Believing « Mr. Larman had gone over to the Demoeratic par- ty, be was in favor of letting him go. He thought that the Republican party needed re. constructing. Mr. Wm. M. Slowen inquired whether the meeting last week Rad invited Mr. Orane to F aud make use of the language which he towards Mr. Larman. If so, he thought it in exceeding bad taste. The Republicans of the First Ward were fully able to take care of their own matters, without calling upon per- sons from other wards. He wanted no man to come from another ward and abuse any mem- ber of the First Ward. Mr. Larman had told bim that he bad received the committee cour- and that if the meeting would disclaim Raving solicited Mr. Crane to make the abuse of h he had, he, Larman) would give them all the satisfaction they wanted Person- Larman’s course any man, but the matter could not be settled by dictation. The easiest way was the best. and he hoped some satistactory explanation would be made to Mr. Larman, in relation to what Mr. Crane had said. Do this, and be felt satisfied that the “dead-lock” in the two Koards would be settled in one week from next Monday night. This was fair, and we don’t want focali inany influence from men traitors.” Thos. Martin—“How will the difficuity be settled Monday night week” Mr. Slowen.—Mr. Richards will resign hig Position as Chairman of the Board of Alder- men, and then some other Republican will be nominated who will receive Mr. 's vote. The Republican members generally, he believed, would resign their seats soener than tbis state of affairs should continue. Let us Fo on, and appoint apother committeee. Wm. H. Lewis explained that at the last meeting Mr. J. H. Crane was invited to make some remarks upon a resolution proposing to hold & memorial meeting on the death of Hon. ‘Thaddeus Stevens, and instead of confining himseifrothe subject he merely made a few remarks about Mr. Stevens. after which he consumed the rest of the time in abuse of Mr. Larman. The members of that meeung did not expect Such a course from Mr. Crane and «id not approwe it. He moved thai the report of the commitiee be received. Walker White.— Yon can’t do that. Cries of order! order! After same farther discussion, on motion of Mr. Siowen, the report was recommitted to the same committee. with imstructions to report at a future meeti Mr. Lewis then asked permission to intro- duce «series of resolutions, which he hoped ‘Would be adopted, for the sake of harmony and B00d feeling.

The resolutions were then adopted, after which the meeting adjourned. ——_ 2 Presentation of a Jewel. One of those pleasant affairs common to the I. O. O. F. took piace Iast night in Alexandria. ‘The Odd Fellows of that city manifested their appreciation of the services in the Oeder of P. G. Master and Grand Representative Hugh Latham, by presenting to him a Grand Repre- sentative's Jewel. The members of Potomac Lodge and Magley Encampment, of which he ‘was a member, held a special meeting at their ball, and with theif wives and families crowd- edevery available space before the allotted time for the presentation. On either side of the principal chair were seated the following officers and members of the Grand Lodge ot t District of Columbia: P. G. Masters John T. Given, Fred. D. Stuart, S. E. Douglass, W. BR. McLean. J. Edmonston; D. G. Master C. B. R. Colledge, Gr. Treasurer Sam’l Wise: Gr. Representative J. F. Havenner, and P. G's 4. Davis, Jacob Miller, and V. Hellmath. Past Grand Master Fred. D. Stuart, of Wash- ington, was called upon to preside on the oe- easion, and after stating the object of the meet. | ing, the exercises was commenced by singing the Gpening Ode, and prayer by the chaplain of the lodge, Bro. Whittington, The presentation was then made by Past Grand Peter Uhbler, a member of Potomac Lodge and Marley Encampmen}, and the oldest Odd Fellow in Virginig, Raving joined Wayne Lodge, No 3, ef Philadelphia, in.1624, the same lodge of which. eleven years later, the recipies ‘was the presiding officer. In making the pr sentation, Bro. Unler gave an interesting a count of his connection with the order and with Bro. Latham as a member of the same. Bro. Ubler is Grand Junior Warden of the Grand Eneampment of the State of Virgima. P_G. Master Latham, in receiving the jew- ell made a lengthy and eloquent address, re- viewing his entire connection with the order, and especially in Alexandria. He was initiated in Franklin Lodge, No. 2, of Baltimore, Md., in April, 184. After some months he removed to Philadelphia, Pa..and connected himself ‘with Wayne Lodge, No. 3, of that place, aua there the several — and entered (Re Grand Lodge. subsequently ret to his native place, Alexandria, aad connected himself with Potomac Lodge, tnen under the juriscicton of the Grand Lodge of the Dis- trict of Columbia.

Citizens have found letters containing money lying on their window-sills and por. tucees, where they bad been carelessly thrown hours before without notice to the occupants Letters are left at houses without inquiry as to name or number, and when a letter is thus wrongfully delivered, the carrier refuses to take charge of it again. and there it remains, although the residence of the person to whom the letter has been addre: has in some instances been pointed out tohim. These things are of daily occurrence, and an immediate remedy is a measure of justice to the citizens of that locality. ‘Tee AtaRM OF Fine Last NiGuT—Acci- dent . 2 Engine.—At 12 o'clock last night an slarm of fire was sounded trom box 25, corner of New York avenue and éth street west.

Some years ago he moved to Louisiana, went into the drug business there, acquired property, and also so much popalarity by his good qualities that against bis inclinazions he bas been sent to the Louisiana Legislature, aud we hear that he is one of the most useful members of that body.

Ober presided; G. w. a ee to the pe = read, Mr. Pumphrey objected to that portion in relation to the name, as under the strictly 7 tic name could not rally. It ‘was too strict and he himself would hike to see ach: in the name, for he wished to do ali be id for the c@mse. Many had come in who were Conssrv: in favor of the elec- and tion of Se mur anhiair, but were not Demo- erate, r. Bui ‘said that any man who was ashamed of coming in because it was a Democratic Club the club could do without.

The score is as tollows:—95 .
