This excite- ment was caused by a tragedy, thefthrilling and cxtraor- finary charactor of which {s sometimes equalled, but rarely, ‘if ever, excolled by accounts of deadly ren- tontres in Western journals, It was a tragedy com- plete in one chaptor, a tragedy which ended immedi- ately after it began, leaving no opportunity for Jersey justice to vindicate itself throagh the medium of the gallows or fer a bungling sheriff or bis sill more bungling deputies to furnish a disgusting spectacie, as in the case of the wretched Lusignani, at Morristown, a few years ago. The one act witnessed the begianing and the ending, tbe slaying of several inoffensive citizens snd the immediate slaughter of their three murderers, THE DETAILS. run as follows:—About three years ago there was em- ployed at Thomas H. Dawson’s ‘patent leather factory, corner of River and Madison streets, aman named Albert fhilborn, a peaceable, well-disposed workman, Soon ho was joived by two brothers, Charles and Adolph. These proved decidedly leas quiet and tractable. They brought with them some $1,500, the value of a small estate left them by their parents. The possession of this money seems to have made them exceedingly over- bearing and disposed to take umbrage at every slight. They went to work at Dawson’s with Albert. ‘The old bands called the new comers “greenhorns’? in a joking manner. This annoyed Charles and Adolph 60 that in about two weeks they, together with albert, the elder brothor, leit the factory Some say they were discharged, but this the foremap at Dawson's denies. While employed in the factory the brothers loaned a man named Weit- tel some $70. After their departure they earned for themselves a pretty bad name, Albert even having changed his peaceablo disposition to that of ® rowdy, One day the two stopped Mr. Charles W. Moyer, Dawson’s foreman, and in an angry, menacing manner demandéd the money borrowed by AVertzol. Of that he knew nothing, but ‘old them he would see Weitzel about it, He did so, and the result was that the money was all paid over in (nstalmen’ Meanwhile the brothers led a very loose life, They sought no employment and spent their time in beer drinking, smoking and carousing. They hired tooms at No. 101 Jackson street from Mr. Peter Milier and lived there, keeping bachelor’s hall in rude, uncouth une day, as if Weitzel had not paid them acent, Charley, the youngost of tho brothers, waylaid the former on the canal bridge, near tne factory, and demanded more money from him. Weitzel refused and Charles assaulted him atro_ ciously. But for a tim dinner can, which Weitzel tarried, he would have been STABBED TO THR HEART. As it was he was wounded. The result of this was \ho arrest of all three of the brothers, Charles was sent for 61x months to State Prison. This was about a year or eighteen months ago. Then it was that the brothers vowed vengeance on Weitzol and every one who had been in any way instrumental in consigning Charles to the doom of a convict." That this threat was no idle one is prover by the facts of the dreadful Slaughter yesterday, and by the additional fact that a targot, well riddled with pistol shots, was found in the tooms occupied by the Thilborns. Of late they nave been in many ways greatly disturbing cer- lain workmen in Danson’s factory, Mr. Charles W. Meyer being their special béte noire, Threatening letters they wrote him in great B@umbers, It seems that they were equaliy trouble- tome to Mr. Moffatt, a ward tax coliector. Whenever be appearcd at the place for arrears of taxes they would SEIZE 4 RAZOR bd begin sharpening it, and acting in such a manner ‘ to almost rrighten the life out of the poor official, add start him off without his taxea Moffatt and Meyer held counsel, and together they “went to the Police Conrt on Wednesday and lodged a complaint of disorderly conduct against the brothers. Myers was the complainant and Moffat the witness. A warrant was issued by Justice Jessup for the arrest of the Thilhorns. It was placed for execution im the bands of OMcer Ben- jamin Elsden, ono of the newest appointees on tho police torce. Yesterday, about one o'clock, Elsden, accompanied by Oficer Albert Dickerson, one of the few colored policemen of Newark, proceeded to execute the warrant. They arrived at the house where the Thilhorns resided between one and two o’clock. Dickerson