THE STATE CAMPAIGN, A Bitter Contest in the Twenty- sixth Senatorial District. . DEMOCRATS AND REPUBLICANS AT FRYER HEAT Posaible Gain of Two Democratic Assemblymen and a Democratic Majority in Ontario County. AN INSURANCE*WAREARE. “Gexeva, Ontario Coanty,«Oct, 22, 1875. If the Senatorial contest-in this .sectton of the State were dependent for succes® solely upon a free indul- Bence in pergonal abuse of:the most-vialent kind of the respective candidates by their respective party ene- mics, it is more thanmlikely that the.fight would be a “draw” the night of-election. When was in the dis- trict now represented. by Seikrog I hacsan idea that the charges made against him by his-oppoments were avout as bad as could be made against any’ member of the Legislature, but they were made in atifl, formal, logi- cal sort of way, without being weakened by personal invective, that left a very marked impression upon those who read them in the local: prints or heard them made by the democratic \speakers on the stump. ‘But in this district the charge and counter ‘ebarge war rages so fiercely that ‘good natured country editors, who shut up shop at ‘eight o'clock and would think them selves justly open to ‘Whe charge of dissipation if they stayed up after ten, Jose their temper every day in talk ing about the con- test. Finding ordinary language too weak to give ex- Pression to their feelings they now «call cach other liars in big capitals, The result is rativer confusing to a stranger at first, and if he did not gosto work and in- vestigate for himself before leaving” the district he would be certain to go away with the#impression that the democrats had put in nomination#one of the most infamous scoundgels outside of Stato-'Prison, and that the republicans had followed their example. However, ail things considered, I do not wonder-after all that the rank and file, falling in the wake of their local leaders in town and country, should be so fleree, not only in this county, but in Yates: and Seneca,which are also ‘an the Senatorial district, for outsiders’ have come tn to gg on to greater bitterness the most*violent opponent pf one of the candidates. Everybody knows how dis- agrecable is a stranger's imierference in a domestic Fow, and how it often happens that the combatants join forces out of sheer spite to give the interloper MORE THAN HE BARGAINED FOR. It may be that, where the strife is asto what particu- lar man shall represent a certainedistrict in the Benate not only, but who is to hi a vote in all matters of state that can be con- Bidered by tho Legislature, people outside of the ‘district havea right to do all they can legitimately to ‘Influence the defeat or election of' a certain candidate; Dut the yoters of acounty do not Jook at the ghing in that light. They, and they alone, have the right to vote on the subject, they argue, amd, while they are willing to make a Stand up fight with their neighbors omany point at issue, they do notyeasily brook the meddiing of third parties with their‘local difficulties, .And such scems to be the feeling in Yates and Seneca ,and Ontario counties, particularly in the two latter, pver the efforts that are being made by outsiders to com- ‘pass the defeat of the democratic candidate for Senator, Btephen H. Hammond. Indeed, if the crusade against him by persons not resident of cither of the three counties continues, I am perfectly satisfed, from tho , talk I have heard about the matter, by both republicans and democrats, that it will result in increasing his vote, , As I have already said, the contest is a very bitter ono in the distriet, and personal abuse is the chief offensive ‘weapon used by both sides. Mr. Hammond is accused ‘of various heinous offences, and one of the pet epithets @pplied to him is “fee taker” and ‘‘blackmailer.” The J republicans charge that when he was Deputy Attorney General he was bribed by an insurance company with $5,000 paid in cash not to do his whole duty when :he. ‘company was in abad way. The answer made to this by Hammond himself is that he was employed as counsel ‘by the company, and the $5,000 was a legitimate fee. “T leave the reader to judge for himself of the propriety— snot to use a stronger term—of the Deputy Attorney | General accepting a fee as counsel in a case where his action as a State officer might have to come into play. ‘ertainly people would open their eyes if it came to boas that jnst now, when the members of the Canal ing are being prosecuted, Deputy Attorney General should become counsel for and take a retainer iden or Denison. However, Mr. Hammond frankly acknowledges that he got the $5,000, but as tounsel; so it may be only a question of propricty after all, But THE MOST SERIOUS CHARGE ‘fegainst him is that the bill he introduced in the Assem- Diy Inst winter, providing for the taxation of the cap- ital stock of insurance companies, was a “strike,” and that he demanged $30,000 from the companies as a édouceur to induce him not to press the measure. I am of the decided opinion, from all I have been able to hear of the matter, that the story about the $30,000 is ‘gil gammon, from the fact that the Clerk of the Assem- bly bas shown by the journal of the House that Ham- ‘mond did all he could to ‘‘push”’ the bill