— PERE HYACINTHE. + How the Distinguished Carmelite Priest Occupied the Time Yesterday—Saunters Among the Sights of the City—Ilis Visit to General Dix and Criticisms Upon Wall and Greene Streets—The Pere in the Herald Offiee— Gossip . of tie Corridors, Farly yesterday morning, before the gnests of the Fifth Avenue Hotel were fairly astir, Father Hyacinthe left his chamber, and, after a little exer- cise, ordered breakfast to be served in his private Parlor. Orders were given to admit no visitors, and cards for the reverend father accumulated at the hotel office like snowfakes in a storm. The most persistent seckers after an interview were politely bat frmiy denied admission to the apartments of the Father, who, after a generous mea}, devoted several bours to writing letters for Fran A CALL ON GENERAL DIX. About noon the Father proceeded to the house of General Dix, with whom be was on intimate terms of friendship, formed while the General was Minister Of the United States at the French court. The Gene- ral betpg in the country @ very brief stay was mado. at the houge, and the Father returned to the hotel, where he received Rey. Mr. Bigelow, formerly minister of the American Evancelical eaurch in Paris, FATRER HYACINTUR IN GREENS STREET. At hatl-past one o'clock Mather Hyacmthe left te hotel, accompanied by Mr. iteary Wood as interpre- ter, and proceeded down town, He seemed much Interested m the pecniiar features of New York, and ‘was very inquisitive respecting the reat commer- Clai houses hé passed, the novel signs displayed at various points, and the bustle which char: rized all the streets. Upon beiag informed of the charac- ver of Greene street, through which he passed in @ street car, he expressed surprise at its qguict appearance, and remarked that it w: stly superior in quietness and appearance of respecta- bility to similar streets in Paris, He seewed to expect such a thoroughfare to be flamuting vice in every quarter, and on leaving the street said that, if that was one of our “loose” ets, the American people must be very well beaved. IN WALL STREET. No hait was made uotil the Father reached Wall street, when he entered the office of Mr. Munroe, near Broadway, and had a_ protracted inter- view with that gentieman on business matters. The Father at first contemplated visiting Broad street, and a ramor of his approach soon reached the Gold and Stock ex- changes, putting the bulls ald bears on the qui vir of expectation. Every stranger who sanptered along in that neighborhood was scrutinized, and occasionally a rush would be made towards some individual supposed to be Mather Hyacinitic: bat the lion aid not appear, and after an hour or two Waii street forgot the new ripple of sensation in the Tegular exeliewent of tie place, AY THB FRENCH CONSULATE. From the office of Mr, Munroe Father Hyacinthe Proceecea to the French Consulatf, inf Green, where he was received with every » consideration, The objeci of the Father in cailing at the Consulate being only to place tie letters writ- ten in the morning in the Consul’s mail and to learr the latest news from France, but a few momeuts Were spent there, and, with many atientive demon- strations on the part of the Consular oMtvials, the Father took his leave. WALKING UP BROADWAY. Returping up Broadway the Father paused at fre- quent intervals to admire the many magnificent edifices, and at Trinity chureh a long stop was made study the interesting taviets and monumental Ineertptions of the historic churchyard. te was eet pleased with the new building of the Equitable Life Insurance Company, at the corner of edar street, and halted several moments to admire its majestic proportions. The dense crowd and con- fusion of Broadway at Fulton street afforded another wubject of study to the Father, wao was much sur- prised and amused at the apparently reckless man- ner tn which vehicies aad peaestrians were jammed Up together. A VISIT TO THE HERALD BUILDING. Pasaing Fulton street the Father’s atvention wa Riveted the marbie front of the Herald Builut and on being informed of its character expressed a desire to enter the estabitsnment. Although famil- tar with the interior of large newspaper establish- ments, he manifested great surprise and adiniration at the magnitude and periection of the HERALD office, and made a minute inspection of all that came under his notice. The remark being made by his companion that the HERALD was the greatest news- paper in America, Father Hyacinthe quickly replied, The greatest journal in the worid, sir; ibe greatest in all the world.” Aiter a very close exammation of the princtpal features of the HEKALD establish- ment the Father proceeded to the residen of Father Hecker, m Ninth street, where he remained an hour anda half, Father Hecker is an ola frend of Father Hyacinthe, paving known him very inti. mately in Paris; and it is understood