Lithographer. —“Will you be kind enough to inform me if using profane language was ever considered good breeding in Great Britain?” It never was considered good mannered to be profane, although about two hundred years ago it was very fashionable. The dissolute manners introduced by Charles the Second and his courtiers corrupted the tone of fashionable society in England; but the better part of the community condemned the license of language in which the courts indulged, as well as the licentiousness which they practiced. Englishmen, even of the present day, do not consider it so heinous an offense to swear in the presence of a woman as Americans do, nor is their language generally so chaste in the same grades of social life. J. F. S. — I have made a wager that the Hon. Reuben E. Fenton will be our next Governor. Now will you please answer me through your loyal and valuable columns, does the law deprive me of my vote for betting? If you should be challenged, among other things to which you will have to swear is “that you have not made any bet or wager, and are not directly or indirectly interested in any bet or wager depending upon the result of this election.” To this you could not swear affirmatively. This betting on the result of an election is very foolish business, as it is liable to make of your opponent an interested and, consequently, an active partisan. Union men should avoid it—the success of their principles is of too much importance to be risked for a little pecuniary gain. Schuck.— It is usual for the President of a society on leaving the chair momentarily to call upon any member to preside for the time, and we have never seen objection made; but where the presiding officer leaves the meeting for the evening, it is his duty to call upon the Vice-President to act in his absence. The President may have occasion during an evening to leave the chair several times for the purpose of debating a question, or the performance of other business, and it would be annoying to the Vice-President to be called from his post and duties when there is no necessity for it being done. The Vice-President, in the absence of the President, according to your constitution, becomes the presiding officer, but has no right to feel hurt if another member is called to the chair when the President is present. Samuel Weller.— “1st. which is the largest theatre in New York—that is, capable of accommodating the largest number of persons?” The New York Stadt theatre will seat more persons than any other theatre in this city. The circulation of the different papers about which you ask is not known to us, “3d. Could you inform me, to decide a wager, how large a number of persons the Berlin (Prussia) Opera House accommodates?” We have been unable to find the exact number of persons that the Berlin Opera House would accommodate. It is some five thousand square feet larger than was our Academy of Music, and would probably seat about 5,000 persons—or about a thousand more than the New York Academy. Union is not clear as to which constitutional amendment he refers. There is one which enters into the present contest, adopted at the last session of Congress, which bases Congressional representation upon the voting population. The other was adopted by Congress, previous to the conclusion of the war, and forever abolished slavery, and involuntary servitude within the limits of the United States. It was ratified by the Southern States, it being necessary to have some of them adopt it ere it could receive the two-third vote required. This amendment was not declared a part of the Constitution till after the war had ended. Mary Stuart.— “My wife says that Mary Stuart, Queen of Scotland, was cousin to Queen Elizabeth. The Herald, in its criticism of Ristori’s performance of Mary Stuart, calls them sisters. Will you please inform me correctly?” Mary, of Scotland, was very distantly related to Elizabeth, of England—something approaching a cousin sixteen times removed. The Herald critic undoubtedly mixed up the Scottish with the English Mary, who was the half sister of Elizabeth. C. S.— “Will you please inform me why longitude is reckoned from Greenwich?” Merely because English Astronomers have so reckoned. We followed them in that as in many other things. Most nations chose their own point from which to reckon longitude. France chose to reckon it from Paris, Russia from St. Petersburg!!, etc. Harry.