THE FENIANS IN NEW YORK.

The patriotism of the Fenian Brotherhood, it is well-
known, is by no means so elevated as to despise material
considerations. A suit is now going on in New York, in
which the notorious Head-Centre O'Alabony is concerned.
In 1865, when Fenianism was in the ascendant, a sum of
$20,000 was deposited with a New York bank " in trust
for the brotherhood." The Fenians want to get possession
of this, but the bankers refuse to give it up. O'Mahony
is his own counsel, but his eloquence has as yet failed to
convince the receiver that the deposed head-centre is the
proper repre.sentative of the brotherhood.

AMERICAN AFFAIRS.

(From the Anglo-American Times.)
NEW Yortic, July 'l7.

Our hero of the week is James Gordon Bennett
(junior), and the occasion, the rapid run of the
Dauntless to Queenstown. We were all as surprised
as pleased on hearing of this exploit, and Oakey
Hall, our Mayor, in a fit of enthusiasm, telegraphed
from his residence, Milburn, New Jersey, to fire 100
guns in front of the City Hall in honour of the
event, au order promptly obeyed. We hope to have
more guns fired soon to celebrate the triumph of
our Harvard boys who started for England in the
City of Paris, leaving a very favourable impression
in New York, as being fitted physically for the
work they have to do and their ability to do it, as
well as for their gentlemanly bearing. In the same
steamer were Colonel Hay, Secretary of the Spanish
Legation, and General M‘Millan. Mr. Farnie, the
English actor, and Madame Testa have left in the
French steamer for Brest. By the way, Mr.
Dominic Murray has given his account of the fracas
between him and Mr. Tayleure, Fisk's manager (I
only wish Fisk had a keeper). According to Mr. Mur-
ray, be foolishly went into a corner at the request
of Mr. Tayleure, and there and then he was affec-
tionately taken round the neck by that gentleman
as a preparatory measure to being gouged. Mr.
Murray's eye was slightly bruised, but he escaped,
and then began to roar outside for his antagonist
to " come on," who, instead, proceeded to Jefferson
Market police-court to take out a summons against
Mr. Murray for having assaulted him. It is evident
that Mr. Murray did write an impertinent letter toMr.
Tayleure from London, but he alleges provocation,
and denies most emphatically ever having sought,
threatened, or menaced Mr. Tayleure. The affair
has received quite as much attention as it deserves,
for these rencontres are discreditable both to the
stage and to our city,• and the more so, that they
have occurred to foreigners. Some cases alleging
fraud against men in good positions have attracted
attention ; one was examined last Saturday for de-
frauding the Government as weigh-master in the
Custom-house, but he was discharged, as sufficient
evidence was not forthcoming to convict legally,
though the case looked bad. The accused is a
son of ex-Senator Doolittle. Another charge of the
same sort has been brought against the son of Sena-
tor Van Winkle, of West Virginia, and others have
been summoned to explain similar transactions. In
the course of time Congressman Jenckes will be able
to accumulate quite a heavy weight of testimony, if
not in favour of his own scheme to reform the Civil
Service, at least to show the rottenness of our pre-
sent system. Your English readers must fancy such
charges levied against the sons of Peers, for al-
though our Senatorial swells have not reached to
the permanent dignity of the hereditary legislators,
nor are we quite such flunkeys as the worshippers
of a lord, yet a United States Senator occupies the
most dignified position in the country, and, politi-
cally speaking, has far greater power than a British
peer. Sanford, the cashier of the Central Na-
tional Bank, is said to have committed suicide, but
the police do not believe it, nor do they think that he
has left New York, though it is asserted that he
has sailed for Europe. The bank appears to be
all right, business progressing there as usual. A
drunken Irishman, named Roche, long a resident in
this state, committed a horrible crime on Tuesday
at Towkinsville, Staten Island. He was employed
as a shoemaker by Mr. Harrington, with whom he
boarded. Maddened with liquor the wretch entered
the adjoining room, whefe the two daughters of his
employer slept, and cut the throat of the eldest, a
beautiful girl of thirteen years, who was as good as she
was pretty. He endeavoured then to get hold of the
other, who fle I down stairs so rapidly that she fell.
Her father rushing
up entered the room, and seiz-
ing the body of his dead child hurried to a doctor.
Meeting a friend, as the disturbance had created
an alarm, he told him the deed had been done by a
man up stairs, when he ascended with a stick to
capture the murderer, whom he found lying on his
face, with his throat cut, in the shop whither he
had hurried screaming, and flourishing his bloody
knife in his fit of delirium tremens. The Cubans,
over whom an extinguisher has been placed by the
proceedings of the President, have had to witness
gunboat after gunboat launched from the shipyard
of the Messrs. Poillon for the Spanish Government.
They are greatly annoyed with things in general,
and U. S. Marshal Barlow in particular. They
have been stirred up to action against him on
learning that the President was expected at Long
Branch, and flank attacks are being arranged by
which they hope to teach the Marshal what New
York officials are to expect when they do their
duty. Our President is not easily influenced, how-
ever, and I do not suppose Mr. Barlow is in much
danger. The one hundred and twenty fillibusters
who got away June 23 came back in a brig named
the A. Eldred, having bad enough of Cuba in a
short time, indeed I may say, a very short time,
for they only landed, had a brush with the Spa-
niards, and hearing that cholera and yellow fcvcr
were raging in the insurgent camp decided it was
better to return. The best thing the friends of
liberty could do would be to give these patriots
an ovation, for they have shown the better part of
valour, and instead of wasting themselves m a conten-
tion with plague, the heroes have preserved themselves
to fight again ; I only hope that they have not
brought cholera back with them. Three cases have
been admitted, and there is a suspicious increase in
the death rate which has given--a hundred more
than that of last week. I fear that the next return
will show no diminution, and prove that cholera
really has some hold on the city. The filthy state
in which the streets are kept, the unhealthy way in
which people are huddled together in the lower
parts of the town, and the failure of the city officials
efficiently to do their work, may lead to a serious
outbreak ; but it is cholera, not yellow fever that
threatens. Many cases of cholera morbus have
ended fatally during the week, and in Staten Island
there is great alarm. The rush is to Long Branch
in pursuit of our President, who will have quite a
nice time, more especially to a modest, unassuming,
smoking person like him. Ile ought to send out
young Fred to draw off 'attention, a 3 that young
gentlenv.' has lately distinguished himself by rescu-
ing horn "aning his little cousin Sharpe. The
sporting event: of the wed: has be, n the trotting
match between the American Girl and Lady Thorn,
who take rank after Dexter, now withdrawn from
the turf. These horses contended for a purse of
$2,500; mile heats ; the best three in five in har-
ness, over the Fashion Course, Long Island. The
American Girl won the first two, lost the third, and
won the fourth heat ; the second being very close.
The American Girl, however, proved decidedly
faster, and justified the opinion of the public, the
betting being 2 to 1 on her before the first heat) the

