THE MUNICIPAL CONTEST. There is no reason why the full registered vote of this city should not be polled to morrow; and there is no reason to fear that it will not be counted exactly as it shall have been cast.

Every precaution has been taken to maintain the peace and to preserve order at all the polls. It is our grateful task to acknowledge, in be half of the public, the service thus rendered to the community by the authorities concerned. Register Cavanac has, we believe, labored zealously to the appointment of honest and capable men as Commissioners of Election. In the matter of registration he has acted with perfect fairness towards all parties in the field. Every competent voter has, upon due application, been registered without unnecessary delay or hindrance, while, so far as possible, every fraudulent attempt has been thwarted.

We understand that some six or eight thousand names of dead men, nonresidents, and imaginary citizens, have been stricken from the lists. Believing, then, that the election will be fair and free, we have little doubt that the ticket of the People's Democratic Association will poll a very considerable majority of the Democratic vote. In the first place, no Democratic ticket, has ever put in the field in opposition to the nominees of the regular organization" under so many favorable auspices. The ticket is good in itself. No unbiased man can contrast its personnel with that of the "regular" ticket without according it the merit of superior capacity and more approved public record.

Then It is a ticket entirely Democratic. Its supporters will vote for Hancock and English, for Ellis and for Gibson. They will suffer defeat rather $han trade a single vote in opposition to tie Presidential and Congressional nominees. Again, the ticket'will appeal to the sympathies of all the true friends of the Democratic party, be. cause it is specially intended as a rebuke to the usurpations and irregularities of the so called organization." Finally, it is in every way free from ring influence either commercial or political, present or prospective.

We can hardly imagine that any man will vote the Fitzpatricfc ticket we believe it is not known anywhere as the Denis ticket on the ground that it represents superior business capacity as demonstrated by actual success or on the ground of the greater fidelity of its personnel to the essential principles of the Democracy or on the ground that its nominees have been more faithful to the party when fidelity gave no promise of official reward, or when it was a question of life, and death on those historic the 14th of September and the 9th of January. Indeed, we cannot conjecture any ground on "which a man outside of the disciplined cohorts of the ring bosses, without an ax to 'grind, or a bee in his bonnet, could vote by preference the Fitzpatrick ticket. We await the issue, therefore, with confidence. 1 In our leader of yesterday morning on "Our Municipal Ticket," special mention was made of each of the candidates nominated by the People's Democratic Association, with the exception of Col. ft.

Le gardeur, candidate for the Administratorship of Finance. As the whole ticket has been repeatedly indorsed by us, and as we have before dwelt at length upon CoL Legardeur's claims to the suffrage of the good people of New Orleans, his friends and ours will understand that the omission in the article in question was the result of inadvertence merely. Both as a soldier and as a civilian CoL, Le gardeur has won laurels of which ail his fellow citizens may well be proud. He was among the most useful members of the late constitutional convention, and his reputation as a man of affairs is well established. We regard his nomination as among the best made by the People's Democratic Association.

Nota Bene. It has been decided by all parties concerned that the two Recorders shall be voted for by. each voter in the municipal election tomorrow. That is to say, a citizen of the npper district will vote not only for a nominee for the recordership of that district, but of the lower district also, and rice versa. There has been Borne dispute about the construction of the law touching this matter but the plan proposed is the safer one, ior the reason that if the courts decide that each suffragan can vote only for a Reeorderof his own district, the decision can be complied with, and the returns corrected without invalidating the election.

CSpecial Correspondence of the new York, Oct. 27, 1580. A farewell banquet was riven to Cyras W. Field last evening at the Union Club.

The tables 'were spread in the theatre ot the club bouse, which was exquisitely decorated with bunting and flowers. Oven a hundred of the more prominent citizens of New York were gathered to do honor to the guest. His health was proposed by Joseph H. Choate, who spoke in a humorous vein. I oonnot disguise from myself," he Bald, that my first emotion on hearing that Cyrus W.

Field was going abroad off some where Into space was a certain unoertain sensation of repose, if not of relief. What nice, quiet timts we shall hare for a twelvemonth here in the Western Hemisphere. No more enterprise no more enterprise. A truce for awhile to that nervous draft upon the race. Indispensable always from the presence of this man.

