There was no half-masting of flags to way tothe expectant, “Races are postponed on ac- count of the weather,” and New York Fashion was on the second day gratified with that which had been denied her on the first, viz., @ pleasant day and ® jaunt to the Fordham racecourse. Whether Fash- fon was contrary or in no mood for the jaunt, or was otherwise engaged, or whatever was the matter, Fashion was not so punctual in her attend- ance a8 was the capricious empress last spring. A day’s delay had possibly dampened, for the day of delay was a damp one or had possibly cooled her ardor; and whereas last spring a perfect serpent of vehicles wound to Jerome Park on the first race day, wound four abreast or three abreast and without a lost link in the backbone of the black procession that crawled through the Central Park northward, this spring, on the other hand, there ‘Were multitudinous breaks in the vertebrated giant and the vehicles that composed it were numbered by taller than their fellows, are thus impressed unio service as vehicles for the evasion of payment to the ticket vender of the just price of a ickeG. 1 wih be noted also, while telescoping in this direction, that a couple of vendors of lager at tweaty-2ve ceats a glass have erected their booths at conveniens points alot the heights, and are (to use & Gecmanism pees a) also a Yankeeism) driving capital Dargand in the beverage.

The before men- tioned bottles of enthusiasm are brought forth to be uncorked, but the tever heat is ag yet wanting. The Racin After the postponement of the racing on Tuesday weather set in delightfully on Wednesday morning, with a cool air and bracing atmosphere—just such & day as was favorable for good racing, and a large attendance of fashionable visitors, Nevertheless, the track was quite dead and heavy and the running, although it may be considered good, was not 80 faat as it would have been under more auspicious con- ditions, There were four races on the programme, the first of which was called the Fordham Stakes, a dash of a mile and a quarter, a handicap race, the hundreds instead of thousands, Perhaps, too, theab- | horses being weighted according to thelr sence of the master spirit of the project may have | supposed carrying ability, #0 as to make contributed some little to dampen the popular ardor, | them as nearly equal as possible. There mo litfle of the popularity of the Fordham race ground having been due to the personal popularity of ita founder. Perhaps, furthermore, some little of this dampering may have been due to the dim suspicion on the part of the public that a Jess generous and large hearted liberality might possibly be engrafted upon the management of we spring meeting. Perhaps one, perhaps all, perhaps none of these considerations may have ope- rated, and in this three-men-Morris of “perhapses” at is not worth the while to be positive about any- thing. To say the least, those who had brought bot- ties of enthusiasm did not venture to uncork them, ad those who had not were saved the trouble of were thirty-two entries for this race, seven only of which came to the post—Stonewall Jackson, the winner of the stakes; General McMahon, Richard B. Connolly (lately known as Clement), Raquette, Maid of Honor, General Yorke and Enchantress. Stone- wall Jackson and Gencral McMahon, the first two'in the race, both belong to Captain Moore's stable and were general favorites before the start, it being the current sped yee among sporting men that one or the other of them would win the race. The horse Connolly was also held pretty high by his friends, backed him strongly to win, his late race at Se- 3 having inspired great confidence in hia racing powers. In this instance, however, he did not come artying them home again as innocent of | up to the expectations of his backers, He did not corkscrew and pop and fizz as though | run as he did at Hoboken, and was beaten quite there had been no fizz in them; for, be | easily by both Stonewall Jackson and General it remembered, enthusiasm ts like sparkling hock in | McMahon. the respect that whenever it is uncorked a fizz (or fizzle) is sure to be the consequence. Three things may be stated. The road thither was in excellent condition, but at least one half the vehicles were wanting; the track was in excellent order and the blooded knights of the hoof were in excellent The second race was for the Belmont Stakes for three year old's, a dash of a mile and three-cighths, This stake closed with twenty-eight entries, but only six of them made their appearance at the post at the signal for starting.

When we first saw this fast — year, was wanting and even the | colt, General Duke, run at Saratoga last seaon in his naif that was there kept its enthusiasm bottled bor the second day. Some new regulations had also Deen introduced which were not altogether popular, though generally the affair was conducted in & popu- lar vein, All vehicles, except those with the club dadge, were compelled to ticket drivers and foot men, a regulation which, a8 many of the carriages were provided with three or four footmen in live! was attended with more expense than Most bearers of the red “please-to-wear-con- spicuousiy’’ were willing to incur. The consequence was that the audience without was quite as large as the audience within, and that ladies were compelled to alight without the gate and soil their slippers by a tramp to the main stand, or invoke their lords of the red badge to ticket footmen and driver, thus Involy- ing @ financial question upon people who are some- times a little sensitiv ere was some |.ttle curs- ing, too, on the part of the lords in question, and more on the part of the gentlemen in livery, though ft was ali Co no purpose. The customary band, which had formerly played with noisy brass from the club house balcovy, was also absent; and, having nothing else with which to begutie the tediam of waiting, gentlemen had recourse to betting, and, betting ff som@ cases very injuditiously, suffered in pocket thereby, Moreover, those who had no liking for the wager, took to lager at twenty-five cents @ giuss ‘and very bad whiskey at thirty by way of 6«'sing a bead upon the liquor of their enthusiasm, which was really waxing stale for want of carbonic id gas; thus depleting their pockets with almost equal rapidity, be: befuddling their wits and endering themse ltable to illustrate the wittl cism of Dr, Jewett, of “straining bad whiskey through hereby spolling the strainer’?

