[Contlnued from the Fivst Page.] toilsomo march or n vigorons skirmish, In all, there must have boen 800 polico ofticers on hand. Tho Commissioners quickly decided that tho aight of sich on armed body wonld tond to cro- ato rathor than quoll disorder, and they sum- moned tho Gonoral Sunorintendont, 1o fn- formed thom that ho had roccived no positive instructions from the Mayor as to how ho should act, but ho belioved it was gonorally undorstoodl Ly i Honor and tho Aldorinon, that n lurgo Torco of policomen would bo on bhand aud bo avallablo fu cnso of an cmorgency, Cummise sloner Reno said there would bo no emorgoetcy, and Commissioner Shoridan ngreed with him. Both thon enid that, in their opinfon, tho ap- pearanco of tho police, drawn up for the purpose of stopping the march of the procession at cortam points, would bo the menns of inciting iho workingmon to crowd through by main force, I'hey recommended, and finnlly dircotod, that hinlf of tho policomon on the corners of Adams, Olatk, and LaSallo streots_bo withdrawn from sight, This was done, and a sublelent numbor woro left bohind to keop tho lavgo crowd in de- cont order. Aftor a whilo, whon it wasseon that thore was no poselblo chance for n row of any kind, the groator portion of tho 800 was sont on Loat. 'I'he pollco mot with no opposition at all, excopt in one instance, whon gomne druukon men in the procession advocated crowding in at the corner of Adams nnd Olark streets. No atfen- tion wag paid to them, however, and thoro was little or no troublo. ‘The polico authoritics thomsolves must confess that thoy nevor bad an easior job on thoir hands than the management of tho domonstration. An ordinary fire would havo givon them double tho annoynnco. WAITING FOR THE MUSIO. At 7 o'clock, tho streots in the vicinity of the City IIall bogan to show signs of more than ordinory lifo, and that building appeared to be the Mecca towards which the erowds of peoplo wore bending their stops. Whon they got there thoy scarcely know what thoy had come for, ns there was not tho slightost sign of any unusunl domonstration, 8o they stood around in front of tho building for awhilo, and thon thoso who had nickols went and bought beer with them ncross the way, and these that had none walked to tho cornors, and. joined tho _crowds which had ono through tho sdme routine, and wore warting for some- thing new to turn up. In this quict waysoveral thouennd pun})lo got togethor bofore tho fivst installmout of the procossion was noarer than n mile, and thero was not n loud word spoken until it arvived, As it was oxpeotod to march up olthor on LaSslle or Ulnrk stroots, tho corners of thoee thoroughfares and Adams strect wero crowded, whilo tho block botwoen was almost doserted. At precisoly ton minutos pnst 8 n conplo_of Qim transpnrencies woro sighted ab a groat dis- tanco north on LoSallo strect, aud the hitherto dull and listless watchors bogan to stir around. A rush wus niude for LaSalle sircot, but thore was no crowding, or yelling, or otber unsecemly behavior to speak of. HOW THE TROCESSION LOOKED. The procossion kept stoadily on, and ns it drow near, it becamo appnront that it was ono of the oddest-looking public demonstrations that ovor turned out on our streots. *Lhore way not the slightost attompt at order, and thore woro no lenders anywhere in sight except two men with flags and one man with o drum, It wag 80 dnrk that o full view could not Lo obtained, and it is therefore impossibloe to adequotely describio tho mareh. It soemied, how- ovor, a8 if thero wore anywhere from threo to a dozen men aud boys abreast withlocked arms, aud that thoy marcheddiagonaily up thostraot,oneside of tho procession beivg soveral yards inndvance of the othor, Whon thoy reached the corner of Adams stroot, tho crowd, nxflnouug that thoy would tura down in front of tho City Hall, at- tompted to got out of the way. Tho result was horrible entangloment, in which policemon and citizous wero almost juostricably mixed. ‘Thon for tho first time thoro was hooting and yelling in sbundauce. The procession kept its ground despito tho confusion, and prossed ifs way totho alloy running botweon the Pacific Hotel and tho City Hall, DOWN THE ALLEY. % At this point tho men with tho flage and tho mnu with the drum took n strange notioninto their heads, ond they dartod down the alley with loud crios. 'Tho procession went uftor them liko a flock of sheap, jand m a faw miautes the slloy wag full to overflowing, All the windows at tho rear end of the Iacific went upin an instant, and the heads of oxcited persons popped out, until tho whole side of the building was almost black. The procession succooded aftor awhile in gotting out of the alloy and on to Clark streot, nud whero it wont after thut it would bo Lard to toll. Aunother flock of workingmen, that looked exactly like the first, excopt that it kad butoneflag-bearar, ono transparoncy, and no drum, camo along aftor uwhile, and marched into obseurity, after giving utterance toa fow harmless yells. In a littlo while, the fivat flock and a portion of the second got to- gothor on LaSallo stroot, botweon Adams sud Monrce, snd they remnined thero uutil ro- lieved by tho roport of the Committoe. ——— AT THE COMMON COUNCIL.

TOW TO DISPOSE OF TIE RESOLUTIONS. Ald, MoGrath thought tho propor way to dis- poso of tho resolutions was to refor them fo a s}mcm committes of tho Council, to moot with their Comtnittes, and do something to rotiove the wants the workingmen complained of, Af- tor a propor cfla‘rnsninn was shown, they would bo eatisfled. The principal ronson of the pros- enco of tho polico forco was tho fact that tho building was considered uneafo for tho presenco of a largo crowd of Enonlm Tho Council was not propared to say what was bost to be done in the mattor of tho workingmon, but s propor action could be atrtved at by conferenco, The Mayor statod that theconferonco between tho Common Council and the Workingmon's Committeos would be held Tuocsday at 2 o'clock p.m. ADDRIEGS OF MAYOR COLVIN, Mayor Colyin thon addreseod the Working- men's Committee ns follows ¢ GENTLEMEN OF THE WORRINGMEN'S CoaarrTeR : 1 de- slro to make a fow remarks to you inrogard to my own position, and tho position of the city.

