This has sustained the market, in spite of heavy arri- vals of foreign wheat! The British wheat so far brought to market has not becn of good quality, There is not | much that is new to report about the condition of the | trade abroad. Harvests will generally be three per cent below a fine yield; but with old stocks to draw on there | can be nothing approaching a scarcity, and a moderate advance on last season’s prices is Ukely to secure us an abundance, Tho improved feeling recently manifested in the Sugar market has subsided, and several parcels have been withdrawn from the public sales on account of re- duced offers. | FRANCE.

A GREAT WAREHOUSE BURNED, ESA GEREN Loxpow, August 21, 1875. \ POLITICAL EXPERIME The «National Union Party” of Massa- chusetts Meet in Boston. PEACE, PURITY AND PATRIOTISM. General Banks Invited to Lead the Movement. A PLATFORM OF PLATITUDES, | Bosrox, August 21, 1876. At the time when General Banks was re-elected to Congress from the Fifth district a strong desire was felt by bis friends to have bis name presented in the next Prosidential campaign, a desire which has been felt to some extent in the South and West, as weil as in Now | England. The desire led to a movement, which was inaugurated at that time, Communications were sub- sequently received from influential men in Southern and Western States, who favored the organization of a | party based upon a platform which has been epitomized thus:— i The issues of the war are past and reconciliation is a fact. Let the curreney alone, build up the eredit of | the nation yintil its notes are worth dollar for | dollar, put honest men in office, save the mill. | fons now being stolen, and pay olf the national debt,” | These and others pledged their hearty support to the | movement, recognizing in General Banks an earnest | advocate and supporter of these principles. The movement received a fresh impetus at the Bunker | Hill Centennial celebration, when, it will be remembered, sented the Fifth Maryland regiment with a stand of colors on the Common, Upon the return of the regi- many of whom served in the Confederate armies, but have since become loyal citizens, expressed hearty sym pathy with the effort. A committee was: then organized in this city, with Colonel Russell H. Conwell as president and Charles W. Thompson as secretary, and a small circular, presenting the names of Banks and Lamar as candidates for the offices of I’resi- dont and Vice President in 1876, was sent throughout the country. Campaign clubs were organized in this and other States, In this city clubs have been formed ineix wards, ineluding Charlestown, Boston, and in the towns of Melrose, Wakefield, Spring- field, New Bedford, Pittstield, Stoneham, Woburn, | Huntington, Chelsea, Cambridge, Newton, Lynn, Ar- lington, Saugus and other places. It was thought best by the committee that the movement should not be iade public until it had gained sufficient strength to warrant a hope of suecess, and with — this cid in view. the proceedings thus far have been private. Some time since it. was decided to hold a meeting in this city for consultation, and invita- tions were sent out to the different clubs in this State to send delegates to meet at the Parker House to-day, ‘The object of the meeting, it was announced, would be the organization of a State Central Committee, the con- sideration ofa platform and such other business as would naturally come before it. Tho object of the party is not to secure the, election of GenoralBanks, but, as one of the managers expressed it to: “to elect the best man we can get.’? The original idea has been thrown aside, and, as the party bas increased in numbers and influence, the managers, ng that unity can only be secured by perfect freedom, announce their determination to act in an unbiassed manner to aid in the selection of candidates who shall be accepta- ble to the greatest number. THE PROCEEDINGS. In response to the invitation a considerable number of delegates assembled in room 12 at the Parker House at two o'clock. The meeting was called to order by Colonel Conwell, and upon motion of Mr, Campbell he was chosen temporary chairman and Charles Thompson 80 ry Colonel Conwell, ina brief gpeech, explained the object of the meeting and the causes which had led to the desire to see a new party organized. The desire felt in the South and in the West, and there was a decided need that a new organization should be felt in American politics, The movement, if successful, would be the beginning of a good reform; if unsuccess- ful, it would only be hke hundreds of other movements which were sincere and earnest, The speaker felt that the movement was a grand one, even though derided by newspapers and ridiculed by’ politicians. The latter would not connect themselves to the new party because they had much to lose. But the people, he thought, had much to gain. ‘A committee of nine was appointed by the Chair to nominate a list of permanent officers, and retired to consult. The Chair then appointed a committee of five on resolutions, which also retired. AN INVITATION TO GENERAL BANKS. Colonel Conwell then stated that it had been deomed expedient by the committee to ask General Banks to bo present at the meeting, and read the following letter to General Banks S00 tempd Boston, August 20, 1875. To Hon. NP.

