NORTH CAROLIN! Conservative Agony and Mercurial- Like Sensations at an End, THE LONG LOOKED-FOR RESULT. Caldwell Elected by About Eleven Hundred Majority. SAMBO WILD WITH DELIGHT. Alleged Gigantic Frauds and Threats from Merrimon. Democratic and Republican Demonstra- tions to Celebrate the Event. pb el pllo Renee THE LATEST RETURNS. RavziGn, N. C., August 7, 1872, At last the agony of suspense is over. The re- gult of the election is known to be decidedly in favor of the republicans, and everybody, the van- quished as well as the victors, breathe easier. The news from the west this morning brought In- telligence from the Transmountain regions, indi- gating the election of Caldwell as certain, and the telegraph this afternoon confirmed the losses to the conservative ticket, which made the contest turn in favor of the republicans. Merrimon failed to runin the west as the democrats anticipated, and hence the result against him. REPUBLICANS GRINNING DROADLY, The repuvlicans wear a broad grin, while the conservatives are crestfallen; but itis doubtful if they are not all experiencing move relief from cer- fain defeat than they have drawn comfort from the Houbts and rising and falling hopes of success, al- ternating between anticipated success and appre- hended defeat, as they have been for the past several days. Large preparations for a republican riuimphal procession to-morrow night are in rogross, and the republicans generously offer to relleve their defeated opponents of the ex- naive stock of freworks and combustibles laid in for democratic use. Various and endless are the uses assigned why Merrimon is defeated, but the rincipal, if not the only cause of the defeat, is the ower of the administration freely exercised; the influence of the federal Courts aud intimidation by eral office-holders, F THE TERRORISM OF DEPUTY MARSITALS in the whiskey and Ku Klux districts, fraudulent Voting and every other operating cause ana influ- nce that could be devised by the spirit of radical- ism. The negroes are delighted at the result, and in proportion as we see democratic despondency the lectrification of the ebony physiognomy of the “man and brother’ is perceptible. But there is noth- ing new to be said on the rising or falling of the spirits of this people. They have experienced Verything Within the last five days, aud now that jhe result 1s known there is less jubilation on the art of the victors than had the result been sooner pnnounced; while the democrats find in the certain Fecall of John Pool from the United States Senate a pas of unbounded satisfaction and consolation, fo say nothing of having both branches of the Legia- lature and five of eight Congressmen. So after all {| maf VICTORY 13 WITH THE DEMOCRATS. They would gladly take Caldwell for tho sake of getting rid of Pool, for they much prefer Caldwell without Pool then to have Merrimon with Pool. ‘he democrats are also fully impressed that they have been cheated out of the election, and Judge Merrimon is in receipt of despatches and letters from all parts of the State urging him by all means focontest the election, as they assert there are housands upon thousands of filezal votes polled. ; The interest manifested in tiis election ia at- tested by the marvellous feats of tclegraphing per- formed at this office, From Thursday night to Wed- nesday morning, intermitting only Sunday, not only were tiie lines busy with the press, but thou- Bands of messages to individuals were transmitted, eeping Manager Stark and his two assistants at heir instruments from noon until daylight the mext morning every day since Thursday. The amount of telegraphing for the HzraLp and other New York papers far exceeds ail the business ever Hone at this point for the same longth of time, to Bay nothing of the private business, which has been twice as much more. Raleigh las now had an ex- ample of the enterprise of New York journalism. MURDER AT THE POLLS. As an instance of the tyranny exerted over colored conservatives by their radical brethren, and of the terrible risk they incur if they attempt to vote independently, I give the following:—At Cut ton’s Mills, Franklin county, on tue day of election, Hal Young, @ man of color and a conservative ever since the war, exercised his right as a freo man by voting for the conservative ticket, As soon as he had deposited his ticket, and before time was given him to leave the polls, Tom Spivey, another