He wished also to show that this boy bad been seduced, inviegled into this affair, and while be ‘would criminate nimself neccesarily, they expected to coroborate his statements by cullateral proofs. ‘The Justice remarked that he proposed to call the minor charges first, and as the case hid deen putoff from Monday to this morning, and the withesses were men of business whe could not Well afferd to lose time, he could not con- -ent toa further postponement. He therefore cailed the case of the two boys charged with burgiary, In entering and stealing from Mr. Lewis's house.

The house had | teen fired in three piaces—the kitchen, cellar, snd parlor, @matuass having been se: on fire w the parlor. When the boys were artesed they aamitted that they had taken the goods | irom the bonse. and each emarged the other | with being equally guilty. A charge of larceny of a lot of paints, toois.

Mr. Jobnson asked that the bond in the case of Finnacom be reduced to $250 or abated, and denied that there was any evidence tending to Show that these boys committed the crime. He did not deny that burglary had been commitied; but}suggested that the amount charged to have bern siclen did not reach $100. The Justice remarked that the parties were given to prowling, and were dangerons to tne community. As for arson, {t was a heinous offense, and in view of the evidence he could Lot couscieniiously reduce the bail. ‘At the request of Finnicom’s father the boy will be Kept at the station until this afternoon when he will arrange to give bail. Smith was committed to jail in default, and Conrad Miller, for receiving stolen goods, was cum- mitted in default of $500 bail. — THE Prestpgeyt’s Visit To BALTIMORE — President Jobnson did not as contemplated go to Baltimore this atternoon to visit the Schuet- zen Park, although every preparation was | made for it, being compelled as the followmg | note will Show, to pestpone it: Co...