It must be that this Indomitable spirit of his this indomitable will which has the courage never to yield, contemplates some mysterious enterprise on the other side of the world. We shall miss his bosy, nervous energy, and say with Milton, that if this Field were lost then all were lost. We cannot fail to wonder where he is going and what he is going for. Certainly be is not going for mere pleasure we know him roo well for thau Borne grand speculation is burning In his ambitious bosom some enterprise too startling to be revealed to us all at once. Is there to be a telegraph to the moon or to Marst There is nothing in such a scheme he would not undertake, and he would find in this very oompany a syndicate to back him up.

Or perhaps our unusual proximity to Jupiter, which is 190,000.000 miles nearer to us than usual, may have tempted him to survey the belt of that planet for a belt railroad. In this world or that to come he certainly will not rest until he has done something of the sort sent a fixed star adrift or 'coagulated or at least skimmed the milky way. Mr. Field's health was drank standing and he spoke in response with much feeling. After referring retrospectively to the time when he first came here from the Berkshire hills forty five years ajro, the city being then built up only to Bleecker street, he said We are proving that America, is not only the richest nation in the world but the most prompt to meet every obligation incurred in time of war or of peace.

For that great triumph of American honor we are Indebted in a large degree without disparagement to any other class to the merchants and bankers of New York. Ot such a body ot men any city might well be proud, and certainly I am proud that a oompany of gentlemen of suob character should oome together to show their friendship and respect for me. la going away I cannot say with Burns, "Farewell, my friends; farewell, my foes;" for I see here only friends, and foes I trust there are none anywhere. It would be strange, indeed, if in an active life of over forty years there had not been, in its many struggles and contests, an occasional excitement and expression of feeling not always of the most pleasant character. Bat all that la a ripple on the stream, stirred by a breath and soon past.

When a man has reached sixty years of age he can afford to forget petty dlft'erV ences with those whom in his heart he holds in sincere respect. Surely, I shall carry to the other side of the globe none but kindly and grateful remembrances. When I find myoelf amid the dusky races of Asia and Airica, any man who Is a true American witl seem to me like a brother. I thank you again and again for all your kindness, and the good wishes you express for me I would return into your own bosoms. May Heaven bless you all, and may He who rules over nations as well as individuals bless the dear old land which is the mother ot ns all.

He was represented at the Centennial by "The Lagoons of Venice" and Kern Ombres." The latter belongs to the collection ot the late Marshall O.Roberts. No one who has the welfare of the country at heart ean take exception to the action of the Episcopal Convention, in adopting the fallowing: Whereas, he work of the ehureh of Christ and the beat interests of Christian civilization are seriously impeded in one of the Territories of the united States by the existence of polygamy, recognized by a large proportion of the community as a religious Institution, and whereas polygamy is not only contrary to the laws of God but is also forbidden under severe penalties by the Government of the United States by act of Congress, which act has been deolared constitutional by the Supreme Court ot the United States; therefore, belt Resolved, the Bouse of Bishops concurring. That while there are peculiar difficulties in the execution of this law, owing to religious fanaticism, doubtless oftentimes sincere, by which the institution of polygamy is upheld, and especially to the fact that the Interests ot many innocent persons are unhappily involved, it is still the duty of every Cortstlan and citizen of this land to use his influence to the United States Government In bringing about, aa speedily as possible, a merciful but firm enforcement of the law in regard to polygamy or bigamy in the territory of the United States.

The autumn reception of the American Museum of Natural History ws held yesterday arternoon. A majority of the trustees were present and the gathering was encouragingly large.

Yidette. MEMORIAL EXERCISES. Bishop Keener's Address en the Late Judge Edward McGehee, of Missis slppl. Yesterday morning Bishop Keener preached a sermon in the Carondelet street M. E.

Church South upon the occasion of the death of Juage Edward McGehee, of Mississippi, who departed this life a few days ago. The Rev. Dr. Walker, pastor of this church, assisted in the service. After an eloquent introductory from the text.

