The Democracy of this city had their last
j-rand rally, previous to the election, at the
Cooper Institute last eveninc. It 1 needless to
ay tbat the hall was crowded, and the throng
outside was immense. A somewhat novel fea
ture tor a Democratic meeting was the presence
of ladies, ot whom there was a good sprinkling
La the audience.
The tiall was largely decorated with Stars
rnd Stripes, andasiugle Inscription "Connec
ticut, California, and Pennsylvania look to New
'York to head the column" adorued t be rear of
thestage. Besides Hie speakers whose names
are mentioned below, a luriie number of Deino
erntic politicians uud notabilities ot tho in i nor
Sort occupied scats upon ttie platform.
The meeting was called to order at 8 o'clock
tij May.ir Hollman, who nominated Mr. James
T. Brady as Chairman. The nomination was
received with cheers, tind unanimously indorsed.

judicial. The people bad become tired of thia
thing and they demanded a change a change that
si ouid aailHly Ibe American people tbal there was
sttnethliig left or the Constitution which their fathers
'ktued. The Kepublican party had thrust aside the
gr at men and none greater ever lived who made

KB. V0ORHKES' SPEKCH.
Mr. Voorhees said thai be did not discuss tbe ques
tion of reconstruction In a local, but lu a national
aeuse. Wbal bad been gained to the country by peace
within the past two and a half years? Toe promise
of reMured liberty bad not been fulfilled by the
Hi publican party. What Lee, Johnston, and tbt-ir
followers baa failed to achieve bad been accomplished
by Tbaddeus hteveus and bis followers. The
Southern Mates were considered by tbein out of tbe
Unit a. Wby was not VlrgluU a State In the Union
now T Because the demagogues kept ber out.
ThoicBtaies during the war were taxed as If they
werebtatesof the union. The pledges ol the radi
cal Congress bad been broken and considered as
naught. By the riS-ilt ol this doctrine we had Ave
military dintrfois, unknown io the Constitution, in
tba Southern Slates. Tbe right ol habeas corpus lay
d, ad, ai d gloom aud desolation covered one section
of our land. We could not escape the impending
evil, Military despo Ism could not exist at tbe South
without canting a blight over the wbole land. We
bad. w lib folded arms, witnessed pillar after pillar of
the grest republic lull to pieces. W hat was thereto
protect tbe Empire State herself from usiult if the
present t onuress here kept In power ? By the act of
reconsliuollon 6(0 ouo ntgroes were enfranchised,
and nearly l.OtKi.uco of white men were deprived of
suffrage. We could not allurd thus to let our coun
try be "d ranged to the depths of perdition, li
-was by this act ot Congress, too, that ten States ol
the Union bad been given ever to negro rule. Theie
negroes now had tbe power to send fifty representa
tives to the Lower ilouse ot Congress aud twenty
members to the Senate, and no tower could Inter
vene to wrest that prlvl'ege from them. The West
India Islands told the future of tbe South. He would
appeal to the people of the Mortu to prevent such a
late of affairs. In the canvass tf next year let New
York do her duty and all would be well. The only
departuinnl of the country that had stood unshakn
by tbe great tide or disunion was tne Executive. He
trusted the people would never desert Andrew Jnhu
son In these hours or his trial. Mr. Voorhees closed
bla speech by urging the people of tbe North to ex
tend to tbe south tbe band of charily, clerueucy, and
amnesty. (Applause.)
