TAMMANY HALL. Ratification Meeting in the Cooper Institute. ABRAHAM R, LAWBENCE FOR MAYOR Fireworks and Patriotic Speeches. —_+—__—_ Addresses by John Kelly, A. B. Lawrence, P. Corbett, Levi P. Morton, J. 8 po Thayer and Others. Last evening the great hall of the Cooper Instt- tute, mow become famous in the history of this city as the forum from which political agitators and’ aspirants for office send forth their appeals to the public for patronage in the shape of votes, was the goeneof another mass meeting. This gathering ‘was Reld'in the interest of the Tammany ticket, and more especially for the, purpose of endorsing the nomination of Mr. Abraham R. Lawrence for Mayor. This gentleman, whose friends declare that hia chances of being elecved are good, is able and educated, and well qualified for the position of Mayor. Judging from the appearance of the mect- Ing Mr. Lawrence has @ many friends who would be anxious to see him elevated to the posi- tion ef Chief Magistrate of the great Empire City. At half-past seven o'clock all the seats were filled. Avery good portrait of Mr. Lawrence was placed * over the President’s chair, and close to this picture were suspended cards showing the names of those who had received the nomination of Tammany for public office. There was no display of flags or ban- ners ip the ball, but no doubt there were present many who had fought on several desperate battle to sustain the national standard, Mr. John Kelly was nominated as President of the meeting. Mr. KELLY congratulated them on this large meeting. The meetings he had attended for the. last ten days were almost as large as this. This was a proof that the people understood THE QUESTION OF THE MAYORALY, and were determined to elect the Hon. Abraham Lawrence, (Cheers.) The reform party, if they were in earnest for reform, should have sup- ported Mr. Lawrence; but they would not support him because he would not support Grant (hisses) or Dix (hisses). Mr. Havemeyer, ‘against whom he would not say a word, was now too far advanced in life to attend to the duties of Mayor, and certain he was that he would not make a better Mayor than Abraham R. Lawrence. «Cheers.) Mr. Lawrence had made MUNICIPAL REFORM AND MUNICIPAL LAW the study of his life. (Cheers.) They should attend to this matter with care. The people knew how the question stood, and they intended to elect A. R. Lawrence, (Cheers.) He then introduced Mr. Lawrence. ADDRESS OF MR. LAWRENCE, Mr. Lawrence on coming forward was greeted with enthusiastic cheers, A Vo1ce—Three cheers for our next Mayor. (Cheers.) Mr. LAWRENCE said the remarks he had to make to-night would refer to municipal matters. He haa been engaged for the last two weeks in speaking to his fellow citizens, and he had now the pleasure of saying that he was met at this mee! with the same eee, he had met with the Assembly districts. THE GOVERNMENT OF THE CITY had not been enounn rrcrked, and one of the it qi be led in this election was e want of ity labored muy.and union and the evils the under. Each man had his remedy. He jeved the great trouble Was in complications, THE POWE!

These charters secured the Beene, rights of the city, and he thought that tare charters should express the special duties Ce powers of each official. The charter of New ‘ork showid describe, in brief but comprehensive THE POWERS OF PUBLIC OFFICERS. it the charter did not confer on the Mayor proper wers. It should hold the Mayor responsible for act of any official under him who did wrong. In any charter hereafter to be passed the Mayor should have the right of SUPERVISING THE ACTS OF ALL OFFICIALS under him, 80 that if they did wrong he would be held responsible. (Cheers.) With regard to the juestion of patie improvements, he said :—‘‘Shall yy be carried forward or stopped? They should be carried forward, not only for the health and recreation of the people, but for the expansion of the city and to give employment. (Cheers.) He was in favor of carrying out those improvements, economically, of course, but carried out so that New York should become, as she was destined to come, SHE MOST LOVELY AND BEAUTIFUL CITY IN THE WORLD. Cheers.) In reference to the question of rapid transit irom the northern to the southern side of the city, he said that the want of such transit was driving capital away. (Cheers.) He was in favor of such transit. Men now who ran for office said they were reformers. (Laughter.) He claimea to be areformer. He wasa REFORMER IN THE HIGHEST SENSE Jong before the gentlemen now claiming to be such had given themselves that character, He believed reform was not parsimony or meanness. He believed in paying honest claims and rejecting unjust and dishonest ones. (Cheers.) He referred to the Committee of Seventy and toa meeting that had been held in Wall street, where it had been said that there was no use in voting for the Tammany nominee, and that the race would be between Mr. Havemeyer and Mr. O’Brien. (Hisses.) It had been said that he (Mr. Lawrence) was & respect- able man, and might have done well if he had been nominated tor District Attorney or Corporation Counsel; but as he had been nominated for Mayor he would remain in the field until the Sth of No- vember, when they would see the result, (Cheers.) At had been said that the ofiice of Mayor had been ded by bad men; but if he were elected he periet ae or of New York, and fulfil all the duties of the office honestly and independently. (Cheers.) THE RESOLUTIONS. Mr. ALGERNON S, SULLIVAN read a series of reso- Jutions, enunciating the principles of the meeting. There was, he said, a monument in Trinity churc! yard, and on it appeared the name of Captain james S. Lawrence and also the legend, “Don't | Br. up the ship,’’ and to-day the true democratic lood of Captain Lawrence flowed in the veins of Abraham R. Lawrence. (Cheers.) ‘Don’t give up the ship.” (Cheers. One of the Teuolutions read ued Mr. Sullivan Strongly denounced the introduction of religious juestions into politica, and further declared that ere should be no invasion of the privacy of the citizen on the mere suspicion that wrong was in- tended. SPEECH OF HON, PATRICK CORBETT. Hon. P. Compett, of Syracuse, was the next Speaker. He said they saw an unusual coalition dd meee to elect Horace Greeley, (Cheers.) his mean’ THE UNION OF ALL HONEST MEN in America to restore the Union to its original sim- icity and purity.