after he had Introduced it. Furthermore, such a bill was suggested by the bankers apd others in this district, as weil as by Tax Commissioner Andrews, of your city, who claimed that it was not just that $61,000,000 should escape tax- ‘ation while banks and other institutions not making a third of the money of the insurance companies had to pay tax on their capital stock. Another crime imputed 4o Hammond is that he some time ago gave a dinner to “his political friends at Penn Yan; and yet another, that ho was seen drinking ina saloon, and that he invited vthers to join him. Think ‘of that, ye New York Assembly candidates! It will be borne in mind that Hammond was the author of the Dounty Treasurers’ bill. In the last session this was defeated, thanks to the votes of the friends of the Canal WRing, whom Hammond, as chairman of the Ways and ‘Means Committee, had offended by his refusal to insert many of the “little” items they wanted to put in the Bupply bill. The year previous he had endeavored to similar bill, but the county treasurers’ money too potent, and the only bill anything like the ‘one he desired made a law was that, now a law, which goncerns Seneca and Monroe counties alone. ' It was | Jarvis Lord’s creation, and though Hammond tried to | t Ontario county included in it, Cyrille Lincoln’s op- Fosition and that of Struble from Yates on behalf of his county, thwarted him. Though he did not accomplish what he was after, the county treasurers’ give him credit for the will if they can’t for the deed, and now :that he is trying to become a Senator they are deter- mined that, if they can help it on he will be defeated. “They will even use money to prevent him from going back to Albany. These county treasurers, or rather, Abeir agents, are among the intermeddling outsiders L | have alluded to, but they are not half so energetic in | ‘Cheir hostility to the democratic candidate as another class of outsiders, the men representing ‘THE INSURANCE INTEREST. There seems to bea general combination of all this ‘nterest against Hammond, and you cannot go into any hotel or tavern in city or town in the district with- ont finding on the table or counter some insurance | paper from New York or pamphlet rebearsing the $4,000 and $30,000 charges. Here in Geneva it is an in Burance agent who is the distributor of these docu- ‘ments, showing plainly how the land lies. The story Bbout the $30,000 may be true; but it does seem strange that such a concerted movement should he made upon Hammond because of that fact alone. It may be possi- Die that the insurance companies are fearful lest, if elected, he may renew his bill to tax their capital | Stock and, as a Senator, be more successful in the operation than he was as ‘an Assemblyman. I do not Propose to discuss the merits or demerits of the ques- tion, for Hammond may be as big a rascal as his political opponents claim that he is, and as the charge about the insurance bill has not been gustained by proof every voter in the district ix left hike ‘© juryman to decide the “issue of fact’ as his judgment Hictates, But the effect the charge has had upon the pie in the thres counties, I can, from observation, K with some accuracy. In the first place, in some of the larger towns in the : dar charge bat all the others made and the general one hat he is a corrupt man are doing him vast injury, and e will certainly lose many democratic votes by reason Of them; but with many republican farmers the effect Wiruck me as being just the other way. Since Governor Tilden’s raid on the Canal Ring and all the talk he bas indulged in at the various fairs he has attended about the reduction of taxes, the farmers have got REDUCTION ON THE URAIN. | | ig8 which are heid every now and th which they attend faitufully, no wunjer: ‘ mete be & greater attraction Lor them, and they tollow a xpeaker who deals in figures by the hour with the same. inter est they used to listen in the campaigns of '64 and ‘6h to a returned soldier on the stump telling a battle story. All this hubbab, then, in the district about Hammond's effort to get certain rich corporations taxed and the knowledge that they are trying to crush ite author are not lost upon some of the farmers, but in stead of beHeving in the charge that the bill wae a “atrike’’ they on! y look to what would be the result if such a bill should become a law. A great many of them simply look at the $61,000,000 printed in big black letters in the democratic locals and argue tv bat, right or wrong, the insurance companies have no “Tight to privileges not extended to banks and other corporations, So it is apparent that so far as a goodly amber of the farmers are concerned this Bressure from tho outside to defeat Ham- even the | district not only this particn- | mond may result, instead of depriving him of dem- ocratic votes, in drawing to his support farmers who might, but for the insurance bill talk, vote for the re. publican candidate. As for the lattér, as I have inti- matod, he has come in for almost as much abuse as Hammond. His name is Edwin Hicks. He resides in Canandaiguo, twenty-two miles from here, and is well known all over the county, as he certainly ought to be, having been District Attorney the past twelve years, Weil, not having been