Meeting at New York.
Letter from Influential Citizens Of Gin.
cinnati and st. Louis.

CINCINNATI, May 29.-The following
communication, signed by the Liberal
Republicans and Democrats of Cincin-
natl whose names appear, has been for
warded to the Reform meeting to be
held at Steinway Hall, New York City,
tomorrow night:
CINCINATTI, May p, 1872.
To William Cullen Bryant, David A. Wells,
Edward Atkinson and those meeting with
you in New York on May 30, 1872;
GeRtlen1eR-We observe with great
pleasure your call for a meeting at
Steinway Hall on the thirtieth instant,
and, as among those who sympathize
with the objects that you propose, we
venture to urge upon you that the
time requires prompt and energetic
action upon the part of those opposed
to the election of either Grant or Gree
ley, and we hope thatyOu will not fail to
initiate such action. We suggest that
YOU take either of the two courses
which may commend itself to you as
the best. First, to nominate at once, at
your meeting, candidates for President
and Nice-President; on the second, to
call a meeting of representative men
to make nominations at Steinway Hall
for some day not later than the twenty
seventh Of June. We will pledge our
selves to heartily cooperate with you in
such action or in any other course that
you may adopt to secure the end of
placing a ticket in the field that shall
fifty represent the principles embodied
in the platform adopted by the reunion
and reform convention recently held at
Cincinnati. Yours truly,

SOUTH CAROLINA.
The Blue Ridge RailrOad-A Large and
Important Suit.

NEW YORK, May pa New York
firm has brought suit in the Supreme
Court, in behalf of some stockholders of
the Blue Ridge railroad, Of South Caro-
lima, against the President and Exeeu-
tive Committee of the road. The first
is charged with misappropriation of the
funds of the company; and the COM
plant alleges that in accordance with
a bill passed by the South Carolina Leg
islature last March, four hundred thou
sand dollars of the bonds of the eompa-
ny, guaranteed by the State, were ex-
changed for revenue bond scrip, which
was to be receivable by the State for
taxes. The complaint further alleges
that the President of the road, John
J. Patterson obtained possession of
eighteen hundred thousand dollars of
this scrip, and obtaining loans upon
portion of it, divided the money and
scrip among his personal friends, and
the members of the South Carolina Le-
gislatTe. The complainant also alleges
that the Treasurer of South Carolina
had received fifty thousand dollars.
Judge Ingram granted the ordertO show
cause why the injunction should not be
issued, and a receiver appointed. The
question was argued before Judge Leon
ard to-day, as to whether courts of this
State had jurisdiction in the matter, as
the plaintiffs are nonresident. Decision
of reversi0n was rendered.

GEORGIA.
Meeting OF the Democracy Of Richmond
County TO Appoint Delegates.
Resolutions and Speeches Indicating
Probable Course Of Georgia.

AUGUSTA, May ga large meeting
of the Democrats of Richmond county
was held this evening to nominate del
gates to the State Convention at Atlanta
on the twenty-eighth of June.
Judge l.. Stephens advocated the
nomination Of'a Democratic candidate
for President, as he saw no choice be-
tween Grant and Greeley.
General Wright would abide the ac-
ton of the National Convention, but in
any event he would support Greeley in
preference to Grant.
Hon. H. w. Hillard indOrsed the Lib
eral platform, and favored the nomina-
ton of Greeley.
Other speakers indOrsed the Liberal
movement.
Resolutions were unanimously adopt
ed favOring alliance with any party
which will secure local self-gOvernment,
the SubOr linatiOn of military to civil
authority, the preservation unimpaired
of the habeds corpus, and the checking
of the centralizing tendencies of the
Federal Government; that all other sub
jeets of political contention are insignifi-
cant when compared with these, and
that no dictate of principle or honor
fOrbids the alliance of the Democratic
party with the other assailants of the
common enemy, or requires the DEM
ocratic party to prefer certain defeat to
partial victory.
This is the first important Democratic
meeting in Georgia, and is regarded as
an index of popularopinion In the State.

On the motion of Mr.. Sawyer, the
Senate bills authorizing the construction
OF railroad bridges across the Missouri
river at Omaha and Brownsville, Ne
braska, were passed. ~
The bill to issue assignable land
grants for homesteads to soldiers and
sailors came up, but the House refused
to second the previous question by vote
of sixty-seven to seventy-seven. The
bill went over.
Mr.. Butler Massachusetts, moved
to suspend the rules and pass the Senate
bill fixing the Congressional and Presl-
dentIal elections, IN Louisiana, on the
same day, was agreed to.
Mr.. Garfield called attention to the
clause in the bill passed the other
day increasing the pensions for disabili-
ties, The words, Cor any disability to a
degree for which there Is no other pen
sion provided for in this act, thirteen
dollars month" +" would necessarily in
crease all invalid pensions to thirteen
dollars.
Mr.. Moore, Chairman Of the Commit
tee on Invalid Pensions, explained that
it was an oversight which could easily
be remedied by a committee Of confer
ence.
Mr.. Halsey, from the Committee ON
Public Buildings and Grounds, reported
. bin appropTlating two hundred thou
sand dollars for site and building for

GENERAL HOOKER.
The Charlottesville FaiIure-Grant De-
nOuneed and Greeley IndOrsed.

