John: Kelly was yesterday brought up before United States Commissioner Osborne on two distinct charges of passing counterfeit money. The evidence in the cage develops the fact that the drivers of: our city stages are specially selected as the objects to be victimized by the dealers in the counterfeit greenbacks that are eo numer- ous inthe hands of these gentry. Kelly, as charged, had succeeded in passing two one dollar bills during Friday evening, the rain being favor. able to such operations, but was luckily detected by a driver who beckened to @ policeman and invited him to take a seat beside him on the box. The officer being informed that a bill shown him by the driver was spurious, and that the owner of the same was inside, halted the stage and arrested the party. On being taken to the station house Kelly was identified by another driver, upon whom, it is alleged, earlier in the evening able lami of mediums it stigmatizes as humbug, and | What Our Citizens Expect of Govermor | south long before the mosting of next Congress, and that hidd teries of table raj Fenton. the public need not be surprised at its promulgation amy pra Bs ay ee 7 pronounces ‘cocee. ‘As the fall approaches the political trick-| day.

These cir- Pri bany Convention {s just now a serious question for them. The Times is anxious and uneasy. The clique or faction of politicians which centres around that concern imagined that they had everything their own way, and let what would happen in the convention of their own party they could manage their card so as to be the power in the State with President Johnson. They were preparing to oppose the radicals within their party organization, and thus obtain the oredit of being the special advocates of the administration policy, and receive all the glory as such, including the distribution of the spoils. But all of a sudden the democratic managers step in and emphatically endorse the President’s reorganization policy, and select unexceptionable men as their standard bear- ers, including those who have been foremost in fighting the battles of the Union, as well as others who have been among the strongest men in the republican party in the past. In pursuing this course they have monopolized the glory of being the supporters and endor- sers of Mr. Johnson, and have taken from the Weed-Raymond faction of the republican party all their capital and stock in trade, which they calculated so largely upon for future political advancement and favors. Here lies the secret of their attempts to make faces at the proceed- ings of the Convention and efforts to become facetious and ironical all at the same time. They are forced into a sore dilemma. What to do now, and which way to turn next, are questions not easily answered, and they are floundering about in hopes, like Micawber, that NIBLO'S GARDEN, Broadway.—AReax %4 Poaus; on, eux Wicaiow Wxppixc.

The signs of the times clearly indicate that a large portion of the republican leaders are making preparations for a bold fight upon President Johnson and his policy next winter, with the determination, if possible, to upset his whole programme of restoration. The action of the State Conven- tions in Maine, Pennsylvania and Minnesota very clearly show this point; but their intentions undoubtedly have been to keep this design covered up and in the background as much as possible until after the fall elections.. This is done for the purpose of carrying the State elec- tions, only letting their programme be revealed in such States as Maine, Minnesota and Massa- chusetts, where they imagine they have strength to do just what they please. A bold opposition in these States to the policy of President Joln- son would, in their estimate, be sufficient to commit their whole party and render the united action of their representatives in Congress from all the Northern States against the reconstruc- tion policy plausible and an easy thing to accomplish, without the direct charge, as they think, of going counter to public opinion. With the success of their party everywhere they could set up the claim that such is the expressed will of the people, and commence # bold fight on the reassembling of Congress, But the democratic party in this State has spoiled their plans. The action of the late Albany Convention {s such that it has forced the republicans to show theirhands, They can no longer sail under the color of pretending to support President Johnson's policy, and at the same time labor to assail, oppose and de- feat ikat policy by a bold fight in the next Con- gress, They are now compelled to do one thing or the other—either boldly, manfully, and without any equivocation, endorse him and his policy, or take the alternative’ and bug the Chase Jacobin faotion, with all their revolu- tionary schemes and isms, to their bosom. If they resolve upon the former course, then they must show it by endorsing the ticket and plat- form adopted at Albany, or vest ander the im- putation of being insincere and attracted only in consideration of the spoils and public plun- der. If they choose to promulgate what many of the republican politicians arereally in favor of—universal negro suffrage and the Chase platform—then they will make a beggarly show at the polls, as they very well know. Thus it will be seen that they are sadly nonplussed. No wonder that the republican editors are working themselves into all manner of contor- tion, and trying to make the public believe that the hideous: figure which they present is the democratic party. The flank movement of Grant upon Lee; the bold march of Sherman, assisted by one of the democratic candidates, through the very centre of the enemy's country, is nothing compared with this adroit movement of the democracy of this State upon - 151,079 90,548 ago, is not yet out of danger, The matter stands ad Journed till Tuesday morning. District Attorney A. Oakey Hail, in a communication yesterday addressed by him to Justice Hogan, announced his abandoninent of the proceedings before that magis- trate against the alleged forger and defaulter, Edward B, Ketchum, in consequence of Ketchum being already in- dicted on other charges by the Grand Jury of the Court of General Sessions. Tho investigation, which was to have been renewed to-morrow, in the Tombs Police Court, will therefore not take place, Captain Anderson, of the American ship Villafranca, which arrived at this port a short time ago from London with immigrants, yesterday received a summons to ap- pear before the Emigration Commissioners to-morrow to answer to charges made by his passengers of cruel troat- ment while on the voyage. Justice Shandley had under investigation yosterday some very revolting allegations, wherein policeman Robert W. De Grushea, residing at No. 100 Allen street, and fifty-five years of age, is charged with having forci- bly violated thé person of his niece, an interesting girl only fourteen years of age. De Grushea denies the charge, and says that it is a portion of a conspiracy against him. The investigation stands adjourned till the 18th inst. Thomas Kennedy, a hack driver, was yosterday com- mitted tothe Tombs to await the result of dangerous stabs alloged to have been inflicted by him early yester- day morning, in Chatham square, on John Boyle, of No. 4 Birmingham street, during a quarrel in which the two became engaged about a whip. Hugh Campbell, living at 316 West ‘Ninoteenth stroot, while intoxicated, on Friddy afternoon, was severely stabbed by some unknown person in Ninth avenue, and conveyed to Bellevue Hospital. His assailant has not yot been arrested. An inquest was held yesterday at the First precinct station house by Corongr Gover in regard to the boiler explosion on Friday afternoon in the soap manufactory at No. 52 Stone street, whereby Willard Watson and John Bitiner were killed. Several witnesses were examined, and their testimony was interesting; but it did not result in deciding to whom or what cause the catastrophe was chargeable, and the jury in their verdict did not attempt to fix the culpability. The New York singer delegations, who were engaged in the late Saengerfest in this city, wound up their financial affairs last night. After settling their bills the remaining funds and the property were divided among the societies, whereupon tho delegates adjonrned sine die, A special vote of thanks was tendered to the Naw York Heratp, it being acknowledged that this journal has published the best accounts of the movements of the German singers in this city. The steamship Corsica and the tugboat America col- lided in the barbor yesterday afternoon, when the former was leaving port. Tho Corsica was little injured ; bat the damage received by the America was considerable. Farther particulars of the explosion of the ammuni- tion train bound from Nashville for Johnsonville, Ten. nossee, on Thursday last, noticed im our columns on Fri- day and yesterday, describe the scene immediately sub. sequent to the disaster as of the most appalling charac ter. The ground for a considerable distaneo around was strewn with the Killed and wounded, the fragments of _ the wrecked cars and portions of shattered rocks, troes, earth, &e. The excursion party of English expitalists who ar- rived in this city on Tuesday last reached Meadville, Pa, on the Atlantic and Great Western Railroad, at one o'clock yesterday morning, where an entertainment was awaiting them, comprising a ball and a supper, in which they all immediately took part. They left Meadville for the oll regions, on @ special train, at ten o'clock in the forenoon, and were so pleased with their vialt that they design repeating it to-day. ‘The Illinois Stato Fair at Chicago qlosed yesterday.