MB, COX'S SFKKCD,
Be congratulated his bearers that the Democratic
baionielur was rising, (Applause.) The people of
An.erha, In tbelr political pilgrimage, were about
coming tack again Into the shadow of the old Demo
cracy. ( pi'luuse.) tie could also congratulate tne
Iteiiubllcau purty and their irltnus, the colored popu
lation, (laughter.) For they had cmtrlouted larnely
to the result that was about to ensue, and tucy,
both black and white, would be srastly benefited
thereby. Balph Waldo Emerson bad said this
summer at Cainbride that there was great hope
in mi" ritlts. Aid why? Because minorities li id
the right and duty of tree criticism, and were mi
liar we' led and ui corrupied by the vultures tbat
follow In the wake of power. During tbe war me
Ke,ubll. ans were In tue habit of talking a good deal
about Providential dispensations. He would like
to ,k now what they thought of the recent election h,
viewed in a VrovlUeiuial aspect. (Luugbter.) It was
his opinion tbat God, lor some wise purpose, was now
shaking them over hell, (Sensation ) He didn't know
but He would drop them In. (Great laughter and
applause.) It be hnd them In band he certainly
would. (Laugbter.) Whether Ood would do It or not
depended, llrst, on tbe sincerity of their repent
ance, and, second, on the strength of tbelr
breeches. (Great luugbter aud long continued ap
plause.) He could oulysay, It either ot them were
shoddy, "good-bye," (Heuewed applause.) ills
In'piesslon was that 1'rovldence would suspend
them there a while, in order that tbey might learn
to draw their lnsplrailons not from bate, revenge,
aud all uucbariiubleueas, hut from above, Irum
whence rometh peace, good-will, aud charity. But
wheu the Democrats got power they would not do by
the Republicans as they were doue by mobbed and
Imprisoned for opinion's sake but would extend the
same charily and forglveueas to them tbat tbey had
tried to extend lo their erring brethren of the South.
The speaker then took up the late elections, and gave
bis exp anatlon of their meaning. The Democratic
raualoHte for Uovernor of Ohio be claimed, was fairly
eced y leal aud constitutional voles. But, he
jld, the Kepublican Judges ol election lei all sorts ot
IojI vote quadroons, ocioroons, mushrooms, and
whut not. (I.uuvhter.) In Pennsylvania the Demo
cracy had selected a Judge who had decided that
greenbacks were not leal-tender, hut who held that
the old bard money currency of the country
was the currency of Democracy, and tbe cur
rency of Mod. (Slight applause.) The graud
result of these elections was that the people
bud expressed their determination to put
their foul upon the reconstruction policy of Congress,
iie would call their attention for a moment to the
practical result of that policy. Suppose the negroes
did ote In all the ten Stales for a Constitutional
Convention what then? II would have to be auti
xni. led lo lae people, and it might be rejected. But
summse the new Constitutions were adopted.
Where would they have to be sent? To Audrew

Johnson? ("We have," and applause.) Want
would be do? He would send these Constitutions lo
Congress, or be could keep them labia pocket, list

7A' PAN-ANGLICAN CONFERENCE.
Address by Bishop Odenhelraer.1
Notwithstanding the number of meetings and
other entertainments advertised for last even
ing, a largo Biidiinc; Rsdcmblfd at Grace
Church, to listen to on address by Pihop
Odonttcimer, on the proceedings of the recent
Conference of Bishops, at Itmbetb. Pal.ice,
England. After impropriate religions services,
which were porticipated in by several minis
ters, the Hiphop announced, as the foundation
of his remarks, the words of the Psalmist Da
vid: "Behold, how gool and how pleasant It
lu for brethren to dwell together in unity." It
was with these attractive words that he greeted
his bearers. It wa? from there, two moaths
neo, thut he took leave of his people and asked
their praj rrs for him In his journey across the
occ.'iu. Now be had come back sare, and ho
desired to thank them for this cordial reception.
Two mouths did not seem long, but in that
time he bad listened to words of fraternal
love lrom Bishops of England, Scotland, fre
land, Abia, Africa, etc. He never expected to
wiires such a gathering of eminent men. They
hud come from all quarters of the earth at the
solicitation of the Archbishop of Canterbury, to
whom he paid a fine tribute as a kind-hearted
and noble man. They first invoked God's
blesning on their undertaking. The Conference
was called that good might be don-;. It was
not competent to make declarations, but it was
calculated to bind us together id peace and char
ity, it had stirred bishops in every part of the
world to bhow their faith in the Church ; that they
were one in spirituality, notwithstanding there
might bp diversity ot opinion. The Conlerence
was compohed of men of great learning and
standing, and yet meekness of wisdom charac
terized them all. There were lordly men
there men whose names are Billed up wltli
the politics of England but they were men
ol God notwithstanding; they were true
hearted. He mentioned the names ot several
of the bit-hops who attracted special attention,
and said he could not say too much In praise of
the Archbibhopof Canterbury.who presided, aud
made the opening address, which was very tine.
The place of meeting Lambeth Paltce is
full of rich and varied associations. It dates
buck to the twelfth century. The hall in which
they met was formerly the armory of the Palace.
