not yet let their readers*U4amMtt of the:
objeeta of the meeting tiCithe4muurittne, we
ban only conjectureihat **Ma, Pint aitei-
At its last meeting it passed a resolution re
quiring the " written pledge" of the electors
appointed at the Reading Convention, that
they would- faithfully-uarry out the commit
tee's pro4ect of nullify ing,-the, nomination of
Judgertibuniiii and GriS4ernorVemssett, and of
turnhwthe':vote?:of.T.Pentnylvania - over':to
Bareirmamos and Lute '
-or BELL and EVE
its7, or some unnamed candidates. If they
carrylent 'at their 'meeting on the 9th inst.
their programme - - or the 2d of duly, they will
strike flroirt - the 'electoral ticket the names of
all who hive' net earied ttLittitlifally piny out
their Phtleit, Which we learn Is nearly one-,,
half of ,the whole number.
' Ten of the electors, it is said, have written
to , Maumnax,-„utterlyt,repudiating .the
whole, fusion scheme of the, committee, an&
expressing their determination to vote, if
elected, fel Deuttair and' Jammosr; and for no
others;' While .it 'abont an equal num
ber have
,Written to, • ',Mawr, , expressing
thidi,willingtmie to adopt tke fusion scheme—
ointhat he will vote for Iluroauntroeu
Lann,,only, and will not vote for Downes and
Jnasson at OW &pillion:to five or six write so
equivocally that even Mr..Wmen cannot tell
exactly what they mean to do—perhaps they
intend to vote for LLEOOIN and Maxim, under
the - VeVing commission of the'committee, if
their votes will, elect them. After the action
joy' the committee of, the. 2d July, with these
responses before them, if Mr. Werzu shall lay
them before the committee, we do not see how
he - and fliendann the committee can do other
wise, than purge the electoral ticket of all the
refractory' members. ' But will they do it?
Their friends say they are too weak in the
knees and dare not do it. Rumor says they
Will not; bit will nullity their action of the 2d
July, aid "adept the electoral ticket, with all
in different pledges,, as. it now stands; that
they - will-no t accept , the challenge or recom
mendation of tits Harrisburg Masts Convention
'of the friends of Doetmai sadden:now to sub
mit the whole matter to Iluew Convention of
the Democracy'oT the State, nor even call the
Reading 'Convention together.'
" If such ishaltbe the deCision of Hi. Warms
and -his party, we, presume • there will be no
difficulty in knowing:what will be done by that
portion, of the committee-who remain true to
the party and its ,nominations and platforms,
and are disposed to carry out faithfully the
objectei of their 'appointment. These duties
hare beerrlcleirly 'defined by all the State
&inventions:held in the State, and' plainly
Stated by the 'mass beniention that met at
Harrisburg on, the 29th of July. - They will
Proceed to -ascertain,who of .the electors no
minated
at Reading 'will pledge .themselves to
vote , for the 'nominees of the National Con-
Vention, DOUGLAS and Jonximx ; and if any
refuse, or decline to answer affirmatively, they
hill proceed - to supply their place. by good
sail tree itrien,:and take such measures as shall
seem :beat palMilated, to insure the success of
the ticket so completed.
This hi the only course left , to,be pursued.
The State Committee has no other- than min
isterial duties -to, perform, and these are to
marry - out the objects of the Reading Conven
tion.. That - Convention selected fifty-four
_delegate. te the+ National Conventionat Charles
ton, and twenty seven electors, to vote for
the _nominees of; that ,National Convention.
The.eflity-fonr,delegates went to Charleston,
,anclthence to Baltimore, and acted from first
to- last.-with : the' National :Convention that
bomiretted Cortex*. and Jonason--forty-five
of them voting on the last 'vote given in the
Convention, and the whole fifty-four, or nearly
all of them, were - present When the Convert.
tiOn'irianiMonsly_ ' declared Donex*s and
ioniser( ,the nominees of the, :party: „When
the nominationtrasio made more than two
thirds of the meinbers,of the whole Conven
tion:were present- and , consenting, and this
nomination was approved and endorsed by Mr.
D4wsox, 'the Chairman of the Pennsylvania
delegation, who had been their 'spokesman

