Mr. B. replied that if Kirby owed him that sum that he was good for it and would pay him. The colored man said he had been a long tine doing it, and he would have the money or sometning ‘else. He then passed on and up stairs towards the engineer's office, and presenily came down again in a run, sipping by Mr. Buckly into the street, running xt full speed.

A YOUNG MAN BEATEN TO DEATH BY UNKNOWN RUFFIANS. Last evening as OMicer McDonald, of the 6th police precinct, was going his rounds, he re- ceived information from two citizens, that a mon had been assaulted on P street, between 17th and isth streets. The officer hastened to the Lope nai See aes pavement helpless and speechless, & young white man who had been terribly Wounded about the head. It was soon ascer- tained that the sufferer was Mr. George Philij Hirth, a rT doing business at No. 1504 140 street. He was taken at once to the drug store of Mr.T. Morgan Bal tront P street circle, and] Drs, Van Aroum § ‘and ae oe were summon: ey responded promptly, but pro- nounced the case a hopeless one, and Hirth died within twenty minutes after their arrival. He never spoke a word from the time he was found. Mr. Hirth was some 22 or 28 years old, and was formerly employed in Sinclair's grocery, also on i4th street. He resided with his brother oa Pierce Place, besween 14th and 15th streets, to which place his body was taken. For some time past he had been Paying: his afidresses to Miss Ella Stoclair, daughter of his for- er employer, residt on 19th street, ‘tween R and § streets, and he had been in the habit of closing his store after 7 o’clock and spending the evening with her. Last even- ing he left the store at 7:20 o'clock, taking with hin a few dollars in his pocket, and it was only about 10 minutes afterwards when Officers Mc- Donald and Hintun were called to the case, and he was found wounded, as stated above. Ser- geant Saffell and Oflicer Gant, of the second ecinct, arrived shortly after the injured man been takea to the drug store, and the oc- cwrence having taken place within their pre- inet they took charge of the case. It seems that a gentleman and lady had stopped at the drug store before the victim was brought there and said to the clerk, “Four men are beating a man to death up here;” the clerk ordered the colored porter to go up and see what the matter was, but Té was afraid; that a few minutes ater Geo. Hurley, a white man, and Thos. Wil- itams, colored, came down P street and saw young Hirth lying on the Lees as they pecughe in a fit. Hurley picked him up and the blood gushed from his eyes and mouth. Sergeant Saffell went at once to Major Morgan’s house, in that neighborhood, and telephoned to police headquarters for the officers to look out Tor the assailants. It was found that there were two frightful gashes on the back of Hirth’s head, cutting through the skull, and an im- mense swelling under the left ear. The doctors were of the opinion that a cleaver or some such instrument had been used. Sei it Saffell at an early hour this morning arrested Moses Ross, alias “ Rocksy,” and Babe Bedford, both col- ored, on suspicion of being concerned in the affair, The latter formerly worked for deceased, and last night, when the body was taken to the drug store, he was one of the first parties ob- served hanging around. Coroner Patterson was summoned by telephone last night, and ordered a jury summoned for noon to-day. Hirth’s pockets were found rifled of all valu- ables, and his goid watch was gone. Coroner Patterson telephoned to the fourth precinct station house this morning that, in consequence of Dror engagements, le could not be present to hold the inquest until 2 o'clock, ARRESTS. The excitement In the neignborhood of the murder this morning was intense, a large crowd. of men, women end children belng on the ground and officers running around to obiain a clue to the perpetrators of the brutal murder. Last night, as stated, Officer Saffell ar- rested a colored man named Babe Bedford on suspicion, and this morning a boy named Wm. Myers picked up a bloody searf, which was recognized by several as similar to one worn by Bedford, and it will be so testified at the coro- nor’s inquest. Moses Ross, another colored mar, was also arrested, as above stated, by the officers of the second precinct on suspicion and isheld at t police station. Very suspicious circumstances are against him in’ connection with the murder, it is said, and there are others yet to be arrested. DEVELOPMENTS TO-DAY. It is also a fact that the street lamp on the opposite side of P, between 17th and isth streets where the murder was committed, was extin- guished, at the time of its occurrence. ‘The sidewalk is covered with blood which flowed in- to the gutter, showing that nearly all the blood flowed from the body of the unfortunate young man. Nothing has occurred for years which has cased such excitement and indignation as this murder, and lynching is freely and openly advocated by many as just retribution Lt. Guy, of the fourth precinct, and his officers to act at the close of the inquest should any developments indicate who the ruf- fans were and where they may be found. The two men arrested were seen last night about 7 o'clock with a gang of roughs at the corner of 23d and M streets, on their way to the “camp” in Heli’s bottom, a place said to bea general rendezvous for thieves and bad characters.

Detective Voss arrested about 12 o'clock to-day Edward Queenan, a young colored thief on suspicion. He was found in Sam- son street. and it is stated that he was arrested about a year ago for larceny, and went through the Police Court and sent to jail, When he got out he accused Hirth of being the cuase of bis arrest, and threatened vengence against him.

