WASHINGTON, Oct. 28, 1869, Arrival of the New Secretary of War. jeneral Belknap, the new Secretary of War, rived here this eventng, and for the present is pping with Colonel Dayton, of General Sner- © an’sstaf. General Beiknap left Keokuk on last eaday evening, proceeding to Fort Wayne, through ») way of Pittsburg and Harrisburg to this city. At wtrisburg the new Secretary wm by J.

Low, of alttornia, the new Minister of the United States to @ ancient empire of China, promises an early de- wture of arepresentative of this government to acceed Mr. Browne. Mr. Low expects to have ap terview with the Secretary of State to-morrow, ad will then probably receive some intimation as : *)the wishes and views of the government. Mr. ow left San Francisco on October 18, and en route ere passed several days at Chicago and columbus, Ohlo, The appointment of Mr. Low was 1ade entirely without that gentieman’s knowledge; a fact, up to this time he has never met | resident Grant at all, The President, it appears, ‘as anxious to make the appointment of a suitable nteman from California, He had four names of rominent gentiemen of that State and handed the it to General Sherman, who had spent some time California before the war, and was, therefore, ell acquainted with the merits of the aiferent rsons noted down. In handing the list to General erman the President requested him to arrauge names 1 the order of ing opinion of their fitness r the position, General Sherman placed the name Mr. Low a¢ the head of the list. General Sher- n then telegraphed to General Thomas, requesting to mention the subject to Mr Low atid to ly im cipher. After considering the matter consultation with his friends, Mr. Low ermined to accept, and General Thomas replied to General Sherman, whereupon the Presi t made the appointment. Mr. Low 1s a native of ine and removed to California during the early vs and became a merchant, In 1861 he was cled a member of Congress. Upon returning to fornia, in 1863, he was appointed Collector of the 30,001 San Francisco and very soon after elected “ernor of the State. Since the expiration of his guvernatorial term he has been living in private life, + %{ vna unui the offer of his late appointment had deter- | suned to accept no more public offices. Mr. Low ts | atieman of about forty years of age, of decidedly ; jing manners and a face indicating ability ana wrous feeling. He has a wife and child and will (| (Me his family with him, In conversation Mr. Low Fpreases himself thoroughly informed upon American policy towaras China, and nies @ resolution to adlere to and ' ‘vance the American doctrine. Before going to | Yin, if satisfactory to the State Department, he } pass the winter, during which time access to Jelestial capital is entirely suspended, tn visit- s the treaty ports of China, and advise himself roughly of the condition and labor of the various | wsulart offices of the United States, Nothing has jot been decided whether Mr. Low will go by way ai Europe and consult with Mr. Burlingame before jptoceeding to China, | Gur Dificulties with Paraguay—Washbdurn’s Policy Not Sustained by the Administra. tion—Probable Reappointment of General McMahon. General McMahon, late United States Minister to aguay, had a protracted interview to-day with etary Fish, during which he gave an account of condition of affairs in Paraguay and of the war tween that country and Brazil. With the excep- mn of the one-sided and contradictory reports ich have appeared in the newspapers from time time, the government has had little, if any, infor- ation concerning the true state of affairs in Para- ay, or of the progress of the war between pez and the coalition of which Brazil ia the jad; The information supplied by General Mc- wahon may, therefore, be said to be the first the government has had since the return of his prede- cessor, Mr, Washburn. The circumstances under whieh Washburn left Paraguay rendered tt neces- sary that his statement shodld be received with gome grains of allowance, especially what he said about Lopez, The dificulties thrown in the way of communication with Minister McMahon by the Bra- uilian authorities prevented the present Secretary of State from receiving regular despatches; nt now that the action of General McMahon fas been made known to the State Depart- ment it 1s thoroughly approved. Among the Qest acts of E. B. Washburne, when he became Secretary of State, was the recall of General MoMahon and the consequent suspension of dipio- ‘Tatio relations with Paraguay. In ‘thie proceeding there is reason to believe that Washburne was ‘ciuared solely by motives of revenge on account of the alleged conduct of Lopez towards his bro- ther, C. A. Washburne. It appears that E. B. not ‘nly wanted to punish Lopez and the Paraguayans, ‘bat also Admiral Davis, When Washourne was Anstaliea in the State Department he sent for Ad- Mirai Porter, and insisted that the Secretary of the \ | Bavy should order Admiral Davis home and court Martial bim on the strength of ©, A, Wash- Durne’s statements. Tho Navy Department, how- ‘ever, was thoroughly posted as to the con- duct of Admiral Davis, and refused to do anything of the kind, There are good reasons for stating that the State Department, under its present head, docs not share the views of Mr. E. B. Washburne and his brother concerning the propri- ety of suspending diplomatic relattons with Para- guay, To refuse to send a Minister to the latter pines would be to cater to the wishes and preju- dices of Brazil, not to speak of abandoning American tuteresta, present and prospective, in Paraguay. itis probable that the administration will pursue the policy hitherto adopted by the government of encouraging the South American republics instead of taking sides with monarchical governments axainst them, and renew diplomatic relations with Paraguay.