to the Legislature his Political opponents cannot accuse him of gett “strike;'” but do charge, as an offset mond’s $5,000 feo business, that when the Air Cure” establishment was burned the insural terest amounting to $70,000 or $80,000, and the Dis. “| trict Attorney's services being in prospective demand in the matter he took a retainer as counsel for the companies in the civil cases, Then, again, he is charged | With not prosecating a man who was indicted for mur- dor and with afterward appearing as the man’s counsel when the fellow was tried for the heinous offence of subornation of perjury tn getting another man to swear that his wife was unchaste, in order that he might geta divorce. The man was convicted, but | Mr. Hicks obtained a stay of proceedings, and since | then the criminal walks the strects as free as any man. Why ?”? asks a democratic Jocal in the district, and it answers its own question thus:—‘‘Because he has | money and does not BOW DOWN To oF¥ENDED JUSTICE" Then the case of another man indicted for a serious offence, but who is to day ‘free on the avenues,” 18 Drought up against him, besides several other cases, | the insinuation being thrown out in each that corrup- tion was at the bottom of the “neglect” of the District Attorney to perform his dnty. AS a counter to this comes a dash at Hammond trom some of Hicks’ friends, fm handbill form, as follows:—‘‘We trust Mr. Hammond will ‘expiain about bis $5,000 | Knickerbocker . bribe; about his $10,000) ao ear Jim Fisk Erie’ Railroad salary: about bis ‘an Dusen $757 check; about accepting a receiver for the insurance company that gave only a $10,000 bond to take care of the $130,000 worth of government bonds ‘ot the company, the security of the widows and orphans of policy-holders of the company." It will be seen by all this that I was fully justified in the opening part of this letter in saying that astranger in the district, with- out investigating for: himself, would naturally be led to believe that both parties had nominated for the Senate two of the worst men they could find, I have taken more than usual pains to learn what the final result of the contest between the two abused men will be, and Ty have found that but few, even among the democrats, . believe that Mr. Hicks ever knowingly did anything wrong as District Attorney, and that the belief in his) honor and uprightness is universal in the district. I wish; T could say the same thing of Mr. Hammond, In spite of bis denials there are very many democrats who prefer* to believe in the truth of the charges made against him | and who will vote against him accordingly. “A man without much means,” said one of them to me, “who 18 elected Deputy Attorney General can’t become wealthy honestly on $3,500 a year, even if he kept his place for twenty years. And yet Mr. Hammond seems. to bea rich man now.” I have said that many repub-y lican farmers will vote for Mr. Hammond, | becausof they belive in the justice of the principle of his bill to tax the capital stock of the imsurance companies; but Lam very much mistaken if he will not lose more votes in his own party than he will draw on that ac- count from the other side in certain sections of the; district, notably in Yates county, though his personal popularity in Ontario may carry him ahead of hist ticket in some places, particularly in this city. When the vote of the three counties comes to be counted ons 4 the night of the election I feel convinced that it will be discovered that Mr. Hicks will have a few hundred more votes than Mr. Hammond. However, if Mr. Shotwell Powell, who 1s running as temperance candidate for Senator, gets, as his friends say he will, 1,200 votes in the dis-| trict, Mr. Hammond may after all be clected, and the indications are that the temperance vote will be strong in each of the three counties. This city can be taken as a criterion. Last year it only gave four votes ip | Clark, the temperance candidate, and there are already ‘| sixty Votes in the city pledged to vote for prohibition. next month, Certainly the prohibition vote this fall is destined after all to be an important factor in the election, which must be taken into the calculations of the politicians in more than one district of the State where the majorities are-never very large either wa) ‘As I have already shown in previous letters from other sections, this vote will be the means of defeating seve-+ ral republican members of Assembly. THE VOTE ON THE ASSEMBLYMEN. In all the Assembly districts of the three counties which go to make up this Senatorial district the pro- bibitionists have their candidates in the ficld. In this county (Ontario) last winter the Assembly delogation stood one democrat from the First district and one ‘republican from the Second. It 1s pretty certain that the democrats will carry both-this year. he Second district Hiram Maxfield, who came within ten votes, j,last year of defeating Cyrills % Lincoln, has been nom. # |, inated by the democrats. His popularity can be judged ° + irom the fact that, while his town (Naples) gave Dix fifty-three majority, it gave htm a majority of 111. In the Fourth district the democratic candidate is Seth Stanley, a produce merchant at Stanley, on the line of” the Southern