Agrand ratification meeting was held last evening atthe Cooper Insutute, under the auspices of the Republican General Committees, for the purposejof ratifying the State nominations.

Outside a brilliant pyro- technic display was given, while inside a band of Music contributed not a littie to enliven the pro- ceedings. ADDRESS BY DISTRICT ATTORNEY PIERREPONT. Shortly alter eight o’clock District Attorney EDWARDS PIBRREPONT presided, and, having called the meeting to order, delivered the following ad- aress:— : There can be but two political parties im this country. One or the other of these parties will rule. No third party of any considerable importance can arise. When the country was much smaller a third party was very dificult. to organize; now, the vast- ‘ess of the country and the complicated machinery ol @ canvass make a third political power lmpos- gible. Dissatisiaction will exist ard ideas will pre- vail quite out of harmony with either of the great Political divisions; but the expeuse and difficulty of new organization is such as to discourage and utterly defeat any and ail attempts at third party combinations, Kvery true patriot, and every gagacious statesman, and every selfish poiltician will find himseli acting with one of the two great | doce partes which now exist. No third party as ever been formed in this country which did not tend to injure the party of its own Iriends. In 1836 General Harrison and Francis Granger ran against Martin Van Buren and Richard M. Johnson. Hugh L. White, of Tennessee, and John Tyler, of Virginia, ran as third party candidates and defeated their friends and elected their enem: In 1844 Polk and Dallas ran against Clay and Fredngnuysen. Birney caine in 98 a third party man and defeated his friend Clay and elected his especial enemy Polk, In 1848 Taylor and Fillmore ran against General Cass and Butier, of Kentucky. Martin Van Buren and Charles Francis’ Adams ran on a third party ticket, and Van Buren had the plea- sure of seeing his lifelong democratic friend, General Cass, defeated by a whig. (Applause.) In 1852 Pierce uud King ran against General Scott and Graham, John ’. Haieran asa third candidate, and aided in defeating bis friend, General Scott, In 1856 Buchanan and breckinridge ran against Fremont and Dayton. Fillmore and Donaldson ran on the third party ticket aad ruined toeir own friends, In 106) Heil and Lverewt ran as the third party candi- Gates, and thus he.ped to elect LincoIn and Hamiin, who were not their political friends. ‘The last at- tempt to form a third party was thatof Andrew Jonnson’s, but so abortive was the effort that no candidate was put in the field. (Laugn- ter and applause.) We have done with third parties, (Loud cheers.) Two great parties will conunue to represeut the opposing sentiments of the American people. One wiil be on the side of Pprovress, auvauced ideas and active moral seati- Meuls. ‘The vitier conservative, slow, always think- lug tuat te uauon ts going too fast, halting and laeviug tat any soci or moral views not enter- tained by Abrauain and the patriarchs dangerous And unsound. (Applause) Political parties go to decay, ludividuals grow old, but the nation is yet youug; ver youth day remain for a thousand years. Sue is as fresh and as fall of sturdy life and glorious hope aud bounding biood as when the morning Gawneu on tue Fourt of July in 1776. ‘ihe maimed and the Lait and the blind cannot lead tais great young people. Tie parcy of progress will ve the purty of victo: The party of courage will be the ty of power. (Cheers.) For loug years the ¢ ocratic party was tho party of progress and of success; they thought ue nation had grown old with themselves, aod When the war came tiey laited und wavered and ceased to marca to the veat ol tie nation’s heart; they straggled, Jaliered, were routed and never rally again to vicwry. ‘Then parues changed trout. The pro- ressive porcion vi tie democratic pa came out for the war, and the republicans became the party of advanced teas, ip harmony with the age, and the demuciatic leaders became the iourpons Of old Uwe, (Cheers) When the democratic platform of lous declared tie War @ failure and drove so many good men Irvin its ranks, wuen the overwhelming election of Lincoln repudiated tat asseruion, and when Grant proved the war a glorious success, col any but the blind fall to see that the people woud uke tie hero oi that suce the President of the pation? (Applause.) Taey President when he Was forty seven years old, and when he 1s filty-one they Will make him President again. ‘The sunrise to-morrow 18 scarce more certain. Great ditticuities beset every ew aduupistration. In the case of General Grant tue dillcuives were multipiied by the closing events ‘oi the War. When ne came to forin his Vabinet seven ten only could have piace. Seven hundred were @ivappotuted. (Langhter.) The same was more emluenily true of all the other ofices. Of course great apathy and some fauit-finding followed this great disappoutment. But the people are recover- Ang from wat, as tue elections in Onie and Penvsyl- Yuuia show, A tar greaver disappointment and a far greater