The Great Lights of New York Democracy in Their Pighting Array. t ROCHESTER, Oct. 8, 1871. ‘The fon has commenced. Crowds are here from all sections and more are coming. Every train ar- riving brings additions to the throng already on hana, and the hallways of the hotels look like Albany at the height of an active Legisiative session. THB NEW YORK DELEGATIONS, . or rather a large majority of the members, arrived late Jast night. Ben Wood, who is cultivating @m elegant white mustache, was among the!prominent ones, and since he came he has been working unremittingly among the country delegates as they come in and making the road rough for Tammany. Among others floating around to-day are ex-Surrogate Ticker, who wants to be Attorney General, His gray Dundrearys are {n excellent order, and he seems quite hopeful, al- thougn he Bays but little, ‘Bergen, the philosopher, with a new veiveteen hat and his dry iogic, 18 on hand and has made several converts. Pea Green Moloney—again forcing himself to the front, with his rubicund whiskers elegantly trimmed, bat without the historical green coat—is here large as life. He is one of the reformers, G. W. McLean looks rather disconsolate without bis bouquet, but he is decked in an elegant linen cambric shirt and evidently feels very nice. The venerable Sammy has been in charge of Mr, Row- ley, of this town, since his arrival, and has been Dursing up his wrath against the Tammany lead efs,@nd to-night he is primed and charged and ready to explode at any moment, THE NEW YORKERS are making the town howl, although none of that gang of roughs which the opposition papers said ‘was to be bere have shown themselvés as yet. Senator Jake Hardenberg, from Ulster, looking “ eomewhat younger than he did a year ago, is around, lively as could be expected. On veing in- terviewed by & HERALD reporter, he said, in his own peonllar way:— “Neow, look ahere, all: the republican papers Vhrough the State are howling against the New York charter as a shield for all this fraua and corruption that is charged against Tam- many. Here is Senator Kennedy, who spokt for that charier and voted) for it; he is fenominated and he'll be elected. Bowen voted for it, he has been renomrated and he'll be re-elected. Wood and Chapman and Woodin all voted and worked for it, ana ‘they have been renominate1 and may be re-elected, and the only re- publican. who voted against’ it has not been remominated—that 1s Senator Thayer. Talk about consistency and covering up fraud. Bosh! WICKHAM, OF THB REFORM DELEGATION, 4ooks happier than he generally does the morning after the firemen’s ball. He wants to be let down easy, but he thinks it is a happy idea on tne part of Tammany to bave three Coroners on their delega- tion, 80 that. fail inquest can be held on the party which goes back defeated or dead. The delegates seem to be a8 much at sem as were the majority of the republican delegates last week at Syracuse. The great question is now on the ad- mission of Tammany, and this seems to override all ideas about the tioket to be presented, about tne organization of the Convention, and, in fact, about anything and everything eise, “| 3B COUNTRYMEN are very bitter, and it is more than probable that, W-the matter of the admission of Tammany comes to vote in the Convention, their delegation will be \nrown out, and yet there are others who conf- dently claim that Tammany will have fully twenty majority in ite favor. Others again, who ought to know whereof they apeak, say that the Tammany delegation was sent here to be defeated. None ot the Jeading talking and working men of the sevoral districts are here, except Colonel Fellows and Speaker Hitchman, and to-night an effort is being make to have the matter Agee AST TREE TIT Ar 8 ("mR STATE COMMITTER. A meeting of the committee ‘Was held this even- ing, and Colonel Fellowa appeared in behalf of the ‘Tammany delegation. Governor Seymour, who ap- pears to be very bitter against Tammany; Tilden, Church, Richmond, General Green and a few others of the committee declared that they wanted the fight to take place on the floor a the Convention, and by a decisive vote cut Tam- ‘Tatiy adrift, They contended that this was abso- lutely necessary in order t6 Save the party; that ‘Without such a result the eioct eo the people morally would ruin the cause. Cassidy, Fowler, DeWolf and ono or two others were loath to také “gach & Goursé, 6d endeavored to impress their col- leagues with the luea that it would be far better that se A MORE MODERATE PLAN OF ACTION ~~ should be adopted, and