NEW YORK HERALD, TUESDAY, A THE INTERNATIONAL REGATTA, + --- First Day’s Racing of the Amateurs on Saratoga Lake. ROBINSON WINS THE JUNIOR CHAMPION. The Northwesterns Carry Off the Interlaken Cup. A VERY SEVERE CONTEST. | Neptunes and Argonautas Drop Ont—The | Beaverwycks Distanced—Atalantas and Northwesterns Fight Jt Out to the End. ae SanaToca Lake, August 7, 1876. The fourth annual international regatta, under the pices of the Saratoga Rowing Association, was in- augurated to-day and proved im every respect as suc- tessful as that which characterized the regattas of pres | vious years on this Inke, Though the number potries fell somewhat short in somo of the races us | compared with years gone by, 1n others the number in- | ereased, The contestants were ewnly matebed; | possessed greator experience and displayed much more skill and fuller knowledge of rowing than their prede- wessors in former international regattas, Kyerything was dono by the Saratoga Rowing Association to make | the regatta successful, and the officers of the association deserve much credit for the manner in which they discharged tho task assigned to them. In response to ‘the invitation issued to the amateur rowing ciubs of the country to send representatives for the varions Faces euumeratod on the programme six juntors drew | on Into line this morning to compeie for the | Junior Seullers’ Badge. Of this half doz Man, of the Argonautas; Robinson, of U Springs, and Tompkins, of the Wolvenhooks, had rowed last year in the samo race, and the other | Miree—Rodgers, Magin and Cummins—have had com. | Paratively little experience as scullers The pair- pared raco for the Interlaken Cup, a much coveted prize, brought out the Argonautas, Atalantas, Beaver. wycks, Neptuncs and Northwestern, the last named | pair coming from the far West to meet the oarsmen of the Kast. Five judges, representing al! the contestants in the | fifferent races, were chosen and had their pinces on | the referee's buat. These gentlemen were W of the Argonautas; W. R. Hill, of the Beaverwy Godfrey, of the Northwestern; George Diftenbaugh, of the Sho-wae-cae-mette, and Mr. Eustis tor the Atalan- | tas, Richard 1. Neville, of uitilns Clad, was ref. eren; Mr. ©. E, Durkee, President ot the Saratc Rowing Association, timekeeper; 1. H. Cramer, sig oflicer, assisted by T. M, Crane; A. W. Shepherd, jud at the turning stakes, and Messrs, Williamson an tar Judges at the finish, i BEFORE TNE RACK | At half-past ten o’clock the first gun was fired, giv- | ing notice to the men to prepare The water good condition atthe time, A slight breeze the surface, but not sullicient to disturb the water. Thoro was every prospect, of the breeze springing up, and those who know Saratoga Lake ad- mit that it frets itself into a fury on the slightest pro- on. There were few peopie at this time on the stand, those who had come out to witness the erring to remain tinder the suade of the trees rove close by, us the sun was exceedingly hot, At ten minutes to cieven the gun calling the men out Was fired, and the scullors began to make their ap- pearat Rovinson, of Union Springs, and Man, of | Abe Argonautas, wore tho first out, then came Cum- | mins, looking in elegant condition, with his back as brown as an Indian; Tompkins, of the Wolvenhooks, ext showed up, and Rougers, of the Atalantas, w a big broad-leaicd straw, next drow up into line wok therr positions as given, numbering one trom the | grand stand, to await the signal to start, and thus 1p. | Augurate the first day's racing of the fourth grand in- | ternational regatta on Saratoga Like:— : JUNIOR SOULL 1 RB.

The Ataiantas commenced turning in lim. 208, from the start and live secouds later the Northwesterns were also on the turn, the Beaverwycks % twenty-five seconds behind them also got straightened away for home, Eustis and Downs, in the Atalanta boat were doing fine work at abont 36 to keep the lead, but so steadily and surely were the Northwesterns gaining on them at every stroke, that it became evident that uniess the Atalanta mon could put on “more beef,” the Norihwestern men were going to catch them, Midway between the mile and haif and mile buoys the Northwesterns ‘col lared’ the Atalanias and passed them like a shot, It was a magnificent burst of speed, and many wondered if it was possible if the men could keep it up, It was evident from this point that it was to be & maten race home between the North- Westerns and the Atalantas, as the Beaverwycks were pulling casify, satisfled that they had enough. For a time the Atalantas seemed to creep up on their rivais, but the Northwesterns woukl ‘hit their boat up” and draw away.

