During the af- ternoon M. ©. Luttrell was objected to because be was South during the war, and he claimed that he was pardoned by the amnesty procla- mation. The Judges decided that such a par- den was not sufficient, and his name was not entered. Patrick }OX was objected to on the ground that he claimed exemption from tue deat on account of being a British subject. He denied this emphateally, and procured his Ts and was allowed to register. Patri Kecliy wasobjected to by Abraham Dyson (cole ered) and at bis suggestion was asied where he was during the rebellion. to which Kelly re- pled by producing honorable discharge papers from the Union army and navy. -orge Taylor, (colored,) residing on 2d street and Virginia avenue, was objected to by W. A. Wilson. on the ground that he had sold his vote, Taylor demed that such was th and challenged any man to produces the proof, and his name was taken. Mr. James M.

Union man, and,bis name was entered. Israel Slater (white) gave bis name to Mr. Bowen, and in answer to questions said that he had been here two years, and had a wife living in New York: he claimed his residence here, and could not vote in New ‘York if he wanted to. Mr. Bowen held that be could not properly register him: that a man’s bome was where his wife was, and he asked the opinion of Messrs. Robbins and Plant. While the case was being stated Slater remarked that the case was before them, and “you can decide as you choose, but we'll pay you next fail.” Charles Everline was object- @d to because his name was on the printed list of those who claimed to be aliens to avoid the dratt. He denied that he had made any such claim, and was accepted. Wm. Whalen was objected to on the ground of not being natural- ized, and he subsequently produced papers dis- proving such allegation. Henry Clay, colored, ‘Was registered, being the second one of that name im the ward. Orsy Wells (colored) was Fejected, be answering that he had been in the city but eight months. je registration was not brisk until 6 o'clock, when, for nearly an hour, there was a steady stream flowing towards the windows.

Ifthe Tegistration for this year had closed at the above figures, and suj-jusing all the colored men so far registered this year were to vole the Republican ticket, they would need the Votes of just 1,085 white Republicans to elect their Mayor.

FIRST WARD. A LIVELY TIME AT THE WEST END. Pursuant to the above call the First Ward Republicans assembled last evening in the National Theological Institute, corner 22d and I streets. It was about half past eight o'clock beforean steps were taken to organize, there being present at that time about 20) persons, of whom, by far, the larger portion were colored men. ‘Among the fifteen or twenty white men resent were Councilmen Tilly, Slowen and ker, of the First Ward, Dr. Newman, Maj. ‘Thomas Fletcher, and Mr. Charles Hulse. At the hour named, the Vice President of the First Ward Republican Club, (Robert? Thompson, colored) called the Clun to order. After prayer by Leacon Cornelius Clark, (col red) the chair stated the object of the meeting under the call. John F. Cook (colored,) asked if it was a meeting of the Club or award meeting. The Chair said it was a meeting of the Club. Cor- nelius Clark (colored,) suid he did not ‘so un- derstand it, but thatit was a meeting of the Re- publicans of the ward. Edward Watson, (colored, and Gurdon Snowden took the same ground. Alexander Henderson (colored) said this Clob was not a new thing. Every Republican in the ward had had nity of joining it,and the Club should make the nominations.’ John F. Cook suggested an adjournment of the Cinb, and the calling of a Republican mass meeting Gurdon Snow- den madea motion that all the Republican Yoters in the ward should be allowed to vote for deiegates. Francis Taverns (colored,) offered as a substitute that the Club adjourn, and the assembly resolve itself into a mass meeting ot the Republican citizens of the First Ward. The motion was carried. Considerable confusion ensued and amid cries oft “order,” Robert Thompson was nominated and elected as temporary chairman, and Wm. H. Lewis, (colored, secretary ot the club,) as temporary secretary. Some. di of order having deen restored, Wm. Syphax (colored) nominated Carter A. Stewart (colored) as presi- dent of the meeting. Henry Lacy (colored.)— “I move to lay that motion on the table. I nominate Robert Thompson.” Wm. Syphax.— “I move to lay that nomination on the table The noise was now deafening, and in the tu- mult the Chair declared the motion was lost, and the question being put on the nomination of Robert Thompson, the “ayes” drowned all gpposition and he was declared elected. Win. . Lewis was then elected permanent secre. tary. John F.Cook moved to proceed tothe election of the fifteen delegates and five mem- bers of the Republican General Committee. George Garrett (colored) offered a resolution that the delegates and members of the ward nominating committee be divided equally be- tween the north and south sides of Pennsylya- nia avenue. This was warmly opposed by Wm. Syphax, John F. Cook and others, and, en motion ot Walker White, (colored,) it was laid on the table. Alexander Henderson then 