" ‘The regular meoting of the Workingniéa’s. | Acdembiy wel bela last might ip the Ball of the Board of Aldermen; the’ presi@ent, Mr. A. T. avis, in the chair. Mr. Beron, from the Executive Commi tie, stated that he had expected to present a report at the last meeting, Dut could not do so in quence of ihe difficalty of getting the members of the committe together. Im this connection he took oceasion to enjoin spon mama bere the impor/ance of prompily fally attend- ing to the duties and’ obligations allotted to them. If it was necessary to have eammittéss atall, it was unqnestionably the duty of the members of those committees to discharge their labors. The president, from the Printing Committee, stated that he bad had three hundred copies of the constitution and by-laws printed tor the use of the members, which were all that was necessary to obtain at this time. Mr. Judd, corresponding secretary, called attention to the clause in the constitution ‘whicb provides for the erasureot the names of al members of the Assembly who were sent tbree cOnsecuttye meetings, without cient reasons therefor, and suggested th: ihere were several delinquents in this respect, he boped the rale would be enforced against them. The secretary was accordingly directed tostrike the names of such persons from the roll of members. Mr. Judd 810 laid before the meeting a com- munication which he had received from Mr. MacMurray. Secretary of the Columbia Typo- grapbical Society, notifying the Assembly that the Society of which he was a Secretary, hav. mg surrendered all matiers relative to trade Tegulations to the charge of the Columbia Typegraphical Union, No. 10!, the delegates Tepresenting said Society in the Workingmen’s Arsembly will be withdrawn therefrom on and after the third Wednesday in September next. This step had become necessary on the part of the Typographical Society. because of the fact that it was a beneficial organization, which rendered it a distinct body. The subject concerning the beat mode to be Adopted by which the interests of the Assem- bly could be promoted, was taken up, when considerable discussion ensued thereon. Mr. Beron adverted to the fact that s Visit- ing Committee had been sppointed by the As- mbly to go around among the different trade cieties and urge upon them the importance of snstaining the objects for which the Assem- bly was designed to accomplish. Taat Com- mittee, he thought, had failed to perform its tuuctions, innsmuch as be had scarcely heard of any society represented in the Assembly having yet been called on by them. Mr. Reed, Recording Secretary, thought it important tbat something sbould be doue to enthuse an interest in the minds of the mem- bers of the different trade societies for the gen- eral good of the workingmen: but as to the most practical, efficient way of accomplisk- ing this object, it was a difficult matter to de- termine. Tu his opinion, public mass-meetings should be resorted to, at which addresses might be made by various members of the as- sembly. Meetings ot this character would doubtless be well attended; then there might be inculcated a more consolidated feeling among mechanics. which would better enable them to cerry out any measure which should | be brought forward’ for their advancement. ‘The eight-bour system was important, and as the time was not very fur distant before the meeting of Congress, nothing should be left undone to precent an entire unison of feeling between the workingmen in advocacy of its adoption. Let there then be frequent open- air meetings, and let the eight-hour measure be strongly urged. | Mr. Wm. R. McLean briefly addressed the meeting in defence of his position as one of the | Visiting Committee, who, it had veen charged, | bad been somewhat derelict in duty. and re- Jated his experience in several attempts to per- | form his duty. In nis opinion, the Visuing Uommittee could not accomplish the object for which it was appeinted, in conseqnenee of the diferent trade organizstions having rules which excluded all persons outside of their cratt from their meeiings. The most effective way, he thought, would be for the trade or- ganizations to hold meetings, to which Dele- | gates to this Astembly may be admitied, and with this object in view be woald offer the fol- lowing resojntion: Resolve, That the Corresponding Secretary be requested to correspond with the various trade organizations, and invite taem to con- | vere meetings of their trades for the Parpose | of besring addresses by members of the As- | | sembly upon the eight bour question and the amelioration of the condition of the laboring classes. ‘The resolution was earnestly seconded by | Mr. Judd and others, atter which the vote | was taken and it was adopted. | Mr. Matumgly, from the Committee on Pic- | nic, reported that the expenses of the late pic- nic at the Seventh street Park were about 400, | and the receipts in the neighborhood of #300. Some cross-firing ensued between a number of the officers of the Assembly as to who had been most regular in attending meetings; at- ter which, on motien, the meeting adjourned. Citizens’ Co-orRRaTiveg MRETING.— An adjourned meeting of citizens favorable to the establishment of & co-operative grocery store, wae held last night at Woodward’s Hall, Mr. Pearson in the chair. A report was submitted by Mr. 0. Golden, of the Committee on Subscriptions, which stated that he bad met with conunued success in his canvaesing, id as @ strong desire had been manifested to see the constitution and by-laws, he hoped that the same would be printed as soon as possible, A resolution providing for the appointment of @ committee to nominate persous for exec. utive offivers, to beelected at the next meet. ing, was adopted, and the chair appointed Messrc. McEiwaim, Johnson, Elis, Golden and Lincoln. Upon motion’ of Mr. McEle | Wain, the chair was added to the committee. | _,Mir; Crossman, in referring to a statement { made at a previous meeting, that a resolution would be offered excluding grocery dealers from the aseociation, disclaimed any sinister motive in coming to the meetings, and desired to co-operate with the consumers. as he thought they should with the grocers. It was his ear- nest wish tbat the enterprise should succeed, for he believed that its objects were intended. for the general good. Several speakers made briet remarks, disclaiming any intention on their part to exclude grocers: one of whom (Mr. Lincoln) thought as the business of the Association would be a more extended one, the grocers would be benefitted by the privilege of purchasing at retail. A resolution was offered by Mr. Carpentsr, providing that when the officers are elected they shall serve until the second annual meet- ing in January, 1£69, unless sooner removed for cause, provided that of the directors elect- ¢d, the three having the bighest number of votes shall serve until January, 1969, the re- maining three to retire atthe firt annual mneeting of the association in July, 186°. The Constitution and by-laws were then ta- ken up, and after some unimportant modifica. Uons. Lbey were adopted. and @ motion mai e and carried that 500 copies be printed for the use of the members. A motion was carried providing forthe elec- tion of officers at the next meeting of the As- sociation, atter which the meeting adjourned. ———>—_—_. FIRB OIN ALEXANDRIA Last NIGHT.—The fire which occurred last night after 12 o'clock on Pitt, between Prince and King streets, was caused by the burning of Jehn Powel rshop, a portion of John Summer's coagh shop. a dwelling adjoining. and a large wooden building used A Summers to keep timber in. Thomas L. Monroe’s paint shop, Higgins & Powers’ plumber shop, and seve- ral wooden shops were badly damaged. Powell lost all be had; $3,000 would perhaps cover the loss. The shop was evidently set on fire. The heavy rain assisted materially to put out the fire which burned aiowly, and apd went out in aboutan hour. The Friend. ship Company’s men were on the ground, but having no hose, (owing to the neglect of the ouncil) could do nothing but assist their comrades. There is a fearfal responsibility resting Q the City Council for their dere- liction of duty.

