Tkt Territorial BiU?of Camp**n Com mitted. The campaign committee on the proposed Change of government for the District of Col umbia, appointed from the Cltixens' General Committe of one hundred and fifty, met last evening at Union League Hall, in conjunction with a similar committee of the Bon in Blue. The meeting was called to order by Mr. A. Grant. and R. M. Hall. Esq., was elected chair ud or the joint committee during the tempo rary absence from the citv of A. R. Shepherd, Eaq. Capt. J. H. McConneli was elected secre tary of the meeting. Mr. O. D. Barrett, chairman of the Boys in Blue committee.stated the objects of the meet ing. what bad been done, and what it was in tended to do. He stated that it had been pro potted to appoint a committee of two from each ward, two trom Georgetown, and two from the county to obtain hall* ami prepare tor meeting. That committee wan yet to be ap|?ointed. He anderstood that a serious effort was being made by the opponents of the Territorial bill to pre vent its passage by the House. Thev had given np the Senate, and now claimed to nave a ma jority against the bill in the House. They were presenting to the House statements to the effect that if the bill should he passed the Republican partv would be defeated here, and the Demo cratic party get into (>ower. All present knew bow false that statement was. Mr. A. Grant said the Finance Committee of the Boys in Blue were making preparations for ? torchlight procession in honor of the fifteenth amendment and the Territorial movement. He believed t the duty of every citizen in the Dis trict to support the fifteenth amendment. The turn out u> celebrate it would be the largest one ever seen in this Irtstrict. Kvery place in the country had the right of suffrage under the fif teenth amendment except tne IHstrict of Columbia, and notliingiould do more good than to show Congress that this District mugt be l?ene fitted by the Territorial lorm of government, and every citizen secured In hi* rights under tho fifteenth amendment. The procession would be formed on New York avenue, and, after marching to the President's House, wonld march to the east Trout of the Capitol, where addresses would be made. Mr. Philbrook hoped sufficient funds would be raised, and a large demonstration be given. He understood that the City Hall ring proposed to get up a celebration in honor of the fifteenth amendment, and thus endeavoring to make Con gress believe that the Republicans of this Dis trict were opposed to the Territorial bill. He hoped the energetic Republicans of the District would not leave this demonstration in the bands of the City Hall ring. He moved that the Fi nance Committee be instructed to raise 93,000, in connection with the Executive Committee of the Boys in Blue, to carry out the demonstra tion? to be appropriated for the torch light procession, andfl.uoo to rent halls and hold meetings in favor of the bill. Capt. J. R. McConneli said the Boys in Blue would certainly give the demonstration, and he bo|>ed the friends of the Territorial bill through oat the District would unite with them. Mr. Grant said it must be shown to Con gress that the Territorial bill, if passed, would not weaken the Republican party in the Dis trict. otherwise the bill would not pa* the Bouse. Mr. T. T. Fowler stated that he was heartily in favor of the new government, not be' tuse lie objected to the present city Corporation, but because he bel:evcd it would be beneficial to the pear man He believed the neeessary funds could be raided within the next four days. Rev. J. W. Green hoped that every man of every party would join in celebrating the fif teenth amendment. The Territorial bill would better the condition of the people of this Dis trict. without regard to color, and be hoped party measures would be left out entirely. The opponents of the bill ?<>uld use anv means to carry their points, and he hoped the friends of the bill would take all honorable means to de feat them. He was a Republican, but laid'that aside and was here as a citizen desiring to have a better government for all. The motion ot Mr. Philbrook to raise 93,000 was adopted. Mr. Kelsey moved that the demonstration take place on Tuesday night, the 12th inst.; but after H ue discussion the time for the celebration was left to the chairman ot the meeting and General A. Grant, commanding the Boys in Blae, and they were authorized to appoint all the neces sary committees to carry out the demonstration. Adjourned. ? Writ of Certiorari Mr. William A. Cook, the Corporation Attorney, yesterday afternoon presented in the Circuit Court, Judge Cartter, a petition, signed by Mayor Bowen and himself, praying for a writ of certiorari on Justice D. R. Stu>Oi. to compel that geatlem* j to transmit to the court the pavers in the cum of Barr vs. the Corporation. The Corporation claims that It appealed in due form of law from the deeislon of ?aid justice in that case, but Justice Smith holds that the appeal bond was not executed and filed within the time prescribed, and at the expiration of the time be gave judgment. Tais action of his has been made the subject of an information now pending before the Supreme Court. Chief .Iustice Cartter granted the peti tion of the Corporation, and ordered a writ of certiorari to be issued. ? The National Irish Reitblicah AeeoctA TH'S met last evening at Will's Hall; the presi dent. Captain Daniel McMahon, in the chair.

