G. oe . “All the members of the Republican {nvinci- bles and citizens generally of the First Ward” were requested by # notice in THE Star of yes- terday to meet at the Stevens Sehool-house last evening at 8 o'clock ‘to consider the proposed changein the form of government for the Dis- triet of Columbia.” In response to thie cail one orderly cal assei ever aced ia Sievers? SchovI-house ‘assembled t the hour named. ‘sir. ‘Thomas Martin called the meetin, order and nominated Henry Johnson for chair quan, who was elected, as also John E. Clark Se tary. The Chair stated the object of the meeting. and Mr. Alfred Day offered the following re=w 1 jutions : “Whereas the Republicanism of Hon. A. G. and Gen. Howard has been assailed by citizens of this District in words retlecting upon loyalty to the great party of progress, and feeling that such assertions were entirely une called for and did gross injustice to two of our most worthy citizens and tried laborers in the course of human justice: Therefore, Be it resolved, That » the citizens of the First Ward, in mass meeting assembled, regard Hon. A. G. Kiddle and Gen. 0. O. Howard as true and tried friends of the Republican party Be itfurther resolved, That especially do we regard with high appreciation their integrity snd self-sacriticing labors im the elevation of the vance down-trodden and race. Resolved, That their labor in endeavoring to bring about a new government for this District, which it sadly needs, we regard with the purest of motives, having only in view the good of the citizens generally.” Mr. A. Freeman claimed that Messrs. Riddle and Howard needed no defence at the hanis ot the meeting. Their Kepublicanism had been {uificiently vindicated by the Senate Commit- tee, and therefore he offered the following as a substitute for the resolutions: “ Whereas, atter seventy years’ experience, the fact has demonstrate? itself that the present form of government is inadequate for the Dis. trict according to its present status, and in the face of the adoption of the fifteenth amendment, bestowing suffrage upona large number of Voters in the States, it would be unjust to dis. franchise any citizen of the District of Colum- bia, except as a punishment for crime; and whereas, according to the present government of the District, a large number of our fell citizens of the county are deprived of the privi- lege of choosing by ballot those who are to rule over them: ‘Therefore, be it “Resolved, That, as citizens of the First Ward, in mass esting sesembiod, we favor any proposition for the extension of the franchise; and having implicit confidence in the represent. atives of the people in Congress assembled, who have so generously bestowed the rights of American citizenship upon a long disfranchised and oppressed people, we earnestly hope that Congress will exercise ‘their own judgment and pace sucha billas may be best suited for the better government of the District, the opinions of demagogues and political tricksters to the contrary notwithstanding.” Mr. S. H. Sweetland said they had now come together as citizens, to conter on terms of per- fect equality. Although the emancipation proc- lamation and the fifteenth amendment had inade men voters, still suffrage was denied to some, whieh would be discovered at once on cross Bounda: street. Is that the golden ru ed Amon; distranchised was General How- ard, w intelligence and patriotism were not, under the present form of government for this District, sufficient to entitle him to say who should construct a Mewar in front of his own door. The speaker then ridiculed the idea that the colored people would be away their rights by supporting the bill pending in Con- gress. y only asked one government for all, 50 as to get rid of the obstructions in the path- way of progress. Their delegates in Congress would first look out for the interests of the peo- ple here, and then for those of the people of other parts of the country, like the others do in regard to their districts. ‘To get commerce we must get rid of the present divided and jealous government. Mr. O. D. Barrett stated that Mr. A. G. Riddie ibsent on account of his duties at Howard niversity. He compared the present opposition fer in question to the opposition which met the change in the law years ago, a change which greatly increased the facilities for communication between the people. Still that change was op] and so was this, at least by the City Hall ring. then referred to the fact that the law by 3 ires Ce ration contracts to be given out to the lowest bidder, but Corpora- tion Attorney Cook sets all that asi s cannot attend to such things, but a Territorial —— could. He then explained that the bill did not do away with city government, but only provided that the ve control of the government. It was really carrying out the principles of self-government, and the men who were opposed to the bill were men who would send the seme Petar back into slavery. The speaker then asked, ‘whom would think now most in your interests, a man who had lost his it arm for the welfare of the colored race, or Wm. A. Cook?” which appeal brought down the house in most terrific appl interspersed with cries of “ Good, Hit 'em again,” “ If Cook could only ear that.” &c., &c. He then explained that the reform proposed would bring here men inter- ested in manufactures. Mr. Barrett then said he would answer any question propounded by those present, and the following colloquy ensued: George Winder.—* Who first originated this idea ofa change in the District government?” Mr. Barrett.—* James Madison, about sixty- five years ago.” Mr. E. Brooks.— Well sir, won't the taxos bo po on account of having to pay legislative o icers?” Mr. Barrett.‘ No!

