Sir Jonn Young, Bart., present Governor General of New South Wales and ex-lonian Commissioner, has been named for Governor General of Canada. SIR JOHN YOUNG 4s the eldest son and heir of the late Sir William oung, of Baileborough Castle, in the county of Ca- 4 Ireland. His father was a prominent member the East India Company in days past. Retiring ‘with a fortune, Sir William offered himself as candi- for the representation of Cavan in Parliament, was defeated, his political opinions not agreeing tly with those of the Earl of Farnham, who pos- , through his numerous tenantry, the chief. terest at the elections in that district. After a 5 years Mr. John Young, the newly appointed #ulet of Canada, then a young man, presented him- ‘mrt 48 a candidate to the voters of Cavan and was eturned to represent them in the House of Com- ‘ in conjunction with Mr. Henry Maxwell, who led to the Farnham peerage, and has just ‘Wat his life by the melancholy disaster by fire in the Irish mail train travelling through Wales for Lon- don, Mr. Young—now Sir John Young, after the decease of his father—soon obtained the notice of Parliament both by his diligent attention to his uties and his sound practicai knowledge on all stters relating to Ireland. The late Sir Robert Peel at once noticed his availability for public life, with Mr. Young’s consent, ed him with his party of moderate conservatives, anxious to do jus- tice to Ireland without a repeal of the legislative union, Under Peel’s Premiership Sir John Young held the office of Joint Secretary of the Treasury of land, in which he distinguished himself by his ication to business, his judicious use of the official patronage confided to him, and his freedom from religious and pellcal prejudices. Sir John comes of an old Scotch family, having its with John Young, a ‘burgess of Edinburg’? in the year 1541. The Governor of Canada was born on the Sist of August, 1807, and married April 8, ees, Adelaide Annabella, daughter of the late Mar- joness of Headfort, by her first husband, Edward alte Dalton. His family is thus intimately connected ith the Countess of Cavan, Meath and Westmeat in Ireland. During the years immediately past Si Zohn Young has ruled the colony of New South ‘Wales in a very successful manner in the name of Queen Victoria, and is likely from his habits, dis- fat rom caution and experience, but part from accurate appreciation of the Irish a to prove equally useful to the Englisa Wn in Canada.

Y, SEPTEMBER 19, 1868. WASHINGTON. Wasuinaton, Sept. 18, 1468. Probabilities of a Quorum. The prospect now is that there will be a quorum of both houses in attendance on Monday, There ave been several additional arrivals of members to-day. About forty members are now in the city, and others Continue to drop in slowiy. Ben Wade and Speaker Colfax arrived this afternoon. Mr. Wade and Mr. Colfax both doubt whether there will be a quorum Present at noon on Monday; but Mr. Colfax said in conversation that either house can take a recess from time to time until a quorum arrives, thus extending the legislative day of Monday inaefinitely, It is stated as the result of a conference, at which Messrs, Wade, Coifax, Schenck and others were present, that another recess shall be taken till the 15th of October. There seems to be little doubt of securing a quorum before the elose of the legislative day of the 2ist. Mr. Wade will be the guest of Mr. Colfax during the session. Appointment of Colonel Grigsby as Deputy Collector of the Port of New York—The Coasting Trade and Smuggling. One of the objects which Collector Smythe, of New York, had in view at his,last visit to this city has just transpired, On the recommendation of the Col- lector Secretary McCulloch has appointed Colonel L. B, Grigsby Deputy Collector of the port of New York, and his commission was transmitted to him to-day. Colonel Grigsby will have special charge of the transit of all merchandise, &c., in the coastwise trade between the Atlantic and Pacific coasts. The new regulations lately issued from the Treasury Department for the government of the coasting trade and for the more effectual suppression of smuggling will be carried into effect immediately. The Case of John H. Surratt. The government seems to have a great deal of trouble to get rid of that notorious prisoner, John H, Surratt. It is now stated that in a day or two Sur- ratt will be discharged altogether, though it may turn out that the distinguished gentleman will not suffer himself to be discharged without the luxury of another trial, and the government may yet have to pay him a good round sum to go, The difficulty is that the District Attorney wishes to abandon the first indictment charging murder and to try Surratt on the second indictment charging conspiracy. The counsel for Surratt insist on the murder charge being tried, and they ridicule the idea of trying him on the charge of conspiracy. The Use of United States Troops in the South. In the case of the application of the Governor of Florida for United States troops to ald the civil ofiicers in enforcing the laws it is understood that the President has disposed of it by simply referring it to Major General Meade, commanding the Military Department of the South, as a matter coming en- tirely within the recent instructions given to Gen- eral Buchanan and General Meade 1n relation to the employment of government troops to assist the civil authorities. According to these instructions General Meade is required to use his own discretion in re- gard to the necessity of the call. The Mail Service Bill—An Opinion Called For, Postmaster General Randall to-day referred to Attorney General Evarts for his opinion the ques- tion whether the act of Congress passed just at the close of the last session, authorizing him to approve the bonds of the New York Steamship Navigation Company to the amount of $3,000,000 to enable the company to build seven steamships for mail service, ia mandatory, or whether he would be justified in being guided by his own judgment in the matter, Prices of Meters for Distillers’ Use. L. J. Noles, of Warren, Mass., and William T. Du- vall, of Georgetown, D. C., selected by the