TWKED'S FBIKKTi? BOI.T1NO?COA I MTON ON
ANTI-TAM1IAKT DKM. .('MATS?TAMMANY TO
BK KXCLUDtO FROM TUG HI A I h IJONVKK
TION.
Letters ?ere arot yesterday morninj? to tbe
prominent men In 'the D?mocratie party In this etty wits
are opposed to TatBir.aiiy Hall. ?Mid likewise to a few of
tbe political adherents of Tammany, requesting tbem to be
present la tbe evening at Cooper Institute, wbore some?
thing of groat political Interest would occur. Accord?
ingly a-hout aw prominent poHtlctans assembled at
Cooper Institute, and at 8 o'clock tbe Hon. Robert 11.
Roosevelt appeared and cull.-ii tbe meeting to order in
room No Bl. There were present Mineral presidents and
officers ot w?. M. Tweed Clubs, members of the Com?
mittee of*8eventy, adherents -of the Young Democracy,
delegates of the German Democratic Union < ..iinnlti? c,
and? large an tuber of the old Democratic-1'nion party.
Mr. Roosevelt was elected -Chairman and l'.itrlek H.
McBwnongh Secretary.
On tailing the chair, Mr. Roosevelt stated the object of
tlie meeting, which waa to form au on.-siiii.it ion of all
Democrats opposed to Tammany Hall, for the purjioee of
killing that body and raising up a new Democratic or
ganliattou which shall hold the reins of power In this
City and County. He welcomed all the gentlemen, and
said that although there were so many organizations
?represented, he hoped they could procei d harmoniously,
and thus become united in ?one solid phalanx of Dem??
crata.
As soon as be had finished, John P? Ryan, President
?f the First Ward Tweed Club, asked Mr. ttoowvelt if
this new organization was to oppose Win. M. Tweed 1
Mr. Kooseve.lt replied, that It was opposed to Xmumsny
Hall, and through Tammany opposed to Tweed. Mr
Ryan Immediately said, that If lt<was against Mr. Tweed
be would not helen a moment to au j Hung that might ?be
said against bim, and that as be bad rec? i ved the notice?
and not being cognizant of tbe facts, be would withdraw'
which he accordingly did. Tlie other officers of Tweed
clubs, however, remained aad took au active par? in the
proceedings.
The Secretary called the Wards, and found that every
one was represented. Mr. Roosevelt then announced
that the new organ!ration was to be the resuscitated
Democratic Union, and he was ready to hear from any
g'.iitl. mini who w?Ulled ?to speak, l.a. li Ward was called,
and the representatives gave their views and opinion.?
a* to the feasibility of the scheme. All were In favor of
Immediate organization, or, as one of the speak?
ers expressed It, "Let us kill time first, and
then we will ha able to kill Tammany." When
the speakers bad eiprte?d their views, Mr.
Roosevelt suld that he bad Just been In consultation with
tlie lion. Samuel J. Tilden, ?and that he urged wita the
greatest force that the D?mocratie Union be placed upon
a strong basis immediate!}-, as that course was the only
salvat)on for the Democratic pal ty of the State, which
has been so crippled by the frauds of the Tammany Ring.
" Not only." said Mr. Tilden to me, " will
r?solutions be presented to tho Convention de?
nouncing fraud and conniption, but the delega?
tion from Tammany Hall tcill be excluded." [Cheers.)
You must do everything with the greatest regularity,
aud leave nothing undone which is of any value toward
that end. Do everything that can be dono without com?
promising the party. Unite, If posible, all outside Deni
ocrutlo faction?, and make the Democratic Union the
strongest power In the city, and your delegation will be ad?
mitted to a seat in the State Cou veution as the regular dele?
gation, and Tammany will be refused. If thst course is uot
pursued I Wall resign. These, gentlemen, are words
which convey to you something that will astound and
make Tammany trimble, and wetow bavo it In our
power to selrc the reina which that organization has so
long held, and become at once the great Democratic
organization. When tho other outside parties see that
we are la esruest, tbey will all be knocking at
our doors for admittance, and we will not
have tho least trouble to form an organiza?
tion that will be overwhelming In Its power.
Strike now while Taniuany Is prostrated, and you will
be victorious. It uecib-no outlay of money; all that Is
required Is that you Mt to work about It Immediately.
Do not wait to seo what to-uierrow will bring forth; be
organized Immediately. I call upon you to get out the
old organization (we have 30,000 mea ready), and make it
strong, effluent, and trustworthy ; send a delegation io
the Convention. We will be the regular ones, and will
be admitted, while Tammany will at last have to take a
back seat
The speech was received with great cheers, and a mo
tlon was made thui a committee of seven be apiiolnted
to confer imm?diat, ly with outside organizations, es
pecially the Ledwltl? wing. After somo discussion the
motion wa? carried, and the Chair appoint, d the follow?
ing: John Y. Savage, Chairman ; E lward Jacklom, John
Landsman, Phillp J. Maguire, Michael Smith, Beth C.
Douglass, Jumes Sheedy, and It. B. Roosevelt, ex-offleio.
The strength of the Democratic Union party In each
Ward was next discussed, and the representatives from
every Ward, with two exceptions, made a report show?
ing that all these Wards were In a favorable condition,
and that there was a Ward committee in each ready to
act. It wa? suggested that the ?cneral Committee call
rrimarles immediately, but, upon after consideration, It
was deemed expedient to watt until the Committee oo
Conference should make their report. 9 'ab W. Car?
penter of tbe German Democratic Union General Com?
mittee stated that a meeting of that Committee would
probably be held on Friday, and that It would be well ii
the Conference Committee would make their report In
time to be presented to that body, as he was sure they
would unite. After a long discussion In relation to the
details of the arrangement the meeting adjourned.
The Committee met soon after, and resolved to consnlt
with other organizations today, ?nd to bring In their
complete report by Saturday at the very latest, and, if
possible, before that day, if all the organizations could
be visited.
A CARD FROM THE HON. ROBERT B. ROOSEVELT.
Tlie lion. Robert Ii. Roosevelt prefaces a
printed copy of his speech at tho great meeting of Sept.
i wrtb the follow mg card :

