EVENING BULLETIN.
Tuesday, December 10, 1867,
TIM ;UNION LEAGUE AND GENERAL
--- - -
GRANT.
The Union League held its annual meeting
last night, and the handsome club-house
was crowded with the largest assemblage of
its members ever convened for the transac
tion of business. It was an interesting study
to look over the crowd of 'faces floating the
President's stand, and to note the repre
sentative character of the men who form
that powerful organization, the Union League
of Philadelphia. It was emphatically an
assemblage of the solid:men of the city.
Merchants, judges, lawyers, soldiers, manu
facturers, physicians, artists, bankers,
capitalists, the gray-headed Nestors of the
community, and the active, energetic young
men who are tbe bone and sinew of the
present generation, public men and private
citizens, the best types of the enterprise, the
intelligence, ,the pittflotirmi, the public spirit;-'
the moral p6Wer of Philadelphia.
Tidi assemblage was brought together for
the transaction of the annual business of the
League, to hear the report of, the Board of
Directors and to elect its officers for the en
suing year. It was generallz understood
that some action would be taken by the
League in reference to the nomination of
General Graiit for the Presidency. and to this
fact was to be attributed the unusually large
attendance of the members. It was not
thought proper for the Board of Directors
to do more than to make a suggestion in the
direction of a ' nomination of General
Grant, and 0:IV - Report, which will be found
in anotheLeMatrat, concludes with this well
expressed feference to the subject:
"Who doubts that with our time-honored
principles, sanctified, as they have been by the
blood of our people—again and again approved,
as they have been, In the seclusion of the moral
ist's study, amidst the jar and passion of gen
eral elections, and by the calmer philosophical
verdict of our watchful friends abroad—who
doubts that we shall once more Ism trium
phantly from the contest? In that trust we
shall continue, following, as perhaps we may, to
new victories the leader chosen by our martyred
President—die champion of our faith in the
embattled-field—the administrator of our policy
whether at the head of the army or iu t3u fin
friendly and suspicious cabinet—the Sagacious
citizen who is too discreet to Waste time in an
-ocrlintitta %ad popularity with
idle protestations—the magaanimons comrade,
.ylio can be eloquent behalf of
ompanions in arms, but is silent for himself
either to flattery or detraction—the conque
ror in a hundred battle4telds, the proportions of
which stagger the belief of foreign military
critics—the persevering commander, who strug
gled with rebellion until it lay lifeless at his feet,
and who with his own hand gave us victory and
peace together—the illustrious chief whose whole
grand`history has been one undoubted record of
his fidelity to our cause and of his willingness to
staler or to die for it—the beloved, the trusted,
the simple-hearted, the faithful Grant!"
The reception which this sentiment met
with leaves no room to doubt as to the strength
of the current which has set in, in favor
of the nomination of General Grant as the
Republican candidate for the Presidency.
The storm of applause which followed the
conchadon of the report, the overwhelm
ing votes by which the parliamentary
tactics of a very small minority of discon
tented individuals were swept out of the ,WaY,
the enthusiastic cheers whickgreeted the
adoption of Mr. Gibbons' formal nomination
. of General Grant, all settled the question of
p -the popular feeling in favor of the movement.
The Union League of Philadelphia is a tho
roughly representative body, and through its
action last night spoke the great heart of the
Union Republican party of Pennsylvania.
The people took up and followed
Abraham Lincoln with that un
questioning instinct that draws the popular
heart toward pure, honest, true and truly
great men, and there was, in the demonstra
tion at the Union League last night, the same
spontaneous outburst of confidence toward
General Grant. The heart of the American
people beats in unison with his heart, and it
is impossible that he who thus draws to him
self the people's trust, can be other than a
trustworthy man. The Union League has
taken its proper position in the fore-front of
this great movement, and the echo of its
weil.known voice will come back from all
quarters of the land with such a unanimous
response as will make the duty of the
National Republican Convention one of mere
form.
THE FOURTH WARD.
The evidence in the contested election
case that is now before the Court of Com
mon Pleas reveals a condition of things that
is calculated to excite feelings of disgust and
dismay in the breast of every honest man
and patriotic citizen. Mr. Minn, the coun
sel for the contestants, yesterday Aowed that
the Fourth Ward made less material pro
gress than any other Ward of the city,
while in an inverse ratio the number of
voters in the Ward is constantly increasing.