BaltiniOre, as receiving thd ' and hearty
aisent'of the , whole - delegation, and entitled
to the support : the Democracy „Of the
State,no delegate: ohjeCting, though all, or
nearly, all, were present. Under such dream

pointed by this Reading Convention, is clearly
and simply tevite :for thenomin.ations thus
Made by the delegate s appointed by the same
Convention that apiaiiited_thern ; and it is as
clearly and simply the duty of the State Com
mittee appointed by Mr. WEisii. under the an
thority ,of .the Reading Convention,. to see
that the elector. so nominated will agree to
Vote for the candidates so nominated by the
National Convention;-and if• they will not
pledge themselves to do so, as all electors
hive heretofore ' done in this State; to put
others in their place, that will_ perf_orm the du

If any eleetorrefuse to 'pledge hiniself to
vote for
_the nominees of the Convention,

is no longer bound by any party usage to vote
for 'him ; 'and, those members of the State

It is tiotonishing , how we borrow comfort for our
selves teem the misfortune* of others.' Even the
phip u lthi c o s t, e l lio pities the,poor wretch shiver.
ing in the Streets in theyintieS storm, feels union
/Wendy happier in the contrast suggested by his
oheerful fire, his soft carpets, and his' luxurious
fare. It was a favorite remark of an old-fashioned
philosopher, that the best of ns felt a secret joy in
the misfortunes of our beat friends, prc vided the
blow did not include ourselves. " John," said a.
rich old lady to her _servant, a you can take a load
of wood to the poor family over the way this cold
evening ' but before you go, mix me a glass of ne
"gus ;" but as she warmed under the potion, she re
considered the order; with the remark that he need
not :go, le theirouble, "because the weather had
greatly' moderited." But this was Carrying
selfishness , another extreme, and making
Others suffer because they were, not fortu
nate. "Now, I 'do not rejoice because you are
sweltering. I pity you with the, profoundest pity.
I know that this is as fiery and as merciless a day
se ever was made. , I know it by the heat that pre
vails here, if you seek the silent sunshine as it
brightens and.burns in the streets or glances down
as reforms into unshaded corners. I seeyour
desetted streets, sive where a desperate pedes
trian makes rapid strides to get out of them. I see
the men of " the ravenous pen" sweating and
scribbling for the morning paper's. I anticipate,
with no pleasure, the agony of the thousands of
oemPesitors on these same papers, who, during this
evening, must pursue their trade under the double
infliction of Close rooms and flaming gas. I can
feel' for the workmen and the work-womenl in
shops, and factories, and stores on this
August day , for ,' the poor, crowded into
the stiffing alleys of the great cities, with
their children, deprived of air, and often of food,'
and for all over-heated huinanity. As I write this
in my room the sea-brecise comes in through the
latticed shutters, balmy, and soft, and cool.. Away
off on the beach the visitors are preparing for their
noontide bath, and with my new marine glass (a
preient from a friend) I can tell the colors of their
dresses, and almost distinguish their faces. I can
easily point out many that I know, even at this
distance. ' That light figure in the blue domino
and groat Mexican strew hat, is Hobert J Walker,
and he is leading into the sad (or is led in by) a
lady taller than hlinielf. There is Attorney Gene
ral Black, clad In white from his head to hie feet.
Yonder, at the verge of 'the water, is Jo. McKib
bin, lowering like a giant, even at the side of Non.
A. K. McClure, of Franklin. Senator Brodhead
and lady are just disappearing under a huge surf.
John Brodhead, the president of this distriot of