Its walls are now adorned with portraits of
various bishops. But the chief place of interest,
was the chapel. Here Bishop White was conse
crated; here also were consecrated the three
bishops who luid tho foundation of Episcopacy
in the United States. The influence that thee
three bishops had exerted for the good of the
Church in this country was alluded to in glowing
terms. The beneficial stream that had gone out
from tbat chapel had indeed swollen into a ma
jestic river. Feeling allusion was mado to the
character of Archbishop Parker, whose body
rested in the chapel. After resting there for
awhile, both the body and that of the Protestant
Church had been rooted out. But tbe times
have changed, and since the Beformittlou the
body of the Archbishop had been brought back.
He exhorted his hearers to pray for the perpe
tuity ot the Church, for if the heresy of anti
christ should ever overrun England again, both
the Church aud the body of tbe Archbishop will
be cast out.
Tbe results accomplishes by the Conference
were referred to in hiirb. terms. It did nut do
What some thought it would do consider dis
puted dogmas. It is not do what it did not in
tend to do. It was called for the purpose of
drawing brethren together in fraternal friend--hip,
so that all might be one; where all sat as
equals, notwithstanding the ditrereuce ot station
or learning. It unanimously adopted the pas
toral letter which declares what it has done.
He regarded it as the most important gathering
of ecclesiastics since tbe days ot the ltelortua
tion. Christian peace aud unity had beea pro
moted. The Conference cloed with the eucliu
rifct, and the members took their departure from
the table of tho Lord.
The Bishop spoke for nearly an hour with
great animation, and closed by some kind words
of exhortation to bis hearers, hopine tbat thy
would cherish peace, good will, and fraternal
charity, in order that tbe prayer of our Master
may be fulfilled, that "you all may be one." If
we do net always approve of the method by
which union is to be attained, let us love one
another. A'ewark Com. Advertiser, 31 uil.
OBITUARY.
Iitwrinct Goodhut Blgolow.
L. Gootihue Bigelow, a prominent citizen of
Burlineton, Vt., died of dropsy ol the heart on
thelidhult. Wendell Phillips says of him:
"Air. Bigelow was a man of generous culture
and devotedly interested in all social and reform
quettioDs. With the literature of these subjects
he kept himself thoroughly conversaut, and few
men contributed more, in conversation, to a full
discushion of them. JNotestof patriotism ever
found him wanting. No duty to unpopular opi
nions was ever too hard lor his sturdy hdcllty to
conscience and his convictions, His single
hearted. Instinctive loyalty to truth made him
clear sighted in every emergency, and gave him
a judgment which it was always sate to follow.
He was one of the two whole-souled men who
made their way over the New York hills on that
December morning to be present at the funeral
of John Brown. A day spent under that roof
made bb more Intimately acquainted with him
than months of ordinary intercourse. Every
year since has increased our sincere respect,
ripening it into the warmest reeard. We well
remember, in our last conversation, his cordial
joy that he hud been permitted to see so much
of the triuini h of the principles he loved, and
his abound faith in the future."

A Stern Parent Shoots Ills Daughter's
Swsttheart.
On Wednesday evening quite a serious affair
took place near Guttcnberg, N. J., which came
near proviug fatal to one ot the parties. It ap
pears that a youns; German named Henry Otter
60B, residing in New York, has been paying at
tention to the daughter of a German residing
near Guttenberg, named Brentze. Ottersou has
been repeatedly warned by the father of the girl
not to visit his house, and had forbidden his
daughter to have anything to do with the young
man. .
The two lovers, however, heeded not the
threats of the old gentleman, an l on Wednesday
night Otterson stole quietly into the bouse,
where he remained for some time. Mr. Brent.e,
however, discovered the two and caught Otter
son by the collar and threw him out of doors.
He then diew a pistol and bred one shot, the
ball taking effect in Ottei sou's leftside. The
latter cried, "I am shot," and fell on the side
walk. Brentze, becoming alarmed, had tho
wounded man picked np and conveyed into the
house, when a physician was seht for, who pro
nounced Otterson in a critical condition. Tbe
ball was extracted, and at last accounts be was
somewhat Improved. Every effort has been
mtideto keep the matter quiet, as It is under
stood that Ottersou has declined to ro-tkeany
charge, in hopes of recovery. tf. Y. Uerald.
Tho Tower of London.