colored man, took @ pitchfork and killed him where he stood. The murderer was arrested upon the spot, and is now tn the Louisburg jail. No quarrel had taken place; but the foul deed was perpetrated to gratity that hatved which seems to lurk in the heart of some of (he colored race against those of their own color who dare vote independently and for the per- pons of their choice. It is to be hoped that this murderer will meet a merited doom at the hands of the executioner; | BUT CALDWELL WILL PROBABLY PARDON HIM. ‘ane forlorn hope of the democrats of heavy gains in the western counties was blasted this evening upon the reception of the news irom the west, which showed only a gain of twenty-nine in eleven Of the largest democratic counties in that section. Haywood county gave Merrimon a majority of 329, again of 8; Jackson, 908, gain of 47; Macon, 523, gain of 230; Clay, 100, gain of 56; Cherokee and Swain, 250, gain of 2; Transylvania, 390, a loss of 118; Alleghany, 200, loss of 19. Henderson county gaye Caidwell a majority of 252, democratic loss of 100; Madison 6, demo- cratic loss of 15; Mitcheil 350, democratic loss of 159; footing up in all a democratic gain of only 29 votes, HOPES DEFERRED MAKING THE HEART SICK, The few that still had Wagering Lopes of victory became sick at heart when tils announcement was made, and went home gloomy, despondent and crestfalion, A crushing defeat of Lee's army at any time during the war could scarcely have had a more woful effect than did this news of the election of Tod R. Caldwell as Governor of the State. As the election is talked over and everybody becomes calmer the democrats begin to congratulate themselves that the defeat 1s @ good enough victory for one time, after all. Their spirits have considerably revived to-night, and they are now enthusiastic enough to have a grand Jubilee on Friday night, with a torchlight procession and speaking by ex-Judge Merrimon, General Shipp, General Fowler, Major Gales and others, This is an offset to tho republican glorification to-morrow night. The latest estimates made from the democratic returns received show a republican gain in eighty. mine counties heard from unomiclally of 6,126, From this deduct Shipp'’s majority in 1870, 4,905, ana Caldwell is elected by a majority of 1,126 votes, The republicans claim his election by from 2,000 to 2,500; but when the full oficial returns are received it will not be much over the democratic estimate. isiature stands as follows:— Democrats, 31; republicans, 19.

Madison and Deer Lodge counties are very close and claimed by both parties, innis is still ahead throughout the Territory. A iter despatch this afternoon says Maginnis, the democratic candidate for Delegate, is 200 ahead, with Damon county yet to hear from, which 18 ex- pected to turn the scale in favor of Claggett, the republican candidate.

A Colored Meeting im Cleveland—The Great Enfranchised Ridiculing the Masterpiece of Liveration--Black In- grats Scofing at the Massachusetts Sen= ator. CLEVELAND, Ohio, August 7, 1872. Alarge meeting of colored citizens was held in Lyman's Hall this evening to take action with regard to Charles Sumner’s recent letter. An intelligent colored watch engraver, named Reagan, presided and made a speech in criticism of the letter in question. Other speeches were made by a lively negro politician from Allegheny county, Pa., named Ware, an old colored gent named Williams, identi fied with the Abolition struggle in this part of the country from the first, and by a coun mulatto graduate of the high school, named Wilson. Resolutions were adopted condemning the letter of Mr. Sumner and characterizing it as an insult to the negro race. The idea that any man could mould their views adversely to their judgment! Unlike similar meetings in other cities there was little attempt to mingle praise with censure by itoratin, he appreciation of colored men for what Charles Sumner had done for their race in the past. Sumner’s Civil Rights bill was even ridiculed, Despatches were read detail- ing republican successes in North Carolina, which, with the various points of the speakers, were up- roariously applauded. There 13 much rejoicing this evening among the repulslicans over the news from North Carolina, and they promise lively times for to-morrow. ANDREW JOHNSON ON THE STUMP, KNOXVILLE, August 7, 1872, Ex-President Andrew Johnson arrived to-day and took rooms at the Lamar House.

