————— % BLAIN GREELEY AGAIN ON THE WIN —~——+ Journey Vesterday to Lyons Station, Pa. The Philosopher Announces that He Is Not on Exhibition. An Agricultural Address To Be Delivered To-Morrow. — Lyons STATION, Pa., Oct. 1, 1672, Mr. Greeley started quietly from New York yester- @ay at one o'clock, having nobody slong as & speciai friend ana taking with him none of the ‘eeedful accessories of & campaign except his time- onored black carpet-bag. He trudged caimly from #he ferry to the cars, tumbled his carpet-bag on an ‘opposite seat and then pulled out a bundie of papers for perusal. General Kilpatrick, who was bound for Reading on the same train, discovered the Philos- opber amd joined him as far as Topton, Pa., where their roads diverged. . As-usual a few work hands in the railroad depot and loiterers were at ‘every station to sce the old hero, and at Summers- Ville there was such a crowd that the ojd gentleman eould not in politeness refuse the calls for a shake efthe hand, Then they ; DEMANDED A 8Y°RECH,- Wut this the Philosopher, in the following discourse, | studiously declined to zive:— LADIES AND GENTLEMEN—I am going down into Berks county, Pennsylvania, to deliver an agricul- vara) address, and I don’t iike to mix agricuiture with politics. J am going to talk about farming to old farmers, and I can’t talk about politics to any- body. 1 thank you for your kindness, . The Philosopher had delivered these few word from his accustomed position on the rear of the car, and at the conciusion withdrew to his seat again, where a stream of Summerevilie passed through to shake hands with and congratulate him. ‘When the train was fairly under way again the Sage betook himself to NAPPING, ‘but at one station he was rather rudely awakened by a rustic on the platform outside, who rapped on = glass and said to the oid gentleman in excited “Say, where is Greeley ? I want to see him.” “Well,” said the cooi-headed Sage, settling back | for another nod, “i am Greeley, but I am not on exhibition.” At another station he was awakened by the brakeman crying out, - “WHITR HOUSE |? “Mr. Greeley,” #aid & genticman present, “here {8 & suggestive Ktation for you. You ought to get @ut and stop here.” “Well, I didn’t think we had reached it yet,” re- wited the Philosopher; “but I knew it was on this Av EASTON A committee of the burgesses of Kutztown met the Philosopher and took him in charge. They were headed Hy. Thomas D, Fister, H. H. Swartz, L, K. Hottenstein and Mr. beturk, President of the Berks County Fair Association, who saw him, safely and satisfactorily to the worthy Dutch town which they assured him was honored by his presence. The litle town, true enonsh, was Dutch to the vackbone. The Te ey of Holiand, somewhat completed by American association, is still the Janguage of Berks, and the liills and tne absence of siykes and canals alone mar the resembiance. The dresses of the women, the long Rises of the men, | and the kindly hospitality and phlegmatic coolness | of the original Hollanders are ali here. The supper | we had to-night was mainly sausage, Berks county | Sausage, and the hotel at which we linger files a | Dutch style swinging sign, the ‘Pennsylvania House,’ in front, while the proprietor, with a good old Dutch cognomen of Kutz, bears the broad good- | humored face and talks the homely lingo of his an- | cestry across the water two centuries ago, On ' ARRIVAL aT THE DEPOT j @ crowd of about one thousand people greeted the | Chief with three rousing cheers, ali that their phiegmatic disposition would rouse to during the ‘whole evening; but they honored the Old Chief in other ways more acceptable to him, perhape, and certainly more consonant with the kindly disposi- | tion of the burghers themselves. As he came into | the crowd one handsome young fraulein gave him | @ posy. Two or three smalicr Katrinas moved | about him with flags in their hands, and the worthy | Jandsmen gathered about and gazed with honest admiration upon his fine proportions. A LONG LINE OF CARIIAGES, 4a which, it must be confessed, a Yankee spirit of advertising had innocently obtruded itself 6o far as to include at least six sewing machine wagons with firm names on the sides ip large letters, was Jormed and awaiting him with a fine brass band, all in red uniforms, at the head, and in the rear car- riage of this procession Mr. Greeley rode through the street of the old Dutch town. The carriages were all decorated, and the two fiery black Berks county horses that