Centra! Railroad. Stephen H. Hammond represented this district last winter in the Legislature. The republican cantiidates are Volney Edgerton, of } Hopewell, in the First, and John Raines, Jr.’ of Canandaigua, in the Second. The latter 1s not popular, and will be easily beaten. The prohibition candidates ee A. B. Smith, of Geneva, and Stephen A. Codding, of Bristol. They will each'poll their share of the 300 oad colt water votes in the county. In Seneca the democrats have put Dr. Lewis Post, of Lodi, in the field against McClelland, of Ovid. Seneca had a demo- cratic representative in the Assembly last year, and she will be sure to have one again this year. “In Yates county the republicans have agreed ‘to try Hanford /Struble once more, who defeated George W. Spencer, democrat, jast year by only ten votes. The latter was Tenominated some weeks ago, bat has bad to withdraw on account of ill health, and ‘his place has been taken “py John Sutherland, of Potter. A strong effort will bo made to elect Sutherland, «and owimg to certain little circumstances over which Struble will have no control Fit 1s quite probable that it will be a.successful one. Both in Yates and Seneca the prohibitionists have their men in the field determined to get defeated on principle. THE STATE TICKET. There will be a heavy vote polled in the three coun- ties, on account of the Senatorial fight. But for the bitterness of this contest it is more than probable that the vote in the district would be ght. The great mass of the democrats will go the straight ticket, although Bigelow will get scratched by the canal men. | However, | as they do not number a dozen in the three counties, the ticket can very well stand it, as there are indica- tions that many fepublicans will yote for the entire | ;tieket. There are no growling Bourbons among the |. |, democrats in the district; at least, if there are they «have not as yet shown their colors, if they intend to go for Bigelow’s scalp. Seneca, of course, will give a good democratic majority, and I am inclined to believe that Ontario will go back'on her republican record and give a Amal one. The republican majority cast against Til- den last year will be, it is evident, materially reduced, So the democrats in the rest of the State may feel satis fied that the Twenty-sixth Senatorial district, so far as the State ticket and Assemblymen are concerned, will not give them cause for sorrow on election day.

That gentleman, upon accepting the nomina- | tion, assured the convention that he is ‘no man's man;” that he is ‘no ring’s man,’ that, if elected, he will labor in the interest of reduction of taxation, and will serve the people faithfully. His record as a | citizen, a member of the Board of Education, and a | mérchant, is unimpeachable. The republicans say, ‘We don't question the honesty and integrity of Rowe, | but he is under the ban of a McLaughlin nomination, He is It A RING CANDIDATE.’' This argument carries with it some weight among those whose party feelings are not strong and who are | desirous of witnessing the overthrow of the present democratic leaders. The republicans, in nominating Frederick A.

OREGON TO CHOOSE A CONGRESSMAN AXD COI- ORADO DELEGATES TO A CONSTITUTIONAL CONVENTION, An election for representative in Congress takes place in Oregon to-day. The campaign has been lively one, and there are no Jess than four candidates in the field. The contest is accidental this year and is democrats in 1874, but who died before the term for which he was elected began, George A. La Dow. Oregon ig one of the States where an independent party has had some following, but the extinction of that organj ization in California leaves it without any hopes or | strength, It was thought at one timo that | Senator Booth would be a probable candidate | for the Presidency next year. This opinion rested upon the belief that California and Oregon would uphold his views on public affairs, | Matters turned out differently, and Messrs. ‘Billy’? Carr, Gorham and Sargent, as mouthpieces of the ad- ministration in the recent campaign, scoffed at and | ridiculed Booth’s real or supposed aspirations, These men came on from Washington to carry the State in | the third term interest, and were beaten by 30,000 majority, or two to one, THE CANDIDATES. As mentioned above, there are fonr candidates to fill Ja Dow's place. They are Lafayette Lane (youngest son of General Joe Lane), a man of acknowledged abil- ity, and who has lived an entire lifetine in Oregon; Rev. Mr. Whitney (a Campbellite clergyman), Indepen- dent; Henry Warren, a Canadian, republican, and Rev. Mr. Dominick (a Methodist preacher), prohtbitionist. Mr. Lane, the democratic candidate, will undoubtedly be elected by about 2,000 majority, not because Orogon is a democratic’ State, but on account of the undivided compactness of his’ vote and the schism in the opposition ranks by which the republicans are | split into three distinctive factions. An opposition has been raised against Lane on the ground of his being | a Roman Catholic, but under the circumstances hie | election is notat all jeopardized. Whitney, the inde. | pendent candidate, was led into the boliet that he | would be supported by the administration party, but he soon found out his mistake and rosolved to stand by the men who placed him in nomination, Warren, thongh an alien by birth, was a loader among the Know Nothings twenty years’ ago, The Irish and Germans recollect this fact and will yote against him | toa man. The democrats will clect Lane by a large | vote, and this victory will give them much prestige for the State election next June, when the Legislature then elected will have to choose a United States Senator in September to succeed Mr. Kelly, present democratic Senator, whose term will expire in March, 1877.

