Se THE CAMPAIGN IN BROOKLYN Republicans of Kings County Ratify the Philadelphia Nominees. Grant's Government Declared Wise, Safe, True and Honest. intitle Bpeeches of E. Delafield Smith, Senator Nye, of Nevada; General Van Buren, of New Jer- sey, and James Lynch (Col- ored), of Mississippi. ‘The adherents of General Grant and Henry ‘Wilson are not to be deterred from giving expres- Bion to the spirit of determination which animates Shem to stick to their chosen candidates for the Presidency and Vice Presidency to the last. This fact was filustrated by the liberal turnout ef the regular republicans resident of Kings pounty last night. The occasion which led to the @emonstration was the ratification of the Philadel- phia republican platform and the nominees of that Convention. The mass meeting was calied under the auspices of the General Repubiican Committee pf Kings county. The meeting was held in the Academy of Music, Bnd was well attended by both men and women. Bhortly after eight o’clock Mr. Franklin Woodruil tallied the meeting to order, and introduced as o®hairman ex-United States District Attorney S. B. Billiman, who came forward and “opened the bau,” asserting that the mutiny which had taken place in the republican ranks pro- eeeded alone from disappointed aspirants for pitice, who bad not taken with them more than a “corporal’s guard.” They had secured as their allies aremnant of the democratic party, and the republicans had not the least intention of sur- wendering the reins of the government, which had been so ably administered by General Grant, into the hands of that party which had betrayed the in- Yerests of the country during the late war. The Beoretary then read @ long list of Vice Presidents of the meeting, among whom are Horace B, Ciafin, A. A. Low, I. B. Duryea, N. D. Morgan, J. B. Hutch- Inson, G. G. Bergen, J. ©. Brevoort, Harry Elliott, Dwight Johnson, &. J. Whitlock, A. B. Bayliss, J. A. Perry, Albert Amermann and Charles Fowler. HE RESOLUTIONS.

BE. DELAFIELD SMITII, pf New York, said that from the spring of 1841 until that very morning he had been a constant reader pf the Zrivune. The grotesque position of that por to-day was illustrated by a paragraph at the ead of its editorial columns a few days ago:—“The Hon. Fernando Wood endorses Horace Greele; The Mon and the lamb. (Applause.) He (Mr. Bmith) stood there to protest against that habit of American politics of personally denouncing those who differed with us in political views. Mr. Greeley ‘was undoubtedly eminent in politics and famous as @ journalist, but when he undertook to lead the party of the war into the democratic camp, the re- publicans would say that he might go there without contamination, they desired to keep away from that cavern, While Mr. Smith had been fair % the Cincinnath nominee he claimed that the Azcrican people who trusted General Grant would bot be insulted in his name. The speaker the: roceeded to defend the President from the at nade by Senator Sumner, and said that the vulgar criticisms which had been in- duiged in by the press and politicians were | seen through by the people,fand the indictment feil | through. Then Mr. Smith asked all to “awake, frise, shake oY the dew drops that glsten on your Earmienis and once more mareh to battle and to Hetory ? (Loud cheering.) The band then played “Rally Round the Flag,” and the meeting guve three cheers for Grant and Vilson. SPEECH OF SENATOR NYE. Senator Nye, of Nevada, was next introduced | and received With applause. He said that in as | much of a turmoil as now existed in the political world it was wellto take careful note of events that had passed and were passing.

