The City Frauds, Charles O’Conor and the Reli- gious Question Discussed—The Spirit of Na- tive Americanism and Its Antagonism to the Best Interests of the Country. It being well understood that the nomination at Syracuse of Francis Kernan as candidate for Gov- ernor was largely owing to the support of the great Tammany rejormer whose name heads this article, and that this support was attributable in good part to Mr. Kernan’s connection with the re- form movement, & HERALD reporter was sent to interview Mr. Tilden, with instructions to obtain his views on the forthcoming gubernatorial elec- tion, anu such other matters connected therewith as he might be willing to speak upon. Arrived at his elegant residence in°Gramercy place our re- Porter was shown into the library, where he was received with much courtesy, wilich was not pre- served when the object of the visit was stated. Accepting an invitation to a comfortable chair he plunged into the midst of matters as follows:— “Understanding that you were somewhat instro- mental in the nomination of Francis Kernan as the democratic and liberal republican candidate for Governor, I have called to make some inquiries about it.” Mr. TILDEN—Well, what do you wish to know that Ican tell you? I shall be pleased to give you any information I possess, REPORTER—Will Mr. Kernan be elected ? Mr. TILDEN—I feel very certain that Francis Ker- nan will be the next Governor of the State of New York. REPORTER—Are you willing to state the motives for nominating Mr. Kernan ? Mr. TiLDEN—I am perfectly willing to state my motives so far as I had agency in the nomination. Mr, Kernan willbe “the right man in the right Place.” It is scarcely possible to find a man in whom the public interests can be so safely trusted. He is in the meridian of life and the maturity of his Powers, He has acknowledged abilities, He has led a distinguished career as a law- yer. He possesses large knowledge and ex- perience of public affairs, while he has scarcely ever held office. He has inspired universal confidence in his most absolute integrity, and enjoys the esteem and affection of the people of the central portion of the State and of all who know him everywhere else. Every circumstance about him conspires to assure us of his single-minded fidelity to the duties of his great trust. In the first Place, he has a high standard of public conduct. He is imbued with the traditions of the best days ofthe democracy. Like Jefferson, he would not attempt to increase his fortune, even by legitimate methods, while in public Ife. Like Silas Wright and Flagg and Marcy, he would not only be pure himself, but would disdain to use impure influence, impure methods, or impure mun for party objects, ‘His ideale are all lofty. In the second place, he is not over ambitious. He does not aim at a perma- nent public life, but to serve out his term and re- turn to tne congenial life of his profession. In the third place, he is totally free from all ambiguous associations. He stands on no “ring.” He owes nobody anything for political favors. Here are reasons enough, and good ones, but they are notall. REPORTER—What were the others? The republi- can newspapers say that one was that Mr. Kernan is a@ Catholic, and that you advised his nomination on that account. Mr, TILDEN—There is not the shghtest truth or semblance to truth in that story. But I will speak of that subject presently. The other reason is the connection Mr. Kernan had with the reform move- ment last year. CITY FRAUDS, The discovery of frauds by certain city officials heppepéd just as I was about leaving the city to spend. week in the country. On the eve of my de- partare I bad an opportunity of cross-examining a gentleman who had the confidence of the financial as pei taxpayers of this city, and on me with a letter from became ce Paisttagusned philanthropist. I a the revelations were substantially true. My week’s reflections in the country re- suited in a determination to attempt to carry out that system of measures in which I have been ever since engaged; but some i pgeen was indis- pensibie. pies the fret man I 80 ‘a After much veleeray ive rama. d him atte! doe phing I foun attendin: a ig | was on jay of August .

Now it so eppened gentlemen Td Ameri- cans, ra within ani State—that they are both sons orexiles, for the sake of liberty, from Ire- land—that they are both of the Catholic religion. Mr. Kernan’s creed had nothing more to do with my, desire for his nomination for Governor than it with my seeking his co-operation or Mr. brconor's co-operation in the reform measures. The only mode in_ which dl 4 oe tion of creed came to be di with reference to Mr. Kernan’s nomiuagen was afterwards when, notwithstanding his eminent fitness was conceded, it was said that the ublicans would attack him oa account of his jous opinions. Every rogue in the State be- testant vote. I think they could have for- giren his religion if they could only have ceased to it his honesty. Some worthy men became dis- turbed. For one, I was not disposed to concede much to such an ‘objection. Inever said anything about Mr. Kernan’s religion except to defend him. I should have been as much in favor of his nomina- tion if he had been of a different cpeee aie Kernan is totally free irom bigotry. His li! views on every subject of sectarian controversy are on record ig? hag speeches and in his conduct. In rn ae powers of an official trust his just and equitable character would be an impassa- ble barrier against partiality towards any class to which he suoald bog belong. If there are PROTESTANTS who seriously twin is withholding from Mr. Ker- nan a vote whic! would otherwise give be- cause he is a Gatholle, Tanould like to reason a little with them. If a man so excellent in ‘all moral aestities and in fitness for the station for which is nominated is to be deemed Hinguauitea ce because of his religious faith, how imagine @ case of any man of that faith to whom the ban of exclusion will not apply? Are we ready to adopt the principle that no man, however superior m merits and qualifica- tions, who i a Catholic shall be eligible to high public office in this i Commonwealth of free- men and eqtals?

