Mr. WILSON offered an amendment authorizing the continuation of the present Legislature for two years from ita reo!

Mr. WILLBY, (rep.) of W. Va., said the attempt to thrust the federal arm forward into the future to dictate toa State what it shall or shall not do was the initiation of a process which must sooner or Balen te in Congress the whole powers of the the State rignts school; he had rather been the panies of criticism by. them; but 1 did seem to him that any man who would adopt elther the Proviso on tbe pill or the amendment pro- | ys yy ihe senator from Massachusetts ought forever after hold his peace with regard to the mter- vention of Congressional power with the right of a State. He thought the true policy was to provide at this time. for @ provisional government of Georgia. Af the present bill was to pags he would move to in- Sert, ag a substitute for the Bingham amendment, a provision designed to pe a warning to tae State that rederal intervention would follow any attempt toset up a perpetual government under authority of the present Legislature. Mr. STEWART argued that Georgia should either be kept out under inilttary rule, or the present loyal State organization should be given sufficient time to estab)ish itself and provide the means for a fair elec- ion when it came, Mr. HOWARD, (ren.) of Michigan, thought the in- terests of the country required the intervention of the Jederal power to prevent Georgia from passing into the hands of @ party influenced by revengefu! mo- tives towards the Union party. Mr. THURMAN, (dem.) Of Ohio, asked whether the Senator meant to assert that @ majority of the elec- tors of Georgia were opposed to the radical party, Mr. HOWARD repli! according to the best infor. mation he bad received ne was not only satisfied tata maicrity of the vovgrs of Georgia were Op- GO AE Fie Feed SREcNeorerguewpens’ TOereys 20 ERPEETERS 157 Bok BYe OGU'SREE tah) Save.

Dosed to the so-called radical party, but were Op ie ine government of the United States. Mr. i. FRPRMAN Does the Senator, then, propose to Provision in the State consutution which makes those men voters ? Mr. HowaRp did not pr to reject any such thing; he proposed to have the State governwent in the hands of a loyal majority and not in the bands of a Sporn waitor minovity, Mr. THURMAN said if be understood the logic of his friend 1t was this:—The constitution of Georgia gave to a body of men who are 1u @ majority in that State the right to vote. Those men were opposed, nis friend ‘said, even to the government of tke United States. His friend was not willing they sould bave the control of affairs In Georgia, but ne did not propose to touch the constitution, but simply Lo give the minority of the electors under that cou- stitution the rule and dominion over the majority. Mr. Howanp replied that bis proposition was that the present rigiature, which Was loyal by a large majority, should rematn in possession of the power of ihe State for the present as a means of security, 43 a means of preserving the peace of Georgia and of preventing the , which might yet arise in another case, for the intervention of the military power of the United States to put down a reveliion Withip the State. He then argued to show that the proposed continuance of the terms of the present pine oMmcers was contemplated in the State consti- ution, Mr. 'IRURMAN opposed the amendment of a wi son as @ greater stretch of power shan uy claimed in auy of the recone! ite purpose was to continue meu iu office for two years, Not by the votes of the people, but by an act of Con- gress. Referring to the alleged acts violative of the constitutioh, he said the time was when the Arnerican er ‘mania ae been rousea almost frenzy by, one of these acts, now oye Almost dally cooerrence: The appa- vent indifference of the country was, he thought, atiributabie to the fact that we were bow passing through that reacuionary period of quiet ana bd train qui, which invariably succeed any grea vul- sion like civil war. He would not aeny thats such organizations as the Ku Klux Klans existed in the South, In a community where the military domi. nated