He was glad to know what little he had done bad been useful in American households, and that his efforts in the Convention with another to elucidate the great Apostle of the Gentiles had done good in th ose households. He felt that the Bishop to whom they listened yesterday had con- cemtrated with his sermon the mamspring of the Apcatie’s action. His carnest words and impressive manner have been inspired by the Iife of the great Apostle.

Dr. EDWARDS ten said it had been bat twelve days since he had left his small country parish in the heart of England t accompany tne Bishop on this visit. ‘The translation was so violent from Old England, with its 1,800 years of Christianity, to a country. and a h iM their youth, that he was utterly unable to give expression to the thoughts @ paper, which thronged. mind, He would say shis much: In domestic life we glean from our children truths no less important than they gleam from us, Tle would make the application, 80 much as to say that he felt himself a learner of what was transpiring here.

Mr. BANGHAM, new Dean of Lichfield, was then ‘introdnced. He expresses his sincere gratification for the cordial reception accorded to his brethren and himself. It showed that there was @ bond of sympatny between churchmen which three thousand miles of ocean could not weaken. If he had any influence over the politics of England he would disentangle it of all European alliances and look for alitance in this continent with America and Canada, and then they could wield the desti- Dies cf the worid (applause) s0 much more. As a churchman, he would unite the people of the two churches speaking the same language and having a common cause. He hoped to receive their Ameri- can friends on the other siae of the water, and to thank them there for their kindness here, ‘The Rev. Mr. 1L¥3, of Wolverhampton, was then Introduced, He said that he felt that he knew those before him—that he knew them through many of Uieir bishops. When the Pan Anglican Conicrence Was in session It had) been entrusted to tum to pro- vide for the American bishops. Much of the suc- cess of that Conference was due to the American bishops, who cheered them. ‘fhe American bishops spoke to large vodies of workingmen.

His charge was malarge manufacturing district, and hundreds of his flock were constantly apolying to him for his blessing before leaving for vais side of the Atlantic. The Rev.

SaLem, Mass, Oct. 5, 1871. To-day's session of the American Board of Foreign Missions was matnly occupied in receiving reports. Judge TAYLOR, of Canandaigua, N. Y., spoke of the Interference of the Episcopal Missionary Society in the Dakota field. He was fully convinced that the great mass of that communion were not in sym- pathy with what had been done. It was caused by a zeal without knowledge on tne part of their missionaries. It was not pleasant thus to censure a sister Church, but the truth demanded ventilation. It seems that when the Indian policy of our government was adopted it was intended to allow those missions already established to noml- nate United States oflicers to act in that feld. The mission of the American Board had been there twenty-five years wheu the Episcopalians came in and by some means managed to secure the United — Officers, who were not favorable to the Boara’s mission. Dr. TRRAT said he was glad to say that only afew persons were responsible for this aiscourtesy. President ANDREWS, Of Marietia, Ohio, presented the report from the missions of Western Tursey, which included an earvest appeal for additional men. Dr. Witcox vresented the report of the Mahratta Mission, Sunouncing that the year had been one of great growth in the churches. Christians resided in 143 villages, and the 188 scliools attached to the churches were doing a good work, The number of mission laborers had been-increased by the addition ot Mr. and Mrs, Wiudsor, who arrived in Bombay im January, Many laborers haa been compelled, by sickness to leave the field during tne year. The most important event of the year In Western India was the loundation of a Curistian alliance of native pastors, teachers and missionaries, Rev. Dr. LAURIE, of Providence, R. L, reported on the Madeira Mission. Rev. Mr. NoYgs, for thirty-three years a mission- ary at that station, said there were twenty-eigit charches and 1,400 members, with 700 candidates for church membership ander probation in the mis- sion. He cailed earnestly for more men. Key. Dr. ELDREDGE, Of Norwalk, Conn., reported on the Central Turkey Mission, ‘The fact that we Datives had given $8,000 for a new college at Marasn was mentioned. Professor E. C. SMYTH, Of Andover Seminary, pre- sented a review of the work in the Zulia Mission. Rev. Dr. STRONG presented the report on European Turkey. They rejoice at the interesting character of the new fleld in Bulgaria, and at the success of the other missions in Turkey, including over two thousand people added to the churches during the past year—an average of twenty to each of the churches in the whoie fleld, The growth of intelll- gence, of railroads, Of means, of improvement among the Turks are noticeable, and the readiness with which many of them welcome the misston- artes, and especialiy education, and the work of emancipation and improvement among women. Communion services Were held in the afternoon and public meetings in the evening, at which ad- dresses were made by President Hopkins, Rev. H. N. Barnum, of Harpool; Rev. H.

