aloant. riov. t. ab mere appear vj w aouio misunderstanaincoa thft subject, it is proper ta state that there has beu ci meeting held since the day.'- cf th," löcUon, , either, ; 4 the Democratic. ,ßtte . . Coram! uee,,, or .of the V Xiecutlve. ComialUee , oi ,, that body, nof have notice beea sent to the membera of either Committee for any such meeting. In the future any action taken by the members of the Committee, whethe orlloera or otherwise, U Individual action which the Committee has not

authorized and for which it can not be held responsible. In ' so grave a - matter as calling Into quesüon the' vote of New York in .. the Electoral College, too reat caution can not be exercised. The onlv wi- in which any contest could be made w ith even a stmt low of probable success would be by the rejection of the Republican Electoral tickets on which the word "Elec tors" has .been tw ice printed This, I believe, can not and should not be done. To change the result In any other way, more- than " 20.000 -separate cases of fraudulent or corrnpt ! voting wonld have tobe proved, an evidentiipna4bility. It certainly can uot be expected that the present Kute Rouril ol Canvassers w ill declare othcrw ie than Is shown by the face of the Teturns, and my view of the Democratic doctrine leads me to "hold that CougrtKS ean not go behind the seal of the State to lnvcfcturato frauds at the polls in tho choice of l'residentlal Electors. This being so. it seems to me that all talk of auming posjw4on of an official character about having the l-lertoral vote of thi State cast for Hancock is calculated to bring ridic-ile and repnach upon the Democratic party, and wpuld tend, if importam-e were given to it, to produce a still worse effect. - Those who would Justify even a slijiht departure from established laws and forms to count iu General Hancock, iu a spirit of revenge for the frauds of l7l. wou-ld in my judgment go far to make the bad precedent of that year a rule for the future, and would take a Ion Met toward Mexicanizing our Government. Holding firmly to these views, I am impelled to theirpublie utterance as a meraber of the Democratic state Committee and of the Executive Committee. In order that, I may pot be.vonsidered to have bv silence acqtiieiced in what purports to he. hut is not, the- aathoriaed Action cf either Committee, i ; i ; !i i Very respectfully yours. , ' ' W i .

The Rulletin this evening publishes a letter from a reliable correspondent at Treu Tsiü.Chliia,iii which is givcu the substance of an interview between "the Clilnese Grnnd Socretarj'of State, U Hung Chanp. and Mr Seward, late MinLster of the United State. In China. The Interview took place duria a parting call . by Seward, . . on beiiur removed from , the post. He informed the Secretary ' that the Commissioner on the way to Peking, seeking to modify the Thirlingame treaty, was appointed by the AdminLstion at the instigation of an Irish mob; that treaty could not be made any better; to change it as proposed would be a great injustice as well as a grs insult to China, and unconstitutional wtthal; that If the lirand Secretary would stand firm and so consult his Government no change need be, or should be, made; that the Chinese had been shamefully maltreated in California stoned, robbed and murdered; that the murders Could be counted by thousands and robbery by millions; that In Callfornlir alone this robbery amounted to Sl:t,00O.,uO0: hat while no notice was taken of these by our Government, and no justice given the Chinese in our Courts, let citizens of the United States, 'or hny foreiifner.be stoned. robbed or murdered in China, and a great outcry

I Ls made and large money contributions demand ed; that if he acceded to the demands oi nis Government, and thereby stultified himself by acting a concession so outrageously unjust and insulting to the Chinese as proposed in the inodilicalion of the treaty, he would now be Minister and Preiident of this Commlnsiou, but this he scorned, and hence his resignation. Mr. Seward also endeavored to prejudice the Secretary against the jenonnel of the Commission, He said the new Minister knew nothing of politics or diplomacy, and w as entirely ignorant of the question he had been sent to settle. He miht know a little of .-'international::: law, as taught to schoolboys, but that would be of little use to him here: that the gentleman from South Carolina was a doctrinaire and the member from California a man of mediocre ability only, but thoroughly imbued with the California idea that the Chinese must go: that he had intrigued and wire pulled foir more than -two years for the ex-Minister's plact; that the principal Ingredients in his nature were selfishness and egotism. In addition t this he has, since his removal at Peking here (iu Tien Tsin), at Shanghai and on board the steamer traveling between this city and Shanghai, spoke in the most disrespectful terms of the President and the Hon. Secretary of State, speaking of the latter as "That man Evarts" who had suppressed hu treaty and dispatches and being the principal cause of his political downfall by. allowing his removal. : Reports From the rostofnee Department.

