It was well that yesterday was divs non at Nar- fagansett Park, as the bright sunshine of this morning more than compensated for the annoy- nce to which the pluvial god then subjected anxious turfites and alt others wishing to attend the races. The day could not have been more ‘auspicious, and al) heartiiy enjoyed it, The driye to the grounds was as exiilarating as a bumper of Roderer, and many air faces, with charming figures, bright eyes and cherry Mps, be- hind chpping teams, indulged in this method Of speeding along the syivan shades of Elmwood to the scene of interest, There were a greater number present than on Tuesday and Wednesday combined, and once more the park looked like its former self, ‘The grand stand was comfortably filled, the lawn well sprinkled and (he spactous opening between it and the stables biack With carriages. It cannot be Genied, however, that tho present meeting has | been somewhat unfortun: both in the fields of contestanis and the attendance, when compared wiih previous reunions. To deny this and make Jalse statements with the design of misleading, displays bota poor judyment and lack of truthfulness. Notwithstanding this the trotting has been of an exciting and capital nature and some of the stroggles worthy of being placed among the noted exlibitions of speed and endurance on record, Again to-day 1t was demonstrated that notning 1s certain on the turf, and for “ways that fre dark snd tricks that are vain” a trot. ting horse 1s pecuilar, ‘the gentry who Invest their money liberally on favoriies were fearfully mistaken in the first race, and they lost bunches of greenbacks when it really seemed that they had the game in their own hands, Poor New York's repre- sentatives were ihe heaviest losers. THE FIRST TROT. The amusement began with the purse of $1,000¢ for horses tliat had never beaten 2:50, divided so as to give $6.0 10 the first, $250 to the second and $100 tothe third, Eniercd for this were tag's white gelding E: ston Boy, D.

The celebrated Dr. Augustus Peterman, projector and conductor of the German Polar expeditions, has leaders | said that “the discovery of the North Pole would be the crown of geographical aiscoveries.” For the | past 400 years this desired result has occupied the attention of geographers and scientists, and 1s again prorainently before the world by reason of the pro- posed expedition of Captain Hall. Attempts to find ® northwest passage have been made at dif- ferent times, beginning with Jean Caboi’s in 1496, followed in later days by Ross, Parry, Franklin, * Beicher, Sherard-Osborne, McClintock, Ingiefield, De Haven, Kane and our eminent com- patriot, Dr. Hayes, but the highest latitude reached Was seventy-eight degrees, Rensellaer Bay, where the Aavance, of Dr. Kane’s expedition, haa to be abandoned, after waiting three years for the ice to break ep. Willoughby, in 1558, reached eighty de- grees, in the d.rection of Spitzbergen and Nova Zembia, his further progress belug arrested by strong Poler currents, which were most dangerous on account of the immeuse arifis of ice. Captain Hall now proposes to try a passage to the Pole py Jones’ Sound. Tais M. Octave Pavy, member of the French and American Geographical Societies, holds | to be impracticable, im which view he 13 supported by Judge Daly, no mean authority on ‘such subjects, M.

Captain Hali says he will winter at eighty degrees, but if he reach so far there will be no reason for going Into Winter quar- ters, Gs at that cude oped Water is to be found according to Belcver, Austen, Penny and Stuart, He also says he will proceed on Hilesmere Land to the Pole (believing the land to extend so Ja!

Pavy, in the face of such proofs of the im- possibility of reaching the Pole by ettuer of the routes mentioned—by Spitzbergen, Nova Zembia, Suuitu’s Sound or Jones’ Sound—proposes to make ony by Bebring’s straits in @ northwesterly airec- ion.

He will take with him from San Francisco provisions sufficient to last the party til this land is reached, and then game, which 1s Known to abound there, will be hunted and @ large supply stored up for further needs.

