ANTI-TAMMANY. The Democratic Revolters’ County Convention, HACKETT FOR RECORDER. een “His Highness John Kelly” Arraigned. Mee SESS PHELPS FOR DISTRICT ATTORNEY. ‘The Anti-Tammany County Convention assembled ‘at Irving Hall last evening. The large room was filled to ite fullest capacity. A force of police was ‘on hand at the entrances to keep order and the delegates began to asseinble as carly as seven o'clock, The tickets of delegates were scanned closely by officials and none were admitted but those im possession of the requisite pieces of pasteboard, Among those present were Police Justice B.{H. Bixby, James M. Bixby, Rufus F.jAndrews- James Hayes, D. T. McMahon, ex-Sheriff O’Brien, ex, Assemblyman Burns, ex-Alderman Shannon, Charles A. Swan, Colonel Drake de Kay, Joseph A, Monheimer, ex-Alderman Rovinson and Q’Donovan Rossa At eight o’clock the meeting was called to order by Mr. Emanuel B. Hart, who suggested the name of Hon, Ira Shafer for President of the Convention, Mr. Smaver, in taking the chair, returned thanks for the honor conferred upon him. | He hoped the Conven- tion would so conduct its proceedings as to let the people of the city know they were in earnest in desir- ing to overthrow the ‘‘one-man power.” He wished the Convention to carry on its business with the same discipline as that presented at the meeting presided éver by His Imperial Highness John Kelly, (Cheers and laughter.) ‘ ‘The following secretaries of the Convention were then clected;—Messrs. J. R. Conklin, Frank Ransom, ©. M. Graham and John Oakley. The credentials of the different delegations were here handed to the Chairman and properly authenticated. PRELIMINARY SKIRMISEES. The Paxstpenr ordered the secretary to call the chair- man of each delegation, to ascertain those prosenty Mr. Sorenpo moved that the namo of each delegate be called, but the motion was immediately laid upon the table, At the call of Senator O’Brien, Emanuel B. Hart and Dennis McMahon there was loud stamping of feet. Mr. Emanuel B, Hart, as chairman of the Execu- tive Committee, moved that the chairman of each dele- gation be called to name candidates, and that these candidates be considered and reported upon by a “ro- tiring committee’? composed of one from each Assom- bly district and one from the Twenty-third and Twenty- fourth districts, A resolution was then passed that the chairman of each delegation cast the vote of the latter, and that a commitjee of three be appointed to draft resolutions, A BELLIGERENT DELEGATE. Ex-Judge Hartman claimed that he had just gs @ right to vote for a candidate as the chairman of the delegation, He was called to order loudly, but with his thundering voice drowned all the cries of ‘Order!’? “L say, sir,” said he, “that this must not be a gag law convention. I stand here on my right asa dele; If you want to break up this you can gg it. ‘This is a little Tammany Hall!” Loud cries finally in- duced the gentleman to sit down, but he still kept growling, “This isa little Tammany Hall!” The call of districts was then begun. The first office ‘voted for was that of Judge of the Superior Court. The First district gave its vote for Charles C. Sandford, and the name was with great applause. The’ vote for Mr. Sanditord was almost unanimous, the Twenty-third district alone voting for Bernard Roelker. The second vote was for Judge of the Court of Com- mon Pleas, and all districts voted for Benjamin F. Dunning until the Twelfth district was called. The Twelfth, Eighteenth, Twentieth, Twenty-first, Twenty- third and Twenty-fourth districts then voted tor Den- mis McMahon, and the First district then changed its vote in favor of McMahon, The third vote was for Surrogate, and when the First district cast its vote for Robert C. Hutchins, the pres- ent incumbent, there was considerable applause. A good many of the delegations seemed to be divided be- tween Robert.C. Hutchins and William C. Traphagen. For County Judge all districts, with the exception of the Seventh, voted for Henry’ A. Gildersleeve, the chairman of the Second district denominating him the oe American shooter.” The Seventh voted for jomas J, Creamer, but the vote was subsequently withdrawn in favor of the great marksman. When the chairman announced that the Record ‘was to be voted for there was a loud = seams vent anxtety. Everybody seemed to fet! that the most tant moment had arrived. The secretary called the ‘irst district, but before the chairman of the latter had time to respond a motion was made that John K. Hackett be nominated by acclamation. A PERFEOT WHIRLWIND OF CARERS greeted the name. The chairman declared that the motion was out of order and it was promptly with- drawn. ‘The First district casts #s vote, in the words of the chairman, ‘for John K. Hackett, our upright and fear. less Judge,” which elicited another outburst of popular applause. The chairman of the Ninth district said that he cast his vote “for