Freedmen'a Aid Society.

The public are reminded that the meeting,
held last Monday evening in the Alderrnen's
Room, to form society in this city, auxiliary
to the National Freedmens Relief Commits
mission, stands adjourned to the Reception
Room in the City Hall this (Monday) evening
at seven O'Clock. Last week a constitution
was adopted and numerously signed by the la
dies and gentlemen comprising the meeting.-
1t is expected that tonight officers will be
elected and the association put in working or
der.
During the week, we learn, that commit
tee raised at the meeting at the Aldermen's
room met large delegation of ladies from the
Sanitary and Christian Commissions, and from
several other Charitable organizations connect
ed with the war, and with the relief of the
freedmen, and received from them most salts
factory assurances Of cooperation, as well as
liberal promises of immediate pecuniary con-
tributions.
1t is understood the officers of the associa-
ton will be in part ladies. 1t is the design of
this Society not to take the place of existing
societies or church action, for the instruction
and civilization of those who were lately in the
darkness of slavery, but to cooperate with
those agencies, and to encourage the formation
Of similar societies, and the prosecution of
such missionary work more extensively
throughout the city and state.
1t is hoped the meeting will be fully attend
ed by ladies and gentlemen.

Washington Correspondence.

< NEW YORK, Nov. 4.
The Posts Washington dispatch says that
the estimates for the next fiscal year will be
about 100000, 900. The expenses at the pres
ent time exceed this rate, but are steadily de-
creasing.
Gen. Swayne, Assistant Commissioner of
Freedmen in Alabama, is here to consult the
President in reference to colored schools in
Mobile, which the white inhabitants incline to
break up.
New YORK, Nov. 5.
The Herald special Washington despatch
says "the circulation Of gold certificates will
begin in this city tomorrow. No more frac-
tional currency will be furnished the northern
market at present. About $1OOO0,O0O in five
cent notes will be sent south to supply the
pressing want.
The findings in the Wifz case are still under
adyisement by the President. The accused
is quite cheerful, though anticipating the death
penalty.
There is much sickness among the troops in
Virginia and along the Mississippi river, and
the troops complain of poor rations. The gen
eral order from the War Department musters
out about one hundred general officers of vol
unteers. 1t will probably not be promulgated
until after the elections. An order has been
issued by Secretary Harlan notifying the lady
clerks OF the Patent Offiee building that their
services Will be discontinued after the Both
inst, as the building is required for other pur-
poses. The portion Of lady clerks writing for
the Department outside is unchanged.
