Mr. Johm T, Given Nominated for Ma; Last evening, the Anti-Radical Nominating Convention, which adjourned over frem Mon- day night week, assembled at Trades’ Union Hall, for the purpose ef balloting fora candi- date for Mayor, and long before the hour for assembling, parties commenced gathering in the neighborhood, earnestly discussing the merits of the gentlemen who had been named in connection au = eee Gah delegates were frequently button-holed as sed through the crowd on their way to the fall. By eighto'clock most of the delegates were in their places, and the hall was literally jammed by 45 ‘tators. About five minutes t the hour, Dr. Wm. B. Magroder called tre ‘on vention to order and requested the Secretary to call the roll of delegates, which was done, und all were fourd present except Messrs. Gu- lick, of the Fifth Ward, and Clark, ot the Sev- enth. Col.Tait presented the credentials of Andrew P, McKenna, im place of Mr. Gulick, and his name wasentered as a delegate. Dr. Allen stated that the Seventh Ward delegation bad named Mr. W. H. McGinnis as a de! te in place of Mr. Clark, and he was received. ‘ne Chair announced that he was awaiting a motion; when Mr. James Barker moved that nominations be received; which prevailed. Mr. Wright nominated Thos. E. Lloyd, of the Seyegth Ward; Mr. Nailor, John T. Given, of the ird Ward: Mr. Boiseau, G@. A. Bobrer, of the Sixth Ward; Mr. Carroll, Col. James R. O'Beirne, of the First Ward; Mr. Acker, Rich- ard Wallach, of the Fourth Ward; Mr. Jillard, Jonah D. Hoover; Col. Tait, Mr. George F. Gulick. When Mr. Wallach’s name was men- tioned Col. Tait said that he had authority for saying that Mr. Wallach was not, nor would he be, a candidate, and requested the secretary to read the following letter: Wastinerox, D. C., May 4, 1568.—My Dear Sir The action of the Senate of the United States, im endeavoring, at a sacrifice of the dignity, importance, and usefulness of the of- fice pt the ‘Meayor of this city, to insure for a me in this community a supremacy of those in political sympathy with a ror | of that + by incorporating into the bill lately passed to extend the charter of the city a pro« vision transterring from the Mayor to the two Beards of the City Councils, in joint meeting, the selection of all the subordinate officers of the Corporation, determined me to retire from my present position at the expiration of my present term. While it might not be objection- able to one who has not filled the office, under different and more agreeavle circumstances, it is certainly less desirable to those who have held itm its plentitude of power, when sherr. of its patronage and power, to protect the cor- poration against the maifeasance or misfea- sance of dishonest or inefficient officers. No consideration other than that it was absolutely essential to success in the approaching mu- nicipal election could induce me to forgo that determination and permit my name to be again used im the connection with the of- fice to which I haye so often been elevated by the partiality of my fellow-citizens, and which I have so long enjoyed under circum- stances more agreeable to the incumbent than ever will probably occur again. Being well satisfied that it is “not essential, and that some one of the many gentlemen whose names are mentioned in connection with the mayoraity can combine as many. if not more elements of strength than mysels, I am impelled, after very mature regection, by % sense of propriety coupled with an ardent wish to engender the barmony and concert of action £6 indispensib!2 to success—and without which defeat will evi- dently follow—to ask, should my name be pre- sented to the convention, that you immediately withdraw it. It is so manifestly important that considerations of personal preferments j should not be permitted to be obtruded in a crisis like the present, in those who are to make the election of a candidate, and that private interests should be postponed to the common good, that I feel assured this course of action on 1n¥ part will meet the approbation of my particular friends, and be properly appreciated by the convention and those they represent. Very respectiully, Ricuary WaLLAcH. James A. Toit, Esq. When the name of Mr. Hoover was proposed the Chair read the following letter: Wasnineton City, May 12, 1s68—Dr WB. Magrwier, President of Nominating Conven- won.— My Dear Sir: Aware that my name has been mentioned in connection with the Mayor- | aity, and of the fact that it may be presented to the consideration of the nominating conven- tion to-night, may 1 ask you, in the latter event, to withdraw it,and to say that I have always declined to be and am not now a candi- | date for that office. Be pleased also to express tomy friends who would conter upon me this high honor, my thanks for their appreciation and regard. The election will be an important | One, and the whole country will regard its re- sult withideep interest. I trust, therefore, that the convention will appreciate the necessity of selecting d candidate upon whom we can all rally harmoniously and zealously, and prove & Worthy and faithful rep-esentative of the in- teresis of the city of Wa: hington in that high position. With the highes: consideration I am | Yery truly your tnend, ac. Jonan D. Hoover, Dr. Allen moved that the yote be cia voce; which was agreed to. Mr. Delton offered the following : Whereas the rale of the Democratic party in convention for the nomination of candidates for the Presidency, since the year 1540, has been to require « two-thirds vote of the whole body to nominate and declare who shall be thestand- ard-bearer of its principles; and whereas the maintenance of this rule has been productive of the most harmonious and satisfactory results Be it therefore— Rewived. Believing and maintaining the time- honored usages ot the party, do adopt the same rule im determining and declaring who shall be the nominee of this convention of the May- eralty of this city to be voted for on the first Monday in June next, and that he who re- ceives two-thirds of the voters of this conven. tion be, and is hereby, declared to be its unani- mus choice, The yeas and nays were called, and the reso- lution” adopted—Yeas, 24; nays, 16—Messrs.

