You must know that the Legislature which ineets here in afew weeks will elect a Senator to succeed Dr. Miller, who, by the way, ts saldto have lirawn $16,000 for four days’ services, his term ex- piring four days after his admittance. Well, a part of the plan 1s to get the Legisiaiure to elect Bei and to bring this about the “new departurists” jare working like beavers. Ii they can find a suf cient number of “new departure’ democrats among the members they may succeed, but I aouot very much if they can. HOW THE OLD THING IS WORKING. I wrote in my last letter that Joe Brown had been Drought to the front, and T now express the opinion ‘that he wHl be the Get he (lave republican) can- ‘didate for Governor. have heard men say thay Joe is “a durned rascal;” but I have never heard ‘@ny person say that he is ‘a durned fool.” He is really w very clever man, a pleasant companion and an adroit politician. Furthermore, he is ‘‘as mild a manaered man” as the old Greek pirate in “Don Juan,” and ts a8 sleek and oly as an applicant for Budscriptions to enavie a religious society to send a issionary to the Fiji Islands, ‘Joe, sit,” said a jorth Georgian to me yesterday, as he squirted a ‘gailon of tobacco juice into an adjacent corner, #Joe Brown 18 just about the cunningest scamp In Georgia;"' and I believe he fs right. True enough, he has more enemies in this State than any man I know of tn public life; but he is virtually master of the Western and Atlantic Railroad, which run turough we heaviest democratic § dis- tricta’ of Georgia, where there are few egroes and many white men. He also has the junuence of the “Air Line” road at his back, and he supposition 1s that the Bruuswick aud Albany nd Macon aad Brunswick influence will be given im. Joe Brown is gu ambitious man. He would ike to be a Senator in Congress, but he knows that the preseat Legisiature won't toach him with a ten foot pole: hence he has resigned his Senatorial as- Piration with a sigh and is working for the ee hatorial chair. At present he 1s cultivating North Georgia, which was formerly lis favorite battle ‘Bround. He attends all public meetings in that sec: Hon, participates in the discussions at the sesaions of agricuitaral societies, and the style in which he wodules the farmers is acaution, He no longer tells ghem, a8 he told the Republican Nationat Conven- ion at Chicago in 1868, shat having been a seces- lonist in 1360, it was only natural for him to be @ publican m 186%, On the contrary, he 1s touci ingly conservative, and eschews politics in word, mie recommending Aimself politically tn meent, His speeches are eseays on what ne Knows about farming, and when he ‘advises the farmers to plant grass and make their own hay, he is really hard at ‘Work “making bay while the suo shines’ for him- Bele aRYING TO SPLIT THE DEMOCRACY. Josnua Hil, one of the Sevators in Congress, also weeks the nomination for Governor, but Josh'can’t | get it. Brown has the wires tn his hands and is ullmg them energetically. Should he be noint- ated—and I believe he wit! be—next year will wit- mess the most exciting campaign ever held in exertions to split the democracy. Rumor has it that. aney have bought up some of the democratic papers. of the State, which will, at the proper time, come out in their (avor; but I doubt the story. it is cer- Rain, however, that the democracy of Georgia are not united on the ‘new departure” question. An overwhelming majority of them oppose it, and they, headed by such influential men as Toombs and Sie- hens, will control the convention witch nominates ‘he candidate for Governor, and you may aepend Upon it that the platform will insist upon an ad- Derence to the principles laid down in New York in 408. The “new departurists” are manoeuvring to ring about the withdrawal from the convention of Bil Chose delegates who beheve in accepting Mr. ‘Valianaigham’s platiorm, and persuading them to @oalesve with the third party.

