WASHINGTON, | The Cabinet Divided Upon the Cuban Question. The President Favors According Bellige- rent Rights to the Revolutionists. Arvest of the Cuban Junta Endorsed by the Attorney General. ne Tron-Clad Oath for Vir- ginia Legislators. Wegotiations for a Postal Gonven- tion With France. WASHINGTON, June 18, 1869, Cuban Matters Before the Cabinet—The President Favoring the Cubans—TLe Cabi- net Divided Upon the Question. It ts nnderstood that as soon as the President and the members of the Cabinet who are now absent return the Cuban question will be the subject of a Cabimet meeting. It is conceded by some of the Cabinet members now here that the time has ar- rived when some definite policy should be adopted towards Cuba. From the beginning the Cabinet has been divided on this question. The President favors | tie Cubans, and would be willing to grant them belligerent rights, but his Cabinet is agatust him, ‘The sympathies of Secretary Fish, it is well known, are with the Cubans, but he does not wish to adopt @ policy which he thinks would place us in an incon- sistent light before Great Britain, especially while the Alabama claims question is pending. fle has done nothing, however, againsc the Cnbans, and nothing to further the Spanish interests. He had nothing whatever to do with the recent arrest of the Cubans in New York, and de- clines to take any action in the premises. Even the Cuban envoy and his secretary give Mr. Fish full credit for his sympathies towards the patriot Cubans. ‘The erudite Attorney General Hoar is pronouncealy against the Cubans, and asserts that if they are har- bored here, and their conduct winked at by officers of the government, they will get us into trouble with Spain, a coufitry he seems to regard with some dread. Hoar, iv is understood, has issued tnstruc- tons to all United States District Attorneys and Mar- Siials to keep @ sharp look out for Cuban agents and toarrest them upon the first sign of an attempt to intriage upon the neutrality laws. The Secretary of the Navy would be willing to lend the Cubans a helping hand. “Don't be too vigilant in watching for filibuster expeditions in Cuban Waters” is the language of his heart to Admiral Hof, Boutwell naturaily sides with Hoar and is for a strict enforcement of the neutrality laws against the Cubans. Rawlins, Cox and Cresweil are indifferent. Thus the matter stands. What policy will be adopted when the question 1s again brought before the Cabinet remains to be seen. The Cuban Didiculty—The Attorney Gencral Refuses to Interfere. The Attorney General, it is understood, fully en- dorses the United States District Attorney and Marshal in their arrest of the Cuban Junta in New York. Mr, Hoar is of opinion that Pierrepont has been derelict in his duty in not having the Cubans indicted and arrested long ago for a violation of the neutrality laws, The Attorney General entertains views on this subject peculiar to himself, and is a strict constructionist of the neutrality laws. In reply to a gentleman who interrogated him to-day as to whatcourse would be pursued in the case Hoar delivered the following written opinion:—‘I believel must refer you to the court and District Attorney. ‘The proceedings of a legal character are only of a public mterest after they happen.” The opinion was in the Attorney General's own handwriting, and is considered one of his best efforts. The Cubans have Bothing to expect from him. The Iron-Clad Oath To Be Required of Vir- ginia Legislators. We are informed from Richmond that several prominent members of the Waiker party called upon General Canby this moruing to get his opinion as to ‘whether members elected to the Legislature would be required to take the fron-clad oath or not. His reply was ‘that under the provisions of the Recon- struction acts he should require that oath of all members elected before taking their seats. Such ‘was the course he adopted in the Carolinas, and he Would adhere to it in Virginia.’’ This decision of the Commanding General has caused much excite- ment and had a depressing effect, as most of the candidates of the conservatives are gentlemen who cannot take that oath. New nominations will have to be made, but it will be diMficuit to find white men, and particularly natives, who will be able to qualify. Texas Politics. A prominent Texan in this city says all accounts from the Texas Convention agree that delegates from only seventeen counties were represented. The Convention was not called by the regular or- ganization, but by the bolters, Flake's Bulletin, ina long leader, reviews the facts, and asserts that Gen- eral Davis does not expect to be elected, but only runs to defeat the constitution. The Bulletin tor the first time declares for Hamilton, and says the good of the