Tho Uniques' Convention for tho nomination of a candidate for Senator in tho Second District, last evening at the headquarters of tbo Gonoral Committeo, Fulton street, noar Myrllo avenue. Mr. Henry F. Broslln, of tbo Fourth Ward, was elected Chairman, and Mr.

John J. O'Mara, of the Second Word, was olected Secretary. Aftor the usual preliminary Mr, Luko O'Reilly, oi tho Ninotcenth Ward, moved that tho Convention procood to tho nomination oi a candidato fot Senator, which was agreod to. BPEEOn Or JAME3 W. RIDGWAY.

Mr. Jtmeo W. lliugway, of tho Seventh Ward, then Mn.

It is essential, geutlemon, the interests of Kings County, as well as to tho in tercala of tho Democratic party, that we should send man to represent us who is not only capable of representing us, but who la well known aa a Demoorat a mau of standing and infiuonco. The Constitution of thin State required tbe Sonste and Assombly tn pass a bill reapportioning tho Senatorial aud Assombly Districts of tho State aomo two years ago, but the Republican mombers of the LogiBlaturo at that timo do fcatod that Constitutional by defoating thoy have deprived the Couuty of Kings of a just fair representation in those two brnnchea of tho Legislature. The County of Kings 1b really entitled to teou Assemblymen and throe Senators whoreaa wo now havo but nine Assemolymoa and two senators. It also ol tho greatest importance that we should send two Douiocrats to tho Senate for this reason. A now State Botml of Assessors will be appointed within tho terms of our representative, and the appointment of Democrats will socuro to Kings County that equalisation in the matter of State taxation whioh is now denied it.

It has been tho praotlce of tbe present State Board of Assessors to docreasa tho rate of valuation in Bopubhcan strongholds and to increase It In thoao portions of tbe State whore tho Domooraoy aro in tho majority; therefore, it is important to every tax. pnvor in this couuty to promote the elootion of men who will exert thomsolvos to right this wrong. Tbo gontlouiau whose namo I shall prosont Is one whoso tnfluonoa will be largely exerted and felt Id that (Urootlon. An aooompUahsd lawyer, a cultivated gODtloman, a publio spiritod oitizon, bis nomination would not only be a recognition of tbe younger nomocracy of the county, hut would be reoolvod wllh satisfaction by the oldor members of the party.

William Lloyd Garrison has arraigned President Hayes' polioy in a letter to Judgo Pitman, tbo Prohibition candidate for Governor. He says wiihnnt imnnrminu the motives of the President, nay, according to him the beel iuteatioD, 1 regard his polioy aa a flagrant betrayal of the trust so confidingly committed to his hands; as In violation of his pledges to see full protection secured to all classes at the SoulD, without regard to complexion or distinction, and as fraught with' incalculable mischief rejoicing, aa It does, the hearts, stiongthening the hands and facilitating the plans ot the Southern conspirators against law and order, liberty and equal rights. It indicates a childish eredulity, a blindness of vision, an imbecility of Judgment, equaUy surpriaing and deplorable, and the BepuWioao party cannot sanction It without Impeaching its entire ooutbb from the opening of the Rebellion to the olOBfl of President Grant's Adminlatra tion. The Democratio party Justly olaims It as Its own, and is Jubilant accordingly.

It la cause for deepest humiliation that tbe Bepcblican party in Massachusetts, at its State Convention at Worcester, wont baok upon its patrlotio record and gave its unqualified approval to this shameful surrender to the demands of those whose feet run to evil, and who make hasto to ned innocent blood. A disorderly orowd of sailors assembled vestorday morning in front of itveral boardlDg houses in Oliver street and Old slip, and in their rago broke a number ot windows and threw stones and sticks against ths houses.

first Ward. There was no primary in this ward, tho Committee who were appointed to name a candidate hiving ooaoluJed to postpone aotion for a few days. A large number of voters, who were ignorant of tho the corner of Henry street and t. ian where the orlmary waa advertised to take place, and were disappointed at finding the polls vacated, Seconal War a. There was a spirited contest in this ward, but tho rosult of tbe voting showed that tho large majority of the ballots woro on one side.

It was ox poctod that William Dwyor would be in tho Sold, and bis friends were disappointed to find that the opposition to tbe Sterling tioket bore tbo namo of Washington flarrigan. Tbe latter, however, it is Bald, only acted as a flsure head for the Dwyor interest and will not be beard ot 00 eleclion day, tho real being be tween Sterling and Dwyor. Aa a proof that tbe latler intends to run, it may be stated that his posters were extensively distributed through the ward last night. Associated with Harrlgan on the ticket was Patrick Higgins for Countable, but both were defeated by vote of 049 to 179. Fourth Ward.

Tho primary in this ward was enlivened by a contest. Wm. H. Johnson for Aldorman aud John Morris for Constablo running in opposition to Kobort Blaok and Noyes A. ParsoaB, the regular candidatos.

The only trouble was oocaaionod by the dlBordorly conduct of Wm. Begley, who had too much gin aboard and was unceremoniously bouucod Into tho Flrat Precinct Station House by Officer Koboe. Dr. "Tullamoro" Henderson, the Bepublioan candldata for Coroner, had the au Jaoltv to take hi3 position in tbo lino, but whon he reached tho bailot b3i tbo inspectors refused to acoept bis ballot on tho ground that ha waa not a Democrat. The doctor protested but to no purpose TLoro wero about 400 votes oast, of which tho Black tioket received over four flf tba.

Fifth Ward. The only contest in this ward was over the nomination for ConBtable, John Cullen being the only candidato for Supervisor. The contestants for thj minor honor were Patrick Bellew and John KsmuBs, aud the latter provad victorious by a small majority. Sixlb Ward. One of the largest primaries ever held in the Sixth Ward took plaoe last evening.

Tiie reason for this outpouring of the Domooraoy was that John Dobbin and Jamos Kane were candidates for tho Aldermanio nomination. It was pratty generally believed up to noon of yesterday that John Dobbin would not go to iho primary, but would be an Independent candidate on election day, and, on the other hand, Alderman Kane would be renominated at tho primary without opposition. Although Mr. James Dunne, who is tho leader In tbe ward, mado no p'edgo nor hinted that he favored Kane, it waa supposed that he would not oppoBO him. Dunne and Kane have not apoken ainea tho latter voted tor Commissioner Flaherty, who removed the former from his position in Department of City Works.

At noon yesterday, however, Mr. Dunne oame out openly against Kane and in favor of jonn uoodid. ivauua friends and tho other leaders of the word wore greatly surprised, and entered a most vigorous protoBt against the nomination being given to Dobbin. Hon. Dominick Boobe expressed himself very emphatically and candidly on this change of front, whioh he deemed highly discreditable and unmanly.

He reechoed tho feelings of others whon ho Informed Mr. Dunne that neither he nor any other mau oould mako him and four thousand voters of the Sixth Ward stand on their heads at his beck or nod. Supervisor Byrne, who la one of the best workers in the ward, that he considered it was a mean, dirty triok to play on Kane, who hadbeon led to believe that ho was to bo renominated, and now at the eleventh hour, when there was Boaioely lime to rally the voters at the primary, Mr. Dunne informs ua that he Is In favor of Kane." As Dunns could not be induced either to support Kane or drop both men and take up a candidate that would be more acceptable to all, Hon. Dominiok Bocha, Supervisor Byrne, Mr.

