The News.
The Prime of Wales passed a quiet Sabbath day
yesterday in the respectable capital of the Old
Dominion. There was neither musie nor dancing,
nor snobbery nor toadyism, but the Prince was
allowed to arrive and remain without any
ostentation. • lie attended church yesterday
morning, arid will leave for Baltimore to-day, re
maining Imtil to-marrow, when he will start for
this 'city, and arrive in time to vote, should he
particularly desire that glorious and inestimable
privilege. On our fourth page we continue at de
tail our atonic's, of the Prince's doings. It will
be seen that he had a demooratio time at Washing
ton, riding, rowing, dancing, gossiping, coquet
ting, rolling ten-pine, and developing his princely
ligaments and sinews.' In the course of his stay a
visit was paid to the grave of Washington. The
oorresnondents describe the scene as solemn end
impressive: The royal descendant of George 111
doing homage at the grave of Washington ! Of
hdw many paintings and poems will this form a
sagge!!lie theme?
We yield a good portion of our space to-day to
a narrative of the political doings of Saturday eve
ning. The Democratic demonstration at Indepen
dence Square in honor of Henry D. Poster, was a
magnificent affair both in numbers and enthusiasm
The main speech of the evening was mate by Gov.
Lowe, of Maryland, and is fully reported.
The details of another eteaniboat disaster come
to us from Texas. The - calamity 000urred on the
Houston river, and was caused by the explosion of
the steamer Bayou City. The ass of life is un
known, although it is certain that six passengers
are dead and ten wounded. Among those who pe•
risked we noticed the name of J. 8. Irvin, Speaker
of• the Georgia House of Representitives. The
cause •of the explosion is now under investiga
tion.
William Auld, convicted of arson, was sen
tenced on Saturday to ten years' imprisonment in
the penitentiary. The death-warrant of James
Miller, sentenced to death for the murder of Hen
ry Gerker. has been signed by Governor Packer.
The prisoner will be executed on the 7th of De
cember unless executive clammy should inter
vene.
In the New York Supreme Court, on Saturday,
the question of the appointment of a receiver of
the Aniline' Bank was again disowned, and the
case was further adjourned to Wednesday next.
All the applications for the appointment of a re
ceiver, save one, were withdrawn, and it was in
timated that the bank would resume business.
On Saturday, Jaokalow, the Chinaman, was in
dieted by the Grar d Jury of the United State,
Circuit Court, at Trenton, for the murder of the
orew of the sloop Spray. There are five bills of
indictment against the awned—one for the mur
der of "Jonathan T. Lest, one for the murder of
Elijah J. Lest, one . for the robbery of sash, and
one for running away with tbevessel. The trial of
the prisoner will take plan on the third Tuesday
in January next, at Trenton, N.J.
On Saturday evening, in New York, at a meet
ing of the presidents of the various Democratic and
Union political clubs, it was agreed that the pro
posed grand parade of all the anti-Lincoln orga
nisation,, and citizens generally, shall take yaw
on the night of Tuesday, the 28d inst.
On Saturday ns;rning the schooner Bighorn's,
Captain Bayley, from Guayanilla and Pones, Porto
Eno, arrived at New York, with dates to the 23d
of September. The failure of the house of Mange
A Co., together with the death of Mr. Ulanga, on
September 21, and the absence of the managing
partner in Europe, had created a sensation all over
the island. The weather continued rainy, and
crepe promised to be very large. American pro.
visions had arrived inconsiderable quantities, and
the market was well supplied. Lumber was be.
coming scarce, and good pitch pine in demand. Ex
change was improving ; Now York, 2 to 3 per cent.
premium; American gold, par; London, $5.20;
Paris, 4EBO to 4f.85 ; Spanish gold and silver, 01
par cent. premium.
The steamship ilanderbilt arrived at Now York,
from Bane and Southampton, on Saturday night
The Vanderbilt brings European news to the 26th
ult., but we have already received and published
advises to the 27th, per City of Baltimore. We,
however, give this morning 60010 additional items
brought by the Vanderbilt. The steamship Adri
alio sailed from New York on Saturday for South
ampton and Havre, with 240 passengers and 5 6 7 .5 , - '
000 in specie. The Edinbritgh also sailed yesterday
for Liverpool, with 216 passengers and 117,648 in
speofe—omirterunte - roted=opeole shipment 5682,-
348:
The Northern Light, from Aspinwall, with dates
to the 30th ult., arrived at New York yesterday.
She brings neither mails, treasures, nor passengers
from the Paella, as the John L. Stephens, from
Ban Francisco, had jest arrived at Panama on the
29th ult. it is thought the Stephens met with some
aooldent during a heavy gale which occurred on
the 21d or 24th ult. There were troubles at pee
name between the negroes and natives. The ma
rines from the American and British naval vessels
landed for the preservation of peace, and took pos
session of the railroad depot. The news from
South America was unimportant.
MP At no period has the Democratic party
in Pbiladelphin been more fortunate than in
its present nominations for the county offices,
to be voted for to-morrow. The candidate
for Recorder of Deeds, GEORGE W. Wunnstt,
Esq., is one of'onr most popular and respect
ed citizens, and the nominees for Prothono
tary of the District Court and for Clerk of the
Quarter Sessions, Wrtucti Loronuw and
Pump H. Ltrrrs, Esqs., are no lees deserving
of confidence and support. We entertain
very little doubt of the election of this ticket,
although both the Administration organs in
Philadelphia have steadily refused to raise it
to their mast-head, or to give it the benefit of
their endorsement. These candidates, it
should be remembered, were selected with
out the slightest reference to the Presidential
question, and, in fact, can have nothing what
ever to do with it. But this does not prevent
the Administration and its dependents from
quietly attempting to defeat them.
Dancing with the Prince.
Jks the programme decided upon for the re
ception of the Prince of Wales in this city
embraces a brilliant operatic performance, the
ball, which was once in contemplation, will no
doubt be dispensed with, and thus the exciting,
vexatious, difficult, and tantalizing question,
of "who shall dance with the Prince ?" will not
be permitted to agitate the bosoms of the fair
dames of Philadelphia. 'l 4 ho gi irrepressible
conflict" on this subject, in New York, has
not yet been extinguished, notwithstanding the
agreement in regard to the lady who should
open the ball with him, for, of course, he will
naturally seek a number of other partners
during the evening's entertainment. This
honor is one which the dashing belles of
Gotham will eagerly strive for, and surely
when they consider the eclat which the De
mocratic Prince of New York, Joux VAN
DUREN, and the Democratic Prince of Phila
delphia, Sir RICHARD Yam, won by dancing
with Queen VICTORIA in her youthful days, it
ie not unnatural that they should wish to
"trip the light fantastic toe" in company with
that (! love of a Prince," her son.

