GRACIOUS GREELEY. From the Mouths of Babes and Sucklings Cometh Wisdom. CHILDREN FOR THE SAGE OF CHAPPAQUA. Reception of Mr. Greeley at Newport and Bristol. CHIEF JUSTICE CHASE VERY ILL, The Benevolent Philosopher All Surrounded— My. Moses H. Grinnell and Anything to Beat Grant—A Monster Clam Bake Tendered by Little Rhody. Briston, R. 3, August 6, 1872, At Mr. Greeley’s dinner on the Sprague farm, at Kingston, R.I., yesterday were a number of dis- tinguished guests, including Amusa Sprague and Mrs. Cornell Jewett, Chief Justice Chase is so ill that he was unable to leave his room, and the Philosopher visited him there during the evening and passed an hour in purely social conversation with him, At teno’clock this morning Mr. Grecley, accompanied by General Sprague and Mr. J. H. ‘Wardwell, sailed in the Governor's steam yacht for Newport, where he hurricd at once to the Bristol train. Even in the very few moments of his visitat the great watering place, notwithstanding the Coptradictory rumors a8 to his coming there at all, the people from the hotels and summer residences thronged about the depot and the boat landing to see and shake hands with him. “MOSES 11, GRINNELL, AMONG OTHERS, had a hasty interchange of views with him. It is well known now that ex-Collector Grinnell is heart and hand with the Greeley movement and has con- tributed towards its finances from his own private funds, but he and Mr. Greeley had not met since the nomination until to-day. The conversation was hurried and general, for the crowd was somewhat uncomfortably large, the hardy boatmen of New- port Bay and the laborers and tradesmen of Newport village, pushing and crushing against the butterfies of fashion, who from their bowers on the blufis had come in all the rustling gayety of Bilks and satins to gaze mon the hardy woodchop- per in his humble garb, The sage arrived by rail at the Bristol ferry at noon and crossed to Bristol, where he drove to Mr, Miller’s house in that gentle- man’s private carriage. ; The town of Bristol in the meantime had re- covered from its Sunday lethargy, and was prepar- Ing to do honor to its distinguished guest. There has been no toptc of conversation 60 engroasing as Horace Greeley in this quiet little village for months. “We don’t often have an occasion like this,” said an old citizen of 104 years’ residence, who still propels himself throngh the shady walks of Bristol; and, consequently, this morning there were flag- raisings on half the blocks of the town, and prepa- rations were made for the firing of salutes. One fag hoisted across the street in front of Mr. Miller's house contained the legend, “WELCOME TO OUR NEXT PRESIDENT."? + United States flags bedecked the roofs of most of the summer residences, and Greeley and Brown flags hung pendent at most of the crossings. These were demonstrations highly complimentary for a little town where the Grant feeling is very srong and where all parties say any little incident may turn the balance on either side, Mr. Greeley, after lunch, drove out with Mr. and Mrs. Miller, vis- iting Mount Hope, two miles distant hence, where King Philip, the last of the Pequots, lived and died, and where Mr. Mark A. DeWolf, recéntlya New York banker, is living amidst all the good things of New York city and THE GOOD CLAMS OF RHODE ISLAND. Returning, the Philosopher visited the National Rubber Works, where over twelve hundred opera tives are employed. He was réceived by Messrs. A. ©. Bowen, F. G. Bowen, J, F. Williams and ©. L, Baker, the officers of the company, and shown through the establishment. The numerous operatives, men and women, testified their appreciation of the honor paid them, by a deferential bearing towards the great man, during his presence, hubbub of discussion as he passed ahead. He afterwards visited the ship yard of John Herreshod, * ‘a famous yacht builder here, who superintends the work himse!f, although he is totaliy blind. and a continuous | | up quarts of pre On re- | turning to Mr. Milier’s the Philosopher felt tired | and took anap, after which, with his remarkable modesty, he addressed himself to answering the letters that have followed him even to this seciuded ot.

