Baker rose to a privileged question, that the member from the Fitth Ward (Mr. Arrison) be requested to give an explanation at once of his seeming imputation on any member of this Hoard by his remarks or suggestions of corruption. Mr. Crocker urged that this course was an- pariiamentary, and that the business of the Corporation should not be retarded by personal matters, Mr. A. P. Clark moved that committee be appointed to investigate the subject. rv. O. S. Baker ho) that his motion would be adopted, and the rd would cover noth- ing. Imputations had been made, and the members all knew at whom they were leveled, and the gentleman (Mr. A.) dares not meet them; and he demanded that the member explain ou the spot. ‘Mr Siowen moved that the Board constitute a Committee of the Whole. Mr. Arrison remarked that he was ready to muke good “his assertion. Mr. U. S. Baker said that a gross slander had bee uttered, which was unmanly, Mr. Clarke said the Committee could ascer- tain all the facts. ‘ Mr. Baker.—That’s a way to screen your riend. Mr. Arrison.—He needs no screening. Mr. Dalton suggested that the matter could be settled without all this buncombe, and as for reterring the matter, “the more it is mixed the worse it will smell.” Mr. Parker said that he had reported the bill at the request of Mr. Arrison,and be did not think that he (Mr. A.) could be guilty of smuggling. He had not fully considered the bill, believing that it was right. + previous question on the motion of Mr. 0.8. Hauer, was ordered. Mr. Crocker moved to postpone the subject one week. Mr. Arrison said that it was painful to him. but he believed the truth of the assertion that he bad made, and yet he may have been misin- formed. Ifsuch was the case no mau would | be more prompt and cheerful in recalling what he had ewid. The motion of Mr. O. S. Baker was adopted. Mr. Dalton—The gentleman of the Fitta Ward is impeached. Mr. Arrison said in order to give an expla- nation be would have to review the history of the bill, and stated that it was handed to him by Mr. Linviile, and he, thinking that it should Feperly come through the Committee Wharves, handed it te the Chairman of that Committee, (Mr. Parker,) and requested him to offer it, which was done: He was free to con- fess that he did not know the full yalue of the franchise. Mr. Linville stated that he and his rtner had purchased what is known as the Exnos property.and_ they claimed the wharf ges. The parties who were on this pro- perty, Messrs. Fannce and Gibson, were burnt out, and commenced the re-erection of their buildings, and Mr. L. inquired by what au- thority they were on the ground. They ans- wered that a certain member of the Gouncil had been there and agreed to get a bill through the hoards for a quid pro quo. Several members.—Give us his name. Mr. Arrison.—I do not want to go into per- ties, but it was a member from the First da. ‘Mr. Slowen.—As a member of the First Ward I demand that his name be given. Mr. Arrison replied that it was Mr. O. S. Baker, and proceeded to state that he had ben to see General Michler in reference to the sub- ject. who stated that a member of the Council bad been to see him in reference to the matter, and that, as the question was a mooted one, he had given the parties the right to the privilege, th the understanding that they should fight | it out afterwards. Mr. Linville bad applied for an injunetion m the courts, which was granted. and the case thus stands. This was his authority for making the imputation; and if the charges could be successfully refuted, no one be more glad than he, . S. Baker.—Mr. Pres ‘Tu Chair. The gentleman from the First Ward willcome to order. 1 will permit no further personalities for they have occupied the eniire evening to the exclusion of other business. M>. Raker.—It is not my fault. The Chair.—It was, sir; your questions of privilege have retarded the progress of the business. Mr. Baker.—Such a question is the right of a member and may last six days. The Chair.—_Not while I preside in this Board. On motion of Mr. Dalton, the rules were sus- pended that Mr. Baker might explain the sub- eet. “ Mr.O.S. Baker said he did not know Mr. Linville, and remarked that an inyanction had been procured against Messrs. Faunce and Gibson, whose business was thereby stopped, and he had been employed as their counsel to bave that injunction dissolved. He had been paid $15 as counsel fees, and had been at work night and day in the case. Mr. L. B.S. Miller asked whether his (Mr. Bs) action on the bill was not in the contract. Mr. O. S. Baker answered that he did not know such a bill bad passed until he saw it in the journal. Alter some further debate, Mr. Dalton moved to reconsider the vote by which the resolution to return was passed, for the reasou that the gentleman had admitted that he was employed as counsel. He was opposed to this Board going back on its record for that reason, and hoped the Board would put its seal of con- demnation om such a practice. The bill was now in very good hands—the Board of Alder- men—and he hoped it wouid be investigated by them. “A motion to lay the motion on the table was agreed to. ‘The regular business was resumed, following were presented :—By Mr. 0. ker—A number of petitions asking the of the bay bill: laid on the table.

