ANTI-TAMMANY TO BE REJECTED AND A NEW STATE TIOKET NOMINATED. Albany, October 3.—D. 13. Hill was cboseu temporary chairman. A large number were unable to enter the hail. Thirty-seven Tammany and’ 26 anti- 'l'ammany delegates were admitted to seats on the floor pending the contest. WHAT AUGUSTUS SCHELL HAD TO SAX. A ooinmitteo, of whioli Augustus Sohell was one, wsb appointed to oonduot Hill to the chair. Schell said: Mr. Chairman, I feel honored and com plimented by the notioe you have taken of me in recognizing me as a delegate to thiB Convention. 1 regret to say, howev er, that I am informed that poisons not connected with any regular organization, who have no standing in the Democratic party, have been recognized by the State General Committee, and appointed dele gales. 1 must decline the honor nntil my title to a seat shall have been passed upon by the Convention. Mr. Schell is a Tammany delegate from New York. ANTI-TAMMANYITKS TO BE REJECTED AND A NEW STATE TICKET TO WIN. Albany, N. V., Ootober 3.—To-day's proceedings in the Demooralio Gonven tion are considered to have made two poiutB clear: First, That the anti-Tammany men from New York City will bo allowed no position whatever in the Convention; and second, that those who favor a new State ticket will carry their point. The Tammany men are outspoken in declaring that party policy, discipline, and organization forbid farther parleying with tactions, and that there mast now be a square issue between the supporters of the regulur and of irregular organiza tion. Tne known sentiment of a large majority of the committee on contested seals renders it certain that they will re port unqualifiedly in favor of seating the Tammany and excluding the anti-Tam many delegates. * Allen C. Beach still seems to be the fa vorite for the nomination for Secretary of State. To Olcott’s re-nomination for Comptroller there is no oppoaition, and Koss’ nomination for State Treasurer ap pears to be nearly as well assured. The nominee for Attorney Geneial apparently must bo taken Bust of Albany, and Schoonmaker, of Ulster, is freely named. Jno. B. Haskin is also mentioned as a possible candidate. PARKE GODWIN MAKES A TELLING BPEECH. Spool.) to Enquirer-Sun.] Albany, October 3.—Parke Oodwin, of Queens, was substituted for Mr. Sohell. He said the Demooratio party honorably and fairly carried a majority of the eleo- toral votes in the last Presidential elec tion, but it has been basely deprived of the frnils of that viotory, and the Ameri can people are, for the ilrst time, witness ing the speotaole of an Administration in possession of the Federal Government which was repudiated by a majority of over a quarter of a million of its eleotors. This Btrange result was accomplished by means of corruption most foul, and fraud most atrooious. Bather than plunge the country into civil strife, and disorganize and destroy all its business interests, the Democracy of the country chose to quietly submit to the outrage, but no lapse of time, no more silenae, no speoious plea that the result was finally aooomplished through the forms of law, can obsoure the enormity of the act or excuse or justify, and it will go down into bistory as the most flagrant usurpation of modern times. But while the present Administration obtained its power by un lawful means, and while its tenure may well be questioned, yet during the short period of its existence it has ex posed the error of the policy which its party has pursued ever Bince the dose of the war. It has partially adopted the policy of conciliation and local self-gov ernment, which the Demooratio party has for the past ten years insisted upon, and it has endeavored to win the approval of the people by promising the very course whioh last fall we demanded should be promised. Every position in referenoe to the South ern question, whioh we assumed, has been justified and affirmed by its adop tion by our opponents. It has oast i shadow upon its own title by recognizing these very State Governments, whioh in order to obtain its power it had been obliged to repudiate and overthrow. Its course has justified the wisdom and states manship of the Democratic policy towards the South. The Demooratio party will interpose no partisan obstruction to the oarrying out of its own policy by its op> ponents. We will uphold the noting President in all his honeBt efforts to paci fy the country and to restore fraternal teeling among all the people, and we, too, with Mr. Curtis, will bid him “God speed in the good work." The President need have no fears from us, but bis great danger is ooming from his own political household. [KELLEY LEADS MORRISSEY. A vote in the Convention giving the approximate strength of Kelley vs. Mor rissey resulted in 169 to 114 in favor of Tammany.

