WALL STREET. Continued Improvement-~-The Gold Ex- change Resuming Business. Removal of Injunctions and Sales of Government Gold. Affairs of the Gold Ex- change Bank. A NEW CLEARING HOUSE CALLED FOR, The crisis in Wall street seems to have passed, Affairs yesterday were brighter than on any pre- vious day since the commencement of the panic a ‘week ago, and every one is now hopeful that by Mon- day the danger will have been passed, A very large proportion of Friday’s transactions have been set- ted by mutual agreement between contracting par- ties, and with the prevention of coercive measures ‘and the encouragement to continued forbearance and co-operation among sufferers by tho crash, it is expected that not only will tottering houses be pre- served, but firms already bankrupt will be re- estab lished, Wail and Broad streets yesterday morning pre- sented an unusnally quiet appearance. At ten o’clock there were comparatively few people in the streets, and the localities which for ten days past had been scenes of the wildest excitement and dis- order were almost deserted. A small group lingered about the doors of Smith, Gould, Martin & o., and similar parties clustered in the vicinity of the entrances to the Gold and Stock Exchanges; but the crowds which had hitherto monopolized poth Broad and New streets had disappeared. Every- body seemed to be taking matters quietly, and to a new comer it would have been diMicult to realize that those were -the men and the localities Which haa created the great panic. As the day passed away the streets became even deserted. In New street a score blocked up th é entrance to the Exchanges, and about an equal number lounged along the opposite sidewalk to watch the reports of the gold indicator outside the Gold Room. In Broad street drays and carriages moved around in- discriminately, the bootblacks, disgusted with tne general duiness, yawned and dozed in their chairs, and tne few dealers moving about divided their time between the Exchanges, the brokers’ ofices and neighboring restaurants. THE GOLD ROOM was better attended by members than it had been since Tuesday, and the reguiar transactions of the board were engaged in with considerable spirit. Prices opened at 130 and maintained about the same figure throughout the day. The following are the rates:— 10 A. M, 130 10:13 A.

New York Central went up to 175, Hudson River to 168 and Rock Island to 10034; but after the sale of a large amount of stocks at the generally improved figures there was a marked de- cline, especially in the above-mentioned stocks, During the day Hon, Henry Wilson visited the Ex- change, accompanied by Mr. fenry Clewes, and the veterans Drew and Vanderbilt also appeared for a short time, THE FAILURG OF LOCKWOOD & CO. ‘was announced in the Stock Exchange, and a feeling of aympatiy with the firm was generally expressed. Bach member of the firm having turned over all his property, including the princely residence of Mr Le Grande Lockwood, at Norwalk, Conn., and made an assignment to John P. Acker, for the bonefit of the creditors. Ail financial men are coming forward ‘with substantial aid to the firm, and it is probable that they will be enabled to resume business before Jong. The actual condition of tho frm cannot bo NEW YORK HERALD, SATURDAY, OCTOBER 2, 1869—TRIPLE SHEET. known for some time to come, but from the enor- mous magnitude of their transactions and the fear- ful sacrifices they made in their almost frantic endeavors to keep themselves from falling, their condition, it is feared, is really worse than has been or can be now imagined. They are sald to have paid $1,000,000 in gold differences alone, and they were “bulls” in Pacific Mat] stock at from 120 down to 60, The report current yesterday that the Lake Shore road was indebted largely to the firm proves incorrect. On the contrary, it turns out that over $1,000,000 of the funds of the company were io the hands of Lockwood & Co. What maybe the consequent loss to the Lake Shore road will depend upon the settlement which the suspended firm may be able tomake, At pre- sent it is estimated by those most conversant with the affaira of the road that the lose will not exceed $500,000, although aramor prevailed last evening that the amount would reach $1,600,000, The com- pany have made provision for the payment of the coupons of the consolidated roads, due October 1, amounting in all to about $250,000, ana the Bank of New York is now paying the interest. It appears that an informa! meeting of the New York directors was held yesterday, at which 1t was resolved to propose and if possible elect Mr, Bancker to the position of treasurer of the com- pany, but