Dr. Allen moved that the committee continue until the next con- vention; carried, Mr. McGinness moved that the Chairman be requested to preside at the next meeting, so that we may have order, if he is living. The Chair hoped that he would be living. [Laughter.] Ge ‘ugh Cameron was called on, and ad- dressed the Conveation, in the course of his remarks saying that an anti-Radical victor: ‘was of more importance than was at first sap- ed. The prospects of the acquittal of the xecutive makes wt feel gratified and cheer- ful, and he had no doubt that it would give an impalse to the business of this city and the country.

Carry your enthusiasm to the polls, work and bring out your men, and you will have success. He was satisfied’ that the property holders should have something to say as to the goverment of the city, and he knew that they did not intend te yield their rights. [Cries of “No.”*] The other candidate ‘was aman of practicability, who can fill six diflerent offices at one time. He wanted an Anti-Radical victory, and he would hold the party responsible if they did not secure one, The Chair (Dr. Magruder) said he had come to the meeting sick. and was afraid that he would not get through with it, but the good feeling he had witnessed had made him well. He bad been told that Ir. Bowen filled five or six different offices, lapped out of six plates at once, but he was not the worst of that party, for there were some of his friends in Congress ‘who could do the same thing—go towards Fort Fisher, and plan the Great Bethel expedition; at another time, in New Orleans, he was look- ing after the spoons. Recently, some inter- esting portions of a report, which had bees locked up in the War Department had bee made public by which this personage not only held intercourse with rebels,through his agent=, selling them medicines, é&c., but he insisted that they should sell him cotton. He saw lots of men in the Anti-Radical party who had sacrificed their business, &c.,for the nion, but they did not make a boast of it. The candi- date they bad chosen presents claims to your support, aud he urged that they now go to work and elect him. Dr. Allen then addressed the meeting, and at the close of his remarks the committee return- ed with Mr. Given, and he was escorted to the President's chair, where he was seated; and Col. Tait, on behalf of the committe, stated that they a formed the duty assigned them, and Mr. m bad presented them with the following letter of acceptance, which was read to the Convention by their Secretary: Wasuinctor, D. C., May 12, 1=65.—Dr, Wil- liam B. Magruder, President of the Conservative Nominating Convention.—Dear Sir: 1 desire to express through you to the members of the Conservative Convention my heartfelt thanks for the very distinguished honor conferred in selecting me as their candidate for the Mayor- alty of this city. In accepting this nomination, allow me to ‘add that I have been repeatedly requested that my name should not be used in this Convention, as many of the gentlemen somposing the Convention are already aware. Yet I have at the same time fully realized the duty of every good citizen in the present ¢xi- gency of our affairs to forego all personal or private considerations. Acting under these in- fluences I bave felt constrained to accede to whatever inight be your wishes in this impor- tant matter, only desiring, should your nomi- nation be ratified at the polls, thai my record of the past may be accepted as the best criterion of my future action. It is a source of pleasure to me to feel that I will go betore the people untrammelied and unpledged, whilst it shall be my earnest endeavor (if elected) to adminis- ter the duties of the office without tear or favor, and in accordance with the spirit as well as the letter of the law, and with an eye single to the best interest of the city, Please accept tor yourself the kind regards of, yours truly, Joun T. Given. The reading of the letter was received with loud applause by the audience, and loud cries were heard for «(diven ! Given!” Dr. Magruder, in a few well selected words, imtrodaced Mr. Given to the audience, who re- ceived bim with loud expressions of applause. Mr. Given, m addressing bis friends and fellow-citizens, said that they had already been informed in bis communication to the president that it was with some degree of hesitation he had given his assent to his name being brought before the Convention. In times like these, it is demanded of every good citizen to sacrifice time, talent, and money to the public welfare. and with this view of the state of affairs at present existing in this city he had felt it his duty to bow to the will of bis fellow-citizens. Wat means this uprising of the white people of the city of Washngton! He thanked God that he, as an humble member of this commu- nity, had lived to see his fellow-eitizens unite in this great cause. He began to realize that the white people of Washington had arisen in ther might, and indignantly snapping the withes which for the past year has bound them, stand forth in their dignity and manhood to deny the right of g tyrannicai tactéon to rule them. "He had herelofere been honored by the people of this city with positions in’ this Corporation, and was the unworthy re- cipient of the esteem and confidence and the magnanimous suffrage of the people of Washington, the place where he was born, reared, and had resided all his life. We bave embarked ina great enterprise, in a cause worthy our noblest aspirations, and the only way we can expect and hope for success 1s that every man, every white man, shall {eel the weighty responsibility which rests upon his own shoulders, To achieve success in this campaign will require upon the part of many & sacrifice of time, money, and talent; but is not the cause worthy of the effort? Shall we bow down to the tyranny of the faction which seeks to rule us; or shall we stand up like men, And go forward nobly to work for the cause which we have espoused!’ We have been re- minded within the last few days that unless we submit to this rule, unless th ; incorrupuble and unbribable faction obtain supremacy, Con- gtess will refuse to grant any appropriations to aid the city in the work of improvement, He deemed such an assertion a libel upon Con- gress—a libel upon the intelligence and grne- Tosity of that august body. He deemed it the duty of the white men of the city of Washing- ton to prove to Congress and the country that our citizens have been misrepresented to them by a horde of miserable tricksters and dema- gogues. In no city of the nation has there been & purer love ef country developed, or a more Jaw-abiding community than in Washington. Mr. Given counselled concert and harmony among the citizens if they desired to achieve ecess. Let us go forward as a unit, as one man, to attain the result expected. Little per- sonal feelings must be sacrificed to the public good. He made this appeal to the people for the sake of the cause in which we are engaged, not for any personal reasons; but, burying all past differences, we must strive te conquer. The white men must come up to the work without regard to party; the ic and Constitution loving people of country expect every ‘Washingtonian to do his duty. The sentiment led audien: he would give to the ce Was, “A union of the citizens of Washingtor for the sake of the city.” ‘Actuated by these gen erous sentiments, oar success is certain, beyond peradventure, Let us thai after the first Monday June next we will breathe freer than we have for years past; that we have been saved from the tyranny of a'base taction. pecitol attention by thelarge audience prec 5) fol attent au ee pres ent.

PiGeneral Amasa Cobb, of Wisconsin, was then introduced to the meeting. He said he Was one of those who would not give up the battle, for he had great faith that right would prevail, and the present impediment to peace and quiet beremoved. But they must remem- ber that every good cause has had its Judases and its Arnolds, and they could console them- selves that these treacheries might be the means in the bends of a Divins Providence, to serve agood end. Allthey nad to do was to look to the General who there led them on to victory, and to make him their standard-bearer, and elect him in November next. General Samuel McKee, of Ky., also ad- dressed the meeting. Serater Wilson was next introduced, and said he was very glad to look into the grave faces of the audience and partake of their inspiration. Something had been said of en- couragement and discouragement, but he said they had nothing to be discouraged about. He would say to them that to the Union-loving men there was no such word as failure. Through the beach four years of the war the soldiers had fought the ‘battles, and he had helped to pass war measures in Congress, and that body would not go back on their measures any more than the soldier would upon his battles. They had battles to fight in Congress as well as the soldier had in the field. They were about to enter upon another campaign, and in bis judgment it was to be a crowning campaign, “and when we shall haye succeeded, whoever shall stagger into power hereafter will not dare to undo What we have done.” They would hayeaseverestruggle this year. They had to meet beiore the people of the country nien of capacity and experience. He w%s among the men that haye never doubted triumph, in spite of the efforts of the President. Their policy of reconstruction was, as their friends would say at Chicago, an accomplished fact, and a tri- umph. The Republican party had done more for Itterty, civilization, and humanity than any other party that ever existed. He predict- ed that Ger. Grant would receive the support of three-fourths of the voters. He would, be elected President, and they would haye the country in the hands of the men who had fought for it, and who would vote as they fonght. Senator Tipton, of Nebraska, next spoke, and was followed b; Gen. Warner, of Alabama, who said he was from Ohio, but had gone to Alabama to help in making ita loyal State. The soldiers did not feel that their work was accomplished until the Southern States were back into the Union. They would prove to the world then that they had not laid 300,000 of their number in their graves in vain. This work would be done de- spite the President and traitors in Congress. The committee appointed to nominate dele- gates reported as follows Delegates—Gen. N. P. Chipman, Col. Timo- thy Lubey. S. R. Harrington, Major Jas. T. Smith, Gen. Wm. Brown, Col. Richard Mid- dleton, Col. D. S, Curtiss, Capt. William B. Prowne, Major L. B. Cutter. Mayer George W. Nairs, Sergeant T. H. Hawkins, Major W.S. Morse, Private W. H. Short, Col. H. G. Otis, Capt. A.

