Cnicaco May 20.—A telégram signed by the President of the First and Com- mercial National banks, John V. Far- well, Philip D. Armour, Henry Keep, O. W. Potter and other representatives of large commercial and financial interests, was sent to-night to the busniess men’s meeting in New York in behalf of Presi- dent Arthur's renomination. The dis- patch expresses appreciation of the im- portance of the call for that meeting; en- dorses the spirit and sentiments of the call, and believes President Arthur should be nominated, both in justice to the well- fare of the entire country, and to one ‘who has made 80 good a president. THE GREAT NEW YORK MEETING. New York, May 20—The great mass meeting of citizens and business men called to express the approval of the ad- ministration of President Arthur, and urge his renomination for a second term was held to-night at Cooper Union. A more orderly and intelligent assemblage than that which crowded the great hall was never before seen in this city. At half-past seven EVERY SEAT IN THE BUILDING was occupied; half an hour later, when Cornelius N. Bliss, of Bliss, Fabian & Co., called the meeting to order not an- other person could find standing room. Throngs continusd to pour into the door- ways until at ten minutes past 8, the commandant of policegave orders to close the daors, AMONG THE AUDIENCE were a large number of ladies. Seats were provided on the platform for about 60 people. Among the prominent per- sons who occupied them, were Cornelius N. Bliss, Frederick S. Winslow, Henry ‘Ward Beecher, Benjaman H. Bristow, Edward s Pierrepont, Assistant U. S. Treasurer T. C. Acton, Surrogate D. G. Rollins and Dr. C. R. Agnew. A band at the right of the platform discoursed popular airs. When Mr. Beecher appeared, the audience gave three cheers, and the applause continued some time after he took his seat. The Siamese miniater came in_just before the meeting began and with the members of his suite, were given seats on the platform. CORNELIUS N, BLISS called the meeting to order, and briefly stated the objects for which it was called. He said it was an unusual thing for a business man to have a voice in hoosins candidates for the presidency, as this was a work for those supposed to be better versed in public affairs. Political papers had endeavored to deprecate tho efforts of business men in the present instar ce, and insinuated that at the. present time especially it would be better for business men to attend to their own business, and look after stocks, bonde, and merchandise instead of meddling with politics, They would take the hiberty, in spite of these unfair comments, to express their views, and urge the renomination of a man who, although he came inte the office under such trying circnmstances, had PROVED HIMSELF S0 WORTHY of tho great charge intrusted to him by the people, and whcso administration had met with such success. [Applause ] President Arthur was certain to receive the vote of New York state, which could not be said of any other candidate. I¢ was only right that his fellow citizens sho: 1d meet and express their approval of his course and urge his renomination as the one man who possessed the confi- dence of tho groat business community of the new world. Bliss concluded by introducing FREDK. 8. WINSLOW, president of the Mutual Life Insurance company, as chairman of the meeting. Winslow was received with applause He characteri Arthur as a man of the highest integrity, in every way worthy of support. Men of all classes were center- ing upon President Arthur, He denied this was a class meeting, and asserted that it was a mass meeting of all citizens. Evory one folt the importance of hay- ing a good candidate inthe present crisis, and he felt certain their ¢fforts would he crowned with success in November next. A long line of vice presidents, includ- ing the names of the most prominent business men, and resolutions in the heartiest spirit of the meeting were adopted, X Park Goodwin, editor of the Commer- cial Advertiser, made a short address and then REV. HENRY W was presented and enthusiastically welcomed. Ho said : ‘A most excellent evening paper in Brooklyn, whose edito 1 esteem very highly because he esteems me very higlly [laughter] not long ago in a playful assault said Mr. Beecher used to be very much opposed to Presiden’ Arthur but he had come around and b come a great friend of his and that was like Beecher (laughter).

(Long continued applause.) I am here not as a clergyman but as a business man. 1 have a right to speak what I think on all ques- tions respecting the public weal and to give forth such views as I think will conduce tc the welfare of our Nation; if what I say conduces to the party’s good so much the better for the party, if it does not all the worse for the party.

