The labor '-trike- in New York have reached a point where it i? feared violence of a serious character may ensue. The military of the State is held in readiness for action in ca?e of emergency. We be lieve, however, the difficulties will lie settled without bloodshed. We trust that towns will not allow tlie busy season and confidence that Governor 1‘erhaui will be renominated and the work of the republican State convention be well done to make them neglectful of their duty to send full delegations to Lew iston on Thursday. The convention will be interesting and important and should be well attended. The reply of Mr. Colfax to his Indiana friends, assuring them that lie should cordially support the nomination of Mr. Wilson, is in excellent tone and temper and shows his good sense as well as de votion to the republican party, llis friends find in it no reason to regret that they supported him, but rather additional evi dence of his genuine worth and steadfast principle. The ratification meetings of the Grant and Wilson ticket have spread far and wide over the country. New Orleans answers to Boston and San Francisco to New York. The enthusiasm over the name of Grant is even greater than in 1868. The renewal of the history of his grand victories re kindles the feeling with which they lirst rejoiced the nation, and brings into active sympathy with the ticket the great mass of men and women who gave blood, treasure and prayers for the salvation of the Fnion in our time of need and trial. CKL MHI.IXd .1 U.1 J. The republicans of New York are fall ing away apon all sides from the nomina tion of Greeley and Brown. Three mem bers of the Republican General Committee of New York have withdrawn from that body, among them the chairman. They are William 11. Draper, Anthony l.alre and General Aspiuwall—the latter was chairman. In a letter Mr. Aspinwall *aj st in- Cincinnati movement ap pear* to me to have been bad in its con ception ami worse in its dcvelopeincnts, and the only ground for satisfaction is that it is likely to prove a failure.” THE l.E ATII Ell III SIX ESS. At the ratification meeting in Natick the leather business and the republican nomi nations were mentioned by General Swift. The report says: In conclusion. General Swift said that lit f, It sure their soldier triend, General Grant, would be re-elected President, and their own well beloved citizen, Henry Wilson, would occupy Hie second position. The leather business, said he, seems to be in the ascend ant; one of those whom lie had just men tioned had graduated as a tanner, and the other as a shoe-maker; such a combination would At the people exactly; very soon it would be ciul over with their friend Horace (laughter) and that would le the la*t of him. (Renewed laughter and applause.) Tk# Clncinnatti Gazette ridicules the idea that Greeley could carry Ohio against Grant. There are no signs of Republican support of him, it says, even in Hamilton county, and bo rational person thinks he could carry the State. BBLMVJfT 0.\ GREFL FT. August Belmont has written a letter to a friend for publication in which he gives his views of the Greeley nomination and the prospects of the democratic party. The situation does not appear very pleas ant to him, but he states it pretty fairly and accepts Greeley as a necessity. If there were a prospect or a probability of Mr. Greeley’s election after nomination at Baltimore. Mr. Belmont would be the last man to write this letter. We copy the following. “Hip nomination ol Greeley is one ot those stupendous mistakes which it is difficult even to comprehend, hut it is now an accomplished fact and we have to deal with it as best we can. I take it for granted that ail thinking men have come to the conclusion by this time tiiat the nomination of a straight demo cratic ticket at Baltimore will either elect Grant by the people, io case of Greeley's with drawal, or throw the election into the House if Greeley should stand, and then also Grant will be elected. If the Convention can be gut to nominate Greeley at Baltimore witli any thing like unanimity, the large body of the democratic party throughout the country will vote for him, and we shall have enough re publican votes to make the election more than probable, even if we should lose one tenth of our vote by defection and apathy. Whether this nomination can lie brought about remains a serious question, and I am not able to form a judgment on this point at this early day. At present many leading men and party organs, besides a very large por tion of the German vote, are bitterly opposed to him. ^Between now and tiie 9th ol July Greelyr’s strength must show an increase or decline, and it will then be for our Conven tion to adopt what course may be wisest. Though he is to me the most objectionable person whom tiie liberals could select, still I am decidedly of the opinion that our best policy will be to endorse tiie Cincinnati plat form and ticket. This is the general feeling in this State, and our delegation to Baltimore is, by a large majority, composed of Greeley men. As our delegation votes as a unit, you may set the vote of New York down almost certain for Greeley. 