Holland i 3 the proprietor of a’tavern in Front street, and has frequently been in Court on vari ous charges, but lias usually succeeded in escap ing, the injured parties being afraid to testify. Yesterday, however, the woman who had been beaten did testify and did describe the injuries she received. Holland was convicted, and was sen tenced to one year in the. county prison. This morning Wm. Clouse pleaded guilty to a charge of stealing coal, the property of the Read ing Railroad Company. . The whole mornlDg was occupied with the trial of five bills of indictments, in which a number of females were charged with assanlt and battery upon each'other. The parties are neighbors, in the vicinity of Twenty-fourth and Pine, and was a diulculty in regard ending in an attack and the five charges of assault and bat tery, coupled with a sixth charge against one of the partlee of selling liquor on a Sunday. One of the parties produced a stick which, she alleged, bad been used in the attack upon her: while an other produced a brick which, she alleged, had been thrown at her. The case is stiU on trial. A Cake ok Restitution.— Tie special meeting of the Westmoreland Gardeners' Lodge, No. 112 (Kendal), held on the loth of August, was sum moned lor rather a hovel purpose. It appears that some thirty-three years ago, when the lodge did not muster so numerously and was not so rich as at present, one of its members was in trusted with a sum of money, more than A'3o sterling, for the purpose of purchasing regalia. The man was young and poor, the temptation was strong, and neither man nor money was again heard of until last month, when a person of respectable appearance and gentlemanly de portment waited on the secretary and asked’ him to summon a special general meeting of the lodge. This was done, curiosity was excited, and a large meeting was the result. It then came out that the person of respectable appearance aud gentlemanly deportment was the missing “gar dener” of thirty-three years ago. who had come all the way from America to repav in person, with ample interest, the money which he had ap propriated in his poorer days. ; A Large Pono. —The Lvmington Chronicle says : Sowlcy I'ond, in the New Forest, where the monks of Beaulieu Abbey, situated close by, used to get their lish, covers uinety acres, aud is the largest pond in the country. It still affords abundance of fish, and is the favorite resort of the wild fowl. Not far from the pond is a road side inn, with the curious sign of the Forge Hammer. For centuries before coal was U6ed for smelting iron, Sowlcy was famous for forging iron by means of forest charcoal. The last forge was blown out in the last century. The Forge Hammer Inn is the only relic of the staple trade of Sowley. Beaulieu Abbey is now a seat of the Duke of Bnccleuch. Storting Items.—The English Sporting Gazelle says: The Duke oi Newcastle Is the hew steward at York In the place of Mr. W. G. Craven, whose term has expired.

PHILADELPHIA, FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 20, 1867. WASHINGTON POLITICAL GOSSIP. [Washington Correspondence of tbo N. Y. Tribune.] HegiNtration. The statement telegraphed to a Boston Johnson paper, to tho effect that Gen. Grant would issue an order at once extending registration in the Southern States until the ‘2nd of November is in correct. At least Gen. Grant disclaims any know ledge of having in contemplation any such or ders. He will not interfere with any of the mili lary commanders, not thinking it necessary, as the reconstruction act plainly seta forth that re gistration shall not be extended beyond the Ist of October. The limit of five days for revision of registration lists in Louisiana has endeef, and re gistration Is closed for good. There wore few additions to the lists. Some days ago a paragraph appeared in a-New York paper in relation to the endeavors of our Government to purchase-a naval station in the waters of the West Indies. This statement was incomplete in several particulars. The facts are that Secretary Seward had in view the purchase of one of three places: The Island of St. Tliomnß, belonging to Denmark; Samana Bay, in the Island of St. Domingo, and an island off Cuba, the property of Spain. The attempted purchase of Samana tailed, and when Mr. Bancroft left for his post at Berlin he was authorized to visit Madrid and endeavor to pur chase the island off the coast of Cuba. This also failed. He was then ordered to visit Denmark and negotiate for the purchase of St. Thomas. He sent Senator Doolittle to Denmark on the mission, and news has just reached here that he has failed also to accomplish a purchase. The Case of Fit/ John Porter! ti'rom tlie 'Washington Intelligencer, Sept It*.J This ease, which was submitted pro forma to General Grant, with the papers before the Execu tive, was yesterday under discussion upon the legal points involved in the case. Tho matter has been referred to tbc Attorney-General upon the question raised as to the power of the President to grant a new trial after sentence has been exe cuted in due