TH B I3C3EaiC3S:i3-XJEaEE,XSr- Y . WEDNESBfAX, JUIiTT a s , 1875. 3 ^ * Grant made so many “ sacrifi ces” since he became presidenfe that be is now reputed to be worth a million dollars. The Connecticut House o f Rep resentatives voted to indefinitely post pone action on a bill to give women the right to vote at Presidential elec tions. Only a few days ago the bill was fayorably reported from 'the standing committee to wh.ona..it was referred, and the ladles of the soffcage movement were in a far different frame of mind. T he F ilkins S keleton .—Mr. T. Mofiatt, agent and warden of Clinton Prison, writing to Chief Maloy, of Albany, under date of Saturday, the 17th inst., says: “ The stories going the rounds of the papers about a skel eton, supposed to be Filkins, being found in the prison drain, is a great canardj made up out of whole cloth without the least thing to base such a Story upon. B uffalo R aces .— T&e Bnffalo Races occur Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday and Friday, of next week. The officers of the association are doing all in their power to make these races fair, interesting and exciting. The total amount of premiums is 35,- 000. The list of entries is now com plete, making a total of 92. Among the celebrated horses, are Xiulu, Het- tie, Bodine, Thomas L. Young, Sea Foam, Bella, Lady Starr, Lucilla Golddust, Brother Jonathan, Grafton, Music, Moisey, Monarch, jr., May Queen and Mazomaine. Undoubted ly a g r e a t m a n y person from this County will attend these races, and while in Buffalo, they should not fail to see the “ sights, and note the im provements in this beautiful western A B rave M an .—At midnight, Thursday, a party of Illinois robbers ssized an engine, shot the engineer and ran the train two miles, having disen gaged from it Adam’s Express car, which others of their band strove to enter. The express messenger, Mr. Burke, closed the car and gave them a fight fo r it. They riddled the side of the car with halls, Burke never flinching. At last, fearing the firing would bring on assistance, they re treated, and Burke, with the pluck of a true hero, followed with a revolver and two soldiers with carbines, and gave ch^e. The murderers got away. The murdered engineer’s name was Ames. Too much admiration cannot be lavished on Messenger Burke. I f the authoritiei will display half of his energy and courage, the murderers will scarce escape. It is when such cases fts this occur that one feels the sub lime beauty of the gallows. j®*The following good advice is: from a western Democratic exchange “ The -democrats of Ohio differ from “ their brethren in the east only on “ one or two elements of a sound com' “ mercial and financial policy. On “ every other point they cordially “ concur. Is it not, then, far better “ to give a general impulse to the \ cause represented by the democracy, “ than to retard it all along the line, “ merely on account of differences “ which can be adjusted when the “ party comes into power? W e do “ not imagine that any true democrat, “ not controlled by mere prejudice or “ a desire to promote ulterior pur- “ poses, could have any doubt how to “ answer this question. Nothing “ could be more disastrous to the “ Democracy than defeat in Ohio at “ the very opening of the contest that “ immediately precedes the Presiden- “ tial struggle of 1876.” J. V. H. Scovill, of Paris, Onei da county, in a card to the dairymen o f the United States, announces-'that arrangements have been made with the Centennial Commissioners, by which a large space in the Centennial buildiDgs Will be set apart for the es- hibltion o f the dairy productions o f the country. Dairymen generally, ani mated by the spirit wbiob baa led to the establishment of factories, boards of trade and local markets, will be quick, to^perceive the necessity for a liberal display of dairy produce at the Centennial. There has been no pre vious opportunity to bring the impor tance and capabilities of our cheese factories so clearly before the eyes of representative business men from for- eigQ eonntria, and no pievions op portunity so fairly to present the mag nitude o f our dairy interests to the people at large, of oar own country. The appeal made by Mr. Scovill should meet a hearty response from dairymen everywhere, and. there should be, as there doubtless will be, a diepitij of iBOdern labor saving im plements eoaaected with cheese or butter making. ^ Judge Donahue rendered a do. cision in the case of the People o f the S tate against William M. Tweed on I bill of particulars. the motion for which was argued before him in May last. He saysi “ I t seems to me, af ter a careful examination of the au thorities and papers presented to Judge Lawrence in the case of the Mayor, Aldermen, and Commonalty against Tweed, that the defendant is entitled to the bill of particulars ask ed for \ Motion granted; The books of the entries for the August meeting of the Utica Park Association were closed Thursday night. The’ entries are more numer-~ bus than they were last year and ma ny fine bred horses are booked for the events. Bndd Dobla has