10 NEW 7 OCT, PIANOS nd OABIN KT ORGANS QUE NATIONAL GAME. THE IRREPRESSIBLE CONFLICT RENEWED. "examination, why oatt you. hot iook mho Flvmonth Cbnrchi Bev. ie'nry Ward Beeqher re appeared at Plymouth 'Church yesterday, andin the evening attracted an immense concourse of people.

Hon. Sabuyler Oolfax Speaker of the House of Representatives, was present among the rest. 1 he text wus Matthew 11, 6. Mr Beecher commenced by showing that Christ cams to weaTb is I doctrine that regarded every member of the hurnan race as a child.oi God, that ho regaMed then as Sbeisol one family, oi DfOtheri and slater. OUB BESPONSrDrlilTY, In durown land and time, pressed upon us that demand Christian settlement Kinent Ton this ground and doctrine.

We connot Scape the Responsibility. Being strong and powerful, Xst nurscV and help, and edaoate, and foster those who are weak, aud poor and ignorant. For my own par, he said, I cannot see bow we shall escape the moat conflict of classes by educoted Into this doctrine of dnty on the part of the Opera Among Us. Provost Marshal E. J.

Lowber, of the Opera district, ad his draft at tbe assembly room ot the Aco. demy offaflusio on (Saturday evening. Agreeably jtoan nouncement tbe Opera under Maretzek took its preliminary benefit or starter witb just a sufficiency of gam Cling fo render tbe absence of melody less noticeable The accommodating Lowber only appears on tho stage once a season hence the rush toseohim. Ho drew on Saturday eveniDg a crowd of our solid men, largo of giith ond wide of purse, more than a guanium sufflcit of the waspy waiste tell of lathy wallets, lots ot thoso whose fomilieswould positively oxpire if tho Opara should bo discontinued for a Bingle season, some of the political devotees whom luck, division of office, talent for keeping still or something else, have served ta hoist above their fellows. Weir was there with his son, and the hollow wheel that kept so many from going to the war by vomiting forth names to allow Supervisors to get subBtitutcs for them.

The wbeel was placed on a saw horse supporting stage In It were deposited the numbered slip, and then Mr, Lowber announced the usual announcement that every one bad an equal chance, that each wdl select ns bis name Isealled, etc. In all tho numbers were less than 160. To keep up a Utile military delusion, veteran member of the 14'h Regiment was to turn tho wheel. Jones kept the record. Weir junior dlBplayod tho 11.

bretto of seals, Mr. Lowber made out the checks received the money, ond held tbe helm of responsibility. The first drawn named was that of Mr Greene's, who, overwhelmed with the good fortune attending his venture, hastily chose two seats In a locality wWoU many persons would have avoided, Hon. Daniel P. Barnard then moved tho usual unselfish resolution, that in consideration of tho onergy( self sacrifice, of Mr.

Lowber, he be allowed to select his seats in advance. Carried, and manager Lotvber selected "ibe same aa before." The whole affair occupied about three hours, and tbo younger portion of tho tioket holders carried off all tho choice seats in the balcony and (he parquetto. The Dress Clrclo was only partially touched, but enough seats have been taken to secure a paying 6easou, and place Moretzek out of tho reach of Jupiter I'luvius, or any other evil disposed distinguished character. Ho has the inside traok, snd if he doos not make timo, the opera goers will inBlBts on knowing why. Evidently tho Braoklynltes go for Opera and Empire.

Amusements. The Consebvatoey op Music OpeninqOon cebt. A crowded ond highly fashionable audience, In which was represented very many of our leading families, filled the Atheneum, on Saturday evening, on tho occasion of the first grand concert of tho Biooklyn Con servatoiy of Music, which was, as wo expected it would be, an entire success throughout from tho opening overture to tho closing march. A large mountain of flowers covered tbe grand Steinwoy" piano on tho stage, and each vase on the chandeliers in front of tho family circle contained a handBome bouquet, which not only shed pleasant odors through tbe place, but gave an air of refinement to the entertainment which mado it exceedingly pleasant. The programme was commenced with the performance of the favorite overture to Zimpa" by Herold, which was finely performed, by ono of the best balanced orchestras wo have bad the pleasure of listening to for some time, under tho skilful managemont of Prof.

Groschel, ono of the principal managers of thB Conservatory. Prof. Henry Mollenhauer next ployed 0 fsntasie from Ernani" on tho violoncello, and brought an encoro. A song Der Liobc Schmorz" was next given by Mr. Se9se)berg.

Tbe song was oomposed for Mr. Se8selberg by Halery, the famous composer of tho Jewess" and is admirably adapted to tho display of the depth ond power of Mr. Sesselberg'a vocal organ. A piano solo, consisting of a nocturne by Mason, and a liaise by Gockle, was next played very brilliantly by Frank Gilder, which brought an encore, when ho played an exceedingly lively and attractive polka.

ceD 3 ANN MARIA GOLDER, Adminiatratrli. anUUw6inS them, and give Mr. Depew an opportunity in time of testing jthe acouraoy of the work "of his If party was all that was sought, we might have taken this course, but we preferred to oive Mr. De pew a chance to do justice to Brooklyn, we did not desire the political death of Mr. Depew and his apologists; we had rather that that they be converted and live, on the condition that Brooklyn be placed right before the country.

