Riots Good ThiRgs.-Another meeting OF the
Cheap Fuel Association was held last evening
at the Union League Rooms-the object Of
which was to take final action upon the consti-
tuition reported by the committee on Monday
evening last Samuel Pearson, Esq, filled the
chair.
The chairman of the committee introduced
the reading of the proposed constitution by
saying that it was the same as that voted upon
by sections at their last meeting, and that no
alterations mad been made In 1t save in phrase
ology.
Alter the reading OF the constitution, the
Chair stated that 1t was before the meeting as q
whole, but that its sections admitted Of amend
ment, which would be entertained il motion
to reconsider prevailed.
Mr.. Brown asked If It would be in order to
offer a substitute for the proposed constitution.
The Chair decided affirmatively.
Mr. Eastman arose to introduce the substi-
tute, when Mr.. Lathrop called attention to the
fact that Mr.. Eastman was member OF the
committee who had prepared and presented
the original report, and he thought it a queer
movement that be should offer q 81 bstitute He
began to think they were getting to sea, and
thought it out of order for q member Of the
The Chair said that it might be presente
with propriety as minority report.
Mr.. Eastman here arose and began reply to
MIR. Lathrop, when he was interrupted by
suggestion from Mr.. Scott that he read his pro-
posed substitute first and talk after ard, which
he consented to do.
The minority report having been read-the
main feature of difference between which and
that originally reported was the substitution OF
the subscription for the joint stock system-a
motion was made tkat it be adopted. The
question was called and the motion lost, only
one voting in its favor.
Before the taking Of the vote, Mr.. Eastman
said he was originally in favor OF the stock
plan, if ii could be honestly carried out; but he
had compared it with what he now submitted,
and thought the substitute to be the simplest.
He thought il right that the meeting should
know what it was about and not act in the
dark. He was willing to compare both and
choose the best
Mr. I.athrop said he was Eot originally in
favor of the stock feature, but was really in
favor of the plan submitted as the minority re-
port. 1t w as, indeed, his own plan as proposed
to the committee, and he hoped the first report
would be rejected and the report Of the minor
ity accepted.
Mr. Eastman made ex planatory remarks with
reference to the action OF the committee, and
pronounced his substitute as different from that

broad platform, and the fire kept up all the
time. The very fact that business men are
trying to get into the association is evidence

Capital of the greatest nation on earth made
such that we need not be ashamed of it. You
have got the thing to work until the great mass
of Northern people have more than one
thoroughfaIe to come to Washington You
have got to make this Capital a place where
people can live, or move the Capital TO where
they can. The flour riot in New York was a
blessing, 1t robbed the Shylocks and served
them right. Mr.. S. was particularly severe on
the markets, and closed his remarks by declar-
Ing himself in favor of the original report, and
hoped 1t would be adopted
Mr.. Casey followed. He was in favor OF the
first constitution, and for the reason that he
was in favor OF giving the Shylocks OF the city
no quarter. An entire radical reform is neces-
- gary in the mercantile structure OF this city.
Specializing would continue until you had re-
formed society and business in this city. A
great city like this cannot be kept up when 1t
has to be taxed by goods designed for it passing

Immediately after the vote on the substitute
was declared by the Chair, motion was made
to adopt the constitution originally reported
question called, vote taken, and the motion
was carried, with only one vote against IL.
Mr.. Lathrop here said that the constitu-
ton just adopted demanded that Immediately
after its adoption it should be open to sigma.
lures, and that deposits should also be made,
he would give notice that gentlemen might
now come forward with their names and
funds.
At this point it was proposed to elect pro.
yisional treasurer. II. s. Brown, ESQ.,, was
elected.
The books were then declared opened, aid
twenty. four signatures were appended, and
$40 deposited.