0 flered the following resolution «We, the Republicans of the First Ward, be- lieving that the interests of this city demands that we should select as chief magistrate a man who has the confidence of the loyal citizens and the law-making power of the land: There- fore, esolved, That in Hon. Sayles J. Bowen we reer gnize one who has ever labored for the advancement and rights of all our fellow-citi- zens. We hereby pledge to him our suppori, and instruct our delegates to vote for him as 4 candidate for the office of Mayor of this city in the City Nominating Convention.” Mr. Francis Tay n+ (colored) moved to defer Action on the resolution uatil after the deleg: had been elected: carried. Mr. Alexander Hen- | derson wished to submit a list of delegates for action. Tremendous uproar ensued. Mr. Ed- ward Watson (colored) opposed it. Mr. i derson asked if the gentleman (W: nm) him (Henderson) on his oath, Mr. Watson.—“1 would net believe you on oath in this matter.” Things were very ively about this time, and fifteen or twenty speakers tried to obtain the floor, but the Chair would not recognize any one but Mr, Hender- son, who be ruled had the iloor to offer a reso- lution. A motion was made that the secretary read the list of names submitted. The Chair ided it carried. and the to read the list: but was interrupted by cries of “Lay iton the table.” A voice.—«You will bave to send for a committee of the Fourth Ward Democrats to keep order, This meeting is worse than that.” Edward Watson—“The paper is a rascaily one, conceived in iniquity.” Cries of “No cut and dried nominations.” Francis Tavern= moved to lay the list on the table. The uproar sull continuing and the Chair being unable to obtain order, Mr. Henderson withdrew the list. Mr. Taverns moved to proceed to nominate delegates from the floor; carried. Wm. Syphax uominated Councilman H. H. Tilley, (white.) which was met by derisive cries ot “No you don’t,” and a motion was made to lay the nom- ination on the table; which the Chair decided carried. A scene followed which beggars de- scription, every one in the room being on their feet, shouting and gesticulating, most of them calling for a division. Walker White's voice Was at length heard above the din, addressing Edward Watson, who was on the floor trying to be heard. White said: “You are always coming to our meetings making contusion. If Jou don't hehave yourself Wll/put you out of tue room.” Mr. Watson.—~I'd like to see you come and do it” White got up and com- menced taking off his coat to go for Watson, but finally was persuaded by his friends to reluc- tantly cease his preparations for hostilities; but said there were certain members who only came to these meetings to create confusion, and be would name them. Mr. Watson.—“Do you mean me!” Mr.White.—“Yes, you; and there's another, and another, and another,” pointiag ary proceed severally to Watson, Wm. Syphax, and others | Major Fletcher. who had been vainly exerci ing bis voice in the rear of the room, with about 4s much effect as if he had been speaking in a nail factory, here approached the Chair and shouted out ‘that the citizens had come here to elect delegates. and if the Chair could not con- trol the meeting he had better give up and ad- journ The Chair arose and said he was elected by the inveting to preside, and knew his business, and did not want any interterence. Major Fletcher retorted that he bad better give up the ehair if he could not keep order. The Chair said excitedly that he would not be insulted by any one. Major Fletcher disclaimed any such design, and retired. In the meanti there were ‘alarming indications of an ap proaching fight in the rear of the room. Th reporters hastily gathered hats, umbrellas and note books, and watched the progress of events with some solicitude, as there was quite a rush towards the place of the quarrel. The Chair loudly appealed to the meeting to keep order. He waselected chairman by them, and it was their business to support him. He requested them to take seats, and all who had not seats to “squat.” 4 division was then called for on the nomination of Mr. Tilley, and resulted—y 64, pays 100, When the secretary announce: the resull, there was cries of “good,” and ap- plause. Mr. Syphax did not believe that the result was as stated. It was falsehood. The secretary («ho bad made the count) arose here and said that he was a gentleman, and he al- jowed no man to call him a liar. Mr. W.G. MeCreary, (whiite,) who had re- | peatedly tried to obutil a hearing, arose—the Perspirution rolling down his tace from bis previous abortive efforts to get in a word —aud in @ stentorian voice demanded tellers to count the vote. Cries of “Lay that on the table.” ‘The tumult increasing and cries for tellers mul- tiplymg, the Chair named Alexander Hender- son and Wm. H. Wormley, botn colored, 2s tellers. A. Henderson srose and said’ he would decline. as one of the members, at least, Edward Watson, bad said that he believe him (Henderson) on his oath 'm. H. Lewis, (colored,) secre- in place of Henderson. "The Secretary.— Mr. President, I hope not. “The Chair.—I take your name back; (jocosely)—“I forgot: you are & har. it seems.” “Henry deimber (white) and} Wm. H.

