It was decided by the Chair that the tules of the committee continue the officers of the District clubs, and that, as far as the Cen- tral Committee is concerned, its organization is complete for the year. A committee on creden- tiais was appointed, consisting of seven mem- bers; also, @ committee to prepare a platform and addresses for the ee.

DICKSON FOR RE-ELEC- TION, AND HE DECLARES BINSELY IX PAVOR OF IMPROVEMENTS. A meeting of democrats of the Twelfth dis- trict was heid last night at Beck's Hall, with Col. James G. Long, president; W. H. Finley, vice president; Charles Austin, secretary; and Francis Prott, treasurer. Messrs. Dennis O'Neill, Albert Holland, Patrick Morgan, Win. Maguire, and Charles Eggers were chosen as a working committee to look after the registra- Mr. Dennis O'Neill submitted resolutions, which were unanimously adopted, endorsing the course of their delegate, William Dickson, a1 pledging him their united support for reno: nation. Mr. Coombs then moved that Mr. Dickson be declared the unauimous choice of the meeting for the nomination in the Twelfth district as the demociatic candidate for the House of Dele- Mr. Dickson returned his thanks, saying he had been born a democrat, and expected to live and die one. In the House it had fallen to his lot, as a member of the Committee on Appro- priations, to make a minority report on the im- provement loan bill, because amount ex- ceeded the limit to the debt which Congress in- tended, without first submitting it to a vote by the people. Now that it was to be submitted to the People, he would have been inconsistent to vuppose it.’ He voted to submit the bill to the people, and had been blamed for it; but he would do the same again if necessary. "He was in favor of improvements. Three cheers were given for the nominee, to which was added a good Adjourned. Noisy Meeting in the Fifteenth Dis et. A mecting of the republicans of the fifteenth is rict was held last evening, at Market Hall, orner of Ist and H streets northwest. George W. Hatton called the meetin, iA order, when, after much wrangling, the fo! fticers of he club were elected :—President, William H Smith; first viee president, Martin ‘Cronin; sec nd vice president, John W. Freeman; secre- ary, C. C. Brisco; treasurer, Benj. Crowley. Mestrs. Geo. W. Hatton, D. E- Cahill and Ber- nard West were elected as members of the re- publican central committee. C. C. Briscoe of- fered a resolution endorsing the Governor and the Board of Public Works, and Jecommending that the eight-hour system and two dollars per Gay for the laboring man be adopted. Marcel- lus West offered a substitute endorsi: the eight-hour system, and denouncing the Board of Public Works as opposed to the laboring man; endorsing the old corporation and Sayles J Bowen and the Ch'ca.o plauorm of 6s, and making the Council elective. Geo. W. Hatton finally got the floor, and made his time- worn ‘speech about the lowness of wages and the Board of Public Works. As soon as he had concluded, Mr. Cronin, first vice president, who occupied the chair, Mr. Smith being absent, called Mr. Cahill to the chair, and attempted to speak in favor of the sapeomemente loan. A ful scene of dis- order followed, every one apparently being on his feet and shouting at the top of his voice. Hatton desired the meeting to hear Mr. Cronin, and finally, quict Sang peetans restored, the latter gentleman procee. ut was continual: interrupted, and but little of what he euld cout be heard. At this point there were loud cries for Mr. Freeman, second vice President, who a majority present insisted was entitled to the chair in place of Mr. Cahijl. In the midst of the confusion a vote was taken, and Mr. Freeman was directed to assume the duties of chairman, which he did, Mr. Cronin stating that in calling Mr. Cabill to the chair he bad been guilty of an oversight. Mr. Cronin, undaunted y the Pp monium round bim, went on with is speech, closing by saying that if the loan bill is defeated the ing man will be much worse off than he is now. At the conclusion of his speech there were loud | erties for adjournment, and the chair put the motion and declared it carried. C. C. Briscoe thereupon mounted the table and called upon gyery ove to remain ior @ mass meeting. A* 4 Jazge number called for a vote on the resolutions, Mr. Cronin put a motion to lay them on the table, and decided it carried, amid great excitc- ment and shouts and curses on all sides. In the midst of the din, Mr. Cronin again put a motion ed it carried. So great was the disorder and so many were the “pints” raised that it was utterly impossible to distinguish five consecutive words 5; by anybody. Twice more the chairman put the _ question cided it to | The Twentieth District im Line for Im- prevements. The Cooke and Chipman association of the ‘0th district met last evening at Crutchett’s Hall, corner North Capito) and D streets, David Parker in the chair, and W. E. Wise secretary. Mr. Humphrey Foster submitted a set of reso- lutions declaring that as the patron: of the dis- trict