POLITICAL AFFAIRS.

Washington, September 22.-It is re
marked as a singular fact that no public men,
ton has yet been made of probable Republi-
can candidates on the New York state ticket
although the convention assemblies next We'd
nesday. There is little doubt that Senator
Conkling's friends will control the conven-
ton, which will not take any issue with the
President, nor be likely to give his civil ser
vice any cordial indGfsement-that being sub
stantially Conkling's position. In order to
prevent any serious discussion on this point
efforts are making to defeat George William
Curtis election as delegate to the conven-
ton. If chosen he will compel square
vote on the specific issue.
All reports that Senator Blaine is in bad
humor with the President are erroneous
Their relations are mutually and perfectly
cordial. Although the Senator doubted the
Southern policy, he has not fought it, and
may be relied upon to give the administration
earnest support in Congress.
Political matters in Pennsylvania improve
for the Republicans. Their organization
never seemed more compact, while the Dem
ocratic general committee is demoralized and
disunited.
The nomination of General Mcclellan for
Governor of New Jersey by the Democrats, is
accepted as a strong one, and leaves their
no hope, unless by hard work for
some exceptionally strong candidate yet I'M
named

SOME OF THE OCTOBER MAGAZINES.

1t cannot be otherwise than that the regu-
lar readers of our American magazines wish
that the publishers would abandon the habit
of anticipating the time of each numbers issue
by more than half month. At all events the
MORNING APPEAL finds something to COM
plain of in this unseemly hurry. ct is barely
possible, however, that the serial story read
ers wish that the entire years issue might be
concentrated into single one of these prema-
ture publications, and so have done at once
with the narratives whose outcome is so much
a matter of interest and speculation to them
and their sympathisers.) But this fashion of
producing an October thing in September or
an August thing in July sort o lets one in so
very abruptly behind the scenes and so init
mately among the properties of the concern
that the disillusion is shocking and fraught
with something like generalization. Too
much familiarity breeds contempt. We have,
already, the Atlantic and Harper's for Octo-
Der. The Atlantic maintains its old PAGES,
though we find the names of some new writer's
among its contributors. Aldrich's Queen of
Sheba still progresses in its strange, fascinat-
ing fashion. Howells's Counterfeit Present
ment is concluded The Poet-sculptor, Story,
has poem In Memoriam of John Lothrop
Motley respectable, only better perhaps
for it's decorous, Unconditional melancholy ca
dence. To our fancy it is commonplace-ike
the bigger half of post norton operations
Mark Twain has some sketches which are not
up to his best, and which, being fetched up
at the outcome with trife of religious emo
ton, make him seem SLOPPY and sohcitous to
find favor among his new-found Yankee neigh
bors There is a lot of good reading in the
number before us, especially in the book re-
views which are always extremely clever and
piquant in the Atlantic. Harpers maintains
the even tenor of its business-ike way. There
is always suspicion in the worldly mind that
large part of the illustrated papers in this
magazine are in the nature of well paid ads.
And somehow the pictures all look alike in
tone and texture, the portraits all have the
same revolutionary woodenness of expression,
and the reading matter fails of an attractive |
ness of framework 1t looks like cross be-
tween a State Department Document and
religious tract. Doubtless good deal of very
excellent matter is thus handicapped by I'M
inviting appearances. There is never too
much value to be placed on the makeup and
general complexion of a book or periodical.
The contents of the present number are quite
up to the standard taken by this magazine,
and we make no doubt that the Editors
Drawer is just melancholy in its fun as
ever it was. We haven't the courags, how
ever, to look and see We'd as soon attend a
TESTERS funeral! We should like Harpers bet
ter if its conductors had shown nicer taste
than to copy the title cover of Bentleys Mis-
,ellany for its own. 1t is very meaningless
and very ugly.

The color line is again made plainly evident
at Austin. The Reveille of Saturday repre-
sents it as follows: A charcoal teamster stop
ped in front of popular Main street saloon
this morning and went to the saloon to get a
drink. The barkeeper happened to be play
ing game of billiards at the rear end of the
saloon and there was nobody behind the bar;
and when the teamster saw his own image
reflected in the big mirror on the wall back of
the bar, he turned away and said he wished
he might be bowed if he was going to drink
in any saloon where they had niger for a
barkeeper

TWEED AT THE CONFESSIONAL

The New York Ring Thieves have all along
evinced a disposition to make Tweed the
scape-goat of all the wickedness, corruption
and crime perpetrated under the inspiration
of st. Tammany; and for long time the
Boss with rare heroism made no resistance to
such treatment He believed in the observ-
ance of honor among thieves; but when his
associate rogues thrust all the display of such
honor upon him while they paraded them
selves in the light of reformers and purists,
and he was compelled to bear all the burden
of guilt, he began to feel that an axiom whose
exactions were so previously one-sided was
not worth giving heed to, any longer. And
50 he has opened his budget at last and he
has told some terrible stories. He answers
questions promptly and produces the waitten
proofs. In the Sun of September ID we are
informed as follows: In his testimony of Sat
urday he went over many points of interest.
He gave proof of the assignment of the O'Brien
claim by producing the assignment paper
itself. He describes the raising of bride
money for the Legislature from city function
aries and contractors, form Commissioner
Smith of the Police Department., Jay Gould
of the Erie Railway, and others He gave a
concise account of the way in which contrac
tors doubled or trebled their bills against the
city, and how one-half or two-thirds of the
amount of these bills was divided among the
members of the Ring-Tweed himself, Con
molly, Sweeney, and Hall. He told how he
corrupted the Legislature, to secure the pas
sage of the Tweed charter, he delivered $780,
600 to A. D. Barber, Noah Davis's half
brother He describes, in a sickening man
ner, his wholesale and direct bribery of men
bers of the State Senate. He there paid
Senator Winslow Republican) 5000, 900 to be
equally divided among Winslow, Woodin,
Bowen Wood, and Minniea Republican Sen
ators; he was all the time giving Senator
Graham moneys s. 900 to-day, $4,000 to-
morrow, $40, 900 again, and S25, O00next time;
he paid Hugh Hastings, as lobbyist, $4,000;
he gave other men fat sinecures in the city
Government, or the control of appointments
to offices with big pay and no work. He was
fully examined in respect to the bribery OF
Senator William H. Woodin, the Republican
leader in the Senate of this State last winter;
and he certainly seemed to leave no ground
for doubling his minute and vivid account of
the bribery by himself of Woodin in the sum
of $40, 900, which was duly paid to Woodin in
accordance with the agreement between
Wondin and Tweed. When Tweed was be-
fore the Senate Commute last Spring. he re-
fused to make the disclosures he has now
made about Woodin; and consequently
Woodin was whitewashed by the Senate Com
nitte but this testimony brings Woodin's
,ase, as well as others to the front. In all its
features and incidents, the horrible tale of
in the Senate is told by Tweed
