Curtis, | Governor Noyes and Salem H. Wales, THE THIRD TERM. A meeting was held last night in the Cooper Institute for the purpose of ratifying the repubil. | ean city and county ticket, The hall was crowded by a very enthustastic and intelligent audience, and on the outside in the streets adjoining were | placed stands, around which were gathered large crowds of persons, who were addressed by leading local republican politicians, The Giee Singers en- hnvened the proceedings in the hall by the singing | of several humorous and patriotic glees, The | loyalty of the audience was appealed to by the | Various speakers im the recital of war reminis- @ences, “The third term” question was referred | to in significant language vy the Governor of | Ohio, On the piatiorm were @ number of promi- Rent republicans, including ex-Governor Morgan. 1B FROCEEDINGS, Mr. Jacgson S. ScRULTz, in opening the meet- (ng. said they all regretted that the munici- pal election comes ac this time. It is dam- aging that it should come at the same time @@ the State election. He wished to call at- tention to the fact that Tammany Hall is knocking | Outside asking tocome in. ‘They assure us that | they are reformed. He would compare old Tamma- | my Hall with the new Tammany Hall. In 1869 the | Gity of New York was indebted $36,000,c00 We had then had three or four years of Tammany rule. In 1872 there was tobe @ Presidential election. Ar- Tangements were to be made on a grand scale, It ‘Was therefore arranged that $6,000,000 should be | stowed away on this. occasion. The plan was this:—It was alleged that New York city had a large floating debt. Albany was to be applied to for power to issue bonds to pay this debt. You Know what the result of this was. From 1840 to 1871, in two years and eight months, tt was in- @reased to $81,000,000, Mr. Green says, in his printed report, issued recently, that more than $25,000,000 of this was incurred without any | equivalent. If ne (the speaker) were to speak | @ccording to his own judgment it would be to | Taise that estimate to $45,000,000. If, said Mr. Schultz, this man Wickham is made Mayor— | Woom, personally, I have not to say one word @gainst (1nd, whatever may be his faults, a more Pliable man than Green is put over the treasury as the watchdog)—bonds will be issued for this city that will raise this sum to $20,000,000. What are tne facts? Only that | there are tens upon tens of millions of dollars’ | Worth of bonds ready to be put forward, and then | this city will be laid under obligations that it will mever recover from. Our property is already | taxed more than a quarter-of its valuation, and if Tammany is to rule over us more than 23% per | cent Ol that property willbe put under bonds. Dr. GEORGE HALL, ex-Park Commissioner, read | of Vice Presidents and Secretaries, | tant District Attorney Russell read the folk lowing resolutions, which were adopted :— THE RESOLUTIONS. i ‘The republicans ot the county of New York, in mass | meeting xssembled, resolve t.

SPEECH OF G. W. CURTIS. Mr. G. W. Curtis said:—Fellow citizens—It is now fifteen years since Abrabam Lincolm— (cheers)—stood in this hall on behalt of the | princigles of manhood and justice ior which he gave his life. and which are the sole security | for the government of tue people, and these prin- | ciples snall not perish from the earth. As he stood | here he yepresented the republican party. He | Was confronted by the great, powerfat and domi- | maut democtatic party. There have veen these | wo = parttes and only these two, in| this country, To-night we meet here, | and we ate confronted by the same Party, the same organization, aud in spirit the | same leadership. ‘that party would cause us to | jorget the history aud traditions of that party | Which brought tuto history the patriotic memo- | Fials of this mua. That party stunds to-night where it stood then, and where it once stood under the old dominion of a slavery that is past. The duty of this hour ts to remember and not to forget. The duty of every wise man, however freely he may lorgive, is equally never to-1orget, | (Cheers. ) e at least remember tnat in | this oy and in this State the demo- cratic layor of 1860 tried all in his | power to send arms to revel Lands to be held with | deadly certainty at Joyal breasts; that Mayor was the regular democratic Mayor of this city. We do hot torget that the democratic Governor of this | State tn 1863 stood on the steps of the City Hall, in | the Purk, and culled the red-handed rioters of that time bits “dear friends’’— (coe —and promised them that he wouid ask the President, Abraiam Lincolu—(tremendous cheers)—to grant them all they demanded. Nor do we iorget that one or the Most prominent democratic leaders, being asked uiter Seymour fell to take measures with all loyal men to muintain the Unton and once to rua up the nag that had been traitorously puiued down from the stai’ of Fort Sumter, rofused to take that step. and that democrauo leader to- day is the candidate for the Governorahip of the | State of New York against the mao wuo issued that 1amous order—“Whoever pulls the American flag shoot him on the spot.” (Great Fellow citizens, it is with this party cheering.) ‘TWo years -ago ow!

