It Baving been understood that the Hibernians intended to parade the streets yesterday the police authorities were instructed not to per- mitany band of musie to play on the street, and not to allow any assemblage of persons carrying banners, &c, as it was calculated to create a breach of the peaee. The procession consequently did not take place. The parade of @ Fenian military company through the streets to-day and their departure for Nmgara Fall- to attend a ball created great excitement on the Canadian side. Buffalo is tull ot Canadian spies, who are watching the Fenian movements. MARYLAND LxGisLATBRE.—In the Senate yesterday, & message from the House asking for the return of the Susqahanna boom bill gave rise to some debate, but the Senate refused to return the bill, on the ground that it was a jaw.

March 3, to provide for a more efficient governmenttf or the rebel States, and to facill- tate restoration. Mr. Wilson, (Iowa) from Judiciary Com- mittee, moved to amend the first section by adding to the prescribed oath a clause that the person proposing to vote has never been a member of any State Legislature, nor held any executive or judicial officein any State aud afterward engaged in insurrection or rebellion against the United States, or given aid or com- fort to the enemies thereof. Mr. Wilson, (lowa) moved to amend the fitth section by striking out the words re- quiring the votes cast to be at least one-half of all the registered yoters voting upon the ques- tion of ratification. Agreed to. On motion of Mr. Snellabarger, the word “registered” was prefixed to the word “elect- ors.” Mr. Wilsen, (lowa) moved an amendment to the sixth secuion by adding a proviso that aby person Knowingly taking and subscribing to the oath falsely should be subject to all the pains and penalties of perjury.

Hulburd, of New York; Broomall of Pennsylvania: Hubbard, of lowa; Plants, of Ohio; Bromwell, of Illinois; Coburn, of Indi- ana; Peters, of Maine; Taber, of New York, and Noell, of Missouri. And then, at a quarter befere four o'clock, the House adjourned. TaE Eicnt-HovrR QuxsTion.—The recent law passed by the Lilinois Legislature, es- tublishing the eight-hour system in that State, provides that on and after the first day of May next “eight bours of labor, between the rising and setting of the sun, in all mechanical trades. arts and employments, and other cases of labor and service oy, the day, except in farm employments, shall constitute and be a legal Gay’s work, where there is no special contract oF agreement to the contrary.” Cer- tais exceptions are, however, made by the second section of the act, which declares that it “shall Bot apply to or inany way affect la- bor or service by the year, month or week; nor shall any person be prevented, by anything herein contained, from working as many hours over time, or extra hours, as he or she may agree, and shall not in any sease be hela toapply to farm labor.” Illinois is the first State that has adopted the eight-hour system; buta bill similar to the above has passed one branch of the Missouri Legislature, and the discussion of the eight-hour system has a large pbc in the ending litical campaign in necticut. The workingmen of that State have questioned the candidates of both parties as to their opinions on the subject. Itis an- nounced from Rhode Isiand that the woolen manufacturers of that State, wBo have recent: received & considerable amount of additional protection by the passage of the wool tariff and the relief from various internal duties, have reduced the wages of their emploves ten per cent. Itis difficult to reconcile this with the expressed desire to have the tariff raised as a protection to the laborers of the country. LiskL Suit iy lowa—Ten Thousand Damages Awarded.—The Oskaloosa Herald says a libel suit was tried in the District Court at that place last week, which resulted in theaward of 810, 000 damages. Suit was brought by Chas. J.Lov: against Martha A. Ball and her husband fora considerable sum of money, teh Love claims to have furnished Martha A. Garner before her marriage with Ball, whi was acting in the capacity of agent for her in the col'ection of a legacy bequeathed by her father She denied the account and filed across bill for $10,100 damages, because of certain letters which had been circulated, purporting te have -— written by a soldier of the 20tn Ohio olunteers, which her with being a debauched womans, etc., etc., and which libel- ous letters Love was charged with writing and circulating. The testimony was long and tedious. E-: in chirography compared the handwriting in the libelous letters with Lo and gave their 0; friendly reiations of the parties were all carefully recounted. After two days of labor the case went to the jury. Verdict re- turned for Mrs. Ball for $10,000. NEaRLy a FaTAL MISTAK m Saturday morning Mr. C. C.

