cend. No man Of common sense here be-
lieves, that the girl Genevieve had
any guilty knowledge ofthe manner in
which Jenkins came by his money. She
was young in years. and comparatively
young in vice; while he was old in crime
and older yet in lite's experiences. She
believed Jenkins to be a rich banker. and
a successful speculator; and 80 far as the
public are yet informed, she took his
money without questions, and without
comment. The supcranuaied and shame
less old sinner now comes foiwardard, and
with the baldest eff'rontery, asks the peo-
pie to believe that his dupe and mistress
led him astray!
New York State and city possess and
practice many codes of political ethics,
some OF which, are of doubtful character.
Their politics are appropriately parti-col-
ored, like the garb of an Italian brigand
or many-colored like sthe ever changing
hues of the chameleon The managers
and wire-pullers of both the great politi-
cal parties of the day practice the free
hooters maxms The Democrats have
the advantage of us mcrc modern Repub-
licans, in the antiquity and perfection of
their party drill, and in that prestige
which attaches to an organization which
has been long in the field They change
! positions with greater facility, quarrel
more gracefully, and mend their broken
bones with greater celebrity than we can,

result in a defeat similar to that which
elected Iloratio Seymour three years ago.
Our q Gator, it is said, made one country
on earth without reptiles and if that
climax OF wisdom and mercy could be
| reached, whereby country could be
made without politicians, there would be
no need % dying in order to be in Heav-
en-. What angels we should be; for
there would be peace on earth and good
will to men. Most reptiles shed their
skins once a year; not so with the pro.
!essed politician; year in, and year ont,
he is the same slimsy, sinners and artfu
dodgers. When the father of lies gets II
foothod among Il people his first business
is to nnoculate them with politicians !;
and straightway there is rank and often
sive growth of inen who are at once,
grasping, cunning, plausible, selfish, I'M
principled and untruthful. The present
quarrel among the New York politicians
promises to be intere sting TO the Demo-
Gratis, and fatal to oul selves. Greeley it

but whether he reaches the coveted goal
Of his ambition, depends much, in the
