J. Burton, Secretary. After disposing of the ordinary business of the meeting, the following preamble and resolutions were offered, and fully discussed by John the First Ward, and P. A. Breen, Levi Potter, C.

W. DeWitt and Geo. Hobday, and unanimously adopted "Whereas, we honestly believe that the members of the Eadical Republican Party are either all, fools, knaves or maniacs, seeking to destroy all who are politically opposed to them, as well as themselves, as Samps did when he pulled down the temple; and, 1 i we, speaking lor ourselves, Know that we hold malice to none, but charity for all, and desiring to promote our own welfare, which must prove equally beneficial to our opponents, by measures as will procure to all of us our rights as men, without injustice to any and Whereas, we daily feel from the want of employment and thogeneral stagnation in business the urgent necessity of the speedy action of Congross on measures of relief for the people by the enactment of laws that will give assurance and a guarantee of safety to the capitalist, by tho enactment of such laws as will give assurance of permanence, and a safe basis of calculation and reliance, therefore 1. Resolved, That wo cordially invito all who are politically opposed to us to meet with us in our ward meetings, and fully and freely discuss the issues of the day and the necessities of tho times, believing that such a course would prove beneficial to all concerned and tend to restoro that harmony of feeling and community of interests so desirable to all. 2.

That we earnestly pray the Congross of the United Stites, at the earliest day practicable, to enact such laws as they, in their wisdom, may deem proper, relative to the questions of currency, internal revenue and the tariff, in order that confidence may be restored, and capital seek investment, instead of being horded, thereby developing the dormant resources of tlie country, giving employment to labor, and adding to tho wealth of the nation. On motion, the meeting then adjourned to meet again on Wednesday evening next, at o'clock. Masqued masqued ball at the rooms of the Eintracht last night, the pecuni ary benefits of which are to be appropriated to the improvement of the German school oi this city, was a decided all its particulars. The various rooms of the Eintracht were crowded with merry masquers, and the festivities were prolonged until the small hours of this morning.

The Alexandria bearing of the case of the Alexandria Aqueduct, which has been indicted as a nuisance, is set tor next Monday in the Criminal Court of the District of Columbia, in Washington. It is thought, however, that a further postponement will be effected.

Good direction of the military commission of Lynchburg, the police of that city are required after to day, to enforce the ordinance against loafing oil and blocking up the sidewalks. The order applies to white and black alike.

An order of the same character if executed in this city would furnish the necessary labor to clear the side walks of the ice now rendering them dangerous. Secretary Seward, by directiou of the President, has written to Charles 0'Conor and das. T. Brady, of New York, asking them to go to Europe and appear as counsel for the American citizens under trial for complicity in the Fenian proceedings. No answer yet been received, but if these gentlemen do not accept, the tender will be made to others.

We respectfully solicit the sympathy of the public, in behalf of a certain Veritas; whose affecting words may be seen in yesterday's Gazette.

The tone of his communication reminds us of one, who after paying three dollars to be disappointed, is then desirous of disowning the fact, in a style by no means acceptable to the public ear.
