THE EVENING STAR: WASHINGTON, ‘D.C., FRIDAY, f- f FEBRUARY 8, 1884 THE REPUBLICANS ORGANIZING. Another Set of Delegates Chosen in the Fourth District—The Wonderful Tale Told by Chairman Dade—The Twen- ty-second District Gets Twisted Up in ® Parliamentary Knot and is Forced to Agfourn to Untwist Itself, ‘The Fourth District. Stax reporter climbed the labyrinthine statr- Way that leads to Fisher's hall, High and Gay streets, West Washington, last evening, and found a number of the republicans of the fourth legisla- Uve district assembled. The object of this meet- | ing was to reorganize the republican club of the district and elect delegates to the central commit- lee. A merting was held In this district about three Weeks ago, at which officers and del Were elected. Those interested in the meeting last night elatm that there was so much disorder at the first meeting, and So many voters finported for the occasion from tne other district the canal boats, that It did not properly represent the dis- trlet.” Hence, the delegates elected last night will contest the right of the delegates formerly elected to places in the central committee. ‘THE-CHAIKMAN FORGETS SOMETHING. Mr. Collins B. Crusor waselected temporary chair- man last night, and was proceeding with the pre- liminary business, when Mr. Goings stepped across the hall and whispered to him. eS, § ald»Mr. Crusor, apologetically, In re- ~ Goings. - Then he revealed the sub- ispered conference by announcing: customary, In meetings of the colored 0 have a few words of prayer.

Ruftin, Davenport, Jackson, Primus and Ferguson, a corimittee appointed for the purpose, Tetifed to nominate perm:nent oMcers. z ‘While they were absent Mr. Crusor addressed the assemblage. stating that they had expected to have some gentivmen there to address the clab on the niestion of suffraze, but the inclement weather had jubtless prevented thelr attendance. Suffrage, he said, was espectally important to the colored men. it behooved. them, as“colored ten, tO: so conduct themselves that the newspapers would not have to say that they held disorderly meetings. He sug- ested that there was Uttle use of having an organ- Hation simply: to elect two or three delegates (6 the central committee ouce in four years, and thought they should have an executive committee to look after the Interests of the colored inen of the Dis- tiet. The committee nominated the following lst of a Who were promptly and unanimously ‘nt, H. H. Dade; vice president, John has. E. Shelton; assistant secretary, Wm. Bell; tréasurér, Alfred Pope. MR. DADE TAKES THE REINS. Mr. Dade, jolly, philosophicai, old colored gentle- man, who wore a frilled shirt, and had his back hair twisted in a little queu, thereupon assumed the chair. “I suppose.” he observed, “the reporter 1s going to tell everything that is done, but you have given me the reins, aud I am going to drive where I : Pres lease. 1 will Lake care not todrive over any oue.” He made a speech saying that he had retired from Pouties, but upon seeing the District going to destruction he had come forth from hts retirement. Before entering upon other business, the chairman called upon the assembled republicans to come W With their contributions to pay the rent of the hal ‘The contributions did not come in very fast. THE CHAIRMAN TELLS A STORY. Mr. Dade, rising, sald: “While you are coming up with your money I will tell you a little joke. U3 a little Joke on myself, and I hope the reporter won't mut it down. ‘There were five men —, but,” sald r. Dade, patisinie “the money isn’t coming up.” Here a tardy contributor came up witha dime, and Mr. Dade coutinued his nurrative, which was to the effect that five men, including hiinselt, knew Where there was a lot of gold, and they entered into A sworn agreement that they would never go and get the goid or tell where tt was, unless all five of them went together. “Now,” sald Mr. Dede, when he had got the meeting thoroughly interested, “one of the men died. We fourknow where that pd Is, and ean’t go there because we swore not to Hint unless the five of us weal — swore ftom the Bi there 1s so much gold there that not one of you could wheel It away in Lwo cart loads.” ‘The story mnpressed the meeting with the herote integrity of the chairman Dut did not add anything to te iittle collection of dimes and nickles on the table, so the chairman sighed and sat down, DELEGATES AND COMMITTEES. ‘The committee on nominations reported the fol- lowing as delezates and alternates, and they were elected: Delegates—Arthur Gpings, C.B. Crusor, r., and James Davenport. Alternates—Amos Jen 1s, James Jack id Daniel Washington. Upon & motion of Mr. Ruffin, It was decided to ap- Int AD eXecutive comun{ttee to look after the la- orig men of the district, and to find employment for the unemploy®d when'possible. ‘The following Were appointed: Messrs. C. B. Crusor, sr... De. Runin, James Davenport, Alfred Pope, Clement Beckett, Charles E, Shelton, John H. Ferguson, L. XH. Primus, James Connell, H. I. Dade, sr., and Jas, Keon. ‘A canvassing committee, composed of ‘Daniel Washington, James Jackson, Wm. Bell, A. Snowden, A. Butler, W. W. Barber ahd Louis John- Son, Was also appotited. Speeches were made by a number of those pres- ent, congratulating the meeting upon the order maintained. Upon’ adjourning the chalr brought his cane down on the table and asked, had a good meeting, gentlemen? Haven't we had good meeting? “Yes,” sald several in concert, “Ther,” said Mr. Dade, “go home and behave yourselves as well indoors as you have out.” With this benediction the meeting dispersed. ‘The Twenty-Second District. ‘The twenty-second district republican club held its meeting for the election of delegates to the re- | Publican central committee at Mount Jezreel cuapel, near the navy yard, last night. A large portion of we club, however, either got stuck in the mud, of wich the twenty-second district seems to have @ monopoly, or else, knowing that there was no stove in the chapel, wisely remained at home. So when the president ¢ the meeting to order, about eight or nine members being present, he took the occasion to announce very solemnly that he was sur prised at the stati attendanes: that the ctub was a large and dignified body, which conducted itself very decorously, and had ‘never been ridicaled by the press, at the same time casting a side-long and impressive glance at the reporter.

