SIR JOHN FRANKLIN. Trials, Troubles and Tribulations of the Pioneer Explorers. The True Story. of Franklin and His Adventurers. Half a Dozen Frozen to Death and All Started on the “Long Jour- ney” Years Ago. Recovery of Silverware and Other Relies of the Unfortunate Expeditionists. New BeprorD, Mass., Oct. 6, 1873, It 1a now half a century or thereabouts since the matter of looking up the North Pole was first agi- tatea, and it 18 almost as long since Sir John Frafiklin and his little band of adventurers left England in search of that still undiscovered clime, ‘The story of Franklin’s departure, the succeeding anxiety throughout the civilized world over the safety and success of the pioneer explorer and his followers, is ag familiar and universal as the fact that the sun rises in the east and sets in the west. Wt has also passed into history that Franklin and his party failed in the purposes of their expedition, and there is no doubt but every one of them closed their eyes and started on the long journey years $0. Eady Franklin, it will be remembered, hoped Against hope up to the last moment, and it was only a very few years ago that she reconciled her- self and shared in the popular belief that sbe was really a widow. Nothing very de- finite, however, has until now been heard from these early explorers of the frigid gones, The multitude of expeditions which have gone out since in search of Franklin and in search of the fountain-head of the aurora borealis have each and every one of them been miserable failures. The earliest expedition— the one which Sir John Franklin § him- velf organized and commanded—was ithe most successful of any if earnestness, persever- ance and daring are to be taken into account. Nothing ever came ofit, as everybody knows, but there was a pluck and determination exhibited which has not been equalled by any succeeding ex- plorers. IF THERE IS A NORTH POLE ite whereabouts 1s still a connundrum, and after the English and American governments “give it up” perhaps some enterprising Yankee or some enterprising journal like the New YORK HERALD ‘will engage in solving it for the benefit of humanity and general civilization. So tar as RELIABLE INFORMATION FROM SIR JOHN FRANKLIN ¥s concerned it has been reserved for a New Bed- ford whaling captain to discover and for the New York HERALD to disseminate. On the 19th of July, 4871, the whaling bark Glacier left this port on a whaling expedition in command of Captain Edwin A. Potter, Although a young man and scarcely yet the prime of lile, Captain Potter has spent no 8 than seven winters in the Arctic regions, This it voyage, one which has furnished fresh tiaings pf Franklin and his followers, has occupied about éwenty-six months, dating trom the departure of she Glacier from New Bediord to her revurn, WHAT THE ESQUIMAU NATIVES 8AY ABOUT FRANKLIN. “I was there nearly two years this last time,’ Daptain Potter told the HERALD correspondent, *and during most of the time I was in the 1mme- @iate vicinity of where Franklin and his party abandoned the vessels,” “How near?” I asked, “Well, 200 miles, or, perhaps, not more than 175, bus you must remember we don't think so much of a mile there as we do here,” tne Captain @nswered with a twinkle. Continuing, he said, “We were at Repulse Bay, but YBANKLIN ABANDONED HIS VESSELS AT KING WIL- LIAM'S LAND, and the natives came over from King William’s to She bay to trade with me, and told me all they knew about Franklin and his men.” “How did they know you were at the bay?” I inquired. “Why, Captain Hall told them.” “Then you met Captain Hall, did you—the same one that went out in the Polaris 1”? “Met him! Well, I should rather say so. I put ert ee @ whole winter, and, besides all “4 : ‘Lor INTO ME ABOUT A THOUSAND DOLLARS, gnd I never got a cent, and of course don’t expect to get anything now." “Well, suppose we drop Captain Hall for the present. Tell me about Franklin and what the na- tives said about him,” I remarked, somewhat en- thusiastically and impatiently, Alter reflecting fora moment, and with the aid a afew questions, Captain Potter went on with tory, or, rather, Y OF THE Na’ THE STOR’ TIVES, “One party of them,” the Captain said, ‘came over from King Williams to the Bay to trade with me. They were sadly in need of pots, kettles and cooking utensils, and, as I had plenty, Iwas ane to accommodate them. I was surprised when found the compensation they had to offer me was silver spoons and silver forks. If I nad put ‘nto port in Gloucester, or anywhere in Ben Butler's district, I shouldn’t ‘have thought so much about it, but away out at e . THRESHOLD OF THE NORTH POLE. Iwas startled to seesuch articles offered in trade. The natives saw 1 was surprised, and were evi- dently much pleased. lasked where they got them, and they sai “THEY BELONGED TO MR. FRANKLIN.”? “Could you understand their language?’ I asked. “Oh, yes, pretty well. I have been with them a Ei. deal, and, besides, one or two of them spoke ig well enough for you or any one to under- stand. “Of course you traded with them?” I said in- quiringly. “Yes, and I have got the spoons and forks here now and willshow them to you.” Saying which the Captain went to a drawer and drew out THE VALUABLE RELICS, They consisted of two iarge tablespoons, two large four-tined forks, one common teaspoon and an ordinary bar or sugar spoon, all of ancient attern and all showing unmistakable signs of ex- Fraoruinary wear and tear in some service or other, The smail teaspoon was of German silver, but the other spoons, as well as the forks, were PURE METAL—SOLID SILVER, On one of the large spoons and one of the large forks were the somewhat indistinct outlines of BIR JOHN FRANKLIN'S COAT-OF-ARMS, consisting of an upright Indian, with bow-and- arrow in hand, the whole figare being almost wholly surrounded by @ wreath, The maker's mp on the spoon, bearing this coat-of-arms de- is “W.