country, is ,
' " Dashing aside the saueY waves
That throng and press to rob him of his prise,"
evidently a beautiful woman. Colonel Snowden; of
the Mint, is" just coming from the shed in which
the gentlemen get their bathing-clothes, acoompa
nied by his wife. General Lauman, of Barks,
walks down to the ocean, the centre of a group of
the 'guests 'Of the United States. Thal fine-look
ing fellow is a Southern flre.eater, and he is about
to 000 l hie brow in company with a noted Republi
can. - Ex• Mayor Gilpin and his boys have Just
gone in to wash off the dust from the ride they en
dured on their morning'a trip from Philadelphia.
I regret I cannot reach the bathers front the
other houses, which, by the way, are all pros
paring. There is room enough for all, not only for
recreation, but for compensation ; and I see that
MoKibbin rejoices in the good fortune that at
tends his neighbors.
What a superb day is this 7th of August ! The
blue water, looking BO crisp and cold—the ships,
of which a dollen are in view, " flying before a
pleasant breeze, as if partaking in the merriment
that makes the distant shore jocund—the voices of
thereolored servants of the hotel, swelled into a
chorus from some opera; sound up to my chamber,
and add to this harmonies of the scene.
And now the bathere are returning. There is a
bone railroad that carries them down and back.
It is packed with passengers. They crowd in,
; crinolines are crushed, bonnets are
broken; and doubtless hearts, too, on this brief
journey. They are all happy, if their laughter,
as I hear it here, Moans anything. This gay em
ploy next retire to their rooms, to emerge In about
an hour adorned for dinner,- radiant in health,
tierce of apppetite, and ready for sport. I hear the
musicians 'preparing for this important ceremony
of dining. You eat to muerte here, as you dance to
to It. Your 'soup is generally swallowed with
"Hail Columbia ;" your tishmith the overture to
Massaniello; iour beef with a grand, • starchy
march from Norma ; your side-dishes with a re
frain from Ernani ; your wine' with the drinking
long from Luorezia Borgia, and your dessert
with it grand good-bye from hungry French
horns and tired fiddlers; and your de
parture from the saloon with a lively and
laughing gallop, which means that the musicians
want their dinner too. A good many sensible pm
will Modeles that all this is folly—ind eo in some
sort it is. , But I contend that it is a good thing,
and I only wish I could enjoy it more, and that I
were not quite as much of a galley slave as I must
be; and that, like luckier men, I cannot afford to
rest, repose, and rust in my own way.
Release from toll, relief from eternal thought, is
a Providence. And nowhere can it ho better and
more cheaply obtained than here.. I am not
puffing this piaci°. lam no "dead-head." I pay
my bill like the rest of this gay convosation.
-Bat I give it, therefore, as my honest and
unbiassed judgment that Atlantic City is
worth a visit, that its advantages will repay
a visit, and that the Philadelphia people ought to
encourage it with hearty seal. Nor would I dis
parage Cape May, or our own State resorts. If
Cape May could be moved nearer to Philadelphia,
or if Philadelphia could be married to Cape May
by Iron bond., it would he the most magnidoent
watering-place on the globe. Bat in this fast
ago, time 'is everything; and Attends City is
growing into great consideration because of its
accessibility. When Cape May is connected with
Philadelphia by a railroad, Atlantic City need not
fear a rival which now, with a railroad added to
its other charms, would utterly destroy her. But
when that day comes, there will be , more than
enough to Make both prosperous, and, therefore,
friendly.. He who reads the census statistics will
understand what I mean. J. W. F.

