H. Hol- den, secretary, and Peter Mack, treasurer. On motior. of Mr. Hoyt, a committee of five was consisting of Messrs. Hoyt, Sprague, Young, and Lyneh, on resolutions MR. SPRAGUE’S OPINION OF MR. CARROLL. Mr.: prague, in the absence of the committee, addres ed t he club, saying that in the absence of the resident the meeting had been called in opposition to Mr. Carroll, the present member of the House of Delegates. The republicans of the 20th district have become dissatistied with him, as they believe he has not done them jus- tice. He haa failed to secure labor for the laborers and contracts for the contractors of the District, and instead they now have men from almost every state in the Union doing the work Which of right belongs to the citizens. “He did not believe Mr. Shepherd himself entertained any respect for Mr. Carroll. In this state of things they do not blame Mr. Shepherd, but they do think Mr. Carroll derelict in his duty to the people of his own district. They must have & man (who, would not sit in his seat in the louse o} egates and, permit such @ man as D. W. Bliss to” e CALL HIM A LIAR, POLTROON, AND COWARD. In short, they want a man and not a thing—not one who would violate his poorhouse meat con- tract. He called attention to the various con- tracts now being executed in 3d, ith, and 7th streets east, asked who are doing them’? Not a citizen of this District, but personal friends of Mr. Carroll. What has he done for the laborers of the District? [ Voices, ‘“Nothing! nothing!”} They had tried him ‘twice, and that’s enough. Let them take hold and elect man that Mr. Shepherd and Governor Cooke respect, and throw aside Joe Carroll. Had he done his duty, they would have given him their support again. He warned them to do their duty at the registration, and_ they would elect their man whoever he might be. Mr. Bell defined his position ina laminous manner. RESOLUTIONS ADOPTED. The committee, through Mr. Hoyt, here in- troduced resolutions that the sewerage bill should -be so modified as to relieve the large number of property-holders of this District froin @ portion of the present onerous tax, and that itshould be equalized; that the patronage of this district should be given to citizens residing herein; that we have nothing to do with the Uiack man’s party; that both WHITES AND BLACKS HAVE CLASPED HANDS for the benefit of the District, and that this con- vention, standing upon the broad platform of republican principles, recognizes the right of bo general oF central committee to control our action in the election of our candidate for the legic'*ture of this District; that while we in- dorse the Board of Public Works in making public improvements, we do deprecate the ac- tion of sai? board in awarding so many con- tracts to persons whc*? Tesidence is abroad, who own no property here, and pay no (axes; that wedo CENSURE OUR PRESENT DELEGATE for the active part he took in ee upon us the unequal apportionment of the tax imbodied in the bill known as the sewerage Dill, and do object to any bill of an equivalent tenor; and do furtuer assert that all tax should be the same throughont all portions of the District of Co- lumbia; and that it is our desire that the Coun- cil be elected by the people, and that we pledge ourselves to support the regular republican nominee. The resolutions were adopted, and the club resolved itself into @ mass meeting, with Mr. Gibson as chairman. THOMAS M'MAHON NOMINATED FOR THE LE- GISLATURE. ae A motion was adopted to go into a nomination for cardidate to represent the district in the next Legislative Assembly. Mr. C. H. Holden opposed this action, saying it seemed to him to be hasty. He was {n favor of waiting until the day appointed by the cen: tral committee, the 16th instant. He desired to see things fairly conducted, and thought by the action proposed Mr. Carroll would charge that the meeting had been sprang upon them with- out due notice, and that he would try and get at Fitzhugh’s wharf, foot of 6th s ting Captain Bonneville sounded th arm (five bells), in order to test the efficiency of his ‘ffcers and crew, as well as the means provided for suppression in case of fire. Upon the signal being given less than twenty-seven seconds elapsed before the water from the hose was pouring through every part of the steamer, and in thirty-two seconds all the buckets were down and in use, life preservers distributed, &c. In one minute from the signal for boats (three Delis) the forward larboard life-boat was over the side; in one minute and twenty seconds the two starboard boats, and the att larboard boat followed in just one minute and thirty secords from time ‘of signal. All of this was accom- plished without disorder, and satisfactorily de- Mmonstrates the thoroughness of the system for Prevention of loss of life and property by fire on the Lady of the Lake. Tofprevent the quo- tation of ‘lock the stable after the horse is stolen,” it only is necessary to add that the crew of this favorite steamer have had a regu- lar weekly drill in the service explained ever since she made her appearance on the Po- tomac. ‘Tee Rockvitie Fare.—Unusual interest is felt in this neighborhood this year in the coming Fair at Rockville. It is the twentieth annual exhibition of the Montgomery County Agri- cultural Society, (which embraces a member- ship of unusually high standing,) and will be «i on Wednesday, Thursday and Friday, toth, ith and 12th of Sept.

