"Slippery Sam" slips in. Ewmo's paregoric didn't save the rag baby. The Democratic kite wabblea in apace this morning without a tail. Ohio does not seem to have done its part in the reported Tilden-Payne trade. The Evansville Journal, the leading Democratic paper of Southern Indiana, bolts the nomination, flat. The Cincinnati Enquirer ought to be "mighty interesting reading" to-day. This advertisement is gratuitous. Thhre is a joy too deep for utterance. Possibly this may account for the silence in Democratic ranks last night. Tildeh'h Bcalp will look well on Hayes's belt, along with the gory locks of Thurman, Pendleton and Allen. If all the Democrats could make up their minds to look upon the nominee as Tilden does, they might be happy yet. The nomination of Tilden fell like a funeral pall over the Democracy of this region. That is the plain, unadulterated truth. Ewma for Vice President, with Tilden at the head of the ticket, would be rather a crazy bridge over the chasm. Hendricks could straddle it, though. Any person who is an adept at figuring out Democratic victories can doubtless obtain employment at once by applying at the office of the Cincinnati Enquirer, The Democratic National Convention left part of its work to he done to-day, but that whioh was principally interesting was disposed of yesterday. The dispatches of last night give no sign aa to who will take the second place on the ticket, and give neither satisfaction or discouragement to those who favor a bolt of the Greenback portion of the delegates and a new nomination, A TELEGRAM from Cincinnati, printed elsewhese,s will gratify the public curiosity, to some extent, as to what -i , T : ... . . j I 111, JJUquiier piufJuacB lu uu nuuu, it.

