He denies that the cer- ‘WOcate for burial which he gave was illegal, alleging that ‘the case did not come within the jurisdiction of the Coro per, and thatofticer had no necessity for holding the sub- wequent inquest. The verdict of the Coroner’s jury was wccidental death. The doctor also denies that he chargod fee for the burial certificate, stating that the four dolgars eharged the father of the unfortunate child was for pro- fersional services, INDIAN DEPREDATIONS IN TEXAS. A correspondent writing from Blanco county states that the Indians in that vicinity are committing cepreda- trons.

PEDIGREE HUNTING—THE TOWNLEY ESTATE, We have received a communication from John D. Law rence, of Washington, Ohio, containing some curious alle- gations [a relation to the search instituted after the heirs do the Townley est Te says that the inheritance is a qwyth started to convict cortain parties engaged in pedi- gree hunting in this city; sneh of the Lawrences as we credulous enough to believe in the golden vision, having Yoon charged by these parties $50 for their pedigrees, end from $10 to $30 more for their coats of arms. Our cor- yespondent says that he and two of his neighbors seut out to Engiand for information ast» the correctness of their pedigrees, and ascertained that they were all fabricated. ‘The inv. stigation, he adds, has brought to light the fact that there are in this country a pack of heartless sehemers: ‘who are on tho lookout for persons who, from some old story or tradition in their families, have nursed the idea that they are entitled to fortunes in England, with a view w turn their credulity to account.

Amongst a number of persons recently imposed upon in dis way are two poor hard working Hampshire farmers, who mortgages their small holdings to satisty the cupidi- ty of these harpics, who, when the romittancss were stopped, ceased to answer the letters of their vicums. If these etatements could be substantiated, we believe that nging the parties who ure guilty of these practices avithin the grasp of the law. THE WORKS IN THE CENTRAL PARK. A correzpondent asserts that the motive of Mr. F. L. ‘Gimstead’s visit to Europe is not ill health, asasserted, but & desire to take a few lessons in landscape gardening from the English and Continental parks. Should this be really the case, we think that Mr. Olmstead deserves credit for the conscientionaness which induces him to atady out the plans and works of others before carrying out the details of his own. THE UNDERGROUND RAILROAD IN CRICAGO—FOR- MIDABLE ABOLITIONIST ORGANIZATION, In a communication received from one of our Chicago correspondents there is the following curious state- ment:— ‘The underground railroad company here is rogularly organi: At its head are two men of means; one white, the other a black man. Their adherente, that is “those admitted to a participation of all their secrets, comprise only about two hundred white men, and (sin gular fact) not half so many blacks; but then, of course, they have any number of inferior tools, is lack of pumbers, however, is more than made up by the energy and determination of the few men who are in the secret. Tho Jesuits, as described by Macauley, are not moro devoted and obedient to their head than are these ground- Tings to the behests of the two men to whom Ihave alluded, They are all loud mouthed black republicans, many of them brawling pot house poli ns and scoffing Wiidels of the school of Theodore Parker.

This would be the time for a’recovery undor the Fugitive Slave Law, but such a thing has never been known f Chicago, und probably never will be. Any number of slaves could be run off to Canada from here in an incredibly short time.

