The Colorcd CIerp,;.

The colored clergy met again yesterday to
perfect arrangements as to the proposed min
isterial convention. Tue meeting was very
well attended, and several interesting
speeches were delivered. Rev. w. |. Walker
asked the question whether the ministry
most of them were supported by people COM
ing from the south, he thought, if che clergy
We're not directly interested they ought to be,
because of their relation to the people who
had lived there, and who now form two-thirds
of our congregation. Rev. j. AIulligan said
he knew something of the sulerings of south
ern Colorcd people, he had travelled very eX-
tensively in the Gulf states, and knew how
uniustly colored people were treated; he be-
lieved the ministry should lift up its voice
against such high crimes and misdemeanOrs
Rev. w. X. Arnold said: We were efiecting
something every time meeting was held;
We must expect to move slowly and with
great caution, and not be discouraged if we
did not see immediate fruits Rev. w. b.
johnson said Tho character of this move
ment was reformatory, and, as in the case of
all reiormations, progress must be slow; he
advised the clergy to agitate the question
from their pulpits, and thus arouse the in
terest of the laity; he suggested the pro-
priety Of inviting the people to meet at the
next session, and predicted great success for
the movement. The committee on time and
place not being ready to report, the meeting
adjourned to meet next Wednesday in the
Fourth Baptist church, ut 3 o'clock, when it
is hoped that every colored pastor in the dis
triCt and vicinity will be present.

Slavery .Is Brazil.

no JuHCTO NeiCS.
Tho abolition movement in Ceara, Brazil,
has thus far accomplished the liberation of
all the slaves held in twenty i've municipal
ities, and has so reduced the number held in
the other municipalities that the com plete
emancipation of the province is anticipated
before the close Of June next. Should this
expectation be realized, the province of Co.
ara will have accomplished work which is
without parallel in the history of the world
The first municipality to throw off the
burden of slavery was Acarape, on the first
of January, 1888. The province then had
slave population of about $4,000. Since
then the work has gone on steadily and
surely. until now there are twenty-five free
municipalities, and the old slave population
has been reduced by fully one-half 1t should
not bo forgotten that this province is only
just emerging from n visitation of drought,
famine, and plague, which carried off 100000
of her population, destroyed all her indus
tries, and turned her territory into desert.
1t should not be forgotten that these people
have suffered the bitterest pangs of poverty,
hunger, and disease, and that they are prac-
ticaliy beginning life over again; and yet, in
in spite OF all these reverses and misfortunos,
they are resoluteiy working to FREQ every
slave in the province, and to base the future
development and prosperity of the province
upon free labor.

The Art Reccntinn.

The reception of the Washington Art club
last evening, in spite of the inclement
weather, was as largely attended as in the
two preceding evenings. 1t is gratifying to
know that our local artists have been able to
entertain SO agreeably aud interest SO much
through simple display of their works. In
view of the fact that the limited space at their
disposal has prevented their extending regu-
lar invitations to as largo a number as they
could wish, it has been determined to throw
the rooms open to the public to-day and to-
morrow, day and evening, without cards.

The IIOuparrlera.

1t is expected that some of the union hod-
carriers will return to work in few days
at the old rate of wages. The master masons
decided few days ago not to accede to the
demands of the strikers, and now that that
vital point is passed it is thought that the
union men will give in. A large number of
them, however, have announced their inten-
tion Of remaining firm, and some have already
gone to work at other trades. One Of tho
strikers said last night that if the master
masons had not imported laborers the union
men would have won tho fight. There
are nearly 800 hodcarriers employed in this
city, aud the majority of them Joined the
strike although their places were filled
