The political earthquakes still rack
Manhattan from center to circumference
and back again. The political ther.
mometer is way mp above blood heat
and rising. If things keep on things
will be in very interesting condition
before election day. The fereeness oi
the agitation, who can tell? The end,
if well, alb, how glad poor. tired human
nature will be. @ All honor to the wisdom
of the political fathers in declaring that
a Presidential election should take place
only once in four years. Not even the
almost boundless elasticity of Y Yankee
nature could stand it oftener. Society,
trade, everything, feels the strain. So
we are glad the campaign draws so rap
idly to close. But in the few weeks
remaining of the. canvass, what hot bat
ties shall we not have, Both, the great
parties are now doing I, dead earnest
Iwofk,ss,QfI course the, Democracy is,
however, far i'm the advance, .s45z.,.,.g,
The Democrats are very practical in
this canvass. They are doing work
which will really tell on election day.
They are holding almost countless meet
ings. They have very great number
of clubs well organized. And beside
this, the inside effectual committee work,
&c, is not neglected. ?, This last, you
know, is what swells the vote, rather
than the banging of big drums and
swinging of lanterns, though the latter,
of course, is not without its effect.
On the 9th of October there will be
a great Democratic ratification mass
meeting, at which it is hoped that Gen.
George B. Mcclellan will preside. In
the evening there will be a great pro-
cession, probably the largest this city
has looked upon for very long time.
The Radicals are still making great
furore over the Camilla, Georgia, bust
ness. They are doing their utmost to
make capital out of it. The whole
thing they of course charge home on the
Democratic party. They tell the most
fearful tales of the butcheries of negroes.
and represent in the most dramatic way
the rush of the blood hounds on the
fleeing. As matter of truth we must
say the great Democratic party cannot
afford these Camillas. Even aside from
the question of blame in these con-
hicts at the South, is it not patent to
every good Democrat that the Radicals
of the North will use these reports as a
mt ans of Strengthening their cause
And then why should Democrats be
called upon to explain these Camilla af-
fairs in the midst Of the great discus
sion of the grave questions so long af-
fecting the well being of the nation
At least we feel it not very wrong to
declare here that the Radicals will use
every Camilla conflict to their own ad-
vantage. Witness the Tribune of this
morning. ht.t 81, l"''H aai a-'"
The Fifth Ward Democracy held a
mass meeting on Thursday evening un-
der the auspices of the Tammany Hall
Committee, at which, among others, the
Hon. Richard O'Gorman made an ad-
dress. He declared that the great ques-
tion to be considered in the present cri-
sis was that of the taxes, and how they
could be lightened. He said the papers
were filled with the accounts of "strikes''
by working men, and these strikes were
necessary and just, for money was of
less value than formerly, and therefore
wages on that account should be higher
Mayor Hoffman is now in the city,
He will resume the stump on Monday,
and will give the Pennsylvanians some
unquestionably Democratic ideas. j..
There are few marked changes in
trade; the currents flow quite steadily,
albeit lazily. -
Money is still easy at 3 and 5 per
per cent; but capitalists decline max
ing time engagements, and there is quite
noticeable feeling of distrust, as al
legged from the fear that the demand from
the country banks for greenbacks to
make up their quarterly statement on
the 9Th of October, may be followed by
alocking up of money in the interest of
operators for a decline in stocks. -tn
The late equinoctial followed in the
traditional footsteps of its predecessors,
and so we have any quantity of stormy
weather. This, of course, makes the
city wretchedly dull. a." '-
Mr.. Bateman announces the withdraw
al of Barbe Bleue from Niblo's on the

ed at this theater Mrs F. w. Lander S
