THE MassacuusstTs REPUBLICAN STATE CONVENTION.—The Republican State Conven- tion of Massachusetts assembled at Worcester yesterday morning, and promptly organiz:a by el-cting Henry Wilson president. it in- cluced among the vice presidents John A. An- drew, Oakes Ames, John D. Baldwin, Ginery Twitchell, A. H. Rice, and other distinguished men of the State. After the organization of the convention, Senator Wilson, the president, made a short speech, in which he denounced Andrew Jobnson, and was eloquent in praises of Stanton, Sheridsn, Sickles. and others who bave been subjected to Executive vengeance or interference. and closed by urging the Re- publicans of Massachueetts to make all minor isenes of persons and interests suberdinate to the high duties now imposed apon them, in order to complete the victory and unity of the country, and perfect the ‘equality of the rights of the people. Goy. Bulleck was nom- inated for re-election on the first ballot by ac- clamation. ‘One of the resolutions adopted by the con- vention cave: “We, therefore, in behalf of the people of Massachusetts, while declaring our approval of the just measures of Congress to arrest the career and defeat the plans of this dangerous ana desperate man (Andrew John- son,) pledge also to that body in the fature the fullest support in such constitutional measures: asin fis wiedom it may find it necessary to resort to in turtherance of the same end, évert to the exercise of its ordinary power to remove from cffice this destroyer of the public peace, und this destroyer of the Government. ‘Tur WORKING PEOPLE —The Sheffield saw- giinder?, to whom pnblic attention has been drawn by the recent developments of the Eng- lish Trades’ Union Commission, nave passed the following resolution relative to the Broad- bead ontrages: “We, therefore, cousidering weil our present position, decline to disgrace ourrelves as cowards by deserting the men who bave taken upon themeelves the task of risking their lives and their liberties for what they believed to be the good of the institution, and whose acts the examiners have placed to the account of the whole society, as well as to the actual perpetrators and accessories.” It is due to them to quotea second resolution. in ‘which they recommend all members of trades’ unions to abstain from acts “of rattentag, tu- timidation, outrage and violence, having fall confidence that it is the intention of the Legis. inture to give the labor question that consider- ation to which it entitled” TER ALABAMA CLAIMs—Diplomatic Corre- spondence.

Herald, Sep. 10 } In these despatches recently allusion was made to certain forthcoming discicsures in reference to the plot to obtain impeachment evidence against the President, and it was sta'ed that an affidavit would be included, showing that Mrs. Dunham had received from General Butler 250. and was reproached by thejlat'er for not baving performed the ser- viee for which abe bad been engaged. In re- lation to this sabject the following is given as Gen. Butler’s explanation: While Conover ‘wae in jail in this city a lady who boarded in the house with Mrs. Dunham called on Gen. Butler and informed him that Mrs Dunham had said her husband knew ofthe whereabouts of certain very important documen's bearing upon the areassination of President Lincoin, and subsequently gentleman, & boarder in the same house with Mre. Dunkam, came to General butler and reiterated this information, etating,in additior, that Mrs. Dunham had said if ehe could get money safficient te de- fray expenses of traveling she could obtain the papers in question. General Butler then said it Mrs. Dunbam would bring to him a state- ment from her husband setting forth the char- acter of the documents, he would enable her to getatthem. Drs. Dunham afterwards call- ed on the General with the required statement, and told bim that the documents were in New York, to which place she would have to go for them, snd tbat Mr. Danham ad tally ia- structed her how to proceed in order to obtain them. Gen. Butlerasked her how much money she woula need for the purpose. She replied that as she would be obliged to have @ compan- ion she would reed fifty dollars. This amount the General gavé her, and was assured by Mrs. Dunbam that she would start that even- ing. A day or two afterwards Mrs. Dunham again appeared betore the General, stating that, as eome trouble had occurred at the jail, she was unable to see ber husband. but brought a note from him explaining that be could not give her the directions necessary to get the pa- ry «Phen you cannot goto New York,” saia the Generak «you will mot require the fifty dollars: so you had better returm the money.” Mrs. Dunham, answered that she bad not the money to return, Generai Batier then told her he knew the money had been used for other purposes, and that she could not repay it. ‘Dire. Dunham was greatly. asion- isbed, and asked the General how he knew he had made other use of the money. 1 Butler answered that he would teil hbersatory.

