The ball of the Grant movement, though not yet thoroughly in motion as a test of national wentiment, is, notwithstanding, #0 nearly ready to be set In motidn as to have become already aques- Wien oftthe utmost political importance. The com- mittee of six, composed of Messrs. Rufus F, An- @rews, Joseph B. Taylor, John Lalor, James W. Booth, Thomas B. Asten and Thomas Murphy, have already put themselves in correspondence with Jeading citizens in the various wards and leading men throughout the State and country, with a view to secere the utmost possi- ble universality in the support of Gen- eral Grant for the Presidency. The Present committee ig intended to act only in the capacity of an organizing body—its furctious being completed when the campaign has been fairly inaugurated. The movement is not intended to be 4 partisan one in any sense—the purpose and pelicy of its initiators being to effect a Combi- nation of the anti-radical and anti-copperhead ele- ments, a combination by which both factions will de left to shift for themselves in the coming Presi- dential contest. The roll of membership will be open to all, regerdless of political antecedent or association, care being taken that the move- ment shall be Jed only by conservative leaders sound on the various questions now agitat- ing the country. No partisan distinctions are to be observed, or in any manner to be put in the ‘ way of permitting an unembarrassed expression of popular opinion. it is expected that the inaugu- ration of the movement upon these principles will be sr ent to break up the present political com- binations, and lead off the people in a general en- thusiastic elevation of the hero of the only suc- eess{ul Union caimpaiga in Virginia to the Presi- dential offi Four clubs have been already organized fn this city, the substantial citizens in several Assembly districts having taken the initiative in the expres- sion of the national feeling in favor of the General. On the 12th of August a large body of the citizens of the Twenty-first ward, under the leadership of ‘Thomas B. Asten and others, organized the first Grant club ever organized in this country. Later the movement was followed in the Second As- sembly district. Still later the Fifth district fell fnto the line, 'and some weeks ago the conservative citizens of the Ninth district broke from party as- sdciations and declared themselves in favor of ‘Grant, by whomsover nominated. The correspondence of the General Committee exhibits, furthermore, a unanimity of sentiment among leading men throughout the Union suffi- eient to warrant the opinion that the next Presi- dential campaign will be conducted by the con- servative masses of the people, with Grant asa candidate, against the disrupted copperhead and radical factions—powerless to stem the current of popular feeling and enthusiasm with any candi- Gates they may select. A meeting of the Grant General Committee will be held to-day, at two o'clock in the afternoon, with a view to making arrangements for a general mass meeting of all advocates of Grant ‘at the earliest possible day. The Grant Movement in Jersey. The signa defegt of the républieans in the elec- tions has dissipated the projects which dazzled their vision as regards the coming year and its results, and the plans which were in progress have to be abandoned. Things look confused. The question now started in every group is how the lost position can be retaken ; and it is curi- ous to observe what an agreement is attained on the Grant movement following so closely on the heels of the late elections. Nobody disputes that the adoption of Grant by the republicans will recover for them all they have lost} and at the same time guarantee a more secure tenure of that power which in the hands of the radicals has been 80 much abused re evuM CuagtEg from the tone of public sentiment, Grant is the man for everybody but the extremes of ultra-radi- cals and copperheads. The overwhelming vote which has routed radicalism from New Jersey ‘would to-morrow carry Grant, over all rivals, for the Presidency. The keynote had sounded from Elizabeth, but it seemed to die onthe air. The elections came, and the radicals were at last con- vinced, by something more powerful than argu- ment, that they were no longer masters of the situa- tion. The sound rings out again; but this time it will not be lost, Grant for President echoes every- where, and the echo is not answered by nays. The men of Hudson City take up the cry, and a club is to be organized at the beginning of mext week. Jersey City follows suit, and Bergen, where Sheridan had been uppermost in men’s minds and was unmistakably the pet, comes in early to announce adhesion to the new pro- gramme. Newark will not long remain out in the cold. A vigorous effort will be made in favor of Gow rc Ward for the Vice Presidency, but whatever betide the enterprise, Grant will head the ticket. Some will eupport him for his military record: others for his liberal and comprehensive Views on the national difficulty, others still for his homane policy, while the radicals themselves will have to fall back on his popularity to save the fabric of republicanism from crumbling to pieces. ‘The Lessons of Opinions of the Press.

