In the position I ogcupy 1 am not at liberty to take an active part in a political canyas. I have my opinions, how- ever, 48 8 man 8nd & citizen, and it would be mere affectation if, on an occasion like ey sbould refrain from saying that I abide in the faith and cherish the sympathies you have so ofien beard me avow. “1 am not, as you know,a man given to change my vote; therefore.on Tuesday next, my vote will be given for the candidates of the great party, whese proud destination it is that it demands equal rights and exact justice to all men, nd insists on maintaining inviolable the public faith. My whole political lite, and my whole public conduct, p edge me to this, apd I rejoice in the belief that the noble people whom ithas been my pride to serve in days not long past, will on the one hand strongly refuse their sanction to any violation of na- onal contracts, and on the other generously extend the right of suffrage toall men to whom itis at present unjustly denied. “With thece few words. and thanking you again and again for the Kiadness of your wel- come, and for the kindness with which you have honored meever since I entered into pub- he life, you will now permit me to bid you good night.” THE PRIzE RInG—Gallagher and Davis fought on Saturday at Fighting Island, seven miles from Detroit, Michigan.

SENTENCE OF OSLONEL SwmEnzy.—It 18 stated that Brevet Colonel Thos. W. i a iis i Rules for the Election in the Fourth M 7 stary District. Brevet Major General Ord, commanding Military District. by general orders 0. 31,dated Vicksburg, M September 26, announces that the registration of the legal yo'ers having seen completed, an election will take place in the States of Mitsissippi and Ar- kansas, commencing on the first Tuesday in November ahd continuing until completed, to d+ termine whether a Convention shall be held for the parposw of establishing constitutions and civil governments for the States loyal to the Union, and, in case & majority of the votes cast are in favor thereof, for delegates thereto. In onder to secure as nearly a8 possible a full expression of the yoice of the people, tne elec- tion will be held at each precinct of every county—under the supervision of the county boards of registration. The method of con- ducting the election in each connty will be as follows :—Immediately upon Teceipt of this order each board of registrars will meet—di- vide the whole number ot election precincts of their respective counties into three portions as nearly equal in number as possible, and assign one of the'shares thus made, to each registrar, ‘who will be responsible for the proper con- duct of the election therein Thereupon each registrar will appeints judge and clerk of election, who, with himself, will constitate the “Commissioners of election,” tor ‘the pre- cincts of his district. Each registrar will give fuli and timely notice throaghout his district, of the day of election fp each precinct, so that he, with his judge an ¢zerk, can proceed from precinct to precinct of bis district, and hold election on consecutive days. Each voter, in offering bis ballot must exbibit his certificate of registry, across the face of which the clerk of election will write bis name in red ink, to indicate thata vote has been cast upon that certificate. The pons will be opened at 10 o’clock a.m .ateach precinct, and will be kept continually open until sunset, at which time the polls will be closed, the ballot-box opened, votes counted by the Commissioners and a written return thereof, under oath of the Commivsioners, immediately made to head- quariers, in duplicate. Judges and clerks of election will beselected by registrars, preferably from among the resi- dents of their respective districts, but if they cannot be obtained therein, competent and qualified under the law, then trom the resi- dents of the county, and it not attainable in the county, then from the State at large; they are Tequired to take and subscribe te the oath of office, prescribed by the act of Oongress of July 2d, 1662, which oath may be administered by the registrar. The sheriff of each county is made responsi- ble for the preservation of good order, and the perfect freedom of the ballot at the various election precincts in his county. To this end he will appoint adeputy—who shall be galy qualified under the laws of Ais State—for enc precinct in the county, who will be required to be present at the place of voting daring the ‘whole time the election is being held. As an additional measure for securing the purity of the eleciion.each egistrar, judgeand Clerk, is hereby clothed with all the functions of a civil executive officer, 1s empowered to make arrests, and authoi to perform all duties appertaining to such officers under] the ieee of the United States, during the days ot election. At every precinct during the election, all Public bar-roome, saloons, or other places at which intoxicating or malt liquor is sold at retail, will be closed from 5 o’clock a. m. until 40 o’clock p.m. Should violence or fraud be perpetrated at the election in any precinct, the General Uom- Manding will exercise to the tullest extent the powers vested in him for the prompt punish. lebment of offenders, and the election will be held over again under the protection of United States troop: ‘When the election returns are received from all the counties, the result of the election will be made known, and in case the majority of the legal votes cast are in favor of a Conven- tion, the names of the delegates elected thereto will be officially announced, and farther or- ders published assembling the Convention. The Indians. Itis rumored at Elisworth that Gen. But- terfield and Superintendent Murphy are for- cibly held by the Indians now assembled at Medicine Lodge Creek, waiting the arrival of the Indian commissioners. An Omaha des- patch says that the Pawnee sconts are said to be highly incensed with Spotted Tail’s Indians, and say when they are mustered out of the United States service they will make war upon them. The Indian peace commissioners lett St. Louis yesterday afternoon for Fort Harker Gen. Augur, who bas been appointed on tbe commission during the absence of Gen. Sberman in Washington, has left Omaha, and wili join the party on the route, The steamer Only Chance, from Fort Benton, Montana, ar- rived at Omaha on Friday, with three million treasure and 200 parsengers. The Indians had stolen horses from the North western Far Com- pany, and killed three men near Fort Buford, The latest information from Superintendent Murphy, who is in_ charge of the Indians al- resdy Sesembled at Medicine Lodge, where he remains asa sort of hostage, is to the follow- ing purport: Little Robe, Medicine Arrow, Bull Eear Tail, Bull and White Herse, chiefs of the unruly dog soldiers, have promised to come on. One of the runners employed by Mr. Marphy left Little Robe village Septem- ber 28th, and he bad just arrived. He prom- ised to come into the council, and said that he bad been outon the Inst raid that he would make. Little Robe had about 250 warriors with him, and had returned from committing depredations on the rafiroad. Mr. Murphy telegraphs that Roman Nose had bee: him, and went away promising to be present atthe council. A despatch was received Sat. urday from Beanois, dated Fort Laramie, stat- jug that Iron Shield, a Brule Sioux, had come into that place with all his le. He had sisce left, but promised to be in time for the council to be held at Laramie in Novem- ber. Not a word has been heard trom Red Cloud, and there are no assurances that this hostile chief will come into the council. DEaTH oF AW Inventor.—Elias Howe, Jr., whose death at Brooklyn, N.