(Great applause.) ‘The Seeretary.—-Gentlemen, I hope you now see that the liar was right.” “Mr. Win Syphax Was nominated, and a motion to lay on the table wes made, which the Chair decided carried, the ves” being overpowering. By this time the minority had become some- what dispirited, axd the fifteen delegates were rapidly uominated and elected, as follows. | there being only a few scattering “noes,” and the announcement of each name being greeted with joud applause: Jno, F.Cook, Alex. Hender- son, Robert Thompson, Thomas Martin, Fran- cis Taverns, Carter A. Stewart, Henry’ Heim ber, Isaiah Bouldin, Henry Lacey, Chas. Hulse, Alfred Jones, Cornelius Clark, Wm. M.

Mr. Wm. Syphax agnin gall up the above resolution of Alexander Henderson, in favor of Mr, Bowen for Mayor. William Coke snomitted his resignation as a ember of the Ward neminating Committee. Nomimations to fill the vacancy were made all once of Walker White. H. H. Tilley, Henry Heimber, and others. Great confusion ensued, Mr. Heimber loudly shouting that it was not {uit to have all colored men on the Com- mi tee, There should be at least one white mun on it. The confusion increasing, and the pounding of chair’s big stick oa the table not uieting the meetiag, Wm. Coke came to the ‘hair, and said at the solicitation of his friends he would withdraw his resignation—so that bone of contention was removed. The ques- tion recurring on the resolution in favor of Mr, Bowen. Mr. Thos. Martin hoped the delegates wonld be untrammelied so that they might act as independent men, and moved to lay the reso- Tution on the table. The tried to read the resolution, but there was so much uproar that be could not proceed for some time, the Chair remarking that all the confasion seemed to proceed from the respectable men of. the meeting. The resolution having finally been read, William Syphax said the oppo sition to the resolut showed that the reports he heard on the streets were correct, that the delegates could be bought for a dollar, and would vote tor anyone, accord- ing to circumstances. But the meeting had a Tight to instruct the delegates, and he hoped would doso. Mr. John F. Gook said he had not asked a nomination. All he had done had been in accordance with the resolution, and whether he was instructed to vote for Mr. Bowen or not, he would vote for him un- less otherwise instructed. He regretted the fusion which had prevailed, and was will to be instructed by the meeting. Alexander Henderson said he was a freeman and did not belong to anybody. He was not acquainted with the proposed candidates, except by their records; but if any other gentleman had a can- didate he wished to advocate before this meet- ing, let bimdoso. He had the record of Mr. Bowen here which he wished to have read, and submitted a long printed document headed « A. few words tothe Republican voters of the cit of Washington, with reference to Mr. Sayles 5 A Bowen as « candidate for the office of Mayor.” The record recites the various efforts of Mr. Bowen in behalf of the colored race; in the cause of education; in enabling colored per- sons to testify in the courts; insecuring justive to the colored men by the police; in procuring suffrage for the colored men; in securing equal Tights for citizens of color betore the Board of egistration and at the election. “All this was done by Mr. Kowen from principle, with- out the remotest expectation of foe or reward, And I happen to know that he does not want Any office or favor at your hands: that it he were the only one to ‘be consulted, he would retire to private life when he leaves the sition be now so ably and satistactorily fills.” The white people, particularly the poor of the ciy, owe him much. The record notes his integrity as a public officer, and says :—« His honesty is proverbial; and it is this and his ac- kmowledged capacity that haye secured for him the raany positions he has held under the Goverument. of which we have heard so much, it was this that commended him to Mr. Lin- coin, whose confidence he possessed to the Tullest extent, and from whom he received and now keeps as sacred mementoes of that friend and martyr of liberty and humanity, more commissions tban any other man living or dead. The successful manner in which be bas conducted the sffairs of the post office, Collec. tor of Internal Revenue, disbursing officer of the Senate, Commissioner of Police, and mem. ber of the Levy Court, proves that he is qual- ified and abundantly