Allegheny county for the past ten ycars has been moted chiefly as being the headquarters of republi- anism for Western Pennsylvania. When Grant was elected, in 1868, it gave a larger republican majority in proportion to its population than any county in the Union, The Soldiers and Sailors’ Convention that met here last week seemed an earnest of what the dis- trict would do in the coming elections, but, unfortunately for radicalism, Mr. Greeley fame along immediately after that Oon- vention had adjourned, and the ovation he reccived was 80 genuine that the hearts of the re- ablican leaders nearly failed them, and it needed jut the advent of Schurz last evening to complete ‘he final overthrow of radicalism in this county. It was estimated yesterday morning that there ‘would probably be about three thousand men in the procession, but as club after club passed along, many of them having been uniformed and organ- ized within twenty hours, { THE STRENGTH OF THE DEMONSTRATION ‘was manifest.

His principal fear with regurd to this State is the infu- ences that will be brought to bear to count Bucka- few out, even if elected, and I find this fear to be neral. He says money is being freely used in i parts of this State where he has visited, and he 8 more stress on the power of bribery than on any other cause that can possibly militate to the digadvantage of his cause. CURTIN’S LIBERAL TENDENCIES, as proved by his letter published to-day, and first intimated the HERALD’s Philadelphia corre- spondence, has done much for the benefit of the cause here. Although not altogether unexpected, tte mp biloetion has caused a revolution that makes oe if felt in all parts of the State. Not that there much talk about it, but there is a decided amount of thought and speculation as to the causes that fed to it. Curtin’s record as an honest man, a man of decided views, is too well established in Penn- sylivania to lead any oue to think he had come out for liberalism as a matter of expediency. No one questions his reasons for the act. 1 was informed by McClure over two years ago in Philadeiphia that Curtin would go over to the democracy the next constitutional convention. Ths was before the jiberal movement liad been thought of; but it shows very plainly that Curtin at that early day had his mind made up to leave the republican party, ¢ PARTY FEELING yuns very high.

The Political Fight in Armstrong County Over a Jail—A Radical Politician Who Forgets the Story of Washington and His Little Hatchet—A Political Solon, Who Says Curtin Has Been Led to Liberai Side Solely by Litemperance. KirraninG, Pa., Sept. 27, 1872, ‘The first thing that met my gaze as the train ap- Proached this place to-day wasa very handsome jell. I thought, asi wended my way to tho hotel, Kittaning can ciaim to be fully up to the most am- Witious in the matter of prison accommodations, Littie did I think that the fight among politicians here ts over this “white elepnant,’’ as they cali it; but there is no question of equal importance in ‘whe eyes of Armstrong county people. The can- ne ne torfal candidates are canvassed with a view to settle how far they would favor the peo- ple of the county in their present fight with the connty Commissioners, It seems these gentlemen, #0 soon as it was decided te tear down the old building and erect a new one that should be in keeping with the tendencies of the age, proceeded to raise money to prosecute the work. They issued bonds, and raised something like one hundred and fifteen thousand dollars be- fore It was discovered’ there was no Jaw to legalize the bonds, Finding the mistake they had made, Bowman, the representative in the Legisiature, was applied to to get a bill through legalizing the bonds and to empower the commissioners to raise $150,000 more. The farmers of the county de- eldedly objected fo spending any more money on the structure; but the bill was passed spite of their objections, and the jail is mow nearly completed at on, but his chances are very poor, indeed, and, by a natural sequence, Hartranft will also be cut. In fact, the further I penetrate into the interior the more decided the feeling against the republican candidate for the Governorship. The republicans—the majority, I mean—openly avow their tutention to cut This evening I visited the republican héadgnarte: Jor this county in charge of Dr, Vstenge ‘three or four young men—the tirst year of their political ex- Eee and sprouting side whiskers—were jusily engaged folding and mailing campaign docu- ments in envelopes bearing the frank of an M. 0. from some district in this State, and Allison, a wry little country physician, full of good natured self-sufticiency, proceeded to post me on THE FEELING IN THR DISTRICT, I gave him a letter from Russell Errett, Chairman of the State Central Committ “Oh, pet he said; “Russell and I are always In tiaiy, gave him an idea onceabout a certain thing.