There are three points at issue:—Whether the alleged contract be- tween Miss Howland and her niece, that the former would not make another will without in‘orming the latter, bas amy exiszence in fact; whetber such @ contract, if existing, hie any banging force inJaw; and whether thes: cua- tures to the duplicate declaration attache! to Mics Howland’s will in favor of ber niece are gennine. This declaration is as follows: ‘4 give this will to my niece to show if there appears & will madé without notifying her, through Thomas Mandell, as I have promised todo. 1 implore the judge to decide in favor of this will, as nothing coald induce me to make & will unfavorable to my niece, but be- ing il) and afraid, if any ot my care-takers in- sisted on my making a will, to refuse, as they Jeave or be angry,ana knowing my niece had this will to snow—my niece fearing also after sbe west Away—I, hearivg but one side, might feel hurt at. what they might say of her, as they tried to make trouble by not telling the truth to me, when she was even bere hersel!. 1 give this will tomy niece to show, if absolately necessary to haveit to appear against another will found atter my death. 1 wien her toshow this will, made when I am in good health, for me and my old torn will, made on the fourth of March, im the year of our Lord one thous- and eight bundred and fifty, to show also as proof that it has been my lite time wish for her to have my property . d_therefore give my Property to my niece as freely as my father gave ittome. I have promised him once and my sister a number of times to give it to ber, all excepting about one hundred thousand doliare in presents to my friends and relations. “In witness whereot, etc. “SYLVIA ANN HOWLAND, And @ seal.” The niece testifies that she lived witn Mrs. Howland as a child with a mother: describes the writing of the wills with a minute att»ntion to circumstances; asserts that her aunt was anxious that no more of the Howland property should get into the hands of her (the witness’) father, and proposed the exchauge of wills; eaysshe wrote the apove declaration at her amnt’s suggestion and under her aunt’s dicta- tion, and that ber aunt signed both copies of itimher presence; and swears positively that tbe contract was made at her aunt’s sug. gestion, and that she bad not received any notice from ber aunt thst another will bad been made. ‘The detense introduced several} servantsand o'bers. who swore that the relations between Miss Kobineon and Mies Howland were quite Gifferent from those between a child and mother; that Miss Robinson worried Miss How- land about making a will: tha: it was Miss Robinson who did not want the property to get into herfather’s hands; that they had never beard either Miss Howland or her niece speak of any contract between them; and that when Miss Robinsou came to Mi-s Howland’s resi- dence, after the date of the alleged exchange af wills, she asked whether her aunt had made another will. The judge who admitted the contested will to probate testifies that before the will came beiore him Miss Robinson wrote to him; asked him to call on her; called herself on him: vir- tuajly offered him’a bribe, and gave money to his child, which he sent back to her by mail. ‘The question of the genuineness of the sig- natures to the declaration given above is a very puzzling one. The defense claim that they were traced irom the undeubted signa- ture to the will, and that they are too exactly like that signature to be genuine, This is the pion of several experts. Some of them testify to havmg discovered signs that the doubtful signatures were first written with @ lead pencil and afterwards with pen and ink. Protector Agassiz swears that he is unable to detect such signs with a microscope; other ex- perts testify that such close resemblances be- tween signatures of the same person, written at different times, are not impossible or novel, and that it ts precisely in such & cramped handwriting as Miss Howland’s that they are to be Jooked for. Professor Pierce was called in as authority upon the doctrine of chances. He eatd: In the case ef Sylvia Ann Howland, the pne- nomenon—tbe exact concidences of signatures, could only occur once in the number ot times expressed by the thirtieth power of five or more—exactly, itis once im two thousand six hundred and sixty-six millions of millions of times, oF _ 2,666,000.C¢:0,600,000,000,000. This number far transcends human experience. So vast an imprebability is practically an impos- sibility. Such evanescent shadows of proba- bility cannot belong to actnal life. They are unimaginably less than the least :hings which th Jaw cares not for. The coincidence which presented to usin the case cannot therefore be regarded as having occurred in the ordi- nary course of signinga name. Under a sol- emn senee of theresponsibility involved in the assertion, 1 declare that tha concidence which has here occurred must have had its origin in an intention fo produce it.” Tis view is strengthened by the fact tha the signatures to the will and tothe deciara- tions were not written on ruled limes, which makes an exact coincidence still more tmprob- able. A minor but important question related to the comparative excellence of the Globe and Voigtlander lenees. Tre principal expert on one side used one, the principal expert on the other side used the other. With regard to the third point at issne, the binding force of the alleged contract, we must await the decsion of the court. The argu- ments commenced last Friday. DRownep.—During the prevalence of the storm on ‘Thursday evening Jast, Nathan Free- man, of this city, master of the schooner “El- mura,” owned by Solomon Philips, Esq., while in Chester River, in aitempting to take in the jib, was struck by a block and knocked over- bourd. It is supposed that the blow he re- ceived broke his right arm, as he was seen be- fore sixKing trying to ewim with his left. The brother of the unfortunate young man was on board, but could not render him auy assist- ance, asthe wind was blowing a gale at the tme.