Coroner spectors Pawerson called the’ jury into.a private room with Major Brock and Captain Vernon, where a postpone the inquest until Saturday at o’clock a. m. in order to develop more proofs. Dr. Hartigan made an autopsy of the deceased this morning, and found three clean cuts through the sealp on the bi part of the head und the skull terribly cracked in various ways, as many as forty pieces being loose and the brain obtruding. 10 A NEW CLUE. Detective Vosshas f a new silver dollar on keeper in the vieinity of the edy covered with blood which he had ex- ged in payment of drinks furnished two jored men—one a barber. On visiting the barber he ascertained that a colored man had applied to have his moustache shaved off last nightat a late hour, and as he could not make te vight change, the customer invited him to ihe saloon to take a drink and that he tendered this dollar in payment. ‘This may afford an im- portant clue to the murder. —— usements, &c. ‘AL THEATER.—The new opera “Car- 1S sung by the St Kosch company in a hat delighted th The ic of the opera is was sung by and piquant actress.

He safd that it Was well that they should understand the terms of the call, and he read it for the purpose of arguing upon a time and place for holding a national convention to adopt a platform of principles and select candidat for President and Vice President. They had a high object in view, and had brought ther representa- tives from every section of the land—trom the piney woods of Maine to the fertile pastures of Texas, They must fight, and if they unite they will make themselves felt. The democratic ard republican parties may have their differences, but the greenback party is united on the first broad principle that the productsof labor should be distributed. ‘There is not a man who does not believe that the National Bank system Is a fraud. Why can’t we representative men from all sections unite? There never has been such an opportunity for action as this. Money may crush us down, but we will rise again. Let us look at who oppose us. First, the repub- lican party—Grant, Sherman, Blaine. Grant, the strong man, [A voice—The empire} for when the constitution is not strong enough he is over and beyond the constitution. There is an un- written law that there shall be but two terms to the presidency, and the third term means danger. Then there is Sherman, the represen- tative of the banks. Jackson had put down the national banks when we had but 30,000,008 peo- ple and now Sherman is the representative of that interest—the unproduetive class against the productive class. That was the second point we can 4a on. Then there is the third—Jim ~ Blaine—who embodies all bad qualities of the first. The war has been over fifteen years, and Biaine says “transmit this fight to your children.” ‘Then there is the democratic party. (Applause.) Can’t accuse it of the empire; but they would embrace it if they thought they could win thereby, and they Would flaunt the bloody shirt with more vim than Blaine for the same purpose. They were totally devoid of principle, and he would pre- dict that they would nominate a hard-money manora hard-money platform. He predicted that the republican party would have a split in it, and urged the greenback party to be united and make themselver a power. TEMPORARY ORGANIZATION. Major J. M. Sanderson, of Lynn, Mass., was then elected temporary chairman; 'Mr. Fish.and Col. Mills temporary ‘secretaries. Mr. Dewees then turned the meeting over to the conference. Major Sanderson made a brief address on tak- ing the chair. ir. Buchanan, of Indianapolis, moved the appointment of a committee of five on perma- nent organization. Mr. Buchanan’s motion was Oe and Mi . C. Plum- . Trevelick, the committee. A motion to take a recess for the registration of names was carried, and a recess taken. During the recess Mr. Trevelick stated that the committee on organization desired that two names be added to the committee, and Messrs. McLane, of 8. C., and Brittan, of Ala., were added. On resuming business Mr. Davis, of Peansyl- vania, moved that MRS. CHANDLER, OF PHILADELPHIA, be invited to address tke meeting, which was adopted, and Mr. Davis present her witha boquet of flowers. Mrs. L. B. Chandler was in- troduced and said that she was the representa- Uve of the Citizens’ Suffrage Association of Philadelphia, the object of which was the pro- curement of the right of suffrage to women and securing it to men, She read a circular in favor of unqualified suffrage, and having been in- formed by a gentleman connected with the as- sociation that he did not know of a greenback inan who objected to woman suffrage therefore she need make no argument. She ui that men who had imbibed from their mother’s the principles of liberty should no longer be unjust to thelr mothers, and she urged that they should consider the plank recommended by the associa- tion which she represented. THE MASSACHUSETTS NATIONAL PARTY. Mr. Hull, of Boston, read a letter from the Reading, Mass., national party enunciating their a area that all currency shall be made a full legal tender; opposing any candidate not in accord with that principle; re- questing that there be no trading with the old political parties, &c. PETER COOPER. Dr. Robinson, of New York, read a letter trom Peter Cooper, of New York, on the currency and oter questions. In the letter he sug- gests the name of Senator Thurman for Presi- dent (which was received with hisses) and the names of Ben Butler or Weaver, of Iowa, for second place, (whidh names were received with applause.) THE COMMITTEE OF ARRANGEMENTS reported rules and the following list of officers: Hon. T. H. Murch, of Me., president. W. W. Wil- shire, of Dennis Kearney, of Cal., vice 'T. Hartwell, Miss., Selden Fish, . Mills, N, Y., T. P. Rynders, of Pa., secretaries; and R. W. Wade, of D. C., sergeant: at-arms. ‘They recommended also tlat a com- mittee of thirteen be appointed as the execu- ve committee, to report the basis of represent- atioh in, and a time and place for holding the national