The weather was all that could be desired. The sky was overcast for an hour or more, when it clearea off, with an exhilarating breeze, which made the scene most enjoyable, The first race was the UNFINISHED RACE of yesterday, for horses that never trotted better than 2:40. The horses were called at twenty min- utes to two and got the word on the fifth score, Camors took the lead and maintained it until after Passing the three-quarter pole, when he was overhauled by Crown Prince, who came in two lengths ahead, in 2:26%. After deliberation the judges gave the heat to Crewn Prince. Camors broke down on the homestretch, and Doble could not whip him into adecent gait, It was asserted that he had been drugged _ previous to the trot, but there was no foundation for the report. ‘The folowing is a summary of the bias a W.

An Interview with Supcrintendent Faile, Chairman of the Visiting Committer—Roze McCabe on Black- well’s Isinnd at Her Own Requevt=— Press Publications and Court Affi- davits All a Tissue of Falschoods. The story of Rose McCabe's sudden dis- appearance from the Bloomingdale Asylum has excited considerable attention, and a HEraLp reporter pnid a visit to Blackwell’s Island yesterday and found that her presence there was an established fact, and subsequently ascertained on reliable authority the cause of her removal from Bloomingdale. Mr. Thomas i. Faiie, who is Chatr- man of the Visiting Committee and one of the chief superintendents of the Asylum, stated that he was connected with the Bloomingdale institution about fourteen years; had always, on all occasions of his visits, aright to enter every apartment in the building, afid could vouch forthe manner in which it was conducted, and solemnly believed no institution could be more fairly conducted. Neither the superintendents nor any members of the com- mittee receive the least emolument for the trouble they take. REPORTER—Mr. Fatle, were you aware that Rose McCabe was a patient in tho asylum ? Mr. FatLe—Certainly, I was perfectly aware of it. She was in, J may say, an incurable state of insanity. She was received into the asylum at the request of her sister, who is I believe a mantua-maker, and who paid the institution for her sister's main- tenance, Rose was always wrangling with her attendants and was exceedingly troublesome. She asked at different times to be removed from one apartment to another. Her request was always She finally asked to be removed well’s Island, The most urgent reasons she had were, I believe, in order that she might have an opportunity of ‘confessing’ with less dificulty. She left Bloomingdale on Raturday morning last. I am not certain if her sister, Who is in Saratoga, had received any intima- tion of her removal. It was not of any importance to the institution that sie shonld be detained there; when patients are generally found incura- ble there is an objection to detain them, particu- larly-when their removal is requested, and more particularly when they are too poor to pay for their mInaintenance. When Mr, Townsend mace the as- sertion that this was the fifth similar case he could charge the institution with, Mr. Townsend was under a great mistake, ReporTER—MY. Faile, have you arrived at any de- cisive action on this matter, or has your Board held any consultation regarding it? ir. FAILE—Yes, sir. Our committee met to-day at Bloomingdale Asylum, and discussed the matter at reat length. The President, Vice President, Mr. Ward, the Secretary and I were the only members rescht, The committee consists of six mem- Bors. ‘They meet regularly every month, and are most scrupulous in receiving reports. They came to a conclusion yesterday that the statements in the press and Court affidavits were a MOST GLARING TISSUR OF FALSEMOODS. Resolutions explanatory of the statements of J. T. Van Vieck, of Mr. and Mrs. Irwin and of Mr. Townsend were put in order, and Mr. Ward noti- fled to see to their publication. Ido not know how Mr. Van Vieck could have come in contact with the bat Le for there is no such privilege allowed. Mr. Faile further said that Miss McCabe's state of insanity was, he believed, chronic Neither