The New York Ratification of the Cincinnati Presidential Ticket. ‘The mass meeting last night in and around Cooper Institute, for the ratification of the Cincinnati liberal republican Presidential ticket of Greeley and Brown, was an immense and impressive popular assemblage. In another part of this paper we give a fnll re- port of the speeches and other proceedings inside, and at the several stands outside the building. Callit, if you please, a curious assemblage of floating materials, engi- neered by political soreheads and dis- appointed office-seekers, it was, never- theless, the very largest and most imposing and enthusiastic political rati- fication meeting drawn together in this city since the ratification of Seymour and Blair in 1868, And it was a more remarkable ratifi- cation than that of Seymour and Blair, in the distinct reprosentation of the different nation- alities on the ground, and in the manifestation on every side of a heavy political ground- swell among the democratic masses. Surely here, in this overwhelmingly democratic city of New York, at least, we must be in the midst of popular ratification of Greeley for the Presi- dency eclipses the ratifications of McClellan and Seymour. But what does all this signify? It discloses ® great change in the rank and file of the democratic party in favor of the proposed coalition of all the political elements of the country opposed to General Grant, regardless of past party associations or party distinctions. This meeting, moreover, in the interval to the Democratic National Convention of July, will doubtless operate to strengthen the movement inside the democratic lines in favor of Greeley and Brown. Unquestionably the main object of this extraordinary gathering of anti-Grant republicans and democrats, Americans, Irish and Germans, was to impress upon the Democratic Convention the popu- larity of Greeley and Brown among the democratic masses of all nationalities, and the wisdom of adopting them at Baltimore as the ticket of the democratic party. Nor can we resist the conclusion, from the mixed ele- ments and enthusiasm of this immense assem- blage in and around Cooper Institute last night, that the democratic party in adopting the Cincinnati ticket can insure for it a popu- lar majority in this city which will probably decide the vote of the State. But, above all, this powerful demonstration in support of this independent Cincinnati coalition movement will be calculated to spread the opinion that the best thing which the authorized represent- atives of the democratic party at Baltimore can do is to adopt the liberal republican ticket of Greeley and Brown. And why not? If the democratic masses are ready and eager to support the Cincinnati candidates, why should the democratic man- agers hesitate? They may object that this proposed new departure, if adopted, will be not only the abandonment of all ‘‘the time- honored principles of the democratic party,” but the disbanding and dissolution of the party itself; that a movement so radical in its character to divert the party from its tradi- tions, glories, ideas and purposes, if per- severed in, can result only in the dissolution and dispersion of the party, and that in the division of its members upon the Presidential tickets in the field General Grant will carry off the balance of power. But how stands the democratic party to-day? Is it not completely separated from its ideas, traditions, principles and purposes of even two years ago? In accepting the new amend- ments to the constitution, including negro emancipation, civil and political equality, does not this party cease to be the democratic party of the past, and does it not occupy the ground of the Cincinnati Convention and its Presiden- tial ticket? But here it may be contended that if the Cincinnati liberal party and the reconstructed democratic party occupy the same ground it is right and proper that the democratic party, with its three millions of voters, should lead the way in this proposed coalition, and not this little Cincinnati party, with its unknown quantity of followers. It must not be forgotten, however, that the very name of the democratic party since 1860 has ceased to be a tower of strength, and has become a stumbling block to its adherents. From its opposition to the war for the Union the history of this party since 1860 has been the history of the old federal party from its opposition to the war of 1812. Ina word, if the democratic party shall assume the control of the opposition forces in this Presidential fight the issues of the war will again be brought into the foreground, and with the same general results in the election as those of 1864 and 1868, while in the adop- tion of the independent ticket of Greeley and Brown the democracy will be relieved of these burdens of the war, and will be enabled to contest the Presidential field against the administration upon the living issues of the day. This is the imporiant consideration which has led some of the most sagacious | leaders of the democracy toa declaration in | support of Greeley and Brown, and this is the | great secret of this imposing ‘popular demon- | stration in favor of this new departure at | Cooper Institute. But still the probabilities at Baltimore are in favor of a regular democratic ticket. With the choice before