Governor Jenkins replivs that he bad sup- posed be was exercising such freedom in his expres-ion of opinion relative to public mat- ters as seems stil] accorded to citizens of the Republic, but did not imagine that it was abridged by accident, And that a speaker or writer holding office in the tuture should not do and say what he believes is required by his duty and oath of office. This, the Governor hopes, will not involve either of them in con- flict or controversy im the execution of their Tespective trusts, as he (thinks it need not nd hog of this character he desires to avoid. The general the explanation is Satisfactory so far as the past t~ concerned, but being sent to execute the laws of Congress he will carry out the provisions ot the military bill, which recognized the existing State gov- ernment merely provisional. The object of allowing these goveruments to continue is for the administration ef the State laws during the progress of recousiruction. Had Congre<s contemplated opposition from the State au- thorities, 1! would have legislated the present State governments out of vxistence.

LOCAL NEWS. . SEVERTH Wakp Rerceiican Mrrrixo. — Last evening, a regalar meeting of the Seventh Ward Republican Ciwd was held ai St. Paul's Chapel, Sh street, which was quite largrty attended. Mr. F. A. Boswell in the chair aad Dr. Wm. Boyd secretaiy. in the minutes of the last meeting, the secre- tary read that the words “his exceilency,” prefixed to the “president,” having been stricken out, the association * theretore refused toendore F. A. Boswell as ap excellent presi- dent of the association.” Mr. Reuben Bacon (white) moved thatthe words quoted be stricken out, stating that the inference of the secretary "Bat the association retused to endorée the president was far fetched, and it would take a six-horse team to draw such & one. The objectionable words were stricken on". The secretary asked to read the proceedings of two previous meetings, which had not been reid. Mr. George S. Hepburn (white) objected to the reading of the proceedings, as he did not ‘want to sit again till 12 o'clock Dr. Boyd then read the proceedings of a prsphcr ihe atthe Freedmen’s school, with the bi f members,(inciuding himselt,) which were sent to the association in compliance with 4 resolution, ard the names were received as members of this aseociation Rev. W. J. Walker (colored) anderstood that bis name was read as treasurer of that club, and he wished to say that if suck was the case that he had received no tunds, Dr. Boyd.—The money ts all eafe. you a receipt. Mr. Walker. —Leave it on the table then. Dr. Boyd —1'll leave it when 1 get ready. Dr_ Boyd here resigned his seatas secretary, and Mr. James Bowen (colored) was elected to fill the vacancy. Mr.S.S. Baker, (white,) of the executive committee, reported the names of 15 or 20 per- sons who were elected to membership Mr James Small (white) moved that chal- lengers to act at the registry be elected; carried. Rev. Anthony Bowen, colored, Rev. W. J. Walker, colored, George S. Hepbara, white, 5. S. Baker, white, H. M. Knight. white,J. T. G. Brown, colored, D. Dyson, celored, G. H. Newman, ( olored, were elected. Charlies Marshall (colored) asked if the challengers would go round and bring up the sick, and stated that money should be raised to pay for a wagon or carriage. He moved the appointment of a committer for this purpose. ev. A. Bowen (colored) anggested that the committee be compered of ten members, so that they could go in pairs, as in some cases it might require two men to get one in a cart Charles Marshall, (colored.) Wm. A. Wilson, white,) and Arthur Pannell, Jutins Lee. m. White, —— Harrad, Henry Conovers, Wm. Walker, and J. B. Fitzhugh, (colored,) were - cone Dr. Boyd tendered the use of a wagon tothe committee. Rev. A. Bowen said that he ajl Bauled by a triend of his. Mr. Bacon inquired as to the amount ot funds in the treasury. Mr. Newman (colored) replied that he had about $3 as treasurer. Mr. C. Marshall (colored) urged that meim- bers look after their friends. The Chair stated that he bad been informed that the registry in the Seventh Ward takes place in the basement of the Sixth street Pres. byterian church. Mr. Newman remarked that numbers of the members had gone down the river, and he #sked if they were not present it they could be registered. The Chair understood that if such are vouched for by reliable citizens they could be registered Mr. T. E. Smithson moved the ap; of a committee of five to nominate SOn6 at the next meet, (Oo Tepresent the ward in the nominating convention. Mr. Jos. Williams (of Fredericksburg, Va.,) asked if this motion did not conflict with the Trsolution previously adopted that the dele- gates sbould not be elected until after the reg- istry The only true mode was to elect the delegates in open meeting. Mr. John Small (white) called attention to the fact that the gentleman who had just taken bis sea: bad recently stated that he was not a voter in this city, butin Virginia, and if voter he had no right to come Pt to dictate to the club im mat- ters belonging to them as citizens. It was right and proper to his mind that the club should appoint a committee to present the names of persons as deleg: » and he had no doubt the committee would recommend the names of respectable men,—men who had not yoted for the ordinance of secession. The gentleman's course had been such as to cause the club to be held up toridicule inthe paper-, and be did not wantany man who had sided in the rebellion te come here and attempt to instruct those who were citizens to do what both thought they could do without his aid. r. Williams replied that he could become acitizen whenever he chose to, and that ‘he gentleman who had just spoken. with ‘he hew-papers at his back, could not injure him. His record was too well-known to suffer any damage trom such attacks by aman who pre- tends to be a Republican. Mr. T.H. Barron (white) rose to a point of order, tha! mo personalities should be in- dulged in. Mr. Williams remarked that these things bad been pitched upon him, and he must re- sent it The Chair.