Serenade to Mayor Wollman, the Governor Elect—His Speech. ‘The Empire Club last evening, under the guidance of tneir old standard bearer, Captain Rynders, paid the compliment of a serenade to the Governor elect at the Clarendon Hotel. There was avery large at- tendance of worthy and influential citizens, who had no association whatever with the Empire Club or with its leader, but who were giad to have any sort of a public opportunity to congratulate the Governor elect—Mayor Hoffman—on his election to the high office he 1s to fill, as the Chief Magistrate of the State, for the next two years. A little after ten o'clock the strains of music fora- told the advance of the procession, and in the next moment in rushed the irrepressible Captain Rynders, calling to the ,“Governor” that now was his time; that he must not be backward in coming forward; the Empire Ciub boys are all before you and they and Tare seeking a place of rest. ‘Can't you do it, Gov- ernor?” “Certainly, Captain,” responded the Gov- ernor elect, “but bide your time.” “Surely! says the Captain. At this time the procession and the music had gathered in front of the hotel and there were loud cheers for the Governor. Tnside the rooms there was a large assemblage of friends of the Governor, but all seemed to award to the Captain the honors of the occasion, and tho worthy Captain was naturaliy excited, a3 well he might be; for between the first speech a public man like the Captain makes and his “last,” while there may be a difference, it is all in favor of the frat— that {s if it isn’t to be his last, But the Captain said to the reporters:—“Boys, this is my lasi speech, and that's a fact.” Captain Ryndera, having spoken iis last speech from the balcony of the hotel, called Mr. Rtchard O'Gorman, who in a very eloquent but brief address introduced Mr, John T. Hoffman, THE GOVERNOR ELECT’S SPERCH. The Governor elect, on presenting himself on the balcony, was most enthusiastically cheered. He said:—1 thank you for the comple T unite with youin your rejoicings that the Empire State has ven stich decided majorities for your national and State tickets. I share with you the deep regret that we have not been able to secure a democratic triumph tm the nation. We have done our part, and fought a gallan against the of the purse and the sword. If they have failed in achieving victory they have shown their op- ponents that in @ minority a are power have largely icone ne representation, i Con. ave ne our re y = ehave in some districts defeated bold and Our friends in New Jersey have re- it aend to the that Senator uust know and un thet e ma. jority of more than twenty tiousand of the people of the State dectare that he is not their proper Fepre- sentative. General Grant is to be the President of the United States. In the whole course of the can- yass just closed I have not spoken one unkind or disrespectful word of him, while I have demanded the party who placed him in nomination and warmly advocated the election of our own nt standard bearer. He has been successful. Ido not congratulate him, for I know the cares which await him. I prefer, however, to encourage him. He may ‘uave yet the power to save the country. If he will exert his great oficial influence and moral sirengti to reunite all sections and all the peopte, to restore our ation to a healthy financial condition, to lighte” the burdens of the people, to economizé the natures of the government, reduce the taxes to vestore tutional law all over the land, he will fine the democracy ready to In him ana the peopie and the Governor of the Empire State will ve at Ins sid. If he will lift himself above and show in this present hour of national peril displayed when he commanded the armies of the nation and the moderation and mag- panimity he exhibited when he accepted the surren- der of the armies of the Southern Confederacy, he will earn the gratitude of the whole nation and the support of all true patriots. If, however, he shall yield to the demand of radical partisans, whose Policy 18 based on sectional hate aud never-dyiny an udice Le will fail as no man ever before fail fall as no man ever foil. But, my friends, the compliment yon pay me to-night t a personal one, and it is expected shat I shall say a word of myself, Ihave in New York and Pennsyl- vanta fought your battle for the national ticket to Ue best of my ability, In more than thirty speeches Thave endeavored to set fori the trath ‘and in all things to conduct inyself as becomes the Chief Magis- trate of your city and your candidate for the Chief Magistracy of your State; I have spoken no w kind word of opposing candidates; I haye in- duiged In no personalities, but | myself have been assailed by the opposition press and speeches most bitterly. They have assailed my oillctal integrity, utterly regardicss of my _per- sonal reputation or the honor and good natae of my city. Newspapers calling themselves respectable have made assaults as venomous as they were vig- orous. I have looked to the people who knew me to answer for tie, aud in my own city a majority of more than seventy thousand has hurled back the as- saults. Lthank them for it, and forgive, though I shajl not