POLITIOAL INTELLIGENCE. The Fourth of July Convention. ‘The Mobile Advertiser gives oMcial notice that ac- commodations have been made with the Metropoll- tan Hotel for the Alabama delegation to the Demo- cratic Convention. The Wilmington (N. C.) Sentinel says a similar arrangement has been made with the New York Hotel for the North Carolina delegation. Commutation tickets will be sold by all three of the rallreads between New York and Chicago for the ac- commodation of those who desire to attend the National Convention, The railroad and steamboat Innes South have made similar arrangements, Great Increase of Public Interest in the Com- ing Presidential Contest—A Veteran Demo- crat Gives a “Bit of His Mind to the Boys”— The Empire Clubs of This City All Chase Men—The New Wigwam Not a Party but @ National Temple. As the time rapidly approaches when the first great issue of the Presidential campaign is to be decided, there is a greatly increasing interest manifested among the magnates of the democratic party in this city and State as to the duty that lies before them. With the masses of the people, conservative repub- leans and democrats, the nomination of Chase is the whole thing talked of and the one great thing de- sired. The duty of the Democratic National Conven- tion is the chief topic of conversation and debate in every small and large coterie of politicians wherever twu assemble, Around the City Hall, the courts, the public offices, and their adjuncts, the public houses and saloon the question as to what the Convention ie likely; to do is debated with a warmth and an earnestness almost reminding one of election day, when bets run high upon the candidates in the field. One veteran democratic politician was several times during yesterday the centre of an excited crowd, Tight in front of a favorite rendezvous, partaking somewhat of the character of the old Pewter Mug, once so popular with and dear to the democracy of Gotham in days past; and as he declared what his Own views were with regard to the duty of the Con- vention, he was decidedly sustained by the affirma- tive responses an \d ejaculations of his listeners. “I tell you as how it is: all through the up town wards the boys are for Chase, if he gets the nomina- tion, mind you.” ‘That's right. Captain, how are the Empire Club boys going?’ asks one of the auditory. ae are going with the Convention; but I'll tell you @ bit of my mind on that, I think the Convention will first go with the sound democratic boys of the Empire clubs.” This called forth lowd laughter, and the Ey was asked for another “bit of his mind.” “I'll tell you, then: I have been an active politician for forty years, as you all know or may have heard, and in all that time and in all the experience of that time I never ‘witnessed such revolution in favor of any one man a8 this revolution in favor of Chase.” “But will he come u) the requirements of the Convention on the sui juestion?” asks another. ‘He stands ht up it now,” was the reply. “The first ipie of democracy is that a man shall we the right of private opinion upon any and all political questions. Mr. Chase entertain an opinion in favor of negro but if he, as the nominee or candidate of the party, declares that he shall be guided by the constitution in the settlement of that question, leav- ing it where it belongs—to the different States—that 1g good enough democracy for me, and ought to do for the Convention. But they say that at a late caucus of Tammany men it was decided to drop Chase; what do you say tothat?” “I say,” quickiy replied the veteran, ‘‘that it was a weak invention of the oe, and you must be very weak to take it in. Turn in there and get something to rour- was received with hteenth warder, when the spoke of the enthusiasm with which Chase’ was received at a meeting of the Empire Club of the Sixteenth ward held the previous evening, said that. in his (the hhteenth) ward the democrats are all Chase men. Notwithstanding this unanimity among the people, an uneasy feeling en en that in face of the expecied strong stand that will be taken by the Western delegates for Pendleton some com- taken up, one not yet named, ty those States claiming in such an event to ave an available man will each go in for their own — create confusion and dissension in the Oon- jon. No course is yet decided on as to the reception of the delegates. The subject has been under consider- ation, and though not yet definitely so arranged, the suggestion of there belng no public or formal recep- top was favorably consider: It is expected that, whenever ible, a committee of the Tammany Hall men will meet the delegates at steamboat or depot and accompany them to their hotels, But the reception of the igo ye on the morning of the Fourth at the wigwam will be @ grand and im- posing affair, for which preparations on a most exten- sive scale are being made, the details of which are not yet completed. Fourteenth street, between Third and Fourth avenues, will be the great centre of popular attraction during the sitting of the Con- vention; and the building itself, the new wigwam, within which that Convention will hold council, may