W. R. Woodward, of the Trustees: Z. Richards, + the Board of Aldermen, and Jno. E. Thomp- son, J. W. Hunt and S. John Thomson, wach- ers; J. H. Daniel, teacher of music, and a pumber of lady teachers, The meeting was ealled to order by S. John Thomson, temporary airman, with J. W. Huntas secretary. Mr. jenn E. Thom; said ne had an interview with Mayor Wallach, who thought injustice ad been done him by the teachers at their late meeting, as he had done all he could in bebaif ef tbe teachers: but that the matter of blame be- Jonged to the Register. as he claimed to decide when and how the money belonging to the sehool fund should be paid. Mr.T. then read the following from the Mayor: Mayor's Orrice, City Hatt, Wasarne- Tow, D C., May 11, 1865.—Mecsrs. Ino. E. ye sen, Wo. H. Mirick and John W. Hunt—Gentle- men: I bave no reply to make to the resolu. liens adopted at a meeting of the teachers of public schools, this day trausmitwd me hy you, other than to reiterate a fact with which ihey and you should be familiar, that the Cor- poration bas always given the preference to the teachers of its public schools in the pay- mento! their salaries, invariably postponing the claims of its other creditors. { no time during the present year has this Corporation been, so far as rested with the Mayor, either unable or unwilling to meet promptly on the first of each and every month whatever was due to the teachers of public schools, respectfully, Richi aARD WALLACH, Mayor. Mr. J. W. Hunt said he bad visited the coun- cilmen, and they expressed a disposition to act ‘well by thé teachers. Mr. Z Richards said he was willing, as an Alderms ., to do all in bis power to relieve the Schoo! teachers. The Corporation is without money, aud that is the difficulty in teachers not receiving their pay. He believed, on next Mon- aay night, that a bill would be matured that ‘would meet the approval of the Mayor and the Register. ap it was his opinion that the teach- ers would receive enceuragement after Monday Bight by the action of the Coencil: but if 20 relief was afforded. he advised them to take the Most summary course. Mr. Woodward remarked that he hoped the Alderman would do all in bis power to secure & full school tax, which would not increase general taxation. If something is not done speedily, be saw no other alternative than to close the schools, which was much to be re- gTetted, if it should come to that. Mr. Richards said be was in favor of the money being placed in the bands of the schoo! trust ject to their order. He referred to the bill now before the Aldermen, looking to the asking of an appropriation of 850,000 from Congress for school purposes, and he hoped, if any of the teachers bad any influence with Congress, that they would use it im that be- half, and that they would also “lobby” the vill mow in the Board of Common Council—not go to the Chamber, but to the houses of the mem- bers, and urge them to pass it. Mr. J. E. Thompsom said b« favored Alder- man Moore’s proposition to rise $44.00 to pay the teachers tor the scholastic year. He, there- fore. hoped that the teachers would express themselves favorable to that proposition, and Pass 4 yore of thanks to Alderman Moore. The Chair said he regretted that the Mayor should have take any umbrage at the resoln- | tions adopted at the former meeting, as it was | qybrestly intended not to attach any diame to Mayor Wallach for delay in the payment of teachers. He felt that the Mayo: is in sym- pathy with the teachers. snd aat the mem- bers of both branches of the Council were ta- Yorably to them, and that the teachers must move now. as there will shortly be a new city | governmen’, and the incomers may not be so fa- vorabie dispesed to the school system and the teachers as the present members. He, therefore, Urged that the teachers call on Members, and endeavor to get them to pass the (@ll now under consideration.

