GREELEY'S PROGRESS. Another Day of Speeches, Enthu- siasm and Excitement, Very Severe on Peripatetic Office-Hold- ing Stump Orators. More About the ‘Dreadful Condi- tion of the South. ILL BE HOME ON SATURDAY. SuNBURY, 1a., Sept. 26, 1872, Mr. Grecley and Governor Walker rested at the residence of Mr. Myron Walters at Warren, Pa., }jast evening, having been escorted there by the Greeley Club at half-past ten o’clock at night. It was, of course, too late to make a specch, and the hour for the CUSTOMARY LIRATION in honor of reconciliation, purification and restora- Uon was fixed for nine o'clock this morning. The Place selected forthe pouring out thereof was the }Stone steps of the Carver House, the only hotel of any use in the town, at which, although tt ‘was aGrant house, the distinguished Hberal was tendered every courtesy. The Greeley Club came down 200 strong, with music and banners and Portraits of the Sage. At the appointed hour, and in the presence of an assemblage of about a thou- wand people and with half a dozen duplications of his own benevolent countenance faunting before Dis eyes, the happy orator, {The cfowd whom he addressed listened with un- felgned interest to this statement of the transac- tions of his life upon which opponents hang 60 much odium, They were evidently seriously im- pressed. Jt is observable that it is not the most enthusiastic crowds who pay him the closest atten- | tion. In the town of Warren, for instance, where | the county gives a republican majority of 800, there ‘was not the gushing enthusiasm that was to be ob- served in more democratic localities; but there was an earnest attention, a respectful eagerness to hear, that impressed itself upon the Philosopher at once, and consequently his speech was an earnest and impressive one. There were doubtless MANY GRANT MEN among his hearers, who came to see and to hear the old sorehead, and who went away thinking there was a great deal in the old man’s talk after ail. The interruptions in the crowd and the happy replies of the Sage were somewhat remarkable. In the midst of his description of Arkansas and the oppression in the South a voice in the crowd cried, “How about Jeff Davis?” Mr. Greeley continued his strain for about three minutes longer, finishing up that part of his discourse, and then leaning forward he said quietly, “As for Jeff Davis, pow I will answer this gentleman's question.” “Never mind him,” said the crowd, “he is ‘BR Grant man anyhow.” “I will answer his ques- tion, friend,” said the Sage, gladly. “I waut to say Bomething about this Jeff Davis matter anyhow,” Bnd then he entered upon the beautiful vindication pf that noble act of charity which is given in the Speech above, This was toa crowd that was seek- ing for information, not for gas, and they evidently were supplied; for, without hurrahing very vocifer- Ously over the Sage when he departed, they saw him respeetfully to the depot and went away them- ives somewhat engaged in thought. At another point, Tionesta, where all was cheers and enthu- Flasm, the Philosopher spoke as follows :— Lapis np Gentiemen—In travelling through Penn- pyivania, Ohioand Indiana T have been greatly surprised Bt the enthusiasm, the heartiness and the resolution hich I found in the ople hain Imet. At Pittsburg, Kincinnati, Indianapolis and Cleveland I have seen reater gatherings than ever before on any occasion like ry and not ony in these cities, but in towns ,000 and of 5,000 inhabitants I have been met by im- mense gatherings of the people, and everywhere hearti- peas, everywhere zeal aud everywhere the opposite f doubt or distrust. I tell vou, friends, the States of Ohio and Indiana will have to be bought i bey, are to be car- ied by the supporters of the President in the elections at hand, and I don't think either Ohio or Indiana can be ght. (Applause.) I cannot judge 80 well of the sentiments of Pennsyl- vania, but what I ve seen Of it surprises me with ‘the assurance that the election of alew is a fixed fact. (Great applause.) We have large republican foreign force In each county, ana should judge, from what [have seen, they coinprise a uarter or Atl eighth of the whole republiean rty in this State, The democrats are solid and hearty, s they should be, for Mr. Buckalew. (Cheers) Tbe! jieve that Mr, Buckalew will be Governor, and that the jute letters of Governor Curtin are working on the public pind in such a way that your triumph in October will decided enough to leave no doubt of the result in No- vember. (Groat applause.) The train arrived at Williamsport at a few minutes past five, among a people utterly be- wildered by the uncertain arrangements which Sovernor Walker and Sam Randall between them had succeeded in mixing, some of them expecting the guest at six o'clock, others having given him up at ten in the morning, and the whole population | groping about in A HELPLESS MUDDLE os to his movements generally. To add to the con- fusion a despatch was also received here from Sam Randall announcing that a train load of people had been waiting in Northumberland since early in the Frorning to see and hear the champion. This junder, which is one of a series somethin, ike itever since we left Erie, had the effect o: leaving the Sage without the enthusiastic crowd that usually meets him, and he walked into the hotel like an ordinary visitor. Among the first Acquaintances he met on entering was Walter, Harriman, _ex-General and ex-Goy- ernor * of New Hampshire and present ‘aval Officer of Boston, who was there on campaign usiness for the administration. This gentleman took supper in the general dining room with the ey party, but not at the Greeley table. He concluded his supper ina hurry in order to hear Mr. Greeiey’s speech, which was delivered to a crowd on the lawn from the steps of the porch. There were probably 1,200 people present. It will be scen from the report that Harriman, who was Williamsport to make a Grant speech, was NOT SO MUCH ENTERTAINED ‘aa he might have been. Mr, Greeley started at once into the subject of oMce-holders stamping the States. He has evidently got his mad up over the continua! shadowing of lim by the high peripatetic oMicials of the government. Mr. Greeley commenced his speech by calling attention to the administration, Cabinet Ministers ami office:ho ers running aud racing from one end of the country tothe other to persuade the people to keep them in office, aud paid :—1 think that is something to which the people ght not to be reconciled. Then, of course, “like master Pike man,” the. whole body ot oMce holders, Atty to feventy thousand men—generally abie, influential men— are devoting their time and talents to re-electing their periors to office, and thereby Keeping themselves in lace, I venture to say that, since the frat day of May last, federal office-holdérs have done more work and de- ‘voted more attention to tei g their places than they have to doing their dyty—all of them enormously taxed ‘and their energies employed to sustain this machine of wer, and then running and racing over the untry, giving up to party service an preaidenitia re-glecti n the ‘time G the people, tor which the p nelong to id Ghd of which the. people ought to have the & fe.

