"To the victors belong the spoils"
is now being carried out with a ven
geance, and without the regard for
public opinion, by the newly install
ed Parish officials, who were run on
the regular Radical ticket and voted
for in "solid phaladanx" by that
party. Mrs. Wood, a poor widow
and an estimable lady, who has had
charge Of the Parish Prison ever
since the war, always gave satisfac-
tion by her faithful attention to her
duties, has been removed. In the
very highest pitch ofpolitieal excite
ment and animosity, John DeLacey,
a sound and true blue Radical, be it
recorded to his credit retained Mrs.
Wood, and would not listen to her
removal. But under the pressure of
the newborn regime she had to be
victim with many other faithful
ones. All this is public opinion
talked out through our columns.

PRESIDENT TILDEN.
THE GREAT REFORM STATESMAN ONCE
MORE IN PRIVATE LIFE.

Relieved of his duties at Albany,
ex Governor Tilden Immediately re-
turnsd to town, and is once more at
his handsome residence on Gramercy
park. Notwithstanding his hard
work of the past few months the gov
.ernor's health is unimpaired. He
continues to take his full share of
social pleasures, and his house is the
scene of many notable gatherings.
Perhaps no man in the country is
more "called on" than he. Mr.. Til
den is easily accessible to visitors,
of whom there are many daily at the
Gramercy park house, and blessed in
the possession of unusually intelli-
gent servants, who can tell at a
glance "who's who and what's what"
he is generally able to avoid chronic
and professional bores, who are con-
signed to the tender mercies of Col.
Pelton, the Governors nephew and
secretary detailed for that duty by
the Governor, and who has had a ire
mendous experience In dealing with
them for several months past.
Governor Tilden is fond ola good
dinner, and fonder still of good
company. He seldom or never sits
down to table without a few friends,
and his guests include many of the
most distinguished men in the coun-
try, not unfrequently of both politi-
cal parties. His favorite pastime of
horseback riding is still kept up, and
every day, in every kind of weather
his well-known figure, clad in seal
skin and mounted on handsome
bay, may be seen in the park or on
the road.
Contrary to recent rumors, Cover

Plain and Strong.

The New Orleans Democrat of the
18th in leading editorial referring
to the probabilities of Packard at
tempting to retake the Courts and
Stations, uses the following plain and
to the point language, and we are free
to admit that we are in no mood to
differ with it's able and bold editor,
Major Hearsay:
"Mr. Packard, however, is playing
a dangerous game. The patience of
this people is well nigh exhausted
and if they are forced into conflict
which is calculated and designated to
rob them again of government of
their choice and the blessings of an
honest and efficient administration
their wrath will be difficult to restrain
and we for one, hope no hand will be
able to restrain it. If Mr.. Packard
forces this conflict we appeal to our
friends to spare, as final and COM
plete victory will permit the lives of
the Metropolitans and negro dupes.
We advise them to let the full weight
of their vengeance fall on the leaders
of this Ubiquitous, murderous and
most damnable scheme, and to follow
Packard into the hotel, and if needed
be into the Custom House, and hang
him from it's highest window"
