For the tournament there will be many riders, but Baltimore county will work hard to gain the offeri imiles of the ladies, to say nothing of the prize to be awarded. FLEETWOOD PARK. Match of $500 Between Grace Bertram and Topsey—Grace the Winner. A few days since the owners of the chestnut mare Grace Bertram and the bay mare Topsey agreed, for the sum of $250 a side, to test the speed of these well known trotters, mille heats, best three in flye, in harness, over the Ficetwood Park track. The match excited much attention and interest_among turfmen, and they turned out yesterday afternoon in quite large numbers to witness the result of the contest. Altnough pretty. Grace was the favorite in the pools at two to one before the horses were called, big Topsey had a host of friends, and the money deposited in the box was ve large for such an event. Dan Pfifer was behini Bertram and Dan Mace drove Topsey, which gave the friends of the latter much confidence, but it was of little service, as Grace won the race in three straight heats, yet not without some little exertion on the part of her driver.

The Secrecy of a Democratic Caucus In- vaded by a Reporter, Who, with a Hole in a Wall, a Lantern and a Note Book, Gives to the World the Result of Their Deliberations. New HAVEN, May 14, 1872. The first contest has been had between the troops of Hawley and Ferry, and, as I predicted in my late despatch last night, Hawley has been repulsed badly on the first ballot. He was elected on the Senate ballot, the vote standing fourteen for Haw- ley and seven for Ferry, all the republicans voting for Hawley, with the exception of Mr. Woodward, a law partner of Senator Ferry, who voted with the six democrats. The vote in the As- sembly was—Ferry, 125; Hawley, 111; or a majority for Ferry of 14. Ferry was declared elected in the House, and the result of the ballot was received with demonstrations of applause by the democrats. Ferry’s majority on joint ballot to-morrow, taking wane ballot as a basis, will be seven, and as all vor to-day but three republicans and one demo- crat, there {s no possibility of defeating Ferry, unless the Hawley men induce some of the republicans to rode to Bae. This is not anticipated; but, on the contrary, it is believed that in joint cau- cus to-morrow sonie of the timid republicans who voted for Hawley will chango to Ferry, 60 as to be on the winning side. A careful analysis of the vote shows that jyst eighteen republicans, the precise number who signed the document opposing the caucus system, voted for Mr. Ferry, They all come from New Haven and Fairfield counties. All the re- publican delegates from other counties cast a solid vote for Hawley. It alse shows that in Fairfield pono, Perry's stronghold, only two voted against THE DEMOCRATIC CavoUs. Bop witestanding: the great precaution taken by the democrats to keep their proceedings secret last night by having an extra guard and making a per- sonal examination of every men in the room the Hartford Courant of this morning gives a very full report. It is sald that its reporter entered early in the evening the garret above the cut a hole in the ceiling and with a lantern, a note book and his ear to the hole secured tho Its appearance in the city this has created great consternation among tle demo- crats, as it clearly shows their a Mr. Martin, of Killingly, strongly advocated propriety of adhering to a democratic n and declared before he voted for Ferry he wan to know how the Senator stood, Nothing but success could re- deem the cern Oe Se in sooaptiag @ republican, and if it failed it would legrace he party all time. MARTIN'S OBJECTIONS, Martin said in tho course of his remarks hls objection to Yoting for Ferry was thut he wanted the democristic party to first show iis strength. Will those who urge that we should vote for Ferry toll me why we should vote for him to-morrow ? We caimoteloct hlin to-morrow 4" we have strongth enough. If Hawley carries the House then of course he isclecied. Wo have got to vote twice anyway, and haven't the