apathy followed the first élection of Linceln, aud in the autumn which followed his first inauguration he could have received She electorai vote of but yery few States. No man since Generai Jackson has ever nad the Coulidence of the peopie 80 fully as General Grant; you had a test of unut a few days ago, when it was lusinuated that he favored the gold specufators; eveu the World newspaper (not suspected of bein over kind (o General Grant) came out and denounced the Iuul sander. No one betieved a word of 1t—tne peope Kaew that the brave and honest General Whoin they had chosen would colnive at no wrong. General Grant wil grow stronger each year, and When the national conventiou is hed (ony two and a half years distant) he will have no rivat it, ‘Tne younger portion of the democratic party witi then vote for him. (Load cheers.) If You watch the developments in Wasuington this winter you wii see efforts made to seduce General sherinan from tis loyaty to General Viraat ‘Witu the lempung iure Oi & suggested Presidency, Dut it will avail nothing. Sherman is a gallant soldier, an able genera, a man of genius aud of Sense, and he canuot ve led astray. ‘The peopie believe in aud trust the president. fe fairly repre- sents their will, No rival can displace him. ‘He goes about among the peopie and learns their wants, J hope he wil continue to go about. Ib is the only way to learn, A judge who sits only in bank, never mingles with the people and only reads law will Jose wll sense Of jus ice in a@iew years. If at the end Of is presen. term Genera: Grant should teil the peo- ple tout he Was weary 0: ollice and wanted to go out vo bis farm mM Missourt and raise colts the people Woula tel iim that he bad no right to xo—thut he could not go—that his term, like that of General Washington's and General Jackson's, was eat fears. if there isa fll fair vote the candidates you ve selected Will Le chosen tis fail. ..0 better men ever ran Upon a State ucket. Ail are good men. Mr, Greeley, long so eminent and so Wel known by the people, gives great strength to the ucket. If you go into the canvass with Hall the zeai ot last ial you will stand proudly with the great States ot Penn- bylvania and Onto in this victory of a party wherein lone resides the freshness, and vigor, and hope and progress of the nation. (Uheers.) colonel VAN BUREN then read a list of vice presi- dents al secretaries, Which was accepted, after which Mr, Jonn H. White read a series of voluminous resolutions Wiich were unanimously adopted. General HAWLEY, ex-Governor of Connecticut, ‘Was next introduced to the meeting. He com: Menced with & edicgy On General Grant and tue Tepubiican party, avd said the former was doing ail 1m his power to give the country peace. ‘The party had carried Olio and Pennsyivania by the shece force of the respect which the people were com- made him Pelled to accord to General Grant's ad. ministration. (Applause) The speaker then Proceeaed to pitca into the democratic party for the course pursued by them during and gince the war. He showed how the aemocratic Pa y bad pledged themselves to the carrying out of he provisions of the fourteenth amendment to the constitution whtle they’ joined issue with the Tepublican party on two poinis only, nameiy, policy and the debt. In regard to the nigger question the Fepubilean party only desired to return to the orl- ginal policy of the government. The speaker dweit at considerable length on this subject, coutending that the idea that this was solely a white man’s verninent Was spawned by secession. (Applause) black man paid and the black man fought, and Jefferson said that any man thas paid and fought had & black never abused nis reason why he should not be aliowed to vi It ‘Was impoiitic to Keep any class Gegreded” Under all the circumatances trusted that colored people hts they so fully deserved, ‘The speaker next alluded vo the national dept and submitted that it should be paid to the Inst cent in order that the national honor might be redeemed. Senator Fitci, trom Nevada, also addressed the Meoting, reviewing the present aspect of affairs, He denounced the democratic party and contended that ‘she republican parry was the only oug of progress, ate ne . It pointed to revenues increased, property enlarged, aber ennobled in the public service, Lo a peace con- quered and malntayned, aud a flag respected on land .nd sea. He concluded by calltlug on the Empire State to support the preseot eadmulatvation by ite course of action in the coming campaign. General J. L. Swier followed, and touched briefly upon the sabject previously alluded to, ADDILESS BY Mit, E. DELAPIELD SMITH. Mr. E. DSLAPIELD SwrrH next addressed the meet'ng. He said:—One year ago you met in this lia}i as you meet to-night, From early evening to midnight’s solemn hour one name inspwed your songs, your speeches and your cheers, ‘The hopes ot that day were realized. The predictions of that hour were fuililled, A leaf srom the history of Washington was copied to lorm @ page im the biography of Grant, The General becaie the Presi- dent. The echoes of your acciamations hardly yethave died away. On the 4tn