The following special despatch to tho Werarp has been received from our corros- pondent in Southampton, England, by way of London :— t Sovrnamproy, July 31, 1872. The waters of the river Solent reflected to the pleased eyes of thousands of spectators to-day the brilliancy of a magnificent scene which was presented off this port in the shape of a grand nautical festival, in which the naval flag of the United States was entwined ina most pleasing and friendly intercomuiu- nion with the royal standard of Great Britain. BOYAL ENGLISH VISIT TO THE UNITED STATES FLEET. The ships of the United States flcet commis- sioned for service in Europe, and lately from the Mediterranean, under command of Ad- miral James Alden, U. 8. N., consisting of the steam frigate Wabash, forty-five puns; the screw steam frigate Congress, six- teen guns; the steamship Brooklyn, twenty guns; the screw steam frigate Shenandoah, eleven guns; the steam frigate Plymouth, twelve guns, and the screw steamer Massachu- setts, six guns, were visited during the after- noon by His Royal Highness Albert Edward, Prince of Wales, accompanied by his wife, Her Royal Highoess the Princess Alexandra. The illustrious party included very many personages of distinction, who were present by invitation, the whole being attended bya royal suito made up of officers and servants of the Crown. AMERICAN RECEPTION OF THE ROYAL GUESTS. » The first arrangements which were made for the management of the féle contemplated that the reception of the royal party by the Ameri- can commander and his officers should take place on board the frigate Wabash, and it was go intended until a very late moment. Some few ays since, however, a case of smallpox made ita appearance among the crew of the Wabash, pnd, in consequence of the occurrence of this unexpected visitation, Admiral Alden trans- ferred his flag from that vessel to the steam- Ship Brooklyn. ‘ Tho English royal party was, therefore, re- ~ weg en ved by him on the last-named vessel. GROUPED ON THE QUARTER DECK IN GALLANT ABnAY, Admiral Alden’s “group of reception, con- sisting of many distinguished Americans, as- gembled promptly On the quarter deck of the Brooklyn, duly prepared to accord proper honor to the heir apparent to the crown of Great Britain and his consort, the daughter of His Majesty the King of Denmark, 9 good friend of the American republic. SIGHTING THE PRINCE'S YACHT. Promptly ot the hour of half-past four @clook in the afternoon the British royal steam yacht was sighted, advancing slowly outward towards the United States vessels, THE YARDS MANNED. The order ‘Man the yards’ was immediately signalled from Admiral Alden’s flagship. It was instantly repeated on each one of the other vessels, and instantly, and “with a will,” obeyed by the American tars of the entire fleet. A GENERAL SALUTE. Aroyalsalute was fired by the Americans from evory one of tho ships—a united salvo—for the Prince and Princess of Wales, re-echoing the sound of the discharge of many hundreds of guns. : His Royal Highnéad the Prince of Wales was attended by His Highness and relative Prince Leopold Yietog Charles on Ngee, . captain in the British Navy, an wh has frequently commanded Queen Victoria's steam yacht Victoria and Albert, and Major Grey, equerry in attendance in the royal honsehold. Her Royal Highness the Princess Alexandra was attended by Lady Carmarthen and the Honorable Miss Knollys, of tho family of Sir William Thomas Knollys, formerly Comp- troller of the Household to the Prince of Wales. UNDER TUE STARS AND STRIPES. ‘When the royal yacht came alongside tho war steamer Brooklyn a gangway, covered with cloth, was made to connect both vessels, and over this the Prince, the Princess and members of the royal party passed on board the United States ship, under tho flag of the Stars and Stripes, surmounted by the ensign of the Croas of St. George. ‘ The English party was received at the gang- way of the Brooklyn by Captain Andrew Bry- son, of the United States Navy, and imme- diately again by Admiral Alden, the com- mandor of the fleet, on the deck. “GOD SAVE THE QUEEN."’ Tho American naval band playod “God Save the Queen’’ during the ceremonial. PERSONAL INTRODUCTIONS AND PLEASING SALU- TATIONS, Salutations and compliments having been interchanged between Admiral Alden and his guests, the officers of the Brooklyn were sever- ally introduced to the Prince of Wales, who re- ceived all and each with an expression of warm and manly cordiality, and presented the gen- tlemen in turn to the Pringoss. “ “tHe PRINon's cosrum, His Royal Highness the Prince of Wales Word a plain English morning costume, with frock cont, and appeared well in health. ALEXANDRA'S TOILETTE. Her Royal Highness the Princess Alexandra wore a white dress, embroidered with rich vio- let color, a violet sash, a white hat trimmed with violet and light blue and ornamented by violet-colored feathers. “TRUE, SHE IS FAIR ; OH, HOW DIVINELY Farr !’’ Her Royal Highness Alexandra of Wales appeared, in truth, such a Princess in grag» of bearing and personal beauty that all the” princesses recorded in the fairy tales—from the Sleeping Beauty of the Castle in the Wood to the very latest of whom we have been told— if put together in one fair lady, would not equal her. INSPECTION ON DECK. The royal perty remained g few minutes on the spar deck of the Brooklyn and then visited the gun deck. REFRESHMENT. They were then entertained at evening tea at the table of Admiral Alden. 4 DISTINGUISHED PARTY. The party assembled in the cabin room made a very brilliant group. There were present their Royal Highnesses the Prince and Princess of Wales, General Robert C. Schenck, American Ambassador at the Court of St. James; General William T. Sherman, Com- manger of the United States Army; Vice Admiral Sir George Rodney Mundy, Baronet, R. N., K. C. B., lately commanding Her Majesty’s fleet in British North America and the West Indies; His Highness the Prince of Leiningen, R. N.; Lady Carmarthen, Hon. Miss Knollys, Major Grey, the Right Rev. Charles Petitt McIlvaine, D. D., Bishop of Ohio, and the Hon. Benjamin F. Moran, Secretary of the American Embassy in Eng- land. AGAIX ON DECK, WITH THE TARS AT WORK. After the conclusion of a very agrecable and refreshing repast the party visited the gun deck of the Brooklyn again. They halted on the quarter deck, and wit- nessed the men in exercise at gun drill prac- tice. FRIENDSHIP MORE POWERFUL THAN FEAR. Then, in response to a request, delivered to him on the part of the officers and men, His Royal Highness the Prince of Wales visited the frigate Wabash, first observing, “I am not afraid of smallpox."’ A GENERAL INSPECTION. The Prince was subsequently rowed around all the other ships of the American fleet, and, having concluded his inspection and visit of compliment, returned to the royal yacht in company with the Princess Alex- andra. GRAND NATIONAL FAREWELL TO ALEXANDRA. Tho Princess’ departure from the Brooklyn was signalized by the yards being again | manned in her honor by the Americans on all | the ships of the fleet. A UNITED SALUTE OF PARTING AND 4 MOST GORGEOUS NAVAL SCENE. All the ships joined also in firing a grand salute of parting, in joint honor to the Prince and Princess. ‘This pleasing tribute of respect and friend- ship was accomplished in an exceedingly brilliant manner. The waters of Southamp- ton, from the Solent outward and along the coast, were rendered ablaze by the simultaneous discharge of the guns, and presented an appearance like that which is seen during ao great naval battle spectacle. Tho complete scene made one of unusual splendor. The broad, smooth water stretching away out to 640; tho brilliant hive sky overhead; the war NEW YORK HERALD, THURSVAY, AUGUST '1)'1872—WiTH SUPPLEMNT ships, of unequalled beauty, and swarming | ative with hundreds of American sailors standing’ the thrend-like spars, while below the vessels were blazing like voleanoes. 4 BRITISH ROYAL YACHT BANQUET. Their Royal_ Highnesses the Prince and Princess of Wales gave, during the evening to- day, a dinner on board the royal yacht, at which they entertained Admiral Aldon, United States Navy; all the captains of the United States floot, General William T. Sherman, United States Minister Schenck, the Right Rey. Bishop McIlvaine and the Hon. Benja- min F. Moran, Secretary of the United States Legation in London. LIEUTENANT GRANT ABSENT. Lieutenant Froderick D. Grant, of tho United States army, was invited to tho ban- quet, but, of course, was absent from England. GENERAL SHERMAN ON DECK. Previous to the arrival of the Prince and Princess of Wales tho American fleet was in- spected by General Sherman. TRUMBULL IN INDIANA. Liberal Republican Mass Mect- ing at Indianapolis.

