CITY INTELLIGENCE.
trOB ADDITIONAL LOCAL ITCMS SKI OUTSIPI PAOBff
Political. An exceedingly large and en
tbaslRtic moellutc of tlie L'ulon Kcpubllcan
citizens of tbe First ward a.ferat!ed la-it even
ing, at the corner of Moyamer tvg avenue and
Greenwich elreet, to participate In a banner
raielnp. The banner la a very larr?e and haud
rome one, and contains mcdaliim portraits of
Grant, Colfar, and Tyniiale, and tho imnies of
the local nominee. ftie stHud wai decorated
With the national en.ien aurt bunting, and huni
with lamps and torchc?, while a larpe bonfire
thiew a brilliant liptat oyer the eoene. Tue
meeting organized by electing a President L. B.
lhonia.
Hon. Charles O'Neill was the flrt speaker. In
the course of his rem irks he rcfeircd to tue
unnner juut raised, and hoped that when the
election i-bull have ended his hearers will have
marched to vlc'ory nnder that banner. Tne Rind
I'dlngs from Mn'ne and Vermont Is sufficient to
rrake the O.d Keystone State roll up a ltepiib
Jican nialority of 23,000 In October, and the
ictoiy tucn obtained will be bat the prelude of
one more overwhelming lu November, nuder the
leader? hip of General Grunt.
Never before has there been so pood a man on
the Republican ticket as General Grant; and he
doubted not that, at the exp'ratlon of hit Presi
dential term, he will be found to be worthy ot a
position aniong tho greatest Ltatesmea of the
country and t'ie pte. It is said by the Democracy
tbnt Grant is not a statesniHU, though he may
be called a soldier. But Andrew Jackson was a
loldicr, and developed, aiter his election, into a
statesman? and It he had been in the Presiden
tial cha'r instead of Uuchanac, there would have
been no war. Alonr with Grant we have
Sc'uusler Colfax, the most emincn: statesman of
the West a man ot the sternest integrity and
largest ability, and tue?e lorin a combination
never before equalled.
Jlr. Ulalr did not want Grant nominated; lie
did not like the mtiitpry chie.tain of the North
to become President, lie knew him, aud as
the iriend of Mr. Seymour and the Rebels, he
did not want bim nominated, as he was aware
that that wes equivalent to an election. Ho
then maintained that all the attacks of the
Democrats upon the Re publicans were made
simply to draw aside the attention of the peop'e
from the true issues at stake, the great and vital
irsne ot peace under Grant, or war and rebellion
under Seymour.
Mr. O'Neill's remarks were prently applauded,
tind evidently loucned the understandings of his
hearer.
. lion. William B. Mann was the next speaker,
and his appearance was greeted with cheers,
lie prefaced his remarks with an allusion to the
Biipport he had always received at the hands of
the Kepubl'cans of the First ward, aud assured
his bearers that so lor a; as he bad lite he could
never lereet it. He then continued: If this
canvass was not a Lationnl one, but if the elec
tion wns to bo settled simply upon local issues,
ths.citizeus of Philadelphia would be bound by
duty to elect the nominees of the Kepublicuu
party.
1 he Democrats can find no tangible cause out
of which to mauulacture politicn capital, and
they result to the most nit-entile efforts to I
advance tneir cause; as wuuess me charge ot
reelect of duty on the part of the authorities
and officers of the city in cot arresting the mur
oerer of Mary Mohrmai n when nil the evidence
is directly opposed to tho assertion. (He wus
here interrupted by the pascape of the Berry
Club of the Second ward.) lie then resumed.
eaviDe, that no man who for years past had
watched the working of our detective system
could withhold his testimony of its perfectuess.
He then illustrated the assertion by many in
stances, particularly ot the arrest of Autoiue
Probst. How mean, then, is it for these people
to charge reruiei-nesti of duty ou their officers!
He then relerred to the naturalization con
ducted by the Democrats, asserting tha they
Intend to carry the election by such means, and
are buying up men like sbecp. We are entered
to support Grant and Colfax, but some are going
' to support Beymoar aud Blair. I should lite to
nsk such an oto what he expects to gain by it.
