The Meeting at Metropolitan Hall.
Owing to severe press upon our time and
space yesterday, we failed to notice the pro-
ceedings Of the Republican meeting held at
Metropolitan Hall night before last. The
meeting was large one, nearly every avail
able place being occupied by both white and
colored members of the party, all of whom
expected several Of our prominent leaders to
be present and address them. The Hon. Chas
Fl Porter. John r. Popham, L. q. Chandler
and |. II. Shields, were announced as the
speakers of the evening.
The first three of them were suddenly and
unexpectedly called to Washington during the
day, preventing them from carrying out the
anticipated programme. The entire duties of
the evening devolved upon Colonel Shields,
the only announced speaker that was present,
who discharged the duty to the entire sstisfac.
tion of those assembled. He commenced his
able address by showing the prejudice which
has existed against all progressive ideas from
the days of our Saviour to the present time,
and showed that the existing opposition to our
party was but in keeping with the anti-pro-
gressive notions of the past.
His remarks fer nearly two hours were lis.
tened to with marked attention and made
favorable impression on his hearers. Ridicule
the efforts of such men, much as you please,
but the good work in which they are engaged
will in fnture, bring forth glorious fruit. Col.
Shields deserves the thanks of his party for
the noble efforts be is making in its behal.

YALMAsEDA's LAST INSULT TO THE
GOVERNMENT OF THE UNITED STATES.
The Bank of Havana has at various times
lent large sums to the Captain General of
Cuba on account of the Spanish Govern
ment, and to raise money to repay them
the Captain General has caused to be
seized and sold, as the property of insur-
gents, large number of plantations,
among them several which were owned by
New York firms Secretary Fish directed
Gen Sickles to demand restitution, and
the King at once directed Mr.. Roberts, the
Spanish Minister here, to see that the pro-
perty was restored. He then applied to tho
Captain General to disgofge and take his
hands off, and received a polite reply that
he could not do SO unless large sums of
money are paid to him. The next ques-
ton is whether Secretary Fish will allow
the United States Government to be thus
trined with without resenting it.

The Shooting Of Young Lawyer-Ae-
guittal of Clark.-Last night, between the
hours Of nine and ten o'clock, Mr.. A. N. CLARK.
employed as . clerk BY Messrs. g. b. Stacy d
Sons, entered building on Twelfth street, be.
tween Main and Bank streets, where he ex.
there for the purpose Of holding . social gath
eriug.
In passing up long fight of stairs, which
were enyeloped In darkness, he was grasped
by the throat by some unknown person at the
time, whose conduct induced Mr.. Clark to be.
lieve, intended TO rob or kill him. He made
several Intellectual attempts to free himse
ant. Drawing q pistol he fired three shots,
each Of which took effect, and released Mr..
Clark.
When lights were procured, IL was ascer.
tained that he had shot and seriously wounded
". I. g. Gsrnett. Esq, syoung lawyer of
this city. who occupied room on the same
floor which Mr.. Clark desired visiting. Mr.,
Clark savs be had no idea that his assailant
wss Mr.. Garnett. but supposed it was q negro.
tUnless Mr.. Clark imagines white men inca
pable OF doing wrong, We can see no reason
why be should have imagined his enemy a ne
gro. unless some feud existed between himself
and one.)
M. CLARK was tried this morning before
Police Justice White, who discharged him;
stating that Mr.. 9arnett had informed him
that Mr.. Clark had done no more than the olrs
cumstances demanded of him, that he was
perfectly justified in the act.
This 10 very sad case indeed, and should be
warning to the young men OF the present
oay against ualawfully carrying concealed
weapons.
As We 60 to press, we are informed that Mr..
Garnett, who was unfortunately shot last
night, is in very critical condition. His ply.
sicians decline to permit him to be seen.
