greatly enjoyed the first perf ormance ot Birch,

Too featnree of the programme were novel
and specially enjoyable. First, the eccentric
dancing of Messrs. Johnson and Powers. Those
in the audien- e who dreaded to see the u.*>ial
stupid clog dance, with song, were agreeably
surprised at the agility and humor of those Ma
jilt on* m burnt cork. Second, the genuine fun
of Bachus. rollicking without coarseness. His
imitations of leading actors, including .Joe Jet
fer*on as ?>Kip" and Maggie Mitchell a* ?? Fun
ction," were very mirth-provoking, as was hi*
capital imitation of the piece *poken by the
tongue-tied infant phenomenon. Birch was
very droll. Ricardo was good as n*ual and ably
sspiwted by Wambold. other features of the
performance were about np to the average. No
one shculd fail to see ttU really excellent com
pany.

MtcrMro* st Taa baptist social enow.
At ft meeting of the Baptist Social Union last
night. Bt tbe uth street Bftptiat charch, the
?l?e?tk>n, " Should church property be exempt
rom taxation?" ww discussed. The chair.
Mr. .1. H. Patrick, announced the subject, and
referred to the principles of thftir lenomina*
tic>B. among which wfta " soul libert*" and the
separation of rhurcb ftnd srate, and closed by
suggesting the point whether, as the Baptists
believe in ft total separation of charch and
state, it was proper to accept ft gratuity from
the Ktfttt in the forai of the exemption of church
property from taxation.
Prof. Mason tbonght the charch has no right
to subsidies from the st*te. The Acquisition of
wealth by the charch was contrary to the spirit
of Christ. We shonld "render unto C:?-sar that
which was Ca-sar's, ftnd ta Ood that which w??
God's." The BftptUt charch shAuld never sfty
to the outside, "Come join cs, aad we shall
bftve ftll church property t?xed." We should
?Ire op the pennies of Ciesar, ?nd suffer any
loss rather than hare our bands tied by the
ratronsge of the state. This was the spirit of
Roger Williams.
Hon J. M. S. Williams, of Mftss., remarked
that Harvard College had more than ft million
of property not taxed, and the question in Mas
sftc hnsetts w?? discussed both in ft collegiate ftnd
religious view. He thought the government
should not tax charch property which benefit
ted so many people. It was better to hare any
religion than none at ftll. ftnd be favored the ex
emption of tbe Mormon charch from taxfttlon.
Salt I.ftke City was tbe most mors.) ctty in the
world, which wfts due to the restraining influ
ence of their religion. In the West, wherever
a lot was wanted for ft charch it was donated.
As ft Baptist, he hftd subscribed for ? lot far
the purpose of erecting a Congregational
church. Any of the rftilroad companies would
will.ugly grant lots for churches or school
bouses. The church and the school improved
the community; ftnd this was the principle that
underlaid and justified exemption of church
property from taxation. In Iowa the liberality
of the state in establishing churches and schools
hid b?en chit fly instrumental in promoting tbe
prosperity of tbe state
Mr. Z. Richards was In favor of the exemption
of church property from taxes, because such
property increased the vftlue of surrounding
property. Tbe people thus benefitted should be
willing to pay the taxes. There waf one denomU
nation?the Catholic?thftt was largely investing
It property in this city, and,in view of these ex
tensive acquisitions, tie thought the exemptions
were unequal and unjust. He thought gorgeous
churches a curse, and if church property was
taxed according to its value the churches would
be bntlt in accordance with the spirit of the
gospel.
Rev. Mr. Nelson said that charch property
should be tftxed like ftll oth4r property; no man
shoold be taxed to support religion, it should be
in all cases sui-ported by voluntary contribu
tions.
Dr. Ray, late United States consul at Valpa
raiso, referred to one of his leotuies in Europe
on civil and religious liberty, wherein he al
luded to the vast amount of church property
exempt from taxation in this country, and then
proceeded to assail tbe Catholic church in
Europe.
I?r. Cuthbert said it was very pleasant to re
cti ve a kindness, and he would be very glad if
the Board of Public Works would repair the
alleyway near his church. Bat he claimed that
the exemption of charch propertv was not in
accordance with Baptist principles. These
favors, like the shirt of Nessus, though pleasant,
would prove poisonous.
Mr. J. C. Lewis thought we should pay taxes
npon npon church property above a certain
-valuation. If the Board of Public Works
chose to improve an alley that benefited
church property, he should have no scruple
about it. Schools and churches should be tax'3d
in proportion to their value
Mr. King claimed that the exemption law
operated unjustly. He woa!d not advocate an
unjust principle because it operated against the
Catholics. He knew many Catholics and re
spected them, but be had lio sympathy for their
religion. They were baying up property large
ly. The speaker referred to the wealthy con
gregation of Trinity church. Sew York, anJ
saw no good reason why they should not be
taxed. The strength of a church consisted not
in wealth. The Baptists were stronger years
ago than thev are now. Show anl extrava
gance in building fiue churches were doing
great harm. The speaker was glad to see, how.
ever, that though there were gentlemen of
wealth in this congregation, they worshipp^
in a modest church.

