THE DICKN1N SALE.

The great sale Of real estate which is adycr-
tiscd TO be held in this city tomorrow is one
of the most important transactions OF the kind
which have ever taken place in New-York.
The land in question consists Of portion of
the estate of the late Isaac Dyckman, known
us the Fort George Property, situated near the
northern extremity lof Manhattan Island, be-
tween Broadway and the Harlem River. The
Eastern Boulevard is to run through one side
of il new avenue laid out by the Central
Park Commissioners fronts il on another pur-
chasers will acquire valuable riparian rights on
the Harlem; while Broadway, the main artery
of the island skirts its western edge. More
over, within these 12S acres is embraced some
of the most beautiful scenery Of the highest
portions Of Manhattan, and the relics of old
Fort George lend TO the ground a peculiar
historical interest.
The Importance of the sale will he mainly,
however, in the indications il will give of the
Judgment OF shrewd spectators rs to the
future of the upper portions Of our city. There
can be little question, we think, that another
generation, if not this one, will sec great
change in relative positions Of our fashionable
and our business quarters The southern
wards are already Overcrowded with ware
houses; the wharfage is fast becoming insult
fcient; and retail shops eneroaeh so rapidly
upon residences, that where 10 live and how
to get from our work TO our homes are among
the most serious problems Of metropolitan life.
Whenever accommodations for the shipping
are provided all along our water front, instead
of az one end VI il only, a qnich solution for
these diftenlties win be rsashed. The i'm
provement OF He'll Gate will soon I've followed
by q Ahiftina of certain kinds Of commerce
from the lower 20 the upper end OF
the East River. Vessels from Northern
Europe will enter the hafbor rather by the
way Of Long Island Sound than by the old
and longer route, and docks will be bulls for
them along part at least of the Harlem River.
One sort of commerce Of course follows an
other, and hence il will not be surprising II in
the course of some years we see belt OF ware

Mr. Ryland Randolph, the ingenious editor
of The Tuscaloosa Monitor, on whose pleas
ant pictorial illustration of the fate in store
for Union men at the South, and more pleas
ant editorial explanations of the same, we lately
commended has been appealing to Northern
Copperhead papers to set him right. The
picture was only piece of pleasantly, gotten
"up In a spirit of fun by the devils of the
"onice!r Precisely! We see it, Mr.. Randolph.
The suggestion that any Radicals found South
"after the Ides of March" would be hanged,
aud that room would be found ION the same
Limb for any bad Graut negroes sprang
likewise from the spirit of fun i'll the devils.
The naive announcement that five VIGOROUSLY
bad negroes were found swinging by the
"necks TO limbs in tho woods of Colbert
County, q few days since: they had been
"gaily Of making threats against the VhiteS,'
came also from the spirit of fun in the devils.
The remark that "scalawag Cloud of Mont
gomory and carpet bagger Lakin of Nowhere
"would make frst-rate hemp -stretchers, came
only from the spirit of fun in the devils. Funny
devils Hilarious Devils Sides splitting devils! |!
But there is something beside fun in this great
newspaper office, and Dir. II. Randolph out
ranks his devils Here is his own solemn ex-
PLANTATION of his real position, carefully written
ont for Northern consumption: at is not
proper nor Christian to appeal to the law of
" force or violence in our war on these men.
"This course would be both improper and
"iapoHfc. But there is peaceful method of
" conquest more potent and terrible than
"that of violence Peace hath her victories
mot less than war.' Starve them out" On
the whole, we are not certain that we do
not prefer the devils. They are scarcely
more funny, and they are plainly less devil
ish, than their master.

