Mr.. Hugh Lewis, the engraver, who is
preparing the neatly executed names OF
the streets of the city, which are to be
affixed to the lamps, has, we under

correct spelling Of Dryads, Philip and
Prytanea streets for the labels. The
job is very nearly finished. and would
have been completed by this time but
for the care which he puts on his work.
The labels are made Of tough white

New ORLEANS, July 20, 1876.
Editor Denocrdt-In your yesterdays
issue the boys are tenderly treated, and
their claim TO large representation Is
urged on the ground OF their doing the
largest part of the voting, and the
hardest part OF the work. That claim
no one will dispute, and fault Is only
found with the means alleged to have
been used in securing 1T. e., persona
ton, repetition, and the importing of
fraudulent votes by the wagonfull.
Now. II these charges are founded,
such practices had better be discarded
at the next primaries, for, IL continued,
division In the party will be the newt
able result, and all honest voters left no
alternative but to select and vote for
candidates of their own choice. All
honorable concessions and compro-
misses should be made to avoid q WAT Of
are to be found In oil of them, It Ger.
sainly behooves the party OF purity and
reform to disown and check both its
ward bummers and demagogues in their
attempts at controlling local election
by a local fraud, and its bad rich men
when forming rings with the Custom
house and State House thieves to swim
die the people out of their money.
FAIR PLAY.
We concur in very nearly all that our
correspondent, Fair Play" says in his
communication this evening. 1t was
not the intention of the DEMOCRAT to
excuse. in any measure, the practise of
fraud upon any scale in our elections.
ON the contrary, the most rigid means
should be adopted to prevent it. What
we meant to say was, that all
The bad and corrupt men were
not in the ranks of 1.-THE boys" and
that we have as much reason to
watch the silk stockings" as we have
20 watch the "short hairs" If the
frauds practiced in our ward elections
~ the corrupt men among the latter
nave nscome an evil in our politics, it
cannot be denied that the corrupt men
among the former have organized rings
which have oppressed the State and
done much to corrupt and demoralize
che masses OF the people and to encour-
age the very evils which pervades our
ward politics. The true policy is to OPP
pose the bad men without reference to
the classes in which they are found, and
thus check ballot box stufIing and break
I'D the corrupt rings at the Same time.

party. 30 far as that policy stiles every
honest expression Of democratic Judgment
We do not say, because we are far from
thinking, that Mr.. Kelly would use his
power to plumber the city. But the system
which built up Tweed can break down
Kelly and lift up another Tweed in his
place. So long as the Tammany system
continues Tweedism is not only possible
but probable. The true way to make the
democratic party in New York powerful and
respected is for the leaders to dissolve their
monkey show of an Order and throw open
the government of the party to convention
of the members representing all who believe
in democratic principles and desire to see
them triumphant. As it is no interest is
served by the Tammany Order but that OF
the 'boss" who happens to have power
Tweed yesterday, Kelly to-day-and it may
be much worse man than even Tweed to-
morrow. If Kelly had done this last autumn
he would not have met with his dishonoring
and disastrous defeat. If he does not do it
now he will invite another defeat, which may
cost his party not only the control of the
State, but of the Union. Politics promise
to run SO close this fall that the vote of Now
York may decide the election in the country.
If the democrats 60 into the fight with this
tomfoolery of Tammany on their shoulders
they will be beaten as ANONYMOUSLY as they
were beaten last November.

Scarcely any feature in the news of the
day will BE- scanned with moro eager inter-
est and curiosity than the column which
gives the last will and testament of the rich
est merchant ever yet known in the history
of our city, or perhaps in the history of any
other city. 1t is, Indeed, subject some
what attractive to the speculative fancy,
how q man of recognized int .ligenc,, Of
great methodical habits, with disposition
judiciously charitable, and without heirs in
the ordinary sense, is likely to dispose of
twenty millions of doll rs-a wealth almost
fabulous, even as fortunes go. But if the
speculation was widely INDUCED the answer
comes early, and it will disappoint the many
friends of Mr. Stewart as we'll as the pub
lic in SO far as it practically does not make
that disposition of his property which by
his will he declares he wishes to have made.
For the first time he appears in the light of
one who hesitated till the opportu ity was
gone. He dreamed over magnificent
schemes for the benefit Of the city-public
charities doubtless Of o very practical
nature-but he could not decide and life
passed away ere he could determine how to
act or decide which of many schemes was
most to his satisfaction. The loss of his
ideas on this subject, if they are
lost, is no small concern; for the man whose
Judgment and perception of details organized
that human hive Of shop in which this
great fortune was made was above all others
the man who might have conceived and
planned public charity that would have
been benefit to the needy rather than an
encouragement to the idle, and where the
poor would not have been defrnuded by the
expenses of the organization. But oil that
grand opportunity, oil the luxury of doing
good on scale not often afforded, is be-
queathed to the millionnaire's wife as a holy
duty, with his whole fortune rs the means
to carry out his wishes. In SO far as the will
is definite it shows the nature Of the man.
He remembers handsomely the friends Of his
early youth and repays amply the hospi-
tally extended to him in early life, and to
his constant friend and adviser, Judge Hill
ton, he is more magnificent than princes
ever are Few men get legacics of million
dollars, even with prospective services in
view. Some thirty persons get legacies of
from five to twenty thousand dollars, and
the legacies directed to persons in his en-
ploy will certainly exhaust over hundred
thousand dollars, and it may even run to a
quarter of o million.

