The meeting was held for the purpose of hearing addresses trom speak- ers from the Trades’ Union. The President introduced to the meeting Donald McOathran, Esq, who spoke of the <ondition of the workingmen when twelve hours was a day’s work, and contrasting those days end the condition of workingmen with the present day and the present condition of laboring men. As to the relation of lavor to capital, he said that labor instead of being in. ferior to capital, should be its peer. Sarue- men bad not the fortitude to stare capital in the face. but tarned sway from it. In speak- ang of the eight-hour question, he said it was impossible fo secure anything in that respect anless men would be faithfal to themsely: snd their fellow-men. Politicians, he satd, would never espouse the cause of working- men wutil they found it paid them, and when they got the workingmen’s votes they would give them eight hours as a day’s work. ‘The Chairman then introduced to the meet- ang Mr. John. Judd, who spoke on the eight- hour question and kindred topics. There was, he said, but one safety for the working men’s cause—close and thorough organization among working men. The eight-hour system would give to laboring men an opportunity for moral, physical and intellectual culture, and this they would demand as their right. The time ot work must be shortened, for the reason that Asboring men would do more work in eight hours. In the United States, he said, the Smount of capital invested in manufactories cwas $1.(9.555,715: the amount paid for mat rial employed, 1.031,605,092; the amount paid for labor. &: 906: the total amount paid dor material and labor, $1,110,484,058; while the market value of the amount produced from material and Jabor was #1.5~5,S61.676; deduct- ing from this the amount of material and labor, und there remained $475.377.61S as profit in iavor of capital. or nearly one-half of the whole capital. Speaking of co-operative ~s- scciations. he said they were exceedingly ad- ‘vantareous to the parties investing, Du! not so _the borrower. ‘The Chair called attention to the fact thata workentitled «The Wrongs and Rights of La- * by Mr. P.M. McGill, of this city, nad ntly been published here, and recommend- «dit to the working men. anti SoS TovRNAMENT IN MontTcoMERY County.— Yesterday, the tournament which was post- poned from the 17th of last month on account of the rain storm, took place near (Grace Church, Montgomery county, Md. and was very largely attended.

PES Tur Exciremsnt Last NiGHt.—The ex- Citement last evening throughout the city was intense, and the anxiety to henr the election Teturus was very great’ Pennsylvania avenue Was crowded until iste hour, and every place ‘where there was the least hope of getting any news was beseiged. The newspaper and tele- graph offices were visited by thousands of Persons, all anxions to hear the returns, and the interrogatories, «‘What do you know,” «What is the Jatest,” were put to every ac- quamiance met. Qn 1th street, about the offices of the Washington correspondents of the New York Zrii wneand World, a very large crowd was in attendance most of the night. Messrs. Jas. K. Young and G. W. Adams, cor- pondents of those papers, had made ample arrangements to haye the returns and dis- parches which were receryed by them at short Intervals. =peculutions and bets were the or- der of the evening al! over town, and @ large mountof mopey has changed hands on the result. Of course the D+mocrais were jubi- Jantover every dispatch received showing Democratie gain or majority, and not a tew of them indulged rather treejy in the use of ardent fpirite; however, no disturbance took place. —— Tue Potomac TaansrorrTation Compayy A meeting of the committee appointed to so- cit subscriptions to stock of the proposed sicamer line to run on the Potomac river was held last night in the Hoard of Trade room. Cxptain Ryther stated that the prospects of success for the enterprise were very encour- sging. but subscriptions had not yet been so- licived, as the Committee had been looking af- ter two steamers to run on the line, and see ‘what they could be purchased for. One party iu New Yerk offered them the steamer Gen. Sedgwick, three years old, to be sold at her Valuation, and one-half of her would be taken in stock by the party selling. Mr. T.S. Nelli- ger, of Norfolk, was present at the meeting and offered to the Committee, on behalf of Norfolk parties, the steamer Orient, two years oid. One half of her would be taken in stock by citizensain Norfolk—the steamer to be sold i her valuation. Thoug! bscriptions had not been solicited, yet there was uo cout felt by the members of th® Committee that all the stock would be at once taken, &S soon as ready to open books. ‘We hope the tine will soon be ready to com- mence operations, And we feel satisfied of its comple CENTRAL BUILDING AssoCiATION.—Thesec- ond annual meeting of this association was eld last evening in the Qouncil chamber, ty Hall.

