THE SCLAVE UPRISING. ‘TE INSURRECTION SHOWING SIGNS OF WEAK- NESS—MOVEMENTS OF THE TURKS—THE REBELS WILLING TO NEGOTIATE. [SPECIAL DESPATCH TO THE HERALD BY CABLE. ] Lonpon, Sept. 15, 1875. The Times this morning publishes a special telegram from Vienna, which contains the following:— However contradictory the accounts may be of the recent skirmishes two facts are in- dubitable; first, that the Turks traverse the country in every direction. EXPOSED POSITIONS RELIEVED. Their object is to open communications and relieve and strengthen the more exposed military positions in the southwest. This has been thoroughly done. THE ROADS OPENED. The road to Bilek and Trebigne, and from the latter to the Servian frontier and down to the Suttorina, has been opened and the blockhouses repaired and garrisoned. BLOCKHOUSES OF NO ACCOUNT. So much has been made of the taking and burning of these blockhouses that it may be as well to mention that they are simply well built guardhouses and contain usually a gar- ‘rison of from four to ten men, with a non- commissioned officer, INSURGENTS KEPT TO THE HILLS, The other indubitable fact is that as soon as an insurgent force leaves the mountains, the Turkish forces are at once after it and dispose of it easily if they reach it. WINTER WILL AID THE TURKS, Of course the difficult work remains of dislodging the insurgents from their moun- tainous strongholds, but the approaching winter will soon make those positions un- tenable. As for hopes of assistance they be- come daily fainter. HOPE FROM THE CONSULS, * Circumstances seem to favor the mission of peace of the Consular Commission, INSUBGENTS WILLING TO NEGOTIATE—CESSATION OF HOSTILITIES—FUGITIVES RETURNING. Constantinopie, Sept. 15, 1875. The latest official advices from Herzegovina are satisfactory.

A revolutionary movement took place recently at La Voga, headed by General Juan Gomez Owing to the energetic measures taken by the government tho rising was quelled, und General Gomez took refuge in the woods, BAEZ INTRIGUING. It is affirmed that ex-President Baex, who is residing In Porto Rico, is working hard to bring about a revolu- hon against President Gonzales. It is even asserted tbat the authorities of Porto Rico are giving him a help- ing band, as they are under the impression (instilled by Bacz) that the government of this Republic is assisting the Cubans residing here in their plans against Spanish authority in Cuba, This, however, is false, and the only privilege the Cubans have hero is to write freely, the press being free. PRICE OF TOBACCO, Transactions in tobacco are limited owing to the low prices in Europe. YELLOW FEVER NEAR PENSACOLA, Cixerxnati, Ohio, Sept. 15, 1875. A despatch from New Orleans says:;—In the town of Milton, Fla, nine miles above Pensacola, the entire popu- lation of which consists of fifty-four persons, there are thirty-three cases of yellow fever, eleven of which have been fatal. At West Pascagoula, @ hundred miles from New Orleans, there have bocn seventy cases and fifteen deaths during the past week. DEEP SEA SOUNDINGS.

The precocity. of young Louis, his love for France and his sympathy with the army are also expatiated upon for the purpose of favorably impress- ing the officers. THE PARIS POLICE.

