8 TW nie RAILWAY: Meeting of English Bondholders---The Report of the Joint Committees. THE MATTER IN A NUTSHELL. Appointment of a Committee of Consultation to Reorganize the Lompany, A BALANCE SHEET PROMISED, {From the London Times, Oct, 21, 1875.] Yesterday a large meeting of the bondholders and arehoiders (preferred and ordinary) of the Erie Rail- way Company was held at the City Terminus Hotel to receive and consider the report {rom the joint commit- tees, already referred to in the Times. Sir Edward Watkin, M. P., presided, and his statemouts and those of Mr. Morris, the legal adviser, were listened to with the greatest interest. The Cuainman, who was received with loud cheers, in the course of a speech lasting one hour and twenty min- utes, after reading the resolutions to be submitted to the meeting, said twenty-four years had elapsed since he first went over the Erie Railway, in 1851, and he could not remember, great as the finangial misfortunes and gross as the financial irregularities bad been, any undertaking which had existed during the whole of that period which had caused so much loss to | English holders and brought so much shame and disgrace on the United States as the Erie Railway, and | that ever blacker affair, the Atlantic and Great Wes ern.” (‘Hear, hear!) When he remembered that since 1867 the nominal capital of the Erie Railway had been augmented from under $50,000,000 to $150,000,000, and that the capital of the Atlantic and Great Western, which was not to exceed $60,000,000, | was considerably above $100,000,000, and when, as he believed, this was without increasing the value of the undertakings, he was bound to come to the conclusicn that there had deen in both a large sum of money squan- dered, improperly spent, discounted, given away and stolen. (‘‘Hear, hear!” and lond cheers.) With the power- ful aad invaluable assistance of Mr. Morris he had secured for the shareholders and the bondholders of the Eric Railway the control of their own affairs if they liked to control them. ‘They had obtained the approval of the Chief Judge of the Supreme Court of the Btate of New York to their doing so—(cheers)— and they had also secured the means of honest and capable management and the co-operation of the Court; and now the question was whether, as men of business, Fespecting each other’s rights and feelings, they could ‘nite in erecting machinery whereby a plan could be devised to make the concern financially sound; but above all, there must be united action. Their object, he took it, was to give to every bondholder his capital, and to leave a reasonable chance of dividends tor the | ference shareholders and the ordinary stockholders, “Hear, hear!’*) THE MATTER IN A NUTSHELL. The state of the matter was ina nutshell. They bad an annual claim against them in round figures of $1,000,000 for rent charges, o,and $4,000,000 yf bonded interest. They were now carn- ing only $4,000,000, und therefore _there was a deficiency of’ $1,000,000. If the line could be worked at sixty-five per cont, every bond- holder would be paid. In addition to what he had men- tioned, they had liabilities amounting to £800,000 There had been a good deal of confusion as to the float- NEW YORK HERALD, TUKSDAY, NOVEMBER 2, 1875.— Dundee, whom ne implored not to take separate action, would allow the commuttee to go on in their own way, in acouple of years the tirst consolidated mortgage bonds woukl be worth par, instead of, as now, 70, but if they pressed their course their stock would not be worth 60, He concluded by moving the adoption of the report of the committee of bondholders and share- holders, and in doing so urged them to be unanimous r decision they arrived at, (Loud cheers.) . Beapox, of the committee, having formally seconded the resolution, Mr. G. HomAN said none of the committee referred to by the Chairman had had any communication with Mr. McHenry as to his negotiations with respect to the Erie Railroad. ‘The CHAMMAN said he entirely accepted Mr, Homan’s statement, SPEECH OF MR. MORRIS. Mr. Morris, who was cordially received, then ad- dressed the meeting. In the course of his remarks, atier referring to the circumstances under which the committee was appointed and which led up to thed tation going out to America, he said he had bad great experience in these matters—alluding to the Grand Trunk Railway of Canada and the Great Kastern Rail- way—and it was insane to enforce legal proceed: What was without in the first place trying concession. required in the present case was