1 was not at Rochester, and have been left of! the list of delegates, most probably on account of the hostile posi tion of the World and Stnats Zeitung against the Cincinnati nominees, as the delegation undoubtedly was selected with but that one idea of making it sure for Greeley. A most absurd story lias for years past been started and generally' credited, that I am a large j share-holder in the World and control its ten dencies. I have never held a single share in J it and do not exorcise any influence over its j editorials. Should circumstances shape them I selves so tiiat the liberals desert the Cincinr.a ti ticket, then I hope tiiat the choice may fail on Groesbeck. He, with Sanford Church or J. Q Adams, would make a stronger ticket than any other combination. Yours, very truly. Aioisr Bllmoni. FIFTH COSGRF.SSIOSAL DISTRICT. The I’rogrcssive Age says: The indica tions are that there is to be a lively competi tion in regard to the candidacy (or Congress in this district in the rank* of nnr Greeley new-departure democracy. In this section of the district W. II. McClellan Esq., ol this city, and F. S. Nickerson Esq., of Searsport are candidates and arc already taking time by the forelock in furthering ttieir respective in terests. The name of A. S. Rice Esq., of Rockland is also mentioned. In addition to these, the Eastport Sentinel learns tiiat S. 1). Leavitt Esq., ot tiiat town is likely to he the choice of the democrats of Washington county, and that lie has strong support in other parts of the district. There has been an absurd rumor in circulation, for some days tiiat Mr. l'ike is about to execute some sur prising political feat, jumping over the heads of all others, and being elected as a general fusion candidate. From what we can learn, Mr, Bike is quietly attending to his business at home; has no Congress on the brain, and is speaking a good word now and then in fa vor of the nomination of our Mr. Knowlton. whom ho will doubtless do his level best to elect if he is nominated. POLITICAL. Tiie labor reform folks in Tennessee have nominated Andrew Jackson ns Congressman at large. August Belmont declares that tiie Democ racy has now no alternative save to indorse Greeley at Baltimore. It is reported tiiat Air. Greeley will stump the country if nominated at Baltimore. The colored citizens of Jackson .Miss., ratified Grant in mass meeting Thursday even ing. Governer l’owers says he shall not sup port Greeley. The Cnion League of Philadelphia have adopted resolutions sustaining the action of tiie I’ensylvnnia Republican in nominating tiie ticket fur state officers headed by General Ilartranft. Henry Ward Beecher's strong indorsement of President Grant troubles the Liberals x eeedingly. They cannot answer bis argu ment, so they put on a deprecating, half-pity ing air, and pretend to wonder how one so gifted can he so misled. LETTER FROM HASII1 \C1T0.X. Washington, Jim: 7th, 1 -7.’. To Hi)' Editor of the Jon mi: Kk.ioicing ovkk tub Nomina Hus-. Tliis seems more like the till of July tluin the 7tli of June. Cannon are booming, bands are playing and everybody seems to be full of enthusiasm. Democracy is at a decided dis count and democrats are scarce. llENKY Wit SON. Henry Wilson adds great strength to a ticket which could hardly he made stronger than it is by the name of (irant.