NEW YORK HERALD, “THE LOCAL CAMPAIGN, The Mass< Meeting of: the Independents To-Night. THE PROBABLE NOMINEE FOR MAYOR. The Bolters’ Conference Last Even- ing and Their Action. Tammany’s Troublesome Districts. Oreamer’s crusaders, the independent demo. ‘erats and their German allies, were exceedingly | active In the various Assembly districts yester- | @ay, and by four o'clock it was stated that the | managers had had every ward canvassed and that | the reports from all aldes showed that there was | ‘@ perfect organization o/ anti-Tammany voters, ex- elusive of the republicans, in. every election dis- | trict of every Assembly district, and in the | Twenty-third and Twenty-fourth wards, This | work of getting the various elements op- | posed to Tammany together tn something | like a well organized body was taken up | by Mr. Creamer in person the very day after the | first meeting was held at Delmontco’s, and to his ‘peraonal efforts and the exertion of the men under | Dis special direction are due apparently the thor- @agh organizations of the independents that are | now said to exist in each ward; and certainly, | if the new movement should eventually be | crowned with success, 1t will be quite a per- | sonal triumph for himself, Despite the fact | that the Tammany people assert ‘there 4s no bottom to the opposition tub,” they | ‘were not yesterday totally indifferent to the doings of the independents, for every effort | ‘was made during the day to put an end tothe | quarrel going on between the rival factions in cer- tein, of the Assembly districts.

The Tammany men say that they see no | @anger in this contingency for their ticket, but, as has already been said, they are determined meanwhile to leave nothing undone tnat, undone, ‘would give Creamer’s followers an advantage in the fight on election day, The independents’ can- Gidate will be, it 1s now almost certain, eliner Royal Phelps, Wiliam H, Netlson or Oswald Otten- | dorfer, either of whom will accept if nominated. THE BOLTERS IN. COUNCHs The Conference Committee, representing the | German independent organization, the mdepen- dent democrats and the industrial labor party, had a private meeting yesterday afternoon at the Germania Assembly Rooms, but transacted no business of any importance, the Germans simply contenting themselves by stating thatthe “call” for the mass meeting, a3 amended by the inde- pendent democrats, which made 1f an open invi- tution tu all voters opposed to Tammany Hall, re- gardiess of the stanu they desired to take toward either of the State tickets, was satisiactory aid pus an end to tbe only obstacie tat bad been in the way of a per: fect understanding between the orgeniz: won they represented and tne other opponen igwam candidates. A meeting of the id in the evening at tue same and cha ennsoque attendai interested iu the succeas of tne opposition ticket, The best of feeling and the utmost harmony seemed to prevail among the Germans and their liberal and democratic co- workers. Among the liberals was Chacles P, Shaw, who actually ag in aD appearance to seriously put forward the claims of Mayor Have- meyer for a renomination; but as he did not a @oance, and the air did not seem to be healthy sor Havemeyerites generally, he had to re- | main guiet during the meeting and ‘chew the cud of his disappointed ambition ‘as best he couid without losing his temper. Strange to gay, Jonn Cochrane was not on hand, nor was James O’Brien, although the honorable John’s ab- gence was more than compensated ior by the pres-° ence of Thomas E. Stewart, who his rather confident luveral backers believe might possibly be taken up as a candidate lor Mayor by the republicans if tue independents to-night should give him the nomi- ation. But that being among the imposaibilities, made apparent by the driit of the genera! see! OL the delegates preseut at the meeting the: little danger of Thomas E. being compelled to su ceed his friend, the present occupant of the magis- terial chair, to whom he bas been bound in jond Companionship by bonds as strong as hooks of steel ever since that vacancy in the Park Commis- sion was filied 80 satisfactorily to the liberal party. The meeting was calied to urder by Mr. Creamer, Who, on taking the chair, was very enthusiasti- cally greeted by the assemblage. Without wast- ing any time in speechmaking he immediately went to work by calling the names of the chairmen of committees from the various aistricts. By this Means it Was ascertained that all tue districts were represented. Mr. Creamer tuen announced that a certain nomber ol tickets of admission to Cooper Institute would be then and there given to the chairmen of the delegations, In alluding to ‘this ticket feature of the arrangement he said that | the impression bad got abroad in the city that no one would be allowed into the body of the hail where the mass meeting was to be held unless he had an admission ticket. This impression | was an erroneous one, ‘The mass meeting, he said, was to be an assembiage of the people, and every one who desired to show by their Presence that he was agatnat the rule of Tammany Would find no Wiskinuskie or armed guard at the door, The tickets of admission were simply to ve used by geutlemen wuo were to have seats on tue platiorm. He then added :—“I will say, just here, gentlemen, that sme of the newspaperg nave stated that all the prominent gentlemen whose Dames have been mentioned in connection wito | the \ayoralty at our meetings have refused to be- | comecandidates. This is @ mistake, At least six 01 the leading citizens of the city have been asked if they Would run if nominated, and they not only said they would, but expressed themselves ag eager to take the nomination.” ‘This statement was received with loud cheers, where- upon. Mr, Creamer added:—‘The ticket | that will be nommated to-morrow night I venture to predict will receive large majority. I think I know something about what hus been done dur- ing the past two weeks to place tais movementan davor of municipal reform on a stroug loundation, and I am so coufident of its fiual trinmph that [£ verily believe that the contest Is viriually over; toat Tammany, in fact, despite her boasts ot con- tidence, already sees the bandwriting on the wall, I Tammany had her County Convention work to | do over to-morrow, now that she finds the people in earnest in their opposition to her iuture dicta- tion, | think sbe wouid place a far diferent ticket inthe fleld than that headed by Wickham apd Mayes.” These remarks were loudly applauded, and the applause seemed to bave an endvening | gffect upon Nelson J. Waterbury, who re- | tmarked:—"You meant, Mr. Chairman, that | ‘my candidate’ would not be nominated.” Warer- bury laughed immoderately at what he considered | ‘capital joke. but the audience somehow failed to | see the point and allowed him to enjoy his laugh | all to nimself. After that Mr. Waterbury took @ | back seut, looking anything but cheerful. It was | decided finally, alter the routine business of the meeting was Over, that another mestiug should be | heid next Thursday evening. The permanent Fi- nance Committee of the independents was then announced, as follows:—Jenkins Van Scliaick, dames Everard, Francis M, Pursel,, John Y. Sav- age and A. A. Thompsor. James J. Slavin, who was announced at the Sat- urday night meeting as the chairman of the dele- gation fromthe Third Assembly district, states ‘Unat nig name was used without bis permission, and that while not indorsing all the Tammany Mao he intends to support Wickham tor | ts THE MASS MEBTING.

