GOVERNOR. TILDEN A Visit to His Excellency at His Resi- dence at the State Capital. THE CREAT REFORMER AMONG THE ROSES. of BEd How the Bachelor Governor and Prospective Bachelor President Spends His Time. Avwany, Jaly 1, 1876, Your correspondent called on Governor Tilden at Bis barming residence on Eagle street and found him “up to his eyes in business.” ‘ihe Governor lives ina roomy double house which stands cosily embowered In lealy vines in the centre of a beautiful sloping gar- of gome two or three acres situated, about haifa mile’ south of the Capitol, The house faces almost directly to the east and is one of the most elevated in location for some distance round about. The grounds are beautifully kept, with frequent flower beds, splendid shade trees, a hot house and grapery. The vines that Bpriug up on either sidewal! cluster about the veran. da and shade the open windows puff of tho passing breeze. On entering, the Governor greeted me cordially und, soon alter, disengaging him- Belf, invited me to walk with him through the grounds. *T selected this place,” said the Governor, as we Passed out on to the lawn, “‘as I intended to spend the greater part of the summer in Albany I wanted to Secure not only room enough for a residence and space to, transact some business, but I wanted to enjoy at the game time some of the comforts of country life.” In these respects the Governor must be allowed to Dave succeeded admirably. The house is cool and spacious, divided by a long hall, on one side of which is a banasomely (urnished parlor, with a lew choice paintings and several valuable photographs On the other sido is the Governor's library. Here he sits at a table strewn with papers when attending to business at home. Communicating with this room are two other apartments on the same side, in which aia clerks and messeugers attend to their duties and ewait bis orders, As the Governor \s easily approached, being-a thorough democrat per- Bonally as well as politically, his visitors are numerous, He has the habit of not seeming to bo bored by the famiharty of his visitors He reccives all alike, but he has a happy ‘acully for promptly dismissing such as havo really no business with him. Puring our visit to the grounds I occasionally tried to get at the Governor's views on topics of political / Anterest, but be always evaded the questions I put, I toid him I had no desire to ‘interview’ him in the gen- ‘trai accepiation of the term, but il he desired to make any statement regarding the action of the Conventiun I should be glad to hear his views. THR FADING ROSRS. “Come up this way,” said he, leading the way to the bot house. ‘On my way, while we passed a cluster of rose bushes, [ ventured to ask :— “Governor, how do you like Mr. Hendricks for Vice President?” ‘“*A week ago,” be said, pointing to one ofthe bashes, ‘that was covered with flowers,’’ aud then he added, without any change of voice or manner, ‘‘how quickly they fade!?? Not knowing what mysterious metaphor this remark may have contained, part concealed and part revealed, { did not continue the subject just then. We passed into the hot house and examined some plants on a plat- form im the centre. Venturing once more on this deli- sate ground, } said:— “Apropos of platforms, Governor, may I inquire whether you have had an opportunity to examine the platform adopted at St. Louis, and what you think of “r” “Will you have a rose?” was the Governor's re- sponse, and, without waiting for an answer, he cut off wo buds and banded them to me. I accepted the roses, but I onlyj became the more feeply impressed with the evident symbolic meaning of his excellency’s trifling with the roses, and again. I tapsed into silence, After we had passed through the grounds, and, entering the house, had gone to its upper stories tor a glimpse of the Hudson, I ventured again, ‘this time with a view to ascertaip the Governor's senti- meuts on reform. WhatI considered a plain question Im this directien only drew from the Governor a remark about the coolness of a certain sitting room which he pointed out to me, Then I concluded that all the answers which had so puzzled me before wero mere pourteous evasions of unwelcome questions. So I bored him no more about the political situation, NRW YORK IS TO GO DEMOCRATIC, The Governor was willing to talk freely on all but political topics. In this respect ne bas been particu. larty guarded since his nommation. Knowing how widely he is informed of such matters, many efforts have been made to get his views and are still being made without much show of success. I have learned, however, that he has spoken his mind to some intimate friends within the past few days. He was asked what he thought of the Empire State? “The State of New York,” said the Governor, in his calin way, “will go democratic next fall by a large majority. On the same topic being subsequently revived, he ed I have po doubt that the democratic majority in New York will be groater than in 1874." Frem the important part which he must know the Siate of New York is going to play in the coming cah- Wass it 18 but fair to assume, in view of these expres- Hons, that ho looks forward with confidence to the People’s determination to send bim with flying colors to the White House next fall. While we were strolling through the grounds the Governor pointed out the beauties aud advantages of the pluce with a zest that discovered how ho enjoyed them. He fonaled his two favorite rose bushes grow- (ng behind the house, which hid over a thousand bursting buds on a few days ago, and which were the Brat objects of his atiention on his return from New York last Tuesday. After passing through the garden the Governor visited his favorite saddle horse Topic. This handsome and docile pet immediately recognized his master and came for the customary lump of engar, a weakness of his the Governor hus indulged. The Governor bad no sugar, however, this time; but Topic tramped about the stable after bim as asual, more like a pet dog than a horse, Topic bas an objection to baiters, and as hoe must be left un- tied he has a partitioned stall all to himself, The Gov- erno! table ig Dol a very complete structure, as he baa it temporarily erected just to hold some driving traps ana accommedate six or seven horses. After gong through the grounds aud visiting Topic as cended to the top ‘nor’s house—a point which trom its elevation commands a splendid view of the Hudson and the surrounding country. OW GOVERNOK TILDEN PASSES THE TIME bere is a subject of interesied mquiry with many read- ers of the Heraup, An account of his daily routine be commenced with the statement that none of bis time is wasted, Indeed, he is left very little to bimeell.. He rises generally about cight o'clock in the morning, and breakiasts perhaps an hour later. Shortly after breakfast be goes to the Capitol, where he gencr- ally remains until about one o’ciock in the aiternoon. Returning, he receives bis (riends and atiends to what- ever official business he finds awaiting bim anti the din- er hour. Along in the xfernoon, about tive or six e’clock, ho rides or drives out for his health, and to this custom mainly be aiiributes the excellent health hoenjovs. In tho evening again he attends to bust- nese and receives his callers. If any one 1s curious to know what busivess be finds to occupy so much of his” attention at this season he can be readily answered. There 1 enough and to sare jor even a active man.