^ No man in the republican party could have been selected as Vice I’resident who would have brought to the support of the ticket so many elements ol strength as Senator Wilson, for he is a man of and from the people, and the masses who earn their bread by the sweat of the brow, will vote for him. lie-sides this, that most powerful class ol people, the newspaper fra ternity, will exert a very great influence in his behalf because he has recognized their rights j and made it a point to take pains to explain matters of legislation which they did not understand, and has been a frequent visitor in I “Newspaper How." They claim, and witli much plausibility, that it was their nomiuii lion; that is to say, that what they wrote and 1 sAiJ in Wilson's favor turned the balance against Coltax,who is not as popular with the press. Guam ami Wilson—St mnkh. It teems now a moral certainty that Grant and Wilson will be elected by an overwhelm ing popular vote. The trite saying “Whom the Gods would destroy, they first make mail" i seems applicable to Senator Sumner's ease. iiis madness against Grant has led him to j make a most dastardly and outrageous attack upon him, far beneath the dignity of a man like Sumner, and has had the effect to rally to the standard of the l’reshJent people who would otherwise have been Indfferent speeta tors. While the Southern colored delegates were passing through this city, Sumner en deavored, first, to persuade them to return home, and failing in that he urged them to cast their votes against Grant with what ef fect the result shows. Gi.Nir.Ai Logan. Gen. Logan and the Illinois delegation in Congress are now enthusiastically in favor ol Grant, although until within a quite re cent period, they, especially Logan, felt as though they had not been treated exactly light So with hosts of other leading men in und out of Congress, who were a short time since near the fence which divides the “Liberals’’ from the great republican patty. r.NTIlfSlASM ovr.r. THE NOMIS UloS S. The outburst of popular enthusiasm dis played at the Philadelphia convention was wonderful ar.d shows that the assaults of a hundred intellectual guns like Charles Sum ner would not aiail against the great defender of his country, lu the history of this country the names of Washington, Lincoln and Giivst will stand out boldly and gloriously as the fathers, the protectors and the saviors of our country. All other names M ill be dim on tlie page of American hi-ton be«ide those names. S11 c Esso it oi Wilson in hie Senate. The nomination of Senator Wilson leaves a perspective vacancy in the Senate, and al ready one of the leading topics of discussion is regarding the probabilities ol m>1io will suc ceed him. The most prominent candidates are Boutwell. Dawes and Butler. Throwing every other consideration aside except the fitness of the candidates, Secretary Boutwell looms up above any one else. Bringing the question of locality into the contest, Dawes presents the highest claims, for the eastern part of the State has always, or at least lor many years, had both the Senators If work ing hard for the place wiil avail them Dawes nnd Butler's chances arc better than Bout well's, for he is a man w ho never scrambles lor office; it must come to him. If with out any wire-pulling on his part, the people of .Massachusetts choose him to represent them in the Tnited States Senate, he will be very likely to fill the place, not otherwise. But lie can illy be spared from the post of Secretary of the Treasury which he has fiilled so ac ceptably and abh and Gen. Grant’- Admin istration would be seriously weakened by the change, for he is acknnwli dged on all hands to lie its chief piilar next to Grant. Judge Hoar, the late Attorney General. Mould also like the position of Senator, very much, hut he is personally so unpopular that he would not be a leader m the contest. He is even more arrogant and dictatorial than Sumner himself. Inliirhi Damaofs. Il i* eonsiderid here that the Alabama question is settled by the action of the Brit i'll 1‘arliainent yesterday, and in favor of the Treaty, and that both countries w ill send their representatives to Geneva. As soon as the English Government became satisfied we were in earnest in the matter oi an understanding upon the question of indirect damages, and that the ultimatum of this country was the supplemental treaty as it passed the Senate, they came to their senses and took the only reasonable course that was left to them,— agreed to disagree no longer. The settle ment of this question will probably be fol lowed ere long by a further negotiation of the new 1’. S. lomD in Europe, and it is quite likely that another Syndicate will be formed. If it should he as successful as the one lately closed, the c itmlry will have no cause of complaint. Ail.HH liXMENI OI ClIXtillE.MI. Congress is very hard at work and will ad journ on Monday unless the Enforcement Bill prnduees a quarrel between the two Houses, which is hardly likely at this stage in the pro ceedings, the determination being to do only what i.