exercise of their political aud civil rights with
out the constant Intervention Of military au-
thor,y; and it is much better to allow the
States to manage and coutrol their domestic
affairs by their own officers and under their

meut to interfere"

BOARD OF ALDERMEN = A member Of the
Board OF Aldermen in speaking on a motion to
refer something to the Committee on Streets
and the Superintendent of the police with pow
er to act, took the ground that the dcberatlve
obj .ct of referring any subject to committee
was for the purpose of getting information in
regard to the sutjcct, and not to obtain legisla-
tive action; aud that it is the duty of all COM
mittees to report back for instruction before
taking action, for the very good reason that a
committee Of the City Council is but one-sixth
part Of the Council; and that the duties of the
Superintendent OF the Police we're simply those
of scavengcr; and if those who are curious to
know the precise meaning Of the words scayeD-
ger aud police, will take the trouble to consult
Webster's dictionary and the law Of the corpo
ration, they will tud the idea of the Alderman
to be correct. The Board Of Aldermen is de-
termined to give It's emphatic votes against the
corruptiug practice of referring important mat
ters TO committees with power to act; nor
will it allow, 10 future, as in the past, chair
men of committees to vote themselves control
of the public money without reporting back to
the Council the manner in which the money
was spent, or to allow committee to vote it
self the power to use six hundred dollars, and
then on the same resolution, without knowl
edge of Council, to spend twelve hundred dol.

Camp Meeting at Thornton.

Correspondence of the Alexandria Gazette. !
VIENNA, Va, Aug. 8, lS74.-The camp
meeting n progress near ThorntoDs Station,
under the auspices of the Methodist Episcopal
Church. was largely attended on yesterday
special trains being run from PurcellvlIle and
Alexandria for the accommodation OF those
wishing to avail themselves of an opportunity
of spending day in the woods. The train
| from Alexandria was crowded, though we
| missed most of the familiar faces We had been
in the habit of seeing from your city. Most
of the crowd seemed to be young people who
we're anticipating good time. They we're join
ed at Vinna and other places on the road by
numerous throng, laden witt baskets of eatables,
and with a suspicion Of fluids also. On arriving
at the grounds we found large audience pres
eut, but were surprised to Gud only four tents
erected. The woods we're thronged with horses
and vehicles, and many of those arriving on
the ground, finding no seats, remained with
their teams most of the day. Rev. Mr. Phelps
occupied the pull pit in the maruing, aud MIR.
King in the afternoon, both preaching iDstruc-
i've aud interesting sermons, but there was SO
much confusion aud talking in the audience
that it was difficult to hear underStandIogly.
There was no invitation given to penitents at
the close of the services, and after those of the
morning all repaired to such shady places as
they found and discussed with enthusiasm, the
contents of the baskets mentioned above. Later
10 the day those VINO came by the railroad left
for the station, some three.quarters OF mile
off, and thence departed for home, with the
feeling that the camp meeting was rather
failure. 1t is, however, to he continued for
some days yet n.
