AN A CURIOUS PROBLEM. Amid the excitement of local and politics, when "Nominating Conventions" the order of the day, it is apt to be forgotten that there are sundry other Conventions, nically called free," which ought to some small consideration from the thoughtful mind. Such a one was that held at. Collins, Erie County, in this State, a few since, whereat congregated the Friends Human Progress," as they denominate selves, viz: Free Lovers, Spiritualists, Woman's Rights people and the like disciples of new heterodox theories. These individuals may be, emphatically nominated iconoclasts.

They respect nothing venerable and accept nothing received. would overturn established things as medium" among them would overturn table. They are against unions -especially the two most important of unions, alluded by G. P. Morris i in his poem union of hearts-the union of, In regard to women, they advocate a theory which, no matter how they may state sounds so very much like organized prostitution that most people, no how unprejudiced they may be, shake their heads at it.

religious matters they speak rather commendingly of Jesus Christ, but on the whole, as is phrased by a journal which was once rather strongly inclined to favor them, they hardly consider him up to the mark of the wisdom and knowledge of this enlightened XIX tury. The query is and we have cogitated it ten without coming to any definite conclusion -what is to come out of this curious movement All great movements have had their origin in small religions have commenced humbly, "where two or three have gathered together." Can it be that these heterogenous elements are destined to. coalesce at some period, distant or near, matters not, and form a grand Heresy in religion and morals which shall number in ranke millions of souls Unquestionably course of popular thought and of popular literattre, which is the exponent of that thought, are not far from favoring the idea. Tlose people certainly have one of the secrets of the successful propagation of their peculiar. views agitate agitate! They do this to admiration- could it be otherwise when they admit into their ranks the female element? Depend upon it that this last will "tell," one of these THE -On Saturday Mayors Tie- mann and Powell, and a large party, visited the West Bank for the purpose of surveying it, with a view to erecting quarantine facilities thereon.

A plan, was submitted to them for building a pier and breakwater and warehouse for storing cargoes of infected vessels, the cost of which would be from $500,000 to $750,000. Attention is being called to a plan suggested some years ago by Dr. Bell of this city, to dispense with the ordinary, quarantine system altogether, by the erection of large warehouses, alongside of which yellow fever ships should discharge their cargoes and reload there for any other port they might wish to go. Cotton, or whatever cargoes they might have engaged, should be sent down to them in steam freight boats, the rates to be fixed by the Chamber of Commerce, and not by a health, officer. Thus the vessels would be at once set free, and one of the gravest evils of.

our Quar-, antine, the ruinous detention of vessels, abolished. So far as we can judge, this plan obviates the disadvantages and abuses of the present system, and a trial of it would be the most feasible mode of relieving us from the dilemma we are placed in by the destruction of the Staten Island establishment, CoOL. -A correspondent of the New York Times suggests that as the jurisdiction of that city extends to low water mark on the Long Island shore, "the principal part, if not all, of the piers, wharves and warehouses" of this city, belong to New York, and should be assessed and taxed therein. This demand is even more monstrous than that of exclusive juris-1 diction over the ferries, claimed by New York, and which our Common Council, on the motion of Ald. Pierson, some time ago resolved to test by law.

By the bye, what bas become of that resolve. Has it been forgotten, or has New York influence killed it Ald. Pierson might well revive that subject, and with it have this other assumption For our part, we do not believe that the Courts, would hold that a monarchical charter, granted to New York city centuries ago, is of auy force now, or that New York could maintain at law the assumptions which she bases on them. THE FREE LOVE CONVENTION. -The author of the laughable resolutions ridiculing the action of this Convention, and ignominiously laid on the table by the Convention, was not Mr.

Heath, but Mr. Samuel B. Higenbotam, of this city. It seems that Mr. Higenbotam, Mr.

Heath, and a party from this district, were on a bunting excursion, and dropped in at the Convention when the former "sold" the august body by presenting his resolutions. The reporters, however, got hold of Mr. Heath's name, and presented it to the public instead of that of his companion. SENATOR -A friend who bas attended some half dozen or more of meetings in various parts of Illinois where Senator Douglas has addressed the people, and who, therefore, may be regarded as having some knowledge on the subject, is confident that the "Little Giant" will be successful in the contest in which he is now engaged. He states that at St.