drew Mr. Greeley’s sacri’ wore white and black plumes on their heads. On the route the sidewalks were crowded and murmurs of approbation passed among the “Yacobs” and “Gertrudes” as the face of the liberal hero pre- pented iteelf. FLOWERS AND BOUQUETS ‘were showered upon him, and the floor of his ie | rgd The riage was literally goyered with these fragr; tmonials presented ty the He raul n forward by orpitions fathers and mother, grocesdion in this comfortable way, passed out to he residewiée of Mr. Fisten, on the outskirts of the city, which was handsomely illuminated, the | rounds being lighted by Chinése lanterns and the teway being capped by an arch of welcome, Here | _, MR. GREELEY DisMotinTED, apd, amid the tts of the band and the ap- roving gutteralx of the burghers, entered the jouge, Where he had supper, and afterwards held a very brilliant reception. To-morrow he will visit the fair ani deliver his address. E:; Peto seek Sees An Utter Denial of the Pacific Ra‘lroad Charges— My, Greeley Arraigned as a Slanderer— Unpurchased and Unpurchasable, CLEVELAND, Ohio, Oct. 11972, | Speaker Blaine made a speech at Public square to-night, in the course of which he alluded in the tollowing words to the personal charges made against him :— In the New York Trivune of Saturday last, and also of yesterday, lam charged, not only as a Rep- resentative in Congress, but also as Speaker of the House, with having received $1,930,000 of the stock of the Eastern Division of the Pacific Rajlread Com- pany for my services and influence in procuring the e of the origina! Pacific Railroad bill of 1862, ‘he 7ribune gives the date of the act in the same article in which i aber the charge, not seeming to notice in its bind desire to assatl me that it was simply convicting itself cn falsehood and of foil Now, gentiemen, please observe that in 1862, wn ‘this act was passed, I had not taken my seat fh Con- Es Thad not been elected to Congress; indeed, 1 ad not been even nominated for Cohgress. When the act to which the 7ridune refers became a law I wi member of the Maine Legislature and Speaker of the lower House. I had no more to do with Con- Fmd legislation than the tish-wardens and ide-waiters on the Keunebec River, and yet the New York Tribune asserts and repeats that for ay services und influence in Congress at the time was & member of the Maine Legislature I received wearily two million dollars in stock of & great railroad corporation. And now, genti men, if 1 were to stop here, after demonstrating the utter absurdity of this charge, the 7rioune ‘would come out coolly and say that Speaker Blaine had aot denied it. Let me, then, deny it in the eee of this yast assemblage, and deny it in @ most cmphatic manner. Neither in 1862 nor in any subsequent year did I even recetye or own, di- rectly or indirectly, a single dollar of stock in the Eastern Division of the Union Pacific Railroad Company or any other division of the Pacific Rail- road Company; nor did I even receive a doliar, directly or indirectly, from the sale of any stock of that company. In short, gentlemen, | stamp the whoie story as not only false on its face, but absurd and ridiculous. But I do not expect to make a denial that will satisfy the Trivune, A few ‘weeks since, when the story was started that Sec- retary Boutwell, Vice-President Colfax, Senator ‘Wilson, Mr. Garfield, Mr. Dawes and myself, and others, had been bribed by presents of stock in the Credit Mobilicr, I published a card on the eve of the Maine election, saying I had never owned, directly or jndirectiy, through myself or alba be another, @ single dollar of stock in the Credit Mobilier. The New York 7ribune pronounced this denial evasive end unsatisfactory, and said I did not deny that I had received divittends or profits therefrom. Any candid map,I think, could see that my card was Intended to be exhaustive, and to exclude | forehand to “go in” for Havemeyer. | Inain,” was the substance of the dictumof the NEW YORK HERALD, WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER 2, 1872—TRIPLE SHEET, am chairman of the State Committee order every dollar of the funds of that ‘was disbursed, and from first to lagi we ve im ali contro! of but little more than \d doliare; and I further assert that this amount was expended either in akers, distribution of documents home Of absent voters, eeoounte of the State Committee are kept These ith rigid exactness, and the entire committee of Biateem: men. will. testify to the Gerer