During the war of 1812-15 he served on the frontier with the rank of ensign and as adjutant of a Dattalion, He established himself about the year 1823 as @ lawyer at Coopersiown, N. Y., and became ideatifiead with the democratio party. 1830 he was appointed Adjutant General, and in 1833 decretary of State and Superimtendent of Common Sehoois, In 1842 ne was elected to the Assembly, and in 1845 he was ehosen to fli a vacanvy in the United States Sonate, caused by th jection of Silas Wright as Governor.

In 1853 he made Assistant Treasurer of the United States in the ety of Now York, but soon resizmed, On December 10, 1 he was appointed secretary of the Treasury, Howell Cobb, resigned. When the civil war broke out Mr, Dix was appointed Major Goneral of tho Now York State Militia, and on May 16, 1861, Major Goneral of the United states Vuluntcers, .

There was s grand republican rally at Terrace Gar- den, Fifty-eighth street and Third avenue, last evening, under the auspices of the Twentieth Assombly District Republican Campaign Club, At half-past seven o'clock the body of the hall was filled, about 2,000 persons being present. Mr. M. M. Vail was called tothe chair, General Sickles entered the hall attended by a number of friends, when the whole audi- @once rose enmasse and gave threo rousing cheers for Bim. Mr Vail made a few remarks and introduced to the assemblage MR. LEVER MORTON, the candidate for Congress, from the Eleventh Con- gressional district, Mr. Morton satd:— Fellow-citizens, 1 must contess that I hardly know how to account for the cordislity with which you bave received the men- tion of my name. It is true that I have accopied the pomtnation with which your Congressional Convention have bouored me. I am nota politician, [ have nevor sought or held office, business, with an twenty-five years in shis commercial em; 1 believe the Repubtic bag a right to command the serv- Vices of any citizen and fa majority of the electors of tne Eleventh Congressional district, which is certainly second to no dwtrict iv the county in the character and intelligenco ot its oitizens, shall approve, I am will- ing to become vour candidute. We are ov the eve ot an election, whieh, 1 believe, be more vital to the country tban any that has taken place s:mco the lamented Lincola was a candidate for re-election an 1864. The sountry bas been passing through @ period of deep distress and but aiready there are indications of a decided smprovement in many branches 0: business, aud I byaly Bolieve that, with the feeling of security which the election of tho republican ticket will insure, the country will start it upon a pew era of prosperity, The country wants a suund currency with a deiluite policy of resump- tion at a doiinite time, and it 18 Decuuse of that 1 am a republican und in favor of due preparation for honest payment in gold inis79, I thank you again for the honor yoo have conferred upon me. Alter Mr. Morten’s addres’ of resolutions indorsing the republican Dational aud State tickers wore adopted. General Sickles spoke for over an hour, and com- mando the ciogest attention of the audience, GENKBAL SICKLES’ SPRECH. Tho nominations made by the republican party, General Sickles said, reminded him of the days o1 his boyhood and early manbood, when it was tho pride of New York to put her best jawyers apd merchants into oifice, Reviewing, then, the bistory of the democratic party, he said it had romaimed out of power jor the last fifteen years, because it was all wrong. Its rule in this city was the worst possible, and it was the eof ail the present troubles in the South. Should jon suceoed in guining the Presi. dency he would take into bis Cabinet the followers of Jefierson Davis, and what loyal, sonsible mau would Jend a hand toward bringing about such an event? Passing on Mr. Tildea’s personal ebaracter, be said:—Before Mr. Tilden represents Himself asa reformer lot bim first reform himsel! aod his own party. He represents no element ot reform; his record absolutely denies that idea, Throughout his career he has been identified with men woo were identified with the greaseet public calamities. He is noteven a loyal citize openly advocated the cause of the South, and main- tained that the chain binding the States together bad not so much vitulity as private contract. In 1868 he was a party in the falsification of 60.000 naturatwation papers. Le indeed traced weed, Sweeney and the rest of tho ring and brought them to justice, but why did he not do this ten years beiore, when he kuewali the time tbhut the systematic swindling wus going on which brought the city to the verge of destruction? Again, his boast that he had reduced the expenses of the State government was false, never had the expouses been greater than under tho last ad- ministration. in sboert, he was throughout bis career a clever dissem ble! rp defender of broken down railroad enterprises n utterly unprineiplod man. “But not alone mines of ihe democratic party,” he continued, “is unworthy of iilng the = Presidency. The party ttseif is utterly undeserving of such an honor. They havo tried every expedient to get into power. In 1864 they appeaiod (o our fears; 10 1368 to our prejudices against the colored mao; in 1872 they pretended to be peniteot and coulessed their entre sutisfaction with all the constitutional amendments; now they come in with nd yet they have no programme, for producing retorm. The democratic party has lived its time—it 1s incapable of living aay longer. Democrats, to be successful, must break up the old organization and form a new one ona broader and more natioual basis. In concluding be expressed bis rm conviction that the T oageam party would come victorious out of the cont Alter General Sickies had Gnished others addressed the meeting, which did not come to an end till a lute THE CITY CANVASS, ANTI-TAMMANY, THE INDEPENDENTS AXD GER- MANS—WHAT 18 PROPOSED FOR THE FU- TURE—SPECULATION UPON COMPTROLLER GREEN'S TACTICS—TO-DAY'S CONFEREXCE—a NEW TICKET PROPOSED, | The apparent coliapse of the snti-Tammany com- Dination was the subject of animated discu terday among the politictaus, It wae generally con- ceded that this coliapso leaves s clear feild upen to Tammany Hail, with her popular Mayoralty caudidate, Smith Kiy, Jr. The action taken by ex-SherfO’Brien attho Anth+Tammany County Convention of Monday night also elicited considerable comment spoke favorabty of the movement, while others did not think itatall desiravie. Of course the tndorse- ment of Smith Ely, Jr., rewaivs to be supplemented with the approval of the conference committees of the independents and Germans, who meet again to-day in consultation with the anti-Tammanyites. The next question arises as to the policy of ravoing a third weket as far other candidates are concerned. 1t is undorstood thatthe names men- toned at Monday’s Convention for the positions of Judges, coroners, Surrogate, Sheriff and Aldermen-at- Large will berevised, and many of them changed at to-day’s conference ti a third ticket is nominated. The German (Ottendorter) organization will now be placed in a more ombarrassing situation than the other two factions who have andertaken this opposition alliance. Taoy will not underiake to support the Tammany ticket ar at present formed. Where, then, are the German democrats to. go in view of the sar- rounding circ ances?