The nephew of Lord Thanet was grossly insulted by the Paris police yesterday. He and his wife and two children were arrested on a charge of picking a woman's pocket in an omnibus. All of them were stripped and indecently examined; but nothing was found on them. The case has been placed in the hands of the British Embassy. SECRETARY DELANO'S RETIREMENT. Wastinaton, Sept. 15, 1875. The retirement of Secretary Delano, it was stated to- day, would not take place till after the Ohio election. ‘The result in Maine, it is understood, has disturbed the President’s calculations, CALIFORNIA FINANCES, PROGRESS OF THE SYNDICATE—THE BIG BOARDS STILL CLOSED—THE BANK OF NEVADA. San Franctsoo, Sept. 15, 1875. The Syndicate of the Bank of California have very nearly completed the work of investigating the affairs of that institution, and is now engaged more especially in measures of organization with a view to resumption. ‘There are still some matters requiring further examina- tion, but they are not of sufficient importance to affect the general result, On account af the favorable responses of the creditors, it is quite probable that the assets will be found sufficient to discharge the indebtod- ness, and, perhaps, pay twenty per cent, or $1,000,000, to the stockholders. The contidence felt by the people at large in the gentlemen composing the syndicate has gone far to bring about this comparatively prosperous State of affairs, and has prevented such an onslaught upon the resources of the bank as would have resulted in # disastrous sacrifice of the assets, and a loss of Several millions to the depositors. ‘The outlook now is very encouraging, and it is be- lieved that with the opening of the Bank of Nevada and renewal of the Bank of California local money affairs will be on an easier basis than for along time revious. Stocks are stiff on the street this morning. ransactions were made in California at 59.25; Ophir went to 50; Best & Belcher sold at 42.50 and Mexican at 19, The brokers generally predict a good market on the opening of the big boards, and are in the best of spirits, The brokers’ excursion to Virginia City was indefl- nitely postponed, at the last moment, on account of the favorable showing of the markets and the opportu- nities offered for private operations. Although it 18 well understood that members of both of the big boards are working indirectly through the little board, no formal resumption of business by either of the big boards is probable until the opening of the Bank of California and the Bank of Nevada SALE OF THE REFINING WORKS. The sale of the San Francisco Assaying and Refining works, also the acid works, under the same manage- ment, ‘was to-day consummated, the purchasers being Flood and O'Brien. These works have been largely under the control of the Bank of California for some time, and have been supplying the mint with fine bullion tor several years, The National Gold Bank and Trust Company had $150,000 coin transferred to-day through the olfice of the sub-Treasurer. Considerable amounts are reported to have arrived, or are close at hand, from New York to the Bank of Cali- nia and the Hibernian Bank. There was a marked improvement in mining stocks to-day, both in the volume of business and the prices realized, There is only one board in session, but the increased business of the California Board will harry up the opening of the other boards, which now expect to resume in two weeks. A small lot of consolidated Virginia gold this morning at $280, Savage and Yel- low Jacket each rose $7 50; Chollar Potosi, $7; Best & Belcher, $3; California, $2'50; Crown Poiht and Mexi- can, each $2; Union’ Consolidated, $1 50; Gould & Curry Imperial and Julia Consolidated, each $1, There was a slight advance in nearly all the other de- scriptions called.

Say Francrsco, Sept. 15, 1875. The Alta and the Ledger this morning and the Post this evening made conspicuous mention of the obliga- tions of California to the Nsw York Hxrauo for having faithfully represented to its world-wide readers a true | statement of the recent troubles on the Pacific.coast. The Ledger says thata journal that has had the princely enterprise to instruct the British government of its own victories in Abyssinia, to hunt up Livingstone in the wilds of Central Africa, to fit out an expedition to the North Pole and to run its own special trains to deliver its issue, at a distance of 3,000 niles ‘one day, ahead of its contemporaries, could not afford to be befogged and bamboozled by the little trickster whom the Associated Press keep at the hoad of their business, and it has given to the people of the East its own fresh and re- liable accounts of what has been transpiring here. The Bank of California will probably open on the 27th, Evorything is moving smoothly toward resumption, I have to-day examined a transcript of the names of the stockholders of the bank taken on the Ist of July, when the last dividend was declared, and taken again on the morning after the bank collapsed, and the net amount is the logal 50,000 shares, There is no over issuc, “CROOKED” WHISKEY MEN. INSPECTION OF THE DISTILLERIES IN SAN FRAN- CISCO-——THE KANSAS CITY MEN PLEADING GUILTY. Sax Fraxcisco, Sept, 15, 1875. Revenue officials were around to-day among tho wholesale liquor houses examining the books, which resulted in finding many instances wherein packages of spirits gauged and reported at ten and twenty gallons each had been thrown upon the market as containing twenty to thirty gallons, Most of these were from the Pacitic Distillery, whose officers were reported yester- day as having made affidavit of the d n of their p to the Ist of Jul ries thus r mado by the revenue oflicers indicate very extensive frauds, in which not only the dealers and distillers, but also the local revenue officers are believed to be impli- cated, Telegrams from the Revenue Department ut Washington received here to-day announce the dis- missal from the service of J.

