BOLD ADMINISTRATION SCHEME. We
have reliable advices from Washington
concerning bold scheme meditated by
President Grant and his party. to secure
his reelection. This is to be accom-.
plished through Democratic nomina-
ton of third ticket at Baltimore, and
to have this nomination made the Admi-
nistration is exerting itself to the utmost.
A number of influential Southern men
have been in vited to Washington, with
ont being informed what they were to
come for. and some of these gentlemen
are now in that city. Their presence
has led to inquiry, and it has leaked out
that the Administration party has made
them this proposition: If they will send
delegations from the Southern States to
Baltimore instructed to demand Demo
cratic nomination, or to bolt the Con-
vention in case it refuses to take that
step, and make nomination, tile dmi-
nistration party will pass the bill to re-
fund the cotton tax, grant aid to the At
lantic and Great Western Canal of
Georgia, and grant aid and subsidies to
other Southern enterprises and schemes
now before Congress.
This is an outline of the negotiation,
and if the country will watch proceed
ings at Washington closely for the next
few days, it will see e. bold development
Of it. It is said that one or two of the
Southern men interested in the enter
prises referred to are disposed to listen
to the Administration proposition, but,
as general thing, they resolutely reject
it, and determine to take their chances
under the administration of Horace
Greeley and friendly Congress, rather
than fall into the trap. The popular
sentiment at the South is growing more
emphatic for Greeley and Brown every
hour, and bargain by which the South
ern delegations at Baltimore should vote
for third ticket would be gross ont
rage on this popular sentiment.
This is the first Administration scheme
to defeat Greeley; others will follow in
due time.-&. Louis Republican.

The Mexican revolution still drags its
bloody length along. Every little while
it Is announced that the Juarez govern
ment has about succeeded in crushing
out the rebellion, and the next day
brings US an account perhaps OF the de-
sertion of brigade to the revolution

by Diaz. The civil war is apparently no
nearer its termination than it was q
month after it began. Well. if the
Mexicans like that sort OF thing, VIC sup
pose other people ought not to object to
their enjoying themselves in their own
woy, particularly as they would be sure
to resent any interference. Macmillan
tried to give them stable government,
and see what came of it. The attempt
cost him his life Revolution is evident

II they would only finish up the job OF
butchering each other, Mexico might
hereafter take respectable rank among
the nations. AS it is, there is little or
no hope of such thing ever occurring.

due at Columbia at AS p. NJ, ran over
and instantly killed colored boy, about
eighteen years OF age, named George
Massey. From view of the body and
che soene of the accident, we infer that
deceased was on the lower end of the
trestle. near Fishers mill pond, and dis
covering that the train was rapidly ap-
preaching, he endeavored to escape by
running to the upper end, and had
actually reached that point, when he
must have fallen. The engineer gave all
the warning possible, by blowing the
engine whistle, &c.; but it was impossi-
BILE to check the speed of the locomotive,
as the down grade at that point is suffi-
ciently steep to give an impetus that will
drive train 70 the depot. The body of
deceased was horribly mangled, the skull
being crushed, the bowels ripped out,
the legs and arms broken and doubled
up, and the body nearly oloven in twain.

THE SATANIC FOR Wharf.-The effect OF
the recent treaty negotiations on the
New York Herald is truly startling. It
comes boldly to the front with flags fly
ing, drums beating and guns leveled,
and breathes ont threatenings and
slaughter against the British Govern
ment, the while it soundly cndgels and
belabors our own. The whole contro.
versy it considers hollow mockery, in
view of the "humiliating knowledge"
that while we have altogether the best of
the argument, we "weaken" before the
superior boldness" of the English
statesmen, and degrade ourselves by
entertaining their ''inselent demand
for our unconditional surrender" The
"timidity or incapacity" of our diplo-
matte officers receive the sharpest scourg-
ing which the Herald thong is capable
of inhicting. 1--WE have had quite
enough, it says, 'of weak fish, jelly
fish and Spanish mackerel in our diplo-
macy" Those among the Senators who
counsel the Infamous surrender" will
also be pilloried by an avenging public,
und secret diplomatic negotiations have
had their day. As for the Commercial

acceptance Of the national disgrace, u
aud consumption of humble pie ad

SNUFFED OUT.

