Mr. McNerhany arose. amd on approaching Be sana Sr erceted coploce le logizing for not being better pre- pared; but having been born « Democrat a Faused under Democratic influences, the spirit of Democracy was always uppermost in his mund: and it wae never dificult for him weny mething on that subject. He eulogized the Bominees of the National Democratic Conven- tion, and the selection the most forta- aie which conld have been made. There Ould be no doubt of their success, and sucha Sonsummanion, he believed, was the only salva Republic. Speaker thes urged the Democratic lube af tis city to employ thelr time more in circulating campaign docu- ents than in making political speeches. Tnis ‘was the mest practical work for clubs here, and he would simply throw out the suggestion for what it was worth.

The Democratic party, be said, bad never vet been detented when united; amd mow, more than ever was their chance of success greater. After turther remarks, Mr. MeNerhany concluded amid lond applause: and a resolution of thanks was ten- dered to the speaker for the address, Nominations for membership were then called for, when about thirty persons were Proposed and elected. Dr. Busey. chairman of Executive Commit. tee, presenied a resolution requiring honorary members hereafier joining to contribute five dollars or more; which was adopted. The same gentleman, as c&airman of the Committee appointed to procure a suitable Ball forthe future meeting of the ciun, sab- mitted a report returning thangs to the Jack- son Democratic Club for their invitation to ‘whe Seymourand Blair Club to meet with them ai Carusi’s hall; but declining the same, aud recommending th at the club continue its meet- ings at the Conservative Army and Navy Union rooms. Mr. Killsbury opposed there- portofthe Committee, and urged the advan- tage of assembling st Carusi’s hall with the Jackson Democratic Association. It Bad long been the headquarters of the old Jackson Democrats, and large crowds would attend there who would not go elsewhere. Capt. Geise urged the club to remain where they were. It was time enough when such large humbers attached themselves to the Seymour and Blair Club as had beenfreferred to, betore comtending for incurring heavy expenses by procuring a larger hall. ‘The Democratic par- ty Reeded all the money which could be ob- tained for defraying the expenses which would be incurred ia having Printed and circulated campaixn documents.

Mead, in the chair, and George W. Darnam, Secretary. The Chair announced the first business in or. Cer to be the payment of dues, and stated that, as the club ‘wanted money very badly just now, it would be well tor those who could af- ford it to pay in advance, Several gentlemen responded to the call, and some new members also signed the constitution, among whom we noticed Peter McNamara, Esq. Mr. Thornley, dormerly treasurer of the Johnson Club, Pe id over to the secretary of the club a balance of #6, Jeft ip his possession after the disbandment of the Johnson Club, for which he received an unanimous vote of thanks. The the committee to procure funds to erect a flag pole and purchase a fiag, each banded in the amounts collected by them, (amounting to $47,) and said that considerable'more had beer, sub. scribed but not yet collected. Mr.A.K. Arneld Wanted to know why the erection of the flag- pole was not commenced once: he would not give a penny for aman whosubseribed and did not down. The Chair suggested that tw committee be authorized to continuesolicit- ing funds; which was to. Mr. O'Meara presented some amendments to the constitution of the club, defining the order of business in meetings, &c.; adopted. Mr. Dodge moved that the club meet at their hall on Taoursday night to proceed im a body to the dedication of the new headquarters of the Jackson Democratic Association, and that 8 committee be appointed to confer with the Sixth Ward Seymour and Bisir Club, with a view to joint action on that occasion. The motions were ae the Chair appointed as the committee ra. A. Dodge, P. J. Ennis, and E. E. Barnes. Dr. Clayton then addressed the meeting, say- ing that as Mr. Dodge had stated that he (Clay- won) Wanted to address the meeting, he wo! com himself to the girl who, when aszed by the parson if she would aave Mr. — for her husband, replied “that was what she came there for.” He came to address the meeting, and apy man shouid be proud of having beea a tent Democrat; he eulogized his own tical record, and sald that McClellan was ly elected, but had been cheated out of the election. After speaking of the extravagance of the Radical party, he stated that the country Was nO nearer peace now than on the day of Lee’s surrender. He ridiculed the action of Congress in the Southern States. saying that thove States were now represented by carpet-baggere, whom George W. Riggs could buy ap and afford to keep without em- barrasament. The negroes would eventually ‘Yote im accordance with the wishes of their former masters, and would not be lured on any longer by the false promises of the Radicals. He did not suppose there was any one present except himself who remembered the election of 1880. (Mr. Thorniey.—1 do, and remember as far back as the election of James Monroe.) The speaker begged Mr. Thornley’ ion, and proceeded, saying the election of 1440 turned on the question of sports, and it would be the case tm the present election also. If the Butler Zouayes went to Pennsylvania once more with the dead body of a member of Congress, it would add to the alretdy ruined prospects of the Radicals in that State. He concluded by exhorting the members of the club to renewed energy, and invited them to participate in the meeting of the Jackson Democratic ciation on Thut=day evenin; On motion of ‘Mr. Malloy, & yote of thanks was tendered to Dr. Clayton, and the mecting adjourned. i FUNERAL OF THE LATE HENRY ORNT: ‘The funeral of the Iate Henry Oentrich, an ac- count of whose suicide, yesterday morning, at bis residence, on 11th street, near Peunsylva- nis avenue, Was published in the Srax of yes- terday, took place at 8 o'clock this morning, from his late residence. i$ remains were placed in a handsome manorgny coffin, and the body, being clothed in diag cloth with white Nest amd shirt, looked exceedingly nataral. ‘The services were conducted by the Rev.

The turtle is really a curiosity, and will tarnish ap amount of soup and steaks suf- ficient to supply a small regiment. ——_-_—_.