The protective tendencies of Pennsylvania were nicely illustrated this morning. I dropped into a cigar store in search of a Havana. The shopkeeper: having just made a sale of six cigars for @ quarter, turned to me and asked, “Well, sir, what will you have? laying particular stress on the second t paseo as if to overwhelm me with the evidences of the sale I had just witnessed, My wants being o! a modest nature always Tasked for a Cede cigar, when he produced a ok ott 3 hardest looking weeds I had seen in some time. I demurred to the quality, and was asked with an indignant air if I wanted a better clgar than that. “Why, sir, It takes twenty-five cents to buy three of them.” I faintly suggested my desire to look at an imported cigar. “What! an imported crgar— we den’t yeep Yem here; we believe in home in- dustry, we do!” This was an unanswerable argu- ment. It is time lost to attempt an argument with such people. TUE PRINCIPAL PRODUCTIONS OF THE ALLEGHANY VALLEY are coal and oil. The working people are too busily engaged in their vocations to give much time to politics, They look at events without giving them an analysis. They see Ae. Spe they appear on the suriace without taking trouble to question causes. For instance, Curtin’s letter has been accepted og the honest convictions of that sondeman put, jehopkeepers and hye me ave More time for thoug! ) tly: he LB | him to take Tee Patna ie publican last event! who was all Curtin last week, When it was thouglit he would accept the nomination to the Constitutional Convention at the hands of the radicals, say, “What if Curtin has ‘one over to the liberals? ‘He don’t amount to uch, He-has bee DRINKING VERY HARD the last few years.” In the estimation of this po- litical Solon Curtin was led to the liberal side solely by intemperance. There is quite as much wisdom in this estimate of Mr. Curtin’s character as in manv omen things connected with politics in this State. jgotry rather than reason possesses the minds of men who are otherwise sensible people. This canvass, being a bitter one, brings Out all the animosities, jealousies and weaknesses of the human mind, Ve recent! ad @ personal and practical Toile, the “ured Ing tendencies of thé human mind under the influence of excitement; and the suffering this has entailed on all concerned is beyond all belief. But the ence ofa State are not supposed to think for hemselves—their political leaders do that; and just so far as the Blues can induce them to think the Yellows are the greatest villains unhanged, just 80 far will the Blues be ahead in the canvass, The older I get the more I incline to the opinion of the honest Dutchman who, thoroughly disgusted with politicians, declared, ‘Bolitics ish a d—d fool!’ Unless the republicans can bring some influences to counteract the growing strength of liberalism in this valley the people will not only cut Hartranit, but Grant will also be left in the rear in the Presi- dential race, and that in a region which has hith- erto given him rousing majorities. Excitement in Dauphin County Over Curtin’s Letter—Discontent in the Ranks of the Radicals, HARRISBURG, Sept. 25, 1872, Returning from Luzerne county yesterday Morning I was greatly surprised to discover Curtin’s manifesto had been transmitted in full by telegraph from New York. I was still more astonished to find it had created an intense excitement among the republicans here, especially after the assurances given on the pre- vious day that everything was so well arranged that nothing from Curtin or any one else could disturb them. But, despite this pretended security, and the alleged invulnerability of the republicans, this letter has positively put them ali ina flutter, and they do not hesitate to exhibit their trepidation— probably they‘Would say they were not suficlently tiutlous to hide it. Here, in the stronghold of Cameron, the ranks waver, and unless that gentle- man hastens to the scene of disorder there will be difMiculty in getting the men into line again. I met Postmaster Bergner, who is also the editor of the administration organ here, and he seemed to think a good deal about it, and was questioned by twenty persons while travelling @ distance of two blocks. Bergner appédted to be like the bird. dealer's favorite magpie in the fable. This notabie bird was purchased by an enthusiastic amateur, who was disgusted to find the bird didn’t talk, and complained to the dealer. The latter natively re- plied that “if the bird didn’t speak much he was @ mighty deep thinker.” Bergner was evidently exercised, being in about this condition. Hartranft was reported to have arrived on Capitol Hill. This announcement caused a general ery ys in the direction of the public oMces; and, as I followed, mixing occasionally with the crowd as we passed over the hill, I heard ‘NUMEROUS MUTTERINGS OF DISCONTENT and inuendo charges of bad management against the leaders of the party for not taking charge of Curtin or else Ce im up in some Way or so as to have prevented t} his favor. There is no doubt hundreds of the voters in this county have lost their equanimity in conse- quence of this letter, believing that create a great change, and that now he has thrown himself into the Buckalew balance, the latter wil! be elected. Hartranft was not to be found at the Auditor General's office, and his deputy in charge averred that he had not seen him for several days, did not know where to send his corre- spondence; but if he had passed through Harrisburg he must have gone to Philadelphia, ‘The reason why the crowd made for Hartranft, I was informed, was the fact that he can usually be approached by the respectable class of politicians and generally gives any information within the recincts of prudence, Cameron, on the other and, repels the crowd, refusing to take an inter- | est in the ordinary twaddle of professional | mongers. Jameron smiled a wicked smile when he was agked about the “letter,” but refused to be inter- viewed on the subject, and objected sony, to give an opinion, though be did not deny there was @ strong reaction setting in. Ifthe really be- lleves what he stated on Monday, that no one man can control the suttrages of the people in the future, he must be IN A STRANGE CONDITION MENTALLY this morning. If on the other hand, Qameron em- love the old argument—the kind of reasoning he is acknowled, to haye employed for forty years— he may, perhaps, hold matters avout as they are in his immediate hborhood, but he will have to be smartein checking the reaction. Of course, I do controlling this place—that is conceded—my re- marks apply to the Cage tle oe Uhave never witnessed such vacillation as 1 have ob- served among the poilticians in this county, T hasten to inform you to the feeling here, be- cause of the numerous allegations made that Cur- tin had no personal followers of importance, and that with separation from the regular republi- can ranks would jose the only sympathizers he ‘Midates for the Legisiature are making their fight Ver the jali alone, and the claingy of the guberna- had in the State, The fact, however, appears to be Just ihe reverse, His tliness, alewed patriot- is outburst of expression in | Curtin will | not mean that he will have the least dimeuify in | hi | speaker if possible. “I may A A and gresitate, as py ex! magne peer, to bd he ie torrent of public sympathy Bucks County Curtin’s Stronghold—The Whole County Almost Unanimous for Backalew—The Liberal Demonstration of Doylstown—A Very Grotesque Proces= sion—Speeches by Governor Hoffman and General Kilpatrick. Doy.esrown, Bucks County, Sept. 26, 1372. Pucks county has been perhaps one of the most uncertain of thé electoral divisions of this Commonwealth. Durlitg the last ten years the tide of political sympathy has ran in favor of the winning party. ‘The side evincing the greatest strength has received most support— the democrats being the winners for four years in succession. A beautiful county, indeed, is this, The land on all sides as you travel to this Place ig cultivated almost to perfection, indicative of the industry and talent of the farmers, Being purely an agricultural district, the inhabitants derive their means of existence chief, from the iand, and consequently the people are all more or leas interested in producing cereals for the Philadelphia and New York markets, And one can readily discern the great pride of these good- Batured people as they refer to thelr patches of rich land, capable of producing almost everything necessary for prolonging human existence, and point out to you how they manage to cultivate the sides of this steep hill and that spacions plain, whereon only a few years ago stood stalwart trees of oakand hemlock. They call their county “the garden of Pennsylvania,” and it certainly has very strong claims to the distinction. The woorls yet to be cleared supply almost unlimited fuel; the low- lying valleys produce a rich crop of grass,.on which the cattle feed—in fact, with tle facilities for pro- curing fish, flesh, fowl, vegetables and fruits of all kinds in abundance, the people can afford to feel independent of the outer world. A stranger on entering this county town for the first time cannot fail to remark he is in the midst of an intelligent, simple minded people, courteous, hos- pitable and bubbling over, as it were, with good nature, This latter fact will probably account for the ease with which their political sentiments have been moulded to suit noisy, keen-witted political wire-pullers from without, - THE COUNTY YOTE, 3 In 1869 the total yote of thé county was 13,566; the republican vote was 6,505, the democratic 7,061—a majority of 560 in favor of the latter. This WAS the téat otf the Geary-Packer fight, but it is how said that vote was not full. The republicans state that they have since brought out several hun- dred colored voters, but they cannot find suficient without importation to offset the democratic ma- | jority added to the liberal republicans, who are es- timated at about one hundred and fifty, and those of the regular mécontents, who are with Buckalew and against Greeley. But this, of all counties, is a Curtin district. Here the usually slow, plodding, honest German farmer admires, nay, loves, Curtin, When he first ran for Governor he made several speeches here, His meetings were attended by the farmers and their wives and daughters by thousands, who came twenty miles and even greater distances to see and hear him, A floral triumphal arch was erected here, and as he entered the town he was met by almost the entire population. At the conclusion of the first two mectings, s0 enchanted had these simple peaple become, socompletely carried away by his expressions of courage and patriotism, his logic and ‘apparently fair statements and the trans- cendently beautiful pictures he drew of public life as it should be and as he intended to endeavor to make it from that time, that the men clung to him and the women kissed him all round, without re- gard to age or pean koutees General W. H, Davis this morning, and he me, WAB GREAT CARD OF THE CAMERON MEN among the farmers, many of whom wavered and broke ranks as soon asCarl Schurz and Charles Sumner had formally declared themselves, has been to laugh at the idea of Curtin ever di ring in favor of the liberal republican nominces at Cin- cinnati. These slow but reflective beings have all along been loath to believe any such statement, and now that the formal declaration of Curtin in favor of Buckalew and reform has been promulgated they are joyous beyond measure. At breakfast this morning I observed a number of these careful peo- le at the yeane fables, ip he dining saloon of the otel. They har en in town two