them of Chief Justice Chase as their Presidential candidate the managers | of the Democratic Convention of 1868 had a | splendid opportunity for a campaign, which | would at least have placed the democratic party firmly upon its feet for the campaign of | 1872. But this inviting opportunity was con- | temptuously rojected, and we are now by no | means certain thatthe disastrous consequences of this folly have cured the party managers of their narrow prejudices. Assuming that at | Baltimore they will prefer the integrity of their party organization, such as it is, to the chances of success offered with the Cincinnati independent ticket, the consequences will be most probably that the democracy in 1872 will repeat the whig campaign of 1852, including the party dissolution and dispersion which fol- lowed that overwhelming defeat of the whig ticket. It must be now apparent to the most inflexible of the democratic Bourbons that the Cincinnati independent ticket has been ad- vanced too far to be withdrawn in favor of a democratic ticket, and that two opposition parties in the field can have no other effect than to strengthen the regular republican ticket in weakening each other. It was tho a political revolution when an independent | Polk in 1844, Buchanan in 1856, and Lincoln in 1860, It is understood on all sides that the Cincin- nati movement goes for nothing without the support of the democratic party; but, having invited the coalition, can the democracy reject it with any prospect of any advantage there- by? This is the main question for the Demo- cratic Convention. Meantime the regular Republican National Convention meets to-mor- row at Philadelphia, the action of which will give new and powerful impulse to thte ad- ministration party through the length and breadth of the land. General Grant will doubtless be renominated by acclamation; and though there are some doubts as to the Vice Presidential candidate the advantages of the situation aro so far in favor of Mr. Colfax, that he, too, will most likely be the choice of the Convention. In any event the proclama- tion of the unanimous renomination of Gen- eral Grant will at once draw the line of de- marcation between the republicans adhering to his administration and the republicans oppos- ing it, and so sharply as to disclose the neces- sity of a coalition of all the opposing forces if they would do anything in this con- test even to secure a substantial foothold against the administration party for 1876. We have had no developments as_yet in the politi- cal moyements of the day that indicate any loss in the popular strength of General Grant; but we have the strong testimony of this Cooper Institute opposition meeting of last night thet the ticket of Greeley and Brown is, at this desperate crisis in its fortunes, the ticket for the democratic party. The Great ratified. That unfortunate child of diplomacy, tho Treaty of Washington, still pursucs its un- certain career and evokes on both sides of the Atlantic a hearty disapproval of its existence. In the Houses of Commons and Lords last night the roplies of Mr. Gladstone and Earl Granville will not give much comfort to those who believe that on the ratification of the supplemental article our national existence hangs. Of public opinion in this country, outside of the stock-jobbing interest, it, may truly be said that the treaty's failure or suc- cess is a question of supreme indifference. The proceedings in the English Parliament last night, taken with our despatches from Washington on this treaty matter, will sufficiently indicate the miserable con- dition into which the negotiations have passed. The language of the English mem- bers is insulting in the extreme, and that of the English Foreign Secretary scarcely less so. It is no longer the two great govern- ments gravely considering a misunderstand- ing, but an exerciso of sharp wits by British traders, insisting that they get the best of a close bargain. The fact that our claims for indirect damages have been surrendered does not gratify those honorable gentlemen; they deny that we have any right to found a principle of international law on the capitulation. Indeed, the irre- sponsible members carry this much further, and speak of the Senate’s surrender with all the horror of Bob Acres’ serving man when he smelt gunpowder in his master’s challenge. The impression, therefore, grows on all sides into a belief that the treaty will lapse, and that tho arbitration at Geneva will be postponed without a hope of ever meeting again. In this it will not ‘evoke a single regret ftom any American who values his country’s honor; for though the opportunity to bind the two nations seemed once auspicious, the peace of the world will be better preserved in the lapse of a treaty so sadly bungled in all its stages. Government Gold and the Gold Market. Mr. Boutwell’s friends and some short- sighted financiers have endeavored to create the impression that, in consequence of the demands upon the government for gold, the Treasury had little that could be called its own and might be short of the precious metal. Their calculation was based upon the demand for redeeming the debt called in, the accrued interest on the balance outstanding, and the current wants of the government. They seemed to lose sight of the fact that there is a