that the’ inter- view of yesterday had inuch todo with the future movements of the distinguisued prelate, Accompanied by Mr. Lint, a fellow passenger of Father Hyacinthe from Europe, he also visited Ho- boken, from which be obtained a flue view of the Hudson, the bay and the shipping of New York, and late in the afternoon he returned to the hotel for dinner. At half-past six Father Hyacinthe entered the dining room and seated with a friend at tue ‘third table on the left from the entrance. (quite a Mutter was occasioned im the dining hall on his appearance, and a large crowd assembled about the door to get a glimpse of him. The ladies were quite enthusiastic m thet expressions of admiration, some of them declaring that he was the hand- somest man in New York. General Burnside roiled by and glanced in at the Father while the throng was crowding about tie door; and until he Jeft the dining room his presence absorbed the atten- ton of all in that vicinity. On bis way to lis apartments Father Hyacinthe ‘Was besieged by persons destrous of an interview, and a great many crowded up to shake hands; but courteously turning from tuem all, the Father nast- ened to bis parlor und gave orders that he Was not to be disturbed. In moving yout the city the Father was most surprised attne rapid advance that haa been made up town. When informed that Canal street was a few yours ago vhe northern limit of the city he expressed great astonisiment, and was very curious to know what had caused such a wondertul growth in so short a period. ‘The statement tha this wth was but an illustration of the pro; of le country increased his surprise, and he fell into a reverie of several minutes, from which he emerged with the singie exclamation, “Whata great people!

His future action, he saya, will very much depend upon the action taken by the Pope and the Council in nis cas: A BOSTON DEPUTATION. To-day a deputation of evangelical clergywen, headed by Rev. Vr. Kirk, will wait on Father Hyacinthe for the purpose of tendering him a recep- on in Boston. All the clergy of New York are Geeply interested in his visit to the United states, and are looking w the interview of the Bostou clergy with great expectations of some develop- ments of Father Hyacinthe’s purpos THK CROWD OF THE CURIOUS, New York, in the matter of curious people who are always on the alert (0 make the most of the arri- val In town of every notoriety, ts'considered to be, even by the women foiks, not a whit behind any other place tn the world, They always get the first wind of @ notoriety’s arrival, and are sure to be at the hotel as soon as he is, and to hang about the hallways for hours to pick op al the gossip they can get hold of, 10 retail it elewhere with all the embellishment their tertile bratnx cau conjure. They are a sleepless sort of creatures, are these curious ones, for the question of beditme never seems tw enter thetr heads so long as they have a ghost of a chance of learning something about the sengation tat is, or catehing a glance at the ends of bis cout tail retreating around @ ballway corner as he whisks himself out of impudent gaze Into his reserved qnariers; nor do they catewate the chances of dinner of supper £0 long as they are recompensed by titbits of gossijy In exchange for the sacrifice of the desirable meals. To these people the arrival of the French pwest, pore Hyacithe, was @ perfect Godsend, ‘They had been fasting for a long time for # good sensation to talk about and bear about, and had the stranger not ved as opportuuely as he did they might have abandoned their devotion to the shrine of curiosity out of sheer disgust at the scarcity of their accus- tomed food. As it was, the distinguished passenger by the Pereire wet them on their legs, and, protung by the delightful circumstance, May evidently made ‘up their minds from the moment he was quartered in his room to make the vestibule of the Fifth Avenue Hotel their speciat hea quarters.

Ue tinally remarked: “Then do T understand you to be @ Catholic ? “Lam @ Catholic,” was the quick reply, “and a 00d one, { hope; whica I wisn I could say of Father Hyacinthe.”’ ‘Well, really this is extraordinary. Ithought all Cathotics of intelligence leaned somewhat toward the views held by Father liyacmuie f? “Yoo were never inore mistaken in your life,?’ cx- claimed the other, who seemed to get interested in his subject, and who was by tis time sarrounded by quiie a gathering of gentlemen, who had been attracted to the by the discussion; “and to show you how he w led by Catholics of inteiligence J guarantee that so long as he remaius in this coun- try not one of them will call upon him, except to endeavor to exhort him to look back on the step he has taken and to retrieve it.” ‘But chat doesn’t prove that he is In the wrong.” “it proves jus tus, that good Catholics kiow their duty, wlitch he doesn’t.