be rendered by one great, wise and patriotic act on the part of the Convention a temple, not of a party, but a temple to awaken the feelings and sympathies of all who love their country, and who will potut to it in the future with ae and bequeath their memo- ries of it to their children’s children as the temple within whose walls the country received a new bap- tism of liberty, national unity and greatness. Everything is being done by the Committee of Ar- nT ments, not only to give éciat to the proceedings of the e| day, but to give additional lustre to that éclat to the end. It is to be hoped that the tem- porary eclat will be perpetuated in the great results to the people, to the government and to the nation ‘that it ia in the power of the Convention to achieve. Young Men’s Democratic General Committee. The Central Campaign Club and Young Men's General Committee will hold a meeting this evening fat Masonic Hall, No. 114 East Fourteenth street, for the purpose of taking measures for a more thorough organization of ward or district clubs. The committee will take up its headquarters in the new Tammany Hall as soon as that edifice is finished, where @ reading room will be open to the public. Weekly meetings will also be held, at which distin- guished speakers will discuss the merits of the Preai- dential nominees. PROGRESS OF THE CHASE MOVEMENT. name WILKESBARRE, Pa., June 15, 188, To THE Epitor or THs HERALD:— The movement in favor of Salmon P. Chase is spreading like @ prairie on fire. With Chase we de Seat the radical revolutionary party. Why should we hesitate amoment? With the election of Grant rad- iealism, 1 ys bg nconstitutional enact- ments rule the day. Wit! jase We sweep every- thing. Accompanying 1 send article ftom the Lu- zerne Unton, democrat. Opinions Pro and Con of the Newspaper Presa. [From the Luzerne (Pa.) Union, June 10—democrat.} Salmon P. Chase, Chief Justice of the United States, and @ man fit to fill that high station, is freely spoken of by democrats of the most pronounced character asthe strongest man for the democratic party. It seems strange to us to speak of Judge Chase as a democrat, so long and bitterly have we been opposed ‘to him; but we cannot doubt his democracy to-day; indeed, if we put aside his freesoil and anti-slavery record we would at any time in his career have called him a democrat. But we cannot question the prin- ciple of @ man who has taken the course which Judge Chase has taken. He pursued the path of duty as a judge and a citizen; he sustained the constitution, he opposed the enemies of popular liberty, and he ‘Onde himeelf, without any act of his, in the arms of the democratic party and in full sympathy with them. Honest, brave and true, he now lives and moves in the ranks of the ever boid and ever faithful people. Ali questions eoming from slavery are silenced. The men, of whom Judge Chase is the representative, ask us to give them a pledge that they will be hon- constitution.” What shall we do—be yield our party spirit, or—with ati! pags to our fall? We say that if the people ask for the nomination of Judge Chase let it be made. ‘The highest policy in this matter is to follow thei: ‘wishes, {From the ae oe — moderate radical.) Twenty-four members of the democratic del tion of Ohio to the National Convention had a caucus at the Burnet House ® few days ago. It turned ont that the notion of nominating Chase had found its way even into the Ohio delegation. The development of this idea was not very formida- bie, but ite presence was are with apprehen- sion. The special subject of the discussion by the convention Was the financial policy of the party. it turned out that only seven out of the twenty-four wee were converts to the Pendietonian doc- tre of paying the national debt in greenbacks. From the Cincinnati Chronicle—rank radical.) The apectacie proposed is impressive. The Chief Justice, nominated by the democracy, will give us the earnest and life-long advocate of universal suffrage leading the masses that cry out, “A white man's government, apd death to thé negro.” The great creator of our national debt will have followers who shout repudiation. The father of bondholders and national banks will command men who seek to trample down the rights of both. It will make amall odde to the rank and file if the leaders #0 ordain, But the stomach of the Chief Magistrate ahoukl be preserved in some national museum, as that of a great man Who bartercd away his weil earned fame merous necked NEW YORK HERALD, THURSDAY, JUNE 18, 1868—TRIPLE SHEET. and we cap ay of him as is said of wo of [Washington (June 14) re the Chicago The friende of Chief Justice Chase have commenced work here in res, vigorous manner to organize for Convention, During no less than three private been and the movement has undoubtedly @ stronger hold upon many democratic leaders than was first thought possib! Your co! lent igure “ry ye awe ane e to the es circle q number of demoer: ngress- men have pledged themselves to cnert thelrinteence to secure Mr, Chase's nomination, The Kentucky Senators, Messrs. Davis and McCreery, have both ex- pressed themselves openly within a few