A ba me of the republican general commit- tee of the District was held at ir headquar- ters, No. 485 Pennsylvania avenue, last evening, when it was resolved that so much of the cail of the committee as to the selection of candidates in the various districts for the House of Delegates at the time of the election of del- egates to the nominating convention, (the 3ist day of July, 1572,) be considered asonly a recom- Dp ion, and the districts are requested to ure their own judgment in naming the day and mode for nominating their delegates for the House of Delegates, provided that all elections held on the 3ist shall be held according to the Tules. FIRST DISTRICT RETUBLICANS. Ata meeting of the Ist district republican club held at Uniontown last evening, Mr. Charles Barker presiding, and Mr. A. Folliott secretary, resolutions were adopted endorsing Grant and Wilson, the administration of Gov. Cooke, tendering thanks to General Chipman, and expressing bs that their delegate, Mr. S. G. Brown, declines a nomination for another term, and tendering him thanks for his unsel- fish representation. The following were nomi- nated to be bailoted for as members of the regu- tar republican club (John H. Brooks, chair- man,) at the meeting appointed to be held on the Sist instant: Messrs. Solomon G. Brown, Ambrore Folliott, Joseph 3S. Worthington, Charles Kobinson, and Jacob Fisher. Mr. Brown baving declined a renomination as cand- idate for the House of Delegates, the name of Mr. Daniel Lee was submitied to be balloted for also on the 3ist. . SECOND DISTRIOT REPUBLICA A meeting of the republican club of the sec- ond district was held at Brightwood last night, to orgenize for the coming local campaign. Moch enthusiasm prevailed, and after the pointment of committe: eches were m* y Messrs. Robinson, Carpenter, Barker, Chesney, Green and Settles. Subsequent resolution was adopted that the club recogni the valuable and eminent services rendered this District in the last Congress by the “Hon. N. P. Chipman, our present excellent delegate,” and cordially urging his renomination. The meet- ing adjourned with cheers for Chipman and the board of public works. SIXTERNTH DISTRICT REPUBLICANS. The republicans of the wth district held a meeting iast evening at Turner’s hall, Mr. Joseph Flynn in the chair. The executive com- mittee recommended Mr. J. W. McKnight for House of De! tes. The report was adopted. Mesers. S. H. Williams, FE. 'Forden, J. Fiyon, S. P. Robertson and EF. Allen were chosen as candidates to go before the primary election to elect delegates to the congressional nominati: convention. Bir. Fee offered aresolution, whic was adopted, instructing the delegates that may be elected to the convention to vote on all ques- tions as a unit. =e A Doubie-Barreled Greeley and Brewn Mecting. INBARMONIOUS PROCEEDINGS AMONG THE CHAPYAQUACKS AT THE BOARD OF TRADE ROOMS—TRE BRETHREN CANNOT DWELL TO- GBTHERIN UNITY. By some misunderstanding twe meetings con- vered at the board of trade rooms last night, which caused some clashing—the Greeley and Brown club, and some of the District Greeley and Brown delegates, who expected to furm a central executive committee. The former got possession first, and Captain James Goddard occupied the chair, with Walter Hawkes as sec- retary. ‘NOT WILLING TO PAY THE FIDDLER. Mr. Fleming submitted a resolution, which was adopted, that a tax of $1 be jevied on each member of the Greeley and Brown clubs throughout the city to bear the expenses of the Tatification meeting to be held on the sth day of August in front of the city hall. Considerable discussion here took place as te whetler this tax should be considered an initiation fee ora contribution merely for this special purpose, and finally it was agreed to consider it a contribu- tion." Mr. Henry 8. Davis thought there would be plenty of money forthcoming to cover all the Ps pow rs ot the ratification meeting, but this did not contemplate the use of their funds set apart for carupaign purposes. ‘Some