A meeting of colored citizens of the First ‘Ward, for the purpose of appointing delegat-s to the National Suffrage Convention to be held iB this city on the 13th instant, was held last ight at the Colored Baptist Church, corner ot Ioth and I streets. After some litte difficalty, Thomas Martin was chosea chairman, an Jobn E. Clark secretary. After a statement by the Chair of the objects of the meeting, John Loudou: of consid. — peor rg Joba F. Qook as one of eB : Jerome Johnson submitted as an amendment & preamble and resolutions, which closed with the recom: of the names of De W. Anderson and William H. Bell as said del- egates. J Loudoun moved that the resolutions be iad ‘the table. Jerome Johnson desired to address the meet- ing in advocacy of his resolutions, to which the Ohair and others, objection was made Which, although considered not exactly par- liamentary, was granted him, and be there- Upon proceeded to speak in iavor of the ap- Pointment of the names suggested im hie reso- ‘utions. At the conclusion of his remarks, Rob’t Pey- ton inquired by what authority the colored citizens of Washing‘on proposed to send del- Eates to the approaching National Couveation. ‘Was no: Washington represented by the whole United States ? Jobn F.Cook stated in jy that the Ni tional Convention had been cided upon by a convention which bad been held in Baltimore, nnd that am invitation bad been exteuded tw the citizens of Washiugton to send two delegates from each ward. ‘The question was then taken on the motion to lay Jerome Jobnson’s resolations on the able; which motion was carried. A motion Ww #ppoint a committee of three to Suggest the names of two persons &s suitable elegates was adopted, when the Chair ap- pointed Alex. Henderson, Elza Williams and George Forrester. The committee, afer a briet retirement from the room, re:urned with the fotlowiag nomi- nees :—Rey. D.W. Auderson and Rob’t Thomp- son. Conflicting motions were made with regard to the disposition of the committee's report, when John Loudoun, who bad been on the floor balf the time of the meeting, making m- tions aud withdrawing them in the same b, d that the report be laid on the . Here Alexander Anderson, who seemed to have lost patience, excitedly remarked that Loudoun was undoubtedly drank and should not be recognized. A drunken man should not be permitted to interrupt the barmony of the meeting, and uniess Loudoun kept still he hoped he would be made to leave the hall. motion was made to strike out the name ot Robert Thompson and insert John F. Cook in the report of the committee; and anuther motion was made to insert the name of Francis Pay- erns in the piace of John F. Cook. ‘The merits of the various nominees were then discussed. Robert T! begged leave to witadraw bis name. as be did not wish to throw discord im the meeting, and, besides, he had doubts about his ability to serve the colored people of Washington with sufficient credit. n withdrawing bis own name, he endorsed the nomination of John F. Coox. Cornelius Ulark attempted to speak, when Jobn Loudoun interrupted, whereupon he (Clarke) turned around and remarked to Lou- doun, “You are drunk, sir, and bad better go home to ved. 1 mean what I say, and am re- sponsible, here or elsewhere.” Loudoun, still on bis feet and tottering, replied, “1 impate that to your ignorance.” Cornelius Clark resumed bis remarks, 1 ad- yocacy ofthe nomination of Rev. D. W. Aa- derson and John F. Cook, as men well quali- fied to faithfully and creditablyrep resent the in- terests of the colored people ct Washington Both were old and well-known citizens, and should be preferred over the young men or some who were new-comers here. Thomas Martin here resigned the chair to the secretary, and proceeded to address the meet- ‘ng in opposition to the appointment of John F. Cook as one of the delegates. He (C20k) had already been honored with a position in the Board of Aldermen byhis constituents, aud that should be enough honors tor him. There were a number of other experienced and intel- ligent colored men in the ward, in private life. who would make good representatives, and such only should be chosen. The discussion was continued at considerable length and amid much confusion; after which the question was taken on the nominations of Joba F. Cook and Rev. D. W. Anderson, who were elected. A committee of two were appointed to wait upon Rey. D. W. Anderson and inform him of his election as a delegate; during whose ab- sence, Rober: Thompson addressed the meeting and exhorted the colored people of Wasbing- on, and especially of the First Ward, to desist from the disorderly proceedings which had generally characterized their detiberations; for they would never r -* to the dignity of the white race unless pr. ecoram were observed among themselves. In couciu- tion, be paid a high compliment to the charac- ter of the delegates who had been elected, and Predicted important results from the delibera- fons of the National Cgnvention to which they had been accredited as representatives, Briet_remarks were made by Wm. H_ Bell, Jobn F. Cook, apd others; after which the meeting adjourned. —o——_ DearH ny GLANDERS TAKEN FROM A Horsg.—About the 29th ot October last a phy- ician was called to attend aman mamed John House, a resident of the northern part of the ity, who had been ill afew days. The man was suffering with a chill, and occasionally with intermittent fever. Finally his left arm became yery painful and inflamed, presenting the appearance of erysipelas, Then the second finger of the left hand so painfal that at was lanced, and found to be mortified to the second joint, and mortified spots were atter- wards boticed on the forehead of the man. who dicd on the 12th of November. The physicians bad learned that the man had frequently driven borses suffering witb glanders, and tha’ he suffered greatly with chapped hands. In view of these tacts they obtained permission to make a post mortem examination ot the re- mains. In so deing, from the right arm. to which the disease had made its way, was taken & considerable quantity of pus, whieh was submitted to microscopical inspection, and the belief became stronger. Desiring to farther test the matter, two dogs were inoculated with ‘& portion of the puss om the 17th ultimo, and a tew days since Dr, Z. V. Purdy, on 134 street, who bad the dogs under his supervision, an- nounced that they were dead, and that he had saved the brains and the maxillary glands. Portions of these were taken in charge by some ofthe medical fraternity, and pat unter the microscope, and the jadgment was that there was a decided similarity of the maivor, ‘and that the case was, withont doubt, glanders. —s——_ Curtstian Cosvention.—The Young Meo's Christian Association have decided, after coa sultation with many pastors and prominent laymen, to call another Christian Convention, to meet in the English Lutheran Church, corner of lib and H streets, in this city, on Tarsday, the 12th day of January, at ten’ o'clock a.m ‘They say: “Fach church in the District, and m the adjoining counties of Meryland and Virginia, is moet earnestly invited to be present by pastor and delegates, with as many of the Christian men and women as possible, and to pray and Iabor that this convocation inay be mutually profitable, and its deliberations con- stamtly attended by the blessing of God.” The followmeg are suggested 18 topics for discus- sion, subject to the approval ot the convention: ‘The mission work of our city—how ean it vesi be prosecuted! Lay preaching—Is it desirable? when! where! Devotional meetings—How made attractive? ought they to be confined to churches! What can and ought Christians ridually dO to win souls to Christ? How 1 the attendance upon public worship be made more general ? ——e——. CoumiTTED To Jart.—Some time in October Iast a number of trunks belonging to General Alex. 8.