days in favor of the Democratic Convention nominating Mr. Chase. This fact has led to considerable eomment, and by many is accepted as @ sure indication that Mr. Chase will recetve strong democratic support, Whether Mr, Chase would supported by any republicans, if he should receiin the nonnnation, does not appear to enter into the dis- cussion at ‘all, It is generally believed, however, that he would receive the suppoit of those seven Tepublican Senators who voted to acquit President Jonngon on the impeachment, Mr. Fowler, of Ten- nessee, has stated to several persons that if Mr. Chase should be nominated at New York he would assist in electing him; and he asserts that he does not stand alone in such views, but that other Senators who have always acted ith the republican party are ready to move in the same direction. {From the Charleston (8. ©.) Mercury—State rights democrat.] We beg leave to suggest that the democratic party, at the approaching National Convention, can ani onght to do more than only affirm the principle that the federal government has no constitutional right to prescribe rules of suffrage ina State, Such an affirmation, in the face of existing circumstances, Will be worse than silence, It will simply be an en- dorsement of Mr. Chase, an adhesion to the radical reconstruction policy and an abandonment of the constitution and the South, From the Chicago Evening Post—Grant radical.} t is, in our opinion, a mistake to suppose that the black men of the South will devert a party that has given them freedom and the ballot to Tonow the per- ‘le man, who has been true to sonal fortunes of & them in the past, into the ranks of their ancient and still unrelenting enemy. Canvassed as the South will be during the present campaign, Mr. Chase as the democratic candidate will be shorn of his power to command the support of any considerable number of colored republicans. If, chagrined that Grant has been chosen as the republican candidate instead of himself, and bent upon teaching the to whom he owes his elevation that they cannot do without him, he shall undertake the ungracious legrad- ing as @ tug to the piratical democratic craft now seeking to make the treasury he need not be surprised to find that both democracy and ita pufming tug stuck very fast in the mud in November. — the se Louis Seen ene Sees e democratic are vi ing the utter impobetbitit of ar: Gpases nomipation. They show that his makes him j dis- trusted by every! j-—that the republicans found that they could not trust him, and that the demo- crats certainly have no cause for greater confidence, now that he has executed another ‘c! of base.” They point to the fact that Mr. Chase has and is still one of the most selfish and madly ambitious men in the country; that his passion to be President amounts almost to & monomenia; that he has stooped to measures to secure @ nomination which democratic papers have Cae condemned, * * * Remembering all these things, the democratic papers insist that Mr. Chase cannot be nominated, nor, if nominated, elected. But this logic does not meet the case. The simple fact is that the democratic party is dead uniess it can draw votes to itself from somewhere, There is not a sensible democrat in the land who does not know that Mr. Pendleton or any other man of Cepy record would be beaten be- yond all possibility of doubt. The record of party during the war will kill it just as long as it remains in tsaue. So of the suffrage question. There are ten States in which the democratic party will have not a ghost of a chance of success unless it can win some negro votes. Pendleton would win not one. The party is forced to purge itself, alike of rebelism and of mean and it hostility to im; | suf. frage before it can ever hope to succeed. It must get converted, experience a radical change and do works meet for repentance or its defeat is as certain agsun- rise. Now Chase is simply an outward and vigible sign of repentance—a formal abandonment of dead issues. True, if taken at all, he will be taken asa sick man takes a nasty dose—not because he likes 1t, but because he does not want to die. It will be a bic for the spoils—that is all. But it is death or castor ou. Defeat or Chase, é (From the Louisville Journal—democrat.} Mr. Chase could be a candidate only on own platform or oa the democratic platform; on the for- mer he could pot command the support of the con- wervatives, while on the latter he could not com- mand the support of bed section of the radicals. His defeat would be inevitable. And this we think that every politician of even ordinary Sagactty, must perceive, ‘fhe strength of the conservatives lies in the reaction, and ne who most completely and hap- pily represents the reaction is the man for the con- servative nomination. According to our best judg- ment Pendleton is the man. Chase assuredly ia not. A few weeks ago he most compietely and happily represented the revolution; now, if he no longer represents the revolution, we know not what he represents unless it is himself. He most gertainly does not represent the reaction. The idea of making him the standard bearer of the reaction seems