odds advancing as the race progressed. Newport
is not such a favourite resort this year as formerly,
at least to .New Yorkers, Long Branch being the
more fashic•nable, and Rockaway, Coney Island,
and West Point drawing large numbers ; even
Saratoga :has fewer New York visitors this year.
The commercial event this week has been the
proceedings against the Wall-street brokers for
the infringemel it of the usury laws. Reports have
been flying about the whole week, but it is cer-
tain that action is progressing against many pro-
minent brokers in Wall-street, and true bills have
been found against ten men of mark. The fact
is, that trade has suffered by the conspiracies to
lock up green'aack currency, and rur up rates to a
point of usury ruinous to those who, being caught
. unprovided, are compelled to pay any price to
escape bankruptcy. Traders fearing the action of
these conspirators are moving vigorously, and the
Judges are caling the attention of grand juries to
, the offence. Bad or good, it is the law of this land
that 7 per cent. per annum is the limit for interest
on money loaned or debts incurred; yet it is noto-
rious that those caught "short" have been com-
pelled to pay rates ranging over 150 per cent. The
World condemns the law, asserting it to be wrong
that those who have violated it should be subr. oenaed
to answer charges. I imagine that the World takes
but a contracted view of this matter, or it would
not pronounce it to be wrong in Judges to enforce
the law, more especially in such case the accused
being among our wealthy and iefluential citizens.
Where the World errs is in mixing up the law and
its enforcement. Those clothed with power to carry
into effect a law cannot be wrong in doing so,
though the law may be wrong, which is a matter
for the consideration of the Legislature, not for the
consideration of the officer whose business it is to
enforce it. Judges M'Cunn and Sutherland have
come to loggerheads ; the one committing a defen-
dant for contempt and again remanding him after
be bad been released on ,a writ of Habeas Corpus
by the other. Justice Dowling, too, has come down
like a hawk on an attorney practising in his court ;
the attorney is said to be!ong to the class known as
" Tombs' Sharks," insatiable monsters, which swim
about in shallow but troubled waters, gobbling up
green-horns from the country, newly-arrived im-
migrants, and unwary New Yorkers. The attorney
replied with a to quoque to the Judge's accusation,
telling him he was a defamer and a conspirator.
An orange procession marched to the Courtland-
street Ferry, to the music of " Croppies lie down,"
the " Boyne Water," the " Protestant Boys," to
the intense delight and satisfaction of our Irish
Celtic immigrants. They must have imagined them-
Iselves again in the north of their native isle, and pro-
ceeded to act as is there customary. The Orangemen
' got over to New Jersey, where their train left undera
shower of stones, to which little attention was paid,
but on their return, while marching down the
Bowery, a more serious attack was made, and one
man was very severely injured, and many slightly.
Gen. Sheridan left for Washington last Monday. The
Governor elect of Virginia, Mr. Walker, has just left
the St. Nicholas Hotel. General Longstreet passed
through on his way to Saratoga, and on Wednesday
was at the Astor House. On Tuesday the Hon.
John Rose left for Canada. Both Secretary Fish
and Mr. Thornton gave dinners to the Canadian
Minister, inviting the chief officials in Washington
to meet him. The Toronto Globe remarks :—" If
the cause of his retirement is correctly reported,
the relinquishment of his seat in the House of Com-
mons will speedily follow. It is said that he will
leave Canada to take a position as partner in a great
London banking-house." The Seventh Regiment
left on Wednesday evening with some guests in the
City of Hartford, on an excursion ; they go to
Troy, whence they will proceed by special train to
Saratoga, where their quarters will be the Union
Hotel. Aftera big ball and grand review, by Gover-
nor Hoffman and Staff, they go to Albany, and finally
are to return to this city to-day. At Saratoga, by
the way, while the brave are parading, the fair are
mounted on platforms, screaming for their rights.
There is there at present a great Woman Suffrage
Convention; Mrs. Page was elected president ; Miss
Anthony was, of course, present, as she intends to
die a spinster on a platform, fighting for her rights.
The president said that, as long as there were men
like Fred Douglass, Langston, and others left out,
the women had some decent companionship ; but
the coloured company having been taken in, they
felt all the more inclined to resent being barred out.
Miss Anthony objected to being treated like a doll,
1 but she did not name the base man who had attempted
to subject her to this indignity. Had she done so
he would have been reckoned a curiosity, and a
considerable amount of travel undertaken to see
him. She had maintained her position in the move-
ment, she said, for 20 years, and it may be that it
was this attempt to make a doll of her which
drove her into it. Here is a sample of the
sort of accidents constantly occurring in our
harbour. Mrs. Russell, married daughter, baby,
and boy, were paddling home in a boat on Wed-
nesday, when the baby fell overboard. The mother
instantly precipitated herself into the water, and
when both were drowning Mrs. Russell added her-
self to the group, none remaining but the little boy,
six years of age, who sensibly stuck to the boat,
and worked with an oar till he got hold of his
grandmother and kept her head above water till
some fishermen arrived ; but the married daughter
and infant were drowned, and it is doubtful whether
M's. Russell will recover. Burglary with us is
approaching a science ; the way in which banks are
broken into and funds stolen is only equalled by
the way in which robbers return documents they
find of no use to themselves. Of the bonds stolen
from the Seamen's Savings' Bank '20,000 dollars
were returned as not negociable, the Bank be-
ing informed by a note that they would be found
in a box at 15, Howard-street, which proved to
be the case, though the owner of the premises did
not know how they came there. The Masonic
Lodges have been the latest sufferers, several hav-
ing been robbed on Thursday of $2,000 worth of
jewels and ornaments. The weather has been the
warmest known for some time, and the heat is gene-
ral over the country. Sunstrokes are numerous,
both here and in Washington ; the thermometer in
the latter city actually rose to 101 deg. yesterday,
and several sunstrokes are reported. It seems to
have frightened our board of health, for after a
special meeting yesterday some gangs of labourers
were set to work to sweep the streets. The vessel
has been raised which was sunk by the ilussia in
May last; the passengers of that ship have tele-
graphed that they have arrived safely in Queens-
town after making the fastest passage on record,
and it appears but yesterday that I saw the Cu-
narder depart.