Mrs. Colt is an oid fricnd of Mr, Greeley’s dd mm honor of the visit had a beantiful American flag hanging over the door way. Tlie rustic Bristolites crowded about the frout yard and waited patiently tor the reap- earance of the Philosopher, At seven o'clock a tonal salute was fired at the foot of State strect, aud the national ensign, with “GREELEY AND BROWN,”? ‘Was run ont from the Bristol Hotel.’ At the same moment the Philo@pher and his party, in an open earriage, appeared at the corner of s ¢ and Tope, Aniving at a rapid gait to the hotel, followed by a crowd of men and women and even small boys and iris, cheering as they ran. At tho hotel Mr, jewton received the distinguished visitor and conducted him into the ladies’ parlor, where at once an enthusiastic crowd followed, and shook hands with him. Among this crowd were wealthy men in thelr best attire and laborers in their working cloties, and at the close a number of small children in procezsion presented tdem- selves at the door and asked the privilege of being presented to sr. Horace Greeley. The consent was a given, and the little ones filed confidently into t! their hands to him. little ones on the head and said a few words to bry ‘Then he arose and returned to his carriage He took them and patted the LOUD CHRERS FOR GREELEY, and drove to Mr. Miller's, where the reception of the evening was given him, ‘he four parlors of e presence of the smiling Sage and offered | Mr. Miller’s mausion were thronged as early as — elght o'clock by the élite of Bristol.

ART MATTERS. ‘Wanderings Among the Galleries. Under the infuenee of the sun interest in pictures grows languid in the cities, and artistand art-lover alike take thelr fight to the flelds where Naturo has created her changeable but eternal temple.

But, ad- mitting this, the sudden Might of the art flock leaves those who are interested in art, and who, like Storme’s starling, “can’t get ont,” somewhat in the Mnenviable position of the gentleman whom the poetrnoticed wandering about the deserted banquet all when the guests and the buticr bad departed, In whatever direction ono turns in the paths of art he is contronted by the matter-of-fact announcement that if one wants Mr. X.

In the meantime the few wanderers on the outskirts of art vi have not been able to eseape from the heat and turmoil of the city have only to solace themselves by visiting so much of Bohemia as may be found in the art galleries. For the most part they are not generally very potererr. ing at this time—simply faint shadows of their bet- ter selves; but just now there happens to be enough interest attached to the works on view to fully repay a visit even from those who are famiilar with their brighter hours. For the present tho gal- leries are abandoned almost wholly to the country visitors, who admire but do not patronize art. The reporta, howeyer, of the dealers point to an improvement in this Lies ea ag many pictures of the best class have found purchasers this season, among them several of Moran’s iatinitable views of New York harbor. Snedecor’s Gallery. Bierstadt's immense painting of the “Yosemite Valiey” has been on view all the summer in this gallery, where it occupies the place of honor. Its great reputation made it the chief source of attrac- tion for the country visitors, who for the most part went away impressed with ita immensity, Edward Moran is represented by a small canvas—a morning scene on the river—treated in the cool grays in which this artist delights. A lake scene by Casi- lear attracts attention by its TRANQUIL BEAUTY. ‘The effect is somewhat lessened by the presence of Q ycliowish tint permeating the gray. An autumn bit of river scenery, by Wyant, contrasts favorably with most of that artist’s work and shows more decision in the treat- ment of color than we generally find with him, At the same time he has well preserved the feciiug of sentiment and suggestivencss that lends the chief charm to his treatment of subjects. In the foreground, overhanging a cool river, a group of trees in all the luxuriance of autumn foliage ne beew introduced, but the tints, though brilliant, are subdued, and made to harmonize with THE COLDER HUES of the river and sky. In the distance rises the shadowy form of mountains bathed in dark pur- plish blue, with the distant point of light seen be- yond. There isa sense of ly aed and atmosphere combined with a sentiment of mystery in this little painting which places