Him that overcometh will I make a pillar in the ti mple of my God and he shall go no more out" Rev. 3d, 12th Bishop Keener gave the following history of the life and services in the church and the world of one of the worthiest characters this country has ever produced Judge Edward McGehee' an old man, full of years and good works, has passed away whose life was full of success and of high endeavoras a man, a citizen and a Christian; whose death was full ot hope and I come tots day to honor him and pay a tribute to his memory in behalf of this church and the Methodists of this city. A character so singularly grand and beau tiful as his is worthy of study, as well as of our admiration. What were the influences which originally shaped and developed it and what the surroundings in which it came to its noblest maturity. As a citizen of Mississippi he was universally known and honored lrom its Senators in Congress to the laborers in its fields.

He had inoved Into the State in his early manhood some seventy two years ago. Bat he had then al ready reoelveejin his heart from the Holy Spirit the Impress of a new nature, whose divine principles and holy affections formed his character, and thenceforth shone conspicuously in his life. In Georgia, his native State, he was identified with the Methodists the two Pierces and Bishop Capers, then about his own age. were his personal friends. Hope Hull and those older preachers who laid the foundation of Methodism so broadly in that State, were the men who to bis mind all that was venerable and holy in tbe Christian Ministry.

Inasmuch as the doctrines of our church were not merely a feature In his life, bnt the soul of his faith, and were at the sources of bis history, I therefore call your most prayerful attention to those scriptures which his Christian career suggests, and whioh doubtless wese often the theme of his noblest the life long object of his impassioned prayer. In Revelations, the third chapter and at the 12th verse will be found the text "Him that overcometh will I make a PIIXAH II THE TEMPLE OJP MX GOD, A2l HE SHALL GO NO MORE OUT." The Sermon. Judge McGehee's connection with Methodism in New Orleans began In 1819. In that year Dr. Winans, Mark Moore and Judge McGehee came to this city, and a preaching plaoe was secured in the loft of a flour inspector's office, at the corner of Foydras and Carondelet streets; the Judoe gave the bagging which was used to cover the rafters and to form the sides of the room.

Those were tbe days of Sisters Skinner, Canu and Coleman, and Mark Moore was the preacher in charge. Out ot this beginning grew the church, a frame builaing on Gravier street, between Baronne and Carondelet. It was mainly built by him. Afterward, in the year 1838, a very imposing brick church was built on the original site of tbe loft, at the corner of Poy dras and Carondelet streets. To this he contributed largely, and it remained indebted to him over and above his gifts some $40,000.

This debt he offered to cancel If the church would pay him 916,000 in eaoh. In 1862 this money was raised, and in oompany with the Hon. J. W. Crockett, I waited upon Judge McGehee at the So.

Charles Ho tel to make the payment. He received us In his own affectionately polite way, and listened to our prooltion. But in a manner and with a grace quite indescribable he said, I have always considered this as given to the Lord, and cannot consent to accept, anything from my brethien of the Poyoras We explained to him that a large amount had been raised to accomplish this and other purposes for the placing Methodism upon better footing in the city. But he was firm, and upon our still pressing him to accept something, he consented to take 12000 toward building a church in Wilkinson county, Miss. There was a tremulous emotion and modesty in the manner of his making this gift that im prteaed the benefioence of the gift Itself, ior he seemed to be the obliged party la the transaction.

It was directly after this event, that by tbe unanimous action of the board of its trustees the corporate title of this church was changed to "the McGehee M. E. Church, To all the great enterprises of the Christian chnrch he gave a sirt ngand hearty support. Year after year he gave largely to tue American Bible 80 ciety, and the American Colonization Book ty. He took an early interest la Methodist schools, especially In the Wood vine Female Seminary, and in the Centenary College.

He originally purchased the build in of the latter from the State of Louisiana, and subsequently eave to its buildings and endowment some 970,000. He supported his own church in all Its departments. me years ago when the annual oonfur erence met at Woodville he gave to every Ttreftchex a blanket and horses to several of them. Had he charged by his Lord with rpeoial care of the poor, and of widows and orphans, he conlri scarcely have been more attentive to their interests. He accepted the care of states and.

watched over the education 01 jonth with fatherly sympathy. Be was patriarchal in his breadth, aim ity, coiii teoun Integrity, and in the grase ur 1 oepi'allty. Had he lived in the days of A I ram he would have been of 'he number ot those great ones who were permitted to en teitain the angels. His personal manner was remaikabln for its delicacy and refine roi whether In his own house or on public occasiors, for it was always the same it' rarely equaled and ver to be surpassed in its engaging sincerity, Its extreme rfldenee and courtly "propriety; towards quests, or tbe workmen sitting at bis ble, crXo hi a ei van is at a log raising, his iiiiw wks viiifi'To; nu matter how munh" u. it he in! tht be, if a child entered the 1 room it waa always received with a smile ana an extended hand.