the man who was true to tho people, against all the threatS and blandishments of many Hall, John K, Hackett.’” (Lond applause). For District Attorney the vote was all but unani- mous. All the districts, with the exception of the Four- teenth een cast its vote for Charles W. Brooks), an- nounced Benjamin K. Phelps as the man of their * choice. The votes for Marine Court Judges were unanimous for Joseph C. Koch and James B. Sheridan, and for Coroner, all but ‘three districts voted for Moritz Ellinger, The Twenty-second, Twenw-third Twenty-fourth voted for ex-Judge Hartman, good-natured laughter. dates was carried on with remarkable rapidity and with scarcely a minutes’ delay. ‘opinion, was noticeable, and the whole work only occu- amid ~ pied half an hour, The Convention next proceeded to the consideration of candidates for Aldermen-at-Large, Several names were mentioned, among them rs. D. P. Conyng- ham, Thomas Costigan and Adam Klamroth A committes was noxt appointed of one from each Assembly district to retire and report upon all the nominees to the Convention. A recess of ten minutes was taken for the purpose of se- lecting this committee, After this work had been a complished and the committee annotinced, another f9- cess was taken for fiiteen minutes. This recess was lengthened out over an hour, it being eleven o’clock when the committee returned. In the meanwhile the Convention amused itself with conversation, stamping of feet, cheers and other pastimes, A short time be- fore the committee came back MR. RUFUS ¥, ANDREWS was loudly called for. He spoke as follows :— “I congratulate the great people of New York upon the harmonious disposition shown by this very large convention. It must have been that the democratic Barty as represented by you was confident of success, it would not “have been so strong here. I should like ~ to gee this body of men compared to any body of men _ that John Kelly can boast from among the thieves and mur- derers who form a portion of the Tammany Hall party. (Loud applause.) ‘The committee aro here now ready to Feport. he committee then came in and presented the fol- lowing nominations, which were received with great enthusiasm ;— THE NoMINATIO: er Judge ¥ the Superior Court F, Sanford. or Judge of the Common Pleas—Dennis Me. Fe detgon of to ane nis McMahon. James B. Sheridan, For Coroner—Morris Erlinger. For Recorder—Jobn K. Hackett, For District Attor Benjamin K. Phelps. For Surrogate—William C. Traphagen, For Aldermen at Large—Nathaniel Turponny, D, P. Conyngham and Adam Klamroth. ss For County Judge—H. A. Gildersleove, MR, IRA SCLAVER then addressed the Convention. He spoke substan tially as follows:—“I observed, when I took the chair, ‘that I should make some remarks on the manifesto of John Kelly at the recent Tammany Convention, andthe time bas arrived when I should submit the views of the Recorder on thie manifesto, That attack was the most cowardly ever made by a man in his position on a man in Judge Hackett's proud judicial position. When men like him shall have succeeded 1m destroying the in- fluence of the people in their great judges, and when others shall have succeeded in crushing the Court of Appeals, what will remain to us of the glory of our judiciary ? Gentlemen, that speech was only part of € concerted attack which is to strike down every man on and off the Bench, who opposes: HIS HIGHNESS JOUN KELLY, i hs John Kelly said the other night that he would avoid all personalities, and so will I, except to tell the truth, John Kelly a year ago, when he was running the Uti Convention, complained bitterly that Nelson J. Water.” bory issned a pamphlet intending to influence the Con- vention. He charged that it was a dastardly and cow- ardly attack, as he then had no opportunity to reply to Now) What must he say when ho, holding the Con- vention IN THE HOLLOW OF IITs HAND, and with seven columns of matter in type in the New York World, made this attack upon the Recorder, while there was no living being at that Convention who dared to defend him? What must he say about this das- tardly attack on one of the greatest criminal judgos we have ever had in this country? (Applause.) That Zonvention contained lawyers of high standing who ‘new tho Recorder, who admired him, and what did they do when he was denounced as no one #ak ever denounced before? In all times the members of the legal Piotemce, have been distinguished for the tourage to defend the right. O’Connell—(Ap- fee ae one of these fearless’men, and there were ity of ono hundred men at that Convention who would have been glad to defend the Recorder mp MiAwat dare todo Ro, Why. it wag the most dis- | | avd | Spective delegations to gelect permanent officers of the The voting for thase candi- | But little divergence of | Court—Joseph Koch and | racetul spectacleever witnessed In any community, (Kpplagse) ‘These men eringed that 3 ‘qHRIPR MIOHT FOLLOW PAWXING.

