4 THE PRESIDENCY. Tammany Hall as It Appeared Yesterday. THE RUSH AND CRUSH FOR TICKETS. Chase, Pendleton, Seymour and Hancock. WHAT THE DELEGATES SAY. Seoret Oaucuses and Open Meetings. PARADES AND RECEPTIONS. — TAMMANY HALL AND INCIDENTS THEREABOUTS. Tammany Hell was all agog’ and aglow through- out the warm bours of yesterday, when the ther- mMomoeter was up among the nineties and nobody cared to feel a joy in his existence, and everybody strove to keep cool and serene and failed lamen- tably in the attempt. But, oh! wasn’t it hot? and didn’t “the flerce democraeie’ who came to feast their eyes upon the effulgent beauties of the sacred and supreme temple of Tammany sweat and swelter in the July beams, On the ample pavements of Four- teenth treet, these solar rays struck re- morseleasly, rebounding and heating what the poets call the “ambient air,” and coloring the faces of the assembled democratic hu- manity @ delightful brick red, playing sad havoc with shirt collars where shirt collara were fashiona- ble, and stirring up the native instincts of our bibu- ous brethren and raising the deuce generally. From Third to Fourth avenue, along the south side of Fourteenth street, was the place where the casual crowds sauntered and seated themselves on door- steps or railings, or leaned against the cool projec- tion of a brown stone stoop, or otherwise disposed of themselves in the shadow which four stories fung half way acrosa the street, and ifvited the playful breeze and the jaded, perspiring pedestrian. All along that brown stone block groups were gathered talking about one thing and another, awk- wardly fanning themselves with straw hats, old, battered wideawakes, blood red pocket handker- chiefs or the manifold section of a used up news- paper. That great bigarc de triomphe in front of Tammany, with ite huge integument of evergreens, riveted many aneye. Though not artistic it looked cool, and who care for art with the thermometer going higher than a kite and his shirt collar wilting like the tender petal of an uprooted flower? In. that crowd, it is superfluous to remark, were many democratic faces—not that the democratic physiognomy has such marked lines that ite appearance proclaims ft, but there is that about it so full of rude and manly life, that heartiness of laugh and brightness of eye, tell¥ its presence at once, The great, gaudy bunting, imiratly festooned, that covered the windows of Tammany Hail, was caiculated more than ‘thing else to arrest the atteotion of passers by. te was the old flag, the dear old flag, that a quarter of million proud and paipit 1g hearts gave up their lives to save, and here it was hung in sweet, that rendered it doubly beautiful. ce a shield with the stars in centre and the stripes gently fluttering on either side it looked an ingenious and charm- ing device, and was duly appreciated by the passing and pausing multitude. e number of spectators wenind rary gee 7 ah all - uae and st 4 The nomoe the street looked. wore than wat Yani. mated.

