There were sixty-eight members in the club, Other witnesses gave evidence to the same general effect, showing that money was freely offered for votes in Scranton by persons working for SHOEMAKER'S election, There are several curious points in the evidence brought out at this examin: oO is that those engaged in these fr must have had reason to think they would be protected from punishment in case of detection, or else they would never have dared to run the risk of having an even vote returned in a district where out of yout two hundred and fifty voters only six or seven are Republicans.

At the ime time a comparison of the returns for the various candidates shows pretty clearly that the by Apollo Hall, and which may be regarded as ly Demo- Vote thrown whe cratic, Was about 30,000, In the light of all these figures, what, from present appearances, would seem to be the chances of the three candidates run- ning for Mayor? On a superticial view it would look as if it were impossible for Mr, Lawrence not to obtain from the Demo- crats as many votes at least as they gave to Judge SHANDLEY and his associates on the Tammany ticket in November lust.

The Demooratio opponents of Mr. Lawrence insist in the second place that Mr. O'Brixn will draw pretty largely upon this Tammany vote of last fall; and we believe Mr, O'Brien him- self thinks #0. Beyond these stand another class of Democrats who say that a cloud covers the Presidential prospects of the party, which tends to dampen the ardor of the rank and file in this city, and that this will injure Mr. Lawrence, But, it must be borne in mind that Mr, Lawrence will receive the support of the Liberal Republicans, whom some estimate fs high a8 40,000, while none put thelr num- bers lower than 5,000; and these allies it is ‘laimed will make up for all the votes Mr. Twerep may draw from him, but neverthe- less will leave Mr. Lawrence subject to the contingency of # serious break into the ranks of the regular Deanoer by Mr. O'Brign, What are the prospects of Mr. Hare. MEYER? The main reliance of his support ers is upon the 54,000 votes given to Scnin- Nor. They say that the same intluences which sustained Sertoser last fall will rally around HaAVEMeYER now. At the first view this point seems to be well taken, But it must be remembered that the Lib- eral Republicans are to be deducted from the Scxraner vote, and moreover, O'Baien s that he will get a heavy Republican vote, which of course must come out of ScRiuNen's 54,000, Mr. HAVEMEYE! anguine backers boast that he will get a pretty large Democrat vote, and that this, added to the Scrtm- NER vote, will elect him, But they over- look the important fact that about seven thousand of those who voted for ScRrmNER were Democrats, that they were drawn to him by the Committee of Seventy and other reform associations, and that these are the very kind of Democrats upon whom HaveMeverisrelying for aid. May it not be that his present supporters gave them all to Scriven last autumn, and that the very best they can now do is to transfer the same Democrats over to Havemeyer? This being so, he can only hope to get the balance of the 54,000 votes given to Scnipver after there shall hav been deducted therefrom the Liberal Re- publicans who will go for Lawrence and the Grant Republicans who will go for O'Brien. Now, how stands Mr. O'Brien? Heisa shrewd politician, and goes into the con- test with the prestige of past triumphs. Five years ago be was elected Sheriff against the regular Democratic nominee under circumstances not unlike those now surrounding his struggle for the Mayoralty. Last November be was elected Senato over Jonn J. Bravery, City Chamberlain, and brother-in-law of Peter B. Sweeny by more than 15,000 majority. Mr. O'Brres lieves in himself, and his followers be- ey lieve in him Mr. O Bries claims that he will be elected. He puts the Democratic vote thrown in the city last fall at 90,000, His confidential friends think that Have- MEYER may get possibly 10,000 of this vote that LawkeNce may get 49,000, and that O'Brrey will certainly get 40,000. They also assert that he will receive 10,000 votes from Grant R licans, and under con- templated contingencies many more than that nunber, all of which will be Havemeyver., His backers seem to be oc fident that. though the arrangement tered into between Mr. O'Brien and ( Gray? last spring has not been faithfully kept by the latter, and therefore O'Brres released from fulfilling it on his part nevertheless a large body of Repubti- ns will come to his aid, and thus make the race a very « one between Law- rence, Havemeyen, and O'Brres, In these estimates we have given the ws of the several candidates and their friends quite as much as our own, The loss to ae en- aspect of the field changes with every turn of the wind. In the course of the coming week new data will furnish more trust- worthy elements for predictions as to the result of one of the most complicated and curious political struggles that ever oc- curred in this metropolis. — Mr. Havemeyer a Bitter Partisan, A great deal has been said about separat- ing our municipal elections from State and national polities, and there is much force in the ide The nomination of WrLLiAM F.