Ferry men got backbone enough to hold out till the second day? They arc vot'ns, not to help the democracy, but on personal considerations, I take it. My polntda, What 1s to b> gained or lost by voting for the dem- cratic candidate or for Forry to morrow t E don't believe that the movement will succeed. CHAPMAN'S ADVOGAOY. Mr. ©. Chapman, of Hartford, vigorously advo- cates the coalition movement. ( He dectared that a score of republicans, willing to cut loose from party, are standing in exile, and we ought to stand by them.” ‘I am ready to say this: that I never yet yoted anything but the democratic ticket in my life; to morrow, if I vote for Ferry, I shall consider that lam casting & democratic vote, Applause) Tain -willin take the chances of this thing, and F belleve that we shalt succeed. The bolting republicans in going into this move- ment will burn the bridges behind them and cast their lot with the democracy—(applause)—and there 14 no es- cape for them. After alluding to the position taken by Mr. Waller tho other evening, Mr. Chapman sild:—I be- Heve that it 1s our duty to take this course for the pur- poe of disintegrating the republican party. (Applause.) ‘or this purpose we ought to vote for Ferry. WALLER’S HARANGUE FAVORING FERRY. Mr. Waller, of New London, made a speech In favor of Greeley to start with, and quoted Alfred EK. Burr, of Hartford, as authority that the democratic arty will favor the liberal republican movement, ies touching upon the Senatorial question, he sald: — Te we, fall, do, wo, not get credit for sustaining liberal men and medstires? and if we sucesed, It will bring aroat ood to the democratic party.

A TRAITOR IN THE CAMP. During the progress of the discussion the cry was raised that a reporter was in the hall, and a close examination was made; but as none was found the democratic braves became calm again. There were absent about thirty members. At the close of the discussion the caucus voted on the motion to vote for Ferry first, last and all the time, and it re- sulted in sixty-eight yeas. A small minority voted “no;’’ but the vote was made unanimous, and the proceedings terminated at a late hour, THE RYFROT OF TO-DAY'S BALI is the incre: of the bitterness that exists be- tween the republicans, and the band of bitter epithets about the hotels. Mr. Hawley’s friends accept the verdict with wry faces aud keenly feel it. "Phey are not sparing in their den of what they term the “recreancy” of the nis Who. voted for Ferry and struck hands with the demo- crats. The democrats have rarely been in a better humor over their little trick and give oeetee They have cer- I their feelings quite pe 3. palin ‘ccompfianed & grand coup Bat, I intinnsted it week they would carry to asuccessfalend. They have defeated a gentleman who had especially made himself feared by them, and every one concedes so completely scvered the republican party that in future elections they can easily carry the State. I attach still more im- portance to this coalition. It is self-evident that hand ted. the New England democracy have no sympatl with the old Bourbon democracy of the West, an are sincerely desirous of making the Iberal republican movement a success. This com- bination, formed in Connecticut, is en- tirely for no other purpose ‘than to unite all Usctete a to the old republican party on one platform. Whether it will prove successfal ‘we must await events to make known. The age men have made this an administration fight, an their defeat surely looks like a verdict of non-con- fidence in the party to which Mr. Hawley has at- tached himself. The Legislature adjourned immediately after the vote, The democrats are so jubilant that they have called a caucus of their party for to-night, to which members of the press are invited. ¥r 9 Election as United States Senator emt2 Certain To-Day—Another Dem- ocratic Caucus Last Evenings. it Hayes, May 14—Evening; ‘There is teas excitement fo-night over the battle, and Hawley’s supporters are compelled to admit that they no lopger entertain any hope.

