under the opinion that some ulsposiiion shouu
be made of the money IN hand, as the draft
was to take place immediately, He regretted
that there were so few present, especially or
those who contributed, and he couid not ac-
orally supposed men would fello money any
where
Mr.. Archibald Lewis introduced a resolution
directing tie money on hand TO be equally di-
Nioeo among those who are drawn and ac-
cepteo, ana who have contributed 81.
nut M. Slade opposed the resolution, as he
handed over to the City Hall meeting, as hat
meeting had authorized the collection Of the
money.
MIR. Lewis explained why he introduced the
resolution. He had attended the City Hail
meeting on Monday evening, and was sur
prised to learn there that a resolution had been
SIS from receiving any benefits of the Foarth
Ward fund in case of a distribution. As none
of the colored men had contributed SOS this res
olution would throw the colored man and his
little mite ont altogether. The City Hall meet
ing had but little money to divide, ana he
thought the colored men might as well divide
their own and receive its benefits.
Mr.. J. w. Freeman was opposed to doing
any thing TO insult his white friends. A com.
mittee of colored men had been delegated ool- g
lectors by the City Hall meetip z, and he thought
the money ought to be turned over to those au-
Mr. Slade was surprised at the turn things
had taken, for he was under the impression AT
were to receive the benefits OF the fund without
regard to color. As the colSection committee
had been selected by their white friends, he
was in favor OF continuing the subscriptions,
but before turning the money over the colored
men ought TO receive from the City Hall meet
ing satisfactory explanation as TO the dlspo-
sition to be made Of the money.
committee consisting of Messrs. Lewis and
Freeman were appointed to proceed TO the
City Hall and receive answers to the following
written questions: LIST, Is man not to receive
any benefits from the funds in hand unless he
has contributed s25l I'd, Does the City Hall
tnr ny1ir a
pointed by said meeting, to turn over the money
collected by the committee!
The committee retired, and in about half an
hour returned, and reported through Mr.. Lewis
that to the first question they had receivsd a
flat "no." and to the second question they had
been informed by Mr. Davis, the secretary, that
the City Hall meeting would he glad to receive
the mo.ey collected by the colored committee,
but did not desire to deceive them as TO the dis
position to be made of it,
Those who had opposed the Lewis resolution
now Withdrew their objections, when Mr..
Lewis called for a vote.
Mr. Freeman desired it to be distinctly under
stood before taking vote on the resolution that
the meeting at the City Hall had not discharged
the eolered man altogether for they allowed
him to receive benefits of the surplus funds il
he choosed to put in $25.
The question being taken on Mr.. Lewis re-
solution ii was unanimously adopted.
1t was then announced that the treasurer
had in his hands SI6S.
MI Freeman remarked that the colored peo-
pie need not be ashamed Of the amount in hand
as large sums had been paid into the City Hall
fund by colored men before meeting of the
colored people was called.
Thesum In hand was then increased by col
lections to $500, which was placed in the hands
OF a committee TO Distribute.