NEW YORK HERALD, FRIDAY, OCTOBER 30, 1874.-TRIPLE SHEET. upon the support of the people? Is it on the ground of reform? Mr, Tilden 1s offered as tho candidate of administrative reform, because he, | Tilden, it 18 said, dia good service in the exposure and punishment of Tweed. I gladly acknowledge all the services he did; but every candid friend of Mr. Tilden will equaily allow that he aid not join in the work of the reformer till the work had been begun elsewnere, do not deny that | Mr. Tilden thoroughly investigated ‘ Tweed | and his practices; but Tide: the wariest ai politiclans—the most resolute and most determiped of democratic parusans. When Tweed came to the mastership of the party Tilden aid not protest guainst the use of his name as'a cloak for Tweed's professions. When Mr. Richmond dieqd and 1 became Chairman of the State Committee, it was during Tilden’s ciair- manship that Tweed, oF vast system of fraud and corruption in the Legislature and juaiciary, brought disgrace upon the government of this city. And you remember it was only by a uni- versal uprising of the people that the Tweed tyranny Was overthrown. During the mastersbip of Tweed when his frauds were even denounced vy democratic journals throughout the country, and when these corruptions and frauds gave to foreign enemies ttesh fuel jor their scorn of democratic institutions, Tuden Kept his ips closed and even went with Tweed to his convention, and in that , convention he did pot hesitate to give nis tongue and infuence to the turtnerance of tue purposes weed red, And long, long after the frauds were exposed, when Tweed and his gang wen! ing and rioting across the Stute to tue city of Rochester, Tilden went with them, and, standing tn the Convention, denounced republican musrule and endeavored to persuade the people to support the man that Tweed wished to place in the Governor’s chair of the State of New Yor! and yet during all that time | have no doubt that | Tudeo detested tae man whose purposes be | served; but he was the warmest! of partixaus of the party that wore Tweed’s colors and jor all that concerned the influence of Tilden as a politi- clan, he aiso wore the colors of ‘Tweed. I do not dou I say, the purity of his life, but he was devoted to Tweed, and lor the mastership of Tweed. I am nothere to say that in dealing with @ new and most ditticult | problem the reputiican party has done well or wisely, but lam hereto say that there can he no hope for the wise solution of the negro probiem in | this country, in the hands oj the party which 13 | the hereditary oppressor of the black race—(ap- yause); apd I do say that that policy 16 to be | ked for in that party which from the beginning has maintained the principles of equal rights, aud -day inciudes every man in the United States who iron Dig heart most sincerely velieves in the great | American doctrine of absolute equality before the | jelaw. Such @ policy as wil justly deal with those | States 1s possible only to the republican party | Wisely inspired; 1¢1s absolutely impossible to the | | party that hates the negro, and one of whose candidates to the Legislature in Alabama hus pub- hely apologized to his constituency lor having, while he was the Mayor of Mobile, accepteu in his Court the testimony of @ black mau. Now, | men of this city and State, choose you this day | whom you willserve—the democratic party with | its traditions and tts tendencies or the republican party with all its glorious past and future possibilities throbbing in your hearts tis present moment. I am here to urge you to sustain the representative name of that party in this State at tue coming election; one 0} the purest of mea; one of the most illus- trious of American citizens; aman of jong train- ing, of ampie experience and of the highest ability, Who is in every respect titted to guide the State, and who, in the years of bis first muagistracy, nas restored to the Governorship of New York al! the lustre of the old days of the Clintons and the days. me ask me if have heard from Indiana, and itt have heard tro! nio, Yes, have beard; and as I take leave of you, fellow citizens, | am reminded—as lam speaking a3 a suldier of tae law, and not as a man who declined to support the constitution und the laws—l am re- | minded of @ little imcident of that war, which I | wil just relate now. Two soldiers—young soldiers—who as our friend upon. this plat- yorm has betore 80 oiten seen, and one of never having been in __ bat- » and the other only a little ola in the service, were marching side by side toward the rebel battery, when suddenly, amid the great crash of shot and shell, a cry 80 Herce and dieadiul ran tbrougn the air that it seemed not slope to chill, but curdie the very blood in thetr faces. “Did you hear that crvt!? said the older to the younger. “Yes, I heard it— what was that?” said he, steadily moving on. “What was thact? “ft was the rebel yell,’? reply. “Did it trighten your”? put im _ the first interrogator. | | |; “Krighten me? The rebel yell is the music to which | magch.”” (Tremendous applause,) And 80, lellow-cilizens, as you have askeu me i I have heard irom Indiana and Onto, let me say, first, that Lanswer yes. Yes, | have heard that cry from tne | Brovklyo ana Tammany Hall, aod | reply to it, in your name and in toe name ofevery honest and inceilgent voter in this city. Yea, we have heard that cry, and too, We have