SAN FRANCISCO, May 23.-in this
mornings issue of The Daily Chronicle
appears long account of an interview
between General Joe Hooker and a
Chronicle reporter, which attracts wide
attention here. General Howard re-
Gently admitted to this reporter that he
was to blame for the failure at Chaneel-
lOrsville. This having been published,
led to an interview with General Hook
er, who stated to the reporter that How
ards admission was a tardy and imper-
feet one. He spoke of Howard as in
competent and disObedient; said that he
was better fitted to lead prayer meet
ing than an army corps; that he was
sent on his Arizona expedition to avoid
Freedman's Bureau investigation.
He denounced Grant as having no more
moral sense than a dog, and expressed
the conviction that Greeley will be the
next President. He ridiculed Sherman,
Halleck. Carl Schurz, Stoneman, and
Averill. He is in favor of general am
nesty. He declares his Intention to
cause the Charlottesville matter to be
cleared up, so that the blame may rest
ON Howard, where, he says, it properly
belongs. The matter will, undoubtedly,
create profound sensation in the East.

THE WASHINGTON TREATY.
Great Britain Does Not Accept the Addl.
tiOnal Article.

WASHINGTON, Nav 29.-Secretary
Fish having received dispatches from
London this afternoon, drove to the
capitol in order TO communicate their
contents to the President. While the
President and Secretary Fish were to-
gether in a room set apart for the Presi-
dent, Senators Cameron, Morton, Harlan
and other members of the Committee on
Foreign Relations, with additional Re-
publican Senators, were seen going INTO
and coming out of the room. There is
no doubt the conversation was on the
subject of our present diplomatic busi-
ness with Great Britain. Nothing defin-
ite, however, could be obtained concern
ing the character of the dispatches, but
there was report that the English Min
istry hesitate to accept the additional
article to the Treaty of Washington, as
modified by the Senate, the EaiYlng qi
claims for Indirect damage not being eKz
pressed with sufficient distinctness, the
United States merely proposing a new
rule to govern the action of the tribunal
ef arbitration, having the effect to ex-
ciude that class of cases. Whatever
may be the ultimate disposition of the
article, it is certain that up 10 fiveO Oclock
this afternoon there had been no definite
response from the British Government.
Much Interest on the subject is expressed
in executive, diplomatic, and other cir
cles. An unusually large number OF
kilograms passed between the two cOun-
tries to-day.

FIRST FRUITS.

We have not had long to wait to real
ize the power and potency Of the move
ment 10 lead which Horace Greeley has
been called from the ranks of Journal
ism. The contest for a seat i'm the United
States Senate, which in Connecticut
united the Democrats and Liberal Re-
publieans, resulting in the reelection OF
senator Ferry, was the first fruits; and
now, following hastily after, we have
shree signal defeats of Radicalism
announced to the public by tel
egraph from Washington yester-
day. The Ku-Rlux Bill, by which
Grant hoped to control elections
in the South, was defeated by the
decisive vote Of los noes to 81 yeas; the
Senate Supplementary Civil Rights Bill
10y ll3 noes to So yeas; and the Senate
Bin Amendatory Of the Civil Rights
Bill by ll5 noes TO 81 yeas. neach case
tine Liberal Republicans Of the House
voted with the Democrats, the names of
twenty-three Of them being given as
follows:
Amber, Blair [Aiiehiganl, Burchard, Cotton,
Donnan, FaFnsWorth, Finklenburg, GARFIELD,
Goodrich. Hale, Hay IilinOisl, Kellogg lCOn-
neciicutl, Lowe, McCrary, Morphis, Peters,
Sheldon, smith Vermont, strong, StOughtOn,
>Sypher, Whiteley and Willard.
In the prompt action OF these Repub-
Iicans we have an earnest Of what
awaits the country of relief from malev-
oIent and malicious legislation, should
the Democratic party act with wisdom
at Baltimore and indorse the nominal
tions of Cincinnati, TO which already
the rank and file and nearly all the lead
ing journals are committed. With these
gentlemen there was neither doubling
nor halting. They had pledged them
selves to the Liberal nominees, whose pri-
NAL promise was relief for the South, and
tbe first opportunity offering they re-
deemed that promise. And so, impaEtiDg
additional strength to the new move
ment. they give the Democracy the
very best assurances that whatever
may come they mean to stand nrmly
by their eOlors. The vote thus cast,
fofling as it does the plans Of Grant and
his partlsans, has lifted from the hearts
OF the Southern people weight that for
severaI months had hung over them
like a pail, almost paralyzing their ef-
forts in every department of trade.
Capital, proserbialiy timid, would not
venture where a HKukluK Bill7 was like

