ees Sl LOCAL INTELLIGENCE. A Ssxiots Arrray.—This morning, about 8 o’clock, Mr. J. McLeod Murphy, formerly of the Navy, but now a civil engineer, employed by the Goverament at the Brooklyn Navy Yard, entered the room occupied by Hen. Daniel E. Sickles, (at W illards’ Hotel.) who was awakened by a knock at the door, and rising from bed, ope: it on be. tng informed by @ servant that a gentleman de- sired to see him (Mr. Sickles.) Onentering the room, Mr. Murphy, announcing his {ntention to be tosettle with Mr. S., drew off to strikeat him (undressed) with the butt of a small mwhide he carried; which was caught and wrest- d from him by Mr. Sickles, who struck him three or four rapid blows with the whip. In the n time, Mc. Murphy struck Mr. Sickles a se- vere blow in the face, with a ring, key, or some- thing that cut him severely, without doing hima serious injury. ‘They were alone in the room, and struggled there for some time, until Mr Sickles, having his assailant by the throat, relinquished his and tmrned him out of the room, previously unlocking the door which he (Sickles), had locked imme- diately after Mr. Murphy rushed into it evidently with a host.le pur We hear that there had been, in the course of the week, a correspondence between these ies, relative to alleged efforts of Mr. Sickles to induce the appointment of another in place of Mr. Mur- phy, ending in a challenge from the latter,which was declined on the ground that the circumstan- ces on which it was predicated did not justify its acceptance. MEETING OF THE MEacHANTs’ AssoctaTION. Pursuant toa call of the Secretary, a meeting of the Association was held last night, at the rooms ever the Savings’ Bank. The Secretary not being present, Mr. Thomas J. Fisher was elected Sec- retary pro tem. Mr. Wall stated the object of the meeting; which was, to endeavor to do away with the erroneous prejudice at present existing abroad in relation to the late sickness at the National Hotel. He said that the feeling had gone all over the country that the hotel sickness was contagious, and that the city of Washington was infected with general epidemic. That these rumors were vundiess therecould be no do The business interests of the city were deeply involved by these Teports. ‘The report of the rd of Health in re- tation to the matter had been set at naught by the press of the city, and the public journals of the whole country were teeming with marvellous and frightful rumors of the most ridiculons character. it was hich time that the matter was investigated, in order to restore to the country confidence and assurance of safety in visiting the city. Mr. Dodson pointed out the way to bring about the desired effect, which was to inform the pub- lie abroad of the present healthy condition of the show that the late disease was confined within the National Hotel. opinions were expressed by Dts. Du- haimei ptisel . d Breed Dr. Breed aw y Medic: opinion that the cause f the late disea: tmospheric, and might ak ont agai « caused by the foal air of > sewers. It, although suppressed for atime, ht break out in the middle of sammer. He umended a farther investigation. Dr. Duhamel rejected the idea of the reappear- ance of the disease in very strong terms After considerable debate the following resolu- ton was passed : Reseired, That a committee of three be ap- ointed to draft such resolutions in regard to the “National Hotel sickness as they may deem neces- sary, and have them publi-hed inthe newspapers of the city Messrs. W. Wall, Jas. B. Dedson, and S. P- Franklin were appointed to serve on the commit- tre; and the meeting adjourned. 