THE GOOD WORK cOMMENcED. ..4
Mr. James NJ Brown took occasion to state that the
project for the amelioration OF the poor OF New
York was not altogether confined to speech making.
as some philanthropic ladies had already made
arrangements for leasing thirteen tenement
houses. which were to be at improved for
occupancy for families. He also said that the sum
OF $4,000 had already been offered to city clergy
man as portion of fund of S1.O00.000, with which
1t is intended to lease block of ground on which to
erect and desirable class of tenement houses.
A resolution was adopted requesting the chairman
to appoint committee of nine for the purpose Of
devising measures to carry tenement house reform
into effect, such committee to have power to add
to its number. The following gentlemen
were named the committee: :-Messrs.

Perhaps not more than twelve hundred people sat
there when the Mayor opened the meeting; but there
was an air of earnesness and thoughtfulness that
portended more to the confusion of the unscru-
puous landlord Of the tenement house than the
noisiest and most uproarous gathering. The ladies
were there also. and bent deep attention to the re-
marks of the speakers. Rarely has meeting been
held in this hall in which all the elements of serious
thought, profound suggestions and earnest appeal
were so aptly combined. Ciergymen whose names

The necessary processes for the arrest and arragn-

morrow. Judge Bergman Green Circuit Judge. left
here last night for Richmond. to lay the action of
Judge Rves and his Grand Jury before the Governor
and Attorney General. and consult with them as to
what course to pursue in the premises. 1t is not
known definitely what will be the course of the
indicted Judges but il is believed they will dsre-
gard the process of Judge Rives when his marshal
attempts to it, and thereby force Rives
to take pereinptory action, when the protection OF
the state authority will be claimed. From what
be learned from Richmond IL is believed the protec-
tion of the State the fullest extent be
upon. II Judge Rives should mprison the judges.
they will be taken from his custody by a writ of