govern- ment, and William P. Trowbridge, of New York, se- lected by Mr. Tice, have arranged a schedule of prices of the Tice meter of different sizes, which, in “accordance with the recent act of Congress, has been prescribed for use in distilleries. The smaller meters, which cost $200 and $250, are intended more especially for small copper stills, and the capacity above given must be understood to be the maximum capacity per minute of each metre. Commissioner Rollins has issued a circular requiring distillers to procure and attach these meters, the failure of which will make it the duty of the Collector to close the distillery and institute pro- ceedings for its condemnation and enforcement of penalties required by law. Distillers of apples, peaches and grapes exclusively will not be required to attach these meters to their distilleries, Paymasters Ordered to Settle Accounts. Paymasters Beaman, Darling and Anderson have been detached from the Naval Academy and ordered to settle accounts. Paymaster Goldsborough re- lieves the former and Hoy the two tatter.

Denocratic Union General Comuiittee. Ameecting of tie Democratic Unioa General Com- mittee was held last evening at the new head- quarters, Masonic jiall, Thirteenth street, convened at the call of the secretaries, Messrs. Patrick Kerrin and George Bonesein, There was a very large at- tendance present, The withdrawal of Justice Michael Connolly irom the organization as its tempo- rary chairman necessitates the appointment of a new chairman, aud it was with this object the meeting was held last evening. Mr. Janes Gibbon presided. After some discussion of an informal character a committee of one from each ward in the city was appointed to report to the General Committee on Tuesday evening next. ‘There is evidentiy consi- derable strength and vitality stilt in the Deinocratic Union party, and they scout the idéa that the de- fection of a few leaders whose alliance with any party is intended pe to subserve personal ends and objects can affect injuriousiy an organization such as tle Democratic Union.

About six hundrea persons assembled yesterday evening around a platform placed at the junction of Houston and Bedford streets, from whtch the demo- cratic lights of the} Eighth ward thundered forth an endless stream of abuse against the leaders of the radical party, their policy and acts,ipast and present, as legisiators and citizens. The little platform was crowded to its utmost capacity by zealous claquers of ,the club, who occasionally “moistened their parched throats with the beverage of the unterrified from a black bottle, A crowd of small boys in front of the platform exulted over a burning flour barrel, while a band of musicians, for whom there was scarcely elbow room, tortured their instruments into heartrending screams of music. The meeting was called to order by the President of the club, Mr. E. B, Miller, who after a few words of introduction resented Mr, Eagan as the first speaker. ir. Eagan said a great many things neither very true nor very new, but nevertheless was much encouraged by: Sua, “ni his’? from the gentlemen with the black bottle, and retired amid a storm of applause from the thirsty unterrified in front of the platform. Mr. ANDREW JACKSON ROGERS, Who was the next speaker, said that he could not speak very long, owing to the condition of his voice, which was nearly ruined by speaking almost every night since the Fourth of July. He touched up Congress, as- sailed the Reconstruction laws, pitched into the radical party and aenounced the negro dn his usual fluent style, The latter, he said, were never any- thing anywhere, and history proved that in thelr own country they lived by eating oneanother. They were the only people who made anything out of the late war, and now carpet-baggers wanted to give them control over inteligent white men. He re- viewed the history of the democratic party, and proved to the satisfaction of his intelligent auditory that during its government of the country everything was as it ought to be, In that happy time no hen went to lay eggs in mortal fear of the tax gatherer gob- bling the fairest of her offspring. He next pitcned into the bondholders and the dreadful people who inhabit Fifth avenue mansions and excited his au- dience to a burst of patriotic hi-hl’s by an allegory as pointed as the “Pilgrim’s Progress’? and twice as plain, . Rogers continued at considerable length to review the work of reconstruction, radical ex- travagance, negro suffrage and greenbacks, and finally retired amid @ burst of applause from front and rear. Mr. J. ©. Lewis, A. J. Fellows, of Arkansas, A. TL. Goulding and others subsequently addressed the meeting and the proceedings terminated, z Meeting of German Democrats in Brooklyn. The German democrats of Brooklyn held @ mass meeting last night at the corner of Pearl and Wil- loughby streets. They had a large stand erected on the streetand this was elaborately decorated with Chinese lanterns. The meetitfg was called to order about eight o’clock, when Mr. Stern, of New York, was introduced and commenced speaking. About the same time some parties took possession of astoop on the opposite side of the street and started a republican meeting, and for nearly half an hour it was impossible to understand what either speaker was saying. The Occupants of the house where the impromptu meeting was got up became indignant and gave both | speak- ers and assemblage @ shower bath from the windows. ‘This created _ considerable excitement, but quiet was soon restored and the Germans continued their meeting without any fur- ther interruption, Mr, Stern spoke for some length upon equal suffrage, the financial questions and the inevitable “Sambo.” He was followed by Dr. Michael, when the meeting adjourned, The republicans held a large mass meeting last night under their big tent at the corner of Fifth ave- nue and Ninth street. The meeting was called to order about eight o’clock by Mr. R. W. Potter, A series of resolutions were then read by Mr. J. E. Paine aud unanimously adopted. Speeches were made by General Sickles, Messrs. J. L. Barber, John Oakey, J. N. Griswold, J. J. Couch, Silas B.

