W. Wright called the meeti to or- der, and stated Wat suggestions would pe rv- cetved. . H. stated that Georgetown was ww to subscribe towards the completion of the Lovdoun and Hampshire Railroad, but desired to co-opeiate with Washington in the matter. Judge Wright then presented a draft of a bill to be submitted to Congrvss for their actioa, empowering the corporate authorities of the ciues of Washingtos and (G: serite for the capital stock of the Alexandr Loudon and Hampshire Railroad Compasy Virg\nis, namely, the corporate authorities of Washington for mot exceeding —— shares thereof, and the corporate authorities of Georgetown for not exceeding —. The corporate suthorities of the two cities are authorized to give six per cent. bonds to raise fards tor their subscription; also, to raise. by taxation, & sum sufficient, in addition to divi- dends on stock, to pay the interest on the bonds, together with one per cent. for a sinking fuud for the fedemp'ion of the principal. The hola- eFs of said bonds sbali have a line on the rail. road. Stocks held by the respective corpora. tions as additional security tor the prinvipal and interest thereof, and the dividenas whic) which may be received from said rai!roat stocks, shail be applied by the corpora « orities, first to the payment of the iuveres their said bonds, as tue same sbu!l bscome doe, and the surpius, if auy, to the said sink. ing fund. It shail be lawful for the said rail. Toad company to extend their road with neces sary turnouts and switches to such poiut in th city of Washington as they may seiect for a de- pet, by and upon such sireet and avenues as they may deem most exigible, provided that the consent oi the corporate authorities of said city shall be first given to the use of such streets or Avenues, or any of them. Mr. Samuel Bacon moved to strike out the words “ Alexandria, Loudon aud Hampshire railroad,” and insert ++any railroad to wuick the corporate authorities of Washington aad Georgetown might be willing to subscribe,” so that the corporate authorities might be free to net. Mr. H. Kilbourn thought the amount of the subscription should be settled firet. ‘The com- mittee of citizens of Washington then agreed unanimously on the sum of one millioa dsl- jars subscr ption to the Alexandria, Loudoa and Hampshire railroad. Dr. Cragin and A. H, Herr, of the George- town Committee, agreed on one bundred thous- and dollars subdscrip'ion. Mr. W. H. Tenney, of the same committee, advocated three buudred thousand dollars sub- scription on the part of Georgetown, Dr. J. L. Kidwell advoc ited asking Congress for +xtended authority, so that the corporate autho. ities could subscribe to any road. Judge Wright was opposed to asking for such authority, as it would probably be vested in in ficient bands. He bad seen Western cities Pluoged inextrically im debt in that matter. Mr. Tenney and Sr. Cragin, ot Georgetown, thought that Wasbingtor should subscribe-a million and a balf of doil . Lf they would do that, Georgetown would cheerfully sub- scribe three hundred thousand doliars Tae Northern Ceutra! road was building th Baiti- more and Potomac road; John W.

The question of subs; Lookout Railroad was mm taken up and the Washington Commitiee agreed upon the sum of three buudred thousand dollars. The Georgetown Committee declined subscriniag to any of ihe Point Lookout Kailroad stock at Teeent, PIMr Kilbourn reid a letter from citizens of Frederick, in regard to thetr co-operation with the citizens of Washington to procure a chart for a road from Wasbing'on to Frederick Judge Wright said be bad conversed lately Wi'b some of the stockholders of the Baltimore and Obio Railroad, who stated that they and the citizens of Washington might set conjoiatly im regard to the railroad trom this city to Fred- erick, but for the obstinacy of the people bere. The bill for presentation to Uongrass was finally amended by inserting the amount to he subscribed by Washington to the Point Loo. ont railroad, and providing that the City Coun- cils shall direct how the vote on the shares of stock sball be taken, and was th-n adopted. A motion made by Dr. J. L. Kidwell that a cominittee be appointed to confer with Joba W. Garrett, of the Baltimore and Ohi Rul- Tond, met with strong objection, and was witli drawn. Mayor Bowen was then notified ia writing by the respective committees of their aviion, and the meeting adjourned Workivgmen’s Assembly—The Eight Nonr Movement. A regular meeting of the Workingmea’s As- sembly was held Inst night at the City Hat!, President Cook in the chair and Mr. E. Wie Murry Secretary. The COMME? 