The Rough and Resdy Club of this city together
with the Rough and Ready Clubs of Alexandra and
Georgetown, held a great meeting last night, at the
vhig platform to celebrate the
anniversary of the glorious but bloody battle Of Mon
terey We have often described the appearances Oh
these meetings held here, that need not now enter
into detail Suffice it to say, that the banners were
hung the outer wallis tie transFareneies shone
out in all their pristine glory and the band played
orally Wings y With great ygor and effect as usual
Al pleasing fact that the ladies are
ALWAYS present az these meetings in goodly numbers
and thew generally stay till the last The reason for
this is selfapparent The ladies of the District Of
Columbia enjoy higher political privileges than is CON-
monty allotted to those fra vessels. Here they are
equal with the lords Of creation and that proof
of the advance of civilization in se.pars they have
an equal right to 60 the polls and they have just
much in the election Of members OF Congress- or
President as has any one residing here indeed so
great their interest in politics. that 1t is whispered
the official organ is edited by elderly matron. We
cannot. however vouch for the truth of this.
At about halt. past eight o'clock, the meeting was

Mr. Smith expressed himself duly grateful and at the
same time apologised for any defects he might labor