this scheme was defeated by the Western directors, who arrived in town in full force yesterday morning and strenuously opposed the proposition, It is reported that the Western gentiemen have informally tendered their assistance to the firm and are prepared to advance means to enable Lockwood & Co, to settle everything satisfactorily. SMITH, GOULD, MARTIN & CO. have as yet made no statement, but the examina- tion of the tickets of brokers dealing with the com- pany, and which were sent in to the Committee of Twenty, shows that that firm had to receive from twenty-eight diferent brokers $20,650,000, and had to deliver to twenty-one brokers $7,499,000, The difference, $13,150,000, shows the “long’’ gold of that house so far as can be ascertained without a statement from them, WILLIAM HEATH & CO. adhere to the offer made by them on Thursday to setue on the whole of their $9,000,000 at 136, and upon the difference between that and the actual figures to pay eighty-three per cent guaran- teed by Smith, Gould & Martin, the remain- ing seventeen per cent to be paid as soon as they obtain their funds—amounting to nearly $400,000—from the Gold Exchange Bank, Their carrying out of this proposal 1s dependent upon two-thirds, in amount, of their creditors accepting it; but as creditors covering over $2,000,000 of con- tracts had accepted the proposition last night, it is probable that their plan of settlement will be adopted. They state that if it is accepted they can get @ check at once from Smitb, Gould, Martin & Co, for their differences, THE GOLD EXCHANGE BANK remains in the hands of the recetver, Mr. Brown, and its affairs are being arranged as rapidly as pos sible. Tne currency of the bank—amounting to about $180,000—has been deposited with the Broad- way Bank, ana its gold—amouning to about $300,000—in the Sub-Treasury. The following noiices were yesterday sent by the oMicers of the bank to the Gola Exchange: — New YORK Goup EXCHANGR BANE, } Oct, 1, 1869, TOWNSEND Cox, Esq. :— Sir—I am directed to yom every dealer with this bank to send into the bank a 1ull and complete account of claims of whatever nature against this bank, with every item specified to verify those claims, This should be done at once. Respectfully, H, M. BENEDICT, President. Late in the day the following additional notice was sent to the dealers with the Gold Exchange Bank:— NEw YorE GoLp EXcHANaE, Oct. 1, 1869. Dealers with the Gold Exchange Bank will please send 1n at once their statements of Friday morning, mended on the basis of striking out from their statements the nine names advertised as rejected on September 27, The nam es are as follows:— Albert 5) tained 5 & Co.

THE CITY FUNDS. The following letter from the President of the Nationa! Broadway Bank explains itself:— NaTIONAL BROADWAY ae} New York, Oct. 1, 1869, To THE EDITOR OF THE HERALD:— I consider it my duty, as an act of Justice, to cor- rect the statements which have be tgs ip the puolic journals during the last few days that funds of the city have been diverted or used by the Coam- berlain, Peter B. Sweeny, to ald the recent opera- tions in Wall street. These statements are without the least foundation in tratn, The moneys of the Corporation have remained in the cus the regular banks of deposit during the peri in guestion precisely as they have tnrough ali the time of Mr. Sweeny’s administration. 1 may be permitted to say that this is a subject in Tegard to which there need not and ouglit not to be any misrepresentation, as inquiry in the proper direction would at all times furnish reliable infor- ination. This bank being the bank on which drafts are made is at all times the depository of the largest amounts, As the result of long experience 1 can state that no person filling the office of Ci ham- beriain has acted with more impartiality nd pru- dence in the control of the city’s moneys than the present incumbent, F, A. PALMER, President. INJUNCTIONS. The injunctions of Walter B. Palmer and of E. R. Willard against Townsend Cox and others came up im the Supreme Court before Juage Clerke yester day, and the argument on the orders to show cause in these cases why the injunctions tying up the Stock and Gold Boards from settling last week's transactions should not be continued over was adjourned over to Tuesday next. Mr. Shearman for piaintit; Mr, C, A. Seward for defendants, ‘The injunction against Polhamius & Jackson has been removed, except in the case of a lot of $270,- 000, gold, coming from Lockwood & Davenport. It was stated among brokers yesterday that the reason why the injunctions of the last few days were granted was that something of the kind waa neces- sary to be