local intelligence. paid a visit afternoon to the Church of the Epiphany, be long tag to the p-otestaat Episcopal denomination, which la minted oa street, north, between Thirteenth and Fourteenth streets. The edifice has recently great Improvements, and when competed, will be converted from a plain building of tome GO feet front by 75 jrU deep. Into a large cruciform structure, constituting one of the handsomest bouses of worship this city Esstthe enlargement waa i.f>oc*d by moving back the rear wall about sixty Ihns nuking the entire depth of the bolldn lis feet On either side of the addition, tranwere projected 15 feet, with a width of 45 The area of tha main fi was thus from 1.300 square feet to 9,450 square feet. pat hesidea this, a portion of the rear immediately behind the altar, for the apace of about wide.

Is set back about 4 feet, which infrfjse-- the entire area to 0,570 square feet. In rack of the transepta, there ia a gallery occupyng Its entire extent. One of tbese ia for the ac.uiiiiodation of tha choir, and the other for Therbancei la enclosed wih a tasteful railing, and the altar, which a handsomely and excellent plecn of workmanship, ts richly furnished. The pulpit and the church funlture. generally, are well worthy of being at ooce and hand The pews j'j without aoors throughout tbeentire church.

We did not ascertain the height from floor to rfiilag. bot suppose it to be about 45 feet; It ia to give the interior a appearance. The walls and celling In a atyle suitable to the character of tbe but more elaborately and artistical lM" 1 tbe rase with churches generally. The gns on the celling are especially beautiful. je artist was Mr.

Franze, of this city, whose too well known to need commendation from ns. The are filled with clearlycolored and handsomely-designed stained glass, frsm tbe fhc'ory of an artist of established repnwtion In Baltimore, whose name has escaped our unemory. The portions of the celling where the transepts join tbe main building, are supported oa each side of tbe church by four Irregular cast1-on columns, from the fonndery of Mr. Ellis, of this city, two of which on each side are Insulated. and the others pUced contiguous to, and partially Imbedded In.

the rorners of the wall On the tops of these, brick arches are sprung from to the other, giving a fine fleet to tbe ornamental style of the interior, and contributing to preserve Its harmony with the gotblc style of the windows and tbe exterior generally, Immediately above the altar there is a circular wtudow la too rear wall, five feet In diameter, which is Blled with stained glass ot bright colors, representing a star, and embehshed with appropriate ornamentations. That also adds greatly to tbe appearance of tbe room. In tbe front of tbe church a massive gothlc tower is in progress of ercctlon. which it Is con? a mplatrd to carry up to tbe height of 135 feet. is composed wholly of brirk, with cast-iron door and wiudow frames, belt course, columns from the establishment of Messrs Hayward A Bartlett, of Baltimore; and rolled-iron girders for tbe lielfry, floor, and ceiling, from the rolling mills of Messrs.

Cooper A llcwitt. New Jersey. The tower is about thirty feet squa'e at tbe base, but as It approaches the summit Its form will hange to an octagon. It is contemplated to furnish It with a full chime of hells of large slie, and hence It Is bnllt In the most substantial manner. The main entrance to the cburcb will be through the base the tower.

The foundations tbe building are deeply laid and are of blue ro? k. They were laid by Messrs. Campbell A Mooney, of this city On this sub foundation, the tower has also a base of hewn gianlte rock, which extends several feet above the surface of the ground. The preparing and laying of this was the work of Mr. Acker of tblsclty.

The church will be heated with hot air furnaces from establishment of Mr. Harrover ou Seventh itxeet. Mr. Young, an attache of the Bureau of Construction of the Treasury Department, Is the architect who prepared the design of this edifice, and it has been erected under the superintendeaceof Messrs. E.

Bird and Bro carpenters and bnlId-rs The brick work is by Messrs. Wise A. Callahan, the firm who are laying the brick on tbe additions to Willards' Hotel, and who put up tbe printing office of Mr. Wendell, near the depot, together with a number of other extensive structures in tbe city. Tbe which there is a great deal aL.out the building, and part of that in the Interior Is of a highly artistic done by Mr.

T. Cassell, and the plasterers were Messrs. Allen A Jackson. When the tower Is completed It will be covered. as will also the entire front of the building, with a coating of brown-stone-colored mastic, and the edifice will then vie with any other of im kind in the city, in point of sine, style, beauty of finish, and durability.

