Reports by telegraph from different parts of Ohio say that the majority on the State ticket will be nbont twenty thousand; and from the first returns received from Indiana, it is believed that Governor Wright's majority will be about twelve thousand. These results show that the name of Gen. Scott has had no power to draw voters from the democratic party, and that his silly speeches, made during his late electioneering tour, inslead of making him friends, have had the effect to W0Pr.leui'or lhoJJrouklu Daily Eagle.

That ih. Tlie Confirmation ITIeeliiifr. In consequence of the severe storm which prevailed Inst evening, it was thought best by the Committee of Arrangements that the Confirmation Meeting, which had been called at the Bee Hive, should be postponed. Accordingly, word was sent around to wuugm uii me lsmmus oi ranama, so that his death was not wholly unexpected by his friends. Mr.

Stephens was the son of Benjamin Stephens, a retired and wealthy merchant, who survives him he was born this city, in 1805; and received his academical education at Columbia College. Soon after his graduation, he studied law with Daniel Lord first, and Ihen at ihe Litchfield law school, and entered upon the practice ot the profession, but he pursued it only for a few years, in consequence of his loss of health. It was determined by his friends that he should make a protiacted visit to Europe for its recovery. He went to England, France, Germany, Russia, and, what was then more unusual than it is now, to Ihe countries of the East. Several years were thus nassed hv Mm in i "iiiiiuiici ui i no directed to cause a cross Vf acrosaJ lee street, at Hie intersection f.

It was then proposed that Major McPhail should address them, which he did, recounting, in the course of his remarks', the joyous news from Ohio, Indiana, Pennsylvania and Baltimore. By this time quite a number had assembled, and some of the burners in the large room were lighted up. Mr.

Harris then stepped forward and announced that the meeting was adjourned to next Monday evening, and most of the audience left. But although some left, others dropped in and took their places, and Mr. Morris took the stand and began to address them, while yet the room was only before the people, that it seems to have driven many from his standard in disgust. The Tribune undertakes to say that these elections are no criterion of the rcsull in November. "We need not," it continues, "remind our readers that Gen.

Scott was not a candidate at these State elections as ho will be in November." This is worse than nonsense it is a wilful attempt to mislead the public mind. Everybody knows how the October election in Pennsylvania four years ago veered to towards the Taylor standard, and how, in all these prior contests, the popular mind shows its tendencies. Yesterday the Tribune undertook to show that in Pennsylvania the result was mainly owino to 3T At the Annual Meeting: of tltc Members of the Brooklyn Association for the encourag incnt of the Fine Arts, the following officers were elect ed for the eusuiDg year: President DANIEL P.

Several large editions were sold by the publishers the Messrs Harpers, in this country, and as may more by their agents in England. The qualities which gained it ns chief popularity were liveliness of narrative, vigorous and dashing sketches of personal adventure and a rapid change of scene.

Other more brilliant vvorks on the East have followed from ihe pens of English and American writers, from Eothen, War burton and the Howadji, but none of them have been more extensively read than Mr. Stephen's early volumes, which we cannot but regard as having given the original impulse to these orientalists. The next year this work was followed by another on "Greece. Turkey, Poland," which found a scarcely less favorable reception, and established his fame, both as a daring and indomitable traveller and a wriler of great freshness and skill. The reviews of it which appeared in the London quarterlies commended it as one of the best works of travel thai had been written.

In the mind of every well informed politician these elections settle the contest. They prove that ther through the rain, and were received with three hearty cheers. The meeting had now reached about a thousand, and showed no want of life. Mr. Morris resumed his remarks, and the room rang with the plaudits of the hearers.

When he finally retired, Mr. John F. Hammersly, a mechanic of the Fifth Ward, followed with some stirring remarks, which were received with much enthusiasm, and he retired amid a storm of applause. Mr. Bogardus then undertook to read some machine poetry, which did not go down quite so well.

Mr. Dustin being loudly called for, appeared before the people, and spoke earnestly for half an hour then Major McPhail again took the stand; and finally N. F. Waring concluded the proceedings. The room was not quite full at any time, but the meeting was full of warmth and animation and although the rain poured down fromviihoui tlie powder seemed to be dry and in good condition inside.

Broadhead received the appointment. Mr Van Buren being then President ol the U. gave Mr. Stephens the appointment of charge d' alairs to Central America, which enabled him, in an official character, to visit that interesting country, and to explore its antiquities. The difficulties he encountered in the prosecution of his various wanderings are fully detailed, and in the most vivacious manner, in the book which grew out of them, on his return.

This book, entitled "Incidents of Travel in Central America," was even more widely circulated than any of his previous works.

The returns show that thedem cratic majority on the State ticket will be from fifteen to twenty thousand. It is probable that the democratic vote will be larger than the united votes countenance was as animatea as that of a boy. The writer seeing so venerable a personage in the crowd observed to him that it was rather a rough night for one of his years to be abroad but he repled that water could not drown him, and he could not have staid away even if he had been in danger of drowning. He was 84 years of age, and afterwards Mr. Waring brought him on the stand, and introduced him to the audience.

He was, of course, received with cheers, and was the object of much attention. On the whole, the incident of the rain was hardly to be regretted. It is Jrue, it caused the ceremony of confimation to be postponed to a later day but it also gave rise to a very pleasant, spontaneous gathering of the democracy, which served equally well to ueiu ana van Brunt streets, to fill up and grade the "i me constitution ot the State of New York was about to be revised in lSdfi luv chosen one of the delecates from this ritv tn th aauii; iu uume ann prevent nuisance, said lots are 7i feet on President street, and 100 feet on Van Brim street adopted. of the whigs and free soilers.

The laborers and others wno work along the wharves in New York as 'long shore men have been on a strike for some days, demanding higher wages than they have heretofore received. These strikes, although they may proceed from unjust treatment of the laborers, generally if not always tend to injure those who engage in them.

An employer should treat all persons working for him liberally and fairly; and, on the other hand, the employed should observe a similar bearing towards the employer. If laborers demand higher wages and insist upon carrying their demands by highhanded force it is evident that the other party must resist or else all law and order would be at an end. The result of such attempted coercion by laborers towards their employers, is alwaysdisastrous to those who engage in them. The Pilots'strike on the boats of the Union Ferry Company not long since, was another instance of the folly of such proceedings The Pilots were right in the premises, and might have obtained all they asked for, had they adopted proper means to attain their end, and instead of attempting to force the company into their measures, had peacefully and quietly submitted their claims to their employers attention. The 'longshore men have adopted a more violent mode of proceeding than is usually resorted to, and have beaten and abused members of their own class who would attempt to act according to their own judgement in the matter.

The natural consequence is, that the bosses have taken a decided stand against them, and have sought and obtained the assistance of the police authorities to sustain them in repelling any forcible measures attendance is requested. to ho undersold by Kny establishment in the United Steles.