Tilden, of New York, who was yesterday nominated for President of the United States by the Democratic Na tional Convention, at Bt. Louis, was born at New. Lebanon, Columbiana county, New York, in the year 1814, and is now about sixtytwo years old. One of his an cestore, Nathaniel Tilden, was ' Mayor of the oily of Tenterden, Kent, England, in 1623. He was succeeded in that office by his cousin John, as h had been preceded by his uncle John in 1585 and 1600, He removed with his family to Scituate, in the colony of Massachusetts, in 1634. His brother Joseph was one of the merchant adventurers of London who fitted out the Mayflower. This Nathaniel Til den married Hannah Bourne, one of whose sisters married a brother ot Uov-ernor Wioslow, and another a son of Governor Bradford. Governor Tilden's grandfather, John Tilden, settled in Columbia county. The Governor's mother waB descended from William Jones, Lieutenant Governor of the colony of New Haven, who in all the histories of Connecticut is represented to have been the Bon of Colonel John Jones, one of the regicide judges of Charles I,, who is said to have married a sister ol Oliver Cromwell and a cousin of John Hampden. The Governor's father was a farmer and merchant of New Lebanon, and is said to have been a man whose ad vice in politics was highly valued by Martiu Van Buren and other men of note. Governor Tilden entered Yale College in 1832, when in his eighteenth year. He had received political education from his father, and before reaching his majority wrote out his views on an attempt at "coalition between National Republicans and anti-Masons" to defeat Jackson and Van Buren. His father was so much pleased with the paper that he exhibited it to Van Buren, and It was subsequently adopted as an address from a ."'nber of leading Democrats and published. lilden soon lelt I ale college ou account of failing health, but resumed his studies in 1831, at the University of New York, where he completed his academic education. While yet a student he achieved success and distinction, as his partisan friends claimed, in an impromptu debate with United States Senator Nathaniel P. Talmage, who had separated from the Democrats on account of the financial policy of Van Buren. The Whigs had invited any Democrats who might deBire to reply to the Senator to express their views, iiiaen was pusneu into the Dreacn Dy ome ol nis leuow students, who were in the rear part of the hall. Tilden studied law in theofticeof John W. Edmunds, of New York city, and at the same time continued his pursuit of politics, making a special study of the financial questions of 1837. His next notable speech-was at New Lebanon on the 3d ol uctooer, Law, in ueiense oi me President's financial scheme. Upon being admitted to the bar Tilden opened a law office on Pine street, New York, and in the Polk campaign in 1S44, in connection with John L. O'Snllivan, founded a newspaper called the Daily News. In 1846 he was sent to the Assembly from New York city, and while a member of that body was elected to a convention to remodel the State Consti tution. After the defeat of Silas Wright in 1840, Tilden devoted himself to the legal profession, inheriting no fortune, as a re cent biographer sayB, and depending upon his own exertions for support; and discerning the importance of pecuniary independence for the successful proBecution of a political career. The first notable case of which mention is made was his Buccessful conduct of a case in which the election of Azariah 0. JF lagg as Citv Comntroller of New York, waB contested by the "Know-Nothing" candidate, in 1855. Tilden was retained by Flagg, and is declared to have been successful in the face of great difficulties. He next figures conspicuously and sue-cessfnlly in the celebrated Burdell Cun- ningham contested i?(ll case. A partial historian says : "There is piobably no caae in which Mr. Tilden has been employed that required the exercise of bo high a range of metaphysical powers, or in which Ins ptnetfatjon of character ap-nunrod in oraatpr advantage. His defense seemed almost a creation, and the result produced the most profound impression as it removed whatever doubt existed in the minds of the people as to Mrs. Cun ningham's participation in the murder of rjurueu. Anions the subsequent ilea? cases in Tilden's practice was bis defense of the Pennsylvania uoai company in in mm with the Delaware and Hudson Canal company. He was also engaged in uie caae of the Cumberland Coal company, in Martland. against ltB Directors, and had a very exteiwiye practice among the great railway corporations of the country. The JNew lorn worm (ueniocrauc;, from which this sketch is compiled, gives Tilden's position at the outbreak of the war as follows: "Till the war came governor Tilden made every effort to avert the rebellion. When his efforts, combined with those of other prominent patriots, had proved abortive, his convictions ot duty were perfectly decided and clear. They were to maintain the integrity of opr territory and the supremacy of the constitutional authorities. He had been educated in the school of Jackson, and bad been a diligent student of the lessons taught by the nullification controversy of 1833, He had studied oarefully and profoundly the relation of the Federal and State governments, and of the citizens of those governments. He had thus early formed perfectly clear and settled opinions, about which his mind never vacillated. They were the opinions of Jackson, of Van Buren, of Wright and of Marcy, with whom, during most of their public lives, he had been on terms of personal intimacy. "DurlnL' the winter of 18(10-61, he at tended a meeting of the leading men of both parties 111 llie city ot JNew jo, to consider what measures were necessary and practicable to avert an armed collis-inn between what were then termed the free and the slave States. To the North he urged reconciliation and forbearance, appreciating as he did more clearly than most of those around him the fearful and disastrous consequences of a civil war, whatever mig'it prove its ultimate result. To the South he urged a deference to the will of the mojurity mid a respect for the provision of the federal constitution, within which they would be sure of ade quate protection for themselves and for their property; but he warned them that outside of the Constitution they could expect protection for neither. "When the war did come Mr. Tilden associated himself with and was the private adviser of Mr. Dean Richmond, then at the head of the Democratic party of this State, and who was accustomed on all important questions to visit Mr. Tilden in his retirement and seek his counsel. "At a meeting held at the bouse of General Dlx, just after the first call of President Lincoln for VO.UOU troops, Mr. Tilden was present and participated in the discussions which took place, He then and there expressed the opinion tha they were on the eve of a great war, an. maintained that instead of 76.000 troop Mr. Lincoln should have called out a Ipftat AOOOnft half fnr immMtikb, Mnlrf and the other half to be put in camps of instruction and trained for impending exigencies." ' The World gives him credit for breaking up the "ring" in New York, which made him prominent in the line of "reform" and brought him out as a candidate for Governor, to which office he was elected by a plurality of 53,315 over John A. Dix. ' In his administration of the office of Governor the chief claim of his friends is that he has ''arrested completely the system of fraudulent expenditure on the canals, which ha had denounced at the bar of public opinion." Mr. Tilden is five feet ten inches in height, and he haa what physiologists call the purely nervous temperament, with its usual accompauiment of spare figure, blue eyes and fair complexion, His hsir, originally chestnut, is now partially silvered with age. SPELTERINI AT NIAGARA. l,atly to (.'roe tbe River aiuirle Hope. New York Herald, led. The great aenBation of the present day in the amusement world is the projected trip across the Niagara river of a young lady, lately arrived from Europe, and known as the Signorina Maria Spelterini The young artiste arrived in New York about two months ago, and has since been quietly making preparations to accom plish the teat ttiat gave Blonuin a world wide reputation. During her stay in this city the Spelterini gave two representations at Jones's Wood, and performed feats on the high roiie one hun dred feet above the ground that at once convinced the spectators of her perfect right to the encomiums she has received from the European press. Some well knowL managers who were present at her initial performance freely expressed the opinion that sue excelled in grace and daring any artiste that haB ever visited this country. A Herald reporter paid Mile. Hnelterinl a visit yesterday after noon, and in course of conversation learned the following facts : She was born in Livorno, Italy, and made her first appear ance in public with her father's company, when she waB three years of age. She performed until she reached tbe age of ten upon the tight rope and then commenced the slack wire and the rolling globe. Iu the two last acts she achieved a brilliant success, performing for two years in Berlin and Vienna. In 1871 she went to Russia and made Buch a grand success upon the high rope that she adopted that branch ot her profession entirely and gave it her sole attention. She is gifted with wonderful nerve, combined with cool daring, and during her entire career has never made a single mistake, although on several occasions she waB only saved from accident by great presence of mind. In 1873, when performing in Surrey GardenB, London, on the day the Alexandria Palace was destroyed by fire, she was standing on the platform waiting to commence ber act when the rope broke and the shuck threw down the pole on the other end. The one supporting the platform on which she Btood rocked violently as her assistant was jumping about and about to throw himBelf oft", but Bhe caught him by the hair of the head and made bim stand etU until assistance was brought and they both landed ou terra firma sufe and sound. On one occasion, when performing at night in Jersey at a height of 125 feet over the bay, a violent thunderstorm arose, frightening everybody in the vicinity, but uhc went through her performance with the lightning flashing' all around her and never for a moment lost her presence of mind. Last year at Oporto she was advertised to carry a boy acroai En her back, a distance of 200 feet, about eighty feet frcu; the ground. The boy disappointed her and Bhe eairied Jier brother across, a gentleman weighing 170 pounds. Speaking of Niagara, the Spelterini does not regard the feat us anything at all extraordinary, as walking across the rivr does not display the artiste's nerve half as much as the different performances that she proposes to give on the rope. If sufficient strain can be got on the rope bo aa to stretch it tuitrtl;!' straight, she will be able to give her entire repertoire; and, iu any case, if the rope can be properly guyed, she will perform Borne ten or iwelvedifierpnt acts. The roK is now being manufactured in this city, and when completed will measure 1000 feet and weigh 1700 pounds. It will require 1000 pound weight of guys to keep it fairly Bteady. The rope will be stretched across the Niagara Rapids about 200 feet below the Railroad Suspension bridge, and 300 feet on each bank of the river will he enclosed and arranged with seats for the accommodation of the spectators. The first performance will be given on July 1, Dominion Day, at four p. m.; and the second at tbe same hour on July 4, in honor to the Centennial celebration, The Spelterini and her brother left last night for the International Hotel, where Bhe will remain during her stay at Niagara FallB. Poellcttl Old Bachelor. Corneille, Racine and Boileau were all poetical old bachelors. Gray waB, in every sen e, real and poetical, a Jold, fastidious old bachelor, at once shy and proud, sensitive and selfish. In looking through his memoirs, letters and poems, we cannot find one indication that he waB ever under the influence of woman. He loved his mother and was dutiable to two tiresome old aunts who thought poetry one of the seven deadly sins. His learning was entombed with him. His genius survives in his eletv and odes. What be came of his heart we know not. He mik'ht well moralize on his bachelorship and call himself "a solitary fly." Collins was never a lover, and never married. He is reported to have been once in love, and as the lady was one aa? omer man mm self, he used to say, jestingly, that "he came into the world a day alter the fair, He wrote an ode on tbe paflsions, in which, after dwelling on hope, fear, de spair and pity, he disiuiesps love with a ..lf w C'nllTn.