Report of the Department of Agriculture— Favorable Statement of the Crops. The Department of Agriculture has just issued a preliminary report of the condition of the crops. It saysi— ‘The great agricultural lesson of the season incni- cates the necessity of draining and thorough culture. it is not an exaggeration to estimate the reduction this season from the alternate drowning and acorci- tng of farm crops at $200,000,000, The general appre- hension of @ serious failure in the corn crop ot the more Northern States has been materially moditied by the sunny weather in September and exemption from killing frosts to October 1. Karly irosts in some portions of the Eastern and Middle Scates checked ripening and left the frosted Heid in an immature and damaged condition. But the injury is comparativeiy sight in extent and limited in area, as the whole crop has had an unusually favorable maturing sea- son, resulting in a very gratt(ying ameltoration of the prospects for a supply of this important staple. Yet a full crop, which should pot be jess than 1,150,000,000 bushels, can by no means be expected. When the harvest is over and the local estimates are compieted the gregate will attest a moderate yield, amply sufiicient for all (he wants of the country. flad the spring wheat been equal to the winter the whole crop would be enormous. Throughout the South the yield ts unusually large and the quality excelient. Yexas and Misissippt are somewhut less conspicuous sharers in this improvement than other States tn that section. Im lijinow the counties reporting an increase equivalent vo ten per cent or more are almost without exception in the southern part of the State below the fortieth paraliei—the winter wheat region. ‘Toose claiming eight-tenths of a crop or less are, with one or two exceptions, spring wheat counties. Indiana grows @ larger proportion of winter Wheat, and consequentiy this year produced a much better average yield than Lilinois, Many of the counties return high figures. The area of cotton cultivation was increased last spring fully sixteen per cent. More than 1,000,000 acres were added to the cultivated area, Ferulizers were liberally used in the Atiantic States and tin- proved implements were to some extent employed. Rarely has there been @ better season for oats than the present, very few of the States returning a jess increase than ten per cent, aud some giving thirty or thirty-five per cent, . The season has been too dry for either kind of otatoes in the South aud on the Atlantic coast to New York. New England generally haa a good crop, and (ts unusually good in the West with the excep: tion of Minnesots. ‘I'he product of aweet potatoes is manifestly increased. A siight increase is reported in the aggregate numbers of lattening cattie as well a8 ta their average condition. Some of the States faul to maintain a full average, among which are New York, New Jersey, Kentucky and Miinoiw, The Cotton Crop, The Department of Agriculture reports that the state of the cotton crop attests an ample suiiciency for all the wants of (he country; that the conditional estimate of 2,750,000 bales can be exceeded, Customs Receipts.

