t. a. = FAMILY POLITICAL DISTuRBANCE.--
There seems to be, a considerable. disturb
(3ance among our colored brethren in politl-
cal matters. dThe following communication
from a;colored friend will throw some light
on the disturbance :l1.I .ts,%
. ",We, the Republican voters Of Madison
Ward, do ask you to publish this card for
the benefit OF the people: There has been a
club formed on Cary; street, at James Scotts
barber-shop, called the Hayes and Wheeler
Campaign Club, numbering about seventy
five or eighty men, and we sincerely be-
lieye it to be as much in the interest OF Til
den and Hendricks as Hayes and Wheeler,
for at four meetings held by that club Mr..
Austin Burrell had been unanimously en-
dorsed for president of Madison Ward, and
Monday night, in the organization Of Madl-
son Ward, Mr.. Burrell was declared elected
on the first ballot; after which squad OF
the Porter men arrived at the hall, and on
entering, inquired what action the meet
ing had taken; and it was announced
that Mr.. Austin Burrell had been
elected president of the ward; and
Immediately, on motion Of John G.
Tilman, and seconded by Charles Barrett, it
was agreed to reconsider the first ballot,
and Mr.. Burrell was again placed up for
election, and he Immediately arose and de-
clined, delivering his claims to Mr. john
Divine, respectable white voter; and Will
liam E. Jackson, who is not voter OF this
city, but voter OF Dinwiddie county, was
put up by the Porter forces against him;
but the Porter forces were so strong that
they elected him by forty-five majority, who
expected to go to the Congressional Nomi-
mating Convention in favor OF Charles Fl.
Porter. We have always accused the Gus
tom-honse ring Of doing dirty work, but
we think Scott and Jackson are equally rs
dirty, for after the meeting broke the band
of Modocs retired to James Scott's, on Cary
street, where they were refreshed with
demiiohn OF rot-gut and watermelons for
electing Jackson president OF Madison
Ward ; and we do ask OF the voters OF Madl-
son Ward, is it legal for man who is voter
in the county Of DinWiddie, and who has
never voted in this city, to come here and
control the Republican voters OF Madison
Ward? We say il they submit to this we
had better go and join Dungee's force and
we further ask every Republican voter OF
this ward to assemble, and II this be the
case with the Hayes and Wheeler Club, we
certainly ought to reform, and we shall re-
form; and we think that unless the Repub-
licans nominate native OF virginia 1or
Congress we had better let Gilbert c. Wal
ker 60 10 congress Ifou ILLS ustiict, toi
one carpet-bagger sas bad as another. For
the City Central Committee Mr. Russell re-
ceived 81 votes, Mr.. r. A. Paul 80, and DIR.
Jeffries II, and simply because they would
not be instructed they were declared not
elected, and then they elected Charles JAR
ret, by the same force, by SO votes, James
Scott by 4s votes, and Mr.. McLeyy were
endorsed by the whole house. And in Gods
name we ask are not you tired Of rings and
cliques? If you all are, we ask you to as,
semble and elect voter OF Madion Ward
