POLITICAL. IIei'I'blican Ratification Meeting at Hempstead. Ou Saturday there was a grand ratification meeting by the Republicans of Queeni County, at Hempstead Win.

L. Lang in the Chair. Wagons arrived with enthusiastic delegations from various Clubs in the County. There are now Clubs in nearly every villuge in Queens County, and there are indications of a spirited campaign. The meeting was addressed by W.

II. Curtis, and Joseph Iloxie, Esqs. and the Republican ticket was endorsed with enthusiasm. The following named persons are tho officers of tho new Republican Campaign Club recently organized in the Eastern District President Thomas W. Field.

Tenth Ward. Tho Tenth Ward Republican Club hold a 8ccial meeting this evening to take measures to hear rcjtorts of committee to form a Third Assembly District Club. Every Tenth Ward Republican should be on hand. Consolidation of the Republican Clubs. It is an undeniable fact, that if all the woi kingmen of the' Republican party would concentrate their forces under one organization, the Work of the campaign would be more effectually and systematically, therefore satisfactorily done.

There can, then, be no conflicting elements and in the case of a grand demonstration much time is saved, in that one club will not have to wait for the action of the other, and all the arrangements can be completed at one meeting. The same in any other public matters, where they are equally interested. The object of these remarks is not to urge a consolidation, unless it can be accomplished in a manner satisfactory to both clubs' and to be of advantage to the party. The forms of conducting business iu the clubs are slightly different. The joint committee who have met have agreed upon a constitution which is satisfactory to both wings, and the Rocky Mountain Club has endorsed the action of the committee.

The-work of both is in precisely the same field. The principles are the same. What one club sees the necessity of doing, the other is acting upon it. Now the question arises, why are they not consolidated There is no reason whatever. Each club has a pride of its own but that should not be allowed to interfere with the objects of the organization, or the success of its principles.

Tho Ashland Club hold a meeting this evening at the Wigwam, and it remains for them to consider this matter deliberately, and accomplish that which is best for the interest of tho Republican party of Kings County. It is tho wish of a great majority of the Republicans of Kings County that there be a union. Every memlier of the Ashlund Club should bo at the meeting this evening, at the Wigwam. It is their duty to consider well whether consolidation is advisable or not. jr.

We presume it means that its corse is laid out, and that its two disjointed divisions will soon be consigned to the tomb at the great burials soon to come off at Richmond and Baltimore. now Honest Abb Treats Poob Clients. A correspondent sends the New York Tribune the following letter from an honest carpenter residing at Champaign City, 111., which shows pretty well how Mr. Lincoln is liked by the laboring people of his own State, aud how easy he is with them "Champaign City.

He was illing to give his services for two days to thts poor mechanic, to see that justice was done him, and then, although successful, he charged him for his services the small compensation of $5.

St. Louis Dem. THEIR ARRIVAL IX NKW-TORK THEIR FHYS-IOLOOICAL ORGANIZATION AND PECULIARITIES.

The Japanese Embassy reached New York at 2 o'clock Saturday afternoon, and were received in a manner which they must have considered very flattering. Not less than one million of people were in the streets, on the house tops and crowding ths windows of houses on the route of the procession. About 7,000 troops formed the escort, accompanied by a large force of the Metropolitan Police, who gained fresh laurels by the order in which they kept the great crowd of people. Nothing -whatever occurred to mar the occasion, and the Em bassy reached their quarters at about 6 o'clock, faitgued but much pleased with their reception. Messrs.

Fowler Wells have had. a peep at these strangers, and make the following interesting report, by which our readers can get a far better idea of them than from anything heretofore published The Japanese are interesting subjects for phrenological and physiological The members of the Embassy are, probably, not physically speaking the nest specimens be longing to their nation, they are ot medium height, and rather broadly biiilt, though not very muscular. Their temperament appears to be bilious-nervous, or what we call motive-mental, indicating endurance, hardihood, and power, joined to considerable mental activity. 1'ho vital temperment is not very manifest. Their features, though smoother, are of the character oTthe North American Indians.