THE GUBERNATORIAL CONTEST. How the Democratic and Republican Slates Are Made Up. Tho next important topic to the Presidential election is the contest for Governor in this State In a little over two wooks the republicans will have placed their ticket in the fleld at Saratoga, whilo the democrats fling thoir banner to the breeze a short time afterward. As the ides of November draw, near the democrats gather hope of a certaintg of carrying this State, It Will require vigorous efforts and a sudden revolution of { public mind in maay of tho country districts if this Fesnit docs not come to pass. As an organizer Gov- tho country, His agents are now at work everywhere, 4 | Rot alone in this State, but in every State of the Union, Each election district will be canvassed, ax far as pamphiet, voico and pen can do the work effectually, In the last election for Governor the people witnessed | @ political change which few couid anticipate, Gen- eral Dix had been chosen Governor tu the fail of 1872 by a majority of some 50,000, Tho figures wero com- plotely reversed two years lator. The returns from tho ballat boxes of the entire State showed tho follow- ing:s— Tilton... 416,391 Dix.. 366,076 Tiiden’s majority..... 60,317 Democrats claim that the simo influences are at work to-day, still more imtenstiied than when “Uncle Sammy” emergod from his fight with the ring thieves and buckled on his armor anew for a bout with no Centennial Dix. Reform was then the watchword. Surely such a battle cry must now fore easily reach Belknap, Babcock, Robeson and others have beer: em- Diazoned on tho banner of our republican national ad- ministration, | TUE REPUBLICAN OUTLOOK. hoart to the democrats: It is undeniable that the party of “high moral ideas’? is completely at sea in this State, The enemies of Mr. Conkling achieved a over that brillaut statesman at Cincinnati, and they now undertake to push the war right into the citadel of the “blond Senator.” Wheeler's nomina- tion for tho Vice Presidency, engineered and carried through by Conkling’s enemios, was a severe blow at the political prestige of the Jatter gentleman, as far as ntrol of New York State 18 concerned, Then- comes to the front the oily Fenton, with eat-like step and soft manners. He has been left out im the cold for some tine, He now proposes to arraign tho power that bns left him for several years quictty enjoying the luxuries of country life at Jamestown, ‘That inimitable instructor in good breeding and ele- gant manners, George William Curtis, swells the hosts of republican reformers, while the *Union League stands approvingly bebind and pats the distinguished editor on the back. Senator William H. Robertagn, nhix farm i Westchester county, looks caretuliy over the feld, while his nervous colleague, the ‘Bald Kaglo” of that locality, Major General and ox-Speaker Husted, dances around the outskirts, watch. ing for an opportunity to fire off his sharp political mitratiiense whenever occasion offers. Both these dis- tinguished Westchester lights voted tor ine at Cin- cinnati when they got anything hie a fair chance. They stand with their battalions in the centre of the battleticld, colors flying, drums beating, sabres flash- ing, ready to move on either sive of the enemy’s works whenever victory is assured and the Roberison- Hu-ted flag can be far advanced in the political fray, From Ithaca 1 watted the name of Mr. Andrew D. White, President of Cornell University, aa a com- promise candidate for Governor. The curious state- ment goes forth that Senator Conkling wishes to shelve A. B. Cornell to make way for the unversity sage. This cannot be possible, If Mr, Corneli wants the nomination as far as muchine power gnd the “usages of the party” go he 1s certainly entitled to it, He is the faithtul heutenant who has ever promptly unsheathed his glittering sword to strike down the opponents of his iriend Conkling. At Syracusé ho was invineiblo; at Cincinnatt he stuck to his colors untii the very last moment, when the Convention oroke and went over to Rutherford B, Hayes. The new ime wants to crush him, The war-worn veterans, the politicians who haye practically guided the republican helm in city and State for years stand by bim. What will be the result? Events of the 23d or 24th of August at Saratoga can alone answer. ‘On the crost of this wave of rebellion are carried the names of KE, D. Morgan and Witham M, Evarts, But itis said that the latter gentleman will not accept. As ior Mr. Morgan, o1l and water cannot mix very well, neither can the trends of the “inilltonnaie merchanv? und the Conkling army, The republicans of this State cannot, therefore, be classed particularly as a “bappy tamily.”” They must beat the Jong roll,” close up the ranks, centralize their forces, shoot down deserters, barnfonize with the disaffected, or the smoke of November's vattlo will find them, envelope them as a beaten host. A rumor comes from Washington that Senator Conkling intends to take the field in person in command of his forces. ch a_leadership) must intuse imtense enthusiasin along the whole line, His flery eloquence would wako up the loth rage the wavering.

