SPECIAL Dispatches to The Eventno Telegraph.
WASHINGTON, January II.
Ann ual Meeting Of the American COIOni-
zaLAOn society.
The forty ninth annual meeting Of the Ameri-
can Colonization Society was held last night. It
was not so largely attended as the meetings have
been for several years past but number Of the
old and tme-honored leaders of the colonization
movement we're among the auditors. The report
states;-
1.-THE balance in the Treasury at the com
mencement of the year was $l523'33 The re-
ceipts have been from donations, S55Ss'27, and
from special donations for the Barbados expe-
dition, $15o4'76: from legacies, S5736'Os; from
the Government of the United States, being final
payments for the support of the recaptured
Africans landed in Liberia in 1850, SIG, 662.5O;
from the invested fund realized TO meet
the expenses of emgrants $11, zoos and
from other sources, Sl3, 3,773'26; making the
Total amount during the year. $40, 1920. The
disbursements for the same period we're SAL
734'87, of which S9259'26 was for passage and
the usual support ETC., of American entrants
and $40, 367 '9S was for the Barbados expedition;
leaving the cash on hand January l, 1866,
$50S3'34. OF this latter, S4SS5'37 is awaiting
the order OF the Lberian authorities, and the
balance, Sl95'97, is to the credit of the Society
"The number of emigrants to Liberia during
the past twelve months was five hundred and
twenty-seven, exceeding the emigration of any
year since 1856. One hundred and seventy-two
emigrants, who were sent out by the fall expedi
ton from Baltimore, and who were of the class
known as freedmen, and who were from or near
Lynchburg, Va, arrived safely in Liberia. The
prospects for the future are, that the Society
will soon have more than ever to do, as intelli-
gent freedmen are continually asking questions
relative to their transfer to Liberia. Though
the African republic, during the last four years,
has been deprived of the aid annually furnished
from this country it has been making steady
progress in national interests, usefulness, and
lnfluence.n

Republican Caucus.
The caucus OF House Republicans last night
came to no conclusion on the negro-suffrage
bill, and could not agree. 1t is now understood
that the Republican members of the House will
take up the various amendments to the bill from
the Judiciary Committee and vote for them
without caucus interference.