« absolutely necessary to be done and to get away as soon as possible. I .sited Status Offices in Chii-ai.ii. The Supervising Architect ot the Treasury has prepari d a drawing of the proposed new public building for the various United States offices in Chicago. It covers an entire block and presents an imposing appearance on pa per. Steps are being taken to commence it« erection with the least possible di lay. ClIANUF HE Col.LECTOR. There is noon to he a change in the Collect* orsliip of that l’ort, brought about probably through the influence of Senator Bogan. No charges are brought against Mr. McLean, the present incumbent, hut there is a feeling that some one more intimately and not so recently connected with the interests of Chicago, ought to have the place; that is to say. the leading republicans want an old citizen and more in fluential politician. Channinu. IJmiKs in the ‘West. The attention of those interested is called to the announce ment of the land department of the Northern Pacific Kailroad, published elsewhere. That Company otters lor sale to settlers and col onies a large body of excellent farming and timber lands in Central Minnesota at low prices, and on seven years credit. A large portion of the ottered lands are situated in and near the lied liiver Valley, famous for its beauty and fertility, and the current of emi gration is setting strongly iit that direction. With wise liberality the Company agrees to carry tree over its road all purchasers of land with tiieir families, and otters transporation from all leading points at greatly reduced rates to all who desire to settle ou the line ot tiieir road, whether they purchase railroad lauds or free Government homesteads. The public lands along the line of the Northern Pacific lfailroad in Minnesota subject to homestead entry are represented to be of ex cellent ipiality and are convenient to markets.

O. M. Cousens of Hallowed, t r considerable statistical and other interesting matter relating to the subject of t niperancc. Mr. Cousens lias rare facilities for obtaining matter of this kind, being in communication with nearly all the temperance organizations in the State, including the reform clubs: and our readers will he glad to know that he is to continue to furnish u« information relating to the cause that w ill always be fre*li. valuable and interesting. It will be seen by ot:r report in yesterday's issue, of the cases decided bv the law court, that the verdict for the plaintiffs in the ease of tieo. I!. Stearns and wife v=. Geo. Sampson, was set aside by the court. This ease grew out of taking possession by Mr. Sampson, of the house he bought of Mr. Beni. Sewall, and of the proceedings on his part to compel Mrs. Stearns and her family to leave the premises, known as the “llallowcll war." and which at the time created considerable public interest m this vicinity. It w#« before the court on exceptions to the rulings of the presiding Judge on matter- if law at the trial, and on motion to set aside the verdict as again-t the evidence. The court sustains the exceptions and motion, at it is understood that the opinion of the court, read by the Chief Jus tice, fully sustains Mr. Sampson on all points. This will be very gratifying to the many friends of Mr. Sampson, who knew him to he loo much of a gentleman to insult a lady, and too great a lover of justice and equity to do an intentional wrong. Ni better selection could have been resile l,y the State lleform Club, of workers in their special field, to go about the State, organize clubs, etc., tbari Messrs, liryant and Murphy. The former was once a clergyman of fine talents and culture, lie became broken down by the practice of intemperance, aban doned the pulpit, and engaged in the occupa tion of a shoemaker, llis touching pleas, since his reform, has melted many obdurate hearts. Wherever lie goes the narration of liis simple story adds many names to the pledge look and increases the number of friends of the cause. Mr. Murphy was a rum drinker from l.is childhood, and for many years a rumscller in the city of Portland. He fought obstinately against the law and against moral suasion, hut at last yielded, gave up the traffic, stopped drinking, and became a returned man. Since his reform he has grown like a giant—intellectually and morally. With a good deal of native Irish wit and talent, his speeches are almost always spark ling and lively, and si metimes very effective and impressive. The recital of hi» personal experience while an intemperate man is al ways very affecting. These tw o gentlemen, in their visits to different parts ot the State, in the interests of the reform movement, can not fail of accomplishing a vast amount of good. Hon. N. P.