Pht is " GRAND DUKE ALEXIS Arrangements for His Reception in Washington. A Trip Across the Continent in Contemplation— Position of Mr. Catacasy—His Recall De- manded—His Presence Tolerated in Com- pliment to the Grand Duke—The Presi- dent Refuses to Hold Conversation with the Disgraced Minister. WASHINGTON, Oct, 5, 1871, As Grand Duke Alexis will soon reach the Unitea States the position of Mr. Catacazy, the Russian Munister, is freely discussed in diplomatic circies, as that gentieman will take @ prominent part in the official and popular receptions in honor of the d@stingnished visitor; and especially is this subject Inveated with additional interest from the fact that the correspondence between the United States and Russia with reference to Mr. Catacazy has been closed, at least for the present, with the result as hereafter mentioned, the facts having been derived from well informea sources, and which are sub- stantially as follows:— In June last the President, through the Secretary of State, requested the recall of Mr. Catacazy, placing the request on the ground that his conduct, oMiciai and personal, had for some ume been such as materially 10 impair his usetulness to his own government, and to render intercourse with him, for either business o™ social purposes, highly dis- agreeable; and the President also expressed the opinion that the interests of both countries woula be promoted, and those relations of cordiality with the government of the Czar—of tne importance of which the Czar was well aware—would be placed upon a much surer footing if the head of the Rus- sian Legation here were tobe changed. Our Minister, Mr. Curtin, pursuant to instructions, communicated these views to Mr. Westman, the Vice Chancellor of the Russian empire, who, in reply to our Minister, expressed himseif to the effect thay this was, m his opinion, an improper time to recall Mr. Catacazy, in view of the visit of the Duke Alexis to the United States, as in such event there would be no Minister to attend the Duke as the properly accredited repre- sentative of the Russian government, It was a very serious matier, and he, for the reasons stated, declined to bring the matter to the notice of the Emperor. A successor, he added, could not be ap- pointed in time to meet the Duke on his arrival in the United States. Our government, how- ever, uninfuenced by the arguments of the Vice Chancellor, in the farther pro- gress of the correspondence continued to in- sist on Mr. Catacazy’s recall. In the mean Ume, on the 16th of August, the Secretary of State had an interview with Mr. Catacazy, the only oné since June, when the first note was sent to Mr. Cur- Un. At that interview the Secretary informed him that his recall had been requested. 1t will be recol- lected that on the 5th of September a letter was published, purporting to have been written at St. Petersburg, and dated the 12th of August, or four days before that imerview, in which it was stated that Mr. Catacazy was. thoroughly sustained by hts government, and that during the interview a siini- lar assersion was made by the Secretary himself. It would seem, from what has already been stated, whoever may be suspected of being the author of that letter, that the assertion therein was incor- rect. After varions notes to the Vice Chancellor that officer finally brought the subject of recall to the notice of the Emperor, who requested, in the language reported, that Mr, Catacazy should be tolerated by the President until the visit of Grand Duke Alexis is over. On the 19th or 20th of Septem- ber, on receiving information of the request, the President, through the proper official channels, acceaed to It, coupled with the expression of a de- sige to manifest friendship for the Grand Duke, as wellas for his imperia) father; and Mr. Catacazy ‘was informed by Secretary Fish that if, when the visit of the Grand Duke is concluded, he shall not be recalied, his passport will be sent to him, and that the President will not recetve him unless ac- companied by the Grand Duke; and, further, that the President will at no time hold conversation with him, In connection with the Coming of the Grand Doxe, it showid be stated that the salute to be fired by our naval vessels on the approach of the Russian feet Will not be in bis hands, as he is only a subordinate oMcer on board ‘the ship, but in honor of the Rus- sian Admiral, the superior incommand. The ova- von to the Grand Duke, according to etiquette, will commence only when he shall land upon our shores, soon after which he will proceed to Washington, where he will be officially received, as were the Princes Albert and Arthur, of England. In the lat- ter case, when the Secretary of state was informed of the arrival of the Prince, ne pald him a visit at the resiaence of Sir Edward ‘Thornton, and arranged for his presentation to the President. The next day Sir Edward and the Prince proceeded to the Execu- tive Mansion and were conducted tothe Blue Par- lor. Soon thereafter the President entered the room, in company with Secretary Fish, who pre- sented the Prince to the President, There were no speeches other than in the way of conversation. Tne Grand Duke will remain here a day or two and then return to New York, whence he will go to Niagara Falls, Cnicago and other Western cities, and also to San Francisco, He has also expressed a desire to see a prairie, about which he has read so much, He will again visit Washington during the session of Vongress.

