THE TRIUMPH OF GRANT AND CoLPAx.-
The New York Herald says;
"The Vermont election OF Tuesday last was
as much a trial before the people of the
strength OF Grant and Colfax on the one side
and Seymour and Blair on the other as II they
had been directly voted forj and the result,
from our observations on these prelimin nary
local elections Of many years, Indicates the
try on the main question. We are prepared
for a similar result In Maine, some nine days
hence, and for corresponding Republican sue
sylvsnia, Ohio, and Indiana. Iu the event of
such successes no doubt will remain as to the
presidential issue in November. The election
Of 1858 will be substantially the election Of
1884 over again, and the success Of Grant In
his first heat may be even more decisive In the
general result than that OF Lincoln In his
second election.
the times indicate an overwhelming triumph
to Grant and Colfax.n

Funeral of the Late Ex-Governor
SeNmOur. of Connecticut

HARTFORD, Sept. THE funeral of ex-Goy-
ernor Thomas II. Seymour took place to-day.
Despite the cloudy skies, the streets were
thronged with people who came on the early
trains from every neighboring town. Flags
/ were displayed at half mast on the public and
many private buildings, and many stores and
residences were draped In mourning.
Services were held at the residence of the
deceased at II O'Clock, a. m, by the knight
Templars, after which the body was conveyed
by them to Christ church where 1t lay 10 state
until o'clock, and was visited by Thousands
Of people.
The remains were encased In heavy rose
wood casket covered with black cloth with
silver trimmings.
The plate bore the inscription Thomas H.
Seymour, died September Sd, 1868, aged 60
years" The body was attired In black, and
near 1t was the sword of the deceased, while
on the left breast rested the Masonic jewel Of
his order, but few months ago presented by
his brother Masons.
For over two hours the throng moved past
the coffin to take a last look at the face of the
honored dead. The features retained a life
like expression, and the face bore an express
sion Of perfect peace.
A little after 2 o'clock the services at the
church were concluded, and the procession
was formed, consisting in part of three mill.
tary companies, with bands of music, knights
Templar from Hartford, New Haven, and
Springfield, with banda, Masonic lodges, Gov.
English and stan, judges and clerks of the
State courts, and members Of the bar and city
governments, and Irish and German civic
societies, making the procession about mile
In length.
The cortege moved down Main street and
out to Cedcr Hill Cemetery, where the rel mains
were inferred. Minute guns were fired during
the march Of the procession.
Among the distinguished friends OF the
deceased present, were Hon. o. S. Seymour,
of Litchheld; General Pittman, of Manches-
ter, N. HI Judge Carpenter, of Wealkerheld.
The funeral was one Of the largest ever seen
| in the State.

Meeting OF the Expelled Georgia
LegIsIatOrs.

SAVANNAH, Ga, Sept. IA. A. Bradley
colored, and others lately expelled from the
Georgia Senate, held a Republican meeting
this evening. Bradley said that CHIT and
other carpet.baggers and Yankees were not to
be trusted, and advised the negroes not to
trust the white people, especially Yankees,
who were the meanest people on earth. lie
doubted II even mulsttoes could be trusted,
because they have white blood In their veins
which might gain the mastery.
He said the recent action of the Georgia
Legislature, turning out negroes, would ill.,
crease the majority for Grant. He at first
thought that the negro members would draw
reyolvers and assert their rights In blood,
which would have benefited the Democrats,
and he was glad that they had done other
wife. He thought that the coming election,
whichever way 1t went, would cause blood to
be she'd
The whole speech was OF rambling and
contradictory character, many hearers were
doubtful which side was supported. He
spoke nearly the whole evening. About Ave
hundred persons were present, and the meet
passed Off quietly.

LONDON, Sept. THE Daily Netrs comment

The Rev. s. Bellows, of New York, has
written = letter to the London Times on the
Irish Church question.
He says the disestablishment of the Irish
Church is 4 measure OF even more Importance
to the foreign relations than to the internal
interest of Great Britain. The accomplish

toward the removal OF those grievances which
serve so powerfully to infame the feelings OF
the Irish In America against the British Gov.

exist, may make war, provoked by the per.
sistent efforts OF Irish leaders, at any time be-
tween England and America.
LONDON, Sept. murphy, Of Manchester,
the noted public assailant OF Romanism,
whose speeches have so often been attended
with rioting, has offered himself as one Of the
candidates to represent that city in the House
Of Commons at the coming election. This
makes the sixth candidate for Manchester.
On Saturday evening a meeting was called In
the interest OF Murphy. It is estimated that
there were six thousand persons present.
Speeches were made advocating his claims,
and denouncing the conduct OF the magistrates
towards him in the matter of the Ashton riots
in May last.
While the speaking was going on, the meet.
Ing was attacked by a mob OF Irish Catholics
who charged on the platform and dispersed the
speakers. A general fight ensued, which lasted
during nearly an hour. Clubs, stones, and
other weapons were used, and persons were
badly injured. The police at last succeeded In
quelling the riot, and arresting several ring
leaders. The city was greatly excited, and
there were renewals of disorder during the
night and on Saturday.
The London Times, in its city article to-day
says the annexation Of Mexico to the United
States is desirable; the time is not yet ripe
and that the object could not be accomplished
now without a needless cost of money and
! blood.
MANCHESTER, Sept. 7.-Thirty.seven per.
sons, who were arrested for taking part, on
both sides, In the riots on Saturday and Sun.
day, were brought before the police magistrate
to-day, and after a short preliminary investi

newal of disturbances is feared. Every pre-
caution is being taken by the authorities tc
preserve order.

NEW ORLEANS, Sept. THE House. on
Saturday, passed a bill vesting the entire con-
troll OF the New Orleans public schools In a
board OF sixteen directors, to be appointed by
the Governor and confirmed by the Senate.
This will probably kill Conway's bill. A bill
was also introduced prohibiting the opening
of public schools for the present. 1t was
placed on the calendar for future reference.
In the meantime the schools opened to-day
under the direction Of the old board, and with
the former regulations In force.
The tegistTation bill was finally passed.
