Some of the members and ex-members of the District Legislature a short time sinee held @ meeting at Legislative Hall and adopted reso- lutions to petition Congress for the following changes of the organic act creating the terri- torial torm of government for this District: i. To make the upper house (Goancil) alec- tive by the people. 2. To make three members of the Board of Public Works elective by the people. 3. That both branches of the Legisia- ture be elected for a term of two years, and be cosPicvousty 4. To give the Legislature full power to regulate all licenses for doing business ip the District of Columbia. A committee was appointed to arrange for ‘a mass meeting, irrespective of party,” to discass the questions at issue, which action culminated in the meeting last nigh, at Legislative hal. A mixed crowd assembled of ali ciasses, colors and conditions. The marine band was engaged and | stationed on the portico in front to draw in the boys and fil! up the interim between the WHO WERE THERE. Prominent among the crowd were Prof. A. M. Green, Nicholas Watkins yidway, Henri Piper, A. H. Underwood, K. S. Davis, Marcef- lus West, Wm. Beron, Charles Peters, Tuomas W. Chase, Amos Hunt, Dr. J. L. N. Bowen, Louis —_ . G, Hine, W. H. Dustin, Bill Brazil, Charles L. Hulse, Joseph Brooks, W. H. Clagett, D. Hadnell, M. E. Urell, Charies Walter, Dr. G. B. Purvis, Sidney Herbert, W. H. slater, W. H. Biss, Arthur Pannell, James Long. REGRETS FOR THE ABSENT SPRAKERS, Mr. Matthew Trimbie called the meeting to order and read the call, after which he stated that several prominent gentlemen had been in- vited to be present to speak on the matters at sue, and he regretted that so few of the were present. The German element in th District hati taken hold with them ina most. earnest manner; they had appointed a commit- tee to couperate with the committee from the first meeting alluded to, and through their ef- forts this large crowd had been gathered to- gether. He wished it distinctly understood that this action had no reference to or identity with the memorialists, or that the movement was a fight against the Board of Public Works. Among the prominent persons to whom Invita- tions had been extended to address this mecting he was sorry to sce but one oz two. These gen- tlemen had been invited without relation to party, and their nantes were used in the pub- Tenet! list without any authority; he would say this in justice tothem. He thought there were speakers enongh present to entertain the meet- ing, which he left in the hands of the people to take such action as they might think expe- dient. ELECTION OF OFFICERS. Joseph Brooks, of the Ist legislative nominated L. G. Hine, (the deteated can for Congress at the last election.) as chairman, and he was chosen by acclamation. Mr. Hing came forward and returned his acknowledge- ments, saying there were others present who could better state fully what were the ob- jects ot the meeting. If it was in favor of a change of government representing the citi- zens, then he wasin tayorot it. Dr. Purvis, L. H. Douglas, W. H. Slater, M. M. Holland and others, were nominated as secretary, but de- clined to serve, and Dr. J. L. N. Bowen was elected, with Pro M. Green as assistant. Mr. Trimble nominated J. M. Langston, Thos. McMahon, Peter Campbell, Louis Schade, Mattison Davis, John ©. Cox, De Vere Burr, Geo. W. Bohrer, M. J. Fitzgerald, Denuis Co nell, Wm. Burkert, Conrad Easun, A. Holsten, and Charles Walter as vice presidents, and they were elected. A PETITION TO CONGRESS, Mr. Urell submitted resolutio the appointment by the chair oj one hundred to petition Congress to grant th pointe set forth in the circular containing the objects of the mecting, and that said commit- e authorized to represent the citizens of Washington before the appropriation commit- tee of Congress, During the ri ling of the resolutions by Mr. 1 he trequently interpolated his own views, Mr. 0. S. B. Wall moved that the reading the resolution eed, aud let them be dis- cussed atterw At the cone m Mr. Nicholas Watkins got oor, and said there appeared to be A CAT UNDER THE MEAL somewhere and he proposed to let it out, he moved toamend by allowing the members of the Legisiature to meet every day in the year at the rate of $5 per diem pay. Considerab fusion followed this, aud after some di the motion was lost. The chair introduced Mr. N. G. Ordway who would * tell what be knew about it.” WHAT MB. ORDWAY KNOWS ABOUT IT. Mr. Ordway came forward, and after briefly rehearsing the acts of the District government, said that when the project was formed for 4 ange of the old I)istrict government and the formation of the present one he with many | others advocated it; it was, however, explicitly understood that the officers were to be e! lective, with the excepiion of two members of the Board overnment, who were to be appointed by the President. ‘his should have been the basis of the new government, and by such plan the Snancial balance between the two could have | been more equal and the credit of the District preserved. fe admitted that much had been accomplished In the way of improvement since the new government came into power, but the lavieh and loose expenditure of the public money had drifted them to sea. The qnes- tions which most interested us are: hat shall we say of the present, and what shall we do in the future’” He did not wish to cry down the certiticates and other paper representing the District indebtedness, but rather Go all he could to enhance its value and Testore the credit of the District. He had some $500,000 invested here, all he +a felt some interest in protecting the public credit. He believed the Council should be elective, as the tax-payers would be better sat- isfied. The present system of appointing these important officers is so Fepugnant that he had no patience with any who advocate it. ‘The