SWE AND CITY POLITICS ‘The tate, ‘Legislative, Judicial ai Local Officers to be | Elected This Fall. ‘The Spls to be Captured and the Rich Placers to be Worked, ‘Goveror Fenton and the Local Politicians, vi be, a ke. The poliians have commenced their manipulations for the falelectious. Several candidates have an- nounced tlaselves in the fleld for the Legislature, and @ general mmotion exists among the aspirants for po- litical posiins. The committees are preparing their work, ande ward politicians placing. their houses in order for $ campaign. The prizes to be drawn this fall are quinumerous, but not of the greatest fmport- ance, yet st sufficient in number to make the conflict interesting d spicy, not only in this city, but through- out the aie Severat officers are to be elected in November, viz:—Secrety of stato, in the place of Chauncey M. Depew; Sti Comptroller, in the place of Lucius Robin- ‘son; Stato Thaurer, in the place of George W. Schuyler; Attorney Geral, in the place of John Cochrane; State Engineer at Surveyor, in the place of Wm. B. Taylor; ‘Canal Commmioner, in the place of Wm. L. Skinner; State Prison Inspeor, in the place of Gaylord J. Clarke, whose torms of off expire on the first day of January, 1866. There is alga Judge of the Court of Appeals to be chosen to filthe unexpired term of Henry R. Selden, ‘who resigno last winter, and whose place was filled ‘until the nexgeneral election by the appointment of * ‘Wm. Porter, | Albany. The person elected to the position ‘will serve uni the 31st day of December, 1871. There aro ao eight Judges of the Supreme Court to be elected this fi, or one in. each Judicial district of the State. The Syreme Court Judge in this city whose term of office expin is Daniel P. Ingraham. These numerous offices are siicient to makega lively time among the lawyers who #k for judicial honors. An entire Ste Legislature is to be chosen; Senators to serve two pars and members of the House for one vear. Inasmeh asthe Senators which are chosen this year will remm in office to vote for United States Sena- vor in 1867, | fil the place of Senntor Harris, whose ‘term of officexpires on the 4th of March, we expect a lively conteg in every Senatorial district throughout the State. In this city here are to be elected at the November lection four Snators, in the places of Christian B. Wood- tuff, Luke T. jozans, William Laimbeer and Thomas C. Ficlds; also seenteon members of Assembly. A Judge ‘of the Suprem Court, in the place of Daniel P. Ingra- ham ; two Justes of the Superior Court, in the places of Anthony L. Roertson andJames Moncrief; a Judge of ‘the Common Phas Court, Chas. P, Daly’s term expiring on tho Ist of Jnuary, and a Judge of the Marine Court, in the place ¢ Henry Alker; also a member of the Board of Superisors. These are sufficient to give spice and interest to his local contest, and cause @ great com- motion among be political managers, from those belong- ‘tng to the varigs clubs and halls, down to the barroom and street corn¢ bummers, ‘ At the charts) election in December we have a Mayor ‘to elect in the pace of U, Godfrey Gunther, Corporation ‘Counsel in the pace of John EB. Develin, eight Aldermen, or one im egehdf the even numbered districts, mostly . from the east dde of the city, and an entire Board of ‘Councilmen! Ai these officials have control of the spoils sand fat pickings in the city government, it’ may be ex- ‘Pected that thiscontest will be fully as exciting as any Presidential canwss. Seven members of the Board of Education and nimerous school inspectors are also to be ‘Chosen to look ater our educational interests. The aspirants for these offices, from the highest to the ‘Towest, are ougagd laying their pipe and manipulating Political wires tc secure the nomination from their re- spective parties. Ina very few days the political caul- dron will be bdling, and the developments will be- come interesting, If Governor Fenton attends to his duty, investigates the administration of city affairs and remcves some of our corrupt officials, ho will seriously embarrass the operations of some of the designing men now trying to force themselves upon the public, and, we trust, enable us to secure a better class -of men to represent us in the numerous offices than here- tofore. Taking the issues springing up in reference to ‘tho reorganization of the’Southern States and the squab- ‘ble among our Btate and city politicians for the numerous ottices, there is every indication of a spicy campaign be- fore us, filled with personal incidents, spicy adventures and bold movements among the politicians. If in the ‘mélée the rights of the people and taxpayers are protected ‘it will be @ miracle indeed, and as great a triumph as the suppression of the rebellion. Miscellancous Political Intelligence. Mainu.