r.E30Lcrioss:
"Whereas we, the Eepubllean Association or the
great State or Pennsylvania, largely composed,
as we are, or soldiers ol the late war. have heard
with feelings or regret the slanderous falsehoods
put forth la the House of representatives or the
United States during the past week by certain
ex officials or the Conrederacy; and whereas we
have In aiany ways and on all occasions extended
ttie hand or friendship and full amnesty to our
late enemies in arms: therefore be It
Jtetofreif, Thatweare still anxious toforgetttro
past and look only to the future welfare of our
common country : but as their political satrap,
Hon. Mr. Hill, orGeorgia, undertook to cover up
his misstatements by proclaiming that he had no
quancl with us as soldiers or the late Union army.
&, we take this opportunity to Inform Mr. Hill
and his associates that, as we have stood by our
leaders and statesmen In the past, so we pledge
ourselves to stand by them in the future In bat
tling against falsehood and treason wherever wo
find it ; and be it further
Ketolvet. That as we have lost not one jot or
tittle of confidence or respect In and for our
worthy President, U. S. Grant, we hereby renew
our pledge of support in the future, as in the
past; and be it further
Hesolvei, That as the Opposition newspapers
have frequently asserted that the Repuoltcarl
party cannot elect to the Chief Magistracy of the
country any pi rson outside of the role ofmllltary
life; of showing our confidence in the Intelligence
and stability of the great majority of the Amer
can people, and as the Hon. J. G. Blaine has
shown his executive atlllty as a fearless and tn
trepld statesman, ever battling for the right and
crushing treason, that we do hereby make known
to the Republican nominating convention, which
la to meet in Cincinnati in June next, that the
Hon. J. G. Blaine, or Maine, is our choice for
President or tho United States In 1S77.
Mr. V. U. Stone offered the following:
nnolrei. That this association does heartily
Indorse ex Speaker Blaine and others In the posi
tion they took ami the noble defense they male
In opposition to the general amnesty bill pending
In the House. .
It was evident by the action or a majority or
the association that neither or these resolutions
expressed the sentiments or the association.
They were at first laid uDon the table by an
almost unanimous vote. The members opposed
to the resolutions then moved the reconsideration
or the vote, and adjourned pending the reconsid
eration. THE STEVEXS SCHOOL BUILDING.
Eeport of Inspector Plowman as to its Condi
tion. Inspector Plowman has made a report to As.
slstant Engineer B. Oertly or the condition of the
Stevens school-house, recently on fire, lie states
that "on the 11th Instant (the day on which the
fire occurred) 1 visited the building at230 o'clock,
and made a careful and minute inspection of the
same. The room In which the fire occurrel Is on
the second floor, the northwest room. This build
ing is heated with steam by indirect radiation;
the radiating surface for this room Is attached to
the celling, under the floor, and cased on the
sides and underneath with wood, and lined with
tin, and opening Into the room with a register
Immediately over tho radiating surface. The
cause of the fire (without any doubt or question
In my mind) was, that in sweeping the floor tho
radiating surface has been made a receptacle,
and necessarily so, for paper, lint, or fibers or all
kinds accumulated In a school-room, and settling
upon the top or the radiating surlace, and by the
Intense heat had become very combustible, and
that some time In the past, er perhaps recently,
a match or matches hare been swept In, and coat,
lng in contact with the heating surface and paper.
Ignited at the southeast corner or tho hot-air
chamDer, Immediately under the floor or joists;
the deposits had apparently been so great as to
make heat sufficient to melt the solder or tin of
the lining, causing an aperturo for draft, setting
fire to the )olst and floor, and charring two or
them to a considerable extent, as well as tho
lining to the chamber.
"It is rortunate for all concemel that the alarm
was given promptly, and the fire so quickly
checked with but so little damage. Aside from
the damages sustained by the fire and in addition
thereto the rail or the stairs was broken down by
the pressure or the children during the excite
ment. That there was so loss or life was attribu
table chiefly to the cool and deliberate manner
In which the teachers controlled the children
during the excitement; and to the citizens who
were attracted to the building: by the valuable
assistance rendered by them. The Inspection of

"Under the emergency oi the case I Immediately

summer vacation have brick partition walls con
structed la lieu or tho present wood ones, and an
additional staircase, which I recommend. 1 fur
ther teccuimend that the chambers Inclosing the
radiating surface be reconstructed tn such a man
ner as to allow a circulation of air between sur
faces and lnclosure; and 1 further recommend
that In all school buildings where registers are
placed under tho floor that there be suspended a
shield or conical pan under the register as a re
ccptaelo box for sweepings, to prevent fire In the
inture from the aforesaid cause."
XEIHODISH.
laeetiEt? of the Preachers of the 21. E.
Church.
The weekly meeting of the pastors or the M.
E. Church or this city was held yesterday morn
ing In the parlors of the I oundry church. Tho
meeting was called to order by Kev. E. D. Osren,
of Kyland chape', the president; Key. G. W.
Uobbs, or Grace church, secretary. Kellglous
services were conducted by liev.Samuel Shannon,
ol I nlon chapel.
Alter the usual routine business of the meeting
was through. Key. J. 1" Newman, D. D., called
the attention or the preachers to the fact that the
annual conference would convene In Metropolitan
M. E. church ontbehrstor March next, and that.
In accordance with the agreement or the preach,
en' meeting several weeks ago, this was the day
lor the reports from the pastors or the number of
homes provided in each charge Tor the entertain
mest ol the preachers and lay delegates of the
annual conference. He estimated that it would
be necessary to furnish homes for three hundred
persons, and upon the call or the pastors homes
were reported for two hundred and eighty. This
leaves a small margin for application for the en
tertainment or the preachers or the conrerence,
and tiiose or our citizens who wish to entertain
these preachers had better report at once to Iter.
Dr. Newman.
It was reported that a call had been made by
Itev. Messrs. Moody and Sankey, now In Phila