quiet and peaceful ne- gotiations, and they had established in New York im- portant relations and a most satisfactory tone. results, He believed there was no doubt about making the Erie Railway produce aanually between $18,000,000 and $20,000,000 of gross traffic, and that hue had not to be made; it bad, indeed, any amou Delieved it was the interest of every single individual m the company that the programme set forth by the committees should be lollowed. He concluded by urg- ing the importance of self-denial, and, above all, the necessity for united action, (Loud cheers). Mr. Conyseaxe re echoed the remarks of the Chair- man as to the Atantic and Great Western and the working in harmony together. Asa large bondholder he urged the importance of union, but said there would inevitably bave to be a foreclosure, which, for the bene- fit of all Concerned, should be a friendly forectosure, ‘The CuarRMAN put the resolution for the adoption of the report, which he declared carried unanimously, amid cheers, He then moved the next resolution a8 follows:— ‘A COMMITTEE OF CONSULTATION APPOINTED, That a Committee on Consultation be appointed in ac- cordauce with and for the objects set forth in the memo- randum signed by Mr. H. J. Jewett and Sir E. W. Wat- kin, and dated the 6th of September, 1875, and that the following gentlemen be constitute rn with power to add to their number:—Sir E. W. Watkin, M.

Douglas, Mr. Leeming, M.P., Mr. W. Weir and Mr. G. Smith, Sir C. Buabon formally seconded the resolution, The CuaimMax, in reply to a question, said the amount held and represented by the gentiomen he had named was over $1,000,000 sterling, and they held every description of stock. (Cheers.) He then moved ‘that Mr. Conybeare and Mr. Miller be requested, to allow their names to be added to the committee.” (‘Hear, hear!”?) ried unanimously, ‘The Ciaiamax moved, and Sir C. Beavoy seconded, the next resolutfoi at the C hereby instructe such Special representativ may be willing to co-oper reorganization of the company, and submit the same to | a fature teeting for adoption.” to prepa mmittee. brief discussion as to the title of th Chairman and Mr. A cordial vote of thanks to the | Morris was then proposed, seconded and carried unani- mously. then prepare meeting referred to. the unanimity displayed by the meeting. ‘The proceedings then terminated. ATTEMPT TO THROW THE COMPANY INTO BANK- RUPTCY. On Thursday last the county of St. Loula, tnrough its ing debt, the redaction of which had not been so great as some persons imagined from the mere statements published. If, however, it was only a question of a deficiency of £250,000 a year and a question of paying | off the £800,000, things would be very simple. He thought he could get the £800,000 if he considered it | discreet to pay the debt, but he did not, and, so far as hhe was concerued, he would not recommend it, (‘Hear, | hear!) The matter in which lay the difficulty of com- | $mg to any decision that day was this:—In his report he proposed that Mr. Jewett should send them home, with the year’s accounts, which were due here at the end of November or the first week in December, a | complete balance sheet. (Cheers.) The Erie undertak ing was not se simple as it seemed, for they had ferri steamboats. manufactories, surplus lands, and many mil: | Mons of dollars of stock invested in other railroads, and | Defore be committed himself to lay before them ascheme of reorganization he wished to have every- thing brought before him. (‘Hear, hear!"?) He thought they would all agree tbat, till they had, as he proposed to ‘have, an independent and ‘special audit op the spot—(loud cheers)—they would hardly be in 4 position to decide anything but general principles on this serious and important matter. Part of the probable assets of the company were claims. They had a clitm against the London Banking Association, but it was only fair to those gentiemen to state that they could putin a fur answer to the demand. {A Voice—‘*What is the amount of the claim ’’’} He did not think it would be advisable to state precisely, but it was large. There were aiso claims against Messrs. Bischoifsheiin, Mr. McHenry and ‘the claim arising out of the celebrated Vanderbilt suit, the decision in which had been given in their favor by two to one in the Supreme Court of New York. Accord- ing to Judge Donohue, Commodore Vanderbilt was liable to refund the $3,500,000 and to receive the equiv- alent in stock at the day’s geen He, howeyer, bad , appealed, but his appeal could only