Avend & Rrothers vs. Edward J. Gay, Error to the District Court of Lonisiana~Sieamer Carroll vs. John Green, Appeal from Mary. land Circuit C art. WASHINGTON, Oct. 28, 1869. No. 176~Avend & Brothers, Plaintigs in Error, vs. Edward J. Gay, in Error (o the Cireutt Court for the District of Lovisiana,—The piaintife in error were merchants in New Orleans and factors of Austin & Adams, sugar planters in the parish of Iberville, La., and made advances, as claimed, to those parties of about $3,500 to enable them to raise the crop of 1865-66, for which they set up in their petition a pri- vilege on the crop of 1866, The crop for that year was thirty acres of cane, aud being unable to pay their debt to plaintiffs they sold to them this sugar cane, which was in turn sold by the plaintiffs to oue Cole for $1,000 cash and $2,560 payable when Cole took ossession of the crop. Subsequently, and betore le took possession, the defendant in error, Gay, issued executory process against the land of Adams & Austin, where the cave was still lying iu winrow, ‘and seized both the land and the cane. Gay refus- ing to release the cane upon notice, the piaintits were obliged to rescind their contract with Cole, and brought these proceedings to recover she value of the cane from Gay. The court below held that the plaintiffs’ claims of ownersiup und privilege were iconsistent in that if they were the owners of the cane, then the privilege of the crop did not exist; und it was determined that they were the agents of the parties raising the cane and acted as such in the transacuions set forth, and as such agents could not be regarded as privileged creditors, who were entitled to prevent the saie of the property by other creators. Writ of error was taken, the plain- Ults in error contending that under the Louisiana code, having made tie advances claimed, which were used for supplies, &c., for the plantation, they had a privilege on tie last crop and the crop in the ground, Which entitled them to be preferred beiore other ‘creditors, even those holding mortgages. Even though the advances mae were in money aud noi in the form of suppiies, still the privilege on the cane existed, ior It was delivered to the plaintiifs, ‘the argument of the defendant in error muaintaiued the view taken by the court below, and contended that m any case there was uo such delivery of the cane to the plaints m error as gave tiem title or claim. Thomas J. Durant for plainuts in error, Louis Jouin for defendant, Steamer Carrol, Baltimore and Ohio Railroad Company, chumants, vs. John Green,—Appeal Sroin the Circuit gourt Jor (ne Disivict af Maryland. —This is a case of collision between the Carroli, bound up, aad the schooner Loon, vound down the Chesapeake Bay, near Point No Point, ou the uight of tue 22d of December, 1863. ‘The schooner was seventy-five tons burden, and the Carroll a iarge steamer plying between ) York and Balumore. The course ot the schooner was south by east, with a fau breeze Jrom the northwest, and ler speed was about seven milea an hour. Her lights were properly suspended. The night was bright star light, aud the steamer was seen from the schooner wien half a mile dis- tant, approaching her. 1 schooner held her course steadily uutth tue steamer, when 300 yaras distant, suddenly shifted her helm, changed her course to the eastward and came directly down upon the schooner. When it was koown ou the schooner that a collision was ineyita- ble sue starboarded her helm so as to throw her head eastward, and thus avoid receiving the biow amidships, by receiving forward of the iore- mast, on the starboard side, 10 au oblique direction. ‘The blow cut nearly through the schooner down to her garboard streak, and she soon iilled up and suuk. Such was the Claim of the libel. The answer states that as soon asthe schooner was seen {roi the steamer the belm of the steamer was put to port, and so would have passed the schooner had she Kept,ber course: but that, instead of keeping her course, the schooner’s helm eof starboarded, she was thrown across the bow of the steamer. On this state of facts the District Court veiow decreed in favor of the libeilant, Green, and against the Baltimore and Unio Kauroad Company, for $5,907, with interest. On appeal to the Circuit Court the decree was affirmed, and the cause then came here, the appellant msistitig that the steamer complied with the law goveruing the movements of vessels in danger of collision, by portiug her heim sufficientiv to have i the schooner had she kept on her course; also that when the collision became imminent the steamer siackened ber speed and reversed her engines, a8 required by the rales of navigation. {[t is further claimed that in disre- garding We iaw requiring her to keep her course the schooner became responsible for the collision. The appellee submits on this point that although it was the duty, by law, of the schooner to keep her course under ordinary circumstances, she was justified in changing it by special circ ances, rendering & departure necessary to avoid the danger when it became imminent. It is claimed that the departure was justified by the article which makes any neglect of any precaation required by the ordinary practice of seamen an mexcusable fault. It is insisted that the steamer had full time aud opportunity to avoid collision, and her neglect to do #0 by Keeping out of the tray of the schooner Was the sole cause of the disaster. “CLUSTERING CURLS. Capillary Excitement=Only a Hair. A woman named Louisa Keyser, @ batrdresser, residing at 24 Attorney street, and whose place of business isin Division street, was brought before Juage Dowling yesterday morning, charged with re- ceiving $1,100 worth of human hair, well knowing it to be stolen, This hair was stolen from the store of Augusta W. Eichien, Boston, Mass., by @ man named John R, Smith, in September last. During his con- finement in the Boston prison he made confes- sion as to where he had placed this hair, and he’ gave an addrese in New York, For the purpose of ascertaining whether Smith's statement was correct detective Stone, of the Boston constabulary, was detailed to New York to make inquiries, Sione saw Captain Jour- dan, of the Sixth ward, respecting it, who detailed detective Wooldridge to assist Stone. They went to the address given by the latter, but no traces of him were found, They, however, obtained information sufficient to visit the business premises of Keyser, in Division street, and there the answers of tly woman aroused suspicion in the mind of Woolaridge, and he felt confident that he was on the right track, The woman was Watched, and was seen to leave the house and proceed to her mother’s, 24 Attorney street, On her return to Division street, after a parley with Wooldridge, she delivered up the hair and Was arrested. In default of $2,500 bail Judge Dowling committed her to answer, OBITUARY. Paul Spofford.