De show ed to the Court that the Denlocratic
vote in one divirion had increased every
year, from ;165 in 1854 to 525 in IN7. During
the same yeti's the vote against the Demo
crats had varied very little, being 133 in IgrA,
and 130 in 1867, In 1864 the whole vote oldie
division was 2:18; in 11367 it was returned as
655—a1l the increase being on the Demo
cratic side. During the same time the num
ber of new dWellings erected in the same
division was only eleven. Thus, while enter
prise, industry, iutelgence and capital
are causing the city to expand,
the good Miens who arc Making their mark
upon the ge and doing their share towards
pushing .
,c, city forward to metropolitan
greatness and . importance, have their votes
nullified End their enterprises damaged by
the bold, bad men who manage the elections
in the Fourth Ward. Yestelday, a fellow
named Madden, the judge ofpthia model di
vision at the last election, admitted to the
Court Thal/ he could nut read !,: ,Tiiii same
man, at the direction' of Aklerinan William
- McMullin, (a l th e day of theiWetion, took
as ay *Eau its proper custodian the lint of
jegiii v4erk and to preVOZIA ita being rifled he
sat on it all day! A.. similar , list ins
the hands of a Republican WindOW-11111;
was taken away from him by . _force,
_force and he
received • a very Plain intimation of the per-,
- renal violence' he might 'look for if he at
tempted to exercise his unquestiOnable right to
challenge illegal votes. Consequently votes - ,
were taken without regard to the legal riglits
o the voters. Such a record as this is enough
to make the'heart of the patriotic citizen sink
in dismay, and yet the notorious scOundrels
who engineer all this scoundrel= hold
public office and associate openly and freely
with men whose education and social posi
tion should • prompt them to -despise and
spurn the company of ruffians and , ballot-box
stuffers.
Mr. William B. Reed is one of the counsel
for the defendants in this suit. It is _em
inently proper that he should be so. He was
an old Whig, and he left a party of un
doubted patriotism to join the ultra wing of a
faction that was in open and undisguised
sympathy, with treason and rebellion. As
District Attorney he arrested the entire Key
stone Club as a peblic nuisance, and he after
warda became one of the most prominent
champions of the organization. A number
of years ago this same "Fourth Ward crowd"
cheated bilk out of his election as District
Attorney, and now, with that rare consistency
in perversity that has characterized him since
he went over to Ilachanarism and a Shinese
mission, he is found excusing4he rascalities
and defending the rascals who fourteen years
ago made Horn R. Kneass District Attorney
notwithstanding the fact That William B.
Reed had received the largest nuMber of votes.
THE NOMINATIONS:
Two nominations of great national import
ance were made in Philadelphia last night.
Ulysses S. Grant was nominated by the
Union League for President of the United
States, and Wilson C. Swann was nominated
by the Constitutional Union Association for
Mayor a Philadelphia. General Grant has
not yet been heard from, but Dr. Swann has.
In fact the latter gentleman presided over his
own nomination, and was, of course, ready
to respond. " It will be gratifying to the com
munity to know that Maryland• need not be
permitted to monopolize the privileges of
living under the dynasty of the Swanns. We ,
too, may have a Swann ? not, perhaps, to
govern the State arid litre - sir the militia,
but at least to grace our civic occasions,
and to review our well-disciplined ,police-
The prespeCt of Dr. Swami for Mayor lojery„
encouraging. The National Constitutionfil
Conservative Union Johnson Bread and
Butter party has not only nominated Wilson
C.-Swann for Mayor, but it has pledged him
its "undivided support!" If the Democratic
or the Republican party, will now take up
Dr. Swaim, or, still better, if they will both
do so, who knows but that he might be
elected ? It must not be understood, how
ever, that this patriotic gentleman-is posi
tively pledged to accept the office. In fact,
he stated to his enthusiastic adherents that he
did not "actually aspire" to it. It is lizilso
inferred that he only aspires to it apultively,
or resthetically,or in some other peculiar way.
But lest this qualified phrase should strike
dismay into the hearts of the National Con
stitutional Conservative Johnson Bread and
Butter party he hastens to reassure them.
He may be willing to sacrifice himself for
them yet. "Ile would not say that he would
not accept the position of municipal standard
bearer of the organization." /o! /o! Pcgan!
Grant for President, and Swarm for Muni
cipal Standard Bearer !