N.,” which Captain Potter believes to mean “Royal Navy.” Besides these reiics of Sir John Franklin the Captain obtained, in the way of trade, some 500 skins, Cad | which are those of the Polar bear, musk ox, wolverine and ther species, § Yon’ have no doubt,” I remarked to the Cap- tain, “that all these trophies are genuine?’ “GENUINE | GENUINE | MA DO YOU TAKE ME FOR “No joking, Captain,’ was my reply, and as the Captain himself was in not a happy mood, all that ‘Was subsequently gaid was cenflued strictly to ROUGH, STERN AND IMPORTANT FACTS. “A very old man,’’ said Captain Potter, ‘came down trom King William’s Land. He started with the same party that I traded with at the Bay.

Kindred feeling for the Esquimaux. “I have always found them gentle, kind and friendly,” he remarked, and I believe them when they say that FRANKLIN AND HIS PARTY DIED FROM NATURAL CAUSES, Old age, scurvy, or the inclement weather killed them, and 1am {nclined to the belief that Ca were all frozen to death. Interpreting what al the natives told him, Captain Potter makes the pet hat there was @ difference between ‘ol and his followers when they arrived at King William’s, Immediate! upon leaving the ship, disagreement and jealousy followed about the direction in which foez were to travel, A day or two's talk resulted in the largest party gomgin the direction of the Red River and the smaliest party m_ the direction of the Hudson’s Bay Company's territory. Which arty Captain Franklin united himself with is a elicate conundrum; but the theory of his death and the death of all of hia original followers is one of those lamentable facts which the civilized world should mourn, MORE OF FRANKLIN'S SILVER PLATE ON THE WAY. The giving out of the dogs is tne excuse that Capita Potter offers for not bringing more relics of the pioneer explorer, The 200 miles which inter- yened were too much for the feeble canines, and they gave out when the journey was half eom- pleted. On account of this the quantity of relics is Teduced; and disease took away one oi the elderly natives who was coming over trom King Wil- liam’s to the bay to tell Captain Potter and the HERALD what he knew of the privations, persever- ance and death of Sir John Franklin, 4 PRACTICAL WORD ABOUT THE NORTH POLE SEARCHES, Captain Potter, though modest to a fault, couldn't let the HERALD reporter away without giving vent to his views about the North Pole busi- ness, He knew Hall and Buddington and, all of the “red tape’ boys, as he expressed it, but he be- lieved that if the North Pole was what was wanted he could pick out # crew of adozen and find it al- most instantly. He administered arebuke more forcible than clever to the Navy Department, and if it was not for violating the Captain’s confidence J should not hesitate to reproduce it. I will go back on the old tar to the extent of sharing with him im the wager that if the bonfire which furnishes the northern lights 1s ever extinguished, neither the English nor American goyernmenis will pe charged with Incendiarism, ENGLISH ARCTIC EXPEDITION. important Explorations of the Steam- ship Diana. [From the London Standard, September 29.) The steamship Diana, having on board Mr. B. L. Smith’s exploring party, arrived in Dundee on Saturday, It will be recollected that Mr. Smith hired the Diana from Mr. Lamond for a voyage of discovery in the Polar seas, and left Dundee in May last, Subjoimed are particulars of the voy- age:—The Diana left Dundee on the 10th of May last, having on board Mr. B. L. Smith, the head of the expedition; the Rev. A. E. Eaton, naturalist; Mr. H. 0. Chermside, R. E.; Mr. R. E, Potter, son of Mr. Potter, M. P.; Captain Fairweather, and a crew of twenty-one hands. Nothing eventful oc- curred on the voyage out, and the ice was reached to the eastward of Jan Mayen Island, Along the ice edge A PASSAGE WAS FORCED till latitude 75, here the ship got into an open sea, A few seals were encountered, About 79 deg. 30 min. there is usually a large bay of water, but the ship was unable to penetrate in that direction; and ultimately, in consequence of a heavy gale, the Diana was obliged to seek one of the harbors on the Spitzbergen coast. On the 7th of June she got into King’s Bay. It may be stated that the Diana had, as a tender, Mr. Smith’s own sailing yacht, the Samson, which carried coals, provisions, &c., aud the rendezvous for the meeting of the vessels was Kobbe Bay. Accordingly, on reaching that opening, a boat was sent ashore to ascertain whether tue Samson had arrived. lt was iound she jad not, and 60 Mr. Smith proceeded in the direction of Mosell Bay. On the way a smack was spoken, and she communicated the intelligence thut the Swedish expedition was lying beset in the bay. Soon the Swedes were descried, and, when tiey observed the Diana bearing down upon them with ail her flags flying, they ran Lees the ice to met her. The ‘Swedish vessels were iying close in shore, and between them and the Diana there were about three and a hall miles of fast floe, in many