ADIOCRNED MEETING oF THE “StRalcHT-ovT Rervecicans’’ oF tHe Ssvente Warp —Pur- suant to adjournment, t! raight out Republi- cans of the Seventh Ward a at Potomac Hail last night. and were cAlled to order by Mr. 3.R.E} , chairman of the previous meeting. . Mr. Elvans bad some difidence in taking the chair this evening; a meeting of men, professin to be unconditional Union men, bad aseembl here on Thursday evening last, and it might be come the duty of this meeting to look into the Proceedings at that meetirg, and see bow far they were unconditional Union men. That as- sembly bad resolved to do away witb and ignore the fenate of the United States, by giving all powers to councils; they will probably try to do away with the House of Representat:ves next; and we must aleo consider whether we can affil- inte with a party who at every opportunity and on all occasions, bring in the everlasting nigger. Mr. Garrett regretied that this meeting was not so large as the previous one; he had not seen it announced In the Repub!ican, and he therefore moved an adjournment for two weeks, and that the meeting be announced In the Republican and | Star two days previous. { Mr. Boyd asked Mr. Garrett to withdraw his motion for a moment; be wanted to bave the reso- | lutions of the previous meeting read and endorsed ' by this meeting. The democratic cail was gotten up in a peculiar way, and it was very nrcessary that the people shouid understand the principles of the republican party. The conntry had been blinded with the learned dust which the demo- crstig party had thrown intoits eyes. That party hed rained the country, and they were aset of thieves and robbers when they were {n power. The great men, the leacers of that (the democrat- ic) party were of the worst kind. The call of last Thursday asked the attendance of all opposed to republicans, but when they met they said that was accidental, and sald they wished to ignore party. That was an oldand hackneyed cry. The democrats bad had the power sol ng that they were very loth to give itup uow. We must take notice of all these things and frown upon them, and therefore he wisbed the resolutions of the revious republican meeting endorsed at thisone. ben these creatures who call themseives un- conditional Union men want to get power tie carry Union on their backs and front. while all the time they are helping secession. He did not, however, wish to charge the gentlemen who met on Thursday night with beiny secessionists. It ‘was time the republicans took a position. Unless they were active tre democrats would again be successful. We must bestir ourselves for the election Mr. Eivans sald he had the pleasure or misfor- tune to attend Thursday’s meeting, and he did not think the resolutions then adopted would agree with Mr. Lioyd’s professions. looked tee mach to conciliation. That union of Union- ists for the sake of the Union, sounded queer to him; when it was conditional, be wanted a con- ellistion for thesalvation of the Union. Hisidea of unconditional Unionism was, not to stop at any conditions. As a Republican be was perfect! satisfied with what the President had don-; an: being fully satisfied that nothing detrimental to the country’s interests would be done in future, be was willing to endorseeverything. We must determine bow far we will sustain the platform sod nominations of Thursday; and we must aleo determine whether we will endorse their resolu- tion in reference to education, and thus virtually attempt to do away with the United States Senate. The Republican resolutions had been once adopt- ed, and he thought it improper to re-endorse them. Mr. Boyd ged leave todiffer First meet- ings are sometimes mere committee:; but as it appeared to be the wishof the meeting, he would wi*bdraw bis resolution. Mr. Bacon thought it would be entirely out of to endorse the resolutions at this Spear Mr. Garrett’s motion prevailed, and the meeting adjourned for two weeks. (fhe resolation referred to by Mr. Elvans, as attempting to doaway with the U.S. Senate is as fol'ows: ** Resolved, That in lieu of the Senate bill pro- viding for schools for the negro children of this city, tals meeting recommends that the councils In passing the tax billfor the ensuing year re- duce the taxes on the property of negroes, so a8 to omit that part of the tax now set apart for school rposes.”” hn poesinn’y the same number (37) attended the meeting last night as on the vious one, it would seem that the “straight outs’? of the Seventh Ward may be set down at that figure.

Mr. E. D. Tibbet’s application por op eetatment as a teacher was received and referred. The Chair stated that in compliance with the direction of the board, he had had an interview ‘with Mr. Corcoran, in reference te the occupation of the school room on H street. Mr. Corcoran’s reeson for declining to grant the further use of his bullding on H street for school purpcses, was the enormous assessment that had put upon his house and furniture. He however granted the use of the room for three months er. that purpose; reported a plan for ibe enlargement purpose, a gement hool house on the corner of Seventh and +G street south. The alteration adds an area of 200 square feet, and will cost $500, with $150 addi- t onal for the roof.