The Attorney Gederai or the United States bas given an opinion in the matter of the ha- beas corpus pending in the Court of Quarter Sessions of Philadelphia. ‘The opinion first recites the facts of the case, from which tt appears tbat on the 23d of Sep- tember a wri! of haveas corpus was issued by judge of the Court of Quarter Sessions of Philadelphia to Commodore Selfridge, com- mandant of the navy yard at that city, for the production of the body of Charles Gormley, a person alleged to haye been illegr lly enlisted inthe navy. Under instructions from the Navy Department, Commodore Selfridge re- fused to produce the body of Gormley, and made return to the writ that Gormley was ‘a regularly enlisted person, and held toservice in the navy of the United States, according to Herse Car Casualty A LADY KILLED—OTHER PARSENGBRS SEVERE LY INJURED. A young Iady met her death and several persona were more or less cut and bruised yesterday morning, by one of those accidents which not unfrequently happen to horse cars which pass cown steep grades with heavy loads. The accident yesterday morning curred on ear No. i, of the Fifth avenue and Atlantic street line. It was passing dow: Auantic street towards the ferry with thir: seven passengers, part of whom were ladies, and in consequence of the heavy load consid- erable force had to be used on the brake to id.

Thisrule was madereturnable Sept. 28ib, bat has since been extended to Sat- urday, the 5th of October. ‘The question submitted to the Attorney Gen- eral is stated to be whether the commodore should be mstructed to produce the body of Gormley before the court, or to resist by force, ifmecessary, any further writs or proeess from the Court of Quarter Sessions to enferce obe- dience to the command of the writ of habeas corpus, oF any process ot attachment against himself under the rule. Alter thus stating the facts involved in the case, Mr. Stanbery, the Attorney General, pro- ceeds to set forth the law at much length, and concludes as follows : “There ig, then, no act of Congress, and no decision of the Supreme Court of the United States which, in the matter of habeas corpus, exciudes @ State court from the exercise of its own proper jurisdiction to entertain the case, and to require a proper return and the produc- tion of the body of & person detained by an of- ficer of the navy as an enlisted persen. “Iam, accordingly, of the opinion that the court in this cace had authority to issue the writ and to compel a return and production of the body, and that instructions should be sent to Commodore Selfridge to answer the rule for ap attachment, and to produce the body of Gormley before the court; and that the in- structions heretofore sent him to make resis- tance by force shouid be revoked. “I do not deem it proper at this time, and upon the question referred to me, to go into any farther questions which may arise before the State court after the production of the body. But 1 do not doubt that after the juris- diction of the court has been vindicated by obedience to ite writ, a proper decision will be had upon the question of discharge. lf it happen that the court order a dis- charge, and upon examination it should be deemed expedient to carry the question to the Supreme Court of the United States for final decision, it will then be proper te inquire by what mode of proceed- ing that purpoee can be accomplished.” In conformity with the foregoing opinion, the Secretary of the Navy revoked his former order. and instracted Commodore Seliridge to produce Gormley before the court. SINGULAR CasE oF HANGING.—Mre. Betsey P. Eestman, of Saliebury, N. H , died in that town a few days ago, in her one ‘hundred and fifth year. She was supposed to be the oldest person in the State. An incident counected with her life is worthy of mention. Soon after the execution of Mrs. Surratt in Washington, person accidentatly mentioned that fact in Mrs. Eastman’s presence, when she immedi. ately exclaimed, with solemn emph I was the means of 8 woman being hung once.” She referred to the execution of Rath Blay, which occurred at Portsmouth. N. H., Dec. 30, 1768. 