of the republicans of gallant and true men as ever cast ap unpur- ith of what} therefore, ae a slan- ‘Maine—a party of as and unpurchaseabie vote. A Gathering of “Reformers” Whe Represent Themselves at the Fifth Avenue Hotel Last Night—What They Did and How They Did It—A Nomination for Mayor and a General Bolt. There was rather an extraordinary gatnerng at the Fifth Avenue Hotel last night. It was brought together in parlor F—which stands for Foley and Many other things in the fee-io-fum line—and was said to be, by those who didn’t know anything at ail about what the gathering meant to do before it Went home, a “reform” assemblage. The meeting was @ seoret one. A big man—no relation of Foley's, by the way—stood guard at the entrance and bade defiance to everybody who attempted to pass the threshold unfertificd by Foley’s auto- graphic open sesame. By eight o’clock there were five “reformers” in the room, and as many cigars. They waited patiently for more of the same kind of reformers, and they waited long. However, by nine o'clock there were ten present, and a little after nine this formidable number was increased hands with everybody else as he en- tered, and then sat down to await the good plea- sure of the Ixion of the occasion—Mr. John Foiey— who, in all the glory of his new suit of reform clothes, was a complete representation, minus the Petticoats, of the immortal Mrs. Fezziwig, who was always a ‘vast, substantial amile.”’ Through the con- descension of the big man at tne door it was learned that the Municipal Reform, the Council of Municipal Reform, the Young Men’s Democratic Keform and the German Reform Associations were represented in the gathering. This fact once known to the HERALD reporter he became @ reformer at once, and #0 got into the secrets of THE STAR CHAMBER. First and foremost there came up the question ae to who was who in the meeting. Thie was a mo- Meutous query fora mass meeting: of filteen to decide; but, of course, Mr. Foley’s claims were paramount to everybody else’s, as he not oniy re- presented all the reform “up town’—wherever that is—but represented himself also, which was 10 small matter, in his opinion at least. So he took the chair. Then Mr. Freeborn took the foor; b be it said, not until the Young Men's Democratic Reform Association were made to leave the room, because they were a “political association,” or, to put it more aceurately, because the representa- tives, Williamson, Kilbreth, Oliver, John A. Foley and Thompson, would not pledge themselves be- ‘You can re- Grand Mogul of the occasion, “if you are for Hav: meyer; but if you ain't for him, why you're A POLITICAL ASSOCIATION and you must get out.” And the young men not anxious to pledge themselves did get out. This little ripple on the surface of the re- form wave once settled down, Mr. Freeborn drew a long breath and moved that the meeting proceed to nominations for Mayor. At this Foley smiled a smile which the Heathen Chinee, who | didn’t get euchred, would have given his trump card to be able to imitate to perfection, and then looked approvingly at the mass meeting. He evidently felt that peace would reign supreme around THE COUNCIL BOARD, But he was mistaken. Mr. Koehler, of the Ger- man rejormers, got up and declared that to nomi- nate anybody for Mayor then and there would be | eer | matters,” and he, for one, would not be a party to it, and for this reason: there shouid be only two candidates in the field, ‘and every vote not cast for one regular cand- date would have to be counted for Jimmy O'Brien. This raised the dander of the other’ Germans, and Mr. Uhl followed in a like strain and declared that if the meet- ing went into nominations he would have to withdraw. The sense of the meeting being then ascertained in favor of making a nomination the Germans at once withdrew. This withdrawal, added to the absence of the Young Men’s Demo- cratic Reform party, very naturally ijeft the mass ed, like a martyr, at the after making a very bi mistake. the play went on, and Mr. Havemeyer was nominated. Foley got up to cail for three cheers, but not being able to find his hat to “swing round the circle,” he simply made a few remarks, and then the following com- mittee was appointed to call upon Mr. Havemeyer and tender him the nomination for Mayor, tendered by @ mass meeting, which, of course, represented one heey votes, ang of a3 three or four privileged characters Wi were allowed to foat about the rooni Unereacntialen % THB COMMITTEE.

