A meeting of the Third Ward Workingmen’s Association was held last night at the Wisewell Barracks, corner of 7th and © streets. The room was well filled, and considerable interest was manifested in the proceed'n ‘The meeting was called to order by John W. Freeman, and Aaron Russell acted as Secre- tary. bir. Freeman stated that a call was made one year ago to form a work: this ward, and it had been organized, but not much interest had been taken in it since, and the meetings had been tinued. He had lately received a communication from the Sec- retary of the Fifth Ward Workingmen’s Asso- ciation, with resolutions enclosed, recommend- ing the election of seven delegates irom each of the wards, tu meet at some place to be designated for the purpose of forming a central organiza- tion. On the strength of this communtention several tlemen had signed a was read, that the work. ward together to take appropriate action im reference to the matter. thought it best to elect temporary officers to serve for the eve- ning. to take action as suggested. r. J. W. Freeman was then elected Chair- man, and Mr. Aaron Russell aos ‘The communication from the Fifth Ward was — on motion the recommendations were adopted. ‘The Chair thanked the meeting for the honor of electing him their chairmau. He was no Paper collar nor kid gloved gentleman, but a hard working laboring man. There is many a brick house standin the city that he had carried on his shoulder, he being a hod carrier. and if that was not laboring work he should like to know what was. Mr Edward Atkinson, of the Fifth Ward, was ealled for, and in response said he had not come gmen of the Firth Ward wae doing a g protecting the interests o: ward. They should all unite in a central organi- zation; through such organization the labori man could get employment. ‘They would call upon Congress as soon as they get to work, and ark that the Avenue be improved, and then the jaborers would all get as much work as they desired. The Fifth Ward club was doing a good work in taking the orders with which the labor- ers were paid off, and giving them the money for the amounts due them, which orders they were formerly obliged to sell at a heavy loss. It had been charged that there were more black criminals in the District than white ones. If it Was so, obey Aaya a — ——— among k people, being without fork.» They could get no work to dovani were in need of help from some quarter. The Provi- dent Aid Society gives out soup to them occa- sionally, but they wanted to make their own soup. "The Provident Aid Society could not mect the demands made upon it, by reason of the lack of proper patronage. Instead of Con- grese making small appropriations for their re- icf, they should make large appropriations tor improvement of the streets and avenues, and the black men could then benefit by them and the city be cleaned. The pro} ‘central or- ganization would memorialize Congress on this ery subject just so soon as they got organized, and they would show to Congress that the city could be kept clean by the black man. As it ix now, the Democratic contractors for the fat debs on the corperation work often get their pay and the lsborer hax to wait the pleasure of the contractor to get his, and often it is paid out to him in sums of Sat atime, with the pretence that the corporation has no’ money, and It fe a tation was their only rem- Fpecial favor. | Co- edy. and by sticking to the Republican. part; they would come sat ail right. During bie re. marks Mr. A. made some allusion to colored — from other wards coring to his ward for work. A.

AThinson Saiu be did not say so, but that he did not think they had any righf to come into his ward and pretend they resided in the ward im order to get work.