Handling «Gentlemen of the Administra- tion” Without Gloves. + abe AGrant Procession and Meeting at the Wigwam. INDIANAPOLIS, July 31, 1872, The citizens of Indianapolis have been considera- bly excited to-day over the fact that two mass meetings were to be held in the evening, drawing out all available forces, The liberal republicans, enthusiastically supported by the democracy, are assembled this evening at the Academy of Music, and the Grant republicans ate congregated at the Wigwam. <A rain storm, mixed with hail, blew up about four o'clock, and threatened to mar the festivities of the Grant people, who in- cluded a torchlight procession in their demonstra- tion, but, to the delight of the populace, it was soon | over. Senator Trumbull arrived at five o'clock, and was escorted to the Bates House by James R. Craven, candtdate for Licuten- ant Governor of the State, and B. W. Hanna, The Attorney General, Colonel Alvord, M. M. Ray, Mr. Bingham and other distinguished democrats called upon Senator Trumbull at his hotel. At eight o'clock the Academy of Music was densely crowded, a large proportion of ladies boing noticeable both in the parquet and galleries, A transparency bearing the names of Greeley and Brown which was brought in was received with a storm of cheers, SENATOR TRUMBULL'S SPEECH, Mr. Frank Kennedy introduced Senator Trum- bull, who was received with a “pandemonium of cheers,’ and said :— Ithank you for this cordial reception, which I trust will echo loudly across the continent in November. I shall endeavor to give you some of my reasons which have caused me, @ life-long republican, to assume the position I now occupy. The Senator then went on to ex- plain the modus operandi of electing President and the system of electors. In conclusion he said that Washington had deprecated in his farewell ad- dress more than aught else a partisan spirit. Men in America have become almost slaves to party, and he wished to say that they must not be held in the chains of such slavery longer. party might dictate to them the banishment of lib- erty in the selection of a President. Notonly this, but many republicans did not like to vote for a democratic candidate, yet Horace Greeley had been @ republican his whole life long; and did not Conkling in his New York speech say that General Grant had always been @ democrat, and only became a republican on his election to the Presidency? And did not Grant count upon votes from rebels? Did not he appoint General Longstreet, a rebel, as Collector of ew Orleans? A rebel who fought you for a year presided over the Philadelphia Convention. THE MISSION OF HORACE GREELEY is to blot out the name of “rebel” from the books of the land. In appointments Washington de- manded ability, fitness and integrity as qualifica- | tions for office, and said beyond these he had no question to ask. Jefferson said the pressure for removal was likea torrent. Adams said he would appoint men only for capacity, integrity and devotion to the constitution. How different it is now when men are appointed, not | for fitness, hut because of their services in party caucuses and conventions! The speaker introduced a bill to prevent any Senator or Congressman from recommending men for ap- intment, under penalty of removal from office. TCheers.) But, said he, that bill did not pass, friends. There were too many Con- men and Senators who owed their positions men onl, must pay off in this manner. nator Trumbull then read from the report of the committee of which George W. Curtiss was chair- man, reading ‘Personal qualifications and integri are not necessary to appointment to oflice,” &c. At the conclusion of the reading, and when the speaker was entering upon a discussion of GRANT'S SYSTEM OF PUBLIC PATRONAGE, the torchlight Nae to of the opposition passed by outside with a band of music playing, and boys’ re drowned his voice. As soon as he could be eard Senator Trumbull said he supposed it was a late accession arriving to join their ranks. They had been coming in ever since the Cincinnati Con- vention. He now proposed to speak of the recon- struction action pursued In the Southern States; | but as he could not speak of all of them he would | speak of one. (Cries of “Georgia, Georgia!)