CHARACTER OF THE DELEGATIONS Sentiment Among the Delegates Regarding the Tammany War, EFFECT OF A HARD MONEY PLATFORM. How Governor Tilden’s Presidential Aspira- tions Are To Be Affected. THE TICKET TO BE NOMINATED. Syracusz, Sept, 15, 1875. The Convention which meets to-morrow will proba- bly be the most largely attended Convention that has beon held inthis State for years, and the crowds of Strangers that are already here are numbered by the hundreds. Every section, indeed almost every town, in the State is represented by its foremost democrats in and out of politics, The rovuit is that all the hotels are crowded to repletion, and even tho ingenuity displayed by the landlords in erecting all the cots and mattresses they could get in the hallways, for the comfort of those unfortunates who have been unable to secure even tho part of a bedroom, has failed to meet the wants of the multitude, and this much to the grat- iftcation of impecunious boarding house keepers gen- erally, who are only too glad of the opportunity af- forded them of making an honest penny by furnishing anight’s lodging to the strangers. Even the New Yorkers, who, as a gencral rule, aro always sharp enough to secure their quarters weeks in advance, have not all been able, as they expected, to obtajp their rooms in the same hotel, and one half of the “regulars” and contestants have been parcelled out in private houses and different hotels to such a degree that they are seldem able to get together for consultation, Not finding‘ elbow room indoors the crowds have resorted to the streets, where, all day long, they have stood on the corners and walked up and down | ship, the main thoroughfares in groups of ten and twenty, only disappearing at meal times, As a consequence the city wears a holiday aspect, and @ stranger, ignorant of the fact that there was to bo @ convention, would naturally be led to believe that there was «county fair being held in the neighborhood or that there was a circus in town and that —_every- body and his brother had been _Invited, free of cost, to come in to take a look at the elephant, | not have to struggle hard to say all they have to say, In fact Syracuse never had such a gathering of politi- cians and politicians’ friends at any one time in her midst, nor, what must be gratifying to the people of steady habits on the fashionable ayenues, a moro orderly or a more respectable looking one. CHARACTER OF THE DELEGATES, It is true that some of the delegates are not exactly what can be called of the créme dela créme of society, but in any political assemblago where good, bad and indifferent constituents alike have the right to send rep- resentatives after their own kind, it cannot be expected that all should be statesmen or renowned for their social standing. But, as @ whole, the delegates are as solid and substantial and respectable appearing a body of men as ever was sent to any convention. The country delegations are especially supcrior to the gen- eral run of men who are sent to conventions when there are little, if any, important issues at stake. Tho democrats seemed to have understood in their district €onventions that the quostions to be decided upon by the Convention to be held to-morrow demanded the presence of the very best representative men possible. This is evidenced by the great majority of really representative men who make up the bulk of the 384 delegates, Not only this, but the men who are not delegates are not of the hanger-on style of politicians or low wire pullers. Even those who bave accompanied the New York and Brgoklyn delegations have but few among them of the vulgar swaggerers and ward bullies, who, under a régime that found their services necessary, Were once upon a time cultivated and courted “for the dangers they had passed through” and had yet to en- counter for the benefit of the party, On the contrary, the great mass of ‘THE OUTSIDERS here to-day are made up of well-to-do farmers and tradesinen and substantial business men of the inte- rior, who are seldoin seen at conventions, and to most of Whom, doubtless, politics is at best a very sorry business. They are an orderly, quiet class, who, seeui- fugly, take a great interest in all that is going on, and who are,apparently anxious that delegates from their fections do what is right which, in their opinion, can only be done by placing in’ the field ane unex- ceptionable ticket, framing a platform upon which all democrats who desire to have the public affairs of the State honestly administered can stand and sustain tho Governor's reform policy to the bitter end. I do not recollect having seen at previous conventions within my experience a gathering of outsiders so intensely in- terested iu the doings of a convention as hundreds who have thus far been attracted to this one. It certainly can be taken as a good sign when representative men leave their homes from every part of the State—though not delegates—to take an active t in the discussion and deliberations ‘with the delegates over the real quostions that will be involved in the cam- paign, It shows that the voters are alive to