The Taam.ny Judiciary Nominations.

Tno Tnmmany Judiciary Nominanens'
The Tammany Convention which met at the
Wigwam yesterday to make nominations for
the spring elections seemed to have been
governed with good deal Of discretion by the
leaders of the party who, within the walls Of
Tammsny, wear the purple and the diadem Of
power. In the nominations for the additional
Judges they have done well. In the postpone
ment of the nomination Of Alder. en- they have
done better. Precipitancy in such case
might be Injurious. It is always wise to think
over any action Of this kind, to weigh and
balance 1t a little, where popular opinion is In
doubt as to what course may guide 1t at the
POLLS. Therefore It was good policy In the
Tammany directors to take time for reflection
ON the Aldermanic ticket. The public are
somewhat anxious to know whether the
old class Of politicians are to be offered for
their sufrages, as heretofore, or whether the
several respectable citizens of good position
and having some reputation for integrity to
sustain, who, it is said, are willing to run If
nominated. shall find place in the democratic
ticket. The democratic party is now purified.
The rough but wildly ambitious parts Of it
have been snubbed; but it may be said that
the conquest was followed up in kindly and
good natured temper, which did not preclude
the return of some Of the mistaken lambs to the
fold. It is to be expected that Tammany win
give US decent nominations for Aldermen
such names as those outside of the party lines
can vote for and thus strengthen the Tammany
rule Anything less than this will hardly he
endured by the public. Nothing short Of it
can save the supremacy Of the old democracy.
With time for thought, which the Convention
so sagaciously resolved upon, we may hope
for good ticket, composed of reputable
citizens. re. asls
The selection of names adopted yesterday at
Tammany for Judges Of the Court of Common
Pleas and the Marine Court are unexception-
able. Mr.. Hamilton w. Robinson is lawyer
of known brilliant ability. Mr.. DAILY, though
young, has made position for himself at the
bar, which the experience Of the bench, it ID
to be hoped, will strengthen. Mr.. Larremore
has not been at the head of the Board of
Public Education so long without impressing
the public with sense of his capacity and
his integrity. The names on the ticket for
Judges of the Marine Court are not unknown
in the legal walks of life, and may probably
stand on level with any candidates pre-
sented on the other tickets. We presume thai
the Tammany men knew what they were doing
when they decided upon these names, and the
people will have to take them as the best thai
could be offered by the democratic party which
represents the ancient order.

COOP FOR PHILADELPHIA.-It appears that

THE BOARD OF EXCISE COMMISSIONERS in
Brooklyn is very considerate body. An
injured gentleman who was arrested on Sun
day night for keeping his bar open called
upon them yesterday to protect him from any
further interference, and the Board, with an
eye probably to the fact that the outraged
individual is democratic politician of local
influence, Immediately resolved to request the
Police Commissioners hereafter to make no
arrests for violation of the law, but merely to
report such cases. So the law has this terrible
penalty alone attached to its violation in our
sister cty--if man sells liquor on Sunday,
why, the police will tell on him.

THE PRIZE FIGHTERS AND NEW Or
LEANS AUTHORITIES. To-day will come off
near New Orleans the greatest recent event
among prize fighters this side the Atlantic, in
the battle between Mace and Allen. From our
despatch elsewhere it will be noted that the
.fistic heroes have at last found region that is
really land Of promise for their contests-a
land in which fighting is free, in which all the
people sympathize with them, and in which the
police is not only not adverse, but lends its aid
to secure good order. Fifty policemen are de-
tailed to keep the peace near the ring in which
the gladiators are to pound one another. This
has a sound of what is called the ''good old
times" Evidently the prize fighters should
cultivate more intimate relations with
Louisiana.

cerned, a young democrat thinks it ought to
be spelled ''schemer and very adroit one

THE HOWARD INyEsTIGATToN.-To those
who know General Howard and his history it
sounds strangely to see from day to day the
report of an investigation which seems to pre-
sumo that he has misappled government
money entrusted to his keeping. All this,
however, is made clear by the simple explana-
ton that this investigation is upon charges
trumped up against good man and good
soldier by private malice, these charges having
only among Congressman the special counte-
nance of a member whose name does not lend
them strength. Howard, however, will not
plead any statute of limitations.

rmont This Day u Called to the Rescue
ON Woman Suffrage.