able to grapple with the heavy duties and responsibilities of the execu- tive Office of this city.” Mr. Francis Taverns said the Republican Cleb of this ward had passed resolutions to support no man for office who did not stand on their platform; to give preferr nce in thi fices to members of the: ward ciubs, &c. Sev- eral members vouched for Mr. Bowen as stand- ing on that plattorm. The call for the previous ion was carried unanimously, and the resolution was adopted. Mr. Francis Taverns d if it was understood that the delegates e » support Mr. Bowen and nobody else, T air replied in tue affirmative. Mr. John F. Cook ssid he understood that they were to support Mr. Bowen as long as there was any chance of nominating him, and if they failed then they were to support the next besi candi- date. (Applanse.] Great confusion here en- sued, and many left the room, while those who were left called for the reading of the printed record of Mr. Bowen. A motion to adjourn was put, and the Chair decided it carried, amid cries of «No, no.” and the assemblage dis- unt of the proceedings at this mv eting 1s not an exaggeration: on the contrary it conveys only # faint idea of the tumult whic prevailed at times, the president's pounding of the table with «beavy stick having no other eflect than to shake the reporters’ nerves and make their notes rath gible from the bob- bing about of their papers, and the pressing upon them of the noisy crowd in their vicinity. } SECOND WARD. NOISY MERTIN The Kepublicans of this ward assembled in the fourth story of Woodward's Building. At S o'clock there was quite a number preseut, who gathered in little knots about the room, and engaged their time in discussing the vital question of “who shall be Mayor!” The fol- lowing ticket, which had been industriously circulated, was also discussed, and 'h+ Mayor alty question seemed for a time to be torgoite each being anxious to know by whose auth ity certain of the names on the ticket w Rinced there-—Sidney McFarland, |(colored.) jarshall Brown, (colored,) Sinciair Burley, (colored.) G. A. Hall, (white,) Tho. E. Green. (colored.) Dr. Van Arnum, (white,) C. H. Pe- ters, (colored,) John Barker, (colored,) H. A. Hall, (white,) Joseph Brooks, (colored,) Jos Hitchcock. (white,) Edwd. Ambush, (colored, Frank Posey, (colored,) D. M. Kelsey, (color- ed,) Wm. Hill, (white.) The ticket was said to be composed of men who would vote for Mesers. Ptau, Crocker, and Richards on the first ballot. and would concentrate on Mr. Bowen on the second. About = o'clock the room being packed, Mr. Peters called the meeting to order, and on his motion Gen. Crocker was called to the chair. Mr. Ed. Ambush (colored) was elected secretary. Gen. Crocker stated that the object of the meeting was to elect fifteen delegates to the Mayoralty Convention and five delegates to the Executive Committee. He urged that there should be harmouy, and while each had a right to bis own views, he should yield the same to others. [Applause.) Mr. I. Ross (col- ore 1) moved that they proceed to select dele- gates rea roce. Mr. 'S. McFarland (colored) suggested that & committee be appointed to nominate delegates. Mr. David Curry (col- ored) opposed said motien, as all had come there as men with their righis, and should have asay. Mr. McFarland remarked that he mide this suggestion that there should be peace, but he would withdraw it if it was thought ‘that they could get along peaceably. The motion of Mr. Rose was adopted. Mr. Crocker here relinguished the chair to Mr. Ptau, President of the Ward Club, and members rose to their feet, nominating differ- ent persons, among them ©. H. Peters, J. W. Curry, Gen. Crocker, Isaiab Ross,and ina mo- ment, fully twenty persons were each bawling out a different name, while others were singing cut “one by one.” Finally, by the vigorous use of a gavel, which the Chair had substitu. ted tor a hammer, placed on the table im the early part of the evening, comparative order was obtained, and Mr.G. A. Hall moved that the vote be taken on each nomination separate- ly, the first being that of Mr. Peters, remarking “it you don’t want aman yote him down. it eu do want him yote him up.” Mr. James rooks, colored, moved that there should be a standing vote, every man for his choice. Mr. Hail insisted on his motion, amid cries of question, and it was agreed to. The Obair put the question on Mr. Peters nomination, and. it agreed to. Mr. Hull_—I nominate Sydney Mc- Farland.

