Presidency of the Senate.

1t seems to be now considered that there
is no further doubt as to Vice President
Colfax assuming early charge of the edi-
torial conduct of the Tribune. There are
two or three Western Senators mentioned
in connection with the po 'ition of Presi-
dent pro ten, of the Senate after the re-
tirement of Mr.. Colfax, but the majority
of the body, it is thought, incline to Dir.

NTON SPECTATOR AND GENERAL ADVERTISER.
Gen. Jno. Echols,

From the Charleston Courier, published in
Charleston, Kanawha county, w. Va, we
learn Gen. Echols was in that place the latter
part of last week on his return from ''an ex-
tended tour through the Southern portion of
Ohio, where he has been looking after the pro-
posed Western connection of the Chesapeake
& Ohio road. He has been for some time
energetically devoting his time and talents to
the advancement Of this great enterprise, with
which he stands so prominently connected
We are glad to learn that the extention of this
road through the Southern portion of Ohio, to.
ward the trade centers of the great West is an
event of the near future, and especially pleased
to be assured that this extension will bring the
great material resources of the Kanawha valley
into the most advantageous public notice.
Kanawha coal fields are exciting great interest
in the West, by reason of the superiority, rich
ness and accessibility of their supply. The
manufacturing interests of Southern Ohio par
ticularly are deeply concerned in their speedy
and thorough development. Such develop
ment, through the agency of abundant capital
and enterprise from our sister State, may be
safely relied upon, as one of the beneficial events
to follow the completion of the Chesapeake &
Ohio Westward.

Grand Meeting in N. Y. City.

The meeting held in New York City on last
Thursday night by the Democrats and Liberal
Republicans to ratify the nominations of Gree
ley and Brown for President and Vice-Presi-
dent and of Herman and Depew for Governor
and Lieut. Governor of that State, was the
grandest political demonstration ever made in
| this country. and augurs the triumphant sue
cess of the Democrats and Liberal Republicans
in the Empire State in November next. The
large vote Of that State is sure to be cast fol
Greeley and Brown. On last Thursday night,
| forty thousand persons turned out in New Y ork
City to ratify the nominations of the National
and State tickets. Seven large meetings were
held at the same time, each addressed by num-
Der. of able speakers. Tammany Hall was pack
ed before the hour appointed for the meeting.
Then in few minutes Irving Hall was filled.
Besides the meetings in these spacious Halls,
there were five others held out-of- doors at as
many stands erected for the purpose.
Hon. r. M. T. Hunter and Gov. Gilbert G.
Walker of this State were among the number
of speakers on this occasion. Mr.. Hunter
speech was carefully prepared and was marked
with the ability for which he is so eminently
distinguished.
He gave the reasons why he and others who
had in the past been opposed in politics to Gree
ley felt it their duty to give him hearty and
earnest support in this canvass.
Gov. Walker made an effective speech, and
expressed the qualification he felt in the assur-
ance that both the State of his nativity and the
State of his adoption-New York and Virgin
ia-would give large majorities in November
next for Greeley and Brown.
Mr.. Hunter addressed the audience in Tam
many Hall, and Gov. Walker that in Irving
Hall.
The audience in Tammany Hall was address
ed by Algernon s. Sullivan, Francis Herman