At the conclusion, amid great cheering, r. Greeley returned to the tr bound tor North- Punberiand ; but, as an additional instance of THE RUDDERLESS CONDITION of the ship, when we reached that point, it was @iscovered that he was wanted in Sunbury, two miles distant, where a great Greeley meeting was in with General Banks and General Slocum Principal speake: On arrival at Sunbury at pine o'clock a crowd of very ordinary proportions Awaited the Philosopher, the uncertainty of his poming having operaied here, as at Northumbe land, to rend away most of hls friends and to per- wade curious Grant men to attend the Grant meet- iz at the Court House rather than loiter around ihe depot. He arrived, however, was conducted to the piace of meeting, wnere about five handred poe were assembled, and there delivered the lollowing specch :— Feuiow Osriaens—You will not expect me at this hour NEW YORK HERALD, Bmereerree ton! tered wes Geecab tens chet td le ak ae : n m with two the eminent our great merals LA str 1 of enerals of ti inion armies u rmies In the pay et eaatiahaan Hhe we are ean ith thar kot great struggia are Amo mies, and the réadiest to give generous and magnani mous terms to thane they, loyercowe. sie mater Spa lery pi ene two armies to settle T be. oid ‘have been paciled and reunited ‘say that those soldiers—the men who fought r in ipat arent struggle—learned, if $ S aid | not | aire now it, to edt Gael other. believe at the soldiers of the Union army, when they had finished their war. went home with 10 bitterness in the! ris toward the great mass of thos who struggled against them and with respect for their ailantry, their soldiership and thelr courage. 1 think {hat wal “true or the great, ody” of” thowe who made up the Umon army.