When w look at a picture of Thompson we won der how a man with that countenance and mien could ever have written "The Seasons," or have been in love. He was devoted to his "Amanda" through a long series of years, but some destiny denied him domestic happiness. Hammond, the favorite of our continental granumoiners. was an amiable youth and wrote sonnets to "Delia." But this lady was deaf to his pastoral strains, so he was doomed to live ana aie atone.

On the second ballot six of the New Jersey delegates claimed their right to cast their individual votes for Tilden, urging that the reeolution under which they acted did not bind them beyond tbe first vote. The New Jersey chairman contended that he alone had a right to announce the vote. Another New JerBev delegate asked that the delegation have 'leave to retire, insisting upon the right of individual voting.

He received but few dispatches from St. Louis, and sent none there. This evening, when the Associated Press bulletin dispatch announcing simply, " Tilden nominated on the second ballot," J was received, it was sent up to the Executive Mansion. There were present with the Governor, Comptroller Robinson. State Engineer Van Bu ren and four or five other friends. Mr. Newell took the passage and read it aloud to uie uovernor.

This was also read to the Governor. who then exhibited signs of interest, and inquired if any one knew what the vote was, and what the platform contained. No one present could answer either question. The Governor then drew four or five of those present about him, and in a tone scarcely above a whisper said : "I can tell you what has been done. This nomination was not made by the leaders of the party. It was the people who made it. They want reform. They have wanted it a long while, and in looking about they have be come convinced that it is to be found here, (pointing at himself.) Thev want it. That is what they are after. They are sick of corruptions and maladministra tion 01 their affairs, lhev want a chance. and one for the better a thorough reformation.

Other dispatches were then received.con- veying congratulations from all points of the country, in the midst of which tbe Governor maintained almost stolid im-perturbility.A large number of citizens secured the services of a band of musicians, and at twelve o'clock proceeded to the executive Mansion. Governor Tilden received them. shaking hands with a large number, and receiving their congratulations. The crowd entered the grounds in front of the mansion, when, after repeated calls, the Governor stepped to the door and said : L.ITIZEN8 or Albany : 1 thank vou for thia impromptu expression of your kind regard. During mv residence in vour city the past two years 1 have received many like demonstrations, and I assure you I feel grateful to you.

The Courier is of opinion that the Greenback delegates should withdraw and nominate William Allen for President on an Ohio platform.

David Cummings, of the Reformed Episcopal Church, who died near Balti more yesterday, was well' known in Ken-lucky. On the first of June, 1866, while aoting Hector of Trinity Lpiscopal Church, Chicago, he was elected assistant to the venerable Bishop Smith of this di ocese, who had through years become too infirm for thedutitiesol his othce. bishop Smith himself recommended the election of the Assistant Bishop. Rev. Dr. Whit tle, then Kectorof fit. ram s Church, and Rev. Dr. Craik, of Christ Church, were the prominent candidates. A pumber of ballots were taken, and the Convention being unable to make a choice a conference was decided upon, which resulted in bringing forward Rev. G. D. Cummings, who was elected on the first ballot, receiving all the votes cast except two. He continued to fill this position until November 10, 1873, when he Bent to Bishop Smith his letter of withdrawal. Upon his withdrawal he founded the Reformed Episcopal Church, and has since devoted to it his talent and energies, iimmanuel Ueformed fcipisoopal Church is the only one of the denomination in this city. Olhers have been established in other cities, but Bishop Cummings has not had nn extensive following. His early life was in the Methodist Episcopal Church, but his mature years were given to the Episcopal Church. Nnllonnl Board or Trade. New York, June 28.

