NEW YORK HERALD, TUESDAY, NOVEMBER 5, 1878.-WITH SUPPLEMEN' | could be learned yesterday, to return Mr. Wood, in | order that he may do something with the tariff. dany men in the district, who are not personally favorable to Mr, Wood, think, as did the yreat Lin. ‘oln, that it is rossing ‘ stream,” neir vote for Mr. Wood. Mr. Wood says he feels ‘pnfident of being elected, with as good a majority as .¢ got two years ago. Mr. Hardy and Mr. Berryman f re also confident of being elected. They could not we found around headquarters yesterday, but were doth abroad through the district encouraging their friends and drawing the threads of the past week’s work together. TENTH CONGRESSIONAL DISTRICT. ‘The day in this district was signalized by a removal ™@ the part of ex-Senator James O’Brien from his > partments in the Ashland House adjacent to those | »ccupied by Mr. Potter to Glass Hall, in East Thirty- ourth street, near Third avenue. The headquarters | were deserted in both places, save by a few hang- wwe on, who looked like what Mayor Havemeyer used | ‘0 call “big pipe men.” ‘The presence of Mr. O’Brien nm a political canvass is always sure to pro- | Ice a | lively time. . His youth, popularity md wonderful vigor seem to awaken & ife that without him would be wanting. In the dis- rict there was no want of excitement yesterday, for { mevery corner and in every store discussion was tot concerning the relative merits of Mr. Potter and “fr, O'Brien. An amusing scene occurred under the Chirty-fourth street depot of the New York Elevated tailroad about dusk, when a company of wrangling lemocrats there congregtien. one fellow of brilliant data in- venting powers, ‘‘that Jimmy O'Brien stole $2,000,000 vat of the Sheriff's office.” “I don't know that same; but allowin’ he stole a ® better man nor your “The likes ob ye,” chimed in another O’Brien man, flkin ov Jimmy O’Brien! I was tould the other day dy a Clontarf man that your man’s futher shot father Brannigan.” The Potter man fot a Rowland for his Oliver, but was | equal to the occasion. “That's a blank lie, for the | same Judge Keogh that died the other day sintinced a } man named O’Brien, from Albany, for the job.”” | “It don’t make a blank bit of difference. I'd vote | | for Jimmy O’Brien if he shot me father.” “It's ye and the likes of ye that’ll be votin’ for him to-morrow. I'd vote for Potter if he was the divil himself.” No converts, no cracked heads, ELEVENTH CONGRESSIONAL DISTRICT. Probably in no district within the city limits is the feeling so intense asin the Eleventh Congressional district, and certainly in none has such strong effort been put forth. The adherents of Mr. Morton and Mr. Willis have been untiring, and both yesterday proclaimed their confidence in the success of their efforts. An ominous quiet pervaded the district; the speechmaking and all public demonstration concluded on Saturday night, ‘and at the combination | end democratic headquarters little else than discuss- | Ing the probabilities was done. From sunrise until late in-the night both candidates were abroad inspect- Ing the arrangements for the fight and visiting the | weak spots here and there endeavoring to convert the stubborn and undecided. The scat of political ac- livity seemed after nightfall to be transferred to St. Patrick's Cathedral, where, at the table of St. Cecilia's Church, an opera cloak was being rafiled off on votes, the contest being between Mrs. Willis and Mrs, Mor- ton. At the various Assembly headquarters in the district tickets were bei: folded for use at the boxes this morning. Both Mr. Morton and Mr. Willis have sent to every istered voter in the district a ticket and a tircular. This feature of the canvass is not much re- lied upon, however, and both the candidates have, as’ far as possible, personally seen every influential man and _ property holder ‘from Twenty-sixth street to the Harlem River. In an interview with Mr. Morton, at his headquarters in the Grand Union Hall yesterday afternoon, he ex- ressed entire confidence in his election. He said he jad such assurance to corroborate his confidence as seldom fell to the lot of a candidate. The sentiment of the district was strongly in favor of a change in representation in Congress, and he hoped for, in fact he was assured of, many democratic votes. The manifesto made out in his favor by mer- chants, bankers and business men of the district, which he did not see until it was printed in tho Henaup, had, he said, done him much good. There was nothing of boasting in this, for the manifesto has