L. Bramhall, (white,) the vice president, in the chair, and Edward Ambush, (colored,) secre’ '. Mr. Duaiey hoped the club was not tied up in this executive committee. Some of the “members of it had never taken an active part with the club since its organization. The Chair decided the only way to reor- ganize the committee would be to amend the constitution. Mr. Dudley gave notice that he would move to amend the constitution at,the next meeting, 80 as to make the executive committee consist of five members instead of fifteen. Mr. D. M. Kelsey (white) inquired it it was intended that a new committee should be elected at that time. The Chair replied in the affirmative. Mr. W. H. Obase, (white,) from the com- mittee to make arrangements for a ratification meeting, Tepered that a ratification meeting would be held on Monday evening next, on the vacant lot on K street, opposite Franklin Square. Astand would be erected and Heald’s band engaged for the occasion. . On motion of Mr. Kelsey, the committee was authorized to make all arrangements for the meeting. The Chair suggested that a course be fixed upon to secure subscriptions. Mr. G. M. Arnold (colored) said it was: ai- Ways understood that candidates would wre up” on snch an occasion. [Laugh- ter. The secretary stated a subscription list had been opened and some money received. On wotion of Mr. Dudley. the first vice president, treasurer and secretary were au- thorized to uct as a committee to receive sub- scriptions. Major Hall said he nnderstood that the pres- ent Board of Common Council had fixed the salary of the next board at five dollars per an- hum. [Major Hall has been terribly hoaxed by somebody.—Kep.} This preved that they were sure of vacating their seats after the June election. Mr. Pfau (white) suggested that the com- mittee call on Jay Cooke, W.S. Huntington, Sykes & Chadwick. [A voice.—And Horace Greeley.) These gentlemen profess to be Republicans, and no doubt would contribute to the cause. Mr. Dudley modified his resolution so that the vice president, secretary and treasurer be & permanent committee on finance to collect tunds fer the campaign: and {t was adopted. Mr. D. M. Kelsey inquired if the action of the City Councils relative to dividing the wards into bydoe fae instead of two, as heretofore, would be regarded as legal and operative The question arese whether, in view of the registration having been made under the old arrangement and the new pre- cincts made since, it would not interfere with the registey, and operate against it. Lt would be impossible to hold the election in these pre. cincts unless they could <ecure the original wannuscript register. Mr. Dudley said he bad a conversation with the Secretary of the Board of Registration, who informed him that the action of the Coun- cils would not be regarded by the Board of Registers; but they would endeavor to have the Court appoint additional judges of elec- tion, who would receive the votes at the win- dows in the same building, dividing the list about the middle of the alphabet. The regis- ter did not show upon which side of a street 4& Man resided, and some confusion would be caused by the streets that divided the precinets. The Kegisters wereof the opinion that the Board of Aldermen and Common Council had nothing todo with them. The whole thing was in the hands of the Court under the lnw The Chair said Mr. Bowen, one of the Com- Missioners, had told him about the same as stated by Mr. Dudley. 1t was asked if the registration books would be opened again. One member said he had the names ofone hundred and fifty persons who had not been registered. Mr. Pfau ibought at least 500 names could be registered if the books were re-opened. The Chair stated that in accordance with the inetructions of the club the delegation to the nommating convention had presented a Tesolution, which was adopted, requesting the convention '@ recommend to the various ward clabs the election of a committee of five to constitute 9 central executive committee. On motion, the club proceeaed te elect such committee, and the following named gentle- Men were chosen: W. H. Chase (white), Casper Keller (white), Major H. A. Hall white), Sidney McFarland (colored), and ‘obn W. Curry (colored). Mr, J. W. Curry (colored) offered a reso- lution requesting euch of the candidates as are willing to. contribute tor the success of the party to place their contributions in the hands of the chairman of the finance committee, the |, same to be used at the discretion of that com- mittee, for that specific object. . Major Hall wasin favor as the resolution, and hoped it would adoped. This idea of going to candidates a ting money frem them to carry on the election should néver be introduced ia the Republican party. Mr. Pfau stated as one of the nominees he had net been called upon. Mr. Laten said it had been charged by some that the committee was paid to put Mr; Ruth- erford’s name on the ticket. He heped such ‘was not the case. Mr. Piper said he beard that a gentleman was called upon and requ to give money and he wonld be nominated. He had called upon thatgentleman and ascertained that the whole thing was false. He had paid no one to noiitpate’bim. No one hadreceived money for such purposes. After some discussion, Mr. Pian offered as |a substitute that only the committee as appointed by the meeting be Sie i i cee MoRreold offered a series.of reeo- lations ‘ ‘oF th sq cacfebety 11) aa from trymen. nt f % aha ee gla Wereeaea lage ,gud Uomptrolter’s office: the principles of truth and justice The second pledges that they will stand by and support the platform of the Republican party. The third provides that no man will be supported for of ce who does notopenly identify himself with the party. The fourth declares any candidate for office whose record proves con- clusively that be was in favor of the total ab- Olition of slavery and favors the education of classes, is entitled to our votes. The fifth de- clares that they will endeavor to place men in office whose fitness for the same will give gen- eral satisfaction. The sixth, that we will con- tinue to use all means to inculcate a proper Ae gree of the knowledge of art, science, and literature, and to1mbne ourselves und our children with a proper appreciation of the sense of the value of industry, economy, fru- gality, energy, and sobriety. The seventh in- Vites into the ranks all men whose loyalty is clear and. above suspicion. and who believe that all men are created tree and equal.