convention. ‘There was some objection to one of the rules providing that noone shall speak more than twice or more than five minutes on the same jnestion, and considerable discussion ensued ereon. Tn this discussion Mr, Baird, of Illinois, opposed any. gagging as to time, and said, if this was to be done he and others would withdraw. Some one making the remark ‘put him out,” he an- swered it by saying: “It will take a regiment of men like you to put me out.” ‘The report was amended by Insistingten minutes. A motion was made that the number of vice-presidents be 5 |. atives February 6, 1862. | the city. W.C. bones, while those of fish, birds and mamals were quite abundant. Charcoal and remains of charred wood were also found frequently. His theory as to the absence of human bones was, that the aboriginies being of migratory habits, remaining about the bays and rivers in the sum- mer, and returning to the forests of the interior country in the winter season, carried their dead to distant parts for sepulture. Discussion followed by Dr. Toner, Dr. Carpen- ter, Prof. Wilson, Prof. Mason and others. ‘THE OLD TIME FISHERIES. In his remarks Prof. Mason alluded to the re- poe of immense quantities of shad and herring formerly caught in the Potomac and other rivers of the Chesapeake bay. Reports in thenews- papers of the past tell of the immense hauls of these fish, and state that for many years in the early history of the settlement it was with great difficulty that fishermen could draw their net ashore for the number and weight of fish, It was fair to presume that the old tribes that once inhabited these regions fed upon these fish as well as on the shell fish. INDIAN IMPLEMENTS OF STONE. * Dr. Reynolds called the attention of the so- ciety to some specimens of a class of stone im- plements frequently found in this lon of country—s} ens of which he exhibited, found in the neighborhood of this city and within the District. They are hand instru- ments and were evidently used as choppers for meat and other food in preparing it. Prof. Wilson suggested the propriety and eed of getting up an exploring tour next summer by the society to examine the shell deposits, Indian cemeteries and other ancient relics on the banks of the rivers emptying into the Chesapeake bay. He made a motion look- ing to this end, which after some discussion, was referred to the council. LETTERS FROMTHE PEOPLE. The 3.65 Idea. Editor Star:—In your editorial of Tuesday you say that Judge Kelley is not entitled to cre- dit for the {dea of a government loan with in- terest at the rate of seven and three-tenths per cent. per annum, and that it belongs to the late Secretary Chase. It will be seen by reference to the report of the comptroller of the currency, p. 6 of 1875, that the idea of the issue of such notes as were prope’ by the act of July 17, 1361, originated in the year 1812, when notes were issued bearing interest at the rateof five and two-fifths per cent. a year, upon which interest was to be com- puted at the rate of “one cent and one-half a cent per day” on every one hundred dollars of principal, each month being reckoned as thirty days. Furthermore, a similar idea was con- tained in a substitute proposed for the legal- tender act which passed the House of ae er Defects in tele roposes New Tax We Editor Stav:—Piease allow a little space in your paper to one who has an interest in the shape legislation for this District is taking. In the propoeed new tax bill for the District of Co- lumbia, I fear the two objectionable features in the old one may be found, whicb are—the al- lowing of credits on personal tax lists and none on the real, and the method of assessing new improvements. Under the proposed bill, if a person has tn his Possession one thousand dollars worth of per- sonal property and owes clsng hundred dollars on it he will be exempt fron? the ent of any personal tax, while if he has a house and assessed lot at one thousand doilars and has a deed of trust upon it amounting to eight hundred = dollars he will have to pay taxes upon the full amount assessed against him, without deduction. If the money on this property was borrowed from aresident of the District, said resident should eo a personal tax on the amount loaned—the District in such case receiving double tax. The rule under the present law is to assess all new houses having roofs on them on July Ist of each year. Let us see how this works: I own a lot and am anxious to have a house of my own on it as soon as possible. On the ist day of July I succeed in pecie the roof on a new house. and afterward by a reverse of fortune am unable to complete and move into my new home before the next April, and have to pay taxes for ten months on an untenable house—that ts, a house the whole of which was not there during the whole of the period for which it was taxed. My neighbor builds a house and ‘leaves the roof unfinished on the first day of July, but by the following September he has it completed and occupied, but is assessed only from thedollowing July first; thus giving him ten months without taxation. The remedy in this case should bea provision that the new house should be assessed from the time of its completion, and the affidavit of the owner, with the certificate of two well-known citizens as to time of completion, should be proper evidence to tile with the assessor, The theory that the burdens of taxation should fall equally and as lightly as possible upon ail citizens, is the correct one; but in the case last cited it does seem to me that it falls with a crushing effect on the very class of per- sons who should be encouraged in their efforts to ‘obtain homes for themselves, and improve The Congressional Directory.

(Hisses and cries of “We come here for business, Every man to his own trade.”) A motion was made that the prayer be dispensed with, and Mr. Murch said he had called on Mr. De LaMartyr at the en ern of some of the delegates, and he would put the motion. It was. lost,.and Mr. De LaMartyy offered a prayer for the blessing of God on the party.