The work is not, to be sure, progressing with remarkable rapidity, as It is the intention of the congregation to complete It without becoming Involved in a heavy amount of indebtedness, if possible. It will, however, be entirely completed by the close of a'lother season, no doubt, and tbe beils will most likely be placed in tbo tower by that time. RiroiTKRs at Ptblic annexed plaint, which we clip from a Philadelphia exchange paper, sets forth a grievance so common in our city, as to need no comment, as all members of the newspaper press here, who may chance to read It, can bear experimental testimony. We give it for the special benefit of the committees usually charged with tbe gettlug up of mass meetings and other public demonstrations in Washington city, in the hope that tbey will "make a note" and bear the reporters in mind when next they officiate It is a matter to be greatly regretted that so many of those concerned In getting up public of any kind whatever, should have so little idea of what they owe to reporters of the press, and what they ought to do for their arcon.iiiodation. All of those Interested In such meetings.

scramble for the papers, read the reports with eagerness, and If there Is ths slightest omission ot proceedings. or one of their favorites is not praised in full, down they come to the to have the defect supplied. Hut they do not supply chat's and tables notwithstanding the extraordinary interest which tbey take in seeing he 1own performabces and those of their friends in typo. 44 At one-half of all tbe public assemblages In Philadelphia.whether political or philanthropic, whether secular or reporters are obi iged to take on their knees or hat tops, perhaps standing, and certainly incommoded In a manner which few persons realize Those who Willi to do so, may form some idea of It by undertaking to write several pages standing up, with a friend employed to alternately knock up either This want of provision for tbe convenience of reporters is lust so much subtracted from the knowledge of all who read tbe papers. Any supposed to aid the world iu any wav, or be connected with any deserving aims, ought to be known to everybody.

This b.ng been recognized as a duty which representative owe a constituency it Is. It is discreditable to any meeting to see ample accomm da made for intlividuals very remotely connected. If connected at all, with some supernumerary, while the provtdeis for the press are virtually excluded Tausi atia Complaints are being made by a number of the merchants on tbe north side of Pennsylvania avenue about the condition of tbo street la front of their busiuess house where those engaged In laying the water pipes have neglected to restore the ground after displacing it, to IU former condition. This neglect is mire apparent between Second and Third streets, where a partial excavation was made some three weeks ago and thus left, the workmen leaving a dangerous trench and a high mound of earth nil along the square, which prevents carriages from driving near tbo pavement, and also prevents thoee engaged la business there frotn pursuing it, except at a great Inrouvenleuce to themselves and their customers. One gentleman Informs us thai during tbe last three weeks be baa loat from his regular receipts at least per day by reason of tb6 BUifflUCT.

We understaMl that the water pipes will be laid along tbe route complained of in a few days, and that the delay has been unavoidable, for some cauae which the contractors have not yet taken the trouble to explain to the Injured parties. Bold Bciotana residence of C. W. Bennett, Esq corner of Eleventh and II streets, was burglariously entered last nlgbt. The burglars went coolly to work, llgLted the gas, helped themselves to whatever delicacies of the tbey could lay on, overhauled the drawers, wardrobes, and left tbe house open and Illuminated.

The family is not In the city, and the house is la care of a housekeeper, who was much frightened this morning when sheawoke at findi the house opened the gas lighted, and drawers ransacked The usekeeper Is unable to say what was taken This will aflord tbe an opportunity of testing tbelr detective qualities. Closk or next term of the Public Schools of this city commences Monday, the fith of September, Instead of on Wednesday, the first, as some of those interested erroneoosly believe Primary No. 3, in the First Dls trict, It is said, will have to be removed from Its former locality In the Church of tbe Ascension, as that building ts now undergoing repairs, and theTruatees And it dUficult lo find another room for IU occupancy. Accihit mv.uitog, while tbe workmen wer? engaged In the trench for the water pipes opposite street, tbe side fell In and caught two of the laborers. They were taken out.

and after xamination found to be bat slightly injured Uh a little care, they will be speedily to resume their labors. Th? Kxotujt Ybsterdat Buck tills wabb.

At II o'clock a ro the four or ire thousand people on the grouud were called together for Divine service by tbe sound of a tin horn, blown at tbe preachers' stand; and, after some good singing by Wesley Cbapel and other choirs united, an earnest practical discourse was delivered by the Rev.

