Wen Him They Will—Ruin Him They May. And vowing he would ne'er consent, consented. ‘When. the feeling of sickening disgust im the Wreasta of the old “bone-and-ainew demo- erats,” after the Baltimore Convention, had founda eome vent i the call for a National “®traight-out” Convention at Louisville, to meminate s regular candidate, whose consent to ram would impart some new strength to the waning dignity of the party, the name that was earliest Gipoussed was that of Charles O'Conor. It was spoken of, however, with the solemnity that should attend the mention of a sacrifice rather than of an exaltation, and his well-wishers and admirers in this city did not believe for a moment that the @oubtful honor would be accepted. However, the eenfidence of the Louisville leaders never abated, and they felt sure that Mr. O’Conor would consent tobe their candidate. Insignificant, unorgavized chaotic as this new movement appeared, it had ther!t, and that was of unqualified earncstness, ‘The special committee which arrived in New York this week énirusied with the weighty duty of notifying the celebrated counsellor of his nomina- on, apparently labored under besetting and mys- Yerlous diMcuities, but has now performed its mission IN SOLEMN SECRECY up to the very hour of its completion. ‘This ts one more illustration of Mr. O’Conor's eccentric taci- turnity. The promise and the charms of secrecy alone enticed him into reconsidering his first letter t the Convention, and through steps only of the most profound mystery did he at length consent to modify materially his decisive tone of refusal.

Mr. O’Conor, im hie sententions, dry manner, yet tem- | pered with an old-fashioned courtesy, responded with a positive denial. The gentiemcn then present, including the members of the committee, were Major W. ©. Moreau, of Indiana; Judge Bayard, of Delaware; Mr. Byington, of Iowa; Judge W. C. Barrett and Judge Spaulding, all of whom were downcast and almost overcome by this in- exorable reception given to their prayers, The great lawyer, however, made no qualification of his previous assertions of his position. Major Mereau, the spokesman of the party, entered into the real purpose of the meeting by addressing to Mr, O'Conor the reasons why he should not decline the nomination, and why he might confidently ex- pect to become the next President of the United States, He sald:— THR PERSUASIVE PETITION. Mr. O'Conon—The National Democratic Convention which recently assembled at Loulsville assigned to these gentlemen with myself the pleasant duty of informing Suet your unanimous nomination by that body to the ‘of Preadent of the United States. OF the many con- ntions held during the year, that one at Loulsville was 6 most remarkable. ‘fhe representatives of @ great principle which had been cruelly betrayed in the home Of its avowed advocates, its members came together pre- pared to take euch action as should forever prevent a re- the shameless treason by which the great the nation was sought to be sacri- Actuated solely by an earnest convic- dion of duty and siurdy devotion to principle, alt unused to the devious ways of the politician, their action ‘was straightforward and directed without circumiocution to the end in view.

When Major Moreau con- cluded he said in reply that the thoughts to which he had listened were of such importance that he would like to give them very grave and mature consideration before answering them at length. Accordingly the committee withdrew to their hotel again to gather fresh strength and vigor where- with to return to the siege of the citadel of Mr. O'Conor’s resolution on the morrow. MNCOURAGEMENT, The effect made upon him by their persuasive eloquence was encouraging to the committee, and they arranged for another visit, to take place on Wednesday. On this occasion all of the members mingled their logic into one battery of seductive artillery. An address was prepared for the signatures of citi- zens which urged Mr, O’Conor to place bimself before the people, and was given in charge of a deputation for circulation. This interview seemed to have the important result of shedding the first light of conviction on Mr, O’Conor's mind, and the egation retired again to the Astor House and to th virtuous repose in cheerful mood, having first regaled iseiselves before becoming wrapt in slumber with the “rogiation drink” of “Bourbon straight” at the bar, ar laa the EVENTFUL DAY. Yesterday was most eventful in the history or | this now celebrated search expedition for the éan- didate of the ‘true blue-blooded democracy.”’ From the early hour of half-past ten o'clock Mr, O’Conor became the centre of interest in New York. The Bourbon politicians of the great city re- volved about him as the centre of their destiny, and it was felt among them that the crisis of his mdecision had passed and that the end was draw- ing nigh, Promptly at his usual hour the hero of the political romance entered his office in Wall street, answered the ceremonious salaam of his white-haired clerk, who was entrenched in his oMcial dignity in the ante-room, and shut himself in his private sanctum to burrow for awhile in the labyrinth of some great case of law. MOREAU'S LAST CHARGE. At eleven o'clock @ knock was heard at the door, Mr. O'Conor lifted his head slowly and said in audible tones ‘Come in.’ Responding to this in- Vitation Colonel William ©, Moreau, entering througit. orsal which opens Gieotle from the inner Office the corridor, said a hearty good ver, morning to the lawyer and shook his han = MY.