1 t " r From rue River —There is no news of im- portance from the Potomac this moring. The river iscovered with drift wood, brought down by the flted occasioned by the late rains. The tiver shores are lined with persons who have left their usual occupation for emer profitable one ef wood fishing. If the shad and herring yield isa failure, there is an abundance of drift wood te-day. The current is rushing past the Long Bridge with great velocity, and there is prospect of its continuing this way for several days. he eld authorities in such matters, say that this freshet will be the signal for a general cutting out of the fishermen. The current sends the drift wood throngh the nets carrying them away. The surface of the wateris black with this rubbish. Yesterday evening a sloop came up to the Wash- ington draw of the Long Bridge. with S00 bush- «ls of wheat, for the use of the new flour mill of Messrs. Coltman & Duncanson The stockholders of the Washington and Alex- andria Steamboat Company went down to the White House to-day, accompanied by several of the Corporation officials, invited guests, and oth- ers, on a grand shad plank perty The Schooner Mott Bedell discharged 50 kegs not in invoice—for Maj Beni, at the Arsenal. Sehooner May hauled up to the wharf, yesterday, but has not commenced 0 unload yet. Schooner Erin, Captain Lear, came up to Laimb- oil's wharf this morning, to be repainted and un- dergo thorough repairs. She belongs to St. Ma- Ty"s county The news from Alexandria is contradictory. One account states that there is no fish in market, and another still later brings news of several arri- vals of vessels with full loads. Fish are quoted : shad SItal2, herring $10.50. The Thos. Collyer brought up this morning, for Messrs. J Giddy and J. Gumby, of Baltimore, "3 tabs of shad.“ The Washington alse brought up the same number of tubs, consigned as above. Youxe Mens’ Curistian Assoctation.—On the 2st of May the Fourth Annual Convention of Young Mens’ Christian Associations of the United States and British Provinces will be held at Ricb- mond, Va. The Association in this city elected delegates to this meeting last evening. The num- her of representatives was fixed at ten, although more than that number were chosen, us it is probable all will not be likely to go. of those elected are ax follows Wm. J. Rhees, O. C.

Carpenter, Mitchel iller It may be proper to state that the Associati this city has never been disturbed by the discus- sion of any agitating questions foreign to the ob- jeets it has in view, and that such subjects are catirely excluded. It is quietly but steadily pur- suing its way, and is as prosperous and useful now as at any former period. its Library now contains about 2.000 vol es, and that the reading room is the largest and best in the city Mretixe ix THE Finst Warp —A large meet- of the citizens of the First Ward, opposed to > Know Nothing party, was held last evening in the ball of the Western Hose company to make nominations for an Alderman and Councilmen On motion, Wm. T. Dove, Esq., was called to the chair, and James W. Coombs appointed sec- retary. On inotion. Geo. W.

The following gentlemen were elected delezates te the city convention: Messrs. W. KE. Spalding, Andrew Carroll, B. Random, C. F. Cunmins and Terence Drury. Tue Mepicat Association —The Medical Association of the District of Columbia held ‘heir semi-annual meeting at the Washington In- iirmary yesterday aQernoon. The principal busi- bess transacted was the election of new officers, *s follows : Dr. Wm. Jones, President; Dr. Joshua The names tn; me Riley, Vice President; Dr. James E. Morgan. Treasurer; Dr. D. R. Hagner, Secretary; and Des. Miller. Young, Burrows. Smoot, and Lieber- man. counsellors.

M., at the same place. for the estab- lishment, or rather tevivification, of a ** Patho- ical Society,”* the object of which will be the ussion of medical science. —Uaion. Tue Water Worxs —At the office of Captain Meigs more than 150 contractors have sent in bids for the several branches of the new Water Works. ‘The amount of capital which they represent is es- ‘mated at $10,000,000. There is every prospect ‘hat the works will progress during t) coming <ummer far beyond general expectation. ‘The seareity of laboring hands for the work is in a great measure obviated by the contractors bring- jng laborers with them, still there fs plenty of ‘© be had by application to the several con- *s who are not already supplied with a suf- tent complement of men for the work. Usiten States Pouce Reronts — Before Justice Donn. —Rebecca Ross and Emily Tenau, hoth colored, were arrested by Officer Parham, — assault and threats made towards each other. hey both having been engaged in the laundiess business, came in contact with each other's cus- combat followed.