places seven feet thick, The unfortunate explorers were soon on board the Diana, and the treatment they experienced from Mr. Smith excited their deepest thankiuiness, ‘Tne expedition was headed by Pro- lessor Nordenskiold, and was supported by the government, Arrangements were made for the expedition leaving sweden in the summer of 1872, the vessels engaged being the Poiheen, an iron Steamer 01 200 tons; the government sailing brig Giadan, and a Gothenburg steamer, in which ao observatory was set up, ‘The party were in COMPLETE DARKNESS in November, except what light was obtainea from the aurora, In the end of April a sleigh boating party started north, the intention being to get as near the Pole as possible, Four boats were taken as Jar as Hinlopen Straits, and as soon as the party got across the p: fe, two were leit on the horth side. They made their way to Parry’s Island, crossing from the north cape on the tcé. The ice from the northward was so strong that the idea of anextensive journey in that direction was out of the question. Hearing about Phipps’ island, they went acress the land noe to the nortucast land, Of this land patches of open water were seen. REINDEER AND BEARS were seen along the north coast; but the opera- tions er the party were considerably hampered 0; the fuct that they lost @ herd of reindeer whic! they had taken with them. From this most eastern point they struck iniand across the country and succeeded in walking their way over Hiniopen Straits, Thence they travelled by Shoal Point, where they had left two boats, in which they made the passage to Verbegen Hooks, whence it is ouly tweive miles to Mosel Bay. This may be consid- ered A VERY MEMORABLE EXPEDITION, The exact distance travelled 18 not known, but the party, which only numbered about a dozen, had to encounter very severe weather, and were actually away from the ship for sixty days. Betore Mr. Smith left the Swedish vessels, the provisions which they d were calculated, and it was found that in all probability they would last till the ice would break up. On the 30th of June the ice broke, and the brigantine at once bore up for home, the Polheen going in search of the boat and other things she had lost. The voyage of the Diana may be briefly summed up as iol- Jow: “A succession of gales was experienced, the weather on almost all occasions when the ship was in the open sea being such that, although she was provided with complete apparatus for sound- ing deep-sea temperatures, &c., very little of what was intended has been accomplished. Owing to the unfavorable nature of the Ice, little in the way of exploration has been possibie. The time had, however, been very fully occupied in dredging, trawling, SE ee surveying and making as complete anc perfect collections as circum- stances permitted of the flora of Spitzbergen. Mr. Smith has ascertained that the North Cape is situ- ated on an island separated by a sound trom the Mainland, and to this extent a knotty point has been determined.” A CARD FROM COLONEL LUPTON, Dr. Walker and the Polaris. WASHINGTON, D. C., Oct. 8, 1873. To THE EDITOR OF THE HERALD:— 1 notice in yesterday’s HeRaLp (7th inst.) a scurrilous (characteristic) communication from Dr. David Walker, San Francisco, Cal., signing himself “formely Chief of the Scientific Corps of the Polaris’—a position he coveted, but never held, having merely been for a short time (some five or six weeks) under engagements as surgeon-nat. uralist only, of the United States North Polar ex- dition; but, reiusing to resign when asked to lo 80, was formally discharged therefrom, for cause, by Captain U.

Secretary of the Navy into the being “relieved” for incompatibility, &c. ‘The main portion of the Doctor's ‘card, emanat- ing a8 it does from aconcelted, egotistical English- man, soured and disappointed withal, may pass at its value, but with his fippant charges against the heroic dead, of bad temper, quarreisome ness, ee disposition and profanity, 1 take direct I had known the late Captain Hall intimately and well for twenty years; had been watchfully observ- ant of him in most diverge relations and vicis- situdes of his eventful life, under ex- citement, when aggrieved, imposed upon, stabbed in the back by false friends or sorely ansioug’ time’ Than ‘by thie” sajag” gedgnbypore anxious time, ed Qudy “gcientist,” with whont he Hore aA Horcbore 3 the uttermost), yet | bear cheerful testimony that he was naturally of an equabdle disposition—siow to take offence, peaceabie, cind hearted, unselfish toa fault, infexibly just and iatr minded, deeply imbued with a sense of responsibility to God and his fellow men—in his inmost heart the knightly, Cea in te (De A le further e tor categorical, charges, “Ican vouch tor Hall cursin; iy i twenty years never heard an oath ora profane word fail from Hall’s lips, nor do I believe that any mortal man everdid, Neither dol remember ever to have heard him, under any circumstances, make an unseemly jest or indulge in the use of ribald or vulgar language.