Ex-Judge Emott was called to the chair, J. L. Thornell eproratee Secretary, and R. A. Wirthaus, Willam 4, Webb and H, Monteith nominated as Vice Presidents. Mr. BENJAMIN TATHAM remarked that the meet- ing should decide upon some principle of action. We were now ruled. by @ clas of professional polt- ticians, and it was our duty to cast off the yoke.

Cornell ana J. M. qua. A committee of eleven was also appointed to confer relative to Assembly nominations. Considerable discussion wok place as to the proper course for the Council coming canvass. One delegate asked a very per- | tinent.question as to thé expenses of running the machine; whether in the event of the aifferent committees falling to agree upon nominations with other organizations, would an independent ticket be nominated? Tne cost of running boxes in vols emergency was set down at $20,000 | rhroughout the whole city.

The Tammany Committee on Organization held @ prolonged session at the wigwam yesterday at ternoon and last evening to hear the reports of sub-committees appointed to investigate the troubles in the Twentieth, Sixteenth and Sixth Assembly districts and in the Fifth Congressional district. An effort was made to have Peter Woods sign @ paper pledging that no matter what deci- sion should be come to in his case, he would suap- port the democratic State and Tammany city | ana county = ticket. This he — refused to do, stating as a reason why he would not sign the paper that he was not as the representa- | live of a majority of the voters of the Sixteenth | District authorized to pledge them to anything. As for Mr. Powers, he challenged him to give up his berth in.the Marine Court and run as @ candi. sate in the district. He would guarantee him one of the most positive defeats ever a candidate got im the city, He (Mr. Woods) and his iriends were “regular” and really represented the democracy | of the-district. ‘The complaint of Judge Hogan as to Meade’s candidacy for Congress in the Fitth Congressional district was referred to sub-committee of five to report to the Main committee to-day in the fore- | neon. The Judge ana his friends claim el | pursue in the Meade is not @ resident of the diatrict and that tor many years past the Congressional nominations, witn an occasional exception, have been given to outsiders, They instanced the cases of Sickles, Walbridge, Wood, aud Roosevelt. “If the dis- trict,” said Judge Hogan, ‘18 not good enongh tor them to livo*in, let candidates for Congress go somewhere else fora nomination. The district is always claimed by democratic outsiders because it is sure to go democratic,” Evidence was heard on the Twentieth district | diMiculty, and the decision will be given in favor of the Conner party, which secures the defeat of Coughlin for @ regular nomination ior the <Assembiy. The Sixth district hubbub, caused by Matthew Patcen's insisting upon ranning counter to Tim Campbell for the Assembly, was ‘eft to the dis- trict Convention to decide.” This 1s Tim’s version of the committee’s action; but the matter in fact ‘was felerred to a sub-committee, who will report to-day. Ag the Assembly conventions meet to- night the difficulties must be bridged over before six this evening. It ts belleved tnat the com- mittee will succeed 1n securing harmony all round by that time. ANOTHER GEBMAN CANDIDATE. A committee from’ the Independent German | Association held a meeting yesterday afternoon at the oMce of Jndge A. J. Dittenhoeler, at which ‘Were present Messrs.

