PENNSYLVANIA. POLITICS IN POTTSVILLE Schuylkill County for Buckalew. The Creeley Electoral Ticket in Doubt. THE REPUBLICAN STRENGTH & Close Contest in the Black Country— Views of Opposing Henchmen—Forten, Strouse and Scofield, and Grantism, Liveralism and Selfism—Pottsville’s Population and Politice—Schuylkill County Rallying to Buckalew, but Not Safe for Greeley—Estimatcd Republican Stee porravite, Pa, Sept. 27, 1872. After traversing over an aggregated area of twelve hundred miles in Pennsylvania J halted here to-day for the purpose of ascertaining how much Gner the political. lines were drawn among the q@iners than in other parts of the State. I had been told the bitterness was most intense in this strong- hold of reform, and I was prepared for Rothing less than actual hostilities among the Mealers in black diamonds, for the least addition to the excitement‘ in other regions must inevitably lead to innumerable fisti- «uff ware, and, perhaps, more serious matters, Uf steps are not taken to guard against them, I failed to discover any indications of a riotous na- tore during my perigrinations this evening, though i was@ compulsory listener to several very nasty wulldog-like dialogues, On taking the train for Potteville this afternoon I encountered W. Forten, the Phitadelphia colored orator, and an elector on the Grant ticket. Forten first gave me the idea of the fierceness with which his party intended to push the fight in the coal regions, and if possible upset the calculations so carefully made by the men in the liberal ranks. He knew, of course, to what length his instructions were to be carried, end, as Forten is one of the most firm believers tm that divine inspiration which led the whole colored race by irresistible force to do ex- actly what they bave done, and what in fact they were destined to do—support General Grant and the republican party—and that the same holy influence directs him in speaking the truth, I was scarcely at liberty to doubt his statement. Another reason why I paid attention to him was that he has gone into this land of fire and smoke te “work up” the workingmen, and to-night and to-morrow the administration henchmen are to as- tonish the natives of Reading, Berks county, by an exhibition of the glory of republicanism as against any other tenets, Knowing that ut the time 1 was talking with Forten OARL SCHURZ AND GOVERNOR HOFFMAN ‘were doing their best to convince these self-aame people of Reading that republicanism was the very last thing they ought to think of, while liberalism, ‘with ite land of promise in view, was available as the only true panacea for tie ills of a down- trodden. teal I endeavored to put two and two her and .get at the proba- ble result of this apesdine “War, absolute ‘was,’ I musea. ‘What afeariully disordered, ter- rible country is this! Was there ever such a state of things in any country before? Great heayens! how awful to think of what all these great men might have to do if General Grant should declare Fra - eabosians and place himself at the helm of e While Forten was Panenelag: that the liberals had not thrown out a bait to catch the colored vote ap- other great man rolled into our car in the person of the hero of straightoutism, Bourbonism and self- ism in the burly person of Alfred Scofield. He Swore at the colored orator, took an immense quantity of icewater, then turned to a friend and alleged they had just adjourned a meeting of “str t-outs” of nearly two hundred, positively ; that two ape Weeklies, each averaging a circu- tation of 2,000, had taken down the Greeley fi and hoisted the insignia of Charles O’Conor; tha’ y were going to have a fight in Berks and Schuylkill along with the re id if he didn’t find every straij pi ceeed son of Jeffersonian princi- ples willing to fall down and worship the images of of Duncan and Scofield he woula vote for Lart- sanft in October and vote against Greeley in No- vember. 