Carpet-BaggeTS.

Northern Radical papers frequently and
unwittiugly give their real estimate of the
Southern Carpet baggers. The Washing
ton correspondent of the Boston Ad0erti-
ser, in speaking of the resignation of De-
weese OF this State, says; His departure
is no loss to Congress; for he is one of the
lowest class of carpet-baggers. Nothing
harsher, in the estimation of this Massa-
chusetts Radical can be said of Deweese
than that he is one of the lowest order of
evidently implying that
the highest class of these fellows is low
enough. What an unenviable position do
these people hold even in the estimation
of those who have forced them into posi-
tions over the Southern people.

Nav York Democracy.

The county elections in New York con-
Ainue to show universal ana Importanl
Democratic triumphs. Oswego gave Cen
eral S1eE1 two hundred and ninety-one
majority and now elects the whole Demo
cratic ticket Auburn, the home of the
veteran SEWARD, has always been RepuO'
licau. Last fall the Republican majority
was three hundred and thirty-seven. Now
that is wiped out and a Democratic ma
ioritv returned. But the most significant
vote is in Newburg Mr.. GREENE, Demo
crat, was recently deprived of his seat in
Congress, which was given TO VAN WICK
upon the grounds that Democratic frauds
were perpetrated. In that election VAN
WICK, though defeated, received one hun
dred majority in Newburg. He is now re-
pudiated in that city, which elects Demo
cratic Mayor by some two hundred ma
iority.
The New York Herald says:
sSThe Democrats have thus far gained upon
their last vote wherever heard from; DelaWsrt
county lie claimed to be redeemed, the Board o.
Supervisors being Democratic-ten to elghtL1or

shape for easy reference, the record of the
members CT the Senate who voted last Fri
day to abolish the Investigating committee
previously raised by Resolution of the
Senate. The direct and only effect of the
passage Of the Resolution of Mr.. Smith of
Wilkes, would have been to stifie investi-
cation almost entirely, and cloak and hide
the frauds and swindles of those who have
heretofore escaped, either on account of
the yacillating efforts at investigation, or
by running away to get out of the reach of
questions, of the suspected parties.

As the last sport was drawing to close,
and the evening shades began to thicken,
the distant strain of music came. floating
along from the direction of the great
Octogon building; in another part Of the
grounds. All who had not already gone,
hastened toward the naw brilliantly
lighted building, some to participate IN the
may dance, others to enjoy the sight OF the
many twinkliug feet There, from early
twilight far away into the small hours, not
less than two thousand light fantastic toes
tripped it with ierial lightness, to the sound
of sweet music, in an ecstacy OF the poetry
of motion. 80 "a
The sportive dance was intermitted some
where about ten o'clock, to draw the prizes
Numbering one hundred), which might be-
come the lot of any who had purchased an
admission. The drawing went on with
noise and clatter, and such jubilee shouting
that # every one in the building had drawn
a prize. the joyousness could not have been
greater. Then the dancing went on again,
and SO went ON almost till daylight did
appear. .,
Seldom has there been an occasion where
the mirth and fun has been less marred by
the least untoward circumstance. 1t was
all rose and no thorn. OF course the ''sOul
of plays and pranks'' was to be had in SUI
perabundance. But nothing occurred from
beginning to end to mar the enjoyment.
This is great deal to say of company
consisting of not less than 1000, assembled
expressly to make merry, and Is highly
credi Able to the gentlemen who constituted
the committee of management. We were
not able to learn the names of the several
gentlemen who seemed to be in all parts OF
the ground at once, seeing that an had
within their reach the means Of ample en-.
joyment. But we are particularly indebted
to A. Lasalle, Esq, treasurer OF the assOci
alton. for "a great deal OF the information We
gathered on the ground, and for other polite
attentions. a a..

mirable arrangements made by the man.

tival, adding to other means Of enjoyment
to be provided for the next occasion a more
extensive provision for prandial exercise, IN
the shape of tirst-class restaurant. a7T-

to the interest of every clerk or emplOye II
