District Attorney Hall presided, although the Tammany Hall organ, the Leader, whereof Mr.

Hall Is editor, advocates the choice of Horatio Seymour. The live stock exhibitions on the streets of New York are varied as well as interesting. Besides herds of cattle, Including a greater or less number of mad steers, droves of shivering and newly shorn sheep promenade the principal and most crowded thoroughfares. The yacht Henrietta has been sold for $10,000. Ths Gettysburg Lottery BubBCribera have been sold for more than that.

The Henrietta wat one of the prizes of that excellent charitable scheme. A man In San Francisco gets the boat. The swindled thousands all over the country who Invested their greenbacks get nothing. Thomas A. Scott, sub marine diver, pro? poses tm a wager of 8600 to remain under water from sunrise to sunset.

Aside from breathing embarrassments, a day on the river's bed would seem to be aa pleasant as a day on what in this moist season Is only figuratively speaking dry land. If his lungs stand the pressure Mr. Scott may And his position so agreeable that he will prefer the permanent life of a sub marine until the weather changes in the upper world. A Fraud on ttae "Boys in Bine." A class of men who were politicians before the war, and who succeeded in obtaining a "little brief authority" over better men than themselves, aa officers, because they were politicians, have returned to their original calling. To this there would be no objection, if the political Captains, Colonels, Brigadiers, would only make up their minds (hat the war is at an end, and that their authority over the men who served their country faithfully in subordinate positions has ceased.

Those old party hacks now play the role of erans," and get up Conventions as easily as drum head court rnartials in war times, and, without a particle, of authority pledge the otesof the men who temporarily served under them to whichever political party secures their services for the time being. A singular feature about these soldiers' conventions is that these are made up as the Misissippi militia was said to be In old times solely of officers. The army is there, minus the privates not one of whom is invited to a seat in these bogus bodies. It is about time that these political warriors were made to understand that the votes of the men who served in the late war are not in the market, and cannot be traded away like so many rations, by sutlers seeking for political places. The soldiers of the late war are now simply citizens of the Republic.

They have no interest distinct from the interest of their fellow citizens. If they have any distinguishing characteristic it grows out of their eagerness and anxiety to see their toils and sacrifices crowned with success in a restored Union, and in the re establishment, of liberty, peace and prosperity over their whole country. They give the men who fought against them creuit for sincerity. They are proud of the success they secured over them because they know that they were brave soldiers, and like brave soldiers will maintain the pledges they made on laying down their arms. If God in His mercy had allowed the men who carried the country through the war to settle all the issues involved in it, the country would have returned to its normal condition long before this time.

Wretched politicians who made money out of the war are solely responsible for the present disturbed condition of the Republic. The soldiers who served in the Union armies prefer to do their own voting. They are not willing to see their privileges as citizens traded away by anybody. They utterly repudiate the brazen faced political charlatans who would deny them the elementary right of American freemen the right of judging for themselves and voting in such a way as, in their opinion, will best subserve the interest of themselves and their fellow citizens. Under pretence of per actuating the feelings of friendship which naturally grew out of common dangers and common sufferings, the Society of the Grand Aimy of the Republic" was organized.

Despite the fact that it is a secret organization, numbers of honorable soldiers joined it, though they were puzzled to know why there should be any secrecy associated with a purpose so entirely commendable. The fact that several well known and public spirited citizens. But when the hour of meeting came, the only member of the Society who was on hand was the secretary, Dr. Mudie. A solitary reporter was the only company the Doctor had.

We can imagine the situation. It was like the story of the man and the crow. The man looked at the crow, and the crow looked at the man, then they both' looked at each other. Under such embarrassing circumstances a man of average intellect would have declared the meeting adjourned, gone home, and resigned his secretaryship in disgust. But Dr.

Mudie was not the man to give up so easily; besides he had prepared an elaborate annual report which he took some pride in, and the presence of the solitary reporter inspired him with the hope that he might at least get it before the public. It was necessary, however, to go through the form of a public meeting that the report might be presented and read, and how to accomplish this was the problem that perplexed the worthy Doctor. There are insurmountable difficulties in the way of one man holding a public meeting and transacting legislative business. To organize a business meeting two officers are essential, a piesident and a secretary. One man it is true might do the work of both but there is still another difficulty.

Parliamentary rules, which govern all public bodies, require that every motion made must be seconded before it can be put t3 the house, and how could that be done when there was not a second person present? These considerations must have been too much for Dr. Mudie if he had been left alone. But, fortunately, at this crisis Dr. George I. Bennet came into the room.

Dr. Bennet was not a member of the Society he had only dropped in to make some suggestions. Dr. Mudie, however, seized upon him as an opportunity for deliverance from his difficulties. He proposed that Dr.

Bennet should then and thtre join the Society, and organize for business. Dr. Bennet amiably consented, whereupon Dr. Mudie proposed him, seconded him, and elected him unanimously. Just at the moment of triumph another unforeseen obstacle arose.

The by laws of the Society require that a member must pay an initiation fee of five dollars. Dr. Bennet hadn't that sum about him. We are compelled to infer that Dr. Mudie was in a similar state of im pecuniosity, otherwise there is no doubt he would have advanced the money on Dr.

Ben net's note of hand, and disposed of this difficulty in the most straightforward way. There was no one else present to borrow five dollars of, for of course neither of the Doctors was capable of the wild absurdity of supposing that a reporter ever carried so much money about him. This difficulty would have daunted some men, and they would have given up in despair. But Dr. Mudie was equal to the emergency.

He suspended the bylaws, and took Dr. Bennet in on trust. After this all was plain sailing. The meeting was organized by calling Dr. Bennet to the chair, Dr.

Mudie officiating as Secretary. The Secretary then read his annual report. Dr. Mudie made a speech commenting on the annual report, and moved CondactoM, Iiook Oat Tome Alitor of the BrooUyn Eagte I wish to ask the conductors of the Fulton and Greene avenue car routes to look out for a red faced, liray haired man, well dreseod, in order to protect ladies traveling alone on the car from being annoyed by him. In returning from Mr.