country requires his election. Negotiations for a Postal Convention with France. Senator Ramsey will leave for Europe with his family, by the steamship Cimbria, of the New York and Hamburg line, on Tuesday, the 224 inst. He has been designated by Postmaster General Cres- ‘Well as special commissioner on behalf of the Post ONice Department of the United States to negotiate with the French Post Department during his sojourn at Paris the basis of a new postal conven- tion with France, subject to approval by the post- master General of the United States. The thorough knowledge of postal aifairs acquired by Senator Ramsey during his long service as chairman of the Senate Committee on Post Ofices and Post Roads eminently qualities him for this important mission. The Bradley-Fisher Case. In the Circuit Court to-day the case of Joseph Hi. Bradley vs. George P. Fisher was called up. Judge Hughes and J. Morris, of Baltimore, appeared for the plaintiff, and Messrs. A.G. Riddle and W. A, Cook for the defendant. The plainti in one case sues for $20,000 damages, sustained by reason of the wilfal, malicious, oppressive and tyrannical acts and conduct of said defendant towards the sald plain. uf, on the 10th of August, 1867, whereby said Plainti was deprived of his right to practise as an attorney of the court, said defendant making an order to that effect, in which he charges, during the trial of John H. Surratt, the plaintif, after having charged the defendant with offering him a series of ftnsuits, refused to accept an explanatioon from the defendant, and threatened the judge with personal chastise- ment, &¢c, The defendant filed a plea that he was at and before the time of the said trespass one of the Justices of the Supreme Court, and the plaintift ought not to have maintained his action, because said order was by the defendant in the lawful ex- ercise of his authority and duty as presiding Justice of the Criminal Court. The second case charges libel in the publication of the order above referred to; and the defendant files thereto a special plea. Judge Hughes, for the plaintit, stated that he would like time to examine the pleas, and file a replication, and the counsel on the opponite side consenting, the case was set for Monday. ‘The Question of Lay Representation in the Methodist Church. The Metropolitan Methodist Episcopal church of tite city, where General Grant attends, heia an election to-daygon the question of lay representation ‘There were seventy-five votes polled, seventy-two of which were in favor of lay representation and three Sgainstit, The voting was not complete. It was Postponed untli Wednesday next, in order, it is sald, to allow President Grant a chance to vote. It 1s said the President is a warm advocate of iay repre- sentation. Discharge of Additional Clerks from the Trea- sury Department. Preparations were completed at the Treasury De- partment to-day for the removal of an addivional number of clerks to-morrow, many of whom, it is believed, will be dissmissed from the Secretary's omce, The intention seems to be to have the reor- ganization of the several offices eompleted by the end of the present fiscal year. © ‘The sollowing circular was issued to-day:— TREASURY DEPARTMENT, June 15, 1869, The provision of chapter six, section one, articles eighty-eight, eighty-nine, ninety, &c., of revised warehouse regulacions, of October 30, 1868, in rela- tion to the transportation and exportation of goods, wares and merchandise to the Dominion of Canada, are hereby extended to Rarer wares and mercban- 4.se imperted into the United States at ports herein- alter mentioned, with the intention, as appears from the Invoice bill of lading, &c., thereof, of being ex- pores immediately to the Red river settlement in ritish North America by the way of Port Pembina, in the district of Minnesota.

The trotting at the Mystic Park track this after- noon was of the very highest character, and wit- nessed by thousands of enthusiastic spectators. The first race was uncommonly well contested throughout, and not decided until after six heats had been trotted. The great event of the day, how- ever, was the contest for the $4,000 premium, which was looked forward to with great anxiety by thou- sands, Who exporsed to witness something remarka, ble in the way of trotting. The race, indeed, was a capital performance, and one rarely equalled, the time made being 2:22, 2:2234, 2:24, 2:24. The first premium was won by the Bashaw mare American Girl, who beat Goldsmith Maid, Palmer and Lucy. George Wilkes and Bashaw, Jr., although entered for the race, did not appear at the post. The track was in the finest possible condition for fast time, and the weather as delightful as could be wished for. We append our details of the FIRST TROT.