Why, Blair says, "War, war to the knl.e, and
the kuite to the hilt." Blair means by war to
return all to the Rebels that they lost by the
war. Such are the words of Hampton and For
rest, l'orrsst, ot Fort Pillow, who, when a
mulatto was brouaht before him, a prisoner ot
war, asked him what he was doing tnere, and
when he replied he was a servant oi.' an officer of
a Western regiment, drew his revolver, and,
saying "we want no such men as you here," blew
out his brains. And these are tue men who are
to pet all they have lost.
They will get back 6lavery; and how?
Eeward issued a proclamation stating that the
requisite threc-fourtus of the States had adopted
the fourteenth article of amendment ot the
Constitution. Two States have withdrawn their
consent. Now, elect Seymour, and you have a
Secretary of State of Southern sjinpathies, and
another proclamation stating that the Rrilole is
not adopted by the requisite three-lourths, and
slavery will be aaain an institution in the and.
The meeting was also addressed by William
Moran and others.
One of the largest Grant and Colfax meet
ings of the campaign whs held last evening at
tbe N. W. corner ot Third and Queen streets, in
the Third Ward. The enthusiasm was very
great, and the speeches were listened to wiih
deep attention. A large stand was erected,
which was protusely decorated with tri colored
bunting and American flairs. A larere banner
was stretched across the street, containing the
names of Grant and Colfax, Berry and the whole
Republican ticket. A fine band ot music was
present, and a number of popular and patriotic
airs were played during the eveuiig. Tne
entire street was blocked up with sturdy Re
publicans, and a brilliant bonfire illumined the
laces of all present.
A number of residences In the neighborhood
were brilliantly illuimuated, and the meeting
was a decided sucecis in every particular.
About the time the meeting was called to order,
a Republican procession, composed ot the
Campaign Club of the First ward. Tanners'
Club, Berry Campaign Club, and Berry Rail
(Splitters, marched through the etrect, amid
much cheering. Tbe meeting was called to
order by Mr. Joseph Heritage, who nominated
for Piesldent, Kliab Ward, M. D.
The first speaker was Mr. William Moran. and
he was followed by Benjamin Ii. Berry, Esq.,
who was received with cheers. He said:
The workingmeh ot this district should be
more interested in my election than anybody
else, for the very rea-ou that their interest has
Lven utelecled at the Navy Yard, Ar.-euul, and
all other places ot public enioloymenu Por
tions have been farmed out to em til politicUus,
to the disadvantage of our ,old South wark
citizens. Men whom we scarcely know have
had the best places: the matter ot qualiticuiou
was not considered, but it was the price of their
corrupt woik at the election pol's. We would
have had at work now ten ibouaud men at the
rew Navy Yard were It not for your present
Representative, Mr. Randall, who wanted no
appropriation for the yard unless it could be
controlled in his interest; Congress would have
lueu willing, us I well know, for l was at Wash
ington duniig the st-hsion, when every interest
was made in ibat direction, aid we could hive
succeeded if ike party arrangements bad not
iLterfeied. Now. my friends the man wuo
would allow millions of dollars tj pass
affay from jour honest labor, merely
becuute he could not con'rol the pa-
trocaee, Is certainly not tbe man jou want
to represent you. -Recollect that the next
oil ministration will be ours. It will not be
prescriptive, it will have nobler aim, it will
give thousands of men employment through
th vard. arsenal, and other public works. 1
will he vour representative m jst assuredly, and
that by jour honest votes, but even if sued
shnniii nm te ihe ease, vou all know that Mr.
Randall will be powerless lu Geuoral tiraui's
administration 10 serve jou even to a laborer's
position in the Navy Yard. I will st ill represent
tii nd unard Tour Interest, aud take go )dcnre
that the Pbiladoluhla naval station, wiHi its
arsenal and public works, (.nail have its full share
ot the Dublicputronuge. Our workmen have no
unr.eriois: that tuct will be admitted at Wash
trxrton. and full iuslice rendered us. so now vou
can all see the advantage to yourselvejof falling
in our lines and joining a party which has forl's
vitulitv the best livlug Democrats of tbe old
school, in common with other patriots as its
ViianihfrB.