done tn order to let things down easily, ‘The pante in gold of Friday had caused the failure of alarge number of firms to meet their engago- ments, and if the gold which these houses were re- quired to deliver and receive was thrown into the market under the rules of the Gold Exchange an- other panic would follow, owing to the depression in prices, and not only financial but business interests would be swamped. Therefore, when the first effect of tho panic had been felt, it was deemed advisable, in order to prevent any forced sales being made, which would throw an indefinite amount of gold upon the street, to resgyt to injunctions for the purpose of staying rash proceedings. The courts therefore interfered. Members of the Gold Exchange settled about one-half of Friday’s business yester- day—about $150,000,000—ex Clearing House and entirely among themselves. And now that the trouble is over the injunctions are bemg gradually modified and removed as the market settles, A NEW CLEARING HOUS! is being talked of among dealers in the Gold Ex- change, and it is reported that steps will soon bo taken to create a Clearing House which shall not re- ceive deposits, but simply settle accounts, A move- ment {9 also on foot among prominent merchants to induce the Associated Banks to receive and pay out gold, and make clearances of gold through the Clear+ ing House, the same as they now do with currency. The matter has been brought to the attention of te Clearing House managers, and some action will soon be taken in the premises, This would groatly facili- tate the merchants who require considerable gold in the regular channels of business, and the project meets with much favor. THE SEIZURK OF THB GRAND OPERA HOUSE. A report gained some credence yesterday that the Grand Opera House had been seized on account of some alleged Habilities of James Fisk, Jr., and Jay Gould, arising out of the recent Wall street dimcul- ties. The report was so dotalied as to state that the Process was served while the rehearsal of the “Tem- pest,” to be produced on Monday next, was in pro- gress yesterday, and that the rehearsal had been summarily terminated thereby, Upon inguiring at the oMce of Sherif O’Brien it was learned that no process of any description had been issued to or served by that oficial or his depu- ties against apy property of Mr. Fisk or Gould, and that no property of theirs is under seizure. When Marshal Barlow was subsequently inquired of regarding the affair he made a simular reply, and suggested that if such were the case it must have been done through the Sheriff's office. ‘The performance of Vietor Sardou’s “Patrie” took place without any interruption iast evening, and this affair was probably intended merely as & burlesque on the financial ‘“Tempest’’ of laat week. LATER PARTICULARS. The following is a notice of pendency of action Med in the office of the County Clerk by Jobn R.

Great Trot Between Lady Thorn, George Palmer, Goldsmith Maid and American Girl—Lady Thorn the Winner in Three Straight Heats. Boston, Oct. 1, 1869, The great race to-day at Mystic Park between Lady Thorn, Goldemith Maid, American Girl and George Palmer, for purses of $2,000 to first, $1,000 to second and $500 to third, was won by the former im threo straight {heats. It is estimated that 10,000 people witnessed this race—the largest crowd ever assembled on the Mystic grounds. The sky was without a cloud, the weather oppressively warm. Arace for horses in the three minute class opened the Jair for the day, and immediately after the firat heat of this class the track was cleared for the great trot. The horscs appeared in fine condition, although Lady Thorn was a little lame yesterday, and, it was thought, not in quite as good spirits as usual. But notwithstanding this she was the favo- rite in the is at tremendous odds, Pools of $1,000 were goid freely with Thorn at $600, American Girl at $250, against the fleld, consisung of the Maid and Palmer, at $160, With such odds there was very little excitement in the Letting and the pool selling rather quiet. First Heat,—After two false starts they got the word, Palmer leading slightly, the American Girl half a length behind all the others, Palmer matin- tained bis advan and Thorn, shaking off the other two, caught him and kept on his wheel down the backstreteh, passing him near the three-quarter jolt, AR WinuiiK WO leat Vy ume lougvn, I 2.2074. Pater trotted squarely until within ten feet of t Girl fourti Second Heat.