posted bimself im the alley near the house, while Elsden entered it He first ascertained from tho people who own the house and reside ‘on the ground floor that the men were in. The brave officer sprang up the stairs and knocked the door of the Tntiborus’ apartments. “Who's there ?” said a voice from within. «= “A friend; open the door,” said the officer. The door was opened and the officer showed bis warrant. Instaniy the dodr was shut im his, face. He demanded its revpening in the ame of the law and called for Dickerson to assist him. Betoré Dickerson had time to respond the door ‘was opened, and as soon as the officer entered closed a sccond time. Before the gallant tellow could look about him in the room he fell to the floor SHOT THROUGH THE HEART. He had been twice shot at besides, Two young ‘women, Mra Vanderhoef and Mrs, Georgi- anna Reynolds, sisters and daughters of the owner of the house, Mr. Miller, sat in the room underneath where this tragedy oscurred. They heard the heavy fall on the floor above of the slaughtered policeman and wero fright- ened almost to death. Mrs, Vanderhoof darted out into the yard, while her sister, Mrs. Reynolds, remained in the houso, paralyzed with fear, Presently down stairs dashed one of the Thilhorns and through the lower apart- ments. He seemed crazed, and levelled his great navy revolver at the defenceless tomale. He fired, but for- tunately the ball only grazed her head. Out into the street the rufian next darted, followed by his brothers. Dickerson, the plack policeman, fled before them. They shot him in the back, the ball entering the left side of the backbone, glancing upward through the lungs. Tne villains next shot and jously wounded a Sr. John Cahill, residing next door, who Tap out irom his dimoer to see what the noise was about. Cahill bad not raised a finger or spoken a word to the ruMfans. All this occurred ‘&@ great deal less timo than it has taken to narrate tho bare facts. The desperadoes appeared to be regularly possessed with 4 MURDER DEVIL. Down Jackson street they dashed like a trio of sav- ages, a large crowd afier them, keeping, however, a fespectful distance from the revolver-armed madmen. Tt was close to two o'cicck when they sprang acrous the canal bridge aud up into the second oor of Dawson's factory. They sung out for Myers, but before a reply could be given they began to make havec among the workmen nearest them, Char! Fischer, asssitant foreman, and one of their assumed nies, was the nearest tothem. Thrice they shot One ball pierced Fischer's heart, and he fell NEW YORK HERALD, FRIDAY, JULY 14, 1876.--WITH SUPPLEMENT. dead ivetantly. Thoy next shot John Albers, young workman, son-inlaw of Myers. He was shot in the head, lungs andarm. He lived only a fewhours. Myers, fortunately, was in a far off part of the factory, so that although they shot at bim repeatedly they did nut bit him. They made a dash for the workmen up stairs in tho third floor, but by this time—and it was but a few minutes subsequent to their entrance—the workmen rallied with knives and stones and drove the murderers down into the street. Albert, the eldest Thilborn, bad a revolver in each hand; the other two ope each. At the foot of the stairs they shotat a workman named Frederick Stutz and struck him, bat bis wouad was only a scalp-scrape. Then ensued A THRILLING SCENE. 'f ‘The workmen in the factory, to the number of about thirty, maddened at the spectacle of the dead Fischer and the dying Albers, seized long kuives used tn their business and charged the murderous trio. On they drove them, along River street, between the Morris and Essex Canal and the Passaic River, the Thilborns turning every now andthen in their flight to fire a volley into the crowd of pursuers. The latter were too far behiad to be burt, Finally the murderers were forced into a corner—the fence against Balback’s place avd a great bank of oyster snelis, together with the ap- Proaching workmen forming an enclosure from which there was no escape except by the river, The brothers waited till the workmen wore nearly upon them, and then were driven into the river. As he was going overboard, Charley, the youngest, levelled and fired his revolver at Jobn Weiss. The bail missed Weiss. Not so the kuife of Weiss, which nearly severed Charley’s right hand. The two ‘were then literally stoned to death in