At the last state election the republican majority was 2L.309.

In the 80 towns heard from the republican majority is 12,89. If this proportion is kept up In the towns yet to be heard from, the republican majority this year will reach 25,000 though this would indicate a total vote of over 00,000, which is larger than is usually cat. It is probable, howevert that the majority at the last state election will be reached, which is a greater victory than the republicans bad reason to expect. There is only one 'iberal republieau elected to the legislature in the 101 towns returned, and only five democrats, to U5 republicans. The coalitionists are not likely to have sulll- cieut representation in that bedy to do any extensive hand-shaking.

It is evident that there is little Greeleyism among the staunch republicans of Vermont, and there is no indication of the "tidal wave" the coalitionists have been predicting. The Greeley wave in Vermont amounts to scarce ly a ripple. And it may now be pretty safely set down that the philosopher is to obtain but a feeble support from repub licans in New F.iigland.

Before Mr. Greeley's eye became blinded by his absurd ambition he did not hesitate to condemn utterly the men who are now his political trainers. The Tammany which now furnishes the money, and engineers theGree-ley campaign, is the same Tammany as three years ago, although for a time the old leaders take back seats. But the list of delegates chosen last week to the state convention shows the same corrupt men as belonged to the old ring. Less than two years ago Mr.

Gree ley contrasted the administration of General Grant with that of Tammany. Now that Mr. Greeley la the standard bearer of this same Tammany hia wnrH. are of special Interest. We quote from the Trikine of October 14th 1870 "Fer this shockirg expenditure what done get? dirty streets.

At the meet iog for organization a Norwich dveriitter reporter made himself obnoxious, and was removed by a deputy sheriff. A Grant and Wilson glee club has been started in Meriden, and is composed of some of the best Bingers in that city. Judge George W.

Numerous letters have been addressed to the President by pro ueut parties, expression their desire that Mr. Laaey be retained. hererore, aceordme to present circumstances, he will remain in office. A correspondent of the Cincinnati Gazelle has been to the Greeley headquarters and writes: "Judge J-tsper Johnson, the secretary of the committee, very kindly gave me all needed information in regard to their on- eratious, eaowins me mrougu inree rooms. ud giving me a view of the inside workings of the puliticvl machine shop.

OR ANT, of Illinois For vice President, EENEY WILSON, of Massachusetts Franco baa just effected the payment of hundred million franca (one hundred million dollars-) of her indemnity debt to Germany, a show of patriotism and vl(tor that Is far from tll-timetl In view of the Imperial coufrresa, at which her condition will undoubtedly be a matter of serious consldera tion, eveu if all the reports of Us friendlj nature are to be believed. The Pennsylvania and New Jersey delega tinus at the Louisville convention were de sirous of supportiiiK General William B.

Franklin, of this city, for the presidential nomination, and asked for permission to pre gent bis name to the convention. General Frinklin declined to be a candidate for the nomination. He Is out-spoken In his opposi tion to the Greeley ticket. Charles O'Couor declines the Louisville nomination, though he Is in sympathy with the convention In its hostility to the bargain ann sale ticketf Cincinnati and Baltimore. His letter, received in a special dispatch to The Coctiant, ia printed in another column in full.

His statement of bis views of the presidential question, as well as his theories of government, and political economy, will be read with interest. Our advices from Maine indicate that the canvass looks well there. We hardly expect. in view of the local questions which will have an effect to reduce the republican vote, that the majority of last year will be sustained. If it is reduced, however, it will be mainly due to the recent unpopular temperance leg islation in the state, and not to any great de gree to aerectiou ot repunucang In tavor of Greeley.

The evidences are that in Maine. as elsewhere, the Greeleyitea are losing ground every day. Senator Sumner has sailed for Europe. His Intention was kept secret until yesterday, when he embarked on board the steamer Malta His health, never very good, and to a great degree dependent upon the state of his mind, was such that further participation iu the campaign was likely to produce serious oonsequeuces, and bis departure was in ac cordance with the advice his physicians The campaign, so far, has not been very satis factory to Mr. Sumner, and he has probably saved himself a great deal of nervousness and disappointment by relinquishing his unap preciated efforts therein.

The Louisville convention, sneered at and laughed at as it has been, has taken a definite form, has received the recognition of some of the most eminent democrats of the country and now stands in a far better light before the country than did the Cincinnati conven tion at this Btage of its existence. It is party convention, not a mixed affair. It Is not not characterized by the preseuce of traders urging their candidates, but it is democrats meeting to take their party out of the liaud of those to whom it is sold. Mr. 'Conor letter alone would dignify the whole affi Mr.

Duncan's speech is an energetic demo cratic effusion, and the convention is now fairly lauuehed and has begun a work that will be appreciated by the multitude of dem ocrats ah over the country whocaunot recon cile themselves to the democratic-liberal- Cincinnati-Baltimore ticket. Senator Sumner has abruptly departed for Purone, tiring a last shot at President Grant ho leaves our shores. He prepared p-'feh to be delivered in Faneuil Hall, 'ii, list evening, but being advised by physician net to make the publio effort lieoews-ary for its deliverv, he put it into the hands of a friend with permission to print it, and et sail for a It tells noth ing new about Mr. Sumner's feelings, or of his Tcasons for supporting Greeley. Dis claiming that he is influenced in bis course by personal feelings, he renews his stale charges against the president, with less exhibition bitternesB than la bis speech in the senate chamber, but nevertheless with some Bhow of temper.