— The landlord can raise the rent of a monthly tenant at the end of any month, and the only resource the tenant has is to change his place of residence. Tenants should not take apartments by the month, as by so doing they put themselves at the mercy of landlords. They should. engaged by the year. B. F. — You cannot obtain a divorce from your wife because she has deserted you. The divorce laws in this State are stringent. A divorce obtained in another State would be illegal, and lay you liable to punishment for bigamy did you marry again on the strength of such divorce. G. M. — “I came to this country when eleven years of age, and my father took out his first papers when I was fourteen, and his second when I was nineteen. I am now twenty-five. Am I entitled to vote without getting out my papers?” You are. The naturalization of the parent naturalizes the minor children then resident in the country. An Old Subscriber.— “Please state in your valuable paper how can mucilage be made good and cheap?” Buy the gum in a hard state, place water upon it until it melts, and then strain it. You thus procure your mucilage much cheaper than by buying it in the liquid state, and the straining process will rid it of all extraneous matter. A Constant Header. — “Will you please state what was Horatio Seymour’s majority in this city when elected Governor?” Horatio Seymour, when he defeated James S. Wadsworth, in 1862, received a majority of 31,376. When he, in turn, was defeated by Fenton, in 1864, he received a majority in this city of 37,227. Ben Backstay. — We cannot tell whether the concert, which was to have been given in aid of the Soldiers’ Orphan Home on the 2nd of last August, came off as advertised or not. Perhaps some of our readers may be better informed in relation to the matter. than we are, and will please send us the information. Hattie.—We have never heard of the death of Mr. Banvard, of panorama celebrity, and cannot say where he is now. He did publish a book on his travels in the Holy Land. We are sorry that we cannot relieve your “nervous” anxiety as to whether he will ever exhibit his panorama of the Holy Land in this city. A Widow.—You can recover your son by a requisition from the Governor of New York upon the Governor of Massachusetts. The cheapest way you can go about the matter will cost you considerable time and money. Poor Hand.—“Please tell me how a man may get rid of a very heavy beard—that is, to abolish it. Altogether?” There is no way to reach the root of the evil without skinning the man whose face bears the heavy beard. Jones.—“A young girl upon her deathbed merries a man. Is he the heir of her property in preference to her parents?” He has no claim upon her property whatever, without she willed it to him. J. C. V. — The postage must be paid by you at your post-office. It will cost you twenty cents a year. PUBLISHED BY A. J. WILLIAMSON. WHERE NEW YORK DINES. An Hour in Our Eating Houses—Gastromcay from Delmonteo’s to the Ferries—Mysterious Antecedents of Game—Porter Houses, Chops, etc.—Eating, Digestion, Dyspepsia—The Arts of Carving and Waiting, Life in New York differs from that in other large cities in many important particulars, the most radical and conspicuous of which is perhaps its times, styles and haste in eating. The Bostonian is slow, measured, sedate; his thoughts, mounted in gorgeous chariots, seem to advance like an army; the Philadelphian moves rather than walks, his mind apparently as cool as the immemorial cucumber and, calmly reasons at his leisure amid the most pressing hours of his busy life; but the New Yorker is always. Together different in his business ways. He rushes through the street, frets if the least delay occurs, and becomes beside himself regularly as the last rush of the day comes on. He does a great deal of business in a brief space of time; does it well but hurriedly and with a nervous energy which does not exhaust him, although it seems as if it should by the style in which he carries it. Differing every hour of the day from the business men of other cities, the New Yorker is more radically unlike in his eating. Breakfasts in all large cities are alike substantially in the same grades of life. The same warm coffee and mechanical “chop,” the same hash and “roll,” about as ephemeral as can be constructed; the same tanta-lizing scarcity acting as an appetizer for dinner, that ponderous plethoric meal which swells like an inflated balloon, amid a wealth of table crockery, linen and plate. Of course there are exceptions where plenty reigns at all