continuons stream from customs of four or five millions a week into the Treasury, which is equal to, or nearly equal to, the outflow. The Treasury statement on the Ist of this month showed that there was on hand $91,103,321 in gold and $11,207,313 in eur- rency—in all, $102,316,145. The outstanding coin certificates amounted to $25,834,600, which have to be deducted. There-would then be left in the Treasury, above all immediate or outstanding demands, $76,481,545. This isa smaller sum than Mr. Boutwell has generally had lying idle in his vaults. Take the whole period of his administration of the depart- iment, he has had on an average a hundred millions lying idle, and this for tho three years amounts to a loss in interest of eighteen millions of dollars. We notice that the Secre- of bonds and the sale of two millions of gold each week during the month of June, which will be a disbursement of sixteen millions for the current month. This will leave him as large ora larger surplus at the end of June than he holds at present, for the revenue comes in with a greater stream than it goes out. The gold speculators, who seize every chance to influence the market, have been endeavoring to discount the treaty difficulties with England, but have not been able to do much in that way. Neither shrewd business men nor the people apprehend any trouble with England or serious disturbance of trade should the | present treaty fail or a settlement be deferred | fora while. Gold remains pretty steady, fluc- | tuating only a fraction or two per cent, and the cause of it remaining up to thirteei or fourteen premium is to be found in the very large importations, and consequent demand to adjust the balance of trade against us and to pay interest on our indebtedness abroad. The export of specie for the week ending last Satur- day was $4,243,064. The total export since the first of January has been $26,716,225, Against this, however, emigrants may have brought near ten millions since the beginning of the year. We do not know what the supply | of the mines has been, but is, probably, more than equal to the loss. There is no permanent and sufficient cause for gold going up higher, or, in fact, for it remaining so high, and there is certainly no reason or proper object in Mr. division of the opposition forces upon two Or three tickets that elected Van Buren in 1896, Boutwell hoarding so much in the Treasury vaults. tary has ordered the purchase of two millions | The Proposed Reduction of the Police Force. The injudicious and unwise policy of the Comptroller in reducing the estimates for the police service continues to be the source of considerable hostile comment, The course intended by the Comptroller is impossible of explanation on good grounds. Instead of a reduction there should be an increase in the police force of the metropolis, The depart- ment, as now constituted, is as efficient as can be expected; but its efficiency is affected by he double duty which its members have to perform in many of the districts. To reduce the force now is sheer madness, and cannot be justified by any such plea as a curtailment of expenditure in order to prevent a deficiency. Take the rank and file of the police as it stands to-day and, as a body, it possesses the confi- dence of the entire community, and yet in numbers that body is not sufficiently strong to insure the peace of the city in opposition to the roughs and rowdies, cutthroats and assis- sins who haunt the highways and byways. No more dangerous step could be conceived to create demoralization in the ranks of the police than that proposed by the Coniptroller. Though courageous, even to the sacri- fico of life whenever necessary, the patrol- men of the police force fully know their weakness because of their limited numbers. Not only should the force not be curtailed, but it should be strengthened. Mr. Green should also be more prompt in paying the men the money which they so honestly and laboriously earn. It is a miserable pittance at best, and when withheld by the foolish eccentricities of a cranky Comptroller it becomes less valuable to the men to whom it is due, There is another point to which we wish to call attention. The new election law, passed by the last Legisla- ture, places at the disposal of the Bureau of Election two policemen for every polling place within the Metropolitan district. According to this, the services of fourteen hundred men will on election days be detailed for a specific duty; leaving but a more handful of men to perform the regular police work of the city. Seventeen hundred, at the outside, will be the gross number of the police after the proposed reductions have taken place, so that on election days,even with every man on duty, and no reserve-to call on, there would be only three hundred men to do the regular police work. This is simply outrageous. It is a false economy of the most glaring character, and we have yet to learn that decreased estimates on paper are the means by which good gov- ernment for the city can be secured. Serrano’s Return to Madrid. Marshal Serrano has found his way back to Madrid, and, notwithstanding the fierce oppo- sition of his enemies, he has been well received by the people, and his lenient course of con- duct toward the insurgent Carlists has been approved by the government. Zorrilla, who