A division was called for and amid cries of “We see it all.” the vote was quick thore enacted ia the inte Gonser in ser: at the the election Brooks, M. Brown, J. R. Ceontu, T. H. Hines, R. H. Booker, Samuel Proctor, (those not des- ignated as white being colored.) The announce- ment of these es was received with cries, “You've left Brooks name off,” “Ob, it's made pp,” &c. The Chair stated that there appeared to be a discrepancy, and said that his list was right, One speaker said it was impossible to keep @ correct list. Mr. Ambush defended himself from any changes made. He bad per- formed his duty, and the list he presented was he correct one, ‘He only wished that the pro) one should receive the nomination, and he would vote tor him. [A Voice.—“A man who will scratch Erooks name will scratch any one else.”"] A motion was here made to insert the names of James E. Wi and J. H. Brooks in the place of the two last names that are on the list. Mr, Crocker moved. that the list, as reported by the Secretary, be accepted. Mr. Giceon L. Walker advocated the adop. tion of the report of the secretary. Mr. John H. Brooks urged that the report be adopted. It was impossible {or the secretary to have done any better, and Yorty phonographers could not have made a correct report of it. The report ‘was adopted, amid applause. The representa- tion to the Executive Committee was appoint- ed, a8 follows: Col. H. A. Hall, Major James F. Waugh, Walker Lewis, John H. Brooks, and S.Proctor. Mr. Walker asked if the delegates could not beinstructed. McFarland.—Oh, no; that will engender bad feeling.’? After some further conversation, the meeting adjourned.

There were about sixty persons present, of whom about twenty were white. Among those present were City Surveyor Bliss, Alderman Elvans, Geo. Ma- son, ; and Judge Wright. The meeting was called to order at 8% o'clock, there being at this time about 125 present; Mr. N. H. Miller, ‘white,) president, in the chair, and Mr. L. P. illiams (white) secretary. Mr. Cook (white) Teported that the Executive Committee had done what they could. He had asked for a list of the white registered voters who were fuvor- able to the cause in the ward, but had not been able yetto getit. If they did not get that list, they could not estimate their strength in the ward. He understood thata majority of the Board of Registration refused to give any list of registered voters, although Brother Owen Thorn used one at his primary election. Mr. Cook (white) moved that fifteen delegates be selected. Mr. Renfrew moved that W. A. Cook, (white,) J. T. Johnson, (colored,) L. P. Williams, (white,) T. P. Bell, (colored.) N. H. Miller, (white,) A. Moore. S., R. Bond, (white,) James’ Coleman, M. Duffy, George and A. Hays (col’d) be selected as delegates. Mr. Philbrick didnot object to the names pre- sented. but thought tnat it was not the usual way of doing such things. Though the nomi- nations were m order, he wanted the members of the club to know that they could nominate Rho they pleased. He moved that, the nomi- nations be laid upon the taple; which was car- ried.