over the power of the people, and where negro ignorance was made paramount to white in- telligence and virtue, the wonder would be that such organizations did not exist, Human nature was homan nature, we was natural to rebel against seeming oppression. The impulses of the human heart cout not be arplied out by any law. He then went on to show t, according to admis- sions of Senators since the late rebel States had passed into extremely loyal hands, pi and order had been unknown within their bor He held, a3 @ necessary sequence, that under democratic administration law and order: a prevail there, and he advised the Senate, as the only means of re- staring the jormer conditions of things, to blot out radicalism in the South and allow the people to elect their own rulers and thus re-establisn democratic government with its indispensable adjuncts of peace, order and prosperity. « Mr. MORRILL, (rep.) of Me., thought the city of ae ought to be excepted trom the last re- Mr, THURMAN replied by reminding the Senator (Mr. Morrill) that the governing power in that city, upon which the responsibility for infractions of the law should be visited, was not the Mayor or councils, Due the police force estabilshed by aradica: Legisla- ure. ‘The Vick PRESIDENT then announced that Senators kon Cameron, Trumbull, ‘xhayer, Cae ae Casserly had been spo re] resent the Sena: at the obsequies of ata ia Fe ir. SUBRMAN, (re] of Ohio, reptied vn length to bis colleague tien ‘urman), Whose statements le regarded as an apology for the Ku Klux Kian. He had not expected nis colleague to appear as their apologist. In answer to that attempt as an excuse for that class he would ask his colleague for ue name of one man jn the Soutn who had been de- prived of his rights by the republican party. He beheved that the generosity, humanity and for- vearauce of the party in power, in its treat- ment of the rebels, was without a parallel in human history, Here were eight millions of people who had slaughtered three hundred thousand of the bravest aud best of our land, and plunged the gov- ernment into debt; yet, after laying down tueir arms, no one Of them had bee! been injured in person or pro- perty. On the other hand, imatances of outrages were frequent, where loyal men had been persecuted Jor opinion’s sake. In proof of this he read trom General ‘Terry’s report upon affairs in Georgia, ani from pamphlets ilustrative of individual cases of cruelty toward the blacks who voted for Seymour and Biair. Mr, THURMAN, by way of correction, informed his colleague that he had not sougnt to excuse the Ka Klux Kian or any other, bub had argued that their existence Was the natural result of the condition of things in tue South, Mr. SHERMAN sald the Inference, then, was that the government had oppressed the people, which he, for one, denied. Me then gave at length his rea- ops for opposing that portion of the Bingham amendment which extends the terms of the State ofticers for two years longer. EXECUTIVE SESSION. Without conciuding his remarks Mr. Sherman Jieldea the floor for a motion. to go into executive session, which, being-ad saoptes, the doors were closed for fiftéen minutes, and then, at ten imate to five P.

Mr. SCHENCK, (rep.) of Ohio, suggested the modifi- cation of the resolution so as to make the investiga- tion extend to the conduct of the captain of tne Bombay.

On motion of Mr, SCHENCK the item as to raw or Muscovade sugar was amended so as to read ‘‘on all raw or muscovado sugar and on ail other sugar not above No, 12 Dutch standard in color, two ceuts per pound,” Mr. SCHENCK explained that this would admit, at two cents per pound, all en that had not gone through the refining process, the better grades of which were preferred by many people to the clari- fled sugars; and also refined sugars not above No, 12 Dutch stangard in color, Adopted. The amendment went on to the next itemin the bill—ciarified sugar, three cents pound, Mr. ALLISON moved to reduce it to two and a half cents per pound, stating that one-half cent per pound was all the distinction the refiners themselves asked between the raw and the refined sugars.