Mr. Boissa, purposing to publish a number
of sketches of eminent statesmen, writes to

Steam Frigate Niagara.
We publieh to-day an interesting letter
from on board the United States steam frigate
Niagara, which had reached a port on the
west coast of Africa when our correspondent

Another “Lecompton Frand.,,
It appears that .the much-boasted fusion
electoral ticket, which has the ' - singular ad
vantage of being forbad. against the regular
Democratic candidate for President, is not to
be commended to the people of Pennsylvania
in the spirit of the resolution which was
adopted at the far-famed meeting held at
Cresson heights, on tho ninth of August last.
In order to have a full understanding of this
resolution, we republish it; as follows :
Resolved, That the If cmooratio electoral ticket
be headed with the name of Douglas or Drookin
ridge as an elector at large; and in the event of the
suosess of said ticket, If a grebter number shall
have been oast for Douglas, then the voto of the
electoral college of the State shall be east for
Douglas and Matson; but if far Itreekinridge ‘ then
for Breakinridge and Lane. If the vote of Penn•
sylvania cannot elect the candidates for 'Rhein the
majority of votes ate oast, and can °het any man
running for President claiming to be a Demoorat,
then th 6 vote of the electoral college shall bo oast
for that candidate; if It will not elect either of the
Demoorats for whom it is cast, or any of the Demo
crats who are voted for in the States, then the veto
shall be east for the candidate who has the ma>
rity of the vote, of the State; and the chairman of
this committee bo requested to obtain from the
electors their several and distinot pledges of ad.
quiescenoe in the foragadng resolution, and report
the result of his action at a future meeting of the
committee.
The friends of BRECIIINAIDGE, who are at
the same time the associates of the Disunion
hits of the South, contend that this resolution
presents a fair and equitable method for ar
ranging the 'difficulties in the Democratic
party. A few words will expose, not only
their sophistry, but the fraud they con
template upon the Democrats of Pennsylva
nia. Two opportunities are presented for this
fraud, should the Disunion managers in this
State intend to perpetrate it, as we have no
doubt they do. These are—first, if the vote
of Pennsylvania can elect the candidate for
whom the majority of votes,are cast, the elect
ors may then elect "any man running for Pre
sident claiming to be a Democrat;" and "It
it will not elect either of the Dumocrats
for whom it is east, or any of tho Demo
crats who are voted for in the States, then
the vote shall be cast for the candidate
who has the majority of the votes of the
State"—which may of course include the Re
publican candidate, Mr. LINCOLN himself, Inas
much as this' language does not distinguish
the politics of the candidate.
But this is not the trick we started out to
expose. While it will be seen that the reso
lution professes to provide a plan by which
the friends of DOUGLAS may vote for the
fusion ticket, with the name of their candi
date at the head, we have just ascertained
that Mr. WELSH, chairman of the Administra
tion State Central Committee—who was re
quested to obtain from the electors their
c 4 several and distinct pledges of acquiescence"
by the resolution--has deliberately refused so
to do. So that it is evident, if the friends of
DOUGLAS are weak enough to have anything to
do with this fusion ticket, and throw the
largest number of votes for it, under the in
fatuation that their votes will be respected,
the advocates of the Disunion candidate for
President, in the pay of the Administration,
will refuse to recognize their votes, and will
unquestionably throw the whole vote for
BELECHINILIDGE.
There may ho another reason for the re
fusal of Mr. WELSH to interrogate the Brock-
Inridge electors ; and this is, that a number
of these electors, under their own hands and
seals, have repeatedly declared that in no event
untl they vote for Mr. Dermas, should they be
elected.
The Election.
Owing probably to the peculiar position of
parties, the present has not been so animated
as other Presidential campaigns. Within the
last week, however, the political ocean has
become rather tempestuous. Our streets are
enlivened With daily or nightly processions of
the .different organizations, and our news
papers filled with the
,proceedings of party
meetings, at • which hoarse orators repeat
the same old story to crowded audiences.