It was the republican party that saved the nation from dissetution; to party belongs the work of reorganizing it on the basis of free- dom, equal rights and impartial justice to all, and cementing it by teaching the value of a free and harmonious government. ‘The check we have received proves only that we had become apa- thetic in regard to this all important work. By it the party is admonished of the necessity for arous- ing and purifying itself preparatory to the great battle in which it must engage next year. We are hopeful and undaunted; for to the great princi- ples of righteousness and humanity ‘‘the eternal years of God” are given. With the invincible Grant for our leader we shall “fight it out on this line” next year to a grand and overwhelming victory. [From the New York Demokrat (German), radical.) * fhe republicans have been defeated by them- selves, and that the victory of the democracy is another milestone on the road of reaction, which the people of the United States in the year of 1867 have generally followed. We have on a pre- vious occasion alluded to the character of this general reaction, which, since the fall elec- tions, has. manifested itself against the views of the more progressive oxtion ! the Union party; we have said that this reac- tion is simply banat on the commonest prejudice of race, In other words, the cause of it is the question of negro suffrage and equality; and the victory of the democracy in the State of New York confirms this view. The republican party has been defeated by those republicans whose “Unionism’’ does not exclude prejudice of race, and we are convinced that with the greater part of the German republicans, who during the late election directly or indirectly went against their party, their opposition was grounded on prejudice of race, and that the notorious liquor and Sunday question was used as a welcome pretext os a means to conceal the real ground of their opposi- tion to their prejudice of race.” Speculations en the Probable Fate of the Excise Law. The New Yorker Journal (German democrat) BayRie— The democratic victory ingthis State is more sweeping than at first it was believed. The majority for Secretary of State will probably reach forty thousand. “The Legislature is nearly democratic. Inthe Senate are fifteen democrats and seventeen republicans; in the Assembly the democrats have a majority of fourteen, Under these circumstances it is probable that two or three of the republicans Senators will come to reason, and then an attempt to repeal the infa- mous Excise law could be made already in the next session. It is true, Governor Fenton can prevent this by his veto; but, perhaps, the voice of the people, so clearly outspoken, will not be without influence even on him. Another favorable result will probably follow from this composition of the Legislature. The Constitutional Convention will have to abandon its project to reassemble to complete its radical ‘They would require the consent of the Leg- islature, as their work according to law ought to have been completed before the election. It is cer- tainthat all aemocratic Legislators will protest and demand that the Convention be dissolved. On awhole vote the democrats have a majority of twelve in the Legislature. As the democratic majority in the Assembly will probably increase next year, itis rather eertain that a democratic Senator will be elected in place of Morgan.

Judge Woodward on the Situation. On his return from Europe, Judge George W.. Woodward was publicly received at Wilkesbarre, October 25. It will be remembered that Judge Woodward was nominated, during hia absence and without his knowledge, to fill the vacancy in the Twelfth Congressional district, and was elected by about seven hundred majority. In reply to a con- gratulatory address, Judge Woodward delivered a speech in the course of which he said :— Whilst 1 may well distrust my abifity to serve you acceptably, | can be at no loss about the course you would have me pursue. The restora- tion of the dissevered States to their places in the federal Union, committing suffrage, and ail other local and domestic questions which the con- stitution does not expressly control, to the free and unconstrained action of the several States; the strict subordination of the military to the civil power of the country; the admfssion into the two houses of Congress of,such loyal white representatives as the States may send by a due exercise of the suffrage, uncontrolled by federal bayonets; the restoration to the le of their constitutional currency of gold and silver at the earliest day the busiuess of the country will bear it; the adjustment of all our revenue laws upon such a basis that public credit may be strength- ened, revenue increased and taxation lightened— the revival of trade, industry and commerce throughout our whole country, and to this end the cultivation of a fraternal spirit of amity and con- cord between the States and the people of the States—these were the great objects for which | my pre€ecessor longed and toiled and suffered, and which it will be my duty as it will certainly be my pleasure to promote. And, my fellow citizens, let me say that these were the ends for which the government was instituted. I take my stand beside the constitution of the United States and I say letit have free couree and it will pour out blessings ap- on allthe people of the land. Of passion and angry crimination we have had enough-enough of job- bing and selfseeking, enough of mere party strife; it is time the substantial interests of the country should have attention.