WASHINGTON, July 16.
Mr. Walker, the newly-elected Governor of Vir-
ginia, has been here, and has left us to visit New
York. Great satisfaction is felt generally at the
result of the election both in Virginia itself and
outside that State, although the extreme Radicals
regard it with fear, and are working hard to have it
neutralized in Ccngress. Mr. Walker is thought
highly of ; he is a young man for the position he
has attained, being under 40, a lawyer, a Douglas
Democrat before the war, and a Republican since.
He calls himself a Conservative-Republican, favour-
ing the XVth Amendment, and he was elected as
such. The Virginia press hails with satisfaction the
result ; the Richmond Despatch taking a very sensible
view, regarding it as the alliance of good men sinking
various shades of opinion to rescue the State, on
Grant's platform, from ignorance and dishonesty.
It denies that this is a Democratic triumph, as the
peop'e were engaged in far higher work than
struggling in a party contest. Walker has had ,
several interviews with the President, with Secre-
taries Fish, Boutwell, and Rawlins, and he emphati-
cally announced his intention heartily to supportthe
Administration in his government of Virginia, and
it is clear he has the sympathy of the President,
though not so certain]'- that of the Cabinet. I
may go so far as to say that some of the Secretaries
are hostile to the movement in Virginia, fearing its
influence on Mississippi, Texas, as well as on Ten-
nessee and other States. Several consultations have
been held among the most prominent Republicans
at present in Washington, and they do not much
like this Republican-Conservative triumph, which

