8t. Albuto, VT.,Aug, 25.—The Itepub-
lioau rally to-night was largely attended,
bat a heavy thouder storm interfered with
the original arrangement* and the pro
posed ittemina iou. Hon. William A.
Wheeler Arrived by a special train from
White Mountains at 4:15. On his arrival
a salute araa fired. At 9 p. tr he was sere
naded by the St. "Albans Brigade Band.
Mr. Wheeler appeared on the balcony of
the hotel, and was greeted with tremen
dous cheers. He was introduced by Ed
ward A.Bmith as one of the noblest states
men of the Bepnblio. Mr. Wheeler spoke
as follows : •
“Uepublioans of St. Albans: You honor
the course of whioh I just now am a
prominent representative. I was placed
in nomination as the Uepnblican nomi
nee for Vice President in the nation
al convention by the action of the Stales
of Vermont and Massachusetts. It is the
greatest honor of my life, that the ltepub-
lioans of these States deem me suflioieutly
grounded in Mew England faith to be one
of the representatives of their ideas in the
pending canvass. [Applause.] In the
matter of my faith, 1 trust that they have
made no raistako. [Applause.] I believe
iu New England, 1 believe in Ply month
ltock, for they are convertible terms.
One of the must gifled of Mew England
women has said that Plymouth Hook is no
quartz. It is a perfect Btona, cut out of
the mountain without hands, and hands
cannot prevent it from becoming a great
mountain, filliug the whole earth. Every
ohuroh, every school houso, every town
house from the Atlantio to the Paoifio has
Plymouth ltock for its foundation atone.
Whenever freedom aims a musket or
raises a standard or Bings a song, makes
a protest, there is Plymouth ltook,
freedom, the ohuroh, the Boboolhouse.the
town house. These my friends form the
very oardinal principles of the Itepublioan
party. I have often thought and often
said that the Commonwealth of Vermont
composes and illustrates the complete re
alisation of the highest ideal of a ltepub
lioan form of Qovernment. Where else
can you find such general intelligence? It
ia the result of your free popular system
of education. Where is there so much of
fidelity and economy in the administra
tion of Stale affairs, where so much re-
and allthe people as in the
speot for the oivil rights of each
State of Vermont? It is the mission
of the Republican party to confer upon
all the people of this oountry, in all the
States and in all the Territories, the ines
timable privileges which you in Vermont
enjoy. It is a duty to which, in this Cen
tennial year of our nation, we ought to
address ourselves with renewed attention
and fidelty.
TUB BKBEL DEMOCRACY.
I have no purpose here to-night, my
friends, to recall the memorable con
flict through whioh this nation has pass -
ed, and whioh made American afma for
ever illustrious; but let us never forget
the obligations resting upon us to secure
the results of that great eonfliot for our
selves and those who follow after ns. Never
my friends, were these obligations more
apparent and imperative than now. We
are already engaged in another conflict
with the opponents of the party which
saved the nation, and whioh to-day pro -
teots its integrity and guards its honor as
in I860. We are once more, my friends,
face to face with a united South, with the
Democratic party of the North as its sub
servient and pliant ally. In every late
slave State in the Union where this Con
federate party is dominant, it claims
and may reoeive 180 votes in
who periled his life on the field of battle—
a modest man, a plain man, a man who
has evinoed great ability in his adminis
tration of affairs in the great State of
Ohio. Under ilayes the Republican party
will achieve a new triumph. [Applause.]
Vermont's duty.
What shall be your duly in this oan-
vass? I will tell you, freemen of Vermont,
what. I know the Democrats are making
treat efforts to reduoe the Republican ma
jority in this State. Will you permit
this, friends? [Voioee, “No,” “Mo.*] The
banner of Vermont was never yet trailed
on tho battle-field. Lot your ballots pro
tect the work so effectually done by your
bayonets at Oettysbnrg and on many a field
of strife, as you value good government,
as yon value the sacrifices of the past, as
you hope for the future; let your devotion
to the cause of the Union be proved by
your ballots on the first Tuesday of No
vember next. May the star whioh never
sets beam with new effulgence to light the
other States to victory. [Ureat and pro
longed applause.]
SPEAKER "KETR’I FUNERAL.
the electoral college. It has com
plete control of the Lower House
and the balance of power in the Senate,
There is not to day in those late slave
States any man bolding a prominent posi
tion who was not identified in the great
straggle against the Government. Not
even in the State of Kentucky can yon
find a man in any position who was not
engaged on the rebel aide. This is the
condition of the South to-day. I have
sat for months daring the last winter in
Congress by the side of sixty-one men
who, a few years ago, with arms in their
hands, were engaged in an attempt to
break up the government. Now, I have
heard those men defend the hellish atro-
oities of Libby, and Andersonville, and
Salisbury. I have heard Lincoln maligned,
I have heard defendod the right of a Vir
ginia justice of the peace to detain and
open the mails of the United States.
THE SOUTH.
Can you tell mo where is the difference
in the spite which, twenty years ago, led
Missouri border ruflianB into Kansas and
the massacre at Hamburg, where a regu
larly organized militia oompany were first
disarmed and then murdered in cold blood,
in order that the white race might assert
their superiority. My official relations
have oalled me daring the past two or
three years into the Southern Btates, and
I tell you what I know, my friends, of the
real feeling of tho Southern people re-
garding the reconstruction acts.
They regard the amendments to the
Constitution in reference to slavery and
the laws for the protection of freedmeu
as the Frenoh provinces did their oesaion
to Russia at the point of the bayonet. It
is to the South, my friends, with thiB
spirit and with the Democratic party at
the North ns its pliant ally, that we aro
naked to turn over the Government of the
United States, with all its power of leg
islation, and with all ita machinery of
taxation. No suoh proposition for audao-
ity has its parallel in the history of the
oountry.
THE OLD ISSUES.
What is the spirit of the Demooratio
e ? Do you want to prove what the
wratic party of the North still is.
Go to Washington and see fifty soldiers,
crippled in the service of the Union,
turned out of the Honse to make room
for as many Rebel soldiers. This is tho
evidenoe of the spirit of Northern Democ
racy. My friends, we confront the old
issue. Yon muat not underrate the
strength of the South and its allies in the
North. You ask me if it can be avoided.
I tall yon, yes; it can be avoided in the
old way and in the old way only.
HAYES THE HERO.
You must not underrate the strength of
this allianoe. I have an abiding faith
that the conscience of the nation will be
anffloiantly awakened to avert this great
paid, under tba lead of the gallant Hayes,

