TIE Democratic Scramble for the Spells.
Tie domestic affections OF poor Tamnany are III
terninabe-not from any differences upon nice
points of national or State politics but from clsshing
Interests in tie patronage Of the City Departments,
and she spoils generally. The present wrange in
the Wizwam is for the Offices Of Surrogate and
Supervisor, with six members OF Congress, cid
seventeen members Of Assembly 10 10 elected in
November, and tie grand municipal prizes Of Coz.
trolier and Corporation Counsel IL December. With
ost coalition with Wood it ID quite certain that
rho carno, succeed in carrying the ciiy with him
size hopes TO sweep tie field. Hence, we see poor
old Tammany, once 10 proud and naughty in her
dealings viii rccresnts, now hun.bing Lersef TO her
arch enemy, and ready 10 strike haBts With tie
author Of Der moss shameful defeats.
Tie great struggle is for the Conirolerhip, the
patronage 4 which is contidered the mot: desirable
position in the city or State. Senator Il. H. Connolly
in the month Of April Inst announced himself ~
candidate for this Office, and slied himself with
Henry w. Genet, who, rs Alderman, County Clerk,
and controller Of The Street Department, was sup
poted 10 control the nominations Of tie TsDuany
organization. Dissatisfaction with the Gese. regime,
together with the iyalics Of Briggs, Boole and
other sspiranis for the ConirGe-hip, arrayed q
strong opposition TO tho Nomination Il Connolly, aud
"a determination 10 dethrone Genet. A majority Of
the Doerd Of Aldermen being secured, Stee. Com
mitsloner Knapp, Of the Genei-Connolly interest,
was removed, and tie subordinate officers Of tie
department are liable to removal as soon a. the
Mayor and the Aldermen ore able 10 agree upon
SUCCESSOR to Mr.. Knslp. Several Of Gsnei's most
influential adneIents in the TaHnsny General Con.
mittee hold positions in ths department.; conss-
queuty those who desired the domination Of Con-
molly were anxious 70 make the nominations .or tie
December election, AZ well as Tor tie November
election, forthwith.
a regular monthly meeting Of the General Com
miitee was bcld on ThuIliay evening last, ard as

lions would occur, tie rombeB were all present.
The result was tie defea, % the Genet Connolly

new question, that o! Union with Mozart Hall,
ID etl agitating tie Tannany saohems. At the
meeting OF the State Committee in Angus, last, a
request was made that, but one delegation should
be sent from this city to the STATE Convention. This
was accomplished b. the fraie rniiion Of the two ri al
delegations led by Supervisor Purdy and Ex-Mayor
Wood. \ strong deposition 10 unite the riyal Gen
oEsl Committees Of Iamnany and Mozart has NAH
iested i,sef since the State Convention and select
committees have been appointed by each organiz..-
ton to arrange terms OF union. Supervisor Ely, on
the part Of Tammaly, and EA-Nayor Wood On the
part Of Mozart have arranged meeting OF he TWO

il is not probable, however, tia: genera. consoE-
dation Of Inc two Organizations Wi! be Effected but
that trade viii lie made On tie nominations, by
which IarnnGny will secure the Nominee fos Super
VISOR and Mozart tie Surrogate, with an equal div-
fon Of the candidates for Congressm.n and Members
of Assembly. Ia view Of the inyeterato hostility
which many Of the beet members Of the Taminany
organization entertain toward Fernando Wood. we
should not be surprised to lean tina, the holog peace
about TO 10 patched up between tis factions proved
q oeiuhon and snare TO both parties. The reliance
upon fernando'e good faith, jrd ling by pai. expert
ence can be by no means implicit, while The proba-
bility that the IamGanyhes intend 10 rse lin and
his organization only 10 cheat them in the election
Is suopgly expected by those who know the secret
OF the Wigwam. Blu. however co.rec. there sur
m.ses may prove, the fact that corrupt coalition
has been entered into for the ayowed purpose OF put
ting VIGOROUSLY bad men in posse,sion Of the CITY
Treasury, ~ that the schemes of ,he CITY Hail
" Ring may be TIC more readily consurnmated and
the further flct that an the Democratic nominations
this FAN, are 70 hinge upon this issue, ought 10 CONF
bine tho honest men Of all parties, against this
INDUSTRIOUS conspiracy.