Mr. Henry Bruner followed Mr. Berry. lie
said tint he was formerly a Democrat, but
what Is left of the party now Is only the rag-tag
nd bobtail of tbe community. In the first
place the Democratic party was opposed to the
war; in the werond place they were opposed to
greenbacks. They are now a shinplaster Demo
cracy, and want to use shinpla,ters to pay the
intere3t on the national debt. He was lu favor
of a return to specie payments as much as any
Democrat when the proper time came, but he
was also In lavor of sustaining the honor of the
country by paying the 1utetet on the national
bonds in gold, as Ihc Government during
the time of its ereat tilul had proml ed to do.
The speaker proceeded then to analyze the po
litical character of Pal mou P. Chase, ani spoke
Ironically of the consistency ol Beyaioar. The
pesker was willing to meet, in open debate,
any Democrat, and discuss before the people the
political issues of tbe day. Mr. Kruur closed
with tbe recital of several amusing euccdotes of
prominent toutberu Rebels aud the negro popu
lation ot the Soutb.
He was followed by the Hon. Chsrles O'Neill,
who made a short though telling speech, which
whs received with great eulhesinsm. Other
peakers followed, and the meeting adjourned
with cheers (or Grant, Coltax, and llerry.
A luge meeting of the Republican citizens
of the Twentieth ward was held last evening, at
tbe corner of Tenth street and Girard avenue,
under the auspices of the "Boys in Blue." The
speakers' stand was erected upon an open lot,
and was quite tastefully ornamented with rlais
aud lantercs. Several campaign duos and com
panies of "Boys in Blue" came upon tbe grouud
duiing the evening. At 8 o'clock the meeting
was organized by tho election of thefollowiug
officers? 1 .csldent Colonel A. W. Worrell.
Vlce-I residents Major David Kalcy, Captain
Hairy Robinson. Captain Thomas Ford. Captain
Cconre D. Stroud, Caplaiu William Kocherspar

Private Harry Munson. Private David Bruner
Secretaries Lieutenant A. II. Saurnan, Lieu
tenant A. C. Boutbwick, Lieutenant George W
James, bereeaut G. Waterhouse, Private John
Diembaogb, Private Samuel Fish.
Captain A. M. K, Stoirle was introduced as
tbe tirtt speaker. He beau his remarks by
alluding to the words of General Grant "We
will move upon the enemy's works" and
applied them to the onslaught of the Republican
upon the Democratic party. He then reviewed
tbe course of tbe Democratic party during the
Rebellion, and showed up the manner in which
it sympathized with and aided the Rebels. He
alluded to the New York Convention, cLarglng
it with the eudeavor to undo all that had been
done during the war to nullify the results of
the conflict. He satd that the Democratic narty
cared not tor the blood shed by the brave "Boys
in Blue," aud that it consequently should
not receive their pupport at the polls. Cap
tain Stortie was followed in en eloquent and
stirring speech by Colonel William T. Forbes,
who, utter hastening over the circumstances of
tbe war, and averting that the Republican
party had achieved our victory in it, alluded to
tbe efforts of the Democrats to repudiate the
debt contracted in defense ot the nitlou. He
said that tbe greater portion of the bonds were
in the hands of the poor, and that their repu
diation would not affect the wealthy, but would
fall with heavy weight upon the laboring class.
He closed with au appeal to Irs bearers to do
their whole duty in the approaching election,
so that the de'enders ot tbe nation might re
ceive tbe full meed of their valor, and that the
poor might not be ruined by repudiation. He
was loudly applauded. General Joshua T. Oweu
was then introduced. He bepan his remarks by
saying that the Twentieth Ward ought to have
a laree Republican maioilty in this election:
that it should not permit the Democrats to carry
it by any, even a Email, excess of vjtes. He
ieterred to tue inconsistency ot tue l'emocratic
polxy, during the war for peace, and now
during peace for war. Wo have a Congress
which has passed certain laws, Known a Re
construction laws. These the Democrats oppose.