He stood up by his desk, and his tall and upright figure, tn the simple black dress which he always wears, with his rather thin white locks and sombre complexion, afforded a picture of marked outiihes in the act of reéeiving his visitoz. “Major Moreau ipa man of ordinary stature, dressed negligently though Crna and havang @ finely-shaped head, crowned by bushy pfdwn locks, with dark, pierc- ing brown aes ‘and thick, black side whiskers. Hig manné} {8 quite polished and his conversation evinces Cuiture and ability. The conversation that ensued was long and earn- est, and dwelt mostly upon THE PLANS OF THE FUTURE CAMPAIGN, the details of which will, ere long, be made public. Mr. O°Conor washed his hands of all self agency in the matter, refusing, like the Jefferson of our his- tory, to stoop to seeking office; but, although it was not avowed, there was apparently ‘more meant than met the ear” in his cautious words, and the impression grew into an absolute certainty that he might now be considered us fiat faassen resigned himself “in the hands of his fricnds.” It would not have done, of course, for the great Spartan law expounder to step so low from his edestal of purity and soeseeey (*) as to fignily his desire to be made President of the Unite States, and this being tacitly understood the mo- mentous business of the occasion drew to a close in the most cheerful and most congratalatory spirit of congeniality. Mr. O’Conor intimated that he was preparing an elaborate definition of his political position, the substance of which he im- arted to Major Moreau. It was afterwards riteen in full for the press, in the form ofa letter :— O'CONOR’S EPISTLE OF “CONSENT.” Mn, CHAIRMAN AnD GeNTLEMEN—My Views as to the duty of resisting the Baltimore nomination coincide with those Which you have expressed. Unless their lines are kept firm aud their antagonism on some real or supposed prin- ciple consistently sustained political parties can produce no good; they are on thelr face mere factious combina- tions to delude the people and divide, as the profits of a trade, such portions of wealth as canbe wrung from them. under the forms of law. Consequently, in a country gov- erned by parties, an avowed coalition of elements, betore, deeply and vitally antagonistical, for the mere purpose of carrying an election, is not honorable. The participants initpart with thelr regard for decorum: and it is fa- miliar knowledge that this is the reilance against dishonest action after virtue and public spirit are extinct. Undoubtedly in all things there are degrocs; and, in’ imaginable instances, there may be wide tolera: tion. Indecd, J am quite prepared to say that there are @ lure number of eminent men in the republican party who might well have aspired to the Presidency, and whore acceptance as candidates at Baltimore. would not have been unjustifiable. The nomiuation which was, in fact, made, is utterly so.

