(See Webb's Digest.) So the ordinance of repeats and ampililes these pelvileges. ‘The Organic act of the late District Government conferred ample power on the Board of Public Works to frame Duliding regulations, subject to the revision of the legislature.

Tue Tammany Hall convention in New York last night nominated Sheriff Hugh J. Grant for mayor, County Cierk Flack for sueriff, senator Biwarg F. ORellly for county clerk, Alderman George ier for president of ue board of alderiaen; Ferdinand Levy, Dr. Louls 5. ‘and Edward Hanley (or coroners, Tne made and resolutions adopted pledged Tammany % the support of Cleveland and Hill, and con- tained — depunciations of know-Nothingism, Fiblch were interpreved as an attack upon Mayor tt. His Forthcoming Beok—Mre, Surratt and President Johuson—The Oid Sci- entific Club. ‘From advance sheets of “Men and Measures of Half a Century,” the volume by Hon. Hugh McCulloch, ex-Secretary of the Treasury, soon to be be issued by Charles Scribner's Sons, the follow- ing extracts are taken: “In the evening of the 13th Of April, 1865, I had just gone to my sleeping-room when I was started by a knocking at the door, and the cry, “Mr, Seward has been murdered!” Almost at the same instant there was a more vio- lent knocking, and as I opened the door, I met Mr. Walker, the photograpuer of the Treasury Depart- ment, so breathless from running that he could hardly utter the words: “The President has been Shot at the theater.” My lodgings were in one of the Cass ‘now a part of the Arlington Hotel, not more than a stone’s throw the house occupied by Mr. Seward, to which I 1m mediately ran. The outalde door was open, and I Saw no One as I'went up the stairs and through the hall to Mr. Seward’s sleeping-room, except Mra. Seward, who was Just entering ‘another room to attend, as I heard afterwal upon her husband, whose skull had been fractui by a blow from her father-in-law's assallant,whom had met at the head of the stairs and tried to arrest. As I entered Mr. Seward’s room Miss Sew- ard left it, and Iwas fora minute or two alone with her ‘father. He had been raised from the floor, upon which he had thrown himself in his efforts to escape the murderous blows that had ‘been aimed at him, and he lay on his blood-stained bed with his wounds still bleeding. As I took nis ‘hand be opened his eyes and seemed to recognize me, but be immediately closed them again, and became apparently unconscious. His wounds were fissuy, but they did not seein to be fatal. His reathihg was reguiar and his pulse was full and strong. ‘Some ‘days before he had been thrown from his carriage and bis jaw had Deen fractured. To keep the bones ‘in place ‘an elastic wire bandage had been placed upon one side of his face, extending down to the throat, This Dandage prevented at least one of the blows of his powerful assailant from being a death blow. It Was almed at the throat, but the bowle knife, alhough wielded by a strong hand, was dive when it struck the Dandage, and faifed to inflict a deadiy Wound. ‘The life of ‘sr. Seward Was, ho ever, saved by bis urimy nurse, Geo, F. Robinson, Who Was in attendance upon him. AS the assassin entered the room, and, knife in hand, was rushing to the bed upon which his intended vic im was lying, the servant, although greatly inferior in strength, seized hold of hisaria and prevented bim from using is right arm with its ull force, AS soon as Mr. Seward had thrown himself from the Ded to te floor Lhe assassin turned upon Robinson, gave him a staggering biow, dushed through the hail and down the stairs, and in a moment he was on the horse, which he’ had left standing by the sidewalk, and was away.” PRESIDENT JOHNSON AND MRS. SURRATT. After giving an account of the scenes attending President Lincoln’s death and the trial and pun- ishment of the conspirators Mr, McCulloch, re- ferring to Mrs, Surratt’s case, says: “After her execution there Was a general feeling of regret that her punishment had not been commuted from death to imprisonment. ‘The evidence on which she was convicted would not have satisfied an im. Partial jury. Her complicity in the a-sassination Was not clearly proven, and the sternest justice 1a her case Would have been satisfied with a lesser unishinent. ‘The most pitiful object that I ever ueld Was the prostrate form of Miss Surratt (who Was said to be an amiable and accompilshed Young lady) upon the main staircase of the Execu- Uiue Mansion in the morning of the day of her mother’s execution. She had come to plead for her mother’s life, and having failed to obtain a mission to the President she ha fainted in descend- Jng the stairs. ‘There was, Iam sure, no tounda- Uon for the report, which many belleved, that Mr. Stanton’s life Was’ shorteuea by remorse for bis agency ln the prosecution and execution of Mrs. Surratt, but I know that President Jounson deeply regretiéd that he did not favorably consider the peuitions tuat were made for acommutation of her punishment, and that he especially regretted that heordered the writ of habeas corpus, issued by Judge Wiley, on the morning of her execution, to beuisregarded. ‘Tue facts tuat the urial Was be- fore a willitary commission, months after the war Was ended; that the male ‘criminals were mana- cied during the trial; that from those (with the exception of Mrs, Surratt) upon whoin sentence of death was pronounced the shackles Were not re- moved when tuey were executed, indicated how Justice could be strained and humanity deadened when public vengeance Was thoroughly aroused.” ‘THE WASHINGTON SCIENTIFIC CLUB, When Mr. McCulloch came to Washington tn 1863, as Controller of the Currency, he happened to take lodgings at the house of Dr. F. A. P. Bar- hard, now president of Columbia College, New York, then a clerk 1n the Coast Survey OMlce. “My acquaintance witu Dr. Barnard,” he writes, “was a great advantage to me. It ‘was pleasant and prontable in tiselt, and it openea the way for my wroducuion to men of @ different and, in many respects, higher stamp than I had known betore. He said'to me one Saturday that the Scientific Club Would meet in tne evening at the house of One of its members, and that he Woula be glud if 1 Would join uiu in attending it, whicu I did. There Were present ten or tweive genuemen, some of whom I knew by reputation, but vo all of whom I Was peraunally a stranger. I was greatly Inver ested by the manner in Walch the subject under Giscussiow Was handied—so interested Uat I ac. cepted a second invitation, and beiore the next meeting I received, to my stirprise, a nove from the secretary Informing me that I had been elected a metber of the club. I was surprised, because I understood that the membership was ‘confined to ersonsof sclenutic attainments. Happening, a few days after, to meet Prof. Henry, to wiom I had been Introduced at the club, I $.id to him that Thad no knowledge of the sciences, and that I feared unat I had been elected by mistake. “Not $0,” he replied. “Finance Is a subject in which the country 1s’ Just now deeply interested, and the club Wants a member Who knows something about 4” diy admission to Unis club was of very great Service to me, inteliectually and socially.” The most delightrul hours which I spent in Wasbing- Yon were spent at its meetings It was a club without being a corporation, Tt had neither a ‘constitution nor by-laws, aud no officer but a sec- retary. It met every Saturaay evening (except during the summer) at the house of some of its members, The subjects discussed were chiely Scientific, «na usually such a8 the public was ine terested in at tue ume. The discussions were al- Ways able, and Wien, as Was oiten the case, the Views of tue members were not in accord, they were warm and keen, No one spoke who had hot something Lo say, and he fared Dadiy Who ad- Vanced theories he was unable to maintain, ‘The meetings closed with a supper, the appetites tor Which had been suarpened by’ meatai exercises. ‘The members at tue Lime were Jos.
