A large meeting wag held last night under auspices of the Tam many general committee. Many of the party leaden were present and made speeches. Henry Clinton presided. Resolutions en norsing Kelly and expressing unshaken con fidence in his integrity and ability as a party leader, denying that he had ever exercised or attempted to exercise one-man power, and .expressing a determination to follow the ban ner of Kelly and Tammany in future. Fer nando Wood in a speech of considerable length, predicted that the Democrats of New York would soon regret having elected a combination ticket. 8. 8. Cox followed in a half hours' speech, during which he labored hard to prove that if Tammany was a corpse it was, after all, a very lively kind of a corpse, and would make a lively wake for the undertakers who came to bury it. He said that both t houses would be Democratic and predicted the immediate downfall of the Republican party. Boss Kelly reviewed his own career in his own favor, and the crowd dispersed with a doubtful cross between a growl and a cheer Oefclahama Territory. San Francisco, Not. 8.

Grant dined with King Luis the first. All members of the royal ministry were present. The impe rial palace was gayly trimmed with flags and the day was one of general festival through out the city. King Luis' reception of the ex-President of the United States, was very cordial. His Majesty offered the General the highest decorations of honor known to the kingdom. General Grant thanked the king but said he was compelled to decline honors, as the law of the United States made it impossible for an officer of the army to wear foreign decorations, and, although not now in office, he preferrd to respect the law. He thanked his majesty heartily for the honor intended. King Luis then offered him a copy of his translation of Hamlet into the Portuguese language, which Gen. Grant accepted with thanks. Bold Bobbery. New Tobk, Not. 8. Johnson's jewelry store, in Eighth avenue, was robbed last night of two thousand dollars' worth of clocks and watches, in the presence of a large number of passers by. Shortly after six o'clock two men entered the store. One closed the door, and the other, with a revol ver, kept in their places Mr. Johnson, the proprietor, his clerk, a customer and two others, and then smashed the large plate windows and packed in two bags the stock exposed. While they were thus occupied two others, ; armed with pistols, ordered passers by to move on. The property hav ing been sacked, the thieves, still protected by their companions, moved quickly to a butcher's cart in waiting at the corner and drove rapidly away. The two who had kept possession of the store, receiving a precon certed signal, turned on the throng and fired pistols in the air. A stampede of the peo ple followed ana the uueves escaped. : Reward Offered. Nsw Tobk, Nov. 8. Mrs. A. T.

Cabinet Meeting-. : Washington, Nov. 9. The Cabinet held a meeting to discuss the manner of resumption. The Cabinet is a unit upon the question of resuming specie payment next January, and are equally a unit in being undecided as to the means for setting about this important step. Point most raised and least settled in discussion was the use whieh should be made of silver coin in the treasury. If it was paid out last it was feared there would De a run on gold, in the anxiety of greenback holders to receive payments in the valuable metal; if it should be at the start rapid expulsion, as far as anv opinion was Wrought to light. The Cabinet advised making no formal recom mendation to Congress, and announcing no plan in the secretary's report but extending the option of payment in either gold or sil ver, to those presenting greenbacks for re demption, i . Important Conference. The Herald's Washington special says that an important conference of New York bankers with Secretary Sherman will be held at the treasury to-morrow morning, at wmcn time a special appointment nas been nxea. The party here include George S. Coe, and manager of toe Mew lork clearing nouse, Mr. Camp. The discussion will be a mutual advantage to all parties. It is believed that the Secretary is desirous of getting the views of such leading financiers as are included in the delegation in order to assist him in the preparation of his annual report to Congress; and the bankers are desirous, on the other hand, of having him recommend a number of measures to Congress for the amelioration of business, chief among them being the reduc tion or abolishment of government tax on deposits. taaaisiana Campaign.