THE EPISCOPAL CONVENTION, The Convention had snother secret, comparatively quiet session yesterday, from twelve M, till nearly five o’cloce P.M. Having bad their souls and bodies refreshed by the quiet and religious meditation of the Sabbath, ana having had various conferences and caucuses among themselves, between the hour of adjourn- ment on Saturday and the bour of meeting yester- | day morning, the deputies were better prepared than they had been any day of the past week to dis- cuss calmly and temperately the mystery of eucha- ristic adoration and ritualistic postures and genu- flexious on which they have wasted so much breath already and given so little satis action to their constituents, Nevertheless, decided thas having taken one false step they must continue to repeat their error, because it would be uniairto Dr. Seymour now, they say, in the present state of the debate to sit with open doors. Hence the secret / sessions will be resumed this morning, The great speech of yesterday was made by ex. Judge Cambridge Livingstone, of New York, It was a calm and temperate review of the situation and of the arguments pro and con. that have been put forth by debaters on this subject. It was also a weil pul argument against the doctrines be- lieved to be held and practised by Dr. Seymour, though not a¢ all directed toward his per- soual character or standing as a Christian gen- tleman and minister. Tne speech almost com- letely turned the scale against the Doctor's con- rmation, and bad the vote been taken immedi- ately thereaiter {t 1s believed that bis deieat would have been certain. The bishops are more than three to one in bis favor, aud his confirma- on in their house is already @ foregone conclu. sion, Dr. Seymour has emphatically denied the charges of ritualism that bave veen made against him on the floor of the Convention, and especially that which was made @ day or two ago that he had heard contessions trom the seminary students and had countenanced their Connecticut “retreats,” ‘The devo'tens yesterday were led by Revs. S, M. | Bird and W. R, Richardson, of Texas; Dr. Furring- ton, of New Jersey, and Bishop Lay, of aston, Md. The canon on church music, sent down by the bishops on Saturday and not acted on at that time, Was, after sume debate, rererred to the Committee on Canons. The Commitvee on Vousti- tutional Amendments reported the inexpediency of making any change tn the present basis of rep. resentation jn the general conventions, BANK AMONG BISHOPS. Dr. Schenck introduced an Episcopal levelling amendment to the constitution. It touches a point dear to the Episcopal heart—namely, that of caste and superiority. It asks the Committee on Amendments to report some measure whereby ail the bishops of the Church, mission.ry and dio- cesan, shall stand on the same platiorm of equality and with equal jurisdiction, and to make the (ransfer of bishops from one diocese to another practicable, This measure has very great im- ortance prospectively. There is already a strong endency toward hierarchical distinctions among the Episcopate, and the missiouary bishops are especially made to feel that they are allowed seats in the house by sufferance, but they have no vote. It {gs also proposed now to erect a number of provinces aiter the fashion of the Roman Church, and this Convention will ve called upon to legis- late on the subject. Then archbishops and metro- politans and: cathedrals and ali the other para- phernalta of the Anglican and Roman churches on ‘vhs line may follow. THE METHODIST PREACHERS. The Methodist ministers met yesterday, as | usual, and listened to an avle address by the Rev. J, M. Buckley on the influenco of Christianity in the world, particularly in the different denominations and churches, in the governments ind laws and over the people. This influence is seen in the guvern- | ment, in the acknowledgment of God in public documents und proclamations, in the administra- | tion of oaths, in the laws on usury, on on divorce, &c.; in tne general cessa- tion of business on the Sabbath, tn the observance of Thanksgiving Day, in the morality of the people which consigns to oblivion such men as Colfax and others connected with the Crédit Mobiher and Pacific Rallroad jobs, in the rever- ence and respect shown to the {institutions of tue christian Church, and especially toward ministers. Bisnop Harris haying just returned from bis tour round tne world was warmly greeted by the brethren and requested to address them briefly. | Drs. Gervase Smith and W. H, Cawniorth, dele- gates to the Canadian Weslyan Church, who were witn the Bishop, made brief addresses, A lareweil missionary meeting was held in St. Paul's church pol gary, India gave their valedictories and received tue adieus of their iriends. THE LUTHERAN SYNOD. The Synod of the Evangelical Church of New York and Philadelphia reassemblea yesterday morning in St, James’ church, Rev. Dr. Strobel in in the chair. The special order for the day, the admission of the new church on Jersey City Heights, was discussed at length and referred to a committee, Some minor bustuess filled the morn- ing session. In the afternoon Mr. Cronholm made a report of his mission work among the Scandi- navians of the New Engiand States. He was fol- lowed by several speakers on the same suotect, when the Synod, by resolution, appointed a com- a head infront. John P. was five lengths in the rear. The judges very erroneously decided it | @ dead heat, forgetting to take into con- | sideration that Cecelia did far the most trot- | ting. Time for the three-qnarters, 2:00.

