An Honorable Execution.

The Philadelphia Press closes an elo-
quent tribute to the memory of Horace
Greeley in these words:

untimely and unexpected calamity; but
we are consolrd in one respect at least
that in the struggle which has cost the
nation its greatest and pures: journalist.

Loyal Claimants.

The New York Tribune says host
of loyal Southern claimants will be in
Washington this winter begging Con.
gress to pay them for property destroy
ed by the Union army during the war.
The House was last spring disposed to
consider these claims with some favor,
and bill ordering the payment Of one
of the claimants was passed by the Sen
ate as well as by the House, but was
vetoed by the President. AS the next
Congress will probably be moro un-
favorable to such claims as this, we may
expect the doors of the Capitol to be
besicgcd by these people from the day
Congress meets until it adiOurns.

AROUND THE CITY HALL.

The Aldermanfc Vote-DOubts as to the
Correctness OF the Rcturns-The Fire

The announcement In the morning papers Of
the names Of the new Aldermanic Board was
quite surprise to the frequenters Of the
Hail. inasmuch as 1t reversed the poll
tical prep0nderance and showed the dc.
feat Of democrats, who were believed on
the previous day to be certainly elected. The fact
however, still remains as stated in the HERALD
yesterday. There will be nothing certainly known
as to the composition OF either Board of Aldermen
until after the official canvass by the Board OF Su.
pervisors, which will commence on Tuesday next
and continue ten days. The reason OF the dificulty
In the count Is found to be two-fod. In the first
place, the last Legislature by their new election
law made 1t imperative for the returns to be taken
in Assembly districts, whereas previously 1t had
been taken according to wards, and the
acquainted with the ward that there was no difi-
Guilty about getting at an estimate. The other and
the greater difficulty is that there has been, in
amount OF 'scratching'' that the counting is
puzzling and tedious to those who are engaged
In 1T, and it is found far easier to
doubt that Mr. Peter Gilsey heads the poll but 1t
pretty well known that he will not accept the Pres
idency Of the Board. Mr.. Gsey Is Of an
opinion that he does not possess the needfnl

HORRIBLE ACCIDENT.

TERRE HAUTE, Ind, Nov. 0, 1872.
Last night Avery Plummer and wife, OF Ellis
burg, Jefferson county, N. Y, were passengers on
the westward bound night express train over the
vandalia line, and should have left the train
at this point and taken the morning train
for Evansville, whittier they were bound; I;
but they failed to obey the instructions of the con-
ductor and he found them on the train after it had
started west from here. He then arranged for them
to stop at Marshall the first stopping place. and to
return on the ext train this way.
Before reaching Marshall, he missed the aged
couple, and search throughout the cars failed to
find them. Men were sent out, who hunted for
them all night and at daylight found their bodies
under Clear Creek trestle. They mad mistaken the
slowing Of the train, customary at that point for
the stopping place, and had stepped of, falling on

SALT LAKE CITY, Nov. 0, 1872.
The great trespass suit OF the Emma Mining
Company against the Illinois Tunnel Company
was decided to-day by a jury in favor OF the
plaintiff, who obtained nominal damages in the sum
OF $1,000. This decision practically settles the
whole question OF the title, although 1t has been
understood for some days past that the Emma
Company have bought out the tunnel interest. The
issue of the trial involved $1.000.000.
There will be a mass meeting here next Tuesday
night In celebration Of the reelection OF Grant
The rumors set afoat in the Eastern States
to the effect that trouble between the Mormons and
Gentiles, with blo0dshed, was apprehended and
that it would come In the next two or three

at the present time.

JOURNALISTIC COURTESIES OF AN IMPORT
ED NEWSPAPER EDITOR.
From our English Contemporary.

When Tammany was ut the height OF its power
the NEW YORK HERALD was the most servile OF Its
toadies and the most bombastc among its natter-
ers. Even its rat-like instinct of deserting
doomed ship was not sufficient to save it from the
folly OF defending the Ring after their crimes were
clearly brought home to them and OF suppressing
the crushing proofs Of their guilt. The general
public may have underrated the stupidity Of the
HERALD; nobody ever found it possible to under
estimate its impudence. 1t, therefore, excited no
surprise when after the doom Of the Ring had long
been sealed, its quondam ally suddenly discovered
that it had all along opposed Tammany, and had,
in fact been the chief instrument in enecting the
triumph of reform.
This year the HERALD has been as usual, work
ing on behalf Of the cause of corruption and mis-
government, and only discovers, after all Its friends
have been badly beaten, that 1t was really, though
nobody suspected 1t. working on the other side.
1t has been the personal organ OF Mayor
Hall; its advocacy was considered by Judge
Bedford as a certain guarantee OF election;
1t tried to foist nobody like ]. Grenvile Kane
upon the people as Mayor; then 1t tried to help
Tammany to scale into power the shoulders OF
wealth and responsibility, as embodied in Mr.. Dun
can and finally it placed all its marvellous knowl.
edge Of local affairs and It's wonderful "in-
nuence, at the service OF Brennan's candidate,
establish the despotism of the most corrupt poti-
cal organization known to our history 1t lavished
its characteristic abuse upon those who were hon
estly striving to rescue the city from the clutches
OF trading politicians. On Monday last Its editorial
columns contained the following choice specimens
OF political wlsdom:-
This year the Committee of Seventy impudently as
suming TO speak the ndependcn the city

