Among the prisoners there were more than six hundred Europeens of various nationalities. This disposition does not. how- ever, imply their pardon, but merely permis- sion to reside at such places as they may elect, the general Government reserving the right, berenfter, to determine tinally upon their cases.” General Escobedo telegraphed as follows, frem Queretaro, May 15: To General Diaz: i have just received at this 75; p. m., the re- port which I have the honor to transmit to you. Fort La Cruz was surprised and carried ibis morning at 4 o'clock.

The entire garrison, with all its material of war, has been captured. Max- imiullian Das surrendered at discretion, with generals Castillo and Mejia. Be pleased to communicate the glorious event to all the Gov- ernors within the line of your command, with my most cordial telicitation.” FROM EUROPE.

A Fort Kearney dispatch, dated the 29th in- stant, says the Indian war has fairly begun. Ranches are burned, stock stolen. and settlers murdered daily. Gen. Smith and staff had assed Fort Sedgwick en route for Fort Phil, earney. General Gibbons bad 200 Pawnee scouts with him. Detachments of the 40th, Zib, ang 30th imfantry are encamped on the north side of the Piatte, opposite Fort Sedg« wick. They will leave for Fort Fhil. Kearney in a day or two - Other detachments are sta- tioned at different places along the route. Some of them are guarding the railroad em- Ployees. Troops are also being forwarded to Fort Laramie and Kearney. Gen. Custer is reported to have arrived at Fort McPherson, from the south side, with his cavalry. Ser-, geant Marigun and two citizens were lately killed on Sole Creed, thirty-six miles from Fort Sedgwick. The railroad cutters were also killed near Oheyenne Pass, “Pho Indians line the bluffs on beth sides of the Piatte river. Spetted Tail and a few of hie braves are en- camped at the North Platte.

The meeting wae called to order at half past eignt o'clock by Major Wm. S. Morse, who nowinased for chairman Mr. Sayles J. Bowen, and he was elected. He also proposed the names of the following gentiemen for offcers, and they were elected: First vice presidents, Jobn F. Qooke, Samuel J. Datcher; Second vice presidents, First Ward, ©. A. Stewart, Second Ward, E. Ambush, Henry Piper, D. M. Kelsey; Third Ward. G. W. Renfro, Solo- mon G. Brown, Wm. A Cooke; Fourth Ward, William H. Smith, Ren. Isaac Jones, Return J.

