Publir DistRrbance having been all- houhced tliat the Rev. Mr. Rand. of Boston, dIectufef fof Ihe American Anti Slavery SO- ciety, wodld deliver discourse on the im- nediate abolition Of Slavery, in this city last evening, q large audience assembled at the Baptist Church. where the discourse was to be delivered. All was quiet until the speak er touched upon the great subject of his mis- sion. wtleh hS was loudly and violently inter- rupted bya body of young men, apparently assembled for the purpose. The speaker q. tempted to go oh, but the violence increased whenever the subject of slavery was men, tioned, until he found himself compelled to sit down. The Rev. Mir. Neale, and the Rev. Mir. Jocelyn interposed, and attempted to al- lay the tumult, but their exertions only serv- ed to increase the storm, which continued, at intervals, until the close of the meeting. We are sorry to say that the violence did not end here. A portion of the rioters afterwards vi- sited the dwelling house of Mir. Jocelyn, tore up the fence in front, assailed the windows, hnd did other damage to the premises, to what extent we are not informed, not having witnessed any of the proceedings.

 However obnoxious may be the measures of the ab0litionists to large majority of our citizens, or however irnprudent they may be in braving public sentiment by public att tempts to Dr0mulgate their doctrines, it is an undOubted violation of their rights to be thus assailed. They have right to assemble and discuss matters of public import, unmolested, by argument and not by force. The reme- dy, if any is needed, should be to abstain from their meetings, and thus prevent those settlements which are too apt to invade the good order of society, and engender con- tempt for the supremacy of law, which may ultimately prove dangerous to the security onI al No,n HOa,on Hoxnh

 RoSaance dnd Re0litg.--On Wednesday af- ternooG, officer Madden. stationed at the Five Points, brought to the Police Office white woman, rather decently clad, and bearing the traces of having been once eminently handsome, whom he had found intoxicated, in one of the worst dens in that place. She was taken up as a common vagrant, and a bundle of unfinished clothes, which were found with her, were taken charge of. On Thursday, having become sober, she was brought up for examination, and gave the toi- lowing account of herself which we publish to show how low woman may fall.

 She is the daughter of Patrick Barsy, a highly respectable gentleman of this city, who was esteemed as we'll for his private worth. as for his education, which was of the first stamp When Eliza was about IS, she was addressed by Alexander Arsino, clerk in the U. s. Bank, which situation was procu- red for him by Mir. Robinson, the cashier.- They were married, and for Q while lived happily; but Arsino became stage-struck, aad.neglccted his business. Eliza was also similarly infected, and as she had fine per- son, was we'll educated, and had taste for the drama i; they went on to. the south, where both procured an engagement at good sal ary. 1,a s. ,e.

 When they returned to this city, her hus- band neglected her, and was particularly at- tentive to her younger sister, a pretty and in-, teresting girl of 16 years. He soon began to- treat his wife harshly; and. to cap the cli- max, affer raising all the money he could by any and every means, he ran off with her sis- ter to Michigan. leaving Eliza with his moth- CT, who, by the way, never approved of their marriage. Eliza soon became dissatisfied, left her nother-in-law, and supported herself by sewing. She took to drinking, and went downwards, step by step, until she was found as stated. She has, or at least she says she has, claim for $lOOO on an estate in this ci- ty, which is now in the court of chancery. and WE will venture to add. where 1t is likely to remain. sga 5.a

 Eliza. when brought up for examination, certainly did not appear 10 be much affected by the nature of her situation, and if dischar- ged, will, most probably, return to her old haunts.-Nesc- York News.

 Hon. Judah Dana has been appointed by the Governor of Maine Senator in Congress in place of MT. Shepley, resigned.

 6e .WAsmNeroS, D. C. llth December, 1886.

 It is underwood that the Committees Of Congress will be appointed to-morrow. In the House of Rep resentaves the alterations will be few; and those, great measure confined to the political Jamily. In the Senate, the changes will be very great. MT. Webster wil be removed as Chairman of the Finance Committee and his place supplied by Mfr. Wright Ho has won this honorable distinction, nancier, by the accuracy of his estimates and calculations du- ring the last session Of Congress- the subject o the Surplas Revenue. By the bye, although Mir. Wright aas the confidence of his friends by his sagacious cal cHlatons. yet by the calculations he loses his bets with lis opponents; for he made bet with Mir Clay. or some other memfersof Congress, that V there any surplus in the Treasury. the first of Janu- ary next it would be to tseaiy than to Jory millions oi dollars. What shrewd guessing. Pay your
