Politics Sprang rap Couventlon—Stormy Debate on the Admission of a Colored Delegate. CINCINNATI, August 16, 1870, The Labor Congress has admitted Samuel F. Carey to a seut on the Noor, On a motion being made to admit John M. Lang- ston (colored) @ stormy scene ensued, It was ob- jected that Langston had done everything in bis power to injure the labor movement, and had last year insulted the Congress. The yeas and nays were called. During the progress of the voting various members claimed the privilege of explain- ing their votes, Points of order were continually made that no explanations were in order, Finally some of the more determined delogates broke down the ruling of the chair, and Mr, Coin, of Washington, in explaining his vote, sald that he nad‘voted to admit a man idenufed with the demo- cratic pa ety, Mr. 5. F. Carey, and he now claimed the right of voting for a man identified with the republican party. Loud cries of “order” drowned his volce; but when he was permitted to proceed he said, as the republican party bad been assailed, he would say that the republican party had done every- thing in the way of legislauon that had been done for the working man. A storin of cries of “order” and =hixses followed this, and renewed eilorts were made to stop the speaker. He stood his ground, however, and finally said that if Mr. Langston was rejected it would give the Congress phase of having been manipulated by the democratic party, while if Mr. Langston was ad- mitted the political balance would be equal. Mr. Isaac Myers (ceeen explained his vote, asked if @ man’s identification with either of the Dolitical parties Was a pecessary qualification for ad- mission to tnis floor. Mr. Myers sald the insult to last year’s Congress by Mr. Langston had been punished at that ume, and he ought now to be ad. Initted. He yoted “yea” and was applauded. Mr. Isaac 0. Weare Tsonga J sald he wonld vote on principle, and whether a man came from heaven or hell he would vote for his admission if he dared to come Into this Congress in the interest of laboring men. Peter H. Clark (also colored) voted “Nay.” ‘Three of the tour ladies voted | “Aye. The full vote on admitting Mr. ton was: — Yeas 49, nays 23. ‘The motion to allow T. B.

Deadly Encounter Between a Convict and n Keeper, Yesterday afternoon a convict, named Solomon Lissman, employed in the shoe shop of the State Prison at Trenton, complained that he was unwell and desired to see the doctor. The keeper, Joseph O'Neill, did not believe his statement, thinking that it was merely @ ruse to escape work. Solomon became wrathy, und the ‘keeper ordered him to continue his work, The convict re- mained suljen, but silent, and the moment ’ the keeper turned to move down the shop Solomon threw a haunuer and pincers at him im rapid succession. Fortunately the implements did not strike a vital part, and O'Neill, seeing that the convict was preparing to follow up the attack, drew his revolver and snapped it, but the weapon missed fire, He then clinched wath the convict, and after a desperate struggle forced him against the wall, when he was se- cured with chains and heavily lroned. A few of the convicts in the shop who sympathized with Solomon were about to join in the afray, but the timely as- sistance which the keeper received frustrated: their designs. Solomon has been at times very stubborn and intractable, and henceforward the keepers will have asharp lookout for him.

The Race at Newport for the Ashbury and New York Yacht Club Cups. , Another Victory for the Magio and the Cambria. The Magic the Winner of the Ashbury Cup. Our English Guest the Winner of the New York Yacht Club Cup. Fine Weather and an _ Bxcit- i] ing Race. Newport, R. 1., August 16, 1870. The much talked of race for two of the cups pre- sented by Mr. James Ashbury—one for schooners and the other for sloops—came off to-day. In con- nection with these prizes there was also & cup given by the New York Yacht Club. A more favorable oc- casion could net have been selected, and the contest was throughout a sptendid affair, resulung in @ victory for an American craft that has already distinguished herself, as well as in a triumph for the British yacht Cambria, It was perhaps the closest race be- tween two echooner yachts on record, for the Judges hesitated long ere they could determine which of the two was first at the goal. That the capacities of the competitors were brought to a test there can be little doubt, and although fore and aft sails were allowed, all had a fair opportunity for the exhibition of their quailles, It was a good, dead beat to windward, a race always hailea with satisfaction by thorough yachtmen, and the Magic, 10 winning Mr. Ashbury’s Cup, has assuredly won a glorious reputation; while the Cambria, in carrying the one given by the club, has proved herself to be a vessel worthy the renown she has deservedly gained. The proximity of the two yachts to each otner at the home stakeboat was wonderful, after such a race, and it was not until after much calculation that it was aunounced that the Magic was the leading yacht by ‘twenty sec- onds. The excitement of the spectators was im- mense, and the winning yaclita—for both were victorious, since the Magic takes one cup and the Cambria the other—were welcomed by joyful salntes, There were entered altogether thirteen schooners and four sloops, all