KENOOURAGEMENT FROM ABROAD. A special meeting of the Journeymen Pias- terers’ Associntom was held last night; Mr. Barrett in the chait,and Mr. J. R. Gill, secre- tary. The Teportef the Executive Committee was read, which showed that a special committee Lad visit d Alexandria to procure employment for members of the association and other relief; also, recommending a change of delegates to the Work ingmen’s Assemoly. 1m con_unction with the above report, Mr. J. R. Gill, appointed by the Execative Commit- tee as a deiegate to Baltimore to lay before the focicty there the facts connected with the plas- ‘erers’ strike in Washington, rey that he had performed the duty ana him, and that ata special meeting of the plasterers held there om Friday night, it was resolved that no mem- ber of their association should come to Wash- ington to underwork our plasterers, and tha! they were willing to forward money as iong as there wasa doilar in the treasury. Mr. James O'Neill was qualified asa mem- ber of the association, 4 Mr. Stephen Gill, from the Standing Com- mittee, reported that on Saturday last Mr. Stew- art, plasterer, joyed two “scab” a atthe imen's Bureau, aod night one of them got intoa fight with John’ Lee, one of Mr. Stewart's apprentices, when the apprentice why him. Since then Lee had not been permitted to work, nor would Mr. Stewart give him his oer. Mr. Gili further stated that he bad call: upon Mr. Stewart, and that gentleman had intimated to him that he believed a plasterers bad encouraged insubordination among his ap- prentices. Mr. James Morrow disapproved of intarfe ence between the apprentice and bis fery oe’ but in the present case, os Mr. Stewart had re- fused either to take young Lee back or to give him bis discharge, he thought the assuciation should provide for him till employment could be had, and with the view of testing the sense of the meeting, he submitted a resolution pledg- ing the Journeymen Plasterers’ Society to the support of the party in question, r. J. R. Gall oppoeed all interference in the matter, and moved that the resolution be laid on the table. Mr. Tanner hoped the resolution would not be passed by in thix manner. ‘The young man in question had suffered because of his friend- ly disposition towards the journeymen plast- grers, and it would be unfair to “go back on im.”* Mr. Morrow said he did not care about the adoption of the resolution; but, since matters had taken the turn they had,he thought some Provision should be made for Lee. It had been objected to him, that he had struck a “scab” journeymen. Now, he thonght, that if all the apprentice boys would strike such blows, it would help the Society a great deal. Mr. J. R. Gill again spoke in opposition to the resolution, and cited the articles in the con- stitution in relation to fugitive apprentices. Mr. Coyne deemed any action at the present time premature and injudicious. The young man in question had not yet received his re- lease as an apprentice from Mr. Stewart, and until hehad, it would be a dangerous step to re. A member stated that Mr. Stewart told bim that he did not wish to discharge the boy, for he expected to have his old hands back again, and then be supposed all would be willing to come back. This was followed by evidences of approval of the conduct of Mr, Stewart, and the resolu- tion wes thereupon withdrawn. Mr. Morrow, Corresponding Secretary, sub- mitted letters which be had received from various societies abroad, in which most en- couraging expressions, remittances, and tenders of money were made. One from Chicago en- closing & hundred dollars, stated that more could be had, pledged « day's work from every plasterer in the place, and offered work for thirty hands; one from the New York Work- ingmen’s Union, represented that the New York plasterers worked eight hours 2 day at $4.50 per day, while $5 per day were paid plasterers at Brooklyn for eight hours’ work, and urging the plasterers of Washington to stand firm, and mviting them to come abroad ior work; also, from Portland, Me., announcing an appropriation of $300, and exhorting them to stand firm. as they must succeed, even if the treasuries of the Northern societies had to be im ptied. Mr. David Mahoney, Sr., reported that he had received one hundred dollars from the Co- lumbia Typographical Union No. 101, for their relief. : On motion of Mr. Mahoney, Sr., the corres- Pondence was ordered to be placed on file, and the Executive Committee requested to draft suilable replies to the sister societies who had so promptly come to their relief, An invitation having been extended to all plasterers out of employment who wished to leave the city to come forward and enroll ther names, the following therenpon responded :— John A. Smith, Deliab Goldsmitb, John Tan- ner, M. King, I. M. Proctor, G. Colston, Wm. Coyne, Jerome Columbus, M. Holtzman, A_ Bole, B. Edmondston, R. Cross, W. Sibley, M. Kenney and W. H. Hobbs. The