VINO Judge Nelson L..

Judge Nelson, who is trying the
Tilton- Beecher case, has been very
little known in New York. Brook
Ign has been run as a close corpora
ton. A half dozen men hold the
great offices and keep them in their
vest pockets. At convenient time
they get together snd make dstri-
button. One man claims the police,
another has friend that he wishes to
he made mayor, another has a relative
that must be made Judge. Judge
Nelson was II very ordinary lawyer,
so accounted. He was doing very
snug, unostentatious business. His
son married Senator Murphy's daugh-
ter. OF course Nelson must be pro-
vided for. Senator Murphy took as his
share the City Judgeship aud gave it
to his sons father-in-law-a pretty
good slice, an office that holds for
fifteen years with II salary often thous-
and dollars year attached to it,

went through the pockets, and she found
the letter. When johnson came home

he was amazed to see Mrs. johnson with
herbonnet on and an umbrella and band
box in her hand, sitting in the hall on

What the Leading Democratic Paper
of the West Thinks.

Mir. Fernando Woods slightly con-
fident assertion that nothing can
beat the Democratic party in 1876 was
IA little too windy to meet with much
approval anywhere. The st. Louis
Republican remarks that Mr.. Woou'S
sort of talk is exactly the thing which
can defeat the party, and then asks
him To contemplate these cold facts:
" He ought To know, does know, that
the Republican party j. thoroughly or.
gained and equippru, aud nothing
can defeat II but the most brilliant gen
eralship and the best of luck on the
part of its adversary. Why, then,
does he indulge in such childish chat
ter, which will not freighten our enc
my, and will, if believed, demoralize
our friends? The Presidential race
will be no walk over rest as
sured of that. Political walls cement
ed by sixteen years of unbroken pow
er will not tumble down at the blast of
Democratic rams' horns. They must
be judlciously mined first and bravely
assaulted afterwards. If we carry them
after the hardest kind of fighting we
shall be fortunate, aud anything which
tends To delude Democrats with the
idea that the task before them is an
easy one, Is nothing less than Grimm
al folly. Mr. Wood would be much
better employed in impressing upon
his followers the necessity of winning
and holding the Independent vote. In
that vote lies the balance of power.
With it the Democracy is tolerably
sure of victory; without it the Democ-
rocy Is absolutely certain of defeat"
