The CoLoREp SoLDIERs.-A lecture was
delivered last evening In the Fifteenth street
Presbyterian church by Col. Geo. NJ. Arnold,
late Of the 4th u. 8. G. T., upon the conduct
Of the colored troops during the war, In
which he claimed that history was not doing
Justice to the colored troops. lie cited
numerous Instances Of bravery exhibited by
these troops, collectively and individually,
aud reviewed their actions throughout the
war, reading extracts from the reports Of
many Of our generals attesting their bravery
and yalor. He was recitlng Geo. Z. Bakers
poem to the colored troops, when company
OF Zouaves entered the room. Col. Arnold
paused while they were being seated, and
then recommended the poem, delivering II
with good deal Of elicit. He claimed that
but for the $4,000 colorcd troops there
would not now be found free colored man
from Maine to Texas, and that the work OF
reconstruction would not now be going on.
The strongest claim the race had to the bal
lot, he said, rested on the shoulders OF the
colored soldiers. He anticipated, under Gen.
Grant, that they would have their rights,
| and peace would follow, and "peace with
our brother Is peace with God"
| Rev. Stella Martin expressed the pleasure
he had felt In listening to the lecture, and
said he had no doubt the audience shared
with him In the feeling. He made few
remarks highly complimentary to the speaker
and his lecture, and moved q vote Of thanks,
which was unanimously adopted.
Col. Arnold, In reply to the remarks Of
Mr.. Martin, gave a brief account Of the
| course he had pursued since he len WASH
ington. He said he had but one end to serve,
and he hoped the young men Of Washington
| would seek to accomplish the same end, and
| that was to vindicatc the character OF the
colored man. He had seen that here In
| Washington the colored man had nothing Ia
| which 70 aspire, and he determined to seek q
genial spot. He therefore went to North
Carolina and bought him home and became
a citizen Of North Carolina, and there he cN.
pected to have his bones buried.
He said q white man, who had been Q
member Of tho Legislature, Lieutenant Gov
! ernor and Senator, said to him that tn
: negroes were brutal race, not at for voters
: This made him mad. He did not challeng,
him to mortal combat, but he did challeng
him to a discussion, which was accepted
but when the time came the white man di,
not come, and he delivered his address TO Al
audience OF several thousand. He from tina
time went into politics, and had stood by tn
Republican party. He now held a commits
sion as colonel OF the militia, was an alder
man, and had been sent by his city TO Ney
York, commissioned to eIpend $50, 900 Of
account Of that city. The young men o
Washington were burying their talent b,
staying here, where they are not respected
rs they should be. He could come here an,
cutter the Capitol and be treated with cour
tesy, because he was a Constituent" III
portrayed the advantages open to them q
citizens Of North Carolina which they coul,
not possess here, and urged emigration /,
that State.

Communicated
CARD FROM ALrRED JONES' Wdshiit1ton,
Feb. 90, 1s69.-Mr. A. n. Nerton-Sir: In
conversation few days ago with you, you
acquainted me with the fact that you were
Christian. If that is SO 1t brings together
truth, Justice and reason. In the first place
you have told the people Of the District that
II "they knew what you knew" concerning
this board Of trustees for colored schools
they would have long since called for a
change. That Is saying great deal. As
for myself don't want you nor any man to
hide anything from me, and In all confidence
can say the same for the other trustees; for
certainly every member Of the Board Is above
reflection. There was no reason why the
truth could not be told now as well as then.
You are politely requested to correct the
statement made at Union League Hall Sat
urday evening, February 20, which must
have evidently been In the brain and not the
heart. II that statement Is not corrected
and made public, and there Is law to reach
the case, (it having dwlndled down to per-
sonal affair." shall summon you, the trus-
tees and all others connected with this affair
to give the sworn facts uncovered. In con-
cluslon I will state one fact, which you GER
tainly never meant, and that Is the power
you claimed for me over the other trustees,
when first entered the board, being unna-
tural and against their natural history.
Please correct the same Immediately.
Yours, respectfully,
ALFRED JONES,
First Colored Trustee.

An OUTRAGEOUS PIECE OF BUSINESS.

An OUTRAGEOUS PIECE OF BUSINESS
Two men, named Thomas Feeney and
John Marion, went to the house of W.
]. c. Anderson, corner Of Byron and
Quincy streets, on Tuesday night, be.
tween 10 and IL o'clock, and attempted
TO force themselves in. Failing in this,
thcy threw Jumps of coal and pieces
Of crockery at the door until
the female portion Of the in
mates were frightened half out OF
their wits. Several of the gentlemen
boarding there, awakened by the noise,
got after the ruffians and run them of.
But they didn't stay run of. Three
times they came back and got into the
yard, peering in the windows and max
ing nuisances of themselves generally.
One of the gentlemen finally went for
the City Sergeant, and the fellows were
arrested. They had n hearing before
Judge Good, yesterday, which resulted
in their being fined $50 and costs each,
or thirty days on the chain-gang. What
could have induced these men to go to
q most respectable house and by their
persistent tumult thus annoy all the
inmates passes our comprehension, es'
pecially as the men were not drunk.