He is now all right, and won Nis race yesterday in gallant style. only horse that ap- roached him in point of speed was Northumber- jand, who ran @ very good second, but was unable to push the Duke at any point of the running, as the Duke took the lead at the start and kept it through- out. Great hopes had been entertained of the Molly Jackson filly, Fanny Liadiow. She may be a clipper for aught we know to the contrary, but the mantle of her illustrious dam did not seem to have enyel- oped her on this occasion, a8 she made but indiffer- ent running. As regards her peas appearance she is extremely beautiful and her racing form en- tirely unexceptionabie. ‘The third race was for the Hopeful Stakes for two year olds.

Owing to @ misapprehension on the part of the ders the Morris colt, Glengary and Cannie Bai! got off without the word, and ran all the way around, at the latter part of it under the whip and spur. This bad the effect of pretty well pumping out the trio, so much so that when called on to startin reality they were not in proper condition to do 80 and were beaten. Mr. Imont’s Fenian would probably have won the race had he not unfortanately bolted twice during its ogress. As it was he ran in @ good third.

POLITICAL INTELLIGENCE. WARD POLITICS AND WARD POLITICIANS. Tour of the Sixteenth and Twenticth Warde The Choice of the Democracy for Presl- dent—The Candidates for Local Offices. ‘The upper section of the city of New York—and by the upper section we mean that portion of the city which is located above Fourteenth street—possesses features which, ag they mark it distinctively in social resemblance from the lower and more popu'ous portion of this city, has also its distinct potitical characteristics, Below Fourteenth street the local ward rings under the influence of local political barons exercise @ sort feudal tyranny over the voters, and the machine has unlimited sway. Above Fourteenth street, however, we breathe a purer atmosphere and the democracy, more independent in purse, dre also more restive of political control. Of the upper wards the SIXTEENTH WARD is perhaps the most favored, the closeness of the vote between the democracy and the radicals on local candidates makes it necessary for the leaders toconciliate the hardfisted, and hence each man has his value, There is in this ward no distinct poll- tical leader like Tweed, of the Seventh ward; Hayes, of the Fourteenth; Norton, of the Eighth; Fox, of the First; Brennan, of the Sixth; Cornell, of the Seventeenth, or Loew, of the Eleventh; but the Tam- many General Committee of the ward contains a number of men each of whom’ is a leader, among whom may be mentioned Emanuel B.

