ment has not yot arrived, and should bo

clared tho elections held on the second

tionally of tbo law under which said

complications of publio affairs are likely
to roault from any attempt on tho part
of tho30 chieaing to have beou choson
for members of the Legislature and

and other reasons, which it is not neces?
sary to incorporate herein, it is deemed
advisable, and it is so ordered, that
those who have been choson legislators,
or for other offices, should not attempt
to assume tbe positions, unless by-fur?

.question, was listened to with great at?
tention, especially that portion of it
which partook of tbo net tiro of a per?
sonal explanation nud which referred to
tbo surrender of L to at Appomattox.
Mr. Gordon made it because, he said, be
bad been charged with being influenced
by personal prejudice against the Admi?
nistration. Ho said be wasonoof those
who held ft command in tho Confederate
army when it surrendered to Goucral
Grant at Appomattox. Until that time,
ho had never known what grief was.
Tho negotiations occupied four days
and four nights, and during all that
lime, not onu word of exultation es?
caped the lips of tho Federal com?
manders. Iu fact, tiiey evaded all con?
versation relative to the battles in which
tbe Union arms had been successful, and
spoko only of those engagements in
which they bad been defeated. Ho, for
one, appreciated such magnanimity. It
sank deep into bis heart, and ho men?
tioned tho fact to prove that bo was not
personally hostile to President Grant.
Tho House refused to table tho educa?
tion bill, atul then it was postponed till
March uext.
There scorns to be opposition ou tho

Yesterday, tho Park Commissioners
having control of Touipkius Square
withdrew their permit, previously

ed the Police Commissioners to prevent

large number of unemployed, mainly
congregated iu tquads from ten to 100
each, gathered iu the square, appa
' rently waiting the arrival of other bands
[and their leaders, that tho meeting
might be organized. Police Commis?
sioner Duryea was io the locality nud
went to the 17th precinct station, from
wheuco soon issued twenty-two police?
men, under erne maud of Captain Wal
lacu and Sergeant Bertbold. They
marched quickly to Tompkins Square
and divided into two parts. Sergeant
Berthold moved on un ugly-looking
crowd, having a banuer inscribed "10th
Ward Associutioa." Ho advised them
to retire iu peare, and not give occasion
for a disturbance. He was answered by
a tall fellow, of military aspect, who ap?
peared to bo the leader, calling upon the
association to stund firm, and they did.
The officer by this time came iu front
of the leader, who refused to move back,
and tbe two engaged in u straggle.
Sergeant B. stepped quickly to assist
tbe officer, but was met by a little hun?
gry-looking person, named Meyer, who
struck him ou tho templo with a heavy
carpenter's hammer and blood flowed
freely from tbe wound. Meyer was at
onoe knocked senseless, and a general
and serious clubbing begun, out of
whioh tho officers came victorious, bear?
ing with them, u number uf prisoners.
Wheu Meyer was asked at the station,
by Sergeant Borthold, why he struck
him, be answered, becauso Hollycher,
their leader, told him to strike any po?
liceman that interfered with them; be?
eiden, said the prisoner, I urn two days
without food, und am desperate. At
tbe chief precinct, u large number uf
police wero held iu rendiucss. A man
in the crowd had u Commuuist flag, but
he did not get lime to unfurl it. Mayor
Havemeyer was at polico headquarters
up to noon, when be came down to bis
office, and said ho would not address
the working men. First avenue conti?
nued crowded up to 1 o'clock, and tho
working men from time to time paraded
two deep along the side-wulk, but did
not venture into tho square. The ad?
joining streets and avenues were crowd?
ed with people, who feared to venture
into First avcuue. Although tho ave?
nue is so full of people, there is no
shouting, and tho polico say the lesson
tbe rioters got this morniug will have a
wholesome effect.