If the Democrats concede that it is nec essary for them to carry Ohio in the Octo ber election (and they scarcely deny ltj in order to hope for success in the nation al election a month later, they may as well abandon the light now, and permit the sweltering delegate at Hi. Louis to seek cooler quarters. They haven't a man in their parly, in Ohio or out of Ohio, who can make any headway against the cause of Mr. Hayes. Hayes is the man whom the Republicans have always called on to beat the favorite Democratic sons of Ohio. He has beaten Thurman, Pendleton, and Bill Allen whenever any of tbem ran against him, and there ib uo question about his doing it again. Certainly these are the strongest men the Democrats have in Ohm, and, il they are not able to oope with Hayes, how can they expect any leaner lights of the State to outshine him ? Mr. Hayes's perennal popularity, and the pride which the Ohioans feel in him, will render it simply imposBible for any outsider to make a headway against him. lihlen and Hen dricks would be equally powerless in this, and with such a man as Dayis, or Hun-cock, or Joel 1'Hrker, the number of Onio Ulemocrats who would vote lor Hayes could be oounted by the thousand. Though all thiB has been apparent from the moment Mr. Hayes was nominated, the reflection has been brought up anew by the enthusiastic reception given him at his quiet home in Fremont, in which the whole neighborhood participated without distinction of party, and by the roua-ing mass meeting held Saturday night at Cincinnati which was addressed by ex-Gov. Koyes and ex-Secretary Bristow. In the utterances at that meeting and their reception by the people may be felt the great personal Btrength of the Republican Presidential candidate in bis own State a State that happens to be one of the two most important in the approaching election. Gov. Noyes reproduced the familiar likeness of Hayes in these words: "1 have known bim, aB you have, long and well. At tbe bar, in the army, in the domestic circle, among his friends, in public life, 1 know that his private character is above reproach, as pure and spotless aa the unsullied ouow, and that his public career challenges criticism from the most exacting of his opponents; he ie brave and prompt to do his duty, re-gardlesB of personal consequences, and possesses practical common sense enough for half a dozen Presidents. He hae made no mistakes." Such wordB coming from a man like Noyes, who is himBelf known to the Ohio people for hiB dignity and uprightness of character, are of more avail than the most brilliant panegyric ever clothed in glittering periods. "He lias made no mistakes." It is an epitome of Hayes's private life and his public oareer, which might well he posted ou every Republican banner and transparency during the campaign. It tells the whole story. It means that there has been no act of his life which can be assail ed. It means that, in bis long years of public service, he bas uot by neglect, inadvertence, incompetence, nr from any other cause, done or omitted to do anything for which he can be blamed. He is the very type of man, in this reBpect, that the people of the United StateB demand at the present time. With hia election as President, there will be a return to the quiet, peaceful, and dutiful pursuit of good liovernment without personal OBlen' tation. It Bounds like old times to hear Noves talk ss follows : "He is in full sympathy with the spirit of reform which seems to have taken pos session of the public mind, and under his administration public thieves and rascals will not prosper and grow rich. He haB exemplified in all his life that heiBOODns ed to Bhams and vain shows of every sort; to that extravagant manner of livinu whioh has resulted iu the downfall of so many public men, and which haB invaded almost every avenueof private life. When he enters the White House, as he is sure to do, he will bear himself with the same quiet modesty as though he were paBsiug tbe threshold of his quiet home at Fremont, There will be no kingly pageants to mock the simplicity of republican in- DIED.

It iB not likely he will ever be seen on the avenue four-in-hand, and it ib certain that nis friends. asBociates and advisers will be selected from men of nrj- right character and high attainments. He will labor for the pacification and prosperity of the South: for the enforcement of the law; for the honest payment of the nation s ueuts; tor honest money, for retrenchment, economy and reform in' tbe civil service of the country. He will have a dignified, able and honest administration, which will command the confidence and subserve the interests of the people." This is the sort of an Administration, and thia the kind of President, the people have been demanding ever Hince the ex posure ol omcial corruption in Washing ton, ever eince the reaction set in against the speculation and extravagance that grew out of the war, ever since the neces sity ot resuming the old-time simplicity has been apparent as the only means of assuring Republican Government. JNothing was needed to strengthen Hayes in Ohio, but the appearance of ex- Secretary Bristow at the Cincinnati meeting, and the hearty, sincere, and enthusiastic support he gave the candidacy of Mr. Hayes, will Bpread all over the united Mates and leave a deep im pression wherever it is read. Bristow was talking to the whole country. As ha said in a modest and cursory allusion to uimsen, which ue maae in order lo return thanks for the cordial support he had re ceived from the people in the reform workB he had undertaken, he haa been "the representative of an idea. principle which dies near the hearts of the people." It was this fact that induced thousands of people to whom Bristow is personally unknown, and who had scarcely heard of him two years ago, to insist upon his nomination at Cincinnati almost as a sine qua non of their supporting the Republican party. A very large number of Mr. Bristow's strongesl friends, indeed, would not havesupporteil any other of the candidates exoept Hayes. Now, when their representative pat- cj.ee!'-fence of the principle of reforming the public Bervice takes the Brat proper occasion, and certainly the most eflective way, ol declaring his confidence that Mr. Hayes iB the man of all others to carry out and enforce the policy which Bristow bas made so popular, the declaration is one of great import. It will reach out North and South, J,ast and West, and gather in all people who are devoted to the cause of reform. Mr. Bristow's speech was val uable, also, as being an able review and approving analysis of the Cincinnati platform; and, as a Southern man, the follow ing has a Bpecial significance: 'Ihe position of the Republican nartv to-day presents an opportunity for the complete obliteration of such "lines. It appeals to no prejudice and invokes no sectional bate. It plants its banner high on the ramparts of freedom, and invites the people of every section and condition to full and equal enjoyment of all civil and political rights. The old Henry Clay Whigs and Douglas Democrats of. the South, inspired by that love of the Uuion which animated the bosoms of their ureal leaders, should stand shoulder to shoul- ler with us in this Centennial year. Thev are no lees interested than ourselves in preserving the Union and Demetuaticg the blessings of freedom. Let them bury the hurtful prejudices engendered by civil war, and once more to the front with their old allies and political friends, who will gladly welcome them. 'The platform and candidates of the Republican party are worthy the sunoort of every man of the South who is willing to torgei me DilternesBof the past, or who has within hiB boBom a spirk of patriotic hope for the future of our common country and indissoluble Union. There is no substantial reason why every man who has acted with the Republican parly may not stand on the Cincinnati platform and support the nominees. Applause What ever cause of difference may have existed heretofore are brushed away by the wine and timely action of the late Convention."There will probably be no more effective speech for Hayes during the entire campaign than Bristow has made, and i character is Buch as to reflect great credit upon the speaker for ability, and patriotism, and generosity. Mr. Bristow baa now transferred to Hayes all the strength which he himself would have had with the people. II in allk l)nderlolne. dt. Louis Republican.!