The negro is an object of our kinéest sympathies and should be ted in all bis natural and civil rights; but let never be set up to rule over the white man. Since the diye of kas proved himself usfit for this, and it is madness, the madness of Bedlam, to at- tempt it in afcountry like ours. But if the States can be left to the eajcyment and exercise of their just rights, protected and fostered, but not pressed, by the federal government, the whole continent we inhabit will not préve too wide a theatre for the development of the principles of American liberty, and the imaginetion of men can- not set bounds to the secialshappipess and material prosperity of eur people.

The New Policy in the Old Dominion—White Versus Black—Extermination of the African Resolved Upoa—How It 1s to be Done— The Forces to be Marshalled—Social and Domestic Revolution Inaugurated—African Vigilance Committees—Stagnation of Busl- mess. k Ricuwonn, Oct. 29, 1867, In the ordinary routine of events it would have been supposed that the people here would instantly relapse into their former apathy, that at least affairs would have assumed the old réle. after the elections; but this is not ‘The past is obliterated, and a new era is inaugurated unlike the old one, We are living here together aud must do the best we can, Negroes and white mea used to work in harness, but now they pull in different directions, The elections have fairly demonstrated the fact that the blacks have arrayed themselves in antagonism to the whites. In the whole State, a far as returns have been received the negroes have voted in solid phalanx againet the whites; they, if the teach- ings of Hunnicutt are to be understodd are now to be the masters—the whites, the hewers of wood and drawers water, As the negro orator on Taylor's farm, near Nor- folk said, “The time will come when I can say to the white man, come here, John, and black my boots, and he will come, he must come,”” So it would appear from the unanimity with which the negro vote was cast that the negroes intend to rule, intend tobe tho masters, Th inst Families” and Virginia beauties, under the Hunnicutt programme, are to be the valets de chambre, waiting maids, hostlers and general attendants of the aristocrats of Dahomey, and tho Sambos and Dinahs who formerly setved them in a like capacity, This is the decree under the Africanization dispensa- tion, and this the sable adherenta of the incendiary Hunnicutt are anxiously looking forward to see inaugurated, But this can never be, The whites have conceived other, and though not totally opposite notions, yet such as will materially canflict with the grandiloquent expectations of the sanguine African. I said just now & new era was inaugurated, The old one is pot practicable, and has to be flung aside as a worthless and exceedingly troublesome affair. Tue avo- ition of slavery made @ change; tl franchisement of the negroes sanctified that it resulted sadly and disastrously for the African race when for the first time they cast their bailots, Biack versus white is now the order of the day at the South, and notwithstanding all the Jegislation can or wiil do, is it not easy to be seen which will be successful in the issue? One race must live here and rule at the Sout the other must be ruied or be exterminated. Shal. the whites give way before the domineering and semi-barbarous African? Shail the Old Dominion be surrendered to the savages ot Dahomey, the followers of duvaicutt, aud the aspirants for political supremacy mm the whole country? The auswer to these questions comes indigrantiy—No, Virginians have said it; Ohio has said it, and New York will say it, with a voice of —— that will be echoed at the utmost ends of the eat A gew policy bas commenced here. No longer will Sambo and Dinah be the plantation hands, the house servants, the nurses or the hostiers of Virginia.* Pain(ul ‘nant as are the menial services of any white man to the Southerner, it is resolved upon, and henceforward in the South white men and white women will serve each other. Tbe line has been drawn between the races here, and the negro himself has marked it out in such strong colors that the blindest are dazzled by it. bd It will be a hard task for the *bosa’’ of old to give up the familiar Sambo for the white servant. Tne Virginian belle, used to the tattie and chit-chat of the dark hued Dinah, with whom she played when agirl, will feel a natural oddness and, repugnance to having her toilet made and ali tne mysteries of her youthful existence investigated by a smart apd {atelligent waiting maid of her own color. This, however, is resolved upon, and Unis is not all; the farm and plantation will no longer resound with the old happy song of the darkey when he worked contentedly before politics marred his vision; the time honored “‘corn-shuckings,”” when song and the ““OldgVirgiuia brake down” enlivened the scene, will be abandoned and a new element will fil the wonied place of the poor deluded African, Already the exiled Poles are