Election of Officers—Dr. Boyd President—His Inouguralahe Colored School Rider on the Public School Appropriation Bili—More Riders to be put on Pending Bills. Last night, the regular weekly meeting ef the Seventh Ward Kadical Republican Asso- ciation was held at Dyson's Hall, on E street south, bear 44 street,and about § o’cloek it was called to order. There were present at the commencement probably fifty person: which number before adjournment increased to about 100 persons, fally seven-eignihs being colored. The following whites were present :-— Dr. Wm. Boyd, Counclimen Knight and. S. Baker, Reuben Bacon, C. F. Barnes, Mr. Har- low, A. Watson, and one or two others Dr Boyd, who presided st the previous meeting, called the meeting to order, aud sta’ed that at the previous meeting 1t was d3termined to orgapize an associaticn, and they expected t & constitution, with by-laws, would ba reported, and that @ real live radical party would be organized on the Island. There was no secretary present, and he asked for nomi- nations for ihat office Wm. Wilkinsoi, colored, was nominated and elected secretary, but declined. Mr. S. S. Baker, white, was thereupon elect- ed and mounted the plattorm, on which there was but one chair, which was occupied by the president; therefore a friendly trussle was placed in requisition for the secretary. Mr. F. A. Boswell (City Register) reported from the committee appointed previously, a constitution and by-laws, which, after being read, were, on inotion of Fielder Carroll, col- ored, adopted j Lhe Preamble to the constitution is as fol- ows We, tne Radical Republican citizens of the Seventh Ward of the city of Washington, in the District of Columbia, do hereby deciare the foflowing principles:—1. To prever through ail coming time, the unity of the Uni- ed States from disintegration aid decay. 2. ‘To secure to posterity the birth-right of free- dom of conscience, speech and action. afford to people of ail nations an asylum—a refoge from tyranny, oppression and political | rong. 4. To perpetuate the memory of the | nmortal founders of this great republic and | t their worthy successors. 5. To teach, by nur actions, those principles declared im the Jeclaration of Independence of the United States—that all mea are free and equal, with- out regard to race, color or condition.’ 6. To perpetuate and extend the principles of the Republican party, in the District of Columbia nd tbroughont ihe country. The Cbair anneunced that the election of Micers was in order: president first. Messre. F. A. Boswell and Dr. Wm. Boyd were nominated. Mr. Boswell asked to decline, stating thathe was sutisfied that he would be of more use out of the chair than in. Dr. Royd.—I heard a motion by some one. What was it? Counciiman Knight (rising).—I: has been moved that Dr. Wm. Boyd be the president. All in favor of the motion will say “aye.” A unanimous “aye” was given. The Chair —“That ts not fair, the yote must * by ballot. Mr. A. Wateon (white) moved that the elec- tion be had viva voice, Wich Was agreed to. The Secretary put the question on Dr. Boyd’s acmination, and it was adopted. Dr. Boyd said that che election had taken by surprise, and he did not think that it was fair to have things cut and dried, as it seemed they bad. He would have mach pre- ferred that some other person had been elect- ec—one of more ability and brains, if possibie. He would say, that baving been elected, ne would do his duty, even if it required him to get up with bis shirt in bis nand and ran five miles, without either putting it on or off, or would get up and get with the baby on’ his shirt-tail, and ran twelve miles if required. (To the reporters) I hope you wont say any- thing about that Mr. Boswell was nominated as first Vice President, butdeclined in iavor of Arthar Punonell, colored, who was elected. Robert Ousley (colored) nominated S. S. Ba- ker (White) tor second Vice President, and he elected. Mr. A. Watson (white) nominated J. L.N. Bowen (colored) as Recording Secretary, and he was elected. Mr. Reuben Bacon (white) was nominated 1s Financial Secretary. but declined. Mr. A. Punniil (colored) nominated Mr. A. Watson, (white.) and he was elected. Jonn Fitzhugh (colored) was elected ‘Treasure! Mr.S.S. Baker moved that the Chair appeint an Executive Committee. Dir. Watson moved that the Chair be in- structed to select names for that committee, and submit them at the next meeting: which was agreed to. Br. R. Bacon suggested that the Secretary ‘procure the necessary books, and each mem- ber come prepared to pay his tee of 25 cents at the next meeting night, to grease the wheeis of the treasury: agreed to. The President suggested that the expenses of hall, &c.. should be provided for. Mr. Boswell said that the hall was indebted to him $25, and that the matter of rent could be arranged without any immediate action. Mr. A. Watson said that he would like to see the Association take some action in reference to the proceed'ngs of the City Councils, and thought It woula be no harm to repeat the dose resolutions) of last meeting. He was sure that the amendment to the school bill, reported by the Committee ox Schoels, would be lost, but the Counciis should be informed ef their ac- tion. Their friends were of the opinion that the Association should act. Lt waza fact that in the Bozrd of Aldermen a tew nights ago men elected by the Republican party acted against the interests of the pcopie who elected them by urg:ng the paseage of the school bill without including the amount doe the trustees of colored scbool3. If to act in this manner is Republicavism he did not know what itis. If 40 is gratitude to the people who elevated them to their positions he did not know what grati- tude is. Had it come to this. that Republicans after election must turn around and yote against the party, and not only vote against the party but advocate the cause of their ene- mies. They should be held up as false prophets. Is it possible that those we have “elected to office, from the President down, a1 ail to go back on their friends. 1t seemed him that it was the rule for Republicans to go back on their party They might call the at- tention of other Associations to the fact, and also pass resolutions condemning the back- gown tothe one per cent. to the Collector of Taxes, which was nought else than a back- down. ‘The Chair (Dr. Boyd) said that his business ‘was tobear suggestions and put motions, but he would say that some of those elected by Radical yotes bad gone back on them. The Alderman referred to was one of them and was” =aid to bave been a friend of the colored race for years. He did not Enow whether there were any soap factories in the city,but thought there were one or two and the grease had been allowed to rnn_ if that wasso he hoped that the ‘plug would be pnt in. He passed onea fewdays ‘Ago and Kis “oll factories” were treated toa bad smell. He fully endorsed this man once but could not doitnow. He was not the only one for there was one who had reported that two ‘well-known copperheads in the Seventh Ward ‘were radicals. When men go back on their uriends it was time that they were exposed. Me. Oasby, (colored.)—Giye us his name. Dr. Boyd—We must take care how we use names or we may bring a libel suit. Mr. C. F. Barnes, (white)—Epbraim Wheel- er isthe man. He urged the appointment of Bob Magee as harbor master. Mr. Brooks, (colored)—If you read the pa- pers of Tuesday last, you will find ont the oth- er one. Br. Boswell (white) moved that the meeting reaffirm the action of the previous meeting, and urge their representatives in the Councils to stand firm on the schoo} bill, and i the appropriation for colored schools. marked tbat it seemed there were bad caicu- Jators in the Councils, and no two men had the same figures. The bill reported by Mr. Clarke, chairman of the Committee on Schools, contained figures procured from the books of the Corporation and the court, but they did aot come up to the figures urged as the correct ones by other membersof the boards. Some of Our representatives bad votea against the bill 4n the Council because they did not consider the amountsnficient, and he gave them oredit gor it. Monday nigbdt. in the Aldermen’ cbamber, they had seen some of the defunc’ arty, who said wheu they got the fig: Sree they would pass the bill. He wanted thé colored school appropriations kept en bill 888 rider, snd Wanted to see them stand on ‘that iesue or not vote a dollar.