"Slippery Sam" slips in. Ewmo's paregoric didn't save the rag baby. The Democratic kite wabblea in apace this morning without a tail. Ohio does not seem to have done its part in the reported Tilden-Payne trade. The Evansville Journal, the leading Democratic paper of Southern Indiana, bolts the nomination, flat. The Cincinnati Enquirer ought to be "mighty interesting reading" to-day. This advertisement is gratuitous. Thhre is a joy too deep for utterance. Possibly this may account for the silence in Democratic ranks last night. Tildeh'h Bcalp will look well on Hayes's belt, along with the gory locks of Thurman, Pendleton and Allen. If all the Democrats could make up their minds to look upon the nominee as Tilden does, they might be happy yet. The nomination of Tilden fell like a funeral pall over the Democracy of this region. That is the plain, unadulterated truth. Ewma for Vice President, with Tilden at the head of the ticket, would be rather a crazy bridge over the chasm. Hendricks could straddle it, though. Any person who is an adept at figuring out Democratic victories can doubtless obtain employment at once by applying at the office of the Cincinnati Enquirer, The Democratic National Convention left part of its work to he done to-day, but that whioh was principally interesting was disposed of yesterday. The dispatches of last night give no sign aa to who will take the second place on the ticket, and give neither satisfaction or discouragement to those who favor a bolt of the Greenback portion of the delegates and a new nomination, A TELEGRAM from Cincinnati, printed elsewhese,s will gratify the public curiosity, to some extent, as to what -i , T : ... . . j I 111, JJUquiier piufJuacB lu uu nuuu, it.

