A meeting of representatives of several of the old legislative districts, and of a number of civic and military organizations among the colored people, was held last evening at the Cadets hall, on O street, for the purpose of elect- ing achief marshaiot the procession tocele- brate the twenty-iourth anniversary of the emancipation of siaves in this District, which wiil occur on the 16th of April next. Mr. C. H. Marshail was chosen temporary chairman, and W. H. Brown secretary. W. C. Chase, W. T. Wood and Richard Williams were appointed @ committee on credentials, and while they were ‘absent froin the room @ number made speeches, counseling harmony in their selection of a chief marshal. The list of delegates was then reported by the committee, which report was adopted. The election of permanent officers then followed, W. Calvin Chase was nominated | Baiumore, as president. ‘Several others were nominated, but declined. Perry Carson was one of those nominated, but from the rear of the room his well known voice was heard declining the offered honor and this was the first intimation that the meetin; had of Mr. Carson's presence, as his name dit notappear among the list of delegates. Mr. Chase being the only nominee, he was unani- mously elected, and in taking his seat made a speech in which he predicted the success of the coming celebration and the confusion of those who hid in the past opposed the observance of the day. This latter was regarded by the dele- gates as an allusion to Mr. Carson, who was re- garded as a candidate for the position of chief marshal, but that gentieman retained his seat, apparently an absorbed and appreciative listener to the eloquence of his iriend, Mr. Chase. Robert Johnson, jr., was elected secre tary, and then the event of the evening, the nominations for ebiet marshal, was declared in order. C. H. Marshal was placed in nomina- tion by several gentiemen,who made eulogistic speeches referring to bis services in thatcapacity last year, MR. CARSON NOMINATED. There was apparently no other nomination to be made until Mr. Brown arose and said that while he appreciated the services of Mr. Mar- shal, yet there was danger in the idea that one Man Was necessary to the success of such an un- dertaking. “You, Mr. President,” he exclaimed, inan orl- torical outburst, “and I and Mr. Marshal will some day be transported to Abraham's bosom, and yet the world will continue to move.” He then placed in nomination Mr. Carson, which gave rise to great excitement. A lialf Score of men were on their feet at ouce claiming the at- tention of the chi and, above, the confusion, was heard the stentorian voice of Mr. Carson demanding to be heard. The chair, however, refused to recogni: any one, and in tones sulted to the occasion, announced that Mr. Car- son's nomination was out of order, as he was not @ member of the convention. Mr. Carson de- manded to be seated as a citizen. “You are out of order; take your seat!” thun- dered Mr. Chase. “I demand to be heard,” roared Mr. Carson, “I will have you arrested,” scream Mr. ase, Then all the delegates demanded to be heard atonce, and Mr. Chase continued to the table with a heavy stick, and continued to roar. suspended and a colored police officer, who had stepped in for a moment, looked over the howl- ing crowd with a calm smile. MR, CHASE THREATENS TO INVOKE THE LAW. After exhaustion had produced comparative quiet, Mr. Chase's voice was heard threatening ‘Mr.Carson with arrest, and the latter persisted in his demands for a hearing, claiming that allu- sions had been made to his connection with the last emancipation which were injurious to his character. Mr. Carson said im a sarcastic tone that they seemed to be afraid of him and he assured them that he did not want to be ehief marshal, but simply wanted to vindicate himself from ‘the aspersions which had been cast upon hin. Finally, Mr. Chase said that the only way out of the difficulty seemed to be to reconsider the motion to go into an election for marshal. Then to pass aresolution giving Mr. Carson 4a seat, and then his name could come fore the con- Yention as a candidate. An attempt was made to discuss this motion to recon-ider, but as every one tried to speak at on e result was bot altogether satisfactory. Ho ver, a vote was finally taken, and it was announced by the ebair that the motion to reconsider had been lost by @ vote of 20 to 21. Then, amid con- tinued contusion, the nominations for marshal were declared closed, and Mr. Marshal was de- clared elected. There was some dissatisfaction expressed at this decision, and the delegate from the 21st district said that his people would withdraw and take no part in the celebration, MR. CARSON GETS THE FLOOR, Mr. Carson having come to the front of the room was given an opportunity to makea speech, which he did with great vehemence. After oe to his services in the past he baa to the height of the climax by exclaim- “When emancipation was asleep in the cradle I woke itup. But where were you, Mr. Chairman, then, and where were the majority Of the others présent here to-night?” Cries of “That's s0,"" “You. were at the front, Ferry: lashed the speaker, intoa greater tury ofeloquence as he proceeded with a recital of What he had done. “When I want to be marshal,” he at last con- cluded, “I will tell you so and I will get it,” and his audience shouted thelr delightat the stalwartism of their old leader. Alter a while everybody cooied down, and the result of the meeting seemed to receve the ratification of all, even Mr. Carson, and the delegates went home in a very amicable frame of mind, pom nsenihonto Frozen in Front of the Stove. THE STRANGE DEATH OF GEORGE AND NANCY MASON. As published in yesterday's Sra, George and Naney Mason, an aged colored couple, were found dead at their house In the county yester- day afternoon by Officer T. J. Anderson. Coro” ner Patterson deemed an inquest unnecessary’ and gave acertificate of death from exposure George and his wife were each about ninety ears old, and owned the house in which they lived, which is a one-story trame house, situated in the county, between 3d and 4th, Pomeroy and Trumbuil ‘streets. Yesterday morning the neighbors became somewhat alarmed, as there were no footprints in the snow, leading to or from the house, and no smoke could be seen coming from the chimney. As nothing was seen of the couple during “the morning, Officer Anderson broke open the front door. ‘Lying on the floor in the front room, near the door, was found the body of the old mau face Was calm and smiling. The officer then Proceeded to the next “room, | where ‘he found the back door open ‘about three inches nd the old lady was sitting in a natural position before the stove, where she had evidently sat down to warm ind rest herself. Her hands were folded in her lap, and she was leaning back in the chair, as one en- Jgying the comforts ufforded by a red hot stove, fer feet were on the stove hearth and her dress drawn nearly up to her knees. Both bodies were frozen si The house Is a two-room frame shanty. Ail the necessaries of ite, In- cluding groceries, fuel and an abundance ofbed clothing’ were found in the house, The front room was carpeted and furnished very com- fortably, a large feather bed covered wiih sev- eral spreads and blankets occupying a portion ‘of the room. The last scen of the old couple was on Tues- day evening, when the old woman went to Gursdori’s grocery store on 7th. street, leavin, the old man to take eare of the house. ’ The ol man, who was inclined to be foolish and playful, had evident! y been playing leap-frog, as all the chalrsin the house were upturned and the stove- pipe lying on the ttoor. From the fact that the groceries ‘purchased on Tuesday evening by the old lady had not been used, It Is supposed they must have died during the early part of Tuesday night, The bodies have been taken in eharge bya society of which the old lady was @ member and prepared for burial. —— MARRIAGE LICENSES. — Marriage licenses have been issued by the clerk of the court to Solomon Seott, of New York city, and Farda.