their in- Leresta, and are determined to have them maintained. It is conjectured that by far the largest portion of tho outsiders from the interior here have come to express, by their presence and counsel, their detesiation of the Canal and other rings that havo been so long robbing them in the State, and to nerve the delegates to do their duty unflinchingly, and the, remarkable absence of the Canal’ Ring leaders and their friends, who — were here, seems to be but one of the good results of the outpour- ing of the democratic taxpayers of the interior, Had these earnest taxpayers stayed away the Canal Ring crowd might bave been on hand and the platform be Jess outspoken than it is likely to be. TAMMANY AND. HER OPPONENTS, ‘Tho various delegations to-day passed their time in comparing views ou the financial question and endeav- oring to come to some conclusion concerning the contest between Tammany and her many foes, The anti-Tam- many men, under the leadership of Morrissey, from the Eleventh; Ledwitu, from the Fifteenth, and Hayes, trom the Third distfict, have been very active, and have rosorted to all sorts of arguments to show that Tam- many, who defeated by overwhelming odds at the polls last November all her opponents, whether they at- tacked her openly as enémies or Secretly as friends, really does not represent the New York city democracy. At ‘their headquarters at the Vanderbilt the anti-Tammany delegations had printed dissertations, for free distribution, in which Mr. John Kelly is held up as a monster of a dictator who will hold his place for life, and ergo, by aid of the Tammany Society, drive the demnucratic party to the dogs. “Well,” said one country delegate from a republican county, after reading the dissertation, “if John Kelly's dictatorship whips the republicans so badly down in New York I'd like a little of it up my way.’ The general opinion of the delegates seoms to be that Tammany has a constituency which tells well for tho stato on every general election, and that the regularity of her delegations, so far as it has been | studied by them, is, with a few technical defects, all that is necessary to entitle her to admission to the Convention, Fully two-thirds of the Convention are | now of this conviction, and it seems that once | more the anti-Tammanyites will have to go | home sadder, if not wiser, men than when they came up here with Andrew H. Green's blessing and 80 full of | hopes and aspirations for big, fat offices in the future, Still they, themselves, as yer, do not acknowledge that they are beaten, and they ‘are determined, if they aro sealped, to go down in the fight shouting their war whoops to the lust gasp. To this end they say they will insist if the report of the Committee on Creden- tials is against them on having it discussed in the Convention, and from alll can learn they will as Tammany’s triends will not attempt to shut them up by moving the previous question, It seems that Sen- aior Lauing, of Buifalo, will take up the cudg- els for thom, and, as he can make an excellent speech, he will doubtless be listened to with interest. ‘The members of the Saratoga delegation will take advantage of their opportunity, too, atter Laning has made his speech, to chatmpion Morrissey, Led- | with and Hayes’ cause, and a vote shutting all the contestants out will close the scene for the day. MR, HIGHLOW'S CANDIDATURK. It is now settled beyond question that the negotia- tions which were begun, long before the republican and | it is believed that the guilty parties will be brought to | account without any further delay than the unearthing of the facts render necessary. ACKNOWLEDGING THE ‘“‘coRN.”” Sr. Louis, Mo,, Sept, 15, 1875. In tho United States District Court at Jefferson City, yesterday, D, Feisseman & Co., rectillers, of Kansas City, charged with violation of the Revenue laws in buying and selling “crooked”? whiskey, withdrow the plea of not guilty and entered a plea of guilty—thus throwing themselves upon the mercy of the govern. ment. John Shehan, of St. Joseph, has done the same, 8 held their Convention at Saratoga, to induce Mr, Bige- low, Chairman of the Governor's Canal Commis. sion, to accept the nomination for etary of | State on the demovratic ticket, have at” last | been successful, He will be nominated to-morrow, and will accept the nomination, When first’ broached yesterday the idea did not seem to take well with many | of the delegates, who objected heading the ticket | with a republican; but tl have got over their scruples since they have been assured that ho was originally ® democrat, and that | he is now heart and soul in favor of tho democratic party as Governor Tilden wants it to be, Indeed, it is said that when the Governor first sug- gested the name of Mr. Bigelow in connection with the Position of Secrotary of State, an allusion was mado by & prominent leader in the party to the fact that he had always been looked upon as @ republican, He re HERALD, THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 16, 1875.