1t appears that this woman was the school teacher of Mrs. Fastman when the lat- ter was about six years of age. One day, through illness, Ruth Blay was absent, and the children were all at play. Mrs. Eastman said she found a loose board in the school- room floor, and got underneath the building, where she discovered a bundle wrapped in white cloth, in which there was a dead infant. The corpse proved to be the child of her teach- er, who was arrested for murder, convicted, and hung. A reprieve came for ber on the day of her execution, but Sheriff Packer wanted,a warm dinner, and swung her off a few mo- Ments before the appointed time. Oircum.- stances atterwards seemed to prove that Ruth Blay’s child was still-born, and that she was not a murderess. Co-orERATION IN ENGLAND.—There are 676 co-operative societies in England, and 426 of them made returns to the Government at the cloze of last year. At that time these societies reported an gate membership of 173,423. The par value of their shares is commonly five dollarseach. During 1866 these co-opera- tive societies received for goods sold no less than $22,277,990; whilst their expenses amounted to $1,177,270; and the profits realized, alter the payment of wages, rent, repairs, and other expenses, were $1,851,470. ‘The chief co- operative society in England is the “Equitable Pioneer,” of Rochdale. It had, at the close of 1866, 6,246 members, and a are capital of $487,445, and the goods sold in the year to the amount of $1,245,610 cash; realized a profit of $159,655, In Obesire there is a co-operative association that conducts a farm. It numbers 27 members, and has & capital of $910. Nearly one half of the co-operative societies in Eng- jJand are in Lancashire and Yorkshire. Hon. Joszrn S. Witson.—It is generally conceded in Washington that the Hon. Joseph S. Wilson, the Commissioner of the General Land Office, is one of the hardest working men connected with the Government. And his ability 1s equal to bis industry. His last an- nual report, with its numerous maps, is a mar- vel of information, and if members ot Tess ‘would think lees of increasing their own sala- rier, and print additional numbersof Mr. Wil- son's reports, they would do the public more gcod than is their wont.

The passengers soon becime | thoroughly aware ot their perilous position, and the gregter the velocity of the car the more terrified they became. The horses were not at firet detached, and the car ran upon their heels, causing them to kick and das frightful manner. forward ins Ultimately they became loosened, probably through their kicking and plunging, and the car, uncontrolled, went down the grade faster (nan steam could have taken it. Scmeof the passengers jumped from tbe platform, some clung to the car with a tee pacity only possible when death seemed to them imevitabie, while others shrieked to the top of their voices. Those who jumped from the car were less fortunate. A’ young lady named Miss Emma Leiding, residing in 14th Street, near Sixth avenue, was among several who jumped off. The motion of the car was so great that she was thrown violently upon the | cobble stones, and su: ined @ fracture of the She was picked up, and died while being conveyed to the iz Island Ool- lege Hospital, which fs but a short dis- tance from the scene of the accident. Otb- ers who jumped off were badly b-uised, but not seriously injured. The car was but a | few seconds in reaching the foot of the hill, a distance of about six blocks. The track at this point passes from Atlantic into Forman street, but the car was going with too great force to follow it, and ran off, striking an awning post on the opposite of the street, which itemashed to splinters, and then landed upon the side- ‘walk, throwing the passengers in a promiscu- ous heap upon the floor, the platform. andthe street. Doubtless # greater number would have been killed outright or fatally injured but for the fact that the crowd in the car was 80 great that 1t was almost impossible for them to move. One man had bis hand terribly cut, and teveral others were bruised, but they all considered themselves extremely fortunate to escape with their lives, and withontany kroken bones. The car was pretty well smashed up. The top was broken off, and it was otherwise shattered. The coroner empanelled a jury Yesterday aiternoon, and viewed the body of Miss Leiding.

