cussng any one question
PRINTERS MEETIEG.-The Journeymen Print
ers of this City hold 4 meeting at Tammany Hall
at o'clock this morning for the purpose Of adopt
ing such measures az may be deemed advisable
10 give efficiency and strength to the effort now
making TO advance the Gcae of prices to just
and uniform rate. The new scale was generally
adopted yesterday; but few Of the employers
refuse to concede to the just demands made by
the journeymen. To peaceably sustain those
who are on strike from these offices is the object
of the meeting this morning, and we hope it will
be fully attended.
| INDIGSANT.-The junior members Of the B ar
appear to be getting their dander up respect
ing the treatment they receive from some of the
occupants of the bench. They complain loud and
deep of rude and uncourteous treatment To
make an effort to effect a reform in this particu.
lar, small portion Of the afflicted ones met at
the Broadway House on Saturday evening last
and organized by the appointment of Chairman
and Secretary, and Committee to draft series
of resolutions to be presented to an adjourned
meeting to be held at the same place the coming
Saturday evening, to which time the meeting ad'
iourned. We can point out to these young gen.
temen a much better way Of resenting the indig-
mites they complain of, tran they will be likely
to adopt-that is, to cut the Judges and the pro-
fessiOn at the same time. Drop Blackstone and
go to building stone roads, or turn to some other
useful and respectable calling and they will not
only rid themselves Of the rudeness and incivility
of those dressed in ermined authority, but they
will stand more then an even chance of being re-
spected and honored in the world.
CBIEF OF POLIcE.-We understand that Mayor
Kingsland has resolved to re appoint GEORGE w.
MATsE1L, ESQ. to the office of Chief of Police.
Mr. MS long experience and general popularity
as Chief of Police peculiarly qualify him for that
Office. In everything relating to his duty he has
been prompt and highly efficient His retention
by the Mayor will, no doubt be the means Of rem
dering the department what it should be.
EP Mr. JAMEss first lecture takes place to-
night at the Stuyvesant Institute, at o'clock
The subject is the Legitimacy and Significance
of the Institution of Private Property
THE Russ PAvEMEN1-The block in Broadway
between Blocker and Amity sts is to be paved
Guilty of smoothness, now complained of, these
gentlemen will adopt new plan in laying the
block now about to be commenced. Every block
of granite before it is laid down, is to be grooved
on it's surface, the groves to be bat short dis
lance apart and to be cut Of sufficient depth and
breadth to give every opportunity for horses to
gain good foothold If this plan succeeds, and
we confess it looks feasible, this pavement must
supersede ell other in our crowded thoroushfares
NOTED CoNy1cTs Some of the most noted
convicts in the Sing Sing Prison have been sent
from this City, and are engaged as follows BlggS,
convicted of sending threatening letters, is en-
gagged in packing saddlery hardware, and prepar
ing it for market. The Confidence Man is pastiRg
in hat tips, being unfit for active labor, he not
having the use of one arm and hand Ashley
the forger is, we believe, in the cabinet shop
pencilling chairs. Niles, lately sent up, is en-
gagged in molding harness buckles. He quite de-
INJURED to learning any trade telling the officer
who set him at work that he should not stay there
any length Of time for he had no doubt he would
be placed at liberty by the Supreme Court The
officer insisted, however, upon bis making COM
mencement The story Of Niles's having been
caught with mince pie, and being showered
therefor, was made mostly OF whole cloth. The
first night he was in prison he did ask the keeper
to furnish him with mince pie, offering to pay
him literally for so doing. The officer declined,
and Niles was charged not to renew the PROPOSE.
ton. Honora Shepherd, the passer Of counter
felt money, is engaged in sorting, counting and
packing cloth buttons, Of which there are inn
mense numbers manufactured by the female con-
victs. All these are in the enjoyment of good
health, and, with the exception of Ashley, appear
to be quite contented within the prison confines.
~ The CADETS or TEMPERANCE Mount
Vernon secton) had a crowded and spirited An
niversary their second) last evening at Fountain
Hall. Addresses, Singing Dialogues and other
exercises, followed each other in rapid succession,
and were received with zest by the dense assem-
blage. We ought to have such Young Peoples
Temperance Anniversary in one Of our largest
public edifces. II would animate and fortify
thousands in good resolves and good works. Can
not all the Cadets unite ere long in such cele-
| bration
n The German Ladies' Society of Walker
st for the relief of widows and orphans, will
give their Fifth Annual Concert on the 22d inst.
at the Apollo Rooms Several of the most emf
nent musicians of this City have kindly promised
them their aid. Conscious that they will be en-
abled to offer musical enjoyment of no common
kind, the managers do not hesitate to rely on the
charitable sentiment of a music.loving public for
the same generous patronage which wss bestowed
on their former concerts.