Movements Yesterday=A Call and a Jaunt to the Park—An Evening at the Theatre—The President to Leave for Washington ou Mou- day. The petulant lttle interrogation point of a man who penned the witticism about Cesar with a Senate at his heels was not altogether aware of all the phases which the sarcasm might assume. It is one of the avocations of littleness to dog the footsteps of greatness, waxing great by refraction. Cmsar with his Senate was nothing to a celebrity hunted by a score of members of the press, though it 1s republican to be a Cwsar of a celebrity to-day and a mere husk of a nobody to-morrow; littleness and greatness ever- lastingly shifting places in political and social economy, and littleness forming simply the great caterpillar out of which by evolution the full-fledged butterfly of greatness springs. Still, when the great- ness of to-day snubs the littlencss of the period by refusing to talk for its benefit there is apt to be considerable muttering and the latter boils over with indignation. So when President Grant imagined that he was to have a day all to himself, in the midst offso many Liliputians always on the look- out for Gullivers of ali sorts, he found himself mis taken. Provided one is little enough—tiat is, as di- munutive as the rest of the—mone may land on this huge scarabee of Manhattan, and, saving the fact that its human mosquitoes sometimes press their bills with offensive pertinacity, may circulate with very little annoyance. But if one happens to be great the case is different. It is one of the penalties of greatnesa to be compelled to submit to the bor- ing process; and the greater the greatness the more courteously it ought to submit. The President evaded the uncomfortable process and to that extent is culpable. Landing tn the city on Thursday evening, the President was driven to the house of Mr. Corbin, No. 37 West Twenty-seventh street, Yesterday morning the President would have been overwhelmed with callers, but he was not pres- ent to receive them. Wherefore the poor bell boy Was overwhelmed in his stead. The coup de grace that effected the discomfiture of the curious was very cleverly and very naturally managed. Early in the morning the President, accompanied by Mr. Corbin, visited A. T. stewart at that gentleman's office, and thus evaded a tempest of cards, which, the functionary of the White House being absent, were not submitted for inspection. Having had a somewhat protracted interview with Mr. Stewart, the President again sought his carriage, in the vicin- ity of which, in the meantime, a crowd had coliect- ed. His Sppearance was the ‘signal for a tumult of shouts and huerahs, to which he responded with only the traditional bow of thanks. Having reseated himselt in the open vehicle, the President indulged in a little jaunt about town, returning home about two o'clock in the afiernoon. Later in the aiternoon, accompanied by Judge Pierre- pont, President Grant took a jaunt to the Park—Mrs. Grant and others taking a tour of exploration to Ravenswood, and leaving the poor foot-sore and (by this time) tongue-sore bell boy in the limbo. Returning from the Park, the President took din- her at home, and was out again in the evening on a visit to the Fifth Avenue theatre, where his advent created a sensation. His appearance and departure were signais for hearty rounds of cheers, to all of which the response was simply a bowing of thanks. The President leaves for Washington on Monday morning, and, in the meantime, prefers to indalge in a litte quiet sight-seeing. ~ Vice President Colfax, wno has been indulging in a quiet, unoMicial look about town for a day or two, took the train for Washington yesterday morning.

