Some Colored Men Who Oppose the Passage of the Election Bill. ‘THERE WAS BUT FEW O¥ THEM, BUT THEY KEPT LAST NIGHT'S MEETING IX AN UPROAR—RESO- LUTIONS APPROVING AND URGING THE BILL FINALLY ADOPTED-~TACTICS OF THE OPPOSITION. ‘The course of the public meeting of colored citizens at Asbury Church last evening was not smooth and calm. There were eddies and counter currents, to say nothing of slight squalls, and it was mainly due to the skill and coolness of the presiding officer, Rev. James A. Townsend. that shipwreck was avoided and the desired port was at last reached. ‘The meeting, asthe published call announced, was intended to be a general conference. embracing the col- ored citizens of the several states temporarily residing in the District and the citizens of the District, to consider what action they crn take in furtherance of the passage of the federal election bill. As it turned out, some citizens were present who were opposed fo the election bill, and their opposition was so pronounced that the meeting was about an hour and a im getting down to business. While the = nents of the bill were in the minority, in fact, an extremely xmall minority, not numbering, when « standing vote was taken, more than three or four, yet they made up for lack of numbers by their activity. Mr. R.A. Dawson led the hope of the minority in this contest, which was carried on pleasantly enongh, owing to the fairness of the chairman, who pursued the policy of giving everybody a fair show. THE OPENING PROCEEDINGS. The meeting was called to order by Mr. Jobn F. Cook. As the audience was not very large, and as some of the speakers expected Were not present, it was suggested that the meeting be adjourned to another time. This did not meet with the approval of those pres- ent and it was decided to_go on with the mect- ing. Then Mr. Cook made a brief address, in which he said that it was an anomaly for col- ored citizens to meet for the parpose of urging thatthe rights guaranteed under the Constit tion should be enforced. ‘This was a question that interested all citizens, whether white or | colored. Kev. Mr. Townsend, who is the recorder the general land office, was then chosen chi nd in taking his place he spoke briefly ting — in the country favored the pa tions bill. Prayer was then offered by Ii George Lee and Mr. J. E. Brace was chosen secretary. ‘MR. GLEAVES’ List. Mr. R. H. Gleaves then came forward with a roll of paper in his hand and said that the meeting had been called under the auspices of the Interstate Political and Social Relief Asso- ciation and a committee of that organization had prepared a list of vice presidents and officers for the meeting. Decided objection was made by Mr. Dawson to having a list of officers forced on the meeting. He said that it was a public meeting, the pre- siding officer had already been elected and he favored the election of the other officers by the He therefore moved that « commit tee be appointed to nominate vice pr his motion was agreed to aud as the of the committee way left to the chairman he appointed Mr. Gleaves chairman and the committee retized. A committee on resolutions, of which Mr. Lewis H. Douglass was chairman, wasalso appointed and that committee retired to deliberate. While the committees were out Dir. Dawson called attention to the fact that he had brought to the meeting a number of copies of speeches of Senator Spooner and Hig- gius on the election bill for general distribu- tion. The chairman thankel Mr. Dawson for his trouble and remarked. that those speeches, ex oa the one by Senato> Spooner, ought to recd by every man on earth and angel in heaven. THE LIST APPROVED. Presently Mr. Gleaves and his committee returned and presented a long list of vice presi- dents, which comprised as far as possible a representative from each state of the Union. Bojection was made by Mr. Dawson to this list, and he proceeded in emphatic style to denounce the practice of using the names of men who were not present and whose consent bad not been obtained to give authority to the proceedings of the mee He spoke of the list as a cut and dried aff: These remarks elicited a lively fire of words from all parts of the audience and the meeting coming somewhat noisy the chairman asked that. better order be preserved, a# a religious meeting was in progress in the room below which “would be disturbed. Finally, after numerous points of order and a good deal of talk had been indulged in, the meeting ap- proved Mr. Gleaves’ list. REV. MR. LEB'S SARCASM. At this point Rev. Mr. Lee remarked that he that he had a revival in progress in his church | and, with cutting sareasm,aimed mainly at Mr. Dawson, he remarked that he believed he could get on better with sinners than with fulse re- publicans and bitter democrats. He had come to the meeting, he said, to hear in re- gard to the elections bill and not a discussion of parliamentary points. ‘THE RESOLUTIONS. Then the committee on resolutions returned and Mr. Dougluss submitted the report. The series of resolutions set forth the denial of rights of citizens ia certain portions of the country; that the recen* action of the Senate in the matter of the elections bill tends to create a doubt as tothe faithfulness of the republican : therefore, it was resolved that every con- eration of good government makes it im- tative that the Constitution should be en- Tocced by appropriate legislation and that pro- tection should be given to a class of citizens from outrage and wrong promised by the re- mblican platform of 188, and which the reso- lutions state held the colored voters to the sup- gort of the party at a tine when in the state of su w York such support was absolutely neces- Col. Perry Carson at once moved that the resolutions be adopted. But before the motion could be put « substitute was offered by Mr. J. A. Sembly of Marykind, which was read by the secretary. COUNTER RESOLUTIONS. As these resolutions were directly opposed to the entire object of the meeting, the reading was listened to with a surprise that was too | great for expression at the time. The resolu- tions were carefully prepared and stated in concise terms that the of the elections Dill would revive the feeling between the races of the reconstruction period, that it would en- gender a race strife, that the people of the Country were opposed to legislating on matters which ‘time only will regulate, and that the colored people oppose the bill because its passage would be slisustrous to their colored rethren in the south. It was therefore that the Senate be commended in laying aside this bill and that thanks be extended to Sena- tors Teller, Stewart, Wolcott, Shoup and other republican Senator: and their democratic col- leagues for their action on this bill. LAD UNDER THE TABLE, As soon as the reading of the resolutions was concluded the audience recovered sufticientiy from the ehock caused by this audacity to | make a protest, which took the form of an | array of men in all parts of the house shouting | and gesticulating to the chairman. Finally quiet was restored, enough st least to make a motion to be heard by « colored brother, who moved with great eny to lay the substi- tute not on the table, but under it, ‘The chair- man put the motion in the latter form and the humor of it served to allay somewhat the cx- citement. nly two or three Voting agence, “Thee as only two or against it. Then the committer on resolutions offered as an addi- tional of the resolutions, an expression and ' President Har- ness that would have to be stopped.