Beecher'a church yesterday morning, I noticed this person standing In a corner of the car, crowding closely against a lady who was eeated. When a number of the passengers bad lea tbe car, bo that there was no excuse for crowding, this old man still stood in an attldude which brought him in close contact with the ladles who were seated, ard whose annoyance was so visibly expressed In their con tenanco that I conld not help noticing it and telling tho man he waa incommoding them on which his face turned redder than ever, and wlthouta word of apology be lea the car at Oxford street.

To the Editor of the Brooklyn Eagle There ia a story of a man who at an opera expressed to persons sitting behind him a wish that Patti would stop singing. On their asking why, he said, "Because her voice prevents uic jrum uiBuuttijr Hearing your cuuvcrBauon, wmcn you seem anxious all around you should listen to." At the Academy on Saturday I was reminded of this anecdote by the behavior of ayonng man and woman in the left paiquette BeatB, who, though silent between the acts, kept up, all the while Rlstori was on tbe stage, a running Are of audible comments on her acting, thereby scriouBly interfering with the comfort of a dozen people in their vicinity. People who cannot whisper ought to hold tbeir tongnes at a place ol amusment, or stay away. Their conversation may be very entertaining, but tbey should remember that other people may prefer to listen to (he stage, and, at any rate, cannot enjoy at once what ia uttered in the scats and on the stage.

A. d. On Saturday the defence in the 'case ot Callicot rested, as did the prosecution, leaving the Court a good equaro Sunday In wbich to 'prepare its elaborate charge, and tho Jury a day of rest in which to make np their mind, and get ready for the terrific elocutionary onslaught of Messrs. Jenks and fitongh ton, and tho ponderous pregnancies of His Honor Judge Nelion. We shall present a sketch of to day's proceedings in our later editions, and give full reports oi the speeches to Doubtless the audience that wiU aisemhle to hear Mr.

Jenks excoriate the informers will be immense. after the bbcess. Mr. Tracy eaid: If your honors please, I deem it proper before the defendants close their case to call their attention to the construction of the statute applicable to thlB case, so that 11 they desire any further evidence they may introduce it, and cannot claim they are taken by surprise. Mr.

Tracy then read from section 24, of the act of 1886, in regard to the approval or distillers' bonds, and continued: Now, the point that I desire to call the counsel lor defendants' attention tola this: From some ol the evidence which bas been given here, I assume that they are to argue that Mr. Callicot had no responsibility in regard to these distillers' bonds as they were taken Form 33 waa executed before Mr. Allen; but we clatm that he cannot relieve himself from responsibility, and that he is responsible officially, criminally, and in every other way for the distUlers' bonds that were received in that office. Mr. Tracy offered In evidence the letter from Mr.

Callicot to A. J. Dayton, dated June 17, requesting him to produce the books, ot Wilson's warehouse, at bis office. Mr. Tracy added that Joseph G.

Ward had testified to having received the letter from Mr. Callicot to deliver to Mr. Dayton. It waB admitted. Mr.

Tracy also offered in evldenc'o a circular letter of instruction lssned by the Commissioner of Internal Revenne, dated May 13, sent to Mr. Callicot, who received it May 15. The letter called attention to the frauds in the District, and to the vigilance required to suppress them. Judge Nelson did not think It was rebutting, and ruled it out. Mr.

Tracy then S9id that he wished to call AuiraBtus Dayton thiB morning to rebut the evidence of Ward to the delivery of lhe letter In evidence. Mr. Jenks objected. After some discussion His Honor, Jndge Nelson, said be would not allow the evidence, but should consider the case closed on both sides. The court then adjourned till 12 o'clock this morning.

The "Weather and the Game. The individual who manipulates the water spouts aboveseems to have set his lace resolntclygalnst ball playing this season. We were coDgratulatfDg ourselves In the early sprirg, over the bright prospects of an early base ball season to be Buro, the game was opened early, hut we were expecting' to see ball play iu lull blast long befor.e this. It 1b said that within the last.twen ty lhreo cays, there bas been but two pleasant days, days, that were favorable to lhe game. Bright weather, when it docs come, will be all the more welcome, and the ball players will enter Into the sport all the more heartily.

It will take several days of continual fine weather to put the ground in a suitable condition, for this continual dampness has well soaked it. One would think that lhe clouds bad by this time, dropped their rain and that we sbonld onceaaaln be enabled to catch a glimpse of the Snn'e face. Please, Mr. Jupiter Pluvius, plug up the water spout, and uncover the sua. Westward the Star of the Empire.

Our tour prominent clubs of the East, all caudldatcs for the championship Atlantic, Mutual, Athletic and Union ClnbE are preparing lor a trip to toe WeBt, in order that the men may have a severe and systematic coureeol training with our WeBtern brethren, previous to entering upon, the great contests in Ansunt and September next. The games that will be ployed will be rich treats to our irieudB out West, and undoubtedly many points, now not known to them, will ba learned, and doubtless our boys will up several them BelveB, for the Western men aie possessed of a great deal of individuality and are apt to mark out their own couree. Above all, don't think at any onetime, that yon have got "a soft thing." There is nothing "soft" about the Buckeye and Cincinnati clnbs, of Cincinnati, or about the Excelsiors of Chicago. News from the Atlanltcs will be anxiously awaited by the thousand and one base ball playerB of Brooklyn. It is tho intention of all the four toretnrn without loMng a bail very probably the Atlantlca and Mutuuls will be successful, but it is doubtlul about the other two.

Mutual akd Atlantic Clubs. Of course great interest will centre upon the matches played by the Union Club; but the matches that will attract the greatest interest, taking the place or tbo Atlantic and Athletic matches, which have engaged the general attention for years past, will be those between the Atlantic and Mutual Clubs. It is doubtful if belter nines weie ever gotten together. From the day that the date of playlr is made known until the game is played the excitement will be very great. Look at the incurs they stand side by side.