graduation Of a long-sufering people, nor
where, from the enforeementOf of the "Civ-
II Rights Bill, " bloody riots were a possi-
BILE result. We read with almost dismay
of the passage of these measures through
the Senate, and feared lest, by some
species of party jugglery, they would
also receive the consent of the House.
Our fears have proven groundless.
Thank God Relief has come. The
Liberal Republicans have been true to
their pledges. They voted with the
Democrats, and in so doing have killed
the worst measures that ever emanated
from a Radical brain. All honor to the
men who thus 50 promptly came to our
relief. They are entitled to and have
our confidence. We must, at Baltimore,
earn theirs by an endorsement Of
Greeley and Brown.

NASHVILLE.
Mr.. Jefferson Davis and Horace Gree
ley's Nomination by the Liberals.
Letter to General Wade Hampton-An
Authoritative and General Denial.

NASHVILLE, May 29.-Mr. Andrew J..
Kellar, editor of the Memphis AUa-
IaRche, who arrived here to-day, states
that Jefferson Davis has written letter
to General Wade Hampton, declaring
adds that the Democratic party would
act unwisely to make a nomination at
Baltimore. AS a man, Mr.. Davis could
not refuse to support Mr.. Greeley for his
kindness under trying circumstances.
The opinion at Memphis to this extent
sustains Mr.. Davis: but il is said that
as Alexander II. Stephens and Davis
have always disagreed, it follows that.
as Stephens opposed Greeley, Davis
therefore supports him, and finally the
old leaders see the folly of opposing
public opinion, and they are unable to
make it and must follow, willingly or
unwillingly.
PER CONTRA.
Mr.. Davis has carefully abstained
from either writing or saying anything
for the public on the subject of the COM
ing Presidential contest. We are fully
advised, and authoritatively say that
Mr.. Davis has not declared himself in
favor of any candidate for the Presiden-
cy; that, like many others among us, he
will wait for developments, and if there
be nothing better for us than a choice of
evils-that is selection between Liberal
and Radical Republicans-willunite with
the first. The supremacy of law is
need too vital to the South to permit
hesitation as to preference for Greeley
over Grant.
Finally, it is untrue that Mr.. Davis
has avOwed a purpose to support Mr..
Greeley for personal or other eonsidera-
tions, though he appreciates the kind
ness done to him by Mr. Greeley, and
all the more because it was prompted by
higher considerations than wish to rem
der a personal service.
The assumption of a necessary differ
ence of opinion from Mr.. Stephens, is
quite gratuitous, as never before was
there as full coincidence as during the
last year, and at the present time.-[ED-
ITORS APPEAL.

Mr.. Tyner, from the same committee,
reported like bill for Nashville, Ten
nesse, appropriAting one hundred and
| fifty thousand dollars. Passed.
Mr.. Banks from the Committee on
foreign affairs reported a bill TO release
the Government Of Japan from the pay
ment of the balance of the indemnity
fund remaining unpaid under the con-
vention OF October ., 1854, amounting
to three hundred and seventy-five thou
sand dollars. After considerable discus
sion by Mr.. Millard and others, the bill
passed without yeas and nays.
There a.e seventy-two Senate bills on
the Speakers table, the supplementary
civil rights bill being the last but five.
Mr.. Dickey presented a conference re-
port on the army appropriation bill,
which was agreed to.
The conference had been unable to
agree on the question of apprOpriating
two hundred thousand dollars for build
ings at Fort LeavenwOrth, Kansas, the
Senate conferees insisting on that item
being retained.
After long discussion the House re-
fused to recede from its disagreement to
the Senate amendment and the matter
was referred to the same conference
committee.
Mr.. Wilson [Indianal moved to sus-
pend the rules and pass the bill to divide
the State of Illinois into three judicial
districts, agree TO. Yeas 1876, nays 40.
The Florida contested election case
was continued to the next session of
Congress, with leave to take further
testimony.
Mr.. Butler Massachusetts from the
kuklux Committee reported a bill to
amend the enforcement act in regard to
elections. This bill was q signal for op-
position and to resort to parliamentary
tactics to prevent vote.
Mr.. Holman opened the ball by a
motion to adjourn. which was supple
mented by motion Of Mr.. Woods that
when the House adjourn, it adjourn to
meet on Friday next.
Alternatly these two resolutions,
which are always in order, may occupy
the time of the mouse indefinitely.
After several votes by yeas and nays,
the Democrats showing no signs of
yielding, and many Republicans not
caring to keep up the useless contest, the
motion to adjourn was carried-yeas1 102,
nays 85.