How Know Nothing Reformers Are Rewarded. LETTER NO. 2 FROM JOHN M’'KEON. To THE EDITOR OF THE HERALD :— In my last communication I promised to show the results of the labors of the Executive Com- mittee of Political Reform, and I now proceed to full my promise, We have given the names of that committee as appended to their /amous cir- cular, WHO THEY ARR, Most of these names have since figured on the “Committee of Seventy” and in appointment to lucrative offices. On the Committee of Seventy we find Henry Nicoll, Geonge Barrett (since made Judge of the Supreme Court), D. Willis James, William F, Havemeyer (since made Mayor of the city), Robert Hoe, Henry Ciews (lately financial agent of the government of the United States), H. N. Beers (secretary of the Political Reform Club, ana now in the cabinet of Mayor Havemeyer), Hooper C, Van Vorst (since elected Judge of the Superior Court), John Wheeler and Severn D, Moulton (both former members of the Native Ame- rican and Know Nothing factions, appointed by Mayor Havemeyer Commissioners of Taxes). This circular was sent to all the religious de- nominations in the city and State, except Roman Cutholic. In obedience to its call reverend and po- litical clergymen commenced their assaults on Catholics, Mr, Havemeyer, who, according to the circular, presided at the first meeting of the Council, ‘was nominated for Mayor. Previous to the elec- tion the New York Times declared that’the demo- cratic party was simply THB TOOL OF THE IRISH CATHOLIC LABORERS and their demagogues in this city,” and in the same editorial in which this sentiment was avowed, referring to our city population, it remarked :— It is also the lowest laboring classes which increase the most rapidly, as is the experience everywhere in the ci ized world. Our political power follows population, the result Is that the governing power of this portion of the State, and in consequence the whole is tast centring itself in the ranks of the lowest a! igno- Tant classes of the whole community—the Patholic laborers and tenement-house population of New York and its vicinity, led by shrewd native demagogues. Each year gives ‘this class a greater numerical value. The: work together as a compact battalion under able an: audacious leaders. They control in the city administra. tion enormous sums of money. Where they are defi- clent in votes they can create them. The timid or the ambitious Americans who have belonged to the same party. organization have not nerve or principle enough to separate themselves from these useful associates, Whom cially they despise. The same article charged that the Irish Catholics aimed at the absolute possession of the revenues of this metropolis; at founding the Catholic Church here, so that it could not easily be shaken; that they aimed a blow at our American schools, and added, that “unless some great revolution should break out the Board of Education of this city would be thoroughly Roman Catholic, as ‘Tammany is now.’ After Havemeyer’s nomination and immediately preceding his eléction sermons were delivered in several charches on the political situation, in ac- cordance with the suggestions of the Beers circu- lar. The Rev. Mr. Boole addressed his congrega- tion as follows: The public schools are now inthe hands of drunken trustees, who ought to be in primary classes learning to read; and the Bible is being put out of the schools as fast as they cando it. Reierring to the Council of Political Retorm, he thought they lacked courage and were wa- yering.’ Stil, he thought it was, on the whole, best to follow their advice as to whom to Vote for. But he urged every man to bolt parties and vote only for the best men; but for himself, he would not vote for any Roman Catho- lic, since it Is the avowed purpose of that Church and its adherents to place the Church above the State. The Rev. Mr. Asten, belonging to the same sect with Mr. Boole, spoke as follows :— He said that, we were gradually getting into a union of Church and State, a great curse tor any nation, and that the power of the Cutholic element was to be feared in its corruptibility and in the amount of pecuniary help it received at the hands ot the State. What earc these men what becomes of the nauont It is ours to cry the alarm, Then go and change ail that. Find aremedy in organizing yourselves into @ patriotic torce, breaking away trom party lines, demanding the most intelligent men for ollice, and wate the discharge of their duty. You say THE TASK 18 MERCULEAN; that the name of tae opposition is legion: that there is no hope. Wil you let this tide of corruption roll on and on because our numbers ure small? On this principle all the grand moyements of the world would not have come to anything. Think of Christ Himself and what He has to coutend with, The remedy for this is to yote tor those You have a right to know will be most patriotic, without Tegard to color, religion or politics. But I can’t see how ‘atliolic can come up to this. To be a true isto swear fealty to this country. How can atholics do who hold another power to be supreme over all? Another reverend gentleman (Fletcher Ham- bler) spoke as follows: He launched into a furious tirade against “Papists,” gharging them with Imaye worship and passionately dwelling on the crueities of the Inquisition. Catholics should be energetically opposed; honest delegates elecied; honest nomiuations made, Until this pe done no reform can be effected. wemonstrate with the Romish clergy, and hold them responsible for the crimes of thelr eople. If Francis Kernan is a bigoted Roman Catholic, Benteying in the infailibility of the Pope, vote agelust him by all means. These appeals were not without their effect. The clergy in the rural districts to whom the circulars were addressed