MEETING OF THE JACKSON AssoOl
TI0N

MEETING OF THE JACKSON ASSoCIA-
TON,
A meeting Of the Jackson Democratic Assscia-
tion was held at Trades Union hall last night,
with an attendance Of twenty members; the
president, Mr.. John E. Norris, in the chair, and
DR.. Charles Allen secretary.
DR.. Culver, from the committee appointed for
that purpose, reported that Lincoln hall had
been secured for the public meeting on the sth of
January.
Col. ]. W. Moore then, by invitation, aidressed
the meeting. He complimented them upon the
victory, urged the unity and perpetuation Of the
the city. He reflected in severe terms upon the
late District government, and expressed the be-
should net delegate to any one the right to iegis
late for the ten miles square. He next branched
of on States rights, and in the course Of his re-
ried out as guaranteed by the Constitution slavery
never would have been abolished. He closed
with an urgent plea for harmony in the ranks.
Mr.. Thompson made q short address, urging
harmony. he said that he had been called upon
to Join another Democratic association but would
never do so as long as the old jackson lasted. He
A resolution indorsing the Evening Maj as the
organ Of the Democracy was referred to the ex-
ecutive committee. The Democratic standing Of
its editor was discussed, but, without deciding
whether he was firm enough In the faith to rep
resent them, the subject was dropped.
DR.. Culver replied to Mr.. Thompson's remarks
about the other association by Informing him
that many were members of both, and that there
was room enough in town for more. He also took
occasion to say that he proposed to address them
upon the subject Of finance, and would be glad to
have q full attendance, ss he had new theory on
the entire subject.
DR.. Allen made speech, in which he devoted
considerable time to an abuse of the late District
government, whose venality and corruption he
claimed was the principal cause OF the defeat of
the Republican party.
The meeting then decided to invite Mr. Robert
Christy to address them at the next meeting, and
adjourned.

THE NEW GOVERNMENT.

SOME SUGGESTIONS ON THE SUBJECT.
TIE Washington correspondent of the New
York Times telegraphed that journal yesterday
the following in relation to the new government
for the District:
1.-THE main points Of thelbilI-tO be reported by
the Joint Committee for the Government of the
District Of Columbia were printed in the Times
several days ago. One feature Of the new gov
eminent is attracting especial attention among
the people Of the District. The committee, il
would seem, are not altogether agreed whether
the District shall be left altogether without suE-
frage or whether it shall be allowed Delegatein
Congress, as under the government last winter
repealed. Aside from the question Of whether
the new government would be better or worse by
the entire abolition Of suffrage are considerations
Of what is eXpedient. 1t is freely stated among
members Of Congress who have arrived here that
no bill can become a law which does not contain
in II some principle OF representation. All the
members who have given the subject Impartial
consideration can see that the system of politics
which has prevailed in Washington must be
ment can be established. But at the same time
they feel that TO deprive the people Of any repre-
seutatiOn would be inconsistent, and perhaps
unjust.
''If the District is allowed a Delegate in Con
gTess this Delegate may be by law CT oFcio a
member Of the several boards. such as the Com
mission of Education, the Board of PubIis
Works. the Police Commission, &c and he will
thus be able to make statements upon authority
whenever he addresses the House. or course he
would not be allowed to vote. AS he would have
to be prepared to give an account IN debate Of
the operations of the boards with which he was
connected, he would, Of necessity, make himself
familiar with their proceedings, and the fact that
anything wrong IN their conduct If exposed,
would make him personally responsible to the
House. would lead him TO keep a Yigilant watch
against fraud and irregularities Of every deserIp-
ton; besides, the fact that the passage Of any
bill without some concessions to the desire Of the
people for the right TO vote is highly improbable
There are some apparent advantages in allowing
the District a Delegate in Congress, which the
committee has already considered, but neither
the committee nor probably a majority in Con
ETess will cOncede an elective legislative body
Yer the District with the risk that it may be the
theatre Of such scenes as were transacted in the
District Legislature during the last two or three
years. In no event will there be any attempt to
restrict the suffrage by property qualifications
such as some OF the taxpayers, sO-called, are
anxious to secure. Such restrictions would meet
with no favor in LnngreEsl,
