The New YORK DEMOCRATIC STATE Con-
vENTIoN yesterday gave hearing to the Re-
form delegation who were dissatisfied with the
action of the day previous which was set on
foot by Tammany. The anti-Tammany men
in New York city are disguised at the action
of the convention refusing them recognition
1t is probable that a bolt will be elected by the
party in the city, and in conjunction with the
anti-Tammany organization ticket be put on
the question of municipal reform. The plat
form seems to be acceptable to the Reformers.
Much depends on yesterdays action, which
the telegraph reports elsewhere. The New
York Times says the convention has sung the
death knell of the Democratic party in this
State. The promise of the leaders amounted
to nothing. Genuine Indignation OF the mas
SEES against the corruptonists has been trif1ed
with. The party, which a week ago seemed
determined to purge itself of the bad men who
have hopelessly polluted and disgraced it, is
made to appear a mass of hypocrites. The
World thinks the convention did its work WE'LL
and says that the rival delegation was sent to
Rochester only as means of excluding the
rammany delegates. 1t was settled deter
mination of the Democracy Of the State that
TammaDy should be shut out even at the risk
Of disrupting and defeating the party, but the
reason tor its presence ceased when Tammany
relinquished its claim.

FRIDAY, OCTOBER 6, 1871.


AT the late International Congress, held in
London, the delegates OF this much-dreaded,
and, as we believe, much slandered organiza-
ton, denied that it was their purpose TO pro-
coed by violence. Education and anS~uc-
ton are their main reliance. 1t IS true that
some of their members were mixed up with
the Paris Commune, but they acted on their
Cwn responsibility, without reference to the
principles of the society to which they be-

how their moral sense is shocked at
notion of a combination OF their

their yoke! And we, on this side
of the Atlantic, who ought to know better,
join in the clamor. They talk of the uiolent
proceedings of the Internaticnals and their
dangerous purposes! Good heavens! these
Pecksniffian monarchs and mobiles have for
ages employed themselves in robbing, plum
dering, manning, depriving of education and
liberty the workingmen of Europe. They
have covered the whole land with the bleach
ing bones of peasant boys and laborers,
slaughtered to crafty personal ambition or
caprice. The very existence of such obso
lete monsters as kings, czars, queens, emper-
ors and their satellites, constitutes a state of
war every moment it continues. They sub.
sst on the flesh and blood of the millions.
Yet they declare, and we repeat the lie after
them, that an effort to abrogate in some small
degree this hideous inequality of conditions
is dangerous movement. The periurers
and murderers that sit on thrones regard it
as species of impety for their fellow men
even to desire emancipation.

JOAQUIN MnLER.-It is dreadful thing to
believe that man of genius, like the new poet,
admires Dr. Holland. But here is what a New
York correspondent says of him:
The principal event in the literary world is
the presence in town of Joaquin Miller, the
California poet, who has been at the Lotus
Club and other places of resort, and has met
with a warm reception everywh He has
had his picture taken at Brady's gallery, and
looks well in it, excepting for his boots, which
he insists on wearing outside his pantaloons as
he did in England, though they are very shah
by indeed. He has light oair, a clear, restless
blue eye, and full beard. He talks freely with
those who attract him, but is eccentric and
queer a, times, saying nothing but monosylla-
bles, while his manners are perfectly simple
and natural. with a western freshness and ease.
He is very modest, yet aspiring, depreciatipg
what he has already done, and having high
ideal in the future. He intends to eschew
slang, and will strive to produce something
that will far surpass all his previous writings.
South America has great charms in his eyes,
and he wants to go there coon for a pleasure
trip. He has been engaged by "Scribner's
Monthly" to write exclusively for that periedi-
cal, and he will have poem in the November
number, which will describe the journey across
the continent in the most striking manner. He
is great admirer OF DR.. Hollands poems, aud
says that he has read more eff the latter's pc.
ems than those of any other man.

organization which has for its purpose the
annexation of Mexico. Senator Logan and
General Rosecrans are also named among the
leaders in the scheme. The organization is
said to be made up largely of ex Confederate
and ORION soldiers. 1t is comforting to
know that pacific means are, IN the first in

RAPID PROGRESS OF THE NORTH PACIFIC
RAILRoAD.-Fifteen months ago workmep
with axe and spade began to clear away the
forests and throw up entertainments along the
line of the Northern Pacific Railroad, in the
swamp west OF Duluth. That the work has
been pushed with great energy will be seen
from the fact that the grading is completed to
the Red River, and that the track. layers are
laying three miles of rails per day. The cars
will be running across the State of Minnesota
by the middle of November. This is a good
showing for the enterprise, when it is consid-
cred that the section between Duluth and the
M Mississippi is probably the worst division to
build between Lake Superior and Puget
Sound. The directors, we understand, do not