The speaker here took up # printed bill to which he called the atten- tion of bis hi On this handbill was inseribed the name of John Kelly for Surrogate, District Atiorney, Judge of the Superior Court, City fon 4 and other posi- tions. It was signed “John Kelly, John Kelly, Secretaries and John Kelly, Chairman,” This paper was received with great laughter. THE CHARGES MADE AGAINST RECORDER HACKETT by Kelly-in his speech atTammany Hall were next taken up by Mr. Schaffer. He first alluded to the statement as to the quashing of an indictment against Peter B. Evert William M. Tweed and others. That indictment ‘been quashed legally. He would ask as to the parties who made the motion in court to quash this indictment? . Why they were John McKeen and Frederick Smythe. Now Kelly proposes to put the latter in the seat of Mr, Hackett, The ‘Boss’ of Tammany said the people were watching him carefully in the matter of these judicial nominations. But was Kelly proceeding cautiously when he attempted to put ‘THE ATTORNEY OF SWEENEY AND TWEED in the position of Revorder Hackett. He (Mr. Schaffer) could safely assert that Recorder Hackett was as pure a8 the driven snow. Kelly took a mean advantage in attempting to knock out the brains of an enemy by unjust means. The Convention that night had nominated for County Judge Mr. Henry A. Giliergieve, a distinguished American gentleman. Who was thé candidate put forth py Tammany Hall? It was ex-Judge J. 8, Spencer, who had subscribed $500 to erect a monument to Wilham M. Tweed. Kelly claimed that he could not nomimate anybody in affiliation with the Ring. Was this consistency? The next charge brought against Recorder Hackett was in relation to an overcharge of $21,000 whilo acting as Assistant Corporation Counsel. ‘This money had been legally paid for fifteen months’ services, William H. Peckham had received a much larger amount for six weeks’ work. Mr. Kelly knew these facts when he mado 80 outrageous @ statement. I think, continued the speaker,fwhen you look into the records of the Cor- ey sce Counsel you will find that over $100,000 a year has been spentin the ‘eraef reform.”” Now the third that many of Recorder Hackett’s | decisions have been” reversed. Well, from April, 1866, till, =~ now 5,090 judgments have been pronounced by Recorder Hackett; and out of theso seventeen have been reversed! And John Kelly says he is not acompetent judge! Well, Jet us take other cases that have come up to the Court of Appeals, Since 1878 163 casés have been appealed from the Supreme Court, General Term, and of these ninety-nine were affirmed and fifty-nine reversed. I hope that in the future, when John Kelly criticises judicial fitness, he will prepare himself so that he shall KNOW WHAT H® IS TALKING ABOUT. The next charge is that he veted for improper bills and charges, Weill,syou know that the recorder simply voted as a matter ofroutine upon the regular report of the proper com! he charge that the Re- corder received any:money corruptly from the votes? No. The next cl is that he received too charge is honestly earned. The next charge is that Recorder Hackett interfered im the Hall trial. Now I know some- thing about this case, Mr. Peckham says that when the juror died in the trial before Judge Daly, Hall was in danger, while everybody knows that all the eleven Jurors shook bands with Mayor Hall after the trial was over. (Applause) To show you that Mayor Hall was not favored by Recorder Hackett’s action I will on! remind you that when tho jury in the trial Brady had disagreed Judge bende was sent-to-convict Mayor Hall, and the jury geeing the great that was intended to be perpe- u acquitted Mayer Hall, to his chagrin and that of the whole tribe. (. use.) The pretence that Judge Hackett quashed the ment against Sweeny wrongly is mero moonshine. District Attorney Phelps ‘DID NOT OBJECT TO IT, and even Charles did not move for another mdictment. ‘ I am not going to-say anything personally against John Lore 1 have always admired a bold man, But John Kelly is an extremely dangeroug man. He ‘is not only a bold, clear-headed man; he is skilled in all the tricks and arts of rhetoric. This man’s ability is only equalled by his boldness. He has seized upon the government and holds it in the hollow of his hand, le is the most dangerous man who ever seized hold of it. A series of resolutions were then adopted declaring the importance of a pure juaiciary, and expressing sym- pathy with the laborers in their present condition, when the Convention, at midnight, adjourned.

