companies, and everything passed off plea
santly. Some of the Philadelphia companies and nu
merous citizen visitors paid their respects to ex

MASSACHUSETTS.
Arrest of Two of the Alleged Robbers
of the Bank of Norway, Malue A Long
Chiie-Eff.ct of Thieves Falling Out.
. Boston, Oct. 16. Two of the robbers who
were engHged in tbe robbery of the Norway
(Maine) bank have been arretted in this city,
and taken to Maine lor examination. They were
arrested by Detective Hunt, of Boston, thiough
inlormatiou furnished him by William Frasier,
barkeeper of the United States Hotel. Mr. Fra
lier had noticed the two parties arrested,
together with a couple of oibers, lounging
about the hotel under biispicious circurn
stances, aud one day he dii-eovered them en
gaged in a spirited ditcunrten, during which
one accusd another ot attempting to deiraud
him out ot $50,000, after tie had done all
the work and run all the risk. Kuives aud pistols
were drawn by the parties, and one of them sug
gested if there was a dilifcul y between them
all would be arrested, aud tuo whole would be
found out. Mr. Frazler reported tbe facts to De
tective Hunt, but when he tatne to look for
them they were non est. Two days airo, h5w
ever, Mr. Frazier found them in an eating
house near tbe Worcester depot, but when he
notified Hunt they were agHin missing; but it
was subt-equently ascertained that tbey had left
a kit ot burglar's too I J in tbe eating saloon,
and Officer Hunt, watchmg tbeir approach, suc
ceeded in effecting the arrest of two when they
called for their Implements next day. Both re
lused to give their names, but oue of them is
believed to be from New York, and the other
has evidently lately arrived from England.
There are good reasons lor believing that they
are ft part of tbe gang engaged in the late bold
robbery of the Blue IXUi Dank la Dorchester.
VIRGINIA.
Speech of Henry A. Win at the Opening
of the Horticultural Society In Illch
momd He advisee Yonng Men. to Be
come Farmere and Po Their Own
Labor.
Washington, October 10. The Horticul
tural and Penological Society of Vir
ginia was opened to-night in Richmond.
General Wise delivered the address. He com
menced by saying that "never in the history
of nations has revolution been more sudden,
shocking, aud severing limits effects than the late
coufllct of State aud Federal sovereignties in
the United States, in respect to all our relations,
political, social, and economical.
"The Constitution of federation has been broken
and set at naught, its compacts have been con
solidated in the irresponsible and unchecked
power of some, only through most of Its units,
and tbe other State constituencies or units in
the minority have been metamorphosed into
fractions or fragments of conquered provinces,
In which the supremacy of civil law, civil rights,
and civil jurisdiction has been dethroned 0y
military domination. The result is, that the
foundations of the whole have been so shaken
and shattered that no repairs only of the fabric
can make it firm and stable again; but it must
be entirely rebuilt anew, from corner-stone to
dome. The Union as It was docs not exist, and
States as they were have been demolished."
After describing the mode in which the Union
was formed, he said:
"This common Government was so plural in
fact that it had no name in the singular num
ber. Its very name is plural ot States the
United States not plural of people In the sense
of population. There Is a Maine man, a New
Yorker, a Virginian, a Kentuckian, a North or
South Carolinian, but even the great expounder
himself was never so immodest as to call him
self a United States man. lie was a Massachu
setts man, a son oi the elder sister of Virginia,
which hailed her cheerily in the night of the
revolution or rebellion against George theTblrd,
by the grace of Great King ol Biitain, when Vir
ginia and Massachusetts were States, in the exer
cise of tbe lights of tbe war, tbe highest act of
sovereignty, before the United States even
were.
He then spoke of the manner in which Sar
geantS. Prentiss made the two words "fellow
citizens" embiaoe and express the full grandeur
and greatness of our country, and inspire the
holy sentiment to preserve, guard, perpetuate,
and defend it, and said:
"Alas ! we are no longer fellow-citizens, no
longer citizens. Oar own, our native land, Its
civil liberty has departed; its Governments,
State and Federal, have been dissolved and
changed. Ihereareno longer any guarantees
of the rights of the one or checks upon the
powers of the other, and its soil has
been trampled in mire and filth by the in
vasion of a fratricidal civil war. Where
