TELEGRAMS TO THE NEW YORK HERALD. Havana, Nov. 6, 1873. Captain General Jouvellar to-day issued an ~oMicial address. He says there is nothing of such pressing inter- -est to the public good and the prestige ana honor Of the nation as the restoration of the normal state of affaira in the Island of Cuba. He proposes to subject everything to this elevated consideration ‘within the limits of the laws. The social position and the exigencies of the present epoch will be the object of special meditation and conscientious study. Notwithstanding war has been initiated he willjseek to determine upon the best plan for changing the condition of laborers, keeping in view agricultural interests and the rights of pro- prietors, the maintenance of productive industry and the general good of the country. He lays down as the basis of his policy the prin- ciple that the mission of all government is to pro- tect. Consequently the fears that inconsiderate resolutions and extreme measures will be adopted ought to cease, Confidence must be renewed; for without it the re-establishment of public credit ‘would be impossible. The address concludes as follows :—‘‘All may rest assured that { will comply with the instructions of the national government, to be untiring in my efforts to procure peace, encourage credit, and pursue fraud, taking care that none of the great interests of the island suffer while I act as your ‘Governor,’ Insurgent Assault and Severely Fatal Repulse.

The President and all the members of the Cabinet, except Mr. Creswell, visited the Loudon county fair, at Leesburg, to-day, and were cord- ially received by the democrats of that place, who were jubilant over their great victory on Tuesday. This is the first time the President has visited Virginia since he was elected to the office, except to attend memorial exercises at Arlington. The distinguished party were the recipients of a bountiful supply of refreshments, Kiss- ing the white babies formed a part of the duty of the President, the colored matrons modestly refraining from putting their juveniles forward. At the reception, however, there was no distinction on account of race, color or previous condition of servivude; black and white were permitted to grasp the hand of the Chief Magistrate. After lunch, interspersed with achoras of champagne corks, the President had an opportunity of listening to Virginia oratory, but aeclined to make a speech. The only audible remark he made was, ‘Please give me a light.’ The Secretary of the Treasury facetiously said, “Silver currency wouldn’t be a bad thing for the Virginia farmers; it would outlast their crops.” The party returned to Washington ata late hour to-night, somewhat fatigued with the ride over the corduroy railroad, Dividends of the First National Bank.

Edwin Booth is to appear as Ciaude to-morzow afternoon, If Dominick Murray's plays were no worse than his acting they would be quite endurable, Mr. Wilkie Collins will make his first appearance in this city on Tuesday evening next at Associa- tion Hall. “Daniel Boone,” piaying at present at ‘the . Bowery Treatre, is by a daughter of Mr. J. T. Ford, of the Grand Opera House, Baltimore, Speaking of justice reminds us that Mrs. Conway is giving it at her own theatre. A play of that name is being enacted there, There is a Napoleon-like strategy in the celerity of Max Maretzek’s managerial movements. He pounces down upon us next Friday evening at the Lyceum Theatre. We congratulate Mr. Strakosch on his candor. He does not call his Sunday concert a sacred con- cert, Sunday concerts and sanctity, like law and justice, are seldom identical. Mr. Edward Arnott, who is shortly to appear at Wallack’s, is a London actor, who has only lately come into notice, and will, probably, fill rdles anal- ogous to those recently interpreted by Mr. Ring- gold. Ifthere ts any peculiar virtue in Mr. Wilkie Col- lins’ own dramatic version of “The New Magdalen, that virtue will be capable of being enjoyed next Monday evening with Carlotta Leclercq in tne titie réle at the Broadway Theatre, Mr. Owens has been playing “The Victims” and “Solon Shingle’ every night at the New Park Theatre, Brooklyn. Both are old pieces, but, under Mr. Owens’ handling, their popularity seems untm- paired. unique. A correspondent, who gives evidence of being trustworthy, complains that last Tuesday evening, while visiting Niblo’s Garden, he detected the leader of a disreputable claque. The correapond- ent first hissed to stop the noise, and then remon- strated with the leader upon the disturbance, and ‘was replied to in threatening language, and placed under @ surveillance that promised to end in an assault. Our correspondent states that he then lodged a complaint at the box office, and was there informed that any person venturing to hiss in that theatre would have his “snoot busted.” Having gathered this experience, our correspondent de- parted entertaining diferent convictions of the theatre trom what he had held on first entering, YELLOW PEVER The Terrible Disease at Length Disap- pearing from Memphis.

