THE PIVOTAL STATE. “Statesmen” at Albany Discussing the November Campaign. DEMOCRATIC CALCULATIONS Tilden Arranging for the Con- crol of Tammany. GUBERNATORIAL CANDIDATES. Republican Chances of Again Carrying the State. ALBany, March 16, 1879, ‘The Legislature, on democratic and republican sides, is far more interested in the political situation of the present and future than in the several. impor- tant measures before it for consideration. The “Pivotal State’ excitement, so fully worked up by the Hxraxp, has attracted the atterttion of the whole country. This interest is likely to increase as the date draws near for holding State conventions of both parties. From the present outlook here it would scem as though the republicans propose to do nothing of any importance as far as legislation is concerned. They seem to bo atraid to strike out ina general way, fearing that such action might interfere with the fall canvass, They laugh at the idea that failure to pass a just apportionment bill will have any effect on elections, and point to the result of the last contest in the State in proof of this as- sertion. At that time they secured 97 out of the 128. Assemblymen. It is argued in some quarters that the overwhelming defeat of the democrats last fall came from a combination made \u New York between anti-Tammanyites and republi- cans, This combination, it is now alleged, was principally based upon a contract made in nearly every Assembly district of tho State between Tilden- {tes and republicans to secure the election of rep- resentatives of the latter faction in the interest of Mr. Conkling to incure his re-election as United States Senator. TAMMANX'S CONTEST. One of the principal topics canvassed in Albany just now relates to the coming fight for control of the Tammany Society, The determination of this contest, it is claimod (if it should be carried out to the bitterend), must have a very decided effect vn the future democratic cause. The desire to harmonize the party so that Tildenites and anti-Tildenites can lie down in the Wigwam peacefully together scems to have been Abandoned. Tho celebrated “perce” speech of Mr. John Kelly at the Lotos Club dinner secms to have had no effect in bringing about that much to be desired contentment in the ranks of the ‘ “unterrified.”” Some people looked for a gencral war dauce after the banquet between Sachems Kelly, Clinton, Kearney and Purroy and Mayor Cooper, ex-Comptroller Green, Nelson J. Water- bury, Hubert ©. Thompson, Commissioner Campbell and ex-Mayor Wickham. Samuel J. Til- den, too, it was said, was to preside over tle political feast, and give his blessing to the guests as thoy sat down to carve the “fattod calf.” The dem- ocratio army was then to march onward to victory in 1879-80 with united ranks under the banner of -Robingon and Tilden. The deméeratic leaders wero ‘to sbandon their vituperations that all further oper- ations might be conducted in o spirit of her- mony and brotherly love. These were the Prognostications of a few over-zeulous and “wise” stateamen, who im to know all that is going on behind the scenes, But tho prognosticators were apparently deceived. No truce bas been declared, no harmony of action mappod out. The Tilden and anti-Tilden elements are just es for apart in this State as when Mr. John Kelly ascended the platform at St. Louis in the summer of 1876 and announced to thé National Convention that if Samuel J. Tilden were nominated for Prosident the democratic ticket could not carry the Stato of New York. Mayor Cooper and Comptroller Kelly are apparently just as much apart to-day as when - the former donned his bat and walked out of Tam- many Hallin the political struggle of 1876, I have ‘deen told that the Lotos Club dinner was. no indica- tion whatever of political harmony; thet Mayor Cooper would not have attended nad he been fur- nished with @ list of all the guests with whom he ‘wus expected to touch glasees, and that the speoch of Mr. Kelly had no political significanee.. The demo- cratic leaders at the State capital are consequently as much at seaas ever, They acknowledge the danyer- ous outlook for their party by reavon of internal dis- sensions, but they are at @ losa how to bring about ‘that perfect union whioh can alone insure success in November next. ‘SILDEN AND THR COMING ELECTION OF. S\CHEMS, ‘The election of thirteen sachems of the Tammany Society comes off upon the thint Monday in April. It is perfectly understood among the politicians with whom I conversed during the past week that a littio fight is to ensue over the election of those officera, Two tickets will, doubtless, be put forward—one reventing the interests behind Jon Kelly and the other bearing the names of those particularly iden- titled with Mr. Tildeu; It the latier ticket wins there must follow a ization of the Lammany Hall Geyeral Committee, so that the orgauization cannot be used a6 au engine against Mr. Tilden’s friends in the next State Convention. It is stated by others that in case of. such an ending to ths ‘ight the friends of Mr. Tilden will not interfere with tho present status of aflvirs if the Tammauy leaders in the verious districts throughout the city conclude to “bury the batehet” and “smoke the pipe of peace” with the statesman of Gramercy Vark. It is well understood that whichever faction wins that side will control a majority of the each and necessarily control the machinery of the anization itself, This complexion of such a struggle was clearly demonstrated in the young de- ae boat tral bg i) bisa bed ehiefs— rien.