now is separate State identity? Where now
internal sovereignty r Where now equal dig
nity ? Where now self-protecting power or the
tegis of constitutional law? Where now sepa
rate State independence? The wrecks of powers
and of rights point to Congress. Congress has
stationed commundants over districts numbered
by proclamation. They have ordered the civil
to be subordinate and obedient to the military
authority. The conventional as well as the
municipal powers and capacities ot State peo
ples have been ignored, and enacted and pro
claimed ont of existence. The Executive
ennrts overrnln and oveiride the courts of the
judiciary. Tbe benches of justice are suspended
by epauletted commissions, who need nor
sheriffs nor sergeants, nor marshals, nor posse
commitatvswho drill to order, who substitute
ciiersjund tipstaves with drun and fife, who
serve no civil process, but note the minute of
the proofs verbal, add are armed with gloves of
steel to do martial executiou. Tbe free white
Eeople who were masteis but yesterday, are
umbled to become the political slaves of the
hlnrk frof dmon oi todav. The American slaves
ot yesteiday, the freedmen, not Ireemcn, of to",
day, are exalted to become the political black
masters of the white freemen of yesterday.
What a change In a single day I It was, rather,
a night of the oiactness or uhtkdcss oi surren
der. IA surrender not of the black ntan's chains
bo much as of the white man's natural rights of
race and civil rights of citizenship. It was a
change, not lroni slavery to liberty of the one
race, Dut a change of black slaves into black
masters, a change of white masters into white
slaves. Not a change of the Ethiopian's color
and nature into white, nor a change of the
Caucasian color and nature into black; not a
change of the races, but a change reversing the
relative conditions of the two races and mergiug
the rights and relations of both in an un
limited, unchecked, undefined despotism. Tbere
is no moie fellowship in citizenship. The
vase ot Uuion is broken, not crocked merely. It
is broken to pieces through and throughout
from tip to base. If held together, it is no longer
in amity and peace, aud by compact or agree
ment, or by ratification. It is now pinned by
bayonets, bound by brute force, cemented, not
by fraternal affection, uot by common love of
countiy, not by comradeship ol commou fate or
fortune, or cause or sacrifice, or glory or suffer
ing, oi triumph, but by an amalgam ol the co
agulated blood of enemies in war, not yet, in
feace, friends. This revolution has wrought
horough and fundamental changes in our social
system and our economy in every branch of
business, particularly that of the culture of the
land. The lands are all that are left us. They
are the only fountains ot our life, the only
sources of our supplies. The only earnest of
our renovation is the earth we live on, and the
lands are lett desolate and waste. This laud, of
every land tbe pride, is bereft of its verdure, its
blossom, aLd its bloom, its fruits and its flowers,
of eveij thing except its ancient renown, its
late glory in arms, and its present honor and
pride. The former laborers have been enticed
from the fields, and are now the pupils of poli
tics, the dupes of fanaticism, 'honev-iuetiled'
by tbe fatal catessescf co-operath.nists, and are
but too certain to be tbe demoralized victims of
the dtmaeopucs, and wblsky of elections, and
to be decimated by tbe dii-eases ot the now
licensed vices of their race liizinefs and lust.
Thtse changes demand an absolute cbango in
agriculture, a change from the plautatlon to the
farming system. This requires a new mode of
culture, new implements, new crops, more
various, on a smaller scale, more contracted aud
concentrated, requiring more skill, more care,
and yielding the most pro tit on the smallest
space. Virginians, if they would pot be driven
out from their own inheritance, should them
selves do this work ol farming for themselves.
Tbey must uot call on Hercules, nor freedmen,
nor German, nor Swede, nor immigrants from
any clime."'
After speaking of tbe favorable geographical
position of the State, her soil, climate, mineral
and other resources, be advned the landholders
of the State to give every encouragement to our
own whit3 labor, and the young men ot the
State to apply themselves to the study of agri
culture as a science, if tbey would tave the real
estate of their fathers, aud keep sacred the
altars of their own birthplaces and homes.
It is far more honorable to do this, be said,
than to skulk into profession by tbe bock door,
and become pettifogging lawyers aud quack
doctors, who practise their arts t rob clients