thirty or forty members “ WALKED UP TO THE CAPTAIN'S OFFICE” and settled their assessment like men. Mr. J.J. Coombs stated that a joiat council had been organized of the several clubs for the purpose of having a bead to supervise the cam- paisa work. This report had been adepted at a ate meeting. The secretary of that mecting, Mr. Pearson, had agreed to write out copies of that report but ne had not received it from him, but he could state in substance what it was, and aiterwards the report, as drawn up, could be laid before the club for action. On a metion to adopt the verbal statement of Mr. Coombs, some one objected on the ground that the dele- gates to that meeting had not been chosen by the people direct. FINANCES AGAIN UNDER CONSIDERATIGN. After some discussion further action was postponed, and the subject of the initiation foc againcame up. Mr. H. S. Davis stated that when he joined the Greeley and Brown club it was with the understanding that a fee was to be paid, and he had paid it. They could do nothing without funds. Mr. J. J. Coombs moved that a fee of &1 be charged to ali members of the cin’ who had not ady paid it, as an initiation fee, and that the secretary be directed to collect it; adopted. BOWE 18 Tas? Mr. English presented the name of Frank T. Lowe as assistant recording secretary. Mr. John T. Halleck asked if Mr. Howe was not a 5 an—if he was not very much mis- n his name in connection with a Grant meeting lately. Mr. Coombs said he, too, bad # distinct recolle: i Dame attached to a call fora Grant meeting. Mr. Hawkins, the secretary, ctated that he could vouch for Mr. Howe Leing ‘sound on the goose.” After further debate, bis name was referred to the executive committee for further scrutiny as to his political status. ATTEMPT TO HULD ANOTHER MERTIN: Here some of the delegates who had met for the purpose of forming a central executive com- mitice for the Greeley and Brown wing, com- menced to grumble because they could not get possession Of the room to transact their intsi- ness. Mr. Maloney, from the 3 district, seemed Ppy about it. Finally the virtu- ne stated that it would be im- practicable for the del s to hold a meeting, there being but four districts represented. Mr. Hutchins moved that the secretary of the Gree- 1 d Brown club be instructed to publish a Tr % meeting of the delegates of the several {rict clubs to meet on next Tharsday night at the board of wade rooms and report to the sec- retary, Mr. Hawkins, for basi . Consider- ale discussion followed, during which angry words passed between Meéssts. MeGill and Ma- loney, of Georgetown, in reference to the right of the latter to hold a place in that delegation. Mr. Maloncy said “HE WOULD ATTEND TO MR. M'GILL ovT- sipB.” Mr. Joknson moved that the Greet Brown club t and journ, and turn the ball over to elegat Mr. J. H. Crane objected, as there were not enough of the delegates present to hold a meeting legally. Mr. Maloney wished to know Whether the Greeley and Brown clubs were expected te take active part in the muni- cipal election. Mr. H. S. Da municipal matters had nothing to do with the Greeley and Brown clubs. Mr. Marcelias West thought they conld attend to both national and manici- pal matters. CAPTAIN MOORE ON THE WAR PATH. Captain W. W. Moore got the tloor and stated in rather an excited manner that an attempt had been made to pvevent the election of Greeley and Brown delegates in the 12th district bya Ting of strikers, who appeared to be headed by & well-known ambitious youth. He denounced the attempt and the leader of it, Mr. William Dickson. Mr. J. H. Crane here stated that there Was a conspiracy on foot to break up the Greeley and Brown elubs, and that the board of public tks and their hirelings are always to be found their meetings. Only a few were aware of the facts, but the whole matter would be made pab- lic m a day or two. A motion offered by Mr. Fenwick that the delegates meet the ciub on Wednesday night was then adopted, and the meeting dispersed.

