There was large meeting of colored peo-
pie in Washington last week to take measures
to commemorate the presidents proclamation.
The building in which they met was twice as
sailed by white ruffians but the blacks bore
the insult with patience-resolved, however,
if occasion required to. defend themselves
manfully and give blow for blow.
The curiosity hunters, and silly people in
Gotham, are just now excited over a haunted
house, which nightly calls together motley
crowd of them, awaiting the expected appear
ance of his ghostshp. The only apparation
that has really been seen appeared to some
mischievous boys who threw stones at the
windows-wearing blue coat with brass but
tons, and glazed cap-remarkably like po-
liceman's.
Mr.. Bonner, member of the Missouri SEN
ate, desiring TO express his adherence of
northern secessionists, who whisper words of
treason in the ears of loyal men, gave the fol-
lowing heated illustration :-''Sir, could
have my way would bind the rebels in arms
and rebels in civil life, who give aid and COM
fort to them, hand and foot, and on wings Of
fire would speed them down to their native
hell, and let them abide with their father, the
prince of traitors"
One of the gambling dens in Cleveland,
where paymaster Cook was robbed of large
sums OF public money, was recently broken
up, and found to contain an ingenious signal
machine, by which concealed person could
see the cards of the victim and telegraph the
result to the gambler sitting opposite. Thus
stranger who ventured into those rooms ex-
pectlng ialr play, was at sure to be plundered
as II he were found on the highway and robbed
with pistol at his throat.

the militia to prevent a repetition A resolu-
ton will also be passed in the senate before
the assembly meets again, requesting the gov
ernor to call out sufficient militia to prevent
the mob from overawing the members of the
assembly in the discharge of their duties. 1t
is understood that the governor bitterly con-
dennis the course of some of the members of
his party, and will respond to the request Of
the senate. 1t is somewhat significant that
out of the four members making revolutiona-
ry, inflammatory and blood-letting speeches,
three were from the city Of New York, and
they members of rammany Hall. Is not this
the legitimate and logical. result of the teach
ings of the old Coal hole, the fountain of the
corruption at the City Hall?7

MOVEMENTS AT WAsHINGToN.-A portion
of the republican members of the house of
representatives held secret caucus, Satur-
day evening; the business of which it is sur
missed related to the shaping of congressional
business for the rest of the session, and pub
lie rumor says also TO changes in the cabinet,
as to whichthe opinion of members was di-
'ided. The New York Times correspondent
has the following
"a committee consisting of mayor Opdyke,
and other politically and financially influential
New Workers, is said to have waited on the
president Saturday, to urge upon him certain
cabinet changes as essential to the salvation
of the country. The interview is said to have
been unpleasant, the president distinctly avow-
ing his belief that the government was better
informed as to the necessities of the country
than outsiders could be: no matter how able
or intelligent This affair is mixed up with
select republican caucus of members of the
house, having in view the same objects, in
which everybody is also said to be pledged to
secrecy which we have made no effort to
penetrate. 1t adjourned to Tuesday,"

ARKANSAS Posr.-This strong position on
the Arkansas river, which has fallen into the
hands of the federal force, is on the highway
to Little Rock, the capital of the state. 1t is
on one of the sharp bends of the river, where
the guns of the fort could easily have swept
from the waters any vessel that might attempt
to pass up the stream. While the rebels held
the position it would have been an impossible
ty for our troops to have reached the capital
from the Mississippi river. Indeed the enc
my showed their appreciation of its impor-
lance by placing it under so large guard as
seven thousand men-all of whom have fallen
into our hands. Gen. Hindman's army is now
supposed to be between Gen. McClernand
and Gems. Blunt and Heron, and its destruc-
ton or capture is confidently anticipated

The speakership at Albany.

The election of a speaker of the New York
Saturday, by the riotous and revolutionary
proceedings of the democrats. The repubr-
cans, having persistently supported their can
didate through nearly eighty ballots, finally
resolved to vote for democrat in order to
get the house organized. They selected Mr..
Callicott, democratic member from the city
of Brooklyn. When this was announced, the
democrats broke out in terrible uproar, it be-
ing their policy to keep the house unorganized
for the present. They Immediately put in
use all the tactics of anarchy. They made
fierce and revolutionary speeches, and one of
them, Mr.. Fields, began a speech which he
said should be five hours long. The hall was
soon filled with roughs and bullies from New
York, Albany, Troy, and elsewhere, and the
noise, threats, and violence of these Sound
rels, presented noteworthy illustration of
the Fernando Wood stvle of politics. The
house adjourned to Wednesday of this week,
when, it is hoped, Mr.. Callicott will he elect

''There is no longer chance for the oues-

The STEAM FIRE ENGINE.-The question
of new steam fire engine, which the city has
authorized the board OF engineers to purchase,
is attracting considerable interest. The agent
of the Amoskeag company of Manchester, N.
H., having recently made machine for the
city of Hartford, stopped here with it yester-
day, for the purpose of giving our engineers
chance to examine it and to test its capacI-
ty. The exhibition yesterday afternoon at
tracted good deal of interest, and of course
a comparisono of the merits of the new machine
with the steamer now owned by the city,
which vas also on trial. The new Manches-
ter machine is very handsome one, and did
not lack admirers, although naturally the
prejudices were in favor of the ''Gov. Lin
coln,' which was found to require much
less power of steam. The board of engi-
neers will of course give all proper considera-
ton to the question before making purchase.
The Manchester engine went on its way to
Hartford last night.