On the ooeasion ot Introducing Gen. Taylor, then President elect, to a reception given him at Woodville, this noble and inimitable bearing of self oblivion was most conspicuous. On the return home one of his servants exclaimed. Others may have seen Gen. Taylor, out I only saw master he was so polite and grand." He served for several years In the Legislature of Mississippi and was asked by President Taylor to accept tbe Secretaryship of tbe Treasury, hut he had no fancy for public life.

I dined with Gen. Taylor just before he left Baton Rouge for Washington. He spoke of Judge MoGebee in the highest terms, as the best man he ever knew; that he had known htm lift a drunkard from the road into the buggy, and carry him home. He was a staunch. Whig, was opposed to secession bnt when it resolved upon by bis State he entered heartily Into the support of the war; and at onetime was represented by some thirteen children and grandohlldreu In the Confederate army.

Yet from the beginning ot the war he saw the end with prophetic certainty. At its close a negro regiment came suddenly upon his bouse and gave his family only twenty minutes to leave It. His eldest aughter who was sick In bed was barely removed In time to escape its burning floors, saturated with camphene. xms mansion, jttowuna ureen," wmcn bad long been celebrated for its spacious and generous apartments perished in an hour. It had been the resting plaoe of all the Bishops from the days of Mo Kendree and the headquarters ot all itinerant preachers.

No business or engagement was allowed to Interfere with the offices of its hospitality. When the man of God app a ed of whatever denomination, he was welcomed, and the family and house servants were usually called to prayer. Indeed it seemed as if neighbors and brethren generally, on the way to Woodville from the surrounding country, often calculated upon spending a night at Bowling Green and always found a welcome. Its ruins were never disturbed by Its owner, though he bnilt a second house Just by Its four walls and pillars. They stood as a monument of the great personal Indignity suffered by him at the time of Its destruction.

in his business habits he was systematic, prompt and orderly. His judgment was remarkably clear and sound la financial matters to the very last, and his credit was undisturbed for more than seventy years ot an active business life. He had unusual powers of application and memory and ot taking up the thread of an investigation where it had been left off weeks before. He was very enterprising and capable of managing a great deal of work successfully. He carried on six or seven large plantations at one time, and owned considerably over a thousand servants.

To him the State of Mississippi is indebted for its first railroad and its first cotton factory. As a planter his thrift was indicated in that he always had corn to sell, though in times of much scarcity he sold only to the poor, and at low As a master he was after the apostolio leal. Just, generous, thoughtful, gentle, always equal In manner, he was regarded by his servants with more than filial reverence. The Providence whioh had placed them under his care was to him a problem of constant and momentous Interest. Ha at one time thought seriously of going himself to Africa that he might there super Intend a colony of his own servants planted by himself.

It was this personal relation to the s'ave that made him so early and strong a supporter of the colonization scheme. His servants were aflorded every opportunity which the laws of the State permitted for their religious and social improvement and at the breaking out of tre war were all of them at the highest point of civilization and of intellectual and spiritual enlightenment ever known to them or their anoeetry during the past two hundred years. The events of the war brought to him, as well as to the whole planting interests of tbe South, the social and Industrial relief which had long been wished for. but which could not possibly have been foreseen as dirt ctly at hand specially as a result upon the sheer force of war and its violent disregard of all rights, civil, social and moral. At its olose four million of slaves became reedmen but there lay on the battlefield one million of white men, men of the South and of the North, slain by each other, thousands of whom were among the noblest of our rtlce.

as tbe terrible price of this fierce and vaunted philanthropy. Judge McGehee's own family was a large one. He had been married three times, and was himself the last survivor of thirteen children. His brothers Abner John and William were all of them successful planters in Mississippi and Alabama. He at first settled on Thompson's Creek, and from there removed to the neighborhood of Woodville.