Mr, Boswell—I am not sure: Gon't like to baie hickens before they are hatched. t have it now, and if they make the 8ppropriation for the white scbools they must make it for the colored. Messrs. Baker and Knight stood firm on these measares. [Cheers } This Proposition was not discussed in the Fourt! ‘ard Club but he knew that the President of that club held the same views that be had advanced. 1t had been said that tf the bill passed as it left the Counce: 1, that the Mayor would veto it. Well, if he’does, he would have to veto the white schools appro- Priation also. 1f they are separated, the col- ored schools go up. Only stand firm, and ali will be well. If one goes down, all will go down. One thing he was sure of, and that was that next June the Seventh Ward would do her duty, and no one who voted against the colored schools would be returned to the Boards. . A. Watson (white) sald that there seemed to be a hinge on the amount, bat in his opinion the Aldermen did not mean to pay a''all No Committee bas made it less than $50,000 for colored schools, and others $64,000, It bad deen said that they would vote fer the bill when the amount is definitely ascertained, and to test their sincerity a compromise should be Proposed. Asx to the amonnt due according to ice—the colored people having paid taxes to support the white schools for years—it was Jerger by far than any amount named in the Mr. Wm. Jones (colored) said that it was strange that the correct figures could not be bad, and asked if it was possible that the cal- culation could not be made. The colored peo- ple enly wanted their share. Mr. Fielder Carroll (colored) said thatit was Dow 31 years that he lived here, and it seemed still—the days ot writing free papers at the City Hall—!mat they intended to use them like ahorse. Itdid not seem to him that they in- tended to do right. The most interesting que: tion with him (holding up a miniature fiug) this. He bad spilt bis blood tor it once, and would do it again. (Cheers.] If these men did not intend todo them justice they should be removed the first opportunity. Mr Brooks (colored) said that the colored scbool fund was something like the draft rund, and while looking after one they should look after the other. He was a tax-payer, and re- ceived his papers after be was drafted in 1564, and with them went tothe Mayor to get the $75 appropriated, when the Mayor ssid the money was not for negroes. He understood that this money had been paid back by the tax payers, ond he patd taxes, as well as his father before him. ven Democrats had told him that the Mayor should have paid him. He bad peen ploughing after this ever since, and wanted to know what was going to be done in Tegard to this matter. If they could not get the money through the corporation they would have to go to the courts. After some further debate, the motion of Mr. Boswell, instructing their representatives to stand firm on the school bill, was adopted. Mr. A. Watson moved to instruct the Qjun- cilmen and Aldermen to attach to the general appropriation bill a rider to pay to the drafted colored men of 1=64 the druft money due them, and to stand by it whether it defeats the appro- priation bill or not. This motion was debated at length, in which it was stated that Aldermen Peake and Mc- Cathran bad stated that the money had been paid back, the colored people also helping: that it would require $2,000 or $9,000 to pay these claims. The motion was adopted. Mr. gon called attention to Dr. Boyd’s work on “Human Right:,’ speaking of it highly: and was followed by Mr.S.S. Baker, C.F. Varnes and others. Dr. Boyd followed in a characteristic speech, at the conclusion of which the meeting ad- journed. —— ee THE WASHINGTON BENEVOLENT LiFE IN- SURANCE CoMPANY.—A meeting of the indi- viduals proposing to establish a Benevolent Life Insurance Association was neld last eve- ning, at the rooms of the Board of Trade, Mr. Cornelius Wendell presiding, and H. B. Swee- bey acting as secretary. Mr. A.G. Haley, of the committee appointed at the last meeting on the subject, reported a constitution for the gov- ernient of the association, so far as the same was matured, which was read. Dr. Clayton thonght i: was not sufficiently condensed, but rather & treatise on the subject before the meeting. The President stated that the cont stitution was not submitted to the meeting, it not being the evening upon which the com- mittee were to report. The papers were there- fore left with the committee, who decided to meet on Monday evening next to further con- sider the subject. Mr. Haley in a few remarks, set forta, in speaking of the duration of life; thatthe chances of life for men was in proportion to their ages, and that that matter must be con- sidered: it woalg not do to drive the young men away fronf the