We need one. Don’t you know that it’one of the present laws here in force is carried out, any man who does not believe in the Trinity is to suffer death? Why, there has been a case also where a colored mah found another man, of his color, im bed with bis wife, and on attem to take steps for legal redress, he was informed that the marital rights of the colored race were not men- tioned in law.” Mr. George H.

He believed Mr. Sum- ner had the rights of the colored men as much at heart as any contractor, and that Gen. But- ler had their interests at heart as much as any ward com! ner that Godever made. He continued at some length, enlarging upon the advantages to be gained by the ee of government, saying he was in favor or di fizz up the present government root and branch.

The consideration of the amen Iinents to tle rules were resumed, that providing that as re- cesses are for sanitary purposes pupils shall not be kept in school during recess unless they are allowed an equivalent length of time inthe op m air, either before or after recess, being the firs. taken up. Mr. Lawrence did not understand how this rule weuld work, and thought that as the trus- tees were trying, with the aid of the teachers, to do away with corporeal punishment this rule would interfere with them. Mr. J.S. Browne said that the health as well as the education of the ebildren was in the kee; - ing of the ‘Yrustees,—and he explained that th< rule could be carried out, and would eonduce to promote the health of the pupils. Mr Wilson thought the modes of punishment and the times for punishment should be en- trusted to the judgment of the teachers—if they possess any judgment. He did not think that where only a haif dozen children were detained in ae room their health would be endan- gered. Mr. Browne said they could not be too partic- ular in enforcing the laws of health, and he would vote for the proposed rule with pleasure. Superintendent hards said that it was ne- cessary that children should have an opportu- nity to exercise in the fresh air at least once per hour. He noticed instances where whole classes: had been kept in because one or two failed. ‘ir. J.S.

Champlin, Lawrence, McLellai and Woodward—4; a two-thirds vote being re- quired. The amendment t rule 77, requiring that in case of holidays being given * that immediate — Te given .the Superintendent,” was adopted. The amendment to article XI, tostrike out the latter clause, providing that the Committee on Kules shall prepare and superintend the print. ing of all blank forms and registers required, was considered and recommitted. An amendment to article X VIII, in relation to the annual report, was recommitied. The amendment to. the rules providing that the Superintendent may call mectings of the teachers, with the consent of the Committee on ‘Teachers’ Institute, not more than twice per month, was taken ne Mr. Richards—* f would like the amendment to be explained. That is as much as to say the Superintendent shall not call meetings of teachers when it is necessary. There is no such committee as that named.” Mr. McLellan urged that there was no con- flict in the rules, and, notwithstanding the as- sertion of the Superintendent, conten that there was such a committee. ‘The amendment was adopted; yeas, 8; nays, Messrs.

The Irish Republicans of the Seventh Ward met last night at Delaney’s Hall, corner of Maryland avenue and 4% street; Mr. Thomas Carrahar in the chair, and Robert Burns Secre- tary. t communication was read from P. H. Done- an, Esq., President of the Central Executive committee, requesting the club to elect dele- ates to represent the club in the Central Irish frepubtican Association, and the following dele- were then elected:—Riel Coleman, ‘homas Carrahar, Patrick Coleman, Michael Fleming and Edward Sheehy. A motion was carried that all names proposed for member- ship be referred to the Executive Committee and lay over until the succeeding meeting and be reported on. The Chair then introduced P. H. Donegan, Esq., who said he had come to see how the Irishmen of the Seventh Ward were progressing in their organization. Every Irishman under what the speaker’s views were in refer- ence to the importance of these clubs. Ali knew that there was a Central Committee, the object of which is to perfect the Irish clubs in the different wards. The Seventh Ward con- tained material enough to have a very large club, which he hoped soon to see. One object of the central association was to secure unity of action for the advancement of Republican principles, to show their strength, and to see who among the Irishmen yote the Republican tieket. Heretofore many had voted the ticket and got no credit for it. This was because they were not properly organized. He was glad to see them so united in the endorsement of Re- ublican principles. This was the party that Petrie ded the Irish. The old Democratic party V8 proved false to them after making the best use of their votes. Andrew Johnson encouraged the Fenian movement, and when they had got into trouble he did not sustain them, but by force of arms. verdy Johnson, his Minis- ter to England, took sides against the Irish, and hob-nobbed with their enemies at the Court of St. James, while statesmen in the United States Senate were endeavoring to befriend them.
