HIS ADMINISTRATION.

HIS ADMINISTRATIONS.
Governor Morton arrived in New-York from AL
bany about o'clock last evening and went to the
Renaissance. in West Forty-third-st, his usual
home during his short visits TO the metropolis
The Governor although in excellent health was
feeling considerably fatgued by his trip down the
river and excused himself on that account 10
newspaper men as well to patriotic citizens
who called last evening to congratulate MN on
his popular act of yesterday in a1iXing HIS sisn'
ture on the anniversary of the birth of the Father
of His Country to the Lawson BILL wnch loi ioiuS

ings in this State
Tho nevs of Governor Mortons coming soon
snread among the politicians of the city, ana II
became known that his arrival was not uneXpect-
ed Its object according to those claiming al
vance information. was To be found IN 'he Gov
ernor's Willingness to lend his assistance Ill ie-
storing peace and harmony to the warrng Repuo-
lcan factions of this city. Inquiry for Mr.. Platt
speedily revealed the fact that he was not at
home but that he had started out from the Firth
Avenue Hotel after the Governor reached town.
Mr.. Platt was moving in the direction OF the
Reservoir, at Fifth-ave. and Fortysecond-st.' and
later advices were satisfactory as to his having
seen the Governor at the Renaissance.
MORE CONFERENCES TODAY
More conferences are on the programme for to-
day, and possibly for tomorrow. But they VIII
not be of the warlike description which character
tied the gathering Of the Platt clans last Satur-
day and Sunday. Instead of blood-curdhhg
threats of vengeance against Mayor Strong for
his neglect TO listen to Mr.. Platt's desires and
to appoint such municipal officers as he had
selected the talk will be of brotherly love and
pacifcation. 1t did not take Mr. Platt long TO
discover that the Theory Of retaliation would
not work Therefore the plans have undergone
an entire change.
What part the Governor to play in bring
ing about a settlement principally con-
1ectural last night. Nobody believed, however
that he could be drawn into any arrangement
which would identify him with an attempt 10 III
duce Mayor Strong to alter the poncy OF MS au-
ministration. Nor is 1t probable that the Gov
ernor has any desire or purpose to interfere win
the course which the Mayor has marked out ana
10 which he means 10 adhere.

of many prominent Republicans renders II proDa-
Bile that there will oe no lack Of c1unse. Oh d

THE MAYOR FIRM.
Some of Mavor Strong's friends who should be
conversant with his views were confident last
evening that no recognition would be given py
tho Nayor to any scheme which might have It's
origin with Mr. Plat. The state OF the Mayor
