There is no reason why the broEn hand

Washington Flour,

1t is a subject of considerable pride to the
District of Columbia to be enabled to boast of
a live firm whose ambition to excel has placed
them in the front rank of manufacturers.
We refer with pride to Messrs. Deener, Cissel
& Welsh, of Georgetown, who took the first
premium for fancy Southern -four at the Cen
tennial. In addition to this they also took the
gold medal at the Vienna Exposition. 1t is
also their intention to compete for the premium
at the Paris Exposition in 1873. These gentle
men are old residents of Washington and
Georgetown, one of the firm, A. H. Herr, esq,
being one Of the most wealthy and enterpris-
ing of Our citizens. Our modest, whole souled
friend, wash" Cissel, was in the grocery
business for over twenty years before ne be-
came a miller, and, with our genial friend
Deener, now make the biggest -four team in
the country, while the Welsh boys can't be
beat in turning out patent and premium pro-
cess.

The Hayes and Wheeler Invincible Campaign
Cluh

The above club met at their rooms last even
ing; B. C. Freeman presiding, and William c.
Chase secretary. Fourteen applications for
membership were read and received.
Howard L. Smith, vice president, and chair
man of the committee on public documents,
stated that he had received from the National
Congressional committee about thirty thousand
documents and several hundred forms of organ
ization and campaign songs; that he and the
secretary had transmitted throughout the
Southern States since the LIST of August over
twenty-eight thousand documents, and that he
had orders now for twenty ty-three thousand
more. The report was adopted, and q unani-
nous vote of thanks was rendered Messrs.
Smith and Chase for their indefatigablet nergy.
The secretary then offered resolution con-
demnatory of the action of the colored politi-
cal renegades who had deserted the Republican
party and were affiliating with the Democracy.
This resolution was unanimously adopted.
The treasurer, John E. Brooks, stated that
there was a surplus in the treasury.
On motion, Messrs. w. C. Chase, Howard
L. Smith and B. C. Freeman were appointed
to go to Virginia and canvass in opposition to
DLngee and other colored Democrats, and to
invite them to joint discussions upon the
stump. The above gentlemen will start next
week.
The meeting, which was very large and en-
thusiastic, then adjourned.

Knights Templar.

Mount Calvary Commandery, No. 4, Knights
Templar, accompanied by the National band,
last night left theirAsylum, on Eleventh street
southwest, and marched to Union Bethel hall,
on NJ, between Sixteenth and Seventeenth
streets northwest, where they gave a grand
levee preparatory to their visit to Philadel
phia on the 18th instant, under the command
of Sir knight Solomon ]. johnson, Eminent
Commander; Samuel Archer, Generaliss imo;
Thornton A. Jackson, Captain General, with
30 knights in full uniform. The Grand Com
mandery was represented by the following
grand officers: Sir knights VIM. II. Thomas,
Passed Eminent Grand Commander; L. c.
Baily, Grand Commander; J. II. Burrell,
Passed Eminent Deputy Grand Commander;
Arthur Payne, Passed Eminent Commander;
G. II. johnson, Nathan Addison, G. IL. Lemar,
John W. Freeman, Passed Grand Captain
General, and others. The committee of ar
rangements, under Sir Knight Robert Tancii,
will spare no pains to make the excursion
worthy of the occasion. The hall was beauti-
fully decorated with evergreens, flowers and
the various emblems of Masonic Knighthood.
At the sound of the trumpet the knights fell
in line and the band played the "Templars'
Grand March," SirT. A. jackson then drilled
the COmmandery, carrying them through the
entire Templars' drill according to the Chicago
tactics, in which the Commandery displayed
great proficiency.
Mount Calvary and Simons Communicates,
of this city, will leave here on the 18th instant
by the Baltimore and Ohio railroad, on their
excursion to the Centennial, and no doubt they
will acquit themselves creditably during their
stay il Philadelphia.

ALEXANDRIA COUNTY, va.
Grand Republican Rally at Arlington

A grand rally Of Republicans of Alexandria
county was held at the last meeting of the
Hayes and Wheeler club at Arlington. The
meeting was called to order by Benz. Austin,
esq, president, and Henry L. Holmes, secre-
tary.
The president introduced the Hon. J. c.
O'Neal, candidate for Congress, whose speech
was temperate and argumentative, and the
manner in which he handled the issues in
volyed in the campaign is an assurance sf his
fitness and ability to fill the important position
for which he is candidate.
Spencer A. Coe, esq, discussed the proposed
amendments to the constitution of the State,
exposing their partisan character, and de-
nouncing them as class legislation and as a
Democratic expedient to disfranchise the
poorer classes, to the aggrandizemen of the
wealthier.
John B. syphax indorsed the remarks of Mr..
Coe and stated his endeavors, while member
of the Legislature, to defeat the amendments,
and pledged the support of the Republicans of
Alexandria county for Hayes and Wheeler, J.
C. O'Neal and against the amendments.
Hon. Louis Z. Payne, the chairman of the
State central committee, was introduced and
reviewed the action of the Democracy since
they held the majority in Congress, referred to
the number of investigations held without
HuulnS any bnlnS dSdlHbL Illc hcpuDllCaHo. LID
speech was forcIble and effective. 1t was re-
plete with scathing sarcasm and grim humor,
and the blows dealt the Democracy and their
candidate for the Presidency ELECTED much ap-
plause.
H. A. Whallon made an appeal for a turn
out of the full voting strength of the party.
He complimented the previous speakers. He
pictured the consequences that would ensue if
Tnden were elected, and urged the voters pres
ent TO do all they could to prevent it. His
speech was well received.
T. II. Sypherd, esq, said he did not intend
that his silence should be construed into even
an apparent want of zeal in the pending cam
paign. He had come to take his position in
the line and to stand hand to hand with the
foremost in pushing on the work. The only
concession made by the South was that
they accepted the situation. This they
had not done in good faith. Instead of accept
ing this the Democracy have persistently sought
by intimidation and the bullet, in South Caro-
lima and Mississippi, and by cunning political
manipulation in Virginia, to subvert it, and to
utterly destroy the negro as political element
unless they can have his ballot in their sup
port, and when we refuse to be turned aside
by minor issues, we are charged with reviving
the issues fthe war and Haunting the bloody
shirt in their faces. We Certainly shall so
fiaunt it so long as they continue to make it
bloody. 1t is for them to obliterate the issue
by accepting the situation in good faith.
1t is for them to shut out the sight of that
CORY garment by ceasing to bespatter it with
blood.
Speeches were also made by R. G. Cunning
lam, J. II. Robinson and others, after which
the meeting adjourned.