A fair representation of the republican faction which rejoices in the leadership of Mr. Horace Greeley assembled at the headquarters, Twenty- econd street and Fifth avenue, lastevening. In the absence of Mr. Greeley Mr. Sinclair Tousey took the chair. It was evident from the first that the assembled delegates had determined to come down from their high horse and support “the other crowd” recognized by the Syracuse Convention. They were all for compromise and harmonious action against the Tammany thieves, In_ fact, it was resolved early in the day, by the bolters from the Convention, to accept the situation, and at a meeting of delegates the following resolutions were adopted unanimously :— Resolved, That we unite in the support of the State ticket nominated at Syracuse on the 24th of September, and do cor- dially recommend to ail repubnicans of the State firm and active exertions to secure its success. Resolved, ‘That this committee deem it inexpedient to take any further action at this time on the general subjects with which twas charged by the public meeting of delegates, held in Wild's Opera House, at Syracuse, on the 28th of sep: tem! SINCLAIR TOUSEY, GEORGE ©. BENNETT, JOHN COCHRANE, JACO’ WORTH, THOMAS E. STEWART, CHARLES F, POLHAMUS. A. M. BLISS, The most noticeable event of the night was the presentation of a resolution by Mr. James L. Hasty censuring Collector Murphy and calling upon Prest- dent Grant to dismiss that oMfcer. A stream of rhetorical cold waver was immediately thrown upon the resolution and its mover by the engineers of the meeting, which completely squelched the fiery Mr. Hasty. The usual buncombe speeches were uttered, the usual protestations of inno- cence induiged in and the customary cheers given, and then a few desperate Greeicy men eulogized themselves and thetr faction, anathe- matized ‘the opposition” and cheered for those who backed them at Syracuse. The pith of the whole matter, however, is contained in the following pre- ambie and resolutions, whicn were adopted, and the meeting adjourned: Whereas the State Convention directed the State Commit. tee to perfect and consolidate the republican organization of the elty and county of New York go that all resident republi- cans shall be pany represented therein, therefore Resolyed, That the aignitied and prompt action of our del- egates in withdrawing {rom the Convention, upon the rejec- tion of the resolution of General Ward and the adoption of wn ‘and unprecedented report of the majority of the Committee on Contested Seats, meets with our un- qualified a; val, Resol wwe approve and commend the conduct of our delegates at the Syracuse Convention, Deprived of the Heal meadure of their representation, \y because of their un- complicity with Tammany Hall, it was pre- sterous in the Convention to offer, and would have been jenrading im them to accept, that moiety of a scat, the ofter Of which by the Convention was a. re' offered for crime, the acceptance of which would bave been their admission of it. Honor forbade that they should do less than withdraw from the Convention, and the good of the party ee that they should do no more. Resolved, That it be reterreu to the Executive Committee to receive from the State Committee whatever communica- tions they may bave to make, to report without action to the Genera! Commitee at any future meeting. Resolved, That in presence of the astounding disclosures of robbery from the city treasury by its legally constituted ans, and of the gigantic villauy which stalks in ofi- cial unabashed by the public gaze, we do hereby pledre our heartiest co-operation with ali good citizens here and elsewhere, ia the mart ana at the polls, to purify our public places and to scourge from them the thieves who bave ken- pelled here. Resolved, That no reasonable mind can doubt any longer of the complaints of the democratic party of the State with the Tammany Ring! that it might enjoy its usual iniquious city majorities, is succumbed at Rochester to the blandish- ments o! Tammany Halli; and, lest the ballot box frauds of the city should not crown with success the democratic ticket in the. , it has unscrupulously appropriated the treasury andas criminally has refused to rebuke the traitors.