The independemt citizons’ party, which nominated tho Comptroller tor Mayor at the Cooper Institute gathering, may enter tuto th scheme with (hem, but the query next arises, Who w to pay the actual ug expenses of Boxes hat be provided, nd ali other necessary machinery dt At the lowest calculation it will take some $26,0\0 to cover these pecessary ox- penses, if any of the casididates for county office piacea upon the ticket should have a chance of elec- tion irrespective of other ailivations then there might bo a way mapped out for raising the money, but nobody Seems to think that such a combsbation stands the sightest chance of receiving a majority vole on Sues. day next, When Mr. Oswald Ottendorter ran for Mayor two years ago he received about 24,000 votes. Some sa- Ruine politicians now arguo that she German and in pendent ticket could receive a vote of 45,000, which might result in deicaiiog Tammany Hall, thus allowing tbe republicans to slip in with a strong candidate for Mayor. The fipures yesterday discussed by these geu- tlemen stood as ollows :— Probable city aud county votes . Germans and independents + Tammany . Republican This estim: the 46,000 votes given to ihe independent aod German + ticket would bs ail democratic. It 18 conceed 1m this connection that the 100,000 votes cast for Tammany, independents and Gerfaaus would be also given to Samuel J. Tilden, But these speculations are cousid- ered visionary by Tammanyites, who yesterday ex- pressed the optoion that such a combination as that tulked of between the Independents and Germans could net poll more than 20,000 votes at this time. They figure up the prospects, taking this rumored deat into calculation, a8 follows :— Yammany Hall... 85,000 Germans and Indep 20,000 Republicans ,..... ne 30,000 COMYTROLLEK ORKEN'S LATEST ATTITUDE, Many o! she fricuds of Comptroller Green now assort shat the whoie movement, ws lar as their favorite’s candidacy tor Mayor is concerned, simply means an eilort to secure that gentiewan’s reappomiment us | head of the Finauce Deparment His wrm of office expires ou the 20th of November and the appointment | Of @ successor is vested iu Mayor Wickham.

