The SECRETARY OF THE JOHNSON CLUE.
The late abortive effort to organize a John
son party is scarcely worth considering. But
our attention has been called to the fact that
one of its leaders, and the recording secre-
tary of the johnson Club at Washington, is
the Rev. ]. B. Ferguson formerly of Ten,
nessee During the rebellion Andrep John
san, then Gogeraor Of Tennessee, offered a
REGARD for this Ferguson, ,oho acas dislogal,
and who fled to this city, where he was Sc
creted for several days in the house of a sym
pathizer. He then fed to Europe, and being
a spiritualist, he accompanied the notorious
impostors known as the Davenport brothers.
Returning to this country and adopting the
johnson policy he is favorite guest at the
White House. But this has not strengthened
the johnson party, for some of the few that
had joined it have abandoned it on account
of his connection with it. - Philadelphia

ST. MARY's SUNDAY SCHOOL PICNIC.

On the 4th inst, one of the incest and
most orderly pic-nics we have seen for some
time, left st. Mary's Church, corner of Sixth
and Pine Streets, at an early hour in the
morning. The children, accompanied by
their teachers, proceeded in ranks to the
woods of Colonel Davis, where they enjoyed
themselves during the day, till the storm in
the afternoon put stop TO their amusements.
We highly approve of this way, for children
especially,to to spend such day ms the Fourth
OF July; because it takes them away from
the bad example shown by many in the city.
Amongst those who seemed to take the
greatest interest in the children were Messrs.
Joseph Eising, 7. Fedigan, j. O'Bren and
others. Their delight seemed to be wholly
centeIed in that of the young flock entrusted
TO their charge. Owing to the difficulty of
obtaining full band of music ON the Fourth,
when the demand for musicians is so great,
the music was not altogether what might be
desired, still it was very good, and what
ever was wanting on the part Of the music,
was amply supplied ON the part of the .peo.
Pile, by their mirth and cheerlulncss. Every
thing during the day, passed off in the most
agreeable manner, until the evening, when
the rain caused them to disperse sooner than
expected, and wet few OF the ladies' fine
dresses. OBSERVER.

"A PRorEsrI
wrIMINoroN, June 20, ls0O.

WILMINGTON, June &C. 1885,
HENRY EoKEI.
Dear Sir I'm the issue oil
your paper of June 22d, there is an article
which does such grave injustice to the
church OF which we are members, alike
with yourself, and which is calculated to
NIX such erroneous opinions upon the public
mind, that we feel called upon to address
you this note.
The article in question is a report OF the
sunday School Anniversary of st. Andrew IS
Church, in which you say some things by
indirection, at least, which we know are
untrue.
Passing by the very questionable manner
in which you exalt the christian charities of
one church toward the colored people at'the
expense of scandalizing all the rest there is
an indirect statement in respect to the prac-
tiee OF presenting books to the Sunday
school children, which makes q false I'M
preston as to the manner in which the Sun
day School of the church to which we be-
long has been accustomed to pursue; and so
grossly misrepresents Mrs. j. r. Latimer
that we cannot conscientiously let it pass
without at least protesting against both the
letter and spirit of it, We enclose the ex-
tract from your article against which we
protest.
You ought to know (and we think if you
had exhibited more interest in your own
church and the Sabbath School of your
church, you would know,) that II has al
ways been the custom in our Sunday School
to contribute to every worthy cause, and we
believe our record in this respect will com
pare favorably with any Sunday School in
this city, not excepting st. Andrews, which
you so warmly describe and commend.
The gift of valuable books to the children
takes not one penny from the fund contribu-
ted by the School for benevolent purposes,
but as all the people know, is the sole mat
ter of Mrs. Latimer, not to make the chill
dren.ieel that sit is not better to give than
to receive, but to stimulate them to the
study OF thascriptures.
Mrs, Latimer will undoubtedly feel that
by your article her generous act is placed in
a false light before the community, and be
lieving that you cannot be willing thus TO
do her or our Sabbath School injustice, We
think you will see the propriety of correct
ing or modifying the statement referred to,
RespeCtiully
