After the transaction of some preliminary business, J. W.

Wm. Slade opposed the resolution, as he was of tke opinion the money ought to be handed over to the City Hall meeting, as that meeting had authorized the collection of the money. Mr. Lewis explained why he introduced the resolution. He had attended the City Hall meeting on Monday evening, and was sar- prised to learn there that a resolution had been passed prohibiting any one who had not paid #25 from receiving any benefits of the Fourth Werd fund in case of a distribution. As none of the colored men had contributed $25 this res. olution would throw the colored man and his little mite out altogether. The City Hall meet. ing had but little money to divide, ana he thought the colored men might 8s well divide their own and receive its benefits. Mr. J. W. Freeman was opposed to doing anything to insult his white friends. A com- mittee of colored men had been delegated ool- lectors by the City Hall meeting, and he thought the money ought to be turned over to those an- eens is gen a as r.

As the coliection committee had been selected by their white friends, he was in favor of continuing the subscriptions, but before turnipg the money over the colored men ought to receive from the City Hall meet- ing & satisfactory explanation as to the dispo- sition to be made ef the coey A committee consisting of Messrs. Lewis and Freeman were appointed to proceed to the City Hall and receive answers to the following written questions: Ist, Is a man not to receive any benefits from the funds in hand unless he has contributed #25! 2d, Does the City Hall meeting require the colored committee, ap- pointed by said meeting, toturn over the money collected by the committee? The committee retired, and in about half aa hour returned, and reported through Mr. Lewis that to the first question they had received a flat “no,” and to the second question they had been informed by Mr. Davis, thesecretary, that the City Hall meeting would he glad to receive the mozey collected by the colored committee, but did not desire to deceive them as to the dis- position to be made of it.

Mr Freeman desired it to be distinctly under- stood before taking a yote on the resolution that the meeting at the Oity Hall had not discharged the colered man aitogether for they allowed him to receive benefits of the surplus fands if he choosed to put in $25.
