Some time ago, Governor Hoffman, Of
New York, jeff. Davis, of Mississippi, and
Gilbert O.. Walker, formerly of Buffers
Amy, now chief Executive Of Virginia, by
the grace of true Republicans and sweet
scented Democrats, met in Richmond, and
spent several days in manipulating political
affairs.
We then informed our readers they were
concocting some devilish scheme, and that
we should keep sharp lookout on their
actions, and if we could learn their intent
we would expose it.
This primary meeting has at last devel-
oped itself into something that will starlle
our citizens, and which will doubtless be
denied, but what we say IS bue 10 the letter,
and il denied at all, it will be done through
innocent ignorance or corrupt know,eegc,
with the hope to deceive and mislead.
An effort is now being made to peipetu-
ate, in this city, the order of rule in vogue
IN New York. The Democracy of the me-
tropolis have taken steps to introduce its
benefcent sway throughout The country,
and Richmond is not TO be overlooked.
Indeed, we are enabled TO say, on reliable
authority, that an agent of Tammany is
now in our city, marshaling the faithful n
private session and by secret oath. Is this
an admission that the ring is to be broken
up at home, to find refuge abroad? Are
our citizens willing to be plundered and
rendered worse than bankrupt by the
satellites of Democracy Or is it a confess
sion by the "un.errified'' here that they
cannot manage tleir own affairs, but must
bring the experienced Yankee Democracy
to help them to run our local State
politics?
In either event, Tammany is here, repre-
sented by living, moving, and wide-awake
agent, who is now engaged initiating cor
rupt politicians and innocent young men in
to the mysteries of Tammany corruption
and fraud. These meetings are held at mid
night, when honest men are asleep, and its
members required to take an oath to sup
port its constitution and bylaws.
1t is in short such an organization as
Henry A. Wise fought so gallantly and
killed so efiectually during his gubernatori-
al canvass. 1t is such an organization as
Virginia gentlemen abhor and scorn to JON,
such as no honest, high-minded and intelli-
gent man will countenance. OF this class,
Democracy in Virginia claims to be COM
posed.
1t may, in the midst of exciting political
CAMPAIGN flourish for awhile, like the Upas
tree, scattering it's poison among those who
approach, but the day for such things to
flourish indefinitely has passed in Virginia,
and we thank God it has.
We propose to become better acquainted
with this organization and its tools here,
and when we do so will let our readers
know more of them.

MANY RICHfONDS IN THE FIELD.-
From number of articles we see in other
papers, written from Richmond, there are
any number of Democratic aspirants here
for legislative honors. The quantity seems
like the widows cruse-inexhaustible.
Among The many named we find prominent
the name of our friend Gilman, of the En-
qptre,, who seems to be tie general favor
lite with all the scribblers. Between he
and they, there seems to be a remarkable
affinity, which may be accounted for upon
the principle of "a fellow feeling, &c.,
If there is man who is entitled to ,em-
poral honors (up in Heaven 'tis said news
papers and their makers stand but little
show it is the man Who labors with his
mind and muscle TO please everybody and
his wiie-and that man is he of the pencil
and quill, who never rests, but IS ever
awake to Che wants Of his community.
We cannot believe, nor will we consent
to admit it, that Richmond city is to be
represented in the next Legisla IRE by
Democrats, but il, by reason of divisions
among ourselves, or for want Of sufficient
votes, the Republican party must be defeat
ell, we shall feel our defeat much less if
the whole Democratic ticket is comp osed
of gentlemen like Colonel Gilman. 10 be
successful las the maker of newspaper,
(and we concede Gilman success) one
must be possessed of enlarged and liberal
views; man must be firm, yet just; if in
the right, stand by it, if wrong and in error,
possess the manliness and honesty to ac-
knowledge the wrong and proceed with
alac ,sy to correct it,
I-e who attempts to lead and control
public sentiment, (and we must yield to the
press this power,) who is unfortunately
possessed with narrow and contracted
vision, who is sectional or sectarian, will
be forced finally to acknowledge himself a
perfect failure, and the enterprise with
which he is connected must go down among
the ruins of the world. OF this latter
class, we do not believe Colonel Gilman to
be a member, and we sincerely regret that
a gentleman of his capacity and enlarged
views should be member of the party
which, although possibly having the power
to confer sectional honors upon him, must,
as long as his association continues, confine
him to circle too small for his more adj
vanced ideas.
Wishing the Colonel no greater harm, for
the sake of our common country, than an
overwhelming defeat, should Democracy set
him up, we feel Repubicanism win find in
him foe worthy its steel.