—Lady ‘thorn was now considered the winner of the race beyond all doubt, and poo.s were sold for the second 1n the race only. American Girl and Goldsmith Maid sold nearly equally— from $00 to ¢00—and Palmer $25 to $20, The horses got the word the second time scoring, Palmer again leading, The Quéen of the Turf caught him near the first quarter pole and on the second quarter they were neck and neck, neither seeming to gain any advantage. At the half mile she shook him off and came under the wire the Winner by a length anda half, Palmer second and the Maid third, Third Heat—Considerabie time was lost in scoring and when they got off the Maid and Palmer were together, @ jittle ahead of the other two. Palmer had the lead for about forty rods, when the Lady burst ahead, Goldsmith followed and passed lum also, and down the backstretc! caught up and led the Lady a very little, ana op the third quarter fairly outfooted her, lenaing nearly a length at the three-quarter ole. Lhe excitement was now intense, and a few faint voices offered even bets on the Maid hago | the heat, but on the homestretch Thorn regain her position in advance and came tn an easy win- ner of the heat and race in 2:20, Goldsmith second, Winning the second money, Ainerican Girl third and Palmer in the rear. Lady Thorn was Ler with the greatest enthu- Stasi by the crowd when she reacied the judges’ siand in the third heat. HUDSON RIVER STATE HOSP.TAL, Meeting of the Board of Manngers—The Work on the Building to be Vigorously Pushed. POUGHKEEPSIE, Oct. 1, 1860. In accordance with a previous resolution, the Board of Managers of the Hudson River State Hos- pital met here to-day. All were present except Genetal Howland, of Fishkill, who ts absent in Europe, There were here also Wm. F, Allen, Comp- troller; Dr. Van Buren, of New York; Judge Charles Wheaton, of Poughkeepsie, and James H. Weeks, of Pougnkeepsic; Amasa J. Parker, Abiah Palmer, Mayor Clavk, of Newburg; Mayor Morgan, of be aed gga and others, Governor Hoffman and Homer A. Nelson, Secretary of State, were expected, but did’ not arrive. The hospital being dituated two iniles from the city the visitors were conveyed thither in carriages. Upon their arrival they were shown about the grounds and into as much of the immense building as is now in course of construction, They were also taken to the wharf, which has been built out of the funds appropriated by the Legislature and which cost $12,000, Tiis includes a large trestie bridge end about half a mile of good roadway, With gentle grade, up which one team of horses can draw ten tons weight, It 18 eatt- mated that this wharf aud roadway have saved the State $8,000 in two years in the matter of transportation of supplies alone. One section of the hospital is nearly completed ana the furniture for it will soon be introduced, Work is in progress on the second section, the foundation for it being nearly completed, The first section will be ready for forty or fifty inmates by spring, It was for the purpose Of taking measures’ to hurry the labor on the second sec- tion that the managers convened to-day, After exploring the grounds and buildings the visitors were invited into Dr. Cleveland’s cottage, where all partook of a fine lunch, the appetites of those pres- ent being sharpened by the somewhat lengthy ride and stroil, After lunch the mani held a busat- ness meeting, Comptroller Allen being present. Dur- ing the session it was resolved to proceéd so rapidly with the work on the second section as to have it enclosed by the time cold weather sets tn. All hope that the Legislature will make its annual appropria- tion for the hospital much earlier this session than it did last, 80 that no time may be lost during the winter for want of funds to hurry the completion of this yery much needed institution, THE BOARD OF SUPERVISORS AND THE COMPTROLLER, Suit to Restrain Payment of Tax Levy Appropriations, An action has been commenced tn the Superior Court by Smith Ely, Jr., Supervisor, against Richard B, Connolly, Comptroller, which possesses somo very remarkable features, The action is brought by Supervisor Ely to restrain the Comptroller from pay- lng appropriations made by the Board of Super- Visors at their last meeting, for the alleged reason that the meeting of the Board wal illegal and its proceedings void, because the time and piace of the mneeting Was by desigu concealed from the com- piainant, Mr. Ely states that he sent a messenger repeatedly to the office of the Board to ascertain at What tue the meeting would take place; that such an inffiry was made at halfpast two o'clock on Friday, at which time the clerk repiied that no meet- ing Would take place that day; but that at four o'clock of the same day & quorum of the Boara met and passed the annual tax levy bout $20,000, but sent no notice Lo the complainant, Is require by law.