Elyaus and Judge Wright, the club adjourned. FOURTH WARD. A meeting of the Fourth Ward Republican Club was held last night, in the City Hall, J. H.Croseman in the Chair. The Chair, on opening the meeting. announced that the spe- cial object which called them together, was the | election of fifteen delegates to the Republican Mayoralty Nommating Convention, oad an in- vitation Was therefore extended to all Repub- licans ot the ward, not members ot the Club, to participate in the deliberations. W.H. Smith, colored, offered a resolution instructing whe Chair io appoint a committee of five, whose duty it shall be to propose filteen names, to be selected as delegates to the Conve mn. Th risolution was carried, and the Chair there- upon appointed Messrs, W. H. Smith, Patrick Crowley, W. B. Turpin, Palmer Briscoe, and | Major 5S. Morse, as said Commmittee. The Committee retired for consultation, and short- ly alter returned into the hall and reported the following names: Messrs. J. Sayles Brown, Wm. H. Smith, George Shanklin, J. H.Crane, W.H. Edinboro, Wm. S Moree, John H. John- son, Lafayette Jefferies, Martin Connor, Pal mer Briscoe, Daniel, Myers, Marcellus’ Wy, Robert Turl, Geo. W. Hatton, and Enoch Tot- ten. On motion, it was agreed to vote upon each nominee separately, when the fall list, as reported by the committer, was elected. x. Cronin offered @ resolution instructing the delegates to cast their votes for Mayor in the Nominating Convention for Mr. Sayles J. Bowen. and to use all honorable means to se- cure his nomination. George W. Hatton (col- cred) opposed the introduction of the resolu- Uon, and said that if it was adopted he should decline acting as a delegate. If went to the Convention he should insist upon doing so as 4 freeman, untrammeled by any istructions. The meeting would pay a very poor corapli- ment to their delegates by dictating how they should vote at the Convention, and should the resolution be adopted he would tell them that the yote by which they (the delegates) were | appoint d would have to ve reconsidered and other persons selected who weuld submit to be- ing tied up hand and fost. He for one would not bebound by any such proceeding. Mr. Cronin advocated the passage of the resolution. He considered himself as free and independent us any man, and denied that there would be y compromise of diguity by going to the Con- yention under instroctions. Mr, Bowen was the choice of the Republicans of the Fourth Ward, aud his zealous service demanded that such a compliment should be tendered bim. Mr. Turpin was a warm friend of Mr. Bowen, but deemed ic impolitic to foist any such in- structions mpon the delegates to the Convention as the resolution contemplated. Mr. J. Sayles Brown thought there could be no doubt of the fact that Mr. Bowen was almost the unanimous choice of the Fourth Ward Republicans for the Mayoralty, and he could not sev how they could do otherwise than support the resolution. He could not say, however, that he endorsed the exp diency of introducing the resolution. Mr. J. H. Crane offered as a substitute a resolution declaring Mr, Bowen as the first choice of the Fourth Ward Republican Clab for the Mayor- alty. The passage of this substitute resolution, he thought, would remove all objections, and and at the same time the delegates would feel that they would be consulting the wishes of their constituents by casting their ballots for Mr. Bowen. Mr. Cronin accepted the substi- tute, and it was unanimously adopted. Brief speeches were made by Mr. McKee, of Ken- tucky, and others; ‘which the meeting ad- journed, FIFTH WARD. The Republicans of the Fifth Ward met at the Ebenezer Church, corner of 4th street east and D street south; Ananias Herbert in the cbair, and A. P. Clark» secre! After pray erby Wm. H. Brown sr., the Secretary read the call for the meeting, and W. H. Brown, jr. offered a resolution providing that the manier ofelecting delegates should be vira roce, each delegate to be nominated and voted for sepa- rately by a rising vote, voters tostand until counted. and any nominee having a majority of the votes be elected. Sidmey Herbert offered an amendment providing that theplection be by tellers. After some discussion the following named persons were nominated: Major G. W. Welles, William H. Brown, sr., Samuel Wil- liams, Sidney W, Herbert, E. 5. Atkinson, Jo- seph Carroll, Major Van Buren, Wm. Barnes, James Liverpool, James Green, A. P. Clarke, Charles Jones, J. R. Arrison, B. N.

