ER-YORK'S OPPORTUNITY

For the last four years, our State has been
ruled by the Democratic party. That party
has won its triumphs through Wholesale cor
ruption and fraud. 1t has carried ON its CAM
paigns with money stolen at first by tens of
thousands, latterly by millions, from the
taxpayers of our City. Villainous Tax-Leyies.
reeking all over with shameless robbery, have
been put through Legislature after Legislature,
against the indignant remOnstrances of our plum
dered citizens, unconsidered and sometimes un-
read. They were always kept back till the close
of the session, and then rushed through pell-
nell under the plea of want of time. Democrats
in successive Legislatures may have voted
for them without pay--Or rather, in payment
for the money stolen there and poured out In
their districts to elect them; while the few
Republicans needed to exc out a majority have
generally taken their pay in cash down. Gene

that this was local matter, wherein the will

publicans whose votes Tweed must have, did
his work for his wages, and went home enriched
and disgraced. In one instance, as lie currently

If anything about the Fenian Invasion" of
Manitoba could be more ridiculous than the
invasion itself, it would be the panic that the
Canadians invariably get into whenever the
men in green make the least demonstration.
O'Donohue and O'Nein having crossed the
border Of Winnipeg, captured post garrisoned
by three men and two women, and then quietly
sat down to breakfast, are in turn surprised
by United States troops, who considered the
territory debatable ground, and are taken
prisoners The news reaching Canada causes
the usual great excitement, and a force is at
once dispatched to guard the frontier against
the dreaded Yankee-Fenians But it is an
i'll wind that blows no good, and we need not
consider the Pembina farce resultless, since
the part our troops played in its extinguish-
ment moved the English papers to say that
such friendly service should be recognized by
giving aid to our burned city of the North
West.

THE GATTO Murder.

The murder of Cato in Philadelphia has
apparently produced stronger revulsiOn of
feeling there than all the other outrages of
the riot during the recent election. 1t has
come to be matter Of course in that city, it
appears, for the Democratic police to guard
the polls and incontinently knock down or
shoot oolored voters who claim their right to
support the Republican ticket. In the Fourth
and Fifth Wards, at this and the previous
election negroes were shot down like sheep,
and no result followed, either in the punish
ment of law or the indignation of public SEN
timent Any colored man under the present
rule who attempts to vote does it knowingly
at the risk Of his life. This was an acknowl-
edged fact, but produced no effect on the
peace-loving Quakers until the assassination
of Cato reused them from their stupor. The in
dignant call for the public meeting of Saturday
to denounce the murderer was signed, we per-
ceive, by some of the leading men of the city ;
and the funeral, yesterday, is represented as
imposing in its display, and attended by
great concourse of excellent citizens
Cato was the Principal of an Institute for
colored children; man of culture and a
quiet, inoffensive gentleman, obnoxious to the
roughs simply because he had devoted himself
to the amelioration and elevation of the con-
dition of his race. While going quietly home,
on the day of the election, he was shot on the
sidewalk by some rufian, who coOlly walked
| off among the crowd.
Now, for the life of us, we cannot see why
the aristoeratic Philadelphians should make
any pOther about the matter, hold mass
meetings in National Hall, or show their
righteous wrath at the murderer by unwonted
zeal in funeral services for a martyr whose
life they did 30 little to protect. The
poor wretch of O murderer but acted
after the habits of his kind. He was
q wolf, and he bit. The teeth were
ms by nature, but the wolish spirit came to
him from bis betters-from the very men who
hold meetings to denounee him. There is no
place where the colored man has striyen harder
ana more successfully to prove himself man
than In the City Of Brotherly Love, and there
n no place where he has had to fight his way
against greater odds in the intolerant tyranny
tnat rates MIN as not man, but brute. The
negro regiment drilled and camped outside of
the city, was, forced to sneak in ciyilian,s
clothes 20 the train that was. to carry them
to tne battlefield, lest they should be
mobbed for fighting for their country. This
was oeiore Emancipation, it Is true but now,
a'thoueh some of the most scholarly and
weaithlest citizens of Philadelphia have black
olood IN Their VEINS although their schools
and colleges rank with the highest. no colo,sd

TILE INSURANCE CRISIS.

