The sudden rise Of the thermometer has inden.
nitely postponed all active operations In anairs po-
litca There is, OF course, corresponding rail- or
lul in the initiatory movements set on foot few;
weeks ago for an early contest over the State Both
partes-the party in power and the new party THAI
is organized to test TaInrnaHy's diplomacy In the
municipal government-are 1t may almost be SAID
literally Az wen as metaphorcaly, resting on their
oars. The Tammany chiefs and all their most
trusted henchmen have returned TO the Branch Sar'

OF all things that may tend to any further excltet

In the animal Kingdom whose SKINS or consciences
nothing can penetrate-even they have taken a
further lease of their retreats and will not show
themselves until some fail takes place In the 'her'
mometer. There is therefore very little to chronicle
either to changes on the slate OF the exers
tons OF new rivals aspirants after the oices to
be filled.
KEEPING THINGS QUIET.
As we before noted there is an evident desire on
the part Of the Tammany folks to keep things as
quiet as possible. They are elegraphed OF breakers
anead, and they are endeavoring to keep the ol0
ship as close. hauled to the wind as possible. The
object Of those who are present in command Is tca
weather the threatened Storm with she loss, 1t may
be- OF some SAIL spars and rigging, but at all events
to give her over In manageable condition to the
chief pilot who is at present making all haste to re-
sumo command OF the old craft.
THE BELMONT AFFAIR.
1t was under all the circumstances, bold stroke
OF the chief sachem at such crisis to discount the
late chairman Of the National Democratic Commits
toe, Belmont who has hitherto insisted upon
"shent per shentn in all little matters In which he
was negotlator. But the die Is cast and the "Au"
gust Belmont is parah,n as.'a his fathers'' were
from the new democratic dispensation as announced
by william M. Tweed, chief sachem or rabbi OF the
Tammany temple.
There Is something more than the bill OF charges
presented 10 the public in the resolutions adopted at
the Tweed Democratic Association Of the seventh
ward on Thursday evening last to nstigate to the
initiatory movement of the Seventh warders This
is very new organization--is IN fact " banner
guard politically speaking, which Is maintained
with the spirit and to the end with which and for
which 1t has been initiated, may prove OF great SER"
vice to the city at large III political point OF view.
and that is in direction that embraces almost every
public good. But the fact is according to the
resolutions OF the Tweed Democratic Association
that Mr.. BelmOnt's further continuance In
the chair OF the Democratic National Committee, az
ms sre IN ME- wn n one
campaign and Of the defeat OF Seymour IN another,
viii inevitably lead to the defeat OF Governor HON,
early showing an interest in Governor Hoffman, IL
the spirit OF the resolutions 80 far as touched upon
their denunciatory resolutions contains. like the
postscript of adys letter the whole kernal Of tho
Mr. BenlOnt should be invited to retire, and that
Mr.. William NJ Tweed Is an eminently ut and proper

resolutions The Seventh warders are moved In the
whole matter Of their organization by the purest
motives. They are anxious to shake OF their
shoulders the tcubf, in the form Of most inefficient
incompetent and unpopular ward representations
many Of the most respectable men Of the ward. in
organizing to effect that object possible, have

the support to be given to the resolutions OF the
Seventh ward democrats-the Tweed Association OF
@ ens o. ,1s
Is pretty clear from point 10 point OF the political
horlzon-that there is blow coming on which
| threatens to throw Tammany out OF her course. Up
to the opening OF the campaign precipitated by ar
ticles IN the HERALD, ali seemed calm, clear and
from here to the fall; but squalls have suddenly
broken forth In different quarters, aud IL viii

THE OFFICES.
AS regards the offces, which we have In several
| previous articles enumerated. and presented the
names OF the several candidates therefor there IL
nothing new to note. The hot weather Of the past
few days has even made politicians to wilt, and the
ginning OF the week feels himself now at the end SO
weak that 1t IS only with the faintest OF smiles he
stands up 10 do his thirsty devolrs at the places

| School Trustees and school Commissioners, even
the Cor0ners are on the wing seeking rest and find

rather than touch them at the present time.
There Is only one exception TO the general stagna-
ton. The ndomitable Cohen in the absence OF Peter
Bismarck Sweeny, is after William NJ. Tweed with

Tweed does not enter into alliance, pedging the as,

soever else Is permitted to do homage within the