to us to be the very cream of folly. It is war- ranted by neither principle nor ex leney. It is probably the mere caprice of political gamblers, fea) the Burlington (Vt.) Free Press—radical.) hether Mr. Chase has read himself out of the re- publican party or not can be more surely known a few months hence than now. For his own honor we hope that it will be found out that his adherence to it is as firm as ever, in spite of any defeated aspiration for the Presidentlai nomination from Which he is said to be suffering. In the meantime, if he has any splenetic feelings about the langu: used respecting him by the newspapers or by any clique of politicians, or really believes that he is more fitted to be President of the United States than rey | other man, he will do well to keep his feel- ings to himseif and to confine himself to the per- formance of his official duties, {Communication to Mobile Register—State rights democrat—dissented to by the editor.) If ever man deserves reward for the performance of important service—if the value of the reward for service rendered should be commensurate with the importance of that service—the compliment of offer- ing to Judge Chase the nomination of standard bearer of its principles by the New York Convention to assemble on the 4th of July is well deserved by that gentieman [or his great public services and his great virtues rendered so conspicuous within the past sixty days. While it would be a grateful assur- ance to Judge Chase of the respect he has won from his country inen by the honor, justice and integrity ex- hibited iu his public conduct, it would prove tor all time to come that the people of this country recognize tue cause of public justice and right and trath as supe ior to the claims of party. ‘This endorsement of his judicial course would induce hereafter commendabie emulation of his honesty and justice in al) pubiic ser- vants, as it would prove to the world that republics are not always ungrateful. {From the Evansville (Ind.) Journal—radical.)} To our mtuds the Chase movement on the part of prominent Bastern democrats has in it nothing more than the mnapifestation of a determination, if possi- bie, to defeat the nomination of Mr. Pendleton. The latter goes mto the Convention much stronger than any other single candidate, and unless his friends are fanked he will unquestioaably receive the nomi- nation. But in order to divert their attention a great hullabaloo 1s raised over Mr. Chase, while the op- ponents of Mr. Pendieton are quietly coucentratu on sowe other man, who, we shall not be surprise to see, is Senator Hendricks. The friends of the latter are piaying the game quietly but shrewdly, and may be found im the end to have the most tramps. When the contest between Pendleton, Chase and Hancock becomes sudicientiy bitter, and indications of a split similar that which rammed the party at Charleston begin t crop out, then Mr. Hendricks’ friends will bring for- ward his name compromise candidate on a com promise platform. * * * We conclude that there will be & concentration of the Chase, Hancock and Hendricks interesta in bebaif of the latter, and that he will be the nominee with, Hancock or Hoffman for the second piace. Mr. Pendleton may go into the Convention strong enough to control the nomination on the firat ballot, but we think not. We believe the war democrats and the bondholders, ably led, as they will be by Steedman and August Belmont, Will, by combining their forces, outnumber the Pendie- tonians in spite of their escort, Belmont will have the tickets of sdmisston to the Convention in his own hands, and it is not probable he will let a very formidable Pendleton pressure get inside the Con- vention. ‘The Newark Advertiser (radical) says “the Chase movement is a failure.” The copperheads said the ‘war was a failure, but that did not make it so, Senator Seulsbury (ultra democratic Senator) says he will make a Oght before he sees Sumner piaced on the democratic ticket with Chase. The noble Senator is a brave man, and we are glad to find he is determined to make a fight of some sort at last. The Pittsburg Commercial (radical) discusses Oap- tain Isaiah Rynders, the New York Empire Club, Chase and so on, and soberly conclades:—“Whether Mr. Ohase be accepted or not as the nominee for the Presidency, the ventilation of advance ideas where- with they (the democracy) have become innoculated cannot fail in the future to give the party a respecta- bility they have hitherto lacked.” The old whig ory—‘‘all the respectability, all the decency"—over again. A Pennsyivania radical sheet, after remarking that General Halpine has been selected to urge the claims of Chase before the Democratic Convention, surmises that “the boy Miles is engaged in a little game whereby somebody will be cheated.” How naturally these radicals emeli rognery when pro- feased politicians are in the case, The Syracuse Journal (radical) states that the ‘Tammany leaders are pronouncing for Seymour. Such thinga have been known as even Tammany leaders making blunders. The New Haven Palladium (radica}) refering to the fact that eertain democratic papers have come out im