Ledger ot Saturday.} The announcement that asale of Govern- ment steamers would take place yesterday at the Philadelphia Navy Yard drew there a number of merchants, shippers and others. The vessels catalogued were the iron side- wheel steamers Boxer and Horne’, and the ‘wooden side-wheel steamers Florida, Macki- naw, Genesee, Mingo, Mendota, Chenango, Se-eacus, and Metacomet. Before proceeding witb the sale, Mr.Cook, auctioneer, announced that the terms were twenty per cent. of the purchase money to be deposited on the day of sale, and the remainder to be paid within two weeks of that time. The Boxer, length 217 feet, breadth 23 feet 5 inches, depth of hold 9 feet inches, was first putup. Abid of $5,000 was heard, but the auctioneer said that would not do, and after an unsuccessiul attemptto ge: a bid near the Government valuation. the vessel was with- drawn. For the Hornet,length 240 feet, breadth 56 eet. and depth of hold 15 feet 5 inches, bids Up to $19,000 were made, when the vessel was withdrawn, Mr. Cook stating that the Gov- ernment price was £40,000. For the Florida, Jength 214 feet, breadth 35 feet, depth of hold 23 feet, there was no bid. The wooden steam- er Mackinaw, length 243 feet, breadth 34 feet 9 inches, depth of hold 11 feet 11 inches, was knoeked down. to Carles B. Miller & Co, Philadelphia, for $17,500.

The bull of the Cimerone was offered for sale, but was withdrawn below the valua- tion price. THE PARTNERSHIP DopGE—Caution to Ver- dant Speculators.—James Barry says that on the 16th of August he was attracted by an ad- vertisement in one of the daily journals, «A partner wanted, with $5; apply at 24 yuane street,” and called at the place mentioned where he met one Myron Van Dueer, who stated that he carred on @ remunerative busi- | called. ness in the gold and silver electro pia‘ing line, averaging generally $500 per menth over aad above all expenses. On the the representations made to him, be (Barry) handed over a sum of $250, and agreed in regu- lar articles of partnership to Bey van Duser il the remaiming $250 was cleared off. In consideration of this amount, Barry was to be taught Ris business and re- ceive an equal share of the profits, but Van failed to put in his appearance on the follow. ing morning, and bas not since performed his part of the agreement. Detective Leaycraft, of the lst District, arrested Van Duser to-day and brought him betore Justice Dowling at the Tombs, @ whom he was committed for trial to the General Sessions, in default of $1,000 bail. Edward Masterson, of No. 73 Nassau street, who was employed by the prisoner, corroborated the statementof Barry, and in addition added that Vas Duser had been in the it of advertising and dealing with personsin asimilar fashion. Van Duser is a native of New York State, 46 years of age, and resides at No. 18) Duane street. He em- phatically dentes the allegstions of Barry and Masterson.—New York Ezpress. Tricks or TRADE.—Desides the numerous tricke and schemes resorted to by small gro- cerym ofan able or inferior merchandise, there are many which are constantly practiced by wholesale dealers and importers on a much larger scale. Among these we will mention iurst the practice of renovating old or diseased figs. There are but few persons, especially in New York, who have not noticed the small oval or round-boxed ‘which are generally offered for sale at the street corners by huck- sters.

Suicide Co-OPERATIVE Din1nG Rooms.—The New York Sun suggests the propriety of establish- ing public eating houses on the co-operative plan, as the only remedy fer the extortion now so commonly practiced on the public.
