Board of aldskmin, May 23, lets;.?The board met pursuant to adjournment. The Chair laid before the Board a communication from the Mayor, calling their attention to the necessity for, and suggesting that the act ap proved May 14,1867. entitled " An act to divide the city into election precincts," be amended so as to restore the old dividing line, (7th street,) in tbeSeventh Ward, and more equally divide and clearly define the several precincts in the Second. Third. Fourth and Fifth Wards. The Mayor says:?"With these very neces sary amendments the intention of the City Councils in increasing the voting precincts from two to four in each ward can be very readily executed." Referred to the committee on police, and ordered to be printed with the proceedings. Air. A. Lloyd introduced a bill defining the limits of the Northern market; referred to the committee on markets. Mr. Barr introduced a bill appropriating *400 to grade and p*ve Boundaryetreetfrom 7th street west to Vermont avenue: passed.

Also, reported bill for relief ol Edward L'ourke, remitting fine im posed on him for alleged violation ol law. Passed. Mr, (liven, from the committee on police, to whom was referred the Mayor's message in reference to election precincts, reported un act amendatory of "An act to divide the city into election precincts. ' Mr. Gi\en stated it was necessary to have prompt and definite action on the bill, otherwise the election would go by default. It was a matter on which great dif ference of opinion existed, and the committee felt that it would be impossible to frame a bill to meet ihe views of every gentlemau, but they had done the best it was possible to do under ihe circumstances. The bill was then read as follows : An act to amend an act entitled "An act to divide * be several wards into election pre cincts." Sec. 1. Be it enacted.

That it shall be the duty of the Mayor to obtain irom the judges of election one or more complete copies of the I names i.no residences ol all persons who shall I tiave been dnly registered and have a right to vote in each election precinct, and furnish copies of the same to the commissioners of 1 election to guide them in receiving the votes ot | tne electors. Sec. 3. And br it rnacted. That all acts or I parts ol acts inconsistent with the provisions I of this act be, and the same are hereby, re- I realed. Mr. T. E Lloyd (Mr. (tnlick in the chair) I ottered an amendment ''that each and every I voter shall vote in the election precinct in | which he resides, as established by the C?ty Councils, and no vote shall be received by the commissioners ol election On the d1/ of elec- I Hon unless the voter reside* in ihe election precinct as established by the Corporation ef I Washington under the powers conferred upon I the Corporation by the act of Congress ap- I proved May 16,1856." Mr. Qiven contended that the amendment I would be lata) to the bill and to the election. I The judges of election have not time, if they were so disposed, to make anew registry. The matter has now assumed such a phase that we I must take ? a half loaf or no bread." Mr. T. E. Lloyd spoke ot the action ot the J Hoard, and the position of Mr. Given at the I special meeting ot the Board last week. The Corporation, under the act of Congress of l?5fl, I made two election precincts, and under that J act, which gives them power to make two or more, have the right now to make as many as may be necessary The Hoard agreed to this view, and at the special meeting referred to passed the act dividing each ward into four precincts, which was signed by the Mayor. Now the Judges of Elections refuse to recog- I nize the action of the Councils, and we are to I review our action. Mr. Lloyd proceeded to I discuss the several acta of Congress, to sustain his view that the Corporation has the power I to create as many additional precincts as may be necessary, and to declare that no voter shall vote *uiside ol any precinct so created. < Mr. Qiven, in answer to an inquiry ot Mr. I .Lloyd s, said this bill was to relieve us from a dilemma,aBd thataccording to the bill he now introduced no voter could vote outside of the precinct (created under the law of Congress ot 1S56) in which he resides. The object of the bill is to enable every registered voter to de posit his ballet on election day. j Mr. Lloyd again advocated tbis amendment; J contending that it was not impossible to sepa rate the lists ot the registered voters so as to have them vote in the new precinct* in which they reside We have no guarantee that this new bill will be satisfactory to the judges of election. The law is that every msn shall vote in the precinct in which he resides. ! Mr Noyes said the law read " in the pre cinct or 1 card" in which He resides, and sug gested that Mr Lloyd introduce his amend ment as a separate resolution, so as not to I defeat the necessary legislation proposed, by 1 a side issue which could only serve to defeat all action. i Mr. A. Lloyd asked Mr. T. E Lloyd if the amendment he proposed would prevent the I "conglomeration 'of races he had spoken ot. Mr T. E. Lloyd thougnt it would. Mr. Noyes stated 'hat Mr. Bradley, the Cor poration Attorney, had given his opinion that the plan proposed by the bill reported by the ponce committee this evening was feasible and legal. Mr. Lloyd said the judges could readily make new lists of the registered voters in'the new precincts, and have it ready by election 1 day, if they chose to. Mr. Noyes said that the act of Congress quoted by the gentleman had oeen supplant ed by later legislation. The iaw of Congress only made it the duty of the J udges of Elec tions to register according to wards. They had registered in tiie precincts as they tound tb< m. It was too late for the Corporation, al ter the registry is completed, to go on makine I new precincts and insist upon new polling lists to be made for the new precincts. We have no power to compel the judges of elec- | tion to make such new polling lists for new precincts created on 'he eve of the election: 1 and having no power must make the best ar rangement we can. It th( mode of voting pre scribed bv the officers appointed under the law of Congress should prove illegal, the remedy was in the courts. The Councils | clearly had nothing to do with it. j Mr Given, in reply to tnrtber remarks ot 1 rtir Lloyd, said that gentleman admitted that I the law of Congress prevented voters from voting outside the precincts in which they re- I side. Wbat need. then, of legislation by this Corporation if he matter is already provided lor ! j Mr. Lloyd contended ^hatthis Corporation has a duty to perform under the law. He I would carry the matter before the courts. | Mr. A. Lloyd said there was no time to test I tb<- matter in court before the election. j Mr Gulick said that while there was some I reason in Mr. Lloyd's arguments, yet it was too late now to do anything more than is pro- I posed by the committee in the bill they report. I The amendment offered by Mr. Lloyd destroys that bill, and its passage was the best we can now do. The amendment was then lost by the tollow- I ing vote ?ave, Mr T E. Lloyd, 1; noes, I Messrs. Barr, Gnlick, Given. Lewis, A. I Lloyd, McCathran. Noyes, O wen, and Tait; 9. Mr. T E Lloyd moved that the bill be printed with the proceedings, and made the special order tor to-morrow evening.