NEW YORK HERALD, MONDAY, OCTOBER 25, 1875.—TRIPLE S TURKISH REPUDIATION. THE LATE PANIC IN THE LONDON STOCK EX- CHANGE—SHORT AND SUMMARY METHOD OF GETTING OUT OF FINANCIAL DIFFICULTIES— ‘A NEW WAY TO PAY OLD DEBTS.” (From the Pall Mall Gazette, October 11.) ‘To make a panic it ts not always necessary to resort to surprise. The panic that seized the Stock Exchange on Thursday, continuing to rage with increasing ve- hemence till a Sunday came in to suspend operations, was certainly not due to any unexpected shock or to the discovery of any circumstance of danger thereto- fore concealed. The announcement which has made havoe in the European stock markets was undoubtedly more sudden and more untimely than it need have been in the ordinary course of circunistances—even of such clrcumstances as embarrass the Turkish government; and therefore we suppose there must be something to account for the precipitancy of this act of repudiation, But whatever the explanation may be, {t is not likely to be of a nature consoling to the holders of Turkish bonds. —Indeed, there is nothing whatever to console them, that wo can see, except their own foreknowledge of the catastrophe asa thing absolutely inevitable, sooner or Jater, and the reflection that the alr is more or less clear above the devastation occasioned by the disaster. ‘We know now that there is less to get ont of Turkey, ‘but we can form a more ured estimate of how much less she will pay over acertain period, Partial repudi- ation to-day is better than total repudiation a little while hence, and it is quite certain that if Turkey had succeeded in carrying on for wfew years longer tho financial operations of the last decade, she must have fallen into sudden and utter insolvency. From re- formed administration nothing could be hoped and nothing can bo hoped. Inasmuch as little or no money can be borrowed any more the af- fairs of Turkey will doubtless improve, The spendthrift who ‘can no longer resort to the Jews is likely to cast about him sorio@ly at last for means ot retrenchment, But as for any large, well planned, vig- orons and long continued effort to develop resourcos, to nize taxation, to cut off the prodigious waste of the civil list, it is impossible to harbor any expectation of it. If the country could be given over for these mis able five years to the peaceful and undisturbed admin- istration of afew picked Indian officials, or if (which would be even more to the purpose) it could be taken mn hand by one of those pachas who from time to time act prodigies of good government in some distant province and are then recalled, all would go well enough. The country might then be easily brought into such a condition as ought at least to satisfy creditors who, by the very terms of the bargain, consented to’ the enjoyment of far 1ess security for their money than absolute solvency signi- fies. Butno such rule, we are afraid, will ever bo found at Constantinople till Constantinople ceases to bea Turkish city. Itis even doubtful whether Turkey would be allowed to prosper; indeed, for our own part, we do not at all doubt that she would not be allowed to prosper. Her difficulties are the desire of Powers too Christian and too polite to rejoice at them openly, but too pushing and political to ceaxe from adding to ‘them in any small way that opportunity may pre- sent. To inner corruption, extravagance and folly of an apparently incurable kind must be added the prospect of a serics of costly disturbances trom without, of which the insur- rection in the Herzegovina is an example, Positive encouragement they may not have; but there are reasous in the policy of certain powerful States which convince us that the danger of their repetition is in creasing. THE AMOUNT OF THE DRT. But, in reference to the matter immediately before us, there are one or two points in the case which suggest alittle further inquiry, and which have not yet been sittise factorily considered. In the first place the announce- ment seems to show that Turkey was more heavily in debt than had been supposed. The “Statesman’s Year Book” tor the present year places the nominal capital of the Turkish debt at £155,000,000, and the interest, including the guarantee to the railways, at £9.000,000 ; in “Whittaker's Almanac” the amount of the debt is placed at £157,000,000, but the interest is not stated; while, in an article published last February on the debts of the world, we ourselves placed the capital of the debt at £135,000,000, and the interest at £9,500,000. It looks very much ‘now as if all these amounts had | been under-estimated. Weare told that the repudia- lion of half the interest of the debt will save the Curkish government 7,000,000 Turkish pounds, or £6,000,000 annually, If this be true, the amount of the interest on the Turkish debt must have been £2,500,000 higher than any Enelish critic had imagined; and all the urkish accounts which have reached this country st have been erroneous to this extent, It is pos- je, ot course, that the saving to the Turkish gov- ment may have been purposely exaggerated, and it it may not reach £6,000, 000. was known to show a deficit of £5,000,000, and a Turk- ish financier might very naturally, if he had made up his mind to a step of this sort, desire to make a deficit look like a surplus. HOW THE CREDITORS STAND. The second point is a more important one. It is said, in effect, that the different creditors of Turkey stand in avery different position. Some have had certain revenues specially hypothecated to them, while others have lent their money on the general credit to tbe country. To place a creditor with special security for | his money on the same footing as an unsecured creditor is obviously offensive to every principle of equity. Whatover pretence there may be for repudiating the xeneral debt, there can be none for overthrowing the arrangement by which certain revenues are assigned ag security to particular bondholders. There is no doubt whatever that this argument is sound in principle. Un- | fortunately, however, there is ono difficulty in the way of securing adhesion’ to it. The Turkish government want to save £6,000,000 a year, and the interest of the general Turkish debt only amounts, as far as we can make out, to £3,00,000 annually, If the entire interest on the general debt were cancelled an equilibrium would not even nominally be restored in the Turkish budget. If Tarkish financiers repudiate annually £6,000,000 of the habilities of their country they must necessarily confiscate some portion of the stock which appeared to be secured on particular revenues. Of course the bondholders will protest, and, especi- | ally as other governments have already interferea, they may possibly persuade Lord Derby to indorse their protests, but it is scarcely likely that they wil have any substantial success. They will have to make the beat of the matter as it stands, we are afraid, and it is not quite so bad as it looks, THE WHITECHAPEL MURDER. THE TWO BROTHERS WAINWRIGHT COMMITTED FOR TRIAL—DEMEANOR OF THE MEN IN court. (From the London Daily Telegraph, Oct. 14, 1875.] By sitting late yesterday evening Mr. Benson, tho Southwark Police Magistrate, contrived, with the will- ing aid of counsel on both sides, to complete the ex- amination of Henry and Thomas Wainwright, who were both committed for trial, the first named prisoner on the charge of murder and the second on that of being an accessory. The court was not nearly so full when the day’s proceedings began as it has previously been at the commencement of the hearing; but toward the close it was densely crowded, The first witness called was a pawnbroker's assistant, whose evidence was needed to establish the dates at which a wedding ring and keeper were pledged and redeemed. The required proof was afforded by two pawn tickets which tho witness was al lowed to use for the refroshment of his memory, in spite of his having admitted, im eross-ex- amination, that he took in scores of wedding rings every month—a statement which caused the ladies in | court to interchange smiles of astonishment—that he wrote tickets mechanically, and that he was not after- wards able to associate many of them in his mind with Old Mr. Lane, the father of the woman supposed to have been murdered, was then ex- amined and cross-examined as to his temory of tho scar on his daughter's leg. Then Eeles, or Fowler as | he called himself when pursuing a private inquiry into the fate of Harriet Lane, deposed to the contents of the | Dover telegram purporting to come from Fricake or | Fricke. Next the witness Stokes was examined by Mr. Poland and cross-examined by Mr. Bestoy. To both tho learned gentlemen was he inclined to plify his answers to an inconvenient degree, and when rebuked for this exuberance of testimony he said, with remark- able natrefé and bluntness, “Excuse me if 1 spexk too quick; I know it's the truth, and therefore I don’t ‘ex aggerate’ to tell it.” The ‘cross-examination of this | witness seemed directed to the point of there having previons State census, from 246,182 to 361,066, again of | hoon an abundance of light in the warehouse at White. | | | themselves over the rural districts, but seck the large | cities and manufacturing towns, which are already crowded, but still holding out more manifold chances | for emp a pyment. greater fax though and there is nothing that exercises over men than chances, failures are numerous in pro- 8, In 1870 the population of ow it 18 341,019, the Increase co Cambridge has increased | 18,547 to 20,605; | ; Fitehbarg from 11,260 to 12,280; $89 to from 13,02 to 14,628; Holyoke from 10,738" to 16,260; Lawrence from 28,931 to 34,007; Lowell from 40,928 to 49,677; Lynn from 28,233 16 32,000; New Bedtord from 21/320 'to 26,826; Newburyport from 1 am Newton from 12,825 to 16,105; Salem trom 24,117 to 25,065; Somerville from 14,685 to 21,868; Springfeld from 26,708 to 5 on trom ‘18,620 to 20,429 and Wotcester from 41,105 to 49,265, This