Appiy the test of Maine to this vote and radicalism will receive in Pennsylvania an increase of eight vor r cent, or 24,581 votes, making a total of 331,85! utes, and democracy will receive an increase of thirty per cent, or over $7,025 votes, making @ total Of 377,124 democratic votes, showing that we will have a clear democratic majority of 46,269 votes, While the totals shown by this estimate are too large for the vote that we will cast in October, no mab who knows the condition of public sentiment in Pennsylvania will assert that the relative proportion will be lessened, Maine voted for John ©, Fremont, yet James Bu- chanan was elected Pressdent, and Pennsylvania led the column of States that made him the Chief Executive of the nation. The hope of the republic is in the democracy of the Keystone. As in 1856, the responsibility of determining the contest now rests with you. Maine has proven that you can again bring tri- umph to the principles you love. Let us arouse to renewed energy and more deter- mined effort. By order of the Democratic State Committee. WILLIAM A, WALLACE, Chairman. Political Notes. Hon. George W. Woodward addressed a very large meeting in Hazleton, Pa., on the 17th inst, A cor- respondent says “Luzerne is good for four thousand majority for Seymour and Blair. Woodward will be re-elected by an increased majority.” The difference between a carpet-bagger and & scalawag is thus described by a Southern print:— “The carpet-bagger is a Northern thief, who comes South to plunder every white man who is a gentle- man of any property or respectability, and get all the offices he can, The scalawag is a Southern born scoundrel, who will do all the carpet-bagger will, and besides murder the carpet-bagger for the gutta percha ring his sister gave him when he left home.’” Aradical exchange calls democratic newspapers “1ying-in establishments,’? The Boston Traveller says General Butler will be renominated for Congress from the Essex district with but little opposition. The republicans of the Fifth New Jersey Congres- sional district have renominated Hon. George A. Halsey as their candidate. The Washington Star of the 16th states that the President will leave Washington during the next week, probably to be absent about ten days. He has not positively determined in what direction he will travel; but itis quite likely he will visit New York and afterwards Tennessee. Governor Fenton has gone to Jamestown. The entire democratic ticket was elected by an overwhelming majority at the charter election in Orangeburg, 8. 0., on the 14th instant. Fully one- half the blacks voted the democratic ticket. The election passed off quietly, without a single disturb- ance. The Town Marshal was the only police officer on the ground, and there was no occasion for his services, Two hundred dollars were paid for a single vote in Augusta, Me., by the radicals, They were lucky to have the money to give. It was diferent with the democrats. TROTTING AT THE UNION COURSE. A trotting match for $2,000, mile heats, under the saddle, came off yesterday afternoon at the Union Course, between Mr. Dubois’ chestnut gelding, Wash- ington Irving, by Ethan Allen, dam an Etna mare. ‘This horse Washington Irving is the largest and best roportioned of any of the get of Ethan Allen. The horse Rapid has no pedigree of reliability, coming from Canada; but he looks a well bred horse, and when in condition can trot fast. He madea mile this year on the Fashion Course in 2:27}, but yester- bay he was tied up and could not extend himself. The Ethan Alien was the favorite at_ two to one be- fore the start, and he won the race very easily. A second trot came off between a gray gelding and a bay mare, but it created very little interest, The gray won both heats in “a walk.” ‘The following are summaries of the day's sport:— Union Course, September 18.—Match $2,000, mile heats, best th J.
