Mr. Francis Kernan @rose and stated that a delegation of gentiomen from New York were present, headed by ‘Mr. Oswald Ottendorfer, who claimed to represent the true democracy of New York city, and that they Geaired to have their claims heard by this Conven- ‘Sion, and he offered a resolution providing tnat Mr. Otrendorfer, Mr. Abraham R.

QUITE A BREEZE ‘was created by the nomination by Mr. Kernan of U’Conor for Attorney General. The present bent, MarshalljB.

The State Commit- ~@ Was then announced, and with the usual votes | He ie : thanks for everybody and cheers for the ticket, ive Convention adjourned. The entire proceedings were REMARKABLY GOOD NATURED, dering whe bitter feeling which existed on the mmany question, aud the entire affair was most Greditabie in every way. ‘The vencrable Tilden was our Correspondent and interroga! every way.

I certainly woutd-not insist on baviug them admitted as a solid }, but each as an independent delegate from an Assembly disirict. We were determined to kill of this centralization, and when we kill off Tammany Hall we do not want any descendants or imitators. The Tammany folks are qutgeneralied ths time, and | Wwe ave certainly gained a great victory ‘over them—a great and lasting victory 1am sure it will ” a 414. Ben Wood expressed views similar to those of Mr. Tildeo. ‘We feit rather cut iast night, sighted g Convention had ‘and | directed my inquiries #0 as re- is opinion is delegations were now ought that on the whole they achieved triumph. He acknowiedged that Hoey ed looked upon the predicament of himselt and friends as one of defeat In consequence (troduction of Tammany’s withdrawal, 01 tne reception accorded to the document and of the reso- lution which followed immediately excluding all dele- Gations from New York city (rom representation in the Convention. He did not believe that the Conven- Mon adopied that course with a view of administering any rebuke to the united reiorm democrats or in any manner shighting them. Nor would he do the Con- vention the mjusice of saymg that they were actuated by any desire to shield Tammany, but they reached their decision as a matter of con- venience, based wholly on the question “regularity? of appointment. They sent Tammany back to New York to clear her skirts of the charges laid at her ieet, and simply kept their Seats in tne Convention warm for next year. If the | Convention had admitted the reform party this year ‘tt would be very diiticult for the Convention to exciude them next year, aa they would have acquired the prestige of “regularity,” whicn Tam- many bas ‘eld for years past. But the action of the Convention to day he considered placed the reform- ers in @ most Dromeane position. Whatever of triumph has been secured by any party claiming to | represent New York city most decidedly belonged to the reform delegations, They had triumphed by be.ng heard in vindication of tneir nis, while Tammany came with lowered head and quiver'ng hp, having neither right nor reputation to entitle them to a hearing. The reformers were able man. fully to look the Convention in the face and plead their case. Tammany had shruak away and did not dare to ask such permission. The adoption of the resolution regulating the future elec- tion of delegates trom Assembly districts was, in his opinion, another triumph, as it would weaken the power ol the Ring in the manipulation of the conventions whose duty it will be in future to elect such delegates. It would give the peopie @treer and fuiler opportunity of choosing their del- egates, instead of merely endorsing the positive and uitumate selection of the wire pullers, and that was one of the chicf aus of U reform democ- racy, to secure a future representation { in all public ofices which should be more nearly representative of the popular will than the desires ol rings or cliques who assumed to Tule the choice of the Tammany was too people. | oligarchical, and he desired to see the people act as their own oligarchists in such matters. The re- formers’ third triumph lay in the fact that at least two of their delegates were nomina‘ed for places m the State tcket, though alterward withdrawn, while no mention was even Made in the same connection of any man allied with bert 8 Hall. Mr. Ottendorfer looked upon the platform also—especialiy where it treats of the adairs of New York city—as being largely tue result of reform influences. So tar as tie was per- Sonaliy concerned he came here in the in- terests or the people only, having no personal desire for any prominence, and was pleased that wae coutemplated use of his owa name as a candidate on the State ticket had been dropped. He pre- sumed, of course, that Tammany, whether purged of the charges against her or not at the time of electton, would exert itseif to elect its own candi- dates in the city. In spite of this he predicted the loss certainly of several of the New York Assemblymen and other local officers. Lf, however, the people do their duty to themscives as fully as he now believes they will do, they could achieve a great victory over the Ring. Proaching election would bring out a tremendous vote in New York City, and ali the additonal mgth brought out would assuredly be in Opvosition to Tammany, while the defection was now s0 great that hunareds of people who have as a matter of form voted what was called the regular tcket would be more scrutinous of their candidates tn future, and Would not take them on the mere strength of the word regular being ae on the ticket, It was Just such @ sense of responsibility a3 this that he himself and the reform party, as a body, desired to awaken on ie part the people, Outendoricr _ concluded the whole the reform democrats of New york city were reasonably satistied with the influence they had been able to exert on the Convention in behalf of the people, and that they anticipated as reagon- able a share of success in the coming election. One of the LEADING ANTI-TAMMANY DELEGATES Informed your correspondent of the plan of action that had quietly been decided upon. It was an im- itation of the tactics followed by John Covode in Congress, The resolution asking that the claims be heard was to be presented. Mr. Kernan was to speak for it. If he could not get a hearing some twenty or so of those present, delegates or not, were to jump up’ and: address the Chair. Then whichever one he would Ze was to give way to Mr. Kernan and let him fight. If any of the members of the deiegation were rec- ognized and was questioned as to whether he was @ delegate he would say he was, but fs claims had not been heard and he would then give ame Mr, Kernan, though a wordy squabble was to be made until they got some sort of recognition. isut every- thing had passed off so pleasantly and peaceabiy and so satisfactorily it was mucn better. ‘The STATE COMMITTBE met this evening at the Osborn House and unani- mousty re-elected Mr. Tilden Chairman and Mr. Cassidy Secretary. The Chairman then appointed as the Executive Committee, Licutenant Governor Beacn and Messrs, Warren, Cassidy, Gordon, Day- toa aud Fowler. y PxE CONVENTION. PROCEEDINGS Rocugstgr, N. Y., Oct. 5, 1871. The Convention was called to order at elcven A. M. THE CITY AGAIN ON THE TAPIS. Mr. Cassipy, of Albany, said:—“I have got a res- olution calculated to remove an objection concern- ing the organization of the party in New York, and ‘Will read it.)

