rnoon the Croat Court —Yesterda; EXCURSION No. 2. EVENING STAR. LOcaL INTELLIGENCE, Boarp or ALDERMEN.—The Board met at the usual hour, yesterday afternoon, eight members present. Inthe temporary absence of the President, (Mr. Clark,) the | was called to order by the Vice President, (Mr. ‘earson ) s 1 The following communication was received m the Mayor: Scutuaen: The melancholy news has réached this city announcing the death of the Hion James Meacham, of Vermont, and I deem it a duty to the memory of the deceased to communicate the fact to you, because he : bas ever proved himself a warm friend of our city. Mr. Meacham was, during the session of Congress Isst past, the chairman of the Committee on the District of Columbia, and in that capacity exhibited an enlarged and philosophic mind, which was particular dis- played in the unusual interest he manifes in our public school system and the efforts he mae to enlarge itemeans cf usefulness. I bave — it eminently proper that the ; corporate authorities of Wasbington should baye some opportunity presented to them of expressing their sense of the great loss our city has sustained in the demire of this good and truly great man. 5 Very respectfully, your obedient servant, W. B. Maaruper. The communication was referred to a special committee consisting of Messrs. Smith, Ruff and Moore. Biils for the relief of Peter Littie, Robert Downing, and Jobn Hammond were passed. Mr. Roff, from school committee, presented a new Dill (to supply the place of the one vetoed by the Mayor) in relation to the ap pointment of sub-assistant teachers of the public schools, and to equalize the salaries of teachers in the male primary schools; which was A bill was passed appropriating for paying the Hy sy of the special election in the Sixth Ward. Mr. Smith introduced a resolution allowing W.C Manahban the use of the Centre Market espace for a circus company; adopted. Abill making an appropriation for the re- lief of Henrietta Shryer was p2ssed; also a bill for the relief of Joseph Ratcliffe. Mr Moore called u eos appropria- tion bill. Mr M. addressed the Board at some length, coutending that the rejection of a nom- inee of the Mayor by the Board of Aldermen did not cutoff the salary of such nominee, and fortified his positions by citing from the de- cisions of the most eminent judicial authorities Mr. M proceeded to define what constituted a session of the Councils and what a recess Two years ago, he said, nominations were male by Mr. Towers which were rejocted by the Board, were renominated by Mayor T, and finally confirmed by the Board ; and then no objection Wes made to paying the salaries He concluded by expressing the opinion that the Mayor had not acted beyond law and pre- cident. Mr Busey followed, arguing that the ad- jeurnment of the Board from one week to another did not constitute a recess. Accord- ing to the interpretation of the gentleman (Mr Moore) the rejecting power of the Board was perfectly nugatory it the Mayor could con- tinue a rejected numince in office. Mr. Busey offered resolutions of inquiry ad- dressed to the Corporation Attorney, aa tw what constitutes an officer of the Corporation’ Whether the interval between the reguiar meetings on each Monday, after the 4th Mon day in June annually, authorized by a law of the Corporation, constitutes a recess in the sense in which it is employed in the charter, and if so, does not any office which may be filled by the appointwent of the Mayor during such recess ‘until the end of the ensuing : session’ become vacant unless such appoint- mest shall be nominated to the Board of Al- dermen “ at the then ensuing session,”’ and if the office thus becomes vacant can it again be filled without the conzent of the Board of Al- dermen? In the event of a nomination by the Mayor, and the rejection of the the Board ef Aldermen, aud a sepetition of the same from week to week is the Corpora- tion bound fur the payment of the salary to said nominee? Does a nomination by the Mayor entitle any person to the ealary affixed Ww the office to which he may be nominated ? The resolutions of inquiry, after some de- bate, were adopted. Resvlutione in relation to the death of Hon James Meacham were receivei from the lower Board and adopted JOINT MEETING. The two Boards now asrembled in joint meeting for the election of Police Magistrates. Mr. Busey offered the following resolution, which was ad>pted: Resolved, That in the opinion of the joint meeting any Justice of the Peace who may be elected to the ¢ffice of Police Magistrate by the Board of Aldermen and Commun Council in joint meeting assembled, becomes incompe- tent to discharge the duties of the office of Po- lice Magistrate at the expiration of his com- mission as a Justice of the Peace, unless it eball have been renewed prior to or at the time of its expiration, and that to render him again competent to discharge the duties of the office of Poiice Magistrate he must be re-elect- ed by the Board of Al@ermen and Common Council in j int meeting assembled. The baliot for Police Magistrate in the First district having been taken, it was announced by the tellers (Messrs. Busey and Jefferson) that Samuel Drury had received 15 votes, John Jones 4, blank 7; and Samuel Drury was accordingiy declared elected In the Second district, Paul Stevens, jr., received 16 votes, and John D, Clark 11; uod Mr. Stevens was declared elected In the Third district, John 5.

