HAvERsrRAw, N. V, August IS
The citizens of this place have captured
Dennis Convoy and George Williams
two fugitive Sing Sing conycts. Scout
ing parties and vigilance committees
are being organized in Englewood and
here and the country is being secured.
The scenes of the operations is in New
Jersey and along the Palisades. The
officials think that some OF the fugitives
made their way to New York and that
they will be recaptured tonight. Capt
Todd, of the New York Harbor Police,
went to Sing Sing yesterday afternoon
and passed here at midnight last night
without accomplishing anything. All
the effective service in making recap
lures has thus far been made by the
authorities. Jacob Meiler, another Of
the escaped convicts, was captured this
morning in the woods a short distance
from Nyack. He was securely hand
cuffed and placed on board a steam
boat and landed at Hastings, from
whence he was conveyed to the prison.
1t is reported that another had been
captured near Rockland Lake Landing
and brought back to prison.

company agreeing to use part of the
structure for passenger depot purposes,
for which it stipulated rent should
be paid, and further agreed to stop all
passenger trains passing over its road

to comply with the latter part of the
agreement, whereupon the building

amount.

JERSEY CRY, N. j., August lS.-It

which the building inside had been sat,
urated by the proprietors. The fact
that they had received three barrels Of
kerosene oil the day before goes far
toward supporting this theory. At the
coroners inquest, which will be held
to-day, an attempt will be made to un-
ravel the mystery.

On the 18th of May Judge Fitzhugh gave
notice that he would hear the motion for an

appeared at 10 o'clock, and the court, upon
consideration of the bill of complaint and ex-

HoPE!-We are permitted, even at this
hour of the day, to take calm survey of the
election field, from which we are disposed to
believe there is no doubt of the election of
sufficient number of Republicans to give us
control of the City Council.
Great dissatisfaction exists in the ranks of
the enemy and scratching" has become un-
usually popular. 1t is right too, that it should
be so. 1t is best for the interests of every
citizen that only faithful, honest and capable
men of either party should be elected to posi-
tions where good or evil may result to the
general community.
Reports reach US that efforts are already In
progress to defeat us of the results of the
election. We trust they are incorrect, and
that which ever party fairly wins the contest
may be permitted to enjoy its fruits. We feel
such confidence in the success of our efforts to
purity the government of the city, as to ex-
press the opinion that our party will win, uno
less frauds are committed upon US.

bor might have exhibited little more

Dor might have exhibited little more
modesty.
The people, like ourselves, prefer gno-
rant honesty to educated vilainy, and will
prove our assertion by Scratching" some Of
the beef thieves and bond sellers.
If there is any quality in newspaper
we do admire, it is sincerity. Look at the
dignifed Wing this morning, all you who
have not seen it, aud you will agree with
us that it is perfectly disgusted with the
management of city affairs, and Indifferent
to the results of the day. No, we won't
say this, because we believe the Wing real
ly wants an honest Council, and would
prefer that our ticket should be elected.
1t gravely tells us "if we carry the
Council we will have the control of the
whole city government we add, by means
of which you will succeed in stealing "the
balance on hand" 1t is principally devot-
ed to the "sound doctrines" of Carl Schurz,
who is supposed to be Republican.
Democracy had better be on the look
out, else it will lose very able champion
in the Whig. 1t has been very sweet
lately on Republicans and their newspa-
pers, evidence to our minds that it is pre-
pairing its readers to witness its grand
double somersault, turning twice in the
air before alighting.
We predict that in the next Presidential
fight it will be for Grant and who ever
may be selected with him for Vice Presi-
dent.
We extend to our neighbor the hand Of
friendship, but would advise it to be in a
hurry and get over first, or the Dispatch
will claim the first honor. What will then
become of the "Rooster" of the Enquirer ?

BETWEEN Radicals and Carists, King
Amadeus seems likely to have somewhat
troubled reign. At a meeting of the Cor
tes, Tuesday, the Radicals offered resolu-
ton 10 favor Of a republic, and the Carlists
submitted another declaring Don Carlos
rightful King of Spain. In Gen. Prim the
young monarch lost not only his most
powerful friend, but his most judicious adj
wiser. Unacquainted with the temper of
the people, and destitute of ardent support
ers, the position of Amadeus I. is far from
being an enviable one. Two powerful
parties are opposed to the government.
By keeping them isolated Amadeus can
save his crown, but a single false move
may unite them for the common task of
his overthrow, each hoping under a new
order of things to gain the ascendant A
throne can hardly be said to be secure
when its occupant is compelled to promote
dissensions among his people in order to re-
tain it.
