Physicians throughout the world agree as to the

but complain, and with good reason of the imposs-

farmer from this State, whose daughter had
run away from home in consequence of sedue-

heard on Wednesday night two weeks ago at a

of the house thought the girl whom they were
in search of might possibly be there. He went
to the door with Mr. Woods, and was CURLY in

He intimated his intention of satisfying him

CRIME IN New YoRK.-Last week was one
more than usually prolific of capital crimes in
the city of New York. Eight dead bodies were
found floating in the docks, an unknown wo-
mau was found dead in the street, and several
persons mysteriously disappeared In nearly
every instance the bodies found have marks of
bludgeon, knife or pistol. Besides these unsup-
ported cases, there were two cases of murder in
which the ante mortem testimony of the vic
tins has left no chance for doubt as to their
character. Add to the total as above the num-
erous murderous assaults some of which may
end fatally, and record of crime and violence
is presented such as hardly any other city in
Christendom can parallel s, ....s.

6oV. HOFFMAN AND THE TAMMANY FRAUDS
"A committee of the seventy declare that they
have discovered sufficient proof of Gov. Hoff-
mans connection with the conspiracy by which
the Tweed gang robbed the city of so MANY
millions, which has already been intimated in
other dispatches. The warrants in the con.
troller's department show that more than $500 :
600 were paid out of the city treasury in 1868
when Hoffman was mayor, for expenses attend
ant upon the erection of the county court house
The old familiar names are, of course, set.
down against the largest amounts in the list.
For instance, during 1868 the following bills
were paid James Watson, pay-rolls, 1858, 500. O6;
KeySe1 y Company. plumbing, $46S 1881 .S3; Ing
ersoll q Company, furniture, $174 ,013, 80; A. j.
Garvey, plasterng, $50, 1850; J. Mob. David
son, safes, $57 sos. These sums were not paid
on single warrants, but are the gross amounts
of the different sums paid from time to time
They are signed by Alderman Thomas Conan,
who was acting in Mayor Hoffman's
ABSENCE and who was ever ready to take the
ea chair. 1t is alleged by prominent re-
former mat it is only the warrants for large

A NEW YORK despatch to the Boston Post
says: wool
= The feeling here now is generally much less
Greeleyish than it was a week OF two ago.
There is more of disposition to talk of a
straight Democratic nomi nation at Baltimore,
with ticket like Hancock and Kerr, than at
any time since the Cincinnati Convention. This
afternoon leading member of the Executive
Liberal Republican Committee stated at the
Astor House that Mr.. Greeley had informed
one of his friends that when elected he would
make Horatio Seymour Secretary of State; he
would also. support the Democratic candidate
for Governor (Hoffman) and would help the
Democrats in electing their Congressman; he
would withdraw if not nominated at Balti-
more, but would never return to the Grant
ranks, and would then be very likely to support
the Democratic nominee. - e.,

The SEAL FISHERY DIsAsTER.-The reports
concerning the fearful destruction of human
life among the seal hunters in the ice off Lab
rador and Observation-Disclosures the loss of
forty-four vessels and it is supposed upwards of
thre9e thousand lives-are of character to ex-
cite universal sympathy for the community
which has thus been so sorely bereaved. The
seal fishery is always attended with considera-
BILE danger, but the fleet this spring has met
with disasters, the magnitude of which is alto
gether unprecedented Private advices receiv-
ed in Boston would seem to indicate that the
published accounts are not exaggerated, but
are mainly correct. The seal fishery this spring
is great failure, the total catch probably being
less than one-third of that of last year

WASHINGTON Matters.

THE PHILADELPHIA CONVENTION
Several Southern and Western delegates have
arrived here and it is evident that there will
be quorum of the Convention present in
Washington by the close of the week. The
delegates agree that Greeley stock is on the de-
cline in their respective localities, and that no
Grant man of any position in political circles
who is not a disappointed applicant for office
has enlisted with the Dolly Vardens rf ....
GRANT AND WILSON ... ..
The probable action of the Philadelphia Con-
vention becomes every day more settled That
President Grant will be nominated no one
doubts. That Hon. Henry Wilson will be plac-
ed second on the ticket is nearly equally GER
tain, for after the first complimentary ballot is
over two-thirds of the delegates are counted up-
ON to cast their votes for the Massachusett,
Senator. Vice President Colfax is believed to
be quite satisfied with the showing, and all 9TH
er gentlemen mentioned in connection with the
Vice Presidency have decided not to press their
claims upon the party.
DECORATION DAY
The Secretary of War has. ordered a national
salute to be fired on Decoration Day by the
Ordnance Corps, and the flags of the Quarter
masters Department to be furnished for the
decoration of the cemetery at Arlington. Gen.
Banks is to deliver the Grafton there, and Col