they seem to consider has far too much of the
Conservative, and far too little of the Republi-
can element in it. This position has been decidedly
taken by Secretary Boutwell, who is reported to
have made a speech on the subject at the Cabinet
meeting on Tuesday. He opposed any counte-
nance or aid being rendered by the Administra-
tion to this Republican-Conservative or National
Republican party ; he saw danger ahead, his party
was known simply as Republican, and the Con-
servative he knew only as its enemy, against
whom he raised a warning voice ; it was their
business to protect the party which had placed them
in power against deceptions, and already many pro-
minent Republicans had become alarmed at the re-
ports now circulating as to the course the Admi-
nistration had adopted. Mr. Boutwell, whose in-
fluence is very great, did not mince matters either
when Judge Dent called on him to secure the assis-
tance of the Treasury for the Republican-Conserva-
tive party in Mississippi by whom he had been
nominated for Governor. The dispute waxed hot
and strong, and the Judge left the Secretary under
no misapprehension, as to the assistance he would
get from the Treasury. During the interview Mr.
Boutwell advised the Judge to mind his own busi-
ness, but at all events he could control the affairs
of the Treasury without any assistance from out-
siders, and he assured him that he would aid none
who had not supported the Chicago platform, who
were not willing to assist the XVth Amendment,
and who had not helped President Grant's election.
This is probably a newsmonger's manufacture, and
has been denied ; but it shows the drift of opinion.
Gen. Whittlesey, the candidate for Congress in the
Alexandria District down the river, has brought up
several specimens of counterfeit tickets used by
Walker's party to deceive the negroes having Radical
Republican vignettes as the heading aboVe the name
of the Conservative candidates. On Wednesday
the President issued a proclamation on the Missis-
sippi election, naming Tuesday, the 30th Novem-
ber, as the day, and embodying the objectionable
clauses to be voted on separately, as in Virginia.
This late date was purposely named in deference to
the opinions held by Secretary Boutwell, who was
desirous that the settlement of this question might
be delayed till just before Congress met. One of
the subjects exciting most attention in Washington is
that relating to the frauds in New Orleans. Auguste
Couterie and Co. sent an agent here from that
city to obtain a release of the sugar seiz3d by
Collector Casey, who alleges several enormous frauds
against that house aided by Perry Fuller. Be-
sides the sugar and the whisky frauds, it will
now be necessary to wake out a new assessment
of the income return, as it is evident that the list
is almost wholly false, and a re-assessment has been
ordered by Supervisor Conkling. No return i 3 re-
liable from New Orleans, the Crescent City being a
nest of fraud ; and it is reasonable to expect this, as
the people regard their city as conquered, and their
taxes the levies of a hostile Congress. This feeling
is aided by their distance from Washington, which
the better enables them to " do" the Radicals, and
it was much helped by the late President's appoint-
ments, so that now things have got into so bad a
way that it will not be easy to get them again on the
square. Secretary Rawlins left on Wednesday for
Connecticut. Gen. Sherman starts for New Hamp-
shire to-morrow. The President will arrive at Stetson
House with his Staff at Long Branch to-morrow
morning. He sent a telegraph message to Mr. Bogie,
asking him to accompany the party which left in the
steamer Tallapoosa last night. By the way the
President is erecting all sorts of barriers against
office-seekers and intruders generally. Trespassers
are now warned off the Executive Mansion grounds
which used to be open to the public, and the Mall
has been turned into a paddock for the President's
horses. The late President and some of our editors
may perhaps consider these acts to be foreshado wings
of the purple. The Fenian Gen. O'Neill has just re-
turned from a tour in the South, where he pro-