days, waiting for the great coalition demonstration here, as mentioned below, I took my seat near a grou of fre four of ioe b were men averagin about forty years of age, as near could ju well-dressed, well-to-do tillers of the soil. Cab! 8 Were certainly at a discount. Poll- tics from first to last engaged thelr attention. After they had been discussing the statesmanship of Sumner and the oenes renee of “our Carl of Missouri,” the leader of the caucus, in response tO my questicn as to how the feeling ran in his dis- trict, said that Greeley’s power was gradually in- creasing all around him. The democrats had de- ceived them time and time again, making fair promises and acting in direct opposition to them afterwards, but Grant’s men had equally abused their confidence, IP BUCKALEW FULFILLED HIS vows, and Greeley did not talk too much before election, and did not shift his position on the tariff question as stated at Cincinnati, the republican party would probably have a strong German support for we tocome. ‘Ja, interrupted the youngest of ‘he group, “wtr haben zu viel Grantism gehabt im Lande; gebeman uns nun einen guten Mann fir Pritsident.” 1 fa that they, ure get a worse man than General Grant in the White House. They “couldn't see the justice” of my remarks, however, and I took no further part in the conversation, being merely a listener. I was at the office of Schellenberger, the leading spirit of the democracy here anda aang lawyer with a considerable practice among the Dutch. He assured me that during the past week he had re- ceived more than three hundred letters, a pile of which I saw, oats from the farmers, who are really in earnest in the present fight to elect Bucka- lew over Hartranft. He sent despatches to various points yesterday cet | to the various clubs the publication of Curtin’s letter, and he told me the answers in each case showed how delighted the people were with the news. ing the figures I have given and the other evidencé in favor of the coalition moveme:t Buckalew stands the best possible chance of carry- ing the county. The only fear 1 lave is lest the other side shout RING ANOTHER CHANGE,” promise greater things, blind the eyes of the weak and dazzie those of the strong with greenbacks; give up the ek ticket so as to get all their votes concentrated on Hartranit and the candi- date for the Legislature, and thus overpower the present strength of their opponents. If the demo- cratic and liberal republican leaders watch the horizon beds Aen, they may defeat any such schemes Afid thus secure a good palority fp Bucks county in favor of Buckley and reforu) In October, and a greater exhibit of stréngth in November. At present everything—absolutely everything—here is in favor of Buckalew, THE DEMONSTRATION YESTERDAY. “Unity, reconciliation and honest government. Greeley, Brown, Buckalew. A mass mecting of all those in favor of sustaining the honor and integ- rity of civil rule, the just execution of the laws of our country, who believe in constitutional govern- ment and the rights of man, the liberties of the people, an undivided Unton, conciliation, friend- ship and fraternity; the purity of our national, State and municipal administrations, are invited to assemble.” Such {3 the announcement for the great athering, heading a poster five feet by three feet. Added to this is a perfectly startling list art of whose names I have previousl; give It is needless to say, however, that all who had promised to be present were not in at- tendance, General Banks was wnable ty at- tend, owing to a failure to “connect” at some “way or out-of-the-way station, there being any number of the latter in this State, and McOjure did not arrive until some two hours and a baif after the advertised time for forming the procession and the start to Union Park—a most splendid spot, by the way—another luxury for these truly favored people. Any New Yorker may be excused for being envious, GOVERNOR JOEL PARKER, on whom a large influx of visitors trom Trenton and other parts depended, sent the following letter to be read to the processionists:— Farenoun, Sept. 23, 1873.

Davt JORL PARKER, The morning broke “dail and cloudy,” as Old Probabilities would express it, The hilarious youths of the place, who had been preparing for such a glorious time, began to express fears of gg ment. By eight o'clock the town was alive. Dozens | of. chargers, Suggestive of the plough and such like labor, for which they were evidently employed, were seen standing passively enough at the corners of the streets, caparisoned with everything that was green—I make no collateral allusion—and in many instances Randy. ‘Twigs and brambles were stuck about the head, pleces of scarlet ornamented the saddle, with more green intermixed, and alto- | gether these animals presented a gay appearance. lere and there an adventurous parader had mounted, dressed, in some instances, in red shirt, but without coat or any other superfuity of that kind, with a few pieces of red, blue and white silk, worked into @ “favor” and pinned on this ring garment, Others wore the scarfs and emblems of VARIOUS BECRET ORDERS with 9 sword, a genuine man-kiljer, dangling at the side. In this connection I may mention that tnese people are of a unarily p) mind relative to these processions, For instance some time ago a republican demonstration was or- ‘anized, but being considerably in the minority in le county ae had not sufiicient horses and ap- Paratus to make a “big show.” With inat disin- terested patriotism “natural to sich hockassions,”” as Artemus Ward would express it, the democrats Joaned the republicans their horses and ali the Peet, the generosity of the epublioats ined boa e Fe, exercised to day, * Ren PaPanee dase eo PROCESSION . formed at about half-past one o’clock at the rafl- road neue toa Lye tee of which I scarcely feel equal.

