Wliec "William Pitt Fessenden be came Secretary of the Treasury be con • fwred with the banks of New York and St. Louis on the financial situa tion. After his return to Washington i lie received a disjtaich from the St. Louis tankers saying, that after ecu- Kidering the whole mat ter they had de cided that the views of the New York bankers were nearer correct than theirs. Ch the next day he received a dispatch from the Xew York bankers, *ying that upon second thought they had decided that the St. Louis bankers' ▼*ws wilt the sound ones. The Sec retury then smiled grimly and decided 1c go It alone.

The ar rangement was fir more delicate than the subscription to the fund in his be half in Im'-8. . Hut ihe parties to it are as well known as weie Fish, Boric, Childs, Drexel, and the others who flourished during two terms as the power behind the throne. Grant is as much a candidate now as he was in IStVS or in 167:2. All the King chiefs and a great number of lea ders in the l!epublicun party are for him first, last, and all the time. They have not changed m the least degree, or abated a jot in devotion. Their pro gramme of a sectional crusade has been organized with reference to Grant. All the platforms are manufactured in one mould and they bear the impress of a preconcerted plan cf campaign for I>SJ, by forcing an issue with the South, and claiming that a man with an iron grip is demanded in the Excutive office. The tradition of the Presidency from Washington down counts for nothing with this faction. They want power, patronage, the Treasury, the high lien ors, and a strong govern went-, backed by a great standing army, an increased navy, and European forms and cus toms, without regard to expense. The glitter of a court at Washington, with class distinctions, enormous outlay, parade, palaces for the Cabinet, and extra appropriations for maintaining the dignity of their s' at ions, are :il comprehended i.i the scheme of a res toration of Grant ism. Grant is shrewd and does not mean to ft iter the Convention with any or dinary chance of I ising the nomination. His expectatioi is to conquer it in ad vance, so that there will be nothing uiore than a ratification of the ma chine's decree, when the delegates get together eight months heuce. lie turn ed aside from au intended journey to Australia in obedience to a call from the wire pullers, who tokl him the time had come for a persona' participation 011 his part, llence his return byway of California for the proposed ovations.

