ORDINANCE APPRoPRIATING SIX HUNDRED
DOLLARS TO PUBLIC CHARTIEs.-At the
meeting of the City Council last evening,
all ordinance appropriating three hundred
dollars for the benefit ofthe Orphans Home,
came up, on motion of Mr.. Donaldson, for
its third reading and final passage. Mr..
Wilson offered an amendment appropriate
ing the like sum (three hundred dollars)
for the benefit of the Hospital Of the Sisters
of st. Francis, located on Rich street. The
amendment was a99eed to, and the ordi-
nance as amended was passed by a unani-
nous vote.
Both these appropriations are well timed,
for both institutions are worthy of all the
encouragement that can be afforded them.
The object of the Orphans Home is gene
rally well known to our citizens. But the
Hospital Of the Sisters of st. Francis is COM
paratively new. 1t is devoted to the care
and relief of the destitute sick and suffer-
ing. As such it merits the fostering hand
of benevolence, and it was a happy,thought
that suggested to Mr.. Wilson the amend
ment appending to the appropriation for the
Orphans Home the like appropriation fol
the Hospital instituted by the self-denyine
and kind-hearted Sisters of st. Francis
The ready concurrence of the members in
the amendment reflects credit on our City
Council.

| etc.
New YORK, Dec. 21.-A special to the
Times from Washington Goth, says: The
following Senators and members compose
the committee appointed by the Democratic
caucus to confer with the National Demo-
cratic committee to fix the time and place
for holding the National Convention: j. C.
Allen, Illinois; Fernando Wood, New York,
G. b. Steel, New Jersey; w. III. Miller,
Pennsylvania; ID. Marcy, New Hampshire;
Garrett Davis, Kentucky; Senator Hen
dricks, Indiana.
The following were appointed to arrange
the order of business for the Democratic
members who are to report to the caucus on
Monday next: Dawson, Pennsylvania +;
Brooks, New York; Pendleton, Ohio; NAL
lory. kentucky, and Robson, Illinois.
Since the Senate committee indicated its
purpose to repeal the three hundred dollars
exemption clause enlistments have substan-
tally ceased all over the country. Govern
ors of many States in letters to leading SEN
ators has protested against the repeal as
sure to run up the price of substitutes to at
least $1,000. The probabilities to-day are
that the exemption will be increased by the
Senate committee to $500.
| The Government will dispatch messen-
ger to Halifax to-morrow-wit instructions
to our Consul there. The action of the
British authorities in protecting the pirates
of the Chesapeake has caused much conf
ment in Diplomatic circles.