Xtuawy, Gots 45 1859, Under the foNowing call of the General Committee of the city’ and county of ATbany, the democrats held a grand ratification meeting at the Capitol tonight, to em dorse the State nominations and rejoice over the reunion of the party:— At a meeting of the Democratic Republican Geur Committer of the elty of Albany, bekd on Uv 0h @.4y September, the following resolution was adopted Resolved, That the democratic republican elect the city of Albany, friendly to regular nominat aud the usages of the party, be requested to meet atthe Copi tol on Tuesday evening, the 4th iust., at 7 P. M., wo ratily the nominations made by (he Democratic State Cony eu tion held at Syracuse on the 14th ultimo, By order, P. CAGGFR, Chat nin. Cunton Cassipy, are Fy SeotT canara,” f Secretaries Large vumbers of persons, ugsembled in the park of the Chpital, whore a speaking platform was erected. ‘The park was dentely crowded with spectators, and the excitement doubtless lost nothing from the cruwus attend. ing tho State Fair, nor from the bands of music, rockets aod Drummond lights whiecb che managers of wnt demonetration had liberally supplied, although it of course held that the attendance would have been miner ous without these extraneous aids, As it was, the meeting certainly was one of the largest that has been held at the State capital for some yeurs. At the entrance of the Park two the Drummond lights: nent a glare down State stroet and up the Park over the closely packed democratic family of hards aud gotts. ‘The speakers were arranged so as to give all sides a fuir representation ou the platformm—Dickinsou fur the very hards, Dix for the yery softs, Tremaine for the voftened hards, and S+ymour for the bardencd softs. ‘Phe latter, however, was unable to attend, ia consequence of illness, 80 one shade of Shell was unavoidably unrepresented, At half-past seven P, M. the difforent wards of the city, by their delegations, with bands of music and trauspa Tencie, arrived ou the ground, and they advanced to the stand artid the firing of rockets and the playing of inusic. Delegations trom Troy, Waterford and other towns also arrived with music and transparencies. Among these were mottoes indicating great satiafaction at the union of the democracy of the State, and lauding the various State officers, Union “and canal economy formed the staple of the inscriptions. JouN MoKsiont called the meeting to order, and nomi- natod John K. Porter a8 chairman. (Applause. Mr. Porter caine forward and thanked the mecting for the honor conferred On him this evening. It was to do honor to the party, to the candidates they had nominated, to the platform they had laid down, to the cause they had at heart, and to the distinguished statesman who would address thom to-tight. (Load applause.) Voce Presidents and Scerctaries trom the various wards aud towns were then duly nominated, and a committee of seventeen on resolutions appointed, on motion of John V. L. Prayn. The committee were requested to retire to the Adjutant General's room, which occasioned the remark from an outsider “that it was a good place to drill them in.” Mr. Porter then introduced Hon. John A. Dix to the meeting, Who was greeted with Joud applause. Mr. Dix was giad to meet his oid friends face to face once more after 80 many years absence. While the tim had been parsing away inany of those who had boen foremost in the ranks had fought their last battle for the ascendancy of the democratic party, and now were resting from their tabors. ‘Tho Dewitts, the Wendetls, the Mahers, the elder Cassidys, and the Hills, to whom they had been accustomed, were among them no longer. But in the political in the intelicctual and physical world, great princip! truths are undying, and when death strikes down in the ranks a strong man or stout heart the vacancy is justant- ly filled up, and the solid column moves on unbroken and undiminished in activity and force. If the old file leaders are missed, others are found as faithful and resolute in the demecratic cause. He regretted that business would call him from them in a vary few moments, but he could not refuse the invitation to be present. He wished to assure the democracy of Albany how siu- ely he was with them in the present State canvass, and how cordially he concurred in the proceedings at Sy- cuse in all their parts, in the selection of capable and faithful candidates, and in the arrangement which had been made to secure a representation of the demo. cracy of Now York, unbroken and harmonious, in the Charleston Convention. A State election is al- ways of the highest importance, especially 50 when we heve great financial interests to pro- tect and radical errors to amend in the policy and measures of our opponents. He would not enter upon an extended examination of the issues at this time. Living at the feat of legislation, they well knew by whom and under whore auspices the foundations of the enormous Btate debt, which hangs over us, were laid. Thoy knew by whom the democratic policy of enlarging the Erie canal without enlarging the State debt was overthrown, They needed no statement of the facts to show that the evils of the day are not the work of the democracy, for they had been developed under their very eyes. Rut on the future canvass, to which this was preliminary, he could not for- bear saying a few words. In our