times, but the fact they are exceptions shows that they are “homes.” Unhappily in this world of ours houses are the rule, homes the exceptions. BREAKFAST OVER the New Yorker dives into a streetcar, (horse cars the Bostonians call them) or inside a stage, and rushes down town to business. When mid-day arrives, the inner man sends up a cry for alimentary reserves; he proceeds to reinforce his stomachic position in some of the many ways provided. New York is more abundantly supplied with eating-houses, dining-rooms, restaurants, saloons, lunches, hotels, shades, offices, CA, than any other city in the world, perhaps, taking its population into the account. They include every grade of eating and eater, can satisfy every degree of appetite, and accommodate the most meager of purses—unless absolute depletion has supervened financial paralysis. To glance over the gastronomical field will not, perhaps, prove interesting to that large class of persons who eat as hereinafter detailed, as well, perhaps, as to others who never eat amid the hurry and bustle of downtown life. THE LUXURIOUS DINNER shall lead off. He dines at four, perhaps, with all the formality of a royal pageant. Soup and ceremony precede fish and the wine-card; then come the fleshy features of the dinner, with side-dishes the most profuse and Frenchified; and closing, probably, with some common-place melange, prepared by a would-be American Soyer, ostensibly in honor of the newest sensation, but really to close out a tad lot (as a merchant would say it) of refuse, not unpalatable, although able to trace its cooked pedigree back for several meals. Just now, very likely, such a gastronome as described closes his actual dinner campaign with a Bistori fricandeau, a fillet de Queen Emma, or possibly a joint de Johnson. The dessert, that triumphant conglomeration of impalpable mystery, that successful concatenation of palate-tickling nonentities, succeeds. The eggs, maizena, cream and flour, the butter, sugar, jams, and flakey crusts, backed up by nervous jellies, which would tremble in spite of Dr. Newton’s “no more shake,” and the cold-souled vanilla, strawberry, or chocolate cream. The profound, unequal possibilities of all the compounds of a dinner à la mode bewilder anybody but a French cook, until, like the celebrated Widow Cliquot, he is ready to die, affixing to his will a “green seal.” All this has occupied an hour or two, and necessitates an elapse of drowsy digestion, appalling to All but the magnificent alimentary powers of the ostrich, or the pampered stomach of the luxurious diner. THE MODERATE EPICURE has neither time nor disposition for such a dinner as the above. To him, the great feature of a day is not the dinner; an overdone roast, or even a cold fowl, cannot temporarily upset his mental equilibrium and torture him into a delirium. He has business after dinner, perhaps, which needs a clear head, and, therefore, he cannot allow his stomach to monopolize the best part of his day. He leaves his desk or counter between the hours of 12 M. and 1 o’clock P. M., and there, in a very maelstrom of dinnering commotion, finds the needed solace for his inner man. Once seated, he finds himself in the midst of a scene of great activity. Waiters are hurrying to and fro, a rattle of crockery, a jingle of spoons fall upon his ear, relieved anon by the gastriloquistic voice of a waiter, appealingly catling for “Roast beef rare,” “Roast lamb well done,” “Chicken pie, plenty of crust,” “Stewed matus,” “Corn bread.” Bewilder his eyes wander over a bill of fare, until he selects some desirable dish, and then he lapses back to listen. “Tapioca hard,” “Plum both,” “Blue fish, middle piece,” “Corn bread,” “Catskill, wine sauce,” break upon his ear in rapid succession, the rear brought up by some desparate individual, who, not knowing what he wants, shouts lustily for "Hash," an "Oyster stew," or "One codfish ball," no bread. If a stranger—a countryman to whom the scene is all new, the process of horripulation bristles his hair as if from real terror, and the whole scene either takes away all appetite or furnishes him with one which only a two dollar check can appease. THE HABITUE on the contrary, takes things coolly, and is soon comfortably bending over the steaming viands which he has ordered, his knife and fork keeping time to the slight masticatory process in which he indulges. Some eat like the hungry boy, who, on being asked, as he helped himself to his seventh bowl of pudding