the water. Up | to five o'clock the only body found was that of Charles Thilhorn, It presented a ghastly spectacle, an ugly wound on the head, showing that he had veen stoned aswellas knifed, The body was taken to Comptain’s morgue. It lay thero not far from that of the murdered white policeman K'sden—the murdered almost alongside his murderer, tt was a ghastly, a horrible sight. Fischer's body was taken to bis late home. Dickerson was removed | to St. Michael’s hospital, where he died during the | evening. John Albers also died, so that the following isthe LIgt OF DEAD AND WOUNDED :— Benjamin Elsdon, dead. Augustus Dickerson, dead, Charles Fisher, dei Jobn Albers, dead, Tho three Thilhorns, dead. Jobn Cahill, wounded. Frederick Slutz, wounded. The Thilhorns were natives of Magdeburg, Prussia, and were about from thirty-five to forty years of age, They would prob- ably havo been lynched had they not met the fate described, so bitter and intense was the feeling against them. During the excitement, Mr. Thomas W. Dawson, Sr., owner of the factories, had his pocket picked of somo $2,200 in checks by some sneak thief. He has stopped paymoeht of them at the various banks. Omcer Elsden leaves a wifo and a large family. Ho bad been but about two months on tho force, having previously been out of employmont for about a year. Fischer was about fifty-live years of age. He also leaves a largo family. Dickerson leaves a wife and baby. Albers was married about a year. His widow will soon be a mother, if sho survives yestorday’s ter- tible blow. Tho Thilhorns leave no relatives except a sister. The Coroners will be busy with inquests to-day. AMUSEMENTS. GILMORE’S GARDEN. A pfogramme of more than ordinary excellence was offered last night by Mr. P,S. Gilmore and his band. Wagner was gepresonted by the overture to “Rienzi” avd the march {rom ‘Tanubiuser’’ and there was a very choice interpretation of the “Egmont” overture of Beethoveu. The glorious quartet from ‘‘Rigoletto” |. presented Verdi in his brightest light. Mme, Eugenio Pappenbeim, the fanous German prima donna, sang “Robert toi que jaime”, with grand effect, and Levy repeated his former success in Proch’s air and varia- tions. On these sultry evenings there is not a resort 1m the metropolis where, amid fountains, foliage and the spray of the cascade, with delicious strains of music soothing the ear, one can forget more readily the «1 comiorts of the terrible heat. Art and nature (in hor- ticultural form) combine their attractio: A solo by M. Henri Kowalski was one of the featu the concert jast evening. To-night he plays his fai tasia on ‘‘Trovatore.” MUSICAL AND DRAMATIC NOTES, Foreign pianists are at a dicount in London. Capoal is suffering from congestion of the larynx and cannot sing in London this season. Verdi’s “Requiem” has been performed under the direction of Siguor Faccio at Parma. Albani appeared as Ophelia in Ambroise Thomas’ “Hamlet,” at Covent Garden July 6. The Majiltons nave left Paris for Russia, where they have a long and lucrative engagement. Mile. Brandt, the great contralto of Berlit, has made a hit at Mannheim as Fides in “Le Prophete.”’ Mr. Henry Irving read some dramatic selections at the residence of the Baroness Burdett-Coutts, London, @ fortnight since. Henri Ketten, a pianist of the Rubinstein school, gave a few recitals in London recently, but mot with scant encouragement. Wagner’s “Centennial March,’’ composed for Phila- dolphia, was recently performed by the band of the Kursaal at Wiesbaden. A new opera, “Il Viceré del Messico,”” by Signor Tanara, has been produced at the Teatro Balbo, Turin, without much success, A letter by Joseph Haydn, dated Joly 6, 1776, and containing some interesting musical facts, has been re- cently discovered in Hungary. The Prince of Wales declines an invitation to the Royal Eisteddfod, Wrexham, probably because ho would prefer tacing the tigers of the Terail to listening to a Welsh festival, Mile. Marguerite Chapuy’s indisposition has been so Prolonged and severe that she has been ordered homo by her medical advisers, and will not be heard at Her Majesty's Opera, London, this season. A short time ginco there died in the Jewish Hospital, at Frankfort-on-the-Main, tne once favorite Dutch vocalist, Mme, Rosa Hagenaar, many years highly esteemed as a teacher, though her iatter days wero very sad.