FANNY HAINES, junell lw Delicate Creatlrls.—This is the phrase applied by Ifis Blackness, the Moor of Venice to the fair ladies of Italy. It was the lovely complexion of Desdcmona, such a radiant contrast of his own, that won his heart; and sooth to say, every man of discernment con siders a fair skin, like a sweet voice, "an ex cellent thing in woman." Now this is a charm which can be acquired. There is a healthful and odoriferous toilet article, known every where as Hagan's Magnolia Balm, which literally transfigures a cloudy or sallow skin, suffusing the diseoloied face, neck, arms and bosom with a solt. perly tinge, and imparting to the surface a smoothness and a gloss like that of polished marble. Instead of clogging the pores, like the sticky enamels, or con tracting them, and thus obstructing prespira tion, like the astringent cosmetics, it cleanses the skin from all impurities and wonderfully improves its texture. This peculiarity is particularly appreciated by our rural belles, who find that the courseness and roughness, which country air is apt to engender, are speedily removed from their faces, hands and arms, by this delightful preparation. junell-+iweodlw It has been many years since the full power of the Peruvian Syrup was brought to light. 119 effects in eases of dyspepsia and debility is meat salutary. junel l-f3;a.w H luit the Weak Aiecti.

Forty-Scconfl Couks-SkM Session Washington, 10. Senate. The motion extending the session to sis o'clock P. M., was opposed by Mr. Chand ler, who hoped Congress would continue ir session until all necessary legislation was completed. The time of the Senate had beer wasted in pursuance of an agreement made early in November at a hotel in New York, between a prominent Senator, formerly re publican, and a prominent democratic Sena tor, and Samuel Tilden and others, demo crats, to the effect that a new party should be organized to be called the reform party that during the session the democrats should be quiet, letting the republicans do the talk ing; and that a certain republican Senator «hould he tin- nominee of the r.cw party for Senator. Mr. Kenton—Will the Senator from Mich igan name the Senator to whom lie refers? Mr. Chandler—No sir, 1 will not. Mr. Kenton—Then 1 will say that 1 do not h> lteve a word ot the slnti merit, but suppose lie w as iniisinturnied. Mr. handler—1 don’t ask him to believe it. I don't suppose lie knew anything about it. .Mr. Casserly—Dues Senator Chandler say that it was an agreement by width the dem ocrats were to keep quiet. Mr. Chandler reiterated the statement, complimenting the democrats on the fidelity w ith which they adhered to the arrangement. Mr. Casserly—There is not a word of truth in the statement. Mr. Chandler—1 happen to know that the soileuii nt is true. Mr. Casserly Does the Senator question my statement when I speak of tny own acts. Mr. Chandler—1 do not question the Sen ator’s statement as fur as Ins own acts are concerned, but 1 am telling of an under standing of which lie probably know s noth ing. .Mr. Casserly—About whom. Mr. Chandler—Uetwetn the conspirators 1 do not name. Mr. Casserly—Does the Senator fticlude in that somewhat discourteous and ungentle manly term if applied to Senators here, any democratic Senator Mr. Chandler—I include the parlies who assembled in that room in a hotel in New York early in November, and if the coat bits any body be can put it on. .Mr. Kenton (bought that Mr. Chandler was bound to give the names. Mr Chandler said that In- should not give the names. Mr. asseily said so far as lie knew Mr. Chandler had been grossly misinf iron -1. There was no understanding, still less a con spiracy. Mr. Thurman unqualidedly contradicted the statement rs far as he was concerned. Mr. Stevenson—Is the democratic Senator referred to on tl.is floor? Mr. Chandler—There was a democratic S- uator in that conference but I do not choose to name him. He claimed that in ansi-dance with the understanding, almost on the first day of the session a perfect howl of r> form was raised, and committee after committee organized, and the tint.