Of course, measnres were adopted to render strikes more efiective, mm case it should be necessary to resortto them as a last alterna- tive: but the proceedings were generally char- acterized by good sense and practicability. It they carry out the co-operative principle, and set Up on their own account when they differ with employers to am extent that causes a ces- sation oF work, they would not only improve their condition, but set an example that other trades would be likely to follow. The Germans have advanced a long way beyond the renseless system of strikes. They work for what they can get, and when they seea chance for bettering <heir condition they club their sayings and establish a co-operative factory. This method has immensely elevated the con- dition of the mechanics and artisans of Ger- many, and its introduction in this country is a good sign of progress. But it seems curious tbat the tailors should be more backward than any other trade in establishing co-operative stores. The chiet capital required is a needle, thimble, pair of saears, and sitting room, These are easily attainabie, and with the addi- tion of a little brains and business talent, of which there shonid be no lack. they onght to command plenty of employment. The city ought tobe dotted with tailors’ co-operative stores. But it would seem that the facilities at their command produced the too common effect of checking enterprise.” at oe Tue ReGATTA—The grand regatta under the direction aud supervision ef the Brunette Club will take place to-morrow, at noon, starting from a flag-boot anchored oppost Sevensh street wharf, and sailing down Tiver, rounding flag-boat oif Fort Washing and returning to the starting point. steamer Wawasset will accompiny the re- gatta, and Keep with the suiling fl-e', so that all on board can witness the race chroaghont.

He saw the other day the object of his adoration in a buggy with a young man who appeared to pos- sess the affections of the lady in fee si:nple. He undertook to personate Uthello, but te use 2 pistol instead of a pillow. He heard th =t the Partie intended an evening ride on Tuesday. He stationed bimseif at the corner of a dismal alley leading by the corntield above the Po- tomac Gardens, where be bebeld the lauy and her other beau, named Ohristian Frame, com- ing on foot. He fired, and the ball from hi weapon passed through the leg of Christian's pantajoons, inflicting a dangerous but not necessarily fatal wound on that useful gar- ment. Phe wounded man was taken home, the lady having given intensity te the alarm created by the crack of Nelson's pistol.

After the serme: very interest- ing prayer meeting was held, at which 9 number of penttents presented themselves, snd several professed conversion. This meet- | ing was one of the best we bxve yet bad, and did not close until near 11 o’clock.

And as he reasoned of righteousness, temperance, and judgment to come, Felix answered, Go thy ‘Way for this time; when I have a more convenient season I will call for thee.” Dur- ing the deltvery of this sermon much feeling was manifested by the congregation, and 3 feeling of solemnity rested upon all.

Yesterday, judging from some premonitory symptoms on the partof John, that he was going to repeat the experiment and thereby forfeit the bail bond, he carried him before Mayer Latham and surrendered him to that fanctlonary, who coinciding in the justness of the Spprehensions entertained on the subject, sent John Travis to jail. A corner grocer of our city, living oppesite the river tront, dispenses to those who relish it A compound made up of whiskey, gin, St. Croix, Jamaica, brandy, Madeira, stomach bitters, and Port wine.

Mayor Welch's Joes in damage to carpeis and (orniture, was increased by the muddy condition of the Poto- mac water used by theengine, the hose being nearly choked with mud. and the water issuing therefrom being thick and full of sediment, Atter the fire had been subdued, ine United States sieamer Hibernia, arrived at the scene of action, but its services were pot re- quired.