Society volunteers to pay the fares of all these who are not able to do so themselves, to any point they may wish Messrs. D. Mahoney, Jr., J. Rosenburg and John Maho- ney bave already gone, ‘At this juncture’ sented letter of much bulk was received by the seceetary, which caused the exclamation from several person 3” “More money.” But manifest Polniment was shown when the secre broke the seal and found that the envelo} contained a copy of the Constitutional of sbout a week back, in which was el about the right of labor, as applied to the plas- terers’ strike; while on the margin of the same was written in red pencil the words “30 copies of this paper can be bad at the office counte: Thy Secretary, Mr. Gill, moved that the pa- per te rturned to the Union office, but subse- quently Jwihdrew his motion, at the request of Mr. Wm. Coyne, who Senge it discourte. ous to make soy such disposition and hoped the article would be read. Mr. Gill then attempted to read the article, but after proceeding few lines, he said that he had not the patience to goon. The paper was one be had taken once, but it got so large that he had to give it up. Mr. Morrow then took the paper and finished Tending the piece, when the motion to lay on the table was renewed, but voted down, and then the matter dropped. Mr. Coyne offered a resolution that no mem- ber of the association be permitted to work for either private or public employers for less than the society prices. In offering this resolution, he said that he did it to meet the question which had arisen in the minds of some that because plasterers in Government employ worked only eight hours, they should be privileged to work fer a little less, as private employers required ten hours for a day's labor. Considerable discussion ensued thereon: after which, the resolution was adopted u mously. A motion was then made and adopted, that the delegation to the Workingmen’s Assembly be remodeled; whereupon Messrs. J. R. Gill and others tendered their resignations; when, on motion, the Chair made the following a; jomtment of delegates: Messrs, J. R. Gill, jobert Muir, Albert Donaldson, Nicholas Mur- nd Wm. Coyne.

Gray arose to make an explana- tion relating to the money in the treasury, say- ing tha: he had been summoned to the meeting | by the Executive Committee, to render an ac. count of the money that had come into bis hands as treusurer of the ¢lub, Some tin n of ollice he said, the club had an ele Wis sick at the time and did not know it, 1 ther was he notified of the fact until lately, be bad not turned over the money in his 03~ session. There had come into his hands $41,90; the dish ments of the club had been $54.50 palance on hand of $7 Mr. John F. Cook moved that the report ot Mr. Gray and bis vouchers be received and referred to an auditing committee, The motion was carried, and the Chair ap pointed as the committee Messrs. John F. | Cook, Wim. Gray, and Charies Siphax. The committee on nominations reported the ? following names as the result of their deli bera- tions: “Henry Himber, (white,) and Robert Thompson, Wm. M. Sloan, and John A. Gray, (colored, ) alternates Mr. Charles Siphax moyed to postpone the consideration of the report until the next meet. | ing. West moved to adopt the report of the commit Mr. Wm. Siphax said that the Central Com- mittee had made the request for such an elec. | tion, but it was question whether it was ex. pedient for the club to do so. He said the Dis- trict had no representation in the Chicago Con- vention. On previous occasions the delegates from the District were excluded from like conventions. The District. he said, was not mvited, and if it had been invited its delegates would have no vote, and | said he, “As for us to a set of tools im the hands of a few designing men, who have axes to grind, the time as past, or should be.” He said it was a very easy matter for them to come together, have reporters of the press present to chronicle their proceedings and make them a laughing stock for the com- munity, It seemed tohim ridiculous for the city of Washington tosend fourteen delegates to this convention, for it was a larger number than the city of New York would send. In that Chicago Convention there would be the very best talent cf the country, and be would advise his Republican friends rot to send dele- gates there until they were invived. They of the District ought to remain at home and mind their own business, and leave that convention te the Republicans of the States, which had authorized them to act in the matter, todo their Own business without interference Mr. Lewis said the Chronicle said the District would not be represented at the Convention except by courtesy. He thought fourteen di egutes for this city too many, when the whole State of Minnesota would have but twenty delegates. Mr. Baker said he wanted the club to under- stand he had voted for sending delegates to Chicago, and he meant it. It