The country owes a debt of gratitude to 
I 
rank Blair for his successful efforts to 
i 
reak up the Democratic party. His oyin*a_

• cent" amendments which they have no 
• option about; his readiness to accept any 
• 
Democratic nomination where he can do that 
• 
i*arty harm by appearing to serve it—all 
• :hese things show that Prank ia a friend of 
• 
bat freedom he advocated many years ago, 
_d that he is playing the rels of Mephis-
.philes to the Democracy, showing it where 
:.i damn itself most utterly. This is very 
«.v, but novel in American politics. It fa 
tactical Machiavellian. With Frank Blair, 
-uifene Cssseriy, and Tom Bayard still 
aid, the old Democratic hulk is always 
•It ring, but never quite gone down. 
Tiity keep it up to protect the Administra-
ti'CU. 
Ihtn. Voorheea, also, is chagrined to see 
the turn things are taking. He wants the 
I>. :uocratie party to take hia life for a piat-
. form—much rant and no verdict; a great 
deal of Dan and certain Beersheba.

It has taken the New York fViesse several 
mouths to discover that Peter*©. Sweeney is 
a thief. Thievery would never have had a 
chance in New York but for this man, who 
bore the relation to Tweed and 'Connolly 
that Father Fagin did to Bill Sykes and the 
Artful Dodger. Sweeney was altogether the 
worst thief in the set, because his fair legal 
knowledge, and experience with statute 
legislation, qualified him to discover how 
felonies might be done within the pale of the 
law, or how the law might be amended a* as 
to make fraud easy. From 1865 to 1867,1 pub-
lished a newspaper in New York City, in as-
sociation with a man who started this whole 
tight which has so entirely revolutionised 
civic politics, and given the dsath'blow to 
the hopes of the reactionary nattonal party,

worst man he had ever known* I possess at 
present a copy of Churchill's poems, on the 
fly-leaf of which Halpine wrote in lead-
pencil some references. It was his own copy 
ot Churchill, whom he admired as a satirist 
ipon the political foibles of a certain time; 
ud, having to write a great deal himself of 
the same sort, he brought into use this loag-
foreotten model.

I turned to page at, and found the following

Mr. Jones, it is a great waste/of machin-
ery and inventiv.. uess to see a press oom-
pos«d of ao many thousand pioeosthat osly 
ononnopi in the soitntry can i x it. Muat the 
newspapers bo alwsy* subject to such * 
frightful mouoply as that of Colonel Hoef 
" well," he replied," there ia au Gagliah 
press, now used by the London TieMS, which 
I sent my son to look at, eeveral mouths ago. 
It is cal%l the Walter prees. He took up his 
abed*' in London, and watohed it work, night 
after night. It satisnee the English, and is 
of simple construction—printing one side, 
and then returning to print the other; but 
we found that it would not print both sides 
true, and, by a lateral motion, made a blur 
almost every time, so that we could not em-
ploy it." 
I could not help thinking at the titns how 
this relative experience showed the superior 
mechanical eonacientiousntaa of the Ameri-
can newspapers over the English; what the 
London Tbmm found good enough, the New 
York Ti»M* was obliged to discard to satisfy 
the move fastidious reading public here in 
America.

At the same club, Major Bnndy gave me 
an interesting account too long to stint with 
your present resource*—of the inside opera-
tions of the Committee of Seventy, oreated 
by the citizens against Tammany. When 
the first meeting of this spontaneous som-
mitfoe was called, the large proportion of 
fifty-six members appeared, sometimes it 
was even greater than this; and, for weeks 
of nights, them devoted private citizens' sat 
i n session, sometimes from S o'clock p. uL,untd 
2 in the mornins, hearing evidence of every 
description, preparing for t<iat mighty cam-
paign which annihilated even the electiou-
district system of Tweed and Sweeney. But 
one member of the eemmibtee proved to be a 
trattor, and this was Judge Led with. Bnndy 
said that, in the light of this man's educa-
tion, his low forehead, his necessities, and 
more than &&* * feer.'tk wanno* wimder-
ful that he recanted. Tammany offered him