I know that work had falion’ off very much, hocauss that waa the caso in my own business, and that thoser- vices of men must nocessarily bo dispensed with, No buniness man can employ workmen when ba has noth- {ug for them fo do, 1My attention was not called totha condition of tho laboring classes until last Saturdy, when I heard thoro was to be s meeting, but lookad upon it 08 su ordinary sssomblogo. lind I known Bunday that thero was to bo such a number of our cit- izens congrogated at Turner Hall for the purposc for which thoy wero gathored together, I assury you, ?un. tlemen, I #hould certainly iavo beon thera mf'!n] . 1 should have felt it mK duty to go, at least to Ifsten to what was said, for X havo no doubt that many of them woro my political fricnds [applause), and I should bave csteomed 1t & groat priviloge to bo present, and perliaps o ndd to what was said by others in tho way of sympathy for them, I wish to” assure you and our frionds, for I do not look npon thom ng other than frionds, that T sgreo with you that something ought to hodons, and tliat my efforts shall not coase until sometliing s dono in behalf of thoso whom you rep- resent here to-night, [Applause,] MR, THOPFIAN, Ar, Hoffmau roplied as follows: 1 thouk you for the remarks you havo uttered.

Ald. Woodman stated that ho had facilities in the bakery with which he wns connected for bak- ing 10,000 moro lonves of bread per day than thoy were now baking, and ho wished to sy to the Jounci Ithat he would, for tho next sixty days, bake 10,000 loaves daily for tho mere cost of the flour and manufacture. This generous offer olicited loud npplause, and the Committee of Workingmon thoreupon ratired. J ——— OUTSIDE. WAITING ¥OR THIE VERDICT. During the absonce of the Committeo the mombors of tho procession onlivened tho scone with cries of o miscellancous character, but wore otherwise well-bohaved. A drunken young man with an sstonjsling plonitude of white shirt front and a lighted cigar, altompted sovoral times to nddress “thom_ from tho steps of tho Sclhloosser Bullding, but he was hooted down with cheerful prompt- ness overy time ho opened his mouth, and ufter awhile ho ubsided altogothor, From what could bo learned, it appears thnt the young man wauted to muko some_incondinry romarks about raiding on the Council Chamber, and the workingmen are deserving of praiso for shutting him up, HENRY LINCOLY'S SENTIMENTS, A man named Heury Lincoln manased to got o Lioaring uutil supplanted by Mr, Hoffmoau, 1o indulged in considerablo *swash” nbout his for- mer and preseat positions in lifo, and guve tho crowd to understand that ho did nob forgot that ho once bad to work for o living in Now England. Ho also esid that he was o{)‘pm«ad to oxempting churclies from taxntion when peoplo were starving for the necessaries of Jife, Lhero appeared to be a dis- position on tho part of Mr, Lincolu to exempt the people from tho churches, o8 he suid thero was no God but Humanily. is remavks, as a geaoral thing, did not meet with much favor, . REPORT OF THE COMMITTLE. Mr, Micliowslinaki, ouo of the Committeo,thon mounted the stops and said thut thoy had suc- coeded oxcellently woli at the Council Oiambor, and Mr, F. A, Holfmau, their spokesman before that body, would explain to thom what was dono. MR, HOFFMAN. Alr. Hoffman wag received amid tremondonn applauso by his fellow-workingmen. After tho tumult bad subsided, ho begau by saymg that he was desirous of reporting to them how ho and tho rest of tho Committoo wore recoived hfi the Council and (ho Mayor. That body ha: givon them excellont assurances, and they could 0 homo to their wives, childron, swoothcarts, fathers, and mothors, and-bring them the glad tidings that help was near at hand, Tho Coun- cil had promiged thom that thoy were rosdy to redeive their Committee at any timo. Io'had presented to tho Council tho resolutions passed by tho Inrgeat gathering over assembled in Chi- cago, and he would agsure thom on the honor of o man, that ho would not Jeave tho committeo- rooms of tho Council until they had received thoir rights, Dire nccossity Lad united thom into a grand brotherhood, and tho solid mass of humanity bofore him showed that thoy woro in eurnest in rogard to this matter. 'Tliey woro not beggars, and did not come as suoli., All that thoy askad for was work until noxt spring, whon they could again look out for themeolves and their famitics. Alderman Woodman, in the Council, bad promiged to furnish ali the bread wanted for tho noxt six months, and the cily could pay him when it had the moncy. [Great' applaugo, and threocheers for Woudman.] Avoico: * Wo'll give him Hosiug's placo it o keeps on,] The Mayor had also satd that, if ho hnd known of {he moot- ing, ho would havo boen prescut himself snd addrossed. them, Tholr action last night showed best what kind of mon they wero, Thoy wore Jaborers of peace and not of strifo. ON THE DEFENGIVE.

Business men must curtail their oxponsos, and roduca their lands, because they hove no money to moeot tho demands upon them., My conviction is that, tho city employs laborers, it should pay thom onough to save thom from want. If economy is indispensable, lot it not be oxorcised in reducing the wages of the workingmen.