forget, my ailants, Lissued a proela- Mmation on the eve of the election, [knew it would alicnate from me lukewarm friends and weak supporters, bub if was neces- sary to the preservation of peace and order, I denounced what I knew to be gross outrages, and while my adversaries were talking about culling out ten thousand soldiers to preserve order the few st words proclaimed by me si cured more order that all the soidiering could have consummated. Thope 1do not speak in any spirit of egotism, but I wish the people to understand that. as Lhave once before in my official life shown that I Was not afraid of rioters, 1 never have and never Wil be atiratd of those whose conduct is calculated to produce @ riot, whether intended to do so or not. ‘The conduct of my adversaries, which I denounce, would have produced a riot if it had not been checked, Some of our opponents talk about contesting the election, They will not do it. A party in Congress may deprive Senators and Representatives of their seats, but there ts no power in this land that can de- feat the will of the people of the Empire State ex- pressed at the polls. They talk about preserving the pow of elections when they expend hundreds of ovsands of doliara to secure a victory, I have never, I am_ proud to say, bought my way into any office, and [ shall be glad to take my stand a the side of any of my opponents to testify the truth in a conrt of jus- tice. But, my friends, let all this pass; the election is over; let the vanquished be conte! let the vic- tors be satisfied; let the people everywhere for awhile lay aside ail bitterness and strife. What we need is ar harmony and union, and hot continued = strife = and = discord. ~— Let us strive to build up and not destroy. The mass of the people seek only the good of the country and they will have rest after a great struggle. I thank you for your services in the cause of the con- stitution, I thank the democracy everywhere. I thank the young men of the State of New York for their energy and their work, and will endeavor, with all the talent that God has given me, to discharge the he of my new office honestly and faithfully, and I look for my reward to the people who have thus far always sustained me. Mr. Randolph, Governor elect of the Stave of New Jersey, followed, and a few appropriate remarks closed the proceeding, the band playing ‘Hail Co- luimbia” as the procession retired, POLITICAL NOTES. The restless radical agitators in Massachusetts are already i the fleld with a national prohibitive liquor Jaw as the programme for 1872 with Wendell Phillips as their candidate for President, They might as weil attempt to remove the Alleghanics by revolution. The seat of Charles Whalen (democrat), Assembly- man elect from the Fourteenth district, will be con- tesied by James McKiever (republican) upon the grounds of alleged frauds in the election. If the next Legisiature undertakes to consider all the questions of contested seats now threatened it will have no time to take care of its usual jobs, The Charieston News congratulates itself that the democrats have been beaten, “not by a politician, but by @ soldicr—a man notoriously averse to the ex- tremes of party, ana Strong IN Wie CUUrcivUsncas of the confidence and support of the Northern masses."" The Vicksburg Republican advertises as follows:— “Wanted, immediately, 50,000 carpet-baggera to come to Mississippi and settic, —Those having trunks preferred.” The Portiand Argus says the vote of a radical in that city was bought fora pound of pork, He was not one of the “Hebrew children’? The New Haven Journal of November 6 states that an enthusiastic republican having made a wager with a hopeful democrat that he would wheel on a wheelbarrow down Chapel street the democrat if the State of New York did not go for Grant, proceeded jay to pay his wager. With his democratic eated in a blue colored wheelbarrow bearing a banner inscribed with the words, “New York for Seymour,” he performed his task amid the laughter of numerous observers. Another wager of a siml- lar sort ts to be paid to-day in Hartford, with a demo. cratic ass wheeling the barrow. Crowds of negroes from interlor counties swarmed at the polls in Augusta, Ga., on election day, and weat from one bailot box to another with perfect tm- puaity. Ina general pitched fight only oue colored person was Killed, The Washington Repydlican states that the elec- tton of republican Senators in place of Messrs. Hen- dricks and Buckalew, the certainty that another will be chosen to succeed Mr. Doolittle, the retirement of Mr. Dixon to make way for Mr. Buckingham, and of Mr. Patterson, of Tennessee, together with the change made in consequence of the resignation of Mr. Johnson, of Maryland, leave the democrats weak in numbers in the next Congress. There will be sixty-eight members, if we leave out Virginia, Missis- sippi and Texas. Of these the democrats will have two each in Kentucky and Maryland, one in Califor- nia, one tn Minnesota, one in Ohio and one in Geor- gia, or eight in all, Uniess they gain the Legislature in Nevada or New York—and they can have few hopes of either—the members will be sixty repub- licaus to eight democrats.