If Mr. Depew meant fair, when he found that the paople of New York and Brooklyn were grievously disappointed by his censuB, and when they oTered good reasons to prove that it was inaocurate, he would have afforded them nay, would have invited them to test the accuracy of his enumerators in at least one or two wards of both cities. We are inclined to believe that an attempt will be made to temper the indignation of the people of this city by adding to the aggregate result of the census, through these real or pretended withheld returns, We have no means of testing the truth of the statement that returns are still withheld. No list of the enumerators was ever furnished to the County Clerk. In two instances in the Eleventh Ward the enumerators appointed, we are assured, paid no attention whatever to the work, not desiring to perform it for the compensation allowed.

No doubt the same is true of other words. We presume that, in consequence of the exposure of the census swindle in these columns, some slight addition will ultimately be made to the popular tion as returned by the enumerators. The brazen effronte ry practised in New York, oannot safely be initiated in the case of Brooklyn. An attempt, we presume, will be made to excuse the fraud on the same ground as that advanced by the girl who was accused of adding to the population unlawf ully, and who excused herself on the plea that the illegitimate wan was a very little one. The Ieeepeessible Conflict in Full Blast.

Those who supposed that by the abo lition of slavery they could spike the guns of the agitators of this section, may judge of the success of the experiment from two addresses which we publish in another column of to day's issue. The negro, it will be seen, still figures in Plymouth Church as large as life. Mr. Beecher labors to convince the colored folks that they are still exposed to terrible grievances, and a colored maiden who "preached" in another section of the city, threatened an insurrection in case a remedy was not at once provided. Possibly, the white men of America are willing to be kept in per peturl hot water by "colored but after four years of strife and carnage, it is hardly asking too much to give us at least a breathing spell.

Even the Plymouth congregation ought to be able to dispense with agitation in the apparent interest of the negro, if only for the novelty of the thing. The Eepublican journals are endeavoring to make out their candidate for Secretary of State to be a great military chieftan. The effort is made too late. When General Barlow's name was mentioned in the Convention, Mr. Spencer, a delegate frt New York inquired "General Barlow who is General Barlow?" We have no desire to say aught against the Eepublican candidate, but we are satisfied the public never heard of either the genius or heroism attributed to him until after his nomination.

Whoever heard of anybody asking "Who is General Slocum The truth is Generals are scarce on the Eepublican side in this State, and the convention had to take the best it could get, its range of selection being very limited. Poob Oomtobt. Tne local Republican organs are disgusted with the apparent determination of the Democrats of this county to unite their heretofore divided columns and secure the victory which can be so easily won. The Eastern District Eepublican organ is very much troubled indeed. "A certain clique of "politicians," it says, "have uuitsd, burying "antagonistic hatchets and forgetting scalps "taken of yore, and have managed to "obtain control of the three Demo "cratio organizations." Pity, isn't it? The atrocious object these fellows have in view, says the Eepublican organ, "of course "is to secure the unity of the party, or at least 'to prevent more than one ticket being presented to the Democratic electors." This is precisely the purpose, and we congratulate all whom it may concern on its success.

The Eepublican organ is entitled to sympathy in its evident affliction. Spooner the Commissioner of Jurors (by the charity of a partisan legislature) is squeel wg like a rat from the effects of a single edi torial shot in these columns. If the game was worth the powder, we would treat him as the English did the Hindoos tie him to the muzzle of an editorial gun, and after the discharge there would be nothing left of him but a heap of (atlered rags and a little offal. By and by we hope to get the whole clique of "mutual admirationists" in line arjil it may pay to take a pop at them. One ftrack is enough for Spooner; to staike him now that he is down would fairly expstn us to an indictment of ciuelty to animals.

News Items The Alabama State Convention passed an ordinance on Friday last, recoojnasing the abolishment of slavery, and another wastatvodnccd onabliog negroes to hold property and testify i oowff, The propeller Oceanus running between New York and Providence, collided In the Sound on Saturday morning, with the sloop Jaoob Duryea. The latter immediately sunk, and Kirs. Sarah Davis, of Fort Jefferson, and her two children were drowned. From Central America we learn that Alexander R. McEce, U.

S. Consul at Panama, died on the 3d or chronic dysentery. General a liberal man, and foimerly President of the republic of Salvador had been tried and shot by the present authorities of that country as a "military necessity." From South America the news is unimportant. The Chilian Congress had decided against the proposed amendment of the Constitution, granting religious freedom. The Atlantic Base Ball Club of this city have arrived at Boston.