be hpon the jues- tion of law. They were not to jose sight, eitner, of some complicated transactiong gf vast importance. { a SURPLUS, { Speaking under regerve of what the balance sheet | might show, he would be greatly disappointed if, when ‘ali these matters were wound up and settled, there was not a considerable surplus. Referring to the coal lands belonging to the company, he said there were, it was suggested, two weaknesse. They had given too much for the properties—he did not know to whom, but he ‘was determined this should come out—and some of them were away from the railroad, and it would be Becessary to bring them to the main line. They must be allowed time 80 as to make a complete job of this concern, and not be hurried into some arrangement which would lead to further misfortunes and further Mlusions. (Hear, hear!””) He believed they would here and there be able to make certain recoveries. He strongly advised them to support bim iu insisting, whatever it cost and however long it might take; that the capital account from 1867 to the present time should De submitted to audit, and that everybody should be held responsible for his malfeasance, if “malfeasance could’ be traced. (Hear, hear,” and loud cheers.) He knew his task was surrounded with diflicul- ties, and be expected much hostile criticism frum va- Fious quarters. There were one or two curious and in- teresting facts which he desired to mention. In 1865 | ‘the total nominal capital of the Erie Railway was 17,000,000, in 1867 $51,000,000 and in 1874 $135,000,400, Ing ab increase of 16) per cent, In 1867 there were 459 miles of main line, 314 of branches and 379 of double track and sidings, making a total of 1,152 miles; in 1874 thore were 459 miles of main linc—no change ever 1867—500 miles of branches, and an increase, as compared with 1867, of 195 miles of double track, mak- | ing a total increase of track of 381 miles, or only thirty- five per cent of mileage, us against 160 per cent of | tal. The £800,000 of debt to which he fad referred | owing to his having insisted that every tuing should come into the account. | FRAUDULENT DIVIDENDS. | ‘The main reason for things being in their present condition was that Mr. Watson declared in his time what he bad no hesitation in ceiling fraudulent ivi dends—(‘*Hear, hear!” and cheers)—and by other irregu- Jarities on the part of Mr. Watson the ailair had got ito mach neediess debt. Quoting frdm a statement pre. pared by Mr. Grant, he said the present Erie capital ‘was $141,000,000, of about £25,000,000 sterling, This ‘was selling in the market for onty £4,4C0,000, making the price of their secuiities, exclusive of leased Nines, agout £4,100 per mile—a less price than that fof which they could construct it. He thought, however, that it was a hopefal affair, for there ‘was so much room for improvement. Aliuding to the AUiantic and Great Western, he said for all traiue pur- ‘poses that line and the Erie were one, and there ought to be the closest union between them, which would in- duce considerable development and great improve- ment, each hive having its own particular advantages. ‘Hear, hear,”’) If they were honestly worked together believed they could be worked at an increased and increasing proiit.

(Hear, ‘earl and | cheers.) Alluding to what had been called “the res. | cue,” and severely criticizing the conauct of Mr. Jay | Gould and others, he said he believed ‘the res- cue" was @ great mistake, and had led to a worse | state of things than existed before. (‘‘Hear, hear!”) BETTER PROSPECTS IN VIEW. He thought there were now better prospecta in view. Mr. Morris, Mr, McFarland and he had had av inter- view with Judge Donobue, who had authorized him to tell those whom he represented that go long as share. holders honestly looked after their own interests, the courts of tue United States would thoroughly protect them.

A meeting of the unsecured creditors of the road was called at tho Fifth Avenue Hotel yesterday, but insuflicient notice having been given very few were in attendance. There were present General Clinton B. Fisk, treasurer and director of the Atlantic and Pacific Railroad; C. W. Bishop, representing the Cleveland rolling mills; Ed- ward Goodwin, a large stockholder of the Missouri Pa. cific; Mr. Herrman Rechtin, treasurer of St Louis county, and Frank J. Bowman, special attorney for the city and county of St. Louis, Mr. Bowman stated the reasons which had actuated | the city and county of St, Louis in instituting the pro- ceedings m bankruptcy.

