J. E. Thompson said that the Commit- tee bad deciged that it was best to have the | oney sold at auction instead ot being drawn for an advantage to be derived from that was thst any member could obtain the money by bidomg for it, while by the ballot system it might be drawn by @ person who did Rot need nd he would sell to another member at an snes of three or fourhundred dollars. The association would not realize any benefit from the premiam in this case. In existing organi- zat Ons the borrower made ail the money for the sssociations, and when he became a bor- rower his stock was cancelled and he got no ber efit trom it In the co-operative association when amem- ber borrowed it was intended that he should receive the tull vaiue of his stock at the time ©: porebase. The stock augmented every month. Many complained that :ue co-opera- tive associations would run longer than old ones. The difference was in these associations the money was loaned on time and paid back by mstalments of ten per cent while in the cid ones the premium paid for money was greaier, and of course they would wind up T, hough it was certain the co-operative ciations by selling their money at axuction ould notrun over nine or ten years, and ween years under the ballot sysiem. Should’a member wish to purchase a piece «property the Valuation vould examine the property : found to be worth the money, the association vould pay for the same. and the member vould refund the amount to the association in | asiallments of It per cent a A motion was made to strike out the initia. on fee of $}; but this was lost, that sum being ‘quired from each member to meet the ex- enses of the association. A motion ‘was made to amend the clanse in tle constitution so as to provide that the money stould not sell below 20 Ler cent., instead of 25. ‘The Chairman stated the object of this asso- sion was to have members adhere to the same, and have a class of persons who would borrow, and not two classes, one to borrow aud che other to let the money stay for the pur- pose of speculation. Dr. Howard said the object of buildmg asso- ig)ions was that every stockholder should get © o@ & purchaser of real es'ate by borrow- ing from the aasuciation. if the premium was made so low it was evident that the ‘ssociation would run a much longer e. The early building as-ociations bad such provision fixing the amount at hich parties should take the money when there were ne bidders, and the -onsequence was some of them lasted eleven years. Now this provision wAs inserted in all their consti- ‘ulions and few continued longer than seven years Iur. Norflet inquired how the borrower paid the amount borrowed back The Chair replied that the money was re- urned by instalments of 10 per cent. watil each share was worth 81,000. ‘The motion to amend was lost. Mr. Hilton moved to insert 10 per cent. as interest instead of 6 per cent., when a member sbouid draw out bis money: lost. Mr. Norfiet moved to amend so as to provide that rhe amount of premium could be added or deducted, at tbe option of the purchaser, and expiained his reason for the motion. A person might desire 33,5), and to have his premiam deducted he must buy out four shares: bat he migbt have the premium added and buy out but three shares. Adopted. Mr. J.E Thompson offered an amendment Suiborizing the Board ef Directors te accept cond mortgages when good. Adopted. The second Wednesday in each month was fixed as the time of meeting. Mr. J. R. Elvans moyed that a committee be Appointed to receive subscriptions; adopted; aod the Chair appointed as such committee Messrs. Etvans. Norfiet, Callan. Davis, and E¢son.

He has just returned from New York, where he purchased of Stewart the carpets for the com- mittee rooms. They areimported velvet carpets of rich patterns, and will arrive here to-day, and be put down atonce. The carpet for the Senate chamoer is being made to order by Crosley & Sion, the celebrated English manu- facturers. It is of velvet, with a red ground, and brown and black figures of a beautiful pattern, and willarrive in New Yorkon the steamer which is expected about the 20th in- stant. The same s'eamer will bring simi- lar carpets for the Senate corridor and ibe marble room, which are also manu- factured to order ty Crosley & Son. ‘The Senate chamber will be refurnished pre- vious to the meeting #f Congress. The new sotas and chairs are of black walnut, uphol- stered with red material, ornamented with neat gold figures. They will be very rich in appeurance, and will harmonize admirably with the walls, ceiling and carpet. Oar fair readers will be glad to learn thatthe ladies’ reception room is to be tastefully fitted up and durnished for the approaching session, an im- provement which was much needed, as the stone floor (which is now to be carpeted) and the bare walls have heretofore been sugges- tive of nything but comfort. As Mr. Alexan- der is agentleman of sound jadgment and good taste, we bave no doubt the apartment will be worthy of the object for which it is intended, and that the ladies will have no reason tocom- plain the coming winter ef the unsightly ap- pearance of the only apartment set apart for their usein the north wing of the Capitol. —-+-—__ S MyYstTERIOvS DEATH.—Abont noon yester day officer B.