time nor care in the institution, he said, could remove it. He did not belleve the institution was bound to ey? her, even if she had not previously requested to leave. They intend to make'lt a curative asylum, not a place for incur- ables, The explanation from the committce, he thought, would be satisfactory. Boston,“August 7, 1872, The Continental Sugar Refinery, on the corner of First and Granite streets, South Boston, was en- tively consumed by fire this evening. The refincry was one of the largest in New England, and the es- timated loss ts about half a million. The light from the lames was visible for miles in all directions, The entire building was destroyed, together with the machinery, One hundred and fifty men are thrown out of employment. There was a large amount of stock in the ae which will be a total loss, The loss 1s supposed to be partly covered by insurance in Boston, New York and other oflices. MARTIAL LAW IN ARKANSAS, LitrLe Rock, August 7, 1872. It is reported this evening that the Governor has determined to declare martial law in Pope county, STOLEN BONDS. Edward A. Kendrick, a broker, was arraigned before Alderman Coman yesterday at the Tombs Police Court on a charge of having in his possession two $500 West Farms bonds, part of the proceeds of a burglary committed on the 19th of October, 1871, at the banking ofice of D. Curtis & Sons, Woodstock, Conn. At the time $20,000 worth of bonds was stolen, and though the victimized firm offered @ reward of $509 to stimulate the activity of the New York de- tectives, nothing was heard about the trangaction until yesterday, when Mr. Kendrick offered two of the stolen bonds to Lawrence Brothers, of No. 16 Wall street, for negotiation, In consulting their list the firm discovered that the bonds were stolen, and Mr. Kendrick was immediately arrested. He declined 40 make any statement until he could com- aaa with his counsel, aad was committed for __. |THE HOME OF HORACE. The Philosopher Flies to the Granite State. Receptions at Nashua and Manchester. COUSINS VS. BROTHERS-IN-LAW. Reminiscences of the Sage’s Childhood. How King Cotton Lives When Slavery is Dead. pe Cae What a Grant Man Thinks of Sumner, Banks, the Presidency and North Carolina, emai Mr. Greeley’s Programme for the Next Ten Days. MancursteR, N. H., August 7, 1972, Previdence was so thoroughly worn out with its great Greeley clambake that it had no heart for any further honors to the Sage of Chappaqua, and the Sage, baited as he had been by kindly hands all day, was evidently glad of it. As early as six o'clock this morning he boarded the Worcester and Nashua train at the Providence Central Depot, while Providence was still asleep, and departed for the neighborhood of his old home in New Hampshire. His immediate destination was Nashua, a ‘city of about fourteen thousand inhabitants, within six miles of which lies the old country house in which TUE INFANT HORACE WAS BORN. Nobody on the route knew that the illustrious hero of the white hat was on board, and on ac- count of the early hour at which the train started there were hardly more than fifty people on board. There were, however, a number of persons tdling about the stations at Pawtucket, Woonsocket, Waterford, Uxbridge, Worcester, Clinton, Lancas- ter, and even Groton, where the cottage home of Secretary Boutwell, a yellow frame building, looks down upon the station, and they recognized the familiar white hat in the car window, studied the features a moment, became convinced that it was truly Horace Greeley and then went off into shouts and harrahs, HE ARRIVED AT NASITUA at a few minutes after nine, and was met at the station by Mr. H. M. Kellogg, a strong republican, whose wife is a cousin of the great man’s; ex-Sen- ator H. J. Chapman, Major Samuel Tuck, Henry Eaton, all democrats, and Charles 8, Bussell, a heretofore wavering Grant republican, The town had been informed of his coming by a despatch which the entnuslastic conductor, Mr. Brooks, had forwarded from Worcester. The party drove at once to Mr. Kellogg's residence on Palm street, where Mr. Greeley saluted his cousin and remained to dinner. Mr. Kellogg is