EFFECT OF THE REPUBLICAN SWEEP ON COUNTY AND STATE POLITICS. ‘The republican victory in Newark is, in many respects, the most remarkable within the memory of the oldest voter. The republican candidate for Mayor has a majority lose on 3,400, the highest ever given any Mayoralty | cia Of the fifteen wards the republicans made a clean sweep of thirteen, and came within forty-nine votes of capturing a tourteenth. The returns show some singular facts. The vote this yea is 4,000 greater than when Mayor Pérry was elected two years ago. The balk of this was cast for dhe repabligan candidate, but still the democratic can- didate r Wee Aad yote, by 218, than that which elected Pofty tn 1378 a ees 7 6 pasting Gast of the démocracy is the fact that the republicans, ever Fince the constitutional amendment election, have been doing their utmost to infuse into local and State poli- tics a religious strife, In view of the fact. that the, famous Protectory: bill was passed by the demo- cratic Assembly, and that a large and influential portion of the democratic party is composed of Roman Catho- lies, the unseurupulous partisan cry that the demo- cratic party is “in strong sympathy with the Roman Catholic hiererchy,” has been and is still being used with considerable effect. It is now appearing clear that the sweep in Newark is mainly chargeable to this revival of Know Nothingism, and Native-Americanism. The result in Newark is bound to have a most important effect on the election in the State next month. To begin with, it has given the democracy everywhero a staggering blow. A few days ago thera was a fierce strife in Essex county for the democratic shrievalty nomination, Since Tuesday several of tho most prominent aspirants have announced themselves out of the canvaas, FIXING THE ELECTIONS, Loud complaints are beard in all quarters of Jersey City against the partisan character of the judges and clerks of election appointed by the Police Commissioners. Several clerks and judges are employés of the Com- missioners, and draw salaries as such from the city. Although the Mayor hag repeatedly refused to sign warrants for tho payment of judges and clerks who hold positions under the city government, these mon aro willing to accept the position wMhout fee or reward, Tha some ulterior object is to bo attained is certain, One clerk is a non-resident, LONG ISLAND POLITICS, L, BRADFORD PRINCE NOMINATED FOR THE FROM THE or— | SENATE FIRST DISTRIOT—COOK, OF | ing trom a letter of Mr, Schtosder recommending the OYSTER BAY, NOMINATED FOR THE ASSEMBLY.

He would look after the depart ments of the city, and thereby reduce the working ex- penses and the taxes, He stood there as no man's man, to represent no ring, to represent no clique.

Fernando Wood lectured last night before the St. Patrick’s Mutual Benevolent Association fr the benetit of the widows and orphans of the Twentieth ward at Continental Hall, corner of Eighth avenue and Thirty-fourth street, His subject was “The Land We Live In,” He dwelt at length on the physical greatness of the United States. Passing to a consideration of the people, Mr. Wood spoke very highly of their indom itable energy. They were not to be put down by ad- verse circumstances. They must feel the influence of some great moving element of energetic production. There must be some underlying cause for all this, The climate has its effect in producing this disposition as well as our free institutions, But the greatest cause in the lecturer’s opinion was the crossing of of na- tionalities of the world. He spoke at some length on the settlement of tho colonies by the different Earopean nations and came to the conclusion that the best qual- ities of every nation are conveyed into one grand focus in the American nation, But, said the speakor, I think we have also a great many faults asa people,asa nationality. One thing is that we have too much to do with politics. The license of the press is too great in attacking public men. Another fault is the persistent misrepresentation of our public officers after they are elected. This policy causes public esteem for authority to depreciate, As soon as a people is taught to look with contempt and suspicion apon the lJawgivers they very soon come to disr t the laws. Another fault is that. we boast too muct Regarding the present state of the country Mr. Wood said:—We have pushed our credit too far, and we are feeling the effects of it now. It is time that we should settle down. The people must acquire pees coolness, economy. They must become more industrious, temperate and frugal, and prosperity will again return to make the nation happy and wealthy.” rev PIGEON SHOOTING. THE INTERNATIONAL MEETING AT ANTWERP.

