tion-The Democrats Anxious About
New York and New Jersey.

At the Republican National Headquarters in
the Fifth Avenue Hotel to-day the Republic
ans were in the best spirits The campaign
has assumed new and more pt omising aspect
than before, and under ne impulse promises
to go forward to more favorable conclusion
than even the most sanguine member of the
party could have hoped week ago.
In every part of the Northern States as well as
in the West. and South the business men of the
country have awakened to the danger of per-
mitting change in the administration from Re-
publicans to Democrats. Letters are received
from prominent men, and verbal assurances of
moral and pecuniary support in the campaign
have been sent to the leaders OF the party. A
prominent merchant of this city, who was sup
posed to be favorable to the election of Mr..
Tilden, yesterday declared that he feared to
assist in his cause, say ing that the mere possi-
bility of the succession of Mr.. Hendricks to the
Chief Executive Office was sufficient to prevent
him from giving Mr.. Tilden his support.
That profound alaIm m has been awakened
there can be no doubt, and the interest of the
Germans In the financial issue has been ex-
pressed in an invitation TO Carl Schurz by
many German merchants of this city, to pre-
pare letter giving his opinion of the financial
prospect in case of the election of Tiden and
Hendricks. These inquiries are so frequent and
earnest as to reveal a concern which is daily
increasing, and promises to extend throughout
business circles all over the country. Mr.
Schurz is preparing his answer and it will be
issued in a few days.

MEDIEVAL WALL DRAPERIES.

MEDIEVAL WALL DRAPERIES.
The love of decoration in the medieval era
was intense, and the delight in color. II is no.
tceable with all semi-ciyilized people that long
before they attain equal eminence in other
points. they arrive at perfection in their knowl-
edge and love of color. This is the case to-day
with the Japanese, and this was the case with
our ancestors. They early hung upon their
walls the best they could; if partly for warmth,
for beauty also-that is, they made their
warmth beautiful; if it was linen, it was
painted in divers tnts; and if was leather they
had it correspondingly variegated; if it was
needle-work it was the glory OF the East, or
that to which all the women of the household
dedicated their lives until the day when Arras
began to take tribute of the nations: or here it
was of damask, woven at first of scarlet and
violet, green, yellow, blue, and gray, with the
figure thrown up in gold and silver, afterward
of the rich crimson that has given its name to
the damson plum, and there of the Venice
silk, where velvet flowers swan upon a sllken
ground. Sometimes the hangings were used
for portieres, sometimes to separate the great
room intotseveral, always to ornament the wall
and the best ones were not all the time in use.
In the few dwellings remaining of this era,
although the hangDgs are utterly gone, por-
tions of the hooks that held them aie vet in
the wall. In certain rooms, not the loftiest,
the hangings swept from top to bottom; in
others the benches, with their decorated and
daised backs, rau nearly round the room, in
which case the hangngs were sometimes dis
pensed with, except for the windows and door
ways and for the strip of stuff depending
from the chimney-piece, to be swept aside or
to pull between the sitter and the blaze accord
ing to the degree of heat; in others wa;nscot
extended some six or eight feet from the floor.
then came the hangings, aud above the hang
ings pointed or sculptured frieze, the diree-
tionS for the painting of these walls above the
hangings being often cf the most elaborate
description. In the last days of the Gothic an
ornamental plaster work supplied the place of
this hanging and intruded upon the cornice.
But at a period shortly before that, when not
only had windows been enlarged, but filled
with glass, and the glass stained, it is difficult
to imagine anything too rich and brilliant for
the effect of these wall decorations-the PAN
els carved and glIed the hangnss emblazoned
with the most rich and delicate eoorlng, the
painted glass carrying on the story 10 even
greater brlliancy. We may be more comforta-

Camnaign Notes.

The Easton Democrats have symbolized
their Presidential ticket by erecting a flag
staff with hard hickory base and soft
pine head. This means that the soft part of
the party is on top.-Hartord Courant.
We are in favor, for sake of the South, no
less than the North, of the dissolution of the
old firm of solid South and Democratic party.
1t never was party for legitimate business,
and means mischief now more than ever.