The particulars of the catastrophe are as follows:—A construction train, consisting of an engine, a caboose and several empty gravel cars, lef Bound Brook, on the Easton and Amboy Railroad, shortly after seven o'clock A. M., carrying forty-eight laborers, who were to continue the laying of tho double track of the road, which now extends only as far as Bound Brook; Colonel Palmer P. Thompson, foreman of the railway gang, and the engineer, fireman and bakemen. The engine pushed the cars ahead of it, the caboose being directly in front, ‘The laborers were in the caboose. A passenger train from Easton was at the time nearly due at Bound Brook, and the construction train, in order to allow the cast- ward bound train to pass, was run off on the switch which is situated at Raritan Siding, near Somer- ville. While on the switch, waiting for the train from Easton, the boiler of the locomotive exploded, instantly killing Thomas G. Copie, the engineer; Allan King, a brakeman, who was standing on the rear platform of the caboose, and Henry Nicolai, an Italian laborer, who was sitting in the after part of the caboose. The noise of the explosion was heard five miles from the scene of the accident, and IP JARRED THE EARTH ‘as far away ag Bound Brook, which is two anda half miles from Raritan Siding. A Heratp reporter visited the place where the disaster occurred, and found that the boiler had been thrown 100 feet from where it ex- ploded, Eye witnesses say that in its course it lifted off a part of the roof of the caboose and made two com- plete revolutions before it finally struck the ground. When it did strike it dug a hole in the ground five fect deep, It had burst open from the fire box to the tubes, and the half nearer the cab was blown to atoms, The remainder was generally battered and rupturtd, The truck of the engine was blown fully 300 yards to the side of the track, and when found but one of its wheels was attached to it. The caboose was shattered terribly, almost its whole top and back and a large piece of its side being blown into splinters. Not a pane of glass was left im any window, The smokestuck of the engine could not be found. Colonel Thompson was blown Wypuah the roof of the caboose and over the telegraph Wire alongside of the road, which, he subsequently told his doctor, he could have caugnthold of in his descent, so close was he to it, He fei! on one of the railroad ties, which fractured his riba on the left side, and crushed them into his lungs, causing him to bleed internally to a great ex- tent. He was a very brave and kind hearted man. When brought back to Bound Brook, aithough suffer- ing excruciating agony from his wounds, he wanted to walk home from the depot, and said to the doctor “pooTOR, NEVER MIND ME, Go, and attend to thoge who need you more than I do, and come to me last,’ The Doctor replied:—"*You are hurt more than you think,” which remark after- ward turned out to be true, for the Colonel died before four o’clock. He was a very popular man in the town, though he has resided there only a few months. When | informed by the Doctor that he could not survive his be as) he coolly sent for a lawyer to araw up bis will, Patrick Feeney, a laborer, had both his legs and one arm broken, beside being badly scalded. He, too, suf- fered intense pain and died in the Bound Brook Hotel about nine o'clock in the morning. The explosion occurred about twenty minutes after seven o'clock A, M., when the train from Easton was insight, Had it been delayed only a few minutes loner, when the niger train was along- side.” the. fikiated locomotive, ‘the loss of life would have been terrible indeed, When the eastward train came up to the wreck it stopped, and | the work of assisting the wounded was participated in by passengers aud employés alike. THE DEAD AND MAIMED were at once put aboard the eastward bound train and conveyed back to Bound Brook. ‘There they were put under the care of Dr. Field, who upon examination | found that only eight of those who were on the unlucky train had escaped entirely from hurt. Fearing that he alone would be unable to properly attend to so many patients he telegraphed for Dr. Stillman, of Plainfield, who arrived very soon. THE INQUEST. Coroner J. P. Bush was notified of the disaster, and he immiediately empanelled the following gentlemen as a jury:—N. W. Prevost, Ephraim Meriett, Oscar