THE OLD NORTH STATE. NORTH CAROLINA CONCEDED TO GRANT. A Dull Canvass and a Foregone Conclusion. RALEIGH, N. C., Nov. 3, 1872, The most insipid campaign North Carolina has ever known closes next Tuesday. Laus Deo, but don’t fire a hundred guns in City Hall Park, for Wood and Blumenburg have not been in the counties this time. There isa dogged indifference among the conservatives terribly ominous for Greeley, while in the ranks of the republicans over-confidence and absence of enthusiasm will reduce Grant’s vote more than ten thousand be- hind Caldwell's in August. It is claimed that GRANT WILL CARRY THE STATE by at least twelve thousand the majority of 1868. The conservatives and liberals at headquarters, Barringer and Mason, concede the State to Grant by 20,000, the lowest estimate of these gentlemen being 16,000. The re-election of Grant is a fore- gone conclusion among the people of this State, and hence neither party is pretending to keep up the appearance of a fight. The government officials have rade some phew of can , to retain pall at court. The tleetors of both sides are young men on their first legs, and have Sveread the State a little, and the Senatorial aspirants among the conservatives have attended somewhat to THE BAITING OF THEIR HOOKS, but as for real live canvassing, there has Me none in this State since the Summer cam; ‘The regult will be a light vote, the smallest pe esuiasd aed Judge Merrimon and other dis- akers were aes for Metro; 4 ftae'ne Welt ia st nigh . The bell was twice ret le not fifty persons out of a Suis of were present, and of these less than fifteen were Greeley voters. THE LIGHTS WERE PUT OUT and there was no speaking. The meetings ad vertised by both sides in this county y have Utterly failed, two instances occurring last week of not a soul on the meeting ground except the speakers. The straight-out movement has been too slow to amount to much, but the recent accession of Hon. Plato Durham to THE O'OONOR RANKS Tr and stan gives the movement a characte’ that would have placed that ticket ee a Ug oting in some counties than Gree! ere, been organ- ized sooner under the leaderai ipo of Durham, con- fessedly the ablest and most influential man of any party the West. It is understood that quite a number of leading democrats are sick of whet they call the “Greeley debauchery,” and would follow Durham, if the cam| mn was @ month off. Among ge teat D. H. Hill, of the Southern Home, at Charlotte. ether I see nothing but utter demotaltzation “a discom{lture for the conserva- tives here, and thetr final rout and destruction may lead to the DISINTEGRATION AND DISSOLUTION OF THE REPUB- LICAN PARTY in this State, for this is the last time the negroes are going to vote in solid column for any party. They are now supporting Grant for the same reason that the capitalists of the North are—fear of change. The Senatorial contest assumes no new phase. Vance is Legere losing ground, and Merrimon gaining just enough strength to prevent a caucus nomination, and then for a free fight. Senator Pool is here, and will remain until the meeting of Congress. ‘He NBITHER EXPROTS NOR DESIRES RE-ELECTION. eG will Gio ra ‘ Soreraent aa og C3 pa K ls carpet bag with a forel appointment! . The defection of Plato Durham has produced consternation in the conservative camp, as it is understood he largeiy influences the western dele- gation to the Legislature, and it is among the pos- sibilities that he may be the coming man ior the Senatorship, A FOREOAST. Divide the vote of this State as follows:—Grant, 90,000; Greeley, 70,000; O'Conor, none registered, and stay-at-homes, 65,000—and you have about as correct returns for next Tuesday as you Will want. SUPERSERVICE IN THE OLD DOMINION. Norrouk, Va., Nov. 3, 1872, Two of the Supervisors of Election in this city, appointed by the Chief Supervisor of the State, have been removed for no apparent cause by Judge J. C. Underwood of the United States Circuit Court. This im looked upon as a great outrage upon our people. SOUTH PAOIFIO SLAVERS. HONOLvLy, Sept. 25, 1872, The British government is after the slavers of the South Pacific in dead earnest. The ships-of-war Barossa and Blanche sre cruising among the islands where the traders in human flesh most do congregate, and it is to be hoped will succeed in catching a few of them to make examplesof.