day no contest bas brought with it issues baving a more direct bearing on the permanent interest and peace of the country. -y had the lingering remains of a sectional question to cast aside, the smouldering brands of a burnt out controversy, which should be patriotically covered up in their own ashes instead of blown into + new flame. This is the first great duty. The democracy of the Union have to choose their standard ‘ers from among those who are in favor of acquiescing cheerfully in what has been settled by competent authority, and of leaving what ig unsttlod to;be disposed of in a constitutional manner when, as practical questions, they come up for ent. Thero are two great classes of political thinkers in the United States—those who ook into the future republic as it moves in majesty in its march to dis. tinction and power, through a long vista of pros- perity and union ’and friendly brotherhood, and those who see it through the gloomy and distorted medium of dissension and “ irrepressible conflict.’? From these two classes the representative men who are to lead the opposing forces in the great contest of 1860 are to be drawn. Of the issue of the contest on such a basis he had not a particle of doubt. ‘The country longs for domestic repose, and the people will rally round the standard which holds out to them a hope of attain- ment. Another great duty also pressed upon them—that of cutting off useless expenditure, and relieving the peo- ple from tho burdens of taxation. ” He arguod that onough of trouble had been jeft to embarrass the present aamin- istration. That administration had dispersed the dark clouds—they had now tranquillity at home and abroad, and our pame was respected all over the globe. These were great results to be accomplished in less than three years, and any administration might well be content with them. But he did not come here to laud political friends, or rail at political enemies. We are now at peace at home and abroad, and it wae to be hoped that Congress would co-operate with the Executive in needful wholesome reforms. It was to the legislative body that we look principally tor retrenchment, care and reform, and he believed Congress would be faithful to the task ir. Dix enlarged on the power which each man possesses in shaping and moddeling the conduct of the go- vernment, and every man should echo and re-echo the sry that public plunder must be put down, and this should be repeated and repeated till the end was ac- complished. He rejoiced that the democracy of New York of now stood in a position where their voice would Ve heard and respected by the whole Pnion, Dif- ferences and divisions were now of the past and hence- forth ali would unite in making New York as great and as influential as she shonld be. He excused himself from more extended remark, and concluded by declaring that the present contest in New York was watched by the whole Union with interest, and that the result wauld have a great bearing on the struggle of 1860. Let them remem- ber that those who went into battle boldly and contidently, were almost certain of success, At the close of Mr. Dix’s remarks there was loud and 4. ed he (Proyn) reported the follo solved, That aasembled as we are to oxpress our ‘opinions of the action of the recent Convention of the democracy ot New York, held at Syracuse, we hail and applaud the reunion and perfect consolidation of the democratic party of New York there so happily consum- mated, and we regard it axa causo of proud congratnia- tion that the democracy of New York is now a unit, and its past divisions are no longer remembered, except ag a warning am2Sonr rurther alfenilen, _ Resolved. ‘That the renvtnination of & & Chirch for Compt olier, TL.

Resolved, That the sound positions in respect to the als and finances of this State, assumed in the resolu- tions of the Democratic State Convention, ratified, as we pelieve they will be, by the verdict of the people, we see the promise of the reséue of our public works and finances from the disorder and ruin into which the profligate schemes of the Seward-Ruggles party have plunged them, and of the arrest of that policy of extravagant and cor- rupt expenditures and reckless and unrestricted debt, which has brought upon the people a grinding taxation, from which the oniy relief is in the restoration of the government to the prudent economical pay-as-you-go democratic policy. Resolved, That appreciating the importance of the ap- proaching clection in its bearing on the vital interests of the tax-payers of this State, upon the integrity of the Union of ese States, the democratic electors of the city and county of Albany are constrained, by every con- sideration of ymtriotism, to put forth their best ener; for the success of the democratic ticket—the whole ticket, and nothing but the ticket Resolved, ‘That as patriots proud of our country and its institutions, and looking forward to the preservation of the glerious and blessed compact which holds the brother- hood of States in bonds of union, we regard as traitors unworthy to be American citizens, the political leaders and their partisans who seek to array one section of the country against the other, and threaten to invade the demain of sovereign States for the purpose of subverting their domestic institutions; and that in this view we regard the recent proclamation af Wm.