Any one anxious to ascertain the result of to
morrow's election would find little satis
faction by inquiring of the enthusiastic
friends of eltiler candidate for Governor.
rho Administration . or official influence
seems to be directed against the regu
lar Democratic candiates for offices in
Philadelphia, and against all regular candi
dates with Douglas proclivities in the several
cirienfnis nL.f State.__The_monear which is
being expended in the present campaign, is
used to defeat the Douglas men on the regu
lar tickets, and to help the Breckinridge men.
If Mr. FOSTER is overthrown to-morrow by his
competitor, Colonel ANDREW G. CURTIN, it
will be owing to the double cause that he has
teen stricken down by the office-holders, who
do not believe him to be:for BREOI7.IIIIIIDOE,
and by the Douglas men, who think he ought
to speak out for their candidate ; and the ex
ample of the office-holders in assaulting,
openly or secretly, all regular candidates with
Douglas inclinings, will unquestionably be
avenged by the masses of the Democratic
party.
Royal Perfidy.
Honor among Kings ought to be as much
a certainty, one would fancy; as honor among
thieves. It is not, we fear.
The latest foreign papers contain accounts
of a little bit of sharp practice which the ex
[Clog of Naples lately attempted against his
relative the Emperor of Austria.
FRANOIS•JOSEPII, himself a weak and some
times wicked sovereign, had so much sym
pathy for FRANCIS 11., of Naples, that, when
it became pretty clear that the Neapolitan
tyrant would have to fly, the Austrian fleet
were ordered up from the Gulf of Venice to
the shore of the Kingdom or .Haples, in or
ler, if needs be, to receive the fugitive King
md his family, and safely convey them to an
asylum in the Austrian dominions.
Of course, the King of Naples was greatly
relieved and obliged by the intimation that if—
as the event proved—ho could not trust his
own navy, he might rely on the navy of Aus
tria. But, not especially anxious to become
an exile, the Neapolitan ruler intimated to
GARIBALDI that, provided ho would discon
tinue hie course upon Naples, ho (the King)
mould lend him the Neapolitan navy, with a
large military force, to take with him for hos
tile operations against Venetia.
Incensed at this base perfidy, GARIBALDI
communicated it to the Emperor of Austria,
who immediately recalled his fleet to Trieste,
and •abandoned his treacherous cousin to his
fate. So runs the story, and it is too posi
tively detailed to leave much reasonable doubt
of its being founded on facts.
Mr. Robert Chambers.
This well-known publisher, one of tho
founders of Chambers' Edinburgh Journal,
and author of numerous valuable works, com
mencing with Sir WALTRII: SCOTT'S favorite,
"Traditions of Edinburgh," and concluding,
we believe, with "The Vestiges of Creation,"
is now in Philadelphia, and has received a
requisition from a considerable number of our
follow-citizens—authors, editors, merchants,
bankers, publishers, &c., headed by the Mayor
—to dine with them, on any day which may
suit his conlgenience. This compliment has
been offered him on account of his " long and
successful efforts in behalf of the interests of
education and knowledge," as publisiler and
writer, and also from high admiration of his
personal character. Mr. CIUt3IBERS' reply,
dated 1026 Arch street, October 6, 1660,
gratefully acknowledges the compliment, but
says that such outward and pointed demonstra
tions usually give him great embarrassment.
Re adds, " You will kindly oacuee me from
accepting it, and allow me to hap the greater
pleasure of seeing as many of you as possible
in a more private manner. You may, how
ever, be assured that I will not soon forget
the good feeling you have shown towards me."
Mr. 011A1111E11.9 will continue In Philadelphia a
few days, and may count himself lucky In
being present to witness " the humors" of the
election to-morrow.
Second Congressional District.
We learn that Mr. BRODHEAD, the Demo
cratic candidate for Congress in this district,
has determined to remain in the field, and has
se announced to those who have been anxious
that he should withdraw. Considerable effort
has been made to induce Mr. BRODHEAD to
retire, but his own better judgment, and the
judgment of most of the men on the regular
Democratic ticket, has prevailed. That ho
would make a capital officer, no ono who knows
his fine business talents, and his accommo
dating and obliging nature, can doubt. The
American candidate is Ron. HENny , M. Fur,-
Lea, and the Republican candidate Ron. E.