It is imderstood that Mr. Pratt will be on hand to play in the Enreka match, and here is a chance to Bee the full champion nine Plerrepont Street Baptist Church In augural Sermon by Bev.

Walter W. Hammond. There was a very large congregation assembled at the Plerrepont Street Baptist Church yeB terday on the occasion of the inaugural sermon of Itev. Walter W. Hammond, who has recently received a unanimous call to All the vacancy at tbls church.

The weather did not deter the congregation from appearing, and ev ry Beat was occupied, and much interest was manifested in the services. Tho new pastor is a gentleman of very pleasing manner and affable address, and possesses nis general appearance an air ol earnestness in his work which strikes one ob particulnrlv gratifying and increases the interest or his remarks. He is quite a young man jet, as ho illustrated yesterday, is possessed of rare talent. The subject of bis discourse yesterday wos taken from the 17ih chapter of St John and 17 verse: "Sanctify tbcm throngh tbe truth Thy word is truth." The reverend gentleman prelaced his discourse by lemarling that tbe language wbb one or the many indications ot the deep aDd tender attachment of our taviour to his disciples in view of his departure from them ana ascension to heaven. What was tbe work of Eancllflcation here referred to Tbe meaning we adopt Is, that action by which a Christian may become perfectly holy.

Holiness waa Boul hi althacd needed Itie utmost uttention. "The path of the jus.l was aa a shining light which sbineth inoro and more unto tbo perfect day Iu practically recognizing this truth, the church and individual" Christian flna an element of power, but the pro to ni gleet it was everywhere apparent. Such listless indifleicnce to the trutUDet call ofthe age lor spiritual Growth Is unexampled flnas no oualocy in all tho kingdom of eenticut being, and even the unconscious flowers grow as a veiy necessity of their existence. Let Christians universally heed their lesson. The text teaches tbai lhe instrument of sanctificatlon Is truth.

What is the truth here intended? It Is, firstly, truth as opposed to falsthood. If truta iu combination with falsehood be ever found to work righteousness ic will not be because or, bat la spite of falsehood; it will be becanae or that divine element in tho nature truth which requites It to obtain the taaBlory over every foe. Furthermore, this truth is opposed to the imperfect and shadowy such it is in distinction from the law which is only a shadow of good things to come. It is a beautiful thought that truth is something so marked in its perfection and strengtn that the most Bolld realltieB or earth can bear no comparison with It; reigning supreme in spotless beauty and undimmea permanence, we cannot approach to It with the help ol this world, and are lelt simply to admire and worship It. Again, this truth is of God, "Thy word iB truth men's thoughts are true only as Tar as they are patterned after the heavenly.

Our "little systems" are simply "brokenlights of God." If we inquire after the mode in which this truth operates as an instrument iu eauctiflcation we shall find that it is adaDted to men's varions wants.

rnuaaeipuia, Upon one Bide is represented America, about to pkee a laurel crown upon the brow ol a sailor kneeling betore her, while in tbe distance, to the left, is seen a vessel, and to the rk'ht the CudIIoI. The inscrlntion surroucdlne reads "Testimonial of national irrailtudo for his gallantconauct," and "By joint resolution of congress tue rescuers oi tne paESe ngera, olllcera and men oi roe sieumsuip can rancisco, wrecked December. 1853." Upon the other Bide is represented a man and wo the ocean, and in the distance a vessel coming to their rescue, the whole betng surrounded by a cordon of Slurs. The circumstances attending the wreck of tho San Francisco were, perhapB, the most distressing known to the annuls of the ocean. She was crowded with some seven or eight hnndred passengers, five or six hundred of whom were officers and soldiers of tbe United States, with tbeir wires and families, on their way to ana iae acinc coasc.

one lore tne poit of New York In the month of December, 1833, and npon the 84th of that month was overtaken by a most terrible storm, which continued without Interruption twelve or tnirteen days. Tne steamer became unmanageable and entirely at the mercv of the winds. At eight o'clock in the evenlnir the sea broke over her and canied to the depths of tbe ocean nearly 180 of iue uuiuieru auu pacscijgen, ana some oi tne women Upon the 1st day of January, 1854. the vessels Three Bells, Captain Crelgbton, of Glasgow; Captain Stouffer, and Kllby, Captain Low, hove in sight. These vessels bad been scarcely able to outride the storm.

Their crews had been night and day at the pumps to keep them afloat, and their stores and water bad been eo much reduced by lightening their Bhin, that starvation literally stared them in the lace Fortunately for the San Francisco, her signals were seen by the captains or these vessels, who Blood on and off the wreck for six consecutive days, until the Btorm abated and they conld eo communicate with the sinking hulk as to give hope and encouragement to her ae eponding hundreds, who momentarily expected to go to the bottom, but who finally were rescued by the bnmanc officers and men ol the neighboring vessels. For this brave condnct it was resolved to present each captain an appropriate medal as testimonial or national gratitude for rescuing COO Americans from the wreck of tbe steamship, and besides to give to each ofthe captains $7,600 to eacb of the mates $500, and to each boy or man $100. The latter has long, we believe been rendered np, and the medals are sow completed. Captain Stouffer, ofthe Antartic," Is a resident or Brooklyn, and we were glad to see him this morning hale and hearty, and good for any number of trips to come. He called the good ship Antartic" eleven years after the deed recorded above, and has piled regularly between New York and Liverpool ever since.

Captain Crelgbton, or the Three Baip," Is on the other side ofthe ocean, and Captain Low, ol the bark Kllby," is long elnce dead. The Artists and tbeir Pictures. Several new pictures have recently been placed on exhibition by artists 1b thlB city and New York, many of which are worthy of notice. Martinez. Mr.

