- many and the Brooklyn delogatos it began to look a ‘THE SARATOGA CONVENTION A Dispirited Gathering of the Democracy. _ ON THE COMING NOMINATION. The Explanation of Mr Spriggs Voted Unsatisfactory. KELLY'S EFFORTS AT COMPROMISE. Names of Bitter Opponents of Tilden Suggested. 4 FIGHT NOT IMPROBABLE. Candidates Mentioned by Friends and Foes of the Presidential Nominee. Saratoga, N, Y., Sept, 12, 1876. Slowly, sadly, mournfully the delegates to the resur- rected Democratic Convention come dripbling into Baratoga. Up to tive o’clock this afternoon it iooKed gif tho attempt to call together a second time the ‘unfortunate body that met here two weeks ago, and, un- der the telegraphic instructions of the hopetul “priggs, went on and finished their ticket, was destined to bo a complete tailure Here and there a stray delegate might be seen, looking dosolate in the large halls of the Grand Union Hotel, and gladly availing bimseif of tho chance of talking with any stray visitor, But there ‘were not over a dozen members of the old Convention i the place, and when ex-Governor Hoffman walked Into the Grand Union about two o’clock from the United States whore he happens to be staying, acci- dentally, of course, he was evidently discouraged. A whisper is going round to the effect that the ex-Gov- ernor cherishes the hope of rising to tne surfaco him- Sell in the midst of the muddle into which Governor Tilden has managed to throw the party. If such was the object of his visit to Saratoga, ho found but few ficlegutes on whom to practice his blandishments this Afternoun and bas not received much encourazement 4 thus far. The tew democrats who were ou hand, how- pver, cudeavored to keep up their spirits by joking on the situation, OFINION OF A DELEGATE. One of thom was usked his opinion as to who would be now placed at tho head of the ticket. “I have no ido who it will be,” was the reply; “but if you ask Dr. Gray, of Utica, he may be able to give you tho fniormation, and is probably the only man who knows,” Dr. Gray is, of course, known as the head of the Iuvatic asylum. “Who was elected chairman of the State Committee this year?” was another question, “Well, Magone ia chairman, but ho’s not ono of tho elect. He grabbed it in case the committee, like the ticket, should go wandering about without a head,” George 0, Jones, the well known Albany advocate of more greenbacké, strolled into the Grand Union, “Are you hero to attend the Convention ?’’ asked a friend, “No, I am here to take the water,’ answered George; ‘‘and as the democratic party has taken water I feel some sympathy for my old friend. At prosent ‘he democrats havo lost their head, When they ro- over from that affliction 1 hope to find them sensible enough to abandon. a forlorn hope and vote for Peter Cooper tor President.” When the afternoon train from New York brought the New York Hxraup, and the Tammany, anti-Tam- little more like the eve of a Convention in tho hotel balls and corridors. TAMMANY’S POSITION. The situation was immediately canvassed, and great Interest was manifested to discover what Tammany hhad agreed to do. As Jobn Kelly had remained over in Albany for one train no person could say much, and & mysterious reticence was observable. Indeed, the spirits of the arriving deleg: med to be notably flepressed. The blankets of the Tammany chiefs ap- peared to be wet ones, and the country delegates looked as if they had overdosed themselves with Con- gress water. One joker gravely inquired of a bevy of Tammany politicians if they were in attend- ance on the Unitarian Convention now in Session here, while another asked a knot of sountry representatives of the Tilden stripe what friend they had lost and when the funeral was to take place, Judging from the countenances and the con- rersation of the delegates and outsiders one might judge that the party ts more sick than Seymour, and that the lors of its head had proved tatal to the body. SPRIGGS’ LETTRR. Among the afternoon arrivals was tho famous Spriggs, who came bursting into view smiling and self- asserting aud with an apparent consciousness of the {mportance mto which he has so suddenly grown. As he passed a group of delegates, receiving from them a somewhat cold recognition, the conversation turned on the letter published by Spriggs in to-day’s HERALD, “What do you think of the explanation ?”’ asked ono, think it an exceedingly lume one,” replied a Prominent Tammuny politician, “lt seems to mo to faster upon Governor Tilden more unmistakably than ever the responsibility of the fiasco and to convict Spriggs of a dishonorable deception. Just look at it. A committee appointed by the Convention to do a most important part of work delegates it to Fairebild, who 18 a mere puppet in the hanas of the Gov- ornor, and Spriggs, who ts not a member of sho Convention, and has no right to meadio in the business. These two fo to Utica, They re- ceive from Governor Seymour a pgsitive assurance that he will not accept the nomination tendered to him, They have agreed with Fauikner, another gentieman who is ready do anything to oblige Tilden, to tele- graph him in a certain blind way the decision come to by Governor Seymour, Now mark; Fairchild keeps in the background, and Spriggs, pot a member of the Conventivn, telegraphs to Faulkner the words agreed to be used if Seymour should accept. This was tn. Yentional decepti..n, and Spriggs now says he resorted | to it because he believed Seymour would change his mind, The responsibility for the falsehood 1s thus Bhitted trom @ memver of the Convention and also from the shoulders of Fairchild, who ts too well known as Tilden’s taithtul man Friday. Now, who was to be benetited by the trick? Not Spriggs, for he had n> particular intorest m it, but Tiiden, who thus pre- Vented the nomination of Clarkson Potter and secured & nate, xs he believed, on tho ticket which would satisty the New York democracy, whose support te has himself made very little effort to and who wore displeased with Dorsher nomination. I have no doubt that Tilden believed he could persuade Seymour to accept and thon to resign the vilice of Governor if he should be elected, Such a trick would have been congenial to Tildon, but seymour would not lend bimselt to it. 1 think Tilden would have been wise to have forbidden Spriggs to make avy publication at all,” BITTERNESS TOWAKD TILDEN, This conversation is a falc specimen of the sort of taik that is indulged in agwiost filden by those who wero unfriendly to his nomination, and the delegates kuown as anti-Tilden show jar tore bitterness against the Governor now than they did at the first meeting of the Convention. Indeed, the two factions evince a houlthy hatred of each other, and at the present mo- inent there does not seem’ to be any escape irom a struggle tu the Convention, GAM OF ANTL-TILDEN MEN, The new game of the anti-Tiiden men, initiated by John Kelly, nomipation of Amusa J, Parker, of Aibany, tor vr in place of Seymour, This plan has Leen shrewdly started by Kelly under the pretence of being a iriendly compromise with Governor Tilden. Keily made the first overtures in this direction through ir. Pelton, the Governor's nephew. With a great of pluasivility he argued that now Dorsneimer, a liberal republican Who lad been unable to hold ‘bis own small purty to the democratic cause, was ov the heket 1 Vecomnes essential to satisty the democracy proper by plucing at the head of the Ucket as acknowl- edged and weil recognized a democrat aa Seymour tita- sell. Kelly urged that Parker is a lifeiong democrat; that he has stood m the broach and suilered ueteat whon the party was almost hopeless uf success; that | ho is henee entitled to consideration now’ and | that his nomimation besides being popular with the regular democracy Would be a Wise and jair concession to that portion of the domoeraue party which tind been opposed to Governor Iiidep's Humination. Mr. Pelton | received Keliy’s proposition aud went with a to Al- Dany to lay 1 betore Goveruor Tilden. ‘The result was not satisixctury. Yesterday Mr. Pelton couveyed to Kelly a TILDEN'S REFUSAL to consent to Judge urker’® nomination. Kelly then Sent a message to tho Goveruor through bis envoy | NEW YORK HERALD, WEDNESDAY, SEPTEMBER 13, 1876.