and milk, “How he liked it?” replied, hastily, between mouthsful, that “He didn’t know; he hadn’t tasted it yet.” Others are more moderate, occupying full fifteen minutes at the meal; but no American is believed to act the role of the soger when at his meals. The demands are loud, long and impatient, short, sharp and decisive, according to the haste, hunger and temperament of the consumer. To answer all, the waiters must needs cultivate a dexterity equal to that of a practised funambulist, a clear-headedness fairly mathematical in its accuracy, and good-nature impervious to all assaults made against it by the irritability of the hungry, hasty, unreasonable being, whose every moment is fringed with greenbacks. Closing with pie or pudding, and armed with a toothpick of rattan, the diner returns to business after an interim of half-an-hour, to lose himself amid the engrossing cares of down-town life. Such places as these are heavily patronized, and when well-conducted, pay princely dividends. To illustrate—an official, who is very popular, was nominated against the fiat of the Democratic powers that be, and a guardian of an estate in which he was largely interested, refused In consequence, to advance him the necessary amount to work a campaign. He stood baffled upon the verge of success, when a restaurant keeper, who knew and advocated his merits, coolly drew his check for $25,000 — and he was elected. NOON AMONG THE LUNCHERS. Many there are in this great city of ours who from ill-fortune, want of time, bad health, or other cause, do not indulge in what may be termed a dinner. They lunch in one of the many places for that purpose, and frequently an individual in a state of chronic impecuniosity, lunches at several of these places each day. A glass or ale or other invigorating beverage is bought, and a small plate of some palateable soup, pork, kidney stew, or beans, served up hot and nourishing. Boys, apprentices, sidewalk brokers, red-capped messengers, dappr clerks, and others, patronize these places, daily bracing with a little noon which lasts them until they reach their home or boarding-house, between five and seven, P. M. Total abstinence advocates may think this a trap to catch the unwary; but it is a great convenience, nevertheless, and abundantly patronized. If our cold water friends have any better plan to suggest, it will undoubtedly be adopted when fully presented. AT PORTER HOUSES. Here and there nestled in among the business walks of the metropolis, may be found the old English porter house, kept by some obese offshoot of Albion, all of whom appear to know how to keep a hotel. Here, at noon, a stated dinner is served—roast beef, mutton, and cold cuts alternating. These, with corn, to matoes, potatoes, and the time-honored pewter of half and half, form a dinner, any short-comings of which are filled in by glimpses at London Punch, Bell's Life, London Illustrated News, etc. and a meditative cigar thereafter. People not born in a hurry, patronize these cosy retreats, and are too often lured into half an afternoon’s tarry. Leaving the porter-houses, one may enter THE ACCREDITED HOTELS. Many of these establishments have a noonday dinner or an ordinaire, where one may enjoy anything from a poulet to a dessert. Many of our first-class men patronize the hotels, among whom might be mentioned the acknowledged merchant prince of New York, who takes his noonday meal at the Astor House. A meal thus taken is lonely, and the social quality is immensely esteemed by many, so much so that they hurry through the solitary meal as a mere business form, satisfied if the stomach only ceases to yearn and altogether regardless of taste or propriety. But there is another branch of eating which has not been considered. There is probably no edible more deservedly or universally popular than that delicious bivouac, the oyster. Many a man delectates himself upon the pleasing fiction that he enjoys at Fulton Market or elsewhere a Saddle Rock roast, broil, stew, or raw, when in reality not a “ Saddle Rock oyster” over a thousand have been taken in the last ten years. The Baddie Rocks are very large, but not more than ordinarily sweet or nutritious. East Rivers are the oysters most in use, though now and then a connoisseur gets the Blue. New York, Sunday, September 30, 1866. Point” or the delicious “Shrewsbury.” Eaten raw, these two brands are peculiarly excellent, but cooked, they do not compete in appearance. The noonday dinner frequently loves