were not idle. The result showed the election by 50,000 majority of Dix over Kernan, charged with being a Roman Catholic, and Have- meyer (the fist to presiae over the Political Reiorm Cabal, with Beers as secretary) was elected Mayor. Anti-Catlolic members of the Assembly were se- cured even trom this city. THE TRIUMPH OF THE BEERS CIRCULAR was complete. The Executive of the State, the Executive of the city, the majority of the Legisia- ture were in accord with the Council of Political Retorm, and their mission could easily be fulfliled. ‘Tne Legislature at once passed a law to remodel the Board of Education in this city. Instead of vi ug the same power which is granted to the Tural districts of the State—the power to elect our school officers—the Legislature gave to Mayor Havemeyer the appointment of the men who were to control the schools. They also passed a law au- thorizing the appointment by Mayor Havemeyer of commissioners, who should, without yuge or jury, seize the children of the poor found in the streets and dispose of them as these commissioners might think proper. This was @ scheme for proselytizing the children oi the poor and sending them in exile out of the State. Ihave not the time to follow the whole of the legisiation against Catholic foreigners, Let me inquire by whom tnis legislation was engendered? Among |. the most persistent was Mr. Dexter A. Hawkins, who had rendered himself notorious by the publi- cation of bitter and insu'ting attacks on the Vath- olics. AS a member of the Union League Club he published statements which were so wanting in truth that they evoked from the Sisters of Charity and irom Father Donnelly, of St. Michael’s church, and from other reputable parties, replies showing the utter falsity of nis charges. And yet this man might have been seen, ‘ike some 1ill-omened bird of prey,” hovering around the Capitol at Albany, lobbying in support of these anti-Catholic move- ments, and that, too, at the expense of the public treasury of this city, which was sustained by taxa- tion on Catholics, whom he had misrepresented and reviled, Under the commands of the Council of Political Reform Governor Dix has reformed out of office every man SUSPECTED OF BRING IRISH OR CATHOLIC. He has not appointed any one on the Commission of Emigration in any manner devoted to Catholic or Irish interests, To all the other commissions the same rule of action hag been applied by the Governor. We now turn to Mayor Havemeyer and examine his conduct, He has removed every man connected with the Irish or Catholics trom the Com- mission of Charities and Correction. He has placed but one Roman Catholic on the Board of Education in this city, where there are hundreds of thousands of Catholics, He has declined to nominate Police Justice any man who is known io pé Catholic, while he has made hombiatiohs of men who are openly denounced as having been engaged in infamous etplorme ts, He has offensiveiy, in an Tae Pha ished in the daily press, stigma- tized thé Trish Catholics as office beggars, and as much as tells them that a4 are in @ minorit, and they must submit to his imperial will. He gives statistics to fabport hus theory that for- eigners, and particularly the [ri are in a minor- ity in tois Aa The Mayor gets his figures from returns of the foreign born population of dhe city, while he ignores entirely the fact that there is a very large native born Catholic population in this city and most of them New Yorkers by birth, which ismore than can be said of Beers, Hawkins aod others, who ai YANKEE CARPET-BAGOERS and only have these rights under the constitution of the United States, which gives these foreiguers the same rights in this great State, The Mayor has algo nominated for appointments as Commissioners to arrest poor children, under the new law, men who are im no wise connected in Sympathy with the poor Irish and Catholic children, le has taken care that one intimal connected with Geu- eral Dix should be brought from Boston to fill one Of these places. On the Police Commission not one man connected with Irish or Catholics has been nominated by Mayor Havemeyer. He has nominated Oliver Charlock as one of tue Commission—a very proper nomination un- r the circumstances, close com- munion with bigotry and prejudice is to be found in the fact that when Havemeyer was Mayor, twenty years ago, and nominated lor for the Police Department (Taylor then being a leading then in ht be wiser, | man in the anti-lrish or anw-Catholic organization of the day), Charlock, then being a member of the Common Council, sustained the Mayor in his big- ted’ nomination, Now, when he is in power as ‘olice Commissioner, and the selection of inspect- ors of election has to be made by the Police Com- missioners, Mr. Charlock refers for approval the best Of hames presented by Apollo Hall to this same Mr. Beers, who is the paid secretary and shel orgpei met of the gang of bigots of the Coun- cil of Political Reform. Rumor says Charlock is to be the ‘Tainmany candidate jor Senator in @ Sen- atorial district where there is a large Catholic and Irisn adopted citizen vote. Does he want Know Nothing inspectors to conduct his election cam- wign’ Let him ve elected by ail means, and by and Catnolic votes. THIS SPIRIT OF PERSECUTION ‘ is spreading. ‘he latest news from San Francisco (received within a jew days) shows that it is ram- pant and has its organization there. ‘The following correspondence in the World shows its evils: San Francis Sept. 1, 1873. six weeks a “ we brulted about When, . around that instead of the Chinese question the real issue in our election was to be religion, the papers scofled at the ide nd pevh-poohed the same. as yet seen & understood that “Crescenta” who should and who tinies of the State.