General VAN BUREN, of New Jersey, next ad- dressed the meeting at considerable length, and was followed by James Lyneh, the colored Secre- tary of State of Mississippi, and others. The u.ceting dispersed at about eleven o'clock, MISCELLANEOUS CAMPAIGN NOTES. oy SPER “From Grave to Gay, Severe.” Says the Boston Globe (anti-Greeley) in one of its handsomely printed columns :— The Greeley managers are shrewd enough to know that the capital and business interests of the country will look with little favor upon their efforts to get ‘possession of the government by means like those developed in the corrupt bargain of the New York ring and in the Cincinnati trickery. Hence they deein it good policy to denounce the capitalists in advance, as forming a combination to support Grant, and have accord! nay made such a charge in the Greeley organ, the New York Tribune, e charge itself 1s entirely unsupported by proat, and probably has no foundation whatever. It bears the stamp of a reckless invention, the suggestion of spite and envy. We suppose we may call this the “first lie nailed.” The Lonisville Courier-Journal (pro-Greeley) re- ports Andy Johnson as saying that “the people are for Greeley and Brown, and when they move they are irresistible.’” ‘The Louisville Courier-Journal avers that Grecley’s endorsement at Baltimore Is certain, and will prob- ably, with the exception of the Delaware delegates, be unanimous. The Courier-Journal thinks that the “Bine Hen’s Chicken” (the famillar sobriquet of little Del.) will getits comb cut and its feathers ruffed at Baltimore, It is proposed that little Delaware shall hold a separate convention. Why not?’ Are not the eyes of the world upon ber? The Detroit Free Press (democratic) states that the Greeley meeting in that city on the 17th tnstant was “notof that character which was calenlated to impress them with very sanguine expectations for the future. There was no rush of the masses of either party, The arguments or facts of the speak- ers neither convinced nor even raised a doubt as to the policy of nominating him at Baltimore, nor sat- isfled ns that there was any reasonable possibility of it.” How the opinions of these Western and Southwestern editors differ! Yet their differences are discussed good-humoredly. The Dayton (Ohio) Herald regards as a step from the “sublime to the ridiculous’ the remark of Ger- ritt Smith that, ‘Just as Lincoln, the second savior of his country, was re-clected, so will Grant, the third savior of his country, be re-elected. The Vineland Independent (Grant) thinks that if Mr. Gree‘ey has been chopping down trees in the woods of Chappaqna every day for the last twenty years it is about time his little farm was cleared. Still there maybe a good chance for the worthy philosopher to “stump” it, which, no doubt, he and many of his friends intend to do, The Milwaukee Wisconsin (Grant) is much re- joiced at the prospect of a split in the opposition to Grant, and says the republicans are in an excel- lent position to enjoy this prospective fight. The Wisconsin should not be too sanguine. The Cin- cinnatl party is not inclined as yet to tear their Schurz to pleces. The Boston Advertiser (Grant) declares that the “{nevitable consequence of the nomination of Mr. Greeley at Baltimore will, be the division of the democratic party.” The wish is probably father to the thought, Referring to the action of the Democratic State Convention in Maine, the Boston Post (good demo- cratic authority) asserts that: ‘The hardy men of the Pine Tree Stato are sum- moned to the front in this decisive contest for re- publican freedom and pure government. ‘lhe nemi- nations st Cincinnati are already ringing up and down the State, and they are the ones that promise the accomplishment which isthe earnest desire of all patriots. The Baltimore American (Grant) says of the re- cent Democratic Maryland State Convention that “the resolution endorsing Greeley and Brown was handsomely disposed of. It could have been car- ried by an overwhelming majority, but under the rule it went to the special committee, and before the Chairman had time to read it over the Conven- tion adjourned. There are a few refractory demo- crats who might have given trouble if the Conven- tion had made @ positive deciaration upon the Presidential question.” The Baltimore Gazette (democratic) thus refers to the same Convention :— ‘The most remarkable incident connected with the roceedings was that while the delegates were be- lieved to be almost unanimously for the Greeley and Brown ticket, one resolution openly endorsing that ticket was promptly laid upon the table, while an- other of a similar tenor was referred to the Com- Mittee on Resolutions, pending the action of which the Convention adjourned. This was only following the action of the Roches- ter Convention. It seems as if but one hand were puiling this no-nomination-by-State-Conventions wire, A Western Grant paper says, “Frailty, thy name is—Greeley.”” Better have named a woman’s 1ights candidate, and then the quotation and application might have been more perfect. It is written of Colfax :— Tle smiled a sort of sickly smile, and curled upon the floor, And the subsequent proceedings interested him no more: Why not let the dead reat ? The Boston Traveiler (Grant) speaks thus of the Chappaqua woodchopper and his chances: As President of the United States, chosen by democratic voters, he would have to take the lead in that reactionary work upon which the demo- crats are bent, and which can be performed only as a consequence of a republican defeat. Fortunately there is no chance that Mr. Greeley ever will be- come a democratic President, as the people will re- elect President Grant, and re-elect him, too, by a vote that will be as decisive against democracy and reaction as {t must be fatal to Mr. Greeicy’s hopes, ‘The latest “ism” is “Free White Hatism.” It beats Fourrierism, Brisbaneism and many other old isms “all hollow’ as an electioneering dodge, Miss Laura Reim has written a very interesting and touching letter from Washington to the St. Louis Democrat based upon episodes In the life of Henry Wilson. The Pittsburg Mail (Grant) exclaims :— Hiester Clymer, of Berks, has keen appointed chairman of the Democratic State Central Com- mittee in place of Mr, Wallace, who has been placed on the retived list. Clymer is to stamp the State from Lively to and so is Buckalew, This means the transfer of the | d nocracy to Greeley. ‘The following are a few of the things the Chicago | Post (Grant) wants to know:— Why doesn’t Carl Schurz make that speech for Greeley ¥ Why doesn't Trumbull reeley ? Why doesn’t Sumner take one side or the other ? Why doesn’t Fenton “arraign Grant’ or some- body ? TRE GERMAN LIBERAL REPUBLICANS, The German Liberal Republican Central Commit tee, Mr. August Theissen presiding, met at Germa- nia Hail, 200 ‘Third avenue, last eveming. The chairman announced that the object of the meeting wes to organize for the Presidential campaign. New German Greeley and Brown organizations, it was reported, had been formed in the Twentieth Asser- Vly district, Nineteenth ward; Sixteenth Assembly district, Eightee ward, and in the Eleventh ward. “Action was taken, after some discussion, to complete the organization of the different Assem- make that speech for bly district clubs, and to organize certain districts hot yet organized. Under th cireamstances the definite organization of the Central Campaign Club Was postponed lo the next meeting. NEWARK POLITIOS, Uc primaries to elect delegates to State Democratic Convention to be The demo the New Jersey held at Trenton, on the 26th instant, were held in Newark on Thursday night. ‘The ‘sentiment of the delegation is about equally — divided between a straight ticket and the endorsement of Greeley and Brown.

At nine o'clock jast night Thomas Hall, aged twenty-nine, of 80 Oliver street, and Lawrence Let tinger, residing in the same place, became engaged jnafight, during which a woman named Kate Smith, Lettinger’s paramour, seized an axe and struck Hail two blows on the head, cutting his skuil open and inficting dangerous wounds, ‘The assail- ant and Lettinger Were arrested by an officer of the Fourth provipet, aud Hall sent Ww Park Hospital. VIRGINIA. The Old Dominion’s Thousand Democrats to Visit Baltimore. Old Times Tactics—Physical Force Rather Than Persuasive Eloquence To Be Represented in the National Convention—The Old White Hat Forever—Hon. Charles Porter on the Tricks. of the State Politicians. RIOHMOND, Va., June 18, 1872. The Presidential campaign in the Old Dominion has so far been a mere one-sided affair. While the republicans are having a Kilkenny cat ight over a few Congressional nominations among themselves the conservatives