Proposed Confederation of All the Civilized lribes. General Sherman Gives Good Advice to the Red Warriors. Unity and Civilization the Only Defence Against Annihilation. CHICAGO, June 16, 1871. Aspecial correspondent reports from Okmuigee, Indian Territory, Juno 6, the assembling of a gen- eral council of Indian nations to consider the pro- posed constitution. Enoch Hoag, Indian Superin- tendent, presided. Soon after assembling Geueral Sherman, General Marcy, Colonel McCoy and Colonel Tourteloite were Introduced and received with special honors. ADDRESS BY GENERAL SHERMAN, In response to a 1equest of a delegate General Sherman made a brief address, He complimented the delegates on the inteliigence and skill in debate which had been exiubtied by them in previous councils, He described the unsafe con- diuon of the Arrapahoes, the Apaches, the Chey- ennes, the Camanches and the otaer uncivilized tribes. They were in the way of the great thorough. fare leading from the Mississippi to the Pacitic shure, and in their wanderings they frequently came tnto collision with parties of the American people. His hearers clearly undersiood Low idle it was for any Power to seek to STAND IN THE WAY OF THR EXPANSION and growth of the white race. Their prethren had been crowded out of one State after another—the Seminoles froin Florida, the Cherokees from Geor- gla, the Shawnees, the Osages, the Wyandottes from Kansas—and still the American people, aided With constant accessions of population irom all parts of the world, were yet spreading out and forever demanding fresh territory in wich to found homes, The delegates he was addressing represented tribes Whohad @ country secured to une by treaties with the United States; 1t was as fair and as fine a country as the foot of man ever trod, ‘The population of that Territory did not exceed sixty thousand persons, and it was fully capable of sup- porting in abundance a population of sixty millions, It was @ finer couutry than Kansas; a finer couniry than Nebraska, Lt was equal in fertility to Illinois, The speaker believed in the white race, He knew tue American people 1o be aggressive, and, peruaps, violent; but he would have 1 wndersiood chat tiey vindicated their aggress:veness by their aucreasin industry and energy aud the carelui uses io Which they applied ail tiat they acquired. Me could see no Tease Wy the Indian sould not be the EQUAL OF THE WHITE MAN, His body was equally robust, and nts brain as ww,’ suid tie General, “what are you joy You are mec in council to aaopta jution, frame laws for the governinent o1 your territory, avd harmonize your Various tribes under one confederanon.

A CHEROKEE DELEGATE reported that the constl- tutiou had been transmitted to ihe Executive of tue Cherokee Nation jast February, but had been with- held by some unauthorized individual and not lvered until ten days ago, with the seal broke when it was too late to take action. According to the delegate’s belicf his nauioo would readily ratiy the constitution on its submission to them, REMARKS OF THE CHAIRMAN. The CHAIRMAN remarked that at the last session & constitation had peen framed and adopted wit great unanimity, which he believed, and which ticy ail believed, to be a good oue. ,There1s no doubt that that constitution would fave been contirmed and approved »y Congress, with possivly some few altera- tions. He wisheu to impress upon the minds of the dviegates the necessity of harmony and united ac- tuon. Many sincere inendsof the Indian race in Washington, in the Unt States, were anxiously jooking for the ra of the constitution.

In addliion to the pow- eriui capital the whole rude border element was STRIVING TO CROW “OUT, and already their northern border was overran hy unscrupulous intruders. He would remind them thatin union there was Strength, and the utmost heed existed for their urging upon the people to take prompt action in ratifying a constitation which should bind their social fabrics together and give strength and harmony to their relations as a united people, ‘The Chairman concluded a very excellent address by recommending the delegates to receive the Osages to their freindship. These peopie, he said, are friendly, confiaing and hospitabie, ‘They have been driven away from their homes in Kansas by the white race, who setiled upon their lands by thousands; and when they tound their hunting grounds Were mined and that either them: selves or their white neighbors had to move, they consented to leave their beautiful stream, their pleasant valleys, their suady forests, and more than all, their treasured burying ground, so that there might be peace between the two races, They have ‘iven un One home to the white man, and are now jiving ¢mong you in your territory.