On the day of the late election no one observed, tor they knew thein not, the silent workers ot the “Crescent,” but at the close of the polls the report started—which has this morning proved true—that they did work, and through that work defeated all save one Catholic tor school Virector aud one for District Attorney. Already the report gains credence that E. B. Drake, a goed man, upright and just, will be deteated, because Lis wife is a Roman Catholic, One would suppose that this line of conduct would arouse the indignation of the peopie of this city, whose leelings, Wuose interests, whose couutry and whose religion had been so studiously assailed aud insulted. Not so. Not one word of protest is raised, On the contrary, ‘'ammany ‘on its records @ resolution congratulating the city on the election of Mr. Havemeyer. Not one member of the Tam- many General Committee has offered 4 resolution to rescind this resolution aud so vo condemn Mr. Havemeyer. More than this, it seems as if no one dare assail the Mayor, The reason is, his nomi- ees are members of the General Committee. They are members of the Tammany Society. Ove of them is Secretary of the Tammany Society. Messrs. Samuel J. Tilden and John Kelly nave been the chiei supporters of this anti-[rish and anti-Catholic Mayor, and have solicited appointments at nis hands, The Tammany members of the Common Council have sustained his nomination. Men claim- ing to be Irish and to be Roman Catholics have en- dorsed the action of this Know Nothing Mayor. it may be asked why? Because they wanted and ob- tained for their friends a tew paltry oifices; and for this they have not the courage or the manhood to denounce the man who had shown his contempt for their race and creed. Apoilo Hall fnds also time and Opportunity to denounce Green, the Comp- trouver, but hus ne word of condemuation for the anti-lrish, anti-Catholic Mayor. The truth is, that either the Know Nothing spirit controls both or- ganizations, or the servile, ilck-spittle spirit of the ouice-hunter is superior to the little manhood which may be in the two erganizations. ‘the peo- pie will ask, What is the remedy?

The truth is, their leaders have been so devoted to obtaining petty offices tor themselves and their retainers that they have forgotten What was due to the vindication of the character and feelings of the erene Mass Of those with whom they were identi- ed. Against whom is this persecution raised? Against a sect of which a Protestant writer thus speaks :— Ifthe Catholic Church hasdone nothing more than to preserve to us, by painful solicitude and unrewarded toil the precepts tnd intellectual treasures of Greece and Rome. she would have been entitied to our everlasting gratitude. Buther hierarchy did not merely preserve these treasu: they taught the modern world Low to use them.

The Landing Boats and Hospital Ar- rangemen: [From the London Daily Telegraph, Sept. 29.) A novel aspect was presented on Saturday by the large pier at the Royal Arsenal, Woolwich, being covered from end to end with boats for the Ashan- tee expedition. These boats, twelve in number, which are for landing the troops on the Gold Coast! willeach accommodate thirty men, and resemble in size the pinnaces of @ man-ofwar. They were made and supplied under a pressing contract, within eiguteen days, and another dozen were or- dered at the same time to be sent in within twenty- five days. They are strongly bat roughly built, and will each cost about £60. One hundred and filty oars or paddies accompany them. There is always a high surf all along the Gold Coast, and no boats but surf boats can depend upon landing in saiety. The Bonny, which takes them out, has two surf boats of her own, built in the same shape as these, but smaller, and she also carries two iile boats. Gangs Of natives are usually bired to land goods and passengers, and under their skil- ful management tt i: dom that one of Luese surf boats ships a sea. he lading of the Bonny was finished on Saturday by putting on board the re- mainder of the 100 barrack huts, which are being sent out to form an encampment for the troops, ‘The doors and other parts of each hut bear corre- sponding numbers, and the materials, being very bulky, speedily took up all the room there was to spare in the ship, except a space reserved in the magazines jor 100 tons of small-arm ammunition, which will be taken on board to-day. Among the last things embarked on Saturday were filty cases of jams, jellies and preserved fruits for the hospitals, and the large quantity of medical com:orts as well as medicine sent out with the expedition shows that the authorities are not unmindful of the sick. The supply of ice, so valu- able an auxiliary in cases of fever, is ensured by a consignment of @ ton of freezing salt delivered in barrels by a patent ic¢ company in London, The “mixture,” as if is called orf board, is said to be of an explosive character, so dangerous that te owners of the ship have generaily forbidden its carriage, but arrangements are made for having it carefuily watched during the Voyage, and no portion Of it has been mixed with the general cargo. The foul condition of the water on the Gold Coast will be in some measure coun- teracted, not only oy the liberal issue of jarge filters, but by supplying the troops with smail and portable ones, Two hundred “pocket filters’ are sent outin the Bonny—simply cakes of charcoal, scarcely 80 large a8 ordinary drinking Masks, an each provided with atube., The little filter being put into the water, be it never so foul, it is said that @ man may draw tie liquid pure through the tube and drink it without risk. Fifty of the Lipscombe charcoal filters have been sent and as many more are to foliow. These fliters, which are enclosed in wicker coverings, cost about £1 a piece. The ocket filters are usually sold at from 5 shillings to 0 shillings. The Bonny, having taken the twelve surf boats on her deck, left the pier on Saturd: evening and brought up alongside the floating md- Ge to receive her ammunition. She shipped ler crew yesterday Morning at eight o’clock and will probably sailon Wednesday. Another large ship—the filth employed in conveying matermis from Woolwich to the Gold Coast—is expected um- mediately, NAVAL ORDERS. Commander George A.