are running wild over Greeley and Brown, and are paying but little attention to their State politics. It would be unfair not to ad- mit that there is a great deal of enthusiasm in this chivalric furore, though how to account for it is beyond the political wisdom of your correspondent. The demonstrations are not as dishonest and ephe- meral, and the enthusiasm is not the mockery which some correspondents would lead the people at the North to believe, There isa genuine fecling in favor of the Cincinnati nominees throughout the State, us evinced by the resolutions adopted at meet- ings held in the townships and counties and in tie addresses delivered at Greeley meetings in this city, Several of the latter have been large, enthaslastic and decidedly intelligent, One of therm which I attended was held in a capacious hall, which was crowded to its utmost capacity, and in the vast assemblage, including the galleries, there ‘was not & negro or boy to beseen. It was com- posed entirely of leading citizens, young men, and was, perhaps, the best representative body of white citizens I have seen here since the close of the war, Among the speakers were several gen- tlemen not unknown to fame beyond the limits of Virginia, and nearly all the white political lead- ers of the city were present on the speakers’ stand. All the addresses favored the nomination of the Uberal ticket by the Baltimore Convention, and strongly opposed any other action by that body, and to say that these sentiments and views were not applauded would simply be misrepresentation, which is not the province of a HERALD correspond- ent. The best evidence of the intention of the peo- ple here to support Greeley is that they are now raising funds with which to charter steamships to CARRY ONE THOUSAND MEN TO BALTIMORE from this city, for the purpose of making a genuine demonstration there on the occasion of the Demo- cratic Convention in favor of the white-coated philosopher. This scheme originated in the fertile imagination of a young democrat, ofthis city, whose enthusiasm forced him to wear a white hat since the nominations were made at Cincinnati. It has not yet been determined whether two steamships of the Old Dominion Line, plying between this city and New York, will be engagea to take this large crowd to Baltimore or whether a number of special trains will be brought into requisition. Most of the proposed visitors prefer the steamships, on the score of economy, as on these they could have their own food, sleeping accommodations and free whis- key. It is expected that in addition to this crowd large numbers will also go from Petersburg, Norfolk and other cities, Among the ears politicians it now seems to be irrevocably settled that the é CONVENTION TO MEET HERE the 27th of the present month will send an enthusi- astic Greeley delegation to Baltimore. People here gay, As Virginia goes so goes the South; but of this I am not now assured, One thing, however, is cer- tain, and that is, this delegation will be composed of some of the shrewdest and sharpest political wire puiters this side of New York city—men such as those who so successfully engineered the Walker movement in 1869, and who became notorious and famous everywhere as the “Committee of Nine,” the prime movers and real authors of the liberal movement, the last result of which was the nomi- nation of the Cincinnati ticket. That this delega- tion will exercise a great influence at Baltimore is unquestioned, and that this infiuence will be cast as indicated above is another fact; and all thus, taken in connection with the moral aid of the im- mense crowd going. from here to Baltimore, looks very much as they meant work, John 8. Mosby, of guerrilla notoriety, and whose admirers formerly, counted by thousands, have now dwindled down to a few because he wrote the letter favoring the support of Grant in preference to Greeley on sound democratic principles, has found some consolation in the sympathy and moral aid of a few of the old Bourbons of the State, They un- flinchingly stand by the constitution, but Mosby, more progressive and liberal, is willing to sac- rifi some of his political aMltations to what he deems to be honestly the real good of the State and people. A few days agol met a _ eolgerreng who imparted to me some valuable In- formation, and who, as he said spoke “by thes | book,” and the subject was