At a meeting of the Workingmen’s Assembly last night, Mr. T. G. Campbell in the chair and John T. Christian secretary, a number of dele- gates from Columbia Typographical Society were admitted. CONDITION OF WORKING WOMEN IN WASHINGTON. Mr: Craney, from the committee on female labor, made a report upon, the condition of the workingwomen in our fashionable dressmakers and milliners’ shops and other places where females are employed, showing the number of hours the shop girls work, the low rates of pay ‘they receive, and the many insults and indigni- ties they are subjected to. He moved that when the pamphlet fs printed, which the Assembly mee ublishing on the condition of labor in ustrict, that the committee be instructed to publish the names of the sho) ee all other employers who degrade female Sage Remarks were made by several members, all commenting severely on the alleged oppression of the workingwomen of this District, and the consideration of the subject was postponed for one week, THE WIRTH MURDER AGAIN. Mr. Tunia submitted a series of resolutions reeiting “that, as the Hirth murder has created such a Sensation between the two races, and a minister of the gospel preached from his pulpit in language as follows: ‘that the colored men implicated in the murder of Mr. Hirth should be id responsible in tenfold, viz: ten thousand for one;’ that this is a little more than we ean stand; that the colored men are willing that the | wees found guiity of the horrible crime, when he courts may find them gullty, be brought to ustic and if in case the courts shall y. and the hey are the proper par- Ues for punishment. then the duty of the better- thinking class of all races should thi ter in hand and help the authoritae tes; for the life of no person i community. and the aim of each citizen should be to secure t just and prope r enforcement of the lawsagainst all transgress Mr. Beron opposed the resolutions as ‘out oft piace in this assembly.

He cited the cases of outrageous murders which had been excused by the courts of this mublic should | He saw no manifestation or | District. Mr. Tunla said he was not in favor of tynch law, but he was in favor of civil law. He | elted the recent case of horrible murder of Jack Cash by Clark on Capitol Hill, whereshe courts had made a moc and farce of justice When the courts re remiss he was in favor of the citizens taking such cases in hand. He believed in this mode, be- cause he thought it was for the good of’ his race, by getting rid of a set of villains who are a disgrace to the law and order-loving portion. As a colored man, he was unwilling to rest under the stigma cast upon him by these rut Hans. Mr. Lavalette sald he did not think the Workingmen’s Assembly has anything to do with such matters. This matter is now before the courts or grand jury, and he belleved the guilty would be punished. Mr. Christian was favor of the resolution. Ie stated that such events would occur, and in our city where po- Hicemen are requiréd to cover such lengthy beats, that it was physkally impossible for them toget over them: It was no wonder that many dark deeds are enacted. Mr. Beron and others thought the language used by the cler- man on the occasion of the funeral of Mr. iru had been misconstrued. He had read the published synopsis of the sermon and could see nothing wrong in it. After further remarks @ motion was adopted to postpone action unlll the next meeting. THE EIGHT HOUR LAW. Mr. McDonald said the eight hour law would in all probability be passed at Unis session otf Congress, and he wanted it understood that the men now taking a prominent part in this bill, and in the cause of workingmen, are not the ones to whom credit is due for the legislation. He also wanted understood that t was no back movement, as it had nothing to do with it, Mr, Craney thought it was not the time now to squabble for honors; let them secure the passage of the bill first.