--TRIPLE SHEET, plied, “The ticket to be nominated at Syracnse should be a people's ticket, and I would 1ike to see it made a non-partisan one.” ‘This evening, since the delegates have had plenty of time to discuss the proposed nomination among them- selves, the general impression is that the nomination is THK KRY NOTE TO VICTORY, especially as it robs the republicans of any chance of abusing the head of the ticket, inasmuch as they thought so highly of him as to offer him the nomination on their ticket. “It was a subject of much remark to- day, bofore it was generally known that Mr. Bigelow would accept the democratic nomination if offered to him, that the republicans had all of asudden discovered that in refusing the nomination of the republican managers at Saratoga he as his chief reason, t as he bad entered upon the work of the Commission he was bound in good faith to goon with it; that if he were now to accept a nomination for — public ofice it would expose him to suspicion or charge on the part of his enemies of having sought or availed himself of his position and opportunity for the purpose of promoting his own personal interests, and his sense of honor would not permit him to be placed in any such situation, This kind of talk was surely a weak effort to convince the democrats that Mr. Bigelow would not accept their proferred honor, for the same reasons he had given the republicans for declining theirs must naturally hold good in case of the — prof- fer of the democrats, It now turns — out that Mr, Bigelow had no consultation—as one of the local papers hero alleges he. bad—with the republicans as to whether he should accept or decline their nom- ination, and 80, as he gave no reasons why he declined, it is hard to see why he cannot, without offending hid “sense of honor,” accept the democratic nomina- tion, The fact of the matter is, as I have have already intimated in previous despatches, that it was the democrats who first offered Mr, Bigelow the nomination on their ticket, and it was the knowledge of this fact which inade the republicans go the length Y did to thwart the democrats in their purpose; and now that he ts, after all, to be the head of the ticket opposed to them they know not what way to turn, TH CONTEST OR NOMINATIONS. The contest of individuals for places ou the ticket has been gradually narrowed down this evening to the strongest mon, and at one time it did seem. as though Jumes Mackin, of Dutchess, would finally bear off the prize’ of the State ‘Treasurer- as he developed considerable strength among the delegates during the day; but the candi- cuies will in all probability be as follows, the first four being certain, although there is some 'talk of Mr. McElroy, of Brooklyn, who constructed the Brooklyn Water Works, for State Engineer :— For Secretary of State—Jobn W. Bigelow, For Comptroler—Lucius Robinson. For State Treasurer—Charles N. Ross. For Attorney General—Charles 3, Fairchild, ber, Slate Bngincer and Surveyor—Jonn D, uren, For Canal Commissioner—D. O, Salmon. For Inspector State Prisons—Zenas U. Priest. THY PLATFORM, ‘There is a good deal of growling among delegates at the settled determination of the party leaders to have an out-and-out hard money platform adopted by the Convention, Independently of their private views on the financial question they do not hke to see the New York democracy place itself in such direct antagonism with the party in Ohio and Pennsylvania, and fear the effect that it will have on party success in those States, They would prefer a trimming policy at this jancture and the adoption of a plank shat would be meaningless or else an utter ignor- ing of the question, An effort will undoubtedly be ade to modify the resolutions on this subject that will be reported from the commitiee; but it is not hkely to succeed, All admit that the democratic party of this State could not consistently back square down from tne position they took last year; but a majority think that the issue had better be avoided or slurred over, just at this time, to await future development. The bold assurance of the Western inilationist appears to have demoralized many men of the hard money demo- crats of the East, and’ they assume it to be a settled thing that the entire West and South will be nearly unanimous for inflation in the Presidential contest next year, Van THR ENEMIES OF GOVERNOR TILDEN in his own party, whether inflationists or hard’money men, are chuckling over what they deem to be the cer- tain ruin of his Presidential prospects by the action of the Convention to-inorrow, and they poll declare that their favorite, Chief Justice Church, will be the only democrat from New York who will stand any show be- fore the National Convention next year. iden, they say, has thus unconsciously played into’ the hands of his rival, and done for him what he was unablo to do for himself! When asked how Judge Church stands on the financial question they say it makes no difference; he is in a position to watch the course of events and take advantage of the popular current next year whether it shall be for or against inflation, whereas Governor Tilden, by foremg a hard mouey platiorm upon the party at this