iA ‘ ~ them Pyce-aam times, and are now engaged in of them. Rerorrsx—Iin using the term “railroad men’? how eomprehensive do you intend it to be understood? Mr. Puegu—I mean that peculiar combination, repre- wented by such meu as Tom Scott or Jay Gould. It has been frequently asserted, aud not doried, that Jay Gould is the proprictor of the New York Tribu: assertion of the truth of which there is almost conclt sive evidence in the fuct that the Tribune, which has been for several years advocating ‘‘purity of .adminis- tration in public affairs,” abates none of tts zeal in the support of Blaine’s candidacy. Rerortsx—From the facts you have stated what in- ference do you draw of Blaine’s prospects in the Cou- ‘vention ? ‘Mr. PoucH—That he will not lose on Wednesday or Thursday any of his extraordinary por Un the contrary, , like him- self, will become determined and defiant by the very exposures lately made. How mauf of the appointees pained as de! from any of the States may be frightened by the weight of public censure is a ques- Won of consi: le interest, but I do not believe it is a question of serious doubt. They bave been chosen tor the place and have received consideration for it, and will be holden strictly to their promises. Blaine’s votes will stick. The great body ol his supporters, in truth, have ne second choice, and can have pone, be- cause there is no other candidate who can accomplish the pu o tor which Mr. Blaine was selected, that of iving the combined railroad and corporate interests of nited States, apd especially of the Pacific and the Bew States, a foothold in the Presidency and the gov- ernment of the United ace means of which they an regain the yer which . they lost by the explosion of the Créai} Mobilier scheme, 1 believe that Blaine will receive on the first bailot every vote that bas been promised to bim, and that his vote will be consider- ably increased on the second ballot; and unless there be that of which I see but little Dope. a the frends of all the ot can sincere friends, I mean, not those who cast their votes by way of compliment or compulsion—I am im fearful expectation of the nomi- mation of Blaine on the third baliot, Tnose men who talk of distributing his assets after the first ballot had better take care that he does not dispose of a large ion of their estates on the second aad the third Tt must be remembered, also, tuat tbe rail- reads have suffered considerably during the last two or three years by the persecution of the {cual bag in the Western and Nort! tern States, and by very se- YVore legisiation in some instances, So that the rail- Foad companies are in a position that it behooves them not merely to protect themselves against further at- taoks in that direction, but to recover the position of great prosperity which they enjoyed until the year 873 ‘This combination oi railroad interests acts ly and unitedly, and with a spirit of deflance of Wme himself set an example in the House of Representatives, That is thoreal story, to my mind, end explains the whole campaign. Rwrortar—But the railroad combination of which you speak is composed of democrats as well as republi- cane? Mr, PuGn—That is true, and they will be in both con- ventions The democrats will help th publicans for Blaine, and the republicans will assist th ‘Bt. Louis in tho selection of their candy believe Cameron, either the old man or t! n, will be able to take from Blaine the voto of Pennsylvania on the Arst or second ballot. It {a a question, however, of the Sameron influence, aided by the administration on the one side as against the Penasylvania Railroad Company and all its officers, stockholders, agents and empioy 6s on the other. bc Smeg ae here do you think Bristow stands in the race Mr. PoGu—I think he took the fleld too late, Taking the Bristow Club here or in Maesachusotts, tor erro T do not think they amount to anything in a politi sontest. The old gentlemen make handsome speeches and retire to bed early; the mon engaged in business think thoy have performed their whole duty by sign- ing the constitution and contributing a handsome sum wo the expenses of the club; the younger men meet at aight at the Grand Hotel or College Hall, There isa tood deal of oratory and apparently a Inrge amount of dusiness. But it is all of no account in a political con- ‘est. Jimmy Fitzgerald can pick up half that number af irisnmen aud accomplish twice as much, unless it should be on one of those rare and extraordinary occa- ous when a sentiment of pubhe danger bursts all bounds, The difficulty with the Bristow men is that they have no leader, we is Blaine’s leader, or who is Mor- 8? Mr, Pccu—Biaine ig his own leader, and « capital one for the part he plays, Morton is own leader, a