With a copy of Halpine's poora* before me, 
I find plenty of material pertinent to this 
time in New York civie politics. That no-
body else has thought to recollect this man's 
memory and do him justice, I mourn over. 
Here are a few stanzas from Ms different 
a Judgeship, with % salary of flSJ^ayaar, 
for fourteen years; and tie poor, dull devil 
threw away his right to be one of the eotn-
mitteeof victorious eitisena for this brilliant 
decoration. Down he went, and his mistake 
and ignominy cannot be too vividly brought 
forward as a warning to other poor men who 
hear the devil promise t h a i the world at the 
expense of their own souls, 
N E X T SXSSXOX. . 
Everybody says we will have a fiery ses-
sion of Congress. Superficial observers may 
think that th* superarmndant power of the 
Republican party will 
make 
President 
Grant's calMnf aai election surs ; but pub-
lic men see in the Democratic annihilation the 
certainty of that natural division which, a 
party without an opponent, must come to. 
The country is not pronounced in its adhe-
sion to any one man. The double-term sys-
tem is annexions to the beat thinkers mil 
observers, who feel that th* wide girth of 
the country, It* mighty needs, and its illim-
itabis army of onfoe-holders, constitute a 
potential reason why the President should 
not propose his own nomination, and muster 
his court and Creations to affect it. The 
Constitution 
of the 
United 
State* 
will be amended before 
many years 
upon this 
matter. 
T her* will be a 
longer term of office to the President, but 
only one term. It is a cowardly nee of op-
portunities to so* the Chief Magistrate, in 
the last months of his first term, bending the 
vast energies of his position to set himself in 
the saddle again. The United States never 
contained so many able statesmen as at this 
moment, Popular education, a prosperous 
S
orhaiism, and an incomparable system of 
teroommunioation, have elevated the whole 
body o* thoji*ople to m latclhgenoe such as 
the. balk of no country ever7dJ*l!*»y*d he-
iore. l u S S * cdh^ri6n oTsortrtyTlew men 
are no longer H>i**Mjil». A yomg man from 
college, well trained us principles and 
faculties, is capable of meeting the old 
politician on a matter of economical 
merit or national reform. Men dissatisfied 
with the low type of our rulers go about 
asking tiie question, " Whom shall we take!" 
We cannot go amiss to take any man who has 
experience, elasticity, progress, and integrity 
Qualifying him to direct us. The party or 
the movement win eh shall 
man weald do well to put 
next year, a pronouncement 
end firm of office. The pool 
of their administration; and those who think 
it well to continue it have no better apology 
to make than that it had been expected to 
do worse. Thus we stand: million* of men, 
instinct 
with 
life, 
an*tri|y. and pur-
a
e, 
tied th a Directory which son 
y 
comprehend us when 
we rear 
but cannot think with us, talk with us, or 
feel with us, exeeot by a blind cunning which 
aeisee upon a morsel of out thought* to re-
erect itmaf. 
How much worse can this ad-
ministration be in the next f s w y a t n s f 
lassitude and euro imauMrlin. when it has 
failed so much to oomprehend us during the 
fear years in which it ha* boon on trial. The 
great victory to be accomplished between 
1873 and th* great centennial we expect in 
18*8, will be the recovery of the Demosratto 
voters to the bosom ef the nation, end a new 
enthusiasm for the State as it is to become. 
Yietawy, apparent victory, might do this— 
such a victory as the beaten elements could

tained on policies. There is reason to believe 
that claims against the bankrupt companies are 
being bought up by the debtors of the companies 
for the purpose of offsetting thetr debto to the 
companies both for borrowed money and for un-

the policies have been sold tor 10 cents on thedol-

than to use these claims for offsetting their debts 
to the companies for leans and for unpaid stock! 
It is not Improbable also, that this is the plan 
which the stockholders of the Republto may fate 
for paying up