With his usual modesty, he devotes considerable of his speech to a review of his own persouai records ia the endeavor to show that he has been always consistent. We are not surprised that Mr. Sumner readily yield ed to the advice of his friends and failed to fnoo his constituents with his oft repeated at tacks upon the President, and with his lame defeuse of bis own course, and his expression cf belief in the sudden conversion to republicanism of the entire demo cratic party. It is fitting that he should go on shipboard and toil such things to "the ma riues' it is too shallow a supposition for the Boston market. Mr.

Sumner is evidently chagrined that his attacks upon the adminis tration have had so lit-tle effect upon the people. He will feel happier in Europe than here during the next three monthJL The New York state democratic convention win ne neia to-day at Syracuse. The so- called "liberals" who have united with that party will also attend, and there is a difficult question to be settled in the matter of nomination awards. In the first place each of these parts of the party wants to monopolize the nominations and it will require more than the skill represented there to settle mat ters to suit all. Moreover after the great line of division is drawn, then the individuals who have pretensions will come in and con tend for the opportunities.

Tammany will not l.se such a chance aa this and by similar subtle engineering to that which foisted Greeley upon Cincinnati, it is probable some outspoken or secretly bound Tammany ite will be thrust upon this convention. With the Greeley alliance they hope to carry the etate, and feel that so much plunder cannot be wantonly sacrificed by com- Dating an honest man. And, too, some of the men most likely to unite the different factions have positively refused toallow their lines to be used. The confidence of success ho wever, if entertained by this party, rests on a weak foundation. Its promise is to carry the enflre democratic and a large defected "liberal" vote; but at the head of the repub lican ticket stands General Dix whose nomination, everyway judicious, has given a terri ble blow to the democratic prospects.

He is eure of the whole republican vote of the state, and is looked up to and respected to such an extent by the better part of the democratic party that when it comes to a choice between him and a corrupt Tammany candidate, he wili draw away from the Syracuse candidate a very heavy vote, in ell probability enough to secure the defeat of Tammany even iu its own stronghold. The only hope of this convention lies iu the nomination of a prominent man of unimpeachable character, ard none can be found whomttey will take axd who will take them. Whether the world itself is ultimately to yield to the consuming powers of fire, tain element of destruction has been particularly potent of late In obliterating many of the links that have served to biud past and present together. Besides the f-'aiful losses of life and property occasioned by the Chicrgo and Michigan fires, tr-d these in the forests of Pennsylvania, York, California and other parts the country, there has been terrible havoc lu places hallowed by the associations of of history and looked upon themselves as almost parts of history. Within a short time the Strasbourg library, the Dussel-dorf academy of art and the Augustine con-veut at Erfurt, one of Luther's homes, have beeu injured or destroyed by fire, and In England, Warwick Castle has suffered similarly.

To these must now be added the Can terbury cathedral, which has just been seri ously damaged by fire and water, and was at first reported to have been destroyed. Work men were engaged in repairing leaks in the roof Tuesday morning, and the upsetting of one of their obarcoal furnaces started the flames. By vigorous efforts the total destruction of the cathedral was prevent ed, but one hundred and fifty feet of the building wa destroyed. The mosaic pavement Is covered with melted lead, which dropped from the burning roof. The altar was deluged with water, and the interior of the edifice was filled with smoke.

The whole length of the building Is 514 feet, and its width 71 feet, so that more than one quarter has been destroyed. The cathedral was build In the year 1130, and restored during this century. It was before the high altar here that Thomas a Beckett was murdered iu 1170. and fortunately his shrine is reported as uninjured by the fire. There are several monuments there, one to the memory of the Black Prince, and of Henry IV.

The painted windows of the cathedral are rich and remarkable ia their beauty, and the whole structure, particularly in its interior appearance, was considered one tit the most beautiful In England. of oi Tenth Connecticut Volunteer.

liaroum excepted, met yesterday to open the bids for the new capitol building. Twenty-two bids in all were received froi parties in New York aud Boston, and from James G. Batterson and 11. H. Bissell of this city.

Owing to Mr. Barnum's abseuoe i wa pot thought advisable to take any action and the board adjourned to ine.jt ou Saturday I or Monday next, subject to the attendance I that gentleman. As to the character of the bids no publicity wa made. 'J he commis sioners, after consulting togwthor for a consid- eraoie lime, proceeded to the senate cbamhe and Inspected several specimens of buildir-g material submitted for examination. Mr, Batterson exhibited a verv hantlsouie block of white marble, dreesed differently ou its several sides, which was much admired.

