The telegraph brings the important
news that the notorious Tom Murphy, of
New York, has sold at auction all the gor-
geous furniture and fixtures of his splen-
did mansion, and Of his cottage, next door
to Grants at Long Branch, preparatory to
leaving the country, Murphy is one Of the
smartest, as we'll as one Of the most sue
cessful Of the statesmen" which the Re-
publican party has inflicted on the country
He was the leader Of the Republican seq
ment Of the Tammsny ring, and was ap-
pointed collector of customs in New York,
by Grant, early in 1869. He helped Grant
in the Black Friday speculation Of 1869,
and was active, though NOT prominent. in
the French arms robbery in 1870. Many
good Republicans credit him with beine
the author Of the carriage and general or
der robbery in New York. which was work
cd by Grant, Leet & Stocking, Porter anc
Babcock, but Murphy never claimed tbi.
honor, and there is some reason to believe
this scheme originated at the Whit,
House. 1t turned Moses Fl. Grinuell, on,
Of the best men in the Republican party
out of the collectorship because he would
not give the White House Ring monopo
ly Of the carriage business, and put Muir
ply into the Office because he voult
do it. In 1871, when Iilden and OCono
made their final and successful raid OF
the Tammany ring, capturing Tweed anC
driving his gang out of the country,
Murphy, with the assistance of Grant
escaped Tilden's warrants by neat piece
of strategy. He went on board the
United States man of-war in the New
York harbor which Grant ordered there
for his reception. The New York officer,
followed, but the commander of the vesse
refused to allow the writs 10 be served AM
the skip shortly after sailed for Cuba
tie was safe, Of course, until it became ap
parent that Tiden is to be elected anc
now he sells out and proposes to fee thu
country.
1t is reported in New York that he, a
one time, boosted that he had escaped
Tilden and defied him to another trial o
sagacity, aud the report goes TO the effec
that Tildeu has never forgotten the chal
lenge and that he regards Murphy with
specially vindictive purpose. Up to thi
Murphy is certainly ahead, aud though h
will have to leave the country, it woul
seem now that he will get away with a
his plumber, which will, by all good Re
publicans, be regarded as a substantia
victory. His example in selling out an
skipping out should be initiated by a
distinctive Republicans.

flevoting their powerful minds TO the
work Of developing Gen. Nichols sen

half century heavy on the subject Of

those great journals which have the