DEMOCRATIC 88 MEETING IN BROOKLYN. A democratic mass mecting was heid last evening at the Brooklyn Academy of Music to ratify the State, county, Senatorial, judiciary, city and Assem- bly nominations. There was a large and respectanle attendance, and throughout considerable enthusiasm was manifested. The stage was densely crowded with many of the great political guns of Kings county, The Academy was tastefully decorated with flags and banners, and the band contriputed largely to enliven the proceedings, At eight o'clock the meeting was called to order by Mr. James P. Craig, who uomtuated General Slocum for chairman. General Slocum on being introduced to the chair was received with loud applause, fle said that they had assembled to ratify the nomination of the State and local conventions. ‘The democratic party had presented four State officers, and they were the names of gentlemen who were elected by them two years ago. They were the names of the men who Were mied and faithful, and ut the time these gentle- men assumed the duties of the office to which they were elected it was universally admitted, even by republicans, that they sustained those offices without bringing discredit or disgrace upon the State, Their repubiican pre- decessors were brought before a republican Senate elected by a republican Assembly for thetr miscon- duct, No word of complaint was uttered agains’ our candidates. The democratic party had there- fore resolved to again present their names to the people. After commending the nomination for the judgeship of the Court of Appeals he then referred to the tocal nominations. So popular were these nom- inations that it was dificult for the republican party to prevent their party endorsing the dem- ocratic nominations by placing ther candi- dates on the republican ticket, There was an objection to Mr. Cunningham's nomination because he had not received acoliege education; but althougn it had not been nis good fortune to be tus edugated, it must not be forgotten that he had spent the greater part of his life in the protection of the lives and property of those whose suffrage he asked for, He had not enjoyed that education which was at the command of the wealthy; he would give the result of his experience and the fruit of his toils in protecting the property of his constituents. General Slocum concluded by stating that it would give him great pleasure to mtroduce the distinguished stran- gers who were on the stage, and who would take part in the proceedings. ‘The following resolutions wer@ghen put and anani- mously adopted;— Resolved, That the democracy of Kings county, in mass meeting assembled, do hereby cordially approve of the Platform adopted by the representatives of our party assew- ed at Syracuse on the 22d of September last, Resolved, Thnt we warmly approve and cordially endorse the nominations by the Syracuse Convention, and hold that fu renominating the State officials who have been tried and found honest and faithful the democratic party entitles itself to the approval of all who take an honest pride in the good administration of our State government. Resolved, That in the nomination of John A. Lott for Judge of the Court of Appeals the democracy have presented a candidate whore election will secure to the State the ser, ice of aman who hak given a long life to the public service and maintained personal reputation unsullied: aa able jurist and an upright judge; a man whose ollicini record ih this county entitles uli to ihe unanimous support of the people hereof. Resolved, That in the nomination of the city, county, Sen. atorial and’ Assembly candidates the democracy present men of upright character and large experience in public affairs, and that thelr koflicla! acta heretofore entitle them to the Uuyited support and confidence of our citizens, ‘Mr. &. 8. Cox then delivered a lengthened address, in the course of which he recapitulated the ideas to which he gave expression the previous evening at Tammany Hall. Mr. Cox was repeatedly interrupted with applause. The CHAIRMAN then introduced the Mayor of New York, who was cordially received. General Carey was also mentioned as one of the speakers. Mayor Hatt, on coming forward, was loudly cheered, He said;—If General Carey were in the house I should not stand here to insist upon your hearing me, The moment he arrives 1 will give place tohim. You know itis an old proverb that a short horse Is soonest curried. I suppose you can apply it in this way—that a short mare (or a Mayor) who shali make a short speech will curry favor with his audience. (Applause and laughter.) The mo-+ ment Carey arrives I will give you permission to say to me, in the language of Shakspeare, “Out, brief