In order to in a measure obviate this, the residents alone Michigan avenue are circulat- ing subscription lists, that money may ve raised to pot that thoroughfare in a wholesome condition. The idea is) w clean and repair the street from Randolph street south to the boulevard, and thus make one continuous first-class drive to the South Parks. For this laudable object $1,500 has already been subscribed, and as the awork progresses it is expected that cnouch money will be contributed to carry on the im- ‘provement to its completion. In order to keep this drive, which leads directiy to the boule- vards, in condition, a petition is now being numerously signed, and will be presented to the Council Monday evening, asking that heavy teams, such as ice-wagons, etc, be excluded rom the thoroughfare.

Anumber of bills were audited and ordered paid, after which the Board adjourned. A VERY PLEASANT AND ENJOYABLE AFFAIR occurred last Thursday afternoon at Woodlawn jenic grounds, the occasion being that of a 1Wn party gotten upand arranged by Messrs. Bishop and Wood, aasisted by the Misses Of the Gannon, Grieves and Mrs. Lechler. Mr. Ramson, with his elegant ‘‘six-in-hand,” furnished the trans- portation from the ‘residence of the aforesaid ladies. Arriving at the grounds about 4 o'clock in grand style and full to overflowing with eager expectation for the evening, and after an hour's unalloyed happiness in the shape of games and atnusements of ever ind, swing- ing and ball-tossing, the shrill elarion notes of the dinner-horn sounded the signal for a sud- den lull in the sport, 2 geverai stampede en- suing, the result of which was the thronging of the table by the merry party. Ample justice , having been given {t, and the inner man being sufficiently replenished, schemes were at on concocted for further festivity. Dancing was chief, Pound’s celebrated orchestra and favorite waltzes gave harmony for 2, beautiful pro- gramine of fifteen numbers. When about half finshed, refreshments were again indulged in. After the last number had been whirled away, a thougnt of “Home, Sweet Home, prevailed, and the- ride thereto was the happy ending of a well-spent day. The whole affair was excellently managed. amongst those present were Mrs. Kate Lechier, Miss Tessie Grieves, Miss Minnie Grieves, Miss Jennie Leaman, Miss Annie Gardner, || Nellie Stitt, Miss Dollie Coombs.

COOK COUNTY AFFAIRS. 2 Arecent number of the Courier De ?Iilinois has the following: In illo tempore the affairs of Cook County were administered economically, but now it seeme us if the trustees of. those aifairs were bent to sack the money from the taxpayers to satisfy the hunger of their pets. Without speaking of ringy, or of ‘their echemes to pay extras and squander the money. look at the Board, Previously the Clerk himself performed the duties of Secretary of said Board (and very easily at that). Now there ia a deputy who receivea $3,000 a year to write the minutes of the meetings of the Commissioners, while the County Clerk bimeclf does nothing, and has two Private Secretarics for that at $1,200 each. . Tt appears that those Commissioners cannot write their fetter, for they have another clerk at $1. 400 fo make their writing—love-letters and others? Besides, an assistant is also given to the Clerk of the Board at $1,200. Said Board pay $7,000 to a County Attorney (the Couk County Judges ought to seek that office), and $1,200 to an assistant, Who, by the way, is or man ‘be an errand-boy who id to study law. 3 i i you go to the County Clerk's office you will eee the marriage licenee clerk with an azsietant, a cashier, und a treasurer; four functions which heretofore were eavily performed by one mun, witness Mr, Ch, Herrick and after him Mr. P. E. Gneroult, We are told that the hooks to be copied are vo much per word,—say half a cent. A large portion of those books ure written as jobs by the wife of the County Clerk, who hires copyists at one-half or one-third cheaper. Then there are half a dozen men employed at counting the words copied in those booke atS4 per diem, etc. We only state facts for the good people of Cook County to comment upon, If they are true, we wonder at the ingratitude of the taxpayers who always grumble at the extravagance of. their servants. Tbe clection is coming. Improve the opportunity, gentlemen, do not disturb those faith- ful employes of youre: remain at home; do not yote; and they will be happy. WEST TOWN BOARD. A meeting of the West Town Board was held last evening at Nos. 56 and 5S South Halsted street, Supervisor Pedersen presiding. There were present Justices Ingersol, Matson, Sheri- dan, and Clerk Tarble. The Supervisor was authorized to pay the As- séssor $1,000 on account. It was agreed to pay Chief-Deputy Chapman an increased compensa- tion of 50 cents a day. The Committee towhom wasreferred the Supervisor’s accounts and cash book reported that, upon a caretul search of the acvounts, it had been found