opposition to Chase, observes:—'*So much the better for Mr. Chase’s reputation and so much the worse for the democracy, who will find 1t impossible to procure elsewhere a leader of equal character and ability.” A New Jersey radical paper says the ‘fool ele- ment in the democratic party is supreme. The fos- sila contro} its action, and even the brains of the concern in Wall street are compelled to succumb. They will gointo the fight praying for defeat, and paying for defeat if necessary.”” A radical Connecticut paper states that it required 8 visit to all the hotels in New Haven and inquiries of all the guests to ascertain what the Christian name of Senator Hendricks is, It took a longer time than that for the anti-democrats to find out who Jame’ K. Polk was. But they did finally, to their cost. The Pittsburg Commercial (radical) announces that President Johnson and his followers have con- cluded to drop Hancock and go in for Chase for the Presidency against Pendicton. Captain Edward Merrill, of New Bedford, and Nicholas Hathaway, of Freetown, have been elected delegates from the First Massachusetts district to the National Democratic Convention, with 8. B, Phinney, of Barnstable, and Philander Cobb, of Kingston, as alternates. . The radicals seem to be smashing up in Oneida county. Says the Utica Odserver, June 15:—General Robbins (formerly of the First New Jersey cavalry), upon his arrival in town this morning was hailed by his friends as ‘Mr. Secretary of the Grant meeting,’ held in Whitestown last Saturday evening. The General evinced considerable surprise at the honor conferred on him during his absence, and remarked that he would not bave time to serve.” The Hartford Courant (radical) thinks that while “the Chase movement would seem to be making some headway among the minor powers of the demo- cratic party, it is evident that the great sachems have finally and imperatively decided that it will not do at all.” It is the “miner powers” in gold delving that produce most of the precious metals. The Cincinnati Chronicle (radical) thinks the dem- ocratio vote gravitates more towards Grant than Chase. The Chief Justice has, however, always been considered @ man of “eminent gravity.” They call the radical ratification gatherings in New Orleans “Rant Gratification” fizzles, “Colt and Grandfax”’ is the latest squabbling of the patronymics of the radical candidates. It originated et a negro ratification meeting in Louisiana The Richmond Whig sensibly says ‘We of the South have no hope outside of democratic success, and we should object to no tactics that may be neces- sary to secure it. Whoever may be the candidates, and whatever the platform of that party, of this we may rest assured, that its afm is to relieve us and re- Neve the country of that demoralizer, tyrant and lev- eller—radicalism.” The Mobile Register (ultra democrat) trusts that “the National Convention at New York will show no such signs of weakness” as to nominate Judge Chase. Ia it @ sign of weakness for the democrats to do right, especially when they are likely to win by it? A Washington (June 14) despatch to the Chicago Republican (radical) states that “it is certain from what is going on here that Mr. Chase is rapidly gain- ing ground, and Pendieton’s supporters seem to be aware of the fact, for quite a number of them from the West have arrived within forty-eight hours to work against Mr. Chase. It is noticeable that the members of the whiskey ring from New York are divided between Chase and Pendleton, with a-pre- ponderance in favor of the former.” ‘The Milwaukee Wisconsin (radical) says:—“The democracy in the Ohio valiey are roaring, burning and seething with vengeance against their weak- kneed brethren of the Atlantic States, who dare to suggest the name of Chase, the friend of the bond- holders, as a proper democratic candidate for the Presidency.” The demoeracy in the Ohio valley will be the better able to make 8 “roaring, burning and seething” campaign against the radicais when Chase is nominated. The Philadelphia Telegraph (radical) says:—‘‘Con- sistency is @ jewel which the Chase democracy do not covet.” The experience of the past proves that the radicals are perfect adepts in coveting jewels, as well as silver ware generally. The Springfield (Ill.) Register (Pendleton democrat) says:—The democratic masses have done wisely in taking from the politicians the selection of a stan- dard bearer and making that selection themselves.” We had no idea the Register would 80 soon declare for Chase. AMUSEMENTS. New York THEATRE.