ALL QUIET ALONG THE LINE. Gathering of the Clans and the Henchmen Pre- paring for the Contest—Six Bushels of O’Brien Ballots—A Dollar and a Quarter a Thov- sand for Folding Tammany Tickets. The two great opposing armies of the Presidential campaign are finally ranged in battle order for the last grand charge. The disastrous skermishes of October have had their effect upon the two grand! armies, encouraging one and tending to demoralize the other; but they were as miniature contests compared to the great struggle for which the armies now wait. The rush of orderlies about the fleld, the rapid issue of orders, the excited move- ment of aids and generals, the waving of signal flags, and the other accompaniments that make up the precursory movements of tne battle, all indi- cate that the most exciting moment of actual war- fare, that where no blow can be struck, and yet blows are needed every instant, is upon the cow- mon soldiery of THE OPPOSING ARMIES. It was the universal opinion of the men who served in the rank-and file of the armies during the rebellioa that there was no time in @ battle so wretched, 80 provocative of heart sicxness, of terror, of all the horrors of war, as that moment just betore the battle when they silently waited tor the order to “goin.” Thisis the wretched moment that is now upon the armies of the political cam- paign, They must wait silently and inuctively for the shock of the coming battle, wherein one army must go down and the other triumph. Which will it be ? is the terrified ejaculation of each, and eve the most hopeful asks the question with doubt and trembling. In New York yesterday 5 NOT A SIGN on the city’s streets indicated the coming exl- gency, except the fluttering and damp embiems of party preferences stretched across the thorough- fares. “Jimmy” O’Brien, attended in some places’ by a kindly Goddess of Liberty, in others by an ap- Lae oy Genius of Commerce, still announces om his high rostrum, above the heads of the horses in Broadway, that he is the “champion of reform,” “the founder of ditto.’’ and the chief en- ganees of dozens of other valuable improvements in_ municipal matters. Grant and Wilson, from similar perches, proclaim that ohe good turn deserves another; and Greeley and Brown, from similar positions, declare for reconciliation, peace and self-government, but beyond these—and Rahs pty lh. they flappe drearily in the mud and rain, and failed completely to inspire a single fresh soul to their support— there was no stir of nanan no bugle call to stragglers, no marchti and countermarching— only the dreadful nllence Of that anxious moment the eve of battle. SOME OF THESE EMBLEMS are rather confusing to the ordinary mind seeking | plein intelligence. It would be imposible, for stance, to form any conclusion as whether forages O’Brien or Havemeyer were tne real J reform; for all of aa in their banners claim that honor, and it would by equally dimcult to decide wehther Drarien the candidate of the Grant or otra ‘Dix or Kernan party. for his own! pert ae with impartial fondness, smiles blandly, above Grand at one point and above Gree- ley and Kernan at another. The most natural de- duction from these inharmonious cambinations seem to be that in the battle forthcoming he leada the guerrilla forces, made up of Wpda a a tet from bt ovine armies, intent on preying on friend and foe alike. At the THREE NATIONAL HEADQUARTERS yesterday all was silent. The active generals who lanned the battle of to-morrow have removed heir quarters, like most gener: to asafer part of the field, thence to overlook the ight and conduct the operations. At re- the publican headquarters the stakes and tent- pins of the marque alone remain. A rude banner, with Grant and Wilson fy el it, still dec- orate the wall; ner of Grant, in tanner’s Sees and Wilson rs apron on, It lenesonfely upon the mantel, and a few cam documents strew the floor; but the life of the con- cern ts gone, and only one nolltary worker remain: like the Chicamangus, when ull others had fled, to sal t ns his far away chief how the battle goes on at his feet.

Shaking these out they quickly sonant each individual slip and flattened it down where the wrinkles marked its proper folding place. Notwithstanding the large number engaged and the rapidity with which they worked, many hours were passed in this manner, THE THIRTY-FOURTH STREET CLUB-HOUSE, At the old Andrew Jackson club-house on the corner of Thirty-fourth street and Lexington avenue, there were yesterday afternoon large numbers congregated ‘discussing the chances of success, and the vartous details of electtonee! devices bie ned to make success more assured. The immedi roximity of a well-stocked bar had the effect of distracting the attention of those assembled from the important nts at issue, and their reasoning, like their drinks, early became rather mixed. Down the avenue, at the corner of Thirtieth street, the present location of THE ANDREW JACKSON CLUB, there was more animation and scarcely less drink- ing. Several bibulous individuals were there sip- ping the intoxicating compounds for which the eed is famous far and wide, and long rows of ligconsolately sober people were gazing on the picture with eyes denoti an unenviable condi- tion ofmind.