Do not the facts show that the "thieved" are Tilden's friends and not his enemies ? Brooklyn Argus. Sketch .of Saiuuel J. Tilden. Samuel J. Tilden, of New York, who was yesterday nominated for President of the United States by the Democratic Na tional Convention, at Bt. Louis, was born at New. Lebanon, Columbiana county, New York, in the year 1814, and is now about sixtytwo years old. One of his an cestore, Nathaniel Tilden, was ' Mayor of the oily of Tenterden, Kent, England, in 1623. He was succeeded in that office by his cousin John, as h had been preceded by his uncle John in 1585 and 1600, He removed with his family to Scituate, in the colony of Massachusetts, in 1634. His brother Joseph was one of the merchant adventurers of London who fitted out the Mayflower. This Nathaniel Til den married Hannah Bourne, one of whose sisters married a brother ot Uov-ernor Wioslow, and another a son of Governor Bradford. Governor Tilden's grandfather, John Tilden, settled in Columbia county. The Governor's mother waB descended from William Jones, Lieutenant Governor of the colony of New Haven, who in all the histories of Connecticut is represented to have been the Bon of Colonel John Jones, one of the regicide judges of Charles I,, who is said to have married a sister ol Oliver Cromwell and a cousin of John Hampden. The Governor's father was a farmer and merchant of New Lebanon, and is said to have been a man whose ad vice in politics was highly valued by Martiu Van Buren and other men of note. Governor Tilden entered Yale College in 1832, when in his eighteenth year. He had received political education from his father, and before reaching his majority wrote out his views on an attempt at "coalition between National Republicans and anti-Masons" to defeat Jackson and Van Buren. His father was so much pleased with the paper that he exhibited it to Van Buren, and It was subsequently adopted as an address from a ."'nber of leading Democrats and published. lilden soon lelt I ale college ou account of failing health, but resumed his studies in 1831, at the University of New York, where he completed his academic education. While yet a student he achieved success and distinction, as his partisan friends claimed, in an impromptu debate with United States Senator Nathaniel P. Talmage, who had separated from the Democrats on account of the financial policy of Van Buren. The Whigs had invited any Democrats who might deBire to reply to the Senator to express their views, iiiaen was pusneu into the Dreacn Dy ome ol nis leuow students, who were in the rear part of the hall. Tilden studied law in theofticeof John W. Edmunds, of New York city, and at the same time continued his pursuit of politics, making a special study of the financial questions of 1837. His next notable speech-was at New Lebanon on the 3d ol uctooer, Law, in ueiense oi me President's financial scheme. Upon being admitted to the bar Tilden opened a law office on Pine street, New York, and in the Polk campaign in 1S44, in connection with John L. O'Snllivan, founded a newspaper called the Daily News. In 1846 he was sent to the Assembly from New York city, and while a member of that body was elected to a convention to remodel the State Consti tution. After the defeat of Silas Wright in 1840, Tilden devoted himself to the legal profession, inheriting no fortune, as a re cent biographer sayB, and depending upon his own exertions for support; and discerning the importance of pecuniary independence for the successful proBecution of a political career. The first notable case of which mention is made was his Buccessful conduct of a case in which the election of Azariah 0. JF lagg as Citv Comntroller of New York, waB contested by the "Know-Nothing" candidate, in 1855. Tilden was retained by Flagg, and is declared to have been successful in the face of great difficulties. He next figures conspicuously and sue-cessfnlly in the celebrated Burdell Cun- ningham contested i?(ll case. A partial historian says : "There is piobably no caae in which Mr. Tilden has been employed that required the exercise of bo high a range of metaphysical powers, or in which Ins ptnetfatjon of character ap-nunrod in oraatpr advantage. His defense seemed almost a creation, and the result produced the most profound impression as it removed whatever doubt existed in the minds of the people as to Mrs. Cun ningham's participation in the murder of rjurueu. Anions the subsequent ilea? cases in Tilden's practice was bis defense of the Pennsylvania uoai company in in mm with the Delaware and Hudson Canal company. He was also engaged in uie caae of the Cumberland Coal company, in Martland. against ltB Directors, and had a very exteiwiye practice among the great railway corporations of the country. The JNew lorn worm (ueniocrauc;, from which this sketch is compiled, gives Tilden's position at the outbreak of the war as follows: "Till the war came governor Tilden made every effort to avert the rebellion. When his efforts, combined with those of other prominent patriots, had proved abortive, his convictions ot duty were perfectly decided and clear. They were to maintain the integrity of opr territory and the supremacy of the constitutional authorities. He had been educated in the school of Jackson, and bad been a diligent student of the lessons taught by the nullification controversy of 1833, He had studied oarefully and profoundly the relation of the Federal and State governments, and of the citizens of those governments. He had thus early formed perfectly clear and settled opinions, about which his mind never vacillated. They were the opinions of Jackson, of Van Buren, of Wright and of Marcy, with whom, during most of their public lives, he had been on terms of personal intimacy. "DurlnL' the winter of 18(10-61, he at tended a meeting of the leading men of both parties 111 llie city ot JNew jo, to consider what measures were necessary and practicable to avert an armed collis-inn between what were then termed the free and the slave States. To the North he urged reconciliation and forbearance, appreciating as he did more clearly than most of those around him the fearful and disastrous consequences of a civil war, whatever mig'it prove its ultimate result. To the South he urged a deference to the will of the mojurity mid a respect for the provision of the federal constitution, within which they would be sure of ade quate protection for themselves and for their property; but he warned them that outside of the Constitution they could expect protection for neither. "When the war did come Mr. Tilden associated himself with and was the private adviser of Mr. Dean Richmond, then at the head of the Democratic party of this State, and who was accustomed on all important questions to visit Mr. Tilden in his retirement and seek his counsel. "At a meeting held at the bouse of General Dlx, just after the first call of President Lincoln for VO.UOU troops, Mr. Tilden was present and participated in the discussions which took place, He then and there expressed the opinion tha they were on the eve of a great war, an. maintained that instead of 76.000 troop Mr. Lincoln should have called out a Ipftat AOOOnft half fnr immMtikb, Mnlrf and the other half to be put in camps of instruction and trained for impending exigencies." ' The World gives him credit for breaking up the "ring" in New York, which made him prominent in the line of "reform" and brought him out as a candidate for Governor, to which office he was elected by a plurality of 53,315 over John A. Dix. ' In his administration of the office of Governor the chief claim of his friends is that he has ''arrested completely the system of fraudulent expenditure on the canals, which ha had denounced at the bar of public opinion." Mr. Tilden is five feet ten inches in height, and he haa what physiologists call the purely nervous temperament, with its usual accompauiment of spare figure, blue eyes and fair complexion, His hsir, originally chestnut, is now partially silvered with age. SPELTERINI AT NIAGARA. l,atly to (.'roe tbe River aiuirle Hope. New York Herald, led. The great aenBation of the present day in the amusement world is the projected trip across the Niagara river of a young lady, lately arrived from Europe, and known as the Signorina Maria Spelterini The young artiste arrived in New York about two months ago, and has since been quietly making preparations to accom plish the teat ttiat gave Blonuin a world wide reputation. During her stay in this city the Spelterini gave two representations at Jones's Wood, and performed feats on the high roiie one hun dred feet above the ground that at once convinced the spectators of her perfect right to the encomiums she has received from the European press. Some well knowL managers who were present at her initial performance freely expressed the opinion that sue excelled in grace and daring any artiste that haB ever visited this country. A Herald reporter paid Mile. Hnelterinl a visit yesterday after noon, and in course of conversation learned the following facts : She was born in Livorno, Italy, and made her first appear ance in public with her father's company, when she waB three years of age. She performed until she reached tbe age of ten upon the tight rope and then commenced the slack wire and the rolling globe. Iu the two last acts she achieved a brilliant success, performing for two years in Berlin and Vienna. In 1871 she went to Russia and made Buch a grand success upon the high rope that she adopted that branch ot her profession entirely and gave it her sole attention. She is gifted with wonderful nerve, combined with cool daring, and during her entire career has never made a single mistake, although on several occasions she waB only saved from accident by great presence of mind. In 1873, when performing in Surrey GardenB, London, on the day the Alexandria Palace was destroyed by fire, she was standing on the platform waiting to commence ber act when the rope broke and the shuck threw down the pole on the other end. The one supporting the platform on which she Btood rocked violently as her assistant was jumping about and about to throw himBelf oft", but Bhe caught him by the hair of the head and made bim stand etU until assistance was brought and they both landed ou terra firma sufe and sound. On one occasion, when performing at night in Jersey at a height of 125 feet over the bay, a violent thunderstorm arose, frightening everybody in the vicinity, but uhc went through her performance with the lightning flashing' all around her and never for a moment lost her presence of mind. Last year at Oporto she was advertised to carry a boy acroai En her back, a distance of 200 feet, about eighty feet frcu; the ground. The boy disappointed her and Bhe eairied Jier brother across, a gentleman weighing 170 pounds.