If they win next month it will be a remarkable one. Patronage is one-half the battle in a fight of this character. A shrowd observer of political events last night at Stanwix Hall called iy attention to the status of Tammany as regards control of patronage, in New York city at present, The gentloman alluded to the departments aud bu- reaus as follows:— Mayor's Office—Anti-Tammany. Board of Aldermen—Anti-Tammany, Department of Finance—Tanfmany. Law Dey ment—Anti-'Tammany. * Police Department—Auti-Tammany, Depurtment of PubliceWorks—Anti-Tammany. Department of Charitics and Correction—Antl- Tammany. Fire went—Tammany. Health Department—Anti-Tammany. Park Department—Anti-Tammany (or will be). Dock Department—Anti-Taminany. Department of Taxes aud Asseasments—Anti-Tam- many, Debates of Buildings—Anti-Tammany. Board of Excise—Tammany. Police Justices—Republican and anti-Tammany. District Courts—Republican aud auti-Tammany. oon. of General Sessions—Anti-Tammany. Out of all the important departments under the city government, as will be seen, only three are con- trolled by Tammany. This condition of affairs must naturally operate in weakening Tammany’s prestige when the fiual test comes. f the anges inl Leste: in th Leaders o! republican y in , in the Legislature and out of it, are now anxiously wateh- ing all the movements of democratic factions. A strong element of the republican party here is ovi- dently bent upon the nomination of Congressman Hiscock, of Syracuse, forGovernor. ‘The gentleman 1s vigorously bucked up by certain members of t! Canal Ring for whom lie acted as counsel daring the tacks. of Governor Tilden upon them, It is ued that the democratic wing ot this once power- ful political phalanx will strike hands with their for- mer republican allios in order to defeat Governor Robinson should he berenominated, Such « combina- tion might develop some strength; but it is claimed that the poworful blows struck at the Canal Ring by Tilden have nearly destroyed the influence of that poem: contingent. The following pithy paragraph ‘rom 4 recent issue of the State democratic journal in Albany will give some idea of what is thought of the movement here to Pluce Mr, Hiscock in the field: — The first move toward the nomination of Mr, Frank His- cock for Governor by the republicuns next fall wa that genticman came to tho front 8 a I repres in Congress; the second wax the elevation of Mr. fe Speakership; the third was consummated yosterday in the uppointmont by Mr. Alvord of a special committee which, under the guise of investigating rall- Fond freight charges, Is fo. junket about the State during the entire sumimer, fixing up delegations for Hiscock for Governor, Husted for Licntenant Governor and Hepburn for Secretary of State. The balance of tho tickét will not be made public until itis known whether the House will make auother enlargement of tho committes in order to disurrange the programmo. These facts make it apparent why the minority of the House is only accorded oue mem- ber on a committee of nine. In connection with Mr. Hiscock’s canvass it is further alleged that the gentleman is the candidate of the corporationists. .The same elements that placed Thomas G, Alvord in the Speaker’s chair scem bts behind Mr. Hiscock in nia gubernatorial am- ions. THF. LATEST DEMOCRATIC IDEA. ‘The iden has been suggested here, during the past |. week, in democratic ct coming from the anti- Tilden side, that the best policy to pursue, in view of present complications, is to nominate next fall a new ticket, It is contended that it would be far bet- ter to take up a new setof men who are uot identi- fied with any of the tactions