A dealer from Georgetown, who took up his wares yesterday morning for the purpose of selling ihem at the encampment, wa? pounced upon by the sheriff of Montgome county, who smashed some bottles of his liquor, and held him to bail for court. As we have already said, tbe District cities were well represented on the ground. Some of o'ir Common Councilmen were good we among the most attentive of the audience who were listening to the exhortations of tbe Ushers of men" we noticed one of our inost renowned fishers of fish, portly, jovial Andrew Ilant-ock, with his patriarchal white beard After the sermon we saw him in the shade of a low spreading oak, leclluiug placidly upon a couple of buggy cushions, and surrounded by a circle ef congenial spirits. Tbe return home In the afternoon by the WashIngtonians was characterized by some fast driving, the roads 1m lug in go.id order. Tbe keepers had a time of It, and so had the horses bit no bones nor buggies wer Irokenthct we know of.

Tus Wabre.ito.i Warrenton correspondent of the Alexandria Gazette, under d-ite of the instant, says James (jreen was arrested on Thursday morning, on a warrant issued by justice iiccktiam, upon the application of the Coinmouwealth's Attorney. The examination of the case was waived before the Justice, and Green was recognized to appear before tbe County Court (then in session) on tbe following day. jVccoidingly, morning the rase was taken up by the Court. Tbe Commonwealth's Attorney moved a continuance until the September term of the court, and K. Scott, for the prisoner, moved that further proceedings be quashed and tbe prisoner discharged.

These motions clicited engthy and able arguments from counsel upon both sides, in which Messrs Scott, for the defence, and 11. Payne anil D. A Washington City, for the Commonwealth, participatcd. Tbe Court refused the motion of the prisoner's counsel, and continued the ease until first day of the September term, as several Witnesses upou both sides were absent from the county Mr. Scott applied for bail, which granted, and tbe prisoner entered into bonds for to appear; Shackelford, Esq is the security.

At this stage of the proceedings, W. H. Payne. Esq Commonwealth's attorney, asked the Court, in consideration of his near connection to tbe prisoner, the consequeut delicate position he occupied, to excuse him from tbe further prosecution of tbe case, and to appoint some one else In his st? ad. Tbe Court granted his request and appointed James V.

Hrooke, to conduct the case on the part of the Comtnonw allh. Tbe witnesses present were then ear-h in the sum of to appear at tbe September term. The arguments of tbe couiisel, above alluded were listened to by a large crowd of persons from various parts of the county. Mr. ftatcliffe, who is an unele of the deceased, took a prominent part In the discussion.

He stated tnat he bad not come here for the of revenge, but to have a fair and thorough Investigation of the esse. He did not know that he should even appear as counsel, but he felt it due to the family of the deceased, to the prisoner himself, and to public opinion, that tbe case should be investigated. lie had heard since his arrival here, that at tbe former examination of this case, the standlug and character of bis nephew were assailed that he was represented as a bad and desperate man and he would ask the to give bim an opportunity of vindicating the deceased from such aspersions Hut 1 did not intend to give even a synopsis of the arguments used. Sufiice it to say, they were able, and reflected credit upon the learned counsel engaged The large crowd in attendance, and the profound attention with which they listened, evince the deep interest the community feel in this case. Editor pf tkt Star: A correspondent of the Baltimore Sun complains, In that paper, that, upou the opening of tbe public schools, on tbe 1st of theroming mouth, there will be five thousand children uuable to obtain admission for want of room, aud calls upon our to unite with the Mayor and Board of Trustees in keeping the nratter before Congress, in order to get accommodations for tbem from that quarter.

Now, I would ask of you, Mr through your valuable paper, of anyone, whether, among tbe large number named above, there might not be found many who arc tbe children of indigent parents, unable to pay for educating them at tbe private schools; aud, if so, why Ft is that the children of those in very comfortable circumstances are allowed to occupy in the public schools, to the exclusion of the reaily needy, for whom, (if my understanding of the matter be right.) exclusively, they were instituted? 1 will only trouble you further by stating one case within iuy of a man whose Income, from his rents alone, as far as 1 know tbem. to nearly, if not quite, per annum, and yet that man has three of bis children quartered upou the Corporation schools for education I think it should be the duty of the Board of Trustees to inquire into the iK-cuniary circumstances of persons applying for admission, and that none should lie admitted free, except tbe really needy. And It is with the view of doing something towards bringing alnmt such a result that 1 trespass upou your valuable space. Not Owe or the Needy. Washington, Aug.