MOSBY AND AMNESTY, Tt was some time after Mosby had written his let- ter, which was telegraphed to the HERALD at the time, advocating a support of Grant on the ground that the administration had the ability to bestow what Greeley merely promised but could not pos- aibly give—amnesty. “How do you like Mosby's letter?” I remarked to this Virginian, “T like it,” said he, “and if the people knew as bout it as [do they would like ft too.”’ do you know about ity” | asked, il, I know it was that very letter that pro- cured the passage of the late amnesty act."” “How do you know?” “That I'm not at liberty to say just now; but shortly after the letter which was published he addressed another to Grant himself, telling him ‘this is the time to Yar the amnesty act.’" “Epon that you think it was passed? “Yes, npon that I know it was passed.” “Can you give me your authority for this state- ment?” “No, I can't now; but I'm willing to swear to it.” For the truth of this statement |caunot vouch, but the source it came from and the manner in which it was told me gives it more than a mere touch ot veracity. I think iftrue, and were this amnesty de- velopment generally known, it would cause quite a change of opinion among the conservatives here, IN THE LAST APPORTIONMENT the conservative Legislature gave two districts, the Second and Third, to the republicans, ‘The Second has been, and in ali probability will be, represented by James H. Vlatt; and W. H. H. Stowell repre- sented the Fourth as it used to be. But in the new apportionment the Third district (Porter's) was par- tially gerrymandered into Stowell’s, and in conse- quence of this Porter has gone to contest the Fourth district with Stowell and another republican candi- date named Jenkins, teeny now is that the democratic candidate in the Fourth district will be elected, thus leaving Platt the only republican in the next Virginia delegation in Congress, CONGRESSMAN PORTER INTERVIEWED, Mr. Porter, who will be remembered the victim of Pat Woods’ pummelitng, was interviewed on this warfare on Stowell to the foliowing effect :— CORRESPONDENT—Mr. Porter, do you think you are dealing altogether fairly with your colleague, Mr. Stowell, to try to oust lim froin his own dis . PorteR—-Why not, I shonid like to know ? What exclusive right has Mr. Stowell to the new Fourth district ¥[t comprises no more of his origi- nal territory than of my own and Piatt’s, CORRESPONDENT—Can you tell. me where Mr. Stowell resides? Lhave sought for two years to find this out, and nobody seems to know, js, in Halifax county. CORRESPONDENT—Where do you reside Mr. Por- ter? Mr. Porter—Well, as 1 said in my remarks just now, Lam a resident of this district. CORRESPONDENT—t am told that yon said some pretty severe things about the revenue ge at your meeting in Farmville the other night, aré they doing? Ma. Porren—They are doing all the mischief they can; depend upon that. ‘These oficiais who are paid by government $1,500 per annum for their ser- vice do nothing but attend meetings in behait of | go about the country plotting and | Stowell, and | working for him, while they ought to be attending to their duties, T—I wonder if the majority have Xcept a8 wire-workers, How niany of these oillciais are there In this district ¥ Mr. Porten—T nine assessors, telling the people just now, whose gate $14,000, and besides these are the sor, ehtel collector and various others. government is avout to send down kere another batch of them to work for Mr. Stowell.

Mr. PoRTER—Just about, asked just now, when you were speaking of these abuses, why you did nol move Congress to inquire into them ¢ PorTrr—I replied that the session was about to close, in the first place, and besic I had to come down here to look after my own interests, but at the next session, whether elected to Con- ress or not, I pledge myselfto do alll can to re- forin these abuses, COKRESPONDENT—Do you think that was a fair and legal © ion at Burkeville last week ? Mr. Port! at Convention was called, while [ was in iny seat, with the deliberate purpose of backing it in iy absence, or, if 1 should come down Mr. PorTeR—He resides in the Fifth district, that | | | | to protest, thetrnotion was to accuse me of neglect of duty. ese are the littie games My. Stowell’s people play. CORRESPONDENT—Is it proper that T should ask whether you will abide by the action of the