You who are not Catholics are making, tt seems to me, more fuss over him than he lnmnself desires; and as for Protestant clergymen taking steps to give him a public reception, the ting is $0 ridienious that 1 wonder they don’t see it them- selves. Do you suppose these clergymen do this thing because they have at heart the eternal welfare of Catholics, or that they do not hate the Church as a great rival to their religious theories more than they love Father Hyacinthe’s so-called principles?” ‘This closed the dialogue, for the speaker at this point bowed poirtely to his interlocutor and walked out. while the gentlemen who had been attentive lsteners broke up into small groups, hone eagerly continuing the discussion which had been so abruptly terminated. There were many among thei who took almost the same view of the case that the Catholic gentleman had, and claimed not to be Catholics; but the majority appeared to be the champions of the Carmelite monk, aud spoke of him as a second Lutner, < Preposed Welcome of Father Hyacinthe to Boston—Meeting of Pastors of Evangelical Churches, [from the Boston Journal, Oct. 19] ‘The Meionaon nearly tilled ‘yesterday by pas- tors*of the Evangelical churches of this c.ty and vicinity, Who asseimbied to consider the propriety of welcoming Father Hyacinthe, the distinguished Carinelite friar, The meeting was called to order at eleven o'clock and Rey. Dr, Hovey, of Newton, was chosen chairman and Rey, 8. F. Uj Pgh secretary. Prayer was offered by Rev. E. B. Webb, D. D., af- ter which the chairman called upon Rev. Gilbert Haven, D. D., to address meeting and ex- plain its object. “He said that it had been suggested by brothers of the different denomiations that it would be well to recognize the movement of the eminent Catholic clergyman who had taken such @ stand in the direction of conscience, liberty and Christ, and that ashe was now in this coantry it would be fitting for them to extend him a weicome. It was not known that Father fyacinthe had left the Catholic Church; ail that they could say was that he had take! very bold step and had meurred the displeasure of the Pope, and if weicomed here ic might lead further in the good work. Rev. Mr. Prentiss, of Hyde Park, spoke of the liberal feeling that had been growing among the Catholics of Southern Italy for the past few years, which had been opposed by the ecclesiastical anthorities. in referring to the Ecumenical Council soon to be held he said that, according to a decision of the Pope, they were only to consent to 9 resuit that bad already geen decided in his councils, is understood that if this be the result of the Council the liberal party 18 condemned in advance. Liberal men in Europe, and indeed the whole body of Catho- he bishops tn America, would be contracted in their ; plans and purposes, spirit and action, It was in ac- cordance with thus liberal spirit that the protest of Father Hyacinthe had been made. Ile supposea that tn the strict sense Father Hyacinthe was nota Protestant, but that he was a Protestant im spirit and tendency, and as such they would heartily extend a welcome to hum lor recognizing these ideas, Rev. Dr. Webb thought the question for the meet- ing was, what can we do? fe did not wish to do anything that would amount to notuing when done, and ought they shoutd have a little uiore light. He thought they should know more about who had seut him, and their object, and suggested that it would be a good idea to address a letter to him, to ve placed in lis hands upon arriving here, and tien something further might be done. A suggestion Was made that as Father Hyacinthe felt great mterest lor our country during’ the lave war, he could be wel@buea on that ground, and if upon his arrival here he desired to speak for Christ he would then be welcomed as a lover of religious liberty. Key. Win. B. Wright spoke im approval of this suggestion. Rey. A. J. Gordon drew a parallel between Father Hyacinthe and John Huss, and in alluding to the course pursued by Father Hyacinthe said that he had appealed from the Cuurch to Christ. .

Rey, Mr. McDonald moved that a committee of five, one from each denomination, be appointed with discretionary powers, to confer with Father Hyacinine. 4 ‘The Chair appointed as the committee Rev.