COAL OIL AGAIN.
Anothsr Victim Adflid to thi Lang List.
It seems as tr accidents by coal oil were to be

already long list of those who termed to pay any
attention to the many warnings or the danger of
this article as a kindler or fires, In the person or
Eliza Costello, filty years or age, residing at 920
Buttonwood street.
Finding she had allowed her fire to get low.
and wishing to expedite her dinner, whleh she
was coozlng, she resorted to the oll-cai as the
quickest promoter or her wlihes. She btran
pourtag the oil on the fire, when like a Hash it
caught, and in a second the stream or flames had
ignited her clothing.
She began to scream for help, and rushed ror
the door. The draught had the enact of in
creasing the flames, and she was so badly burned
about the face and body that her life Is despaired
of.

BEAB-LETXjTS OFFICE SaLE--
A Chanel for Chiap Parehassi.
The selling of articles that had aeeaafetti la
the dead-letter department of the General Post
Office was femmenced yesterday taarliiaic at the
auction rooms of Duncassci'urotatfI auction
eers, corner of Ninth aj d strreli northwest.
Sales of this nature xur annually, and are ne
cessitated to mafci raena the depository In the
dead-letter office for etheTSbttng received. Every
effort is m'ide to and both ttra party sending them
and those for whom they ere intendel, and when
no proper claimant eaz be discovered they are
disposed of la the manner indicated, after having
Dektt neiaa reasonable lengtnoi timeio dcchiou
for. At the auction begun yesterday there were
8,577 articles or various descriptions to bo disposed
or, and it will pnftably require the enttroweek
to complete the sale. Many of the things offered
are of a trlfilngnature, such as neckties, pieces of
ribbons, pocket handkerchiefs, velm. skeins or
silk, needles, -socks, stockings, scarfs, collars,
bowr. elastics. wristlets, kid gloves, othInr,baby
Ehtrts, etc., which will not bring prices scarcely
sufficient to pay the postage expended on them.
In what istnown as tne "registered letter list,"
however, may be found a number or such valua
ble articles as diamond rings, gold watches, sets
of jewelry, lockets, lace shawbvglove and sleeve
buttons, medals, buckles and lead pencils. Fur
ther down tho schedule Is any quantity or sheet
music, books, albums, chromes and engravings,
all crtbetn to be sold before the sale closes.
Yesterday morning there 'was a goodly number
of persons in attendance, and ror that day it was
derided to dispese or the first fire hundred
articles on the list, dividing the day into two
sales, beginning at 10 a, E. and 1 p. m. The auc
tioneer did not dwell long on the disposition of
anything ouered, and trequently knocked the
article down on the first bid. The thing put up
generally was or so little value that not much or
aprlcecculJ be expected font, and five and tea
cents ror tome time appeared the varying figures.
Now and then forty and fifty cents would bo
reached, but these bids were exceptional cases.
As the schedule is 'gone over and the more val
uable articles reached the contest will doubtless
become more spirited, and the prices obtained
greatly exceed thosa of yesterday.
The sale will be more interesting to ladies
than gentlemen, as the goods to be sold are
chiefly of their wear, and never having seen ser
vice are equal tonow, and can be purchased ror
almost notbtng. The only changes from monot
onous bidding yesterday were when the crier
would exclaim, "Look to your catalogues:" Num
ber so and so, "a laco collar," "threo yards or
lace," "a lace handkerchief," five yards of rib
bon," "fine lace edging," t-c. Then the ladles
would appear to wake up to the Importance of
the occasion, and for a few minutes a lively con
test would ensue for the possession or the lmport
antlace. In one instance a collar was knocked
down Tor 40 cents and five persons claimed it as
their bid; it was finally settled by reselling it lor
45 cents.
Neckties were at a discount and in little de
mand at five cents apiece. Ten cents worth of
blue, scarlet or some other colored ribbon was
knocked off at Intervals or five minutes. Sewing
machine and other needles had no show, and
could scarcely be given away.whlle the bows would
sot be taken at any prion. Had they been pinned
on the masculines, and the possessors gone with
them at the time or sale, probably the auctioneer
would have round the bids augmenting to flatter
ing figures and the rcmales forcing the market,
knowing this to be leap year. However, no
beaux were offered, and the sale was correspond
ingly dull in that respect. It Is not intended to
follow the catalogue direct throughout the sale,
but selections will bo made from the different
schedules and offered for competition tn the bid
ders. In this manner the Dead Letter Office sale
will be continued from dar to day until all the
articles have been disposed of.

