AMERICAN MEErma the meeting Of the
Combined Councils of the city, held last night at
their hall on Seventh street. the addresses well
as the attendance, were excellent. Hon. b. T.
Paine, of North Carolina delivered the first ad-
dress, which able argument, showing that
the ground on which the Republican and the ad
ministration parties expected TO triumph over the
American organisation, was as foolish Is they were
futile. He was heard with great attension, and
often greeted with enthusiastic applause and three
cheers were given for the Old North Shte, when
hetook his seat
Next came Hon. Jacob Broom, of Pennsylvania,
who commenced by saying that he was astonished
to hear such cheering for North Carolina, when
sho had given the party so much pain, paine
which pun was received with shouts of laughter
He then went into a serio-comic address, which
called forth first laughter and then applause In
quick succession, till the audience made more noise
than he did, and it became necessary that he
should wait till the excitement subsidized, 80 that
he could be heard. The speech was excellent, and
characteristic Of the man.
In speaking of the probability of Fillmores cleo
tion, he said he would guarantee that the Bay
State, the Empire aud keystone States, would
Lscofocos and Abohtonsts. When he closed
three hearty cheers were given for " the Broom
that sweeps so clean"
Judge Ellis was called for loudly, but in few
words declined making speech, it being then late
The meeting then adjourned to the 2lst, when
other distinguished gentlemen are expected to adj
dress the Combined Councils.

WANT TO Know why the police don't attend
to the many haifgrown boys who throng our
streets at night, forming themselves into compa-
mics for the perpetration of mischief They are
continually getting into rows, when the blame is
laid, in many cases, upon innocent persons For
instance, on Sunday night, false alarm of lire was
given, which was followed by free fight, when
the blame was laid upon the Fire Companies, and,
through some unaccountable oversight, got in this
paper, when we know that the Franklin engine was
housed at the time when that Company were said
to De engaged in the fight. But we are glad to
know that the police g are about

i've performers. They meet again next Monday
evening Why don't they build Musical Fund
Hall, and thus have regular place for meeting
Then they will always have good attendance on
their meetings, not only from their members, but
from among the citizens.

child OF Mr.. Leonard Prather, living on street,
was yesterday afternoon severely injured by dog,

one OF the family who was in pursuit, ran near

him and seized him by the thigh, and did not re-
lease its hold until Mr. Hood, near neighbor,
leaped over the fence ard compelled the animal to
desist by thrusting his arm down its throat. DIR.