—The Union State Convention will be held at Portland, Thursday, August 10. The Democratic State Convention will be held at Portland on the 15th of August. Election (when a Governor and Legislature are to be voted for) takes place on the second Monday in September (the 11th). Governor Cony has written a letter on reconstruction aud the status of the negroes, in which he declares his opinion that the nation should surround the marital and paternal relations of the freedmen with those sanctions ‘that have been found necessary in ali Christian commu- ities; that edycation should be given them from the es- ‘tafos of their old masters, and their standing in courts of Justice placed on the same basis as that of the whites. ‘He approves President Johneon’s plan of supplying pro- visional governments for the revolted States, and hopes ‘they will be held as, now, with their powers in abeyance, wuntil the objection of ignorance shall be removed and ‘the freedmen given equal rights as citizens with the whites. New Junany.—The following appears in the Trenton Garetle of Saturday :— The annexed notice has been sent us for publication. Exactly what the drift of this movement may be we don't pretend to know; but if it be (as the ume fixed # upon would seem to indicate) intended to forestall the ‘action or dictate to the Union Convention which meets the day following, its effect cannot be otherwise than mischievous :— To rwx Natiowat, Union Men anp Wan Duwocnacy or New , rn of the State of New Jer War : The member: in accordance wit ‘ them at th nereey, invite the war democrats, whigs of Kew m Jersey, who, without regard to past polttion! n party prejudices, - Pared to sustain the administration of Brosident ‘jahngon, ‘and who have uniformly uj the government in putting Sree) pe, oan io ~ on the a of aly, natant, al or noon, of consult: reat ha pei sins bs Chk so Dong isco. an permanen . and with a view to 1 ization N,N.

Long, W. M. Corry and W. H. Murnell, seceded, and have issued a manifesto, setting forth that they have withdrawn from the democratic party, for the purpose of organizing a party ‘on correct princtplos,”’ and nominating a State ticket. Their prin- ciples, as declared, are State sovereignty, as expressed in the resolutions of 1798; that slavery is the true relation in the Southern States between whites and blacks; free trade, hard money, uniform taxation, and a cheap, aimple, and responsible government, as the democratic platform. Tho following is the letter of Genoral Cox, accepting the nomination for Governor:— 4 Raxeian, N. ©., General w. D.

Journal, writing from Fernandina, says the Mayor, whom Chief Justice Chase inducted into office at that place, ‘upon an election by negro votes, is an “intelligent French gentloman, former tutor in Mr. Chase's family, but last fall sent here as clerk to the tax commission.” The scheme has already onded in failure; the municipal gov- ernment has collapsed. BROOKLYN CITY NEWS. OBSEQUIES OF THR REV. MR. HESTON—THH BODY TAKRN TO PHILADELPHIA FOR INTERMENT. church, corner of State and Hoyt afternoon four yeats.\ The deceased was a native of the city of Philadelphia} and im his early days was a momber of the Fire nt of that city. After serving out his time in the Kire Dopartment he studied theology, and being peculiarly — an orator he suddenly rose to fame. His ag a preacher, added to his exem-. Plary conduct ase Christian minister, induced the trus- tees of the church in this city to invite him to become their pastor. He was comparatively a stranger when he assumed the functions of his ministerial calling, but his able and devoted services in the cause of his religion soon made for him a host of friends, not only among his own flook, but among the liberal portion of every Christian denomination in Brooklyn. His du- ties were most onerous, and for the four years that he officiated in this city he never once took a vacation. While other ministers of equal celebrity found it neces- sary to go to the country during the summer months to renovate their health, Mr. Heston remained at his post, and in many cases performed ¢he duty of these ab- sentees in addition to his own. Several of the promi- nent members of his church advised him to take a monthjs relaxation from his arduous duties during the Present summer, and to Saratoga or some place where he could have the benefit of sea air. This he steadily refused to do, and exhausted nature at last had to yield, and on itp O July 13, he was called upon to render an account his