It is hich, time that the business was stopped and the imposition of a fines like licensing the business, for the fine is paid and the offender goes right on. These people shout understund that the. public docs not, through the courts, sell a license for this kind of busi- ness. Mr. Closs said that his client intended to quit the business.

A romantic wedding took place at Port Car- bon, Pa., on the coming in of ‘the new year, icinnati Knguirer wpecial from X y., Mr. J. F. Snit, a prominent citizen of Sardis in that state, being one of the high contracting parties. Mr. Snit is a Knight Templar, and eighteen months ago attended the grand triennial conclave at Washington city. While taking in thé sights at the nation’s capital he ascended the Washington monument. There, on top of the structure, 500 feet above terra tirma, he met Miss Mand Heebner of Port Carbon. ‘The two were strangers, but they were attracted to each other by some irresist- ible magic. ‘The bachelor merehant, who had resisted the smiles of Kentucky . beauties, was at last smitten. It seems to have been acase of love at first sight on the part of each. Before parting they exchanged cardsand » correspond- ence followed. He proposed, was accepted and insisted on an early marriage, but the happy ent was net consummated until December . it being one of the brightest in the social annals of Port Carbon. ‘The groom and his lovely bride are now cozily housed in their “old Kentucky hom —>—--- THE REFORM CLUB.

Mr. John Cranch, formerly = well-known | Washington artist, who died on Tuesday at the residence of his daughter in Urbana, Ohio, in the eighty-fourth year. of his age, as stated in dispatches to Tux Stan, was a native of this y. He wasa son of Judge Cranch, who was appointed in 1801 as an associate judge of the old Cireuit Court of the District of Columbia, and was made chief justice in 1806, serving till his death in 1855. ‘The deceased was well known to most of the Washingtonians of ante-bellam days, and was in his da; painters in this section. Some of his {among them one of his disti how in the room of the Distriet Su are highly prized. He was born on Capitol Hill, and, with the exception of a few years absence in the west, lived there all his life until about eight years ago, when he went to Nebraska to live with his daughter. He was one of the leading members of the Swedenborgian congregation of this city, and for some years before he went to Urbana filled a clerkship in the dead letter office. —_—_—— HE PAINTED THE TOWN.

He stopped here to see the sights, and in order to get over as much of the city as pos- sible hired acab. It was not long, however, before he was in a condition that rendered him unable to enjoy or appreciate what he saw. ‘The cabman drove him about for some time and during the afternoon reached the corner of 7th and 8 streets, when the stranger pulled out his weapon and fired one shot.
