Morrison, of the Wilmington Light Infantry, was elect ed Secretary. The Secretary read the voles of the several companies , when, owing to the fact that Company E was not repre sented, the meeting adjourned until 3 o'clock p. m. so as to give the, absent oompany time to either send a repre sentative or a proxy. The meeting re-assembled at tne hour designated and, after reading of the minutes of the morning session, a telegram was read from the captain of Company E, requesting Maj.Campbell, to cast the vote of that company. Nominations being then in order Maj. Campbell named First Lieutenant W. C. Jones, of the Wilmington Light Infantry, for the position of Colonel Mr. A. N. -Ootid. This individual, who was the subject of some police action yesterday morn ine. seems to have taken umbraze at our report of the proceedings in his case, and we learn tha' be denounced that portion of it which stated that he re ceived a dispatch yesterday morning from Toronto, the contents of which were known only lo himse'.f, as abso" lately false. Now, Mr. Dodd did send a dispatch to Toronto on cdnesday nisrht. after he was arrested, as did also Capt. Brock, our Chief of Police At about 9 o'clock yesterday morn ing Capt. Brock took a dispatch from the telezraDh office here and delivered it unopened to Dodd, to whom was addressed. Capt. Brock knew nethirfg of the contents of that dispatch further than as they were stated to him by Dodd. We endeavor to make all our reports correct, and we carefully avoid doing injustice to any man, and especially in the case of a stranger who gets into a difficulty in our midst. In this case we were careful to avoid jsay ing anything to place Mr. Dodd in a false position. We said nothing to which he had the least cause to take exceptions, but what, we did say was absolutely true and we can prove our assertions by a well known and highly respected official of this city, whatever Mr. Dodd may say to the contrary notwithstanding.