at present disturbing the democratic outlook, Of course the thousands of “outs”? who have not been recognized by the present State régime on either side would bo glad of any change which might give a chance to share in tho spoils of office, It was upon this plan of a “new ticket” that the Tildenites wore defeated at the Al- bany Convention of 1877. Fairchild and Bigelow were slaughtered, Schooumaker and Beach being named for their places. The ‘new ticket’ doctrine worked well then as far as the victory of anti-Tilden- ites over (Tildenites was concerned, but hor- mony did” not follow by any means. By the printing of a mongrel ticket throughout the Stxte the Tilden element almost. stfcveded in defeating Schoonmaker and Beach, Such tactics did not look much like harmony. Similor move- ments might be resorted to next November in cxso of a second victony by the “new ticket” advocates. he name of Allen ©. Beach is suggested for Gov- ernor by the men who argue on the side of a new departure in the nomination of State candidates. ‘The idea of a ‘‘new ticket” does not mean that all presont State ofticers should be thrown overboard in the Democratic Convention, but that sach men xs Beach aud Schoonmeker should be recognized by tho democratic party as worthy of elevation to higher Offices than they at present occupy. THE CONTINENTAL LIFE. “Victims of tho late Continental Life insurance Company” haying addressed the Henatp a letter ask- ing some information respecting the doings of the receiver, a reporter called at the office of Mr. John P. O'Neill, the receiver aforesaid, and was informed that matters were progressing steadily, though, per- haps, somewhat slowly. The policy holders have all beon informed that there are certain questions of law which must be judicially determined before a dis- tribution can be made, as the status of several classes of claims has yet to bo gefincd, The recoiver was unable to ssy at what time ‘tho distribution willtake place. Tho referee is, in tho gneantime, passing on the validity of numerous claims, and tho gssets are being converted into cash as rapidly as circumstances permit. This cash can only aid to the policy holders when the refereo shall vO made his report, and the Court disposes of various questions connected with the policies. No les# than 25,000 policy holders all. over the United States being interested in the progress mvlo by the receiver a gentleman not officially connected with the ofiice, but who has closely watched the do- ings of the present management of the defunct con- corn, expressed his betiel that the avatiable assets amortmted now to wt leas: #2,000,000, Mr. Morgan 8. Duytou, the reteres above referred to, ‘was next called upon. Ife stated that the work of cxam- ining such an immense number of policies was excei ingly laborious; there were any number of Policies to which the receiver had taken exception INO thoy had “lapsed,” while, again, of those which wero approved by all purties there were gis’ a number that would give cause for litigation, It was impossi- ble for him, sitting as the Court's representative, to express an opinion in regard to the amourt of the dividend or the time when it would be doclurod. He certainly could not make up his report until after Juno 26, up to which time holders ot policies and receipts were permitted to hand in their documents. He could net render a decision in certain matters in regard to this unfortunate concern, he said, un@ all these policios had been recetved. How long the ro- ceiver would wait after the receipt of this roport be- fore declaring dividends it was impossible for him to say. COURT CALENDARS THIS Daf.

