At a meeting of the Executive Committee

One Of the contemporaries is quite right
in saying that the prospective war between
the President and the Senate will concentrate
all the factions for the great battle in 1888.
1t is one of those things that draw attention

a governing fact. Such times are the only
times when people really exert power.

A RECENT allusion to the eminent Scotch
statesman and author, Sir James Mackin-
tosh, recalls to an old resident OF this city
that the first, or one of the first, pastors of
the Colored Methodist Church here was
Rev. Mr.. Macintosh, half-blood or less, OF
unusual intelligence and amiable DISPOSE
ton, and said by those protesting to have
means of knowing to have been the son of a
vagrant brother of the celebrated Sir James,
who lived for time in the southern part of
this State. The church was on Georgia
street near the canal, and was occasionally
occupid by the noted colored Bishop, Quinn,
of Baltimore. When the original Christ
Church, on Circle street, was removed to
make place for the present edlfce, it was
taken to Georgia street to replace the old
colored church, and was occupied till it
burned down sometime during the war.

When Morn, with music and perfume,
Burst shining in the eastern room,
And made my eager heart elate
With promises of life and blobm,
Besprinkled with the crystal dew,
There came an Angel to the gate,
And said 8 have task for you"
And replied GOOD Angel, wait:
The day will be SO long, so long,
Am am blithe with dance and song
The sun is not an hour high;
! III do your bidding by-and-by--
Have patience with me, then, and wait. y
The glaring sun stood overhead,
The guests were met, the board was
spread,
And high the feast and revel grew,
When. falnting with the midday heat,
The Angel rested at the gate,
And said :" have a task for you.n
And replied !" Good Angel, wait;
The lips are warm, the eyes are bright
The sun is yet half-heayens high
I IL do your bidding by-and-by-
Have patience with me, pray and wait y
The sky is dull. the daylight wanes,
The sleet beats on the western panes
The festive wreaths lie where theiy fell,
Like withered garlands on a tomb.
Their dust the only thing to tell
That there was ever love or bloom:
The story of my day is told,
The music hushed, the revel gone
The eyes are dimmed, the lips are cold.
The brightness flown, sit alone
And watch the dreary night creep on.
All, had but the duty now

Come back, o Angel at the gate,
And give me yet the task to dol

ATHens, August 2S.-Greece has
again been visited by an earthquake
which has been most disastrions in
tue Morea, and in which the loss OF
life, according to the best ini0rma
ton, reaches the enormous figure or
three hundred. The village OF Pyrgo
and the town of Philiatra, both
situated on the western coast Of the
Morea, were the chief sufferers, and
wefe nearly swallowed up. In Pyrgo
not house is le standing, while
Philiatra Is almost swept from the
globe swallowed up in tile convni-

experienced throughout the entire
country, in a greater or less degree.
In the town Of Zante every house
was damaged, and the inhabitants
fled in terror to the open country.
Several town in Italy were also visit
ed by the earthquakes, but not to
any serious extent.

therefore, who had capital boarded

eral development and manufacture
ling enterprises came to a standstiII.
The laborers who would have been
employed to operate these industs
ries were thrown out of employment
or worked on shorter time at lower
wages. They were consequently un.
able to buy more than the bare
necessities Of life, and the artisans
who had heretofore furnished them
with little comforts and luxuries
found no purchasers for their wares,
aud they in turn curtailed their
forces and cut down wages. The
farmer who furnished the meat dis
covered that men who were working
for a bare pittance could not afford
to buy beef six times a week. AS a
result the consumption of beef was
curtailed, and the prices tumbled.
The farm laborer was told that mas
much as his employer was making
nothing ont of his products, that he
was unable to pay the former wages,
and that he must either work for
less per diem or else work fewer
days. And so on through all the
ramifications of trade, of commerce
and of production. A general stag
nation, traceable to the one primal
cause, pcrvaded all classes and
penetrated every section. 1t turned
energetic, industrious mechanics in-
to corner loafers. 1t transformed
comfortable homes into the abodes
of want. 1t sent throughout the land
an army OF tramps and it has filed

heavily upon their hands, but the

the effects of their own indifference,
and if we mistake not the signs Of
the times, when the hour for action
comes they intend to speak with an