Louis odds are readily wagered in his favor. PHLEBOTOMY, There will be a good deal of practice in this art displayed between now and the election. The candidates for office will be the patients, and the "striking' fraternity will be the operators. We could point to men of this genus who are proficients in the art of and, whose operations would put the leeches to the blush. THE DEMOCRATIO PRIMARIES- -THE WAR OF THE Roses.

Pursuant to the direction of the Vanderbilt and Bradley Standing Committees, their respective supporters in the wards and towns of the City of Brooklyn and County of Kings assembled last evening at their favorite places of meeting- -the former between the hours of 5 and 7, the latter' between 6 and 8-and elected delegates to County, Congressional and Assembly Nominating Conventions. This separation of the rival factions works well in several respects -it has a happy effect on the public peace and prevents that vile practice of stuffing of ballot boxes which is certain to be resorted to when each side assembles at the same time and place, and attempts to vote the other down. So far as we have heard, the elections were unattended by any disturbances. At each place of meeting some excitement was noticeable in the desire to poll as many votes as possible, so that each might claim to represent the majority of the party, but nothing of note ocourred. We have not taken the trouble to procure lists of the delegates elected, because in the main such lists would be uninteresting, and besides before our paper goes to 1 press some of the Conventions will have met and finished up their business- -there being a sort of scrub moe to see which shall enter the field first with their nominations, and thus throw the onus of rejecting or confirming the ticket on the Convention which assembles Thus far the Vanderbilt men have managed to take the lead.

In the 13th ward Mr. Samuel K. Hoggett's name heads the County ticket of the Bradley men, and also stands second on the list of Congressional Nominators. We have beard it said that Sam 'is quite' open in his denunciations of Wm. B.

Maclay, whom he regards as a base ingrate' in not having secured him, (Sam) a situation in the Custom House. Maclay, however, has set his heart upon procuring a renomination, and if he finds Sam's opposition is likely to endanger his prospects he will find means to quiet him. We have heard of the Honorable Bill giving" to obscure gentlemen, formerly of the Emerald Isle, gold watches with their names neatly engraved on the 1 innor case, in order to silence their rebellious tongues, and of such marked" generosity having had the most sedative effect on its recipieat. Mr. Maclay will get the nominationnever fear.

The delegates from the 18th, 14th, 15th and 16th Warde of this city to the Vth Congressional Republican Nominating Convention, assembled for conference at the Odeon last evening. It was determined to appear at the Convention with six delegates from each ward, of twenty- in all, being the same number to' be elected in the 7th and 13th Wards of New York to-night. A poll was taken, when it was found that every person present was in favor of the nomination of Charles M. Briggs, and confident hopes of his election were expressed, in case he should receive the nomination, as we have now strong reasons for believing he will, neither of the New York Wards having a candidate whom they are very desirous of pressing upon the Convention. If Mr.

Briggs can command the support of the entire opposition his election is a matter of certainty. per The Corporation unsel gives notice in another column that he will apply to the Supreme Court on the 1st of October for the appointment of three Commissioners to estimate and assess the expense of opening Third and Fourth streets in this district. There are quite a number of persons who are desirous of serving on this We trust that Mr. Johnson will scrutinize the claims of applicants and give us upright, capable and disinterested men." The opening of these streets is a consummation devoutly to be wished and much, very much depends upon the commissioners whether it shall be perfected now or years hence. WHOLESALE METAMORPHOSES -A striking instance of the unreliability of the news given to the public in: the New York papers under the head of "Brooklyn Items," occurs this morning.

EVERY NAME from one of the up town Wards is so completely transmogrified, that the originals could never recognise themselves, Malcomson" for Williamson for Ranney, and shades of the Supervisors for Rueger And yet we have a few wiseacres among us who neglect our local papers, and fancy they get the pure article in the way of news from the columns of outsiders. SYRACUSE. -We recommend the Free Lovers to hold their next Convention in Syracuse instead of Utica. To judge from the unblushing effrontery with which the most obscene and unlawfal announcements are made in the papers of that city, we should conclude its morals to be on a par with those of Sodom. Hence it would be an appropriate location for Mrs.

Davis, Miss Branch, Parker Pillsbury Co. to ventilate their indecencies in. The East N. Y. Journal states that Mr.