The other members of the Governor’s bousebold at Albavy are his sister, Mrs, Pelton, « sedate, matronly widew lady; her son, Colonel Pelion, and his wite and daughter, the latter a little lady of some twelve sum- mers, who bas lived with the Governor since she ' was two years old, So. it may be seen that the bachelor Governor and — prok- pective bachelor President i8 as pleasantly surrounded socially as most married gentlemen, He has his,pets, and they all scem to encovrage and repay his Kindnesses, In the event of nis elecuon, should such be the resul of the eo.ning canvass, Mra.

For the time being there is an end to ail hon- est reform on the democratic side, and the truly inde- pendent citizens who do not beireve that they can serve two masters will have to look in another direc- tion and centre their hopes elsewhere, ANTI-TAMMANY JUBILATION. , MASS MEETING AT IRVING HALL-—TILDEN AND HENDRICKS TO WIN THE CONTEST BY A LARGE MAJORITY. ‘A mass mepting of the ant!-Tammany democracy was hold at Irving Hall last evening to ratify the recent nominations at St. Louis, Despite the heat there was present an entbusiastic assemblage. Handsome and appropriate decorations adorned the hall, the main platiorm being graced by a splendid portrait of Wash- ington, A band of music contributed to enliven tho procecdings, which, as might be expected, were ex- ceedingly harmonious, Many prominent politicians wore in attendance, and throughout the evening thero seemed to prevail but one opinion as to the result of the coming Presidential eléction. Shortly after o:ght o’clock Mr. Emanuel B. Hart called the meeting to order, and in the course of a few woll directed observations stated the object of the meeting, Which was to ratify the nom- tnation of Tilden and Hendricks.

"The speaker, referring to the defeat of Jobn Kelly, characterized that gentleman as ‘a mass’ of egotism seli-concert which would = h us believe pig-headed obstinacy to be statesmanship; which would force its will, 06 only upon the people of this city and this State,’ but actually upon the people of the United States; which would undertake to dictate, in narrow-mindedness and personat hatred, the serection of the candidate to pe resented to the whole democracy of the Umon. that element of Tammany Hall is against Governor Tilden, and Lam glad itis against him.