To day they play the Lowell Club; to morrow the Tri llonte Club, and on Wednesday the Harvard College boys propose to try the ohampions. All these matches will be played on BoBton Common. Our special reporter gives, in another column, an account ot the trip to Boston, the handsome reception of the champions there, The caBe for the proseoution was informally closed in the Wire trial on Saturday. The prisoner's counsel wished a week's time to prepare his defence, on account of ill health and other but was only granted until to morrow, until which time the Court adjourned. Ceorge W.

Beach, the actor at Wood's Theatre, Cincinnati, who was shot by hla wife on Tuesday last, is living and slowly recovering. Mrs. Beach had a partial domination before the Police Court, and was held in $9,000 hail for future examination. She is charged with assault with intent to commit murder, 8ho is still in custody, and now seems quite melancholy. Beach has made a statement charging her with gross infidelity to him.

To day the trades societies of this State meet in Albany. Tho leading questions to te acted upon are tbo limitations of the hours of labor from 10 to 8 hoars; devising some plan for restricting convicts from competing with blanches of industry Ipursued by other mechanics; regulating the existing custom with regard to apprenticeships, so as to make every apprentice serve a full term of apprenticeship before they are permitted to work as journeymen. In answer to the charge that the large mortality among tho negro population South is caused by brutal treatment, the Louisville Journal siys: That there has been frightful mortality among negroes in the South we know. Ever many acquainted with tho South knows ii It Is greater among them than it was before they were set free, and we have not a doubt that it will continue to be greater, for a while at least. The utmost exertions of the freedmen'a bureau and all the philanthropy of the country will not be able to prevent It.

This Increased mortality Is incident to the change that has taken place in the negroe's status. Those who did not anticipate this only betray their Ignorance of tho nature of the negro. He cannot Bear'' under difficulties and changes like the, white man. When at home with regular employment, food, and hours, he moved along and kept well; but all this has been changed, and the irregularities to which he has been subjected cause him to sicken and die. This change is now fixed and unalterable.

We must accept It and do the best we oan. For awhile, the negroi The Southern people oannot if they wonla help Jt is inevitable.

24. The ohampions left Brooklyn tor their tour to BoBton, Saturday afternoon at 2 o'clock, via Fall River Lino of Steamers, and embarked on the steamer Metropolis Irom foot of Murray street at 5 o'clock. The sail was a very agreeable and pleasant one; a very large number of persons being on board. The nine players were Peareo, short stop; Pratt, pitcher; Start, 1st base; Crane, 3d base; Galviu, 2d base; Norton, catcher; Chapman, O'Brien and Sid. Smith, fielders.

They were ac companied by Messrs. Judge Cornweil and Bon, James GidoingB, Gafiney, Rogers, Thomas, Coupe, Judge WiL Hams, tbe Eagle reporter and others, The evening was Bgrceably passed in tho saloon of the steamer, songs from Messrs. O'Brlon, Crane, Pearce, Chapman abd whistling by Messrs. Crane and Chapman, which formed quite a conoert in tho foreword BBlonn, attended and enjoyed by a large number of the passengers. At a seasonable hour tbo boys "turned In," and rested in their state rooms, until about 4 o'clock when tbe "gong" aroused them from their slumbers, and announced tho timo for a change of base.

The cars were soon reached, and after about three hours' ride, the party arrived safe and Bound in the "Hub of the Universe." A FEHSB SELL occurred on the boat, which caused considerable fan for the eotire list ot passengers who were acquainted wltu the facts. One of the nine is a capital imitator of the serenade fantasias perionned by the cat Bpeoies, and iu the couise cf the evening he let forth his full scope of imitation in thiB respect. It being about bed timo, of course, all were startled by the concert, and one of the boyB requested an attache to remove the onroged cat, supposed to be hidden somewhere. Broom in hand, the "coiorea missun ruuueu iu tuu Hb4io ruom uuu com menced poking luriously, with true Ethiopian braveness, under the berths, when the Bound of the purrer was beard in tho distance; then Sambo rushed after tho poor animal all around the saloon, but sti'l could not 'see it Those who were in the "ring" knew the perpetrator of the joke was a good "Chap," and enjoyed the inn amazingly. ABBTYTHG IN BOSTON tho Atlantics were met by Messrs.

ATiller, Joslyn aud others of tbe Lowell Club, and wore escorted to the Bromfleld House, kept by Mr. S. Crockett, where thoy found an excellent house, kept in good style, with fine table. Here the comfort of the guests was studied to the fullest extent, and nothing was left undone to make it like home. Rooms close together were furnished, up but one flight of stairs, in clean, tidy and nicely furnished rooms.

