At 10 o'clock the Joint Committee met in Mr.. Val
entne's Office, to make arrangements for the cere.
monies on Monday. Major Dyckman, the recipient,
was present.
Ala. MONAGHAN stated that he had consulted With
Major General SANFORD. and found that it would not
do TO invite all the military of the city to be present
AT the presentation to Msjor Dyckmar, as the Park
cord not contain them. It was thought better 10
have the 7th Regiment, which was to parade on
Monday to celebrate the capture Of the City Of
Mexico, TO be present. and form a hollow square 10
front of the City Hall to invite the Officers of all the
Re CINE nts in the city to be present on the City Hal
steps to witness the ceremonies. The Committee,
however, referred all the military arrangements Of
the day to Msjor. General Sanford.
Aid Wilson suggested that O'Clock be the hour
for the presentation, which was agreed to BY AID
Monaghan ard Councilman Baulch.
The Scott Legion would arrive here from Phladel-
phia at 81 o'clock to celebrate the Capture Of Me1No,
and would be escorted TO the Park by the Twelfth
Regiment It was thought that the time of their am
val would be too late for the Snuff Box presentation
but they could be reviewed aferward by the Common
Council.
Ii was further arranged that the New-York Volun-
teers, oi such of them as in favor of the reep
ent be present in citizens dress and badges, within the
square formed by the Seventh Regiment, and that the
hex be prerepted to Major Dyckman by the Mayor Of
in the absence Of the Mayor, BY the acting Mayor.

Superintendent of Police for force of policemen 70
preserve order in the Park on Monday. The Commit
tee then Adjourned.
1t was announced that Mr.. jackson yesterday
would attend St. Peters Catholic Church. under the
Escort of AID. VIM. Wilson of the First Ward.
To day he will participate in the reception Of the Scott
Legion and on Tuesday he will probably visit West
