_EVENING STAR. LOCAL NEWS. The Comteated Child Case. ‘The case of the eBild of Ella MoCall, be- fore the court om a writ of Aabeas corpus, Was resumed before Judge Fisher in the District Gourt at noon to-day,.. Messrs. Norris and R. J Retry nog ter Mr. Aiken, Cay ges «, ‘erry. Price, and ry, Yor the respondent.” eee Gen. Terry stated that the mother of the child was not entirely satisfied; that having been 10- tormed Dut twWo weeks ago that she was the ‘oper person to have custody ef the child, tor the Court had said so, she felt that she was, She does not wish, however, that Mr. and Mrs. Aiken should have the custody of the child. All she wishes is that the child shall be placed om the care of some proper person, so that sne eould have access io it. y had witnesses t© prove that Mr. and Mrs. Aiken were not the Proper persons to have the custody of the child, and they would ask the postponement of the ase until Monday. He understood that Rev. Father Waiter is willing to take the child and Place it in ebarge of the Sisters for such time as the Court may think Sit, or until satisfactory evidence is produced ef the permanent refor- formation of the mother. Mr. Brent thought that it was time for this case to terminate. As for what had been said im reference to Mr. Aiken, he was a man and be eould defend himself, but what bad been said as to Mrs. Auken was falseand malicious. Me argued that the Court should discharge the child, leaving it in the custody ot Mrs. Aiken, and directing her to take it to the Orphans’ Court. Gen. Terry said the question was whether they should have time to imtroduce evidence, which would, if he was rightfully informed, sbow that Mr. and Mrs. Aiken were not the Proper cusicdianus of the child. He expected to sbow that the law was not as stated: that it did not contemplate taking the custody of aa ildegitamate child from the mother, where she was able to maintain it. It bad been intimated by the Court that the mother was not the proper person. and Mrs. Aiken not having the rigbtfal custody of the obild, what ebjection could there be w placing it in an orphan asylam. "Fr Court bere conderred with Rey. Father Wailer, and stated that the latter had said that tums were under bis charge, and that be would take the child for a longer er shorter riod PStr Norris replied first to Mr. Terry, saying that an illegitimate child was the child of the people. would like to know by what means Father Walter came into the Court. As for whathad been said against Mrs. Aiken the counsel knew nothing, and he defended her as a jady of high accemplishments and character. Mr. Aiken could defend himself, being a man. Mrs. Aiken had the temporary Custody of the ebiid under the order of the Court, and she should at least bave the child until the case could go to the Orphans’ Court. It would be ervel to tear the child from her and piace it in an asylum. ‘Mr. Brent said that the woman herself handed ever the child to Mrs. Arken, and the very hibits of the respondent show that of all the omen in the world Mrs. Aiken is a proper person to have charge of the child. He would only say that Mrs. Aiken was a hizhly accom- plished lady, the mistress of nine languages, and whose attachment for the child is mar- lous. While he could not speak a word t the conduct of these asylums, he did not think that the child would be benefitted in one to the extent she would be in the care of Mrs. Aiken. The mother was privy to giving the name to the child by which she is knowu— Cora Hermania Aiken. Mr. Perry, for the respondeni, spoke of the Tespondent as being honorable, compared with those who attempted to rob her of her child. The Court said if Father Walter had appeared and made his tender on Wednesday, be would have given him the custody of the child. How- ever degraded the mother, the fact is that she has the feclings of s mother and a yearning for the child, and her feelings should be consulted. He thought that he could place the child in the eustody of a gentleman, one against whom aught had never been uttered, who says that he can keep st out of harm's way, and he would therefore order the child in the custody of Rev. Father Waiter. Of course this decision was made without prejudice to amy person, aud Proceedings may be taken under the act of Assembly. Atter some discussion as to the form of the Recessary order, the child was placed in charge of Father Walter. who, accompanied by the mother, left the Court House. i Youxe Men's Stywove AND BLAIR Ctvn- ‘The recular weekly meeting of the Young Men's Seymour and Blair Club was held last #vening at the rooms of the Conservative Army and Nayy Union—the president, Mr. Josepn Bradley, jr.,in the chair; Mr. Kenjamin Nair, secretary. Some twenty gentlemen were pro- Posed and elected members of the club. The ohowing gentlemen were elected honorary members —B. F. Morsell, John A. Stewart, Job W. Angus, Jobn Purdy, and Thomas J: Gait. The Chair announced the following com- muttees, under resolutions adopted at the last meeting:—Executive Committee—S. J. Wailes, FP. Browning. Jobu E.

