Renben Roars Again.

KjS"

The Vincennes "Sun" of yestertlay firee a tremendous broadside at the "State organ grinder." Here is a sample: "Richard Jesse Bright boasts that he is proud of his idiotic hostility to Mr. Hen« a ricks' nomination in 1867. Of course he is and who doubts that he wilt be equally proud to repeat the experiment in 1872, if he has the chance? It runs in that breed of pups to do just such dirty tricks. His Uncle Jess acied upon the hypothesis that Indiana was made for him only."

Here is another, clipped from a long article: "It was clearly proven on the trial that Bright had drawn pay for about three thousand reams of book paper, when in fact he had only used, and was only enti tied to pay for, about one tenth of that amount. The paper was charged for at the rate of $10 ana $10 50 per ream, when all the leading publishers in Indianapo lis swore that the market price of such paper was only $7 50 and $8 per ream, ana that iu large quantities it could be purchased ever at lower figures than this."

And this is rather stinging: "Xtae honor, harmony, prosperity and aueceps of the Democratic party of Indiana demand the prompt substitution of honest and capable men in lieu pf the im becile and corrupt management of the State "organ." Any conceivable change will help the matter some."

Speech bj Hon. Horace ©reeler Warren, 0.-Hew lorkCityl'raads.

WARREN,

ley spoke here, to-night, in Webb's Hall, which was densely crowded in every part half an hour before the announced time ol the meeting. It was Mr. Greeley's first political speech, ahd great inte. est was attached to his -utterance. His first. topic was that the Democratic party could not afford to take power. Its xecord—idore especially during the war—its ill-con-cealed desire to repudiate the national debt, the necessity it wolrld be under were it si all consistent, to pension -the rebels, as we have pensioned the loyal soldiers, would fetter the Democratic party to such an extent as would make its exercise of power very difficult, 'if not i_m"pi»*ib!e. The necessity and the ability of the codntry to! paj the debt admitted of no question. The stupendous trauds of the Democratic Bing in New^ York, by which some thirty or forty millions of dollars were stolen from the_ people, wps another instance of the faithlessness of the Democratic parly—a party so devoid of conscience that exposure and the scorn of the conntry were insufficient in make them yield their place to honest men.

The registration frauds in New York City and State, Air- Greeley said, he had labored to prevent by legislation, but the leaders of the Democratic party had invariably opposed any measures which sought to secure honesty and purity at the ballot-box He himself had more votes cast against him in a single ward in New York, when running for office, than there were men. women and children in the entire ward. Naturalization frauds were not merely winked at by the Democratic leaders, but were encouraged and cirried out on the wholesale. Democratic managers made citizens faster than Cincinnati pork-packers slaughtered hogs.

The admitted policy of the Democratic parly to confine legislation within the narrowest possible limits, was denounced by Mr. Greeley as anwisd and unstatesmanlike. The moral and social welfare of the people were equally, nay, more important, than their were pecuniary interests, and no government worthy of the name could leave these interests unprovided for by proper legislation.

Mr. Greeley devoted considerable time to a discussion of the advantage of a protective tariff, arguing that the welfare of the produclngTclasses in all the different industries were equally benefitted by protection. lie earnestly counseled his auditors to stand by the Republican party and the varied industries of the country. •,

SYRACUSE CONVENTION

NEW YORK. Sept., 29.—The doings of the Syracuse (,'onvention have been the subject of general discussion throughout the city, among politicians of both parties. Defection of the Greeley wing is expected, though .there is a prevailing opinion, among Democrats especially, that a bolt will not materially hurt the ticket. Furthermore it is expected that the bolters will back down quietly and abide the issue. The conduct of Greeley is marked with timidity, and consequently it was expected that the Tribune would come out to day for the Convention and its nominees. That journal this morning announces acceptance of the ticket, and says it pledges its support, though solid three fourths of the entire Republican vote of this city, whose delegates were insultingly driven from the Convention, we accept it, and says the miracle of clumsiness called a platform we'bow to. Come what may we must carry New York for an honest government against thieves. It points to a draft of a platform which it declares was agreed upon when the New York delegation expected to have a Bhare in its preparations, and which contains principally for its basis the record of the Republican party ofjhe past, and endorsement of the administration, though it makes no mention of President Grant. One of the principal features of both platforms is denunciation of Tammany corruption, though at the Convention each faction accused the other of being affected with Tammany taint.

The liuies, while expressing itisfaction with the work of the Convention as a 'whole, thinks it has substantial) disappointed the expectations which re entertained concerning the di^i ton of means to overthrow Tammafiy.

