Meeting of the Stockhotders of the New Jersey Railroad—Majority For the Lease. The stockholders of the New Jersey Kailroad held & meeting yesterday at Jersey City, which was designated the regular annual meeting, but which was really the gathering of the tribes around the dying bed of old Camden and Amboy, There was a lachrymose expression about the faces or @ few men of the olden time as they began to realize that the former things had passed away. Dudley 8. Gregory was there, an advocate of the preservation of self-gov- ernment in the New Jersey companies; so were Nehemiah Perry and Martin A. Howell, and above all Judge Black, of Mount Holly, who made himself heard on the lease quesiton, He was on his fect throughout the entire discussion, though he ts an old man, and, like the prophet in Nineveh, warned his hearers to the last against the ruinous conse- quences of the proposed lease. He gave FACTS AND FIGURES, and though frequently interrupted, maintained his protest against being called upon to witness the Signing of their death warrant as a corporation pos- sessing the finest railroad in the country. John C. Stevens, of Trenton, a chief of the old railroad oc! led in under full canvass for the lease, while “Pete” Duryea, of Newark, executed some admirable sparring manceuvres and somersaults, while entertaining the meeting to a narangue in favor of the measure, ‘Pete’ passes for a wit, and in his effort to cajole the stubborn old gentleman of the opposition into a submission to the imevitable, he was pe ReNSU ay successiul. Voor.ees, the good old anchorite, shook nands with “Pete’’ on the ques- tion, and, as they both passed out of the shade of the departed, ‘Pete’? triumphanuy cried out, “A great day for New Jersey!’ Voorhees responding, “and for Pennsylvania.” OPPOSITION WAS FRUITLESS, as it was evident the destroying angel had passed over the assemblage during the morning hour. “No use,” said Perry; “tne thing is evidently fixed.” And Nehemiah leit for Long Branch, without waiting to drink, like the others, to the days that are over. An election for directors was held, and the following gentlemen were chosen:—Dudley 8, Gregory, Henry R. Remsen, Hamilton Fish, Alfred L. Dennis, George R. Chet- woot, Martin A. Howell, Ferdinand Suydam, Nehe- miah Perry and Isaac W. Soudder. There was only one ticket, and the result is an overwhelming vote in favor of the lease. The number of shares voted on Was 43,817, Of these Gregory fell benind or was “scratched” to the number of 1,046, Perry 977 and Bowell 69, Of account Of thelr Opposition to the lease, THE VIADUCT RAILWAY. Meeting of the Board of Directors—One Million Three Hundred Tuousand Dollars’ Worth of Stock Subscribed. A fully attended meeting of the directors of the Viaduct Railway Company was held in the Gov- vernor’s Room of the City Hall at two o'clock yes- day afternoon, the president, Henry Hilton, in the chair. The minutes of the last meeting were read, and a report was presented from the Committee on Bylaws. The subscription books were then opened and stock was subscribed for as follows:— A. T.

A resolution was passed inviting Leopold Fidlitz and Jonn J. rrell, the engineers of the company, to be present at the next meeting, Which will be held at two o’clock on Wednesday alternoon. The meeting then adjourned. THRE WASH it. Osgood, re- On his TON GIFT SCRE: The New York Agent’s Statement~How the Foundling Asylum Came to be Named— Postponement of the Concert. Asa result of the denial put forthin the Heratp afew weeks since relative to the “Grand Gift Con- cert and distributions of prizes,” to take piace in Washington, D. C., for the benefit of the Founding Asylum of the Sisters of Charity in this city and the Soldiers and Satlors’ Orphans’ Home, Washing- ton, D.C. Mr, P. C. Devlin, New York agent of the scheme, makes the following explana- tion:—He claims that a meeting of tne commissioners—ex-Secretary of the Treasury Hugh McCulloch, George T. Castle and James S. Negley—was held at his oilice, ,ten- dering him the New York agency for the enter- prise, which at first was only for the beneft of the Washington charity. He declined it unless they Would name some New York charity to have an equal share of the profits. THE FOUNDLING ASYLUM WAS NAMED and Mr. Devlin accepted the agency. The names given as committee, &c., are those of most trust- worthy gentlemen, The good Sisters, Mr. Devlin also claims, stated that they were in want of money, and would be glad of any resulting from an honest enterprise, but did not wish to give it an official sanction. A great many tickets at five dol- lars have been sold, and it only remains to be seen that both charities receive a just moiety of the surplus. From the following letter it will be seen thas THE CONCERT HAS BEEN POSTPONED from to-day until the 27th day of July next:— WASHINGTON City, June 7, 1871. In consequence of the brief period between the date of obtaining the permit from the Commissioner of Internal Revenue (23th April, 1871) and the day advertised for hold- ing the concert (7th June, 1871) the undersigned, eommis- sioners and trustee, find it necessary to postpone the con- cert and distribution of gifts “untii tue 27th of July next, it was impossible fn #0 short & time to’ establish agencies and complete the sale of the advertised number of tickets. In making this nouncement we are pleased to state that the rapid sale of tickets up to this date demonstrates the public confiden: and gives assurance that there will be no need of further postponement, The extension now made will, ta our judg- ment, be ample for the dispesal of the balance of tickets yet on hand. We will simply add, in conclusion, that the pro- ceeds are under the contro! uf the commissioners, for the security of all ticket holders. Tn all other respects the pub- lished notices tn relation to this concert and distribution will be carried out. Tickets dated the 7th of June, 1871, will be good for the concert aud distribution at Washington, D. C., on July 27, 1871. ULLOUGH,) Commissioners. rustee. Agent, N. Y. WEATHER REPORT.

