The signs 0! e times were that Mayor Bowen was politically dead, and nothing was left but to bury him in the’ most fitting place, and that was in the canal. He was not the only one to be buried, but there were his associates to be buried also, and the canal was large enough for the lot. [Laughter.} Chapfain J. W. Green said it was too early to talk about the canal, as Mr. Bowen controlled the affairs of the city, and he was the king as ration aftairs, and would do nothing to- wards cleaning the canal so long as he had the power. He thought they should work for a re- form first, as such reform was necessary. He spoke of previous meetings having been broken up, and the participants being ced as ‘ganizers. He denied that he was a disor- nizer, and if any man charged him with fein such he would say he lies! Ac lies/ HE Principle, tor for wenty mosthe he had et principle, ‘mo: no’ Lae pp as he had left off preaching and had worked for principle. He was glad to hear that there were some who could not be bought by “bread and butter.” anize. for’ the purpose st changing tre mant- ize for purpose e muni- Cipal officers, aud to, consider this teaolution in relation to the filthy, dirty canal was wasting valuable time. This ‘subject was a legislative one, and unimy t to the meeting, and he would not like it to go out that these regolutious were the first adopted. They are not worth consideration at this time. Mr. Crossman said that he was not in favor of the resolution in their present shape, and he was in favor of the bill jntroduced by Mr. Em- ery in the Aldermen. The neglect to clean the canal was one of the offences of Mayor Bow: who, he unde: , advocates a much m costly plan, and, as some charge, an impracti cable one. He could not say that the condition of the canal was the principal cause for agita- ting the removal of the capital. ir. Watson su; sted that the recommenda- tions of clubs had their effect, and that it was the action of some of the clubs that Mayor Bowen had lost his influence. ‘Mr. W. H. Brown, jr., said that they could not meet unless the hounds of the Corporation — beng ng af forma to en seagr ed ur] aving done uty Giga | a turber of the peace at a meeting, and having been tried on ¢ preferred by Henry Him- ber, a rebel prisoner, and fined by the Board of Police. The cleaning of the canal was an after- Eden, and he believed that they could do so when they have a Mayor with influence. There were those present who were igh on princi- ple and he would sooner that they should have a defeat on principle than win on policy. He was a Corporation officer, but they could have it, and he was not afraid to show his head, neither was Palmer Briscoe. Mr. Crane suggested a verbal amendment, which vas accepted. Mr. Philbrook again urged that the resolution was useless, and moved to lay the whole subject on the table; lost. ‘Mr. Watson contended that the resolution was an important one, and that the time could not better spent than in considering this subject. Mr. Crossman moved as a substitute a resoln- tion endorsing the bill before the Aldermen, Ss for the improvement of the canal; t, and the resolutions were adopted. Mr. D. M. Kelsey was called on and addressed the meeting, having prepared a lengthy address. He first reierred to the conduct of the “ bread and butter brigade” in attempting to break down free speech, which was a repetition of the conduct of the same partics last June, when the riotous proceedings assumed gigantic propor- tions and would have res:}ted ia terrible loss of life and property had it not been for the timely action of Major A.C. Richards. He described the second meeting, when ‘Bully” Brooks de- fied the police. Brooks was the acknowledged leader of the rioters, as was Preston Brooks the exponent of the slaveholders—both having been complimented for their ‘‘heroic deeds”—the latter at Charleston, and the former at the City all. Mr. Kelsey proceeded to speak of Mayor Bowen, who he said is known to be a candidate for re-election. He referred to Mayor Bowen having been the first President of the National Eqnal Suffrage A:soeiation, and occupying that position until through fear of losing one of his oficial heads he resigned. “H. parate board, and is now favoring mixed schools. He isnot now a member of Colored School Trustees. A year and a half ago ther was a floating debt of one an a har million, the assessed valuation of | prop. erty. fifty million, and taxes $1.25 on the $160. Now, the total valuation is ov hundred million and taxes at $1.40, and yet h was confident the expenditures will far éxe the income during the whole of Mr. Bowen's administration. m such a state of th exist as at present, it was time to attempra reform. In conclusion, he said, that during the riots last year, he called on Mayor Bowen ty ask his aid, and he replied that he would gu oat to the seene of the riot after he took his tea. Mr. Crane offered resolution that they regard! the recent appointment of H. A.

The were ado} Mr. Crane said that he had received a note from a gentleman who had been accused of waiting to see how the movement took with the people, and would read it that those present would understand that the charges were unjust and untrue. He read the note reterred to {rom Alderman Emery, regretting his inability to be present, and expressing full sympathy with the meg tiny fr. ‘. H.

