Baker, vice president, in the chair. The committee appointed to canvass one of the blocks reported several names of persons The report was adopted, and referred to the campaign com- who had not been registered. mittee. The Chair announced the receipt of a com- munication from & committee to the effect that acertain colored man had professed Demo- cratic principles. (Cries of “Read it!’ «Let us know our friends,” &c.} A member moved that it be read, and another moved to lay the motion on the table, on the ground that personal matters should not be brought into the meeting. The motion that it be read was finally carried. The communication s‘ated that one Oberlin Johnson, a colored man, had said that he would not vote the Republican ticket, and that he had always been a Democrat. {Cries of “Trritor to bis race!” “An enemy!’ “De- mnounce him!" &c., were heard.| The communication was laid on the table. Mr. John F. Cook announced that the cam- paign committee ef the ward had passed a resolution asking the ward clubs to appoint a committee of three from eaeh club to attend the polls during the registration on Thursday and Friday next. He believed that this was necessary, as the Democrats might run ina number of men from Baltimore on those auys, have them registered, and provide for their stayin this city until after the election, thus securing a large number of fraudulent votes A member moved the appointment ot a com- mittee of three to obtain a list of those persons not registered, and to attend the polls on the days of registration: curried. The report of the campaign committee was then read. It recommends, committers appoinied at the polls. The report was taken up by secitons and adopted. the polls of the ceve: pointed: — First Precine Syphax, Geo. Smith. ( riel Goings, and John Brent, jr. Second Precinct—Mesers. Charles Twine, Thomas Wright, Sandy Lacey, and Sandy Hendersou. Third Precinct— Messrs. Jozepm Jackson, Gabriel Coakley, Richard Simms, and James Jackson. Fourth Precinct—Messrs. George Brown, Tuomas Martin, William Orr, and George Garrett — Mesers. The committee to obtain uckets consists of Messrs. C. A. Stewart, Osceola Jones. Corne- lius Clark, William A. Freeman, and Isaiab Boulden. Mr. John F. Cook made an appeal to the yoters to stand firm at the ensuing election. On motion of Mr. Sloan, Mr. Syphax was called upon to give a statement of an inte-view with Dr. Magruder, the Democratic nominee for Alderman for the ward, and others. Mr. Syphax said that in the interview which be would refer to he acted as an individual, and not asa member of acommittee. On the 6th of May he visited the residence of Mr. C. A. Stewart,and while there Dr. Magruder, Messrs. Henderson and McAlister, lawyers, arrived. Beside Mr. Syphax, Messrs Stewart and Watson were present. The visitors ex- pressed their pleasure at meeting Mr. Syphax and his friendx, and stated that they under- stood that & nominating committee was to meet that evening, and that they came up to have Dr. Magruder nominated. Mr. Syphax replied that he would doso with pleasure, but that the colored men would do as white men did—support their friends. Mr. Syphax further stated that if the Re- publicans found any old residenta who were their friends, they would not forget them: but in any case they intenaed to select gentlemen of unquestionable integrity, even if they were but new residents. The colored people did not bear any enmity toward the opposite party, but were desirous of living on terms of friend- ship with all. Mr. McAllister replied that he heard such expressions with pleasure, and said that Mr. Magruder had been a friend of the colored men for many years, and that his nomination wouid give general satisfaction to the pro- perty-holders, many of whom recommended Bim. Mr. Syphax said to Mr. Magruder, who was sitting by his side, that the Republicans would select a good man, and if a man favor- able to the property-holders and at the same time atrue friend of the Republiean purty was presented they would pominate him. One ofthe party stated that Dr. Magruder had been atriend when Mayor of the city, and had given passes and extended favors of dif- ferent Kinds to the colored people. Mr. Sy- psx replied that if the committee nominated r. Magruder and reported the nomination to the meeting for ratification, the committee might be asked the question: ‘What does his official record show that he has done for the advancement, or even justice being done the colored peopie?’’ Mr. Syphax desired to know ‘‘How shal] we answer that question?” To this poser the visitors gave no reply. Some further conversation ensued, when Dr. Ma- ‘uder said that he had not gone to any of the publican meetings, for the reason that the Republicans would say that he was going among them for their yotes. Mr. Syphax re- plied .hat they would have been glad to have seen him at any time. Mr. Magruder said that he would wait until the ward Republican nominations were made, and that he would then go among the ‘colored people. Messrs. Syphax, Stewart, and Watson replied that they would be pleased to see him or any of his friends at any time, Mr. Syphax saying, «Be assured, gentlemen, in our conduct hereafter and in our selection of candidates we shall select good Republicans, gentlemen of integ- rity,j to whom no reasonable man can ob- ject." Mr. Syphax suggested to Mr. Stewart and Mr. Watson, who were present during the entire interview, that there was no necessity of making it public. It, however. eventually leaked out, and Mr. Syphax, therefore, deemed it right that the citizens of the ward should know all the facts in the matter. Had the clab not called upon him for the statemeni he would not have made it public, as he considered ita private interview. The party separated en the most friendly terms, On motion, the whole subject was referred to the campaign committee. Messrs. Joseph Jackson, Ignatius Bond, Geo Gerrett. Neal Olark, Thomas Cross, and ‘Wm. H. A. Wormley were appointed to attend to the registration at the City Hall. _—— Tus Fourta WaxkD REPUBLICAN CLUB met Jast night ae Dr. Houldin’s church, eor- ner of ith aa L streets. Gen.

