Monthly Concert.
The extended notice Of the Monthly Con-
oest 0. shiloh Baptist Sabbath School, COM
mun.cated by Isaiah Mitchell, ESQ.,, BY mis-
understanding failed to appear in our last
issue.
We learn that the concert, in all respects,
vas a success, rejecting credit both upon
scholar. and managers. The exercises were
,ntcrspersed by excellent music and appro-
pirate speeches Of the pastor and Prof. John
NJ. I.angston. This Sabbath school deserves
favor of an educated ministry.

Information in regard to the opening Of the
aboye.named department.
We take pleasure in commenting this insti-
tuition TO all Young men who desire TO prepare
themselves Cor the practice Of the profession
olaw TIE course Of instruction is thorough
and comprehensive, and the fees about half
The sum charged in other law schools. The
plan Of recitation is new and excellent
testure Of this law school. The rhetorical
exercises, unicr Prof. John NJ. Iangston,
afford an excellent opportunity for model
oratory. Connected with Prof. Langston is
one ofthc most distinguished members ofthc
Washington bar, Prof. A. 6. Riddle, whose
lectures, the results of daily experience in
practice, are invaluable.
ANY Young man desiring TO study Law, who
will take the trouble Of visiting the Howard
University Law school, will surely connect
himself with il.

Macedonian Sabbath school.
The picnic of the Macedonian Sabbath
School Of Potomac City, ID. c., which was
to have been held on the 10Th OF August last,
and was postponed OH account Of the weather
until the Goth, was held last Friday. AL
though The weather was very unfavorable,
there was quite large turn ont. The school
met at the church at & q. M, and, after
forming marched to the navy-yard, headed
by the Pioneer Club Of Potomac City, and
there joined with the Rising Star No. .. of
the Second Baptist Church Of Washington,
and the Christian Association No. l, which
was organized in 1862. This Association
earned a very fine banner, and was escorted
to the navy-yard by the National Band of
Washington, (Bobert McKenny, leader.)
After all Of the associations had formed at
the nayy-yard, they marched to the grove,
led by the band. And, being obliged to leave
the grove early in the afternoon on account
Of the rain, they retired to Douglass Hall,
in Potomac City, where refreshments were
served. They remained at the hall until late
in the evening enjoying themselves in differ
ent WAYS.
This was a rare treat to the children, who
have heretofore had no hall or building of
any size in which to enjoy themselves.
Great credit is due Mr.. G. W. Davis, (the
superintendent Of the school, } who has, and
always does, labor faithfully to accomplish
anything that will be in any way benefit
10 the school. He has labored with this
school from its commencement, and almost
entirely through his eyertions he has made
II what il iS-a large and flourishing school.
The colorcd schools have resumed for the
iall and winter work. There are very few
changes. Only mutual back-scratching of
the Republican and the Board and the Super
intendent. 7rid j,ncta an uno. There is a
little more of Johnson's toadying, and some
ofhis petty spite against women, too low TO
notice, and that is all. He intends to be
VERY severe" so he said, in his opening
speech, this year." against those people
and those children who are opposed to his
shiny rule.
Professor tashon desires Us to state that
Ne did him an injustice in our report Of the
last meeting of the Colored School Board
He was the only member who was in favor
oi allowing all persons TO contend in the
examination for teachers. In the vote intro
duced BY Mr.. johnson, TO give preference to
residents in the District, his was the only
vote against il, and so stands on the records,
where the yeas and nays are recorded as
called for by him. We cheerfully print this
cor rection, not being desirious Of misrepre-
senting our friend, the Professor. We drew
our report from both the Chronicle and
htp"tticon, the latter having been revised by
the Head of the Educational affairs"
