Responding to loud calls, Governor Warmoth ook the stand. Ho recited the incidents con- neoted with the election and returns. Heasked: ‘Y8 it not known that the sworn returns are in ‘the hands of the Governor? How, then, can they decide whether or not this or that officer is elected 7* He gaid: that seven or eight counties had been counted, and ‘wthout evidence; that the Governor had been impeached, the Siate House placed in possession of United States troops, the Legislature en- Jjoined, and everrbody denied admittance to the _Capitol who was not upon the infamous rolls of the enemies of the Siate. He concluded by ad- vising recourse to Congress for redress. The memorial prepared by the Committee of the_Chamber of Commerce meeting was then read and adopted. It is & long document, set- ting forth the history of the contest for the past Y70 weeks in full, A series of resolutions were sdopted, pmteatmg against the wusurpation 'of the 'State Government by a party *of unscrupulous adventurers aideg by Federal bayonets; authorizing the sppointment of a Committee of one hundred to prepare an ad- dress to the President and Congress, setting forth the manifald grievances. They shall visit ‘Washington and lay it befors the National ‘suthorities, and ask that the Federal Govern- ament remove from the State Capitol the Federal troops, in order that the duly-elected repre- ‘sentatives of the People msy have free access “thereto, to assemble, organize, and exercise their legitimate duties, orin_event of the unwilling- npees of the authorities so to do, that they be requested to estsblish s ilitary Government in our midst, deeming the latter as fifimtely referable to the present irresponsi- e, illegal, and usurping rule, which is supple~ ‘mented and sustained by the bayonet. The Kellogg Legislature, in joint session, -counted the vote for Governor and Lieutenant ‘Governor. A. P. Field received his commission as Attorney Genefal, and was directed to tele- graph to Washington, and have the suit institut- ed by Attorney 1 meral H. N.