Brooklyn Eagle.J A few days ngo a Boston plrl, who had heen attending the School of Thilosophy at Concord, arrived in Brooklyn on a visit to a seminary chum.

"And so you are laking lessons in philosophy. How do you like it?" "th! It's perfectly lovely. It's about science, you know, and we all just dote on science. , "It must be nice. "What is it about?" '"It's about molecules as much as anything else, and moleculesare just tooawfully nice Jor anything. If there's anything I really enjoy it's molecules." "Tell nie about them, my dear. What are molecules?" "Oh! molecules! They are little wee thiags, and it ikkes ever so macy tif them. They are splendid things. Do you know, there ain't anything but what's got .nioleculenii. it, Aud Mr. Cok is just as ewect as lie can be, and Mr. Kmerson too. They explain everything so beautifully." - "How I'd" like to go there," said the Brooklyn girl enviously. "You'd enjoy it ever so much. They teach protoplasm, too, and if there is one thing i?rfectly heavenly it's protoplasm. I really don t know whieli 1 like best, protoplasm or molecules." . "Tell me about protoplasm. I know I should adore it." ",'LVeU you would. It's just too sweet to live. You know it's about how things get started, or something of that kind, You ou.ht to hear Mr. L,iuerson talk about it It would stir your very soul. The first time he explained about protoplasm there wasn't a dry eye in the house. We named our hats after him. That is an English haL You see the ribbon is drawn over the crown, and caught with a buckle and a bunch of tlowers. Then you turn up the side with a spray of forget-me-nots. Ain't it jnst too sweet?

I am really and truly positively in love with differentiation. It's aifferentfrom molecules and protoplasm, but it's every bit as nice. And Mr. Cook! You should near him go on about it. I really believe he's iserfectly bound up in it This scarf is the Cook scarf. All the girls wear them, and we named them after him just on account of the interest betakes in differentia tion." "What is it, anyway?" i "This is mull trimmed with Langue-Ioc lace" "I don't mean that that other." - "Oh! Differentiation! Ain't if sweet? It's got something to do with species. It's the way you tell one hat from another, bo Jrou'll know which is becoming. And we tarn all about ascUliaus, too. They are tho divfnest things! I'm absolutely enraptured with ascidians. If I only bad an ascidian of my, own! I wouldn't. ask anything else in the world." "SVhat do they look like, dear? Did you ever see one?" asked the Brooklyn girl, deeply interested. ' ' !

"Do you learn anything else, besides?" 'D.-f yes. We learn about common philosophy and logic, and those common things like metaphysics; but the girU don't care anything about thee. We are just in ecsta aieij over differentiations and molecules, and Mri Cook and protoplasms, and ascidians and Mr. Emerson, and I really don't soe why they put in those vulgar branches. If anybody besides Mr. Cook and Mr. Emerson had done It,' we should have told him to his face that he was too terribly awfully mean."

How an English Officer Covered Ills Adver ary With IUdlcule and .Drove Ulm From the Field. . An old East Indian officer, in giving some reminiscences in Chambers Journal, ells this story: Tainton's rcriment was stationed at the b traits (SJingapore, Malacca and I'enang), but was officiating as Brigade Major while the real incumbent was absent on furlough at the Cape. He was known to be an extraordinary shot with cun, rifle and pellet-bow. Nothing could jufile him out wardly, but 1 pity the man who insulted him, for Tainton, with a smile, would think no more of throwing him out of a window than he would of kicking a cur down stairs. He was a lamb in appearance, but a very lion . in strength and courage, and neither drank, gambled nor quarreled; but in those dueling days even he could not at times avoid the "wager to battle." 1 , a foolishly irate and somewhat tipsy man, moreover only a late arrival, took umbrage at some remarks of a lerfectly inoffensive nature made by Tainton, and the usual . challenge , followed; There is a limit to the greatest forbearance, and my gallant friend was tired of being made a target of, so consented to go out provided his terms were acceded to; and these were that they were to be placed face to face at fifteen yards or less, he to be armed with his iK'llet-bow alone and his adversary to load Iiis own weapon, and that from the moment the word "Load!" was given, each arty was to be at liberty to do with his weapon what he chose. The seconds knew Tainton" well, , and they anticipated ' some fun from the. novel duel; so, while consenting to the terms, they made them known all over the station. The day arrived.; Tainton's adversary strongly protested against such a strange duel; but he was told he had no choice, as the riebt of choosing weapons lay with, the challenged. . , So D , more' Irate than ever, went to the place ' of meeting, vowing 'he would drill a hole through .his man for making such a fool of him. The whole plain was crowded with spectators. The two stood face to face Tainton with

