EL, Oct. Robert T. Lincoln passed through this City at 1 o'clock today en route to Mattoon, where he spoke today. An immense crowd 88- (quailed at the depot to greet him when the train arrived, and when he showed himself on the platform the people loudly cheered him and cannon were fired. During the stoppage of the train hundreds shook hands with the son of our martyred President.

In his bhort speech he thanked the people for their kindly greeting, which be attributed to the warm feeling entertained for his fathar. who no doubt was wed known years ago by many present here today. A very pleasing incident occurred during the handshaking. The old veteran Dennis F. Hanks, now 85 years of age, and cousin of the Secretary's father, and who first taught him (Abraham Lincoln) how to read and write, pusned ins way through the crowd and shook hands with "Bob," as he calls him, and asked him if he knew him.

"0, yes," said the Seer et ary, who bad not seen him since he was a youth, "1 know you and I am exceedingly glad to meet you." It would have been a great aid to the Republican cause In this State if the young Secretary could have come to Illinois and spoken to the people earlier in the campaign.

The ilre originated from a lamp which an employil dropped just after igniting the wick. The fames communicated with some oil and grease which were scattered on the floor of the shop and spread with great rapidity. Before the department arrived the fire had gained much headway.

and desnite the efforts of the firemen the conflagration grew in strength and totally destroyed the works and a large amount of wire. Two emplopls names J. E.

Yes," said the first speaker, and Pulitzer's district has the largeA Irish constituency of any district in the Union. That's Just why I say he must be beaten. A few days ago Pulitzer's newspaper in this city, under and. by virtue of an order front that gentleman, offered a direct insuit to every Irish voter in this city, and they intend to resent it by calling on their fellow-countrymen in New York to defeat Pulitzer tor Congress.

As is well known. the Irishmen of the Eighth District of Missouri are supporting John Grogan for Congress. He is a representative Irishman, and is receiving the united support of the Irish voters of the district. The Post-Dispatch, Pulitzer's St. Louis organ, has on several occasions attacked Mr.

Grogan and his constituents unfairly, but the straw that broke the camel's back was an editorial in that paper the other day calling Mr. Grogan a dynamiter and characterizing his friends as men of the same type. When a committee of Irishmen called at the office to ask a retraction they were ordered'out of the office by the editor in charge. They remained there lonr enough, however, to inform Mr. Pulitzer's agent that they would transfer the tight to the Ninth District of New York.

The Irish leaders in New York have been notified that Pulitzer must and a committee will leave here tomorrow for that city, to remain until the tight against the editor is well under way. Let me repeat, Pulitzer will be beaten." OHIO. THE MAJORITIES FOR, CONGRESSMEN. C0Lumars, Oct. table has just been prepared at Republidan State headquarters showing the majorities for Congresstned by districts.

The official vote from Hamilton, whien has just been received, increases the majority quite materially. The table is as follows, an is believed to be correct, having been taken the official abstracts now in the Secretary ot State's office in most counties and by tolt-grspli from the official abstracts in other counties: f. 17. 1 THE PAPERMAIKERS. THEIR PROTEST AGAINST THE POREION RAGS QUARANTINE.

NEW YORK, Oct. 150 papermakers, representing the Eastern division of the American Papermakers Association, met today and protested against the three-months' Government embargo on the importation of rags. The meeting was called to see if the members of the associatioir favored any action which will be of any benefit to the trade in the present unsettled state of the rag and paper market, caused by a sharp advance in stock and a small proportionate advance in paper." William H. Parsons of this city, President of the association, said that the action of the Treasury Department bad increased the price of rags from 30 to 50 per cent. He had written personally to Acting-Secretary Coon, and had been unable to get even an opluion as to whether the prohibition would continue longer than Dec.

1 next or not. It had not been shown, be claimed. that cholera or other contagious diseases had ever been spread by imported rags. Augustine Smith of this city said that the prohibitory order of the Treasury Department bad been a great injury to the papermakers and publishers in this country. People have been lead to believe, Mr.