CAML SUeGHN, Major nad A. B.C. er OBITUARY HENRY JARVIS RAYMOND. EDITOR OF THE NEW YORK TIMES, No announcement has for many months s0 startled and shocked the entire community as that of the death of Henry J. Raymond at an early hour yes- terday morning. It was so sudden, so utterly uné&- pected, that many persons at first doubted the intel- ligence. On Thursday Mr. Raymond was at the office of the Times, apparently in perfect health, and certainly With as little idea of his rapidly approaching end as any mortal could possibly have. Later in the evening he attended a republican club meeting, and subsequently went out in the company of several friends, who, it is stated, left him at the door of his residence, At this time it does not appear as if he even complained of being 1. In the afternoon he had visited Greenwood Cemetery with his daughter to select a burial lot for his son, who died in April last, and after his return remarked, while at dinner, tnat he feic very tired. This was the nearest approach to indisposition of which he complained, In every other respect he Was as well asever. On his friends leaving him he entered the house, locked and bolted the door, ahd must have been attacked by apoplexy immediately after, for his insensible body was discovered lymg prostrate im the hall at about a quarter of an hour before three o'clock, He was immediately conveyed to his chamber, and physicians were summoned to attend him, All that medical skill could perform was done to save hus life, but all the efforts were unavailing. He lingered in unconsciousness until five o’clock in the morning, when the spirit left the body, and all that remained of Henry J. Raymond was the lifeiess clay, Thus passed away one of the most distinguished journalists of the United States. HIS EARLY LIFE, It bas been justly remarked that there are four journalists in this country whose professional career has left an inddible mark upon the history of tne republic, Of these Henry J. Raymoad was one, and he was at once the youngest in years and in edito- rial experience, though barely second in reputa- tion. With but a single exception his early life was singularly like the early lives of his contemporaries alluded to, The same struggles with fortune marked his youthful days, the same slow and painful toiling up the ladder, and the same unfaltering persistency through the long months and years. ‘Ihe son of a farmer, in moderate circumstances, Henry Jarvis Raymond was born on the 24th of January, 1820, in the town of Lima, Livingston county, N. Y. The struggles of the father to gain a support for his fam- ily prevented the boy for some years from obtaining those educational advantages which aid so materially the development of high intellectual capacity. In the winter he attended the Seminary at Lima, and in the summer worked upon his father’s farm, That he should have progressed so rapidly, even with the limited means at his disposal, as to become the teacher of a district school when qnly sixteen years of age, was In itself an evidence of the natura! talents which he exhibited in maturity at a later period of his life. But feeling himself deficient in many acquirements the lad cherished a hope of having his education completed at some college. Luckily for him a favorable change came over his Jather'’s circumstances, and finding himself in possession of sufficient means to defray his expenses Mr. Raymond abandoned his schoo! and went to the University of Vermont some time during the year 1 Here he remained for nearly three years, distinguishing his collegiate career by a close application to study, a tenacity of purpose and a determination to’keep up with his fellow students, which won for him the esteem of his tutor, and the friendship of all the young men in col- lege. His graduation in 1840, if not brilliant, was Mattering, and he left Vermont with a reputation for solid attainments which few young men of his age have obtained, HIS ENTRANCE INTO JOURNALISM. To an ambitious mind a country town like Lima fo attractions, while a broad field opened in tne great cities of the country in which to build up a@reputation, It was, therefore, natural that he should, soon after leaving college, move to New York, where, to thé young and aspiring, there is al- ‘Ways @ flattering prospect. On taking up his resi- dence in the city Mr. Kaymond began the study of law, at the same tine employing his leisure time in teaching the classics, so as to obtain the pecumary means of supporting himself until he was admitted to the bar and obtained a practice. His success in this respect was but indifferent. Neither the law nor teaching were suited to his cast of mind, and it is probable that a good editor would have been lost in an ordinary lawyer bad he not made the acquaint ance of Mr. Horace Greeley, who engaged iim to write for the New Yorker, a journal then published by Mr. Greeley, though