THE BIGUTEENTI WARD, An immonse Law-and-Ordor meoting wasfheld ast ovening in_tho Lighteonth Ward, at the School-House, No. 104 Bromor streot. The achool-room was crowded to suffocation, aud many that wore aoxious to como jneido had to ‘bo contented to remain in the hall or go away, Aldorman Thomas Carnoy, thoP'resident of the Eighteenth Ward Law and Ordor Club, occupicd the chair, and Dr. Cupuinghism acted as Secrota- 1.yl\h'. John Sullivan was the first spesker. He expressed his delight at soeing such an immenso crowd of his countrymen present, and he wag confident that the Eighteouth Ward would roll upon immense majority for Law-and-Order, Thero was hardly an Irishman in the Ward who wonld bo somoan a8 to aid thoir archenemy, Hosing, : Tho Hon, A, L. Morrison was tho next spoak- er introduced. fo snid that three-fourths of the Irish vote would be cast in favor of Taw and Order. No ono man could control the Irish voto. An Irishman was tho custodian of his own honor, and any Irishman that bragged of earrying tho Irish voto in his ’mckot was an_impostor and falsifior. (Voico: i Talk about Hesing "), The apeaker continued : The Germans are good citizens and make good neighvors; but now thoy were banded togother for & bad purpose, aud therofore thoy ought to ba defented. The Germans could do just about 28 thoy plonsod on tho North Sido, except in the Eighteenth Ward. Irishmen who went with thom wonld cortainly bo sold. Tho Scandivaviaug were not asked to go with tho Gormans, becauso it was too well-known that they wore ail on tho gido of Law snd Order. The Germans talk about baving represontative Irishmon on thoir pido. What wera theo roprosontative Irishmen ? Nothing but humbugs and bummers, Hesing during the war used to say that ho would rather 5it by tho side of tho dirtiest niggor than along- sldotn Irishman. How did they like sucha man a8 that for a leader. Now beeauso thin man had lost his power ho wants tho Irish to Lolp him ont of tho dilemma and again elevate bim into power. It was the duty of the peoplo of tho ward tosee to it, that a Law-and-Order Aldormau was olocted naxt fall. Ho hoped no Irishman could bo bought with monoy ; the man that sold his vots was a coward and a scoundrel, Buch men might bo found smong tho pimps, thieves, sud gamblors, but the honest workingman ‘would mot barter his manhood for a fow dollars. Thoy should raiso politica out of the filthy slough Into which it had fallon, And thoy had nlready sccomplished somothing,—namely, that their meotings woro beld in tehool-houses and othor respectable lacen instead of in low whisky-shops.

Until to-day, tho reports rogarding thoir movements have boon very much oxnfignrutod and unsatig- factory. As far a8 can bo ascoriained, there aro cortainly not over 200 of theso Indiansin Colorado, and thoy aro moving In broken and ecattorod detachmeonts. It iw ovident that they did not slart out on the war-path, their mission being » horse and stock- stoaling raid. Beouting partics from varlous oluts throughout the Torritory were soon on l:ol; track, and thoy failed to gather up any stock, The report which was circulated that they killod somo whites and burned buildings has not boen authonticated.