Sir Horatio Seymour! Certainly this has an
uncommonly romantic and chivalrous sound.
We fear that it makes a kind of military man
of ii. s., and will injure him with those who do
not like military candidates; but this point can
be saved by postponing Sir Horatio's installa-
ton until after election. The truth is, the
Governor has been elected an honorary men,
Der of the Order of Seymour Knights" in
New Orleans, and has written letter (very
much in the style of the celebrated water
melon epistle) to say that he accepts the honor,
expresses his joy at being knighted, and prom
ises (after the fashion of Don Quixote) ito re-
"lieve the country from the bad government
(Which now afilicts it," Sir Horatio, we are
informed, has already purchased a full suit Of
armor, and is daily practicing on all the wind
mills in the vicinity of his rural residence. lie
is clearly in luck, for he could MT have better
Sancho Panza than Blair-so far as the eating
and drinking are concerned.

The Democratic Sheriff of Philadelphia yes
terday issued a proclamation arTogating to him.
self paramount powers at the polls the mani
fest object being to prevent Republican
objections to the votes Of Baltimore and New
York roughs. Thereupon the Court of Com
monPleas rendered decision adverse to theSher-
ifs claim. held that the Police acting under the
authority of the Mayor had at least concurrent
power, and gave notice that if the Sheriff
sought to hinder its exercise he should be
promptly arrested, with his deputies. Mani
festly the Democracy are playing a desperate
game; but we have faith that the tried
Republicans of Philadelphia will do all
that true men may to hold them within
the letter of the law. The course of the Sheriff
is skillfully calculated to bring about riot
and the fact that he has armed thousand
Democratic deputies looks as if he meant to
precipitate collision with the Police. If blood
shed should follow, we beg that it may now be
observed whose lawless action provokes it.

Mr. johnson is dispensing with formality
that he may find essential. His order to Dis
trct Commanders, intended to suggest yio-
lation of the law forbidding elections in the
unreconstructed States, was issued in the name
of Gen. Grant, although Gen. Grant knew no
more about it before yesterday than did any
other reader of THE TRIBUNE. The law re-
qurcs that such orders should go through the
General of the Army. 1t may be well enough
for Mr. johnson to understand that forging

The Provisional Junta of Spain signalizes
every day by the proclamation of some new
reforms. This morning our dispatches announce
that the death penalty has been abolished, and
the sanctity of private letters and domiciles
guaranteed. The Cubans in Spain will be per-
mitted to choose two members Of the Junta; a
concession which indicates that Cuba will be
invited to send representatives to the Constitu-
ent Assembly. Gen. Dulce, who was formerly
Captain General of Cuba, and who more re-
Gently was one of the seven Generals who
were banished by Queen Isabella, has been re-
appointed Captain General of Cuba, in place Of
Lersundi. The latter, according to the Journal
des Debdts, had sent in his adhesion to the
Provisional Government. The report mentioned
by Paris paper, that Prim aspires to be King,

While he is coaxed and caresSed by the
Scymourites in some the Southern States, the
persecution of the Freedman has reached to
such pass, in others, that if the Democratic
National Committee cares penny for it's
chances in those States, it must call off its
dogs. Southern passions and prejudices are
rooling it once more, as they have often fooled
the Democratic party in years gone by. The
mad, infuriated, blind, and reckless course pur-
sued by some OF the Southern Seymomites is
not merely alternating such colOred men as
might be disposed to go with that party, but
it is awakening a feeling of indignation at the
North, and driving thousands Of Democrats
into the Republican ranks. They are welcome,
although we bitterly regret the cruel cause of
such accessions. Meanwhile, the Freedman in

Our latest advices express the hopes Of ouI
friends in Ohio for not less than 10000 majority,
of those in Indiana for handsome ma
jority, and of those in Pennsylvania for
certain victory for not less than ten
thousand, in spite of the gigantic frauds in
Philadelphia and elsewhere throughout the
State. These sanguine expectations may be
disappointed, bnt not by the honest vote of
either OF the States in question.
In Philadelphia last night there was deep
though not noisy excitement. The fragrant at
tempts to interfere with the purity of the
election arouse general alarm. We have faith
that no frauds can prevent our victory, but all
will breathe easier when il is announced
that the day has passed in peace. In Cincin-
natl they expect no trouble. The Republicans
there give up three Ohio Congressional districts,
and have fears about one or two more. Schenck
is considered safe, with considerable margin,