1 Pion understand how the world could progress without such additions as this representative of “whiskey straights’ Phila- deiphia. Scarcely had I settled myself comfort- ably in my seat at eee to mentally discuss the havoc that might Af emanate from the bes 2 frebrands of Scofield and Forten, when in rushed Carl Schurz, accompanied by EX-CONGRESSMAN STROUSR. and a large deputation, Who, as 1 informed you by teiegraph, escorted him to this place. Leaving the Senator to the gaze of the vulgar, the dumpy ex-Con- in, With a nose and face now more than ever 8 itive of the ex-Emperor Napolcon, and stom- ach ditto, steaming with perspiration or overfiow- Ing with excitement, as it was suggested, seated himself by my side. Ai the gravity of an owl at matins with the sun up, and stretching him- self out until he ha. reduced my sitting space to about twelve inches, he told me, With all the dignity ofa millionnaire, that Backalew would be elected in his district; that everything was lovely and the venison high, and that if I didn’t believe it I could easily go and see for myself. Greeley wasa good man and entirely unobjectionable to Led Grant was a great man, too, if people could only see it; but that the HeEratp the greatest man of all. Having duly de- ivered himself of this astounding information, the old “vet.” who, by the way, was anything but a dummy in Congress, left me and resumed his pro- per position as chairman of the Schurz Committee of Reception. Colonel McClure was next brought out from some nook in another car, where he fad been preparing a speech which was to “‘scaip” the editor of the Mincr’s Journal. With all this experi- ence in 80 short a time, beholding so much of op- poatce and discord, you may judge that entering ttsville with such a group was not conducive to @ good digestion; and they say when a miner kills any one he simply bolts up into the hilis for four or five miles, then en; 8 to work in a coal pit until he acquires the proverbial dark semi-circle under his eyes, after which he considers he has performed penance enough, and that is about the end of the matter. Noteven a whitewashed ver- dict to comfort one's friends. POTTSVILLE’S POPULATION AND PECULIARITIES. Pottsville cannot well be termed a representative | town of the coal regions. It has the appearance of an old Welsh town, built during the days of the Druids, but spoiled by an attempt or attempts to transform it from the original design to soniethin, a good deal worse. You can break your toes, blac your face and make a mud vehicle of your boots (Lhave no doubt this is the gratuitous manner in which the street cleaning is done) before you have walked two biocks, As it represents the county very fairly Inecd travel no further in this direc- tion. The population is what Jefferson would term decidedly mixed: In the first place there | are the old-time Germans, who have never ceased to love their Nieder Deutsch origin, but who seldom leave their smutty halls anid mountain defies. Then there are the hard- shell, bard-cased Lae poltokg the real bone and sinew, the John Bull proper, who enter into the coal trade here and remain in it all their lives, their chief source of amusement being politics and the games of skill and strength on the river and neighboring mountain. There are also here a great pumber of hard-working and hard-irinking Catho- Ue Irishmen, whose spiritual wants are more fre- hy, supplied from the decanter than the altar, tly come the old, aboriginal, natural-born lov- of coal dust and short pipes, the Welshman. Itie principally from these four classes that the votes aré Giawh.