An Attempt to Enlist Workingmen Into the Revival, i A TALK WITH THE CURE. The Fascinations of Church Traditions and Their Effect on the Devotee, Lresse, August 17, 1873, The town of iiess: is a sleepy little place between Laon and Rheims. It contains about fifteen hundred inhabitants and a considerable floating population of pilgrims, for the pilgrimages goon all the year round, even in the depth of winter. The country around is bare and bleak, the soil poor, and little but rye or beetroot can be got out of it. The Prince of Monaco, a prince of a pleasant sort, is,the greatest of the iocal mag. nates, and has the good sense to prefer the life of a@ country gentleman in France to KINGING IT IN A SMALL WAY at Monaco. Perhaps because he has unhappily lost his right for atime. He maintains consider- able state at the Castie of Marchais, and is hos- pitable, good natured and open handed. The estate on which he resides for a great part of the year is one of the few large landed properties still kept together In France. The house is really a fine old house, and itis surrounded by about four hundred acres of park, very little of1t being under cultivation, It has good shooting, good fishing and some deer. The walks and drives about it are admirably kept. It is wonderful that so finea place should have escaped the changes and chances of 80 many revolutions. The Prince of Monaco takes no public part in the pilgrimages to Liesse, but his neighbor, the Marquis de St, Vallier, who resides at the CASTLE OF coucY, 1s one of the chiefleaders and promoters of them. Liesse itself 1s not a lively place, and the natives appear to be rather bored by pilgrims, as by per- sons disposed to awake and stir them up at un- seasonable hours. They are generally disinclined vo exertion of any kind, averse to boot cleaning, coffee making and dinner getting. There is a pot of coffee, which was made one day last week, standing somewhere in an outhouse. If a pilgrim will wait till a flre is wanted for other purposes pernaps it may be boiled up; perhaps not. If he really wishes to have it warmed he had better go and look for it, “Zenez,” says mine hostess, ‘here 1s the key of the outhouse. I think it was leit there.’ The mode of breakfasting at Liesse ts to walk about near a flat cheese of a dark mahogany color and a strange smell. The native carries a loaf of spongy bread, of the same size and shape as a horse collar, in his left hand; im his right is a clasp pocket-knife, with which he makes occasional grave digs at the morose cheese, Which looks much inclined toresentthem, This repast the native moistens with some violet- colored fluid of extreme sourness, supposed in the neighborhood to be called wine. Then as to dinner. There will be some pork, stewed with potatoes, towards one o’clock, and it-will go on stewing, with occasional additions, till about six o'clock. The piigrim may eat any quantity of that which he can get ladied out to him when he catches the maid of all work, and then he had better be of and make his own bed, for nobody about the inn wiil think of doing so. ‘Ihe funny papers are fond of saying that HOTEL WAITERS ARE THE AGES. At Liesse there is not a hotel waiter in the town, and the only landlord of an inn worth mention did not conceal his opinion in a private talk with me that PILGRIMS BOTHERED HIM. “Ah! mais, out, Monsieur,” added his wife, with a sigh of conviction. zp ‘ THE CURE OF LIESSE is a clergyman of a high type, worn almost to a shadow by fasting and vigils, yet mild-mannered, tolerant, large-minded, induigeat. He is one of those MEN WHO BUY SALVATION DEAR AND SELL IT CHEAP, He had certainly made no more by the pilgrim- ages than the local hoteikeepers. The only ditfer- ence in that respect between him ana them was that the pilgrims did not bore him. I found him hard at work superintending the ; erection of dinner tabies for two thousand poor | pilgrims in the garden of the seminary hard by his dweiling. It was a bare dwelling, with none of the demure snugness of a Protestant rectory about it which speaks so plainly of good cheer and goo: housewuery. * ‘The Curé told me that his parishioners were hon- est, simple folk, very pious and well conducted. “Indeed,’’ said he, ‘it could hardly be otherwise.” We had a long conversation upon the Liesse pil- grimages, and he had an earnest, unafected belief in the eilicacy oi prayer and the provability of miracles resulting trom it. He told me that an en- deavor had been made to lure the Parisian work people gradually irom the suburban wine shop and uancing booth and to provide them with better objects for their Sunday’s outings than riot- ing and tipsiness. “two thousand of them will be here next Sunday,” said he; “they will arrive in the morning; they will return at night. ‘hey will not lose one hour’s lavor and the pilgrimage will cost them less than an excursion to Champigny or Robinson’s Tree. Ihave arranged that they suail have three plentiiul meais auring the day, with wine ingiuded, jor jour francs. By these and other means We hope that we may ultimately be en- abled to introduce the thought of God into the pleasures of the laboring classes.’’ While the Curé spoke I was especially struck with the BEAUTY OF ROMAN CATHOLIC WORSHIP. It keeps faith alive and warm. It is not an un- comfortable Sunday mystery going on between whitewashed wails, ‘here is food lor imagination in that scory of the Eastern princess and the three Christian knights which first made a sanctuary of Liesse, and so there is in most of the Catholic segends. ‘ne Romap Catholic faith addresses itself to the heart and the fancy, and turough them lies the surest way to the soul. The Curé of Liesse seemed well beloved by his flock, and he took me with him to see the distribu- tion of prizes at a girls’ school under his super- vision. It formed a marked contrast to English schools of the same class, and | could not hel noticing how much better these young Frenc'! women were fitted for the business of liie and Low much etter and wore amusingly taught they were than the generality of English girls.

Last Day of the Orange County Associa= tion’s Fair—Fallerton Beats Huntress, Of the numerous county fairs held within a short distance of this city none have been more successful than that of the Orange County Associa- tion, which was brought to a close yesterday at Goshen, the attraction of the day being a double team race for a purse of $100, which had five start ers, and a special race for a purse of $1,500 be- tween Alden Goldsmith’s (President of the Orange County Association) bay mare Huntress, by Volun- . teer, and William Humphrey’s celebrated chest- nut gelding Judge Fullerton, a son of Mr, Robert Bonner’s famous siatlion Edward Everett, Much interest was felt in the race by the admirers of trotting horses in Orange county, from the fact that both Volunteer and Edwara Everett are at present domiciled in Orange county, Volun- teer being on Mr. Goldsmith’s farm at Blooming Grove, and Edward Everett at Mr. Keech’s breed- ing farm at Lagrange. Both Volunteer and Ed- ward Everett are sons of the “old horse” Hambie- tonian. What betting there was on the race made Fullerton the favorite at the odds of 10 to 4, while bets were freely made that “twenty-seven” would be made. As was expected, Fullerton won the race in three straight heats, the mure leading the best part of the first heat; but, woem nearing the third quarter, Dan Mace let the Judge's head loose, and he won the heat by half a length in 2:2734. On the second heat both got away well together, Fullerton at once taking the lead and leading iour lengths to the quarter in 8544 seconds, The same distance separated them at the half in 1:11%, alter which the pace was shortened somewhat, Full ton winning the heat easily by two lengths in 2:26, _ The third heat was a repetition of the two pre- vious ones, Fullerton taking the lead on the turn, and although the mare stuck well to ner work Judge Fullerton won as he liked by two lengths in 2:26 )4. The team race was decidedly good, five horses, well known in the county,, starting, viz.:—A. B. Miller’s bay mare Lena B. and bay mare Nellie Rutherford; W. H. Bennet’s brown mare Netue and mate; J. H. Goldsmith's bay gelding Henry and brown gelding Nautwood; V. Kyerson’s bay mare Fanny and mate, and J. 5. Edsall’s gray mare Jennte Carroll and bay mare Nellie Warwick. In the pools soid on the race tie Goldsmith team had the call, selling at the odds of 5 to 4 over the field. The Rdsall team quickly demonstrated ite ability to beat all in the race by winning the frst heat in 2:5144, Goldsmith's team being the only one having any show, all the others being more than distanced. The jadges, however, decided to have no distance, and, consequently, all started tor the second heat, which was also won easily by Edsali, in 2:514¢, Goldsmith again being second. In the third heat Edsall got pocketed soon after the word, and had to drop back to get clear. By losing 80 much ground he failed to overtake the Coldsmith team, who won the heat in 2:5634. The fourth heat was quickly decided, Edsall taking the lead at the word, was never reached and winning the heat and race in 2:54%, Goldsmitn’s team getting second money, and the Ryerson team third. Both races were promptly trotted on time, much to the delight of a larg attendance, who, to their own gratification, go! away irom the track by five P, M.