telegraphed bis intention of being in attendance at the races and he will arrive in Uti ca at the termination of the Dexter Park races in Chicago, with his sta ble, which includes Goldsmith Maid, oradge Fallerton and other noted trot ters. Lulu, Nettie, Bell, Thomas L. Young, Thdmas Jefferson, American Girl and probably Occident, will par ticipate. The same horses entered by Budd Doble in these races, also the famous trotter Lady Maude are en rolled on the books of the Poughkeep sie Racing Association for the races races which take place there the 8d, 4tb, 6th and 6th of August. i®* The Hon. William Bigler, General Financial Agent of the Cen tennial Commission, says the Albany Journal, has just issued a report showing the condition of the great en terprise. The total expenditures for huildlags, roads, walks, water, gas, premiums and general expenses are put down at #7,608,000. The amount of capital already secured is #4,960,- OOQ. This leaves to be secured $2,- 648,000. It is expected that one and a half millions of this sum will be ob tained before the exposition opens. Mr. Bigler estimates that there will ba nine million admissions to the great show—an average o f three ad missions for each of the three million visitors that he expects will be in Philadelphia during the six months the exhibition will be kept open. At the Faris exposition in 1867, the ad missions reached more than ten mill ions, and it may be. that the estimate of a million less at our Centennial is not too great. It has not been contemplated to re imburse' the stockholders, though, should the gate money reach four and a half millions, Mr. Bigler thinks it is fair to calculate that the stockhold ers could be paid in full with a hand some dividend. The international outlook is now far more favorable than could have been expected. Thir ty-eight foreign governments have ac cepted the Invitation to take part In the exhibition. Of course every state and territoryJn the Union will par ticipate. The most complete success seems now assured, and from this time forward there is nothing to do but to go Steadily ahead in the fullest and most perfect preparations for the grand event. Every State and terri tory should see to it that its share of the work is promptly and faithfully performed. S&^A.n “ Enoch Arden” story, sav ing^ the bigamy and unhappy return incidents, cornea by way o f NTew Or leans. In 1849 a vessel by the h of Florida sailed from New Orli for California. Until recently noth- icompiish le to gain led in . accomplishing that point, it certainly is not the fault of the Republican papers. They have made assertions sufficient and concoct ed falsehoods enough to a ------- their object i f it were possil it. Driven from one asse false cry to another, they have gone the rounds before the fall campaign has fairly opened and exhausted themselves before the real work has commenced. Thus far the Republi cans have only proven to the public that they have been very badly hurt. They are unwittingly making np is sues which will be of decided advan tage to the Democracy this fall, issues that will materially aid the good cause when eleotion day comes. THE 0PFI0EE8 TO BE ELECTED, The election this fall, although that of an odd year, is an important one. An entire Legislature Is to be chosen, both in the Senate and Assembly, the former for a term of two years and the latter for one year. This is also the first election under the amend ment to the Constitution giving the Senators and Assemblymen additional pay,, and may therefore be said to. be the first t^ t of the effect of that amendment. A ll the State offieem are to be chosen this fltll, with the excep tion of the Governor and Lieutenant- Governor. These officers a r e ; A See ing was ever heard from ship or crew. An officer of the ship was Harmi Jones. His wife, or widow, still lives in New Orleans. Now comes a friend who has seen jn an English paper a statement that an English vessel, four mouths previous, was driven out of her coarse on the Pacific by a storm, and thus came in sight of an unknown island.- -It Was found to be inbablted by English-speaking people, nine in number. They said they were the Florida’s crew. They had become so attached to the island and so distrust ful of the reception they would re ceive i f returned to their homes, that they refused to be brought away. The newspaper account is said to give names of members of the castaways which are recognized in New Orleans as men o f the Florida. Among them is that of Harmon Jones. Mrs. Jones has never resigned hope of again meeting her husband, and has refused all the “ Philips” who offered. She and other friends of the lost party have taken steps to trace the recount ed newspaper story to its source, with the purpose, if it be found true, of trying to find and bring home the long absent ones. The British consul at IVew Orleans has interested him self in the affair so far as to agree to forward to the war office in London a statement o f ~ the circumstances., so Ikat the name of the vessel which Coached at the castaways’ home can be ascertained, and the bearings of the ielaad takou ftoip her log. A most brilliant light has been produced by a London chemist by a simple method. He finds that, when common saltpetre or nitrate of pot assium is heated, to a temperature somewhat beyond the point of fusion in a hard glass tube or porcelain cap sule mounted over a spirit lamp, and small pieces of sulphur are then suc cessively introduced a deflagrafton en sues, acccompanied bj tbeemMon of an intensely powerful white light, wbleb Is-maintained as long as any of the BulpbuF remains floating as a molten globn|e on the fluid nitrate.