that the total deficit of Henry Pilgrim’s accounts amounted to $350, and that the account of Avery Moore was short $6,381.06. ‘The Board adjourned ‘to one week from last evening. THE YACHT REGATTA was a failure yesterday, on account of variable aud light ‘winds, and, after sailing over a part of the course, the craft were withdrawn from the’ contest by the judges. The Ina was the only secoud-class yacht that started, the owners of the Frolic de- dlining to enter their vessei. In the third class the Goodenough, Peri, Lincoln Miller, and Ev- terprise started. The'craft named sailed from the stake-boat at the foot of Jackson street at a few minutes after 2 o'clock, and passed around the stake-boat off Twenty-second street, andgot as far north as the Crib, when the judges ended the race, it being then 5:30 o'clock, and there- fore impossible to sail over the course within the prescribed time. a ‘The Ben Drake was the judges’ boat, and car- ried a full load of passengers. The steamer Sherman was also filled with persons of both sexes, all anxious to sce the race, and thev were somewhat disappointed. (Quite 2 lurge crowd witnessed the start from the breakwater off the Exposition Building. THE BEAMAN SUICIDE. Coroner Dietzsch yesterday held an inquest upon Roscoe W. Beaman, chef proof-reader of the Times, who committed suicide by taking au overdose of chloral at his home, No. 6 Sangza- mon street. The following ‘note, addressed to Mrs. R. W. Beaman, 441 West Washington Street, city, his wife, which was found upon the person of the deceased, settles beyond dispute the manner of Roscoe W. Beaman’s death: LuELLa: If this experiment should prove aeuc- cess, will youask father to pay Dr. Bell his bill ‘Also, you will find my watch at Lenfstrey's, cor- ner Green and Madison. I owe him $10. See that he is purd,. and vend my watch te pa. My body can just as well as not go to tite dissecting- room. Good-by, darling; an explanation is not necessary. RW. B.

The brilliant collection of water-color paint- ings at the Exposition is indicative of a marked advance in our art knowledge. It is only a few years ago that water-colors were looked upon as clever trifles, possessing soine artistic merit, but valueless as compared with oil paintings. Picture-buyers did not believe that they possessed durability, though they could not but acknowledge that they exhibited not ouly brilliancy but delicacy. The times have changed. In England the professors ot the water-color art have beld a recognized position in the aesthetic world for over a genera- tion. The exhibitions of the London Water- Color Society have attracted each year just as much attention as those of the National Academy. In the Paris salon and at the annual exbibitlons of the art schools of the famous Continental cities as honorable a position is invariably assigned to water-colors as to oils, other things being equal. The great advancement of the art in England, which isin reality the home of the water-color, stimulated the Continental artists, and now the Roman school begins to vie with that of Lon- don. The frequent journeyings of our citizens across the water have more and more familiarized . the art-lloving portion of these tourists with the beauties and excellencies of the water colur, and there were few of these travelers who did not bring back with them some little gem, illustrative of out of the way nooks in England or the Continent. For the portrayal of transparent wrial effects aud the reproduction of architectural designs of quaint character, such as the old streets of ondon, Paris, or Rouen, water-color offers a vehicle fntinitely superior te oil. Afew years ago the New York colony of artists, more in the way of amusement than for the purpose of gain or fame, essayed a few ex- periments in the use of watercolor. In odd moments little bits of sketches, a woodland dell, sandy beach, rockbound coast, or still lite were dashed off fur studio gratification. Brother artists dropped in to pay a friendly visit. The water-colors were examined and adinired. Jt was finally resolved to form a water-color association. Most of the _ well-known Jandscape and marine painters in the Studio Building tendered their co-operation. Several of the genre and still-life limners took hold with enthusiasm, and the result is a Society in aflourishing condition. ‘The artistic worth is fully attested by the display in the Exposition, aie ig by far the ‘inst, that has ever been nin the West,and has not been si any in elther Boston or New York, Pee OY THE COLLECTION NUMBERS nearly 200. Gallery C contains 123, and the re- mainder are distributed in the _room devoted to bric-a-brac and Gallery F. Bricher, who has achieved av honorable position as au artist in oils, Is. represented by six water-colore, St. Michael's Mount (302) is a bold mass of rock towering up out of the sea, which beats on and. ever at its base. The buge stone masses with their dark fissures are