The long expected. buffalo hunt, announced to fake place at Clifton, Ontario, July 1 and 4, but which was postponed on account of the United Btates government refusing permission to the In- ‘dians who were to participate in the hunt to leave their reservation, was inangurated to-day at the Niagara Falls Driving Park, under the auspices of Mr. 8.

Y., August 28, 1872, Tt is authoritatively stated that, the leading can- didates heretofore namied for Governor at the Syracuse Convention and their frienda have agreed to nominate by acclamation Charles O’Conor, as the only name on which all the factions can be har- monized, and .as the only absolute exponent of reform acceptable to the proposed coalition in this State. It is authoritatively stated that Governor Hoff- man has agreed to attend the Convention in per- son and present the name of Charles 0’Conor as his successor. The joint withdrawal of audue Church and Governor Hoffman, it is understoo had this basis. It is also authoritatively stated that the friends of Mr. O’Conor have given assur- ance of their ability to secure his acceptance of the responsibility in the interest of reform. MR.

THE BOURBON STRAIGHTS. Blanton Duncan on His Dignity—He Does Not Believe Charles O’Conor Has Seceded from the Louisville Move- ment=—Duncan’s Ambition Cropping Out. LOUISVILLE, Ky., August 28, 1872, Blanton Duncan indignantly denies that Charles O’Conor has repudiated the straight-out democratic movement. He has a letter from Mr. O’Conor, written the day after the interview is sald to have taken place, saying that he is heartily in favor of the straight-out democratic movement, and will give it an unwavering support. Duncan says he is in close communication with Mr. O’Conor, and is fatisfied that the story of his defection isa fraud. Arrangements for the Convention are being made on a grand scale, and Duncan says he has assur- ances that it will be the biggest thing of the year. The letters being received now are ofa liveller and more confident tone, and begin to bring in large lists of delegates. The chairman of the New York delegation telegraphed to-day securing rooms at the Galt House for forty. The labor reformers have established their headquarters at the National, and will play a prominent. igh in the Convention. Duncan has been looking, it is thought, to the Vice Presidency; but it ts now believed that if O’Conor backs out it is not sitoreter: improbable that the party will give him the first place on the ticket. ‘entucky is coming out strong for the straight-out Convention, and it is rumored that Senator Thomas C. McCreery is witn the movement. PROHIBITIONISTS IN COUNCIL. The Old Temperance Divines Divided in Opinion—The Organization Not a Po- litical One—The Republican Party Re- sponsible—A Vote Negatives the Nomi- nation of a State Tickct—Action of the Bolters. Boston, August 28, 1872. Nobody cares this year what attitude the State prohibitory party will assume in the ensuing elec- tion, and the proceedings in their Convention of to-day were attended, therefore, with very little interest. Perhaps two hundred veterans, who boast that they never drank a glass of intoxi- cating liquor in their lives, and are, therefore, best calculated to prescribe remedies for those who are afflicted with intemperance, assembled in the Mejonaon this morning, and have been worryin; each other with words all day. The leading spirits in the party were in attendance at Worcester, and those who were left here comprised the smaller fry, who are for temperance and prohibition first, last and always—so long, at least, a8 there ts a prospect of free bread and butter by serving the cause. Some of them, however, are renlly enthusiasts in their work, and among them fg tlie Rev. Dr. A. A. Miner, who oficiated as President of the Conven- tion, The forenoon session was occupied in a desul- tory and sometimes U4 discussion as to the ex- pediency of makingan independent nomination this year. Dr. Wise believed the time would come when the great masses would sec the need of the move- ment, and, cutting loose from the old parties and sive their efforts to the noble cause. Many men had stood in the dominant party and worked their best to aid sees taille but 900 shops five years ago and 3,000 to-day was the commentary on their course, The result of a canvass on our own basis to-day would not be so satisfactory, in view of the Presidential election, as in ‘1c two previous years, but there was also a question of preserving the morale of the party by independent action. It was @ question of nomination or no nominotion, and one that affected the future. Whatever