Thayer, the well known veteran actor. He was seventy-lwo years of age, having been born in Boston, Mass., im 1798, and was descended from one of the earliest settlers of New Engiand. {n one of the grammar schooia of his native city he received @ good rudimentary education, and was preparing for a collegiate course when the position of midshipman in the United States Navy was oifered and accepted by him. He accordingly went into the service on the 18th of June, 1812, and was at once assigned to duty on board the frigate Chesapeake. On the 1st of June, 1813, the gallant Lawrence accepted the challenge of the British frigate Shannon for a naval engagement off Boston har- bor. Lawrence nad just joined his ship, which was inadequately manned, and was compelied to de- pend greadly upon Dis officers, who were young aud ‘nexperiencea. In tbe severe encounter that took place young Thayer acted right gallanuy. With the surviving officers and men of the Chesapeake he Was made prisoner by the British and taken to Hali- Sax, where he remamed for seven months. On being exchanged be retu: wee to duty and was actively em- ployed until peace declared in 1815, On the 23d of May of the same year the deceased resigned bis commisston a8 midshipman and re- turned to private life. He shortly entered Harvard University as a law student, remaining there nearly two years. Wedo not think that he ever practised at the bar, for the next we hear of him is at Boston, where, yielding to a penchant for the stage, he joined @ dramatic association and studied assiduously with a view to adopting tlie theatrical profession, He made rapid pragcee, eae fa 1821 gy peared tor the first time as Tancred, in “Tancred and Sigis- Tuund.”” Success attended this representanion, and thereafter his name was placed on the list of regular actors at the ole federal Street theatre—the most arl@ocratic then In 1824 Mr. Thayer made his débat in New York, appearing at the old Chatham theatre as Young in “A Cure for the Heartache.” Supse- quently he was engaged at the old Lafayette theatre, on Laurens street, near Canal. This place of amuse- ment was, at the time, one of the most popular in the country, all the pieces performed there being put on in splendid style. ‘The stage was che largest In. the United States, being mere than twenty feet deeper than that of the bowery theatre. 1t was constructed for General Charles W. Sandford, and was burned down iu 1828. During Mr. Thayer's career here the theatre boasted of one of the best of companies, the members including such names as Henry Wallsck, James Watkins Burroughs, Peter Ricnings, J. M. Scott, George F. Hyatt, Henry Eberle, W. Steme, Mrs. Hill, sister of the elder Wallack; Mrs. Wallack, Mrs. Fisher, whom te sub- dequeutly married aud who survives him, and the Eberle Sisters, tne celebrated burlesque actresses, sree special favorites in Philadelphia and the jouth. Frow the Lafayette theatre he played severa) short engagements at various piaces, and on the 24th of May, 1839, a} appeared in Philadeiphia as My Lord, in “High Life Below Stairs.” In this city he spent’ the balance of his doys, bis widow being, at the present time, a member of the Arch Street the- atre company. Mr. Thayer’s great specialty was representing the fop, in which he was regarded one of the best actors on the American stage, He was also good in light comedy, and of late years played old men’s parts acceptably. Possesséd of a retentive memory he seldom needed the aid of a prompter, and when performing an unstudied part was abic to aa igh with it by substituting his own werds for the unknown text. Personally he was of gen- tlemaniy deportment, a genial companion, and a Warn) hearted, liberal friend, A NEWARK SENSATION SPOILED.

J., @ young married lady, of pefife and prepossessing appearance, died at her residence on Broad street, after an ii- ness extending some four weeks or more.

Sne kepta millinery and fancy store on Broad street, nearly opposite the depot of the Newark and New York Railroad, and was reported asa most exem- plary womau—of late years, at all events. in her younger days, prior to her marriage, she had the misforuine to be deceived, a8 1 admit- ted by her reiatives, by apa and festive, though very wortniess, Lotnario.

