In a previous letter said that the Tam
many and Anti-Tammany factions would
make up their differences as soon as they
could come to an agreement as to an equit-
able division Of the spoils. That time has
arrived, and per consequence, Tammany
and Anti-Tammany have shaken hands,
and John Morrisey and John Kelly are
fighting together in the persuit Of govern
ment spoils; the bargain was virtually con-
summated weeks ago-the formal ratifca
ton was made last Tuesday The reform
ers" devided up the offices among their
henchmen, down to the last tide-waiter they
fixed upon the price of everything, and hay-
ing all this done, they march on hand-in-
hand to victory and the spoils; alas, there
is now no Anti -Tammany-Morrisey has
struck hands with Kelly, and the forty
thieves are acting as one man. They have
postponed their quarrels as all brigands do,
till the great prize of federal plunder is Sc
cured.

As an evidence that the world is moving
out of the rats Of antiquity, and that the
heatEIen is becoming interested in the
Frank, Persian postage stamps were this
day received at the Post0fice Department.
The design is a lion, with his right feet up
raised, and carrying in it a sword. In point
OF artistic finish they are decidedly coarse.
Ieelandie specimen stamps were also reeeiF-

The prospect Of a union Of the Northern

In addition to the disturbance created
within the limits OF the District by he .'re-
form regulations of the late Congress,
some thirty clerks in the Office Of the Comp
trollcr of the Currency are to receive notice
that their services will close on The 18th of
October. Conducted on the same principle
as all well regulated banking houses, the
clerks being necessitated to balance their
cash account daily before closing, this re-
duetion viii necessitate more hours Of la
Dor in this Office, and correspondence will
have 10 wait and receive answer at such
times as the public interests will permit.
Those who were crippled during the war,
and receive $24 per month pension, have

The discord in the Democratic camp in
New York is ominous. Kelley and Morris
sey cannot agree, and the latter threatens
to eoalesce with the Republicans, and go
in snooks, and carry the city as they did
last fall. As this means trading, says the
Tribune, Governor Tilden will not stand
idly by. Besides there is a chance for
high old time at the State Convention, and
the ancient and frisky ''reformer" knows
full well that any neglect may sometime
cause him to exclaim, as did the Ethiopian
relative to an unseen goat. Il dunno zaet-
ly, but peared as if the sho kinder tristed

The Reform campaign started by Gov.
Tilden has troublous beginning. Besides
the other tricks and frauds that are COM
ing to the surface from day to day, the
latest and most damaging of all is the per-
jury case, resorted to to defraud the gov
ernment. The two oaths-that of 1862 and
the other of 1876-stand out in bold an
tagonism and cannot be palliated or ex-.
planned away. Slippery Sans infamies
seem likely to swamp him, and the Reform
movement bids fair to be lost to the world.
This last load that seems so likely to break
the donkey's back, honest voters begin to
realize the gravity of, and admit that the
charge cannot be evaded without disaster
to the party. Others tell us that the rank
and file will not believe it, and attempt to
slough it over and push along. But this
cannot be done. Sam must take the bull
by the horns or be butted off the bridge in
disgrace.

The nomination Of Morgan takes US
back to the palmy days of the now defunot
Democracy. In 1914, Silas Wright, then
in the United States Senate, was nomina-
ted, against his viii, as the Democratic
candidate for New York. He accepted,
and was elected. His candidacy was
master-stroke Of his party. 1t secured
the electoral vote of the State for James K.
Polk History is about to repeat itself
The nomination of Morgan will be attend
ed by the casting of the electoral vote of
the Empire State for Hayes and Wheeler.
The platform adopted by the Convention
is bold and manly. In contradistinction
to the financial plank of the Democratic
platform, it denounces the attempt by the
Democratic house of Representatives to re-
peal the date for resumption as an act for
reputation. It likewise denounces Gov.
Illden's dupIcity IN first signing State
specie-paying act, and then joining his
party in opposing specie payment by the
Government. These are strong points,
which will tell in November against the
sham Democracy, and in favor of true, 10y

For the Tilden Club the following top
les are offered for discussion at the future
meetings of the Tilden Reform Club:
Resolved, 1st, That Samuel J. TiIden
has shown himself worthy Of our full con-
fdence in withholding from the United
States Government a portion Of his income
tax, and is fully justified in the perjury he
committed in so doing.
Resolved, I'd, That he has shown himself
a wise financier in obtaining from the Erie
Railway Company fee of one million dol
lars for two years services, twenty-five
thousand dollars for aiding in the organi-
ization of the Credit Mobilier and embez-
zling three-quarters Of million dollars IN
stocks and bonds from the Alton, Terre
Haute & st. Louis Railroad Company.
ReSoIued, Sd, That his course during the
war, discouraging enlistments, circulating
rebel literature, and amassing wealth by
working railroads was more honorable than
that of R. B. Hayes at the front.
Resolved, 4th, That the Democratic
House of Representatives in Congress
struck the key note of reform by turning
out sixty Union soldiers and appointing IN
their places nearly equal number OF rebel
soldiers.
ResoIUed, 5th, That it is better to carry
the Southern States for the Democracy by
Ku-Klux and shot-guns than to allow the
Republicans to carry them.

OUT OF TOWN.

The weather is not so horribly warm as
it was, but yet it is torred enough to keep
the people out of town. The women who
change their dresses every hour have not
yet enough of gayety, and as there is no
business in town the men may as well stay
away as not. Everything is dull and dead,
and will be so for some weeks yet. The
churches are mostly closed, the theatres
might as well be, and for all that is doing
the stores might as well initiate the church
es. 1t is growing cooler, however, by de-
grees, and in a few weeks the deserted
streets will show some sign of life again.
