Last evening the regular monthly meeting of the .Workingmen’s Assembly was held in the Council chamber, City Hall, at which Mr A. T. Uavis, the president, occupied the chair’ Mr. James H. Reed secretary. ‘There was quite @ good attendance on the part of the delegates. The credentials of the follewing delegates were presented, and they were admitted to seats, alter being reported on by the committee on credentials: Mesers, Keron J. Reynolds, J. W. Murphy, Richard Rothwell, Alexagder Pattereon, James J. Mitchell, and Phifip J. McHenry, of the Journeymen Stoneoutier’s Association, 198 members; J. R.

Oolline, and min Eggleston, of Brick- layers’ Union No. 1, numbering 275 members. ‘he Chair welcomed the delegates, express- ing the gratification of the assembly that the trades are taking an interest in the assembly— Afact no doubt attributable to the efforts of the committee and the influence of some of the members. Mr. Mitchell, from the commitree on the pic- nic.reported that the arrangements were nearly all completed, and algo, that in the sale of tick- ets they were not meeting with the encourage. ment they had hoped for, but boped that the members ?would exert themselves in selling tickets until the day of the pic-nic, The Chair stated that it was proposed to lve to the pic-nic eomething of the character istics of 8 mass meeting, and at the same time afford the tamilies of the workingmen a day of Tecreation. It was also pro) that the rights ot the workingmen should be discussed— the Assembly supported the doctrine of eignt bours a day, and also favored an increase of ‘wages. Mr Rothwell said that be was glad that the jc laims of the workingmen were to ba discussed ‘at the pic-nic, and he was rejoiced tbat the dectrine “eight hours’ labor a legal day’s work” was being adopted in the States, and he believed that a bill based on this doctrine ‘Would be passed at the nextsess.on of Uon- gree. The following-named delegates from the several trade organizations were added to the Committee on Elccmlerpecep Davt. George M. Thompson, John T. Williams, and George O. Cook. for the Bricklayers’ Union, No. 1; George W. Pierce and John A. Shackleford, for the Paper-bangers’ Association; W. ©. Clarke and B. McHenry, of the Granite-cut- ters’ Association; and G. Sibley and James Hogbes for the Plasterers’ Association. The following delegates were added to the Executive Committee—T. McWilliams, of the Stopecutters’ Association; J. R. Gill. of the Plasterers’ Astociation: J. W. Falconer, of the Paper-bangers’ Aesociation: B. Egrleston, of the Bricklayers’ Union, No. 1; aud W. C. Clarke, of the Granite-cutters’ Associa'ion. The Chair stated that he had received the address of the committee of the National 1.bor Congres to the workingmen of the United States, and he proceeded to read the pamphlet, which fe admirably written, and discusses the questions affecting the workingmen. The address refers to the fact that the first National Labor Congress ever assembled in the country was held on the 20th of August last in Baliimore. which was attended by sixty delegntes. and speaks of the benefits of unity of action by all trades. The subject of eignt hours per day is discussed at some length, and one argument vsed 18 that the records of the Patent Offices of this country and Great Brit- tain sbow that three fourths of the labor-sav- ing macbinery perfected durmg the past twenty-five years has been the creation of the workingman’s brain, and since the adoption of the “ren. hour system these inventions haye increased seventy-five per cent. ‘The question of co-operative stores and as- sociations is discussed, and it is claimed that the tormer have been very successful, especi- aliy in England; and the combination of the eight flannel weavers of Rockdale, ried witb @ subscription of five or six cents tor work, less than twenty-five years since, who now have a capital of ©251:.00), and Jaid the ronudation of anenterprise which has made their town one of tbe most flourishing in England. is pointed to us as an example. Trades Unions are spoken of highly, and the benefits resulting therefrom are noticed, and all mechanics are urged to connect themselves with the Unions. Referring to the apprentice system, the aduress says that it is defective. aud: pveds immediate reformation. Under the head of strikes. the address says that «Hi appeals to extreme measures cannot be too strongly deprecated except as a dernier Tesort, believing tat by & conference commit- tee im most cases, all difficulties can be re- Moved. “An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure,” and as @ large majority of the Strikes end in failure or disaster, the Unions bave everything to gain and nothing to lose by the adoption of this cause. All honorable workingmen shonld act in concert, and