55 Jointed to petition to Con. Bree? for the passage of an act explanttory of the eight-hour law, made their report and snb- mitted a draft of the petition. whieh had been Pr-+ented to the Senate by Mr. Conness a short While previous to itsadjournment. Phe report ‘Was Secepted and ‘he committ+e was contina’d Mr. Flynn then ,called attention to the fact that ata late meeting of tne Columbia Typo graphical Union, a resolution was adopted Prescribing eight hours as a day's labor, and Under this regu’ation the priuters had’ been ever since +mployed. He wished to kaow Whether spy vther Trade’s Union had yet adopted tbe eight-hour system. T. Williams replied that the stone cutters had also been working under the eight-noar rule: but that that day one of the bosses iad notified the journeymen of theeraployer’ wish to renew the ten-hour rule, the wages to be cor- Tespondingly increased. The price being now 4-5 per day, but that they would pay $5 tor ten bour: Mr. Watkins thought st proper th Prov! m ehouid be made for wi cases of emergency: but if the ostensible obj-ct of the employing stone-cu'ters was to break Up the eight-hour Jaw he hoped their designs would be frustrated. The printers were work- ing on the eight-hour system, but sti! pro- Vision had been made tor extra work, and it Was not only quite frequent for extra ours to be put, but a compliment was implied to those reqiie-ted to perform the same. Mr. Taylor understood that the employer who had been alluded to as having wotitied bis employees of the intention of the master Stone-cutters to go back to the ten-hour ruie at $5 per day, was Nicbolas Acker. According to Mr. Acker’s say-so, he had been losing Monry ever since he had been tn busiue-s, aud yet he was now worth upwards of $20) 0 0. Acker, he said, could never be a journeyman stone-cutter becanse of bis incompeteucy, aud bis whole career had been one of opposition to the interests of journeymen stonecutters. Now be wished to break down the eizbt-hoar Jaw: but for one he (the speaker) would asv-r Work tu hours a day jor ten dollars. Tur whole object of the master stone-catiers . questing two hours (us over-work) rate increase was to break down tb boursystem, and if the journeymen su to it upon & plea of emergency for w completed it would all be emergency. Mr. Flynn said bis ideain making the in- quiry was only to draw out inform: be regretted the mtroduction of perso Mr. Rothwell alse regretted the personal marks which bad bean indulged in by Mt. Taylor, and it the desired point ot eizhi hours could not be gained wituout such |iuzaige Against employers, the subject had b-tler be dropped. The “bosses had a: the jour. neymen estone-catters in their effort tor eignt hours, and not a day elapsed after thy law hid been tixed upon by the stone-cutters before everyemployer in town was paying it He bad Tiect confidence ia Mr. Acker's integrity. je had worked two weeks for Mr. Acker and had received prompt pay. Mr. Taylor was about rejoicing, when he was called to order, and the chair ruled that per- sonalities were out of order. ‘An inquiry from Mr. Flynn as to the demor- zed condition of the carpenters of the city, and as = eee: ofthe assembly reform- ing them so it they might show some self- respect, establish & permanent society and fix upon an basis of work, brougat & to be forth a protracted discussion, in the course of which his branch of mechanical busiuess was eeverel verted Jupon, and the carpen- ters, a8 a class, were pronoauced “scallawags” andthe wien e reseed that unless they soon moved in bebalt of their own interests and dignity, the present wor:men would leave the city and give way to others. ‘he subject of the stone cutters’ dillicalties was again reenmed, when Mr. Watkins Bis req te down the eight hour system, be hoped it would be resisted.

Stood that the mosses" who bad already By several meetings, of the employers would be hexrd from before many days. Mr. Bereo thought if this was the case that the journeymen stonecatters wou'd then serve the employers right by not adhering to the de- mand to go back toine tem boursat the in- creased wag-s: but as the “bosses” had sig- mified their willingness to pay $5, tomuke thit the standard of wages anyhow, and #tick to the eight bou rs also. Mr. Taylor wished it understood that the stone cutt-rs were satisfied with their present wager and eight rmly believed that the offer ofan advance upon ihe pretext of ten hours’ work berg an emergencey was to brrak down theeignt hour law. There was no fear with the stone cutters. They conld take cave of themee! ves against the emplovers, and their triends of the Assembly need feel no a cacy in voting for the resolution of Mr. Wat-on, The resolution was then udupted and the As- sembly adjourned, See InsanR.—Officer Skelly yesterday a frera on tock to the central guardhouse au insane man named Wm.