The thanks of the association were returned to

Mr. John A. Morrison, from the Finance Coin
relate, reported that the large ball of the Assem
bly Building, Tenth and 'Chestnut streets, had
been rented. He also stated that the committee
had prepared a book for subscriptions to defray
the expenses of the campaign. He desired that
the association should take the matter in hand
themselves, and by voluntary contributions of not
lees than one dollars month per roan, and commis
more as they chose to give, create a fond to carry
on the campaign.
The subscription book was then laid before the
meeting, when Dr. John Patrick suggested that
all gentlemen who could give $5O a month should
sign first, and let barefooted boys like himself
come in afterwards.
Several gentlemen then put their names down
for dIO and smaller sums.
Mr. Robert B Pendell, from the Exeoutive
Committee, reported that the committee had rented
the ball a t Assembly Building. The platform
will be erected today, and the transparencies will
be ready in a few days. He stated that everything
would be ready by the 15th of the month, and +mg
gated that the hall should be formally opened on

No reports were received from the Eighteenth,
Nineteenth, Twentieth, Twenty-first, Twenty-se
toad, and Twenty-third wards.
The Twenty-fourth ward was reported to have
organised.
Mr. Robert R. Randall moved that a committee
of five be appointed to circulate campaign docu
ments throughout the country. He said he had
held a conversation with General Doff Green, who
was an old campaigner, and he had suggested the
importance of a movement of this kind.
Mr. James Goodwin opposed the motion of Mr.
Randall, contending that it would be offering
en insult to' theMonamittee on Correspondence,
who'hed such matters in charge.
Mr. Randall said he believed the Committee on
Correspondence had not yet held a meeting. He
did not wink to offer any indignity to the commit
tee by introducing the resolution, and hoped that
the chairman of the Committee on Correspondence
(Hon. Wm. B. Reed) would be made chairman of
the committee he proposed.
Dr. Patrick did not think the gentleman (Mr.
Randall) knew anything about what the Committee
on Correspondence were doing, or had done. If
this resolution passed, it would - be equivalent to
turning him (Dr. P) out of the committee, by
giving the work to other men to do. He considered
the resolution as insulting to the committee.
Dr. Louis M. Coates, another of the Committee
on Correspondence, considered the resolution as a
direct insult to the committee,
who were ready and
willing to perform their deity.
Mr. Randall disolaimed any snob deeign as Re
puted to him by the two gentlemen named; and
withdrew the resolution. He then moved that the
suggestion olden. Duff Green in referent. to cir
culating campaign documents be referred lo the
Committee on Correspondence.
This was opposed by Mr. Goodwin, and others,
as dictating to the committee, and upon the
question being put, the motion of Mr. Randall was
lost, by a large majority voting against it. During
the discussion mentioned above, Gen. Duff Green
entered the room, and took a seat. A delegation
of the Second ward Association, beaded by Mr J.
B. Shaeffer, arrived at the same time Mr.
Shaeffer reported that an association had been
formed in the Second ward, and 70 persons bad
signed the constitution. Three cheers were then
given for the Second ward.
General Duff Green was then called upon to ad
dress the meeting.
GENERAL DUFF anzzx's paoroeirrorr.
I owe my friend, Mr. Randall, an apology for
introducing to him the subject just under discus.
Edon before mentioning it to this association, and I
regret that the suggestions I made to him were not
received by the Committee on Correspondence in
the spirit in which they were proposed. There
was no intention, on my patt, to give offence or to
dictate to the committee There are few men of
my age who have had more experience than I have
had in public affairs. But I regret to say that, old
as I am, I have never seen an occasion when
greater exertions were required to preserve the
country from destruction by the violence of poli
tical parties, than at the present time. With my
opportunities of intercourse with all eminent men
who have been in public life within the past gene
ration, no man could have played the parasite
with more advantage than I could have done
had I desired to de 'so. But I have
always roomed to sacrifice my principles for my
private interest. I am not a party man, in the
sense in which you regard It in Pennsylvania. Ha
then, gave a brief sketch of hie early history and
parentage. and the positions of influence he had
bold in Missouri, where he had many opportunities
of using power and influence to his own advantage
hut ha had always scorned to do it. He then said :
lam a Southern man. All my feelings and pre
judices are Southern, but at the same time there is
no man more attached to the Union than I Us, and
I have determined to throw myself into this con
test, for the purpose of preserving the Union,
if my humble carte will midst in doing
it. He said he had addressed a letter to the
Governor of Pennsylvania, showing that the na
tions of Europe maintained in arms 2.800r;000 men,
at a vast expense. This was a necessity of their
condition, which compelled them to be always pre
pared to repel aggression, howevsr pearmably
die
posed they might be Following this lino of ergo
merit, he laid : What would be our condition if this
Union were dissolved? We would be compelled to
keep large armies to defend ourselves against each
other, withdrawing men from the punnits of in
dustry to the unprofitable trade of war. Why are
our army and navy so small when compared with
those of other nations? Simply because we
are a united people, and intense we do
not necessarily require armies and navies to be
be held in readiness to make war upon one portion,
or to defend it from the attacks of another portion
This is one reason why the Union should be pre
served. But I think there is danger, and it is
greater now than ever before, of the dissolu:ion of
this Tinton. 411 my Influence shall be used to pre.
Vent limb a catastrophe; but I believe that in the
event of Lincoln's election, it would be difficult to
restrain the South from withdrawing. The at
tachment to the Union is strong in the South, but
it is not greeter than was the attachment of the
colonies to the mother country before the Revolu
tion, and yet the tie that bound the two countries
was broken, and the connection with the mother
country severed. I wish to warn the people of
Pennsylvania and New Jersey of the danger
to come. Ito alluded to these two States; as he
believed that upon them the great issue depended,
and it was in those States the decisive battle was to
be fought. Ile had travelled 'in the South, aen
versed with the people there tit their firesides,
within thepast year, and ho knew the feeling
which existed was a fixed determination to with
draw if Lincoln were eleottd.
Ile believed that when the eyes of the people
of Pennsylvania were opened, they would rally to
the support of the Constitution and the rights of
the South. (Applause.] Ile proceeded to show
that the beet way of enlightening the people upon
the vital political questions of the day wee by the
dloomination of the truth in publications which
would reach all classes.
Ho stated that his son, who bad been educated un
der his own eye, and whom be regarded as one of
the best writers in the Union, desired to establish a
paper bore to support Breckinridge and Lane, pro
videded sufficient funds were raised to secure the
permanent success of the enterprise. Ifo did