He received but few dispatches from St. Louis, and sent none there. This evening, when the Associated Press bulletin dispatch announcing simply, " Tilden nominated on the second ballot," J was received, it was sent up to the Executive Mansion. There were present with the Governor, Comptroller Robinson. State Engineer Van Bu ren and four or five other friends. Mr. Newell took the passage and read it aloud to uie uovernor.

This was also read to the Governor. who then exhibited signs of interest, and inquired if any one knew what the vote was, and what the platform contained. No one present could answer either question. The Governor then drew four or five of those present about him, and in a tone scarcely above a whisper said : "I can tell you what has been done. This nomination was not made by the leaders of the party. It was the people who made it. They want reform. They have wanted it a long while, and in looking about they have be come convinced that it is to be found here, (pointing at himself.) Thev want it. That is what they are after.

Other dispatches were then received.con- veying congratulations from all points of the country, in the midst of which tbe Governor maintained almost stolid im-perturbility.A large number of citizens secured the services of a band of musicians, and at twelve o'clock proceeded to the executive Mansion. Governor Tilden received them. shaking hands with a large number, and receiving their congratulations. The crowd entered the grounds in front of the mansion, when, after repeated calls, the Governor stepped to the door and said : L.ITIZEN8 or Albany : 1 thank vou for thia impromptu expression of your kind regard. During mv residence in vour city the past two years 1 have received many like demonstrations, and I assure you I feel grateful to you.

David Cummings, of the Reformed Episcopal Church, who died near Balti more yesterday, was well' known in Ken-lucky. On the first of June, 1866, while aoting Hector of Trinity Lpiscopal Church, Chicago, he was elected assistant to the venerable Bishop Smith of this di ocese, who had through years become too infirm for thedutitiesol his othce. bishop Smith himself recommended the election of the Assistant Bishop. Rev. Dr. Whit tle, then Kectorof fit. ram s Church, and Rev. Dr. Craik, of Christ Church, were the prominent candidates. A pumber of ballots were taken, and the Convention being unable to make a choice a conference was decided upon, which resulted in bringing forward Rev. G. D. Cummings, who was elected on the first ballot, receiving all the votes cast except two. He continued to fill this position until November 10, 1873, when he Bent to Bishop Smith his letter of withdrawal. Upon his withdrawal he founded the Reformed Episcopal Church, and has since devoted to it his talent and energies, iimmanuel Ueformed fcipisoopal Church is the only one of the denomination in this city. Olhers have been established in other cities, but Bishop Cummings has not had nn extensive following.

