SPECIAL NOTICES.LIT US BE MERCIFUL TO 0UR31LVEB.The physical structure of the strongest human

being is Tuinerable everywhere. Our bodies

are endowed by sature with * certain negativepower, which protects them to some extent from

anwholeseme influences;but this protection is im¬

perfect, and cannot safely be relied on in un¬

healthy'regions, or under circumstances of more

than ordinary danger. Therefore, it is wisdom,itis prudence, it is common sense to provide againstsuch contingencies by taking an antidote in ad¬

vance: in other words by fortifying the system with

a course of Hostittbr's Stomach Bittirs, themost complete protective against all the epidemicand endemic maladies that has been administeredin any country. As a remedy for Dyspepsia, thereis no medicine that will compare with it. Who¬ever suffers the pangs of Indigestion, anywhere onthe face ofthe earth where Hobtettbr's Bittep^can be procured, does so voluntarily; for as surelyas the Trnth exists, this invaluable Tonic and Al¬terative would restore his disordered stomach to a

healthy condition. To the Billions it is also espe¬cially recommended, a&d in cases of conurmedConstipation it affords speedy and permanent re¬

lief. In Canada, the West Indies, and Australia,the Bitters rack above all other medicines of thedais, and the demand for them in all foreigncountries increases every season. my 10 2w

LOCAL NEWS.THE MEETING LAST NIGHT.

Rebels sot to Retnrato Wnihiagttn-Rti-olntious Adopted.

Pursuant to a call puplished la the city pa¬pers and signed by a large number of the prom¬inent citizens of Washington, a very enthusi¬astic meeting was held last evening in front ofthe City Hall for the purpose <*t taking actionwith respect to return «f st cesh citizens whohave been in the South closely identified withtbe rebellion since the commencement of thewar.The attendance was very large. The en¬

tire front of ihe City Hall, with the exceptionof portions of the street which had become un¬suitable for standing upon from the rain, wasdensely arowded. The design in gas jets,forming in immense characters the word.'Union," in lront of the columns, was lighted,illuminating tbe entire assemblage as well ascould nave been desired 11 any public hall.The fine band of Finley Hospital, which ac¬companied the Seventh Ward delegation, wasin attendance and added much to the spirit ofthe occasion.The meeting was ciMled to order by Mr. John

R. Elvans, who nominated Mr. John Wilsonpresident.Mr. Wilson said that he had spent the great¬

est part of his life among the citizens of Wash-ton, and he would say to them that he expect¬ed tbat the proceedings of this meeting wouldbe characterized with that order, that decorum,that regard tor law and the dignity of the capi¬tal of this great nation tbat has always distin¬guished the lojal citizens of Washington.Our country has passed through the most

painful affliction tha- has ever yet assailed anyration on the face of the earth; but the patriot¬ism, the loyalty, the love of liberty of the loyaleitizens of this great country have at lengthtriumphed, thanks be to the assistance of theGod ot battles, the wisdom of our rulers andthe valor of our officers and soldiers. [Ap¬plause]And whilst I and all of us see the symbols

of woe spread broadcast over our country, notonly for the loss of our great and beloved Pres¬ident, but for the loss of the many heroes whohave freely shed their life-blood in sustainingthe Constitution and the laws: whilst we hearthe widow's ciy and the orphan's moan fromone end of our country to the other; wnilst wesee throughout the land those who have losttheir limbs in the defence of our country, andthose who are gradually siHking to the gravein consequence of the efforts they have madein the great and holy cause which has finallyterminated in the assertion and perpetuationof civil liberty throughout all generations, wefeel and must feel the strongest, sentiments ofour hearts aroused against those who havebeen the authors of these manifold woes.When we see this culminating in the most das¬tardly and most cowardly and most villainousmurder that has ever disgraced any man, inthe assassination of our beloved President;when we remember the eighty thousand of ourfellow-citizens who starved to death in South¬ern dungeons, we cannot repress the feelingsof our hearts towards the authors: but, myfriends, let us remember that the virtue, thepatriotism, and the love of order that haveenabled the loyal citizens of this great countryto crush out this infamous rebellion must stillguide as ; and whilst w6 must appeal to lawand order, we must look to the constituted au¬thorities, who, thank Heaven, huve both theability and tbe will to right the evil whichseems to threaten us. [Applause.] Le: us,then, whilst we freely, as independent citizensof this great Republic, express our sentiments,repose confidence where It can be safelyplaced.In the hands of the constituted au¬thorities.and let us do ne overt act ourselves,but leave that to those authorities who haveso wisely and so safely guarded this greatShip of State through the awful storm out ofwhich we have just passed, thank God, safelyinto port. [Applause]During the introductory remarks of Mr.