helped Mr. Morton’ very much, and one cannot go around the Elev- enth ' Congressional district without finding that the sentiment of the business community is with him. Mr. Morton and his friends fix the major- Lo between 2,500 and 3,000. The upper districts, which saved the defeat of Willis at the election two ears ago, are counted on for a good round ma- jority ths time for Mr. Morton. Mr. Cowing, the candidate for City Judge on the combi- nation ticket, is confident that the districts which saved Willis two years ago will be for Morton this year. Allowing that Mr. Morton will hold his own below Seventy-ninth street, and accepting these Bssurances concerning the upper district elfth ward) his election scems assured. The friends of Mr. Morton are elate, confident and well satisfied with the manner in which his canvass has been conducted. ‘The other side of the house is equally confident of success, and, when listening to the supporters of both candidates, one could not avoid the sad thought that such sturdy faith would in either case soon be proved unworthy its object. Mr. Willis suid he was sure of victory ; that his prospects were then brighter than on the day before election two years ago. He then | had no such strong assurances of success as were at present «at hand. In the districts where durin the last race he was he was confident of a good big major- ity to-day. Last year he was defeated as far up as Seventy-ninth street, and but for the work of his friends in the Twelfth ward he would not have been a member of Congress. The men who had charge of his business in the Twelfth ward two years ago were still on hand ready to work for him. mtleman who is familiar with the district, and who is one of the lieutenants of Mr. Willis, explains the grounds on which his chief and the men who aro Cao oe his campaign hope to win as follows:—‘The Eleventh, Fifteenth and_Seven- teenth Assembly districts, and the Fifteenth Election district of this Nineteenth Assembly district, we have ascertained by actual contest to be in favor of Willis. The banner district last year gave Willis a majority of 151; this year it will give him 200 majority. In the Eighteenth and Twentieth Assombly districts the race will closely contested, but we are hopeful they will give Willis a small majority, Leaving these small majorities, which are contingent, out of the question, we have a sure thing on the other districts, which last time defeated Willis. With these facta ascertained and the Twenty-first As- sembly district with us (of which, by the way, there can be no doubt) we will have a clear majority in the whole district of 2,000. In these lower districts we have more working friends than our opponents give ‘us credit for.” A dozen men were busy ali day at the rooms of tho Rossmore Club, on Broadway and Thirty-seventh street, folding tickets for Wi and otherwise pre- paring for businces to-day. CAMPAIGN NOTES. Election Commissioner Angell will sit in Henry's brick building, at 167th street, to hear charges in pasos of fraudilent voting, For the same purpose United States Commissioner Little will sit in Lincoln Hall, M6th strect and Third avenue, and the usual number of Commissioners will sit in the Post Office building. At a meeting of the Young Men's Democratic Club, on Monday, October 28, a resolution indorsing Mr. Cooper’s nomination was adopted. Last evening it ‘was rescinded, as it is a violation of the club's policy to indorse candidates for local office. . The Bulletins of the New York Herat announcing the result of the elections to-day will be read between the acts at the Park, Eroadway, Fifth Avenue, Harry Hill’s and other theatres during the evening perform- ance. This is a much moro comfortable way of re- ceiving the news than to stand in a dense crowd on # cold night and watch the neighboring walls, Arrange- ments have been made with the Western Union Telograph Company for the reception of election re- turns at the Manhattan Club House this evening. At mi Cathedral fair the returns will also be pub- BETTING ON THE RESULT—MUCH TALK BUT LITTLE MONEY CHANGING HANDS—A SAMPLE OF THE WAGERS, ‘To feel the political pulse of the metropolis as indi- cated by bets upon the result, a Henaup reporter yes- terday visited numerous partisan resorts, He found, as a rule, that actual betting was light, although offers and counter offers to stake money on the event wore to be heard on every hand. The regulation corner politician—his imagination teeming with millions, while his pocket containod a solitary nickel—was out in full