C., Aug. 10.—The statement ¥in.Mr. Manton Marble’s history of the Electoral rcontest is likely to make lively times for him i4n case the Democratic mempers of the Potter 'Committee do their duty. In that statement he +declared that if Mr. Tilden had cared to compass the defeat of the Republican conspiracy” by the use of mone¥ that a few thousand dollars paid to such persons as Wells and MecLin, paid mere- 3y for doiug their duty, would have bursted the whole atrocious conspiracy, and blown it away ‘like a puff-ball in the dust.” Republicans have ‘been aware here for some time that Mr! Marble stands charged by authority of a rentleman whose credibility will scarcely be questioned by his fellow Democrats with hav- ing formslly sucgested at a dinner-party of Democratic visitors in Florida- THE PURCHASE OF M’LIN AND COWGILL, of the Canvassing Board. The statement was ade here at the time of Minister Noyes' ex- amination that a letter from onec of the Dem- ocrate present was in cxigtence mving the names of partics present at the time when the consul- tation was helg, and all the circumstances of this attempt to which Mr. Marble made bimsell 2 party to purcbase these members of the Board. I1: was to this that Gov. Noyes himsell referred in the interview published the day previous - to his sailinz for London. He then stated that these facts were all accessi- Die if the Potter Committee wanted them. “Al- though ample time remained for - his examina- tion upon these points before his eailing, no movement was made by the Demoerats of the Committee to secure this important testimony. It was stated here, as the Governor subse- quently dectared in New York. that the sum named wasa larre one, and that the matter progressed 50 faras to lead to the consideration of the best person to handle the mopey and pay it over. and that a difference of opinion in re- gard to this matter finally caused the exposure of the scheme. 5 The Star this evening makes the following stateinent in regard to the ORIGIX AND OBIECT OF MARBLE’S ARTICLE: Manton Marble’s letter, an account of the ormuization of the Electors] Commission and atiending events very favorable to Gov. Til- den, i¢ regarded by friends in this city of Thar- an and Bayard as designed to break them down as Presidential candidates. ‘The opinion zmong eome shrewd voliticians is that the docu- ment was manipulated by Mr. Tilden himself. who 1% nmeasy at the growing strength of Judge Thar- aan. and employed Marble's pen with tne hope of kil bim ofL. In fact, this opinion seems to be eutertained 28 well by lepublicans as by Demo- cratic politicians here. PALMER. hl EX-GOVERNOR POINTS OUT THE WEAR- NESSES OF THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY. \ Specia) Dispatch to The Tridune, ! Wasamerox, D: C.; Auz. 10.—The following: Wetter has been received here from Gen. John (. Talmer, of Illinois: Srosvoriewp, DL, Auc. 5. 1878.—L. D. Inger- reoll, Waslanglon, D. C.~M¥ DEsr Sm: 1 am {very glad to find, 2s I do by your letter of Aug. 2, Mhat you still remember our old-time political -eociations and personal friendship, and I was “greatly refreshed 100 by your vigorous, slushing criticism upon the Democracy, for 1 thiok 1t ina measure well warranted by the facts, 1do not, however, accept your theory that the Democratic party is wholly uecless or incanable of pood. On the ~contrary, 1 am_pereuaded that. tnouch it is now apparently groping in the dark without definite aim, it will at 1o distant day reach colid_gronnd, und will become the commanding figure in Ameri- can politice. 1 assume it to be true that the Re- publican party only exists at present hecause it has practical control of the Government. If it were now out of power, it is not easy to_imagine 2ny good resson why it &hould acain be intrusted with the manazement of public affairs. Like the Democracy, it has no financial creed. though ft is not quite a8 badly demoralized. The theories that look 1o an increaze and more seneral employment of 1ne army in the edmnisiration of the Government, zud its apparent willineness to claim for the Fed- «ral ‘Government all the powers that Congre: the President, or the courts may assert for it, renders it dabgerous. In ehort, it scemsto me that the_Republican party accomplished its mis- #i0n in 1870, and that it onzht tnen have been disbanded s the army was in 1560, Then all its elcments would have sought their places in new intelligent combinations, and the countrs would have been eaved the years of erngele which bave followed between 1wo parties composed of discordant materials which have had no weli-defined poiut of union but ‘desire to retsin or obtain power. The object TOw moet 1o be desired is to g0 indoctrinate one of the political