Well, fellow citizen you testify with me that this great movement must an will go forward—(three cheers)—you agree with me that if great peril should ever overtake our country, and no nation ever knows how soon or from what quarter peril may be encountered, that we should be glad to have on our side sustaining our country and our flag the men who, fo against us so desperately in that last struggle. We have them; we should trust them I venture to say as among the ‘best Union men after their sad experience ; the men who could not be tempted again to desert the flag of thelr country. | (Cheers) They realize that it is a different thing fighting under that flag and against it. I know there were thousands among them, who, in the midst of that great struggle, when’ they ‘caine to look up at the fag of | the “Union | felt sad to think they were not fighting with that flag over their heds rather than flaunting angrily before them. They were dragged into the thing, which T always thought was hot sanctioned by the deliberate judgment of the South- ern people, It was a conspiracy’ of fraud and violence.

SCHURZ IN PENNSYLVANIA, te Arrival of the Great German at Potts- ville—His Enthusiastic Reception—His Speech Against the Administration— The Old Charges Repeated—Specch of Colonel McClure. POTTSVILLE, Pa., Sept. 26, 1872. Pottsville was this evening brilliantly illuminated in honor of the visit of Carl Schurz, Colonel McClure and others, who were escorted from Reading by a large delegation from the Democratic County Com- mittee, headed by ex-Congressman Strouse. They were met at the depot by a large crowd, who re- ceived the orators with great enthusiasm. The place of meeting was East Norwegian street—a wide, open street, near the railroad. At eight o'clock the space in front of the platform, which was erected in front of the Standard office, was covered by a crowd of about five thousand people. The speakers, on taking their places on the piat- form, were enthustastically received. The ra{lroad depot and the houses m the immediate neighbor- hood were lighted up with rows of Chinese lanterns, which were suspended across the street, and a torcblight procession was formes and paraded pre- vious to the organization of the meetiug. CARL SCHURZ was the first speaker introduced by the Chairman, | and created quite a sensation among the crowd, siinply come to give you a cheerin assure you that all the on lober has settled tion of the community, many of whom saw him for the first time, and were demonstrative to a great degree. As the speaker went on with his speech the crowd increased very considerably until many were prevented from reaching within an audible distance, Schurz was tremendously funny. His picture of carpet-bagism was received with up- roarious applause, the whole audience breaking into prolonged laughter. The St. Domingo Scheme was dilated upon by the Senator with vehemence and fervor. ‘The fact that the President employed the war vessels, the sailors, the ammu- nition, the ing the blacks on that island in direct opposition to the laws of the country vesting that power only in Congress, showed that he wonld scarcely hesitate to plunge the country intow: bloody war if an oc- casion Were presented. This matter appeared to be discussed to the entire satisfaction the crowd, who kept up the applause continuously. McClure answered a fhree-column article in one of the local jourvals here charging him with villany of the worst description, At ten o'clock it com- menced raining and his speech was completed in Union Hall, : THE COLORED VOTE IN THE PRESIDENTIAL CONTEST, William H.

He reports the receipt of large numbers of charming letters from all parts of the country, and it seems as if the “andercurrent’’ about which so much has been written is again rising in favor of Greeley, It 1s ex- | pected that the various liberal clubs of the city will assemble and give a grand reception to the Sage on his return from the West.

The Committee on Organization of the Tammany Hall General Committee met last evening in Tam- many Hall, Mr. John Kelly in the chair.