After spending a month tn Ireland she goes to Florence, where she intends studying under competent masters, The following matinées are announced for this afternoon:—Patti, at Steinway Hall; ‘Martna, the Théitre Frangais; “Leah, at Booth’s; mosa,’’ at Niblo’s; “Old Heads and Young Hearts,” atthe Fifth avenue; “Uncle Tom,” at the Olympic; “The Irish Tutor,” at Wood’s Museum; ‘“Patrie,” at the Grand Opera House; “Ixion,” at Tammany; Varieties at the Comique, Varieties at Tony Pastor's and Varieties at the Waverley, The season of “Grand Historical and Romantic French Opera,” at the Academy of Music, has come to @ full stop, Owing to “unavoidable circum- stances” the management have been compelled to suspend the performances for the ensuing week. It ja proposed, however, to recommence operations at an early day with Ambroise Thomas’ “‘songe d'une Nuit d’Ete.” ‘The English comedy season commences at the Thé- tre Francais on Monday evening, October 11, with Chan{rau as Sam, and will continue for four weeks. Mr. Chanfrau, who 1s one of our best “character” actors, will be supported by a strong company, in- cluding Miss Rose Ey.inge, Blanche Grey aud Mr. F. C.

Mr. White, who is both irrepressibie and Lg page will employ nothing but talent of a high order, and Will himself appear once more upon the stage ina series of his eccentric Ethiopian sketches. The pop- ular Charley, though White by name as well as by nature, fed the reputation of belng one of the best biack comedians in the country. Manager Strakosch will favor the. appreciative Newarkers on next Monday evening witi a grand Patti concert, and in addition to Mile, Pats will pre- sent them with Messrs, Ritter and Prume, the cele- brated violinist and pianist. With such “stars” as Jefferson, Patti and Herrmann to cheer them, it 1s no wonder that the haughty Newarkers of late have been almost beside themselves with joy. . W. H. Pope, the elocutionist, 18 to recite Byron’s poem of ‘Mantired” from memory at Dra- matic Hall, Brooklyn, on the 7th of October, repeat- ing the same poem at an early day in this city. in the new spectacular piece now in active pre- aration at Wood’s Museum Mile, Rita Sangaili, the opular premiere danseuse, Will make her debut as Qn actress, appearing in a role written expressly for her, m which she will be afforded an excellent opportunity of Cispiaging her peculiar taleats as a vocalist, If Mile, Sangalll achieves but one-half of the success ln her proposed new line of business that has characterized her efforts a8 a dancer, she will have nothing of which to complain. The Erie-pressible “Jubilee Jr.,”’ is about to in- duige in another “‘tempest,’’ other than the one now raging in Wall street. On next Monday evening Perea “Tempest” wiil be revived at the Grand Opera House, with a most extraordinary cast, and ail the accessories of “sheet iron thunder and rosin lightning.’’ Miss Lisa Weber, one of the original members of the Thompsonian brigade of blonde burlesquers, is to sustain the 1 die of Ariel. The Thompsonian blondes opened in Baltimore on Monday night, in the threadbare ana witless bur- lesque of “Sinbad the Sailor.” The short-skirted brigade of bionde beauties was reinforced at Baltimore by the bewitching buriesquer who rejoices ina great head of yellow halr, black eye- jasbes pnd @ “woice of wocal weivet!” Thus strengthened, there 1s no good reason why the beau: tful, blusning blondes should not carry the *Mona- mental City’ by storm. ‘Talent’ is sure to teli! So much for taient! The professors of the American Conservatory of Music have tendered their services for a grand beneft concert to be given by them for the relief of the widows and orphans of the unfortunate Avon- dale miners. The copoert will. come off at Irving Hall on Saturday, the t6th of October, and promises to be agrand affair, Messrs. Frank Brothers, pro- prietors of Irving Hall, have tendered its free use Upon this occasion. rmann, the original ‘prestidigitateur,” de- lighted the Puritavical Brooklynites on Wednesd evening with his wonderful feats of sleight-of-han and illusion. Last evening he again held forth at the Academy of Music in this city with an entirely new repertoire of tricks which have never before been attempted in this city. On Monday evening next he contemplates astonishing the Newarkers in @ eunilar manner. The Great European Circus will not return to this city this year. The camping ground at Thirty- TUE awees aud Divwaway, where they have so often exhibited with brilliant success, can no longer be obtained for “show” purposes, therefore 1t is that this « concern Will not pitch its mam- moth tent in lowly Gotham this season, On Monday next It expects to enter Philadelphia, where 1t.will remaia until the first fall of snow, when the com- papy will be disbanded, the horses, lions, elephants, &c., going into winter quarters at Fonda, N.