Scandalons Procecdings =- Qutsiders Organize o Fight Over the Dsiate of the DeceascdssTemorial Flceting== Philadclphians Propose a Nonus ment to Rir. Greeley. Special Despatch to The Chicago Tribune. N&w Yorg, Dec. 10.—Opinions here are con- flicting a8 to the probable result of the law suit in regard to the two wills left by Mr. Greeley. Some predict a long legal contest, but this seems unlikely. The last will was not witnessed until one hour previous to Mr. Greeley’s death, ot which moment he was questioned and said to have answered rationally, That the Iast will was written by Mr. Greeloy when partially de- ranged is not disputed by those best able to judge. The first will, made noarly two yoars ago, is a deliberate, carefully drawn account. Uhnder its provision all property desconds to his daughters, except $2,000 to his indigent widowed sistor, Mrs, Bush, living near Chappaqua; $1,000 ench to his two_other sistors, one-half of the farm neer Eric, Penn., to his brother, and the Pproceceds of the sale of one shate of Tribune stock to the Children’s Aid Socioty of New Yorl. Mr. Greoley’s first will thus divertsabout $18,000, cash value, from his danghters, while the sccond Till gives thom all hig properts. Tho latter ssy they will provide for Mr. Greeley’s brother and sisfers in auy event, and the point of contest seems to be the bequest to the Childrens’ Aid Society, the estimated value of which is $10,000. NEv Yomg, Dec. 10:—At White Plains, N. Y., fésterduy, the daughters of the late Mr. Gree- - Tey, with a fow friends, accompanied by counsel, appeared before the Surrogate, to offer for pro- bate the will of their father, This will was executed Nov. 29, 1872. It had been written by Mr. Greeley some time ago, but was only pre- sented to him for executiona few hours be- fore his doath. It gave all the property equally to his two daughters. This instru- ment had been pluced among his private papers by Mr, Greeley, and was only taken from among them at the time of his last attack, and at the first lucid interval thereafter was offered to him for acknowledgment. At the same time, coun- sel appeared before the Surrogate to contest this will, offering, in its stesd, one dated Janu- ary, 1871, The contestants are Samuel Sinclair, Richard H. Manning, and Charles Storrs, the two latter being named a8 executors. Counsel for the contestants then gaid that he hoped the pfionems of the will would scquiesce in the will of 1871. Ho thought that the will ex- ecated by Mr. Greeley before Lis death did great injustice, inasmuch as it gave all his property to Miss Ida, with the qualfication that ‘one-half of it was to be used by her at her own discretion, to support and educate her sister Ga- brielle, and that some relatives would be de- prived of property intended for them. Counsel for the daughters thought that these remarks were uncalled for, and announced that Miss Ida had offered to assign to her sister one-half of the property, and aleo _grant suitable annuities to her relatives. The Mieses Greeley then de- clined to consider any proposals for compromise, and regular proceodings for the contest will en- sue, on the ground of the incapacity of the tes- tor’ to execate the_ will of 1872, The first witness was Miss Sampson, who testified that _ she became & Wik mess_to the will on the day that MNr. Greeley died. Mr. Greeloy was then, afew hours before his death, conscious and rationsl. ‘After some further examination of this witness an adjournment followed. The will of 1871 ives the property to hia daughters, but, in ad~ g}:ion, gives bequests to his relatives, anda legacy equal to thé valuo of one share of the Tribune to the Children's Aid Bociety of New York. New Yozx, Dec. 10.—The colored people held Eubfic services last evening at tbe Shiloh Pres- terian Church, commemorative of the death of . Greeley. 'Addresses twere delivered 'l]z-( Henry H. Garnott and Alexander Crumwell. ‘A posm was read by Mr. Thomas, of Kentucky. EITADELPEIA, Dec. 10.—The Philadelphia iron-masters propase the erection of an iron muxi:menv to Horace Greeley in Fairmount Par] Bosrox, Dec. 10.—The day after the death of Horace Greeley, several well-known gentlemen in Boston had a consultation for_the purpose of forming s * Greeloy National Monument As- gociation.” The organization has been nearly completed. It is not confined to Boston, but will embrace well-known citizens from all parts of the country. It is proposed to raise 500,000, of which 8175,000 has already been guaranteed. ST. LOUIS.

JosEPm, Mo., Dec. 10.—A special from Washington, Teccived here to-day ia the Pross report, Tegarding an alleged discrepancy in the accounts of United States Collector Ransom, does that gentleman injustice. The facts in the cese are that an examination of Ransom’s office was made two weeks ago by aspecial agent from Washington, who found Ransom in debt to the Government about £18,000. Ransom was positive thers was no de- ficit, but promptly deposited the amount to the credit of the Government. A few days after the departure of the special agont. Ransom’s chief clerk discovered an error made by the sgont, by which Ransom had been charged with $6,000 ‘where he should have besn credited with that amount. The correction of this error made the Collector’s accounts square, but not desiring to hold office any longer, he has resigned. " FOREIGN. GREAT BRITAIN.

WALL STREET. Review of the Money, Stock, Eord, Gold, and Produce Markets. Special Despatch to The Chicago Tribunc, New Yomg, Dec. 10.—Farly to-day the stock market had an upward tendency, but toward the afternoon there was a heavy feeling, and the advance was entirely lost, while, in exceptional cases, o still greater depression cxisted mntil half-past 2. Of the general list, the Rock Tsland, Lake Shore, Ohio & Mississippi, Eric, Wabnsh, Western Union, Columbus, Chicego & Indiana Central, and Union Pacific were the most prominent, both in point of activity and prices. The absorbing feature was the active movement in Pacific Meail and Hannibal & St. Joseph shares. The dieablement of the steamer Ori- zaba, and the loss of the steamer Sacramento, gave the © bears” in Pacific Mail an opportuni- By to hammer that stock, and although several rallies took place, the price left off at 79%. The dealings were very large, and &t times waxed into excitement. Hannibal & 8t. Joseph stock was advanced to 4414, Jay Gould is not represented in the new- Iy-elected Directory.

