Govurxor Horrmas, in his speech at the ‘Westohesier Fair yesterday, sajd be had once oe followed the pionzn for thirty minutes, and tn that time he had got enough of it. Sensible man, the Governor. It bas been so uniformly the case that the great men of the country, when they rise to make a speech about them- selves, go off into ecstasies over their young days of farmer boy life, the great inspiration they drew in at the plough handle, the marvel- Jous culture and polish they obtained in the process of digging potatoes, and the legal Jore they acquired shelling corn, that the idea has been strongly instilled into our youth that none of them have a chance for the Governorship, or even the Presidency, unless they pass at least a part of their early existence, being blistered and freckled and mosquito bitten, on somebody's farm. This impression has, indeed, been so ‘strong that, doubtless, many of our promising youths have fetched up at Sing Sing in their zealous endeavors to get a good country edu- cation. For our part we believe in the city doy a little. There is as good grit in the Honest young fellow who treads the cobble- stones all his young days, and sleeps up back alleys or wastes midnight gas, instead of burning all the old farmer’s kerosene in trying to get knowledge as there is in the average elodhopper, and Hoffman is an instance of it. ComamnpaBiz Conpuct oF OFFICIALS.— The conduct of General Patrick H. Jones and the other persons responsible to the govern- ment, in resolving to pay to the government any losses incurred by the defalcation of Superintendent Norton, of the Money Order Department in the New York Post Office, is wery commendable. General Jones has shown himself a model Postmaster in his prompt and sanusual action in this case, and will receive much honor for the course he took to prevent loss to the government and to keep public confidence in the money order system from being impaired.

Crry of Mexico, Sept. 6, Via InpraNo.a, Texas, Sept. 14, 1871. The Juarists are now sure of the entire or- ganization of Congress, including the Commit- tee on Ceremonials, Strong revolutionary threats have been made, The permanent Junta will be installed September 16. OPENING OF THE PRELIMINARY JUNTA, The preliminary Junta Congress was in- stalled yesterday. The number present was 147, the delegates number 227. The meeting resulted favorably for Juarez. Juarez was elected President of the tempo- rary organization and Chief of the Committee on Credentials. The Juarists by vote were seventy-nine to sixty-eight of the opposition. Alarmed at the operation of the vote the opposition party abandoned the hall, thus de- stroying the quorum until the evening. This vote is strongly indicative of Juarez’s success, though the arrival of other members may make a change. It is stated that Diaz is the champion for peace. ‘He will personally move against any revolution. Pronunciamentos have been issued in Zaca- tecas, and a forced loan has been levied ia the smaller towns, Fusion of Lerdists and Juarists. Le Mensajero ssys there is a well founaed rumor that @ fusion of tne Juarists and Lerdists has been under consideration. The former party have lkely shown the greatest desire to effect tnis, and have been extremely active in the work of concilia- ton, In the private deliberations of the Directory the question has been examined under three heads. First, to give guarantees of stability to two or three Governors of the Lerdist party who may have sufficient influence over the representatives of their States, so as to compel them to give wetr votes in favor of the re elec- tion; second, to employ a certain sum of mouey, which it ts alleged has been deposited in @ sure quarter, in order to throw the weight in the balance in favor of Juarez, by placing it in the hands of delegates who have at present opposition ideas, but who in reality form opinions for sale; third, to enter directly mto negotiations with the chiefs of the Lerdist party and make them a splendid offer; deciaring that Juarez is unwilling to vacate the post ne now occuples amid derision from his enemtes—though he might do it volunta- rily; and if in consequence of failure of the re- election, atter two or three months he will gra- ciously abandon the Presidency to M. Lerdo, who Will be called upon to receive it a3 soon as it 13 de- clared vacant, As to ourselves, continues this journal, we sin cerely desire the re-election of Juarez, and we be- leve to-day that that re-election is certain, and we congratulate him on the promiséd success; and if, in order that the country may profit by his electoral victory, he can now make some combinations which will bring about a conciliation of parties and im- prove the administration we shall accord lu cur most sincere acknowledginenta. , 4 With the re-election of Juarez the country will have guarantees, so tar as it 13 possible, that there will be peace in the interior. This was the first con- quest to be achieved, and we think his efforts will tend henceforth to the realization of peace without, In consequence of the news that @ serious dis- turvance has occurred in the State of Oajaca, Gene- ral: Porfirto Diag hag started for Lxvian with 600 infantry and six pieces of cannon, in order to sup- press the rioters, Six handred more will be scent on to Tehuantepec, Who Will rematn there to guard gle capital of the State.