to go down to one of the markets, and enjoy a toby of ale and a dish of oysters as the best loves them. They are cheap, satisfying and palatable, but not sufficiently hearty to interfere. With a formal dinner at six o’clock. Others, again, LUNCH AT COFFEE AND CAKE STANDS, which are open day and night at the markets. Coffee hot and palateable, cakes steaming in an oleaginous atmosphere, are cheaply procured, with adjuncts such as pies, doughnuts, boiled eggs, etc. These places are intensely democratic. The merchant prince and his colored porter may sit down at the same table, and no questions are asked. The larger number of these places are well sustained, their proprietors retiring after a few years. CARVING AND WAITING. Of course the carver, steward and cooks at the various eating-houses are persons of distinction. The stewards provide, do the marketing, buy wisely and well—a knack only to be attained by long experience. The cooks receive the result of the steward’s mission, and put it through the necessary process to prepare it for the table. Then it is handed over to the carver, who is a most important factor. He carries an eye and hand which regulates profits in no small degree. He must possess an eye like that of a successful pistol shot, a manipulation accurate to a mathematical degree, a muscle tireless as fate and a correct and instantaneous appreciation of the salient points of boiled or roasted joints. He must classify lean and fat, rare and well done meats, must superintend the rushing orders which come upon him from twelve M. to two P. M., at all times keeping up with demand. The waiters also should not be forgotten, entrenched behind their insignia of office, a white apron, they stand in all possible styles. Some understand order while others never do. Now and then one will set your table without trouble, another will make it all wrong, and so keep it, notwithstanding the effort which you may make to bring order out of chaos. ESTIMATES. Most people at a dinner, where they can call for what they desire, will take roast beef, and careful estimates show that the following is about the proportions in which meats are used: Roast beef, 50 pounds “ lamb, 50 pounds “ veal, 50 pounds “ pork, 25 pounds “ chicken, 50 pounds Steaks, 15 pounds Chops, 9 pounds Oysters, 200 pounds Bread, 32 pounds Butter, 27 pounds This is about in the proportion in which stewards buy the articles named. RALLYING AGAIN! Pittsburgh, Sept. 25th, 1866. Soldiers of the People’s War Rising, as you rose before; Coming, as you used to come, At the long roll of the drum; Tramping, as you used to tramp, Mustering in the Union camp; And with steady lines, as then. Rallying round the Flag again! Soldiers! you are wanted yet! Not with ball or bayonet; But with voices, stern and high, Shouting Freedom’s battle cry; And with BALLOTS, strong and still, Uttering your loyal will: Soldier! Patriot! Citizen! Rallying round the Flag again! Soldiers! as your roll you call, Deem not that ye muster all! Comrades! Let us softly tread. For beside us march our dead I Eyes unseen and lips unheard Answering each loyal word, And with rapturous “ Amen!” Rallying round the Flag again I Soldiers! let us here proclaim Union still in Freedom s name!— Here resolve that Martyrs slain , Died not for this land in vain; But where Abraham Lincoln trod, “ Freedom—new-born—under God,”* Still shall lead the souls of men, Rallying round the Flag again!

The Executive Committee will meet at No. 362 Broadway, on Monday, at 3 o’clock, for the purpose of organizing. A Standing Committee on Naturalization—Daniel S. Duval, chairman; a Committee on Printing—John V. Gridley, chairman; a Committee on Resolutions—Chas. A. Dana, chairman; and a Committee on Correspondence, with John H. White as chairman, were also appointed. The Union Republican Party of this city is now fully re-organized, and in healthy working order. Fenton Ward Clubs are springing up in every direction, and harmony, enthusiasm, and energy are distinguishing characteristics of the party. The business of the campaign will be entered upon immediately, and nothing will be left undone to reduce the Democratic majority in this county. The Central Committee are determined to make a Grant campaign of this: “Short, sharp, and decisive.” The Meeting of the Defunct Union Central Committee.— "The.” Allen Resurrects Them.