The Club was called to order by Mr.

no ID fuses would DO allowed. Mr..
Trickler had q stock Of goods which wore
breakable and Of easy transportation

Ar. PorLARthen road tho applications
.ofMr. .Arvoy and Mr.. Fetish, jr., to be-
come members of this Club; and moved
that they be admitted without probation.
! Dir. BooSRoD objected. lie was bad
enough, and the Club was notorious for
the neanness Gifts members; but he was
not prepared to admit any persons so
.cussed mean as the parties referred to.
Mr.. D. @. LURk said that at the outset
of the organization. meannoss-as uuder-
stood by the disloyal element-had been
tho qualification. Why discard it now :?
Both the applicants, by their devotion to
the Union, had incurred the contempt Of
the rebels generally, and that fact alone
should be their passport to our respect.
Mr.. BuSsIsoros deprecated the admis-
sion oftoo many Of the lower order Of
scalavags. If they were admitted, he
should not attend the meetings Of ths Club
unless allowed to enter the room by a
back door. ~ SUE ~ i= " '.'
= Nj. Grxrsos said he wsutd take his
davy ifhc was ashamed of any member of
this Club, or any man who desired to be-
come member thereof. The more menu
bcrs the more strength Hc was in favor
Of their admission, but would wait to hear
further remarks before he seconded the
motion. da4 a4;91 ll3t! oH7i'727 .
Mr.aFSrrrsu said that he, as a man in
official position, felt q little backward
about pushing himself forward; but if
these men were rejected on account Of
their meanncss, aud others, now members
Of this Club, we're not expelled for tho
same reason he should lave, and go
over to the Democrats. .t'a
Mr.. MupwALL said it would be well for
the gentleman frstto ascertain whether
the Democrats would have him. = 20
Mi. C. RAsY said lie should vote for the
admission Of tho applicants. 1t would
not do to reject any one by rdason Of their
social mcanness. II was well known
fact that each member Of the Club was as
mean or mcaaer than auybody outside Of
it. IIo protested against the pot abusing
the Kettle because it was black. l't q
Nr. LicurscoRcn said he regretted
from ihcso Of his new boots that dispo.
sition was manifested to ostracisc Mcssrs.