Mr. Crockott certainly understands how to keep a first class hotel, and when Ball clubs visit Boston, tbey should by all means give him the preference. BreakfaBt over, the "LawellB" esoorted the visitors across tbe bridge to Bunker Hill Monument, where we Btood upon the spot that now marks the memorable battle ot tho Revolution. The early struggle of the colonies were brought vividly to view, and the whole point of the result was pictured in an anecdote related by John A. Lowell, as follows: An KDglishman recently visited the apot, aud remarked, "This is tbo spot where wirhoBid you up ono hill and down the other, is it not?" The Yankee was quick in his repartee, and responded, "Yes but the.

great question is, who holds it now?" Thie wsbo Btumper. Leaving hero, we had an outsldo view of tho Navy Yard, Chelsea Hospital, the State House, Reservoir, and returned to dinner, At two o'clock sail down tho river gave a full view ot the harbor, Fort Independence, the Farm School, ond stopping ot Hull, returning to supper. Tour cojrespondent accepted a pressing invitation to dino with Mr. Lowell and spent a very pleasant afternoon with himself and his estimable lady and family. In tho evening Musical Hall was visited, where tbe great organ was played in a spleudid manner, a choice seluotion of muaio being offered.

The Lowell's havo been unremitting in their attentions thus far, and aro aa gentle mansy a set of young tellows as can beolten seen, Monday at half past one o'olock, the game with the Lowell club comes oil on tho Boston Common, aud iu the evening the great fair is to be visited, etc. OIHEn MOVEMENTS. Tuesday, the Trl Monte club take charge of the Cham ions, tben, after the game, tbey are to escort tbo boys to the Boston Theatre to see Mr. and Mrs. Chas.

Kean, in their celebrated performances. The "sun has not crossed tbe line," since our orrival, aud tho appearances ol storm have almost entirely disappeared. There IB considerable excitement iu Boston on account of tho forthcoming games, and large crowds are expected to be present. Tbe Atlantics aro in most excellent trim, and ore thus far admired for their gentlemanly demeanor, and quiet habits. Suoh behavior is certainly very oroditablo and well worthy of special mention Everything thus far augurB well for a fine tour ofpleasure as well os ball skill.

8. P. S. It is doubtful if a game is played with tbo Harvard boys, aud if such be tbe case, agame will be played on Wednesday with the Hollistown Club or Boston Club, or the AtiantlcB will go to Horttord. Will leS you know the result.

8. MASONRY. The Fraternity from a Religions Stand point Sermon by ttcv. jrciiahn Suuds. By invitation of the memhers of Long Island Lodge No.

882 F. snd A. NasBau Lodge No. 636 F. and A.

M. and various others, the Rev. Ellsha Sands, las', evening preached a sermon on Masonry, as viewed from a rel'gious standpoint, at the Warren Street M. Church. There was a numerous congregation, made up for tbe most part of members of tho fraternity.

The Rev gentleman took his text from the Book of Isaiab, xxxii, chapter und n. verse" Aud a man shall bo os an biding place from the wind and a covert from the tempest; as rivers of water iu a dry place, as the shadow of a groat rook in a weary There never was an institution of benevolence and philanthropy in tho history of the world to which objections have not been made. Tho secrets of Masonry aro unknown to thoBe not connected with it, and those who are ignorant of its mysteries object to it, and think that no good can be derived from thiB craft, tho Beoret workings of which are not rovealed to oil. An old coat pre sents outwardly a worn appearance, but when turned tho oloth Is new. And so it is that many an institution, the object ond good deeds of which are, unknown, appear to exact no interest, but when oil aro made fully acquainted with it, thoy see its benefits and aid it in its glorious course.

It canuot be expecfed that Free Masonry is void of yet today it stands magnificent stiuclure, aiding the afflicted and making itself moro than evor glorious. Why should this objection be mude to it, in consequence of its secrecy If it is excellent In itself, if it is essential, why then should this bo bo Hidden uuder the crags, and along ibe aid. of tbe streams, abides tho serpout, with bis sides adorned with brilliant stripes, but which possesses a deadly sting. If the craft was similar to this, secrtoy covering it's evil doings, why then let it be exposed and abolished, But it is not so. Tear off the vail, reveal it's real choracter, and It stanflB forth tronB it's charms (The reverood gehtleman wai here inttnupted by several persons who hastily left the bi dy of tbe church, evidently not oiifled by Mr.

Sands, ten aiks, aid made considerable noise In their exit) The reverend gintleinau continued If it was a compact to overthrow goodness if wo had to traitors to truth and virtue, to attain to its oxcelleuco, then it might be deprecated. But when we consider that it is secrecy means nothing evil, when wo beholdits order and beauty, each of the brothers a supporting oluian, agreeing iu the moat perfect harmony, we Ore led to proclaim its matcbloasnees. It baa been said that the members ol a lodjo are actuated by motives of selfishness aud gain, but uecd it bo said, that thai is entirely false? In truth, it may bs that some for bise motives join it, but in bis real character a mason Ib a wido world philanthropist. It ia objected that the church and state open wide their doors to those ot all ages and texts, end not so with masonty; Masonry excludes females, children and youth, and at first this appears formidable; but requites only a moment's consideration to show the fallacy of tho objection. There mey bo certain which arise from secresy, and yet have not women and youth been blessed by its be nevolence.