OBITUARY. cao eeemeet Archduke Albrecht of Austria. His Imperia) Fighness Albrecht Friedrich Rudolph, of Hapsburg, Prince Archduke of Austria, died in Vienna on the 1ith inet. He was born in the Austrian capital on the sd of August, in the year 1817, and expired in the same city, in the Sfty-fifth year of his age. ‘The Archduke Albrecht was one of the most famous and successful commanders of the Austrian aruues in modern times—the only one in fact, alter Radetzky, under whose lead the banners of hie family and dynasty have been of -tate carried to victory on the fleld of battle. At the moment of his death he held the commissions of Field Marshal ofthe Austro-Hungarian Empire, Inspector Gen- eral of the army of Austria, commander of the Forty-fourth regiment of infantry, chief of the Fifth regiment of Lithuanian Laneers (Russian) and colonel of the Third regiment of infantry (Prussian). He merried in the month of May, 1944, the Archduchess Hildegarde, Louise Charlotte Theresa Frederika, who was born on the 10th of | June, 1825, daughter of King Louls of Bavaria, and who died in the year 1864, The deceased Arch- duke was son of the Archduke Charles, Austria’s most celebrated general, who vanquished Napo- leon the First at Aspern, and whom the latter feared, it has been said, more than any of the other distinguished captains of his period. The General caused his son to be carefuily educated; | and when he saw that the boy displayed extra- ordinary mathematical talents, he himself in- structed him in the art of war. When the youth- ful soldier, Albrecht, had completed his military studies, in 1840, he pare @ brilliant examination and was appointed @ brigadier general in the army of Austria, He was not long in familiarizing himscif with the intricate organ- {zation of the Austrian army, and rendered such galuable services in perfecting it and in abol- | ishing abuses that his promotion was extraordi- narily rapid. In the year 1843 he was appointed Field Marshal Lieutenant; two years afterwards the rank of General of Cavalry was conferred upon him, In the early days of Marel, 1848—dark days for the imperial crown—he was in command of the military force stationed in Vienna, When the rev- olution broke out he tried energetic measures for its suppression; but the movement was too strong even for the host he had at his command. The im- erial government yielded to the revolutionary de, Metternich was exiled and Archduke Albrecht was removed from his command. He was sent to fItaly, where he served as sec- ond in command under Field Marshal Radetzky. During the progress of the Austrian campaign against bat Ra ating Albert—father of Victor Em- manuel—of Sardinia, in 1849, the Archduke Albrecht. distinguished himself repeatedly, The brilliant passage ofthe Ticino was effected under his per- Sonal direction. Still more meritorious was his conduct of the battle of Novar. To the great vic- tory that was achieved on that memorable day, when the whole Italian ari was routed, no one contributed more materially than the Archduke Al- brecht. He returned to Vienna with the reputa- tion of being one of the first army commanders in Europe, Paring she following years he was Milt- tary Governor layence, and afterwards cH il and Military Governor of Hungary, ein tuatte to effect a reconcillation between the Bach Minis- try and the Magyar aristocracy, he withdrew from active service and lived for a time on his estates, | In 1859 he was sent on a diplomatic mis- sion to Berlin, but reiutned without having accomplished any hing: At the breaking out of tho war of 1866 he was placed in command of the army which Austria had concen- trated in the Italian quadrilateral. He held then the rank of Field Marshal, and was exceedingly popular among his troops. More energetic and rapid in his movements than General Marshal Benedek, he attacked the Italian army under La Marmora at Custozza, on the g4th of June, ang de- cisively defeated it, despite the resistance of the Italians, But for the pepsi of Moltke’s move- ments in Bohemia and the overwhelming discom- fiture of the Austrian army under Benedek, this success at Custozza, might have enabled Aus- tria to send 100,000 of her best troops against the Prussians, and the war of 1866 might have taken a different course of tide. Since 1866 the Archduke Albrecht lived mostly in retirement. He sympa- thized with the reactionary party in Austria, Whose main pillar he was—next to the Archduchess Sophia, He wasa bitter adversary of Count Von Beust. : 23 eri ‘ Right Rev.