Having engaged Jem Mace, the great belted champion of the En, lish prize ring, at a fabulous sum, to display shape and muscle in a series of statuesque attitudes on the boards at the Tammany, the ‘Natty ’Arry’? now proposes that the “great belted beiter” show his skill as a sparrer, for the edification of the “great unwashed and unteirified” patrons of the great wig- wam. With this laudable and scientific object in view, Mauager Palmer has so arranged the prelimi- naries that Mr. Mace and his cousin Leopold will appear in a ‘twenty-four foot ring” at the Tam- mauy on next Monday evening, the “Natty Arry’? himself probably acting as ‘bottle holder.” At all events he wiil rake in the stakes, and hold them too, Mr. Maurice Neville—the young Hungarian trage- dian—is, we understand, about to appear at the Stadt theatre in this city, in a round of Shakspearian characters, in German, This will be a new rdéle comparatively for Mr. Nevilie to essay, for although he bas achieved a brilliant success in English Shak- spearian characters, he has never before, we believe, actempted them in the German tongue. Mr. Neville, although a Hungarian by birt is essentially an American actor, having made his debut in Boston some four years ago, since which time he has at various times supported Mrs. Bowers, Mrs. Lander, Mrs. Jobn Drew and many other brilliant ‘stars’ of the “profession,” in leading parts. Having but re- cently returned to tis country, after a year’s ab- sence in Europe, where he has been playing at the Imperial Court theatre, Vienna, he proposes, at the solicitation of the management of the Stadt theatre, to favor our German clilzens with a round of Shaksparerian characters, in German, before en- bode upon the winter’s campaign upon tie Hogiish slage. THE GATES WILL CASZ, Continuation of the Testimony Before Sure rogate Mills. The mvestigation in the validity of the will of the late Dr. Carleton Gates, of Yonkers, was continued at the town hall of that place yesterday, Mrs, Martha Yates, the mother of deceased, was recalled and tes- Ufled that she observed an unusual and pecular expression in her son’s eyes. On various occasions he threw some coffee over her, Once he pressed hie hand against her jaw and pushed a tooth out, One night he was 60 violent and threatening that she fied from the house. On several occasions he threw a knife at her when she was sitting at the table. The witness was cross-examined at length by Mr, Lyons, but nothing material was elicited.

Haymakers vs. Eckford, The Haymakers, after their well won victory on Wednesday, went over to the Union grounds yester- day determined to defeat the Eckfords, if they pos- sibly could, Their determination, however, availed them nothing, as the figures given below will show. The general expectation was that the game would be close and exciting, and there was, therefore, a pretty fair crowd present. The game openea with the Haymakers at the bat. They came up to the home plate, one after another, with an air of deter- mination that told plainly they meant business, They hit hard, and six times the first base was earned on good hits before the side was disposed of, One got the base on “called” balls, one on a throw by Devyr and another on a muff by Wood, and were helped by a wild pitch and by a pass and bad throw by Jewett. The Eck- fords very justly felt scary, and were ebliged to work as carefully as they possibly could. Although they managed to creep abead of the tough ‘‘scythe silngers,”’ they, knowing how well the latter can fight up-htli, did not feel secure until they had dis- osed Of the last man, The score will show that the atting of the * Haymakers” was of the ‘ pop up’? order, while the Eckfords generally batted on the ground, The outflelding of the ‘ Haymakers” was, porhions their strongest point, The King brothers ave @ faculty of recovering after a catch or a stop quicker and then throwing the ball more prompuy and forcibly and accarately than almost any other outfielders in the country. ‘The score of the game 1s as follows:— “HAYMAKERS,” ECKFORD, Players. 0: RAB.T.