The London Spectatur on Pere Hyacinthe’s . Ponttion, The London Spectator of October 9, commenting upon the threatened bull of excommunication, saysi— Father Hyacinthe appears to have actually incur. red excominunication. At least he is reminded by a letter from his superior, dated 26th September, that thia is, by the rule of the Order, aw well as oy the common law of the Church, the penalty for @ monk quitting his monastery and the dress of his order without the permis. sion of the competent authority. Such # monk is © \ Tegarded 28 & ‘‘real apostate,” and besides “the ver excommunication” incurs “the note of .” Father Hyacinthe is ordered to return to his monastery under threat of this penal course also the complete deprivation charges he holds in the Order of Carmelite monks. His superior adds that excuse given a Father Hyacinthe for throw- ing up his post, that he could ngt preach at Notre Dame “in language perverted” by dictation or mutilated by reticence,” 1s but an excuse, since the restraints jaid upon his public speeches by the letter of which Father Hyacinthe complained, were not extended to bis sermons in church, As the ten days granted expired on Wednesday, and we huve heard nothing of Father Hyacinthe’s return to his mouastery, we must ussuine that he means to per- sist at present in defying the Charch—and most probably, in spite of the cenials given by his friends to this suggestion, that he feets the authority of the Chureh altogether intolerable to him, and intends to throw tt off lorever, the THE PRESBYTERIANS.

CITY POLITICS. and of rf all the | The Nominations—The Tammany Senatorial Slate—Change in the Programme—How It Was Effected—The Braves in Council— Genet Nominated for the Eighth District— The Judiciary Slate=James C. Spencer Nominated for tho Short Term the Superior Coart. ‘The principal disturoing element within the ‘fam- many ranks has been the contest over the Senatorial slate. Herein lay the Regency’s strength and weak- ness in carrying out its policy in the future, while everything depended opon its position and influence in the Senate. In Saturday morning’s issue of the HEALD was presented the Senatorial slate as de- cided upon in the nominating caucus, and which would have been confirmed at the nominat- ing convention last night had no contretemps arisen imperatively demanding a change in the nominee -fixed upon for the Fighth district. It was the early and unexpected announcement of the slate by the HeraLp that, in fact, necessitated the change. Tammany was taken by surprise, and obe of the candidates who had up to the last mo- ment confidently looked forward to a nomination first learned from the HERALD that he was to be cast aside, He took his measures accordingly, and the reault was that Tammany found {t had calculated Without iis host in the person of Senator Henry W. Genet, whom {thad decided to trow overboard, and to supply nis place in the person of Mr. Terence Farley. Mr. Genet must have been a very formida- ble adversary when he, ag he did, at once determined to stump the district on his own account, and showed such confidence in the result as to propose a bet of from $50,000 to $100,000 that he would win. the day and defeat even the Tammany candidate in one of its strongholds. Here was a danger that must be avoiaed. The pres- Uge of Tammany’s triumphs was In jeopardy, and ‘with it was invoived the influence and character for supremacy of the Regency in the country districts. To measure the strength of two Tammany cand!- dates in one district on election day would be the fight of the Kilkeany cats over again and would ve the prize to the republicans; and the very Knowledge that such a contest was going on, even peeves to any result being known, would’ para- yze ull the efforts of the party in the doubtful districts in the State, and, tn fact, make the leaders prematurely throw up the sponge. This was Yaumany’s dificalty. But the chiel of the regency and his brother, the big Ingin chief Best- feather-in-his-cap Tweed, were equal to the emer- gency. A council of the braves of the district was mumediately summoned, at which appeared—the most prominent figure m the group—the Big Judge of the Wigwaw, with the big shillelal that was pre- sented to him by the rempant of the oid original ibe of Lavey-sirand-ers, to which he belonged im his youth and whom he lately visited, and one of a whole cargo tat he brought over witi him, and with whieh he has armed every voter in the district, not to Bay anything of presentations to his particular friends. ‘There were also present the redoubtable ‘Terry Farley, the cause of ali the trouble, and his competitors, Billy Hitcaman, ex-Speaker of the House, and the principal claimant and contestant for the nomination, Harry W. Genet. A big pow- wow was held in Chief Bismarck Sweeny’s private wigwam, to which none were admitted save the parties In council and the invisible Ariel of the HeRALD, who there did her or bis spouting, most gently, for fear of a gentle hint to “gil.” Alter the usual palaver it was agreed that Terry should retire, as he had done once before, for the good of the cuuse; that Hitchinan, who was alter ali the real favorite, should go bi to the Assembly, and that another trial, witi a promise of good bena- yior, should be accorded tne obstreperous Harry. Here was a miraculous transformation—a meta- morphosis of beiligerents into sworn brothers. 