Newrort, RK. 1, July 12, 1876 Mr. George H. Norman, the well nown builder of water works, has made a proposition to this, his native, city for supplying the place with water for domestic and manufacturing uses. Newport has long been in need of water, and now one of hor citizens pro- poses to construct, free of expense, a complete water works, upon the condition that the city government will grant bim for fiity years the privilege of selling water therefrom and exempt all of the property trom taxation for that length of time. His letter, which was Presented to the City Council last evening, is as fol- lows, and will clearly show what his ideas are upon the important subject :— June 28, 1876, Mayor ot Newportt— Hof the promise I imade to, sand yo Presenting tne v yon lay the matter betore iv meeting, with the hope that the proposition be accepted or rejected’ without delay :—I will construct « completo wat the aupply of the city of Newport upon the condt the City Couneil will grant me, and my heirs and works for tion th osition to the city it 1s he approbation of moxt of rtninly ail who have the growth aud wellare of the city nt heart. City € fully, neither do I ask r our obe GEORGE H. NORMAN Tho majority of the taxpayers are heartily in favor of accepting Mr. Norman's liberal proposition, and they are of the opinion that 1t would be hard work to find a man who would be willing to invest upward of $500,000 during $hese times. Mr. Norman has amassed a for- tune im building water works for diferent cities in New England, and it has long been his ambition to do Iikewise for bis native city; yet during all these years he has never agitated the matter until now, when he is willing to use his own funds for the object. Mr, Norman will commence operations at once, as ho can buy the material and furnish labor at cheaper rates than he would be likely to do at any futuro period. With the introduction of water Newport will enter upon a new carcer of industry, and her summer | visitors will multiply and renewed prosperity will be sure to follow, Everybody will agree that Mr. Nor- man’s proposition is a geucrous one, and he is willing to coine under certain restrictions relative to the rates to be charged for wator for private uses, and willing to sell the property to the city after a certain length of time. He does not want to make anything oui of tho city. Having bailt so many water works in other cities, he takes a commendable pride in doing the same for Newport, where he was born and where he spends his summers, The summer residents are very much interested in the matter, and are loud in their praisos of the proposition, knowing that it will entail no debt upon the city. With ore dissenting vote the City Council author- ized Mr. Norunan to go abead, and as soon as the action of the Council was uoised in tue street there was no jittle rejoicing. The Chief Engineer called out the Fire Department and a detatchment of the Newport Ar- tillery fired a salute. As usual, a few croakers aro found who are airaid Mr, Norman is going tv make some money Irom his enterprise, but their arguments are late and ill advised. The better portion of the com- bis way clear to make humseil whole. ‘ SUFFERING FOR RAIN, Newport would look lovely just now if the long- needed rain would make its appearance. It is a loug {ume since there was @ raipiall in this Vicinity, and io consequcnce the trees and shrubbery look very dusty, and vegetation in general is sullering for the want of it. The season prowwes tobe Urilliant, aud everybody is making preparations accordingly. As yet the hotel jutronage has been very lgut, but arash of transient guests 18 expected next week from New York and Philadelphia. The Ocean House expects to be full at Jeast ounce during the season, and next week an orchesira will arrive for the beuetit of thir patrons. So far the weather has veen exceeuingly warm, and even the ‘oldest inhabitant” does not recollect 4 season when the thermometer has Tun up so high us it bas this season, and they are | afraid that Newport will lose her reputation as « cool summer resort. About all the cottagers have arrived, and the fashion- able drives now luok very lively every pieasant atier- noon, Turnouts of every description are to be seen, trom the dasiing coach to the modest phaeton, and the display of borsefiest and expensive Larness is some- thing that will attract the atiention of everybody. The principal driving commences at about five o'clock. and continues from that bour until nearly dark. No Tunaway accidents have occurred so lar. Tgk TORPEDY STATION Captain Gore Sunes, of the English Legation at Wasuington, who has been at tue Ocean Heuse for the past week, was invited on Thursday to again visit the Torpedo Stat which invitation he cordially uc- cepsed. He is always present when the annual experi. Ments are nade, Owing to tne deadlock in the appro- priations the Torpedo station will [mp steer og closed After the torpedo class graduates in September, and it may interfere with the annual exporiments.

