T. J. O’Toote to THe City —His Recertion sy tHe Carnoric Total AB- sTINENCE SOcIETY—SPegcn—Serenave.—It hav- ing become known that the Rev. T. J. O'Toole had returned to this city on a brief visit from New York. it was determined by the members of the Catholic Total Abstinence Soctety, of which he was so long president, to give him a formal re- ception. Accordingly, last evening the members of the society met in numbers at their ball, on the corner of G Tenth streets and, after some preliminary business, appointed a commit- tee to wait on the reverend gentleman for the pur- pose of a of thelr assembling, and of their desire to have him meet with address them. it was not = the committee re- turned, in company w: Mr. O°’Toole Imme- diately upon entering, he was greeted with loud =pplause, and invited to take position on the plat- form. He was welcomed on the part of the society by Mr. J.G_ Clark, chief marshal, {n a few priate remarks, — be rose and aknow! the compliment In the following language, so fitting tothe octasion: ” a After thanking them for the kind reception which be had met with at their hands, he sald: lam sure it affords me great pleasure to have it in my power to address you once again, and pe to you, 2s I feel, that very few occasions cou! interest me more than to meet you—all members of our Temperance Association so largely repre- sented on so short a cailas that on which I find you here this evening {Apres} I am ex- ceedinzly glad and rejoiced to find that the cause not only still lives, but flourishes, and I trust that it will long continue to flourish. [Applause.] I have no doubt that any cause in w ich so much spirit, ao much beart is manifested, will not fail as long 8 that heart continues to throb, and to beat warmly in the good offices of friendship and kindness. And as your assembling here to-night is a manifestation of that spirit of friendliness and kindness to me, it isto myself an evidence that that beart is still beating warmly and generously, and therefore conclusive ground for hope that the geod cause is bound still to flourish amongst you | know one thing, my fellow-members, I have been since myself true to my pledge.

I have always said we might safely look for a margin, and allow a margin, like the man who is making up bis sccount, who always leaves a margin for bad debts. [Laughter] Ihave always advised the leaving of a margin for inconsistent members Do this and still a great deal of good will be ac- complished, because the greater number will be good members. I can tell yon of very few things im my correspondence with Washington tbat have gladdened me more or produced the qui throb in my heart, or the tear more readily in m eye, than the announcement of the earnestness and the fidelity of the great mass of our society to the cause of temperance, and to the princ: iple upon which it was based—that of religion. For, he assured, one way or other there was always a little bird that kept bringing me the news. And that little bird knew that there was a cord in ne .

As long as that is the case. that we hold to the one cause, and look upon that as the end to be attained and to be sustained, so long will you have the bl increased dally, which has been a comfort to you for many years already; and so long will we hi that there will be at least in this community a band of men. who may be held forth asa lel band of good, lawful, solid, loyal citizens, and consistent members of their chureh—a credit to themselves and a credit to that holy church which always feels itself proud to behold amongst her children those who are able to reach to the highest ends of religion, and to hold over themselves that moral restraint, and to exbibit to the world that courage, that fortitude of purpose that enables tem to steer clear of all danger and temptation, and conduct themselves in a manner becoming Se and Christians. eesoreass he speaker then to give an interest- i 5 meet of what be had witnessed since he had been a resident of the great city of New York. He admonished them to be faithful to thelr pledge and show to every one the blessed influences o: tem perance under the benign influence of religion. It was the great secret of happiness. He should ever treasure the memory of the Society and its members. He concluded amid great applause The reverend gentleman was serenaded about eleven o'clock. A Mazar Time —David Shea, Michael Healy, and M. Malone got into a fight on Monday after- noon, on Sixth street, being urged thereto by pine-top whisky or some other evil spirit. The trio seemed to enjoy the fun extremely, and the confiict was not confined to the locality in which it Ls but by the activity of the parties. by which they gave variety to the entertainment, it was transferred to Seventh street. Here they were intruded upon by officer J. F. King, who attempted to arrested the combatants. David Shea left the ring, probably disgusted with the entrance of a fresh man at this stage of the fight. Malone and Healy turned against the interloper, and the result was King’s nice white coat was torn and saturated with blood. King called for aid; but no one helped till several policemen came to bis assist- ance, and they carried the parties before Justice Donn.. The prisoners were both bloody and braised, and gave ae they ak been ina jut althoug! were restrained bting, their tongues could not be con- trolled; they went on at a rapid rate, not caring what they said, until the Squire, managing to cateh their attention, informed them that they must give bail for court or go to jail. This sen- tence paralyzed their tongues for a moment, and their astonishment was amusing. The justice, tired of their company, committed Healy to jail, and Malone gave bail.’ Officer King, in order to settle a disputed point relative to the duty of citi- zens to assist an officer when called upon, intends pre se a few who were present to the grand jury, we hear If so, when officers go to arrest desperate men, after the case is ided. the ‘aug bing m Q proved him to be the assaulted party, and thet the case against him has been settled.

The prose- cuting evidence went to prove the disorderly character of the house; but the defens introduced Thomas Slater, who testified that it is his house; he kept it. He is not married to Elizabeth Sparks, but keeps ber to attend to the house for him. Jus- tice Donn dismissed the case against the defend- ant, and immediately ordered Slater to give bail for a further hearing ina similar case against himeelf. There are several cases growing out of this, most: be Sper cases of profanity, disor- derly conduct, &c., which are ail eid over. DisMisseD.—Informants sometimes make wide mistakes This morning a colored man named Jacob Dodson, who was employed by Dr. Blake, Commissioner of Public Buildinzs, ‘was arrested by officer Chipley on a warrant issued by Justice McKenna, charging him with failing to compl: with the registry law. The warrant was issu: on the information of W. Roddy, and was a nov- elty of its kind, being made returnable before the issuing magistrate or John D Clark, the rule re- quiring it to be made returnable before the is- re magistrate or the magistrate of an adjoin- ing district; and it also leit the penalty biank. W ben laid before Justice Donn, Roddy objected to histrying the case. The justice informed Mr Roddy that he understood ‘bis own rights, and would hear the evidence, and if he attempted to interfere in the case by any contemptuous conduct, he would send him to jail. Upon bearing the testimony of respectable residents, it was proved that so far was n from ang s non-resident, that he has been a resident of thecity and well known here for the last twenty years. Of course the case was dismissed. The officer in the case knew perry 3 of it until the warrant was placed in bis hands by the informant.
