New YORK, September 1l.-The CO.
quetry between Charles OConor and
the Committee OF seven Bourbon
StraigLts, which commenced yesterday,
with no definite result, has continued TO
dav without a fixed conclusion. The
Committee ia composed o. New Workers
except W. F. Moreau, o. IHd'ana, and
Msjor Byington, Of Iowa. OConor met
the Committees earl Y overtures with
firm refusal, but he was informed that
addresses had been prepared, and that
one of them w)uli be read TO day. The
Committee held subsequent consuIta-
ZION over the two addresses. s4uelched
that prepared by Judge Barrett, and
adopted Moreau's. Mr.. OConor was
duly bombarded to-day with Moreaus
persuasive eloquence. Moreau argued
that the late elections show Greeley
certainly defeated. and the only possi-
billty OF success would be regular
nomination that could control a large
percentage OF Democrats who would
vote for Grant in preference. II stated,
positively that many influential MEM
bers OF Greeley organizations have pro-
fessed themselves ready TO support Mr.
O'Couor if nominated. Mr.. OConor
then stated that II it could besbown TO
his satisfaction that anv considerable
number OF citizens OF New York felt so,
it might modify his decision.
A meeting was held to prepare a cir
cular tor signatures. 1t s-tG forth all
the planks in the Louisville platform,
and pledges the signers to support and
use their influence Tor the nominations
at Louisville. The paper is now ready,
aud when it has a sufficient number o.
signers it will be again presented TO
O'Conor. This probably ends the long
winded fiasco, for not solitary infiu-
ential Greeley mao has been heard o.
who will sign the document. On the
contrary, may be instanced Judge Jos.
r. Flanders. who was one Of the lore
most in the Kentucky movement ln
conversation with q reporter to-day,
Judge Flanders repudiated the whoe
scheme. He sail it was plainly seen

the Administration.

the wishes OF two factions, which were
opposed to each other, and his manhood
and independence would bring big
price in the Office of Governor. He
made the swan and has reaped the re-
ward. Admitted as it is, however, on
all sides here, that the late elections in
this State had no bearing whatsoever
upon the Presidential canvass, yet it is
claimed by the Cincinnati Gazette and
other papers OF that stripe that Grant
has enjoyed triumph in West Viz
ginia.
This may ell sound well and do well
abroad; but here where the truth IS
known, the confidence of the Radicals
is shaken in the strength OF Grant when
:hey see the measures to which his ex-
tremilies drive him. THE State will
give more than 10000 majority for
Greeley ami Brown. 1t gives from 5000
TO 5000 msjority for the new Constitu.
ton; and it is conceded on all sides that
the Constitution did not poll the Gree
lev vote OF the State by 5000 to 5000.
In this county, for instance, which gave
a majority OF IT'S votes for Jacob, .
Greeley Club has been organized, and
is enrolling upon its lists the Jacob
Democrats to q man. The permanent
organization OF the club will take place
on Monday night at the Cotton Opera
House, where mass meeting will be
had and addressed by Democrats and
Liberals, without regard TO the late dlt-
terences of opinion as to Governor.
Mr.. Jacob has also declared for
CIR .eley, and it is announced on good
authority that he will publish shortly
bis views in detail upon the political
situation. 1t ia fair to add that Mr..
Jacob is regarded as man OF integrity
his moral character is above re-
proach. He ia man Of fine physique,
OF iair average intellect and extraor-
dinary devotion to his tavorites. His
faults are an inoriinste vanity and a
remarkable obscurty Of vision when
the path of his political duties comes in
contact with his individual interests.
He has been a good Governor for two
wears, and will be a COOL Governor for
four years longer. His election has
cost the Democracy OF this State n
number OF smaller Offices, and gained
nothing OF consequence to the Repnbll-
cans. Their fight WAS made upon the
constitution, an in its ratification they
have lost the battle.
The West Virginia Journal a simon
pure, orthodox, blood-snd-thunier
Journal OF Radicalism, contains the
following sad, frank reflection: 1--WE
cannot claim the election Of Governor
Jacob as a Republican victory this
would be wrong" # would, indeed, be
wrong, and it must be great wrong to
stayger the Journal. That paper don't
often stop at things for the reasons as
signei.

brushing their sides with their tails. Darious
Immediately noticed this, and grasping the
partition door, suddenly closed it with
crash, leaving him alone with single tiger.
The closing Of the partition. or the separa-
ton from his mate, enraged this beast, and
seeing the trainers face turned away, he
made ono spring, uttered single terrific
groan, and in second was on Herr
Darious's back with bis claws in his hair.
As the latter fell to the floor he uttered
shout which brought number of the en-
ployees Of the establishment to TIE scene,
but their fear unnamed them, and prevent
ed them from rendering the trainer any as
sistance. During this time Dlrious, with
rare presence Of mind, lay perfectly still,
knowing full we'll that SIM gle movement
might result in his instant death The 9TH
er animals seeing he attack and hearing
the noise, set up simultaneously terrible
bowling, roaring, and grooming. and the
scene became perfect pandemonium. The
valuable performing horses in the adjoining
stable were removed les, their terror should
overcome them The tumult reached the
elephants quarters, and it was matter of
great difficulty to keep them quiet especial
ly old Romeo the monster who kills
keeper every ore or two years the smaller
elephants We're less disturbed. In the ur-
per story a cocoon gnoo, or horned horse,
one OF Mr. Forepaugh's neutrality-suspicious.,
and one of the most vicious of all animals,
broke t. rough bis cage and made an imme-
diate and terrible attack on one of the zebra
cages, containing beautiful and valuable
animal. Ia less than moment the front
was battered down and tue poor zebra lay
dying, gored to death. Proceeding to the
den containing the great Gland. the gnoo
began to battle at the wirework here, but
his horns becoming entangled, he was cap
tured and placed in safe quarters without
doing further damage.
All this occurred in very short space
of time, and Herr Darious still lay in tie
tigers den quiet as death, when the plopri
etor of the establishment. Adam Forepaugh,
suddenly drove up in his carriage, and en-
tering the building, took in the situation at
glance. With the rapidity of thought,
and with daring rarely equalled, he rush
ed directly to the front Of the den where
Darious lay, put his hand in, grasped one
of the tigers hind legs, drew it through the
bars, and bracing his feet pulled with a
strength never exerted before-pulled for a
human life. The tiger turned to see whence
came this attack in the lear, just as Mr.
Forepaugh had foreseen he would turn.
| then he shouted to Darious, and as the IT,
ger loosened his hold the trainer sprang up,
opened the door, and escaped luckily with
a few scratches. The scene was enc never
to be forgotten by those who witnessed it.,

tigers and two fine lions They were to be

power over the brute creation than for mere
qualification Of morbid appetite. Herr
Darious, in whose charge the animals were
placed, is famous throughout Europe for his
great success il training wild animals, and
