The first was a committee of citizens, headed by the Mayor, welcoming to New Orleans an orator of known reputation in the North, and the other was that of a colored man riding in a carriage at the expense of the city. The occa- sion was the arrival of Hon. W. D. Kelley, member of Congress from Pennsylvania, by the New Orleans and Jackson railroad, from Memphis. (On the arrival of the train, Judge Kelley wae met at the depot by Mayor Hearh and a large delegation of prominent citizens, and was thence escorted in an open carriage, followed by a train of eight carriages, contain- ing some members of the Common Upuncil and the rest of the delegation, to the St. Charles Hotel. Among the crowd at the depot were many colored people of both sexes. At the hotel the Mayor extended the hospitali- ties of the city to Judge Kelley in a brief speech, to which the latter replied with much feeling, accepting the honor, and expressing bis gratification that a man of his strong opin- ion and impetoosity of speech was at last at liberty to visitthe now free city of New Or- leans, from which, by reason of his political views, he bad been hitherto excluded. Judge Hiest then welcomed Judge Kelley in the name of the citizens, and Kev. D. J. B Smith, a col- ored gentleman, in a few very eloquent words, referring to Mr. Kelley's early efforts in behalf of his oppressed race, as well as to his con- gressional career, tendered a welcome from the colored citizens, not only of the city, butot the State of Louisiana. Whatever political course the judge recommended the people would pursue. Among those present were Judge Durell, General S. L. Brown, Attorney General Lynch, General Sypher, Judge War- wouth, snd many other gentlemen of the mili- tary, legal and clerical professions. Senator WILson’s TOUR.—Before Senator Wilson left Augusta, Ga. he witnessed a torch-light procession got up in his honor by the colored people. On his arrival at Atlanta, Thursday, he was met by General Rufus Sax- ton and adeputation of citizens appointed at a@ public meeting a few days since. Their chairman was Mr. Farrall, formerly a colonel in therebel army, bat now said to be thor- oughly reconstructed. Mr. Wilson spoke at noon Irom & staging erected on the west front of the Olly Hall. He was iniroduced by Mr. Farrall. any of the principal citizens at. tended him, and ex-Governor Brown and General Pope occnpied seats on the platform. Some twelve hundred members of the Colored Republican Union Olub marched in proces- sion to the ground, with flags and music. Mr. Wilson’s spesch covered the same ground sub- stantially that he went overin nis Augusta speech. He had among his auditors a large number of white citizens. The great bulk of his audience consisted, however, of colored eople, of whom women formed & considera. Bre portion. They ail listened attentively and patiently, though he spoke for evertwo hours, during all which time the sun was blazing fiercely on them. He left yesterday morning for Montgomery, Ala MARYLAND ConsTITUTIONAL CONVENTION.

