A meeting of this club was held last night at
the Stereos School-House, list street, being
the branch of the Republicans of the First
Ward who take t?*u? with the saanaer in which
the timber club elected their oAeers and cooilurt
the affairs of the party for the ward sen
orally and the room was crowded to ita utmost
capacity. The meeting waa called to order by
Ibomtt Martin, President of the club, and
John M. Washington acted aa Secretary. Mr.
AlfredJones said be wanted this meeting to be
a model one. and If amy person waa inclined to
disturb ita deliberations the police present bail
been instructed what to do. He invited Lieut.
Hurley to a seat on the stand, which invitation
that officer accepted. A goodly number of policemen
were also present. Mr. Martin requested
all young men under age to withdraw, a*
the v wi?hed no one to take part except adults
and those entitled to vote. He satd they had
not assembled to oppose the Republican party,
as had been asserted; they were the true Republicans
of the First Ward, who had been crowded
out by a few political adventurers, who had not
the interests of the citizens at heart; and hewould
say to them that when the time cornea
round they would elect such men as will truly
'represent the Republican party of the ward,
which representatives they had not now.
Capt. James Kelly was called for and responded,
t>aying he was no speech maker; it was
not his vocation. He thanked the rlub for electing
him their Vice President at the previous
meeting, and pledged them his hearty support.
[ Applause. 1
Cornelius Clark was called upon, and said the
Republican* ot' thin club bad been badly treated
by their own friend*, whom the party nad honored
and trusted, and now they must elect men
who will not disappoint them alter election. He
advised reform at once, and now was the proper
time to commence. [Applause.] He did not
condemn the Mayor, as had been charged by
some. There were many honest men In the
ranks of their opponents, and many who were
undecided which way to act in these days; he
extended the right hand of fellowship to all
such, and invited all good Republicans to harmonize
and work together. Their tirst effort
should be to reform the Republican party in the
First Ward. [Applause.]
Mr. Uerdon Snowden asked, if the constitution
had been adopted, why they did not invite those
who desired to join the clab to give in their
names.

A lit* vasir B?iu uic luiiMuuuun wuuwi uc rtiiu,
for information, to those who were uot present
at the former meeting, it had been drawn up
by the advice of 130 First Ward Republicans.
lite Secretary then read the constitution. It
names the organization as the Republican Invincible
Club of the First Ward, and rehearses
the duties of the officers, Ac. The book for receiving
names to membership was then opened,
and 4.1* enrolled their names. At the former
meeting ISO signed their names to the roll, making
a total membership of G0? up to the present
time.
Some time was consumed in the enrollment,
during which Mr. Alfred Jones stated that the
liimber clique had applied to him for permission
to occupy this hall for their meetings, hut
he had refused them, not recognizing their
claim as acting for the real Republican* of the
ward, lie claimed that the men present were
the true Republicans of the ward, who had
borne the burthen and heat of the day. He
would not lend his countenance to any set of
men who go about to break up meetings. He
had taken his stand in this matter, and would
not back from it.
Peter O'Day here tried to interrupt the
speaker by asking some question, which was not
intelligible to the reporter, and was told to
hush," but he persisted in his interruptions,
when Lieut. Hurly, with his men, at once hustled
him into the street, which had a salutary
1 effect on others who were disposed to make
trouble.
Mr. Charles Syphax said he was one who had
applied to Mr. Jones for the hall, and he pro
ceeoeu e> censure mm (jones) tor urn refusal.
Mr. >Iones nld be ?u iiHced not to rent the
ball for any more such disorderly meetings.
Mr. Syphax replied by saying if modc?ty did
not prevent, he could tell something of Joius
that would sink him in the estimation of hi*
friends; but he would spare him.
Mr. .Jones said he had done just what be
thought was right in the matter, a: d hj could
not l>e frightened ofi' from bis pun* : c?
Mr. Syphax rose to speak, but crifcs of "Sit
<lown,"' ''dry up," "what l>ui>inet>s have you
here/' Ac., were showered thick and fast ujion
kin), and he resumed his seat.
T. J. Harri> then offered the following resolution
:

Mr. Taverns wished to know if they recognized
anv other Republican Club in the First
Ward. He contended that there wore two parlies
in the war?l, and he did not know which the
right one was.
The Chair said if thev were in the majority,
as they would soon be, they would rule, and be
recognized as the only Republican Club in the
ward.
Mr. Taverns desired to know, if they found
themselves in the minority, would they still
presume to rule.
The Chair?Certainly not.
Mr. Harris then proceeded to speak on his resolutions,
advocating their passage; and at the
conclusion ot lus remarks the resolutions were
adopted.