AN UNUSUALLY LABOR PROOnSSION OF VA
RIOUS bOOIKTIES.
Nf.w Albany, Ind., Aug. 25.—To-day
all the business houses in the oity were
closed as a tokou of respect to tbe dead
Speaker, and nearly tbe eutiro population
were on the afreets, either taking part in
the ceremonies or witnessing the graud
pageant, whioh was formed by the various
societies in the city.
THE PROCESSION.
At the appointed hour the various or
ganizations moved on to Spring street,
taking their places in the liue assigned
them by tbe Chief Marshal, Gen. Scrib
ner. There were about twenty of these
societies, including Masons, Odd Fellows,
workingmen, the German societies, tho
St. Patrick’s Benevolent Societies, Socie
tie FrancAise, and many others, with tho
members of the bar in this city and Louis
ville, Jeffersonville and New Albany, the
Congressional escort from Washington
State officers and other dignitaries from
abroad. The procession was one of the
largest ever witnessed in this section of
tho country, and was only exceeded by
the funeral procession of Gov. Willard,
when a large body of the military of Ken
tuoky and Indiana took part. The ar
rangements were most admirable and
everything satisfactory. Many of the
houses along the line of maroh were heav
ily draped in black, testifying to the es
teem in whioh the honored dead was held
by the community. During the move
ments of the procession the belli of the
oity were tolled, and the streets on both
sides were crowded with people, moving
in the direction of the family mansion.
THE FUNERAL SERVICES.
Upon the arrival of the procession at
the house it was halted, when tbe funeral
services were performed—ltev. 8. Conn,
of the First Presbyterian ohuroh, preach
ing the discourse from Proverbs xxii, 1.
Tbe sermon was a feeling and touching
ooe, and when referring to the life and
character of tbe deceased, and tbe purity
of character which he ever maintained,
there were audible sobs from many pres
ent. Tho preacher paid a most eloquent
tribute to the character of the deceased
as he hnd learned from tho people who
had associated with Mr. Kerr during his
entire life in the city. ltev. Mr. Hutchin
son, of the Third Presbyterian church,
assisted Mr. Conn in tbe services, after
the close of which tho burial case contain
ing the remains wero removed, and the
line of march was taken up and proceeded
to the solemn music of half a dozen bands
to the Northern Cemetery.
AT THE ORAVE.
The burial rites of the Masonic frater
nity were recited by the officers of Jeffer
son Lodge, No. 104, of whioh he was a
member. The grounds in which Mr.
Kerr is buried adjoin those where Gov.
Willard is entombed, and in one of the
most conspicuous and beautiful spots in
the cemetery.
The tomb of Miahaol C. Kerr will be
come the shrine at whioh the lovers of
truth, honor and courage will kneel in the
future.
Among the attendants upon the cere
monies wree Gov. Hendricks and several
State officials and a large number of eiti
zens of Indiana, Gen. Ekiu, of the staff
of the Department of the South, and a
number of distinguished citizens of Ken
tuoky.