In the military court engaged in trying Wirz there was introduced and read yesterday some additional docu- mentary evidence, consisting of a report on the condi- {ion af the Andersonville prison pen,by the rebel Colonc! D. T. Chandler, submitted to the Richmond authorities in the beginning of August, 1804. This report, while de- scribing the horrid condition of the prisoners, and the tortures inflicted on them, charges the culpability for their inhuman treatment principally on Genetal John H. Win- Ber, rebel Commissary General of Prisoners (now dead), ud endeavers to exculpate Wirz, Winder advocated in )old blood to Col. Chandler and others the policy of starv- Jag and torturing the prisoners to death as a means of re- Poving the enclosure of its crowded condition. It would be better, he said, that one-half of them should die. Col. Chandler described the place as one of horrors difficult to depict, and a disgrace to civilization. After the reading of lis report was concluded the Colonel was placed on the witness stand, when he stated that he had no retraction to make in regard to what had just been read, and pro- ceeded to testify to additional details of the sufferings of the captives. The Colonel believed that it ‘would havo been easy to improve the condition of the Sufferers and to supply them with more and better food, if there had been a disposition to do 80, Several ad- Gitional national soldiers who had endured the torments ot the Andersonville prison were examined, and added by their testimony to tho already shocking list of horrors disclosed. circle let us hear no more of those acts which | tive of his office and rid the city of the misor- ‘THE PUBLIC LANDS. bave so much dishonored our city. able, ignorant and incorrigible set of officials, Three thousand eight hundred and aovonty-cight acres who, by their palpable inefficiency and mal- | were taxon up during last month for actual settlement a& the government Land Offico at La Crosse, Wis.

General Slocum has countermanded his order forbid- ding the organization of the State militia in Mississippi by Provisional Governor Sharkey, as a result, we pro- sume, of the letter of President Johnson, published in yesterday's Herat, signifying approval of the Gover- nor’s proceedings. Preparations for the evacuation of Mississippi by the national troops are progressing, at which the citizens are much rejoiced. The marine bar. racks near Vicksburg were destroyed by an incendiary fire on the night of the 6th instant. ‘The Syracuse Journal states that a letter was reccived in that city yesterday from General Slocum, dated at Vicksburg on the 27th ult., in which the General, who ‘was on Thursday last nominated by the New York de- mocracy for Secretary of “tate, announces that he will not under any circumstances be a candidate for civil office this fall. In contradiction of thia statement, how- ever, ithas been confidently asserted in other quarters that General Slocum will accept the nomination of the Democratic Convention.