treated fairly, | and — the. breaking waves, cap- ped ‘with foam. are reproduced with great fidelity. Sweet Suinmer-Time (419) Is the transcription of a morons day in early June, when the woods are in their brightest green. A lovely sward forms the immediate foreground, on which recline a davy of beautiful girls, who are luxuriating in the delicious zephyrs which are wafted through the trees. ‘There are five stud- ies by Kruveman Van Elten, An Evening Near Gloucester (307) isa portrays! of nature in its quict mood, treated with grace and feel- ing, At Leeds in the Catskills (348) is bold in hanuling,—the gray tints being uscd to the Best advantage. Paul Maury, a French artist, contributes five works, all of which are excellent. No.311 is a view of .an old street in Rouen; a cul-le-sac, at the end of which stands the Clifurch of Saint Maclau. The quaint architecture of the houses, with high gables, projecting upper stories, and narrow windows, and the picturesque’ adornment of the church, stand out in bold relief. Groups of people, clad in the costume of Normandy peasants, traverse the little strect, and give the. scene an animation without which it would be a bare succession of architectural eccentricities. Gerardo Bianchi represents the Roman school with the Mountebanks (423), in wlaeh an itin~ erant acrobat in the garb of his profession holds a hoop through which a couple of trained. dogs are performing some tricks. A sinall group of admiring children enjoy the perform- ance to their hearts' content. A splendid wood interior, by Hopkinson Smith 824), 18 eminently suggestive of Bryaut’s lines: In the darkling wood Annd the cool and silence, which the artist has used fora title, The subd- ject is treated with much sentiment; it is fuil of poetry, and the technique is admirable. The Od Mill (361) by the same artist, tells its sto of decay and desolation. ‘Ihe darkening shad- ows are thrown well to the foreground, the di- Japidated mili’ stands out in the iwilight, the mill-pond is without a ripple, and the spectator awaits iu expectancy the solemn hooting of the owl. Two crayon ‘studies, Bishop's Pass (577) and In the Wild Woods (578), are foreible exam- ples of what can be achieved in black and white, Acharmung little bit of rural England, a way- side inn (825), exhibits the love which Bellows has tor quiet nooks. Jules Nocl, who received a medal in Paris in 1858, is represented by a Brittany boat scene (338), a coice little bit of coast, with a halt-dozen fishing-smacks beached and waiting for the tide. Tne Homeless (331), by Koppes, is a painful transcription of hard times. .A weary and wan mother, who has tray- eled over bil and dale for MANY 4 WEARY MILE, has laid her little one to_ rest on a faded shawl, spread upon the grass. Near by stands the des- olate mother, with tattered dress and un- kempt har. Her eyes, turned heavenward, im- plore the protection of the Father for the child. Though the subject is a painful one to con- templhite, yet there is nothing at all repulsive in it. ‘The New Style (333) by W. S. Adams, isa trifling sketch of questionable taste. As the basis of acomuc illustration for a dash paper it bas a commercial value. Brazilian Orchids (341), H.A. Olcott, are drawn with great care, ing of ‘the color exhibits a retined taste. ‘The English school is represented by D. Law, who exhibits two views of Scottish scenet Ben Cruachan (344) aud Kitchum Castle (373). Both are exceedingly strong iu treatment. The aunospheric effects are full of nature, the dense, heavy masses of clouds. seem to move, and the mountain outlives in the distance gradually re- cede from view. W.T. Richards exhibits a foreible view of Narragansett Bay (856). ‘The heavy masses of ~—rocks. inthe foreground re covered = With moss aud lichen, while in the distance is seen nothing but the gentle ripple of the waters. The band- ling of the browns and grays is very elfective. Madame Teresa Hegg contributes a bouquet of roses (360) on which the morning dew still lin- gers. fuses and wild carrots (538), a rather un- poetical combination, is equally well treated, Michis sends a clever: genre, the Acolytes 365) representing two of these accessories of the chureh wrausling over a game of cards be- hind the altar. Campi's Chess Players (366) is well dra and pleasing in color, A Cape Cod Fisherman (368), by Wollin, is a cap- ital sketch of an old salt who knows ail about the weather. The head is well modeled and strong in color treatment. Baldwin is revre- sented by Desdemona’s House at Venice (371), which is-Jorid in color, weak in composition, and faulty in drawing. ’ Twelfth Night (379), by Wallin, introduces us to Sir Toby, Sir Andrew, and the Clown, three of the characters in Saakspeare’s comedy. The heads are well inodeled, and each is characteristic of the role his owner plays. Bellows, whose love of rural life is so strongly exhibited in all his paintings, contributes a very important work- Sunday