this 18 whe; wey advocated, tat the Tammany folk§ snduld, in the Convention, putin a protest Claiming that they are the only organization 11 New York which actually repre- sents the great mass of the democratic votes, and that to deny them seats in the “Vonvention would be revolutionary ana wholly unjustified. If, after this protest /would be made, the Convention would admit the re- gularity of the Tammany delegation, then the dele- gates would withdraw, provided at the same time, however, that the Convention would promise that no Other delegation be admitted from New York and that no change would be made in the State Committee until the charges now preferred against the leaders of the organization should ve settled, The committee Moaily adjourned with- Bn going te, any conclusion as to the question, ere will be another meeting to-morrow morning at nine o'clock, and everypody is on the tiptoe of expectation as to what the upshot of THB NOVEL PROPOSITION OF TAMMANY’S FRIENDS m the commitvee will be. ‘The general belief is that it will be rejected, as the «elevates from the country ‘would Jook upon it as too large a concession, Dur committee, which the mom- admission of Tam- many exceedingly ‘Witter in their denunciations, and haudied the leaders without gloves, Henry Richmond, in demanding that she ahould be nized in no way whatever, said that the party would lose Cart? thonsand votes tn New York city if she were allowed the slightest say %n the Convention, Colonel Fellows then asked ‘nim if he had taken tnto consideration Low many votes the party would lose if Tammany was put out of doors, and concluded by saying:—‘‘If the Conven- Hon dy ita action decides that we are ® pack of thieves and unworthy to associate with the otber members, it Bignt be @ question for Tammany be Mecide whether or not, under the circumstances, bis § People. were not unworthy to voie to sustalD the ticket which might be put into their hands by thone with whom they were not tit to as- bud he other Momoers took this as w vreat that Tammany Would Voit i she Were denoyuced a8 NEW YORK HERALD, WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER 4, 1 and at deal of excitement Tlowed, dure Henich’ a mouon to adjourn was ‘Af the present writing THE EXCITEMENT RUNS VERY HIGH, alt no disorderly demonstrations have been made bythe followers of cither New York party.

ON FHL ROAD TO ROCHESTIRN. ‘Since a laté hour on Sunday afternoon every rail- road going North im the direction of Albany and Rochester has beef crowded with the delegates to the Rochester Convention and their fends and sympathizers. Passes were issued by the Erie Rail- way tothe Tammany delegates, who lett ina body by the efght o’clock train from Jersey City, Plenty of cigars, champagne, whiskey and all kinds of eatabies and relishes, including chow-chow and pickles, were provided, and immense baskets of provisions were pat in places easy to get atin the cars, 60 that those who rode might eat a3 they pleased and when they pleased. Mr. Tweed was not present, as in the old days, and Mr. Sweeny ‘was also absent, both of these eminent politicians having arranged to goto Rochester as quietly as Possible for the purpose of avolding the large crowds. Three sleeping cars were en- gaged, and these were speedily Milled by those who had become over-drowsy from the political excitement of the day. They were quite peaceable, the regular dejogates, the noise and confusion vetag confined to the outside sympa- thizers. The reform democracy left for Rochester on Mon- day night, vy the eight o’clock train, on the Hudson Tuver Railroad, in a mass, not one delegate being absent at roll call. Ex-Sheriff O’Brien, Samuei G. Courtney, Judge Ledwith, Joseph Biumen- thal and other teafers of the reform de- mocracy were on the train, cheering and encouraging their followers before tne tigty. The German democracy and the Democratic Unton orga- nization had also their full delegations for Reches- ter, who left In small squads by boat or railroad, as they found it individually convenient. Mr. Charles O’Conor, the Ulys.es of the reformers, was un- well to attend the Convention in person, but in his place Mr. Roswell D. Batch, his Blgernate from the Nineteenth Assempiy afstrict of this “city, is to represent Mr, O'Conoy’s views in the Convention, having @ {ull set of in- stractions from that gentleman, _There was a good deal of éubduea ex citement in this cliy yésterday in Tégard to what would be done by the delegates When they were assembled. * “Pm goin’ to the Kunvenshin to-nignt. I