PENNSYLVANIA. Programme of the Liberals Fore- shadowed—Grant to be Defeated by the “Liberalized Democracy.” PHILADELPHIA, Pa., May 12, 1872, The best test or a politician is his ability to be at all times politic—to adopt without a murmur the drift of public thought, and chime in with the ma- jority, whether his personal views coincide with their actions or not, and prove to his constituents tnat the things that be are for the best interests of all concerned, even when he has striven for days and weeks to bring about an entirely diferent situation. Ina word, he must manifest an adapt- ability to clroumstances, and be at all times open to conviction. The chairman of the liberal republi- cans of Pennsylvania has not always shown this un- questioning belief ia the wisdom of his coworkers, but he haa in other ways proved the possession of many essential requirements necessary to political success. The HeRaxp letter of a few days since, in which your correspondent characterized McClure as “the best disorganizer in the State,” has, in all propability, awakened him to the fact that an entire ge of base is absolutely required to harmonize the rdant clements in the constituency over which he holds transient sway. There is no better proof of this fact than the subjoined interview, had a day or two since. It occurred to me an interview with McOlure would assume, in @ measure, the character and power of an oracle, for there isno man in this State better posted on its political feeling or more competent to foreshadow coming events, provided a certain policy is adopted, than thissame rgan- Polltios with him has not been so much a looking to financial results as a passion to the fulfilment of gant Projects. With this end in view he has labored day and piee mixed with the highest and the lowest, studie their feelings and desires and has always remem- bered. The interview I requested was cheerfully ried of which a verbatim report thereof is fur- nishe AN INTERVIEW WITH M'CLURE. I was aware that he went to Cincinnati with ideas totally different from those entertained by the majority of the Convention, and was desirous of ascertalning how he had accepted the tform as drafted by that Convention of political archi- tects, and with little ado I asked:— “How are you satisfied with the work of the Cin- cinnatl Convention?” McOLURE—I was not of those whose counsels pre- vailed in the actton of the Convention. Two lead- ing theories were pressed upon that body. One favored the selection of the candidate known to be most acceptable to the democrats; the other in- sisted upon nominating the man who could com- iver. mand the largest republican strength. I favored the first name poltey, which confined me to Davis and Adams, and I supported Adams, who was the stronger of the two; but the other policy prevailed in the Convention, and Mr. Grecley was undoubtedly the man to fill the bill. At the time I doubtedahe wisdom of the policy that controlled the Convention. It was an experiment; but, 1 successful, 1t promises overwhelming success, while the other policy I regarded as making a union of the rant certain, and thereby removin; doubts as te success, But the developments o popular feeling since the ticket has been before the country have fully vindicated the wisdom of the policy that prevailed at Cincinnati; and I now doubt whether a nomination suggest democratic rather than republican favor would have met the present emergency, There wonld have been but lit- tle republican enthusiasm for either Davis or Adams, while a large majority of the republicans of the nation REALLY PREFER GRERLEY TO GRANT, and if the democrats do net repeat the folly of the last ten years nearly or quite one-third of the re- en ‘Vote will be cast for him, I am therefore lly satisfied with the action of the Convention, and believe that the very best nomination was made that could have been made.

In this State the democrats do not prefer Greeley, but the sober thought of their roe will coke decide in favor of Greeley to over- hrow Grant, There is an important State ticket to elect, and the absolute political control of the State for some years to come is involved.

This was done in Vir- ginia, Tennessee and Missouri, and will now be Tepeated in the national contest, (RESPONDENT—What would be the political effects of such a victory? McCiure—It is hard to tell just what the fature of such @ union would be. e union on national and other tickets will not dissolve the democratic party. It will maintain its distinct organization, and no ono will be asked to be anything but what he prefers to be politically.

It must have relief from carpet-bag governments, oppres- sion, military rule and centralization. It must have universal amnesty and the supremacy of the civil law, and it must fave some measure of fitness and integrity in public officers. To accomplish this men will agree to act together, regardless of past differ- ences or present political associations, and they will give to the country the blessings of free govern- ment and tranquillity. CORRESPONDENT—If Greeley is accepted by the re- Publicans how would Pennsyivania vote ? MoOrLuRE—Greeley would carry the State by not less than 70,000 majority. A few antediluvians would wrap themselves in their shrouds and wan- der around making ghostly Pe id omar san Some ‘Would fall into the Grant camp, as a few fossil whigs dropped off to Buchanan in 1856; but the liberal men of both parties would give such a majority as has never been given before in our State. CORRESPONDENT—Suppose the democrats should nominate a tale laa democratic ticket, what, would be the result? McOLuRE—Then the unwise leaders would be just what they ought to be if governed by such madness —hewers of wood and drawers of water for another decade. The most they could do would be to throw the election into the House, where Grant would be elected by # large majority of the States, and they would drive both branches of the republican party to unite on Congressmen, legislators, &c. Such a policy would end the democratic edt for no con- siderable number of Rene would continue to fol- jow such leaders, and & reorganization of par'ties would immediately follow Grant's re-election. Let me assure you that the mture of politics is with the men who wear party collars very loosely in both parties just now.