Bush, Jolin Case, John Conover, Wm, Teter, E. H. Redfield, Jere, Statts, J. B. Van’ Doran, J. Lair, J. D. Ermete and Abram’ Whiteneck. The jury after viewing the dead bodies proceeded to the scene of the explosion, and then adjourned until Thursday. In the meantime those ‘of the injured men who lived about Bound Brook were taken to their homes, and about twelve were sent tu St, Michael’s Hospital, in Newark. A very few had broken limbs, but a large majority were suffering from scalds. Dr. Field said last night that only two or three of the men then uudcr his care were seriously wounded, It was announced late in the afternoon that Patrick McGee, one of the men who had been seut to Newark had died on the way there, but it has since been ascertained that, al- though very badly scalded, McGce 1s not yet dead. Several of the other men’ had very narrow escapes fromdeath, William Carleing and Patrick McGarran stated to the Heraup reporter that they were thrown forty or fifty feet into the air, Allan King, the brake- man, when found, had NOT A PRAGMENT OF CLOTHING ‘KIPLE SHEET. | ances; and at Ta¥itgppa also there appeared to be a onhim. There are several theories as to the cause of | the accident among the residents of Bound Brook. One is that there was not suflicient water in the boiler. It is known that the train left the depot in the morniog without taking, in any wale, vat the Tailroad authorities claim that she was full at the time of leaving, having ‘watered up” on Saturday night, Another theory is that which is caused by the statement of one of the men who were in the train, to the effect that the engineer was lorcin cold water into tie boiler with the projcotce at the ume of ie explosion, and % ‘third is at tho ehgine was built ~ old iron and was, on that account, unfjt for tise. The agent of the road denies this, and says that the engine, Cen- tralia by name, was built by William Mason, at Taun- ton, Mass., of new and good iron, and was about nine years old. ’ Copie had been in the employ of the Easton and Amboy Railroad only a few months, but was con- sidered to be a first class engineer. AN EXPLOSION IN NEWARK. On Sunday night it was discovered by Mr. Flarell, of Market street, that the gas was escaping in the cellar of his house. In order to locate the leak in the pipe Patrick Dowd and Patrick Quinn went into the cellar with a lamp, the flame of which exploded the gas The men were stunned by the shock and but for the alacrity of the firemen, who came to put out the fire oc- casioned by the explosion, they would have been burned to death, NAVY INTELLIGENCE. MOVEMENTS OF VESSELS ON THE EUROPEAN STATION—RBEPORT OF BEAR ADMIRAL WOR- DEN. Wasuinaton, Nov. 1, 1875, Rear Admiral Worden, commanding the naval forces on the European station, reports to the Navy Depart- ment from Villafrancha, October 15, that he left South- ampton waters, England, on the 30th of August in his flagship, the Franklin, arriving at Lisbon, September 5, the Juniata having arrived there on the 3d of Septem- ber and the Alaska came in and anchored on the 9th, from Havre, both ships having sailed from Southamp- ton waters on August 28, as heretofore reported. On the 9th the Jumiata went to sea with orders to visit ports onthe African and Syrian coasts, Nothing of special interest occurred during the visit of Admiral Worden at Lisbon. Oar Minister, Mr. Moran, was absent from the city. The usual official courtesies were exchanged between himself and the civil and military authorities ashore and afloat, On the 6th of September the Franklin and Juniata were dressed with tho Portu- guese flag ot the main and a» salute fired, joining in honors paid by the Portuguese and other ships of war to tho King, who was that day afloat, and on the 8th the ships were again dressed, notice having been received that the Portugucso ships would so honor the anniversary of the Queen's birthday. On tho 16th of September the Franklin gailed from Lisbon for Algiers, arriving there on the 19th, with the Juniata in company, having fallon in at sea with that vessel, which had made trips to Gibraltar, Tetuan and Oran,’ At anchor in the har- bor of Algiers waa found the French Mediterranean squadron, consisting of the iron-clad ships Armide, bearing the of the Rear Admiral, Bouies; the Thetis, Alma, Joan d’Arc, Reino, Bianche and two wooden vessels, and on the 28th the