— The cost of this light Is, of course, very trifling, both Ingredients being exceedingly cheap. Thus* one ounce of nitre melted and fed with sulphur at the rate of eight or ten grains a t a time, will keep up $ brilliant light fof about ten minutes, at the expens© for materials of one THS STATE CANTASS. Party Manmavres aad Prospective 27eminations. [Correspontionco of the New Tork World] Albany, N . Y., July 17.—-The ma- ngsuvriugand among pol iticians in preparation for the fall campaign have been active and exten sive during the past few days. Little has appeared as yet on the surface be yond an-exhibition of rage and bad temper on the part of the Republican press, which, beyond a doubt, has its origin iu a desj ductiou of the ' 'ate cause. The re*' te taxes by the last Legislature and the inability to assail the record of that body, have resulted in a general haphazard tirade upon the Governor by Republican party or gans. When the veto messages came out, in which was found a rewew of the results o f the winter’s work at Al bany, the saving to the- State and the reduction of taxes which was effected and the abuses which were corrected, it was more than the Republican or gans could bear. Not one of the statements could be refuted or met.— The only course left was to divert at tention by raising some side issue in hopes o f drawing the public attention from the good record made. If they have not succeeded in iberfson, W estchester County, have been the most exten sively canvassed. It is not \kfmwn whether either will be a eandidaw.— Senator Daniel P. Wood, of Syracuse, has been far the last year or two anx ious for the position of Comptroller, but unfortunately for him he met with one or two political accidents last winter that put him entirely out of the race. It is understood that he is working hard to be returned from, his Senatorial district as a vindication of himself, bat from all accounts that vindication is not likely to come.—— Warner Milleri Of Hcrislfflcr, 19 »i3o a candidate. STi-TE TREASUREE. Several names have been prominent ly mentioned for this position. Among those on the Democratic side are Rob ert H. Waterman, of Albany; Thom as E. Stewart, of New Y o rk;_Edgar K, Apgar, of Tompkins, State Treasurer; William H. Sawyer, of St. Lawi^euce County; John H. Buell and George 0. Greene, of Niagara; James E. Cooke, of Otsego County; and Daniel C. Howell, of Steuben County. On the Repub nation of D. G. Port, of Oswego, is strongly urged. He was the nominee of the Republicans two years ago for that office. The nominee, however, is > lil • - ~ ~ Laapp, of iral Dix’a staff. Kepnblican ; a State /Treasurer in place of Thomas Raines, Liberal and Democrat; an Attorney-General in place o f Daniel Pratt, Democrat; a State Engineer and Surveyor in the place ofSylvanus H. Sweet, Demo- crat; a Canal Commissioner in plac of Reuben W. Stroud, Republican an Inspector of State Prisons in place of Ezra Graves, Republican. The terms o f five Democratic officials and >r of State Pris- for a terra of three years : the others for two years only.' The salary o f all of these o£S- cers has been very small ever since the adoption of the Constitution of 1S46, but the last Legislature increas ed them, to take effect with the incom ing officials elected this fall. Under the Increase no officials will be Justifi ed in leaving the' duties of his office so much in the hands of his d£ as has beein Liberal isputies 3e the case heretofore. Th< Republican organization . h [.a meeting and decided to hold a separate convention, and ap pointed a sub-committee to determine the time and place to hold their con vention. That committee meets in Saratoga on the 21st of this month to issue its call. Most of the prominent men of the organization are expected to be there, and their programme will be then marked out in full. In a few days, therefore, their plan of opera tions will be known. Neither of the committees of the twc principal or ganizations has been called together yet, nor is the time fixed for their meeting. The gossips, however, are busy over the names of the probable candidates for the several positiei Thaofficera elected this fall compose a majority o f the Canal Board, and will bring the canal question prominently before the people. THE SECRETARY OP STATE. The question which is first to be de termined pr settled on the Democrat ic side is whether there shall be an en tirely new ticket or the old ticket re? nominated in, part. That is a ques tion which has been canvaaied among the leaders quite esctensively for some lime past, and will nndoubtedly bean open question until the^convention as sembles. The names, mentioned on the Democratic side as probable can didates for Secretary of State are John J. Taylor, of Tioga County; Diedrich Willers, jr., of Seneca Coun ty, the present incumbent; John F. Seymour, of Oneida County, brother of ex-Governdr Seymour, qnd Freder ick A. Oonkllng, of New York.