—It being understood that a few of the members of the Defunct Union Central Committee were to meet at the corner of Broadway and Twenty-third street, on last evening, for the purpose of sustaining the Treasurer, Mr. Joseph B. Taylor in his attempt to deprive the Union Republican General Committee of the use of their headquarters, some seventy of the members of the old Committee, who sympathize with the principles of the Union Party as adopted at Syracuse, appeared at the rooms and demanded admission. The room was packed as early as o’clock by the lazaroni of the metropolis. The banditti of the Eighth Ward figured conspicuously, mingled with a sprinkling of semi-respectability from the Custom House, Post Office, and a thin skimming from the Department of the Internal Revenue. These hosts were led by the Hon. Abram Wakeman’ Surveyor of the Port, James Kelly, Esq., Postmaster, and Revenue Collector Sheridan Shook. Charles, S. Spencer, the Vice-President of the old Committee, demanded admittance to the room, but was informed by Adolphus Borst, or as he is better known by the name of Bill Post or Pork Chops, who figured as Tyler, that he was not entitled to admission. This created a breeze, during which Senator Murphy appeared in the hallway, supported on his left by his henchman. Thomas B. Asten, and confessed to a lively sense of astonishment that Mr. Spencer should appear and endeavor to claim his rights. Asten echoed the sentiments of Murphy, in as in duty bound. Theodore Allen, a veteran of the Bounty Brigade (see Police Reports), informed Spencer that he had charge of the door, and nobody should pass it with his permission who had not a ticket of invitation. The gangway being eventually cleared, Revenue Assessor David Miller, Joseph B. Taylor, Esq., Treasurer, Superintendent of the Post Office and Unsafe Buildings Inspector Henry J. Armstrong, John J. Sillcocks, Collector of Arrears of Personal Taxes under Comptroller Brennan; Deputy Surveyor George B. Van Brunt, of “marshal” fame,” and his Sancho Panza, James R. Davies, or as he was familiarly recognized by his associates in the old Fire Department “Chunks of Wisdom,” entered the room. The two Dromios, Seaman Johnson and Wm. Atkinson, ex-Master Mechanics in the Navy Yard, and who would have no objection to be re-appointed, followed shortly after; Brigadier James W. Farr, who it will be recollected won imperishable laurels in his famous retrograde door-plate. The movement, during the riots, while he was acting Provost Marshal; Wm. H. Albertson, and Wm. T. Black, the Commissioner for Improving the Pavement of Broadway; ex-Assemblyman Thomas E. Stewart, and member of the Democratic State Central Committee, ever tardy in his arrival—as large bodies move slow—and William Hepburn brought up the rear. The meeting was called to order by Thomas Murphy; Clerk of the First District Court John M. Costa and Assistant Revenue Assessor Henry A. Smith officiated as Secretaries. Surveyor Wakeman took the floor and endeavored to convey to the minds of the assemblage that he had not left the Union Committee, and that every member of the old committee who supported Governor Fenton had abandoned the Union Party, and he proposed that a committee be appointed to fill the vacancies of those delegates who were refused an entrance to the hall by Theodore Allen, which proposition was unanimously assented to, and Surveyor Wakeman and Postmaster Kelly were appointed on the committee, together with three lesser luminaries. A distinguished foreigner from Japan, who would be Lieutenant-Governor of this State if the people consented, Robert H. Pruyn, exhorted the faithful to stand firm, and renewed to them his assurances of distinguished consideration and trusted by their help to be made the second No-Kami of the State, with the privilege of carrying two swords and no liability to harpoon. To which Mr. Murphy dignifiedly granted a complacent assent. During the speech of the member from Yokohama, a few festive spirits adjourned to the sidewalk, and recognizing one of the secretaries of the genuine Union Committee beguiled the tedium of the passing hour by sportively relieving him of his watch. The pow-wow broke up, and the organizers sought their accustomed haunts with which the police are much More familiar than the Dispatch reporter. Treason Rebuked and Repressed.