NEW YORK.
Movements Of the Irish, Germans and
ItaIlans---PsrsoaaIs New Planet.

NEW YORK, September 12.-An In
junction, which was obtained by
James M. McGregor, Superintendent
of the Department of Public Build
ings, restraining Judge Tappan, OF the
Second District Supreme Court, from
putting up two buildings on Fifty
seventh street, was vacated to-day
by Judge Barnard, who remarked
that he had become assured that the
department was conducted in man
ner which required strict investiga-
ton. Af1davits had been presented, /,
charging the officials of that depart
ment with black-mailing, and certain
lawyers, in its employ, had been
charged with bribery, stating that
they would bribe Judges in order to
extort money from applicants for per-
mits to build. An affidavit of John
Sexton, architect, states that in
August, 1870, he applied to Deputy
Superintendent Armstrong for per-
mission to put up two buildings, and
that he was sent to one Robert
Murray, who got the necessary per-
NIT and charged him five hundred
dollars. Mr.. Sexton said that the mat
ter was not worth twenty-five dollars,
whereupon Murray rej0ined, saying
that he had to divide the money with
the Judges. Three hundred and fifty
dollars was paid for what should have
been granted without any charge. The
Judge said that the grand jury should
look into the matter.
A movement has been begun
among the Germans with the object
of securing greater influence in local
politics than has yet been exercised
by the voters of that nationality. 1t
has been discovered that out of 10000
voters in Kings county, eleven thOus-
and are Germans.
Hon. J. F. Wilson and General G..
M. Dodge, OF Iowa, are at the St.
NichOlss.
The new planet recently discovered
by Professor Peters, at the Hamilton
College observatory, has been OBJ
served at the Naval Observatory at
Washington.
A meeting of Italians was held last
evening at the Germania Assembly
Rooms, Mr.. N. Conrad, presiding, at
which proposals were made for the
formation of political clubs, and the
organization of national bureau of
emigration, which should coop
crate with the Commissioners of
Emigration, and be the means of
securing to the newly-arrived Italian
emigrant protection and direction Un-
til able to make his own way in the
country, as well as to provide Ger
tain number of them with suitable
employment. A committee was ap-
pointed to call upon some prominent
bankers with the view of establishing
a bank for the benefit of emigrants,
and to receive and issue drafts, etc.
A meeting of irish wOrkingmen, to-
night, loudly applauded an address in
denunciatiOn of the Tammany lead
ers. O'DOnovan Rosa, in a short ad-
dress, regretted that Irishmen were
led by Tammany Hall. That ring was
referred to in bitter language. Mayor
Hall was spoken of as KnOw-NOth-
ing and juggler.
District Attorney Morris, of Brook
lyn, says that If the President and
officers of the Staten Island Ferry
Company are not brought to trial for
the Westfield disaster, by the New
York authorities, he will have them
indicted and tried in Brooklyn within
the next two months.

LONDON, September l2.-The fol-
lowing are the principal conditions of
the treaty made between Russia and
Prussia at Versailles in the early part
OF this year: Should war involve
Austria, by intervention or otherwise,
Russia was to act with Germany, fur
nishing a specified number of troops
and ships. The powers were 20 make
peace only on the following terms:
Austria was 10 renOunoe In favor OF
Germany, all Of Bohemia, Moravia,
Silesia, and the Duchy of Salisbury ;
Austria was to renOunce in favor OF
Russia the provinces Of Gallacia and
Dalmatia. When these changes be-
come accomplished facts, Russia was
to cede to Germany five towns with
harbors on the Baltic Sea, and part OF
the coat; and Prussia was to regard
the treaty of Paris as null, and so
pledge herself to an armed palticipa-
ton in the conQuests in the East, with
q force equal to Russia, and to a sub,
seouent partition of the conquered
territory. Russia was fooled, as was
France, IN 1855.

MARYLAND REPUBLICANS



BALTIMORE, September 12.-The
Republican State Convention, for
nominating candidate for Governor
and other officers, met here to-day.
All the counties except Talbot were
represented. Among the delegates
we're about twenty colored men.
Judge Weisel was chosen Chairman,
and @. G. Fulton, of the american,
and others, Vice Presidents. Jacob
Tome, of Cicil, was, by acclamation,
nominated for Governor; Alex. Ran
dali, of Annapolis, for Attorney GEN
eraI, and Lawrence J. Brengle, Of
Frederick, for State Comptroller.
Resolutions from the committee were
then read and unanimously adopted.
They sustained the administration,
commencing Its faithful execution of
the laws, its general honesty and eff
cheney of the public service, the rapid
decrease o! the public debt and tax
alton, and recommend the renOmina-
tiOn of Grant. Resolutions denOunc-
ing the principles and practices of the
Democratic party and favoring the
civil service reform were adopted,
while one favOring the annexation of
Odu Hfso 4EAAA OkA tAlC utbDAC ny
vote of 50 to IS, after an exciting de-
bate. Postmaster General CressWell
was present aBS-f made an address
strongly sustaining the administra-
ton, and the Convention passed a
a resolution commanding his admin
istration of affairs of the PostOfice
Department. The following is the
resolution on Tammany:
ResOLUed, That the recent conduct
of the Tammany Democracy of New
York shows that a large part of the
adherents are not even true to the
time-honored principle of religious
freedom, and to this is added the
astounding extravaganza and corrup-
ton recently exposed on the part Of
the Democratic government Of New
York, showing how unfit this divided,
and, to great extent, corrupt, organ
izatiOn is to govern a country saved
by loyal blood and preserved in peace
by the great party Of liberty.
Memphis daily appeal. [volume] (Memphis, Tenn.) 1847-1886, 1871-09-13
New Caledonia.

Our diNOatches, few days since,
ennoDneed the fitting out, at Cher
bonr0- of the French transport vessel
Garo1ne. which is intended to convey
y tx hundred Communist prisoners to
perpetual exile in New Caledonia.
This is probably only small portion
of those unfortunate people whom the
Fyindictive policy Of the Thiens goVe
ernment has doomed to punishment
in some respects worse than death,
and there IS likely to be a large scces-
sion 10 the population OF New Gale
donia from this source within the next
lew months.
The island where these exiles are to
find their future home lies In the New
Pacific ocean, z20 miles east northeast
of Queensland, In latitude ~, Y de-
grees 30 minutes south, and tongl-
1ude l64, 167 degrees east. 1t ls about
1WO hundred miles long and thirty
wide, and the inhabitants are roughly
estimated at 10000. A range OF
mountains, at some points 5000
feet in height, extend from
northwest to southwest, and the
coast is surrounded by dangerous sand
banks and coral reefs, which render
navigation extremely dangerous.
Port Calade on the northeast, and
Port st. Vincent on the southwest,
furnish the only secure harbors. The
soil OF the valleys in the interior is
fruitful, and produces cOcOanut, ba-
mana, mango, breadfruit, ETC., in
abundance. Considerable tracts Of
timber are found along the coast, but
the mountainous region is barren and
nearly destitute OF any Vegetation.
The island was discovered by Captain
Cook in liza, but it was not deemed
of sufficient importance to be perma-
nently occupied by an English colony,
and in 1854 the French took posses
sion OF il, and it is now held under
the same government as Otaheite and
MarQuesas. In 1854 the present con-
Vict settlement was started by the
sending out Of two hundred criminals,
who settled near NOumea, town at
the southern extremity Of the island.
The climate was found to be much
more healthy than that OF Cayenne
and the government soon tried the
ticket Of leave system with encourag-
ing success.