iron-clad Magenta arrived, with Vice Admiral Roze, who had just as- sumed command of the squadron. The Juniata sailed on the Z2d for a cruise to the ports in Egypt and Syria, and the Frankiia left on the 23d for Bavgeloua, arriving there on the 26th and finding in the harbor the Spanish frigate Novas de Tolosa and three gunboats, The customary courtesies wore ob- served, anion the 4th of October the Franklin was dressed and fired a galate at sunrise and noon tn com- pany with the Spanish vessels in port in honor of the anniversury of the birthday of the King’s father. Tho Alaska was at Villafrancha on the 9th of Octo- ber. Captato Semmes reports that he found at Cartha- geno, whore the Aiaska had been and where there is naval station, several vessels of war in commission and Jaid up in the basin, and an unfinished trou-clad on the stocks, the work on hor being suspended. In the middie of the harbor the iron-clad Tetuan, burned by the msurgents about two years ago, still re- mains sunk with a portion of her upper works above water. Except in the finely kept navy yard there was no evidence of thrift and the town had the appearance of acity going to decay, It was reported to Captain Semmes that a very uneasy political feeling existed at Oarthagena At Valencia the government maintains at present a foreo of 16,000 infantry, 2,000 cavalry and 24 Diccos of artillery t© suppress Apprebended disturb. large number of * ‘The Con, arrived at Villafranca, from Naples, on the of October. ‘Phe Franklin was to leave Villafrancha on the 23d for Naples. yn, from the ORDERS.

Tho old United States steamship Ohio, which for the past twenty years has done service as a receiving ship at the Boston Navy Yard, has now been temporarily with- drawn for the purpose of receiving a needed and thorough repairing and refitting. Probably this vener- able craft has received and sent out more seamen for active service than all the other receiving ships in the American navy together, It was intended when she wag withdrawn to have her fitted up for a coalvessel for the Boston yard, but the Board of Survey, having made a full examination and found her as sound and solid as when first built, it has been recommended that she bo fixed up and then continued in her old service as a receiving vessel. This recommendation will, in all probability, be carried out, but it does not follow, necessarily, that she willbe re- tained at the Boston yard. The Ohio was designed and built by Mr. Henry Eckford, a native Scotchman, who ‘was distinguished for building war vessels for the lakes during the war of 1812 Mr. Cooper, in his “Naval ioe ‘mention as matters of fact, and for (he purpose of sup jlogophy that Ly ity of from eight Ww tw jousan d circumstances, as herewith ia seat ya ara election of the ear bm also predict the tire republican inte Tike, and it is likely that the. jority of members in both branches of the ward also be republican, KINGS COUNTY POLITICS. PROSPECTS OF THE STATS, COUNTY AND CIT3 TICKETS—VIEWS OF LEADERS AND CANDI+ DATES, Ms The greatest excitement prevailed among the work- ers of both democratic and republican parties in Kingt county yesterday, All sorts of devices have been re- sorted to, Every householder in the city is in receipt of innumerable circulars and curiously amalgamated tickets, so that it behooves the readers of the HeraLp who are untrammelled by party lines to closely scan their ballots and know thoir candidates before going to the polls to-day. The most curious devices have bee resorted to in the mannor of bunching the city and State tickets in order to deceive the unsophisticated voters, a AT THE HEADQUARTERS, Republican and democratic headquarters presented a lively scene last evening. At the republican rooms General Jourdan, Silas B. Dutcher, Albert Daggett and other manipulators of the party wires were in attend- ance and distributed the bags of ballots to the men who are to work at the polls to-day. At democratic head- quarters, Court street, there were present among others prominent in the front lines of that party ex-Register Hugh McLaughlin, Presidont of the Board of Aldermen Jacob L Bergen, General Thomas Carroll, Commissioner W, A. Fowler, of the Board of City Works; Judge Delmar, Judge Wais! Coroner Nolan, ex-Street Commission rt Furey, County Clerk George Herman, Commis- sioner John Pyburn, Congressman Archibald’ M.