Wasnixctox, July 1, 1876, The Suprome Coart of the United States have de- livered opinions in the following cas CONMERCK AS AVPECTED BY WAR—WIEN IT BECOMES UNLAWFUL GOVERNMENT MUST DECLAUM No. 10, Edward Matibews, platntif in error, vs. Nol- son McSiea— In error to the Court of Common Pleas for the city aud county of New York.—The judgment which this writ of error brings before us for review was given by the Court of Appeals in affirmation of a judag- ment against the plainufl in error n the Court of Com- mon Pleas in the city and county of New York, The original cause of action was (iuter alia) an acceptance. of a bill of exchange by toe fim of Brander, Chambliss & Wo. ot New Orleans, it being alleged that Matthews was at the time of the acceptance » member of that firm. The bill of exchange was dated April 23, 1861; mado paya- ble in cne year to the order of Mestea, V & Co., and it was accepted by Brander, Chambliss & Co. on the day of its dat The principal defence, and the only one which presents a federal quoation, was that at tho time when the acceprance was made the defendant Matthews was a resident of the S.ate of New York; that the other members of the Orm, also made detend- ania in tho suit, were residents of Louisiana, and that before the acceptance the copartnersiip was dissolved by the war of the rebellion. This defence was not sus- t din the Common Pleas, and the judgmentof that t was affirmed by the Court of Appeals. ‘The single question, theretore, for our consideration, is whether the partnership was dissulved by the War before April 23, 1861; that the cnvil war had an ex- Istence cominencing before that date must be accepted ag an establixhed fact. This was fully determined in the prizy cases (2 Hiack., 635), and it is no longer open to dental. Presidenv’s proclamation of April 19, 1861, deciaring that he ed it advisable to set on de of the ports within the States of Souib A, Alabama, Florida, Mississippi, Louisiana and Texas, was a recoguition of a war waged, and conclusive evydevuce that a state of war existed between the people inbabiting those States and the United States, It must also oe conceded, asa general rule, to be one of the immediate consequences of a declaration ot war and the eflect of such a state of war, oven wien hot declared, that ail commercial intercourse and deal- ing between tho subjects or adberents of the couten ing powers 18 uniaw!ui and is interdicted. The reasons for this rule are obvious. A state of war may exist and yet commercial imtercourse be lawful, They are not necessarily inconsistent with each other. Trading with a public enemy muy be authorized hy the sover- eign aud even to a liwited extent by a militery commarter, Such permissions, or licenses, are partia! suspensions of laws of war, but not of the war itsel, In modern times they are very commor In England Heenses are granted directly by t Crown or by some subordinate officer to whom the authority of the Crown has been delegated, either by spectal instroctions or by an act of Parliament. Inthe United States, as a geveral rule, licenses are issued under the authority of an act of Congress; but in spe- cial cases and for purposes immediately connected with the progecation of the war they may be granted by the authority of the President ag commander-in-chief of the inilitary and naval forces of the United Stacie, It is heid that on- tit the President tseued bis proclamation of August 16, 1861, in pursuance of the act of Jaly 13 of that yea commerce between the parties was pot uulawful. The enactinent that commerce should be unlawful after | Such proclamation implies that it ig iawfal until euch | proch mation. The Court of Appeals was, theretore, | right in bolding that the partnership im this case was not dissolved by the war when this acceptance was | me Affirmed. Mr. Justice Strong delivered the opinion. cRU 1O TURTLES. | BERGH VS. BLACKFORD—AN INTERESTING TRIAL IN THE COURT OF SPECIAL SESSIONS. A novel case came up yesterday in the Court of Special Sessions, before Juntices Wheeler, Bixby and smith. The defendant was Mr. Eugene G. Blackford, | ot No. 80 Futtom Market, dealer in turtles, and the prosecution was represented by Mr. Henry Bergh, President of the Society for the Prevention of Cruelty | to Animals. Mr, Blackford was his own counsel, Officer Field, one of Mr Bergh’s egents, was the first witness called. He teatified that he visited the place of business of the defendant on the 3d of last June, and vo turtles lying on their apertures through which the cords passed were clotied with dry blooa, and upon squeezing the flesh blood oozed out One tartie tn particular, which he (witness) examined, bad a look of physical agony; its eyes were ginzed and duil and partially upturned.

TE ARABE New Ye To tne Epiror or tik Hera. Your statement in the Henan of to- the nine destitute Arabs, while in seems to cail for some additional explanation from me. The fact that these mou are Arabs by no means estab lishes their claim to be Turkish subjects. They have no passports, and without a passport the poorest Turk need not leave his home. They have, therefore, no official clam upon me, and I bave no means of know- ing that ther are not French subjects. Never- theless, in the Interest of common homanity, [ have extended every aid to them in my power. ing that they were uot chargeable to the Commiskion- ers of Emigration my assistant sent them to the Com- missioners of Charities. They were ta! in the. cars to Third avenuo and Eleventh street, aud on the re- fusal of Mr, Kellock to provide for them my assistant procured shelter for them at Castle Garden, first pro- viding them with food. They are now in a room ad- joining my office and have been provided with food by me sinco their arrival. The relation of the lurk- ish Consulate to destitute Turkish subjects is pre- cisely the saine as that of all other foreign consulates, the difference only being in the existence of variou benevolent societies. to which the representatives of other countries have recourse, the small number of resident Turks preventing organized assistance among them. I will venture to say, however, that in propor- tion to their number no resident foreigners have done more to assist destitute emigrants than the Turks and Armenians ot this city. If not in the province of the Commissioners of Chari- ties to provide for these men I should be gind to know where the responsibility rosts, a 1 can hardly believe that in so large and generous a city as New York they can be allowed to suffer for food and shelter? Yours respecttully, EDWARD SHERER, Acting Turkish Consul, ILLUMINATING THE CITY HALL An experiment im alluminating the City Hall was made last evening about eight o'clock, in the presence ot Commissioner Campbell and other city officials, It ie designed to have every window in the entire building a perfect blaze of light to-morrow night and again on Tuesday might, and that the affair may be corried ont with proper éclat it was thought necessary to experk ment last evening, Accordingly, twelve candies wore placed in each of the windowsabove the ground floor, too lower windows being tilumtnated by gas. On the coping above the main entrance, front of the building, were placed five colored Janterns. When all the candies and g Jots were lit the effect produced was very pleasing, It ‘did not suit Commissioner Campbell, however, and he at once gave directions to have sixteen candles imstead of twelve placed in each window to-morrow night, Owing to the fact that the gas pipes in the building are small their capacity for admitting a sufficient flow of as to produce a proper illuminating eflect even to the first story is questioned by the Coinmissioner, In any event a sufficient number of candies will be on hand, 0 that the pable may expect a grand illumination og the night of the Fourth.