Mr. Everts’ position on the question of
the political use of the military in tbe
Sonth is so positive and his opposition to
that policy so marked and determined,
that to ask him to become a candidate of
a party whioh resorts to so scandalous a
measure to keep itself iu power, would be
an insult to him. No man in our com
munity took stronger grounds against, or
condemned in more severe terms, the
oalling in of the military for political pur
poses in Louisiana at the begiuuing of
the year 1875, than did Mr. Evarts. He
took his position publicly, and gave utter
ance to his couviotions as a citizen and a
lawyer in distinct and emphatic condem
nation of the action of the Administration.
His convictions then are of course his
convictions now, strengthened by events.
The official announcement that tho Re
publican party relies upon the military to
carry the elections is sufficient to strike
tho name of Mr. Evarts from the list of
available or possible Republican nominees
for tho Governorship of New York.

THE FOUNDATION OF IIIH FORTUNE.
Now York Sun.J
A gentleman who has known Peter
Cooper ever since ho came to the oity,and
is personally cognizant of the business
reverses aud successes of the iutlatiou
candidate for the Paesidency, said a few
days ago in conversation:
A great many people seem to think that
Peter Cooper was always successful, and
that every thing ho ever attempted turned
out profitable. ;This is not so. Mr. Coop
er baa a hard row to hoe when he first
came here from the oountry. A tail, raw
boned young mau with any amount of
energy, but the most Quixotic ideas. He
was full of them, however, and some
led to disappointment, others to prosper!
ty.
He sarted a grocery about whore the
Cooper Institute stands now, with all
kinds of truck iu front, and a neat little
room in tho rear. All groceries sold
whiskey in those days, ami nothing was
thought of it. His wife tended tho store,
dioHHod in a homespun pottiooat, with
white cotton short gown. The concern
was very popular, aud Peter made coosid
arable money. Then oue of his brilliant
progressive ideas took possession of him,
and ho went to work with a will to exe
cute it.
His scheme was to provido rapid transit
from the foot of Ortley street (East Eighth
street now) to n point where Bellevue
Hospital now stauds. There is a clear
stretch ofjwaterfrom ouepoint to the other
aud Peter thought a ferry-boat, run by an
endless chain would be very profitable.
He bought a great ferry boat, purchased
au enormous chain about two miles iu
length, and startod business. At first the
concern was a great novelty, and was well
patronized. But by-aud-by accidents
happened, by which the farmers and peo^
pie naing the ferry-boat were detained in
the river. Tho traffic grew lighter, aud
one fine morning the sheriff pounced
down or all of Poter Cooper's possessions.
The next day he took a walk early in
the morning out of town, up where the
Murray HUl residences now stand. In
the midst of a pasture stood the old pow
der-house, used for the storage of ammu
nition during the revolution. He thought
what a fine building it would be to occu-
jy for the manufacture of glue. He went
some, consulted his wife, got his break
fast, and, calling upon some of his
friends, obtained tbe requisite moans.
In that place the foundation of his im
mense fortune was laid, and when the
growth of tho metropolis obliged him to
abandon the building aa a glue factory,
he was a very wealthy man.