For a few days past there have been rumors that MF. Seth A. Terry, a notary public and sec- retary of the Territorial Savings Building and Tan Association, had defaulted in the latter office to the amount of several thousand (ee lars. Inqutry into the case by our veals the following facts: At a directors of the association on Friday night last, he made a statement that he had taken about $25,000 of the funds of the association. This association has been in existence some 8 — or more, and its first secretary was Mr. E. ic. B. Timony, who. it is alleged having been Tmeninn in his accounts left here about four years since, and Mr. Terry succeeded him in the office. Mr. Terry came here from Connecticut during the war, and was for many years con- nect with the bureau of and abandoned lands, under General 0. O. Howard. While there, he, with others in- vested what money they could in buying claims of colored soldiers, expecting to realize on them in a few months. Subsequently he was a clerk in the Second National Bank, and it is supposed that while there his first financial em- barrassinents had their origin—he investing all his available funds in what were known as the 20 ae cent, claims of messengers, government ters and others, which claims, like the frst named, have never been allowed. It is stated that the amount of claims (colorea sol- diers’ and 20 per.cent.s) he has in hand repre sents nearly $60,000, and that if they we allowed the association and his other creditors would not lose a cent, Some years since he bought a square of ground fronting on Mass2- chusetts avenue, on Capitol Hill, and erected thereon a fine row of houses, and realized some- thing on them, but sinally he made them over to his creditors, Recently he has been eng: in the erection of a row of dwellings on 16th street, near R, from which he ho to realize enough to have set himself straight, but in the meantime his creditors became " impatient, and the stockholders of the association clamorous for settlement, so that finally he de- termined to make a clean breast of it, which he did, as stated, on Friday night. The association at once took possession of the books and papers in his office, In the Le Droit building, and ap- pointed a committee to examine them. Since that time Mr. Terry has not been at the office. ‘There is considerable conjecture about the city as to how the secretary of the association could default to such an amount without the knowl- edge of the treasurer when the funds are re- pe red to be paid over to the latter every month. ‘his is, however, explained by the fact that the association being a serial one, much of the money was loaned on stock, the certificatesof which went into the- hands of the secretary These could easily be hypothecated, and it said this was the manner in which the defalca- tion occurred. For some time he has been act- ing as notary for the Second National Bank, but for a week or more past has not so acted. Some of Mr. Terry’s intimate friends, notwith- standing these facts, have confidence in his in- tention to act squarely and are loth to believe that he will in the end allow any one to suffer, and some of the officers of the association are hopeful that the entire amount stated Is not lost to them, but it will be some days before it can be ascertained just how his affairs stand. ‘The association was organized in January, S72, with T, L, Tullock president and Dr. ¥. Howard vice president, both of whom have since withdrawn; J. C, Tasker, treasurer (who fills the office now), and E. McB. layse, JOS. Nabe, H. W. Smith, E. a Stet- Brown, J. P. Townsend, and — James, directors. ‘The modus operandi of Teri y is stated to be books, and when ad ces were paid, by reser sould have been’ cancelled, t N tound to correspond with the clation cash book, and the stock left as security for loans he would sell, in some instances outright, to other parties. For some time the directors have not met regularly, and the times being so stringent the association has not received much money, It 1s stated this afternoon that some three or four thousand dollars will be saved, and prob- ably that the defalcation will not exceed $20,- 000, and there are some hopes that there will be even a better showing. It appears that the money has mostly gone to pay assessments in the “claims ring,” and as yet he has not divul- ged who his associates are. that he two cash Amusements, &c. NATIONAL THEATER.—Lotta played “Musette” at the National last evening, supported by an excellent company. The house was filled by the usual delighted audience that always sits in Tront of Lotta.

CRUEL TREATMENT OF A CHILD.—In the Police Court to-day John Williams, a burly negro, was charged with assaulting his niece, Sarah J. rter, a very small colored girl, who showed the marks of the lashes on her arms. Officer Cole testified that this man had the girl up stairs in his house naked and tied with rope, and her arms and back were nearly raw. Wil- Nams here took the stand and testified that tals gat was given to him by her sister, and that ast Saturday she went away and left the house open and no one in it. He acknowledged that he stripped and whipped her with a cowhide. Williams was sent to jail for 60 days and the child returned to its mother. AT THE ANNUAL MEET! of the members of the Mutual Protection Fire Insurance Com- pany” of the District the following gentlemen were re-elected tuustees for the ensuing year: Messrs. George Taylor, Win. Ballantyne, John . Harkness, Win. J. Sibley. John. T-Given, N, W. Burchell, James H. Saville, Charles F. Peck and Wm. S. Thompson. The following amendments to the by-laws of the company were also adopted, viz: Sec. 25. No member of the board of trustees and no officer or employe of the company shall at any time, directly or Indirectly, become a borrower of the funds or securities of the com- pany. See. 29. The funds of the company shall only be invested in United States or District of Co- lumbia securities. ALEXANDRIA Nores.—Wm. T. Beckley, the little son of John Beckley, colored, who, by mistake, drank some concentrated lye last sum- mer, died Sunday from the effects. ‘The funeral of Mrs. B.C. Dentinger, wife of C. Dentinger, of Washington, and Gaughter of J. C, Barrett, of Alexandria, took pl Sunday afternoon from the Baptist Church, and was largely attended. THE ODORLESS EXCAVATING CASE DECIDED AGAINST THE ComPANY.—This morning Ju James, who recently heard the case of Franci Carter (arrested by Lieut, John F. Kelly fora Violation of the law in reference to the removal of night soil), on habeas corpus, rendered his decision. He decides that the ordinances of the ration regulating the removal of night have been repealed, so far as the corpora- tion haye a monopoly, and that the Commis- sioners have no control over the matter, if it is done without creating a nuisance, and he there- fore dischai Mr. Carter. This decision vir- tually opens the doors to any parties who have the proper apparatus to do the work, and tt is not unlikely now that there will be a brisk com- petition between parties for this work.

A national writer said at the time that the misery of Ire- land touched “even the heart of the Turk at the tar Dardanelles, and he sent her in ess vee alms of a beggar.” ‘The United States,” ad dustin McCarthy, “employed some of their ae vessels to send gifts of grain and other food to the starving places. In one Irish seapert the joy_belis of the town were kept rin ing all day in_honor of the arrival of one of in eee fe harem op eed Si nifleant ion of rejoicing, surely.” Again are these people dying of starvation, and from disease suj Brinduced by want. And it is to do something to relieve them that we are called together this evening. Well may the Irishman repeat the exclama- tos of the faithful companion of Achates: Quie regio in terris nostri non plena laboris? vill we not do something this evening that will once more set the bells a ringing in_many an Irish town?