NEW ENGLAND SOCIETY. 0435, 718 129,552 May 1, 1867. June 1, 1867. Public Reception and Exhibition of a Web- ster Bust. Last evening a special meeting of the New England Society was held in the hall of the Union League Club for the purpose of a public reception and exht- bition of the Webster bust recentiy presented tothe Society by Mr. W. Aspinwall. The New England So- ciety of this city Was organized May 6, 1895, to com- memorate the landing of the Pilgrim Fathers on Ply- month Rock, as well a3 to promote friendship, charity aud mintual assistance and to maintain a library. The attendance last evening was numerous and fashionable, and throughout the greatest interest was manifested in the proceedings. In f, lete ter to the society Mr. Aspinwall stated that when tn Florence he saw & colos- sal bust of Webster which had just been finished by Ball; he waa greatly impressed by what he considered tho most characteristic likeness he had ever seen, either in marble or on canvas. ‘The lines are exquisitively drawn, and those who saw it last evening and knew the distinguished son of New England pronounced it to be correct in every feature. Shortly after eight o'clock, Mr. &. ©. Cowdin having uncovered the bust, the president, Mr, Joseph Hi. Choate, delivered thé opening address, and having referred in the most complimentary terms to the giver of the bust. = ® fitting tribate to the memory of the great statesman, and adverting to the great services which he rendered the country. Mr. E. Hoxie, the former president of the society, was then introduced and came forward amid loud demonstrations of applause, He alluded a to the great geniality which Webster ever displayed in domestic circles, because to know @ man properly, he must be known at his howe, and the speaker knew him well. He always appreciated Webster as a sociable man, Mr. Hoxie gave a most Mee 3 description of Webster's domestic life, and during the course of his address was much moved by the pleasant recol- lection which the memory of a great orator had juced. = Mr. W. H. Aspinwall was the next presented, and briefly returned thanks for the ep ce terms in wlich he had been alluded to. He was quite un- prepared to make a speech; but, perhaps, his in- elliciency in speaking would become jon port aince Grant was elected President. (Cheers and laaghter.) In lien of an oration, however, he wold give the audience a remarkable prediction made by Web- ster which had not yet been published. On one oc- casion at a private table, previous fo the war cry of 1854, Webster said that whoever had studied the geography with care must have observed that Sai Francisco was the only safe and cv acious harbor on the Pacific coast be- ween the Columbia river and the equator, and to his mind no event in the future was more certain than the existence on the western slope of this Continent of a great Anglo-Saxon empire, of which the bay of San Francisco should be the ont line to the Pacitte, and he considered a piece of terri. tory on the north was not to be weighed against (he advantage of securing that harbor and through it that future empire of our country, Whether in con. nectton with the United States oF as an Independent natton that empire was sure to exist. He would not live to see it, he (Mr, Aspinwall) might, and turning to him Webster advised him to educate his sond tor San Francisco, for tt would one day become the great centre of the commerce of the world, That prediction occurred twenty-five years ago and bad since been verified. After having again returned thanks the speaker resumed lus scat amid ap- plause. Rey. Dr. Bellows delivered, an eloquent euiogtam ‘onthe genius, character and services of Webster, whom he considered was one of the last race of giants who fashioned and formed and gave dignit ier to the American nation. ie reveren gentleman gave a glowing description of Webster's peculiar characteristics, which he pictured with reat trath, power aud feeling. tea eines his ad- resa he was frequentiy interrupted with Ser'acee, and at the conclusion aa Visitors proceeded to in- spec! bust, with which everyfone seemed highiy eased, A band was in attend and considera- Ely enlivencd the proceedings, which ternuinated shortly before ten o'clock.

Opinion of a Government Superistende nts A superintendent of government works recentty made a report to the Treasury Department in reward to the progress of the work under his gu pervis@om, and in speaking of the inanner in which the e'pne hour system works within his range of obsa ‘vatiuae says:—~ ‘ For the benefit of the sympathetic friends , of the unfortunate mechanics and laborers who at © Te garded as overworked in government employ) ‘ Wilt state that I have certain Knowledge that throug, ‘U8 the whole time the cigit hour system has beeq ° operation on this work my employés have had ne and strength to engage voluntarily in work for pS vate builders from four to six hours nearly eva working day, earning 4s ordinary masona, in som cases, oper diem pay oasal to my own as superintend ent of the work and the common laborers earning three doftars perday in some Instances.
