A large number of names (70 or ®0) were Bavded in tor membership. Mr. J. Sayies Brown (white) asked to bring forward & matter not immediately connected With the association, and proceeded to read the Sof the brickiayers’ meeting a few nights since. He did net know that the brick- layers intended to form 8 ring against the col- ered men, but he suspected it, and he had therefore presented resolutions to inform any such bat they could not do eo with impunity. The resolutions state that the reported pro- ject of forming a brickiayers’ “ring” in this caty, after a Baltumore plug-ugly pattero, a chief featureof which is to deprive colored brickiayere of employment, and reduce them to hod-carriers an. perity of thie city, or who loves justice and lair play Mr. D. Kelsey (white) moved that the to an election of delegates to the ing convention. apt. Rodgers wished to know if sach con- vention had been called? Major Hall (white) offered a resolution en- the call for the convention, and that Ww proceed to elect delegates to the con- tions were called for, when the ques- tion Was raised as to what proportion of the number showld be white and what colored. A motion was made by Dr. Purvis (colored) that ten colored and five white shall be elected. Acolored man moved an ‘amendment that the delegation shall consist ot sever colored and eight white. Mr. Kelsey urged that no distinction should be made on account of color. The motion in regard to the proportion of white and colored was withdrawn. The following were elected viva voce: Sid- ney McFarland, (colored,) i4th and I streets; L. E. Dudley, (white,) between I%th and 13th; Thomas E. Gran, (colored,) 11th st., be tween I and K; Isaiah Stewart, (white,) t0tn st., between U and V; Edward Ambush, (col- ored,) between 14th and 15th and I and K sts.; ree A Piper, (colored,) 14th, between H and I ajor H.

Samuel Datcher, colored, was nominated but was not elected, it being stated that he had done nothing for the cause. N. B. Myers, col- ored, wasrejected. W.H. Thomas was elected, but declined. Mr.G.A.Hall was nominated and declined. Mr. J.M. Donnell (white) moved that the yote be made unanimous. Capt. W. Millar (white) moved that any va- cancies occurring after the last meeting of the club before the convention be filled by thedel- egates; carried. Mr. Dudley offered a resolution demanding that free schools be guaranteed to the children ot all citizens ot the Republic, and requesting friends throughout the country to insist that Con, 1 require the constitutions of the rebel States to guarantee free schoois to all their people without regard to race or color; a ted. Major Hall introduced a resolution proyi- ding that the association should meet on Fri- day evening next tomake the ward nomina- tions. Dr. Purvis suggested that a committee be Sppointed to nominate a ticket. ajor Hall said he would withdraw his res- olution if the motion to appoint a committee be made, such committee to be instructed to report next Friday evening. After a long discussion, Major Bramhall moved that eleven delegates be selected on bext Friday evening, whese duty it should be seleet a ticket for ward officers, and report at a future meeting: adopted. Major Hall moved that the fifteen delegates to the convention be authorized to call fature meetings; and the club adjourned until next Friday evening. ——_e—____ FourTH Wagp REPUBLICAN CLUB—Specia Merting.—1n response to & call published yes- terd: ‘be Fourth Ward Hepublican Club, or & part of it, for the meeting was small, met in Rev. Dr. Bouldin’s church, corner of 4th and L streets. “ The President and Vice-Presidents beingab- sent Mr. P.H. Rhinebart, white, was called to the Chair, and stated the object of the meeting to be to elect five delegates to the Convention to meet to-night for the more perfect organiza- tien of the Republican party. Major Merse (white) moved to lay the eub- ject on the table till the next regular meeting, but withdrew at the suggestion that there were few ereene and that the subject might be dis- cussed. Mr. J.H. Crossman (white) wanted to hear the subject discussed. He had been away ana did not know what they were doing. John King (white) described the de- plorable condition of the party in chis city and urged the appointment of an executive com- mitiee. The colored voters want it, and the party wants it, but it is not alittle strange that every effort toward effecttng an organization bas been thwarted. There are disorganizers in our midst effice seeking, and they are they who are doing the mischief. Mr. Needham (white) ceuld not account for the sudden zeal of the gentleman = King who a few nights ago was so violently opposea to the measure of organization. If the spirit of disorganization is not cheeked we shall be ingloriously defeated. Maj. Doughty (white) desired the success of the party and woald doall he couid, but he boped there will be no more personal aliu- sions in our club meeting. The publication of some of them m the papers was a disgrace wo _the party. Mr. George Hatton (colored) favored an im- mediate election of the committee. Dr. Eckert (white) explained the action of the Fifth Ward club, and asserted that all the difficulty had arisen from the fact that it was contemplated giving ail the centro! into the hands of a few. Mr. Hickman (colored) remarked that the injunction of St. John is applica! children love one another.” The }: of con- troyersy the less danger. There is no fear that the colored people will not vote right. They Will nominate the right men for the right place, and elect them too. Mr. O. S. Baker, of the First Ward, was called for to participate in the discussion, ana after some objection under the rules were re- moved proceeded. He said Mr. S.J. Bowen regretted that he signed tbe call for the con- vention. He bad been misled, and requested that it be laid over. A paper nad been taken to him at night and a request made to sign it to save the ‘y. All the club presidents ex- cept two—the Sixth and Seventh Wards—have repudiated the call. Mr. John R.