The Match Between the St. Regis Indinns and the Knickerbocker La Crosse Ciub—The Redskins the Winners in three Straight Games. ‘The St. Regis Indians played a maton game yes- terday afternoon at the Capotoline grounds with the New York Knickerbocker La Crosse Club, which 18 composed of Canadians, all of whom reside at present in this city or vicinity, The match was the best three in five, and was begun at about haif-past four o’ciock, The Indians, from the start In the first game, put the Knickeroockers completely on the defensive. The latter had all they could do to guard their goal, and very seldom attempted anything eise but to keep thew opponents away from their flags. Several of the more adventurous, however, occasionally put on an extra spurt, when the ball was within their reach, aud endeavored to change the tactics of the Indians to the defensive by clauding 1 on their side of the field, But the nimbie Redskins were too much for them, and the bail seidom or ever re- mained a second at any great distance from the Kuiekerbocker’s fags. The first gaine was won by the Indians in sixteen minutes, the second in ten minutes and the third, wlich won them the matcn, in fifteen minutes, The Knickerbockers showe? themse ives very inferior players, an’ during a! the games were outgeneralied in every way by their opponents, Indeed, a looker on, who kuoWs nothing about La Crosse, would have beea l6d to believe from their actions that they were playing a simple game of “shinny.” They never succeeded in Keeping the oali in their “crosses” long enough to Make & deceit run with tt, and even in the simple throwing {ojtom succeede: In getting the ball out of they, opponents’ reach whenever one of the Redsk' ag was near enough to make his la crosxe ‘do g00 4 ‘vice in outmanwuyre- ing aa individual ante” nist, Several times during the mateh the Knick esfockers, in struggling for the rubber, so far fe got themselves ag to push their opponents out “oF the way with their hands, which Was altoget’jor disallowable, Wheuever the bail got near T’ .eir goal iney batted at it as a cricketer would “.o at a “stunner” going direct for his wickets, and geemed to rely more upon putting their ®" eersariea’ heads in danger by whacking away at them during @ run for the ball, than to capture the rubber and get it by a good run in dangerous prom imity to tue Indians’ goal. The latter, on the other art, Were oa skilful as could be tn their play, In- stead of making wild throws, When one of thein got the ball he dodged through the Kuickerbockers with it, Minging tt over each man’s head whom ho had to contend with in his ran, oaly to catch it safely again alter is opponent had made @ desperate whack at him with his la crosse without hitting the ball. When hard pressed the Indian who had the bail always took good care to piten it to one of his co-workers tn the Geld, who repeated the action when be was cornered, By this meana, and the nimble way they dodged in and out of the Knickerbockers’ ranks, they managed to keep the rubber nearly all the time at the white men’s goal. The Knickerbockers were badly whip- ped, and will certainly require @ good deal of prac- tice before they can even make a decent show against the St. Kegis players. No better {ace gaa ye had of the endurance of the Indians thay that al the close of the first game several of the Kuicker bockera were so “blown” that they had to lay of to t into condition agam, while the Indians, in te ing for them, killed time oe ig With the ball nong themselves, it may said, in justice to the Knickerbockers, that they had not played before yesterday in four years, —_ the Senate. THE SENATORIAL FIGHT IN MASSACHUSETTS, Denial of the Reported Diseontent Among the Seamen on the Sabine, The Telegrafo Pirate to be Captured, WASHINGTON, Oct. 1, 1869, The Tennessee Senatorship—Andy Johnson’s Election Rendered Certain. A gentleman who resides at Greenville, Tenn., the home of Andy Johnson, and who has just visited both Knoxville and Nashville, writea a3 follows of the chances of the ex-President for the Senatorship:— I met many of the infuential men of East Ten- nessee at Knoxville, and can say that almost with out exception they are for Johnson for Senator, and uniformly expressed confidence in his election, At Nashville more Canoe to him has been developed and exhibited than elsewhere, but it ean hardly by any possibility be’ stron; enough to overcome the inteuse feeling o} favor and friendship that exists among the peopis all over the State, The fact is, and I regret to It, though justice demands that I should here record 1 that among the fiercest and most uncompromising his enemies are to be found the relentiess and bitter enemies of the Union in the late struggle. They are secretly using as their main argument against him his energetic conduct as Military Governor of Tene’ hessee. The result of tt has been to strengthen and unite the friends of the ex-President, till now it seems certain to many that he will be the choice of the Legislature, and to some that he will be elected on the first ballot, The Senatorial Fight Between Wilson and Butler. The story that Senator Wilson had made @ com promise with Ben Butler about the Massachusetts Senatorship would seem to be incorrect, Butler's iriends say he 1s still in the fleld as a candidate, and that the story about the compromise was started by Butler's enemies, Senator