A met ting of the First Ward Republicans was held last night at the National Institute build- ing, corner of 2d and I streets, for the pur- pose of nominating candidates to represent the ‘ard im the Boards of Aldermen and Commoa Council. At 9 o'clock, the ball being densely med, the meeting was called to order by Carter E. Stewart, (colored,) presidess of the club, assisted by Francis Taverns, (coloted.) secretary. The Chair stated that be object of the merlung was the nomination of caadidates for the Boards, and i: remained with the meeting to say whether the nominations should be made as a club meeting oF as one com) ‘of the cit izens of the ward. Walker White (colored) moved that the club adjourn, and that the meeting resolve itself intoa mats meeting; lost. Wm. Set uyler (colored) moved that all Repud- lican citizens of the ward ve invited to partici- ate inthe proceedings alker “Lobject.” Wm. Halleck,(colored.)— “Shut ap.” The Chair demanded order, and appealed to the meeting to take into consider- on the importance of unanimity and good feelimg during the meting. He cited the ex- ample of the Chicago Convention, composed of over six hundred delegates, where everything was orderly and united, and stated that if he was to preside order must prevail. J.S. Brown (white) understood the meeting of last week, which appointed a Committee to bring im suitable names for nominazion, to be & citizens meeting, and he therefore thought the present partook of the same character. W. could not afford to be divided in the Di and certainly more satisiaction would b: given if the nominations were made im mass meeting: On motion of Robert Tyompson (col.) the club adjourned, and a mass meeting Was organized. Walker White moved that the Chairman of the Nominating Committe make bh carried. Alexander Henderson, (col.,) ( man of said Committee, then stated that he had called apon Mr. Henry Himber, (white,) and Robert Thompson, (col.,) both of whom had positively declined accepting any nomination: the first-named becanse he thought there were somany persons better qualified to represent the ward than himself, and also because he de- sired to see some colored representative; and the second declined because of objections made to colored men serving in the Councils. The Committee had secured, however, the con- sent of other parties to serve, and thereupon submitted the following names: For Alder- man—John F. Cook, (colored.) For Common | Council—Wm. H. Slowen, David M. Davis, and Wi Shase, (whites.) For Assessor— Carter E. Stewart, (colored.) Aaron Russell, (col.,) desired to present a minority report. | Alexander Henderson denied that there was a minority report, for mo discussion existed in the meeting of the Committee which made the nominations. If there was any minority re- port, it bad been concocted on the pnblic streets. Mr. Russeil then read the minority report— signed by Aaron Russell, Thomas Martin, aud Alfred Day—dissentiug ‘from the majority re- | port as to the eligibility of colored citizens to | elective offices, and quoted the fifth section of | the city charter, which distinctly asserted the | doctrine that such officers must be male whites | and twenty-one. Although the charter was unjust ig tis provisions, yet the word “whit | bad not been stricken from it, and it was there. fore not safe to make colored nominations.

Davis, | (all white) Por Assessor—Lemuel Williams, (white.) Walker White moved that the mi: hority Teport be laid om the table. AL this juncture Mr, Russell claimed that Mr. Stewar:, being a nominee for an office, was therefore not | eligible to preside over the meeting. Messr. Brown (white) and Thompson (colored) co tended that there could be no Parliament ary oojction to Mr. Stewart presiditig. as he conld exere:se bo powen because of the position held by him. Besides, the reports of the committe had not yet been fairly brought before the meet- ing. Mf. Stewart then exp d his willing. ness to viaeat the chair. He was no aspirant tor office, nor did the persons present know what would be his action when the time for | voting came. The matter was settled by the appelutment of Robert Thompson and Tsuch Bouldin (colored) fivst aud second Vice Pi dents The Chair them put, the question on laying the minority report on the table, which w. decided in the affirmative: but subsequently « divi-ion was called for, which was about being cared out when Mr. Russell objected to the matter being hurried through until he had ume toexplain. Do you, be said, propose to et.fle debate upon the minority report! S$ eral Voices—Certainly; that’s it.