1t was enough to make the Big Judge “smile” at a stretch from this till after election day, and no doubt he will, May all the good boys ‘be there to see” and to smile with him. As for the other two braves—Farley and Hitch- man—they couldn’t contain their feelings, and left abruptly, Genet ouly rematning to settle conclusions with the two principal chiefs. And thus that which Ureatened to be @ source of disruption became a more binding link between the parues, and the Kighth Senatorial district, with Genet as its repre- sentative man, will no doubt be preserved to the ‘Tammany powers, and an example therefrom be set to the democratic rural contestants that in union is strength. itis said that other chiefs and braves of Tammany had a finger im the “pie” that tured out such a ‘‘lainty dish” to set before Bismarck Sweeny. These are Richard B, Connolly, Sheriff O'Brien—always @ mediator when not put upon his muscle—Alderman Mcuade, Edward Jones aud ovher grave and reverend seigniors of the Eighth district, who must know more of the secret contracts and bargainings that brought about this -of peace and amity, and the change that sub- Situs on the many slate for the nomination for Senat the mame of Henry W. Genet for that of Alderman Terence Farley, and to whom, for such iniormation, we would refer ali our readers curious for rulier information on the subject. TAMMANY COUNTY CONVENTION. : A Full Attendance and Fall Batch of Nomi- uations. ‘The east room of Tammany Hall was densely crowded last evening by the delegates to the Tam- many County Convention. All of the great powers were present, including William M. Tweed, Peter B. Sweeny, Senator Creamer, ex-Speaker Hitchman, Marshal Tooker, Senator Bradley, Judge Dowling, Judge Barnard, District Attorney Garvin and many others. Hardly ever has Tammany witnessed so distinguished a gathering of her sachems. Before the organization was entered upon a view of the room disclosed all the well known faces of the strife- worn chief, animated with a glow that promises that the war-whoop 1s about to be sounded ona high key. The “Big Injun,” Mr. Wiliam M. Tweed, called the Convention to order and nominated Mayor Hall as Chairman and John Haraing and Marshal ‘Tooker as secretaries, After these selections had been ratified the Mayor advanced to the desk and delivered a characteristic speech. ‘The Mayor expressed thanks for the courtesy in selecting him for so honored a position, He saw omens of victory in their earnest and patriotic faces—faces which showed that there were present merchants, artizans, laboring men and all upon whom depended the great- ness of democratic principles. How different the Union League Club! Its members were exam- ples of assumed meekness, exclaiming, ‘tieaven be mercifl to me, a republican and a sinner.” (Roars ot laughter.) Mr. Hall continued in a facetious strain and arraigned the republican party on various political counts. Referring to the purity of the Dench he closed #8 follows: Any attempt that may be initiated by friends of the ad- ration, whose recent conduct in Wall street alarmed the to tise our courts jury of the peoy will Und ¢ueu rebuke Irom our democratic Judges tit the second attempt will not be made.

Waterbury, chief fugieman, assembled at Masonic Hall last nigut. Im remembrance of @ former convention, at which the mild Waterbury was relieved of his watch and chain by am ippe- cuntons delegate, a strong force of police occupied the hallway and formed a corps of observation at the entrance. The attendance was quite large and Garvin. chael C, Gross. a good order was manifested tnroughont the evening. Nelson W. Waterbury presided. All the delegates being seated and the hum of voices having subsided, the Chairman smiled all over the room, chuckled violently and then aban- doned himmelf to a desperate onslaught on the in- Sensible desk with @ crooked walking stick. ‘fis elicited loud applause from the one pe and busi- ness was at once Inaugurated, The Chairman stood Up, sat down, stood up again and looked round, and, being fully saustied that there Was no Wild animal in bis rear, stroked his chin and threw himseif rhetorically upon the Convention. The work had to be suspended at the last Convention, he said, in con- sequence of the uproar which prevailed, but he hoped that nothing would occur to mar the har- Tony of the present meeting. It was his wish and he Would insist that every man had @ fair chance and that everything should be done in order and with propriety. Mr. Waterbury then blew lus nose with a loud report, aiid a storm of applause. The first business in order was