and certainly more Independent. He appealed
to the nianlv. proud, brave, and strong men ot
tbe State who bad neither means nor settled
pursuit to adopt agriculture as a business, aud
concluded hisaddrehs by an appeal to the young
men of the State ti labor earnestly and faith
fully, never to despair, and they to-night have
the assurance that better aad happier days for
them were 1b the near future.

MURDER AT TYBURN, PA.
A Colored Man Stabbed to Death by
Another Colored Man Named Brown
The Coroner's Jury Return a Verdict
of Wilful Murder Against Brown The
Perpetrator at Large.
The small village of Tyburn, Pa., between
three and four miles from Trenton, has been
aioused tioin its wonted stillness bv a most
cold-blooded and determined murder. Benja
min tiogan, a colored larmer, residing in the
above-named village, was stabbed to death on
Tuesday night, and Abraham Brown, also
.coloied.has been pronounced by the Coroner's
jury as being the perpetrator of the bloody deed.
An inquest was neia yesterday, ana tne only
witness that disclosed the character of the fatal
fray, John Hill, testified to the following effect:
About seven o'clock on Tuesday evening Hogan
came from Trenton, and asked witness had he
seen Brown with his wagon; witness answered
"no:" the deceased then told Hill that on that
day ho was driving in his team to the market
with corn, and, meeting Brown on the road,
accommodated him with a ride; the deceased,
having other business to transact In the city,
lcit Brown in charge of the team till his return;
during the absence of the deceased Brown
sold the corn and disappeared with the
money and wagon; the owner of the corn
searched in vain lor Brown, and, thinking ho
might have gone home, followed him in
that direction; when the deceased found
Brown had not arrived, he asked Hill to
accompany him back again to Trenton to look
after him: they had not gone far when they
met Brown driving the team towards home:
the deceased censured Brown for treating him
so dishonestly, aud demanded the price of his
com; Brown, instead of giving the money, re
torted in smart words, arid struck the deceased
with a whip; Hill quelled the dispute, and
thinking peace had been restored, left the dis
putants; but he had not proceeded twenty
paces when Hogan roared out: "He stabbed
me! he stabbed me!" Hill hastened back, found
the decerned stretched on the ground in a sense
less condition, and saw Brown decamping, but
not striking the fatal blow; Hogan died almost
immediately.
A post mortem examination was held, and the
doctors found tbat a sbarp instrument (most
probably a knife) had entered between tbe first
and second ribs, penetrating the heart about
one inch. An inquest was held yesterday and a
verdict of wiltul murder In the first decree was
returned against Abraham Brown. The do
ceased had a very comfortable home, and leaves
a wife and helpless family to mourn hla loss.
The assassin is still at large, and it is said a man
answering to his description was observed get
ting on the cars at Mobar station, on the Belvi
dere Railroad, about 9 o'clock yesterdav morn
ing. Great excitement prevails 4n the hitherto
peaceful hamlet of Tvburn, and tbe inhabitant
are loud in their desires for the capture of the
dastardly murderer. Jv. Y. Eerald.

At the great Republican mass meeting held
last night at the Cooper Institute, New York
city, Mr. Greeley read the following letters:
LETTER FROM 8BNATOR SHERMAN.
Mansfield, Ohio, Oct. 14, 1867. My Pear
Sir: I regret that I am not able to attend your
meeting at the Cooper Institute on the 16th
instant. 1 would like in person to as-ure you
that the Republicans of Ohio are not in the
least discouraged by the elections on last Tues
day. General Uaves and the whole State ticket
are elected by 3000 majority, which we will
make 60,000 next fall with case. We lost tho
State in 1862 by 6000 majority, on the Emanci
pation Proclamation of Abraham Lincoln. The
r,e.t year we beat Vallandieham by 101,000 on
the same issue. Impartial suffrage and Implicit
observance of the public faith will next year, as
this year, be engraved on our banners, and will
as surely triumph as that God rule. Indepen
dence wonld have been defeated in 1775. It wa3
proclaimed throughout the land in 1776. Our
soldiers were not disheartened with partial
defeats, but tbe Copperheads were. Tbey raised
the white flag in 1864.
In 1866 the national banner floated In triumph
over every part of our country. 8o will It be
next year. In themean time we will learn wis
dom lrom our defeats. We must insi't upon
greater economy in public expenditure. Wc
must enforce our revenue laws. We must
cease to quarrel among ourselves, Our adver
saries may be made useful In closing our
ranks. I trust that New York, as the Empire
State, may take the lead in this movement, and
by maintaining Republican ascendancy, con
vincc Democrats and Rebels that the party an1
tbe principles that prevailed during the war
will govern tbe country, now tbat peace an I
Union have been won. With the best wishes
for jour success, I am truly yours,
John Sherman.