Con- bara which has been called to meet at Farm- le? Mr. PorTER—I don’t care to answer that. 1 don't know what may happen between now and then, This interview would seem to indicate that Mr. Porter would prefer the election of the democratic candidate to any other republican than himself. MYSTIC PARK. Last Day of the Spring Meeting—Splendid Trot- ting and a Good Attendance—The $1,500 Purse Won by Phi) Sheridan—Carpen- Boston, June 21, 1872. The fourth and last regular day of the spring meeting at the Mystic Park was carried to a suc- cessful conclusion this afternoon. Mr. Wright, the- proprietor, reserved @ considerable sum to be of- fered in purses for the second week of the Jubilee season; but the arrangements have not yet been made. The weather to-day was very warm, the at- tendance excellent and both the races on the card closely contested, CONTEST FOR THE $1,500 PURSB. ‘The first race on the card was for a purse of $1,600, for horses that have never trotted better than 2:35, and the field comprised whe following entries :— Carpenter's bay stallion Geo. A. Hall, Carroll’s vay gelding Czar, Bowen’s black gelding Camors, Bacon’s gray gelding St, Elmo, Sargent’s brown stal- lion Phil Sheridan, Hicks’ brown mare Lady Ellis, Cundey’s bay gelding Alliston, Hayes’ black geld- ing Black Prince, Dobie’s brown mare Greenwich Maid, Willis’ white mare Fannie, Dorr’s black mare Helen, Goldsmith’s bay stallion Abdalian. In the pools Sheridan was a favorite against the feild, $100 to $75. First*Heat.—All the horses came to the stand ex- cept Abdallah and Camors, and Ellis was awarded the pole, although tn so large a@ fleld that was not worth anything. The horses straggled up constder- ably and scattered, Czar, St. Elmo, Hall, Alliston and Helen being in the firstlot, while Sheridan and the others were alength or soin the rear. Ozar started off with a slight lead, and Elmo took it from him before the turn was made, and, having got the ad- vance, he put forth so much speed that it became evident that he meant business, forthe heat at any rate, Sheridan, the favorite, being among the second lot, was some way in the rear when Elmo went to the front, but he passed one after another until he reached the fourth place, Hall and Czar forcing St. Elmo on the homestretch, the latter winning by a neck, in 2:20. Second Heat.—Gentlemen from New York still ex- pressed their faith in Sheridan at the pool boxes, and as he had a good send-off their confidence in- creased. Elmo, Czar, Hail ayd Sheridan had a lively struggle for the lead, which was first taken by Czar, and in an instant surrendered to St. Elmo, The latter led to the € gece, but here Sheridan, who had taken secon lace, began to force the pace, Hall, Helen and Allston were a couple of lengths in the rear, all going well, but in company that was too fausi. Around the upper turn Sheridan went lapped with St. Elmo, and just inside the head of the stretch forced the gray to a break, but the latter soon rallied and did not give it up until Sheridan beat him a neck, in 23284, Third Heat.—Sheridan took a lead after St. Elmo broke, bnt before he reached the lower turn Black Prince made an effort for the second place; but after foing, in that position halfway up to the half-mile pole, he gave up, being forced off. his feet by Hall, who took the place vacated by him. Czar,Helen and St. Elmo were up in the first section, with Elis, Fannie and Prince in the rear. The favorite kept on about his business, and although he was pressed somewht on the stretch by Hall, St. Elmo and Czar, Sheridan won by half a Jength, Time, 2:: rat Fourth Heat.—Lady Ellis was withdrawn, and of the others St. Elmo went off with a slight lead, Czar second, Fannie next, then Sheridan, Helen, Allston and the others strung along. At the turn Fanny dashed into the second place; but the pace was too fast for her, and she broke and fell off, Sheridan going next to St. Elmo, Around the upper turn ‘the latter was forced to break, and his driver pulled him so wide that he forced Sheridan to the outside of the track. The latter took @ lead, however, and won by halfa length, in 2:3034, Hall second, Helen third. The following is a ‘SUMMARY. Mysto PARK, June 21, 1872.—Purse of $1,500, for horses that have never beaten 2:35—$1,000 to first, $300 to second and $200 to third; mile heats, best three in five. ‘ W. S. Sargeant entered bik. s.