It was with regret that he Py dip motion of Mr. Stewart voted down; for he thought the mos: proper ‘and ex- editions way of disposing of the business be- ae mecting was to int a committee and let them bring in a list of names. Charles E. Peters (colored) coimcided with the views of Mr. Walker, and submitted a resolution similar to offered by Mr. Si call- ing for & committee of seven. Joseph Brooks (colored) thought the meeting fully com- Retent to make. its own “nominations. les 8 alker, White and Ross (colored) ar gued against the objection of Mr. Brooks, and were followed by Mr. Peters, who earnestly advocated the appointment of a committee by che Uhair, as the best means of sustaining the Republican party and serving the wishes of he meeting. The resolution was adopted, and he Chair appointed the following committee : CH. Peters, Sidney Macfarland, Jotun H. Brown, R. H. Booker, Henr: Lg af Walker Lewis, (colored,) and Major H.H. Hall (white), During the absence ot the committee Mr. Kel- sey, at the instance of the meeting, took the stand, and delivered an address iu advocacy of Kepublican principles. It filled his heart with joy to appear in so crowded a meeting of Black epublicans, and in this enthusiastic demon- stration there was an unmistakable augury of success. The loyal people all over the United States looked to the sable sons ef Africa to bear their standard aloft to victory allover America, and particularly at the coming municipal elec. tion in Washington. The committee then returned and submitted the following report: For Alderman, General Jobn* S. Crocker. For Common Council, Messrs. J. L. P’iau, Wm. Rutherford, and W_ H. Chase. Mr. Pfau declined the nominatioy, as he did not wish to be re-elected to the Cour- cil. He hoped his friend, D. M. Kelsey, would be substituted in bis place. Mr. Kelsey was then substituted for Mr. Pfau. TheOhair was about putting the nomination of Gen. Crocker for Alderman to the meeting, when Mr. Kelsey claimed the right to make other nominations, and thereupon presented the name of Mr. J.L. Piau as Alderman. The question was about being put upon the nomination of Gen. Crocker, (his election to be decided by arising vote,) when Mr. Ptau contended that the proceedings Was out of order, as thereby the implied con- struction would be that the report mus/ be voted upon without giving the meeting the power to consider outside nominations. He concluded by offering a resolution that such further names for the two Boards as were notembraced in the Teport be considered. Mir. Peters (colored) expressed surprise at the construction which Mr. Pfau had given the English isnguage, as applied to his reso- lution. He said that the committee had calmly weighed the character of the candidates they had put forth, and were fully competent to de- cide who should be their representatives. It had been decided to vote upon the first nomi nation of the committee, and he boped tae question would be adhered to. Major Hall earnestly advocated the adoption of ihe com- mittee’s report, and contended that the first uestion sheuld be upon the nomination of en. Crocker. Mr.C. R. Jones desired to ap- peal from the decision of the Ohair, which was that the report was the only subject under con- sideration. He contended that 11 was perfectly proper to make any other nominations th: the meeting might think proper. Mr. Kelsey took the floor in opposition to the previous question on the report of the committee, and Was proceeding to address the meeting thereon, when he was interrupted by Mr. Gideon Wal. ker in a manner which called forth a sharp re- tort from Mr. Kelsey, who said that be would not be dictated to by him or gagged by any one. ps ensued great contusion all over the ouse, during Which inquiries were made. “Where did that man (Walker) come trom !” He had better always be a stranger !” ee) Silence having been restored, Mr. Gideon Walker again obtained the floor, and animad- verted severelypupon the conduct of disap- Pointed white aspirants for position. Facing Mr. Kelsey, he said, «Iam a stranger here, but have the interest of the Republican party at heert. Because that man is disappointed in getting bis favorite before” [Here the wild- est excitement ensued, and denunciations of Mr. Walker were heard in every direction, above which Mr. Kelsey was uuderstood to “I