stewardship. His disease ‘was apoplexy, and he died almost instantly. The obsequies, which were very ee 1g, took place this afternoon, and were conducted by the Rev. jenry Ward Beecher, Rev. Dr. Storrs, Rev. Mr. Buddington and the Rev. Mr. Taylor. The coffin containing the re- mains was taken from his late residence in Dean street, and was accompanied bya large number of friends and entered the church at one o'clock. Rev. Mr. Taylor ned the exercises and Mr. Beecher made the prayer. e Rev. Dr. Storrs delivered a very eloquent funeral oration, at the conclusion of which the Rev. Mr. B dington delivered a panegyric on the Fr the services were conclu the body was removed to the vestibule of the church and the face ex to bape rh The harem event = ments did every- ing in their oid to give the lence an opportunit; to take a last I look at their beloved fore bel st He or _ Sr io er children were on ies, ey were tl to wo vestibule; and passed Aton one de- deporited At twenty minutes to five o’ctock the procession moved from search em route to Jersey City, and from thence to Philadelphia, ‘where the will be interred.

Baker, Jr., Aaron Stone, L. Boyer, Robert Bennett, L. W. ‘towt, and the bereaved wife and three The funeral was attended by the Atlantic Lodge of Odd Fellows, of which the de- ceased was a member, and a general gloom seemed to pervade the whole congregation at the sudden death of this highly gifted divine. * THE NEW POSTMASTER. President Johnson has just reappointed George B. Lincoln, + Postmaster of this city. Mr. Lincoln held the office during the administration of President Lincoln, and has given general satisfaction in the dis- charge of his duties. One thing can be said of Mr. Lin- coln which is greatly in his favor:—He has considered the claims of returned soldiers, and at the nt time more than three-fourths of the employes of his depart- ment are of that class, The returned veterans will find in Mr. Lincoln a true friend who will give due considera- tion to their claims, and, like Postmaster Kelly, of Now York, they will never appeal to him in vain to have their just rights recognize: THE FUNERAL OF MR. CUNNINGHAM. ‘The funeral of Mr. William H. Cunningham, who lost his life by being crushed in the machinery of the United States steamer Union at the Navy Yard a few days since, took yesterday, from his late residence, 62 High street. His remains were followed to their last resting place at Greenwood Cemetery by the members of Hohen- linden of Freemasons, of which the deceased wasamember. Mr. Cunningham has left behind him mi sincere mourners for his untimely end. THEFT OF TRI ‘ On the 18th instant Charles Trumper, residing at 286 Seventh avenue, called on Kate Smith, at No. 15 New Chambers street, and requested permission to enter her room for the purpose of sleeping an hour or two, which waa granted, Kate locking the door sud depositing the key in her pocket. While Trumper was asleep in the room George told Kate that he wished to chan his clothes, and should regard it as a favor if she wou! allow him the use of her room forashort time. Sho thoughtlessly gave him the key, which he soon returned to her; but when Trut awoke he discovered that one hundred and fifty dollars in Treasury notes had been taken from a waliet in his pocket. Suspicion at once fell upon Seitz, and he was accordingly arrested; but none of ‘the missing money could be found. Justice Hogan com- mittéd the accused for examination. Seitz is a German, twenty-eight years of age, and lives at 94 Hester street. He pleads ‘not guilty to the charge preferred against him. FEMALES CHARGED WITH LAKCENY. Annie Spencer and Catharine Lowery, living at 308 Canal street, were arres@d_ by officer Field, of the Fifth precinct, on the charge of stealing wearing apparel valued at one hundred dollars and a seven dollar parasol from Annie Wilson, residing in the same house with the defendante. The accused parties confeseod to taking and | boo the property in question, and Justice Hogan, fore whom they were arraigned, committed them for trial, in default of $500 bail each. LARCENY PROM THE PERSON—CAUGAT IN THE ACT. At a late hour on Saturday night Henry Kern, residing at 30 Delancey street, who bad been in the German proces- sion, was about entering the Steuben House, in the Bow- ery, when a young man named John Henderson stepped up and asked him for a lantern which he was carrying in his hand, and as Kern was about giving it to bim Hen- Pee pg bis gold watch from his pocket and at- tempted to escape. Kern seized Henderson, secured bis watch and held him. Officer Sullivan, of the Seventeenth precinct, arrested andtook the prisoner in charge.