Wilson, Joseph F. Brown, president of theHoard of Aldermen, arrived, and became pres¬ident ex officio, stating, as he assumed the po¬sition, that he was acting for Mayor Wallachby his request, and stood there as his repre¬sentative, the Mayor being sick, In conse¬quence of the fatigue that he had undergone inattending the President's remains to Spring¬field.The following gentlemen were then appoint¬ed as the other officers of the meeting :Vice Presidents.Asbury Lloyd, G.

RESOLUTIONS.Whereas in eighteen hundred and sixty-one,

a rebellion long contemplated was commencedfor the avowed purpose of ' destroying ourR' public and creating a Government basedupon radically different, revolutionary andmonarchical principles;" and whereas, thosewho organized and who have controlled thatrebellion have endeavored to accomplish itsexecrable designs, not only by "the ordinarymeans of civilized wartare," but by the com¬mission of every crime which has been pro¬hibited by an enlightened andalevated human¬ity, and which has distinguished the ferocityand degradation of barbarism; and whereas,entirely approving of its purpose, a consider¬able number of the citizens of this District, atits inception and during its progress, volun¬tarily abandoned their residences and enteredinto its "military or civil service," and untilthe recent overthrow and surrender of itsarmies, were perpetrators, active agents, sup¬porters, or eulogists of its atrocious crimes:aBd whereas some of these persons havealready returned to the District, while otherspropose doing so, and have been, and will be,cordially received and sustained by not a few,who, without forsaking their residences, havetecretly or openly sanctioned the utterances ordeeds of their mere courageous associates andkindred; and whereas these facts demand audjustify an expression of tne opinions and de¬terminations of the residents of the District,who have persistently endeavored to sustainthe Government and resist the object of therebellion: Therefore,

Resolved, That It is the sacred and inalien¬able right of individuals, whether in a state ofnature or oforganized society, to protect them¬selves against everv form of physical andmoral evil. To neglect to do so is of itself acrime. We cannot, therefore, do otherwisethan earnestly and energetically resist the set¬tlement among us of those who have duringthe last four years been directly connected withthe rebellion, and especially of that part ofthem who were formerly residents of the Dis¬trict. For this class there cannot even be setup the shallow plea of State allegiance; andthus wholly destitute as they are, of any palli-ation or excuse for their conduct, they shouldnot be allowed to disgrace or contaminate thecapital of the nation by their presence. Here,at It ast, they should receive neither smiles norprotection; and if allowed to evade tbe justpenalty of their crimes, they should be re¬quired to breathe out the miserable existenceof baiiled traitors on some less hallowed spot.

Itetolred, That we most cordially approve ofthe opinion of Attorney General Speed, of the22d ult-, relative to "the effect of the capitsla.tlon made between Generals Grant and Lee."It contains these, among other importantpoints, vi*: First. That the rebel officers in¬cluded in the surrender to Gen. Grant haveno hemes within the loyal States, and have noright to come to places which were their homesprior to their goinj Into rebellion;" and, sec¬ondly, "That persons in the civil service ofthe rebellion, or who had otherwise given itsupport comfort and aid, and were residentsof the rebel territory, certainly have no rightto return to Washington under that stipu¬lation." It therefore accords with our ma¬tured views, arid we will not hesi'ate to putforth every effort which may be required togive to render It efllcient, and to sustain itsable and distinguished author, and our ener¬getic and patriotic Secretary of War In thepositions which they have assumed and pro¬mulgated.

