Officer—“Well, never mind, let me feel your pulse.” At this moment oneof the officer's companions stepping up said. «Feel of his ribs, doctor, and sce if he’s fat.” The low gave a most dismal how! and a bound at the sme instant, leaping ten feet, and both he and his companion started off in the direction of the Ni ‘ard at a 2:40 pace, halloing asthey went, Lordy! de ‘Night Doctors!” One $f ihe men’ was subsequently discovered by Lieut.

A meeting of the laborin; trict was held last night at Law Building, to complete the organization of a workingmen’s essociation, H. A. Grant in the chair, and H. D. Bartley secretary. Rev. A. Bouldin, after offering prayer, made remarks favoring the objects tor which the as- sociation was formed, and said that the laporing men bad never xet been benefitted by the party orgenizations; their noses had been kept to the erindstone to the tune of $150 per day, and uring the past winter they could not get even that amount; only a fa few had been given work. When he was a slave in Virginia he could steal more in one night than a laboring- man could make now in a week. A slave who could not STEAL $10 WORTH IN ONE NIGHT ‘Was of no account. How are the poor people to do? They cannot rise urder such a state of things as this. The rich are getting richer, and the poor poorer; but the rich candidates for effice can always get the laboring men to do their hurrahing at elections, and afterwards the aforesaid candidates step m and carry off ail the plunder. In his opinion the eolored men were buch BEYTER OFF IN SLAVERY than now. az. it was time they banded together to break their fetters. Mr. Wm. Bowen said he bad been trying to get them togetber in the common cause. All they ask is work to do, and they were willing to take reasonable pay for a day's work. Mr. Bouldin asked Powen if they would be satisfied with $1.50? If so, this organization was of very little consequence. He conjended that it was not enough, and whep the work is commenced again they should DEMAND BETTER PAY. Mr. Bowen said he was for the highest rate— even $2.50, if they could get it, br must not expect too mreh. Tr. Bouldin moved that they catl ree, Con- ess and the President of the United to ix the price of labor at $2 per day; carried. r.

SIR CHARLES DILKE OPENS T PENSE OF A MONARCHY—REPUBLICAN SEN- TIMENTS CHEERED BY THE GALLERIES AND # REPORTERS—2 REPUBLICANS AGAINST ‘4 MONARCHISTS. A remarkable scene occurred in the British House of Commons last night when Sir Charles W. Dilke’s resolve to investigate the expenses ot the Crown came up. Viscount Bury rose to @ question of privilege. As members of Parlia- ment had taken an oath of allegiance to Queen Victoria and her successors, as the member from Chelsea had avowed openly that he was a republican, the Viscount wanted to know if, with proper respect for the honor of the Com: mons, the member could be allowed to proceed without repudiating — Here Lord ~ was interrupted by cheers = shouts, and there was much confusion on es. The Speaker said he saw nothing inconsistent with the dignity of the House in allowing the member trom Chesea to proceed. Sir Charles Dilke then rose to put his motion, amid great excitement and a storm of and cheers. In a firm and moderate tone of voice, he called attention to the civil! st, and then moved for returns showing the ¢aties of the Auditor, to whom he makes his reports, copies of such reports for each yearsincc the ac: cession of Victoria, the warrants issue 1 by the Treasury, with specifications of the classes in which savings arose, and to which accounts those savings were transferred each year; also returns showing the income and expenditures of the Crown from the Queen's ac to the present year, the amounts chi in the esti- mates for fees on installations, for robes, for collars, for badges, for royal presenta, the con- veyance of distinguished personages,the funerals of the royal family, for the coronation, for Finger of the Q.icen, the building and repair- ing of palacies, court ceremonies, allowance; to trumpeters, watermen, marshals and chamber- lains, and for services of the royal yachts for ten ears; aud, finally, for returns of the ineomes ‘rom the Duchies of Lancaster aud Cornwall, and the total amount paid the Prince of Wales. Sir Charles having succeeded in readi motion to the end, though frequentl; nee. rupted, proceeded fo support it in a set speech. Derisive a, was heard in all parts of the House—in the galleries, as well as on the floor during its delivery, and the confusion was at times s0 great that his voice was inaudible. He concluded by asserting that the civil list showed an increase Of £10,000, and the tax-payers be- — alarge portion of thé money was wart Auberon Herbert, member from Nottinguam seconded the Gladstone contradicted positively the state- ment the civil list has increased, and corrected Sir Charles sharply on other points. “One whe assumed to instruct the public,” he said, “ must at least be accurate.” After a great deal of noise and confusion, and the failure of three attempts to count the House, Lord Hamilton called attention to the demonstrations of persons in the visitors’ and reporters’ galleries, in violation of the rules. ‘The galleries was cleared, b ds reopened. After several attempts to adjourn and various dilatory motions the House divided, with the following result: For the motion. 2; aguin-t, zx. The result was greeted with cheers and laughter.
