NEW YORK HERALD, FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 6, 1874.-TRIPLE SHEET JUBILEE Celebration of the Great Democratic Vic- tory at the Manhattan Club. SPEECH OF THE GOVERNOR-ELECT, Addresses, Letters and Telegrams from Distinguished Democrats. ‘The Manhattan Club blazed like a comet's tail last evening. ‘Three hundred gentlemen of the Digest democratic blood gathered from all parts ef the United States in the old Benkard manzion, corner of Fifteenth street and Fiith avenue, to cele- brate, congratulate and cherish each other on the victory won by the democratic party in nineteen states over the foe who had beaten them since 1861. From brilliantly lighted windows and from behind gorgeous curtains came the sounds of music and the din of ipeessant Conversation as the evening advanced, and when Mr. Tilden entered in evening dress, and having & widely etretching white necktle, straight as the vertebra of @ sword fish, the gallant old gentleman was congratulated as Gov- ernor of the Excelsior State by a hundred pairs of bands. No more gloom, no more sorrow, but hope and fireworks for ten years to come, was the motto of all the guests. It was curious to see venerable old gentlemen, whose hairs were whitened by many years of business and ‘nonght, gathering in groups and acting like well bred school boys, who, after @ severe fight, had succeeded in ‘locking ‘the master ont.’ The parlors were laden with the odors of fragrant flowers and were garlanded, pillar and doorway, with red, white and blue siiken banners, And irom above on the wide and massive stairs that only needed dames in brocade and velvet to give the scene a Venetian air, came ‘tne sounds of music that enhanced the democratic enchantment, It was for hours a procession of statesmen, orators, lawyers, capitalists, fariste, judges, men of letters, artisis and faneurs, all of whom it is to be supposed voted the regular ticket on last Tues- day. The entire building was handsomely lit up, and every room was filled with groups of gentle- Men who had met and parted years belore, and who were now clasping hands, laughing and nod- ding to cach other with decorous and well bred enthusiasm. Sentences came from their lips such as “Well, we have beaten them badly,” “It was a tremendous victory,’”’ “‘Now for 1876,” “We shall beat them then worse than now,” and other allu- sions to the all-pervading ana swelling theme. All the best known democratic names in the eountry were represented inside of the club walls. A few old gentlemen who were not particularly Wild about politics adjourned quietly to the whist Toom and silently enjoyed themselves, But the Managers of the party and the leading social sports wandered to and fro in @ high state of satisfaction. There was Thur- man, of Ohio, grave, handsome and gray- Readed—the hero of the corn-fed democracy— August Belmont, the capitalist, behind whom millions roll with the never weakening flow of & gulfstream; Judge Barbour, quiet and composed; John K, Hackett, with bis stern face and ample brow; Bayard, of Delaware, who beatifies the Senate by his family tradition and grace of man- ner; Robert B. Roosevelt, ptscator princeps; the sagacious Stockton, of New Jersey; James Stokes, with “millions in him” and a face that seemed to be cut from a coin: Manton Marble, editor of the World, courteous and full of repartee, and attired in his usual fauitiess taste; Smith Ely wearing spectacles and having the appearance of a Berlin projessor instead