Police CoURT.-The dress parade OF
gaIoots and beuzinists yesterday morn
ing was first class. The offences were
varied enough to make the proceedings
interesting. 1919
Henry Donnenberg was arrested for
smoking in the Second Ward market
He was fined fifty cents and costs, IN
all s34O, for it.
Henry swigart was only released
from custody a day or two since. Yes
terday he went to Louis Keller's and
demanded beer or blood. Failing to
oct beer he made reach for Louis
scalp. Henry told the Judge that If he
wonld only let him 60 just this once he
would 90 right back to "Pennsylwany"
and never come back here again. The
Judge so far complied with his request
"a to send him to the stone quarry in
default of the payment of $40 fine and
costs.
The case of Patrick Cahill was con-
tinued until this morning to give him o
chance to procure his witnesses.
Andrew He'll was up On charge OF
beating his wife. Somehow he got her
to withdraw the charge and he was
permitted to depart on paying the costs
and giving a promise to behave himself
in future.
John. Shuckman came all the way
from Pittsburgh. John got his keg full
and sloshed round Balls Hotel in a
manner perfectly loose and annoying.
Finding the limits of the hotel too con-
fined for his corpus, enlarged as IL was
with many quarts of fusil oil, he went
into Chambers store and raised Ned.
For all Of which Johnny paid the sum
of $40 and costs. ....
Elizabeth Billwig, little girl about
10 years old, was arrested for commit
ting an assault on Kate Coombs, girl
of 7 years. The young ones got to
throwing water on each other by the
dipperful, and finally the Billwig gal
caught the little one and pulled her
hair and hit her with a tin bucket on
the head. For this she was fined 81 and
costs

LAY DELEGATION MEETING A meet
ing of the Methodists of the city was
held last night in the Fourth Street
VI. E. Church to consider the subject of
lay delegation. The meeting was not
very largely attended in the early part
of the evening, but it filed up consid
ersbly before the close. Rev. Mr.. Null
lsnix called the meeting to order and
A. NJ. Adams was chosen President and
C. w. Brockunier was elected Secretary
DR.. Logan being introduced, ad-
dressed the meeting on the subject of
lay representation. The DR.. argued in
favor of lay delegation, using some very
strong arguments in support of his
views on the subject. He wondered at
the want of knowledge on this subject.
Many oppose lay delegations be-
cause they think lay delegates are to 60
to the Annual Conference and assist in
the selection Of preachers and such
other business as is transacted there .
This is not 80. Lay members are only
to go to the General Conference which
meets once in four years, where and
when laws for the government of the
Church are made. The Meth odist
Church is the only Protestant Church in
the country where the governed have no
voice in making the laws that govern
them. The clergy of the Church are al
most unit on this question. Seven Of
the nine Bishops of the Church have re-
corded their convictions in favor of it.
In fact the preachers of the Church are
more active in favor of representation
than the laymen themselves. He d.
vided the laity inS three classes: 1st'
Those in favor of the proposition; I'd,
Those opposed to it, and Sd, those who
don't care how it goes. This last class
he thought was the most numerous.
The DR.. made a very fOrcible argu
ment ia favor of his side of the ques-
ton. He was followed by Hon. c. D.
Hubbard, who spoke strongly in favor
of lay representation. He said that in
the Conference ordering the vote that
is being taken on this subject there
were but three votes recorded against
it. He said that the great expense OF
increasing the delegation TO the General
Conference is used as An argument
against it. The expense of additional
or lay delegation from West Virginia
would cost each member of the Church
Just one cent, to be paid every four
years.
Mr.. Davenport announced that there
would be social meeting in the Fourth
Street N, E. Church on Friday for the
purpose of voting on the subject OF lay
delegation. The polls will be open from
2 o'clock in the afternoon until ~
o'clock at night. In the evening ice
cream, strawberries and cake will be
provided by the Ladies' Home Mission
Society.
The following gentlemen have been
appointed tellers: John Bailie, Frank
Coen, Capt. Carlin, Thos. Marsh, JOS
Willets, F. D. Drake, c. W. Brockunier
and l. H. Williams, some of whom will
be on duty all the time. Capt Cochran
will deliver q brief address at night.

BODY FoUND.-The nude body of a
boy about thirteen years old was found
in Back river, above the bridge, yester-
day about noon. The body has q rud-
dy appearance not at all like that of a
dead person, and is not swollen in the
slightest. 1t is supposed to he the body
of young Torrinton, who was drowned
at Wellsville on Monday while bathing
A dispatch announcing the finding Of
the body was sent to Wellsville at once
and the parents of the drowned boy
arrived here last night, identified the
body, and took it with them to Wells
villa.