finding cheerful and happy homes among the hospitable peopie of Virginia, who have cast off their accustomed dignity aud made “hall fellow well mot” with the industrious immigrant, besides lending him a helping hand, and rendering bis new home as much like the old one as in their power in a social point of view. The Hungarian, fresh from bis own oppressed home, will breathe anew the free air of the Old Domin- jon and joia hands with the natives in making ita white man’s country, Then comes the stolid German, now divested of his petty nationality aud forced to accept the rule of Prussia, giad to become a citizen of the far-famed republic of the Western Henlepbes. and lastiy we havo the sturdy Irishmaa, with bis Fenian proclivities at neart, the opposiag element of the vegro race, settling in Virginia to toster bis hate of Engiand and strive against the old laborer of the South. These are the ele. ments of intelligence, strength and force that will be brought to bear against the deluded, sable follower of Huoniéat, These are the armies that will be marshalled against the African, whose ambition is now to control the national issues of a white man’s country; aud these are the peopie who ail will feel whe African as their enemy, aud be must be rooted out. Such is the policy now inaugurated in the Ola Domin- fon, and it 18 uo speculation or wild vagary to say that it will be steadily pursued and faithfully carried out to the Jeter, antit no Jonger African influence will be politically felt in tue State that gave birth to Washington, Jeffer- son, Mason, Henry, Marshal, Lewis, Nelson and'Clay. As a first consequence of triumph over the white race here, 1 find one of the barbarous relics of slavery—vigi- gilance committees—commenced by the blacks, in imita- tion of the wuives of a former day. Citizens who pub- licly expressed themselves opposed to the policy of the ambitious Hunpientt were served with ‘ notice to leave ”” in forty-eight hours by the sable commitiee, or they should abide by the consequences, which meant “tar and feathers,” or ‘strong hemp,” though the Africans m ght feel a litte yoy in giving a Northern man, or one of their jate masters, a wholesome ‘thirty-nine.’’ ‘This is but the beginning of the end. it a beggar on a borse, and he will ride to the devil.

Among the gentlemen seen on the platform were the well known faces of James Brown, Peter Cooper, William Wood, Robirt Dillon, Nathaniel Sands, Jeremiah P. Robinsop, Jap 3. Wil- liams, William E, Dodge, Jr., Johm Armitropg and Henry E. Pierrepont, The mecting was called to order a few minutes past three o'clock by Mr, Pater Coorsr, who, after a few words, introduced Mr, A. A, Low as chairmat. Mr, Tracy then made the following address, in which he sketched the motives of the citizens assembled for calling the present meeting, He said:—The defective. ness of the wharves and piers of this city dees not need to be made known, The traveller who comes into our port wonders at the spectacle of inferior asd decaying wooden piers and bulkheads and of foul slips; and the practical men who mahage vessels and take (n and dis- charge cargo find outto their cost that time, conven- jence and economy are grossly wasted by reason of the want of adecuate and suitable ducks and dock arran) ments. At this chief commercial point, to which endless interior rivers and lakes, and by railroa which cover the continent ag with a .net, the products of the forest, the farm, the furnace, the mill and the workshops come down to the sea, and where 1 return arrive the vessels not only from our own extensive coast, but from every ocean and port in the world, all calling forthe most abundant and most perfect 4 accommodations for safe and speedy lading and unloading, as essential to so great a port, the actuai state of such matters confessedly is shabby and mean, not only unworthy of the city but injurious to its trade, The American marine which carries our noble fiag through all the seas, showing everywhere the periection of our naval architectare, the skill of our shipmasters, the bravery of our sailors, and the enterprise of our merchants, surveys the noble docks of foreicn countries, but returns to meet the cold welcome of wooden piers of inferior sort, and to encounter the annoyances of crowded quays aud cramped ‘os, full of impedi- ments, where everything should be convenient. i3, the third city of the world in the importance of its commerce, is, in this regard, far behind many of its lesser rivals. But pags from the present state of things and contemplate the future of the port of New York— its tonnage constantly and rapidly increasing, the ‘line of prairie and forest of North America stoadily falling back as tture ‘upon it, and the’ heightened art of cultivation everywhere augmenting the products of the soil, the railway across the continent growing two or three miles a day towards the Rocky Mountaing, and the trade of Asia to turn its vast current ‘upon our western coast for the quick passage by loco- motive