Marine band here played a march, after which William Beron moved to amend the res- o.utions, making the offices of water registrar and tax collector elective. The Chair took no notice of the motion, but introduced MAJON M. BEHLE, AN ADOPTED CITIZEN, from Germany, who said that the institut: here were fast approaching the monarchical form in vogue in Europe; here we have no free- dom any more, no tree press. Hishearers must excuse him; he was but a Dutchman, and he couldn’t help it—his father and mother were Dutchmen. Much had been said Against the Board of Public Works; somesay “‘it’sallad—d He could not see how very much better it would be to elect the Board of Public Works, as they would bg a as likely to elect thieves as the President is to appoint them. [Here some one attempted to interrupt the speaker, when be ‘I'm doing this yay Some were in favor of electing them for three years, but he thought that was a a—d Jong time. It is also pro) to tive the license power to the Board of Public orks. As a German, he was not fighting for his © beer, but for a great principle. Any- body knows that a man cannot be forced to virtuous, nor can the strong arm of the law gov- ern our appetites. Virtue needs no compaision. The question which interests the Germans most ix whether church property is to be regarded by the constitution of the United States as exempt from taxation. Does the national government recognize a stated religion? He confessed that be did not own a foot of land in this District, but by — he paid bis board bills and bis rent. MR. WALL WANTS A CHANGE, ). B. 53. Wall wasthe next speaker, and Mr. ¢ - | said he wanted to put himself on record as favoring a change in the District government. After music = Marine band, the chair introduced Mr. W. H. Clagett who started out by saying that he was A VICTIM OP MISPLACED CONPIDENCE in men who had been put in power by their own rottenness, and are retained there by their own slime. Some call him a democrat, and he thought if he was all would in less than ten years tind themselves democrats too.‘ Ple living in his district had thought ¢ could represent them in the Legislative Assem- bly, but he wassorry to inform them that he bad been « failure. To be sure he had been | there every Gay and sat in his seat and had been & spectator to the most ou! us acts which had ever disgraced @ legislative body.

At the tea table the two men engage! in a little dispute, and, without further provocation. Farrell rose from the table went for his ritle. Standing within three et of bis guest he murdered the man, sending the charge into Bradly’s right side. After the commission of the crime the murdererlaid down on a lounge and told his wite and child to go to bed. Mrs. Farrell, suspectin that her husband | intended to kilt her and one child also, did not go upstairs, but they were sworn on the Bible hot to divulge the murder. To further set the | mind of her husband at rest, Mrs. Farrell began towash up the blood on the floor. Farrel! then bethought L nself how to dispose of the body He rememb red an air-hole a short distar from the house and resolve: to throw the corpse | into it. ile wanted his wife to help him carry | it_up the hill, but she pleaded weakness. As | Bradley was a large man aud Farrell small, the murderer could not carry the body himself. So he coolly made two loadsor it, by cutting it in two, using an axe and @ butcher knife. Thus Le was enabled to carry the parts up the hill, then into the air hole, where he expected they | Would remain undiscovered. But the horror of the deed was too much for the woman specta- tor. While Farrell was gone with his horrible | burden, she fled and gave the alarm and the murderer was arrested. Uppenzook.—A_ Weet saya: A vielt to the prison to-day in search of information concerning this untortunate mau revealed nothing new. His wife and Mr. Per- due, bis counse!, were in the cell with him, al! eogaged in sleep conversation. Tae prisoner is still hopeful of a new trial, in which event he expects to get off. His deportment in prison is good, and he is growing robust upon the pris- on fare. He sleeps well, and talks of nothing but the chances ct'a new trial. Mr. Perdue hav has worked very har for the doomed man, a d fs still doing. but @ lack of fands will before long compel him to close his labors. The three the Supreme Court has al. most expired; andthe paper book, for lac! funds, is not yet in the hands of’ the print Those by whom he was prompted to this have now deserted him, and he is left unc: tor save by his wite, who is ever ready to and with her limited means, to as meet his tate. It is expected, and there ood grounds for it, that Udderzook will eon- fess. when some startling revelations may be ex- pected. PROPOSED St RSTITUTE FOR THE PROHIBITO- Ry Law.—The Massachusetts Legislature Las before it, as a substitute for theprohibitory law, license law which shows great thoroughness and strictness in its provisions. It prescribes who shall sell, and on what conditions; submits the applications of all dealers to a commission to be appointed by the cities and towns of the State; graduates the rates for granting licenses; affixes proper penalties to the breach of the law: forbids sales at stated hours each day and on the Sabbath, as well as to intoxicated persons and to minors; authorizes the License Commis- sioners to make personal investigations at any time, and tocallon the constables aad polic empowers them to take samples of liquors e: posed for sale and pio ag them to analysis, and makes the license forfeit for three years when they are impure or of bad quality; and forbids the selling by a licensed person to any one who may be complained of by wife, husbaud, parent or adult as unfit to use @, by reason of habitual excesses, the condition of his health in conse- quence, and the neglect of his family and busi- ness.