Sne was born in England in 1830, She made her début at an early age and gained much celebrity at Mme. Vestris’ theatre, the Lyceum, London. In Octo- ber, 1851, she came out at the Olympic Theatre as Pauline, in the “Lady of Lyons.’’ She was alter- wards engaged in London by James Wallack, Sr., for his theatre on Broadway, near Broome street, in this city. One of the most notable events of her lite was that, while performing in the “Ameri- can Cousin” at Ford's Theatre, Washing- ton, the iamented Lincoln was assassin- ated. The moment the shot was fired, overcome by iright, she ran oi the stage, but returned in time to grasp the assassin in her arms. Miss Keene was brought to this country by the dramatic agent, J. Hall Wilton, in 1862, and ap- peared at Wallack's Theatre September 20, same year, as Albino Mandeville, in ‘The Will.” she was accompanied by her mother and two children. Her maiden name was Lee and her first marriage was contracted with a Mr. Taylor. Aiter remain- ing at Wallack’s for some time she went ‘aeahetrs She returned to New York shortly after, and in November, 1555, opened the Metropolitan Theatre, afterwards Winter Garden, as The Varieties. Joho M. Trimble built her a new theatre, which was opened November 18, 1856, with “As You Like 1t.” ‘This theatre is now known as the Olympic. She first appeared in Philadelphia, at the Wainat Street Theatre, October 23, 1856, as Constance, in “Love Chase.” She continued lessee and man- ageress of the Olympic until the winter season of 1863 and 1864 opened, when she went on a travel- ling tour.

In 1868 she visited Europe, and after a brief absence returned to America, She subse- quently travelled with a dramatic company, but of late years she has been living in retirement. A tew years ago she married a Mr. Lutz. Henry C. De Rham. Henry ©. De Rham, one of the oldest merchants of New York, died suddenly, at his residence, No. 24 Fifth avenue, yesterday morning. He was in the eighty-ninth year of his age and widely re- spected and honored for his high toned character and provity. Mr. De Rham was an active business man during the early Legh of the century, and was among tbe very few who, being engaged in foreign commerce, went safely through the second war with England, so disastrous generally to the busi- ness men of New York. In 1826 he was connected, as an arbiter, with the Greek frigate arbitration, in which the Howlands and the Bayards were con- cerned, and in which Jonas Piatt and Abraham ogden were his fellow arbiters.

THE TENNESSEE STRIKERS REBUKED. KNOXVILLE, Nov. 6, 1873. No adjustment of the trouble between the East Tennessee, Virginia and Georgia Railroad Company and their striking employés has yet taken place. The company got a train of fifteen loaded freight cars from Knoxville to Bristol to-day, being the first freight moved on the line from Bristol to Chattanooga in six days. The company still re- fase to receive freight. The strikers made no at- tempt to stop the train, but sent a committee of their men on the engine to prevent the company’s master mechanic, who was acting engineer, from placing any non-society engineer in charge of the the engine, The mail trains run regularly. The men are quiet, but determined, and the company is frm. The Directory met this afternoon, and unanimously adopted the following resolution :— Resolved by the Board of Directors of the East Tennes- see, Virginia and Georgia Railroad Company, That the order promulgated by Captain Joseph S Jaque Superin- tendent and Vice President, dated October 30 reducing the salaries and wages of the officers and employes of the company is imperatively required in view of the greatly reduced income of the road as explained in said order, and we cordially and unanimously approve the same.