Councilman Thompson was then invited to
addret* the meeting. He thanked them for the
courtesy extended to him. Be had not signed
their constitution, because he regarded the
causes of their troubles at too trivial to warrant
the action they were taking. He saw men present
whom he had labored with for years in the
cause. This division was fatal to the cause. It
had been tried when Mr. Stewart was elected to
the City Council. He discouraged It then as he
did now. The Democrats would take advantage
of these divisions. The movement was unnecessary.
If Himber had been illegally elected
their course was to demand another election.
I Voices?"That's what we're doing." Applause.]
He contended that secession was no remedy for
their grievances; that Martin never gave his
countenance to this movement, but the presumption
now is that Martin is anxious to lead
ott in this matter. By this division in their
ranks the election might be lost, and where
would thev be then When it iwmii.niuwil r ii?

better take their bpades and dig themselves

on what they are doing, and If they were not
satisfied with Himber go and elect a man to
their own notion. He had but one desire, which
wa? for the success of the Republican party.
Alfred Day Mid the people before him represented
the Republican party of the First Ward,
and if the opposition believed they were in error
it was their duty to undo what had been done,
and come out and ioin this elnb. He oould see
no danger ahead. They were fighting Democracy,
and were geinato make the present organisation

they did, on this occasion, they aiut succeed.

meeting of the Irish Republicans of the
Fourth Ward was held last evening at O'Brien's
school-house. 11 street, near the Tiber, at which
there were present about 1<K) persons. Mr. T.
Kirbv called the meeting to order, and Mr.
Maurice Murphy was called to the chair, and
Mr. Kdward Scanlon acted as secretarv. The
first business in order was the reception of mem
ber*. inn a number were enrolled.
The Chair Mid that he wis rejoiced to see so
many at a meeting of an Irish Republican Club,
tie did not think it prudent to form an independent
club while the ward club was in existence.
He wis in favor of a hall being procured
in this section of the city for the meetings of the
ward club.
Mr. T. Kirby said that the understanding was
with those who save their names that the list
would be handed in to the ward club.
Mr. A. Oieason said they had come to form a
club of their own, and intended to do it.
Mr. Cha*. Curtain otl'ered a resolution declaring
it desirable to form an Irish Republican
club in the ward, to make it in harmony with

?~>v - - --v | vaivun ?kcwv>miuu) u ' Uilil U';i II
done in the First, Sixth, and Seventh War<I>i.
and that they procecd to organize such club and
elect officers.
Mr. Kirby said there ww bat one ward which
had an Irish Republican club, viz: the Sixth.
Mr. A. GlevoB?It is not for one man to say.
Mr. P. Foley?We intend to form a club.
Mr. Kirby naUl it was premature to bring in
resolution* which had l>een cocked and primed.
Mr. Caliill urged that the Irish should form in
clubs exclusive of others and then march up to
the polls in solid pha'anx. It they went into the
ward clubs with the colored man, the American
and the Dutchman they could not carry such a
vote as they could otherwise. He wished to say
that if the gentleman intended to say that he
came with cocked and primed resolutions he
said what was untrue.
The Chair called Mr. Cahill to order, and
some little commotion took place, during which

The Chair was about to explain when Mr.

right to discuss the motion.
The Chair The gentleman will come to
order. I will not submit to your dictatiou. You
may put some one else in the chair. [A voice
"Put the upstart out."]
Mr. Murphy nut on his hat, and was about to
leave the stand; but the larger portion of the
crowd callcd to him to resume his position, and
he acceded to their request.
The previous question on the adoption of the
resolution having been called, the Chair put ttie
motion by rira voce, but was unable to decide.
IA voiced"All you Democrats leave the hall."J
The Chair here appointed Messrs. A. Uleason
and T. Kirby tellers. Mr. Kirby insisted that
none should vote but members, and as there
were many present not members he would insist

The meeting proceeded to elect officers, with
the following result: I>. E. Caliill, President;
Timothy O'Brien, Vice President; John Hickey,
Secretary; Charles Curtain, Treasurer.
Mr. Cahill, on taking the chair, returned his
thanks tor the honor conferred on him, [A
voice.?You conferred iton yourself,] and promised
to uphold the honor of his race. If all the
Irish would unite, politicians would soon see
that they would hold the balance of power, and
as a body they would be influential.
Mr. Joseph P. Shelter made a few remarks in
reference to the formation of the first club of
the Irish, in Bouldin's church.
A committee?Messrs. A. Uleason, John Hickey,
I. Kirby, M. Murphy, and T. O'Brienwas
appointed on constitution and by-laws.
Mr. Uleason ottered the following, which was
adopted:
Whet-tap it appears fr<m tlie public papers of toda\