difter- emt resulis will be brought about from those which generally attend such demonstrations. The sdaress says under the head of female labor, that a thorough and carefal examina- Non of the enbject will go a long way to re- move the causedess prejudices heretofore en- tertamed by all classes against its employment 49 many channels of useful occupation. The postion of the laboring classes bas been mis- Tepresepted on this question. They onject to the introduction of female labor when used to Gepreciate the value of their own labor and to accomplish the selfish ends of the empioyer, when under the plea of disinterested »phiian- tbropby,” the alterior object has not been the cleration of woman, but thedearedation of man. The claim that if toey are capable to fill the positions now occupied by the stronger sex— ud iv many instances they are—they should receive be same compensation. Under the head of “Negro labor" the address saye, what shall be bis siatus asa free men is at present 8 matter of national anxiety palatable as the truth mzy be to many 1t is neecless to dieguise the fact that they are destined to occupy 4 different position in the future to whatthey have in the past; that they must necessarily become in their new relation- ebip an element ef strength or an element of weskness, and it is for tbe workingmen of America to eay which that shall be.” Organi zation aud consolidation must become the watchword of the trne reformer, and toaccom- Pp. is the ¢ eration of ibe African race Must be secured. If those directly Mterested tail to perform this duty others will avail themselves of itto their (the workingmen’s) injury. A practical illustration of tats was afiurded in the recent importition of colored cauikers from Portsmouta. Va., to Boson, Mass., during the struggle on tae eight-boor question. Every Union should help to inc: cate he prand enabling idea that ihe interests of labor ate one; that there should no: be y distinction” of race or nationality Bot sside from ail this, the workingmen of the United States Rave @ special interest in seeking their co-operst:on, Tuis race rapidly educated. and will soon be adm 1 the privileges and tranchises of citizeaship. it will nesther die out or be extermina'ed ie Low regarced a5 agettled fact Tay are there to live umonget'Us, &ud the question to be decided ts, shall we make them our frievds, cr ehu l capital be alowed to turn them asin ue Agminst us?

Mr. Watkins called the attention of the A: sembly to the fact that the National Labor Gon- Rees met in Chicago before the mext meeting of the Assembly, and moved that two delegates be electe Mr. Jas. H. Reed acked if the Assembly was entitled to two delegates. ‘Mr. Mitehellread from the constitation of the Labor Congress toshow that the Assem-. bly was entitled to nt one. Mr. Watkins modified his motion accordingly and it was adopted. Meeers A. T. Oavis, J. J. Mitchell and J. C. C. Whaley were nominated. it was stated that Mr. Whaley being the President of that body, it was unnecessary to elect him. Mesers. Judd and Wroe were ap- | peer tellers, and @ ballot being taken, Mr itchell was elected. Mr. Frizzell offered a resolution providing for the appointment of a commi of three to take charge of and revise any articles which may be furnished them for publication. Bir. Frizzell stated that this resolation look- ed to the selection of some paper of this city as the advocate ot the workingmen. ‘The resolution was adopted, and Messer.

Marshal of West Tennessee, charged with instigating the robbery of Mr. E. B. Rob- erta’ room, in June, 1866, at Willard’s Hotel, of a Un box. containing certain vouchers and oth- er papers of value, relating to cotton frauds in Alabama, was resumed before Justice N. H. Miler, at bis office, corner of Gth street and Louisiana avenne, this morning at 9 o'clock. Owing tothe Bigh standing of the aceused ouch interest was manifested in the case, and 4 number of his friends, occupying prom! t positions, were in attendance. The prosecution was represented by Hon. A. G. Riddle and Jadge Saffold, while Judge Leech and Mr. Cox Sppearea for the defense. ‘A succinet account of the case, as developed before Justice Miller on Saturday afternoon , has al peared in the Star. To-day give the concluding testimony : ‘The case was opened by the introduction of Mr. Warren Carpenter ass witness for the prosecution, who stated; in answer to inter- rogatories from Mr. Vox, that he knew Mr. Tomlinson, of Schenectady, and paid him a visit about ony. ist; he wished to take these ‘omeny to get paid for them: never said he wished to be revenged on Tom- eny; did tell Tomeny he was willing to assiet i ing Roberts. [The substance of Uar- vidence has already been published in the Star, and it is, therefore, unnecessary to republish it, as elicited