Meeting of the First Ward Republicans ALDERMAN LARMAN SEVERELY CRITICISED. A meeting of colored of the Fires Ward was held last night at the National The- logical Tustitute building, cormer of 2d and I Streets. The meeting was late in organizing, (after nine o’ciock,) because of the delay in rocuring candies, this mode of lighting the Bonding being necessary, as the Gas Company bad tarned off the gas. Cornelias Clarke, chairman, on calling to order, stated the object of the meeting 10 be to Mr. Jobn Q. Larman, on of the representa- tnves of the ward in the Board of Aldermen, since the last election, and what steps are eceseary to induce bim te resign. William H. Lewis, secretary, thereapon submitted the following preambie and resolution Whereas Jobu Q. Larman, Esq., one of cur Tepreseniatives in the Board of Aldermen, seems to have changed Dis sentiments, in a po- litical point of yew, since his election to that Position; And whereas his course, by absenting him- self from the regular meetings of the Board, and thereby preventing legisiation, is mot ouly detrimen the interest of those to whom he owes his election, but equally so to all the cit- izens of this ward and of the whole city, with- gut respect to party differences or opinions: Theretore, Be it resolved, That in the opinion of this meeting, the aforesaid J. Q. Larman, Esq., sbould either attend the regular meetings of the Board of Aldermen, or immediately resign into the hands of his constituency desiring the Prosperity of the city, in order that the work of legislation may go on. George Garrett moved thst the resolution be Iaid on the table in order that another which bad been prepared, and which he wished to in- troduce, might be read. Mr. Lewis advocated the adoption of the pre- amble and resolution presented by himself. He thought the matter a serious one, and it was prudent that the party in the First Ward sheuld pursuea cometlistory, Moderate course. Thay could not compel Mr. Larman to resiga, and he thought the easiest way was the best. There are hundreds of men in the city’s service who could not get a cent of money for their labor till this matter was settled, and if Mr. Larman chose to continue the course he had been pur- suing, he could keep them ont of their money for twelve moaths by preventing legislation. On motion, both sets of resolutions (Lewis’ and Garrett's) were read, and the substitute adopted. [The substitute differs very little from these introduced by Mr. Lewis, as above quo- ted. On motion of George Garrett, the Chair was authorized to appoiat a committee of three to present the resolutions just adoptegfto Mr. Larman. The Chair appomted Mesérs, Thos. Martin an¢ Wm. H. Lewis, (colored,) and Mr. George T. McGlue (white) as said committee. Mr. Lewis presented a bill of $7.20 due Sam- uel Brown for two dozen Roman candles, used on the night of the mayoralty ratification. Upon the reading of this bill considerabie ‘whistling and other marks of surprise were in- duiged in. Walker White said the party to whom the publican, and club was indebted was a good had been in the army. George Garrett desire to know whether he was in cavalry; because if he was, he thought him “mighty good on a charge.” [Laughter. Robert Brown thought the account shoul be referred to a mass meeting of the citizens, as the ratification was a party affair. The Chair decided that the present was a citizens meeting, and that, therefore, the subject was proper legislation. After some further discussion, the treasurer was anthorized to settle the claim if there was any money on hand. Jerome Johnson submitted reselntions 10 reference to the sudden demise of Hon. Thad- deus Stevens: hat this meeting deeply sympathize with his family im their sudden bereavement,” &c. Mr. Johnson supported his resolution in ap- propriate remerks, when the chair (interrupt. ingly) suggested that thematter be taken into more formal consideration, and bop d that a meeting would be called of the citizens, when speakers would be selected, suitable resoiu- lous be presented, and good’ music would be procure: Mr. Johnson concluded his remarks, when his resolution passed unanimously. Carter A. Stewart moved that a committee of" five be appointed to make suitable arrange- ments for & general meeting of the citizens ef the ward, to give proper expression to their feelings on the death of Mr. Stevens. Wm. H. Lewis seconded the motion in a few remarks J. H. Crane. white, Commissioner of the Fourth Ward, was called upon to express his feelings on the subject under considera‘ion, and responded briefly. After saying that Hon. Thaddeus Stevens was a good and great man, sn earnest friend of the poor, and a