heard the democratic yell of Tammany Hail, whichis the masic to which the republicans of New York are marching on to (Prolonged cheering). SPEECH OF GOVERNOR NOYES. Governor Epwakp E. Noyes, of Unio, said that the slaves of tue Soutn were looking with some anxiety that they were not given over to robbery, In the name 01 all those who desire peace, happiness and prosperity, be came that night to appeal to the better patriotism, the better judgment of this great ci PA which Jargely controls tue destiny of our great Republic. Now, gentiemen, parties are on trial to decide Which, if elther, of the two great parties are en- titled to your aepport. We wi not to go back far jor history; we need only to go back for tifteen years. In.186l.we took jrom the hands Ot the ‘democratic party all that was leit | of that which was called a government. We could nownere command the respect of the | nations. Governor Noyes then sketcied the his- | tory oi the war and the appointment of revenue | oMicers at the close of the war. ‘The speaker then | asked, what had the administration done? 1t nad reduced the national devt one-third, and the bonds which Were seiling at 94 in Buchanan’s time were | | welling that night at irom 116 to 1zl. All this and protection to all our naturalized citizens over the world had been opens during tne last ten years. Our democratic iriends bad On Gil possible occasions assailed tne policy of our National inances, ‘There were only two questions that really occupied the public mind—one was this question ‘of national finance and the preserva. tion of the public peazce and good order in the South. It is only these two questions that I Will trouble you with to-nignt. He com- mented at some length on the democratic platiorm ot Ohio and Indiana, in reference to the financial question, and said that the taxation o: government lands was contrary to the constitu- tion: ‘Toe government had piedged itscl! again and agatn that principal and interest shail be paid in goid, Now the democratic conventions in Onio and Indiana have come jorward and asked that these bonds shall be paid in a depre- ciated —_ currency. That = was scandal- ous, and ought to meet the condemna- tion of American people. (Cheers.) One word about the national banks. We don’t believe that it would be better to return to the State bank and “wildcat” systems. 'o carry out the policy of whe Gewocrats in reference to their expressed financial policy would raise the circulation of the national banks irom $282,000,000 to $1,382,000,00. He would like to ask whut would be.the value of a greenback then? Governor Noyes then submitted to the audience bis views of the tariff, and said that he was desir- ous of keeping up the privileges and advantuges | Of the American Workingmen without involving | any reduction in their wages. As to the question of the Southeru trouvies, the men there who gave the most trouble were those Who Were invincible in peace and invisible in war. (Laugnter.) ‘There was scarcely au audience in the country that did not contain a goodly number of soldiers, Now, tho#e who had been in tue war would re- © how quickly the colored peopl 8 into regiments, brigades visions, when they hud the chance, and how their bones, ag white as ours, were laid in the grave ‘with their white comrades. Will you have those assassinated again? will you have the knile again Put to their throat? (Cries of “No, no.) THR THIRD TERM. Now as to the third term. There ts no dimiculty in this regard with us, The only tear we ever en- tertained was that the democrats appreciating at its true value the excellent administration of General Graut, would want to steal him from us for their candidate. Genera Grant recognizes just as forcibly a8 you do, jast as iorcibly as our democratic brethren do, that this ts the widespread feeling in the country, that no man, however excellent his administration may have been, however mach we may love aud respect him, there is no man to whom it would be sate to allow more than eight years occupancy of the Presidential chair. (Great cheering.) General Grant has not thought it wouid become his diguity to write to political con- Ventions, that he never would undec any circum. stances accept the nomination again. { have every reason to believe and know that on many occasions he privately said to his frienas, that the whoie proposition was ridiculou that he mever thought of it and never That, however 18 @ question we will take care of when we get to it, But, my iriends, there are two things in the way ofa third term* In the frst place, General Grant would not uccept it if offered to him; and the second is, that the people would not offer it to | bim i ‘be wanted it, (Loud cheers.) Do not understand me ior an instant as inuimating any imminent in that direction. vo not understand me as reflecting in any way upon our distinguished Chief Magistrate, I remember the time when on other felas he was calied from ob- security to take command of @ million of men— when the silent man, sitting with closed lips in the councils of men, shook the cuntinent with the thunder of hie artillery and the tramp of his vio. | torious legions 3 tay of this admin» ‘tration «that it hi been 8 firacle Of saecess BUG HO Gemoctm ean point to ome im | from them, | session with closed doors yesterday aiternoon, but | William Haw, Jt., was nominated tor the Assembly | Mame of Mr. Granville P.