Henry Hogeboom. Henry Hogeboom, Justice of the Supreme Court of the State of New York, died at bis residence in Hudson, N. Y., yesterday morning. He was in the sixty-fourth year of his age. A very active career, professional as a lawyer and jurist, and more pub- lic as a politician, closed when he breathed his last. He graduated at Yale College in 1827 with high honors, and, in turn, held the offices of County Judge, Master in Chancery and member of the As- sembly, and had been a Justice of the Supreme Conrt Since 1858, He wasa man of marked ability and commanded respect. He was @ candidate before the Democratic Judicial Convention held at Albany on. the 16th day of September, 856, for the nomination of Justice of the Supreme Court. The Convention assem- bled and proceedcd to business, and on the first ballot for candidate for the long term Rufus W. Peckham, of Albany, received almost the en- tire vote. The Convention then proceeded to ballot for a candidate for the short term, Theodore Mil- ler received seven votes, Danforth K, Olney re- cetyed six and Henry Hogeboom two. On the last and final baliot Olney received eight votes, Miller seven, Hogeboom none. Mr. Olney was declared nominated and Henry Hogeboom beaten. Very soon afterwards Mr. Hogeboom was a candidate before the American Convention (held in Albany), for the nomination of Justice of the Supreme Court and he received it. He had been a candidate for public office, of more or Jess importance, from the year 1836, when he ran for the position of Sur- rogate and was beaten. Rosamunds Pisaroni. This great contralto died last month at Plaisance at the age of seventy-nine years, She was born in France, educated in Italy, and made her début at Bergamo in 1811a8a high soprano, but lost her upper notes during @ severe illness at Parma in 1813—smallpox—which greatly disfigured her. She then took to the contralto register. Meyerbeer, who in 1818 was travelling in Italy, heard her, and composed “Romilda e Costanza” expressly for her at Padua, At the San Carlo, in Naples, she sang in Rossini’s “Ricciardo e Zoratde’; and Merca- dante wrote “Lodoiska” for her in 1819. It was in October of that year bs she created a furor by her Malcolm, in seins “Donna del Lago.” Meyerbeer are wrote for her “LEsule i =©6.Granada” for Milan, in 1622, Lablache being included in the cast. In 1828 she sang in Rome and Lucca. At the last- mentioned city Pacini Sonn 1d ‘‘Temistocle” for her and Signora Tacchinardi (afterwards Madame Persian). ler next, eogagemen were at Bologna and Milan. It was at the Scala that she electrified her audiences in 1825 by her Arsace in “Semiramide."’ After being at Genoa, Leghorn, Florence and Rome Madame Plsaroni went to Parts in 1827, making her début as Arsace. Paris Pisaroni sang with Pasta, Malibran and Sontag. In 1820 Pisaroni went to London, and in the King’s Theatre, uncer the late Laporte's direction, made her début as Maicolm in the “Donna del L ’ Signor Donzelli (who ts still living at Bologna), being the Roderick Dhu. Despite her physical defects she brought down the nouse; her vi ‘was not what it had been in Italy and ia France, but the genius of the artiste was supreme.

She rapeequentiy plazed Arsace, first to the Semiramide of Sontag next to that of Malibran. Pisaroni returned to Paris and Milan in 1830, but quitted the lyric stage in 1836, Turin being the last theatre where she appeared. She was a great artiste in every sense of the word— histrionically as well as } there was a gran- deur and breadth of style, which always com- manded the attention and enlisted the sympathies of her hearers.

TOUCH NOT THE ANCIENT CREEK Indignation Meetings Held and Injunc- tiens Applied For. PE nd THE BAY MOST NOT BE DRAINED. 0 What the People Say and What the Marsh Land Company Says. of Finshing, on “Long Island's sea- girt shore,” has long maintained the reputation of being one of the most beautiful of the many snug retreats which border upon the waters of the Sound. Its situation is a peculiarly attractive one. Lying at the mouth of a natural bay, it has a water front several miles in extent, while in the rear a rich and fertile country supplies it with all the ne- cessartes of life. On a beautiful summer's day nothing can be more charming than the river from the hill north of the village. In front can be seen the pretty little town of Newtown, its cottages half hidden by the dense foliage of the surrounding trees. To the cast stretches the waters of the bay opening into the Sound, on which can be scen THE WHITE SAILS of innumerable stoops, looking in the distance like flocks of sea birds on a pleagure trip. Iu the same «direction Coliege Point and Whitestone are visible, near which some dozen schooners are always an- chored, while the rows of white villas on the bill tops look down like sentinels of the deep. At in- tervals the bay is dottea with islands, which are thickly covered with trees, and so dense is the Growth of the underwood that it is almost impos- sible to penetrate from one aide to the other. The Prospect west of Flushing is not so attractive, the land being boggy and marshy, a condition which it is supposed to have adhered to since the days of the deluge, when “earth was young.” ‘The village has a population of abont five thou- sand and the township of twelve thousand, the in- habitants being both PROSPEROUS AND THRIFTY, The residences {t contains are comfortable and neat, and a number of very good stores can be seen in the principal streets. A great many business men of this city reside in Flushing. which they can easily do, a5 trains run each way every half hour, The streets are clean and well paved, and the whole appearance of the village rerginds you that you are in the mmediate proximity of a large and populous city, From tine immemorial peace has held possession of this Long Island paradise, and nothing has ever occurred up to the present to disturb the tranquil- lity of the population or divert them from the even tenor of their ways. From generation