The second race was the principal one of the afternoon, and was for horses that never beat 2:26, for $2,500 in greenbacks, of which the first horse ‘was to receive $1,500, the second $750 and the third $250. The entries were Carpenter’s sorrel mare Susie, Bowen’s gray mare Sea Foam, gray gelding Royal John, Cudney’s bay gelding Whalebone, Nor- cross’ chestnut gelding License and Goldsmith’s bay mare Huntress. Of these Whalebone, Royal John and License did not start, and it was looked upon as so sure a victory for Huntress that there was but little betting before the start, Huntress being a favorite $100 to $80 against the others. Furst Heat,—Susic had the pole, Huntress second and Sea Foam outside; the horses scored half a dozen times before they were sent off, the judges being anxious to give neither an advantage. Susie wentto the front a8 they made the Journey down to the turn, Huntress second 2nd Sea Foam next. Well upon the back side Huntress indulged in two or three of her peculiar jumps, and soon after she got on even terms with Susie and went lapped to the half in 1:104s, Around the upper turn Sea Foam closed with both the others, and, after an exciting finish, Susie won the heat by half a length, Sea Foain a length ahead of Huntress, Time, 2:25, Secon’ Hent.—Huntress continued a favorite in the pools. The mares were sent off the firat time they came for the word, and Susie showed in front for an instant, but before the turn was = reached Huntress took the pole and opened a length to the quarter; Sea Feam took the second piace, and the favorite indulged in several breaks. On the journey up the straight side Sea Foam forced the pace around the upper turn, and all the way down the homestretch, Huntress again doing considerable jumping. She cre score an open length ahead, but the heat was given to Sea Foam, tn 2:26, Phird Heat.—Huntress was still a favorite in the pools, and on the word being given she went to the Front, followed closely by Susie and Sea F At the quarter Huntress had two lengttss the best of it, Susie in the second piace. On the back side Sea Foam made one of her bad breaks, and when she was pulled to her work was more than @ distance out, Around the upper turn Huntress continued to lead, making an occasional jump, and at the wire she beat Susie by two lengths, Sea Foam third, inside the distance, having Wotted the last quarter quite fast. K Heat,—Hontress put herself in the first place as soon as the word was given, Josie next to her and Sea Foam in the rear. A length separated Huntress from Josie at the quarter, but at the half-mile pole they were lapped together, Hun- tress still Keeping a slight lead, by the aid of her jumps. Around the upper turn Susie outfooted Truntress, taking 1, and Sea Poam closed on both the others; at the head of the stretch they were all together, but Susie won the heat. Hun- tress was Set back, and the place given to Sea Foam. 1 6 Pith Hea is was nota very closely contested heat. Apparently all Susie and Huntress wished to do was to keep Sea Foam in the rear, at least so it looked to outsiders, and apparently so to the judges, for after Susie had beat Huntress out a length, and with S an well np, they consulted to- gether som. » before they gave the heat to Susie, with Huntress second, The following is 4 SUMMARY, PURsk OF $2,500, for horses that nev mile heats, rst horse, $7 or beat 2:20; + $1,600 to to second and $26 ner entered s,m, Sushi 1 3 A.

NO ONE KILLED. List of the Wounded---Miraculous Escapes, CoLumBus, Ohio, June 21, 1872, At half-past aix o’clock this morning our citizens Were startled by a concussion which some at- tributed to an earthquake, but enquiry proved it to be the explosion of a boiler in the shops at the Ohio Penitentiary, located about half a mile from the State House, and almost within the business portion of the city. THE PRISON GROUNDS comprise about twenty-five acres, of which the northern half is enclosed by the administration building, chapel, hospital ana shops for manufac- turing purposes. Beyond these, from the main en- trance and within the prison walls, are several large buildings in which convict labor 18 employed, hired from the tate hy contractors, Two of these buildings, each about one hundred feet by forty, and two stories high, running parallel to each other, per- haps twenty feet apart, were occupied by the Ohio Brush Company, Huffs & Manipenny’s cooperage, Miller & Hess’ plough manufactory and G, W. Gill's stove foundry. The brush factory occupied about three-fourths of the west building, THE ENGINE, which furnished power to all four establishments, in. located about the centre, and over it the combing room, where were assembled about thirty men, all convicts, ready for their daily task. E. B. Slaughter, a guard, occupying a raised seat in one corner; T. O, Platt, guard in the adjoining room, and O. B, McAdams, guard in the room below, were the only persons about the premises, except the convicts, of whom there Were in all nearly one hun- dred in the room described and immediate vicinity. THE EXPLOSION, The prisoners had been engaged in the customary interval of worship by which each day's labor is