The Tammany Han General Committee met In

ment OF the wigwam, In Fourteenth street, and
while it rejoiced In the great victory Of Tuesday
last, aud the warriors sat with pleasant faces con-
graduating each other the great tomahawk was
cIsentombed and swung sauarely at the neck OF one
of the members, who. IL was generally believed, a
month or two ago was prepared to do his level
best in his official position to aid the cause OF the
organization. Police Commissioner Oliver Char
lick, member OF the General Committee from the
Fiitc enth district, ANONYMOUSLY expelled
from the organization by unanimous vote, and a
round OF yells ana applause followed to ratify the
execution OF the sentence.
The attendance OF members was very full, ana
nearly all the successful candidates in Tuesdays
contest were present. John Kelly, the future
leader OF the Hail: Senators elect Thomas A. Led
with ana John Fox; Aldermen Lysaght, Fana-
gan and Reilly; Judge Fowler, Assistant

wickham and other weli-known members were
OF the number.
The meeting was called TO order amid clouds Of
cigar smoke by the chairman, John w. Chanler.
EDWARD L. DoSEELLy. Treasurer OF the COM
mittee. stated that he was unable at present to
submit u fun report OF the financial condition OF
the treasury. but there was balance on hand In
$1,000.
JoHS KELLY then arose from his seat and said
that on
THE NIGHT or TUESDAY LAST,
at the meeting then held In Tammany Hall,
q committee had been appointed to watch the elec
returns at Police Headquarters. and, II posi-.
ble prevent them being changed or altered in
their hgureS This done on account OF con-
siderable doubt which was expressed by parties in
the organization as to the reception OF the election
returns at the headquarters, especially with re
gard TO those from the Senatorial districts He
hoped this committee would make report and
offer Tor adoption suitable resolutions expressing
their views on the subject.
JOHN MoRRIssEY said that the Police Department
had used all its forces against this organization in
the late election. There In the Police Depart
ment two supposed democrats, one OF whom, Mr..
Charlick went there to beat his neighbor. They
had raised rebellion there and had been defeated
There were in this organization men OF the same
nationality Irish as he lthe spcakerl was, namely,
Fox, Walsh and Ledwith but the Police Commits
sioners did not succeed In achieving that which
they aimed at by their lodging. His
not stating his views at the meeting, ''but" con-
tnued Mr.. Morrissey, 1T will give me infinite
pleasure to offer resolution TO the effect that
MR. CHARLCK BE EXPELLED
from this organization, as there was no middle
way In this hight between democrats and republi-
cans, Tor the latter were entitled to their money,
as they had dearly earned it.n In conclusion he
would beg to move that Onyer Charck be expelled
from the Organization.
Judge LRDwITH arose to second the resolution,
| or. In other words, as he said, TO move an amend
tons, giving satisfactory reasons for this expulsion,
as Mr. Charck obtained his present official position
TO give expression to their indignation suitable
resolutions In the Eighteenth Assembly district the
| ing OF election and thieves were set TO work In
their stead, by which he tthe speakerl was cheated
OF from 1,500 TO 1000 votes. This was the reason
| he opposed the amendment.
Mr.. MoRRIssEY said in answer that Mr.. Ledwith
was more lenent than he was inclined TO be- as in
his Judgment the resolution did not require any
amendment. He would accept II, however, but in
his opinion MT Charlick deserved no considera-
tion or kind treatment at the hands OF this body.
General F. b. SPISoLA moved TO further amend
the resolutions. instructing the committee to re-
port to the meeting tonight.
WILLIAM s. O'BRlEs, OF the Fifteenth district,
thought that
NO PERSON SHOULD Be CONDEMNED
This suggestion was received with groans and
Kisses, but the speaker continued hts remarks,
disregarding the interruption. he said he never
voted any but the Tammany Hall ticket, and asked
in the name OF the democracy OF New York that
u
conquerors, and therefore could afford to be
generous. He did not appear before them as any
mechanic @ R' earning his bread by the sweat 81 his
brow. He was not advocating any persons cause
or interest but simply asked them In the name o.
the democracy, which was synonymous with lair
play, not to suy their standard by crushing man
who was not present to hear the charges brought
Judge LEDwIrH said he had listened TO the
narangues from the gentleman in the Fifteenth
district. This gentleman had accepted office at
tonight to defend him, as
cHARLIcK MIGHT TURN HIM OUT
OF his situation II he did not do so. They would
treat Mr. O'Bren as an inonensive mortal, very
indulgenty and say nothing harsh.
General SPINOLA trusted that the members OF
the committee would not forget the dignity OF the
democratic party tonight. They were not here 10
and il guilty, to condemn him for treason to this
organization. IL was owing 90 his treason that
Apollo Hall lived for five minutes in this body. He
gave James O'Brien the appointing ofInspectors OF
Election at the recent contest, and made pointed
attack the Senatorial candidates in the Fourth,
Seventh and Eighth districts for the purpose OF
COUNTING THEN OUT"
He held that Mr.. Charick had no claim on this
organization, and, IN his opinion, Charick should
be condemned TO dungeon.
The resolution was then read as amended that q
committee OF 1--WE be appointed to retire and pre-
pare suitable resolutions, to report TO this CON-
mittee. This was adopted unanimously.
The committee was appointed by the Chair, and
sullivan, +. B. spinola Maurice J. Powers, william
II. quincy and Nathaniel rurpenny.
An nulvldua IN the BODY OF tne nall suggested the
name OF Mr. Morrissey as member Of the commit
tee but Mr. Morrissey stated that he could not act
upon this committee, as his opinion was already
formed about the matter.
THE COMMITTEE ON CHARLICK
then retired, and Q recess was taken. Before its
expiration, however, q motion was carried re-
scinding the resolution OF recess, and the business
of the meeting was proceeded with.
john KELLY said the members OF the committee
appointed at the mass meeting to watch the re-
turns at Police Headquarters were present tonight.
They had been directed TO report to the mass
meeting, but had been unable to do so from causes
wncn they could explain, and he now moved that
inasmuch as the authority under which that COM
nittee acted emanated from Tammany Hall, they
be now permitted to report Carried.
THE AWFUL STORY.

". Chanler, Algcrnon s. sullivan W. IL. Wickham,
Charles swan and A. T. Ackert, constituted the