Mull Weare informed | | | Nationa Musicat Assoctation.—The after noon session yesterday was taken up by the Con- vention in singing the Principal choruses of the cantata, entitled the « ymakers, composed by Prof. Geo. F. Root. The ‘ice of these cho- ruses was continued up to the time of adjourn- ment. Previously, however, to the choral prac- tice the Association was drilled in. the exercises of the singing school. The lecturer gave some examples of style illustrating in a py and ef- fectual manner the subjects under consideration. The Evening Session met at § o’clock, some two hundred members being present, and a large and brilliant audience of s) ators, who seemed to enjoy the entertainment Shree & Examples in chanting and the general rules fo be observed in the proper rendition of church Regreae were ‘iven, and the Convention took up the choi in the ‘- Haymakers,’’ and continued in the prac- tice of the various choruses up to 10 o’clock. This morntng the session was occupied pretty much in the same manner. Prof. Root gave some examples of musical composition, showing tne roper adaptation of music to the words in a way ‘o bring eut the true sense of the poet. That style of church music which is denominated pretty, without being at pits ge riate to the theme, was contrasted, with g1 effect with the true and simple adaptation of the feeling of the t to the music. The Convention will os 4 closing concert to- morrow night, at the ‘ithsonian Institution, which will, no doubt, be a brilliant affair. Circuit Court—Judges Dunlop and Merrick. King vs. Kirkley—This was an application made by a colored woman named King to have the in- dentures cancelled, which were made to the de- fendant by Justices Donn and Goddard of her two sons, by and with the consent of their father a few weeks before his decease, he joining in said in- dentures and becoming a party thereto. Mr. Car- rington, who appea: for the petitioner, asked for the cancelling of the indentures on the ground, first, that the 6th section of the law granting the power to Justices of the Peace inthe recess of the Orphan’s Court to bind out SR prentices uires that the parent in thirty days thereafter shall en- dorse his or her approval in said indentures, other- wise the indentures are void; said indentures failing to have said endorsement. The Court over- ruled this point, on the ground that the father joining in the indenture, obviated the necessity of the cndorsement. Mr. Carrington then brought witnesses to prove that Kirkley when he had said boys indented to him, made an agreement to pay to their father about the sum of £250, all of which he has failed to pay, and that the indentures require that they shall be taught the business of Le fee and plastering, and to receive good treatment, instead of whichthe has been derelict in every particular, not being engaged in any business, and unable to comply with the terms of the indentures. In this view of the case the indentures were can- celled. A Me&etine of THE Boarp oF MANAGERS oF THE Wasuincton NationaL Monement Soct- ETy was held yesterday afternoon, at the room of their Secretary, City Hall. Although the meet- ing had been duly advertised in the city papers by the Secretary, there was noquormm. ‘The fol- lowing members were present: Messrs. Magrn- der, Knight, Ellis and Polk. The members con- versed about various matters for some time, and finally Mr. Knight was dispet~hed to the office of the Treasurer, tir McCalla. witha view of bring- ing that gentleman into the meeting in order to make a quornm. After Mr. K. departed on his errand tothe Trea- surer, those present,were favored with some lugu- brious remaiks by Judge Ellis, who presides over the Washington Monument Association, the Organ newspaper, and other hopeful eaterprises. The Judge seemed to feel particularly bilious in e manner in which the -‘ variety press’? ity have overhauled the doings of the Monument Board; bat his sentiments were ex- pressed with so much more bitterness than clear- ness, that it was not easy to say precisely what he was driving at. Half an hour passed away in this manner, when Mayor Maztuder made the motion to adjourn to next Tuesday evening at 5 o'clock p. m.; which motion was carried. ‘The Monument stil! remains unfinished. Gaszynsxi’s May Festivat came off last night, at the Washington Assembly Rooms, in delightful style, indeed. In the brilliant gather- ima ue noticed not a few of the most prominent and fashionable personages of the city, many of them gratified spectators of the proficiency of their own children who have been pupils of Prof. Gaszynski. At eight o’clock the graceful May Queen, Miss Blanche Kearney, of conte was crowned, and the childrens’ fancy dances entered upon. The costumes of the performers were most rich and tasteful, and were carried out with great ac- curacy of detail. The following dances were admirably done, indeed. and in several instances the peformers were ar showered with boquets by their admirers: The Cracovienne, Miss Guthrie; Pas de deux, Misses Josephine and Christie Maynard ; La Saltarella, Miss Alice Poulton; the Craco- vienne, Miss Nellie Maynard; the Highland Fling, Master E. Wilson; the Medley nee, Miss Mary Vischer; the Cachuca, Miss Mary McGuire. In the course of the evening, Esputa (whose fine band furnished the evening’s music) exe- ented in admirable style a solo on the Saxe horn from the opera of “ Lucia.