II. A. Wormley. The following
is the report which was unani-
mously adopted:
We your committee reports, that
from the best light that has been
thrown upon this complicated ques-
ton, the list grievances that have
been presented to this council by
one hundred or more members, as
the basis of their desire for separa-
tion from the Shiloh Church, seems
to justify their action looking to the
severance of their church relation
with the same body. We further
report, that we have carefully exam

posed Walker Memorial Baptist
Church, and their cOvenent, and we
accept them as strictly in the line
of the Baptist faith, and denOnina.

the facts aud circumstances that

following resolutions in this con-

when he was given the position of
the Recorder of the Land Office
and for which office he expressed
himself as being highly gratitied
We were interested in him when
short time afterwards he sudden

to appoint bigger men than he was
to bigger offices than he had. We
were interested in hlm when find
ing himself completely over shad-
owed by adler men, he attempted
to get even by creating antag nlsm
between northern and southern
men, thus destroying their harmo
niouS action and unity OF purpose,
and ultimately bringing both into
contempt. We are interested in
him now VIII lie he is, menaphori-
cally speaking, raising heaven and
earth to get a bigger office than
he now holds. We are even in
terested in the resignation racket
which he is now playing with the
hope OF attracting momentary at
teutiOn on the one hand, and in
ducing the administration on the
other to fix him. A life position

Some few days ago the BEE con-
tanned brief mention of the pTeju-
dice of few white aristocrats had
against the colored people in the
OF Iowa Circle. The matter
has been called to the attention of
the Secretary of War, whether the
Commissioners of Public Buildings
and Grounds can refuse to place
seats in public park because it is
distaSteful to few white aristO-
Gratis. The vacinity of Iowa Circle
everybody must admit, is one hun
dred per cent better now than it ev.
er has been, and the cOlored people
are as much entitled to enjoy an
evening of pleasure in the park as
they have in any other park OF a
public character. For some time
this feeling against the cOlOred res
idents In the vacluity of Iowa Cir
Gle has beeL growing and just how
a few fastidious white people Can
force the government TO close a
public park against another class
of tax payers and citizens is queS

cOlOred people in that neigbbOrhOOd

THE TRUMVIRATE.

One or twopoli ical nondescripts
who went up like rocket, and
came down like a stick, in order
to account for their own utter
want OF ability and political sagac
ity have industriously circulated
the report that there was in eAis-
tence a political triumvirate of
which ex-senator Bruce was the
head center, the purpose of which
was to control Federal appoint
ments. The Indianapolis Freeman
in referring to this matter strikes
the nail on the head as follows.
"Bruce has never yet been found
wanting to do the right thing for
his people. If he controls the ad-
ministration ia Negro appoint
ments as is reported, we breathe
then in perfect ease. We would
rather trust Bruce thau-well 1t
does not matter. The triumvirate
is all right, brethren"
We agree full ly with tue Freeman.
Heretofore a certain class of ne
groes have been loud in their de-
nunciation of their representative
men, because they did not WELD
influence with the administration;
now they quarrel because these
same representatives, as they al
Iege, WELD tso much influence.

A great deal of nonsense has
been talked about, the question is
whose place it is to bow first when
lady and gentleman meet upon
the street or in public assembly?
The important thing, of course, is
that a man should not presume;
that for instance, he should not
speak to a lady to whom
be has been merely introduced. un.
less she shows some sign of willing
ness to continue the acquaiut tance
Not to lift his hat to her with def.
erence would be a rudeness but he
should not stop to speak unless
she makes the first movement in
that direction. When two people
meet who are really acquainted it
is not the man who should bow
first or the lady it is whichever
of them is the 1st to recognize the
other. The man will not commit
the swkwardness OF keeping her
standing in the street but beg her
permission to walk beside her for
brief chat. The lady on her part
will of course make 1t pleasant for
him to leave her after they have
exchanged few pleasant senten-
ces.

Amos j. Smell, held extended negotiations with
the police authorities some six months
ago looking to the surrender of his
brother. The terms on which the sur-
render was TO be made we're that an in

tive was TO be nolle prosecuted and that he
was TO be paid the reward OF $50. 900 offered by
the relatives Of the dead man for his capture.
TO be used in his defense against the
charge of murder. The negotiations.
however, finally fell through, Frank
Iascott becoming suspicious that the
police department would not give his brother
tair treatment. These facts are admitted by
Police Inspector Marsh. who WAS at that time.

Tascott was hiding. Detective Duffy, who was

opinion, the evidence against 1ascott ID not

There was very little doing at the White

serves the right to reject any or all calls. but
of course he seldom exercises this privilege
He merely hopes that those who have no i'm

give him a chance to look into the matters that
accumulate during the five days when his door
stands wide open. In short. Monday is a sort
OF official ''day Of rest" yet the President
usually transacts more business on that day
than on any others. He merely has more time
OF course he sends for people whom he wants to
see, and it often happens that Mondays grist of
callers is as large any other. But those who
come are the summoned ones, and the busy
ones. and the ones in a hurry. This morning

Bonding OF the Itata.

The appointment Of appraisers at San Diego,
Cal, to appraise the Itata was made so as to
allow the owners or other persons interested in
her to furnish bond for her appearance when
the case against her may be called for trial
The assent to this course was given by At
torney General Miller. The vessel being
bonded, her bondsmen viii be responsible in
the amount given if the vessel should fail to
turn up when the trial begins, and the vessel in
the meanwhile can be used for some purpose
instead Of being compelled to stay ut her wharf
idle. This Is the rule followed by the courts in
admiralty cases except when q vessel is seized
for violation of the neutrality laws. when if q
seized vessel were released she could resume
the very work she was seized for attempting to
do. AL these conditions having been passed in
the case Of the Itata, owing to the victory Of
the congressional party in Chill, there could
not be any objection to . release Of the vessel
on bond. The bonding Of the vessel a. contem-
plated has no other significance than that above
indicated.
