Bovraro, August 10, 1875. The largest crowd ever seen at the Board of Prade rooms was there this morning to assist at the reception tendered Governor Tilden by the Board. The Governor was escorted in by Cyrus Clarke, George B. Hibbard and 8. S. Guthrie, in company with Lieutenant Gover. nor Dorsheimer, who took seats on the rostram amid loud cheers. The President of the Board of Trade, Cyrus Clarke, then addressed the audience, and in the course of his remarks introdued the Governor to tho assem- blage, who applauded, George B. Hibbard, counsel of the Board, then took the floor and delivered a highly complimentary address of welcome to His Excellency, and the Governor made the following response: — SPERCH OF THR GOVERNOR. Mr, Himrarp, Mr. Prksipkyt any GaNTLEMEN OF me Boarv o¥ ‘Trape—I rocognize in you not tho mem- bers of an important commereial board, not the busi- ness men of the noble city of Buffalo, but the repre- sentatives of that great system of inter-communication by which the products of the fertile and distant West and the populous East are exchanged—the common agents of those gregt communities which ocoupy the northern section of our Continent, The expense of conveying food to the consumer is often greater that the original cost of raising it. Whatever therefore cheapens transportation adds to the productiveness of human labor as much as the increased fertility of the soil or Seb tty: of the climate. Standing here in Buffalo and orning the eye toward the far West, wo behold a series of lakes forming the finest inland navigation that ministers to the wants of man, which, if stretched out in @ line would extend more than half the voyage from New York to Liverpool. On the east, by the Erie Canal and the placid waters of the Hudson, the system is ex- tended 500 hundred miles to the harbor of New York. In the west it is connected by a complicated system of Tailways with every minute part of that most magnifl- cent area of virgin soils which have been the theatre of the arts and industries of civilized life, a region tn which Nature has poured out her blessings with bound- less prodigality, and which is destined to be the seat of many millions of prosperous and happy people. Taken together this system js as long in ita whole extent as the track across the ocean—the ocean from the Old World to the New. Consider, my fellow-citizens, on what a grand scale the interests and business of our country are organized, Shall we protect the Erie Canal, which forms one of the most important lines of this system, from spoliation? That is the question for the business men of Bufialo to consider, (Applause,) You came down to Albany last winter and asked for a reduc- tion of the tolls. Ever anxious to cheapen the cost of transportation and transit, when I came to look into the question with;a desire ‘to carry out your wishes I found that you wore confronted by a body more numerous and more powerful than yourselves, the tax- payers of the rural districts of this State not immedi- ately benefited by the canals, in respect to whom the burdens of taxation had become nearly unbearable, and were 60 becoming with more oppressive severity évery day. I ventured, therefore, gentlemen, in my special me of March 18, to make a suggestion which [ thought would harmonize the various interests at stake. I found there were abuses and maladministra- tion, fraud and peculation which not only consumed the ontire surplus revenues of the Erie Canal, bat bur- dened our taxpayers with more than ” $2,000,000 a year, levied by taxes, under pretenec of ‘improving public works. I proposed, therefore, that we should on one hand reduce the tolls to the extent of $500,000 or $600,000, and on the other remit $1,750,000 in taxes, Six months have passed and the fruits of ‘that controversy have secured you the re- duction of the tolls you asked for and remitted to the taxpayers $2,250,000 Of the burdens imposed upon last year. I propose to yon to-day, gentlemen, that wo should continue this policy, (Applause.) Lf the people .of this State will send to the next. session of the legis- lative bodies representatives who will honestly co-op- erate in this great work, I here to-day promise them and promise you’ that whereas we ro- duced the taxes last year from seven and a half to six mills, next year we will put them down to four and a half mills and even four mills, and afterward they can be reduced still lower. You commercial mon of Buffalo have not only the common interest which every taxpayer has, but the special ad- vantage of further enfranchising trade and improving the means by which it is carried on. We will save a fund largo enough to answer every object of this descrip- tion, and go forward and make ihis great and powerful State and its institutions all that it has a right and is destined by Providence to become. (Applause.) I know, gentlemen, that attempts have been made to discourage the people in this great work. Wo have beon told that nothing has been accomplished, that nothing can be, and that the