THE GERMAN REPUBLICANS.

Endorsing the Republican Charter
Recommendations Of the German
Republican Central Committee.
The German Republican Central Committee,
Carl SCHNEIDER presiding, held meeting at $40
B0wery last night when the Executive
Committee, through Leo We'll, submitted
a report, announcing that the committee
had been organized by the election or
Morris Friedsam Chairman and himself Secretary.
Further, that special committee had been dele.
gated TO Albany to represent to The Legislature
that the German republicans opposed TO the
proposition urged in some quarters to con.
fer dictatorial powers upon an executive
officer in the matter of appointments. Res
olutions to that effect were submitted
to the Committee OF the Legislature on Cities;
also resolutions against the proposition to separate
the city election from the general election on the
ground that such a measure not only involved an
unnecessary interference with the business OF the
part Of the citizens to attend to it, but would
Increase immensely the expenses OF This
burdeneL community. The committee reported
that these points had been argued before the
Committee on Cities, which accorded to the delega
ton patient hearing and cordial reception. The
report of the Executive Committee was adopted,
and some additional measures were discussed to
be applied to the adoption OF the republican char
ter amendments with the view Of effecting in that
way thorough reform Of the administration Of
our municipal affairs.

Brooklyn; General W.. $; Hillyer, OF General
Mark Smith and John Brougham. The din
ner was served up In very sumptuous
STYLE and, OF course was done full honor to by the
guests. The bill OF fare was very elaborate and
dainty. Willis s. Paine 0fficiated as Chairman,
and after the more substantial entertainment OF
the evening eating proper was dispensed with in
favor OF the usual 1ow of soul, &c. The Grafton Of
the evening was delivered by Jacob SPAIN. The
historian OF the association, Franklin Burdge, de-
nvered history since the starting OF the affair
in 1s46. Then poem, written Tor the
OCCASION" was delivered by the Poet OF the T. D. G..
John Brougham. After this the regular toasts OF
the evening were In order, and were proposed and
responded to as foows:-"The Theta Delta
Chin by J. Kilburne Jones; "The Press, by Colonel

DINNER OF THE HARVARD CLUB.

Last evening about one hundred gentlemen,
alumni of Harvard University, who have an organ
iZation known as the Harvard Club" held their
seventh annual dinner at Demonico's, in Fifth
avenue. Among the distinguished guests who
sat at the main table were Parke Goodwin Rev.
James Freeman Clarke, william G. Choate and Will
liam Walter Phelps. The President of the associa-
ton, Mr. William G. Choate, occupied the chair,
and after the cloth was removed delivered humOr-
Gus and eloquent address, characteristic and H.
Illustrative OF the history and fortunes of
"fair Harvard" In his address Mr.. Choate
referred to the Rev. John Weiss who had been.
spotless as was his character, subjected to sort
OF persecution, which arose from the fact that a
certain class of persons, who, II man dares to
differ with them IN opinion, insist upon samming
the door In his face. He was o distinguished son
OF Harvard, and he regretted his unavoidable
were he present, to testify to their admiration for
his character and attainments. tApplause.)
The first regular toast was, "Harvard-our Alma
Mater" which was responded to by President Ell
lott. OF Harvard University. He spoke of the five
distinguished gentlemen who had governed Har-
perfect specimen OF Toson culture
most enthusiastic of scholars, and Sparks. whose
name was indssolubly connected with that of Wash
lngton by his admirable biography OF that great and
good man, and alluded to the fact that Harvard was
never so strong as at present and her future was
never more hopeful. A steady stream of c0ntrlbu-
lions had continued to flow In ever since the fire.
Many persons believed that he (the speaker) was
most fortunate in obtaining gifts for Harvard Col
lege but the fact OF 1t was that the principal per-
sons who had made the greatest gifts to Harvard
were not known to the speaker, and he had never
exchanged word with them, either
verbally or in writing, until they had be-
slowed their gifts. He referred to the
rumOrs and newspaper speculations IN regard to
what was called the radical revolution supposed to
be going on in Havana. IL was supposed that lee
lures were being substituted for rectatiOns. The
fact was there were more lectures and more rec-
tati0ns than were ever given before, and more
work In the laboratory than ever. (Applause.)
Written examinations were better and teaching
has increased. The number OF teachers had
doubled In SIX years. lie was opposed to uni
form curriculum OF studies for ali students. More
time was given to instruation and less to what
might be termed "Inquisition."
The remaining toasts and responses were as
follows-
"The Overseers OF Harvard" response by Rev.
James Freeman Clarke; yale College," response
by william Walter Phelps; ''The Press,n by Parke
Goodwin; washington" by James G. Carter;
THE Harvard Club" by Joseph II: Choate; "The
Medical Faculty. by Dr. Norton Solston, and ssThe
Bench and Bar" by Henry Wilson Rowland.

NEW YORK.

New York, May 5.-Wm. Black, OF
the firm of Ball, Black & Co., celebrated
jewellers, died yesterday aged sixty-seven
years.
Exciting scenes we're witnessed on
Wall street Saturday in connection with
the sudden break in the Pacific Nail,
which caused spectators in that stock
to gather together in different places
yesterday to consult the probable course
Of the market to-day and TO form new
schemes for its manipulation. A con
ference was held yesterday regarding
the Stockwell mortgage for 81, 10000
upon the Howe Machine Gem
pany's property. As near as could
be ascertained, it was resolved to
help the Pacific Mail substantially, and
e nable Stockwell to tide over difficulties
for the present at least. Rufus Hatch
offered to loan Stockwell 100000 to take
up the note due the Manufacturers and
Bank. 1t lis understood that
it was excepted. An arrangement was
also made with VIM. Parks, by which the
entire amount due the Pacific Mail Com
pany Is to be paid at once. 1t is though
that this will relieve the company and
place it upon firm basis, with plenty Of
money in its treasury.