wise to follow In reference io the charges of malfeasanee
made against our city ?iltlei.'ls. My action waa not tsken
till after serious consideration, nor without the approval
of many of the best and most rcst.ectt.-d Democrat? of the
city aud State. They felt as I felt, that our party could
not hear the odloiu resting upon na, growing out of the

my part after consuitatiou with the Deut?>cratic ?epre
M-ntaUves of the nation at Washington, who complained
that In all sections of the eonntry the arrogance and cor?
ruption of the " King " were b>ld upou the party at large.

No. M6 BioanwAT, New-York, Sept. aa, nn.
Bern. A. Oakbt Hill, Mayor of the City of New-York.
Bin: You lia ve of late repeatedly exprewtd
the opinion that It to the awry of a pabilo ofleer who has
lost the publie eanflddooe to reaign. Ii you ?are sincere
1 tbls opinion, I undertake to show conclus!ni, that It
1 your Imperative duty to resign forthwith the high
tt Mt yo? were elected ?to ad minister.
A crisis has been reached la the affairs of thr city of a
vary grave character, and to you. more than any other
Individual, la this calamity to be attributed, for without
yoirr active cooperation, the wrongs done and crimes ad?
mittedly committed, never could have been perpetrated.
In your ?event official acts m to the office of Controller,
you very ?on ven lent ly overtook this Important fact, bat
the truth cannot be concealed by merely Ignoring It, and,
however dlsagreeabl?, the situation, as it Is, must be ac?
cepted by yon. ft Is known to every one that yon are
personally Implicated In the serions accusations whloh
have been made as to the payment of fraudulent claims
from the Treasury. As to those claims, Judge Barnard,
lu the judgment given by him iu my suit on Friday last,
says :
"It Is charged against two of the defendants, the
Mayor of New-York and the Controller, that they had
paid dishonest clnlms, knowing them to be so. The Con?
troller of Kew-York Is Its tinana lal officer. He Is In?
trusted with the auditing and the paying absolutely of
aHhoHt all billi: even after the rendition or recovery of
Judgment, he has power under the laws to appeal nntil
?nell time as the Court of last resort shall see whether It
is right and projwr to appeal. Ho haa, ludeed, para?
mount and supreme power, and It ?la upon him more than
npnn all the other officers together, that the people
rvly for protect Ion la preventing fraud. It is not possible
to perpetrate a fraud, or to have a dollar taken from the
TreaHury, if he will see that the bills coming Into
his office s re properly looked after and carefully audited.
It Is no excuse for tbe bead financial officer to say that
subalterns may have drool ved him, however unfortunate
or perhaps t?rdonable a thing it possibly may ?be, but
nevertheless It Is a crime. In the payment of these vari?
ous fraudulent claims, some of them tyan outrageous and
(itroeinus character, bearing on the face of them evident?
of being little better than highway roMertf, it uxts his
bttthiess to have examined them milk extreme caro, and to
hare looked ai the touchers, and lalitjied Himtelf person?
ally that tri charges tutade ?vere tort-eet, and that the ter
tie** ulleyrtt kemi been performed? Therefore when he
failed to do the! he tailed to do hit duly, not only to himself',
but also a? a citiaer?, and he teas guilty either of the com?
mission of ti crime or ihe criminal act of negligence."
Every word of this censure Is as applicable to yon and
Mr. Tweed as it i*4.1 the Controller. The statute under
which tbe claims referred to wero audited I? secUon 1 of
chapter 3W of the Laws of 1870. This section provides
thst:
"All liablll-les against tbe County of New-York, rn
currod previous to lim pnsssge of this act, shall be audited
by tlie Mayor, Controller, und present President o? the
lio.rd of HuiM-rvisors (Win. M. Tweed], and the amounis
which ?re found ?to be dm. shall ?be provided for by the
Issue of revenue bonds of the County of New-York, paya?
ble during the year 1671 ; and the Board of Supervisors
shall Include In the ordinance levying the taxes for the
year 1871 an amount sufficient to pay said bonds and the
interest thereon. Such claims shall l?e paid by the Con?
troller to the parly or parties entitled to receive the
same, upon the oertifleate of the officers named herein."
Even you must admit that this section Imposed no duty
upon the Controller, as to the auditing of the claims re?
ferred to, trhieh teal no4 imposed etiuully upon yourself
und Mr. Tweed, and it waa therefore your business, and
the business of Mr. Tv,i,-ti, equally with the Controller,
