If there is any doubt about his being for Grant he con- sigers him a democrat, not entitled to any coni- dence tn the United stat not entitled to any post, tion in the Custom House and not entitled to any rights at all. (Laughter and applause.) Illustrative Of this individual let me tell you ‘A LITTLE ANRCDOTE. A few days ago a number of gentlemen were ap- ipecnsed to go to the financial capital of the count 9 see if they could not get capitalists to take nol of this levee auestion, On explaining their object they were told, “Certainly; you can get all the money you want for that purpose. We have in- forests down there, and we want the levee built.’ Everything went on beautifully; the committee “withdrew, Watting for the papers to be fixed up, in order that they might be signed, when what does Mr. Casey do but, tal ‘one’ gentleman by tne buiton-hole with one hand and another with the other nand, walked them off to a window, and says, “Are you for Grant?” ‘Are you for Grant?” (Roars oflanghter.) Idon't Know what the answer but I know the levee contract has not been si , gentleman was not long since in rouble himself. ‘The yw gem Central Committee unanimously demanded he should be removed from batag Sr Custom House with democrats, for appoint- ing Felix Herwig, who was known to be a democrat, hie chief depaty, Ail the members of the Legisiature recommended Mis removal; all the members of the State Committee and everybody else except me. The poor devil came to me and said:— “B00-HOO | He would never do so any more. (Laughter.) he Wonld turn out every democrat and put.in the mean- est. pel tied he could find.” I went right out and Pd ‘iiliam Baker here—(great laughter)—[Baker just been removed by Casey and was seated plougside the Governor) and he put nim in, 1 made up my mind that the attack On him was wrong, because I thought that an: man with democratic proclivities that could stomac! Bill Baker in office with him was sound on the Fooee, Persistent laughter.) These gentlemen, erwig and Casey, visited me time and again. ‘They told me they were going to stand by the re- that whatever I wanted done sbould pody who was @ friend of mine should be put in the Custom House, and everybody who was not a friend of mime should go out. 1 said to them, “Dry up your tears, my friends; 1 don’t want you to put friends of mine or enemies of mine in the Qustom House. I want you to PUT IN REPUBLICANS men that will stand -by the republican party, (Ap plause.) Men who will stand up and battle for puhlican principles, and not consider me as an indi- vidual or anybody else individually, but who will make the success of the republican party a para- mount consideration to everything else in the world.” He agreed to do it, and he was quieted in office. Iwrote to tne President a letter watch the President thought was conclusive that said C: must be a splendid fellow, an excellent republican, because he has the best endorsement in the State— namely, the Governor. (Laughter and cheers.) Casey remained and Herwig remained, and no sooner did they find themselves established than they went whoring with the very people who had sought to turn them out. ‘They turned all my friends out o7 one and declared war upon me, because they supposed 1 was not for Grant, was not in favor of renomination, This 1s not so. What I have be- eved I beliévé NOW; ANG aiucugh the events of the last lew days have SHAKEN MY CONFIDENCE somewhat in his judgment, or rather inthe judz- ment of his advisers, if he has been guilty of con- necting himself with this crowd in the Custom House to pack this convention—although in my opinion his Judgment has been at fault—I sul believe be is the best by the pep auras. party can nomi- nate in 1872. My friend, Jim Casey, is @ clever tel- low, He hasn’t sense enough to bad fellow. (Laughter.) A man tobe @ bad man must ha some character. Hé hasn’t any. (Much laughter.) That little hitce native of Jerusaiem, Fellx Herwig— (laughter)—leads him round by the nose and takes him up stairs and down statrs and puts him first in one corner and then in another and Casey doesn’t know while Herwig is doing all this that he is filhng the Custom House with his relations. Casey don’t Know to-day that Herwig's. brother is Chief of the Bonding Department; that a brother-in-law owns bonded warehouse No, 35; that another brother- in-iaw 1s Chief Weigner, and Casey doesn’t Know that Herwig has been scheming and plottiug and plan- nivg to get Ullman, another brother-in-law, ap- ees Chief Appraiser. (Laughier and cheers.) le DON'T KNOW ENOUGH to see that, with himself Chief Deputy, one brother Chief of Bonded Depariment, a brother-in-law + owning a bonded warehouse, another Chief Weigher and another Coref Appraiser, Felix Herwig could steal the United States as poor as a rat. (Lond and long continued laughter and cheers.) It was because I was not in favor of putting all Mr. Herwig’s brothers and brothers-in-law inw the Custom Honse that Herwig comes to the conclusion Tam not tor Grant, and he comes to Casey at mid- night and early dawn, at breakfast, dinner and sup- Tr, and says, “Casey, Warmotif aint sound on the rant qnestion, (Laughter.) He isn’t sound on the Grant question because he Js