alluded 10 as the result OF a lookup, and
in the same breath as occasoned by an
actual need OF money. owing to the

members IN the same business have agents

beyond this little trading is done on what
might be called the twin corners" of
Carondeet and Common streets. The class
OF men who deal as above are regarded by
the big dogs" as 'snappers up of uncon

larger than their dignited colleagues" City
certificates seldom get as far as the corners,
for the reason that they are stopped on the
way and the first holders are interviewed

This threat was made to- Senator Butler.
with view Of inducing him to vote
against Senator Pinchback, the regular
nominee Of the Republican party for
Lieutenant Governor of this State. And
when the organ of the Customhouse
clique announced the appointment of
General Emory as the commandant
OF the Military Department of the
Cult, it deliberately threw out the threat
that the military was to be made superior
to civil authority in our State: Can it be
possible that President Grant will longer

hear Marshal Packard make his threats to
Senator Butler in the name of President

REFORM MOCkERIES.
Ii Is refreshing to observe with what com
llacency some people can dispose OF con
science. memory and discretion when once
they arrive at that comfortable conclusion
that the ends Justify the means. There is
no doubt now that the design and intention
OF the 'Gatlin gun crowd has been. from
first to last. to obtain control of the Repub
Ican party OF this State or ruin it III their
dia bolical efforts.
Fooled in this nefarious design. we find
them now engaged in the laudable under
taking OF malIgn!ng and abusing the men
they could not ca ole or scare into cOmbjna-
tlon with them. We have a notable ease in
point. The Notionoi Repujlican of which