WHAT HE TBINK8 OF THE “STALWARTS”— BAYES’ POLICY—TOO SOON FOR 1880—THE POLICY CANNOT FAIL. Baltimore, September 21).—Alexander H. Stephens, who was in Baltimore to day en route for New York, remarked iu oonrse of a conversation on political snb- jeots that he had every oonfidenoe in Mr. Hayes and his motives with regard to his Southern policy, and regretted that he oould not meet the President when in Georgia. Mr. Stephens was interrogated as to what in hiB opinion would be tho oourae pursued by disaffected Republi cans, including Messrs. Blaine and Conk* ing. He stated that he never expected either Blaine or Conk- ling to give the President their cordial support, and thonght that, although they would not openly assail him, they would withhold their support and endeavor to keep on tbe inner track of party organi* zation for future use. The subject of the probable effect of the President’s policy on the elections of 1880 was touched ou in the course of an interview, but Mr. Stephens stated that it was too soon to foretell any results. “One thiug,though, I oau say,” he added, “it will extinguish all seotioual questions and feelings, and people will divide on internal questions and polioies entirely.” In reply to a question as to whether the policy of the President in failing would oause a split in his party, Mr. Stephens made the following reply : “Mr. Hayes’ policy oannot fail. It is the policy of tho Oonstitntion of the United States, and is based and planted on the foundation and principles upon whioh tho great Amerioan Federal ltepablic stands, and on whioh alone this grand matchless system of gov ernment can be harmoniously aud pros perously administered. Thcro will, doubt* less, bo many disaffected Republicans who will fail to sanction his policy, and who will in all probability keep up an organi zation Against it, but the entire Democ racy and a large majority of tho Republic cans of the country will sustain it. The people of the United States are devoted to the institutions of their fathers, and yearn for the restoration of that good government under whioh the country was so happy and prosperous for so many years. ” GRANT AND SHAKESPEARE. THE EX-PRESIDENT RECEIVED WITH HONORS AT THE BIRTHPLACE OF THE GREAT POET. London, September 28.—General Grant arrived at Stratford-on-Avon to-day and met with a splendid reoeption. His visit was made the oooasiou of a festival, iu whioh the whole town took part. The houses were decorated with flags, among whioh the Amerioan colors wore oonHpio • uona. The Stars and Stripes woro dis played from tbe town hall aud the Mayor’s reaidenoe. The Mayor aud members of the corporation received tbe General and Mrs. Grant at tbe railway station and es corted them to Shakespeare’s birtbplaoo. Thenoe tho party proceeded to the Museum the Ohurch, Anne Hathaway’s cottage and other places of interest. The distinguished visitors were subsequently entertained at a public lunch in the town hall. A toast to the health of General Grant was pro posed and drank with ohoers, and he was presented with a very oordial address, en closed iu a casket made from wood of the mulberry tree planted by Shakespeare. The General, replying to the toast, spoke most heartily of the welcome given him.

A., iu tho Philurioliiliia Weokly Titnon.] Only a short time before General Grant crossed the Rapidan, in tho spring of 1864, Gen. Lee said to me : “If I oould do so—nufortuuately I oannot—I would again orosB the Potomao and invade Penn sylvania. I believe it to bo our true policy, notwithstanding the failuro of last year. An invasion of tho enemy’s coun try breaks up all of his preconceived plans, relievos our country of his presence, and wo subsist while there ou his resources. Tho question of food for this army givos me more trouble and uneasiness than everything else combined ; tho absonce of the army from Virgiuia gives our people an opportunity to collect sup plies ahead. Tho legitimate fruits of n victory, if gained in Pennsylvania, could be more readily, reaped than ou our own soil. We would have been in a few days’ march of Philadelphia, and the occupa tion of that oity would have given us peace.” It is vory difficult for any one not connected with tho Army of Nortborn Vir ginia to realize bow straightened wo woro for supplies of all kinds, especially food. Tho ration of a general officor was double that