an overseer of the Nashua Company’s Mills, and, although proud of his distin- guished relative’s high honor, plaintively admits that he is debarred by the force of unhappy pre- cedents from expecting office. NASHUA BECOMES NOISY. On returning from Mr. Kellogg's to the Tremont House he djscovered that the town had awakened to the honor conferred upon it by his visit, A brass band—which, by the way, had played at a Grant club meeting the night before—discoursed patriotic airs as he came, and the street in front of the hotel was crowded with citizens and citizencases, and farmers’ wagons with rustics occupying every available spuce upon them, while the steps and the lobby of the hotel were thronged with people. The Philosopher entered the hotel, took station in the rear part and submitted with more than his usual urbanity to THE GREAT AMERICAN ORDEAL of handshaking. It was evident that he felt as if his foot was on his native heath again, and that he was among his own home folks. Among the gentle- men who shook his hand and passed the ordinary courtesies of the season with the Sage were Mr. J. H. Goodale, ex-Secretary of the State for New Hampshire; General Hunt, an old militia com- mander; Henry Greeley, a young SEVENTH OR EIGHTH COUSIN OF THR SAGE, Lawyer Barrett, Mr. W. M. Bailey and a number of others prominent in Nashua circles; whileamong the ladies Mrs. Balley, who is another cousin, three Misses Greeley—young ladies all cousins in the second or third degree—and several old gray- headed ladies, who saluted Horace as the eountry boy whom they knew manv years ago. One of these, Mrs, Remkle, shook hands with him and sald :— “I knew you, Mr. Greeloy, forty years ago.” “We were both of us somewhat younger, then, Mrs. Romkle,” responded Mr. Greeley, “but time is not such a grim monster after all."’ A Mr. Wood presented to him some photographs of the old Greeley farmhouse, where the great chief was born. HE DID IT WITH AIS LITTLE HATCHET, “I see the resemblance very clearly,” said Mr. Greeley, “but out here there ought to be a big elm tree.”’ ‘The Philosopher as he received the company wore his customary state dress, consisting of the claw hammered coat, Mnen pants, the leg bottoms of which were rather ambitious, and carried in his hand a black umbrella, and frequently wiped his brow with a red silk handkerchief. He had a word to say to the slough of relatives precipitated upon him, and generally discussed espeniogioa subjects with them in @ manner that disclosed what he knew about the earlier branches of the Greeley family. At half-past three the band ranged itself outside, half a dozen open carriages were drawn up in front of the hotel, and the Philosopher, accompanied by @ delegation of citizens and the other members of his party, rode, escorted by an impromptu tri- umphal proces, headed bya marshal, in unl- form, to the Concord depot. MORE MORAL WAXWORKS, On the way the procession halted fora moment while a huge creer banner was flung to the breeze. The Philosopher dotfed his hat to It, but made no motion to speak, and the carriages moved on, . It passed through the principal streets of the city, the sidewalks being crowded by a diverse company of men, women, beg and girls, and the win lows of the huge tactories along the route being thronged by operatives waving their handkerchiefs and shout- ing. For an impromptu ovation gotten up within a half hour it was the most complete and gratifying public ol he ‘the Philosopher had yet received, and occurring as it did among the scenes of his childhood, tt was an honor which is accorded to few hoe in their country. The ovating fol- lowed him to the depot, and its sentiment was even wafted after him on the oreeze in shouts and cheers as TUR ENGINE SWIFTLY DORE WIM AWAY. The" delegation of citizens and the Nashua band font him to Manchester, where in tne meantime word ot his coming had been tele- grareee and where eforts were at once entered nto for an ovation worthy of the occasion. Al- though an hour was all the time allotted to the Manchester people they succeeded beyond all Man- chester precedents, The roar of cannon, aunounc- ing a national