But the Irish tholics and the Welsh have both been split up; a umber of the former have gone over to Greeley, it not to Buckalew. The other wing has ined the English and German-American re- rmers, who at their Convention nominated & man by the name of Schell to run for Governor inst both Hartranft and Buckalew. So that, at the present time, politics are as bad! mixed as the people. There are Irish against Trish) 0b troublesome local issues, German against Ger- man as between Hartranit and Buckalew, and English and Welsh at drawn daggers on the ques- tion of reform.

If the democrats desire to improve their majority, they will have todo as their opponents are doing—work hard and quietly—otherwise there ia not even the remotest chance of their running up such @ majority as their coalition should cer- tainly receive. Feelings run high in favor of both Grant and Greeley and Hartranft and Buckalew ; indeed, I regard this county as tending strongly to- wards the republicans, ‘ne tendency may be forced, but that does not alter the fact, and should Pe lees the majority of the necessity of hard work and careful watching. Men will become dazzled by show, discipline and money, while principles are treated for just what they may happen to be worth in the best market. ME. GREELEY'S MOVEMENTS, He Goes to Pennsylvania To-Day—His Ideas of the Forthcoming State Elec- tion Mr. Greeley passed most of the day yesterday at the residence of Dr. Bayard, No. 8 Fortieth street, recuperating from the arduous labors of his recent trip, which seem, however, to have affected nim very little. He goes to Kurtztown, Berks county, Pa., to-day, where he will deliver an agricultural address, Strong efforts are being made to induce hin to § to Connecticut, and it is not improbable he may do so on Friday or Saturday of this week. Mr. Greeley in conversation with nis friends reiterates his statement that the prospects in Ohio and Indiana are entirely favorable, and only the ogee enc frauds can prevent the liberals beat! jose States. He has great confidence in the ability of the admiuistration party to buy and sees defeat to his supporters only in the most ex- travagant use of money. LIBERAL HEADQUARTERS, Here, agat the Greeley headquarters gencrally, the pardon of Yerkes by the Governor of Pennsyl- vania, as is alleged, upon condition that he makes such astatement as will clear the skirts of Hartran{t from any stain of complicity with the gigantic frauds perpetrated in that State, is made the sub- ject of conversation and its etfect commented on. All advices state that it 1s having a very disastrous effect upon the republican candidates, and upon the prospects of Grant in the State. ‘The Pittsburg Chronicle, & supporter of Grant and Hartranft, boldly denounces it, and it is regarded as one among the many foolish acts of managers rendered desperate by the prospect of defeat. The following is a list of the visitors:—Mr. P. Corbett, Syracuse; J.C. Clarke, John L. Randolph and J. N. Deltz, New Jersey. THE DEMOORATIC HEADQUARTERS, Among the visitors at these headquarters yester- day was General George W. McCook, late demo- cratic candidate for Governor of Ohio. In conver- sation concerning the prospects in that State he said two weeks ago he regarded the election of the democratic ticket as not only improbable but impossible, yet, 80 great has been the change in this short time, he now rey eit ascertain. The cam) in Connecticut is attracting some atten- tion. It is estimated that the number of liberal re- publicans there is sufficient to give the State to Greeley beyond doubt.

A meeting of the National Democracy was beld last night at Mozart Hall, in East Thirteenth street. The hall was crowded to excess. Resolutions were offered nominating Mr. John McCool for the Mayoralty. The resolutions were adopted With acclamation. A committee of twenty-two (one from each ward) was fe pate to notify Mr. McCool. Another committee of twenty-two was appointed to wait on the other democratic organizations and ask their co-operation.

The statements of the convicted canvas- ser, William Weldon, and those purporting to have been made by John McKenna, at whose house, 56 Atlantic street, the polis were held, as published in the HeraLp, were the sole topics of talk, and the opimion was expressed that more startling dis- closures are to follow. Ex-Auditor O’Brien, who has been implicated in the frauds by Thomas McGiff, another of the con- victed canvassers, stoutly denied any knowledge whatever of the traneactions. ALLEGED FORGERY OF AN AFFIDAVIT. The statement of McKenna to the effect that he had never told Weldon anything concerning O’Brien took the politicians somewhat by sarpries, but their wonderment was doubly increased When McKenna published a card denying that he had made the affidavit printed yesterd: to which his mame was subscribed and declaring that ‘the whole statement in reference to it was entirely false.” The affidavit in question alleged that alter Dunne and Keenan left the room in which the bal- lot boxes were, the night before the election, he saw ballots in those boxes, which previously were emp! .

Said he ‘lasked these men who knew about the frauds to say to the leaders of my party (Weldon is a repubiican) that I was inno- | cent; but they would not, fearing that if they did 80 they would compromise themselves, The result ie that I have had to suffer for the golty parties.