people are to remain bound, to be the prey of those who consume tho fruits of taxation, In answer I point to the practical results of six months of reform, hatare they? First, wo have wounded and crushed a system of abuse, maladministration, fraud and peculation that has fattened upon the public works, the transporter, the consumer and tie taxpayer (applause), and if the people of this State are true to themselves that system once broken will never be re- vived. In the second place, there has been enacted a series of laws to bring to account the public agents and official persons and punish their malversa- tions, and the efficacy of which if faithfully administered by the courts wil soon be seen. In the third place we havg reduced The tolls and remitted the taxes to the large extent I bave mentioned, In the fourth place measures have been instituted to hold to ac- count the public plundorers, These measures have been taken as early and as rapidly as possible and are goin| ‘on to consummation, I am glad myself to be repfoach for being too siow. I have boen as fast as I could be and have given all my time to your service. But I rejoice to be reproached for being too slow, becanse it indicates to me that the people are impatient to consummate the great reform, (Applause.) Fifth and lastly, gentlemen, there is something higher, more important, more noble, more deeply concerning human society than even these natural advantages. We have lifted the standard of public and and official morality in the country. We have awakened a sense of justice and duty in the people and are arousing public opinion to demand better gov- ernment and a purer administration everywhere. (Ap- pind) Gentlemen, the cause will not fail, In the last session it was often betrayed, sometimes defeated and generally obstructed, but it will go on to a complete triumph which will be a blessing to the whole of these 6,000,000 of people who live within the jurisdiction of | this State, (Applause.) Whoever shall dare to obstruct or oppose it or stand in its way will fall not to rise again. I know there are men of selfish interests who have not yet learned that the old age has gone out and the new ‘age has come in. (Applause.) There are public men seeking popular favor who still think that the way to success and honor is to combine self-interest, to pile Canal Ring upon Tweed Ring and so rule the people of this free State. According to tho measure of my ability L humbly represent the common sense of the people of this State, the farmers, th mechanics, the laborers, tho men of business—the moral senso and purpose of the community against its selfish and fraudulent interests. Now, men of Buffalo, Task you to-day to consider what is to be your part in this work? While, about your various callings and industries you leave the government to the care of itself and men who mean to make money by plundering, who @ their nights and days to study out the method. ‘hey are always at conventions and caucuses, They go to the Legislature, and while you are reposing in fancied safoty aro plotting against your intorests and rights. If you will permit me to offer a suggestion (I do not pre- sume to advise), I only say that when bad men gombine good nen should unite—(applause)—and if you will be as earnest, and determined, and persistent in detnandin; that the right shall’ be done, politicians wil court your favor and not the favor of the Canal ing or any other ring. What con- cern have you by what name a man {s called who aie Albany to mnisrepresent your interest and duties ? is it any satisfaction to a republican that that man is called @ republican, or to a democrat that he is called a democrat? Does lt make any differance what livery he | wears to serve the devil in? (Laughter and applaise. } I say you have but to aasert your rights and they will be respected, and when the parties to which you belong come to make their nominations, if there be on the ticket any one untrue to you you have but to exercise the reserved right of ‘the American citizen to vote for somebody else. (Cheers) | Gentlemen, I avail myself of this occasion to thank the Board of ‘Trade for their kind invitation and the citizens of Buffalo for the prodigal hospitalities which have been bestowed on me during the two days [ have been visiting my friend Lieutenant Governor Dorsheimer— (cheers)—who is about to take up his temporary resi- dence in Albany. [ thank you for your kindness to me, which I ve not so much to myself personally but to the caase which I serve, ‘The Governor then sat down, amid prolonged cheer- ing. H Licntenant Governor Dorsheimer was then londly called for, and in the course of his remarks said:— I thank you for your kindness in asking me to appear before you. Last autumn, greatly to Cy Manat sone Twas put before the poople for office, and in November I was elected to an office which brings mo {nto relation with | certain departments of the State government, [ have endeavored to do my dnty as a citizen of Builulo—so old that there aro