The boundary line between the United States and the British possessions in North America was fixed by the AsnBunTON Treaty of 1846 at the forty-ninth parallel of north latitude It was found. however, that this line would di vide Vancouver's Island, giving the lower part to the United States, and loaving three-fourths in the possession of Zthe British. ty, therefore, provided that the dividing line should continue along the forty-ninth parallel to the middle of tho channel which separates the con- tinent from Vancouver's Island, and thence southerly through the middle of said channel and of Fuon Straits to the Paciflo Ocean. ‘The space between Vancouver's Island and tho mainland te Havemeven should any full of talands, and there are at least three sop- arate channels. ‘Tho British Governinent claimed Unat the Rosario Strait, the most easterly of the j Or Congress, and that New J. three, and therefore nonrest the mainiand, wns the one meent by the trenty, The United States Government claimed that aa the defleotion from the forty-ninth parallel was to prevent a division of Vancouver's Island, the channel nearest the island, known as the Canal do Haro, was the Proper boundary, The British Government of- fered to compromise on the middle channol, which would have given Kogland the island of San Juan, The question in dispute was referred to the peror of Germ: » who it appears has decided that the Canal do Haro Is the chan- nol which must divide the soveceignty of the Pavific oonat, ——— - In a recent speech delivered in Xenia, Ohio, the Hon. B. F. WADR undertook to apeak disparagingly of the moral courage of Cassius M. CLAY, and related an incident which he srid occurred in Washington while the CRITTENDEN compromise resolutions wore undor discussion, aa an evidence of Mr. Cuar's weaknoss. Mr. Wane sald that Chay came to him at that timo with @ paper containing the names of fourteen Senators who had promised to vote for the reso- Jutions If Mr. WApR would do #0, and urged him to give his vote with the others. WApm indig- nantly refused to accede to this request, and characterized Mr. Cuay as “a man sneaking into his chamber in order to persuada him to bocome traitor to his constituents.” In rogard to this story, Mr. CLAY raises an interesting question of veracity, declaring, in a letter addressed to the Richmond (Ky.) Register, that Mr. WADpn's utter- ances about him are absolutely falso in the sum and in detail. He furthor says that he was not in Washington in 1861, when CRITTRNDEN’S o¢ Promise was voted down, till after the adjourn- ment of Congress, and was never for Carrres- DREN'S of any other compromise short of the abolition of slavory in his life; at the same time going into other details to show that Mr, WapE has beon cousplcuously inaccurate in his state- ments. Mr. CLAY then proceeds to printa letter from Mr. Waa, in which the latter manifosts Lis astonishment at the apparent indifference of the Republican party to the fate of the people in Cuba, expressing his belief that one brave word from the Administration would be sufficient to end strife and give peace, justice, and liberty to the people of that island; and declaring that if that word should aot be spoken we should be dishonored asa nation. Mr, CLAY very effective- ly turns the tables on his traducer by comparing Wanr's brave utterances in this letter with his dumb acquiescence ip GRANT'S cowardly Cuban policy after receiving an appointment to pro- mote the San Domingo job. On the whole, Mr. Wane maker a very poor showing in this spicy controversy. —— By private letters from Puerto Prin we loam that the small expedition which left Puerto Plata with a few arms and a good sup- ply of powder and lead for the Cuban triots had been completely successful, Mr. Cas- TILLO, who bad charge of I", delivered every package of arms, ammunition, medicines, and clothing toGen.

