Dr. J.G. Butler is pas- tor, was held, and was largely attended by the memuvership and attendants of the church. After devotional exere had been conducted by Dr. Butler, ard Rey. Mr. Finkel, of the First Ward Chorch, the meeting was organized by the selection of Mr. A. S. Pratt as presideat, and Mr. J.L. Endule secretary. Dr. Butler read a paper from the Church Council, refer- Ting the communication made to the church by the pastor on the 12th of April to this meeting. ‘The substance cf this communication that he (Dr. B.) had been waited upon by a com- mittre of three persons, claiming to represent a large proportion of the membership who in- formed bim that it was desirable that he should cbange the character of his ministrations or tenaer bis resignation.

The secretary disclsimed having elaborated his report of the procerdings of the last meeting from any sinis- ir motive, but had merely done so because be ‘stood it to be the wish of a majority of the ns of the ward thathe should. Joba P. closed, thought the secretary had done perfectly right. Chere was no newspaper Te- Porter present at the last me ting of the elu», aud therefore 1 was proper, on the part of the Scretary, to let the absentees know what was ut that tune said and done. The motion of Mr. Syphax was thereupon put to vote and defeat- «d. A motion of Wm. Syphax, colored, that all Republicans of the First Ward, whether members of the club or not, be invited !o par- ticipate in the meeting, excited consideranle ; after which the motion was laid bl", and subsequently an invitation extended to all present who wished to do come forward and sign the roll Wiilivm Syphax desired to 4sk some expla- nation of the President with regard ton certain preamble and resolutions which had been cir- culated abvut the city, and which purported to have been unanimously adopted at a recent meeting of the First Ward Republican Club. {Here, the greaies: confusion ensned, and over al the house joined in the most boisterous in- terruption. The Secretary got the floor, and persistently demanded to be heard. Mr. Sy- phax and the Secretary both held the floor till compelled by the President to sit down, who afterwards administered a rebuke to his assis- tant, and remarked that be could not permit the Secretary to act as President also. One member moved that the Secretary be requested to resign, and another moved that he be im- peached.” Laughter.) John F. Cook, colored, trom the Campaign Committee, submitted a number of names to act as a block committee to secure the attendance of voters at the polls on election day: approved. Mr. Syphax aggin arose and renewed his inquiry with reference to the long resolutions said to have been passed ata meeting of the club. He wished to know at what meeting was these resolutions adopted, | and by whose anthonity were they printed. The Chair rephed that he could not say by Whose authority they were priated, but at a merting held ai Bethany Church the resolu- tions in question were read and rushed through at railroad speed. Mr. Henderson, colored, was Present at that meeting, and did not see any Tailroad there. Con=iderable confosion followed, which was kept up for some time, till fiaally, by dint of perseverance, the Chair restored partial order; when, on motion, William Syphax was given ten minutes in which to make his remarks, Mr. Syphax having been granted ten minutes, then read that resolution of the series which instructed the representatives of the two boards of the City Counciis to “disregard all applica. tions for appointments from the First Ward, unless the person applymg presents a recom. mendation from the First Ward Republican Club, which recommendation shall be accom- | panied with a resolution passed by a majority of the club then assembled, declaring such pet referred to, and requesting the council of the church to enforer the discipline against them | if th not repent.

Mr. Finkel here offered a fervent prayer, and Dr. Butler addresced the mecting, saying that he did not regard this as a trifling matter it having been stated that this committee Tep- resented a large number of inembers of the cburch. He felt thankful that so ‘much una. pimity had prevailed, and tendered his ace knowledgements for this endorsement.