Waterbury, while Peter Trainor smokes delicate cigars and compares poll- tics to groceries, and the crafty Alexander Frear, while musing of Glenn, probaby thinks of Chase and nurses the thought for a ripe fruition. The political contests of this ward have been severe and well con- tested, and have been Taught upon strategic princi- ples, and the three great leaders, John Brice (gene- ralissimo of the Tammany forces), John Hardy (com- mander of a strong force of free lances) and Thomas E. Ledwith, with the foriorn hope of the once power- ful Mozurt organization, have in many elec- tions displayed consummate skill inthe management of their forces, and their scarred veterans can show many trophies of emit! (now on exhibition at the Civic Museum in the City Hall). But these contests are of the past, and the one hope that now animates them is to rout the radicals, Plant the staudard of victory over the custom houses aud the navy yards, and to dispossess the swindling republicans; who have grown rich upon their coun- try’s ruin, of their fat places, and to stop the Treas- ury leaks, 4c. To accomplish this end they are pre- pared to go for the ‘friend’ of John Cochrane, should he receive the regular nomination, and will poll a vote inthe Twentieth ward without @ parallel in its political history. The Cardozo Democratic Club, This club, which did effective service at the time of the last State election, was reorganized last even- ing at the Berlyn House, 46 East Broadway, for the Presidential campaign, The attendance, which was considerable, was made up principally of democrats of Israelitiah descent, with an admixture of Milesians of similar aMaities. Jacob P. Solomon was appoluted temporary chairman and Abraham Hersh- ficid temporary secretary. In accepting the honor conferred upon him by his associates, Mr. Solomon made an address stating the objects of the organiza- tion, and drew a parallel between the record of the Jewish nation and the history of the democratic party. He said inthe olden time a people chosen for the expression and propagation of certain high principles, for centuries while they were united, and guided their policy and conduct by the teachings of these truths, were invincible and reared a magnifi- cent temple to the worship of their Deity; but when internal diasensions crept in among them, weakened by divisions they succumbed to the invader and their temple was destroyed. Dispersed for a time, many of them forgetting the traditions of the past, for- saking the religion of their forefathers, wandered from the true fold and sought strange gods. But after a time being reunited they again sought the places of Cg and with trowel in one hand and sword in the other built another temple on the site of the old far transcend- ing it in grandeur, and again bid deflance to their enemies, The democratic party for years controlled: the policy and conduct of this government and reared & magnificent tem} of liberty, the admira- tion of the world. While united they re- lied every assault of those who sought their lestruction; but, assailed by internal dissensiona, and weakened by division, they succumbed to their foes, and the temple they reared was shattered. Broken up and disorganized, many among them wandered from the true fold and sought alliance with their enemies, Again united, theygire about to return to the promised land, and will fear another temple exceeding in proportion that which was destroyed. He then wi the necessity of united and determined action in the Presidential ne on the part of all who sought the per- petuity of free institutions. Addresses were also made by Messrs. Hershfleid and Casey, reviewing the acta of the Lg i and urging union and con- cert of action on the part of all democrats. Over fifty members were enrolled and committees on per- manent organization and to petition the Common Council to designate more polling places in the city were appointed, after which the mecting adjourned, sabject to the cali of the chair Now Jersey Democratic Convention. At twelve o'clock yesterday tie Convention was called to order by Judge Naar, chairman of the Ex- ecutive Committee. Mr. S.J. Bayard was appointed temporary chairman of the Convention. Mr. Bay- ard on taking his seat sald that they were convened for the purpose of taking Initiatory steps to rescue the country from the desperate and wicked thieves that now control the government. When the demo- cratic party return to office there will be @ thrill of joy wide and deep from the Atlantic to the Pacidc. (Cheers.) C. 0, Hudnut, of Mercer; T. Height, of Monmouth, and James W. Fouratt, of Essex, were elected tem- porary secretaries. Committees of one from each county were appointed as Comritices on Permanent Organization, Rules and Resolutions, A motion was carried that all resolutions offered in the Conven- tion be referred without debate to the committee on resolutions. ‘The Convention then took a recess for an hour and a half, end at half-past two reassembied, when the Committee on Permanent Organization reported the officers nominated, viz. :—Presitent, Mr. W. 0. Alex- ander, of Mercer county, and vice presidents from esch commty ant secretaries from each Congressional diatrict, Mf.

That the restoration of good government can be ob- tained by any other instrumentality than that of the old, gennine democratic principles is not believed. ‘Though the democratic fre might for a time seem extinguished it still smouldered only to be renewed ‘with increased vigor, Now let them enter on this work and labor ag though tho reault depended on each one’s individual efforts and they will achieve that conquest to which they are now moving.

PeRbeolved, That the only hope of the country is the restoration of the democratic party to power. Under ita wise and censervative rule the people have ever prospered; and, on the contrary, its defeat has inva- ri been tae source of disaster and misrule. Resolved, That we are opposed to all forms of re- udiation of the national indebtedness, and insiat at the pi faith of the government, at home and abroad, be maintained inviolate. Resolved, That the gratitude of the people of New Jersey is due to those brave men who maintained the honor of the flag by sea and by !and in the war for the preservation of the Union. Resolved, That as this is the first time that the democracy of the State have met by their represen- tatives in convention since the close of the admit. tration of the Hon. Joel Parker, it pEae to is conduc! trying period of the country’s history, when with the prudence and wisdom of good statesmanship he fulfilled all the obligations of the State to the. fe 1 government, and at the same time baal the civil and poitticai rights of the people and maintained the poor of the efvil over the military power. Resolved, That we pi our Sawareniag’ sup- port to the nominee of the National Democratic Con- vention to assemble in the city of New York on the 4th day of July next; that without intending in any way to instruct our delegates New Jersey would feel honored by the nomination of ex-Governor Joel Parker a3 acandidate for the office of President of the United States. Each of the counties nominated delegates at large to the National Convention as follows:—John McGregor, 373; Jacob R. Wortendyke, 453; Richard S. Stevens, 498; James W. Wall, 127; David Naar, 126; Thomas McKean, 587; F. S. Leithropp, 408; R. M. Price, #7, and Joseph Randolph. Messrs, McKean, Stevens, Wortendyke and Leithropp receiving the largest number of votes were declared duly elected delegates at large, Ce aye delegates were next elected, with the following result:—First district—Samuel Stille, Isaac Smalles. Second district—Henry 8. Little, Charles E. Henrickson. Third district—Miles Ross, Rynear H.. Veght. Fourth district—David Dodd, Thomas Kane. fifth district—John K. Mugpney, George Peters. ‘The assembly was decidedly adverse to giving any positive instructions to the delegates in the choice of acandidate. Though Joel Parker is mentioned in the resolution above given he is by no means a favor- ite. In the. circles which may be styled the “clubs” of Trenton last night and the night revious there was shown & most unequivocal pre- ference for Chase. The delegates from Hudson and Essex counties in particular urged his name. One speaker at the Nationa} Hotel, whose remarks were listened to with the deepest attention, observed that if the course recom: jed by the New York HERALD be adopted by the democracy they will assuredly win. Hendricks, of Indiana, has a few friends here. ‘There was much caucusing about the gubernato- riai nomination, no less than eight gentlemen being named for the position, The Convention adjourned at a quarter to five o'clock.