Bowen, the candidate tor Mayor, aud | de lired by the Republican Convention of this city, and require the nominees to pledge them- selves to a faith{al adherence to the principles | st forth therein, if elected.” Thomas Martin | (colored) moved to ameud by inserting the | platform adopted recently by the First Ward | Republican Club. Violent opposition ensued, | during which Walker White proceeded t» b: | rangue the meeting about a Tennessee Repre- sentative who bad gone back on the colored men; when objection was urged, and, | hard struggle, he was pulled down. resolution was afterwards passed. Upos dering this decision, William Thomas (colored) said he hoped the Chair woulda": b> biased. | The Chair.—+I don't want my motives im- pugued. and will allow no man to do so.” rt. Henderson was then permitted to ex- plain the action of the committee in the | course of which he said thar tiey bad called upon one prominent white Republican and begged him to serve, but he positively declined either to serve or to recommend any other | white man, aud said that he would not rua on & ticket with colored men. [Cries of «Name him! “Name him!) Here Mr. Charles L. | Hulse sprang to bis feet and proclaimed that | he wasthe man. Atter careful consideration | he said that he was satisfied that, should a col- ored man be nominated, defeat was certain.

Put colored men on the ticket and the Demo- crats will be successful, in which event the kte- publican party here would be dead, tor the Re- publicans would be forced from the city to flad employment. Under Democratic rule ne Ke- publican need expect anything. ‘The Chair was about putting the question upon taking the vote on the nomination of Mr Cook, (colored,) when Wm. Syphax (colored) wished to know if he intended forcing motions | down the throats of the meeting. Auother out- | burst of disorder ensued, during which Messr- B own, Thomas, and others made ineffectual att-mpts to speak. The vote was then taken on | the previous question, which was carried amid, applause. A motion to adjourn was made bur not considered. [Great disorder.) The Chair.

A. Boswell and A. - Hall, recommending the nomination of john F. Cook for Aldermen. Robert Thomp- son spoke of bis nomination, and ridiculed the idea of expediency talked so much about. Now was the time for the colored man, ifever, and he intended that certain white Republicans should show their hands. He was tired of voting for white men for every office and the colored men getting nothing. The colored man had as well have no vote if ne is to be d barred from filling any position himself. [T r- rific applause, in the midst of which Ben. Ha lock slammed his bat on the floor and #xecated upon itan Indian war dance.) Mr. Tavern: (colored) thought there should be no discrimina- tion on account of color, and urged the nomina- tion of Mr. Cook. Mr. Himber wanted to see colored men in office, and thought they wonld be recreant to themselves if they did not do so now. Wm.

Taverns hoped the meeting would adjourn, more than half of those first present had gene away, and if nom- nations were now gnade, there would be dis- satisfaction in the party. Mr. Henderson also supported adjournment, but the motion was not considered. The question was then taken on the nomination of Mr. Cook, and he was chosen amid the most deafening applause, [At this juncture a half dozen or more colored m=n, in ‘heir enthusiasm, sprang from their seats, and indulged in all sorts of terpsichorean and gymnastic feats; an aged man with frosted locks leading off.) Mr. Wm. H. Siowen was then nominated by Acclamation for the Council. The next name on the list for the Council was that of Mr. Ds vid M. Davis, (white,) when Mr. Hulse pro posed Carter E. Stewart as a substitute. Al- though originally opposed, from expediency, to the nomination of colored men, yet, as the precedent had been set, he was now in favor of putting others in the field. He should support the nomination of Cook, and ary other of t color who should be placed on the ticket. M. Stewart declined; as also Mr. Hulse, who was nominated by Mr. Himber. ‘After great disor- der, and a number of speeches by way of ex- piaiuing who Mr. Davis was, (many persons ing doubful about him,) the vote was finally taken by tellers on his nomination, and it was carried in the affirmative by a count of 5s to 45. Mr. Henderson then announced the name of Mr, Wm. H. Chase (white) as the th rd repre sentative in the Council, and proc *eded to en- dorse bis soundness on Republicanism, during general confusion and oratorizing throughout the hall, when Mr. Taverns claimed that Hen- derson’s endorsation would not answer for the party, No one man could say who should serve the First Ward, aud he wiSved that the meeting adjourn.
