O Connor been nominated for Attor- ney General, and for the balance of toe ticket men of the same calibre, we should not only have polled a full voce but would have drawn heavily from the Republicans." That is the general judgement. -—The Tammany Ring of New York stole considerable less than the carpet-bag State officers of South CarBna, and yet the latter are con sidered pinks of honesty by the Rad- icals. While the Reform movement is on foot, let us have the war against thieves and villains carried into Afri- ca. There are no more appropriate subjects for investigation than the carpet-bag rulers of the South. —The difference in the mode of dealing with corruptionists in the Radical party and in the Democratic is well illustrated in the result of the election for County Judge in Che- nango county. To the convention which nominated the Radical candi- date for that office charges were pre- sented, supported by affidavits, show- ing that Mr. Prindle had made his office a mill of extortion, yet he was nominated and re-elected. No mercy is shown to corruptionists in the Democratic party, but the suspicion of fraud or knavery attached to a Radical candidate makes him the pet of his party and assures his election. Thieving politicians will take notice that the only party in which they will be sustained in their thefts is the Radical. | "Men and Brethren," read the arti- cle from the pen of Horace Greeley in the New York Tribune on the rot- of Radical rule in the South- i States printed elsewhere. Pending the recent election Republicans as eminent as Wm. M. Evarta threaten- ed vigilance committee rule in New York, and Republicans in Brooklyn are threatening the same thing in that city now, as a means of riddance of the thieves who are plundering the people. Mr. Greeley admits that in North and South Carolina, under Radical rule, "the robberies appear to have been as gigantic, when the relative wealth of the respective COOK muuitoss is considered, as in this [New York] city." And yet the peo- ple of South Carolina are blamed, and President Grant declares martial law upon them, because they have by vigilance committee rid themselves of white and black scoundrels who have been robbing them. Afters perusal of Mr. Greeley's article we think no candid Republican will be disposed to censure very severely those senth era men who resort to the only pos- seven millions of legal tenders in cir- culation, worth in the market eighty nine cents on the dollar. In less than three years Boutwell has shipped to England, to buy bonds due in 1881, and locked up in the vaults of the Treasury over three hundred and eighty two millions in gold.

Eaton, who was struck down by an assassin over a year ago at his own door in New York, was heard from a few days ago in Southern Europe, still in ex- ceedingly feeble health, and not likely for years, if ever, to be able to re- sume active-professional work. Be- fore the blow he was as vigorous a man as could be found in the whole legal profession. —The New Orleans Republican says: "During Friday night a woman named Laura Hudson was beaten to death in her bed on a plantation four miles above Carrollton, right bank.

It will be seen that the result of the election gives the Republicans six of the nine members comprising the Canal Board. ' \ •>T —Yesterday, so says the Rochester Union, the freight conductors and brakemen on freight trains on the middle division of the New York Central Railroad struck for higher wages and extra pay when they "doubled" the road, and the conse- quence was that freight trains were unable to move and an accumulation of trains took place at this point. The difficulty was ended this morn- ing by the company acceeding to the demands of the strikers. At noon to- day all was moving regularly on the division. The conductors were re- ceiving fifty dollars a month and de- manded sixty with extra pay for extra work. The brakemen were get- ting forty dollars per month and de- manded fifty. It is stated that the officers of the company were afraid that the employment of the Western Division would strike and word was sent to them not to—that their wa.es would be advanced.