— There may be, and likely will be, oth er names brought forward before the convention is called or osaem'bles. I t will not be difficult to select a good ofBcial fron;! that list, The general Impression has been for some tiipe past that Frederick W- Seward, who represented, the Seventh Assembly District of New York City in the Assembly last winter, was to be the Republican nominee for this office. He has been pressed by the ^ Weed, Morgan and Custom-House in terest, but during the last ten Jays the Conkling interest have brought ~ Cornell, € ' .jf o r t apparent forward Alonzo B. Cornell, ex-Sjpeak- er o f the Assembly, for that position, with an apparent determination to press his nomination. *314.Ti; C03«PTK0l4UEE. . This Is one of the most important Uce!^ to be ohosea, being the finan cial officer o f the State. The salary hereafter Is to be $0,000 per year.— The candidates most prominently named on the Democmtic side are I^obert Earl, of Herkimer County, formerly Judge o f the Court o f Ap peals, and more recently Judge of the Commission of Appeals; George W. Culler, ofWa^Be County f Samuel] o f their Stale ticket W, Jackson, of Schenectady, and Lu cius Robinson, of Elmira, who h e ij the position of Comptroller with such UBiversai ncccptancct On the Republican side there ap- pears to be a coneiderable contest be tween the friends and opponents of Mr. Hopkius, the present incumbent. The former insist upon his reaomina- tion, while the latter are determined that there shall be a new man, but do not concentrate upon any particular They have been talking about ex-judge in the interior of the ley havi „ ge I b i State, but recently the names ofFmn- tbere is a decided change from the present aspects of the situation. This class are advising the nomination of a State ticket of figure-heads by the Republicans and then the turning of the entire attention of the party to the Lsgislature to be elected this fall.—- It is very apparent that it is tbs inten* lion of the Republicans to pay more attention to the election of Senators and Assemblymen than to the State ticket. Their hope is that Democratic dissensions in the districts will aid them in accomplishing this object.— Upon that they are counting, and they are Just now paying more attention to the 'candidates for Senators in the sev eral districts than they are to places on the State ticket. Several’of the old Republican State Senators are said to be slated for a re-nomination, but some of them will find that a re- nomination will not be a guarantee of election, even if they do live in sti’ong Republican districts. CANDIDATES FOE THE SENATE. more likely to be General John P. Knapp, of Auburn, a member of Gen- ATTORNET-&ENEKAL, Under the prosecutions now pend ing and those expected to follow the canal investigation this office has be come of more than usual importauce. It is reported that Daniel Pratt, the present incumbent, declines to be a candidate for re-election. He was not a candidate two years ago, but was selected by the'eouveutiou as a man worthy of the place, and elected. The other names mentioned arq Charles S. Fairchilds, of Madison County, the present Deputy Attorney- General ,* Smith M. Weed, of Clinton County; Lorenzo D. ‘ ' Chautauqua County; ' Wheaton, of Dutchess County. Dur ing the last few days the name of Charles O’Conor, of this city, has been prominently mentioned, bat the im pression is that he well not take the nomination. On the Republican side the princi pal names brought forward are L, Bradford Prince, of Queens Couaty; Grenvili Tremain, son of Congressman Treinain, of. Albany, qnd Harford Struble, of Yates County. STATE ENGINEER AND SURVEYOR. This is an important office in con nection with the canal management of the State. Although the measures pasasd by the Republican Degislaiure of 1859 and 1860 to curtail the power of Van R. Richmond, who theffiheld the office as a Democrat, have made the State Fogineer powerless to pre vent many abuses, the Republicaua found Mr. Richmond an obstacle in the way of their schemes at that time, and enacted laws to take from him certain powers over the subordinate eugiueffis, which enabled theiu to carry out their plans in spite of Mr. Richmond. The powers then taken away.have never been fully restored to the office. The candidates now nentioned are Bylvanus H. Sweet, the >resent incumbent; Wheeler H.Bris- _i m:— n — once held tointment by . the vacancy caused by the resignation of Mr. Me- Alpin in 1853, and Horatio Seymour, jr., of Oneida. It is not probable that these are all who will be looking for the position. As yet there are no names promi nently mentioned on the Republican side. Nearly all who would natural* ly he looking after the position on