The Charter Before the Senate Com- mittee on Municipal Affairs, Greeley Thinks It Can Be Improved and Sammy Tilden Advises Caution. The Committee Report it to the Senate Without Amendment. It is Made the Special Order for To-Day and Will Undoubtedly Pass. ALBANY, April 4, 1870, ‘The labors of this afternoon have deciaed the fate of the charter tn its favor. A multitude of people thronged the rooms of Mr. Tweed at the Delavan at haif-past four to bear the merits of the bill discussed before the Committee on Municipal Afairs, THE CITIZENS’ ASSOCIATION was represented by Mr. Joseph F. Daly, who spoke foreibly but briefy in its favor, as suggested this morning by Peter Cooper tn the HERALD, and It is nOt necessary to repeat his argument. He seemed to Nave a fuller knowledge of the government of the city than any of those who preceded him. HORACE GREELEY spoke for nearly an hour, and did not once in ail that time twist bia red pocket handkerchief tn bis fingers, He thought that the Mayor shoula be elected at the same time as the aldermen—that is in spring—no matter whether the same individual was elected or not. He wanted that no oMcial should hold two offices, and he thonght that the supervision of Wharves and rlers should be entrusted to the De- partment of Public Works, which Is proposed to com- prise the Street Departmenc and Croton Department, Greeley was not as fidgety as usual in presenting his views, but spoke calmly and rationally. The general tone of his remarks were rather favorable than otherwise to the Charter and did not exhibit much of the Morrissey Influence by which he ts said to be mesmerized. RUFUS F. ANDREWS explained that at the late meeting of the Union League there were only sixty members present and they were very diverse in opinion, All the features of the blll, except thatin reierence to Central Park, were approved by the majority of those present. SILK STOCKING SAMMY had @ great deal to say avout his action in the con- vention of 1846 in favor of electing Sonators and Assemblymen on a general ticket, but he did not explatn very satisfactorily why he objected to the same course in the case of the Board of Aldermen. The few points he raised against the Charter were directed to the fact that the next Mayor would have very little appoiuting power and his successors almost none at all, He wound up with a@ little homily about caution and moderation on the part of the committee, The result in the Senate wiil show how the committee adopted his advice. Nothing could be more moderate or cautious, or at the sane time so decisive as that action, THE CHARTER IN THE SENATE. ‘Tne action in the Senate was very brief indeed. After the transaction of some unimportant business Senator Tweed rose and in behalf of the Committee on Municipal Affairs reported the charter without amendment, and moved that it be made a special order for to-morrow after reading of the journal. Senator Kennedy, always sharp and snapplsh, like poor old brougham used to be in the House of Lords, wanted that the bill regulating elections in the city of New York and the general election bill should be embodied in the special order. Mr. GgneT—Is not the Police bill the special order for to-night? J think Mr. TWEED (sOtio voce)—I thought you said you were not going to oppose the motion. Mr. GgxeT (warmly)—1 am not opposing it, but 1 don’t like this thing. ‘The PResIDENT—The Election bill is not tne ape- clal order for this evening. Mr. TwRED—I accept the amendment of Senator Kennedy. Mr. GenetT—Then I move for a division of the question, and call for the ayes ana noes. ‘The motion being carried by a vote of twenty- three, the original motion making the Charter a special order for to-morrow was carried by a vote of twenty-three to one. The Charter will therefore pass to-morrow, and probably go to the Governor for is signature. * Senators generally seem to accept it a9 the only legislation which can be obtained this session for the government of the city of New York. THE HUNDREDS OF POLITICIANS who came up to-day represent nearly all the branches of the city government. Sherif’s ofice, Board of Aldermen, police justices, tax ofMicers, Comptroller’s oMce and all the rest may be dis- appointed in their ¢xpectations that any changes in their departments will be made in this now all- important mnsiraiment. THE BAPTISM OF THE BABY will take place to-morrow. The ceremony will radi- ate with the smiles of Tweed and Frear, and no doubt even Genet, Creamer and Norton will drink its good health at the baptismal font. IN THE ASSEMBLY but little was done, the session being devoted to the oe of private claims bills, THe CHAR itt Qui JESTION, The Union League chub Committce Before the Senate Legisintive Committee on the New, Charter=What Horace Greeley Sug- gesta—Ho Wants the Central Park Commis. sion to Remain Untonched=The Lrresponsi- bility of Two Local Governments. ALBANY, April 4, 1870, The Sepate Committec on the new Charter for the city of New York met in the Deiavan House this afternoon at four o'clock, Scnator Tweed in the chair, There was a large attendance, including many gentlemen from the city of New York. The CHAIRMAN satd:—The committee has met to hear the advocates of the opponents to the Charter for the city of New York, We shall be happy to hear gentlemen representing interests in the city. Mr. HORACE GREELRY rose and sald:—I appear on behaif of @ meeting of citizens convened at the rooms of the Union League Club, and representing @ large amount of taxpaying Interest, and earnestly devoted to good government. I feel very certain I speak the minds of @ majority of that mecting when I say they do not wish to be regarded by your committee as either advocates or opponents of the