Martin Brscn, Mr. John Camp bell, Mr. P. Keonan, Mr. Clyne and others duteriatned to d'o Ihe best they could at a short notice for Kane.

Going down into tbe ward, they worked among their frionds and sympathizers, and in a romarkably short timo succeeded in getting about two hundred men in lino Borne lime before four o'clock, at which hour, ac cording to ft resolution 01 tue uemooraiic ueuerai Committee, the polls were to be opened and voles received. It ia said, howover, that a majority of the inspectors, acting on tbe advice ot Mr. James Dunne, peremptorily refused to receive any votes until five o'olock, and th delay, it Is further alleged, was oaused for tbe purpose of giving Dobbin time to rally his BUppoiterB. The primary was hold at 181 Union street, in a small office attached to Collins' livery stable. Tho tiekota were pased through a largo window to Peter Fagan, one of the inspectors who held It until tho voter's name and address were taken down and then handed It to another hiBpector who sat opposite and placed It la a hat box through a hole cut roughly In tho cover.

The line of voters extended from tho window down Union Btreet toward Hicks and wa protected by a posse of about seventy policemen. The Kane men peddled white and rod tickets, tho Dnhhin color was white. Though there wis an Immense orowil of men who advocated the claims ol tbolr respective candidates from the opening to the o'loslns of the polls, and at times were greatly excited, no blows were struck. There was order round the polls and along tho line of the voters, whioh was mainly due to the vigi lanoo and numerical force of the police. Tho crowd was divided up into large and small groups of Demoorata who discussed the situation as their feelings prompted.

Hera was a strong Dobbin man holding forth muob after this manner: obn Dobbin 1b a poor man and ought to bo sent to the Board of Aldermen, and we'll send him too by a sweeping majority." A Kane sympathizer would reply that "Kane waa a better man, and aa true as steel to his friends. There wasn't a mean bono in his body." Another would speak up and soy: "I don't care a fig either tor Kane or Dobbin, and had made up my mind that I would not vote for Aldorman at all on electloa day. But when I hear of the dirty triok that hat been played on him by bringing John Dobbin In at the eleventh hour to beat him out ot tho nomination, I oan no longer he neutral In this flght, and so I am for Kane and fair play." BtiU another manifestation of popular feeling took this shape: '1 was for John Dobbin," said tho oitizen, "until I heard that he was going to this primary at the dictation of Mr. Dunno. Ho announced himself as an Independent candidate, and as such we pledged our selves to support him.

I am out for Kane, and will do all I can for his election." "I am a Dobbin man still." replied Mr. Jones, "though I think he acted foolishly In coming to this primary. I am afraid ho will lose a great many friends but wUl be elected, nevertheless." Those aie fair Indications of popular feeling in the Sixth concerning the primary of last evenicg. A BOW OVEB THE COUNT. The polls were closed about eight o'clock, and a long lino ot voters were debarred from voting.

It seemed as If not less than thirteen hundred persona had voted, but there waa an impressiom that it made very little difference how many voted or what ticket they supported, there would be no nomination. When the polls were closed, the rival factions cheered lustily for their respective candidates. Alderman Kano announced to the crowd that though ho had, in his opinion, beaten Dobbin ten to one on a legal vote, the nomination would not be given him. Dobbin men, on. tbe other hand, said that their candidate had beaten Kane ten to one, bnt the nomination would not be given him.

Meanwhile the inspectors to tbo room proceeded to count the ballots. Tbe public, however, couldn't see what was going on. Presently there was an uproar, the door flew open and it was seen that the hat box was on the floor and the tickets were scattered au arouna. WHAT PBTEB FAGAN STATI8. Mr.

Peter Fagan, one of tho Inspectors, gave the following account of what transpired in the room "Before we proceeded to oount the votes, Alderman Kane proposed that the two candidates bo allowed to bo present at the count, and ho Kne) was prepared to abide by the result of tho primary. A vote was taken on (be proposition by the Inspectors, who Tejectedlt, I voting la favor of it The next thing saw was an attempt to stuff the ballot box with three or four hundred Dobbin ticket.

The police prevented bjowa from being and the crowd, when they hoard what had been with the tickets, peacefully disporsca. As no nodiinatiOD. could be made under the circumalances controversy will be carried to the General Committee for solutionj SevenfU Ward. In the Seventh Ward Primary, for the nomination of a candidate for Supervisor, three candidates were voted for. The proceedings wore orderly, although there was considerable excitement about tbe place.

Tbe total number of votes cast was 720, which Edward S. Hazlott, received 392 George Malcolm, received 119, and John MoFadden, rocelved Mr. Hazlett was declared the nominee for Supervisor. Jacob Mann was nominated for Constable. Elffbtb Ward Mclntyre Victorious.

The novel Bpootacle was presented in the Eighth Ward last night, of two primaries in full blast Eyan mon voting at ono, and tho Molntyre men at other. If this did not mako harmony, it certainly insured peace. Neither party could agreo on the plaoe holding the primary. Tho result was that each held its own primary, tho Eyan men going to Hall and the Mclntrre men to No. 749 Third avenue.

John Qulnn headed the Rjan ticket as candidate for Alderman, and Bernard H. Farrell for Constable. On the other side, Molntyro, of course, ran for Alderman, while on his ticket there was another contest between Peter Black and Bicbard H. Bioo for the nomination for Constable. Quiun had four of tho regular inspectors aud Molntyre one, and eaoh had three their own solectlon.

As the rival factions were voting ae7eral blocks apart, there was no disturbance, everything passed off quietly. The Molntyre primary opened at 2 P. M. and closed at 8, and tbe Quinn nrimarv waB held from 5 to 8 o'clock. The result waa Mclntyre's crowd returned 1,169 votcB, and Qurnn votes.

The Goneral Committee will decide to mgns which primary they will recognize, but tbo contest will fought out at the ballot box on election day. The vote in this ward last year was 2,766, of which (Dem.) received 1,249, and McGrath (Rep.) 11ST Schmidt (Ind) receiving 220. Tho total registration yoar was 2,017 J3)ovonth Ward. The primary in the Eleventh was the hottest the memorable Giddinga Oampbell oonteat, some years ago. There wero tbroo candidates for tbo nomination for Supervisor, Colonel John B.

Meyan borg, James Hyde and Pulaski C.J Wilson. Meyenborg the Commandant of the Fit toenth Battallion, and is engaged in tbe liquor business, on Fulton street. Hydo a contractor, and also part proprietor of Yolks Garden the vnrletv theatre on Adams street. Wilson is a estate agent. Tbe Inspootora wero Philip Duffy, Thomas Hatton, John Coff je, W.

V. Babcock and Frank Fstrell. Duffy alone waa for Meyenborg, the others being for Hyde, who is one of tbe "boys," and was backed by the rounders of the ward. At a conferonco between tbe Inspectors before tho primary, it waa agreed that the candidates should be allowed to be pres during the voting." The pulling place was In the toy and oandy atoro tho southwest corner of Willoughby and Navy streets. The box used wag a wooden one with a glass front, and the votes were received through a window on the Navy street side.