array, He could be detected by his square toed shoes, paste diamond pin, mammoth cigars and general aroma of mint and whiskey. Added to these signs was the recklessness with which he offered to wager thousands on his favorites, Ho rarely went below $500, and $1,000 was his standard offer. When it occasionally happened some bystander offered to wager 4 modest ten-dollar note against him he turned scornfully on the intruder, and replied that anything less than a couple of hundred “wasn’t worth naming.” It might be for some, he conde- sconded to explain, but for him, his time was too valu- able to keep track of such insignificant beta. ‘The bond fide batters were few. Said an old sport ing man, of Barclay strest, to the reporter, “I do not remember ever seeing an election with such little betting goin on. People seem either hard up or afraid. m stakeholder for $400 or $500 in small surDs; | but that's nothing compared with other elec | i } tions, “What is the general run of the betting, no far aw you have seo?’ asked the reporter, “Well, on Saturday Cooper was aienay the favorite, but there seems to be a reaction. I have heard # good Bisny auti-Tammany men, who were loud on Satur. fog tu tonee of Cooper, take water to-day when even were offered. Still there are nr Hey offering slight odds on Cooper, but I see the fe is chang- in favor of Schell, It is going to be s mighty tight race; that’s my opinion.” AT THE ASTOR HOUSE, The rotunda of the Astor H@use at noon presented an animated appearance. Nothing but politics could be heard. Groups of excited tisans blocked the passageways, hung on _ the stairs, Ssoneet the lunch counters and encompassed the bar. Amid the din and confusion could be heard, at short intervals, the names of Cooper, Schell, Bedford and others, mingled with emphatic expres- sions relative to majorities for each. Supporters of Tammany who believed that that ticket would receive @ majority of at least 15,000 votes were numerous; while, on the other hand, were to be seen equally con- fident partisans of thecombination. There was, how- ever, only a little money changing hands, Mr. Allen, roprietor of the house, denied the report that he was The stakeholder of $10,000, “Not # dollar,’ said he, ‘has been placed in my hands on the election, and I do not personally know that any sums have changed hands.” ‘The reporter could find but three or four actual bets, and all of these were small, the largest $100, Hundreds of offers to bet were heard of, but none of them resulted in anything definite. In some instances the better wanted large odds; in others, large majorities, One prominent sporting man loudly offered to bet $1,000 to $750 that Cooper wonld be elected, but nobody took him up, although shortly afterward the reporter heard of a man having aroll of bills in his pocket looking diligently after the person who made the offer, but who had mean- w made himself scarce, A STANDING BET. Among the persons seen by the reporter were J. B. Haskin and ex-Senator Bixby. The former said, in answer to the reporter's inquiry as to how betting stood:—I am not a betting man; but you may say in to-morrow’s Henap that I have $1,000 to back my belief that Mr. Cooper will be elected Mayor. This bet, you may further state, is open until noon to- morrow at my office on Nassau street." Ex-Seniator Bixby, who hay and heard the statement ‘of Mr. also willing to stake $1,000 on the success of the Cooper ticket, and likewise authorize you to state that the offer is open until noon to-morrow.” Subse- quently the reporter met Jerome Buck, who, on being asked how the betting stood, said that he would bet $1,000 even on Cooper's election. It may be re- marked just here as @ significant fact that gentlemen who were mayponed to derive their inspiration from Haskin and Bixby were loud last week in offer- ing bets of $1,000 to $800. ‘Their change yesterday to the offering of $1,000 only when $1,000 could be to meet it on even terms was, in the opinion of many, brought about by the condition of the weather. Up town thé many ticket was firm, and the re- porter heard of numerous bets of even money offered y Cooper men having been quickly taken. Betting on other candidates wae of a desultory and varying char- acter. One hundred to fifty was taken in favor of O'Brien for Congress; $100 to $50 in favor of Morton, and $100 to $75 in favor of McCook. Betting on the result in the Fifth Congressional district was even, and considerable money in sinall sums at that rate was put up by the friends of Bourke and Muller re- spectively.