—No personalities wil be al- lowed Mr. Williams procecded, saying that every Allempt to affect Bis influence bad been a fail- ure, and added to it. He voted for sece-<ion to keep from pri-on. He had come direct from church—a prayer meeting—as a gentleman, and, be trusted, as @ Christian, and did not eypect to be insulted r.S. S. Baker (white) rose to a point of or- » that the loyalty or disloyalty of the gen- teman had nothing whatever todo with tne question under consideration Mr. James Bowen moved to lay the resoiu- tion on the table: carried. Mr. R. Bacon proposed to reque-: the pas- tors of the celored churches of the ward to Lomimate persons for delegate= to the meeting. Dr. Boyd —Does the gentleman mean to ig- nore the association. Mr. John T. Costin (colored) said be \onld like to bear some sense, and the idea of Mr. Bacon did not surthim. These ministers were appointed trom other places,and did not know the people, and some would pass members of ther own churches without speiking He wanted more sense and less caviling about ot- fice. If you are going to huckstr the offices where wil you get the colored men to support you! These ministers were not ages to make the mght kind of nominations, and he wanted none but true men. Key, A. Bowen remarked that he mu<t -ay €@s auch 88 be respected the ministers jhat lie could not trust any one or a combination of them to make nominations for him. They night KEOw their congregations very well but did not know The white citizens, and he wanted white men who would represent the colored men. Rey. W. J. Walker (colored) said that the views taken were correct. Mr. Bacon said that ke had an abiding confi- dence in the acutenes~ and integrity of the min- ist-y, batas there was opposition to ithe would withdraw it. Mr. Coston said thatone of the ministers was trom Nova Seotig,and asked bow 1 would suit those who had been old line whigs and know- notbings to trust colored men who are foreizn- ers to act for them. In the past he had seryea as & caterer to John Quincy Adams, und also to Andrew Jackson, and had served his coun- try, having been shot in the head in the Fiori- da war, and also in the head under General Taylor in the Mexican war, and now the idea was preposterous to ask him to make itinerant blacks a committee to make nominations for him. He would not ask them to do what they could do themselves. Mr. Small arose and proceeded to discuss the question as to who were entitled to be regis- tered, aud alluded first to those who had been engaged with theenemies of the count: ke no Mr. Barron hoped that there woul. personalities. Mr. Smithson called Mr. Barron to order. Dr. Boyd inquired if a card published in the Star & week since, over the signature ot F. H. Boswell, had been written by the Chair. The Ohair replied in the affirmative. Dr. Boyd. only ask to be sure, for 1 may ave occasion to reply. Rey.

Dr. Boyd.—Well, sir, my name is om that list rhe Cha'r —1If such is the case, the gentle- Mon is a member Mr. R Bacon moved to reconsider "he vote by which the club agreed to rece: the other cinbs en masse. Mr. Hepburn said that the gentleman, Dr. Boyd, had thrown himself overboard. Mr Jsmes Bowen moved to lay Mr. Bacon's motion on the table; carried, Mr. Costin said he was expecting © go Seuth in a few days to manufacture Black Republicans, and be wanted the members to do their duty. Major Wo S Merse was invited and ad- dressed the association; after which a yote of ‘banks was passed to him Mr. George S. Hepburn stated that he voted agsinst Majer Morse being Wards speaking, and because they had been troubled by a blatherskite named Rinehardt. ‘The Chair called Mr. Hepourn to order. rr Hepburn continued, saying thatmen had Ssserted that there was net a aozen loyal men in the city. and he did not want to hear sach men. He did not wonder that the Leader went down, forshe had an awful load to carry in P.H. Rhineharat. Mr. Bacon offered a resolution declaring that Wm. Boyd, since the organization of the aseociation, bas pursued a course detrimental To the objects we wish to accomplieh, and the best interests of this association requires that he should cease to bea member thereof, and that he be expelled. Dr. Boyd attempted to get the floor, amid several motions to 'y¥ on the table,” bat there having been no second to the resolution, it failed. Mr. Bacen moved that the vote by which the clubs were requested to send up their rolls be reconsidered; which was lost. The Chair desired to brand a story in circu- lation that he had asa magistrate showered a colored boy asa “lie.” This report was put in circulation by the notorious Judge Day. Mr. J. H.Crane (white) deprecated the man- ner in which stories were circulated, and ad- vised that before such are circulated parties see those interested and get at the truth. Dr. Ricord (white) thonght that these stories came from Jadge Day, a man who was nov: sick and wonld meet his reward. Dr Boyd said he understood that some one bad circulated the report that the president ot the club had voted against colored suffrage.