form of law. It has been suggested id ollicial quarters that the matter be referred to a'couiniissioner to pike testimony, with a view of discovering if\sueh evidence be produced as w ould secure a hew. trial before a civil Court. As at present advised, the matter remains with the Attorney-General as above indicated. Judge Chaw and the Presidency. [Washington Correspondence 0 f the Boston Post,Bept. 18. J Chief Justice Chase seems determined to be President. He made a high bid to-day for the redical-vote. In alluding to the powers of Con gress over the question of reconstruction, he 6aid Congress possessed the entire power, including that of confiscation, and that, should there DC a slip up on the present reconstruction acts, he bad no doubt a law confiscating |3outhern pro perty would be passed. This is certainly a step lorward of the position occupied by the Chief Justice while holding his Circuit Court in the State of North Carolina. • Then he recognized the rights of the Southern States under the constitu tion. He now seems to be stealing Mr. Stevens’s thunder, and talks outside of the constitution about confiscation without trial and conviction, llr. Chase has evidently the inside track, and he is determined to hold it. The Senatorial Contest in California Duke Gwin a. Self-Constituted Can- didute. A letter received here, by a California politician indicates an intense rivalry in that State for the United States Senatorship’ among the memheys »f both parties. ‘ Duke’* Gwlu, oisDelieving the statement that the Republicans have a majority of two the legislature on joint ballot, sailed for San Francisco in the lust steamer, with the intention of being the Democratic candidate. Prominent members of the party say that even if they had a majority in the Legislature, Gwin would stand no chance. It seems to be set tled that CoDness, whose term expires in 1869, will not be returned. The opposition to him is said to be hitter and powerful. Congressman Bidwcll, who had been generally settled upon as the successor of Conness, has signified his un willingness to accept even if elected. He wanted lhe Governorship.and being disappointed in that, be is not disposed to take any other position. The contest for the Senatorial honors, it is said, will be between Messrs. Phelps and Sargent, tho former of whom was a candidate when Conness was elected. Phelps has been tlie leader of the auti-Conness faction in the State |eyer {since', and io him is attributed the defeat of the friends of Conness in tlie late election.—.V. }'. Timij. Horace Greeley. Under the title, “A Political Ishmael and Press Bully,” Mr. A. Oakey Hull, of New York, thus attacks Mr. Greeley, in the New York Herald of this morning. What the immediate cause of his virulence is, we do not know: ’ Horace Greelev is the bully of the press. Yet, like the bully of the public school, he does not relish being hit back. Mr. School Bully is al ways self-conscious of his own importance, aud must ever lay blows around on the small boys. But when they turn on him and “maul” him, Mr. School Bully runs to cover, and makes faces and lays sneak traps to get them into disfavor at headquarters. The tactics of Mr. Press Bully are similar to those of Mr. School Bully. Mr. P. B. (characters that would do to confer on H. G. as a Plebiscite degree) hits the little boys in the face, and stunds his ground with an appearance of bravado. He hits the big boys behind their backs, and runs to cover for grimaces. His cover is the Tribune office, where, surrounded by a little cordon ol “lickspittles’' (onr Manhattanese for the cockney phrase “toady”), he is by them “seb-boved,” like the mastiff' wlio barks best in his kennel. He la, therefore, it would seem, not only like the bully schoolboy, bnt the bully house dog. But let na keep to figure number-one. That is precisely the figure most liked by that press bully. Of late, public opinion has bpen placing “noughts” before it. H. G. is getting reduced to an infinitesimal decimal In nis own party. Bnt figure number one must be kept up nevertheless. So his portrait its advertised as a premium for Tribune subscribers; his speeches in tlie Convention (three per day, until he found that all the members’ ran away when he rose to whine, like a platitudinarian at a dinner table) are immensely reported in the Tribune, so are his Convention resolutions, that the tallies of votes fairly scorn and are never carried; and the centos, which the astute city editor suppresses, go into the Independent, while the “Recollections of a Busy Life,” that were first rejected by the shrewd manipulators of the Weekly Tribune because of their egotisms, go into the Ledger. Yesterday’s paper contained his “address” before three hundred people at the opening of the American Institute, and which (according to all the reports) was “im perfectly heard because of the noise made by the workmen in another part of th 6 building.” Dis respectful workmen! They are as bad as his fellow delegates in the Convention. The same paper also contained one of his vapid dead lotters