RICHMOND, Dec. 6.-GOvernOr Walker, in his

cured the polls, or federal batteries, with
shotted guns, beleagued the city, to
oyerawe the citizens in the free ex-
ercise of the elective franchise; when
imbecie and corrupt local governments
are forced upon people, and they are
punished for the inetfcency and rOttennesS of
these very governments by the arbitrary depri-
yation of all civil government ali rights, and all
li6erty-aTested by thousands without warrant
of law, and driven to prison like cattle to the
shambles-it is time the alarm bell was sounded
and the people awakened TO a sense of the dan
gers impending. They alone can apply the cor
rectOn.
"They have the means of redress in their own
hands. Let them insist that the doctrine of the
indestructabity of the Union, as our fathers
framed it, shall be recognized, and the original

to the Union be acknowledged Let them de-

speech at the citizens meeting, and received
much applause.
Hon. P. Emory Aldrich spoke of the citizens
movement as having originated in theidemocrat-
ic headquarters, and regretted that our best men
were so very busy that they could not devote
themselves to the management OF our city
affairs. Turning to a seat near by, he said :;
''Here are several men whom we would be glad
to get for our mayor if they could be induced
to accept the office: Mr. Washbum, chairman
of the meeting, w. W. Rice, George Crompton,
and J. II. Walker" At the mention of each
name a lively demonstration of applause was
made; but when Mr. Walkers name was
spoken such clapping of hands and humping
Of canes upon the floor was set up as
to necessitate a pause for few seconds. Mr..
Aldrich spoke of the illustrious examples Of
selfsacrifcng mayors-De Witt Clinton, who
resigned his seat in the national senate to as
sumo the mayors duties in New York city,
when it was small compared to its present
size, and the elder Quincy, who instituted
measures, while mayor of Boston, which will
keep his memory in honor for generations to
come; and at time when Boston was no
larger than Worcester now is.
Mr.. H. c. Rice offered the following resolu-
ton, which was unanimously adopted:
Resolved, as the opinion of this meeting, that it
is the duty of the city convention to select cand
dates for mayor and aldermen, without reference to
personal preferences those men who shall best
combine all the elements of the republican party in
their support, and thus secure the triumphant
election of the ticket
Previous to the adoption of the resolution,
after repeated calls, j. Eyarts Greene, Esq,
arose and stated that although he felt Il at
whatever he could say would be of little interest
to the meeting, still, il it was desired that he
speak upon the resolution. he would igive all
present the assurance that it met his hearty APP
proyal. He had no reason to believe that any
republican in the city desired different course
from that indicated by the resolution.
Messrs. Stoddard and Thayer again made brief
speeches, expressing themselves in favor of
leaving the whole matter to the delegates, now
that they had heard the expression of those
present They each believed that no expression
should he made to cramp the free action of the
delegates.

GIGANTIC FRAUD.


LITTLE Rock, Dec. 6.-The Journal to-day
contains a card from the commissioner of pub
lie works regarding the fraudulent issue of $751;
900 levee bonds to Haymaker Of St. Louis, lately

original. The commissioner therefore notifies
the authorities of his criminal negligence in the
matter, and that any issue of bonds upon such
duplicates, about which there appears to have