SENS Ss OLIVER CHARLICK EXPELLED. ——-- Wholesale Charges of Tampering with the Election Returns. The Tammany Halt General Committee met in regular monthiy session last night, in the base- ment of the wigwam, in Fourteenth street, and while it rejoiced in the great victory of Tuesday last, and the warriors sat with picasant faces con- gratulating each ot the great tomahawk was cisentombed and swung squarely at the neck of one of the members, who, it was generally believed, 4 month or two ago was prepared todo his level | best in his official position to aid the cause of the organization, Police Commiastoner Oliver Char- lick, member of the General Committee from the Fifleonth district, was ignominiously expelled from the organization by 4 unanimous vote, and a round of yeils and applause followed to ratify the execution of the sentence. The attendance of members was very full, and nearly all the successtul candidates in Tuesday's contest were present, Jon Kelly, the future leader of the Hail; Senators elect Thomas A. Led- with ana John Fox; Aldermen Lysaght, Flana- gan and Reilly; Juige Fowler, Assistant Alderman Healy, John Morrissey, A. T. Ackert, Bernard Reilly, Colooel Wiliam H. Quincy, Frank B. Spinola, Assemblyman elect James Hayes, Judge Leonard, Timothy J. Campbell, William H. Wickham and other well-known members were of the number. The meeting was cailed to order amid clouds of cigar amoke by the chairman, John W. Chanter. Epwanp L. Downsity, Treasurer of the com- mittee, stated that he was unable at present to submit a full report of the financial condition of the treasury, but there was a balance on hand in the funds of the committee of between $2,000 and $3,000, dJoun Ke.Ly then arose from bis seat and said that on THS NIGHT OF TURSDAY Last, at the mass meeting then held in Tammany Hall, a committee had been appointed to watcn the ele tion returns at Police Headquarters, and, tf possi. ble, prevent them being changed or altered in their figures. This was done on account of con- siderable doubt which was expressed by parties in the organization as to the reception of the election returns at the headquarters, especially with re gard to those from the Senatorial districts. He hoped this committee would make @ report and offer for adoption suitable resolutions expressing their views on the subject. JOUN MORRISSBY Said that the Police Department had ased all its forces against this organization in the late election, There were in the Police Depart- ment two supposed democrats, one of whom, Mr. Charlick, went there to beat his meighbor. They had rawed a rebellion there and had been defeated. There were in this organization men of the same nationality, Irish, as he (the speaker) was, namely, Fox, Walsh and Ledwith; but tue Police Commis- sioners did not succeed in achieving that which they aimed at by their dodging. His friend, Mr. Kelly, was very modest in not stating his views at the meeting, “but,” con- tinued Mr. Morrissey, “it will give ime infinite pleasure to offer a resolution to tue effect that MR. CHARLICK BE BXPELLED from this organization, as there was no middle way in this fight between democrats and republi- cans, for the latter were entitled to their money, as they had dearly earned it.’ In conclusion he would beg to move that Olver Charlick be expelled from the organization. Judge LEDWITH arose to second the resolution, or, in other words, as he said, to move an amend- ment to the resolution. He moved that a special committee be appointed to draft suitable resolu- tions, giving satisiactory reasons for this expulsion, as Mr, Charlick obtained his present official position through Tammany Hali. ie would advise them to give expression to their indignation in suitable resolutions, in the Eighteenth Assembly district the Inspectors of Elections were changed on the morn. ing of election and thieves were set to work in their stead, by which he (the speaker) was cheated of from 1,500 to 2,000 votes. This was the reason he opposed the amendment, Mr, MORRISSEY said in answer that Mr. Ledwith was more lenient than he was inclined to be, as in his judgment the resolution did not require any amendment. He would accept it, however, but in his opinion Mr. Charlick deserved no considera- tion or kind treatment at the hands of this body. General F. B, SrinoLa moved to further amend the resolutions, instructing the committee to re- port to the meeting to-night. WILLIAM 8, O'BRIEN, Ol the Fifteenth district, | thought that NO PERSON SHOULD BE CONDEMNED without a fair trial. This suggestion was received with groans and | hisses, but the speaker continued his remarks, disregarding the interruption. He said he never | voted any but the Tammany Hall ticket, and asked | in the name ofthe democracy of New York that | @ fair trial be given Mr, Charlick, They were conquerors, and therefore could afford to be generous. He did not appear deiore them as any man’s pleader or advocate, but was simply & mechanic earning his bread by the sweat of his brow. He was not advocating any person's cause or interest, but simply asked them in the name of | the democracy, which was synonymous with fair play, not to sully their standard by berry J aman who was not present to hear the charges brought against him. Judge Lepwith said he had listened to tne harangues from the gentleman in the Fifteenth district. bea ee had accepted an office at the hands of Oliver Charlick, and #ppeared here to-night to defend him, as CHARLICK MIGHT TURN HIM OUT of his situation if he did notdoso. They would treat Mr. O’Brien as an inoffensive mortal, very indulgently and say nothing harsh, General SPINOLA trusted that the members of the committee would not forget the dignity of the democratic party to-night. ‘hey were not here to abuse Mr. Charlick, but to arraign him, to try him, and, if guilty, to condemn him for treason to this organization. It was owing to his treason that Apollo Hall livea for five minutes in this body. He gave James O’Brien the appointing of Inspectors of Election at the recent contest, and made a pointed attack on the Senatorial candidates in the Fourth, Seventh and highth districts, for the purpose of “COUNTING THEM OUT.’ He held that Mr. Charlick had no claim on this organization, and, in his opinion, Charlick should be condemned to a dungeon, The resolution was then read as amended, that a committee of five be appointed to retire and pre- pare suitable resolutions, to report to this com- mittee. This was adopted unanimously, The committee was appointed by the Chair, and consisted of the following :—Messrs. Algernon 8. Sullivan, F. B. Spinola, Maurice J. Powers, William H. Quincy and Nathaniei Turpenny. An individual in the body of the hall suggested the name of Mr. Morrissey as a member of the commit- ut Mr. Morrissey stated that he could not act upon this committee, as his opinion was already formed about the matter. THE COMMITTEE ON CHARLICK then retired, and @ recess was taken. Before its expiration, however, a motion was carried re- scinding the resolution of recess, and the business of the meeting was proceeded with, Joun KRLLY said the members of the committee appointed at the mass meeting to watch the re- tras at Police Headquarters were present to-night. They had been directed to report to the meeting, but had been unaple to do so from causes which they could Srboeet and he now moved that inasmuch as the authority under which that com- niittee acted emanated from Tammany Hail, they be now permitted toreport, Carried, THE AWFUL STORY, Colonel Joun R, FELLows, who, with Messrs. J. W. Chunler, Algernon S. Sullivan, W. H. Wickham, Charles Swan and A, T. Ackert, constituted the watching Committee, was then invited to the plat- form to report. After detailing the circumstances under which the committee was appointed, he said:—We proceeded to Police Headquarters, and though expecting to return shortly to the mass meeting, found it absolutely necessary to remain at Headquarters from half-past eleven o'clock on election night until four o'clock on Wednesday morning. Up to about three o’ciock in the morning no returns of the vote had been sent In to the Police Commis- sioners from the seventh Senatortal district, and we became satisfied that there was an organized attempt being made there by certain parties in the coalition ranks, atded by certain of the Police Com- missioners, to withhold and manipulate the re- turns from that district so as to count out Judge Leawith and count in Everard, his opponent, ‘Three or four separate times the committee went to the Commissioners and insisted that they should telegraph to that district fete | that the returns should be forwarded thence without any further delay. On the Commissioners express. ing, im @ certain peculiar way, their belief that there was very great danger to be apprehended that the returns woull not be fors warded in time from that district, we became convinced that fraudulent means were about to be practised there. We thought so, too; and, if lam not very much mistaken, ‘we will enlighten the als wel, Commissiopers \wempelves gud the p | reform at the hands of the creat and, if they are ignorant of the practices resorted to, will show them that we know the causes which led to the delay in that district. (Appiause.) On our arrival at Police Headquarters various positions were assigned te the membera of the committee—some were assigned to the telegraph room; others were set to watch the recetpt of the returns below; others to see that when received down stairs they were promptly forwarded up stairs, ae here others to see that when tie returns were read they were read as actu We found that certain gentlemen PI Re ROE Nay INTERESTED IN THR RESULT of our opponents’ success were present and ip conierence with certain of the Police Commis- sioners, all of whose names could pe given now but, inasmuch as steps are being taken to investi: gate Lhe matter oviciaily and punish those against whom offence is proved, | do now deem it wise to use those names to-nigut. However, the gentie- men present were very heavily isterested in the result in the Seventh Senatoriat district, and tigre were plenty witnesses to convince the com- mittee that Lhere was & complete understanding with certain of the Commissioners, aod that toeir scheme was to ve carried out at all hazards, was 4s plain as words could make it, The agent of the Associated Press, who had charge of the re- turns for the Commi: sons to optain the returns from thi trict, finding that the dour was late and no re- turns received, and his managers were unavie to obtain any returns. They reported that the police captains said that they had received positive in- structions to withiold all of these returns Jrom that district and to deliver them in person next moruing.