Wolf THE ELECTION It is expected, should the weather prove fine to- day, that an unusually heavy vote will be polled in Brooklyn for an off year. Never before, perhaps, has so thorough and complete a canvass of the voters been made in Kings county in the interest of the various cliques, factions and parties. The candidates are more numerous than heretofore, and cach office hunter has exerted himself to the fullest extent to secure the support of his friends and neighbors, Every house in the city has been canvassed and the male occupants have been fully supplied with sets of ball ts and pasters, so that each voter can go to the polls fully equipped for voting, and perfectly independent of the too often over-solicitous ticket pedler, The main interest locally centres on the race for Sheriff, the republican candidate being Jacob Worth and the democratic Thomas M. Riley. Last night the friends of both these candidates were satisfied of the success of their respective standard bearers and betting was about even. Mr. Kingsland, the independent democratic and greenback candidate, will also remain in the field for Sheriff, despite the efforts that have been made to have him withdrew in favor of Mr. Riley. The polls will open at twenty minutes to seven A. M. and will close at eight minutes to five .P. M., thus allowing ten hours and seventeen minutes for voting. In the evening the returns will be exhibited on an illuminated bulletin by the Henatp in City Hall square, at the head of yrtle avenue. IN BROOKLYN. National. 1—Gilbert Applegotte.. a—F. K.

SALOON KEEPERS AND POLITICS, A large meeting of German saloon keepers was held at the Academy of Music, Newark, yesterday after- noon, the object being to hear the report of the com- mittee appointed at a previous meeting of the Protec- tive Association. The committee reported that they had seen all the candidates on the subject of their views regarding the Sunday law. None of the republican candidates, the report, as read by Mr. Hausling, says, would sign any agreement, but Messrs. Marsh and Brown, the democratic candidates for Senator and Sheriff, had pledged them- selves as being favorable to the brewers and saloon keepers’ cause. The report closed with a recommendation to the association to support Brown and Marsh. There was considerable debate on this subject, but the meeting adjourned without taking any action one way or the other. Mr. Brown, the democratic nominee, exhibited a paper last evening signed by Messrs, Beda Voight, Gottfried Kruger and three other committeemen, de- claring that the report that he had signed any such paper as stated was false. It is said, therefore, that a fraud was parPotrated on the meetii by some one. Mr. Van Rensselaer, the republican candidate, says he refused to sign an agreement of- fered him, as follows:—‘“To put six liberal Germans on the Grand Jury, fifteen on each petit jury, and to use his influence against any further enforcement of the Sunday law.” THE OLD BAY STATE. LATEST ESTIMATES AS TO THE PROBABLE RE- SULT OF THE ELECTION—REPUBLICANS SAN- GUINE OF S8UCCESS—BUTLER'S AWFUL AND WONDERFUL CAMPAIGN. Boston, Mass., Nov. 4, 1878. To-morrow will decide whether Benjamin F. Butler will take another step forward in his scramble for the Presidency or be shelved politically forever. His most sanguine friends are willing to admit that if he is beaten this year his prestige in the Bay State will wither beneath the ‘killing frost.” He has conducted one of the most extraordinary campaigns ever wit- nessed here, speaking in almost every city, town, village and hamlet in the Commonwealth, addressing on some days three different audiences. His cam- paign has been solely on State issues, except on the financial question. Wherever he touched on this he advocated the softest of soft money. His election would be a square indorsement by the State of Massa- chusetts of the financial heresies of Voorhees, Kelley, Phillips, Butler, e¢ id genus omne. Besides this, it would be regarded in many quarters as an encourage- ment to Kearneyisin, which has cropped out here in the large cities under the fostering care of the sand lot orator from California, There are many intelli- gent, patriotic and honorable men in the Butler movement, but the bulk of his following is from among the restless classes, who are somewhat pinched by the stress of the times. Against these are arrayed the merchants, manufacturers, bankers and the “solid men” of the State. There is no doubt that the indiscriminate abuse of General Butler by the Republican State Committee and the anti-Butler press, has made him many friends, because ha has refuted nine-tenths of all the charges against him as soon as they were published. The campaign has been ono of personalities; the military, legislative and legal record of the “Essex statesman” has been overhauled in Washington, New Orleans, Boston, Lowell and Gloucester, where he has at one time or another resided; but the accusations of mis- appropriation, inefliciency and plunder urged against. him could not in cases hold water, His following is personal to a great extent and the effect of campaign literature has not beon ss marked as might be expected. The movement to make Judge Ab- bot the regular democratic nominee was designed first to preserve the organization from being gobbled up by Butler, and secondly to give honest democrats ® chance to vote according to conscience. The antip- athy to the General in the regular democratic fold is, however, so strong that a fair percentage of the men now quoted on the Abbot lists will vote for Talbot simply to swell the plurality to be rolled up against Butlerism, THE LAST KFFORT—ARRESTS THREATENED, With to-night’s rallies the preliminary battle ends. To-morrow the real struggle will begin. In this city the most strenuous efforts will be made to get every voter to the polls. The republicans are thoroughly organized, have plenty of money and # firm deter- mination to maintain their hold én the State govern- jos will be ready at every polling pre- ment.