The horses wore around their necks garlands of pine and bramble branches, dotted over here and there with flowers of varied hue. These were all made by sweethearts, sisters, mothers and other females—I suppose there are others here, The preparations for these decorations have been truly laborate, In quick succession came a delegation f heavy caypiry in the shape of about twenty “traps” from Warrington.

In the wagon stood a crow Of abou! each other over the side, and thirty, almost pushin; holahtg by ropes froni the tear of the vehicle a tree with the leaves dad large branches torn of, and having the, STARS AND STRIPES TRAILING front it, in the dust, these sons of toil, holding on to the phe pay ring and blowing as if for their lives, They tried to bring the limb of the tree to a perpendicular sition, but it was too much for them, and so they tralied past, Another Wagon and general cargo. In the centre was a chureh bell, which tolled furiously as the vebicl rolied to and fro like ashipinastorm. Aroun this musical Instrument were clustered some gen- uine “ward boys,” some green corn (it had been rreen at least), a plough, and another tree, with Jncle Sam’s bunting, representative of pride and Brosperity in the dust. Texpostulated as well as I could at this outrage. Six mules now crawled past, drawing in a white hay van as rough a gang as ever existed, Without hats, covered with dust, overheated with whiskey, the foremost of these paraders shouted for Gree- ley—creating agreat deal of amusement, In the rear of this vehicle sat six laborers, pure et simple, holding spades and pickaxes. “Why don’t yer holler, d=-n me!’ said the driver. ‘Get up, get up!” and he slashed atthe unfortunate mules, “Giv um a good un, boys! Now, hip, hip!” Nobody responded, and he gave @ scorniul glance at the crowd behind him and resumed his method of per- suading the beasts to move on. More belles in coupes, smiling as though perfectly happy to be considered democrats. Following these came a TROOP OF CAVALRYMEN with a grand flourish of trumpets, reminding one of the entry of some successful hunter of the olden time mto his feudal castle in triumph from a deer hunt, bearing aloft a buck's head as a trophy of victory—the only difference in this case being that at the end of alimb of a green tree they held the heads of Greeley, Brown and Buckalew. Loud, lialf derisive, half applauding cheers, rected these worthies, who appreciated by bow- profoundly, A militia band then came in sight and began to play “Dixie,” creating a great furore. At this juncture some hatlesa enthusiast truck an attitude on the roof of a near house and egan to yell at the multitude, blessing everything that was to liberate his fellow citizens from the thraldom of some “gang”—I was unable to hear whether he alluded to the present State or national administration. Finding things went on beneath him the same as before he began his incoherent harangue, he gave up specchmaking, squatted tailor fashion on the parapet and gave himself up to the spirit that moved him, rolling to and fro like & woman in paroxysms of grief—lashing the atmo- ate with his hands—a most amusing spectacle, The next sceie on the street was a TRAIN OF LOW WAGONS, covered with canvas and filled with the liberal re- publicans proper, drawn by mules, The Northamp- ton, Southampton and Bensalem Clubs then assed. These were the goiliens, most noisy and lemonstrative of the crowd; they howled, laughed, gesticulated, threw each other's hats overboard and played the fool with flowers and pieces of ever- green; pulled each other’s hair and beards, and after they disbanded had lots of fun at Corson’s. Then came a crew of tle roughest of i BUCKS COUNTY'S YEOMEN, on heavy-looking, shaggy-maned steeds, sitting in old war saddles and wearing old tall silk hats, for which no Hebrew in Chatham street would make an offer, covered on the outside with card board bearing the inscription of “Greeley, Brown and the Honest Gubernatorial Candidate.” These fellows were passable until they lifted their hats and 0) ened thelr mouths, which instantly reduced the charm. Again, a novelty, and something for which many a New Yorker would give a dollar to witness. In a little, cooped-up wagon, drawn by four horses, were the members of a band who were organized for the first time this morning. The instruments consisted of an immense drum, @ la Boston Jubilee, a cornet, an old violin, played by a man who must have seen duty in the battles of 1812, @ triangle so rusty that it looked like a piece of hoop iron, and a ciarionet of the most ancient description, The charm was in the music. They started a kind of reel, the cor- net keeping up a hideous toot-toot, always about six bars ahead, followed closely by the banging of the drummer. These two kept straight along, fol- lowed by the horrid screeching of the old violin and the chop-chop of the triangle, each atleast a bar behind the other; while the old clarionet player, his head as erect as a statue, squealed away to tho top of his bent, regardless of time or harmony, sometimes ahead and sometimes behind his friends of the fiddle and triangle. This was called the “impromptu band,” and such it truly was, Amore LAUGHABLE, LUDICROUS ARRANGEMENT Inever beheid or heard. Of course this was In- tended by the managers to be stupid, and it was stupid to a degree beyond description. Next came men in low cars drawn by men, and as they passed along grinning and blustering they repre- sented so many monkeys on exhibition, Some in- renious individual, filled with the spirit of adven- ure beyond his fellow processionists, had placed m wast Her te poned!