—The “Grand Duchess of Gerolstein’”’ was done in English for the first time in tis city at this theatre last evening, with the Wor- Tell Sisters sustaining the principle rdles. The Eng- lish version of the sparkling opera boufe is the work of Mr. B. A. Baker, the present stage manager at this establishment, and reflects Much credit upon its adapter for the admirable manner in which he has preserved in the translation all the fine points and vivaciousness of the original. The piece has been excellently mounted and appointed, but has lost much of its force and piquancy in the English version. The house was well filled with a very enthusiastic audience, who be- stowed their applause ungrudgingly and indiscrimi- nately upon everything and every body in the piece that apegented them with an opportunity of doing so, and if such marks of approval are any criterion to judge by, then “The Grand Duchess” in English Most undoubtedly proved a success. Upon the whole, however, we doubt if the piece can be kept pon the boards for any considerable length of time in its present form. ‘The cast is not so good as it might have been, the acting last evening Was often at fault and overdone, and the singing th fhout was, a8 @ general thing, bad. Misa So- Re ‘orrell as the Grand Duchess and Miss Irene ‘orrell as Wanda, the betrethed of Fritz, have sei- dom mppenes to poorer advantage, and Miss Jennie Worrell as Prince Paul was just little better than either of her charmin, ey by Mr. Wel sisters. General Boum, ich Edwards, was passable. ritz was done by Mr. J. 0, Dunn, ut how we will leave our readers to imagine. In short, we predict for the English “Grand Duchess” a short but proba- bly brilliant run.

An Interesting Feature in Railway Specula- tion=The Sioux City and Pacific Railroad Company in Litigation—Large Sums In- volved—Injunction. bd Before Judge Cardozo. Charles A. Lambard vs, The Sioux City and Pacific Railroad Company et al.—This case came before this Court yesterday on a motion to continue a prelimi- nary injunction, The plaintid, with eight other persons, including John J. Blair, Platt Smith, L. B. Crocker, D.C. Blair and Morris K. Jessup, formed an associa- tion and undertook to organize a company for the construction of a branch railway, in connection with the Iowa division of the Ufiion Pacific Railway, it being agreed that they should bear equal risks and share equally in the common interesta and profits of the enterprise, with the further stipulation that if any of the associates pi with or dis- posed of his interest it should be taken by the re- maining associates for their general benefit and advantage. A corporation was created by the laws of Iowa, under the name of the Sioux City and Pacific Railroad Company, of which the persons above mentioned were directors, and went into ope- ration. Bul juently the plaintiff, Lambard, having occa- sion to visit Europe, in cot ence of ill health in his family, requested John J. Blair, one of these de- fendants, and who was the President of the Com- , to assume cl re of plaintitt’s interests in the oa and und¢ ing. This trust was accepted yon his return from Europe the plaintiff ascertained that three of the original associates had disposed of their whole interests in the enterprise to the remaining associates, or some them, the capital stock of the company had been doubled or increased from $2,000,000 to about $4,000,000. The defendants, the remaining associates, refused to allow plaintitf as his entire incerest in the corporation more than his one-ninth of the original stock, giving him interest in or claim upon any portion of the additional stock, or of the three shares, or one-third of the original stock pur- chased from the retired es, Plaintif® brings this suit to compel, through the ald of the courts, an equitable division of the stock, property and interests of the corporation, and for an accounting, and asks that the courts determine his right to one-ninth of the whole capital stock and to one-ninth of the interests purchased from Se cake going associates; and alleges further that poration has now advanced so far with the construction of the road as to be entitled to and that they have received $1,200,000 of United States bonds ag a subsidy from the United States government under the provisions of the act of Con- gress of 1362; that the company has also determined va the issue of first mortgage bonds to the amount of $1,600,000, which bonds are now finished but un- signed, and are in the hands of the engravers in this elty; that of the $1,200,000 of United States bonds, all, with the exception of $317,000 worth, have been disposed of and sold to various parties and the pro- ceeds deposited in various banks in this city and Within the jurisdiction of this court; that the direc- tors of the company are about to distribute this Toney a8 a dividend on the capital stock and are going to allow eerit, but one eighteenth, instead of one-sixth, which is his due proportion, Upon application to the court last fall an injanc- tion was granted based upon these facts, as then set forth enjoining the National City Bank and the National Park Bank from parting with or in any way disposing of any moneys held by them on account of or in behalf of the Sioux City and Pacific Railroad Company, and restraining the engravers from part- ing with the bonds. The motion yesterday was to make perpetual this injunction, or until the further order of the court. A large number of aitidavits were read by the defendants et gate | denials to certain portions of the complaint, and the depost- tions of numerous stockbrokers were also used, set- tng forth>that the defendants were bona fide hold- ers of the stock, &c. ‘The case was then adjourned until Friday next.