They feel that an adrolt camo has been played, aud claim to see the band of “Uncie Sammy” in the local political manipulations of the past month. 10-DAY'S CONFERENCE. The three conference committees will mect again this morning at the Astor House, itis improbable i that etther the independents or the Gormana will agree upon Smith Ely, Jr, tor Mayor, so that anti-Tammanuy will then witharaw. The prob- abilities are, accurding to statements of outsiders made to the HxkaLp representative yesterday, that Mr. Green will abide the action of the committces. In case of his withdrawal the Germans and independents pro- pose to tssuc an address to the citizens detailing the Tesult of their labors and the impediments placed in their path, after which a disbanding may be proposed. Severa! members of these organizations, however, de- sire to put a strong theket in the tleld, if for no other object than to attempt the destrustion of Tammany Hall canvidates; but this proposition is not likely to bo adopted. ANOTHER PROPOSITION, It was suggested at a late hour fast evening that the conferonee committees should unanimously agree to indorse Mr. Smith Ely, Jr., or Andrew H. Green for Mayor, and then proceed to nominate the tollowing new ticket for other offices Sheriff—Peier Bowe, County Clerk—Joseph Shannon, Superior Court—Henry E.

JOSEPH PULITZER, OF MISSOURI The hall of the Cooper Union was densely crowded last night by men who had assembled to hear Mr Joseph Pulitzer, of Missouri, upon the mmpending el ec- tiou, Itis not too much to say that the honorable gentlemen was received with marked enthusiasm. lt was very evident the audience knew the reason why the assistant editor of the Westliche ost so quickly follewed the great German American orator in New York, and that they eagerly uwaited Mr. Scburz’s searification at tho hands of Mr.Pwiftzer. Nor can it be said they were disappointed. If one may judge from the efforts of the orator last micht it is an exceedingly dargerous thing to turu against you for good reasons a man of eapacity who has followed you enthusiastically in his youth, If dtr, Schurz’s moral back is to be reached by Mr. Palitzer’s rhetoric cortainly the former gentle- man’s back must fee! very sore. As to the audience, they were Ty attentive trom the beginning to the end of the speech, and as each telling biow was delivered they cheered with the greatest enthasiasm, THX SPEECH. Mr. Pulitzer began by saying that he had como there to apswor Carl Schurz—to bury Cwsar, not to praise him. Ho referred to the manner in which Sehurz had been stumping the country for the repablican party, and to the challenge which he had grven Mr. Schurz to mreet nim and debate the issues between them publicly. Mr. Schurz hud answered that be could not do 80 on account of the disparity of vhelr relative positvens. He, Schurz, had been a munister plenipotentiary, a Senator, a major general, &c., aud therefore he could not condoseend to enter inte the lists with one who had never occupied any of these exalted positions Alter baying humor- ously und caustically relerred to their former triead- ship the Missouri legislator called Mr. Schurz his ex- triend, tho ex-Ambasaador, ex-Senator, ex-major gen- eral and e: winer, The portion of the speech which referred personally to tho ex-Senator from Missouri was extremely potmted and humorous, and evoked irequent bursts of anrostrained merriment. The reully damuging of Mr. Pulitzer’s address, however, was that in which be charged Mr. Scharz with veing always consistent 11 bis inconsistency. He in. wtaveed the manner tn whieb the German orator bad opposed the nomimation and clection of iiayes lor Cou- gress tour yearsago; bow be had declared tuat be never could or wouid support Greeley, and yet when the later was nominated by the democratic party he (Schurz) had stumped the whole country for him; how be stumped Indiana for Governor Hendricks, and declared Dimsclf the happrest man in tbe State on the day of Uhe latter's clestion. Aud pow Hayes was the man tor whotn he was stumping the whoie country, and he could not endure Hendricks, ax associated wih the democrutic party, which be (Schurz) proiessed to call rotten. ‘Aiter baving gone, at considerable length. into this pecuharity of Mr. Schurz’s career, the speaker said (hat what bis hearers und what meu all over the couu- try bad to consider wus whether they wanied cbange aud reform or whother they did not; whether they thought the administration as 1 sivod represented gofficiently the bonor, integrity aud political morality of the American peopie, or whether they believed that 16 would ve good to ind some rem- edy jor Whe basyeness, the corruption, the Iruud aud villapy of the republican admiutwiration during the last sixteen years, If they did not think that change ‘was required, and that the government was good enough as it steed, then let them vote tor Rutherlord B. Hayes; if the contrary, then jet them support Sam- uel J, Tilden and reform. (these remurks were re- ceived wish lond and prolonged cheering. ) Mr. Pulitzer made an excellent bit when be expa- supreme solicnude for Gov- this ax a reason why should be substivwied ior Another superb piceooi oratorical dialectics was the syliogiem by which Mr. Pulitzer made Sonurs respon- sibie for the nommation of Mr, Hendricks to ine Vice Presidency. Inuswach as if Schurz bad not stumped ludiaua for him and materially contributed to bis election as Governor, it is certain Hendricks would — beg ey Ragin tego the Vice en dency, Aud yet, the apeaker, this is precisely man rican to-day Scberz cannot “support because he veloogs to the party which the former has Mr, Sebura, attho Fitth Avenue Hotel, speaking in the interests of most necessary reform, and to-day allied with the party which he wished to reform, make areaily good picture, which was relished in the ex- treme vy the packed audicnce and applauded te the echo. Another very strong pointef Mr, Pulitaer's speech was where he depicted Schurz as img that ho maa was stronger than his party, an it, therefore, Sumuol J. Tilden would bave to do all thet his party required him todo, ‘The premises wore hypotheti- cally accepted in full by the spoaker, and then trre- ibly turned it Hayes inthe case of the repab- ican party, The speaker then w ob to way that the os was oni ne phe cou ry tence (and be Up and state ase being three times reiterated and no champion of Hayes appearing, dealening ap- plauso crowned the speaker's boldness.