It is from a new ounrrv orreued bv him in Ne Canaan, aud would make a very elegant build ing, lie also showed blocks of Westerlv granite, sucn as the i onnecticut Mutua building is const ructed of. The Granite rail way compauv contributed several blocks of V'Jlncy and Concord granite. The Hartford hre insurance building is built of the former. and the Charter Oak life building of the lat ter. Both mnke a rich anoearance.

Mr James Levy, of Mt. Vernon. exhibited three specimen of Lee marble, aud there was also one block of polished marl.le from quarry lu Westchester county, New York. Ihe commisaionera will probably not deter mine what material shall be used until the plans and contracts are more definitely acted upon. The commissioners present vesterday were: Goverrfor Jewell, the Hon.

Batterson was permitted to erect his handsome block on High street, and in tbe case of Pratt and other street there have been long and bitter contests before a build ing line has beeu agreed upon. The uniform rule adopted by the city council has been to fix the Hue close by the rather than compel business Llocks or buildings to go back to the old line of dwelling e.ouses. Ptarl street, in a few years at tbe longest, must be almost entirely given up to business interests, and people owning private residences there to-day will be undoubtedly desirous of availing themselves of the additional flout wiil get bv taking ud a new line in advance of the present line of buildings. Just now tbe rho-nix insurance company preparing to erect a fine building on the lot just west of the Pearl street church, aud a petition l.as gone in to the board of street commissioners asking for the establishment of a line ten feet back from the street line, or on a line with the church. The street Is a wide one air.

It will certainly make a queer looking street. ltn trie bold proiectlons of the Connecticut mutual building on th3 Main street corner, and a corresponding trespass over the line of tbe Halls of Record building on the corner below. Considering all precedents in cases of this kind it is not prubabie that tbe couucil wiil consent to conform to the wishes of the petitioners but if it should the Pbtunix company wiil be entitled to a fair remuneration for the land which is to be taken from them, and which is worth, according to the cost of the whole, some seven thousand dol- lais. THE LICKMKi; LiW.

A Lr-al Opinion on Disputed Point. A well known legal gentleman of this city submits the following observations on the points touched on in the article on lioenses which appeared ia Tub Col'BANtou Tuesday moinilng To the Editor ot Tm Piii'SiKT I see by this morning's Cockakt that one of the questions before the selectmen raised by applicants for liceuses wa with reference to a dealer having branch stores, whether one license would oover ail, or it would be neces sary to take out one for each store, and the writer makes the remark that "It would seem as if one license in a case of this kind should answer the requirement of the law, which makes no restriction." Aa I rend t.h law it aoes make a specific restriction upon this very point, as follows, iu section flnat "Such license sua 1 sneeifv ins town within whieh and the particular building or place witbiu such town wbere such liquor may be sold. and Shall not be deemed to authorize siieh sale ti uiiy fjllier toitn. building or pluce aud every peraon so licensed wno snail mike any such sale iu any other town, building or pace than the one tuecilied In audi license shall be subject to all the penalties provided by law ior unlicensed persons, anil De proceeded against, prosecuted and punisned as such. Ihe law could uot well be clearer upon tnls point.

There must be a separate license for every store or "place1 wbere liquor Is sold. The place must evidently be so designated iu tbe license as to identify and distinguish it irnm an other places the language ia that "the particular building or place" must be specified in the license, and the lioeuse only authorizes tbe sale of liquors in that building or place" tnus designated. As to the sureties on the boudsthe lawonly require them to be "good and sufficient." without reference to the business they may follow. As to the unfairness of commencing prosecutions immediately against those who sell without licenses after the 15th of September, seems to me it will be unfair to those who comply with tbe law and take out licenses, not to proceed at onoe against those who do not. There has been an abundance of time to make applications and the dilatory should uot be rewarded for their negligenoe.

They ought at least to stop selling. Lex. Hartford, September 3, 1872.

To th Public The Trustee of th Public Library of Kentucky being satisfied from the large sal ol llcke'J already made, and the dally tncrelng demand for them, that there will be no occasion for pos-ponlng the seror.d drawing in the Gift Concert In aid of th Public Library of Kentucky, have instructed me, as their agentand manager of the Concert, to say to th public and tickst-bolders that the drawing wll positively take plae on (September 24-h and will not be p3poned. An active demand for tickets oorne from eveiy state nd territory of the United Bute, and from the Canadas, giving a'sorance to the Trusteed that no elrcomstsnee can prevent a drawing at tbesppolnted time. A nfflclent clerical force is engaged to keep Bp with the orders for ticket.

nd In order thlt tbl of fice may be relieved of the Immense pressure Incident to the business for the week or two immediately pre ceding tbe drawing, agents especially, ind those de-sirous of procuring tick-ts, are requested to- send in their orders lmme-dareiy. as sal, will have to be closed Ib time to make tbe necessary preparations for the drawing. It Is tbe wish of the management to fill every order for a ticket, as well as to sell all the tickets, but those who apply first must first be sup plied and, if those who put off buying until tale are closed, nave tbetr money returned. Instead of the ticket ordered, as In th first Gift Concert in December last, when thousands of dollars that came too late were sent back, wili have none to blame but themselves. Tans.