of March he heard them renewed at the east front of the Capitol, and they followed his footsteps to the portals of the White House. You promised that the hearts of the peopie should warm the coid hauls of that dreary mansion aud give suushine to its shadows. Were you not sincere? Have you éle- vated your favorite beyond the reach of your sympathies? If you have, it were better for his happiness that he sull wore the graceful plume of a muutary uero and not the thorny cap of a political chieftain, {Applense:) Our fathers reversed the maxims of Kurope, where for centuries the masses of mankind have been reduced to subjects and to serfs and monarchs have reigned by “right divine.” In America the ruler 18 the servant and the people the eovercign. But while we righty glory in the change let us bo ware lest the one be created as a siave aud the other ractise the capricious tyranny which belongs to Kings. Wihule in foreign countries too much ence may be paid to official position in the United States a public man is fortunate who is not dis- paraged and traduced, however upright, laborious or successful. We pour upon the candidate the oll of adulauon, as if to make hotter the fires of reproach surround the ollicial when ouce seated upon the hegat to which our own arms have borne him, ‘Truth and fair play are the voast of one nation aud the glory of ali, Jt is surely just to assyme that wiere aman serves his country in ileld or council, and is advaned to higher oficial trust, he does not lose either the rights of manhood or the sensibilities of human nature, It was to the iiamortal honor of the men of the American Kevoluuon that after marching with their cluef against Briton and tory, they subsequently stood by hima with equal coustancy When the sun of peace had bred in his with which we patuway aswarm of slimy detractors, The pride of a nation is said w be its great men, ‘tue giory of a people is to honor and exaitthem, Who marvels that the name of the great Napoicon is dear to Frauce, frederic to Prussia, Wellington to Britain, Emmet to ireland, Garibaldi to Italy, Washington to the country he wrested from tyranny, or Grant to the nation he saved 1rom destruction? The muse of history willembalm the memory of democrats ana Whigs of other days—the first for their flaelily to Andrew Jacgson, we last for their devouon to Heury Clay. Ihazurd the predicuion that in spite of we howlings and the growliugs of the few the true republicans and the patriotic people of the United States will be equally failuiul to the President of their choice. ‘Yue lessening column of the public debt represents the diminisuing stature of his enemies; while a rebuilued public credit rises, day by day, a monu- ment to nis name. Ali political organizations in the Southern States pretend to honor his fame and to belong to lus party—an unanswerable evidence Of lus popular strength, So at the North. in the midst of the personal disappointment re eral apathy and the local dissensions which charac- terize the first year of a Presidentiai term, nis poliu- cal friends staid erect aud triumphant in the great States of lowa, Pennsylvania and Ohio. For thirty years the flag of the nation has never been so respected abroad, so supreme at home. ‘Tne conflict of international law involved in our claims against England on the one hand, and m our sympathies With Cuba on the other, shall yet, under a wise and masterly diplomacy, directed by him who presided at the conferences of Appomattox, produce indem- nity from the one and freedom to the other. While the uero of our iamplant armies is pro- longing in peace the public services which com- imenced in war, he 1s abused by a paruizan press and Inaligned by disloyal organizations. So we read in Irving’s “Life of Wastington,” “tis military and political character was attacked with equal violence, and 16 was averred tuat he was totally destitute of imerit eluaer as a soldier or astatesman,” Referring to One of the journals 1n Which those assaults appeared the father of ais country said, “1 despise all per- sonal attacks upon myself, but there has never been anactof the government which that paper has not abused.” in spite of a blind opposition the people adhered to Wasnington to tae eud of the eight years Oi His Presidency, and they will stand by Graut to the close of a doubte term. The charges against him are, in substaucc, a8 Lollows:—First—That he has one distane relauye in Mississippi and another in New York, couneeted by ties of marriage, not pf blood, one of Whom is rupning*tor Governor, with a prospect of deieat thbrougl the influence of nis wiministration, and the other of whom tried ms hand in the perlious navigauion of Wall street, Where he and a speculatuog crew tu the same boat Were upset by an adverse wind from Wasutngton. Secondiy—Inat, emulating tie cultured manuers of the eurtier Presidents, When @ pair of partridges are sent to lum by one of bis fellow cluzens a3 u mark of respect and regard he accepts them Like a gentie- Inan, wistead OL radely returniug them, iu imitation of modern fastidiousness, Wit a Taessage branding the giver a8 unworthy of confidence.

