Decoy Bliss, jr. b. X. Phelps, Collector

The increase of the horse disease in this city
threatens seriously to affect the traffic OF the
metropolis and its suburban cities. Several
stage and two or three car lines, yesterday,
ceased running altogether; the express and
delivery companies were unable to DO
their usual work coaches were scarce and
hired at prices several times higher than the
usual licensed rates and in consequence OF
inability to move the immense Accommodations
of freight on the docks the foreign steamers
are likely to be detained. The threatened con-
sequences to the city of the temporary loss of
its motive power are really becoming not
merely vexatious but serious, and may yet cause
great suffering.

each other One Of the conbatants is Gen. Reuben
Williams of The Wdrsaw IHdGnidn, the other is Cod.

Letters from Massachusetts and Connecti-
cut published on the third page of The
TRIBUNE, to-day, give fair idea of the con-
dition of the political campaign in New-En-
gland generally. In the first-named of these
two States, Liberals are satisfied with the
good prospect which they have of reduc-
ing the Grant majOrites in the Congress
Districts. In Connecticut, however, there is
steady assurance that the State will go for
Greeley. In his speech at New-Baven, lately,
Mr.. 1. H. Bromley, the Liberal Republican
Chairman, spoke enthusiastically and intelli-
gently of Liberal prospects in the State. Mas
saChusetts Republicans, it seems, are already
reckoning on Mr.. Henry Wilson's elevation to
the Vice-P Presidency and considering who will
take his place in the Senate. Suppose lie De

"Tho danger of being too sure" has now,
for these three days past, weighed heavy on
the late Joyous heart of TIE NeD- York
Times. 1t has discovered that rigadoons
over the convict triumph in Pennsylvania
will not reGlect President Grant; and
the imminent peril of Mr.. Greeley's
triumph moves it to an alarm its imploring
appeals do not conceal. The sensible Grant
people made the same discovery some time
ago. They are perfectly aware that the South
eIn vote, New-York, New-JerSey, Connecticut,
and Indiana solid for Mr.. Greeley mean pros
pect fan farer than anything they can find on
the Two-Term side.

A letter from Paris, published on the

some prominence to a discussion of NJ. Gam
betta's position and the violent speeches he
has lately made. The fiery advocate does not
seem to have declared war on "the King in

NJ Thiers does not think so, at least, may be
inferred from his letting Gambetta severely

The notable course of lectures delivered by
Mr.. James Anthony Froude, in this city, was
brought to brilliant close last night. The
lectures have opened almost a new era in
platform history in this country, and have
been markedly successful. Though there has
been q wide difference of opinion as to
the accuracy of Mr.. Froude's bold de-
auctions, all agree that his success is
due to the rare skill which he has shown in
placing his theme before his audience, rather
than to any mere grace of delivery, or even to
the attractions Of his topic. The interest has
been admirably sustained throughout, and the
course, as striking and harmonious whole,
will be long remembered as an intellectual
rarity-gathering series of audiences as in
tellectual and appreciative as NewYOrk has
ever collected

A correspondent, who is thoroughly familiar
with the subject, gives us an exhaustive re-
view of the canvass in Michigan. Under the
powerful leadership of ex-GOv. Blair the Lib
eral campaign in that old stronghold of Re-
publicanism is pushed with aggressive vigor !;
and although small hopes can be entertained
of overcoming the 80 900 adverse majority, the
Liberals have excellent prospects of electing
four or five out of the nine Congressman, and
they believe they can cut down Grants ma
iority to a figure below $4,000.

A Brave and Noble Georgian.

At the time of. the inception 1.-The
scheme of Congressional reconstruction,
when the other Southern. .GoFernersw were
dispossessed by the military, it will be
remembered that Cow, Charles'J. Jen-
kins; of Georgia, stood stoutly on the de-
fensive; instituted suit inthe Supreme
Court of the United States; transferred
/ the recordsof his office and the great'seal
of the State to place of security until.
the ofice'from which he was forced should
see rightful incumbent; removed all
the available funds of. the State from the.
carpet. bag conventions; !; and only yield
ed his office. in the direct presence of
force with which he found it impossible
to cope, accompanying his withdrawal
with protest against the proceeding as
ga fragrant nsurpation, violative OF the
Constitution of the United States"
During the Radical interreghum, Gov.
Jenkins has kept the papers and seal in,
their hiding place, and only lately deliv-'
cred them mp to thepresent Democratic
Executive of the State-Gor. Smith. In
his letter to Gov. Smith, a very noble
and striking one; Gov. Jenkins seys:
"The books and papers herewith
transmit to your Excellency, that they,
NAV resume their place 'aInong the ar
chives of tho State. With them ALSO

increases our belief in Mr.. Tillman's
judgment and sagacity. Asgregards Pas

race for office in South Carolina, they
might as wen nottryit. Good sense and
decent pride, if NOT Passivism, should
lead them not to make any effort in;this
direction. A Democrat might secure
SOME petty Office hero and there, but n9
Democrat will at present get any place
worth having in South Carolina.
Concerning the dead matter of Reform
ism, cur friend is needlessly and inteln-
perately bitter. of course his object is
to warn the people from making another
fatal mistake in the coming election, but,
even at this, there is no necessity for him
to degenerate into such splenetic harsh
ness: Mr:Tillm1an well knows his great
influence;with the masses in Edgefield,
and much of what he writes about Re-
formism to-day ought TO have been writ
ten and published'in 1870, but it was not.
1t was understood, at the time, that Mr.:
Tillman was. decidedly opposed to the
Reform movement, but we do not re-
member. that he spoke, publicly to the
the people. /,
Nor should our friend be so unreservsd
in accusing the whole press of South
Carolina of imbecility and venality. OF
imbecility it you will-but whe1it comes
to venality, that is going too'far.