(There were loud calls for Mr, HoratioSeymour who was not present, ’ SPEECH OF MR, THAYER, The President introduced Mr. J. JAMES 8, TRAYER, who was applauded.

Tne wr £0 Re Grant some resper ey ings that were offered to them, and, again, uniike him, becatise they took things that were ‘not offered to them, (Cheers.) He (Mr. Thayer) opposed the re-e'ec- tion of Grant for the same reason that he voted against his election. Grant, in his own confession and the confession of his friends, was UNFIT FOR THE POSITION OF PRESIDENT. Even Charles Francis Adams, in a letter, stated that while he would vote for General Grapt he Must contess that he was a failure asa civil ad- ministrator. (Cheers.) General Grant himself, when he was approached on the subject of the Price. sald he was not fit for it; that he was a soldier; that he was General of the army, for which he had hay: d @ year, and that with that he was satisfied, But his friends made it A MATTER OF BUSINESS with him, The North couid not afford to keep “the bloody chasm” open. He had recently read in the HERALD that the imports had largely exceeded the exports; but a hope was expressed that the defl- ciency, 80 far as the South was concerned, would be made up by the products of cotton and tobacco, They should be awake and alive to THE CRY OF REFORM. The workingmen in the country places of the State were determined upon reform. (Cheers.) He Knew Horace Greeley well; and when he (Mr. Thayer) signed the compact at Baltimore he deter- mined, as a democrat, to keep it, and if otners lagged behind he would go forward at the sound of the trumpet, which calied him to do his duty in this crisis of the country. Horace Greeley had declared in favor of universal) amnesty. His utterances on all public questions bore evidence of a great and comprehensive mind, if ever there was a time when they wanted inde- pendent self-government for their city it was now. (Cheers.) He knew Abraham R, Lawrence, an able lawyer, better versed in municipal law, per- haps, than any other lawyer in the city. He wasa democrat, endorsed by Tammany Hall purified, He was endorsed by Samuel J. Tilden. (Cheers.) As long as the Committee of Seventy stood firm to- gether they did well; but they began to stumble, and now they went over to the republicans, Against Mr. Havemeyer he had nothing to say; but he was a republican, and in this contest. when they stood on democratic principles, they could give Mr. Havemeyer no Sappars, As to Mr. O’Brien— (hisses)—what right had he to Trombuil!

THAYER—I have nothing to say as to his ipprrial qualities, which he has always improved, believe, to the best advan: The speaker con- cluded by observing that if corrupt federal com- pacts and a fared platform of reform could avail it the democratic party Uberty would be eclipsed. (Cheers.) There were calls for Mr. Horatio Seymour, when the President came forward a4 that a felcgram had been received from . Seymour, stat that he was unable to attend, owing to ill- ness, confined him to hig house, orpnom OF LBvI P. MORTON. my Mr. Levi P. MORTON was then introduced to the Meeting, and proceeded to speak in reference to the Ku Kinx law and the attempted purchase of the island of St. Domingo. The treaty for the pur- chase of that island was denounced by Charles Sumner, and for that he was driven from his posi- tion as chairman of the Committee of Foreign Re- lations. They were now engaged in a constitu- tional struggle to resist the PLUNDER, OPPRESSION AND ROBBERY of the Southern States. Two hundred millions of dollars had been added fraudulently and corruptiy to the debt of the Southern States. A Governor of Georgia (Bullock) was now AN ESCAPED FELON, though a successful speculator. if the gentlemen of Wallstreet backed up the carpet-baggers they might Grive the people of the South to repudiate the national debt. Let them look at the act of Davenport in arresting Mr. Heinrichs, ‘The Proware was that the Commissioner's deputy acted in conformity with the law. He did not betieve in that construction of the law. If it admitted of that construction he believed the act was void and unconstitutional. (Cheers.) The day after Mr. Kernan was nominated for Governor the New York Times came out with an article objecting to Mr. Kernan because he belonged to a Wight: church, and soon after a body, of which Mr. Havemeyer was a member, issued a paper to that effect. This was wrong. In conclusion, the speaker com- mented on what he termed the compact that had been made between Tom Murphy and the Custom House party to elect James O’Brien for Mayor. (Hisses.) There was treachery in the air, and they should do their best to defeat it. (Choers.) REMARKS OF MAJOR HAGGERTY. Major Ha@cExry, having been introduced, spoke at some length, and expressed a hope that there would not be built up in the South, under federal rule, a Poland, an Ireland or a Hungary. He had looked with astonishment at the tendency of the present government toward a centralizing policy, and this was the thing that the people of the United States were now rising up to de- feat. (Cheers.) He charged that Charles Sumner had accused the President of things that should have prevented him from being elected, not to say re-elected. The people of this country were putting up with injustice that would not tolerated in England for forty-eight hours. Therg would have been civil service refurm if there had not been an attempt to perpetrate the St. Domingo job. It was time that the gentleman- hood of America should assert itself in politics, He never again would be the slave of party. It was as much as the reputation of a gentleman was worth to hola office. He would vote for the