It 80 happened that there was no check upon the Commissioners, except the reports made by the agent of the Associated Press, which are received as rapidly as are the police returns, and which come from the same places and are derived from the same sources, if, therefore, the Associated Press returos could be delayed or withheld until all the police returns were in, it would be a matter easy of accomplishment to mavipulate the oficial returns and declare them, and to declare further next day that the Associated Press returns were in error, We told the Commissioners what we feared, and expressed to them openly our desire and determination to prevent it. We demanded access to the rooms to see the returns when received. When tirey found that we wore going to stay Uhere until the telegraph was closed aud until the returns were made, 20 matter how long that might be, ordera were quietly trans- mitted to the Seventh district directing the re- turns to be forwarded. WE SAW THE FIGURES as fastas they came in and saw them put down in the lists as reported, and stayed until late in tue morning, and saw that every figure was in and roperly recorded. It is neither possible nor Fravolows for me to detail ali we saw {transpire there, it might thwart our intentionsin investi- gating the matter. It is not an easy matter to fasten oifence,upon @ great power like the Depart- ment of Police in our City, that moves as it does in secret ways to accomplish its objects and is sustained by such vast and intricate enginery. If that Committee had not been appointed that night Ledwith would have been counted out—of — that you may rest assured, It was @ well devised, systematic and elaborate scheme of traud, to whicn certain of the Police Commissioners were parties, and with our evidence we shall lay betore the people a complete chain 0! testimony that will FASTEN THESK MEN TO THEIR CRIMES. (Applause.) It 1s only necessary for me to say, in closing, that Oliver Charlick used all the agencies and power, all the vast machinery and physical force of this county in behalf of the man who was running in direct antagonism to this organization, and giving him every assistance possible by lis voice and countenance, aside from the evidence we shall present that one act of his will justily the action to be taken by your committee appointed to-night. (Applause.) Mr. MORRISSEY then arose and said he had sent eighteen poll cierks down to Charlick the day be- fore election, with @ request that some of them be appointed, but Charlick ignored every one of them. They dian’t want any committee to get at this thing. (Laugater.) Mr. Ledwith wanted a com- mittee. Well, he had won, and was entitled to his victory; but he was too modest. He cou’t send men to the guillotine, as he (Morrissey) would have done. When Tammany Hall wanted poll clerks they were retused; when Apollo Hail sent men down they were appointea. And the few Tam- many inspectors appointed were removed in the night and their places filled by others on election morning, aud Davenport and the captains of police | THREW THE fAMMANY INSPECTORS INTO THE STREET. (Laughter.) Chariick gave Tammany 19 inspectors nd the republicans 100; and yet you appoint a committee on him. Ob, pshaw! (Lauguter and applause.) Mr. Kelly then submitted the following resolu- ton, which was adopted with a tremendous ay :— Whereas there is great reasoa to believe from the numerous charges nade by respectable and reliable per- sons, and from the Various sources trom which the m- iormation has been received, that great trauds were perpetrated at the recent general election in the interest of the combination recently formed between certain controlling spirits of the so-called Apollo Hall organiza- tion and certain leaders of the republican party in this city, by which in many of the election districts inspectors regularly appointed in the interest of the regular dem- cratic Organiza aon of this county were removed on the morning of tae election, without cause, without charges and without notice, and by which others in the mterest ot said combination immediately assumed their places, armed with appointments, regular in 1orm; and in other districts inspectors regularly appointed in the interest of this organization were arrested on the opening of the polls on pretended ch: under fictitious names; watchers appointed by this or- ganization to receive an honest and fair counting of the Votes were in some instances driven trom the polis by threats and violence, and denied protection of the police ; excessive bail was required trom those eka and arbitrary rules adopted in reference thereto, an tliose fortunate enough to find bail satistactory were de- prived of their liberty until