of a private, and so meagre was that double supply that frequently to appease my hunger I robbed my horse of a hand ful of corn, which, parched in tho fire, served to allay the cravings of nature. What must havo been the condition of the private ? In spoakiug of the fight of tho 3d of July nt Gettysburg, Gonoral Leo said : I shall over believe if General Pondor had remainod ou his horse half au hour longer, wo would have carried the enemy’s position. After Pondor fell the command of his division devolved on an officer unknown to the division; honoe the fuilnre of Pickett’s receiving the sup port of this division. Loss was heavy at Gettysburg; but in my opiuion no groator than it would have been from tho Horios of battleH I would havo been compelled to tight had I remainod in Virginia.” Gen. Lee,” says Mnj. Seddou, “then rose from his seat, and with an emphatic gesture snid, and, sir, wo did whip them at Gettysburg, and it will bo soot! for the next four months that that army will be as quiet as a sucking dove.” Tho army of tho Potomao muciono aggressive move vnnut, saving tho fiasco known as Mine Run, from the 3d of July, 1863, until General Grant crossed tho Rapidan in May 1864, precisely ton months after ward. The failure to oniHh tho Fedornl nrmy in Pennsylvania in 1863, iu tho opinion of almost all tho officers of the army Northern Virginia, can bo expressed in five words—the absence of our cavalry. A RUNNING BKETGH OF THE CRIMINALS. Special to tho Picayune.] Washington, Oct. 1.—The conviction of Sawyer, Haines and Brooks for con* spiracy to obtain payment of a spurious ootton olaim against tho Unitod States has made a great sensation. The pnnishmeut is by fine and irapris* onment in the penitentiary. Sawyer was the first oarpot-bng Senator from South Carolina and was put in by the Radicals to fill the seat of Culboun and McDuffie. Grant made him assistant Secretary of the Treasury. Brooks has been notorious around Washington for a long timo pushing claims, and was mixed up with the fa mous Mrs. Beuton is getting tho Govern ment to adopt a patent seal lock for bonded cars. Haines was Commissioner of Customs under the Grant regime, and as such con trolled tbe settlement of many millions of pnblio money and all tho customs ao- oounts. They did not expect to bo convicted, and when tho verdict was brought in Saw yer cried like a child. He is said to havo been nsed in all tho jobs, aud yet to have pocketed very little of the plunder. L. Q W. A Nil AKP FIGHT. CRAZY HORNE BAYONETED. THE FIRST REPORT OF THE MANNER OF HIS DEATH VERIFIED BY A SOLDIER WHO WAS ONE OF HIB GUARDS. From the Schoharie (N. Y.) Republican, Sep tember 27.J Edwin D. Wood, son of Francisoo Wood, proprietor of Wood’s Hotel, who belongs to the army aud was present at the capture and killing of the Indian chief, Crazy Horse, writes an interesting letter to his father. Mr. Wood hau been iu the army nearly five years, his time being out next December. During all that time he has been in the Indian coun try; has been in several hard-fongbt bat tles and oomes ont without a scratch. We make the following extracts: Camp Robinson, Neil, Sept. 16, 1877.— Dear Father—I received your letter dated August 21, and was glad to hear that you were all well. We have had considerable excitement here within the last two weeks on account of Crazy Horse. Wo started out on the 4lh of this month with eight companies of the Third cavalry, to bring him aud his band into tho agoucy, but did not succeed in capturing him. Tho next day he was brought iu by a lot of friendly Iudians who are enlisted aud paid as soldiers. There were also a number of his own warriors with him. Wbeu the carriage drove to tbe guardhouse Crazy Horse got out and walked a short distance; then refused to go in. Then the struggle began. The guard surrounded him and one of (hemstabbed him with a bayonet. He was then taken into the Adjutant's oifioe, where he died in about mx hour There are all sorts of rumors about tho way he was killed. Some of tbe papers say he stabbed himself; others say bo was killed by another Indian called Little Big Man; bat I was one of tho guard myself and was there when bo was stabbed, and know tbe man who did it. I think this was the only thing that saved a row, be cause there were a great many Indians there at that time, and one shot would havo been sufficient to start a tight.