Exciting Meeting of the Democratic General Committee Last Night. A DECIDED PLIT IN THE RANKS. Determined Opposition to Mr. Kelly as a Leader. How He Was “Indorsed” “A Thrilling Vote.” by Tho Tammany Hall General Committee met in the Wigwam last evening. About three-quarters of the members wero present, Many stayed away, as they did not wish to be put on record just now, Rumors were cireulated around tho city during the day that trouvle would ensue at the gathering. Some politicians sent forth the statement among others that ex-Senator Hugh H, Moore would rise in his place and move for the expulsion of Mr. John Kelly, Thon it was asserted that the gentleman would simply prosent a resolution Fequesting the resiguation of the Tammany leader. But when it is considered that all resolutions pre- sented before the General Committee moet, without action usually go before the Committee on Urganization, unless otherwise ordered, this movements could have no particular siguificance. Mr, Kelly coutrols the | latter body, and any resolution detriniental to his in terest would consequently be buried beyond hope of resurrection, Mr. Moore was present last evening, but did not carry out this plan, He has resolutions, how ever, in his pockets to reorganize the district in which he resides. \ Tho meeting, a8 announced by Mr. Augustus Schell, was culled for the purpose of taking action upon the St. Louis nominations, When the resolutions of in- dorsement were read then came the thunderbolt which resulted in disturbing the harmony of the meeting. Mr. A. Brown, ot the Twenty-first Assembly district, offered an amendment to the resolutions which coy- ered Mr. John Kelly with considerable fulsome praise and complimented the Tammany leader on his great abilities. This was the real signal for the Aght against Mr. Kelly. Mr. Peter B, Olney jumped to tho floor and moved that the resolutions be referred to the Com- mittee on Organization, in accordance with the rules. Considerable confusion here ensued, and a very evi- dent attempt was made to crowd down Mr. Olney, Several of the ward statesmen shouted cnd stamped the floor. A distinguished representative from the Tenth Assembly district shouted himself hoarse = and-—serred, «= “Shut up!” “Put him out!’’ and other kindred phrases, General Frank Spinola rose excitedly and called upon the as- sembly to give Olney a hearing. He conciuded with the prophecy, “Wo will lay these fellows out in the end.” Rece:ver of Taxes McMahon also tried to pour oil upon the troubleg waters. He asked the Tammany men to ‘show, fair play to Mr, Olney. Major William H. Quincy, of the Sherif’s office, advanced to the front of the platform and contributed his eloquence in defence of Mr. Kelly. He went intoa perfect rhapsody over tho morits of that gentleman. Colonel William R. Roberts also contributed to this culogistic strain, He hoped that Mr. Kelly would not alone be the chosen leader for the coming year, but for years to come. Colonel Roberts aliuded to the “honored name of Mr. Samuel J. Tilden,’’ but the gul- Jant Colonel was not quite so complimentary when he attended the Democratic State Convention at Spring- fleld, IH., in the interest of Mr. Kolly as opposed to the St, Lous Presidential nomine The speccn of Mr. Olney was t perate and sensible, | Mr. Edward Cooper also spoke against the Keily resolu- tion and was received with a torrent ot hisses aud cat- catia. The previous question was moved in the mist of Mr. Cooper's speech, but alterward withdrawn. Not- withsianding this adtion Mr. Scholl insisted upon put- {ing the maiv question to tbe house, buc be was after- ward forced to withdraw from such an outrageous of parliamentary law. ‘The Kelly phalanx, headed by General Spinola, Colonel Roberts and Major Quincy, seeing their mistake, pleaded that Mr. Cooper should be heard, The speaker then went on to denounce the conduct of Messrs. Schell and Kelly in the name of Tammuny Hall at St, Louis. They had no right to es- tablish a Tawmauy headquarters in that city. The at- tack upon Mr. Tiden im the New York Express waa ulso vigorously condemuod by Mr. Cooper. In the meantime Jobo Keily pat alone in a corner of the hail, aud calmly surveyed the exciting scene. He did not at any time attempt to speak while the debate on his complimentary resolution oceupied tne dis- orderly asseublago, The majority of tho delegates