this morning.] Questioned by the prosecution. Had no conversation with Tomlineon about papers stolen from Roberts; at the time Tomlinson gave me $20 he told me Tomeny was at Tren- ton Falls; bave never paid him back the money; went to see Tomeny at Trenton Falls; at Stamford, New York, bad an interview with Tomlinson and Tomeny about papers; Tomlinson bought tickets trom Stamford to New York city for our party: Tomeny paid all expenses, including bar and hotel bill in the city of New York; while in New York had an interyiew with Mr. Webb, Tomeny’s brother- in-law, about the papers; a proposition was made in New York for Mr. Tomiineon to take charge of the papers; was sure Temeny knew the character of the papers, because they were talked over in bis office; did not know that Tomlinson-ynew of the edgtederation to steal the papers; Tomeny was not present at second Visit to.Winston. Mr. Roberts was recalled by counsel for de- fence, and stated that he saw a charge in the the Treasury Department, made by Mr. Tome- ny. [The papers in the hand-writing of wit- nese, sent by him to the Secretary of the Treas- ury in reply to churges made by Mr. Tomeny, were here shown to witness, who identified them as his own.} The papers were here read, when Mr Rid- dle objected to their consideration, and hoped they might be ruled out of the case. The counsel for defense maintained their rigbtto introduce the papers as a proof that Carpenter wes not wortby ef belief on his oath. They hoped the Justice wonld sustain their Position, and admit thesame. After consider- able discugsion upon the matter, Justice Mil- ler stated that he thought the papers might be u-ed against Carpenter i refutation of etate- ments made by bim. Mr. Roberts resumed.—Said he believed Car- Penter could be induced to swear falsely. His cbaracter was not good. Witness was well acquainted with him, and knew he was not to be relied on. Mr. Cox said that they proposed to effer but littletestitomony for the defense, owing to the distance of Mr. Tomeny’s house, there bad keen some difficulty im getting such evidence as could easily be procured otherwise; but they feit satisfied in producing such evidence as would establish their clients’ character, and. prove beyond a doubt that Re was incapable of the guilt charged againthim. Mr. Cox then Tecapitulated the circumstances which ied to this charge, asserting that the whole matter grew out of maliee towards Tomeny because he had held up the parties for their dishouest iransactions tow! Government. Mir. Edgar M. Tomlinson. sworn for defense, stated that he resided at Flatbush, L. 1.; occu- pation a gentleman: had means of knowing Carpenter's character, and mnew it; woald not believe him on oath: knew Roberts character, and thought it very bad; would not believe him on oath. in July. 1966, Carpenter paid him a visit at Sebenectady, with DuBois: in conver- sation then Carpenter said his motive for ab- stracting Boberts’ ‘pavers was for the purpose of making money for A.A. Winston and Watts t Co, of Mobile: Carpenter also stated in presence of DuBois that Roberts had wronged him: that be bad loaned him (Roberts) money, and he had never paid hum back, and was d termined to be revenged for his bad faith; Carpenter distietly stated that Tomeny knew nothing of the ‘y, but was a thousand miles away. DuBois told me, in presence of Carpenter, that in a conversation about the Tovbery Tomeny had said that they should bot rob Roberts; it would do no good and might send them to the Penitentiary. Car- Penterand DuBois asked me to assist in get- tng money from A. A. Winston and Coalepy Smith & ft Mi tor papers stolen from wed to do so: DuBois told me but I did not. nor never em ; they took the papers away trom my house; 1 did not give Carpenter any money on the first occasion; the second time 1 gave him $5, upon his representa- tion that he had mo money, and was expecting to see Tomeny, who had been to my house, but ‘hen gone; I loan iter, the mone} expecting to be pala beck t was not the fact tbat ‘ter spread out the papers On the floor; did not know what ter had in his Poi session; did not cael tie nPUTRoRe to steal the papers from 5 nbois and LA at atated subscanentiy Mar the papers were ‘to eertain parties in Ala- bama; was in to or eonnectéd with Tomeny: Tegarded himas a friend; was wi ‘omeny in Mobile as assis- taut special agent of government, recommend. ed by Tomeny; was with Tomeny several monthe, and in his employ ti the Go: ment since the lst clalméa the ownership of 450 pales of cottan at Mobile, which it was said belonged to the Government; kne: Ruter, Carpen' & Roverte; bad seen them at Mowile: Sad’ seen Ruter & Roberts, at Tomeny’s office; heard if ‘ot Robe: SES an pererite eet whether he lew of sny indictments fled againet Tomeny in the U.