Mr. fAULENER, of Livingston, looked upon the amendment as effectually disorganizing all existing organizations in the State, Further discussion was had as to the effect of the resolution, JaRvis LORD, of Monroe, opposed the proposition | of Mr. Murray. He said the organizations in the country were now perfect and needed no change; but so far as the city of New York was concernea the resolution ought to have been adopted forty years ago. ‘The amendment of Mr. Murray to extend the pro- vision throughout the State was negatived by a vote of 83 to 18. Mr. Grezx, of Onondaga, moved the previous question, which was ordered, and the resolution, as offered by Mr. Cassidy, was adoptea. LET THE REFORMERS BRB HEARD. Mr. KERNAN offered @ resolution to allow Mr, Ottendorier and two other members of the reform delegation from New York to be heard, cacn fif- teen minutes, in behalf of their claims to seats on this foor. He said these gentlemen had come here, and they bad been unable to obtain a hearing here or anywhere else. He (Mr. Kernan) was in favor of giving them a hearing. It will satisty them, and it will satisfy many others, and can do no harm, Mr. DELEHANTY, of Al any, insisted that the question of representation from New York was settied yesterday, and he did not think it proper or 1n order to reopen the question now in this man- E cut of by atrick, and many of our men in- tended to go liome and carry on the fignt in the city @nd county. { nad a consultation on behalf of the | with Mr. Kernan, Mr. Tuden, Mr, Cassidy and Governor Scymour, and explained to them exactly now the primary elections were mal by Tammany; that they were ordered to be held at Certain designated places, and uniess they bore the namie of these particular grogshops they were not ‘The gentiemen | consulted with promised 4m the resolutions that were passed I went among the delegates, induces our men oeete mene te we have all that we expected. je were heard in open Convention, and our claims credentials form tof the proceedings, while al that of Tammany is the acknowledgment that iw ‘were ashamed to aged their | claims. resulution providing for the elecuon The of delegates 1s the death-biow at the Tammany or- ganization, and they feel 1t.”” BOSS TWE: Just ‘we wanted. to that } a Into the em this morn. before it was brought So Sr ‘& say here. n't wan! re ‘you <now, and | tnougnt it was better to letthe break out here in one spot than let it go back to New York and breaking out in several ner.