—TRIPLE SHEET. asking whether the nomination by acclamation of Judge Church or Judge Allen would satisfy Tilden, exprosaing at the same time bis own anxicty mndiy compromise and his hope that the Gov ould not toree a struggle in the Convention. Kelly stayed over one train at Albany on his way here for the aileged purpose of affording a final opportunity for a friendly arrangement and a united Convention. The result was not satisfactory and he arrived here to-day, assuming the character of ap amiable bat sadly disappointed peacemaker, YHE TREACURROUS CHAKACTER of the proposition mace John Keliy can be easily understood when Judge Parker's position with regard to Tilden is recalled to mind. Judge Parker was the originator and leader of a deep laid secret conspiracy against Governor Tilden’s nomination, in which he was joined by the Canal Ring, whose frauds and rob- veries Tilden had exposed and attempted to punish. His opposition fo Tilden was not legitimate and manly, not open and above board, but carried on in a cowardly manner under the cloak and mask ot an assassin, The conspirators met at Judge Parker's residence, and a well known canal operator and ux- Commissioner, closely connected with the Ring, was one of the number, The conspiracy was, therefore, one not against Governor Tilden alone, but against that principle of reform which he had initiated in the State government and which forms the sole living issue in the present campaign and the only one on which the democratic party stands the slightest chance of winning, To nomaate Parker, therefore, would be to abandon the policy of reform initiated by Tilden in the State and to abandon also all hope of ‘winning in | tne Presidential election, Of course Governor Tilden might as well imitate the example of Governor Sey- mour and retire from the field as to aliow Judge Parker's name to ve placed op the State ticket, WHAT TILDEN'S PRIKNUS SAY, 1t is alleged by Governor Tilden’s trends that Kelly well understands this, and that is proposition, al- though seemingly mado in a friendly spirit, was in tended for misckicl. Its object, they say, was to create. the impression that Tilden is obstinately op- posed to any compromise wita the uniriendiy demo- crats, and resolved to force such a candidate as he way choose on the Convention, They charge openly that the only recommendation of Judge Varker to Kelly's consideration 35 the jact that he was the author of the famous parlor conspiracy against ‘Tilden, and ta lis bitter and pprelentng cnemy, Faulkner, Fairchild, Manning (of Albany), Apgar, Magone and all the Gov- ernor’s friends deciare that the oppdsition has made and will make no overture for @ united nomination that 18 likely to be accepted or that can consistently be accepted by the Governor's iriends, and they point to the fact that Judge Parker, Judge Church and Juage on, allot whom, they say, have opposed not tue rnor alone, but his reform policy, and all of whom took part in the secret, assassin-like conspiracy that sought to strike him down without letting him know who stabbed him, in suppert of tbe assertion, THE THLDEN CANDIDATES, On the part of the Tilden men three names are men- tioned, either of whom would be acceptable to them it he could be agreed upon by the opposition. Thesqare Lucius Robinson, Scott Lord and Babcock, of New York. With regard to the latter some misapprehens:on. appears to exist. It has been reported that he abso- Jucely declines a nomination, but his friends here de Clare that this 18 uot the case, and state that he woula accept if properly nominated. The trouble with Scout Lord 18 that bis own district is most bitterly opposed to his nomination, and this may poseibly destroy his chances of success. The opinion prevails to-uight that LUCIUS ROBINSON ir Governor Tilden’s present choico, It has been ob- jected that he 18 a liberal, and as such cannot be placed on the ticko#’ with Dorsheimer. This, however, is a mistake, Mr. Robinson hus never been what is known aga liberal republican, He was a democrat befors the war of the free soi! school, with Jobn Van Buren, Ben Welch, Peter Cagger, Wilham Cassidy, Dean Richtnond and the rest. After the war broke out he became a war demecrat apd was a very decisive Union man, without at all abandoning bis democratic priuciples, When nominted by the republicans fora State office he did not write a letter of acceptance or commit himself in any way to any other republican principle except that of the preservation of the Union und the crushing out of secession. At the close of his