NEW YORK, Dec. Sat meeting of the
Board OF Aldermen, yesterday, petition was
received from the United American Bricklay-
ers Association asking for the passage of an
ordinance authorizing their employment on the
public works. 1t recited that the association
consisted of upward oil 5000 members; that
not more than oue-6fth of their plumber were
working; that they had passed through two
seasons OF dleness; that the present condition
OF business was such that capitalists could not
or would not employ them; that they seek la.
Dor and not charity; that they will not be able
to sustain their families during the present
winter; and that the city must, therefore,
choose between furnishing them with charity
OF labor. The petition closed with the follow
Ing sentence; "We know that by becoming
convcts we can be assured Of labor by the State
or city, and we hope we will not be driven to
that extremity"

Places and Things

Places and Things.
WASHINGTON, Dec. 3.-Thc contest for
SpeakeIshlp of the House is growing "Ias
ana furious, and ways that are dark and
tricks that arc vain" are being rcsorted to by
the friends OF Randall aud Kerr, which are not
likely to cveutuare in HARMONY, though it is
hoped that wise counsels will prevail in the
caucus and nothing be done to damage the
party, merely to crafty personal ambition. 1t
is pretty generally conceded that Randall is,
SO Tar, IN the lead, and the sporting men are
betting on him, but bets never decide con-
test. 1t may turn out that neither will be the
choice, but ID that event neither Cox nor
Wood Will be takea up,the autagouism between
the friends Of these gentlemen being equal to
that existing between the friends of Randall
and Kerr, and some one not now spoken of,
but most probably from the West, will likely
be selected. At a meeting, last night, of
Mcssrs. randall Kerr and Cox. it was dccid-
ed that Mr.. l.. &. {. Lamar, of Alssissippi
should preside Ill the caucus to be held to-
norrc% afternoon. llr. Lamar, it is stated
prefers NJ. Kendall, ~, his impartiaIity aud
high scusc OF nunor mike the S lection agree
able to all.
The Virginia delegation arc nearly all here,
but are retceut as to their choice for Speak
er, though the position of sumo is dc
tnltely known. General Hunton. it is
thought, will support Randall, and Major
Douglass Kerr As to the Clerk, it is
generally understood that majority of the
delegation will support Whitehead, but Adams
of Kentucky, it is thought By shrcwed pollt-
Clans here, will be the successful man.
Maj L.ph Turner, of Rappahannock county,
Va, is candidate for Doorkccpcr, and will
have the SUPPORT Of 1 plumber of the old mem
bers, and while lis election would be most
excellent one, it is not likely he will be one Of
the fortunate
New candidates arc daily appearing, aud the
ImportunlDg has descended from the sublime
TO the ridiculous. Members have now to 90
about 10 squads or have body guards. The