— At the recent primary election in the Ninth Assembly District, the so-called Conservatives got up a ticket with the following heading: “This ticket favors the recon struction policy as adopted by Congress, and the Consti tutionalamendment.” It also bore the motto: “Treason must be made odious and traitors punished.” It may appear strange, but this was the Raymond ticket I and the first name on it was that of Mr. Geo. B. Deane, who was one of the Committee for the recent Johnson meet ing in Union square. Raymond and Deane to talk of punishing traitors is decidedly rich. They’d have to commence too near home. However, the swindle did not succeed, as the ticket simply headed “ Anti-Raymond” won by a majority of 87 in a vote of 473. Raymond and Deane shculd allow their native modesty to control them for once, and take a back seat, for they are in exceeding bad odor at present. Appreciated.—Mr. Geo. F. Stein brenner, who was recently removed from the office of Assessor in the Seventh District, because he had refused to contribute $5,000 to the Johnson policy, has been the object of quite an imposing demonstration on the part of his friends and neighbors. Some 2,000 persons assembled one night last week in front of his residence, with ban ners, torches, transparencies and a full band of music to give expression to their feelings. One transparency bore the following significant inscription: “No German Assessor in the District, but 13,000 German votes for the Fall election.” Mr. Steinbrenner was handsomely in dorsed. Hon. Wm. A. Darling desires us to say that the use made of his name in connection with a Democratic nomination for Congress is entirely gratuitous. He considers himself a member of the same Union party which elected him to Congress. He has never in any way, had anything to do with the Philadelphia bolters or any other organization in opposition to the party that saved the country during the war. Mr. Darling does not consider it necessary to follow all the newspaper canards that are set afloat in reference to himself. He simply requests his friends to examine his record and judge accordingly. At a meeting of the Soldiers’ League, held on Friday evening at No. 146 Canal street, it was, after a week’s voting, agreed, by a vote of 718 to 322, that the members would give their united support to all candidates for Congress who are opposed to the proclaimed policy of Andrew Johnson. The Headquarters of the Eleventh Ward Fenton and Woodford Club are established at No. 70 Avenue D, First Assembly District.—The new Republican organization in this District met on Wednesday evening at the Fifth Ward Hotel and perfected their organization for the campaign. Addresses were made by Dr. Kennedy, Messrs. Walker, Kingsley, Tuthill and others. The Syracuse nominations were heartily endorsed, and arrangements to have a public meeting every week until after the election were perfected. Second Assembly District Republican Association.—In accordance with a call of the officers of this Association, a meeting was held on Thursday evening at No. 3 City Hall Place. The organization was completed, and Committees on Membership, Room, and Constitution and By-laws were appointed, with power. The new organization appears to be composed of the right material to conduct the coming canvass with spirit. They claim that with a fair registry and count they will increase the vote in the Fourth and Sixth Wards. The Sixteenth Assembly District Fenton and Woodford Campaign Club hold a public meeting at their headquarters, Demilt Dispensary, corner of Twenty-third street and Second avenue, on next Wednesday evening. There will be speaking by Lieutenant-Gov. Thos. G. Alvord, Judge H. S. Lasar, of Missouri, Hon. Isaac Dayton and Wm. V. Wallace. The Union men of this district are determined to carry it, if hard work will do the business, and this meeting is but one of many which will be held in the district. The hall engaged for the meeting of Wednesday evening will not be large enough to contain the number that will be present, so those that wish to get positions where they can hear the eloquent speakers who are to deliver addresses should go early. There has been a “Fenton and Woodford Campaign Club” organized in the Twentieth Ward. The following officers have been chosen: President, Edwin C. Lee; First Vice-President, Bernard Hamman; Second Vice-President, Charles W. Weatherby; Recording Sec., Robert Hoag; Corresponding Sec., Wm. Wilson; Treasurer, Martin Thatcher. The members of this organization are young. Intelligent and enthusiastic Unionists. They will give a good account of themselves in the campaign. A Fenton Club has been formed in the Ninth Ward. The club is composed of the right sort of stuff—men who will take their coats off and work till glorious victory crowns their endeavors. The right spirit animates the members of the Union party in this city, and its effect will be felt on election day. A Call to the Fenton and Woodford Campaign Clubs.