was goin’ this morning; but lam just loafin’ around for the rest of the boys. They'll soon be here.” This was the remark of @ young gentleman of about twenty-six years of age, who stood ouiside of the Hudson River depot yesterday, at noon, with a carpet bag in his hand, expectant of what might come to pass in the very lively political row which now exists in this city ween the Tammany fac i cone the newly rise dnd giantlike retorm de- ‘This joung man with the cariet baw wa Jain we Fnac Bifde the war) controlled ‘the ‘Tammany pilifeles in New York city, He had a narrow forehead, a lary mo uth Nia 44 down at the corners, wy sharp, Woiish, shining white teeth, He hada sdilind body, a wicked face, a pair of eyes that Were consiantly glancing sidewise, and a crop Of short, stubbly Lair redolent of bear's grease. “What have you tn that carpet-bag?” asked tne | HERALD reporter of the nice young man, 3..." “Would you like to see ?'* he answered; and then he opened the mouta of the bag aud expused its contents, There were two boities of Martell brandy, two boxes of sardines of the largest size, foriy or tifty very strong cigars, a Smith & Wesson six bar- relled revclver, another botile of brandy of uncer- tain brand, one of Ned Buntiine’s novels, a copy of the Legislative Manual of the state ot New York, with the uame of the owner of the carpet-bag im- plaged in gold letters, and a fresh pack of cards, Cuviosity led the reporter to ask why ail these implements of warfare had been so pleniifully pro- vided for the trip of the nice young man. He auswered abruptly but Kindly, as is the man- her with those who have condescended to govern the citizens of New York during the last ten years, “I carry the sardines becos | want to have something else to eat on tho way besides pies aud doughnuts. That's all 1 ever got irom here to Albany in my trips. The revolver—well, I carry that to Save myself from the rowdies that are going to the Kunvenshin—them fellows that are going to kill all the ‘lammany delegates.

The brandy—well, I take that becos the Yanks who talk so much about corruption would just a3 soon charge me forty or fifty cents for a glass Of brandy as they would look around them," “But what is your purpose in going to this Con- vention if you are nota delegate? Why do you at- tend it at all?’ the reporter made inquiiy, “Laln't no delegate. What should I be a delegate fur? 1am going up to heel for the delegates, If there's awrow or@ nose to Le broke just count me “Aro you pald for this?” queried the reporter. “Of course Lam. ‘They have stopped our pay in the dee-partments, and Tam going up to ‘heel’ for the mau that pays me. { am workin’ for Boss Tweed, He never went back on me, and I ain't going back on him now.

De Trobriand’s Views of the Situation. Governor Woods Determined, Con- fident and Unrelenting, SALT LAKE Crry, Oct. 3, 1871. I had the picasure to-day of meeting Colonel De Trobriand, commanding the Thirteenth miactry and Camp Douglas, near this city. The General was in excellent spirits, and very courteously responded to the few questivas 1 proposed. WHAT GENERAL DE TROBRIAND SAYS. CoRRESPONDENT—General, what do you think of the situation of affairs In Utah to-day? GENERAL—Well, 1 consider it much less threat- ning than it bas been presented outside, from the reports I near from ali sources. Indeed, it seems that the excitement is greater outslue of the Terri- tory than in Salt Lake City. This, I suppose, arises from the uncertainty about the real condition of things here, ‘There is one all important polut in all the present situation, and that is that Mr. Brigham Young, President, and the elders of the Church have come to the decision to submit to anv civil legal process and to bow to the majesty of the law. ‘Yhese people of Utah, the MORMONS, HAVE BEEN TRAINED TO OBEDIENCE and discipline, and they are entirely under the con- trol of their leaders, It tnese leaders had been crazy or foolish enough to attempt any violent re- sistance and to encourage or direct their people in that way the dificulty would have been serious indecd, although there would have been im mo way any dount of the re- sult, Then these people could have been dangerous, and a bloody repression would become necessary work; but they have adopted an entirely different policy, and for the same reasun that would have made them rise in open resistance they will now remain quiet under tne advice of their leaders. Therefore I apprehend no serfous disturbances in consequence of the last judicial proceeding in our courts, The