was as much use to send delegates to Chicago as to send mis- sionaries to Africa. They never would have | gone to Africa if they had waited until they | wereinyited. He wanted the people to know he was a Republican. Mr. Charles Siphax said he would protest against sending delegates to Chicago unless the ward would pay their expenses. When a man | is sent by a body of men to represent their in- | terests, they should have their expenses paid, He did not think gentlemen nominated had muchsurplus money. He said he was adyo- cating principle. The money he thought could be raised. Mr. Thomas Martin said he hoped the gentle- men elected, would go to the Convention, and it they had the rane, they would foot their own bills. If they had not the money he hoped the gentlemen present would put their hands into their pockets and help them to some. He said there were gentlemen who had attempted to sell the Ward. Mr. E. Watson =aid Mr. Martin by his last remark had branded the whole Ward, and he therefore asked an explanation. If there were such men they should know it, that the finger of scorn might be pointed at them. Mr. Martin said at the proper time, he would give an explanation. Mr. Wm. H. Wormly thought it not expedi- ent to send Cre era to the Chicago Conven- tion. He thonghr it not just that men be sent to this Convention defraying their own expenses, and who would perhaps be rejected from the Convention. Dr. Green said if the Club were going tosend men to the Convention they should give them means to get there. He was feartul that they would not be admitted, and that the colored man would be left out of the platform for ex- pedient sake. Mr. Williams.—“Do all the States and Ter- ritories pay the = of their delegates to Chicago and back {"* The secretary said they did, or their expen- ses were paid for members. The railroads carried delegates to the Convention at half Pinir. Thomas Syphax said delegates trom the Digtrict would have to pay fall fareon the rail. road. He got his information from the ticket office. Mr. Albert Parker said that the delegates had better stay at home, and the money had better be expended in the next campaign. There would be nothing better for their opponents than Washington to send delegates to the Con- vention at Chicage, and for them so be re‘ecte i He moved thai motion to adopt the report be laid upon the table; which was carried; and the Club adjourned, THE OLpEst INHABITANTS.—The monthly meting of the “QJdest Inhabitants” will be held in the Council Chamber to-morrow at 3 o'clock p.m. Since the last meeting the asso. ciation bas lost three of its most ,valaed mem- bere—the president, Benjamin Ogle Tayloe, Gen.

CLUB.—Last evening, the regu’ of this club was held ‘at Rtot’s Hall, Mr. N, per ass ve James A. tan Polier, for some er ed at t, have ro far r covered as to be turn to their duties. ™~ . was held lastevening at the Lichau House; the Presi- dent, gn re 3g irogd mag? and poem Hogan, Secretary. Captain Wm, Geary, Geo. Savage, Jos. Hatlia, and several other Seti known Democrats, were present. Mr. Andrew Gleason moved that the minutes of the last meeting be laid upon the table. Mr. Wm. H. Hutton mquired if this meeting ‘wus & ward meeting. ‘The Chair informed the gentleman that it ‘was a meeting of the Fourth Ward Democratic Club, but the books were open, and any citizen of the ward could join. Mr. Hutton said the call as advertised was for the Democratic and Conservative voters ot the Fourth Ward to meet, and not for the Fourth Ward Club. He desired to ask Mr. ‘Wilsor. if he did not so publish the call. Mr. Wilson explained that it was pub- lished, though the meeting was intended for a club meeting, and new members would be welcomed. Mr. Hutton did not know why the call was for a war ting. Mr. Houlaban called the tleman to order. He was not a member of the club, and he shou!d not be allowed to take up the time. Mr. Thorn said if it was intended that the mi eting should be of the citizens of the Fourth Ward be would vacate the chair, but it it was intended as a club ecting, as president of that cinb he would preside. He extended au invi tation to all gentlemen who wished to partici- Pate tg join the club. Mr. Hatton refused to join the club, and re- tind. Mr. John Hogan moved that the record of the last meeting be laid upon the table, which motion was adopted. Michael Harrigan, Michael Farrall, Wm. Advms, John Duncan, Joveph Hamlin, and = Wm. Geary were elected members of the club, Mr. George G. Wilson said at the last meet- ing there was a motion to amend the constita- tion soRs to provide for the election of two vice presidents, He was in favor of this amend- ment. Mr. R. B. Owens moved that a committee of three be appointed to revise the constitution and report by the first of May next; adopted; and the Chair gave notice that he would ap- point the committee hereafter. Mr. Jos. Hamlin here entered the room with two new members. Mr. A. Gleason