Gen. Green said if the paper wait started he
would endeavor to unite the Bell and Rverett seen,

Pennsylvania to defeat Lincoln, for he considered
that the vote of this State was Indispensable to

RECOVERING TREASURE FROM THE OCEAN—
A CRUM OFF ATLANTIC CITY.—A year or two
ago, a ship called the "Flying Dutchman" was
wreaked on a shoal in the Atlantis ocean, about
five miles eastward of^Atlantlo City. The cargo
of the vessel consisted, among other things, of eon
adorable quantities of quicksilver, secured in
water-tight iron flasks, which resemble pigs of
iron. The wreaked vessel lies on the shoal above
spoken of, in about twel've feet depth of water at
low tide. The hull is entirely below water, and a
great portion of it is embedded in the land, which
is forced over and into every portion of the
wrecked vessel. Recently an effort has • been
made to recover a portion of the cargo of the Fly
ing Dutchman, which premises to be successful.
A large foro-and.aft schooner, the Isadore, of New
York. has been anchored directly over the spot
where the Flying Dutchman lies, which is outside
the first line of buoys. To those of our readers
who have not made a trip out on the 5, deep blue
sea," it might be stated here that there
are three lines of buoys anchored out on
the coast opposite Atlantic City. The first
of these buoys as you leave the shore bears
a large figure "3" in white letters on a black
ground, or rather on the large end of a dark-look
ing object, resembling somewhat' the thickest
part of the smoke-stack of a locomotive engine.
After passing beyond buoy No. 3. and sailing
about two relies further out, buoy No. 2is seen,
and two miles beyond this is buoy No. 1. which is
the limit within which sailing vessels of a heavy
draught of water should not trust themselves, if
they wish to ~avold danger. To the landsman,
these precautionary measures would seem to be
unnecessary ;for when he looks around, he can
seemly see the light-house at sitlantio City in the
distance, which looks like a tall poplar-tree dead
lug above, on a little fringe of land, Just above the
hOrison.
Looking seaward, the wide and traektess ocean
is spread out before the beholder. with nothing
but "water. water everywhere," and the sky
overhead. The scene is a most charming one.
From the looks of things around, the green lands•
men would suppose that there was a mile depth
of water beneath the vessel in whioh he is sailing.
But suit is not the case. The schooner lectors,
before spoken of, is stationed over the bar where
the Flying Dutchman atrnak, and, in comparatively
shoal water, was wreaked. The schooner has a
large party of men on board, and a steam pump,
which Is kept actively in operation when the tide
Is favorable.
The pump is need to free the sunken venal of
the sand 'whisk accumulates in the hold, and
thereby enables the man who goes MA% in the
diving•bell to get at the articles he desires to re
cover. This diving•bell is a very important ad
junct in the recovery of the valuable cargo. When
the tide is low, the man who goes down into the
wreak stays there three hours at a time. He is
supplie I with fresh air through a pipe which ex
tends up a considerable distance above the endue
of the water. On one aide of the *Mooney Is a
derrick, which lets down a chainwlth a grapnel'at
the end, into the water below. The man in the
diving-bell, after having secured lush artioles as
he can conveniently manage. adjusts them on the
grapnel, when, at a given signal, it is drawn asp
on board tho sohooner above. In this way a large
amount of valuable property has been recovered,
mostly quicksilver, which is done up in iron water
tight packages, and is brought to the surface un
injured. A day or two since we enjoyed the plea
sure of a rail on board of a fine sloop from the inlet,
near Atlantic City, out to the Isadore, on the bar.
and, during half an hour that we sailed around
the schooner, no less than six of these flasks of
quicksilver were hauled out of the water, each one
weighing over 100 pounds, and worth about $lOO
each. The tide wee low at the time, and the
workmen were making the beat of it, laboring
" with a will " while the opportunity lasted.
The parties concerned in the work are confident of
recovering the greater part of the cargo before the
close of the summer lesson. In addition to the
quicksilver recovered, they have brought up nume
rous other articles, among which was a block of
atone for the Washington Monument at Washing
ton. The operation of the diving bell is very in
teresting, and should be witnessed by those who
are spending a few days at Atlantic City, who can
thus enjoy the pleasure of a fine sail upon the ocean,
besides increasing their stook of knowledge.

