All remember the graceful and elowing compliment with which Col. Ix- GERSOLL presented his name to tne Cincinoatl Convention. A neater job of the kind .was never performed in a political pssemblage fu this country. Scarcely less appreciative and riendly were the words with which Scnator ANTHONY introQuced Mr. BLAINE to o Provi- dence nudience a few evenings since. The seats were removed from the larrest hall in the city in order to give as much room as possible for the'thousands who wished to near him, and even then 28 many were feft out as could pget u. The immense audience stood for an hour before he appeared, and -did not show uncasi- ness during a speech of two hours fu leneth, In presenting the Senator from Maing, Mr, AN- TRONY said: Yon have been drawn here by the fame of an orator and a statesman who stands second to no Iiving wan in the country, It 1s my agreeable duty Lo present hun to you, & grateful and honoruble office. but aneccles: one; for wherever lony and illustrious services 1o the Repuolic, fdelity to po- litical principles and consummute sbility in 2up- purt of them, ~are held n s, ‘*familiar in our mouths as ho words.” Called 1o the third place in the Govers wment—the choice of many thousands of bis fellow- citizens for the Sirst—be adorned the station with o race, & digmity, an impartialjt; ability thdt huve not been surpassed ol Ny CLAY, whom li6 resemoles in muny points, in the depth and earnestness of his copvictions, m the audu- cious boldsess with which he declares them, and §n the power with which he defends them.

Mr. STAGGERS collected enouzh aroad to bring one dollar; Mrs. STAGGERS went im a quarter better, and sold butter enough to wake one dollar and twenty-five ccuts. But, alas, the two dollars and a quarter lacked seventy-five centsof the requisite awount. But the emergrency® did not stauger STAGGERS, He arose superior to the occasion, and controlled circumstances like 8ll great men betore him. Stacezes pawned his only pair of boots for the deficiency, and barefooted, but triumphant, he marched ac the bead of the whole STAGGERS family up to the red ticket-wazon, and from thence to the best seats in the pavilion. pl kbl Sk A To the Editor of The Tribune.

Grotak WiLLING. When we speak of & “majority™ for a can- didate in this State, we mean, of course, ma- jority overthe next highestcandidate for thesame office. Tne next bighest candidate fo the First District was Mr. JAMES DooLITTLE, the Demo- cratit nomince. - Mr. AuDrIcH beat him by 4,906 votes. The Socialistic canaidate was five thousand votes behivd DooriTrLE: the Fiat candidate in turn was 500 votes behind the Com-~ ‘munist. ALDRICH received more Votes than alt three of the other candidates put tozether. His majority two years ago over his Demoeratic cumpetitor was 2,319 votes, aud over the inter- convertible-pond candidate was co msiderably more. The vore cast at a Presidential election is naturally larger than that in the off year.” A full vote would bave added proportionately to ALDRICH'S majority. 5 —— While Col. INGERSOLL Is alittle rouzh on religion and the Christian churches generally, some of their members are not neglecting their duty towards Aim. While in Buffalo the. other day, Mr. INGERSOLL received a letter from “A Christian,” which he assured a reporter was o sample ‘of a large lot hereceived at pearly everv point where hie lecturea® The Colonel 15 warned to change his course in the following dircct language: .

Mr. L., this may be the last invitation you will ever have to seck Gop, and your career i€ well-nigh run. 1t may end before morning. O Gop, pity this reviler and rejecter of the blood of atonement by sending such trath to his conscience as shall cause huw to turn to JEsus. O Gop, make this man think. O Jzsus, make Thim think that after death comes s _just record of all he has done. O my Father i Heaves, if this man insists upon living just s he has, and will not belic¥e on Cufust tiat he may be saved, don't let bim live to do barm. Either cut him down as un- fraitful or stop his blasphemous mouth frum sow- ing Infide] seed. The New Orleans Democrat makes note of the fact that “localitics reeking with filth sud jmagined miasma are comparatively free from mortality, while fu the best-built and paved por- tions of the city, where none reside but the most cleanly, well-conditioned of our people, therc is not one square in which there bave not been less than eight or ten deaths.” The Demo- crat ought 1o know that miasma and sewer-gas are not hemmed in by picket-fences. Whenever the agency that produces yellow fever, whatever it is. is once geoerated in a city, it is as likely to affect one locality as another. Such malign in- fluences are Do respecters of persons or of places, and when' once started are as likely to attack the best as the worst places. L ————— To the Editor of The Tribunc.