Mr. Crossman (white) was ready to take the ticket and vote for it as it stood, put he was for nominating a colored man because be was a colored man. He looked upon it as a matter of justice Dr. Bouldin (colored) followed in favor of & colored nominee, upon the ground of the ca- pability as well as the right of the colored man to occupy Any position to which they might be elected. Mr. Hatton (colored) contenaed for the right of colored men to fill positions, and their ca- pability of performing ail tue duties required of them A question of order was raised, and Mr. Hatton took bis seat.

Mr. Brown (white) meved to reconsider the vote by which the club decided not to nomi- nace a colored candidate; which was agreed to. Mr. Smith (colored) raised the point of order whether the question acted apon was in order, when the question pending was the adoption of the report. It was decided that the point was raised too late. Mr. West declined the nomination. Mr. Brown meved to strike out the name of W. J. Redstrake and insert the name of Geo. Hatton, colored. By invitation Mr. kelsey explained the legal qualifications of members of tne Council, and showed that the law d-bars the colored man from holding that position The question was .urther discussed by Mr. Brown, Major Tolten, and Mr. Donegan. The motion to strike out the name of W. J. Redstrake and insert George W. Hatton (col- ored) was agreed to by 4 large mien. On the nomination for Assessor, W. J.

Mr. Hatton thanked the club for the nomina- tion, but he was of opinion that he was not qualified as to property, and it is the duty of tue clab to nominate some one in his place.

Firta Warp Rercstican CLUB —A meet- ing of the Fifth Ward Kepublican Club was held last evening at Israel Church, Capitol Hill, the President, A. R. Aireson, (white,) in the chair, and A. P. Clarke (white) secretary. Rey. Mr. Hunter was requested to open the Meeting with prayer. Before offering prayer he said he had no doubt the Repoolican party would succeed becanse they always invoked the blessing of God before opening the meet- ings. The Chair said Mr. C. 1H. Biiss was present and would address the meeting. If the Re- Publicans made a rood buul next Monday they would Boss-well the interests of this city, and that would lead them iato the realms of Bliss. Mr. Bliss then addressed the Association, re- turning Kis thanks for the honor couferred upon Bim, and promising to do all in his pow- er, if elected, to do justice to them. Mr. J. Sayles Brown was next introduced, and urged ail those in office to be registered and yote in this city, asthat would notdeprive them of their rignt to vote in their States. There were men in the Capitol who were put there and kept there by good Radicals. lf they did not get registered and yote he would tei] Congress about them. Mr. F. A. Boswell, the candidate for Regis- ter, was introduced. and said there was no question about the success of the Republican ticket if the Republican voters would stand as a unit: some of their opponents would not get in the ranks and vote with colored men, and in some of the wards it was proposed to have the Republican voters at the polis early, and as there were enough in some precincts to keep the receivers busy a greater portion of the day many of their Demoeratic friends would not bave a chance to vote, because they would not stand up with colored men Rev. Mr. Hunter and Mr. John Trimball, of Tennessee, also delivered addresses. Mr. Slater offered a resolution, which was adopted, declaring that the citizens of the Fifth Ward had explicit comtidence in the nominees on the ward and general ticket, and would do allin their power to secure their election, as itwas known they would advance the true principles of Republicanism to equalize the ‘work and establish free schools that all mizht have a liberal education and no distinction pe made on account of color After some unimportant business the meet- ing adjourned. —_.—_____ SEVENTH Warp REPcuBLIcaAN MeETING.— A mass meeting of the Republicans in the Seventh Ward was held in Sixth-street Churen, between G and H, la-t evening. Rev. W. H. Lee (colored) in the chair, and Mr. Fred. Meyer (white) secretary Dr. Boyd (white) asked leave to give some information in regard to the meeting. Rey. Anthony Bowen (colored) hoped, as it ‘was understood there was a meeting at Fred. ericksburg Church, that this meeting woulé at_once adjourn. Mr. Fred. Meyer said in relation to adjourn- ment, that there were gemtiemen present who could give the meeting all the information necessary in regard to the voting precincts. The mouon for adjournment was lost. On motion of Dr. Boyd, it was agreed that when the meeting adjourned it be to meet again on Friday evening next. Speeches were then made by Rev. A. Bow- en, Mr. Wilhams and Dr. Boyd in relation to the voting precincts, &c., after which Rev. A. Bowen offered resolutions repealing certain resolutions offeredin the 7th ward Republican Mass meeting by Mr. A. W. Watson reflecting censure upon ‘Hon. S. J. Bowen, one of the truest and tried friends of the colored people of the Districtand a Republican ofthe purest stamp” who -‘hasdone more than any other single individual to procure for usjthe bene- fit ofthe public school fund for the education of our children;’’ also repudiating such cen- sure. Dr. Boyd moved to lay the repealing resoln- tions over until Friday right, so asto give Mr. Watson a chance of speaking on them; agreed to. Rev. A. Bowen said he was a Republican for forty years right in this very place, and had the iriends of the colored'man marked down. He did not think it right to refiect cen- sure on a man like S. J. Bowen. Mr. F. Meyer described an interview he had with Mr. Bowen in 1563 or 1864,when that gen- tleman refused to give him a position saying “I have no work fer a McClellan man in this Post Office.” Mr. Meyer was therefore satis- fied that Mr. S. J. Bowen was a Radical three or four years ago, and moved to reconsider the vote by which the resolution were laid over; agreed to. On motion of Rey. A. Bowen,the resolutions were then adopted, and the meeting ad- journed. ———_++e-+____ FROM EUROPE.