(Great applause.) SPEECH OF MR. WALES, We are here to-night to ratify the nominations made by the County Convention, aud, as a candl- date upon that tucket, I take occasion to tank iy friends for the great honor they have done me in associating me with so many worthy and dis- Uunguisned gentlemen, whose names ure placed Upon the same ticket, Of myseif | cannot speak.

The ponsensical clap-trap of politi- | clans who cry woli—“Cesarism” and “Third ‘Yerm’’—nas misled you from the true issues which | are involved in this election. 1tis true that you have imprisoned and driven into exile some who have fattened upon your wealth; but are you thus made secure against the repetition of still greater evils?

Most oi you are aware that I occupied @ position in one of the departments under what Wwe Call, for want of a better name, the “Kelorm government ;” and while we most all admit that some advantages have resulted trom the reform movement, aud espect in the department of Justice, still, i think, 1m all fairness, it cannot be denied that the conduct of Mr. Havemeyer has disappointed many. He was the chosen repre- sentative oi the real reformers of the city.

He Was also uniortunate in selecting his chief sd- visers, but, be it said to his credit also, that he has made many good appointments, I am in- clined to the opinion that, uf he bad not allowed himself to be influenced against his judgment by a sort of meddling “Usarism’’ im our municipality, he would have better satistied the peopie who elected nim. This Cwsar- ism on a small scale, it 18 true, has been gly, intru- sive and Oiten insolent, and whe jair name and lame of our city bave suffered, by reason of it. 1n- calculable injury, oth at hume and abroad.

THE REPUBLIOAN STATE COMMITTEE, Another Private Session Yesterday— What a Leading Republican Thinks of Dix’s Third Term Speech. The Republican State Ventral Committee held a 80 far as could be ascertained uothing of impor- tance transpired during the session. A genueman from Cattaraugus county, a thor- ough republican, who paid a visit to the commit. | tee’s rooms during the day, told a Heratp re. | Porter that while he hoped that Dix would get elected, yet he feared the republicans were a Jittle lacking in enthusiasm; that, in fact, many good meu in some of the Assembiy districts in the west- ern part of the State, where he was well ac- | quainted, were not entirely satisfied with every- thing the administration had done during the past two years, aad who were acting ‘kind o’ un- sartin.” He feared, he said, that Allen would beat Sessions for Congress, and that U. P. Vedder, re- publican, wou'd defeated for the Assembly. The Custom House people who dropped into the | committee rooms during the evening had very little to say when questioned about the prospects 1m the State, They are certainly not so out-spokea as they were a couple of weeks ago, and even in | conversation with republicans who are not of the Custom House stripe, it was noticeable that when General Dix’s position on the third term was | alluded to that they studiously avoided the sud- | ect. | “What do you think of Dix now?” a HERALD | repo: ter asked of one of the Custom House Binge naies whom be metin the Fifth Avenue Hotel, * think,” be replied, “that he made a great mis- take. “What do you mean by that?” asked the re- Ir. rter. “Ob! nothing much,” was the reply; “only I think that he could have waited until uther peo- ple in the party bad med the thira term a fit subject to be dragged intathe campuign by the republicans. That speecn of bis makes us look now as if we had got alraid of the howl set up ubout it by the papers—puts us here in the State on the deiensive, whereas if he'd treated the thing with silent contempt we would not be wrangling about the matter among ourselves, like @ set o1 infernal asses. But we'll win any- how; so I suppose we can stand a little diterence of opinion among ourselve: REPUBLIOAN VEXATIONS. Trouble in the Twenty-first Assembly