‘9 | —— | } Tas Mrstery CLearep Ur.—It will doubt- less be a relief to some good folks, and a dis- ssecennene to others, to know that the m: terious New York semi-Washington abortion case has been cleared up—the body identified, and our city relieved of either the honor or the odium of having given birth to the fair but guilty and unfortunate victim in this start- ling tragedy. The name of the deceased turns out to have been Elizabeth Morris, in- stead of Smith, and the remains were identi- fied by a sister, who resides in Brooklyn, and with whom the deceased boarded formerly, while she worked at the sewing machine es- tablishment of Mr. Wilson, in Broadway. Some time since the ager Soire —S oe city by Mr. Wilson to give instructions toa aumbar of who had purchased sewing machines of him, and while here she fell a victim to some villain’s arts, and to hide her di returned to New York city, and, aking medical relief at the establishment of Crocker, came to the terrible end before chronicled. Those of our citizens who saw this young woman while she was in Washington, will remember her as having a very pleasing face and figure, and asprightly air. She was generally known by the name of “the sewing irl.’ a Tracers’ Association held a meet- ing to-day in the apparatus room of the Smithsonian [nstitute. This association holds a meeting on the last Saturday of each month, for the disoussion of questions, and reading of essays and papers, and these are sometimes rather to abstruse to be popularly attractive, they would yet be found of much interest to a large number of citizens, who are, perhaps, not aware of the meetings ot this association or its object.

Lloyd was appointed secretary pro tem. Reports from committees being in order, Mr Chase reported the following series of res- olutions, and which were ado; and ordered to be published in the city papers and the “ Musical Pioneer’’ : Regarding music as “the divine art,” an emenation of harmony and leve from the Supreme Being, dispensing blessings to all mankind; and believing that man has nomoral sight to allow an ennobling faculty to remain insetive ; therefore, Resolved, That we consider it not only the privilege, but the duty, of every perzon to be- come, as far as may be, thoroughly acquainted with the fundamental principles. Resolved, That we heartily approve of the holding of musical conventions as being em- inently calculated to ereate and maintain an interest commensurate with the importance of the art, and the most efficient means of culti- vating a state and taste in execution, without which, “ music hath no powers to charm.” Resolved, That the success of the National Musical Convention, now in session at the halls of the Smithsonian Institute, has exceeded our most sanguine expectations, not only in the deep interest manifested by its members, but inthe amount of practical information derived, and the general improvement in the science of music. Resolved, That to Prof. I. B. Woodbury our thanks are eminently due for his efficient labors in this Convention—for that kind and courteous demeanor which has endeared him to us as a friend and teacher; and that his re- fined taste, his musical skili, and acknowl- edged scientific eminence, entitle him to an equal rank with the most accomplished pro- fessors of the art. Resolved, That we recommend to choris- ters, teachers, and all others interested in music, the use of that excellent collection of Scpeme Court.—Yesterday, John G. Vose, Esq_, of New York. was admitted an Attorney aa Counsellor of this court. No. 121. Mary Ann Conner, a/ias Mary Ann Van Ness, plaintiff in error, vs. Samuel A. Peugh’s Lessee. The motion to dismiss this sacred music prepared by Prof. Woodbury, | writ of error was argued by Mr. Lawrence. of “The Cythara. P Having used it in the two | counsel for the defeniant ‘a error, in support sessions of this Association, we are induced to give it the highest rank, not only as an ele- mentary treatise, but as a compilation of su- perior excellence. Resolved, That the thanks of this Conven- tion are eminently due, and are hereby ten- dered to Prof. F. J. Cooke of N. Y., for the valuable services rendered during its se:sions, and that in bim we recognise a young man of more than ordinary musical talent, destined to occupy an enviable position in the musical world. Resolved, That to Miss A. M. Farnesworth we return our heartfelt thanks for the dee interest given the Convention, by her attend- ance, and valuable services, and that in her we behold united, the amateur and artist. Long may she live to discourse sweet music to her admirers Resolved, That the thanks of this conven- tion are due, and are hereby tendered to Pro- fessor Henry for the use of this hall. Resolved, That the thanks of this conven- tiom are due, and are hereby tendered to the President and Secretary for the efficiency with which they have discharged the duties of their respective offices. Resolved, That in closing this convention we cannot take the parting hand without re- turning to the citizens of Washington our earnest thanks for the hospitality shown us in opening their doors, and making us welcome at their homes. Resolved, That this convention organise it- telf into a permanent national association for the purpose ci uniting the ‘ lovers of song’’ in one ‘common brotherhood.” The committee on the constitution made their report, which, after some discussion, was adopted. That portion of it relating to the duties of officers, &c., we are compelled to omit, owing to the crowded state of our col- amns. The articles of general interest are as follows - “Art. 1. This association shall be known as ‘ The National Musical Association.” “Art. 2. The object of this association shall be the general improvement of its members in the science of music by the holding of mu- sieal conventions, the introduction of superior musical works, and by such other means as in convention social it may deem advisable. “Art. 3. All persons who are duly accred- ited members of any musical society, or asso- ciation, or choir, or are of known musical abilities, and all clergymen approving of the objects of thiz association, can become mem- bers by signing the constitution, thereby vir- tually agreeing to abide by its regulations, and by such by-laws and resolutions, dc , as may from nom — mmenged:i* * of the motion.

The majority report of the Commit- tee on Credentials, admitting the Edie delega- tion, was adopted—88 to 45. This result oc- casioned the wildest excitement on the part of Southern members.

Mr. Brooks, of New York, moved a recon- sideration of the vote upon the majority report, 8) far as related to the contested seats of the Pennsylvania delegation, but the motion to lay the proposition on the table was carried by a large majority. The convention meets again at ten, to-day. A large portion of the Southern members retired before the vote was taken, and a split is anticipated at the next sitting.