Plaintiff demands judgment in compensation and damages therefor in the sum of $1,000. The defence admits the reception of the plaintiff as a boarder at their hotel, but deny any knowledge of the receipt of the b: , OF whether, if it was received, the trunks or either of them contained the articles mentioned, but denies that plaintitt's was ever placed in chargeof defendants or their servants, or that the gn if lost, was lost thi fh the negligence of their servants or agents.

The Richings-Waldron Operatic Suit on Re- trial~Important Opinion on the Source of Critical Inspiration, Before Judge Curtis. Laura Waldron vs. Caroline Richings.—Plaintitt sues to recover the sum of $100 as compensation for services as asinger in English opera in Miss Rich- ings’ opera troupe. The alleged liability arose in December, 1867, the plaintiff having made her debut 8 Arline in the “Bohemian Girl,” at Philadelphia, uuder Miss Richings’ management, a short time prior thereto. The case involves the question wheth- er, subsequent to the devut, Miss Richings entered into an engagement with plaintif for performances in Boston. The evidence as to any contract having been en- tered into is decidedly presumptive or constructive, there being no proof of an explicit agreement. The testimony does not vary in any essential particular from that adduced at the triala few weeks since, which was fully reported in the H#RALD. On that occasion the jury disagreed and a retrial was com- menced yesterday. It will be remembered that it ts claimed by the defence that in her “trial” at Boston Miss Waldron was unsuccessful, and considerable evidence was taken on both sides with a view of disproving or proving the theory of the defence that the Boston critics had been “seen” with regard to their criti- ciams upon me Waldron’s talent, amd that the house was pect ed by clacqueur's. Peter Richings, the venerable operatic manager, was placed upon the stand as a witness for the de- fence, and in the course of his examination was asked a question as to whether it was not sometimes the case that the favor of ‘‘the critics’? was influ- enced by considerations other than the talent of the artist. Plaintiff's counsel objected, and Mr. Richings made an inaudible remark ‘‘aside’’ to the Judge. Judge Curtis then remarked that Mr. Richings said oe an bce fo. = Poeap ical of counsel ee 4 papogn 9 es ie (Mr. Kichings) would not like The court, by way of elucidation of this ambigu- ous (?) remark of the witness, said, “1 suppose that refers to the ‘Bohemians’ (a pause and subdued laughter), and their chief inspiration comes from lager beer.” (Repetition of “the laugh.’’) One of the from @ Boston paper regretted the absence, on the occasion of Miss Waldron’s per- formance, of Miss Richings; but after eulogizing Miss Waldron as Arline, stated that “with great ex- perience on the stage and further culture she could not fail’ to succeed, &c. ‘The case was pot concluded at the adjournment of the court.

