STREET PREACHING AGAIN.

To the Editor of the National Republican:
SIR: They were out again last night-the
street preachers-shrieking that now was the
accepted time, when everybody knew it was
late bedtime, and shouting for the descent of
the spirit on the instant, In tones that drove
all the startled baby angels on rapid wing to
hasten to fill the great ear of heaven with
spiritual cotton to prevent perpetual deafness,
to the detriment of all less boisterous suppli-
capts at the throne of mercy forever after; and
singing louder than the wind in winter when it
rends the forest oaks, eve are going, we are
going to the happy, happy land, !" when every
body else knew they ought to be going home
and TO sleep, and wished they would. Oh,
these deluded, bowling dervisesl Theirs is a
shocking liberty of speech, and an alarming
the great cause Of the Master. When the ex-
element wears of, and they take time to look
after their gains, they will find the majority in
the ranks Of the adversary; the devil will have
got the harvest and they but the gleanings,
But there is a melancholy phase: these mid
night haranguers are incipient lunatics and
monomaniacs.
1t is the Office of benevolence to seek them
out kindly and provide proper medical treat
ment for them. Now is the accepted time, for
the dog days are coming; or, If there is any
delay, they will need straight-ja and lodg-
ment In the insane asylum, where they will
drink of the chalice they have commended and
forced to the lips of their neighbors, unwilling
auditors of their frequent exhortations.
mean the babble, rawlings and howlings Of the
demented. Think not that these religious ex-
cesses are any less destructive and reprehen-
sible than the bacchana1ian orgies of the uncon-
yerted; both are indicative Of an abnormal con-
dition, needing mental, moral or physical med
icaments, perhaps forcible restraints. The
annoyance, however, to which allusion has
been made, has been long and impstiently
borne, but there comes time when forbear-
ance ceases TO be virtue. The proper action
Of the proper authorities may prevent unpleas-
ant scenes.

Many Of the readers Of TIE REPUBLICAN are
probably not aware that the recent commence
ment exercises of the New York University
have very pleasant local interest. From the
accounts given IN the New York papers it ap-
pears that Charles Joseph Hedrick, son Of
Professor Hedrick, not only graduated with the
highest honors, but was the successful COM
petitor for the principal prizes. He delivered
the yaledictory addresses, which are spoken Of
in q manner highly complimentary TO the
youthful scholar. In the fellowships he re-
ceived the $500 award. He q lso won the

lish composition, and had the regular degree
of the university conferred upon him.

WHAT HARD WORDS COST.
ONE OF THE SOCIETY MEN CUT UNDER
THE RIGHT EYE.

ONE OF THE SOCIETY MEN CUT UNDER
THE RIGHT EYE.
Last night, about II 80 O'Clock, considerable
excitement was caused at the corner of Thir-
teenth and D streets, just below TIE REPUB-
LIcAN office, by the loud and frequent cries of
"Police r 1t did not take long for crowd to
gather, for most Of the residents of that locality
are alive for disturbances at any hour, and
many Of them, if they thought one likely to
occur, would sit up the entire night rather
than be asleep and miss 1t. The officers were
Fastening to the spot before their assistance
was invoked, having become cognizant of an
approaching disturbance from the loud and
boisterous language that had been previously
used.
It seems that Averly Watkins, colored, is a
member of the order Of Odd Fellows, that have
their hall in the large brown-front house on
Thirteenth street, below D. He had been at
tending lodge, and doubtless became imbued
with the spirit of virtue and goodness, for on
emerging from the building he noticed crowd
assembled on the sidewalk, all colored, CON-
posed of males and females, whose reputation
for chastity and responsibility would not prob
ably bear ventilation. He gave expression to
his ideas regarding lewd persons blockading
the sidewalk and interrupting the travel of de-
cent people. .-.
George Robinson, also colored, was in the
crowd spoken OF, and did not exactly appre-
ciate the remark made by Watkins. So he
stepped out and very quickly informed that
individual to measure his words in a more po-
lite manner, or he would be assisted to do so.
Watkins replied rather shortly. and started to
walk on, when Robinson let fly with his left,
bringing his bunch of ives in close contact
with Watkins right eye, drawing first blood
and laying open the flesh. 1t was then the cry
of police was raised, and when asked what for
somebody said one Of their society men had
been hit.
Officers Mahoney and Berkeley were soon on
hand. The former succeeded in arresting
Robinson, but while on the way to the station,
he broke away and made dart up Twelfth
street, but was brought to q sudden stand,
when near F street, by gentleman who, see
ing the officer in pursuit, administered the
ock-down process, infiicting q similar wound
under his left eye as he gave Watkins under
the right. Mahoney then brought him to the
station and he will attend Judge Snell's regu-
lar morning reception to-day.