best man, whether he was a democrat or a republican. (Cheers.) He concluded by calling upon the clec- tors to supporfGreeley, Kernan anda Lawrence, SPEECH OF MR, ISAAC H. HUNTER, Mr. Isaac H. HUNTER (colored) aia oY the speak- ing to a close, strongly denouncing the carpet-bag and scalawag government at the South and the Grant party, which was distinct from the demo- crats and republicans. There was a new class of slaves in America now, and these were the men who now hold situations in the Custom House, Post OMce and revenue service, and who were obligea out of their saiary to contribute & part of it for the bar tad of re-clecting a usurper fora second time. (Cheers) There should be an amendment to the constitution securing only one term for every President. The only objection the Grantites had to Francis Kernan was that he wor- shipped God accoring to the dictates of his con- science, and he (Mr. Hunter) was piers asa Methodist, when he cast his vote for Francis Ker- nan at the Convention, (Cheers.) The speaker went on to suggest the idea that Grant had a ten- dency to aristocratic principles, and had for that purpose sent over to Europe PRINCE FRED AND PRINCESS NELLIE to learn all the art f movarchical principles, so that, when Grant bi seized supreme power, they should be able to walk into the kingly chamber and show all their acquirements in aristocratic principles. The meeting, which was very enthusiastic throughout, closed at eleven o'clock. th ‘ OUTSIDE MENTING. ere was alarge concourse of people assembled outside. They were addressed by several speakers, and at intervals fireworks, consisting of rockets and Roman candles, were let of, KERNAN AT NEWBURG.

There was 4 large attendance and much enthusiasm. A democratic club walked all the way from Cornwall in torchlight procession in order to be present at this mecting.

Mr, Kernan was welcomed with the heartiest of Irish enthusiasm, and spoke for an hour and a haif in review of the issues of the eens political canvass.

Demonstration of the O’Brien De- moecracy Last Evening. A Procession Two Hours in Passing—Enthusias- tic Meeting Inside Apollo Hall—Speeches by Judge Barrett, Henry L. Clinton and Sam Courtney—The Issues of the Campaign. The Apollo Hall democracy last evening turned out in their full strength for a Gnal demonstration in the municipal campaign and succeeded in mak- ing the largest political display New York city has seen since the palmy days when Tammany Hall wasin the zenith of her power, Estimates, of course, varied very considerably as to the NUMBERS OF THE GATHERING, but taking the procession and the various assem- blages at the stands together throughout the even- ing the lowest computation put the gathering at between twenty-five and thirty thousand, while the true figure was probably something much higher. Apollo Hall, of course, externally appeared in its most brilliant aspect. Every window was bright With lights and eagerly enthusiastic faces, and the balcony facing on Twenty-eighth street was dan- geroualy crowded with the magnates of the organ- ization. The transparency on Broadway showed at last a complete municipal ticket, headed by a por- trait of the standard bearer of the organization, and the gas within it was unusually bright, There were five stands at various sites in the neigh- borhood, the principal being at the corner of Twenty-seventh and ‘Twenty-eighth streets and Broadway. These were all draped with flags and adorned with such mottoes as “God’s Noblest Work, an Honest Man—James O’Brien,” ‘The Original Champion of Reform” and “The Friend of the Poor.” Strings of Chinese colored lanterns were stretchea across the streets, and there was an incessant display of pyrotechnics, rockets and bombs and Roman candies and colored fires, light- ing up the faces of the crowd almost every mo- ment and stirring the enthusiasm to a decidedly feverish height. The great feature of the demonstration undoubt- edly was THE PROCESSION, which began at a little before eight o’clock and lasted a couple of hours, In discipline and scenic effect it was not so gorgeous as the memorable parades gotten up by Tammany in the last Presi- dential campaign, and again a couple of years ago, but it was, nevertheless, quite imposing. In nombers it probably reached somewhere between fifteen and twenty thousand; for the men marched very quickly and in lines of eight or ten abreast. Sometimes, indeed, the men were 80 closely packed together that they degenerated into an irregularly ordered mob, and hurried on nervously pellmell to get breathing space in a more quiet portion of their route, They were greatly embarrassed, too, by the passage of the cars, which did not stop running, but followed in the line of the parade at a walk. Each sidewalk of Broadway from the Fiith avenue to Twenty ninth street, where the procession turned and filed down into Sixth avenue, was thronged with TWO DENSE LINES of people, who cheered heartily in the intervals of th BORG by the bands in response to cries for rien. The procession itself, however, except in being much more numerous than usual, differed littie from the political parades with which all New Yorkers are pretty well familiar. There was a con- stant stream of transparencies blazoned with the names of the local leaders of the various ward organizations, and with legends commending the honesty and reforming zeal of the hero of Apollo Hall; and there were long lines of men with flaring torches, and there were marshals on horse- back and gayly colored banners and flags fluttering gently in the light breeze of a very fine Autumn evening. The mass of the parade, however, con- sisted of solid phalanxes of ‘WELL-DRESSED WORKING MEN, who had entered into the thing partly to give an expression of their political preference, and partly also, perhaps, for the pleasant excitement of a Pe rade, which e as everybody knows, one of the vorita recreations of the honest, toiling masses Of our lecal population. : THE SCENE. About half-past eight it was a very pleasing a, to look down upon Broadway, filled with this moving throng, m one of the windows of Apollo Hall. Far in the distance there shone the brilliant lghts in front of the Fifth Avenue Hotel, while the centre of the street from thence up to Twenty-ninth street was lit up with the smoky glare of torches and the yellow re- fection of the transparencies. On either side of this passing stream of processionists was a dark fringe of spectators, who stood perfectly still as the men marched by with shouts and cheers to the music of countless noisy bands. It was a scene of singular animation, and the crowd was s0 good tempered and orderly that one could not resist, ior the moment at least, whatever might happen to be his pohtical convictions, joining in with the spirit A the occasion and yielding to the enthusiasm of je hour. INSTDE of Apollo Hall the speaking did not begin until nearly half-past eight, by which time the attractions of the procession outside had sufficiently lost the magic speil of novelty to leave a full audience of from fifteen hundred to two thousand people. The shouts of the Neg tt the marching music of the bands and the booming of the firework mor- tars ba tte a however, broke in upon the ora- tory and mingled with the cheers of applause that greeted the points of the speakers, The meeting was called to order by Judge Spaulding, who, after a few appropriate allusions to the grandeur of the demonstration of the even- ing, nominated Mr, William (. Barrett for perma- neut chairman. MR. BARRETI’S REMARKS, Mr. BaRReETT thanked the audience for the honor paid him, but announced himself as unable to make any lengthened remarks owing to indispo- sition, He regarded the numbers and enthu- siasm shown yy the people outside as an omen of victory. He had known Kernan for thirty years, and had always found him an honest man and a loyal democrat. He de- nounced the meeting of the Committee of Seventy just held in Wall street, and thought the language was eee to that stanch reformer, James O’Brien, He himself was a member of that com- mittee, but could no longer belong to a body that had abandoned the principles and objects for the support of which it had been organized. That com- mittee was now no longer impartial, but partisan, He complained of the nomination of Havemeyer as & betrayal of the original champion of reform, who was the standard bearer of Apollo Hall. The secretaries and vice presidencs of the meet- ing were then appointed, and a series of resolu- tions passed, endorsing Kernan for Governor, O’Brien for Mayor, and the rest of the Apollo Hall municipal ticket in very flattering and compli- mentary vera R. CLINTON'S SPERCH. Mr. Henry L. Cuinton then spoke. He claimed that Apollo Hall was the original reform democ- racy, and its judiciary ticket was the best that had been put in the field for twenty- five years. In regard to Mr. Havemeyer, he sald “that that gentleman was ® ‘quarter of acentury behind the age. He had a long time ago been @ creditable Mayor; but a new genera- tion, whose needs he did not sympathize with, had since come into existence. Mr. Huvemeyer was also believed to be opposed to the great public im- provements which were now going on, and of which Mr. O'Brien was known to a warm ad- vocate, and which were necessary to the enlarged prosperity and commerciai importance of the great city of New York. Mr. Havemeyer, after servin; two terms as Mayor, rau again the third time, bu! was excused by the people from serving, as they would excuse him again on the 5th of November next. The opposition of the Tammany Ring to O’Brien was easily explained. It was because he had secured their overthrow. Mr. Tweed, in an interview with areporter, had admitted that O’Brien had refused a bribe of $200,000, offered him by the corruptionists. Failing in bribing him, they next attempted to starve lim by refusing to pay him his just bills as Sheriff, Then followed the organisa- tion of Apollo Hall, and the successful battle against the Ring, the victory being won in consequence of O’Brien having given to the world the proofs of the Cl of Tammany Hall. Mr. Clinton closed by an eloquent and stirring eulogy of James O'Brien, whose name was repeatedly hailed by the audience with deafening cheers. Mr. Clinton was followed by Mr. Sam. G, Court- NEY, who vehemently denounced the faithless action of the Committee of Seventy in abandon- ing O’Brien in the present contest. To Mr. O'Brien, undoubtedly, belonged whatever credit was due for the overthrow of Tammany and the rescue of the city from the Ring. AT THE STANDS outside there was speaking all through the even- Ing, and the crowds that were gathered together listened and cheered as well as could be expectett when the rival attractions of the procession are taken into account, ‘The speakers comprised a number of the local candidates of Apollo Hall for Assembly and Aldermen. THE YOUNG MEN'S REFORM ASSOCIATION. Ina parior of the Coleman House there was also & meeting of the Young Men’s Mercantile Political Reform Association. About two hundred members were present, and its President, Mr. O'Hara, made @ telling speech, in which he advocated the election of the Apollo Hall candidates for Mayor and the Judiciary, and of Mr, Charlies A. Johnes, one of the nominations pp the aldermayi¢ ticket. The latter