document now before you. They ask me to offer, as one of their number, to set forth certain amendments they wish to be made to that Oparter, but they Ao not offer them in any factious spirit. Nor do they de- sire to be unaerstood by you or by any member of the Legisiature as enemies of the charter reform. On the other hand, they ask me to appear before you and aggure you that reform is an especial necessity of the city, aud as they regard this document as em- bodying many excellent advances toward reform we are not here to ask you to re- ject it. We ask you to prove it. Weask youto adopt certain amendmenis that will make it more useful and more efMicient, as we think, than it would be in the state in which it was first presented, We nave waked up for several morn- ings past with the news tn our ears that @ new char- ter had been adopted or had been rejected in the Assembly, and it seemed to me that the citizens of New York should have had me to consider any such document. We hear that this was rusted through on a previous qgiestion, or something of that sort, without having any time for amendment. {do not care who should be the framers of acharter. No one man ts able to frame a charter for the city of New York, and no document can be snch a charter as we read unless it had beea duly and wisely discussed. Besides the million iiying in the city of New York there are pro- bably not less tian two or three millions whose property {3 there who are members of the commu- nity without being actual voters. Our time 18 speht there; our lapor is given there, and whatever we haye of fortuues or of hove of sortunes is under the SHEET. Now, in presenting to you the programe of resolu- tions which were adopted at that meeting I shall refer to the first item on this card, which, indeed, hes at the foundation of what [ have to say to-day. ‘That is the purification of our election. I dont care if an archangel were to make a charter for the city of New York, and then you were to elect by bailot- box stuifers, 16 would not be possible to have an honest government, The foundation of all reform in the government of the city of New York Must be the conviction that every legal voter 48 at liberty to cast one ballot into the ballot box and that no one else can cast in any ballot woat- ever, If you nave secured us that, you have secured Us the thing we most need, To-day it is commonly believed in the city of New York that @ large pro- portion of the votes are fraudutently cast, and that votes 80 Iraudulently cast or fraudulently counted have determined most of our recent elections; and jast so long a8 this continues just go long shall we have a bad city government, We are anxious, then, first of all things, that there should be sucti"an elec: live law as should embody these principles:—First, that the receiver is as bad as the thief; that the mao who tacttes or suborns men to vote illegally should be punished at least as severely as the person Whom he incites to vote, Mr. KENNEDY Was understood to say that that was Pr SiheRLey Bald fe had not examined it, Mr. GREELEY continued:—Ibhe men wiio do the dishonest voting are usually poor and wretched per- sons whom nobody knows, nobody sees. Now ine Jaw which strikes at the man who hires such per- sons and pays, them, whether by office or by mouey, or only by lett them off from some petty offence, 18 & good one, There 18 where the foundation i to be laid, The law should swear every election oMcer to receive none out legal voters, und to count these votes exactly as they are cast. ‘The manshould swear » and be punished for perjury tf in any manner be receives ttegal votes aud counts votes fraudulently. wae KENNEDY—Tbe proposed law provides for all at. Mr. GREELEY—I have not seem that. You have now State officers who are under no responsibility to the Governor nor to each other, who may be, in fact, on terms of hostility with the Executive; and yet ne has no control whatever over these persons. You may have officers connected with the State Prisons who are actually a disgrace to the administration in power, and yet the Executive has no power of re- moval. So with regard to the canals. This isa mistake which has been followed in our present Chaxter; for such fashions go dowuward from State to municipal governmenis, And such is now the foundation of our claim for better govern- ment. The precedent of decentralization has been too faithfully tollowed in our city. There is no re- sponsibie head of the government of the city. Make the Executive master of the situation, with no exec- utive department that is nov responsible to and removable by bim. That is the improve- ment we ask for. Now let me point out to you some other amendments which I think are required. ‘There was something eaid in regard to sectarian schools, but | don’t think that can be attached to the Charter. It is a maiter that has no relation to tv and bad better be considered separately. The CHAtRMAN—I have seen clergymen of Mle denominations and