ROWING IN ENGLAND. ‘THE CHAMPIONSHIP OF ENGLAND—EGLIOT; HAN= ‘ LAN AND TRICKETT. Lonpow, Mareh 4, 1879. Elliot wishes to go to Australia to row Trickett, the champion of the world, but there seem to be doubts among some rowing men as to whether he is tho dest man that can be sent out. They want him to wait for the result of the Ross-Emmett race and for the match between Hanlan and Hawdon. This is not exactly reasonable, for Elliot is at present unchal- Jenged, and there appears to bésome doubt, probably not weil founded, about Hanlan’s challenging him tf he defeats Hawdon, while Hawdon's backer says publicly that he will not challenge £lliot in case he defeats Hanlan. About Ross and Emmett the English cham- pion does not trouble himself, but he asks why Hanlan has not challenged him or Higgins, instead of rowing with a second class man. There are those who believe he will be enlightened on the subject before Hanlan leaves England, but at the present time he is the best man, and no one has come for- ward to dispute his claim to the championship. ‘Thero seems, therefore, no reason why he should be deprived of the honor of going out to Australis—pro- vided he can get the necessary $5,000-——to try conclu- sions with Trickett, and, if possible, back to England the coveted title of “Cham; of the World.” ‘The Sportsman, of Saturday, publishes the follow- ing regarding Elliot’s position, and as the writer evidently had Hanlan in his mind, it will"be found interesting :— bi Our readers will doubtless have noticed that the propriety of sending out to Australis William Elliot, of Blyth, the present aquatic champion of England, with the view of competing with Edward Trickett for the championship of the world, is being vigor- ously discussed in the north, and that steps have been taken to raise funds to defray the champion’s expenses. Although we readily acknowledge Elliot's great merits as a sculier and admit that be has worthily establisned his claim to the title he now holds, we cannot avoid thinking that the movement now on foot is somewhat premature. We have authority for stating that he will not lon be allowed to wear his laurels un- challenged, of all rivals and he should at least dispose in England before essaying to journey to the Antipodes in the hope of achieving fresh conquests, It would be premature on our part to speak definitely on this matter; but, at any rate, we may draw uttention to the fact that there are at present in England two scullers of high Teputation from across the Atlentic. Both are en- geged In important matches, and, to put it, mildly it is not at all unlikely that one or the other will shortly ovince a desire to measure blades with the chief of English scullers. We do not wish in any way to damp the ardor of_our northern friends, but we would urge that they should at any rate turry awhile and watch the course of events, for the sit- ple reason that the very best m: no matter whence he hails—should be sent out to do battle for the highest title that the aquatic world affords, El- liot wouid scareely be justified in leaving Englond until he had completely established his supremacy, ‘and we are not going beyond the mark when we as- sert that in all probability it will very specdily be disputed, fi ® At tnis the north countrymen wero aroused, and they responded with, “Put up or shut up,” while Elliot challenges any man in England to row within three months for $1,000, Tho following from the Newcastle Journal, in reply to the Sporteman’s article regarding Elliot and Hanlan, is important:— Any one who takes the trouble to read tho remarks of tho Spoytsman will find that it admits everything in fayor of Elliot,. but in reality suggests nothing, and “north countrymen cannot —_ but consider . coming from the Sportsman, is an ungenerous and-uncalled for re- flection upon the project now being negotiated of sending Elliot out to Australia to row Trickett. What are the facty of the case? The proprietors of the Sportsman provide a bauble in the shape of achal- lenge cup, with the view of solving the question of who is the best sculler in England, Elliot has twice ‘beaten Higgins, who, before he suffered defeat, was on all hands admitted to be the best man in England, Has Elliot any rival in land? If he has, why docs he not come forward and challenge him, and question his right? Since Elliot vanquished Higgins on the Tyne, he has more than once sajd that he considered himself, as #sculler, the best man in England, and would only be too happy to accommodate any man that came forward ana said he was not. Now, tho Sporteman comes to the front and says:—We are not going beyond the mark when we assert that in all obability it (Blliot’s claim) will ‘be disputed.” (hoy further state that Elliot has not yet “com- letely established his sppremaey’ and questions bis right in leaving England urttil he does so. The wing been inspired by somo article appears to us as a weight with us hard headed people of the north it it had definitely named » man whom they thought better than Elliot. It this had been done there is not the that whether the man had been brought from London, Australia, America or anywhere else, bueinoss and not empty words would have been the result. It will be noticed that the Sportsman says there are at pres- ent in England two scullers of high