No More Arguments To Be Had Bofore the Governor—The Mayor on the Situ- ation, The gentiemen who went to West Hampton nearly two months ago ana presented charges against the Mayor on behalf of certain citizens— charges somewhat similar to those which Mr. John | Keily and Oswald Ottendorfer presented on behalf | of Tammany Hali—had intended to cail upon the Governor to-morrow and present additional charges, Yesterday, however, Mr. Clinton, one of day afternoun sent the following despatch to tne Governor :— New York. Sept. 7, 1876. To Joun A. Dix, Governor, &c., West Hampton, L. 1. :— Your despatch of this date is received, I waive the argument upon the charges against the Mayor, and on If oF Fepreseut subinit the case jor Your ce cision, HENRY L, CLIN(ON. It will be remembered that the Governor sent word on Tuesday to the Mayor that he would be those I Union, He willmake tne counsel, recetved a despatch from Mr. Scofield, | stating that the Governor was not very well and | wouid probably not be able to hear any argument | on the day appointed, and he consequently yester | ready to hear counsel on his behalf to-morrow. | It was the action of Mr. Clinton and those he rep- resented which brought this about it seems, as they had informed tue Governor that they de- | | sired to make further argument in the case. Of course the Governor's NOTIFICATION TO THE MAYOR was simply to give hima chance to be heard on his own behalf at the same time, personally or through counsel. The Mayor apparently telt little concern about the matter yesterday, and in con- versation with a HERALD reporter remarked (Mr. Clinton’s despatch had not been sent at the time :— “J nave nothing more to do with the case. It stands just this way. Chargea were preferred against me and I answered them. My answer has been published, Alter it was published the Gover- that of course they How conld they? ‘Why,’ said they, ‘the Mayor, in his answer, admits all our charges; aye, not only admits tuem, put his answer really aggravates his case.

WHY TILDEN IS OPPOSED. The opposition to Mr. Tilden resuits from the fact that years ago he was active in crush- ing the democratic party. He and Havemeyer and Governor Dix went into the Van Suren faction to defeat General Cass, the regular candi- date of the democratic party for President, and succeeded, Since then the democratic party has had only a paralytic existence. It never recovered its former vitality. Tilden maintained the Buffalo platform, which deciared the equality of the black and white races, His place is with the friends of the Civil Kights bill, not with its opponents, Tilden | and Havemeyer have been inseparable. Some years since Tammany Hall nominated Havemeyer for Mayor. Tilden was nominated for Corporation Counsel with him, on the same ticket. This was done and both were ignominiously defeated, What claim Tilden has on the party is not easily seen when his disregard of its interests in former years is remem- dered, a3 weil as his action when elected a member of Assembiy, when he refused to go into caucus, and I am not sure but he refused to vote for the caucus candidate for Speaker of Assembly. Tliden, they say, is immensely wealthy, and 13 WILLING TO SPEND $250,000 to ald the party In carrying the election, You know money is power. I believe that’ “cor- ruption wins not more than honesty,” bat I do not believe that money nas power sufi- cient to elect Mr. Tilden, to be given to the highest bidders * The mere suggestion of money, in my judgment, ts sufficient to deieat him.

As, personally, this | gentieman 18 decidedly popular not only in his | own party, but among large numbers of tne op- | position, there is but one reasonable construction | to be put upon the decidedly apathetic reception his nomination has met with, and that is tne unpopularity of “the cause’? which he repre- | seuts.

Yet the others were anxious to say something more, for fear, possibly, that lhad not,” and tne Mayor chuckled gleefully. “And,” he added, ‘f suppose they muSt have finally come to the conclu- sion that if they only had about hale an hours talk with the Governor they could prove me gullty—or worse. I don’t know anything about it, you know; but He would not consent to run unless | With great zest.

U be shouldn’t, come then, why then no one will go, The otner side can have no additional statement to make. They bi have had my say. If they are not satisied and want to say more, they are welcome.” . As the despatch of Mr. Clinton shows, there will be no more arguient in the case, and it is now, in point of fact, closed so far as outside parties ure concerned. The only thing that now remains to close it definitely is the Governor's decision, BOARD OF ASSISTANT ALDERMEN, The Departments to be Investigated, On the 27th day of: July the last meeting of the honest, poor man, oné who bas no money to put | at by those who recoliect the course pursued to- | Assistant Aldermen was heid, and, in order to up On @ political race.” “Has not Mr. Tilden been always identified with the democratic party ?” “fie is notorious for being identified with all its detvats and disnonors.

The nomination of Mr. Halsey was a Mat- ter of certainty long before the Convention. was a foregone conclusion. In any case this fact would diminish public interest more or less. But in the meantime THE ALL-ABSORBING QUESTION among Mee and “all sorts and conditions of men” is, Whom will the democracy nominate tor Governor?