was done to-day, let no man feel that he had surrendered the cause of prohibition. The party would remain to do a great work hereatter. Sooner or later Mass- achusetts would see that her leadership in the na- tion, her financial renee. and her moral welfare depended on the abolition of the rum trade, and then politicians, who are wax, would mould them- selves to the will of the people. These remarks expressed the sentiment of one wing of the Convention; but the genera! idea seemed to be that avowed by Henry D. Cushing, when he said that the Convention should make no nomination for State oMcers, but throw the burden So the prohibitor: law on the shoulders ofthe republican party. He believed that, sooner or later, i party would be held responsible for the evils of intemperance in Massachusetts, This idea was finally endorsed by the Convention—40 to 33, The oP intment of a Btate Central Commit- tee, with Eliphalet Trask, of Springfield, as chair- man, was followed by the Treating of & series of resolutions deploring the continuance of the tratiic oe rum, after which the Convention ad- journed. Its action {s looked upon as settling the question that the prohibitory party of itself does not care to maintain an independent political existence, but desires only to preserve an influence which may accomplish its end through the medinm ot stronger organizations. LOUISIANA, The End of the Liberal-Democratic Con- ferencemA Fusion Effected and Nomi- nation of a Joint State Tickct—The Great Probicm Now Solved. New ORLEANS, August 28, 1872, The conference Committees of the democratic and liberal parties, after a two days’ session, agreed, at nine o'clock to-night, on a fusion State ticket. This unites all the opponents of Grant and solves the Louisiana political problem by reducing it to an issne between a straight-out Grant and Greeley ticket. The session of the committees was harmonious and resulted in the following nominations :— Governor—John McEnery, democrat. Tientenant Governor—D. B. Penn, liberal. Secretary of State—James Olmsteed, liberal (col- re‘). i aelarney General—H. N. Ogden, reformer. Superintendent of Public Education—K, M. Lusher, democrat. Aucitor—James Graham, liberal, Congressman at Large—General George A, Sheri- dan, liberal. The Congressional nominations were equally divided, The fusion has given great satisfaction. A hundred guns will be fired to-morrow at noon, and a ratification meeting will be held on Saturday night. .'The liberal electoral ticket was adopted throughout.

The Sage Visiting the Creat Curiosity Man. BRIDGEPORT ENTHUSIASTIC. Hospitality En Gros, Speech-Making, Clam-Eating and Serenading. The Philosopher’s Second Po- litical Hit. BripaErort, Conn., August 28, 1872, Philosopher Greeley took his satchel in hand quietly on Tuesday P. M., and, without saying a word to anybody, railroaded away to Bridgeport, Conn., te pay a social family visit to Phineas T. Barnum. That suave prince of tomfoolery over a year ago engaged Mr. Greeley for this occasion only, “positively the first and last appearance,’’ ond in the wonderful mutations of politics and na- tional affairs that have ocourred within the ensuing twelvemonths saw no reason to cancel the engage- ment. Mr, Barnum, a few years ago, was the radl- cal republican candidate for Congress from this district against W. H. Barnum, and was defeated. Since then his views have taken a change and now he has become a lUberal republican, and signs & Greeley call ‘side by side with the other Barnum, & year or two ago his most intimate family foe. MR. GREELEY’S DEPARTURE FROM NEW YORK and arrival in Bridgeport were so quietly arranged that the blessed Sage actually found himself able to appear ai the windows of the cara without call- ing up & crowd, and of going out upon the platform and threading the streets without evoking an ova- tion. Some few loungers about the station at Stamford recognized the historical hat and head and got up the usual enthusiastic cheers. At Bridgeport Mr. Barnum was waiting for him in his carriage, and the two drove at once to the Show- man’s cottage on the shore of the Sound, Here he remained during the evening in social conversation with the family. This morning he started out on a sight-seeing trip through the handsome Connecticut city. He went to a famous ammunition factory owned by the man who, like love, laughs at lock- i smiths and has beaten burglars all hollow in the art of lock picking. The party looked through these works, but failed to see Hobbs, and the Presi- dential candidate inconsequence .ost, possibly, a good chance to improve his knowledge of the