WASHINGTON, October 7, 1880
tinder the cloak of hostility to Lincoln, and in
the midst of the pants that Lincoln's election will
lead to a disruption of the Union, and to the
breaking up of our entire system of financial
credit, a most eatraordinary deception, bargain
and sale, nee to be carried on. The New York
herald alternates the cry that we are on the eve
of a great bankruptcy, which the eleotion of the
Ilepublioan candidate will precipitate, with the
appeal that nothing can prevent this bankruptcy,
and the consequent disruption of the Union, but a
combination of the Bell, Breokinridge, and Douglas
men, North and South. If you will look beneath
the surface 'of this hurrah, howbver, you will find
the conoealed Motive, and the Preparbd Ihagazine.
You will see that i'7hile pretending simply to
oppose and to defeat Mr. Lincoln, the chiefs of this
unholy trinity have another and a deadlier object
in view. They arc determined to destroy Stephen
A. Douglas. Thie is theii object, and if they can
once terrify the opponents of Lincoln into a solid
combination, then the high contracting parties
will insist upon making Douglas their victim, and
ho, being removed from the track, the Southern
sectional party well have thsngs their own way,
and will so nzazza,ge it as to perpetuate the
present Federal dynasty under another. name.
For, mark it, in proportiols as the South becomes
convinced that Lincoln's chances for a nearly solid
Northern vote are good, the Breokinridge Dis
union party in the Slave States increases in num
bers, and the probability of giving to their candi
date more eleo toral Votes than any of his com
petitors Is rendered more and more certain.
It is claimed that Douglas can get no eleotoral
votes in the South whatever ; and if you turn to
the North, what, up to this period of time, has
been the conduct of the leaders of the Bell and
Everett party in that quarter? Take theta all,
from Mr. Winthrop, in Massachusetts, to Judge
King and Henry M. Fuller, in Pennsylvania. What
does their record prove 7 Certainly not friendship
for Douglas, for I have yet to see the first word
from any of these men in approval Of the glorious
struggle of the gallant Senator from Illinois, or,
what is worse, any condemnation of the claims of
the Disunioniste headed by John C. Breokinridge
and William L. Yancey in the Southern States.
I have repeatedly admonished the friends of
Judge Douglas, in this correspondelme, that they
wore to be used to their own ruin—that their votes
were to be taken wherever they could be bad, for
fusion electoral tickets, and that, under the clamor,
and an apprehension that everything Watt going to
destruction, their candidate was to be sacrificed,
and a man ohoeen to the Presidency against whom
all their instincts and pledges and principles re
volt. And looking at the men called into Penn
sylvania from other States to make epeeohes for
Henry D. Foster, what honest Douglas men will
deny that they are all the enemies of his candi
date? Do these men know that the chairman
of the Breokinridge, Secession National Com
mittee, Governor Stevens, has been closeted in
your city, for days past, with'Bigler, Welsh, and
other chiefs of the Disunion party, plotting a plan
in favor of fusion after the Ootober election, and
praying that everything should be surrendered to
Foster, as a preparation for this fusion ? There
are the men who have called into Pennsylvania the
notorious Col. Isaac li. Wright, of Massachusetts
—whose betrayal of Douglas, at Baltimore, was of
so scandalous a character that it was rebuked by
the Democracy of hie own State, and who, after
his betrayal and his union with the Disunionists in
their seceding Convention, was rewarded by Mr.
Buchanan with a high office--and yet, this is the
man who, I perceive, has been addressing the
Democracy of middle Pennsylvania, apparently
in favor of Foster, but really to prepare their
minds for the great fraud to bo played upon them
after the October eleotion. Take Gov. Lowe, of
Maryland, another Breokinridge man—one who
has gone so far in his denunciation of
Stephen A. Douglas as to have awakened
the most deadly hostility against that states
man in his county and his district. Mr.
Fletcher Webster, of Boston, who still holds
the United States naval office at that place, and
Mr. Charles Levi Woodbury, of the same State,
both Breokinridge leaders, aro also !ravening
Pennsylvania under the direction of Mr. Stevens,
chairman of the National Secession Committee
No Douglas man from any other State zs in
vited to speakers Pennsylvania. Todd, of Ohio;
Merrieh, of Illinois; Gallagher, of Baltimore,
and Ryan, of Indiana, aro ozoluded from Penn
sylvania, and the campaign is confided to Breokin
ridge leaders. What it means you will under
stand after the October eleotion.
The Prince of Wales is in Richmond, Virginia,
to-day. and will probably have the best opportu
nity to see the peculiar institution in Its most fa
vorable aspect. Every Sunday the entire colored
population of Richmond, dressed in its best, turns
out and takes possession of the streets of that beau
tiful city. Hewitt be able to contrast the slaves of
the Booth willi the masses of the hard-working
people of Great Britain. No happier race, as a
mass, has ever existerm.. Um colored population
of the South. Among the lessons berm be Dble
to carry home, and to tell his mother, not the least
interesting is that whioh describes his experience
in the capital of the Old Dominion.
The letter of Beverly Tucker, Esq., American
consul at Liverpool, one of the boat offices in the
gift of the President, in which ho takes ground in
favor of Douglas, and strongly against the course
of the Administration and the extreme South,
ie another evidence of the way in which the
President is being deserted by his official
household. If Mr. Tucker were a Northern
man he would be certain, by this letter, to insure
his removal from office ; but belonging, as he does,
to one of the first families of Virginia, and con
nected with the leading friends of Brookinridge in
that State, he will not be called to account for his
patriotio declaration in favor of the regular Demo
°ratio candidate for President. The letter is
written in Tucker's best style, and will have a
good effect at his own home.
The Presldentdpas repeatedly Intimated his de
termination to write a Memoir of his Own Time
After He Retiree to Private Life, and, as an indi
oation of his sincerity, he has written to Mr. Bon
ner, of the New York Ledger, promising to give a
sketch of the lamented William Lowndes, of South
Carolina. Although Mr. Lowndes served in Con
gress from his State for eleven years, ending in
1822, he was but a aingio year in Hte National Le
gislature with Mr. Buchanan. Mr. Lowndes died
while on a voyage from Philadelphia to London, in
the ship Mom, in 1822, when he was but forty-two
years of age. He was a remarkable man, a great
debater, and stood in the front rank of American
statesmen of his day. Among the other accom
plishments of the President, that of being fond of
writing for the newspapers is one. He is not an
easy or a graceful writer. His is not the ale
gent style of Everett, whose classic; lore and
splendid imagery have done so mush to
enrich the pages of the Ledger; but he
is strong and nervous, or used to bo so when
I knew him well, and will, no doubt, give
us quite en interesting sketch of the great South
Carolinian. If Mr. Buchanan sets the example of
writing the history of his own career, he will be
apt to inspire other pens, for the subject is. a most
prolific one. It is not his intention to print it du
ring his lifetime. Re is a man of singular order,
and has preserved a vast mass of MSS., which,
if he should put into shape for publication,
would, no doubt, be a rare bonne bouehe for the
politician and the general reader. He should in
vita contributions for the new volume he bas in
contemplation desorlhing his own career, and the
characters cotemporaneous with him. These cha
racters or their sons would doubtless be very
willing to respond to any appeal he might make.
John Forsyth, of Alabama, would be willing to
give his glorious father's opinion of Mr. Bu
chanan. Martin Van Buren would, of course,
supply his page; the Muhlenbergs of Penn
sylvania—those who survive their father—would
be ever ready to appear in the same list, while
Henry Horn, of Philadelphia, Mr. Dallas, now
American minister at the Court of St. James, Mr.
William Wilkins, of Pittsburg ; William O. Rives,
of Virginia ; the family of the late Samuel D.
Ingham, formerly of Pennsylvania, and now of
New Jersey, together with hundreds of others,
North and South, would unite In such a series
. of
portraits of Mr. Buchanan himself, and of the
scenes in which he has figured as a prominent
actor for nearly half a century, as would render
his book almost as interesting as the adventures of
Sir Jenah Barrington himself. OccusioNs.t.