Seventeen Money Packages and F0rty-two
Registered Letters Stolen.
form the Cairo nl.) Bulletin.

lForm the Cairo (nl.) Bulletin]
Twice within the present month the mo-
ney packages and registered letters confided
to the care of the mailagent on the steamer
Illinois have been stolen from the mall
room. On Monday evening last, as Officer
Arnold informs us, seventeen money pack
ages and forty-two registered letters, be-
sides other mail matter, was delivered by
the postal authorities at Columbus to the
mail agent on board the steamer Illinois for
transportation to Cairo. The Illinois, it is
known, arrived at this port, on her last trip
up, about midnight and the mail agent,
not feeling secure, as he asserts, in carry
ing the valuable portion of the mail matter
from the boat to our postof1ice, at that
hour, retained it in his possession, ntend-
ing to deliver it the following afternoon on
the next trip Of the boat.
In the meantime, however, the Illinois
made trip to Hickman. While on her re-
turn to Columbus, a splash was heard in
the water, the boat stopped, and the box
which should contain the packages and let
ters was fished up. An instant, but fruit
less, search was made for its contents. On
Tuesday night officer Arnold and govern
ment detective, who, it is said, is the father
of the mail agent, instituted search of all
the boats crew in any way suspected, but
it, like the other efforts in the same direc-
ton, revealed nothing. Why the valuables
were not deposited in safe during their
transit is not explained, though such pre-
caution, besides being customary, would, it
seems, suggest itself to any prudent custo-
dian OF the mails. Tho whole matter is a
puzzle to the officers, who are doing their
best to solve IL

The CONCERT LAST NIGHT.-The last
of the two concerts advertised by the Gal
ton troupe, came off at Assembly Hall last
night. The audiencei in attendance was not
large not so large by hundred, perhaps,
as attended the night before. OF the sing
ing, we shall not attempt to speak in detail.
We heard much to commend, and also
much that would not bear close criticism.
On the whole, however, it was rather an
enjoyable performance, and several of the
pieces were vociferously encored.
We see it stated that the troupe will
give concert in Washington city tonight.

Z ACCOMMODATIONS FOR MEMBERS OF
TIE LEGIsLATURE.-Wha a sad COM
inentary upon present corruptions, is con-
tanned in the letter of Democratic writer
in the Norfolk Vagiaian of yesterday, who
says: "One of our most popular sporting
men is enlarging and otherwise improving
his establishment, for the better accomno-
datiOn of members Of the Legislature"
We hear Of other establishments white
washing, carpeting and repairing for similar
purposes. The people, it seems 10 us, have
the control of selecting men to represent
them in the coming Legislature, and there
is no reason why these selections should be
made of men for whose entertainment
great preparations, in certain quarters, are
being made.
These preparations" account for the
necessity of '.jobs !" Tor the zeal exhibited
all over the country to serve the '!Giear
people," and we do hope these same dear
people will see to it, that men will be sent
to represent them, who need and will
have no other than the ordinary "prepara-
tioas' for the accommodation of gentle
men, VINO should come here 10 labor and
not TO -rolic. We shall have more TO say
in the future of the decentralization Of the
two or three hour system, of our present
Legislative bodies, in which our readers will
find contrasted the days of the past with
those of the present.