While the business was being transacted some | dispute arose about the character of some ot o ee te co otone | | 1 the money paid in, Newell, the cashier, | said the = mouey was too much mute | lated, or something =to that _— effect, The broker denied this, and hot words | were passed, which, in a few minutes, brought the | combatants to blows. Mr. Newell picked up an inkstand and threw it across the desk at Mr. Dun- bar, Dunbar tried to dodge the missile, but was | not quick enough. It nit him on the top of the head, inflicting an ugly wound. While this little | battie was going on quite a party had gathered, and amoug them was Oficer Powers, ol the New street police, who arrested Dunbar aud Newell and brought them to the New street station house, where Duuoar made a complaint of assault and battery against Newell, The party were brought to the Tombs, where Judge Kasmire, after hearing the case, committed Newell to answer the charge prelerred against him, THE PARIS CONGRESS OF GEOGRAPHICAL SOIBNOES, The french Society of Geography, impressed by the success obtained by the Congress of Antwer p, | appeais to ali foreign savans and those taking them to assemble in Paris in 1875.

Reed followed this by a fervent prayer. , Brother Wetherbee, a tormer missionary, and now of tue Indian Conlerence, said:—He knew how these brethren felt, He bad been in similar circum. stances. Togo into a foreign country, perhaps to remain there for life, is @ serious matter, but he thought it the most glorious work a man could peteorm. When ne was first appointed, he said, he prayed all night before he could seitie it in Nis Mind toat it was his duty to go. He went cheer- | fully and remained until he was literally carried | } out. It takes more grace to leave the work than to go to tt Missionaries at length become so identified with the people that they feel that 1 is their piace to remain. Brother Goodwin, who 1s abort to go to Bombay, sata he had no idea of speaking to-night, but he could give his experience in being called to the work, He had no impressions {rom bis boyhood that he would be a missionary, but, as Pr. Dashiell said on one occasion at the Drew Seminary, “You can no more divide the vome work from the foreign work than you can divide Christ,’? Brother Robinson said:—I wish I could speak as an incomer instead of an outgoer, speak of victories won. We are tudebted to the manta Foreign Missionary Society.

The Church, said the revereud speaker, was for Christ's glory and not for man’s. Even in the times of Abraham the Church was supported by offerings. Did the Divine Master give any benefirs to any persons Who would arrange jor ihe holding of worship? No, unis was all very far irom what was called the pew system, which did not mantiest any char- acter of supreme love for Christ. There were 00 restrictions in the glorious temple of Christ— everybody could come, the blind and the lame. As it was now, a great Many peopie would feel as though they intruded by going to # certain church. The reverend speaker argued in this fashion that the pew system should be abolished.

The arrest of Luther Bryant having been effected by a private detective, a HERALD reporter called at his office yesterday, and heard the following statement : “Surveillance was commenced on Bryant, the William street stamp-man, avout the 15th of Sep- tember, {t having been reported that he was purchasing postage stamps from boys of tender age, and men, who had stolen them, On the 2ist of September, & man employed in a banker's | office in Exchange place was detected in the | thett of about $20. worth of stamps. He con- | jessed to his employer, alter an interview with | Mr, Davies, and his employer discharged him. | During the investigation by us of the manner in which Bryant did his business we discovered about Jorty boys seliing stamps to him at ctwo-tuirds of their value. We have the names and where these | boys were employed, and nearly al) of them have been discharged, save about a dozen, wio are to | be used ag witnesses. Among the rms victimized are J, M.

This they had discovered while “working up’ a case not mine. From the same source [ learned that many other firms had been vicum- ized in the same manner. { searched the youth and found @ sheet of postage stamps. He then admitted having taken stamps beiore, aud said that he tad sold them ail to the man Bryant. | Subsequently Icailed upon several of the firms | said to have sutfered, and they corroborated the report and told me that their boys conlessed to having found a market for the stamps with Bryant. Thinking it my duty to remove, if pos- sipie, this evil intluenve which was contaminating the boys of my neighborhood, and believing then, | as L Go now, the case agaiast Luther Bryant to be clear, I caused his arrest after having consulted with the District Attorney. : ; OBERUARD FABER, Nos 138 WiLLiaM Srseet, New York, October 19, 1874, A DANGEROUS BUILDING, Two Men Hart By « alling Wall.