Senator Sumner. Col. Vornn- ***" Bowen.and Others?Letter from Gen. Howard. In accordance with tbe announcement in Thi Star of yester.lay that a serenade would be rren last night by tt? Republicans of the irnt Ward to tbe President and other dignita ries, in view of the ratification of the fifteenth amendment to the Federal Constitution, a large assemblage rathe red about the White House. The committee of the club met at the Stevens School-bouse, on 21* street, early in the eve ning. and soon after the arrangements were completed. This was an impromptu demon stration by the First Ward Republicans to give rent to their feelings or gratitude to the men who bare been prominent actors in the struggle lor their freedom, culminating In the ratifica tion of the fifteenth amendment. Tbe mem bers of the First Ward Club and other Republi cans began to assemtde at the Stevens School bouse about eight o'clock, and soon afterward* two large four-horse omnibuses armed with King's Band of fifteen pieces. A short meeting was held in the school-room, and just before its conclusion the band played an air, and Mr. James Wormley requested all to give three cheer* for the President of the United States, which was done most heartily. The carriages were then speedily filled, and those who were not fortunate enough to obtain seats took to the sidewalks, and all proceeded to the President's House, where, in response to tbe music and ' heers by the crowd, the President appeared on the portico. Col. .John W. Forney, on behalf of the assembled citizens, then adilrcssed him ;.S follows: IKTROnrrTOtT REMARK? BY COL. FORBRY. Mr. President: On the part of the Republi cans of the District of Columbia I am here to night to return to you. in their name, the ex pression of their piofound gratitude for the scond proclamation which seals the great work of tbe war, in the overthrow of which you were the chief instrument. The first proclamation of your illustrious predecessor, which declared the downfall of slavery, was essential to that great moral victory which succeeded the tri umph of arms. Mr. President, it is impossible to speak the feelings or the race liberated, first, by Mr. Lincoln, and second, enfranchised by yourseir, on this interesting occasion. Those of us who have enjoyed the rights or citizenship ror so long a time can not eipre* the emotions which swell their hearts this evening; and vou, sir, may well conceive how they appreciate' the great work which has been so splendidly con summated by yourselT?the words or counsel, the words of cheer, the words of encouragement yon have bestowed upon them?and, therefore, on this inclement night, they have come to ten der you their heartfelt thanks for again proving yourseir their liberator and their friend. [Ap plause.] remarks of rsnmnT graht. Sir: I can assure those present that there has been no event since the close or the war In which I have relt so deep an interest as that of the ratification of the fifteenth amendment to the Constitution by three-fourths or the States of the Union. I have felt the greatest anxiety ever since I have been in this house to know that that was to be secured. It looked to me as the realisation of the Declaration or Independence. [Cheers.) I cannot say near so much on this subject as I would like to. not being accustomed to public speaking, but I thank you very much for your presence this evening. (Applause. 1 The crowd loudly cheered tne President as he retired to the vestibule, and the band struck up "John Brown's body lies mouldering in the grave." Cheers were then given for vice Pre sident Colfax, and in response to the call he came forward and said: rbxarks or vtc* prbpidkbt COLFAX. Fellow-citizens; My heart rejoices with yours In that proclamation which declares to the people of this Republic and to the people ot the world the ratification or the fifteenth amend ment to the Constitution. It is, indeed, a fortu nate coincidence that the same voice that pro claimed tbe downfall of the rebellion and the salvation intact of this imperiled Union pro claimed afterward, as the Chief Magistrate of the land which by his valor and that of his fellow-soldiers was saved rrom disruption, that, as this country has made all free, the same country has determined that everv one should have In bis hands the ballot to'protect that country. Opposed, as it has been, In its progress to this final culmination, it will live in ail history as the Magna Cbarta of this Republic of ths United States. [Applause.] The band afterwards p'.ayed some more airs, and then all repaired to the residence of Senator Sumner, where, aTter music by the band, Mr. Sumner made his appearance, "(being the first time, it Is said, that be has ever responded on such an occasion,) and was introduced to the assemblage bv Mr. James Wormlv. REMARKS OF KR. SrMBKR. Mr. Sumner commenced by congratulating them on the giest results accomplished in securing equal rights ror all, which for years had been his hope and object?to see tbe promise or the Declaration or Independence become a reality. [Cheers.] He would not say that it was entirely accomplished, ? t* not. It was his nature to rhinV more or what remains to be done than or what has been done? more of duties thsn or triumphs. He had only just beard rrom Philadelphia ot' a decision in a court or justice that a colored person of roreign birth could not be naturalized in this country because or color. This is in accordance with an old statute?a relic or the days or slavery. He had now a bill before the Judiciary Committee ot tbe Senate striking tbe word white rrom our naturalization laws. It remains further