J. Martinez is known in this neighborhood chiefly by his very clever picture The Odalisque," wbich was exhibited, some time ince, and was then made the subject of very extensive criticism, both In the way of censure and admiration. Whatever may be said about this Individual work there can be no donbt that this gentleman la very clever In painting human flesh. He has now In bis studlo'some very Interestlne Cuban aketches, wbich it Is to be hoped he will work into finished pictures. Hope.

Mr. J. Hope has just finished a very effective picture representing an autumn scene in Vermont, near Castleton, The scene is oased upon an actual sketch, the main feature of the painting being a row of trees in the foreground clothed In all the beauty of autumnal trnts. Mr. Hope Is also just finishing a scene ftomlthe Yoaemtte valley.

The apot chosen iajuat below with the Yosemtto river conning Into the middle foreground. The picture 1b a very successful one, giving a very truthful representation "ot the pecoUar atmospheric phenomena characterizing the Pacific ilope. Katjlbach. One of the most notable warks of irt recently exhibited is Kaulbach's "Eraof the Reformation." This great cartoon has for some time since been on exhibition at Avery's Art Gallery. The large canvas is completely covered; eighty figures, including Luther, Harvey, Shakepeare, Wlllam of Orange, Bi con, Hubs, Machlavelli, Savonarola, Calvin, and Copernicus are brought together in a large cathedral, the interior of which Is entirely ideal and so ma do in order to accommodate Itself to the wants of the artist.

One peculiarity is that the characters are grouped together without the (lightest regird to established chronology. The assemblage 1b one the like of wbich has never been seen on earth, tho peculiarities of the character of each perBon being strongly marked by the daring pencil of Kaulbach. One at first regrets that bo great a work was not pnt in color. On reflection, however, we Bee that this would have disturbed the harmony of a composition embracing so many distlnctgronps. Only by the plain and Bevere treatment observed in the cartoon could bo many great heads have been presented without detracting from tho central conception which underlies thlB work and gives to it unity of purpose.

As It is a contemplation of the cartoon, revives our recollection of one of the greatest eras of history; gives distinction and reality to the conceptions derived from reading, and preBentB to us whatever is grand and heroic In this unprecedented movement of intellectual and religious activity. The picture deserves close and continued study, as it is one of the great efforts of the present century. Walker. Mr. Walker's great historical picture of the battle of Gettysburg, representing the occasion when Longslrcet's famous charge was met and successfully resisted by General Hancock, Is rapidly approaching completion.

The picture will be one of Mr. Walker's best works, and will, when exhibited to the public, warrant and receive much public attention. Patjwels. "The New Republic," painted by Ferdinand Pauwels, a Belgian artist, has been for some time on exhibition at Miner and Barker's gallery, 845 Broadway, and has gathered together large crowds ol tpeclators. The object of this large picture is to present, by means of a group of figures, the relations of America with the nations of the Old World.

The United States is represented by a female figure, around which are grouped Washington, Lincoln, Grow, and Henry Ward Beecher. The portraits are not remarkably faithful, but still give the features of the persons represented with sufficient accuracy to ensure recognition. The details of the picture are most minute and elaborate, and challenge close inspection. Sontag. At Knmdler's gallery a large landscape by Sontag, called Morning on the Alleghaniss," hoklB the place cf honor.

ThiB landscape is a very effective specimen of Sontaq's peculiar power, and is every respect worthy of the artist's reputation. Chromo Lithogbaphs. At the studio of Mr. Bradford in Tenth street there is on exhibition one of the moat beautiful specimens of chromo lithography ever shown, which waa executed in Berlin. It is a copy of Mr.

Bradford's Crushed bv Icebergs," and is so marvellously executed that it Is difficult to bring the mind to the belief that it is not a painting from the artist's own hand. The main point of excellence is the appearance of artistic freedom by which It is characterized. It is stated that Beard's well known Old Woman that lived in a Shoe is to be sent this year to Berlin to undergo the same process at the same establishment. Prang. Of the many chromos in the market, we are disposed to concede the palm to those from the houEo of Prang lu Boston.

"The Easter Morning" to which we have relerred, the "Strawberries" and half a Ecore of others whose names do not occnr to us, are specimens of wbich the moBt advanced European houses might well be proud. We leain that ohnson'B "Barefooted two pirtnres by 3. G. Brown, two by Geo. L.

Brown and others are in preparation at the mammoth establishment in Boston. Flowers, fruitand landscapes are specialties in which the Messrs. Prang havo attained deserved preeminence. Hart. Mrs.

Teresa M. Hart's "Easter Morning" has been very excellently reproduced in chromo Ulhpgrapby, and has consequently attracted much attention. Of the picture we have already spoken in high terms. It is a very effective and pleasing picture and fully deserves reproduction, It is slated that another of Mrs. Hart's really excellent works is to undergo the same procesB, which will deservedly introduce it to many who will be glad to obtain copies of it.

It has been stated that Mrs. Hart is a resident of Boston, but we are proud to say that she is a resident oftbiscitr, and that she was well known here as an artist previous to her marriage to Mr. James M. Hart, the landscape painter, and President of the Brooklyn Academy of Design. Gtjdk Hans Gude, a well known European artist, exhibits at Goupil's gallery, a large painting entitled "Norwegian Mountain Scone." The plcturo is a very powerful one, representing the gray mists creeping down the volcanic heights and resting on the pines boneath.

A mountain torrent is represented leaping among the rocks which have been thrown about by the mysterious agency of the volcanoes which is spanned by a rusl'C bridge. The picture is worth a visit. EoniE Robie is exhibiting some very beautiful flower pictures at the various galleries In New York. All of thtm are characterized by tasteful grouping, and careful choice of colore; aud boh flowers and fruit are marvellously natural.

This church opened a new mission in the chapel ot tho HomeforDcBtiluteChlldrenby a service held at that place yesterday afternoon, and notwithstanding the unfavorable Blate of the weather, the congregation was not Only very encouraging In numbers, but entered npon this new work with a Eplrlt which if sustained, mutt erjsnroitB complete success.