AN ERA OF GOOD FEELING INAUGURATED. Work to be Generally Resumed July L WILKESDARRE, Pa., June 16, 1871, ‘This has been a grand gala day with the miners of the Wyoming region and the second anniversary of the succeesful issue of the basis movement has been observed with becoming pomp and circumstance. From early dawn there was a gathering of the hardy sons of toil, Uli (he streets were literally impassavle from the diferent bands moving to their places in the line of procession. It was thought that five months’ idleness had damped the ardor of the miners, and that the demcnstration would prove a failure; but the event has beca different, and it is to be recorded that the display was the largest and finest ever seen in this part of the State, It is esti- mated tuat about THREE THOUSAND MINERS took part in the turnout and created a most favcra- ble impression upon double tuat number of lookers* on on the siaewalks, It must be borne in mind thas this was a strictly local celebration, embracing only men employed in the mines paying basis wages, and only including territory inthe immediate neizh- borhood of this city, The districts represented were the Empire, Hollenback, Sugar Notch, Mull Creek, Laurel Run, Nanticoke, Plank Koad and others, ALL NATIONALITIES WERE REPRESENTED, and it was Interesting to notice the fraternal fcel- ing existing among the men, and observe how futile had been the efforts of those who sought to sur up national Jealousies and prejudices among men in order to carry out the bad plans of the great mo- nopolies of the Luckawanna valiey. The procession was formed at eleven A. M., and alter passing through the principal streets of the city tne tm- mense body moved to Dana's grove, where the ; speeches of the day were to be delivered. speakers on the occasion were I. B, who has proved himself a stanch of the miners in all their struggles; Jobu Parker, Jate editor of the miners’ organ at Tamaqua; Johu Kealey, president of the General Council, and HH, Park. Each of tt gentlemen made most appro. priate remarks, and in regard to which even the strongest enemies Of the miners could not cavil. Mr. Wright was extremely heppy in his relations Vetween capital and iabor, ana nis speech was ire- quently interra ted oy loud and long coannued ap- plause, Mr. Parker gave an account of matiers in Sehuyikill county. Presidenr tended bimseif against the — aspersions heaped on him by those doing the rough work of the Scranton corporations, and Mr, wards pke @ good word for the Weish mmers. ‘Yaken altogether, the mass meciing was a most pleasant avau, and gave great sauisiaction to all present. At tho close of the meeting the procession re- formed, and the various delegat.ons marched to their homes, perfectly delighted with the success of the afiair, ‘The banners displayed on the occa- sion were numerous and pertinent, but none offensive, Among the most significant nay be mentioned:—"We do not propose to press capital, and ere determined capital shall not oppress us,” “We kuow nights and mean to miautain them,’? “We shai tis plan til we can find a bert 7 When will the services In Scranton’? bretiren jo Lenigh,” * we the prop) predicted that our union would be ander a BIX jnonths?” and others of like character, Tho Wright, friend Kealey de- that Tae most perfect order Was maintained throughout tue | celebrati by their good conduct.

A meeting of merchants and bankers was held at the Chamber of Commerce yesterday afternoon, in answer to acall issued by prominent snerchants of this city, Who are desirous that tue Viaduct Ratlway should have its terminus at the South ferry instead of Chambers street.

Wyman Jones, George Kemp, P. M. Weimore and Paut Spofford. Mr. A. A. Low was chosen chairman, and briefly alluded to the object of the gathering, atter winch Edward Matthews addressed the meeting. He said that the total cost of the proposea Viaduct Ratiway Was estimated at $60,000,000, of which amount at least $50,000,900 would fall npoa the payers. ile could not concetve why a railway should end at Chambers street, or why the futerests of tho thou. | 8 in Wie lower part of the The cost of constructing 3 sircet to tHe Soutll ferry could not excecd 000,000, whereas if the line were extended to Pine street only, a3 had been proposed, the additional cost would be only $1,750,000, JTius sum Was surely trifling when com- pared with the interests at AN additional argument In javor of the extension of the road to the Battery was the project of establishing the Uus- tom House, bouded warehouses, &c., upon the water front, H. C. GaRDIVER sald that this city had already Jost half her Brooklyn trade, owing to the lack of communication with the upper part of the clty. The population of this city was also sudforing Irom the same cause. If the Viaduct Rail- road terminated at Chambers street how was @ connection to be had with the new wharves and bulkhead lines which were about to be estab. lished on the river front? The merchandise would still have to be dragged through the streets on wagons, with great expenditure of time and money. ‘The speaker then proceeded to argue that the grain and the coast trade were steadily decreasing year by year. lie claimed that these unsatisfactory re- sulla were due simply to the penis to which all gooda brought to thia city. were ex- j—breakage, theft, delay and the cost of insurance, All this will he changed when goods can be taken from the ships and placed upon trains which will convey them to all parts of the country. Trade will always come to that city where it can be carried on with the greatest ease, rapidity and cheapness, Seventy years ago the trade and population of Philadelpiia was larger than that of New York. To-day New York has dis- tanced her rival in every branch of indnstry and commerce, What was the cause of this remarkabie development?