that equal rights shall be received in all the public con veyances in the United States, that no one be excluded therefrom by reason of color. It also remains, be said, that you here in Wash ington shall complete this equality of rights in your common schools. You all go together to vote, and ai^ wrton inay find a seat in the Sen ate or tne crntea states, tint the cnira m n,ul of the common school on account or color. This discrimination must be abolished. All schools must be open to all without distinction or color. In accomplishing this you will work, not only tor yourselves, but will set an example ror all the land, |and most especially ror the South. Only In this way can your school system be ex tended for the equal good of all; and now, as yon have at heart the education or your children, that they should grow up in that knowledge or equal rights, so essential ror their protection to the world, it is your bounden duty here in Wash ington to see that this is accomplished. Your school system must be rounded on equal rights, so that no one shall be excluded on account of color. [Applause.] At the close of Mr. Sumner's speech, several airs were played, and the assemblage then pro ceeded to the'north end or the Arlington Hotel, and Col. Fremont was next called upon. The committee were Introduced to the Colonel, who thanked them for the compliment tendered him. Alter an interchange of salutations they re tired, the Colonel declining to address them on account of indisposition. Secretary Fish was next called upon at his residence, and Secretary Boutwell was foand to be there on a visit. Sec retary Fish, aTter thanking the citizens ror the compliment paid him, and expressing his regret that they had not a better night ror the demon stration, then introduced the Secretary or the Treasury. RAMARKS OF SECRETARY BOCTWRLL. Mr. Boutwell said that the occasion which had brought them together was second only to the proclamation of emancipation. Without this, the fifteenth amendment would not have been called for, bnt the emancipation procia mation had made the fifteenth amendment prac ticable. Now that they had equality before the law, let them see to It that the foundation be laid for the general welfare, which can only be secured by education, which gives a republican form of government strength. In conclusion, he thanked them for the compliment of the ser enade. After more music by the band, and cheering I by the crowd, they proceeded to the residence of Uen. BuUer, bat not finding that gentleman at I home, they continued on to the Ckront le office, ?hare a brief atop was made, and not finding Col. Forney there, they proceeded to his resi dence on Capitol Hill, where, after loud cheers ? bJ the hand, Col. Forney made hi* g ' ,M Kreet*d with vociferous .

I have watched over you for tire years, and will continue to do so. Do not destroy yourself by your quarrels, but neck rather to strengthen vour new-found position by harmony and anan imity of action. [Loud and prolonged chpers.] The band played several airs, and then de parted tor the residence or Senator Revel*. They found that he had retired, but his private secretary, Mr. George Curtis, in hi# behalf, thanked the assemblage for the compliment of the serenade, and said the wish of the Senator was to meet them on a future occasion. They then proceeded to the residence of Mayor Bow en, but before arriving there, and when on fith street, one of the large ommbusses broke down, rendering it necessary for a part ot the com pany to walk the rest ot the way. The Mayor had retired, as the hour was late, but soon ap peared and invited the committee into his par lors, where a few moments of pleasant and friendly conversation took place. Mr. Alfred Day made a few remarks, thanking the Mayor for the friendship he had always shown to the colored rac?. KKMARK* OF MAYOR BOWEN. The Mayor repled in appropriate terms, ex cusing liiinself for not api>earing at the Presi dent's House, saying that he was quite unwell, and he merely came down to thank them for the honor they bad paid him; that the occasion was one which he delighted to honor. He regarded the titteenth amendment as the second procla mation of American independence; and on some future occasion would be most happy to give them his views on its great advantages to them, and of their duties to the party that had been instrumental In effecting its' consummation. The Mayor then stepped to the window, when three cheers were given him by the crowd out side; after which " Home, sweet home" was played by the band, and the party dispersed to their se> eral homes. LK1TKK PROM OEKERAL HOWARD. The following letter was received by the com mittee : Alfred Jvttet. and Urnry Ifimhtr, Committee? Gentlemen: I will try to be present if the storm abates. Doubtless you will have no serenade if the rain continues as now. I do not wonder that you rejoice at the adoption of the titteenth amendment, and surely you have reason to be grateful to the President, not only for the posi tive influence he exerted In its favor, but tor the manner in which he has proclaimed its adop tion. His strong advocacy of education in this connection delights my heart. Very truly, yours, O. O. Howard, April 1st, ItTO. Brevet Major General. Tin Political pot ab'ilijt?Republican Verting is the Third Ward?A meeting of Third Ward Republican Club was held at Wisewell Barracks last evening, and It was largely at tended. Mr. B. J.Beall called the meeting to order, and Mr. W. K. Nott was chosen secretary pro tem. On motion of Mr. J. W. Freeman, the club proceeded to elect officers. A perfect storm of " Mr. Chairman,'' " May