The English papers attribute to the Secretary
of State for War the intention of remavln at
least a part of the military stores In the Tower
to a more convenient depot. A correspondent
of the Pall Ma i Qaxetle bepes that the Secretary
will remain of the same mind until the work is
thoroughly done, and adds:
"I trust tbat the whole of the barrack furni
ture and utensils will be Included lu the collec
tion thus to be removed, and that the tower will
for the future be reserved for the small arms
alone.
"It is neither a convenient nor a suitable
place for keeping the other bulky articles com
prised in the term stores; It is approachable by
water only at high tide, and is at a distance
from any ereat railway goods terminus. In
order to obtain space for the various stores
which are stowed away In this old fortress
hideous ecrescenc s, such as brick, iron, and
wooden sheds, bave been built against the walls,
which hide and deface the recent restora'ion
aud entirely destroy the character of the pltee!
"In addition to this drawback, the custodians,
nervously anxious for the security of the publio
property entrusted to their charge, obi 'ct, with
reason, to allow strangers to wander unattended
round the precincts, so that the intelligent
visitor whose curiosity extends beyond tbe
desire of inspecting horse armories and jewels
Is debarred from sirolling over the ramparts or
walking round the ditches of this ancient
citadel."
The Tower has served as a palace, a trison, a
menagerie, a fort, an arsenal, and a strong-box
for the royal Jewels, and is now to do additional
duty as a lurnlture warehouse.

THE VIRGINIA ELECTION.
Virginia Is the first State tn which a fall vote
of both races has beea polled under the Beeon
strurtion act. Although there la a considerable
preponderance of white voters In the State,
tbcre seems to be no doubt that the call for a
convention Is sustained by a large majority,
and that the convention will be radical In poli
tics. So far this Is a very acceptable result.
But It Is attended with some drawbacks which
deserve attention, especially as they proceed
from causes which may find a larger field of
operation, aud produce very serious results.
We have on several occasions alluded to the
dangerous effects which might be produced
among th freed men of the South by the cur
rent talk about confiscation, and the sugges
tions of politicians that tbe nero might pro
perly use his ballot as a means of personal ad
vantage. It is evident that our warnings were
only ;oo much needed, and our fears too well
touuded. The fear, once com mo 11 at the North,
that the votes of the negroes would be ton
trolled by their masters, has beeu entirely dis
pelled. The fear, common among a didereot class,
that the negroes would use their power brutally,
long since passed away. But while U is clear
both that the negroes will vote in a mass tor a
Kepublican ticket, and that they will be in tne
main a law-abiding class, it is also plain thut
they are in danger of lulling into the hands ot
demt-gogues who will use them without scruple
for purposes which will finally prove disastrous
to the race.
Mr. Hannicutt. of Richmond, is tbe foremost
example of this class. Originally, no doubt, a
well-meaning man, zealous lor liberty and loy
alty, he has been perverted by the prospect of
power which his great Influence among the
colored people opened to him, and embittered
by the hatred of his white neighbors. His
publio language has sometimes had an affecta
tion of liberality, but it is mamlest that his
actions bave all been governed by a narrow
desire to keep the Republican patty ot the fttate
under his own control. He has persuaded the
colored people to distrust every white man out
side his own little clique; and has urged them
to a course of political action which hat ex
cluded every respectable white man from their
alliance, although thousands were willing and
even anxious to co operate with them upon
honorable terms.
The natural result of such bigotry was shown
In tbe reeent vote ot Richmond, where tnere are
hundreds of white Republicans fully as radical
as Mr. Greeley or Senator Wilson, yet who were
driven to support a conservative ticket; so that
Mr. Hunnicutt and his associates received less
than fifty white votes in tne whole city. It is
true that Mr. Hunnicutt secured his election,
which was all that he cared a iout. but at the
cost ot consolidating the whole white race m
opposition.
We rejoice to believe that this event, in view
of the narrow escape which Mr. Hunnicutt bad
from entire defeat, will prove lata! to his higher
aspirations. But there are more important
interests at stake than tbe fortunes of a single
demagogue. The Republican party puts its
existence in peril by tolerating such a policy as
has been adopted in Richmond. The national
leaders of tbe party must find some means of
liberalizing the party managers at tho South,
or the whole plan of reconstruction will fail,
dragging the party to ruin with it.