Mr. Lucius Robinson also favored the proposition to give these gentlemen a hearing. Mr. DELEWANTY, of Albany, insisted that this question had been settled. The Tammany deie- gation had voluntarily withdrawn and gone home, and now an attempt 1s made to spring a reopening of the question oa the Convention. It was not lair nor ust, ‘ THE TAMMANY FIGHT BEGUN AGAIN.

OPTENDORPER'S SPRBCH. Platiorm and said:— In the first place, I wish to correct a statement b the gentieman trom Kings county (Mr. Kinsella), from which it appears tnat he believes that our delezation is representative of the democrats of the city of New York of German descent. Tnat is Partially the case. The German Deinceratic Union organizauion in Lhe city had, it 18 true, appoimted a delegation ‘6 its Convention for the purpose of | Preventing the democracy ot the city uf New York Irom being misrepreseated by Tam:nany Hall; but soon as it Was Kno Vi that there was an organt- gawon outside of that tae German democrats o! the cily expressed themselves sausfied Wil the repre- sentation they received in this Union deleza- uon, and they passed a resolution declaring | that they considered themselves represeaied in this delegation and requested t at tt be admitted Ww seats, It was not the purpose of any of our con- stituents representing the d@emocri ‘of the city of | New York outside of the Tammany tion. It was not tne purpose of our constituents, | Boris it our purpose, in secking \oserve in this ; Convention, to assume to disturb its harmony; neither was it our 1utention to exercise any undue | mmfluence on the considerations and resolutions of this Convention. Our sole and only purpose was | to prevent the democracy of the city of New York | from being represented in tis Convention by the | representatives of the organization which is under | charges of | @nd thus preventing this Conveation from becom- ing identined with the charges made and exisung | against Tammany Hall. ‘that, gentlemen, was our il orgaulza- ; ; exclusive purpose in coming here and claimmg | ) Seats in this Convention. That purpose was par- tially secured by the withdrawal of the Tammany Hall representacives. But under the operation of the previous question it was then declared that democracy of the city of tion, gentiemen, you are exposed to the suspicion Vhat you have declared that the ‘'ammany liail representatives cannot, under present circum- | stances, under the great indunaiion that | they have caused by the frauds in government of New York, be admitted, out that although you cannot admit them at present these seats shall be kept free, 1 order to allow their return, and taat chey nay take their seats again ag soon as the storm of indignation against them shall have subside. 1 believe that by this interpretation of the action of the Convention yesterday great in- justice would be done to the majority of the mem- bers of this Convention. Nevertheless, it is a fact that cannot be denied that the action of the Conven- | tion yesterday will be interpreted in this way not only by our opponents, put also, to a great extent, by the adherents ol our party, and to prevent tnis ‘misfor- tune was our purpose in requesting the gentleman from Oneiaa, Mr. Kernan, to give us an opportunity | to appear before this Convention and state our case, | the state of affairs in the city of New York and ‘eave You in your wisdom to take such measures as would most unmistakably declare to the democracy of the city of New York that in the future, as in former times, you adhere to the principle that ‘honesty is | the best policy.” (Applause.) Under these circum- | stances you will not allow yourselves by any con- | Sideration of expediency to depart irom this princi. ple. (Applause.) LAWRENCE'S SPEECH. Mr. ABRAHAM R. LAWKENCR, another member of | the delegation, then proceeded to address tne Con- | vention. He said they were aggrieved by the action of the Convention yesterday, waich action cut them off from being heard. They felt particularly aggrieved from the fact that the proposition came from the county of is.