lu the words of Judge Barnard, to have examined the
claims with extreme eare, and to have looked at the
vouchers nnd have satisfied yourself personally that the
charges made were correct ?and that ?the ?services were
performed. Upon your own confession, you failed to do
so, and therefore, In the words of condemnation by the
learned Judge, you " failed In your duty, not only to
yourself, hut also to the citizens, snd were guilty either of
the commission of a crime or a criminal act of negli?
gence." There to no escape for you or for Mr. Tweed
from this position. This the people understand, and are
determined that bath you and Tweed shall bear the
responsibility which attaches to your act?.
A further and perhaps more serious accusation Is made
by the Controller agalnat lwth you and Tweed as to those
claims. Hie Cunt Hiller bus ?worn lu his affidavit in the
injunction suit that Ik-foi? the above statute was passed
sppolnting the Board of Audit, the Chairman of a Com?
mittee of the Board of Supervisor* had certified aa to the
claims reierrtd to th.it the charges made were correct,
?nd tbat the services were performed. The Controller
has also sworn in ihe same affidavit that he waa advised
thal this cerlilicnic by the Chairman of the Committee
of the .Supervisors made the claims fixed liabilities
agaiukt the County, and that he was in law bound to pay
them. At the hearing before Judge Barnard It was
stated In open court, and not denied by either counsel,
or the counsel for Mr. Tweed, that the (hall man of the
Committee referred to was Tweed, and the adviser of the
Controller o? to the effect of Tweed's certificate wa? your
lelf. Now, neither you nor Tweed have met these accusa?
tions by the Controller. Claims which the Court charac?
terized as outrageous and atrocious, benring on tbe face
of them evidence of being little belter than highway
robbery, are certified to by Tweed as being proper lia?
bilities against the Couuty, and tbls certificate la ap?
proved by youl With you and Tweed, therefore,
rest? primarily the responsibility In this matter, and so
long as cither of you remains In office the public confi?
dence cannot be restored to the administration of the
government of either the City or County. The want of
such confidence on the part of the public yon urge upon
the Controller as a sufficient reason for his realigning his
trust. Now do the public a service and take this advice
to yourself, and persuade, if you can, your friend Tweed
to do likewise. In taking this step you need nave no fear
as to the Controller's Department, for so long as It to
managed by Mr. Oreen, honesty and economy will char
acterlte Ita administration.
That hut plan of yours for your friend O'Oorman to
commence proceedings on the part of the elty to recover
the stolen money will not do. There to no sincerity In
It. O'Gormaa to a particular friend of both you and
Tweed. His fulsome praise of the latter baa been too of?
ten paraded before us for either you or him now to expeot
that in our Investigation, which so seriously affects both
you and Tweed, he would secure the publie confidence.
The Attorney-General of the State to the proper officer to
prosecute the matter, and before him I will take care
that the particulars are laid as to how Tweed, Ingersoll,
Garvey, Woodward, and Watson managed to get np this
little bill of upward of W,000,?0 against the oounty, how
they got the same passed through with your ?connivance,
and the concurrence of your friend Sweeny.
Now let ma further my that your proposed proclama?
tion offering ti,ooo reward for themissing vouchers to the
most transparent farce of alL Last year you Issued a
proclamation oflSering a reward of 1800 for Information
that would load to a conviction for a breach of the Eleo
tlon laws. At or about the Urne you Issued this procUaia
tion yo? seat from your office aeveral thousand dollars
to eminent counsel In this elly, whose eervleea you se?
cured to defeat a conviction of parties accused of crime
under those laws. And It la tim? yo? al way ? act, 00 v?r?
in* what yon pretend your anxiety to reveal.
To restore the publie confidence and secure a faithful
administration of the Government of this City, It to doe
from you to the pnbbe that yon We, forthwith, yow reslg
nntlon m Mayor, so that the people may elect your suc?
cessor at the forthcoming election. Is these aa much
magnanimity In you M will lead to the performance of
this most pressing duty I The Importance ox the auhject
to the public to nur excuse. If an .excuse to rcqu red, for
pressing the matter upon your immediate attention. '

that " the victualing and housing of an army of maneu?