John Gordon, a Black Hills miner, who was brought bere some weeks ago, by order of the Court, for a hear- Ing on a writ of habeas corpus, was released on parole this morning. He, with his lawyer, appeared at the office of General Ruggles, Adjutant General, Depart- ment of the Platte, surrendered his parole, and then, by direction of his counsel, attempted to escape. The General immediately ordered his clerks and orderlies, who are enlisted men, to arrest him; but Gordon offered the most emphatic resistance, and in this was assisted by his lawyer. He was, however, arrested and taken to Omaha Barracks, where he is confined iu the guardhouse, Stnce the above occurrence he has had General Ruggles arrested for false imprisonment, also the General and his clerks for assault and battery. The trial of the cases is set down for Wednesday next, THE RIO BRAVO AFLOAT. WASmxGTON, August 21, 1875, Lieutenant Commander Kells, of the steamer Rio Bravo, has succeeded in getting that vessel afloat, and has carried her into Sabine Pass, Texas.

CLOSING SESSION--WILD SCHEMES FOR THE FU- TURE GOVERNMENT OF THE NEGRO DEYEATED— A LABORING MEN'S AND .MECHANICS’ UNION FORMED. Ricumoyn, Va,, August 21, 1875. After a three days’ stormy and disorderly session tho exclusively colored convention brought its labors to what can scarcely bo termed a satisfuetory termination to-day. The wildest schemes were introduced for the future government of the negro race, on a strics basis of color, but nearly all of these were happily defeated, | and in an address, which was adopted, some moderation and conservatism were manifested, Resolutions wore adopted looking to the formation of aunion, to be known as “The Laboring Men's and Me- chanics’ Union.” The union shall have for its objects economy, teaching of confidence in eagh other, the adoption of some plan by which woman can receive a fair compensation for a day’s labor, the baying of lands and the teaching of fidelity to the party that looks to the protection of the fullest rights to the colored man, The State finances next came in for consideration and discussion ina manner that evinced neither statesman. sh ip nor patriotism. * The Convention wound up by the adoption of an ad- dress to the people of Virginia and the American nation, whieh after charging that the controlling the whites, are arrayed — against the interests of both races’ on to state that “local self-government is virtually destroyed in some portions of onr State, and.in the words of Mr, Jefferson, absolute acquiescence in the decisions of majorities constituting the vital principle of repnblics, from which there is no appeal, Is almost wholly disregarded.” CANAL COMMISSION. THE CONCLUSION OF THE EXAMINATION OF MR. VAN R. RICHMOND—SOME VERY DAMAGING AD~ MISSIONS. Aunaxy, August 21, 1875, The examination of Van R, Richmond was concluded before the Canal Investigating Commission to-day. He identified the argo map of the enlargement of the Erle Canal as the one which was on file at the Auditor's oftco during the sitting of the Board in 1869, when the Denison Port Schuyler contract was let, The resolution of the Commissioners relative to the letting of the contracts mentioned maps, &e., and he considered it almost im- possible that there should have been none of any kind. Mr. Magone—Does the map here exhibited indicate any sections, outlines, quantities or measurements by which the line of the canal could be changed ? Tho witness replied that itdid not; he did not know whether the canal had been straightened or not, nor whether any changes had been made in the contract in question; no map that he knew of would indicate such changes; no surveys or measurements of the work were presented to him at the time of the letting, except detailed astimates, which upon examination proved to be statements of quantities suflicient to absorb the appropriation, with no reference to location. At the time of the letting he supposed that all the requirements of the law had been complied with, He believed’ that when any change of the line of the canal was to be ma it was the duty of the Division Engineer to prepare maps and surveys of such changes, and from the fiet that detailed estimates of some sort were presented he naturally supposed that the maps were there, But he is now satistied, from the evidence before the Commission, that there was no such survey or map as the law required before the Board, He would not be able fromthe nmap to find where the charges were made, nor to ascertain the “quantities of work done. He believed now, from an examination of the canal maps, that the straightening of the canal on that work ‘Was positively disadvant 5 The witness was asked if any maps, plans or esti- mates, such as the law required, had been submitted to him prior to the letting of the contracts to Charles P.

He was asked if he was aware that the Governor had stricken out of the Appropriation bill, this spring, numerous items for dredging, because no soundings of maps of the works were to be found at the State En- gincer’s office, by which any misapplication of the money could be detected, —_ He replied that he Was aware that the Governor had stricken them out, and very properly, though he did eet the reason, The examination was then con- cluded, CANAL ENGINEERS DISMISSED. The following circular has been sent to the various subordinate engineers on the Eastern division of the Erie Canal:— Sin—At a meeting of the Canal Board held on the 17th inst., the resident and division engineers on the Eastern di- vision were suspended, and notified to show cause why they should not be removed from office.