salute of thirty-seven guns, greeted the ears of the statesman as the cars turned into the station, The music of the brass band floated through the quiet intervals between the cannon shots, and the cheers of the multitude assembled to escort him rent the air, A delegation of citizens of Manchester, consistin; of ex-Governor Weston, Dr. Alfred Berry anc Colonel Waterman Sinyth, met him at the depot | and again the party entered open carriages, Again the band preceded them and araio, the impromptu cortége wended its way through the streets. Gree- ley and Brown flags floated from a dozen masts, or hung pendent in a dozen streots, and private bunt- ing, hurriedly hoisted to the fore, fluttered from dozens of private dwellings. The party was driven to the residence of ANOTHER COUSIN OF MR. GREELEY, Mr. F, Perry, on Prospect street. The house was bedecked with flags in honor of the occasion. Dr, ron is an own cousin of the Philosopher, and it has been the custom of Mr. Greeley to visit him yearly for many years past. In prosperity he has i forgotten the humbicr members of the stock row Wi the alarm which the coun’ feel at this prey ayo eruption of fea beara neces- sary only, say that all the aforesaid relatives, 80 far, have been spapaan ty able with their New Eng- themselves, and are not likely 16 persuade dade recleyy If elected President, to or COUNTRY TARE CARE OF THEM, A maguisoent, reception was given to the dis- tinguished at Dr. a As early as eight o'clock the crowd dd the street in every direction, choking Ld avenue 80 that car- riages could limped pass the door, The band layed pores and the her, convers- with Colonel Kelly, Mr. Alpert Jackson and a few friends in the rior, blandly awaited the hour when his hant-shaking ordeal was again to com- mence, But the crowd in the meantime became uproarious. They demanded a speech, and when Colonel Kelly went out to pacify them by an invita- tion to come and shake the hand of the object of their admiration they responded with even more tumultuous demands. “Mr, Greeley,” said Colonel Kelly, “I think you will have to make a speech.” ‘The ever-ready Philosopher replied resigned! “Well, if I nave, to 8] ak, carat and rit that moved out to the piazza. © most en- thuslustic cheering flew upward from the lips of the immense concourse as_his portly re and globe- like head appeared, He bowed and bowed, but the cheering continued, and, as ft the crowd feared that he might compromise with them on bows and thanks, oie continued to demand a speech. Mr. Albert Jackson finally came to the front, and quieted the crowd instantly by raising his arm. “Gentlemen. and ladies,” said he, “if you will cares ee preee, Mr. Greeley will speak a few words ir, Greeloy thereupon advanced to the ¢ of the piazza and said :— i MR.

Feutow Crrizens or My NATIVE STATR—You are aware that T am among you on a visit to my relatives and the playmates of my childhood— (chzers)—as I have often been among them the half century since I left this neighborhood in quest ofa living elsewhere, I first saw Manchester filty- seven years ago, When a flood and running ice in the Merrimack rendered it impassable at Reed's or Thornton's Ferry, and compelled my father, returning with mo from my _ grandfather's in Londonderry to our home in Amherst, to take a cirouitous route in order to cross at this Roe by an old and rickety structure know» as Mc(regor's Bridge. There were tiree or four fishermen's huts on the site of this thrifty, productive city of thirty to forty thousand inhabitants. Lowell and Nashua Were unknown, even a8 names, and no cotton mill (cortainiy no print works) existed in this State. The intervening years have witnessed immense steps in the growth of our country’s industry and peansnal prcarcen and T trust that all sections have een benefited thereby—that the cotton grower and the cotton spimner may well rejoice in each other's thrift and prosperity, (Cheers.) Good men sincerely apprehended that IP SLAVERY WERE ABOLISHED cotton would no longer be produced in adequate quantities; but many of them have lived to realize and rejoice that the labor of a free man is worth more than that of aslave. (Vociferous cheers.) 