The Mullen- Dillon Fiasco. James Clark, the stake holder in the match between Mullen and Dillon, has made the fol- lowing statement: “The tight which waz to have taken place yesterday within nine miles ot Washington, between Mullen and Dillon, was by me awarded to the former. the latter failing to be m the ring within the time speci- fied in the article of agreement, viz. between Sand 10A.M. Oyeter Jack, selected by the Dillon party, pitched the ring about four miles on the other side of Long Bridge. at a place called Hunter’s Farm. Mullen appeared in the Ting at.45 A.M, and after waiting sume time, his backer came to me showing me his watch, which then marked 10 o'clock, and claimed the fight. 1 told Aim to wait a few minutes, as the crowd was then crying ont that Dillon was coming over the hill. ‘In the meantime 1 went to three different parties around the ring whom I noticed had watches and asked them to see the time, which was then about five minutes after ten, some of the watches varying from a half to one and a half minutes. Mullen’s backer then came tome Sesin showing me his watch, which corres- ponded in time with the others 1 had seen, and for the second time claimed the fight, whicn 1 allowed Dim. Mullen then left the ring, but before 1 could get away Dillon and his handi- ers appeared, and wanted me to let the fight goon. I was told by different parties that if { did not let them fight my lite was in danger. I told them that the fight shonid take place at 1u‘clock, in orber tbat 1 conld get time to leave in the 1245 train for Philadelphia. There were a great number of pergons present, at least 54), who clamored for the fight to go on 1 noticed among the crowd one or two persons who were said to be part backers of Dillon. I may here state I took one of the watches that 1 had looked at st the ring side to Washington and compuared it with a regniator, in the pres- ence of six different persons, there being but one and a baif minutes ditferenc? in the me between them, which would leave the time that Dillon appeared in the ring at aboat five min- utes after ten.” “Oyster Jack,” the party appointed to sat the ring on the other hand, makes the follow- ing statement: “1 wrote to you for the purpose of showing the public that l have been wronged in the match between Dillon and Mallen. Dillon’s backers say that I sold out to Mulien’s party on Sunday. Butt Riley, Billy Beard and my- self met on the corner of Fourth and Master streets at 10 o'clock, when Billy Beard, one of Dillon's backers, gave me a piece of paper reading this way—‘~ miles on the Leesburg pike.’ ‘Then Arthur Mullen made it9 mites— he mhade thes intoa 9.

I knew these Mullen’s Were tricky, and tarned the wagon back to Washington, and thought 1 would stick to the man that picked out the ground, to be sure of it, forI knew who I had to deal with. If bad gone to the 9 mile stone they would have put up a ring on Bennet’s farm, for it has teen proved since that they had a set of ropes and stakes at the farm house, and Butt Riley of- tered to bet $25 on it with one of Mullen’s friends at Jonny O'Brien's place, in Wash- mgtcn, on that very Bight. Dillon was in the Timg at 2 minutes to10 A. M. by Washington Ume, and there weve disinteresied men in good standing, whol never saw before, offered to bet $1,000 against $100 that it was not ten o’clock, and Barney Mullen was in the ring then; so was Dillon, at two minutes to 10, and everybody calling out for the men to fight, but Arthur Mullen said he should not fight, and paaned his brother out of the ring. Then they rought the stakeholder, Clark, and he, im the Ting, before 2,000 people,satd that he would go and bring Mullen back, and there would be a fight. He asked Batt Riley how long he would give. Butt told him he would give him till 11 o'clock; he said if he would give Bim till 1 o’clock be would have him in the ring, and if he did not come ini he would give the money to Dillon. So Dillon went out of the ring. ang at five minutes to 1 o'elock Dillon came into the ring, took. off his clothes, and I made the scratch, and Dijion came to it, and walted till ten minutes past 1 o clock, but no Mullen came there.