Chandler, a son of Peleg W. Chandler, is personally looking after this portion of the campaign work. He has been conducting a bureau of inapec- tion in Sears’ Building for over three wecks. About fifteen clerks are employed and as many canvassers, who go from house to house collecting evidence on which to arrest parties who may attempt to voto fraudulently. Bills will be posted all through the city early to-morrow morning, warning all men against whom evidence of that nature cxists to stay away from the polls or they will be arrested, GUESSING AT THE RESULT. A visit to the several headquarters this forenoon showed that the campaign committces were hard at work. No more documents are to be sent abroad, but the detail» of printing tickets, in- structing ward officers, &c., occupied the at tention of the managers. ‘There is still a very wide discrepancy between the figures of the two leading parties. At the Talbot headquarters the information was furnished that that the repuabli- can ticket would be elected by a pluralty of 16,000, At the Butler headqarters it was claimed that the General would have from 15,000 to 26,000 piuraity with the balance of the ticket falling below these figures some 10,000 or 12,000 votes. Both parties almost agree on the vote to be cast for Abbot and Miner, placing that ot e former at from 25,000 to 30,000, and the latter at 56,000 or 6,000. Krom these exti- mates, so widely divergent, it is hard to draw anything like a reliable conclusion. ,.The more moderate men of both parties agree that the vote will be close, ‘The aggregate vote for Governor may be set down at about 245, In 1876, for the Pre ential elec- tion, there polled over 268,000—the largest over cast in the State. ‘The following for Governor there were polled 184,000, showing a falling off of 74,000, Allowing for the interest taken in thie year’s contest and the fact that it is Congressional year it may be safe to assume that 60,000 more voters will come out this year than last. In 1876 the vote was divided between Hayes and Tilden, as follows :—Layes, 150,053; Tilden, 108, 785—showing @ plurality of 41,275. In is77 the record showed tor Governor :—-lIice, 91,255; Gaston, 73,185; Pitman, 16,354; Philips, 9,552 majority against Rice of 1,836, and a plural- ity for him over Guston of 15,070—almost the same proportion. This year, supposing there be cast 245,000, it will be divided as follows, according to the figures of very shrewd calculators ‘albot, 110,000; 101,000; Abbott, 27,000; Miner, 7,000. rae are based on estimates furnished at n headguart: In order that Talbot et 110,000 it will be oem rt the republi- cans to bring out in all 190,000 or 000 votes, for roma 20.000 to 26.000 will vate for Butler, Dhia added Butler, ry to about 75,000 democratic votes, will make his ag- gregate 100,000 or thereabouts. To be elected Talbot imust beat 100,000. I think the vote will be closer to- morrow than people imagine. The contest for Congressional honors is as hot a8 that for the Governorship. There is a probabilit; that four democratic Congressmen may ested, but it is not very strong. They would-be Dean in the Third, Morse in the Fourth, Nathan Clark in the Fifth and Eli Thayer in the Ninth district, The others are all safe for the republicans. BUNCOMBE FOR BUTLER. WENDELL PHILLIPS AT THE ELEVENTH HOUR PROCLAIMS THE ESSEX STATESMAN ‘‘HONEST"— BEN'S ELOQUENT PARENTHESIS—ADVISING A RESISTANCE TO THE MARSHALS, {BY TELEGRAPH TO THE HERALD.] Boston, Nov. 4, 1878. General Butler secured Tremont Temple and Fan- euil Hall for the closing rallies of his campaign. At Tremont ‘Temple it required all the energy of a special detail of police to keep order and preserve the hall from the inroads of a large gang of persons who tried to got in. The speakers were frequently inter- rupted by cries for police at the several doors. At half-past seven Charles M. Sttauss, who was nominated for Secretary of State, opened the meeting with a short speech, and then introduced Major Mc- Cafferty, of Worcester, who struggled with the noise and confusion of the floor, and delivered a strong speech on the State issues, denying that the financial issue was not a component part of the present cam- paign. He said that if the present battle for a free vote in this Commonwealth did not succeed there might be a very free fight, During the Major's speech Wendell Phillips came on the platform and was greeted with three tremendous cheers. WENDELL PHILLIPS FOR BUTLER. At the close of his speech