THE power of Tammany is yet strong in
New York. The Democracy and the Fenton
men in the Legislature have united, having
power enough to defeat any wholesome meas
ure. By their agency through the aid o
money, it is freely asserted that the trial OF
Judge Barnard will be a farce. The mana
gers already chosen are nearly all notable for
their TammanY tendencies

The Democratic Congressman of Indiana,
took occasion yesterday to inform the party
and party organs, that have been "sloshing
round loose' the past two weeks that Mr..
Greeley isn't or hasn't been the best kind OF
Democrat after all. The split in the old
fossil of party has begun and we may ex-
pect to see it vanish into thing of the past
time since its organization, it has no organ in
this city and hardly any in Maine that is not
ready to sell out.

THE Macon Telegraph one of Mr.. Greeley
Southern papers says: ''There is, after all,
apparently no more than one or two planks
in it to which any Southern Democrat will
seriously except. One of these is the declar-
alton against reopening the questions settled
by the Constitutional amendments" The
Telegraph does not consider the questions in
volved in the Constitutional amendments en-
tirely settled. If the Democracy should sue
coed through the Liberal movement the
whole case would be re-opened in the most
lively manner

IT is now very probable that the attempts
of the reformers of New York City to succor
the city government from the Tammany
plunderers, will fail through the hostility OF
Gov. Hoffman to any measure that will drive
his friends, Tweed, Sweeney, Connolly, Hall
and their minions from the control of the city.
Gov. Hoffman has already vetoed the new
charter and Mr.. Tilden's bill designed to res
cue the courts of the city from the infamy in
to which they have sunk. The Times init

= The demand for iron ships in Great Britain
accompanied by a revival of commerce. mas
led to some results worthy Of nouce.
iron has risen 81 to $40 ton ana ra'ls anu
sheet iron have advanced SIS to 20 per ton
The wages of the iron workers have risen ten
ner cent while their hours for work have
come down from ten to nine. These changes,
n i noticed, are equivalent to a rise of 20
ner cent. in the cost of labor. In consequence
of these important changes we learn from the
English reports that the cost ofconstructing an
improved propeller has risen within year
from $135 to $155 a ton, and is still rising.
The Clyde builders have been compelled to
open mines in Spain and Norway. These
facts go far to reduce the discrimination
against builders in the United States and il
Congress would remit the duties on ship
building materials and other taxes now i'm.
posed, the ship-builders would have an oppor.
tunity to carry on their business on a more
extended scale than ever.

THE City Government has not made de-
eision in the matter of the petition for a COM
mission to examine the routes and plans of
the Portland and Ogdensburg Railroad-the
Aldermen voting against and the Common
Council in favor of granting the prayer of
the petitioners. We append the petition
which was considered last night. The num-
Der and character of the petitioners demand
respectful attention from our City Fathers
and the great interests involved certainly
seem to justify the action desired.

Certain sanctimonious charlitans
would fain persuade the world that diff
iusive stimulants have no medicinal
value, and that detestable slops, composed
Of gripping acids and drastic purgatives,
are better tonics than the finest vegeta-
BILE ingredients combined with the pur-
est and mellowest products of the still.
But this sort of thing won't go down.
The stomach Of our common sense re-
jects it, as the physical stomach of every
man with an undepraved palate rejects,
with loathing and adherence, the nau-
seous denominations, " free from alco-
hol," which humbugs are trying to
thrust down the threats Of temperance
invalids under the pretense that the
filth will do them good. Il is not likely
that while the Plantation Bitters, the
standard tonic Of America, is anywhere
accessible, such sickening frauds can
make much Roadway, but it is as well
to put the public on their guard against
them. eod-dkw

A new movement was manifested by the
Charleston stock ring late yesterday and to-
day. which is no moro nor less than a huge
effort to again depress the price Of that stock

inquiries fail to discover sellers at below 4Oc.
The ring, having possession of some 5000 or

extent that the timid ones will sell out, but
those who can afford to do so will hold their
stock at the quotation mentioned. The in
terett on the gold issue Of city bonds. due

banks. 1t is estimated that about 5000
gold will be required to liquidate the interest
on those held hero, and the balance will be paid
in New York. In consequence Of the interest
