A mecting of “ property-holders, irrespective of party,” was held at Union hati, on 14th street. between F street and New York avenue, last | evening. J. J. Coombs, on being called for, quickly responded, although he was very ner- saying that it was evident the meeting wanted to be diverted.

WANTED TO KXOW if the meeting had any political signiticanc: The chairman replied that he um it was simply a meeting of tax payers wit. | any reference to party. Mr. Ordway, on ceiving this assurance, advanced to the 1 form which he oceuped for half an hour rut in a characteristic speech against the present system of taxation fur improvements. In the course of his speech he said oa Piatt had accused him oi stealing but be did't prove it. He, Ordway, was some like the Don; be might accuse the board of public works of stealing, but he might not be able to prove it. The speaker then took a new tack and gave a history of the dificulties in the republican party for two years past, giving | especial prominence to the pert he has played as a bolter from the regular organization. So prolix was he that the secretary, Mr. Bradley and several others left the hall. ENDORSING HIN. At the conclusion of Mr. 0.’s speech, Mr. Cogmbs, from the committee on resolutions, reported a series in favor of L. G. Hine for Cor gress, the candidates 0; 1d to the board of pablic works nominated for the House of Dele- gates, and the appointment of a committee of one fram ¢ach district for campaign purposes. MR. O. OBJECTS. Mr. Ordway here rose and said he hoped the resoluten endorsing Mr. Hine would be with- drawn. Mr. Boswell, he said, stands fair and square on a platform of Frinctles intended to protect the tax-payers and the people generally — virtually the same as that adopted by the con- ventuon which nominated Mr. Hine. There should be a conference of the friends of Hine and Boswell, and possibly A COALITION MIGHT BE FORMED. He advised them to show themselves the friends @t the colored men, and they wil! be supporied. He begged that the resolution endorsing Mr. Hine might be withdrawn, as he did not under- stand the meeting to be a political one. Mr. Wm. H. Huestis should vote for Hine, but thought the first resolution should be withdrawn for the sake of harmony. . Dr. C. B. Parvia here arose, apparently labor- ing under considerable excitemeut, and said it Jooked to him as if a plan had been concocted to cram a candidate down their throats, He feared he had got plate out of the Capitol IN BAD ComPany, for, as he looked aro~nd he saw but few friends. In fact, he believed, from all appearances, it was a democratic meeting got up forthe pur- pose of restoring the democracy to power in this district, and for one he would say let the board- of public works rule forever rather than the democracy! The Doctor here became very ve- hement, and cries of “I call the gentleman to order,” and “question,” “let’s vote on the reso- lutions,” &c.,came from all part of the hall. Dr. P. beepnrom, erg he was used to interrup- id would not be put down in any meet- ‘The whole thing,” said he, ‘is A OUT AND DRIED PLAN, to force down our throats a candidate who has neither’ merit nor social position.” The con- tusion at this juncture became very great, and the chair was called hams to declare thespeaker outof order. The chair, Mr. Plant, said he thought that with the exception of the personal remark, Dr. Purvis was inorder. Dr. P. then that the meeting looked like acut and dried aflair. H. Huestis said he wanted it distinctly understood that HE HAD SEEN BETTER DAYS; that he had not always been ademocrat, but once upon a time waka good republican. He denounced Congress as a *passel of blacklecs,” and sad it wasall useless to try toget relief trom them. A gentleman in the rear of the hall suggosted & committee of conference to consummate a union between the followers of HINE AND BOSWELL. The chair thought a conference committce advisable. Mercellus West waa a seeker after informa- tion, and {he chair informed him of the purport of the resolution : Frederick Schmidt ridiculed the idea of Mr. Hine withdrawing. “No, sir,” said he; “he is | our candidate, our captam inthe battle. We came here to organize a campaign committee. Laughter.) ” The chair eaid he understood the meeting was simply to oppose the board | T pub!ie works. Scbmidt here tried to read the cali tor the meeting, but said the print was too smali. He thereupon called a reporter to his aid, who read that portion of the call which embraces the phrase, ‘irrespective of party.” George —— said be came to take measures to prevent being robbed, and did not uuder- stand it was to be a political meeting. J. J. Coombs, more nervous than ever, said he didn't know what the meeting was called for, and there were several others on the committee im the same fix. They thereiore ASKED 6OME FRLLER ON THE COMMITTIRE, aud he said the meeting was called to aid in securing the election of Mr. Hine. [Loud !augh- ter.) “Now,” said be, “if we have made a m.s- take—if wefhave been too hasty—the resolutions can be easily dixpozed of in some other way, although I believe four-fifths of those present are in favor of Hine.” | Cries of “Yes, we are,” “Hurrah for Hine,” “Take a vote on the resulu- tion E Ke n E. aii said he came tothe meeting by accident, and that shows how som? people ¢an goof half-cocked. [This shatt was specially at Dr. Purvis.) He moved the recomtai! tal of the resolution , and that the committee report forthwith. ‘On taking @ vote, & majority vo'ed “aye” and the committee retired to the antu-room, where they were heard for some time after in loud and earnest discussion. Dr. Purvis again took the floor, aul said for one he COULD NOT ENDORSE L. G. WINB. Said he: “There are other questions more im- portant and dearer to me than the rights of property. Tbe rights of property are nothing to the rights of man. Under no circumstances will I suppert a man who wil! deny J rights. Isee a man on that committee who has fought against me since [ was a cuild, and who, because | happen to havea drop of biack biood in my veins, did all he could to pre m becoming a physician. Sooner wou ; life than vote for a man who would, if He could. REMAND TRE COLOMED PEOPLE TO SLAVERY.” Several persons called Pruvis to order wh he remarked that there are some persous so ig- norant they don't know how to treat a man with common courtesy. i A geutieman in the rear of the hall said that when a gentleman was called to order and would not sit down it showed that he was wholly withouteducativn. The gentleman bad no right toprate about human rights—that matter was settied long ago. THE RINE MEN STICK. At this juncture Brooke Mackall, from the committee’ on resolutions, said that the commit- tee had agreed to report back the resolutions as originally reported. Bir. Coombs here arose, more nervous than ever, and said he was surprised at what bis young friend had said. The geutleman was in- structed to report the resolutions without the resolution endorsing Mr. Hine, bat at the same time was to mzke a minority report on his own hook. Mr. Mackail insisted booing had obeyed the ructions of the commi as pag Thomas. of the committee, said he for one was to the first reso- lution.