about thirty-three miles from Ludlow,

quarters of a mile a day. Three eugin-
*«er* and construction trains are employed.
Oue is used on the Ohio river incline to
draw up ties and rails from tho boats to
the maiu track. One runs between Lud
low and Crittenden, and the other tie
tween Critteudou aud the end of the
track. The trains on the maiu line each
make two trips u day aud run on schedule
time. Three hundred men aro employed
on tbe trains, iu truck layiug and iu re
pairs to the grade, where slides have
occurred. It is expected that there
will bo no difficulty in haviug
the track complete between Cin
cinnati and Lexington this fall. The
track betweeu Nicholasville and the Ken
tucky river, a little over ten miles, was to
have been completed .last night. This
will allow tbe carriage by rail oi materials
for the Kentucky river bridge, the uiaHoury
of which is te tie finished by September
15th. At south Danville, where there is
an engiue aud traiu, about tea aud a
quarter miles of rails have been laid.
Delay is caused there by difficulty in get
ting a sufficient quantity of traok-laymg
materials, plenty of rails and ties for all
demauds are coiuiug in at the Cincinnati
end of the road, though the supply of
iron joints has at times Loen a little snort.

H. V. R., in tho Cincinnati Commercial.1
The wreck and ruin brought upon the
RepublioAn cause in tho South by tho civ
il rights bill can never be estimated, in
North Carolina and Tennessee alone it
lost the Republicans ten Cougrestuieu !
I seriously doubt whether the Democrats
would hold Congress to-day but for the
votes they made out of that measure.
Talk about intimidation, violence and
fraud ! Much as there has been of these,
the injury to the Republican cause in the
Sonth from all these, and shot gun argu
ments thrown iu, does not comparo with
the disasters worked out by the Civil
Rights bill. It caused a revolution, and
gave every doubtful Southern State to
tbe whites, and they will hold the advan
tage gaiued through the stupidity ol the
Republicans in Congress. But for that
measure Alabama aud North Carolina
would to-day be emphatically Republican,
to say nothing of other Southern States
and the election of Hayes would not be
involved in the doubt that it is.

LONDON TIMES ON THE BULGARIAN ATROl
TIES.
London, August 28.—The Times has 1
editorial ou tho Bulgariuu utrooitios,
whioh concludes: Mr. Boring's report and
the testimony of other official witnesses
will have much practical value during tho
negotiations whioh niUHt follow the close
of tho Servian war. They will give this
country a good opportunity of clearly de
fining the position it holds with respect
both to Turkey and the Great Powers. It
has beeu said that the Turkish ministers
are careless of English remonstrance, be
cause they think Euglund will and must
support Turkey, however llugrautly she
may be misruled, aud hence it is nrguud
that sho is indirectly accountable for tho
Bulgarian massacres; but it is difficult to
believe that so baseless au idea can mis
lead tho men who direct tho Turkish Em
pire. They know little of this country, if
they thiuk it could coodouo such
atrocities as those of Bulgaria. Like
some other States, it has an interest in
Turkey, aud it would bo deplorable not to
see hor strong, without beiug well gov
erned, and she will never be well govern
ed till she has reviewed many parts of
her present system. Turkish misrule
means weakness, recurring rebellion aud
foreign war. It carries with it n uietinnce
to the whole of Europe. This country
will ho ready to joiu other States in devis
ing such reforms as will protect Chris
tians, a part of the population, without
regarding the convenience of tho Porte.