—trrrLE poGs— in a crate on wheels, and had them duly presented to the gaze of the astonished sightseers, who fairly roared with laughter. To heighten the effect and to keep the animals in the consciousness that they were just then Me baal 8 an ele- vated position, to the envy of the whole canine tribe in the county, he now and again gave them a gentle poke with a short stick to keep them moving and to teach them it was undignified to lie down in the presence of their ee audience. Every time the sagacious beast felt the prod he got from the stick he gave a ‘yelp’ which only ti nded toconvuilse the multitude with laughter, So the fun went on until one became fairiy tired of laughing and had to retire of necessity. The cor- tége was so long that I could not hope to mention all the absurdities, but the few instances I have stated will perhaps be sufictent to enable your readers to form au opinion of the whole, THE SPEAKERS. In the meantime Governor Hoffman arrived, ac- companied by his secretary and several friends. He was escorted to the principal hotel and afterwards driven to the rear of the Couit House, where he mounted the large platform, from which ex-Dis- | trict Attorney James was just then addressing an anenge crowd of people. The Governor's popu- fant in this county must be considerable, for he ‘was incessantly cheered and applauded, General Kilpatrick then addressed the meeting, apologizing for himself aud his friends for breaking away from the reguar republican party. He in- veighed against the administration in a terribie manner, interspersing lis remarks with numerous ables, anecdotes, &c., and making one of his most effective campaign speeches, Governor Hoffman followed, the substance of whose remarks I duly forwarded by telegraph. William Hartley, of Bedford county, the candi- date for Auditor General, came next, and buttied well for his party and himself. A. K. McClure was greeted with loud cheers as he arose to speak. His speech was of a powerful nature, taking bis ground of belief in tne success of thelr cause on the Curtin move and the split in the republican ranks over Hartranit. Tnis con- cluded the daylight programme, THE NIGHT MERTING, t seven o'clock in the evening the Democratic Club, wearing the same kind of dress as when they paraded in the morning, and bearing oil lamps instead of the old style torch, formed in procession at Corson’s, and escorted Buckalew, McClure and Kaibfus to the Court House. This piace was crowded almost to suffoca- tion, and each of these gentiemen made speeches to the vociferous gathering, the mecting breaking Up at about eleven o'clock. The republicans behaved remarkably well Goring the demonstration and speech-making. Idid no’ hearasingle expression tending to disorder or rowdyism. This may be owing to their acknowl- edged weakness in the county, but it certainly gaysa good deal for their sound common sense, They Wiil probably have an aifair of this kind in the coursé of a few days, and I have no doubt the democrats will behave jm an equally generous manner, | Greenpoint. Ship's Boilers by Hor Builder, The investigation of the Bienville disaster was continued yesterday at ten o’clock before the Board of Inspectors specially detatled by the Secre- tary of the Treasury. The testimony of Mr. Wil- liam Anthon, whose story has already been pub- lished in its genera} details, disproves certain slan- ders on the conduct of a negro servant attached to Captain Maury, who was accused by a passenger of heartless brutality, William Garrison, the negro, it now appears, was the saviour of his accuser, risk- ing his own life in the attempt, ‘ The testimony of the freight agent of the line, it may algo be remarked, shows ou several points—of which it would be supposed bis knowledge would be much more distinct—a surprising ignorance, An interest in the Investigation is now beginning to be strongly felt by the public, and it may yet be gratified by some uniooked-for developments, The cause of the fire in the fated vessel is not yet dis- covered, and there is something to be explained regarding the contradiction of evidence concyrn- ing the combustible portion of the cargo. Yesterday the examinations were conducted principally by Messrs. Hill and Boole. A PASSENGER'S TESTIMONY, Mr. Henry Anthon was the first witness, He