of late has made so prominent a figure as leader of the radical section of the progres- istas, and who, a few days ago, through his fierce opposition to Serrano, succeeded in con- verting the Cortes into a bear garden, has been compelled to abandon his position, and the radicals have elected a new leader in his place. It has long been evident that, since the death of Prim, Serrano has been master of the situ- ation. Like many men who know their power, he has not been too anxious to reveal it. Concealment, disguise, hesitation—these are no longer possible; and Serrano, more than any other man, more a thousand times than Amadeus, is master of the immediate situation in Spain. Serrano’s attachment to the Savoy- ard King has never been doubted. In the service of the young stranger monarch he has never hesitated; but his supposed near rela- tionship to the Prince of the Asturias has encouraged many and strange speculations. We have no reason to doubt that he will assume all the responsibilities inseparable from the office of First Minister of the Crown; and it remains to be seen whether his exercise of authority will result in the establishment of the Savoyard dynasty or in the restoration of the Bourbons-in the person of Isabella’s son. A MARYLAND MURDERER. The Trial of Davis for the Murder of Abraham Lynn. Wesrainster, Carroll county, mt June 3, 1872, The trial of Joseph W. Davis, as principal, and J. Hamilton Shew, as accessory, for the murder of Abraham Lynn, near this piace in April last, began | this morning, at ten o'clock, in the Circuit Court of this county. Chief Justice Miller and Associate Jus- tices Hammond and Hayden presided—the same bench that presided at the famous trial of Mrs. Wharton. The murder was one of the most daring and cold blooded that was ever committed in the State, and there is much bitter feeling among all classes in regard to it, as Mr. Lynn was very highly esteemed. Mr. A. K. Syester, Attorney General of the State, who was the leading counsel for the prosecution in the case of Mrs. Whar- | ton, is conducting the prosecution, assisted by John E, Smith and R. B. Norment. The icading counsel for the defence is W. P. Maulsby, late Chief Justice of this Circuit. The whole of to-day has been spent in endeavoring to get a jury, and not half the panel has been secured, and there will be considerable dimcuity in completing it, as there is much feeling against the prisoner. | THE INTERNATIONAL TYPOGRAPHICAL UNION. RicuMonp, Va., June 3, 1872, ‘Yhe International Typographical Union met at noon in the hali of the House of Delegates of Vir- ginia in their twentieth annual session. President Hammond presided. 8. C. Curry, President of the Richmond Union, appropriately welcomed the typos to Richmond, to which President Hammond re- sponded.

THE PERFECTION OF TYPOGRAPHY. {From the New York Register, June 3.] It was the general expression among the public yesterday that a better paper in all respects had never been issued from the press than the New York HERALD of June 2, 1872, The demise of its founder naturally led to an extensive demand for the paper, and the chiefs and assistants of each de- Pi ent, editorial, reportorial, ee ay baa and engineering, appeared to have vie each other in making the issue of yesterday 4 Sire tee monial of respect to the memory of the of dournalisu WASHINGTON. THE HOUSE WAITING ON THE SENATE The Tariff Bill Ready To Be Reported from the Conference. Andrew Johnson and_ the Buell Records. . WASHINGTON, June 3, 1872; The House Hanging Upon Senatorial Action. The House has been lying on its oars for the last few days waiting on the Senate, taking recesses and adjourning from time to time, but in readiness for any business which the Senate may return or send toit. The leading committees of the House have nearly cleared their dockets of business re- ferred to them, The Committee on Elections have disposed of all the contested election cases, except a few, which the parties themselves have consented to postpone until December, The Com- mittee of Ways and Means have disposed of all their public measures except the Tax and Tariff bill, which is now in conference between the two houses. The Committee on Appropriations have disposed of all their work, and have had no meeting for the past week. Nine of the twelve appropria- tion bills are now law, the three remaining ones being in the Senate—the Fortification bill, which has been reported to the Senate without amendment, but which is waiting for action; the River and Harbor bill, which is still in the hands of the Senate Committee on Commerce, and the Sundry Civil bill, which was up for action in the Senate, when Mr. Sumner moved to postpone it indefinitely in order to make his four hours’ speech against the President. The Committee on Public Lands have reported a large number of bills, They have been mostly of local importance, giving rights of way to railroads. The business of the House at this period of the long session has not been for many years so far advanced as now, and in many years that of the Senate has not been so obstructed by political debate. To-day, after the passage of @ number of unimport- ant bills, and the reference of others to com- mittees the House, at one o'clock, took a recesss until three o'clock. The members availed themselves of the opportunity