it far above the artist's more pretentious efforts. Beard’s “Flaw in the Title” is on exhibition at this gallery It ought long ago to have found a purchaser. Without having a claim to be considered as the highest art, it has the charm humor which will not jose any of its force with time. There is in it the merit of originality, and a drollery of treatment that has seldom been surpassed. Were the tech- nical exccution equal to the thought, the picture would be simply invaluable. A characteristic work by Tiffany represents an Eastern snake charmer exhibiting his skill to a gaping group of There is local feeling the scene, the coloring is some- what exi rated. But it is the essence of nature itself compared to the marvellous landscape by Sonntag, which is placed near it. There is, how- ever, this difference—one purports to be @ tran- reure of Eastern life, while the other is purely a vd of the imagination. It is SONNTAG LAND; for no where on earth are such rain- bow hues concentrated, even in the most favored valley. Some genii must have seized upon this artist at birth, and carried him into the lan@ of wonders; then sent him back to paint the scenes implanted on his memory in order to excite envy and longing among mortals. In such a region as We find pictured here we should expect to find rubies and emeralds on the trees. We are certain muel | that in such a spot our drink would be liquid crys- tals and pearis. There would be no dark shadows in this fairy land, but only reflections of ay oe: § emeralds and rubies. A delightful place to live, ii only we knew how to get there. But the secret is Sonntag’s, and he is less generous than the miner who wants every ope to go out to Arizona and 218 stones. Happy thought— Perhaps this miner has stumbled into Sonntag-land! FOREIGN LANDSCAPE is represented by a little work by Diaz, which pos- sesscs much of the qualities that our native work lacks, It is broad in its treatment and complete in composition, without any striving after painful minutiw, which is the chief characteristic of the American school, relying on its suggestivencss and positiveness to convey to our minds correct ideas of the thing represented, Schaus’ Gallery. ‘The attractive features of this gallery are In chief part derived trom foreign sources, French art 1s represented by a rather unfinished landscape by Lambinet. 1t has ali the strength and directness that belong to this artist’s work, with richness of coloring. The paint has been laid on boldly, with the freedom which tells of assured work; but though the whole is effecuve it will not bear too cise examination. ‘There is a de- lightful picture of @ mother and child by Meyer von Bremen, in which his mastery in the treatment | of light is fully displayed. It is not merely one of those tricky eifects in Which he too often indulges, but a really valuable study of daylight.

But independent of this the work possesses a deep interest in its SIMPLE TREATMENT of the deepest of all human passions—the love of a & motier for her ofspring. Two water-colors by Drammond, “The Oid Salt” and “The Young Salt,” deserve special attention. They possess rare trath to nature, and after a contrast which 1s all the stronger from the family likeness which is pre- served between the old sailor who has been ex- posed to the storms of live and the young, rosy aspirant for briny honors, who is unquestionably a@ chip of the old block. fail to interest us. We have seen them too often before; only these are tame, The grouping is poor and lacks the boldness which usually marks the equine sketches of this artist. Boettcher’s “Har- vest Time” is an important picture of life, but, apart from the semi-picturesque costumes of the German peasants, it lacks pictorial interest. There is a “Holy Family’ by Carl Muller, which we noticed pefore. It is marked by wonderfully minute finish and the presence of a religious senti- —_ not found in the works of any other living ar- Goupil’s Gallery. Here there are on exhibition a number ofimportant works by native and foreign artists, such as might excite Interest even dnitng the most flourishing art season.

But these, though despised in commerce, are beloved by art. They revel in all the rich luxuriance of the Pleturesque and what Ruskin in his enthu- siam calls “the poetry of dirt.’ Moran Joves those pariahs of the sea, and hopes to do for them what Stan i Hoo} and Turner did for the Jubberly old fish ng ora of England.