It please your hon or," <&c., saluted the Chair, but in a moment silence reigned, and Messrs. A. W. Russell and 11. J. Beall were nominated lor president. Mr. S. B. Bond inquired whether there ww a list of members. Mr. George Boston asked If any man who was a Republican of the Third Ward was not entitled to vote. Mr. Win. A. Cook said that this was not a mass meeting, but a ward club, and none but good Republicans?Mr. Boston? '? Who are good Republicans?" Mr. Cook re plied men who adhere closely to the principles of the Kepublican party, and do not grovel and scratch after a little bit of an office? Mr. Bos ton?" 1 rise to a point of order." Mr. Detrick? "What Is the question?" Voices?" Who are entitled to vote?" The Chair, vMr. Beall)? " The question is, who shall vote." Mr. De trick?" I contend that Mr. Cook is out of or der. There is no motion before the hpuse. ana until a motion is made neither Mr. Cook or any other person has a right to address the meeting. Voices???That's it.'T The Chair?"Mr. Cook s explaining who should be allowed to vote." Mr. Freeman?"The constitution is not here. One man's word is as good as another, and it Mr. Cook is allowed to speak 1 will claim the same privilege, and we all will want to talk. Mr. Cook?"! simplv desire that there shall be a fair election." Mr. Freeman?"I object to any srteech making until we have something to speak to. I can't help It If he is Wm. A. Cook; we have rights here as well as he." Mr. l*ewis moved to proceed to elect officers by tellers, and called the previous question. Mr. Cook?"1 wish to submit an amendment." [Voices? "That's out of order;" "Oh. sit down "] The Chair?"Well, you can vote down the previous question." [A Voice?"Is that the way you try to carrv a point?"] The Chair said that he was trving io preside tairly, and had simply stated that if the meeting was not ready to vote for of ticers they could vote down the motion. The question was taken on ordering the previous question and lost. [Voices?"I appeal."] Mr. Cook moved that none be allowed to vote but known Republican voters of the Third Ward. Mr. Boston?" I f |vou can't give us our rights we'll leave." [Voices?"Ves. leave;" "There's the door," <Stc.] After considerable parleying the meeting agreed to vote by tellers?Robert lirt.au and Ceorae Ritston?bciiur aiilioiliteil. mul then commenced a scene of considerable disor der, with shouts of "Beall" or "Russell;" and the Chair and others ordering the crowd to fall back to one end of the room. Mr. Nott, the Secretary, took his position at the outer edge of the table to keep tally, and the voting commenced, each seeming intent on being the first to vote, and calling out the name of his favorite candidate. Soon one individual was stopped by the President with the question, "Where do you live?" and answering "On the Island," be' was jerked back, amid crics of "Put himont;" "Scratch that vote off." It wa, not long before another voter was challenged' and the Chair asked "Where do you live?" Answer.?" Home." ** Where is your home?" "Here." "Where do you Uve?" "1 tell you again, 1 Uve here." [At this point there were cries of "He shall vote!" "No ne shan't!" "He dont live in these barracks!" "I say he does !" "You are a liar!" Jfcc.] Mr. Boston?"I'll not take another vote. If Mr. Cook, Mr. Beale and Mr. Nott are tellers they can take them; 1 wont!" Another parley was had about the chair, and in a few moments voting was re sumed, Boston consenting to go on, ami it was not long before an individual, said to be named Conner, presented hisnself, when some one near the tellers attempted to prevent him from voting, and a number of questions were asked la quick succession. In a moment Conner squarred him self, and quickly made an open space in the crowd, and threw up his immense right foot in a way to hit one of his challengers a tremendous lick under the chin. This brought things to a climax, and in a moment a dozen or more l>el llgerents were pegging away at each other, and a couple of oyster-knives were brandished. While this row was going on the President. Mr. Beall. Mounted on the table as also Messrs. Nott and Cook and counseled order, but with but little success, and another party from the table called loudly "This is a disgrace to the Third Ward." Detective Bigley got into tin crowd and after considerable hollowing and tusseling succeeded in getting something like order. A motion was made to adiourn to 12 o'clock on Monday and carried, and a number left the room, hurrahing far "Beall," "Bowen" and "Blchards," containing until they reached the pavement. A number, howevet, were determined to see the remained in the hall and gathered In different portions, Messrs. Cook, Beall, Nott and others in one portion, Mr. Detrick with a party at another, Mr. Boston's friends a third place and Mr. M. Dufley with others in still awttier portion of the ball, and in a short time sonse very heated words were being used, one party charging the other with bringing voters from other wards to the meeting. From appearances it seemed that a tight was Imminent, but Mr. Chas. King, one of the trustees of colored schools, Mating that the room was a school room and the regular meeting having adjournad he hoped they would i leave the hall, those present vacated. The tally kept by Mr. Nott. the Secretary up to the time the Toting ceased, footed up Baall 41, Russell 21. It is claimed by soma teat the Mavoraity question did not enter this meeting, and that most of those who opposed Russell did so becaase of a report he made In the campaign of *C8 in opposition to patting forward colored men as candidates at that time. ? ?