He warned the Convention against such action, But admit us, he said, and we will guaraatee you that New York will not be lacking in sustaining your ticket, CHARLES ©’COXOR'S LETTER. Wittiam E, Curtis was the next member of the delegation to address the Convention. He opened his remarks by saying he had a letter from that life- long democrat, Mr. Charles O’Conor, which be would ask to be read at the closing of his remarks. | On motion of Mr. TLLDEN the ietter was read with- out taking the time occupied out of that allowed the speaker, as foliows:— New York, Uct. 2, 1871, Deak Str—Desirous of being contnoally present in wese trying times at the pont where such a share of useful services as may imy power is most likely to fiud its opportunity, | determined some Weeks siuce to remain here until the November eleotion, consequently the duty of reoresenting the Nineteenth Assembly district in the Democrauc State Convention at nester will devolve upon you alone. This city, the third in Christendom, presents to mere personal greed a promising fleld for enterprise in many forms, Among them the very convenient instrumentality of legislative acts and administratuve management could not have been overlooked. It has of late been sedulously cultivated for selfish Purposes by individuals professing every variety of pubitc opinion, and tne which have aiter- ately possessed the reins of power, as well as the citizens who generally take little part with either, may be, per @ censured for not devoting More attention to those constitutional safeguards by which the pubic tnterest might have been effectually protected. That all have been more or Jess censtrable in this somewhat venial degree may ve admitted, and, as 8 conse. quence, evils of the greatest magnitude have grown up in rank luxuriance. In framing the pres- ent constitution of this State a remedy for supposed injustice was magnanimonsly but ‘anwisely con- ceded to the opposition, from which incaiculable evils have resuited. The grade ol our representa- uve bodies nas been lowered, and a facility thereby afforded tor polluting, by bribery and corruption, the fountains oi legislation. Within the last two years a charter has been provided for this city Which substantially denudes the people of all con- trol, and placed their political interests and indeed their private fortunes in the Dauds of a cabal. It is asserted by the foes of this measure and searcely denied by ita friends what corrupt appliances moved to its port the legislators by whose acts and intluences it was carried. Some of the successful adventurers in this field of political speculations have not been content to enjoy in secret their wl-gotten gains but have rioted in unaccustomed luxuries,and Haunting their magnificence before the lic gaze have excited the amazement of some an pene the jealousy of others. Such is not unfrequently the career of vice when doomed to an early retribution. Such would seem to have been the case tn this instance. In- quiry Was stimulated, search made and detection accomplished. The foul spirit of corruption was compelled to spring from its crouching posture. It stands revealed in all its monstrous bulk and giant stature, terrifying by its power and disgusting by 1s deformity the honest masses. The people are ressing forward for redress with an energy which 13 rresistiole. The judgment of that popular indigna- tion which bas been thus suddenly aroused is as lia- bie to err in the details of its action as always isthe honest wrath of a singie Individual when awakened by the unexpected discovery of a great offence, Er- fectually to guard against such misdirection 1s the duty of the hour. One merely accidental circum- stance has piaced the democratic party. in an aiti- tade which exposes it to the hazard of being hastily and unjustly Involved in the larger measare of responsibilliy. The culminating poiai of maladmin- istration happens to have been reached at amoment aud within a precinct when and where the party holds nominal sway; hence arises an exigency calling for the display of great sagacity on the part of sound democrats, and appealing most forctbiy to their moral principle. The Convention now about to assemble will be the acknowledgeu representa- Uve and official organ of the democratic party. Its action on this subject must be regarded as speaking the sense of the entire democracy. Consequently that action shoud evince nothing less than an absolute freedom from all complicity im the great oficial crime of the day, und an utter intolerance toward all persons justly suspected of participation in or sympathy with it. A different line of conduct would inflict upon our party an incurabie wound. In that event responsti- bility by the whole party at least as accessories after the fact could noi be avoided, It would be vain to argue at the bar of outraged public sentiment that the impeached individuals are few in number, that in the past they have not been deemed either 10 deed or word exponents of democratic opinions, and that they have never been,known or nized or pretended to act as teachers of dem ic doc- trines, Vain and ineffectual, however true in fact, would be the assertion that the metuod of organiz- ing @ corrupt city government was o1 de- vised oy some conspicuous republican Gamallel and learned at his footstool. Though all this should have been proved it would not avail us. If ‘the present. city rulers or their avowed friends should be received into the bosom of your representative council, of on any terms or in any degree be voler- ated , 1t, the odium of their position would inevita- DI to us. The party cannot continue to exist unless the Convention, as its accredited organ, Shall stand aloof from these individuals unul their fitness for puolic confidence shail have been satia- oy vindicated on afair public investigation. In vocating your admission, or, to express my- self more precisely, tn opposing the claims of your competitors to seats in the Convention, | would ad- vise this line of argument. It may be objected that it assumes the fact of malversation, and also that the sccused officers are justly held responsibie. ‘The former has searcely been dentea: the tatver can- not justly be questioned. | Personally, | have a strong conviction that one of them has himself com- mitted no peculation, For anything per. sonally agg to me, and, periaps, for anything and’ . trretragibiy Known, wey may all guiltless to this ex-tent, But, if they have committed ort the eatabuaned, beyond @ the city ! to seats In the Convention, you will taxe care that | Whena {| the delegations.