He had nothing to say of hisopponents, other than that Mr. Hine was the representative of the Grecley democ- racy, and no true republican would be found voting that ticket.

A meeting of 7th district democrats and ‘lid- erals was held at the National base-ba!l grounds last night to nominate acandidate for the Honse ot Delegates, but action was postponed until after the bolting republicans had uamed a can- didate. The bolting repudlicans of the same district met at Bethel hall and nominated R. T, Freeman as their candidate tor the House of Delegates. ‘he 15th district Greeley and Brown club met at Wall's hail last night, and campaign finance committees were appointed. Mr. Cla- gett, their nominee for the House of Delegates, dressed the meeting. The 16th district Greeley club met last night at Beamer’s hall. Mr. 8S. B. English offered a series of resolutions, which were adopted, de- nouncing *‘the present misrule and mismanage- ment of our District attairs,” reaflirming the resolutions adopted by the Congressional nomi- nating convention, and cordialiy endorsing the the nomination of L. G. Hine as a candidate tor Congress and J.T. Coldwell for the House of legates. The Greeley and Brown club of the 22d dia- trict held a meeting on the corner of sth and L streets southeast, and the stereotyped addresses were made. ~ AT A MEETING of the Newspaper Press Union, the following resolutions of respect were unani- mously adopted: It hay ing seemed well in the wisilom of Al- mighty God to call from among us our associate, Mr. Wm.