He Bot, yield his privilege to discuss the question asa citizen, but could not serve on the committee. Mr. Boyd urged that Mr. B. should not be ex- cused. Mr. T. T. Fowler thought that he should be. Mr. Boswell said that several days ago he had given his views of the question, to which the editor of a paper in the interest of the territo- rialists had replied, and he (Mr. B.) might have cceasion to reply to the editor's remarks, 4s also rome made at the First Ward meeting. Mr. Boswell was excused from serving by the Chair, who named Mr. T. T. Fowler in his place; and a motion by Mr. J. 5. N. Bowen having been adopted, Messrs. J. F. Wilkinson and W. J. Walker were added. ‘The Chair announced that the meeting was open toremarks; and a question having been asked how the proposed plan would ailect the rights of voters, lr. Boyd took the floor and said that it was not possible to establish a terri- torial form of government unless the le were deprived of some of their franchises. He asked, were they to give up the right to elect representatives the city government? ‘Were they ready to receive Governor? This scheme Was gotten up by the same who for three years endeavored to obtain the of a bill placing the District under commis- sioners. It was a Democratic scheme, and the commissionership bill had been defeated, and this seheme came up in its place. He asked would they allow this exhumation trom the grave of the old Democratic party. If they allowed this bill to. pass, Democrats would get all and would they wanted, laugh and sneer at them. was not @ State which would allow the Government to make it a Territory if it could prevent it. The men in this scheme were like some of the pretended representatives of the people in the old country—they will agree to serve for nothing, Sut help themselves to the pay, and to obtain pay would rob them of their brains if they could del at them. [Langhter.] At present an officer who was not satisfactory to the people need not be kept in office more than one year, but under this bill they would remain in fvur'years, and would net be responsible to the people. This government, too, isto be an Tatic govern- ment, and a poor man will be unable to reach it, and none but men with their thousands would be appointed or allowed a voice in it. Kev. J. W. Green said that nothing tangible had been presented for the meeting to con- sider, and he did not believe that it was right for the consideration of this matter until the people could be fully informed as to what the roposition is. There had been too much en- ment by the, colored people of measures they knew little or nothing about; and it was they who received the censure, not the speakers who had worked them up to endorsing such measures. They had given applause to flowery words, which had caused them tly to weep. They were not prepared measure, for they had nothing tangibl was opposed to prejudicing the eople a subject which they knew nothing many understood the two plans Rroposed ? [Voices.—* None.) Which plan will suit the people best? The past should be considered, and the people who had been sickened and caused to vomit should not be misled. Before — is considered read the proposed ills. Mr. S. A. Douglas explained the measure as he understoed it, and said that the bill took away some of the privileges of the people. He was opposed to the pro government, unless the eiticers can be elected by the people; and unless that is done he preferred, of the two evils, to take the least and remain as at present. Under the scheme of Brown & Co. the governorship could be bought, for if a Democratic President was in power he could not refuse $50,000; and such a case those who grumble now wo! ‘umbie ten times harder. The measure was plow aime: directly at the people, and he be Heved that not one of the parties interested | P were identified with the poorer classes. He Tiauld not give them the privileges asked fur, wi nnce wuere was To Shang te futare, w some are looking forward to the time wie: Hiouse of Representatives will be Democratic, and taking courage from the fact that Bingham and others are ‘rclining that way: Inyo — sion, he urged that the colored tant their stand against this measure, unless the peopie > rights are fully guaranteed. The white peop! had had two hundred and fifty years the start, and could afford to quarrel over this and other measures, but the colored people could not af- fe auarrel, . Boswell took the floor, stating that he had expected some of the supporters of the proposed queasure to be present and to hear a fair discus- siow, but for some reason they were not present. He was in favor of the present government un- der which the citizens know what rights they lad. Some of those asking for the passage of this measure have been asking for the Com- missioner bill bat had failed, and the bill they now propose will give the people the power to elect the lower Board while the Governor and upper Board will be appointed by the Govern- ment, and these are all the rights the people will have. Some of these parties say that they are Republicans and that you (the colored voters) are not as good Kepublicans as they. Ail of them are not Democrats, He would give every man the right to lis opinion and respect those who frankly avow their sentiments, and he asked the same. Whenke spoke against the propaved measure he was abused the next day Eyapress in the interest of the schemes. It made no difference with him what papers said and he would do what he considered right. When these men were asking for the Commis sioner bill did they come before the people, and when this bill was Looe gg aid beg to the people until they found the doors of Congress closed to them? No! Ithad been said thatthe bill was hastily pre and was imperfect, but he denied it, saying that although some parts of it could be criticised, the bill had been prepared with care. This devil was conceived in the real estate shop of Kilbourn & Latta, on 7th street. Why did they not ask the people to have a hand in preparing it? That would not do, but they must go skulking to a few dissatisfied Republi- cans and asked them for support aud sympathy, and one of them went to a meeting, and after having his say the proposition was voted down. If this proposition was for the benefit of the peo- ple why was it kept to a few? Now, if an officer was elected and did not rej resent the people he could be left one year, and the people know that to-day were not sure of representing them in six months. What advantages will the laboring man gain by the proposed change? What good will it be to elect the lower Board of twenty- five if the Governor and upper Board control the entire Government? They would be in for four years, while the representatives of the pco- ple would be in fortwo. If the lower Board op- pose the upper what would it amount to? The members of the upper Board (men of influence) would say help” yourselves, and the Governor will have the veto power, from which there would be no appeal. What is the remedy under the present form of government? The can remove their representatives if they fail to live up to their pl ; they have done it before, and in.

A communication was re- ceived from Miss E. A, Chamberlain, principal of the Georgetown school, stating her inability to continue in charge, unless an Me gprhemnge § was afforded her to regain her health; and, on motion of Mr. Jones, le: of al was nted to Miss C. for the month of February, in consideration of her past valuable services. The Chair read letter trom Rev. J. M. John- ston, asking the Board to employ and pa Misses E. A. Jamison, Kate Trumbull, and i. M. Johnston, teachers under the Board,who have heretofore been paid by the Board of Missions of the Reformed Presbyterian Church, and the Secretary was directed to notify Mr. Johnston that if the ladies named were as at present during the month of February, this board would assume the payment of their salaries at the rate of $50 per month for the balance of the school year. On motion of Mr. King, Mr. Jones was authorized to apply to the corporate authorities of Georgetown for the amount of money due by them to date. A communication from the Board of Aldermen of Washington, asking for certain information in regard to colored schoois, was referred to the Secretary, with instructions to answer the same. ‘The accounts of Arthur Pannell for repairs to school buildings during the past year were taken up tor action, and the ball commenced—Alfred Jones for, and William Syphax coui against the ac- They engaged in lively discussion thusly:—Mr. ‘Jones—*Now if you are satistied that the work has been done, why not pay the Recount?