of which were supposed to be in the very best trim. The race was to be sailed according to the rules and regulations of the New York Yacht Club, giving time allowance, and the course was from a line between Fort Adams and the Dumpling to and around ihe buoy off Block Island, on the starboard side, fying start. The judges were Messrs. Lewis M. Rutherford, Henry J. Steb- bins and Shepard Homans, who were stationed on a steamer close by the fort, the vicinity of which was crowded with pleasure crafts of every description conveying passengers to witness the race. The fol- lowing Were the entries:— SCHOONPRS, Tonnage, SLOOPS, Ww. Johnson and ijam Krebs, G, B. Darfee. After waiting for a favorable opportunity to cross the line after the second whistle, the following is the order in which they started:— ap. Tidal Wave. Twenty minutes were allowed the yachts to pass the line after the signal to depart was given, At midday the wind was light, but shortly atter twelve o’clock a fresh breeze sprang up, south by west, and the yachts stood out from the harbor. Prior to getting into line the spectacle was extremely pretty, ‘and as the wind was freshening a splendid race was anticipated, At 12:19 P. M, the first whistle blew to prepare. There was pow a strong ebb tide, At 12:23 P. M. the signal was given and the race commenced. Just prior to this the Cambria had stood out from the line, but finding none of her competitors coming along she ran back to the lee of some of the vessels, consisting of the Halcyon, Palmer, Magic, Calypso and others, and, keeping to the leeward, the con- test was commenced. Meanwhile the Tidal Wave, 8 soon as the second whistle was blown, passed the ine, and standing to windward she was consiaera- bly abead. Behind the Palmer came the Alarm, Alice, Phantom, the Madeleine to the windward, next the fort, the Madgie on the Dumpling side, the Idler on the starboard quarter of the Madeleine, ana the Rambler last. Only fore and aft sails were used. The Tidal Wave was the first to tack, but the Cam- bria, working to windward of her companions, advanced to the front, closely chased by the Magic, which had also worked over to the windward. Then the Cambria came ap with the Tidal Wave and Weathered her In two tacks, The Magic then came up and also passed the Tidal Wave, and as the Magic and Cambria were heading for Point Judith the for- mer weathered the latter and went ahead, and from thence to the buoy there was very little change in their positions. The Magic retained the lead, pass- ing the sloops Elaine, Addie V., Gracie and White Cap on the way. The Cambria chased her closely, followed her every move and tacked when the Magic tacked, The Tidal Wave was a good third, and fost but little ground in her pursuit after the others. The rear batch of schooners were considera- blyastern, After passing Brinton’s Reef lightship the Madeleine stood out, to the extreme windward of the fleet, and in her wake were the Widgeon, |, Alarm, Idler, Phantom and Rambler. When close to the Narraganset shore the Jact mentioned vessel carried away her throat halyards, which, of course, impeded her progress, She nevertheless kept her position and continued m the race, About a mile from the lightship the Idler adopted the same course pursued by her on the day previous, ana tacked far ofto the windward, ahead of her being the Phan- tom, Halcyon, Madeieine and Palmer. : ‘The dead beat to windward was maintained with |. great activity. But very few changes characterized the contest, and it was a singular fact that the experience of yesterday in sailing for the buoy to windward was not attended with any advantages; for the favorable courses taken by the leading yachtg then and followed up to-day were not at all beneficial. As already mentioned, the Magic was the first schooner yacht off Point Judith, the Cambria about a few cable lengths astern, and the positions of the others showed that the Tidal Wave was third in the wake of the Cambria, the Palmer being next, the Halcyon fifth. The Madeleine haa now tacked close in shore, intending to make long stretches tothe buoy. She was followed by the Idler, the Madgte and Rambler on the same course, some distance behind, The Madgie tacked on the lee side of the Madeleine, and in company with her was the Phantom. The race between the Magic and Cambria was watched with the deepest anxiety, and the mterest | in the contest seemed to be centred unon them, After passing the Cambria off Point Judith the Magic slowly widened the gap between them, and when about @ mile from that light both evidently heid thelr ground. The Magic stood up beau- tifully, as did also her formidable adver- sary, and both bowled along in splendid avyle. The sloop yacht Gracle was on the starboard quarter of the Magic, but was soon o' hauled by the Cambria, The Alice sailed very well, having been completely set to rights since her late accident, She occupied a good position in thé ¥ sig ofthe Phantom. Off Point Judith some excellent manceuvres were made, but there were not a fow miscalculations, which placed several of the competitors away astern, The Idler and Rambler stood far out fo windward, and approaching the buoy the positions of the yachts might be placcd as follows:—Magic atead | tacking to southward off PoInt Judith; the slo ‘DB Elaine, Cambria, Tidal Wave, Gracie, Add! , a