snows that the increase has been very largely in the cittes, FATAL Margaret Davis, achild three yoars old, died at the Brooklyn City Hospital on Saturday afternoon ifom the effects of injuries received by being rin over by aborse D | | was. prine 16,764; Haverhill | and wagon, in front of her parents’ residence, No. 3 | Raymond street, «Nathan Stopenhagen, the driver of tho wagon, which belongs toa Myrtle avenue grocer, was arrested and released on bail, to await examination for criminal carelessness before Justi chapel, where, according to the theory of the prosecn tion, the murder was committed at a time fixed by the evidence of pistol-shots having been heard by three witnesses, Kogers and Tietjens were recalled by Mr. Besley expressly that they might answer his questions tending in the same direction, Mr, Chabot and other witnesses followed during the day, which, however, y consumed in the reading of the Now and then a correction or two had to be made; and, in parti- cular, Mr. Larkin, tho medical practitioner, begsed permission to explain. a diserepancy between ‘his own evidence and that ot Mr. Bond, who had not been aware of the fact that he (Mr. Larkin) had replaced a tooth which had been found loose, Inspector Ma cross-examined by Mr. Mo ing the key found on Hen to try whether another ke Thomas Wainwright, when he was searched it ly after his arrest, would not also fit the ich had been ised to seeure the door of the Hen Chickens. The inspector tried the key, handed to him by Mr. Moody, and said it certainly turned the lock, « cheap one; but that the other was the proper key, and fitted the wards much better. COMMITTED FOR TRIAT. Toward the end of the day Henry Wainwright twice or thrice spoke anxiously to his brother Thomas, who whispered bh short replies, Both prisoners tre quently communteated with their solicitors, and ap peared to be bending all their energies on a rebatment of the evidence as it grew, The crowding of the court at the back of the dock was a cruel infliction on the two men, who, except by standing ap, were unable to catch a breath of fresh air, and who scemed at the last terrt bly exhausted by the physical and mental strain. They long deporitions. wero sitting. pale and haggard, when. the depositions | The Turkish budget | EET, being nnished, Mr. Benson said, “Stand up, Henry Wainwright and Thomas Wainwright; where- upon they obeyed the call, as men would do in such circumstances, with an awe-stricken deference and attention to what the magistrate should say next. In the usual words, Mr, Benson told the elder prisoner that he was charged with the murder of Harriet Lane, and informed him that he was not obliged to ray any- thing, and that whatever he did say would be taken down and used against him at his trial, He was silent; and his solicitor, in the absence of counsel, said that Henry Wainwright pleaded not guilty, reserved his defence and did not here call any witnesse’. On behalf of Thomas Wainwright, an eloquent appeal was made by Mr. Moody that the magistrate pf admit him to bail. This was refused by Mr, Benson, and both men were taken from the dock on full committal to the ap- Proaching sessions. A TICHBORNE ROW. A MEETING OF DR. KENEALY’S BROKEN UP IN SUNDERLAND, ENGLAND—CHARACTERISTIC SCENES. [From the Newcastle Chronicle, Oct. 12, 1875.) Last night Dr. Kenealy was announced to dehver his second lecture in the Victoria Hall, Sunderland, the subject being “Magna Charta,’? and, owing to what took place the previous evening, it was fully expected there would be a great row, The anti-Kenealyites ejected on Monday night were rather severely handled, Several had ugly marks on their heads, one had to mount a respirator yesterday morning to conceal a cut mouth, while the consumption of coloring matter for the obliteration of black eyes was very considerable, The young gentlemen who had been thus mauled organized their friends for last night, and, well pro- vided with walking sticks, proceeded to the hall, backed up by a small force of mercenaries. The Dector appeared on the platform with a red tartan plaid around him, and bowed his acknowledgments for the cheers which greeted him. Unwinding the plaid he placed it on tho table and took his seat with a grati- fied smile, until he was compelled to riso and shake hands with an enthusiastic female, who advanced from the body of the hall, Mr, Thomas Pratt, miner, was again called to the chair, and in opening the procecd- ings advocated ‘Magna Charta’’ as tne unfailing panacea for the evils of the day. Mr. Kiley, of South Shields, then moved the first resolution ina gush of florid ora- tory, most of his remarks being in praise of Dr. Kenealy and his self-sacrificing and unpaid work on behalf of ‘sir Roger’ in particular and the people of England in general, Ina few minutes the ejected ot the previous night sauntered in with their forces and took their seats in the body of the hall, to the right side of the chair, Then there commenced a skirmishing fire of hisses, howls, and imitative cries, amid which M.. Kiley managed to finish his speech, KENEALY RISKS TO SPEAK. When the resolution had beon seconded from the platform, Dr. Kenealy rose, and his appearance was the signal fo a storm of cheering and howling. He com- meneed