They were enacted for the protection ot loyal
citizens acd tbe restoration of the Rebel Slates,
and should be respected and carried into exe
cution. The Republican party, which saved the
life ot the nation, and made these laws is enti
tled to and will have them obeyed. We con
quered a peace, and will now enjoy all itslegiti-n-Pte
results. The General concluded by
soliciting the support of alibis bearers for ail
tbe candidates on the ticket. He 6ud they
Fhould not "fctauh," but vo:e the whole ticket.
Mr. William Nicholson then came forard and
delivered a brief aJdiess. The meeting then
adjourned.
The overwhelming Republican sentiment of
tbe Congressional district of Chesio:-, Montgo
mery, and Delaware was lairiy represented yes
terday in the great eatheriug at While Hall,
at outgomery county, xnt nonest ana intelligent
yeomanry ot the surrouudiug cojntry, appreci
ating the magnitude ot the present crisis, and
anxious to take part in the graud struggle lor
tue unity and nouor or ine nation, came upon
the grouud at an early hour in lan;e numbers.
Vehicles ot all tizes and descriptions were
brought into lequisition a means ot conveyance
to the place of meeting. The meeting wns held
in tbe centre of a large area adjacent to the
railroadstation, a large stand, neatly decorated
with the i ational colors, having been raised for
the accommodation ot the speakers. Ia frout oi
this stand tbe audience gatheied with rows ot
vehicles in a semi-circular order ou the outer
edge of the meeting. A fine bund of music added
something to the pleasantness of the occasion.
At ii o'clock Mr. John It. vvmtney, attcr
ome appropriate remark', nominated Joseph
B. TowLteud, Etq., as Chairman. General Loiil
Wagner, ex-Governor Pollock, A. Wilaou Hens
zey, and others delivered addresses. During the
evening one of tbe finest torchlight processions
ever witnessed in Montgomery county too

panyFof the Campaign Club of Philadelphia,
the clubs of the Tenth, Twentieth, and Tweaty-
rourih wards, tne organizations ot tne coys in
Blue of Montgomery county, and a mouter
delegation Irom Delaware county. The display
was of tbe most brilliant description. Caval
cades of splendidly equipped horsemen formed
a new feature of the turnout, 'lbe number of
men in line probably exceeded twelve hundred.
At 8 o'clock the meeting was reconvened.
Hon. Charlea H. Stinson, present 8enator from
the district of Chester and Montgomery, was
the brkt tpeaker. His speech was an able re
view of the falsity and sycophancy ct Demo
cratic pro'essions, and a withering denunciation
of tte herebies ot that parly. He impressed
upon bis bearers the deplorable results of
Democratic success, and earnestly urM upon
iheir attention the imperative necessity and
importance of electing General Grant aud
ensuring the triumph of the recous'rucliou
policy. He wa followed by Hon. Ja-inejh.
Campbell in a telling speech.
Tub Assessments. The following letter has
been written by District Attorney jlnn with
refeience to the all-importaut subject ot assess
ment: Tte act of June 13, 1840 (P. L. 1840, page 683),
section 5, provided that the "Assessors snail at
any time ten days betore the second Tuesday of
October in each year, on the personal applica
tion of any claiming to be assessed withiu their
proper ward, township, Incorporated dlswic, or
borough, or claiming a right to vote theieiu, as
being between the aije of 21 and 22 year-", aud
having resided in the State oue year, enter tn
ntm.e of 6uch pei eon upon the said list iu their
office or posbesbioo."
This aut was changed by a iolnt resolution of
the Legislature, passed April 20, 1841 (sen p. L.
