The main object of their association is expressed in the foilow- ing three paragraphs of their by-laws, numbered re- epeoevely nice, ten and eleven:— bis arsoclation doew not ignore the existence of cigar makers’ unions, but they cannol in any manuer countenance the justice of Atrikes, as, iu the opinion of the association, Shey are injurious to the einpioyed aa well as Wy the employer. is association believes that all questions of equity can be better adjusted by arbitration than by violent uction of elgar mi ere. No member of this association shall empioy the workmen of any manufacturer who fs member of this axsoclaiton iu bie or their manufactory during the existence of any strike in the manufactory of any of the members of the association. ‘The history of the diMeulty between the manu- facturers and their employes, and how the offer made by the former in accordance with the tenth section has been refused, Was suiticieatly detailed already an? need not be repeated. The meeting yesterday, as stated by the chairman upou its opening, was called as the request of the Executive Committee, who proposed to make a report and a@k the action of the assuclation upon it.

Mr. Falk proposed to advertise in Kuropean pa- ers for cigar makers, bat the proposal met with no favor, as ull the members were of the opinion that in this city there are C.gar makers euough to supply the whole trade, and the matter was al- lowed to drop. Another proposition was made appoint & committee tw examine @ machine for making cigars, which it was stated could manufacture, with the aid of two giris, frou Fa 2,000 common ci and from 500 to 600 ine daily; bUt It aiso failed, and an invitation to the individual members to visit the establishment where the machine is in operation and to examine its working was then received, The only other matier of general interest trans- acted was the pasage of a.resvlution to petition Congress #0 to change the law of July 20, 1865, as not to make it compaisory on each wauufacturer to put his name on every box of cigars.

The aystem of public education in wus city re celved yesterday additional proofs of ite vast eu- perlority ta the commencement exercises of Gram- mar School No. 45, in Twenty-fourth street, between Seventh and Eighth avenues; and although ils ater- ling advantages have upon previous occasions beeu unmistakably displayed, there are yet many who by vague comparisons would strive to disparage the universal benefits which it extends. In the female department, especially, it must bear the palm of excellence above all others if a regular course of uselul studies, a lengthened torm of application and a final and satisfactory exami- nation can be classed in the career of @ scholar, ‘The occasion yesterday was rendered unusually interesting, for not only did twenty young ladies obtain their diplomas as the reward of an indus- trious and persevering term, but two valuable medals, the gift of Mr. James Kelly, who by the way has ever philanthropically distinguished Himself in the noble cause of education, were added to the jist ‘of worthy certificates. | Shortly before eleven o'clock a iarge and fashionabie | assemblage, including many friends of the success- | ful students, congregated in the examination hall, | which by the time the exercises commenced pre- vented & gay and indeed most pleasing appearance. The ladies fled ihto the hail in procession, the gradu- ates taking the two front rows of seats, Dr. L. A. Rosenmiller presided, aud the proceedings having been opened with a chant Rev, Mr. Street read a passage from the Scriptures, which was followed by @ very pleasing anthem, Miss Laura Fisher | | then sweetly revdered “Come to Me, Angel of Sleep,” over a hundred voices joming in the chorus, ‘Three excellent pieces of composition were toachingly delivered by Miss J. Protheroe, Mist Fanny Oliver and Miss Annie K. Whitley, the subjects being most appropriate to the occasion, A pleasing duet was neatly executed by Misses Simpson and Jarvis, while several excellent choruses were well performed. At the termination of the first pogtion of the programme Mr. Henry Kiddie presented diplomas to the following young ladies who had successfully completed thetr aca- demical career, viz.:—-Mixses Blanche Millengen, Emma Gregory, Mary Caldwell, Emma Craig, Emma De Lamater, Laura F. Fisher, Lucretia Graham, Hmma Hurst, Julia Hatcniugs, Lizzie Hutchinson, Mary Jarvis, Matilda Morris, Faony Oliver, Jessie Proiheroe, Anna F. Rogers, Agnes A. Reed, Annie ©. Smith, Marian Simpson, Isabel K. Valentine and Annie E, Whitley. Mr. Kiddie then delivered an appropriate address, in which he warmly congratulated the recipients of the diplomas upon the general excelle of their examinations and their exemplary conduct during their entire course, He trusted umat in the great journey of Iife through which they were about to pass the grand principles which they had already tmbived would still cling to them. Having adverted to the great aupe- riority of the educational system in this city, as now happily demonstrated, Mr. Kiddie resamed ‘his seat amid applause. The Valedictory was then read by Miss Lucretia Graham, after which the Rey. Dr. Hail replied in feeling terms. The young ladies, he observed, had avready described theiselves as elves aod fairies, apa he would be the last in the world tw take any hing out of their thoughts, but he believed, that a little prose was nevertheless requisite. He congratulated the grada- ales upon the successful issue of their studies, and concluded @ salutary address by polnung out the right paths to be pursued through: lil ‘rhe presentation of the ‘Kelly medals’ was de- cidedly the feature of the day. Their intrifisic value was considerable, but the honor of winning them appeared to be more highly prized, and the donor of the handsome gilts reccived tue greatest eucomiums for his disinterested liberality. The two medais were awarded ior general excellence of conduct and amiability. ‘The recipients were Miss Emma Gregory and Miss Blanche Miliengen, Mr. Kiddie having re- ed the former to step forward, called upon Mr. ins to address the audience, Mr. HOSEA i.

It further appeared that the coal before delivery had been sold by the suppers to one Merritt, by him sold to one ©. A.

No copyrof the bill of jading wie ndorsed or delivered to the defondanw, nor eng oller evidence of the purchase made, Upon this state of re which are not dispated, there ean be no doubt of the iibellanta? right to re cover their freight of the defendants, This clear law that whoever recetved cargo [rom a ship wader a bill of lading in the absence of cirown- slances showing @ different understanding ia lable to tieship for the freigut. 16 is not absolutely neces. sary that (he bili of lading shoutd be actually endorsed or éven delivered to the bayer to make his the as signee thereof.

As this is the first occasion since the annual inspection that the division pa- raded, every effort will be made by the commandant of the regiments that stand highest in public estima- tion to preserve their reputation for correct inarch- ing and soldierly appearance. If the day turns out fine, therefore, a splendid display may be expected. The Twenty-third (Brooklyn) regiment will parade with the Third bri je, and will en for the tirst time in ita splendid new uniform. The Ninth regiment will algo be differently uniformed. The seventy-tirst regiment will, it ia believed, parade in its tine full dress uniform, It was intended that the marching salute to the Governor would be given at the Unton League Club, but General Orders No, 12, from the First division headquarters, published in the HeRALD on Suaday, revoked the former order, and the arrangement now is that the troops will be reviewed by his Excellency Governor Fenton frota the baloony of the Fifth Avenue Hotel, The division will assembie for parade in (ue following order :—The First brigade of infantry tn West Tweifth street, the Second br.gade of infuntry in West Thirteenth street, the Third brigade of in- fantry In West Fourteenth street, the Fourth brigade of infantry in West Fifteenth street, the First brig- age of cavalry in West Sixteenth street.

M. the command to march will be given. The First brigade will move through Fourteenth street, closely fol- lowed by the other brigades in the order named, ‘The roate of march will be through Fourteenth street, Fourth avenue, Twenty-third street, Madison avenue, Forty-second street and down Fifth avenue to Twenty-third street.

This was accepted, and after the coal was dand their liability for the freigit fixed, ‘© Wo Blanchard their pote for the amount of the freight, with interest added, of all which the libellants Knew nothing.