Palmer, Phantom, Alice, Madeleine, Mad ae and Alarm. The Halcyon had taken a northe’ sy gourse, intending, doubtless, to make the ' waoy in one stretch across off the west end of Block Island. The wind was quite fresh and "riea very little during the race for the buoy, a" 4a ater a splendid run the yachts rounded it as v yger;— HM 8. aM. 23 84 at ges SSSssar °. THE RETUBN. There W a§ @ good run before the wind, and, after roundir 4 the buoy, the Magic pruceeded homeward, stil (doscly pursued by the Cambria, The former did not gain anything, and when coming towards Point Judith the Cambria crept up somewnat, ana “the interest which had hitherto marked the contest began to increase. Ali hope of their fellows over- hauling either of them was abandoned, as both the Magic and Cambria were over three miles ahead. After turning the buoy it was a regular stern chase to the home stakeboat, and with the exception of the two leading yachts, which were now struggling hard, the race did not possess any features of inter- est. ‘The sloops had quite a lively little contest between themselves, the Elaine stili keeping the lead; but the schooners held almost the same positions from the buoy to the stakeboat. At times the wind de- creased considerably, but again freshened up. ‘The ran home was very rapid. Approaching the Beaver Tall Light the Cambria came closer to the Magic, and, amid the most intense excitement, they both salled down together almost bow and bow. None of the other yachts underwent a change of position during the entire run to the stakeboat, and after a capital race the following 1s the oficial record of the contest: — Corrected Time by Home Stakebout.

The Magic was declared the winner of the firat schooner prize and the Cambria of the second, while the prize for sloops fell to the Gracie, which, by the way, carried away her bob- stays. It was altogether a closely contested affatr, so far as the winning schooners were concerned, and the manner in which the arrangements were carried out afforded general satisfaction, The Sappho, Dauntiess and America did not par- tictpate in the race. The two first mentioned ves sels, however, took a cruise out towards Point Ju- dith and accompanied the racers home, THE RACB BETWEEN THE CAMBRIA AND PALMER.

JERSEY CITY CONMON COUNT.E. Anothcr Edifying Scene—How the Salary Question was Compromised—Revelatiors by an Alderman. ‘Yhe meeting of the Jersey City Common vouncil yesterday afternoon was the liveliest yet witnessed. It will be remembered that an injunction was sued out by certain taxpayers restraining the City ‘Treasurer from paying’ the salaries which the Aldermen voted to themselves till the question should be decided by the Supreme Court, Several Aldermen have been straining their nerves since to silence the grum- bling taxpayers and compromise the question, and ‘with what success will appear. When the routine business was dispos.d of yes- terday Alderman Mcladden offered a resolution that the deposits of the cliy be withdrawn from the Second National Bank and placed hereafter in the First National Bank, The debate which ensued on this resolution was most exelting. Half a dozen members claimed tue floor at one time; motions and counter motions were brougnt Torward; the chairman becames restless and refused to entertain certain motions Alderman Hogan re- ferred the chairman to the rules, igetemiing the Board, and thus carried the mouons, At ig Algerman Ege obtained @ hearing, and he said he was com- pelled by a sense of duty to lose the fact that the resolution and the tumitit ich followed it were tife result of a comprom! which could not fail td arouse the Indignat of every citizen. The Second .fational | been awarded the d by @ majority of the Board of Aldermen on two different ovca- sions in the face of all the overtures made by the rival bank, and the present, ement could only be accounted for by the ove: which, according to the most reliable authority, )been made to sume Alderman by those who sued er the injunction, and who are working in the in ib Of the First Na- tional Bank. " This exposure caused great consternation in the lobby, and, the question be; put to a vote, Alder- man McFadden’s resolution was carried’ by a ‘vote of 16 to 14. The overtures referred to» by Alderman Ege may be stated ina single sentence, If the Aldermen vote the city deposits to the First National Bank the injunction suit on the salary question will be withdrawn, lothing 60 disgraceful as this has yet transpired sinee the organizations of the Cominon Council, except perhaps the very liberal supply of gold badges, at forty-five dollars each, whica the members voted to themselves, and whicit are not transferable to their successors, The gencrai opinion is that the Mayor wii veto the resylution, PRISONER-RESCUINS sWaIES IN NEWARK, While constable Lang was serving a process yesterday on one Gotueib silisler, of No. 85 Kast Kinuey street, Newark, who stands charged with breach of the peace and arson in setting fire to the house of a neighbor, a gang ofrowdies named Sand- ford, headed as allegea by une Andrew Moer, of 373 Plane street, intertcred, rescued the prisoner, Eilsier, and then assaulted the constable, The prisoner was rearrested, however, and piaced in the lockup, a8 was also Moer, who stands charged with Interfer- honest Bank had ing aud aiding and abetting a prisoner to escape.