Chicago would do the credit of the city more
injury than the operations Of dozen rings.
The value of our victory over Tammany was
that it was the triumph Of truth over crime.
of law and order over jobbery and revolu-
ton
Therefore our whole heart goes out to
Chicago in the noble work her people are
doing Above all we rejoice in the attitude
of her independent newspapers. In those
higher essentials of journalism, courage and
integrity, Chicago may well rejoice in her
press. And why, TO broaden the theme, why
would it not be well for those in the highest
stations, for rulers like Grant, to listen we'll
to the voice of the people as expressed and
to anticipate summons that may soon be
addressed to them? So far rs this admins
tration is concerned the people are rapidly
becoming rs angry as the citizens of Chicago
with their rulers. The revelations of Bel
knap's crimes, the gathering clouds that
darken the Navy Department, the dis
honor of Delano and Williams and
Babcock, the influence of crony like
Shepherd and brother like Orville
over the President, the want of tone
in the administration, the degradation of the
Senate, ambassadors selling worthless min
ing shares to women and children in Eng
land, the treatment of the Indians and the
soldiers, the mania for jobbery, petit lar
ceny and defiance of law which spreads
through all departments--all of this pro-
foundly affects the country, and we may see
such an uprising as was seen in New York
to-day. We hear the signs from oil quar-
tiers. While we are patient people we are
capable of terrible anger. This anger is
fostcred by President who has no respect
for public opinion, who protects every scamp
and vagabond until the constable carries them
into court, who even makes merit of doing
these things, as a duty he owes to friends
under fire." Well would it be for the Presi-
dent, we'll for his fame and for the country's
peace, if he would rise to the dignity of COM
pretending the popular mind. Let him an
ticipate the wish IN the heart of every true
Americana the wish that he would purify
his administration, elevate the party and
give us peace; for We are not at peace. The
storm of war has given place to the plague of
corruption. The President did much to
allay the one; he can do much to remove
the other Let him listen to Chicago and
be wise while it is time, wise before it is too
late, not alone for his own fame, but for the
discipline of his party and the honor Of the
Republic.

II seems to have been decided in Kentucky
that man may legally have two wives in
that State; for it was held by Chancellor
Bruce, in the Newcomb case, that at the time
Of the death Of II. d. Newcomb, in 1874, Mrs.
Cornelia w. Newcomb was his wife md
entitled as such to right of dover in his
estate, and that Mary G. Smith or Newcomb
was also his wife as far as was necessary to
secure the Legitimacy of her children, Of
which Newcomb was the father. Mrs. New
comb the first became hopelessly insane in
1852 and is insane now. Many years after
his wife became insane--nearly twenty years,
apparcntly-Mr Newcomb obtained divorce
and married again. Insanity was ground
of divorce by statute in Kentucky at the
time; but statute would hardly seem to be
necessary in such case, inasmuch ms in
sanity of twenty years duration is good
ground for divorce under the laws Of every
civilized country. BY Newcombs will the
insane wife was we'll provided for and large
estate was left to the second wife and her
children. But son of the first wife, on the
ground that the divorce was irregular, has
had the will set aside, and thus the insane
woman, whose only heir he is, secures tho
dower-about half . million dollars. For

The lecture of Mr.. George William Curtis
at Chickering Hall on Wednesday night was
fine example of Mr.. Curtis at his best.
The theme was woman, theme that has in
spired the noblcst utterances of the human
intellect. Mr.. Curtis came into beautiful
prominence as a teacher of virtue and man
ners and fashions and show to behave"
Listen to his SOFT tender, wise words:-''We
bewail our society--so giddy, SO gross"
young men content to drive fast
horses and play billiards; young women
in the finest dresses hobbling on
high heeled shoes that pinch their
feet into Chinese deformity, in bonds that
squeeze their waists" After this, according
to the report, Mr.. Curtis gave "a very lovely
and very graphic" description of supper at
which men half intoxicated toasted women,
and then sung 1--WE won't go home till morn
ing" After this ''lively and graphic descrip-
ton Mr.. Curtis rose into higher strain. I'm
this audience before which stand" he said,
'there may be some Romeo sitting some
where, his hand gently stealing where his
hand ought not to be, and whispering Ah,
Juliet, Juliet, let that man on the platform
say what he chooses know what you ara
made for-you are made to eat strawberries,
sugar and cream" In conclusion, says the
eloquent orator, 1--WE have left the painted
doll with Chesterfield and the club, and 60
forward, God helping us, to find the true
woman in the free American home"
AS our readers will observe, these bewitch-
ing extracts justify the praise we have be-
slowed upon Mr.. Curtis as an authority on
fashions and manners When we read such
lecture filed with these noble sentiments;
when we see master of all that is good and
fashionable and proper delighting to instruct
the men and women of the day, we cannot
but regret that he should have thrown him.
self away on mere political convention at
Syracuse. If Mr.. Curtis had delivered this
enticing essay to the Convention instead Of
his political harangue it would have been
better for his fame, better for the harmony
Of the party. This is the aspect in
which we delight to view MIR. Curtis.
He is too fine q soul to be dragged in
the mire Of politics He should 60 to the
Convention at Cincinnati and deliver this
lecture before it, teaching that rabble
of schemers and politicians show to be-
have" Then let him obey the will of the
Convention at Syracuse, and vote for Conk-
ling. This will have the effect of pleasing
oil parties-the sincere republicans of New
York who desire the nomination of Mr..
Conkling and that large body of delegates
who will rejoice to hear this exquisite essay
list dilate on the good, the proper, the beaus
tiful and the true.
