CAiiOu .SSt'hHSs
The proceedings at the grand ratification
meeting OF the Democracy were significant
in many resp. cts and were especially so in
the marked indisposition Of the leaders to
6pht over again the issues Cs the dead past
Gov. SEYMOUR, who, Is WIS fitting, made
the first set speech IN the wigwam Of Tam
many, struck the keynote of the meeting
by declaring, in his opening scntcnc,, that
AMIDST the questions involved in this cleo

others. is the sui ect Of internal comm cree"
This emphatic utterance by SO distinguished
q Democrat doubtless exerted its appropri.
ute influence upon eli the speakers who fol
lowed him, The Hon. NJ. G. KERR, the
able member Of Congress from Indiana, who
Immediately succeeded Gov SEYMOUR,
had nothing 30 say about the war or
reconstruction, but confined himself mainly
To discussion Of the alleged election frauds
in this oity and the recent acts of Congress
pertaining to naturalization and the reglla
ton Of voting at State elections, iuterminglcd
with criticisms of the tariff and the financial
policy Of Nj. boutwell,, The Hon. JAMES

We print on the next page the proceedings
of the Cartmen of our city who deem themselves
aggrieved by recent order from Collector
Grnnell designating the manner in which the
carting of goods while they are under the con-
troll of the Custom House shall be done. There
are plausible reasons for the new rule; and
yet we suspect its adoption might better have
been forborne; for the Collector has stirred up
a hornets nest and will be apt to hear from
it for many days yet. The fact that parti-
san aspect is given to the matter-that Repub-
licans only are to be employed as cartmen here
after-makes it wear repulsiye aspect. We
want to pass Mr. Jenckes's Civil Service bill,
and thus restrict the sphere of partisansllip in
public affairs; but this rule extends it, Must
prescription descend at length to boot-black
and laundresses7 .-
We pray the aggrieved merchants and cartmen
to unite with us in demanding the utter aboli-
ton of the Warehousing system. 1t is full of
iniquity, and ever must be. Let all goods re-
main on shipboard till the duties are paid; and
then the owner may give the carting of them
to whomsoeyer he will.