THEIR NOMINATION POR CONGRESS—A NOM- INATION AS IS A NOMINATEBR. Yesterday after our re; of the convention at Union League hall fclosed, the motion to re- consider the vote by which, at the previous ses- sion, the nominations were closed was carried. K. D. Ruffin wished to place in nomination a credit to the Distriet of Columbia and the United States—Prof. John M. Langston. (Cheers.} Mr. M. H. Hunter, after saying the time had come when they should not make an on color, nominated Col. J. W. Le [Ap- ag Mr. Augustus Grimes, atter a tirade against the board of public works, named Mr. Chas. F. Peck. [Cheers.} Christopher Columbus Briscoe spoke of the eee jens of one ular man—Mr. F. A. joswell. [Cheers.] Mr. Henry Lacey extolied his friend F. A. Bos- well, but he suspended to give the president time to caution gentlemen not to smoke, as Jadies were in a hail above, and smoked females were not the thing in a Christian land. Mr. Jobn T. Costin commenced a little speech by speaking of stages, and paying a high tribute to Mr. Boswell. Mr. W. O. Green spoke of a candidate who was ‘as sound as a dollar note’—Prof. A. M. Green. [Cheers.] Mr. W. H. Beil moved that the nominations close. [Applause.] Mr. Piowden urged that no candidate shonld be supported unless he stood square upon the platform adopted. Mr. Henry Peyton seconged the nomination of Col. J. W. LeBarnes, sting that he would sooner be ‘a dog and bay the moon” than be the slave of any man. A number of motions were made and amid some confusion the chair ordered the roll of districts to be calied. “Prot.” A. M. Green rose to speak, when ob- jection was made that he was not a delegate, ut he finally obtaimed a hearing and withdrew his name. ‘he name of Mr. Ruffin was first ealled, and he proceeded to speak of his candidate, Prof. Langston. The couyention voted to give each member five minutes to explain his vote, and most of them embraced the opportunity. Mr. Augustus Grimes, when his name was called asked to withdraw the name of Mr. Pock. The first ballot was announced as follows: LeBarnes, 29; Boswell, 14; Langston, 8; Peck, 1; Green, 1. ' [Cheers.} Mr. O. D. Barrett read from Tae Star an ar- ticle in relation to Mr. Langston, stating that he was favorable to the election of Gen. N. P. Chipman. Dr. J.L. N. Bowen said that the publication was a base fabrication, and gotten up for politi- cal purposes. Mr. Barrett considered the article a ‘‘murder- ous’ attack on Mr. Langston. Mr. Bowman moved that a recess be taken. Mr. Atkinson moved that they proceed to bal- lot efter allowing Mr. A. M. Green ten minutes to address the meeting. ‘This was objected to, and amid confusion Mr. W. ©. Coster started out, the president using nis gavel in so lively a manner that the head went off. out finally the turbulent spirits were quelled. When Mr. Kuftin’s name was calied on the second ballot he asked to withdraw the name ef Mr. Langston, as he found that intrigue was at work to defeat him. He predicted that the esl- orec men of the convention would live to see the bg they had brought upon themselves rt, Henry Lacey read a telegram from F. A. Boswell, stating that the platform was satistac- tor . Ordway believed that the publication in relation to Prof. Langston was entirely erro- neous. Dr. J. L. N. Bowen said their candidate had been deserted in the hour of victory, and he wished it distinctly ynderstood that he did not believe Mr. LeBarnes could carry this District. The second ballot resulted—LeBarnes, 35; Boswell, 14; Langston, 5. A faint oheer followed this announcement. Mr. Barrett moved that the nomination of Mr. LeBarnes be made unanimous; lost. Mesers. Ordway, Curry and Davis were ap- pointed a committee to wait onthe would-be delegate to Congress, and in about 2% seconds returned with the candidate, be having been fust outside of the door. Some cheering or rather attempts atit greeted bis appearance and he was escorted to the stand, where he said that he was not prepared to reply in fitting terms to the compliment peid him. He bad no ambition to peqell and only entered the contest because of the terrible growing evils in the District which he believed it his duty to ee He had resolved to resist them if he stood alone and his fight would be the overthrow of the District government. He knew that they hadimuch to meet, and the board of public works with the money gained from taxes, and the papers, would overhaul everything even to draining hell itself to expose his party and him- self. He knew that there was before him at- tainable success. He knew that the scene must be lifted, and those tive men removed if for the welfare of our citizens. To the interest of self- preservation all minor considerae tions should give way. ‘They should know noth- ing but the rights of the people. To them he should go for a gecision, and if it was found that there were ethers that could better lead them to suecess he would yield the place. He did not credit the assertion published in relation to Mr. Langston, because he could not think he would come inte their convention in bad faith. He thanked them for the nomination. Mr. Ordway offered a resolution, which was adopted, that whenever the sub-commitiee of the general committe deemed it necessary they should have the power to call the convention together at such time and place as they might deem proper. “Prot.” Green ended the proceedings by a speech.