District. Last week inthe Twenty-first Assembly district by the regular Republican Convention, and It was an accepted fact that he was to contest the district, and win if he could, Ureat, therefore, was the surprise of everybody on reading in yesterday morning’s papers tne declination of Mr. Haw and the substitution by the State Central Committee, of which ex-vovernor Morgan is chairman, of the Hew, Jr. Considerable duiged in on all sides in the district, and was currently reported yesterday that @ bolt would take place in this district, as Mr. Haw, Jr, bad @ ber of adherents in his precinct who are determined upon keeping Bima iy the Seid at ail Basards, The disamected + growling was in- element were desirous of having an explanation, ‘and mace an endeavor to have the State Genera, Committee withdraw the nomination of Mr. Gran- ville P, Haws and allow Wiltiam Haw, Jr., to run. A committee from the district, consisting of John W. Gray, Charies Valentine, James Hogg, H. ©, Robinson and Dr, White, chairman of the Now!- nating Convention, and several others, called yesterday afiernoon at the Filth Avenue Hotel to meet @ sub-committee trom the State. General Committee, consisting of General George H. Sharpe and Hogh Gardner. “he Tweoty-frat district dele- gation demanded that the State Commitee should . Fecede irom their action, which the latter deciinea to do, The facts of the as stated by General Sharpe, upon which the resolution of the General Committee was based, were these:—For the last twoor three years there has been considerable trouvle in this district. Mr. Haw, Jr., had pat himself forward &# candidate for Assembly, and each time he was not only badly beaten, but he failed to run anywhere near with the regular ticket. This year no available candidate couid at once be found. Mr. Haw demanded that ne should receive a complimentary vote, and he pledged bimseif that he should decline as soon as nom- inated. The Convention met, and Mr. Haw | Teceived the entire vote, but declined the nom- ination, and the Convention adjourned; instead, however, lor one day. it was ior @ week. On the next day Mr. Haw again retterated his promise not to run iorthe office. In the mean- time, however, he made ail bis preparations, and last Thursday the same convention renominated him snd he accepted the candidature, after which the Convention adjourned sine die, Great dissatis'action followed among the faith- fal and the good offices of the State Committee were invoked, Mr. Haw, Jr., was sent for on Wednesday and talked to on tne subject. At first he seemed to be defiant, and when requested to return at toree o’clock in the afternoon he did not come back until wwo or three hours later, and then and there he signed his letter of declination. Now, as this assembly and the county conventions had both adjourned and Mr. Granville P. Haws had already received a nomination in the district, the State Committee was the only competent power to act in the premises. “These,” says Gen- eral Sharpe, ‘are the plain facts in the case.” On the other hand, the delegation headed by Mr. Gray state that William Haw, Jr., 18 very popular in the district and could win, and tuey do not pro- pose to abide by the action of the General Com- mittee. So the fur will be made to fy in the Twenty-first district from this out, and the case of Haw vs. Haw, with a tinal s, will doubtless create # good many Haw-Haws by election day. THE LIBERAL DEMOORATS, Meeting of the General Committee— Senator Creamer on the Prospect of the Election. Ameeting of the General Committee of the liberal democrats was heid jast evening at Irving Hall. The large room was lighted up for the oc- casion, but, there being some mistake about the call of the meeting, tt was finally resoivea to hold it in the small hall adjoining. Mr. Creamer, upon entering, was loudly cheered. He said the meeting was called simply for the purpose of answering any questions toat might be put to the committee in reference to the organization, All