LITTLE FALLS. N. Y., NOV. 38.—There was a 
brisk trade te farm-dairies thta week, but fac-
tories were rather dull. 
The deliveries of farm-
dairies at railroad aad canal was 1,002 boxes. 
In prices there is little or ao change, the range 
being from 11 to 191-to. 
The bulk at sales may 
bequoted at from 12c to 12 3-4C. 
There was a goodly number of factories repre-
sented, the offerings amounting to upward of 
8,000 boxes, about half of which were sold. As 
prioes were not quite up to the views of sellers, 
many preferred to hold for the present, in expec-
tation ef an advance in rates. 
The following transact ions to leading facwrtes 
will give a good Idea of the tone of the market: 
Henderson Association, 13 3-tc; Herkimer County 
Central, 13 S-4c ; Bliss, 12c; Caryl, 13 l-3c; Cold 
Brook, 181-3o; Cold Creek, 131-3c; Taylor, 18c; 
Peek, 13 1-to; Cdequago, 39o; Manhelm Centre, 
18 l-3c; Lacy, 18c; Manhelm, 19 l-4c ; Middleville, 
18 3-SO; Danube CoM Springs, 18 l-3c; Dairy Hill, 
IS l-3o; Columbia Centre, 18 l-4c 
Butter came in quite freely, and sales were 
made at from 35c to 38c. according to quality. 
At the Herkimer Village market the delivery 
_ * » « * * *fli??":zr.» 
The highest price for farm 
was about .BO ouAe». 
' "** *• n o * k>t, 
dairies was 13 l-3o, with the exoepuw^ - . 
which brought 18c. The bulk of sales went at 
from 11 l-ac to lie. The range for factory was 
from 18c to 18 6-80. 
The weather has been mild, with light flurries 
ef snow. On Friday there was a bleak wind from 
Ike east, and enow. 
I. H. W. 
The port of Toledo has been under a compare 
five blockade for several days past, and since 
Monday several cargoes of lumber have been 
laying outside awaiting entrance. 
Unless an un-
usual rise of water occurs there is no chance for 
these vessels reaching their point of discharge 
short of lightering a greater portion of their 
cargoes. Quite a number of vessels which loaded 
at that port and are outward bound are tn a 
similar dilemma, ana it is not improbable that 
unlrea the barrier to that place is removed, toe 
access to its wharves before the approach of an-
other season will be shnt out altogether. 
—The expedition' which went to the rescue of 
the Evergreen City, ashore at Long Point, teie-
gi'Hphed from Port Bowan, Thursday evening, 
that she had gone to pieces, and the party were 
on the eve of returning homeward. A consider-
able portion of her outfit has been saved, and it 
is quite probable that her engine will also tie re-
covered. She had been for many years in the 
Buffalo and Chicago trade, and had seen sixteen 
years' servfre on the lakes. 
—Mr. McEwen, the brother of Captain Me-. 
Ewen, of the Eli Bates, who went to Ashtabula 
to look after a man that was said to have been 
washed ashore near that place, has returned to 
Buffalo. Mr. McEwen travelled along the beach 
for miles, but discovered nothing except two 
boats without names. The man that was said to 
have come ashore proved to be Mr. Thayer, the 
survivor of fhe Juliette. The fate of the Bates is 
still a profound mystery. 
—The senconer St. Peter, laden with eoal for 
Detriot port, during thick weather Thursday 
night, went ashore at toe Clay Banks, at a point 
known as Oxford. Up to the latest advices she 
had sustained no serious damage, and It was 
thought that, by lightering, should the weather 
continue favorable, she can be pulled off. The 
tug Hector, well equipped, went to her relief. 
—The steamer Andrew Johnson made repeated 
efforts, on Wednesday, to relieve the scow Lau-
rel, ashore at Sheboygan, but failed, having part-
ed every available line te the attempt. The Lau-
rel is full of water, and leaks so badly that her 
own pumps will not free her. The deck-load of 
lumber has been tended ou the beach. 
—The bark Bed White and Blue, while entering 
the Detroit Elver, on Friday morning, te a tow 
with six others, by some means ran hard aground 
on the Bois Blanc Island. She Is coal laden, and 
will doubtless have to lighter before getting off. 
The tug Wilcox, with a hawser/went to her assist-
ance. 
—Nearly all the steam pumps and wrecking 
apparatus stationed at Detroit are again absent, 
including the steamer Magnet with her equip-
ments. The latter Is at work on the south shore 
of Lake Erie. The others are mostly st Long 
Point. 
—The crew of the schooner Gold Hunter, which 
was cast adrift from the steamer Prince Alfred, 
were saved. The vessel went ashore and became 
a total loss. Captain Shanks aud J. Polford, of 
Windsor, owned equal interests in her, which 
were insured. She was built at Milford, Out., in 
1868, was 319 tons burden, aad valued at 97,000. 
r-A sailor named Frederick Mc Dermont,a native 
of Dublin, Ireland, was lost overboard from the 
schooner Emma A. Mayes, during a gale, last 
Friday evening. 
The accident occurred some 
ten miles above Lexington, ou Lake Huron. 
—The Brig 8e* GuULwhichjwas damaged by col-
lision with a bank te Point au Petee passage, and 
was uncared for with a flag of distress 
flying 
three days, was picked up, by the tug Hercules 
and towed to Toledo, her destination. 
- T h e schooner Owareo, which laftDetrolt mtitm 
days since with supplies for AlAhawter.Ureported 
on Atebcrtor reef, about one mile from the har-
bor, but at test advices was to no danger. A tug 
was near at head capable of getting her afloat. 
—The renoouer Eagle Wing, laden with iron ore 
from Eeeaaaba, is ashore in the Straits, on what 
IS known as Graham Shoals. The tug Leviathan 
went te her relief, with good prospect of success . 
—The expedition which set out from Detroit 
some days since to rescue the brig Saxon at Long 
Point, have returned, the vessel proving to be a 
total wreck. 
—A large fore-end-aft vessel is sunk two miles 
from Thunder Bay light, with portions of her 
topmast out of water. At present there is no 
meanB of knowing the name of the vessel, or 
whether her erew were saved. 
—The brig Be* Gutt, while lying at- anchor Ave 
miles west ot Point A* Pelee, collided with the 
bark Dobbins, and test her mainsail aud 
—The schooner A. Boody; ashore on North Har-
bor Beef, is reported as fast going to pieces. 
—The barge Comet is ashore at Menominee, 
where she will remain all winter.-MUwaulue 
Sentinel. Nov. 34. 
—A large (Awse-*jnd-*fter was recently seen oa 
North Harbor asset With too signal of distress 
~r&e schooE or Limb is reported on the whale's 
Back, in OreenBsy, and in bad shape.