Alois J. Dygert, of the 16th ward, last week met a prisoner named Wickel, just escaped from the Penitentiary, and tried to capture him, when the ruffian stabbed Mr. D. in the arm, but was pursued and captured, and recommitted to prison. Credit is due to Mr.

Dygert for the service he rendered to the administratiop of justice by causing the capture. By the Star we learn that A. J. Spooner is a candidate for Surrogate; but if Geo. Hall is to have the nomination for Register, and C.

W. Thomas, that of County Clerk, the Eastern District will claim the Surrogateship. Mr. Spooner must rest content with drawing $2 a day for doing nothing on the Williamsburgh Improvements Commission. see it announced that Herman Melville is to deliver a lecture descriptive of his South Sea experiences.

There are few men who could do it better, Besides, the personale of the author of "Typee" and "Moby Dick" is so remarkable and get so little known, even among the literati, that the announcement of a lecture from him would be a sure card. The "Astor. House" owns a farm in New Jersey of 234 acres, where 5 50 cows are kept and fresh milk sent to the hotel twice day. The value of the milk is $7500 a year, besides poultry, pigs, fruit, vegetables, REPUBLICAN COUNTY CONVENTION. The Republican County Convention met yesterday afternoon at 170 Joralemon street.

On motion of Mr. Stillwell, Mr. Charles Jones, Chairman of the County Committee, was elected Chairman, and Mr. Wheeler, of the 10th ward and Mr. Stearns, of the 17th, were appointed Secretaries.

The following list of delegates was then compiled from the credentials First Ward A. H. Gale, Russell, John Cashow. Second Ward J. M.

Farrington, Wm. Kasper, D. T. Leverich. Third Ward -Andrew Fitzgerald, B.

The chair pointed Mr. Cole, of the 7th, Mr. Perry, of the 17th, Mr. Stryker, of the 4th, Mr. Strong, of the 18th, and Mr.

Winslow, of New Utrecht. Ex-Ald. Russell moved that the Convention adjourn, subject to the call of the officers, to meet the Museum, Fulton street. Lost by 30 to 20." Mr. Magrath moved to adjourn to meet at the Odeon, Williamsburgh.

-Lost. It was resolved to adjourn to the Museum on the 12th Oct. at 4 p. m. Mr.

A. B. Hodges moved to reconsider this. A. H.

Gale seconded the reconsideration. He said that if they intended to' nominate men, it was well enough to trot them out the day before election; but if they intended to place good men in nomination, they ought not to be afraid to place their names early before the people. Mr. Magrath thought that three weeks was long enough for a man to be before the people as a candidate. The Convention would not nominate Know Nothings, but men who were known in the County, Mr.

Gale did not suppose it would nominate any but Republicans. The motion to reconsider was then voted down by 35 to 21, and the Convention adjourned. SECOND CONGRESSIONAL DISTRICT. NOMINATION MR. OF LITCHFIELD.

The delegates elected at the primaries of the Vanderbilt Committee last night, to the Convention for choosing a candidate for the Second Congressional district, assembled this morning ot the corner of Myrtle and Portland avenues. There was a large attendance of outsiders, and the delegates, as will be seen from the following list, included a great many of the effective politicians of the party. They were sanguine of triumph over the opposing faction, and in conversation outside expresed. themselves as confident of electing the tickets they might nominate. First Ward--Michael Fiannagan, Wm.

Atkinson, John Smith, M. O'Brien. Second Ward -Francis Markey, Jas. Duffy, Wm. Doherty.

Wm. McMullin. Third Ward-Thos. McCarty, F. Gefrey, J.

Nineteenth Ward Jas. Turer, D. Flannery, T. M. Nash, P.

Coyle. Mr. Archer, in the absence of Judge Vanderbilt, Chairman of the County Committee, called the Convention to order. Ex-Ald. Doherty, of the 5th ward, was elected President of the Convention.

Mr. Doherty returned thanks as followsGentlemen of the Convention, accept my thanks for the honor you bave conferred upon me. I am sure I feel it is an honor to preside over a body like that which is here assembled, and I have no doubt that whatever the decision of the Convention may be, it will be such as to give satisfaction to the party at largeit will be such as to secure an almost unanimous approval from the Democrats of the district I will not say unanimous. for unanimity could not be pro: duced between us and a certain clique have long distracted the party. I do not know that it would be quite prudent for me to go into details, but I may say in general terms, that we intend by our action to-day to crush out of the party an influence that in the past has almost succeeded in crushing the party itself.

