Republican meeting for exutation over the
complete victory vas held this evening, and
Democrats are trying hard to break it up.
About two hundred drunken members of
that badly whipped faction entered the hall
and cheered for Seymour and Blair. The
Republicans replied by three roaring cheers
for Grant and Colfax, and those near the
door tried to Gust the drunken brawlers. A
hard fight ensued. The Union men were
at last victorious. The police, who are all
Democrats, valiantly remained IN the back
ground. One solitary Tanner was chased
through many Of the streets, but he escaped
unhurt. Two hundred or three hundred
rioters are about the hall, and it is not safe
for Republican to attempt to enter. Dam

BENNETT ON SOUTHERN POLITICIANS
The Herald of Tuesday thus discourses OF
southern politicians
"The southern political leaders are most
acute and audacious fellows. They are the
greatest politicians that ever existed. Even
their generals, headed by Robert E. Lee
and Beauregard, seem to be as skilful
and prudent in the politicians closet at
they were brave and cool on the field OF
battle. This was seen in Rosecrans's in
terview with them at the White Sulphur
Springs. Take them all together, whether
we regard them while conducting the Go
vernment for more than half century, OF
observe them in the work of breaking up the
Union, or in carrying on rebellion upon q
most gigantic scale, in building great war
ships in foreign ports, in bringing foreign
capitalists to their aid, in obliging foreign
courts to give them quasi recognition, in
humbugging old European diplomats, or
whether we look ut them after the war is
over proclaiming themselves the truest,
purest, most uncontaminated Of Union
men, lauding the Constitution as if they had
never raised finger to disturb it, and pro-
Tossing to be better lovers of republican in
situations and better friends of human
freedom than those who fought to defend
the one and procure the other, We see them
the same bold, impulsive, plucky, vehe-
ment, presumptuous, and audacious politi-
cal leaders. In sagacity and cunning they
out-Machiavelli Machiavelli. They play
the game Of the astute and subtle old
Italian statesman better than he could him
self, and in way, indeed, to charm the
very bones Of that ancient political philoso-
pher out of their tomb. The bitter feuds
Id Italy excited By Machiayelli, the array
ing of one side against another, the sharp
corners he turned in his diplomacy, his in
trigues, combinations and Vaccinations,
afford no parallel to the keenness, energy,
and intensity Of the southern political phi
losophers Of our day. They do things on a
grander scale. They can keep up CONT
nual feuds among their opponents; they
can attempt to break down q Government
one day which they swear the next they are
the only saviors of; they can arraign for
almost crimes the leader of the armies that
conquered them they can cajole or coerce a
great political party into nominating candi-
iates of their own selection for the Presiden-
cy; they can win to their side the support OF
three million human beings whom they
have held in bondage for centuries; in
short, they can perform deeds which, com
pared with those of the old Roman OF
italian politicians is like contrasting the
tremendous volcanic eruptions and earth
quakes of the American continent to the
pop-gun explosions of the volcanoes Of Eu-
rope.
These are the political leaders who in
1872, no matter what they may accomplish
in the meantime, will restore the entente
cordiale of the great Democratic party
smash up the Republican party, elect
Frank Blair or Pendleton to the Presidency
and pave the way for cenvury's perma'
nent asccndancy in the government Of the
United States"

The New York Herald states that an
iron steamer called the Dumbarton, which
has been fitting out at varions piers in tina:
city and Brooklyn, sailed under very mys
terious circumstances about six weeks ago.
Information in the hands of United States
Marshal Murray has led him to believe
that her object is to take cargo of slaves
from the coast Of Africa to Cuba or Brazil
There was no evidence tangible enough to
authorize seizure while she was in port,
but later information has confirmed the
Marshal in this belief since she sailed. l;
is thought that she will stop at one Of the
small Nova Scotia ports to take in addi-
tional supplies. Another vessel is fitting
out OF present, intended, it is supposed, for
the same purpose.