hurl the imputation of the person (Mr. er) back with indignation. He claims to siranger, and it would probably be to the Stot the Republicaa party if be would always remain so.”) After vigorous gesticula- tion and exercise of lungs, Joseph Brooks (col- ored) obtained the floor, and appealed to the meeting as rational men to curb their temper and attend to its legitimate object. Conduct becoming only in crazy men had been enacted, which, he hoped, would now cease. “I move that we go into the nomination of General Crocker for Alderman.” Mr. Brooks’ suggestion was not considered. and the Chair was about putting the motion of Sppeal from his decision, submitted by Mr Piau, when some one cried to him. “Oh, hush !” to which he retorted, “You keep order. sir; knew what I'm about.” Taking ap his remarks, he attempted aguin to state the ap- peal: but was interrupted by Sidney Macfar- and, (colored) to whom he (the Chair) replied. You take your seat. and hush your mouth.’ The wildest confusion now ensned, and a hundred voices were heard in all directions, calling for +(uestion,” “Order,” “I move we adjourn,” “You're a liar,” &c., during which the chairman was industriousiy appealing to the meeting to keep order, and whacking the table with a gold-headed ‘cane. Finally the troubled waters were somewhat calmed, when T.E. Green moved that the whole report of the committee be Iaid on the table This motion the Chair refused to consider, as a motion for the adoption of the report seriatim was then pending. At this juncture another outburst of disorder occurred, during which Mr. Brooks demanded a vote upon his nomination of General Crocker. The Chair took the question upon the reso- lution of Mr. Pfau, to make outside nomina- tions, which was lost. A standing vote was then taken on the nomination of General Johu S. Crocker, which was carried with buzza:, only three or four rising when the negatives were called for. Thomas FE. Green, a colored negative voter—«“Mr. Chairman, [ heard a Voice sayingykick him out. Now, it that wa; meant for me, I°ll say it takes a man to do it.” A voice—“The Fourth Ward Democratic meet- ing was a prayer meeting compared with this.” ‘The Chairstated the next business in order to be the nomination of candidates for the Com- mon Council, and said that upon these nomi- nations he desired to make a few remarks. The colored race were the bona fide Republican par- ty, and should receive some consideration at the approaching election. He himself.although a colored man, bprofessed to be equal to any other man, and claimed the same for his breth- ren, The interest of the party and common justice dictated the expediency of putung a col- ored man on the ticket, and, if no one else did it he should nominate Professor Wilson, of the Freedmen’s Savings Bank, as a candidate for the Council. Lewis Wallace, (colored.}—“No! no! he is not a citizen and I'll be d—d if 1 vote for him.” [Cries of “Order! order!” “I move we adjourn!” and deafening confusion gene- r. Peters, (colored,) amid the wildest con- fusion, made a speech in favor of Professor Wilson. After considerable effort, compara- tive order was restored. when Mr. Miller nom- inated W. H. Chase, who was ehosen unani- mously. Mr. Rutherford was nomiaated and chosen 4s the second man on the ticket. For the third candidate for the Council, Messrs. Kelsey, Hall, Boyd, and others were put in nomination; but before the vote was taken, Mr. Piau obtained the floor and earnestly contended for the nominatien of some eoloredjman, Thr Tights of the colored man should be respected. Lewis Wallace (interrupting.)—“Ob, shut up your d—d stuff.” The Chair said Mr. Pfau should be proteceted from insults. Sidney Macfarland (colored) disappoved of the nomi- nation of any col Person at this time. The ume had not yet arrived when such a step could do either the party or the colored race any good. . Walker obtained the floor, but was interrupted in his remarks by Lewis Wal- lace; whereupon he called him (Wallace) to order, as he did not rise and address the Chair recog! me or not. Whoare you? 1°ll slap your mouth.” Major Hall thought the question which bad been sprung was a very imporiant one, and should be eg . He would put the question “Will you consent to uta colored man in the field ‘at this time !"* ‘Cries of “Yes!” “Yes!” “No!” “I nominate jonsense.