term of oftice he was taken up by the democrats and elected Comptroller, and bo bas acted with the party ever since, recognizing that the war is over. He has been a strong supporter of Tilden's State policy. This issaidto be Lucius Robinson's political record by those who favor his nomination, and as the pressure for him comes trom Albany’ the impression prevails that he is Tilden’s choice. There is no doubt, however, that he is regarded by democrats us lacking in the true and earnest faith, and that, with Tilden as the Presidential candidate and two converts at the head of the State ticket, 1t would require a great stretch of imagination on the part of a democrat to regard the candidates as these of the democratic party. A FIGHT PROBABLE. As matters now stand a fight in the Convention seems highly probable, If it should come Kelly will use the argument that ali possible efforts at concilia- tion have been made without avail; that the gentlemen who are responsible for the Seymour fiasco are re- solved to make further trouble for the party, and that “no man on top of tho earth can gainsay Judge Par- ker’s democracy. "” CLARKSON N, POTTER. But while the fight seems likely to be between Par- ker and Robinson, Mr. Potter is not altogether out of the eld. Itas whispered about that some old trans- actions connected with Judge Barnard and the Atian- tie and Great Western receivership and counsel may prove injurious to Mr. Potter, and this may dispose of his chances,“ As. to a SORT Lon, an objection to hig nomination comes by way of Utica, to the effect that he was an ola whig and Know Nothing betore tho war. Some amusement was created in the supper room at tho Grand Union Hotel to-night by the discovery that Judge Noah Davis and Senator Jarvis Lord sat vis-d-vis at the opposite ends of one of the tables. When Sen- ator Lord rose to leave the room Judge Davis rose also, shook the senator by the hund and remained for a lew Minutes 10 conversation with him. In relation to the Spriggs letter it was remarked to- night that the position of the Tilden men in the Sey- mour fiasco calls to mind ono of the caricatures pub- lished at the time of the discovery of the Tweed rop- beries, in whicn the members of ‘the Tammany Ring were all placed tm a line, cach one pointing io his next neighbor over his shuulder end h teed he dia it, RFVORTS OF THE CANAL MEN. Jarvis Lord, Canul Commissioner; Walrath and Wil- lard Johnson and other canal opponents of Tilden have been bustly engaged all the evening attempting to unite the opposition against the Governor and to beat apy candidate he may determine to press on the Con- vention. It is now understocd that Lucius Robinson is Tilden’s choice, but there chance that this pro- gramme may ve changed. THK TAMMANY DELEGATION held a meeting at cieven to-night, organized and a journed until mne to-morrow morning. A conference 18 now being held, in whieh John Kelly, Ed, Donuelly, Joseph J. Donobue, General Craig, John Jacobs and others take part, lor the purpose of agreeing on x can- didate to be supported by the united New York and Kings county deicgation. There seems to be some difficuity in uniting on Amasa J, Parker, aud Kelly is again urging Clarkson N. Potter. A PERTINENT QUESTION. It having been said that Mr. Potier received a very heavy fee by Judge Barnard’s order as counsel to his brother, wio was appointed by Barnard receiver of the Auuntic and Great Western Railroad, Mr. Jobn Kelly inquired whether heavy fees for railroad services are against the principles of the Tilden party. ‘The anti- Tammany delegates held a meeting to-night, and appemted = Emanuel Hart, John Morris A. F. Bixby, B. Riolly and James O’Brien a committee of five to wait on the Tammany delegates for she purpose of ascertaining whether New York cannot go mto the Convention a unit for a candidate, ‘The Tammany and Kings county. conference have tele- graphed to DeWit, West, asking him it he will a cept the nomination. If so they believe they can unite on him against Kovinson better than oa Judge Parker or Clarkson N. Potter. DELEGATES AT SKA. The delegates are at present at sca, without rudder or compass, anda tight im the Convention between the ‘Tilden and anti-Tiiden factions still seems inevitable, “Mr. Tilden isthe democratic exndidate for Prcsi- dent,” said a delegate just now, and why should there be any anti-Tiiden party in the New York democ- racy ?’ “Mr. Tilden is a candidate for President,’ was the reply, “and why should he seek to thrast on the de- mocracy of the State such candidates as ho pleases to select, instead of letting Ube party choose its own can- didates and strengthen the ticket?” When such 1s the teeling a united and vigorous cam- paign is hopeless. The democratic delegates stand like a set of lubverly schoolboys anxious to fight over a bag of marbles, but eacn afraid to begiv. THE PLACE OF MEETING, The State Committee held two sessions this evening, to take into consideration propositions tendering to the Convention the use of the hails attached to the Grand Unton Hotel and Congress Hall. It was stated that the ballroom of the latter had already been prepared for the Convention, seats arranged and telegraph wires introduc bat it was thooght t be too smail, being capable of seating only 800° persons, while the Grand Union hall will accommodate about 1,200, The proprietors ot both hotels, it appears, were anxious to secure the Convention 4 soon as it was made known that the town hall could not be obtained, it being in the bands of the Unitarian Convention. It was finally devermined to accept the Congress Hull's offer, ana the Con vention will be held there, NEW YORKERS OFF FOR SARATOGA. Most of the delegates and their local political friends Jeft this city on the half-past ten o'clock A. M. train over the Hudson River and New York Central Rail- road. Others left on the hall-past three P. M. train any, all expocting to arrive at Albany in time to attend the mecting of the Executive Committee of the State Contral Committee, held in Congress Hall, Albany, iasteveniog. Joun Kelly said that he would be there, This morning the delegates and their friends will leave Congress Hall and the Delavan House, Al- bany, and meet the delegates from other parts of the Stic at Saratoga. Among those who left this city yestorday were Judge Duly. James W. Gerard, State Senator Nicholas Maller, Charles B, !, Rovert ver, Alexander V. Davidse of the Sixteenth Assemuly District. It was. u food that tue Ninth ard delegation would advocate the nomination of sniord EB, Chureh, It wos ramored last evewing that uitice delegation trom the cast side would favor Mr, Church, General Spinola, Counsellor Foley and Menzu Diefendori, President of the Young Men's Democratic Union Clab, of this city, with many frends, lott in the early train, At the Monumont House and the Sinclair House last evening, before any telegrams had t received from up the river, tho opinions expressed by the “lookers on at Vienna” was that Seott Lord held the best prospects for the place ou the Wicket left vacant by Horatio Seymour, and that Samuel LD, Babcock stood next best, | GOVERNOR TILDEN'S DEFENCE, | NEW JERSEY DEMOCRACY. His Reply to the Charges of Perjury in 1862, THE INCOME LOANED OUT Several Hundred Thousand Dol- lars Lost. Tho long-expected dofence of Governor Tilden tn the fraudulent income returo allegations is nearly com- pleted, and will probably vo given in full tor publica- tion withina few days, Much speculation has been indulged in ag to tts nature, both parties regarding 1 as of vital importance in foreshadowing the result on election day; but the Governor has wiscly kept his own counsel and speculation alone has hitherto re- vealed the secret, Tho Hknatp, however, is author- ized to announce, on information not wholly uncon- neeted with the republican party, but deemod, nover- theless, entirely authentic, that the following is the line of defence advanced by Governor Tilden:— In 1861, the period of tho alleged false returns, his two brothers, Honry and Moses, lately deceasi 83 in Lebanon, were in tho chemical manufacturing bus’ but financially embarrassed to such a degree that rain was inevitable unless prompt and ample relief came to hand. In this crisis Governor Tilden advanced at different dates large sums of money amounting to soveral hun- dred thousana dollars out of his earnings, all or nearly all ot which was lost. This, he claims,” left his income at the figure given in his sworn statement, and this is the defence to the charge of perjury.

