NO ENTHUSIASM.
The reception of the news of the
nominations by the New York Goa
vention was attended with no nantes
tations of enthusiasm on the part ofthe
Democracy of this place; not a singe
chirp did we hear at the time or since
over the result. The countenances of
our Democratic friends bear no longer
their wonted look of joyous serenity.

funeral of George H. Pendleton. II
was very easy to distinguish a Repub-
