FINE SUPPER;
GOOD SPEECHES
The Annual Social and Dinner at
at Seventh-Street Church
Delightful Affair.

In response to an invitation sent out
by the pastor Rev. Carey E. Morgan,
about two hundred and fifty gentlemen
gathered in the lecture-room of the
Seventh Street Christian Church last
evening to enjoy magnificent banquet
spread under the supervision of the
ladies of the church. and to listen to elo-
quent and fraternal speeches.
The company was made up of members
of the church and gentlemen who are
friends of the congregation.
Addresses were made. by Mr.. Andrew
Wilson. OF the Washington bar, on The
Laynan in the Church, by Rev. c. p
city, on Tho Nirginian returning home.
and responses to calls Short talks
were heard from Mr.W. II. Clemmi.t. who
has been identified with this brother
hood continuously since 1872. and from
Rev. J. y. Dearborn. who was for a num-
Der of years pastor of the church.
The address of MI Wilson was full Of
argument for larger work by the lay
man. pointing out how it could prove
most efficient. 1t was couched in the
choicest language and abounded in
classical illusions. It was altogether Z
most charming address

The ladies drew from the gathered
hosts unmeasured and unqualified adj
miration for the beautiful arrangement
of the seven long tables required to seat
the large company, the decorations of
the assembly room, with the almost
numberless plants, beautiful lamps and
elegant display of cut flowers on each of
the tables. Rev. Mr. Morgan presided
with dignity, but with that apparent
nformality tending to make every
guest feel perfectly at home from his
entrance into the room until he left 1t
is quite certain that the memory of this
entertainment will linger in the minds
of those present until the next annual
rolls around, and the congregation can
count on the attendance of all who re-
ceive an invitation.

DR.. CHANDLER ON SUFFRAGE.
First OF Series OF Lectures by Professors q
the College.

The first of the series of lectures by
the professors of Richmond College was
given last night by DR.. J. S. G. Chandler,
of the history and literature chair. His
subject was Suffrage in Virginia." and
from beginning to it's close the doctor
held his auditors interested in this sub
ject.
Dr. Chandler reviewed the early legis-
lative acts during and following Gov
ernor Yeardley's term and developed the
fact that freeholders only We're allowed
a vote, and later under Spootswood, 4
property qualification was i requisite of
suffrage. Special stress was laid on the
Underwood convention which convened
in this city in 1S6I-6S. This convention.
maintained DR.. Chandler, was composed
of q majority of blacks and men not
born in Virginia. He characterized 1T as
a convention Of "carpet-baggerS, SCALA
wags and tricllsters," leagued with the
negro to give to them domination.
The numerous attempts to bring about
a constitutional convention to reform the
suffrage question We're referred to and
the resolution at the Norfolk convention
was read by the lecturer.
Let US said Dr. Chandler. "elimin-
ate the uneducated and worthless negro
vote, but let us not resort to political
knayerv to bring about a constitutional
change
The house was filed and at the close
of the lecture DR.. Chandler was Ore
sented with a large cluster Of carna-
tons. &: token from the young ladies Of
the Woman's College.
The second lecture will be given on
Tuesday night next by DR.. ]. Rufus
Hunter.