art of lock picking. BRIDGEPORTERS EXHIBITING ENTHUSIASM. A number of the manufactories were visited, and the party returned to the palace of the Great Exhibitor, where a social dinner of clams awaited them. The ride through the city served to waken the people to the presence of the great man within its borders. The people recognized the features and the hat of the Philosopher and soon became alive to the honor con‘erred upon them. A small crowd collected in the wake of the passing vehicle and little knots neaded it off at street corners, with shouts for the Sage and waving of hats, and at ono point on Main street a Greeley and Brown banner ‘was flung dexterously to the breeze as the Sage and his host passed under it. At the Post Office a crowd of at least three hundred people was assem- bled, and, after eee and hurrabing the great candidate, they crowded aronnd the carriage aad SHOOK HANDS WITH HIM. He entered cordially into conversation with these, not studiously avoiding politics, but freely express- ing himself on almost any topic. The city then was thoroughly alive, and to-night an ovation, in the shape of a serenade, was tendered Mr. Grecley at the Atlantic Hotel, where he had been invited in order to give the citizena an opportunity to pay their respects to him. First, however, there was @ fine Greeley meeting at the Opera House in the early part of the evening, the call being signed b; over twenty liboral republicans and a correspond- ing number of democrats, At this meeting Mr. Pettingill presided, and Mr. Nathaniel Wheeler, Francis Ives, Mayor Goodsell, Dwight Morris, Colonel 8. B. Sumner and P. T. Barnum made Rpeeches, At the conclusion the crowd adjourned to the Atlantic Hotel, where the serenaders were tuning their instruments for the musical portion of the entertainment. Some interruptions occurred during the meeting. There were at least 1,500 peers in the Opera House; it wes & warm night, and it was natural that they should get restless. Their enthusiasm was great, however, and they continually de- manded to see the great Woodchopper of elie qua, who at this time was calmly contenting Bel AT BARNUM’S COUNTRY HOUsR, two miles away, by iagieiag his customary cor- respondence. “When Mr. ettingill announced that Mr. Greeley would not be present at the mect- ing there was a great show of indignation, but when Barnum announced that he would receive his friends at the close the meet- ing at the Atlantic Hotel, an en- thusiastic cheer went up, and the crowd a good naturediy settled in its seat to await the cherished moment when they should look on Horace Gréeley himself. At about ten o'clock Mr. Greeley, accompanied by Mayor Goodsoll, appeared at the hotel, and, ‘seating himself in the — ladies’ Arior, Was soon surrounded by the prominent reeley people of the city. The room was filled, although the meeting was still in session, The Sage was attired in a black coat and pants and wore his heavy gray overcoat. He was looking un- usually well. At ten o'clock the meeting broke bs and acrowd of people, numbering 3,000, followed the band down to the hotel and shouted for Greeley. The band played two operatic airs, and at the conclusion Mr. Greeley, in response to con- tinned cheers, appeared upon the balcony, sup- ported by Mayor Goodsell and Mr, Barnum. The street was now filled by a dense mass; and a num- ber of people among them, NUMEROUS LADIES, hal stationed themselves in the windows of tho building opposite, where they obtained a command- ing view of the reception parlor and of the brawny form of the Sage as he appeared in front. Mr, Goodsell introduced him as the “next President of the United States,” and when the uproarious cheers that followed had subsided the next Presi- dent let himself out on politics to the following bold and confident extent: GREELEY’S SPRECH. GENTLEMEN OF BRIDGEPORT—My visit here had no reference to your meeting, and, indeed, was Pe ga In tgnorance thaé any meeting was to be held. Tcame here a private citizen, to visit a per- sonal friend, and this great gathering I recelve as something which pects eee of active and earnest lie may possihi: ave in some measure invited, but which I did not anticipate. Allow me, then, when I receive it as an evidence of personal good will and in some meas- ure of confidence, to make a single remark with reference to one aspect of the great atrneele now gommg on in our country. Strategy in politics is the tribute which craft: pays to strength. The wolf- skin proving too short, the fox’s tail is pressed into™ service to piece it out. (Laughter and cheers.) You see at this day a great party struggling .to avert defeat by distracting and breaking up the host which is opposed to it. You would not have the federal officeholders working so hard to get up a third ticket if they did not fee! sure that between the two tickets already in the field the verdict was against them. (Cheers aud cries of ‘Right, old hoss!") The effort, then, to distract the host on our side is a confession of despair. “As such receive it. The confession remains. The despair is not likely to pass away. (Applause.) And so, friends, thanking you tor tpis generous and hearty attend- ance, I bid you a ial good night. At the conclusion the band played again, the crowd shouted and Mr. Greeley descended to tie front door, where the surging masses awaited to shake hands with him. ie police of Bridgeport surrendered all hope of methodizing the hand- shaking process by getting the crowd into Ime; the crowd would not get into line. They persisted in — head frst at the pt age ts from front, right, left and even rear, and then backing out as best they might. THR SURGING OF THR CROWD was enough to have wrecked any weaker vessel than the Woodchopper. Goodgell and Barnum were both nearly carried of their pins once or twice and one of two policemen were foundered early in the storm, but, with his back braced against the doorpost, the Philosopher's pennant, a Bly hat, floated proudly and safely above the blast. “Don't shake too hard, gentlemen,” feebly ex- postulated Goodsell. “Don't kill him,” said a voice in the crowd, “we'll need him in November.” _- At half-past. eleven the Philosopher was com- pelled to retire, having shaken and been shaken as much as even so stout @ gentieman of his years can well afford to be before being taken, and, getting into Mr. Barnum’s carriage, was driven away to tho showman’s seaside home, To-morrow (Thurs- coin morning he returns on the early train to New vork.

IMPORTANT SUIT, ‘The Founder of Cornell University Sued for $117,000. NEWBURG, August 28, 1872, The first hearing of testimony in the suit brought by William A.

Blanchard, requested him to be quiet, He then became more boisterous and the conductor ejected him from the car. Walsn attempted to get on again and the conductor ejected him a second time. Walsh drew a revolver from his pocket and shot the conductor in the arm. Had he missed his aim it might have lodged in some of the eee nser brains. Walsh was ar- Poe oy Officer Brophy, of the Twenty-second precinct, NAVAL INTELLIGENOE. The Yantic Commissioned—A Proposed Visit to Zanzibar Via the 8: Canal Before Joining the East India Squad- Fortress Monro, Va., August 26, 1872, Tue United States steamer Yantic, which was almost entirely rebuilt at the Norfolk Navy Yard during the past year, has been put into commission under command of Commodore Byron Wilson, and has been ordered to proceed to join the Astatic Squadron. Having everything in readiness for sea, she left her moorings in Norfolk on Friday last and dro} down to the Compass Buoys in Hamp- ton Roads and proceeded t just her compasses, andy lay afternoon she came down and an- chored off the fort. She had hardly put her head to the tide when the United States steamer ‘Laliay from Washington, hove in CW and shortly aiter came alongside and placed a draft of seamen and marines on board to complete her coniplement. The following is a list of the Yantic’s officers :—Oommodore Byron Wilson, Commanding; Lieutenant Commander Pignan, Executive OMcer; Lieutenant and onlcer, Ben L. Ede Lentonant, Giipatriog; Masters, Spaulding, Beck and Boadman ; Passed Assistant Paymaster, Parker; Chief Engineer, Aston; Assistant Paymaster, Louts A. York; Assistant Engineer, Galt; Midshipmen, James TI jpson, Mertz, Kinehart and Ashley; Captain's Clerk, James P. Cowardin. Yantic will sail in a day or two for the East India Squadron by way of the Suez Canal, and ft fy by understood that her first duty will be to touch at Zanzibar and inquire into the African slave trade carried on in that section and take immediate ateps to suppress it, @ Yantic is now one of the stanchest vessels in our navy, and, wherever she may be, will, no | doubt, give a good ‘account of herse! withdrawn for consumption or sale in this country ?”” wha After reviewing the law upon the subject the Attorney General says:— ‘mirerae that the word “now” means the 6th of June, and it follows there is no way in which to- bacco weed ‘in a bonded warehouse between said date and the 1st of July can, after the latter date, be withdrawn for exportation without prepayment afthe tax—for on the 1st of July the old law was -Tepeaied, aud.the right to withdraw tobacco after that