Marblehesd and other manufac turing towns in Massachusetts, have been holding meetings Preliminary to astrike for higher wages. The Movement is said to embrace all the principal shoe and boot manufscturing towns throughout the State. Ata large and enthust meeting of the workmen, held at Lynn on Thursday night it wes resolved that that the strike should com- mence on the 22d of February, and % committee of five was appointed to notify the manufacturers to that eifect. A committee of twenty-tive was also chosen to collect money to help in carrying the strike through; and provision was mide for another committee of one hundred members to see that the arrangements for the strike are fully car- ried out Scrraace ix Oxto.—The Supreme Court of Ohio decided the case of Alfred J. Anderson agt. Thomas Milligen on uesday last. The court held that persons having a mixture of African blood in their veins, the preponderance bein, white, were, by the constitution of 1801, entith to exercise the elective franchise, and that no change having been made in this respect by the constitution of 1851, the plaintiff having but one eighth of African bi ,and his vote being re- fused at the Presidential election of 1856, for that reason alpne, therefore, the .court held that he ix entitled to recover for the violation of the right conferred on him by the constitution. The de- cision was unanimous. IFA Washington letter says that Tom Hyer is iu Washington and purposes giving sparring lessons for the special benent of Congressmen UF Mr. Jesse IH.

Ricumonp, Va.. Thursday, Feb. 16—3 p. m. There were perhaps six hundred delegates in attendance at the Democratic State Convention here this forenoon, for the floor of the hall (Afr!- can church) was covered with them. Perhaps a hundred more are looked for to arrive by the con- veyances reaching Richmond this afternoon. Winter W. Payne was made the temporary chair- man. and empowered to make a committee of one from each electoral district in the State to nomi- nate (to the Convention) permanent ofticers. Great confusion existed, owing to the want of rules and the extent of the crowd. So far, there has been no contest between the Wise and Hunter interests; nothing having been before the Conven- tion on which any such contest could be hinged While the Secretary was calling the roll of the Convention by counties, a telegraphic dispatch announcing the sudden death of the Hon. Benj. Rush Floyd, at Washington, (a delegate,) was re- ceived, and an adjournment until 4 p. m. was at once moved and carried, in respect to his memory. My intercourse with the delegates from all quar- ters of the State leads me to believe that the Wise interest will find serious obstacles in the way of the success of their scheme to obtain an expression of preference for his nomination hy the Charleston Convention. Mais, nows rerrons. WwW. D. W—ua RicuMonp, Va., Feb. 16—11 p. m. If aver there was ‘‘Pandemonium broke loose** it has been in the African Church of this renowned city this afternoon and to-night—and all, too; li'- erally about nothing. Ere the Convention met, I anticipated that it would consist of some five hun- dred members. This morning, as I wrote in my last, at least six hundred were present. Ere they adjourned to-night it was clear from the names reported to the secretaries. that nine hundred delegates are on the ground. The church will Probably seat six hundred; so, with two or three hundred outsiders in it, as well asthe nine bun- dred delegates, the intensity of the pressure of human flesh may be imagined, and also the utter impossibility of transacting business intelligently with at least twenty or thirty orators bellowing for a hearing upon every incidental question or motion arising. Nevertheless, the temper ef the body has so far been good. But two or three trifling jars of words have occurred, and those Were settled upon the spot with great good hu- mor, the turn of the body being decidedly in reprobation of personalities. The Convention can hardly be said to have yet fairly organized, owing to the ditticulty of get- ting a decision on any question, however insig- nificant in importance to their future action. 1 left them at 10 p.m., to write this letter, in the midst of a yea and nay vote upon a question whether Democratic citizens of couuties not for- mally represented should be permitted to cast the vote of their several counties—to represent them Its result will be of little importance, as but few counties are unrepresented. Nevertheless, to de- cide it by roll call will occupy in all at least three hours of the Convention's time—and that after spending some four hours in {ta discussion. { mention these facts only by way of illustrating the importance of a change in the manner in which Virginia State Conventions of all parties are now composed. Thus, they are litte else except manunoth State mass meetings. Ere rail- roads facilitated the easy collection of large num- bers on such occasions, it may have been well to nominate, as is yet done, twenty, thirty, forty, fifty, or every Democrat who may fancy to ge froin every county; because a lack of those facili- ties rendered it certain that comparatively few would attend. Now, however, the case is very different; and giving all Democrats permission equally to participate in the proceedings of Vir- ginia State Conventions renders it certain that they will be little cise than very noisy, tumultu- ous, and utterly unbusiness-like assemblages, as in this cause ‘The voting of to-day and to-night upon various incidental questions shows that su far there iy clearly no concert of action among either the Hunter ur Wise men, and that each member of the Convention votes “upon his own hvok.”’ This is as it should be; tending to the decision of all questions upon their respective merits, rather than tostrengthen the Presidential prospects of any aspirant. It was clear when I left the church that the vote on the peuding question could not be declared by the chair before midnight; and therefore that nu question could arise to-night upon that point, concerning which all of all parties and cliques now in Riehmond talk, and talk of litile else. That is, whether the Convention shall express @ preference for the nomination of any particular gentleman by the Charleston Convention, and if so—for whom? To-morrow such an expression Will doubtless be asked; for the Wise mass meet- ing of last night voted that such a proposition shall be made. The signs in the body of the churck to-day have indicated that it will be voted down, as I trust it may; the weight of in- Huence in shaping the action of the body being evidently, so far, with those known to be opposed to it. W.D. Wn. CoMPLETION oF THE ORGETOWN WATER Worxs.—Captain Meigs has presented to the Water Board of Georgetown his final report upon the distribution of water through that city, The work hos been substantislly completed, the last water pipe laving been luid down on the 7th December Inst 7.81 miles of pipe have been laid, and a portion of the Washington aqueduct toaius having been used in the distribution, there are S73 miles of distributing pipe in use in the city. At every street crossing, except on Bridge street. a fire-plug and stop-cock combined has been placed, in a box covered by a cast iron plate at the level of the roadway. These fire-plugs have each attachments for four fire-engines, and thus every house has within a half block’s dis- tance provision in case of fire for eight fire-en- gines. One hundred free public drinking fountains or service hydrants have been provided, of which nine only had been set up when the cold weather arrested this work. The remainder will be set up in the spring, one at every street corner in the city Thus the thirsty and the poor will find water flowing free of charge on every corner. How mueb this will tend to the Promotion of temperance and the comfort of the people it is not necessary to point out. ‘The poor. even more than the rich of Georgetown will owe 2 lasting: debt of gratitude to those who have so quickly, quietly, and jndiciously arranged and completed this work, The means of doing this work are Provided by a tax of 60 cents per front foot on both sides of every street in which the Water Board may decide to lay the pipes. The Board has consulted the interests of property-holders by omitting those Portions of the streets in which there is no present necessity for the pipes, but has exercised its authority by laying them whenever a judicious artangement of the distrioution required them The tax being payable in four equal annual in- stalments of 15 cents each, at the end of four years there will be no further tax needed, and ali the people will have water free of annual rent forever. On a thitty foot-front house. in the middle ofa block. the annual water rent is $4.50 for four yeurs, and thence forward free. There have been laid by the Board 45,25 & feet of pipe. 93 percent of which is four-inch, the rest six-inch pipe. There are 79 fire-plogs, and tLere will be 105 free public hydrants: one fire- plug to 86 and one public hydrant to 117 Persons in the city. The cost has been, thus far, $30,602. There remains to be paid for setting up the remainder of the hydrants. completing the repairs of the streets, (which cannot be done until the weather mod- erates,) aud for stationery and other small charges $3,334.65; making the total cost of the completed work $33,936 65, which makes the a fe cost per foot for the pipe laid sz y cents; per mile, $4,3445—Including all fire-plugs, hydrants, and contingencies of every kind. The total expense 18 equivalent to a tax of $3.77 pe: bead of the population, or, as it is payable, in four anaua! instalments, a yearly tax of 94 cents per head for four years only. ‘The tax of 66 cents per front foot, after deducting for street cr. sings. pays this and leaves a smail surplus. ‘The supply of water is from the Washinyton Aqueduct, and when that is completed, it will be Practically unlimited, being all that the people can use, if seventy millions of gallons a day. After thecompletion of-the Distributing reservoir of the Washington Aqueduct,the water will always De perfectiv clear. Having now only one reservoir, the water in rainy weather tbe water {s often dlp colored by the brook, the Little Falis branch, which flowing fnto the Receiving reservoirs, sup- plies the cities of Washington and Georvetown. The water pressure engine in the west abutment of the Rock creek fron bridge. supplies all that portion of the city of Georgetown, which is over one hundred feet above tide. The engines work satisfactorily, having now been in operation, day and night, since the 10th of December. Thus far working at one-eighth speed only, it has sup- plied all the valves used in that part of the city. its supply is drawn from the Aqueduct, and it gives out a useful effect of from Fv to 90 per cent. of the power employed. The work of distributing water throngh the city has been done under the direction of the Water Board, Messrs. Henry Addison, John T. Bangs, and James A. Magruder, by Capt. M.C. Meigs and Mr. E. T. D. Myers, C. We congratulate the citizens of Georgetown upon the completion of this work, and thatin a few weeks Georgetown will have the distinction of being the only city in the world in which water will flow free of cost at every corner, for all who need it. ee Tuk New York Seventh REGIMENT Comin.