parties that it will be capable of con- ducting the affairs of the Government upon repub- Jican principles. The Republican party has, 1 be- rfore said, rum its race, and it will for the next iquarter of a century attempt to a; every enti- 'ctem npon ite acts by ajpealing 1o its record during ‘the Civil War, and will always fear o yield any vower for the Federal Gov- ‘vmment wheh it claimed or exerciced dur- sine the War. The Democratic party, on tbe other band, is theoretically richt now as 1t was tbefore the War on the most important and exses | tial principles of constitutional republican govern- fment. Itisat present infected with heresies and ‘Vuieneense, but it may. and will probably, rid itself «of them, and it cau do 80 by steady appeats to fts rown fundamental doctrines, ™ It seems 10 me that ‘the radical ana cont-alling difference between the partics now is that the Republican party. which ‘vas created for the -most _patriotic and nablc pur- poses, has no fundamentat doctrines which relate 1o the present or future administration of pub- lic_aflairs, but 1t scems from o supposed necessity fo be inclined to accept the political creed a5 well s the traditions of the Whig party, while the Democratic party. notwithstanding its crrors and the follies of its ieaders, has a tradi- tional political system of opinions’ which, if ap- plied and enforced, will in the end produce the best possible results, and I have great confidence that when it comes i#to power it will be found <qual 10 its respousibilities. I am very truly “.your friend, Joux M. PaiLwen. KEARNEY. TUE BLATHERSKITE HARANGUES THE LYNN SUOEMAKERS. NEW YoRE, Aug. 10.—The Heralds Lynn, Mass., special savs a large gathering of work- ingmen collected around the Eastern Railroad depot about the bour that the sand-lot orator ‘Was expected to arrive. e came, and the cle- ments so mervilessly poured fortn thelr wrath that ft was decided not to hold a meeting till Monday night. A procession was formed at the Crispin hesdquarters beaded by a brass band, undat$§ o'ungk the line of march was taken up v the Sycamore House, where Kearney and the | Committec of Reception were staying.

A reception was held in one of the parlors at the close of the meeting, and many of the workingmen of Lynn were presented. Lynn is almost solid for Butler. It is a Greenback centre, and the champlon city of the State for strikes. The meeting on Monday night will be ooe of the largest which Kearney will address in Mas- sachusetts. Faston Journal, Aug. 9. . In response to an anuouncement by the secre- tarv of Mr. Dennis Kearncy, that the represent- ative of the California workingzmen would ad- dress the *‘Sons of Toil" upon Boston Com- mon last_evening, which contained the follo ing: **Rain has no terror for him; he expects to gothrough fire yet.” He invites all persous who wish to ‘pool their issues’ to meet him on the Boston Common this evening, rain or no, aund he will give them a sample of ‘sand-lot’ organization of workingmen’s meetings,” a couple of thousand, or, perchauce, 2.500, people gathered around the band-stand to Jisten. The band-stand was crowded, and when Mr. Kearney came forward to call the meeting to order be divested himself of his coat and ap- peared in the familiar checked shirt. He pro- ceeded to the organization of the meeting in his own manner by calling upon the crowd to nominate ana elect the officers. Mr. C. H. Fernald was chosen Chairman, and Patrick Sheehan Secretary. He then, without farther formality, proceeded with his address. The rain began to fall about the time he commenced to speak, and there wasa light shower, which soon ceased. and did not scem to materially disturb bis auditors. ‘I'he power of Mr. Kear- ney’s voice is especially noticeable, as be could be beard with great distinctness a long way from the stand and far outside the circle of his auditors. REARNET’S SPELCI. 1 am glad to-night to see the workingmen of Massncnusetts unite in what is to be a series of popular meetings, to seriously cousider who is 1o be the next Governor of Massachusetts. Crics of Butler, and three cheers for Butler.] 'he workingmen of Massachusetts are going to elect the next Governor. 1 myself intend to stump the State of Massachusetts [crics of « Hear "] in favor of the candidates of the work- ingmen “of Massachusetts. The Democratic thieves and the Republican robbers will be dropped. Leave these gentlemen alone. Let us forze a connecting link between the work- ingmen of the Atlantic and those of the Pacitic States. 