tion was held yesterday at No. 200 Third avenue

tho Conference Committee assembled to hear report
from their sub committee their action at the
joint conference Saturday night regarding tho
county nominations The subcommittee reported
that thcy had opposed the nomination Of Thomas
Murphy for Register, according to Instructions and
that they handed to the joint conference the name
Of Henry Claussen TOR Alderman Largo. Tho action
OF the subcommittee was approved, and should Mr..
Clausscn refuse to Tor Alderman the
name Of Major G. H. Sauer will probably
be substituted in his stead. The meeting
OF the Executive Committee was then held,
and Dr. Gcrcke offered resolution that committee
OF twenty two, from each Assembly district, be
named who shall supervise all the matters connected
with election Jay, such as printing OF tickets pro-
curing boxes and men and othcr details. The resolu-
ton carried Mr Honry Wehle offered long
present condition Of the w0rkngmcn, and attrbu
ted the state Of affairs to bad government und dis
regard OF tho workingmens rights. 1t also alluded
the cigar makers strikes now going on, compared the
duties OF capital and labor and advocated the nomna
only Of such candidates Tor office should pledge
themselves 10 procure legislation looking toward a
remedy OF the workingnens troubles. The paper
caused quite discussion, and II was argued that IL
dealt with too many subjects II was finally referred
TO a com ntee with power to act on 1t. Then long
and nior NAL discussion ensued on the best men TO
nominate for local Offices the various districts, after
which the meeting adjourned.

JOHN MORRISSEY'S NOMINATION.

Senator Morriasey was found In his room yesterday
chatting with friend and apparently not at all con-

He did inclined TO discuss politics, but finally
consented to into tho following conversation
REPoRrnR-I see you were nominated for the Senate
by the AntLTammany Convention in tho Seventh
Senatorial district last night
Mr. MoRRissEY-So see by the newspapers
REPoRrBR-Do you intend to accept The nomination?
Mr. MoRRIssEr-I do provided that all Of the ele-
ments opposed 70 Tammany Hall, and who profess 10
want TO beat IT, unite.
KxpoRrER-Suppose the republicans should make
nomination What would you 40 theny
Mr. MoRRIssKY-I would not run, The district Is
democratic by from thousand to twelve thousand
majority. There can be no third nomination mado
that would not result in benefit TO Tammany Hail.
REPoRTKR-It is reported in one oi the morning
papers that Mr.. OBren will tor the Senate your
opponent II you are in the field.
Mr. MoRRIssEy-On, that can't be SO, as he was
candidate before the Convention for the nomination.
The motive that Il was done in tho interest Of Tam
many Hall would be so apparent TO everybody that
when he reflects upon the position such course
would place him IN he must abandon the idea even If
he ever seriously entertained It.

TIE WASHINGTON MONUMENT.

GENERAL GILMORE IN EXPLANATION OF THB
NEEDS OF THE FOUNDATION.
NEW YORK, Oct 20, 1871
To THE EDITOR OF TIE HRRALD:-
Your Washington correspondent in to-day's paper
has been led into In his satemcn TO tho effect
that the Board Of Engineers tho Washington Monu
ment based their belief that the underlying soil
scssed insufficient resistance to support the weight Of
the finished structure, upon the simple assumption
that the monument had settled few inches. On tho
contrary, they laid no stress upon that point but
formed their opinion upon q careful examination OF
the SOIL which found to contain large OF
compressble clay. Experiments proved That in
IN all blocks, rigidy confined on the sides iron
moulds, it was measuraby c0mpressiDe In two min
uies under weight equal to only two.fiths OF tnat
now eXerted by the monument ana only about two
sevcnths OF what II Will ii carried up the
duced height OF 400 ieet with the ightest walls
patible with strength and safety.
The present weight OF the monument (dve tons per
square foor is believed to TO q maximum load for
clay soils like that upon which II rests and know Of
no successful attempt to erect stable structure Of
greater weight upon any similar soil Most caycy
soils overloaded with four to four and half
with light walls to height of 400 feet, will exert
pressure OF little than tons per square
foot
II tho underlying soil be supported against lateral
displacement by a crcumscribing wall and weighted

the shaft with safety bo carried up TO height
OF 400 or oven 500 lcct. q. A. GILLM0RE.

AS soon Colorado is settled in the House,

will be presented the House from the other

annoyed tho republicans that consulta-
tion has been held TO decide as to their
course Rumor says that only fifteen repub-
that they viii vote for such resolution approving the
Southern policy and that Il has been decided that the

attempts will be made to amend the life out Of the

Il is probable that resolution viii appear In the
House a. an early day requesting the President TO
comm unicate TO the House all Information he may
have regard to the condition OF the Mexican border
aud precise account OF the number and kind OF the
so-called "outrages" and cattle raids committed
within the last year. II 10 now believed
that Mr.. Foster, Of Westchester county,
will have the offer OF the still vacant
appointment in the New York Custom House. He is
very highly recommended here by influential persons,
aud it may happen that he will be made Surveyor,

ALLEN G. BEACH.

AN INTERVIEW WITH THE DEMOCRATIC cANDl-
DATE FOR SECRETARY OF STATE ON THE
PROSPECTS OF THE cAMPAIoN-A DEMO-
CRATIC MAJORITY OF FIFTY THOUSAND PRE-
DIcTED.
MI. Allen G. Beach, tho democratic candidate Tor
Secretary OF State arrived in the city yesterday
reporter OF the HERALD paid visit 70 the gentleman
last night At tho ST. Nicnolss HOTEL and the course
OF conversation on tho political campaign, Mr.
Beach said that he had the slightest doubt that
the democracy would carry the State by majority OF
10000 He said that be had been In many Of the towns
recently, had conversed with a goodly number OF
democrats and he had been rather surprised at the
determination that was manifested TO come out and
vote he thought that for an ION" year there would
De q remarkably large democratic vote cast, and he
founded this anticipation on the deep seated disgust
everywhere manifested by democrats at being cheated
out or the Presidency last fall They felt that they
had worked very hard for the election OF their cand
date, that they had really elected him aud that they
had been cheated out OF the reward OF their labofs
This was wrong that they determined TO take the
hrst opportunity avenging Tho Southern policy OF
the President was accepted by them, but that
did dot obiterate the sense OF wrong that
had been done. He believed that tho effect
OF this feeling would be seen In o very remarkable
this year. II WAS upon the universal preva
ence OF this sentiment the that ne based his
expectations o. 80 large democratic majority he
had no doubt ne said that the State, outside OF New
York city, would give considerable democratic ma
jori.y.. The ansi-Tilden and the Tden men, the
united in action for all practical purposes this
pagn. He did not think the dissensions IN New York
city would affect the general result very considerably
There had always boon dissensions In the party
In New York ever since he had known H.
but he did not think that New York city or local
troubles would affect the general result IL was very
evident from hts observation In the State that the
publican party iet itself demoralized. There was
enthusiasm manifested about their ticket, and the
Conkling tactics ut Rochester had had the effect IN
many OF the republican county conventions OF pro-
voktng an Endorsement OF the administration. Conk
ling was In possession OF "the machine v but IL did
not work smoothly. II was not likely that the repub-
strength, but he repeated that he based his expecta
tions OF triumphant democratic victory not this
fact alone great victory tor the democrats was un-
questonably assured by the invinciole determination
OF tho democrats and OF many fair minded republicans
to place record their detestaton Of the fraud that
had been perDeirated in the Presidential election.
