rected to notify the citizens of the ward, through
the papers, of the formation Of the association;

dents Of the ward should be admitted into the

The Chair said it had better be understood
how this money was to be appropriated,
whether in buying substitutes for those drafted,
or distributed pro rata amongst them, according
to the plan adopted in Georgetown ana at the
City Hall meeting
Mr. Semmes moved that the money be di-
vided pro rata amongst those drafted and held
to service. The motion was carried, but sub

drafted and held it might be expedent to buy
substitutes for those drafted ard divide the
surplus should there be any amongst the sub
scribers.
The motion to reconsider was carried, and,
on motion OF MIR. George White, 1t was voted
to leave the matter with the committee; the
understanding being in accordance with the
suggestion Of Mr. Semmes, that in case the
committee should find itmore advantageous to
the subscribers to pay for substitutes for those

cited.
Harriet Brooks, (colored,) who lives in the
same house with Susan Rollins, testified to the
fact of the pretended marriage, and that Ma