YACHTING. The Cruise of the Atlantic Yacht Club— The Run from Glen Cove to New Haven. ; Yacur Mystic, New Haven, August 5, 1872, All hands were astir at an early hour this morn- ing, and soon the preparations on board the yachts denoted an anxious desire to start, At six A. M. there was @ light air fromthe northwest, which appeared to increase in strength and body as the sun trav- elled up on his dally journey, Mainsail, foresail and main gaftopsall were soon set on most of the schooners, the Triton and Peerless setting large clu topsails, At 7:10 a gun was fired from the Nimbus, the Commodore's yacht, asa preparatory signal, and five minutés later a second gun boomed forth the orders to start. There was a pleasant breeze from the northwest, which was rather encouraging, as it promised a free run after rounding MATINNICOCK POINT. Anchors were soon lifted and jibs run up, the feet being all under way by 7:20 A. M. The new Schooner Triton and the schooner Sea Witch were lying well out in the stream, and consequently got good start. The little sloop Annie M. was also in & good position, and Rear Commodore Monsell made good use of the chance by slipping off at the head of the fleet. The greater part of the fleet went off on the starboard tack in order to obtain suMcient ofing to weather Matimnicock. The Peerless got away shortly after the Tidal Wave and was followed by the sloops Nimbus and Orion and the schooner Mystic, leading the Daphneypnd Alert. After mak- ing a stretch on the starboard tack the fleet WENT IN STAYS and stood for Matinnicock; but with the exception of the ‘triton, who had a good offing, they all had to tack again, and some made two or three tacks, The breeze appeared to be freshening, and after weathering Matinuicock the sckeoners 8\t their jib topsails, staystails and fore topsails. The schooners soon began to overhaul the little sloop Annie M., and before reaching Matinnicock the Triton had disposed of the Sea Witch, and passing the Annie M., led the fleet. The Tidal Wave, as soon as she got fairly settled down to her work, walked through the fleet and took second place, followed by the Orion, Nimbus, Daphne, Peerless, Sea Witch, Mystic, Aunie M.and Alert in the order named, When they got a good offing from Matiunicock sheets were lifted and they lay their course east northeast for New Haven. The Peerless was gall- ing like a race horse and giving the Tidal Wave a good lead. The Alert was bringlag up the rear and gradually Lasoo further astern, so much so that an old sait suggested ahe was PLAYING FERRY BOAT, Shortly after the flect had passed Matinnicock the breeze died away considerably and then hauled more to the easixard, finally settling down about northeast. Staysails and balloon i topsails were taken in and the fleet hauled up on the wind. Coming up to Oak Neck the Triton led the fleet, followed by the Orion, Peerless, Tidal Wave, Nimbus and Daphne each on the port tack, and in the above order. The Mystic came next, about a quarter of a mile ahead of the Sea Witch, which ceonyet astern when hauled on the wind, The Annie M. followed after the Sea Witch, and the Alert was away over on the New York shore, Abouteleven A. M, the breeze freshened up a little and made sailing a little more interesting. Coming up to LLOYD'S NECK | the Triton led the ficet, sailing very well, and fol- | lowed by the Orion, Nimbus, Peerless and Tidal Wave, in the order named, ‘the sloop Daphne came next, leading the schooner Mystic. The Annie M. was tacking about in-shore, doing pretty well, and the Sea Witch was about three-quarters of a mile astern, The Alert appeared to be doing a litule better, running along the north shore. Shortly aiter noon several yachts belonging to the SRAWANHAKA YACHT CLUB came out of Oyster Bay and fired a salute, which was returned by the Atlantic Yacht Club. The Triton, Orion, Nimbus, Peerless, Tidal Wave and Daphue were off Eaton's Neck. The tide was just turning ebb, and the Mystic kept on the starboard tack, standing across to the other shore. The Sea Witch was still of OAK NECK, and appeared in trouble, About one P.

