Meeting ofthe Third Ward Demo- j cratic Club. Theie was quite a large attendance at he meeting of the Third Ward Club, at Mund's Hall, last evening. The object of he meeting, as s'ated by the President, L. H. Bowden, Esq., after the meeting had been called to order, was for the purpose of reorganizing forTEe ensuing campaign. Mr. Bowden then tendered his resignation, which was, on motion, accepted, and the election cf a successor declared in otder. Mr. W. J. Yopp, and Capt. R. F. Lang don were placed in nomination, and Col. John L. Cantwell and Capt. I. B. Gringer appointed tellers. ; The Secretary announced, as the result of the ballot, that there had beenllOl votes cast, as follows . W. J. Yopp, 04 ; R. F. Langdon, 35 ; L. H. Bowden, 1; blank, 1. Mr. Yopp, having received a niajority of the votes, wras deciared duly elected. , On motion, the election was made unan imous, and Messrs. Jno. W. Perdew and H. A. Bagg, were appointed to conduct the President-elect to his seat. Mr. Yopp, on taking his Seat, responded briefly to calls for a speech, 'at the conclu-t sion of which Messrs. Jno! W. Perdew, Jno. H. Allen and Samuel Bear, Jr. were appointed a committee to nominate suitable candidates for officers of the Club. During the absence of the committee, the chair requested some gentleman to en tertain the meeting with a speech. Mr. Thos. D. Meares then remarked that he noticed a distinguished gentleman from another portion of the State, present, and requested Maurice Q. Waddell, Esq., the gentleman referred to from Chat ham, to address the meeting, Mr. Waddell responded in a short speech of five minutes, in which he spoke of being from the'Cape Fear section, and referred to the familiar facts that he used to know that are now no longer visible, though he thought that he could recognize the like ness of many of his departed friends in the faces of their descendants that he saw around him. M. Waddell then touched upon national politic3 and the success of the Democratic party, and concluded his remarks by suggesting that we allow no dissension 'in our ranks. Mr. WaddelTs remarks were well received and applauded. The Committee having returned, made the following report for nomination, to the different offices of the Club, which were unanimously confirmed by the Club ; For First Vice President Don. McRae. For Second Vice President Timothy Donlau. For Secretary Jas. HTajlor. For Treasurer F. G. Robirson. Executive Committee- Messrs. Morris Bear, Geo. Sloan, J. B. Huggins, Aug. Deumelandt and Jno. M.

Editor: Is it true that the registration books ct the city have been removed from the May or's office, in the City Hall, for political purposes? Have so-called Democrats learned so early in official life the political tricks of their predecessors in office ? What does it mean ? Is not the j City Hall the proper, place for the keeping of the records of the city ? And has any city official the right to remove them so that citizens, who may wish to consult them, are debarred that privilege ? By whose order were they removed ? Tliey are not where they right fully belong, and an anxious public desire to knw, what does then removal mean? FJUR PI.A.Y. Church serrices.
