per, after announcing the committees
for the Coming year, tendered hisresig
uation, stating that whilst he highly

would be better to have one of the
young men at the head of the society ;
he promised, however, to continue to
do all iu his power to aid in the
societj-'s work. Mr. Kemper's resig
natioa was accepted and the thanks
of the Union were unanimously
given to him for the great interest

fairs. After the transaction of the

strumental and vocal music under the

negro named William Gallery, who
owed a lodging bill to Rebecca Quill,
colored, last night told herif her daugh?
ter Nettie would accompany him to the
riverside where a sand scow on which
he was employed was stationed he
would pay the "bill. When he and the
girl reached the spot he made an as?
sault on her and picking up a brick in
each hand told her if she didn't get out
of the neighborhood he would kill her
and throw her body overboard. She
left and procured a warrant for his ar?
rest. Officers Smith and Beach went
after Gallery and found him on the
?and scow, and when be was told the
nature of their business he said ho did
not care for their warrant, as he was
outside of-their jurisdiction. The offi?
cers made no further reply but conduct
ed him to the station house. This
morning, when brought before Mayor
Strauss, he did not denynhe assault,
but again insisted that the authorities
had no Jurisdiction in 'the case. The
Mayor thought they had and fined him
$7, and if he fails to pay that sum he
will go on the chain gang.