the executive power had been centred in @ committee of nine, who met every morning and at four o’ciock in the afternoon, and they would continue to do @o unul the day of election, The Principal work was being done by those gentle- men, and so far it had been done well and effectu- ally. Arrangements had been made in the various election districts for the distribution of their bal- lots. These ballots embraced the names of the candidates for State and county offices together, with a separate ballot designating the constitu, tional amendments. They would be given to every voter in the city before next Monday at twelve o'clock. Everything in fact had been per- fected, and their candidates were as confident as ever. Nothing that could be done had been left undone, Of course it was the policy of their op- ponents vo underrate the strength of this move- ment, He argued that pool selling was no crite- rion by whicn to judge of the results of the elec- tions, In jact the result was always different from that indicated by the pools, as instance the cases of Mr. James O’Brien and Mr. Shandiey, who were at the head the wool. poo but who were defeated, The business was conducted by the managers of Lammany ial] and generally affected tne timid, and those were always to be found on the strong stae. 1 however, woo wook suflicient interest to come to tne meeting showed they had confi- dence in the movement. He believed their cause Was right and would inthe end prevail. At the Tammany Hall meeting the other evening, though they had distinguished speakers, including Mr. Seymour, Mr. Kernan and Governor Parker, though tne meeting lasted for three hours, not one of them alluded toa single ‘'ammany canai- date for a county office. (Applause.) ‘Ihose gentlemen were vrought there simply to give color to the meeting. It was plain that mmany Hall did “not c@re one jot for the State ticket. Now, this party, composed of liberal democrats, was the first in the tleld to indorse the nominations made @t the State Convention, first in the field to sup- port Tilden and Dorsheimer, and would not barter away their interests for any candidates for local oMces, ‘the speeches made at the /ammany Hall meeting were rected mostly to the state of affairs m Louisiana and elsewhere. Why did they not refer to the fact that a charter election was to be held in the city; that citizens were to be chosen for the offices of Mayor and ter. They did allude to the fact that public works had been abandoned, and to the wretched policy oc the | financial aaministration which had proved go dis- astrous. He considered that Mr. Seymour and Mr. Kernan had done a great wrong in countenancing such @ meeting. If they desired to address the democracy oi this city, they should have come before au independent body and expressed their views, Tammany bad already captured some of the most prominent men who attended the first meet- ing, held tor the purpose of organizing opposition | to Tammany Hall. They succeedea in taking every man except Mr. Wateroury. bt ieel tiga They promised commtssionerships and judgeships for next year. They had done all they could to enlist Mr. Waterbury’s yoy but without avail Now, he believed this lhberal democratic party had as good an organization as Tammany Hall if its affairs were properly managed, and hie asked the people to sustain them, for he thought their cause was right. The republican leaders had already discussed the propriety of withdrawing their candidate for Mayor, and the contest, in thatevent, would be between Wicknam and Ot- | tendorier. Last night in one of the Assembiy dis- tricts, at @ meeting of a Se organization, | Mr. Ottendorfer’s nomination was unanimously indorsed. (Appiause.) So far everytning a gured for the success of the movement, and, as nothing had been left undone, they reiied upon the people for their support. (Applause). Alter the: transaction of some routine business the meeting adjourned, THE PIPTH CONGRESSIONAL DISTRICT. Edwin R.