You all know of the dissensions which arose in that St abetted by the interference of the agent of ministration in the city of New Orleans. A Collector of the ‘Port, in order to prevent a quorum from assembling in the Legislature, put part of its members on board a United States vessel and took them out of the jurisdiction of the State. Thia officer of the United States government used the power vested in him by that government to break up the Legislature and government of Louisi- ana. Not only that, but @ committee sent on to investigate his action (and let me say, a party in power which gers sucha committee chooses one that will not dai the character of the members of that party whose action jnestioned) : co Bet) reported that TMS SAME COLLECTOR reported these facts I have stated, of the port of New Orleans had aggisted to raige didate.

We stand upon tho Riatiem of honesty and equal rights, which was not ‘hought to be the fundamental basis of the republi- can party. Yet upon this platform, with Horace Greeley as our candidate, we are “read” ont of that party by what have been called the Long Branch republicans. We want peace in the land; we want the people of the South to love the Union a3 we love it, and we do not want to gain this by kicking these people forever. You want peace and pros- perity in our own country; THEN VOTE VOR HORAOR GREELRY. You want reform in the civil service; then vote for Greeley.

Wo enter upon the contest, with others, as broad principles or ating to secure and maintain, and may God defend the right. Senator Trumbull retired amid loud and pro- a cheers, ie chairman then introduced the liberal repub- lican candidate for Lieutenant Governor, J. R. Craven, who dashed off in an enthusiastic address, which was frequently interrupted by applause. Mr. Craven was followed by David Good- ing, @ democrat, at one time Military Governor of the District of Columbia, and at present candidate for Congress in the Fourth district of this State. Mr. Craven briefly announced that he accepted the situation, and would support to the best of his ability Greeley and Brown. is declaration was received wit! cheers, He concluded by saying that he had swal- lowed four millions of negroes, and he could swal- low Greeley now.

RALEIGH, N. C,, July 31, 1872, The excitement which has characterized tho campaign for the last three weeks ts now at fever heat. There ts some reason, it is alleged, to appre- hend disturbances at the polls in many localities to- morrow, but after careful inquiry among all parties I am inclined to believe the fear is not well founded. There is no doubt whatever that the pas- sions and prejudices of the negroes have been greatly excited and inflamed by incendiary speak- ers, white and black, so much so that the attempts of conservative challengers to prevent fraudulent voting of negro minors are met with open defiance, often accampanied by threats. This, how- ever, is the greatest extreme to which the electton excitement will be carried, If there is any disturbance the responsibility must fall upon the administration oficials in the State, who bolily proclaim that they cannot afford to lose the State, and that the election must be carried at all hazards. Itisdue to the conservatives to state that, while they are firm and determined to cast their votes, every precaution has been taken by them to prevent fraud and to ccure p peaceable and orderly election. ‘Thé indica- tions this afternoon are that a very large vote will be polled, by far the largest that has been polled at any time since the war. [t is confidently predicted by conservative politicians who profess to be thor- oughly informed that ten or fifteen thousand white men in the western countics who have not voted since the “surrender” are now registered and will vote the conservative ticket to-morrow. CONSERVATIVE HOPE OF SUCCESS. Basing these estimates on former votes and adding this increase, and if the already accom- plished frauds are not more gigantic than can be reasonably supposed, they predict with apparent confidence that the conservative State ticket will be elected by a decided majority. If these state- ments and expectations prove unfounded the contest will be very close, In any contingency, if not the State ticket, it is reasonably certain that the conservatives will carry the Legislature and a majority of the Congressional delegation. In the absence of Samuel T. Phillips, Chairman of the Republican State Central Committee, and of Senator John Pool, who has 5oee home to Pasquotank county to vote, Collector Ike Young is superintending the canvass and managing the affairs of that party. He does not speak as confidently as did Senator Pool a week ago, and I could not help thinking that there was