Power, and contrasting them with ethers accomplished

adhering to the rules laid down in limitation of the
weight of camp equipment and baggage allowed to each
regiment and officer. The Prince of Wales has three

some 13 miles without accident. Their good fortune has
much encouraged the military mind, for our authority
winda up his aceoaat with the assurance that " now the

into a groove ; up to to-day they have been Jolting over
cross-rails at a fearful strain to the principal timbers of

The feeling in Newcastle about Renforth's death has
been Increased by the arrival of the body and by the
report of those who accompany it, Mr. Winiam Oldham
and Mr. Wm. Blakey. They do not accept tho result of
the Inquest, They make no secret of their belief thst
Renfort h came to his lend by foul means; that he was
simply poisoned. As you know, the comrades of Ren
fort h In the boat do not ahare this belief, nor doea Mr.
Walton, the energetic correspondent of The Nemeeistle
Chronicle. But Mr. Oldham says he had known Ren
forth for years, ?had seen him m tit*, had never ?seen bim
In a fit that resembled the malady of whlcfl he died.
Both Mr. Oldham and Mr. Blakey agree In saying that
Renforth was never better than on the day before the
race. I am told that their opinion to the opinion of many
people among the more respectable] classes In Canada;
but of that you have better meana of Judging than we
on this aide. That there waa an attempt at foul
play of another kind appears from the statement of
Mr. Oldham, who watched the boat-house dining the
night before the race. In the course of the dark hours
be discovered a man throwing planks from the roof
down on the Newcastle boat. The man presented a re?
volver st Mr. Oldham, and under cover of that escaped.
And I have heard a woree story than this. The recep?
tion of the remains was the occasion of a demonstration
very fully reported In The Chronicle. It ohe may Judge
from the space given to It In that able paper, the Interest
of Newcastle in Renforth's death haa been surpassed by
but few public events. A subscription to to be raised to
defray funeral expenses, to build a monument, and to
provide a fond for his widow and child.
Mr. Fronde, says The Athen?um, baa relinquished the
editorship of Fritter'! Magasine, and his successor Is to
be Dr. Dasent. The new editor to a XYmes man, a bar?
rister, a student of Norse and translator of Norse books,
of German also, and has recently left The Times to take a
Government appointment of the Civil Service kind, leav?
ing him, no doubt, plenty of leisure to edit his magazine.
I should suppose he might make quite as good a writing
editor aa Mr. Fronde, about the canse of whose retire?
ment I know nothing.
The same Journal Is requested to state that the an?
nouncement of a life of Dickens by Mr. John Forster, In
three or four volumes to appear about Christmas, to " In?
correct;" and that no one has been authorized by Mr.
Forster to make that announcement. The error, I pre?
sume, Iles In the early date assigned for the publication.
It has been understood, and I presume Mr. Forster does
not mean to deny, that he to writing Mr. Dlckena's life ;
meana to make it the biography of his friend, and haa
oollooted much material for the book. The publishers
will be Messrs. Chapman ? Hall, who bare bought the
copyright of Mr. Dlckena's works. If a atory I have
heard about their dealings with the anti or of another
and quite unpretending Life be true, they ?seem to desire
that Mr. Forsters should have tbe market to Itself.
A History of " The Newspaper Press ; Its Origin, Pro?

Tinsley'? list of New Books, to not, I think, ready, but
will be out almost Immediately. It will fill two luge
octavo volumes, mid covers the history of Journalism
from the earliest times down to tbe present. Mr. James
Grant is, I suppose, not the novelist of that name, but
the one who waa formerly editor of The Morning Adver?
tiser, a paper not often quoted In America, but to be
found In every publie house In England. It Is, in fact,
the organ of the licensed victualers. which meana publ??
caos, and Mr. Grant was at the head of It long enough to
know a good deal about Journalism. Any such book pub?
lished a year ago could have given but a very imperfect
notion of English Journalism, as it Is to-day, for It was
not till last year that the London picas learned to nse the
telegraph freely for its continental news. I need not re?

then took, and what services It rendered both to the pub?