to generation the Flushingites have married and been given in Marriage, have come into the world with rejoicing and gone out with moarning, their lives common- lace and happy, unruttied save by the ordinary ls to which all mankind is heir, But, alas, for phe diytability of all things human! the long repose has been rudely cisturbed; a serpent in the shape of A DRAINAGE GOMPAN’ has come upon the scene, and, by a proposal to ré- claim the waste land, has caused consternation and commotion where all had been previously har- mony and contentment. Rich as Flushing in natoral beauties her greatest glory is her creek—a narrow stream about eight feet in depth, navigable for canal boats, col- liers and light schooners, Here in the busy season Milght be seen strangers from Maine, barbarians from Sag Hurvor end picturesque aayages trom Connecucut busily engaged in the work of unload- ! ing iumber, coal and brick, the staple commodities which constitute the commerce Of the port. At | low water mark the vessels would be left high and dry, and even at bigh water navigation was diffi- cult; but, ‘tell it not in Gath,” the proposal of the “Marsh Land Company” would lower the water in the creek several feet, provent any more vessels from entering, render the docks useless aud place tushing in the situation of an inland town. Atthe first action of the company the WONDERING LONG ISLANDERS could not think that such indignity was possible in a civilized age or land; but when the dyke for draining the bay was placed under course of con- struction, when the workmen arrived on the ground, they said, “it is enough; our beloved creek is in danger; Navigation wil be destroyed.” Men of Flushing! by the memory of your sires and the great tujngs they did for the creek, arise to the rescue! ‘They arose; but before narrating what steps they took ‘it may be as well to state what the Marsh Land Company, which has caused all the excite- ment, really is and what it proposed to do. It ‘was created in 1368 by a special act. of the Legisla- ture, Which has stuce been several times amended, for the purposes of reclaiming the waste and marshy Jaud on the shores of Staten Island and Long Island—part of the land reclaimed to become the property of the company, and the owners of other parts which would be improved to be taxed for the expenses of the work. The company com- rises such men as A. Packer, Henry Ciews, 8. riggs, Robert Sewell and J. W. Hughes and repr sents a very large capital, By an amendment to the act the company 13 EXPRESSLY PROMIBITED from interfering with the navigation of any p ste and ifthe water near a port be jessened in depth they ure to dig the channel go as to restore it to its original condition, For some reason or other work has been delayed, and it was not until afew weeks ago that active operations were commenced, The first job unaer- taken was the construction of a dyke froma point in Newtown toa point in Flushing, which would have the effect of taking away @ hundred acres of the bay, and would directly cross the entrance to the famous creek, On a memorable day the workmen arrived on the ground, No intimation was given to the people around of what was in the wind. The first logs were driven before the in- habitants received intimation; and when the en- gineer who had charge of the works was asked by what authority he was proceed a he answered by the authority of the people of the State of New York. Newtown became alarmed for its water; Fiushing became profoundly agitated; there was “GALLOPING IN HOT HASTE” from village to village, councils of war were hu riedly called, and the Marah Land Company occ’ pied undivided attention, to the utter exclusion of Grant and Greeley, Threats and me: 8 Were sent to the workmen to desist, and dire vengeance was threatened against them should they continae, but all to no purpose. The number of workmen in- creased, the loge were more swiftly driven, and tue work went steadily on. In the first flush of excitement it was thought both villages would be com; otely Tuined; but the more sensible portion of the people, when they came to examine the allair more closely, came to the conclusion that affairs were not so serious as at frat supposed, and that there was a chance for the creek alter all, PAG the company made good its promises. ‘These promises were that the creek, which was four miles in length, the company would deepen and fully indemnify the owners of property which might be damaged thereby. ‘This proposition was looked upon with favor by some; but others held “that fair words butter 00 parsaips,” and that it would never do to leave THER COMMERCE OF FLUSHING to the tender mercy of @ corporation of strangers. lt Flushing was to be saved it would be by united patriotic action, and all citizens were en- Joined to be up and doing for the good cause. Ac- cordingly a jot meeting of the inhabitants of the two villages was held, and it was resolved to em- loy counsel and apply for an injanetion, This wae Sones but here another obstacle arose, it being dis- covered that the injunction must be obtained by private citizens. Matters remained in this unsatisfactory state for @ fow days, during which the company continued to delve aud dig. But these encroachments could not last much longer without determined opposi- tion; and on Saturday eveniug the long pent-up in- dignation of Flushing found expression in meeting, which was held in the Town Hall, and at. which the wealth, the they Acamaie and the intel- lect of the two Villages were fally represented. Samuel B. Parsons was chosen chairman, and a gentleman bearing THE HISTORIC NAME OF CHARLES LEVER, Secretary, and then came the tug of war. The sentiment of all present was unanimous against the action of the Marsh Company, end no faith was attached to the promises they they, strangers to the yilege, venture to interfere with the ancient creek? Not even the following let- ter from the Office of the company tended to allay the excitement :— Omir ue cere} Mesars. Buoopaoon.