When Weldon was informed that McKenna had denied the authorship and all knowledge of the LDON SPEAK. amMdavits were made in the presence of United States District Attorney Tracy and Assistant United States District Attorney Catlin, McKenna had offered as an excuse for the delay in making the statements contained in his aMdavit, the fearing personal violence, | ‘He can’t get out of this case,’ said Weldon, confidently; “there are too many witnesses to show that he did make that affidavit.” ALDERMAN DUNNE AND PADDY KEENAN HELD TO BAIL. District Attorney Winchester Britton is deter- mined to fully investigate this matter at once. Yesterday morning he made application to Judge Neilson, of the City Court, for an order of arrest against Dunne and Keenan. The application was based on the following atidavit:— State op New York, county of Kings.—Winchester Britton, being daly sworn, says that he is informed, and. believes to be true, that James Dunne and Patrick Keenan on the 6th” of “November, 1871, did wiltully, wrongfully and corruptly put, or | cause to But, a large number of hallots’ of the kind to he voted at an election to be held in the Efghth Election dis- | trict of the Sixth ward of the city of Brookly: ou the 7th day of November, 1871, containing the name the persons to be elected st said clection, in the uned at said election, such ballots not having been vo by any person, but Were wholly false, fraudulent and 1 tious, WINCHESTER BRITTON, Sworn to before me the 30th day of September, 187].— A.

THE HARLEM COURT HOUSE. iy Tae eee The Keventh Day of the Investigation— Lively Tilt Between Counsel—Attempt to Remove the Court House—Genct Re- fuses to Give Testimony. Yesterday afternoon the Senate Committee—Sen- ators Weismann, Tiemann and Benedict—continued the investigation into the alleged frauds in build- ing the Harlem Court House, in the Library of the City Hall. The attendance of citizens was larger than on any previous day, and the tilts between counsel far more interesting than ever Mr. Adams, Mr. Genet’s particular friend, was there with his counsel, who was very anxious that Mr. Genet should be examined; but the last named gentleman decidedly objected, and his ob- jection was sustained. One of the witnesses ex- amined was a Mr. Spears, of Hariem. During his cross-examination he endeavored to remove the Court House from west to east of Sixth avenue, but it was too heavy and he decided to leave it where it is. He also said that he drove past the Court House because the driving in 128th street was better than that in any of the adjoining streets, which, of course, provoked much laughter from those who are acquainted with the street, inas- much as it is partly obstructed by the Court House materials, MR. SPEARS’ TESTIMONY. Mr. Spears was the first witness called. He said :— Tam a resident of Harlem and a builder by trade; have been a builder for twenty or twenty-five years; made an estimate as to the cost of building the Harlem Court House; my estimate was that the mason work could be done, including the iron beams, | Mead &c., for $39,161 31.

Cross-examined by Judge Waterbury—I examined the building four or five times, but never made a careful estimate until two weeks ago; I made measnrements of the Court House before; cannot tell what the date was; think it was about elec- tion time. Mr. Kitcbel—That is date enough. Genet remem- bers when election time was. Here Mr. Genet flared up, and intimated that an important member in Mr. Kitchel’s head might have cause to mourn for the fippancy of his tongue uniess he was less insulting. Cross-examination resained—I passed the Court. House because the driving in 128th street is better than any of the other streets; the Court House is east of Sixth avenue; I did not pass it every day; now that I think of it, the Court House is west of Sixth avenue; I used to see it from the Sixth ave. nue; there are shanties between it and the ave- nue, THOMAS WILSON'S TESTIMONY. Mr. Wilson said he had been a carpenter and builder for twenty or thirty years; made an esti- mate of the lumber and sheds around and belong- ing to the Court House; have the estimate with me; it states that the buildings, half wrought and raw lumber around the place are worth $5,409; the blacksmiths’ tools, anvil, furnace, beliows, &c., $485; this estimate was made last Fall; the estimate is from actual measurements; I made these estimates for the Twelfth Ward Taxpayers and Citizens’ Association, of which Iam a member; my estimate does not include the tron beams, only the black- smiths’ tools, shops, sheds and outhouses; there Were no tools around the place except those [ have mentioned; | cannot say how many windows there were in the building, but 1 saw frames for twenty or twenty-five windows in front of one of the sheds, Mr. B.