Man of great ability and unflinching courage, There is no comparigon possible be.ween him and Hend- ricks. Morton was a democrat when I first knew bim. In those days the democracy was governed by two men, Jessie D. Bright and Joseph A. Wrizht, the for- mera man of rare ability, the othera curious and in- acrutable personality. Bright managed to get the gaberaatorial office in Indiana,and alterward sent him as Minister to Prussia, and thenceforth Bright had the command until the breakdown of the party in In- diapa tn 1860. Bright nover did do justice to Morton, and it is not singular, therelore, that when Bright com- mitted himeelf to the Kavsas-Nebraska bill, in 1854, Morton should embrace that opportunity to cut the ier hig ng party and enter into a new political organi- jon, . Raronter—What about Hayes? Mr. Puga—His chan: would be good if Bristow could hold opt five or six ballots. For if Bristow bas strength onough to deleat the others without being able to succeed himself, it would seem likely that Hayes should acquire ‘all that strength in the Convention. The difficulty, howe’ in draw ing inferenco from all these movements is the lack of the two-thirds rule; so Lhat a man may get a nomi- om the republicans who, with an equal degreo of strength or greater, could not secure it from the democracy. You cannot calculate as you can with the ‘two-thirds rule. A candidate may get the majority, and keop it ior a number of ballots, but that in its ‘would disclose bis inability to secure a two-thirds vote and he is immediately taken off the track. This was tho case with Van Buren at Baltimore in 1844, He had a largo majority of tne delegates, but it developed the fact of his inability to obtain a two-thirds vote, co that the name of James K. Polk was suggested, aud by the ebanging of votes swept the whole Convention. RerorteR—As to Conkling ? air, PuGH—Lt is possible that Conkling may get the Bomination on the third ballot. He ts a tenacious fel- low. It may be there would be a break right lor him, Mach will depend upon the strength of the men who adareas the Convention. Ag the editor of the Commer- cial said, ‘Thurman was slaughtered for the lack of a speakes Not wishing to intrude further upon the patience of Mr. Pugh, the reporter at this point took his leave.

Bostox, June 14, 1876, Boston’s great sensation just row consists of a patri- otic epidemic to preserve intact forever and ever that old historic South Church edifice, on the corner of Milk and Washington streets, The march of commer- cial progress seemed to say that it shomid come down, and a few days since the ancient revolutionary structure was knocked ‘off at auction for a figure vot much exceeding _— $1,000, the stipulation being that the building should be taken down at once, The buyer commenced the work of demolition the day after the purchase, whereupon the reverential antiques of the ‘Hub’ were inspired to a final effort to secure the purchase and preservation of the old landmark, anda public meeting to aid in the carrying out of the project was held in the church to- day. An enterprising business man has promised to furnish the last $100,000 of the $400,000 required to secure the building and its site, and through his offorts the sacred edifice has for the past two or three days been profusely decorated with flags, bunting and mottoes, all of which served to draw thousands of curious visitors to the vicinity, and in- spire a spontaneous and universal feeling in favor of the proposition to secure the preservation and perpetuation of the historic structure, Indeed, it may be said that the matter has fora day or so attracted more attention even than the Cincinnati Convention, and therefore it was not strange that there should be A generous turnout of citizens at the public meeting which was held to-day. Probably during all it varied history, was there congregated a greater audi- ence within her walls, The human beings who literally swarmed at her entrances wero numbered by thou- sands, Before the hour announced for the opening of the meeting had arrived the | galleries were closely packed — with ladies and gentlemen, and every inch of standing room onthe main floor was occupied. At the Washington street entrance the throng divided into two streams, sharing the entry way between thom, the one going in and the other coming out. The air inside the butiding, soon loaded with tho exhaled breath of £0 many persons, became insufferably hot and almost unbearable, and those who could do so made frequent journoys to the street for refreshment. A numerous body of police kept good order at the hall and doorways, and regulated the return of the good na: tured crowd, at times inclined to be borsterous, Precisely at twelve