D, Turner, of Arkansas. CALIFORNIA DELEGATION. ‘This delegation remains firm for Judge Stephen J. Field, of Calif for whom it will cast its vote on the first ballot; but it is understood that Chase has found many friends since its arrival East, and that this fact is Partly, owing to their having come in contact with Eastern delegates who argued well and to the point. CONNECTICUT DELEGATION. It could not be exponen that go ’cute a le as they of the Nutmeg State would send to this liom and Gomorrah a delegation of representative men who would so far forget native caution as to tell just what they think and believe. But the Connecti- cut delegation, nevertheless, cannot conceal altogether their anxiety or hide their fears. They came determined to nominate a strong man of the party for President, with English for Vice; ubt they are alarmed at the’ huge proportions the Chase movement has assumed, and, like many more simple men, are considerably perplexed. Their votes will be given for Pendleton. DELAWARE DELEGATION. This small but energetic delegation were as busy as bees yesterday in ‘‘serenading’? members of the other delegations into thinking as they do onthe subject of the Presidential candiaate. Hancock is spoken of by some as being the probable choice of the Convention, but then C! and Pendicton have also their advocates in the delegation, with the odds slightly in favor of the Chief Justice, FLORIDA DELEGATION. The ig to the Convention from Florida had not all ved last night, and consequently the or- ganization was pot completed. In common with the representatives of the other Southern States, the Florida delegation will keep free from entangling alliances, and maintain a British neutrality during the contest for the nomination, GEORGIA DELEGATION. The delegates from Geo! have organized and are prepared to raise the voice of their State for the co! man of the democracy. They will refrain som embittering the contest for the nomination by putting the w it of their influence in the acale for or it any f the mi candidates mentioned, but will watch the proceed! to cast their votes at the proper.moment for the nominee of the party. ILLINOIS DELEGATION. “On the fence” is the present attitude of the dele- gation from Illinois. The majority of the members would infinitely prefer Pendleton to any of the other candidates named, and will probably urge his claims as far ae Pa. compan with a of the party. appear, however, chances of the Ohio candidate are not as it as expected the a ill not bolt, like 0! and help to create what eVervy delegate seems to dread—a for- midable split in the Convention—but will gant consider the claims of the next best man in Ust of party can 10WA DELEGATION. The Tlowans are unchanged in their Pendieton admiration, and say they will go for him on every ballot as a unit. INDIANA DELEGATION. Next to Ohio in enthusiasm for Pendleton is In- diana. The delegates, who have already arrived, are actively engaged in he’canvass, and their efforts in patting the claims of the greenback can- idate in the most favorable light and in throwing cold water on the movements in favor of other candidates cannot but have considerable effect. They do not, however, preach the rule or ruin doctrine, and would probably be glad to accept Hendricks, Blair or Hancock in the event of their favorite being withdrawn from the contest, KANSAS DELEGATION enthusiastic in favor of the greenback candidate. ere are six gentiemen in the delegation, five of whom will vote for Pendleton or jump from the traces. The idea of their finally voting for Chase (the father of greenbacks) they a8 not only absurd, but insult. to their understanding. The beg J declare tl they would not touch the Chief Justice with a twenty feet pole. These dele- gates have made up their minds finally to the course they shall adopt. They hate Chase, admire Blair, but love Pendleton. Should an opportunity offer itself to the friends of General Frank Blair they will cast their votes willingly for that candidate. ERNTUCKY DELEGATION, This dplegation was instructed to vote aaa unit for Pendleton, but there are evidences which prove that although the instruction will be obeyed on the first baliot a majority will be quite willing to vote fer » provided he be supported by Tn tus case they will vote aiso unit and do all they can to maintain harmony concord in the Convention. Pendleton, how- ever, at the start will have no warmer friends than the Kentuckians. LOUISIANA DELRGATION, B. F, Jonas was made chairman ot thia deleration yesterday and John F, secretary. This del- egation is bitterly opposed to Chase, and say they opposition willbe of any weight againse him. Stil, tion any im. , tho te for Chase be too strong for them to con- tend against SS gracefully glide along with the current, and if the extremists do growl it will only raise a bubble or two on the surface, which will be searcely visible. “We are not for Chase,” said one Convention."” ‘my Maryland,” organized yesterd « a Ol by electing Judge Gartaichasi ene OeManiy secretary, Stevenson Archer committee on platform, G.

ATION. among the the strength of three of the delegates should be the man of the delegation’s choice; but from present appearances it would seem as tho by the time the vote in the Convention is taken they ‘will fall into line and on with their brethren for “Old Greenbacks.” THR MISSOURI DELEGATION AND FRANK BLAIR, Although badgered a deal by oificious friends of Pendieton, the Missouri delegation are a unit in favor of General Frank Blair for Presiden’ claim that their candidate cess as an officer tn the feld and his record as a po! ticiap is in every way favorable. An officer of the late vohunteer army, Who possesses considerable 1 fluence with that large body of our Irish-American cilizens who see neither democracy nor republicanism in their bitter hatred of England, waited upon the delegation yesterday in reference to the proba- bility of nominating General Blair. The in- terview appeared to be very satisfactory; the delegate havi! given satisfactory reasons for the faith that was in him, and the officer apparentiy convincing the Missouri tative that the General would sweep the States as the con- servative and Irish-American candidate. The advances of the Irish party who promise the solid vote of the irrepressible Fenian Brotherhood, pe ange to be received with considerable enthu- asm, and Blair stock went up. It is understood that General Blair, if elected, would make short work of the naturalization question and present @ peremptory demand for a settiement of the Alabama claims, e delegates will vote for Pendieton if Biair cannot be nominated, and in case of either failing to get the requisite two-thirds will commit themselves to the democratic nominee. The delegation met in cancus yesterday and inted Mr. James Broadhead to represent their: the Convention. MICHIGAN DELRGATION. Robert McClelland was elected chairman of this delegation a afternoon, and last evening, after the arrival several of the ‘‘missing” dele. gates, it was fully organized, and tte various com- mittees were appointed. The ‘‘Wolverines” are v. taciturn on the subject of the candidate for |. dent, but judging from certain ex) let fait ) aK two of the delegates pocibed to Ua.