Ask the eighteen thousand widows and or nbans. who are fed. clothed, and made comfortable bv 1 tho brotbers of the fraternity. If they walk Into their midst, nun symoois ot au ainas, wny snan tney oojeoc when they ore supported and blessings bestowed upon them. Let a person" walk iu the light ot tbe sun, tboueb he may not be able to analyze it, he la content to walk the eartb without knowing lis secrete, as it blesses the earth with its light.

CosaparisonB have been drown between the church and masonry. This is not fair, which is compating it to disparage It. As to tbe aid given by it, sayB one, "if I cannot proonre aid outside of this, by serving God, I'll suffer, thinking ltGod's will, and He alono cares for us." Just so with tho life insurance. Another says, when asked to insure his life, thereby being enabled to give Bupport to his wife and children when dead: "No, if they can't be token care of by God, why let them suffer." Is there any force in thiB answer It is needless to an ewer If masonry has then such a glorious purpose, why, then, should it not be believed in? Also bas it been said that the church reaches down and takes in hand the wicked, poor and (afflicted, to purify and save tbem. This we don't deny.

Likewise does Masonry reach out, though secretly, and assist all, both the rich and. poor. The idea that it benefits only tbe aristocratic, is denied in history, and any men with open eyes may also see it contradicted. This institution spends thousands of dollars, and for what purpoBe To help those who are unable to help themselves. Suppose that there ate Masons whoare unrighteous, and profess to be no Christians, can tbey not do good? People, think that a man cannot do good until be iB a Christian; must we say so? It might as well be Boid that tbe wild flower cannot bloom as a cultivated ono.

Is there any sense in this No. As to the matter of seoresy, Christianity itself is secret It is the secret of the Lord to those, who tear Bim. There have been men who have dishonorod tbe craft, but It Is so in the church We need organizolions for charity, having that as their purpose, In sooiety. Woe to the state of society which leaves one of its members to tbe charity of private citizens. Mr.

Sands read a letter from a wife in tbe central part of New York, to her husband who was in the army. It was dated while the Rebellion was at its height, when the husband, who bad received no pay for several months, was unable to remit any to his suffering wife. It told a Bad story of wont, and how two of the children were compelled to be sent to tbe almshouse. Mr. Sands, resuming That man, though be might be a Christian, had a wife who was Buffering at home.

Had he been a Mason, it would never have been so. If Masonry was a political institution, if it tended to prevent tbe ends of justice; then might it be deprecated and objeoted to. When we iook upon its symbols, we see its principles, which are in harmony when active with the world, and divine Providence. it has not OhriB tianity, baa it not the spirit, and does it not bear it like ness The itstitution bos borne its banner side by side with tbe Stars and Strlpsa as far North as (he foot, of man has trodden, and thus its continues onward, bojtowlng ua blessings, and performing it glorious and benevolent deeds, Mr. Sands here concluded hii sermon with a fow remarks, It was listened to throughout, with the above exceptunvwith great interest by the congregation.

THE NEGRO MUST HAVE THE BALLOT; THREATS IN CASE OF REFUSAL.

UNIVERSAL SUFFRAGE ADVOCATED IN PLYMOUTH CHURCH. The Negro and his Bight to Tote the Great Question of the Day. A young lady of color, Miss Kichmonia R. St. Pierre by name, related some of her adventures and experiences, last evening in the Afrionn M.

E. Church Bridge street near Myrtle aveuue. MIbs St, Pierre has been in the secret service of the government; an announcement sufficient to account for the dense crowd which filled the church and assembled round the entrance to it unable to find admission. Close packed, they were, ioBidc, sitting or standing wherever a foot of spaie could be found, whitea, yellows) blacks, the number of the latter largely predominating. About eight o'clock, Miss St.

Pierre, accompanied by Professor Dowaid Day, entered tho church and took a seat on the platform beside the pastor, Key. J. M. Wil liamB. She Is a good looking young woman of six and twenty, in height and general appearance strongly resembling Miss Anna Dickinson.

They might, indeed, bo easily mlstakon for twin sisters. Miss Kichmonia possesses a good deal of Anna's fire and vim, but lacks entirely her cultivation and polish. Proceedings were opened with singing and prayer. The heat became intense almost suffocating Some confusion arose in the negro crowd standing at one of the entrance doors; in the raidBt of the jam sev erol white ladles could be seen applying their elbows right snd leit. Rev.

J. M. Williams arose and said: I hope that people will Bit as close as they can in order to make as much room as possible. There was a general packing up tighter, and the female whites obtained seats, wedged dimly in between some lusty specimens of male blacks. Professor William Howard Day introduced Miss St.

Pierre to the audience, comparing her to Florence Nightingale, and saying that sho had been a power for good while in Richmond. She came with letters of recommendation from Generals Terry, Ord and Roberts, the one irom the latter of which ho had in his hand and read. Miss St. Pierro then came forward and said that she was about to toll a few plain faots, and to show them how many changes a young and unprotected female might have to go through. She was bora in Virginia in which Slate she remained until seven years of age.