Marshal said it was unfair And ungenuemanly for one person to make more than one nomination. Wm. H. Brown, Jr., hoped the gentleman would be called to or- nd not be allowed to indulge in vitupera- tive epithets, Mr. Charles Jones declined, he did not think he was qualified to bea to the nominating convention. W. H. Brown, Jr., called the gentleman to air, He did not ‘want to b ‘sour speech. The Chair remind- ca Mr. ‘Brown that such nage was — liamentary.

This created laughter, at the expense of Perry, who his sept paring ee, eee im the man. Mr. W.C. M Mr, James Harrington ‘With living in the Seventh Ward. Harrington declared this to be a notorious falsehood. Basil Brown was astonished to hear such language in a church, if they were in a market-house he ‘would not be surprised, but if they conducted themselves in such a manner. they would not getthe church again. The Obair called the Meeting to order and stated the first business im order was to vote for the delegates. E. S. Atkinson moved to lay all the nominatioas on the table and renominate fifteen delegates. Rev. James Reed thought there never was a more critical time than at present, aud the ‘wisest and most practical men should be select- ed. He bad something at stake, dnd did not want to rush into an election blindly. Wm. H- Brown, Jr., did mot want to hear any old fog- gyism. A resolution was adopted by a yote of sixty-one to three, instructing the delegates to yote for Mr. S. J. Bowen as their first choice for Mayor. Messrs. B. N. Meeds, W. H. Brown, Jr., Annanias Herbert, Sidney Herbert and L. B.S. Miller were re-elected as delegates to the Central Executive Committee, and the club adjourned. SIXTH WARD. Delegates were elected in this ward at a meeting on Tuesday evening, as reported in yesterday’s STAR. SEVENTH WARD. A meeting of the Republican voters of the Seventh Ward was held last evening at Turner Hall, corner of 4% street and Maine avenue. Mr. F. A. Boswell was elected president of the meeting, and Mr. James Small secretary. The Chair stated that the meeting was called for the Purpose of electing delegates to the city nomi- mating Republican convention, and cautioned the meeting against electing men as delegates ‘who were not known. In the selection of del- egates the party should have men competent to combat charges against any patriot who might be Nominated at the nominating convention. | Mr. Reuben Bacon moved that the delezates as | nominated be voted upon separately. Mr. Wil- | Som moved to lay the motion on the table; which Was lost, and Mr. Bacon’s motion was carried. | Mr.A, Bowen moved that the con vention choose five white delegates and ten colored; carried. Mr, Bacon nominated asa delegate Mr. Henry M. Knight, who was elected. Mr. Bowen nom- inated Mr. iairray S. Baker as a delegate, who waselected. A. Dyson nominated KR.

Mr. Anthony Bowen moved that the delegates be instructed to yote “for | their best friend.” Sayles J. Bowen. for the Mayoralty. Mr. Walker asked if the delegat-s had been declared unanimously elected. The Chair said he bad so announced, but he did not take the negative vote on the question, sup- posing it not necessary. He said he would put the question again, which he did, and the vote | was ed. 8Mr. Seldon moved to lay Mr. Bowen's motion on the table; which was lost, and Mr. Bowen said the reason he had made | this motion was, that Sayles J. Bowen had done more for the education of the col- ored men’s children than other man within twenty miles round. He was the man who drew up the bill which allows the colored men to collect the money due them. He was doing and had done much for the col- | ored people, und they owed him a great debt of gratitude: «and will you men of my race now | stand back from the man who has done all in his power for the education of your children !* Several vo.ces.—«No, never.” Mr. Sullivan, colored, said he did not like to see a wagon all one sided, and he thought the delegates elected knew their business, and should not be re- ricted, but from what he knew of Mr. Bowen, was a good man. The motion of Mr. An- thony Bowen was then carried, The follow- ing were elected as delegates to represent the ward in the General Committee :—James Col- lins, Jas. L. N. Bowen, Jas.