If the Democrats concede that it is nec essary for them to carry Ohio in the Octo ber election (and they scarcely deny ltj in order to hope for success in the nation al election a month later, they may as well abandon the light now, and permit the sweltering delegate at Hi. Louis to seek cooler quarters. They haven't a man in their parly, in Ohio or out of Ohio, who can make any headway against the cause of Mr. Hayes. Hayes is the man whom the Republicans have always called on to beat the favorite Democratic sons of Ohio. He has beaten Thurman, Pendleton, and Bill Allen whenever any of tbem ran against him, and there ib uo question about his doing it again. Certainly these are the strongest men the Democrats have in Ohm, and, il they are not able to oope with Hayes, how can they expect any leaner lights of the State to outshine him ? Mr. Hayes's perennal popularity, and the pride which the Ohioans feel in him, will render it simply imposBible for any outsider to make a headway against him. lihlen and Hen dricks would be equally powerless in this, and with such a man as Dayis, or Hun-cock, or Joel 1'Hrker, the number of Onio Ulemocrats who would vote lor Hayes could be oounted by the thousand. Though all thiB has been apparent from the moment Mr. Hayes was nominated, the reflection has been brought up anew by the enthusiastic reception given him at his quiet home in Fremont, in which the whole neighborhood participated without distinction of party, and by the roua-ing mass meeting held Saturday night at Cincinnati which was addressed by ex-Gov. Koyes and ex-Secretary Bristow. In the utterances at that meeting and their reception by the people may be felt the great personal Btrength of the Republican Presidential candidate in bis own State a State that happens to be one of the two most important in the approaching election. Gov. Noyes reproduced the familiar likeness of Hayes in these words: "1 have known bim, aB you have, long and well. At tbe bar, in the army, in the domestic circle, among his friends, in public life, 1 know that his private character is above reproach, as pure and spotless aa the unsullied ouow, and that his public career challenges criticism from the most exacting of his opponents; he ie brave and prompt to do his duty, re-gardlesB of personal consequences, and possesses practical common sense enough for half a dozen Presidents. He hae made no mistakes." Such wordB coming from a man like Noyes, who is himBelf known to the Ohio people for hiB dignity and uprightness of character, are of more avail than the most brilliant panegyric ever clothed in glittering periods. "He lias made no mistakes." It is an epitome of Hayes's private life and his public oareer, which might well he posted ou every Republican banner and transparency during the campaign. It tells the whole story. It means that there has been no act of his life which can be assail ed. It means that, in bis long years of public service, he bas uot by neglect, inadvertence, incompetence, nr from any other cause, done or omitted to do anything for which he can be blamed. He is the very type of man, in this reBpect, that the people of the United StateB demand at the present time. With hia election as President, there will be a return to the quiet, peaceful, and dutiful pursuit of good liovernment without personal OBlen' tation. It Bounds like old times to hear Noves talk ss follows : "He is in full sympathy with the spirit of reform which seems to have taken pos session of the public mind, and under his administration public thieves and rascals will not prosper and grow rich. He haB exemplified in all his life that heiBOODns ed to Bhams and vain shows of every sort; to that extravagant manner of livinu whioh has resulted iu the downfall of so many public men, and which haB invaded almost every avenueof private life. When he enters the White House, as he is sure to do, he will bear himself with the same quiet modesty as though he were paBsiug tbe threshold of his quiet home at Fremont, There will be no kingly pageants to mock the simplicity of republican in- DIED.

It iB not likely he will ever be seen on the avenue four-in-hand, and it ib certain that nis friends. asBociates and advisers will be selected from men of nrj- right character and high attainments. He will labor for the pacification and prosperity of the South: for the enforcement of the law; for the honest payment of the nation s ueuts; tor honest money, for retrenchment, economy and reform in' tbe civil service of the country. He will have a dignified, able and honest administration, which will command the confidence and subserve the interests of the people." This is the sort of an Administration, and thia the kind of President, the people have been demanding ever Hince the ex posure ol omcial corruption in Washing ton, ever eince the reaction set in against the speculation and extravagance that grew out of the war, ever since the neces sity ot resuming the old-time simplicity has been apparent as the only means of assuring Republican Government. JNothing was needed to strengthen Hayes in Ohio, but the appearance of ex- Secretary Bristow at the Cincinnati meeting, and the hearty, sincere, and enthusiastic support he gave the candidacy of Mr. Hayes, will Bpread all over the united Mates and leave a deep im pression wherever it is read. Bristow was talking to the whole country. As ha said in a modest and cursory allusion to uimsen, which ue maae in order lo return thanks for the cordial support he had re ceived from the people in the reform workB he had undertaken, he haa been "the representative of an idea. principle which dies near the hearts of the people." It was this fact that induced thousands of people to whom Bristow is personally unknown, and who had scarcely heard of him two years ago, to insist upon his nomination at Cincinnati almost as a sine qua non of their supporting the Republican party. A very large number of Mr. Bristow's strongesl friends, indeed, would not havesupporteil any other of the candidates exoept Hayes. Now, when their representative pat- cj.ee!'-fence of the principle of reforming the public Bervice takes the Brat proper occasion, and certainly the most eflective way, ol declaring his confidence that Mr. Hayes iB the man of all others to carry out and enforce the policy which Bristow bas made so popular, the declaration is one of great import. It will reach out North and South, J,ast and West, and gather in all people who are devoted to the cause of reform. Mr. Bristow's speech was val uable, also, as being an able review and approving analysis of the Cincinnati platform; and, as a Southern man, the follow ing has a Bpecial significance: 'Ihe position of the Republican nartv to-day presents an opportunity for the complete obliteration of such "lines. It appeals to no prejudice and invokes no sectional bate. It plants its banner high on the ramparts of freedom, and invites the people of every section and condition to full and equal enjoyment of all civil and political rights. The old Henry Clay Whigs and Douglas Democrats of. the South, inspired by that love of the Uuion which animated the bosoms of their ureal leaders, should stand shoulder to shoul- ler with us in this Centennial year. Thev are no lees interested than ourselves in preserving the Union and Demetuaticg the blessings of freedom. Let them bury the hurtful prejudices engendered by civil war, and once more to the front with their old allies and political friends, who will gladly welcome them. 'The platform and candidates of the Republican party are worthy the sunoort of every man of the South who is willing to torgei me DilternesBof the past, or who has within hiB boBom a spirk of patriotic hope for the future of our common country and indissoluble Union. There is no substantial reason why every man who has acted with the Republican parly may not stand on the Cincinnati platform and support the nominees. Applause What ever cause of difference may have existed heretofore are brushed away by the wine and timely action of the late Convention."There will probably be no more effective speech for Hayes during the entire campaign than Bristow has made, and i character is Buch as to reflect great credit upon the speaker for ability, and patriotism, and generosity.