Certainly not such men as have been seut to Congress for the past few years, bearing the name of democrats, else they would not have been banded together with only apparent motives, and, besides, of so infantile a character that none but schoolboys of very tender years could be at all ex- cusaple, to wit, for an opposition to all and every- thing which General U, 8. Grant advocates, wnether those measures be democratic or not, so long as they themselves are thought to be democrats. The new departure on this calls on their mixture of sloughed off radical republicans and some very doubtful democrats to beat their gongs furiously and shout “Ahoé, we are the great, the only democratic party!” No doubt this class of Tammany or gamony mush-heads and plunderers think they will, by their much talking and long prayers, be able to delude and humbug the innocent and unsuspecting portion of true and genuine democrats, but this cannot last long. Peuple are now, for the first time in several years, beginning to inquire what Is the best and quickest road to reform. Does the element of reform le in the archives of either party’s platform? The answer ought to be in the negative. Where, then, does it We? My answer is that it can be found by a return to the old Jefferson, Jackson and Monroe doctrines; that which js to benefit the nation at large. Not, certainly, the one idea of the schoolboy, who, be- cause some one in his class who happens to have inherited larger ideas and views than himself and has by those gilts drawn down the plaudits of all, except the one above referred to—tne one-ideaed booby; who, forsootn, would have school stop, and go not beyond his narrow and contracted brain. ‘The foregoing scems to be somewhat of an iliustra- Uon of those who would fain rule the once great party that was always noted for its econ- omy and honesty of purpose, under whuse wgis this country has grown to what It is—the political star of Bethlehem, But what a contrast now, when new men of a now party take up tne old line of march, which the ‘Would-be democrats have abandoned or wish to, for the only reason, as thev say, that some one outside of our cnerished party ts in favor of new democrats | 1s this not the case with regard to St. Domingo? Because President Grant advocated it he was assailed ag bemg a jobber, in buying or trying to steal islands; and really this he Was 80 oit repeated that those who bought newspapers for o year and a half Toust have pajd large sums of money for such pub- heations, and Tammany or some other ring had to Turmish the junds for all these known lies, since It has come to light that they were all concocted at and written irom Washington, perhaps by and with the connivance of some one or two unmacuate Senators, it may yet be shown how and why. ‘rhen those hoilow and thieving jobbers may come in tor & share of something more odious than either of the above epithets. It behooves tne reat Simon Pure democrats to keep their com- pass and steering gear in order, and not to be found figiting against one of their cherished principles— i. e., annexation of beng ve and especially against that whicn 1s of more vital importance to them as a Nation than any acquired, without any cost to the people of this country. When all the people on the island, or that part we want, are in favor of it, should the island ve annexed, and the pigmy clique, now misrepresenting the democracy in Congrees, what claims in future can that party have on the peo- ple of this country? Wo they, thus misrpreseoting, think they can much longer run @ ring of @lew speculators ut the expense of the whole nation? Members of cliques and rings, beware ! Uthello was once @ big brave, and by his tales of great dees won the affecuons of the Jair Desde- mona, but by listening to or bemg led by false and villanous counsel, committed the most heinous crime, the murder of the only true friena he pos- sessed and the one who sacrificed all for him. You, we presume, are aware of what was the conse- quence of that crime. He not only lost his occupa- tion, but his ule; s0, we fear, wi be the fate or those who are and have been engaged for a year or 80 past In the faise leadership of the party they pro- less to represent. Why should true democrats fol- low such men jor one moment? Do they not know these thieves are trying to decoy true and honest men in that party for one ovject, anu that selfish ends? [f, perchance, they succeed in their nefa- rious schemes so as io delude the people to the extent that they may be’ continued in office, woe W you, sharpers and dolt heads, of which names it is hard to choose the most appropriate ior your gender. You should come back to the old text-boeks, or back out and go into the land of Nod, taking unto yourselves companions suited to your crunes, ‘The People at large have become disgusted with hum- buggery, and want to know whom they select, You cannot ‘dodge the issue