MeGuire being caught in the apartments of Mr. Henry, 222 avenue B, with the intent to steal, was seized and throttled by the latter, who'ts a butcher by occupation and of great muscular strength. McGuire attempted to draw aknife, with which to stab Mr. Henry, but an extra tug at his throat caused him to turn black, and the weapon fell on the floor, Oficer Dunlop, of the Seventeenth precinct, being called, took McGuire before Justice Shandiey, who committed him for trial. He is only nineteen years old and lives at 264 East Twelfth street. AN ALLEGED FORGER IN CUSTODY.

The check is pronounced a forgery by Messrs. Taylor Brothers, of Wall street, but Brennan denies being the guilty patty. Coroner's Inquest.

The Excelsior Club, of Brooklyn, which in 1860 was the model playing organization of the United States, and which now stands at the head of the list, socially speak- ing, achieved one of their old time victories on Saturday last at Morrisania, they handsomely defeating a strong nine of the Union Club by « score of forty-three to four- in a quickly played game occupying two hours and The weather was just the thing for ball playing, ‘and a more brilliant attendance of the beauty and on of Morrisania and its vicinity never was seen at 4 ball match than was present on this interesting occasion. ‘The Union youthe certainly carry off the palm from every other of our metropolitan clubs in attracting the fair sex to witness their games, and ve the Union Club con- tests have become very popular inatches to attend. These two clubs have, for the past eight years, annu- ally contested together for the palm of superiority, this being the eighth victory won by the Excelsiors out of twelve games played. The twoclubs were weil repre. sented on the occasion, the Excelsior® having four of their old champion players in their nine, viz —Leggett, Brainard, Whiting gpd Flanly. They opened play with a lead of five to t and when the ily was called at the close of the aixth innings the score stood twenty-two to four in favor of the Excelsiors, Towards the last the Unions made a handsome rally to recover their lost Sages but too late in the game to be of much service. ¢ batting and flelding of the Excelsiors were among the best displays of the season, and their succes# was all the more creditable from the fact that their opponents also played a good game, though not one of their best by any means, he ground, however, was hard and the ball bounded frequently out of the reach of the fielders, the Excelsior batting being m ed by an un usual number of fine ground bate, the most eflective style of batting inthe game. A noteworthy feature of the contest Was the manly way in which it was played, No “wasting game" marked a single innings.

The Germans are essentially a musical people. Far removed from the enthu: a characier entitely op- to Teutonic stolidity, they are the most earnest devotees of the deity presiding over music. With them there are no two opinions as to the relative merits of Apollo and Pap, and we imagine had Midas been a Ger- man he would never have had his ears elongated to the assinine standard in consequence of his want of taste in giving old Pan with his reed the preference to Apollo with hie lyre. From the German's pes: J the art of music inlaid before him aa the highest of all arts. Before the days of spoon-feeding are over he is expected to be fully acquainted with the theory of sound: and long ere bis infantile limbs have atiained the perambulating faculty bis hands have been tanght to finger the fugues of Mendelssohn and the cantatas of Haydn. Even the crying of the German baby is harmonious, and its chub- by fist in anger is shaken in “common time. Before the mysteries of the alphabet are unfolded to bis youth- fal mind he is initiated into the reading of quavers, semiquavers and demisemiquavers, understands the meaning of #accatn, allegro, and other terms, and can write a “score” before he can ‘pothooks and hangers."’ Educated after this manner it is but natural to expect him to be an adept at a very early age, and to form a valuable acquisition to the sangerbund of which he be- comes a member before ho begins his scholastic career. The musical records of the age prove this to be correct, and the concert of last night sets a seal on the assertion. MONSTER CONCERTS. Monater concerts are “go comparatively recent in- troduction into America. The ‘Hub’ laysciaim to its superiority im their carrying ont, although their success was almost entirely due to the presence of New York musicians. New York itself now contesta the palm, and points to a defonstration of much vaster proportions, with considerably leas preparation and no blowing, ite undoubted superior. re waa no jangling of olemet no confuston of choristers, absence of soloista, affectation of conductors or failure of effect at the Academy of Music Inst night, All passed off evenly and with éclat, THE APPEARANCE OF THRE SCENE. Néver on Sunday, and seldom at any time, did the Academy present #0 striking an appearance as last even ing. From amphitheatre w parquet every seat was occupied, not with the haut ton—the upper ten— thinking @ sacred concert on the Sabbath a desecr remain at home to vip chiblie and play euchre, the gentlemen; or go to church to criticise the dresses of their neighbors, talk scandal, and sleep through « som- niferous discourse—but with the earnest, honest, devout music-lovers of our city. In listening to the composi- tions of & Mendelssohn, a Mozart or a Meyerbeer the mind is filled necessarily with a feeling of gratitude to God for the most beneficent of man’s talents—that of music, There is no opportunity for the display of evil feelings of man's nature while listening to mut All the good, noble, heavenly sentiments are brought into play, and he is much more benetited than those of the élve, who “would not think of going to a concert on Sunday.”’ There was little of that talking and careless. ness which generally take place at concerts and operas, Every one seemed absorbed in ages | and the only thing which at all interrupted the stillness was a solo taken up independently by a baby in the audience, which probably was confused by the sound of the kettle drum. THE ORCHESTRA. Over one hundred of the best instrumental iste of our city, under directionof Mr. C. Bergmann, comprised the orchestra, They were situated on the fure part of the stage. The instrumental portion of the programme was performed with spirit, Linat's ** Les "was pow. erfully rendered. The performers were all well up in their parts and attended well to the beat of the conduc. baton. The symphony to “Walpurgisnacht,” per- the mort admired of Mendelashon's compositions, was exquisitely performed. The piano portions of it were given with a taste and precision we have never seen excelled. THE CHORUSES, RTC. ‘There were over one thousand voices in the chorus, and still it seemed as if but one mighty voice, endowed with all the attribates of harmony and melody, was eng. ing. Guided by the baton of Pauer, this immense number of voices sang with marked time and consider able effect. The voices, in themselves of the finest description, any one of which in a solo would have thrilled an audience, sounded in unison particularly grand. The choristers covered the entire of the immense stage, save that allotted to the orchestra; thus presenting ® most strange appearance. About one hin dred and fifty ladies, who were becomingly dressed in white, formed an interesting fenture of the chorus. The sweet sounds arising from them resembled the music of the mimic waterfall, which was amply mpresent in the adornment of their hair. A great deal of the sound must have been lost through the wings of the stage, and ® much finer effect would have been produced by the chorus being more in the foreground. Klein's Psalm, ax also the chorus from “Der Templer und die Juedin,”’ was rendered well, In the latter a solo from Mr. Steins was highly applauded Mendelaohe's “‘Walporganacht’’ formed, however, the princtpal feature of the concert. The solo parts wero taken by Madame Zim pann and Messrs. Bernhard, Steins and Trost, and all done ample joatice The choruses, intended to be those of wite of the Hartz Vonntains, were well rendered by the witching daughters of ‘a rand concert of the United Societios taken place this evening This morning they will mareh In proces son to Uo City Hall gut be reviowed by Mayor Gyuthor ‘Tas Oree fnuracros’s Piomio ea Svurday, which woe Place according to the programme heretofore published, was a success, Sdme two thousand persons participated, and had avery pleasant time at Dudley's Grove, where there was any amount of dancing, swinging and othes city and rural exercises, ending with thé ride back te New York, during which the terpsichorean exerciser were kept up with alacrity—men, women and childrec at the | catering into the pastime with the enthusiasm charac dorizing the commencemont at an earlier hour in the day ‘Tho day was al! that could have been desired, and the oxcursionists, among whom wore J.