reputation from across the “Atlantic,” and it is hinted that either one or the other “will shortly evince a desire to measure blades with the chiet of English scullers.” We presume that the two scullers alluded to are Han- lan, of Toronto, who is matched to scull Hawdon for £200 a side on May 5, and Wallace Ross, of New Brunswick, who is pitted against Frank Emmett, of Jarrow, in a week’s time, on the Thames. Do these men come und challenge the best scallers in Eng- land? Had either ot them issued a challenge to either Elliot, Higgins or Boyd, who are in the trout rank, they would not have been long wanting a job. What course do they prefer instewl? Why, Han- lan, who is acknowledged the best = man in America and Canada, comes here and is matched against a second class man in Hewdon;, and Ross is fledged under the wings of our Cockney friends and nursed up for a match aguinst Frank Kumett, of Jorrow, who as yet hus beaten no- body hetter than Anty Strong, of Barrow. In 1870 ana 1871, it will be remembered, that the Tyne sent representative crews out to Canada and America, Wo did not yo about pot-hunting after second class men oF matehes, but our men simply said, “* ont auxinst us the best mon you have and we will row them,” Actuated by this gallant, manly and sports- mianiike spirit they met and defeated in sculls, peirs and fours the best men these countries could pro- duce at Saratoga, at Montreal and other places, UVur American friends, who seem to have a warm friend and sympathizer in the Sportsman, tail to imitate the example set them by the Lugilsu oarsmen, amon, whom we may mention the names of Renforth, Kel- ley, Sadler, Percy, Winship, Chambers, Bagnall, Martin, and last, but not least, James Laylor. It Hantan or Roxs wish to row Filiot let them challenge hin: at once, and they will be speedily accommodated with an engagement. It would appear that the Sporteman wishes Filiot to wait until Hantan .beats Hawdon, and Rows beats Rumett. Now, it is not out of reason to suppose that both Howdon and Emmett will beat their opponents, and if this were to happen would Emmett or Hawdon row Elliot? We have tie authority of Hawdon's chiet backer for stating that if Hawdon beats Hanian he will not row Elliot; and we may presume that the Jarrow party bp equally as well ight shy, for some time to come at least, of a match aganyst thechampion. Hanlon has said thateven in the event ot his being defeated by Hawdon, he wall row Elliot, but we very much doubt this, unless our Csnadian friends Lave more money taan brains. From what we can gather of the Sportsman people, it ap- poars that they would like Elliot to wait uatil Ross and Hantan row their matches. Lo say the least of it, | this is most unreasonable, for it either of these men wish to row liiliot why do they not enter into a match atonce? It they do not wish to tackle the champion, thea why interfere with him in his Aus- tralian enterprize? From ail points of view the at tack upon Elliot’s claim to the championship is quite contrary to the title of “Sportsman,” which the aforesaid journal prints in bold letters on itw front page, und we would recommend them not to advocate the cause of strangers ond their friend: who, as yet, are short, comparatively speaking, aportsmanlike 4 and enterprise, against those of & man whose nds are willing to support him against any man in the world, and who thus set the visitors an example of true sporismantike feoling. ‘Yo show, however, that Eiliot has no desire to quit England berore be has proved himself @ conquerer, We ave requested by Mr. James Taylor to 51 on Elliot's behaif, that be will row any man in England within three months for £200 « sid sirous of coming to terms cen be night at Mr, William Blakey's, Adelaide Motel, New- % for the poy ot sendiog “Kiliot to row Trickett is to be hel challenge at least shows that ngland until he hax “established his supre- fe may further add that we have authority mos Petey to state that if Hanlan wishes month or two sooner, in order that he may have ance against Miiot, heis willing to chango the date so as ty suit Hanian’s. convenience, SPORTING E ‘3 ABROAD.

COMMUNISTIC ~ CELEBRATION, BICHTH ANNIVERSARY OF THE FRENCH REVOLU- tion or 1871—a ‘‘Tompons,” CONCERT, BAN- QUET, BALL AND SPEECHIFYING AT CLALREN- DON HALL. The eighth anniversary of the Commune, or, as the printed invitations styled it, of the revolution of March 18, 1871, was celebrated last evening at Claren- don Hall, in East Thirteenth street, by a tombola (charity lottery), concert, banquet, ball and polygiot speechifying. Shortly after eight o’clock the hall was well filled with swarthy sons of toil from the Faubourg St. Antoine and South Fifth avenue, and a respectable representation of intelligent German and American mechanics and workingmen, with a sprinkling of noted Commun- ists like Mégy, Grolard and Martelet, besides half a dozen Russian nihilists headed by Popoff. Many of these people were accompanied by their wives, mothers and sweethearts, decked out in scarlet cloaks and red ribbons, and a formidable contingent of babies, who squealed loudly before the jubilation began. The hall was strikingly decorated with blood- red flags and mottoes, as follows:— OOM LO LE BOOD IPED DOLE EDLELE AEE LODE LOE! $ Wealth is 1 in Its Origin, $ And Must Be Social in Its Destination.