afternoon m New England 880). Church is just over, the groups of worshipers are wend- home. In the distance are the Rows of elms the Puritan Sabbath, rickly Pears (332). by Frederica J. Fletcher, is brilliant in color, cor- rect in drawing, and full of nature. Williatn Magrath’s Crochet-Workers (87) is a_clever genre of two girls engaged on embroidery. The figures are well drawn, and the picture tells its own story. Pranishnikoff, a Russian artist, is repre- sented by a spirited painting of a not uncom- mon incident on the frontier of the Empire. A. couple of bold smugglers lave succeeded in crossing the line with a wagon-load of contra- band goods. ‘Two mounted revenue officers are in pursuit. The three horses attached to the smugglers? wagon are onthe full jump. One of the Iree-traders examines his pistol, and his face is full of determination to use it ratner than be captured. The horses are somewhat stacy, and one is out of drawing. Lincoln Cathedral (392) with rows of warehouses, cunal-boats, etc., in the immediate foreground, is the contribu- tion of Samuel Coleman. The scene is photo- graphic in details. The lights and shadows are arranged with slkill, and the Cathedral stands out boldly. TWO OF THE STRONGEST PICTURES in the collection are‘The Campagna, near Naples (396), and Evening in the Sahara (418),, by Gifford. Good perspective, capital skies and foregrounds worked up in browns and warin gray tints, are the striking features. The cheerless, rock-bound coast of the Gulf of St. Lawrence forins the subject of Nicol!'s con- tribution (401). The water is cold and clear, the rocks are uninviting, the atmosphere is crisp, and the sky is Uleak. “It isa just portrayal of picturesque inhabitableness. Planchi exhibitsa historical geure study of Galileo explaining to a Florentive grandee his astronomical theories (402). The former is filled with enthusiasm as he points to a map on the wall; the latter lounges in a chair, evident!y wearied of a subject. which is beyond his comprehension. The tone of the picture is rather florid. An Antwerp Interior (41), by De Luse, is more ambitious than suc cessful. Though’ the accessories are painted with care, the eifect generally is weak. Eugene Klimsch is represented by two exquisite littie genres, The Nouquet (424) and ‘The Breakfast (426). The figures are beautifully drawg, the draperies are handled with great care. Vel#et has its texture, and so has the silk. Joshua Wallis represents the old school of English water-col- ors. His contribution is two landscapes, Morn- ing (480) and Evening (427). Both give internal evidence of a close study of Ruysdael, the Dutch Jandscape artist. Flowers (561 and 553), oy Rivoire, of Paris, were exhibited in the last’ Sa- Jon, and attracted no little attention for their delicate coloring. Frank Jervis. of this city, is represented by Israel in Egypt (552), in which the Hebrew children are contributing their labor to the erection of obelisks, pyramids, temples, and other Esyptian architectural works. The drawing is spirited and full of action. An in- terior of an Ins! cottage ), by Magrath. th a buxom girl winding yarn for the central figure, which i3 carefully drawn, well modeled, and strong in color. ‘Two groups of panel pict- ures,—still life, fish, ducks, and game (56S and ee by Perelli, are brilliantly colored and well rawn, THE CITY-HALL. The Ncense receipts yesterday were about 50. Mr. Larrabee, chief of the Water Office, has gone with his family to Geneva Lake, Wis., for ashort stay. The City-Hall employes were made happy yesterday" by the receipt of their August salaries, aggregating $16,000. The Treasurer's receipts yesterday were $726 from the City Collector, $1,932 from the Water Department, and $3,588 from the Comptroller. During the past week the Building Depart- ment has issued thirty-four permits for build- ings, Whose aggregate estimated cost is $87,- 600. As predicted in Tne Trinusz of yesterday, the Wahl and Hutchinsou gang were paid off and discharged yesterday, and the deserving charity is temporarily at an end. Three new cases of scarlet fever. were re- ported at the Health Office yesterday. Only five deaths from that disease have occurred this Weck. The deaths from ther causes have been in the pagt week lesa in number than is usual at this season of the year. In fact, the past month has been a healthy one. Chief Fire-Marshal Benner returned yester- day from Galesburg, Ill., whither he went last Monday toattend the annual convention aud tournament of the State Firemen’s Association, of which body he is the worthy President. He has succeeded in having Chicago chosen as the place of the next annual exercises, aud a big time, though far ahead, may be expected. Other cases of small-pox are being found al- most daily. Yesterday four were reported. and one of them, at the southwest corner of Willow and Orchard streets, is ina part of the city where infection was not suspected. The other