New YORK, Aug. 6.--At a meeting of
the Executive Committee of the National
Democracy last evening, Ben. Wood pre-
siding, a communication was read from the
Tammany organization, inviting participa-
ton In grand ratification meeting of the
Baltimore nomination. The prevailing sem
timent was adverse to giving the proposed
meeting a partisan character. Hence it
| was decided TO have ratification meeting
and that conference on the subject be had
with other organizations.
Gov. Noyes, of Ohio, is In the city.
Alarge Greeley meeting was held in the
Sixth District last evening, which was ad
dressed by Gen. Fitzpatrick,
Chief Justice Chase Very III.
A Bristol (R. I.) dispatch says that Chief
Justice Chase is very i'll with Bright's dis
ease of the kidneys, and that by the advice
of his physicians be goes to the White
Mountains to-day, accompanied by Senator
Sprague.
Lafer-An Authorized Denial.
The Tribune will state tomorrow, on
authority, that the lately published reports
that Chief Justice Chase is in very criti-
cal condition, that he is suffering from a
complication of an acute disorder, and that
he is fast losing his intellect through soft
ening of the brain, are alike unwarranted
and wanton. The Chief Justice has been
suffering since his arrival at Narragausett
Pier with slight malaTial attack, the seeds
of which ne probably took with him from
Washington, but his brow is as unclouded
as ever.