were evidently with him, aud he anticipated an casy Victory. as the fight progressed, however, a wavering wus apparent in the ranks of the “Buss.” ‘The “boys”? always want tobe on tho winning side; and it Mr. Kelly wins the present barren victery, defeat and overthrow are certain iu the future, THE PROCEEDINGS were opened by Mr. Augustus Schell calling the meet. ing to order in a brief address imdorsing the nomina- tions made at St. Louis and the platform laid down for them. He said it was the duty of those assembled to beur their testimony in favor of the platform, and to signify their approvation of the nominations, ‘He was are that it had been said that there was a diversity of opinion im this city and county, He bad been told, and doubtless everyone present had, for he had seen it noticed in the public prints, that gentlemen who were personally friendly to these candidates speak of the nominations as their act—that they were to vo gioritted tor having brought betore the country the distinguished gentlemen whose Dames were on the democratic banners. The speaker assured the assemblage that whatever the personal re- lations of those persons might be to those great candidates they ik out of sight in this great —_controvers: “This, — gentlemen,’ said he, “is the controversy; this is the act of tho great democratic party, and such we will stand by it to utinost. (Cheers.) All must be laid aside and all grievances must be smoth- ered. We aro ina contest involving the life of this nation.”’ After exhorting his hearers to work for (he candidates Mr. Scbeli continued:—“It is said by some of the public papers that reorganization of this General Committee is necossury. I usk what reorganization can be had? Who are the persons who join in this outcry? Are we not the representatives of the demo- cratic populace of the City of New York? Do represent their interests here and’ on all oc- eagions?

The resolutions were read by Major Quiney and re- ceived with applause, though it was noticeable that Usis demonstration came vnly from the ceutre aud left of the room, Up to that moment there wns no sign of @ row, but the embers were alive and it only needed a | Slight breeze to tun them into a blaze.

Tho mysterious res- olution was then read and proved to be AN INDORSEMENT OF KELL for it read as follows: “Kesoived, That this committee have unabated con- fidence in (ho leadership of John Kelly, and are fully satistied that under that leadership the democratic | party inthe coming compaign will be conducted to victory, General Srinota moved that the reso ution which had just been read should be adopted as ap amendment to the report ot the committee, and the question was | about to be put upon that when Mr, Olney raised the | | | point of order that while his motion wus pending no | | other motion was jr order, and asked a decision of the Chair upon ite decided that Mr. Olney’s motion was out k, Dut was th cries of “Question” and 4 “Ob!” said Geaeral Srivoua complacentiy, “et him talk if he wants to.’’ | The Chair finally decided that the question before | the house-was upon the resolutions offered by the com- | mittee and also on the amendatory resolution, and | | | that thoy were open for discussion, Amid cries of “Question” and hieses, Mr, OLN®Y rose to his feet and contended that the Kelly resolution should go to the Committee on Organization, It it went there he believed that it would be unanimously | adopted. it was not a fight upon the distinguished Chairman of the Committes on Organization he was muking He claimed to be as firm a friend of Mr, Koliy as any other man present, and the g of that resolution would imply that there were members of tho organization at war with each other, and it would castaslur upon some of their leaders, The speaker denied that there was any such feeling, Mr. OLNEY was frequentiy interrupted by diss groans and cries of “Question” and “Mr, Chairman rise—? Ho attempted to explain, atlength, why be opposed the adoption of the Kelly resolution, but was silenced by the combined efforts of the Chair and the outories of the audience. Justice Duffy claimed that the gentleman was speak- ing to a question already carried, Tomas CooreR CAMPRELL rose to apeak in opposi- tion to Justice Dufty, but was interrupted by the rising ‘with wild gesticnlation, proposed of a member, whi “Three cheers for Samuel J.