He eontended that the Metropolitam Police were sufficient for the necessities of this community, and that the city police was a useless expense. Mr. Magruder alluded to an opinion of the Corporation Attorney that the city police was necessary to enforce the corporation laws Mr. Given said that necessity had been re- moved by the act of Congress passed at the last session defining the duties of the Metro- politan Police. Mr. Magruder said the fines collected by the city police, if they enforced the laws of this corporation, would amount to a great deal more than the $12,009 per annum paid to them. Mr. T. E. Lioyd was willing to vote for a resolution abolishing the police magistracy. but thought the police force was useful wo the corporation. Tt. McOathran said this was only a transfer of the fight between the city authorities and the Metropolitan Police Board from the May- or's office to the council chambers. It was an encroachment on the rights of this corporation and the people. He was opposed to abolish- ing (he po'ice magistrates and the police force. Mar. T. E. Lioyd said there was no advantage to the citizens in bis ward in having two po- lice magistrates there. The city was now com- pelled to pay two magistrates in each ward when one is ample to attend to all the busi- ners. id 2: Mr. Noyes said the city ferce was, he un-~ derstoed, seif- raining.

Mr. Needham also gave notice of & proposition to amend the cen- stitution, for the election of an assistant secre- tary. The president mtroduced Mr. Dell, (white) of Arkansas, who delivered am interesting ac - Gress upon the prospects of success in Arkan- sas and the Sonth. The club <omplimented bim with a vote of thanks tor his address. Mr. Stokely, (colored) from the appropriace committee, reported that be had cai:led to see Hons. B. F. Butler, G. W. Julian, and Colenel Ferney, and invited them to address the club He had tailed to see Hon. Mr. Butler; and Co! Forney was in Philadelpbia: but Hon. G. W. Julian bas consented to address the club nex: Wednesday night. Un motion, the arrange- ments for the Wednesday night meeting were referred to the same committee. The President read an article in the Chron’- cle relative to the scheme for the extradition of colored voters in (jeorgetown, warning Re- —— of this city against trickery. The ‘resident also stated that after the last meet- ing he bad carried to 8 Republican paper as a matter of news, the fact that a petition for the impeachment of Andrew Johnson was signed by fifty Republicans. The editor forgot to ublish it. Probably the Republicans may forget to subscribe for his paper when che lector calls again. The President would not name the paper, so the publishers may baye lume to repent. Mr. Dudley, (white,) was next introduced. He denied the correctness of a statement tbat the Freedmen’s Burean was co-operating with Johnson to defeat the Republicans, aud considered it as an unjust refiection upon (zen. Howard. Rev. Mr. Boulden, (colored,) said that the allusion was toa remark he had made.

Yes! 900" Mr. King was glad to hear it,and hoped they Would +bow it by their works. Mr. K. pro- ceeded te eo ps to the manner of the report io the Star, and thonght it wrong to designate the speakers as white or celored. He also ex- pressed dissatisfaction at the use of the ex - Pression “amen corner.” Mr. Needham, (white,) said he saw nothing improper in the report, certainly nothimg tha: ‘Was intended to give offence. He Was glad to see so fuil a report. Mr. King replied that the report in the Star Was true, nothing garbled; but he objected to the distinction, eae cdg wh pnewy At the imvitation of the president, stated tam a maung the k~ ers as white or colored ry Teports there Was Ro intention whatever to make an invi- dious distinction. It was done simply to make the report clear and intelligent, and to show what were the views expressed by white speakers and what by col speakers. The true friends of the colored man will not bust when told that bh me appears among them. There are some who want to be recognized as friends of colored men who ashamed to be known among them. Such may object to see their names in the same lis’; but a straign:- out Republican will never be ashamed of the association. Mr. T. did not consider Mr. King @s one of the half-way sort. He knew bis zeal inthe cance As tothe “amen corner,” that ‘was a term spplied to a part of the church where the steady, fervent members usually sit, and from which the responses to the sen - Uiments of prayer are frequent.
