eEce of our music loving citizens and men,
beTs of Congress assembled at Lincoln Hall
last night to honor a young lady of whom
Washington may well be proud. Miss Alice
Hosmer early developed a voice OF remarka-
bic power, compass and sweetness, and lead
ing artists who heard her sing advised her to
secure the best advantages this country or
the Old World can fornish. After gradual
trg with honor from popular institution in
Washington, she placed herself under the in
struction of q master of vocal art in New
York, and after three years training has re-
turned home to prepare for continuing her
musical studies in Europe. Her superior
training and talent were evinced last night,
not only in voice but in expression and gem
eral bearing. Carl Richter, Miss Eva Mills,
Miss Iottie Swallow, Miss Gooda'l. aud
Messrs. Morsell, Young, Pugh, Kohr Hoech
ling and Skidney, all well known TO our
gems To make Miss HosIaer's benefit a sue
cess, ard were warm in praise of her pure,
powerful and flexible voice.
DHsTRvE TO BE SLAvEs AGAIN-This
morning, in the Criminal Court, Charles
Williams, alias Charles Fox, alias VIM.
Fox, was convicted of the larceny of a stove
from Mrs. Downey: In reply to questions
by the court, he said he came from Virginia;
that he lad once before been sent up for a
parcel OF old tools found at his house, but he
wasn't guilty OF this, and when he came
back from where they sent him be made up
his mind with God not TO take anything
more, and he had not taken anything. Judge
Olin said. The sight witnessed here day
AFTER day-a parcel of dirty, idle, lounging
men like you "a dozen or more to every
white man being brought here for thieving-
all sent back TO slavery" He was satisfied
In this case that nothing less than slavery,
and hard slavery at that would be of any
service, and he would impose the extent Of
the law three years in the Maryland peni-
tentisry-regrettingt that he could not make
IL longer term.

REMOVAL OF THE POLICE PROPERTY
CLfRK.-The Board of Metropolitan Police
commissioners at special meeting on the
25th ultimO adopted the following:
ResoIred, That George r. Herrick, property
clerk, is hereby removed from his office, To
take eff6c ct November LIST to-day), he being
required to transfer all public books, papers,
property and records In his custody TO the
secretary Of the board, who is temporarily
assigned 10 the duty of property clerk, with
out additional compensation, pending the
ection OF Congress on the discOutinuance of
the office, TO be recommended in the annual
report Of the board.
The Police Commissioners consider this
tnce unnecessary, and think the police
iunds expended In salary fOi this ofice can
be much more prOitab,y applied In the en-
ploy ment OF more patrolmen.
LIQUOR LICENSES sANDTEMpERANcE Or
GANIZATIONS-Tne published statements
that the board of police have rejected a large
proportion of applications for liquor licenses
through the interference OF temperance or
ganiZaticns are eXaggerations. No protests
of general character from such Organiza-
tiOns have been considered by that board;
only complaints of specific nature have
been "a ken into consideration and even then
have to be substantiated by good proofs
Thus far, out of upwards OF four hundred
applications, only about thirty have been
absolutely rejected.

Perfect Sly le." This lecture will be delivered