The special train, consisting of three oars, was in

The Prince of Wales at Richmond.
[From the New York Herald of reaterday.l
Itrenetosn, Out. 6.—The Harriet Lane had a
fine run to Aquia creek. As she 'passed Mount
Vernon the ship's bell was tolled, and after a
momentary hesitation all the royal party removed
their hate. The day was beautiful, and the South
never better deserving the epithet of "sunny."
The whole party was in great spirits.
At Avila creek the royal party landed, bade
good-bye to the gentlemen who had accompanied
them, and took a special train for Richmond.
The first part of the journey was over a road
laid with the dangerous strap rail, the only road
of the kind in the country, poet woods gay with
autumn's livery, past golden fields, past lanes so
shaded and tree.arched that the royal party said
they were like those of England.
The train then crossed the Itappahannook, end
stopped a few moments at Fredericksburg. The
Prince wee told this was the only finished city in
the United States. Re Mild not understand the
jest, and said he had soon fi ner It was explained
that the city had not gained in population in forty
years. Tho Prince appeared deeply interested
when he was told that there Washington became
a Freemason, and there Washington's mother was
buried A great crowd of people wore assembled
at the depot, cheering and shouting, the negroes
heeling and curtseying to the ground, praying
" God bless mans !" The Prince came out and
boiled, curiously inspecting the slaves, as if ho
expected to see some badge upon them.
The train started again, and passed wide
stretching plantations, with central white houses.
There are bat few villages on the route, as if all
tho ground was used for cultivation, and none
could be spared for building lots. In ecauparison
with the rich prairies which the Prince had Been,
the land looked poor; so the Duke of Newcastle
remarked.
At Ashland, about a Ills from which Henry
Clay woe born, the train was detained for come
time to await the arrival of the regular train.
The Prince and suite were resolved at the fair.

o'clock this evening, by the Mayor and a commit
tee of citizens The Prince and suite wore con
veyed to the city in barcuohes.
When the party reached Richmond it was near
ly seven o'olook. There was a tremendous crowd
at the depot, which cheered greatly, and chased
the carriages through the streets, and blocked up,
the street leading to the hotel. The people crowd
ed into the passages and stairways, and it was
with mush difficulty the party got through. There
was no formality and no prooeseion, but oontinual
cheers all through the streets. There has been no
such popular demonstration since the Prince
relished the Mateo. lie stops at the Exchange
Hotel.
The Prince expressed his satisfaction with the
arrangements.
The ball bee been given up, partly on account of
the Prinee'e fatigue, and partly en atoount of finan

