Dr. Purvis called the meeting to order and stated its object, which was for the purpose of healing, if possDle, all diferences in the ranks of the repul party. ani That as far as he was concerned be was vdy and wilfmg to forget that he tad been ! with a committee, either as a chairman. if by so doing it weuki : so desirabie a thing as the unt . Dr. Purvis was thea elected and Lewis H. Douglass secretary. A scussion ensued as to the bes. method Of attaining the object im view, some being of the mapression that it eeuld be broagut about by issuing a calleonvening the citizens on masse, and making nominations direct trom tie people, at leastythe Congressione! namination. Mc. John H. Brooks remarked that as chair- man of the republican central committee he Would not do anytinng imconsistent.with its dig- nity and honor, or that would compromise the perition held by him. Although he was not pledged to support amy.man for Co ertheless he was free to-say that Gen. Chipman was his first choice; but if the citizensef Wash ington would put in nomination, throagh the regular channel, someworthy, honest aad intel- ligent colored man, he would support him r.

They should nominate some thoroughly competent, able and honest colored man for Congress, one who bad time and epg tocomprehend more than one thing at a time. He further urged the nomination of some colored man who would tell the Governor, board of pablic works, and all others whe refuse to do them justicethat it must cease, and as for money and all else that Was required to meke a successful campaign it could be obtained without their assistance. He (the speaker) meant business, and stated that all that was necessary was a ‘united front—lay | aside all pretty jealonsies and personal dis- likes, and go in and win. - Mr. Barbadoes offered a resolution “that we ungualifiedly give our. support to a colored man as Delegate to Congress.” Mr. Lewis Douglass offered as an amendment “that we do now proceed to nominate a candi- date.” Atter discussion, the-resolution as 4 nally offered was unanimously adopted. .

Her Dame was Margaret Hawkins and her death oc- curred at her residence yesterday morning. As hear as can be ascertained, she was born about the year 1760, and was therefore about 112 years of age. Her recollection of the olden times was remarkably vivid, and up to within a few days of her death the took pleasure in speaking of the days of her childhood. She was born in the neighborhood of this city, and resided here during her entire life. She had seenevery Pre- sident of the United States from Washington to Grant, and having been intimate with the ser- vants of Washin; , often saw the first Presi- dent. She leaves quite a large number of de- ecendanis, grand and — ‘grandchildren.

W., sighing, cursing and using [cage language, up to the bouts of 12 or 1 o'clock, despite the efforts of the inhabitants to quell them. I wouid suggest that the police step around oftener in this locality and arrest a few of the leaders. It would, I think, restore quietness and order.

His nts were of the respectable middle class, but the boy lived in an atmosphere in which brute strength was the highest honor.

On his return he for a time in the boot and shoe business, but soon after quitted it for politics, his presidency of the fire company giving him a strong influence. In polities he was very successful, wielding, in afew years, as much influence as Mike Walsh and David C. Broderick ever exerted,andsecur- ing the confidence of his party, in whose con- ventions and counsels he always participated. In 1857 it elected him alderman of the fourth ward, a position he held at the time he wasshot. pares the war he raised a company, but re- turned home from the field after participatin; in afew engagements. He was charitable an: generous, and always willing to serve a friend or relieve the unfortunate. He had many good jualities, for which, should his wound prove ‘atal, he will long be remembered. HIS CRITICAL CONDITION. Late last night McMullin was in a critical condition, and the physicians believe that the wound will prove fatal. The re) that the ball was extracted is incorrect. The man who committed the outrage is still at large, and it is feared that he has left Philadelphia. Th rking People. The strike of the building trades in London still continues, and the meu, firmly adhering to the nine hour system, insist that proposals for com: must come direct from the em- ployers. On the other hand, the employers offer to refer the whole matter in dispute to a board of arbitrators, composed of equal num- bers of masters and men, with an umpire to be appointed by the board. This method of adjust- ment has been rejected by the men. By the latest mails, however, it is announced that a fair prospect exists of terminating the strike. ‘Tke masons have offered a compromise, which concedes the nine hours a day, but only goes half way in granting the men’s demands in the matter of wages. The working time is to be nine hours a day all the year round, and the wages are to be eight pence and a half, or seventeen cents an hour. The hours of work during the twelve winter weeks are to forty-seven hours, and during the remainder of the — fifty-two and a half hours a week. This arrangement gives a balt holiday on Saturday all the year round. The employers, it is stated, have agreed to this compromise, but the bricklayers, carpenters and joiners, painters, plasterers, and smiths, have refused to ratify the proposals of the ma- sons, and are still agitating for the original de- mand for ‘‘nine hoursand nine pence” The bakers in London are combining to obtain a re- duction of the period of labor to twelve hours day. At present the day's work varies from up to 16 and 18 hours, according to the quantity of bread and the number ef batches required to be baked. The journeymen jewellers are also agitating for nine hours a day. In the north of England the women at several of the doliieries recently struck against the high prices of meat, pledging themselves not to buy any until the charge was reduced. At the Seaton colliery the women have been successful, a butcher “ving contracted to supply beef at 15 can : reduction of one-tuird o wanes 2 knowledge.

They le the trip from Cum- berland in their neat little boat, ich was fitted up for the occasion, and the larder well provided. The entire line from Cumberland to Georgetown was thoroughly a and all the hg ag 4 of the line were paid off; time occupied in the trip, four and a half days. President Gorman expresses the belief that by Lager a payment and frequent visits to the work, which rules he intends to carry out, the expenses of the canal can be considerably reduced. re is now plenty of water, and the canal is in better con- dition than it ever was before. The basin at Kock creek has been thoroughiy cleaned, so that boats drawing from 4% to 5 teet can easily pass through to the Potomac river. Democratic Mrgtincs Last Evenixe.— Meetings of the democracy were held last even- ing in the 3d and 4th districts. That in the 3d dist iet was held in Lang’s Hotel, where a small number were in attendance, and elected John L. Love, J. A. Maloney and'J. O'Donnoghue as delegates to the central executive committee.

Hutchins, J. ler Gatewood and H. T. Bar- rows. dJumes Coggins and John Sebastain were elected permanent secretaries, after which the club adjourned to meet at the call of the execu- tive committee. AccibENTS.—Yesterday afternoon a colored boy, name unknown, while standing near the conkey engine which was hoisting ice from the Schooner Susan, ot Boston, for te Kennebeck Ice Company, had his hand severely injured by having it caught im the block attached to the engine. Another accident occurred on the same rckooner this morning at 4% o'clock by the staging giving away, precipitating two men into the hold. One was not injured. The other, named William H.