near the close of the polls. so that many were deprived of their right to vote; voters were in some instances intimidated and denied rotection, and after the close of the poils votes were in some Instances miscounted and transposed, and returns were unnecessarily kept back and figures ta pered with in the interest of said combinat evincing premeditation and design on the part of combination, made successful only by complicity on the | part of our Folice Co: joners, or sume of thei, | part of certain United States | i pun- ‘will cast odium upon system | the popular will of the peopie, expressed by the ballot, and whereas such acts are destructive to our system of government, and it | becomes us to demand that our elections be honestly and fairly conducted ; that expression veg dg to the popular ‘will of the people; that ali fraud and misconduct in and about elections be punished; that the purity ot the elec- tive system be preserved ; theretore, be it Resolved, That our Committee on Organization be and | they are hereby dir d to investigate said charges and collate the evidence sustaining them, and that if 1 their judgment proof sufficient to convict be obtained, to em- | ploy such counsel as they think best qualified to take any | and ail legal means to punish all persons guilty of such | frauds and outrages upon the people, no matier how | high in power the offender may be, to the end that our | future elections nay be honestly and fairly conducted. | Resolved, That we congratulate all lovers ot good gov- ernment and reform upon the success of the democratic State, county and judiciary nominations, notwithstana- | ing the frauds and outrages upon the people committed by the late combination to defeat such result. ished, aud will tend to destroy | | | | previous. 7 teadership in the camp '2", Which was adopted ananimously.

THE CITY ELEO.TION. The Vote for State Oficers, Ghe Appoint~ ment of Judges and the Anuexation of Westchester Not To Be Reported by the Police. No further returns were received av Fatice Hegd- quarters yesterday on the vote for Séate oficcs» and the appointment of judges. . Mr. Mopcroit,’ who has charge of the returua, stated that she vote for Secretary of State, published im yesterday's HERALD, ia all of the State ticket waich the police captains were ordered to send to the Cengral Omics, and that the vote for Comptreier and the balanse of the State ticket eould nobbe known until the returms are received dy the County Cane vaseers. ‘The same is the ease with the vote om, electionor appointment of judges and on the ag nexation of Westchester townw to New York. One of the inspectors, in conversation with a HERALD reporter yesterday, ridiwaled the idea hinted at by some of the papers, tad the returns were tampered with by the police between the, time of their reception Gn election adght an@ the calling off of them in the Superintenfena’s ofice, He stated what is well known, that tae police ‘re- turns are not oficial records, ane the comnty can- vassers alone decide the election. Therefore there is no incentive jor any one connected with the force to tamper with the ballots, unless it be to make or decide bets, The lateness ct the reception « of the returns is attributed to the large aumber of ballots to be canvassed by the inspectors of elec- tion. In the footings for Marine Court judges alt the morning papers yesterday made a mastake in the vote of Hatch, who received but 41,608 instead of 50,106, 48 published, or 1,577 less than. tas asso. clate, Mr. Howland, THK ANNEXATION OF WESTCHESTER TOWNS, ‘The vote tor and against the annexation to New York of Westchester towns was nob ppecir on OF tne police, and can only be ascertained by the ofi- cial canvass hereatter to be made by the county canvassers. ‘There ia no doubt that the propomtion has @ majority in both counties.

(Applause.) | ANOTHER HEAD THREATENED, A letter containing the resignation as a member of this committee of Alderman Robert McOuterty, late Apollo Hall candidate for Senator in the Eighth district, was read. He closed by regrettin, that he was to sever his political associations wit! Mr. Kelly, but said he was “prevented im main- taming them by the arbitrary action of the local leaders of his district.” Colonel QuINcY attacked this latter assertion bitterly and denounced Mr. McCafferty as being dishonorable in his actions, said he was false to his pledges, false to the party and regretted that he was not expelled he on He was glad he had been struck down as he was at the polls, and could assure the organization that they were los we esd that they could not very weil spare. ir, UALDWRLL moved that the resignation be | laid on the table and that Mr. McCaderty be ex: | pellea.