gentioman, he said, was a member of their nization, and they knew him to be a capable, ant ive and coment entleman. ann — of = lermanic mit also, perhaps, be good, they did not personally know much about them. PRESIDENTIAL HEADQUARTERS. ———_-___—_ The Republican Headqearters. There is nothing more to report from the Grant headquarters at the Fifth Avenue Hotel, the rooms undergoing the process of dismantling, in view of the ending of the campaign. Chandler goes to- morrow to New Hampshire, to remaim; the clerks seatter to their various legitimate occupations, and only one man will be left on Tuesday night to report by bulletin the defeat or victory which awaits the party. The Liberal Republican Headquarters. Among the letters received yesterday at the liberal headquarters was one from a gentleman in North Carolina, who says that the recent renuncia tion of Greeley by Oscar Eastwood, im that State recently, was brought about by force, it being the price of a pardon offered him by the Grant men for the criminal bffence of selling soldiers’ pay ac- counts and the alternative o! a severe-and relent- less prosecution. Letters of the most assuring nature come in from all parts of the country. It is stated that a large Presbyterian congregation in Northwestern Ohio has «declared solemnly for Greeley because of the Methodist proscription cir- cular recently published, REPUBLICAN RALLY. Last Mass Meeting at the Brooklyn Academy. The republicans of Kings county rallied for the last time for the present campaign at the Brooklyn Academy of Music last night. The building was well filled and the stage was occupied by nearly all the prominent republican politicians in Brooklyn. After sufficient enthusiasm had been infused in the audience by some patriotic airs by Spedick’s Brass Band, Mr. J. 8.1. Stranahan, who occupied the chair, introduced Alderman John A. Taylor. The Alderman said that no fault could be found with the candidates who had been nominated by the republican party, and the ticket he was assured would receive the hearty support which it deserved from all honest republicans, Ex-Governor Wooprorp was then introduced, and spoke for an hour, principally upon the fitness of General Grant to fill the Presidential chair for another term. He said they should be glad that this long and tedious canvass was about drawing toward a close, for not within the memory of man _ had _ there been a contest in which there had been so much slander and abuse. The republican party was responsible for the condition of the country, for the administration of the law and the discharge of the trusts which a generous people had conveyed to it. The American citizen was honored in every part of the country and the flag was respected in all parts of the world. When Grant was elected old ranged at $1 30 and Cay it ranged at $1 13. f all the money which had been collected in the Treasury Department the entire loss was less than one hundred and fifty-sixth of one per cent. In the Revenue Department the entire loss was less than one hundred and eighty-fifth of one per cent. The revenue had been collected, and the laws entorced as was seen by the suppression of illicit whiskey _ stills. If the cit.zen had been taxed it was to provide for his protection, The government must protect every citizen in his rights, He then spoke of the arguments of the democracy against the re-elec- tion of a man for a second term, and asked if Jefferson, Madison, _ Monroe and Jackson were not re-elected for a second term. He likened the unpleasantness with the South to anulcer upon a man’s arm, whi could not be healed until it was cut out by the surgeon and cast away. The sore takes a long time to heal. Slavery was the ulcer and it hal been cut out and cast aside, but the arm of the South was still sore. Grant was the surgeon, and under his treatment the sore was doing well and would soon be healed, HOW ERIE VOTES.

DEMOCRATIC EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE, Sr, NICHOLAS HoTeL, Rooms 10 AND 11, EW YORK, Oct. 30, 1872, Hon. WILitaM Cass! My Deak Sir—In reply to yours and many other communications received from various parts of the State, | take great pleasure in saying that, foiled in their previous efforts to shake the allegiance of de- mocrats in their principles and candidates, our ad- versaries are now appealing to the temporizing of the doubtful and the selfish, with ialse and industri- ously circulated reports, that New York city is certain to casta majority of her votes for Grant and for Dix. This uurelieved falsehood measures the extent of their fears and the extremities to which they are reduced. The democratic vote of the city, though to some extent divided upon Mayor and some other local candidates, is well nigh a unit upon Greeley and Kernan. ‘This divi- sion, if in other respects unfortunate, has never- theless an obvious tendency to increase the agere- gate votes for the national and State tickets. The | competition caused by such local divisions has in- variably enlarged the general vote, and it will not be otherwise now. Democrats of the country, be not decetved, The democrats of this city are coming into line. They | will suffer neither State nor nation to be ravaged by the corruptionists if their votes can prevent it. The Greeley electoral and Kernan State tickets will be supported alike by the Tammany and Apollo ea organizations and be distributed from their joxes, Then, disregard reports and be true to your du- ties. The city of New York has in store her old democratic strength with which to reinforce the democratic majorities that she expects down from the country on the night ct the oth of November, ‘WILLIAM W.