A simple Inspection of the vouchers on file in the pub- lic paymaster's ocice was alone necessary. From a perusal of these existing documents one result or the other was inevitabie. ‘Ihe vouchers woe demanded, @ day was assigned for their production, aud durtog the stil hours of an iniervening niga? that puab- Ue office, Plicated oft cretiy entered, as if by a iurglar, and these very pap rs furtively abstracted, Osan there be any doubt of tue just conclusion from tiese facts?

Committee,” or any ‘“Committes of Seventy.” At the em trance to the new Court House and around the doors of the Comptroiler’s office were groups of men, evidently laborers, who were earnestly en- gaged in conversation as to tneir prospects of get- ting thelr “back pay” this week; but unless tue passer-by staid to overhear their talk he would not have known the subject of tt, and when he did overhear it be would have found the men much more patient and philosophic, under a deprivation that is VERY HARD TO DEAR, than he might have reasonably anticinated. The fact is, that the men who are employed by the city in the capacity of laborers, and who have been ma- ligned by the imputation of having a disposition to riot, have looked the present crisis. in the face with & manly fortitude that does them greatcredit, They have accepted the inevitable, and are disposed to labor and to wait, because they are quite certain that they will receive their pay sooner or later. A visit to the DEPARTMENT OF PUBLIC WORKS yesterday falled to obtain any encouraging infor- mation that would justify the belief that these sons Of toil, who have become innocent sufferers by rea- son of these city frauds, would be very promptly Placed in @ position where their anxie- ties as to their “pay” would be speedily and satisfactorily dispelled. This was partly owing to the absence {rom tue city of Mr. Tweed, who is Chairman of the Public Works Commission, and algo to the fact that under any circumstances it was Clear that tne action of the Deputy Comp- troller would stop the supplies. What this means may be partly realized when it 1s considered that under the last char- ter the following works are subject to the control of this department:—The Croton water sup- ply, the collection of the revenues arising from the use or sale of the Croton water; the lighting and flan Of all the streets, roads, places and avenues or the city; tne construction of pablic roads, the care of public buildings, tae filling up of sunken lots, sewers and drainage, street vaults and street paving. In discussing the provable consequences of THE COMPTROLLER’S ACTION yesterday at the Department of Finance it was con- ceded that the consequences thereof must necessa- rily be extremety aisastrous to the city, but the Comptroller had no alternative but to obey the in- junction which the law had imposed upon him, Any other action wouid render him personally liable to the consequences thereol. It is expectea that Mr. Tweed may be able to make arrangements to-day by whica not only the laborers will be paid, but also the department will, toa limited extent, continue to completion several new works already begun and the great works on which the sanitary condition of the oh a 13 almost dependent.