NEW HAMPSHIRE DELEGATION. Chase, Hancock, Blair or any other man will be accepted by this delegation and will receive its sup- port, Provided that the favorite candidate is ushered ito political notoriety by the big chiefs of the demo- cratic party. If it could be so ranges that all the otker delegations would elect the New Hampshire men as their exponents of policy in the Convention the very same bickering and squab! for which the entire democratic delegation is distinguished would show itself among the representatives from the Grautite State. Some are hot for Pendleton; others look to Hancock as the saviour; the majority zoe: Chase as the most desirable candidate, and one or two would desire to be neutral until a decided preference for one or other of the aspirants manifested itself at the moment for the fi ballot. Ohio is working hard in the meantime with this and other delegations to obtain promises of support for the nominee or their State, but with very little success. The New Ham} shire men will watch the proceedings very closel to-day, and will throw the weight of their influence in favor of the candidate whose chances of success is brightest and who is in the best odor with the party leaders. NEW JERSEY DELEGATION. The Jersey delegation ed yesterday and ap- pointed officers to act during the Convention. Ithas not transpired that the delegates have decided to work for any particular candidate, but a strong pres. sure will be exercised by the Jersey sailors and sol- diers’ delegation to commit them to Hancock. Chase’s prospects are freely discussed; but as it is matter of doubt whether the Convention will receive his name, the claims of Hendricks, Hancock an Blair for the honor receive full consideration. The delegation will go to the Convention uncommitted, This délogn ee ee Ce, lelegation held @ secret mee! esterday afternoon, at which, it is ramored, quiteg jiscussion ensued on @ motion made that the delegation should deciare itself as @ unit in favor of Chase. Indeed, it was currently reported in the hotels and at the rooms of the other del: ns that the delegation had ac- tually pronounced for Chase, although determined to cast their vote on the first ballot for Governor Sey- mour. The other delegations seem to be Keeping a keen watch on the movements of the New York men, central their guides in their own plans. As the New Yorkers have consented not to press on the Convention a man from their own St I © be delegates in think that they will go inte Convention all the stronger from this fact, and will enabled to ask with more chances of success that each State should set aside ita particular favorite, and all unite on one man whom ali can support with equal zeal, “it wonld be useless for me tosay,’’ said one of the yeaterday afternoon, we will not have our preference for a New York but then if we sacrifice him for the eral ood why should’nt other States be just as willing to act in the game manner. NORTH CAROLINA DELEGATION. William A, Wright was made chairman of this delegation yesterday, and K. B. Hayward secretary. ‘The mi ity of the delegation seem to be in favor of Chase, but the delegates are very reticent and will not enter into conversation with outsiders as to their position. It ia understood, however, that they will 0 for the candidate who has the largest vote of the jorthern in the Convention.

Ficld will be honored by its vote on the first ballot, but tt is probable that Hancock will come in for his share of the honors afterwards. NEBRASKA DELEGATION. Several of the members of this delegation had not turned up last night, but tt is probable the delegation will be fully organized to-day. They are “mum” as to their choice, but there is gn odor of Pendletonism about their quarters that ta unmistakable. ORRGON DELEGATION, on is still a unit for Pendieton, but does not intend to be headstrong If it should tind that Pendle- ton stock is below par when the Convention mecta, OHIO DELEGATION. The Ohio delegation presents @ threatening front to ali the scouts and friends of Chase, and tains State are determined that the in- ventor of backs shall be the standard bearer of the party in the coming contest. The influence of Senator Spi @ will, nO doubt, be fully exerted to keep the backbone of the delegates stiitened duri the anxious days in which the fate of Presidentii aspirante will be tried in the Convention ballot box. SOUTH CAROLINA DELEGATION, The members of the delegation from South Caro- lina, if they followed their manifest melinations, would plunge into the fight for the Presidential no- mination with all the enthusiasm characteristic of thei pple; but the lessons of last few eventful have not been lost, and a milder course has resolved by Means will be taken to “bottle”? the fire-eaters of the party until all danger of @ split shall have passed away. TEXAS DELEGATION. The States of the Union now suffering under radical and negro rule have sent their delegat to the Na- tional Democratic Coavention with specific instruc- tions to avoid the raising of troublesome questions and to maintain 4 strict neutrality between the several candidates put forward for the Presidential nomination. The Texan delegates observe these in- structions in their intercourse with representatives from the white-ruled States, and will merely watch the course of events with the intense interest of expect to be released from heavy misfortune. They wili vote with the majority of the party, This delegation wee fully organized last evening elegation was organ' it and had been rendered all the more harmonious in their councils by the arrival of Judge Nelson, b 4 delegation will cast their vote on the first ballot Andrew Johnson, but will not insist upon his en- dorsement by the Convention.