Mr. McManox—Mr, Olney, sit down for a moment, We will see that you get the floor.

If any gen- Ueman has any desire to speak to that he will now have an opportunity.” Mr. OLNEY rose and began He was again interrupted and cries of “Oh, sit down 1”? * &c. But the contusion was finally ended by a ‘e the Kelly resolution again road, which was done by Major Quincy. After reading the resolution Major Quincy asked Mr. Olney to yield the floor to him fora moment and then proceeded’ to pass a panegyric on Mr. Kelly, using cou- siderable force of language and being applauded to the echo, Sald be m concluston, “It is not in the power ot any map in the democratic party, whether high or low, to unseat John Kelly from the position he occupies in the hearts of the democratic people." Amidst tho applause that greeted this remark Thomas Hall, of the Eighth district, shouted, “There's npposed to Mr, Kelly oxcept two or threo othings here." Ho was rebuked by Mr. Quixcy, who said, “Phat’s an unbecoming remark.’ He then proceeded to read an extract from the minutes of the Committee of Organ- ization, iu which Mr. Hiwott is recorded as indorsing Mr. Kelly for his leadership. This was @ hit at the anu-Kellyites, as it was believed that they were promptod by Hewitt in their action. Here Mr. McMahon called out, “I think, Mr. Chairman, We have, listened to tno gontieman long enough. Sit down, Quincy, sitdown; you bave done enough; more than enough.” Mayor Quixey—I have occupied your attention quite long enough dir. MoM anos you had ought to, Major Qcivcy—Sir? Mr. McMauoy—A great deal ought to. Mr. Ouxey hero took the floor ard explained at Jength that 1a opposing the Kelly resolution he was antagonistic to that gentleman, not because it was calculated to creato disturbances in the commit- tee, During tue whole of his speech Mr. Oluey was interrupted by pointa of order, cries of “Sh “Three cheers tor sobn Kelly,” &c. In toe Colonel Roberts had quietly crossed over and seated himseif to Olney's chair. prepared to seize the floor when the speaker haa ended. As soon as Mr. Olney sat down, Mr. Roberts began 8 glowing tribute to Mr. Kolly and to Mr, Schell and he was greeted with cheers, emg somewhat excited the Colonel called Mr. Schell Boble a Roman as ever wielded the tomahawk.’ Nobody noticed the anachro- nism, as all wero as excited as the speaker. Mr. Kob- erts concluded by moving tho adoption of tho resulu. tion Here another sceno of confusion ensued, for Mr. Edward Cooper, son of Peter Cooper, ‘he People's Candidate,” rose and attempted to speak. But he ‘Mr. Chairman”? —— si Yes, and a damned sight longer than longer than you received ‘the same troatmont as Mr. Olney, and was interrupted by all sorts of cries and devices, fe, however, remained firm and managed to say:—"l have heard @ great deal about harmony here to-night, but | want io know who it is that has thrown the firebrand into this meet. ing, I thoaght we came to inderse the nominees, and no one has aright to introduce resolutions calogizing any other person except those candidates” More interruptions here ensued, and the speaker finally said that bo took decided issue against the Keily resolution, for he was opposed to the manoer in which Kelly and Schell had endeavored to usurp power at St. Louis and dictate to the Convention in tho name of Tammany Hall. He also referred to the circulation of & democratic newspaper containing gross slanders against Mr. Tilden, a remark that Created no end of ise and confusion, Hero ex.Congressman Ronerts moved the previous =. although Mr, Cooper had not yielded th floor, Against the protesis of Mr. C his supporters tho motion, and, putting it to a vote, declared it carried, mnouncement that was grected with is of This action of the Chair cut off all further So much confusion was observed that no ono could tell what strength the majority | bad on the floor, though the minority succeeded im showing a fair strengts of numbers.