consistent Republican, he said that there was another | question whieh the meeting had passed over without giving it scarcely any consideration. ‘That was the base treachery, as he termed it, of Mr. John Q. Larwan, one ‘of the First Ward Aldermen. He was astonished at the conduct of this Judas Iscariot, who had basely betrayed his party. Such a scoundrel, he said, dese ved the execration of all honorable The man who would pick the locks of bis residence, break into his safe, and rob him of his money, ‘was honorable compared to him, Mr. Larman. His (Mr. Crane's) pockets were suffering, and so were the citizens,formoney justly due them, hecause of this man’s treachery and perfidy. He did not think that Mr. Larman had honor enough to Tealize his degraded position, and catled upon the Republicans ot the ward to bring him to his senses. The whole blame of tw dead-lock” in the Councils rested on Mr. Lirman; the stigma should be put upon him, sad there it should stay. He had betrayed his party. Mr. Crane, in conclusion, said he had caimly weighed hix remarks, and made them ‘with & full view of their meaning aud respoa- sibility. Q. Richmond, Frank Geise, 5. C. Busey, Dr. S. E. Lewis, snd the president, J. H. Bradley, i. Mr Richmond said as there had been some Misubdersianding about the arrival of General F. P. Blair, and the funds col!ected for the pur- pore of defraying the expenses of the reception © would offer a resolution that the Treasarer of this club shall a it in the banking house of Lewis Johnson & Co. the sum of money collected from the citizens of Washington for the purpose of giving a welcome to (jeneral Bisir. subject to the order of Joseph H. Brad- ley, Jr.. president of the Seymour and Blair Clad. The resolution was unanimously adepve. ‘© president announced that he had rece ‘Ved ‘uckets for pic-nic by the Seymour Club, to be held on Saturday. Hedisclaimed any knowl- -dge of the affair, and a resolution was adopted “that the Young Men’s Seymour and Blair Club disclaim auy connection whatever with the proposed pic-nic at Seventh Street Park ‘Saturday evening.” A communication was re- ceived from the Sixth Ward Seymour and Blair Clab returning “thanks to the Young Men's Seymour and Blair Club fer the kind invita- hon to jcipate in the reception of our dis- tmguished nominee for Vice President, Gen'l ¥. P. Blair, and will name a suitable commit- eet confer with yours at an early day, A committee from the Jackson Democfatte As. sociauon anmounced tbat cnéir association Feacvea Oarmsi’s Hall tor the campaign, And invited the Young Men’s Seymour and Biair Ctub to unite with them in making vhis hal] their neadquarters. The matter was Mr. McGlue was about addressing the meet- ing on the same subject, when Wm. H. Lewis rose to a point of order, He thought this digres- sion entirely inappropriate, The subject under consideration was the death of Hon. Mr. Ste- vens, and it Was in bad taste to lug in debate on Mr. Larman’s case. The Chair coincided with Mr. Lewis’ views, end put the question on Mr. Stewart's motion tor @ppointment of a committee to make arrangements for & memorial meting. The motion was carried, and the following com~ mittee was appointed: Mesers. Oarter A. Stew- art, Richard Brown. George Garrett, Jerome Jobuson, and Wm. Uoke. Mr. Stewart stated that public notice would be given of the arrangements made by the com- nlite. 'r. McGlue was then called on, and made a few remarks about Mr. Larman. He said that Mr. L.’s course had been just what he expected when the party refused to permit him to resign sometime since. He told persons at that time that bis reignation should have been received, and that there would be canse to regret that 1 bad not. He did notexpect Mr. Larman to re- sign, but as he had been appointed on the com- m:ttee he would do Dis best to get him to do #0. Wm. H. Lewis approved of what had been said. Like Mr. McGlue, he had his doubts about Mr, L.'s resigning. In fact, he felt sure that he Would not; for in a conversation which he bad bad with Mr. John «. Larman’s brother, that gentleman had informed him that he and Others had been to him to get him to re- sign, but had received the reply that there was not money enough in Washington to induce referred to the executive committee. The club adjourned until next Tuesday eveniag. and proceeded in a body to Carusi’s Hail, to listen to the speakers announced. a Pore ArrieCipgr.—The Northern Produce Company, Pennsylvania ayenue, beeen fith and {1th streets, who have achieved a decided reputation for the variety and excellence of their stock, send us a sample of pure apple Champagne cider, made in the State ot New York, and bottled by themselves.
