The delicacy of their labor can be best appreciated when it is known that there are over cighty appli- cants for forty-five seats.

Mr. Patrick Calli- nane was proposed for membership. Mr. R. S. Davis referred to the public school ques- tion, saying that the republicans were shed- ding crocodile tears and claiming especial guardianship of the schools. To show where the democracy stood, he offered resolutions That the free school system of the United States is the brightest star in the galaxy of the repnblic; thatthe democratic party has been, is now, and always wiil be in favor of free schoois, free press, free speech, free traie and gold and silver; that nostate shall make any law respecting an establishment of any religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof, ard no money raised by taxation, for the support of public schools, shalt ever be under the control of any religious sect, ete.. ete.

Young and Ewer, of this city, and the Philharmonic Society as the chorus, numbering one hundred voices. Tue andi- ence was a critical one, but the rendition of this great work more than satisfied them. Titlens’ noble vocal i had full play in the grand passages of this oratorio, aud ‘her audience could better judge her superiority asasinge: than by the concert programme of a few weeks ago. Messrs. Ewer and Young both had leading parts, and their singing was worthy of their reputations in musical circles here. Titiens’ fluest efforts were greeted with the warmest recognition on the part of the auditors, and during the evening she was the recipient of a very bandgome basket of flowers. The chorus Was directed ¥ Prof. Caulfield, and Prof. Walter presided at the organ. Altogether, the performance showed the ability of our home talent to give the best music of the masters in bangin gon style, as with a lesser light in place of the great prima donna the performance would have been in every way creditable. With her it was a brilliant suc- cess. a THE SUIT AGAINST W. H. OTTNAN.—At Richmond, Va., on Thursday, the chancery suit and attachment proeedings of the United States va. W. H. Ottman, et al., begun in the corporation court of Alexandria in August last, and lately removed to the cireuit court of the United States for the eastern district of Virginia, came up in the court upon the motion of Ottman to quash and dismiss the attachment for errors in tha proceedings.

The motion to quash was argued by Ottman’s counsel and by the district attor- ney and Colonel Ball, of Alexandria, for the government, and was submitted: Judge Hughes took the Lng in the case and will Probably announce decision to-day. ———— THE New JAtL.—General Crocker, the warden of the jail, has this week been en- gaged in transferring the prisoners from the old building in Judiciary square to the new 4 tructure pear the Washington asylum, and if the weather proves fair b; ‘ednesday ages the whole number of prisoners will be safely housed in theirnew quarters. Already 60 of the prisoners, mostly under sentence, have been removed, and they are engaged in cleaping up and preparing the building for oceupaney. There will be a community of about two hundred persons there before the week is out. The officers speak in high terms of the arrangement of the new building, and are perfectly satisfied that when completed it will be the ar oes prison in this section of the country. They are not partic. ularly anxious, however, to have many boarders, so it may be as well to state that the prisoners are not so well pleased with it eee TRE LITTLE Acropat.—Yesterday. the examination of witnesses in the case of Zaulo Poole, the little acrobat, was continued be- fore U. 8.
