The Bedford Streitt Mission Its FOUR TEENTH ANNIVERSARY To-NIOHT. Let not OU6 of our philanthropic citizens forget the anni versary of the Bedford .Street Mission, at 7U o'clock this evening, at Concert Hull. Good speakers will be In attendance, and the simple mention of their names will guarantee to tlio audience interesting addresses: Hon. U, Price, M. C, from Iowa; 1).'. Parish, woli known to our citizens; Rev. J. Walker Jackson; and Hev. John . Lous, Missionary. Since good music, Hinging;, and interesting addresses are an nounced, no doubtsare entertained but that tho exercises throughout will be of a pleasing nature, and should call forth a large attendance of our citizens. A collection will betaken up to defray contingent expenses. The Bedford Street Mission has performed, and is to-day oarrying on, a glorious work. It is the only cheering light which shlues forth from that darkened community, where vice in all its various f rms, ignorance and infamy, abound. Probably no neighborhood could be found which affords less inducement lor tho establishing and sustaining of a missionary institution of this kind than the one in whose midst it is situated. Yet the Bedford street Mission, with Its corps of Christian teachers, who. by their earnest labors and un tiring effbrtB. have furthered its plans, is to-day one of the most successful, prosperous, and promising institutions for the gathering in of the little ones, who are educated, aided, saved from want, and kept from disgrace. The only nope for the redemption of that community surrounding the Mission lies in the education and Christianizing of t lie rising generation, 'tiefore they become addicted to the evils and habits of the place. Yesterday we had the pleasure of visiting the Mission House, and were surprised to lind it in such a promising condition, and would say to all our philanthropic friends, that it is worthy their liberal patronage; since the work is of a humane and buncvolcnt one. The children, numbering about two hundred and City, and averaging ationt six years, looked lldy, might, frrsli, and clean; they appeared studious, and recited their lessons in a manner which might make other and older scholars blush. The inlant depurlmont, numbering etglitv-flvp scholars, is under the special charge of MissOrd; while the higher department, con taining eighty-two girls and sovenly-six boys, iMunuerthe keeping of Miss Jones, principal; assisted bv Misses Huberts and Kuowles. Kev. John B. Long is tho missionary and general superintendent of the Institution. Besides pro viding for the many almost homeless and desti tute children now in charge of the Mission, last year there were distributed among the poor of the vicinity and wiio would otherwise have suffered extremes! poverty and destitution more than two thousand dollars' worth ot arti cles, Not ouly has that been done; but by the intercession of many a grief-stricken mother, many a son, who was just at the threshhold of crime, has been given a home and saved from destruction, by the efforts of those connected with the Mission. A few suggestions with reference to the con dition of Bedford street might not bo amiss. It has generally been granted of late to be one of tbe most filthy streets within the precincts of the "Quaker City." The experience of the last year should teaoh us a lesson, and we should lake imraediatemeasurcsforits purification, for it was in this street that tiie cholera first made its dreadful appearance; and under the present circumstances and vendition of that neign borhood, the invitation appears good for its appearance a second time, unless measures are immediately lnbtitnted for the cleansing, ven tilation, and puriticatiou of this iufectud district. i Thb Camden Municipal Election was held voterdnv. and resulted in a complete triuinpn fur the Republican party.

The unusual prevalence of northeasterly winds along the coast, bringing with them, ns they do, heavy logs, bos ma terially affected our homo communications.

STHKF.T AND IS FATALLY IN.IUKKD. John Downey and Frank, his brothor, aged respectively thirteen and seventoen years, have for a long time carried on robberies of consider able amount at the South street wharf. They managed to steal from Jersey marketers all manner of valuables, such as chickens, vegeta bles, and loose clothing. The police have been searching for them tor some time. This morning Officer Ferguson spied them at their operations ou the wharf, and gave chase. The boys ran up to Penn street, below South, into a brick building, and up to the fourth story, hoping to get on the roof by means of the trap-door, and hold it down. But finding the ollicer at their heels, and dreading to be taken into custody, John ran to a dormer window ou this fourth story, Jumped out, and eame down on to pavement with such force as to produce insensibility. When help arrived it was ascertained that one of his limbs was broken between the knee aud hip, a deep gash was under his chin, several contu sions on the skull, and a doctor present stated that he was seriously, if not fatally Injured in ternally.

THIRD EDITIONIFOURTII EDITION FROM WASHINGTON THIS AFTERNOON. SPECIAL DE.SPATCnBS TO EVENING TET.EQEAPI1.J Washington, March 13. The Bonllgny Laud Grant. The time ofihe morninir session of the House je-tcrday was almost entirely oocupi d by Mefors. W'sshburne, of Wisconiin. and Wood bridge, of Vermont, In n personal explanation that amounted to a debate on the resolution iustrtictlUK the Secretary of the Interior to delay action on the bill passed last sension, prnntintr seventy-five thousand acres of land in Louhiona to tbo heirs of John E. Bouliftny. Tueasfcrnon of fraud on the part ol the c lsitu nnta and the development that Mr. Wahburne threatened to make, Induced theIlouse to vote for a resolution that checks the operation of a completed law oflast seslop. The law trranted one-sixth of four hundred and tllty thousand acie to the heirs of Bouligny, anil, it is claimed by Mr. Washburne, authorizes the clmmauts to acquire title to anv unoccupied public lands. The hhiory of the ciiim, as stated bv Mr Wash burne, is "that it derives its oricin from tlio famous Mississippi scheme of John Law no toriety. Law claimed from a print nlleped to have beeu made by the King of France in 1717. In 1835, the heirs of a Frenchman named H'Antrieve sot up a claim, when Congress parsed a bill authorizincr the claimiints to appear before the ollicers of the Land Oflico to make proof of their claim. The case went to the Supteme Court, which on lull review declared the claim illegal and void. It was afterwards reviewed by a petition io the Thirty-filth Conpress; but no action was taken until the Houpe ot Representatives of the Thirty sixth Conpress allowed the claim for the bene fit of the heirs of D'Antrieve, the Senate not aerpeiiiR. Buuiigny, from whom the present claimants claim, was a member of the com mittee which recommended the claim to that House. The matter was again introduced by tlia heirs of bouliany in the last Congress, which passed the bill now objected to. Tins is a bne I outline of the case as (riven by Mr. Washburne, who further states that there was no evidence before Conzress showing that Boullgny himself was an heir, or had any claim to the property. Many ot these statements are denied by some ot tho members of the com mittee that passed the claim. Should the inves tigation which the affair will have to submit to by this Congress confirm the histery given, it will piobably prove to members that ttiej are sometimes given to loose legislation.