Whatever course manne adopted by the delegates from New Hampshire In the Convention to-day will probably be followed by the Vermonters, That the same apathy which characterized the movements of the members of the delegation yesterday will be main- tained by them after the organization of the demo- cratic body in the New Tammany Halls very unlike- ly. Most of the gentlemen who compose the delega- tion have imbibed very strong notions of the fitness of some candidates and the unfitness of ofhers for the nomination, and will no doubt take an early op- portunity of ventilating them, if not for the benefit of the assembled wise men of the party, at least for the edification of observant folks “‘to hum.” The delegation will goto the Convention uncommitted to any candidate, ‘WEST VIRGINIA DELEGATION. The members of this Cory pected are flery advocates of Pendleton and plent greenbacks. They dis- trust Chase, doubt Hendricks and eeare with icy coldness the advances of Blair. iy opepn however, will show itself in the delegation shoul their favorite fail to obtain the requ! two-thirds vote, and there is nodanger of a “bolt’’ on the part of the West Virginians.

Later in the evening a pi ion of del clubs, with music and banners and $rans- pareneies, with mottoes, in front of the hovel and called out the cheers of the delegates. It was late when the crowd of delegates lessened and the enthusiasm subsided. The evening was a busy and exciting one—one whose parallel, politically, in the issues involved is of rare record. The following document, which explains itself, un- Ger an envelope, lastevening reached nearly alt the delegates:— ie THR DELEGATES TO THE NATIONAL DEMOCRATIC 1ONVENTION:— am IMEN—The question of reconstruction must met.

It is not likely that the escort of seven hundred and fifty thousand from Kentucky will be forgotten in the Convention. It eclipaes the Pendieton escortot a couple of thousand all hollow. A grand escape—Old man Blair from the poll- ticlans. Ha! m4 Trumps—Hartz | Singing clear—Sinclair, of New Hampshire. Says Stevens, of New Hampshire—a roaring voicer, with some sense—Do you remember?” “What?” “Douglas and his fate.’’ The Pendletonians are not repudiators.

Splitting theSiamese Twins:—Dividing the radicals from the moderate republicans. A sharp knife, well Chased, is necessary. That was a grand declaration of Fellows of Ark- ansas the other night, which brought up the house amid waving of hankerchiefs and hats, when he said:—“In case of a foreign war, two hundred thou- sand men in the South, who had been famed for their valor and courage, would join the legwns of the North.” These are the sentiments that endear the North to the South. Keep it up. Perhaps there are not a few political dead beats here looking after the Democratic Gonveution. Ot, no! The Westmoreland is fast becoming a favorite resort of the politicians who have axes to grind ta the present convocation of the democratic note- bles. ‘The capital of the nation must be immensely re lieved in consequence of its depletion of lobby ras- cals at the present time. Both editors of the Columbus (Ohio) Orists are now in New York, but we hear of no political earthquake in the Buckeye State as yet. The Columbus (Ohio) Crisis says Mr. Chase cer- tainly bids for the New York nomination. Only sixty-six votes, yet it only required fifty-six signers of the Declaration of Independence to make us free from foreign thraidom. ‘The Brooklyn Daily Times is waking up, Why should a Bennett be apathetic?

Why are there to-day hundreds of thousands of white men and women in the North living in dread of starvation within the present year? Why are thirty millions of white men taxed for the special benefit of a class who pay no taxes on the great bulk of their property? ‘Why should there be over two thousand millieas’ of dollars exempt from taxation? If negroes are ft for freedom, why has @ great poorhouse system for their support to be kept ap a6 the expense of Northern industry? If the war was prosecuted for the preservation of the Union, why have been ten states kept out of it? Thad Stevens calls Horace Greeley @ scare-crow. He was long since called a galvanized squash. General Jonn L. Swift, naval officer at Boston, declares that if Pendleton be nominated the Deme- cratic Convention wili be simply a Grant ratification meeting. There was a fine meeting of Pendietonians the other evening. One of the unwashed cried out as the distinguished advocates of the popular Ohian advanced on the stage—“Wash me clean! Wash me clean) “Shut up! cried a suppresser of tur- bulence; “you don’t appear to be very dirty. Don’t disturb the meeting.” “Wash me clean! Wash me clean !"' vehemently and persistently exclaimed the ardent Pendietonian. “Pat him out!” “Put him out!’ A disturbance was brewing. At this junc- ture a mild and benevolent looking gentleman, with @ high forehead, normal mustache and auburn locks, came forward and appealed for a moments silence, which was accorded. He said—‘‘No doubt, the audience Jabors under a mistake. My jubilant friend has recognized in me an old friend. His cries mean no derision to the assemblage nor insult to those grave old codgers on the piatform, I am familiarly known at home in Cincinnati as Wash.
