WILL NOT CONSOLIDATE.
Termination of Consultation Between
the Patriotic Societies.

tnc Fatf1Ot1C SOC1et1e9.
The proposed and expected consolidation
of the Society of the Sons Of the Revolu-
tion and the Society of the Sons Of the
American Revolution can now be regarded
only in the light of most remote possi-
bility. Last spring when the two societies
held their general meetings resolutions were
adopted at both creating committees for
the purpose Of merging the two organiza-
tions into one, and thus forming one great
organization, which should be in every way
more powerful for the advancement Of the
purposes which underlie the principles of
both. 1t appears, however, that after these
committees were formed and the question
Of a basis upon which members Of the orig
inal society could continue as members of
the new one began to be considered,
strenuous objections, although technical
to degree, were raised by the rep
resentatives Of the Sons OF the Rev
olution. The result is that all negotia-
tions are now at an end. There is general
regret among the members of both socie
ties at this unfortunate termination of the
affair, and 1t Is not improbable that an eff
fort will be made in the near future to con-
ciliate the differences, although 1t is gen.
orally admitted that this will be very diff
cult to accomplish.
The first copies of the Register Of the
Sons of the American Revolution, District
OF Columbia Commandery, have been re-
oeived in Washington. The book is very
handsomely gotten up in light drab board
covers with black lettering and Ornamental
tion. and the typographical work through
out Is worthy of remark for it's excellence.
The volume contains a frontispiece an
excellent steel engraving of the late DR.. G:
Brown Goode who was long the beloved
president of the society, and to whose de-
voted efforts In its behalf SO much of Its
success and prosperity has been due. The
pages contain sketches Of antecedents of
the members Of the District society and

COlOred Pension Claimants to Form
an Organizations.


an Organization.
1t has been decided to hold meeting of
cClored citizens at Providence Baptist
Church, on G street between Sd and "A
streets southwest, next Wednesday evening
for the purpose of forming uLion aid as
socation of quartermaster and commisSary
employees of the late war. The object of
the association is to petition Congress to
pass an act for the refunding of the s. per
month taken off of the salaries of all per-
sons who went or were drafted into the
service as slaves during said war, the said
sum being deducted as a contraband fee.
After January 3, 1853, under proclamation
OF the President, all persons were declared
flee, but this deduction still went on to the
close of the war, SO far as this class OF
persons were concerned. The association
will ascertain so far as possible the number
and amount of all such just claims of all
persons interested, and it will further seek
to ascertain the whereabouts of all such
persons. their widows, children, orphans or
such other persons would be justly en-
titled to such arrears or unpaid claims.

day the dog licenses that have been Issued during
the year expire and that day occurs the great
est rush OF people anxious to pay the annual y

Of the society. and various other pretexts sought
to pass the barrier. but without avail.
Mr.. Iialnes said that the indications showed that
there would be a large increase this year COM
pared with other years. In the number OF dog

said. be some time before anything like an accurate