letter from governor brownlow.
State of Tbnnksbee, Executive Department,.
Nashville, Oct. 11, 1867. Messrs. John Fitch,
A. B. Sage, P. A. Conkllng, Geo. II. Van Cleft
and others of Union Republican Central Com
mittee, New York. Gentlemeu: I am in re
ceipt of your favor of the 8th lost., Inviting me
to address the Union Republicans of the city f
New Yoik at the Cooper Institute on the eve
ning of Wednesday, Oct. 16, Inst. In reply I
beg to say that my official duties at the Capitol,
in connection with tbe session of the Legisla
ture which has just convened, will prevent my
being present with you on that occasion. I trust
that the noble-hearted Republicans of New
York are not going to fold tbelr arms and let
the world, the flesh, and the devil (all Included
In the term Democracy) sweep the field as they
seem to have done in Ohio and Pennsylvania.
Send a delegation of lukewarm radicals down
here, and we will show them what live, earnest
work is, such as has given ua 62,000 majority in
our recent canvass.
Our Union Leagues furnished the organiza
tion through which we worked, aud I need not
assure you that it proved a most efficient one.
Say to our brethren of New York, who, throueh
the press, found so much fault with our style of
conducting aflairs during the last contest, that
we expect them to show by their triumph in
November tbat the manner in which they carry
on political campaigns Is much more effective
than ours, and that nothing short of a splendid
victory can possibly justify them in our estima
tion for having given us so much excellent ad
vice during our recent struggle. With best
wiBhes lor your aucce&ft, 1 am very truly youra,
W. G. Brownlow.
letter from senator wade.
Jefferson, Oct. 12, 1867. A. B. Sage, Esq.,
Secretary Union Republican Committee of the
City of Aew York.-Sir: Your circular ot tbe
8th Inst, is received. 1 regret my inability to be
with you on the 16th inst. as you request. But
I hope and trust that the Republicans ot the
great Empire Mate will not abite one jot of
courage or hope in consequence of the tempo
rary check their brethren have had in Ohio.
For more than fourteen years Ohio has had a
succession of Republican Governors, and sbe
never will have any other. Her recent narrow
escape will only have the effect to secure her
against future accidents. The Republicans ot
Ohio were never more radical, more confident of
their itrength, nor more resolutely determined
to carry out their principles to a final triumph,
than now; and, if our election could be held
over again to-morrow, warned of our danger, we
should carry the State by more than 60,000. We
certainly shall do this next fall if we stand
firmly by the great and godlike principle of
equal and exact justice to all men. But even
defeat on such a principle Is better than victory
on any other, and fina1. defeat on this principle
is as impossible as that a God of justice .shah
eease to rule the world.
Yours, with respect, B. P. Wade.

The New York Herald this morning says:
"Tbe Money Market was very active at seven

was paid in gold to the private bankers althougn

The Boston Post says: "The anticipations
which wero ndulged in to a considerable extent,
rometbreeweeksince, in regard to an easy
condition of monetary affairs after the 1st of
October, hava been only partiallv realized. The
week opens with a brut demand for money. In
the discount line there are but- few fortunate
Individuals, comparatively,, whose wants are
supplied at less than 7 per cent., tho exceptions
below this figure being in favor of such parties
as keep good average balances, and are consi
derably outnumbered by those applicants who
prefer' to pay 7J, and In some instances 8 per
cent., rather than go outside of the banks and
submit to still higher rates. On call loans
(Governments or other flrst-elass collateral) the
transactions are mainly at 6i0c7 per cent., wttn
occasional but rather rare exceptions at 0 per
ceat."
At Chicago, Bays the Tribune
"The Money market presents no new featircf
though tbe demand from grain operators is on
the increase, which tends to make the market
closer, In view of tho fact that the banks are
making preparations to meet the wants of
the packers, some of whom have already com
menccd operations. The offerings oi sight bills
are light, but thore Is an Increased demand for
discounts on time bills against shipments. Io
some instances these are credited up at the
usual rate, but as a general rule there is no dis
position on tbe part of the bankers to accept
such paper. The mercantile demand is mode

modated to the extent of their accounts at the
usual rate. In the open market money com
mands 1J2J per cent, per month. New York
funds were in active demand, scarce, and higher,
with sales between banks at par. The firmness
Is only looked upon as being a temporary one.

the increased demand on mercantile account.
Tbe counter rates were unchanged."