One of the most desperate and brutal fights thet has taken place for a long time, came off this morning, in which a general fight ensued, and one of the principals was badly beaten by tbe crowd. The parties matched were « J my Allen,” of this city, and Patsey McUor- mick,” @ well known pugilist. The fight took place be:ween five and six o'clock, about two miles this side of Hacken- sack, at Kelso’s Hotel. Twenty-three roands were fought, when McCormick having the best of the fight, a foul was raised by Ailen’s friends. who seeing that thelr man could not win, and being in the majority, went in aud Grove McCormick’s friends from the ground, and bea: McCormick so badly thathe was cai Tied in ap insensible condition from the ring. ‘The party lett the city at an early hour last evening, proceeding tmmediately to the above hote}, where they remained until daylight. A Ting Was pitched near the road, and at day- light both men made their appearance, ac- companied by their seconde. ‘There were abont two bundred persons on the ground. MvCormick having only about thirty or forty present. Allen's friends were very enthusiastic over the result, and offered to bet two toone on Allea. Ata litle past five time was called, when both men came promptly to the call, equipped in full fighting costume. ‘The following is the result of the several rounds ae fought: THE FIGHT. Ist Round.—Both men on presenting them- selves showed that they were of the light weight tratervity. They got quickly to work, when McCormicg sent ina stunner on Allen's lett temple, sent him completely on his back. 2d Round.—Both men worked with a deter. mined will, when Alien used the dropping game and went down. 3d Round.—in this round McUormick showed bis superiority over his antagonis, ard again sent cut bis left, sending Allen to grass. 4th Ronad—No sooner had both men come up than Allen was struck a forcible blow in the head and taken off his pins. y 5th Round.—But yery light work and allen own 6th Round —Here both seemed to force the | fighting, when Allen was again sent to pray- ers 7th Round.—as both came up, McCormick struck Allen in the stomach, when a foul raised but pot given. Sth Round —Allen got in a good blow on McUormick’s peeper and fell 9th Round.— McOormick strack Allen in the mouth, sending him again to grass. 10th Round.—McUormick got in ano Allen’s mouth and one in the ribs. 11th Round.—Allen sent in a stunner on Mec- Ccrmick’s left peeper, putting it in mourning; he got several severe taps about the body. 72th Round.—Another slight exchange and Allen down. 13tn Round.—Allen got a slight tap over the jaw and dropped. 13th Round.—Bo'h men ek was thrown. 15th Round.—Allen now seemed more de- termined, he mage a bold rush and struck Mc- Cortaick under the jaw and the latter fell. 16th Round —Alleén got several heavy blows about the body, and dropped. 17th Round.—Allen did not seem to show such activity as before. As hecame up he did not even get his bunch of fives up, when M. Cormick sert out one of his heavy blows again, sending poor Allen insensible into bis corner. isth Round.—ltwas feared that Allen would not come upto the call of time, but he did co jUSt as the referee was about to decide against him. He got in only cne blow, when McUor- mick, sent in & stunner on bis ribs, when a foul ‘was again called, but notgiven. \th Round.—Both kept off. Alien very ‘wealt; he got one on the nose, and dropped. 20th Round.—Here both tried to get in, but fell short, when Allen dropped, as ueual 2ist Round.— This was also a light reund, only an exchange, and Allen fell. 22d Round.—Allen got in a heavy tip on Mc- er on ed when Allen Cormick’s jaw, and on the ribe, and dropped, | as usual. 23d Kound.—As both men came up their friends kept urging them to force the fight: toth for awhile did neavy execution, when Aller. began to falter and show signs of weak- ening McCormick finally succeeded in punish. ing his opponent so severely that Allen's triends without any occasion, claimed fon! again. Again the Referee very properly re- | fused togive it, when Allen’s seconds rushed into the ring, and one of them struck McCor- | mick in the face. This brought the latter's seconds intothe ring, wher the whole party got into a general fight. ‘The result of tunis ‘was the bringing into the ring the friends of both parties, anda general fightensusd. The Alien party being the strongest, soon succeed- edin driving McCormick's friends from the eround, after which tbey beat McCormick al- most to jelly, and left him in an insensible condition. He was finally picked up by seve- Tal petghbors, wbo were attracted to the scene and placed under the care of a physician. It is said he was finally conveyed to the hospital in Hoboken. His injuries are said to be of # serious nature.—New York Ezpress, 11th.

And this brings us to the real ex- psanation of the election. In Maine, while the | probibitory system of temperance legistatare is the accepted aud acknowledged policy of | the State, there has always been a sectionot its advocates who have striven to engrait upon it extreme, illiberal, and we may say, intoler- able provisions. Wheu national issues are pressing, these men get no hearing. But at | other times, their persistency ad unity of ac- tion give them success in the legislature—as happened isst winter. Then the mass of the party, who cannot approve ofsuch innova- tions, sre put in this predicamen!—if they ap- parently asseni in a body, it is taken for ua- | qualified approval by the extremists, and ieads to still worse legisiation: if they protest, it di- | vides the organization, leading to quarrels ! and resentments deplorable on every account. i ‘The most natural suggestion is to stay away from the polls. while a few, in order to maka their protest more effective, vote with the o:ner side. ‘This same experience has been gone over before. The Legislature of 1355, by its unwise temperance legislation, brought on a reaction at the polls that year, which actually resulted in carrying a Democratic Governor and Legis- lature. The next year the ne=ynal lines were | redrawn, a spiriled contest was made, and | Hannibal Hamlin was elected Governor by | Seventeen thonsaud majority.