few men within the sound of my voice who have lived here so long as [—that duty which the citizens of Buffalo desired Ishould do with reference to their local interests, I mean it was easy for me to favor in the Canal Board a reduction of tolls uy the canals—(applause)—and ono did not need to long in Albany ascertain that there was only only one way in which upon the canals could be reduced, the tolls The State could stand a reduction of revenue if a reduction of expenses could be made, and the Gov- ernor of the State showed how that might be done, (Applause,) And it was also easy for mo to support, in every place and at all times by vote, by spoech and by | bail reduced. They claim that the amount fixed by the | Louis Richards’ party of ‘Sioux, going northwest to in nal influence the policy of the ernot od this Biata, sche la nitpopaine’ vo inaugurate colar, ond rasa the politics of all parties above the degraded condition into which they have — hatel; sunk; which efforts, I believe, are supported by peo- le my city, among whom I grew P up from early boyhood, and among whom I expect w live and die. The cltizens of Bulfulo favor an honest administration without respect to party lines, and I be- hevo they will unflinohingly support the Governor in his earnest efforts to purify the politics of the present day. Mr. Dorshetmer then sat down amid cheers. An opportunity was then offered the assemblage to shake hands with the Governor, and an iunmense num- ber availed themselves of the privilege. The Governor, Iieutenant Governor and a few others then sailed down thecanal to Black Rock on the State tug A. P. Laning, where they were met by Mr. & 8. Jewett, who invited the party on board his palace steam pleasure yacht Titania, and 4 pleasant time was spent down the river, On their return the Governor and party visited the State Insane Asylum and thia evening @ large number of prominent citizens were presented to His Excelloncy at the residence of Mr, Dorshoimer, ‘The Governor leaves'for Saratoga on a special train to- morrow at nine A.

MaeMahon’s Presidency in Danger—Cabinet [n- trigne for Tis Resignation. PURITANISM IN THE ASSEMBLY. Wii the Hero of Magenta Become the Leader of a Street Massacre ? Paars, July 20, 1875. Tbe session is rapidly drawing to @ closo and the estimates are being hurried through the Assembly. On the 27th a supplementary grant of $600,000 toward the completion of the New Opera was carried by 847 votes to 14%, Zhe opposition to the item arose partly from economical considerations, the original estimate for the Opera having been but $2,400,000, while the actual cost has already exceeded $8,400,000. But the Vicomte de Lorgeril, who may be described aga kind of PURITAN CATIOLIC, condemnéd the grant as immoral, He argued that France was enervated by amusements, and evidently cherished the belief that much gilding and carved work were signs of national decadence. The same Deputy distinguished himself in 1871 by an attempt to introduce a bill for the stricter observanee of Sunday, when the Assembly readily indorsed his premises and shrewdly declined to accept his conclustons, It is needless to add that M. de Lorgeril’s dislike of theatres pe . is eminently orthodox, French children being still taught |*Average temperature for correspondin: in their catechisms that playgoing is a form of sin, THE NAVAL ESTIMATES ‘Wore passed yesterday by the Assembly. They amount to over $30,000,000, and notwithstanding the enormous sum (considerably over $500,000,000), to which the budget for the current year has reached, tho only dis- sentient voice heard was that of a Deputy who thought the amount too small M. Vandier drew a dismal Picture of the actual condition of the French | navy, and declared that unless something wero done the fleet would be reduced to a fourth of the present strength within ten years, Admiral de Montaignac, the Minister of Marine, was bound to answer that matters ‘were not really so desperate as they looked; but there can be no doubt that the formidable navy which, under the Second Empire, catised no littleeuneasiness to British statesmen, ts gradually melting away under the pressure of the financial difficulties, Tho question of peace embarrasses the action of the French government far more than is generally supposed, A STRANGH RUMOR has lately obtained circulation, to the effect that tho Premier Buffet has been intriguing to bring about the resignation of President MacMahon and tho elevation of the Duc d’Aumale to the Presidency, An indignant de- nial is, of course, given to the accusation by vhe organs | of the Ministry, but it may be doubted whether the Vice President of the Council, supported as he is by Orleanist votes, is not indirectly playing into the hands of the party with which he is identified. THE DUO D’AUMALE holds toward French conservatives who are not Bona- partists very much the position which was held by his father toward moderate liberals under tho Restoration, He is the constitutional chief whom they have agreed to honor, though