Ex-coNrEDERArE VETERANS.
An Organization of Those Now I'm the Dis
trtct Formed.

An OrK8nlZ3t10n oil those wow IN tne Dfs-
trict Formed.
The meeting of ex-confederate veterans held
at sheas Hall last night was largely attended
and much enthusiasm manifested. The
object Of the meeting was to perfect an organ
ization, which was spoken Of during the trip 70
Richmond to attend the exercises in connection
with the unwilling of the statue Of Gen. Lee.
Capt. E. W. Anderson presided last night, with
Mr.. A. G.. Holland acting as secretary. The
chair first called for the report Of the COM
mittee appointed at the last meeting to formu-
late some plan OF organization. That commit
tee was composed Of Maj. Ii. L. Bscoe Leigh
Robinson, Thomas ]. Luttreil, Col. Horbach.
William Hsmm. A. G. Holland and Capt. John
y. Tucker. Chairman Robinson read the re-
port which was in the form of constitution,
and said that the committee had thought it
best TO call the organization an association in
stead Of q camp Another feature of the re-
port, he said was that il provided for assisting
those who had TO fight an adverse battle.
Meritorious men who are willing, but hardly
able to work, he said. are constantly about the
streets looking for aid.
One of the veterans present speaking on the
benevolent provisions, said he was glad that
that had been made feature of the association
and concluded his remarks by saying that there
were many persons who were too proud to
beg. too honest to steal" Applause. The
clause naming the organization an association
instead of a camp evoked some discussion, but
the action Of the committee was sustained and
the name. The Association of ex-Confederate
Veterans of Washington. ID. c." was adopted.
One gentleman present thought it would be
well TO call the organization a camp and name
it after some general, for instance, Gen. Joseph
Z. Johnston, who is about nearing his end.
The mention of Gen. Johnstons name elected
applause.
The object of the association. as set out in
the constitution, is the formation of acquaint-
ance and friendship between those who have
shared the peril and should share the adversely
of war, the perpetuation CT ties. cemented by
misfortune. and the relief, far as practicable,
of the disabled and deserving.
Faithful service in the army or navy of the
so-called confederate states, and a character
since that time which has not brought re-
proach thereon. makes person eligible to
membership.
January 10. Gen. Lees birthday, was the
date fixed for the annual election of officers
after the first election, which will occur on the
25th of this month.
The entire constitution reported by the COM
mittee, with few amendments, was adopted,
and vote Of thanks was extended to the com
mIttee for their labors. After adjournment a
number paid their initiation fee and became
members of the association.

sembly chamber was scene of great excite
ment Tuesday evening during the final session of
the house of representatives. The report Of
the committee which investigated the metro
politan police system. created for the purpose
Of enforcing the prohibition law, began the
excitement. The galleries Kissed, the Farm

groaned. Elder demanded that the lobby and
galleries be cleared. The kissing, shouting and
groaning continued. and the chair unable to
restore order, said that he would give up the
chamber to the voice of the mob The SER
geant-at-arms and doorkeepers attempted to
clear the Hobbies, and several lively encounters
took place. Several senators who we're wit

sumed the chair, and said that he was ashamed
OF his conduct and his motion to close debate,
and appealed to all present to maintain order
Quiet was then restored, and Speaker Elders

Another MIDDLE in Prospect.

A special to the New York Sun from Danbury,
Conn.,, says: Mr.. Bulkeiy has ordered special
election in the Danbury probate district to fill
the vacancy which the death Of Judge Taylor
caused. The election will be held March -.
The democrats will stay away from the polls
and the republicans will have the field to them
selves. The democrats will appeal to the courts
to have the republican judge restrained from
taking possession of the Office on the ground
that his election is invalid. and Of course that
will involve a decision as to Bulkely's
authority to order the election.