to listen to Senate debates, At three o’clock the House reassembled and resumed routine business until four o'clock, when it adjourned until eleven o’clock to-morrow, when it will probably take another recess until after the Philadelphia Convention. There is still a determination on the part of a few Senators to force an extra session, with the hope of passing the Ku Klux, Civil Rights and En- forcement acts. There is a determined opposition to this in the House, for the reason that it is con- sidered impossible to get these bills before the House for action, as the democrats could success- fully filibuster for some days. It 1s quite probable the Enforcement act might pass, but quite unlikely that the Ku Klux could, by any possibility, doso. In the meantime, the House has to wait patiently until the Senate has exhausted itself with speech-making. Considerable dissatisfaction is expressed among the members of the House on the Senate frittering away its time in political debate, instead of taking action on the bills for which the House agreed to extond the time of ad- Journment. They consider that the Senate has treated the House with great indignity, and the democrats assert that they will not vote to extend the session one hour beyond the time already areed upon. Sumner and Stanton. ‘The personal friends of the late Secretary Stan- ton are highly indignant over the course of Senator Sumner in making use of his name as authority for @ statement concerning General Grant that is known to be contrary to the oft-expressed views of the deceased statesman, and which he cannot either refute or explain, and in giving notice of his inten- tion to-day to vindicate the memory of the dead Secretary Senator Chandler spoke for nearly the whole body of Mr. Stanton’s intimate associates in public life. It is remembered that the first person of distinction to congratulate General Grant upon his nomination at Chicago was the Secretary of War, who, for that purffose and to the astonishment of those in his office, left the War Department, in which he had been kept a close prisoner through the efforts of President Johnson to dispossess him, in violation of law, and went across the street to Gencral Grant’s headquarters, where his manner toward the embryo President was so unmistakeably sincere and cordial that General Grant was visibly affected by it, This visit was the subject of much comment at Army Headquarters at the time, because, although the relations of the Secretary and the General of the Army had always been cordial and the latter had often acknowledged the unreserved support and confidence he had re- ceived from Mr. Stanton, the position of the latter with regard to General Grant's candidature for the Presidency was not un- derstood, owing to the Secretary’s habitual reserve. The conduct of Mr. Sumner at this junc- ture is unfavorably contrasted with that of Mr. Stanton in regard to a circumstance somewhat identical. The latter had more than once been made by President Lincoln the recipient of his views concerning the Massachesetts Senator, and they were too much in accord with those now entertained by Summer's enemies con- cerning his egotism and arrogance and the paucity of his recent achievements to -be flattering to his vanity. On one occasion in particular, while in the Secretary’s room in the War Department, Mr. Lincoln lost his temper in warming up with his oft-recurring tleme, and demanded to know what Sumner had ever done that he should presume to dictate the whole policy of the government on every question and brand with treason and imbeciilty the men who had done the work of the nation while he stood vaporing with idle words. Neither before nor after the death of Mr. Lincoln did the Secretary, who made the best excuses for Sumner that he could devise at the time, ever repeat the occurrence to anybody so far as known, and only the excited manner and loud tones of the Presi- dent, which carried the conversation outside the private room, preserved the incident for the future. Andrew Johnson and the Buell Records. Ex-President Johnson, who arrived here to-day from Tennessee, in obedience to tne summons of the House Committee on Military Affairs, appeared before that committee this afternoon. He testi- fied that General Buell had published some state- ment in the character of a defence, a notice of which he had seen, but was never abie to procure a full copy of it, In this statement he had mentioned his name in connec- tion with the defence of Nashville, There was no personal quarrel between him and General Buel), propriety of the evacuation of that city. Mr. Johnson said that from subsequent events his own judgment was shown to be correct. Therefore if his name were mentioned in the records of the Buell Military Commission, alleged to have been removed from the War Department It must have been to his credit. He made this remark in order to discredit instaua- tions that possibly he had some agency in the re- moval of the records to hide unfavora- ble comments or testimony upon his con- duct while acting as Military Governor of Tennessee. The commission was held before he came to Washington to take his seat as Vice Presi- dent, and after he became President he never thonght of the subject of the records, his mind being engrossed with public affairs, nor did he know that they were lost until he saw publications to that effect in the newspapers. ’ When the ex-President came out of the committee room he was invited by a member of the House to visit the hall of Representatives, but declined, Numerous members of both parties gathered round him and shook hands, and one after another entered ConMerantlon WANA time He aepgared to be in, but merely @ difference of opinion as to the | Good health and pleased with the attentions of those who had extended to him a friendly welcome.

