THE REPUBLICAN MASS MrETHo.-The Rad-
cais called two meetings on the Battery yester-
day-one for S, and the other for halfpast I
o'clbck, both for the purpose Of making arrange
ments for grand celebration at an early day, in
honor or the adoption Of the Fifteenth amend
mcnt. In connection with the arst call was an an
nouncement stating that c. C. Bowen, Gilbert
Pillsbury, A. J. Ransier, R. II. Cain, F. ]. Moses,
Jr., J. II. Rainey, W. ]. Whipper, G. W. Clark, J.
H. jerks, and W. Fl. Mishaw would address the
meeting. This call was supposed to he in the in-
terests OF the Bowen faction. The other call, by
the Mackey faction, stated that at halfpast Z
O'Clock sthe action OF the Joint Committee On Gel
ebrating the Ratification Of the Fifteenth amend
ment to the Constitution OF the Emitted States be
there submitted to the people for their approval,
and that no list OF speakers be announced for the
occasion, but that such persons as the people may
call for do address the meeting" This was evil
denty intended as hit at the Bowenites, and
clearly showed that the Mackeyites did not intend
that their opponents should hold meeting OF
their own.
At S o'clock a few colored mer, and any num-
her orwomen aud children, assembled on the
Battery. The irrepressibe Thomas Jefferson
Mackey was on Land, and made brief speech,
telling the asscmblage that they must disperse
and come at half-past O'Clock. the hour for the
meeting Of the faithful. None OF the spt -kers an
nounccd to deliver addresses were to be seen;
none stepped forward to instruct the assemblase
and the members gradually dispersed about the
grounds. At O'Clock quite large crowd col
lcc.cd. T. J. Mackey, Sam Dickerson and others
made brief speeches; a set OF resolutions calling
for grand celebration at an early day wa;
ad4p.ed, and the crowd dispersed.

TIE CUBAN GIRL.-A few days ago we men,
sioned that Cuban girl was before Magistrates
7. J. aud J. G. Mackey, upon writ OF habeas cor
pus. The petition asking for the writ stated that
Flora Osma, OF African descent, aud born slave
in the City Of Havana, was owned or claimed to
be owned by one Fernando 0sma, who married
her half-sister, Ritter Osma, and who desired to
convey her back to the Island of Cuba, where her
mother now lives in slavery, and where she
(Floral also would have to be slave. cores
pendcnt states that he can see by the granting Of
the application for the writ and the further action
Of the magistrates that they "are Informed neither
OF the laws Of Spain nor Of the twenty-fourth
chapter OF the Constitution Of Cuba" THAT If any
person leaves Cuba for Spain or the United States,
and being slave, he or she will be free, and will
be so recognized on returning to Cuba, both by
the Cuban and Spanish authuritics;" furthermore
that Flora twas not slave in Cuba" and that
.she was treated by Ritter 0sma as her own
child:" that Mr.. Fernando Osma did not marry
his half-sister. for any one who was acquainted
with the Catholic religion knows that this Is not
tolerated, and, moreover, in a country which has
been under the control Of Spain.