Her skin at that time was as white as that of any of those before her. She was then told she was destined for a missionary's life in Africa and osme North to be educated for that purpose. Of her parents Bbo know and knows nothing, and at the present timo is quite alone in the world. Her course of oducation lasted during a period of eight years. In December, 1S54, she sailed from New York, by the bark Lamartine for Liberia, where she remained Bix years actively ongaged in educational and missionary work.

Upon her return to the United Status, Bhe went south and lived iu the Confederacy four yearo In the guise of a Blave. Northerners may read of Southern slavery, but they do not, oannot know what it is. The law of that period forbade a colored person walking Id the street without a written permission from those called their owners; and more than five were not permitted on any account to assemble together. At that time Bhe, who bad breathed the air of lreedom, was nearly in despair and tumoBt prayed to die. For two years she Baw the progress of the Confederacy with almost a broken heart.

ven the females did all they could tor its success; and yet in Richmond there were females who have been more hue to the Union than the men. After McOleilan's seven days fight, the Southerners took pains to bring their own wounded into Richmond with all possible despatch, and at the expiration ot a week they brought fn the wounded Unionists; they brought them in on common wagons and pitched them on the sidewalks. They did that for three successive days. (Groaus They brought them in and threw them down. This she had seen (groanB) with her own eyes.

(Groans.) Ifaperson were to speak to these prisoners or to hand them a glass of water, it was CaBtle Thunder for them. One of two Union women in Richmond was a dolicato Southern ladv, iicb, well known in the Confederacy, and who resided in a splendid white mansion in that city. This ladv diBeuieed herself as a beggar and visited these prisoners in company with the speaker. "Why, cousin John," they would say, addressing one of the prisoners, tuo uuuieueiTUU guuiu juublulj uxj metuivviiiio, ui truj, Mr. So and So, how came you to got in the Union army I am ashamed of you The rest was easy, lor she, the speaker, novor knew a Yankee yet that could not take a bint, (Laughter and applause.

The guard crumbled somewhat but the speaker being only a beggar all passed off to their entire satisfaction. Miss St, Pierre then gave a description of BelleiBle, but without stating any new fact in connection with that prison. In spite of rebBl vlgtlanco a few faithful ones used to meet night alter night in a certain beautiful white dwelling, and irom thete did Butler and Grant obtain Information which they desired, She pave an 'account oi the escape of Colonel Streight and otheis from Libby prison, by means of a tunnel which they dug, and of the appearance tho night but one after that event oi six men. Yankee prisoners in appearance, before the white mansion aforesaid, who Bald they wanted refuge, as they understood that tho ladies resident there were good Unionists. "No, no," said the lady ot thohouse, "noUnionists here." Little did they kuow that underneath that disguise they were known to be rebel detectives and that the true piisoners were free and beyond their reach.

The doings of this lady of the white house troubled Jeff Davis and bis colleagues terribly. She was suspected ol being a spy, bnt was left unharmed, as no proof could be found against her. The speaker then gave an account of her escape from Richmond and arrival at Norfolk, where she commenced educational operations among the freed people under the auspices of the New England Freedmen's Aid Society. After the fall cf Richmond the American Misslonery Society made the nist'move towards the establishment of freed schools in that city. Miss 8t.

Pierro returned to Richmond On her arrival there she was sent for by the Provost Marshal and gave a good deal of Information on certain subject) which government wanted to possess. Thus she was taken into tho coafldenoe of the government, while by tho New Bogland ffrecdmon's Aid Society, she was not treated with anything like the proper consideration, which was owing sho supposed, to her color being a little darker than their 's. She complained bitterly ot this, and then went off at a tangent and pitched into General Patrick, at that time commanding in Richmond, for the following reason: A rebel walking in ono of tho streets of the city, pushed against and rudely inBulted a colored man's wife. The colored man resented the affront and planted a shawer of blcws on the person ol the rude rebel. Three or four men 61 the 24th MassnchuBetta came up at the time and arrested the colored man.

Next morning, said Miss St. Pierre, be was taken before Patrick and ordered to be shot. To instil a lesson in the miuds of the colored people, Patiick ordered a coffin to be made, which was exhibited on the corner of one of the worst secesh streets in Rlchmomd, and into this the poor black husband was put, covered with molasseB and flour, and she wanted It to bo remembered that the flies at tint time were very numerous and annoying. What white man, that was a man, would order anything like that to be done? (Colored man at Reporter's elbow: Nobody but an Irishman would do The stuff was put on him to attract the flies. News of what had happened went to the White House at Washington, and President Johnson for once was lenient In the right place and revoked the sentence Patrick had passed upon bim.

Miss St. Pierre next related some of her experiences in school teaching in Richmond, her establishment of discipline therein first and teaching the little blacks bow to read, afterwards. While engaged In this work a government ambulance was placed at her disposal from 7 A. M. to 6 P.