Wells; Sixth Ward, George H. McReynolds, Henry Better, Olarence Barton: Seventh Ward, Rey. An- woe Bowen, George H. Newman, James mall. Mr. Bowen, on taking the chair, returned his thanks for the honor conferred upon him. The candidates were all good men of unim- peachable loyalty and integrity and well Mnown as being worthy of the cenfidence and support of the Republican party. if preteren- ces a8 to candidates existed before the nomi- nations they should ail now be iaid aside, and each one should vie with his neighbor in his efforts to elect the ticke:, boik in the city at large and in the several wards. On Monday next by the combined vote of the Republican party it was expected a radical change in the government of Washington, not only politi- cally, but morally and financially. would be made. Of course our main reliance ison our celorec friends, and we do not doubt their pa- triotism to-day more than we did on the field of battle, When traitors attempted to destroy the Government for the perpetuation ot slavery the colored people, one and all. stood for the right; and there they will stand, notwithstand- ing the efforts of their old oppressors to wheedie or force them into the ranks of Cop- perheads and knavee. The speaker hoped that every man, white and colored, who fa- vored the elevation of the human race, will not only vote on Monday next, but will work with an earnestness and will early and late | the few days left to secure the triumph of the | Republican ticket. bis would insure success in every ward of the city, and be a just rebuke to those who sought by means of mandamnses sand the action of the Vity Ceunciis as well ae through the faleeboods and slanders of an en- vomed and Copperhead press to overawe the judges of election and toturn the tide against tnem. At the conclusion of Mr. Bowen’s speech he was greeted with loud applause. Daring the delivery of his speech be was interrup- ted by the Fifth and Sixth Ward Repub- jican clubs, headed by a tine band of mu- sic, {the clubs bearing transparencies, apon which were inscribed “Free ech, free schools, free bailot, free men:” “Fifth Ward bound to win; «Manhood suffrage,” &c. Major Morse then read & preamble and reso- Ivtions declaring that in the principles of the National Republican party of the United Slates they recognized ail that they eould de- sire asa guide in their political future, and piedged themselves to support the some; and further declaring that they adopted as cardinal points in the policy of the Union Republican party the propositions of equal protection to all men, including the rightto be jurors and bold office. Second A system ot common School education which would give to all Classes, without regard to race or color, free schools and equal participation in all their benefits: and holding it to be their duty to sup- port no man for office who had been justly euspected of disléyalty, or who denies to all a full and perfect equality before the law, or who was opposed to a fair and impartial dis- tributen of labor among all the citizens. and further declaring that the Republican party ot the District of Columbia cherish with un- dying affection the illustrious emancipator, Abraham Lincoln, who fell a martyr to a cause he so honestiy and ably defended. The resolutions were unanimously adepted, amid mach applauee. Hon. J. J. Steward, of Md., was then intro- duced, and said although the coming election was foriocal offices merely, he agreed with the Intelligencer im regarding it as a contest between radicaiism and conservatism. In this view itis of national importance. It would Ordinarily make but little difference what might be the politics of the tax collector or town councilmen. A Democrat or Conserva- uve rue as wellasa Bapuplican toap- propri oney for municipal improvements, and provide sanitary reguiations for the health of the community: although it must be confessed that experience makes the latter a rather violent presumption. here was now, however, something more importintthan chol- era preventives and street openings to discuss. ‘hile Mr. Stewart was speaking, the First Second, Third, and Fourth Wards came in, headed by bands of music, and bearing trans. parenciee—“‘Economy and Reform;” “The votee of the people is the voice of God;” Jus- tee and Freedom;” “In God we trust;” “Protection toevery American citizen;” “First Ward, 1,700 stron, ‘All the werld shall know that we are men;” “We fought right and we'll vote right;” ‘“‘By our merits, and by our merits alone, we hope to gain the tavor af all good men; «With malice toward none—with charity to all.””. The Colored Sailors’ and Sol- diers’ League, headed by the Mozart Band, (a fine body of men,) made theirappearance, and were loudly cheered. bearing a banner, ‘‘Col- ored Soldiers’ and Sailors’ League, organized July 4, 1866. ++ Nobis libertag ense,”” with inscription on the reverse side: ‘Peters- burg,” -‘Fort Wagner,” “Mulliken’s Bend,” “Port Hudeon, Wilson’s Ureek,” “Sugar- loaf Mountain,” Richmond,” “New Market Heights. Order being restored, the speaker said he aw a long line approaching, of what the President of the Board of Aldermen called gorillas. The black men had souls. He did no: Know that gorillas had souls, if they had, Arica was yet full of Democratic sonis. In conclusion, Mr. Stewart reterred to tae recent opinion: ofthe Attorney General upon the military reconstruction acts with the yeto messagee’upon the same two months 3go, and showéd how utterly they contradicted each other. particularly asking what confidence could be repesed in men who interpreted law to suit their purposes. 7d. M, Ashley, of Ohio, was the next epeaKer. He said it gave him great pleasure to meet so man: jicans.

