Il. thereIpOp leaned over the star span yled-
covered front of the stand and called the meet
ing to order, stating that the object was to Sc
cure the election OF men who would be free
from cliques. There were great many people,
he said, in wolves clothing, who pretended TO
he repub leans. but were at heart democrats.
|" That's so, Richard; Amt you one of thsm?"l
and he Tt garded Chapman as one OF these, for
he fayors the party that is opposed to the cleo
ton OF officers by the people. MIR. Beall was
proceeding when
rULL ON HIS coAr-rArL
warned him that other other orators were impa-
tient to lie heard, and he turned iulurlngly
around to Fenwick. The latter had things cut
and dried, and. referring to his list, no minated
elected.
Mr.. Collins, or taking the chair, returned his
thanks for the honor, aud proceeded to speak
OF what he termed the foul villainy, foul decep-
tioH-anC in fact, he said, he did not know what
TO say. AS he proceeded he waNed warm aud it
was not long before he denounced Chapman
as fraud and the board of public works as
thieves and assassins, Some one whispered
- Collins, Mr. Hine is here" whereupon Collins
let up.

MI tenWick again stepped forward in order
10 "resolute," but before he had read the four
teen whereases, with the appendage OF a few
resolves, some one in the crowd sung out, "Let's
look at that man; he's democrat;
1 SHOT AT SUCH FELLOWS
as him during the war" MIR. Fenwick threat
eped to call the police. and read to the end
when the resolutions were declared adopted, the
affirmative only being taken.

to hear that they were pleased with the nomina-

COLUMBIA HOSPITAL PoR WoNEN-BIsctioH
Of Offers. Gc.--At the seventh ANIMAL meeting
OF the board VI directors Of the Columbia hos
pItal Tor women last evening, at the hospital
building, corner OF 18th street and Pennsylva-
MA avenue, DR. j. III. Thompson, surgeon-in-
Chief, submitted his annual report, which shows
that the buildings and grounds are paid for, and
the Institution out of debt. After giving his
tory OF the hospital, DIR. L. says III his report -
- By comparing the reports Of this institution
for the last two years with those OF similar in-
situations in other parts of the country, it will be
found that in proportion to our fixed population
medical and surgical relief is gratuitously fur
nished to at least twenty per cent more patients
than are relieved at the hospitals in New York
Philadelphia. and other large cities. The deaths
that have occurred in the hospital are very
much below the average, and during the last
four years not one single death has occurred as
cIibable to or the result of surgical interference
u
very important operations have been performed.
The lying-in wards of this hospital have been
free from any epidemic disease during the whole
period OF their occupancy. The number of pa
tients treated at the hospital during the last
year has exceeded by more than double that OF
the former year, and is about equal to the az
gregate OF the four preceding years" A sum-
mary Of the entire opeT atoms of the hospital
from March, 1866, to June 80, 1872, shows -
Total number of patients admitted. IL ,455; num-
Der cured, 9,i51; relieved, 1851; ncurabie, 81;