his pocket full of hardened pellets and his bow, D with an ordinary pistol. The word "load!" being given, D lifted his Powder Mask, when rap, rap, came-two pellets on his knuckles, and he dropped his pistol and hask as if they had been red hot. The bysfandcrs screamed with laughter. P got more savage, and. hastily picking up the pistol and flask tried to load, but a similar visitation as before made him drop them again. whilst ' anotlier rap, rap, made hhu .turn his . hark on las toe.1 The seconds now - interfered,- and declared the duel at an end, because the conditions had been . violated by D , who was led off the ground foaming with rage. But a little rejection and a little inquiry into the antecedentsand "tharaeter of the antagonist he had to deal with, eonvinced him of the lolly of quarreling with twich. a man, and a party was got .up at mess, w here the two met And shook hands. Tainton's skill witkihe Indian pellet-bow was something marvelous. He had been known, for n wager, with five pellets to knock over three snij; and the J-epovs and native officers of his regiment not only loved him, but believed him to be . jossetised of supernatural iow ers,and were vcr Xond of relating the Ukost improbable stories of him, and nothing would convince them to the contrary. One story was, that with a har i pellet he could drill a hole in an earthenware water-pot, and with a soft one fill it up u.-aint ' A CROWD OF A THOUSAND."

How It TV Attracted by Fainting a Ca. at a Mad-Covered Cabbage. San Francisco Evening Rostl , The other morning two' gentlemen were looking out of a wink'wpf a house on Market Street, when they observed a cabbage roll off a market wagon that was passing. Instantly over a dizen well-dressed and apparently sane persons began yelling after the wagon as though the vegetable had been a gold watch or a thousand dollar bill. The driver stopped about a half a square off. looked back at the cabbage,--yawned, and drove on. , . "What an absurd fuss people in the street make over trivial occurrences," said one of the 'gentlemen. "Nuw, I'll bet a tilk bat that I could get a crowd of rive hundred iersons around that cabbage inside of thirty m'nutes. and yet not leave this room." "1 take the bet," paid his friend, pulling out his watch. ''Are you ready?" "Yes; give the word"" ' "It is now 11:30. ; io!" ... The proposer of the wagec led his friend to the window, threw up the sash, and taking a cane )ointed earnestly at the mudccveTttl cabbage with a terrified expression. Presently a hack driver noticed the action . and began to stare at the vegetable from the ' curbstone; then a bootblack stc-mied; then a bill poster, a messenger boy and a merchant. "What's the matter?" inquired a German, approaching the innocent base-of his national ilish . i "Don't touch it! Look out there! . Stand back!" shouted the gentleman at the window. At his horror-stricken bines the crowd fell back precipitately anil formed a dense circle around the innocent cabbage. Hundreds came running up and the excitement increased rapidly. "Look out there'" franMcalTv screnmpd the better, waving his cane. "Take that dog away, quick!" Several stones were thrown at a cur that was sniffing around the cabbage. "Take care!" said a car driver to a policeman, who was shouldering his way through the mass. "It's ah infernal machine, nitro4jlvfiaor pofcwlbrng." Meanwhile the sidewalk was block c-d, the street became impassable, women, screamed and rushed into shops, and a store-keeper , underneath began to tie a bucket on the end of a long-pole with which to pour water on time numbering over .1,000 the two gentlemen moved away from the window and sat down In a few moments ther was - a hurried tap at the door, and there appeared a man who had been sent as delegate from the. mass, meeting outside. "I should like to know, gentlemen," he said, "what the facts are?" What facte?" , ' . "Why, what there is peculiar about that cabbage out there?" . ; "Nothing in the world,' wai the soft reply, "except that it seems to be surrounded by about 1,000 of the biggest fools in town.
