The New York Industrial Congress.
HIGHLY INTERFERING PROCEEDINGS OF THE IN
DUsTnALs.
A meeting of this association was duly sd7ert. sed
for Tuesday evening, accomla niad by an announce
ment that important business would be offered :or
consideration, ard pressing invitation was g.7sn
TO delegates 70 attend. Our reporter was present at
the Supreme Court, New City Hsll-whioh is the
place whore the congress held its neetingsat half
past seven o'clock. He feund the door Shut and
that person had attended. Alta lew minutes past
eight, two or three gentlemen came, but none Of
them seemed to possess the open 'essame' power
% getting in. They were soon joined by few
others, and, at quarter to nino o'clock, sixteen
persona were in attendance. Mr.. Kirgs,ey, Secre-
sary, pro tenn, and Mr.. Henderson, Corresponding
Secretary, were present. Daniel Wills.ts sat Ia
upper step, aud john l.. Kingsley and William
John Youns acted as secretaries.
The entire party cat down upon the steps OF the
stocp, and had certainly IN excellent opportunity Of
debating any subject cody. No regular meeting
was organiIcd; hut two Or three subjects, vital 10
the Character and management OF tho congress,
we've tnatod in q conversational sort OF debate.
The first was relative TO the famous correspond
encc OF John g. Woodruff and Alexander Smith
No. 2, Which appeared il tho HERALD, Of Monday
last Many members were OF opinioD that the world
and there IS TO doub. that, if the books had been
there, and any light to be hal, an indignant de-
nial to smiths assertion would b1ye been Snte:ei
One gentleman said he thought the afar was o
new ism, AID Nthat the votes OF the working
would be .old at the election, as be hal heard
Of me mbers Of this congrs s getting mach one
hundred dollars from leading parties already.
A member said this was not a tact no mau's vote
would DC sold; he had attended at tho Houee,
when Mr.. Seward and many of his party wore there,
and after these gentlemen had embossed and ac-
ceptod the principle Of progressive Industrial legis-
letion, he had asked, and received, one hundred
dollars to carry on The cause. lie liu not sell any
mans vote, but wanted the money FOR adyertisins,
printing tickets, ard 50 forth.
Other neInosrs were OF opinion that the nomina-
ton Of candidates by antons was bad and COR
rupt; that the workirgnen should have their mass
meeting, nominate their candidates, distribute
tlo tickets, and do the work themselves.
Others preferred the present system.
Sir. Kipgsley said he paid for the advertisement
CALM mis- citing, which appeared in the HERALD,
hmsolfas he thought that gratuitous editorial no.
tees In the papers were not official, and did not on
swer the purposes and he wanted to know when they
would next meet, md also, if the present company
woIld subscribe 10 much as would pay for the next
advertisement.
Several members thought that they might not
meet until Tuesday, 18th September, and in The
meantime, they could make the day known to each
Other, and not incur any outlay. II Was finally
ranged to meet on Tuesday, 7th inst, aud use the
pcripatetic mode Of advertising until that time.
Inc gues1on OF an adJou- 1ment 10 french 9 Tor q
drink we'll received ut frst, but ultimately fell
TO the ground. an en- D,asSe matter, each member
being left to drink and pay for the same on his OVID
hook. The meeting taen descended from tho stops
at 4 quarter pDst nine ut night
AS no minutes werc entered up, nor any roll read,
we cannot give the names Of the speakers.
1t was announced in some or the papers that the
Congress would make the necessary arrangements
to receive md accommodate the delegates, en- first
Wednesday in September (yesterday,) but there
was no meeting, no delegates, no room, or no con-
gress. Indeed, judging from the aspect. Of the
meeting on Tuesday, ii is more than probable that
the congress- will soon be without local habita-