Wilson, when here a few days ago, affected indiference about the matter, but said if the people of Massachusetts chose to elect Butler Senator he had no objection. It was remarked by those with whom Wilson talked on the subject that he was uneasy about Butler being on the track. The Reported Mutiny on the Sabine. A letter dated Lisbon, September 11, received to-day from one of the crew of the Sabine, hailing from this city, states that not only ts the story of the mutiny entirely without foundation, but that there was never the least trouble or disturbance on board that ship; that the crew are satisfied and contented with their officers, and are treated as well as the crews of any of the other vessels, The Sloop-of-War Juniata. Some time ago Admiral Porter advised the Secre- tary of the Navy to Mt out several of the steamers in the navy as sailing vessels, with a view to economy and also to teach the sailors of the navy practical seamanship. Some doubts are entertained of the success of the measure, on the ground of delay in getting from one place to another. The ex- periment, however, was tried on the steam sloop Juniata, She was fitted out as a full-rigged sailing ‘vessel, and her commander inatructed to use only can- vas on his trip across the Atlantic. The Secretary of the Navy received a report from the commandes of the Juniata to-day stating that she had arrived at Lisbon, after a run of twenty-one days from New York. The Secretary regards the experiment asa success, and it is probalne that several more steamers will be fitted out as salling vessels, Of course this is only intended for a time of peace. Bridges Across the Ohio River. Representative Moorhead, of Pennsy!vania, with a delegation of steamboat owners, arrived here to- day. ‘They wil! go before the Board of Engineers of the War Department, appointed under an act passed at the last session of Congress, to investigate and report upon the length of span to be adopted for bridges across the Ohio and other Western rivers and submit some facts relative to the navigation of the Ohio river, The steamboat owners are inte- rested in having a long span, and they allege that the short span interferes with navigation. The Stenmer Telegrafo. Theres reason to believe that our government has adopted all necessary measures for the purpose of capturing or obtaining possession of the steamer Telegrafo, now or recently engaged in committing depredations on American commerce, Outline of the Pian for the International Tadustrial Exposition. The committee of fifteen heretofore appointed to prepare an outline of a. plan for the Interna- tional Industrial Exposition held a meeting to-night. A resolution was adopted declaring it practicable to hold such an exposition m 1871, and that all proper measures should be taken to make it successful. A committee of threa was designated to prepare a@ charter to be presented to Congress for enactment. A national executive committee was appointed, consisting of the President and Vice President of the United States, Chief Justice Chase, the heads of the execu- tive departments, the Governors of the several States and Territories and the Mayors of the princi- pal cities; aiso a local special executive committee of ten for the District of Columbia, to which are to be added the Secretary of the Interior, the Commissioner of Patents and Commissioner of Agriculture, A committee was appointed to wait on the President and invite him to act as chairman er officio of the Executive Local Committee. Other committees are to'be appointed. Its proposed to establish a capl- tal stock of $1,000,000, in shares of fifty doliars each. ‘The above action is to be submitted to the General Committee of One Hundred, heretofore appointed at the citizens’ meeting. The Negro Police Question Settled, The Board of Police Commissioners has dismissed a white private charged with insubordination, which consisted tu his refusal to serve with a colored col- league on the force, Iuternal Revenue Collector for Virginia, Beverly B.

The pro- ower of the challenge offered to deposit the money in this office. Mr, Jacob Voorhis, Jr., the owner of the Madeline, will doubtless give a hearty response to the challenge. It ta generally supposed that Mr Sands, owner of the Eva, the winner of the race between her and tix Alice from Sands Point to Stratford Point buoy am back, on Tuesday, will give Commodore Ki, ., the owner of the deieated yacht, an opportunity of re- trieving his honors, The Alice, ic will be yvomem- bered, had almost won, in fact her victory was a foregone conciusion, when through the stupidr y or miscaiculation of the pilot on board, aiatal tack was made which resulted fn her complete abandon- ment by the wind, The event was arded as ex. ceedingly “hard luck’? on the part of the Commo- dore. itis probable, however, that the swift and graceful Eva wii! Ouge again contest for superiority with the Alice, and should she be victorious the question will be satisfactorily decided, A raee bas been arranged between the Addie Taylor, of the Neptune Yacht Club, and the Jui of the Harlem Yacht Clab. Mr, Tayior has 81 $1,000 to $800 on the firat mentioned yacht, and the contest ten miles to windward and back will take place from @ stake boatoif the Iie Hou Green- ville, on next Friday, Tae Comet and Julla will also contend over the same course on Monday week, the consideration being $500.