The Republicans went in with two issues—protection to all and an nonest . * Upon these two _issues the camprign was made in this State. Truth and honesty prevailed. as it would -always do. They hail sained triumphs In all the Eastern Scates, and in none of the States was the triumph greater than io the State of Illmuvis. It was o victory of houesty and fair-dealing. ‘These elections bad decided the election of 1830, A Solid South meaut a Solid North, apd a Sohd Norta meenta Republicanvictory, The few re- marks were received with applause, and Gen. Logan was accorded n vote of thanks. Mr. C. H. Willetumade a few remarks, when cailled npon.

They also advised a revision of the list of members, siove it had become cumbersome and incorrect.

THE YOUNG MEN'S AUXILIARY CLUE, A well-attended meeting of the Young Hen’s Auxiliary Club was -Leld last evening at the Clarendon Hotel, corner-of Clark and Ontario streets, Mr. E. F. Cragin, President, in the Chair. ' Kirk Hawes, Who wus preseut. by special invitation, wus invited to address the meeting, and responded in bis usual able and graceful way. Mr. Hawes began by cxoressing his gratifica- tion that there was an organization of the char- acter of the Young Men’s Auxiliary Club on the North Side. He had wished for some time that thers was_just such an oranization on the South Side. He thounght it wise, since the endeavor was to purify volitics of certain sbuses Which had cregt in, to exclude mere pohi- ticians, otliceholders, and ollice-seekers from membership in the orgavization. Moreover, he thoaght fu proper that the Club had decided, as be understood, not to make the always fruitless effort of uniting in its orzanization members of partics necessarily hostile to each other. Bein a strictly Republican Club. any of its mani- festoes which might in the future go forth to the people would at least command the whole party’s resvect. Mr. Hawes deprecated the fact that our business-men paid so littie atten- tiou to politics. Sometimes they did makea *spurt,” as it were, bu’ they found themselves beaten by the ward bummers, who, Jf they kuew Dotbing else, knew how to ran ward politics, and very much better too than these reputable business-men. What, then, wasto be done? The conduct of the Iast campaign, previous to and after the nominations, was fruitful of sug- rostions in the way of needed reforms. He had thought at first that it was a little peculiar for candidates to go around and solicit votes before the nominatiou, although, to tell the truth, he had done so himself, But they didu's do timt sort of thing in New England where he came from before the days of Ben Butler. [Laugh- ter.] Still, after all, he thonght it was s pra¢- tice to be encouraged rather thun condemoed, because it gave people, before the time of the nominating conventions, a chance to take the intellectual measure of the several candidates. But one thine to be particular about was to sce that zood men were voted for at the primarics; and iu this direction lay ao important part of the Club's work. As to tne prooriety of bolting nominaticns, there were differences of opwion. — As for himsclf, he would not vote for one who s known to bea bad mau, whether he ‘was a Republican or not. If, bowerer, the Republican nominee was a man of fair ability and . unquestioned honor, while Ins opponeut mizht e a little more able, Le should voie for the Repubiican. Mr. Hawes expressed himself cleariy as to the illegal:ty of the Sherifl’s earoing a cent more Lhan his salary allowed him oy law. The peuple, said be, siould see that that ofll and ail others were prevented irom making the usual perquisites and putting them into their pockets, to be reserved as a corruption fand for the next campaizn. In bis opiuton, this was one important matter that the Club shoula look to, snd, 11 necessary, bring & suit to test the cas There were qther jmportant subjects to be stadied obd practically understood, includinzg te revenue Jaws, which needed looking isto and modifving in maoy respects, abou mueh as auything he could tbink In conciusion, e again expressed hfs sympathy with the organ- ization, nnx‘F wisbed it all success in its praise- worthyundert Mr. Hawes’ specch was exceedinely well re- ceived, and was awarded aenerous appluuse. A committee on permanent orzauization for the tuture workings of the Ciubmade s long report, which, after stat{oz the zeneral abfecls of the organization, recommended thag it be known as the Younz Men’s Republican Club of the North Side., and that it establish permonent leadquarters, and have regular monthly meet- ings, at which essays and discussions on politicai questions ehould ve in order. “There was some discussion on the report, por- tleularly in regard to the recommendationas to naming the orranization, und the further con- sideration of (his auestion of making the Club ot the straizht Republican character or of a po- litically wnixed description was reserved for an- other mecting to be held two weeks from Mon- day evening, to which time the Club adjourned. TNE GREENBACKERS of the Thirteenth Ward beld a meeting of con- dolenve and mourning in Tammany Hall, corner of Indiana and Lincoln streets, last evening, ‘There werg few in uttendance, and the faces of those few fore the same disconsolate expressfon that they wore on the uizbe they retarned from the funcral of thele deceased party, oniy,a few short days azo. foran hour or more they sat in silence, smoking th¢ cluy pipes they had used at the wake, @ not a word was suolen. About 9 o'clock, the leading sypit of lfic assembly, who had been an officer of the Club in its bappier days of anticipation and hooe, spoke in a lugubrious tone to his few brethen present. & ‘Fhe hat was then passed around, but returned emoty to, its owner, who heaved a sigh, A resolittion was then passed witheut a dissenting vote to the effect that all remaining bulls in the hands of the ‘I'reasurer of the Club that have not been receipted * be, and the same are here- by forfeited.”” The meeting then adjourncd sine die.