Smith argued, that there was absolute danger in importing toreign rags, while as a matter of fact there is no danger at all. lie offered a resolution, which was unanimously adopted, calling for a committee of three, who should nominate a committee of eve to take whatever action in the matter they considered beneficial to the association. William H. Parsons, President of the association; D. V.

Crocker, Secretary; Senator Warner Miller of this State; the lions. NVilliant Whitney and William A. Russell, both of Massachusetts, were appointed a permanent committee with instructions to draw upon the association for necessary funds. Mr. Augustus Smith said that extended correspondence with paper manufacturers in Great Britain bad brought replies that infectious diseases bad never been spread by rags brought to the mills.

Mr. Wellington Smith said that the Treasury Department had acted without informing itself. The question now was not simply one of raising the price of paper, but of wholly sbuttuag down trade until the embargo was removea. W. It.

Sheffield, a manufacturer in Saugerties, this I-24ate, offered a resolution that the manufacturers curtail their production to 50 per cent of their output, and that the details be sent to the different divisions for arrangement. This met with some opposition, as it would injure manufacturers who did not use rags at all in making their paper. It was explained that the resolution was not authoritative, but simply voiced the sentiment of the meeting with regard to manufacturers using rags. The resolution was carried, and the special meeting adjourned to await the action tit the committee. CASSIUS lit CLAY.

AN ENCOURAGING OUTLOOK IN THE SOUTH HIS FORECAST OF THE RESULT IN INDIANA. BUFFALO, N. Oct. 22.LSpecia1.1The Hon. Cassius M.

Clay of Kentucky, nephew of the great Henry Clay, spoke in this city tonight to one of the finest audiences of the campaign. Of Ohio Mr. Clay said: I consider the 19,000 majority cast in the Congressional race the true test of our majority. I think Ohio will give 10.000 more majority in November than in October. Of Indiana he said: "I canvassed Indiana In 1860 for Lincoln.

and helped carry it over the Democrats. I have made fifteen Ppeeches there during thia campaign. I have had a chance to see their enthusiasm. and I think I can speak as intelligently about the politics of that State as any one. The reasons why I think the Republicans will carry Indiana are, first, because Indiana has adopted and carried out since 1860 a spl id common-school system.

Education destroys Democrats. Second, Mr. lieu inckse War record is extremely obnoxious to all the pathetic and soldierly element in Indiana, and Weans he has in his own person so long stood in the way of Defter men in keeping them from the front men like Holman and McDonaldit would hardly be expected that those men and their friends would give him a very cordial support, and I understand they do not. Third, Indiana has Only begun, but is widely increasing, her manufacturing interests. and they have sense enough out there to see that free trade wouid be the ruin of all American manufacturing industries, and this is believed to be the real cause why Hancock was slaughtered in Indiana in the last race." A Large Cooper-Shop Burned.

PEORIA IiL Oct. cooper-shop, in the lower end of the city, was destroyed by lire tonight. The establishment was an extensive one, employing about eighty bands, and was well filled up with finished work. The loss is estimated at $25.000. and the insurance at $20,000.

A DEMOCRATIC CONFERENCE. COLUMBUS, Oct. officers and members of the Democratic state and county committees held a conference here today to devise ways and means for deciding to prosecute the campaign for November. D.OBERT T. LINCOLN.

A GREAT DEMONSTRATION AT MATTOON. MATTOON, Ill" Oct. Republicans were delighted to gee the weather cleer up this morning, 'flaking possible the great demonstration which been arranged for today in honor of Robert T. Lincoln, Secretary of War. Although It bad rained in tor-routs all last night and the roads were still utuddy, early in the day wagon-loads of people came pourtug In from the country.

By noon special trains had added their ear-loads to the, throngs. At midday Mattoon had within its limits the largest crowd ever kuown in the city. It is estimated that there were at least. 15,000 people on the streets. This is a remarkable throng, coneidering the discouragement of the heavy rains and the cool weather.

At 1 o'clock Secretary Lincoln arrived from Indianapolis. Stepping from the train be was loudly called upon for a speech, but he excused himself until later. Gov. Hamilton and Constesaman Cannon had already arrived. THE PROCESSION.