indictment against Brigham Young being batlable, 1¢ cannot create any diMculty for the present; but new questions may arise 1 case an indictment for murder should be found against him; not that even in this case he ‘Would resist a warrant of arrest, but the trial would evidently bring the excliement to a climax, and then, if found guilty and sentenced accordingly, the execution of this sentence would meet a violent re- sistance from most of his people, But these are an- licipations which may never be realized; if so, the pressure of American ideas, American prin- ciples, American civilization, with the steady actlon of the Judiciary, will do their work, and will alter and modify the moral and ecclesiastical condition of Utab, so that the law will reign heré as welt asin every other Territory or State before long, and this without bloodshed, I think that the military power may be useful in certain cases, but Tam far more confident in MORAL INFLUENCES to bring people to @ right understanding of the je@ality and to the necessity of obeying the laws, Brignam Young assures me of his readiness to sub- mit to arrest withowt resistance, His best counselors. agree with Dim All intelll- gent Mormons understand cieariy that any rebellious outbreak would be followed by prompt and energetic repression; and J, for one, would not hesitate todo all in my power to aid the civil authorities to enforce the laws against atl sedi tious opposition. The conflict which would ensue WoUuld'be SO Gixustrous to all the interests of the Territory, be it among the Mormons or the Gentiles, that I am convinced that all intelligent people among them will unite to prevent any such calamity, The military reinforcements ordered to report to me at Camp Dougias will have, in all’ probability, a good moral influence, But I do not foresee any likell- hood that it will be necessary to use them to repress & riot or insurrection. Your correspondent thanked the General for his jnformation and courtesy, and startea to hunt up Governor Wooas. INTERVIEW WITH GOVERNOR Woops, Alter my interview with General De Trobriand, commanding the United States forces in Utah, 1 strolled down to the Executive Mansion to see Gov- ernor Woods. I met him on the street, keeping the shady side for comfort’s sake, but on greeting him and informing him of orders from the New York HERALD heauquarters, he invited me to his house, and became, under the genial influences of a pro- feasional interviewer, anything but shady in the ex- pression of his views. After lighting a cigar, [ spoke thusly to his Excellency:— CORRESPONDENT—Governor, What are your views on the present situation in Utah? GOVERNOR—From the present indication I do not entertain fears of any serious difficulty or resistance by force to the execution of the law, although it is hard to determine what a wild fanaticism, such as the basis of Mormon institutions, might do. Tne central idea of Mormonism being theocratic in its essence 18 naturally in opposition to the fuadamental doctrines of a repub- lican = government; hence the masses of the people by tne false teachings of the jeaders have cultivated a feeling of opposition to the en- forcement of laws made by any other power than vhat of the Church, which is considered supreme. The masses of the people are honest, an outside of the influences of the priestnood would be good, law-abiding citizens. The blame rests upon the leaders alone. Hitherto it has been DIFFICULT TO ENFOQCE THE LAWS. Public opinion, moulied by the Church, nas beea opposed to the execution, but the influx of Gentiles, in consequence of tho construction of the Pacific Railroad and the discovery of the rich mines, has wrought a change, and now it is posible to enforce the law, and ft shall be done the same in Utan as in any other portion of the repubile. CoRRESPONDENT—What has been the effect of the present efforts to carry out the laws? ovVERNOR—It has been good. 1he presentments by the Grand Jury against the leaders of the Church for adultery, growing out of polygamy, which is one of the tenets of the Church, and for offences of ® more serious nature, have naturally created a good deal of excitement and ill-feeling among the masses of the people, who have been taught to be- eve that their leaders were immaculate. Hence there has been a great deal of inflammatory talk, THREATS OF RESISTANCE, secret drijling of men in the nighttime, threay assassination of federal oMcials and apostate Mo”. mons and Godbeites, doubtless with a vier) to iny timidato, but with no little earnestness, For