o'clock Alderman John T. Clark, the President of the meeting, as- cended the temporary platform erected under the sounding board, followed by Wendell Phillips, Rev. W. A. H. Murray, Hon. Edward F. Tobey, Charles W. Slack, Curtis Guild and George W. Simmons. The meeting was opened by Charles W. Slack, who an- nounced the following as the organization of the meeting :—President, Hon. John T. Clark, Chairman of the Board of Aldermen; Secretarios, Williams A, Hovey, Franklin Williams and J. Q. A. Johnson. Mr, Slack procoeded to address the meeting. OPEXING REMARKS OF CHARLES W. SLACK. Lapigs axD GuxTLkuex—I bave been requested by the Committee of Arrangements to make formal an- nouncement of the organization of this meeting. Be- fore doing so, howewer, | bave been requested also to make a suggestion in regard to the occasion on which we have assombled and what may be expected as se result of it. As you are well aware, this historic building in which we now stand, the property of the Old South Society of Boston, has been offered im its wwaterial of stone and brick and wood for sale. When wo look back over the history of our country, and particularly when at this time, in this sanctuary, we remember what our fathers did in this sacred and’ honored edifice, there is no son of Boston, no child Massachusetts, no native of New England that has not a throb of his heart, a hope that the old editice may be retained. (Applause. ) We have come to-day, friends, to see whether we can touch the great public throb of the community, so that there shall be nsive to it. golden offer. ings by which we buy this property and bold it for the beneilt of ‘community for all time to come; that it shall be, like the monuments of continental Europe, handed down from father to son for enerations. Why, look around in this hall and 1 pee my friends, that into this window, over this former pulpit, Dr. Joseph Warren climbed on the anniversary of the Boston massacre, when the doorways and the aisles were filled with armed soldiery, threatening him with death if he spoke; leaping into the pulpit he made that matchless oration on the necessity of in- dependence, which comes down to us to-day as lumi- nous as on the day he uttered it. In that gallery opposite stood the man. who, when the decision ‘was reported in rer to the tax upon tea, announced that at the end of Griffin's wharf was the ship with the contraband tea on voard, and then the whoop went up andthe band of men ran down yonder street to the wharf, where they threw the tea into the dock. Shail 1 tell you again that just 100 years ago, on this very floor on which you id, covered by two feet da half of earth and gravel, was the ring of the riding school when the British soldiery s.ood in the city of Be mn around these gall in this area the soldiery of George III. tried the mottel of their horses and turned this sanctuary of the Lord into a place of ren- dezvous, where the bar was in yonder gallery. The American Bana played “The Star Spangled Ban- ner," Hon. John T. Clark assumed the chair, and after a short speech introduced Wendell Phillips. REMARKS OF WENDRLL PHILLIPS. Lapixs ano GxxTLEMkN:—Why are we here te-day? Why should this relic of a hundred years old stir your pulses to-day 6o keenly? We sometimes find a com- munity or an individual with their hearts set on somo relic or great scene, and a8 we look on from emotion it seems to us an exaggerated feeling, a fond conceit, an unfounded attachment, too emphatic value set on some ancient tbing or spot that memory endears to them; but we have a right to-day, and this yearwe have aright beyond all question, and with no possibility of exaggerating its importance, to ask tho world itself to pause when this nation completes the first hundred yeara of its life, because these 40,000,000 of people ave at last achieved what no race, no nation, no age hitherto has been successful in attempting. We havo actually founded a Repablic on the unlimited suffrage of the millions, Wo havo actually worked out the problem that man, as God created him, may be trusted with self-government. — Once, a hundred years ago, our fathers announced this sablime and, as it seemed then, the audacious deci jon that God intended all men to be free and equal, all men without restriction, without qualifica- tion, without limit. A hundred years have rolied away almost since that great announcement, and to-day, with @ territory that makes ocean kiss ocean, Wiih 40,000,000 of people, with two wars behind h the sublime achievem: nt of having grappled the great faitn that Ubreatened tts central life and put every fet- tel the great Republic laun “3 into plause. ) world has no cue bance , its significance or its bearing out of the dust of history.