The general re-opening of our public schools, In accordance with the orders of the Board of Edu cation, took place yesterday, and it was conse- quently a day of general discouragement through- out the city—no, perhaps not general, for parents feel quite differently on the subject from teacners and children, and are, no doubt, heartily glad that the long—yea, terribly long—vacation 1s over. The period of mischie! has come to an end, and for at least some hours in the day there will be peace and quiet in the household. To be sure, “hookey” will be awain extensively patronized, but, after all, there are means to overcome even the sire: est desire for “hookey,” and woe be to those who don’t put these means in practice. But in connection with the opening of the schools those most deeply interested are decidedly the teachers and the pupils, For two jolly long months the male and /emale incalcators of jearn- ing have been playfully lazing in ail parts of the Union, and even Europe, at the expense of the city and of many who help to psy for what they cer- tainly cannot enjoy themselves, The subject has been proached why these people, ablebodied and strong as they are, cannot be put to some use dur- ing the vacation, which 1s only a necessity to the culldren, Clerks and sa:eawomen consider them- selves very lucky in getting two weeks’ vacation alter laboring twelve hours a day for eleven months and a half, but school teachers, after laboring five hours a aay about eight months the year, counting the Saturday holiday, must needs have two months Vacation at a cost to the city of sumethin, very near $500,000. And yet to see the sort of halt lazy way they all acted yesterday, cross and dis- | satisfied in action. 1t was evident a month or two longer wouid not have been distasteful. The first few days of work, again, are the hardest in the | year, and one teacher said to the writer that 16 Was questionable if this coming back to work | ae ‘Was not harder than all tne vacation was | pleasaus, Like Oliver Twist, they want ‘more! | To thig role, however, there may be some notable | exceptions, but they are so lew that much can’t be said about them.

Ob, their suifering was beyond computation, This is the one great black day o1 the long year to them. Allthe joyous sun- | shiny daya in county places are @ mere memory, and nothing in prospect but nasty blackboards, atrocious figures, beastly books and hideous teruleg. is it any wouder they don’t like it? Yes- | teraay you could see them oie moodily along | the streets, the vooks, which have been away on dusty sheives tor months, under tnetr arm, ‘Their features were pensive, their march anything but | joyous, and tue whole world dark and disagree- able before them. ‘The giris showed a little better disposition over it, and took things more sensibly on the whole.

The Compulsory Educution bill seems to have had, at ail events, a3 yet, no very perceptible effect upon the attendance. Me@stor our schools have about ag many pupils as they can accommodate, and it would seem as if in New York either com- puisory education 1s unnecessary because in one the system lacks eniorcement as yet. The latter is probably the case, anu the means have yet to be lound by which in a crowded city like ours tne system can be carried out as the bill intends, During the recess a large number of the schools have been renovated and improved in one way and another. Public School No, 26, situate in West ‘Thirtieth street, and also No 48, located m ‘Twenty-eignth street, have re- ceived many repairs an renovations. The new schoolhouse in Harlem, on site of the intended Court House on 128tu street, ts in rapid progress, and will no doubt be finished in December next.

Much has beea said as to the unhealtniness of the location in consequence oi the presence | of on insect known as the myrmidvn which iufests old cemeteries which have not been disinfected, and which 1s Said to produce malaria in any building erected on the site. Tne Jounda- tions of the butiding have been laid, but the build- | ing will mot be finished bejore next spring. Gram- { mar School No, 51, in the 'wenty-second ward, has also undergone many repairs. The walls have been raised, stone stairways built and new furni- ture provided. The old public school No, 2, in Henry street, Seventh ward, has vad the rear wall rebuilt and uew stone stairways put up. New wings have also been put up. ‘The work is not finished yet. Grammar School No, 45, in Twenty-iourth street, near Liguth avenue, has been overiauled, new floors and new heating ap- paratus put up. And among the others reno- vated in various ways are Grammar School No, 29, in Greenwich street, No. 1, in the Fourth ward, No. 44, in the Fifth ward, and No, 11 in rhe same, The Normal Schoo! opened yesterday morning, with an address by W.

Two sweepstakes were suggested by the Turf, Field ana Farm last autumn, one for for four-year- olds and the other for three-year-olds, the stakes to close on the 6th day of May last. The conditions of the stakes were that each owner should put up $150, $50 on the day of entry and $100 on the Ist of September, or forfeit the $50 up, the trots to come of between the ist and 10th of September inet, Yesterday -was selected for the trial of the speed of the youngsters, and the races came off accordingly. In the three-year-old race, which was called first, there were ten entries. These were Joun Bell's bay colt Independent, by Rysiyk’s Hamble- tonian, dam by Adama’ Andrew Jackson; George B.wAlley’s bay filly Marte, by Rysdyk’s Hamble- toniap, dam Starlight, by American Star; George ©.

Burr's black gelding Maclure, by Messenger Duroc, dam Nelite Wilmarth, by Raven. Only two of the apove came to the post, the others not being considered good enough to start, The two that came to the post were Carl 8, Burr's black gelding Maclure and George B, Ailey's bay filly Marie, The former won by distancing the filly in the first heat. The Diack geiding is a very finely proportioned colt, about fifteen hands two inches high, with three white feet, two behind and one on the off side before. He seemed in splendid conai- tion, and trotted very easily in 2:45%, which is most capital time for a three-year-old, Mr. Aliey’s filly unlorcunately had gone blind within a jew days, and seemed afraid to step out. Before she lost her sight sie was very Jast, and great popes were entéertuined by her owner and iriends that | she would win the stakes, Maciure was the favor- | | me at3 tol belore the start, tue mishap to the { filly warrautiog that degree of odds. He took the leat at the start, graduully drew away irom the flily and won the race by ninety yards, distancing the filly.

Dame Trot was tue favorite over the Calltornia filly at three to one, and selling was brisk at that rate. She distanced the gray filly the first heas, showing great speed for nalf a mile, winning the stake, which amounted to $550, besides the gate money, The iollowing are the details and summaries :— THE FIRST TROT.