Democratic Headquarters. A large number of visitors were present at there headquarters yesterday, and the campaign is being carried on with much encrgy. The Committee is in receipt of numerous letters from Pennsylvania stating that the last experiment of the republican managers, the pardon of Yerkes, has materially in- creased the chances of Buckalew, as its object is too palpable to deceive even the most confiding. All the more prominent speakers, whose services have been jee at the disposal of the Committee, are now in Pennsylvania. - The following is @list of the more prominent vis- itors:—Fernando Wood, C.

STEWART ON GREELEY. | “The Merchant Prince’s” Views on Routwell, the Government and Horace. He Never Could See Any of Boutwell’s Policy. Greeley’s Election Will Produce No Financial Difficulty. LET CONGRESS REGULATE THE TARIFF. Within the past few weeks there have been in cir- culation numerous conflicting statements respect- ing the opinions of Mr. Alexander T. Stewart with regard to the effect which Mr. Greeley’s election would have upon the financial interests of the country. These reports have reached some of the European newepapers, and have, of course, been redistributed by them over the fnancial and commercial centres of Europe; and as it was not unreasonably assumed . that Mr. Stewart's judgment in financial and commercial matters is very sensitive, owing to the vast interests he has ‘at stake, the yumore attracted no little attention, by Mr. Stewart had been seen in any American paper, a HrraLp reporter was directed yesterday afternoon to cai! upon the great merchant and request from him, if agreeable, some statement on the subject. The reporter accordingly virited Mr. Stewart's downtown warehouse, at Broadway and Chambers street, and, having sent up his card, was shortly atterwards directed to Mr, Stewart's private office, where “the warehouse prince’ was seated, a8 Usual, among letters and papers in large numbers, but al disposed in regular method on the desk im the order in which they are to be at- tended to. Mr. Stewart glanced quietly and kindly over the tops of his gold-bowed specta- eles and bya light wave of his hand invited the reporter to be seated. After ropidly looking over one or two additional documents he took off his spectacies, turned in bis chatr so as to face the re- Barter, put usked the particular nature or object of he vielt, and whether he could be of any service ? REPORTER—MY. Stewart, you are probably aware of the existence of an impression in the public mind, and which is sought to be strengthened to aid the administration mterests in the coming election, that the elevation of Mr. Greeley to the Legeetnayti would lead to results adverse to the financial interests of the mercantile community and of the country generally. I have been directed by the HERALD to call upon you, sir, to learn | whether it is agreeable to you to make public your views apon the subject. Mr. STEWaRT—What is it you want to know ? REPORTER—Well, we want to know whether you look forward to Mr. Greeley’s election as likely to produce uneasiness and financial difficulty in the financial world? Mr. SrEWwaRT—I do not. ainiculty? RepontER—Well, it is said that Mr. Greeley’s peculiar financial views would be the reverse of Why should it lead to Mr. SrEwaRT—Can you tell me what are the views of Mr. Boutwell? I never could learn that he had any special views or policy. 