(Applause. ) fi * Rev. M. H. H. Murray then made atowebing appeat for the old relics, and would make it a Westminster Abbey. He would hang its walls with portraits of the Adams, Hancock, Franklin, Warren and other local pairiots of revolutionary fame, and he would ave the people gather within its walls and refresh and Le logget their patriotism by gazing upon those faces. He pledged himself that if the Boston people would come to the rescue of the Vid South be would go to Connecticut, his native State, and do all in his power to raise money for the purpose of pre- serving the dear old edifice. Hon, £. 8. Tobey joined heart and soul with the peo- ple in their wish to save the church and thought there should be a strong organization to carry out the wishes of the people, Curtis Guild then made a short address, in which he quoted many historical sentiments appropriate to the occasion and presented the follown “Voted, that the meeting respecttully request the following citizens toassume the responsibility of maturing conditions for the preservation of the Old South in caso the requisite sum is subscribed for its purchase within the specified period named by the late purchase of the edifice:—George ©.

GEWERAL SHERMAN'S ADVICE TO THE GBADU- ATING CLA8S AT THE MILITARY ACADEMY AND CLOBE OF THE ANNUAL FESTIVITIES. Wrst Port, June 14, 1876, To-day’s first event of importance was the award of diplomas to the graduating cadets, wherein each of the new officers received from the hands of the General of the Army the covetea document, tu pro- cure which four years of hard academic work are con- sidered well bestowed. General Devens, the chairman of the Board of Visitors, delivered a ‘congratulatory address to the graduates, in which ho praised their zeal and perse- verance, and complimented them on the successfel conclusion of their academical career, after which tho band played a stirring air, GRYERAL SHRMAN’S ADDRESS, A rustle of expectation and curiosity passed over the assemblage when Geueral Sherman's well known face appeared in front of the table on which lay the di- plomas. He said:—Young gentlemen, I am inyited by your Superintenaent, General Ruger, to be present in person when you receive the diplomas you havo earned by four ycars of hard and patient duty, and to say a few words by way of advice and welcome into the family of army officers, You have alroady had the advice of men bet- ter Gualified than I am; all that you want, and moro than you are likely at this moment to appreciate. I doubt not, also, that each and every one of you thinks he bas all tho inspiration required to attempt the example of Washington or Napoleon, and that you have made election of the corps or regiment on which you propose to inaugurate your army carcer, This 18 all natural and proper, and would justify me in cutting short the few remarks I propose to address to you, were it not for the peculiar circumstances in which we are placed, You know that this is the Centennial year of our national history, that a hunared Fourth of Julys will be crowded into this ono, when orators und poets will sing the national pratses from one end of the land to the other, and by the people gathered about you, Yourselves see that more than usual interest is attached to this occasion, You are the Centennial class, and by the country at large will be expected to carry into the next century ali that is yaluabie of the lessons and memories of the last, To the patriot, and more especially to the army, these are peculiarly valuable, During the revolutionary period there were umes of gloom and depression which alarmed men of undoubted intelligence, of military skill and great courage, Somo faltered, hesitated and yelled, Their names are already forgotten, whi.o those Who remained steadfast preserve a ‘fume moro pore and bright than in their own day und geveration. The same or similar occurred during the war of 1812, im the Mexican war, and still more in the great civil war which shook this Continent from centre to circamterence. You, who stood not in the dangers and drank not of the bittor cup, now profit by those lessons and will be held Aonply condemned if you allow any specious reasoning, any loose clamor, avy. possible cause to shake your allegiance to the caso of your country and of your flag. Stand by your country in sunshine and storm, revere the memories Of the past and, abovo all, love that flag which now waves over you, a# the symbol of all past glories and the harbinger ot greater yettocome. The pro- claimed mission of our government among tho nations of the earth was peace, yet we were born in war, bap- tized