At 2 o'clock the procession commenced to move along Broadway towards the speakers' stand In the city park. At the head was the Tuscola broom-brigade, numbermg fifty young ladles, dressed In white, carry-lug brooms, and walking through the mud. Mattoon furnished thirty-eight ladies, mounted on horseback, and each escorted by a Plumed Knight. There were. the usual number of wagons containing loads of girls to represent the States.

A score of bands and drum corns tilled the air with martial music. There were 500 horsemen In line, besides numerous clubs of Plumed Knights following afoot. Business-houses and private dwellings along the line of march were decorated with fine el-feet. The enthusiasm along the line of march was unbounded. The people seemed to be wild with A proposal for a cheer for Blaine and Logan would be answered by a chorus of voices that drowned the noise of the bands.

At the park the speakers' stand was decorated with nags and streamers. Conspicuous were the pictures of Lincoln, Grant, Gartield, Blaine, and Logan. As the Secretary stepped upon the platform he was received with great applause. Many of those present were beard to say that they were repaid for coming Just by seeing the son of Abraham Lincoln. Frequent' ly, as Ito made a good point, the remark would be beard; "That's like Old Abe.

He spoke for two hours and was listeued to with the closest of attention. The general impression of those who beard his speech is that it was a very able one. But the speaker did not need to deliver an able speecn in order to secure respectful attention. The spirit of Abraham Lincoln was in the meeting. and the words coming from the son would have been listened to closely because of the father, if for no other reason.

The speaker made no attempt at oratorical flights, but be presented leas, drawing his deductions logically, and appealing to the judgment and reason of his hearers. THE SECRETARY'S SPEECH. Ile began his speech by saying that it gave him great 'pleasure to deliver ibis his tirst speech in the canvass in the Very community in which his father had found his first home in Illinois. He did not propose to contrast the party platforms at length. The promises contained in the Democratic platform, with the exception or the tariff.were belied by the history of the party.

The Republicans have been the leaders upon every important question for years, and now the only course left for the Democrats Is to fail back on the attractive cry of reform, and claim that the Republican party is honeycombed by corruption. This claim was audacious, in the face of the fact that the figures of the public records how the relative honesty of the two parties. In Pierce's and Buchanan's Administrations $3.86 out of every banditti was stolen, while in twenty-five years. during which time the Republican officials have bandied thousands of millions. only an average of 50 cents to the have been taken die-honestly.

In the War Department. for the past four years, but three officials have been found faithless to flnancial trusts, and one of tnese bad been vigorously prosecuted and inexorably punished, but every cent of deficiency had been made good before their trials had commenced. If the "honeycombing by corruption be juaged by facts instead of the loudnsits of vituperation, the verdict of the people as to the relative honesty of the two parties cannot be unfavorable to the Republicans. FACTS rots THE VETERANS. Three-fourths of the Democratic Electoral votes are to come from the South.

With this In view, we should remember what the platforms say about the soldier. The Republicans pledge themselves to care for the mained and disabled Union soldier. The Democrats say Mae the Internal revenue must be kept sacred to care for the worthy soldiers who lave fought in the wars of the Republic." "De they mean pension We Rebel Itries of Every Rebel is a worthy Soldier in the eyes of those men who control the Democratic caucus that shapes the legislation of a Democratic Congress. Does the Democratic party's pledges of honesty compare tavorably? hi eleven Southern States, trom which will come 107 Cleveland Electoral votes, since the War State debts, out of $265,000,000, have been repudiated, and the promise made to raY the rest is about as good as the ern. Is the Democratic party, then, to be trusted rather than the Republican? It is safer to keep the party in power that found a National debt of in 1865, has since paid $2,000,000,000 interest, reduced the principal one-half, and established for tne country a credit that cannot be surpassed by that of any other Nation on the globe.

BALLOT-BOX FRAUDS. STATE-ATTORNEY MILLS. State-Attorney Mills, the next speaker was received very cordially. Ho said he was not present bevause he was a candidate, but cause he was a Republican. The meeting was called by the Scandinavians, yet any speaker who appealed to national prejudices was a political trickster.

