Bethel Hall was filled to overfowing last
evening, the occasion being the regular
meeting of the Historical and Literary AS
sociation.
The pastor of the Nineteenth
church, Rev. Walter II. Brooks, read an in
teresting paper on the condition of the COL
ored people in the South. He said that
deep interest had been and is now being
manifested in their condition, perils, posi-
bilities and hopes. He was native of
the South, and only obtained free
dom by the general emancipation.
There is public school system in the
Southern States, but is not sufficient to
elevate the masses. There are hundreds
and thousands of ministers and church
members who are entirely illiterate, and
the morals of neither arc sign-pOsts. There
are more than 2, 100000 ofcolored people who
cannot read or write. There are only 500, 900
colored children who are now attending
schools in the South. Ignorance and vice
are supplemented by prodigality and in
temperance. They need to repair their
manly spirit and improve their morals. The
condition of the negro in the South is purely
the result of accidental causes,
He spoke of the capacity of the negro for
intellectual development. But he con-
tinued, intellect alone cannot develop Il
people, it must be supplemented by high
moral qualities, Rome and Greece had
sufficient of the former, but were deficient
in the latter, and hence they fell. Speaking
of the hopes of the colored people in the
South, Mr.. Brooks thought that there was
remarkable advancement as compared with
their former state. Among the mass of the
people there are to be found number OF
young educated colored men, and many
old citizens have acquired homesteads
The religious and moral condition of the
colored people in the South was also i'm,

The paper of the evening was generally

Rowe against John Q. Thompson, Of the
Sunday Chronicle, was called for trial in the
Police Court to-day, and went over until
Saturday next. Colonel Christy, as counsel
for the defense, stated that there was an
unfortunate misapprehension in the publi-
cation of the article on which the charge
was based. He had known Mr. Rowe for a
long time, and both he and his client deeply
regretted that anything had been published
calculated to in any way injure the com
plainant, The supposed facts on which the
publication had been based were found to be
incorrect.

Mrs. Fosters Address.

Wesley Chapel was well filled last even
ing to hear the addres of Mrs. j. Ellen Fos-
ter on the Prohibition of the Liquor
Traffic" The preliminary exercises were
commercially short, and. Mrs. Foster being
introduced, began her lecture by saying
that all who ever accomplished any good
thing must first learn to endure. She
spoke Of the recent decision of the Supreme
Court of Iowa making the prohibitory
amendment void on account of simple
technicality, thereby wholly disregarding
the will of the people expressed by 10000
majority. She said she appreciated the
full meaning of the term she used, when
she called it outrageous She quoted
Blackstone as her authority for saying that
mo human law is enduring, except as it is
founded on divine law" Gods law is
in opposition to the liquor traffic, aud the
liquor traffic must go down" The recent
elections were referred to, and some strong
reasons given for the defeat Of the Repub-
lican party. The people failed to see
great principle upheld in the issue, and the
people could not rally around vacuum
The lecturer spoke for one and a-half
hours and was frequently applapded by her
appreciative audience. At the close Of the
address Mrs, Foster took a late train for
Wheeling, where she is to speak before the
Legislature of the State this evening. She
is accompanied by her husband, Hon. L. G..
Foster, who is equally as earnest an
advocate of temperance as herself. From
Wheeling and vicinity they will make a
tour through the South as far as Mobile,
Ala, and return to New York about March

NEW YORK; 1u1y zo
 To-day has been the dullest day for year in the stock markets, the sales aggregating about 100000 shares. There was unusual scarcity of news or ruors of any sort to affect the market and specula ton dragged along in fits starts, exciting but Ht tie interest The little trading done, has been the case for weeks past, was by the professional and room traders. Everybody seems to be waiting fo r somethtng to turn up which will make it worth while to speculate The calling in by the Secretary Of the Treasury of thrtytwo million dollars bonds for demption at this tims of theyear is looked upon very significant In some circles in Wall street and many brokers do not hesitate to assert that the ten of Secretary Folger in this respect is for the purpose Of helping Gould out his present dilemma