long since dead. ‘This was Mr. Raymond's first entrance into journalism, and his suecess from the start was so decided that when the Tribune was established, in 1841, Mr. Greeley en- gaged him on the new paper in the double capacity of editor and reporter, Atthis time there were no tele- graph lines and but comparatively few railroads in the country. ‘Tie total number of miles ot the latter in operation throughout tae republic was less than three thousand (2,167, im 1840). Journalism then had few or none of those valuable adjuncts which have since enabled the reader of a morning paper to learn what transpires every day thousands of miles distant from where he lives. Still, the rivairy be- tween the New York papers was sharp and often exciting. Mr, Raymond had recognized tue tn- portance of the revolution in journalism effected by the HERALD, and had adopted a Bred of energy and despatch in the performance of his professional duties. TUS REPORTORIAL CAREER. Of the reportorial career of the deceased Mr. Greeley has told us how faithfully he worked and how well, There was no kind of reporting winch he could not perform admirably, Whether descriptive or otherwise. His reputation a8 a reporter was gained soon after the Tribune was started. About this time Dr. Dionysius Lardner delivering his famous lectures on science in the Broadway Tabernacie—aan old church, remembered by many, thougn long ago pulled down. Mr. Raymond persuaded Mr. Greeley to publish full reports of these lectures, and he was directed to attend the Tavernacie and take them, which he did so admirably that he gained quite a reputation for the Tribune by his accuracy, Indeed, Mr. Webster once said that he preferred Mr. Ray- mond’s looghand reports of his speeches to the re- ports of stenographers. The deceased knew nothing of shorthand, embodied in stenography. He wrote with marvellous rapidity, and, having care- fully studied the uses of abbreviations, was enabled vo note down the words of a public speaker almost verdbaum, On one occasion he was sent to Boston to repori a speech delivered by Mr. Webster, Several compositors, with cases of type, were quretly placed in the steamboat on which Le travelled, and on the return, while the other reporters were re from the fatigues of their labors, he was hard al work writing out b, which was up in ty ready for the press by the time the boat arrived fn New York, and appeared in the Tribune the same morning, to the chagrin of the other journal- ists. However pratseworthy and remarkable this capacity for werk might have been, no constitution could long sustain the mental and physical strain it entailed, On the last night of Dr. Lardner’s lecture season Mr, Raymond, on returning home, after writing out his report, was taken ill and was con- fined ‘h bed for some weeks. His salary is said to have been eight dollars per week at this time—a sum barely sufficient to provide him, with rigid economy, tor the most ordinary necessaries of life. When Mr. Greeley called to inquire after him he was surprised upon learning that it was not the intention of the re- aad to return to the 7ridune unless his salary was increased to twenty dollars per week, This sum ne Was promised, afier some wrmhens= | and on re- covering from his tiiness he resamed his professional duties, not as a rey T, however, but as an editor. With his tilmess his reportorial career ended, and it can be said without exaggeration that there have been few reporters connected with the New York press so thoroughly competent as he was. HIS EDITORIAL CAREER. It was notlong after his return to the Tribune when he became the managing editor of that journal. As an editor his success was as marked as in his less responsible position. He exhibited the same ca- pacity for work, frequentiy writing, itis said, the entire editorial page of one day's issue without being exhausted by Nis labors, Allied to a mind quick at grasping an idea, he a fertile imagination, and was, therefore, never at a loss for a See retired from the me and connected himself with the Courier and En- quirer, with which journal he remained until 1861, when he withdrew in ence of a difference of inion existing between him and General Webb, was freoes coe ‘ith Mr. Greeie ou th subject jamous co! wi ir. e 8 ot Pourteriam.