To THE EpIvor OF THE HERALD:— Long before this reaches you you will be in pos- session of the news concerning the grounding or running ashore of the United States steamer Guer- riere on Vado Shoals, sixteen miles southeast of Leghorn. This rather sad accident to our noble ship occurred about ten minutes before four o'clock on the afternoon of July 26, in broad daylight. It is evident that somebody is to blame for this sad oc- currence; putit would not be judicious for us, even ifwe were aware of tne party to blame, to make known the fact, and 1 hope the public will not be too hasty im condemning our cap- tain or any of our officers until the matter 1s duly investigated before the proper authorities for such matters, where, doubtless, the full blame, if any, will be attached to the parties so to blame, and no doubt the punishment due in suc cases will be properly administered, Allow me here to bear testimony to the almost superhuman efforts of our captain, officers and crew to resoue our noble suip {rom her pertlous position — efforts which were rewarded by the floating off of 3 siitp at half-past five o'clock P. M,. saturday, uly 29, Everything that could be done and that human ingenutty could suggest was done to save the vessel and the property aboard of her. All naval formall- les jor the thine were put aside, and the officers mungied and vied with the blue jackets in working to ease the vessel. Many were the jokes passea upon them by “Jack,” as he looked upon their rather delicate hands handling ropes and hawsers, and pulling with might and matn. Two Italian men-ol-war, the Cambria and Europa, rendered us great assistance and stood by us until tuey brought us sately to Spezia. As yet we cannot give any information as tothe amount of damage done. In a short time we go into dry dock, where a proper survey will be made and of which I will give you ali the informaiton £ can obtain, Never did a crew work with so much right good will to save a ship under similar circum. glances as our crew did on this occasion. Seventy- two hours hard work, witn little or no rest, and for Rourishment a drink of coffee and a biscuit, but despite ali this we succeeded in getting the ship oif the reef, amtd the most deafening cheers of our crew, mingled with those of the crews of the Italian ships. The vessel labored very hard for twenty- four hours after running ashore, but for the balance of the time she rematued as easy as if blocked up in a dry dock.

Alarmiog State of Affairs in Newark—Ruf- fianism Let Loose. In Newark, for a considerable time past, it seems to have been reserved for Sunday to witness a greater cropping out of ruManism than the entire six week days put together. Yesterday was far from being an exception to the rule; it was dis- graced by an outgrowth of lawlessness which places Newark in a most unenviabdle light in the eyes of her moral glorifers. Up to seven o'clock last evening there was scarcely a prisoner brought to Police Headquarters Who was not more or less covered wilt blood, THE MOST SERIOUS CASE may yet prove ahomicide.

Free Speech Vindicated—No Riot, Cousiderable of a Rumpus, but We gafeer the fotiowing particulars of tie recent tronbies amoug the’ citizens of Ogdensburg, N. Y., from she papers ot that piace: pug re Latter part ot last week, saya the Joe nal of she ith, the city was billed by placards, stat- ing that “Baron de Camin’ would deliver orations on Auricuiar Confession and Popery, at Lyceum Hall, on Tuesday and Wednesday évenings. ‘tue bills stated that oue of these orations would be de- livered before men only, leaving the reader to make his own inference as to ita subject matter. We are informed that Father Mackey, of St. Marv’s Izish Catholic church, and also Father Jeannotte, of the French Catholic cuurch, during the service on Sun- day, both cautioned the members of them respective congregations to keep away from the Baron's lec- | vure, and in every way refrain from anything that should tend to disturb or interfere with his meeting. About the hour for the opening of the meeting on Tuesday evening @ slight disturbance occurred on the street by a loud discussion between a couple of excited persons, Which ended in a litile hootmg. A Considerable number of persons attended the lec- ture or oration, ‘The meeting was organized by ap- +pointing W. L. Thompson, chairman. The *Baroa'’ had proceeded wit his remarks to near tne close without the least sign of disturbance or dissatiafac- tion wheu those in the hall noticed an unusual noise on the stairs, and immediately afterwards the door opened andin walkedeabout eighty persons, men and boys, who went forward and ‘took seats | nearest the stage. ‘The speaker turned and asked the chairman if he should proceed, and was Fold to goon. Soon afier the speaker Was hissed. He retorted by say! that he knew of but two tings that hissed—to wat, the serpent and goose. Mr, Thompson called to order, saying that the meet- ing must not be disturped, and those who did not like the remarks could retire, A scene of confusion then ensued, in which the men and boys who had entered the hail made a rush for the stage, and those who had been present during the evening | started to protect the speaker. From all we can leara the proceedings were most exciting, and dur- ine them the Baron was taken to the anteroom, Nobody received injuries, though threats were made. The persons who created the disturbance, we are told, forced their way into the hail. Aiter they | went in nothing was said calculated to irritate or Offend, and there was consequently not the slightest excuse for their act. The Mayor was summoned, and every precaution taken to maintain peac A carriage was procured and the Baron conveyed to | hes boarding house, There can be no doubt the disturbers entered the hall for no proper motive, and they should be held respousible for their act. ‘The interruption of the meeting created the great- est deyroe of excitement among the Protestant por- ton of the community, and hundreds who would | not otherwise have given the “Baron’’ ear, deter- mained to attend the second lecture, if for no other purpose than to vindicate tne right of free speech. | Durmg the afternoon of Wednesday Paron de Camin | issued in a handbili an appeal to American citizens, | calling upon them to come out and defend him in the right io speak. Some time in the course of the day Judge A. B, James, who ta tbe controiling owner of the room, notified the Baron that he could not have the hall on Wednesday evening. ‘This fact was known only by afew, and avout, the hour an- nounced for the lecture crowds of men started lor the hall, to find it closed and learn that tt would vot be opened for the purpose of the Baron's lectare. ‘The announcement led to the expression of a variety | 01 opinions as to the ultimate efect of this decisio; About the hour for the lecture Baron de Camin a peared atthe entrance of the hall, but was taken mto custody by the police by direction of Judge ; James, and conveyed to the ‘police headquart The omicers were followed by a owd, who hooted and shouted like @ pack of savages. | This crowd , lingered about the police headguarters tll a ia’ hour, At a score of points along Ford street knots and crowds of men of all religious faiths and di nominations collected, and earnestly and dk Passionately discussed’ the propriety and efect ot the proceedings which had taken piace im connection with this man’s visti to tis city, 4t is apparent to every one that a deep- seated feeling exists among Protestants that an outrage has been committed upon the mght of free Speech, and the opinion 1s entertained by republi- cans and democrats alike, aud there is adeep-settied determination to defend the man in the exercise of this right. About ten o’clock the crowd became so greatat the pouce headquarters that Judge James ordered it to disperse, stating that it they did not go quietly to their homes, he Would appoint a large force of policemen and take them into custo Tnis had tue desired effect, 1or the crowd av once dispersed, The Journal of the 18th “The proceedings of Weanesday evening intensified the excitement already existing m Us community growing ont of the dist¥rbance of De Camun's meeting and the re- } fusal to permit him to occupy Lyccura {tall an the avs | | | | | | by the Mayor, who | latier evening, and the Mayor deemed it prudeut to take extra steps to preserve the public peace, He therefore, on Thursday morning, issucd Une Lolluw | ing proclamation:— Whereas there have been manifestations o racter in our city for the past two nights, o nierruption of a public meeting; aad whereas public teeling 18 now In such # state of excitement, further and per- haps serious trouble may be apprehended.