M. In oonoluding she advised all those who could to go South as missionaries among the freed people; not to talk sympathy so much, but to do something for their colored brethren and sisters. While talking about that there was one thing she mnst mention The bayonet has been put ia the hands of the negro; another thing yet remains to be done he must have tbe ballot. She was half afraid that Northern Abolitionists would do nothing more than talk, and that the colored raoo would not obtain justice. She had had a deal to put with in tbe North.

Why, if a colored man or woman calls at the houses of these same Abolitionists, they are "not at home" to thorn. Justice must be done to our race. Do us justice, she Bald in conclusion, almost unintelligible in the excitement into which she had worked herself, do us justice, or I say, "Look out, look out I else an insurrection woibo than anything that has yet taken place will be the result." After a few more words she sat down. Professor Howard Day came forward and said that a tho trial of Wfrz, late keeper of the Andersonville pri. son, was attracting much attention, would Miss St" Pierre Inform the congregation if she knew whether Jefferson Davis and the Confederate government were cognizant of the' horrible treatment of pur Union prisoner at Andersonville Miss St Pierre answered emphatically, She had beard expressions fall from the lips of Jefferson Davis which entirely condemned bim.

And not only be, but Memtninger and Stephens, and General Lee, too, know all about it. She advised government not to be so long about trying these men, as they get delicate during the operation, and reclined in Court ou sofas; and hive to be fanned and other attentions paid to them. She wanWd the work niade short and sure. These athulona to the dying condition of Captain Vfin were.reoeived aylthjaugbter and applanse. Altera boilectlon hid beeB taken up to enable Mutt Si Pierre to continue, her work': In the South, when her health shall have become sufficiently re established, toe meeting epersed.

MONDAY EVENING, SEPT. 35. This Paper has me Largest Circulation any Evening Paper published in the United States. Its valne as an Advertising Medinm, is therefore apparent. Will he Brookljn Censui Fraud be Persisted In 1 Some five or six weeks ago we published in these columns an abstract of the returns of the census enumerators of this county, as received in the County Clerk's office.

The aggregate result seemed to show that the population of Brooklyn had remained stationary during five years, or, more strictly speaking, that the population of Brooklyn, as returned by the State census in 1865, was not greater tnan the population returned by the United States census taken in 1860 in other words, that Brooklyn had not increased in population within five years, while the number of houses in the city had actually, decreased This re sult was on its face so preposterous that there was no difference of opinion in denouncing the census as either a blunder or a fraud. That the population of the city had vastly in creased within five years, was apparent from the increased wealth of the city in the real and personal property of its citizens; in the increase of the vote of the city, from about thirty thousand to forty flvo thousand; in the addition to the number of dwelling houses; in the crowded state of our thoroughfares; in the increase of travel on the ferries and street rail roads; in the ever widening area of the city; in the difficulty experienced, notwithstandini the increased number of dwellings ereoted, in seonrinff houses or parts of houses. There would have been no difference of opinion whatever in resenting the manifest injustice done to Brooklyn in parading the fact to the world that its population was at a stand still, if it were not for the tact that the business of taking the census was under the control of a Eepublican State officer. The party journals came to the rescue of their representative, and under one pretext or another attempted to justify him by maintaining the accuracy of a census is on its face ridiculous. New York, like Brooklyn, has evidently largely increased in population within the past five years.

Every fact which we have adduced in support of otir position that the number of people in Brooklyn is vastly greater than it was five years ago, is equally applicable to New York. In New York attention was first called to the subject. There the Eepublican journals defended the Secretary of State on various grounds. The Evening Post held that the population of New York had overflowed its limits, and that the increase of the past five years was counterbalanced by the number of people who, while doing business in New York, had removed their residences to Brooklyn and Jersey City. In these cities, the Post held, the real increase of the population of the Metropolitan district must be looked for.

The Tribune did not go so far as to contend that the population of New York had not increased. It contented itself with impeaching the accuracy of the census taken in 1860, under the authority of the United Status, but it was unable to produce a single fact in support of its unfounded assertion. The partisan journals on this side of the river filched from our columns the census returns made up from the offioial figures in the County Clerk's office, and for a day or two joined with the Eagle in denouncing the oen iras ns either a blunder or a fraud. As soon as they got the cue" from the Metropolitan organs that the interests of "the pnrts" required that me iicicuracj uf the census should be insisted upon they changed their tone, and attributed to the Eagle partisan motives in denouncing a manifest and injurious fraud upon our rapidly growing city. This subject comes home to every property owner in Brooklyn.

No capitalist desires to invest in real estate within the limits of a city whicn has apparently reached its maturity. The vacant lots in the outer wards of the city are valuable mainly because the necessities of our population require that they be very soon used lor Mmoing purposes, a real estate owner in the Eighth Ward, for instance, when desiring to sell, offers as the chief in. ducement to the intended purchaser that the city is rapidly growing and that the land, instead of being retained for agricultural purposes, as much of it still is, will very soon be built upon and laid out in stately streets and avenues. If the census shows that the population of the city is not increasing there is no inducement to the capitalist to invest his money. No higher compliment can be paid to the party with which the Eagle is generally accredited with acting, than that it is the interest of that party to uphold the pride and dignity of the city to maintain for it its character as one of the most rapidly growing and prosperous cities in the Union.