has been distributed in “‘atter dof the claims of our leading men, we unqualified!y condemn the course pursued by our legate; “that we observe with horror the action of Co: missioner Eaton in promising work only to who will pledge work and spport to men now in office;” and that the association endorse the | loan bill,the Board of Public Works, the Gov- ernor, and the system of eight hours’ work at $2 per day, which was adopted. Mr. Samuel Brown moved that C. H. Holden be endorsed by the republicans of this district as their choice for delegate to the Legislatare; agreed to. Double barreled 7 Air Meeting in the Twent, rst District. In pursuance to a notice published yesterday & very large number of republicans of the Twenty-first district assembled near the Baptist church corner of 12th and C streets, last eve- ning. There were probably 400 le on the ground, and it was loudly claimed by the friends of the contestants for the nomination— Bursley, the present delegate, and A. M. Green, his ofponent—that each had & majority present. When Tae Sran’s representative appeared on the ground he found the crowd waiting for the key of the church, and Brazill lobbying around ing “Green agin Bursley,” and charging that Beron, ag su ienentent, B ad refused ito give men work unless they support Bursley. The key didn’t come, and at about 7% o'clock Mr. W.'T. Davis called the meeting to or: and nominated Mose Bradshaw as chairm: Putting the question, he declared Bradshaw elected. W.T. Davis and Wm. Brown the elder were elected vice president and Wm. Brown the younger vice president. Aaron Bradshaw moved that they proceed to nominate a candidate for the House of Delegates, and the Chair deciared it carried. W.H. Brown the younger nominated A.M Green for delegate. The Chair.—All in favor of declaring A. M. Green the candidate for the House of Delegates say ‘*Aye.” [Voices—“Aye,” and “No,” and cheers and hisses.) The Chair declared, amid much confusion, that Professor Green was the nominee, and he advanced towards the church door and handed over three pages of foolseap. A voice—«The same old Resolution Green,” ani lasghter] The chair, Py. the aid of a candle, read the resolutions which declare the call for a mass meeting to nominate a candidate to the Honse Delegates Tuesday evening unauthorized, ille- gal, and void; that it is believed that the signa- ture of Mr. Herbert to said call was procured through intimidation and threats; declaring the present meeting the regularly authorized and regularly called meeting of republicans of the 2ist district for the purpose of nominating the republican candidate for the Legislative Assembly from this district, and that we do now rea to make such nomination. These reso- fations were carried without taking the nega- ve vote. Mr. Davis offered resolutions indorsing the £4,000,000 loan, indorsing the platform intro- duced in the House of De! legates by Mr. Bursley, instructing and pledging the delegate to use all lawful and consistent means to secure to the people the right of electing the collector, comp- troller, register, treasurer, superintendent of assessments and taxes, coroner, water registrar, and board of appeals, and pledging the delegate to the principle of eight hours’ labor and two dol- lars per day. The resolutions were adopted, or clared, amid cries of “division,” “Green,” yells and cat calls. Green was invited to mount the platform, but declined, saying, “I won't get up there, for there isa party on the outski throwing [or ready to throw) rocks.” He proceeded to make his little speech, while the friends of Mr. Burs- ley assembled on the opposite side of the street and held their meeting, about equal in numbers to the other. Mr. Green said he was disposed to fair play, and if the question came to asquare fight, and the people were allowed to voto freely, he would support the four million loan, but if any power attempted to interfere with the rights of the people, he would stump every church in the District inst the outrage and wrong at- tempted, and white men who attempted to ride on the backs of black men would tind their occupation and their day of power gone. If they were determined to ‘the four million bill and the election of parties by fraud, he would do his best for their oe cee and groans.) The President (Mr. Bradshaw) read a letter from Ex-Mayor Bowen, endorsing Mr. Green as @ proper person to represent heed mong of the twenty-first district, especially at this juncture, after which the meeting adjourned. THE OTHER WING. The Bursley men organized on the other side of the street, by electing Mr. Sydney W. Her- bert president of the twenty-first district repub- lican club, who said that the meeting on the other ‘side was unanthorized and illegal, and that the regular nomination would take place this ——— evening at Military Hall. Mr. Lemuel Bursley was informally nom- inated as candidate to the House of Delegates, and, atter a few remarks by Mr. W. Beron, the meeting adjourned, with cheers for Beron, A Marriage Brokerage Case. NOVEL SUIT