In the case of Cook agt. the New National
Era and Citizen Publishing Company, (hereto
fore noticed in The Star,) Messrs. W. E.
Augnsta and George D. Johnson have filed
tbeir ai'Mavitp in In'half of the complainant.
Thev State that at the preliminary interviews
between Greener, complainant, and the Doug
lass brothers there were several parties present;
that at no interview was any agreement made
with an inducement held out to the Douglass
brothers tbat the patronage of the Freedmen's
Bank to the amount of *30,000 cou'd be secured
or controlled exrlusMely by the new company,
and the statement* in regard to such induce
ment made by the Douglasses are false. They
deny that any more money was promised than
was paid, or that the averment of the Douglasses
as to working capital was ever made,
and say It "was never heard or until
the publication of their answer in the
cause, and is wholly and basely false a< touch
ing the interviews, * # ami is believed to be
a fabrication from beginning to end." They
allege tbat tbe statements of L. and F. I> ma
las* that they were allured and enticed into the
formation or the corporation, are wholesale per
versions of the truth, ftnd cbftrge that they did
ftll tbe enticing and er.snaring; that ftt each in
terview they pressed the necessity ror immedi
ate formation of the corporation, an J urged and
begged the payment of *;;oo cash at once to
satisfy their 'landlord and prevent the attach
ment and sale of their property. They further
stated that the Douglasses have been exercising
the same control* of the affairs of tbe corpora
tion that they did before over the paper, with
out tegftrd to authority; that there was no
change in the po.-itionw of the Douglasses by the
formation of- the corporation. "Being en
gaged in the publication of a paper, and
about to .suspend, as they thennelvej
admit. Johnson, Greener, Tompkins, Augusta,
Boston and Cook gave them about ?MOO in ca*b;
brought tbem work from the Freedman's Oank,
amounting to *300; became canvft->^ers for the
paper, largely increasing its subscription here
?nd elsewhere, and gave them Greener and
Cook, who labored as Associate editors for four
or five months without ftny compensation, an<i
who famished the mftjor portion of the edito
rial matter." They say further ?? that they are
arxlons to be relieved from the tender embrace
of said L. Hf ftnd F. Douglass, jr., in whose
mftnagement of said p?per the stockholders
have now no confidence; tbat these deponents
are unwilling, being in law responsible for tha
debts of the corporation, further to imi>overiih
themselves In laboring to continue the man
agers in employment, and are anxious to have
said corporation dissolved and the affairs wound
up, and all the other stockholders are anxious
to secure tbe same result. A.id they iirmly be
lieve that if the injunction is dissolved, and the
efticers placed in charge, tbe stockholders will
be at tbe mercy of the said officers, the present
indebtedness will be increased, and tbe stock- I
holders subjected to suits."
To-dav the case was c*lled in the E.iuitv
Court, Judge Wylie. ftnd Mr. Kiddle read the
answer ftnd ftrgaed the motion to dissolve the
injunction and to rescind tbe order appointing
a receiver, which was resisted bv the comnlftin
ant (Mr. J. H. Cook). Judge Wylie stated that
bt would give his decision to-morrow.

ThkLohg Bitidob Aoais.?To explain the
injury the Long bridge is to the interests of our
city it is only necessary to state that yesterdiy
the mail steamer Lady of the Lake was de
tained at our port all day, and the steamer New
York, from Philadelphia, and the Colombia,
from Baltimore, both on their way to this city,
were detained at Alexandria, all on account of
the draw of the Long bridge not being open,
which they say was caused by the wind storm
which prevailed. This is too thin, as the steam
ers have passed to-day and the wind is still
blowing. Several schooners also arrived at the
bridge yesterdey, loaded wltu grain, and were
compelled *o return to Alexandria.