was one of the passengers of the Bienville, and his nar- Tative of the disaster appeared in several of the Nassau papers. His testimony is as follows:— I left New York on my way to Lima, Pern, on the 10th of August, on the steamer Bichville; I observed that from the time Ot sailing the discipline on shipboard was per- fect; I think that on the 13th of August, in the afternoon, the erew were all drilled at tire quarters; they seemed 16 work with the same promptness and regularity as hay: seen on board of English and French vessels, and vs as my knowledge foes the apparatus was in good in regard to the orlgin of the fre I know nothing ‘went sorward and down the steerage hat the hatch below was covered with a wet sail, and the smoke which arose trom it looked more like steam than smoke; when passing the engineer's hatch on my way to the the quarter deck no smoke coming through it—that was some filteen or twenty minutes later; when I went own to the after cabin to change my dress and yet iny papers I found smoke drifting through the cabin so strongly as to necessitate my making the alterations in m tin the cabin underneath the skylyht, us 1zan t DANGER OF SUFFOCATION in my stateroom ; it was about fifteen minutes after this that Captain Maury directed myself and several cabin passengers to leave the ship ina boat then at the gany Way, Mr. Anthon here submitied his published aiatemca, & letter addressed to Mr. 8. P. Saunders, the Vice Consul of Nassau. Our boat was provisioned and watered, and also had a mast, sail and oars, two large metallic buckets and oue wooden one: when we lett the ship we had either thirty-one or thirty-two persons in the boat; the other boat referred to in this statement of imine placed on board of us, prior to our swamping, elther three or four additional passengers; when we finally got our oat bailed out, after being rome seven hours in the water, there were but twenty-five in all; the remainder were lost; they must have drowned shortly afior our swamping or floated off with the current; these twenty- five persons were landed at San Salvador. Was the donkey pump worked to throw water on the fire? A. I canuiot tell; after we were in the water about an hour we saw to our surprise a man swimming toward us; when he came up with us and took hold of the boat we found that he was one of our people, Olliver by name, I think; he said that when our boat swamped he swam off to one of the boats that had but ten or twelve people in her; he was a good swimmer and got within haifot the boat, but they pulled away and abandoned hiwn to his fate; ko he returned to us; the ‘boat in which Mr. Mead, Consul at Nicarauga, was saved was a large boat, I think the sister boat of ours; she had but fourteca peopte in her; Mr. Mead s sau that one of our men swam out towards them; he was scen from the boat, but they abandoned him; Mr. Mead said that he could do nothing, he being simply @ passenger; one of our men was William Garrison, a body servant of Captain Maury; he was one of the four mén to whose exertions we chiefly owed our safety; the charge of brutal conduct made against him by William Burrows, Jr. is not only not true, but is most disgraceful, from ‘the fact that the negro NGARRISON SAVED BURROWS IIMSELY FROM DROWNIXG; Burrows said that when he and others wero hangin to let go; at the time referred to by Mr. Burrows f was on the boat's mast, about sixty feet irom the boat, and J ten saw this inan Garrison in the water, about a hundred tect from the boat, hoiding on to the cask of bread; this cask T saw him push up to a man apparently drowning, and relinquish it as he placed it within ihe grasp of the drowning man; he then swam off, and did not make his ‘ance again until { returned to the boat; during all that he was In or withont the boat I never! “use of one of the expressions with which Nassau Mr. William Berry, a ly charged Burrows with his passenger In our boat, ope ingratitude, saying that when Burrows was drowning, and contrary to the instructions of the officer in charge, who was averse {0 tak ¥ one else in the boat prior to baling her out, for tear of eapsizing, Garrison had pulled Iiim in, with the remark that’ as the poor old man was drowning, and didn’t weigh anything him in the boat anyhow; Mr. Berry m this statement before the Consul at Aspinwall, ARMS AND AMMUNITION ABOARD, Just before daylight on the 16th fnst., Burroughs in- formed me, while we were aft on the quarter deck, that the parties for whom he was acting had shipped by the Paciic Mail steamers quantities of arms and ainmunision; he did not know if there was any powder or combustibles among them, or if there was any on board; I suggested to him the pfopriety of reporting tnls to the captain, but ag he seemed tardy in so doing, f spoke to Captain Maury, Who replied that there was no powder in the ship to Mis Knowledge; that there were some cartridges, but that they wore in the treasure room or magazine, EVIDENCE OF THE PREIGHT AGENT.