of a victorious Congressman; Sunse. Cox also victorious and as seraphic as ever; Gordon, of | Georgia, William Preston Johnson came from the dark and bloody ground to bear congratulations to New York and Judge Hunter, of Virginia. Just coming from the library is Samuel L. M. Barlow, his cheerful face overflowing with good nature; the man who, after years of a bitter fight, broke the brigand’s power in the Erie Ratlway. George H. Purser, his face like an oil painting of a Huguenot cavalier; William Henry Huriburt, wit, conversationalist and journalist, who would not walk more than twenty miles to hear a political speech; Homer A, Nelson, formerly Secretary of State; Nathan D, Bangs, publisher of the World newspaper; Dotgias Taylor, busy as a bee; Cyrus Yale, Steadfast democrat; Charles A. Rapalio, whose family gave a winning stroke oar to the courageous Columbia crew; Martin McMahon, tall and soldier like; Augustus Schell in earnest confab with our handsome Mayor elect, William H. Wickham; Kinsella, editor of the Bagle; William O. Kingsley, municipal magnate of Brooklyn; Colonel Edward L, Gaul, of the House Committee, energetic and active; John T. Agnew, protector of the docks; ©. Godfrey Gunther, trom Bath; Fernando Wood, as straight as a ramrod and fall of battle and vigor; Ben Wood, the jour- palist; Edward Cooper, Abram 8. Hewitt, flushed with his two-day old victory over O’Brien; Judge Spencer, Judge George Shea, pondering over some marine probiem, Edward Boyle the handsomest figure in the Manbattan Club, Henry L, Clinton, looking very solemn, and John Kelly, master of the situation and lord of forty-two thousand ma- jority. And in addition to all these gentlemen there were hundreds of others well known in 60- ciety, business and politics. The band during the evening played selections from Faust, Robert, and other operas, and at one time ventured to play the Mulligan Guards, which was received with favor, When Mr. Belmont escorted the Governor elect from the upper parlor to the one below, in ich the speeches were to be made, the band broke forth into the triumphant chant of “Hail to the Chief,” and as he entered the main parlors there was great and high-toned enthusiasm irom all the guests. Governor Tilden, Senator Thurman, of Ohio, Senator Stockton, of New Jersey, Senator Eaton, of Connecticut, and Senator Bayard, of Delaware, addressed tne club and | pes. and were loudly appiquded, Then came a full blown and earnest serenade from the outside on Fifth avenue to Governor Tilden, which was al loudly cheered the crowds who aes on the sidewalk. during serenade @ sumptuo coliation ing of fish, fowi, game 1 potted meats, in accOMpapiment to these delicacies, the result of the heroic efforte of Pijax, the club stew- ard, wine owed like ademocratic majority, and the end came to ali the speeches and cork popping and band playing at last, and when it all had ended and every member of the Manhattan Club and every gucst that enjoyed its nospitalities nad goue home, the that a glorious victory bad been ‘won and that all was serene for 1576, REMARKS BY AUGUST BELMONT. Shortly before ten o’ciock Mr. AUGUST BELMONT took the chair amia great cheering, He said he had a threejold duty to perform, which were most tes his feelings, and for which he conid scarcely flud words to express. In tne first ue. he thanked the Manhattan Club (or the high mor, unexpected as it was, which bad been be- Stowed upor bim by electing him its president. (Applause.