For that purpose we have come here, to-day, and I have no doubt that we shall secure the election of the candidate whom we may inate. (Lond cheers.) Mr. Leonard, of the 9th ward, was appointed Secretary, and Mr. Giddings, of the 11th, and Mr. Mulligan, of the 6th, as tellers.

On motion of Mr. Murphy, 6th Ward, the Convention then went into an informal ballot for Congressman. The result stood thus J. H. Hutchins.

E. C. B. 8. D.

Morris, Blank, Whole number of .62 On the first formal ballot Mr. Van Voorhis withdrew the name of Judge Morse, and Mr. Markey that of Hon. S. D.

Morris. Mr. Litchfield then received 29 votes and Mr. Hutchins 28. The former was declared the unanimous choice of the Convention.

Mr. Mullio, of the 2nd ward, Mr. McCarty, of the 8d, and Mr. Van Voorhies of the 4th, were appointed a committee to wait on Mr. Litchfield and Van Voorbies, Victory, Cornwell, Mulligan, and 1 Flannagan were pointed a committee to draft resolatione expressive of the sentiments of the Convention relative to national and local politics.

After voting thanks to the officers, the Convention adjourned to await the preparation of the resolutions. The news of the nomination of Mr. Litchfield was received with great enthusiasm by the crowd outside, and a universal feeling was expressed that he was a candidate who would be acceptable to the masses of the party and whose acceptance would reduce the chances of the Hon. George Taylor to zero. The N.

Y. Herald's semi apology for its recent laudation of Taylor was commented upon with high glee, and the approyal expressed by Sheriff Remsen and other leading Democrate on the spot, of Mr. Litchfield'8 nomination, was interpreted as a sure augury of the domination of the Vanderbilt faction over their opponents in the party. The Brady Convention meets at 2 P. M.

this afternoon. Mr. Taylor's friends, it would seem, are resolved to place him in the field at all hazards. Both he and Mr. Litchfield have plenty of the sinews of war at their command, and, itis presumed, will be ready to bleed freely for the advancement of their respective interests.

Ald. Del vecchio was prominent among the outsiders of the Vanderbilt Convention, fixing matters for his appearance before the County Convention- to morrow, 88 a candidate, for Register. )u Several other prominent candidates for county officers and assembly were on hand. We were glad to a find general impression among those with whom we versed, that the fidelity and zealous eervices of Ex Justice Allen to the party, had induced his friends to press his name for County Clerk. We trust this movement may succeed -for Bob, besides being a genial and whole-souled fellow, is possessed of every qualification for the office.

in question. THE COUNTY BUILDINGS- LETTER FROM GENERAL CROOKE. To the Editor of the Daily Times: SIR--My attention, has this day (for the time) been called article in your paper of September 9, led Crooke and the County Hospitals." The whole article is a series of misstate: ments. The writer either has been imposed upon, or wishes to impose on others. I am charged with having been "one of the most active promoters of the design of baving the buildings at Flatbush, deeming them advantage to the neighborhood and likely improve the locality." This is untrue from beginning to end.

The article proceeds thus "Nay, so anxious WAS he to secure their there, that offered to part with presence, land to the county to enable the buildings to be erected upon it." The writer is entirely mistaken -I never offered to sell any land to the county. The Board of Supervisors did offer to buy me (in May or June 1852) a form at Flatlands -on the tide water of Jamaica Bay, for the purpose of locating the County buildings, or some of them, there. This farm was three miles from Flatbush, and the very reason of buying it (as given by the originators of the plan) was to relieve Flatbush from the growing nuisance of County Hospitals and Pest Houses. At that time I not a member of the Board of Supervisors. Your correspondent writes: "I would not willingly asperse the General's motives, but perhaps.

his to sell his disappointment land to the in not having County may have insensibly led him to contract a dislike the institutions, and clamor for their removal." It is more manly to charge openly than to insinuate in that shape. It is grossly unfair thus to fabricate pretended facts which never existed acts which were not enacted- -for purpose of forming a foundation for a dis reputable aspersion. Mr. Editor, "who is your friend PHILIP S. CROOKE.