Charles B Fichere. ‘The report was adopted and the delegates elected. ‘A preamble and resolutions were adopted. That we renew our bari forGeneral U. S. Grant, as the candidate of the Republican party for the next Presidency. That upon the success of the principles of the Republican party, depends the the prosperity and bappi- hess of this people. That we recommend to the Convention to be held, the calling of a national mass convention of soldiers and sailors, to as- semble at some central point during September next, &e. Generals W. B. Stokes, of Tennessee, was introduced and said, they did not intend te quit the fight until successful, If the opposi- tion cry out “war,” reply that “we are ready if you want war.” This country is ours, and these copperheads ought to thank God that we permit them to live. Gen. George D. Vickers offered the follow- ing, which was adopted: Resolved, That Andrew Johnson stands con- victed, by his own answer to the impeachment articles, of wilful disobedience to the laws he swore he would take care should be faithfully executed; that in his miserable pretence of being governed by good motives, in claiming the right to dispense, at his own will, with such of the laws of the land as are distasteful to him, we see but a feeble imitation of the destroyers and assassins of the peoples’ rights in all times; and that any United States Sena- tor elected by loyal votes who declares for ac- ‘uittal will be guilty of a di of perfidy to the country, not likely to accounted for among those who fought for the nation against its enemies in any other manner than by at- tributing it to influences other than those which should control the action of honorable Senators of the United States. ‘The meeting then adjourned. Heald’s brass band was present and played several national airs during the evening. i Sixth Ward Radical Club, A meeting of the Sixth Ward Republican Club was held last night. William Hudson, Richard T. Johnson, Wm. Price, John Love- joy, and in Van Horn were proposed and elected as members of the clab. The com- |. O. W. ¢ idermen submitted the following, which were read and recommended to the consideration of the club for one week, at whieh ime next Friday ni! which poe bras Es Sayles J. Bowen, the nom- inee for the Mayoralty, was expected te make an address. On motion, it was agreed to raise, at an early day, a campaign yrole, to be erected at the cor~ ner of Visgwia avenue and 10th Temarked in re- wide y to an persisted in of his race “niggers” whenever alluding to them, made an animated speech of about twenty minutes’ duration, in the course of which he dealt party. He claimed that they had been mate- rially benefitted by white Republican victories. Four miltion of them had in addition, any any nigger who wouldn't vote now be hung. The speaker next cautioned his brethren not to put toomuch confidence in those of their own color whom a not know: for, said he, there are many Democrats among them, like Sam Gant, who acted traitor last year, and went back on them. Some nig- geTs are not to be trusted, as well as some white m™m Inc paid a high tribute to Mr. wen, the nominee for the Mayoralty, and white ublican leaders generally; denounced the Anti-Radicals, and extolled tie Declaration of Independence (which, he said, made all men equal) as one of the greatest doc- uments ever written, and the authorship of which he ascribed to Gen. Geo. Washington. Mr. Langley offered a resolution setting aside next Tuesday night for the nomination of a ward ticket for the Board of Aldermen and Common Council, and instracting the secre- tary to invite all true Union Repablionss, to attend and assist in selecting candidates. Mr. Lathrop moved to amend by inserting “Radi- cals” instead of “Republicans.” Mr. White opposed the amendment. The name of Radical had never been acknowledged by the Republi- can party. It was acognomen applied to them by the thundering locofocos, and if they adopt- ed it they would drive off three hundred voters in the ward, who would otherwise go with them. A couple of colored men favored the amendment, as also did Mr. Sims (white), who claimed that all anti-Radicals claimed to be Republicans. Mike Shinar (colored) defined the word “radical” to mean “the setting up a tabernacle ourselves,” and he therefore the amendment would pass. Messrs. White and Edwards warmly opposed the amendment, and predicted a Waterloo defeat of the Repub- licans at the coming municipal election, should it be adopted. Under the head of Republican. ism success was certain. Mr. Lathrop earnest- ly contended for his amendment. ie was a dical, and sink or swim, had no idea of sail. ing under false colors. The amendment was subsequently withdrawn, and then the resolu- tion was adopted. A colored member undertook to explain to colored new-comers to the city their duty, and to remind them what the old residents had fered from, when he was interrupted by two colored men, named Gaines and Barbour, who said they did not want any advice from old residents. Messrs. White and Ferrell, whites, and Gaines, colored, were appointed a commit- tee to act in conjunction with a similar com- mitiee the Fifth Ward Club in making arrangements for attending the ratification meeting-on Friday night, in front ot the City Hall. On motion, the resolution providing for a meeting on Tuesday night, for nominatingan Alderman and Common Uouncilmen, was or- dered to be published in the EvEnine Star.

