New YORK, October 23.-New York is all agog.
now over politics. Both parties are working might
and main, the Republicans to retrieve the disasters
of October, the Democrats to add one more pillar
to the Conservative pyramid At The last general
election out of vote reaching nearly 800 000 the
Radical majority was less than Ia 600; and if the
change in this State is proporti>natcly as great
as in the other States, the Democratic majority in
November next will approximate 10000. This
being the case, the excitement runs high. Grcey
and other leading Radicals though privately admit
ing that there is no hope, are vet urging on their
cohorts with the energy OF despair, knowing that
with the great Empire State standing as the bull
wark Of conservatism, their purblind machna-
tons threatening the peace anI security of the
Government will be foiled The Democrats and
Conservatives, though calm and confident, are up
and doing, and knowing that the eyes of the whole
country aro now hopefully turned upon them
they are resolved on victory. The party here
secure III the strength of its immense majority, is
running opposition candidates for the local Offices

'sMls Lincolns things" are set out for SALE are
still largely visited by the curious the attendance
averaging thousand persons a day. A three
hundred dollar set Of jewclry was sold yesterday
but the dresseg, which visitors arc politely request
ed not to handle, still hang neglected on the chairs
looking decidedly the worse for wear, and are en-
phatically dead stock. A good natured damse
robed in white, has charge of the articles, but it
is hard to imagine how her equanimity can be
preserved under the crosslre Of questioning, per-
tinent and impertnent, 10 which she is constantly
subjected. The subscription list for the family o.
of Abraham Lincoln winch hangs upm conspic-
uous place, is wofully blank Among the subscIlp
tions are several Of ten cents, and pint of pea
nuts from Il sympathiznS newsboy. The whole
affair affords all Instructive commentary on the
mutabllity Of Americans.
The hotels are all filled to overfiowing, and the
rush of visitors is unusually great. The theatres