Fire at Cape May. - Cape Mat, Nov. 10. The fire was sub dued at 6 P. M. The entire burned district covers an area of about 40 acres, and is bounded by Congress street on the west, by Washington street on the north. Ocean street on the east and Beach on the south. The total loss is estimated at about $400,000, of which more than one half is covered by insurance. The fire burned stubbornly from 7 in the morning until between 5 and 6 P.M. The water supply was good and furnished by artesian wells. No lives lost and no one seriously injured. To-night steam engines played on the ruins. In 1869 almost the same section was swept by a fire scarcely less destructi7e than that of to-day. Number of Cases. Nrw Orleans, Nov. 10. Physicians have reported 15,000 cases of yellow fever treated by them during the epidemic, and not here tofore reported. Maj. H. W. Branham, of the Howard Association, who is now assist ing in making a report of the work of the Howards during the epidemic .of 1878, ex presses the opinion that there have been, during the past four moths, 40,000 cases of fever in New Orleans and vicinity.

Pacific Railroads. Nrw Yoek, Nov. 11. The Tribune prints an abstract of the report of the auditor on railroad accounts. The Central Pacific has not complied with the law, and certificates as to its neglect so to do have been submitted, and will be hereafter submitted from time to time to the Secretary for proceedings to be instituted for such neglect, There are no reports furnished to the auditor's office un der the law. The question arises in regard to the company as to the right they may or not have to lease hundreds of miles of another road in which their own stockholders are the principal owners, and pay millions of dol lars for the privilege of operating the Bame. In regard for transportation, section 18 of the act of 1862 seems to prevent any inter ference unless Congress shall see fit to order an inquiry and investigation with, tne requi site power to send for papers and persons. The Latest Calculation. The Tribune's latest Congressional returns show 134 Republicans, 148 Democrats and 11 Greenbackers, and adds in the table Cali fornia, which elects on the 4th of next Sep tember, and counted as the delegation now stands, two Republicans and two Democrats. The Republicans expect to regain the third district, which was taken from them by the Democratic House. This done the Demo cratic majority over all in the next Congress would be reduced to one. Recovery of St ewarfa Body. It was stated at police headquarters last night that Stewart's body had been found and was in the possession of Judge Hilton. The latter would not make any of the facts public, but from his actions there is no doubt that the remains have been secured. , Annual Report of the Hints. Washington, Nov. 11. The annual report of the director of the mint is completed Under the head, of silver purchases and metal production, Linderman says; "Purchases of bullion for fractional coinage were made from time to time during the year, until Feb ruary 28, 1878, and amounted to 5,984,683. 64 fine ounces, at a cost of $7,114,548.69; the average has been 118,879 cents per ounce fine. London rate for silver bullion during this period averaged 65,3107 pence per ounce, British Standard, equivalent to 110,066 eta. per ounce fine. Purchasing silver dollar coinages was commenced in March and con tinued from time to time as advantageous offers of the same were made, or as the mints required additional bullion for current work. The total amount of purchases for dollar coinage up to. Sept. 30th, was 17,925,904 fine ounces at a cost to the Government of $21,057,369,15 ht an average cost Of 117.45 cents per ounce fine, at the coining rate for standard silver dollars 116 4-11 per standard ounce above the amount purchased will pro duce $24,176,665,19. The total product of gold and silver for the year $47,226,107 gold and $467,226,314 silver. I' Of the silver dollar he says: "At the date of the passage of the act authorizing the coinage of the dol lor of 412 X grains the price of a bar of silver was about 55 pence per ounce, British Stand ard; from that date (Feb, 28th last), the price gradually deolined until it reached 49 pence on" the 17 of October, the price at the date of this report is SOpence. From the foregoing it will be seen that the expectation entertained by many J that the remonitation of the silver dollar would be followed by an appreciation in value of silver has not yet been realized." Linder man thinks the United States ought to be very cautious in its silver policy. American Clliscns in Tremble. Oshkosh, Wis., Nov. 11.

The citizen's as sociation held a meeting to-day -and sent a committee to Governor Nichols to lay before him an abstract of frauds which have been penetrated at the recent election. Their summary of testimony is extremely full, and so overwhelming in fact that the Governor asked two of the committee to ascertain whether there is anything in the law author izing him to nulify the election and order a new one. The other candidate for the Federal Senate is Duncan F. Kenner, who will proba ably be elected, provided it is thought that under the new arrangements, E. A. Burke can capture the $1,000,000.