The Political Strife Between the Spanish and Creole Partios—The Island in a Ferment— Terrible Hurricane and Loss of Vessels. HAVANA, Sept. 21, 1872, The news received from Porto Rico by the Spanish mail steamer proves the agitated state of affairs on that island. ‘whe election for deputies to the National Cortes in that island resulted in a complete triumph of the radical party, consisting of creoles, and the conservative Spaniards, or uncon- ditional Spaniards, as they style themselves, are chafing under their defeat. They are highly in- censed against the natives, and a letter cated the 14th states that affairs in the island are in acritical condition, and although apparent quiet reigns, which deceives many of the innocent, the situation is terrible and alarming. The following paragraph is from a letter published in the Diario this morn- ing :—The state of aifairs in this island is becoming complicated, Betance, it is positively known, has beenin the bay of this capital on boara of a foreign vessel and willland at Cape Rajo, and by the mail steamer Don Ramon Baldarioti de Castro has just arrived, These two men of action belong- ing to the reformist (creole) party, and who were implicated in the rising at Lares, are not likely to have returned to Porto Rico without some sinister object, and it may be assured that we are reposing over @ volcano, Such of us as have read the history of the independence of St. Do- mingo, who have lived there several years and who have heard repeatedly what happened with General Real, are afraid that the same events may happen here; for although itis true that the valiant army the volunteers here are tn favor of Spain, never- ess as they (the creoles) hold the power and can arrange affairs 80 well they may not even give us a chance to sell our lives dearly, The Gazette dally publishes decrees of removals of municipal judges and clerks; that of the 14th contains eighteen of these decrees of removals, and those appointed in their stead are not distinguished for their love to Spain, AN OBNOXIOUS ENVOY. The Boletin Mercanttl (Spanish SreAD) of Porto Rico, calis the attention of the Madrid government to the appointment of Don José Antonto Alvarez Peralta as the Spanish Chargé d’Atffatres for Vene- wuela, And requests that some other person may be appointed in that capacity, as he will be unable ofiice in a manner satis- factory to the Spanish party of Cuba and Porto Rico, “It appears that some years ago Peralta was deposed ot his position as director of ® school and expelled from the town of Cabo- Rojo by orders of General Pezuela, Captain General, atthe time, of the island, for having signed the manifesto which the greater part of the Spanish press qualified as filibuster, Added to this fact, the calogiums made upon Peralta by the Opinion Na- cional, of Caracas, a paper decidedly hostile to Spain, and by the Lone Star, in its first number, of which the disloyal Cuban, Alfredo de Morales, was the editor, all tend to raise suspicions in the minds of the Spanish party. The Holetin also states that Son the situation of the — island during he recent electoral period and since, the new under authorities seem to have commenced a most odious persecution against the unconditional Spaniards. The same pares winds up by stating that now at Poulta, instead of the fraternal good feeling which for- merly existed between insulares and peninsulares, there is the greatest hatred and feeling for ven- geance apparent.

The tug came to Buffalo supposing that the barge would cast anchor, This morning the latter was found a total wreck. The cargo and vessel were valued at $36,000 and were insured. Phis.

