THE COUNTY OFFICES.
In connection with the office OF County Register
the indications point TO the nomination Of Henry
Is. Archer by the republicans which In view OF
the democratic stronghold, Morrisania, having
mount to an election. Among tue demo-
Gratis the only candidate Tor the same
once mentioned is Theodore Pine. It
is not probable that the position OF
District Attorney will undergo any change, as
Daniel Clark Briggs, the present incumbent will
certainly be the republican candidate for re-
election to tnat important Office. That his course
has given satisfaction TO tine party may be safely
inferred from the fact that during the liberal re-
publican Presidential campaign ne followed the
banner OF the amented Horace Greeley, and was
one OF the most frank-spoken and formidable
advocates OF that movement In the county.
His having secured the conviction OF
six out or the seven .'masked burg
lars" who were each sentenced to
twenty years In the State Prison, will not soon be
tive OF party. His competitor on the democratic
side will PROBABLY be ex-County Judge Robert
Cochran. who, 1t would appear mas allowed him
self TO be switched" or from the Congressional
track only to receive the ambiguous compliment
OF nomination for District Attorney by HIS party.
For the minor county offces there is q host of
eager asprants. who are each cherishing the hope
that the County Convention may lend . favorable
ear 10 their respective claims.

REPUBLIoAN HEADQUARTERS.

The Calm Of Security-Nothing Doing
and Triumph Certain.
The beautiful calm which is inspired by the cer-
tainty Of triumph was witnessed yesterday at the
headquarters OF the Republican State Committee
at the Fifth Avenue Hotel. The private office OF
the Secretary OF the Committee has been rendered
comfortable by the addition OF q luxurious sofa
and some velvet-covered soft arm chairs, In which
the nabobs of the party may lol at their ease.
These chairs and the sofa were occupied yesterday
by friends OF the secretary, but scarcely any
republicans OF note visited the r0Oms In the
outer room clerk was putting up parcels OF
printed speeches OF COnkling and Morgan and
that was about all the activity that was visible to
The naked eye. The secretary stated that the adj
vices rom the interior were 'all right" However.
ne subsequently ntimated that there had been no
serious detection IN The republican party in any
part OF the state, so far as ne was able to Judge
from the reports reaching him every day.. When
vote, the secretary limited that they were, upon
the whole, not unsatisfactory. and con.
concerning the strength OF the temperance move
ment he was unable to state whether 1t was capa-
ble OF doing General Dix serious injury. Some OF
the straggers, who strayed into the room during
the day, made good deal OF run OF the democratic
nominee for Governor, coupling his name, in some
broad Jokes, with that OF s.Bossn Tweed. and ridi-
culing the alleged fealty OF the Irish element 10
the ''successori' OF the noted prisoner on Black
wells Island. TINS was about the only thing
which enlivencd the Republican Healauegter

Willis and several other members were IN favor OF
render such combination perfectly Irresistible
by attracting the entire German vote. The
matter was thoroughly canvassed, and there Is
no doubt that the liberal leaders are IN favor OF
the German candidate for the Mayoralty. General
C0chrane subsequently stated that in his opinion
the liberal party in this city would muster iron,

OF q Third Term-The Reports Un-
worthy Of Attention.
PATERSON, n. j., Oct. 10, 1874.
The Hon. George NJ. Robson, Secretary OF the
Navy, addressed an immense republican mass
meeting here last night. In the course OF his re-
marks he spoke Of the administration as being the
representative Of the republican party, and said
that neither the administration Its chief would
ever be found outside that party; nor would 1t nor
he ever be found acting contrary to the best in
terests of the nation, nor contrary to the estap-
lsned traditions Of the country. This remark was
understood TO refer to the "ihird termn agitation,
and was vociferously applauded. subsequently

with leading gentlemen or this city, Secretary
Robson, In reply to questions on the subject SAID
that President Grant had no idea OF q third term,
had never thought OF such a thing and regarded
the discussion OF tina. matter unworthy OF notice.
Hence his reticence on the subject except in con-
versation with his intimate friends, ali OF whom
are well acquainted with his views on the matter.
For this reason, too, he has avoided giving any
ofiictal expression OF his opinion on the subject
lest he might seem to attach too much importance
to the reports that have never had any foundation

some OF them from remote parts OF the State.
They were heartily received by the Secretary OF
the Democratic state Committee, Mr.. Swan, and
most OF their reports were OF an encouraging char
acter. Among those who visited the rooms yester-
day were senator Johnson, Chief Justice Church,
Samuel J. TildeD, Henry A. Richmond ana Asher
p. Nichols from Buffalo Cthe latter being the demo-
cratic nominee for Congress in the Erie dlstrct),
John V. Whiteh0use, OF Poughkeepsie &c Chief
Justice Church. In his conversation with Ar.
swan, expressed his firm conviction that the demo-
cratic ticket would sweep the state. and that MIR.

was no doubt that the Teutonic element would be

swan thought that he was An excellent candidate
for Mayor, and that he would be elected by hand
some majority.
In regard to the advces from the interior Mr..
Swan quoted letter from Senator JARVIS Lord, who
wrote that everything now indicated that even
in Monroe county, where Dix's majority was $500.
his majority would be very small. There was no
doubt that many republicans looked upon Dix's
reelection for second term as an endorsement
OF the third term Tor Grant, and that this convic.
tion among the rank and 1le OF the republican
party would greatly weaken Dix's strength at the
polls. The result OF the Tammany Convention
was received with all indications Of satisfaction,
but with none OF surprise, at the democratic head

SKETCHES OF THE CANDIDATES.

The Tammany Hall County Convention met at
abe Wlgwam, IN Fourteenth street, yesterday ar
Sernoon. The hour fixed for the opening OF the
proceedings was tdree O'Clock, but long before
that time there was an immense crowd In the
street, who vainly endeavored to gain admittance
before the delegates were admitted No delega-
ton was permitted to enter the hall unless
each delegate was able to show his particular
ticket. BY this means there was no crush
ing or crowding on the stairways. and
by the time outsiders were finally let in
the delegaJes had had time to secure their seats,
shus preventing q recurrence OF the old time
scenes, when outsiders were won't to occupy the
best seats and lend voice in the utua voting.
Mr.. John Kelly, who was very enthusiastically
greeted by the delegates, called the Convention to
order and proposed, on behalf OF the Committee
on Organization, Mr.. Augustus Schell as chairman.
This motion was carried unanimously. Mr.. Schell
on taxing the chair said:-

In his own peculiar way DR.. Lewis talks

no particular arrangement of its substance;
but is one witty tumble of paragraphs,
short sermons, essays, stories, and small

an instructive and straightforward talker
