ACTION OF REPUBLICANS.
There was a meeting of Republicans at

No 1916 Hull Street, last night, when a
resolution was adopted condemning the
chairman OF the Republican Committee in
the city, negro named John Hall, for
being derelict to his duty in not having
called a meeting relative TO the post
Office situation.
The resolution is very long, and IS
served on Chairman Hall. who is alleged
to have violated his trust and broken
his faith with the party. It is charged
that supposed signatures to some of the
petitions in behalf OF candidates for the
postoffice are not genuine

Charles Watson (colored) and taking lib
critics with his wife. Mary E. Watson.
Mr.. Cobb was arrested yesterday morn
ing by Officer Wright on complaint of
Watson, who later swore out a warrant,
charging the man with the above offense.
Mr.. Cobb is a man of probably thirty
five years and Of good appearance. He
denies the charge.
Before Mayor Maurice in Police Court
yesterday there appeared a long and
large docket. Arthur Scott ais Bob Fly
(coloreo), captured after a warrant has
been standing against him for some time
with being implicated in the robbery of
the home of Mr.. BEDFORD some months
ago, was given twelve months In tail
with his partner. Jim Brown, who was
sentenced at the time.
Walter and Mary Dickerson. husband
and wife, are not on friendly terms and
Mary took it into ner head to chastise
her husband on the public street Satur-
day night. She was this morning fined
$3.50 and costs.
Lucy Braxton said Mary Jones poured
hot water on the back of a bovine ami
NAL. the property Of the said Lucy. For
creating disturbance Mary was fined
$3.50.
Richard saddard struck J. D. Glass
and paid $50 for II.
George Ferguson, a young white man,
has had warrant against him for some
time for creating a disturbance and
cursing J. G.. Godscy. MIR. Godsey yester-
day had relented and told many
things about George being drunk at the
time, but there was sufficient evidence
for the Mayor TO tax him IS. Then that
inYincible memory of Officer Wright
came into play, and from beneath a lot
OF books he found a charge Of shoot
ing crap against George. On this he
also confessed and paid 81.
