Tammany Hall.
From The ~ Y. Tribune
An informal reception was held at the new
Hall yesterday afternoon, and was attended by
pleased with the a. chitectural design of the
building, the interior decorations, and the
opens into Bryant;s Music Hall Much speeu
lation was INDUCED in as to the object of the
managers IN erecting an arch in front of the
building, and some doubt was expressed as to
whether the proprietors of the Chanler House,
following the example of Knox the halter,
might not sue out an Injunction against it, and
cause its removal. From about o'clock till
crowds came and went, and many thirsty indi-
vidusls fingered in hopes OF being summoned
as the sun began TO disappear they took their
leave, with the full determination of never
coming back again.

patriots labored so faithfully to bring about and
treason. He was the first Rebel to acknow-
ledge the right of freedman to speak in public
on The STAGE and did, in 1865. deliver eloquent
address in continuation of remarks made
by q dusky orator, formerly q chattel, but
recently transformed into human being by
same platform and to the same mixed audi.
ence of blacks and whites. General Hampton
is gentleman Of culture, is much loved by
those VINO are intimately acquainted with him,
and held in the highest respect by the people
of his district and State. He was thoroughly
structed, having taken the oath and received
his pardon for all past offenses against tho
Convention, but not being welldrilied politi.