The meeting of Underwriters yesterday,
heartily, and even enthusiastically sustained
the views advanced in THE TRIBUNE as to
the conduct of Superintendent Miller; and,
in giving the lie direct to the wanton charges
of The Times INDUCED in plainness and
an abundance of speech not common
in these financial matters. The Under
writers and the superintendent meet each
other in the best possible spirit, and there is
every indication that their joint efforts will
tide us safely over the dangerous crisis, and
avert the panic tho Observation-Disclosures have been
doing their worst to create.
The one thing to avoid is rapid, forced con-
version of assets into cash-a step GER
tain, if conducted in technical or
illibcral spirit. to bring down prices
with run, glut the market, sacrifice prop
erty, and slSillfully arrange the conditions for
crash. The Superintendent promises, If
need be, to go to the Legislature for what
ever legislative aid may yet prove necessary.
We now look to the National Insurance
Convention, assembling on Wednesday, for
such action in the same spirit as may COM
plcte the restoration of confidence.

All this il true and timely. The Tweed
Charter of 1870 has enabled our City's mis-
rulers to plumber her of Millions that would
else have been saved. Aud it is absurd to
pretend that the party which perpetrated these
great wrongs will correct them. Should our
next Legislature be Democratic, Tweed will
be there to rule it, and no real reform will be
effected.
But how can wo forget that Tweed carried
his Charter, barely eighteen months ago, by
the aid of Republican influence and Republic

The World We'd with THE TRIBUNE in expos
ing the iniquites of that Charter and Samuel
J. Tildcn appeared, along with the Editor OF

show cause why it should not be enacted, The
Times insisted that that Charter embodied the
needed Reforms, and urged Republican Sena-
tors to vote for it-as most of them unfOr-
tunately did That vote temporarily crushed
out the anti-Ring Democracy of our City and
made Tweed omnipotent here; and The Times
did it's utmost to secure this result. And

Authentic accounts of the loss of property
by the Wisconsin and Michigan fires are begin
ming to come in, though there is yet much
uncertainty as to the amount of loss of life.
The details are truly heartrending; many
hundreds of people were burned to death or
driven into the water and drowned, and the
estimated destruction of property amounts to
millions already. Thousands of people are
homeless and destitute of provisions; doubt
less, at this moment, many persons in the
remote regions of Wisconsin and Michigan are
actually starving. Others will starve unless soon
relieved. 1t is distressing to think that almost
nothing has been done to relieve these peo-
pic. We are in the way of giving now; cannot
something be given by rich New-York for the
poor people who have been driven into the
Charred and smoking wildernessf

New-York experienced brisk gale on Sun
day morning last, but it extended as far west
as Chicago, northward to Montreal, and east
ward to Halifax. At all of these points the
gale was severe, but in the Canadian ports
it was very destructive, damaging much prop
erty and killing many people At Halifax, the
shore is reported strewn with wrecks; Montreal,
a solid and substantial city, was rocked to its
foundations, and further westward, on the
great lakes the gale was severely felt. We
shall doubtless hear of many shipwrecks along
the North Atlantic Coast, and many disasters
by sea must be added to the long list of losses
of this disastrous year, the very climax OF
whose woes seems now upon us.

and Sagasta is complete. and the friends Of
the latter are working with those of SerranO
in perfect accord. AS an index of the pur-
poses of this organization, we have manifesto
from Sagasta's party which is an echo of the
policy of Serrano and is as intensely conser-
vative as the most pronounced Liberal
"Union" could wish. The Internationals are
denounced and the revolt in Cuba is to be
suppressed at any cost. The lines are drawing
closer, and the other great party-Republcan
lis compacted from all the elements which
properly belong to this party of advanced
and radical political ideas. The resolutions
adopted at the great meeting in Madrid on
Sunday last are not violent, but they show that
the Republicans are in earnest in their de-
termination to stand and work together for
Republicansm in Spain, not as Carbonari or
Rcvoutionists, but by adopting peaceful and
legal measures to change the constitution of
the country Events are shaping themselves
in Spain to the establishment of but two great
parties-Republican and Monarchists; and
there will be no middle ground between these.