HE DEFENDS POOR LO VIGOROUSLY The Camp Grant Affair a Whole- sale Murder, How Interested Citizens Approach the President. , Experience of a Herald Cor- respondent. S. S. COX ON THE FLY. Wsst Pornt, June 7, 1872. Abont a dozen diers assembled at the dock at the foot of Vestry street, New York, last evening to see the President of his party embark on the Mary Powell for West Point. They did not have much to see. General Grant, with his wife, father and Misa Nellie Grant, drove up ina hack a few minutes be- fore the boat started and bustled on board throug the crowd like other but less distinguished citizens, Ihappened to be going up the river at the same time and in due course hada little talk with the General. I was wandering about the forward deck With an unbitten cigar in my mouth, when a most wretched hat, shining over the fire of an excellent cigar, attracted my attention, The hat and the cigar were the property of the President of the United States. For foolish Freuchmen the scene on the deck would have afforded an excellent lesson. They would have understood by a few minutes’ ob- servation how, among thinking and reasonable re- publicans, liberty is never outraged by license. The President of the United States of America stood smoking and smiling with a hand on the side of the boat, looking at the crowd on board and on the mag- nificent panorama of the river and towering hills. He was no better than any other man there, and looked as if he thought so. There 1s an immense number of Fourth of July orations stuck in the “crevices of Grant's coat, and the Glorious Bird seems, a3 one looks at him, to have entire possession of his unfashionable and batcered hat, Iam satis- fled he would prefer A QUIET SMOKE AND A CHAT with a good fellow who thoroughly understood wood chopping, tron-moulding or tanning to an interview with an inane haw-haw jackass with @ pedigree, but who knew nothing. That is my opinion at least. 1 believe he properly represents the average American of our day. <A better type of @ man and a citizen may be presentea us in future years, and Grant wiil, if he survives lis annoyances, vote for him, But Graut ts not as good as he might be. He thinks enough, but he ought to speak more. He cat shrug his shoulders in contempt of possible consequences, or wink or smoke away a _ possessing Presidential sin, This particular sin ts silence. Until he was persuaded to speak through the HERALD on matters of moment, the citizens of the United States thought him to be something entirely ditfer- ent from what he really is, He will now be better understood. These thoughts occurred to me as I watched the crowd gazing on tie President and noticed the badgered Chief Magistrate writhing in agonized ex- peciation of an interview. <A red-headed country- man was staring intently at him, and a miserable looking son of sculapius smiled under ancient spectacies and winked persistently at all around him. Smokers are attracted together by a feeling that cannot be expressed by any lover of the weed nor yet understood by any who loathe its fragrant flavor. And so, being a smoker, I marked outa burning light tn the cloud of faces, and after much worrying of my coat tails was shoved against the President, His cigar was very good or the trip was very slow. The Presidential mind was still, A calm prevailed under the President's hat. The eye of the red-headed fellow in spectacles was ever on Grant, and the effect was baa. “Why on eartn,’’ I satd, alter greeting the Presi- dent, “do you allow those people to botner you? Why not tell them to go away?” “Why should I?’ said the President inreply. “I suppose these boys are intelligent enough. They are citizens, and have a right to speak to the per- son who happens to be the first citizen of the States if they please. No, I like to see them. I don’t know how tney regard me, of course, but they are pa- triotic enough to be respeciful to the Cutler Magis- trate of their country.” “Have you ever remarked, Mr. President” —— “Excuse me; look at that old man there in the crowd, Know who he ts?” “Few men have their business expressed on their backs, Mr. President; I don’t know him.’ “FINE OUD FELLOW THAT ! He used to blacken my boots when 1 was a cadet, He knows everybody around here." “Suppose we get him to black our boots, Mr. President. I want to see a friend of the President shine.” “Thank you. Wait until we get to West Point.’” “He has rather an Indian face, has he not?” “yes, he is a pecullar man; but there are few Indians as shrewd as he,’ “Lhope he is not an Apache. It would not be pleasant to meet an infuriated redskin thirsting for the biood of his Great Father.” “See his hand placed over the small of his back |” “He 18 scratching. Mr. President, or feeling for a bowie knife that he has not got. What is the matter ?”” The President putfed smoke vigorously and hung on to the stanchion, while I went forward to see the Tow. Italy and Ireland were in conflict on the forward deck. An Italian gentleman with an instrument of many tunes was hammering on six flexible keys. A gentleman from Ireland, with a splendid brogue and excitable temperament, was vainly trying to urge @ quicker measure, “The divtl scatther ye," said the irate Hibernian. “What de ye mane? How kin a man dance to that? Be jabers 'tis the melancholiest tune ever { heard. Hang yer dirty Italian sowl, give us the ‘Harp of Erin,’ or something that I can dance to.’’ “Pine, be gor!’ exclaimed the frisky Hibernian asthe Italian squeezed from his folded bagpipes a weak imitation of the “Limerick Races.”’ ‘Be jabera, I wish the Prisident wor here; it’s meself wud like to show 'm the facility of me foot,’’ The President laughed heartily, and remarked to me that the funny Hibernian was frisky. “Yes,” I said; “but he is not dangerous. That man 1s not bent on mischief; he wants fun, and fun he'll have. You do not understand the race to which that man‘ belongs, Mr, President, and you ought to, They are A GRIBF-STRICKEN NATION; but give them a chance to langh and they will laugh 1onder than all others. They are funny, and could joke you into the White House for asecond term If they liked.’? +See,” sald the President, nastily, “how beautt- fully the shadows fall down toward the shore from those high bluffs! The scenery is magnificent. 1 never saw the Hudson look more beautiful.’ “Have you ever been on the st Lawrence?” 1 asked, ‘The scenery there Is magnificent.’’ “L have travelled from Montreal up the river, but I never was below. Certainly, the scenery 1s very fine, but it does not, 1 think, equal this.” “[ differ with you, Mr. President.’ “Well, perhaps—" “1 don’t think you can appreciate, Mr. President, the pleasure of being able to give & flat contradie TST WITH SUPPLEMENT; | von to the Chief of the repuplic on a matter of taste. It makes me feel that there is wort while being a citizen."” “There 1s a great deal of nonsense written about me. [don’t want to do any more than carry out the wishes of the American people as they are pressed through their representatives and the press. I try to observe the oath of office I took when inau- gurated, and I believe I have succeeded, What good I have done the credit is to the people; the fauits of the administration are mine, My faults have come TO THE FRONT AND CENTRE, What good I have done is under guard in the rear. It remains with the people to aecide on the merits and demerits of my administration.’ “Look at that man, General,’ I then said; “he Wants to see you or me —I don’t know which. He is weeping tears of sympathy through his spectacles.” “1 guess I'll throw away my cigar and go upstairs and join the ladies,” said the President, “He wants to see you, sir,’ [ suid, “Had you not better see him?” “Weil, yes."” ‘The red-headed man then slided up and crawled round to my side of the stanchion, Pulling me vio- lently by the coat tall, and peering round earnestly into my face, he said that he had been looking at me for a long time, and wanted to see me particularly. “You are thick with the Prestdent ’' he whispered, inquiringly. “immense |’! I replied. “United States Minister to Dulth.’’ “Don’t say! I want to fix matters witn you," he returned. “H—v—s—h !'! Lanswered, ‘He'll hear you. Go io “T want to be introduced.” ‘rhe President was smiling grimly behind the post, and must have heard this and OUR SUBSEQUENT CONVERSATION. He smiied and sald nothing. “Mr. President,” I sata, “this gentleman has ap- proached me for an introduction to you. He does notsecm co have spirit enough to introduce himself, Will you see him?” “Yes, certaimly!”” And then, a3 the countryman warped his bulky body round the post to which the President hung teuaciously, there was a dead pause. The red- headed man opened wide his eyes, but speedily shut them with a snap, the smoke from two cigars being too much for him. He spoke, however, with vim. He was concerned about the frontier and had been worrying himself into a little fever concerning the Indian policy of the President. Hoisting his faming beard up into dangerous proximity to the white end of General Grant’s cigar, he asked “what the Indian business meant?” The President replied that the Indiaa policy of the administration was working well. “Mr, President,’ I