A "BAD EGG THAT WAS DISCUSSED AT BREAK
FAST.
Your reporter having ably explained at the time OF
its enacion, the preliminary contest between the chi
city, our history may be taken up the morning OF
the eventful struggle for the possession of the Old
Wiewam ard tie virtual control Of the Democratic
party. Mr.. Mather was bright and early at his Hon
ois villa on the BloOmingdae road where the two con-
spraos took breakfast together and discussed at con-
siderable length certain bad egg that had been
frst tapped at Dan Delevans party as pre-
viously limited. Despite the ancient odor OF
that egg, it was resolved, NON. con-, that vic
tory must settle on the Chinese standard, and
the duty was assigned to Mr.. Mather of bringing
Mr. Schell to his Honors office at certain period of
the where he should be detained, under p.eteIt
Of con Ltation and forth until the appropriate mo-
ment should arrive for conducting him in solemn pro-
cesson from the City Hall to the gates of the belea'
cured citadel. This maneuver, il was hoped, would
strike terror into the hearts Of al such wavering
Davies as hankered after the eshpOs of the Custom
House and would make the incongables dad eggs,
and 20 forth even in their despite mute witnesses
of his Ionors exatatiOn and the Collectors supposed
subservency. 1t also agreed that Mr.. John
Kelly should be another captive to his HOnors bow
ard SPEAR and that he, too, should take part in this
muratory movement-the richness and former high
charGcterof the prizes attestng the captors wealth.
CAPTORs AND CAPTIvEs MARCH.
This .tratagen succeeded, and half hour " before
the setting of the sun that evenfu afternoon all
four-the captors and the captves-issued from the
City Hail. and wendell their way with great parade
across to Tammsny. His Honor tried to seize the
Collectors arm but Mr. Scbell, with some instinct or
fear Of the past embrace that fatal carriage-hug },
jumped quickly to one side, and placed himself under
the protection Of his feow-captve, John Kelly Thus

on them and pointing them out, while Mr.. Michael
Tuomey blew horn tonce the property of the Angel
Gabriel to excite the attention of the assembled
braves-thus guarded heralded and triumphant, the
four passed the sacred shades Of the big Wigwam
POISONING THE ARROWS AND wHETTING THE
KNIVES.
Having secured Room q, " his Honor now entered
on tie completion Of his final arrangements for the
great encounter. Here we're assembled the various
delegations from the Sneaks, the Crows, the Foxes,
the Sscs and the B ackfeet-the Sneaks being under
the command Of Mr.. Garry Striker, and the others
under equally appropriate chiefs. Ben. Z. Farchild-
his HOnOis grantee of the Lexington Avenue Stage
Lne-was engaged in poisoning the arrows, while Joe
Rose and Patent Medicine Man Ring sharpened the
tomahawks and Cas- Childs was putting an extra
edge upon the scaping knives wherewith the bloody
trophies were intended to be plucked SanchO Panza
Small bad three several muserrols in his hand. The
first contained the names of the braves who could be
brought directly into action the second the names Of
those waverers who might be relied on TO desert in the
heat of battle if victory seemed nclning to his Honor;
and the third the of those weaker vessels who
could probably be hocussed on the stairs by Irish
Tom, Bill Powers and the other Whisky Braves there
epsconsed in the profoundest ambush. Everything
was declared to be in readiness for the ndiscrimnate
slaughter of all who opposed his Honor; and then the
Custom. House officers, headed by Charley lneback,
were introduced to the Collector in the order of list

Department on his Honors Staff This done, the Ce-

In another room of the same building the West

unequal terms of the contest would permit. Deter
mined to purify the system Of primary elections, all
the chiefs Of the reforming party had spent the day
among their tribes preparing for grand assembage

"Old War-Horse" in splendid condition, was paving