any longer. Are you demo- crats or are you impostors? If democrats, support democratic measures; if not, remain where you are, hybrids, Then we shall know how to steer clear of yuor indefinabie origin. We want no hybrids in our ranks. We shall have more to say hereafter on cone sistency, but adieu for the present, E. were preseat such lights of the party as ex-Sheriff James O’Brien, Brick Pomeroy, Jimmy Brinkman, Mr, Joseph Qolweil, Samuel G. Courtney and o*hers. At a little Big:c eight o'clock Mr. Courtney called the Meeting w order, and said that in the absence of the President, Mr. Havemeyer, he would nominate Mr. F. N. Bixby as Chairman of the meeting. This proposition was unanimously endorsed, and Mr. Bixby ascended the platform and approached the desk. He indulged in no rhetorical introduction of Dimsels, but simply informed the meeting that they had met for business and would proceed thereto immediately. Thereupon Mr. Louis M, Coates arose and offered the following resolution:— Resolved, That there be formed an executive committee of this General Coinmitice, and that the same be composed of the chairman of eacb’ ward committee, and the President and Vice President of this General Committee, and of such other persons as may trum tme to time be ordered by the General Cummittec. ‘The resolution was unanimously adopted. The chairman on Contested Seats then reported that My. Peter Mitchell was declared by the com- mittee on that business the head of the delegation from the Eiguth ward, and Mr. P, Fitzgerald from the Fifth ward. The next part of the programme consisted of the following resolution, which was proposed by some gentleman in the audience:— Resolved, That a finance committee consisting of nine membera be appointed by the President for the purpose of collectmg moneys, procuring aid and devising meaus to carry | ont the objects of this that funds collected by them into bands of the Treasurer, Tae motion was adopted with acclaim, and the Chair appointed the following gentiem y ©, Barrett, chairman; Julius Wadswortn, Courtney, Wiliam £, Curtis, Max Goepp, Clarence A. Henriques, Benjamin Wood, Solomon Meerbach | and Thomas A. Bancker. Mr. Courtuey then rose, and prefaced the fol- lowing resoluvon with a few remarks eulogistic of Judge Barna Resolved, That the thanks of the Reform General Committee of the city ‘of New York are due and hereby are tendered to George G. Barnard, Justice ot the Supreme Court of this Btate, and now ho’aing the Court of Oyer and Terminer in and for the city and county of New York, for his manly, and necessary charge to the Grand Jury In regard to the pre- ation of the purity of the elective franchise against re- ing, iHlega) voting and all the aiders and abettors thereof, including inspectors and canvassers, Resolved, That this commitice will aid the said jurist and his Court, not only in | heey 7 on the day of election ilie- gal voting, but also in bringing to speedy trial puniah- ment the perpetrators of fraud upon the elective franchise. Brick Pomeroy wound up the proceedings in a characteristic speech, in which he stigmatized the ‘Tammany magnates as thieves and plunderers, His remarks were frequently applauded, FIFTEENTH WARD GERMANS DENOUNCING CORRUPTION. and over mmitee, paid the A meeting was held last night at the corner of ‘Thirteenth street and Sixth avenue by the German citizens of the Fifteenth ward, irrespective of their former political belief, Dr, Hoffman, President, in the chair.

Y., Oct. 5, 1871. If evera town was wild it was this great Mlou® City last night, afver the adjournment of the Con-! vention. Crowds paraded the streets, thronged the hotels and saloons and made merry over the har« Monious action of the Convention and the supposed’ ending of the troubies which were anticipated, and which would undoubtedly have arisen had the Tammany delegation appeared or appiled for recog~ nition in the Convention. ‘There were some, hows; ever, who did appear to be over merry. The mem-~ bers of the reform delegation were, of course, highly Indignant at THE TRAP which had been spraag upon them. Angry discuss, sions Occurred from time vo time, but beyond sharp.talk and excited badinage, there were no demonstrations. 