J., Sopt. 12, 1876, The Democratic Klectoral Convention, which assem | Died here to-day, was a suecess both as regard to num- vers and enthusiasm. Every county in the State was represented with the exception of Atlantic and Sussex, | the delegates trom these having been absont on account | of an interruption to railroad travel, Over 1,000 strangers were on hand. Among them were noticed Senator Bayard, of Delaware; ex-Senator John Stock- ton, ex-Governor Parker, Secretary of Stato Kelsey F, Lee, H. 8, Little, Senutors Avbett, Dayton, Hopper and Moore, ex-Senator Lydecker and a large number | of Asscmblymeh and smaller try politicians, ‘TH ORGANIZATION At balf-past twelve o’clock the Convention was called to order by Mr. W. W. Shippen, chairman of the Stato | Executive Committee, who nominated for temporary | chairman ex-Governor Joel Parker, and for secretaries Messrs. G. 8. Coleman, A, J. Smith and 2 F, Rabe. ‘The nominations were ratified with applause, the name | of Governor Parker bemg received with rapturous cu- thusiasin, MR. PARKER'S SPRKCH, Mr. Parker returned thanks for the honor and the hearty reception given him, He then procoeded to deliver a speech which lasted for avout thirty-five min- utes, He was repeatedly imterrupted by applause. He | contrasted the candidates of the two parties for tho Presidency, and, in answer to the charge that Mr. Tilden was disivyal, he cited the fact that through his (Mr. Tilden’s) influence General MeCiellan wrote his | P ietter declaring “tor the maintenance of the Union at | all hazards.” Mi, TILDEN ON THE WAR. “And,” continued Mr, Parker, “during the month of | June, 1863, Thad the pleasure of mecting Mr. Tilden, and in aconversation which lasted several hours the | duty of citizens, especially of democrats, in reference | to the war and its prosecution was fully and freely dia- cussed, He was decided in his convictions of duty and outspoken in their expression. He said in substance that without regard to errors of administration it was the duty of every man to sustain the government In its efforts to suppross tho rebeilion, and that these errors should be corrected at the ballot box. He fully ap- proved my course as Governor in raising men and money to aid in prosecuting the war vigorously. He was for the restoration of peace only on the basis of the Union, Ihave never before publicly mentioned | this interviow, but as the question has been raised I deem it my duty to say what I have and what I know on this subject. ASSUMPTION OF REPUDLICAXS. “The assumption of the republicans that they con- quered the rebels and saved the Union, and, therctore, should be continued in powor, would be amusing were it not provoking. If hoiding all tho federal offices during the war, depleting the Treasury and pocketing the profits of contracts was saving the Unton tho republican loaders may well claim tho title of “Union Savers,” (Laughter.) ‘THe souTH. In regard to the South, he said that the policy of the republican party toward .it since the war has no par- allel for heartlessness and cruelty. Posterity will ro- gard it with disgust and bistory will stigmatize tt as the groat political crime of the century. In conclusion, he called on the democracy of New Jersey to assist in bringing about a change not only 11 the administration bat in party supremacy. THE ORGANIZATION. ‘the usual commitices were appoimted and tke Con- vention then took a recess.

