In Cambridge, Mass., 8 Republican cancus was held & fow n\'\\nhxglfi;fl, when Hu‘lnud‘u. Dana, jr., made & spooch agaiust o Presidont’s poliey, o stated that ho arrived from Europe on Friday, aud on Satorflay, lie sent to the President his resignation of the oflice of District- Attorney. Gen. Alfred Dockery has declined the nomination of Governor for North Carolina. He waa selocted without & dissenting voice to represent the Union sentimont of that State. All candidates for Congress who caunot take the proscribed oath are advised by him to withdraw. A large and enthusinstic Republican meeting was hold inSing Sing on Wednesdny lust, Specches were mnde by the Hon. Henry & Swith, aud Gaylord B. Hubbel, 8., both of whom were loudly and frequently ¢ ext woek another meeting will bo Leld, when tho Hon. Nelson H. Baker will speak. ) At a moeting of the Pepubliean Unlon Association of the XXIs¢ Assombly District, a rosolution was passed io- sisting upon the cxelasion from the Association of all those membeis of the Republican party wbo have been elected by it to office, or appointed to ofiice by the Admin- istration of the Government it has placed in power, who bave gone over to Andrew Johnson, aud his E:pparhmul associates. This evoning the Fenton and Woodford Club of the Ninoteenth Ward hold a ratification mwceting at Terrace Garden, coruer of Fifty-ninth-st. and Third-ave. The Hon. William A. Darling, Judge Hicstand of New-Or- leans, Col. A, J. H. Duganne and others will speak. Active preparations are being carried ou for the grest muss moermg 0 be held in Un’l’(lndqnin on the 15th inst. On Monday next the Committeo mcet to wake final WTAngencnts. 197 On the inside pages of to-day's issue will be found an interesting account of a Base Ball match; Law Re- ports; Police Intelligence; a review of Mr. Baneroft's new volume; Commercial matters, and Market Reports. 1t is reported that Mr. Alfred Dockery, nominated for Governor of North Carolina, by the Unionists, has declined. Gen. Barlow, our Sccretary of State, gives notice from Albany that by the act of 1866 the third meeting for registry of voters(Monday Uefore election) is abol- 1shed. Thero are now but two meetings—the Tuesday, three weeks before election, and the Friday just pre- ceding the election. This advice is highly important to voters, and journals throughout the city and State should give it cireulation. ‘We are informed that the Hon., Coles Bashford, Congressional Delegate elect from Arizona, is 8 na- tive of Wayne County, N. Y., was in good old days a Whig, bas been a Ropublican since the organ- ization of that party in 1856, and was omce elected Governor of Wisconsin on the Republican ticket. While east of the great plains, he adhered with unswerving fidelity to the party, and bis friends in fhis State still ¢laim him as true to his principles, and hence opposed to ** my polioy.” Tt is expected in 'Engllna that both Mr. Glass and Mr. Canning will be knighted for the part they bave taken in carrying out the Atlaiitic Telograph Cable enterprise; and it is suggested by the English press that Capt, Anderson, of the Great Eastern, onght also to receive some honorary mark of distinction for the services rendoicd by bim iu the geod work, This is as itshould be; for certainly the men who tiave been instrumental in completing ove of the greatest under- takings of the age .are worthy of all honor, and de- serve more substantial rewards tban any mere title implies. But what of Mr. Cyrus W. Field, to whom the enterprise is more largely indebted for its success than to any other individual? If the sovereign of Great Britain is about to confer distinction upon the Englishmen who took a leading part in that enterprise, ‘what ought the people of the United States to doin the case of Mr. Field17 Surely, there ought to be some public—some national—recognition of the in- valuable services rendered by this gentlemen to an enterprise so preguant with benefits to the country, and yhat promises to be so useful an agent in further- ing the cause of civilization. We hoxor and retvard the soldier whose yictories subserve our national in- terests, illpstrate our greatness, and adorn our an- nals. Let us not be unmindful of the claime of men whose genjus renders spleudid service to civilization on those bloodless ficlds where every victory achieved is & positive gain to humanity. —_— THE MORAL OF MURDER. The World—carefully concealing from its readers tho Report of Giens. Mower, Quincy and Gregg, of the result of their Military Investigation of the New- Orleans Massacre—says: e invaluabla New-Orleann viot is every week or two disbed up by thew in some new form to enable them to keep it constantly before the pubilie. Ever and anon, it has to be * in vestigated anow, with & view, as they say, to fix the respo bility ; and they huve now hrought an;n report, by & pretended ‘milifary board, which, according to Tnx TRISUNE, Jastens the hole bama of the Yot upon Matgor Monroe, .