The time was come to decide between the two great parties. The same tests must be applied to parties as to men. The first great test was the past and what they had done. He then traced the origin of the Republican party, born of the demands of humanity and not ny the efforts of politicians to the War, and the attempts of the Democrats to block its career at every step of that great struggle. Ills hearers should not forget history.

It was an inspiration of the present aud the future. In the history of the Dentocratie varty there were but three ideas slavery, rebellion. and tree trade. Their organization was -but a combination of poli ticians. At their convention a man was nominated because he was an accident, because be was elected Governor of a Republican State.

On the contrary, the Republicans listened to the choice or the great people in the peerless, the brave, and the magnificent Blaine, who was hated by foes and slandered by cowards. By the people be was loved as Lincoln and Garfield were before him. In conclusion Mr. Mills warned bis hearers of the "dark-ailey tricks of the Democrats, and asked them Jo be at the polls to do their duty in standing firm for the purity of the ballots box. If the honest citizens stood together the county would give the Republican ticket 10,000 majority and the State 40,000.

During Mr. Mills' speech the Seventeenth Ward Swedish Blaine and Logan Club, 350 strong, arrived, the band playing lilarching Through Georgia as the club took seats in the gallery. The club made a tine appearance. a. A.

E'NANDER. J. A. Enander was the next speaker. The time was come to give the Democrats such a drubbing as they had rover had before.

Ohl3 showed how the tide was turning. In the late Congress the party never did a good thing. The speecn was liberally applauded throughout. Music by the band and glee club followed. During the singing the Swedish Blaine and Logan Club of the Fifth Ward marched into the hall to the music of a line band.

Continued cheering greeted the HENRY L. HERTZ. Henry L. Hertz Congratulated the audience upon the enthusiasm shown by the Scandinavians in the Republican cause. Though he said he was not a public orator like the preceding speakers he thought be was capable of administering the office of Coroner faithfully and in a manner satisfactory to the people of Cook County.

Ho referred to the alleged Scandinavian Democratic meeting at urora Turner-Halt, where not one-twentieth as many Scandinavians were present as were before hint. Not one-half 'were Swedes, and half of them were Republicans. Carter Harrison was mentioned as one of the speakers that night. Hisses. Harrison claimed to be a Swede, but he had evidently forgotten the language, for, while a Swede speaker said be was a Democrat because that party favored free trade, Harrison said the party favored protection.

If be had understood Swedish, be would not have made such a break." To judge from the applause. the speaker said, it was evidently useless to advise his hearers bow to vote. The ticandinaviana by this great meeting were shown to be for the Republican ticket from top to bottom. C. JP PETTERSON.

C. P. Petterson followed Mr. Hertz. Ile said be was not so proud of beta born in the Hight North as of being a citizen of the United a Nation which kept its thumb on the pulse at the centuries.

Alter a vigorous speech on the Issues of the campaign he advised his countrymen to cast their votes for the best interests of their adopted Republic. Henry S. Boutell, candidate for the Lower House from the Sixth District, was loudly called tor. On responding he denounced the Democratic attempts to prevent a free ballot. The Democratic platform represented no principle but public vuuder.

NEW YORK, Oct 22.LSpeciall--One of the consulting oculists of the Mount Sinai Hospital had occasion to perform an operation for the removal of a mature cataract in the capsule of a woman's eye. He bad learned, some time ago, the remarkable properties of hydrochlorate of cocoaine, which were discovered by a Heidelberg student while experimenting with cocoa. His discovery was that this drug dropped into the eye would render it insensible to feeling.

This material the Mount Sinai surgeon, knowing that it bad already been successfully used as a local anfesthetic, used on the eyes of his patient, and the operation was performed without her sneerinz any pain whatever. Today She Is doing well, and the operation was regarded as thoroughly successful. The new anatsthetio deadens the nerves, but does not injure them nor the surrounding skin. Theodore Hadel, Superintendent of the hospital, said today that it was not yet known whether it would act on other portions of the body as it did on the eyes. Itq general use, he thought, would be prevented by its cost.

The price at present is $5,000 per pound. It Other Fires. WABASH, Oct. 22.Specia1.1---Green Norse' grocery-house in this city burned this morning. The loss on goods is over $1,500 and on the building $1,000, with a total insurance of $1,500 in the Northwestern Mutual of Milwaukee.