I thank you tor your friendly greeting and welcome to your political councis. ‘the broad and majestic | river which divides my home from yours yet unites the States and people whose boundary it forms; aod it 8 especially meet and proper that the hauds of the | sons of New Jersey and Delaware should, in this gen- eration, mect in the same friendly Clasp as did thoxo of their fathers on the Christmas nizhtot Decemver, 1770, when this city of Trenton was the sceve of patriotic struggle and success, seated by the blood of goul men and true, whose descendants should keep alive tho memories of those days which “tried men’s souls.”” It as not the ice and the flood nor the red uniform and stern bayonet of the British soldier which wo of this day meet to resist and conquer, These foes have passed away, but the same love of independence and of constitutional liberty 1s needed tu keep tor our- selves and our children that which was bequeathed to us; and if we wish to be worthy gona of virtuous sires we must come into council animated by the saine xpirit of courageous mauhood and unsellish patriotism which burned in American breasts one hundred years ago. He said that it is tor peace, union and the prosperity of our wholo country that he camo here to speak and to cousult to-day, He held that no American can bo justiied, that no political party can be wortny of American contidence or support which lvoks to tho hostile feelings of one portion ot our citizens or section of the Union as | a source of strength and success im its | undertakings, This experiment of popular sell-yover ment bas plainly reached a point where it ts about io bo subjected to the severest test and pressure. lie here alluded to reckloss and iImprovident expenditure and aiver continuing in this strain for some time ho | said that he was led to these comments by the tenor of | the political canvass as it bas so tar been condacted on the part of leading speakers in bebalf ot Hayes aud Wheeler, the nominees of the party calied republican, Including, | am sorry to observe, Mr. Wheetor, the candidate for the Vico Prestdeney, and sustained by tho party press, the issuo is broauly and yet deliberately stated in the present contest of parties to be “between a united South and Necessarily a.united North.” A UNITED SOUTH.

BIG SIX'S WANDERINGS Soi eemaetitaitnarerinae Wasuinatox, Sept, 12, 1876, In speaking about the arrest and provatie return of Bill Tweed to this country # great deal of amusing surmise ts indulged in by leading officials at the de- | partments and a corresponding auxiety ta felt to know whether te will tell anything in the way of “State secrets’? affecting the present democratic Presidential candidacy when ke gets here. One thing 1s certain, if by amehorating his condition in any possible way, the republicans can get him to turn STATH’S RVIDRNCE against Governor Tilden it will be done, While no detle hite assertion is made that such a thing will oceur, one of the Cabinet officers waile conversing about it jocu-. larly indicated that it would bo very funny if Mr. tweed should say something which would startle peuplo by disclosing damaging facts in connection with the old Tammany régime, In the words of one who knows tim weil here: “It has ulways been rehed upon that the old man would never tell secrets, but he hax been go badly used by every one of his old friends, and cenapicuously those who have been venciited by his favors having deserted him, 1t would not be astonishing if he would how seck his revenge at tho first opportunity by mak, ing war against those who have pursued bim.’? WHAT 18 FRIENDS SAY. Ilis few yet faithiul friends who wero in Washington during the session of Congress, when discussing bim in mellow and retrospective moments, have trequently, 19 expressing their still constant sympathy for him, been heard tv say quite signifleantly :— The old man was uot the worst of them and he will yet get square with his persecutors.” These friends were among the New York delegation and the subordinate employés of the House, formerly of Tammany Hall, They have been remarkably con- genial with republicans, at times manifesting little or no aililiavon with the Southern or Western democrats, and occasionally one of the former Lumber was seen at the White House or atthe dinners given bv the President or Secretary of Stato, REVENGE ON TILDEN, From allthatis now mferred by those who have been observant of suggestive political events, It is not unlikely the bringing about of Tweed's arrest and his return to. the United States may have some bearing on the paign material of the repub- lean party, as bas been shrewdly suspected in New York. Itis freely said here that the admiuistration and the republican party will be fortided witn a knowledge of some severe and tolling developments to be made by Mr. Tweed pertaining to his boss- sip, and that the leaders of Tammany Mall, as well ay thoir present working forces, will not be averse to it, They will co-operate, it is hinted, also in more ways than this with the republican party, though their allegiance has been ostensibly but quite unwil- ingly secured for ihe democratic Presidential nominee. An old democratic manager, uow here in the interest of those having acontract tor paving Pennsylvania “This is the way Tweed and Tammany Hall will try to have their revenge on Governor Tiiden.” A REMARKABLE STORY-—-HOW TWEED ARRIVED IN CUBA. AHxratp reporter, ascertaining yesterday thata mer- chaut of this city, well known in the Cuban trade, hav. ing received letters from William M.