DETROIT, Oct. 2.—An Adrian. Mich icran, special to tho Detroit Post and Tribune gives particulars of an accident that occurred at the county fair grounds in that cily this afternoon. About 2,000 people had assembled on the newly-erected grand stand to wit uess the races. The centre of the stand gave way with a crash. The front part fell outward and the back fell into the river, precipitating the mass of people among the ruins. Work was at once commenced to extricate the dead and wounded, and tho Opera House was opened and many of the dead and wounded, as fast as extricated, were convoyed there. The killed, so far as known, are M. M. Merck, Adrian; Mrs. John Huhbaid, Jasper, Mich.; two boys, about 12 years of age, nam- d Hyle and Mosher; David l'lumadore, Petersburg, Mich., aged 18; William Mulzer, Adrian. A large number were wounded, many of them seriously, not a few fatally. DETROIT, Oct. 3.—Further particu lars received fiom Adrian, Michigan, where the terrible accident on the county fair grounds occurred yesterd iy state that the total number of deaths from the accident so far is sixteen, the following persons having died since hist night's report: Ilenry Hart, Sec. of the Mich. State Ins. Co.; A. Henderson, Millie Hall and a Chinese washerman, of Adrian; Dan'l Johnson, of Manches ter; Mr. Hume, of Medina, Mich., and Eva Sherrard, of Tecumseh, Mich. The seriously injured number seventy five, some of whom, the physicians say, cannot live through the day. The ar chitect of the grand stand structure is the person blamed for the fatal casual ty. The stand was built unusually light to admit of space for the exhibi tion of wagons and carriages under neath, and the timbers were simply spiked together, instead oi being mor tised and braced. The Democrats of Philadelphia have nominated a splendid ticket. Samuel ; Hartranft, for Sheriff, David S. Page, f'r Treasurer, and Thomas Greenback, Register of Wills, are just as good men es the city has and there is quite a fair prospect of their electiou. • The New York World is opposed to Tilden, for President. It is in favor of Hancock and Bayard. That would be a splendid ticket if it were reversed— Bayard and Hancock. 1 Mormon Settlors. A. Mail with many WIVOR cannot pre-empt Land legally. ■WASHINGTON, Sept. .'JO.—An inter esting decision has just been made "by Actif>g .Secretary Bell, of the Interior Department, in the case of Hugh Lyons against llachael Stevens, of Salt Lake City, involving a question of light of these parties to a section of land in the Salt Lake City land district. The claim of Lyons is rejected on the ground that the tract was not subject to pre emp tion settlement by him. ltaclmel Ste vens it appears, U one of several wives of John G. lloluian, whom she recog nizes as her husband, and ho to all cin tents and purposes governs and con trols her acts. The decision holds, in view of llolimin's polygamous condi tion, that "if the first polygamous wife whilo voluntarily retaining that illegal relation to a nan may in her own name obtain titles to one hundred and sixty acres of public lands, the second or twentieth wife may do the same, and the so-called husband would thus obtain in fact for Lis own use and ben • efit the control of that number of tine's of public laud. This will not be per mitted under tlio homestead or pre emption laws. If the so-called wife,'' tiio decision continues, "should repudi ate the illegal relation and cease to vi olate the positive laws 01 her country and of the civilized world, tin? fact that sho had at one time been called wife of a man, and had maintained that rela tion to him, would not operate as a bar to her right. The woman, howev er who voluntarily maintains and HC knowledges her position to he that of a plural and polygamous wifeshouldbenot permitted! to make a homes;ead or pre emption entry of public laud, asrtlie very fact that she retains such relation is conclusive evideuce that the enliy is not made in good faith, for her exclu sive use ami benefit. Senator Conkling at G'anon cliet. A Statemant that 13 Represented as Authorized by Gov. Spra>fuo. PROVIDENCE, 11. 1., Sept. 30.— The following statement, which has been made to your correspondent may be re garded as authoritative as coming from Gov. Sprague: "The Saturday after Senator Conkling was driven from Canonchet, became to Providence and sought out a gentleman here, who went to Gov. Sprague to intercede with him that nothing of the occurrence at Nar nigausott Pier should be made public through the press of the country. The messenger returned the same day and told Mr. Colliding that the Governor sent back word for word, the foil nving message: (b>v. Sprague will not leave the scandal of Washington to bj repea ted in his own household." Mr. C >nk ling was set back, but went to wo k with a view to set Mr. C ;a.T -c, trusteo or the Spr.gue estate, against Gov. Sprague, with tlie aiitieipition of hav ing him removed from his house, ar rested and confined as a madman. Tln-ise facts are susceptible of proof." Gov. Sprague authorizes the publica tion i:i full of the following letter from Mr. Ilassaid, counsel to Mrs. Sprague, written before her departure from Con necticut : MY DEAR MRS. SrnAOUK; I have no doubt of Liie propriety <>f what you sug gested.

Yours tiuly, E. 11. II ASS A KD. Sixty or seventy Republicans of more or less prominence in New York have signed a circular addressed to the voters of the State, which sets forth reasons why Republicans who desire reform within tho party cannot vote for Cor nell, the Republican candidate for Gov ernor. Copies of the address have been sent to most of the Republicans in the city and thousands of them mailed over the Stats. The revolt seems to be for midable niul will count in behalf of the Democratic canili late, Gov. Robinson, as most of the anti machine Republi cans will vote for him. Governor Iloyt has appointed.llenry Green, Esq., of Easfcon as an Associate Justice lo the Supreme Court, to fill the vacancy caused by, the death of lion. Warren J. Woodward. The ap pointment is considered a very goed one. The term of Judge Green, under the Governor's commission, will end on the first Monday of January, 1881, when the place will be filled by the per son to be elected in November of next year, for the full term of twenty one years. Rumor supposed t) be based on good authority, says that Mr. Hayes will ap point Galuslia A. Grow, of our own state, and Reuben E. Fenton, of New j York, Ministers to Russia and Eng land, respectively. Both gentlemen are among the very ablest and best in the Republican ranks. The Philadelphia Times thinks there will be a Democratic gain of b,OOO to 8000 in the counties of Lackawanna and Luzerne, oyer last year's vote in those counties. Mr. Barr's strength is also gaining in other parts of the state and his election may be put down as pretty certain, I ADMINISTRATOR'S NOTICK.—<>r HdiiiiniHtratlon on ill"' cstato of Haviil Annum.
