election districts In the city, and the lead
era Of the Reform Democracy have decided
on appointing twenty United States Deputy
Marshals for each district, and the ten SUI
pervisors allowed By law--that Is, they IL
tend employing thirty men In each districs, or
fifteen thousand men, to take care OF the
polling places In the interest OF the Admin
istration. Each ward will be searched for
the most suitable men, by the ward lead
ers: AMI they well know the work which Is
expected CT them. They viii be men who
did similar work in the old days of Tam
many. Thirty such men in each election
district in the city can ill any polling booth
in New York, and when the time comes
for the canvassing Of the votes, &c is hard to
see how the public can have q chance OF
looking after their interests. The Times
has said nothing disrespectf1l Of Boss
Tweed and Police Commissioner Hank
Smith, for many weeks. By nsing their
influence against Greeley In New York,
the Tammany thieves are promised legal
amnesty, while the small fry viii get
their customary greenbacks on election
day.

NEW YORK, Sept. 1.-THE San OF this
morning prints the following Important ed
itorial: IA meeting of certain prominent
Grant managers, Including, as we are In
formed, Henry Wilson, candidate for Vice
President, took place in this city Al the
Fifth Avenue HOTEL on Friday evening
last. Cakes Ames, member of Congress
for the second district of Massachusetts,
and bribery agent Of thB Credit Mobilier,
was present by special request. The pur-
pose OF this meeting was to obtain from
Ames broad, square and comprehensive
denial Of all the facts stated In his letter to
Col. II. G. McComb, presented and sworn
to among the testimony in the case now
pending In the Supreme Court of Pennsyl-
vania, and also Of the list of members Of
Congress bribed by Ames with Credit
Mobilier stock, which Col. NcComb
| copied on Feb. 28, 1868, in Ame's pre-.
sence, from list which Ames took out OF
his pocket and showed them. Such a
broad, square, comprehensive aud complete
| denial was prepared for Ames' signature,
| and it was intended to publish it in the
morning journals of Saturday last and to
telegraph it all over the Union. But when
it came to the point of signing and sending
out the enormous lie, Mr.. Ames did not
dare to do 1t. The evidence In the hands
Of Col. McComb, and the other EVIL
dence, part Of which is within our
knowledge, and part of which has never
been produced In any public manner, is 80
overwhelming that Ames felt it to be i'm
possible to sign and publish such 9 lie.
| He refused the demand made upon him b.
thoss whom be had bribed and by the man
ayers Of his party. The denial which was
to have been published, with Ames' sigma
| tnre, was thus Of necessity abandoned, and
| the only denials that are now to be made
are evasive and deceitful ones, like those Of
Speaker Blaine and Henry l.. Dawes.
These denials, as our readers have ample
means of convincing themselves, are moth
| ing but confessions of the villainy. No de-
NAL can now be worth anything that Is not
signed and sworn to by Oakes Ames and
! by the men whom he has accused ofreeeiV.
| ing the brides, and confirmed by other evil
| dence of the most substantial nature.
Mere personal de malls, such as might have
satisfied the public fortnight ago, will now
answer no purpose, excep. TO convince the
people that the party denying Is really
! guilty"