whispered, ‘tits flery-headed citizea bas struck oil politically. You have underta- ken to quiet the savages on the Plains and you will have to doit. He wants to know what the Quakers are dolug; perhaps he is @ Broadbrim,”” “Mr. President,” sald THE RED-NEADED CITIZEN, tremblingly and excitedly, “air you goln’ to ‘low this ere thing ? I kum from the ‘tertor of the State. I want tosee tue Indians have fair play, and when Isee what 18 a3 should’at be, and men Livin’ oghter be dead, and things on these here Plains goin’ to hell, Mr. President I feel like ’bout blub- berin’ right out, so heip me.’” The President indicated, with a thrust of his thumb, that the friend of poor Lo had better shed nis tears over the pulwarks. ‘The red-headed man got sick.and incoherent, and for the remainder of tne evening was a source of amusement to the deck hands onthe boat. “General,” Lsaid, after the man had rolied out of our way, “that poor fellow has au idea in his head, but he can’#express it, ‘iat Indian matter must be settled up.” “There 18 no settling up about it,” said the Presi- dent; “I want to see the frontier quiet. I think 1t can be made quiet without shooting the Indians,” “What would you do with them ¢’? “Make them obedient to the authority of the United States. Grape, canister and rifle bullets are the proper remedies for marauding braves. No, sir; you are like all young men, Your remedy for pressing difficulties 1s to siam bullets around,” “Excuse me, Mr. President. Iam not young, and I don’t like bullets.” «Those people,” sald the President, after a pause, “who clamor for THE DESTRUCTION OF THE INDIANS on the Plains either are interested or know nothing of the condition of afairs in the wild regions where the Indians live, I have lived with the Indians and Lknow them thorougtly. They car be civilized aud made iriends of the repubiic, It takes tact and skill, however, to deal withthem, They are shrewd and cunning and won't be shaved out of thetr rights if they know it. My policy is peace. When I said, ‘Let us have peace,’ I meant it, I want peace on the Plains as everywhere else. That man was in earnest when he came to see me, and I sup- pose he wanted to talk of the Camp Grant affair. That attack on the Apaches was murder, purely.” ‘Phe Apaches, Geveral, are irreclaimabie, are they not ’—the Ishmaels of the Plains.”” “They are warlike—that is, the young savages ‘wander off to rob and murder occasionally; but no doubt they have provocation. 1 will investigate the massacre of the Apaches at Camp Grant and be just to all concerned. The Indian question is not one that the government should be called upon to settle. The citizens of the outlying States and Territories ought to be able to fix that.’ “The Quakers, Mr. President, are working hard to reclaim the Indians.’? “The Quakers are doing well, have done well, and will do more, Other denomnations of Christians are also laboring with effect among tne India They are all laboring for the same end, and J will give them all the support Ican. Idon’t like riding over and shooting THESE POOR SAVAGES; I want to conciliate them and make them peaceful citizens. The policy of peace, sir, is much prefer- able to the policy of war. You can’t thrash peopie 80 that they will love you, even though they are [n- dians. You, however, make enemies friends by kindness. Isn't that right 1" The President here looked squafely round and his face beamed with smiles. ‘We are near the Point, I suppose,” he said, “I shall be allowed to have my son with me all day next Sunday. I saw what was said about him in the HERALD. That was fair and correct, I believe. Fred will have to row his own boat trrough life, and as his father I, of course, shall be glad to see him row well. Lexpect to see him pass lis examination creditabiy.” At this point in the conversation a thin and hugely spectacied gentleman broke from a crowd of silent observers before us and aavanced to the Pre- sident. He winked at the President and pinched me. “Here is @ fine change of gliding down to the level of a member of Assembly,”’ thought I. The gentleman had an immense deal to say, but THE SPLENDID SPERCH he had ready got tangled into a Knot in his throat and stopped there. I felt like patting him on tne back and footing him in oraer to start the direful scene. ‘The President looked at the poor man a few minutes and then went away. I had to bear the brunt of the citizen's annoying gaze. “You are @ great friend of the President's,” he sald, as goon as he was able to talk. “Yea,” I answered; “he has just made me Am- bassador to Turk’s Island or Turkey, I don’t remem- ver which.