the nomination of ® Supervisor. The following names were men- uoned: —Patrick J. McAlear, John Foley, Jacob Cohen and Waiter Roche, but the first named had no backers. A question having arisen as to the best way of making the nomination the delegates got into @ suari at once, and tue wily chairman had wo smile continuously to put a good fave on the matter. It was finally resolved to take the vote of the wards bean which Was done with the following re- sult:—John Foley, 221 votes; Jacob Cohen, 14% votes; Walter Roche, 39 votes. Mr. Foley was thereupon de- clared the nominee of the Roosevelt demucracy, and subsequently received the nomination by a unani- mous vote, Mr. ROBERT ROOSEVELT moved the following reso- lution, which was carried unanimously:— Resolved, That this Convention do now proceed to nom|- nate candidates for the ollices of Coroner, Surrogate and Judge of the Court of Common Pleas, and that the nomina- tion of candidates for Recorder and Judge of the Superior Court, to ull vacancies, be referred to the Democratic U Execative Committee (which shall also have pow vacancy in the ticket), with instructions to make such nc nations as will best secure union among all democrats ‘opposed to the Tammany Ring. Mr. PeTer Woops then proposed, in a neat speech, Mr. Nelson W. Young for Coroner, and the nomina- tion was made by acclamation, amid loud appiause, James W. SMITH proposed Rovert C. Huichings for Surrogate, and the nomination was also made unanimous. Mr. Frederick W. Loew was duly nominated by the CorfYention, on the motion of Mr. Thomas Gilroy, for the onice of Judge of the Common Pieas. A committee of one from each ward was then appointed to wait upon the candidates, While a motion for adjournment was pending the Chairman took occasion to congratulate the Conven- tion on the result of their deliberations, aud in doing so declared his belief that never before nad the party over which he presided put so strong a ticket before the people. ‘The day was past when 100,000 democrats could be the siaves of two or three men. ‘The people were waking up to a knowl- edge of their rights, aud they were bound to assert them. The Convention then adjourned. THE TICKET OF THE MOZART DEMOSAACY.

Last evening at a meeting of workingmen in Botanic Hall, East Broadway, the chairman totro- duced Mr. Counsellor Morris Dowling, of the New York bar, wao desired to addreas them on “The bility of Labor and the Tyrauny of Capital.” The gentleman, after stating that God was the first laborer, plunged into history, and proved that all the great and noble of every age had been laborers. From the Aposties down to Charlemagne, and from the French to the colonists of America, every distinguished man had labored either with his hand or brain. As for tne tyranny of capital, he proved that also by a string of examples. Every war of Ireland could be traced to the despotic use of capital. The Revolution of the States of America was attributable to the same imfluences: even tne “late onplesentness,” as Nasby terms it, was the effect of Southern capital invested in negroes and exercising @ despotic influence over the Norta, which the free sons of labor would not eudure. Before concluding he would point out the remedy— eget union and appointing for oMce independ. ent (riends of the working ciasa. Let them cou- menve to for the suvalier offices first, such as alderman, and by degrees they would by able to nominate in the future the Presidents of the conn- tury. And he would say that there was not a better friend to the workingman than Richard Walters. (Cheera.) No sooner had he tetired than an individual of a cadaverous visage and &@ most enormous, most por- tentous nose got up with a jengthy resoiution in lis hand, which he proceeded to read. It nominated Richard Walters for Aiderman of the Seventh ward on the workingman’s ticket, and avowed a determi- nation to vote for no one who would not support the eight hour movement. When he had read this he induiged In a speech most fulsomely flattering to Mr. Walters, who, blushing red as a beet, sat by the chairman listening uneasily to the sycophantic tirade. “Look at him, boys,’’ he cried, in an ecstacy of enthusiasm (pointing to the unhappy man with his hand) “look at him, and if ye’re physicologists ye'll know he's a good un. Just take a giunce at hisiace. Isn't it beautiful and kind? It's a soft face, with a good, bright eye (Mr. W. has a face like mahogany), and though he's a little bald, yet there’s hair on his head still’? When Mr. Michael Brophy had dnisbed tne resolution was seconded and adopted and the meeting adjourned, after Mr. Walters had returned thanks for the honor done him and the cordtal reception ne had met. REPUBLICAN JUDICIARY CONVENTION. A Straight Repu nm Ticket Nominated— Judge Clerke’s OMicin! Character Criticised, and the Judge Tossed Overboard, ‘This Convention met last evening in i'wenty-secona street, ex-Judge White in the chair, Mr. Rurus F, ANDtEWws, Chairman of the Com- mittee on Conference, reported