cases were at No. 613 North Ashland avenuc, two chutdren, and No. 14 McReynolds street, an old woman, who can not long survive tue attack. Bie was not, therefore, removed to the pest- louse. The following building-permits were issued Yesterday: Aaron Mf. McKay, three three-story and basement dwellings, 25x40 feet, Nos. 245, 950, and 252 Michigan avenue, to cost $2,100 each; Mig 8. Schwarz, a three-story and base- ment dwelling, 22x50 feet. No. 95 Sedgwick street, to cust $3,090; W.S. Thomson, two tivo- story aud basement dwellings, 21xo$ feet, on North Clark street, near Webster avenue, to cost $3,500 each, The Committee on Streets and Alleys of the North Division beld a meeting yesterday after- noon in the City Clerk’s office, and decided to recommend to the Council that Dayton street. from Willow to Centre street, be sewered. The matter of widening the sidewalk on Lincoln avenue, between Wells and Centre streets, was deterred for two weeks. .A petition for increas- ing the width two feet for the purpose of pro- tecting trees has been received from the resi- dents of the street. ‘The Comptroller yesterday issued revenue warrants atnounting to $9,700, and redeemed $248,000 of the popular loan, of which $300,000 fell due Sept. 1. The balance, $52,000, will be paid on demand. Comptroller Farwell has changed his tactics as regards loans, and will issue warrants for amounts as small as $100, whereas heretofore the smallest amount cer- tificated was $500. The change was probably made to allow those who have lost faith in savings banks a chance to invest. their surplus funds in the paper of 2 solid” corporation. ‘The rate of interest allowed is 6 per cent.

An examination of the pav- roll was nade, and it is more thun likely that the reduction of the salarics of many of the help will be recommended, it appearing that there has been a discrimination made in favor of the help thereby which they have been paid more than the help of other institutions. The report will not be ready for several weeks. Several members of the Committee on Public Charities, with whom complaint was lodged a few days ago about the quality of the food at the Insane Asylum, quictly looked into the complaint yesterday. They could see nothing wrong about the supplics, because, perkaps, + they were using the same, and from the same source, in their families every day. Dr. Cun- pingham, who had made the complaint, wa: vexed somewhat at the view they took of things, and gaid he was sorry that he had ever said any- thing, for the reason that the papers hud managed to get hold of it, The facts are, the food isnot what it ought to be, and the Doctor sis looking to being re-elected. He has disvover- ed his error, however. ANNOUNCEMENTS. A rrocressive meeting will be held at No. 239 West Madison street to-duy, at 3 o’clock, sharp. ‘The Rev. 8. J.

A meeting of the Republican Club of the Third Ward was held last evening at the corner of Wabash avenue and Tweaty-second street to elect oflicers for the campaign. Johu H. Clough was fo the chair and Mr. Custer acted as Secre- tary. On motion, 2 Committee was appointed to nominate officers. The Committee reported as tollows, and the report was adopted: President, A, N. Eddy; Vice-Presideats, R. H. White, 8. Halloc! George C. Benton, J. H. Clough, Cc. Greeley, PV. Fitz. patrick, James H. Reese, George Armour, George E, Wood, W. H. Carter, James Mc- Crombie,*Isaac Howland, Jacob Straider, E. L. Sumwalt, and T. E. Stacy; Treasurer, Dr. T. H. Patterson; Secretary, J. R. Custer; Executive Committee, C. M.. Henderson, D. H. Kenney, O. R. Keith, P. M. Almini, Franklin MacVeag! William Aldrich, and Murry Nelson; Finance Committee, Kirk Hawes, Jra W. Buell, and Eugene Cary. Mr. Clough was cailed upon to name the offi- cers to be elected: in the county this fall, which he proceeded todo. He called especial atten- tiou to the election of County Commissioners, and commented apon the importance of the ollice. He also referred to the offices uf County ‘Treasurerand County Clerk, and suid that the latter o} could not have been worse filled than it had been. The clected Chairman, Mr. Eddy, then took the chair. He fully indorsed what Mr. Clough had said with referenc & the oflice of Commis- sioner. He had served ob the late special Grand Jury, and, from what he had learned in that ca- pacity, was abundantly satistied that a more corrupt body than the present County Board never existed. Short addresses were made by Messrs. Buell ana Browa, reciting the importance of electing good men to the several offices to be filled this fall, which were well received. Mr. Tenney addressed the meeting, and took occasion to denounce the Bridgeport stinks, He thought the object of the Club was the public good, and he was in favor of the appointment of u committee of three to draft a memorial to the City Coun- cil protesting egainst the nulsance. There hud been some interest manifested on the subject, but all that had