Mr. Strauss stepped for- ward and introduced Wendell Phillips. The old anti- slavery agitator, who had been hooted from the same platform twonty years ago for his radical views, was cheered for five minutes. He said, in opening, that le hoped every man of the 4,000 in the hall would vote for Butler to-morrow, for it is generally conceded that if Boston gives him a majority the rest of the State will follow. suit. I come, he said, to give the reasons why I shall vote for Butler. (Applause). Abuses have crept into the State government under the republican dynasty, This would furnish sufficient cause why Tahould cast my ballot in favor of honest government. But there is another and a greater. I believe that these twelve months coming will be the critical period in the great fight between labor and capital. My life has been devoted to the freedom and protection of the col- ored race south of the Potomac. I have also worked in the field of finance, The West reversed the order of the universe an@came East to teach us our duty. Ohio on that issue barely gave Hayes a major- ity in 1874, and the agitation since has been so intense that it made that stale. Statesman after statesman has changed ground. Even the Secretary of the Treasury, an Ohio man, has faced to the four quarters of the compass on that issue. He is the Sphinx of this country, and it is one of the problems of the nineteenth century to find out what John Sherman thinks on the finances. ENTERS THE GREENBACK CHIEF. At this point General Butler appeared on the plat- form, having arrived from Faneuil Hall, and was greeted with a perfect ovation. The chairman an- nounced that the General wished to say a few words, as he was obliged to go to Lowell on the 9:30 train. Mr. nae ie yielded, and Mr. Butler discussed the question of free suffrage for about ten minutes. He said there was danger to the liberties of the ballot box, and advised all men to stand firm for their rights. This, he said, may be the last fight we will have on that issue, for what the republican rings try to do to- day by intimidation and fraud they will next year try to accomplish is law. ‘Eternal vigilance is the price of liberty.” The General then retired, after three cheers had been given for him. REVERSING THE BLOODY SHIRT. Mr. Phillips resumed his speech. He said that Butler’s address was a very eloquent parenthesis. He said if the sun of the next century looks down on a union of forty States it will be the effect of the million blacks who are the natural allies of the Stars and Stripes. ‘The blood that sinks into the soil of South Carolina to-night, through the traitor in the White House— (applause)—will yet unite the million allies that the republicans summoned to the fight. Then reve again to the currency question he said:—I mei the other day a man who had $1,000,000 in a bank in New York. This is a contraction of the currency. I asked him why he did not buy something with it, in- vest it. He said half of hears is now bankrupt; I will wait till the whole of it is, so I can buy it at my own price. General Butler, he said, has pointed out the dangers that beset our liberties as citizens, threaten our rights un- der the system of free suffrage. Why, when William ‘M. Evarts was delegated to find out why the govern- ment of New York city had proved = tuilure, he reported that was on account of universal suffrage, and the remedy was to take away that boon. The North American Review, the organ of State street und Harvard College, has a lugubrious article, in which it deprecates the possession by the people of the right that God gave them—the right of su: fe. The Social Science Asso- ciation devotes at each annual meeting a good deal of time to bg? the advisability of abolishing uni- versal suffrage. It isa disease in the body politic, a lack of faith in God, who gave man his rights. HOT SHOT FOR HARVARD COLLGE. Harvard College ia wiser than the Deity! In 1789 amid the Nes which beset the Republic, when the country was bankrupt, the army disbanded and noth- ing to do for the soldiers; when it became a question whether the thirteen colonies should have a and nothing cise, with a serene faith in the men of day rose to the level of the grandest statesmanship and said we will found this government on righteousness. Every man shall enjoy the inalienable rights that God gave him. This was the act of Jefferson, Hancock, Sam Adams and Washington. This was universal suffrage. ‘They hadino precedent on file, but they did what they thought