Bramhall, (waite,) first vice president, inthe chair, and Mr. b. Ambush (colored) secretary, which was densely crowded Mr. Walker Lewis, (eolored,) chairman of the nominating committee. stated that the re port wae ready, and Mr Curry (colored) read the report, recommending the following ticket: For Atderman— ZsIman Richards; tor Coun- ciimen—Jobn L. Pfau, 0. AlonzoStewart. and Wm. Rutherford; for Assessor—Joshua Wait. ney. The report states that it has the unani- mous approval of the committee; that those named answered satisfactorily the questions in the resolutions (offered by Mr. Piper) adopted by the elub, Mr. G. M. Arnold moved that the names be acted on separately. Mr. J. Sayles Brown (white) offered a pre- amble and series of resolutions, setting forth that legislative recognition of a man’s right to vote carries with ita right to be voted for: providing that it is the duty of the Republican party to practically sustain this goctrine in the ensuing election; that the position of the party in Wasbingion, composed as it is chiefly of colored men, requtres prompt actien in such nominations, lesta fa‘lure so to do should be Tepresented as a denial of the expediency of the colored man holding office or sitting upon juries, and instructing the committee on nom- imations to amend tbeir report by substituting the name of some eligible colored man for that of one of the persons nominated Mr. Brown said be had felt a great deal of interest in this matter, and was in hopes the Republicans would test this question at the coming election. The eves of the country were how on the party in the District, and they should not allow this epportunity to pass without making this move, and it was their duty here at (he Capitol of the nation to take the lead, and it was to be hoped that in this ward the lead would be taken and the honor claimed. Congress demanded this step to ba taken, 80 does the party, and he believed he spoke the sentiments of the white Republi- cans waen he said they demanded it. ltis urged by some that there is a provision in the city charter which will disqualify a colored man trom holding a seat in the Councils, and be would make the issue now. The colored man seemed inclined to wait, but he would not, and he asked that the issue be made now. Mr S. McFarland (colored).—--Don't think itexpedient.” Mr. Brown.—lf we place a colored man on the ticket we can elect him. Mr. McFarland.—Don’t see it. [Laughter.} The Chair stated that Mr. Brown's resola- tions beingequivalantto a motion to recommit, they took precedence of the motion of Mr. Ar- nol. Mr. Ambush (the secretary) urged \hat the Meeting stand by the report of the committee, stating that the recommendations were made irrespective of color, and they bad done their whole duty Mr. Jobn L. Pfau (colored) seconded the motion of Mr. Brown and believed that this Was & MOS( important question, whick should be tully discussed before action is taken on the report of the committee. As for the right of the colored man to bold @ffice, he believed the civil rights bill (now hofestly carried out) settled the question. and in effect amended the charter. He hoped the commiitee would again lake the report, and they could act on it in a tew memeats. He wished the question tested in the courts, ind would court the oppor- tunity. Mr. L. E. Dudley (white) said he was folly impressed with the belief that under the civil rights bill and the <nuffrage bill a colored mar could hold office. and he would vote tor any man Nominated by the meeting, not asking Whetber be was black or white. The com- mittee was composed mostly ot colored men, and they could haye placed colored men on the ticket if they had seen fit. As they had made their report, he thought that their wishes should be respected. He was willing, as the colored men were largely in the major- ity, and as they were the interested party, he Was willing that the question should be left With them exclusively. Mr. D.M Keisey remarked that he had no objection to this move if it was practicable or Jeasable. They should take things as they ex- ist and not as they ought to be. His desire was that the word “white” should be stricken out of the charter, but it was there, and Congress bad lefrit abarro the colored man holding office, The charter is explicit in saying that the members of the Councils shall be “tree white males,’ &c. This was the organic law of the Disirictand was binding. Betore col- ored men can boid effice this lion should be re- moved, but it was stil] in the way and the law was obligatory. He was glad to see that the colored men were trying to avoid this Lion. The charter will expirein 1~6s, when Congress will have to make a new law, and will doubt- Jecs make this ri, bt. Mr. Brown.—Yes. wait for the lions to get out of the way. Mr. Kelsey continued, arguing that neither Ube civil rights bill or the suffrage act con- ferred the right to hold office on the colored man. Mr. Arneld (colored) asked if there was any- thing to prevent him, an American citizen of African descent, from holding the office of President of the United States. Mr. Kelsey repiied that there was not on account of race or color, but that there were certain qualifications as to age, &c., re- quired. The charter of the city required an officeholder to be an owner of real estate, and he asked how many colored men owned land. [Voices—Thousands of them.) Mr. Arnold remarked tha: if they nominated a colored man they could elect him. Mr. McFariand.—That's so; but we don't want to go to war yet. Mr. Kelsey said that this question was at jetst impolitic, and asked, what will be the Tesult if a colored man is elected ? Mr. Brow We will get him in. Mr. Kelsey. ou should say that you will contest it, and if yon elect one the question will remain open ior perhaps a year, and we will lose one representative in the meantime. Mr. Ambush said that the committee kad done their duty; they had been fourteen days at work, and now come into the meeting with the result of their deliberations, not saying whether the nominees are white or black. They did not consider the color, but anly the questions of patriotism and ability. [Ap- plause.] The report demands respect at least, and the gentleman who had sprung this ques- tion shonid have done so before. By some means he had got into the committee meeting, and he shonld bave raised the question there. {Applause, and cries of « Bravo.) Me. Marshall Brown (colored) moved to lay the resolutions on the table. Mr. Brown (white) said that he was satis- fied, but wished every one present to go on the record. They could do as they pieased, but he would go with the advance guard. The vote wastaken, and the motion to lay on tbe table carried. - Mr. Arnold. desired to say that he would stand by the nominees of the meeting, and was tn hopes that at least one colored man wouid be put on the ticket. [Hisses.) Well, hiss me down it you ehoose, but understand my po- sition. The Chair.—_The gentleman is eut of order Mr. Arnold.—I am speaking to a privileged question. = Mr. McFarland objected. The motion of Mr. Arnold to vote on the Nominees separately was adopted, and Mr. Richards’ name came up for the consideration of the meeting. ‘ Major Hall endorsed Mr. R., as also did Mr. Jos. N.Callan. The latter, however, stated that Mr. R had not done as much for the col- ored ple as he could have done. Mr. McFarland asked if Mr. R.’s name ap. peared on the rolls as a member. The Chair decided that Mr. R. was eligible asa candidate, whether he was a member of the club or not The debate wae continued for some time on the question of ratifying the nomination, and there was some opposition to it. Mr. Frazier urged that Mr. Richards was the right man—a friend of the colored man, who voted for suffrage. Mr. McFarland remarked that he had heard .