MASSACHUSETTS LIBERAL REPUBLICANS, Manifesto of the New Organization in the State. A Review of tho Republican Party and the Cause of the Division—Another Heavy Blow Aimed at the Administration—Greeley’s Roc- ord and the Bond Which Now Holds the Democratic Party. Boston, August 5, 1672, To-morrow the Massachusetts Liberal Republican Committee will issue their organization manifesto. The document is a formidable one. Commencing with an apology for separating from the regular republican organization in the present campaign, the reformers review the history of the republican party during the past twelve years, from the election of Abraham Lincoln to the election and administration of General Grant. The latter, it is charged, has fatled to appreciate the dignity and responsibility of his position; that his republicanism has been that of the narrowest partisanship, and that he has proceeded to use his oilice largely to promote his personal ends. In place of taking into his Cabinet and confidence leading and eminently suitable republicans, the President has taken as his advisers the most objectionable men whom personal intrigue had gratuitously given high position, and whose sycophancy had ministered to his personal wants. The St, Domingo affair and Sumner’s decapitation from the chairmanship of the Committee on Foreign Relations are next passed in review. The “military rings’ come in for a large share of abuse, and the Senatorial com- bination, the thick and thin supporters of the Presi- dent, also receive some heavy shot. Coming to the all-important subject of the Presidential contest the address says :— MR, GREELEY’S LIFE is the assurance of his republicani He has pro- claimed his fealty to the principies of the party oftener than any one of his contemporaries, has never made a Word of recantation, and has done no act in contradiction to his professious, No one would think for a moment of doubting him were it not for the fact that he is & candidate against Grant. for the Presidency, It is charged that his nomination at Balti- more will send him over to the democratic party. There fs not a particle of proof that {tls to have this effect. On the contrary, the proof is all against it. It is said that one or the other of the parties must change. If so, the question as to which {8 to change is not an open question. It is settled already. The democratic party has changed, it has taken a new departure. Not grudg- ony or formally—merely to gain a temporary end, with the ulterior design of failing to keep faith with the people. It has put itself on record in a way which leaves no doubt on this point, Nothing could be franker, clearer, more explicit than is its peers: ‘To deny that it means to adhere to what Ga is to suppose it to be gulity of a public fraud, such as was never perpetrated by any arty in the country, and is never likely to . The men who composed the Democratic Con- vention were honorable men, They will compare favorably with the Pep Abuses or With any class of citizens, They publicly gave their word and pledged their honor to the people; and to assume that they did this for deceptive purposes, and that it was all a lic and a sham, is to make an astounding charge against a body that represents nearly half the American people, and to confess that honesty 80 far gone out of the nation that we are no Jonger it for self-government, Lut it is only heal or unreasoning prejudice, or a per senate unreflecting fear, that urges this, THE CHANGE IN THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY isagenuine one. It is a change that is entirely honorable as well. It is palpably indyced by the prone of events. “Slavery hav- ing ended, why keep up strifes,” democrats urge, “that were only appropriate to the time of its existence ? Let not men who agree on other points, and who have @ common purpose to rescue this government from unworthy hands, (li- vide on a dead issue.”’ The action on the part of the democrats, in not only accepting a platform that ygnizes the abolition of slavery, the enfran- ment of slaves and the equality of all men before the law, but concedes besides every- thing essential for which the republican has contended, is as auspicious for the cou {t 1s honorable to the men who were cot cerned in it. It inaugurates a new era in our poll- se and renders it impossible that the old strifes that have divided men shail be perpetuated, Es- clally is it to be welcomed in its etfect upon the uthern people. A significant symptom is the earnestness with which men from this section of the country have come forward to assent to this declaration of faith. The prospect is, therefore, not only of a union among the democrats and those ‘epublicans who are more attached to the princi- es than they are to the organization of the part; ut also of the return to harmony of the two sec- tions of the country. If this be really brought about it will prove a con- summation glorious beyond what the most sanguine republicans have dared to hope for. It will bring with it a burial of the strifes, the hates, the bitter- nesses, Which have divided brethren and have done more to impair the prosperity of the nation in the past and to threaten it for the future than all other causes combined. The American who, with such a prospect before him, allows his doubts or his jealousies to overcome his magnanimous instincts commits a sin the magnitude of which it were dim- cult to overestimate. Let him I%sitate long before he yields to cold distrust of his brethren, and rudely repulses their overtures towards reconciliation.