1 supposed his course was controlied by his judgment of existing circumstances. far as his policy consists in purchasing, at a large premium, government bonds not yet due, I think the sooner that is terminated the better for the country; and the sooner it is understood that the government intends Carpet upon 4 policy which at some future ume, no matter how remote, will lead to resumption of specie payments, the better it will be for every- body. Continuing the course that has been pur- sued the last four years will never lead us to specie payments, but leaves every mer shant at the mercy of gold gamblers. KREPORTER—Then yon have no fear that the elec- be of Mr. Greeley Will produce any financial diffi- culty Mr. Srrwant—None whatever. REPORTER—What do you think of his present views on the tariff question? Would they not, if carried out by a change of the tarifl, lead to some contusion with the merchants ? Mr. STEWART—Not at all. On the contrary, I think Mr, Greeley leaves that question where it always ehould be left—with the people, through their members of Congress, uncon- trolie by party dictation. I have always contended that the tariff Jaws, to which our country looks for ite revenue, should be dic- tated wholly by rules of equity and justice, and so as to bear equally in their application upon all in- terests and all classes. Take off the party whip, allow the members of Congress to consult the gen- | eral interests of their respective constituents in framing the tariff jaws, and I believe we would find every Interest much better served and protected than it now Is, It was now almost six o'clock, and as it was evi- dent that Mr. Stewart was about to leave his office, his carriage being already in waiting at the door, are yeporter, after expressing his thanks, wiih- rew. THE MAYORALTY. wigs Mr. Smith E. Shaw Accepts the Municipal Reformers Nominaticn=He Will Have an Honest Administration, &, The number of disinterested saviors of the city and the State which spring up about election times is something really remarkanle. They are like mushroome in ap Irish meadow ona May or April morning—they grow up in the night and are cooked in the morning. Jnet now there are muni. cipal reformers, because reform is more popular and better paying than any other name. Last night arty of reformers met in 907 Broadway. A cotipié of weeks ago they had nominated a man who, upon their own showing, is as innocent of politics ae a child—Mr. Smith F. puay; nd ipst night he accepted the nomination, and, not being used to the yoke he felt It engin | hard upon his pega gi re has Leeun An re eh eo down ne heavily already he probably get from under before Wurember ‘ Mr. Shaw's innocence of politics wae not quite so apparent aiter he had accepted the nomination and told the Convention that he had been canvassing the city for six months and found many ready to suppor! a reform candidate. He announced his in- tention to “yush into print’ and let the people of New York kn er: WHat hie REFORM PLATFORM 19 made of and what they dcsign to do, » Mr. ALSETT, Who occupled the chair, helped to “kill time’ until the nominee was ready to be i troduced, He reviewed the operations of the King—a rather threadbare subject at this date— | and eulogized the victorious reformers of last year, But it was very evident their victory is not yet compiete, for in the appointment of inspectors of election they are sending strangers into districts where they know no one and nobody knows them: eo that fraud will be comparatively eary, unless the polls and the baliot-boxes are well watched. He, of course, enlogized Mr. Shaw, their candidate, @ successful business man, and one against whose reputation nothing evil can be said. With him as # standard bearer the ueual success must follow. The men who had robbed our city Lid millions ave not dead yet, but are ven to do their work over again, if they get a chance, Mr. HAVERsTapr read an extract from a recent editorial In the HERALD on the qualifications for a Mayor of New York for the next two years, and Mr, Shaw exactly fitted the niche as if he had been made for it, and the 6th of next November would give him @ majority against which it would he folly to contend. ‘The dishonest men who have itherto ruled New York are not dead, but the work of REFORM MUST GO FORWARD until they were not only dead but buried deep, and their tombstone erected, and on tt he would inacribe the lines :— While you lived you lived in clover, And when you died you died all over.