Last evening & meeting of the Repuolican Club of the Seventh Ward was held at Turner Hall, corner of 4% street and Maine avenue, for the purpose of nominating a ward ticket. The voters came in slowly, and it was nearly mine o'clock before the meeting was called io order, when there were present about one hun- dred and fitty persons, white and colored. Mr. A. Boswell called the meeting to order, and ‘ajor H. A. Myers was called tothe chair. James Collins (colored) was appointed secre- tary. Mr. Reuben Bacon moved that th> nomina- tions be postponed for two weeks (te \ednes- day before election) and he noticed the fact that the voters of the Ward were not in force at this meeting asa reason why the nomina- tions should not be made. Abraham Dyson {ectorea) objected to a jponement, say t the Wishes of men who did not take enon; interest in the matter to be present onght not to be consulted. W. O. Johason (col.,) moved that a Committee of five be appointed to select & ticket to be reported at the adjourned meet- mg. Mr. A. Watson objected to the appoint- ment of acommitteee for this purpose: it was not Republican, and he was opposed to any “ringing.” Mr. ©, S. Bates rose toa point of order and that was “would the gentlemen sup- portthe ticket!” Br. Watson replied that he would, for he never voted a Democratic ticket in bis hfe. Mr Bates —«Will apport the candidate for Mayor! Mr. Watson.—“I will not answer that question; will you support the ticket?” Mr. Bates.—“O-h-h, that is the talk! Rey. A. Bowen (colored) offered the tollowing substitute for Mr. Bacon’s motion: Whereas, we the colored citizens of the Sey- enth Ward, claim the right to offer one or more of our race, for the suffr: ofthis ward, but doubt the expediency of doing so at the pres- ent time; butdo claim the right to designate our choice from the ranks of our white fellow- citizens, Therefore, Resoived, That the following named gentle. men be and they are hereby designated as our choice for ward officers, te be voted for at tue ensuing election, the first Monday in June, next, 1565. Messrs. S. S. Baker, Alderman, two years: Wm. Bamberger, Alderman, one year: H. M. Knight, U. F. Bates, J. R. Pearce, Councilmen; Peter Hepburn, Assessor. Mr. Bates“ I will now answer the ques- tion Mr. Boswell.—“ You are not im order.” The Chair put the question on Mr. Bowen's substitute, and it was adopted—there being probably twenty noes. Mr. Bowen addressed the meeting, saying that the parties named were true and tried men. As colored men they did not ask office; they were not prepared for them yet: but they asked the privilege of naming their rulers, They, however.will ask a share of work, and it would be time enough when they became educated to talk of running some of their own color. 1t was not politic now to name colored men for Council, for there were prejudices to overcome yet, and these men they jad confidence in, and they would stand up as @ barrier between them and these prejudices. ©.N. Marshall (colored) said there was one name on the list he could not vote for, because he had heard that the person voted against suftrage. He could not yote for any man wio so voted. [Voices—“Name him.”} His name is Hepburn. Mr. Peter Hepburn replied that so far as he was concerned the statement was Bewen (Odlered) . Whitey: A Sayles J. Bowen ( iy Senet ists, De~ entirely false. Mr. Marsball.—«lt was a big iat man who was on the police.” Mr. John Re Pearce asked to decline. Mr, C. B. Bates said that he did not think it was fair to nominate a ticket m this manner, and he suggested that some other plan be adopted. A motion was made to reconsider the vote by which the reso- Jution was adopted and carried. Mr. Joseph Williams said that he would like to renew Mr. Bacon's motion, with a proviso that until the day ofelection revival meetings be held every other might. Mr. Small moved to insert the name of Mr. Knight in the place of that of Mr. Bamburger. Mr. Williams renewed his mo- ticn. A motion was made to lay on the table carried. Mr. Boswell moved that when the meeting adjourn it be to next Wednesday. The num- ber of white Republicans in the ward was small, and he wanted all or white and col- ored, When norsmations are fo be made, and he therefore made this motion. Rev. A. Bowen said that the colored people wanted the same privileges now that were given to tnem when slaves—that of choosing their masters; their salvation depended on choosing the proper persons to represent them, If any gentleman can find fault with those named. let him do so. Mr. Watson said that he would find fan!t with some, and proceeded to say that they should stand as @ unit—no white, no black. {Laughter. Mr. Bowen.—“You can't white. wash me.) “The white Republicans had an miterest in the party long befure the colored men. [atr. A. Purcell (col.)—“Then you were the other way.”) The whites bad as much right to make the nominations as the colored This business was a class business. [Mr. wen.—+You'ye classed them.”] One year ago the gentleman (Mr. Bowen,) brought in religion, saying that he would vote for no man who did not believe in the Trinity, and be wanted to say that Mr. Sayles J. Bowen isa Unitarian, and does not believe in the Trinity. and would he vote for him! [Mr. Lowen.