The Chair (Mr. Gulick) thought the amend ment was a rellec tion on the members ef the board. I The amendment was lost, on IV Mr. T. E. Lloyd voting for it. j The question recurring on the passage of the bill, it was passed; Mr. T. E. Lloyd only voting in the negative.

The Eioht-Hour Law.?The Working men's Union of New York, composed of rep resentatives of all the trades, has adopted resolutions looking to the carrying out of the Eight-Hour recently passed by the Legisla ture. The resolutions say that inasmuch as the Legislature has, by enacting the measure into a law, thrown the responsibility upon the industrial classes, they consider it an impera tive duty at an early day to make it operate as a practical measure, and that they will not in any case allow what they have earned by so much perseverance te be lost or even en dangered by any default of theirs, however much they may be disposed to conciliate and adapt themselves to the situation. The Union also resolves to invite and couusel employers to have the question considered and be pre pared to assist and co-operate with the work Ingmen in having the Eight-Hour law carried into practice. In the meantime, the Eight Hour law, which was passed by the Illinois Legislature, has had a Air trial by the Board of Public Works at Chicago, and the result of that trial is very suggestive and instructive On the first of the present month the employ ees of the Board of Public Works were re quired to work only eight honrs work instead of ten as before, and were paid for eight hours work instead of ten. Before the close of the first week the workmen grew discontented, petitioned for ten hoars' pay for eight boars' work. The Board refused to grant the request, and in another week the workmen petitioned for tea hours' pay lor tan hoars' work. This request was granted, and they are now work ing the sane number of hours that they hare formerly worked and are receiving the same pay, and are bettsr satisfied by for than they were at tbeprespectot cutting two hours from the length of their day's work aad twenty per c4nt. from the amount of their wages.