Mr. Editor : Seeing that the New York Journal of Commerce, has given its read ers snoh a meagre, unprofitable sketch of the Bank of the United States I would be glad if you would try your hand at a sketch of the progress of (hat noble insti tution. I do not recollect anything about the first bank, bnt after I came to be old enough to notice snoh things I recollect hearing much said about the great ser vices rendered tho Government and coun try by Robert Morris (I think that was tho name of its President) in conducting the business of the bank, but as regards tho bank ohartered during Mr. Madison’s administration in 1816, I can toll some things from my momory whioh, perhaps, would interest the readers of the Journal of Commerce, and others. I recollect that the bank acted as fiscal agent for the Government nearly tbe whole time for whioh it was chartered, collecting a good deal of money, keeping it safely, trans ferring the pnblio funds to any point where the Government needed them, Ac., without one dollar of expense to the Gov ernment, and, in addition to this, paid the Government a large bonus for the privi lege of using tho surplus revenue. There was no defalcations; not a dollar lost du- ing the whole timo. The bank at the some time furnishing us the best money we have over had. It was worth more than yold. The bank never suHpeuded at all, nor do I believe it ever would. Why should we run on the bank for specie, when its bills were worth more than oven gold? The Journal of Commerce says, President Jackson took strong grounds aguiust tho bank in 1821). I wish the character of the strong grounds had boon specified. I hope the Editor doeB not know, for surely if he did, he would never mention them as strony grounds any more. Mr. Madison’s veto in 1815 is mentioned, bnt nothing is said about his signing tho charter in 1816. I don’t be lieve we ever shall have as prosperous tirnos any more as wo had during tho exis~ tonco of that bank. Ilow can wo expect anything olse, bat hard times aud panics as long as tho wretched sub-treasury sys tem is continued, and such large earns of gold are kept looked up in its vanits ? Respectfully, W. Marion County, Ga., 20th Septem ber, 1877. Mr. Hayes was very much pleased with his visit to Virginia. Bnt, according to the Boston Olobe, his Secretary of State did not tally appreciate the beautieH of the whiskey bell-punch. Iudeed, that veracious journal reports that Mr. Everts said ho didn’t see why in thnnder, when an individual, journeying through the Old Dominion for diplomatic purposes, thought fit to approach an establishment dealing iu beverages of a refreshing na* ture, for tho purpose of requesting a di minutive portion of wbat some people might be inclined to term an exhiliarntiug and thoroughly national compounded so lution, tho agent in charge of affairs at that establishment need be required, be- foro accoding to the legitimate demands of tho party of tho first part, to produce a disagreeable and startling tintinabnlation by meaus of a disreputable invention, which Hhould, and, in his judgment, was intended to be oonfined to the nse of those having tho direotion of the mone tary interests of such ordinary street ve hicles as were employed as common car riers by tho goneral publio. "DAD’N FINANCIERING.” A Henutiriil 1'UNRnKO. The following is from tho “itovorios of a Bachelor,” by Ike Marvel: “A poor man without some sort of religion is, at best, a poor reprobate, the foot-ball of destiny and to tho wondrous eternity that is even worse—a Unmo without heat, a rainbow without colors, a fiower without perfume. A man may, in somo sort, tie his hopes and honors to this weak, shift ing gronud taclo, to his business or tho world, but a woman without that anchor called faith, is a drift and a wreck! A man may clumsily continue a sort of moral responsibility out of relation to mankind; but a woman, in her com paratively isolated sphere, whore af - faction and not purposo is tho con trolling motive, can find no basis in any other system or right action bill that that of faith. A man may craze hiH brain or his thoughts to trustfulness, in such poor harborage as famo and reputation may stretch beforo him, but a woman, where can sho put her hopes in storms if not in heaven ? And that sweet trustful ness, that abiding love, that enduring hope, mellowing overy page and scone in life, lighting them with pleasant radienco when tho world’s storms break like an army with cannon! Who can bostow its all but holy soul, tied to what is stronger than an army with cannon ? Who has en joyed tho love of a Christian mother, but will echo tho thoughts with energy, and hallow it with a tear ?

Iu Londou tho avorago last year was 8.33, and thiH was smaller than the average, according to tho census of 1870, in either Brooklyn, Boston, Cincinnati or Jersey City. OUR COUNTRY COUSINS GOME TO TOWN. Dotrolt Froe Press.] A farmer’s wagon, in whioh were seated a family of eight, yesterday drove up to a house on Beaubien street, and leaving his team at, the curbstone the farmer kuocked on tho door, drummed on the windows, and seemed determined to get iu at overy hazard. When all efforts had failed he returned to tho wagon, hitched his horses, and the family sat down on tho grass to wait. A lad who had watched the per* formanco passed’ aronnd tho corner and suddenly discovered the boy whoso par ents lived in tho house. “Here—you—there’s a whole family tryiug to get into your house l” he shout ed. “Hush—shut up !” whispered tho other. “But they are visitors,” continued tho other. “Don’t I know all about it!” growled the hiding boy—“didn’t mam aud 1 see ’om drive up, aud didn’t we scoot out of the back door as tho feller came through the gate ? I’m hero and mam's over iu that houso, and we feel like some one ought to boot dad all over town !’’ “Why, wbat did your father do?” “What did he do? Why, he was out in the country buying poultry and rags, and ho stopped at a farm-house, made ’em be lieve ho was a distant relashun and got his dinner for nothing, lie came home aud told it as a big joke, and he grinned around for a week, but now I want to roo him when ho comes np to dinner and finds them ‘relnshuus’ squatted around tho gate ! Do they show any signs of leaving ?” “Nury sign,” replied the other as ho climbed tho fence. “Well, let ’em stick. .
