Mr. Nath ‘piel Evans supported the original Teport. a8 the ome bes: calculated to promote the canse of Republicanism and secure the most efficiemt representatives at the June ele tion. The mode of making nominations, t forth 1m the substitute resolutions, would not give satisfaction, and he believed that should thev be adopted there would be corruption, by stuffing the ballot box The «question was taken upon laying the substrute on the table and carried, after which the original report of the Executive Committee was adopted.

Bosweil was then called on, and Addressed the meeting at much length in ad- voeacy of Republican prinziples and rule, and denunciatory of the Democratic party. He warned bis friends to be watchful of the Democratic party, or, rather, the new so-called Citizens’ party, which was bat another of the many 1 dodges of the despicable Demo- cratic party, whose only merit was sticking together and standing by their party noni- ees without regard to anything. H+ had uo fears of tne result of the election in June next, but im order to make the Repubtican triumph complete and decisive, he hoped ali 3 ermes would caase and every Republican would unite upon the nominees. Mr. B. referred fo the subject of registration, and prosonnced the board of last year as an itfamous traud, !ng most Of the members were traitors to the ublican cause, That bord had, in vi law, registered non residents kno’ iers, whom they ko had no right to citizenship, and were but mis- erable representatives of thit noble army of scIdiers who bad bared their breasts to the enemy im the Inte struggle between the North ‘ud the South. He then read a registration band-bill which had emanated from the Fourth Ward, im which it is charged that tne «Bowen dynas'y” had 1a one year increased the Corpo: Fation debt =) ',000, and denied its trathiulne: im every particular. On the contrary, thi expenses had been curtailed, the Corporation was in much better confition than wher under Democratic management. The Democratic party of Washingion, he said. were the oppressors of the laboring man, and World gring bim down to tke very In3t Geni should they get into power. It was time, he thought, for the workingmen to organize for the grand position they were to sssume in the Bartona) history, for he conld hazard the pre- diction that the time wes not far distaat when the | coring men would rule this country, ana all tbe opponets should stand strom iuder, The Lapdicrd’s Associstion came in for a pas: ing bit, which combination,’ be said, wbeva, organized to coerce indigent tenants jatd the sapport of the Democratic party.

ATION —Tne Irish Ri publicau Association held a meeting on Thursday evening at W'll's German Hall, 7% street—Mr. P. H. Donegan, the president, in the chair, After the transaction of considerable busi- ness, Mr. John Hickey offered the following resciution “Whereas the colored citizems constitute the maip body of the Republican pirty in this city; and whereas they have invariably discharg-d the duties of all offices of honor and trust to which they bave been appointed with marked ability snd integrity: Theretore, be it “Resolved, That we, the members of the Irish Republican Aesociation, favor the nomination of @ competent colored man on the genera! tcket.” The President said: This is a step ir the right direction, and will tena to conquer the prejit- dice which exists against race im this city—a prejudice trom which the Irish have suffered 88 well as tbe colored people; but as both are armed with the ballot now, they can, by acting together, defend themselves against prejudice aud proseriptive rings. The enemies of the one Face are the enemies of the other, und the f the one are the friends of the other. ‘Those who applied the lash so unmercitully to the colored man’s back, tried, in and out of Congress, to disfranchise the Irishman, and those who have always advocated the freadom of the colered man, such as Sumner, Wilson, Banks and Chandler, are the advocates of the Insh to-day in Congress. and are calling John Ball to account for his antagonism against the United States, as well as against Ireland. All the lives which were lost and the blood which was shed for the freedom of tie colored people and for the preservation of the Union amount to nothing unless we vote as we fough’. viz: for free¢om and the Union. Remember Daniel U’Copnell, the tdol of Lre!and the champion of the colond race. The interests of the colored people and those of the Irish are identical; both are working people, and can, by securing a | ll understanding with h other and a rmonious concert of action, command proper Tespect and a proper remunera‘ion for their Jabor. We must also remember that colored men were among the first who volunteered io, go with the Fenians to Canada, in order to compel England to redress tne grievances of Ireland, and we must further remember the Tsecution which we have experienced in this nds of so-called Democracy. sors.

Mr. ©. e he has tiken charge, come to the conclusion that the number of apprentice: allowed by the rales of the Typographi. .t Union to be worked is too limited, and ne: in Proportioa to the number of mea employed, and has therefore addressed a letter to the Upion asking that tne rule oe rescinded, and that be be allowed to employ avy number he ‘Miy deem advirable, and this letter will come before the Union at its meeting this evening, whea itis expected that an exci®ing deb :te on the proposition will take place. Mr. C. in making this reqnest, promise; that he will not do anything in the matter that will injure the interests of the craft, of which he is a member. It is also expected’ that resolutions from the Bufulo Union will be presented this evening, endorsing Mr. Olapp 4s a frien: of the craft. A number of members of the Union will oppose 2 modification of the apprentice and especially its repeal. Tne question admission of the colored composi:or, Mr. Dougias, recently appointed, will also be bafore the Unioa this evenin: and will be a matter debate, The Union bas a law or regulation that members of Union cannot work in the same office with those who are not members, untess such parties come trom some place where there is no Union, that case they should firs: have a “per- mit” card. In the case of this compositor, he learned his trade in Rochester, N-w York, where there was a Union, but at the time he ‘was too young to be admitted, and for the past ten years has not worked in any place where a Union was in existence; his last place of work being Gold Hill, Nevada. It is said, however, that Mr. Clapp is firm in his decision that Douglas shall retain bts position in the office, and in this respect will carry out the policy of the Government in recognizing the claims ot colored men. Itseems to be thought that the Union will decide to admit him. a Scnoors.—E?- nt act of the City Councils im providing for the appointment of a Sap=rin- tendent of Pablic School* is one of greit im portance, and claims, as it should, the seund- est discretion on the part of tl power in tbe selec.ion of the individual to fill the office, It1s not necé-sary now to discuss the quesiion fs to the propriety ef the act. It bas teen urged by the friends of the measure that the want of such &@ supervising autuority bas sorely affected the educational interests of the Districc, and retarded, if not almost wholly Prevented that progress and efficiency in our cchools which has attended the efforts ot thoze engaged in the cause of educition in other cites. Whether there was a necessity for such an appointment or not is yet to be seen. Let the trial be made im good faith, The inquiry now 1s. who should occupy that important positiont In looking around among the many who bave been engaged in the work of educational interests, tora suitable person to fill that office, we know of no man better fitted than J. U. Wilson, one of the trustees of the schools in the first district. Mr. Wilson is known to be highly educated; he has been con- nected with the schools since 1361; has become thoronghly acquaintzd with tae teachers. pu » and parents; knows, perhaps better than any other man an this city, what is needed to make our system of education what it should be. His devotion to the cinse, bis untiring zeal, and his peculiar management of the affairs of the irstituion—which all whoare acquaint. ed with the subject will cheerfuliv attest— point to him as the one who should fill the Office. It 13 to be hoped that no other tha: desire to place the proper man in the proper Place will influence his honor the Mayor and the Board of Aldermen in the selection of the individual to whom is to be entrusted this charge. It is understood that the following brief memorial sizurd by nearly every teacher in the public senoo! this city, has been pre- scnted to the Mayor, who no doubt will givu it that consideration it deserves:—% We, the under- signed, teachers of the pubic schools, do most respectfully recommend Mr. J.