THE LIBERAL DEMOCRACY. Enthusiastic Meeting at New Ro- chelle Yesterday. Speech by 8S. 8. Cox—A Panegyric of tiree- ley and a Plea for Purity and Reform, The liberal democracy of New Rochelle held an enthusiastic meeting last evening in New Town Hall, and addresses were delivered by a number of speakers, and among the rest by Hon. 8, 8, Cox, W. A. Niles, Judge Cochrane and Thomas R. Fisher, The meeting having been called to order, Mr. Cox discussed the necessity of a real and not an ostentatious reform, and r an analysis of both piatfor and the overruling reasons which compelled the alliance of the best heart and in- tellect of the country to rescue the government from its spoilei proceeded to say that he had rare! uestioned on his record, although it consisted of twelve years of vigilant service in the federal Legislature. Where he had been chal- len by his accomplished competitor, Mr. Tre- mal, ra would show an unusual, lucky and prophetic vote and ech on every ic, financial and constitutional. Almost the fir question he had to meet in Congress, when iffexperienced and young, was the question of largesses and subsidies to railroads and ships. Per! he had been unwise; but he was educated to believe that the least government consistent, with security was the best, and that matters of trausportation and other business would in the end be better transacted if disconnected with govern- ment, -Hence he had always-—even nat the ressure of friends, relatives and honest believers in government aid to private corporations and per- sonus—voted against such schemes. While he was loath to believe what Is said of our leading p men, he could only say that his democratic cestry “and education’ ‘(to quote Mr. main) led. him to distrust all for private eed at the publ He had oiten said in his place that 6 Tre. combinations expense, schemes, especially the plausible railroad schemes with gov- ernment lands and bonds to aid them, would be- come “running sores.” He had been often chal- lenged, abused, almost cursed, for his adherence to one rule of public conduct, fixed in the democratic creed; to help no one class or corporation, how- ever plausible the device, when it was at the ex- pense of the public. During the war he had sus- tained the government. Whatever others might say, his record on all the main points was con- sistent. From the time he denounced secession, in February, 1861, when his competitor was otherwise, until the extraordinary session in July, 1861, when he uttered the eulogy on Judge Douglas, and uutil 1865, when he voted to censure the sentiment of an Ohio member favoring secession—in all i emergencies, whether when he carried bis joint | resolution for exchange of prisoners or when he gave bis heartiest support to Generais MeClelian and Grant, by vote and voive, he had endeavored | always to lean on the side of thé government and its unity. He had done so. No partisan advocate could rob him of his patriotic record, To be sure, he was bound, as @ member of the “constitutional opposition,’’ to oppose the excesses of power, Power tended to aggrandize itsell, In | war times, especially, this tendency was apparent and vigorous. It was then that he urged the recog- nition.af personal and public freedom, especially in States Where war was not flagrang against the abuses of the administration, Along with Winter Davis and othets he had en- deavored to protest against the eciipse of public liberty. When General Dix, for a paitry pretext, throtilea two newspapers for a night in the city of New York, he offered thix resolution. It bears date May 20, 1864, and wfil be found in No, 65 of the Glove, page 2,391: Mr, Cox—I ask loavg to offer the following resolution Resolved, That the forcible setzure by the federal m: tary authorities at New York of the offices ot the New Y World and Journal y Commerce, and the sus those papers or the innocent publication of State paper, jean act anwarranted by the circumstances connected with sald publication, an arbitrary outrage on the constitutional rigBts of citizens, and deserves the re- Bropatioh of every friend of public liberty and private | rights. ‘a forged This resolution was tabled with insolence and j ignorance. The public mind wa%ycailous t@ such exhibitions of personal matice In the name of ve against a free prers, One reason why he | (Mr. Cox) had been so hospitably received in the | great city of refuge, which he now represented in Congress, Was that he was ever wakeful ta the in- terests of freedom—commercial, personal and con- stitutional. Let not those who run away from the discharge of duty call him in question. | It wae objected to hima that he did not vote for the sens abolishing slavery. Well, as Mr. Sqwar tifled in his Auburn speeon in 1868, he (gr, Cox; carried the amendment, if he did not ve for it. He secured the two-thirds, Why he id not vote for it was owing to the inopportune time of its presentation. It wae presented at the very hour that Hunter, Campbell and Stephens met Lincoln and Seward at General Grant's head- quarters’ to treat for peace and union; and as slavery was aiready killed by the ballot he felt more concern for the stopping of Le ees aL than for the mere empty abstract ceremonial burying the dead corpse of slavery. That amend- ment at that juncture was, as lie feared, an im- pediment to peace ang alo. Since the War he had been first and foremost for | amnesty, He had introduced resolutions and bile. | His bilis were general, He pleased for grace without out memories and amnesty He was firet in yee field of gen- erosity and forgiveness. Horace Greeley was not laggard. | He (Mr. had quoted In hie speeches | Use remarkable statement from Mr, Greeiey’s book. The conclusion from the statement ia irrefragable.