An hour beforo polls opened the corners there wore orowrted by tho friends ot tho candidates anxiously awaiting their opportuaity to vote. Woll, THE POLLS OPENED and the votlDg commenced. Hyde was in the room with tho iuspeotora, hanging over the box and minutely examlulng every ballot that was cast. The crowd on the outside inoroasod until there must have been a thousand pooplo there, and rough assemblage It was. The Hydo mon wore largely in the majority.

They oame not only from tbo Eleventh Ward, but it is alleged from tho Second and Fifth and Eastern District, and crowded tho Meyenborg and Wilson men away. Scores of young men said to be from 18 29 years of age voted and tho four Hyde Inspectors allowed it. Duffy protested, but in vain. The amount of repeating waa said to be great. Ono hundred and fifty votes' wore reaoivod purporting to represent Democrats residing on a block Oh North Portland avenue, where there are not thirty gonuino voters.

This state of affairs progressed for some time, but finally Duffy made a determined protoat. Tho crowd outside became more turbulent, and throats of violonco to Duffy were made on all Bides. Duffy retired from tho room, but roturned In a few moments. By this time the crowd had become so die orderly and notoriously inolined that very many men who canio.to vote for either Meyenborg or Wilson woro afraid to Jo so and left. A number of fights ooaurrod.

At last Duffy suddenly seized the ballot box and hurled through tbe window. A cry of rage arose from the crowd and a rush was mado for tho room whore the in spaotorg were. A hundrod voicoa shouted "Save tbo box I SAVE THE BOX!" Tbo box was aoved. Officer Strong, of the Fourth Preclnot, one of the policemen on duty thero, picked up Just outside the window. None of the ballots woro lost.

The orowd broke into tho room, howling and blaspheming, and threatening vengeanoo upon Duffy. The police Interfered, arrested Duffy, and took him to the Myrtle avenue station. A hooting mob fol lowed them up there, and some ruffian threw a atone which struck Duffy on the hoad. Ths reserve force was ordered out, and hastily repaired to the primary, In tbo meantime, the pollco ofllcors who remained there, with drawn olubs, and, some say, rovolvors, forced back the crowd, and the voting was resumed. According to the statement of a uyatandor, at one.

timo TBTRTI BEPEATEBS were doing all tbe voting. Colonel Meyenborg and Mr. Wilson quietly withdraw from tho primary, and for tho last hour and a half the Hyde men had it all thtlr own way. Duuy wa roieaseu oy tuo ncrgoaut station, there being no charge against him, and returned to tho primary. The polls olosed promptly at 8 o'olock, and the oaunting of the votes went on.

The result was annonnoed as follows Hyde, 420; Meyenborg, 172; Wilson, 80. The matter will be bofore ths General Committeo to night. Twelfth Ward. Trouble was anticipated in tho Twelfth Ward between the adheronts of tho rival candidates. ex Alderman O'Boilly and Aldorman Donovan.

Captain Bollly mado ample preparation, being on hand himaelf with twenty u.en. The police formed a line ihn for half a block on street. and the voters had to march in aiugle file between tho police and the building. VotiDg began early and waa lively. In tbo first hour 380 ballots wore cast, whioh was rapid work considering that tho name and residence, real or assumed, of the voter had to bo recorded.

O'Eellly had the InBpootors, and tho other aide admitted that he would win at the primary. Donovan eaid that he was only thero to nivo them a little flght, but he had no oxpeolation of carrying tbo primary against the men at the box. Both ho and his friends alleged trrosa frauds iu repeating and in tne admiBslon or votes from persons not living tne ward or in tne city, Donovan made to O'Reilly, so the former says, a prop, osttion to rota from the registry, which the latter declined, on the ground that the registry of this year waa not printed, and that of last year would disfranchise voters. On the other hand, Mr. O'Reilly and his friends said they had never seen loss repeating.

Donovan 00m plalued that any of his men who wore challenged woro not allowed to vote, while a chalionae of au O'Boilly vote produced no effect. The voting passed off very qulotly. A very large orowd tho largest ever known at a primary In tbe ward was proseut during the entire four hours. The result declared was: O'Reilly, 994; Donovan, 151. Donovan proposes to appeal to ths General Committee flrat, and to tho people at the polls on Elootion Day.

TUIrtecmli Ward. There were three tickets in the field at the Thirteenth Ward Primary for Supervisor. The throe oaudldates for tbe nomination wero William H. Manning, William H. Richardson and John T.

Ruuoie. There was but little interest exhibited in the result. Manning received the nomination. Fourteen tb Ward. Contrary to expectations there was no opposition to the nomination of ex AIdorman Kenns at the Fouiteethn Ward primary.

A rumor prevailed during the forenoon that Bourdon would not enter the primary, but Kenna's friends alt tho same were determined to poll a largo vote for their candidate. When the pons opened two lines of votera waited to deposit their votes. Thero being no 0 pposltlon in the Aldermanio nomination the interest centred on the Constv bios. The two candidates were James E. Burns and Hugh McKeever, tho presont incumbent.

The contest between them was close and exciting. The result was in favor of Burns by 84 majority. Konna polled 1,059 votes in oil. Fifteenth Ward. At the Fifteenth Ward primary there was an exciting contest between Peter F.

OulUnan, Edward Tyrroll and George BedoU consequently, some lively working of tho line of voters was attempted at tunes. An effort to crowd in a voter, at one time in particular, instigated the only affray of the evoning, resulting In an oxobange of blowa botween two opposing partisans. Aside from that there was no disturbance. Mr. OulUnan won by a plurality vote over both his competitors, receiving 837 to 183 for Bedell and 116 for Tyrrell.

Sixteentb Ward. The unprecedented vote aggregating 3,623 was cast at the Sixteenth Ward primary laat evening This aroBe from the faot that there were Ave candidates in tho contest, each of whom, aa a matter of course, did Mb utmost in marshalling his friends in his support. Two of the flvo strove for the Aldermanio nomination, and the remaining three for the less honorable position on the tioket as the regular candidate for Constable. L. A.

BlendcrmBU and Henry Haneelman for Alderman, received respectively 3,532 and 1,001 votes. For Constable the oount otood aa follows Charles Sutter, Philip Schmitl, 1,502 Bertges, 602. The count was not concluded untU near two o'clock thia morning. Seventeenth Ward. The primary in this word was conducted in an entirely friendly spirit anu a uwgo vote mi polled.

Hugh Zobles and Matthew Dalton wore con tMtantB. each of waom developed the fuB strength of his following. With the result, which was In favor of Mr. Zqblea, Mr. Dalton is understood to acquiesce In view ol the faot that after poUing a very large vote he waa fairly beaten, Eitrbieenih Ward.

The contest, if such it may be termed, in theFJuhteenthWardwasof the jug handle sort, hoinir verr much one aided. A total of 661 votes were uoUed. of which Charles G. Treshman reoaivea 57S, leaving his antagonist the beggarly number of 82 votea. There iMrjot a single instance 01 disorder.

Daniels ran an opposition the success! ul candidate in this ward, and polled a tairvote, Mr, Krogsgaard la very popular with the German element and will receivo its support on election day. Tweutr fourth Ward.

