The situation In New York City.

Appearances indicate that Gov. Til
dens irierds are afraid OF the Tammany
organization at the ensuing election.
John Kelly the Chief of Tammany, went
to St. Louisto try to defeat Mr.. Tilden's
nomination 1t is suspected by Tilden's
friends thatKelly will play them false on
election dy, on the ground that
TiIden's eection would be triumph
over him and seriously embarrass his
future influence. On the other hand,it is
asserted tha the Tammany men believe
that they ire 10 be sacrificed by the
friends OF At. Tilden; that the latter pro.
pose to use he Independent. movement in
behalf Of Comptroller Green to defeat
Smith Ely and the Tammany county
ticket, and at the same time to prevent
any loss to the Presidential ticket by de.
tection from the regular Democratic or.
ganization. There is also 3 rumor that
Kelley is to be deposed from the Tam
many dictatorship, but as there is no i'm.
mediate election for that position in the
Tammay order, it is not easy to see how
that is II be effected.
Meantime overtures have been made
to the Republicans by the Independent
Citizens party, theanti.Tammany party,
and other organizations, to join in a cOali'
tion Of all the elements Of opposition to
the Tamm,ny county ticket The Re.
publican leaders are undecided how to
act in the premises, and have adjourned
their county convention until this even
ing TO consider the matter. It is a ques
ton with them whether ani.Tammany
and the rest, after getting their (Reppb-
lican) votes for the anti.Tammsny county
ticket, will not "go back on" them on
the state and national ticket, and
whether it will not really serve to draw
out an increased Tilden vote by bringing
all the disatfee.sd anti.Tammany Demo-
craa to the polls, where they will vote
for TiIden and Hendricks, while voting
against Tammany for the local Offices.
The New York Poa thinks that il the
rumor Of a breach in the Democratic par
ty shall be confirmed, ii is not imprObs.
bic that the Republicans will take the
chances of running in straight Repub.
licau county ticket between the opposing
forces OF Tammany and anti.Tammanyi
but that paper adds suggestively that II
they do so "it is not improbable that they
will miscaIculate the chances"

CRIMES AND CASUALTIES.
Cold Blooded Murder.

ST. LOUIS, October 30.-A wanton and
cold blooded murder was committed in
the western part Of the city last night,
the circumstances attending which, how
ever, are somewhat confused. From the
last information at hand, it appears that
about 8 o'clock in the evening party Of
young men and boys were standing on
the corner Of Jefferson avenue and Pacific
street, when three young men in buggy
drove by. There was something peculiar
about the horse attached TO the buggy
which caused the boys 10 hoot at it and
utter coarse jokes. The men in the buggy
pulled up and considerable bad feeling
followed, during which some one in the
street crossed the reins and bride Of the
horse. This made the men angry, and one
OF them, jumping from the buggy, wanted
TO know who did it. Geo. Williams, n
young man 81 years old, locker on, was
pointed out as the practical joker, and n
man from the buggy rushed at him. A
scuftle ensued during which pistol was
fred and young Williams fell to the pave.
ment and died in three minutes, ball
having entered his back passed out
through his groin. The man returned to
the buggy at once, which was driven of
at furious speed and was out OF sight
before the by.standers recovered from
the shock they received. After midnight
Henry and Herman Dressing were arrest
ed as two Of the men engaged in the af-
fair and were lodged in Jail. The third
man, Wm. Weber, is not arrested yet.
Young Williams was son Of Chas. Will
liams, master mechanic OF the Pacific
railroad shops, and is said 10 have been
q very steady, irofiensive young man.
The coroners inquest on the body Of
young Williams, murdered last evening,
closed tonight, and the jury rendered a
verdict that he came to his death by a
pistol shot wound inflicted by J. Eenry
Dressing, and that Herman Dressing and
VIM. Weber were accessories to the act.
All parties are under arrest.

GERMANY.
Opening OF the German Parlia-
ment.

BERLIN, October S0.-The Imperial
Parliament for the whole Empire was
opened to-day. The Emperor's speech
was read by Herr Hotfmanns, His Majes-
ty being absent on account OF indisposi-
ton. The Imperial speech mentions the
general depression OF trade and industry
in Germany and throughout the world,
states that the object Of the Governments
Commercial policy will be a protection
Of German industry from prejudicial
effects OF one.sided custom regulations
in other countries. This object will be
kept specially in view in impending me-
gotiations for the renewal ot the COM
mercial treaties.
The foreign relation, Notwithstanding
tee difficulties OF the political situation,is
fully accordant with the Emperors views
Of n pacific policy. His constant endeav-
or is to preserve friendly relations with
all powers, especially those connected to
Germany by ties Of neighborhood and
history, and as far as peace may be en-
dangered among such, to preserve it by
friendly mediation. Whatever the future
may have in store, Germany may rest as.
sured that the blood OF her sons will be
sacrificed or risked only for the protec.
tion OF her own honor and interest.

EXHIBITION NOTES.
Notwithstanding the unyielding stand
taken by the Centennial Commissioners
against permitting the Exposition
grounds 10 be open TO the public on Sum
day, it is estimated that between 1000
and 5000 visitors were present in the
grounds and buildings yesterday, passing
the gates on passes. All the buildings
save the United States Government
building were open to the inspection OF
the favored visitors.
The attendance at the Centennial to.
day is very large. All trains and street
cars bound for the grounds in the early
part OF the day were crowded with pas
sengers. The cash admissions up to one
o'clock to-day were 74,7sS.
The prospects for the success Of per-
manent exhibition in the Main Building
are considered hattering.

ing" II was on the programme not to
allow single Republican meeting to be
held without the presence Of Democratic
orators, backed by force, to demand and
take "division OF time" The theory
was that the Republican speakers had
been stufing the heads Of the Ignorant
blacks with a choice assortment OF lies
for eight years, and that 1t was time for
the whites to break i. up in this manner.
And, but for the Presidents proclama.
tion, they would have done it, and broken
up the Republican party also. Had the
President held his hands of, as in the
case OF Mississippi, the State would have
gone Democratic by 10000 to 10000 ma.
jority. He has, by his action, saved 1t to
the Republican party, although, owing 10
the lateness Of his action, It is possible
that the Democrats will get it yet.
In addition to this extract from the
correspondence Of q. V. R., Of the Con''
mereial, the Cincinnati Gazette Of yesterday
has very interesting letter from its
special correspondent in South Carolina.
He has been on the ground only few
days, and the letter in yesterdays issue is
really the first in which he has pretended
to 90 into the merits Of the situation. He
says that all the BARRIERS and walters in
the principal towns, all the cOlored men
whose positions depend on the whites,
