A call had been pub- Lsbed for a caucus at 9 o'clock, but at that bour pot many of the delegates: and there appeared to be a general dit i Uon not to “cut and dry” the business of the po te #0 no caucus was heid. was. , ip and about the hall, which continued u; to the hour when the convention was calli to order. There were were 200 per- /#OD8 present; among them M. Green and ©. H. Imes, (both of them of the Lincoln Hall convention, and who took seats here,) Col. Cook, F. A. Boswell, Arthur Shepherd, Morris Mu: Hon. Joseph Segar, Col. 8. 8. Smoot, SG! Carroll, ME Ureli and Col. Timothy ‘Lubey. Pt 11 o'clock Mr. Jerome A. Johnson, as chairman of the central committee, called the convention to order, and stated at — the reasons for repudiating the so-called Serenten of the 2ith of March, at Lincoln pail. THE BOWEN-GREEN CONVENTION DE- NOUNCED, AND EX-GOY. SHEPHERD EN- DORSED. “A majority of that body at Lin- He said: nln Hall consisted of an frresponsibie, irreg- ular, unavtborized, and unrepresentative mass. Irresponsible, for the reason that with @ few exceptions a large number were entirely unknown, possessing neither ele- ment of respectability or responsibility, 80 necestary to ensure harmony and success in @ comvenbtion of this character. Irregular, for the reason that the leaders of that move ment were not (and are not) in the confideace of the republicans of this District; becaus they attempted and did establish a ‘color line,’ by refraiving to notify publicly the republicans of the District of the proposed convention on the 27th of March, through the Pant channels; confining said notices to a few colored churches, entirely igvoring our white fellow-republicans, and preventing a truly represevtative convention. Irregmar and illegal, for the reason that a large majority of the men compasing the Lin- coln hall body were .eiected in small rooms, in remote nnd inaccessible cor- ners of the several distriets—some without the formality of an election, and others se- lected on the morning of the convention, to be used as occasion required; by A. M Green, who claims to be a citizen of this District, and a delegate to the convention, acd a representative man of the republican ity of the District of Columbia, * * * efore I call u you to deliberate, I would especially cail your attention to that part of the mob pi ipgs at Lincoln Hall which fatled to utter one line in behalf of the pres- ent administration or the great national re- publican party. In that, however, there may bave been some degree of consistency, in order to avoid seif stultification. For it | itis@ notorious fact that the nominees of that body were the most outspoken and vi- tuperat.ve enemies to the republican party and its principles in 1872. Our illustrious Chief Magistrate was a target for the malice and vindictiveness of these men, the white prompted by a private evance which should bave never entered into a canvass of principles; the colored, it is alleged, by the “few sbeckles of silver.” And these com: pose, geatiomen, your representatives ( and delegates (?) to Cincinnati. After referring to the debt of gratitude the colored men owe the cage po nande and ihe present administration, be :—I beg, fellow republicans, that you pardon my di- version tn referring toa citizen of tais Dis- triet, in whom we should all havea just ide. I refer to the Hon. Alexander R. Shep- erd, the man of executive ability, business Sagacity, and irue republican principles. The “detective press” throughont the coun- try, and other powers less influential, may decry, abuse and denounce the man, but we here in the Distric. of Columbia know him favorably and well as the true friend to the down-irodden, the workingman, and toevery interest having for ity object progressive Principles. The best recommendation for a man after 4&ilis the relation he bears to his fellow.townsmen. Here we know Governor Shepherd, and propose to irdorse him regard- less of outside or foreign opinion. TEMPORARY ORGANIZATION. Messrs. RW. Tompkins, W. A. Cook, F. A. Boswell, Wm. Tindall and Arthur Shep- berd were named for temporary chairman, and the other nominees having declined, Mr. Shepherd was unauimously elected, and he briefly returned thanks, as did Mr, C.

Barton was requested to address the conven- ton, and did A £0, and was followed by Mr. 0! ames Reyny RESOLUTIONS. The committee on resointions returned, and Colonel W. A. Cook offered the follow- ie: Resolved, That we regard the continued ex- istence of the republicaa party of primary importance. The chief defender, protector 50 a8 lative dist: ittee was and vindicator of the country in the past, the future as well as the seat, calls for its wisdom, triotism a: statesmanship. Resolved, at in the democratic party, estimable in social and private life as many of its members are, we look in vain for the a purposes and wisdom demanded for the perpetuity and em ge | of the country. And it is @ significant fact, calling for the attention of every citizen, that the Honse of Representatives, largely under its control, has pot originated or pressed to a copclusion a single measure tending to pro- mote the interests of business or of labor in any of their diversified forms. On the con- ary, it has exhausted its energies in «l- most useless and fruitless investigations, and net a few of its members have well esrned the appellation of The Great Incom- eter ts. z Resolved, That we respectfally recommend to the profound consideration of the demo- eratic party two curreot maxims—trst, “consistency ts a jewel” and 2d, “people who live in glass houses showlt not throw ‘stones? Aud while we are anxious, as far as possible, to “bury the bitter and bloody past,” and’ to cultivate kind feelings and friendly rela- tons, we suggest that this cannot be done by vindictive and continued assailmenis of the characters and acts of those who de- fended and stood by the nation in its hours of extreme iland resisted treason in the counsels of the nation and on the fields of battle: especially if the denunciation and | aspersion emanate from those who did all | they could te destroy the first nation of the eivilized world. Resolved, That we fully approve the ad- ministration of U.S. Grant,an accomglished General, @ hero Of rare ability and success on the fields of battle; he has been eminent- ly wise and prudent as president of the na- Gon, and bis patriotism and statesmanshi| bave both been fully established. And ami reckless vituperation and low aspersions no one has or can int to a single corrups or bad act in the two terms of his acministration. History — impartial | and fair—will piace bis name in the true and | grand positions which hehas won and held 6 @ military chieftain and statesman. Resolved, That we believe fully in the right and advantages of self-government, local as well as national, and that a government of | the District should be provided wisely, com- bining the interests of the national govern- ment with the Interests of the citizens by means of appropriate appointments and the elective franchise. The interests of the lat- tershould not be ignored, but be carefally studied and promoted; and especially be- cause the District is unrepresented in either | House of Congress. Kesolved, That the republican citizens of the Distriet should be represented in the Cincinnati convention by tried and consist- ent members of the party, and not by those | Who in the last campaign arrayed themselves | —— U. 8. Grant and the departed Henry ‘tison. Resolved, That the delegates of the District should be urtrammeiled by instructions, and be free to aid in the selection of the wisest and best nominces for President and | Vice President. The reading was frequently Interrupted | with applanse. | The convention determined, on motion of Mr. Syphax, to proceed to the election of | delegates. | A rambling debate took place as to how they shon!d proceed, and 1t was finally de- termined that the first ballot should be In- formal, and that the roll should be called by districts. | The secretary commenced to call the roll at 2 o’clock, and Mr. Buxer asked to explain bis vote, but there was considerable objec. } lion, and Mr. B. asked to cast his vote with- ‘enth District—J.D.