We say it deliberately, no scheme of recon
struction can succeed with the white race at the
South unanimously opposed to it. It can suc
ceed though every Rebel, in States where all
the whites are Rebels, oppose it. It can suc
ceed against the will of uine-teutbs ol the whole
white population of the South. But if It is so
managed as to disgust the whole white race as
a race, irrespective of birtbpluce, politics, asso
ciations, and interests It must inevitably fail.
The reason is obvious. The white race im
mensely preponderates iu the nation at large.
Othrr things being equal the whites will sym
paUizewith whites, rather than with men of
another color. Tbe stannehest abolitionist
shares in this feeling. Now the Northern
Eeonle, in their just indignation against a Re
eilion, wicked in its origin, in Us conduct, and
in its end, and, perhaps, eveu more irritated by
the bad laith with which the South sought to
evade the terms to which it professed to accede,
have fallen out of sympathy with the rebellious
class, which includes nearly all tho Southern
whites.
Ihe opposition of this class to tbe plan of
reconsiruction excites, tberelore, little interest
in the mind of a Northern man of North"ru
principles. The appeals of Mr. Hill aud Mr.
JobnsDn, though not wltoout an clenent of
ieason in them, create no Impression at the
North. Tberantings ot tbe malignant 8 mthern
newsrapers, when republished here at all, ouly
stiengthen the popular determination to sup
port Congress.
But it every Northern white man moving
South and every white Republican is driven b
tbe intolerance of tbe colored men at the Soat-i,
urder tbe lead of a dozen selQsb white leaders,
to join himself with the opponents of the rccon
ftructed Governments if tbe negroes are mis
led into drawing a line by which, practically,
white men are excluded because tbey are white,
or even because they prefer the so
ciety of whites to blacks no sensible
man can doubt that the sympathies and votes
of the North would speedily be transferred to
tbe side of the white race, and that negro euf
trage would be swept away without hesitation.
Possibly the negroes would resist the decree. So
much tho worse for them. Their resistance
would be vain to save them, but would certainly
involve them in terrible calamities.
Now we tpeak In the Interebt of the Republi
can purtv, ol equal suffrage, and of the colored
people. Wo are their friends, and desire to show
our friendship by faithful warnings whilo
there is time to profit by them. It Is a good
season (or plain speaking. Mr. Hunnicutt may
possibly not be the seldsh demagogue that we
take him for. Perhaps it ie only by an innocent
blunder that he shut out Governor Plerpout
and Krauklln Stearns to make room on his ticket
for James Morrisbcy. Perhaps it Is a mere mis
apprehension of his pulrvitic purposes which
has driven all ihe while Republicans of Rich
mond, and two-thirds of all in Virginia, intj
the bosom of tbe conservative party.
We may concede all this. Bat Mr. nunui
cuti's innocence has enough m schief in it to
damn tbe purest aad best party that ever ex
isted. If he is really patriotic ho will witbdra v
lrom a po-ition in wni h he does so much harm.
It he will not do this voluntarily, the mantgors
of the fcoutberu campaign owe it to their oa-y
and their country to enl ehten bs colored fi
lowers as to his recklessness and their danger,

Tbe Chicago Republican ol Monday night
my:
'The money market is still close and firm,
and applicants for loans aie more numerous
than the bankers are able or willing to accom
modate. The principal demand is from parties
wbo are dealing in grain, but there is also con
siderable mercantile paper In the market, which
Is closely scrutinized. Speculative paper is at
a heavy discount, and r-eeks the street for
negotiation, parties paying as high as 2 per
cent per month for money."
Tho Denton Post says:
"In tbe money market there are no great
changes to note. There are but few symptoms
ot greater ease, though the pressure of flrst-olass
paper for discount is hardly as great as It was.
its place, however, is tilled with that which is
not so well known, and which, in some
instances, stands exce"slve rates of interest
in the open market. The banks are
not, as a rule, disposed to touch
anything with the merits of which they are not
pretty well acquainted ; and, as the demand for
money on call is just now comparatively limi
ted, several of the leading institutions report a
gradual accumulation of idle currency, while
others differently situated are unable to meet
the wants of all regular customers known to be
in good business standing. Bank discounts
range all tbe way from 6J to 8 per cent, on
good double-name 1 mouths paper, with the
exceptions at P."
The New York 2iotme fhis morning says:
"Money continues easy on call at "6J87 per
cent. Commercial paper is without chance;
best passes at 79, and seeond grade at 104&12.
There is some enrrency comintr from the West,
and the turn of the market is towards greater
ease.