The special telogram from New-Orleans which wo print to-day gives usa remarkable sequel to the offi- cisl revelations contained in the report of Gen. Sheri® dan's Military Commission. A year ago, Gen. Sheri” dan obtained knowledge of the existence of sooret socicties in his Department, and disbanded several as- sociations of Confederate soldiers. More recent .developments bave added to the stock of information in possession of the military, and we again bear of an ‘extensive sectet gociety, not in Louisiana alone, but in other parts of the South, and even in New-York. What is the cause of Gen, Sheridan's concentration of troops we sball not strive to conjecture; but the late massacre in Now-Orleans, and the turbulent and im- placable spirit of whioh the events in Toxas aro in- dications, may bo good reasons for the strongest and safest measures which Gen. Sheridan can fairly take. Col. Mason, the commander of the soldiers charged with the burning of Benham, declares bis belief that the citizens were the aggressors, and that the town was fired by them. Gen. Bheridan has instructed Brevet-Major Smith not to permit himself to be arrested by any civil authority, and a dispatoh to the Associated Press (probably from an ex-Rebel correspondent) states that this officer has proclaimed martisl law and ordered tho disarming of the citizens— a story whose perfect truth we have somo reason to doubt. In a lotter to Gov. Throckmorton, Gen. Sheridan explains his great anxiety to have peace, but doubts **if much justice can be done in 8 com- munity that compels our own mon to remain inside the dcfenses throwon around their camps.” We have this from Gen. Bleridan, who is too good an officer to deal in exaggerations, The crimes of the Rebellion, whose infamy Memphis and Now-Orleans bave not sufferad to sleep, will not permit us to doubt the latest news from the Guif. MR. HOFFMAN'S PLATFORM DURING THE WAR. Mayor Hoffman has said repeatedly, since his nomination for Governor, that no public or private act of his could be held up to censure. He made this assertion in his late spcech at Sing Sing, and un- wisely, for it must ‘have recalled his address at that place a fow days before the last Presidential election. Leading citizens, whose honor and memory are equally above question, quote Mr. Hoffman as having said that **Democtats only had gone to the war,” and that “volunteering stopped when Lincoln declared for an Abolition policy.” He believed that the “Southern people were entitled to sympathy,” and chargod that “‘the war was carried oh for tho subjugation of 5,000,000 of people.” This is bad enough. But Mr. Hoffman went farther. He aflirmed that * Lincoln was as great a traitor to the Constitution as Jefferson Dayis"—8 charge loudly applauded by the Copperheads to whoso passions it appealed. Then came the following decla- ration, which we are assured is literally reported, word for word, as Mayor Hoffman uttered it: *“If Tennesseo is not allowed to vote i the Eleotoral College, and Lincoln should be elected, 1 would advise revolution and resistance to the Government, and you may know which side to find me on.” These are grave charges to bring against 8 man who would become the Governor of this State, but they are not lightly made. HOIW ARMORIES ARE FURNISHED BY THE SUPERVISORS. The Board of Bupervisors, at its last meeting, ap- propriated an additional 35,600 for Armories and Drill-Rooms. Jobbery under this bead is of recent origin—the power having been conferred upon the Bupervisors about three years ago; but it has grown with surprising luxuriance, and bas been accompanied by circumstances of such reckless profligacy that wo deem it proper to invite to it the particular attention of the publie. The financial operations of certain members of the Board conuected with the procurement of premises for the various Armories we design to veatilate here- after, limiting the present article to showing the man- ner fn which the fax-levy has becn swelled by this new swindle. 2w Prior to 1863, the duty of supplying the militia regi- ments of this City with rooms devolved upon the Common Council, who discharged it to the satisfac- tion of the regiments aud, undoubtedly, with gome small profit to themselves. The picki however, must bave been moderate. The Armories were located over the markets and other public buildings, and the whole expenditure did not exceed §5,000 for any one year. The Board of Sapervisors, however, induced the Legislature to transter the business to them; and, during the past three years, its duties have been com- mitted to a special committee of that body, consist ing of*the same individuals, with oue exception, who compose the notorious Conrt-Hbuse Committee. Since then this placer bas been worked in 8 man- ner calculated to astonish an old-fashioned pecu- lator. The Coutroller, in his budget for 1864, estimated that $20,000 would be necessary for Armories end Drill-Rooms during that year, and inserted that amount in the tax-levy. While the document was lying on the table in the Board of Supervisors, some liberal-minded patriot secretly altered a figure, and thereby converted $20,000iinto $40,000; but the frand being detected by ‘Supervisor Purdy, the original amountéwas restored. At a sub- sequent