Rev. Dr. Burgess who will give this Mission his personal services hereafter preached an appropriate opening sermon from the text. Worship the Lord in tho beauty of HoII nees," PealmSQth chapter and 2nd verse. The hour of Bervlco Is, until farther notice, 4r.

The Democratic party is the only political or ganization which the conservative men of the country can now rally around with the assurance of being able to bring Radical misrule to an end. All the indications favor the opinion that the leaders of the Democratic party are Jully sensible of the momentous responsibility they are about to assume in selecting a candidate who will fairly represent all who are in favor of the perpetuation of a Constitutional Republican form of Government in this country, Every honest man will admit that no inconsiderable sacrifice is demanded in asking a political organization to disgard the "claims of men who remained faithful to it through good and evil report. In a mere political campaign such a concession could not be reasonably asked. But the approaching contest is not a mere party struggle. If the people endorse the Radical party next November ita leaders will be emboldened to throw off the mask, and to abolish popular government altogether, under the plea of a "temporary public necessity and their policy is certain to provide such a necessity.

Nay, they will be justified taking this step. A party may survive repeated defeats, but the Democratic party cannot survive the substitution of the rule of the party administering the government tor the fundamental law of the land. Nor can the Radical party be kept together a month after the people shall have declared that the Constitution of the United States must be accepted as the supreme law. The result of the spproachiDg election will mark an era our history. It will determine whether the old government is to be continued or abandoned.

The Conservative journals lise to the level of their duty, and fairly represent the great majority of the people, in calmly discussing the claims of any candidate suggested for the Presidency in opposition to the Radicals, keeping in view the all important fact that the man upon whom all honest conservative citizens can unite is the man to nominate. The friends of the respective candidates Buggested are taking steps to test public opinion in advance of the July Convention. General McClellan will arrive in New York on the cvetif the meeting of the Convention. He has declined a public reception from the city authorities, but he cannot escape an impromptu ovation from the people, for McClellan has a stronger holder on the veterans of the war, and upon the masses than any other man living. Ho may not be the most available candidate, but his friends can commend a fair consideration of the points which will be urged in his favor.

It is understood that Gen. Dix will also return before the Convention meets, and he has in all probability already tendered his resignation of the French Mission. Though his nomination is not urged by the politicians there is a strong feeling in his favor among men who agree on the main point that the man to nominate is the man who is morally sure to be elected; and Dix is believed by many to be that man. By his nomination the responsibility for success would be thrown on the Democracy, and that is more than can be said of any other man named, with the possible exception of Mr. Chase.

The strongest argument urged against Dix grows out of his connection with the arbitrary arrests of citizens during the war. The Democrats seem to be willing to forget everything in the past but this disgraceful business. General Dix's friends say that they can show that he attempted to temper the hateful policy of the Lincoln Stanton Administration in this respect, and that the Washington satraps were finally obliged to virtually supersede him in New York in 1804, by Ben Butler, a willing instrument of tyranny. Mr. Chase has more friends among the Democratic managers than Dix, and the meeting held in his interest on Saturday evening, under the auspices of Oakey Hall, is believed to be a feeler on the part of the Tammany Sachems in his favor.

It is contended that Mr. Chase could split the Republican party in the centre, and that the slavery question being settled, he is now prepared to stand on a platform which no Democrat can object to the Constitution of the United States. General Hancock is known to be desirous of receiving the nomination. He is personally popular; the war has brought forward no abler or braver man. If he could be pltced side by side with Grant betore the people one look at the two men would settle the question of which ought to be preferred.

If the women had a vote, the stately commander of the Second Corps would be selected without a serious contest. There is no fear of mistake being made in the Convention if the present excellent temper of the party prevail its councils. All good men have the same end in view, and in consideration of this fact we can well afford to be tolerant of each other's opinion while we are reasoning together. How are the Mighty Fallen. The Radical politicians, who clamored six months ago tor Gen.

Grant's nomination, as a thing essential to save the party from the destruction its wickedness and folly merited, are surprised by the little enthusiasm which follows the work of the Chicago Convention They attempt to account for the general apathy by intimating that Grant was so certain to be selected as the candidate that the people discounted their gratification in advance, and in this concession admit that the capital of a campaign intended to be carried by a hurrah is exhausted before it opens. The truth is the old Republicans the men who voted for the party from conviction and not to secure the spoils of office are sorely puzzled to know if the Republican party has yet made its nomination for President at all. It is true that a set of men met at Chicago the other day, and called their assemblage "The Republican National Convention." But what kind of a Republican Convention is that of which Dan Sickles failed to be chairman by only one vote? which was run by such parasites of the South, when the South had power, as John W. Forney, of Pennsylvania, John Coco. rane and Lyman Tremaine, of New York, Jack Logan of Illinois, and Ben Butler of Massachusetts, who voted fifty three times for Jeff.

Davis for President in the Charleston Convention of 1800? An old fashioned Republican, might look in vain among the delegates at Chicago for his associates of other days. Seward, the foremost representative of the jmrty when it was struggling for victory, has long ago been thrown aside. Chase, who brought Ohio to the verge of resistance to the Federal authority for the principles of his party, is a later victim, as is Fessenden, who, as the chosen champion of Republican doctiine in the Senate, was sought out by the brilliant Benjamin of Louisiana as "a foenvan worthy of his steel." Evarts, Trumbull, Dixon, Doolittle, Adams, Grimes, the men who gave the Republican party a character for statesmanship in its early days might be sought at Chicago on Wednesday last and sought in vain. The section of the Mountain has brought the Girondists to the scaffold Political adventures lave taken the place of statesmen, and the Chicago Convention offers to the country for its Chief Magistrate a man who never entertained a sincere conviction on a public question, and if he did, could not give expression to it. Sickles, Logan, Cochrane, Fomey and Tremaine may represent a section of politicians, but the Democracy are too generous may they have too much respect for themselves to believe that the'par ty which three times contested with them on equal terms before the people is fairly represented now by the turkey buzzards whose place is not in front but la the rear of contending hosts.