Motion of Distriet Attorney Garvin to Remove the Indictments Against Tweed, Con- nolly and Others Into the Oyer and Terminer, mi constructed? An Array of Lawyers in the General Sessions. Recorder Hackett To Hear the Ar- gument on Friday Next. Pursuant to a notice sent by District Attorney Garvin to the counsel of William M. Tweed, Richard B. Connolly, Mayor Hall, Harry Genet, Nathaniel Sands and others, who have been indicted for alleged frauds upon the-city treasury, a host of distinguished gentlemen of the bar made their ap- pearance yesterday morning in the Genoral Ses- sions, Recorder Hackett presiding. The prosecution was represented by Judge Garvin, Judge Tremain, Henry L. Clinton and Wheeler H, Peckham, and among the defendants’ counsel may be named David Dudley Field, Judge Waterbury, John McKeon and John E, Burrill. THE GENET INDICTMENTS, District Attorney Garvin rose sud said:—Your Honor, I have motions in several indictments for the purpose of transferring them from this Court to the Court of Oyer and Terminer. Among others I have two cases against Henry W. Genet. : Ex-Judge Waterbury said that Mr. Genct, his: client, thonght it was a great hardship not to be tried, and wanted to be tried as soon as possible. He was willing to be tried in whatever Court or before whatever judge the prosecuting officer might choose, ‘The Genet indictments were accordingly trans- ferred to the Oyer and Terminer, . THE INDICTMENTS AGAINST TWEED AND OTHERS. District Attorney Garvin again rising said:—It Your Honor please, [have a motion in an indict- ment against William M, Tweed and others, in which I desire to move it to the Court of Oyer and Termimer and have it tried there. Counsel for Mr, Tweed remarked that in that case he meant to make some opposition to the mo- tion, He understood there was a murder case on trial, and it might interfere with the progress of that case to hear the discussion. ‘The Recorder stated that he would hear no mo- tion where there was to be an extended argument by counsel. ‘There was a murder case on which had occupied three days, and which would engage the attention of the Court till to-morrow, District Attorney GARVIN—I desire to state the motions which I have te make, and have Your Honor fix some day when you will hear them. There is an indictment against William M. Tweed | alone, and also eight indictments Lash Richard B. Connolly and several others, whom it is not necessary to name, in which the counsel have been regularly notified to appear, v. John McKeon—When were those indictments found against Mr, Connolly? District Attorney Garvin—These are the last in- dictment*, There is also au indictment pending against Natnaniel B, Sands, in which Mr. Field ap- pears on the other side, We would like to have the order made during the present term if our mo- tion is granted, but if denied we want to make preparations to try them in this Court, Mr. David Dudley Field said he was concerned in the indictments aguinst Mr. Tweed and Mr. Sands, and that he had already explained to the counsel for private reasons it Was impossible for him to be here next week. 3 PRESSING ON THE INDICTMENT. Mr. Lyman ‘remain remarked thut if it was & matter in which his own personal convenience was concerned he wouid be very glad to accommodate + he ‘other side, but the per- sons concerned in the prosecution of these cases were exceedingly desirous that they should be brought to trial at the earliest possible moment, ‘The Court of Oyer and Terminer convenes a week from next Monday, and if the cases were to be re- | moved at all, so as to be tried during the ensuing term of that Court, it would be desirable to have the motion mace and its disposition Known at the earliest possible period. Your Honor, said Mr, Tremain, knows all these cases. Recorder Hackett—Unfortunately Ido not know about these cases, and I do not propose to know, if I can possibly help it. Mr. Tremain said that the fact of persons being charged with public robberies was a matter of pub- le notoriety, and he spoke of it in that sense. He. reminded His Honor that Mr. Hall requested that his ened ha be removed and a special Judge appointed. ‘The Recorder intimated that he was disqualified from taking any part in the proceedings against Mr. Hall, and he did not propose to eutertaja any motion in the indictment against Mr. Hall. Mr, Tremain—The indictments against Messrs, Tweed and Connolly were of a kindred character, and they (the counsel) were exceedingly desirous that they should be tried at the earliest possible moment. They had hoped that there would be no opposition to the motion to trausfer these cases to the Oyer and Terminer, His Honor intimated that he would entertain the motion on Saturday the 5th proximo, District Attorney Garvin suggested that if His Honor should take any time to consider the ques- tion, Saturday being the last Ved of the September term, jt might have the effect of throwing the mat- ter into the next Oyer and Terminer, Mr, Peckham also urged that unless the order for the removal of the cases were. made during the present term, the statute directs that they must go over till the next Oyer and Terminer, Mr, Clinton said that there were something like a dozen cases, and that the argument in two or three of them would consume the balance of the term. Mr. Peckham asked His Honor to indicate a Judze who would entertain the motion in Mayor Hal's case. ‘The Recorder said he would notify Judge Bedford and request him to attend on Friday. ARGUMENT OF COUNSEL TO BE RESUMED ON FRIDAY NEXT, It was finally arranged between the respective counsel that Kecorder Hackett should listen to the | argument on motion to remove the * Ring” indict- ments in the General Sessions on Friday next at eleven o'clock. Judge Bedford will be present, it is supposed, at that time, to rule upon the motion in relerence to the indictment against Mayor Hal ‘The distinguished array of counsel then retired from the courtroom.