not to obey; in other words, they wish to make uso of his great name to serve their ends, and especially to threaten MacMahon with a Sugeossor, just as Thiers waa threatened with MacMfa- hon. Indeed, that he will sooner or later tako the place of the Marshal seems highly probable. In all likelihood the Duc d’Aumale will be elected President of the new Senate. He will thus dll the most dignified situation in the Republic, and with a very little tact—of which the Duke has plenty—he will’ win golden opinions Mean- while the next general election will almost certainly re- sult in the return of a republican majority to the Lower Chamber, and Marshal MacMahon will one day dnd bim- self face to face with the alternative of accepting XM. GAMBETTA 48 HIS PROCE MINISTER, or resigning, unless he should take a third coursa, of | which the precodents are familiarly known as “the 18th of Brumaire” and “the 2d of December.” But the hero of Magenta would shrink from becoming the hero of a street massacre. Nor, on the other hand, woald he care to sit as a lay figure in a radical Cabinet over which his Presidency would be purely nominal. He would prefer to abdicate his powers. As, however, the Senators and Deputies together, convened in a National Assombly, will elect the President under the congtitution now being enacted, the republican majority in the Chamber of Deputies will be swamped by the conservative ma jority in the Senate, and a conservative Chiof of the | State will be chosen, although he may be compelled to | surround himself with liberal Ministers. Such a Prosi- dency the Duc d’Aumale might well be disposed to ac- House of Bourbon, Then new era may begin in the history of France, AMUSEMENTS. CENTRAL PARK GARDEN—SCHUBERT NIGHT. Mr. Theodere Thomas has inangurated at Central Park Garden # series of concerts for Tuesday nights, in which the programme consists wholly of selections from | the works of some great composer. We have had al- | ready a Wagner night, and a Beothoven night, and last | evening Schubert filled the bili with the following | works;—Overture, “Fier-&-Bras,”” octet in four move- ments—firat, introduction, Allegro; second, Andante; third, Scherzo; fourth, Andante Molto, Allegro—Sym- phony No. 9, in C; entr’acte, ‘“Rosamunde;’”’ theme and variations from’ the quartet in D minor; and over- ture “Alfonso and Estrella’ The octet in its ampli- fied form was a novelty. It was originally written for first and second violins, viola, collo, contrabasso, bern, clasionet and bassoon. It is purely chamber musi andg we question the judgment that would | take it from its legitimate on and place it on a sum- mer garden programme. The composer certainly never intended any amplification of his work. The symphony, thanks to ‘Thomas, has now become one of the chief favorites of the musical public of America This orchestra plays it charmingly. It teems over with deli- cious themes, framed in an exquisite orchestral aotting, and thero is hot an uninteresting bar in it from beginning | toend. The wonderful power and unanimity of the orchestra shine in the most resplendent light in the rendering of this grand work. Mozart's Symphony in D, No. 5, will be the cheval de batailie for Thursday night. ir, Thomas is still pursuing the policy he has adopted of presenting in these summer concerts of his such an array of new works as cannot be equalled efther tn Europe or America. His répertaire seoms almost tl limitable, Rare manuscripts, unknown to even the most found in his library, and at Central Park Garden they are first’ introduced to the public. What woudes, then, his popularity and uniprecodented success? GILMORE’S CONCERT GARDEN. This beautiful summer resort, which ts now consid- cred one of the chief attractions of the metropolis, was crowded last evening. Gilmore’s band, numbering over 100 musicians, among whom are the principal virtuost of the country, had a new bill and gave to each number a standard of perfection in rendering such as is rarely heard from @ military band. In Wagner's overture, “Rienzi,” the power and finished exprossion of the band was shown in its best light and again in the vory clever transcription of the Chevalier de Kontsky's “Le Reveil du Lion”’ a second triumph was achieved. A pot- pourri from Lecoeq’s last work, ‘‘Le Prés St. Gervais,"” was very cloverly rendered. Mr. Gilmore has assembled er in his band the best virtuoso talent that any mi itary band in the World can boast of, and the long, instaking, daily rehearsals, to which ‘they aro sub- jected, have brought forth good fruit, His soloists aro ‘also of the very best kind that can be gelected. Levy rtraituro of melodies on the cornet has a host of ad- iareerk ‘and Sohst is an accomplished barttone singem Other soloists will be introduced in a very short time, But the band itself, as a grand military organization, is the principal featiro. [ts répertoire is gradually ex. tending and ina litde while we may expect a new bill every night THE FAILURE OF A TANNER Pont Jenvis, August 10, 1878 J.