Barber, the efticient Secretary of the Chicago, Burlington & Quiney Railfoad, who went to Boston 2 weck or two ago to heip defeat Butler’s aspirations, returned vesterday, Laving accomplished the' task. Mr. Barber brougiit along with hin his family, and witl hereafter make this city uis bome. Mr. E.Gallup, Western General Passenger Agent of the Kankakee Line, has uccepted the position of General Passenger Agent of the Boston & Albany Ruilroad. Mr. Arthor S. Han- son, City Tickel Azent of the Iliois Central, goes with Mr. Gallup as Assistant General I’as senger Agent of the Boston & Albany. Th willassume the duties of their new positions Dee. 1. Nothing has yet been dome to secure the successors to thesé gentlemen, though sey- eral persons are mentioned in connection with tliese positions. There were some people foolish enough to believe that tbe railroads will not attempt an- other advauce 1n freizht rates for the present. Nothing can be more fallacious than a beliel of this kind, for the rates would bave oecn ad- vauced long ago bad it not been for the sharp lake competition. -Itis expected that by the end of this month lake competition will be played out, and in anticipation of tlis event an advance in’ rates was ordered yesterday. Ac- cordi the rates will be advacced on the basis of 5 cents per 100 pounds from Chicago to New York on all kinds of freights Nov. 25, 1878, . Railroad companies that are liadle to pay balf » million dollars damages occasioually for switcamen who neglect their daty will be glad to koow that au electric switch signal has been {nvented that promises wo bo of great utility. By an ingenious viece of mechavism o danger siemal is displayed exactly sunflar to the section sigual, if a switch is vot locked. No matter whether it be closed or not, iz must be locked else the train wall be brought to o standstill it orders are followed and the signal s observed. Springs are used, and all is connected with a battery, and, if the switeh is not locked, it throws off a handle which breaks the circuit and ot the sawe tune, by o wire, shuts it so that no maguetism can remain in the magnet of the siz- nal. The expense of operating iu is claimed to Le very small, and great £ood 13 expected of it. The traveling public, whost lives are in constant danger from these open switches, have a deep interest also in ail such inventions. ————— e — THE ABRAHAMS SUICIDE. To the Lditor of The Tribune. Caicaco, Nov. 9.—My name has been so haundled in connection With the death of Mr. D. B. Abrahams tbat Ideemita duty that Iowe to myself to give my version of it to the public, who can judge for itself of the facts, Sept. 30, 1876, Mr. A., with Mr. James Parker, came to me, and Mr. A, 1nformed me that Mr. D. S. Lovejoy had a chattel mortzage upon bis livery effects, which would matuare Oct. 1 (the next day); that he had been led to believe that it would be renewed till that day, when he had obtained information from reliable sources that the mortgage was to be foreclosed, snd lie was New Or- almost distracted sbout it. He begged .me. to buy it up and save his business. I _ted no ready money with which to do so, but my sympathies, whicn were enlisted in tise tatter, coupled with the assurances of Mr. Parier that he was an Al ‘rentlemap, and worthy, iaduced me to make an exertion for bim. [had sn old scnoolinate Jivine here who bad plenty of spare mouney, but who uzd never seen Mr. A., and was not. ac- quainted with loaning, but relied strictiy upon my judgment acd honor 1o do what was neht. 1 obtarwed the money for Mr. A, trom him, and never received 3 cent of commission for it even. Mr. A, said he would retarn i in sixty Gaye, but would lise the papers to be drawn for oue vear, payable on or betore their wmatarity. Tt was dune, atiuterestat 1Uper cent per auaum. The vear roited round, no principal was paid, and ouly a portlon of the interest, and that by livery ture. Sept. 1, 1877, Mr. A. claimed he haa the money cominyg, and woald be pré- pared Ocet. 1. 