an evident effort to convince himself as well as me ot what he said. He said the figures which the committee counted upon for the State ticket were from eight to ten thousand majority. They claimed the First, Second, Fourth and perhaps the Fitth Con- ressional districts and the Legislature by a ma- Sority of fourteen. THE DIVIL A PIGHT AT ALL EXPECTED. Mr. Young emphatically disclaimed any appre- hension of a disturbance to-morrow, unless, ho said, it was provoked by the democrats, and ae- nounced the i. from Goldsboro, disclosing a plot to seize the polls by deputy marshals, a3 sensational and utterly false, gotten up only to prejudice the minds of the whites against the ne- Toes, There are probably being held in the State to-day not less than fifty mass meetings, all of which aro largely attended. On all sides are heard the busy notes and bustle of active preparations for the great and decisive struggle to-morrow. Men of both parties look anxious and unsettled, and the republican oftice-holders seem excessively nervous. Judge Merrimon, the conservative nomi- nee for the Governorship, returns here to-night, having concluded the labors of the Leap te bya speech at Company Shops on the North Carolina Railroad to-day. SANGUINE OF VICTORY. The radical leaders express equal confidence in | the success of Governor Caldwell, but there is little betting taking place. It is conceded by the Grant | leaders here that if North Carolina goes conserva- tive tomorrow Greeley will sweep the State by | thousands in November; and it will have the effect of virtually deciding the Presidential election. All the enthusiasm seems to be with the conservatives; the sternness of desperation with the radicals, many moderate men among whom seem half inclined to give up the State, but that they are ashamed to make the admussion. I am credibly informed by members of the Conserva- tive State Committee that large importations of negro voters have been made from Virginia and ‘Tennessee, and also that huge registration frauds have been attempted; but the vigtiance of the con- servatives has detected them, and active measures have been adopted to counteract them. SAMBO WILD WITH EXCITEMENT. Up to this evening the negroes continue to be greatly excited and exasperated because boys, ranging from sixteen to twenty years old, who have registered, have been challenged and will not be allowed to vote to-morrow. They are standing in little knots about the streets, except at the Market House, where there is quite a crowd, dis- | cussing in angry tones what they deem to be a fresh Ku Klux outrage and rebel effort to deprive | them of their rights. SUMNER'S TORNADO NOT GREATLY FELT. Senator Sumner‘s letter, a synopsis of which | reached here to-day, jas no visible effect upon them. Indeed, it is common impression t time alone will change the negro in political con- victions, which have been so well drilled into him that he regards them with more religious zeal than | he does the Gospel. Even Senator Sumner, one of the apostles of negro equality, will fud his infu. ence with the race impotent to change a@ single vote; and they will probabiy assail him now, as they do Mr. Greeley, a4 9 turncoat rebel democrat, who would put them back into slavery again if he could, J The negroes are not only stubbornly and implaca- bly vealed to republican doctrines, which, with them, means opposition to the mass of the white | people of the South, but they are clannish | a ta proscriptive beyond — conception, the other day Samuel G.

A LIEBLY CAUSE FOR RIOTING, Republican politicians at republican headquartera to-day are appretensive that the democrats bind carry the State to-morrow. They say they have dis- covered, too late to counteract it, a system, or eys- tems, of the most stupendona fraud and corruption. ever attempted or perpetrated on the ballot of free America. One of these is “the sticking-plaster Dallot,” printed on siightly adhesive paper, s0 pre- pared and arranged that two or more votes for the arty may be deposited without detection. “row if they ‘bed, oatra- same In this way the republican ers say that votes may be run up indefinitely.

They further allege on the same grounda that information has been lodged at republican headquarters to the offect that the ration books of some of the large Lg re counties and recincts have been stolen by lew Yorkers and ‘heir agents and consorts, with the view to prevent @ polling of the full negro vote; and they also charge that the democrats, by @ preconcer- ted arrangement, are throughout he State challenging indiscriminately “all the negro votes, with or without canse, for the put of delaying the process of voting until abe 1aps8 ot time shall exclude many thousands of the negroes from the polls.