Whon Mr. Kelly bad finished speaking, and the cheers that his words elicited bad died away, several motions roxpecting the time of adjournment. were pi and it was fivally determined to adjourn subject to t call of the Chair. TILDEN AND HENDRICKS CLUB, The Eighth Assembly district democrats, having formed a Tilden and Hendricks campaign club, met al their temporary meeting room last evening to receive the report of the committee appointed to confer with kindred organizations. The chairman of the commit tee reported that arrangemeuts had been perfected by which the various clubs were to send delegates to thie organization for the purpose of effecting a*thorough organization of the whole district, THE HERALD IN JERSEY. HOW IT IS CARRIED TO THE LAKES, MOUNTAINS AND VALLEYS OF NEW JERSEY EVERY SUN- DAY—A REMARKABLE RIDE FROM NEWARK TO BUDD'S LAKE--FLEET HORSES AND A STOUT WAGON IN THM SERVICE. The mode of conveying the Sunday edition of the New Yorx Hexaup by wagou into the interior of New Jer- Sey possesses many points of interest, Leaving Newark at daybreak, the pupers are distributed at various points, at nome of which, previously, no copy of the Sunday paper was received on the day of its publica- tion, At Morristown it was sold at an extravagant price until from the Herato office was inaugurated enterprise that bas resuitod in placiog the paper withia the reach of all on hillsides, lakes and in the valleys of New Jersey. . Both of these objects have been accom. phshed. In proparing for such a long, rough and uphill jour- ney of over eignty miles the greatest care and judg- ment are to be used. ‘he horses are not Guly fleet and strong, but also possess great powers of endurance. They are put in trim for their journey during the week, and, an hour before starting, their tect are critically examined by un expert, The carriage combines strength with the least possible weight, and is furnished with duplicate bolts, rivets, screws, wrenches, &c., im case of accident, The driver is one who is not onty thor- ouguly acquainted with the road, but also perfectly un- derstanas bis borses. In many cases tho journey is over rough, uneven and broken pavements, again down dusty ravines, where the wheels sink doeply in the sand, apd still again up steep, Water-washed aod stony hills, so that shouid any of the above precautions be overlooked, accident would be sure to follow, and the many hundreds beyond would be deprived of thoi Sunday reading. THE HERALD TEAMS. Old Mr. Compton furnishes the team which conveys the Hexaup from Newark to Morristown. Every Sat- urday evening every bolt, screw, rivet and bar of the carriage is carefully exam‘ned, and long before day- light a blackamiith is on hand to gee if either of the horses bas loosened a shoe in the stall during tho night, and if so to put it into proper shape. The Herauo driver between the points mextioned above is a char- acter. Everybody along the route has known him for years, He is known as George Nuttman. His .ace is bronzed with the storms and trials of nearly cixty years, and his hair and beard are white as tho driven snow. ry Sanday morning, at balf-past four o'clock, old George wheels his team in front of the Market street depot at Newark. At five o'clock the papers are thrown from tho fast mail train, burried into the Henavp carriage, and at the crack of the whip they are off on their way to Orange. The moment of the start the Henan agents rip open the great brown bundles, separate the papers, count out the number ordered by the first dealer beyond, tle them together with stroi strings and, without pausing for rest, drop them at the Orange depot. Summit is reached im a short time, and the carriage comes to a standstill. Old George is on the ground in a twinkling, watering and sponging bis horses. Then off he starts for Madison, making no pause there, but hurrying on to Morristown, aad reach” ing it at a quarter to eight o’clock. The moment of his arrival he finds Mr. Heury Heddeo watting for the Heratp with two handsome carriages, one to rush through with one Heratp agent to Dover, Denville, &c., and another to carry a second Huxacp agent, with his assistants, to Mendham, Chester, Gorman Valley, Schooley’s Mountain and Budd's Lake. ‘ CLIMBING THE MOUNTAINS. From Morristown to Schooley’s Mountain the wagos is constantly chmbing. As it reaches Mendham tho bells are just ringing for church.