MonrREAL, Sept. 14, 1871, ‘The weather to-day was much more favorable to the regatta, There was very little wind to speak of; but more delay was caased by AN UNFORTUNATE ACCIDENT to the boats of the English crews. Shortly after twelve o’clock the steamer Victuria, with the pa- trons, judges and press and sbout a hundred invited friends, left the wharf opposite the City Ball and steamed across to Longuevil ana resumed the same Position she occupied yesterday, close to the start- ing point and winning buoys. The steamers Ber thier, St, Lambert and Longuevil each carried over alarge numberof passengers, dnd by one o'clock there was a crowd of spectators on the beach, and, including those on board the steamers, perbaps about five thousana persons were within view of the starting polntof the race. When the Victorla ar- rived at one o'clock several gentlemen who had been over early tn the morning reported to His Worship Mayor Coursal and Mr. Wale ton that, during last night, the Renforth crew’s boat had been broken, It appears that, in the absence of the crew, several men more, from curiosity tuan with evil intent, broke open the boat house and handled the Queen Victoria in A DISGRACEFUL MANNER, The boat had veen tumbied up and down in all sorts of ways, and its shell was cracked in several places, while the air tight compartments were per- forated, All this morning the crew were bastly engaged in patching up their boat, determined that if the Queen Victoria could float at all they would row. They atterwards went out for a trial spin, bat the boat leaked badly. The Winship crew’s boat, the Coaly Tine, was also injured by some tndiscreet admirers of racing craft, who, with some ladies, put their knees on the shell and cracked it. PREPARING FOR THE RACK, At one o'clock there was a slight ripple on the water, but nothing'like what it was yesterday, and it was determined if the boats could be got ready and brought down the race would come off about two o'clock. Major Willls, Secretary and Treasurer of the Lachine Yacht Club, repre- sents the Renforth crew as judge, William Natman the Barton and Mr. McDonald the Winsnlp crow, of which he is backer, 8. J. Doran was appointed referee, ‘The regatta programme was opencd at a little after two P. M, by the boys’ double scull skift race of one mile, which was won by Amy in 10m. 30s, Immediately after the boys’ race the’ Barton crew launched their boat and pulled toward the starting point. They were followed by the Winship and Renforth crews, and all THREE BOATS GOT INTO POSITION exactly at twenty minutes to three, and were re- ceived with cheers by the spectators, All the crews luoked in good condiuon, The three crews made a ood start, and the Renforth men dipped first water, Sut so slight was the advantage that 1t was not per- ceptible after the third stroke, when they and the Winships’ boat shot out from the booms in splendid style. The Bartons were only a half length behind. For the first tbree hundred yards they puiled a little Wild and seemea to steer too much towards the river, but this was soon rectified, and the Win- ship and Renforth crews began to forge ahead of the Bartons, Winship leading by two lengths, ‘This position was kept up lor the next’ half mile aud until the ieading boat neared the tug steamer Plover, about a mile irom the start, when the Ren- forth crew, Who were then nearly three lengths be- hind the Winship, put in a spurt, and dn the next 200 yards crept up and were Low and bow with the Winship. AS the two boats passed the steamer both crews were pulling gallantly, and every muscle Was strained as they lait back to their oars, and for the next hail mile It was A PREITY CLOSE CONTEST between two rival English crews. ‘they kept well together, bit pulled out towards the river, while the Barlon crew crept steadily along inside the course, and, if anything, hugging the shore, Be- tween them and the nearest Li ney crew was a lateral «1st 6 of about two handred yards, which was gradually Mereasing, and tiey were about the same distance in reat..At pis time it was noticed titat both the Eagtish crewWSawere alongside, but at least two handred yards outside es. > THR TURNING STAKEBOATS; ™ and showed no signs of turning. ‘Tie stakepoars were moored as follows:—The shore one about two hundred yards from the beach; this was tue one that the Barton crew were to turn.