The people OF Vermont elect convention
this day which will be empowered to establish
or reject certain proposed amendments to the
State constitution, including woman suffrage.
Each town or towship elects one delegate to
the convention, and only four hours are given
the people in which to make their election.
The Vermont ladies, we are sorry to hear,
evince no great interest in their suffrage
amendment. In fact, it is said they don't care
button whether it is voted up or down, but
are said to be satisfied with the suffrage limited
to ssmy old man and the boys" Still, in some
parts of the State the women's rights women
have been making considerable fuss on the
stump and have been stirring up the old fogies
with their new sensation. II is given out that
in the convention Henry Ward Beecher and
George William Curtis, and perhaps Wendell
Phillips and Lucy Stone will appear as advo-
Gates for the proposed woman's rights amend
ment. The result will be important as show
ing the drift Of the republican party on this
important question; for, though it is not made
regular party affair. the republicans will
undoubtedly control the convention.

creature, called Pullman, who says openly in
the pulpit that one book of the Bible is ''full
of lies" If this is the way the Bible is treated
in the churches we can hardly wonder that it
should be regarded with lessening respect in
some other places. The book that the awfully
truthful Pullman pushes at is the Book of Ec-
clesiastes, the wisest, noblest, finest piece of
poetical philosophy between the covers of the
wonderful volume. Solomon's words are those
of the mature thinker, and Pullman's criticism
is the cackling of green gosling.

A BULL BY THE HoRNs.-A Western paper
states that Senators Dick Yates and Zach
Chandler are both anxious to command the
Big Horn expeditions northwestern land
speculating crusade-and malciously asserts
that "the expedition itself they care nothing
about, but they must have the horn" This
triHing with Senatorial dignitaries is very
unseemly, and should not be tolerated by the
respectable press. In the instances referred
to it will probably appear that neither Of the
gentlemen named ever finds himself in a
dilemma about taking any sort of horn.

Affair. In Cub..


Affairs In Cuba. IA ~ ssa..,
Our late letters from Havana show that
troubles are on the Increase throughout the
island Of Cuba. Among the volunteers there
is growing feeling of dislike to Captain Gen.
eral De Rodas, and there appears an evident
disposition on their part to shape the course
Of events throughout the country SO that 1t
shall run in channels to suit themselves. We're
they satisfied they possessed the power it is
questionable whether they would continue to
acknowledge the supremacy Of the mother
country. The volunteers Of Cuba at this day
are as insubordinate to Spanish authority as
they dare be, and as revolutionary as the
Cubans who are now in rebellion In the field.
They show this in their act of threatening vio-
lence to Don Jose M. Diaz, who has been sent
from Spain to supersede the present political
Governor Of Havana, Lopez Roberts. The
present incumbent Is all that can be desired by
the Havana volunteers, and hence their opposi-
ton to Diaz. Valmaseda, the particular pet
of the army, 1t is rumored, will also be sent
home, and thus dangerous man and an ambi-
tious aspirant for the highest post on the
island will be put out Of the way. The news
also comes to us from our correspondent in
Havana that De Rodas' position is not
an enviable one, and that his stay at
Puerto Principe may be rendered longer
than he anticipated. Havana during
his absence in the Central Department has
been made the rendezvous for plotters and
conspirators with objects in view, 1t is thought,
not at all friendly to Spain, and decidedly
hostile to De Rodas The failure of the home
government to effectually suppress the revo-
luton is an experience which the volunteers
now fully recognize Possibly believing that
the United States may yet secure by purchase
the island of Cuba, these volunteers, actuated
by mercenary motives, are now endeavoring to
show their power, in order that they may put
money in their purses. AS their acts in the
and bloody, so their aspirations looking to
the future are mean, mercenary and con-
temptible. It should be borne in mind, how
ever, that the volunteers and those who
endorse them are but a small minority of the
natives of the island. At the beginning of
the revolution they threw themselves on
the side of Spain, and in ferocity they out
Spaniard the Spaniards. Seeing the weakness
of the government with which they at first
cast their fortunes, they now seek to embarrass
it. In this they prove themselves traitors at
heart. unworthy Of confidence, respect or
esteem. Be the day far off OF near at hand,
Cuba must eventually become part Of this
republic, and when that day arrives the
Cuban people may feel assured that their rights
will be duly and fully acknowledged.