MUNICIPAL SITUATION.

There are no developments of any im-. portance in ihe municipal sitnuMon. The Deputy Comptroller cnn'ifiueo at work examining finances, making such suggestions as the condition of the department of the Comptroller as seem necessary. It is contemplated to introduce a policy of retrenchment in all city departments. The Deputy Controller has already ad dressed a communication to the city Judges to see what reductions can be made in the force attached to the courts. The department ofdocks, though thus far having suffered but little inconvenience from Judge Barnard's injunction, will loon require five hundred thousand, for which it had already made requisition on the Controller? The sub-committee ap» minted to solicit the co-operation of the

Governor, last night transacted very im portant business, the nature of which at present can not be disclosed. Conferences were held yesterday by leaders of the anti-Tammany Democrats, at which were present S. J. Tilden, Wm. F. Havemyer and other prominent anti-Tammany pol iticians, with a view of harmonizing reform elements in the fusion agreed upon. In a few days the committees will be announced. Wm. F. Havemyer is to be President of the General Committee, W. E Curtiss and Max Goepp Vice Presidents. The charge that Judge Hilton, of the Department of Parks, inspired the incendiary article published in the Star, is denied by that gentleman in a letter printed to-day. Sweeney also joins in a disclaimer,/ though there is no denial printed from Fields, who is the gentleman that iniormed England of the Sun that was Hilton who wrote the article. The District Attorney yesterday refused to dismiss the case against the harbor mtster, Daniel Hart, charged with tnal feasance of office, notwithstanding the fact that the original persecutors asked for

EXAMINATION.

At the examination of Haggerty and Bilch for stealing vouchers from the Comptroller's office, this morning, the attendance was very small. Night watchman Murphy was examined, but gave no new testimony of importance. Rufus F. Andrews testified to finding ashes, supposed to be of the vouchers, in the attic of the Couet House. His testimony concluded the evidence, when the counsel.for the prisoners argued that no particular papers being proved missing, the case did not come under the statutes against burglary. He desired to end the examination, so thai the matter should grow into an indictment, and the prisoners would have an opportunity before an unprejudiced jury to show facts exculpating them. Dis trict Attorney Garvin replied that Judge Dowling held the prisone to await the action of the grand jury.

RAILROAD CONTRACTS,

The directors of the Northern Pacific Railroad Company awarded contract to Payson, Canda & Company of Chicago, for construction of a road from Red River to the Missouri River, distance 200 miles, the work to be completed by the first of July, 1873.

There was no perceptible differ« ence between the inside and outside air, and one of my companions slumbered through nearty the whole distance. The fact that the engine was in our rear was certainly in our favor, but the unanimous evidence of those who had come through in the morning went far to establish that they also had experienced no unpleasant sensation and difference of temperature.

BALTIMORE.

COMMERCIAL CONVENTION.

BALTIMORE,September 29.—After open ing the National Commercial Convention this morning, Thurston, of Pennsylvania, chairman, presented the report of the committee on finance and taxation. The report, after alluding briefly to the propriety of the action of this convention as a representation of the body of the people, recommending measures to Congress, pre* posing first, that an early return to specie payment will promote the best interests of the nation. Second, that while the public debt is of highest obligation, and any evasion thereojf dishonorable, yet lunctoal payment of interest upon ita Jebt, and snch portion of the principal as serves to show the good faith of the nation, is alljhat is necessary to maintain public credit, therefore we favor such payment of the public debt as will not interfere with the productive energy of the nation. Third, equality requires that taxation should be equally and fairly levied and collected, that civil service should be administered with rigid economy and care, that the government should derive its revM.U3 chi«fl fro.11 import', that direct taxes be resorted to only in extreme cases,

and the present income tax should be at once bolished. The report of the finance committee is that it is not to the interest of the nation to levy any prohibitory daties, that every facility should be given to direct importation of merchandise into inland cities and towns, as productive of a lessened cost to consumer, and saving of time and charge at seaport, and that duties and commissions on packages and all other charges cxcept off cost of commodities are of .questionable utility that any taxation i$ addition to import duties that it may be necessary for a financial necessity of government to levy upon products of the country, shovid be moderate in its character, and tha^ tax upon all kinds of manufactured tobacco should be uniform, and reduction of present tax would be advantageous to both the government and manufacturing interests, thereby increasing revenue from that source. As reduction in cost increases consumption, and excessive taxation leads to fraud that aU regulations respecting tax on whisky should be so arranged as to surely collect tax without embarrassment to that industry.