The Chair commenced to speak to the resola- tions, when Heury Lacey said: ‘You let the Vice President take the chair and you take the floor to speak. I'll like it better.” “4 Mr. Himber did so, and said the resolutions were a surprise to him, but it was time for them tosbow their hands. The resolutions did not pledge the meeting to Mayor Bowen, but only approved his past course. Noman could deny that Mayor Rowen had falfilled all his pledges, and he hoped that the resolutions would pass at once. Henry Lacey, to test the sincerity of the mover of the resolutions, offered an amendment that: “The foregoing resolations shall not be con trued as pledging the ward to any person or persons for Mayor, but we do pledge ourselves, separately and collectively, to support who ever the regular convention may nominate. In pass- ing the resolutions we simply accord to him what is ipsty due him.” R. S.

He reckoned he was one of those eleventh-hour Republicans. ‘The Chair.—* Mr. Forrester, no personalities. Mr. Johnson is messenger to the Secretary of the Treasury.” Mr. Forrester“ Well, I don’t know him, ana he never will ride into office on my back.” Henry Paton moved that the committee be continued. R.8. Hulse hoped the committee would be discharged. [Cries of ‘That's it,” “ That's the talk.” Robert Thompson said there was no harmo- nizing with the Invincibles, and there was — left now but to wage war on them. Mr. T. Wilson inquired if they intended to wage war on the Invincibles or the Democrats, but the Chair ruled the question out of order. R. S. Hulse said they would never kneel and =~ s the fect of the Invincible club. [Ap- plause.. ‘The report of the committee was then adopt- ed, and the committee was discharged. The Chair seeing Mr. Alfred Jones in the hall, the following colloquy ensued: The Chair.“ Mr. Jones, how about the 22d of February? Can we get the hall then?” Several parties here an- swered. The Chair resumed.—*I don’t want to hear you all; I w: rr. Jones to answer.” Mr. Jones, (hesitati: )}—‘1 think itis.” [Laugh- ter.)

The Chair appointed Messrs. Carter A. icholas OW 0. T. Gant, D. M. ert Thompson, R. S. Hulse and Geo. ‘as the committee. Gant here arose and charged that the Invincibles were a crowd of disappointed office seekers, and among them were men who had tried to mislead the colored people by telling them that all the work on the streets, &c., would cause them to pay more taxes. But he wouldn’t mince words and he would call the name right out, and the man was Alfred Jones. (Cries of “No, no; that’s not so. Jones wouldn’t do anything of that kind,” and con- siderable confusion.) Mr. Gant, resuming, said he worked for his bread and butter. Thomas Williams asked him if he considered the Invincibles to be Republicans or Demo- er: Mr. Gant.—** WY; sir, Democrats.” 1, if you think we are Dem- you send a committee to try with us for? We didn’t send for you; didn’t want you, either.” Mr. Gant— Well, we went to you on the same principle that the Lord came ‘to save sin- ners. Mr. Alfred Jones then explained that no one doubted his Republicanism. He declined the first Republican nomination of a colered man for the mayoralty that was ever ‘made in this city; and pointing to the Chair :—* But for me, pe 9 a would never have been Commissioner of the ward, for you know the Mayor was going to appoint a certain colored man if I had said so.” Kesuming, Mr. Jones said he was satistled with his record, and that was all he lad to say. , The meeting then adjourned. ee ENFORCEMENT OF THE Liquor Law.—The Sergeants-at-Arms of the Senate and House have issued an order to Captain John Corson, Captain of Capitol Police, saying: “Joint Rule 19 makes it the duty of the Sergeants-at-Arms of the Senate and House of Representatives, under the supervision of the presiding officers of ted, or kept within the capital, or in any room or building connected therewith, or on b- lie junds adjacent thereto.” It having een publicly stated in the news- that the above rule has been secretly violated by the Keepers of the restaurants in the Ca) you and the case. wido: equitable claim to the dower.

Cincuit Court, Judge Cartter—VYesterday, the arguments in the case of Gladmon agt. the Washington and Georgetown Railroad Compa- to a child—were con- eluded, ge Cartter instroeted tho jury as follows: “That the duty of the parties to each other in the matter of caution must be tested by the law. The child was to be held to. the exercise of a child’s undeveloped judgment and caution, while the plaintiff was to be hel: to the full measure of an adult’s matured jud ment. The corporation was created to move v. hicles along a crowded theroughfare. The prior right of way along the thoroughfare belonged to men, women and children, of all grades of inte!- ligence, and the road must be worked with due reference tothis fact. But the company were not bound to run their cars as if oer ranin acom- munity of blind or deaf people. It was not their duty to furnish eyes or ears to the population. Each dividual was bound to exercise proper care in keeping out of danger —< high- way; and the company was to be held to no greater measure of accountability than the machinery—the cars and horses—which the law allowed them to use; admitted, of course, the company must not be expected to stop a movin, car within the time or space in which an indi- vidual could himself halt. It was true, that if the injury was caused by the fault of the child he could ‘recover no damages; but, in this case, the measure of the child’s fault ‘must be the child’s capability of caution; otherwise no action could be maintained for injuries to a child. In other words : That the want of care on the part of the defendant, and care on the part of the plaintiff, should be measured by childhood's capacity on the one hand, and the capacity of manhood in treating with childhood on the other.” The jury found a verdict for plaintiff for £9,000.