The CHammuan, after the letter had been read,’ sald matters were worse than he thought, as tha company proposed to keep the water in the creek at uniform level low water, not at low tide, The company might think it was conferring a benefit om the town of Flushing. The inhabitants thought differently, and the thing would not be permitted without a determined fight being made about it. What caused the deepest indignation was the pro- posal to erect a lock. The creek had never had oc-| casion for any obstacle of the kind, and vessela Would not come to Flushing if one was erected, and unless the company would enter into bonds to deepen the creck, and not IMPEDE OR IN ANY WAY INTERYERE ‘ with the navigation, no proposition they would make ae be ligtened to, » Couuixs, the engineer of the company, whe present, here rose and gave some additional explanations of the manner in which the work would be conducted, concluding by inviting a com- mittee from the meeting to come down to the office of the gompeny and confer with the directors, whem full and satisfactory assurance would be given that, no obstacles would be given to the navigation. The committee was appointed, and another one wad appointed in addition to raise the money to. beat’ the expenses of the case im Court, as It was deter- mined that the injunctio ould be taken ous in any case. The meeting broke up amid great en- thusiasm for the creek. A HERALD reporter visited Flushing yesterany’ and found that the action of the meeting has in no way allayed the excitement. Mr. Robert E, Peck,, one of the committee on raising expenses, states that the feeling so bad that many would no forpple Go blow up the works rather than allow tha water to be cnt of from the creek. He places no} reliance upon the promises of the company, and {# of opinion that if they carry on their work to com-) pletion the navigation of Fiushing would be com- pletely ruined. He thinks if the land could be dramed without Interference with the creek @ rng benefit would be cunterred upon the village. Until the question is satisfactorily settled ther will be no peace with the village, and the value oi real estate will be greatly depreciated. The oficers of the company make light of fears of the villagers, asserting that they have not the slightest idea of interfering with the nav! tion to its detriment, but think, on the contrary, 1? WILL BE GREATLY BENEFITED, ; and, in addition, that the health of the district will, be wonderfully Improved. As owners of consider- able property, near one thousand acres, in the i = cinity, they claim that it would not be for thei own Interest to in any way lessen the value of real estate, and the dra! ag of the bay is the bes to enhance that value, stands the case at pres- ent, and whether “Long Island's charming green’? is to be leit in quiet possession of her creek on thrown high and dry upon the mainland ts a question which as yet cannot be determined. ni tw : us Arrival of Carlotta Patti. The steamship Washington, of the French line, brought to our shores yesterday the favorite child of song, Carlotta Patti, and a number of dis- tinguished artists less known to the Americar public, who are to appear in the concerts at Steinway Hall. Among others Theresa Carrefia and Emile Sauret, They are all in excellent health and spirits, and are ready to delight the musical public at the shortest notice. Mr. Strakosch, the enterprising manager who had gathered this bouquet of artists, in which tha choicest flowers are Mario, Patti and Carrefio, deserves the approbation of the lovers of good music, It will certainly be a treat to listen to Mario after an absence of so many years, and find that his voice still retains 80 much of ite wonderful power and richness, All Strakosch’s company are now on hand, with the exception of Mi Cary,, who may be looked for at any moment. The le. of tickets for the Mario-Patti concerts will begin’ to-day, and we predict such a rush as has not been witnessed for some time, on account of the Inter- est in the company felt by the musical world, Foreign Gossip.