Comumiserating his traducers, under his tlag we are still marshailed in the State of New York, and “on this line’? we will fight ib out, Tae key note of bis administration was sounded in that manly inaugural address, amid the answeriug plaudits of lis countrymen, which, declared the everaal unity of the republic and tne equal political rights of tne humpiest cf its ciuzens. It was ancient democratic doctrine, often pro: claimed im Yammany Hall, that the blessings of rep- resentative government, like the dews of heaven, should be equatiy shared by the poor and the rich, the weak and the strong. The still older laws of caivalry commended tac helpless to the magna- Minuty of manhood.

TAMMANY SENATORIAL NOMINATIONS, Proceedings in the Great “Cut and Dried”? Conventions Yesterday—The Beauty of Harmony and Discipline—Tweed, Genct, Creamer, Norton and Bradley, ‘The Tammany Senatorial Conventions were held at noon yesterday, and Lhe usual matter of form was indulged in, and the Senators, as usual, were “much astonisued at the distinguished and unexpected honors thrust upon them,’ ‘The Fourth Senatorial District Convention assem- bled at noon in the court room corner of Pearl and Centre streets, The sidewaiks, and even the stairs leading to the hall, were densely crowded with people apparently deeply interested ia the proceedinga. Pre cisely at twolve o'clock Judge Shandiey, of the Seventh ward, calied the delegates to order, and at his suggestion Judge Hogan, of the First ward, Was called upon to preside. After an expres sion of thanks from the President, Mr. Mi chae Shandiey, of the Seventh ward, and Colonel Michael C. Murphy, of the Fifth, were sclected as secretaries, After calling the roll ex-Congressman Morgan Jones, of the Sixth ward, moved that Wm. M. Tweed, of the Seventh ward, be by acclamation declared the nominee of the Convention tor State Senator, This proposition was the signal for an outburst of cheer- ing, and was‘declared adopted. Marshal Tooker, of the Thirteenth ward, them rose and moved that a committee, formed by the selection of one delegate from each ward represented in the Convention, be appointed for the purpose of waiting on the candl- date and requesting niin to appear in the hall. This was adopted and @ recess of ten minutes ordered, during which time the delegates indulged in a mag- nificent lunch on the floor above, and the appointed commitiee retired, Suoruy after the Marshal and hig associates resurned, accompanied by the object NEW YORK BERALD, THURSDAY, OCTOBER 21, 1869.-TRIPLE SHEET. of thelr search, whose appearaace was greeted with enthuvlasiic cheerng. He was formaily introdaced by the Macshiai to the President, who in a few well chosen words notited hun of bis nomination and offered him his congratulations, Mr. TWEED then came forward on the platform and spoke ag oilows, the greavest attention veing paid to jus remarks:—Mr, President and genticmen of Lie Convention, Iam at present the representative of the Fourth district in tne Senate of tne State of New ‘ork, aud come before you proudly, boldly, with my record, Herel see gathered together men of all stations in the business commuuity—men of professional acquirements, artisans, and Lhose, the source of our nation’s greatness, and her great de- pendence, its honest worktugmen.

(Cheers.) I am not an ingrate. I thank you for my political prosperity. I see before me my old neighbors, my friends, rejoicing in my good for- tune aud gladdened by the success which has crowned my humble efforts, These same I1tends were the friends of my early days and early eiforts— the tied friends of the days of my adver- sity—and here, as the opportunity is afforded me I give expression to my feelings of gratitude and pledge you ali that whatever is at my command is yours, and if | have not what you would | will give ‘ou the next best thing = hearty endeavors to secure it, Again, Mr. P lent and gentlemen, I thank you and trankly say that I am overcome with the emotions which swell my gratefui heart, (Great cncering.) A8 soon as Mr, Tweed concluded the Convention adjourned. The Fifth District Convention met at the Adriatic Hotel, corner of Hudson and barrow streets. James Watson, of the Sixteenth ward, acted us chairman, and Join Houtaling, of the Ninth ward, as secre- tary. On motion of Thomas Levy, of the Fifteenth ward, Mr. Michael Norton was unanimously declared the nominee of the Convention. A com- mittee of ope from each ward in the district was appointed to Wait upon that gentleman and notit him of his nomination, Tne convention then ad- journed sine die, In the sixth Senatorial District Tammany Hall Nominating Convention, held at Humboldt Hall, No. C avenue C, Mr. Thomas J. Creamer was nomi- nated. ‘The Tammany Hall Convention to nominate a can- didate for Stave Senator from the Seventh Senatorial district, met at tie corner of Second avenue and ‘Thirty-second street and nominated Jobn J.