B. CHITTENDEN denied that the trade of this island conld ever be taken away. The previous speaker had said that the grain trade of this city was deserting it for Brookiy: If it were 80 Brook- lyn was ey apart of New York, and would shortly, he betieved, be stl more closely identified with “it He aid not believe that Brooklyn could finish what she had undertaken in the reat Kast River bridge, and he believed that pefore A single toll was paid on the new bridge that the two cities would be part and parcel of each other.

The Crime Confesced—Stolid Indifference of the Culprit. Scones at the Scaffold—Ferguson Pree pared to Meet His God. Inmaca, N, Y., June 16, 1871. A pleasanter, brighter or more sunshiny day than is this the town has never Known, though it is the first ume it hus ever had a gallows up in twenty years, All the forenoon the streets were thronged with ladies and their beanx promenading, and some old inhabitants nave said that itis only once in a decade of years such a turnoutcan be seen. On in- quiring the cause the answer invariably was that @ circus was coming to the town that day, and thas FERGUSON WAS TO BE HANGED. Abont noontime the promenaders wended thetr Way towards the Park, near which stands the prison in which Fergason has been confined 80 long and in which the death penalty was to be car- Tied out according to law. At half-past twelve o'clock there was a motiey crowd gathered arourd, among them oeing some of the fairest girls in Ithaca and some of the very piain- est, all shaded from the heat of the sup by an admixture of original styles of wagons, country carts, canopled with huge umbreilas, and nomerous other nondesoript vehicles, The circus people must have found out that another sensation had priority, and wisely resolved to tent without the city; but there was not | Much sympathy for Mike Ferguson, the murderer of Jonathan Luuger and nis wile, among the assem, blage.

On the night of the 2is¢0f March, 1870, Ferguson entered the cabin of Jonathan Lungers, on the banks of Lake Cayuga, in wich Mrs. Lunger was at the Ume alone, and lg had a previous quarrel with Lunger’s wie, ratsed ab axe Which he had broughs With aim on purpose, aad with a YEW BLOWS KILLED HER.

He then ramvied his way along to his mo- ther’s fiouse, on (ue edge of ennsyivania, about Six miles from Coruing, But whie Ferguson was there disposing of himself the imluavitants of Ithaca were in @ state of the Wildest excitement, caused by the discovery of the douvie murder.

Next day Ferguson was arrested at 1s mother’s house, with a gun in his possession which he haa taken with him from Lunger’s hut. A coroner's inquest was at once held over the ashes Oi the inurdered pureuts, and the child gave her testimony. Ferguson was remanded and stood nis trial for murder in the frat degree 1n August, 1870, When he was convicted and sentenced to be han; on the 5th of the following November. A stay of proceedings, however, was procured in some way or Othez, and a new trial was held, and on the 1st of jast month Ferguson was again convicted and sen- tenced to the death penalty. Since then he has given up all hope of escaping from the gallows, HIS DEMEANOR IN JAIL has been rather one of indifference to his fate than such as might be expected from a criminal whose only chance of evading an igno.Xinious death lay vn the slender thread of his not having been accounta- ble for what he did. Litule of interest attaches to bis prison life beyond the fact that as the time drew near lor bis parting with the world he manifeste1 some little more attention to devotional exercises?

Soon the mexsured tread of the procession reached the jail yard, and a stillness of death mo- mentarily fell upon the spectators, All eyos were lurned tothe door through which the procession ‘Was to pass. ‘There were only a Jew steps between the door and the.scaifold.