this rea- |. gon I made’requisition for more troop, wilch are now here. The iofiuence has been salutary, and now I have no apprehension @ any very serions trouble. If resistany, Ghould be in- terposed the supremacy ef the laws shall be maintained at all hazard. The courts are fear- lessly doing their duty, &”.pported by all the federal omicers of the Territorg, audthe result must be in the ef all that good citizens desire, Conaesronpsxt—if Brigham Young or any of the promineat leaders should be indicted and tried tor @ capital offence, what would be the result? GOVERNOR—Shey should have as fair and impartia; trial as any other citizen, 1 do not believe that there is any likelihood of serious resistance hereafter to tne Courts, Nothing but bad counsel from bad men could bring about a collision between the people and the government, In apy event | euall perform my duty. CORRES PONDENT—Have you any other suggestion to make? Uiab pas aright sature, and wnen | Rede” 8 er these disturbances are over and these nad questions are finally setsled the Territory will rapidiy develop and become one of the richest and most prosperous in the West. CORRESPONDENT—Well, Governor, your views ars encouraging, and 1 will send them to the people of the East. Taking my leave I attempted to obtatn an inter view with Brigham Young, but he was, I was toid, quite ill and too weak to stana the labors of an in- terview, 80 I «id not see the head of the Mormon Chureh. At some future day I will get his views on the situation and forward them to the Hmratp, I understand, however, that the Mormon leaders have decided upon @ policy of SUBMISSION TO THE Laws, and there is no chance, tt is thought; of arow. Tu day the Mayor, Daniel 11. Wella, one of the priests of the Uhnrch, was arrested on @ warrant issued by Chief Justice McKean, based om an indictinent vy the Grand Jury for lewd and lascivious cohabitation With certain women, under the Territoriai statutes of Utah. He was arraigned before Chief Justice McKean, pleaded not guilly, and wa3 held to oail in the suin of $5,000 to stand trial next week, The court room was well crowded with Saints, the police being numerous in the same court. This morning Mr, Fite, counsel for Brghant Young, stated to the Court that his chent was ily that a Deputy United States Marshal was in his room; that he would like to heve bail assigned. Chief Jusiice MeKean replied that the Depaty United States Marshal should be wiihdrawn and the price oner be left unguarded, and when he was able to appear in court he must do so, as he must be first arraigned and plead in open court to the :adictment. No exception coula be made in the rule, although Mr. Young should not be compelled to come to cours when physically disabled, This action vf the Chied Justice 1s regarded aa generous and: fair by all. The Mormon papers are milder to-day. The excitement is less and will soon die out. General Henry A. Morrow, formerlyin command here, arrived last night and was enthusiastically received. He is under orders to report at Camp Douglas, A company of cavalry from Fort Steele anda full battery from Fort Halleck are expected here to-morrow, There are now about flve hundred troops in cainp, " The Debt Statement and the Syndicate~Mn HKoutwell in Trouble. WASHINGTON, Uct, 3, 1871, Acomparison of the debt statement of August 1, September 1 and October 1 shows that Mr. sout- well continues to ignore the temporary addition of about $130,000,00) to the national debt. His Ulevo- land speech acknowledged that the debt for the three monins ending December 1 would be $139,000,000 larger tnan represented on the Ist of August, Why does he pretend to give an ofictat statement of tie debt for Octover 1, and leave out the five per cents negotiated by the Syndicate? Tho truth Is Mr, Boutwell ts thorougnly frightened about, the Syndicate and its operations. . vorty million dollars of the new loan was reported actualy. sent to the Syndicate in Europe soon after the first negotiations. It was given out at tne Treas- ; ury Department recently that $40,000,000 more of the, bonds was to ba delivered to the Syndicate in Lons aon before the middie of November, and one of th clerks was sent to New York a few days ago to take charge of a batch by next steamer, but was recalled. Mr. Boutwell is much disturbed at the exposurcs of his inconsistency, especially slace his most recen= statement, which, instead of showing a decrease of thirteen and a half mililons, should show an in- crease of at least one hundred millions in tie public debt.
