Another CoIored Meeting.


coLoRED REPUBLICANS OF THE sIxTH WARD
IN ooUNou-ADDREssEs BIZ SEVERAL
SPEAKERS.
Quite large meeting of colored citizens
was held, last evening, at National Hall,
9th and Walnut Sts,, about hundred being
present. Joseph G.. Walker was the NOV
ing spirit in having the meeting called.
Andrew r. Henry presided, s. V. b. Oarty
acted as Secretary. MIR. Henry explained
that the object of the meeting was two
fold to create an executive committee Of
five persons for the Sixth Ward, to see to
assessments, hereafter, &c, and to consid-
or the relative arguments in favor of
Messrs. Scott and Hastings as delegates to
Cincinnati. The Chair also announced
that each speaker would be limited to ten
minutes.
The discussion was then opened by Jos.
G. Walker, who had read by the Secretary
the CoNrMERCIAL's report of the 7th Ward
meeting. de pronounced many state
ments in the report untrue, and said he
could prove them 80, but upon calling upon
Levi j. Coppin, that gentlemen failed him
and rather supported the COMMERCIAL,
while others present did so quite decidedly,
SO that Joseph got no farther than his own
denial, which amounted to nothing. The
chair suggested to hum that at any rate his
| ideas about Jl6 OOMMEhClAl . IopOIb WSAo
not germane to the object of the meeting,
and that he must come to the point.
Further addresses were made by Moses
Murray, Of the 5th Ward; W. H. Clayton,
of the Sd; and Levi J. Coppin, Of the 7th.
Mr.. Murray was in favor of Mr.. Hastings,
and gave his reasous Clayton devoted his
attention more to national questions, eulo-
elzlng Messrs Blaine and Brstow; and Mr..
Coppin advocated Mr.. Scotts election.
Lewis P. B. Henry, of the 9Th Ward, made
an animated and eloquent address, i'll favor
of MIR. Hastings, and was followed by
Dan Hamilton, who shed num-
ber of crocodile tears over the ex
posure by the COMMERCIAL OF hii
false charges against Mr.. Hastings, and ga
that number of persons who had formerl.
bought shad of him now would not do 30
on account of his making such charges
He thought, however, that he might as wei
be hung for an old sheep as lamb, ant
started out again on the same old track, bu
, was promptly answered by P. S. Blake an
: others.
d Peter S. Blake made an effective address
T favoring Mr. Hastings and after further re
J, marks by Murray, Clayton, and others, th
: speaking closed with speech by Williar
Grinnage, of the 9TH Ward who was yer
attentiYely listened to. He took .stron
ground i'll favor of Mr.. Hastings, and as
, has heretofore taken little part in politics
his address was regarded as very signli
cant.

AVOIDING THE oPENING PREss-EURoPEAF
vIsIToRs
The New York correspondent of the
Philadelphia Ledger writes The hotels
continue to show large accessions of peo-
pie en- route to Philadelphia, especially
from New England and the Canadas. New
York itself Will hardly begin to move en-
masse until tomorrow. The sudden heat
of the weather has more or less restrain
ing influence, but the people will get
used to that. A little army Of journalists
have gone on in advance, 80 that II the
Exhibition is not properly presented to the
world at large it will not be for any lack OF
| historians. A large number of visitors from
foreign countries, arriving here by steam
ers within the past few days, will not 60 on
until after the Inauguration, being deslrous
of avoiding the excitement of the hrst two
or three days. This class have taken up
their hotel quarters here up to Saturday
next after that they will be in Philadel'
phia. The city politicians, wbo
are never behind on great occa.
sions, will be largely represented
at the opening, and among the crowd, 1t IL
understood, will be one or two prominent
Presidential candidates from this quarter,
Excursions of various societies will be IL
order throughout the summer, and, among
the rest, the Sunday schools will take pro.
minent part. Arrangements are already
making for some OF these, and the example
will doubtless be followed by the day schools
as Saturday can easily be utilized for th'
purpose, without interfering with regula
studies.

GAME ARRANGED BETWEEN THE TWO QUICK
STEP oLUBs-PosTPoNEMENT, TO-DAY.
The amateur Quickstep club has sent
second challenge to the professional Quick
steps, which was accepted at a meeting of
the latter, held last evening. This morh-
ing, acting Manager Geary, on the part of
the challenging party, met with Manager
Mullen and arranged the first of
series of seven games to be played for the
championship. This game will be played
on the Adams street grounds, on Saturday
afternoon next. The arrangement was
made on the basis of an agreement to de-
! duct all expenses from gate receipts and
divide the remainder equally between the
two clubs.
The game between the amateur Quick

JUDGE WoorTEG CHARGES THE JURr-BEGIE-
MING OF THE TRIALS.
Special 10 the Commercial.
New CASTLE, May Court opened, this
morning, at 10 o'clock, judges Wootten and
Houston on the bench. The Grand Jury
list was then called and sworn, Evan C.

the Court substantially as follows
Gentlemen of the Grand Jury:
1t has not been customary, for many
years, for the Court to deliver long writ
ten charge, as formerly. Our Revised
Code has been 30 we'll arranged and the laws
so classified that this necessity has been
superseded. At the present term, I am
happy to say for the credit of New CASTLE
County, there are no capital felonies. Most
of the business that will fall under your
notice is of a trlfling nature, such as lar
cenies, assaults and batteries, and illegal
sale of intoxicating liquors.
The Court here called the attention of
| the Grand Jury to the provision of the Re-
vised Code concerning crimes and misde-
meanors, and also to the act regulating the
sale of intoxicating liquors, and remarked
| that whether this law was wise or not was
not for the Court to say, but it was the law
of the State and while it was such it was
the duty of those concerned to obey it, and
especially those who are granted licenses.
The Grand Jury then retired to their
room.
The first case called was State Us. Robert
Lansing-g ambling The defendant not
being taken, the State retired the case.