remarked that Mr. H. was the best member the club had, as he was bring - ing in the new members already. Mr. Hamlin went out for more members, re- esting all to go with him, saying that the fight would bea hard one, and it war necessary to secure all voters possible. Mr. Gleason inquired it the question of dele- gates to the Central Association would be se'- ued. There seemed to haye been two sets of delegates from this club present at the last meeting of the Central Association, which cre- ated discord. The Chair said be was notin the city at the last meeting, and did not understand bow it Was that another set of delegates bad been elected. Mr. R. B. Owens said he discovered tnat there Mere six delegates from this association, and but five from the other wards. He therefore moved to reconsider the yote by which the delegates had been elected, in order that five new ones could be chosen. Mr. Wilson said it was also stated that some of the old delegates could not serve. Mr. A. Gleason moved that the first delegates be authorized to serve, and if any were anwill- ing, or wished to decline, new ones could be elected in their place=. Mr. Wilton said the meeting was a large one and he thought it would be more satisfactory to all to elect new delegates. ‘The Chair thought the best way to settle the difficulty would be to elect new delegates. The Fourth Ward wes the first to erganize the Oen- tral Association, and the only ward which had Any difficulty about delegates. He wanted to see harmony, and hoped new delegates would be elected. Mr. McNamara thought that instead of the Fourth Ward haying honor for organizing the Central Association it had received the censure as he had been asked by one of the delezates by what authority the Fourth Ward organized the Central Association Mr. Kobert Ball the object of this meet- ing mattempting to organize a Central Club Was not to dictate to the other wards, but to mote the interests of those opposed to the dical party. He moved that new delegates | to the Central Association be elected. The Chair said the Fourth Ward w first to organize the Central Was only after earnest appeals that the other wards sent delegates. He thought by organiz- ing aCentral Association a room could be se- cured in & central location, where speakers could be mvited, and thus’ create a feeling which would enable the Conservatives to de- feat the Radicals next June. The motion of Mr. Ball to elect delegates was adopted, and the following named gentlemen were nominated : George Savage, George G. Wilson, Andrew Gleason, Jno. Hogan, Robert Ball. Jas. Ward. Dennis MacNamara, Gwen Thorn and R.B. Owen. The yore follows: MacNamara, 8: My Ts. Thorn, Savage, Wilson, Gleason and having received the highest number of jared elected. FURTHER PosTAL AcCOMMODATION—D-livery of Sail Maiter—On the first day of April the Letter Carriers will make five deliveries and six collections, daily, in the central portions of the city, and from two to three deliveries on the outside districts. No necessity exists for per- sons calling for their mail at the office, as this change will accommodate those who desire to receive their mail with promptness and dis. patch. The Carriers are honest and capable. and the public can rely upon being served faithfully. The collections from street boxer will be made frequently enough to accommo- date those who desire to send local letters from one section of the city to another. and they wil! find it greatly to their advantage to use the car- Fier system for this purpose. The dehveries will be m ®#. La. m., and 2 and 5:30 p.m. Collec. tions from outside districts will be made in time for mails going North, South, and West. In making the early delivery the Carriers an- ticipate much delay, which may be obviated by | household adopting the door letter box, and it is hoped that the citizens will immediately pro- vide them. By this means, ata very moderate expense, they can promote the convemence of themselves and their neighbors, and at the same time render an important aid to the public ser- vice. A request for the return of a letter w the writer, if unclaimed within thirty days, or less, written or printed, with writer’s name, post office, and State across the left end of the en yel- ope, on the face side, will be complied with, and it will be returned to the owner free of postage. Persons wishing their mail matter delivered by Carriers will leave orders at the Post Office, or with the Carner, Tae Case or MR. Samvni. StRONG—A Fur- ther Postponement.—This morning, Mr, Samuel Strong, who on Saturday surrendered himself to the Marshal, (a requisition having been re- ceived from General Schofield, commanding the First Military District, for him, as a fagi- tive from justice from Richmond, where an indictment had been found charging him with having obtained the signature to a promissory note by false representation.) was before Chie1 Justice Cartter.