16 Fellow-workingmen, our interests are identi- cal wnen uational questions arise. I believe in the sovercirnty of State power. The working- men’s party is going Lo be the national party of the future; the workingmen bave long enough submitted to the attempts of Bank Presidents, bank smashers, and railroad thieves, aud polit- jcal bummers; now the workingmen, the com- mon sons of toil, the men whose brawny arms and developed braius, are entitled to some re- spect in this ereat, Republic. [Crics of * Hear.”] These vampires will be swept into hell, where before the advancing wave of a purer ization and the irreoressible might of liberty; they cannot survive another deluge. ¢ ‘When the workingmen tear the masks from off these tyrants, these lecherous bondholders, these political thieves and .railway thieves,— when they do tnis, they will find that they are swine, hogs, possessed of devils, and we will drive them into the sea. The days for hanging workingmen’s leaders have gone by. Imaybe thefirstof youwho will fall in this great battle for the restoration of the rights of wen, but it will be in the front ranks of workingmen. We devend upon the workingmen of the United States to frce the United States. How? By orzamizing, by sinking ail political parties and pooling your issues. All of yon who are in favor of sinking political par- ties and pooling their issues will signify it by holdiug up their hands. A number of hands were held up, the negatives were called for, and it was declared an unanimous vote. Mr. Kear- ney then continucd: I make no pretepses to legal learning, and [ make no pretenses to be a university in mygelf, and I make no pretenses of preparing my soeech beforchand. [Cries of “(Good.] -1 come before you as oneof your- selves, to eay what I please and to do what I please despite the press and the thieves of Mas- sachusetts. . 2 The dlerald has stated that at Faneuit Hall every time the namo of Butler or of hell was mentioned, the audience cheered. Now 1 do not wonder that uny intellizént audience should coeer at the idea of baving g hell. If there is vo hell, there should be one to' roast these in- fernal vampires. [Coeering and laughter.] The thieves and vampires of this country have hired Beecher to preach of no bell. They wantto bamsh hell, but I tell you that, for fear there may be no hell the other side of the clouds. we are going to give them all the hell they want right here. ; The columns of the Zerald ridicule this work- ingmen’s wovement, trample upon it. You Dave all the powerin your hands; you could kill the Heraid if you saw fit, as we killed the Call in San Francisco. One of -their objections 10 me was my profanity. I havein my bandsa_ Bible, and for the benetit of the hypocrites and frauds of Massachusetts (laughter and cries of “Hear!”] I propose to read from the fifth chapter of James: Go to now, ye richmen: weep and howl for your miseries that shall come upou you. Mr. Kearney then read the next eight verses of the chapter, and then continued: Pay at- tention, ye pious bypocrites (laughter], pay par- ticular sttention to the word of God, ve vam- pires, the cries of those here represented are entered into the ears of the Lurd of the Sab- bath, and God Almighty is watching over the poor starving tramps of the United States. The day of retribution for these villains is at hand. I am woing to cut their infernal throats with 2 paper koife. Mr. Kearpey then quoted the seventh verse of the fifth chapter of James, “Be patient, therefore, brethren, until the cowing of the Lord. Behold, the husbandman waiteth for the precious fruit of the earth, and hath long paticuce for it, until he reccive the carly and the latter rain,” and continued: I will not read anv further from the Book of God. [A voice, “That is enough.”] I have read enough to convince you that God is with us [a voice, “Put it in the Heraid ] when we are bound 10 do for ourselves. [Cries of * Good,” &nd langhter.] We workingzmen are the only dignified ana respectable body of men in California, and with those of Massachusetts are the only dignitied body of men in the Union. [Appiause Let all your meetings be dignified, let your uctions be gentlemauly on all occasions, make no devia- tion to party, either Republican thicves or Democratic robbers, out them in a tight place and when you pet them there squceeze them tight. [A Voice, ** We will.”] [t has been said that 2 poor man’s son 1nust become a convict to obtain his bread, and a poor mav's daughter 1o obtain a crust must become a victim to some rich man’s lust. [Cries of “Hear,”” and *Ihat’s s0.”} I will read a few fizures of California_life, ‘which will suflice for all the fizures that I am going to deliver in the whole paign. Iread iu a California paper before leaving there of a dinner given by a milrona robber that cost $§500, while to my knowledze huudreds of poor people, better men than that railroad robber, were beaging for bread.