that some waggish clerk of the Post Office has unearthed, and which was of no possible interest to anybody, and which letter, happily for the one to whom it was addressed, the latter never got. The Issue of the day before contained a card denying that It was H. G.’s colored Calico’ that Secretary McCulloch,was trying to wash. It Is that latter “card” which really furnishes the text to this article. It how the bully of the press shrinks from blows—from the very kind ot foul blows that ho is constantly giving. HU paper had charged Thurlow Weed with being responsible for the Callcott (or calico) la question. Every shrewd politician knew at once how laughably absurd tiffs was. Mr. Weed re torted, in substance, that when Callicott was last heard of it was as poor Greeley's protlge. Where fore, the Bully of the Press hits thus in the very “breadbasket,” blubbering out a card from which the following is an oxtract: VI do not know how to deal with su6h calumnies according to the re ceived code. My way 'would he testate the simple truth that all these imputations ere baseless,' and their authors immeasurable liars." In getting thus excited the Bully of the Press OUR WHOLE COUNTRY. forgot that it was he who gave the first foul blow. If tlierewah any “immeasurable" (a good mathematical adjective for such a Tribune, noun) ‘lie about those premises of the press, it con sisted in charging Thurlow Weed, who was always an anti-Cailicott man, with befriending him. And it was not extravagant to suppose Greeley, who had befriended the Oallicott when he was in Albany in distress, had again “signed his papers. But the Bully got hit,and he iled to cover to call names and make faces. There was no logic intended to be put Into tlie Johnsonian proposition that “he who kills fat oxen should himself be fat.” But there is a world of logic in Qie idea that he who fights must ex pcct to be fought with, and to be fought against with the same weapons that he uses, anu if he gives foul blows to have them paid back, , There lore the editor who prowls arohnd ■ the jnßglcs of. personality must clothe himself in the hide of the rhinoceros, and not in 'the shivering and sensi tive skin of the antelope. As a general thing five-sixths of the boys, big or little, whom the Bully of the Press hits, have Lad.their cuticles hardened by a hundred pitched public battles, and many of them not only do not care for the wild blows aud cowardly grimaces of Mr.Bully.bnt fas Pat did at Donnybrook Fair) hit the head of their adversary a strong crack wherever it appears, and are glad to have a bit of interlocutory notoriety with the political Ishmael of 18C7, whose hand having been against every bodv, has come to have everybody’s hand against him. It is the head of tlie antelope they hip It is sensitive. Below it is a thin skin. It is a skin that, like one softened by asses’ milk, feels the touch of a mosquito, hvery day develops the extreme sensitiveness of this self-conscious apd egotistical Bully of the Press. Let, therefore, the big boys and the little boys of the press and the political arena pitch into him. Bleed him. Excoriate lira. Stiug him. Annoy him. It Is lilting and prosaically, as well as poetically just, that Bully Greeley, who for twenty years has aimed the foulest of blows at all the athletes of the republic, from President down to an obscure country curate, should receive in return an unin termitted pummelling ; lor, is it not half the pleasure of a prize-fight, to hear the falling anta gonist “hoUar," although liis seconds are too proud to throw up the sponge? DEATH OF THE BRITISH MINISTER, Boston, Sept. 19—From the time of Senator Sumner’s arrival at the Summit House nt 11 o'clock until the death of Sir Frederick, he was able to utter hut a single articulate sentence, and that- was in recognition of Mr. Sumner an hour and a half after his arrival. He was able to get np, but the nature of his disease prevented him from speaking. Senator Sumner made every possible exertion to understand the utterances of the dying man, and get his last messages for the British Legation at Washington and for his family; but in vain. The voice refused to discharge its" wonted office, and nothing could he gleaned of the last thoughts that crowded npon his mind. He was only able to give monosj’llabie answers to ques tions in regard to his condition, and to utter with a great effort a brief greeting when he recognized Mr. Sumner. Immediately after the' death of Sir Frederick the remains were packed in ice, and, under the charge of his servant, remained in room No. 14 df the Tremont House, until eight o’clock this «iimi uitM- were taken In ena.ge ov an undertaker and embalmed. A representative of the British Legation will arrive m Boston from Washington to-morrow afternoon, and arrange for the forwarding home of the remains by the first steamer. Sir Frederick Bruce never married, preferring, probably, the freedom and pleasures of bachelor hood to the domestic happiness of a married life. He was a perfect specimen of an Englishman, all oi hie manners and