IRE REPUBLICANS OF JACKSON WARD RATIrY
TH2IR PARTY NOMINATIONS AGAIN.--The Re-
publicans OF jackson Ward met again last
night to consider the nominations made by
the convention for aldermen and council
men. The meeting was held in the base
ment of the Third Street Methodist church.
aud was presided over by Josiah Crump
james Burwell acting us secretary. 4
communication from the Radical CITY
Central Committee recommending to the
Ward voters to support independent caudi.
dates where there are no regular party nomi-
nees was presented and received, and where
the Independents are honest, faithful men.
One of the colored voters present wanted to
know who the Independents were9
The chairman said he wasn't able to give
him all the information he desired.
Mr.. r. VI. Manly said he was glad that the
committee had not recommended the Inde.
peudents except where they are good and
pure men.
The regular ticket of the ward, including
the names of MeSsrs. james W. Gilman and
George II. Bright, was read.
A white Republican voter the only one
present except Mr.. Manly moved that the
meeting support the independent candidates
The motion was received with laughter
by the meeting, and entirely disregardcd by
the Chairman.
A motion to ratify the former nomination:
was made and adopted.
Much talk ensued between Landon Boyd
John Oliver, and others concerning the posi-
ton of Mr.. Gilman and DR.. Bright, and il
was finally agreed that in order to secure
improvement in the ward it would be neces
sary to send Conservatives to the Council.
A colored voter by the name OF Bul'ocs
addressed the meeting at some length On the
subject of the independent candidates and
their merits, and declared that he was tired
of being cheated out of the election !; that
two years ago certain independent had been
elected, and when the vote was counted he
had been cheated out of it. He didn't mean
to throw bis vote away any longer. he be-
liered Z. B. Cook to be an honest man, and
he meant to support him.
Sundry points of order were raised, Mr.
Manly got up and left, and after good deal
of olarrelipp the meeting broke up.

WHAT THE hEPCBLICANS OF MADISON " ARD
INTEND TO Do.--The Republicans OF Madison
Ward met last night ahout9 O'Clock at Hams
Hall. 0. II. Russell in the chair.
The chairman laid before the meeting a
communication from the Republican City
Committee, recommending and urging that
the Republicans OF Madison Ward support
indeuendent candidates where they are
worthy, true men, aud where no Republl'
cans have been nominated.
MIR Andrew WaShburr addressed the
Climb. and said that the only hope OF purSlng
the city government OF corrupt men would
he fo vote for the Independents that there
was no hone of the Republicans electlng
their own ticket; that no Republican could
ever hold Office in Richmond unless he 6e
an ind.pendent candidate, and be elected as
sucb. He knew that many independents
candidates had already been nominated
that ft,ll ticket would probably be put out
before election day, and he sincerely
hoDed 1t would be the case, and If so
they would probably be elected. The CUES
tion with him was whether he should DC
ruled by ring. which Is curse TO any Guy.
There might bo one or two good men on tne
ticket. but in order to elect them the Kepup-
licans would have to vote for tho whole con.
Germ. This he was opposed 10. ne was
tired of ballot-box smsshers, ana ne hefleted
the honest, true men Of tho Conservative
Marty are 50 too. BE know that if any Re
nublican should get 1000 majority lie
wonldn,t get the Office in the count.
Questions Of this kind bad been consio'
cred by the committee, and hence their ae-
tion. After his address he presented re.
solution to the effect that the Republicans OF
Madison Ward should support the lndepen-
dent nominees; which was put to the meet
ing and agreed to.
Mr. Russell, the chairman, next proceeaea
to address the Club on the subject OF all IN
dependent candidate for Mayor, ana de-
clared that Messrs. w. c. Darlington, ). L..
Williams, and z. II. Starke had all oeen
spoken Of The latter gentleman had been
spoken to on the subject, but up to iate
hour this evening (Monday) he DIR. Starke)
had not decided what he would do. he be-
lieyetl an honest ticket OF independents,
whether they be Conservatives or Repuoil-
cans. would be elected, and he hoped every
voter in the Ward would act as the commit
tee requested
The meeting next appointed runners and
persons to distribute tickets ut the polls, ana
then adjourned.
Conservatives, beware!

IHE RICHMOND HowTTzERs CE1EBgAT1os
That splendid artillery company, the Rich.
mond Howitzers, Captain Henry G. Carter,
celebrated the third anniversary of their or.
ganization yesterday at Strawberry Hill, the
beautiful farm of Mr. Edmond, on the
Chckahomny, four miles from The city.
At an early hour yesterday, after firing q
salyo III honor Of the natal dav of the Queen
of Great Britain, which was called for in con.
slderation of the celebration by British set
tiers, the company, with its Splendid bat
terry of four rife guns, moved to Strawberry
Hill, and after going into battery the
target practice commenced at about four hum
dred yards. Two shotsswere fred. but it
was discovered that possibly some accident
m,gns result oy continuing the fire in that
o,fection. a new position was taken By
piacing the battery on the hill near the man
sion house and firing across the plain to-
wards the river at about twelve hundred
yards distance. The pointing of the guns
was well executed, all the discharges being
line shots, several striking the target, which
was twelve by eight feet, Two coming within
less than two feet of the centre. The best
shot was made by staff sergeant Bosher at
the long, and the second by gunner Roy at
the short range. There were present besides
the company about fifty Of the old Howtzers
OF the war battalion, Colonel Sloan, Captain
Clarke, and Surgeon Cunningham, Of the
First regiment; Colonel Cutshaw, Major
Courtney, Colonel J. C. Shields, aud perhaps
other officers of the artillery army, who had
seen field service in the past. -,.
The company having ceased firing the
committee OF arrangements invited their
friends to splendid repast, which was dis
ctIssed and enjoyed in no small degree. Song,
sentiment, and mirth closed the day.
A picture of the company with their pieces
in battery was taken by Mr.. Rees. 1t vas
stated on the field that the artist expressed
himself as entirely satisfied of fine success.
Lieutenant Elicit, officer of the day, Lieu
tenant Workman, ordnance and signal Cfti.
Ger, and Guidon c. p. Hawes discharged
their responsible duties in the most efficient
aud soldierly manner.
The proprietor at Strawberry Hill, Mr.
walter !. Edmond, assisted by his manager,
MIR. Radcliffe, were marked in courtesy and
attention to the company, and remained
with their guests the entire day. Captain
Carter, for himself and on behalf Of his
command, made Acknowledgement in grace
fui terms for the kindness shown them.
The celebration was conducted in tue most
orderly manner, and every one present had
u charming time.
