The President on taking the chair urged that they would forget their prejudices; have no bickerings and it wonld be well to consider calmly what course to pursue to best subserve the interests of the im the Dutrict. He urged that they would aid him in keeping order and that they would abide in every case the decision of the majority. The Chair announced the fol Execu- tive Committee:—P. Campbell, T. P. Bell, J. R. Wright, John Freeman, «James Colemat Payee reen, A. Russell, G. W. Brown aud W. Mr. Russell declined and A. Lewis was ap- pointed in his place. Mr. Freeman said that some of the men on that committee because of his political opinions did not speak to him, but he would not peremp- — “—.

Richards have been proposed.’ Mr. Duffey.—‘Do you kuow that Major Rich- ards is a candidate 2” Mr. Russeli—“I do.” M ——— is sufficient.” M ussell said he offered the resolution for the best reasons, in order to heal the divisions in the ranks. Mr. Beall rose to a point of order, that there was no division in the party. [Applause.] Mr. Russell ‘that there were divisions in the party, and some had even gone so far us to say if their eandidate could not be nominated by fair means he would be nominated by foul. if the resolutions were adopted, they would place all Republicans on the same footing; but not, six hundred Republicans would be at the mercy of three handred. He wanted to see har- mony in Party, and did not wish to see the defeat which was inevitable if they could not come to an understanding. Mr. Beall moved to refer the resolution to the Executive Committee. Mr. Detrick said the resolutions were so fair that he could see no necessity for the reference. Mr. Beall said he was sorry to hear remarks about divisions being made, and that his reason for a reference was, that a perfectly fair plan could be posed. The resolutions were not Mr. Russell—Do you understand them ? Mr. Beall.—I do not. They have just been forced upon us. Mr. Russell.—It seems singular that a gentle- man of your ability does not understand resolu- tons so explicit as these. Mr. Detrick said the resolutions should satisfy any fair-minded man. Mr. W. A. Cook stated that he, with Alder- men Stewart and Davis, Councilman Thompson and others, had just come from a meeting of the Central Executive Committee where the subject of the resolutions was considered, and a sub- committee, on motion of Mr. d. F. Cook, was appointed to submit a plan for selecting ‘dele- gates, and report next Wednesday. It was likely that they would repdrt in favor of primary elec- tions in each ward, to be held at the same hours and day to prevent stufting and packing. They would, perhaps, recommend the very plan pro- proves and the éall would embrace all bona tide ublicans. ; Mr. Russell said he would withdraw the reso- ution. Mr. George Boston said that if they did not do something to bring up the citizens to the regis- tration they could not expect to win: and while their opponents bad their force out, they had not a carriage. He moved the appointment of a committee to raise funds and to work about the registrations; carried. r. Wm. A. Cook said while he was a member of the Board of Registration he would give s5 and would ask the reporters to put it down that it was for the purpose of bringing up to the reg- istration the bona fide Republicans; that he did not want stuffing. Mr. M. Duffey, Hugh McGinnis and others sent up subscriptions, and about $15 was re- ceived. The committee was appointed as follows :~ George H. m, James Coleman, J. i. Wrie! it, W. H. Posey, and D. Williams. = Chair stated there was @ bill of $4.50 un- paid. Mr. Wm. A. Cook.—“I’ll put down the money to settle that,” (handing out a V.) Mr. Duffey moved that the Committee on Reg- istration be paid $2 per day. . Mr. Freeman opposed the motion on the ground that there had been too much work for dollars and cents already. The motion was lost. Mr. Carter A. Stewart was introduced and adéressed the meeting. He said that if they Rone he nage See waeld a het in the First Ward they bad as much as they could attend to. He was at the in the Seventh Ward on Tuesday night last, and thought that ward de- served the banner. In the First Ward the ques- tion of primary elections had been discussed, and determined On waiting the action of the an teat omg ilies been charged with sa; t they it to carry the poner Sy tickers. He had used the word excitedly, and never once seriously. He was opposed primary elections, because the people generally did not understand them, but Fhe majority of the people wanted such elec- tions let them have them. The First Ward wanted to send a strong delegation to the Councils this year &. the party may make a ong person get into the Mayor's chair. In 1563 the names of A. C. Kichards and Sayles J. Bowen were before the convention, and Mr. Bowen was elected, and had filled the Mayor's Kosa esh A 5 on augurating many improvement ey want that he should carry forward the works he had commenced, and intended to place his name high upon their banner with the words “In hoc signo vinces.” He did not jbelieve that Mr. Bowen would accept the nomination if it was made - a 2 made—a gentleman of the Fourth Ward now in the Aldermen—what does it mean’?

Who is there that can go to the Republican Congress like the present Mayor, and can talk as he can talk to them? man can go to such men as Charles Su ner and other heroes named, and demand for this District what he can demand? Why, if Sayles J. Bowen had no other claim to the sut- frage of the citizens of Washington, the mere fact that he has been the heroic and defiant enemy of that corrapt monopoly, the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad Company, would be rey He has stood up and fought the corporation that would have bought almost any other man from the beginning to the end. He had seen the Power of corporations in his State on officials, and fiad seen how they wilted bold men who have started as their enemies and ended as their friends, but had never known an instance where as powerful a monopoly as this, banded together with all its millions, has encountered in a single man such determined hostility as they have in the person of Sayles J. Bowen. And it he were as rich as W. W. Corcoran, and as enterprising as James G. Bennett, whatever his hostilities might be to the radical Republicanism of Sayles J. Bowen, he would support him, because he is, and has been, the detiant and determined enemy of the Baltimore and Ohio railroad, without op- posing. and witout destroying which we cannot ve any permanent prosperity in the District; and the war WMrored a resolution providing for the grading rospect street: Feterreds Mr. bec | mted a communica- tion from the S! missioner, calling at- tention to the condition of certain portions of Jefferson street; referred.

Mr. Collins re- ported trom Committee on Streets a resolution providing for the laying of flag footways on Congress at Beall, ee at 3d, Fayette, between 8th and Madison, and Prospect at Lingan streets; passed. Also, a resolution appropriating $700 for repair of Road street, from High to Mont- gomery, and 8th street, from High to Fayette, which, on motion of Mr. Dunlap, was amended, reducing the amount to $500, and passed. Also, from Committee on Water, in answer to a res- olution directing that committee ‘ to inquire of the engineer of the Potomac water-works what prospective improvements are now about ing made, if any, that this city may have a more abundant supply of water,” submitted a communication from Col.

After reverring to the hostile state of feeling atthe South towards Northern men. he read a statement of the amount of work done under the direction of Mayor Bowen, stating that the con- tract system has been improved, by requiring all bids for work to be accompanied by respon- sible guarantors, thus breaking up the corrupt rings by which the corporation has been for- meriy swindled; and a large amount of the cer- poration work hax been done by day labor, thereby saving to the laborer the profits that would otherwise have gone to the contractor. He closed by urging that they should support the nominee, and was loudly cheered. At the conclusion of Mr. Forney’s address, Mr. R. J. Beall proposed that a vote of thanks be tendered the gentleman for his able address; which was seconded. Mr. Freeman remarked that it was eminent- ly proper that the gentleman should receive a vote of thanks for telling the poor negro that unless Mr. Bowen was nominated by them the Republican party would be torn to pieces. The vete of thanks was adopted, and the meeting adjourned. Fi After the meeting adjourned, Dr. R. B. Deit- rich and W. A.

Should the coming season prove propitious, the probability is that at least an avi supply of all escu- lents cultivated in this re; will be realized.