Sated. December 2, A fire unusually destructive even for New York, the city of magnificent conflagrations, yesterday burned up pler27, North River, the propeller Ocsanua, and other property, of the aggregate value of over $500,000. The moBt celebrated achievement of the late Oceanus a staunch and comfortable steamer of aomo 1,400 tons was the safe transportation to Charleston and back of the company of Brooklyn and other citizens who assisted at the raising of the flag on Fort Sumter just after the conclusion of the war.

Of her passengers three of the best known have departed George Hall, John A. Cross, and William B. Bradbury. The funeral of the late Colonel Dyckman occurred yesterday. The 1st Regiment oi National Guard paraded ae escort, and there was a considerable civic procession The burial will take place to morrow In Courtlandtown, near Peeksldll, On a pott mortem examination a large buUet waa removed from the left lung where it had remained for twenty two yeats.

The Colonel brought it with him from Mexicot and carried It through the campaigns of the late war. His death did not resnlt from the wound thus inflicted, but from Bright's disease of the kidneys, a disorder of increasing frequency. Some time ago there was a match for the sheep dressing championship. On the 9th of next month there will be a cattle killing contest in New York. Thomas Costello and George Kiernan wUl each kill and dress five steers, and the one who first finishes his job will take whatj may be called, without putting too fine a point upon it, the beef stakes of $2,000.

Judge Eussel, it is said, will be presented with a testimonial on his retirement. Hi9 term of service on the criminal bench of New York has been notable for eomo severe judgments. He sent a highway robber, who stole but six cents from his victim to Sing Sing for forty five years. The punishment was regarded as excessive, but quite effectually checked the growing crime of garotting. In the Church of the Divine Paternity yesterday Rev.

Dr. Chapin took formal leave of his congregation for several months. He will improve the vacation in a European tour. During his absence his pulpit will be occupied by several ministers to whom he urged the people to give faithful attention. Sandwich Island papers confirm the reports of the earthquakes and eruptions at Hawaii.

The lava of Manna Loa burst through a three mile fissure and flowed twelve miles to the Bea, wherein it formed a solid promontoiy half a mile lowr. On the 27th of March more than a hundred eaithquakc shocks occurred. The 00 feet tidal wave submerged churches and houses, killing 100 persons and 1,000 horses and catlle. The gases issuing from the earth openings destroyed animal and vegetable life. England is in a hanging mood just now, and Fenians who anticipate lenient treatment will be disappointed.

Simultaneously with the announcement of the execution of Prince Alfred's assatlent comes the report that efforts iu behalf of Barrett, the Clerkenwell conspirator, have failed, and that he will go to the gallows at the expiration of his respite Hostility to Fenianiem is fully aroused, and as the Canadians sympathize iu the antoganiem it will go hard with the prisoner Whclan unless he can satisfy a jry he did not kill D'Arcy McGce. Determined Suicide TUe Coarse of True Love, Last night, at about 11 o'clock, a man named George Wright, aged 25 years, who resided with his parents at the corner of Myrtle and Portland avennos, attempted to commit suicide by stabbing himself in the abdomen, ne succeeded in infUptin" a uiguiiui vyuuuu uyiju uiiuDcii. mc cause oi tue anair cinbedies a story of love, dissatisfied parents, and is quite interesting. Young Wright it appears was a soldier in the army and subject to much sickness. His physicians "dosed" him with quinine to such an extent that his parentB claim it has affected him mentally and made him at limes rather flighty.

A little episode like this with A CRAZY LOVER posBesses considerable interest. Wright was a man of much talent as a plaster cast moulder, and did the or namental huslncsB for his father for whom he worked Borne time since. Wiight conceived quite a passion for a young lady named Flannagan, who resides at the corner of Lafayette and Navy streets with her parents. The tender attachment was reciprocated, so the story goes, by both mother and daughter, in as mucli aa Wright was in tho babit of laying his pecuniary carnmgB at me leet ci Mb fair inamorata. however, caused the parents of Wright much thought, and to stop his folly in this respect the father refused to famish irim with the money he earned.

This greatly incenEcd Wright, and he became desperate. Bat first of all he importuned his father to come down," but the latter refused to do so, and turned him off. Mat ters thns went on until last night, when Wrigbt again visited his dulcinea, and made love to her. To her he swore that his life was one of misery, told her that he cculd not live witLout her, and swore on hia bended knee that inasmuch as hl3 parents were adverse to his union with her he had determined on suicide, and at the same time pulled out a knife, such as is used by plaster cast makers. Maty immediately became terribly alarmed, hut before she could command assistance, Wright had plunged the kmle into his abdomen, inflictiDg a ghastly wound, from whisJjehiB entrails protruded.

With afsietance Mary conveyed bim to his residence, where he was yet desperate, and determined upon cutting himself apain. A Mrs. Jno. Hjman, Wright's mother, and Mary attempted to get the knife away from Wiight, and in the struggle the hands of Mrs. Hyman and Mary were pain, fully cut and lacerated.

The people iu the neighborhood notified the police, and Officers O'Brien and Davcy, of tho Forty fourth Precinct harried to the spot, and removed Wright to the hospital where he now lies in a critical coudition, and thus for the prc cnt stands the love romance of Navy street. The Twenty first Ward. The new ward the 21st is about to organize a Chase and Hancock Club. The prominent movers are Peter Bagley Wm. J.

The appointment is veBted in the Common Council. Attempted Rpbbeby. A little after nine o'clock last night, a man named Thomas Hodgson while walking aloDg Bergen etreet, near Clove road, toward his home, was accosted by two unknown men, who demanded his watch and money. Hodgson only stopped to reply that he bad neither and started on' at the top of his speed, and ran on until he met Officer Sergeant, of the Forty Dinth Precinct, to whom he related the facts, and gave a description of the men.