candle.” (Laughter.) I am indeed delighted to have the honor of standing before the Brooklyn democracy. (Applause.) [ told the New York de- mocracy last night that I should be here to-night, and they bade me pring to you good speed for next Tuesday. Although I esteem it a3 an honor to be Mayor of the city of New York, T say. with all frankness and sincerity, that great as has been the prosperity of that city, that of Brook- lyn and ite future is beyond a parallel in the world. (Applause.) It is a great municipality; and certainly so far as politics go tt is a great metropolitan muni- cipality. The two cities are Siamese twins, with one heart—althougn the twins have, I believe, two hearts—one democratic heart that will beat proudly on Tuesday next. I dare not count your majority— you can count it for yourself; but, as f said at Tammany Hall last evening, over the ey fires of icalism next Tuesday the New York democracy would sing the old tune, number 60,000, (Cheers.) And you have to see to It on to-morrow and on urday that you bring out your vote. Prown down the idea that the radicals characterized the democratic party as fraudulent. | said to a radical last night, Is that procession which passed Tammany Hall while the orations were being delivered—is that procession, are those men, @ sham?’ (Appiause.) Are those automata, those men who are walking up and down? Are those ghittering lanterns fictions 7? (Applause. ) Kennedy's census had returned 20,000 more voters in the city of New York than were registered last year for the great Presidential contest. And they say you have been so selfish as to appropriate the canvassers to yourselves. J am glad you did i (Applause.J 1 believe in fighting this radical party with their own weapons, he time was ‘when In the city of Brooklyn, as in the city of New York, you went to the polls as other people and elected your canvassers and inspectors, aud they took them away trom you, hoping to have the choice to themselves, and, I believe, for one or two years they had it. I feel would not be doing my duty if { did not ask you, nay warn you tosee to it shat on Friday and Saturday and Tuesday the democracy of Brooklyn evlioes the tones of the democracy of New York, for we stand together as we stood last year, rolling up wagnifl- cent majorities and cheering the raral districts of the State. The coming election ts of great national importance in a State aspect and in this municipal aspect. And before I conclude | shall show you how very important it is to the cities of New York and Brooklya that we should carry this election and carry it by a decided majority. (Applause.) The tdea of men who are uo to their knees in the corruption of Washington—men who are up to their elbows in the corruptions of Wall street— men who have pianted the wires of the magnetic telegraph leadiag from the Union League Club House to Wall street—talking about frand in the municipal government of New York and Brooklyn | Cheers.) It 1s she cry of the wolf to the lamu when he te eating his morning meal, Mr. Dawes, of Mas- sachusetts, night before last lifted the veil from the radical horse when he — spoke of the election frauds im Washington. He was reading betore @ purely literary and social and scientific association, Perhaps he did not think that it would be reported and published; but these gentiemen on my right and left are the vigilant sen- tinels of public opinion and pubic truth, aud they were there to hear itm, And he sali that investi- gation in the election frauds had become a mere matter of party rancor and party power and was no longer of judicial value. You saw ayear ago that the impeachment of Andrew Jolnson—nistorically I am wrong; I said the impeachment of Andy Jobnson—the lamented Fessenden and others have wiped that phrase from the book of his- tory. ould, therefore, say “the foiled impeach- ment of Andy Johnson.” (Loud and Protonged cheer- ings.) The turning out a few years ago Willa B. Dodge—the pious Jack Horner—of New York, bf boy Ripe BO see hak i ‘wrong—' ning Brooksjby Dodge two ‘was an indication of this; aad you will see in 0 next £ predict (and you nave gota man of military discipime there to watch them— jeneral Slocum) they will endeavor to turn out—as ir, Dawes said, the matter jwas degenerating into by party rancor—enough men to secure a two-thirds vote in the Lower House, These are the men who, on the ouiset of this great election, aro crying out “fraud” to you. | : It is tha old story of the wolf t on him the akin of an animai that he thinks will deceive others about him. (Loud cheers.) 