meeting, however, o majority of the Board passed a resolution raising the amount to $50,000, and afterward added to it another $100,000; go that the amount authorized to be spent for Armories during that year was $150,000! The Supervisors proved fully equal to this increascd respousibility,and soon managed to expend the amount; also $125,000 which was after- ward obtained. Funds being laviehly provided, pro- fitable jobs were abundant. Bills for iron-work on an Armory, smounting to about $40,000, being pre- sented to Mayor Gunther, e referred them for ex- amination to two,of the most respectable iron-dealers in the City who certified that the work was not worth over $16,000; but the bills were finally paid in full, as all bills'are which are duly certified by the “Ring.” ¥or the_present year, the Controller estimated that $£0,000 would be sufficient; but the Board exLausted that amount during the first six months, and have since added to it another $80,000; so that the expen- ditures on Armories during the last nine months bave been at the rate of more than $200,000 per apnum ! Let it be remembered that this expenditure is for o branch of the publie service which, three years ago, cost the City less than one-twentieth of the sum., The money is distributed among the retainers of the Board, without warrant of law, in payment for jobs at rates varying from one to two hundred per cent above honest prices. As a specimen, we quote the following item from the Controller's report: “Paid for fitting up 224 Regiment Armory......... $£0,206 66 " Dfring the present year, s combination of certain al-ostate owners with members of -the Board of Bupervisors has foisted®ipon the City leases (baving five and ten years to run) for various premises to be by the militia. The Controller reported in May last that leases had been exeouted by the clerk of the Board, the rents of which amounted to $53,400 _per anpum. Since then additional leases have been executed to the extent of about $30,000; thus perma- vently saddling the City with over $80,000 per annum for rents. In making the preliminary arrange- monts for these loases, the jobbers in the Board forgot their usual csution, and it is rumored abput the City Hall that they have committed themselves in o very Wy P g puiblic rohbery whose mwagnitude and wickedness is fast rivalivg the Court-House and Harlem Bridge swindles. — CONNECTICUT. Wa have returns from 109 towns in Conneoticut, of which 67 have gone Republican, 36 Demoorat, and 6 are sot down as divided. To prove our general osti- mate, we give an alphabetical list, complete to date, italicizing the towns which, on comparison with the figures of the election for Governof last March, can bo justly claimed as gain to cither sido. The Connecti- cut papers reckon gains in Republican majorities for 20 towns, and but threo or four are claimed by the Democrats: RENUBLICAN. Andover, Gris: Portlaad, Avon, Groton, Preston, Bozrah, Ledyard, Putaam, 1y Killingly, Pomfret, Chaplin, Lyme, Tlainfield, Cheater, oriden, Redding, Cornwall, Middle, Baybrnog, Columbia, Moutville, Seymowr!

DIVIDED. Olastenbury, Windsor Locks, South Windsor, Fairfiold, Ol Lyme, Ounton. In Canton and Glastenbury gains are claimed by the Democrats, and in Windsor Locks and Bouth ‘Windsor by the Republicans. Wo count thus far a ma- jority of 31 towns for the Republicans, the Democrats claiming at the utmost but one or two more towns than their opponents will allow them. That the cause of Congress against the President has gained largely and most significantly in Connecticut dees not adwit of dispute. We are glad that the Radicals of Kansas have wisely renominated such honest public servants as Gov. Crawford, and their present representative in Congress, the Hon. Sidney Clark. As Goy. Crawford had a majority of 3,753, out of 19,733 votes, upon the popular ballot for 1364, his chances for reledetion are the best, Mr. Clarke was chosen in 1864 over Albert L. Loe, the * anti-Lane” candidate, by 1,504 votes, and we assumo that ho will be redlected over his Conservative gpponent, Gen. L. W. Blair. The following are the rival State tickets: Radical.

Excepting Goss and Cobb, all the candidates on the ('anprI!iDW\ltgiflwbfl_ recreant Republicang, Gov. Crawford, who heads the Radical ticket, énlored the war 85 a ¢aptain under Lyon, and after brave and daring service was promoted to the command of the 24 colored regiment of Kansas. Goorge H. Hoyt, nominated for Attornoy-General, was yolanteer counsel for the martyr John Brown. On the sucecss of the Radieals, of whose defeat we have no fear, de- pends the character of the United States Senators who are to succeed Mujor E. G. Ross (now filling the unexpired term of the late Gen. Lane) and Mr. 8. C. Poweroy. Both branches of the Legislature are Radical. MV POLICY.” The Elmira Adrertiser, by the pen of the Rev. Trnouas K. Brecmer (brother to Ward), thus sums up the issuo between the President and Cougross: For the Presidont to originate a policy and use every In. fluence st bis command to carry It through, eontrary to the , is unconstitutional, bowever customary; aud oo dapgerots iu its tgudeugyr~ - f government are under three heads— txecutive avd Jodlo e dutios and powers early defined by the Constitution.