Doubtful as was the result up to yesterday, the election in North Carolina, following hard upon the Sumner and Banks letters, has created a great flutter among the politicians of the new Sixth (New Jersey) Congressional district, which comprises Newark and the balance of Essex county, The democrats and liberal republicans have been singing Jubilate Deo ever since Friday last, while the Grant republicans, with sour looks, hate to hear North Carolina mentioned, or make bold effort to declare, now they have fully considered the matter, they can see where they were fools to expect a vic- tory in the Tar Heel State. Is is only the bolder ones that say this. There is going on, meanwhile, a regular breaking up of the old splendidly disct- sman George A. Halsey, wt. Congor, Ira M. Harrison and other agents, Itis astonishing to find the num- ber of men who a few days ago deported them- selves as being strong for Grant now whispering it arouna that they have been Greeleyized for | months past. Jn weil informed republican politi- | cal circles itis believed that an explosion will take place shortly, and thata Tsang Fe owing of hands willbe had aliaround, There have been rumors circulated doubting the fealty of Marcus L. Nord, the popular ex-Governor, but a reliable republican, well posted generally in local politics, says there is not agrain of treason in “the soldier's friend,” and that he has already been settled upon as tie nominee for Congress to succeed Hon. George A, | Halsey, who has served two terms. Mr. Ward would inake a splendid run. The best man the democrats have who is named for the position, and about the only one who would have a chance of beating Mr. Wood, ts ex-Mayor George J. Ferry, a strong Greeley man, and well and favorably known aga conservative. His record in Orange is spot- less, and itis probable he would ran weilin the township, where the democrats have most danger to fear. Another regular politician, who is a source of considerable anxiety to the regular republicans just now, is ex-State Senator Rmes L. Hayes, who is sometimes called “UNCERTAIN JIMMY."? It ts a byword among Essex county politicians that one never knows where to place James during a season of doubt. It has been stated in the local democratic organ that James was aGreeley mau. As he has not: promptly nailed the matter one wa or the other the matter is beginning to be consid- ered interesting. Among those who “want to know” are the members of the Union League. They have written a letter to the Uncertain, it is stated on good authority, and he will have to show iis hand very soon, There is going to be @ very iively race in both parties for the rincipal county nomination—the County Clerkship. In the repub- lican ranks Judge Jotun Mills, Mayor Ricord, Al- derman James L, Gurney and others are nanied, the chances being in favor of the Mayor. The aspl- rants on the democratic side are not so numerous, The oy, prominent names mentioned with the clerkshi B ore Alderman A. U. Westervelt, ex-Presl- dent of Common Council, and the present Assistant Clerk, Julius Cxsar Fitzgerald. As the latter has gone recently into the tailoring business it is thought by some that he himself thinks Westervelt {3 an inch or two ahead. Aud 80 the political world of Essex revolves, GENERAL JOHNSTON FOR GREELEY. A Commanication trom the Veteran Pro- claiming His Determination to Support the Baltimore Nominee: Sr. Lours, Mo., August 6, 1872, The Times to-morrow will publish a letter from General Joseph E. Johnston, dated Charlotte, 4, 23 | time is no comrades that you communicate with that the story of of the Cincinnati Commerctai is false. 1 have had no consultation with W. 8. Robinson, of Char- lotteville, on any subject ; have nevey said anything favoring Grant’s re-election, On the contrary, bejng &@ thorough democrat I would have preferred a democratic candidate; but as Horace Greeley is nominated by our party I sincerely hope every democrat will vote for him. Being disfranchised, I take no public part in politics, Due to my friends I do not hesitate to express my feclings and opinion on political subjects. I think the overthrow of the present adininistration heegenyg | to any hope of constitutional government, and fee} that a continu- auce of the democratic party is necessary, | LONG ISLAND POLITICS. Grevley and Brown Stock Above Par—De- serting the Republican Cominittecs. The political situation on Long Island 1s very promising for Greeley and Brown, The republican county committees are fast losing their leading members. ‘The latest conversion is that of Dr. Spinner, of Greenpoint, Chairman of the Suffolk County Republican Committee. S0 many members have seceded from the Queens County Committee that Mr. Prince has had primaries called for August 18 to have the vacancies filed. At Huntington, on Saturday night, a Greeley club was organized, with Frederick J, Catre (republican) as President; HJ. Pong (republican) and N. B. Conklin (demo- erat) as Vice Presidents, In Southold town a Greeley club has been formed, with Ex-Super- visor Overton, Ex-School Commissioner Eimer, ex-County Treasurer Joseph H. Gould, all old repub: Heans, as officers. In Lakeland there is not a Grant man to be found. Supervisor Wood, of Istip, is out for Greeley. Smithtown has a large number of Greeley republicans, In South Hampton the Greeley- ites are.very strong. A paper for the organization of a Grant club received jour signatures, Astoria organized a Greeley club on turday, On the same evening the democratic organizations throughout Long Island City endorsed Grecley ana Brown. There 1s a Greeley club in Jamaica and a Grant club with five members, each having an oi cer. The colored men are for Greeley, ‘The dem- ocratie organization at Rockaway will not change its name, but Con Reiley says Greeley is the man, ANOTHER SUPPORTER OF GREELEY, JACKSON, Miss., August 5, 1872, Judge W. M. Hancock, Chairman of the Repub- Kean Executive Committee of this Congressional district, has addressed a letter to Judge Alcorn, Chairman of the Liberal State Committee, annuune- ing his intention to support Greeley, SUMNER REPUDIATED BY COLORED MEN, OBERLIN, Ohio, August 5, 1872, The colored citizens of Oberlin held a large meet- ing to-night, and adopted resolutions repudtating Sumner and urging colored men throughout the country to be true to the republican party and sup- port Grant, MONMOUTH PARK RACES. + Four races will be run to-day at Monmouth Park, the first being the Thespian Stakes, valued at $500, added to a sweepstakes of $50 each, play or pay., for two-year-olds; the second to receive $100, and the third $50 out of the stakes; three-quarters of a mile.

