The "Happy Family" mt Albany.

The "Happy Family" mt Albany.
Both political parties in this State have
strayed from the counsels Of the wise. The
good DR.. Watts in his Hymns for Infant
Minds" said very prettily that birds in
their little nests agree, and 'tis a shameful
sight when children of one family fall out
and chide and fight But the moral gar
ments of infancy, like the delicate textures
in which fond and tasteful mothers array the
bodies of their little darlings, are not very
well adapted to the rough and tumble of
adult life. In politics, at least, the fact that
men belong to the same party is no guar
antee that they will not peck out each
others eyes, which birds in their little nests
never do. Mr.. Conkling and Mr.. Curtis
are children of one political family; but
Conkling would find himself more COM
Portable with Bob Toombs and Curtis with
Mr.. Pendleton than these two estimable re-
publican gentlemen can ever be in each
others company. And there is as little SYM
pathy between the "olds" and the 'news"-
to adopt the current slang at Albany
as there is between Mr.. Conkling and Mr..
Curtis. People who do not know that such
fierce hatreds between leading men of the
same political party is nm old and very COM
mon story might imagine that the time has
come for general breakup and reconstruc-
ton of parties when they behold SO much
intestine dissension in both political organ
izations. But Conkling and Curtis do
not dislike each other more than
Hamilton disliked Adams, than Jeffer-
son detested Burr. than Jackson hated
Calhoun, or than Grant disliked Sumner
Conkling and Blaine have not been on
speaking terms in ten years, and yet both
shave thought the same things concerning
the Republic" It will not do to predict
anything about the permanence OF parties
from the fact that ambitious members who
stand in each others light hate rivals in
their own party with more vindictive in
tensity than they do the most aggressive
leaders of the opposition. The quarrel
between the champions Of the old
and q new ticket at Albany is ut
tended with no more real danger to
the democratic party than Mr.. Coxs
aspersions of Mr.. Randall, whom he is try
Speakership. Such rivalries and such en-
mites, growing out of personal rivalry,
are among the commonest incidents Of party
history. They only prove that, in the esti-
nation Of the competitors, their party
has SO much vitality that it's honors are
worth seeking at considerable expense Of
effort and temper. Whether Mr.. Bigelow
and Mr.. Fairchild are nominated
for reelection or not will make no
difference in the zeal with which the demo-
Gratis Of this State will prosecute their cam
paign. The party feels strong in conse-
quence Of its victories in the last three
elections. Its candidates have no doubt
that nomination by the Albany Conven-
ton is equivalent to on election. Instead
of going a-begging, like the republican
nominations at Rochester, they are thought
worth scheming for and fighting for; which
is, on the whole, sign of party health and

place this afternoon, and, as will be seen in other
columns, the programme gives assurance that
the events Of the day likely to be Of more
than ordinary interest and excitement. New
York Is not easily satisfied in the matter Of
racing any more than in other things. What
Is offered TO it, especially in the way
amusement, must be the best of its kind.

many of the best and most well known favorites
OF the turf All that wise and cntcrprsing man
agemcnt could do to make the meeting success

CaaSiuR M. ClnY.

Mr.. Clay, who shot negro near Rich
mond, KY, last Sunday, was oneof the early
abolitionists, and as he lived in Kentucky
he had reason to be an extremely resolute
man. If the negro thief whom he shot had
known much about him he would not have
ventured to attack him. 1t seems that the
negro hid from Clay with the probable pur-
pose Of lying in wait for him; Clay got off
his horse, walked up to the man, told him
to fling up his hands, which he did; and
after giving him lecture, on his course
told him to remain where he was without
moving until he, Clay. should get into his
saddle again. This he promised, but as
soon as Mr. Clay's back was turned made
for him, whereupon he was shot down.
Cassius M. Clay was once very thoroughly
hated in Kentucky but at the same time
universally respected as an utterly brave
and honorable man, with whom it was not
we'll to trife. In the old abolition days it
happened once that Methodist preacher,
q weakly man in poor health, thought it his
duty to deliver an anti-slavery address in
the heart of Kentucky The intention was
announced, the day and place being widely
advertised but the minister received
prompt notice from citizens that he would
not be allowed to speak, and accordingly
did not attempt to do SO. Clay was in Ohio
when he heard Of the circumstance /; he re-
turned at once to Kentucky, gave notice
that on a set day, at the same place, the
preacher would deliver his anti-slavery
address and that Colonel Cassius NJ Clay
would be there to preside and keep
order. A great meeting assembled in the
open air and there were symptoms of vio-
lence, when Mr. Clay arose and explained
that he meant to see that the brother had
ON opportunity to speak. He warned those
who did not want to hear him to go off;
''but," said he, "this brother is going to de-
liver his address, and tho first man who
interrupts him will have to deal with me. y
The speech was made without interruption
the Kentucky admiration for Clay's courage
overcoming the propensity to hang an
abolitionist, and the roughs in the crowd
knowing very well that if Clay said he would
shoot he was certain to do it. That is what
the negro thief ought also to have known

still higher position he occupied in the esti-
nation of his country as one OF the bravest
and most chivalrous of the fighting soldiers
of the army. His funeral should be honored
not by the government alone, but by the
people, for whose benefit his life was
heroically surrendered. 1t is not altogether
in the spirit of mourning that these obse-
quies should be celebrated, for time, which

to lie idle in the Treasury with
loss of interest and then bs suddenly
paid out in exchange for greenbacks
would be more prudent and economical to
fund the greenbacks directly into bonds
than to ''go round Robin Hoods barn" by
first selling the bonds for gold and disturb
ing the gold market, then boarding the gold
for a long period and at last paying it out
tor the same greenbacks that might have
been more easily retired by direct ex-
change for the bonds without all the trouble
and disturbance Of the money market which
would attend the other process. Although
the four per cent bonds cannot be sold for
gold q sufficient amount OF them could
probably be sold for greenbacks to bring the
latter to par long before the end of next
year. A moderate stock Of gold would then
suffice for redeeming the few that would be
offered. If Congress adopts this proposed
recommendation Of the Secretary Of the
Treasury it should also make explicit pro-
vision for the immediate destruction of the
retired greenbacks and prevent their return
to circulation. The free banking law will
give the country all the currency it needs,
since it is the interest Of the banks to fur
nish all the notes which can be maintained
at par. The mortifying collapse Of Mr..
Sherman's first experiment should make