There is a groat orowd still standing in front of
the hotel, but the party will probably not go out

The meeting adjourned a few minutes after nine
o'clock, in order to allow the formation of the
procession.
THE TORCH-LIGHT PROCESSION.
Tho procession Wee marked by Boum equally
outdone features with the great Curtin parade of
the preceding Wednetd ay night. The men marched
with lanterne, but they had not been drilled with
the regularity of the 'Wide Awakes. Some batta
lions marched regularly ; some wheeled and turned
with military precision ; but some of the companies
performed the rail.fence movement, and marched
with wonderful irregularity, which it must have
taken some drilling to accomplish.
In point of numbers the display was very Sao.
It was estimated at about five thousand. The
number of lamps was said to bo 2,550 The Darby
mediation had cek leaves tied to their lantern,.
Coming down the street, they reminded one that
" Birnam wood be come to Duneinane " whither
Colonel Curtin wee to be besieged. ihe uptown
delegations boasted a large wagon, representing a '
blacken:llth shop. The blacksmiths wore red shirts,
and hammered at red-hot iron.
An individual at Fifth and Chestnut streets flied
repeated salutes with a brass cannon. Chief Rug
gles pounced upon him and captured the field
piece and the artillerists. The flags and banners
on line were of varied cetera and bore alt sorts of
mottoes. The imperilled Union was assured re
poatediy that it must and should be preserved.
Several wards told us that they were " gond for
several thousand," and seetioneliem was defied in
all manner of ways. The tariff was fostered by
every delegation. "Foster and the tariff," 44 Fos
ter and the Union," "Foster and the Consti
tution" blazed out from lanterns and mammoth
transparencies as if the streets wore General Fos
ter Homes. In one instance the announcement
was made that the 44 Black Curtin of Sectionalism
should bo trampled by ilarly of the West."
Chinese lights of variegated hues shone melan
choly through thb darkness; great profiles,broad
ly grinning, looked down through the squares of
avenue, and seemed to put out their ghostly
tongues.
It was grand to look down a mile of street, and
see the flash and blaze of two thousand lanterns.
Blue lights threw lurid shadows upon squares, and
gave to upturned faces tho hung of death and
gtistliness; anon a hundred Roinan candles
gushed out stroame of rod and balls of fire, which
ran up into the eters, and fell in unties of parks.
Then a Pleat rocket hissed and fumed until the
pursuing eye beheld it in mid heaven, piercing the
vault, and then, sadly and reluctantly, tho naked
shaft descended upon the head of acme luckless
bystander.
At Filth and Chestnut streets the tumult and
confusion were very great. The lines of light di
verged in both directions on either etreet, forming
an immense arose of fire. Upon the sidewalk
masses of men wore moving hither and thither.
The deers array of dark, surging heads loomed
beneath the eye. Cheers and shouts rang hoarsely
up. Occasionally there were groans from entogo.
nistia factions then the sheering was prolonged
and deafening. Some few of the delegations wore
cape and capes ; the majority of those in the pro
cession wore plain citizens' dress The lines filed
down Chestnut street, apd diverging, passed over
several avenues. At various points parties left
the ranks and proceeded to their several wattle
A large number of the clubs passed up Third
street. A slight row occurred between some Fos
ter and Curtin men on that street, which for a
time threatened to be dangerous, being partici
pated in by immense numbers. The Curtin men
were finally driven off. The shrieks of the con
testants and the rallies of the masses was exceed
ingly interesting.
Au individual in plaid and leggings made some
shrill and singular music upon the bagpipes. In