THE LINCOLN MONUMENT.
• The acknowledgments made by the Treas
urer of the Lincoln Monument Association,
which will be found in another column, pre
sent a very gratifying exhibit of the condi
tion of that fund. Several of the Ward Com
mittees have made their final reports, and
the Treasurer now reports $ : 23,686 21 in
hand. This fund is well invested, arid would
realize fully $25,000 if converted at this time.
The Association has no expenses, and there
is, therefore, none of that leakage to which
such funds are usually liable. There are still
many small funds remaining in various
hands, contributed fin: patriotic purposes,
during the war, 'and not expended, which
can scarcely be better disposed of than 'by
devoting them to the purposes of
the Lincoln Monument Association.
In the course of a few ,months the Associa
tion will probably decide upon the design for
the monument, and the scale upon which it
is executed will of necessity depend upon
the size of the fund. There should be no
difficulty in increasing it to double its present
amount, thereby insuring such a testimonial
to the memory of Abraham .Lincoln as it
deserves at the hands of loyal Philadelphia.
Senator Chandler yesterday called up his
resolution providing for the recognition of
Abyssinia as a belligerent power, in her com
ing contest with England, and advocated it
in a rather intense speeeh. Without doubt
Englans deserves nothing better at out
bands tglin that we should retaliate upon her
ut the first opportunity, and repay her in
kind, for the outrages which were committed
under the very eyes of her officials, against
nternational law, and the good faith which
existed between this country and Great Bri
tain. Moreover, while, in view of the tact
that we have come triumphantly
out of our intestine difficulties, and
sob -- in a position to enforce our
claims for damages, she has admitted the
justice of those claims, her ministers have
qnibbled over trifles, and thrown a multitude
of obstacles in the way of payment, until it
really appears impossible to obtain any satis
factory settlement. But we do expect to.
press this matter to a definite conclusion, and
repay American ship-owners for the losses in
flicted by the Alabama and other pirate ves
sels. Under these circumstances, admitting
Senator Chandler's sincerity, Would it not
be extremely unwise, as Senator Johnson sug
gested, virtually to relinquish our claims upon
Great Britain, and admit their injustice, by
doing precisely the thing, upon the illegality
of which we base these claims? We leave
out of the question the fact tine, King Theo
dore is a brutal savage, whose capture or
overthrow at the, hands-:of any civilized
poter, wouldhe a blessing to humanity. It
would be criminal in this sense to give hint
illy moral or material support; but it would
be even ridiculous to abandon a principle for
which we, have contended for yews, for the
fluke of the petty and childish revenge for
which fiematdor Chandier Rooms to thirst.

in philadelphia at the Chestnut
,Street 'Thea
tre in the tragedy of Afeiira, by Griliparzer.
This is different from the Italian and the
! English dramas of the same title, and the
rmance in it of Mlle. danauscheXis de
f ed as Magnificent.. Bhe be sup ,
porthfi by an excellent company. In the
course of the week she will also appear in
the dramas of Aclricruze Leeouereur, De
borah, Egmont, Emilia Galotti and Ara
rianna.
The Italian Opera Season, which is to
begin next Monday at the Academy of Music,
will be welcomed by the lovers of music.
Mme. Lagrange has not sung here tor 'years,
but her superb vocalization cannot be im
paired, and she still delights those who
appreciate line dramatic talent and good
style. The other artists are all popular, and
the season promises to be an entire success.
The sale of seats, as advertised, will begin
to-morrow at the Academy,
Captain Benjamin MeMakin.
Few Philadelphians are better known among
their,townemen than Captain Benjamin Mega
kin, who died yesterday afternoon after a severe
attack of pneumonia. Captain McMakin was in
his sixty-third year at the period of his death. A
large portion of his life was spent upon the Del
aware river. As a boy ho was constantly cm•
ployed in aquatic pursuits and amusements, and
in his early manhood he was engaged as a
steamtmat pilot at a. period when eteamboating
was in its infancy. In 1849 he became the
owner and captain of the popular steamboat
Edwin Forrest, which plied between this city
and Trenttm, and he without doubtcarrled safely
more passengers than any other steamboat cap
tain who ever navigated the Delaware. Ho was
a man of great energy and decision ofcharacter,
and he was always equal to the enArgencies
which constantly arise in the prosecution of a
business like that in 'which he *as engaged.