THE LATE INSTRUCTIONS OF THE ADMIRALTY BRITISH NAVAL OFFICERS—CORRESPOND! WITH THE BRITISH AND FOREIGN ANTI-SLAYs ERY SOCIETY—PRESS COMMENTS. (From the London Times, Sept. 30, 1875.) ‘The following correspondence has passed between ued Admiralty and the British and Foreign Anti-Slavery * Society on the subject of the instructions issued by th Lords Commissioners of the Admiralty “with referen\ to the question how far officers im command of H. Majesty’s ships are Justified in receiving on board tive slaves who, escaping from their masters, ma; claim the protection of the British flag’ :— A REMONSTRANCE. To rms LonDs OF THR ADMIRALTY :— y} Tho members of the British and Foreign Anti Slavery Society respectfully beg to convey to youl lordships the expression of their profound regret certain instructions have been issued réquiring nai officers to surrender fugitive slaves to their masters. They submit that these-instructions constitute th entire abandonment of that nobleand honorable pol which has distinguished Great Britain for more 100 years, Ever since the decision in the cage of the slay Somerset, nobly defended by Granville Sharp in 1 it has always been held that a slave on British soil or 0 board a British vessel of war was absvlutely free the property of no man. ‘This is the cherished opinion of the people of thi country, and we should feel alarmed for the cause 0: hamanity could we believe they would ever consen to allow the settled policy of the nation t be reversed, and fugitive slaves once on boar Her Majesty's ships to be ever delivered to the grasp of tho slaveowner. “Thor shalt not deliver unto his master tho servant who escaped from his master unto theo,” was the comman of God under the Old Dispensation, and, being in ha: mony with the spirit and principle of the New Te: hould be binding upon every Christian natio1 afford a moral support and give the direct sanction o! this country to slavery. On all these grounds they, therefore, respectful urge upon the Lords Commissioners the immediat repeal of these obnoxious regulations.

No, 27 New Broad street, 20th September, 1875, THE REPLY, ! To this memorial the following reply was made by the Admiralty:— Apwiraty, Sept. 25, 1875. GaytTLemEN—I am commanded by my Lords Commis. sioners of the Admiralty to acknowledge the receipt of the memorial from the British and Foreign Anti Slavery Society, dated 20th inst., in regard to the re. ception of fugitive slaves in Her Majesty's ships, an: my Lords desire me to inform you that a copy of you momorial has been transmitted to the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs, Lam, gentlemen, your obedient servant, THOMAS WOLLEY. , We give the “instructions” tn full:— Hon, Secretaries. harbor or within territorial waters, from the alleged cruelty of their masters or the consequence of their misdeeds; where the tig ship or boat ts on the high seas an @ refugee slave escaping. perhaps, from a vessel also at sva, would im danger of losing his life were he not received 01 board; where a person has been detained on sho in a state of slavery, and, escaping to British ship or boat claims British protection on th been so detained contrary ot peeates as aso ee Oman, Madagascar and Ji hanna, are partially 2.

Those interested im maintaining the slavery of the person claiming his dom should assist at the inquiry, and, in the event of his claim being established, the local authorities shou! be requested to take steps to insure his not rel into slavery. 4. Asa general principle care should be taken tha® slaves are not misled into the belief that they will their liberty by getting under the British flag afloat, o induced by the presence of a British ship to leave their own ships, if at sea, or their employment, if om shore. 6 When surrendering fugitive slaves commandi: officers should exercise their discretion in endeavoring, H | of $3, according to the circumstances of each case, to ootaim an assurance that the slaves will not be treated with un< due severity, 6.
