Ar tHe Meeting, held last night, of the Board of Directors of the Merchant’s Exchange a committee was appointed, consisting of one member from each Ward, which was in- structed to urge upon the City Councils the qommnity for the erection of @ new markct- use. The propriety of petition Congress for the right to sell the site of ced Centre Market building and locate the market fur- ther down upon Louisiana avenue was dis- cussed at length, as was a resolution | i pra the sale of the City Hall and Judiciary Square to Government. No definite action waa taken upon these points, and they will — vceupy the attention of the Board at next meeting. The following are the officers elected : President—Samuel Bacon; Vice President— James B. Dodzon; Secretary—Jobn F. Ellis; Treasurer—Wm Wall; Board of Directors— Walter Harper,S P Franklin, T. J. Fisher, J. B. Clagett, A. EB. Perry, T. Parker, Wm. F. Bayly, George Burns, B. F. Morsell, Wm. B. a, Benj. Beall, Hudeon Taylor. Fause.—The local editor of the Evening Star, of Thursday last, speaking of the ‘tri umph of the friends of the constitution over that party of sectionalism and disunion,”’ says if that party (the American) had triumphed, it heaviest blows would have been aimed at the prosperity of our beloved city.”” The lo- ca izer is talking about that of which he knows nothing. —Organ of yesterday. Pshaw! cur seasitive neighbor is eering quite needlessly to fit a cap to ‘ Saw’s’”’ hea’ several sizes too large for that defanct worthy. We had not tt ghtest idea of wasting our time in calculations on possibilities so remote as to what the Know Nothings might or might not have donein the event of their triumph. Oar allusion was to a much more formidabie opponent to the Democracy than Hindvoism. We trast Sau does not deem the epithet, “that rty of sectionalism and disunton,”’ ro pecu ani personal as to insist upon appropriat- z it. Caytre Manket.—The supply in all the branches of the market wae plentiful this morning The following list of prices we ob- tained from the dealers: Beef—fresh, per 1b., 12al5e, salt 8al0s, dried 12al5e; veal 10a 120; mutten and lamb 10c; pork—fresh 12jc, salt 10>: bacon—hamas and sides 12214>, shou!- ders $al@c; cheese 12c; butter 25a3lc; x doz , 3ic; turkeys, exch, Sla$2, chickens Ie, ducks 37¢c, gee Sc.n31; wild ducks, per pair, 50c.a$2; apples, per peck, 25a50c, Potatoes 31c, swoet potatoes 50c, turnips lfc, onions 37c, parsnips 25c; cabbage, each, 6: 10s: carrets, per bunch, 42, celery S8al2c; Tabbits, each, 15a252; hominy, per quart, 6c, chestnuts 12%; fresh fish, per bunch, I2ia37ic. Country pork is plentiful, and selling rapidly at $7a$7.50 per 100 Ibs. Hay $1.12:a$1 25 er ewt. The hay scales, we notice, have een removed from the south to the east front of the square. Drsorperiy Czowns.—Complaints having been made in various parts of the city that gangs of young men and boys frequently con- gregate on the Sabbath day and at night in tront of the dwellings of respectable citizens, using profane end indecent language, and be- having generally in an improper manner, the Chief of Police has directed the officers to in- Vestigate the matter. Already some twent: warrants have been issued, some of which have been served, and the eascs are to be tried. The officers have determined, in those eases where complaints are made, that the complainants shall testify, under oath, to what they know, and not complain without showing reaton for it. Crimixat Court—Mr. Ratcliffe, in behalf of the jurors, addressed the court this morning on the subject of the per diem for jurors, and its payment for those days on which jnrors were not actually in attendance at the court. Judge Crawford replied, in a few remarks, expressing his wish that the jurors might ob- tain all they ask; but at the same time stated the language of the law bea: upon the matter, beyond the provisions of which the court could not go. The District Attorney, Mr. Key, was do- tained from the court by sickness, and at noon there had been no jury trials. Batt or tae Jonty Civs—On Monday evening next comes off the grand annual bail of the Jolly Club at the Washington Assembly Rooms. Tho remarkably fine cotillon parties given last scason by this Club e the sub- ject of general remark at tie time, and popularity thus aehieved will doubtless secure an overflowing attendance at their comin ball. Withers’ fine band has been engaged, and in all other respects provision has been made by the indefatigable committee of ar- rangements for the fuliest enjoyment and com. fort of the guests. Tax Goosr Question —Last night a crowd of witnesses were summoned before Justice Donn to testify to the larceny of certain geese from John Collins The accused was a Mra. Delany, but the evidence instead of proving the larceny, mystified the case, and made it necessary to dismiss the party. The question is not yet settled, although this is the second or third warrant growing out of this larceny. A time was fixed for a hearing on Monday, when the Justice will decide whether it is proper to issae a warrant for other parties. Nationat Tasatre.—On Monday night the talented young tragedian, Edwin Booth, ap- — in that intensely thrilling drama “ The ron Chest,”’ founded upoa one of the most powerfully written novels in the Baglish lan- guago. Mr Booth’s masterly rendition of the part of Sir Edward Mortimer during his late engagemen’, created a great desire to him agaia in the character. Wecan promise our readers who visit the National on Monday night a truly intellectual performance. Crimixat Covat.—The following persons persons were sentenced yesterday, they hay- ing been convicted of the crimes with which they were charged : J Small and J Gavin, larceny; five cases, sentenced to six months in the county jail and four years in the penitentiary. Thos. Ker- nan, larceny; one year in the penicentiary. Jeo. Smith, larceny; one yearin jail. Jno.