Mr. McFarland said that he had heard that Mr. Stewart was &@ little prejudiced, he having said that he would not vote for any man who is not a Wasbingtonian. Mr. Stewart arose to explain. Mr. McFarland asked if Mr. Stewart was prejudiced bow would they get compensation trom him ifhe is electad. Several persons attempted to speak and some confusion ensued. Mr Kelsey moved te insert the name of Mr. Cbase in place of Mr. Stewart, and remarked that*asthough not now eligible he coulda be made so. Mr. Chace stated that he conld not serve, not being A resident of the ward Mr. J. M. Donnell (white) said that the gen- tleman was not endorsed by any respectable au'bority Mr. Pfau raised the point that the commitcee Was respectable autbority, whatever the gen- tleman might think Mr. Donnell said he wanted men of brains and culture nominated, and would oppose any Man who bud not these qr cations xt the polls. He presented the name of Uapt. J. N. Callan, After some farther deba'e, the name of Mr Stewart was rejected Mr Wm. Rothertord’s name was called,and after he had been endorsed by Rev. B. B.

Mr. Arnold moved to reconsider the vote by which the nomination of Alderman was laid over, which, after some debate, was agreed to, and Mr. Richards’ name again came up for ratification. Mr. Callan stated that he had been out and found by the full listthat Mr. R. had regis- tered. After some further discussion the nomina- tion was ratified Mr. Chase (white) moved the appointment of a committee to make arrangements fora ratificauion meeting in the ward; adopted, and Messrs. W.

Mr. Dudley moved the appointment of a committee of ten to see, in case the registry is reopened, that all Republicans in the ward register: adopted. Mr. J. M.

MEETING OF THE JOURNEYMEN CARPEN- TERS’ ASSOCIATION.—A meeting of the jour- meymen carperters of the District was held Jast evening at Temperance Hall, on E street, for the purpose of reorganizing and the elec- tion of Officers to serve for the ensuing term. The meeting was called to order by Mr. B. L. Nevins, with J. N. Lansdale as secretary. The election of officers. on motion, preceeded with the following result :—Jas. H. Reed, pres- ident: Wm. H. Champion, recording secretary, and J. N. Lansdale, treasurer. The election for the remaining officers (two vice presidents, financial secretary and ser- geant-at-arms) was postponed until the next meeting The Chair informed those who desired to be- eome members that they could doso by paying the sum of fifty cents each to the treasurer, when some twenty to thirty gentlemen came forward and paid their fees. On motion, debate was limited to five min- ute speeches Mr. Nevins offered several amendments to the constitution, one of which was to the effect that no ‘boss’ employing journeymen could become & member of the association, or be pres- ent atany of its meetings, and moved that a commitiee of three be appointed to revise the constitution. Another proposed amendment was that but one apprentice be allowed to three journey- men, and that the term of apprenticeship shall be not less than three years. The Chair appeinted Messrs. Neyin ford and Wason the committee to revis constitution. The subject of anincrease of wages was next introduced, and Mr. Lansdale advocated the propriety of deferring its consideration until the Ist of June next Mr, Champion said his experience taught him that the less aman worked the better the pay, and hoped the discussion of the subject of either an increase of wages or a decrease of hours be postponed until the association was fully organized. The House of Representa- tives had passed & bi!l shortening the hours of labor, and he doubted not but that the Senate would early follow suit. Mr. Stanford said that as the boss¢s never consulted the journeymen about ma’ters con- cerning themselves, he saw uo good reason for journeymen to consnit them, and moved thatthe sense of the meeting be taken on the full discussion of the subject: which motion Was put and carried. Reed said that as every necessary of nereasing daily, be thought the time me when the carpenters should demand an jncrease of wages or a decrease of hours. Mr. Lansdale said he was not anxious for a strike—strikes should be avoided: but it was proper that “posses”’ should havea sufficient knowledge of the demand of the journeymen, that they might contract tor work according- ly. He said the first of June or July was not lar off, and poy that time most of the present contracts would be finished. It was moved and seconded that the con- tractors be informed {Bat the journeymen car- penters demand an increase of pay on the first ot June; which was carried. it was moved that the asseciation holda meeting on every Tuesday and Friday eyen- ings until the Grstof June. Adopted. The Chair stated other associations were fully organiz-d, and had appointed delegates to the Workingmen’s Assembly, which meets weekly at City Hall, and at the next meeting be would suggest the election of delegates to represent the journeymen carpenters in that assembly. After the transaction of other business of no special interest, the association adjourned. — GERMAN RADICAL Lincotw” Otvurn.—a mreting of this club was held at their rooms, on 7th street, last evening.