There was quite a lively competition for the prizes and the “tombola” was pronounced a perfect succoss. At a quarter before nine o’clock the band struck up a lively air, and then the ‘Arbeiter Liedertafel,” a German singing society, stepped forward and sang with intenso enthusiasm “The Song of the Com- mune,” which was loudly applauded. Mr, Edmond Mégy then opened the proceedings and introduced Mr. Yonn Swinton as the first spe.ter. MB. SWINTON’S SPEE Mr, Swinton said that the republic of M. Grévy was undoubtedly an improvement on that of Gen- eral MacMahon. M. Grévy once fought on the right side of a barricade; for you may be sure sit was tho right side when MacMahon fought on the other. (Applause.) Nevertheless, M. Grevy’s governiment wave no relief whatever to the proletariat and had dishonored itself by the terms of the recent amnesty. It was @ government of meresntile feudalism and of Lourgesise self- ‘worship. Swinton vigorously denounced MacMabon ‘the orthodox butcher who, at the altar of the church of the Madelaine, slaughtered a help- less swarm of women and children. (Bravo!) Let ‘the polluted name of MacMahon be biustel.” Mr. Swinton expressed the fervent hope that Blanqui’s liberation would soon follow. ‘Let the name of Blanqui be the tocsin of the people!” ho exclaimed. He traced the progress of communistic ideas and at- tributed to it the wonderful growth of the social democratic party in Germany and the spread of revo- lutionary ideas in Spain, Italy imd other European countries, paying at the same timd a high compli- | ment to the heroism of the Russian liberators and’ nihilists,. Turning to this counfry and to New York, the speaker said:—Hark to the murmur of this cos- mopolitan city, this New York of ours, where three- fourths of the po pulation are sunk in squalor, where the impoverished districts show a death rate most appalling, where wreckers squander the wealth seized tronfthe grimy mo: where industry and business are in chronic anarchy, where Legislatures and legis- lation are bought and soid, where justice is battled by the tricks of legalized jngglery, where religion is the mask of wrong, and where every now and then there are signs of fhe approach of smo dreadful ca- tastrophe. Mr. Swinton concInded with an eloquent peroration, predicting the triumphant victogy of the | Cominune all the world over, aud was rewarded with rapturous applause by the assemblage. FRENCH SPEECHES AND MUSIC. M. Grolard then glorified the Commune in French, and the socialistic Singing Society, headed by the flaxen-haired Justus Schwab, shouted out with ear- rending discord and déafening uproar a German revolutionary song, which set the Frenchmen laugh- M. Murtelot followed with another ad- dress in French, in which he denounced the present of France, which, he declared, dare to ‘grant universal amuesiy to the communists, He advocated Gam- betta in the pluce of Grévy for President and combated the objections to Gambetta’s youthful age by a reference to Danton, Robespierre and other pre- eminent men of the first Fronch revolution. Justus Schwab next decluimed a p-ece of German poetry, the purport and refrain of Which was that “property was theft,” a sentiment which was received with lively approbation. Vocal diversions ensued in great number, and such songs as the “Liberty of the Proletariat,” “The Com- mune,” “Upon the Ramparts,” “Lhe Return of the Proscribed,’ “Farewell! of a Polish Exile,” “The Mar- sellaise” were given iu Froach and German with in- government would never | tense relish and received with unbounded deiignt. The “bal! and banquet" (fifty cents per head) con- cluded the festivities, everybody being admitted to the dancing who paid ten cents for a hat check, and to all concerned the celebration of the eighth anni. versury of the Commune passed off with éclat and great enjoyment. * CHURCH OF THE COVENANT. In the Church of the Coveuant, Park avenue and Thirty-ffth street, an interesting service was hold last evening in aid of the Waldensian Church in Italy.