The report of the Committee on the Z Standard Was read and adopted. The Committee on Lay Delegates reported that the credentials of J. M. Johnson were cor- rect, and he was thereupon invited toa seat ‘within the bar, The Commiitee on Railroads reported that the President of the Richmond and Fredericks- burg Railroad had agreed to pass all the mem- bers on their return home over his road tree of charge. Elder W. P. Rider, of Wesley Zion Church, proposed an amendinent tothe Discipline iu regard to marriage and divorce; which was re- ferred to Committee on Revision. The Committee on Church Statistics report- ¢ 164,000 members of the church in the United States, $17 ministers, 61,500 Sunday school scho!- ars, 13,000 teachers; amount of lections during four years, total val- ustion of church property, $11,000,000, Theannual Episcopal address was read by Superintendent Talbott; at the conclusion of which the Superintendent arose and addressed the Conference, stating that this was the eley- enth General Conference he had attended in official connection and hud been forty-three ears in the ministry, and thatnow he resigned iis position as said Superintendent; but that be was, and would continue to be to the ead of his life an itinerant minister. There was 0 such thing with him as locat, he being called of God to go and not to stay, and that in his Superintendency of sixteen years he had acted to the best of his ability in the discharge of his duty. The Union’of the two Colored Churches was in his opinion as essential now as it was at the last session of the body in I-64. It was really necessary; and it afforded him pleasure to inform the Conferences that a majority of male members and annual Conferences have ratified the same. An animated discussion arose as to the con- cluding clause of the Bishop's addre-s, whether iy was @resignation or not; when, finally, the whole matter was referred to composed of Elders 8. T. Jones, dever, and J. P. Harmer. ‘The Conterence then took a recess. ——— Mam. Ropeery—arrest of the Alle trators.—About & month since, Mr. W. S. Sump- son, of the Keystone farm, near Fort Washing- ton, found on the shore of his place a quantity of letters, checks, &c., and reported the fact to Major Richards, Superintendent of Police, who assigned the case to Detectives MeDey and Thompson. These officers prompdy com- municated the fact to the Post Office Depart- ment. and called in Mr.Frederick Depro, special agent, to assist them. On a close investigation, these officers became satisfied that a route agent named W. J. Lee, on the Southern boat, knew something of the matter, tor the postmarks ot the letters showed ‘that they arrived here to go down on the boat when Ler was on duty, and he had been spending more money than his salary woula allow. Yesterday it was arranged that Mr. McDevitt should go down and return on the boat, and he aecordingly last night was on the boat, where he secreted himself in a room adjoining the mail room, and bectme better sutisfied that he Wes aiter the right man. Accordingly he ar- rested Lee on his arrival here, and took him to police headquarters, where he had a hearing before Mayor Richards, who holds bim in de- fault of $5,000 bail. It appears that Lee had a bracs key made with which he opened the through pouches, and this morning he took out twelve or more letters, from which he got about $10. These officers have already re- covered drafts amounting to thirty or forty thou. and dollars, drawn in fayor of southern firms for cotton. The officers deserve credit for the manner of working up this case, tg Tuk TURNER Fest Tu1s YEAR.—The Wash- ington Turn Verein proposes to give a grand Turner Fest this year, which will take place in the early ent of July, and continue four days.