But to no one fell agreater share of this terribie derisive hilary than to Ben Butler, when Mr. Pulitzer termed rt THE “GREAT IMMACULATE."

FRENCH DEMOCRATS. MASS MEETING AT IRVING HALL Last NIGHT. A mass meeting of Fronch democrats, under the auspices of the ‘Comité Démocratique Independant do Langue Francaise” was beld last evening at Irving Hal The Hall was decorated with the national dags of France and the United States, Among those pre: ent were Messrs. C. Rouszell, H. Larmarcho, Georges Marchand, C. Lasalle, 5, L. Mercier, of the Courrier des Htats; A. Saimon, A, rodesta, W. B. McClellan, F. Kinzier, Judge Alker, E. Naillant, H. W. Stackié, The proceedings were opened by playing “La Mar- seiliaise,”’ everybody rising to his foet and joining in the chorus, MR. COUDERT’S srExcH.

ILLEGAL REGISTRATION. PROVISIONS FOR THE DETECTION OF ¥RAUD AND THE ARREST OF ILLEGALLY WATURALIZED PERSONS. Although the regiztry apd naturalization offices ha’ beor closed stuce Saturday the work of the commitices bas not as yet been completed. The head clerk and ‘one or two attachés are busily engaged in revising tho records aod preparing alphabetical lists of persons who have registered or recoived papers of citizenship through the committeos in Mr. Davenport's office, too, there are indications of even more than usual activity. Lists of suspected persons are being prepared. Maps ot districts and sub-districts are being drawn, and extraordimary efforts made to guard egainet any imposition on the part of repeuters or illegal voters at the polls om Tuesday next The plan for detection of ali kinds of election frauds bas beea so perfected this year, and so inuch care and Jabor have beon devoted to the work of veri- fying the registry that it seems almost impossible for any butalawial voter te put bis ticket in the ballot box. Itis understood that an effort will be made to bafleany repeater who by somo chance may have escaped the Sapervisurs’ scrutiny by wholesule chal- longing. This by some ts judged a repablican expe- dient to intimidate voters in sirong democratic dis tricts, or at all events to impede as much as possibie the casting of a Tilden ballot.

Chamberlain and the Democrats on the Prospects. CoLumata, Oct. 31, 1876. There was some commotion among the military ta duy, tho cause of which was eventually traced te Preparations for the departure of three more compan- jes trom this city to-worrow morning, Two of these companies, I ascertained, were ordered to Anderson county, oue to be located ut Anderson Court House and + the other at Belton, # place tea miles distant. This county has a white majority of 1,800, and as no dis- turbance ba¢ ever occurred in it, and as there eno charges of intimidation, the sending of troops there occasioned surprise among all parties, PROTEST OF REPUBLICANS. The present republican Senator, J. R, Cocnran, from the county, wformed me that he bad protested against the troops being sont there, as bad also the colored chairman of the Republican County Commit- tee, and a mecting bad been held at Anderson Court House by the republicans, which resolved that 20 troops were required there. Five negro deputy United States marshals had previously been appointed for this county, aud, in addition, I loarn to-day that twenty- four negro federal supervisors of election were aiso appoinied. WHITES STILL UNPROTECTED, While these two companies have been thas uncera moniously burried off to Anderson, against the protest of the leaders of both parties, no attention has yet been paid to the request for troops made by colored democrats and white citizens in the four heavy negro seacoast countics of Colleton, Beaufort, Charleston and Georgetown, applications for which are pigeon- holed at General Ruger’s headquarters. It will be secon from this tbat the massing of trocpsin heavy democratic counties, the appointment of negro deputy marshals and foderai supervisors of election, is but carrying out tho programme of intimidation by the agencies of the United States gov- ernment and, if possible, to provoke disturbances and collisions withthe troop. It isin thetwo Congres- sional districts, which aro almost certain to elect the democratic candidates, that the entire military force is being concentrated, where wholesale arrests are to bet mado on tho eve of election ana where every artifice is" being resorted to for the purpose of inciting rios and! vloods..ed. 4 BOMBSHELL AMONG THR MARSHALS. Areport 18 current which, if true, will dampen the ordeal of the little army of deputy marshals now ap~* pointed in all the upper counties in tho State, The patriotism and partisan zeal of those officers, white’ and colored, is due in a great measure to the realiza- tion of $5 per day tor their services, to be paid them by” tho United States Marshal, It is stated, however, that an order was received from Attorney General’ Taft to-day to the effect that no deputy marsbals would be entitled to compensation unless employed in cities of 20,000 inhabitants, This will be a bombshell im the ranks of Marshal Wallace’s corps of deputies. The only other possibility of getting paid: for their services is in the very remote aud Uncertain’ contingency of the voting of a special appropriation: for that purpose by the next Congress. Resignations aro anticipated when (nls announcement is made, as ‘the duties of deputies in some locaiities are by ne means agreeable. CHAMBERLAIN’S CLAIMS, Governor Chamberlain claims that he can be elected by 25,000 majority if there tsa free election, Ho bases his estrmates on the State census of 1875, which gives 36,000 moro negro males than whites of the same age 1m the State, making the liberal allowance at the same time of 10,000 negro votes for Hampton Unitor- tunately, though, the Governor does not think thore will be a freo election, He says the rifle clubs will patrol roads and prevent the negroes trom, going to the polls, uotwithstanding the presence of the troops. Tho deduction then to be made from the Governor’s remarks |s that as there will not bea irce eloction, be cannot be elected by 25,000 majority, The democrats, I find, are by no me disposed to view the result througn the Governor's glasses. They have prepared accurate resters inthe different coanties which indicate a colored majority of not more thaa 20,000, the estimate given also by soveral leading re- pablicaas, DRMOCRATIC HOPES. They state that this majority will be overcome; that 1m 1870 at least 5,000 colored men voted for Judge Car- penter against the regular pomince, Governor Scott, that 10 1872 12,000 voted against Governor Moses and in 1874 13,0C0 voted against Governor Chamberlaio. ‘This number they cli for Hampton, which added to the full white vote never betore brought out will insure his clection by 6,000 of 6,000 majority.
