 There is spirited attempt in New York City to overthrow the Tammany ticket by combination of Republicans and Young Democracy. We do not imagine it will be successful. but it may make good beginning. The chance of Republican success in the State would be good were there political interest enough to bring out full vote. The Democratic majority in the city will evidently be less than usu- al. In Massachusetts, Phillips, and all the odds and ends, Jack Adams, and Chafin, are having triangular fight of it, with small chance of success for the two former. The first days returns will be found in an- other column. ...s ...t. ..,a ,a -ss.Hf

JUSTICE. The passage of the late Ma tional election law brings rascally repeaters before court that is not subject to Tam amy Fisk influence. U. s. Judge Woodruff upholds the constitutionality of the law, and brings criminals to speedy trial and to condign punishment. Honesty is such a rare quality in the New York judiciary that the metropolis stands amazed at the sight of it.

FATAL BURNING ACCIDENT. -" On Mon. day evening, Mrs. Margaret Greenleaf, an estimable widow lady about fifty years of age, was so badly burned by the explosion of kerosene lamp, that death ensned on Wednesday morning. The unfortunate Ia. dy was on her way .up-stairs for the pnr- pose of retiring, when suddenly the lamp fiared up, then, with a crash, exploded, scattering the flaming contents over her person. She was slightly stunned at first; but the great peril in which she was placed being alone in the housc--made her put forth frantic efforts III trying to extingnish the flames, and she finally reached ibs front door, when her screams brought e couple of gentlemen to her assistance from store near by. The poor lady fell as she passed the door, and when the gentlemen came up, they found her almost insensible, and enveloped in flames. Throwing their overcoats around her, they soon smothered the flames; but she was shOckingly iDjur. ed. Her eyes were almost burned out; the hands were so badly burned that the skin and nails pealed off; the hair was burned completely from her head, and the upper part of her person was dreadfully burned, especially the breast and neck. She en- dured most intense agony until death re- lieved her sufferings. ."-MiddIeser Co. Dem. 1; There is no longer any need of the oc- currence of such accidents as the above. Pratt's Astral Oil is perfectly safe llumi. hating oil, and can bs obtained of dealers generally. If lighted lamp filled with this be upset and broken, the contents will not explode nor take fire. Ask your deal CT for it, and don't endanger your lives by burning kerosene.

DEMOCRATIC TALK-The Delaware Re-
publican utters the following sentiments.
We shall expect to hear, next, that the
Commercial has read it out of the party !:
The premium on gold is steadily declining
BY economy on the part of the citizens Of the en-
tire country, 1t viii soon be worth no more than
bank paper Resumption of specie payments
may therefore speedily follow. Indeed it might
take place any week, if the duties on imports
were made receivable in currency. The issuing
OF money and then refusing TO take it for any
Kind of Indebtedness is an outrage that should
never have been tolerated. This act produced
all the gold gambling, the premium on gold, and
the great increase OF price in most descriptions Of
goods. The U. s. Treasurer had much better
have gone abroad and purchased the gold neces-
sary to have paid interest on loans than that the
people should have been so greatly .aeeced by the
operation of gold gamblers and stock jobbers
currency that is good enough for the payment
OF debts should be good enough for the payment
OF duties, and we hope that the atrocious error
made in this respect, may soon be corrected.