not in favor of put- ting brother-in-law Ullman tuto the Appratser’s Office.” (Laughter and cheers.) But even Herwig has some lucid intervals, There are times when the gun in all its force will brea& throuch the dark clonds of ihe Custom House. Herwig sometimes says, “Upon my soul] do believe Warmoth 1s in favor of Grant and 1s. SOUND ON THE NIGGER question. I believe there 13 a good deal raid that 1s wrong against him; but, by God! he wiil not let Casey and me make any money. Why he bad my name, notwithstanding was State Senator—he and his friends—and he ought to com troi his triends—had my name stricken out of the Levee bill, and it cost me ten thousand doliars to get incorporated in it.” (Laughter.) Just think of It! Doesn’t this prove I am unsound on the nigger juestion, and would you not hesitate after this be- fore Bending me to the next. National Convention, knowing I should vote against Grant? ‘Applause and langhter.) In the same speech Governor Warmoth said that George W. Carter, Speaker of the House of Kepre. sentatives, was a drunkard, @ liar, a gambier and a political bummer aud fliibnster, and.charged several others of his opponents with having offered him enormous bribes (in one case half a million dollars of shares and in another case $50,000 cash) to sign corrupt biils, and because he would not they de- nounced him.

According to young Harrington, who is the more intelligent of the two, they saw @ heap of stones piled up on the track by some little children who had been playing there, and this suggested to them the experiment of laying a coupling chain which they picked up on one track and an old chair on the other, Both of them positively swear that they did not think of throwing the train off the track, as they were sure that the coweatcher would remove the obstructions.

Robbing an Emigrant—Settling the Case—Tak- ing a Trunk—A fcrew Thief—Wanting on Owner—Chamberlin and Brennan. Before Juage Dowling. The notorious den at 146 Liberty street wasagain in Court yesterday, in consequence of a charge made By an old man named James Gorman and inis son Thomas, These poor men, who are laborers, arriveu in Jersey City on the 5th of August, 1869, on their way to Ireland, from the West. In Jersey, upon ledving the cars, they met a man who asked them where they were going to, and they answered innocently, “To Ireland.” He then told them he was a broker for a first rate firm in New York, and if they wanted any money changed or had not yet takep passage in a steamship he would arrange both forthem, The old man said they wou!d go to the ofce with him, which they did accordingly, and UPON GRITING THER they demanded to know what the exchange on Eng- land was, The man beliind the counter satisfied him upon that point and told him to hand over nis money quickly, as it Was getting late, fhe old man gave him $400, the combined savings of his son and himself for two years, and the man behind the counter told him that they must come back the next day for the change, as he had not time that evening to look after it. They went back next morning, but the oMlce was. closed, 80 they returned bn the 7th, but this time, altnough they found the ofice open and the men there, they were informed it was too | early in the day for business, The father and son then went out and strolied about fora couple of hours, when they again returned. The man who seemed to be the principal in the affairs then counted out SOME GOLD PIECES, and, putting them in a belt, took the younger Gor- man inside the coanter and strapped it under his clothes, telling him as he didit not to attempt to open it or take it off until he got on board the ship or he would be sure to lose it there were so many thieves about. The men did as they were directed, and when they were one day out at sea, secing all the passengers give their money to the purser, they Went to do 80 too; but when the purser came to count tho money he found thatthe men had been robbed of $192 92, ‘To add to their misfortune the vessel for Which these scouudrels had given them tickets was bound for Londonderry, and they wanted to go to Cork, giving them the additional expense of travelling through the length of Ireland to get to their homes, From the ume they got nome they have worked hard to get money enough to come back and PROSECUTE THE S WINDLERS who had treated them in this scandalous manner, First the son came out and labored away until he had saved enough to bring out the ola man, and then they both set to work at case with a dil. ligence that made Mr. James McCarran, trembie, tor a8 soon as he saw the Court offer hima chance to settle with the emigrants he jamped at the oppor- tunity, through his lawyer. The matter was settied for $200 by the advice of Judge Dowling, who saw distinctly if the case went on to trial the men could not convict McCarran for several reasons. Besiaes this, the Gormans only wanted to get their money back, a8 they had been taught a lesson this ume they never can forget. The face of the oficer who made the arrest during the settlement was a picture, as his hopes of a ‘“divy’ departed, as aid his wood humor, and he palled one of the wryest faces imaginabie as he tngged at the ends of his mustache.