They have high cheek-bones, linn features, sharply delined lips a little inclined to be thick straight and well-formed noses, eyes well spread asunder, with a well-defined and prominent brow. The upper portion of their foreheads, iu the region or the reasoning intellect, is not largely developed. In fact, tho middle and back portion of their heads is relatively larger than the front, showing that, though they have considerable civilization and culture, they have not that intellectual development which appertains to the Caucasian race. An eqiuil number of distinguished men from any' European nation would show a more ample development of the intellectual lobe of brain. Their Percentives bcint? lartro.

thev are nructical. quick to gather knowledge, ana apt at learning, and, we doubt not, their visit to this country will enable tnein to carry back to their own a vast fund of practical information, which will be of incalculable advantage, to their great empire. Their intellect, howevor, is better de veloped than that ot tne iNortli American In dians, if we exeebt an occasional sneciinen like Ked Jacket. The form of the Japanese head is high at the crown, showing large Firm ness and which gives strength of purpose and dignity of character 'with a full share of Cautiousness, which renders them guarded, prudent, and conservative, lhey have also a full decree of Secretiveness. and considerably more Acquisitiveness thau the American aborigines.

Their Conscientiousness is also a prominent quality. We should recognize the Japanese as an honest, prudent, ambi tious, proud, and politic people. Every member of the Embassy has rather large Secretiveness. snow now to keep their own counsels and to absorb tlie knowled; of those around them. ithout seeming to take much notice, or appearing to be interest ed, they doubtless are deeply so.

As a class, they have rather large Veneration, though one or two ol tne members are not strongly devel oped in this faculty, their heads being shaved as far back as the ears, aud all across tlie top and crown, an excellent opportunity is given for reading their phrenological develo-nients. We observe that the members of the Embassy all have large Order, indicating method anj system, as well as a tendency to neat ness and decorum. Their largo apnrobativeness renders them fond of titles, parade, paraphernalia, decorations and ceremonies. We regard the Japanese as superior to the Chinese, though it is doubtless unfair to make the comparison be tween this Embassy, which is composed of superior men, and the common Chinamen who aro located at the corner of our streets, selling and are ot tlie lower class or their na tion, nut we have seen some of the better class of who were educated and prominent and we do not hesitate to pronounce the Japanese fully their equal, if ndt their su perior. iV tlunk tbev Have better balanced heads, nioro executive'ness, and more general intelligence; still, in many respects they bear a resemblance to each other.

It is interesting to observe the difference in temperament, in features, and in expression between the differ ent "mem lers of this Embassy. Two of them look steady, calm, and meditative. One looks stern, courageous, and commanding; another looks penetrating, thoughtful, and strong; another appears sharp, active, restless, exceed ingly sensitive, and alivo to all witlun the reach of his eve or ear. In other words, one is nervous and highly mental in temperament, two others have motive or billions tempera ments, two others still show a considerable degree of the vital temperament. But they do not vary in tenieraiuent more than an equal number of our own race.

From Europe Garihaliji Still Suc cessful. By the arrival yesterday evening of the liijlumian at Farther Point, from Liverpool on the 6th and Londonderry on the 7th, we have three days later intelligence from Euroie. It is of considerable importance. Tho reports concerning Garibaldi aud the bombardment of Palermo aro, as usual, conflicting. According to some advices, tho bombardment still continued, while others describe Garibaldi as having stormed the citadel, lifter the capture of a portion of the Neapolitan artillery.

Subsequent accounts state that on a proposition of General Luniza, commander of the royal troojis, an armistice had licen concluded. Garibaldi demanding that the Neapolitan nrmy should evacuate Palermo. This would seein to be true, an still later advices from Naples, represent the King as refusing the conditions, the recommencement of hostilities being close at hand. Later dispatches still state that the bombardment had commenced, while a telegram from Palermo, of the 3d announces that the armistice still continued that Garibaldi was master of the town, but that the Neapolitantroopsheld theforts. Letters from the French squadron say that Garibaldi was comiollcd to grant an armistice through a failure of ammunition.

