Mr. F. M. Wliitenn nd. Cltairman on Re-
solutions, proseiit-d ihe foMotrinfr report:
Iteport of Committer 011 Resolutions.; .
Whereas. We, the Printersx^scmhlt-d.Ii*«^
concerned the necessity of forming an as-
sociation for the protection of ourselves
and friends of the ' craft," in our Mechan
ical rights; and.
Wh'ereas. The necessity of such proceedings
is made to us apparent hy tlte rapid decrease
of wages, and the (KfRcnltv of obtaining
them at all times, when dne; and<
Whereas, Individuals known to us as
l'Rats.n hare depreciated the business
and lowered the true dignity of the pro-
fession; and that publishers and proprie-
tors of oar city paper? persist in pickin
up boys from the streets, and by their
? number exclude competent workmen, and
lower wages; and.
WnEflEAS. If such a stato. of things con-
tinue, wages-of labor will soon become so
> depreciated below living rates, that ali
good printers and cotnpeti r.t workmen of
the "craft" will be forced either to "tramp"
or abandon the business; and.
Whereas. We are alike avirse to doing
eiftier one or the other, while we hold in
onr owji hands tlte means of self-protcc-
•tion. Therefore, be it
Iftsn'ved That we form onrselvcs into a
bady or Association, to the exclusion ot "raC
printers and incompetent workmen.
Rffpiterrl. That all known competent prin-
ter.* are hereby rcqne.-ted to join in forming
this Association? and that all of doubtful,
acquirements be afterwards proposed, and
tKw-iiierits <iiscti«sed. and if found compe-
tent. rieewd to membership.
Resetted. That we apply immediately to
the Qafveston Printer's Union'7 for-"a
chatter under which to incorporate ourselves
a« a permanent Association.
Resulted. That we adopt the Galveston
and New Orleans rates of wasies. and also
(heir regulations and obligations.
Resoled. Thaf no member of this Asso-
ciation will work for less than the rates to In-
adopted ; and that we, one and all, bind
ourselves by our pledge to that effect.
Resolved. That a copy of these resolutions,
together with the proceedings of this meet-
ing.'be fornished by the Secretary to every
prtMisher in this city, and to the Galveston
afi l "Austin Printer's Union.

A general'Court
oper, Texas, on
trial -of Lieut,

before it A

d 'of shooting
of san^e com-
picion taken to
ible ironed, and
ived of alt com-

Nor was he

t six weeks, he
trial—and when
company for his
want" two wit-
®-who were to be
'-bft nefcused was
for trial. On
accnseo, ara snime" Ihn* ^iWfdiisJ say he wotif
hurt Serg't Sively, or words to that effect.
The chief witness swore that he saw the
accused shoot at the said Sergeant, in front of
the guard honse, where the sentinel was
walking where it would be hnpossible for
any person to gc-t into the guard-hsuse, with-
out being ssen—but three or four persons
came forward and swore that they would=not
believe liim on oath; as being a notorious
desperado and horse thief. Two witnesses
were examined for. the defence, who swore
that the accused was in the1 guard-room,
when the report of the shot was heard.
The officer who was acting judge advocate
was not capable of taking down the evidence
as i' was given, much lesSof advocating jus-
tice between the United States and a prisoner.
When every formality was gone through
■villi, he asked the prisoner if he had any-
thing to say to the Court, when he told them
he was deprived ot every opportunity of ob-
taining counsel, otherwise be wouldj have
made a better defence. The prisoner then
made application for a copyof the proceedings
of the court, but has not yet got them, and it
is four or five months since he was tried.
The Court, after mature deliberation, sen-
tenced him.to he shot to death, at what time
and place the president ©I the United States
tui;:l)t think proper; brit the president <Sora-
mnted it to a •khall and chain at hard labor,
wtd -forfeiture of all pay and allowances for
the ballanee of his enlistment, which is about
ibree years. ««• ~ *>
It must be evident to alt that the prisoner
had an unfair trial by the Captain ot his
Company, who prefered the charges against
him. and was a member of his court, and, wo,
uiiisht say. foreman ofhis jury. - -' -
The prisoner McCanu is a young, man of

ders of your valuable p«perhow the Military
law (or farce) can dispose ofiihe lifeof a-hu-