He would not detain the meeting fur ther and would close uelJ. Tilden. (Loud cheers.) SPEECH OF THE HON. 8. J, TILDEN. FELLOW CtizeNs—The great victory which we have lately achieved in the state of New York 1s not a personal victory. Its beneficent conse- quences will not be confined toa party or to any Class of citizens, Its blessings, like tne dews of heaven, will fall equally upon all the people, (Ap- Plause.) Many republicans voted with us, and, if we are wise in our fature policy, they wilt gener- ally remain as permanent coworkers in our cause. Many thousands of republicans who ha not had the moral courage to break away from party ues slept more tranquilly on the night after the election. In our success they telt a sense of relief, They saw the dawning of a new hope for their own personal prosperity and for the rescue of the imperitied institutions of our country. Let us, then, in the midst of our congratulationa, not forget to be magnaf!mous toward our adversaries in the recent contest. Let us remember— what General Grant’s administration seems never to have known—that the party in- vested with the powers of government, while it’ willbe guided by ita convictions of rignt as to public measures, is, after all, only a trustee forthe whole people. (Applause.) The masters of po- Utical science who iramed our government pre- dicted that, if ever we fell into civil war our free institations would be imperilied if not destroyed. They had learned from history how apt wars are to be fatal to liberty, how they consolidate power and corrupt the people, how they engender systema of administration which ruin Tepublics —which chi their character, even if riminat ju. These dangera were not absent from Tne minds of mapy of us, wh poveringleny thought it our duty when the civil Came to ald in giving the vic- tory to our = e0 We could not consent to ti dismemberment our country. We believed that liberty were greater from a successfal war for digunion than from @ successiul war for the We knew that the questions in contro- versy were more | ible to be settled peace fay outside of the Union than tnside of the Union, an tions. still more dificult would tion. We saw that the temper no solution—whether in the Union ofarms, It was one of those conjunctures in bu- man affairs in which a manly choice has to be made betwees opposite evils and opposite dangers, We had to save our country from dismemberment first, and afterward to save its liberties from sub- version. It is the calamity of our country that the men who have swayed its counsels for the ten years since the war have been steadily changing the substance of the government at the same time that they have been wasting the resources and blighting the prosperity of our people, THE THIRD TERM. In most countries of tne Old World the mere machinery of government has been able to aubju- gate the unorganized masses of the people, Even in our own time, with universal suffrage, half a million of oMice-holders and balf @ million of soldiers moved from the centre have been able to control the elections among 40,000,000 of the French, and to obtain im- mense majorities for all the usurpations of the Third Napoleon. In the reaction in favor of centralism caused by the attempt at secession our government has been going on in acareer of usur~ pation transcending the dreams ‘o! the monarch- ists of 1800. Add to 80,000 offlce-holdera the existing power over the banks; add to this the ower to be derived from an absorption of the elegraphs, railroads and schools, and an adminis- tration would be generally sure to re-elect itself or to designate its successor, Break the tradition against a third term and you will Dourish an ambition more fatal to liberty than the treason of Arnold or of Burr. The President might then es well be for life, or be allowed to transmit his trust to his heirs. If our government should be so changed in substance, it would not matter whether it should continue to be called a Republic or whether our Cesar should be decorated with the imperial purple. The waste of the war was great enough at best. Its cost in human lives was doubled by a disregard of the principle of the mulitary art, which requires the concen! jon oD a decisive point of our threefold su; jority in numbers and our niaefold superiority in resources, ts cost in money was doubled by an unnecessary de- basement of standards of value and the payment, at fictitious prices, in government promises, to 06 redeemed after the fiction had passed away. When at iast peace came the helm of the ship of State should have | hard in the sry crite direction, Bus note withstanding ‘the loss of 4 million of our young men who went to untimely graves, and the waste of atleaat $5,000,000,000 of property, it was pretended that we had actually grown richer. Under the influence of treasury finance and the teachings of treasury philosophy ensued a period of false and delusi erit; The enor- mous taxation of federal government continued, and by its example and by the state githings it created enormous taxation by all State 4 munrcipat™ governments, extravagance in private ex, ees, gambling specuistion in the place ot in » and frugality were the natural results. I conjeoture—I have not time to care- fully estimate—tbat the new waste and the re- tardation of the repair of the old wi in these ten years would be equal to the cost of two years of the war, At last the system falls by its own reaction. The tliusion breaks. Property, tor the time, loses its circulating quality. Kesources are dried up, Means disappear. Labor ig unem- ployed, The issue of $44,000,000 ofnew greenbacks does not sustain prices, Isaid at the time thac if Grant should the Inflation bill ne vetoed it sacred been turned would have no t.