Maryland Constitutional Convention. In the Democratic Constitutional Convention, in session at Annapolis, yesterday an order was adopted in favor orannunl sessions ot tne Legislatnre. The Convention was engaged tbe most of the day in the consideration of the second articles of the proposed Bill of Rights, which declares that the Constitution of the United States and the laws made, or which shall be made, tn pursuance thereof, and all treaties made, or which shall be made, under tbe authority of tbe 1'nited States, are and shall be the supreme law of tbe State: and the Judges of this State, and all tbe people of this State are and shall be bonnd thereby, anything in the constitation or laws of this State to the sontrary notwith standing.1' Substitutes for this, pronouncing more emphatically thedoctrlnesof State rights and State sovereignty, were proposed, but were voted down. To the third article, which asserts that "the powers not delegated to the United States by the Con*tituuon thereof, nor prohibited by it to the State, are reserved to the States respectively, or to the people there, of,"' an amendment was offered asserting the "exclusive right" of the people of Maryland to govern themselves ?> as a free, sovereign and independent State," and was also rejected. To the People of thi South.?The Union Congressional Republican Committee haye issued an address to the people of the South. Tbeintention of the reconstruction acte and tbe policy of Congress are fully defined. It declares that the Republican party passed tbe Reconstruction laws as measures of restora tion, and not of punishment: thai it will ex act compliance with conditions making re newal of civil war impossible; that it will se cure the freedmen tbe full and equal rights of citizens. It asks the freedmen tc sustaiu with their \ otes this policy, and all the people of the South to freely accept universal suffrage, to unite in tbe establishment of pnblic schools and to favor the distribution ot lands. It at firms that "it the States lately in rebellion shall cheerfully and in good faith reorganize heir governments upon the principles of the laws passed by Congress, there will then re main no cause of difference between the va rious sections of the country " The Working People?The New York derickraen say that but very few 6f them haye received the advanced wa^es for which they have struck, but they have determined to con tinue the strike. The bakers of New York have determined to ask for S-i a day on July 4th. The horseshoers struck yesterday lorad vanced wa^ee. Tne Brooklyn workiugmen have passed a resolution discountenancing all shopping atter 7 o'clock in the evening, and declaring that they "will buy their dry goods only at those stores which close at 7 o'clock P. M." The New York builders' laborers strike is said to be diawing to a close, the ma jority of the laborers having returned to work at tbe old prices. With regard to the New York Eight-hour law, the New Y'ork Stato trade societies are making arrangements for a general Convention a' Albany, to decide what their course of conduct shall be. It is also an nounced that the Chicago Eight-hour men have called a general Convention of the work lEgmen of Illinois, to be held in that city oa May 26. Lack of Employment.?It is reported that a New York merchant, engaged in but a small business, advertised last week tor a clerk, ap plication to be made bv letter. By noon of tne clay on wnich the advertisement appeared be h.id received eighty applications for the situation, and before the next day had passed the number had reached one hundred and nineteen The salarv was small, the induce ments were less , and the work required close attention, and yet the anxiety for the place was so great as" to be but peorly shown by the number of application*. Many ot the appli cants could speak two or three languages, and claimed to be possessed of various valuable accomplishments. The New York Times con siders this great rush af'er so unpromising a place to be " but one of the mauv proofs of the wide-spread stagnation of business, and the redundancy of labor in many departments of activity." A Shocking Trauedy in Massachusetts. Simon Peck, of (Jridwoldville, Mass , on W ednesday murdered a woman, named Eltnira Cheney, who was living in his house, by sinking heron the head with a heavy e!ut?. He then assaulted his wife, pounding and heating her with a club until she fell to the ground bleeding and senseless. Peck was then brought down by a stone thrown by hts son, eleven years of age. who witnessed the affair, and was soon arrested by Deputy Constable Miller, who committed him to tbe Greenfield jail. The murderer was lormerly a member of the'21st Massachusetts regiment. He is a man of violent and ungovernable temper, and it is thought was insane at tbe time ot com mitting the deed. Mrs. Cheney was living in the house to protect Mrs. Peck from the pas sion of her husbasd. The Coal Trade.?Business in coal is very dull, and has been for some time. Consumers buy sparingly, although the price is lower than for several years past. Good coal is now retailed atS7a$7.50 from the city yards, and as the cost price at the shipping ports for the kind generally used by housekeepers averages about ?5,*25, with (50 cents or 70 cents added for freight, beside other incidental expenses, bat little is left lor profit.

It is said that nearly 1,000 men, women and children are m tetested in the result ofthese suits. ?67"Some ot the Presbyterian brethren ia Philadelphia are troubled about Odd Fellows and Odd Fellowship.