Bonzems.—A correspondent gives ns the follow
ing account of a meteor which was seen in this
city on Monday evening :
Atrausr 7, 1880.
To the Editor of The Press: Lest evening,
(Monday,) et seven o'clock and thirty-five minutes,
another meteor was seen. Its elevation was about
twenty•five degrees ebony the western horizon,
and its course, as it sppeared.to the observers, was
north, a little west. Its rate of speed was about
the same as that of the great meteor of the 20th
nit. It would not have attracted the attention of
one who was not looking toward that part of the
heavens where it appeared owing to the glow which
remained in the western s ky after the sun had set;
but had it appeared later in the evening, and wit%
a darker background, it would have presented,
both in size and brilliancy, an appearance very
similar to the one of the 20th ult. It emitted eor
ruscations of light, and was followed by a train.
It was visible, after we first noticed it. about fif
teen seconds. J. A. B.
The Evening Bulletin of yesterday also thus
alludes to the phenomenon :
We learn from a number of permns that, just
before dark last evening. a meteor was seen in this
pity. If was Oita large, and nearly as brilliant
as the one seen on the 20th ult., bat as the tints
was twilight it did not make anything like so ex
tensive a display. A correspondent writes the

was sitting on the porch last evening, in Oorepirny
with soma friends, at about twenty-ffve minutes of
eight oar attention was suddenly arrested by one
of our number calling nut " another meteor," ac
companied with a grand rush to the west end of the
porch. Upon looking up we beheld what appeared
to be a large ball of light, of a silvery hue. with a
tell about eight feet in length. -traversing the
heavens at a rapid rate in a northeasterly direr.
tion. which retained' its brightness undiminished
until it disappeared beneath the horizon.
ilag it been later in the evening, we doubt
whetter it would have been, in any rrepect, infe
rior to the one seen so recently, and which caused
Boob general excitement throughout the country.
We regret that, owing to the unusual hoar, the
phenomenon was witnessed by but comparatively
few. Hut,
THE AURORA BOREALlS.—Yesterday morn
ing between two and three o'clock, a beautiful
display of the aurora borealis was witnessed in the
sky It extended across the northern part of the
heavens from the horizon to the zenith, and exhi

not obscuring the stare. In the northeast the phe.
nomenon assumed a bright white color. slightly
tinged with green, and tapering upwards in the
form of rugred purple shafts and columns. The'
moon was shining brightly at the time, and from
the bill at Fairmount, where the writer witnewd

sublimity. peculiar effeot was that the tames.

mained for an hour or two, but was evidently die
appearing at four o'clock, when the writer ceased
his observations.
CROSS, THE ISOAPRD FORGRE.—Thus far
the forger Cross, who lately escaped, has managed
to elude pursuit. District Attorney Mann offers a
reward of five hundred and fifty dollars for his re.
arrest ; but Cross is a cunning socamdtel, and even
with so vigorous a stimulant to action as five hun
dred and fifty dollars, the police May only cape- ,
rienoe disappointment in their Warts to recapture
him. The scheme of escape was no doubt deeply
laid, and the fugitive has managed to cover up his
trail so etTectually, that nothing has been seen of
the wagon over since it got out of sight of the offi
cer on Saturday morning. It was reported that
the fugitive had crossed the bridge at Penrose
Ferry, rose after hie escape; but this statement
proves to be incorrect, and it is now pretty certain
that he was either taken to some house in the First
ward, where he remains concealed, or that he was
taken to some point on the Delaware ' where a small
boat was in waiting to row him off to a vessel, by
which he will finally find his way to Europe.