-of the session, month utter month ocvupi -1 itt the discussion. After further remarks Mr. Chandler g.no way for a vote on the concurring of the Sen ate in extending the session to six P. M.. which was carried. A motion to take up the conference r. port on the steamboat bill was lost, Mr. Conkling threatening to make a two hours’ speech on it. A message was received that the confer ence committee on the sundry appropriation bill had failed to agree, and the House asked for another confeicnce committee. Anew committee was appointed of the same num bers as before. The Ohio bridge bill w ith some amend ments was passed. At I hio the Senate went into executive session on the motion ot Mr. Harlan, and at live o'clock the open session was resumed, and the bill to remove the disabilities of Kx (jovernor Vance of North Carolina and Geo. S. Houston of Alabama was passed. The House resolution extending the ses sion till nine o’clock this evening wa- theu concurred in. Mr. Morrill of Me., in the absence of Mr, Wright, chairman of the special committee to investigate the charges against Senator Clay tun, submitted the report covering the investigation as tar as they have gone. 1 lie bill lor the relief of Theodore Adams was discussed until six P. M., when the Sen ate took a recess till eight. The Senate before taking a recess concur red in the conference report on the sundry t ii it appropriation bill. livening session. A committee of confer ence was ordered on the bill relative to the construction of bridges across the Ohio. Several private bills were passed. ’1 he bill abolishing the franking privilege was re ceived. Sir. Trumbull moved that it be put upon its passage at once, a- d said it was a measure that the people demanded. Objection was made, and at S :1k the Senate went into ex ecutive session wnielt lasted a few minutes. Open session w as resumed and continued with much confusion until nine o'clock when the presiding officer, Anthony, pronounced the Senate adjourned without day. Hot si:. Mr. Kellogg ottered a concurrent resolu tion extending the si."ion tiil six o’clock this evening. Adopted. The hill giving the widow of (Jen. Andtr son tin thousand dollars instead of a pcusiigi w as passed. A message was received that the Senate had concurred in extending the session. The bill to pay $112,000 to Theodore A lams iVr the construction ot mortar boats wa* re ferred to the conf rent e committee. A recess was then taken to 2 1*. M.

The i English crew took the lead at the start, kept it and increased it to the end. The Ameri cans made some gallant and desperate spurts but became exhausted, and before the race was half over their case was hopeless. London, 10. The circumstances under which the Atlanta crew entered the race to day were most unfavorable. At first it was thought that the match would have to be postponed, owing to the stormy weather. As the sky cleared up it was decided that the race should be rowed out, though the water was rough and lumpy and the tide running very strong. Further delay was caused by a change in the direction of the race, which was made at the last moment. This having been agreed to. both crews went on board a steamer, and with their boats were taken up to the other end of the course, at Mortlake. Arriving there further time was taken lor making the arrangements rendered necessary by the reversal of the route, and it was after C o'clock when the Londoners and New Yorkers shipped and manned their boats. The thousands of spectators waited with patience and good humor while the prepara tions were making and as the beats shot out trom the shore at 6 :20 o'clock to take up their positions, there was a great shout of joy and relief, which was taken up anti rolled along both hanks of the river from Mortlake to Putney. The Atlanta crew won the toss j and selected the Surry side. The gun ter the start was fired at 6:25. The English took the water brilliantly in the first 200 yards, getting a length ahead and edging to the Surry side they took the Atlanta's water at Barnes’ bridge. Just around the curve the Londoners had increased the gap to a length and a half. From this point the Americans made a series of desperate spurts and slightly improved their position, drawing up to the London boat, but the tremendous efforts told oil the men anil they soon began to show signs of exhaustion. On reaching the water works opposite Chiswick Mall their distress was evident and their faces colored, their case was hopeless. The race was already won. The Englishmen gained rapidly while going through Comerey Beach, and shot under Hammersmith bridge twenty lengths ahead. They continued to row on steadily with ease, increases the distance at 1 every stroke. The Americans kept on with great pluck, hut were unable to decrease the distance. President Grant’s Ac ceptance.

There w as nut a solitary cheer along the route to prove that any sympathy of the 1 spectators was with the agitators.
