8 NEW YQRg HERALD, MONDAY, SBPTEMJJEH 20, SHEET. POLITICAL INTELLIGENCE. A German Contention In (be Eighth Seuatcrinl District-- A Ileavy Blow Henry W. Gcaet. A delegate convention or German democrats of the Twelfth, Nineteenth and Twenty-second wards convened yesterday at noon, on fifty-ninth rtrfft, near Third avenue.

Each of these wares was represented by eight delegates, cnosen some time ago by the regular German democratic organizations therein. Mr. Julius F. Hennett, of the Nineteenth, was chosen president; Mr. A.

Charles Fromm, of tea Twelfth, vice president, and Dr. EugenffJ, Bode of the Twenty-second ivard, secretary. A committee consisting or Messrs. A.

Some of tlie rural demo- seems, nave been indulging IE a faint hone ffiat lioratio Seymour or some other man from the interior portion of tiie State would be chosen as thp caudate. But the fiat of gone forttt, and as a mafterof coarse decision will not be questioned ssnously. sweeny is be SSs snaa. But over three years must elapse beforea Senator can be elected ia this State again--unless In ihe event or the death or resignation of one oflhe present Seaators-and perhaps the country democrats may derive some comiort from that fact. a STM tllej lrtunott Permitted to Crumble too loudly over any assumption in which their masters of Tammany Hall shall choose to indulge One little circumstance, however, it may be well to tee? in view.

There is no probablliTMthat airyal jBocrat will succeed Senator Conklmg. Tweed and iis fellow conspirators cannot manipulate ths vote for te Le as readily as they can the- metropolis. On a general State ticket uiey eiiecr great things bv means of false resns- tIn S. an similar devices, but their snflratre, ft Is asseitod, belongs mono to the State, and the enforcement of the famous fifteenth amendment pronounced atrocious and subversive of the federal constitution. There Is considerable talk about the usurpations of the party in power, military despotisms, shooting of citizens In tne reconstructed Slates wi'jiout trial by judge and Jury, and other matters of like character.

AH told tho platform la well put together, aad furnielies abnnaant texts for political homilies of damaging character--not against the framers, of course, but against the stolid and well formed ranks of the powers that be. The democracy, la failing to have General Rosecrans as their standard bearer, have been somewhat disorganized, but they are now united and firm under the Peadleton flag. The republicans assort that the lengthy and caustic letter of General Rosecraas, giving his reasons why he could uot accept the.nommation and instructing the umerriiled on some very important points, will be to them worth 10,000 votes. The democrats, however, take the non-acceptance in a philosophic way and tha raoro sultry and sulphuric members of the party think that the deellaatioa was a eood tame for the party. In the republican platform the payment of the national debt, the paymeat of the bonds in gold and the passage of the fifteenth amendment guaranteeing universal sum-age are the chief corner stones on which they build their faith.

As is usual political contests there Is considerable bitterness and acrimony manifested. Such phrases as the "infamous lies of the radical," "a lie squelched," the "lies of Governor Haves and the various radical sheets" grace tne democratic dictionary, while the republicans pronounce the "editor of the Otsfc as a stupid head whom 'twers base flattery to call an ass," and "this," they add, "is noli sarcasm." The record or Pendleton is pronounced able," and the "copperheads" are reviled with rivers of gall and bitterness. The quotations from both parties-are of the mildest and most soothmjr style, as we would not inflict upon tne reaaersof the HEBAUI the genuine out-and-out classic and mode! specimens. It is to be regretted that in our political projress and power our public men and public journals will not discuss the grand and eubiinie question of free government in a manner more calm, dispassionate and forbearing. It would seem that the people of Ohio are in this respect in advance oi their public men and partisan journals tyo farmers or mechanics of opposing politics wn 13 dweuss with more calmness and Chaffer and Hold bacft, any who are disposed to try Jjazardooa experiments upon the patience of tho President and Congress, any who are disposed to dispute every tacn of ground ana thus keep us drafts tog on by slow degrees when wo ouciit to end our pilgrimage as soon as possible and get out of tho darkness into the sunlight, they have no sympathy from us or from the great body or the neoule of Virginia.