in war, and have had wars of aggression and de- fence. We have warred with our neighbors, with our- selves, and have had cternal war with the savage abo- Tiginal inhabitants, yet at each step of our progress good tnen have denounced war as necessarily inhuman, barbarous, to. be abhorred by God and man. This cannot be, Wars aro only the means to an ond, to be jadged by the» mo. tives and the events, like other human actions, In nature we behold the cloud, surcharged with electr ce ity, discharge ivs surplus to the earth th a thunderbolt, striking the just and unjust alike, and s0, human com- muniues, filled with prejudice and passions, regain o condition of peace and repose through the instrumon- tal-ty of war, involving alike the innocent and gutity, I remember once to have heard an eminent divine de- seribe his experiences as a prophet. When steam and electricity had brought all nations inte close relations he thought the time had come when the lon and the lamb would lie down together and that wars on earth would cease forever, He then ventured tho prophecy that if any Coristian nation should dare to war against another the whole world would arise and cry “shame!” But hardly nud the sound of his voice ceased when the boom of cannon was heard on the plains of Lombardy, and armed battalions were treading down the ripening grain and desolating the fair land of Italy in tho name of liberty and unity, Soon followed the American civil war, with its flerce apd unnatural passions, the almost unexampled destruction of life and property, in the name of liberty and unity, Again comes the sound of cannon from the distant field of Austria, soon followed by the Franco-Prussian war, when the German legions swept across beautiful France, loaving death and desolation in their rear, be- sieging her capital and levying an unexampiled tribute, These wars involved the most refined and culti- vated nations on earth, and 1 need not add that our prophet ceased his calling and concluded to leave to Him who holds the fate of nations pak hand to bring forth the millennium in His own rs ime. It is also related of our good pilgrim fathers, who had landed at Plymouth in midwinter, that while busied with the neccssary labor of building huts, in gathering firewood and food, they met In council to frame some sort of civil government for themsely and successors, and resolved to be “governed by the laws of God till they bad tine to make beer.” Moro than two bundred years have passed and they hi rot found a better code, 80 that we may fairly inter that justifies and necessitates our profession in, that man cannot escape it, and that at only allay its horrors and rigors, Every civilized nation ou earth recognizes this fact, and pro- vides in advance an arn:y for its defence and to vindi- cate its manhood and threatened honor. Ours is no exception, thoagh our military establishment is the smallest of all when compared with our popula- tion, wealth and extent of territory. For this very reason it should be the best in organization and substance, because when tho nocessity arises it must form the models and nucleus of that larger force which the occasion may call for. It is not our province, but that of Congress, to provide for the common defence and general welfare; ’tis not our province, but theirs, to make war and peace and to judge of the number and strength of the forces neces- sary. Our duty is at all times to render a cheertul obedience to their action and to repose with confidence in ther wisdom and generosity. And bere let me say that afer a partial visit to many of the educational establish. ments of Kurope and an examination of their systems, I believe this military academy compares well with the best, is more liberally endowed und sustamed and surpasses all in one respect—viz., that bere, at West Point, the officers of all branches of the service drink from’ tho same fountam of knowledge, im- bibe the same fidelity to honor and princiole, and form those personal attachments which must strengthen our common bond of unity and na- tional gespect, From this common sovrco go forth the annual supply to replace those lost by natural causes, thus adding uew lite to an establishment subject to ail the causes of human decay. Therefore, my young let me again remind you that you are but link in the great chain; that war normal condition —_ for which you genorous government; js =the have been trained by a in that though long ygars of peace may intervene, yet when war does arise you must be prepared for 1 great sacrifices and exalted duties, else you will be ad- judged recreant to the trust reposed in