AN AWKWARD HUMBUG.

The local reporters are in high glee over
the discovery that Livingston, the pre-
tended Spiritualist, has been exposed to a
Grunewald Hall audience as a humbug.
This excess of shouting over the discom-
future of the poor adept at trickery would
imply that the exposure is something I'M
usual-something out Of the regular course
of things. But such is not the case.
Livingston belongs to class which is
almost daily undergoing exposure. Some
times the necromancer is dexterous enough
to escape detection, and so escapes with
credit and eclat. We remember seeing
very clever fellow of this sort at the Ex-
position building few months after it
was opened. He called himself Fakir
of something or other, but set up no
pretense to supernatural assistance or
agency. He was extremely clever and
perfectly successful. Livingston is per-
haps mere awkward imitator, not smart
enough to be entertaining, and in that
sense he is not what may be called sue
cessful humbug like the Fox girls, the
Davenports occasionally, and other stars
in the profession. He is so awkward in
his manipulations that he becomes a sort
of public nuisance, harmless, of course,
but not sufficiently entertaining to keep
an average audience quiet,

into fat places all the noisy elements, or
there is the possibility of question as,to
who are the best men. The average eau
casian thinks himself about the best man
there is, and is very apt to feel inharmon-
ious so long as the estimate is rejected by
the supporters of ward rival.
We can only extend our sympathies to
those interested in the great work of har-
ponizing that conglomerate compound
that mosaic mass, the Democratic Con-
sentative mixture heretofore yclept the
people. They have taught these same
people to rebel against the laws, even to
the robbing of private gun stores, and
they will find it more difficult to undo the
work than it was to build it up. The
Republicans have no special interests in
the discussions of these ward clubs, but
only general one in assisting the better
pc rtion of the Democracy, if such thing
can be found in anything like respectable
force to obtain control of municipal af-
fairs.

WE ARE INCREDULOUs,

Some anti-war antiquarian reports some
facts in regard to which we are little in
| credulous. He was in 1859 intimate with
Senators Hon. Albert G.. Brown and Hor.
Zachariah Chandler. He says Of them:
Bitterly opposed to each other politically,
they were pers oaally the beat of friends
and after spending the day in Congress
quar- cling and abusing each other in the
| most opprobrious terms, they would meet
IN my rooms at night and spend the evening
over a bottle of wine in the most cordial
and fraternal manner.
Now while the political hostility and
personal friendship is posi- BILE we are iu-
credulous that one poor bottle of wine
should have occupied these fraternal
gladiators during whole evening. The
narrator spends the war time in the Con-
federacy and Immediately after in 1865:
While on visit to New York and Wash.
iugton, at the request of President johnson,
l was sent for by Secretary McCulloch, who
tlndered to me the appointment of collector
of customs in the city where then resided.
This l accepted, and at once returned home
to attend to the duties of my office.
President Johnsons nominations being
at slight discount before Republican
Senate, the collector of customs receives
still further disinterested evidences of po-
litical friendship:
One of my friends in Washington feeling
uneasy lest my appointment should not re-
ceive the approval of the Senate, set him
self to work to secure my confirmation, and
among Others whose good offices he sought
was Mr.. Chandler, then all.powerful in the
Senate.
Here we are again little incredulous of
the zeal of others for tee official promotion
ofanother man, who took no interest in it at
all. We sum our incredibly then under
three points: l. That one bottle of wine
should hold two such Senators for whole
evening 2. That any man passing through
Washington should be halted by Secre-
tary of the Treasuary with demand that
he should hold Office. 8. That any man
who had accepted an unexpected appoint
ment with such promptitude, should have
stayed at home and left the confirmation
of his commission, to the chance interven-
ton of some friend in Washington, who
should have "felt uneasy" at the danger of
the incumbent.

POLITICAL DIssENsIONs.

The Democratic leaders are beginning
to realize the fruits of their own teach
ings, and have their hands full in trying
to keep their followers from raidirg each
other. The doctrine that unlawful vio-
lence is the proper cure for political dis
appointment has been both preached and
practiced here for many years. 1t is a
favorite traditic n Of the Democratic party.
The Know NOtA!ugs were first the victims
and then the employers of the system.
They enlarged upon the exsmple trans
mitted to them by their political oppo-
nents, and carried the tradition" to the
extreme verge OF excess. twas not inter.
rupted BY the war, but employed by the
Southern party" to extirpate aboitionists
and Union shr!ekers." During the past
eight years it has been the favorite weapon
employed against Republicans; the en-
tire immunity from the penalties of the
law which has attended the PAL ,icipants
in all political quarrels has emboldened
the Democratic rank and file to strike for
larger share Of profits than their lead
ers are willing to concede, and employ the
safe tradition to enforce the deman d.
When we hear speakers who late brist-
ted with warlike suggestiors counseling
their hearers to practice the arts of gentle
peace; when journals who lave made
most Of their nickels by lashing mobs
into foam come out meekly chipping
harmony" we may know the chickens
have come home to roost, and there is
trouble in the enemy's camp.
The present chief bone of contention is
the control Of the fourth Of january con-
vention. There is rare pulling and haul
ing to see who shall speak through that
penny trumpet in the name Of the people.
The factions and sub-actions are too
numerous to count and tell By name.
Each interest represents some separate,
scheme, but all point to one object--the
grasp Of official emolument.r A 'nomina-
ton is regarded equivalent to an election
in the city, and the estimate is correct if
the Republicans put ticket in the field
here and generally support it. The
Democrats can be harmonized to defeat
the Republicans, perhaps, but their
own little differences with each
other will remain unreconcilable 80
long - there are more candidates than
offices. All the counsels to harmony, and
the oratoricai appeals to stand BY the best
men Of the Democratic party win prove
idle 90 long as the harmony does not let

THE PRERoeAr1vEs OF A STATE AuD1roR.


A commission in New York is engaged
in investigating the truth of certain
charges of official malfeasance brought
against State Auditor Thayer 1t is
interesting to the New Workers because of
its connection with the canal frauds, but
i. is instructive everywhere as to the ex.
tent to which an officer entrusted with
the examination of public claims, and the
discretion to award warrants upon the
public treasury, may enlarge the profits
of his Office, by utilizing its opportunities.
As it is of extreme Importance that the
Republican public throughout the Union
should know what powers they confer in
employing man to audit accounts
against them, we have analysed with some
Care tie admitted acts of Auditor Thayer,
as furnishing, according to decision, the
basis of legitimate compensation for OIL
cial services.

prerogatives of profits enjoyed by the