The primary in the Twenty fourth Ward night was romarkable as being the liveliest aud hotly contested over held there. Tho polling was on Troy avenue noar Warren street, and tho utmost exertions of Captain Kaisor, Serceant Master and half a dozen ofllcors from the Twelfth Preoinot required to preserve order. The numerous friends the rival candidates, Jonnison and MoKinny, displayed enthusiasm which occasionally degenorated Into bolsteronsness, and during tho evening It was found necessary to mako three arrests for disorderly oonduot one for Intoxication. Tho disorderlies wero James Powers, Simon Heaney and Dr. Boss O.

Sidney who were taken before Justice Semlor and reloasod on bail, while James Gerraty wsb looked up in a cell in tho Twelfth Preoinot Station House, as ho was too muoh under tbo influence of liquor to tako caro of himself. About a dozen wagons ware employed during tbo evening carrying loads of voters to the polling places, the usually quiet Twenty fourth Ward enjoyed tho novel sensation of what tho boys callod a "real hot time." The Inspectors were Terence J. Smith, Jno. H. Smith, Boger B.

Mullen, Michael Eogera and John Moran, who performed their duty in a manner satis, faotory to both parties. When the polls closed the box opened In the pro3enco of Captain Kaiser, Ser geant Masterson, Alderman Jennlaon and the Eagle reporter. Every effort had been made to una air. aio Kmny, in order that he might be presont, ana alter waiting flf teon minutes it was ascertained that he had gone home, and the counting was therofore proceeded with. The result was aB follows Goorge Jonnison, 265; Wm.

No UeptiDlicnii Woiiiiiinfiou in tbe Tilth District. The Fifth Republican Assembly District Convention mot at five o'clook last evening, in pursu anco to its motion of adjournment on Saturday night All the delegates were prosont. Mr. Isadore M. Bonj tho Chairman, presided, and Mr.

J. Ketohum, acted as Socrotary. Aftor the roll wsb callod It was moved that a vote be takon, and the vote when tnkon stood preoisely tho same as it bnB done during the last sixty odd ballots which hayo been jjat by thij, Cgnventlo' namely, John H. Barti 10; Colonel W. W.

Stephcnaon, 10. Fourteen ballots wore tuken last night altogether, with the same rJsult. Mr. Kime. of the Bevftnlu Ward, said it was to ballot any further, as it dtd not appear as though anything oould bo dono.

Tho Seventh Ward delegates were determined to stand by John H. Burtls. Mr. Beoro, of tho Twontietb, said that if that was so waa no good for any moro ballots to bo taken, and ho added, "we can hardly, in the faco of that threat" JJr. Fitohie (Seventh) That was no throat, sir it it merely a statement of fact.

Mr. Beers Well, wo will not vote for John H. Burtis, and for my part I thluk wo had better wind up tho nvontion and refer tho case to tbo Goneral Committee. If tho Seventh Ward are rosolvod to this course thore is no use of our wasting timo hero. Mr.

Fitchio We of tbe Seventh claim tho right to namo iho oandldate on tho strength of a former agreementby a tacit understanding, in fact between the Twontiotb and Sovonth Ward mon that we should havo tho privilego of naming the man. Tho Twentieth Ward has had tho nomiuation lonir enough. Mr. Manchester, of tho Twentieth, Bald ho had been niicvmrisimjpl in the nrosa in tbo aocount of tho last meeting of the Convention. When ho said that "he wouldn't give way" to tho Sevoutb, and would etiok, ho inoroly said Itin a Plckwicwau sense, ana consequently he mado a statement in oHoot that ho did say juit what was published, but didn't mean it.

Mr Mnnsnrnn CSpVonthl atod that tbfl Twentieth Ward mon had nothing against Mr. Burtis, but eimply wautod to roturn Mr. Stephenson and no ono else. Ho considered it a matter of simple equity that the Sovonth Ward men should be allowed to make tho nomination. Mr.

Bulwinkel (Twentieth) said that for his part his opposition to Mr. Burtia was einoore and ho thought it tho duty of each delegate from the Twentieth Ward to gat up and declare himsolf in the faco of tho assertion mado by Mr. Mossorop. If Mr. Burtis was nominated, Mr.

Bulwinkol was Balleilod that he would be boaten. Ho had talked to many Bopiiblicana about tho matter and he found that a very groat number wero in deadly opposition to John H. Burtis. He had in fact been told something, by a prooaluout Bepublioan, about Mr. Burtis which had cot boon heard bofore, or rather which he for one iiad uot heard, and be did not think it was yet widely circulated, of something that Burtis had dono at Albany that was fat moro damaging than anything which had yet boon alleged against Mr.

Hle pbenBOii. Mr. Fitchio (Seventh) Well, what Is it Let us boar it. A Twentieth Ward member here mado a motion to adjourn. Mr.

Fitohie No, sir, wo will not adjourn. I for one want t' ia mnttor brouqbt out Who wjs tho man who gave tho information 7 Mr. Bulwinkel I fan oaslly tell that. Mr. Fitohie Thou tell It.

Let ua hear It, and what the mailer is. tApplauBe.J Mr. Bulwinkel finally etatofl publicly that It was Bipley Eopea, whereupon the Hoventh Ward men laugbod. Mr. Bulwinkel got mad and said that his oharaotcr was well euoujh known, and aa for Eiploy Hopes, big word bad noYor been yueatlonod, and bo bad made a cortaiu statement about Mr.

Burlis whioh was not only damaging, but in tho opinion or the speaker, suaoeptiblo of proof. Mr. Fitohie Then out with it no half charges. Mr. Kano (Seventh) If tho charges ars sound wo will veto auainst mm.

Mr. Bulwinkel You will 7 Then I think that tboy oan be easily voriflod. Mr. Fltchlc Let us have them. Mr.

Powers (TweutietU) Don't givo tho matter to tbe gentlemen here; djn't let it go to tho proas; give it to thara privatslr, if you will, but uot publicly. Mr. Bulwinkel In deference to tbe winhes of my colleagues I nhall not give the statement here. Mr. Knue Then baro it taken from the reporter's minutes; tt'a uot fair to attack a man behind hiB baok.

Mr. Mosactop It scorn utterly Impossible for a delegate from the Sevonth Ward to aay anything uoleas hit words are inlsooustrued by the gontlemen from the Twentieth. I said that tho Twentieth Ward waa not Blnoore in opposing Mr. Burtis, and the proof of my assertion Is in this You stay by him tho time, you don't want to roturn any one but Mr, Stephenson. My statoment, theteforo, was eimply a statemont of faot.

It was no Imputation on any delegate or upon tho candidato. Mr. Bulwinkol For ray part, I am slncore with regard to Mr. Burtis, bocauso I that if h9 is noni timtnrt ho won't be elected, and we shall lose the dis trict. I am also sincere as regards Mr.

Stephcnaon, for I belle vo ho will bo elected. Mr. MoBsorop arose and unfolding a copy of the Eaoxi, read with great deliberation, an editorial artlole therein headed "ifalr play poiuioB, or no poaira, TTn catd that he didn't take his nolllloj lrom tho EAGLE, and as far as he was concerned ho bollovod Mr. Schroeder to bo an able mau and a man who had faithfully represented tbe interests or tho Bepublioan party and of the taxpaying citizens of Brooklyn, and tbe only ironhle iihiiut Mr. Schroader la that he was not renom fnntnri tnr Inn MavnraUv.

