This organization, located in the First Ward,
met at Stevens schooi-house last evening, the
President, Cornelius Clark, in the chair. and
Alfred Day secretary. Mr. Andrew Freeman
offered a preamble reciting the fact that Sandy
Lacey, the Collector Of Garbage for the First
Ward, had received notice from Jerome john
son, the Commissioner of the Ward, that his
services were no longer needed, and that no
cause was assigned for his removal; and accom-
panied the same with q resolution requesting the
Mayor to reappoint said Lacey, who was re-
moved without just right, and without his (the
Mayor's) consent. Mr.. Alfred Day thought it
was matter outside of politics, and one emf
nently lit for the consideration of the Union, as
Mr.. Lacey was n member of the organization.
and should be protected by the binding power of
| in power shonld know that the. Union would
| look after the interests Of its members Mr..
Freeman then advocated the immediate adop-
ton OF the resolution, SAYING that after Lacey
had used his utmost efforts to put johnson
where he was, removal from office was his
Uacey's) reward, while notorious Copperheads
were retained. The speaker hoped to see the
| day when the author of this evil (JOhnson)
would be turned out. iApplausel He then
moved that a committee of three be appointed
to wait on the Mayor and urge the reappoint-
ment OF Sandy Lacey as Collector of Garbage
| for the First Ward. which was carried; and the
Chair appointed Messrs. Alfred Day, Andrew
Freeman and Thomas Sleeps as the committee.
Mr.. 4. "A. Fish then said that a vital question
would come up i'm the Labor Convention. soon to
assemble in this city, that of 'I.aboring Mems
Protective Unions. and whether or not they
should affiliate with political parties order 10
effect their objects" For one he was opposed 20
the principle, and thought if they gave their
vote in aid of any political party it would he a
death blow to the purposes OF their own .,ani-
Zation. In the Labor Convention there would
be men of different shades OF politics,
and if the Protective Union OF the
WnrI 60, %r,Asr -.
| teal views erolasireIy, it would forfeit to
| them the moral support of those holding differ
| ent political opinions. In that view he offered
resolution to the effect ''that it was the daty
| OF the delegates of Protective Union. No. l. to
consider only in their deliberations the interest
| of the workingman without regard TO party pol
meeting on the subject. Mr.. Freeman thought
| IL was reflection on the convention tO antici-
pate the probable topics of their discussions and
he would like to know the authority by which it
was told that such n subject would come before
| the Convention. Mr.. Fish replied that lie had
been led To believe the fact from conversations
he had had with some of the delegates from other
parts OF the country, who were now in the city.
MIR, Freeman then said that the organic law OF
the Union eschewing politics was, in his opinion,
sufficient guide for the delegates without fur
| ther resolutions. Mr.. Isaiah Bouidin then Of
fered a substitute tor the resolution, which was
| unanimously adopted, "that the politics repre-
interests Of the laboring men of this city and of
| the whole Union." The Chair then made
statement Of the street improvement showing
sna1 the of was already paid by the
81 still due, which would be paid shortly,
when all the members Of the Union would be
promptly paid for their services. Adjourned.

the occupants of the White House. Among