Anthony to Mr, Trumbull, in reply to remarks made by Mr. Trumbull on a ruling of Mr. Anthony in the chair of the Senate, which ruling, on appeal, was sustained by the Senate. We are permitted to pub- lish the following letter on the subject from one who is not second to any living parliamentary authority :— Soutn Benn, Ind., Oct. 28, 1872. My Dear Sin—Home for a day, in the midst of a dozen speaking appointments, made since returning health came to my sorely-stricken family circle, I find by the Providence Journal that you have been criticized about a pai tact decision inade by you when occupying the el of the Senate at mv request, in my absence. It was affirmed by the Senate itself on appeai, but itis only due to you, under allthe circumstances, that Ishould state that I concur with you and the Senate as to the rightful- ness of Pha! role The whole case is ly condensed. The Senate did not adopt a rule, as is generally as- sumed, prohibiting all amendatory or repealing legisla- tion in approprition af The rule they did adopt pro- hibited amendments “other than such as directly relate to the Srprop! trons contained in the bill.” contained an appropriation for judicial expenses, incfud- ing specifically, ‘for the expenses which may be incarred in the enforcement ot the act relative to the rights of citizens to vote, approved February 28, 1871, or any other acts [i ag thereof or supplementary thereto.” The amendment pro} d_ was, “the sald act being hereby supplemente nd amended,” ec, If that did not “directly relate” to what was already in the bill, I do not anderstand the English 1: uage.

The Address of the Seventy Solons—Speeches by Messrs. Wm. M. Evarts and Joseph B. Varnum—George Francis Train in His “Peculiarity.” Shortly after noon yesterday a large meeting was hel! at the corner of Broad and Wall streets, in respoDs¢ to a call from the Committee of Seventy, in favor of William F, Havemeyer for Mayor and of the other nominees of the Seventy Solons. The meeting was called to order by Jackson S, Schultz, who nominated John Taylor Johnston for chairman, Mr. W. H, Nerison then read the address of the Committee of Seventy, which, after giving the names endorsed by them for Mayor, Aldermen, Assistant Aldermen, Assembly, Judiciary and Coro- ner, proceeded as follows:— The committee have carefully surveyed the whole fleld, and from the entire lista of candidates presented by all parties and organizations, after a patient and impartial \earing of all who desired to be heard, they have selected the ticket now presented as, on the whole, best adapted to promote the cause of true reform, and as entirely worthy of the support of all citizens. It will doubtless fail to’ satisfy the politicians, who regard all offices of trust and honor as but the spoils for the yictors in their seliish contests; but those who love the city better than their party, and ernment ali and who desire to rescue and remove its gov- together, from the arena of politics, will ‘step in that direction by voting and labor- dates endorsed by us. jonal issues to be decided at the same elec- tion we, of course, have nothing to do; and although, ns past experience shows, the welfare of ‘this city is much concerned in having an honest, capable and patriotic Governor of the State, yet, as either of the two eminent citizens now contendihig for that position will satisty this demand, we have nothing to say or advise in regard to the State canvass. In presenting the name of William F. Havemeyer as our candidate for Mayor, we do but respond to the almost universal demand of that great body of citizens who, in the last twelve months, have sympa‘ d and acted with the retorm movement. His long and honorable life, all spent in this city; his distinguished services and spotless record as Mayor in New York’s better days, his extraordinary vigor and ex- ecutive abiltty, and his earnest and successful leadership in the recent war between the citizens and the Tammany Hing, naturally pointed him out as the people's candidate for the office of Chiet Magistrate in this crisis, The crippled, broken and byt very DaxHally reformed condition of the organization which placed Mr, Lawrence in nomination, and its ineffectual appeal to the various retorm organizations to come to its ald in this municipal contest, are conclusive proof that even its leaders have’ little, if any, hope of electing their candidate. And every one else sees clearly that his election is out of the question, go that every honest citl- zen who votes for Mr. Lawreiice will, in effect, be voting for O'Brien, The utter hopelessness’ ot Mr. Lawrence's election makes it entirely unnecessary to ‘question his sebieede merits or the political designs and character of his most active supporters. In view, therefore, of the fuct that the contest is really and wholly between Mr. Havemeyer and Mr. O’Brien, we regard, Mr. Have- meyer’s election as indispensable the securit of ‘lite, liberty and property in this metropolis. The ptople of this ‘city are familiar with Mr. O'Brien’s history and record, and there is not, we be- lieve, one intelligent citizen who does not know perfectly Well that he is im every respect unfit for the exalted office to which he aspires and into which he is being pressed by all the dangerous clements of society. We appeal, therefore, with confidence to all who have the honor of the city at heart, and who really wish to save it from the disgrace which Mr. O'Brien's election would necessarily bring upon it, to prevent such a calamity by casting their votes for William meyer, ‘ihe candidates presented upon our Judictary ticket are conceded by all to be above reproach, and eminently fitted to adorn and elevate the Bench, but the criticism has been made that two outof the three are of the repub- lican party. When, however, itis remembered that of the twenty five judges now on’the Bench in this city, v five in the Supreme Court, six in the Superior Court, six in the Common Pleas, six’ in the Marine Court, the Vity Judge and the Recorder, all but two are democrats in good standing in their party, itis clear that the criticism is of no force, and that the election of two republican judges will not change the political complexion of ‘the courts, but will tend to guard them from the possible sus- viclon’ot partisanship. The advantage which may be Sought to have been al- lowed to republicans in the complexion of our judiciary ticket is offset in the Aldermanic ticket, upon which we resent the names of @ majority of democrats, believing hat that party, which so largely preponderates in nuin- bers and influence, should not be deprived of its natural welght and control in that important branch of the city government, In regard to the nominations for the Assembly the elec tion to which of honest and intelligent men is of trans- cendent importance