—*] won't teke your word for #."] Mr. B. was about to proceed when a motion was made to adjourn. T. Small raised the point of order that such & motion could not be made when a member ‘was on the floor. [The Chair—“You are all on the floor.”] Mr. Smail replied to Mr. Watson, saying that the colored people had been inter- esied in the party for two hundred years. but that their interests had been sold, as the inter- ests of the party had been sold, by such men as Fessenden. Mr. Watson said he would like Mr. Bowen to answer his question. Mr.Tomp- kins (colored) offered a resolution pledging the candidates for office to labor to secure equal educational privileges and labor and patronage to colored and white, and that its consideration be postponed to the next meeting. Mr. Small moyed an amendment to the motion to adjourn one week, by the appointment of a committee to make recommendations for the ward ticket Mr. Boswell suggested that the committee re- port twelve names, from which the meeting could make their choice. Dr. Boyd said he wanted to say a word or two. Mr. Bates asked if this was a Republican meeting, and he objected to persons taking part in the meeting who did rot intend voting for the ticket. Was the gentleman (Dr. B.) a Re- publican? Dr. Boyd.—“I will not answer that question, for my course heretofore should be sufficient answer.” Mr. Bates asked if he came as a Republican ora bolter, and he object- ed to his speaking. The Chair.—“I cannot tell who are and who are not Republicans.” Voice.—“He is an anti-Radica! “Objection has been made, and you cannot pro- ceed,” and Dr. B. ceased speaking. After some further debate, and an ineffectual Motion had been made to adjourn, Mr. Bates suggested that arrangements be made for the ratification meeting on Friday, and the arrange- ments were, on motion, left with the canvassing committee. Mr. Abraham Dyson suggested that attention be called to the fact that the new law provided for fifteen days’ residence in a ward, and the Chair apd Mr. Bates urged that those who were not registered because of the three months rule be hunted up. Mr. Bowen (colored) obtained the floor, and amid considerable talking in the back part of the room addressed the meeting, saying that the distinction on account of color willgodown to the latest generation. As for what he said about the Trinity last year, he had reference to the atheists, deists and such like. Mr. Watson answered that Mr. Anthony Bowen stated de- cidealy that he would vote tor no man who did not believe in the Trinity. The meeting at ten o'clock adjourned. pean een Fourth Warp Rervsiican Civr.—A meeting of the Fourth Ward Republican Club was held last evening.

Mr, Freeman (colored) said he was opposed to being restricted to nom- imate men for ward officers among whom this committee should report. Mr. Philbtooks objected to the resolution, because the mem. bers of the Club were creating a committee to perform a duty that should be done under the Jurisdiction of a meeting of the citizens of the ward assembled. Mr. Bell said that by the resoluti id know who would serve when elected to office. Last year they had nominated men who declined. The resolutions were adopted. Mr. Atkinron moved that when the club ad- journ, it be to assemble in mass meeting; los Mr. T. C.

The Chait stated that the obyect of the meeting was to elect officers of the club for the next six months. Mr. Wilson moved that the election be postponed for one week, in cons: quence of the limited attendance. The Chair said the constitution was explicit on the sub- ject, and he would haye to offer an zmendment to the constitution to effect his purpose. Mr. McNamara boped the gentleman would with- draw his motion. Mr. Wilson insisted on his motion, and asked & call of the house to ascer- tain whether a quorum was present. The members were then requested to step into the centre of the room, and but fourteen were pres- ent—less than a quorum. Mr. Thorn said he was cémpelled to tender his resignation, as his future business would take him away from Washington, and that he would leave the city next Tuesday. He had allowed his name to be used in connection with the mayoralty, but he endorsed heartily the nominee. He also stated that the club was entitled to two delegates m the New York convention. and ghat the city of Washington was entitled to fourteen, and he thought the club should elect delegates as soon as possible, In conclusion. he msisted on his resignation being accepted Messrs.

Mr. Thorn moved that the meeting go into au election for Alderman and three Councilinen Mr. Holohan opposed the motion, as the ward would not stand by any nomination made by tweive or thirteen persons. Mr. McNamara favored the election at once. Mr. Thorn with- drew the motion, and then moved that the club elect two delegates to the New York Con- vention. The motion was put and carried Nominations were then made of several gentle- men, who declined, with the exception of Messrs. Gwen Thorn and Cornelius Wendell, and they were declared the unanimous choice of the club as delegates to the New York Nomi- nating Convention.

The new firmot J. S. Ladow & Co. have just poe a storeon B street, between 1ith and 12th streets, where they udvertise ay extensive stock, consisting of doors, blinds, sash, window and door frames, bs, mouldings, brackets, newell mantles, and many other goods be- longing to the trade.