** Harp Party.—About three o’clock yesterday @ party of four persons, apparently intoxicated, were seen by officer Keese stoning a colored man who was painting a house in the First Ward. He went to Justice Drury’s and obtained the aid of police officer Daw. Upon their return the rioters came out of a grocery store kept by Mrs. O'Keefe. One of them, named Parris, took up a bundle of brooms, and the proprietress su posing he was going off with them, seized hold of the brooms One of the gang thereupon took a stone weighing near thirteen pounds, and struck her on the head asevere blow. The officers pursued them and ar- rested one of them named Dennis Magee; another was £0 closely followed to the Rock Creek shore iter Keene that he threw off bis coat and es- ca by taking toswimmingover. Inthe k- ets of this coat the officer found six heavy ates: being, literally, a “pocket full of rocks.’’ Par- ris, who went to Justice Drury’s office to see how his friend Magee fared on his trial. was hauled up on his own account and held to bail for Court. & A Jan ix rue Cottector’s Oreice.—Yester- day morning, we hear, Mr. W. J. Donoho, the city tax clerk, on entering his room at the City Hall, found thetax books for 1556 missing, and hav itd occasion to use them he repaired to the Collector's office where they had been taken, and ina respect- ful manner applied for the books, saying that it was proper hag should be in bis office, where ac- ress could be had to them with all the requisite ities. General MeCalla thereupon picked up a hage pair of office tongs and brandishing them vigor- ously proclaimed that whoever took the books from him must do so by superior force. Mr. Donoho calmly advised his heated assail- ant not to use the tongs, and after a season these fireside indispensables came down, but not on the tax clerk’s head The matter rests here. The Collector retains the books, and claims the rizht so to do up tothe Ist of July, we believe. Court oF Crarms —To-day—all the Judges being present—Hon. Richard Brodhead, of Penn- sylvania, and Henri Herrisse, of South Carolina, were admitted as attorneys of this Court. Judye Gilchrist delivered adverse opinions in the following cases. Viz: Of Henry J. Smith; Philip Lamay ; Joseph Stokeley ; Arnold Harris, administrator of Armstrong ; and Ellen Martin. The case of Richgrd L.

Excellent as vocalists, and inimita- ble as humoristx, and moreover keeping always within the bounds of good taste, they are des- tined to make hosts of fdends in Washington. It is just the entertainment now needed here. The Hall was crowded last night and night before. We are sorry to-learn from the accomplished leader, Mr. Ordw: that his company can per- form here but five nights, as they have important engagements elsewhere. A Horervt Movemest.—The children and youths of the city have lately formed a Temper- ance Society, which meets on Sunday afternoons, at5 o'clock, at the rooms of the Young Men’s Christian Association. ‘The officers elected for the next three months, are: T. Edwin Brown, President; Francis Gudgin, Vice President; J. Edw’d Smith, Secretary; and Henry Gass, Treas- urer. Arrangements are now being made for a great public meeting of the children in favor of Tem- perance. An lvronrusate StranceR.—Last evening, @ woman, having an infant in her arms and a small boy walking by her side, was wandering about the streets looking for her brother, John Graham, a saddler. Being unable to find him she took her children to the guard-house, and was permitted to remain there until this morning. She comes from Ohio, gives her name as Rosa McMahon, aud is 32 years of age. If her brother will inquire of Captain Mills or Justice Goddard he will hear more about her. Tue Bervect.

Mecwantcs’ InstiTUTE AND THE MARKET.— Last night at a meeting ef the building committee of the Metropolitan Mechanic’s Institute the sub- ject of their new hall was discussed, and the opinion appeared to be generally expressed that for the good of the city as well He the Institute, the best plan would be to build the hall in con- nection with rhe proposed new Centre Market. This expression of opinion probably induce our City Fathers to put an ab delay and re- move the present shabby market, and commence the erection of a more suitable building. Governuent Inprovewent.—The grading of New Jersey avenue, for which an appropriation of $7,000 was made by the last Congress, was commenced this morning.