Aten Dearie aad thet the democrotic party, a ge and respecta- wis. portion of which he” sew “acombled Before him, is a party of the people. It was not a party of privileges, it was not a party created for the pur pote of Duilding up leaderships, endowing combinations o conferring offices on individuals, but for ihe puryose of giving and perpetuating civil and religious liberty to man. Ke reposes wot merely in cities and villages, although it embr all classes and conditiong men, but its gAat number, reater power, rests with ihaes, whereever anvils ring and’ hammers beat, wherever ‘the woodman’s axe is heard, wherever the plough is seen in the furrow, wherever man Ix and bas a strong arm and a@ strong heart. Its principies throb and ‘puleate with the tal 5 masses; its uses are the preservation of liberty an equality. In order to be efficient it. must have an organi aition. It resides beyend the mountains, and dissem!- nates through the entire country. It must have a polar stay of principle and a common watchword, and that waichword is equal rights to all men. Tt was ordained by the Almighty that man should earn his bread by the sweat cf bis brow; and in every depart: ment of life | man ' finds awaiting “him an irrepressible confiict, not an irrepressible conflict between sovereign States, that shall urge them to imbrue their hands in each others blood.

Such an irrepressible conilict. the cemocratic party has before it, for as it is man’s destiny to earn his daily bread by the sweat of his brow, 80 is it bis destiny to carve out a con- fict in the morar world, and he must straggle in the political as in the physical world against world: opposition, the flesh and the devil. The mission of the demecratic party, he had already said, was not for the fow, but for the many. Its misvion was to see that ever’ one Was permitted to pursue bis own course undisturbe so long as he acts in consistence with the law aud the con- 100 of his country, and that, outside the fair and just levied on him for the common good, he be per- vy the fruits of bis own earnings.

He asked how long his great couttict, of which we hear s0 much, been on between slavery and anti-slavery? The institu- tion existed at the time of the revolution, and ever since then the slave States have been growing weaker and tho free States more powerful; and yet we are told that now itis our duty to turn round on our Southern brethren and rush them. The State of New York had, within his re- collection, been a slave State; it had been left to iteelf to banish the institution in its own way and at itg own tuse, The democratic party only say, leave this ques- tion to the other States, as it was left to us, to be disposed of by themselves, To be as honorable as virtuous, a8 intelligent, and as religious as we ourselves ave, wo entered with them into a holy compact. They are now in a minority, while every day increases our majori- ty. We are called on, then, by every consideration of ie, and of honor, to stand by the compromises of the constitution, in letter and in spirit, and to allow our sister States to settle their own domestic affairs in their own way, and to leave this great disturbing question to be rettied as the Great Being who presides over all shail in His wisdom direct. With . this principle prevailing, there need be no fear of the future. And yet so much has this question of slavery been argued and agitated that honest people really became alarmed; they actually feared that the institation of éavery was ‘about toroll its dark shadow over the North and cover tho New England States; that the South would force slavery cn us whether we would or would not. There was an old Tady in Vermont who had laid lame ond il! fora num- ber of years, and had never seen a locomotive; at last she went out one day and beheld one come along, Lissing, steaming and showing its fiery front. She was overcome with terror, and nearly fainted away;and when asked what she thought it was, she answered she didn’ know, but she thought it might be that abominable slave power coming slong. But neither oid ladies iu petticoats or pantaloons shall be alarmed. The slave States aro every day growing weaker, and the free States strong,and there is no more danger'of the slave States inc! than there in of tropical fruits growing in Davis’ Straits. (Cheers.) But if there is no irrepressible conflicts be- tween the slave and free States, there is a eonflict at our own doors, here af the State Legislature, to which we should bend our ey@®. He addressed men now as demo- crats, caring hot what they were designated yes- terday, The world moves and goes ahead, ‘and