There appears to be a misapprehension of the facts in regard to the appropriation for the Police Department by the Board of Apportionment for the expenses of 1872. The appropriation for the Department for the first four months was $1,100,000, which was in ex- cess of the expenses for sald term of $22,000, .The Department of Police estimated that there would be required for the balance of the year the sum of $2,210,500, which, with the estimate of $1,100,000 stated above, makes an Ofvsaaenes eases cha sdacrive ceineras «= $8,310,500 There was set apart for the whole year by the Board of Apportionment........ 3,100,000 Difference.... seseeeeesses $210,500 From this sum oi 5 there was set apart $75,000 for buildings, region, 3 @ deficiency in the | ono as estimated by the Police Department, of 135,500. It was supposed by the Board of Apportionment: that this small comparative reduction could be dis- tributed over all the contingent and general ex- | penses and by dispensing with a number of clerks and police surgeons not considered necessary, thus effect a saving in the Police Department without causing any diminution in numbers or in the pay of the actual force. The Police Board as yet have taken no action in the matter, No embarrassment is anticipated from the action of the Board of Apportionment in the matter, BOARD OF SUPERVISORS. The Board met at five P. M. yesterday pursuant to adjournment. Mayor Hall presided. The following communication from the Comp- troller was read:— Jone 1, 1872. To tar Hoxorante tHe BoaRD or SurERvIsORS — A considerable number of persons have up to a } riod been and are now about the New York Coan late pe- ry Court ployment there does not appear to be adequate authority, and who, I understand, claim nty for alleged attendance. It is hot um- honorable body, that a burglarious entey was made last September into this office, and papers were abstracted therefrom which would have been vei useful in convicting various parties of gigantic upon the county, and that it tealleged this robbery committed by’a person occupying the position of j: tor of the building, who, having rooms there, had ac to them night and day. ‘It is very important in the pub- lic interest that the building should be put at once under safe, discreet and honest supervision, and that the num- ber of those who claim some sort of engagement should be removed, and not allowed to enter the building after the usual hours of businest. It Is scarcely, remarkable that in the general demoralization which has character- ized our municipal affairs entire neglect and confue sion should have so long existed, even in the humble and important duty of keeping and cleaning the offices and buildings, A stop should at once be put to this practice of keeping persons about the building for the purpose of cultivating claims against the county om the round of some pretended appointment, without per- forming any service whatever, and Ihave ho doubt that your honorable body will exercise its powors to that end. | Tom informed that one person and his family ts now, oF | | was jani- ORs, has within a very few days, occupied as a residente a portion of the bullding, under an appointment of the late Chamberlain as County Treasurer, is removing furniture and other effects trom the premises; while still another to act as janitor, under an resent Chamberlain as County uirer, Without any desiro to interfere in the premisen any farther than my duty in protocting the county trom claims manusactured in this way would lead me, I would respectfully suggest that the Board of Supervisors, with: whom [ think rests the power, shonld appoint some dis- creet person as janitor of the building, who shall have charge of all its offices and of the Heceasary sweepers and cleaners, Very respectiully, ‘A. H. GREEN, Comptroller, The communication was referred to the Com- mittee on Civil Courts, and the Board adjourned. EX-GOVERNOR DENNISON AND THE VIOB PRESIDENCY. Coumuus, Ohio, June 3, 1872. The State Journal to-morrow will contain the fol lowing editorial, double leaded :— It is not true that Governor Dennison has wirh- drawn from his candidature for the Vice Presi- dency. It is true that he has placed in the hands ‘or Mr. Craighead a letter to be read to the Ohio delegation at Philadelphia, making the conditions of his being presented as a candidate the vigorous support ot the Ohio delegation and @ fair prospect of his being nominated in their opinion, He explicitly declines all complimentary votes. From this it will be seen that the Ohio dele- gation will determine whether or not Mr. Dennison Will be presented to the Convention. He leaves the'decision wii EUROPEAN MARKETS. —$<$—— oxpox, June 3—5 P, Mim Consols closed at 92% joney and {y% for the account, Amotican securities closed qnict and tiehanged.