juncture, will gain the ill will of the democracy of Ohio and Penn- sylvania, whose success he jeopardizes at the coming elections, and who will not forget it im the next Presidential Convention, even though his finan- cial views should become more generally received than they now are, In this way the anti-Tilden delegates take comfort to themselves and sugar-coat the bitter pill that “Uncle Sammy” compels them to swal- low. For the rest the platforin will be of comparatively little interest. It will indorse, tothe fullest extent, the Governor's canal reform, asa matter of course, and without opposition from any quarter. The feat of Dearding thy lion in his den by holding the Convention in Syracuse is not likely to prove a very perilous un- dertaking after all. THE CANAL RING that was suppored to centre here has shown no signs of life thus far, Jarvis Lord is said to be sick; at any rate he is not to be here, neither is Delos Dewolf, of Oswego, although both are members of the State ‘Committee, Dr. Denison resides here but appears to be more inter- ested in his onion patch than in the Convention. Wil- lard Johnson, of Oswego, is the only one of the Ring affected by the Governor's commission who has put in an appearance, and he claims to be an original supporter of Tilden ‘and reform, Thero is a good deal of comment this evening over the sly cun- ning of Uncle Sammy in pushing his famous Canal Commission so prominently to tho front. It 1s said that he has persuaded Bigelow, the chairman of the Commission, to accept the nomination at the head of the ticket. and since the withdrawal of Horatio Seymour, Jr., as candidate for Engieer he has put forward John D. Van Buren, Jr., another member of the Commission, for the [cone Not content with this he insists that Daniel Magone, Jr., shall.be temporary chairman of the Con- vention, thus bringing to the front three out of four membors of the Commission whose labors have helped him to so much of his popularity, There are some who are bold enough to intimate that he is crowding the mourners, and to suggest the possibility of a revolt, Especially there dissatisfaction at the idea of having John Bigelow, a republican, head democratic ticket. If’ he had even been liberal republican it would not be quite so bad, they say; but to take a man who has never so fur as known been anything but a regular republican since the party was founded they think is asking rather too much. There is a prospect of a lively opposition to the nom- ination of Bigelow should it be pressed, and some be evidence — will demanded that he makes or has made for years past any pretensions to being democrat It is reported that some delegate is here who is prepared to vouch for the fact that he voted the democratic ticket last fall, and this may, perhaps, prove satisfactory. The indig- nation of republicans hereabouts at the idea of Bigelow accepting a democratic nomination after declining theirs is very flerca, They if he put bis declination of the republican offer on such grounds as would pre- clude any gentioman or honest man from accepting a nomination at the hands of their opponents, REINPORCEMENTS ARRIVE, There were a large number of additional arrivals to- night, and the early trains to-morrow morning are ex- pected to bring an immense crowd.

The Convention will meet at noon to-day, and the general impression is that it will take two days to complete its business. The Brooklyn delegation held a meeting this evening, and passed resolutions indorsing Tilden’s administration, and instructing the members | who may be placed on the Committee on Resolutions to go fora strong hard money platform. The delega- tion are understood to be unanimous for Tammany in its contest with Morrissey and the other anti- Tammany delegates, As the chances for admission of the anti-Tammanyites grow less they grow more desperate, and are voluble in their threats. They offer to bet that if they are excluded Tammany won't elect a single candidate in New York in vember, and they say they will extend their organization turough- ont the State on a platform in sympathy with the Western democracy, and will send @ delegation to the next National Convention to coutest with the Tilden delegation the right of admission. They think they detect the hand of Tilden in the general opposition they meet bere, although he claims to stand peutral. THE ORGANIZATION, The State Committee held « meeting at their rooms in the Vanderbilt House to-night and agreed upon Daniel Magone for temporary chairman and E. 0. Perrin, of Queens, and E. J. Clark, of Jefferson, for secretaries, The preliminary action of the State Committee indicates that none of the contesting dele- gations will be admitted to seats injthe Convention. Those only elected under calls issued by the regular organizations will be admitted. MAINE ELECTION. Avausra, Sept. 15, 1875.

Eight members paired off A resolu- tion for adjournment sine die was vigorously pressed, and would have been carried at one time but for WoodGn, republican, voting in the negative because he desired to have the Robeson controversy first determined.