The officer took him in custody and be resisted. The officer explained that a charge was pending against Himber for ran- ning @ cart withouta number. ‘The judge fined accused for profanity and dismissed the charge of resisting an officer. James Brown, for failure to keep on the right hand side in driving a wagon, was fined $5. John Neal, same; Jane Davis, vagrancy; workhouse. Joseph Brown, using profane aud indecent language; $5. DID'NT WANT TO BE DUNNED. Addison Day, assault and battery on Adeline West. The latter testified that Day had stolen some money from her some time ago, andevery time he passed her house her children would say something tohim about it. This occurred last Awan J night, when Day caught up a brick and threw it at her; dismissed. A PAMILY Row. Catherina Miller, charged with assault and battery on Barrick Burnstine. These are neigh- bore, and Burnstine testified that a dispute arose about some dirty water, which the Millers ac- cused Burnstine’s children of throwing into the street ip front of their house, when Peter Miller threw a stone at him in his own house, strikin, him on the head, and raising a boil on bis heat as big as his tist. It wastestined forthe defence that Burnstine got one of the children to call Mrs. Miller “a d—d old tholic,”” which led to words and blows on both sides; that the Burn- oo did their full share of the striking; $5 each. “SLEW-POOT LIZ” OVERHAULED. Elizabeth Johuson, alias “Siew-foot Liz,” charged with keeping a bawdy house on Street, between 15th and 13% streets. Sergeant Vernon testified to the bad character of this woman and to the fact that the lowest kind of characters visit her, both day and night. He found lewd people in the house last night when they raided it. ‘This was the second time she had been raided on this charge. Officer Rud- erick testified to the situation of persons he found in the upper rooms. Several other wit- neases testified to the same effect.

The Earth Ont of Order. ‘The London Telegraph, alluding to the inunda- tione, earthquakes, &c., which have been visit- ing Europe lately, says : Something eurely must be the matter with the internal and external health of the litue planet upon which we live. The earth is apparently out of order, and her malady takes the form or yoleanic eruptions, earthquakes, cyclones and hurricanes in the warmer latitudes, and ofdamp, wretched weather or ruinous floods in the colder regions. We Britons have passed a moist, un- enial spring here at home, and our farmers Cegin to ask each other with anxiety whether the drenched grain crops can be nursed by any amount of future sunshine into a good harvest. Meantime, the sunshme does not come, or will not stay when it does come; and the grass, which has been growing fast, with all this wet, wants bright skies to make it seed and meliow properly. But the state of things upon many parts of the continent is far more serious. During the last fitteen or twenty days floods of extraordinary volume have rayaged some of the finest and most fruitful parts of mid-Europe. Bohemia has especially suffered. A tremendous rain storm recently broke over have since rolled from mountain and upland that the rivers of that province are like ragin, seas, while fully one-eighth of its pastures an: arable land lies under wat Houses and farm- steads have been swept away; whole villages, indeed, have disappeared. with live stock, stacks, implements, and (what is worst of al!) scores, nay, it 1s said hundreds, of the agricul- tural inhabitants. The Moldau and Eger, thus breternaturally swollen, have poured a tremen- dous volume into the Elbe, which has in turn flooded its banks with great damage. Other German rivers bave similarly burst their bounds, and even steady {|r time has gone mad and submerged the couity near Strasburg, while further off the Moselle, near Nancy, presents the aspect of a vast and tempestuous lake. Switzerland has experienced a correspondin, visitation. At Berne the Aar has overtiowec in the town; Friberg and Valais are drenched; the pleasant cantons near and far beneath the Bernese