In view of what has heretofore been regarded by all as an irreparable separa- tion by these two branches, this may be re- garded us one of the signs of the approaching Willenilum. The overtares look. towards this reconciliation are understood to have originated with the latter branch of this sect, whic! is by far the most numerous in thus section of the country. This union has awakened a new in- terest among the Quakers in the District. Suniovs AccrpenT—On Saturday evening as Mr. Richard Wells, of New York, who ison a visit to some relatives in this city, was riding ut Connecticut avenue,his horse shied and took fright at the stone crushing machine near M street, throwing him from the bu, ZY, dislocat- his hip and severely bruising his body.

Mr. Hoyt replied that there was nothing un- fair about it; they had met in the capacity of a mass meeting, as republicans. and they migh just as well do their business in their own way, ‘as they were sure to elect their man. Mr. Holden thought they should respect the edict of the central committee. Mr. Hoyt.—We don’t propose to be governed by any little committee of three; the 20th dis- trict club can transact its own affairs.” Here Mr. Thomas McMahon was nominated by acclamation as the republican nominee of the 20th district for the House of Delegates. Great cheering followed this, and a committee was at once chosen to wait upon that gentleman, and invite him to the hall. Soon aiterwards he ap- peared and addreseed the club. After thanking them for the honor, he said he would, if elected, do everything in his power to advance the in- terests of his constituents and the citizens of the district. His remarks were received with loud cheering and great unanimity of feeling. —_———— Magistrates and Constables, PROCEEDINGS OF THE LEGISLATIVE INVESTI- GATING COMMITTEE. Yesterday, at the session of the Long com- mittee to Investigate magistrates, &c., Con- stable Kimmel testified in relation to the com- int against him by Jeremiah Robinson, that In'the latter part of June, 1872, Robinson placed in his hands accounts amounting to something over $40; went to see Beyers four or five times betore he succeeded in finding him; when he did see him he called at his office and said he would soon pay the $7.50; told Robinson of this offer, ard H. made no objection; when he next called told him what had been done, and that the money had been attached for a bill of costs, and showed bim a ory of the attachment which bad been served by Constable A. J. Thomas, who had returned a fi. fa. against Robinson nulla bona for the samé costs, (both papers here shown, ) dated November 25 and 27 respectively; he received from Beyer $7.50, and the attach- ment was for 88 only $6.75 of which was in my bands after deducting 10 per cent. commission on the amount colected for Robinson. Mr. Chambers in appeared and testified that Constable O. Kimmell attached proceeds of sales of property in the hands of Duncauson, Dowling & Co., to pay a jadgment in favor of Turner Sapp m, who informed deponent that Kimmell ret to pay him any more than $1.50, a as this deponent is informed and believes, Kimmell received from Duncan- son, Dowling & Co. at least the sum of $21; di ponent seems to have lost his property b ments, but his debts do not appear to been paid to the amount of the sales of the prop- erty; deponent has since learned that Kimm:i! went to H. I. Gregory when he had attached bis (deponent’s) horse and wagon, and, repre- pam ny | to him that he could make his (Greg- ory’s) bill out of Chambers’ property, agreed to do re for 25 per cent., which G: ry told this deponent that he gave him for so doing; this ac- counts, to deponest’s mind, for Kimmeli’s will. the children’ ‘itional beeq ent!

A SCOUNDREL ForLep—Attempt to Ruin a School Girl—This morning Officer Clements, of the Sth precinct, while riding up from East Washington, in one of the street cars, noticed a suspicious intimacy between a young man, a clerk in the War department, and a little girl about fourteen years of age, daughter of re- spectable parents residing in that part of the city, and determined to follow them. The girl and her male friend got out at 12th street and walked to @ house of assignation, on G, near 12th street, and entered, and in a few moments afterwards the officer followed, and took him and the young girl away and conducted them to police headquarters, where she stated that she did not know where she was being taken; that the man had been visiting her father’s house as a friend, and hai been treating her as a pet, making quite free with her, which she did not think Was wrong: that he gave her a dollar this morning and told her to ride up to the city with lima mstead of going to school at the Wallach School building, and she did so to oblige him. Her parents were sent for and soon appeared, and were amazed on learning the facts. As no crime had been committed no action could be taken by the offivers, so he was released by the officers, and the girl turned over to her parents, who will doubtless be more careful of her asso- ciations in the future. Major Richards atonce addressed a note to the head of the bureau where the scoundrel is employed, detailing the circumstances narrated above, and the sequel remains tobe told. He has also given orders to close up the house on G street,y:which has of late become quite notorious for such customers as the aforesaid gay and festive clerk. oe Tre GRAND TABERNACLE OF THE ORDER or GALILEANS.”—A certificate of incorpora- tion of “The Grand Tabernacle of the Order of Galileans”—Margaret A.
