BREED OF THE GOOD OLD DAYS OF YRAGE. The republicans of the second district met last evening at Union hall, Mount Pleasant, and were called to order by Mr. L.S. Emery. Mr. J. W. Buker was elected chairman pro tem., and Bir. Lane secretary pro tem., and, after some lively talk relative to a permanent organiza- tion, were elected permanently. Mr. Holland | made a few remarks, in which he objected to the usual form of manipulation in voting and “bulldozing” which characterizedra great many political gatherings. From character of the speaking which followed, If soon became apparent that thei were two factions at, work, one under the } ership of Mr. M. M. Holland, and the other under Richard Laws, who made a revolutionary. speech. which was up by loud plaudits from his ¢ gathered around him. <A regular wral ling set-to was engaged in between Mr. Holland and Mr. Laws, which elicited much ap- uch words of encouragement as at's ee it, old boy !” “Course great excitement prevailed. t seen such a political Mr. Breed arose, spectre. ed disputants, with a be- nign smile, and said “that it reminded htm of the good old times when the District had sut- frage.” The attendance was unusually large, belig more than one-half colored men, and it was found necessary to adjourn the meeting t a larger roonrin the hall.

Mr. Holland asked the chair that he be allowed to reply to any insinuating re. marks made by Mr. Laws and _ other. Mr. Laws made a long speech, in which he a satled Mr, Holland, and spoke in denunciato) terms of the many motions which had been offered by the other side. Mr. Holland arose, took off his overcoat, (whieh action was after- ward followed by his opponent, Mr. Laws,) and divancing to the front, made a speech which he question than any previous- He said the trouble with the colored people was the want of good leadership, and Ten who possessed enough brains and educ: tion ought “io know when and how to spe: He was in favor—@ At this point a colored outed, “I moves that the gem’men have f houreach, so that the organization can proceed with its legitimate business.” He was Tipally forced to sit down, and Holland was allowed to continue his remarks, He alluded to the way of voting by ballot as offering opportu- nity tor fraud.

During the election se mounted chairs all and commenced harangu ing the crowd, which was surging up to” the taty’s desk to vote, charg ing that some were voting twice. A regular pandemonium enstied_and confusion reigned throughout the hall. Mr. H.C. Har- mon {n casting his vote had it snatched fron his hand by some one and trampled under foot, Then ensued a clamor, which made the old hall fairly ring. ‘The police were called to the front, and Mr. H. retired to his seat and the excited mob und the desk were quieted sufficiently to hear the chairm: voice. The chair de- clared the polls closed and the vote was counted. The result was the election of Messrs. Buker, Gregory and Wormley as delegates, and John M. Browne, jr., and Benjamin Green as alternates. TWO SETS OF DELEGATES ELECTED TWENTIETH DISTRICT. Two republican meetings were held in the old twentieth legislativé district last night. Mr. Joseph Gibson, president of the old republican club in this district, was designated to call the FROM THE meeting in his district, but having failed to issue @ call up to Sunday night the chairman of the central committee requested C. O. Moore to call the meeting in that district. . Moore called a meeting at the Cosmopolitan ‘chu last evening by advertisement in yesterday Stax. Mr. Joseph Gibson also called a meeting to assemble at 4th southeast, but the nu ber was misprinted 695, The meeting at Cos- mopolitan church, on C street, Detween New Jersey avenue and ist street southeast, was called to order by Mr. Chas. Moore, but Before apy business was transacted the charge was made that there were many men_ present from. other districts who were log-rolling for thelr friends and endeavoring to influence the action of the meeting.