Fourth Want of this city, did, laat night, in the City

Tbe regular meeting of this club was held hut
evening at Minion Chapel, on 10th street east,
the President, Charles Champion, in the chair.
After several persons had been admitted to
membership, Mr. P. 1>. Qaines offered a resolution
empowering the President of tbe club hereafter
to appoint all delegates and all committees,
which was met with cries of "Lay it on the
table;" "oh there you are;" "one man power,"

Mr. C. WuiU' said that the mover of this resolution

lots for sale. The revolution watt an innult to the
club, and it was ottered aa such. Instead of
being laid on the table it ought to be put into
the stove or thrown out of the window.
Mr. Gaines said the resolution was to prevent
misapprehension on the part of the working
classes just about the beginning or the campaign,
and it would prevent meetings from being
packed to carry certain pointa, aa often had
been the case before.
Mike Shiner characterized the resolution as a
trick to prevent Bowen delegate* from being
bent to tbe nominating convention in May.
Mr. r. Riley thought the passage of the resolution
would save contention, and go far towards
preserving harmony in meetings.
The President took the floor, and said that he
would not like to take the res(>onsibility which
would be imposed on him by the resolution, and
he appealed to Mr. Gatnes to withdraw it. lint
he refused, and the resolution was then laid on
the table.
Mr. Uaines then moved to set aside the vote;
but wasoverruled. and Mike Shiuer then pitched
into bim. lie said there were two men whom
he had worked hard for. but wlio had now practically
left the club. They were here present,
and they had been empowered to reconstruct
the party in the ward. [Cries of "Call the
names." When a member said, "Yes, I'll call
them, Sims and <iaines."J
Mr. Gaines here called the (speaker to order,
but Mike Shiner resumed: "What was vou
doing up there with Crane and them at that
meeting at I'nion League Hall the other night?
You are tricky; got no use for you. You golnto
tbe Mayor's room, shake bands with him like
his best rriend, and then go outeide and act precisely
opiKmlt?."
Mr. Gainer?-"You are a liar."
Mike Shiner?"Well, 1 don't care; you can't
pass any of your resolutions here. You want to
St a band in the convention already. 1 don't
ow who will be nominated."
Mr. Gaines?"Bowen won't, you can bet on
that."
Mike Shiner.?"Well, If he atet, it will be a
good Republican."

vacant, which caused terrible confusion, Gainex
all the while trying, unsuccessfully, to get the
floor.
The Chair finally settled the matter by refusing
to entertain the motion.
Mr. K. Pearce said that any member of the
club had a right to be oppoaed to Mayor Bowen
and not be condemned for it. Every man had
hia choice of men in any party, lie had eonversed
with the leading Republican* up town,
and had found them to a man In favor of a territorial
government, or almost any change for
the better, bat *111 they were not opposed to
Mayer Bowen. They had aa much right to oppose
as to uphold him.
After debate aa to the probability of Archer
Fletcher getting the contract for grading 13th
streot east, Mr. Champion took the floor and
hauled Mike ShinAr nwr th? m*l> fnr mfu ?*

to mixed school*. He ttld that the colored
people who were ot that opinion should
keep ft to themselves, as, by expressing it, they
would only injure their party. Let the white
people fight it out.
Mike Shiner, whose dander had been " rim"
b> these remarks, again remarked that be was
opposed to mixed schools, as it was a wrong
principle. Yon may talk as you please, you
white men, tbere is not one of you ina thousand
who is in yonr heart In favor of mixed schools.
Mike was farther ventilating himself when the
meeting adjourned.

not for the purpose of defrauding complainant;
that long before he had promised to make the
conveyance to bis wife; denies that he had any
part in the arrest in question, which waa the
work of a Metropolitan detective, since deceased,
and he did not appear on the preliminary
hearing against him, and the case was dismissed.
In the Equity Court, in October, 1**?.
a decree was made declaring the deed fraudulent
and setting it aside, and ordered the sale of
the real estate to pay the judgment. On the

approved and confirmed the decree,

The defendants contend that at the tim>>

Assault and Robbery A desperate assault
was made on Monday night, between 8 and
a o'clock, by two desperadoes, upon our respected
fellow-citizen, A. H. Young, grocer, on
;?Ui street. Mr. Young was proceeding fi >m
liis store at that hour to his dwelling, corner of
Mli and K streets, and as he warf entering the
gate of the public square opjosite his resilience,
he wan attacked by the persons alluded to, who
sprang ujion him suddenly, one of them choking
him, while the other beat him alMJUt the body.
He was knocked down and rendered insensible,
and while in that condition his pockets were
rifled of the small amount of change he happened
to have about him. The robbers then
decamped, and Mr. V. having recovered strength
enough groped his way home in a very damaged
condition. He has been routined to his bed
since the transaction, though 110 dangerous
wounds were received. This occurrence took
place in front of a |?>lice station, situated on the
opposite side of the street, and if it 4oes not
show remissness on the part of the officers, it
certainly proves that the lives of our citizen*,
even in tlie most populous parts of the city , arc
in danger from outlaws ana highwaymen.