train to our doors. This island, in the midst of deep rivers, with spacious and secure harbors, with a doudle outlet to the ocean, at the mouth of ariver, canal and lake navigation of unequalled ex- tent and value, in the temperate zone, and at the latitude of the mean temperature of the inhabited world, has ‘@ commercial destiny far surpassing the present and fu- ture of any other point on earth, upiess it shall be marred by mismanagement and neglect, But the great- est national advantages cannot prevail unless wisdom and be used, and other cities which liberally provide for the conveniences of commorce and watch over them assiduously may take away from New York the inheritance which it can and should secure. If we wait for the government to take up the matter of wharves and docks we must wait among the throng which beset the government and take our poorchance of being remembered wnen the controversies bout currency, protection, free trade, taxation, reconstruction, suffrage and every other na- tional subject of that sort shall bave been ended, and when the millonnium shall have cleared the capital of underers whose business is to make themselves annual ividends out of corrupt legislation. There is but one way to control this ir and pat it forward. It is by Uhe united action of the merebants and capitalists of this city. They are here together, They can confer and plan and act. Mr. Tracy. then went on to trace the present system of dock and pier accommodation, and compared it with that of Liverpool, London and other large cities, much to the depreciation of the Empiro City, which, with all ite wealth, ought certainly to have a better state of things existing. ir. Dopce then proposed, and Mr, Everett seconded, the foliowing RESOLUTION. Whereas the wharves and plers of the city of New York ave in a condition disgraceful to our city and m- jurious to our commerce; and whoreas the wharf aud pier system of this port is inadequate £0 meet tho public wants, and is far behind the system that exists in the reat cities of Europe; and whereas the city of New ‘ork is rapidiy absorbing the foreign trade of our coun- try, which in 1865amounted to $571,036,933, of which New York had 090,623; and whereas New York, by reason of ition, is destined to become the com- mercial centre of the world, and should have a wharf and pier system that would be an honor to ity and prove commevsurate with the public wants; and whereas the question of providing ample dock accom- modations for the trade of this port 1s of importance not only to the city of New ¥« Dut is one in which the whole State and nation have ¢ deopest and most direct interest; and whereas radical are demanded in our wi system of wharves and piers; and whereas, to prop@ly decal with a subject of sucb vast importance, and to develop a plan or system that will mect with united support, it is necessary that the shipping. bank- ing, commerc.al, manufacturing and other great interests to be 7 pg should confer in reference thereto; thero- f it osolved, That A.

F. Noyes was invited to the desk, and made a brief address in adrocacy of the reforms BA ened Mr. Noyes was of the opinion that there could be no contro- versy in relation to the subject. There was no commer. cial man in the great metropolis who did not feel and comprehend the existing evils embodied in a rotten wharf system and a hundred or #0 of rotten and decay- ing wharves. in the session of 1866-67 the subject was agitated, and @ bill was presented which covered the reforms, There was some prospect that the bill be passed; but fifty thousand dollars weot to Albany before the vote was taken, and the advocates of it wore gcattered to the winds, The onl: way, fore, was to create a public sentiment whic could not and would not permit New York to,be embar- rassed in her commerce by a wharf orld, There was no hecessity to compare statistics. ee Position of the city, and the vast enter- prise of its commercial population were sufficient to settle ‘that point. Her shipping interest was nearly ee to that of Lendon, and ought to be far superior. Ir, Noyes concluded with a spirited exhortauon to the business men of New York to advocate with arguments of logic and greenbacks at the coming session of the ‘sulijoct was thon referred to tho representatives of the commercial population present, and considerable expression of opinion, pro and con, was ventilated. On the one band it was maintained that with the pay for wharfage at present obtained \t was impossible for owners of wharf property to build and ke®p in repair wharves af the list of prices paid. These opinions were ably controverted by the other members of the audience, among Whom were Messrs. C, Goodiver and William Nel-on, The resolutions were then adopted unanimousty, Mr. Witttam Woon, the Eoglish banker, was then in- vited to speak, and recounted his impressions upon first landing in New York. ihe New York system thought he, Mr. Wood, was excollont for the commercial age a quar. tor of @ century ago.