—The officers of the various Fenton and Woodford Campaign Clubs in this City are requested to meet on next Wednesday evening, Oct. 3d, at Runk’s Hotel, No. 274 Grand street. The object is the formation of a central organization, to co-operate with the General Committee in a vigorous and energetic prosecution of the campaign. A Proposition for Mr. Beecher. — Mr. Stephen M. Griswold, a member of Plymouth Church, proposes to deposit $1,000 in the hands of Mr. Beecher, to be distributed among the poor of his church, if he (Beecher) will show that one-quarter of the members of Plymouth Church agree with the views expressed by him in his Cleveland letter, or disapprove of the sentiments contained in the Plymouth Church address. Kings County Politics. —In Kings County there are four separate and distinct organizations. First, the Union Republican, which is solid, compact, and harmonious; and, although heretofore numerically in the minority, has, for the past four years, steadily increased in numbers and influence, until the County is no longer regarded as the stronghold of Democracy, and the ten thousand majority, upon which the unterrified used confidently to rely, reduced to less than two thousand. It is, indeed, believed by many that at the coming election, even this majority will be reversed, and transferred to the other side. The confidence in this belief is evinced by the eagerness with which nominations are sought and accepted, even by the very best men in the community. The Democracy is represented by three different organizations, each, so far as local affairs are concerned, working in opposition. There is the National Democratic General Committee, which is run mainly in the interest of and by John Linskey, Deputy Sheriff, and John Corboy, who has realized a fortune out of contracts obtained from the County. This is the oldest organization, and out of it has grown the Citizens’ Democratic General Committee, of which Hugh McLaughlin is the master spirit, and the Johnson Club, invented and mainly controlled by Thomas Kinsella, editor of the Eagle and newly-appointed Postmaster. The Union Republicans met in convention last week, and made the following nominations—Congressional, County, and City: Congress—Second District, James A. Van Brunt; Third District, Simeon B. Chittenden, for long and short terms. County.—For Sheriff, C C. Talbot; Surrogate, Peter W. Ostrander; Superintendent of Poor, John E. Costigan; Justice of the Sessions, J. W. Hoyt. City.—For City Judge, Geo. G. Reynolds; Street Commissioner, Jacob Worth. The Combination Conservative Copperhead Democratic nominations are expected to be as follows: For Congress, Third District—John D. McKenzie (short term), Wm. E. Robinson (long term); Second District—Demas Barnes. For Sheriff, Robert W. Steele; For Surrogate, R. C. Brainard; For Superintendent of the Poor, John Delaney; For City Judge, Daniel P. Brainard; For Street Commissioner, James Corboy; For Justice of the Sessions, Stephen I. Vorhies. The New Assembly Districts of Kings County.—The last Legislature under the new census, redistricted the State, and now Kings County has nine instead of seven districts, which has occasioned some changes that all our readers may not understand. For the benefit of such we publish the Wards composing the present Assembly District: First District—1st, 2nd, and 6th Wards. Second District—3rd, 4th, and 11th Wards. Third District—6th and 12th Wards. Fourth District—8th and 10th Wards. Fifth District—7th and 20th Wards. Sixth District—16th and 19th Wards. Seventh District—13th and 14th Wards. Eighth District—15th, 17th, and 18th Wards. Ninth District—9th Ward and the five county towns. The New Brooklyn Post Master. —Thomas Kinsella, formerly editor of the Eagle, enters upon the discharge of his new duties as postmaster on the first of October, (tomorrow.) A large number of the assistants employed in the office under Mr. Lincoln, have resigned, and many more are expected to do so. Doubtless all Union men will have to walk the plank. Resignation of a U. S. Marshal.— United States Marshal Antony Campbell, of Brooklyn has for the third time forwarded his resignation to the President, which has not been accepted. He now demands its immediate acceptance.