Association by making them pay as much daring therr longer prospect of life as the old and decriped man; or the man killing bimselt by intemperanc>. Mr. Clayton said that if the Association was tobe made a Life Insurance Company on the old plan, it might as well be given up at once; but should {t be conducted on a co-operate plan, it would be in all probability a success. A medical gentleman present said the pro- posed association could be made a success by proper discretion. The Carlisle tables, repre- senting life and death, could not be set aside. He read Irom a table showing the income of the different lite msurance companies. with all the risks of life ran by the citizens of New York. He sui there were but seventeen out of a thousand «hat died ina year; in France there were but twenty-seven out of athou- sand who died; and that im the proposed asso- ciation, according to this rate of mortality, members wonld have to pay but Si7 per year, while im ordinary life insurance companies they would pay much more. according to the amount for which they were insured. He argued that it would not do to require the young man with a greater prospect of life to pay during his existance the same amount as the eld man with a ehorter ; rospect of iife. Mr. Disturnell read from the report of Dr. Harris, of the Board of Health of New York, the mortals, stimate for the city of New York. Mr. D. thonght fifteen deaths to the thoussnd would be a liberal estimate upon which to base the operations of the association here. He was in favor of keeping out those ‘who were killing themselves by strong drink. Dr. W. J. C. Duhamel! was elected temporary Vice-Preeident of the association. Atout one thousand persons nave subscribed their names as co-operators in the proposed association. On motion, the meeting adjourned. at SEE NSS ORGANIZATION OF THE MuTROPOLITAN BUILDING ASSOCIATION.—A meeting of this new Co-operative Building Association was Deld last evening at Professor Sheldon's Hall, over Blanchard & Mohun’s book s'ore. This ‘was the second meeting of this Associatien, a president, secretary, and treasurer having been elecied at the first meeting, as = ried in the Star In the absence of the President (Mr. John R. Elvans) last night, toe secretary, jor k. W. Clarke, called the meeting to or- ger. and Mr. J. Daniels was called to thechair. He then stated that the object of the meeting ‘Was as advertised, to perfect the organization of the association. Mr. John R.

The following directors were then elected: Heury L. Sherwood, J. H. Russell, w Bornbam. A quorum having been elected, on motion of Mr. Daniele, the turther election of rs was postponed until the next meeting; and a tnll organization tor business purposes having been effected, the Secretary was directed to open books of subscription, and to advertise; and on motion of Mr. H.

At seven o'clock tastevening they lefvfor@bridal tour through the North. des mace. Last evening, abont eight o'clock, a number ot Democratic and Conservative citizens met atthe National Hotel, and witha portion of the Merine band under Prof. Scals, marched to the residence of Col. Thomas B. Florence, on Seventh street. Upon arriving there seve- ral airs were played by the band, and loud calls were made for Florence; the crowd by this time numbering abeut one thousand. Col. Florence appeared on the portico, and afier returning his heartfelt thanks for the compliment, congratulated them upon the recent Democratic victories, and spoke for some time asto the Democratic arty and the prosperity of the country whiie the yemocrats were 9 power. In conclusion the speaker urged Hil to keep step to the music of the Union, and thoroaghiy organize Col. W. P Sawyer, of the Pittsburg Republic. ‘Wes introduced and madea’short address, ‘was followed by Dr. Charles Allen, afier which the procession was again formed and marched to the Metropolitan Hotel, for the urpose of serenading Hon. D. M. Voorhees, br Indiana. * After music By ihe band, Mr. Voorhees was introduced by. Allen, and efter returning bis thanks, said this wasa glorious hoar for this country, and the clouds which had so long obscured the political horizon were now breaking away. He denounced the Radical Congress and their legislation, declaring that they were traitors, and kept ten States out of the Union after tnousands of brave men had laid down their lives to keep those States in the Union. The people m the late elections bad repudiated that Congress and negro sut- frage. He denounced Uongress for enforcing upon the people ot this District negro suffrage when their own constituencies had repudiated the same. The Anglo-Saxon race had been the race of civilization and pi 8. Incon- clusion, he said the Radicals were now crip- Pied, and the people were after them. He spoke, of the elections