Messrs. Wilson, Uttermeble, Wright, and Hel- mead were appointed said committee. Mr. Uttermenie introduced a resolution (which ‘was adopted) forbidding the female pupils of the schools going about in Lic places selling tickets for the concerts held by the schools. Mr. U.ex- jlained that he wished to stop the practice of the Female scholare ———— the Departments and stores, offices and public places, and indiscrimi- pately offering tickets for sale He did not think It at all conducive to their morals, but tended to make them bold, and away much of that natural refinement which every young lady should Messrs Walsh, Ellis, Wilson, and Miller were inted a committee to prepere a Lag en for the annual examination, and make neces- sary srrangements as to distribution of a, &e. tion to hase copies of the Rg map, and also Philbrich’s tablets, was tuid over.

Mr. Jobn Clary pogo cegy meen & The Chair rend the call for the meeting, and stated that it was open for the transaction of bus!- ness. i Mr. J. F. Hodgson offered the following reso- ution Reso'ved, That we fully and cordially endorse the acts of the present yy eaaenae en icy adopted by them for P' jon fre Tebellina, aad for the maintenance of the Union; that we approve of the course of the Executive in showing bimself independent of mere party control, and In bis recommending to Congress such measures as he believed were for the benefit of the whole country, and for all rties. Pe Resolved. Thst in our present Mayor, Hon. Richard Wallach, ‘we recognize an uncompro- mising Union man, of stern and strict integrity, who has devoted his time, talents, and energies to promote the interests and welfare of the city of Washington; and while congratulating our fellow-citizens upon the occupancy of the execu- tive chair by this sterling patrict, we hereby nominate him for re-election, and pledge our- selves to use every honarable means to secure so desirable an end. Mr. Wollard hoped that the meeting would pursue the old course, and elect delegates toa convention; and stated that the course pursued in the several wards wes eine it dissatisfaction among their own friends, and |f Led sogpce’ course was continued he thought that another candidate of the same party as the present incumbent would be nominated. Mr. Hodgson did not see the use of the Third Ward starting the movement to hold a conven- tion, when nearly all the other wards had expressed their sentiments. Mr. Wollard said the Third Ward had fre- quently led off the convention before, and they should do it again. He was oj to the course they were now pursuing. le did not think it | for the meeting to @peak for the pve of he ward, and it was impossible for such a small meeting to select the mayor. Thedelegates could be elected to a convention, and by the time it as- sembled they would know the views of the peo- ie. Mie Shepherd replied, that Mr. Wallach had never been nominated in convention, but had run upon his own merits. He viewed conventions as bumbugs, and stated that in most cases they were packed. The free voice of the people, untram- meled by the influences of a convention, was all that was wanted. Mr Wollard stated that it was true that Mr. Wallach had never received the nomination of a meaias, but he had never been elected by the people. Mr. Shepherd sald that Mr. Wallach had been elected fairly and squarely at the last election, by bis people, but he was cheated out of it. [Ap- ause.) . The resolutions were then adopted. Mr. Hodgeon offered the following resolution : Kesolved, That tke unconditional Union voters of the Third Ward, irrespective of all past polit- ical associations, in convention assembled, do hereby declare the following gentlemen (all being the present Incumbents) to be our choice for the respec ive offices named atthe approaching mu- nicip.l election, viz: For Mayor—Richard Wallacb. For Alderman—Jos F. Brown. For Common Council—Thomas Lewis, Alex. R. Shepherd and Thos. A. Stevens. For Assessor—Henry B. Curtis. And that we pledge ourselves to use all honora- bie exertions to secure the success of the forego- ing ticket. Mr.G.C.B. Mitchell (the caller of the meet- ing) moved to lay the resolution on the table ‘be Cha!r—Is there any second to the motion? Voices—Take the vote. ‘Tne resolutions were then adopted, no one vot- in the negative. . Mitcbell—1 don’t think that the resolution ‘was fully understood. Mr Shepherd would prefer to have a risin; vote, and in order to prevent any mielenised ing he moved to have the vete reconsidered. [Cries of “No,” “no *') he motion to reconsider was*lost.

Important Dectsion.—Catherine Donovan was before Justice Clayton yesterday, on the charge of selling liquor to minors, after having been fined the vious day for selling liquor without license. It was proven that she sold liquor to the boys, which she did notdeny. The justice, after reading the law, dismi the case, as fa the Corporation law on the subject the word minors ie left out; the law only applying-to apprentices. 1a the law of the Levy Court of the county there is no difficulty, the term ‘slaves, spprentices and. minors,’ being used. It would be well for our City Fathers to supply the omission at once, as no doubt it was the intention to have included minors as well as apprentices, when the law was made. Tue Maronatty.—Wm. T.