Jirsolved, That while we would carefullyavoid ungrounded suspicions and unjost crim¬inations, we cannot doubt that combinationsor associations have existed in this communityto further the objects of the rebellion. Thesewe believe have not been wholly abandoned.And with the ardor which arises from tim-

iiarity of feelings and principles the personscomposing these associations have and willenconrage the return among ns of traitorousmen and women, with whem they haye allalong sympathized, and to whom in variousways they have famished material aid, andconveyed important intelligence. Artful andcautions, however, as they have been, or maybe, they have not entirely avoided discovery,nor can they escape full detection. Their'crimes cannot go unrevealed, and we will in¬sist that they shall be regalarly indicted andtried for misprison of treason, if net lor trea¬son, unless they remove to more congenial re¬gions And in doing this, we cannot forgetthat it was not by pnbllc and avowed agentsof the rebelMon, bat by its secret and residentmiscreants, that the late President was baselyassassinated and a dastardly attempt made tomurder the Secretary of State and members ofhis family. It would be censurable indilfer-ence to be unmindful of the lesson thustaught us.

Resolved, That while we are fully and unal-terablv determined to prevent traitors, theirabetters and sympathizers, from acquiring orretaining residences in our midst, we recom¬mend and urge the utmost prudence and de¬liberation in the adoption of nteuis to effectour purpose. Rashness and precipitancy ofaction should be avoided. The Impulse ofpassion should be restrained and controlled,se as to give greatest possible efficacy to thedictates of calm and enlightened judgment.And in whatever we do we should endeavorto secure the approval and co-operation of theNational Government; and we therefore re¬quest the president of this meeting to appointa committee oi two from each ward of Wash¬ington and Georgetown, and from the county,to present its proceedings to the proper au¬thorities, ard to consult with them in relationto the most fea ible plans of action. By thusmoving in harmony with the authorities, wecannot fail in our undertaking.

Resolved, That we approve of the resolutionsintroduced into the Common Council of thiscity relative to "the return of discharged rebelsoldiers, 'and we are surprised thai members oftbat body should declare that those resolutionsdo not express the sentiments of the people ofWashington. The people, in the exercise of theelective franchise in June next, can and wetrust will respond in a becoming manner to thisutterance. In the meantime we call upon allthe municipal authorities of the District torsuch co-operative action with the general Gov¬ernment and the committee to be appointed bythe president of this meeting as will most ef¬fectually exclude all who have been active ordisguised rebels from its limits.

Iietolved, That we cannot too highly and ear¬nestly sanction the recently expressed views ofPresident Johnson in regard to the nature andpunishment of treason. Using his terse words,we declare that it is a crime, "the highest crimeknown to the law, and the people ought to un¬derstand it, and be taught to knaw that unlessit is so considered there can be no government."And that, while those who have been drawninto the rebellion "by conscription and dread"should receive "clemency and pardon, the se¬verest ^penalties" should be inflicted on its"conscious, influential, and "voluntary" vin¬dicators and supporters. And most cordiallydo we agree with him, that "mercy withoutJYPTICE IB A CRIME."W ith a Chief Magistrate who entertains these

elevated and correct views, and who In thisrespect approximates to the Divine conceptionof government, ol crime, and the punishment,we cannot doubt the "Republic is safe;' thatthe deeds ot conspirators, insurrectionists andassassinators will receive just retribution, andthe right of every citizen and community beduly guarded and defended.Truly, a new and more glorious era dawns

on the nation; one of restored and purifiedunity: and we may well exclaim, "Let it beperpetual."

