An adjovrned meeting of the republican club of the Twenty-first district was held lust night at Kaiser's Hall, on Capitol Hill, to complete the organization.” Sidney W. Herbert occupied the chair, with Wm. I. Brown as secretary. The Chair, on opening the meeting, stated that the scenes of the lest mceting had not re- flected any credit on the club, and he counseled the members not to repeat the disorders. A. Bradshaw called for the reading of the last minutes; and after considerable copfusion—some one moving that the reading be dispensed with — the secretary proceeded to read the proceedin 7s as reported in Tue STAR. The vote being on their adoption, great confusion took place, some clamoring that they were not correct, and should be laid on the table; while the secretary and the chair contended that they were as cor- rectly reported as it was possible to do it under the tumult of the occasion. Nearly all present were talking at once, and the chair appointed Mike Shiner as sergeant-at-arms. 'd them to vote it down if they but for God's sake not to keep up such a confusion. Wm. H. Brown desired to know whether, if they rejected the minutes as read, the election of Mr. Herbert would be valid. F. D. Gaines asked if the report as read from THE STAR was the correct report. ‘The chair.—* It is the best report made.” Gaines.—“ If that’s so, what is the use of hay- ing a secretary ?—he wanted no gag law.” The chair— Shall the proceedings be et 2 [Voices—* Yes, yes, d no.” The vote was then taken, and the proceedings as reported in Tag STR were declared adopted. Nominations were then cailed for vice presi- dent. Wm. H. Brown, Wm. T. Davis, Edward H. Marshall, Wm. Beron, and Joseph H. Weems: Were nominated. Mr. Brown declined. The disorder was so great that it was impossible to tell who talked loudest and fastest. The chair reminded them that they were damning them- selves. He insisted that they should not crowd upon the stand too close, aud called upon the sergeant-at-arms, when Mike Shiner went for them, ani made a retrogsade movement in post-haste. The nominations were then closed. Mr. Brown stated that every man who voted = Wm. T. Davis voted against the $1,009,000 loan. Davis.—“ That's a lie.” Brown continued, saying that the colored men of the 2ist district were led around by a set of poor white men with their shirt tails out. (Voices.—** That's a lie, too.” ‘ Put him out.” “Oh, you shut up, Bill Brown; you talk too mue! Brown—* For C—'s sake hush your noire. You are nothing but boys and minors.” A one-armed man by the name of Brazee was a ered loud talker, and Mike Shiner told him to “Shet up,or he'd fank him on the other wing.” A vote was bere taken, and A. Campbell was declared vice president amid great confu- sion. Lieut. Austin and his men were present, and coming forward with them the hubbub sim- merea down. Several nominations were made for secretary, and finally Clarence M. Barton was declared their choice. Jos. H. Weems was then elected treasurer, M. Shiner declining. The Chair then declared the offices all filled, and expressed bis mortification that so much confusion had occurred. He stated that there was aplan on foot bya few to break up the party in their district. “These disorganizers were the dollars and cents men, who cared for none but themselves. One of the newspapers had done him great injustice in the report of the Tast meeting. Wm. Brown rose toa personal explanation, charging that the Fgvublican newspaper was trying to burst up the party, and Governor Cooke sliGuld exercise his authority over it, as it was really his paper. The colored men of the District were in favor of the $4,900,069 loan, and would vote for it. ‘Wm. Beron rose to a point, that it did not be- =o to stigmatize any of the papers of this eity. Brown, continuing, said the reporter of Tue Stax had made a fair and decent report. Mike Shiner got the floor, and expressed his sorrow to see so much confusion among his race; he dared any one to say that he had not done all he could for his race. He was not afraid to speak "his sentiment. He charged them that it was folly to butt agin the present authorities; he Was glad for one, that they had a Board of Pub- le Works, who would set a price on jobs of work. The colored people are fighting to take bread out of their own mouths. Some of these people think they have a heap of influence, but they have no more than a polecat has. As for the loan bill, as Napoleon said when he rid into the Church of Reme andsaw them twelve golden deciples setup thar, “You come into the world todo goed, and by golly you shil do He for one was glad they have a Board of Public Works. Now these roosters who have undertaken to use the workingmen for their own profit have got to go under. He would speak the truth, without fear, and stand to his principles. Heaven and earth may pass away, put the principles of Mike shall never pass. [Voices.—“Good for Mike.” “Bully old compl pred the meeting adjourned, subject to the call of the chair. as — Ix Favor or THE Concorax Sitz ror tHe NortTHERN MaRkET.—A meeting of the citizens of the uorthern section of the city favorable to the selection of the site at 7th and O and P streets, belonging to Mr. W.
