of the Middleton building last evening,
Mr.. A. II. Weld, of Brandywine Hun
dred, presiding. .
Reports of Ward organizations and OF
delegates to the State Convention duly
elected were made from the First, Second
Sixth and Ninth Wards.
The Secretary then read number Of
letters he had recently received. The
first was from Capt. Augustus Scout, OF
SMYRNA Landing, Kent county who wrote
in response to a lie tier received from Mr..
B. b. Cooper, that he did not know OF any
live, out-spoken Greenb ack men whom he
could suggest as suitable candidates for
Governor and Representative in Con-
gress. Still he expressed hearty interest
in the movement.
The next letter was from Mr.. Brier-
wood, of Laurel, who suggested the
names of John r. McFee and John III.
Paynter, Esq, of Georgetown. Judge
Houston, of Dover and G.. W. S. Nichol-
son, Esq, of Seafo-d, as suitable candi-
dates for Congress.

Hd., one of the nominees for Represen-
tative, expressed his earnest sympathy
with the Greenback movement.
Wm. A. Hukill ofSt. Georges Hd., de-
clined the nomination for Representative
which had been accorded him as he was
not in sympathy with the Greenback
movement.
VIM. II. Clark, from tie same Hun
dred, who had been nominated for Levy
Court Commissioner declined because lie
could not fully endorse the platform plat
form.
A letter was read from Henry Rumor,
of Newport, to whom a letter intended
for John Rumor the candidate for Senator

mistake. He expressed hearty sympa-
thy for the movement and authorized the
party to use his name in any manner
they thought best for the party's interest.
Mr.. John G. Jackson of Mill Creek
Hd., expressed his sympathy with the
Greenback movement but declined 10
allow the use of his name for Represen-
tatve in Congress, as he never entertain
ed any ambition TO hold office.
After some desultory discussion,
which was brought out 10y the letters
just read, the meeting adjourned.

Not a Prominent Minister.

The Repubiican's account of bastardy
case yesterday, wherein negro woman
and preacher were the parties, stated
that the accused was "prominent
NJ ethodist minister" This statement
had the effect of casting suspicion upon
every Methodist minister in the city and
caused them so much annoyance that one
of the reverend gentlemen called at this
Office and requested refutation of the
false statement The status OF the accused
was correctly defined in the Gazette's re-
port, which clased him as a "well-known
local preacher He Is not prominent