This Solid South business is, looming up
into great seriousness. No man elected by

South Carolina tuiU euer be alloaoed to take
his seat as President of the United States.
This is our deliberate judgment.-St. Louis
Globe.
The only thing that can prevent Connecti-
cuts being carried for Hayes and Wheeler is
letting the Republican reserve vote stay at
home on the Sth proximo. If the town COM
mittees will exert themselves to bring out
the vote, Connecticut is sure for Hayes even

the state, outside of New York and Kings
cannot fail to give from 10000 to $4,000 ma.
jority for Hayes and Morgan. The most ex-
travagant claimants only assume $4,000 DEM
ocratic majority in those two counties. That
would leave $4,000 to $4,000 Republican ma
jority in the state.-Utica Herald.
Our receipt for destroying the Democratic
party by the election of Greeley was not tried.
The dissatisfaction with Grantism, which ap-
peared with increased energies during the
second term of that malady, unfortunately
could find no other vent for the time than
through the Democratic party, and gave that
party the present Congress. At once the
party was in conceit of itself again, and there
was uncoiled before the country in this cam

There never has been much ground for the
Democratic claims on California, and now
| Senator Sargent puts the State surely in the
Republican column, with Nevada and Oregon
beside it. Writing from San Francisco, he
| says: "The political prospects here are bright
| for Hayes and Wheeler. The Republican
party is better organized than ever before.
The spirit of 1861 is alive. We shall certainly
elect three out OF fonr Congressman, with a
good chance for the fourth, while the State is
good for 1000 on the Presidential ticket. AS

friends are also hopeful in Oregon. l do not
not think Tilden will have an electoral vote
from the Pacific States, and have good rea-
sons for my belief"

Leonard Amblan, a Belgian, arrested in
Jaly on board an outward bound steamer for
Liverpool, accused of the robbery and murder
of M. Murat, banker, and his housekeeper,
at Civry, near Brussels, was delivered on FRI
day to Belgian officer at Dover. Arriving at
Ostend, the officer and his prisoner, the latter
being manacled. took special compartment in
the Brussels train. On the arrival of the train
at Brussels both were missing. The compart-
ment occupied was deluged with blood and
bore the marks of terrific struggle. The
body of the officer was found beside the track,
the skull and face being battered. All his val
uables were missing. 1t is conjectured that
Amban watched the opportunity to attack the
officer with his wrist irons and beat him to
death, after which he unlocked the manacles
and escaped. He has not yet been recaptured.

At the primary election held here
last Saturday r. McLeran. John
Mcguire and J. Heron were elected
delegates to the Democratic County
Convention.
The advance agent of Lewis Brothers
Troupe passed here Sunday on his way
to Winnemucca. They will give an
entertainment here on the 9th.
George Willard had narrow escape
few days ago. He was lying asleep
on his bunk when one of the men dis.
covered large rattlesnake within few
inches of his head, and apparently
making itself as much at home as If it
had proprietary right to the couch; at
all events when Willard was awakened
he did not for some m oments dispute the
matter with his snakeship, but made,
considering recumbent position, one of
the biggest jumps on record, and escaped
without being bitten.
This country will be quite deserted
in few days. as everybody who can
get away is going to the fair.
Mr.. Hayes, sub-Sheriff, laughingly
said while here that the soldiers were
subsidized by the Democratic party, as
there are only three declared Rspubli-
cans in this section, consequently no
Republican primary.
Hank Rosseau, while driving team
for c. Bowling, at Canyon Creek, got
severely bruised. His saddle horse
fell under the tongue, and the wagon
ran over Rosseau's feet. He is, how
ever doing well, and the injury will not
affect him further than causing lay-of
for o week or two.

ANNOUNCED TO SPEAK.-Tom Fitch,
called "the Silver Tongued." probably
because it is always at the service Of
those who have silver or gold to purI
chase it, is announced to speak here
next week. Napoleon once said that

the heaviest battalions," and as Tom
Fitch IL always on the side that has the
most money. it is unnecessary to state
that his speech will be fer the extention

Tweed Surprised.

Woo. Sept. &c.
The United States steamer Franklin
arrived this morning. Tweed was much
surprised when told that the Franklin
was to take him to the United States.
He bad hoped on arriving in Cuba to
be able, through the assistance and
influence of his friends to avoid being
surrendered to the American authorities.
He expressed great disappointment at
the new aspect of affairs on the arrival
of the Franklin. Mr.. Adee, acting
Minister for the United States in the
absence of General Cushing, went on
board and conferred with the Com
mander regarding the proposed transfer
of Tweed and Hunt to the Franklin.
1t is the intention to remove the pris-
oners from their present quarters to
the steamer this evening. During their
confinement in Castillo de Casta Tweed
and Hunt were kept 10 separate rooms,
closely guarded, and were not allowed
to communicate with each other. The
Captain General issued strict orders
that no one should be allowed to speak
to them. Mr.. Adee has been warned
that Tweed might destroy himselfrather
than return to New York. The Com
mander of the Franklin has therefore
been instructed to keep him strictly
confined, and give him no opportunity
to jump overheard.
