Grant, it would appear, did not come to time in the way of a settlement, and Sullivam for some days past has been ‘in a pretty desperate way about the fix he was in. om Friday he entered Grant's office, on East Capitol street, in an excited manner, and ad- dressed Grant as follows: “Mr. Grant, 1 have come here to whip you.” Mr. Grant madesome deprecating remark to she effect that he did not see the necessity for such proceeding on Sulli- van’s part. Mr. Sullivan waived ananswer and ordered Captain Grant to take his hands from Lis pockets, “because,” said he. “I rever strike & man with bis bands in his pockets.” Captain Grant seeing that bis opponent was in earnest, withdrew his hands an Position; but not season: owt and knocked red healed —, aid Mr never strike a man when Capt.

Lent begius just forty-six days before the festival of Faster, which this year comes very early, falling ov the ‘ist dayot March. There are six Sundays in lent, which, however, are not counted as fast day li Sundays im the christian year being the earliest ages of the church regarded as festival days in honor ot the great fact of the resurrection, which ix thereby weekly commeni- erated. The omisuon ot Sundays én lent from the days of lent makes thisseason of humiliation just forty days—the precise nomber of the days of abstineuce observed by the Saviour prior to His temptation in the wilderness as recorded in the Gospels. This season of lent is devoted by devout people to meditaticn and special acts of devotion, and by self-deniat to the cultivation of those pom yes graces which are best calcu- lated to enable men to evercome and subdue their evil habits and propensities. Lemt is ob- served with varying degrees of strictness by all the various branches of the “Church Catholic” thronghout the world, such as the Greek Church, the Anglican Church, the Koman Church, the 4merican Episcopal Church, and also by the | various brapches of the Lutheran fait! —s Tae Frrerat or tur Late Cov.

Kenben Brown and J. M. Quigley debated for some time the expediency of electing officers of the club. alker White favored the election although the terms of the present officers | notexpired. ‘This he did on the ground that President of the United States was al elected before the expiration of service of the old term. ‘On motion of Reuben Brown, the club re | solved itself into @ mass meeting for the purpese | of election cf officers. | ‘Thomas Martin made a motion that Jen | Minor Botts be declared the chairman of the mass meeting by acclamation. Walker White sprung up and declared that the club was not proceeding according te par- liamentary rutes. | A vote Was taken, and Botts declared chair- | man, with Aifred Day secretary. | _ Another motion was made to élect Jehn Minor | Botts president.

Alfred Jones here proceeded to allege that a mulatto boy named Madison Fleet, apprenticed at the establishment of Mr. A. R. Shepherd, had been discharged by Mr. Shepherd when he a-- certained that he was colored. [Our reporter | called upon Mr. Shepherd this morning to learn | something about this matter. Mr. Shepherd knew nothing whavever about the boy Fleet, his employment or his discharge, but promptly made ‘inquiry and learned that the following were the facts: The boy in question was not an apprentice, as stated at the meeting, but had been employed for some time, and had been swrloaghed, together with several white boys, when work grew slack, as is always done in th season when work gets light. At the same tita he was informed that when there was anything | for him to do he should be taken back. Tae member of the tirm who has charge of the work- wen informed our reporter that Mr. A. R. Shep- herd knew nothing whatever of the matter, and Was not even are that the boy Fleet had been in the employ of the establishment. ‘These ig the tacts, it would seem that some malig- nant purpose is at the bottom of the story put torth last night.) The committee to wait upon Gen. Babcock were announced as follows: J. M. Botts, Henry ‘ds, B. F. Grant, A. Day, Wm. Ferguson, Sandy Lacey and George Forrester, | | At this juncture Heury Himber, ex-contrac- tor, entered the cellar and made a most exciting harrangue, derouncing the Board of Public Works in ‘the most violent manner. Sundry tantalizing remarks were made to about his contre =t, &c.,‘‘how it was he got discharged by the board,” which so enraged Himber that he foamed at the mouth Henry Himber, B. F.

A meeting of some of the republicans of the 7th district was held at Bethel Hall (W street, near 16th) last evening, W. Andrew Freeman (ex-Councilman) in the chair, and C. B. Fisher | ope ' | _ Included in the minutes of the last meeting P- | was a memorial in regard to the election of offi- | cers, and Mr. Joseph H. Jackson urged that it | should be amended before it was adopted by pro- viding for asking Congress to establish days | work in the Disirict. | | The chair suggested that the question was a local one, which Congress ought not to be called | on to consider. | Mr. WV. Syphax thought as they now exercised | the right of suffrage was a mere mockery. Hi= | idea of republicanism was thatthe people should | elect their own rulers. He would endorse the | memorial with pleasure. Mr. W. Walker said the day’s work was a local question and the delegales should have attended. to this matter long since. He hoped the memor- al would be signed as it was without any amend- ment. Mr. Wm. Gray, although he favored Mr. Jackson's motion, could not see how they could ask day's work from the Board of Public Works, who have giyen coptracts to men trom Virginia, Maryland and other states. He urged that they should ask that the officers be made elective so that they could have this thing remedied. He would condemn the jature in nearly al! their acts—he knew that they had done wrong— but suggested that that be done in another reso- ution. Mr. Williams said they suould ask Congress — they want and then they would get some- ing. Ms Jobn Guber said they were aski Con- gress to take action in reference to a local ques- tien. Mr. Schooler urged that he would be ashamed to see the proceedings in print. Mr. John Hunter said they were not as mueh , ashemed of this measure than they were of the men who had represented them in the legisla- ture for the last two sessions. The Chair ruled that the representatives were not before the honse, but the question was on day's work. hr. Schooler said that it would be better to ask to elect all the officers, and if they did not do their duty piten them overboard. - Mr. Cornelius Clark would ask has the Board Shd what right has Congress after giving tai and what rig! 5 giving that | power to another body, to legislate on that sub- ject? They should ask the election of officers. The amendment of Mr. Jackgon to incot ate day’s work in the memorial was adop! in the affirmative; noes not counted, and the attention of the Governor and Board of Public Works to the act of March 27, 1867, relative to laborers and their pay, and they are hereby re- quested to grant to the men who labor the ben- efit of said act, unless such law has been repeal- ed, which was adopted. | The meeting proceeded to elect officers for a club, with the following result:—Joseph H. Jackson, President; Cornelius Clarke, vice ident; G. W. Stewart, secretary; Wm. Beckett, treasurer; Wm. J. Walker, W. A. Freeman and C.B. Fishcr delegates to the central committee.

Subsequently Wim. Robb was elect- ed second vice president and Patrick Macna- mara secretary of the club. Allan Coffin, David Green, and B. C. Berry were elected members of the central executive committee for the ensain; year. A. Coflin offered a series of resolutiv ‘ant’s administration; recommeu:!- renomination for the presidency, with Senator Wilson for the vice presidency, con- demning the action of a certain firm of con- tractors in giving their laborers but $1 per day; denouncing the contract system, and asserting that $2 per day is a fair compensation for labor n public improvements. That part of the res- ons referring to Senator Wilson gave rise to considerable discussion, in which Jerry Robin- son, Moses Madry, Henry Langston, Allen Cot- fin and Simon Porcher participated.’ They were finally adopted, and the central executive com: mittee were directed to act as delegates in case aconvention should be called in this district. Allan Coffin and A. M. Green were recommend- ed as delegates to the Philadelphia republican convention. The officers of the club were di- rected to investigate the matter of low wages said to be paid by certain District contractors, and to take such action in the premises as they may think proper.