And it mieiit perhaps with the same propriety oo urced that a democrat should be elected, because Governor Senter; Senator Brownlow, Secretary Fletcher, Superintendent Tipton, ana BO on are old line wmgs. While we are receiving so many editorial essays on defunct parties and dead issues it is naruly worm while to be mouthiug about OM precedents and customs that prevailed before Yountr America was born.

A Boston radical paper of some political acumen, dances over the field in Ohio and "Truck and dicser" Is the rage in Ohio politics, democrats and republicans forming alliances in many places with reference to local elections. We suppose manj republicans are disgusted with "the ring," and so they go against regular nominations; and the danger is that the democrats may be able to carry the Legislature. The Legislature to be chosen October will not have to elect a Senator; but the question of ratifying the fifteenth amendment will oorae before it.

Is now stated that there Is much competition for the republican nomination for Congress ia Boat- well's (Seventh Massachusetts) district, and that the coming man has not been mentioned. A call for a labor reform State convention, to bo held in Worcester, on the 28th or September, is published. This is the way they gei up a free political barba- cue in ox, a wild deer and lots of pigs arc to be roasted whole." The colored population cry on such occasions, "Let us have piece," and they have It literally. A correspondent of the Athens (Tens.) Post favors the election of ex-President Johnson to the United States Senate, but believes lhat if he should succeed it would be at the end or a long and bitter struggle. Therefore he suggests in lieu or Johnson's nsme that of Jordan Stokes.

From appearances It seems more than iiKely that the selection will be made from tfcg "other side of Jordan." There is a row among the Chicago republicans. The chief organs are out against" the ring--and what's a ring without au organ? What's a churca without a bishop? The Chicago Tribuue wall undoubtedly be an opposition ticket of some kind nominated.

How- nas amount of private cursing a fearful. They complain that the more important offices and tae takes," to employ a printer's phrase, have been given to the republicans, while the bulk of the voting for the ticket will have to be done br the democrats.

Had the names or repuoiican candC dates been submitted in the usual form and subjected to the chances of the ballot, they would have abided the result and feit bound to stand by the decision of the convention. That would have been fair aad honest, and that was what they expected of men who plead their intense anxiety for reform as justification of their refusal to support the reirular republican ticket.

The Importunity with which they besiege Canby lor ad interim appointments, tie confabulations ol their so-called leaders, and tae schemes recently promulgated for a new organization, all go to show that their teeth are still ehowln -and that, recognizing the utter rum which admission of the state will bring upon their Interested loyalty and bogus rennb- licamstn, they nave determined to make strike for military nullification of the popular ver- olct.

The States Senatorial Question-- Postponement the Richmond Enquirer and Examiner (conservative), Sept. The only objection that we can see in delay is that some gentlemen who were formerly prominent in the councils of the State and country, and who had grown gray In polities before the war, may now again seek their old positions. But those of that class who have the moat wisdom and ths best taste tove, we tulnk, generally glvea notice of permanent retirement; aad the "effete respectabilities" will be thrust aside, we trust, without much ceremonr The danger there, at all events, Is not HO great, in our humble judgment, as tha danger of precipitate action, we, therefore, as at present advised, mint an instant election would ba injudicious.

Meanwhile we have no favorite. Aa- sumlmr a proper tamper in Congress, or sufflcient tact and Influence to overcome prejudice, we care not whether those to be elected snail nave been old democrats or old Una whlgs, secessionists or Unionists, rebels or loyalists, for or against the Committee or Mae, original or eleventh hour Walker men.

Their platform is redolent with this spirit, and it is illustrated in tneir ticket Judge Dent, candidate for Governor, is a liberal republican. He is a man of talent, no office-seeker but has occupied distinguished positions. He was a member of the convention that framed the constitution of California and took au active and distinguished part in the deliberations of that body. Subsequently he was a member of the Supreme Court of that state.

He is now doing an extensive practice to the Supreme Court of the Unites States. HIS opposition to the prescriptive policy of tna ultra radicals and his devotion to the people of Mississippi, his adopted State, were attested last winter by his pre-eminent service defeating tlie scheme of Eggleston, Alcorn, Glbbs to force upon them the rejected constitution. THE empties' TEXAS, A New Candidate for Governor--Extension or Time from November 30. (Sept. 16) correspondence of the Louisville Men prominent in the democratic party in Texas write here that there is a prospect that, owing to the division in the republican party in thai State, the democrats will run a ticket with John Hancock for Governor ana James Armstrong for Lieutenant Governor.

