The white citizens of the ward also assembled In large numbers, and all seemed to be Impressed with the importance of the occasion. The meeting was called to order by Mr. J. E.

Hogan, .were ap? pointed a committee to nominate permanent officers. The committee then withdrew. During the absence or the committee the chalr^ signified that the meet lug' would like to hear' from some of the gentlemen present, and Mr. John G. Mackey being called for, said: He had come to the meeting as a visitor, and did not ex? pect to take so .prominent a part as to make a speech. He wanted to see What was going on, and was anxious to iearn what b.-acon they would bold ont, and what example they would set m the inaugural movement. He would await to see if he for one could rollo w and be guided by it, In jastlce to his principles. At this point Mr. Mackey oame to a sudden halt, and declined to say any more. " Mr. 0. C. Trombo, Jr., having been repeatedly called upon, at last responded, saying that be had not expected to be called-upon, but was will? ing to add his reeble voice to. the glorious cause. There was an interval or two months which yet remained before the actual eonte?t, and m the meantime it became all citizens to work bard'to wipe out corruption and elevate upright princi? ples in our city. The tune for working was come, awi all ano aid .jo In th? organization wjii?h. was to aid the cause. It was necessary to work, too, as a unit, as divided they could not hope to-.attain the noble end In view. The speaker then excused himself from further trespassing oe the time.of the meeting, and resigned, tho floor, Lleutenant-Governof Hausier, who was also present, was then loudly called for, when some one present arose and asked, "What sort of a meeting "this was" Radical or Democrat?'' The chairman, In response, said lt gave him pleasure to answer this question. The friends to conservatism and good order had beeil Invited to attend, and every citizen who answered to tirs definition was welcome to the meeting, what? ever might be his poll Hes, color or race. Mr. J. O. Mackey then arose, and said when he addressed the meeting he did so as one surround? ed by friends. Though differing In politics with many present, he was prepared and willing to make a sacrifice of hts feelings for the good of his native city. [Applause ] Seeing the call, he felt that he would come and do his best, and that he feared no opinion as long as he felt he was doing right. He was walting to bear the views or the meeting; if. wrong, ne -jpald held back;no? . If he thought them right, he woola do all (n bis power to assist them. . Lieutenant 0 vernor Ransler being called for, said he appeared merely as a spectator at the meeting. He had marked ont for himself a cer? tain course in this campaign, and, In accordance, with that course, he deemed it his duty to vieit every one of the ward meetings that were called. Mr. Roche here^asked that the call for the meet? ing publishes? in tire papers be read; and asked the speaker If be was opposed to the present ad? ministration. Mr. Ransler answered, "Tes, for the good of the ch y he was opposed to lt. He claimed to sympa? thize with the meeting in their effort to better the condition of" the city and* State. While he was mindful of his fealty to the Republicans as op? posed to Democrats, that politics were not nec? essarily invplved bi the question, ir they wanted to help the poor mechanic, white and colored, to get a good city government, "and Improve their present condition, they must lay aside politics, forget white and black, and unite lu the attempt to obtain an honest government. In this en deavor he promised* his humble a=slsrauce. In selecting a committee they must have men who wli? tay aside certain prejudices, and who can select men of responsibility and talent from both among the. colored andi white; that the wealth .-and tn tsjolgen?ceishou?d;speouc* men. whom;the ignorant? majority may .meet half way, and' go oaaJj-ioi hand. It was a question fir tHe* whites to con? sider whether it was not more dangerous for them to make a pol.tlcal fight? they having more to lose. The masses or the Republic in party are tn the majority. The wealthy men should con? sider th cym at ter, and give the colored majority,, such* a representation" as would sattery their claims. He trusted he had offended no one by his being Identified with a -certain political patty. He wanted to see things bettered, if they ap? proached the question lu this spirit to save Obarleetou, ss an honest mau fte would go with them. .

B.-j McTnreous, Thomas O'Brien, Frederick Pieper, Isaac E. Greener; Franz MeTcbers; secretary, 0. Mathewes; treasurer, James Allan.

H. DeLeon. DEATH OF MR. THOMAS S. NICEERSON-The Savannah Advertiser, of yesterday, says: "A tele? gram last evening announced the death of the well-known proprietor of the Screven House, at Milwaukle, Wisconsin, at half-past 8 o'clock: yes? terday morning. The telegram gave no cause of his death, but as he has long suffered with a complicated disease, lt ls presumed that the complaint, so long an Inconvenience, has at last proved fatal. Mr. Nickerson left here but a few weeks since, to spend. the summer months at I the North,.and at.the period of his decease was sojourning ip Milwaukee on business. Probably no boteTproprletor In tjte South possessed a more general acquaintance North and South. He was tbe proprietor of various popular hotel enterprises in South Carolina and Georgia. The Mills House, of Charleston, was for a long time under his control. The'Nlcserson House, at Columbia, S. C., the Planters' at Augusta, and tte National at At? lanta, have all at one time and another found friends and prestige under his management. The Screven House, of thiscfty; passed Into hls-h?nds 1a. 1668, when Ire flrst arrived here, and since thavperiod has gained a widespread reputation. Mr. Nickerson was the possessor of an easy dis? position that gained for him hosts or friends. Sis manage Olen: was liberal, progressive and courteous. He was a deservedly popular man, I who had won esteem by weary experience and much struggling, and was entitled to success tn Its fullest seuse. Mr. Nickerson, we learn, was a native of Cape Col, Massachusetts,-but passed most of hts lire lu the South. He leaves a wire and one daughter, both or whom are now at the North. His age was about Arty years. We have not learned yet what disposition will be made of the remains, but a? his wife is a native of Balti? more lt ls reasonable to suppose that they wlli be burled In that city. The Screvea House was placed la mourning last evening by those in charge." THE STATE COURT-The Court of General Sessions was opened yesterday moraiag at 10 o'clock, Hon. R. F. Graham' presiding.

While SO urti ch ls being said concerning our approaching municipal election, it may not be amiss to state that the man whom all good elli zens or every class desire to see Mayor of Charles? ton should be; In the frat place, a man of good EQUud practical commonsense; second, he should be one who has lived among as, whose lnierests in a good local administration are extensive and -identiBed with our own ; and, third, one In whose integrity and honesty Hie public can place im? plicit confidence. Taxpayers havo a right to be represented by' one of the most proraiueut of their own class. We have many goodnndable men among us without going out of our own city. Having these views, 1 would mention the name of Robert Adger, Esq., as one who combines the above mentloued qualities in a very high degree. I have no authority for saying that Mr. Adger would accept the nomination, but I conceive a vast majority of the citizens of Charleston would be pleased to see a citizen so well known and respected OH a position for which he la lu every respect qualified.