That he has been subject to so little criti- cism is a marvel; the bitterness of men whose names should be *‘inveigh” (instead of MVaceagh) displayed towards Arthur 18 nothing compared the invectives heap- ed on Washington, Jackson, Lincoln and Grant up to Hayes, and when Hayes took ihe presidency the ceuntry had been scorched with the fires of war. The na- tion NEEDED A POULTICE and it got it, [Loud laughter] Arthur had been an ardent New York politi- cian, loyal to his party and his friends carrying himself beyond the lines of pru- dence. But 1 honor a man whoso impru- dence springs from integrity and loyalty to his heart. [Applause], And when it was necessary he should sacrifice a bo- som friend rather than involve the coun- try inold troubles andbitterness again, he gavo up his friend. As to the civil ser- vice, I think investigation will show that Arthur was the first to institute CIVIL SERVICE REFORMS. He began 1t when in the custom house, and atill continues. I leave you with this. 1 know not how you can do better; T know that the country don’t need to have any better president than Chester A. Arthur. [Long continued applause.] HON. BENJ, H. BRISTOW, ex-secretary of the treasury, was then introduced and most cordially received. He began by sketching briefly the distress feelings would be the first to condemn. 1f Prosedent Arthur hus always beon tho unworthy person my friend describes 1 leave him to justify a cause his own act in supporting him for the vice-presidency and taking the office of first legal adviser to an administration in which Gen.

FORTY-EIGHTY (N‘N(il SENAT Wasiizotox, May 20.—Mr. Slater offered a resolution requesting the pres- ident to inform the senate by what au- thority commissioners were appointed from time to time to examine and ro port on sections of the Northern Pacit railroad, constructed and completed sub- sequent to the time within which the road was required to bo completed. A bill passed extonding to August, 1880, the time to commence laying the ::l;ly authorized by the act of August 18, The agricultural appropriation bill was proceeded with by sections. One of the amendments added to the bill by the senate committeo appropri- ates $2,000 for continuing the location and sinking agtesian wells on_the plains with a view to reclaimiug arid and waste public lancs, To this provision Mr. Beck objected. Mr. Hale moved the appropriation be limited to two wells, Agreed to and passed without division. On motion of Mr. Manderson the sen- ate passed the house bill authorizing the construction of a bridge across the Mussouri in Douglass county, Nebraska, Adjourned. HOUSE, The Indiana contested election case of English vs. Peclo was taken up, The majority resolution declares Eng- glish duly elected. Mr. Lowrey advocated the claims of the contestant. He allnded to certain language used by J. S, Wise, (Va) when the O't'arell-Paut case was under consid- eration, to the effect that a Virginia bourbon was riding into congress on the back of one of Barnum's Indiana mules In view of the spectacle which the gen- tleman from Virginia presented on this floor, he apprehended that if Barnum had been telegraphing to Virginia for an animal of a lower order, he would tele- graph for one still more brutal in its in- stincts than a mule, Mr. Wise, who had been in the cierk- rooms, came in and asked that the words be taken down. The Speaker said the proper time for that request had passed. Mr. Wise reserved the privilege of a personal explanation hereafter. Mr. Lowry then referred to Thomas A. Henricks. Perhaps some of his re- publican friends had heard of that gen- tleman as a successful candidate for the vice-presidency in_1876. Mr. Reed disclaimed any knowledge of the gentleman in that connection. Mr. Lowrey intimidated that Hen- dricks would be heard of as elected to the same office in 1884 in connection with Samuel J. Tilden, and Mr. Hiscock suggested that the discussion be carried on iu ciphers [Ejaculations of **Tatooed!” from the democratic side]. and discontent which prevailed in the republican ranks at the accession of Pres- ident Arthur—a discontent which, he said, culminated in this state in the over- whelmning defeat of the republican can- didate for governor, against whom per- sonally nothing could be urged. Even the most sanguine republicans would then hardly have dared to assert that a repub- Jican president could be elected in 1884, He referred to THE WONDERFUL CHANGE IN NEW YORK last, year, the election of a ropublican legislature and the remarkablo accession to the ranks of the republican political candidates. This change the speaker autributed in great part to the modera tion, wisdom and quiet dignity of Ar- thur's administration. By refusing to use the power of his great office in the interests of factions, he has promoted HARMONY IN THE PARTY RANKS, The civil service commissioners select- ed by him pursuant to the statutes were and are well known for their zeal and in- telligence in the cause of civil service form and they have united in testifying to the correctness and perfect good faith of the president in carrying out the law in letter and spirit. The ex-secrotary declared the business men of this city and country care little for political acts but they had an opinion aud dared ex- press it, that the general course of the president’s administration was good and would on the whole be for the best inter- ests of the country. The orator closed with the following reference to the LETTER OF MACVEAGH. “If the condition of our postal service is such that it becomes necessary to trausmit letters of friendly advice and admonition through the public press, there is a grievous cause of complaint. | commend thls matter to the attention of our efficient postmaster general, who will, I hope, be able to correct the abuse without the employment of a large num- ber of lawyers, eminent and otherwise, av great expense and small results, My distinguished friend does not quite un- derstand that this meeting was called by FREE AND ENLIGHTENED VOTERS ve a habit of thiuking for them- 3 on all mutters of public concern, and who have no other end in view than the public good, I must decline his in- vitation to go into the slum of personal defamations He wants me to consider various remiuvisences with which Lhave no connect'on and as to which I have not the enjoyment of equal means of know- ledgze with himself, Events of President Hayes' administration fortunately are no longer living topics, and we are not here to litt the vail of oblivion, The ALLIANCE WITH MAHONE in Virginia is a matter which came down to the present administration from the It had its origin in the senate, and is understond to have had the ap preval of the preceding administration, of which my valued friend was an honored and conspicuous momber. | regret and shall pass over without comment THOSE SLURS AND INSINUATIONS 80 unwarthy of their author which Mac Vea h permi's himself to make to the circumstances vnder which G Arthur had imposed upon him the con stitutional duty of taking the office of president.