there are no Rip Van Winkles in the democra- tic party. It is a party which takes up with the questions of to-day, and lets tho dead bury the dead. As democrats then wanted, as all now were, he asked them not to flinch from this irrepressible contlict. They were now called on to wage war with bad government. There was in the old times an old federal party, rich, proud, aristorratic and distrustful of popular intelligence’ There is to-day « party called the the republican party Witich was but Uhe natural descendant of the federal party, He did net blame it for taking the name of re- publican, for it had worn out cvyerv other re- swectable name, and by this it will not last long. Tt had only to be beaten once or twice and it would throw off its snake-skin. He asserted that this republican party was the descendant of the federal party. There was a lawyer in Albany who would not confees that if the federal party had died possessed of any property the republicans would legally inherit it. The old federal party had favored the restriction of popular privi- leges. (Here, owing to the lateness of the hour, we arc obliged to break off} Sinking of a North River Steamer Loaded With Freight and Passengers—Rescue of the Passengers—No Lives Lost. About six o’clock last evening, as the steamer Edwin, running to Haverstraw and Nyack, when opposite Twen- ty-ninth street, it was discovered that she was apparently sinking. The steamer was loaded with passengers, about fifty in number, and a very heavy load of freignt. As soon as the alarm was given the greatest constenation prevailed, and one or twe could hardly be kept from leaping into the river. The steamer heaved on either side for about five minutes, and then began to go down. The pilot, finding that it was impossi- ble to save her, tried to run Her up to the dock, but this proved unsuccessful, and be had to give up'the effort. The steamers Dr. Kane and Hunt coming along, on the vessel seeing sinking, came up and put out their small - boats, when all s the pas Rongers were safely taken off, and some of the light freight. ‘The steamer woyt down to ua hot- tom of the er ID fe hty minutes ater her condi- tich ‘was firel discovered.

Explosion of a Balioon—Fearful Descent. m the Utica Herald, October 1.} We have already noticed the ascension from the fair grounds at Rome, on Thursday, by Mr. Coo and Mr. Joseph 8. Cottman, and have bricily recorded their rapid. descent, owing to an accident to the balloon which took we met the gentlemen who them skyward. Y. mavie the trip, and from their own lips learned the parti- culars of the exciting voyage. We annex the narrative of Mersre. Coe and Couman:>— They started at precisely four o’clock; the aseent wag rapid after reaching an altitude of about two hundred feet. The balloon took at first a northwesterly course, but ata height of about a mile took a due south course for & distance of about five miles; then, at a height of over two miles, the balloon struck the famous easterly corrent so often ulluded to by ballooniata. ‘the body of the balloon was constantly expanding from. the effects of the heat and air. There were clouds below: tioating in the air, and the reflection of the sun’s light upon the air vessel was very perceptible. The glare at times was almost blinding. Vhen the easterly current was reached, the balloon drifted toward the east ata speed of about thirty miles per hour,and the voyagers were in igh glee. "At this point the scene below was grand in the remme—the earth hud almost assumed the aspect of a of mesaic work, small objects were not visible, yet 9 and cities were discernable a8 distinct objects on the gurface. ‘AL about twenty minutes before five Mr. Coe discovered that a part of the apparatus pertaining to the safety valve of ballocn was deranged, and was so located that it could not be restord. He at once attempted to dischargo the gas from the upper valve, in order to descend—con- scieve that the difficulty alleded to could not be overcome, The yah the top worked well, but the pressure on the valve (which had been deranged) from the lower the balloon was so great thatan explosion followed , safe parte vausing a rent im the balicon from the lower valve to its ‘The rent was some forty fect in greatcet circumference. length Th pal! 2 minute after the second rent was discovered, there was Dot a footof gas in the balloon. For nearty half a Mile the voyagers came down at a most terrific apesd— we sensation that one experiences in a high pid moti ‘The silk and cordage, as the bal- d, caused a ratthng sound like the rigging of main portion of the bailoon the netting, and