8PEKCH OP TOPBPII F. BROWW.Fellow-citizens : Within the last twenty min-I utes, at the request of the Mayor of Washing¬

ton, who is unfortunately confined to his bed,1 have been called upon to preside in thismeeting to-night.The Mayor assures me that he completely

and cordially endorses It, and I know that ex¬presses the sentiments of the people and Cor¬poration of the city of Washington; and I aminstructed by the Mayor to express to his fel¬low-citizens now present his regret that, onaccount of his recent exposure in attendingthe President's remains to Springfield, he hascontracted an Illness which leaves him unableto be present at this meeting to-night; andtherefore I, as the second officer in this city,feel it my duty to make this known to yon.

I am here officially, as the second officer ofthe Government, in the absence of the Mayor,to direct your attention to the objects which wehave been eailed upon this e veiling to consider.I know the Mayor could present them withmore dignity and influence than it has been myfortune to do. But I am here as his repre¬sentative, and the representative of the sov¬ereign people of Washington, to say to you,one and all, In behalf the corporate authori¬ties of the city, that we truly and entirely en-I dorse the call which has summoned you hereto-night.We are in favor, every one of us, of assort¬

ing to the Government and authorities thatcontrol the city and the country from the RioGrande to the northernmost portion of our ter¬ritory in Maine, that we are ia favor of sayingto those that deserted us four years ago.eachand every one of them that sought to break upthis Government.after voluntarilysarrender-ing their citizenship,* and of their free choiceseeking their homes ia rebellious Statec: "Youhave made your bed, and must lie upon it."[Applause ] Deliberately and of your ownfrt-e will and free choice, you sought a homeamong those that were rebels and traitors tothe Government, and now that the power ofthe Government has been, as we all knew itwould be, from the first to the last, main¬tained, we now deliberately, and of our ownsolemn convictions, say to you: "Whilst wedo not desire to persecute you or visit you withvengeance, we feel that your absence is in¬finitely more preferable to us than your com¬pany." [Applause.]Gentlemen, this is I believe the convicion,

deliberately concluded of every man I nowsee before me. If I am mistaken in that, ifthere a. j gentlemen who difl'er with me, I oansay, in all kindness and charity, you haveheard in these resolutions the conscientiousconviction at which we have arrived. I knowthat I speak the sentiments of ninety-nine outof every hundred of the people of Washington.Gentlemen, I think it is our duty, first andlast, when we remember the cruel events ofthe past lour years.how these people, underthe very shadow cf our national flag, enjoy¬ing all the protection our Government couldgive them, deliberately, calmly, conscientious¬ly, as I am bound in charity to suppose de¬termined that this Government should bebroken up, and this city transferrfl and forcedto become a part and parcel of tho SouthernConfederacy, and got under the very shadowof this City Hall to carry out Maryland andthis city of Washington from under the au¬thority of onr Government.When we think ol these things; whsu we

remember that no conscription as in NorthCarolina ard Mississippi and other States,was forced upon them, when the public opin¬ion and the pnbllc tide did not hurry theminto the rebellion.but. that they went of theirown free will, determined to take the conse¬quences, 1 say now, as the representative of15,i iK) voters in Washington, that they shouldbe compelled to abide by their choice.

I have thus attempted to let yoa know theobject ol the corporate authont'- . iri conven¬ing this meeting to-night; !ha labve* youmay do yon may do in mercy, in charity, inkindness, and in accordance with law audorder. Resolutions are now prepared to besubmitted to this meeting.You have heard the resolutions so patriot¬

ically conceived and expressed by the commit¬tee in behalf of the corporation of the city ofWashington. 1 take upon myself the respon¬sibility to say that every member of that cor¬poration heartily endorses these resolutions.They are the public sentiment of this entireC< jpmufil'v. from one Boundary street to theother.