habits aDd the routine of his life being essentially British. He lived in excellent style in Washington, was very hospitable to his acquaintances and friends, whom he frequently entertained at his well-spread table,and was noted for that love of horses which has almost become a passion with Englishmen. To the public in general the deceased wore that stiff and lormal appearance which characterizes the class of , his countrymen to which he belonged, but in private life he isEaid to have bten very social, conversational and enter taining. He always expressed great admiration and friendship for the United States, and it was principally the knowledge of this feeling which occasicued his appointment as Minister to Wash ington. The only one of our institutions he ob jected to was the railroad regulation which pro hibited a gentleman entering certain cars unless accompanied by a lady. As the deceased Minister usuailydesired to ride in other ears than those tilled with smokers and tobaeco-ebewerar when ever ho '.ra veled he was under the ludicrous neces sity of taking his cook with him, as a means of obtainiig admittance to the ladies’ car. Some weeks ago Sir Frederick accompanied Sir. Sevard and other gentlemen to Auburn, where they poßsed several days in Asking and other pleasures. At that time he was apparently in good kmltb, and the disease which carried him oil' must have attacked him in a very sudden and unexpeeted manner. He was a comparatively young man, being but a few months over fifty three yiars of age. His death will be sincerely regrettol by the governments of Great Britain and the United Btates, by the Diplomatic Corpß in WaslingtOß, and by his acquaintances gene rally. The disease of which Sir Frederick Bruce died yvas.dphthcria NewlYokk, Sept. 20. —Yesterday afternoon so cial niil business circles throughout the city were slocked by the announcement that A. T. Stewart Esq., of this city, had died in Paris. The ntnor was current in Wall street, and was atmouiped, at the meeting of the Chamber of Comrmrce on the authority of a cable despatch. But on inquiring at both of Mr. Stewart’s estab fistunats, it was found that nothing had been receh'id to that effect; but at last account bv mail Mr. Stewart was in good health, and ex pecthg to leave'for New York by to-morrow’s steaner. The rumor is said to have originated in he gold-room. The report spread very rapily. In the upper part of the city several flagiwere flying at half-mast.

FROM NEW YORK. Pp.UPOßclj setting fire to a bed in the hotel No 106 V tsey street. NEWARK, A Startling Record. A counterfeiter named Edward Williams was arrested at his house, in * Now Egypt, • Ocean county, N. J., by United States Detective Nettle ship, on Ssturday. The career of the man is at once startling and strange. The day previous to the trial of Charles Dobbins, in the United States District Court at Trenton, during last July, for alleged “shoving" of counterfeit money, Williams sought Detective Nettleship and volunteered to become a witness agninßt Dobbtnß. The detective', believing that the man wag endeavoring to make his escape froth the consequences, of his own evil doings, declined his services. The detective then set himself at work to gain evidence againßt Williams He learned that Williams intended to visit a Methodist camp meeting at Pointviile, Cumberland county, and a decoy was accordingly sent to that place, with instructions to gain the confidence of the sus pected counterfeiter. Williams wns fonnd in all his glory at the camp meeting, shouting with the brothers and praying with tho sisters, and apparently joining with his wholo soul in all the religions exercises. He had his own tent on the ground, in which he em ployed himself during intervals at taking photo graphs. , The decoy soon became his “pal," and finally bought of YVilliams *9O worth of counter feit money. This transaction placed Williams in the desired position, but ho was allowed to run loose for a while, it being feared that his ar rest might interfere with the urrest of other parties. Finally, all was right, and Williams was arrested at New Egypt.- whither he had gone after the /adjournment of the camp meeting, taken to Newark and safely lodged in jail. The affair was not allowed to be made however, until yesterday. A search of Williams's residence resulted in "the discovery of his commission as a spy in the Confederate ser vice,and permission from several leading geucralß allowing him to take photographs within oar lines. In this way it is supposed that he gained information and conveyed it to Richmond.