CINCINNATL Further Particulars of Thursday’s Disaster at the Water Works—Pas= toral Imstallation under Curious Circumstances—Murdered in Self De= fence. Spectal Despatch to The Chicago Tribune. CoxerwxaTr, O. Dec. 10.—The . investigation by the Coromer of the circumstances of the denth of four men yesterday by the falling of a seaffold at the Water Works has shown that the contractor who erected the scaffold was criminally careless in constructing it. Three wooden trusses sixty-five feet long were rested in the windows of the opposite walls, and were placed sbout twenty feet apart near the top of the building which was to be roofed. On these trusses crogs timbers were laid to support the floor of the scaffold, which 'was nearly eighty feet above the ground floor of the building. The evidence is not very specific 88 to the size of the plank used in making the wooden scaffold trusses, but it ehows that the stringers were made of boards, spliced and nailed together, and that the trusses were not sufficiently braced. The sub-contractor, in ‘his testimony, said he meant to make the scaf- fold strong enough to hold three sections of iron truss for the roof which his men were put- ting on the new gnmping house for the Water ‘Works, yet he said that at the time of the acci~ dens nine of these sections of iron rafters were on the scaffold, making, including the workmen, & weight of only about six tons. The contrac- tor says he knows this sub-contracior was repeatedly warned, morethan & weok 8go, before the scaffold was used, that it was utterly unsafe. This warning came to the sub-con- tractor, not only from the engineer of the build- ing, but from the contractor. He was shown how, for an expense of less than twenty dollars, he could make the scaffold amply secure, either by putting in braces from tho lower story win- dows, or propping from the third story floor, the joists of which were partly laid. i The feeling is very strong in favor of holding the person af fault for the accidentto pecuni- responsibility. i e men who were wounded will all recoyer, except, perhaps, one who lies in the hospital. The eight men wounded in the catastrophe were, without exception, skilled mechanics, and all, ‘both dead and living, had families dependent on them for support. g Tho acene of the accident was Visited by.large numbers to-dsy. The confusion in which the scantling, boards, and iron trusses aro min- gled ke it a matter of wondor that _an involved in the accident escaped. The fall was broken about fifty feet ‘below the scaffold by joista partly laid for the floor. From this point the men were tossed down about thirty feet further into deep water, the timbers plunging after them. Since it has ‘been found that few of the persons falling suf- fered broken bones, it is supposed that several of the dead wonld have éscaped had they not been pinioned nnder water by the debris. Rev. Geo. B. Beecher, who was to-day received into the Cincinnati Presbytery a8 pastor of the First Presbyterian church, the one with the high steeple on Fourth street, assumed that relation under peculiar circumstances. This is the cldest Presbyterian Church in Cincinnati, and it was the ‘pastor and congregation of this church which pushed the prosecuticn of Mr. Lyman Beecher, grandfather of this new pastor, for heterodoxy.. The trial is history now. Bov. Geo. B. Beecher comes into the Prosbytory not as & _ minister in tho Presbyterian Church, but simply on bis standing as'a minister in the -Cun%’m ational Church, and without being ra;lui:ed 0 bring_ a letter from the Congregational Church Associa- tion, to which he g;!angcd. This is regarded here as o rare relaxation of ancient customs. It is thought that in view of all these circum- stances, Henry Ward Boecher will accept an in- viation to preach the installation sermon. ‘Wm. Wolf, the butcher who murdered Valen- tine Daum, states in his cell to-night that Danm came up to his bed bringing a butcher-knife olong, which ho Inid on the bed. He then com- menced pounding him with his fist, and that, in self-defence, he picked up the knife which Daum hed Inid down, and, while lying on his back, stabbed him and then fled. He was found this afternoon, working for a farmer in Ken- tucky, to whom he had hired. b CvorsNart, O., Dec. 10.—The Chamber of Comme ce to-day 5o amended their Constitution 83 to aunthorize the Board of Officers not only to try charges of unmercantile conduct, but to fix_the penalty of reprimand, suspension, or ex- pulsion. Hitherto, trisl was' by the Board, and the fixing of the penalty by tho whole Chamber. This action is the result of the trial of last sum- mer under tho old Constitution, which so con- vulsed the Chamber as to threaten to rend it in twain. The committing of the wholo matter to the Boaid, it is believed, will contribute to the peace and prosperity of the Chamber. NEW YORK.

