The hero of the day was the Rev, Father Kinsella, who has built four churches during the last ten years, The trains were crowded, so that on the White Piains train dozens of enthusiastic ‘traveliers had perchec themselves on the roof, where they stood jumping and dancing and shout- Ang. Owing to the suddenness with which the train stopped at Williamebridge, several men stumbled, «1 had & wondrous escape from falling between the cars, They poured forth in an endless stream, €nd with one accord rushed into a grocery a few yards from the tracks, where provisions of all kinds, trom herrings to hatne, and whiskey were sold. The immense crowd, now augmented by the arrival of the New York special train, imbibed freely, and the ‘ FUN GREW FAST AND FURIOUS, ‘The first society to arrive on the ground was the Augustine, of Morrisania, This society was fol towed by two hundred Westchester villace Protee- tory boys, who saw at a giance that a high old time was in store for them, and it needed much moral Suasion, and some of Solomon's highly recommen- ded rod treatment to keep the truculent youngsters ta order. A steady line of arrivals of the disciples of Father Matthew came next from Tuckahoe, Mount Vernon, Mott Haven, Morrisania and Ford- bom. ‘The Protectory Boys’ band, preceded by the “ big Fadge," rattled away the popular street melodies, andall was mirth and langhter. In the midst of this ecene of rustic delight, a riont ‘Was started between two trrascible young bloods, ‘tnd 6 ring was hastily formed on the banks of the swollen Bronx, where three rounds were fought, @nd the victor was escorted in triumph back to the Station. The multitude then wended its way to the ‘site of the Church of St, William. on a neighboring lovation, to attend the corner-sione ceremontals, At the western exrtemity of the edifice a scaffold- ing bad been ereeted, vround which upward of 5,000 Persons were grouped. The ceremony was im- posing and was performed by the Very Rev. Father Btarre, V.G., assisted by the Rev. W. Clowry, of he Rev, J. L. Conron, of Staton Isiand; the Rev. Father McQuade, St. John's College, Fordham; the Rev, Mr, Cole, of St. Ray- mond's, village of Westehesier; the Rev. Thomas McLoughiin, of New Rochelle; the Rey, John Me- Bvoy,of White Plaius; and the Kev, John Hughes, of Mott Haven. After scattering holy water on the site of the altar, end marching three times around tue foundation walls, the Vicar-General placed the corner-ston Grst depositing under it a metal box containing the ‘sual memorials and public documents, together with @ dedication op chment written in Latin to St. William.

The consequence w: that the majority of the Fordbamites departed at once. Mr. Bride, who bad arrived with society flags in his arms, got to the station at a quarter to & ‘nd asked the guard to have some refrestiments with him, but he refused, and suid he wanted to get olf at “nce, as mischief was brewing.

Atoanr, Feb, 20.—With the adjournment of the Legislature on Friday afternoon terminated the first half of the ninety-fourth session, When the Legislature convened the Ring promised at once to redeem the pledges which they had made to the people. The Commissions were to be abolished ; they were to give you s new and liberal charter; the Excise and Conspiracy laws were to be repealed; taxation was to be reduced, and, in one word, Squire Sweeny, who at that time thought he owned the Legislature, gave the people the assurance that he and those be owned had really made up thetr minds tobe honest. ‘The Squire conld easily have kept his word had he #o desired. Every facility for so doing was within his control. ‘The Assembly was organized with a Speaker of his choice, and one who wae (and 1s) faithful to him, ‘That Speaker ar- ranged the Committees to sult the Squire's whims, ‘The Senate was not hostile to the great Sweeny, and Gov. Hoffman was carried body aud soul in SWEENY’S WAISTCOAT POCKET, It is unnecessary to repeat that Sweeny has broken his promise tn every instance. This does not aston- ish those who know the man, and who have been taught by experience that Squire Sweeny has never yet kept his pledges when it was his interest to break them. Buch # man was not fit to lead such sterling Democrats as Blood, Norton, Genet,Creamer, Miteh- ell, Kiernan, Jacobs, and others, and the latter there- fore sent the oMficious self-styled leader about his business. The rest ts well known. Sweeny fled from Albany tn disgrace. The young and honest Senators, Assemblymen, and other representative Democrats have determined to do tnetr duty and successfully accomplish what Sweeny failed to per- form. Whatever may be said of these men, they are at least ABLE TO CARRY THEIR OWN ELECTION DISTRICTS, Which ts more than Sweeny can boast. They pro- pose to introduce s charter next week, at the very latest, that will give the people, and not the Ring, absolute control of the City Government, They promise to rid the city of the army of thieves, re- peaters, and catthroate who bave been in the past the main rt of the corrapt Ring. They \orplace in oBfee men of honesty, ability, standing. and pied men as Abraham reel worth, Sach unpriney O'Hall and others of his type, who are always to be found on the side of the victorious party, are to be THROWN OVERBOARD. The millions of dollars per annum whieh the Tillanous Hing hee expended in parcbesing the support of the press are to be saved. Ring ter- ers and Ring contractors are to be exterminated. In one word, the people are no longer to be robbed. A majority of the Senate ana Assembly is in favor Of the eoalition against these scoundrels. The As- sembly repudiated them by its vote on the Special Sessions bill, which stood 96 to 8. The Senate ma- Jority for the Norton and Genet coalition is over- whelming.

While Senator Blood, who ts a member of ¢ State Central Committee, was attending a meting that body, Mr Sweeny tendered him pecuri sistance, "Mr, Blood replied, * Tam much o ° you, Mr. Sweeny, for your offer, but ! will noi accept & cent from any outside organization or an indy vidual.

Blood heard nothing further of Sweeny's generosity until three or four days before the alee: tion, When the district had been thoroughly can- Vassed, and Sweeny knew full well that the district wae going Democratic, Mr. Blood received a tele- gram from Mr. Sweeny, asking bim where he could be found by # messenger on the day following.
