OUR NEW YORK LETTER.
New Yonk. Aug. goth.

ducting their canvass quietly, that they
are not doing much work This is a
mistake. They are now engaged i'm ma.
turing one of tho greatest schemes of
villiany that even heg have ever attemp.
ted. Everything. however, is being done
with the utmost secrecy. They know
that il their designs We're TO become
known, defeat would be certain. Their
speakers are either themselves kept in
the dark about the true meaning Of the
campaign, or they arc instructed not to
let one word drop which shall give a
hint Of what is brewing. We shall be
edited with villifcations of Tilden and
the Democratic party; old wounds.
made during the war, will be lall bare
and ruthlessly torn open. but no word
will be allowed to drop which could con.
vey an idea of what n Hayes Admins.
tra;ion would mean.
Governor Tilden evidently saw the
bearing OF the question when. i'm his Let.

tries,the official class in conjunction with
the army had been able TO rule the PEG.

lie said, Il hope rever again TO see the
cruel and remorseless prescription for
political opinions, which has disgraced
the Administration for the past years.
There is no doubt that at the coming
election we must be prepared TO see the
most insolent attempts made by the
Admnistrat party TO coerce public
opinion, and the most villainous mea-
sures for suppressing the popular will
put into operation. Already are prepa
rations being made for sending to the
South the newly levied troops. That
whole section will be placed under mill.
tary domination, and the bloody shirt
with money business will be carried
on throughout the North The latter
part of the play need not trouble us
much; the people have seen too many
bloody shirts lately TO be alarmed ut the
sight of one or two more, and money
cannot buy them TO aid in the pcrpetra.
ton OF further injury TO their country.

DEATH oil SPEAKER KERR. !
Some days have now elapsed since
this melancholy event took place, and |
yet one cannot mention il without feel /
ings Of deep emotion. Mr.. Kerr was a !
man who wound himself so peculiarly !
around the hearts Of his friends. that his /

tearing away part Of ourselves. Truly, |
Death loves a shining mark and he.
seems TO take delight in hitting that I.
mark just at the most disadvantageous /.
time for those that are left untouched /
Never was there n time when it seemed /
more necessary that we should have the |
and cooperation of those in (
whom We could trust. No man could be /
more firmly relied upon than our late re- ,
vercd Speaker. Always truthful, always (
reliable In Judgment and firm in his con
victions, his advice was invaluable al /
ways ready Tor action, when his physical /
strength permitted, and always an i'm. .
placablc foe TO anything That would work .
IN injury TO his country, his presence
was tower Of strength. And we hsye .
lost him. Deeply do we feel our loss,
but VIC will not repine, seeing that he .
has gained the rest which he had earned .
by his wcll-spcnt life. and into which so \
many more orus could be glad 20 enter.