was wise and honest. result was, out of 3,000,000 of le we have grown to 40,000,000. But the first little fledging philosophers of Harvard College and the Social Science Association step up and say these men were wrong—only one man in ten © it to vote; no one should enjoy the privilege of taitags unless he knows who his te dfather was or owns a million dollars in United tates bonds. This will be the fight to-mor- row—whether the people shall rule or be ruled by a few men on State street. Mr. Phillij then reviewed General Butler's record as an aboli- tionist, soldicr and o lawyer, arguing that if he took large fees he rendered large service. He closed Seldlntegge 8 on Butler’s honesty and ability, and ay iticized the men who abused and vilified ‘The amusing point in the meeting was the fact that every allusion made to Butler’s abolition record was roundly applauded and by a democratic audience, ‘RHODE ISLAND. POSSIBILITY OF ONE DEMOCRATIC CONGRESSMAN BEING ELECTED. [BY TELEGRAPH TO THE HERALD.] Newrort, Nov. 4, 1878. In common with other States Rhode Island has her Congressional elections to-morrow. The campaign in the Western district has been unusually lively, and the indications to-night are that the democrats will elect their candidate by a small majority. It is possible that there may be no election, owing to the proposed plan of placing several “snap” tickets in the field. — Re- publicdhs predict their success in both districta, The work to-morrow will be peculiar to Rhode Island poli- tics, which has so di: ed the State in years t., The republican can in tho Eastern dis will be elected without much difficulty. DISORDERLY SOCIALISTS. [BY TELEGRAPH TO THE HERALD.) Patenson, N. J., Nov. 4, 1878, Last Saturday a meoting of socialists agreed not to break up the democratic meeting to-night, but to- night they appeared, about five hundred strong, in the front seats of the wigwam. Messrs, Dorsheimer, Winfield, Schaffer and Chatfleld, of New York, did not appear, though announced to speak. Augustus W. Cut- ler and County Attorney Ward spoke, and the moeting preserved good order until the Chairman, Judge per, introduced Prosecutor Woodruff, whon the social: ists arose en masse, with groans, hisses and cat calls, and moved toward the doors, joined by most of the audience, The police interfored in great num- bers and preserved order.

Sammis, the proprietor of the Surf Hotel, at Fire Island, for $20,000 damages for defamation of character, It appears that on August 20 the plaintiff, with a party of friends, was yachting and landed at the island, in the vicinity of defendant's hotel As they were walking around the premises and along the beach they were approached by plaintiff, who said that he believed they were there for no good purpose and advised them to leave. He asked one of the party if the captain of the yacht was not named Hudson, and upon being answered in the affirmative wished to be informed if he was not also known aa “Pug Nosed” or “Putty Nosed Ike.” Mr. Sammis said further that he had received a letter informing him that a band of pirates intended visiting the Island for the purpose of robbing his hotel. One of the band, the letter stated, was named Hudson, who’ was also known as “Putty Nosed Ike.” The y swered the description given in the _ letter, Mr. Sammis said, and he believed they were the band: referred to. He was asked to show the letter, but re- fused todo so. The letter was an anonymous one, and Mr. Sammis is of the opinion that he was the vic- tim of a practical joke. The case came up before Judge Gilbert, of the Kings County Supreme Court, yesterday, when ex- Judge John R. Reid, defendant's counsel, moved that the place of trial be changed from Westchester count; to Queens county. The motion was granted, wit $10 costs. or RESCUED IN TIME., a During last week and the weck before a travelling, show with “beautiful Circassians,” a ‘learned pig” and the like put up in Market street, Newark, just above the Central Methodist Church.

She became sessed with the desire to join the itinerants_and abandoning her employment in the box made terms with the showman to sell tickets. Meanwhile she was made to believe that if she continued with the company she could be changed into “a beautiful Circassian girl” and make “lots of money.” The girl's ambition was fixed in this direction, and sho was about to move off with the trav. elling show when a citizen, learni ot the facts, — notified Faaje a detective was detailed to examine the case.