the foregoing impose a favotir on the

ulation of our eities. cau sec it already
lictraying itself in the hsing generation.—
It is impossible for any nttn to drink even
pure liquors six or seven times a day . with-
out suflvring severely in constitution. And
when he transmits this impaired,constitution
to hi-; son, who in turn impairs it still further
by the same course', it requires little foresight
to see that we are preparing a population for
our cities that will not in physical frame be
much better than the wretched Aztecs. This
Jo ve of drink and bar rooms is every day in
• raasi-ig. Every clay sees fresh saloons start-
ing np in our midst. Every day sees our
youth becoming more and more the victims of
tl.is habit, for really we thiok it morea habit
than a provjsio.ri,.. It is no love for joviality
that tempts them; except ip a few casts.—
It is not the hot exuberance of youth.—
It is not the evenescent impulse of the gay
young fellow who is sowing his wild oats.—
It is, as has been said a cold, deliberate, con
filmed habit. No atmosphere of recklessness
or jollity surrounds the drinking groupes, ex
cept on occasions, and no peals of merriment
atone for the act. by proving that it isat least
unusual. A grim and mefencholly air pre-
vades each countenance. The drinks are
poured out, the glasses raised and touched

it-was almost impossible to find a mau

But to the facts. Ton will remember
that prior to Mrs Cunningham's trial it
was; Tnysteriously Whispered about Yhat
she would, within a few months, intro-
troduce a little stranger to'th6-world, Sup-
posed to be the offspring ofDrJ Bnrdelt.
Authority was given to the statement
by Judge Dean, her counsel, when in his
speech before the Surrogate, on the 3d of
July,he intimated cautiously, but distinct
ly that his client was about to become a
mother, and made a sort of negativie ap
peal to the Surrogate not to pronounce
a decree of bastardy in advance.
Those who had opportunities to notice
Mrs. Cunuighatn's appearance, soon saw
in her form what they supposed to be un-
mistakable evidences that sjie was end
ente. She had also informed Dr. Dhl,
her medical attendant for some time pre
vious to the murder, that she was in an
interesting condition and expected to need
his services somewhere about the middle
of August. The doctor promised his ser
v.ices, and in a few- days called again
Pressing some professional inquiries iu re
gard to her sensations he became suspi
«i6us that site wiis deceiving liim. Hit-
herto he had believed her entirely inno-
cen -ot the-innrder, but now he feared
that she was perpetrating a vHlaihOus
crime. Fisiting her again in ord^r to
sound b^r-m^rcwdeeply,^ his^ doubts were
confirmed, and lie immediately consulted
his counsel, Hon..D^vid E. Wheeter, to'
whom he stated the . circumstances afld
His suspicions. By hig advice be finally
laid the facts before' Mr. A. Oakey "fiall,
thfe District Attorney,* declining* to rhak
any affidavit^ howe^'er, as he'e^^not wish
to have his professional delicacy or con
lid e ii ce-ea lied Hrt^resrrien.
Mr# Hall oonWnfeed at?Iast of."his duty
to aid in the exposition of a crime, and
directed lus attention to mat clause of the
revised sutines whicjj provides that :
Every person who shall fraudulently pro-
duce an infant, falsejy pretcndirig"*it to have
been of parents whose ehifd would be en-
titled to a share of any personal estate, or to
inherit any real estate, with the intent
tercepting the inheritance of any such
estate, or the distribution of any such peralh
nal property from any persoo lawfully entrtlJq
thereto, shall, upon conviction, be punished
upon conviction, by impresiontuent in a State*
Prison not exceeding ten yearss." =j
The District Attorney aweft especial-
ly upon the importance of preventing the,
consummation of a cotemplated crime by
the maturing of its fruits, and also of
guarding against the creation of another
unrevealed mystery. .After reflecting a
day upon the subject Dr Uhl again pre-
sented himself, and declarfd his willing-
ness to act entirely upon the suggestions
of the authorities; Mr. Hall advised him
to go to Mrs. Cunningham, concealing his
suspicion's1,* and ascertain from hereself, if
possible, her precise designs and arrange-
ments. He did so,and succeeded in ob-
taining from h«r an admission that the
approachiug accouchement, and the: ex-
pected heir to whom iiep counsel had re-
ferred, was a myth. She also agreed to
rive him $1,000 to find her a child, and
assist at the ceremonies which should in-
troduce it to the world as her own.
T ie docter seemed to consent aud then
.weut to the District Attorney-t® jeport

following scheme for-briagiSgthe case to
an issue, and entrapping the .guilty wo-
men in her own net of infamy. Dr. Uhl

who, in the abseuee of her lord, had been
indiscreet, and was about • to give the
world substantial evidenee of her disgrace
and who was enxious io dispose^if her
child to some onb who JtaJn't a fcaby ot
her own, and was ready f6 adopt some-
body else's. Nothing but ptarasible; and
the scheme worked well. The-repentant
mother was to be located in Elm street;
aud Mr. Hall undertook to arrange it so
thai, upon any convenient day, p. real live
baby should be forthcoming, to persouate
its character in the drama. The doctor
wes to arrange so that Mrs. Cunningham,
should send for the baby at the proper
time, and produce it to her household as
a genuine article of the Burdell Wood,
after a few hours of-necessary travail.
Mrs, Cunningham fell in the prap at
once, so pleased with as much of it as she
was permitted to see, that she was anx-
ious to have it sprung tfuickly as possible
