Ag-the republican mass-mecting held last pight in the ball of the Cooper Institute one of ‘the prominent. speakers was Mr. Edwards Pierrepont. His speech may not have con- 4ributed much to the advantage of the repub- oan candidates in the approaching election, fut it wes noteworthy as forecasting the politi- al horizon in 1872. The portions of it in which +ho discussed the next Presidential election are those in which the public generally have an Anterest, and are to be found fully reported in | our columns, ) Mr. Pierrepont asserts it as his conviction, / Saeed upon close political observation, that the only chance which the democratic party ‘has of electing its candidate for the Prest- @enoy In 1872 is to nominate @ republican ; but he does not. think it will do that, Its ‘holce, as he believes, will be Senator Thur- man, of Ohio, As to the republican candi- Gate, he believes that none but General Grant ‘canbe the man, He regards that question as already settled. If not General Grant, who . @lse—he demands—can it be? Ho challenges the naming of any six persons, any one of “whom can possibly he selected as against General Grant; and he winds up by the declaration that, “if God spares the life of ‘General Grant, he will be the next President of the United States.” That is exactly the opinion held by the people, who make Presidents ; and if Judge Pierrepont will con- fine himself to predictions so certain of fulfil- ment he will run no risk of ever being ranked among false prophets. A Pore Marre or Frrenpsuir.—General Schenck says that, personally, he has no wish to contest Colonel Campbell’s seat in the next Congress as Representative from the Ohio Phird district; but he ‘is in the hands of his friends.” From the way his friends betrayed him at the last election one would suppose he must be anxious to escape from their hands as ‘soon as possible. ‘Save me from my friends” should be his motto, Gorp Down 16 110}.—The present price of gold brings back remembrances of the days before the war ; for the decline is so rapid and the proapect of specie payments go near that the old time of specie in every man’s pocket is aturally recalled, When the war ended he was a bold man who dared to say we should not have specie payments within five years. ‘The five years have passed.

Boston, Nov. 3, 1870, Wendoll Phillips delivered his second tecture on State politics tn Music Hall this evening. He said the journals had undertaken to criticise his resolu- tons, which he claimed the right to after thirty years’ labor in endeavoring to snape the policy of Massachusetts. Le had no apology to make, and did not moan tO be restricted after yeara of endeavor to smooth men dowa; he demanded the privilege of knocking them to pleces. The journals had ex- hibited some excellent indignation and had added #omo hard adjectives to bis name upon his state- ment of his purpose to disturb the repose of tho re- Publican party, Brains, he claimed, would rule Massachusetts, and if he could not convince the Intel. ligence of the State he should fail, He had a convic- lon that at the next or the succeeding Presideaual election the workingmen would holu the winning hand, ‘The strongest band was that m which no existed, and the weakest that which got mad first. He pever knew a cause that was fathered by the newspapers of Boston but what was bank- rapt in seven years, They took their ideas froin pavements, ‘Ihe new ideas were wo come from the sound timbers of tho republican dove its work, It was originally composod of advocates of free rum, temperance and free trade, democrats in principio and conservatives in feeling, from whose side issued the tdea of raising @ race from degradation.

A half million of these mon would poi for participation in @ conflict in wulch wey «i no malice. Having disposed of parties, Mr. Phillips pro- ceeded to clear up some rubbisa. He defended bis frend 8, P, Cummings from the charge of F. W. Bird, by saying that he thought it no harin to com- pare the former with the latter as a lobbyist in a good cause. but since Mr. Bird nad denied that he was a lobbyist the speaker took the Liberty of de- fining that class of politicians and classing them under the following herds:—Men who go into the Governor's Room with cigars ia = their = mouths, and in thetr shirt sleeves; who have keys to the Speaker's private room for the purpose of interviewing members; who publish newspapers in the interest of a particular legislative scheme; who write eaito- rials in Boston and request their publication in country newspapers as the spontancous sentiments of the rural districts; who ineet at Parker's and chat with members at midalgit over waiskey and Cigars on questions of legislauve Lmportauce, and who sit every Saturday inaclub composed of the principal poitticiaus. Mr. Bird would not accept these defiuit:ons, but when a poor man, tu the ta- terests of his brotner workmen, accepted a hotel btlt, he charged him with being one of that class, Mr. Phillips asserted that the bulk of lobby- ists in Massachusetts was composed of who wanted seats in the general court, but could not get them, and approached as near as they couid—schemers, busy- bodies and others ready for sale. He looked over the published past and present membership of tho “Bird Club,” and the only remarkabie features it presented were that at its head was name of hig lamented friend George Stearns, 0 never Would take an ofice, and at its foot was the name of George B. Loring, who wanted an office but could not getone.