2 will tell you why it is of national importance wo get the great State of New York fo feel tt to be its duty. General Grant came into office. Generai Grant came into office, and he cried for peace. New York has not given him aoy How can Gen- eral Grant have peace, and give eto his coun- try, when he cannot give peace to the own party? How can he expect the country to have aay peace, when be cannot keep ace in house- hold? “It was. said by? a ver ‘Prat and a man “that 1! ie could very wise rule fis household hé could tule a nation. (Loud cheers.) What is the converse of the proposition that if he cannot rule his household he cannot rule a nation, and it applies tn this case. Grant came into olice, and said in his lewter of acceptance, “I have ho policy but the people's.” In the comedy of “Caste,”’ which L believe has been acted upon these boards, when they, speaking of the Eccles family, “Why, there’s no such thing as Eccies,’’ so with Gen- eral Grant, there is no people but tn tical people, Just a8 the Margnis said in “Caste,” “Eccles were things whea compared with him. When Grant came imto office he found the States divided updn the ‘question of protection and the negroes simmering upon the top of te cnaldron of pottical jobbery of the time, so he thought he would have no policy. The policy is, a great deal of it, yours, And then he ingeniously p ciaims that he’ has no policy. He ts the first President of the United States withont any policy, Twill nov go further back than to old Monroe, and | see some of the Monroe boys on the stage, and the good feel- tng of the times in which they live bias set the seal of placidity on their brow, He was foliowed by Adamik, whose policy was to develop the industrial resources of the nation; by Jackson, who nobly stood between the rights of capita! and labor; by Van Buren, who protected the honor of the nation; by Harrison and by ‘Tyler, they by Polk; by Pierce, who had the didicult task of adjusting the conflict between federal rights and State rights; Buchanan succeeded to the same policy, and was followed by Lincoln, who had four policies. (Laughter.) War for the Union, without any respect to slavery; next, antt-slavery, without respect to the Union; next, federal nghts, without respect to State rights, aud he died just a8 he had announced a po icy for State rights, without respect to federal rights. Andrew Johnson is my policy—(cheers)—and it is a policy that needed only to be submitted and it would be understood, Grant, surrounded by bis military paraphernalia, said he wad no policy but the People’s, and it would be the people who would judge of that policy, Well, he had one poitcy, and it Seemed Lo be the brother-in-law policy—(laughter and cheers)—and it woud be continued until some - thing better turned up, (Laughter.) My ¢ ence a8 & lawyer has taught me to hay xi little as possible to do with your brother: In-law. (Chi ) From the experience of Grant vbis brother-m-law policy must be regarded as a failure. (Cheers.) With regard to the gold tran: tions the Grand Jary were investigating the matter, ang J understand they tad Jay Gould on the stand for four hours. (Laughter.) [understand that they are going to inquire how Grant and his brother-in- law quarrejed with their General Bread-Butter- fleld. (Loud Janghter.( When Grant wrote his celebrated letter ne did not send it to Mr. Bennett, of the New York Henrar or to Mr, Chamberlain, of the World; to ™ Jones, of the Zines, nor even to Mr. Horace Greeley, of the ZwWene, but he sent it to a very excellent mau—a man’ who knows not only how to Keep books, but who has iso kept the Ledger better than any man kept it before— a man whom 1 respeci—Mr, Bonner—General Granv’s horse friend, Bonner. (Laughter.) In that secter there was a postseript which said, “I have written this without exercising my judgment, and | submit it fo yours.” Aman who does not exercise bis judg- meat in this will not exercise lus judgment on the atfairs of his own Presidency. (Clicers.) ‘The Prest- dent must, therefore, be either very cunning or very stupid. His friends say that he ts not stupid, and on this hypothesis he must be something else, (Cheers and laughter.) When travelling in the country he got into conversation with @ man with whom he talked freely because he was aan of no character, He not only talked with Fisk, Jr., but wih fiscal ingenuity, (oud laughter.) Now [ think where there is smoke there is fire. There was a marrage of Miss Peunsylvaman avenue to an old fellow with money bags in Wall street. (Laughter.) That marriage was consummated in the old fashioned way, with the finest ring that ever was made. (Cheers and laughter.) The adminis- tration brougat its influence to ‘bear’ the war! Now, all badinage concerning these events asic, does not this facts stare you in the