Sept. 20, 1858. OBITUARY. A just man has passed away. WILLIAM COVERT, one of the old Knickerbocker race of the town of Bushwick, died at 12 of the 20th.

His life is but the parallel of many of that staunch old stock, but there are some points in it worthy of Reared to arduous and constant labor, as a market- truck farmer, he was still able to mark and comprehend the passing events of his own and other countries, and by the aid of his sterling judgment, and acute perception of character, arrive at just conclusions regarding their results. A strong sense of justice pervaded his whole character, and instances might be related in which his own legal interests were sacrificed to his views of justice. His history falsifies the old adage, "that to become rich one must be a rascal," as his large and valuable estate was acquired without the sacrifice of a single principle His property, it is true, acquired its greatest value by the happy accident of position in our great city; yet we have known many 'equally fortunate owners to sacrifice their honor and virtue to increase their store, by unworthy acts. One of the best evidences of Mr. Covert's strength of character, is the fact that his influetice over his family has been so there is no danger of the dissipation, and squandering of his estate which has been so often the mournful result of the descent of property in our neighborhood.

His children have received a good sound education, and in many respects give promise of copying the virtues of their parent. It is thus that the memory of the just is blessed.

This morning the Russian Frigate, "General Admiral, was launched from the yard of Wm. H. Webb, foot of Sixth street, East River.There was an immense concourse present, king the adjoining docks and shipping, and this side, every point where a good view of launch could be had, had its little knot of speotators. The launch took place precisely at the time indicated 8 o'clock, and was one of the most singularly successful ones we remember have seen, even from the yard of her celebrated builder. She slid off the ways, when signal was given, with a slow, graceful, almost hesitating movement, vas if she hardly made up her mind whether to go at She did not go near half noross the river -hardly more than, three hundred feet, think, into the stream.

"Neither did she down above the red mark. When she dropped anchor amid the cheers of the crowd the firing of guns from the neighboring vessels, it was confessed on all sides that such a launch had not been seen for a long time. This the largest wooden vessel ever constructed, one of the most magnificent specimens of naval architecture ever beheld. A few words of special description may be out of place. The ship was decorated with the Russian Jack forward, the American ensigns upon the shears amidships, the Russian national flag next, and the Russian naval ensign aft.

Both decks of the great ship were literally crowded with people who had obtained tickets for admission on board, an and who were eager for the honor of being launched in the largest and finest man-of-war that was ever built in this City. Three thousand persons at least must have been op board, as that number tickets were issued. The steamship St. Louis, lying at the pier foot of Eighth street, was gaily dressed out wih flags, and her upper deck was filled with ladies and gentlemen. The steam-tugs William H.

Webb and Achilles were in position at the piers on each side, to catch hold of and prevent her going too far in case of any accident to the anchors and chains. There were a large number of coils of a heavy. chain cable 9,000 pounds in weight suspended at the starboard hawse pipe with 45 fathoms of chain, forming a ponderous drag. This was let go the instant the ship had cleared the ways, which falling among the mess of rising timbers gradually, but firmly checked her progress by dragging the mass upon the bottom. The steam-tugs immediately ran towards upon each bow, and taking a hawser, soon brought her to.

She was towed to the pier adjoining the ship yard, where the 3,000 people were finally landed, and the ship was then towed to the Novelty Works, where she is to receive her machinery. The following gentlemen were present at the launch: The Consul-General, Mr. Demotibeck, and the other Consulates, Captain Shest Koof, under whose sole supervision she has been built, Captain Schwartz, Baron Boyle, Captain Boye, Captain Selinienoff, the chief Engineer, who has immediate charge of her macbipery and goes in the ship, Captain Ivastchauki, Lieutenants Majaisky, Belalchainkenoff and Kolebnin, all officers of the ship. She will be ready to leave this port about the first of May next. She will sail first to Cronstadt, the port of St.

Petersburgh, to receive her guns which are being manufactured present for her in Russia. Her two Dahlgreen pivot-guns of 10 inch calibre are being made at West Point Foundry. Lower than the lowest in pricethan the best in quality -these are the characteristics of Mr. O. T.