1 trust that other misapprehensions and sectional hatreds are yielding to the lessons of experience; that a long and bright eva of peace and fraternity has dawned neon our once distracted country, and in that faith Lbid you a kindly good night, (Loud and prolonged rt “Three times three for Torace Greeley.” At the conclusion Mr. Greeley made his bow again and withdrew into the parlor, just in ad- vance of acrushing wave of Borsnity that bent against the piazza and swept over it into the par- lor, and the reception commenced in earnest. It lasted until ten o'clock; at least five thousand people finding their way during the eventng into the presence of the great man, and most of them shaking his hand. Among THR MOST DISTINGUISHED OF THE VISITORS were ex-Mayor Harrington, ex-Governor Weston, Dr, Elliott, Albert Jackson, 0. P. Toune, and Captain Pedden, tie latter apologizing for calling, because, as he said, he was the strongest Grant man in the State. Ata late hour Mr. Grecley, thoroughly ex- hausted, refired for the evening, and th: immense concourse dispersing homeward rendered Elm street almost as lively at eleven at night as Broad- way in the afternooa. FUTURE MOVEMENTS, Mr. Greeley to-morrow will co to Concord, twelve Iniles distant, where he will be tendered a public reception, In the evening he will drive out to the residence of Mason W, zaphen, at Bradford, where he will remain in close seclusion for two or three days. Then he will resume his journey northward, traversing the whole State of New Hampshire, vis- iting Bangor and Portland, Me., and returning to New York at the end of next week by way of Ver- mont, Massachusetts and Connecticut. It is worth while to state that on the Concord train which brought the party from Nashua were ex-Governor Harriman, on his way to address a Grant meeting at Concord to-morrow night, and ex-Congressman Stevens, @ strong Grant canvasser, on a similar mission, They occupied a forward car, aud DID NOT PRESENT THIN RESPECTS to Mr. Greeley during the trip. Your correspond: ent, hearing they were on board, proceeded to thelr car and presented his respects, Governor Harriman ts a long, slim, beardiess man, with something of a grayhound litheness about him, and © face of considerable power, It is said that before the war he advocated all the worst isms of democracy ; that he is now Naval Officer of the port of Boston, although he has, it is alleged, not been in the city attending official duties since he was appointed. He was in earlier yoars a Uni- versalist preacher, It will be observed, therefore, that he has gone back on Mr, Greeley’s ol” faith as well as on his own old politics. He conversed very readily with the HERALD correspondeat, CORRESPONDENT—Do you propose coming in to see Mr, Greeley, Governor? Governor HARRIMAN—The crowd ts too great just now. I will see him at Concord, I hope, He and I are old friends, and he has done some very good work for our old party. General StzvENS— ess Ill go in and tell him that we will fight the democratic party again as he and Lused to fight it together. CORRESPONDENT—What do you think of such dem- ocrats as Suinner and Banks ? Governor HakRIMAN—They have lost all the Influ- ence they ever possessed. They can do us no harm, though they might have done us much good. As for Sumner, he is like a heathen god—he can bless and curse nobody, CORRESPONDZNT—How do you think the Presiden- tial election will go? Governor HaBkimaN—I think it will be deter- ae by the fall elections in Ohio and Pennsyl- vania. CORRESPONDENT—And as regards North Carolina ? Governor HarrmaNn—I only left there on Satur- day, and Ican say the State has certainly gone be riety by from 1,500 to 2,000 eet ust then the guns at Manchester, celebrating the advent of the old republican hero of Chavpaqua, sounded through the car, tingling even in the ears of the patriotic Harriman, and your correspondent bidding fair adieu, withdrew.

No greater calamity could befall the country than the election of Horace Greeley. He gave a very able review of the financtal results of Grant’s adminis- tration. THE QUEBEC ELECTION RIOT.