face as you loox upon this national disgrace—you im the city of Brooklyn, and {, from New York—we who are jeered at day aiter day by that most wonderful hypoertce of all history, Horace Grecloy, as frauda- Jent corruptionists—ta 1t not wonderful, tor the tirst time in the history of the country, such a national fraud and corraption, even the ramor of it, [ say, while it stares you in the face, that they will have the face to Ning such charges at us? At all events, the fact stares us In the tace that the goveru- ment had itin their power, under the administra- ton of General Grant, to open the doors of the Trea- sury to the “bulls” with their horns and the “bears”? with their paws and manipulate the gold market of the country, This matter deeply concerns the laborer# of the land. As Mr. Cox has demonstrated, the whole industrial resources of the couniry are ai the feet of the Treasury. Never before in te history of the country was there a President without a policy, and never before in the Justory of the Treasury was it known taut its agents could Interfere with the fiscal affairs of the country. (Appiause.) And [don’t care whether this adwinis- tration “beared”’ or sold gold —whether it forced the price down or not—the administration had tue ability to keep tt so as to force it up tor four days and sell i on the tifth. Four days they were “pears,” and they were “bulls” ou the last day. The Treasury agents cannot escape the mdictment of future history of this great Unton—that a smail mau with a long cigar smoked away the industrial resources of the country; that they carried on a game of peculation; that they changed the crooked letter of the alphabet, 8, by the crooked policy of the administration, and con- verted their game of pecuiation into speculation- and, moreover, there are the other two crooked Jetters which go together—C and G—Corbin and Grant. (Applause and laughter.) ‘The ability on the part of the Treasury agents was a crime. Had the lamented Fessenden not departed he might have been called upon to vote for the impeachment of President Grant. (Applause.) The speaker con- cluded by hoping the cities of New York ana Brook- lyn would by their votes on Tuesday rebuke those flagrant crimeg against commerce and industry, After strongly advocating ‘he State ticket Mayor Hali concluded as follow: ‘This election completes a threefold triumph, Two years ago we elected a State ticket and restored confidence to the State officers, Last year we restored confidence, honesty and sagacity to the executive Chamber—(cheers/—and this year we want to restore a democratic ascendancy to the Legislature. (Kenewed cheering.) When that ts aone, New York and Brooklyn will again become entitied to their Pane rights of local ascendancy. (Loud cheers.) think there ls every prospect of tnat being accomplished, and when it 18 ac- complishe the other cities of tne Union can say to New York and her sister city, “Well done, thon good and faithful servant.” (Ap- plause.) In the forest Acteon surprised a nymph unawares surrounded by her court as the Goddess of Chastity—Diana. She punished him by rending him with her own dogs. ‘That Acteon is republican- ism during the war, which took the gens of lib- erty—the nymph of this republic—unawares and covered her over with faise pretences and lies and deceit, (Applause.) Now, there is but one mission for the genius of liberty, speaking through the democratic party, to fulfll towards this action of republicanism, surrounded as he 1s, not only by dogs, bnt they stand in such @ posi- tion, to use @ paraphrase, that “to be hated needs but to be seen’’—and that mission of the demooratic party 1s to see that this action of republicanism is rended to pleces by hfs own dogs. (Loud and long continued applause, amtd which Mr. Hall retired), Mr. E, O, Perrin next addressed the meeting and was followed by Mr. Carey, of Ohio, who delivered an eloquent address, in substance the same as thay So by him on Wednesday night at Tammany Hall. Other speakers followed, and the meeting did not break up until near twelve o'clock.

The chainnan’s parting salute to his audience was not very greatly relished, and it is problematical whecher they could see it in the wame light as he when he told them very oarnently that the work they bad to do Wasa “areat entertainment and feast,” and ag such should be appreciated, MASS MEETING IN JACKSON SQUARE. for leniantounen Mass with the Tamatius Fly: Meeting Last Night—“Down Ring.” The Eighth, Ninth, Fifteenth and Sixteenth wards torned out in thelr strength last evening, the result being a display of so imposing a character in nu- merical strength and unanimity as has rayely been witnessed in this city.