This race will not be a very Siisrea ine One as only two have accepted the weights. ‘Tis kind of race has always beeu a popu- lar one, however, with the old turfites, but not with the owners of horses, as it is @ very scvere one, There would have been a greater mimber of entrances and acceptances, however, for.the race | had the prize been for a purse instead of a cup, as | the majority of the owners of race horses froma distance prefer greenbacks to cups of the same | value. It would be well for proprietors of race | courses to bear this in mind, The pool sales at the West End Hotel last night on to-day’s races were as follows :— F THBSPIAN STAKE!

ALEXANDRIA BAY, THOUSAND ISLANDS, August 5, 1872, The President and General Sheridan gave the promised reception to-day on Pullman Island to the denizens of this district and the citizens from other places who came to pay thelr respects, The usual handshaking took place, and little Phil took in the kissing of the babies and the girls who car- ried them whenever the latter were good looking. During an interval at tho reception I conversed a short time with President Grant and asked him if he had received any private despatches relative to the election in North Carolina, ' The President answered, “No, sir; I have received no information from North Carolina except what has been given me by the Heraip. It seems to have a large staf of reporters down there, and if they be all as persevering as you Iam prepared to trust to the HERALD to learn all that can be known about it.’ THE RESULT IN NORTH CAROLINA. CorRESsPONDENT—The HERALD will do justice to all parties, What do you think yourself will be the result ? The PRESIDENT—Well, both parties claim the vior tory; but I think the republicans will win by a small majority. CORRESPONDENT—Will you consider a small mae jority a victory for the republicans % The Presipent—To a certain extent yee. In 1870, you know, the democrats had a majority of several thousand down there, and the republicans have been able to gain upon them, eveu without absolutely carrying the State, I think it would not be an error to regard it as a republican victory. CorRESPONDENT—Do you consider that the result either way in North Carolina will have much effect on the general election in November The Presipent—Oh, yes, it will, It must have the effect of encouraging or discouraging the wavering of both parties. I see by the HERALD that it is very difficult to ascertain tho result in North Carolina at present, and I have no reason elther way to predict tt, CORRESPONDENT—Do you feel very anxious about it, Mr. President ? GRANT AND A SECOND TERM. The Presipenr—Well, I cannot say that Ido and I will not say that Idon't. Iwas not anxious to be President a second term, but 1 consented to re- ceive the nomination simply because | thought that was the best way of discovering whether my coun- trymen, or the majority of them, really believed all that was alleged against my administration and against myself personally. ‘The asperities of an election campatgn will give my political opponents, and my personal enemies an cee and an excuse to say all that can be said against me. That pportunity I do not grudge them, and [depend on the people to rebuke or to indorse me, as they see fit. All those who have treated me unfairly have now a chance to declare themselves, CORRE#PONDENT—Then I may say you do not personally covet the position any longer? The PREsiDENT—NO, sir, The mere fact of my having occupied the position! have already eg- joyed was an honor to me, which, 1 trust, T shall duly appreciate. But attacks were made upon me long before I had fuililied my term aud before 1 had ever thought of a second term. S FELOCMANELY CONSENTED to enter upon this secon’? stroggle, and I would not have done bo at ail if I did not feel a desire to know whether the majority of my Ww citizens were wiliing to aid my enemies in fastening slanders up- on me.