The case of Denhsm Gorman, charged with the murder of albert Leide, on Saturday, the 4th of September last, was next callet, Messrs. Wells for the ition, and Mr. Hepkle for defence, assisted_by Prof. ag of the law department of Georgetown col- cise occurred in the basement restaurant of the St Cloud hotel, on the evening of a tember 4th, 1675. Denham Gorbam, a well- known carpenter, about 30 years old, had been on a drunken frolic for several weeks, and on this occasion went into tbis restaa- rant and called for @drink, which the bar- keeper declined to give him, thinking he had enough. An altercation followed, during which Albert Leide, a young German, a jew- eler by trade, working near by, on F street, entered the restaurant. The two men were entire strangers, and in @ good-hatured spirit Leide attempted to interpose some conell- iatory remarks to soothe the anger of Gor- map, and @ slight scuffle followed, during which Gorman drew a revolver and shot Leide, killing bim almost instantly. Gor- man seeing what he had done, turned out of the room aud fled down the street, and was arrested by Mr. Thos. P. Lane, who turned him over to the officers, and he was commit- ted to jail. Considerable time was spent this morning in getting a jury. Finally the twelve were empannelled out of the eighteen summoned, as follows:—S. V. Noyes (foreman), James Fry, T. J. Buckey, David Jackson, Edward P. eich, Samuel Queen, I. G. Coombs, Jonn #H. Ricbar‘son, James A. Loveless, James Barker, John H. Fergoson and Eaward F. Simpson—two being colored men. Distaict Attorney Wells mace the opening address to the jury, briefly detailing the cir. cumstances of the murder aud what he ex ected to prove in the trial. He was fol- jowed by Mr. J. W. Snarp, @ young lawyer. nephew of the marshal, who delivered his maiden effort before a jury,and it was the general opinion that it was a very creditable one. Thomas P. Line was the first witness, and testified that he reached the scene of the murder soon after its occurrence; saw some one coming up the steps of the restaurant With @ pistol in bis hand, and ran down the Street to arrest him but was warned by the ctators not to do it,as the man would shoothim. He followed him, however, and jJaid his hand ov his shoulder; he was sing towards the avenue. Witness caught hol of bis pistol and took it from him, when Gorman remarked, “You've caught me,” He then handed him over to the officer. Cross-examined:—Covld not say that the prisoner was iutoxicated. Hedid not appear Wo be £0, nor to be much exeited. John Norton was the next witness, and tes- tifled that he was with Captain Lines. Gor- man looked like he had been drinking; was evidently under the influence of liquor. Officer Hinkle testified that on 9th street he observed Mr. Lii tody, who appeared to be intoxicated. The istol was taken from hi ook him to the station. On his way there witness asked him what he shot that man for; the person replied that hedid not intend toshoot him. He made no resistance, more than to hold back like any other dranken man would. Louis F. Schenck testified that he was bar- keeper in Weinholtz’s saloon when thehom- ieide took place in the basement of the St. Cloud; he came in and called for drinks for himself and some friends, some three be- sides himse f. The witness said the prisoner and friends had taken three drinks, when the proprietor, Mr. Weiuholtz, came outand told him to give them no more. Gorman paid nothing for the drinks, but his friends paid. At this time some other gentiemen from the outside came in and got a drink. ‘Witness told Gorman to pay for his drinks before he left. Gorman said it was ad—d ie, that he owed him nothing. Witness re- plied that he had plenty of witnesses that he (G_) bad ordered the drinks, and ali that he wanted was his pay. Gorman caught him by the arm and gave him @ shove, remark. ing that it was a d—d lie; he owed him noth- ing. Witness called for Mr. Weinholtz, say- ing, “Charlie, come ou; the man wants to fight.” Weinholtz came in took Gorman away from witness, and he went behind the bar. Weinholtz took Gorman outside. A‘- ter this be returned to the bar, and his friends told Weinholtz that be would make nothing by this; that Gorman was their friend. Immediately after he got behind the bar he heard a shot fired, and saw Mr. Leede fall back. [Here a diagram of the premises ‘was produced, and the relative positions of ail explained.) When the shot was fired, oo eaumanl was two or three steps from Mr. le. Cross-examined:—Gorman first came in With Mr. Adams; Gorman was as sober as witness is. Charies L.