At ten minutes after three o'clock the Hopkins, with her joyous and expectant passengers, swang clear from her moorings and started down the bay toward the Nar- rows. On the way down the ‘party passed several steamers and other craft, all, of which Inted the Hopkins and had the compliment return Just before starting, ral Knox received the fol- lowing telegram from General H.

Dr, Van- derpool, who was expectod, sent an apology on tho score of business to excuse his absence from the festivi- tes. F After a pleasant trip down the Lower Bay the steamer reached Sandy Noox pier a little after ftve o'clock, and almost immediately after a message was received from the lookout on the Highlands to the eflect that the steamship City of Berlin was outside the bar, This news set everybody on a quiver of excitement, and all was bustic on board the Hopkins. Ina very few minutes more the steamer was moving swiftly down the channel and on her way round the Hook, every eye on board being strained to catch a glimpee of the steam- ship which carried the victors at Dollymount. Upon rounding the point the superb proportions of the great ship City of Berlin was seen coming up under easy steam, heading up toward the inner bay. Her decks could be seen covered with a moving mass of hu- man beings peering over the bulwarks. Near the Berlin was seen the Heratp yacht and the litte steamer Sen- eca, She was just abreast of the Sandy’ Hook fort when the Hopkins bore down toward her, THE FIRST SPEECH OF THE DAY. Shortly after the City of Berlin was sighted the Brooklyn delegation met togetber in the committee room on board the Hopkins, when General Husted was called upon for a speech, who spoke as follows: GENTLEMEN OF THE BROOKLYN DeLEGATION—I do not propose to make a speech; in fact, 1 am not a speech maker; Lam more qualilied to rise to a point of order.

(Deatening cheers.) entletnan with a powerful voice called for eors forthe Bald-headed Eagle of Westchester which were Instily given, when Genera Husted jocosely replied, “Yes, gentlemen, I have be- come bald headed with hard work.” (Cheers and laughter.) Quartermaster Sullivan then called for three cheers for Colonel Bodine, which wero given with deafening ener THE FIRST WELCOME. When the reception boat reached within 400 or 500 yards of the ocean steamer cheers were sent up from the former, amid waving of hats and handkerchiefs These signals were recognized and returned by those on board the City of Berlin, Up to this time the English colors were hoisted on the bows of the Hopkins. Shouts now went up from various parts of the committee boat to run up the Ameriean colors, The Hopkins fired a galnte from her solitary bat lond mouttsed yun and the Governor's Island band struck up the “Star Spangled Banner.” The Berlin moved majestically past the re- coption steamer, leaving her in the swell of her wake, The Hopkins followed as best she could amid shouts from the officers of “Move to the other side; trim the hij These commands were totally disobeyed by the ex- cited crowd on deck, who disregarded everything else oxcepting the best method of catching a glimpse of the individuals composing America’s famonssrifle team.

Brooklynites are naturally proud of anything and everything that is conducive to the glory of her citi- yous and her municipality, In this eyele of slander aud abuse more especially is the City of Churehes, which has been, whether justly or unjustly, under- going much vituperation, prod of that which tends to her aggrandizement. In the possession of an old rest- dent of their city In the world-renowned rifle team they plume themselves not a little Hence it is that for a month pust the leading officers and men of the Second division, Nationa! Grard, of which General Dakin is Major General, ‘have been discussing the ways and means of best’ showing their admiration of his un- surpassed efforts iu getting in shots in bull's eyes on the targots of the Old World at long range, It was at first proposed by several of the staff oificers that there should be a parade in honor of the General. The parade, after repeated disenssions, was abandoned, how- ever, for the reason that the rank and file will be called upon for inspection, parade and review three days in the fall, which is now near at hand, It is also known that General Dakin would oppose a parade for his spe- cial honor, in view of the fact that it would inconveni- ence a large body of business men. who could not aiford to lose so much tine, A banquet was then the method chosen of giving vent to their feelings of regard, and it was decided that civilians should take part in the entertainment, ‘The officers chose from among their numbers, as executive com- mittee on the banquet, Colonel MeLeer, Lieutenant Colonel Schurig, Captain’ A. R. Samuels ‘and Captain Valentine. These gentlemen have secured the Assem- bly Rooms of the Academy of Music. for the occasion, lit is decided that on next Wednesday evening, at eight o'clock, there will be such a “feast of reason and flow of sont’ m the Academy as shall testify their ad- miration for their townsman, Officers will’ appear in uniform.