During tho winter T Ttalians cannot sustain themselves, apd how {his immenso number pouring in here are to be kept from starving remains to be soon. It will cost $300 per dsy to support those already Lere, whilo similar cargoes ate known to b en roufe, These unfortunates are gaid to be the victims of swindling emigration agents. g An oxciting meeting of the Bar Association took place to-night, William M.

The “Italy;” from Liverpool, arrived yestor- dax, bringing 863 immigrants, of which nearly 500 were Italians in an extrome state of destitu- tion. _Authorities st Castle Garden are in & quandary as to their_disposition, and aver that they are, a8 5 general thing, unable to earn any- thing after arrival; that ot prosent they are without meens of any kind. Severalof the immigrants havo been sentto Ward’s Island, ‘where they will be supported by thecity. Other vessols are now on their woy hero with alarge number of Italisns. As nearly as can be ascer- tained they are led to emigrato to Amoerica by romisos of agents of the Colonization Society. Fhio Ttalian Government is also roported to bo Dot unfavorablo to a general exodus. Comptroller Green, having refused to pay the Court, Justice Quin, $10,000 selary, allowing the logal salary to bo 5,000, suit was brought by Justice Quin. To-day Judge Fancher, of the | Buperior Court, decided in favor of the plaintiff, that tho salary was logally raised from $5,000 to $10,000 by the Mayor and Municipal Council.

There is a lively contest going on among the politiciens in the southern part of the State, and in fact all over the Btate, in regard to the .successor of General DMariin to the pension agency for the Southern District of Illinois. General Martin does not take his seat in Congress until after the 4th of nextMarch, and those who know him ‘bost, think he will not relinguish a good thing until he gets a better. But notwithstanding this, thereé are now no less than five applicants known to be working for the office. Dr. J..A. Powell, of Richland County, has been_sfter Martin's place for mora than fwo years, Hehas now secured the influence of Jno. A. Logan, and thinks he has tho office in his asp, but _ unluckily for him _ the on.’ J. P. VanDorston is stripped for the fight, and seys his claims are not to bo gnornd. He is strongly presscd by Richard J. glesby, and unless some mistake occurs he ex- - pects to be disbursing pensions at the next quar- terly pay-dsy. General Martin claims the right to name hig own successor, and will urge s prominent German, whose name hes not tran- Wuud and who lives in Washington County. /m. H. Robingon, Elector for the. Nineteenth District, is paddling his own canoe, and justnow much to the discomfiture of the applicants. It has trapspired that President Grant himself has s candidate for the place, and it is eafe to say that the chances of the latter, among those Who are best posted, arethe best. This new Rich- mond scems to be Major W. E. McMackin, a soldier, who had the good fortune in the early part of the war to serve with Grant, as Major of the Twenty-first Regiment. Withall these com- plications, the end 18 perploxing to thoso most Interested. - The Hon. O. T. Linegar, of Cairo, and late Elostor-at-Largo Tor 1hig Bato, Is e sppli- cant for United States District Attorney for the Bonthern District of Illinois, and has the su port of Senator Logan. He will hardly be able to bring down the present incumbent, Major Bluford- Wilson, who is understood to have strong friends at court. Withal there will be an interesting fight for ofices among the poli- ticians, and it will be mainly between tho friends of Logan and Oglesby. .