Perkins, of Jeiferson. No preference for candidates was expressed, but the general feeling among those forming the Conven- ion seemed to be in favor of either Chase or Han- cock, and most decidedly in opposition to Pendleton, The opinion was expressed among prominent leaders of the party that the Western delegates will pro- bably be the only firm advocates of Pendleton, and that unless they submit to, the majority and Chase the party will be split, the same as at Charleston. With a united action, however, they believe that with such aman as Chase or Hancock the democratic party will stand a good show of success, Judge Chase and His Last Letter. The Albany Evening Journal—radical—says the Chase movement takes a new coloring in the publi- cation of the letter from the Chief Justice, dated 25th May, published in the HERALD of the Sth inst. It doubts the genuineness of the letter, and adds:—“It is hard to believe that the democratic leaders can have proceeded so far without some previous knowl- edge of the views entertained by the Chief Justice, amd without an assurance that these were more in accordance with the sentiments of the democracy. But if Mr. Chase really stands bpee the principle of universal suffrage as established by the laws of Con- ress the democrats are at sea again. They must look elsewhere for a candidate; and the fact that they are compelled to do so will prove no small tri- umph for the reactionary or Pendletonian tnterest."” The Hartford Times—democratic organ in Connecti- cut—has the following in regard to the same letter:— “The Chief Justice says he cannot go with his party into all the devious and dangerous ways which their views of expediency may dictate, but that he must adhere to the ‘old lights’ instead of the ‘new.’ He adheres in a very explicit manner to his doctrine of what he calls ‘universal suffrage,’ and hopes the democratic party will not take any position to over- throw this principle. His position is understood to be universal amnesty and universal suffrage—voting for all*-rebeis, whites and blacks, There ts no proba- bility that the National Democratic Convention wilt take that position, The principles of the democratic party are Well understood. But there is no harm in judge Chase giving expression to his views if he de- sires to do so." The Chief Justice and the Democracy. The Nashville Cnion—democratic organ in Ten- nessee—argues at length against the democrats nominating Judge Chase, concluding as follows:— “The nomination of Mr. Chase at New York ts scarcely in the pale of probability; and doubt very much if he would accept it if tendered, It isscarcely credible that a single act of Mr. Chase—his admir- able and truly noble bearing as presiding oMcer of the impeachment trial—will induce the representa- tives of a party founded in and vived all the fluctuations and mutations of the inter- zation dis.

There will be no necessity for the blank space after next November, for then Colfax himsolt will be politically defunct. ‘The Charlottesville (Va.) Chronicia, one of the most influential! conservative papers in the State, in com- menting upon the views of a correspondent in oppe- sition to the nomination of Chase by the democrats, says:—'We would, of course, very greatly prefer Pem- dieton, and hope that the Northern sentiment is suck that he may be elected; but, identified as he was with the peace party during the war, we cannot think his chances very good.” “Mack” writes to the Cincinnati Commerctal that the choice in the New York Convention is “betweem Chase and Pendleton. All talk of other candidates ts leather and prunella.” That will make the prospect, then, more hopeful for the tanner. The Albany Journal states that one demoorat, pressing upon another the propriety of nominating Chase on account of his inflexible Armness, received ag a reply that he never before knew it was ‘wise im any party to covet a stern Chase.” ‘The Boston Traveller—radical when it chooses te be—referring to Chase’s nomination by the de mocracy, suggests “whether the leaders of the party can find reason for hope with a candidate for whom the party has no enthusiasm, and who tolerates (te approaches in the same spirit that a jilted, tady accepts the advances of one lover to compensate for the coldness of @ former one, and to show to the world that she {s not quite forsaken, remains to be seen.
