The democracy of this metropolis are pre- paring for a grand ovation to General McClel- Jan, who has just returned from Europe. It is understood t!at the General intends to give ® helping hand to Seymour in Pennsylvania, and the New York democracy, in this view, have determined to give him the prestige of a general turnout to welcome him home, and a mighty procession of the McClellan Legions to give him s goo! start. The democracy seem to entertain the idva that General McClellan is @ great favorite among “the boys in blue,” and that his presence in Pennsylvania as a sup- porter of Seymour will have some considerable influence among the soldiers in behalf of the democratic ticket. Doubtless General McClel- Jan, as the democratic candidate, would have made a better run than Seymour; but his military achievements against those of Grant sink him into a military failure. He was a great favorite with the old Army of the Poto- mac; but that army lies buried in the grave- yards of McCleilan’s disastrous Richmond campaign and Pope’s disastrous Bull Run cam- paign, and Hooker's and Burnside’s Rappaban- nock campaigns, and at Antietam, Gettysburg andin the Wilderness, &. Thé soldiers of the armies with which Grant crushed out the febellion are for Grant, and know very little about McClellan, and so we apprehend that McOlellan’s coniemplated Seymour campaign among the ‘‘boys in blue” in Pennsylvania will amount to liitle or nothing. He represents the unlucky period of the war—the period of the defeats and disasters of the Union armies— and go, against Grant, he is hardly the military chieftain to reverse the drift of the popular tide in this campaign. The New York demo- grats of the Manhattan Club may contemplate $nother trial for “‘Little Mac” in 1872 or 1876, however, and in this view it may be well to keop him before the people.

About 300 gentlemen met at Irving Hall last night to witness a match of billiards between John Deery and Melvin Foster, both of this city. The game was what is known asthe French carrom game, and was one of three hundred points for a stake of $500. The arrangements made for the accommodation of spectators were admirable, as each shot made by the contestants during the progress of the game was plainly visible to all present. The sporting fraternity mustered pretty strong, and many noted [billiardists were presen, includin; nip. Tieman, of Cincinnatt; r. Geary, Captain Boyle, George Phelan, Chris O'Connor and others of lesser note from this city. In order to avoid any disputes there were no um- plres chosen, juestions being left to the decision of Mr. Blanco, of New Orleans, who was the only judge Set During the match the teat order and regularity prevailed, the quiet which reigned throughout the hail being only occasion- ally broken by the applause which was always given when either of the contestants i heding or a re- inning markable shot, The betting at the of the match was in favor of Foster at the rate of $100 to eighty dollars; but as the play proceeded the odds in- creased, and by the time the fiftieth inning was played the odds were in favor of Foster $100 to ;wenty dollars, with no takers. ~-¥ The play calls for very few remarks, as from the commencement Foster took the lead and kept it ail through. The lead was won by Deery, who, how- ever, did not score jn his first inning, and Foster also followed suit. In the second inning Deery scored four points, while Foster only made two; but in the third inning Foster scored nineteen against Deery’s three. From this point Foster ually drew away, and when the score was announced on the eighteenth inning It stood—Foster 51, Deery 21. At the end of the fortieth inning it was—Foster 108, peery 56. At the end of the sixtieth ning it stood—Foster 207, Deery 91. end of the ninetieth it was—Foster 252, Deery and in the 107th inning, when Foster closed game, it was—| Deery 184, the former thus winning by 116 points. ‘The largest run was made by Foster, who scored forty in the forty-fifth inning. ie also made runs of nineteen, sixteen, fifteen, thir teen and two of eleven each. Decry’s largest ran was one of twenty-one points, in the sixty-fourth inning. His next largest runs were one of thirteen ints and two of seven points each. The Play ‘hroughout on the part of Foster was very cautious, Deery playing somewhat bolder. Several brilliant shots were, however, made by both of the players and were loudly Ls gern d by the spectators. The game.commenced at quarter past eight .P. M. and closed at ten minutes past eleven P. M., thus occupy- ing two hours and fifty-five minutes in ita progress. LOCAL INTELLIGENCE.