you. How can we forsee and prepare for such an event? many of you would, doubtless, ask, I answer do ench day what is appointed preserve your natural characiers and observe weil the actions of those having more experience than yourselves; follow no servile model, for no two men are alike, New events cali for new men, and those who suceceded in tho last war would fail in the next, There is a Providence that shapes our ends, Rough hew them as we may. Tho strongest intellect can peer but a short distance into the future. Mr. Webster well knew that slavery Was ineonsisiont with the spirit and genius of our government, yet he did not foresee how it was to ond, but war cut the gordian knot, and now all mem are freo to enjoy lite, liberty and hap- piness iu their own way. hough war is the normal condition of an army, when the profession rises to ite full dignity of a nob.e calling,s yet peace has ber duties also, which should be periormed with the samo zeal and sense of responsibilty as nthe tute of a nation is at ake, Some of you from choice will doubtiess go into the Stafl corps, where you will enjoy more ¢ase and present comfort, buat whore you stand in greater danger of losing that love of adventure and of hardy war inseparavie irom the character of the successtul soldier, Oihers will go into the artillery, where peace is likely to relax your efforis to obtain professional advancement, but where you will have abun- dant time for stndy and —_—smeditation, The mars of you, however, will pass into the cavairy apd infantry, destined to be busily occupied until the Indian problem finally settled, snd uatil our vast arca of territory is settled by civil States aud commani« Hes capable of being governed by civil officers. Until this is achieved, and it may not be even in your day, the probabilities are that you will be dispersed and scattered along the line of fronticr, pushed farther and farther as military posts become transformed into cities and towns, Map is naturally a social being and yearns for his kindred and friends, but where tho soldier js there should his affections be. He must practiee self denial, and learn to find companionship in his horse, his dog and his gun; he mnst commune with nature, draw inspirations from mountains, and rivers and plains. Like the self-banished duke in the forest ot Ardennes, he should realize that a contented mind carrics its own heaven along. He cailed his comrades about him and spoke theso words of wisdom and in- spiration:— Now, my co-nates and brothers in oxite, Tiath not old custom made this life more ‘Than that of painted pomp? Are not these woods More tree from peril than the enviens court ?

Reason as we may, here is a conflict of interest that can have but one re- sult. The Indian must be absorbed into the common whole or be must content himself on a rea- sonable share of the common domain This will probably form your first task in the great probiem of war, and all T can say to you is that the inevitable result should be reached with a due re- gard to humanity and mercy. I have thrown out a few of ‘these thoughts because 1 know you will soon have to grapple with them, and I believe they are not written down in any of your text books.

Alter the mortar practice the parade ground was l- luminated by firos on the parapet of Fort Clinten, and a grand display of fireworks is now taking place, which attracts an immense throng of spectators from the towns in the vicinity of West Point, in addition to the rogular hotel guests.

Bridget Barry, a poor working woman, living at No. 1,105 Third avenue, bought a sewing machine from an agent of the Weed Sewing Machine Company at tho price of $65, agreeing to pay for it by mstalments, She paid all the money except $10.

Driven to desperation, und almost starving, sho went yesterday morning to the warerooms of the Weed Company, at No. 26 Union square, and being refused either the sewing machine or the’ money she had paid on it, she grew almost crazy, and, grasping up paving stones from the street, atinashed the plate glass win- dows of the store. They were valued at $500. T. M. Coles, one of the managers of the concern, had her ar- rested. When she was brought betore Justice Duty, at the Washington Place Court, she told her story, and the Justice discharged her from custody, remarking that he was sorry he had no power to lock ‘up the sew- ing machine men who would hterally rob a poor woman of her very life blood. When the decision of the Judge ‘was rendered Mr. Colos, of the sewing machine com- pary, and his counsel were exceedingly anxious lest ‘the reportors should publish the fucts in tho case.