THE CONGRESSIONAL QUESTIONS Aspirants Ready to Contest for the Seats of Banks, Hoar and Dawes. Boston, August 7, 1872. The “going over” or seceaston of Senator Sum- ner and General Banka from the regniar to the Iberal republican party was not wholly unexpected, and when once their positions were definitely declared there’ was hardly the usual nine days’ wonder consequen¢ upon the someraault of @ prominent political acro- bat, Even the party preas has almost ceased'to dis- cuss their acts, but have been chiefly engaged im discussing the probabilities of the gubernatorial contest, which in this State will be an accompani- ment of the coming Presidential election. WILL BUTLER RUN POR GOVERNOR ? Whether or not the indomitable General Butlet Would again be @ candidate has been freely dis- cussed, and varlous efforts have been employed to ascertain directly from his own lips what sort of ® stand he proposed to take. Not until to-day, how- ever, has the General foreshadowed his course. Im conversation with a HeRaup reporter he declared that he had made up his mind not to stump the State as a candidate or in any way enter into s wrangle for the nomination. He proposes to leave the whole matter entirely in the hands of his friends, and if they think fit to nominate him upon Q proper republican platform he will not decline their nomination, and neither will he decline a nomination from the labor reform party, although, as before stated, he will not make any particular Personal efforts to secure it, That the REPUBLICAN OPPONENTS OF BUTLER LAST YEAR) are fearful of his etrength, or some strategic move ment, 1s manifest by the action of a minority of the State Central Committee, who met very quietly @ few weeks ago and issued a call for the Nominating Convention on the 28th inst. There were only Seventeen members of the committee present, an none of the members who were identified with the Butler movement last year were notified of the meeting. This rather surreptitious movement is interpreted as an effort to head of General Butler if he had Intended to have gone be- fore the People as a candidate after his fashion of last fall. The labor reform party, in view of what they believed to be. an unjust act upon the part of the republican com- mittee towards the General, have headed them of by calling their convention one week earlier, and the probabilities are that Butler will be unanimous. nominated, With this nomination at the stare, together with what strength he has in the regular republican party, there is at least a reasonable possibiltity that he may be unexpectedly strong, even despite the convention which was called ear! for the ostensible purpose of securing his defeat. | WASHBURN’S ANTI-PROIIBITION PROCLIVITIRS, "> The administration of Governor Washburn has been in the highest degree unsatisfactory, cvem among his nearest friends in the anti-liquor party. They expected much of him in the suppres, sion of the rum traffic, but he has from the very, beginning ignorea the prohibitory law, and the real carrarsuse leaders deciare that he has disre- Meo! it more steadfastly than any other Governor ‘assachusetts ever had. Taking Washburn’s ad- ministration all through, it is LOOKED UPON AS A FAILURE, . and as boing a failure rather more for what {t has not than for what it has done. His acts im the line of expected reform are more con- Spicuous on account of their absence tham their presence. In this way General Butler reasons, and while he will zealously support General Grant he will just a3 industriously: oppose Governor Washburn, but in doing this he will not make any claims of his own for the nomt- nation, If, however, General Butler should be taken up br his friends as a candidate, his claims for nomination and election would be a great deat better than they were a year ago. The grateful manner in which he accepted his defeat fall, andthe firm support he has given General Grant and his administration all through, have increased his popularity wonderfully among Massachusetts republicans, Furthermore, ty gS THR MULTITUDE OF CANDIDATES oh who were against him tn 1871 are now well out the way. Dr. Loring has withdrawn voluntart and such men as Wilson, Sumner, Dawes, Hoar an others, who were then troublesome, will have all they can well attend toin looking out for their own political welfare. Just exactly what Generat Banks proposes to do has not = transpired. He certainly cannot expect a re-election to Congressy and as a liberal republican and democratic candl- date for Governor he would hardly be a success against any man whom the republicans might nominate. There are already aspirants for Jace in the House in the persons of Jamea N. uftum, the Mayor of Lynn, and ex-Congressman John B, Ally. e former will be nominated by the labor reformers, democrats and liberals, and Mr. Ally will probably get the straight republican nomi- nation, 6 chances of success at the PRESENT STAGE OF THE CAMPAIGN «+ are groatly in favor of Mr. Buffum. In the western on of the State Congressman Dawes will have & ormidable rivalin the person of George Stearns, the District Attorney, and one of the most eminent lawyers in that section. General Butier’s Congres- sional vacancy, if by any compination of circum- stances he should made Governor, will in alt robabiiity be filled by Major Bon Perley Poore, of Fraian Head, near Newburyport. The Major is somewhat like the Chappaqua Sage, inasmuch ashe is hot only an agricuiturist of renown, but also distinguished journalist, and probably willing to try his hand at politics. i THE WEATHER, ee War DEPARTMENT, OFFICE OF THE CHIE?