The tortuous channel of the Red river intersects hal{ dozen of the richest agricultural parishes of the State, where the negro population is the densest and the white vote the smallest, Numerous landings and the still more numerous contretemps of snags and sandbars give the travelling correspondent a Good chance of ascertaining public sentiment in the district through which he passes, Very chequered are the reports he gathers. In De Soto parish the negroes are forming democratic clubs and leaguing themselves with their white employers. De Soto, though the canvass is not yet fairly opened, ig good for a democratic majority. Natchitoches ig still largely radical. The loyal leagues are in full force, On Cane river the negroes have regular nightly drill meetings, are armed and tolerate no two opinions in their midst. Natchi- toches is likely to go radical, Winn parish is black ‘as Erebus in the complexion of its voting population. ‘The negroes are armed here and are violent in act and language, Mr. Coly Pearson, @ planter, who had turned off some radical negroes, was fired at the other night while sitting with his wife on the bal- cony of tus house, and both he and the lady were se- verely injured by buckshot. The planters are de- somes and inert, “We cap do nothing with the niggers” they say. “We've tried barbecues and we've had democratic niggers up from New Orleans, but it aint a bit of good.’” The white people of Winn evidently don’t know the right way to go about their work and have no one to direct them. Winn ts a Soft spot for the radicals, Rapides 1s blacker, 1f pos- sible, than Winn, but the democrats see hope for Rapides. A colored gentleman, with a very black face and avery white mustache, who boards our boat, introduces himself as “Cupid Brooks, the ne- gro democrat,” and says he makes tea converts a day to the “democratical”’ cause. But he has a re- quest to make,has Cupid. “Would we be good enough to supply him with some democratic papers; he can’t get anything but radical newspapers up there.” ‘The wagazish clerk promises to bring him all the back numbers of Brick Pomeroy’s weekly by return of boat, and Cupid, accepting the promise in good fatth, retires delighted.

Twenty-seven white votes to 1,200 black 18 too emphatic for the most sanguine democrat to get over, . To sum up, political prospects along the Red river are decidedly bad for the democrats, They must work much better than they have done so far, and must be guided by much wiser heads than those that noW control the State democratic committee if they hope to wrench Louisiana by near: help out of the hands of the radicals. It could be done as easily and as thoroughly as in Mississippi, but the democratic leaders are too intent upon securing loaves and fishes for themse.ves out of the general wreck to go the right way about it. It is not by sending out hired nigger democrats and fizzing oif rockets that the colored vote is to be controlled, It must be done, if done at all, by the personal influence of the plant- oe themselves brought to bear upon their former slaves.

Political Condition of the State—A .Definition of the Partios—The Negroes as Purtisans— Anticipated Disturbances—The Legislature d Its Acts=The Loyal Militia—sedition, mspirncy ond Rebellion to Be Pavished— Sentimeuts of the Negroes, RALFIGH, Sept. 25, 1808. Aa an observer of political events tn this section it becomes my duty to chronicle the fact that present indications are of the most portentous and forebod- ing nature. It is useless to disguise what already in this stage of the Presidential campaign seems tnevita- ble—that law does not exist in the North State; that the government is not a government with the consent of the governed; that avarchy prevails in every county in the State; that hostility exista be- tween the races, caused by the attempt to govern the superior by the inferior; that riots and diaturb- ances are of frequent, almost daily, occur- rence, and that as the campaign advances bloodshed wiil as assuredly foliow in its tracks as the trees shed their leaves in autumn. Already the | local press teema with accounts of outrages perpe- trated by one party on the other, by an individual of one particular persuasion on another of the opposite doctrine; with pistol affrays and combate, where bricks and other missiles are brought into imme- diate and often effective use. But here, as in the North, it cannot be said that two parties politically opposed exist. '. hough there is a democratic party, it is scarcely eafe to say there is a republican party. | Such an organization has been attempted. How long wil it lve? It is not yet in its swaddling clothes. ‘The negroes, marshalled by Northern mep who seek office, Compose the republican party, so-called; and it is an easy matter to see that the same negroes who now swear fidelity to repubiican doctrines, of which they are as ignorant as Chinese, will at any time the opportunity is offered become the most steadfast democrate—ay, Southern fre-eaters.