THe WHITE BRETHREN DESERT. ‘The twenty-second district differs trom most of its sister districts in possessing a white president. ‘There were two other white men in the “chapel” early In the evening. one of whom was standing under the dim coal off lamp, which occupled a place of honor upon the blackened wall, busily e fu making ot a“ siete.” But both of these peared just before the meeting was called to order, ‘and the president was !eft the only white man in the room.

DISGUST 18 MAMYLAND AT THE FAILURE OF THEIR DIPIOMATS—MARYLAND KIGHTS TO BE TESTED IN THE COURTS. | ‘There is considerable disappointment expressed in regard to the failure of the Maryland oyster committee toreach an agreement with the @ir- ginia committee at the recent conference in Rich- mond. It was hoped that some settlement would have been reached concerning the Potomac river, even if the Pocomoke question had been deferred. ‘The proposition of the Maryland committee in- cluded recognition of their rights on both these questions, ‘The Baltimore Sun says: The upshot of the whole matter 1g that Virginia makes concessions in the Potomac which she refused 13 1882, and re- fuses concedsions in the Pocombke which she gTanted in that year. The Virginia law of 1882, Tejected by Maryland, prohibited dred, alto- gether in the Potomac, and permitted tongingin a portion of Pocomoke ‘sound. Virginia now offers to permit. rene ing in the Potomac, and to co-oper- ate with Maryland in enforcing laws for the pro- tection of that river, but refuses formal recogni- Uon of Maryland’s rights in the Pocomoke. She admits that Maryland has already equal rights in Pocomoke sound under the compact of 1765, pro- vided Maryland’s claim that the sound’ was included in the designation Pocomoke river cah be Maintained, but refuses to submit the claim to arbitration. In view of this state of affairs there Js a stong feeling amon@the members of the le lature in favor of embodying Maryland’s claims in 4 law to be submitted to the Virginia lestslature, and if it is rejected by that body to make up a case and test the rights of Maryland under the compact Of 1785, In both the Potomac and Pocomoke, by meee ion in the United States courts. ‘The committee will probably make a report, re- commending that the attorney general be in- structed to Inquire into and pene What rights the citizens of Maryland have in Potomac river and. the Pocomoke river and sound. ‘They will then re- commend that the Maryland legislature make an appropropriation to carry a test case to the Supreme Court of the United States fhe citizens of Dorchester county, Maryland, have presented a petition to the board of public works, asking for additional police work to protect the oyster beds of prahing '» He rs straits, and Honyer river, where hundreds of vessels are engaged in violating the law.