Inthe United States District Court in Chicago a firm of paper manufacturers have fled a creditor's petition against the Post Printing Company of that city, in connection with which an affidavit was pre- sented setting forth that the company is insol- vent; that for weeks its affairs have been grow- ing worse, and that there is no prospect that it willbe able to make payment of its indebted- ness. The Chicago Post has had a brief but eventful history, having been in existence about six years, during which time numerous proprie- tors have paid dearly for whatever experience they gained from their counection with it. Being aspecially mendacious and scurrilous sheet, it mmended itself to the favorable consideration of President Grant, who has bestowed upon its editor a lucrative Federal office. — A reported discovery of a rich silver vein near Ontonagon, on the north shore of Lake Superior, in Mochigan, is causing consider- able excitement in the Lake Superior region. ‘The account given of the discovery and subso- ent proceedings to perfect a claim is curious. A man named CoURSER discovered the vein a short time ago, and took specimens of the min eral to Ontonagen, where copper mining has been carried on to some extent. The copper rather turned up tholr noses at the ore, some calling {t gray sulphuret of copper, and others iron pyritos, But Coumsen at longth found aman who had faith enough in the dis- covery to advance him the money to visit the Land Office at Marquette, on condition that half the claim should be his. On the way Coonser met AXCHY MCKELLAR, the north shore silver discoverer, and the result of this meeting was a new bargain by which MCK@LLan and Covaser became joint owners of the mi papitalist who advanced Counsen his stage fare apparent- ly being left out in the cold. ‘The superinten- dent of the Minnesota mine heard of the trans- action, and purchased a large proportion of CouRsER’S half for $1,000 cash. Then some specimens of the ore caine to the notice of the superintendent of Silver Island, and he pur- chased half of McKeLuAn's toterest for $4,000, So the property, one hundred Aud aizty acres, is now in the hands of four men, only two of whom appear to have mado any atlay to speak of in acquiring their shares. von is now said to be, in mining phrase, “the biggest thing on Lake Superior,” and is expected to yield untold thousands of dollars in silver, A correspondent writing from the west- ern part of Kentucky says that large numbers of the colored electors in that region will yove for Guretey, A few Blanton Duncanites are trying to influence the people there, travelling with other Guant speakers, and finding their only audien at GRANT meetings, But the O'Conor movement has been as great a fallure in Ken- tucky asit has proved elsewhere, and will not have any effect whatever on the vote of that State, — The report of a change in Japanese policy, notwithstanding its denial by those who are io terested in sustaining the course of Gant’s Ad- ministration toward Japan, is verifled by more recent advices, The authorities haye notified foreirners residing outside of foreign settle- ments to return at once, and Japanese have been forbidden to lease premises to them.

He com- pleted his part of the bargain, and now we seo the Republicans are doing their share. Have- meyer Is simply a dummy candidate, a gentle man to be admired, but not voted for, except b his own fainily and’a few select fronds, It will be noticed that Apollo Hall makes no complaint action of the Republicans in nominating Would not O'Brien and his follo ers do if they were not in the secret that Havemeyer is but a “dummy?

Never has so audacious and a0 shameless an attempt been made to deliver the PUbUeG rramury the rer are. yea, the health and ife of New Yorkers into the hands of a band of deeperadoes, as in the nomination of James O'Brien as’ a candidate for the highest 'm office. This nomination is of itself a dis grace to the metropolis of the Union which can only be romoved by a crushing rejection of the candidate through an enormus majority. O'Brien's election would bring about the rule of the lowest and roughest mob, which he could not hold in check even if he desired The honor of republican institutions requires an an- nibilating overthrow of O'Brien. and the whole world will regard this struggle in this light ———— THE FILTHY HORSE CARS, Board of Heal The O14 A be Conti Yesterday at 1 P.M.