preceded, when, without warning, the guard Slaughter found he had been blown, with stun- ning force, a distance ten feet from his seat, and partially recovering was struck by # descending missile, and, though not seriously disabled, was momentarily stunned. The guard Platt, in an ad- joining reom, warned by some appearance of steam from the boiler, escaped by a window, withont serious injury. McAdams appears to have been out of reach of danger. The shock was terrific, and yet no person was killed outright. Several men were blown out the windows, and fell with the débris from the fourth story of the building. THE WRECK OF THE MIDDLE SECTION of the brush factory for some forty feet in length was. complete in an instant. The boller itself was torn into a shapeless mass, and many of the riven plates Scattered wide over the prison rounds, The scene of the explosion is desolate enough. Great piles of brick, stone, timber and machinery are scattered here and there, wiile the manufac- tured articles and raw material are strewn over tho ground for a long distance. A number of the mep who were huddled in. the end of the combing room, directly over the en- gine, after being lifted with the broken floor, went down deep into the mass of débris, broken timber, bricks and mortar, some being completely. buried and others wedged’ fast in piles of rubbish, yet all were extricated alive. Some were fearfully bruised, but owing to lack of water In the boiler when it exploded there were few scalds, A large mass of blocks and other material stored in the garret loft went down, in- creasing the pile of rubbish. The rapid rescue of the men from the ruins Was in great accomplished by convicts summoned by the guard from a neighboring shop, where ‘they were employed. ‘The terrible atlair appears to have caused no panic, and there were few 8 OF cries of any sort. Some of the most serious! injured were in the adjoining shop of Gill Moneypenny. One man was struck down just, as he was ——- out of Gill's factory door; another was strucl pa falling missile in a distant art of the nitentiary enclosure and badly hurt. Twenty-eight persons were conveyed to the prison — tal with wounds requiring dressing, and a dozen others were injured, but not disabled. The flying pleces of boiler plate did serious dam: the machinery in Gill’s and Miller & Hess’ establish- ments. No one was killed outright, but the prisoners Myers and Johnson are terribly in- Jured, and will probably die. The explosion is attributable to the use of an old boiler, which had once before exploded in construction and in care- lessness in feeding with water, The loss ding. to pee falls mainly upon the State, which owns the bi ‘The brush company claim a loss of $6,000. All four companies suffer serious loss from interruption to business, A A PIECE OF THE EXPLODED Pore, weighing 300 pounds, was thrown over the shops south and landed in @ yard in the rear of the prison 300 feet distant. The iron door plate to fur- nace under the hoiler was also thrown about the same distance. The balls on the valves were sent hurling in the same direction, and fell near the walk leading from the prison te the shops. Pieces of timber and scraps of iron were scattered promiscuonsly over the yard and among shops. Mr. Dean, the acting warden, was in the back yard at the time of the explosion, looking up Saco bricks, and iron pry through the air. He succeeded in getting behind a tree in time to save himself from the missiles. An old man named Ragle, at work in the loft of the factory, fell to the ground with the ruims and was buried beneath them. His injuries were not such aa to induce him to go to hospital. Mr. Smyder had just reached his =m: ne and had suMctent presence of mind to spring ander its frame, and went down with the fragments, coming out only slightly injured. John Kyan, of Piqua, at work ip the combing room, was BLOWN OUT OF THE WINDOW in the second story and was covered up tn ruins, where he remained some fifteen minutes before he was dug out, somewhat it and bruised. Elijah Barlow, in the lower story, was ight above the hips between two timbers as they fell and sustained severe bodily injury. Timothy Newcomb, who was in the second story of that portion of the building which did not fail, became very excited and attempted to Jump ont of the window. He was momentarily prevented by others, but finally made the re, alighting on his head, and sustained severe inju- Ties, The conduct of the prisoners through the trying avair and all day has been quiet and praiseworthy. In the hospital the wounded are as well cared for as they could be anywhere, and scarce @ moan ie heard, The following is a complete list of THE PERSONS NOW IN THE HOSPITAL who were injured by the explosion, and it ts thought that all but half a dozen will recover :— Harry Johnson, of Hamilton county, fracture of the left arm, wound on the head and Yee; Timothy Newcomb, of Hardin county, badly Injured; Samuel Cook, of Hamilton county, contused wounds in the legs and chest; Thomas S, Canton, of Clarke county, contused wounds on the ‘arms and kK; Elijah Burton, of Guernsey county, perated scalp wound and fractured shoul- blade; Charles Hl.