and Pennine Alps have seen their bridges swept y, their growing rye and oats laid low, and their hay crops sodden: But, next to Bohemia, the case of North Italy appears, perbaps, the worst. The lakes and riversof Lombardy have been gorged with a flood of waters equalling or exceeding that which came down in 1869. The mountain roads of the Simplon and St. Gothard have been rent and blockaded by furious torrents, bursting their embankments and leaping through the massive bridges which span them. The Sesia, Maggia, and other Alpine channels which lead the up- per waters to the plains, have flung a foamin, jeluge into the lakes of Maggiore, Lugane an: Como, and these, no longer able to discharge it fast enough by the Ticino, Adda and Po, have risen above bank and wall, and laid the flax and mulberry districts of Lombardy undera sea of inundation which stands half-way up the tel- egraph poles, and is reported to have wrought ruin estimated at many millions of livres. We might lengthen the melancholy catalogue of damages by speaking of the ‘Loire, the Rhone, and many other rivers of France, which have followed the example of the Alta-Italian streams; but enough has been said, no doubt to prove that while our farmers are soaked, those of neighboring countries have been deluged, if, indeed, the worst be over yet.

AMERICAN NEWS BY WAY OF PARIS—START- LING ADVENTURES ON A PACIFIC RAILBOAD TRA (From the Paris Figaro.} It isknown that the railroad from San Fran- cisco to New York passes through the reserva- tions of several tribes or Indians, who inyari- ably regard the locomotives as terrible mon- sters created by the Manitou to exterminate the red man. Several times already the Indians have attempted to throw the trains off the track. In these enterprises they were led by one of the fiercest of their chiefs, a Cherokee named Naha, and surnamed Mocking Bird. Ali their at- tumpts polis ¢ failed, Naha resolved to change his tactics. Accordingly,on the 2d of June last, he concealed himself near the rails, and with ex- traordinary activity bounded upon the footboard of train No. 76, from San Francisco to New York. He then slipped along the train till he reached the locomotive, where he killed the fireman with a blow of his tomahawk, stabbed the engi- neer with his knife, and after scalping them, jumped on the tender, brandishing the scalps and howling out a savage war song. The eettlers — the line became terrified as they saw the train, which now dashed along 9 a fearful speed, driven by the ferocious engineer. ‘The passengers all cried out for help. Their situation was extremely perilous; in fact they were running into the jaws of death. Finally an officer of the navy, Mr. Henry Pierce, de- termined to sacrifice himself to save his fellow- passengers. Armed with a long dirk knife, he ran along the footboard of the train and jumped upon the engine. The chief uttered a@war cry and brandished his tomahawk, and a hand-to-hand struggle was commenced over the bodies of the engineer and the fireman. ‘The passengers put their heads out of windows, and with an ayxiety which may easily be im- agined, tried to see the fight. in about a min- ute Pierce fell mertally wounded under Mock- ing Bird, who. in the twinkling of an eye, scalped him. But, while he was triumphantly waving the scalp of his victim in the air, Mr. Pierce, who was still living, had sufficient strength to jump up and lunge his knife into the Indian's breast, rai him instantly. He then crawled to the valve handle, shut off the sieam, and the train stopped. The ngers ran to the assistance of this brave officer, but it was too late; he died two hours afterward. A Dxcipep SoctaL SENsaTion was recent: created at Lima, Pera, by the marriage of H. M. Brent attache of the United States Legation, and Miss Micaela, eldest daughter of Don Car- los Delgado Moreno, of Lima. Beport 0 peony of the wedding as unprecedented!y grand and brilliant. The bride is reported worth five mil- lion dollars. Georgetowa Advertisements, Y¥ THOS. DOWLING, Auctioneer; Georgetown. 145 SHARES GEORGETOWN GAs L| CO.