each, a vest valued at 910 and several other articles
of valne. Kmanael Lewis is a colored

shelter in his house, and iMdson took advantage
of the opportunity to secure his bootv.

there is not the fill ado of a shadow of foundation

Wahhixotoh, Jan. tt, 1870.
to fkt Editor of The Star:? In your paper of
Tuesday, you state that I care a ticket of admission
to the Franklin School to "a colored
child." Permit me to say that I bare not done
this, as it would be a violaiton ot the present
school law. When the mother of the child
referred to called upon me for tickets for two of
her children, I bad no suspicion that she was
other ???" a white woman, until she made herself
known. I then asked to see her children,
and found one to be as white as ordinary
"Caucasian*" bora ar tne norui, wwie the other,
though slightly tawny, was not mora ao than
moat children of Europeans horn In aouthern
latitude. I waa moreover inlormed by the
mother that the children were not reported
at the la* census aa "eolored,"
and consequently mmrt hare been reckoned
among the ''whites" hi determining the division
of the achool fund. Under these circumstance*,
having been assured by competent authority
tbatthen ta no legal rule for Interpreting the
meaning of the word "white" In the sehooflaw.
as against my own eyes and my own judgment,
1 decided that these children should he properly
classed as white, and Issued tickets accordingly.
I have only to add, that If aar person fSels
sggrieved at my decWon, I trust he or she will
take steps to have the question brought before
a competent tribunal, that we may have a legal
rale established- and thus the Trustees he relieved
from perplexity In like eaa?.
Very respectfully, A. E. Nmw,

Editob ow Tii Stab:?It seem*strange tk*t
intelligent mei should publicly declare that
they would prefer to ktie the Senate of the
proposed Territorial Government for this District
elected fry the people, rather than appointed
by the General Government. We
should suppose that all well-informed men
eaght to know 0 it. one of the first and simplest
principles of repreaemtative government: that
the object of t Senate is to afford a cheek to
hasty and improper legislation, which a single.
Or f>T?n (VttiKla U*inlativa Krhn^h t)i>
rectly by the people might enact under the
incitement of some popular outcry. That may
be a'most an often wrong ai right. Do men forget
that the Senate of the United SUtM are not
elected by the people? Aad do they not know
that it wan purposely Intended that they should
tie rive their power a* remotely from the direct
representative power as ptwsible? It is one of
the great defects of the State Legislature* that
both branches are elected by the i?eople at large,
so that one is scarcely ever' any check on the
other, since tliey are generally ??f the same political
views* and are actuated by the same Influences.
Rut this defect is unavoidable and
lacurablc in the States. Here, however, where
there are two distinct sources of power, ati the
principle can be applied so pfrfectlv. it would
be worse than folly not to adopt it. 'Those who,
knowing this, lead on the ignorant with the
false impression that it would impair tho elective
franchise, are not friends of the community.
And are so many-blind to another obvious and
important truth? This District was founded by
fillH f/tr tlk0 MM th* Mil ? TWa
population not dfirectly connected with the Government
are merely incidental to the District,
which was int-nded for the uh ami comfort of
Coupon and the executive and judicial officers
assembled or sojourned here. It was and
isi the duty of the General Government to govern
the District rind pav the princi|?l pubuc expenses.
Yet men talk as if Congress and the
National Executive Government were mere interlopers,
or a casual element, strangers here
amone the essential public at large. And theae
infatuated people assume to govern the District,
and seem willing to pay all the public expenses,
if Congress wi 1 graciously and condescendingly
permit it. They even quietly acquiesce in educating
the children of the Government employes
and the refugrs brought here by the war. And,
strange to say. Congress not only permits, but
demands this injustice! It is evident to every
sane man that the National Government should
r*>take in that of the District, and not only pay
one-half or some other regular portion of its
public expenditures, but ought to refund to the
District for public use. millions of dollars as its
proper share of the money advanced and ex

Let us then iiotobjeetto it, but request Conpe?

share of the rest*)nubilities and expenses of the