Tne motion Was carried by acclamation, A committee of three Was appoiated to notify Mr. Genet of his nomina- on, When that gentleman presented himself, and in a few remarks returned thanks for the honor con- Terre upon him. The Convention then adjourned sine die, THE TAMMANY JUDiCiARY NOMINATIONS—MR. JAMES C. SPENCER, Among the nominations made by the Tammany Judiciary Convention on Thursday night last appears the name of James ©. Spencer for the coming vacancy on the bench of the Superior Court. The Selection thus made is a most admirable one and } shows that Tammany in its nominations of candi- dates for the judiciary has not been influenced, as charged against it, by @ desire to put none but “political judges” on the bench, Mr. Spencer has never been what 1s known as a politician, but has, from his admission to the bar to this moment, de- voted all lus time and energies to his profes- sion, Mr. Spencer is a native of Frank- lin county, in this State, and the son of the late Judge James B. Spencer, who was a mem- ber of the State and national legislatures, serving his district in either legisiature for several years. Mr. Spencer, the subject of this brief sketch, entered upon the practice of the law, in the year 1350, in the courts of bis native county. In 1854 he removed to Ogdensburg, St. Lawrence county, and there en- tered into partnership with Judge W. C. Brown, forming the firm of Brown & Spencer, which for ten years and upwards occupied a high position and prosecuted a proiitable practice in the courts of northern New York. In 1857 President Buchanan appointed Mr. Spencer United States Attorney for the Northern district_of New York, im which office succeeded ex-Judge Samuel B. Garvin, nt District Attorney in this city. Tn 1864, just after the McClellan Presidential cam- paign, in which Mr. Spencer took a very active part in the interest of ‘Little Mac,” he removed to New York, and at once and with great application and industry entered upon the practice of his profession, attaining great success therein, He soon atver entered into partnership with Mr. Charles A. Rapallo, and at the completion of the HERALD Building aud its occupation by the HrraLp the new firm of Rapallo & Spencer rented spacious oitices therein, where they soon acquired an exten- sive and profitable practice. The firm of Rapatlo & Spencer, though lately dis- solved, has been familiar to the public from the pro- fessional connection it had with some of the gigantic Taliroad causes celebres which occupied so much of the attention of the courts for two years past. Since the dissolution of the partnership Mr. Spencer devoted all his ume and attention and professional taients to his individual business and his own benefit, but he has lately associated with him, to meet the requirements of a rapidly increasing Leg tice, ex-Judge Flanders, 0 nklin county, and Mr. James B, Mecealf, one of tus former partners. Mr. Spencer, besides his high qualifications for the ofice for which he has been nominated, has many claims upon the democracy of the city and State, and it is pleasing to see in this instance that political leaders are not always ungrateful, but will sometimes recognize and reward the talents and qualities which, from time to time, shed a lustre upon the Cause and principles they represent. DEMOCRATIC UNION SENATORIAL NOMINATIONS, In pursuance of the call ot the Democratic Union General Committee (Smith Ely branch) Senatorial nomiuating conventions were held in the several Senatorial districts last evening, witn the following result:— Fourth District—James Bagley.

Vions except one, and thatone he could have had, but as 8 man of honor be would not take, and could easily be elected without it. He further stated that when he lirst entered tite contest he was warned by lus friends that he (Mr. Young) not being a man of wealth It would be impoasivie for him co succeed, but he would say this, that one man stepped for- ward and pledged both his miuence 1 money, and that Iriend waa the workingmen's candidace, dJacov Cohen.

The meeting was called to order by John Foley, the chairman, and the minutes of the last ae were read and approved. Upon taking the chair Mr. Foley made a brief address, in which he earnestly counselled the members to continue their efforts to secure additional means of transporuon and public travel for the 100,000 people living in the vicinity of the Nineteenth ward.