FoR DEBT. How a Bashful Young Man Got a Wife—Golberg’s Love and Goldheim's Little Bill. Yesterday afternoon a novel case, in this city at least, was heard by Justice Johnson. The account on which the suit is brought—an action for debt—is as follows: “Washington, D. C., October Mth, 1871, G. Goldberg to Abraham Goldheim, Dr. ‘To’balance due on agreement to rocure @ marriage between G. Goldberg and “Sis, for services rendesed by ah Jacobs before marriage with G. Goldberg, £18.00. Total, $33.50.” The hour set for the bearing was five o'clock, and at that time the principals were present, with a number of their friends, also the constable in the case, H. R. Maryman. Plaintiff and wife testified’ that Goldberg thought Mrs. Jacobs would make him a good wife, he having heard that she was worth $5,000, and asked Goldheim to bring about his marriage with her, as he was A YOUNG MAN, AND RATHER BASHFUL; that he (Goldberg) promised to pay $25, and had paid $10 on account, but refused to pay the bal- ance; that Mrs. Jacobs, who is “fair, fat and forty,” and the happy possessor of $5,000, was rather averse to contracting a marriage with Goldberg, who Is thirty anf thin, without any tin to speak of, because of his age; that they (the Geldueims) had to see her © number of times to persuade her, and that finally sho agreed to marry Goldberg. Goldberg denied that he had so employed plaintiit, Dut admitted that he had asked him to introduce him to Mrs. Jacobs, and had given Lim $10 as a present; and admitted further that he was very bashful. Mrs. Goldberg also denied that there was any bargain, and ind ignantly re- pelled the idea that she had said Goldberg was TOO YOUNG FOR HER. After hearing other witnesses the justice was about to enter judgment on the split-the-differ- ence principle, when Goldberg excitedly said he had an account against Goldheim which he wished to put in bar, and said that Goldheim had caused his wife to’ be summoned as a wit- ness, covnpelling her to close the store, for which he charged $10, and that Goldheim’s child died, and bis wife's services on that occasion were worth §5. After considerable charging aud counter-charging, during which the constable rapped to order and the justice threatened to commit the whole crowd for contempt of court, he gave judgment for plaintiff for $23.59; from which decision the defend. appealed. Legistative Assembly. —The Council met at 5 o'clock p. m. yesterday, A message was reccived from the House of Delegates announcing that that body had passed a bill appropriating $100,000 for the relied of the Chicago sniferers, and providing for the conor bp bonds for that fo ome The bill was read the first time.

Tue Boat Race “Orv."—The lnvers of aquatic sport in our city, who had cherished such pleasing anticipations in regard to the race which was to take place to-morrow between the Undine Club of Norfolk and the Potomac Clab of this city, were thrown into a state of great ex- citement last evening by the announcement that the Undine Club had decided to withdraw trom the contest, and had telegraphed to their friends in Norfolk to stop all arrangements for the ex- cursion party to this city, which was expected to arrive to-morrow morning on the Georgianna. ‘The exeuse which the Undine Club give for their action is that the Potomacs have imported two professionaloarsmen from New York to row in the coming race in place of Col. Jones and H. W. Berthrong. When the Undines learned of this arrangement they sent a committee to Col. Jones, president of the Potomac Club, asking him to withdraw the two New York men, Truax and Clarke, and Col. J. sent them to Dennis » trainer of the Potomacs, who = tively refused to alter the arrangements. The members of the Potomac Club te that the designated stroke oar of their club, under the new arrangement, is an amateur oarsman, and has never been known as a fessional oars- man, has never rowed as a business, and that he has been a member of the club for a year and a half, and hax participated in races rowed by that club; and, what is more, they say that it cannot be pro that he is known as a professional oarsman. The two men referred take the ¢ of Colonel Jones, who was recently in- jured by a fall, and is unable to row, and of H. .Berihrong, who, since the Norfolk race, has joined the Arlington club. The Potomacs fur- they say that the Undines have in their present crew four men who were not in their racing crew when the contest took place in Norfolk— one hailing from Boston, one from New York, and one a member of the Schuyikill navy. They therefore claim that they have a perfect right to fill these vacancies, and that the Undines cannot be justified in their hasty action. In consequence of thé race being off between the Undine and Potomac crews, a contest in single-scull boats, for two prizes, botween the three trainers now in town—Messrs. Drew, Big- lin, and Leary—has been arranged, and will take place to-morrow, at 3:30 o'clock p. m. GRAIN ARRIVALS. vy canal, 2 bushels of a to B. Tal ; 280 bushels to Wm. H. ugal.