1 did not see htm till a day or two prior to its maturity, when he came and wanted my inlience to get the japers renewed. finally did so, and 1t \was renewed upon the same understanding 2nd teras as detore. The inter~ est was paid no better thun netore. My fnend was .itending coliege, snd required wmouey Mr. womised Lo Company. advance to him as it was wanted, but when call- ed upon would send a note to me asking that make the advance, and he would pay me. I did 0. My confidence in bis honor was unlimited. I have ‘loaned him sums as much as $250 at a time in carrency, not even myinz a check a3 a recelpt therefor. Aug. 1, 1678, he went to onr friend to see if he wanted his money Oct. 1, and was informed that more than enough had beea advanced by me to him to exbaust his claim, and that the morteaee was minc; also he had heard me say thay I waated it when due. This was Aug. 1, 1878. He said he could easily zet ft. He took at least seven parties to the barn, and could notgetit at any price upon that security. Finally he returned to ine Sept. 23, aud I was compelled tolet him have it for ninety days, payable on_or before Jan. 1, 1879, payments being 75 per month. Al unsecured moneys and_acconnts were included in this morteage. He stated before Robert, his fore- man, that he wished wmy mortezage to cover ceverything, as some of his creditors mizht et in with attachments. He made and_suoseribed 1o an aflidavit before Justice C. R. Matson that be was the legal and only owner, ete., of the within-mentioned chattels; that there were no liens, claims, incumbrances, ete., ete., of any kind or nature that could in any manner inter- fere with this mortgage; also that be had full right to give it. A few days afterward he came to me ou Lake strect and gave me the Swan note, fudorsed, to collect for him and apply on account, without amy receipt, or apything elac. T'was out of the city from then till Oct. 26, and heard vothiog from him. Upon my re- turn his foreman told me be wus sick, and wishel to see me. Idid not 2o, as I had no time. Nov.1 Freddie came, and brought u note from Mr. A., saying “Iwill bein at 5:30 this alternoon snd settle up.” He did not come. I uid no more atteation tq it till Sunday. when [ went to see him s to the advisability of having my borse clipped, of wnich I did not aj prove, but he did. 1 remnined there probably an hour, and never enjoyed a pleasanter evening with him. He said he bad not feit better in years, and, when I rose to go. he referred to the moucy, sayiug, *1 bave a portion of what " money for you now, which you can have i you wish, but 1 wll have it oll Mondav afternoon, and _if too late to brine it in then will do so Tuesday morning.” 1sa1d, *All rizht; do so when con- venient,” shook hands, and left.

The use of long scitecs in the dining-saloons of ocean steamers hius been felt ns an inconvenience by'travelers. The managers of theInman line, noting this opportunity to increase the comforts of a sea-voyage, bave decided to substitute revolving- chalrs for the settees (3o that each passenger can git down or leave the table without disturbing any one else) on ol thelr stcamers. The change has al- ready becn made on the City of Richmond and is a great improvement. The chairs are constructed of pird's-eve maple, to harmonizg with the walnscoting of the saloon, and are upholstered in crimson vel- vet. Each one is also ornamented with a mono- gram of the Inman Company in silver, let into the buck rail of the chalr, the whole presentingan artistic and rich effect. e ——————— ROBBERY, In this onr dsy of free and advanced thought, since Hell and the Devil are deposed, men can rob, chent, and steal with perfect 1mpanity.