D. 1968, pre is something for freemen to read, but some- worse to be applied with the strong arm of power to people who have been born, nurtured and educated as freemen, Such acts as th incentives to inaugurate the very stat they pretend to prevent. How do the regard such legislation, and how woul it were applied to themselves? ® It is gratifying, however, notwithstanding such one-sided and high-handed legislation, to flnd among the white people a healthy aud wholesome regard for law and good order. ‘They iook ab all this as but the ults of @ revolution that will im due time be ad- sied, and patientiy waiting for that era of peace so. ng promised and so long expected, they “bide their time,” assured that it is coming. While there are many, after eight years of trial and suffering of disappointed hopes, found still clinging to the for- tunes of the “Lost Cause,” like true lexitimists, still thinking the Bourbon must return, yet, on the whole, the memories of that sad era are rapidly fading from. the minds of the people and are buried with the ter- rible past. Generally speaking, the negroes, where free from the bane’ Influence of “carpet-baggers,’”’ talk reasonably and seem disposed to further the efforts of their old masters in restoring good feeling and that relative position of the two races so essential to the prosperity of both, They have been somewhat disappointed in the results of their emancipation, and do not a9 a general thing find freedom and glo rious liberty to be exactly the paradise they antici- pated, still they all vastly prefer it to -slaverv, and are, ae as unwilling to return to bondage as their mer. owners are averse to havin: them in that condittoa again, Conversation wit! the intelligent of the newly enfranchised race goes to show that they have no hostile feelings towards the whites; and though most of them express the desire to be ullowed to vote, because they think it will make the white people respect them more and make their importance as voters felt In the body politic, yet there are few who aspire to official positions or who think themselves capable of Sing them, Numbers who have been appototed by his ona Governor Holden as magistrates and to other civil tions have in the most respectful but decided terms declined the honors thus conferred, Even now there be; to be a strong antipathy among them towards the “carpet-baggers,” and this is shared by that misera- ble few known in the South as “scalawags;” and as time progresses this feeling will increase until the n are the worst enemies of Northern ad- venturers, and conenanentiy redical interlopers. Presidentially I find Cu: disposed to look fa- vorably on the claims of Grant and to his But but I could quote one instance where a suble individual declared he ‘was gwine to vote for Gineral Butler fo’ Presumdent, in spite ob ebery ting.” The mase will vote for Grant, as will also & large number of whites, and from present indica- tions the contest will be close, though the democrata seem to have the best of it. An exciting campaign is here, and it is to be hoped that sound wisdom and discretion will prevail over passion and prejudice, though the contrary is now to be feared. SERIOUS CHARGE AGAINST A MERCHANT. He ts Charged with Receiving Stolen Goode— No Arrest Made and the Case Still in Em- bryo. Some time ago Mr. John Lynch, jeweller, doing business at No, 27 Fourth street, advanced an accom- modation to @ gentleman unknown, a sum of money on @ gold watch and a shawl. Subsequently the unknown called upon Mr. Lynch, and, representing that he had @ customer who would purchase the articles at an advance on the original cost, Mr. Lynch entertained the proposition, and by request of the un- known, who represented, 80 Mr. Lynch says, that ing few minutes the pany who was to purchase the artl- cles would be in, induced Mr. L. to lay the articles out on the counter. The unknown entered into an ex- amination of the property while Mr. Lynch tarned to attend to some customers in another portion of the shop. A few moments later he turned to the coun- ter where he had left the articies, and, to his aston- ishment, found that they and the man had disap- red. The case was placed in the hands of Detec- tive Eustace, of the Central Police Office, who, with his usual energy, set to work to discover the thief. Whether he accomplished i¢ is not known; but it is certain that he traced the articles to the possession of a merchant named Medgley, doing business at 68 Prince street. Detective Eustace aad Mr. Lynch went before some jnstice of the or police justice and obtained a sammons citing the merchant, Medyley, to appear before the justice, Mr, Medgley, who, perhaps, has not been guilty of any offence under the law, appeared with his counsel tn obedience to the summons, When tue counsel fright ened the jeweller from making a complaint’against the m ant on the threat to take legal proceedings him should he do 80, and a3 a comsequence yneh {8 out to the amount of $200, as the w bouts of the party who stole the articles is unknown, Afew minutes before half-past one o'clock this morning a fire broke out in the six story brick tene- ment house, No, 129 Henry street, proceeding from a sub-cellar nsed for the storage of wood, charcoal, old barrels and other stuff of an easily combustible nature, The fire had evidently been smouldering for some time before tt was discovered, as the smoke pene- trated to the upper stories, filling the hallways and entering the different rooms, awakening the inmates, who had mostly retired, to @ threatened horror ren- dered of easy suggestion to their minds by those re- corded im previous conflagrations im tenement honses.