Asa mark of confidence in him he received permission to build the Oho after his own design, and all who ever saw her at Sea can bear testimony to her ukrivalled qualities as aship of war. She is 2,757 tons, and was built in New York, her keel being laid in 1817, and tho launch tak- ing pI three years later. She was rated as a 74, but mounted 84 guns, and was larger than any British 120- gun ship built at the same time. She served oaly two terms at sea—one in 1838 up the Mediter! and the other in 1847-50 om the coast of Mexico, South America and the Pacific. While used as a receiving ship sne has had a sloop-of-war’s masts and yards, but these are now down to the lower masts. THR WABASH, which has been fitted up to take the place of the Ohio, has already gone into commission. She is to be fully manned and equipped and kept in the same condition as though in active service, and, of course, will be one of the attractions of the yard.

Deputy Coroner Dr. Marsh made a post-mortem ex- amination of the remains of Antoni Bechtold, mur- dered last Saturday night by Frank Burns, at the saloon No. 408 West Thirty-first street, and reports as | follows:—¥ound a lacorated wound of the scalp, two inches long, over the left side of head; considerable amount of blood extravasated beneath the scalp on left side of head; large clot of blood found compressing the middle and posterior lobes of the left hemisphere. of the brain. There was fissure of the left parietal and temporal bones, also two stab wounds of the left side of the back, one an inch long and three inches deep, extending downward and toward the right; the other half an inch long and one inch deep, Death was due to compression of the brain from extravasation of blood y pro! : ty, as an evidence of their sincerity to sustain Governor Tilden in his reform measures, For the city ticket they say 000 majority will satisty them.

HUGH M’LAUGHLIN, Ex-Register McLaughiin, the ‘‘itoss,” made a brief speech, in which he said that this was the last time before the battle that tlie forces would be mustered to- gether, Tho workingmen, he said, could not. live under the republican rule, The latter party had placed in nomination men with the hope of taking off demo- cratic votes, Personal considerations should now be set aside, and they should vote for democrats only. No man on the republican ticket can represent the principles of the democratic party. Every one should spare a and work for the ticket that would strengthen ernor Tilden in his reform measures, Republicans are only after the spoils of office. Te was tho dut of all the members of the General Committee to do their utmost duty to day, and leave aside all eons feeling. Each man should be able to say on Wednesday morning, “What do you think of my work?” ‘I can tell,” said he, “on Wednesday whether a man has done bis duty or not.” He asked every one present to go and see their friends and ask them to go to the polis and do their duty. They should. seo that all the tickets were put up in sets last night. If alive and well next election, he intended to address the committee. The poly question to be decided at the ballot box to-day is whether they should have a liberal or an autocratic government in Brooklyn. Colonel A. C. Davis, the eminent reformer, then cam forward and said he intended to do all that lay in his power to forward the election of Mr. Rowe, the re; democratic candidate for Mayor of the city of Brook- lyn. He was in favor of a liberal democratic govern- ment. Mr. Schroeder he thought to be an unit map for Mayor, while Mr. Rowe is qualified in every sense of the term. He, the speaker, would stand by the polls all day and work for Rowe against Schroeder, whom he denounced as ‘‘a miserable fraud upon the ere (Applause.) The members of the committee then left the room, each for his ward, to labor for the success of the ticket. ‘The vote to-day will be unquestionably large, no lesg than 76,000 votes being registered, BROOKLYN CANDIDATES TO BE VOTED FOR TO F DAY.