ESTABLISHMENT OF THE NEW YORK TIMES. In September, 1851, the first numver of the yew ), 1869.—TRIPLE SHEET, -_ seniaseellliesasanetiaitanmintien York Times was published. It was then a one cent daily, ana was issued as @ single sheet. One year later it nad become so far established thai its Proprietors doubled the size and price. From the Start the managers of the Tridune endeavorea to Prevent ite circulation, Tneir carriers were forbid- den to interest themseives in geting op routes for the Times under penalty of losing routes on the Tribune, ‘The opposition, however, failed sig- nalty, Before long the carriers ‘ound it more pro- fitavie to carry the new paper than the old one. It ig Stated that “three editors, a dozen good printers, the assistant foreman of the composing room and the assistant foreman of the pressroom of the Tri- dune establishment forsook their subordinate and iil-compensated positions to accept better places un- der Raymond,” ee spina Tt ag certain that the sueccidfal csiabiishilent of thd Tires was due entirely to Mr. Raymond’s abill- es. He imparted to his oop ate. the energy and will to Work which he himself possessed to so great an extent. On the year following the first publi- cation of the paper iniel Webster died, and his obituary, which covered nearly ten columns of the Tones, Was written by the deceased in a few hours. It was probably the hardest day’s work ever per- formed by @ journalist in New York. When the Times became ‘rmly established, however, and could afford to employ. an adequate ‘stait of writers, Mr. Raymond ceused the hard labor which bad Markea his professional life, His duties became those of a supervisor, and, although he frequently wrote editorials for the paber, much of his time was Spent in reading the writings of ovhers, and making selections from them for the Lis le also occa. sionally paid a visit to Europe. During the war be- tween France and Austria, in 1859, he went Italy, and was an interested observer of the french campaign in Lombardy. It was while here tuat the Times published that famous article «yout the “Elbows of the Mincio”” which was attributed to Mr. Raymond, but of Wileh, It is said, he Knew absoluteiy nothing. The authorship of it was, however, fastened upon him and he carried it tu the grave. _ The soudriquet of “The Little Villain’ was given to him by Mr, Greeley during one of the numerous editorial duels for which the Zimes and Tribune became famous. Both were Whig and aiterwards republican organs, but the one Was rather inclined to conservatism and the other, a3 NOW, Was always ralical. It was not remarkable therefore that controversies should arise between the two, nor Was it singular that the peculiar style of argument frequently adopted by the Tribune should be used against the proprietor of the Times. To Mr. Raymonu’s credit be tt said that on his part all these jouroalistic Wars were conducied with dignity and decorum. MR. RAYMOND AS A POLITICIAN. Atan early day in his career Mr. Raymond be- came an ardent ew of the whig party, by Which he was, in 1s49, elected to the State Assem- bly. The following year he was re-elected and was chosen Speaker—a position he lilled with dignity and impartiaiity, in 1»d2 he went to Baltunore for the purpose of attending the Whig Convention convened there, and winch nominated General Scott for the Presidency, for the purpose of reporting its pro- ceedings, The sudden sickness of Geueral B, F. Bruce, a delegate from New York, left a vacancy 1n the delegation, which Mr. Raymond was selected to fill, His admission was opposed Be several dele- gates; but they finally withdrew their opposition and he was admitted to a seat. The part he took in the debate was important. It made mim a leader of those whigs who were disposed to follow Mr. Seward’s policy, which euded im the com- plete destruction of the whig ganization and in the birth of the republican party. ‘The Nebraska bill, which the Zimes opposed with force and ability and a convention heid on the subject at Saratoga Springs in August, 1854, materially furthered Mr. Raymond's political prospects. He took @ prominent part in the ranks of the opposition and Was rewarded with the nomi- nation of the Whig State Convention for the oltice of Lieutenant Governor on the same ticket with Myron H. Clark. He was elecied, aud darmg his term of ofice presided over the State Senate with marked abuity. Upon the formation of the republican party Mr. Kaymond espoused its cause and carried the Times over to its support. As a delegate to the first National Convention held by the party at Pittsburg in 1856 he wrote the “Address to the Peopie,” which was adopted, and after the nomination of Fremont supported bimfor the Presidency on the stump as Well as through the columns of his paper. In 1858 Mr. Kaymond became dissatisfed with bis republi- can allies, and it is believed that at this time he con- templated abandoning them and supporting Mr. Douglas’ doctrine of “popular sovereignty.” How- ever this may be, it 18 certain that he eventually re- sumed his relations with the republicans, and in 1860 Was sent by them as a delegate to the Chicago Convention in the interest of ar. Seward. After the nomination of Mr. Lincoln he supported that gentleman heartily and 1s said to have influenced hum to appoint Mr. Seward Secretary of Stave. HIS WAR RECORD. As soon as the secession movement began Mr. Raymond deciared himseif 10 favor of coercive mea- sures, und tirough the columns of gis paper urged the people to take up arms. When