He was represented by able counsel, and paid a little attention to some of the proceedings. Testimony elicited went to show that the magnesia, which unquestionably contained a great quantity of pure arsenic, was pot procured trom a druggist, but had doen furnished and prepared by mith himself. Furthermore it’ was shown that the doctor was Aware of magnesia being given tothe child, and had sanctioned the proceeding. When the child expired he informed members of the family that death had been caused by worms eating through the stomach, and when he left the house he took the bottle containing the poisoned mi ‘i@ away with him. Measures were taken to-day to exhutme the body of James McDonald, interred in the Charter Cemetery, who also died ” this magnesia, ‘and have his stomach submitted to analyzation. The evi- dence thus far would lead to the conclusion that Smith is either s consummate quack or a schemer of the deepest dye. Yet he could have had no motive in poisoning these innocent per- sons, unless it was a mania with him, as it has been with others. For instance, Mrs. Grinder was hanged at Pittsburg for such crimes. He was again committed to jail pending a farther hearing. A SINGULAR CHARGE OF BIGAMY.—A few months ago a young woman arrived in Portlant, Maine, of pleasing address, andsoon after be- ame the wife ot Mr. Edwin Waite, a young and respected citizen. A few weeks since there Iso arrived in Portland, from Pictou, N. 8., man {named John Waller, who claimed Mrs Waite as his wife, and also the mother of two children, wiow he brought with him, an! they allswearto her identity. The woman denied the charge, and insisted that she never saw or knew Waller; and he has instituted a suit tor bigamy, which has been commenced in the Supreme Court at Portland. The defendant ic about thirty years of age, and the prosecutor about the same age. The indictment cha: gel that the parties were married on the 2D of May, 162, and after a separation of seven years, no divorce being granted, she married Waite. It is charged that during absence from her husband, John Waller, in July, I-03, less than three months after her’ marriage wit!, Waite, she made a visit to Truro, ostensibly to see her uncle, she said: but that she passed on to Pictou, and remained tour or five days as Waller's wife, and was seen, known and recog- nized by her former acquaintances there. Wal- ler positively identities the woman as his wife, and the case, which isstill on trial, excites mach interest in the commanity. Waller and hischil- dren swear that the woman is his wife and their mother, but she denies ever having seen them, and maintains the most perfect composure. Waller charges that the woman who married Edward Waite in i873 was yet his wife, having married him in 162, no divorce having been obtained. THE GERMAN SoctmTigs Mass MeeTino 1x New Vorx.—A mass meeting was held last night at the Cooper Institute, New York, under the auspices of the Turners’ Society, Free ‘Thinkers and Society of Progress. The bu ld ing was crowded, and good order prevaileu. sdembers of the Turners’ Society, to the num. ber of 500, acted in the capacity of police. ‘Th. meeting was presided over by Dr. Lillenthal, and addresses were delivered in German by various speakers protesting against the con- duct of the police at the mass meeting in Tomp- kins’ square; their interference with the pro- posed meeting at the New York Assembly rooms, and denouncing the police as simply despots who were acting directly against the constitutional rights of citizens. Strong reso- lutions of indignation and protests were adopted. A deputation from the committee of safety male application to deliver an address before the qeeting. but were refused permission, on the ground that the meeting had no sympathy with the Communists.
