Mead thought that under the charter the: Corporation had a perfect right orien Ay whom it would give contracts, how it bedone, and bow many hours should be made upon it. He thought the gentleman should have op- posed the resolution when it was up last Mon. =. but not now seek to kill it ind — r. Ferguson said the manner for the gentleman to accom: bis purpose was to move a reconsideration of the yote by which the former resolution was passed, when it could be amended er otherwise disposed of. Mr. Wright thought tt was rather toomneh to pledge every member to support a measure to which some were opposed. Mr. Rheem said he could not yote for the latter clause of the resolution. He regarded the Sour movement as a humbug, and he did - hot belheve Congress would be so oppressive as to say how much a man shoutd work for or bow long. The working man would only get paid for the amount of work he done, and if the § hour system was adopted they would only receive what they earned. He could not ask Congress to do a thing soabeurd. The ' whole thing was gotten up for buncombe, and) it was said every man was to show his band. He came here prepared to sbow his hand, an@ hoped all did, irrespective of fear or favoritism. Men would work for the number of hours for, and be could get men to work all day and all night when ar Mr. Herrell moved previous question, but withdrew it. Mr. Peugh said that he was in favor of the firet section of the bill, and that he had since the previous meeting saw how ridiculous the act sought to be repealed appeared. The great- est enemies of the laboring man were those who voted for the eight-hour bill, as would be apparent, and one of the first effects on the landlords will be raise the rents. The whole action of the board on the sub- ject was a perfect farce, and the members appeared asasetof jackasses in a men: ° Since the previous méeting he had hi the question of revoking the charter spoken of by over « hundred persons—tax-payers—and they said they (the people) could not govern them- selves. He would tell the board before they went further that such proceedings as they had been engaged in, such ridiculous legisia- tion, would be used against the corporation during the next session. Mr. Ferguson stated that his conscience was clear in regard to the yote he bad given for the bill referred to, and he wished every one to know that he did notoffer the eight hour amend- ment for buncombe. He cared not whether he Was returned or not, that lay with his constit- nents, the —ey of whom were workingmen, They had come here asking for the measure, and he, in duty bound, done all he could for them. Not being a mechanic myself Te if he was one he would not be ashamed of it) he could not fully realize all the benefits they anticipated. He was certain that those gen- tlemen in the two Boards, as also the very re- spectable number of mechanics who attended the council at the previous meeting fally ap- —— the remarks of the gentieman Mr eugh) as the jackasses and menagerie. He left the matter with an intelligent public. Mr. Peugh disclaimed any disrespect to the Board. The resolution was referred : Yeas—Messrs.