To THE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES ‘SIR—On the $uh Inst. a despatch, dated at Cuarles- ton on the 7th, was published in the leading news- Papers, stating in effect (hat a number of the citizens of Spartanburg county, includ the United States Commissioner and other onicers, hac addressed a let- ter to me referring to the statements and afidavits submitted to you with my letter of the 1st 1 and declaring that upon inguiry they were unable to hear of any outrage having been committed in that county since the sub-committee of which I was chairman left it, but that, on the contrary, there was profound peace and quiet in the county. I was glad to learn that there was even @ probability of my in- formant having been mistaken and rested satisfied that Your Excellency would delay any further action until this conflict of statements was cleared up. 2 am this morning in receipt of the letter alluded to in the despatch, ana of otner communications on the same subject, ail of which I take pleasure in laying before you for your consider- ation. The ravated case mentioned im the papers anbmitted to you as having occurred tn Spar- tanburg county was that of a man named Quinn, Who was stated to have been brutally whipped in Pacolet township, in that county. The letter of Colonel Gabriel Cannon and another letter of Lr. A. W. Cummings, both . reaching me to-lay, and are herewith submitted, taken together show that the outrage was committed in Unton county, a short distance jrom the line of Spartan- burg county, while Quinn was there on a visit to his brother-in-law; that Quinn isa citizen of Spartan- burg county, and that one of the persons arrested for the otfence is aiso a citizen of that county. ‘This correction of the former statements would, there. fore, show that instead of violence having been renewed in Spartanburg county, as before stated, it has been renewed in the border of Union, near Spartanburg, upon a citizen of Spartanburg, and in all probability by citizens of Spartanburg. The disclosure of What had occurred m the counties alluded to, and the siate of fecling existing there satisiled at least & majority of the sub-com uittee that if violence was again committed by disguised men no remed: existed either in public sentiment or the local nd bunals, and 1t was in that belief that citizens were informed that your attention would be called to any renewal of such offences with a view to a more rigtit remedy. It was for the purpose of discharging that duty that 1 before addressed you, and in again doing so I invite your attention to the whole corre- spondence transinitted with this and my former letter, No one will rejoice more than [if in the counties affected by these occurrences the rights and privileges of all citizens can be secured and protected without resort to the extreme limut of power entrusted to you by law.

A Festival in Honor of Christopher Colum. bus—lItalian Patriotism and Ambition. At @ meeting held at the Germania Assembly Rooms last night, by the Executive Committee of the Italian Society of New York, it was decided to render the 12th of October, it being the anniversary of the discovery of America by Columbus, @ na- tional commemorative festival On that day this year the Italians propose to have a procession ar- ranged with great taste and splendor, which will move through the chicf streets of the city. The procession being over, those prepared to continue the festivities of the day will proceed to Lion Park to participate in the enjoyment of a national picnic. Signor CAVAGNALI, who presided at the meeting, sald in reference to the celevration in honor of Christopher Columbus:—Fellow citizens and coun- trymen—Our proposition to celebrate the anniver- sary of the discovery of this great land by our illus- trious countryman, Christopher Columbus, reflects credit on our nationality as represented in the me- tropolis of the United States, To achieve a grand purpose Christopher Columbus began by adoptin; restricted means— the only ones at his disposal He neither the sympathy of oor and powerless nor the patronage the wealthy and influential. Mis projects were depreciated, and by many scoffed at as wild and chimerteal; but his perseverance overcame ail prej- udice, opposition aad contumely, while his final success elicited the encomiums of monarchs and the wonder of the universe, In that great man’s strides toward success and greatness let our own Peer Lis the lot of nis countrymen in the land that bears his name—be typified. In his earnest perseverance— the frutt of conscious merit—we find a glorious im- pulse to walk steadily forward in the broad path of progress, heediess of the petty obstacles that may oppose our way. In his firmness, courage, genius and final triumph we merely witness the germs, the common germs of our national character, which since the Gays of Columbus have haa litwe chance to develop themselves into that consummate great- ness which the present condition of Italy will soon attain. In celebrating the 12th of Uctober we will republish to the world the fame and utle of our great pioneer, and estabilah our claims upon the respect and men, of all Americans. In this intelligent republic organization, fraternity and yurposes specially aimed at are the maimsprings individual progress and the sole means of any class atiaining prominence and influ. ence in the nation. It was because we banded together for one purpose that we were enabled to honor Italy by a grand celebration of 118 glorious events on the 25th of August, and by the strength of our union attracted Italian delegates from every State in the Union, thereoy expanding and eng vitality to our people's imteresta im the Unit States, ‘The speaker concluded by expressing his fervent hope t the 12th of October would not oniy be honored by a dignified and attractive commemora- tion of the fact and cause Of the discovery of Ameri- ca, but that it would be made a Oxed annual festi- val by the Ltalians of the United states, BENJAMIN TOWN, GUNNER.