An Indignation Meeting Called.
THE GETTERS OF OF THE• MOVEMENT AMONG THE
KISSING-DISORDERLY PROCEEDINGS
During last week considerable excitement ex
isted among the Bell and Everett party in this
City, growing out of the action of their City Execu
tive Committee, in recommending the Bell and
Everett vote to be cast for Henry D. Foster, the
Demooratio candidate for Governor. The oppo
nents of this proceeding published a call for a
meeting, to be held on Saturday evening, In Inde
pendence Square, of the " true and unpurohaseable
friends of Bell and Everett," to denounce the
action of the Executive Committee. At the hour
fixed for the meeting a large number of men
were in attendance, but it was evident, from
their conversation and bearing, that they were
opposed to the objects of the meeting, as ezpressed
in the oall. A stand had boon erected for speakers,
but there was no light, ao a scene of noise and con
fusion ensued for a considerable time. A few
minutes before eight o'clock, nearly half an hour
after the time fixed for the meeting, Ilutert 0.
Smith, of the Third ward, was called uportio pre
side. Mr. Smith, on taking the chair, said that as
it was past the time named in the oall for the
meeting, ho presumed that the parties who called
it did not intend to come, so that he felt warranted
in accepting the honor to preside. Ile made a
short address, denouncing the conduct of the per
sons who called the meeting, charging upon them
that they were endeavoring to make use of the
Bell and Everett party to advance the interests of
the Republican party. Hie remarks were greeted
with much applause, and vociferous cheers were
given for Henry D. Foster. This was followed by
the reading of the following resolutions, which
were adop'e'l with much unanimity:
Whereas. Certain penmen, pretending to be identified
with the Bell and .r.vgrett Party, have aeon prover to
call a meeting to condemn the notion of the Union City
.P.xectu•ive Committee, be it
Resolved. That we, the Bell and Everett citizens of
Plidadelphia. in mass meeting eszemb'ed, cannot fail to
view thin oail otherwut• than as a weak invention of the
enemy, intended to betray the honest, conservative ci
tizens into the support of a sectional candidate, as well
an to dear ve our friends throughout the cum,.
Besa4z , rd. That we heartily endorse the course of the
City Fxeeutive Committee, and pledge ourselves to
auction it D. Foster whom we deem a man capable,
and in every respect wor by our 61 1inatee.
There were I^.o speakers present and after the
resolutions were disposed of, a motion was made to
adjourn, which was carried, without opposition
The crowd remained, however, for some time,
cheering, groaning, and making all manner of
noises, till nearly ton o'olook, when they sepa
rated.
Daring the evening, a personal altercation took
place between Mr. Grayson, brother of the editor
of the Evening Journal. and Morris Harding,
brother of the proprietot of the Philadelphia In
quire, in the course of which it is allogeel Mr.
Harding was struck by Mr. Grayson on the head.
The wound was not serious, although the blood
flowed freely. This occurred about midway of the
main walk, while the meeting was in progress.
Mr Harding subsequently obtained a warrant
against Mr Grayson, to answer the charge of as.
1311UI t and battery.
We understand that David Paul Drown, Esq.,
was so irritated by observing his name appended
to the call for the 8011-Curtin meeting that ho has
determined to vote for Fester.
IMPORTANT TO DRIVERS CP DRAYS AND
CARTS —On Saturday morning, Chief of Pollee
Samuel G. Ruggles called the attention of the
lieutenants of police to the practice indulged in
by drivers of (farts, drays, and other vehicles, of
following each other up so closely as to render it
imposeiblo for foot passengers to cross the streets
until these vehicular processions have passed by.
There is an ordinance which forbids this abuse,
and which requires that all vehicles shall keep ten
feet apart. Sho chief directed that this ordinance
EllOUlti be strictly enforced, and that officers who
fail to see to the enforcement shall be reported.
The police complain that some of the aldermen
will not aid them in the execution of the law, and
in this way they are crippled. The regulation is
a most wholesome one, and the imposition of a fine
of five dollars, the legal penalty, would tend to
break up the nuisance.
BIGIIWAY ASSMMT.-011 Saturday eve
ning, a man was picked up at Second and Walnut
streets, in an insensible condition. Stimulants be

HOUSE --The sale of tioketa for the operatics per-
formanee to be given at the Academy dished°, on
Wednesday evening next, In honor of Baron Ben
frew, took place on Saturday morning. Before the
hcur fixed for the opening of the doors, at ten
o'clock in the morning, there was a crowd of two
or three hundred men in waiting. It WAS a carious
-1 looking crowd, and one would judge, from the looks
of come of them, that they would have done more
justice to themselves by investing their surplus
ORSI in purchasing a suitable wardrobe, than in
spending it for opera tickets. But this was only a
superficial view of thecae°. The stout able-hi:idled,
laboring men, and the unmistakable "rough" wore
there, no: to buy tickets for themselves, bat were
hired for thj occasion by others, to do the " rough
and tumbling" necessary to secure half a dozen
of the coveted seats. Porters employed in stereo,
hostlers, and men servants of our private citizens,
were aide by aide with the kid gloved exquisite,
with eyeglass over his nose, all struggling,. push

mass. All social distinctions were forgotten in
the desire to see who should get-into the deaf

In the little opening. They push forward ; those
on the outer steps put their shoulders to the nastier
extremities of those above them, hoping by that
means to gain the inside more speedily. Themass
moves tip the steps, when suddenly the door was
shut with a loud "slam." Then the relation
came. Those who had compressed themselves in
to the mintiest possible spans, began to "spread
out," to take breath, and sketch their limbs for
another eft' wt. This caused Ois outer stratum of
the crowd to make a sodded move down the
steps, to the imminent danger. of damaging
their limbs or breaking their necks by an unlucky
fall. Some, to save thenieelvee trom falling,
grasped the clothing on the persons of those nearest
them, and the consequence was, thew followed
some tearing, not a little profanity, al,fl dire
threats of , 4 parching the bead" of the untlucky
offender, if he did it again. But a time likeahle
was too precious to be spent in quarreling, for if A
man lost his temper, and got in a "muss, the next
minute the-door might be opened and he would
lose his chance of get - tine in. So, many threats of
terrible vengeance ware postponed till a more
favorable opportunity.
On the inside, in the vestibule, a temporary
railway had been erected, which extended along.