If I thought that any Republican took his politics from the Eaolx I should Bay that he was not fit to tako a placo in Ibis Convention or in the Ward Association. I have not beeu battering Mr. Burtis; I simply oamo hore as a delegate from tho Twentieth Ward and to advocate Mr. Btephensou'a claims, and In doing so I believe that I am looking alter the proper interests of this Assembly District, and tar that matter, of the oity. The Eaqlb dooBn't love me aud I know It, and I don't caro whether it does or not.

Mr. Underwood (Twontielh) said that he for one desired to state his position; he would not vote for John H. Burtis if ho sat in tue Convention until November 6. Laughter. Mr.

CONGRESSIONAL SUMMARY. 850 new bills were introduced into the House of Representatives yesterday. They were an referred to committees. In the Senate a number of bills wero also presented. In the list of bills are a great number of a private nature, for the relief of all sorts of olaimants against the Government.

All tne uorner iie uavu numbers of cltixens who tbiuk the Government owes them money. Mr. S. S. Cox introduced a Silver bill, whioh in effect extends the present subsidiary coinage system.

The amount of Bllver coinage under this act is to be limited to $35,000,000, and au tne pronts arising from any difference between the market value of bul Bon and the nominal value of the cotn Is to accrue to tho Government. There were as many as twolva bills introduced of this kind. Among other bills introduced was one pro viding for a permanent government for the District of Columbia. It is an old bill rodressod, and Is In effect the measure prepared two years ago by a commission employed for that purpose of which Mr. Dorman B.

Eaton, of New York, was chairman. Among the most important subjects to be considered during the present Congress, are those relating to bankruptcy, and several bills, proposing to repeal all acta relating to bankruptcy were introduced. The plan of relegating to the States all jurisdiction over the subjoot, la proposed by a number of ths members. General B. F.

Butler introduced a bill to repeal those sections of the Revised Statutes known as the Tenure of Office act. Bills for the repeal of the tax on deposits In national banks were numerous. The Army Appropriation bill will not be reported before Thursday next. Mr. Abram S.

Hewitt offered a bill to provide for the iepreaentation of the United States in the ParU exhibition of next year. It was referred to the Committee on Foreign Affairs. Mr. Frye, of Maine, introduced a bill to revive the Court of Alabama Claims, for tbe purpose of disposing of that portion of the Geneva award which sUB remains in the posaotaion of the United States Government. Mr.

Fxyo also proposed a bill to extend the jurisdiction of the Court of Claims, and to amend, the present laws providing for an oath of office. Thora is enough work laid out in billa now before Oongtau to keep totiraly it work (or 0 long time to come. In Tort of 1,500 that until no at ber his ate his In 1 usolesB i This Paper lias he farces, circular rton of any Jiremnir rnper Published Jin (lie Vultod states. It value as an Adveriisms Medium In Uierolora ap Ktaxem. Some 'Nominations.

Mr. Hayes has niado nominations for Now york Gtty, as follows Office. Nominee. In plac? of. of Porl.Theo.

Roosevelt. Chester L. Artliur. Surveyor E. Morritt.

Officer L. Bradford Prince. A. B. Cornell.

Those nominations are neither representative of "reform" nor satisfactory as political expressions. Sir. Roosevelt will not make so offlcient a Collector as Mr. Arthur has made. To tho new school of "politics" he is vory much likely to prove more tractible than Mr.

Arthur has to the old. It is the old Btory of putting a man with no public experience in the place of one who has just attained to considerable usefulness in office. Mr. Roose velt is about as fit to be Collector now as Mr. Arthur was four years ago.

Of Mr. E. i A. Meiritt it is not possible for the publio to make any mistake, nor can it be possible that the Administration has made any. He is a Teuton Republican in all that that term im plies.

We do not think that Reuben E. Fen ton is so "good" a man as Roscoe Conkling, either in the prayer meetiug or in the prize ring sense of the word "good." As a man's voluntary servitude is likely to be on the side of his qualities, we do not think that Mr. i Sharpo's willing dittoisin to Mr. Conkling is ho reprehensible as Mr. Merritt's abject echo ism of Mr.

Fenton is. In capacity, cultiva tion and a robust avoidauce of hypocrisy, Mr. i Sharpo ia Mr. Merritt's superior. Now as to the Naval Office, we wish all the newspa pers of this State were in a condition to speak the truth.

There is no more necessity for a Naval Officer in New York than there is for au Inspector of Refrigerators in Alaska, or for a Commission for the Pre servation of Mosquitoes in the Jersey i Marshes. The maintenance of the office is the maintenance of a sinecure. Under our Government, sinecures have no justification except they be tolerated for the support of gallant but impoverished soldiers or for the "encouragement of learning" through the oc oupatiou of them by some sterling but needy author. To stuff a trading machine politician into them is to add another offense to the offense ef their existence. Mr.

Cornell's incumbency of that Naval Office has been a wrong he has done his reputation aud the taxpayers of the United States. Mr. Laflin's incumbency of it before Mr. Cornell was the same thing. Mr.

Prince's accession to the place would bo a greater affront than the occupation of it by either Cornell or Ivnfliii has been, for Cornell aud Laflin never pretended that politics meant to them anything elso than to get as much oay and power for as little work as possible. Now, Mr. Prince has never cut so frank a figure as that. He has been a reformer by profession, and in that capacity he has had some luck in gluing a Democratic dissent to a lolid Republican minority and converting tho wholeinto a majority. For a gentleman who has boon not only tho friend but the bully of virtue, to head up as a willing nominee for a scandalous sinecure is disappointing to all who have invested in the untrue outwardness of Mr.

Prince. It is not at all surprising to us, nor is it angering to us, for wo have always regarded Mr. Prince as shrewdly and wilfully accomplishing, by reform, exuotly vhot less profusely professing politicians accomplish by the old fashioned ring math ods. At tho day of judgment, Mr. Prince will undoubtedly be a goat, but until then his counterfeit presentment of a sheep eaunot bo surpassed.

It is equnJlocl by few and excelled by none. Mr. Conkling will make a stiff fight to reject Mr. Prince and retain Mr. Cornell.

More power to Mr. Coukling's elbow. Such agitation as he can make will draw attention to the scandalous nature of the office itself, and there is nothing in the relative or direct claims of either politician for tho place to subtract from the enormity of continuing it at alb We notice that nn honored representative of this State, Mr. Willis, of New York has introduced a bill abolishing Naval flics altogether in cities where Appraiserships of merchandise exists. By passing that bi 1 the best commentary possible would be made on Mr.

Hayes' effort to harness tho reform wagon to Mr. Prince and turn them both around within the four corners of a sinecure. Personally Mr. Prince and Mr. Cornell are both known and esteemed as good fellows, and wo would be very much diverted if we could ascertain and print exactly what Mr.

Cornell thinks of himselt as a "representative of the "officeholders' rights under the Constitution" aud exactly what Mr. Prince thinks of himself as an instance and an apostle of "civil service reform." The nominations propose a trade of one sort of personal politics for another, a swap of Conkling bossism for Evnrts bossism, but as we live in an age when it is sinful to Ho and be found out, let us all be as chary of importing reform into the business as possible. JTJorshetiiior. Among tho speeches delivered Inst night at the Tammany ratification meeting, that of Lieutenant Governor Doralieimer stands out conspicuous for breadth of view, depth of conviction, sound democracy and felicity of expression. The proposition to disfranchise the poor men of our cities aud the theft of the Presidency were the chief topics he discussed.

