The HARD SHELLS AND Sort SHELLs--WHAT's
IN THE wND?-We have had various rumors
within the last two weeks, of projected fusion
OF the hard shells and free soil Van Buren, ad-
ministration soft shells, for the single para
mount object of securing the spoils of the No
vember election. It is said that the soft shells,
instigated by the administration, the New York
Css'om House, and some of the flexible free
soil sacnems Of Tammany Hall, have been try
ing the poor unfortunate hards at Albany, New
York and Washington, and that the hards,
though not as yet hooked, have been nibbling
ct the bait. The free soil soft shells do not
wish to make display of their weakness in
November-tbe administration does not wish
il, and Tammany Hall desires to avoid it. The
faction Is consequently prepared to do anything
to conciliate the hard shells, except to support
Judge Bronson. The Judge being direct Issue

Extract from private letter dated st. Johns, p.
R., July Is, 1884,
An English schooner has recently brought us the
intelligence that there are piratcal vessels cruising
in our waters. This vessel was stopped and detained
two days, and after having been overhauled and
only small lot Of tobacco in bales found they al
lowed her to proceed
BY the declaration Of the captain, it Is believed
that the captain of the piratical vessel is an Ame
rican.
cion. However, believe that they will soon be
obliged to abandon the place, when this news reaches
st. Thomas, where there are generally stationed
English war steamers.

him; but almost any ether hard shell may ccm-
mand their support.
And some Of tie haris, we are sorry tolearn,
are beginning to waver. They reason thus
What is the use Of giving the State to the
wings? If we can secure the help Of the
softs, and get the lions share of the spoils,
why should we not unite with them,
and carry the State? Why should we
care any longer to stand of and make
war upon the administration, when it does not
pay expenses? And what's the use of support
ing Judge Bronson for Governor, when he de-
clines to accept the nomination Let us,
therefore, pat up some other man; and if the
administration faction choose to support him
and elect him, let them do So" This is the
sort of talk which is going on among the
trading men of the hard shell party. The
probabilities are, therefore, that Judge Bron-
son Will be dropped, under the excuse that he
has declined the nomination; and that some
Other man will be nominated, acceptable to the
soft shells, who are prepared to swallow almost
any hard shell candidate except Bronson, Dick
/ inson, Brady, Cooley, Birdsall, Maurice, Vince
Ger, or O'Conor.
The hards have taken the right ground in
| the proceedings Of their late State Convention
in reference to the re-colstruction of the
democratic party for 1856. If they abandon
that ground for temporary fusion with the
soft shells for the doubtful chances of the
spoils in November, the next step will be a full
confession Of their sins and a disgraceful sur
render to the administration. They are dri
wing in that direction. Without any attempt t.
secure the acceptance by Judge Bronson O.
his nomination, his party will, therefore, in al
probability, drop him and take up some Other
man better adapted to secure the forgiveness
of the administration. 1t is month yet before
the Soft Shell Convention meets at Syracuse
and in the interval the poor hard shells may bt
fairly wound up. We must watch them they
are nibbling.

SERIOUS ILLNESS OF GENERAL BARRuSDIA-We

night. He had an attack Of apoplexy on Monday

and diEgraceful state Of affairs. With this party
prompted by Russian emissaries and aided by
Russian gold, the inslrrection first commenced;
ana it is not likely that it will now contentedly
resign to either Of its rivals the e. its Of its
years Of patent endurance and watehfulness.
Backed by all the influence and disposable
power Of the Gar. the claims Of the Condo de
Montemolin assume greater Importance than
they would otherwise have 1t is impossible, in
fact, to predict to what strange revolutions in
political opinions and prejudices the present
exceptional state of things may bring about in
regard to his pretensions.
The rumor that it is the intention of the in
sargents to offer the throne to Don Pedro of
Portugal, is too absurd to deserve serious no
tice. Such project may have originated with
the allies, as means of counteracting the EN-
baT-assMents arising from these Spanish COM
piications, but it could never have been seri-
ously entertained by any Spaniard having the
interests Of his country at heart. From the
conquest Of Portugal by Spain, under Philip
H., it is curious fact that the gradual decline
Of the latter set in, and the Spanish people have
traditional horror Of any closer connection
between the two Kingdoms than their geoga-
phical position imposes upon them.
We are curious to learn what Immediate eff
feet this startling intelligence will have upoz
the nerves Of the Spanish officials in Cuba. The
patriotic and warlke ardor Of General Pezucls

the remainder Of his brief term Of Office, he may
be induced to look 'spon American citizens and
interests with more complaceney. Hmay hap

take shelter under that flag against which he
has manifested 60 much hostility. If such ar
event should come to pass, we can promise hin
that we will willingly rub the sponge over old
scores, and receive him with true Yankee vel
come. In the meanwhile, we expect that he
will have enough to do to hold his own upon
the island. The moment this news reaches
Havana, there may be general scramble fol
spoils, and possibly some party conflicts and
bloodshed. Then will be the time for General
Quitman and his associates to step in and re-
| store order.