to the people of this city, our con- trolling purpose has been to secure, if possible, the nomina- tion of men who would truly and’ fairly represent in the Legislature the wishes and demands of that great majority of our people who sincerely desire that the affairs of the city should be administered in the interest of its citizens, and who will promote legislation to that end. In the strong democratic districts, wherever the character and record of the partes brought forward rendered it possible for us to do so, we have given our endorsement to demo- cratic candidates. In one or two districts we have found no candidate of any party or organization whom we deemed worthy of our support, and have leit them to their fute, ond in two otluer districts, in which the nominees of ne ir, possible F. Have- political party were commendable, we have given our cndoreesaent | ‘0 independent We very muc! failed to prese didates who cot ment gentlemen placed in nomination by bodies of citizens convened tor the purpose. ret that all the political pa nave lor the ody of the State c: Id command our unqualified endorse- and enthusiastic support. ‘hile our ticket ot Assembly is made up of the names utable and honest citizens, their sclection by -espective political organizations, with but tew ex- ceptions, seem not to have been dictated by the p fitness of the candidates for the dificult duiy of 1 . ing tor the wants of four and a halt millions of people, hor by thelr special qualifications for comprehending th much necded measures of reform which our ow mand_ trom legislative action. ‘The names we “h are, however, the best that could be sete all the nominees in the fle!d having any possible chance of election, and we can but hope for a continued improve- ent in the gencral tone and character of the names to be presented in future years tor the Legislatuce, trom that deeper and more Widespread interest in public at- fairs which must and will henceforth be taken by our best citizens, in conclusion, we exhort all good citizens to devote the whole of election day, which has now been set aside for the purpose as a legal'holiday, to the discharge of their duties atthe polls, The conspicuous presence at the polls on the day of the last annual election of great numbers of reputable voters, interested in seeing and maintaining {air play, contributed inno small, measure to the great achieved. The committee propose n for the distribution of their ticket in each of the city, and will use their best efforts to secure to voters of both parties whichever State ticketthey may prefer with the reiorm ticket for local officers, WILLIAM M, EVARTS’ SPEECH, At the conclusion of the address the Mr. WiL- LAM M. Evarts was introduced. He said that he had thought that his part in this campaign had bet- ter be that of a listener than a speaker. But he now had as much interest in the election as he had had in that of a year age just on the eve of his de- parture for Europe. The question to be solved in a tew days by bis hearers was under whose archi- tecture the edifice of the political prosperity of this city was to be raised—under that of Havemeyer or O’Brien, Said the speaker, your universal con- sent shows which way your choice lays. There is no force in any of the abjections against Have meyer, who during all his political life has been ever true, ever efficient, ever powerful. The speaker had nothing but regard to express for Mr. Lawrence, but he had tter been a can- didate for a judicial office, or for Corporation Counsel, than for the Executive of this city. The legal profession had Sean contributed one of its members to that office, and he submitted that they had better delay putting forward another until the present incumbent had finished his term, It was urged in favor of O'Brien that he had been a principal agent in whatéver success had been won against Tammany, and that his deeds entitled him to recognition. But had he not already received all the recognition that he was entitled to? He now occupied the honorable otiice of Sen- ator of the Empire State. It was a fit recognition of his services, and he submitted that those ser- vices had not entitled him to now take control of the political engine. Mr. O’Brien was a part of the reform movement, but he was not all of it. Mr. Havemeyer was Known to everybody, judged of favorably by everybody; endorsed by a committee in which everybody had reason to feel the utmost confidence, Elect Havemeyer, and the city would have laid the corner stone of its new edifice of pure government and reform. SPERCH OF JOSEPH B. VARNUM. Mr, Josern B, VAkNOM was next introduced, It was not, he said, a great many years ago since we went into an election something similar to this, wit Wood, Opdyke and Havemeyer as the candidates, Havemeyer waa then elected, as he would be now, ‘The point to gain then was to beat Wood. He (the speaker) ore not stand there to say Saye against Mr, Lawrence, But Mr. Lawrence had never been tried, and, after the terrible crisis they had passed through, the Committee of Seventy were hot disposed to oe anything doubtiul. Ifa man were recommended who was surrounded by the worst class of politicians they would blame the it was better in a crisis like this to be beaten than that this should occur. Some of them would be prepared to dispute about Mr. Lawrence; but we should judge ofa man by his company. It could not be said Chae Temmany was reformed, Take some twelve or een gentiémen away from that organization and the rest were the same as before. People were saying that Mr. Havemeyer was too old; but the merchants of this city did not think 80, as was evident from the estimation in which his advice was held in the highest mercan- tile circles. It was to his yt hens with Mr. Green that the city owed its riddance of the Ring. In alluding to O’Brien, the speaker said he did not know but they might have a worse map than “Jemmy," but were O'Brien elected he would be surrounded with crowds of petty office seckers, whom he could not throw aside. At the conclusion of Mr. Varnum’s address the mecting adjourned. TRAIN 18 HEARD. When the meeting began to separate It was dis- covered that George Francis Train was Pee | on the opposite corner of the street’ at the office deor of the Western Union Tele; h. A number ol per- sons gathered round him for a speech, and the “ir. repressible,” having catied tor a vote as to whether or not he should let off steam ana being answered by @ vociterous “Aye,” he proceeded to discuss some forty or fifty diferent subjects in less than fifteen minutes, He was finally advised to disap- pear ina passing omnibus through the windows of which he continued “kissing hands’ to the crowd until he faded from sights 3 SAGES OF SEVENTY STILL IN SESSION. ——_>+——_ Appointment of Superintendents to the Different Assembly Districts.