The officer gave cbaBe and arreBted a man whom ho thought answered the description. He took him to the Stalion houee, where Hodgson appeared but failed to identity the man, and he was accordingly set at liberty. The New Military Enrollment. The Board of AeeessorB thisjnor ing completed their arrangements for taking an enrollment of all the able bodiid men in the city between the ages of eighteen and forty five, under the new rlftary code. They started out" with a corps of assistants, early to day.

They do not intend to let the grass prow under their feet, as by tho termB of the law and the necessities of the case the entire list for the city must be completed by the lBt of July. Fishing Excursion. A numerous party of officials and others have juBt left the city for a three weeks'fisbing excursion among the streams of tbe Adi rondack region. Aniorg them are both the Hugh McLaughlins, Street Commissioner Furey, Judge Troy, Assemblyman Mallison, Mr. Frederick Massty, County Clerk John G.

White, Messrs. W. A. Brown, Nelson Sbaurman, Wm. Davis, Cbtjelty to Animals.

A man named Thomas S. Churchill, aged 23 years, was arrested this morning by Officer Campbell, of the Forty third Precinct, on a charge of having cruelly beaten two horses over the head with a club. The horses were attached to a cart loaded with pork. The cruelty was witnessed by Mr. William D.

Clinton etreet, who made the complaint. Churchill was locked np to answer. a Prolific Hen. A few days ago a hen belnnsing to Patrick Reilly, a stableman in the employ of Mr. Jonathan Moore, of Greenpoint, hatched sixteen chickens, wbich are all alive and doing well, out of thirteen eggs on which she sat.

The hen, which is kept by Reilly at. his house in Dnpont etreet near Union avenge, has not only a trick of laying double yoked eggs but of hatching twin chlckcnB.thorelrom, American Baptist Home Mission Society. This eoclety meets to morrow morning in the Oliver street Mariners' Baptist church. Meeting from nine to ten o'clock led by Rev. A.

B. Earle. Annual Sermon at ten o'clock by Rev. J. F.

Elder, of Orange, N. J. Able men from the Pacific coast, from the Sonlb, lrom the West, and from the East have engaged to speak during the meeting, which will last two days. McAllister's Hop, for which so much preparation is being made by the fair and festive disciples of Terpsichore, will come off at Gothic Hall, on the evening of Thursday next, not this evening, as was stated by mistake on Saturday, the doings of the society are shielded by a pledge of secrecy has enabled the politicians who, ns is now apparent, organized it under false pretences, to pretend that they control the votes of the returned Eoldicrs connected with it, but the parly leaders who promise these fellows fat places for their supposed influence had better keep in doors when the cows are around, tor they are so green that they may be mistaken for the ordinary food of herbiv erous creatures. In the most part the officers of our armies who di their fair share of the fighting keep clear of politico military organizations.

Whoever heard of Sheiman, or Hancock, or Slocum pretending to be the custodians of the votes of the men who fought under them? The ellows who, by virtue of their supposed in fluence, are pestering every man who is supposed to have any weight in politics for any place which happens to fall vacant, from tide waiter to collector, and lrom letter car. rier to postmaster, kept clear of villainous saltpetre, and never saw the man under fire whowon military Brevets for them, from the day they marched with them to the front to the time the fighting was over and the returned veterans were about to be received with a becoming welcome by their fellow citizens. There are Brigadier Generals, not a thousand miles from Brooklyn, who sought office and got it too, who led their men down Fulton street and up again some years later, and who never performed any service more dangerous Diarrhoea was. the only enemy they pretended to encounter, and political flank movements the sole strategy they practiced. It may be questioned if any private soldier has ever secured a particle of advantage from these political military societies.

They are reckoned as so many cyphers, taking their value from the unit that pretends to speak for them. It may as well be understood first as last that, as the returned soldier is now a citizen, bearing all the entitled to all the advantages of citizenship, he will vote as iu his judgment the interest of his whole country requires that he shall vote. In a legitimate way he is prepared to render due honcr to the men he followed during the war, but he is not yet ready to follow the example set him by the darkey at the South, and to vote to order at the dictation of any man. General Grant's vote counts one the humblest private soldier's vote counts just the same, and in casting it he assume3 just as much responsibility to his conscience and his country as Grant does. The political military men wlio meet in Conventions, got up to order for politicians, and who pretend to control anybody's vote but then own, arc doing their best to bring disgrace upon their comrades and we have assurances that in this city at least a public rebuke will be administered at an early day by the veterans of the late war the bone and sinew of our armies who will not stand quietly by while the officers whose authority over them has ceased are attempting to make a profitable trade by pretending to be able to barter their votes to the highest bidder.

The vicissitudes of theatrical management have beem illustrated in the Williamsburgh Opera House. This establishment has used up a score of managers; it has been tried in every branch of the business, from the negro minstrelsy to the ponderous blood and thunder drama of the Bowery. But it won't pay. The last manager was a Mr. Magle, who tried the house for three or four weeks, and came, like all his predecessors, to necunia jy grief, to the grief likewise of his numerous creditors, who according to the Eastern District Times are left in the lurch.

The same authority recounts a scene not set down in the bille: One of the actors, who'probably had a landlady's bill to settle, asked Mr. Magle for money. The unreasonableness of such a demand so irritated the impecunious manager that he drew a knife and wanted to stick the unfortunate actor. The Police were called in and tue sanguinary manager made his exit under was subsequently released on promise to pay the unfortunate actor, the little knife business being forgiven. This private rehearsal of "A Manager in Difficulties" led to the dismissal of the audience and the summary closing of the house and the Williamsburghers will be deprived of the drama until some other manager with sufficient cash or credit can be found to undertake another season.