An individual who has ba” operating toa con- siderable extent in this city 3 & hotel beat, as Mt learned from the narrative of’ the officer, was Ina evening arrested by detective Tiemann, of the Central Office undet somewhat singular otroum- stances, Tiemann ws in search of @ man named Eugene Murphy, who is wanted in a forgery case im Philadelphia, and having received information whtas led him to suppose he could be found At a cerigin house in Lafayette piace he called there to ascertaim, when he met a man who gave his name as Stewart, who informed him that Murphy was not there. Something in the man Stewart's appearance, takea in connection with his name, stirred the officer's memory in relation to another case in which Stewart, @ boarding house nomad, was sought, and induced him to arrest him, Upon searching him was found @ ip cut from one of the morning papers, contain- ing particulars of the arrest of Murphy in Brook- lyn @ day or two since on @ charge of larceny and his committal to the Kingscounty jail to anawor, which supplied the information desired by the oMcer as to the whereabouts of Murphy. The charge against Stewart was the larceny of two meerschaum pipes from a boarding house kept by Mr. Wright at No. 47 West Eleventh street, one of which was found in his possession, together with a pawn ticket for another, eapoceed to be its companion, Various other pawa tickets, given under dierent names, for different articles of clothing, were also found in his possession, together with a palr of sleeve buttons made from } text, and a pocket handkerchief marked tn similar American silver quarters, marked with the letier F im German characters F. R.A brass baggage check from Earl's Hotel and a paper check for an overcoa* from the Metropolitan Hotel were also found om his person, and a list of seventy-seven boarding and lodeing houses, all in frst class localities, with a few others ons card with the word “call” set opposite each. Numerous complaints, itis said, have been mide to the police respecting the ooeratinns of this indie vidual, and from these, from the pawntickets found on him, aad pardy from bis own admisaiwa, it ia learned that he has been travelling under numerous aliases, viz—Stuart, Hutehison, Gav and Yourrlan, a8 well as tits real name, given by himseif, as Joum Walter Shephard... Some six months since detective Tiemann was looking for him under the name of Yeoman, It appears he gave a piece of rough am- ber to ono of his numerous hosts, who, wishing to dispose of it, olfered it for sale to Kaldenberg, who recognized it as having a short time previously been stolen from him, Youman at that time lived in Amity street, but moved before the officer could ar- rest him. On examining the baggage left by him at Earle’s Hotel last evening the officer found a bunch of latch keys, supposed to be those of diiferent houses where he resided. Shephard.is a man about five feet seven inches im- height, with light hair, light mastache, in growth as welas in color, about twenty-four years of ago, of good adpearance, and saya he was born in Eng- land. Under the name of Youmans he has recen: been arraigned at Jeferson Market Police Cou on complaint of a boarding house keoper for fraud, It is ascertained that at more than one place he gave @ reference to 145 Broadway, where, om inquiry being made, all knowledge of him was de- nied; the inquiry not being made, however, until af- tor he had obtained board at least for a week. THE ALLEGED CASE OF POISONING. The inquest on the body of James Hamilton, which was to have been held yesterday, Was postponed Ul Saturday next until one o’clock. Coroner Flynn, im compliance with the advice of the District Attornay, refused to accept bal! for Edward and Arthur Rogers (father and son), from whose drug store the poisom « by which the deceased came to his death ta alleged to have been purchased. It will be remembered that Hamilton, who reside@ in Thompson street, took {ll ond sent to the defend- ants’ store for certain medicines; that when his ser- vant returned he did not make immediate use of them, but that in a few days afterwards, becoming worse, he partook of the medicine, from the effects of uch he subsequently died. A poss mortem examination was then held on thp body and it was discovered that Hamitton had dte@ froin @ dose of oxalic acid. It having been ascer- tained that the meaicine was purchased at the do fendants’ store they were arrested and confined im prison. The defendants were represented by counsel, who strongly contended that there was no evidence te justify the Coroner in declining to acceptb ail for thelr appearance, inasmuch as Edward Rogers knew noth- ing whatever of the circumstances. The Coroner said he could not possibly take bail for the son, as he was the party charge with having ad- ministered the poison, aud that a¢ be had been ad- vised by the District Attorney to refuse vali, he wag bound (0 refuse as agasnst both parties, The defendants were then remanded, BRICKLAYERS’ UNION NO. 4.