THE SOUTH A UNIT FOR GREELEY, MoCiURnE—The Southern States will vote almost a unit for Greeley or for Grant, If Greeley’s elec- tion is possible he will carry every State South ex- cepting South Carolina, and that will be doubtful.

FLORIDA. The Cincinnati Nominations Not Treated with Great Favor in the Sunny State. ‘TALLANASSEE, May 10, 1872, The State organ here, with an enterprise seldom seen in Florida journalism, made known to the people of this section in its issue of the 3d inst. the result of the Cincinnati Convention. The ticket is regarded here as slightly weak, and will probably not take away many hundred votes fromthe regu- lar republican nominee in the entire State, 16 colored people here seem to look upon Greeloy with suspicion on account of his bailing Jeff Davis and ‘some other freaks of the Philosopher, and with this element he is undoubtedly not the most popular man that could have been selected. ith the liberal democrats he 4s still less a favorite. At a caucus of the more prominent leaders of the democracy in this section, held a few evenings ago, it was deter- mined that in no event should Greeley have their support, and a demand was made for a regular democratic convention and nominee. With the se- cession element he is positively objectionable, as he 1s regarded by them as the champion of all the constitutional amendments and legal enactments that have been laid so heavily on the Southern people: Ifit was intended, therefore, by the mem- ers of the Cincinnati Convention that its ticket should address itself to the people of the entire South for success in the barges | residential cam- paign, it will be a failure in this part at least, if public sentiment, as publicly expressed, clearly represents the actual condition of the politicians on the subject. A VOICE FROM OHIO, pects iat The Bosom Friend and Associate of the Late Vallandigham for Greeley. Dayton, May 11, 1872. The following letter from Judge John C. Mc- Kenny, with reference to tho political situation, speaks for itself. The high oficial position of the writer, his well-known life, long democratic proclivi- ties, together with the fact that he was the bosom friend and associate of the late lamented Vallan- digham, give to the document additional tone, and will, no doubt, create much comment and careful consideration :— 3 JUDGE M’KENNY’S LETTER. DAYTON, May 11, 1872, R. J. Brigut, Esq., Editor Indianapolis Sentenel:— ‘DEAR SmR—Your favor of the 6th inst., enclosing editorial explanatory of your views in reference to the Cincinnati nominees, came duly to hand; but, in consequence of family bereavement in the sud- den death of our eldest daughter, I have not been able to reply earlier, Since the Sa of your letter the Democratic National Committee have issued their call for a convention. As to what will be the result of the deliberations of that body no one can now say, but itis to bo Bopen that they will act judiciously, wise and with a view to success. ‘The question now presented for the mature con- sideration of those who now compose that Conven- tion is whether they should nominate Greeley and Brown, or whether other candidates should be pre- sented, and in the solution of this problem it is a Mere question of success or defeat. It is quite evi- dent that the democratic party cannot succeed in the coming canvass unless reinforced by the aid of the liberal republicans, which support they cannot acquire by the nomination of a sti ht-out demo- cratic ticket. It is also manifest that the liberal movement, within itself, is not sufficiently strong to 80 Weaken the Grant wing as to insure his defe Whatever differences of opinion may have here- tofore e: between the liberal nominees and the democratic party, there is not to-day such diversit; in principle as to justify strict party nominees an thereby secure the re-election of Grant. A change in the executive administration of this government is now in the hands of the liberal and democratic Pte and is it not much better for the Democratic nvention to settle on the nominees of the Cincin- natiConvention, and thereby defeat Grant's re-elec- tion, which otherwise is inevitable? This can all be done without any disruption in or abandonment of the organization of the democratic party, State or local; and whatever may be our views as demo- erat about the Cincinnati nominees, their election will certainly result in 9 decided improvement over the present administration, both im ability and honesty, and certainly that {s how the main object is to be obtained, The intevesta of the people of this country evidently demand an immediate and radical change in the executive department anda thorough reform in the. administration, and any action of the democratic party in its national councils tending to produce this result should be cheerfully adopted, without re oe men. , g Rh a e have, as democrat Ls i@ enemy for twelve long Eh and continue defeat has been the result. It is, in my Opinion, much better to rout the enemy from the threshold ,of their camp, and do it with their commander at the head of our forces, thap to renew the fight under our command- ers and suffer continued defeat, By get re we conquer; Py, diguniting we risk the probabilities of defeat. the democracy refuse to By the Cincinnati nominations it is equivalent to an admission that Grant is entitled to an additional lease of power, With three tickets in the fleld Grant will be master of the situation. le has the entire machinery ofthe government at his disposal, and he will use it, and while his supporters will come up to the polls in solid phalanx the liberals ana democrats will be divided, and the fight for the mastery will unquestionabiy be between them. Let us exercise discretion, We gave our indirect support to the liberal movement; we are in duty bound now to give direct aid. ‘the times are mo- mentous, and an unhesitating willingness to co- Sperste will achieve a victory destined to preserve the honor, integrity and organization of the demo- cratic party intact. It is a conceded fact that Mr. Greeley is an honest man. Ifelected he will bay ee the powers that were at work. He wil! not djspute that the demo- cratic party, holding the balance of power, exer- cised that power in_h erest, He cannot repn- diate the debt he owes, mmanding, as he does, the unshaken confidence of the Southern people, and exerting 4n_ influence in the North that pro- vokes the possibility of withdrawing Grant from the canvass, he combines elements of strength and fitness that should not be ignored.

Appearance of the Model Sovereign. How He Was Impressed with His Grand Tour and How Brazil is Likely to Benefit by It, t Dom Pedro’s Desire to Visit the United States. Rio JANEIRO, Brazil, Aprit 6, 1878, In my last letter I gave an account of the returm ofthe Emperor. It is now my privilege to record his iinpreasions of his travels. Perhaps not in the history of royalty has there ever been known such tour as that just now finished by the arrival again in his capital of Dom Pedro II, the Emperor of Braztl—one which was, quite original in its kind, perfect in its design, thorough and complete in its execution. Though Dom Pedro II. is @ Brazilian born, he does not seem to be possessed of that vanity which is satisfied with its own shallow- ness, and which is palpable in so many Brasil- jans of position; neither has he longed for foreign travel in order to satisfy simply the desire for the pleasures of sense, but to obtain a sight and a knowledge of all those evidences of modern advance, material and mental, @ thorough knowledge of which, or at least a desire to know of which, is even more becoming in the sovereign than in the subject. With the exception of a short journey up the coast to Bahia and Pernambuco and his limited absence during the Paraguayan war, Dom Pedro II, has never been away from his capital, this city of Rlo Janeiro. Systematic in his habits, simple and plain in his personal desires and tastes, a perfect econemist of “time, and with an intenge longing for knowledge of all kinds, the Emperor of Brazil hag been at the same time A MODEL SOVEREIGN, seeking only the nation’s goed and never scoming to think of personal advancement or aggrandize- ment, and also a hard and thorough student. Shut out from a knowledge of the rest of the world, as he was for many years, an extended tour abroad has been a pet scheme of his, long cherished, but not until the close of the Paraguayan war did the opportunity seem to.be possible for its executions and even then there were many who hesitated not to put obstacles in the way of his departure, de- claring a prolonged absence unconstitutional, and in various ways placing impediments before him, which at times seemed unsurmountable. Desirous, of course, that the HERALD should know something of the impressions which this absence has made upon His Imperial Highness I early made formal application for an interview, scarcely hoping—certainly not strong in the faith— that it