When you exercise this trust, do s0 as becomes & sober man. Gosoberand in a proper manner, as you would take your bride to the altar. be- cause itis your ballot, and be sure that you deposit it for the man ef your nomination. On Monday they should look out for frauds and Surreptitioustickets. Get the right ticket and vote it. hey should beware of those evil spirits who propbesied that if slavery was abolished there would be riots and bloodshed. Give the lie to that. They said if you were enfranchised in the Districtof Columbia there Would be trouble. Give the lie to that, too. G.ve them an example of a quiet and orderly eleetion, something seldom Knewn in Wash- ington, The Copperheads wonld be tickled to ageath all over the United States if there shouid beariot in the city of Washington. They would sound itin ail manner ef tones and ring more changes than these bands can on their instruments. The speech of General Barnewortb wasa very forcible one, and lis-* ened to with marked attention. The next speaker wasGeneral John Vickers, of New Jersey. Ne said in August next they intended to give the colored men m his State the ballot. The retease of Jeff. Davis'was an insult to half a million of colored and white dead soldiers. After sinking $3,000,000, and killing large numbers of men, he was allowed to go free. If traitors never will be hung be- cause of legal technicalities, they sbould put & clanse in the Constitution providing that there be no legal technicalities in cases of trea- son. Mr. John B. (+ivens (colored) was next in- troduced and delivered an able avd eloquent address. He said he thanked God that he could look upon and talk tosuch gentlemen as those present, irrespectiveotcolor. Allthe palaces of the North and South, al! the wealth of the Government, all their smart men were made by the blood and labor of the black peo- ple, and the statement of Mr. Tom Lieyd was not true—that they had supported the negroes for thirty-six years pest. They should let the copperbead party go, they was willing to tell them thatthey had crossed the gult of sla- very and were onthe shores of liberty. He would say all honorto the white and black soldiers, Mr. J. M. Langston, (colored,) of Ohio, was the next speaker, and spoke for sume time, beivg frequently interrupted by applause. He urged his hearers to vote the entire ticket on Monday, and discharge their duties to the Re- publican party like men; and the time was not far off when a colored man could come to the American Congress. Mr. John R. Elvans was introduced and made some forcible and pertinent remarks. He referred to the principle invoived in the coming election. It was not our province to denounce the present incumbents of city offices for the mere sake of denunciation. Granting, for argument’s sake, that all the candidates on the opposition ticket are equally competent with—nay, more, ure better qualified for the positions than our own candidates, it is nev- ertheless the duty of the people of Washington te elect our nominees, because they represent an element in accord with the Congress which governs and controls surinterests. If we want large appropriations for our public schools, can we bring Congress to onr assistance by electing men known to be in opposition to their every act! If we want help to relieve us from the pressure of non-taxable public property, can we or can our opponents best persnade Congress to grant us & certain sum in leu of taxes for the improvement of our city? Mr. Slvans spoke at some length in this connec- tion, and was listened to with much attention. AT THE EAST PORTICO. The branch meeting on ihe east portico was presided over by Samuel J. Datcher, and R. Hi. Brocken as vice president. Addresses were made by John T. Johnson, Jas. Trimble. of Tenn., Rev. Wm. H. Hunter, George W. Hatton. Mr. Littlefield, and Dr. A. P. Fardon.

Bos- well.” The Mozart Brass Band was stationed on this portico, and performed many fine pieces cf music. THE WEST STAND. At the west stand the meeting was called to order by Mr. L. E. Dudley, and John F. Cook, Esq.. was chosen president, and Col. Brambe was introduced, who made @ short spe which was received with applause. F. A. Boswell, Esq., the candidate for Regis- ter, was the nexi speaker, and he delivered a very able address. He was sure of the success of the Republican ticket, as the Republican party was carrying the banner of freedom before them. Addresses were also made from this stand by Gen. Pierce, of Cal.; D. M. Kelsey, Esq.; Capt. Ward, of Ohio; Wm. Boston, of the Third Ward; H.H. Tilley, of the First Ward: L. E. Dudley, of the Second Ward; and Mr. Littlefield.

By our honesty and industry we must thrive.” King’s Band, of Georgetown, was stationed on this platform. Letters were read from the main stand from Mr. A.G. Halland C. H. Bliss, which were received with great applause. About half-past 12 o'clock the meeting ad- jourmed, and the various ward clubs azain formed in lines and marched to their respec- tive wards. Order and harmony prevailed and no drun- Ken men were about. An ample police force, under Capt. Reed and Lieut.Eckloff, was pre- sent during the evening. The meeting wasa very successtul affair, and was one of the largest ever witnessed in this city. Mass MeExtine or THIRTY-FIVE DEMo- CBATS AND CONSERVATIVES.—Last night, a mass meeting of the Democrats and Consery- tives of the city was held at Woodward’s HaH, agreeably to the call of the executive committee. The hall filled up very slowly; at 5.15, when the meetang was called to order. there being but35 present, butin the course of an honr the number was increased to some extent. Mr. George Savage was called to the chair, ontsking which he said his remarks at the previous meeting had been misrepresented by the Chronicle, which was aptly named, that paper having & chronic disease for lying. They were bere peculiarly situated, und he remarked that he wasa taxpayer to the gov- ernment and eity last year to about $1,200. and yet heonly Mad an equal right as to the fran- chise with the barbarous, unlettered negroes, who bave no interest in the government of the city. The corporation was @ partnership in which the properly holders held stock, and yet tere was.a parcel of individuals who un- til 1,400 years ago were Ror recog ized as hav- ing souls bad an equa] voice wi those who own the property and were interested. This was not right, and the thought of it some- times made him indignant. It was the duty ef all to register and to vote. and he did not care how big was the crowd of negroes, he would vote on Monday. They should assert their rights for they had equal rights with the Begroes, and these ignorant people should not ‘Tule. _ Mr. Geo. Dubant was chosen secretary. *. Mr. Ohas.

