NEW PUBLIC BUILDINGS.
Meeting Of the snb- Committee In Refers
q RrnnnAnia

Meeting of the snb. Committee In Reference
TO PrOpoaais.
A meeting of the subcommittee of the New
Public Buildings Commission was held at noon
10 day in the new Court House. Mr.. II. HUM
occupied the chair.
A Communication was received from Mr. NJ
s. Carman, giving in detail his bid for concrete
foundations. Postponed.
Mr.. John Macarthur, architect, to whom was
referred the bids for the foundations and cellar
walls for the proposed new public buildings
made a report TO the effect that the bid of Mr..
GoTgas for stone from the Mount Airy quarries
at $3.50 per perch, is the lowest offered being
S4'75 below the bid of the Consohocken Quarries
for dimension stone, and s04S below the same
for the smaller stone, and 1915 below the bid
OF the Leiper q Lewis Quarries for dimension
stone, and so 10 per perch below the same for
the smaller stone. The bid of the Consohocken
Stone Quarry Company for select dimension
stone at S725 per perch is 81 per perch less
than that of Leiper 81 Lewis for Chester stone,
whose bid is 1925 per perch.
The bid for large size rubbe of the Leiper q
Lewis Chester quarries at 50 60 per perch is
3o cents lower than that of the Conshohocken
Stone Quarry Company, whose bid is S2'9S per
perch, but by combining the bids for the dimen-
sion and smaller stone together the proposal OF
the Conshohocken stone quarry is the most
favorable, based upon the relative amount of
each size probably required. For laying stone
and furnishing mortar the proposal of Drake "
Hutchinson is 70 cents per perch below that of
Mr.. Carman on dimension stone and 20 cents
per perch on the smaller sizes.
The proposal of Norris S. Cummings at So S715
per perch (kind and quality Of stone not speci-
fed is $l'031& per perch below that of Mr..
Carmanj whose bid for large stone is $3.50 per
perch, and sc 7315 per perch for ordinary stone.
Mr.. Carman's bid is also s1'4714 per perch below
that of Hutchinson 81 Drake tor Conshohocken
store, which they average at IS 30 per perch.
Mr.. Carman's bid is based upon stone from Nc
Twain or Leiper quarres.
The report was, on motion, postponed for the
present
On motion of Mr.. Gray it was agreed to re-
port favorably to the board upon the bid of Mr.
Mclaughlin at "a cents per yard for excavation
and recommended that his security be fixed
at $4,000
On motion the committee adjourned

THE CAMDEN RIOTERS.
The Testimony Al In-summlnE Up Of

The Testimony Al In,-summinE Up Of
The United States Courtroom at Trenton was
filed TO the utmost, on Tuesday, by parties
drawn thither to hear the trial of Francis
Souders, one of the Camden rioters. Among
the spectators was large number of colored
men, who have, from the first, evinced great in
terest In the proceedings.
The evidence being all in, John J. King, AS
sistant District Attorney, began the summing
up on the part of the Government.
Mr.. King, after thanking the jury for their
earnest attention and uuwearied patience during
the progress of this lengthy trial, began his
argument by referring to the great Importance
of the issues involved. II was Trial which
claimed, not only the attention of the township
and county wherein the crime was committed
not only of the State OF New Jersey, but of
every lover Of liberty throughout the land-that
il was impossible to imagine a greater crime
against the peace and welfare of this nation
than the one charged against the defendant. 1t
is crime which strikes at the very life OF this
republic.
lie then proceeded to show upon what all
republican forms of government rested-that
our republic derived all its force and efficacy
from the consent of the governed, as expressed
through their representative chosen by them
from among themselves-that this consent,
which we call Suffrage" Is the foundation
upon which our Government is constructed, and
is the life-blood which courses through all its
system, and that IL is absolutely necessary to
defend this prerogative in all its purity, as the
dearest treasure we possess; that If we permit it
to become prostituted or suffer the unhallowed
hand of crime or the bitterness of partisan
strife to control its action, republic is gone
forever, and with it all the blessings which
freedom bestows.
lie then referred to the preamble to the Con-
stjtution of the United States to show the ex-
alted privileges secured to every American citi-
zen by the Constitution; that all its provisions
and all it's laws were made for the purpose of
securing those blessings to this people; that, in
pursuance of the authority given to Congress by
that instrument, the fifteenth amendment was
passed and lawfully ratified by the requisite
number of States, and had become part of
the Constitution, and citizens we we're
bound to respect and obey it; tina! by that
law the negroes we're made citizens and as
such were entitled to the same rights as
ourselves; that the Constitution empowers Con.
gress to make regulations concerning the cleo
tions of members of Congress; that by virtue
thereof the law under which this Indictment is
brought was passed. He then stated the real
points in issue against the defendant, ETC., and
reviewed in very able manner the evidence of
the many witnesses sworn.
He was followed by Mr.. Browning for the de-
fense, who made forcbe appeal in behalf of
his client. Mr.. Browning labored hard to show
that the colored men we're not obstructed in
their efforts to vote.

SERENADE TO DIR. Fl. T. HELMBoLD.-Last
evening, at about 12 o'clock, fine serenade
was rendered to the well-known Dr. II. T.
Helmbold at the Continental Hotel, where that
distinguished person has been staying for two
or three days past, attending to matters con-
nected with his immense business interests.
The serenade was rendered by Beck's Philadel-
phia Band, and IL was intended as a compli-
ment in recognition of many personal favors
received by members of the band from the
Doctor while at Long Branch during the two
preceding seasons. Only twelve hours notice
had been given of the occurrence to the mem
bers of the band, but there was a fine turnout,
and the selections played were excellent.
Among other things q galop was performed,
which was composed by Dodworth, of New
York, and dedicated to Mrs. Helmbold. After
the band had delighted its auditors for some
time they were invited by the Doctor to Parlor
e of the hotel, where fine entertainment, con-
sisting of all the deeacies of the season, was
spread. Ample justice was done to the good
things provided by all present, after which
more music was furnished, and the party dis
persed

CONCERT AT THE BEDFORD STREET MISSION.
"A grand concert of vocal and instrumental
music was given last evening at the Bedford
Street Mission by the ladies and gentlemen of
the choir of the Green Street Methodist Episco-
pal Church. The affair was n brilliant success,
the audience being large and enthusiastic, and
composed of the most fashionable residents of
Bedford street and vicinity. The concert went
off in excellent style, and the entertainment
was highly enjoyed by those in attendance.
The hit of the evening was the song of The
Farmers Boy" with a whistling accompany
ment by Mr.. Theodore Owes
This brought down the house, and occasioned
aM enthusiastic demand for an encore. All the
ladies and gentlemen of the choir entered
heartily into the spirit of the affair, aud the
pleasure which their efforts afforded must have
been in the highest degree gratifying to them
1t is scarcely necessary for us to suggest that
such an entertainment as this must have a
beneficial effect upon the people of the Bed
ford street district, and that it must aid mate
rally in civilizing and ChrstauiZing them.
On Monday next another concert will be given,
when number of glees and other popular
pieces will be sung,