The defunct, or dying, Board of Tammany
Aldermen had lively celebration of New
Years Day. Intrencbed in their council
chamber, they defied alike the courts and
public opinion, and determined TO hold
to their existence as long as possible.
Rumors of rebellion, instruction, and civil
when it was known that this Rump Board
had resolved to continue to act as the legis-
lative branch of the City Government, in spite
of the expiration of its legal term of exist
ence. There was then a marshaling of hosts,
and while the excited legislators were electing
each other President, the police legions
were drawing their lines of decentralization
and circumvention-about the fortress of the
cOnspirators. Blithe New Year callers and
social visitors little rocked of the speck of war
which had suddenly appeared in the City Hall,
and peaceable passers-by wondered at the
unwOnted sight of platoons of police
moving up by the right flank to
the halls of municipal legislation. But
the struggles of the Tammany Aldermen were
vain, and in the joints of their armor there
suddenly entered to them a weapon in the
person of an officer of the Supreme Court.
Shields, slipping in through the narrow crack
of a half-forced door, smOte the affrghted
Aldermen with writs forbidding them to
exercise any longer the official duties
which they had heretofore discharged. Panic
seized on the bold rebels, and they scattered
in every direction, avoiding the fateful papers.
There was a little resisting ruflanism, and the
ruling spirit of Tammany WAS strong even
in its death taroes hut the files of
police and the Supreme Court wrts
were stronger than btavado, and this

The Catholic Total Abstinence Unions of
the District of Columbia and the States of
New-YOrk, New Jersey, Connecticut, and Rhode
Island have made appropriate choice of the be-
ginning of the year for the publication of an
address, the substance Of which will be found
in this mornings paper. They review the good
work which they have already effected during
the short time since their organization, and
note the cheering prospect of still more ex-
tended activity which now opens before them.
The happiest results have followed from the
cooperation of various local Unions, and es-
pecially from the system Of transfers which
secures to the members of one society the
privileges of brotherhOOdand a friendly greeting
in all the others. TO perfect this system and
increase the effectiveness of the war against
intenlperance, it is proposed to hold a ma
tional convention of Catholic Total Absti-
hence Associations in Baltimore on the 22d of
February. at which all the societies and unions
in the country will DO entitled to representa-
ton. We heartily second this proposal, and
commend the work of these Catholic Unions
to the sympathy of all good men.

their chamber, into which sOon entered
the rightful representatives of the peo-
ole, and 80 the Reform Board came
in as the Iammany Board went out.
Nobody supposed that this shameful and impu-
dent attempt at subversion OF the laws would
succeed; but nobody guessed that 1t would
come to such q sudden and COmlcal end Inc
picture of the plottcrs, who pretended to be
officials, flying before few bits Of paper Like
birds from a scarccrow, is a fit tail-plece TO
their long career of jugglery
But, before they reached their proper end in
such admired disorder they had sudden
spasm of virtuous Indignation, and threatened
Mayor Hall with impeachment. There is no
question whatever as to the delnquencies OF
the Mayor in the line of his Official duty; but
this sudden spurt on the part of the Alder
men looks more like an attempt to
get even with Mayor Hall for his late
GOODNESS toward a Board which was fraudu-
lently keeping up an existence rather than an
honest endeavOr to serve the ends OF justice
The Board has had the evidence of the
Mayors "malfeasance and misleasance" in its
possession for months and has never thought
it worth while heretofore to so much as
allude to the results of an investigation
which it did all it could to hinder. But no
sooner do these men, who have been in some
sense fellow-conspirators with Tweed and his
gang, become assured that Mayor Hall will not
recognize them any longer, than they demand
his impeachment on the basis of the report of
the Aldermen's and Citizens Joint Committee
on City and County Accounts. The CONVEX
sion of these old rOgues to something like
semblance Of honesty is late; it is a pity that
it is so late that nobody will consent to regard
it Us aught but malicious joke.