The Court met at the usual hour this morn- ing, and the trial of Sullivan, char; with the murder of Kohrman, was resumed. __ The District Attorney opened for the United States, and was followed by Mr. Martin for the defence. . Dr. Johnson Eliot testified to having exam- ined the body of Kohrman at Beckert’s, near the Park, on the th of July; he had found a wound on the back of deceased made by some sharp instrument, which had Sraes8y pro- duced death in a short time ; witness described the direction and appearance of the wound; decezsed was a medium sized man, age about 35 years. A. E. L. Keese testified to hearing a cry of murder at the affray where Kohrman was killed, and that on going to stop the fighting he saw something glitter which he took to be a knife; deponent went to the bar-room to get a@ pistol, and on his way thithe i i ways, saw Sullivan’s arm thrust; thought it was Sullivan's arm which guve the thrust from the clothes worn by Sul- livan; saw no knife gt that time. Dpon the couclusion of Mr. Keese’s testi- mony S. Heisman was called to the atand, but being unable to give his evidence in English an interpreter was sent for, and the Court took a recess After the fecess this witness was examined through an interpreter, and was on the stand as our report closed. NationaL Tneatre.—Thore was a large gathering last night of our theatre-going peo- le to welcome the return of the Florencer m their triumphant career on the other side of the Atlantic It too often happens that American actors of talent are not Tecog- nized at their true value at home until they receive the stamp of Old World approbation ; but this cannot be said in view of the enthu- siastic reception now given to Mr. and Mra Florence, since every Boa knows that they were universal fuvorites thevaphout our wide Union prior to their departure for Europe. However, considering the severe ordeai American actors are compelled to pass before English audiences, and in running the gaunt- iet of criticism no ways kindly predisposed towards American talent, it is naturally a matter of pride to the friends of Mr. and Mrz. Florence that they have not only disarmed criticism, but compelled the warmest admira- tion while on the London boards and wherever they appeared during their tour. The bill offered by them to-night is a re- markable rich one, as will be seen by the ad- vertisement in another column, and cannot fail to give satisfaction. Menascuoiy Accrpent ~ About five o’clock on Sanday afternoon, a youth named John Tueil was drowned while crossing the Eastern Beanch, opposite the Navy Yard Tuell, with other boys in a boat, was sitting in the stern of the bvat, and falling in the water back- wards is supposed to hate gotentangled in the grase at the bottom of the'river, as he did not rise to the surface again, and as the body has not yet been recovered. Store Breaxixc —On Sunday night the grocery store of Mr. R. Knight, in the Sev- enth Ward, was entered and robbed of money and some goods; and Jast night tbe store of Mr John Hickey, on Seventh street, was robbed of various articles. The robbery of Mr. Knight's store was perpetrated, it is =up- posed, by boys, and that upon Mr. Hickey s store by acolored man. None of the thieves have been arrested. Ax Omission —An error crept into the com- plimentary card of Commodore Forrest, from the heads of the different departments of the Washington Navy Yard, recently published in the Star We refer to the omission of the name of our fellow-citizen, Mr. Theodore Freibus, who, having been called on tothat end. cigned it. The mistake occurred ere it reached our band, and was evidently the result only of an error in copying the original paper. Pearce (aDLey, arrested on charge of ae- saulting and booting: James Hiser on Sunday night, was dismi yesterday, the evidence being insufficient to convict him. Hiser is improving. = Tae EXAMINATION into the firemen’s late difficulties took place yesterday afternoon at the Mayor’s office, but no decision was ren- dered, we believe, by the Mayor.