CENTENNIALTEA PARTY.
Rare Treat in Store for.Patroni and Visitors.
The Martha Washington Centennial Tea Party
to be held at Talmadge hall on Wednesday and
Thursday of this week promises to be the event
of the season. Every effort is being made by the
ladles in charge to have the affair at onec bril
liant and enjoyable, and also successful pecu
niarily, so as to effect their purpose of assisting
in the building or the new cathedral, which will
be the finest structure In the District.

we give but a foretaste of the combined bril
liancy of the assemblage. We hope ror all the
sueeess these ladles so richly deserve in their
effort to tender their entertainment mostattrae.
Knightly Penmanship.
There Is on exhibition in the show window or
Ellis' music store a valuable addition to noted
modern specimens or Illuminated writing, and it
may reasonably be doubted whether the works or
the old matters, preserved on vellum, afford a
finer illustration of skill, taste and coloriog with
the pen. Mr. J. W. Stockton, ol the third an
ditor's office. Is certainly entitled to rank among
artists ror this elegant production. The subject
Is a series of resolutions from the Old Dominion
Commandery, K. T.,of Alexandria, Virginia, to

A Goon Story.
Last nlth". aoout 8 (.'aces: u a young man liv
ing oi Sixth street approached his house from F i
street on his way home, he observed aworcah 1
come oat or the gate, closely enveloped in a shawl
which was drawn over her head, almost conceal
ing her entire face, but enough was exposed to
show, as she passed beneath the ras-lamp, that
she was colored. His suspicions were aroused,
and he watched her moverents. She walked
slowly down Sixth street, gUndug back over her
shoulder every few steps. Tee yoang man. after
watching her unll she passed into darkness be
yond the light of tbe gas-lamp, then entered his
aatejustasthe servant came to the door, and as
it was opened, the light from the gas In the hall
fell upon a mysterious looking bundle lying on
the door stop. He asked the servant II the bell
had tung, and receiving an affirmative answer
told her not to touch the bundle until he round a
policeman, for evidently the colored woman he
had seen leave the door had deposited the bundle
on the step. Following the woman, who con
tinued to walk along very leisurely, until she
entered City Hall park, the young man turned
Into Seventh street, where he met two policemen,
to whom he related the circumstances. Together
they then went back to tha house, where all was
excitement with the members of the family,
whose minds were filled with visions of a mur
dered lniant, its throat cut from ear to ear, or the
rope with which it had bees strangled yet about
its neck. Eves the policemen hesitated a moment
before touching the terrible bundle, but one or
them lifted it up, while all leaned forward to
catch the first glance or the murdered child, and
tearing off the newspaper out rolled a dead
coose! Not a dressed goose, but one which had
evidently died and had lam for two or three days.
The only inference that can be drawn lrom tho
singular conduct or the woman in leaving the
goose upon the steps is that she had been a ser
vant in a house in the neighborhood, had been
discharged, and took this mode of revenge.
John O'Connor Power's lectsrj.
Mr. John O'Connor Power, whose eloquent ad
vocacy In the British Parliament (or which body
ho Is still a member) or the rights of Ireland, has
endeared him to the hearts of his countrymen
every where, will, as announced in another column,
deliver a lecture at Ford's opera-house on next
Thursday evening. His subject "The Condition
or Ireland, Social, Political and Industrial" Is
well calculated to draw forth his full powers as a
close observer, a deep thinker, a logical reasoner
and an earnest advocate. The reputation he has
earned In other cities justifies us In believing he
will do bis subject full justice. We trust he will
have a large and attractive audience.
How to Rise.
It was Wendell Phillips who said, in language
as rcrelble as it was truthful, that "it IS the dol
lar saved, over expenses on Saturday evening
that makes the account grow In tho savings
bank, that makes the Individual prosperous, that
gives nlm a happy home, leads to his advancement-and
ultimately makes him an Influential
and useful member of society."
The German American Savings Bank, corner
oi Seventh and F streets, pays Interest on de
posits. Of Public Interest.
For thirty years there has teen no improvement
in the composition or a porous plaster. The re
cent discovery or Capclne and its addition to an
improved porous plaster has Introduced to the
consumers and the public an article of progress.
The objection to the ordinary article is its slow
action. BessoVs Cai-cike Porous Plaster
overcomes this great objection by eilectlng in a
few hours what the ordinary porous plaster ac
complishes in days and weeksof continuous wear.
Bessos's Cai-cike Porous Plabters are pre
ferred ta all others on the following grounds:
First Their composition is or as Improved na

specific, has sever been equaled In the
history or true medicine. .They operate
with astonishing vigor, bring almost lm-
mediate relief, and cure more speedily
and with greater certainty than any

Second They possess all the merit of the ordi
nary porous plaaterwlth above addition,
and will cure all tho various difficulties
for which they have been esteemed In as
many hours as the ordinary article

Third They are a genuine pharmaceutical pre