(At this poiut Kearney told & story which was too eross. indecent, and ment has just sent an Ambassador to this coun- try to help to establish the Chinamen. Cali- fornia will break herself Joose from this Mon- golian invasion. © The - Chinese would settic down upon this country like the grasshoppers upon Kansas. It is reported that in China tle Chinese are starving to death (a voice, Levthem starve) in_such numbers that their bodics breed pestilence and disease. Let me caution the workmen and workwomen of Boston against hiriog these lepers to wash their linen. (Kearney here gave a description of their method of working, and the way certain flithy diseases might be spread in this way, which is too vulgar for publication, a procerd- ing which cansed some one in the crowd to call for three cheers for Kearney, which were ac- cordingly given.) Kearney finished his descrip- tion and continued: We find Jepers, lepers all over thecountry. If you stay away from the wash-houses and do not ‘patronize “them the Chinamen will have to go back to their own country, while they arc living, souner than starve here. They always send their bonesback s they will not atlow them to remain in this country amongst the American barbarians. . Kearney contiued his speech, saymg that the workingmen were now calied Communists and tramps, but. that when Abrabam Liucoln, that *Humanitarian President,” that tinest specimen of the human race that ever crossed Awerican soil, calied to them that the Republic was in danger, they had answered: **We are coming, Father Abraham, one bundred thotsaud more,” and ladies crowded the streets to throw them bouquets; but now, when sixty or seven- ty men in Chicago were practicing the drill with fiint-lock muskets, the papers 1 the interest of the plunderers and thivves calied upou the law. Blackstone, and he was good legal suthor- ity, said 800 years ago Lhat if two men were adrift on a plank just large cnough to support Now let me give you my dea of Communist 1f 1 an drownmg in the occan, and a ship as large as the Great Eastern is passing by foaded with Jumber to her masthead, and I, as sclf-preservation is the first law or nature, ask the Captain to give me a plank to save iy life, and he refuses, I am jus- tified in taking a plank. 'That is my idea of Communism. [Applause and cries of ‘Good.] In conclusion let us begin a work now that will show these thieves and bondholders what workingmen can ao. Let us send these leprous Aongolians baclk by steamboat or by sall. My Secretary, Mr. Brown, will read soine resolu- tions for you to pass. Mr. Kearney retired, and after_the crowd had given three clicers for bim Mr. Brown stepped forward and read the resolutious, which were declared, after a show of hauds, to be carried ununimously. The following are THE RESOLUTIONS: Waeness, By advice from San Francisco, through the hands of the Ambassador of Labor, now here.

BANNING SLAUGHTERED. Special Dispateh fo The Tridune, CrveiwNaTi, O.; Aung. 10.—The Democratic Conventionat the Bellevue House to-day was one of the most disorderly political gathering suela in Cincinnati for years. It began at 10 o’dock in the morning and lasted till nearly 10 at night. Milton Sayler proved an easy winner in the contest for the nomination for Congress in the First District. His oppouent, W. L. Forrest, ouly received about 20 votes. In the Sccond District there was a bitter struggle between Gen. Banning, L. W. Goss, and Jobn A. Shanks. On the first two ballots Banning led, but on the third Mr. Shanks’ tricnds weut over to Goss, who received 74 votes to Bauning’s 63. Goss was declared the nominee, amid great confasion, and Banning was Jed upon the platform to make aspecch. He endeavored to accept the situa- tion, but his manner showed that e was deeply bumiliated by his defeat. L. W. Goss, the nominee, is a lawyer and pol- jtivian of fair abilities, but with no popularity outside of the German-Liberal clement, which he represents. There is little doubt that if the Republicans nominate Gov. Young,asuow seems probabie, Goss will be beaten. The causes of Banmniug’s defeat are due largely to dissatisfaction in the party, growing out _of numerous promises of spoils to Demo cratic workers in previous contests, which be- refused to make good when clected. The Re- publicans in the First District bave not deciaed who they will nominate against Sayler; but the indications point strougly to Judsze Longwortl, who would rive bim a hard race. There ware several bitter- contests in the Con- vention over county nominations, particularly over the office of Sherifl, for which ex-Mayor Johnston was a candidate. Johnston secured the nomination, but it is claimed by Verwig, his chief opponent, that he was counted fu, the tally sheets realiy stowing Verwig’s election. The Hon. Sam 8. Hunt and William Pugh were put in nomination for Common-Pleas Judge. Tnere were a score of personal eucoun- ters durine the day, all verv noisy, but none very serious. A difference of opinion at the Twelfth-Ward primarics Jast night resulted in & murder. STANDIFORD. A KENTUCKIAN'S OPINION AS 'TO TILDEN'S PROSPECTS, . Special Dispatch 1o The Tribune.