by referring to the disturbance of the previous night, and proceeded to expound the law on the subject. This exposition of tho legal situation was the signal for another series of cheering and howling, which con- tinued so long that Dr. Kenealy resumed his seat and sat quietly smiling and surveying the scene, The chair- man, an old man with a feeble voice, was belp- Jess’ under the circumstances, but Mr. Kiley left the platform to remonstrate with some of the alleged bowlers. In this he was backed up by an energetic lady, who sat in the dress circle, and oraced from that point of vantage, assuring the young men that, it she had only been a’ man, she would have gone down and warmed their jackets. Mr. Kiley also interviewed a policeman on duty, and ex- horted that functionary as to his peace-preserving ob- ligations, but the officer declined to interfere, and Mr. Kiley, therefore, made his way to the platform. From his place there he asked if they were going tamely to allow a dozen men hired for the purpose and paid for it, to prevent the “Doctor” having a hearing? There was accordingly a rush of gallery people into the body of the hall, which appeared to upset the calculations of Mr, Ahmed Kenealy, who was taking shillings at the door, and to put an end to his occupation; for a number of other persons in the lobby took advantage of the rush to get in without paying. From this time money taking Was at an end, though it was not quite eight o’clock, and there was such ularin in the body of the hall that the female portion of the audience either fled by the platform doors or took refugo on the platform itself, whence they surveyed the scene with a terrified air, THE MAN WITH THE WHITE NAT, The disturbance still continued, and the shouts of the Kenealyites appeared ‘to be directed chiefly against a man who wore a white straw hat, not that he made more noise than others, bat apparently because his hat rendered him conspicuous, Soon a knot of men clustered round his neighborhood and got into argument, the dispute being followed by blows and a scattering of benches, men tumbling Gn to and over them tn ail directions, The more timid of the male portion of the audience and those who had taken no part in the disturbance, being in danger of getting knocked over and trampled on, Tushed on to the platform, which was speedily covered by an excited throng. One of the combatants was knocked over the back of a bench and got so severeablow on the head that he was glad to hurry out, covered with blood, He was taken to the adjoining surgery of Dr, Lambert, when ho was found to have sustained a very severe scalp wound. Meanwhile a sort of running fight was kept up on the floor of the hall, the tide of battle surging from the right side to the left, benches beg upset in all di- rections, until one man was brought to the floor on his back. There he Jay in an apparent state of uncertainty as to the wisdom of getting up again until he was col- Jared, raixed up and hustled ont of the hall. A young man who had assailed hin with the knob of his stick was then pointed out by some gentlemen in the dress cir- cle, and he, too, was seizod and hustled out, From this point there was no more blows, but all order was at an end, and Mr. Kiley tried in vain from the platform to restore it. He tried “Three cheers for the Doctor !’’ but that would not do, and an appeal to all who loved order to sit down pro- cured but a temporary diversion. ‘The peo- ple who had taken’ eefuge on the plat. form did not seem inclined to leave it at his bidding, and an appeal for further reinforcements from the gallery, was answered, but those who camo down had uo fight in them, and appeared more anxious to see the fun and get a shilling place for sixpence than to face the sticks of the young bloods who had dis- turbed the meeting. KENEALY RETIRES. The noise and confusion continued as rampant as ever, and Dr. Ken cing then that there was no chance of a hearing, got up from his seat, cast his plaid around him and left the platform amid hisses and shouting. stairs and would return if the audience became quiet; but it appears that he made his way to the lobby ani left the hall, accompanied by one of his female sup- porters, walking, unmolested, away to his hotel. Fur- ther attempts to calm andience failed as be- fore, though the heroi the thunders of her wrath the “young blaagairds’? below, gus was then turned down low and the Ke yites left the platform — The disturbers then had tt all their own way, Outside a great crowd waited in vain for the appear ance of the Doctor, who: riaye drove up about nine o'clock, but finding no Doetor there it drove off again. For some time groups of people stood round about the Palatine Hotel, discussing theestate of affairs, while within the precincts of that comfortable hostelry the vietorious party drank confusion to Kenealy bumpers, congratulating each other that they had the Doctor off with an undelivered speech, and the damaged countenances which their frie tained on the previous night, LECTURE ON FINANCE, dress circle fulminated on the heads of The third lecture in the course on “Finance,” under the auspices of the New York Board of Trado, will be do. livered in the large hall of the Cooper Institute this evening.