north aide, affording room for only one person to
pass at a time Not a little excitement was occa
sioned by persons trying to shove ahead of those in
advance, in order to be waited on first. A po

to his place, and made every one 4 . wait till his
turn come." In this way the line was formed in
aide, while those outside waited patiently, in SOWS
oases for two or three hours, before they were ac
commodated. As soon an those inside had been
supplied,. and made their exit, the entrance door
would be opened, and the same rush would occur
'as described in the first of this article Thus it
continued till 4 o'clock in the afternoon, when all
the seats in the house had been sold, excepting those
in the amphitheatre, or fourth tier. Many of the
parties who obtained tickets; sold them again im
mediately afterwards at an advance of one hun
dred per cent., while others held on to them,
hoping to realize a still further advance.
The reoeiga on Saturday alone reached $3,700.
The committee of arrangements took six hundred.
tickets, at $3 each, before this. so that the re
ceipts thus far have bean $5,500, leaving the
" standee " and amphitheatre ckets yet to be
disposed of.
An'other Banner—The
REPLY OF F. W. GRAYSON, OF THE :'EVE
NINO JOURNAL," TR A R. Mc°Lone —We pub
lished, in Saturday's Press, a speech of A. R. Me
(Mere, made on Friday evening, attacking Mr.
Grayson, of the .Eveninz Journal, for hie course..
in opoesing Colonel Curtin. Mr. Grayson made a •
lengthy reply to Mr. McClure, in Saturday's
Journal, in which be explains the oharge of at
tempted bargain and sale, which was =Weeping
him. We extract the following paragraphs:
"Several weeks ago, a gentleman—a personal
friend—in an interview which he sought, asked
me whether I could not advocate the election of
Colonel Curtin. I said, in reply, that while my
feelings towards Colonel Curtin, personally, were
friendly, I did not see how I could, consistently,
advocate his election, in view of the fact that he
had in his speeches and otherwise avowed his sym
pathy and 00-oporation with a political party which
I had opposed, and was still oppesiog. My friend,
la this conversation, also stated what, but for the
necessity Mr. McClure has placed me under to
disclose the fags in my own defence against his
base misrepresentatians, I would not now repeat.
lie told me that he was authorized, in considera
tion of my advooacy of Col.' Curtin, to pay me a
check for $1,500. and that in the event of his elec
tion, I should be paid an additional check for the
sums amount. I did not, for the reason already
expressed, accept the proposition. In a sub.
sequent interview, with the same person, a few
days afterwards, I said that the Journal, under
my ownership and editorial charge, could not,
without compromising my personal honor, espouse'
the cause - of the Republican party, whir& was in
volved in the success or defeat of its candidates. I
then added that while that pasty could not buy me
as its editor, they might buy the paper for twenty
odd thousand dollars—ten thousand of which might
possibly be paid by a surrender of notes to that
=want given to the gentlemen who had subscribed
the capital to start the paper, Many of
whore were acting with the Republloans, and
would probably release their claims against me
towards the purchase of the paper by that party.
It is necessary to say here that I had for two
y ears before been making efforts to sell the Jour
nal, simply because it was not in my bands a pay
ing paper, or one that I could long hold, and I
here iu alt that interval been anxious to diaper*
et it, not for say own profit, but only to repay to
those who had advanced it an unlitlnidated balance
of the capital land "
Mr. Grayson further says : I never received a
dollar from the "Republican," or any other party,
for advocating its cause Or the Cause of any Inds
victual candidate. I never sought Mr. McClure,
his agents, or any other person or persons, with
any proposition to sell the principles and influence
of the Journal or its editor for any party. I have
declined such propositions more than once, ca I
have shown, and I defy any proof, mere credible
than Mr. McClure's word, to convict me of a sin
gle instance of such prostitution.

QUARTER SESSIONE—Judges Thompson
and Ludlow —The business trausaoted In the
Quarter Sessions on Saturday was confined to the
sentence of William Auld, oonvicted of arson In
firing his store and dwelling, No 1714 Market
street, on the night of the lith of July last. Mr.
Win. a Bull, ono of the counsel engaged for the
defence, craved theimerey of the court for his
client, who if guilty, bad certainly shown such a
character as had not beau exhibited in any court
of Justioe, and Judge Ludlow, who passed the sen
tence, said the Court desired to deal mercifully
with the prisoner. After a most careful review of
all the evidence. he had gen; still further, and
sent for ono of the witneases, and desired him to
repeat his evidence ; and with all gee light before
the court, it was impossible to come to any other
conclusion but that the prisoner was guilty. The
fact that the prisoner hod borne a good character
seemed to tell against him, as he had, turned his
back on influences which were religious as well es
moral. His guilt was aggravated, becau'o he pro
fessed to be governed not only by moral but by re
ligious principles, and yet he committed an offence
which came near sending.him to court on a charge
of triple murder.
Auld was then sentenced to an imprisonment of
ten years in the Eastern Penitentiary. He ap
peared perfectly calm and unmoved at the pas
sage of thitr sentence; but his wife, who sat in
front of the dock, bowed her bead, and although
there was no land demonstrations of grief, it was
evident that she suffered greatly.

current motion list was taken up.
