What "a Boy Orator Says.

To the Editor of THE REPUBLICAN:
The first night of last December Mr..
Lee Nance, the young colored man who promi-
nentiy figured in the last campaign for the success
of the Republican cause as the boy orator." de-
hvered in Chester, Pa, an address, during the
course of which-if the Chester Times and the
Camden, On. j. Daily Post correctly report him
he made use of these words: " Let me say to YOU
now, in the language of Senator elect Malone
that we are struggling for freedom of thought
freedom of action, freedom Of opinion, freedom of
speech, and a free ballot, n full vote and
fair count. These you have ih the manufactur-
ing East, the commercial North, and the prOgress-
i've agricultural West, rightly and Justly These
we should have in the far South wherever King
Cotton is produced especially. We want no more
than these. We Will never, never never accept of
less" Now, Mr.. Editor, was he not wrong in
crediting Senator Malone with having up to that
time, used such language? If not, when, and
upon what occasion did Senator Malone make
use of the expression we are struggling &c ~
By answering you will confer favor upon many

THE BIBLE SOCIETY.
The Anniversary at Foundry Church-The
Revised New Testament

| The anniversary of the Washington
| City Bible Society was held last evening at the
Foundry Church. There was q good-sized audi
ence present and the exercises were of highly
interesting character. Printed copies of the an
| nual report had been distributed in the pews,
and the president of the society, Rev. DIR.
Pitzer who presided at the meeting, said that the
reading would be omitted. He said that the work
of revising the Bible which had been pursued
steadily in this country and Europe for the past
eleven years, has been concluded, so far as
regards the New Testament, and copy
will be obtained by the 18th of May. The
board has taken preliminary steps to place this re-
vised New Testament before our Christian commu-
nifty by appointing a very able committee OF doc
tors of divinity in the Methodist Lutheran, Epis-
copal, Baptist, Congregational, and Presbyterian
pupits of this city to critically examine and report
upon it, and the report will be made public. Rev.
DIR. Lanahan, who occupied seat ON the platform
with Rev. DR.. Thomas Guard, of Baltimore, and
Rev. DR.. Pitzer, announced in his humorous way
that collection would be taken up, and appealed
for liberal one. After the collection had been
taken Rev. DR.. Pitzer said that they had with them
the orator of the occasion, who Was q Son OF q
Methodist minister from the Emerald Isle, and his
fame was widespread that Rev. DR.
Thomas Guard needed no Introduction. DIR
Guard then made ali eloquent and in
teTesuIg address upon some OF the reIatlOns winch
exist between the book, its mission and genius,
and the age in which we live. Hemaintained that
the Bible had kept pace with the intense intellec
tual movement of the age. Upon the conclusion
of the address DR.. Lanahan presented, on
behalf of the members of the society, very
beautiful floral design, made of white flowers, rep
resenting the open Bible with the words Holy
Bible upon it, to the president of the society in
recognition of his valuable services. DR.. Pitzer
received the gift in neat speech expressive of

THE OFFAL SERVICE
TURNING THE TABLES.
The AtIantics Beat the Nationals by One
Run,

The second game between the Nationals
and the Atlanties of Brooklyn, yesterday resulted
in a victory for the visitors who were aided by the
poor fielding and weak batting of the home team,
much to the disgust of the spectators, who had
hoped to see the red legs bag another ball. The
Atlantics experienced no difficulty in hitting
Weidman who seemed diSheartened at the poor
support rendered him by his fieiderS while Dris-
coll too effective for the strongest baters
of the Nationals, only four hits being scored OFF
him during the nine innings. In a game where
fielding not feature, the only hOnOrS, if any.
should be awarded to Nelson, the Atanties' short
stop, and an "old-timer," whose batting was sim
ply immense, Weidman, of the reds, deserves
credit, however, for the admirable manner with
which he guarded his bases and caught two of
his opponents mapping, among them Nelson. There
is good material in the Nationals, but they must
develop more energy at the bat, and not content
themselves with poking the ball into the hands of
the second and third basemen. The following is a
score of the game:
