THE .BALD-HEADED KAGLE, HOW EX-SPEAKER HUSTED MADE ONE THOU- SAND DOLLARS BY A WOOD CONTRACT FOR BING BING PRISON, Srxo Sixo, Nov, 1, 1876 Among the witnesses who testified before the Prison Investigating Committeo sitting bere appeared re- Gently Stephon MeKeel, who made disclosures that Girectly affect the character of James W. Husted, Present Speaker of the Assembiy, and now a candi- date for re-election to the House from his, Weat- chester (Peekskill), district, Mr. McKeel swore that he and Byron A. Yeomans hada contract to supply Bing Sing Prison with wood during certain years with Henry C. Nelson, then Warden of the prison, and that after making elaborate preparations to Mil the contract and partiy complying with it, withdut any fauit of their own, the contract bad been abrogated and they sufered a loss of at least $3,500. They made out a claim against the State for that amount and gave it into the bands of Mr. Sarles Drew, then a member, to put through, but by some manipulation, of which Mr. McKeel could give uo clear account, the claim ‘went to the Committee om Ways and Mi instead of the Committee on Claims, It subsequently reappearea yy Supply bill of the year 1871 with the amount fixed at $4,500 and in that shape was passed. Soon alte! ward Mr. McKee! met Mr. Husted and said that tho amount was im excess of what he deruanded by $1,000, to which Mr. Husted replied that he could draw the whole amount and pay him (Husted) the extra thou- send for bis services. Mr. Husted had been on the Committee of Ways and Means, which reported the item, the services were represented to have been pertormed chiefly 1m the committee, Mr, McKeel te: tities that the payment was then mado to Mr. Husted, These facts have not yet been officially reported, but bet probably appear in the next report of the commis- sion. THE NEW JERSEY CANVASS. DEMOCRATIC AND REPUBLICAN TICKETS FOR THE STATE—THE PROBABLE DEMOCRATIC MAJORITY FOR PRESIDENTIAL ELECTORS—A FIGHT FOR UNITED STATES SENATOR. TreNtox, Nov. 1, 1876.

The democrats this year are more coniident of elect- ‘ng their ticket than are the republicans, and the latter are using their best efforin to carry the Legislature, believing that they yd Buta poor chance of elect- ing their electoral ticket. Many republicans have cunceded a democratic majority of about 5,000 on the electoral ticket, while democrats claim as high 10,000, The last Legislature stood:—Senate, 12 republicans, Ddemocrats; House, 37 republicans, 23 democrats; Majority on juint balldt, 17, At this election eight re- publicans and seven democrats held over in the Sen- ate, A United States Sen to succeed F, T.

Mr. Joseph Pulitzer addressed last evening at tne ficxamer Riding School of Hoboken the largest meet~ Ing of Gorm Probably ever held in the State of New Jersey. Carl Schurz spoke im the same place a woek ago last might in advocacy of Hayes, and great excitement prevalicd to hear Josoph Palitzer’s answer -to Carl Schurz, Huge posters bad been conspicuously displayed all over Hoboken for some days, which were headed “Pulitzer’s. Answer to Carl Schurz,’ id over 10,000 cireulars had deem aistributed among the Germans of Hoboken, Jersoy City, Union Hill and the notghborhood, warning them that Joseph Palitzer was going throagh his “sly, wicky and Insidious oratory’ to ‘‘annihtiate” Carl Bchura, The circular says:—“Mr. Pulitzer has made the complete annihilation of Carl Schurz his sole sub- Ject, and it must be conceded by bis enemies, as well as by his irionds, that he has been somewhat suscess- ful, thos far, through the credulity of many of bis countrymen,” and then it goes on to ‘she is united, And ci say that sobody should believe a word of Palitzer’s speech at tne Hexamer Riding School mass meeting last night Party teelieg ve- tween the friends of Schurz and Pulitzer ran so high that a large posse of police were stationed at the meeting place, as it was evidently feared that a violent attempt would be made to interrupt amd silence Mr. Palitas The Riding Scnoo! is an immense building on Hudson street, which had been trausformed into a hall, a long betore eight o'clock it was packed to suffocation by a crewd which must have numbered NBARLY FIVE THOUSAND PEOPLE. At the moment when the crowd caught sight of Mr, Pulitzer’s face there rose an outburst of cheering which lasted for several moments. Hats and bandkerebefs were waved and the whole audience rose en masse and gave the orator of the evening three tong prolonged ‘shoe: whieh made the very rafters ring. Mr. Alfred Hoffman, the chairman of the meeting, introduced the prator amid great cheering. He said that Mr, Schurz bad spoken on one side of the question at this hall, and the fair, impartial Germans of Jersey would surely and gladly bear the other side of the story irom Mr. Pulitzer, his fellow associate and part- ner. (Applause. ) ‘1 do not know," Mr. Pulitzer began, “why I should deserve such an enthusiastic reception, uniess 1b be that I atm here to defend tue truth and not to allow falsebood and trickery to win this campaign. (Ap- plause.) I did not come here to annihilate Cari Schurz, asa circular, which has been distributed ali day, says 1 would. 1 do not wish to aunibilate him; on the contrary, I have tor him, porsonally, the very bighest respect, ahd only wish to relute his political fallacies which I consider dangerous to the happiness and prosperity of our adopted country.

Mr. Pulitzer id he was glad to know that a very larg rtion of the meeting was composed of republicans. He had always desired in this campaign to address républicans aud not aemo- crate—the democrats wi 1 right, anyw: (Great appl Mr, Pulitzer defended himself against the charge that he nad unjustly attacked Mr. Schurz in- stead of Hayes, deciaring that Hayes was but a cipher, and that he must battle, not against Hayes, who was nobedy, but against the men who were now engaged in trying to make Hayes President. Carl Schurz was one of these men. (Hisses.) He was working nand in band with Robeson, or Robbersun, w York journal had called him—(laughter)—a distinguished countryman of yours, with Zach Chandler, James Blaine, the great rebel eater, aud other distupguished reformers. (Laughter. HAYES’ GRATITUDE, ‘Mr. Pulitzer then drew in lively colors the picture of Hayen seated in the Presidential chair through the efforts of the whole party—from Butler, Belknap, Bab- cock, down to the lowest whiskey thief, and tryicg to disregard bis obligations of gratitude, It was inani- festly imporsible, Hayes had been represented a: t, true hearted ma his frends, and if be ww violate the sacred pledg appl Hayes would advice and consent of @ man as true as ste: to uch how could he thus of gratitude? (Laughter and ve to jorm his Cabinet by the the Senate, as the constitution Tequired, and who would meet him on she threshold of the Senate ag its greate: id purest leader? Why that great reformer, Jim Biaine—(laughter)—who, after having been convicted of jobbery and corruption by a rebel House of Representatives, was clevated by an admiring and gratetui party to the Senate of the United States. (Hilarious laughter.) MAYES’ LETTRR. Mr. Pulitzer sarcastically exumined Mr. Hayes? claims to bea true relormer and ve summed them up as follows:—He had signed his letter of acceptance, in which he gave such « glowing programme of civil service reform. (Laughter,) He bad put his name to that paper. (Lauxhter.) Mr. Pulitzer alluaed to the statements made dur.ng the revent campaign in Ohio, and which had never been denied by Mr. Schurz that the latier had written Mr. Hay letter. Here a voice loudly interrupted him and asked, “Who nad said that?'’ Mr, Pulitzer promptly replied that the assertion bad been made a hundred times and had never been devied., and ive begued the reporters to note that Mr. Schurz would never deuy it, either. (Lauguter and applause.) “Well, have you had enough ?’’ come democrat asked the questioner, and there secmed to be danger of a personal altercation between sone republicans and the democrats, when the speaker begged that all the re- publicans in the bali be treated with the utmost kind- ness and consideration, as be had come to speak to republicans more \han to aemocrats, in order to extri- cate the tullowera of Schurz irom their errors, (Ap- plause.) FANATIC. Mr. Pulitzer an enteruning burlesque of the horrors of Tilden’s régime as depicted by the republi- cans, who felt that Mr. Tilden was bound to be the next President—the current was setting irresistibly in GION the direction of a tremenaous democratic victory next | Tuesday. (Applause.) But, ob, what terrible things were predicted of Tiiden’s administration! Even the embers of the religious wariare were stirred up by these (unat; prophets, Tue democrats wore work- ing, they said, in the interesis of the Chureh of Romo, in the interests of the Pope—(laughter)—and to juuge from what they said it would really seem as though one of tho objects of the democratic canvass was uot to elect Samuel J, Tilden President, but to import the | Pope from Rome and to crown hint at Waxnington. (Uproarious laughter.) Wasa party, which used such dastaraly means to array Catholic against Protestant, to loment a religious war iu this nobie land of religious toleration, worthy of being tirusted with the na. tonal government? (Loud cries of *No, no.”’) “An. other gréat bugaboo was the rebel c aims seare; but, alas! Mr. Tilden’s letter bad nipped that tn the bad. To whom would you rather trast this govern- ment, my counirymen, to the democratic | House, which reduced taxation by $30,000,000, and to Samuel J. Tilden or to Ben Butler as the leader of the House, Jim Binine as the leader of the Senate and Hayes in tho White House? (Tremendous ap- planse.) Mr. Pulitzer arraigned the republican party aiso for its attempt to rekindle fraternal strife. My country- men, he said, | ask you to think of Germany, our own Deioved Fatherland. Why is she greatnow? Because our auopted country be great and glorious without teing united? Cun it be great with North and South divided by sectional hatred? (Cries of ‘No, no.”") The oration, which riveted the attention of the audience to the lass, closed with the following efec- tive peroration :— We demand achange! We demand it in the nemo of honor, in the name of honesty, in the name of jus tice, in the name of liberty! We demand it, not tor the c of party, but for the sake of country! We demand it, not for the sake of the offices, but to restore Fepudiican institutions irom aecay and ruiv to their former power and purity! We demand a change to re- Store peace and prosperity xt home and respect abroad. We demand a change on bebalf of national unity andconcord. Wedemand a change that confidence may returo; that labor may again tind employment d our prostrate trade and indusiry may revive. We mand a cl that public bardens may be reduced and public abuses remedied. We demand a change reiorm aud purit il prevail’ in our govern- ment, We demand a change that the American peo- ple, eolemn'y condemning corruption and commend- ing honesty, may rise above prejudice and partisanship and proserve our glorious Repubtic!

After a tew duced Mr. ctype who was received with a m: thusiastic burst of applause. For over an hour half the Senater spoke. His speech was a calm dispassionate review of the issues dividing parties agiiating the country. He arraigned the repub- lean party and its misgovernment and maladminis- tration, not alone in his own words, but in the language of Carl Schurz and Lyman Trambull. After touching apon all the leading issuon and citing if to show where aud why tue opposition thetr discussion, he declared that there was one issue that was greater than finance, more commandiog than the tariff or reform, d that was American liverty, which was now menaced North #8 well as South’ by the administration — party.

THE WAR BETWEEN THE LOWELL LAWYER AND THE CONCOBD COUNSELLOR—THE NATIONAL REPUBLICAN COMMITTEE CALLED TO THE RESCUER—BUTLER'S ELECTION 6AID TO BE GENERALLY CONCEDED, Lownut, Mass., Nov. 1, 1 “Red bot and still heating’’—that is the fittest lane guage to describe the present contest between General Butler, Judge Hoar and Mr. Tarbox for the honors in- cident to representing the Sevoath Massachusetia dis- trict inthe next Congress, There was never sucha stirring political campaign in the State befor doubt if there has but rarely been on where characterized by the employment such varicd means to atir up popular en- thusiasm and jubilant feeling in behalf of the rival candidates so arxious to serve thvir country, In- deed, it would seem to an outsider who might happen to stumble into the district that the contest between Hayes and Tilden was utterly insignificant in impor- tance as compared with the election or defeat of Gon- eral Butler, The general election aud the chances of Charles Francis Adan nd Mr. Rice for the Governor- ship are almost lost sight of in the smoke and dust of the flerce battle which 1s going on here in old Middle- sex. There will not be a town or hamlet im she whole district gby the day of election but will have been regaled more than onco by rehearsals of the virtuos and faults of the ambitious gentiemen whoare so anxious for the approval and votes of their fellow citizens, Tho gallant trio of candidates, who them- selves are most industrious in proclaiming their own fitness and denouncing the demerits of their oppo- nents, are supported by almost brigades of stump speakers, some able and eloquent, _otber8 indifferent or inferior oraters, who are pouring out personal abuse upon their rivals in a manner that can hardly fail to shock and alarm the cali and placid na- tures of the better portion of the community. GSXYKAL BUTLER TO BE ANSWERED, The late letter of General Butler to Judge Hoar, a full abstract of which appeared in the Henan, bas created the liveliest comment tbronghout the district, and fairness compels me to say that it has dono a groat deal toward injuring the Judge in the estimation of many who were more than half committed to his support. Of course such a wholesale criticism could not be allowed to pass unnoticed, and the answer willcome ina few days in the shape of an unouy- mously written life of General Buuer, It bas been prepared v.ry secretly, und if Judge Hoar was not the actual writer it may be pretty Juirly assumed that he bas at least bad the supervision of the work.