To Tux Evrror or THs HeRALD:. Hon. Thurlow Weed, in bis reply to my communica- tion in your issue of the 13th inst, upon the subject of his “Unwritten Chapter of Hostory,’’ seems to think that it was my purpose to raise a quostion of pergonal Veracity betweon us. It is proper that he should be “assured thas I had no such intention. My object was simply to assure him and the public that the informa- tion upon which bis statement was based was utterly groundicts, He also expresses recret and surprise that in my denial of the correctness of that part of his chapter which gavo an account of an interview between Mr. Toombs, Mr. Clingman and myselt with General Taylor on the subject of the admission of California into the Union as a free State, I had departed trom my babitual trankness in not statmg what did oceur at tho interview, 1 had simply protested against the cor- rectness of his statement, and denied that any such in- torview as set forth by him bad ever taken place. This ho regards as disingenuous, and argues that | ought to have stated what did occur between Mr. Toombs, Mr. Clingman and myself and General Taylor. This is his language:—“If, after saying no such interview of Messrs, Toombs, Clingman and mysolf ever took placo with General Taylor, Mr. Stephens bad informed us what the nature of that interview really was, any reply from me would bave been unnec iry.”’? This ia cer- tainly strange logic and @ most extraordinary speciinen of reasoning tn the face of the facts, It will be recol- lected that Mr. Weed, in hig “Unwritten Chaptor of His- tory,” in giving an account of his interview with Mr. Bennett, of the Hxrauv, by which he secured his in- fluence in behalf of the administration of Mr. Lincoln, made this statement ‘I gave him the then an- known particulars of an interview of Messrs, Toombs and Stephens, and Clingman, members of Congress trom Georgia and North Carolina, with General Taylor. Tho object of that interview was to induce Gcveral Taylor, a Southern man and a slayeholder, tu veto the bill permitting California to enter the Union as a free Stato. it was a stormy interview, with threats of dis- union ow the oye band and hanging on the other. The facts were communicated to Senator Hamlin, of Maine, and myself within tem minutes after the interview closed” Now, in answer to this statement, I simply ‘entered my unqualified denial of the correctnéss of the matter us set forth. I intended my protest to be entered against the correctness of the entire statement, not only in wholo but in every part and particular, I re- affirm the same again. No such interviow as that set orth over did occur or any one like it. How was it dis- Ingenuous in me, or evincing any want of frankness in not stating what the naturo of that interview really was which never occurred? Mr. Weed bad designated no was there ever any unpleasant, much less stormy, in- terview between General Taylor and myself, or between him and any other person or persons in my presence. 1 never said a word to him in my life to induce nim to voto any bill. Nothing could have been more out of place or absurd than to urge upon him to veto the bill admitting California, which had passed neither Houso of Congress at the time of his death, In sustainment of my position I submit to the public the following communication to mo from General Toombs, received to-day :— Wasiinctoy, Ga., July 23, 1876. Drar SiR—My attention was called several weeks ago to the letter of Thurlow Weed, of New York, touch- ing an alleged interview between you and myseit and the Hon. Thomas L. Clingman, of North Carolina, and President Taylor, in 1850, The whole story is a fabrica- Von as far us I am concerned, and I believe equally so as to yourself. I never did call on General Taylor with you, Mr. Clngman or anypody else’ on the subject of vetoing the bill for the admission of California or any of tho pending Territorial bills, No such bills passed Congress during 1:18 lifetime; nor wag it possibie for such a bill, with a Congressional prohibition of slavery, to pass the Senate during that sevsion. There was a large and decided majority against guch action in the Senute, led by Webster, Calhoun, Clay and otber dis- tnguished Senators. Therolore there was no necessity for any such folly aa requesting Taylor to veto even such Territorial measures. While the circum- | stances connected with the formation of what was called the California constitution were wholly irregu- Jarand highly objectionable, yet you and ci and a majority of the representatives of the siaveholding States wero willing to accept it in connection with other measures adjusting tho question of slavery, as we then hoped, torever, between the North and’ the South, These other questions were slavery in the Territories, the Fugitive Siave law and a settlement of the Texas claim upon the Territory of New Mexico. Taylor's administration opposed this policy. The threw you and myself, and many other of the earhest and firmest Iricuds of General Taylor, in opposition to his adnunistration. itour duty to deteat that able, accomplished states- man, Mr. Winthrop, for tne Speakership, in order to deprive Taylor's aumiuistration of the organization of the House. We succeeded in that eflors Mr. Cobb was elected Speaker, Taylor died, Fillmore camo in. and turned out