Brown vs. Bailer vs. Kearney; New Yoek, Nov. 12. Carl Browne has made a statement to the effect that Kearney sold out Butler and made incendiary speeches for the purpose of driving the more respect able laboring men from supporting him. In an interview with a reporter for a morn ing paper, Butler is reported as saying: "If Kearney was a traitor he could have had but one cause for treachery. No man is a rascal for mere love of rascality and without hope of reward. Of course, I do not know what particular scoundrel hired him if he was hired, but I know a set who were cap able of doing it, and did it, if it was done at all. His speeches did me more harm than good. Workingmen whom he might have influenced were with me already and there was a large class who were dis gusted with and alarmed by him. I waa in no manner or shape responsible for him or his utterances. I never asked him to make a speech or to refrain from making one, nor am I aware of any one doing so for me. He never got any money from me, and never approached me for any. The Herald's Bos ton reporter interviewed Kearney, and he said Brown's story was all a damned lie, He continued, "I don't believe the lying Asso ciated Press. These slimy imps will spread any report to sell papars. Pemand Increasing. Since the result of the elections become known the demand for government securities of all classes has greatly increased.

Sev eral prominent Turks, believing the attitude of Russians in Romelia will lead to a war with England and Turkey, are anxious to convince Minister Layard that the best mode of fighting Afghanistan would be to engage Russia in Europe.

The correspondent re gards the recall of Count Shouvaloff as prelim inary to supplanting .Prince Oortschakoo, and adds that a trustworthy informant con siders that Bismarck is doing his ntmost to bring about the event. Shouvaloff s acces sion to power would be the signal for a policy on the part of Russia and Germany, at a common reactionary end. Shouvaloff' s for eign policy would not be pacific, but rather the opposite. Appreciative Exhibitors. Pakis, Nov. 9.

How the King of the TJtes ilTes. Considerable interest has of late been aroused in the TJte Indians in Colorado, and a few facta about" their head Chief, Ouiay, who is an exceptional Indian, and his manner of life will be interest ing. Ouray has had built for him at his place, about ten miles from the Los Pinos agency, on the TJn'compahgre river, by the government, an adobe house, thirty by forty, hnished in good style, 'with American furniture and car pets. He has a farm of 300 acres in closed, and over 60 acres under cultiva tion in hay, vegetables and grain. The. work is done by Indians and Mexican retainers. iHis wife takes an active interest in the farm work and does her full share of the outdoor labor, lie has a herd of 200 horses and mules, some of them being very fine animals; in addi tion to the horse stock, he has some cat tle and several bands of sheep and goats. His buildings are quite extensive, con sisting of a large store house, four dwell--ings, stables, corrals, granaries, eta He his a fine family carriage, one of the best that could be purchased, a present from Governor Ed. MeCook, which, with a stylish team and Mexican driver, makes a conspicuous turn-out. The farm operations and business enterprises of Ouray have been very successful, and prove him to be a shrewd, competent business man. It is the opinion of those who know anything about him, that he desires to adopt entirely the habits and life of the whites, and cut loose from In dian customs, but the innate love of power and prominence makes him cling to his leadership of chieftainship with a tenacious grasp. During the council it was observed by General Hatch that Ouray was a born leader, and exhibited diplomatic talents of a high order in managing his unruly subjects and deal ing with every point and question ad vanced by the commissioners. His age is about 45, and he has but one wife and child. The Skirmishing Foud.

U "Well," said the Consul, "it is so. It is only another exhibition of English hatred against the Fenians, to which other powers are induced to lend their influence. You can see no connection between these signs and7 the Fenians t" "None," replied Varnius, "unless the signs are like the Fenians, because no body pays any attention to them." f "Not exactly that," respondit the Con sel, cum some asperity, "although that isn't so bad." Varnius respondit non, sed intimated, by shaking his caput, ut he would give it up. 1 "Well," said the Consul, with a pity ing look at his comrade, "it is because these things are put up to keep people from wearing off the green.' " It was a long time before Varnius made any reply, when he finally said he hoped, if the Consnl ever said any thing like that again, Spartacus might give him the awf idlest Tbrasian a Ro man ever got And then he called out the troops and went over to Vesuvius, and got one himself just to see what it is was like.