We have shown by comparison with official statistics that the census returns now in the hands of the County Clerk are worse than useless. The figures are either fradulent or in rorreet. Their publication in official form will be a grave injury to the reputation of the city Onr partisan cotemporaries contend indeed that the figures published in the Eagle, and taken from the official records, are not correct. Doubtless in the preparation of the tables for the Eagle some inaccuracies occurred, but not sufficient to affect the general result. The fact remains that the returns in the County Clerk's office up to this day go to show that the population of the city is substantially what it was five years ago.

If any material error has been made by us we shall be most happy to be set right. Instead of bellowing about the inaccuracy of our figures, why do not the defenders of Mr. Depew give us what they claim to be the correct returns Again it is claimod that all the returns had not been received by the County Clerk at the time the figures were prepared for the Eagle. So far as the County Clerk knew they had all been received. Under the law the returns ought to have been in the hands of the County Clerk by the first Monday in July.

We were assuredly justifiedin assuming that the returns were all in by August the time they were copied by us. Six weeks time have since elapsed, and but one or two returns have been received in addition to those we have published. Are we justified in assuming that the returns are now complete 1 If not, what assurance have we that they will ever be But it is asked why did not the Eagle wait until Mr. Depew announced the offioial result? One reason is that the Eaole is a newspaper, and cannot afford to wait for the tardy action of Offioials, when it can do for itself what officials do for dead and alivo County journals. Doubtless the official minutes of our public bodies are more carefully prepared than the accounts of the acts of these Bodies promptly prepared by our reporters.

A. rural journal can afford to wait, neither the Eagle nor its readers' can. It was eminently proper that the results of Mr. Depew's Census should be. placed before the public at the earliest moment, so that if complaint was made, it should bo made in time to be examined into.

If we had taken no notice of the Census of Brooklyn until Mr. Depew could have published it, half a year or more from this timeiatid'if then fault was found, we would have been met With the questions "Why didi you. not Investigate the subject before "The returns were in the County Clerk's office, for public nhvsical likeness is no more absurd than this.

For a hundred yeara millions of men have suffered every mjury. tost can be inflicted on man, on the uround i their inferiority, as if men's rights were grounded on power. They have not been their nunbood, nor their civil rights, nor could they hold Dronerty, nor enjoy the privileges of a citizen, on tha uround ol their inferiority. Their social relations and family ties were abolished, their God inspiring feelings crushed, their portal of knowledgo sealed on the ground of their infirmity. Nothing else.

And on this doctrlue, 1U down by Christ for apostles and disciples, aye, for himselfeven, we as a nation hove stood ordaining cruelty by law. American slavery is tbe most accursed of all. It fwas 'a mostinfamous crime. It was taught, not that the superior must help the inferior, but that the inferior must serve the superior. It waa taught in the pulpit and administered like doses of ippecao in the newspapers.

To lite Editor of the BrooHyn Eagle: In your issue of yesterday, entitled "Justice Hoodwinked," you BBked lor on explanation from me lor granting an adjournment of sixty data iu the case of People against Nathan. Without first discussing your rlpnt to call on me, or any justice, for any explanation' of bis official acts, I will ranlv that did vou first learn fads, before proceeding to BHbject me to tbe 'damaging comment" you tpeax ot, you wouia save yoursen tno trouble ol calling lor, and me, tne annoyance or giving an explanation. When Mr. Nathan learned that a warrant was out for bis arrest, he came voluntarily to Court to an examination, but the prosecution sot being ready, the case was adjourned, for the purpose of notrfying the complainant to appear and give his testimony. Mr.

Nathan objected to an adjournment, unless lor one month, as matters of very gieat importance required bis immediate presence in one of the Western States, and as George Bitterly was also there, and was an important witness in his defence, and could'not be got here within that time. Tbe case was, therefore, adjourned, and on Wednesday last came up again. Nathan was again in Court, having travelled night and day since Sunday, to be here for his examination. The prosecution were also ready, bnt I was not, for being supcenaed to attend as a witness before the City Court that day, I was compelled to adjourn tbe case. Mr.

Nathan stated that be desired tho attendance of Mr. Bitterly sb a witness, who was still in the West, but rather than be further delayed, he desired the examination that day, or an adjournment for sixty days to nable him to statt that night for St, Loals and transact important matters there, and return again with Ur. Bitterly bis witness. Being satisfied with tbe truth of his statements, and tho prosecution consenting, this adjournment was finally ordered by me, these adjournments been publidy made and the reatont therefor publicly given. If these reasons were not Satisfactory to the writer of tho article referred to, tbey were to me, and when the public placed him upon the bench, bis opinions will be necessarily consulted and until then tbe public, and myself in particular, have an interest in seeing that the acta of its officers are not belied, and made.
