evening State SoarnaI.
IN A BAD ItUMOR--THE OK AND BULL
STORY REPEATS ITSELF.

Our friend, the Whig, is extremely pug
nacious this MOI aing, because, as il
charges, the people of the North are d's-
posed to "snub'' the people of the South
in every way possible. Now all this would
be well enough, and its indis nation would
partake somewhat of righteousness, but for
the acknowledgment that the tine aocs
when the Southern people treated those oil
the North in the same way.
Did the Wing ever read the Ok and Boil
story? We presume it has, therefore we
will not repeat it.
Did it ever hear "What's sauce for the
Goose is sauce for The Gander?" We
imagine it has, but it don't like being the
Gander bit.
1t objects to their failure to copy from
Southern newspapers. This charge is a
true one, but why should they do it?
With few exceptions, and those confined to
Republican papers, Southern journals are
filed with ISLANDERS and abuse Of the North,
and her people, and except to show the ami
mus, there is no reason to imagine abuse
of themselves, would be acceptable to Their
readers.
Long since, the masses Of the North
have learned the unkind feeling towards
themselves, as evinced in every Democratic
paper IN the South, and there is no longer
a necessity, even as matter of news, for
copying from our leading papers matter
already furnished to them.
Northern people world l''se occasionally
to see something from our papers inviting
them to bring hhe'r capital and enterprise
among us, but n its stead they find a pre-
ference always expressed for foreign immi-
grafton and capital. Forcis s.icrs with capi-
tai are satisfied to remain in the Old World, /,
or if they elect to try the New, they prefer
the prosperous North to the indolent and
fast decaying South Foreigners without
capital are of but little service to Virginia,
or Virginia to them, for they can always
find in the great West more profitable
field and more conger'al association.
The section thus supercilously snub-
bed," snubs itself. These thirteen great
States though their intelligent white men
say they are opposed to the government and
its present policies, and if the intelligence
had its choice it would be glad to sever its
connection altogether. But it may be
truly said our people are the hardest to
please that cyst on the earth. If they are
let alone, they cry 6 snubbed," if any thing
is said Of them and their States, they say
the "cussed'' Yankee is interfering with
our business, and so on, and so on.
OF one thing we may be sure, and that
is, that the Northern people, who are the
power of tbs government, have exhausted
their patience trying to conciliate the people
of the South. They have fed us on sugar
and candies as long as there was hope of
our ceasing to bawl, and if they have de-
ternined to let us severely alone, we have
none to blame but ourselves. They want
and intend to make us pay taxes, (our por-
ton, and if we wont come in and see the
show after paying our money, why we can
stay out, but the show must 90 on, as there
is a crowd inside that have paid their
money, and taken their choice Oh The in

TRAINS For THE FAIR GRoUNDs.-
We direct the attention of the puSlic to the
special arrangements made by the Rich
mond, fredericksburg and Potomac Rail-
road company, for the transportation of
passengers to and from the Fair, which
opens at the grounds near the city on Tues
day morning next. AS will be seen, the
regular mail and express trains will not
stop at the fair grounds, but special trains
will be run at short intervals during each
day for the accommodation of visitors.
The fare is ten cents each way, and much
trouble and confusion will be avoided by
purchasing tickets at the office, on Broad
street, as suggested by the company, be-
fore entering the cars.

New-York tribune. [volume] (New York [N.Y.]) 1866-1924, 1871-10-27

Though the Tammany chief is at bay, he is
not yet in the hands Of his pursuers. The
formal process taking him in custody will be
served to-day, and the proceedings begun at
Albany will go on until we find out if this
bold robber can always bid defiance to the
laws Mr. Tweed has heretofore affected a
jaunty air of indifference, and has never so
far as the public knows, vouchsafed the slight
est defense or explanation of himself. His
policy has been steadily to deny every
thing" This line he is still pursuing, and he
declares that he has nothing to say. There is
some satisfaction, at least, in knowing that the
leader of tho Ring cannot forever thus turn
aside the storm by his unrufled and imper-
turbable impudence. The guilt of the man IS
conclusively established in tho published evil
dence, but nobody need expect that the bench
men of the Chief will believe the most con-
elusive testimony, nor readily relinqnish their
burly proprietor to the clutches of the law.