A BLOODY QUARREL PRTWEEN SOLDISRS AND OFfI- Kets ee a A passenger on the train’ from Linoolaton has just given me the following facts. Late yesterday: afternoon a fight occurred in a barroom in Lincoin- ton between a citizen and asoldier, The soldier was worsted in the Oght and left, but soon re- turned with severat of his comrades, Then severat shots were fired, which resulted in slightly wound- ing one of the soldiers and a citizen who wasstand- ing by, but who had nothing to do with the dimiculty. While the friends of the wounded citizen were conveying him home they met several soldiers a6 the Court House. One of the soldiers immediately drew his pistol, and presented it at the head of the wounded man. His {friends implored him not to shoot, and at thetr urgent solicitation he withdrew his weapon, and the whole afiair passed off. ‘The diMiculty had but little political significance, ‘The excitement subsided, and all parties went off to the political meeting where Governor Z. B, Vance and others were then speaking. The Last Great Effort Before the Day of Election-Schurz, Walker, Tipton and Vance at Company Shops. Company Suops, N. C., July 31, 1872, The final conservative mass meeting of the cam- paign was held at this place to-day, within sight of the grove in which two years ago occurred the outrages upon the innocent people of Alamance county. The citizens pointed to visitors the very trees on which the poor fellows charged with being Ku Klux, but whose real offence was conservatism, were hanged by the thumbs. The remembrance of these outrages of a radical State government pos- ny accounts in some degree for the numbers and enthusiasm of the meeting to-day. Over two thoa- sand persons were present, and the orators of the day were Judge Merrimon, Senator Cari Schurz, of Missourl; Senator Tipton, of Nebraska; Governor Walker, of Virginia, and General D. M. Barringer. Judge Merrimon, the conservative candidate for Governor, spoke for about two nours and a half, making a masterly review of the political situation in North Carolina, and repelling successfully the slanders circulated about him in the radical press. He was followed by Senator Tipton, who kept the audience in a good humor and told them some sound political truths, hia gentleman has become a great favorite in North Carolina, and he has done good service: in the cause of liberal republicanism, particulariy in tie West, where the people in so many respects are like his own constituents, This was his vale- dictory. There was then a recess for dinner, after which the immense crowd reassembled and heard Senator Schurz, Governor Walker and General Bar- ringer, with great satisfaction. The mecting closed at about dark. Governor Walker and Messrs. Schurz and ier go hence to Greensboro to-night, and thence the Senators will go to Wash- ington to awalt the tidings of a@ conservative vic- tory in Norih Carolina. The Split in the Republican Ranks tm Wilmington—Conservative Schemi: Preparing for Any Emergency=All the Liquor Stores Closed. WILMINGTON, N. C., July 31, 1872. The excitement over the election in.this city ta contined to republican ranks. The conservatives, being greatly in the minority, are quiet but firm and vigilant, Jo the large republican majority ts at- tributable the trouble among the party here. The disaifection and positive split in their ranks | began in 1870 and was productive of such beneficial results to the conservatives that year that tt has. never been healed, and has broken out with re- newed force this campaign. The squabble is over county offices, particularty that of Sheriff—a very fat oftice. The interest cen- tres upon that and they care comparatively little about the State ticket, each faction being partica- larly desirous to have a candidate elected Sherit, which they are determined to accomplish by any means. The conservatives will take advantage ot this by an exchange of votes with the y having no candidate for Sheriff. The “swap” business ts in high favor, and, tt is thought, will be worth at least three hundred votes for Merrimon. In New Hanover, Waddell, the Congressional candidate, will be bene- fited yet more, and is certain to be elected. There ig no probability of @ compromise between the republican factions. No serious fears are entertained of disturbance to-morrow; should there be Oh it ts more likely ta occur between contending factions of repubitcans. But even this ts not expected to be general. ‘The liquor stores are all closed and apectal police of citizens will probably be on duty to-morrow.