- He manifested much surprise upon being arrested, but when informed that enough evidence to con vict him had been obtained, he “acknowledged the corn.” A. Oakev Ham. Reception of ttae Gcneral-at Columbus, Ohio—ue Reclines to Make a Spcecli —Levee at ttae State House. Colc.miius, Ohio, Sept. 19, 1667,— General Sheridan arrived hero from Cincinnati on the train at eleven o'clock.this morning on the way to New York and Washington. lie was received at. the depot by a committee of reception, headed by General D. W. H. Day, of this city. An open chariot was in waiting, and a brass band in a wagon preceded him in procession to the Neil House, where a large "concourse of citizens awaited him. He was welcomed at tho hotel by a salute of thirteen guns. Loud calls for the General brought him to the window of the par lor. Sheridan bowed to the crowd and said: Gentlemen: I um obliged to you for this kind reception. I cannot make a speech,but my friend Mr. Duy, can make a first rate one. Gen. Day then stepped forward and said: You are assembled to welcome one of Ohio’s • noblest sons, Phil. Sheridan. It may be easy to ana a ovuit uuhu. mnu oucnuiiu. uut uu oCiiie ment of mine is necessary to convince you that it is very hard to find a better fighter. This is an auspicious day to meet him here. Four years ngo to-day the battle of Chickamaugawasfonght, and, though we nearly failed to beat the rebel lion there, we knew that wc had another Ohio soldier there—General Rosecrans—and that PhU. Sheridan was ready to do his duty. Three years ago to-day we fought the battle of Winchester, and Sheridan curried the banner of the republic aloft amid a storm of bullets. Every Ohio soldier has a right to participate in this re ception. It is no political gathering. I see democrats as well as republicans in this crowd, to do honor to a brave Ohio soldier, who has fought well in his country’s cause. Governor Cox then invited General Sheridan to visit the State House, where he held a leveo for about ball a hour in the rotunda. Manv old soldiers took him by the hand, stating that they had followed his truck in the Shenandoah valley. Several negroes ulso paid their respects to him. The General dined in the Neil House and took his departure by tbc next train for New York The ovation was entirely spontaneous. Flags floated from all the hotels and public buildings. Welcome to General Sheridan at Pitts- burgh. Pitts nun gh, Sept. 19.—Gen. Bheridan passed through this city this evening, on his way for the East. He was received at the depot by a large number of citizens. Fireworks were sent off during the few minutes he was detained here. He left in the 1U.30 P. M. train. There ia a rigorous agitation in Kansas at this moment for the extension of the right of snffrage, irrespective of raco, color or sex. Several of the prominent men in the State, including most of the Members of Congress, not only favor the measure, hut are lending their influence and voices to its support. Sirs. Stanton and Miss Anthony, of Now York, and the Rev. Olympia Brown, and the Hutchinson Singers, fronj Massa chusetts, are ardong the forces now acting directly for it, holding conventions and giving lectures in every part of the State. A crowded Convention was held last week in Lawrence, at which Miss Anthony and Mrs. Stanton gave ad dresses that, all the papers comment on for ability in the very highest terms. The Lawrence Juumul says of the evening session : ‘‘The hall was crowded to its utmost capacity by the moral, intelligent elite of the city, of both sexes. Mrs. Stanton's address was a most pow erful argumont in favor of Equal Rights, limited by no race or box.' As a specimen of classic elo quence, tine oratory, [ and elegant diction, we have no hesitation in saying that It was the finest speech ever delivered in tills city by man or woman. In saying this} we are aware that Mr. Seward spoke here In his palmiest days, and Gen. Lane, one of the beßt popular speakers that ever addressed a Western uudicnee, was heard here frequency; and that Theodore Tilton, the brilliant editor of the Independent, has thrilled us with his power; and yet, notlessln word-paint ing than in richly developed thought, Mrs. Stan ton last evening surpassed them all.” Tbe Germans In the West and tbe Re. publican Party-Letter from Gen. L'arl Schurz. A special despatch from Madison, Wls., says that “Gen. Carl Schutz, of St. Louis, haß written a letter to Mr. Rublec, of tho Madison State Journal, in response to an inquiry whether a recently-published statement that he advised the Germans to bid farewell to the Republican party in State and local elections, while standing Una in national elections. He denies having given any such advice, and maintains that the groat issue now before the country U that of reconstruction, which can only be solved successfully bv the Re publican Party, which must be heartily sustained and kept efficient. He protests, however, against attempts to use the Republican organization to inflict on the community arbitrary legislation, en croaching on Individual rights in connection with and Sunday questions; but he hopes that tho German Republicans, while resolutely defending tho cause of individual liberty, when the Issue actually comes up, will not be frightened by the cry of wolf when there is no danger* and fall Into the traps set for them by the Copper heads. He warmly Commends the language of the Wisconsin Republican platform, and strongly urges the Germans of ; Wisconsin heartily to sup port it and the candidates nominated thercou.