gains and ntrgues for the Advancement of their

This, OF course, places beyond doubt the cor
rectness OF the statement made in the HERALD
OF yesterday, "As to the candidates them
selves, we had no choice between themn
and ought to secure all the attention due
to superior sagacty for Its talk about
the republican division Of city spoils and the ad
vent of what 1t calls ''new Republican Municipal
Ring" or one thing the HERALD may be perfectly
assured. Among those Of its Tammany friends who
are able to read there remain none stupid enough
to be taken in by its ludicrous assumption of
political penetration and its exploded claims to po-
litical influence. Among all other classes its title
to rank as equally muddle-hcaded and unprincipled
equally ill-informed and impudent, has long since
been generally conceded.

A Performing Arab Suspected OF Rum
ming Away with n Large Sum.
Two OF the troupe OF Arabians performing at
Bayley's Circus and Menagerie at the foot OF East
Houston street applied to Inspector walling at
Police Headquarters last night to know If anything
had been heard OF Ben Abddallah. 1t appears
that this dusky gentleman Is chief of
the troupe. After the matinee performance
at the circus about four O'Clock, 1t is alleged that
Ben went to the box office and received about
500, the salaries OF the whole troupe. From that
moment ne has not been seen. He also had In his
pocket the contract OF the entire troupe for six
years-to them very valuable document. The
two who called on Inspector Walling said that
they feared that Ben Abdaah had fed the
city with the money, and that he might
very possibly have taken passage for Europe. This
theory is not probable, however, as he was seen
slightly intoxicated late In the afternoon, and the
probability Is he has been locked up in some station
house.

THE PROGRAMME OF THE REFORMERS.

Brother Falconer, OF the Scctarian
Circular Lets the Secret Out-The
Local Officers to be Elected In April
Hereafter-The Legislature to be APP
pcaled TO.
The Council OF Political Reform is supposed to be
a tooter to the Committee OF Seventy, or in other
words the Committee OF Seventy are the pol itical
brains, and the Council OF Political Reform are the
hands chat work out tti. plans Of campaign
There are councils in all the wards OF the c.. r.
whose meetings are usually very secret, none
being permitted to participate except those who
are believed to be in full accord with the objects OF
the organization.
Last evening one OF these councils-that OF the
Eighteenth ward-met in Oriental Hall, in
Eighteenth street, near Third avenue With the
aid Of q policeman the HERALD reporter found the
entrance TO what is known as Oriental Hall, and
after cropping his way through dark hall
ways and up rickety stairs, suggestive
Of garroters he found large room In which were
man elect, and about ten other gentlemen. At
eight o'clock Mr.. William Ii. Nelson took
coner, who congratulated the meeting upon
the rescue OF the city from the democracy.
He declared that hereafter the reiormers were de-
termned to control the elections, and hence there
was great necessity for immediate reorganization in
all the different districts of the city. II Tammany
Hall and Apollo Hall again came together they
would again get control. The split in the de-
mocracy alone defeated them; but there was
danger Of their reuniting. In the last Board OF
Aldermen they had reunited and formed ring OF
their own. And when he found that over forty
thousand people had just voted for an In
dicted Assistant Alderman, we could not be
too vigilant. Mr.. FalcOner declared that 1t
was the programme OF the reformers to
from those OF the State and nation, and to hold IL
In April OF each year. the better to control the CITY,
The first election under this new plan would be a
year from next April He was followed by Mr..
Scudder, who urged an immediate reorganization
and enrolment OF all reformers, and declared
mitted some grave errors, which they must
avoid In the future. Among the singular state
ments made by Mr.. Falconer was the assertion, on
the authority OF a Mr.. Beers, tnat owing to the
party treason of some or the Seventy the tickets
ofJames O'Brien and other Objectionable characters
were run out OF their boxes. The Council resolved
to at once proceed with new enrolment by ap-
pointing one man for that purpose in each election
district.

VIRGINIA.

RICHMOND, Nov. o. 1872.
In ninety counties and cities heard from (most OF
them oflclally) Grant has overcome the Walker
majority Of 1862 and he now leads Greeley 10, 025
votes. The remaining eleven counties gave
Walker 404 majority. 1t is now almost certain
that Grant will carry the State by about
three thousand Official returns received to-day
from some OF the counties In the Fifth district
materially change the aspect OF the result in refer
ence to the election Of Thomas, republican, for
Congress In that district and 1t is almost certainly
will be elected by two or three hundred majority.
Further returns from the First district insure the
election OF Sener, republican, for Congress, over
Braxton by small majority. The Congressional
delegation WILL therefore, stand five democrats and
four republicans