As an evidence of .the growing trade between Brazil und the United States, the agents of this le state that the . steamship Rio_ de Janeiro, now ou. her way to New York, is filled with freight, and that the City of Para on her first recurn trip brought twenty-eight passengers, makiag the trip from Rio ' dé Janeiro in twenty- two days. Her carmo consisted of 24,000 bags of coffee; 119 bags of a larze lot - of. .'rubber, and of specie, the . latter ~ from St. - Thomas. ‘The larze fnterchange of business between Bra- zil and tbhe United States, os sbown above, should incite Western merchants and shippers to get the bulk of this business. Chicazo has a must excelient route viz New Orleans, and is more than able to compete with New York. Most of the articles. cuumerated above are raised and consumcd in this part of tbe United States. There is no reason whatever why cere- als, beef, pork, ete., should be shipped from here to New York, and from there to South Aumerica, when jt can be seut via New Orleans at largely-reduced expense. THE RAILROADS OF TIHE WORLD. A French writer has been carefully collecting the railway statistics of all natious. At the close of 1876 the total railway mileage in the world was 163,052 miles, apportioned as fol- lows: ) b At that time the United States had but 74,005 miles ot raflwa But at the close of 1877 the rmileage was 79,514, and must now be about 82,- 000. Other nations are credited as fullows: ways, against §6,000.000,000 for America and all the rest of the world. i in 1876 _carried 1,140,000,000 passengers, and 5,400.000,000 tons of freieht, or about 470 pas- sengers to every 100 tons of freight. 1t fs esti- mated that 4,000,000 tons of rails are Tequired every year to renew the wornout stock on the roads already in operation, besides what is need- ed to lay down new roads. The average wear of arail is ten years. The rolling mills of the United States have a capacity of nearly 2,000,000 tons, though our consumption ol rails, includ- ing imports, is not haif that number.

CNICAGO. The alarm from the firc-alarm station at the corner of Canal and Washington'strects, at 2:20 this morning, was caused by a fire being dis- coverea in alarge three-story frame building situated on the south side of the foor of Wash- ingtou street, and direetly upon the edge of the rive The buitding has stood there for vears, and is seid to. be at prescot owned by a man named Armstrong, residing at No. 204 West Madison strect. It wus about 80x40 in dimension, but could not have been very valuable .owing o its areat age. It was occupied as & mill-stons and fur- nishing fuctory by T. W. Baxter & Co., one of the largest firms in that business in the Northwest, as well as one of tne oldest. Thy carried a - very heavy stock, and the contents of the building, together with the machinery and touls, must be worth in the neighborhood ‘ot frow $60,000 to $W%.000. The oriin of the fire is at present unknown, as the watchman of the building could not be found. Officer Frank Beaubien, who raised the ery of fire, and who turned fu. the alarm, saw flame and smoke throush the windows of the secoud floor near the south end of tbe building. The flumes ran rapidly to the top story, and, not- withstandine the efforts of the Fire Depart- meunt, for which three alarms were sounded, the upper story was a raufless shell within a balf- nour. The engines drew water directly from the river, and had an unlimited supply. Adjoining the mill on the south is the large IMiinois River Elevator, aud counecting the two buildings is a frame. one-story structure used as un_cngine-room. At 2:50 the mill scemed doomed to almost totul destruction; the side towards the river wus a sheet of flame, aod while the firemen were cngaged in cowbating the flames io® the upper story, the fire gained new holds in the basemeut, and spread rapidly upwards. No fears were entertaived by the Iire Marshals for the safety of the etevator. No idea of the losses or insurance could be gleancd, owing to the latencss of the hour. ‘The afarm fromn Box 926, at 12:35 vesterday noon, was causcd by a fire breaking out in the one-story brick building No. 250 Mobawk street, owned by Dr. Greenewald, and occupied as a rabber paint factory by Bailey & Co. ause. a paint kettle catehing ™ fire from over- .