Taylor's Cabinet and ap- pointed one favorable to the compromise measures, which were passed and approved by alarge majority of the people, as demonstrated by tho election of Piel You and I supported these com- Promise meacures and severed our party relations in Georgia, Both of us werorctected to Conzreys on these issues in 1851. Cobb was elected Governor’ in 1351 in opposition to the opponents of these meaeures, und L was that year elected to the Senate of the United States under the new party organization resulting from these measures; and the State of Georgia called a convention in 1850, of which we were both members, atfirming the compromise, including the admission of California, as a final settioment o} all the questions mvolved in them Both of us had frequont interviews separately together with General Taylor, and urged upon him the abandonment of his policy and the adoption of the com- promise measures. Some of these interviews were earnest and decided on both sides, but no such language as that attributed to General Taylor by Weed was ever used by him in my presence. General Taylor was an honest, firm, truthiul man, with but littie knowledge of civil goverament, and Was incapable of nfiking the statements attributed to him by Weed’s informants, As to Mr. Clingman, Ido not remember that he was ever present at any of those interviews with Taylor. In iact, It now occurs to me that he was neither in sympathy with Taylor's policy nor with that advocated by us; but he ts ailve and can speak for himself. His Character is a sullicent guarantee tor any stavement be may make. Ib as above twenty-five years since these events trans- | pired, ana I have not consulted any of tne records of the time, but will dos) as soon as 1 am able, if i be- cothes uccessary to correct my memory as to any of these events 1 am, respectfully, your obedient ser- vant, RK.

The | terms of this compromise or adjustment of the various | guaens involved, were agreed upon at Mr. Speaker jobb's house onthe night of the J9th of Fevruary, 1850, between Mr. Cobb, Mr. Toombs, Mr. | inn Boyd, | of Kentucky, and myself, from the ‘South; and Mr. John A. MeCiernand and Mr. William A. Kicharason, Hlinois, and Mr, Joun K. Miller, of Ohio, trom the North, These { distinctly reeolicet, and think there wore a few others from both sections, whose names do not now occur to ime.

Hence, on the 15th of June, Mr, Toombs, as stated in wy former communication, in one of the stormiest debates that ever tuck place iz be Houso, declared—“We do not oppose California on account of the anti-slavery clause in her coustituuion. 1t was her right, and I am not even prepared to say that she acted unwisely in its exercise; that is her business.” (See Congressional Globe, Thirty: firet Congress, Orst session, wage 1,216 2 Paflow irrational, then, is tt to suppose that he should have calied upon General Taylor and urged upon him the policy of vetoing a bill to admit California as State; and how irrational It 18 to suppose that G Taylor could have so reported bim to Me, "6 9 19 ropeat, Mr, Weed's memory must certainly be “sks: Besides this, no facts are more notorious in ou gy” alter the passage of a. ch ho and I faverad, as stated, and * pleflged to support when Gove, dor Towns, of Geos culled a sovereign convention of the people to pro same made of resistance om account of the admissi« of California, Mr, Toombs ana myself took the stum and canvassed the State from the mountains to t seaboard in sustainment of the action of Congress 0) ‘he result was un ove®whelming majority of the Convenwion in favor of sustaining thera, 4s appears in the colebrated Georgia Union Plattorm 1800, But Mr, Weed arguos that 1 was in error in stating that Mr, Tooms and mysell favored the admission of California that session, inasmuch as the record shows that the final Vote for admis- sion Mr. Toombs voted against the Dill aud that I did not yore at all, or, as be says, that I ‘dodged the vote.’? In reply to this I have only to say that I did not assert that We bad voted for it. So far as 1 am concerned, Mr. Weed and the public may be assut however, that there was ho “dodging” on my park was called home in the Jatter part of the month of Au- gist of that year, before any of these compromise measures were reached in the House, and did not gi back to Wanbington untii a day or two after they were ali passed; but, before leaving, I made a pair with Hon, Chauncy F. Clovelund, of ecticut, upon alt of thom. fence, it Mr, Weed will search the record, I think be will find neither my name nor that of Mi, Cleveland on any of these measures, The reason Mr. Toombs gave meat the time fur his vote on the final question tor the admission ot California was the re- fusalof the House to entertain a very important amendment, ax he deemed, offered by Mr. Linn Boyd, which Speaker Cobb held :o be in order, which ruling was appealed from and the Speaker overruled by the House, He therefore voted against the bill without any change of views upon the general sabiect, His subsequent course and action in’sustaining vhe meas- ure With all his power and eloquence in the State of Georgia, as I have related, shows conclusively that he could not have voted against tho bill because of any hostility to the admission of California as a iree State, ALEXANDER H, STEPHENS.
