THE EVENING NEWS.

Mass MEErISG.-On Saturday evening
pursuant to the call from ''Many Citizens
in the News, quite crowd assembled at
the First District Court Room, and Or
yanized into form with the choice of S. A.
Chaplin, Esq, as Chairman. and J. F.
Hutton, Secretary. Mr.. Chaplin. upon
taking the Chair, addressed the assem-
blage, stating the cause for which the peo-
pie were called together, and condemna-
tory of the action of the Legislature in
passing the Charter Act. D. 0. Adkin-
son was called for and freed his mind in
some extended remarks, characterizins the
passage of the aforementioned act as
h-l of an outrage, and informing the
people that che had so said to the repre-
sentativeS. The gentleman's remarks
were frequently applauded. Col. John
A. Collins next appeared upon call, and
spoke in his usual manner, making the
whole theory of self-government a
BRILLIANT farce. and reprimanding the Legis-
lature in severe terms. Upon motion,
Committee of Five was appointed to
memoriahze the Legislature, and subse-
quently amended for the calling of another
mass meeting this evening. A committee
was also appointed to correspond with
Gov. Blasdel relative to the matter. Mr..
Seely, Senator from Ormsby county,
appeared and attempted to explain his
position, and was asked TO apologize, but
said he couldn't think of such thing, al
though he didn't entirely agree with oil
the provisions Of the act. At this
point Messrs. Winton and Claggett
made their appearance, and the hub
bub became general. Mr.. Winton was
willing to apologize to the soverigns,
and willing to be apologized to;
if he had done anything wrong he
was ready to undo it and be forgiven in
brief he could catch more flies with mo-
lasses than vinegar. Clagget on the other
hand made a characteristic speech. bold,
outspoken, digni6ed and full of feeling
that he had done right and saved the city
from Copperhead officers, and feeling in
that way was ready to stand his hand.
Frank Tilford, one Of the disaffected, made
a speech replete with logic, and republican
% sentiments; he wanted to lay aside
politics (the minority always do),
for the public good. He drew compar-
isons between Winton and Clagget, and
finally called upon Heaven and the Leg
islature to have mercy on the city. Mr..
Clagget responded to Mr.. Tilford's har-
rangue, and entirely exonerated the re-
Gently elected officials of any completely in
the matter, and took all the blame (if
blame there beg upon his own shoulders.
Captain E. A. Rowe followed in some
emphatic remarks, denying everything
said by the previous speaker, and made
an argument on city Indebtedness. Judge
Pitzer (another injured patriot) made a
peregrinating speech, remarkable for its
length; in apparently the secondly"
part of which, the irrepreSSible Brundage
made a motion to adjourn. Ptzer wanted
TO know who the fellow was, and Brund-
age had the grit to tell him. Brundage
mounted the rostrum, and boiled with
virtuous indignation. He was indignant,
and in the midst of all his fierce emotions,
he was left in the dark, some wretch hav-
ing turned off the gas. Another meeting
is to be held at the same place this even
ing. Your reporter would furthermore
say, relative to the matter, that many
good Union men condemn the action of
the Legislature, and have the right so to
do; but the Copperheads, who had hoped
for another split in the Union party, are
as mad as wet hens, and denounce the
whole affair as an infringement of their
rights.