Ab to tho disfranchisement proposition, wo quote from his speech the following passage showing the effect it would have Wo were told the other tbatbut few vpill be tlia froucblBOd. I have been infonuod (bat mrethnn one holt of the voters of New York and Brooklyn will bo dlffranohlsed by it. I care not how many nor how few I know that under thii law men will be difllran chisod without reference to thoir qualifications.

Turning from the ethical and sentimental Bide of the question to the facts involved in the case, Mr. Dorsheimer showed, as the Eagle has repeatedly done, that the debts of our great cities have not been rolled up by any action of the poflrer voters, but by men who contrived means for making such voters voiceless in the chief enterprises. Referring to the assertion that by disfranchising the poor, economical nnmicipal government would be secured, the orator said England haa become prudent and economic la pro portion aB her BUtlrego has been extended. France has lienor been so saving under universal suffrage.

But lot come tome. The load of debt v.bich reslB upon New Vork how has it been created By tho poople of i tbe oity, undor a system of eelf government, with uoi vatsal BUttrago 7 Not at all That debt was created i dv laws passed at Albiiny, and a to which the oitixous of New York were denied any potential voice.

It is the habit of the weak headed and vain "hoarted advocates of disfranchisement to apeak of the intelligent gentlemen opposed to them as demagogues.

Instead of repeating 80 cheap a charge, it will be well for them to meet the arguments presented against their pet scheme. Let them, if they can, show that the endeavor to create class government in our municipalities is not repugnant to the spirit of our Government, that it doeB not proceed upon an assumption that is fake, and that if carried to its logical conclusion, it would not substitute for manhood suffrage yhioughottt the oountry an oligarchy of "inoney. Let them, also, at their leisure show Why, if wealth is to bo mado tho basis of suf men should not vote in proportion to Home fl ny i ol 71 turn, the the even they aud not of be to is is I i I nnnrAmn. not without some accuracy a parallel was drawn between them the doughty knights of Sir Walter Scott's verse. The North has been accustomed for past ten years to sneer at the nice sense honor, the passionate resentment of.

affront the violent manner of displaying it which marked the true Southern gentleman. And with all his medieval traits he possessed many of those strong, positive and romantio virtues which characterized the chivalry of an long passed. The true Southerner of the first half of this century was a pioturosque and commanding figure in our history. His virtues were as eminent as his faults, and with him have passed away many features of our national character which might well have been preserved had the cost of doing so been less than it was. Immutable laws fix the destinies of peoples, and the dootrine of the survival of the fittest prevailB in nations as in species.

The typical Southerner was rudely swept away by the disasters of war. He made a gallant fight for his existence but without avail and the sur vivors of that generation which struggled manfully and well for the preservation of its local customs are one by one passing away, leaving a new generation imbued with new ideas better adapted to the new oivilization which was carried into the South at the point of the sword. Tho passions and hatred of the strife are now all dead. Only among those who seek profit tho painful reminiscences of these yeafs of bloodshed and mutual violence is the spirit of strife preserved. The mailed hand has been taken from the throat of tho vanquished; new men preserving some of the best traits of their fathers, softened and subdued by a more generous and a wider civilization, aro at work restoring to their country the prosperity of tho past.

The lets and hindrances of prejudice are rapidly disappearing with the decease of those active, whole hearted, but too often wrong headed and unpractical men of the last generation. As picturesque figures, as interesting types of men, we miss and mourn them, but it is impossible to remain blind to the fact that the more interesting and picturesque they are tho more serious obstacles do they become to that practical progress which is required for the complete restoration of the South. '1 he Ward Primaries. The Democratio primaries, for tho nominations of Aldermen and Supervisors in the various wards of our oity, were held last Aldermen are to bo elected in the even numbered wards and Supervisors in the others. It is expected that the Democrats will gain several members in both Boards, and in many wards a Democratio nomiuation is deemed equivalent to an election.

It always happens than when nominations are likely to carry an election there is considerable warmth shown in the pursuit of them, and last night was not an exception to the rule. According to the reports there were two or three tickets run at nearly every primary, and in the Sixth and Eleventh wards there was an exceedingly lively timo. There is a division in the Sixth Ward and another in the Elevonth. The General Committee will havo to settle the Elevonth and Sixth ward contests to night, and in the other cases the aspirants will havo to make their own terms, either at the polls on election day or before then by friendly compromise. There is hardly a possibility that the Republicans will retain their hold upon either of the Boards, but what slight hope they do entertain is based upon Democratic dissensions.

In tho Eighth Ward, for instance, which has a Democratic majority of eight hundred, the Republicans succeeded by three votes in eleotiug their candidate Mr. Arnott two years ago. They will try to do the same or something like it this time if the Mclntyre mon and the friends of Mr. Qiuun do not come to an agreement, and tho case is not improved by showing that Mr. Mclntyre made an excellent Alderman when he was in the Board, and that Mr.

Quinu is a solid self sustaining oitizen. In the Sixth tho Democratic majority is so large that hardly any amount of folly can elect a Republican, but as it is exceedingly difficult to see why a self sustaining citizen should labor hard for either Kane or Dobbin the Republicans are not without hope. The twelve wards in which Aldermen are to be chosen are represented as follows, at present: Ward. 2 Storltng, D. Hlttok.l).

Kano, V. 8 Ariott, B. leGunder, D. li Donovan, D. Ward.

14 Reardon, D. IB Aokor, K. 18 Williams, B. 20 Flo.i0h, II. S2 Frltz, it 24 Jonnison, D.

Of those gentlemen, Sterling, Block, Gun der aud Jenuison were renominated last night and will oevtainly be elected. New men have been substituted for Donovan and Itoardon, and it remains to be seen whether a substitute for Kane will be fouud. It would soem that he must be opposed by the manly sense in his ward, which exaots fidelity to a constituency from a representative. With reasonable management the Democrats ought to gain at least a member in the Eighth, Sixteenth and Eighteenth wards, whioh wcv.lJ give them a majority of four in tbe Board. In the matter of Supervisors it is difficult to see anything to prevent the Democrats from gaining members in the Seventh, Eleventh, Seventeenth, Nineteenth and Twonty fif th.

Should they do so they would have a majority of four in the Board. They may also by hard work gain the Third Ward. The contested wards are at present represented as follows Ward. 1 Ward. B.

5 Qutraby, B. 6 Curtis. D. 7 Fry, R. 9 11 Hoho, B.

18 Strong, R. Ward. 16 3nyder.lt. Clarlt, 18 IHoUonald, B. 21 PhelDS.

B. J3 Nathan. B. 26 Van Cott, B. The proceedings in the Eleventh Ward last night can only be construed as encouraging for the Democracy, on Ben Butler's oat hypothesis when cats fight the result is more cats, and Butler says the same rule applies to Democrats.

Certainly the wildest Democrat must have been gratified last night. That the Eleventh Ward can be carried for the Democracy is proven by the fact that James Howell, has always carried it when he went before the people, and last Fall it gave a good round majority 10 the Democratic State ticket. Tbe committees. Mr. Fernando Wood heads Ways and Means.

Mr. Clarkson N. Potter heads Pacifio Kailrottds. Mr. S.