Indignation Bleetii!g Ofthe Cape liar
Excurshiniets:
An adjourned meeting of the Pasaingeri who
consider themselves swindled by the managers of
the steamboat John A. Warner, on account of the
wrongs heaped upon them during their recent ex
oursion to Cape May, to visit the Great Eastern,
was held last evening at Military Hall, on Third
street, beloW Green. About sixty of the sufferers
were present, to hear the report of the prosecuting
committee appointed at the previous meeting.
Mr. Otto Maas stated that he had called upon
Adams' Express. Company in reference to the mat
ter, and that they had expressed their regret that
lush a miftortune should have occurred. _The com
pany said they had no doubt many had purehaeld
tickets because they were sold at their °See
They, however, were not interested in the ease of
the tickets. An agent for the Great Eastern kid
been sent to them, and as they believed him to be
a responsible person, they could seen impropriety
in granting him their office to dispel/wet his tick
ets. The committee had ascertained that a man
named Ziegler, of Baltimore, had been employed by
the agents of the Great Eastern at New York to
get rip excursions to Cape May. and for that reason
had chartered the John A. Warner. Mr. Wool
ston, one of the passungers, had lost his begesto
on board the boat, and has not yet recovered
F. Carnal Brewster had been employed as counsel
by the latter, and recommended that the other
victims should join with him in prosecuting a suit.
Mr. B. had already prepared three di ff erent suits
—one by those who had returned on the Warner,
another by those who had been taken to Now
York, and a third by those who came to Philadel
phia by the Whildin or Washington.
Mr. Henry, one of the victims, said he had called
to see tie Express Company about the tickets,
and, from their account, considered they had
suffered enough already, without being prosecuted.
and therefore hoped a resolution would be adopted
fully exonerating them from any share in the
swindling operation.
Mr. J I. Lewis, of West Chester, opposed this
on the ground that, as tickets had been purchased.
from Adams' Express Company, they should first
come forward and manfully proclaim that they had,
been imposed upon. They owed this to the public,
whose confidence they have, as well as to them
selves.
Mr. Henry explained that they were ready to
do 'hit, and had expreued a willingness to aid in -
a prosecution against the GlrearEeelern Company.
The resolutioh was laid upon the table
It was announced that the case had not been die•
charged, es stated in the afternoon papers of yes•
terday, but that it would come up before Judge
Grier in the course of a week
Mr. Lewis offered his services to audit Mr. Brew
ster as counsel, 'without charge Hie offer was be
canted. and a vote of thanks tendered to him.
The proprietors of the John A. Warner are to be
sued civilly, and the agent of the Great Eastern to
be prosecuted criminally. Joseph M. Reichardt,
was chosen as treasurer.
Anumber o'specchea were male as to the 'treat- •
ment received. One person said that while ex
postulating with the agent or the captain of the
Warner relative to the swindle, he received for an
answer, 't Well, your eyed areyour market, and.
you ought 'to keep them open . '
' Another Tien=
said that the capt ain said he might go to b—l,
for all he cared . " Another one of the wren:germ
said the captain replied to a question as follows:
" , Ile didn't care a how he got to the Great -
Eastern ; the tiekets add Cape May, and nothing
about the Great Eastern."
?fr. Lewis made a few remarks, and in order to
exonerate the regular captain of the Jnbn A.
Warner, felt it his duty to say that the Warner was
under the control of the agent of the Groat Eastern.
Messrs. H. Boman. Woolaton, and Ewing, were
appointed a committee to fest the right of the
agent or agents of the Great Eastern to swindle the
people. The sum of $65 was subscribed at once as
the first instalment towards the ply of counsel in
prosecuting the ease.
On motion, the meeting adjourned until next
Tuesday night, to meet again at the same plaee.
