All classes of soctety, all profes- sions, trades ana occupations, with one marked ex- ception, were represented. The é¢xception was the metropolitan police. The editor says the speech of A. G. Riddie was bold, very plain in its language— some might say too plain, but it was at once philosophical and pungent, Mrs. Spencer was clear, keen, spicy and brave, as at the lasi meeting; and turther that the meeting was a large one an wilt help the cause. The National Republican heads its account thus: — “Spencerian Women’s Circus’ ‘Another perform. ance last mght*—“Large audience, plemy of fun, but very little money,” &c., and says:— Tne gathering was made up of abont one hundred women and about eight bandred men, the greater ortion of whom had dropped in either because ‘here was nowhere else to go or because of an idle curiosity. Some, itis trac, were there because of earnest sympathy with the movement, but they were numerically so weak that they could have easily been seated in one of the ante-rooms of the hall, This might have been done with proilt to the club, as thereby the members would have spared them- seives the utterances of indecency aud the contempt of the audience, which was made so manifest during tne evening. In the name of the virtue and decency and morality of Washington we demand that an end shall be put to these exhibitions, and that our city shall no longer be disgraced by these un- womenly women.

The Department of Justice leased to-day for a term of years ali of the rooms, except those on the | ground floor, in the new buildiug erected by the Freedman’s Saving Bank on Pennsylvania avenue, directly opposite the Treasury Department, and wil take possession on the 15th of October, vacating the quarters now occupted by the Solicitor General on F street and the apariments of ihe Attorney General in the southeast corner of the Treasury butiding.

At tie inception of the canvass, therelore, there was a@ big scramble among republicans for the spoils. astern Massachusetts presented Dr. George B. ring and Harvey Jewell, and the Western dis- tricts offered Messrs.

But the Gen eral was not to be put off tn this way- He bo'dly avowed his futention to fight it out on his own hook, aud threw himself upon the suffrages of the people. He found that he had been given the cold shoulder by his_ old-time associates, and sole took the stump. For days and nights General Butler worked unceasingly, backed up by the federal administration and the government oficers here, with indomitable perseverance, a great deal of money and the quasi endorsement of the labor reformers, Wendell Pilillps and the pro- hibitory men, until it was apparent to every- from the latest extimates:—Batte., Peet Des 361; unknown (of which quantity Ue. can fairly claim half), 53.

No definite action was decided upon, however, but the conclave will have a special session at Worcester at an early hour on Tuesday morning. If the Butler Movement books dangerous the antis will, it 14 said, unite upon Judge Robert (, Pitman, of New edford, who on account of his temperance strength they reckon as a man who will be likely to attract a great many votes which could otherwise be cast tor General Butler, The General and his friends, however, will endeavor to crush a movement in this direction through the medium of a mass meeting at Worcester on the éve preceding the Convention, at which Butler will make the prmcipalspeech, He has already engaged Mechanics Hall for this purpose, and with a score or more of bands and a general display of fireworks and other accoinpaniments of a kindred nature he hopes to arose @o enthusaism which will carry him triumphantly through the Convention the day following. There can be no question but that tne General is using or possible means to effect hid election, and if he falls im doing so it will not be because of any lack of effort on his part or on the part of any of his {rignds. As stated fn iny despatch of last yight, he bas flooded the State with campaign songs and documents, many of them being of a highly sensational character. One of the former Witch 1s set to the suggestive tune of “Up in 4 Ballodh/* contains verses like these:— Let his foes eall hfmm ni “hr, le has been yi Huged the day That the rete ar Spgs cotneed poor gtrt her pay, As they'd Uke 09 do wow, 2abmag For bdnest work done in the eweat of ber brow. She went with her wrong to Ben Mutien, Be sure they were poiverful and rich body ‘that his influence had been much gepr lated, apa \uat the struggle was becommg one of life or death to the pariy managers of the commonwealth, ‘We must bestir ourselves,” they said, “and overwhelm this rebel against the cut- and-dried schemes of this self-styled friend of the people.’ And this is what they have tried to do, Against the implied endorsement of President Grant, they have arrayed the opposition of Senators Wilson and Sumner, lucy Stone is to lecture in contravention to the avowals of Wendell Phillips; Mr. Jewell and Mr, Dawes were induced to withdraw from the contes and it was deemed best to present but two can dates to the Convention. When, too, it was determmed to enforce the prohibitory law strictly and alike against ali offenders, and to adopt General Butler’s platform tor an effectual rejorm in ine = manner of dealing with labor questions. ‘The elevation of she laboring man must be made a party measure,” said Congressman Hoar, at Worcester, a week ago; “we must not leave it to the demagogue and the charlatan—to the audacious and tupudent pretender.’ Just here, howevel, A NEW ASPIRANT for the executive chair sprang tnto existence in the shape of Alexander H. Kice, aman who had Mled sundry national, State and municipal oilices to the approbation of his constitueats, and who, it was thought, would take many votes away from his competitors in the race. There Was thougnt to be AN ALMOST INEXTRICABLE COMPLICATION of affatrs, If the republican strength was to be divided among three candidates at the Convention, «1, if, supposing such to be the case, affected republicans should bolt and nomi- hate an independent candidate, there would be good reason for expecting the election of John Quincy Adams, the democratic candidate for Governor oi the commonwealth. Mr. Rices’ great strengin lay inthis city, and amorg the soidiers and sailors of the late war and hus friends con- ducted their warfare in secret. Hence he was thought to be a great stumbling-biock m the way. Mr. Rice was therefore asked to withdraw from the canvass, but he made a0 response to the invitation. “Can we tnduce Dr. Loring to withdraw? was asked; but the Doctor ‘was not tobe choked off in that way either. He matutained a dignified silence, and has to this day. The contest has thus become triangular on tne one side, between Messrs, Rice, Washburn and Loring, against Butler and nis piuck on the other. Should General Butler succeed in deieating his opponents at Worcester there ts strong reason for the presump- tion meutioned above, that there will be a boit and that the friends of the opposition will unite upon some one man whom they wil place in the field aa the regular repuplican candidate, ignoring Gene- ral Butler entirely. This will make one of the prettiest political hghts tuat was ever witnessed im New England, aod will be marked by many little episodes. Speculations are rife as to tne‘ course which Genvral Butler will pursue in case he farts to secure the nomination at Worcester. ‘The most pro- bable rumor is that to the effect that he will adhere to mis Lawrence declaration, and run either a3 an ia. dependent candidate or as the representative of the labor reform party. The triends of woman snffrage have as yet expressed no pubic preference for either candidate, THE OPPOSITION OF SUMNER AND WILSON TO BUTLER. ‘The Boston Traveler, & Loring journal if it can se- cure the district nomination, aud wiuch goes in tor Butler as its second choice, ee tne following editorial upon the subject Of the opposition to Gen- eral Butler on the part of Messrs, Sumner and Wil- soni The people of the Commonwealth have seen with some aur. prise the “reported position taken by Messrs.

AS the re turns come in General Butler stands a square chance of victory, betver, im fact, than at any previous time since the opening of the canvass.

Other docu ments there are which have emanated from the Butler headquarters of a more direct nature.