A Fnbllc Meeting Under Difficulties When Mr. Bergh, the friend and protector of the brute creation, started a Branch So ciety for the Prevention of Cruelty to Ani mals, in this city, we feared the enterprize would not amount to much unless it should discover some single hearted enthusiast like Mr. Bergh, who would devote his whole time and energy to the work. Brooklyn has not produced a Bergh but the Society has developed a Mudie, of whom Brooklyn has cause to be proud. We present Dr.

A. Mudie, Secretary of the Brooklyn Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals, as a gentleman of wondrous resource and capacity for overcoming difficulties which would be too much lor ordinary minds. To justify this encomium we must relate what Dr. Mudie did. On Friday evening the.

first anniversary of the Brooklyn Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals was to be held. The Society boasts of a considerable membership, and in its list of officers we find the names of its adoption. Dr. Bennet seconded the motion. The President then delivered an address commending the purpose of the Society, commenting on its labors during the past year, and complimenting the Secretary.

The motion of Dr. "Mudie was then put, and the Secretary's report unanimously adopted. The meeting then proceeded to elect officers of the Society for the ensuing year, and chose a full si. from President to Corresponding Secretary, and likewise appointed an executive commit tee. The meeting was exceedingly harmonious, and if there had been five hun dred persons present the business on hand could not have been done up more satisfacto rily.

Dr. Mudie has demonstrated a very useluf idea, that tor all really necessary purposes of a public meeting two men are as good as a thousand. Butler's latest investigation touching im peachment has fizzled. His friends have made up a cock and bull story" to the effect that he has found a man who knows a a man, who is acquainted with another man who heard still another man say that it he is not mistaken he heard a man declare in Washington that money was used by the President's friends to secuie the defeat of impeachment. Butler tries to fall easily.

He is evidently bottled up again. The impeachers are not sure whether they will take a vote oi not to morrow. There is an encouraging change in the weather, one fine day in four is a decided improvement. Hitherto the average has been four clear days in a month. A weathcrwise writer is afraid that we are going to have a hot, dry summer.

Fortunately, we are pre pared to stand agood deal of hot dry, weather. It is just what is wanted. All the fools are not dead yet. A man named Charles Ockford has undertaken to go over the Falls of Niagara in an india rubbsr boat of peculiar construction. He thinks he can do it and escape destruction, and if he does anotber fool proposes to try it.

No conceivable benefit can be derived from such a feat, even if it can be accomplished in safety. But the chances are fifty to one that there will be one tool less left in the world if Ockford should try his experiment. Topics of To day. The Australian sensation is at an end. The Pcnian Farrellwas promptly and remorselessly disposed of.

No time was allowed for the procuring of a pardon even if the Home Government had been inclined to interfere. Farrell was hung on the 2M of April, while the Prince he tried to kill sailed for England, entirely well, and in command of his ship, the Galatea. The Coroner's jury in the Jefferds case found that the murder waj committed by the convict Burns, alias Brick or Brickley, and that the convict Whittington was accessory to the act. The evidence was direct and positive. A convict testified that a week before the murder he heard Bnrns threaten to kill Jcfitcids with an axe he bad in his hand, but the latter also having one he was not attacked.

On the c'ay of the murder the same convict saw through the window of the hayloft Burns striking something with what appeared to he an ax. After the murder another convict overheard a conversation between Whitting ton and BurnE, in which the latter, in reply to a ques. tion by the former, said he hit Jefferds hard because ho meant to Mil him. The elemental convulsions which have startled the people of other countries, insular and continental, in the form ol volcanic eruptions, earthquakes end sea bores, touch ns of the Great Kepnblic lightly. In this latitude they take the mUd butmonotonous and tedious shape of a great deal of wet and cloudy weath.

er. In Florida they are rather more sensational. In Hamilton county, a few days ago, two acres of land suddenly sunk, water appearing in its place. Any ap. prehension that Ibis phenomenon might be connected In some way with the performances of Mauna Loa and Vesuvius is removed by the explanation that neighboring streamis which have lost way thns fores an outlet when sufficient head is gathered.

Still the in halltants of Hamilton connty must feel some cariosity, not wholly unmixed with anxiety as to where and when the next break will occur. In San Antonio, Texas, last weeE, an unprecedentcdly tremendous hailstorm destroyed several lives and half a million dollars worth of property in half an hour. Preparations are making for a foolhardy exploit, which in surpasses any, the boldest, ocean voyage yet undertaken, or Blondm's rope walk over the Falls of Niagara. Charles Ockford, of Detroit, who distinguished himself by skating sixty four proposea to descend the Fulls In an India rubber boat, of an oblong shape, with eight fset diameter, and containing when closed sufficient air to sustain life twenty minutes. In this the novel navigator will take Mb place on a seat swinging on a pivot from a shaft.

A email cable will be fastened to the boat and extend below the Falls, for the purpose of towing the craft ashore after the passage shall have been made. II Ockford comes ont of the carrcnt alive he will receive $30,000. It is said a vigorous effort will be made to persuade the Legislature oi New Jersey to abolish capital punishment. That State has erven the theory of blood for blood a fair trial of late. Murders hare been abundant, and murderers have swung without distinction of sex or color.

"They're hanging men and women there" very freelv, but Btill acts of violence have not decreased frequency. The discontinuance of the gallows might practically illuminate a much debated question. Sensationalism in names is largely cultivated by people who clatm the public eye and ear. A dramatist of life's darker side comes on the stage with Doubly False," which prepares us for a startling revelation of the diobollcat in human nature. Another calls his play Hearts, or Serpents of Society." The realization of this serpentine suggestion In five curdling acts and thrilling tableaux cannot fall to excito emotion.

As a slight relief to this heavy bnelness, the man who invented An Hour at the Piano" announces "A Spring tide Feast of Song." On Saturday night, at the Fifth Avenue Hotel, was held a meeting which had for its object the nromollon of the nomination of Chief JnnticA nRhnnfm. President by the Democratic National Convention..