The election in Massachusetts this time is about as in” different and uninteresting an affair as can well be imag- ined. It is generally admitted that the contest, as be- tween the democrats and republicans, will be an anu- sually close one, and yet this circumstance scarcely ex- cites a ripple of thought or mterest except among the politicians, During the last month there have been | industrious efforts to stir up something like popular enthusiasm, but all exertions in that direc tion have been lamentable failures, Rallying meotings of all sides have been held all the way from Cape Cod to Berkshire; the aspirants for office, local political orators and dispensers of political eloquence from abroad have talked themselves hoarse and sick, and yot | the community at large seem to be almost oblivious of the fact that there is an important election demand- | ing their careful attention. Such a state of affairs has | been unknown in Massachusetts politics for many | years, and that it should exist at this particular and critical period in the history of both the leading parties is indeed inexplicable, It would seem that national as well as State issues would demand, on the eve of a Presidential issue, more than ordinary vigilance in such a State as Massachusetts, THE SITUATION AND PROSPECTS. Those of the republicans and democrats who happen to be vitally interested will await with alarm and cu- riosity the counting up of the returns to-morrow night, ‘The labor reformers and politicians—the former with Wendell Philips for their standard bearer, and the lat- ter with Mr. er, of Beverly, for their gubernato- rial candidate—are to be recognized in the contest only so far as they draw irom the strength of the two leading parties, and it 18 not rash to anticipate that ninety-nine out of every hundred votes which ‘these candi Te- ceive will be thrown by republicans. Then thore are a few moro republicans, and democrats as well, who will bolt the regular party tickets and exercise their Tight of suffrage in favor of Charles Francis Adams and General Bartict. This movement, however, is Lillipa- tian in dimensions, and je confined to Mr. Samuel Bowles and a few of his Western Massachusetts friends, Excepting the discontented republicans just described, Mr. Rice will get the balk of the republican vote which is thrown, and if there was to be anything like a full vote his election might be reckoned as a certainty, AS T0 GOVERNOR GASTON, it is idle Lhe A that Governor Gaston, as a demo- erat, would not have been elected a year ago except with the aid of republicans. Their own candidate was astern prohibitionist, as well as otherwise unpopular, and hence it was that Massachusetts became suddenly pony juished for electing a democratic Governor. Mr. Rive, like Gaston, is liberal on the liquor question, and it is reagonable to su , therefore, that the dis- affected republicans of a year ago will now return to the party fold. But this is not all that will operate against Governor Gaston. Last St. Patrick’s Day, when the Irish procession halted at the State House, he refused to review them, on the ground that the law did not allow the parading of an armed body of men m the publig streets, He did not attempt to enforce the law forbidding such a parade, but he refused to ‘witness the violation of the law. Republican Governors for years had viewed these Irish processions, but it was reserved fora Governor whom Irishmen had helped clect to make the first refusal. It is scarcely neces- sary to ask how these Irishmen will vote to-morrow. His sending of the military down to Fall River at the request of the manufacturers was another act which will cost hima many votes which were thrown for him a year ago, It is also charged, and pretty well proved, that the Hoosac tunnel expenditures which he author- | 14—Thomas J.

The introduction of a sectarian issue into the canvass: in Essex county, N. J., renders it a matter of the greatest uncertainty as to how the election will go to day. Tho democrats have put their best foot foremost: in the nomination for Senator of Mr, George J. Ferry, @ most popular citizen of Orange, His opponent ig Mr. W. H. Kirk, a Newark builder, who is charged by the opposition with being extremely bigoted in church matters, but a greater tax evader thau Governor Ward. The candidates foy Sheriff are both unexceptionably popular men—Daviad. J. Canfield, republican, and Henry T. Dusenbury, demo crat, Both have been very ili lately, but the siatement: about Mr, Camfeld being in the lunatic asylum simply arose from the fact that in order to escape Pahang strikers he went there several nights to sleep—his posi- tion as chairman of the Freeholders’ Committee om Lunacy giving him the entrée to the institution.
