Asmight be expected, the small politicians
of the republican party, and those "minor
journals" of the party OF which Greeley
speaks, greedily seize upon the opportunity
to charge all these frauds upon the demo-
cratic party, because Tweed, Hall, Sweeney
and Connolly were elected by the democratic
party of New York city to the trusts which
they have so crimlnally abused; and should
the democratic party attempt to shield or de-
tend them, then indeed might 1t justly be
charged with the odium which must attach to
them. But this it has not done and will not
dc. The state convention of New York must
and will denOunce these frauds as heartily
and sincerely as it would had they been com.
mitted exclusively by republicans, as is the
case with the carpet-bag governments in the
southern states, which have been instituted by
the republican party and are now upheld and
maintained by the bayonet, while, like vul-
lures, they are preying upon their PROSTATE
victims. thus bound hand and foot. The
democratic party will leave it to its Political
opponents to sanction. even by silence, fraud
and corruption in public officers.
These corrupt men have been opposed and
denounced from the beginning by the young
democracy as they are called, or the anti
Tammany democracy of New York, headed
by such men as Samuel ]. Tilden and Others,
who abhor corruption and corruptionlsts with
that detestation which characterized the old
school politicians of the earlier days Of the
republic. Hitherto the cEruptionists of Tam
many, by the use of money and fraud, have
prevented them from thrusting this wicked
influence out of the party and out Of power,
because they have hitherto been unable to
convince the masses of their damning
practices but now these have been so clearly
proved that they have become recognized of
all men, and are not even denied by the
criminals them.

SQUEAL1NG PIGs.-Gen. Butler, during his

say that his first reason was, because have

doubtless, that the officers in Massachusetts,,

On Tuesday Of last week, at 3 o'clock T. NJ,
the remains of President Lincoln were re-.
moved from the temporary vault ut Spring,
field in which they were placed at the end Of
his somewhat protracted funeral march to
the grave and deposited in the crypt in the
vau, under the Lincoln monument, in the
presence OF "A very large concourse of people.
On opening the wooden coffin, in which the
body WAS first enclosed,it was discovered that
the cmbulming process had not been quite
successful. The features were easily recog.
nized, but the skin was badly discolored.

now placed, is the body Of TAD" Mr. Lin.

New York and Massachusetts
Radicalism.

The bitter fight waged by Gen. Butler in
Massachusetts, for month or two past against
every body that opposed the nomination of
the Dutch Gap hero as the radical candidate
for Governor of that state, ended in the state
convention at Worcester on Wednesday in
the defeat of Butler by vote os GAS for VIM.
B. Washburn to AGA for Butler Butler, in
spite of his frequent declarations to the con.
trary during the canvass, declared his pur-
pose, on the announcement OF the VOTE to
abide by the decision although it is limited
that he may possibly be brought out as the
workingmens candidate.
In New York the radical Convention was
split up between the Conkling and Fenton
misunderstanding being for Grant, and
Fenton for Greeley or anybody else. The
Office holders came out ahead, the vote stand

city and St. Lawrence delegations withdrew

The Convention and Nominations.


The La Sale county democratic convention
which met in this city on Tuesday was attend
ca by full delegations from all but two or
three towns, and its proceedings were unusu-
ally harmonious. 1t is true, the strife for
Che nomination for county Treasurer was quite
earnest and animated, as was natural in view
of the con, eied fact that a nomination would
Oe equivalent to an election; but as no unfair
ness or taking of undue advantage can be I'M
putei to any Of the contestants, and the nom'
,ination was fairly and squarely made, the uni
yersal determination among democrats is to
give the nominee an honest and earnest sup
port.
This is eminently due to SAMUEL W. RAY.
MoNp, the nominee. He has been u citizen OF
this county almost from his boyhOod, and has
never cast any but democratic vote. He is
admirably fitted for the Office. As u clerk, ac,
esuntant and book keeper he has no superior
in the county, while no man has ever ques-
Stoned his personal honesty or integrity. We
want Just such man for county treasurer.
The financial matters of this county are large
and complicated. In the hands Of an lncom.
petent or inexperienced treasurer, though per
sonally honest, they might be brought into in
extricable confusion and great public loss be
the consequence In this respect Mr.. Raymond
is the opposite of his opponent, for it is noto-
rious that, unassailable as Mr.. Lyman Cad
we'll may be on the score of personal honesty,
he is wholly inexperienced and incompetent as
An accountant and book-keeper. Even his
friends admit that he would be compelled to

The only objection we have heard urged
agains. Mr. Raymond Is that he has held Office
SO long heretofore in this county that he ought

light of tavOrs to DO granted, without refer

briefly, that although Mr. Raymond might

Ills MEANS it is well known that he lost the
earnings of years in y single unfortunate In
rxestment in q public enterprise in this city
which, although it has proved OF considerable
benefit and Importance in promoting the
growth Of our city, was disastrous to all who

December 13. Gays:
"After careful thought upon the sub.
Ject OF the bond question and the CITY
Hall and market improvements now
being carried on by the City Council,
and which was freely discussed by your
self and others in the Board OF Trade,
last evening, I am clearly of the opinion
that the whole thing is wrong; and the
sooner a stop is put to it. the better.
The financial affairs of the city and State
are not in condition at this time that
would warrant the issue OF bonds to
carry on any improvements. The peo-
pie are now burdened with heavy taxea,
and to increase the taxes at this time for
these improvements, would certainly
be very injudicious and unwise. If the
city required these improvements, it
would be unjust. at this time, to create
bonds for the purpose. The financial
affairs Of the country at this time are
such, that we would have to seek mar
ket out of the State to sell the bonds
and, with the present blemish given to
the credit Of the State by the party in
power, 1 doubt if the oity bonds could
be sold ut over forty cents on tho dollar;
and yon can see at once that it would be
to the interest of taxpayers to have a
stop put to all these improvements, and
let them stand until things take change
for the better. have no idea that the
bonds Of the oity, With the present ad-
ministration controlling the affairs of the