THE REGATTA SEASON.—The success which attended the late regatta of the National Yacht Cinb has awakened in the minds of those fond of the sport an earnest desire to secure another before the season closes, and with tbis object in view Major Watt. of the Cottage Restau- Tant, who is the alpha and omega of the club, has been repeatedly importuned by owners of fast craft to take the subject under considera. tion, and urge upon the rest of the society the propriety of making immediate arrangements for the consummation of such, an enterprise. ‘The proposition is not entirel yéiisfavored, and the probability now is that the race will be announced ere the close of the present month. Already a sufficient number of boats have asked for entrance to ensure a lively and weil contested «skim over the waters.” A meeting of the club will be held at an early evening to consider the matter. ——__ ANOTHER PRIZE FIGHT ON THE TaPis.— About the most popular pastime now indulged in is prize fighting, Searcely a day passes that we do not hear of one or more as having occurred, and arrangements ip progress for others soon to follow.

Two vessels in the stream with wood for mar- ket. movements of the same sort in almost every city fn the country. this hope was not realized. Something over 87.000 was however raised, almost entirely in Washington city, and thi: sum was invested by the treasurer in Govern- ment registered bonds. The amount raised was thus carefully busbanded, and in the meantime designs and models for the pro- poet monument were offered to the managers y Various artists. The one finally decided to be the best and most appropriate was that pre- sented by Mr. Lot Flannery, (of the firm of Flannery Brothers, sculptors,) known by the fine monument over the victims of the arsenal explosion, and by anumber ef lesser works, busts, groupe, &c. A contract was closed with Mr. Flannery, to-day, by wnich he to erect a monument to be built of white marble, and to have a total height of, 36 feet, inclading a statue of Lincoln 8 feet high, made of Italian marble, the monument to enclosed by a suitable railing; the monument complete, ac- cording to design, to be ready for dedication on he 14th of April, 1963, for the sum of $7,000. Of this sum, $3,000 is to be paid on the signin of the contract; $1,500 on or before thi of January, and $2,500 on the completior the work, he to give full bonds for the faithful execution of the work. The model for the statue Is an admirable likeness of Mr. Lincoln; the pose is dignified yet easy, and eminently characteristic of the lamented dead. We are certain that it will meet with universal accep- tation. It has been decided to place the monument in front of the City Hall, at the intersection of Four-and-a-hait street, Indianaa avenue, and Louisiana avenue. This isa most appropri- ate site, being not only the most conspicueus place attainable but it is a position that will identify the monument thorenghly ‘with the city; which is most proper to be done since the citizens of Washington contributed the money to erect it. Washington will have the honor te be the first and only city in the Union to erect a monument to the memory of Lincoln.

GovERNMENT ULERKS’ ASSOCIATION.—Last evening the Government Clerks’ Association held their first meeting in their new rooms, at 416 Seventh street, . D. M. Kelsey, of the Treasury Department, in the chair,and Mr. John W. Hogg, of the Navy Department, sec- retary. Mr. Kelsey, who was recently elected president, on taking the chair, briefly address- ed the association, tendering his thanks for the honor conferred upon him, and urged that the officers and members should co-operate with each other in measures tending to advance the interests of the association and the clerks and congratulated them on the prospects. They should take measures for petitioning Congress to establish a hbrary for the use of clerks in some convenient location: should visit the heads of departments for the purpose of col- lecting the miscellaneous books in the depart- ments, and placing them in one library; should take measures for obtaining from Congress a law extending the additional 20 per cent. com- pensation; apd jastly should apply to Congress for * charter that the association may be a permanent and useful one. These are the fields of labor for the association, and he saw no reason why the association should not be one which wonld benefit the clerks not only socially, morally, intellectually, but pecuni- arily, and the members should impress it on their fellow clerks that the association was ore which would benefit them. Mr. J. P. Bradley, of the War Department, and Mr. George Bartle, also briefly addressed the meeting. and subsequently the members present engaged in conversation as to the Objects of the association, and especially the 20 per cent., during which tt was urged that it would not require so large atnount as pre- viously to pay it, because of the reduction of the force of the Departments, especially of the War Department. It was also said that the prospects of obtaining the continuance of the extra compensation was quite cheering, it the petitions could be placed before Congress on the lirs! day of the session. ‘The present officers of the assocation are as follows :—D. M. Kelsey, President; B. F. Stem, Wm. Anderson. Vicé Presidents; John W. Hogg, Recording Secretary; M. Howell. Cor- responding Secretary; W. Duane Wilson, Treasurer; J. E. Brady, George Bartle, C. H.