TILE PROSPECT,

There is no great excitement IN our SI!Co
with regard to our pending Election anu tlls
is at it should be. We seek verdict from
the reason of the people, not from their pas
sions. The calmer and cooler they may be,
the more surely will the astounding develop
ments of Democratic frauds in our City affect
their feelings and govern their votes. In
season of fierce excitement of intense, absorb
ing partisanship, they might pass uncOnsidered
or unfelt; but, IN times like these, the "still,
small voice" is widely heard and needed.
1t is idle to pretend that these frauds are
local in their character. They are the founda-
ton of Democratic ascendency in our State.
The Ring" which peIpetrated them made
John T.. Hoffman OUT Governor by lavish
disbursement of the money which they have
been stealing from our taxpayers by Millions.
This money, beside paying their repcaters,
illegal voters, and miscOunters here, was sowed
broadcast over the whole State. 1t swelled the
Democratic vote enormously in each of our
last four State Elections. 1t elected Demo-
cratic Senators from districts strongly
Republican like the Oneida, the Chenango,
and the Monroe. 1t has repeatedly tipped
the scale against us in such close counties
as Warren, Lewis, Fulton, and Clinton.
But for the gigantic villainies which have
swelled our Cty's taxes and trebled her Debt,
Seymour could never have seemed to carry the
Electoral Vote of the Empire State. The
bribery whereby shameless bills have been
rushed through successive Legislatures was
but the natural sequence and supplement of
the bribery whereby so many corrupt rascals
bought their way into those Legislatures. 1t
is impossible that the towering fabric should
fall without burying many of those it has
sheltered and pampered beneath its ruins.
Corruption is not confined to one party.
Rogues will don any livery that promises
IMMUNITY in fraud But detected knaves are
apt to quit the scenes of their exposed vllainies
and seek fresh fields and pastures new"
Republican peculators, when their thefts are
brought home to them, have at least the
decency to abscond. Yet here stands Tweed.
with his confederates and accOmplices, not
merely Drawing the public Indignation and
scorn, but actually seeking reelection to the high
trusts they have betrayed from the very COM
munity they have so immensely robbed There
is nothing like it in the worlds history. They
evidently fancy that their stolen money will
enable them to brave public sentiment and
purchase votes as readily as of old. Let US show
them how far they have over-estimated the
power of money and misjudged the force of
outraged and indignant public virtue. We
shall be sorely disappointed if the popular
verdict against the party of which Tweed has
for years been dictator, and of which he is
again q candidate for Senator, be not emphatic
and overwhelming.

GENERAL RITTER

Gen. Butler quotes THE TRIBUNE as saying
in effect that "Gen. Butler ought to know,
"before he talks to an audience any more, that
4" the reason why the date of the 9th of April,
1885, was taken as the limit of our liabilities
"was because all the cotton [pledged for the
Confederate Loan was captured after that
L" time :" and he adds the consoling informa-
ton that "Gen. Butler knows what he Is talk
/" ing about" We never said what the Cen
eral gives US credit for; but no matter; the
mistake has led the Essex orator to confess
that his extraordinary misrepresentation are
not chargeable to the score of ignorance, and
that is something gained. For the pub
lie information, therefore, and not for
his, we purpose to state more fully the
case of the cotton bonds. Gen. Butler asserts
that most of the cotton was captured by Sher-
mans army in 1854. A great deal Of cotton
was seized by Sherman, of course; great deal
was seized by various commanders all through
the war; but the cotton set apart by the Con-
federate Government for the payment of the
loan, and stored for that purpose in the Gov
eminent warehouses; was not confscated until
the Summer Of 1855, and it is for this cotton
only that the United States could be held re-
spOnsble were there no limitation Of time in
the Treaty. The Confederacy continued to
recognize it's liability for the cotton loan by
paying the interest on it up to March, 1865.
After the negotiation Of the Treaty the bond
bOlders applied to Lord Granville for infor-
nation whether their claims were excluded.
His Lordship declined to give an opinion, but
significantly referred them to Article XII,
which limits the claims subject to adjustment
by the Commission to those arising ont of
acts committed between the 18th of April,
1881, and the 9th of April, 1885.
With regard to the latter date, it may be
necessary to inform Gen. Butler that it does
not mark the close Of the war, though it is the
date of the surrender of Lee; and when there
was question what precise period should be
specified in Article XII. of the Treaty, the
date of Lees surrender was chosen rather than
any later day, with the distinct understanding
that the cotton claims would thereby be ex-
cludcd. This acceptation of the clause has
BEEN publicly referred to in England as well

opr,cE HOLDIHG REPUBLIClNISM.

T8s N. Y. Times will not be able to draw
this journal into further discussion at this
time Of differences among the Republicans Of
our City-differenccs which are in process of
adjustment, and which now present no eb-
stacle to harmonious action in the impending
struggle Those who have been stigmatized as
"Tap,hlaay Republicans" are proving the false
hood of that imputation by something better
than words. Of the candidates distinctively
nominated by them, q part have been noml-
mated also by the Townsend organization as
worthy and unexceptionable while nearly all
the rest have either formally declined or
stand ready 10 do so whenever that step shall
tend to harmonize and invigorate the party.
1t shall not be the fault of our side If there
be two Republican candidates in any Senate
or Assembly district tomorrow night.
AS to the future. the State Convention dis
tnctly provided for a consolidation of the
party in this City-an absurdly superfuous
procedure if The Times is correct in regarding
the old Twenty -secondst. organization as al
ready superseded and rightfully extinct. Mr..
Cornell, Chairman of the new State Commit
tee, addressing Mr.. Greeley as Chairman OF
the Union Republican General Committee, has
solicited of him an overture looking to the
consolidation aforesaid, which Mr.. Greeley has
made accordingly; and that overture has been
referred by the State Committee to its
Executive Committee, which now has it
under consideration. It's essence is the
choice of o new General Committee for
1872 under the auspices Of an Inspec-
tor appointed on behalf of each of the General
Committees hitherto existing and an impartial
Umpire agreed on by the two, under pledge
that every one who votes the Republican State
Ticket at our ensuing election shall be en-
titled to enrolment as q member of the Re-
publican Association of his Assembly District
So manifestly fair is this proposition that we
cannot doubt its acceptance; and that must
be the end of all distinction among the
Republicans of our City until those who may
chance to be outvoted in our General Commit
tee shall be melted to another bolt. We trust
that this will not be in our day; and, until it
occurs, there is nothing left to divide us, I'M
less it shall be made an offcnse to differ with
the office-holdors with regard to some future