S. Cox is second on Foreign Relations and heads the Library Committee. Mr. Bliss is well up on Commerce and on Public Grounds and Buildings. Mr.

Chittenden is far down on Banking and Currency. Mr. Veeder is in the middle of the Committee on War Claims. Judge Covert, of the Long Island Distriot, is well placed on the Committee on Publio Lands and stands well also on others. Hon.

B. A. Willis is well np on the Naval Affairs Committee and iB Chairman of the Committee on the Expenses in the Naval Department. Mr. Hewitt is well fixed on Appropriations and will be Chairman of the Speoial Committee on United States Interests in the Paris Exposition.

Thus New York with these and other places shows well. Mr. Bliss is better placed than any Brooklyn Congressman has been for many years. His excellent bnsineas abilities will tell favorably on the Commerce Committee, and on the Committee on Public Grounds and Buildings the often urged and long deferred claims of the third city of the Union to a Federal structure will be ably and persistently, impressed by him. Both Committees are of the first grade in dignity and importance after Appropriations and Ways and Means.

Mr. Chittenden's initial emasculation and subsequent rabidness in pohtics as well as a very unfortunate manner or want of one seem to have relegated him below his expectations. He is on a Committee which ought to do nothing to a currency which needs only to be let alone. Judge Covert is well placed for a new member. Mr.

Willis' pronounced identification with the Naval Committee, is excellent. His great industry, praotical abilities and power of continuous and systematized labor will render him a valuable member for this Naval centre ot the Union. The selection of Mr. Potter to head railroads is Mr. Randall's answer to those who have quoted him as a subsidy man.

Than Mr. Pot tor no one is more anti subsidy. Tho West and South get many Chairmanships. That preponderance can be remedied when the East elects more Democrats than Bepublioans to Congress, In making up his Committees. Mr.

Governor Dorsheimer is one of the younger Democratic statesmen who give assurance to elder leaders that when they retire from field the army will still move forward to success. Nny, there is in the recorded achieve ments of such men a decided admonition to such Democratio heroes as Horatio Seymour, that while they still remain in the front of battle for the people and their rights must look to the laurels won in the past so deservedly worn in the present. Mr, Henry's Acceptance. Mr. John P.

Henry is, we believe, the only man ever nominated by nny political party in Brooklyn for the office of Mayor, who has never been in any way concerned tue administration of her government, and who has had some knowledge of her affairs from practical experience in some subordinate post duty and usefulness. For this reason it would not be fair to judgo Mr. Henry's letter accepting the nomination of his party for the Mayoralty by any such test as should applied to tho utterance of a candidate who might be supposed to have opinions of his own, acquired either from experience in office or from observation from an official standpoint. He is evidently very much embarrassed at the outset in trying make it appear that our local government in a very bad way, while he cannot dismiss from his mind the fact that the party to which he belongs has had control of tho Mayor's office for tho two years past, and of the Board of Aldermen for one of those two years, while the Board of Supervisors has had during two years such advantage as to be derived from a Republican majority. As the candidate of the minority party tho only possible plea which Mr.

Henry con make for his election is, that the majority party is in power and that it is doing very badly. Mr. Henry cannot call on tho voters to put tho fellows that are in, out, without invoking censure on Mayor Schroeder and his own set, who happen to' be in. Under these circumstances Mr. Henry seems to be disposed to divide our municipal history into throe periods.

Up to 182, his starting point of comparison, ho is disposed to admit that Brooklyn did very well indeed, even under al most uninterrupted Democratic rule; between 1802 and 18H ho claims wo did very badly, as indeed was pretty generally the case during iim wiir and over the whole HUU XUllWHlh country, whdc since 1874 we have basked in the mild metallic effulgence of the Schroodar regime and have douo as well as could be ex pected. Mr. Henry was not resident of I Brooklyn for all the period included in his censure, and it mny bo news to him to be in formed that we had two Republican Mayors while tho Democrats had three within the short period which he visits with his severest criticism. Mr. Henry's knowledge of Brook lyu's concerns oame to him second hand.

We nssuredlv cannot find fault with him for taking newspaper statements of them, but we may object that ho has not sought tho best sources of newspaper statement. When Mr. Henry says that "in the ton years from "18(3i to 187t, the debt ot the City of Brooklyn was increased from seven million to forty "four millions," ho can escape the ohnrge of uttering a deliberate and, under the circumstances, a scaudalous and damaging misstatement, only by admitting that he bimself nnthini? of tho subject upon which he is writing, but that he is sure he must have road some such figures as he quotes in Dr. Demas Barnes' defunct nowspaper. Even the Doctor, we think, never claimed that the debt of tho City of Brooklyn was forty four millious of dollars.

He was accustomed to iterate until he began to bolieve it himsolf, that the debt of tho City of Brooklyn and of the County of Kings aggregated something like forty four millions. If Mr. Henry had asked tho Controller of the city and a candidate for Mayor should at least know whore to find this official he would have Rhown him that the pormanent debt of Brooklyn is $2,000,000 not including ton millions of the qualified obligations known as loans advanced for local improvements still outstanding, but including over ten millions of water loan debt, the interest of which is met by the revenues of the Water Department. He would have learned at the same timo that there is in the Sinking Fund of the city very nearly five millions of dollars mainly our own bonds, charged in the debt as a liability, and which is certainly a good asset. As be tween an interest bearing debt, payable from direct taxation, of sixteen millions a quah fied debt of twenty six millions; a possi ble debt of thirty six millions, and an alleged debt of forty four millions there may be no great difference to a man accustomed to the high per centages of profit on specifics, but it does make a great deal of difference to tho City of Brooklyn whose people think that oven thoir present debt, when fairly stated, is still too large, and ouaht not to be increased by undertaking any new enterprises whatever.

Henry would have done better to have comined himself to inflated platitudes, and to trust to his supporters to believe that he is sincere in advo oacy of what he seems to rogard as a cardinal feature of his publio policy, when he says; "I am for a thorough examination of our "sewers aud for curing the radical defects of "our system of draiuage." We are all for a thorough examination of our sewers, and they ought to be examined as often as twice a year. A Typical Southerner Gone. The death of Goneral Nathan Bedford Forrest, at Memphis, yesterday, romoves from this world one of the most conspicuous figures in the late war, a characteristic Southerner and a man of many fine and manly qualities, He was ia many respects a type of that pecu liar civilization which existed in the Southern States some twonty yeors ago, and which oould have given way before nothing revolutionary than the civil war modified feudal win tem fae South produced many nat system ui viral leaders of men, many bright muids aharacters. and General (a LAVA liiMMj Forrest was one of them. Springing as he did from the peaceful pursuits of the plantation iuto a cavalry officer's saddle, at the first sound of tho trumpet, he displayed military qualities which were not anticipated, and by tho dash and rapidity of his movements, the energy and intrepidity he exhibited on many occasions made his name a byword among Northern troops, whom when opportunity offered he surprised and cut to pieces in a small way with startling success.

These ferocious and usually sanguinary performances gained him rapid promotion in the Confederate army, and earned for him anything but an affectionate regard among the Union soldiers, to whom ho taught lessons in vigilance which were not always superfluous or untimely. With all his success as a cavalry officer, and almost a guerrilla chief, General Forrest was by no means a practical or profound thinker. He was very much such a man as Breoken ridge, impulsivo, fiery, hot headed, and as often wrong in his opinion as right. The prejudices of class whioh dominated Southern society warped the judgment of many able men, and the principles upon which the Southern embodied Confederacy was formed wore in the very nature of the leaders of Southern society. The institution of slavery was to them as aaored a right as the freedom of our public schools tons and the passionate unreason of the dominant class fouud ample exponents in Buchmen as General Forrest.