FIVE HUNDRED AND TWENTT-SEVEN OF THEM INVITE GEN. LOGAN TO VISIT HARRISONBURG, PROMISING TO CAST THEIR FIRST REPUBLICAN VOTES THIS FALL. HARRISONBURG, Oct.

18.If anybody has any doubt that the Republican party is making progress in Virginia the following invitation to Gen. Logan, signed by 527 Confederate soldiers who will cast their first Republican ballots this year will probably dispel it. The petition was circulated by the soldiers themselves, and has been signed only by residents of Rockingham County. It is a tribute of brave foes to the commander of an equally brave foe, now happily united as friends. It will show th0 people of the North more plainly than anything else can that the War is over, at least in the Shenandoah Valley, a spot where It once raged fiercest If Gen.

Logan accepts this cordial invitation thus tendered he will certainly be welcomed by one of the largest meetings be has yet addressed, and among his most enthusiastic listeners will be not only the 527 soldiers whose names are signed to this petition, but hundreds of others from this and adjoining counties. The petition is as follows: HARRISONBURG, October, 18534To the lion. John A. Looan: We the undersigned, citizens of Rockingham County, having been durini the recent Civil War soldiers in the Confederate army, and not one of us having ever cast a Republican ballot in a National contest, and intending to vote Nov. 4 nest for James G.

Blaine for President of the United States, and you for Vice-President of the United States, respectfully request that you deliver an address on the political situation in the Town of Harrisonburg, at such date this month as shall best suit your convenience. We promise you a large attendance and respectful hearing. recognizing in you, as we do, a brave and chivalrous foe in time of war, and a statesman worthy our support in time of peace. The following is Capt. Ralston's letter of invitation, transmitting the petition: HARRISONBURG, Oct.

John A. LoganDEAR Sin: I herewith transmit you an invitation from 527 Confederate soldiers to address the people of the great Shenandoah Valley at this point some day between this and the election. The invitation is signed by none but Confederate soldiers who will the 4th day of November, 1864, east their first Republican votes. This list by no means represents a close canvass of the county, but was gotten up hastily. S'ome of the papers with signatures have not been returned.

The soldiers of adjoining counties would readily have joined in this invitation had they been asked. The signers of this invitatiqn are, I assure you true and tried men, heroes under Stonewall Jackson, Jeb Stuart. and other immortal Southern leaders. It is an invitation from brave men to a brave commander of their aloretime enemies. I sincerely trust it will be your pleasure to comply with their request.

McPherson, Secretary of the Republican Committee, received a letter this morning which gives an insight into the temper of the Democrats in Copia!) County prior to tht, recent acts of violence there. The letter, which was from Mr. Yellow ly, the Republican candidate for Congress in that district, one of the most reputable men in Mississippi, is as follows: HAZELHCRST, Copiab Co" Oct The lion. Edward McPherson, Washinat 3n DEAR Sin: I am now going over my district a second time. My meetings are well I am very much encouraged.

I think now Isball defeat Mr. Barksdale if I can get anything like a fair count. My greatest difficulty is this county. The Republicans are very much intimidated, and I doubt if we can persuade them to come out to the polls. The Matthews murder and other occurrences of last year are fresh in their minds and they fear violence.

1 spoke here today to a faircrowd, and the people are anxious to vole, but they are in constant apprehension of trouble. Now I would like to have your advice in reference to this. I can beat Barksdale without this county with anything like a -lair count. Do you think it would be well for me to try to get a full vote in this county, or is it best, on account of the terrorism existing, to advise our followers not to vote at all? Since I began my letter have left Hazelhurt and cline up to Crystal Springs, where I speak tonight. Telegraph me, as on receipt of this, and oblige yours, very truly, J.

B. YELLOWLT. was at the Crystal Springs meeting that the violence occurred. J. B.

Y. Mr. McPherson is advised that In the Sixth District, where the Hon. John R. Lynch is the candidate, things are in almost as deplorable a condition.