date for exportation with it to the time when it was stored is precisely the same as the right-to withdraw tobacco forconsumption or sale— Ido not see what difference it makes to the gov- ernment whether tobacco is taken from a bonded warchouse or manufactory after the 1st of July, upon the payment of the new tax, unless possibly the payment may be a little longer delayed in the one than in the other case, On the 6th of June, it is said, there were large quantities of tobacco in transitu from the manufactory to bonded ware- houses, and it certainly seems inequitable that tobacco which reached the warehouse on the 5th of June, and was withdrawn after the 1st of July, should pay a tax of only twenty cents per and, while the same kind of tobacco that reached the warehouse two days afterwards and was withdrawn at the same time is compelled to pay a tax of thirty-two cents a pound. Corgress, with a view to the in- (ooge that might be worked by a change in the law before it should be known to those whose interests were to be. affected thereby, provided that section thirty-one should go into effect on the Ast of July, and the residne of the act, with a few exceptions, on the ist of August. Where it was evident no harm could result, the act, in a few instances, and where it is so expressly pro- vided, takes effect upon its passage. One of the evils of our legislation is the frequent changes in the revenue system ‘of the country, and untess ft clearly appears thatthe in- tent of 38 is otherwise they ought to be con- strted go as to affect with equal justice all those upon whom they are intended to operate. My opinion is that all tobacco stored in bonded ware- houses and withdrawn for sale or consumption be- fore the 1st of July, 1872, is subject to the taxes pre- peril by the act of July 2, 1868, and that all to- bacco in bonded warehouses on the sald 1st of July “withdrawn after that date for the sane pases is subject to the tax prescribed by the act of June 1872, hada Political Influences.

SCHOEPPE The Alleged Murderer of Miss Stinecke To Have a Second Trial... a HOW HE ESCAPED THE SCAFFOLB The Will and Property the Great Difficulty. HUNTING FOR A RUSTIC JURY. The Prisoner Challenging the Twelve “ Honest Men and True.” CARLISLE, Pa., August 28, 1872, Dr. Paul Schoeppe, who, for more than three years, has been virtuaily standing upon the fatal trap of the seatrold, waiting for the noose to be ad- justed and the spring’ loosed, was to-day brought out for his second trial in the Court of Oyer and Terminer of this county for the murder by poison of Miss Maria M. Stinecke, an old maid of about seventy Summers, whose penchant for young mem advanced the young Doctor from his post of a coun- sellor at her bedside to that of an accepted lover, and, as she hoped, @ future husband, The case hae twice been before the Supreme Court of the State upon writs of error, and both times rejected, and twice the scaffold has been ready to receive ita vic~ tim and careful measures taken for the receptacle ot his remains after he should have been duly de- clared to have departed this Ife. One, his next door neighbor in the jail, gave work to THE SCAFFOLD INTENDED FOR HIM, while he heard the dull and heavy thud that ended his life, with, ad he then supposed, but a short time left him on earth before he should walk to the same, giddy height for his death fall. The united voice of the sctentific world arose in solemn protest and disclosed the chemical evidence upon which he wad convicted—a disgrace to modern science—and he was thus saved for this his second trial for life,! although two special actg of the Legislature had te be procured for that purpose. THE WISTORY OF THR CASR is about as follows:—The 27th of January, 1360, Misa’ Stinecke fell ill, and was attended by Dr, Schoeppe and Dr. Herman, and died the next evening, leav~ ing a will by which she bequeathed her property to & number of legatees and charitable objects. This will was admitted to probate. Thon came Dr.! Schoeppe with a second and later will, bequeathing her whole property to him, This was considered a suspicious circumatancé, and Dr, Schoeppe wat arrested. His trial began in May of the same zeatd ’ accompanied by a howl of popular indignation, an ‘was énded in June by VRRDION OF. GUILTY, = snsae given chiefly 4a the Pa a miohe MP he Aiken, hoeppe was sentenced to be hanged in December, but was reprieved two days before the time fixed for his execution. ' This morning the case was called at ten o'clock. The bar was woll filled with the legal talent in the district, being interested either as actors or 8} tators in this