CHARLES FRANCIS ADAMS, CONSIDERS HIMSELF MORE USEFUL IN WRITING HISTORY THAN IN RUNNING FOR THE PRESI- DENCY, [From the Brooklyn Times, Sept. 15.] In an editorial, alluding to the Hon. Charles Francis Adams, we said:—‘‘We have hopes that an aroused public spirit will find some way of making itself potent in the nominating convention next year, and that Mr. Adams may be called from his retirement at Quincy to restore to the Presidency its ancient dignity and legis- lative influence.” One of our readers, who is friendly to Mr. Adams, sent him the article, calling his attention to the suggestion, and received in reply the letter which we herewith print: Quixcy, Sept. 5, 1875. Mr Dgar Sm—I cannot but be deeply moved by the voluntary expressions of esteem which I occasionally find in the newspapers in reference to myself. I trust they may not have the effect of turning my head or making me think of myself botter than I ought to ink, With rogard to the suggestion made in the article to which you call my attention, I am sure that it would be very agreeable to me to undertake the work. But I have, I fear, already on my hands quite as much as I can dare hope to accomplish during my term of life. Approaching so near to the ‘‘threescore and ten’ pre- scribed as the limit of usefulness as Ido I shall havo to make haste or run a great risk of leaving matters in confusion. It is for this reason that Lhave been, per- haps, too indifferent to the wishes of many who have desired to have me called again into public life. I see nothing there Just now which promises happy results within ashort time. Meanwhile I am. steadily releas- ing myself from the responsibility, if not of writing his- tory, at least of putting out of the reach of accident the valuable materials for writing it which have been placed in my hands, or which I have myself gathered in my own career. I doubt whether I could be inade more useful to the world in any othr way. Pray excuse me for this egotism, and believe me, very truly yours, CHARLES FRANCIS ADAMS, THEODORE TILTON TALKS. THE PROBLEM OF LIFE AND HOW IT IS TO BE SOLVED—TILTON ON THE PULPIT AND ITS LYING OCCUPANTS—A DASH AT SOCIETY FOR ITS CONDUCT TOWARD FALLEN WOMEN. Port Jervis Devo, Sept. 15, 1875. Theodore Tilton delivered his lecture—“‘The Problem of Life’—in the Opera House in this city this evening. As it was the first time that the great prosecutor had appeared before an audience since the trial a large and re- markably intelligent audience assembled to listen to the lecture. Tilton’s appearance is somewhat changed since he was here three years ago, and he looked much older. The audience seemed in sympathy with the speaker, especially when he indirectly made some allusions which were easily construed to refer to his late trial. At such times he was loudly applauded. Mr. Tilton stated that he supposed that every man who has had any experience in the world has asked himself what is the “problem of life.’? It does not mean simply Huxley's inquiry into the origin of life. It is something deeper than this, His inquiry 1s an old one, Mine is old, Solomon. Job and the wisest and best men of old grasped the subject, but could not answer it. “So I will not,” says the speaker, “attempt to settle the question. I only discuss it Many say this is a bad world, That is a lie, When God said it is good it is folly in men to say it is ill The world is what wo make it, hero is a spirit of good and of bad in every nature, and all depends upon that which is exercised. We hear men spoken’of as possessing a good character. Now, of all these men, how many pos- sess pure cardinal virtues, and how many virtues ought ‘@ man possess to be pure and upright ? TILTON ON THE PULPIT. The pulpit is polluted by false religion, and vice, under the guise of virtuo, stalks abroad in our land, People lie in preference to uttering the truth, The politician Hes to his constituents, the preacher to his congregation, the laborer to his master, the master to his laborer, the child to its pa- rents and parents to children. Men dare not tell the truth, and yet we call this a Christian country. Many people live a lie, How many ladies dare dress finer than fashion dictates? When Harvey discovered the circulation of the blood scarcely a man over forty years old dare admit that he believed in the truth of the dis- covery, and yet tt is easy to tell the truth, The prob- lem of life can never be solved until men dare be true and virtuous, The speaker cited instances which should be imitated. He did not believe the past so much better than the presont, but there was purity and truth in the past which should be imitated to-day, Who you that believe tho system of trial jury dare be honest and say so? js a country in which it costs a man his repu- tation to be honest; there is too much striving for popularity. To-day over the grave of Jofforson thero ts no allusion in the inscription to his having been a Pres- ident. How different the simplicity then from tho Pomp now, when we cry for a third term and live but r office,’ There was a day when woman was con- sidered to have no soul, when she was regarded as the incarnation of sin. Today it is better, it is trae, but let a woman become tainted by improper imn- timacy with this or that man and ‘she js un- doubtedly ostracized and despised, while her destroyer goes free ana is honored. Tho prob- lem of life requires a different state of aftr, and in this respect woman must make tho tnitta movegneut; she must require men to be as virtuous, delicdte, a5 noble as men require women to be. This will help settle the question of the “problem of life." Some think the world ts all there is, while others think the next world 18 all, and, so believing, go out of existence. I believe ‘both are wrong. Let us do the best we can hero, be honest, virtuous, true, and we shail be pre- red for the next world, and then will the problem of ite be sol closed his remarks at precisely ten o'clock, T on the samo sulject.