STARTLING DEVELOPMENTS—MORE LIGHT AS TO THE SILK BURGLARY—ARREST OF THE SON OF JUDGE FISHER—SCHNEIDER RELEASED ON BAD. Wasmixarox, August 21, 1875, In June last the large dry goods store of Perry & Brother, on Pennsylvania avenue, was robbed on San- day ernoon of $6,900 worth of silks and laces, The store was in the most frequented locality, and the detectives at once sought a clew to the robbers, tracing the property and one of the burglars to Baltimore. Two-thirds of the goods were recovered, Aparty who gave the name of Schneider was arrested and identified as having’ been seen lounging in the local- ity of the store on the day of the robbery. ‘The boldness of the theft, in connection with the fact that the senior member of the firm — is an old resident of the city, one of the memorialists ta connection with the District investi on, and had been as much an object of persecution ax Columbus Alexan der, upon whom the District Ring attempted to fasten collusion in tho well known safe burglary robbery, ¢ cited the attention of the merchants, who were free in the expression of the opinion that this was another desperate effort to put oquy upon a firm that had by its integrity helpod to encourage the Congressional investigation, The prompt action of the detectives did not lessen the suspicion in the minds of tho Perry Brothers, who immediately removed thetr valuable ailks to New York, and announced that they would no longer keep on hand duplicate patterns, A SAVE BURGLARY DEVELOPMENT, The sequel of the rebbery ix a repetition of the safe burglary, When Sebnoider was lodged in jail he sent for Richard Harrington, who, in the capacity of Ae. sistant United States District Attorney, had cansed the «of Benton, of New York, the party apprehended the District Attorney's safe, and on the steps of Mr. Aloxander’s honse, was found the books and papers that were = to destroy Alexander's influence before the Congressional Committee, It will be remembered that the bail accepted for Benton was re for blowing open in whose possession, | of the skin fs infinitely pre! | hitherto 7 | Harrington resigned and a son of Judge Fisher nominally filled his place. It was to the son all the blame of his father's disgrace was attached and the Judge thereby forced to resign. RELEASE OF SCHNEIDER. Yosterday Assistant United States Attorney Charles G. Fisher sent a note to the Clerk of the Criminal Court to the effect that bail in the sum of $3,000 would be re- garded in the case of Schneider as sufiicient, Bail was accepted and the prisoner discharged. The report is that young Fisher, with the released pris oner, went to Baltimore to dispose of the goods not re- covered by the police, of which he was to receive a share, and was also to receive $900 for his services in effecting the release, Judge Fisher disclaims any knowledge of the trans- action, as he also did in the release of Benton through the intervention of Harrington, and many of the citizens of Washington who condemn bis course in the Benton matter are disposed to sympa- thize with the Judge, as the misfortune which has now befallen him comes like the blow which wounded the feelings of the late United States Treasurer, who waa defrauded by a young man whom he had put in office and had known from childhood. Young Fisher hae been arrested, aud the accomplices in the transaction, it is said, will be brought to justice. THE DIRECT CABLE, ‘The managers of the Direct United States Cable Com pany, at No, 16 Broad street, make the following state- ment of the condition of the new line, as given in thetr Intest London advices :— The Faraday went out in April to complete the laying of the cable, “It started somewhat too early, but when the ice cleared away it laid its cable, and messages were transmitted between New York and the office in Lon- don at a speed of about twelve words per minute, There was, however, a trifling defect in the insulation about 250 miles from Newfoundland, A like defect exists in the French cable of the Anglo Company, and 1s rather a theoretical than a practical fault, for it does not in- terfere with the transmission of messages, and, curi- ously enough, rather increases the speed of transmis sion. The Faraday was, however, ordered on her return voyage to ent out this defect. She therefore broke the cable in two places, se] ed about thirty-five miles from each other. On breaking the Irish last Saturday week, she called attention to the fact that she had only fifty miles of surplus cable on board, and that while fity miles ought to be enough, even with slack, to lay thirty-five miles, yet that it might perhaps be safer to have’ more, The company had about seventy moro miles in London; and after soine discussion between the ship and the oifice, through the cable, 1t was deter- mined that she should return te England to take in these seventy miles, She will at once start sata to the, Her business will be to take up the Irish end, to spire it to the cable on board, to run out thirty-five miles of cable, and then to effect the tinal splice to the American end in shallow water There is no reasonable doubt, therefore, that the cable of the company will be opem for public traifie in a few weeks.