A Large and Enthusiastic Meeting of German Citizens—The Administration Denounced, and its Corruption Exposed. The meeting at the Cooper Institute last might ‘was @ complete success, As it was announced that Carl Schurz would speak in German, few but Ger- mans were present, and as @ natural consequence the applause at each of the Senator's hits was loud and prolonged. When the Senator, in the course of hig remarks, would ask @ question, the whole house, with a unanimity of sentiment, would yell out—"Yes!” or “No!”, as the case might be. Inthe course of his speech Senator Schurz mentioned Grant’s name in full, with particular emphasis, and several parties on the east of the hall began to cheer, When the cheering had ceased the Sena- tor asked was the cheering for Grant, @ deafening “Nein” went up, through the noise of which a few faint, almost inaudible “Yas” could be heard, Schurz, who by this time had been saying many hard things against the administration, asked if any of “these Grant-cheering minions” could refute any one statement ne had made.. Several jumped to their feet, but the yelling of the others in the hall frightened them to silence and the speaker Went on. When he said that General Farnsworth, Of Illinois, had asked Grant what a certain passage in his message meant and that Grant had answered “I don’t know Morton put that in,” there were roars of mages Schurz’s speech oc- cupied a little more thah two hours, but in all that time he did not talk idly for a moment. He looked and talked like a manin earnest; he was brimful of his subject, and his speech was extempore, His influence with the German people is to be accounted for by hig remarkable eloquence in his mother bi ne, who listened to him last night were likely to go away with the belief that Grant's ad- ministration was very corrupt. The hall was packed, and thonsands went away disappointed at not being able to hear the great Missourl Senator, At the stand outside there were several speeches made, but the auditors were fo fe Mut the lights were extinguished and the speech- ng stopped long before Senator Schurz had concluded his speech, BENATOR SCHURZ'S SPERBCH, ‘The Senator spoke in substance as follows :— FRIENDS AND Crtizens—I thank you heartily for this kind and enthusiastic reception, and I see by it that you are toa man interested in the same cause as self, Istand before you aman who has thrown to the winds his personal and political in- tereste, in order to take the stand I e taken against one of the most defunct and rotten administrations that has ever cursed a peo- He Tread this morning that Mr. Conkling thinks ‘hat the best policy is to leave well enongh alone; which, of course, on. means to let the Grant policy go Hut iet us see whether it is best to let this policy go on, Let us first look at the South, which since #lavery has been abolished, has been cursed with’ @ scourge more terrible than war, J have reference to the myriad legions of lecherous ¢Carpet-baggers, who have been since that time sepping up the financial life of these States. hese car- pet-bi re are the protégés of the administration ington, From the ravages of these men retarded and the South now lies panting and weak- ened. Conklin, who opposed me in the French arms affair, accuses me of being unloyal to the republican party; but God knows thie is false, for no one ever imired or supported re- prbiican principles as faithfully as I. But do not think that malfeasance in office is one of the party principles, and #0 I am read out. A few months ago the republican papers thought me one of the most honest and best men in the party. Now that I have spoken against the administration they calumniate and villify me in their scurrilous sheets. The utter contempt of our Chief Magistrate for the constitution has not been without a damaging el- fect upon the young mind of the country. If Andrew Johnson had but attempted to do what Grant has done Johnson would have been im- peached., The last Congress passed a law stating that all commissioned officers should go to their regiments; but Grant, in direct violation of this law, Keeps them in the employ of the administration as clerks and secretaries, so ‘0 that they may be able to work for his re-election. New York has had a sample of corruption and mal- feasance in office when under the rule of the Tam- many Ring, but the robberies of this Ring are merely child’s play when compared with the gigantic frauds of the present administration. The attempt to re- elect Grant means to keep the South where she is at present. In a conversation a short time ago” with General Farnsworth, of Illinois, he told me that he had asked General of a certain passage in his Message. The President answered, “I don't know what that means. Morton put that in.” M. friends, believe me when I tell you in all truth that if Grant is re-elected for four years you will be the poorest people on God’s earth. Do not delude Fpl into the belief that you will beat him y remaining idle. The effort is one that will re- quire ail pe energy. The lavoring classes of your clty are those who will elect Greeley, for the iner- chante are afraid to declare for Greeley, as the hands of the Custom House officials are on their threats, and If they once say Greeley they are liable to lose both their business and fortunes by having their goods detained in the Custom House. When the Senator finished he was cheered to the echo, Mr. Krachhimer and Mr. Sackerdorf both made speeches, and concluded by proposing three cheers for Greeley and Brown, Which were rousingly given.