Grand Celebration of the Ninety-third Annie versary in Charlestown, Mass.Civic, Mille tary id Firemen’s Parade—Comical Dis- play of “Antiques and Horribles”—General Gala Day. {From the Evening Telegram of yesterday.] Boston, June 17, 1868, The Seventeenth of June—always one of the chief holidays over in the neighboring city of Charles- town—was never more noisy and interesting than it has been to-day. The occasion of so much barning of powder, such booming of eannon, such indis- criminate and incessant ringing of church and other bells, has been, as every American knows, ' the ninety-third anniversary of the battle of Bunker Hill. The day is of course a national one—one which it belongs to the nation to observe—but the wars of later date than the one which made Bunker Hill memorable have in some degree erased the im- portance of this anniversary from the public memory, and its observance to any extent is, therefore, chiefly confined to the city of Charlestown, within whose borders is erected that tall gray shaft commemorative of the eventful and glorious struggle there ninety-three years ago this morning. Poswipnaiendings: lowever, there is an apparent indifference throughout the country to ve the day more than a Mrited observance, the volutionary spirit is still alive here, or over in Charlestown, rather, and the aushorities and citizens alike vie with each other in making the day one not second in importance even to the old Fourth of July itself, The city Lge etre annually makes a liberal appro riation, the wealthy citizens ‘come down’? abundantly with funds and all sorte of organizations and societies stir around for weeks in advance in propane for the grand holiday of the year. Thas has it been for ninety-three years, for never has the anniversary been allowed to pass without a general jollification. It has been reserved, however, for the generation living in 1868 to witn the most exten- sive and agreeable celebration yet recorded in the category of Bunker Hill festivities. THE OBSERVANCES. There have been no lumbering or spread eagle ora- tions, but everything furnisl has been lively and demapratic in character and in pleasant and remark- able contrast to the usual style of pretended festive gatherings in radical Massachusetts. An imposing military, flremen's and ¢ivic procession, stretching almost from one end of the city to the other, a merry ringing of bells, the echo of artillery, numerous strains of instruments musical all around, a hearty welcome by the people to the thousands of strangers, and a general and generous decoration of ali the pub- lic and private buildings, are a few of the incidental features which have combined to pleasantly honor the anniversary of the battle of Bunker Mill, THE DECORATIONS. The appearance of the city, bedecked so plentifally » with flags, streamers and other ensigns, has been @ subject of unstinted praise from the vast concourse who have vistted it to-day, The City square was pronabs the most conspicuous, and one would have peen pardoned if, after crossing the Warren brid he had imagined himself in the Celestia! City rat than within the enclosure of a “barbarian’’ munici- ty. The Waverley House—that new hotel, un- Ned in size and elegance hereabouts—was almost completely plastered over with banners, bunting and mottoes; and the City Hall, the fence around the fountain, the stores and wareliouses, and, in fact. every building of prominence and many of modest structure, all the way from Front strect to the shores of the Mystic and from the square to the Neck, were brilliant with streamers and decorations, The day did not dawn with flattering promises of auspicious weather, and before the festivities had fairly commenced the clouds gave out a drizzling and disagreeable mist. ‘This did not have the effect, however, of checking or diminishing in the slightest degree any feature of the celebration. ‘The first and one of the most novel portions of the day's pro- gramme was the parade of a corps of some two hundred of “Antiques and Horribies,"’ as they were leased to term themseives, The’ procession was formed in the square at five o'clock in the cnorning, and, notwithstanding the unusually early hour se- lected, there Was a crowd of at least sume twelve thousand spectators assembled to witness the coml- cal spectacie. THE “HORRIBLES.’? itis doubtful if a more clever burlesque procession was ever formed. The impeachment farce was fitly taken off and thege were numerous and appropriate hits at Butler, wMich the spectators applauded very head chopped off and lying near the Ce of the carcass, this evidently being intend asa heartily. The most cruel one upon him was that with toe representation of the ma ner in which his consutu ents Will treat him when he becomes a candidate for reelection. The Freedinen’s Bureau, the Chinese Embassy and the State prohibitory liquor law, all came in for their share of ridicu, The procession occupied a couple of hours in passing two given poluts, and everywhere it was cheered most Beartlly by the admirtn: people. It was preced by a band an ‘was composed in the main of iafantry, artillery and cavairy, the rear being brought up by mules, don- keys and other invited ests. After proceeding through the phony streets the Antiques were pro- vided with iiquid and other refreshments in their various armories and other places of resort. THE MILITARY PARADB, After the grand regatta, which gave faction, came the grand civic and military proces- sion, which was formed in the square at about eleven o'clock. At this time the city was filled with visitors from Boston and all the country surround- ing, business having been generally suspended to en- able all of the people to indulge in the festivities of the holiday. Bands of music iunumerable were in the ranks, and besides the full Fire Department of Charlestown and the various military Ng oe of that clty there appeared also in the line about fifty members of the Henry Gray Engine Company of Springfield, the Stillman Hose Company of Hartford, eral satie- u ‘ankee ine Company and associates of Wor- costes, and alee firemen rote Providence and Paw- t ., and Portiand, Me. aoe er olsston was about two miles long, and all al line of the march tn the ‘streets of the there was a continued brilliant ovation The ci generally kept one houses, after fashion of New Year's Day in New York.