Ofliccrs from the Sardinian army were aliout to join him. From England we learn that the Post-ofHcc aiitlioriii's had notified the Company of the Galway Line that services on the mail contract were to commence on the 20th for New York, and on the 10th of July for lloston. The Company were to hold an extraordinary meeting to borrow money. In tho House of Commons, Mr. Gladstone stated that 300,000 more would be wanted for the expenses of tlie China war.

Lord John Kussell denied that it was the intention of the Government to postpone the Reform Bill until next session. In commercial matters there was a slight decline in cotton, with an advance in flour and wheat, owing to the unfavorable state of the weather. Provisions were at nominal prices. Sanitary Convention-. The Annual Convention of the Sanitary Reform Association, nt Boston adjourned ou Saturday, having been thrcs days in session.

Among the subjects considered were our prosent im perfect system of sewerage and drainage, the value' of heat as a disinfectant a topic which elicited some debase several mem bers bouaending that an extreme degree of cold was a more powerful disinfectant thau a corresponding degree of heat aud the anointment of a Special Committee on State hose duty should be to report at the next auuual session such subjects of sanitary importance as in their judgment require legislation or investigation, for their permanent improvement. This lust motion was tabled, after a warm debate, aud a Committee at large was appointed. of Sessions, this city, two years ago, of attempting to kill John J. Potts, a respecta ble and wealthy citizen of Brooklyn, and was sentenced to nine years' imprisonment in the State Prison at Sing Sing a sentence which, was generally approved of in this city and New York, where the prisoner was so well known. Mr.

Potts died a few months ago, and now Mr. N. F. Waring, as counsel for Dawson, makes a motion before Judge Garrison, in the Court of Sessions, for a new trial, on the ground that additional and essential testimony has been produced." This trick has been played too often to pass current with Judge Garrison. The fact is, Potts, tho principal witness against Dawson, being dead, and the other witnesses who so reluctantly testified on his trial, are scattered to the four-quarters of the globe, and if a new trial should be granted now, it would be folly to attempt to convict again.

Let this practice be sanctioned by the Courts, without the most positive knowledge that a real injustice has been done, and tho, result would be that one-half of the convicts now at Sing Sing, would be released from durance vile. We doubt if a single man now a State prisoner, who has been there for two or more years, if granted a new trial, could be again convicted, -ji Another Outrage by the Police. The Police of the 19th Ward, New York, yesterday morning interrupted a prizo fight at the foot of 51st street, arrested the principals and several of the bystanders Of course these "by-srandcrs" were "doing nothing," and we expect the plug-ugly press will rush td'tlie Perhaps, however, it makes a difference which side of the East River such outrages are committed. At a convocation of Catholics in Balti more, it was agreed to support Judge Douglas for the Presidency; and this decision has since been endorsed by tho Pope at Rome. Notwithstanding this well-known fact, tho New York Express is advocating the nomination of the same mau.

Party politics mako strange bed-fellows. We should not be at ull surprised some evening to see Archbishop Hughes and Erastus Brooks walking arm-in-arm. (uZa lleenan and Saycrs) in token of a cordial union of Kn's and Roman Catholics, to draw a crowd at Cooper Institute. As Slavery is the corner-stone of our institutions," the Post thinks it is a great oversight that the Japs" are not to bo permitted to see the peculiarites of the state of society south of Mason's and Dixon's line. It writes It is certainty very strange that Southern meuibers of who have such an abiding faith iu their social and who watch with such eager eyes over its interests, should not have protested against this partial treatment of the Japanese stranger that the Cabinet should have acquiesced in it more strange still that the venerable public functionary at the head of the government should not have honored Congress with a special message, protesting against the "sectional" character of this tour and tho injurious effect it must have upon our reputation abroad." Some strong-headed females have adopted a novel modo of carrying out a missionary work in Minnesota, by marrying aniong the Indians, whom they wish to civilize.

