| present administration came into power, there
| were but few sympathZers with it, and ali the
arrangements then deyolyed upon the Repub-
| Hcan Association.
| The resolution was adopted.
, mr. Elvans offered the other resolution that
the name OF the association be changed to m
national Union Association. and that it be q
permanent association.
Mr.. Henning objected to the passage in the
present shape, for the copperheads would con-
| efder 1t as kind of shirking out to drop the
| name OF Line and johnson, and he preferred
that name should be adopted until MT Lincoln
should serve his full term.
DIR. Boyd had no objection to the old name,
but hoped that the new name would be
| adopted. They wanted this organization to be
nucleus for one throughout the land, from
Elaine to California, and he hope before four
word or tap Of the bell or drum would bring
outat any moment. The old Democratic party
were SO organized, but we had them now On
the hook, and intended to keep them there; but
TO do SO we must adopt their plan in respect to
organization. Lincoln was a good enough
name, and as for Andrew johnson, he was a
good man and would mend the tattered gar
ments OF the old Republic; but the time had
passed when 1t was necessary to have those
names.
Mr.. Elysns said that under the new name all
could assemble, and he wished the association
in future to be one OF loyal men without re-
gard to pol tics.
Brown, L. 4. Connolly, Hon. W. p. Dole, F.
Myers and others, and finally the name Of
lne NatlOnal Lincoln and Johnson Association
was adopted with cheers.
The matter of retaining the room as the Union
headquarters was brought mp and a collection
" as taken up yielding about $3.50. and it was
decided that the room be kept and placed in
charge OF the officers and executive committee
Qhe same who had served the Lincoln and
Johnson Clubo
While the collection was being taken up Mr
.. X Harris, of the Republican, entered the
room and informed the President of some
news, and Mr.. Clephane Immediately rose and

courier from Sherman, bringing the glorious
news that he had captured Savannah and was
now in possession, and that his entire loss
SINCE he left Atlanta was but 1,5OO men! Loud
cheers
MIR. Dole said the ink had not got dry on the
Chicago platform before Sherman f1anked At
lanta, and he knew then that he would 20
through. [Applause.l
Mr. Clephane stated that in June next an
election came off in the city, and q change
should be made in the city government, and he
hoped that all would see to having their names
registered this month, as required by law.

A SHOP MUss.--On Tuesday afternoon Ben
jamin Solomon, Aaron Blackjack, Jacob Bel

near ID street south, and considerable rivalry
exists between the stores. and it seems that the
center store has hard time to get customers
The proprietor however, throws out his clothes
as pickets TO catch customers above and below
the store, and they are obliged to run the block