Senator THuRMAN, Of Ohio, said:—Mr. President and Gentlemen of the Manhattan Club—Before eay a word in politics, or rather say the more important words in politics that I have to utter, I have @ paramount ausy to perform, and that is to give you message from one of the most beautisul democratic widows [ ever saw. As I was riding tothe depot to-day this lady met me in the street and I told her that l was going to New York to help them to rejoice at the election of our friend Tilden. She said, “Good, give my compliments to the democracy of New York and tell them that, as they have shown themselves to have omnipotent power, their firat duty is to make Tilden take a wife. (Laughter and cheers.) A Voice—He is provided for at Albany already. (Laughter and cheers.) Senator THURMAN.—I will communicate that to the lady, although it may cause her some disap- pointment, (Laughter.) eieven o'clock last night, just as I had ended the delivery of a speech to about two thousand Ku Kiux—ilaughter)—who were @ great state of excitement, I sald I can- notdony myself the pleasure of being with my sriends of the Manhattan Club to-morrow night to testify the high esteem I place upon the victory, not alone of the democracy'of that golden city, but also to bear my humble testimony to the merits of the man I have known for so many years, and known nothing but that which prompted my re- spect and my esteem to him who was your gailant standard-bearer and whom you have elected to fill the gubernatorial chair of the Me Although Jam laboring under & hoarseness that incapaci- tates me srom Spearing, and I am here not to make you & speect—for long speecves would not be in order here, where there are so many whose voices you will be glaad to hear—yet allow me to say a few words to show to you the Motives that have influenced Oy presence here and the great interes: | feel in this cause. Now, my friends, you have heard abous the cost of the democratic victories this year. I shall notrepeat my own views upon. this subject; they have been stated again and again. 1 will only say that this is nova spasmodic effort made by the people. It is not merely @ time-victory, It is not victory of what is called an “off-year,’” for the foundation of the victories of this year were laid in the victories obtained last year. There are no such things in mathematics as two consecutive odd nambers. There are not two “off-yeara’! following one another consecutively. It won’t do to say the victory of 741s the victory ofan “of. year.” No, my iriends, it is the igivey strength of the democratic party, as they were banded to- gether in their common labors and their common prosperity. (Cheers.) Isaid I would not speak of the cost. rather wish to say a few words about the result. It becomes us, in my judgment, to turn our thoughts to the futare Tather than to the pase, Let me say one thing in connection with the Governor eiect. I prophesy for that election results far beyond the limits of the State of New York. I prophesy that from that there will be beneficent results throughout the breadth and length of this Republic, Not eitaer in one view only, of the election of a democrat, but especially in those particular views that com- mend themselves to every thoughtful man. Tne election of Samuel J, Tilden to the Governorship of New York is the announce- ment everywhere in this Republic that the man who has the boldness to encounter dan- ger in the throttling of vice and fraud against all odds will be supported by the people. (Cheers.) Never, my friends, in the history of any country, was this lesson needed more than at this very time. It was needed not in New York half so much asitis needed elsewhere. It is needed in every State in the South, and, I am sorry to say, needed in the State of New York. The news thas this champion of truth and honesty tn government had been elected by 47,000 majority in the great State of New York will be an incitive to effort in every State of the Republic. (Cheers.) to the election of my friend Tilden as fact of this peculiar significance, and in this respect far more beneficial in its conse- quences than the election of any other man in the city, however worthy he may be. (vheers.) For I have said throughout the election that it is our duty to look to the future and to see what are the responsibilities that are resting upon us. After the 4th of March tthe House ¢ by a large should be recollected that the fact of the Senate being against us will not relieve us irom respon- sibility or from the necessity of having a clear and well defined policy tor our party. During the greater part of General Jackson’s administration the oe of the Senate were opposed to him in politics, bat Jackson never faltered for 8 mo- ment in presenting the policy which gave him @ right to urge it with all the strength of his mighty will, (Cheers.) Though we shall not @ whe Senate or the Presidential chair until the 4th of Maroh, 18° the peopie of the country will look to the House of Representa- tives to present that united front which will lead ‘us to victory in 1876. There it is of the ut- Most importance that true doctrines suail be taught, true principles shall be incui d, that error shail be eliminated, tbat diference of ntal shall be Mers, not with discordant masic, but to the same music and ander the same flag that bas assured us victory. (Cheers.) Let us settle apon prin- cred to our land, hat ese an phetic fire to prophecy that this republican misraie under which tais country has been burtnened down, and which it has endured for eight long years, wiii find ite redemption on tne 4th of Marcn, 1877, and @ termination that will be its proper death. (Cheers.) But now, my irtends, I have said twice as much us I Intended to say, It gives reat pleasure to make way forthe other speakers. SENATOR BAYARD’S ADDRESS. Senator Bayard, of Delaware, was next introauc- ed. He said :—This ts not the first time, my irtends, that 1 have tasted of your welcome, and I know how courteous and kind it is, It is not the first time that my hand has saaken yours, or that my 1 | form ot law, My friends, when at | eye has met yours when congratola! you honorable victories in politica.