that side have held subordinate posi tions on the engmeer corps of the canals daring the period which is now , being investigated, and do mot desire to be too prominently brought forward just at present. CANAL CQMMISaiONBR. The ComniissiQner in charge o f the middle dhision of the canals is the one which goei$,oat this fall. is a Republican, and the only Republic^ Commissioner now left—Reuben ' Stroud, of Onondaga County. The indications are that he will be renom inated by the Republicans. ^ The candidates mentioned the Democratic side are Ste of Bteuben County; -- ------- -- ... Holmes, of Chenango County, and Abram B. Weaver, of Oneida Couaty. INSPECTOR OP STATE PRISONS. There has been very' little said in connection with this office qs yet, es pecially on the Democratic sije- — There is a reportthat the coatestfor the nomination on the Republican side is between E x r tt Graves, the present _____Eirkpatrifik,, who ran last year. The Republicans E x r tt G r a v ^ , ^ iacumbent, and Thomas Eirkpatriok who ran last year. The Republicans now have two out of the three inspec tors of ^tatpyr|®vP9j aqd fqll pontfoj of all the appointments in charge o f each of the prisons. The eleotion this fall determines whether the Democrats shall have the control and responsi bility for the prison managoment for the next two years, or whether-jt shall; be held and controlled by the Eepub- cans, as for the last two years. THE POLITICAL PROSPECTS. The politicians* as a mattpr of coarse, are constantly looking a t their polfti5»l pr^peote and endeavoring to g&ther from that the probable result in the State. Ocoasionally one is found on the Republioan side who professes to discover signs o f RepnbU- can success, and th® party organs pro- olsitn it, but their own concse proves but faint hqp^ of their being fajllled, On the other band, the shrewd^t ob? servers on the RepubHoan side do not hesitate to state to their eoQfidaiits that they can see no hopes for success this fall onleiN! There are now eleven Catholic archbishops in the U nited States, — Another mining party en route for the Black Hills was captured Fri day.

Wood, Dickinson, Booth, Thompson and Cole are each expect ing a re-nomination for the Senate.—- Some of them are working very hard for it, While rumor has it that Rob ertson, of Westchester County, is looking again in that direction. All but one of those represent what have been strong Repablican districts, and expect a nomination will carry them through, but four or five of those fiamed will have a difficult task before thenr if they'succeed In getting the nominaliou. Senator Wagner is. hav ing a competitor for the nomination in the person of Assemblyman West, of Saratoga County, who has waited, he says, long enough for Mr. Wagner to get his fill of Senatorial honors. There are to be several consul tiona at Saratoga during the n three weeks which will unquestionably throw more light both on the State ticket and the combinatiens for Sen ators in the several districts of the State. TflE ADVANCE I S WHEAT. During the last five weeks, there has been a remarkable advance in the price of wheat, not only at Chicago and Milwaukee, but also at New York, Liverpool and London. Cor paring the prices of June 15 wii those of yesterday we find that whei has Tisen 20 pdr cent at Liverpool, New York and Milwaukee, and 25 per cent at Chicago. W e can dis cover no solid grounds for so rapid a rise in prices, and can only account for it on the theory of an epidemical speculation common to all the mark ets we have named. The latest mail advices from Europe contain no re ports of damages to the growing wheat of sufficient importance to account for so suden a revolution in the markets. Our own harvest seems to promise well, and both in Great Britain and the United States there must be a considerable supply of the last year’s production still on hand. The Brit ish imports, after deducting the ex ports, for ten months of the year, end ing with next month, are actually greater than they were in the corres ponding period of the year preceding, though last year’s crop of English wheat was unusually large. But, however difficult i,he fact may be of explanation, it is certain that wheat has riseo and that there is a free movement o f the product from the lake ports to Buffalo, from Buffalo to New York, through the canal, and from ]New York to Fngland and the Continent. There has been a break Te established to-day.- There is a trifling advance in lake and canal freights, and a larger one in ocean freights, which, together with the fall in gold and exchange, tend to -neutralize the rise in gold prices at r: -------- 1 -------- Chicago. For tst nearly a mil- have been export ed from New York, aad the move ment may continue at this rate if Ihe Chicago speculation can be kept with in bonds. Withiif a few weeks we shall doubtless have more authentic ai^. complete information as to the prospects of the European harvests.— Meanwhile it is to be hoped that the speculative excitement, which is al ready o f extraordinary intensity will not be suffered to take Chicago up in a balloon.—AT.