been accomplished so far was the licensing of the stinks, which he thought would multiply them. He elosed by moving the appoiutment of Messrs. Eddy, Buell, and Cul- bertson as the proposed committee, and, after the addition of his name, his motion prevailed. ‘The mecting anjourned for two ‘weeks, THE WORKINGMEN, A meeting of delegates from the various ward clups of the Workingzmen’s party was held last night at the West Twelfth Street Turner Hall. Philip Van Patten was in the chair. Each ward was represented by delegates. Alt re- ported progress, prospects, and the present con- Gition of the clubs. According to all reports the workingmen’s interests seem to be ina flourishing condition. The delegates reported the number of members in the various clubs, the meetings held, and the halls engaged. The announcement by the Chair that the Bohemians would-join the work- ingmen in a body, was received with applause. A proposition to etfect a union with the Labor League was broached and discussed somewhat disconnectedly. It was expected that a Com- mittee from the Labor League would be pres- ent, but they did not appear. The Chair said that be had communicated with the Labor League, and had told that organization that the workingmen were willing to unite with the League provided that they had specific rules aud specitic objects, and none of their demands conflicted with the demands of the workingmen, Mr. Morgan, who bad been a member of the Labor League, read a long communication con- cerning alleged corruption in the League. The. statements were matuly to the effect that the League was run by a ning of political tricksters, who cared naught for tue workingmen; that it did not represent forty-two labor organizations, as claimed by the members thereof: that it would not benefit the Workingmen’s party to have any connection with such an organization, ete. Mr. George Schilling, who had formerly be- longed to the League, delivered hitnself of opin- ions similar to those expressed by Mr. Morgan, but thought that the workingmen of all classes should have one bead,—a central power. it was then informally deaded, without vote, that it would be well not to unite with the eague. ‘The Chajr called attention to the fact that some weeks ago a meeting of the workingmen, which was to nave ucen held in Maskell Hall, was broken up by the police. He denounced the action as criminal, — outrageous, and unwarranted, and said that ao committee had called on the Mayor to demand the punishment of the offenders,—those officers who had broke up the meeting,—and had sub- sequently written a ietter to him. A reply had been received from the Corporation Counsel to the effect that no meeting of peaceable citizens should hereafter be interrupted. Dr. Butt moved that another committee be sent to demand the punishment of the afore- said offenders. ‘After some discussion, the Doctor’s motion was carried, and the Committee appointed, as dollows: ‘Messrs. Sibley, Stah!, and Schwerdt- ferger. ue man wanted to know if it would not be best to exclude reporters from their meetines. ‘The idea was quickly put down by the sensible ones. The meeting then adjourned. - A well-attended workingmen’g meeting was held at the corner of Chicago avenue and Franklin street last evening for the purpose of organizing a Sevenseenth>Ward Working- men’s Club, to work under the auspices of the Labor League. The meeting was called to order by Mr. Thomas McMahon, who stated the object of the meeting. Mr. Thomas Hannon was elected Chairman, On motion, the following gentlemen were ap- pointed delegates to Maskell Hall: John Dow- dall, Thomas McMahon, and William Kelly. ‘A committee of five twas appointed to nom- inate permanent officers and report to the next meeting. No speakers being present, an ad- Journment was SECOND WARD ‘ WORKINGMEN.” To the Editor of The Tribune. Curcaco, Sept. 1.—In last Tuesday's issue you give an account of a workingmen's meet- ing in the Second Ward. The President of the Club isa nice specimen of a workingman, in- deed. Heisa pawn broker, and, as we all know, they, a8 a profession, are not workingmen. Besides, he is now trying to get hold of the col- ered voters of that ward to join his club, he having such ardent love for them that, when one of them was nominated not long since, he said that they Were wot fit to sit or associate ‘with white men, and their place was down South under bondage. He wants to either break up the Re- publican party in that ward or wants to carry some point. His remarks were also senseless, and anybody hearing them would naturally suppose that he was listenjag to.a fool. The Treasurer of the Club is a bankrupt hat-dealer. Bill Baker, who bas had more than he should have bad from the Republicans, also made a little speech to ease hissore-headedness. Imagine the President of the Ctub and Bill walking and pulling together! ‘The visitors must be treated with respect, us they are baiting for big tish.