A friend of his, however, stated that he could not ee as he had to attend the funeral of a end. Mr. Genet was next called. He said he would answer through counsel. Mr. Waterbury said that Mr. Genet did not feel disposed to answer. He, being the counsel for the Commission, thought it would be time enongh for him to speak when all the others who were interested had been examined. Mr. Parsons said that when the questions were put it would be time enough to decide whether or not he should answer thenf, and also that the Commission cr counsel would no} ik him to betray the confidence placed 1) im by ft Court louse be we Senator eismahn coinciged jast op’ ot and forthwith pro- pogsed to administer the oath; Wy Mr, Genet F¢- fidéd, point blank, to take the oath of give any tes- | timony unless advig« to do so by his counsel, Judge Waterbury said Mr. Genet should nt Swen .

The stabies already on the grounds are those of Messrs. Belmont, Weldon, Withers, O'Donnell, Dona- hue, Morrissey, Jennings, McDaniel & Co., Franklin, Walden, Jerome, Pennock, Bowie, Harbeck, Hall, Betl, Buckley, Davis, String- field & Co., Thompson, Littell, Coar, Cof- fee, Tully, Dawson, Shea, Bacon & Holland, Babcock, Chamberlin, Hunter & Travers, San- ford, Morris, Lioyd, and perhaps others not remem- bered. A few others are expeoted from distant poe. On the first day (Wednesday, 2d of October) there will be six races and the sport will be brilliant. For the first race, the Mavhattan Handicap, ove mile and a quarter, twenty entries, sixteen ac- ceptances, twelve are set down as probable start- ers, and a rattling race it will be—such horses as Preakness, Ortolan, Tubman, Monarchist, Mary Louise, Ac., being among the business lot. ‘The second race—the Jerome Stakes—for three- year-olds, two miles, will bring out a good field, in- cluding Meteor, King Ernest, True Blue, Hubbard, Jo Daniels, Mate, Wade Hampton and the brother to James A. Connolly. ‘The victorious Jo Daniels will, doubtless, be first favorite; but he will find this contest quite a serious affair. ‘The third race will be the Nursery Stakes, for two- year-olds, one mile, of the fifty entries for which no less than twenty-two are set down as probable starters. Should near this number actually go, it will be an exhibition never before witnessed in this country, and the race will create intense interest. ‘Those expected to run are:—Count D’Oraay, Bread- albane colt, Eclipse colt, out of Mollie Jackson; brother to Maiden, Reviler, Strachino, Luna, ness, The Nurse, Katy Pease, Galway, Wizzard, Wild-idie, Felloweraft, Beacon colt, out of Maiden; Lightning colt, out of Jessamine Porter; Stone- henge, Marsyas colt, out of Marchioness; Catesby, and Planet colt out of Rebecca T. Price. What a lot! ‘The fourth race is a private sweepstakes, $500 each, half forfeit, four miles, fer foals of 1868, which is in advance credited to Mr. Withers’ fine filly Elsie, by Leamington, out of Babta (Glenelg’s dam). ‘The fifth race will be a spin of three-quarters of a mile, for all ages, purse $400, the entries tor which will be made the evening before the race, ‘There will be a great flock entered for it. ‘The sixth and Jast race will be a handicap steeple chase, for which the following are the entries:— Blind Tom, 165 lbs.; Tammany, 155 1bs.; Lobelia, 147 Ibs. ; King John, 145 Ibs,; Astronomer, 143 }bs, ; Sorrel Dan, 143 Ibs.; Mary Hennessey, 137 Ibs., and Lochinvar, 130 Ibs, This should make a capital race and a proper finale for 80 grand a day’s sport as the programme promises, ‘The weather clerk will please accommodate the anxious public with a fine day.