Captain MeMakin was also interested with his
brother Joseph in the proprietorship of the At
lantic Hotel at. Capeeland. Mr. Andrew Mc-
Makin, of the old Sidi 'day Courier, is another
brother of the deceased. ' •

Cady Stanton, Snow Susan B. Antiwar
and George Wrench' Train.
Bos-rox, Dec. 9.—.1t is evident' that the com
munity here is not so vitally interested is the
question of woman suffrage as. in that of negro
enfranchisement, and it is for this reason that
the audience to hear George F'ranels Train,
Elizabeth Cady Stanton and Susan B. Anthony
failed , to more than half fill the Music Hall this
evening. Train, who did most of the talking,
was unusually singular and particularly
rtmarkable for keeping as far from at
anion to the purpose of the meeting
as possible. After giving a pretty full biography
of himself, he did, however, abase Greeley,
Beecher, Phillips; Garrison, Ross and Pomeroy
for deserting the cause of women when it most
needed support. Ho was followed by Mrs.
Stanton, who also charged these same men with
acting the part of traitors to their cause, being
particularly severe upon Mr. 'Greeley for present
ing what she termed his "infamous report" •in
the late Constitutional Convention in Albany,
and for Ills expressing the opinion that
negro suffrage is more important now than
suffrage for woman. She was also , down
on the whole Republican party for its treachery,
and very eloquent in her terms of praise of the
Democrats for their efforts in behalf of - the op
pressed women. Miss Anthony followed after
half an hour's Introduction by Train, and made
very concise and forcible appeal in betua of
the right of suffrage for her sex. Train also
spoke again, his - remarks being confined chiefly
to personal reminiscences, denunciations of
Minister Adams for allowing the late Fenian
executions without protest, and abuse of the
Boston newspapers for not siding and sympa
thizing in this movement in behalf of women.—

at all fish - could go to the benefit of the defendant, and the
question bo slimmed.

Mr. Dwight objected to this question. as the issue was
whether the defendant was responsible:at present there
had been nothing to show to whom the Commenweatth
alleges that the article refers.
Mr. Brown contended that if the juror:rat the time ho
read the article concluded that it referred to any parti
cular ...person. he would be an improper juror.
Mr. Brewster urged that on a challenge the counsel had
no right to enter into all the details of the ease. In a case

altriDEILll.
(Special Deno& to the I'MladelPhle Beanies Bulletin.]
WASHINGTON, Dec. Io.—At the present time
there exists a feeling among a great many lead
ing Republicans here that the Freedmen's Bureau
can safely be abolished without placing the lives of
the freedmen.in Jeopardy throughout the South.
With a view to ascertain whether• this would
meet with the approbation of the leading loyal
ists in the Southern States, Mr. T. D. Eliot,
Chairmat►.ef the House Committee of Freedmen's
!Xebec has been ' . in extensive corrcapondenee
with parties in nearly all the lately rebellious
States, and the result is tat the opinion Is
almost unanimous in aver of continuing the
Bureau. Many of these letters do not hesitate to
say that such a move now would effectaally de
feat reconstruction in many States; as it Is only
by knowing that officers of the Government
stand ready to protect them if any outrage
is offered, that many blacks and whites who stood
loyal throughout the rebellion, and who arc
members 'of the Conventions to frame new
Constitutions, dare to attend the Conventions.
In view of all the facts, it seems ,probable that
hen the Committee report to the House they
will recommend the continuance of the Bureau
until after all the Southern States are admitted
to representation In Congress.

. [Flom the N. Y. Times of to-day.]
The brief announcement' in yesterday's Times,
by , Captain Edmondson, of the Cunard steam
ship Hecht, that "at 7.30 A. M., December Bth. in
latitude 40 deg. 4 min., longitude "."2 deg. 46 min.