The exercises commenced with a grand chorus, “The Heavens are Telling,” from the oratorio of the creation, rendered by the Philharmonic Seciet) mc ne peegemeyon of oe fieid. Mr. Coyle presided at the organ. opening yer was by Rev. A. D. Gillette, D D., of the Fiivteentheetreet Bapust church, and Rev. A. H. Ames then read selections from the Scrip- tures. The annual re; of the secretary was then read. Forty-six lite and two hundred and thirty annual members had been added to the association. The Committee on Home Evan- gelization commenced religious services at the Jil last May, consisting of preaching. by some minister of the city, im the afternoon, anda Sabbath school in the morning. This plan was abandoned in consequence of the desperate character of many of those imprisoned, which made it dan; as to collect a large number in one place. Since then, members of the com- mittee had visitea from corridor to corridor with interesting and encouraging results. The three schools of the Association, viz: the Western Micsion, and the white and colored schools of the Canal Mission, had continued in thelreven course of usefulness. The Canal Mission was the only religious service in the city. General Howard delivered a number of Sabbath afternoon lectures in the chapel of the Western Mission. In order to reach the young men in the Departments, the Commitiee on Churches bad ished a “daily departmen- tal prayer-meeting” which was held for seve- ral months in New York avenue church. Im- portant changes had been made in the consti- tution of the society, vestirg the man: io aboard of twenty-one managers. sults were most satisfactory. The new build- ing for the association had formed the one great question of the year At the beginning of May, 1-67, all looked dark, but at the end of the same month a lot had been purchased, a adopt- ed, and a contract for th erection of a building made. The sum of $10,000 is still needed to se- cure the completion of this project for the benefit of the city. The warm thanks of the so- ciety were declared due to Henry D. Cooke, Esq., and other friends for the munificent as ‘tance which has brought this enterprise so ar complete success. Teport was followed by the chorus, lory of the Lord” from the Messiah. . George A. Hall, general secretary of the Association, delivered and earnest and fer- vid address on the great work which claimed the attention of the society. The Philharmonic Society sang the Hallelujah chorus and the ex- ercises were concluded with the doxology and the benediction. See SS A. M. E. General Conference.

Prorosep Ciry RartLroap ExTENsioy.— We learn that the committee, consisting ot E T. Ferris, J. H. McConnell, ‘Wm. F. Farisb, and Henry Hardy. appointed by the meeting of citizens of Union Town, across the Anacos- ‘ia river, to ascertain whether arrangements could not be made to extend the Metropolitan City Railroad to that place, had a conference to-day on that subject with J. W. Thompson, Esq.. the president of the company, who in- formed the committee that the company would take pleasure in extending its road and afford- ing the desired accommodation if a sufficient amount of additional stock could be obtained to meet the expenses to be incurred in the pro- posed extension of the road. The committee express confidence, as we learn, that the re- qvired amount can be raised, and propose im- mediately to make the effort, of the success of which. it appears to us, there can be no doubt, it the land-owners along the line of the pro- posed extension shall take into consideration the fact that the constructiod of the road will enhance the value of their property to an amount greatly exceeding the subscription re- quired. —_e—___ Tue MayoRALtTY.—Among the names pre- sented by their friends at the Conservative Con- vention, as nominees for the Mayoralty. was that of Dr. John B. Blake. We learn that when Dr. Blake was called upon, and request- ed to allow his name to be used as a candidate for the Mayoralty, he positively declined, upon the ground that it would occasion a great sac- rifice of his personal interests. A certain con- tingency was then mentioned, ana he was asked, in the event of its happening, if he Would not permit his name to be used. He re- plied that such a contingeney was very impro- ble; but, should it occur. he would feel him- selt bound to yield his own inclination to the wishes of his fellow-citizens, and make any sacrifice for the good cause they espoused. As the contingency referred to did not occur, bis nomination in the Convention was unauthor- ized, so far as he is concerned. Dr Biake, we understand, holds Mr Given in high estima- uon, having known him from boyhood, and will cordially support his nomination. —_o—_—_. CONSERVATIVE ARMY AND Navy Unton.— This association held its regular weekly meet- ing at its ball, 397 Pennsylvania ayenne, last evening.