Simpler materials could not well be taken in hand, but the painter has known what to do with them. With these means he has produced what we are inclined to think, on the hole, the most vigorous piece of coloring in this year a exhibition.

The execution is as broad aiid sketchy as the elements of effect are simple. But if this work be tho fair result of Mr. Whistler's own lalxir from nature, and not a transcript or reminiscence of some Spanish picture, this gentleman has a future of his own before him, and his next performance should be curiously watched."

The Japanese Assassination. Under date of April 15, H. Dana, "rTp riles from Kanegawa, Japan Mr. Dorr (United States Consul) tells tliat the report of the assassination of the Prince Regent by emissaries of toe Prince of Meto is true. Tlie Emperor is a boy of 16.

The Prince a i of Meto is a great fendal chief, who is bitterly 'opposed to foreigners, to the treaties recently made, ana so tne party in power, which is supposed to favor foreigners. Immediately on the assassination, the Prince of Meto with- drew to his country in the mountains, and has been levying a large force. Civil war is p- prehended. 1'he Japanese authorities have told Mr. Dorr that they cannot protect him in Kanegawa, if the Prince of Meto comes this way, and advise him to retire to Yokubaina, but be refuses, believing it to be a dodge to re- move the Consulate." (i The above is doubtless reliable at all events so far as Mr Dana is concerned.

It is therefore painfully evident that the open' lag of trade with the Japanese is anything but an accomplished fact and that the visit of the present embassy may not result in any practical good. There is a strong par-' ty in Japan opposed to any intercourse 1. whatever with foreigners, and the chances v. are equal that this party may or may not have control of the government when the present ambassadors reach their native Should the opponents of foreign Intercourse be in power, our visitors would have the alternative offered thcin of having their heads cut off in a scientific manner or performing the interesting ceremony, which freely rendered in English means happy despatch," that is committing suicide in due and ancient form by ripping their bel-v ies open. Under these circumstances, the great powers which have entered into treaty with this country, should manage to have a naval force in the Japanese waters upon the re.

torn of the Embassy, to afford them any protection that they may feel disposed to demand, and abovo all to see that this people conform to the stipulations of the treaty, and afford the necessary pro tection to Americans and their property. be it known, that our people arc already emigrating in scores to that mysterious land. There is just enough mystery about Japan and the people, to excite Amer icans to visit the country, and if no civil war breaks out, and the present govern mental policy is pursued, not many years will hav9 passed before the cities, ojien to foreigners, will bs as full of as Calcutta and other Pacific ports, with which we are now in full communion. Now that we have got a foothold in this country, it will not answer to surrender any right we may have obtained by treaty JThe world is too far advanced to permit any 'nation to shrink back into its shell, and refuse all intercourse with foreigners. This, at the present day, would not be permitted even without a treaty.

But with one, which' will if carried out benefit all parties interested, of course no reaction can be permitted. But we have hopes that the favorable reports which the Embassy must carry back to the Tycoon, will appease so much of the opposition heretofore manifested, as to render it comparatively insignificant and unsuccessful in any attempt to avoid or break up the treaty. The ovation in this country has been one springing from the best of feeling. Everything that has been done, has been a studied effort to please and instruct our visitors. They are evidently very favorably impressed with our good will and our power, aud the importance to both conn-tries of free commercial intercourse.

Upon returning loaded with presents aud tokens of friendship from this great people to their own, let us hope that our efforts will be cowned with success. The head of the Democratic party met in Richmond on the 11th inst. The tail of that party meets to-day in Baltimore. There are all kinds of surmises as to the result but of that something definite can be said when the Convention shall have concluded its business. There are people who profess to believe that Douglas, like tho Roman of old, will sacrifice himself for tho good of the uartv.1- and secure for himself a historic fumo but these dreamers calculate without their host.