Both of these gentlemen are eligible and can command a portion of the conservative votes that would otherwise be thrown for Hamilton the conservative republican candidate. General Sherman has extended the time for holdms the election In Texas to four days. This has been done In consequence or a telegram received by the Secretary or War Irorn General Reynolds stating mat uader the local law, there Is but one voting precinct in a county, and the counties being large, it would be Impossible for the voters to reacn the precinct in many instances In one day In time to vote. On receiving this telegram General Sherman immediately telegraphed to the President, whom he rouadl on Inquiry to be at Plttsburp, stating the substance or Reynold's despatch. The President promptly re sponded, telling the Secretary that ir there was any provision of tho Reconstruction act justifying the extension to grant it.

On examination tiie General fouad a provision for extending the time font days and accordingly authorized Reynolds to order the extension. There has been no similar request made from Mississippi, but if General Ames finds tiie same dial- cuitr in that State there is no reason to aonbt a similar favor will be granted her voting population.

A Blort time since there was published la colnmns a short description of gome of the chamrea projectea and In progress in the southern portion ofWestchester county. These were chiefly in nectlon with new roads, boulevards and which are being laid oat by various commissions under the supervision of the Central Part commlg. sion. But changes even greater taau those already effected by the opening of the new system of ave. nues, In the unper portion of New YorK Island ana the lower portion of Westchester county, are in contemplation, and below will bo found a brief descrli tion of some of these projects.

A number of nei? railroads have obtained charters and have made surveys of their routes. THB NSW TOBK AND BOSTON RAILROAD, on account of Its through connectioas, is one of tna most Important. This road Is to commence at KIngft bridge on the llarlem river or Spnyten Duyvfl crecs, and'take a northerly course through tne ley of TiDblt's brook and the Saw Mill river. Kingsbriaga the track will be located within three or four thousaad feet of the Hudsoa river, and bacg of Yonkers It will not be more thaa one mile east nj the river. It will pass in nearly a straight line aftef leaving KingsbrMge for a few miles, when it will tead northeasterly to reach toe Saw Mill river va) ley.

Its course may be definitely ascertained by drawing ajllno on the map, from Klngsbrldge to a point equivalent to 220 feet east of the Van CorO landt manor. The road' will pass between tho Van Cortlandt Manor Bouse ana the carrlago house of the same estate, running parallel with Oloff Park, a short distance to th.6 west of it, and almost touching its north. western corner. At this point its first station wonia naturally be located In oruer to afford the residents or the Park increased facilities of reaching the city. After passing further north the railroad will reacB CrotonLake, Lake Mahopao and Brewsters, in Putnam county.

This road has already maao great progress la all the steps preliminary to tae actual commencement of the work ol grading and laying track. The direa- tors nave been elected, tae ronta surveyed and filed, and the money necessary to prosecute the worfe in a great measure provided by the towns along the route boadinz themselves for the regalslta amounts. Work will be commenced in a very shorS time and tus officers of tna railroad to nave some fifteen or twenty miles graded before snow falls.

THE NEW YOEK AND HIGHLAND SUSPENSION BRIDOB RAILKOAD. Another railroad, running parallel with the Net? iork and Boston Kailroaa, is projected, as a through route to the West, as a coauecclou of the Erie Kau road, and as the route over which the Western traffifl will reach the cltv of New York. This road is to ran below the easterly slope of Fordhain Kidge, nea? the Croton Aqueduct, between A and Central avenues. It will skirt the western border of Jerome Park ana win run a short distance to the east of Oloff Park.

This road will bo built in connection with the Highland suspension bridge, which Is to cross the Hudsoa river somewhere In the neighborhood of Fishklli. Two com. pauies have been organized, one to Dulid tne ttriqga and the other to construct tue railroad. The first station proposed oa this route Is at the crossing the Wiliiamsbrldge road, near the upper end of Oloff Para.

Most of vour propositions and jour aim meet my hearty an- provai.

Neither of ihe three couia stand alone in sustaining the burden; but the three leaning agamst each other luce the sides of a mid, would be proof against any pressure lives are not cures; and 1 fear a relapse would follow anything short of a radical cure, lad then, everTM a a ea asjouJiopefor, the resumption mat would briag would not be such a resumo- turn as the people expect or desire.