Seven of his children and many of his grandchildren still survive him. During all his life his family altar was maintained with scrupulous regularity; one or two of his most honored servants were sometimes called upon by him after tbe lesson to offer tbe prayer. He was profoundly spiritual, a man of much devotion and private meditation. Often he could have been seen at eventide walking alone and communing with God in the grand forest of oaks and birches which constituted the most attractive feature of Bowling Green. He was fond of singing and punctual in his attendance upon all the means of grace pnbllo and social until bis growing lnflrmluea confined him to the the 15th of August he took his bed and gradually one tie after another was loosened until he quietly breathed his last a painless death.

80 fades a summer cloud away So sinks the gale when storms are o'er; So gently shnts the eye of day 80 dies a ave along the shore." Believing in his Savior he "never saw death." His son, Mlcajan, was nursing him in his last illness, when he was suddenly seized with a congestive chill and died. When the Jndge inquired after his beloved son.it was told him that "Mtesjah would never suffer any more." Oh," exclaimed be, then my heart la broken, let me go." He longed to be at rest. "lam weary and said he; "I am called, I am called and must go." The battle with him was over and he greatly desired to see that Redeemer In whose fellowship he had so long delighted. A mighty Prince in Israel has fallen a noble Chieftain has him gathered to his people." I heard a voioe from heaven crying onto me write: Blessed are the dead that die henceforth yea. salts the Spirit, that they may rest from their labors and their works do follow them." All of them honor him and reverence the memory of his lofty virtues.

His children they arise up and call hi in blessed." From the contagions nature of example, whether for good or evil, there Is scarcely a limit to the influence of suob a life upon tbe State where he lived, noon his country, his household, his children, his acquaintances as some balmy, beautiful flower growing high up on the mountain sides, tbe winds of heaven waft its seed down the steeps, until it spreads over all the plain so is It with a good life in exalted position. The unsullied ray of a pure Chris 'ian life shining all around upon every person, during a long period ot active intercourse with men, which wonld accept nothing from executive gift, and sought nothing from popular favor wblch handled money with not loving It, and rose to wealth without desiring It which knew no difference between the poor and the rioh, the high and the low, bnt only between the good and the only less than the visit of an angel of God. It drew to Itself many noble solrita, and such men as Dr. Winans, Benj. Drake.

John Lane and Thomas Clinton, snared his counsel and had equal access to bis house and his heart. It was indeed as a blessing from the Lord to have been his bosom friend, as a heavenly benefaction, to nave rested with him for a night, and to have merely oarrled a note and delivered it, and caught the impression of uoh a presence, was to the nng scarcely less than a benediction.

MoClellan addressed a large Democratic mass meeting at Oswego, N. Saturday. Among other things he said The war for the Union, so far aa the crack of the rifle is concerned, was decided over fifteen years ago. Otherwise, unfortunately, It is not finished. One party has sought to keep no sectional animosities and to widen rather than to close the chasm be tween tbe North and the South.

The question now is, what kind of a Union is this to be 1 on the one hand love, fraternal feeling and common Interest; on the other hand a Union of force, where sectional animosity is still rife. The question is to be settled this fall. Too many men place their party ahead of their country. This is the attitude of the Republican party. To the Democratic party we owe the acquisition of territory and the.

legislation whioh has made our country what it now Is the home of countless millions." On the question ot the solid South. Gen. MoClellan said when the pressure that had made her solid is removed she will divide on living questions, and there will be no more solid South. He did not wish the success of the Democratic party, to depend on the solidity of any section, bnt to rest on a majority in all eeotlons. As to the cry that tbe Democratic party will destroy, the industries of the country, (he said the Democratic party had been in power five years and baa not Impaired or ruined any industry.

The tariff ought not to be a party Issue. Oar people are averse to direct taxation, but the tariff necessary to provide for payment of the pnbllo debt is so great that it it necessarily protective. The tariff question, affects sections, anc those sections will send a protectionist 01 free trader to Congress, be he Democrat 01 Republican, according as they think theli interests dictate. Centralization of powei Is the most important feature in this oanJ vass. The power of the Government has been found sufficient to settle all internal difficulties and to put down the great rebellion, and he did not see what a strong gov eminent is wanted for unless to pat down the people.