caused the air vessel to sway violently, and the baeket and passengers: were raised t6 an even height with the vatve of the vee- seiitself. This motion was experienced several times, Jas often was broken by the scif-possession of the hanging their pevition in the ear. Finally aying motion wes increased by the voyagers until veceeded in forming a parachute of the remnants of ‘apid rate of speed in their descent y impedes. During the last halt’ mile be- fore reaching the earth, their rate of speod was buta triflo more rapid than that of the ordinary descent of a weth ordered batiocn. ‘When reaching a point within one hundred fect of the tops of the trees, near Pond Knolls, in the Rome Swamp, each of the passengers, having a sand bug ready to throw out, discharged this amount of weight, and the balloon concluded its descent to the ground with less speed. The passengers were suspended some seventy foct in the air, on the iimbs of one of the tallest trees in the swamp, while the halloon spread itself over several other forost trees. By good tortune Messrs (oo and reached torra firma in safety, after making a graceful descent from the tree. Arriving in the swamp in safety, they partock of refreshments remaining in the car, and gave three enthusiastic cheers for the fortunate result of their perilous trip. Tn ten or fifteen minutes the farmers in the poighbor- hood arrived and furnished the voyagera with necessary assistance. At the momert of the explosion Mr. Cottman asked Mr. Coe whut was to be done? The aercuaut assured him that the balicon would come down all right, except at a fearful rate of speed. ‘At ouce thegrapple and ropes were thrown out and alt the extra weight, except the sand bags. The aerial ex cursionists were perfectly cool, and conversed together du- ring the descent. But for their presence of mind thoy would not probably have cscaped ative. They. both as- rured us that after the balloon formed into a parachnto they had not the slightest fear of harm. But fr the few seconde after the explosion, when the car and the rem- nants of the balloon were swaying alternately above each other, their fears could not be suppressed. ‘Yesterday afternoon the balloon was brought to Rome in a damaged condition. An examination of the air ship satistied Mr. Coe that the appliance called a ‘safety vaive,’? which he invented himself, and which is designed to work by a rope from the outside of the balloon, had been dam- aged before he started on the trip,and as a consequence could not be made serviceable. This vaive is underneath the main velve,aud is calculated to open and close accord- ingly as the air and heat may expand or depress the body of the balloon. Once finally closed beyond the power of operating it, the expansion of the gas ander the. influence of an extraordinary heat became too great for the endu- rance of the fabric of which the batloon was constructed , and the explosion followed a8 @ matter of course. was Measure Police Inteiligence. Straw Ban—Cavont AGary.—A few weeks ago a Ger man woman named Emma Meyers, alias Mary Miller, was arrested for burgiariously entering a awelling house in Eighth avenue. The Grand Jury found a true bill of in- dictment against her, but when the case was called up for trial it was discovered that the accused bad decamped, and that her bondsman was by ne means a responsible party. In fact, the defendant succeeded in getting out of prison by means of straw bail, so there was, nothing left the police but to hunt her up again. Yesterday police- man King, of the Lower Police Court, discovered the fugi- tive in Madison street, and took her into custody. The prisoner ia represented to be quite an experienced house- breaker and shopifter. She has been sapeoeey ar- rested, but always managed to get clear, either through the ingenuity of ber lawyer or the introduction of straw Dail. She is said to be under indictment in Brooklyn. Sreixc Te Euermanr.—Thomes Hawley, a seafaring man, just arrived in port from a long voyage, started out to eee the elephant on Monday night and brought up at a fashionable resort in Oliver atreet, kept by a man named: Keene. Here he became involved in a row with some of tho inmates, which resulted in his being badly pumméiled and robbed of $10, all the money he had in bis possession. Policeman McCracken arrived at the scone of disturbanco ig time to save Hawley from being torn to pieces by threo females, to whom he had given some offence and at whose bands he received a most terrible scratc] Keene ané tho females were arrested, and on being Brought before Bi ¢ Connolly they were committed to the Tombs for ex amination.
