CONGRATULATIONS TO NJ. G. EMERY Eso.-A
large number of the friends of this gentleman,
Alderman elect from the Fourth Ward, called upon
him at his residence on street last night, to con-
gratulate him upon his election and the success Of
the party generally throughout the city. After
partakng of the host Of " good things" which were
provided for them, they assembled In front of the
house, and about 10 o'clock the crowd was largely
increased by the arrival Of the Washington Native
American Club, a body of about three hundred,
whose v0ciferous and enthusiastic cheers brought
the worthy gentleman to the window, and his ap-
pc rance was the signal for cheers long and loud.
Alter bowling his Acknowledgements for the favors
shown to him. Mr.. Emery gave welcome to them,
and called upon F. s. Evans, Esq, who was pres
ent, to speak to the assembled multitude
Mr.. Evans, although fatigued, responded to the
call and made characteristic address, which call
ed forth most deafening and highly Hattering APP
plause. After speaking about fifteen minutes, dur
ing which he was frequently interrupted he closed,
and was followed by our worthy Mayor, who was
vehemently called for.
Mr.. Towers appeared and congratulated the
party In their recent success accomplished in a
quiet and peaceful manner. He, however, be-
longed to the working rather than the speaking
portion Of the party, and must be excused from
making speech.
Dr. Il. +. Hunt, City Surveyor and s. E. Doug
las, Register elect also addressed the people in
brief manner, after which they crowd dispersed
quietly to their homes. The greatest enthusiasm
prevailed, and the distinguished gentlemanto whom
the compliments were paid, cannot but feel highly
fattercd, although we consider him deservedly
worthy Of even more,
CHEsAPKAKx AND ONO CANAL CoxPANY.-This
company had their annual meeting at their Office
in the City Hall Monday. Reporters of papers in
this city were wholly excluded from obtaining any
information as to what was done, to see the re-
port prepared by the directors of the company
They stated that report Of their doings would be
made out, especially for the Baltimore Sun, but
that the directors report would be in the hands of
the printer soon, and that they would give no in
formation until it was published We are there
fore indebted to the Sun for the following brief re-
port of their transactions, which was crowded out
yesterday:
The meeting Of the stockholders of the Chesa
peake and Ohio Canal Company took place here
to-day, at the Office Of the company, In the City
Hail. for the purpose of electing president and
directors of that work The State of Maryland
which is the largest stakeholder, was represented
BY her four commissioners of public works. all of
whom were present. Two full tickets were rcgu-
larry nominated; the following by Messrs. Stewart
and Chamberlain, of that board, viz:
For Prcsdent--Samucl Hambleton, of Talbot
county, Md.
For Directors--Samuel p. Smith, OF Alegany
county; Alex. b. Hanson, Of Frederick county !;
John J. Stone, of Washington county; Richard |.
Bowie, of Montgomery; James A. Magruder, of
the District Of Columbia; George Ii. Smoot, Of
Alexandria.
The following ticket was nominated by Messrs.
Falls and Nelson, the other members Of the board
viz:
For President-willam D. Merrck, Of Charles
county.
Directors George Schley, ofwashington county
William j. Ross, of Frederick county !. Charles
M. Thurston, Of AIlegany county; Coleman yell
lot, Of Baltimore; Thomas y. Bowie, Of Prince
Georges county; William w. Scaton, of Wash
ington.
On taking the vote, the commissioners of public
works being thus equally divided, tie Of course
ensued, the result Of which is that the question
under the law Of Maryland is referred TO the treas
urer Of the State for decision by his casting vote
II may be proper TO remark that the whole matter
of electng these officers Of the Canal Company
falls TO the lot Of your board Of public works by
reason Of the overwhelming stock ownership of the
State of Maryland in the canal. the cities Of the
District which also hold stock, taking but little in
terest In the matter.
Az IRIsHNAH PAYING HIS own FUNERAL Ex-
rKSsEs, &c.--An incident partaking very much Of
the serio-comico order occurred in Alexandria last
week, the ludicrousness of which would seem to
render Il worthy Of being Organized.
The body Of drowned man, In perfectly nude
condition, and over whom inquest had been
held was taken charge Of and decently inferred by
an Irish family under the impression that be was a
relative of the party. Soon after the obsequies,
however, the said relative, who had been Temporal
rly absent made his appearance, to the great graf
iication OF his friends, who had just duly honored
and mourned him as one who had arrived at the
end Of that 'shsrd road TO travel" But scarcely
had he received the congratulations of his friends