One of the most thrilling tragédies which have ever taken piace in this country occurred last even- ing at half-past nine o'clock on Jersey City Heights, formerly cailed Hudson City. It is reached in twenty minutes by car from Hoboken. It appears that Johnny, the young son of Michel Gehring, a boarding house keeper, happened to be in bed with his mother when his father came into the room and dragged her, with the threat of murdering her, into the parlor, where he commenced slashing away at her head with a large butcher's knife. The first blow he struck Was across the temple, causing the blood to spurt over her face and blinding her. The next blow was a frightiul stab in the chest, about four inches long, and from the ragged character of the wound it appears as if the monster had worked the knife around after he had plunged it into her body, When help came she was found lying prostrate across the doorway communicating with the bed- room and the sitting room, breathing her last sigh, The boy meanwhile was running out in the street in his night shirt, searching for help, and | found, after some time, OMcer McDowell, who ac- companied bim to the house, Rushing up the steps, the murderer, Michel Gelr- ing, was seen calmly walking out of the back room or kitchen with a terrific gash across his throat from which the blood was pouring | in torrents, and his whole clothing, from neck to feet, was A MASS OF COAGULATED GORE, The alarm was soon given and the neighbors, | | | | | | | fromfar and near, came to the house ac- companied by Drs, Freeman and _ Berglip, who did all they could to stanch the gaping wound; the dying man essayed now and again to spon but the gurgling of blood in his throat made it Impossible. Efiorts were made by the doctors, aided by OMicers McDowell, Cooper and Bucker and Sergeant Van Buskirk and by ex- Justice Voilhardt and Mr, Peter Beck, to hold the writhing man quiet on his back, so that his throat could be sewn up, but he struggled so violently sone Was found impossible. Every few moments, wit THE PRENZY OF A DYING MAN, he would epting up from the floor and endeavor to five, utterancé to some thought. The struggle sted tor a full hour—namely, from half-past uine to half-past ten—when cy i WRETCHED MURDERER AND SUICIDE, after giving a plteous look around at those who had been engaged in the task of holding him down, threw back his head with a convulsive shudder, as if weary of the struggle, and all that was mortal of Michei Gehring had ceased to exist. A SHAMBLES SCENE, The scene in the narrow room beggars descrip- tion, The police oMcers and others in assistance marched almost heel-deep in blood, Bucket after bucket of fresh water was brought in every few moments, and which soon left the room of a scarlet tint, impregnated with blood from the sponging of the dying man’s threat. On a common table, lager beer glass wurtially filled, some ham and bread, and in the middle of all stood, brightly burning, @ large parafine lamp, which threw its bright rays over the fearful scene. The room is about ten feet square, and neatly but plainly furnished, In the rear stands an extension used as a kitchen, and here Gehring had cut his throat, AS A TRAIL OF BLOOD clearly showed, and it was from this room that Otticer McDowell saw him advancing when he entered the house. The front room, where the murder of the unfortunate wife commenced, bore signs of the struggle which had taken place, chairs being upset and blood being visible in several places, Her death was, it is surmised, almost in- stantaneous. The body was covered with a loose garment, and will remain floating in its gore, under the charge of the police, until this morning, when the Coroner will commence an investigation. SIDE BY SIDE IN DEATH. The body of Gehring was allowed to remain, with its staring gash in the throat, on the floor where he breathed his last, in a pool of blood, also to await the Coroner’s investigation. A few hours previous to his death Gehring had a ame at cards at a grocery store opnosite his house, kept by Henry Lotfel, in New York avenue, hear Franklin street. It was remarked by several friends that he seemed moody and despondent, and repeated at short intervals that he was tired of hoarding house keeping, and would like to have a small farm where he could be out of doors a good deal and rid of old “‘Hese,’’ or witch, as he called his wife, HIS HISTORY, Twenty-two years ago he and his wife emigrated to this country from Wiesloch, in Baden, and es- tablished themselves in Greenwich street, where he worked as a laborer in @ sugar refinery. Nine years ago he came to Hudson City, where he pur- | ased the house he died in, which is a two stor, frame building, and the lot on which it stood, week ago he returned from the country, where he had been engaged in making cider, and since then | he has occupied his time In repainting his house, DOMESTIC INFELICITY.

Carl Ithen, a saloon keeper in the neighborhood, says “that she drank pitchers to his glasses,” andit | is probable that he {s well informed on the subject. Opinion in the netghborhood varies as to their rela- | tive demerits, but it is positive that they have alway been known asa quarrelling couple.