Bedford Club, aa organization named after the City Judge, number- ing over five hundred members, held a meeting. last evening at Bloch’s Drovers’ Hotel, 328 Eas} Houston strect. Owing to numerous other masa meetings being held all through the ward the at- tendance at this place was not quite so full a it might have been; still the attendance numbered several hundred voters, all of them enthusiastic admirers of the fearless young Judge. At the appointed hour the meeting was called to order by Mr. Thomas H. Atkinson, President of the association, who addressed the assembly at length, setting forth the fact of the organization of this club having been etfected long before the time when Tammany Hall nominated Judge Bedford tor the honorable position he has 80 ably filled during the eight years he occupied the office of City Judge, with credit to himself and the utmost benefit to the city. Mr. Atkinson, at the close of his remarks, introduced to the meeting Mr. Charles White, a young and able speaker, who likewise dwelt upon the merits of Judge Bedford as a jurist and up- right, fearless magistrate. He said that every citizen having the peace and welfare of our city at heart should go to the polls next Tuesday, and not only cast his vote for Gunning 8. Bedford for re-election as City Judge, but prevail on his iriends to do likewise. The only class opposed to another term of Judge Bedford were the garroters, thieves and cutthroats, who now occupied quarters in the Penitentiaries and State Prisons. Several other mpeakers followed in the same strain, after which the meeting adjourned, with cheers for their nominee. The following preamble and resolutions were unanimously passed :— Whereas Gunning 8. Bedford, the present eff. cient City Judge, has, during a political career of eight years on th uch, demonstrated the greatest abilities as a magistrate, and fearless, upright judge; and whereas the course pursued by him in ridding the com- munity of the worst classes of society, by sentencing offenders brought betore him to the utmost ‘mits of the law meet our approval; therefore be it Resolved, That this club recognizes in Gunning & Bedtord all the qualities requisite for a criminal justice, and the Eleventh Ward G. 8. Bedford Club most em: phatloally endorse is renomination for the position of ity Judge, and hereby pledge to him our undivided sup- Port to secure his re-election. The Sixteenth Ward Batifies Judge Bed- “fore Nomination, Last evening a large and enthusiastic meet-' ing was held at the corner of Ninth ave- nue and ‘Twenty-second street to further the interests of Judge Bedford in the Sixteenth ward and to insure a complete Bedford victory on the 6th inst. Several influential citizeng, addressed the assembly present, and suitable reso-’ lutions were passed, pledging themselves to do all and everything in their power to elect Judge Bed- ford as our next City Judge—the position he now so ably fills. Mr. Downs was elected”President of the organization. TAXPAYERS’ ASSOCIATION, The New York Taxpayers’ Association held a meeting in Milliman's Hall, seventh avenue, last evening. The committee appointed to make upa ticket from the various candidates for Aldermen now in the fleld, to be supported by the associa- tion, reported the following names:—George P, Bradford, Oswald Ottendorfer, 8. B. H. Vane John Reilly, Henry Clausen, Jr., Peter Gilsey, Patric! Lysaght, John Falconer, J. Van Schaick, David MJ Kohiler, John E, Walsh, 8. A. Lewis, William F, Agh-' man, William Salmon, Robert McCafferty. 0! 9 gentlemen named six represent Tammany, fiv Apollo Hall and four are republicans. An address was ecoyeen urging the support of the ticket named, POOL SELLING ON THE ELECTION. American Pools at Johnson’s French Pools at Thomas’, There was the usual heterogeneous mass of beings at Johnson’s last night assisting at the pool selling on the elections, In fact, more than the usual mass, for the meeting in the street above brought down a miscellaneous mass of people, not 80 much bent on betting as on seeing how the thing was going. Many spruce overcoated young men were around, dressed in the most fashionable style, all bent on ventilating thelr nascent opin- ions on the elections, and all of whom displayed the most sublime ignorance of what was at stake. None of these young men adventured any money on the result, They were satisfied with impress- ing the ignorant bystanders with their profound knowledge of politics. Pugilists and their habitual consorts were also present, but did no betting. The rough and ready element strutted round, iltus- trating with many beautifully rounded expletives their admiration of this candidate and their unal- loyed contempt of that. The young men watched the proceedings of these gentlemen with evident awe and admiration, and quite often made palpable imitations of their swaggering self-sufficiency. The old Lethon J men, the real “sports,” were in the minority, but, in their quiet way, they put op all the money which appeared during the evening. Many politicians were present, but they did not seem to be in very fine feather, and abstained from betting. Asa ruie the money staked was in small amounts. Large sums did not appear to be repre- sented at all in the concourse present, and the constant noise from the meeting above often drowned the voice of the auctioneer, hard as he on to make the bids heard in all parts of the hall.
