DEFECTIVE EYE-,SIGHT.

The Gazette. of this city, Democratic),
cannot understand the necessity or admit
the propriety of the general bewailment
which has been going on in its party since
the 3D. inst, over the failure to nominate
Chief Justice Chase, at New York. 1t can
not see wherein Mr.. Chase is Conservative;
and if he is not Conservative, then it can't
see why its party should have nominated
him, in July and if they ought not to have
nominated him in July, then it is quite una
BILE to perceive why they should now be
weeping because they didn't.
The Gazette is truly Democratic paper,
and is usually reliable, unless in cases where
Mr.. Postmaster Barr, or Tycoon Townsend
are concerned. Its weekly is good family
paper for the region of Appoquinimink, and
although not nearly so much read as the
Delaware TRIBUNE, still the shorter words
in it are every week spelled out by hundreds
cerity, Al d upright disinterestednes prevent
thu Gosettc from comprehending the ano
| lives which prompted its shrewder and
smarter leaders to propose judge Chase.
"Within an hour" said Vallandigham, ''ii
"McCook had not sprung the Seymour
movement, Chase would have been nomi-
"pated' Why? Because he was most
available. Because the old things have
passed away. Because the rebellion is beat
en-, and except in three States, now possess
ing no national influence, dishonors, unless
repented Of, every man who was tainted
with its touch. Yet Seymour, a sympathiz
er with much of its spirit, and Blair, who
proposed new Rebellion, were nominated
to attempt once more the revival of the Lost
Cause. Prudent men then saw that it wal
folly, and worse Since the election, mer
who wanted Office and hungered after flesh
pots, have seen more and more, that il wa,
folly, and that their party would be stronger
now, if Chase had been the candidate.
If tke Gazette belonged to either Of thes,
classes il it would only drop its ioolisl
ideas that Delaware contains more inhabi
tants than New Yo rk and is larger in are,
than Texas or if it could realize the desir
of its party leaders to hold Office, it thel
could ''see" and might, possibly, "under
stand. Two weeks in the United State
Marshal's office certainly ought to leave o.
the Gazette the odor of official enjoyment
but it seems really to be more devoted to th
fetish worship of the defunct Southern infu
ence than to the pocket interests of its fe
low Democrats. This is wrong policy fc
it. 1t must take care of its friends. Whe
Captain Barr, in an eloquent apostroph,

DIVIDING NEW YORK STA TE

II required no great degree of political
acumen to discern before the event the al
most inevitable issue of the election In New
York State The result in 1867, when the
unprecedented Democratic majority in the
city, drowned the great Republican majority
outside of it, was final and conclusive evil
dence of the ability of the Tammany wire
pullers to control the State. If the decided
preference of the city for Democracy, and
the equally decided choice of all the remain
der of the State for Repubicanism, could
have been expressed by the same means, in
entire fairness, it is certain that the former
would predominant, and it is possible that
these two partners, though bound in so
close an embrace, might have remained in
wcdlock.
But however large may be the Republican
majority in the State outside, a larger Demo-
cratic majority will always be polled inside
Of New York city. This is a fixed fact, so
long as the case remains in its present situa-
ton. 1t ,Oas fixed fact, monthsago. The
immense efforts made TO secure majority
of the legal voters of New York Sta.e for
John A. Griswold were efforts thoroughly
vain, and regarded only to that end, utterly
useless. The increase of Republican majority
in St. Lawrence or Allegheny, after earnest
and thorough canvass, meetings, speeches,
newspapers and documents, might be hun
dred or five hundred. If so, the fraud mills
in the hands of New York city officials, from
Judges Of the courts down, were only re-
quircd to add to their corrupt and fraudu-
lent vote, three hundred or a thousand more
ballots.
Against the actual numbers of Vice and
Ignorance it is hard to contend, man for
man. But against such powers, multiplying
themselves as they may need, who will ut
tempt an effort?
And so the case in New York State has
come to the point where the two uncongeni
al yoke-fellows ought to be divorced. A
more unnatural political union has hardly
ever existed-never at all, we think, in THU
country. Letus look at the figures as shown
in the recent election. The city of New
York properly includes the cities and coun

GREELEY AND GRANT.


A New York letter. written last evening, says :
This morning the General partook of quiet
breakfast at Delmonlco's, for the express purpose
of having introduced to him Horace Greeley, of

acquaintance, General Badeau and few other
gentlemen were present. The meeting is said to
have been one Of peculiar interest, bnt particulars

The TERRIBLE FERRY-BoAT ACCIDENT at

In old times, when young people were married
and needed IN outfit" their friends who had
already fought forward on the battle Of life, pre-
sented them with table linen, and rag carpets, and
wAsh-tubs. In later years. the custom has run
riot and degenerntod muchly In the direction Of
plated silver-ware especially pairs Of butter
knives, and tablespoons. Finally, tho fashion Is
now about TO change, at least there are such In
dications. "No presents received" is placed
upon the wedding invitation, notifying theguests,
most plainly, that they need not lay out their
money In cxhausting efforts to outshlne each
other In the value Of their purchases. In Clevc-
land, the other day. the cards were thus endorsed,
and the Home Journal reports similar case in
New York. And thus the fashion is set.

we presume there is scarcely Republic
can throughout the length and breadth of
the land who will not heartily endorse our
suggestion for fifteenth amendment to the
Constitution settling the suffrage question
In all portions Of the Union. Our faith cx-
tends still further. We believe that tens of
thousands, who have not heretofore favored
negro suffrage, and who even now feel no
especial interest in the establishment of the
principle, will support the measure because
they know that lis adoption is tie only
thing which can remove the negro question
out Of the arena of politics, and give us what
we all long for--PEAc.. Indeed, we can
hardly see how any intelligent man, even in
the Democratic party, can now oppose IT.
Already the mass of the colored people of
the United States are enfranchised. Those
yet denied this right arc so few in number
that Democrat could scarcely offer any
practical objection to their cnfran chisc
ment. 1t Is important as establishing prin-
ciple rather than on account of the number
of persons interested in il. But there is no
principle in the opposition to it-noihing
but prejudice; and what practical man OF
any party, who really cares for the substan-
tial progress of the nation would be willing
to continue a source of endless agitation
merely to crafty n prejudice? That preiu
dice could scarcely suffer more by the com
plete establishment of the prisciplc than it
now suffers by its practical application to
ninctenth of all the colorcd people in the
United States, while IL would find in the
former u compensation which IL does not
and never will find in the latter, namely,
the removal of agitation on this subject; for
it is impossible that agitation should ever
cease while justice remains unsatistied.-
And here let us say that the new amendment
must be such as to leave no further ground
for cavil. II must fully and unrestrictedly
establish equal rights not only in national,
but in State and municipal elect ons- The
work must be completed = the principle
enunciated in the Declaration of lndepen-
Creator with an inalienable right to life,
liberty, and the pursuit of happiness, must
be at least established va hingto