we shall arrange that nadie ferent manner, Mr. GREELEY—Very well. Our meeting next asks you to abolish the distinction between the city and county governmeut. It creates an idie Executive, which seems togus the source of aii our woes. If you seek to find out the source of some wrong that has beea done you tnd that the Mayor fas no power over the doer. We Want @ Mayor Wio shall be the aead of the govern. ment, and to whom we can say, “There Is a piece of corruption uncovered; you are responsible for these fen failing to do their duty, for you have the power to remove them.” Mr. Kennepy—This being a local Charter, having exclusive reference to the city of New York, you can’t join tt to the county. Mr. GregLEY—We say in the next place that we should preter the Central Park Commission 10 re- main as itis. in tne opinion of all intelligent clti- zene it Has been exceedingly well managed. For myself I can say that | Know nothing of the politics of any single employé of the Board, bat | know that in the popular mind the Park has been man- aged with exceeding fideirty and intelligence. We would like to let alone that wilco, m every one's Judgment, 18 now done well. Of course, if it should make the Mayor head of all the government, we shoud not object to his having control over tt; but prestrve it to us as tt now exists. The CHAIRMAN—We do not desire to change it. Mr. GREELEY—I am glad of that. Another point this pi one advocates is the limiting the term of all officers to the time for which the Mayor shall be elected. This, you see, 13 very important. The Charter ig based upon the theory that all officers of the city government; shali be absolutely re- sponsible to one responsible head; but if there is to be @ Comptroller here aud a Street Department there, *over whom te Mayor bas no ud there can Tespousibility, Sul any oficer has been Tpporuted by some former Mayor If the Mayor can- not control that man we cannot hold the Mayor re- sponsible for tne government of the city. He cannot be responsible for officers whom he cannot appoint orremove. Another principle which we thougat it would be right that you should embody in tifis bill ig that no voter should vote for more than len out of fifteen Aldermen to be elected. itis thesame princtpie that we recognize with re- gard to the inspectors of elections, the principie of the representation of minorities. I could wish very much that the Legislature would recognize that principle in the Gharter. Fam also asked a hundred umes in &@ month what are the emoluments of this or that officer of the porvoraHt and I am always obliged to say that I don’t Know. There 1s something bad there. For instance. A man is pald so much for Comptroller and 80 much as @ Commissioner of the Sinking Fund, One man isa member of the Police Board, and he {8 also @ member of the Board of Excise. Now what we oelieve to be just and right is to give a fair salary to every officer and have done witn i. Pay him a fair salary and require him todo the work for the money, so that we may know how much he is paid and what his duties reaily are. I also think it would be desirable that the Mayor should have the appointment of the Corporaiton Counsel, because i he were secretly the enemy of the Mayor (and | have known such things) the jatter might be led into a great deal of trouvie by simply following his advice On ‘egal matters. I think, too, that the docks and wharves ought to be under one Board of Commissioners; but 1 will not insist upon that. { think, too, there ought to be a regulation providing that persons sliall not hold more than one office under the city government. Ithink you will see how necessary that is, If you take the Comptrolier’s report you cannot tell woat are the names of the persons re- celving salaries there. They appear only as a “frst clerk, “second clerk,” and so on, and we do not know whether these men exist or not, or whether they are absolutely earning their money or not. FVeopie understand that there are a good many men receiving salaries who do not personally render any servis, JH ATRMAN—We anon thar more a matter of orgimance than of S| HERP ath You tad tO akon nid of Aiers : arlidio doubt the first Be ty. be good cae, but the next Wil be 4 poor ope, gu afraid in a little time Mee mt ets chy tat ian had anything do with the working | of the Board.

Mr. TILDEN theh addressed the committee, intro- ducing bis objections by saying that be came here to injure no party of men, but simply to contribute gl ke might be adie w a result in which he, committees and “gli of us’ Have a great interest. He said he had no motive beyond that of securing the very beat charter for New York city that could be got, Nothing on earth would induce him to enter upon a career of city politics. He bad no feeling of unkindness towatds any humap being. He then stated his objections at length to the charter before the committee, which did not, however, appear to make much impression upon taeir minds, NEW YORK LEGISLATURE. SENATE.