The tendenoy of feudalism, as hasloug since been the development of th material prosperity of the few at the expense of the many and the absolute destruction of intellectual and moral progress. Tho baronial position of the landed propnotors was marked, as might have been expected, by an indifferonco to the milder accomplishments of a more uniform distribution of advantages, and many of tho leading mon of tho country, while shrewd and occasionally woll informed, were incumbered by none of the trammels of education and refinement bluff man sera ware mistaken by ftortheraars for bully and the of and yet ago I i 1 in A Remaritable tetter. The following remarkable letter is published in the Bun this morning. It was furnished the editor of that journal by ex Congressman Jones, of Fayetteville, Tennessee. It appears that about tho time the Eleotoral Com mission came to a deoision, Mr.

Jones wrote to Judge Strong, of the Supreme Court, who was member of the Commission, asking him if believed tho people of Louisiana had voted the Hayes Electors. Mr. Jones reminded Judge that they were both together in Congress both belonged to the Democratio party, and the Judge was regarded, of course, an honest man. To the letter of his friend, Judge Strong replied as follows "Washington, February 25. 1877.

"2Vj Son. George W. Jones: "Mx Dear Sib I was a Democrat whon you ana I wore together In CoDgress. I am a Demoorat now. I hold to all the opinionB the 8tat Rights DemocratB have always held, and wbioh tho aclsnowelaged leaders tho party have avowed up to the present Winter novor moro clearly than In 1878 to 1875.

"I am yours, very W. Sxbono." There can be very little doubt hereafter about Judge Strong's opinion of the merits of the Presidential title. He holds, doubtless with sincerity, that Congress had no power to to behind the returns, indorsed by tho authori ty of the legal representatives of a State, and becauso of this lack of power there was no remedy for "the great wrong of the Louisi ana Returning Board." In other words it is evidently believed by Judge Strong that Mr. Hayes' partisans stole from Mr. Tilden the Electoral vote of Louisiana, and gave it to Hayes, who is now Ailing the great office of Chief Magistrate, whioh rightly belongs to another.

Judge Strong holds that the temporary usurpation of Hayes can be accepted with far greater sofety to the Republio than could the exercise of a great power by Congress which did not of right belong to it. To Democrats there Will seem to be a great deal in this view of the case. Tho plain common sense of the country, however, ran in a common sense direction. The honest masses of both parties wanted tho facts, and they were willing to stand by them. They supposed the Electoral Commission was created to get at the facts and the truth.

In refusing to even consider the real merits of the case at issue, the majority of the Commission soomed to share in the great wrong, through which millions of the citizens of a free country were meanly cheated out of thoir suffrages and their rights. The oredit assumed by the Eagle in it condemnation of Storxs, tho io. ot the es aid tto obopen representative of th 3 D.mcatio part would bo moro substantially nosed if that journal withdrew lw confldonce from Keisel. Union. The Eagle is indifferent to either praiso or censure when it is doing what it believes to be about right.

The Kessel here referred to is Moses Kessel, who is the Democratic candidate for Charities Commissioner. We know nothing whatever which should prevent any votpr of Mr. Kessel's party from voting for him. Nor does our Eepublican contemporary, apparently, except that his name is Moses, and that he is, assumedly, an adherent of the faith of which Christianity itself was the outgrowth. Of this we know nothing either, and about it we oare nothing, for it is none of of our business.

We merely suggest to a newspapor which is "a party organ," if anything, that it is not, from even a party standpoint, wise to insult any class of citizens on account of their religious belief. There are a great many Jews in this oity, and they are voters, too, but if there were only one, and he without a vote, his right to worship God in his own way, and without interfering with anybody else's way, would be clear as against the world. Once before, and not so very long ago either, there were enough of senseless bigots in this county to bring shame upon us by striking at a candidate for high office, because he said his prayers and worshiped his Maker in the way his parents did. We do not hold the Eepublican party responsible for this, although for tho moment it chanced to profit by it, but it is the duty of each party within itself and of each party outside itself to stamp out religious bigotry, for this among other reasons, it is the bulwark of religious error. If the local Kepubhcan organ is not "muzzled" all the Israelites in Brooklyn will be inclined to vote the whole Democratic ticket.

According to the dispatches from Paris this morning President MacMahon has resolved to abandon his attitude of opposition to the majority, and will, between now and the 7th of November, form a ministry agreeable to the Eepublicans. The Kepubhcan majority is 110 in tho Chamber a majority upon which a bolder man than MacMahon would hesitate to make war. It is, however, to be borne in mind that there are 210 delogates chosen in avowed opposition to the Eepublic. The government of France is far enough from being settled. The Eepublic is acceptable for the present to a decided majority of the peo ple, but its opponents have been gaming strength.

Parties in this country and England bear no analogy to the parties in France. In this country and England all parties are loyal to the form of government, but in France the minority party is pledged to overthrow tho Eepublic if possible. This is what makes the 210 Conservative deputies an ominous quantity despite the present ascendency of the Republicans. Tho iV. T.

Times of yesterday contained over a column of "cheering news" for the local Republican candidates, electing nearly all of them "by a large majority." Our contemporary was, however, constrained to confess that the Democratic candidate for Supervisor at Large, Mr. Guthrie, is a "respectable "man," whose nomination "was a concession "to the decent element of his party." Notwithstanding all this, the Times assured its readers that the race would be close between Mr. Guthrie and Mr. Kingsland. As Mr.

Kingsland was not a candidate at all, and had publicly announced two days oeiore mat no was not, the accuracy of the Times will hardly be accepted as undisputed. Still, such stuff tends to keep up the bustle and commotion of the campaign, and in this it serves every purpose it is intended to servo. The Russians claim to have captured another Turkish outpost at Plevna. It is noticeable that the Russians have shown to much better advantage since they expelled the newspaper correspondents and took to describing their own deeds for the outer world. The critical eye of the newspaper man must have unnerved the Russian.

In the meantime it is encouraging to learn that the Turks contrive to keep their spirits up. Either the European newspaper men are very kind to General Grant, or Grant studiously concealed his powers of conversation and repartee from tho newspaper men at Washington. In the Figaro an account is given of a recent interview with him, in which the General absolutely shines: The reporter asked tho General how he liked Marshal MaoMihon. Grant replied, "We were not made to understand each otb6r." How i that General tB aeked the journalist. Simple enongb," replied Grant; I do not understand a word of French and the Marshal dooa not understand a word of English." Mr.

Henry, in his letter of acceptance, begs to assure my fellow citizens that I shall de "vote myself zealously to the accomplish ment of a successful result in the convoss." Mr. Henry is the Republican candidate of the Republican party. As it is still believed that a considerable number of his "fellow citi "zens" are Democrats, Mr. Henry's gauoherie in erultingly assuring them that he will be elected if he can, shows to some extent that John F. Henry differs from Bernard Bogan in not being "handy with his Thomas Oates, John Flynn, William Johnson, and Wm.