For- tunately one of the hackmen, & married m:n, named Smith, took compassion upon them, and they toid him they were looking for their uncle, a ropemaker, and that they came from Baltimere. Mr. Smith took them in his hack to look for their relative, bat failed to find him,andas they had no money to secure lodgings at arespectable bouse, he took them to hisown home, where they were providea for by his family. Saturday morning they were taken to the police headquarters by Mr. Smith, that means might be provided to send them home. They represented themselves as sisters, by the name of Brown; gave their resi- dence in Baltimore, but were somewhat star- ued when told that a dispatch would be sent to their father. A dispatch was sent, and the Teply was that no one of that name lived wherestated. They were permitted to leaye the headquarters upon the receipt of that answer. They wandered about the streets all day, and toward night were found by detec- tive Coomes in the Capitol (srounds. He again interrogated them abont their business here and their residence in Baitimore. They ‘were apparently distressed, and told the ae- tective that they had told stories at headquar- ters to Avoid exposure, and were sorry for it. That their real names were Elizabeth and Mary Hays, andthey reside at 125 Enger st., Baltimore: that they came to Washington, one to meet and marry & young man named Albert Cromwell: the other to be at the wedding, but they failed to meet at the train as arranged, and hence all their trouble. The latter story was believed to be true, as their circumstances seemed to confirm it, and detective Goomes took them to the railroad depot, and an em- ployee of the road joined him in the purchase of tickets for them, and they were sent off in the 5:45 train, jeyful over their safe return, but sorely grieved by their disappointment. oo ORPHANS’ CouRgt, Judge Purcell.—On Sat- urday, the will of Charles Keenan, of Wash- ington, D.

ANOTHER DIAMOND THigr.—Saturday, a despatch was received at the police headquar- ters, Irom Richmond, notifying the Detectives here of the robbery of the Exchange Hotel, in Richmond, Va., and describing the man who wassuspected and had left that city. The successinl detectives, Clarvoe & MeDe vite immediately laid out to catch the fugitive, and yoerey morning the agent ofthe Potomac Fredericksburg railroad, Mr, Gill seeing, a person who answered the déscription, who had just arrived on the steamer entera street car entered with him and kept his trail until he met policeman Skinner, of the 7th ward, to whom he stated the case, and policeman Skin- ner promptly arrested the @igitive and turned him over te Detectives Olarvyoe & McDevitt. He was taken to the police headqaarters, where he hada hearing before Justice Tucker. He gave his name as Thos. W. Russel, but is entitied to the aliases of Thos. Mason, and of Seymour. The search and examination al- though condueted by McDevitt while Ularvoe watched every movement elicited nothing more than an admission that he was in Rich- mond at the Exchange at the time stated: was there three days, and his excuse for leaving was his inability to pay ex; which was consideredlame, when $96.62 were found on him. He consented to leave with Detective McDevitt for Richmoud, and will leave to- day, without waiting for arequisition. ‘Major Richards and Detectives Ularyoe & McDevitt Tecegnized him as a man once caught for rob- bery in Richmoad.

Man KILLED.—We mentioned Saturday the death of Mr. Sheridan of Alexandria. The affray in which he lost his life occurred at Harrisouburg—not Staunton. The Rocking- bam Kegister aye “A numberof wagons be- longing to the U.S. burial corps encamped near Harrleonbnrg on Tuesday evening, the 14th. After nightfall, some of the teamsters came into town, and indulged pretty freely in liquor. Several citizens of the county, who were also under the influence ofardent spirits, met with them, and in the coufse of the asso- ciation harsh words passed, and a row en- sued. Not one seemed to be able to give a satisfactory account of the commencement or progress of the row, but the resuit wis, one teamster was badly stabbed’ in the side, im- plicating the Inng, and one of the citizens considerably bruised, and cut in the hip. The teamster who was ‘stabbed, died from the wound. His name was Frank Sheridan. He was fpom Alexandria, Va.,and was attached to the U.S. Burial Corps, under command of Major Camp.” Seg ScHoot ExaMinaTIon.—The pupis of the colored school atthe corner of and 17th street west, on Friday last, were publicly ex- amined in their different stadies by their teacher, Miss Mann. This school is the result ot Mise Mann’s own energy. By the aid of a few friends in New England she built her own school-house and furnished it—a plain struc- ture, but fitted up ina manner at once neatand commodious. it was opened about a yearand a balf since with few pupils and no very flat- tering prospects of success: but she has perse- vered in her noble enterprise, till her school now numbers about thirty pupils, and has no superior among the colored schools Sf the Dis- trict. The pupils areof various ages—trom six yon up to manbood—and nearly all began wi'h the very elements of knowledge. it is surprising to witness the progress they have made insoshot atime. The exercises of the examination consisted in reading, spelling. geography, arithmetic and physiology, and revealed those methods of instruction which spoke for themselves as the most efficient that have hitherto been discovered. —_o—___—.