The citizens as property holders pons. on Monday next, say to these people ‘hat they could not vote away their property.

He had thought that the Bacon was sound, but it was musty. and as turned Ssyles J. Bowen’s weather-cock, so turned George Plant.

Pars tee vince THE Comine ELaction— Mejor Rickards’ Order for the Preservation of ike Peace —Major Richards has te-day promulgated the fellew- ing excellent order, directed to the lieutenants of the several police precincts. There is very little if any apprehension of difficulty on election heb but it will be seen that every precaution has been taken to prevent ine very earance of disorder: EPARTMENT OF METROPOLITAN POLice, OFFICE OF SUPERINTENDENT, WasHINGTON, May 31, 1867.—Generci Order, No. 134-—Liea tenant: The annual election of municipal officers for the city of Washington takes piace on Monday next, the 3d proximo. The Superintendent is determined to leave nothing undone that will tend to insure order and protect all voters in the exercise of their rights as citizens on that occasion; ana with this object in view, you will observe and cause to be observed the following rules. viz: ist. No member of ths ferce must take any partin the election turther than te deposit his vote: and any member found distributing tickets, soliciting votes for any candidate, or deing any other act indicating a bias toward one or other of the parties to the election con- test which may have any tendency to influence the result, will be treated as having violated the rnles and regulations. 2d. When the receivers of votes sha}) Rave given th ir decision in any case, that decis ’ sc faras the police are concerned, is final, and they will take immediate care thar no ob- stacle is offered toother persons des yote. Whena citizen has deposited h or it has been dec t A yolw, the police officerwill require him to move on, and no bickering or quar! the polling places must be for an instant rated. Tne receivers of votes mustinal be protected from insult. ap 3d. The line of voters will be kept always free from obstructions, and any at ot te break the ime will be met at any hazard by the prompt arrest of the party or parties making the attempt. ith. Drunker and disorderly persor be promptly taken to the station house. 5th. Persons having concealed weapons piuat be arrested and dealt with according to aw. - You will immediately report any ont- break to headquarters 7th. The men placed on reserve mm main in the siation house ready for duty any absence therefrom without an orde permission to leave, will be reported asa lation of duty. ~th. No threats, taunts, jeers or imsuits w !? be tolerated fo: amoment towards any voter, and persons guilty of such conduct mus: be immediately arrested %bh. Your attention is specially called to section 3 ofan act entitled “An act to reculate the elective franchis in the District of Colum- bia,’ which reads as follows, viz: “And be itfurther enacted, Thatif any pere son or persons shell wilfnlly interrup! or disturb any such elector in the exercise of such franchise, he or they shall be deemed guilty of @ misdemeanor,and on conviction thereof shall be finedin any sum not to ex- ceed ope thousand dollars, or be imprisoned in the jail in said District for a period no: to exceed thirty days, or both,-at the discretion o1 the court.” Persons who“‘nterrupt or disturb any elec- tor’ by challengimg his vote at the polis, if they sball persist in so doing, you wil! arrest as having violated the provisions of the above-named section. itis deemed hardly necessary to remind of- ficers that itis their duty to be polite, cool, and prompt, te forbear as long as the circum- stances of the case will warrant, and then to act in such a way as to demonstrate that they are neither trifling themselves nor to be trified with. Under ordinary circumstances, an electien day requires special vigilance and activity om the part of police officers, but on the approach- ing election in the city of Washington, a large number of newly-enfranchised persons,against whose exercise of the elective franchise strong prejudice and opposition exist in the synds ot many, will demand of you and the officers of your command the exercise of the utmost Wwatcbfulness. tact. and discretion. You will remind the efficers of your command that che same authority that created the torce of which they are members bas aiso made it their duty to see that allthe laws of Congre eable tothe local aftsirs of the duly enforced. Any officer who cannot discharge this duty determinedly and with alacrity, without carp- ing, or the use of acrimonious lang: e, shouid immediately resign his office. Manifestations of defection by police officers will tend to cre- ate distrust inthe community, and perhaps violent demonstrations on the part of the al- ready disaffected. The entire force will be so atranged and de- tailed that it can be concentrated at any point in a few minutes, should events require it. The Superintendent wonld remind you that not only will the eyes of this community be upon you on Monday wext, bnt. the whole country will mote your mapner of exercising the trust reposed in you. * Discard all prejudices and predilections on that day, being mindful only of your. duty, and yot shall‘win the esteem of all lovers of law and order. ‘A.