The papers, according to witness’ recollection, were not in his house atter Dubois and ter left. Tomeny w: appointed assistant special agent at Memphis in 1864, Previous to that time he was secre- tary and treasurer of a railroad in Tennessee. ‘Witness had been telegraph operator and a clerk before he took agency under the Govern- ment. Went South to Memphis in 1392; was clerk in Treasury Department; trom here went to Vicksburg in same capacity, and reportcd to Mr. Tomeny; came under direction of Tomeny as assistant special Teceived a salary of five or #ix dollars per da: Toa question from Mr. Ridder as to what other means he had of living, the witness de- cliped to answer. Mr. Tomery and myselt have never had any transactions as to the die- tribution of cetton; was pow a resident of Flatbush, but did not meee up a very large establishment. I am notin Tomeny’s employ- ment at this time, and my only connection ‘with him was of an official character. Senator Patterson, of Tennessee, being sworn, stated thathe had known Mr. Tomeny since 1864. He had always been regarded as an hon- orable man, and bore the highest reputation fer integrity and honesty. Colonel R. C. Topp of Memphis Tenn, was acquainted with Mr. Tomeny—havy known bim fer upwards of ten years, while 1 was Pre: dent of the Mer oad, and his chars what at variance during the incipiency of the ‘war abont political matters, and there was some feeling Sgainst him, on the part ef the secessionists. but his reputation had never been assailed. While in my office he handled mil- lions of money and his accounts were always accurately rendered. Noman sustained ahigh- eY character than he did. Mr.M. L. Noell deposed that he was clerk in the Treasury Department; had charge of ap- Polntment of special agents. and very of ad settiement of their accounts; Tomeny had been connected with the Department for a number of years, and bis reputation was very good; witness had a desk in the Secretary's office: the only charges ever made against ‘Tomeny emanated from Roberts; all the papers preferred by Robertsagainst Tomeny had been examined, and the whole matter thoroughiy sifted, the result of which was that a noile pros. bad been entered, and Tomeny had been exonerated from crime. [Witness then ex- lained the characteref the charge against ‘omeny, which referred te @ profession of ownership to certain bales of cotton which | Winston had set up,and which belonged to | the Government.] Exz-Governor Parsons, of Alabama, was called for prosecution, and stated that he had been Acauninted with Roberts since 1866; met him at Willard’s botel, when he solicited of bim areigtance with reference to the examination | of certain papers. The papers were produced from a tin box, and among them were aMfda- vits charging frauds upon various parties in Alabama; owing to the voluminous character of the papers the examination was not then | concluded, and another appointment was Toade; but before the time arrived Roberts’ | room was robbed ; did not know Roberts’ gen- | eral charac‘er. | Toe question from the defence Gov. Par- sone stated that he believed some of the papers ‘Were copies and some originals; had heard Roberts say some of the papers were mere copies. James R. Bingham, Esq. of Memphis, has known Mr. Tomeny for eeven years, and had never heard his reputation called into ques Uon; while in Mobile in 1665, saw Roberts, bat Gid not make his scquaintance; there was 3 great deal of talk about him (Roberts) at timer, such tw create A very unfavorable imupressjon a8 to his character. 'o prosecution.—Did net come here under | patronage of Mr Tomeny, and was no appli- cant for would ‘not be register of bankruptcy for any consideration. The evidence here closed, and a recess of 15 mit s taken before the commencement of the argument. Upon reassembling, Senator Fowler, of Tenn., then Appeared aaa witness, and testified to the good character of Mr. Tomeny. ‘The argument in the case was then opened by Jud; dim behalf of the prosecution, who stated the charge which had been pre- ferred against Tomeny, and the place where it had been committed. He then proceeded to cite references in law With regard to jurisdie- tion, and contended thar the courts of the Dis- tret of Columbia bad full power over the case in quesuon. The next anestion to be consid. ered was whether the law had been infracted, and from the evidence wBich had been adduced be maintained that an offense had been com- mitted, and as the robbery had been proven, ‘whoever the Eaity party ‘was, he had perpe. trated a violation of Inw within the District. The speaker then referred to tne first report of theease which had appeared Im some of the papers, and stated that while it was incorrect in the main, yet he did not conceive that it did any very great injustice to the defendin, party. “A detailed report of the substance o: the evidence, however, had been published in the Erening Star, and as he believed it to be a correct statement in brief, he would use it for convenience. He then proceeded to read trom the Sfar the points seriatim, and commented upon the same as he went along. In conclu- sion, he thought there were strong grounds for oe against the accu: at be should be sent on ‘Mr. Cox, for the defense, maintained that th cbaracter of the les concerned was of ma- terial import, His client had proven a repu- tation forr ability and Bonet equal to any ore im the community, while prose- cutor and his witnesses bad been shown to be utterly omworthy of belief.
