More Light About tho R0wdy Coz
ton mt Syracusc-A Curious Batch
Cards.
Every day we are getting more light and
new views about the rowdy Convention at Sy-
racuse Who hired the fighting men and the
rowdes to 60 to the Syracuse Convention?
That question we had supposed had been al
ready settled; but it seems we have been mis-
taken. The Regency party charged Fernando
Wood with hiring them, and Heenan was men,
toned by name as one of them. In an affidavit
made by Heenan be utterly denies that he was
hired by Wood, and is indignant at the idea of
being accused of belonging to his party On
the other hand, Captain Rynders has been &C
cused by the Daily Neacs of hiring Heenan,
McCabe and others against Wood and Mozart
Hall. But Heenan denies that he was hired by
Captain Rynders to go to Syracuse-he says
he went there on his own hook, and was only
engaged by Captain Rynders after his arrival;
while McCabe denies, in an affidavit, that Ryn-
ders has ever been to his public house, and
says that he is but slightly acquainted with
him, and that he never had five minutes con-
versation with him on any subject. The fol-
lowing is his affidavit

that Ryndcrs has never to his knowledge belief visit

This is very fine card, but we don't see at
what it aims. There is nothing in it about
Syracuse. Captain Rynders may understand
the drift of it, but it is too misty for u.s. There
are other cards, however, published, which are
unmistakable in their meaning and very much
to the point. One of these, from a friend of Mr..
McCabe, "a Tammany democrat" is addressed
to the Boobies Brooks, of the Express, because
they meddled in matters which did not belong
to them-they having no part or lot in the
democratic party
TO j. AND e. BROOKS.
To notice OF the attack on Thomson, in Wednes-
days evening edition, ! take exception accompanied
my friend Mr. McCabe to the door Of the Nels office
renamed until such punishment was inflicted as has
time been IN wait for Brooks. word to the wise
may be sufficient
HENRY MURPHY, Tammany Democrat.
This is done in grammatical and elegant
language, and the meaning is sufficiently
pointed and explicit. The editor of the Express,
though his grandmother-the Know Nothing
party-is dead and gone, shows plenty of
pluck, and thus replies
. Office hours from A. NJ to ga. NJ All ready Fight
ing editor at the door.
1t remains to be seen whether Henry Murphy
will come on-his challenge being thus &C
cepted-and whether the fighting editor will
be at the door. But this is not all. There is
another card from the same distinguished indi-
vidual. 1t is addressed ''to the surviving editor
of the Daily Neaos," in anticipation that one of
the editors is already dead or dying, and it
reads as follows
TO THE sIrRv7viNG EDITOR OF THE NEW YORK
BROADWAY, N. Y, Sept %, 1859.
] accompanied my friend Mr.. McCabe to your Office
and remained until your coedtor had been properly
punished Had the rest of you had courage to remain
few well directed blows would have brought you to your
ductors Of the abest journal in the cy-he journal Of
Commerce-approved our course. HENRY MURPHY.
This is clear enough nothing vague or foggy
about it. The most curious part of it is that
which states that the conductors of the Journal
Of Commerce approved beforehand what Nc
Cabe Murphy u Co. have done. So that it
seems Colonel Webb, Of the Courier and En-
qairer, who used to be the fighting editor of the
press fraternity, has abandoned his old post
and turned to piety, while Aminidab Sleek,
who has hitherto dealt SO extensively in reli-
gious cant and fanaticism, takes up the cast off
profession of the valiant Colonel, and heads the
fighting men of New York.
From the foregoing cards it is very evident that
there are plenty of fighting men in New York
ready for action, either here or in Syracuse.
And the conclusion of the whole matter is
that nobody hired the rowdies, bruisers, and
professors of the manly art of self defence" to
go to Syracuse. They went there of their own
free will and accord, as those who love horse
flesh go to race, or as the vultures from every
point of the compass gather around carcass
The reader may have observed at the docks,
when our steamboats, arrive, an army of hack
men with whips raised above their heads, and
each looking wistfully at the passengers and
shouting at the top of his voices, "Want
carriage, sir?" "Let me drive you up, sir?'' 1t
was the same at Syracuse. Nobody hired the
rowdies and roughs to go there. Nobody sent
for them; but there they were on hand, ready
for anything, each putting up his finger and
crying OUT, "Who wants a'fight? Who wants
a chairman to be knocked over or a secretary's
head punched" The man who wanted any
work Of this kind done was just the man for the