to come, and predicted the defeat of the Radical party® Atter Mr. Voorhees’ speech the procession ‘was again formed. and marched to the resi- dence of Hon. Montgomery Blair. After sev- eral airs by the band, Mr. Blair appeared on the portico. and returned bis thanks for the compliment. This was no mere party rejoicing, but called. for a deep feeling of gratitude to God, and which pervades every face. It isin & calm snd holy spirit which pervades our pape that these dark days and reign of terror ave passed away from us forever. I do not know whether it is true or not, but I believe it is, that the beart of Grant beats true to the country to whom he has rendered such illus- rious service. The late deluge of victories has drow: out the whole litter of radical candi- dates; and these place-hunters are trying to ae {hesseety 8 by seizing hold of General 3rant. The Radicals were conspira‘ors against popular government. They have kept up the howl abont rebellion long since suppressed, and affected so much sorrow less the Govern- ment ebouid fall mto the hands of the rebels, to cover their designs to destroy the Govern- ment altogether aud substitute a military des- potism. To do this they havesent their emis- saries to the Sonth to create riots, which form the pretext for setting up the military govern- rents now established there; and they are now secretly organizing military forcesall over the country, and will not want pretext to set up similar governments throughout the land. They foresaw the time would come when their waste of the public money and blood sucking by bonds and tariffs, by which they concilia e Northern aristocracy to ther schemes, would turn the people of the North against them. Thattime has come, and therefore the same reason exists for disfranchising the North that imduced them to disfranchise the South. ‘The Radicals contemplate subversion of the Government, and thus have supplied them- selves liberally with the appliances of war in the South in the security of armed and organ- ized bands to withstand the popular will and continue themselves in power independent of it. Many of the wisest men in the country think they will stop short at the command of the pepular will; but through the lead of Thad. Stevens, though they would have the Audacity to goon, their followers will quail. 1 hope it may be so, but 1 am afraid they are Mistaken. The recent elections should tall them that they can only retain power by ap- plying the same despotism to the Norih that they now £0 remorselessly and cruelly put upon the South. They are hunting for pretext, and are ready to seize the boldest, to proceed to imprisonment, in order to possess themselves of uncontrolled military power, with no other purpose than toestablisa despotism throughout the country. 1t 18 only because this power is necessary to the pur- pore, and because they contemplate using it to effect it that the leaders have insisted sostren- nously on impeachment, and still insist upon it, Now, while every patriot brands this de- testable conspiracy in proper terms, let us be careful to give no pretext for the violence they Meditate; but let us cail down the indignation of the country upon their violations of the Constitution and the revotutionary designs for which they are made. If New York will only echo the thunder of the Keystone and Buckeye States, and the old Bay State shall join in the rebuke, all will go well; butif a sanction can be procured anywhere through insane partisanship for their designs, 1 fear the woret is not yet over. S22 gt MEBTING OF THE FiReT CO-OPERATIVE As- S0CIATION.—A special meeting of the Firet Co-operative Building Association was held jJast bight in Potomac Hall, South Washington, corner of lith street and Maryland avenue. The meeting was called to order by Mr. W.T. Walker, the President, with Mr ©. B. Church Treasurer, and G. R. Thompsoz Secretary, as assistants. An opportunity was offered a!) persons who wished to do 80, to come forward and take stock in the Association, which was respond. ed to by a number of gentlemen. The President then announced that the next business in order was the consideration of cer- tain amendmenw to the constitution. Mr. Church, who offered an ameodment at the last meeting. providing that an Insurance feature be incorporated in the Association; withdrew the same. Mr. Judd then took the floor, and briefly ad- dressed the meeting in opposition to certain sections of the document, after which he moved that the constitution he referred to a special committee of five. with instructions to revise the fame and made the association co-opera- tive in every particular. The motion was agreed to, and the President appointed Messrs. J. G. Judd, C. B.Church, J.R. Thompson, J. H. Herron, and W. J. Flood as said committee. On motion, the committee was authorized to certify to the President whenever it was ready to report. The members of the committees were there- upon requested to hold an informal mc >ting to-night, with the understanding that a mevt- poe for scion would take place on Monday mbt. ‘The lists for subscription were again opened, and several persons (cok ome or more shares; aiter. which, on motion, the meeting adjourn: =~ CeystaL Wave Division, S. oF T.