Cook offered a resolution that each ‘ward select four delegates to the National Con- vention, and report their names to the com- mittee, who shall furnish them with certificates of election. After considerable discussion, Major Hall ot- fered @ resolution calling a convention of five delegates from each ward and the city of = for the election of delegates to CAFO. Mr. Cook favored the plan of the wards elect- ing the delegates, and he thought that the plan ot holding meetings in each ward (o select del- egates to a Dnstrict con vention was not as prac- tical as his plan. Major Hall thought that the city should not claim as many delegates as New York State. Major Morse suggested that the number of delegates be reduce Mr. J. delegates being elected by a convention. delegates, as the men would be ir wards test: and if a conven- subject to wire-pulling.

Gray & Noyes, of the Washington Iron Works. We hope this enter- prising firm may find frequen: use for it after the style m which we see it engaged yesterday and_to-day—viz: in transporting to the whart at Georgetown, for shipment to North Carolina, vin Norfolk, a large steam engine and some twelve tons of mining machinery. Inthe same connection, We may mention that on a visit to the river front to-day we found the Potomac Towing Company's steamer Gov. Curtin re- turned from the Arsenal wharf, (where she has been Inying some days under the heavy hoist- | ing crane th re,) for the purpose of having her old boiler aken out and replaced by a new boiler built by Messrs. Gray & Noyes. They have in repeated instances demonstrated their ability to supply betzer work and oa more fa- vorable terms than leading foundry establish- | mente at the North; and we are giad to see that heir s are Tecognized by the public. Their and position here enables them to on exceedingly favorable terms, as either by boat or cars these heavy articles can be sent to almost any pert of the South without reload. ‘yapsportation. —_o—___ Nationat Base Batt Civs.—At a meeting of the Nationa!

The ball bears the following inscription: “Awarded to George Fox by the National Base Ball Club for the best average during the sea- son of 1667." A statement having appeared in the New York Ease Pall Chromicic that Mr. Geerge Wright had led the score of the Nation- a1 Club and that ef the country for the season of 1487, on motion of Captain Frank Norton, the Corresponding Secretary was instructed to inform the Eitor of that paper of the error, and@ request him to correct the same.

Maryland avenue, and Sixth street south, were struck out, are based on a misapprehension of the facts. These appropriations were stricken out of the bill by the House in Committee of the Whole some days ago, and they did not come up for action at all yesterday. no effort having been madt to restore them. The House yesterday reduced the item for gas titting, plumbing, &c., from 990,000 to $5,080. ——_+—_—_ Tre Seconp Warp MrErryc.—We are in- formed that the littlesbow of feeling at the merting of the Second Ward Republican Club on Wednesday evening, had no reference what. ever to the Mayoralty question, but originated from Mr. Posey laboring under the erroneous impression that there was some business to be reported from the Executive Committee more important than speech-making. We also bear that Gen. Crocker does not lead an: Presidential party wing in tbat ward, and {s be! an aspirant to the chair of the Mayoralty, although some of his friends have used his ueme in connection with that office.