SHOCKING DOUBLE Marder of an Old Mau by His Young Wite— Her Suaicide—Implication cf Othor Parties Terrible Affair. A fearful tragedy has been enacted in Montvilie township, Morris county, N. J. Mr. Henry Miller, an old and highly respectable farmer of the village of Taylortown, of the above named township, went, on Wednesday morning last, to his work in the woods, taking with him, as was his usual custom, has dinner in 2 small pall, While eating nis dinner at noon, and shortly after ho had swallowed only a few mouthfuls, he became sick at his stomach and noticed a peculiar and unpleasant taste to his din- ner. He therefore gave the rest of it to his dog, TRAGEDY. which had accompanied him; but, before the animal had had time to devour tt all, he, too, was taken sick and in lesa than five minutes was dead. Mr. Miller then made desperate efforts to return to his house, but was too weak to do so. He, however, by his shouts obtatned passing assistance and was carried home. On arriving at his house Mrs. Miller, who is hig second wife and is still quite young, was observed to. feel much more aggrieved over the death of the do; than of the dangerous condition of her husband, and appeared Cy A indifferent to his sickness. Mr. Miller lingered the evening, when he died, Several of the medical men of the neighborhood were summoned, and the body of the dog was opened. Traces Of arsenic in large quantities were at once found, aud @ consultation was held as to what course should be pursued. Mrs. Miller, who, all the time of tho investigstion had been an apparently unintereste) spectator, here was observed to go to the cupbeard of the room where the medical men w and to take outa plece of bread and butter, whfth she eat before them, She was immediately seized with fearful pains and Spasins, and speedily became insensible. She died at two o'clock the next morning. It then became lain that she had herself pi: the poison in Mr. uler's food, and had, when the finger of suspicion began to int towards her, taken herself of the poison and committed suicide. Her motive seems to have been to obtain possession of the old man's farm for herself and the children of her first hus- band. Coroner's inquest was immediately held, when it was elilcited that one of Mrs. Muller's sons, @ young man_ residing in the western patt of New York State, bad, while vialt jopney g few days ago, te ‘Put a Nefghborice debagle tho ounces of arsenic, the same paper in which it had been and partof the poison being found tn the cup- board from which Mrs. Miller took the food which killed her. Officers were immediately sent to secure hia arrest, but whether it will result in Oathint) bis knowledge of the intended crime or not cannot be ascertained as yet. The excitement in the peaceful neighborhood 1s intense, and crowds are surrounding the house, The inquest will be concluded to-day, should the purchaser of the poison arrive during the day i charge of the ofticera, PAOSPE:T PARK FAIR GROUNDS.

This celebrated naturalist gave an fllustrated lee. ture.at the roomsof the Brooklyn Young Men's Christian Association last night. There was a large audience in attendance, and everybody was deeply interested in the Professor's drawings and accom- panying explanations. Mr, Hawkins’ design was to show that the different great orders in creation are all organized upon the same pian. He said:—A cre- ation without @ creator is the most absurd paradox of which huinan vanity can concelve, As the ore- ator is one so there ia unit) ayes through all. ‘there 18 infinite variety, but tt us all the various Adaptations Of one pian, Every cubic inch of space ts filled with living inhabitants. Two or three American philosophers have lancied that “gy have produced life, but Huxby repudiates their philosophy, aud says that life must come from lie, A vegetable is highiy organized, but an animal bas will, wemory aud understanding. A friend of mine lu Eugiaud was in the habit of feeding some sea anemones—mere masses Of jelly, seemingly. 1 went with him, and in my turn ied thom. Not @ particle of food would they take. Again and again the experiment was tried, and invariably when my friend fed them they would put out arms to clasp the food, but when Jattempted it they were nonreceptive jelly. This Proved that they had will aud memory. ‘ Even that low-down thing did as he pleased, and if a sea ane- mone can be brought vo such @ state of recognition there 1s some chance for the lowest of our race. ‘rho pay, function of these masses of jelly is that of feeding and the higher organization has the same plau by which nourishment ts required first of all. In the second place, all creatures require oxygen, and this necessity seems to be recognized by ali the ereation but man. Mr, Hawkins showed by skilful drawings on the viackboard, that fish, reptiles aud the ma- matia are formed upon one great plan. Given @ brain and backbone, the Professor with his chalk would show his audience fish, flesh or fowl, an alli- gator in bis native mud or @ pig complete the smallest possivie curl of the tail.