would be granted; for, with the transfer of authority from the Princess Regente to her father and the many oficial subjects which demanded hia immediate attention, it was certainly presumable that every moment would be occupied. I waa, then, pleasantly surprised when I received, in answer to my card and application, PERMISSION TO MEET THE EMPEROR at his palace at noon on the 4th inst. At the proper time I presented myself, and in due course ‘was conducted toa small ante-room, opening from reception room, where many officials anda num- bér of civilians were waiting, and, precisely at the appointed time, the Emperor, dressed in plain black, came from the reception room into the smaller ante-room, where I was, and walked toward me, cordially extending his hand; and, as he always seemed pleased to break from the custom of having his hand saluted by the lps of all who were permitted to meet him, so now he seems to mant- fest a desire to entirely abolish the custom. He took me warmly by the hand, and when I ree mained standing, kindly requested me to be seated. I gave expression to the gratification which his family and friends must feel in HIS IMPROVED PHYSICAL APPEARANCE. ; for his face wore a more healthy color, and the lines by which it is marked seem less apparent than of old. He replied that he was materially im better physical condition than when he went away; that such freedom from the cares of State and official rqntine- was what he had long desired; that he had endeavored carefully to abstain from undue excitement, and maintain such a course of habit as would give to his system the strength which he needed; that he had TRIED TO IMPROVE EACH MOMENT as it passed, and was conscious that he had ree ceived great benefit, mentally as well as physically; that lands and cities and localities, and men of the Old World, familiar to him by reading, he had now visited and seen, and felt a personal interest which No reading could occasion. I took opportunity to make indirect allusion to the possible benefit which Brazil must realize from this absence, now that he had returned, when he replied that he was not prepared to express him- self on that subject; that of course he had given the matter much thought, but was by no means at lib- erty to do precisely as he would desire, and must make applications or changes with much discretion; that he kpew that Brazitneeded the energy which made the countries of the Old World such points of industry and thrift, and it was his earnest desire to see his native land making more rapid progress. In reply to my question, which of the countries of Enrope had made the more pleasing impression upon him, he answered that ENGLAND AND GERMANY he must lpok back upon as the most interesting lands he had visited, and in their immediate future more fraught with vital interests to the peace and welfare of Europe. France, he said, seemed ut- terly prostrate, and the want of unanimity and high national alm was yet rending the country. When I sald I belleved the people of the United’ States were disappointed in his not extending his journey to that land, he replicd that a visit there had entered into his carliecr arrangements, but he considered it injudicious. to be a longer time away, and it was manifestly impossible for him to spend any less time in Europe and see and know of it with’ any proper degree of satisfaction; that A VISIT TO THE UNITED STATES still entered into his calculations, and he hoped the time was not far distant when he should be per- mitted to see a people and aland where had beer ma inprecedented strides in the aclence of eevee wad ta tbtiotal na The half hour having expired he kindly extended his hand and grasped my own, and bidding me gogdby tarned Into thé Téception room, and I was shown Céfriage. Genieland kind in his man- ner, it was a peculiarly pleasing interview, and the Emperor has made such progress with his Engtish as to speak with much freedom and apparently little effort. Last evening the residénce of the Conda d'Ea and the whole vicinity were iNuminated in a rhost charming and original manner, and the effect was very beautiful. The fashion and beauty of Rio were out to sec it, and the Emperor himself among the people and around the grounds duri the evening. This evening the Emperor holds a formal reception at the jace for the foreign am- bassadors. The Duke ol fe remains here a few Sax months, when he will visit the United States on his ‘way to Japan, China and India, VANDERBILT AT WORK.