After an exciting debate upon portions of the report referring to government raising revenue from imports, to return to specie payments, and repeal the incometax, the report as presented by the committee, was adopted.

On the subject of the Tennessee & At* lantic Canal, the committee propose that a special committee be appointed to petition Congress, te aid the work, in case the survey already authorized by Congress shall prove favorable. On the Louisville Canal, the committee recommend Congress to be asked to accept the canal, and make appropriation to pay outstanding bonds, and hereafter collect only such tolls as are necessary to keep the canal in order. On the Albermarle & Che^epeake Canal the committee recommend that Congress make such appropriations as may be necessary for improvement uf na lional water courses in Virginia and North Carolina, leading into this canal as found practicable before survey by the United States. All the recommendations of the committee were adopted. The special order of the day, which was a resolution offered by Mr. English, of Arkansas, in reference to cotton tax, i/as taken up. The folio wing is the resolution:

Resolved, That it is the opinion of this Convention that the special tax imposn1 cotton by the act of Congress for the trs H66 and IS67, was not equitable,and was in conflict with the rules of taxation as prescribed by the Constitution of the United States, and that Congress be respectfully requested to provide for refunding of the same to the parties from whom it was collected.

Mr. Topp, of Tennessee, made a long argument against the constitutionality of the tax resolution, which was adopted, and the Convention took recess.

On reassembling, Mr. Kirtland, of New York, chairman of the Committee on Foreign Commerce, submitted a report which was adopted. The report suggests that it is the duty of the general govern ment to use all propel means to secure the trade and commerce of Central and South America and Mexico. To this end to subsidize the lines of ocean steamers, send them additional commercial agents and consuls, and remove all unnecessary obstructions to commerce with all foreign countries. The committee also call attention to Custom House service, and suggest to Congress to revise the system and correct existing abuses by drafting a new tariff law.

The report of the Committee on American ship building and navigation reviews briefly the present depressed and unsatis* factory condition of ocean transportation and traffic, and declares as the first condition of regaining our ocean commerce that both ships and seamen be recreated and restored and alludes with confidence to the forthcoming report of Secretary Robeson to Congress, on the best measure for revival of our commercial marine, and recommends Congress at its approaching session, to mature and pass a comprehensive act for protection of merchant seamen. In it should be provisions for establishment of a seamen's home, and shipping masters and marine boards in every port where there is owned five thousand tons and upwards of merchant vessels, the main boards to have super* vision, and charge all authority to examine and certify to specification and competency of sea captains, mates and other officers of vessels, and^ to give certificates thereof or to reject those not competent, with authority also to apprentice a certain number of youths to each vessel of merchant marine, shipping masters to ha#ng charge ofseamenand homes with the sole authority of shipping and discharging of seamen, and of their persons and property, to protect them from the systematized plundering practiced by many of the sailor boarding house keepers in their houses, and needful for Congress to pass a general act permitting witdrawal from bonded warehouses from all duty and tax of every article which enters into vitality and preservation of a ship or subsistence, and protection of the crew while in port or on a voyage, and also for reduction of duty or return thereof, as sball be equal to duties of taxes collected upon all ma terial used in constructing wooden and iron vessels and steamejp. AI1 classes of these measures, if perfected will restore or recreate and enlarge our commerce.

There are oppressive local regulations differing in ports of the United States in their rates of taxation of ships and cargoes, which demand emphatically correction under a law of Congress which shall apply to all ports equally and fairly, and without being burdensome, shall yield a sufficient sum to meet expendi1 lines necessary to their enforcement which is all that was ever contemplatedi in tbe necessities which caused their origin. Among these stand prominently exactions varied in their forms and forced payment of heavy sums of vessels, cargoes and persons collected by officers of quarantine, especially at the port of New York, and less but equally vexatious exaction of harbor masters, secure berths for ships, which in most cases can only be obtained by paying a premium either direct to the harbor master or some known and distinguised favorite, and

ed resolutions asking the General Gov ernment to refund the tax collected on pot ton, therefore be it

Resolved, That coal, oil, iron and other commodities having paid similar tax be included in the resolutions refunding tax on cotton.

St. Louis was selected as the place and the 3d Monday of November, 1872, as the time tor holding the next National Commercial Convention.

A motion was then made to adjourn, which was carried. President Bishop made an appropriate address, and pronounced the Convention adjourned sins die. All business not acted upon was referred to the Committee on Unfinished Business.