the disaster at Bull run was made known he deciared it to be the result of the hesitating policy of tae admuistration and urged the establishment of a dictatorsnip. The proposition created some excitement, but was never seriously considered, In 1861 be was elected to the Assembiy and for second time became its Speaker, and the following year was chosen Presi- dent of the State Convention held at Syracuse woich nominated General Wadsworth for Governor, who was alterwards defeated by Mr. Seymour. Notwith- standing the many disasters which had overtaken the Union arms during these years he continued to urge a vigorous prosecuuion of hostilities. Indeed, from the beginning of the war to its close he eon- sistently supported every measure of the administra- tion tending to a suppression of the revellion. . It might not be amiss in Us connection to state that soun after bis election to Congress in 1864 he visited Europe a second ume and wrote a series of war jet- ters, which attracted much attention, and in 1865 he published a ‘Life of Abraham Lincoln,” including @ history of his administration, winch was subse- quenuy amplified and published as the “Life, Public dervices and State Papers of Avraham Lincoia,”” HIS SUCCESS IN POLITICS. Was Mr. Raymond @ successful politician? No. His mind Was eqiuently conservauve im cast, aud aituough he allied himself to a radical o1 ation he could not support its every measure. lected to Congress ln 1364, the diterences which arose between the resident on ihe ene hand and the Senate and House of Representatives on the other, gave him his Drst opportunity of becoming «distinguished in poli- tics, Heretofore he had either served ip a minor or in @ non-omicia! capacity, m which his sphere had been cramped ana limited. Now a wide field opened vefore hin and he endeavored to avail him- self of its chances, Mr. Kaymond had become dis- gusted with the excesses of the men who controlled the republican organization, uud desired the forma- tion of a new purty which Would combine ali wp good principies of existing parwes without having their detects. He therefore sapported Mr. Johnson against Congress, and went to Philadelpita as a del- egace to the celebrated convention held in that city in 1866, and prepared the ‘Address to the People of the United States,” one of the most vigorously writ- teu polilical papers that bave appeared for several years. ‘lis action on his part aroused the indigna- tion of the radicals. ‘They deposed him from the oflice of Chairman of the Kepublican National Com. muttee and appuinted Governor Marcus L, Ward, of New Jersey, in nis piace. ‘Then followed that sharp correspondence between bia and Mr. Ward, in Which the latier certainly got the worst of the argu- ment, Upon seeiug that no third party couid be or- ganized, Mr. iaywond endeavored to retrace his Steps, bul without success. The very principles that be had denounced tu 1566 he afterwards supported through the T.nes, hesitatingly, it ts true, because of an innate conviction that they were wrong. it was this hesitancy which” made Thad Stevens ¢eciare, on one occasion when Mr. Raymond desired to pair of with a demo- crat on some question, that “The gentiemen from New York could pair oif with himself. The fact is that Mr. Kaymond was unable to declare him- seu independent oi all political parties. He aspired to become a political leader, but was not prepared to throw aside ali conscientious scruples and to act just as his party demanded. Tais obstacle to his prefermeat, which has been denounced as vactila- Uon, would really have been independence had he refused to become # partisan. He, however, pre- ferred to support what he believed wrong, be- to cause his party demanded tt, rather than oppose it on principle. It was not that he was not @ man of convictions; with him it was a lack of firmness to support conviction. And this, probably the single failing in his public character, Was the great bar to his political success. Of late months, while supporting all the doctrines and candidates of the repuolicans, he neither shared their influence nor possessed thei confidence. Only a few weeks ago he resigned the position of chatrman of the Twenty-third street Republican General Com- mittee. Previous to this, however, he made another trip to Europe for the purpose of recruiting his health, which had suffered from overwork, as well as from mental anxiety and disappoutment, But he had retired forever from public life. The worse that can be said of his political career is that it failed because Mr. Raymoud was by nature unfitted for the, at best, equivocal position of a politician. HIS DOMESTIC RELATIONS, Soon after leaving college Mr. Raymond married a most estimable lady, whose acquaintance he had made in Vermont. By her he had several children, of whom, @ son, Who graduated recentiy from Yale College, and two daughters, we belleve, re now ving.