Marini, which will take place St the National Theatre, on Monday evening, the lith of May, will undoubtedly be one of the most elegant floral spectacles ever wit- | nesved in the National metropolis. The entire auditorium will be flcored even with the stage, thes providing an immense ball room. The | = roy eg decorations of the theatre will be very elabo- | rate, and it is intended that the arrangements | and character of the festival shall be unexcep- | tionable. The price of tickets of admission to | the ball (admitting a gentleman and two ladies) | have been fixed at $5. but in order to accom- | mocate the great number of persons who are | desirous of witnessing the festival without | taking part therein, tickets for spectators to the Dress Circle can be had at the Acaderay at #1-| wach, and seats can be reserved for fifty cents | extra. Private boxes can also be secured, Hundred of our citizens will, no doubt, avail | themselves of this arrangement and secure | seais im the dress circle, where they can wit- ness the ball without being an the floor. Tickets can be obtained at the Academy, or at ‘Metzerott's or Ellis’ music stores. ——- ——_ Rossgrtes.—Last night, about 12 o'clock, the boot and shoe store of Mr. Keigecker, on’ the southwest corner of 6th and H streets, was broken into and robbed of boots and shoes to {the value of about $75. The shutters to the show window cm Mi street were forced off, a pane of glass broken, and the shoes taken out of atoueend. Mr. Keisecker thinks the burglars the window by means of a long iron rod crooked were frightened away, as this rod was found this morning lying by the window. shoes were left, and one pair of boots dropped close by the broken pane of glass. General Stokes, who 5! in a room ssid he heard the breeking of the glass, but thought it was caused by the wind. Night before last, we store of Mr. Robert , corner of T2th street and Massachu- setts avenue, was robbed of a ham and other articles, with some three or four dollars in money—the fifth time during the past eighteen | months. This was done in the early part of the evening, when Mr. Z. was absent and a eolored man engsged Mrs. Z. in conversation at the back door. . son the choice of the First'Ward for such pos! tion as may be named in the recommendation. To that portion of the resolution which in- structed the two boards to disregard all appli- cations unless recommended by the club, he uiterly dissented. It was an attempt te make slaves of men whose positions should give them an honorable character, and deg-ading to every instinct of independence and republican hiber-y. While in favor of a just andequal dis- tribution of all public positions among the peo- ple, yet he was opposed to exacting from repre- ves in advance any pledges to disregard the opinions and wishes of thoss who did'act happen to be members of the club. It was well kpown that he had been an earnest advocate of obtaining from Congress the right of suffrage for the colored people; but still it had never been his intefltion or belief that this privilege would also give them the right to so ar trammel the action of their representatives &s to compel them to disregard the wishes of | others who had bestowed their suifrage upon him. The Republicans of this ward were not Prepared to recognize the few men who com- pored this clud as their political masters; and in bis opinion any man who would be willing toaccept position at the hands of the peopi- under such restrictions as were proposed in the resolutions could never be elected from the ward. In conclusion, Mr. Syphax de- nounced the principle laid down in the reso- Inti n as tyrannical and disorganizing in its ‘ haracter, and the assertion that the resolutions had been adopted unanimously was absolutely Jse, for the meeting was an insignificant one, and there were loud demonstrations against their passage. No such doctrines would ever receive the sanction of the citizeas of Washing- ton. Robert Peyton, colored, wished to know if It was not the privilege of ‘the club to pass such resolutions. He believed it was, and there wiTe not more than two or three men kicking against the principle. Rob't Thomp- son, colored, considered himself as ‘he party specially addressed by Mr. Syphax, and, per- mission’ being given, proceeded toreply. As regards the questions which had been pro- pounded, he would say that the printing bad not been ordered by the club, but it was no falsehoed that they had been adopted by the organization. There had been so rauch talk as to the character of the resolutions that, in order | to have them understood, it was thought best to have them printed. The printing bad been paid for without stealing the money. ui not a cent had been collected from thos who op- posed them. He then proceeded to custain the resolutions, and defended them from the charge of tyranny. He was surprised to find any op- position to the principle Iaid down that the colored man should have hts share of public benefits, and believed the whole secret of the opposition was that tbey thought it was too much assumption for negroes to attempt to as- sert who shall hold office. 1t bad been hiated thai-rome of the disaffected would go to the Democratic party if the resolutions were in- sted on. Well, let them go; but he would ask what would be gained thereby? In that event, all that would be said by the Democrats would be that they were intelligent negroes. Let them go to the people. Andrew Johnson went to the people, and in a few days he would be sunk into the deepest degradation. Vocuferous ap- | Plause followed Mr. Thompson's remarks, and simultaneous therewith the President, who had been annoyed by the Secretary leaning over him, exclaimed, “Get out!” which was re- sponded to by one of the audience, “I move that the President get out.” Wm. Syphax gain obtained the floor, and amid loud cries ©f “order, it down,” &e., was heard to say that the resolutions bore 'a falsehood on mice, and only emanated from the new "phe chair appealed to the audience not to disgrace themselves, as there were white gentlemen and reporters present. A voice —“We don’t care if there are white gent.emen here.” Mr. John F. Qook asserted that the resolutions about which there was so much fuss bad been loudly adopted. William Syphax—«It's not so, and you'll be remem- bered for your conduet.” Son after, Mr. Syphax started to leave the hall, but on reach- jug the seat of Cook, an excited wrangle en- ued, which caused quite a commotion in the room. At this juncture Henry Heimburg, for the twentieth time, essayed to speak, but there | was a general disinélination to’ hear bim: | whereupon he moved an adjournment, which | was carried. ae ee | Tue Riven Front, Arrit 24. —Carter's | Wharf. —Sailed —Schooners Mariner, Capt.