SPEECH OP MR. TENNEY.1 am brought out here, against my own con-

sent, as the representative of Georeetown; butI have never hesitated to do my duty. We, ofthe District, all feel alike in this matter. When1 have seen these returned rebele arm-in-armwith our District secessionists, I have felt in¬tense i&dignaiion. But, as a conservator oflaw and order, I am gratified that the presentquiet and dignified manner of expressing ouropinion has been adopted.We have been.told that some of those menwho had returned had taken the oath of alle¬giance and would be permitted to stay. [Shoutsof "Never! never!"] I say so, too. [Cheers.]We are content with ealling upon the Govern¬ment to issue a military order that these re¬turned rebels shall leave this District. I amonly surprised at the mildness of action whichtlie loyal 9\ W* Diitrict deems it beat

to take, when much mere extreme measureami*tit have been expected. fji wInstead of asking that they should beimprisoned or hung as traitors, we only sayyour sight is offensive; yon are a stenah in ottrnostrils; yon may go to N»w York or Penn¬sylvania, or leave the United S aws, and go toJersey [cheers] and lire there, If those Stateswill permit yon; or, 11 not, yon may go toSouth Carolina, or a worse place. We ash thatthe corporations of Washington aad Georgs-town shall pass laws forever disfranchisingsnch rascals; that no man may vote in thiaDistrict who is gnilty ot the greatest crimethat an American can commit.the crime oftreason.which includes the robbing, mur¬dering, tnd starving of prisoners, stealing eventhe very money sent to relieve them in thehospitals, culminating in the assassination ofthe greatest and best man that Washingtonever saw.Thank God, Andrew Johnson succeeds him.

a man who, while he has great kindness otheart and urbanity of manner, Is a man of jus.tice as well as ot mercy. He has suffered inthis rebellion.hae known what it is to bedriven from his home and persecuted; and weknow that he will give what the Irishman wasafraid ot-and that's justice.In reference to these men taking the oath,

and being permitted to stay here, I would say;Oaths rwith them) are but words, words butwind, too feeble instruments to bind. Menguilty of such crimes as they have committedwould not hesitate at perjury. Let them bepunished, and after years of repentance insackcloth and ashes we may welcome them;but not till then.[The band here played » Tho Star Spangled

Chaplain N. M. Gaylor, of Campbell Hoe-pital, then addressed the audience, saying Icame here to-night not expectlrg to be calledupen for a speech. After supper I read thecall, and said to myself: This is a righteousJudgment; I will go down and see the peopleact righteousness ; and so 1 came from the hos¬pital. But my friends have pressed me intothe service. Now, I beg of you, first of all, tounite with me in congratulation that the CityCouncil is committed to this movement. Thesecond officer, acting for the aiayor, hasDledged them to It, and we will make themcarry It out. We'll hold them to the bond,every one of them.

It has gone abroad that the city governmentof Washington was not sound on the goose,and men have believed that there were a ma¬jority of two-taced men In the city governmentwho sympathized, to say the least, with the re¬bellion. It this was so, it was the most dam¬nable, disgraceful fact that could be told efthem. Who should be loyal, unless the citi¬zens whe owe their very life to the Govern¬ment? Who should not be true, if not thosemen who would be nothing, but for the gen¬eral Government at Washington ? Of all in-grates upon whom the snn shines, of alltraitors, double-dyed, those are the worst who,having fed upon the Government, lived on.its benignant kindness, and grown fat upon it,receiving spucial favors for them and theirkindred, yet, when there was peril, baselywent away and betrayed us.Now in a double 6euse these men deserve

your condemnation. There is a great distinc¬tion between the rebel ot Tennessee and therebel of Washington or Maryland. Men in theSouthern States were called upon to resisttheir township, their friends. their lamilies,their society, their neighbors, their church ;and every stream contributing to the tide, theywere borne away against their judgment.Your refined gentlemen of Washington, who

are so choice in their tastes that they could noCendure the rabble democracy of the North; thefriends of him who is now flying the wrath ofan aroused nation, the price of blood upon hishead, who will bo caught, and, if caught, hung.this same Davis said, "the only way you cantame a spaniel is to whip him;" said this as asimile to the Yankee. Now, Davis and hisfriends hav^ been well whipped, and the latterhave a humility of the spaniel. They will bevery quiet for a time; they would look loyaland talk loyal on the same avenue; but letsome sharp detective follow their track,and hewould find them in little corteries lamentingover the max tyred Davis, bemoaning overthe rule of the Yankees, and, whenever oppor¬tunity afforded, they would act disloyally, ifthey dared.