west, left the ship Sacramento, of Boston with
main mast gone and jury mizzen-mast rigged,
heading sonthwest,wind northwest,fresh gale:had
;good by her 32 hours, having her in tow three
ti
times, ropes parting each me—conveys but
a very Imperfect idea of -the terrible work of
those hours. The facts as related by a passenger
on board the Recta are these: Shortly after
midnight, Friday, when about twenty-five miles
from Sandy Hook, Mr. McKay, the chief officer °
of the Heck, observed a large vessel with main
and mizzen masts gone, showing signals of dis
tress. The steamer at once bare down toward
her, and though at the time the wind was blow
ing a perfect gale and the sea running high,
the captain ordered ,the . boat lowered and
manned o the- chief officer being in command;
while the wind howled madly, some of the pas
sengers stood on deck and watched , the boat as
it left the steamer and approached the tempeat
tosstd and unmanageabittshith To a landsman
like our informant .:the sight was terrific, and
one not to be easily :described. The' nervous
watching, the constant straining ,of the eye, to
the endeavor to follow the fortunes of the boat,
and the effort to scan.its light as it mounted on
the top of the waves, was • the source of so much
excitement that the coldness of the weather, with
its biting severity, was all but forgotten. At last
the cy us of all woe gladdened when the boat was
observed near to the side of the rolling ship.
The boat's crew labored at the oar with'com men
(table gallantry, and upon learning that the crafi
in was the Srieramento or BOston, In bal
last, proceeded ilith their- work of trying to save
'he ship, and. if possible,briug her Into port. The
ehu f officer advised the qaptain . of the SAcr.i
na nto to cast anchor just where he was to pre
vent his drifting, as there was only fifteen
fathoms of Water at that noint. Owing to tip ,
storm be could not bear the response frown on
board the ship, but took It for granted that they
would follow his advice. He' then returned to
the steamer, and. Immediate, preparations were
wade to render further assistance as soon as day
light would facilitate movements. All night tb •
Hecla laid by the Sacramento, and before dawn
the Captain had sent the boab off again owlet
command of Mr. Pearson, the third officer, to try
aid get a line from, the ship, and to makti:a tow.
After many unsuccessful attempts icy ob-
Asined the end of. a small line, and brought
it to the steamer. The les inch hawser was
stencil tte,this line, and it was sent to the ship.
The Veda *hen began to make her way with, the

half an loner, " however, owing to, the, heavy,
laboring of the ItoperilM vessel, andlhe tremen

Marine Disaster.
==l
Notwithwandir c these discouragementa, Capt.
Edmunds - on expressed his determination to stand
by the Sacramento as long as, there was a vestige
of hope.remanting. There was no sbatenneat
,whatever of , the storm, and nothing but Oman
inmperable ditto:thy presented itself, brit the,
Captain of the Heels took his steamer round and :
round the disabled ship several times. The
Captain then requested the ship's crew ..to send
the end, of their cable on board the steamer.
At that moment the excitement among
the passengers' on , board the Hecia was intense,
but it was an excitement not of panic, but of
sympathy for the crews of both vessels. Every
eye was watching the laboring vessel as she
''pttcbed and rolled so heavily. It was terrible to
witness the unwieldy movements of so immense
a body—the more especially as they desired to
get, ear it, and yet dared not make too close an
amproach.'
It was under these circumstances that an inci
dent oceurred at we alarming and ludicrous. ,
The ladies in the cabin were somewhat alarmed.
with the Most amazing velocity at which the
running sea carried the Sacramento along, but
they were * more astonished, at the speed with
which the lady of Dr. B. flew across a young
Irishman and an old Scotehman;who were sitting
in "the saloon at the time, when she saw the unfor
tunate ship coming, as it were, right over the
Hecht. It was at this critical moment that the
Abeam of' the ship swept over the stern of the
Becht, and making a severe lurch, came down
with her martingale right over the wheelhouse,
and with the martingale chain cut it in two, the
men at the wheel having a verry narrow escape
with their lives. The force of this lurch was so
great that a hole was made in the steamer's deck
and cut the wheelhouse through, at the same
time sweeping in its career the high tripod
compass, the flagstaff and' the stern rail.
At length two hawsers were again got on
board the ship, making her fast to the Heels,
and the was once more taken in tow, the
steamer making only speed enough to prevent
her drifting more out of the proper course; barely,
however, holding their way against the wind and
sea. This time the tow was prolonged for hours,
away into the night (Sunday), but as before, the
hawsers parted. Then it was deemed kn.-
posaible to succeed, and it was agreed be
tween the two Captains that he of the Heels
should, upon arriving in port, report the else, so
that steamers might be sent out to the relief of
the Sacramento. The Captain, his officers and
crew all arrived here thoroughly hoarse with
shouting and extraordinary exposure to the ele
ments. They all behaved well. The passengers
also engaged themselves with a vigor and an
energy most creditable.