It grow cick crops which our chiiaren to the Fonerstign would gather and rejoice. (Applause.) wish | could only cheery and kindly words. 1 1 coul ake your hands with the joy 1 feek im contemplating wi bas occurred, jut 1t ls Bard to contemplate 1s and realize what it all means, and in the face of such things mere individual joy seems exceedingly unworthy. ‘There is something jor contemplation in what we have witnessed in this country, and in view of that idee why not tramme! up the consequences which are to follow. ‘There is something which c 8 tO bush idle jubilation and substitute deep and almost prayerful gratitude. Cast your eye as one heten whO are tonging to see relief for their children and their homes in the victories gained in Unis Northern political contest, It seems iale joy, however joyous I may Jeel on the subject, for we snouid be grateful rather than joyiul. There was much to consider if the democrats would hold the lease of political power, Let us take and form some little conception of the responsibilities that come with the powers that are likely to be entrusted to our hands, We shoulda especially bear fm mind that this 18 not mere [ened victory. .Tue man who thinks s0 I fear, @ limited comprehension of the truth.

Never was fe or more SHorone Dy: ‘ow at the elections on Tuesday last?

This ig the great work we have before us to-day. ined the votes of the people and their confidence and we must retain it.

I believe our government will be perpetu- ated, because the American people have shown that when they choose to withdraw their cont- dence from.any party, however strong and in- trenched and disci with the democratic party. Why 1s th jecause Ol the distrust of the people in radicalism. But check these evils, and, therefore, tor whatever there is of evil in the government to day we are not responsibie ; for all those evils the two great parties in the country. people to-day have witudrawn from the republican party and put their faith and reliance in he democratic party. The people have said you have been deprived of power, and now we restore you to power—give the control of the vernment, believing w your prulessions will be kept. We believe, reriews as you have been to effect good, you e shown your desire to throttle evil. Y: shown your projessions for the right; we take you the government of the country.

Your Governor-elect never said a truer word than when he said, you cannot have one part of the country oppressed and imcoverished without having the effects of such a state of things affect- ing the whole entire country.

After stating that he wished | he had voice enough to make himeell heard, as he Was just recovering from acold, he satd:—Now, Mr, Chairman, I agree in everything that is said 4m those resolutions, They meet the questions that are before the country. The party now in power have gone on with so mucn bold- ness and im such open defiance of public opinion that the people have become groused, and are everywhere determined to pat is down, (Cheers.) There were questions in this eanvass Dot alone confined to the city, but affect- ing the people everywhere. The legisiation given | by the republican party to the country for the last few years bas been of such acharacter that the men in power and those connected with them became impressed with the idea that they could do anything and that the people would submit to it, The people have been expecting—that 1s, the conservative element of the country connected with the republicans have been expecting—that the regeneration of the country would come about in good time. Their hopes buve not been realized, for durmg this canvass it was frequently said by Men who voted the repubitcan ticket that their confidenve in the republican party had evaporated and that, for the iuture, shey were going. to sus: tain the Democratic party. (Cheers.) hey said that any sort o/ a change Could not be worse than | tue present condition, of things. Now, you have | been aided by the republicans everywhere. On this there can be no mistake, when the State of Massachusetts—the Athens of the nation—that has been republican since the organization of the republican party, and whig for years betore the repuhiican party came into existence, has wheeled into line, and said, in words that cannot be mis- taken, ‘There must be a change in the national government.” The States that are named iu the | resolutions were republican in their character. They all have come into line. They were not brought in by the democratic party, and we should Dot attempt to teel consoied by tne tact tp any Way that we have been assisted by the conserva- tives. The peopie everywhere are expecting that the democratic party wall give them good govern- ment—(cheera)—that you are going to regenerate the Southern States, and place them onan equality with the other Staves; that iree opinion shall be oxpressed; that tl shall be no interference With the people by the military; and of this there is nO. stronger evidence than the vote given on | Tueeday last.

Tue abuses that existed im this city were attemptea to be reformed by the party that was given power two years ago. They went the gisiature and got a charter of ther own election, and laws that at least should have been beneficial to good government; yet with all this power there never was a party within my recollection that qhowed such incapacity to use it.