This district embraces a portion of tbe old "Shoestring district. and the Republican majority is 18,000, yet with the Winchester rifle the Bourbons propose to carry the district. It looks now as though there would be few Blaine and Logan ballots vast in several of the Mississippi counties next November. FINANCIAL. JOSEPH MOSES BEHRENDT.

Col. Buell Indulges In the Luxury of Bigamy and Is Indicted. Business Troubles in Chicago. A bill was filed in the Superior Court yesterday by John Taylor Davies of Liverpool, against his partner, John Arthur Atkinson, to wind up the affairs of the firm of Davies, Atkinson Co. Davies says that the 20th of July, 1880, be and Atkinson went into the packing and provision business together under the above name and have carried it on ever since.

Davies furnished all the money and Atkilson was only interested as far as regards a share of the protits. The latter was not to buy, sell, or speculate with the firm assets, nor engage in any speculations or business venture on his own account. Davies now charges that Atkinson has been entering int gambling contracts on the Board of Trade. ordinarily known as option deals, and since the 1st of August last has drawn over e27.000 of the firtn's funds and used it for his private ape culations. since the partnership was formed be has appropriated about $200,000 in this way, which be is utterly unable to replace, as he is Insolvent.

Since the 4th lust. Atkinson ha a not paid any attention to the firm business, and it is still unsettled and in a bad condition. Davies accordingly wants a receiver appointed who will save what remains, pay the outstanding liabilities, and band over to him whatever re. mains. An application was at once made to Judge Gardner, and Robert Y.

Ilebden was appointed receiver under a bond of $100,000. Peter Peterson, publisher of Der Aye TO, a Danish weekly paper, made an assignment to James W. Twohy yesterday for the benefit of his creditors.

Wright.

Weigley for $126 and A. D.

Custard for $1,89. About a year ago the erm were burned out, and have been barely struggling along in business ever since. The claims upon which the levy was made are over a year old, the holders of the judgment notes not desiring to press their claims on account of the reverses the firm had suffered on account of the fire. Yesterday, however, the firm declared that they were unable to meet their paper on account of dullness in trade and gave their consent to the entering of judgment against themselves. Vick' liabilities will possibly amount to more than $5,000, while their assetS, consisting principally of machinery and fixtures, will not bring' $3,000.

They had no lumber of any consequence on hand when the levy was made. David B. Cooke. David B. Cooke, well known tor many years es a bookseller and publisher in Chicago, died Tuesday, in the 59th year of his age.

He made Mrs. Ross many valuable presents, among them what she then supposed to be valuable diamonds, but which she has since discovered to be paste.

They went to New York, and thence sailed for England, returning to New York Sept. 20. Mrs. Buell came direct to this city. Her husband, whom she lett behind to follow her a few days later, has not been seen or heard ot since.

This amount was of course to be repaid viten the moneys making up the subsidy should come due.

A lively debate between Mr. Mapleson's friends In the board followed, and at one time it looked as though a few of the impresario's admirers would Join bands and subscribe the sum required. It is understood, however, that one of the opponents of this action urged that if the tilimod asked for was sent to Europe it would only meet Mme. Patti's exactions for three representations, and, atter these bad occurred, it was feared that the stockholders would have to come forward once more under penaltycf silencing the songbird. The result of this view of the matter was a cable dispatch to Mr.

22.Gen. Butler arrived bere from his Western trip at 8:30 p. m. and immediately took a special train for South Braintree, where he addressed a lame audience in the town-ball. Gen.

Butler's speech was of the same tenor as those tie has previously made. The Democrats in their platform announce. With due so.etnnity, that they believe in a free ballot and a air count. If they would only rye it to us there would be no need of speechmaking in the North. The campaign would be a waik-over for the Republicans.

In sieven Ftates that voted for Grant in 1872 we have no hope today because the Republicans of those Etates remember the fate of Mathews at tordah. they remember that Dickson vim defeated at Yazoo by one ballot in the form of a bullet in his heart fired by bis Democratic opponent. They reraember the massacre at Colfax, the butcheries at Dan-and a thousand other scenes of violence that have made elections in the Solid Enutil a farce for the last fifteen or twenty Mrs. A tree ballot and a fair count are wanted but the Democratic party cannot be trusted to give them to us.