nounces the feeling to be good, but the organization
bad ; by a little care the smouldering fire could be
blown up, and when the Irish pockets fill with re-
turning prosperity in the South, the blowing will
be applied fast enough, for I have never known a
Fenian to fail at least in wind. Colonel Thomas
Moore, a distinguished officer of General Sheri-
dan's staff, has been appointed Bank Examiner,
and he is about to resign his commission in
the army. Governor Pease and Colonel John
P. Ochiltree, of Texas, have been urging i❑
vain on the President an early day for the election
in the Lone Star State. They represent Texas as
becoming peaceful ; they think they will secure
Hamilton's election as Governor, whose party they
represent carrying the Legislature and the majority
of Congressmen. There are some politicians also who
are here on behalf of Mr.Davis,the regular Republican
nominee. Chief Justice Chase and his daughter are
in Washington, where the Chief Justice has heard
the constitutional question argued whether he should
comply with the demand of James M. Carlisle and
Philip Phillips for a writ of habeas corpus to take
Colonel E. M. Yerger from the custody of the mili-
tary commission who are now trying him for the
murder of Col. Crane in Mississippi. The point is
whether the Reconstruction Acts in permitting mili-
tary commissions to try persons accused of crime
in time of peace, is constitutional. The Attor-
ney-General, being served with a notice, was pre-
sent to watch the case on behalf of the Government,
which was heard on Wednesday in the Supreme
Court room of the Capitol, decision being reserved.
Senator Conkling, who lately returned from his
trip from San Francisco, over the Pacific Railroad,
joins in reporting most favourably of the line, and
has drawn on his head the indignation of Mr. Isaac
N. Morris, late Government director, whose un-
favourable reports caused so much comment. He
reiterates all he said, and takes the opportunity of
censuring the reports of both Mr. Wade and Senator
Conkling. A circular was issued last Monday an-
nouncing a Convention concluded with Mexico to
settle the claims of our citizens against that Republic.
The cases are to be heard by a mixed commission to
meet here, and Government have appointedJ. Hubley
Ashton agent and counsel to conduct proceedings,
and prosecute claims on behalf of the United States ;
he will be paid by Government, and his services are
at the disposal of all claimants, who are directed to
apply to the department for circulars of the general
roles, and forms of proof ; one is, that they must
show that they are citizens of the United States.
Proceedings have been taken against the Wall-
street brokers for usury, but we have as good a set
of " shent per shents" in our city of Washington as
you would find even in London beneath the three
balls a pawnbroker hangs out. The Government
clerks are the victims, and the lenders are ten per
cent. per month men, dangerous people to have a
hand on a Treasury clerk, and against them
the police are about to make a vigorous raid,
as they are quite as worthy of attention as the
brokers of Wall-street. The Decatur cotton
case has been decided against the Government, but
Secretary Boutwell, dissatisfied with the Memphis
decision, telegraphed to the United States Counsel
in that city to carry the case up either to the
United States Supreme or United States Circuit
Court on an appeal or writ of error. It involves
in the gross 1,500 bales. Some of our Congress
men have been delivering sensational opinions.
Judge Trumbull gives an interview with Brigham
Young, wherein the prophet spoke very plainly
that Congress should not interfere with polygamy,
adding that obnoxious Federal officers would be
expelled from Utah if they gave expression to ob-
jectionable opinions. Senator Cole, who is now in
New York, desires to swamp the Mexicans with
the Chinese; the latter possessing just the virtues
the former lack, the one hating work the other
rather enjo3ing it. They might proceed south and
occupy Central America, so that they were shunted
off from interfering with labour in the United States.