MAYOR HALL ON HORACE GREELEY. Horace Greeley in the editorial columns of the Tribune having published yesterday a ferocious letter addressed “To Samuel J. Tilden, Chairman of the Democratic State Committee,” on democratic election frauds in this city, and having inciudea Mayor Hall in his generat indictment against the democratic leaders, the Mayor bas sent us the fol- Jowing as his reply: — To THe EDITOR OF THE HeRALD:— In a letter signed by Horace Greeley, addressed to 8. J, Tilden, and publishea editorially in the Tribune, I find the following extract;— On the principle that “the receiver is as bad as the thief,” you are as deeply implicated in theta to-day as though your ame were Tweed, O'Brien, or Oakey Hall. By the word “them” 1s meant grammatically “elec- tion frauds.” Will any one blame me if I “steal”? a moment from @ “busy lire” and indulge in some “recollections,” and perbaps & personality or two upon this 7ridune gage ? When Horace and I were whigs together, years ago, at caucuses held “to raise money’—generally heid as they should be at the houses of rich men, aud assisted (as they always ought to be, and to Hor- ace’s great delight) by nice ‘suppers—{ have heard rougher suggestions about the use of that money from this cleanly shaved Pharisee of @ politician (H. G.) than L ever heard at any demo- cratic caucus, Greeley would call the use of it now and then “pipe-laying.”? But of late years | note that he calls it, whenever urging radicals towards work, ‘‘scruunizing the registry.” His ally, Theodore Alien, is aimoxt nightly meeting with Greeley, and the “Comptrol- ler’s’’ friends inay be relied upon to fully interpret Greeley’s new phrase. When interpreted it will bear Greeley’s repeating. It 1s really amusing for some of Greeley’s tormer Whig audiences (some now republicans and others democrats) to observe reflected in the Zribune the pious rolling of his eyes over the editorial ink- stand whenever he writes about the mis- deeds of political adversaries touching pull appliances; for they remember Greeley’s former expressions which proved the similarity between railroad building and _electioneering. “Some men," quoth Horace, “survey the routes, others do the grading; some bury tes or clamp rails; @ few run the locomotive aiterwards; but the people who aig the ditcnes and get biackeued at the outset are not remembered,.”” »,"? quoth liorace, “we leaders Who raise the capital for the ditch dig- gers don’t need to know what Kind of soil they put their picks 1nto whenever we finally ride within the cars into the successful depot.” From my knowleage of Horace Greeley (and I have Atud.ed him for years as Dr. Carnochan would siudy @ case of morbid anatomy) 1 share the belief of thou- sands in his own party that if be wanted to help a railroad grant at Albany, to enjoy the interest of an Irish fund well invested, to share the profits ofa Congressional land grant, or to elect iumself to a “paying” office (like Comptroller), there 18 no rough election chance he wouldn’t take if he thought his ditch digging could be covered up by the successfui running of tue cars. The Dy pocriay of this man Greeley approaches sub- limtty, The late charcoal sketcher Neat (would that he had lived to sketch H. G.’s) wrote a clever essay on the sublimity of impudence. ‘he editor of the 7ribune tully answers tie descriptions. Some years ago | furnished to all the libraries 01 the worid a pamphlet calied “Horace Greeley Devently Dis- sected,” and in its pages 1 showed low one vy one his ‘Tom Pinch adorers fell away from their veck- sniff, and students of morbid anatomy who wish 10 consult the pamphlet in any of the libraries wii dnd how the sublimicy of H. G.’s hypocrisy and impu- dence Was unmistakably demonstrated, it 1s possible that his Vanity so leats him to believe in hunseif that be 13 convinced he possesses the bower to srive himself daily, and tans to realize the Byronic idea of @ “deiormed wansiormed.” A man Who so supremely believes im huuseit as Greeley does cannot very well believe in any oiler man nor accept any allen criticism. What, tuerefore, you wil ask, 13 the use of auswermg H. @ Why simply to expose him. The prophe' was, years ago, tried for he mere odject oF hus 1mpostures. You must keep on arraigning (is “profiu’-seeking pliiogopher at the bar of ublic opinion for the purpose of saving people xposing rom accepting ms self-delusions.