, 1V1 say, if you allow these men.these double-dved traitors, who have no excuse underHeaven bnt their own base and Iniquitousnatures to remain here, you will cover your¬selves and this city with disgrace. Resolvethat no man tainted with treason, or who hasbeen in any way In svmphthy with the rebel¬lion at any time, shall live here or hold officewith your Government. If you resolve this,you can cairy it out. And our friend willhave uttered, if not a fact of the present, aprophecy cf the future, when he said that allof us endorsed It.

Alter an eloquent speech by Captain J. W.Ricks, of California, the President of the meet¬ing, Mr. Brown, read the resolutious adoptedby the Common Council, (published yesterday)stating that two voted in the negative. Loudand vehement calls were made for the namesof those who voted is the negative, which weregiven as Mr. Wright, of the 7th Ward, and Mr.Ward, of the 5th Ward. These were receivedwith groans and other marks of disapprobation.The names of the absentees were then de¬

manded,but nothavmgthem at hand the Presi¬dent read the names of those who voted in theaffirmative, Messrs. Dudley, Davis, Kelly,Lamer, Ruff, Talbert, Ferguson, Wilson, andLloyd.After remarks by Mr. Scott, of Iowa, Justice

Bos well, of the Seventh Ward, addressed themeeting. He was in lavor of peaceful mea- 4sures, and would not counsel personal vio¬lence to returning rebels; but for one, he wat»determined that they should not be permittedto remain in our midst. They had left Wash¬ington at the commencement of the war oftheir own free will, and during last summerh&d been ready to come in with Early andsack and destroy the homes of loyal men.Now that the power and integrity ol the Gov¬ernment had been re-established, they wereslinking back again to the enjoyment of allthe rights and privileges of those who had re¬mained through much peril true to the causeof the Union. They should not be permittedto come back. They were a dangerous ele¬ment. Their return would be an insult to thewidows and orphans of the gallant dead, andtheir presence a polluting influence upon therising generation. But those who returnedwere not the only ones to be looked after.There were men living here who were wel¬

coming the returning traitors with every mani¬festation of friendship, and who clasped bythe hnnd the very men that less than one yearago hoped to lay waste the homes of theUnion people ot Washington. He might goat length to name parties who have remainedin Washington, and who should be watchedas closely as those went South. So far asMr. Wright was concerned, he hoped that thepeople or his ward would set the seal of con¬demnation upon him, and he would recom¬mend that he be requested to resign his seat inthe Board of Common Council, and that theSecretary of War be petitioned for his dimissalfrom the position as one of the chief employesof the Washington Arsenal. If the Govern-mentdid not take notice of the conduct of thisman, he (Mr. B ) would advise that a body ofmen go to his house and peaceably but firmlynotify him to leave the city.At the conclusion of Justice Boswell's re¬

marks, a resoluticn requesting Mr. Wright toresign bis place as a member of the CommonCouncil, was unanimously adopted.A resolution requesting Mr. Ward of the

Fifth Ward to resign, was also adopted.Mr. H. A. Pierce, of California, next ad¬

dressed the meeting, and was followed byNoble D. Larner, of the Third Ward, who waaintroduced as the author of the resolutionsadopted by the City Councils. He said that hehad been compelled to say a few words in jus¬tice to those associated with him in the Coun¬cil. He bad been complimented as the authorof those resolutions. Such was not the case.They were prepared by Justice Johnsoj. andhe only had the honor oi moving their adoptionas chairman of committee having them,under consideration.Mr. Larner then narrated the experiences of

the friends of the resolutions iu the Counciland concluded by urging the necessity of look¬ing after secessionists who had remained here,'.veil So those who were retnrnlng from theSouth The former were the greater traitors.He knew them to be the deepest dyed villains,and no more leniency should be sbown themthan the returning rebels whom they were soeagerly welcoming.The "meeting then adjourned tine die, withloud cheers for President Johnson.The following committee ot consultation was