We predict that he will stick for the nomination as long as the woman trusted in Providence. In ancient Rhode Island a woman was ran away with by a spirited horse. In describing the peril to which she was exposed, site said that her trust was in Providence until the breeching broke when that gave way she had no hope. As Mr. Douglas's breeching is doubtless a very strong one, we don't believe that it will break at Baltimore.

But we shall see what we shall see. Reader, think of two thousand Republicans in the First Ward of New York in mass meeting with old Joe Iloxie talking to them, as was the case one night last week Four years ago no man dared to acknowledge himself a Republican in that Ward, and before the Metropolitan Police force came into existence, any man voting against the Democracy there did so at the peril of serious personal injury, perhaps life itself. This may be only the indication of a. stnw. but to us it looks as though the people, who have so long been deceived by the sham Democracy, were getting their eyes open a little.

The first regular meet ing of this Club was held at Norwich on the evening of the 12th inst. The President, on calling the meeting to order, delivered ad annronriate adrcss. After tho transac tion of certain business by tho Club, the crowd in attendance listened with attention to an eloquent, argumentative and able speech from Samuel B.

Quigley, Esq. The roll was signed by many new members, some of whom had never before identi fied themselves with tho Republican partv. The next meeting of this Club will bo held at Hicksville on Saturday evening, July 7. Here is another nail driven through one of the current lies circulated against Mr. Lincoln TO TUB PUBLIC.

My attention bas been called tn a statemen which appeared in the Chicaiio Times, as edi torial. on thei29th davof Slav, 1800, that the Hon. Abraham Lincoln, while a member of the XXXth Congress, purchased three pair of boots, "they beinn paid lor out of tlie public money," by his order, and charged to him as statiouerv I and furtlier, that I be saiu boots are charged tn his account on the books of the of Representatives. Knowing these charges to be false; I deem it my duty to make the following statement, under oath; 1st. The stationery nsed by the members of the House ol Kepresentatives lsiurmsiiea tnem by the Postmaster of the House, who settles ith them.

2d. A ledger account is kept between the several memliers and the Postmaster, and every article is charged to them on the day it is obtained. 8d. The books of the Postmaster of the House of Representatives of the XXXth Congress, by virtue of in' ofhec. are now in my possession.

1 have carefully examined the siuno. and therein an account against the Hon. Abraham Lincoln, in which the usual items of stationery are charged to him but there are nn such items charged as alleged by the writer of thA article in the Chicaao Times. I therefore pronounce the allocations sheer fabrications, devoid of truth, and destitute of louuuauou tu iruLii. J.

The Rochester Union (Democratic) is not, we judge, partial to the "Sage of Bingham ton," Dan'l S. Dickinson. It thinks as candidate for the Presidency, Dickinson would not poll the party vote in this state by $50,000, that he is "weak intellectually as he is vacillating politically and further that Mr. Dickinson indulges the conceit that he is a ereat lawver, and having, doubtless, notic ed that his jrreat "model, ebster, once excused himself by pleading a "professional en gagement," he always contrivea to lug bis own imaginary or real "professional engagements" into ever ljttr I tie never noticed but or, letter of his for near ten vears which did not contain the "professional engagement feature, down to the tune we rallied him on the subject nor have we noticed it in a sinye oue since At a meeting of the Republican State Committee, held at the Astor House, New York, June 14, the following resolutions were adopted Resolved, That the Committee desire to ex press their feelings of regret and condolence tor tlie recent death of our late associate, John 8. Schoolcraft, of Albanv.

whose eminent ner- sonnl worth, warm and generous devotion to the Republican cause in which we are engaged hose heartv concurrence and sunrxirt of all that is manly and philanthropic, while endear ing uis memoir to us, render it eminently pro per that we express these sentiments. Resolved, That a cony of the foregoing resolution, signed by the Chairman and Secretary, be transmitted to the family of the deceased. The Committee also adopted the follow ing resolutions Resolved. That in the death of Dr. F.