now famous case. But the populace pi to have gotton over their excitement, and the guditorium wasiilled «bean: wohl with witnesses andjurymen, At the first it was evident that the fight was to be a bitter one. Asapreliminary tothe formal opening of the case for the defence, that the deposition of an important witness beyond the jurisdiction of the Court might be readin place of requiring nis personal attendance, the prosecution at once began to fillbustor, but us lta thae! @x- tinguished by Judge Junkin, who led tiat the evidence should be admitted. LITERALLY A NEW TRIAL, ’ The trial will be literally # new one, none of the’ resent Judges having been engaged in the previous rial, the old Bench having been ousted at the clec- tion last Fall, the new trial of this cause ente: largely into-the canvass. The Judge who trie the case first was said ‘to unfriendly to Schoeppe, and, being a candidate for re-elec- tlon.was defeated principally upon this account. ThPresent Court consists of B. F. Junkin, Presi- dent, who was formerly a member of Congress from this district, and Andrew Whitmore and Robert Montgomery, associates. The opposing counsel, however, are nearly the same as on the former trial. The prosecution {s conducted by Wi F. Sadler, District Attorney, assisted by his pres decessor, C, E, McLaughlin, and W. J. Shearer. For the defence are Samuel Hepburn, his son, Samuel. Hepburn, Jr.; W. and W. H. Miller and other ked ability, That full justice mighé be meted out to the unfortunate prisoner this tim a ty tbe panel of ninety-six jurors were summones & oh aioe: and the proceedings were opened by, ie Us) : SKIRMISHING OVER THR SELECTION OF A JURY. , Twelve honest men and true are not to be found, it seems, in this age of the world without much searching. As the case was cajled the prisoner was brought in by the Deputy Sherif and Agheok hands with his-counsel with the alr of a man who has an important but not necessarily serious work on hand, He was plainly but faultlessly dressed; his step was firm, his check rosy, and his luxurian’ brown mustache and side whiskers had evidently been carefully trimmed. - Of commanding figure, * good head, clearly defined though German features: and asplendid physique, Dr. Schoeppe is a man who would commend attention anywhere, but looks no- where sommuch out of place as in the prisoner's dock, He raised his head proudiy, and one could’ but think with AN AIR OF CONSCIOUS INNOCENCR as he loooked round the assemblage and seemed ta single out his friends. As each Taror was: called and the solemn injunction was spoken, ‘“Jurora,, look on the prisoner; prisoner, look on the jurors: how say you, guilty or not Gel Aa he cast a quick,’ inquiring glance at the man, which seemed.to read him like an open book, and then turned again to, his counsel; and as an occastonal laugh at some wittictsm of counsel or stupidity of juryman dis- turbed the solemnity of the proceedings he woultt Join in with a laggh as full aud free as any, sud- denly stopping and coloring as he seemed to recol- lect his position, The course of selecting jurors’ was continued all day, EIGHT WERE ACCEPTED and a number stood aside for turther constderation. When the panel of ninety-six was exhausted tne reserve force, detained on thelr first examination, were tien called up and tho list speedily filled from. it. More than halfcalled declared theinselves op- posed to capital punishment. The jury was de- clared complete at six o’clock and the Court ad~ journed, THR JURY COMPLETE. The following is’ the panel completé:—R. F. Ane derson, farmer; Peter Zinn, laborer; John Martin, farmer; Charles Shapley, cabinetmaker; Wilson W. Clough; J Kohler, dealer; James T. Stuart, farmer; John Paul, farmer; Join 8. Hoober, farmer; Henry’ Miller, capitalist; H. Laird, blacksmith; John M., Stouffer, farmer, . To-morrow this case will begin in earnest and’ will be @ most untiring and bitter contest. Many! of the medical and chemical witnesses who part in the defence on the famous Wharton. feist, among whom are Professors Reese.and bee ys Philadelphia; Dr, E. Warren, of Baltimore, and Dr. Aiken; and as it was his testimony that convicted Schoeppe before. it is fair to presume that the pria- oner stands little danger of damage from any evi- dence he may give. The jury is not as good a one, perhaps, as was had in the Wharton and Block trials, but ft is regarded as a very fair one, The trial will probably last two weeks or more and promises add fully as much knowledge to the medico-legal science, and be as intere: ner~ ally, as any trial that has ever taken place frthis Kallistoa y. country.