From Homburg-es-Monts, 23d July, 1869, our
correspondent writes : Messrs. Seligman and
Settheimer, American bankers at Frankfort-on-
the-Maine, gave an official dinner ye3terday at one
of the private soloons of our celebrated " Kursaal "
to a number of the most distinguished Americans
residing here at present. Amongst the invitA
guests we noticed the Hon. Elihu 13. Washburne,
our Ambassador at Paris ; ex-Governor Curtin, our
Ambassador at St. Petersburg, accompanied by his
Secretaries of Legation, Dr, Coffee, late Assistant

Attorney-General, and Colonel Gratz ; Senator
Zacharias Chandler, Admiral Porter, Professor
Dr. Henry Tappan, the retiring and the novir
appointed Consul-General at Frankfort-on-the'
Maine, the Honourable William Walton MurPlll'
and the Honourable William P. Webster ; General
Dodge, Ex-Consul at Bremen ; Isaac Seligman'
Esq., of San Francisco ; the Honourable Wont'
gomery Gibbs, Agent of the United States 'Pea;
sury Department at Paris ; Secretary Auguste
Glaeser ; Dr. Leopold Sonnemann and Dr. Berli.
hard Doctor, editors of the Frankfort Gazette, and
,
others. Many of the gentlemen were accon43
nied by their wives, amongst whom were Mrs. Coll
sul-General Murphy, Mrs. Consul-General IVebster'
Mrs. Colonel Gratz, Mrs General Dodge, Mrs. Gribb°;
Mrs. Seligman, besides other ladies. A number
of to:tsts were propose I and responded to in a vc,r/
appropriate and interesting manner by Mr. Nyasa
burne, Governor Curtin, Senator Chandler, neil n
Seligman, Profeeslr Tappan, Gen. Dodge, and v.;
Coffee. Much attention was attracted by a sl3lc;a
speech of Senator Chandler, in which he alluu,.eb'
to the Alabama question and Cana la, and ,
elicited a rather pungent reply in favour of 11,
land on the part of Dr. Bernhard Doctor, the Frain
fort correspondent of the London Times, Da'
e
News, New York Herald, &c. All the toasts lverj
characterised with humour and wit, and recovbee
with enthusiastic applause. The pleasure of bill
evening was greatly enhanced by the excellent u
of fare and the delicious flavoured wines of Monslebtir
e
Chevet, of the celebrated Paris Restaurant, t
tasteful arrangements of the liberal hosts, and 111°o
than all by the charming presence of ladies bloom
ing in beauty and in costly toilettes.

THE DEMOCRATIC PLATFORM OF

PENNSYLVANIA.

The Pennsylvania Democratic State Convention i
nominated, on the second ballot, Asa Packer f°
Governor, at Harrisburgh, July 14, running 'lb,
against General John William Geary, the Rees
lican candidate. He was elected over Gelier‘-u.
Hancock, M'Candless, and G. W. Cass, the °
bers being—M'Candless, withdrawn ; Hancock? of
Cass, 47 ; and Packer, 68. C. L. Pershie'oo
Cambria County, was nominated for Judge °f ba
Supreme Court. The first resolution, asserting 're;
danger of exercising unconstitutional powers, deel3,ght
that Pennsylvania shall never surrender her /jibe
to local self-government; the second °proses ball
Fifteenth Amendment, and demands that it °liiri
be submitted to a direct vote of the people; the t
did
emphatically denies suffrage to negroes, er, fot
right of Congress to grant it ; the fourth eahs
financial reform ; the fifth offers cordial co-Or
tion with the movements to benefit the labooo,
men ; the sixth condemns the Reconstruction Poe
licy of Congress; the seventh and eighth Arsool,
customary resolutions in favour of the Union
ro
diers and naturalized citizens; and the tent"
.00
quires a modification of the unjust internal redoing
and taxing system. The Democratic party 001
its best to uphold State Rights, for it has of
added to these the right of the Democrats, la elm
State, to have a separate platform. The Dent those
of Ohio can have little or no connection W 19301
of Pennsylvania, or Pennsylvania with Virgartfl
and the same may be said of the Republican Poll'
with reference to the platform it has erected In
tor
fornia and other States. The Philadelphia °AO
pondent of the 7 imes reiterates what we have, itersf
said, and has harped on it in bis last two le
that these differences arise from the manifest 3 of
fusion now prevailing in parties. On questrotec
overwhelming national importance, such as
tion v. Free Trade, there is no distinct se.l33ri3io
but where the Democrats are at loggerheads'tes of
the rejection or retention in the different s°l"
dead issues. Pennsylvania discarded green; 00If
redemption of the National Bonds ; Ohio n° the
declared for it, but for taxing the interest 00%'x'
Conservatives of Virginia accepted Negro Buys
and the XVth Amendment ; those of Pee°Blo,oo
emphatically rejected both. The Times says