PROCTOR, Mayor, A special meeting of the Common Counct) was called lor tweive M., at which time ev mem- ber of the Common Council in the city was at nis post. ‘Tne Mayor stated the object of the meeting to be the adoption of measures tor preserving we public peace and protecting life and property. To secure the force necessary to do tus seveuty-two special paycemen were appointed. While the Mayor and Common Council were tak- ing these precautionary steps to preserve the public peace Baron de Camin made eiforts to secure a hall for an address on Thursday night. Mr. Charies BE. Clark, proprietor of Eagle Hall, who was at the | marshes on Black Lake, was sent for and came to the city. Application was iade for the use of ts hall; but he fipaily declined to rent it, All day ‘Ihursday the question of free speech was pretty thoroughly discussed, and a great many expressed a determination to vindicate it, ana we have no doabt would have done so had a hall been secured for the speaker. There is a profound and deep-seated feeling among the Protestant portion of the community which no one atreiapts to disguise, that right ot pab- lic assembly and iree speech has ‘tn some way been iged, and they speak ft out’ wher- : more get together. Up to the present | riting we have vot beard a single Roman Catholic, French or Irish, justify the disorderiy and violent entrance to the hall, and the subsequent riotous as- Sault upon the speaker, On Tuesday night, but we have heard hundreds of them denounce, most em- phaticaily, the guilty parties on that occasion. Kvery sensible and right minded man, no matter What fis creed, knows that liberty and freedom can | be preserved only by the vindication of iree speech, He Will, thereiore, by advice, influence and force, if | hecessary, do his Utmost to protect this right. When the Council adjourned two of the policemen were detatied to notily ihe persons appointed as speciai policemen to meet the Mayor at the police headquarters a ast six P. M., tor the purpose of swearing in an ceiving their badges of omfce. Atthe appointed sthing over one hun. dred and thircy special policemen appeared and were sworn Il. Previous to taking the oath, they were addressed | they had been selected for the purpose of preserving order, bat would not be | cailed upon to act until their services were neces | sary. They would, however, hold themselves in readiness (o respond to his call or that of the Chier of Police at any Moment. They would continue to act until notitied that they were no longer necded. ‘About half-past seven P. M. application was made tothe Mayor for the Town Hall, for the purpose of tue Baron’s lecture. He reptied that he had no au- thority to let it for such purpose; that it was no rt of his duty to find a piace for any one to speak. That be was charged with the duty of coer the rignts of individuals and the public and shoul do 80. There was, therefore, n6 meeting on Thursday night. However, the stieets were thronged with men, women and children, who came oui to attend the meeting, in case one was to be held or to see what was going on. All were quiet and orderly, and retired peaceably to their uomes on hearing that there wasto be no meeting. It was understood, however, that “Saron de Camin’’ would speak at the Rink at four P, M. on Friday. In endeavoring to give # truthful and accurare account of affairs as they have existed in this city since Tuesday, it is highly proper to say that notwithstanding the deep-seated and demon. strative feeling which has manilested itself, there have been ho unlawiul proceedings other than that which occurred tn the hati Tuesday night. Baron de Camin has circulated ireely through the streess, nobody seeking to molest or disturb nim in any way. We believe he wiil oe permitted to make his address and pass on without further molestation, That appears to be the determination of the authorities, a they are sustained by all classes of respectabie and law-abiding people, On the atternoon of Friday Baron de Camin de- livered his harangue before a fair andience, at the skating rink, protected by the Mayor and police, No atiempt was made to disturb hun. The people vreatne more freely, and the Lid a ad feeling is one of relief that the city has probably seen the last of the wandering agitator, The right of free speech having been vindicated in his behalf, the quiet THE OcDRNSBORG EROIEMEST. | FINANCIAL, AND COMMERETAL | ‘heavy customs payments on “ etree WALL Street, > SeNpar, Angust 20, 1571. 6 Business in commercial circies begins to show Che advent of the fall trade, aud during the past Week considerable actlyity was perceptible, Our out-of-town merchants are getting into the habit of taking the watering places en row'e to the me tropoits tor @ brief sojourn, preiimuary to thy visit here, and many such are now al Suratoga, Long Brauch amd other resorts, trour which we may s00n expect quite an influx of buyers.