Des Moines, lowa, May 20.—The first salesday of the Iowa Butter and Cheese Exchange, recently organized, was largely attonded to-day, both by manu- facturers and dealers. There was a largo display of samples of creamery but- ter of uniform and marked excellence and prices obtalned were good, being equal, freights considered, to the Elgin market of Monday. Over ten tons of butter were sold, best bringing 19} cents; fair to choice, 17 to 18} cents In addition to the sale of creamery, 3,000 pounds of low grade butter sold at Geents, After samples of eheese were ehown, but Towa makes no special claims as to a cheese state, and it is almost ex- clusively a butter producing state on the gathured cream system, ‘The exchange starts off under the most flattering circumstances, and from the interest manifested we predict a steady growth for the organization, and a gene- ral advance of the dairy interest of the state, A large number of new members were taken in also, and arrangements made for an increase in the facilities at future sales Each Tuesday will be a sale day. Buyers were present from New York, Ohicago. Elgin, San Francisco, Boston, and other cities. Louisvilin Races.

New York, May 20.—Groat excito- ment was occasioned this afternoon on the report that Russell Sage had Iaid down on his “puts.” It proved abso lutely untrue. Sage says he will meot all his privileges and is now locked in his of- fice signing checks as fast as ho can. A combination appears to have been made, and at the closing hour of stocks “'puts” were presented on Missouri Pa- cific. Lackawanna, Western Union and Lako Shore. Sage's office is guarded by police. A correspondent was admittod and was told by the clerks that Sage will meet all demands as fast as he can balance his accounts. Wolrishoffer is a big *‘bear” leader. One of his clerks no tified Sage that he would ‘‘put” two thousand shares of Lake Shore tu-morrow and soon after the report was started in the exchange and cn the strect that Wol- rishoffer wanted to put 8,000 shares and could only put 2,000. Sago says emphat- ically that he will pay everybody as fast as the claime against Mimcanbe adjusted. A big crowd gathered in the hall about Sage's door, but anybody who was au- thorized todo so gained ready admission. Tho Sage flurry was sprung on the mar- kot just at a critical time_for good effect. 1t was said Sage could afford to lay down if he wanted to, as his seat in the stock exchange is worth only $20,000 now, but the fact is he could mot get back if he went out so. K. K. Willard says that the fact is the market of the future de- pends upon the banks, and that the time has come when the banks must call in their loans. The feeling was not espec- inily uneasy at the close of trading. NO. 290 AALDERMANIC AUDACITY.