Theu the spinster quitted the charmed circle and the looking giass to throw an old shoe at Miss Couragevusness, precisely as H. G. quits his intmediate circle of toadies to throw one of his old boots at any one ee ever dared to expose hin. And when aman whoisan ‘old charlatan” undertakes to put hma- seif as Horace Greeley does in hts recent prospectus of bis ‘busy life’ book that fils a une column of leaded type it is the duty of everybody to cast hs pebble at the philosopher's glass house. I now end this epistie by challenging Horace Greeley, as cin- didate for Comptroller, to meet me as a political stumper next week in any rura! portion of the state he may elect and discuss for three hours on a sule the issues of the day, and 1 will promise to please the radicals who might attend even more than 1 would lope to gratify tue democracy.

The case was revicwed in the HERALD of Monday and the principal facts connected with it presented, #0 that recapitulation Is unnecessary. Considerable difficulty was expe- rienced in procuring an unprejudiced jury, some having previously formed opinions concerning the case, and others having conscienuous scruples against finding a verdict Where tus penalty was death, Finally the panel was tilicd and the case proceeded. District Attorney Downing opened for the peopie. The first witness called tor tue prosecution Was Dr. Dembler, of Hunter’s Point, He said he knew Cane; he attended him on the night of the 25ta of October; he had @ pistol shot wound about an iach below Wwe left shoulder blade; the ball passed through the seventh rib and lodged in Wie ninth vertebra: his injuries were suilicieat to cause death; L recognize the bullet which L took from the wound; | aiso recoguize the pistol.

Anthon, 3 PERE HYACINTHE. Movements of the Great Carmelite Monk Yesterday---He is Photographed--- Interview of a Canadian Priest With the Pere---Sectarian Views of the Monk's Position. Father Hyacinthe yesterday managed to escape the importunities ofthe curious and the imperti- nence of the Bohemian tribe by leaving the hotel at anearly hour of the morning and taking a walk m company with his yoang interpreter. About noon he proceeded to Brady's gallery, whore he had a fine imperial photograph taken. When the pic- ture was being taken he was dressed in a plam suit of black, and held in his hand the “Breviary,” which seems to be his vade mecum wherever he goes, The Boston delegation did not call upon him during the day, probably being aware of his ab- sence from the hovel. After having been shown the proof of the photo- graph, with which he expressed himself satisfied, he proceeded to Brooklyn, where he remained with gentleman whom ne had formerly known in Paris, and returned to the hotel at four o'clock, Several cards were on his table, but he did not deign to answer any one of them until lis eyé had rested on a smail slip of crumpled paper on which 4 name was hastily scrawled. He picked if up, and, on reading the superscription, ordered the geutle- man who had sent it ep to be shown to his room ab once, Who this bonored individual was the good Father refused to make known, but it was ascertained that he was @ priest who had come all the way from Mon- treal expressly to see Father Hyacinthe. He remained closeted in the room with the monk for over an hour, but although many stories were afloat in tne hotel as to what the object of his visit was, nothing definite was learned on the subject. Some affected to believe that the visitor came to tell the Carmelite that the French priests in Canada ap- proved of his course and would stand by bim, while Others as stoutly asserted that he must have come as an exnorter to deter Father Hyaciathe from the way he bad laid down for his iature conduct and action. In the afternoon one of the Boston delegation hat a long interview with him, which lasted almost two hours, What was really said at the meeting of tne clergymen is @ mystery, although Fatier [lyacinthe, whue reiusing to give uny information on the sub- ject of its details, gave lus friends to unslerstand that he declined ali mvitations of a public recepuion ol any Kind, He paid a visit to Mr. Darling, one of the proprie- tors of the Fifth Avenue Hotel, at his residence in Twenty-third street, im the evening, and retired about ten o'clock. THE INDIFFERENCE OF THE CATHOLICS REGARD TS THE PERE. The utter indifference of the Catholics to the reverend gentieman’s presence in the city {8 one of the most remarkable features of bis visit. It has become quite a subject of remark among the guests and tne hundreds who make it @ point to drop into the vestibule of the hotel evezy evening with the hope of catching a glimpse of the disunguished clergyman. 1t Was generally supposed when the inteligence of his departure for this coui- uy was announced that his arrival here would create considerable of a stir among them; put 80 far there has been no visible sign that they care a pin’s point about him or his movements one way or the other. Even the priests, who, people believed, would give their congrega- tions @ piece of their mind on the subject of the stranger at some one of the daily morning services, have, with one or two cxceptions, manifested no concern in the matter, and are apparently as mdif- ferent io Father Hyacinthe’s ‘position’? as thoagh tuere were bo such person in existence, WHAT A CATHOLIC PRIEST THINKS OF HIM.