The General Committee of Tammany Hal) met last’ night at the Wigwam, Fourteenth street. Nearly, every district in the city was represented by its en-! tire delegation, All the present Sachems and all| the notabilities of reformed Tammany were pres-! ent. When the doors were thrown open a rush was made for seats, but no one was admitted who had not a ticket of membership, Mr. John W. Chanler, the chairman of the genes) ral committee, called the meeting to order, and Mr.) William Walsh presented the report of the com4 mittee on organization in the Third, Fourth, Seventh, Eighth, Ninth, Tenth, Twelfth, Sixteent and Seventeenth districts, about whose fidelity tol the interests of Taummany Hall question had been! raised, 5 THIRD DISTRICT, The report of the Third district set forth that. tl committee of that istrict was equally divided, bu that ail were energetically supporting the nom! nations of Tammany Hall. The report recommen that no action be taken with the district excep as to the primaries. Each division is to have the Appointing of an inspector at the primaries, andl the general committee is to appoint a third. A CLEAN SWEEP ' With regard to the Fourth district, the report/ stated, upon thorough investigation, that it waa found impossible to harmonize the committee-jp that district, and recommended that ALL THE SEAT3 ofthe present delegates be declared vacant. Im the Seventh district the report said that after close) scrutiny and careful examination it was foun that the charges made agamst individuals in th district were untrue. In the Eighth and Ninth districts the reports recommended that no action was needed, In the Tenth district the Committee on Organtza- tion found that the charges made against indivi- duals were untrue, Jn the Twelfth district the seat of Frederick Wep« per was declared vacant, In the Sixteenth district the seats of Patrick’ McMullen and Philip O'Hanlon were declared va- cant. 5 At this stage Mr. McMULLEN, who occupied prominent seat, jumped to his feet and moved thai that part of the report which related to the Six. teenth district be struck ont.

When I came home I went before the sub-com- mittee on organization which met that evening. Three or four score gentlemen know me here and l could not go for O’Brien, Here Mr. ACKHART, another delegate from tha Sixteenth district, bounced up. He said that the present committee from the Sixteenth was a) inted by the committee of seven last spring.| ey Were never elected.

He concluded by saying that he would STAND OR FALL BY SAMUEL J, TILDEN, , Here the veteran ‘‘Sawtvei,’’ who was attracted to the front by the energy of the speaker, “blushes and fell back.” HARRY GeNet—I would like to know what charge has been made against Mr, McMullen?

These charges he has denied, and yet notwithstanding the denial I have no hesitation im saying that they were proven Lo the @atisfaction of our committee. He says he OWES FVERY DOLLAR TO TWEED, and this fact dione renders him unsuitable to be a member of the Tammany Hall Committee. The entleman from the Twenty-first (Genet) stultifies fimselt by putting his name to a report te the adoption of which he alterwards offers an amend- ment.
