The meeting OF Washington Temple, No. 1,
at Washington Hall, on Capitol Hill last evon.
Ing, was exceedingly interesting and unusually
we'll attended. A large number OF tho Good
Templnrs Of the District wore entertained as
visitors, and tho presence OF Grand Worthy
Chief Templar Mr.. A. II. Frear and tho general
superintendent of Juvenile Templars, Miss v.
J.. Andrews, lent additional attraction to tho
occasion. The grand officers paid deserved
compliments 10 tho officers Of tho temple upon
the perfect manner In which their different du-
ties were performed, and upon tho growth
and influence Of tho temple. II was decided
TO postpone the regular meeting noxt week
until Saturday evening instead OF Friday, and
at that time officers for the next quarter will BIO
elected. A comm ttoo was appointed to ar
range for musical and literary entertain
ment, TO he given for the benefit of tho temple
ut Washington Hall on Friday evening, Au-
gust 4. The excellent talent within tho tenn
pie Will be reinforced by a host OF volunteers
who are anxious to aid the children, 30 that an
entertainment OF superior morit and attrac'
tion may be expected. After the business ses-
sion last evening, Brother Frear addressed the

Judge Lawrence, First Comptroller Of tho

trict Commissioners as towhother certain con-
tracts for articles to be furnished during tho
current year are valid, said contracts having
been made prior TO July 1, 1882, tho date OF
the act making appropriations for tho District
Of Columbia for the fiscal year ending Juno
80, 1883.
lie gays that by section 8 Of the act OF Juno
/, 1878, providing n permanent form of gov
eminent for the District OF Columbia, the
Commissioners are prohibited from making
any contract or mourning any obligation other
than such contracts and obligations as are
hereinafter provided for and shall BIO np-
proved by Congress. This clause means that
tho Commissioners shall not mako any con-
tract or incur any obligation other than such
contracts and obligations rs may DO author
lied and approved by the appropriation made
by Congress.
The Commissioners had no authority OF law
10 mako the contracts referred TO Oor general
supplies), prior to the passage OF tho appro-
priation act, and said contracts are therefore
void. The question whether contracts for sup
plies OF the kind in question must be adver-
tcsed for, not having been submitted for deci-
sion, Is not decided. Judge Lawrence suggests
that the parties with whom the void contracts
have been entered Into should be notified that
they are invalid as early as practicable.

OF which the indianapolis journal is the lineal

used the words "Hoosier" and "Hoosior's