J., Known as the Jug Mountain Tunnel, was the scene of a bloody riot last Sunday morning. A quarrel occurred between the Irish and negro laborers employed on the road, the result of which was that Thomas Call, an Irishman, and three negroes, named Powell, Bruce and Deshman, were killed, Up to the present it has been found impos- sible to ascertain the origin of the riot. From all the facts gathered in the case, however, it would appear that, ina dispute between the Irish and the negro laborers, Call was killed, and his countrymen, to avenge his death. fell upon the negroes Who came in their way. The manner in which they carried out their revenge shows that their blood-thirsty spirit knew no bounds. They pursued the negroes in every direction and at- tacked the house of Mrs. Carter, where it was sup- posed some of the obnoxious individuals had taken refuge. That lady stoutly refused to give them admittance, even under threats that her house would be burned down. Deshman was found crouching in a porch and was shot and clubbed to death, A negro who had fed with him crawled up toa hen roost and remained undiscovered by his pursuers, Tne fury of the mob was simply terrible at this time, The negroes fled from the vicinity in terror,’ and their shanties were burned down. Work was suspended on the railroad and a reign of teyfor prevalled ever since, which made it almost imposst- ble for the authorities to bring the mob to bay, No one In the district would give any information save Mrs. Carter, Mr. Van Syckel and a few colored men, lest the fury of the rabble would be directed against them, Couriers were despatched to Flemington, the county seat of Hunterdon, and Sheriff Rittenhouse promptly responded to the call. The following persons’ were arrested and held for examination:—Charley Yates (colored), Patrick Daley, Patrick McCoy, Hugh Casserly and Bernard McFadden, The deputies Sppolned by the Sherif were under the influence ol intimidation by the mob to such an extent that they would not make any further arrests, and it was at length resolyed to appeal to Governor Par. ker, who telegraphed to the Sheriff last evening that he would call out the militia if further dis- turbance was threatened. The Governgr also issued a proclamation Offering a reward of $500 for the apprehension of any of the murderers. District Attorney Chamberlain ts exerting himself to bring the guilty parties to justice. A Coroner's inquest was held and a verdict was renderea that, Call came to his death by violence at the hands 01 some persons unknown to the jury. Constables are on the track of Denis Galloway, who, it is alleged, was the leader of the gang that attacked Mrs. Carter’s house. Before the close of this week it is expected that many of the guilty parties will be arrested, as the authorities are on the alert, Father O’Keill, of St. Peter's, Jersey City, not only attended to the deceased, but also exerted his influeuce among tae Irish laborers to quell the disturbance, and #0 con- fident is he that he will succeed that he gives assur- ance no further outbreak will occur. In the mean- time a special posse of deputies is employed, and no efforts will be spared to render the sanguinary outlaws amenable to justice. The name of Paten- burg will henceforth convey bloody memories to many families, and it remains for the inexorable ey code to visit this crime with condign punish- THE LATEST JERSEY SCANDAL. Arraignment of Surrogate Holcomb, of Middlesex County, for a Heinous Crime— Opening of the Casc. At half-past ten o'clock yesterday morning Fer- dinand 8, Holcomb, Surrogate of Middlesex county’ N. J., was arraigned before Judge Scudder on a charge of violating a young lady at New Brunswick. ‘The affair in which this gentleman figures so prom- inently, although occuring in May last, has assumed Qn importance that was entirely unanticipated. He has filled the offize he now occupies for many years with credit, and the charge brought against him has created intense excitement in political as well as domestic circles throughout the county, ‘The young lady, who also figures in an unfavorable light, 18 well known in New Brunswick, and the facts climinated yesterday afternoon upon her examination show conclusively that the Surrogate ts either an unmitl- gated villain and libertine or that his accuser is an accomplished “blackmatier.”’ Upon the bench sat Judge Scudder and Associate Judge Cowenhaven. The court room was crowded, The announcement that the trial of the Surrogate would begin at ten o'clock drew together a con- course that has seldom been witnessed in that particular judiciary apartment. The indicted Sur- rogate entertd the court room at half-past ten o'clock, accompanied by his counsel, Messrs, Wood- bridge Strong und G.

Miss Bechtel is a petite blonde, with beautiful golden mi ' hair, mild blue eyes, a fine form and was neatly dressed, On her fingers were one or two fine chased gold rings, and suspended in her ears were two earls or fac-similes of that gem; she sat rest- jessly and eyed the vast crowd uneasily, The Sur- rogate sat allent and moody and scarcely raised his eyes from the floor, save now and then when his counsel interp an objection to the District Attorney's interrogations to witnesses, ‘THE VIRST WITNESS called to the stand by the District Attorney was the girl Ann Bechtell. Upon being questioned by him she stated that she was born on the 19th oO} September, #857; that her mother died when she was ten months old. After that she was adopted by Mrs. Joseph Bechtell. Three years ago she removed from Trenton with her foster parents and resided in Oliyer street, New Brunswick. On the ith of jay she said that she was ent on an errand by her adopted mother, While passing through the square, adjacent to the Court House she saw Surrogate Holcombe stand- ing on the steps of the Surrogate’s office. She had previously seen lim. He spoke to her teasingly and playfully and finally invited her into his office, She said that she went in, but did not intend stay- ing but afew minutes. When the clerks had de- arted, and after she was there but a few minutes, Holcombe dragged her jnto ay inner room and there forcibly violated her. She sald that she screamed and implored him to gave her, ag he was @ married man aud was the fathgt of grown-up children, but that he heeded nge her entreaties.