Execution of Olivier Gallien for the Murder of Xavier Poulin. | A TERRIBLE CRIME IN ACADIA, The Murder, the Trial and the Execution. Batuurst, N. B., Oct. 29, 1874, Olivier Gallien has to-day expiated on the scafe fold his gfeat crime, committed a few days more than six months since—a crime whica in all its fea- tures was 80 singular, or, at least, so far out of the common manner of crimes, thatit deserves special mention. Galiten was @ man of thirty or thereabouts, like his victim an Acadian fisherman, He is a Roman Catholic, can neither read nor write, understands English, and can speak a few words of it brokeniy. In appearance he somewhat re- sembles an Indian, his complexion having the swarthy copper hue popularly considered peculiar to the aborigines, but very irequently found among the French Canadians, his hair being straight and black and his eyes black and bead like. THE VICTIM. For some years Xavier Poulin, subsequently Gal. Nen’s victim, had been a leper. When the disease declared itself the parish priest ordered a prac tical divorce between him and his wife. Illicit relations sprang up between her aad Gallien, which had existed for some time, unquestionably with the husband’s knowledge, probably wita his tacit acquiescence. ‘he younger of the two chil, dren, indeed, was the child of Gallien, The pres ence of Poulin, however, appears to have beem considered inconvenient by the wife and her paramour, and they plo:ted to get rid of him. THE MURDER, On the 20th of April last Poulin left his cabin te cut @ path in the bush for hauling out fence-rails, He did not return to dinner. About four o'clock Gallien’s sister went out into the bush where Poulin was working, some 200 yards from the cavin, to get his axe. she lound him lying prostrate, bloody and dead, in the middle of tae space he bad been clearing, and shrieking “Mon Diew! Xavier est mort!” ran to convey tne news to his wile. She received it without demone stration apd sent her for a neighbor—Justin Mo- Tin. With this man and some other persons came Gallien, who had that morning, when Poulin went out, held @ brief conversation with his wile, fol- lowed Poulin to the woods, returned, changed his clothing, zone to the mainiand and come back just as the body was found, Un the 21st application was made to a Coron on the mainland lor an order for burial of the mains, which was granted. But some hints of to tragedy crossed the strait, the order was counter> manded aud an inquest held, the two suspecveg persons being arrested. While the inquest was proceeding Gallien was noticed to be terribly exe cited. He alternately became ghastly pale aud flushed, the sweat poured from his lace, he unbut- toned his coat and shirt as if lor air, his throat sobbed vonvulsively and bis breast heaved. Then, suddenly beating his bosom and clutching at il, ne gasped, “I did it! I didit! My God! I am choke ing!” Growing calmer, he went on to say that he had committed the murder at the instigation of his paramour. THE TRIAL, On the ist of September the Court opened at Batnurst, Judge Weldon presiding. <A true bili was iound inst both prisoners, Gallien for the murder, wife a8 an accessory before the fact. his confession, irequent reite- rated vefore, at and after the inquest, he was con- victed, the jary, at hall-past six P. M., alter an ab- gence of two nours, bringing in a verdict of guilty, accompanied with a recommendation to mercy. the trial Gallien maniiested no ae though at times be put on a wild and alari look. THE EXECUTION. The sentence of death was executed upon Gab Men this morning at eight o’ciock. He slept well during the previous night and partook of a hear! breakfast and bid the jail attendants goodby, witl ‘the remark that it was lemn day tor him.

CHARLES GOEPP, POOL SELLING ON THE CANDIDATES. Even Bets that Tilden Will Get 15,000 Majority in the State. There was a very large gathering of politicians and others as the pool rooms in Twenty-eignth street, near Broadway, last night. The bidaing was active and spirited, and the auctioneer real- ized good prices jor his political wares. The fol- lowing are a few of the pools sold, which will give the non-betting portion of the community a fair insight into the opinions the betting men have as ee Prospects of the two parties in the city and 68s ‘Toat Tilden will get 15,000 majority in the State:— $100 100 125 100 105 125 ‘Tuden will get 25,000 majority in the $100 150 130 275 That Tilden will carry the State (question or Majority not considered) Yes. . $100 120 150 vi 60 80 85 ‘That Hayes will get 20,000 majority :— ‘es.

The pool was $100 to $50. Severai efforts ‘Were made to get up other pools on Wickham’s chanves, but the betting men seemed go certain of bis election that when $100 was again bid for tirst choice and Wickham Was chosen the bids on the field conid not be ratsed above $10, so the pool had to be withdrawn. The same result followed au attempt made to get up a pool on him conced- ing him 10,000 majority, An offer of first choice ($100) that Tilden would yet 40,000 majority in this hs also failed to secure a sufficient ‘‘under”’ bid on Dix to justify the ee being allowed to Stand. An offeroi $100, firat choice, that Tuden *would poll 70,000 votes in this city also fatlea to draw out @ second choice over $10, which, of course, prevented the pool being made. 18 POOL SELLING GAMBLING? An Official Inquiry Concerning It. Maron's Orrics, New Youre, Oct. 26, 1876, Hon Bensauw K. Puezps, District attorney, &¢. :— Duan 8in—For several years past what are known as election pools have been sold in this city to its great di grace, the injury of the public morals, and the degrada- Mion of the elegiive franchise.

I request you, therefore, with the least possible delay, to advise me tf any and what laws for the punishment of this grave offence are in force.