A Congressional error Is bat s blunder. A law-making President s » revolation. ‘When in 1#61 the nation was cannonaded at Charleston, and her very Capital threatened by gathering Rebele, the modest President ealled for 75,000 troops. .t serve three months and Keep the peace against insurrection. ~And in the sawme prools- mation Leealled also for Cougress, Come, come as Guick as you oav, and give me the laws by which to ralse sn_argly and sive the pation.

IRON-CLAD FORBS AND EARTHWORKS. The experiments whioh Gen. Barnard has conduot- ©od at Fortress Monroe are additional evidence of the greater defensive value of earthworks as compared with stone fortifications. A stone targot, eight feet thick, iron-clad, and in some places supported by a heavy granito abutment, was completely ruined by oloven shots from large Rodman guns of fifteen-inoch smooth-bore and twelve-inch rifled. Blocks of grauite, weighing hundreds of pounds, were thrown filty yards from their placds, and had the target been casemate of s fort, its defenders would have found the flying fragments of stone aud iron more dangerous than cannon balls. The effect of the projectiles is described as astounding. The experiment was intonded to test the power of resistanco in an iron-clad wall. The result shows that the strength of an iron-clad vessel is no standard for the strength of an iron-clad fort, Had one of our moniters steamed up and down before these Rodman guns, and been subjeoted to the same fire, within the sameo range, though she might have been damaged, the injury would have been far less than that inflioted on tho mrget. An iron-clad vessel has the advantage of motion; it is in & yielding elemont, and something of the shock of a projeectile must be communicated to the water. In the case of the target it was transmitted to the abutment, which was moved from its place. Wo believe that & monitor of half the resisting power of an iron- olad fort has, by reason of its motion and position, double the actual strength, But however this may be, the experiment has shown that stone-work receives no protection from iron sheathing, and that it would be useloss for the Government to attempt to strengthen by such moans the old stone and brick fortresses cofi- structed along our coast before the war. Fort Hamil- ton and Fort Wadsworth, on either side of the Nar- rows, might, in case of attack by an iron-clad fleet, repeat the lessons of Vicksburg and Samter. The earthworks of the one would be tenable long after the frowning buttresses of its companion were dostsoyed. Their comparative strength no experis ment was needed to ascertain, but the Board of En- gioer Officers have demonstrated that we cannot patch up our stone fortifications by iron plating. The emphatic teaching of the war is—Iron for the ocean, aud Earthworks for the land. The Congressional elections present an issue between the People and Andrew Johnson, not hetween Con- gress and the President. And the issue which the Pooplo have with their traitorous, usurping servant in the White House is the simplest ever presented in national canvass, It is: *Shall the country be governed by those who fought to destroy it, or by those who fought to save it? Shall it be governed by its friends or its cnemies 7" That 's all there is of it. Andrew Johnson's purpose is to put the law-making and executive powers of the Government into the hands of unchastened, unrepentant, malignant Rebels. The Peop'e, through their loyal Congress, oppose this crime; and on this issue, presented singly, they cail elect their candidates in every Congressional District from tho Atlantic to the Pacific, beyond the shadow of & doubt; yes, and carry every office, from Gov- ernot t0 Patbmaster, in every Northern and .Wemm State. P Threo thousands millions of debt, balf a miltion of soldiers’ graves, two and a half millions of the people clothed in garments of mourning, surely are solemn monuments of the earnest purpose of a nation to save its lifo. A *policy” that will waste this sacrifice—s political * policy " that will voluntarily surrender the fruits of such a costly war and give to the Rebels the advantages and powee they failed to conquer by arms— such a policy, argued to tax-payers, cannot but be sccepted as treason—urged upon the relatives of the slain, mas be felt to be blasphemy—pronounced in the hearing of the world; surely will be considered the phenomenon of iusanity or idiocy. * ~ Titr.

A Federal office-holder who obtains or retains his place by apos- tasy, hypoerisy and baseness, is contemptible—who doubts it 1—but & majority of those left in office by Mr. Lincoln have honored manhood by their fidelity to their principles and their convictions. The Bread- and-Butter renegades are o very decided as well as detested minority. Without cause, against right, deliberately and wick- edly, the Rebel Representatives and Senators walked out of Congress into the battle-field, aud fought till they were exhausted to destroy the Government and conquer the Free States. They went out when they pleased. Is it not right. that they should ceme back when we please?