that their com- mittee and committees from the ‘iwenty-thira and Twenty-eighth street branches had met together in Joint convention. The convention appointed a sub- committee, of which he was chairman, to ascertain if any combination could be made with organty: ons outside Tammany tall with a view of electing somebody in opposition to that organization. The sub-committee delegated to him the authority to make inquiries into the matter, and he ascertained that the independent democrats, 80 called, divided into two organizations, which, however, were about to unite, had made up their ticket and divided it among themselves, and (hat ticket consisted of men entirely belonging to the democratic party. It was urged very strongly by gentlemen representing democratic organizatious other than Tammany Hall that the pe eee party should endorse the nomination of Thomas W. Clerke for Judge of the Supreme Court. [his was reported to the Judiciary Convention, where a strong objectiou was to the endorsement of Judge Clerke for rea- sons which appeared to the committee to be good. Among these reasons was the tact that Juage Clerse had on several occasions during the war decitea questions where the interests of the government in prosecuting the war were sacrificed, and which cisions were suosequently overruled by o judges who had sat with him in the Supreme Court, General Term. It was deemed to be imprudent and improper for republicans to endorse Judge Clerke ayainst Jonn R, Brady, who was loyal to the country during the war, and whose brother was one of its bravest and most brilliant advocaves, ‘The commit- tee consequentiy came to the conclusion to recoii- Mend the following nominations :— For Supreme Court Jadge— Erastus ©, Benedict, For Judges of the Superior Court—Kreeman J. Fithian, Charles Goepp, and Samuel C. Reed to fi) vacancy. For Common Pleas—BElial BP. Halt. For Marine rl haries T. Polhemus. For Recorde orman B. Eaton. Mr. CHARLES SPENCHR moved the adoption of the report, and said he was extremely gratified (hat these gentiomen had presented them wiih a pure and unadulterated republican ticket, Mr. PATTERSON spoke I favor of Judge Clerke, and said he never knew him to be disioval during ume Ww or to give a disloyal decision, his own ¥ 4 had no chowe between Judge Clerke auc udge Brady.

Thia rised hin a good dea there should be opposition against pure, honest-minded judge as Judge Clerke had proved himself for the past fourteen years surprised. nim more. He therefore hoped that that portion of the report excluding Judge Clerke would not be adopted. Mr. RIDLRY moved the stbstitution of Judge Clerke’s name for that of Mr. Benedict, and spoke in bigh terms of praise of the former gentieman. whom he calied alinost the Nestor of the New Yo benen, Mr. CULVER seconded the nomination of Judge Clerke, Bx-Judge QUACKENKUSH, While highly compli- menting Judge Brady, spoke in most decided terms a Judge Clerke, aud advocated the report of le commitice as it stood. Finally the report of the committes was adopted, and after a committee of five had been appointed to Walt on the nominees and inform them of thelr but that nominations, the Convention adjourne<, subject to the call of the chair. THE WORKINGINEN GO FOR COHEN FOR SUPERVISOR. A most enthusiastic meeting was held at No. 267 Bowery last night in favor of Mr; Jacob Cohen for Supervisor. The attendance was very large, there being present delegations from every trades union and labor guild in the city. The meeting might, in fact, be calied a reunion instead of a union of the trades representatives of al! existing labor organ- izations. Mr. Boasong, chairman of the Arbeiter Union, presided, and addressed the mecting in very @ulogistic terms of the candidate for Supervisor upon whom the workingmen’s associations had fixed as their man to break up the party that nas so long controlled the city government and oppressed the citizens with heavy taxes. That man and that candidate was Mr, Jacob Cohen, who had pledged himself to devote every day, hour and moment of the term of his office to ex, the fraud and corruption that was weighing like an incubus upon the industry and bard earnings of the mechanic, the artisan and the laborer of every grade. Mr. Cohen’s name was received with great ap- plause, evincing the high popularity of the peoples candidate. Other speakers foilowed Mr. Bossong, and at the close of the several addresses tue chairman called for the vote of the meeting, when Mr. Cohen waa nominated with acciamauon. ‘bhroughout the pro- ceed the greatest enthusiasm prevailed in behalf of the candidate, and individually all expressed their determination to yote for the workingmen's friend for Supervisor, Mr. Jacob Cohen. The meet ing then adjourned, MISCELLANEOUS POLITICAL MEETINGS. The General Central Organization: of German Republicans met last night at No. 295 Bowery, Mr/ F. Kapp in the chair, and J. F. C.

Representations have been made by genuemen who claim to be active members of the Willfam J.