The chair called upon Mr. Bell to state just where he lived, and upon be- ing intormed decided that, Bell was a citizen of that district and had equal rights with others resent. This settled the business, as he would ear no further debate upon the’ matter, and Mr. Bell was solid. Nominations were made for e permanent president, M« Mi Cornish and Robinson being the After a vote taken by tell that Mr. L. A, Cornish was elected. Mr. Harry Godwin, city editor of the Republican, was un- animously elected secretary and Wm. H. Grim- shaw treasurer. The mass meeting then pro- ceeded to the election of three delegates and two alternates by tellers, it being agreed that all should go out of the hall and in returning one by one through. the tellers, who were stationed at the door, signify their choice of those placed in nomination—some ten in number—the three getting the largest number of votes to be de- clared the delegates, and the two next to be rs it was announced | that Me red the alternates.

After some dis- | lobbyin; | yoter should have the privilege of naming | cussion a motion prevailed that they take the vote again, this time the tellers to remain at the desk, and the secretary to ey the tally. Capt. rant said he believ ina __ fair thing. There was altogether too much by men outside the district; each three men. As for himself he withdrew from the contest, not caring to go to the central com- mittee. Mr. Wm. H. Brown moved that Messrs. Crane, Grant and Moore be declared the dele- gates by acclamation; not sustained, and the motion to vote over again prevailed.” This re- sulted in the choice of Messrs. J. 'T. Ballinger, Charles Moore and W. D. Tinney as delegates and Michael Robinson and J. H. Crane as alter- nates. The meeting adjourned in peace and harmony. At the meeting called by Mr. Gibson, a club $ organized with the following officers:— ph Gibson, president; Michael H. Robinson, vice president; James A, Bean, secretary; A! Grant, treasurer.

THE CASE OF STONE THE WIFE MURDERER.— This morning in the Court in General Term. the District’ Attorney and Mr. A. K. Browne were present in relation to the case of James Madison Wyatt Stone, convicted of murder and sentenced to be hung, which judgment was amtirmed yesterday. It will be remembered that the point was made yesterday, that the appeal having operated as a si nsion of the sentence for thirty days beyond the expiration of the General Term next following the Judgment that the limitation will expire in so few days, as not to give the prisoner Ume for Preparation for death. ‘The court this morning held that it had nothing further to do with the case than re- mand it to the Criminal Court. The District Attorney notified Mr. Browne that Stone would be — up to-morrow, and he will move for sentence, THE BLACK HIGHWAYMAN Ross SENT To Jan. In the Police Court, this morning, Wm.

ACCUMULAMNVE EVIDENCE AGAINST THE PRISON- ERS. ‘The grand jury 1s still engaged in examining witnesses as to the murder of George Philip Hirth on the .night of January 7th, for which “Babe” Bedford, Sam Pinn and Edward Queen- an are held in jail principally on the testimony of Johnson, who acknowledges having been | Paneres when the attack was made. Johnson aving been fuently in Ase his character does not stand high, and therefore to secure a conviction it becomes necessary that his evi- dence should be corroborated at every point. Owin character, there is an Impres- sion that with the evidence, as it is known to the public, no jury wouid convict. This im- P lon may be Correct, but there is much other evidence that the public knows noth- ing about, and some of it is known to but few of the police officials. It is sufficient to say that the evidence before the grand jury taken thus far substantiates Johnson at every point; that witnesses have been found and tes- Ufied who saw Jobnson meet the crowd at 12th and T streets on the night of the occurrence; saw them on i4ih street; heard Bedford asked and give the time; saw them on P street, and saw Johnson leaving the place. It is said that the grand jury are ready to-day to make a presentment, but there is some division among them as to whether they should present the four named or the three parties charged by Johnson. The desire of the District Attorney's office is that an early indictment and hearing should take place, but itis likely that their counsel will ask a postponement of the case until the excitement created by the murder shall have abated. Amusements, &c. NATIONAL THEATER.—The excellent perform- ance of Augustine Daly’s society play “Pique,” by the Fanny Davenport combination last even- ing, delighted a very large audience, Miss Dav- epport’s “Mabel Renfrew” is a well defined stage picture, almost painful in its realism when the pride and pique of the woman of the world roken down by sorrow and suffering. The company is large and well balanced, and last night showed itself capable of good work. Fail Justice was done to nearly all tite characters in the piece. “As You Like It” to-night.