W. Lord, of Suffolk County, a member of this Committee, we are called upon to deplore the loss oft citizen of eminent worth, whose many virtues endeared him to all who bad the honor of his acquaintance. Resolved, That an authenticated copy of the foregoing resolution be forwarded to the family of the deceased. Of Gen. Sam Houston, Governor of Tex Medical.

The National Sanitary Convention, sitting in Boston, has also attracted the personal attention of our honorable Mayor. We learn from tho Presidential opening speech, that this doctorial Convention has decided that the yellow fever is no epidemic disease at all for reasons no doubt perfectly satisfacfactory to this assemblage. The next point to be decided will be, as it is rumored how can a nation be healthy if the towns aro unclean and therefore un healthy?" If this question is equally satisfactorily decided, than this Convention may adiourn die, save further useless cxpen. ses, and look back npon its great achieve ments with just pride, his iionor should be in search of olfactory material for this impending discussion, we should think he might had them ot the most argumentative and penetrating kind in Atlantic street. fll.

if. Passenger Taxes. Every pen should help you fight the battle of the Ferries," because the assumption of the New York Corporation to levy a tax npon the people crosiug the Sound from New York to Brooklyn, and vice versa, is an outrage-upon every citizen of this country, and not alone a violation of the rights of this city. Thero are two items in question the license itself, and the charge for it, or lease. I dony that any city on the Sound has a right to license ferries, because none has a right of way over the Sound.

It may have beea convenient or expedient in the colonial times to let New Amsterdam or New Y'ork city, then the main settlement in the colony, manage that little convey ance over the Sound between New York and Long Island, then a mere waste but such temporary police regulations, in their nature, never bestow a right tor all times to come, as cvery-day experience proves. Therefore the Legislature in 184G appointed a special ferry commission to regulate tins transit according to present exigencies, setting this old tcmiiorarv expedient aside. llut there is the rub tins law, so jsay the papers, cannot be made ocrative for the want of over $10,000, to be furnished by Brook lyn, to sue JScw lork, in order to force it to obey this law, and cease to levy a tax of over $100,000 per annum upon the passen 1 lus is, no doubt, ono ot the most extraordinary and outrageous specimens of civil administration in a so-called civilized model republic ol Christendom. It is su perfluous to distinctly show that these $100, 000 are but an indirect tax levied upon the public at large, as unjust and inadmissible as it would lie to a tux for ironing Broadway, or Wall street, or tho Ocean. What is a river, or lake, or ocean, in regard to locomotion, but a common water street I admit the necessity of regulating certain land and water communications but to tax under the cloak of a license, travellers, is a kiud of thievish legislation belonging to times past, when certain barons forced the travellers to pay a toll for the privilege of passing unrobbed.

lias lease, or tax, should bo refused by the ferry companies. The New York Corporation may then fight away tho law of '40 at their own expense. If there is a shadow of justice in the land, this terrible nuisance should not live a single day longer (isouth) Columbia, aud other streets nearer the harbor in his place of government. Well, please let them not pass tho No Kamis, via Atlantic street it might con trast too strongly with their own streets, which, according to Commodore Perry's and other reports, are exceedingly clear all the year round Dr. Shamomile.

Vert Nicelt Done. Last evening. about 9L o'clock, while a gentleman and his wife were walking down Court street towards Second Place, they were accosted by a respectably dressed looking man, who, it seems, made use of some very offensive and viturperative remarks to the lady. At this unusual procedure, tho husband quietly told his wife to stand one side for a moment while he would show the man who he was applying his remarks to the lady did so, and then commenced one of the most thorough whippings a poor mortal ever received. The claret flew profusely from the nasal acqued net of the assailant, but this did not seem to satisfy the desiie of the husband, for he still kept laying on the cane which he had iu his hand, unmercifully over the cranial bones of the insulter.

After completing his work in a masterly manner he again proceeded with his lady, receiving the entire approbation of the eye witnesses. We suppress the names because the parties are well known and respected in this community. As Eta Witness. The South SI street M. E.