Although there tas not been much enlargeinent of business atthe Steck Exchange outsiuc of a few Specialties which were the subject of speculative movement, the week has furnished many features Of interest both in stocks and gold. The cowrse of prices has shown considerable consequence of the subsidence of much of Live en- thusiasm which greeted the frst reports of the success of the new loan in the hands of the Synti- cate.

The chief in- terest centered on Pacifle Matl, vancing to 52%, suddenly fell to 49), om a bogua re- port that the steamer Henry Chauncey had been burned off the Virginia coast. The stock was sold in enormous quantities by parties who had been furnished with this tatelligence, and the eontradic- hon of the report started so rapid a vise and so ter- as shown by rifled the short interese that the clique were able to | unload a great portion of the stock which they had bought at lower prices, an even- tual decline to 433¢ occurring before the close of the week. The Western Union movement took a fresh but short-lived lease of activity and advanced the stock to 624, but seemed content then to let the price take care of itself. At the close the bullish sentiment was les. confident in | view of the unfavorable character of the bank | statement, and Saturday's dealings showed a con- | siderable pressure to realize. enumerated the general ment. The new loan was brought up again as an induence on the market by reason of cable de- spatches announcing heavy subscriptions in ad- vance of the formal opening of the books next Week; but the feciing at the Stock Exchange seemed to take it with much Indiiference, part! larly after the publication of the bank statement.

There was also a less firm feeling on Saturday wlien it was ascer- | tained that the week's tmporis*of general merchan- dise Were not proportionately as lange as those of | dry goods, which, being unusually heavy, induced the impression that the total imports would be at least one or two millions more than the figures re- ported from the Custom House Saturday morning. THE BANK STATEMENT, The weekly statement of the associated banks proved quite unfavorable. ‘The specie has run down about three millions, in consequence of the imported goods, and the legal tenders have fallen over two millions, exhibiting the siipments of currency inl- tating the fall movement to the West and Soutn.

The rate for money on-call was 2 a 3 per cent until the very close on Saturday, after the bank statement, when a few late borrowers pala 3 percent cheeriully, and where they had recourse to the trust companies as high as 4 per cent. Accounts, Rowever, had been generally made up before the bank statement appeared, su that some allowance is to be made for the disadvantages under which borrowers sought accommodation.