Thas when disappointed at the failure of his political hoves he could always turn ag for sympathy, It ts no exaggeration to say that his death leaves a ener of New York whicn will n read ir. Raymond had his failings, as with all men, but it will ever remain to the honor of his memory that during his long foarnalisiic career and amid the most partisan poilltical controversies he never descended to the realiis of vituperation, but Was ever aus courtoous oa the veweeen was to frieuds. If he dis#ereed with the views expressed 3 ae by another he said so with dignity and in polite lam guage; under his charge the Times was never made @ vehic.e for personal abuse, In the prime of lite aud in. the midst of pri and apparent health Mr. Kaymond has from earth, Happily for those he leaves behind, many winters and summers will succeed each other and the fowers that grow upon his grave will bloom and Wither for maay seasons before his existeuce will be forgotten by those who take an interes: in the po- liti¢al and literary affairs of the republic.

RAY. MOND. Resolutions of Regret Passed by the Members of the Associated Press.

Resolutions Passed by the Ninth District Re= Ppublicun Association. A special meeting of the Ninth District Union Re- publican Association was heid last evening, at Leb- anon Hall, No. 10 Abingdon square, the President George F, F. Merklee, in the chair. The report of the Executive Committee was read and adopted, and @ special committee on the roli of the association was adopted. Mr. Norman Stratten moved the following resolu- tions:— Resolved, That this association has learned with sorrow of the death of Mr. H. J. Raymond, who,'in the vigor of his manhood and in the midst of his usefulness bas been so sud- denly taken from our midst. Resolved, That in his death the republican party bas lont one of its ablest supporters and def=nders—one whose voice and pen have been so often and effe-tually used in promoting its beat interests, Mr. Stratten spoke of the loss the republican party had sustained in the death of Mr. Raymond. His whole public life had been devoted to the interests of the party, aod his last work was to attend a com- mittee to perfect its organization. The president seconded the resolutions, which were carried unamimousiy. AMUSEMENTS. Sreinway HALL—Mae. Rose-Beu’s C Mme. Rose-Bell, the favorite opera bouge prima donna during the past season at the Thédtre Frangais, gave what she was pleased to term her “Soiree d’Adieu’ at Steinway Hall last evening, although we belleve the lady does not contemplate leaving this country for at least some few months to come. The concert, musically considered, was a creditdble success; but in point of the number of persons present it was only mediocre. The house was scarcely half filled, but what was lacking in numbers was atoned for, in @ measure, in enthusi- asm. ‘ne overture from ‘‘Faust,” performed upon the organ, violin and piano by Messrs. Busmeyer, Kopta and Dressler, began the evening's entertain- ment, and was followed by Ambroise Thomas’ “Mignon,” @ duet by Mme. Rose-Beil and M. Max-well, which was given with such pathos and sweetness as to be redemanded. The screnade from “Gil, Blas’ was next given by Mme, Kose- Beil, in costume, and so exquisitely did she render iv that the audience greeted her with an enthusiastic encore, Indeed, throughout the evening Mme Rose- Beil was in splendid voice, and acquitted herseif creditably throughout. The entertainment ciosed with the petit operetta of “Les Noces de Jeannette,” in which Mme. Rose-Bell sustained the of Jeannette, M. Genot that of Jean, Mme. Victoria Maurice appeared as Petit Pierre, and some unknown amateur rejoicing in the name of Mr. “Dash” sustained the arduous role of Thomas. The operetta was given in costume and was rendered enjoyable to U present by the finished acting and singing of Mme. Rose- Bell, who as beneticiary carried off the honors of the evening. [t 1s to be regretted that this tarewell beneft pertorm- ance of Mme, Rose- Bell was not given at the Thédtre Francais, as she certainly would have been greeved with a larger audience had she adhered to fer original purpose of taking her farewell of her patrons in some one of her opera boufe impersona- tions, with which her name nad become to u certain exteut identified with that establishment. Bowery THEATRE.—Mr. Freleigh, the popular manager of this establishment had bis annual benefit at this establishment last night. It was in every respect a bumper. A full house. an excelient enter- tainment and plenty of enthusiasm were the features of the night. Miss Herring repeated her favorite réle of Ixion, the veteran stage manager Clarke made his appearance in a favorite role and was heartily applauded, The other portions of the entertainment: were well received by the numerous auditors who attended.