—The meeting of this Division last evening, at their new ball on N street, between 6th and 7th. was of very great interest. Several ladies and gentlemen were initiated. Under the nead of “Good of the Order,” after some very inter- esting remarks by Dr. S.S. Turner, and a comic song by Mr. Frank Eichelberger, Mr. D. ©. Fountain recited a very beautitul poem entitled “ The Blue and the Grey,” descriptive of an incident in the South where the ladies Bad decorated the graves ef Union and Con- federate soldiers alike, which met with great applause. Mr. Wm. F. Given then read a racy sketch headed «The it umbte Division,” which created much merriment, some doings of the visiting party being there recorded in a very droll manner. ‘The exercises under this head wound up with the reading of a laughable paper entitled “Mrs. Ruddetoot,” by Mr. Eicheiberger. which was Hkewise well received. ‘Phe Division agreed to change the night of meeting to Friday here- after. et MvsicaL.—Miss Jenny Busk, a gifted young songstress, & native of Baltamore, having ac- quired a world. wide repatation as an artist of the firet-class, bas been eng in New York for a series of concerts at Stein way Hall in that city and 1s Dow probably on her way from Eu- rope, where she bas won the plaudits of the highest musical authorities at Paria, Dresde: Leipzig and other cities. 1t will be particul: ly ‘ing fo the citizens cf Was!

THE CO-OPERATIVE QUESTION, ‘The regular meeting of the Workingmen's Assembly was held last evening at the City Hall, (Council Ohamber,) Vice President J. W. Mattingly in the chair; Jas. H. Reed, sec- retary. After the roading of the minutes, une Sxecutive committee, Wm. ) chairman, Presented a report im re erence to a circular Presented at the last meeting, show! vantages of co. op xrative building associations. The report wasadopted. A pated communi cation was then read, hei ““Co-operat: Building Association; Words of Caution to our Fellow Workmen.” The communication, which was one originally laid before th ecati’ communicati Quotes from the eonstitution of the “First Co- operative Building Aseociation of the District or Columbia,” and refers more especially to article 12, Mm which it is provided that tne stockholder who has taken an advance from the association shall continue to pay his monthly subscriptions regalarly during the whole time he is pay! the returns ot his ad- vance, and after having returned it shall con- tinue to pay his monthly dues for a lengtn of time not exceeding fourteen years. The writer undertskes to demonstrate by figures that the stockbelder who borrows $1, at 66 premium for ten years, and continues his monthly daes four years Jonger, pays OD principal $1000, in interest $660, and in shares $42U,a total of $2,050. He also maintains that the borrower o $1,0(0, at 66, pays an annual (Average) interes of 28 1-1Uth per cent, and that arter having struggled through this Ilfe-draining process he is bound by his morgage ay and $30 4 year tor four years for the privilege of being a borrower. Should the Associatfon wind up in lv years instead of 14 years, the borrower still pay: $1.960 for bis $1,000 and gets nothing on his shares, while the investor, who does not bor- Tow, pays $300 andreceives $1,000. Even eHp- Posing tbat the stock subscription should dropped from the day that the advance.is pur- chased the borrower of $1,000 at 66 premium to be repaid ia ten installments, one-tweifth of each installment monthly, still pays nineteen and three.tenths per cent. per annum, and ac- tually pays back $1,600 for his $1,010: which would be fair enough it he had the use of the money for 10 years, but the longer he has it tne emailer it gets, and the more he pays for it. The writer @rgues that the solution of the difficulty ig that the $1,000 should not be returned, and this uyay be said to be the secret of the whole matter. al t from the Constitution and the in- terest at 66 would be very low; indeed there should be @ proviso that the money should not be sold under eight per cent. A pays $2.50 8 month for fourteen years, and B does likewise. Why should not each be en- titled tothe same amount at theend? Two thousand stockholders each pay #2.50 on the first month, making $5,000 on the table. Now, aseach man of the two thousand is entitled alike to have bis $1,000 first, how shall it be decided whois to haveit?