THE PARK COMMISSION. test Against a Transfer of Control. A largely attended meeting of those desirous of not having the Legislature interfere with the Cen- tral Park Commission was held yesterday morning at the Real Estate Exchange, No, 111 Broadway. Mr, Mart:n called the meeting to order and Mr, James W, Beekman presided. Joined resoiutions, Among the speakers were William E, Darling, who sald he saw solid men gathered nere impressed with with the significance of tnis movement. Fifteen years ago wise men saw the sanitary benefit of & park, ana reclaimed the desolate swamps. ‘The poll- ticians wished to pervert It to base uses. The com- mission Was appointed, whose wisdom and integrity was unimpeachavle. The Park cost $10,000,000, and $100,000,000 was added to the value of cou- tiguous property, Mr. William B. Ugden said that the Park cultivated civility of manners, If tt comes into the hands of party polities it wit lose its character and cease to be the pleasure ground and pride of the peopie. It this charter is not amended ip this particular its days are numbered. Let one thing be saved from this spirit of destructive parti- gan spirit, Mr. Opdyke followed in much the same spirit and hoped that a strong committee would be a0 ointed to go to Albany and contest the measure to Interfere with the Park. Mr. Join H. Sherwood sald that the use of his name in the HERALD yeater- day morntog was unauthorized. Mr. Fuller, frou Fort Washington, said that putting a wan inthe Place of Andrew H.

Tracey, and Mr. Healey was chosen secretary. Mr. Tracy, om taking the chair, alluded briefy,to tue object of the meeting, and referred in eulogistic terms to the re- cent coup a’iat of Mr. Tweed and his Irtends a& Albany, in which he claimed the old and tried ae- mocracy had achieved a triumph over external and intestine foes. The following resolution was thea presented and unamimously adopted:— By the democratic electors of the Thirteenth ward in mase meeting assembled, That the official conduct of our represen- tatives in the State’ Legislature, the Senator of the Fourth district, Hon. William M. ‘Tweed, and the Assemolyman of the Fourth, Hon. Timothy J. Campbell, have been consistent with our view of the right, and we hereby heartily endorse it. A letter waa read from Mr. Campbell, dated at the Delavan House, Albany; also a despatch from Wu- ham M. Tweed at the same place, and one from Maysor Hat, dated on board the cars en route, suage George M. Curtiss, of the Marine Court, neXt addressed the meeting, staung that he had been @ Iife-long friend of Mr. Tweed; that he was also a warm personal friend of very many of the Opposition; that 1 was one of the most disagreea- bfe tasks of his luie to be compelled to take action against friends whom he esteemed so nighly im their personal relations, and in whose judgment and integrity be bad always placed the most im- plicit trust. But m an emergency of such great moment as that which threatened the party and the country, it benooved every man to search carefully for the truth and when convinced of tue most proper course to stand by his convic- dons with unflinching determination. ‘The speaker then expressed his warm approval of the course of Mr. Tweed and iis confréres and he thougnt it the only one which would preserve the prestige of the party and Jead it on to pew victories. After a speech by Mr. J. Maclear ard singing by Mr. Kerrigan tue meeting adjourned, Tweed, “The Noblest Roman of Them All,’? A large and enthusiastic meeting of the Central Willlam M.

The Opinion, of Attorney General Gilchrist The Princeton Folks Advised to Submit Gracefually. The charter election in Princeton came ofr yester- day, and it was the first in the State of New Jersey since the fifteenth amendment went into opera- tion. There was some loud grumbling on the part of democrats against thelr colored brethren, and as threats of violence were made Mayor Stoneaker communicated with Attorney Gen- éral Gilchrist, asking the question, “Have tbe ne- Foes # right to vote?’ Mr. Giichrist ee nig oy y, and without any equivocation whatever. He Neved that the ratification of the amendment was obtained by unconstitutional force. and that on this ground !t may Onaily be held by all branches of the government never io have been in force; yet the Judges of election should treat the matter as & pl tical one, and receive the votes of negroes. Any ju e@ adds, who refuses to do this, will undoubtedly subject himself to the penalty of the Jaw, and if the courts ¢decide be 18 wrong, to @ etvil suit, and the person elected may, if the votes refused would bave defeated him, lose his election. Mr. Gilchrist con- cludes as follow: “AS @ practical, present question of the hour the right of the colored man to vote, if he is otherwise qualified, should be treated as set- Ued tn big favor.” This opinion is not very paiat to the hafd-sheil democracy of little Jersey.