He spoke in strong terms of the recent election out- rage. He said that the man, James O’Brien, who had nominated himself as his opponent, had | Doasted that he would be returned by a majority | 0f 10,000, and he felt assared that i{murder would have served bis oppenent’s pur; it would have been done. It was the lastt nt of his mind that such @ contest would hi een lorced on Mr. Hewitt having ted that he had given word to the police oi an apprehended attack on his politica porters, and that the police failed to appear and discharge their duty, said, much ag he regretted the anhappy occurence that took place on election day, he believed that 1. it nad not occurred Mr. O’Brien would have been returned in place of himself, and there would have been thus returned to the mational council the repre- sentative of the mob. He (Mr. Hewitt) took some pains to get at the facts in this case, and irom disinterested witnesses he was able to say that it would be shown that the attack on that occasion ‘was made by James O’Brien and not by Voroner | Croker, Coroner Croker had no pis:ol on that Occasion, aud never drew one. Voice—He never carried one in his life. Mr. Hewitt said toat he knew Mr. Croker drew Do pistol, and that when pistols were drawn they were drawn by the Grposite side. He did not underestimate the difficulty of the contest. He went into no grogshops, and treated no crowd of hired rufians. He used no money to bay votes, but what he did was to protect the honest voter in hia right to deposit his ballot, whether it was for him or against him. Mr. Kelly said that Mr, Hewitt had spoken truly about hired ruflanus going up the avenue. That ag all true. Mr. Croker was not the aj jO1's What he did wae done witha view to protect the ballot box. Mr. Hewitt said the evidence on this point was overwheiming, and he believed that but for the firmness of Richard Croxer James O'Brien wouid have got the certificate o! election. Mr. A. Delaney having addressed the meeting in brief terms the proceedings closed and the audience at once dispersed. DEMOORATIC REJOICINGS IN JERSEY, to the Gov Elect, the Mayor of Je y City and the Success- fal Candidates, The democracy of Jersey City were fired with enthusiasm iast night. An immense concourse, headed by a band, marched through thé principal atreets aud serenaded Judge Bedie, Governor eleot; Leon Abbett, Senator elect; Mr. MoGill, As- semblymao; Mr. Hardenberg, Congressman, and Mayor Traphagen. Speeches were made by the Governor elect, the Mayor and Messrs. Abbett, Hardenberg, Brann, Cleveland and Laverty. The speech of the Governor elect was remarkable in two points—brevity and the absence of any allusion to politics, He said that inasmuch as he had taken 00 part in the canvass they mast not expect bim to make political speech. He in- tended to remain silent until he tendered his Tesignacion as Justice of the supreme Court. He thanked the democracy for the sacrifices they had made and promised that be would administer the laws tor the good of the whole people, This speech was iollowed by deafening cheers. « Mayor Traphagen congratulated the people on the glorious victory achieved, whieh he styled o triumph of ira | over corruption.

Thid time the President said it would be time enough -to hear the news through the newspapers. No one sent him election returns, and to-day as well ad yesterday the Executive Mansion was deserted. Secretary Bristow calied to transact business, and the President, with a melancholy voice, said, “BE BRIEF. I AM SICK.! He does not hesitate to put the reponsibility upon Congress, or rather upon the republicam members in both houses. It was enongh that the country should suffer the privations and losses incident to the panic of 1873, without adding thereto the protracted uncertainty of useless de< bate on the currency question and the suspension: of business consequent upon this Congressional agitation. One thing, however, the Presidend does not concede, and that is that the senseless agitation of THE THIRD TERM NONSENSE had anything to do with the result; nor does ha think that Tuesday's vote is a repudiation of tha republican party or republican principles. 1t only appears to him as the work of the panic, bit he jails to say to what extent the distresa was the result of the legislation and administrae tion of the republican party. in the midst of it,; however, he renews his determination to fll the important federal offices in we South with better: men, and will, so far as it is in his power, see thas no further weakening of the republican strength shall be laid to hia charge. 1¢ is such circum. stances as those attending the recent elections that make the President reticent. In his forth- coming message he will, in alluding to the condi- tion of affairs in the South, recommend that such Measures be immediately passed as will enable the federal authorities to make the laws of the country respected, thongh it is not now clear What additional legislation is necessary. He doubts the propriety of passing the Oivi! Rights bill, unless Congress is prepared to give him suciy aid as would enable him to make the law a living fact, and not a dead letter. Uniess this is done i¢ were better the bill should be deieated, THE MUCH-TROUBLED WILLIAMS.

THE GHOST OF CARSAR does not, in his opinion, excuse the party nor ex. plain the defeat, Secretary Bristow, hating from ® State that is always democratic, regrets the change lest it wili interfere with the credit of the government and unsettle the value of our bonds, and make it diMcult to fund the whole of the five per cents, It does not appear to him an encour- | aging sign to see so Many democrats in Congress, for already the revenues of the government are falling off, and the probability ia that at the next session of Congress additional taxation will be urged as a financial necessity. The prospect, then, of a democratic House a year hence does not gi’ much promise of increased revenues or diminished expenditures, Being a lawyer, however, he igs willing to wait until be is called upon to judge the facts and not the fancies of those who think they see the handwriting on the wall against the re- publican party. ‘Ihe Secretary of War was formerly a democrat, but does not sympathize with the success of that party as against the one which has so iondly cared for him for five years, Secretary Fish 1s not here, | but Secretary Robeson, who returned to-night, facetiously and briefly says the defeat is attribu- table to want of votes. Secretary Delano has no opinion to express, But all with one accord de- clare that Cwsarism bad nothing to do with It, That is THE ONLY COMFORT the members of the Cabinet seem to have.