1844, page 604 ). It was resolved, "That in lieu
of the duties imposed by the tilth section ot an
ct of the General Assembly, paused Juuo 13,
140. unon the as-sesjor ot the several wards
bUO tOwnBUipo OI IUO nu i tuuuiv ui rum-
uel)bia, it shall be tbe duty ol the said assessors,
In conjunction with tbe inspectors of the elec
tion in each aud every warJ, to meet nTeen
oajs previous to tbe day of the treueral elecii n,
st the place for boldina the ward election, fur he
purpose of adding to tbe list of taxable inuibt
tai.ts prepared by the assessor the names ol such
citizens as are constitutionally qualified to vo'e,
and who may buve moved into their respective
wards after the assessment, or who may have
been omitted by the assesroi; aud said assessors
aud inspectors shall remain in session from 3
o'clock P. M. UHtil 9 o'clock P. M.
An act was passed April 25, 1851 (P. L. 1851,
paue 725), section 5, making it the duty of tbe
officers of the election to make extra assessment
Instead oi the assessors. The act reads thus;
"That hereafter the idpe and Inspectors of
sot h precinct or ward nbail make the additional
tsessment as cow provided by law." This was
epatn changed by act of February 2, 1854 (see
Purdon's Digest, page 944, section 94), which
says: "Tlie duty ot making extra assessment
now enjoined by law upon the oflic -Mof the
election, shall be exclusively performed by the
BsfeMrrx. Tbe asscssoie of eacn ward shall
meet for that purpose on the thirleeuta day
pnor to the second Tuesday of October, an
nually, and continue their session from 1 o'clock
P. M. to 10 o'clock P. 1). each day. for three
eucrecMve Judicial days, and public notice o the
time and place thereof shall be given by the
City Commissioners."
The number of hours for sitting was changed
by act ppproved February 14, 18G7, as fellows:
"That heteafter the sessions of tbe assessors of
each ward of the city of Philadelphia, for the
purpose of making extra assessments (under
the (eventeenth section of the act of which this
is a supplement), shall comtne:ice at 10 o'clock
A. M. and continue until 7 o'clock P. M., and so
much of any law as is Inconsistent beewHti
shall be and is hereby repealed." (P. U 18G7,
pace 200.)
It will be seen that while the officers to
T'Crlorm those duVn have been changed, and the
time of their performance also, no change
whatever has been made in fie duties to ot done.
The act of April 2H, 1h44, applyiLg exclasively
to Philadelphia, distinctly deUnes the duties of
the officers who are to make the extra assess
ments. They ere to "add to the list of taxable
inhabitants prepared by the assessor tbe n-imes
ot tucb citizens as are constitutionally qualified
to vote, aud who have movt d into their respec
tive wards after tho assessment, or who may
have been omitted by the assessor."
The act ot 1851, April 25, directs that this duty
shall be performed by the judge and inspector
ol puch ward or precinct.
The act of 1p54 directs that this duty shall be
performed exclusively by the assessors.
Subsequent legislation changes only the time
of perlornilng these duties.
Tbe assessors, therelore, when making the
additional asscsmcnts, are to add to the list
only the names ot tucb citizens who are con
stitutionally qualified to vote, who have moved
into tbe warn or precinct after the assessment,
or who have been omitted by the assessor; and
I am clearly of opinion that they should not add
to the list the name of any person who is not a
citizen of tbe United States aud of the State of
Pennsylvania.
Persons not naturalized are not entitled to be
placed on taid list.
Casualties. Amanslxty-fonr years of age,

Dickey, Republican candidate for Congress from
this district.
A most disgraceful affair occurred in tho after
noon. While the meeting was being held a band of
several hundred men, members ot the opposition
party, all nrmed with clubs, attacked and beat in
discriminately every person they found wearing any
badge indicicating attachment to the Republican
party.
Tho attack lasted for upwards of an hour, during
which a large number of persons were seriously
wounded. Although tho Mayor had employed a
largo number of special policemen to assist the re
gular force to preserve order during tho meeting,
these otlicers failed to stop tho roughs in their
bloody work. Stones were freely used, and tho
windows of all tho business places iuseveralsquares
had to be closed to prevent tho glasses from being
broken.