1t was supposed that the work oft the Convention would be very light; that the officers, now holding the offices to be voted for would be; renominated; that ali would go along smoothly, and that the work wouid be over in time to allow delegates to go home by the afternoon trains, 'Thas® hopeful ones, however, had reckoned without their‘ hosts, The 4—11—44 spirit of Ben Wood was aroused, He had beew working and wire-pulling with every promise of success to the party or delegation of which he is @ Member. Ledwith was aroused, and prociaimed| aloud his wrath and his chagrin. The venerabie’ Sammy Tilaen was aroused, and showed that he did’ not relish the idea of being out-generalled. Otten-/ dorfer and his friends were sore at the thought thas they should have been so completely ignored, They’ did not mean to let the matter drop 80 easily. Ut tendorfer grew bitter, and Boése grew loudly logical in demonstrating to several of his countrymen the situation in the county of New York, A SECRET MFETING was held and a plan of action decided upon which would turn the tables on Tammany Hall. Ben Wood claimed that Tammany went out most disgracefully by laying down its arms without making evens kick; that the avoidance of defeat was secured only’ by @ trick, but that nis delegation anew a trick worth two of that, and the meeting to-day would. show it. An attempt would be made, it was said, to effect @ reconsideration of the vote on Dewitva’ resolavion of yesterday. This, however, u appears, was not the move to be.mhade. It was bruited about, ever, after midnight, that a motion would be le to admit the reform delegates to the privi- leges OF the floor, or by special vote make them honorary members of the Convention. This ALARMED THE TAMMAKYITES, ‘ but they were too much elated to think of preparing any counter movement, and, as the result showed, none was made. During the morning rumours were flying around to the effect that Magnus Gross would be nominated for Secretary of State. This was spoken of some days ago, bat Mr. Gross would not have it. It was reported that a committee waited’ upon Mr. Gross about midnight last night, and re« quested that he would take the nomination, a8 he was wanted there as a representative of the Germai element. Mr. Gross finally consented, and it if rumored that this naming was done at the instance of @ prominent member of the Tammany delegation. This would not suit the reformers, of whose delega- tion Mr. Gross was a member, inasmuch as it might be regarded as a compromise with Tammany. They called a meeting this morning, and a resolution waa made prohibiting any member of the delegation tak- ing any nomination from the Convention. This action cut off the chances of Mr. Gross for the nomination, j as weil as his hopes for it, if he entertained any. Shortly before eieven o'clock this morning the Con- vention was CALLED TO ORDER. by the President, and business at once commenced. By this time the hall was fairly Milled, although not nearly so thronged as it was during the proceedings yesterday. A majority ofthe members of the reform delegation occupied seats among the delegates, while a@ few others were scattered here and there close to the delegates’ seats. Tney all looked earnest and evidently meant business. Colonel Fellows,, looking as spruce and natty as ever, with his curl neatly twisted, also sat among the delegates, and Charles G. Cornell faced the crowd from a seat im front or under the Chatrman’s table. The first thing done was the presentation of a resolution by Mr. Cassidy, of Albany, providing for the election of delegates to State Conventions in the city of New York by Assembly districts, without the call of any central or county convention. This resolution Was just OPENING THE BALL and sbowing the plan of action which had bees adopted by the leaders of the anti-Tammany party. It will be seen that it is a direct cut at the prestige of regularity claimed by the Tammany delegates, and that it really wipes out the authority or controt of Tammany Hall so far ag State conventions are concerned. Mr. Cassida, in presenting the resolution, under- took to explain it; but he spoke so very low or his collar was so high that nis words could not ge through, They were scarcely audible. Ho sawed the air with bis méaasive fists, bat the words thas reached the reporters’ ears were, ‘It is intend? Cries of “Louder, louder |’ came from all parts of the room, and it was evident that there was expected to follow some sort of a sensation. TOMMY WITH HIS HAT ON. Jadge Ledwith sat just behind the delegates, with his hat on, watching everything very closely. Row well D. Hatch sat among the delegates and never did anything but read @ newspaper, and was ap- Parently as little interested in what was going on as apy one could be. Wiliam E. Curtis, Ben Wood and others showed more evidences of interest than Mr. Hatch did: but the latter was neverless keep- ing his eyes and ears wide open. When Mr. Cas- sidy sat down Mr. Merrick, of Chautauqua, moved to amend by striking out “city” and inserting “State.” ‘THI3 RAISED A STORM atonce. The venerable Sammy was on his feet imme diately and thought the gentleman ought to with- draw bis amendment. The gentleman wouldn’s, He did not want to single out any part of the State, He ‘was evidently opposed to special legisiation, Mr. Tilden then, after a whisper trom Lieutenant Gov- ernor Beach, exclaimed, “I have no objection; I have no objection.” This brought a young man from Livingston to his feet. He woukn’s have it, aud he talked at che venerable Tilaen as if he more than Ms, Tilden bad ever forgotten, ‘ at fat ae
