STILL ANOTHER HOPE.

10 one Of the Republican Electors of Yer.
mont, and once more throw Democratic
elector In the breech. In CRoNtN they
failed; in ALDRrcH they hope to tri.
umph. ALDRIcH is the man who received
the next highest number OF votes after
counting the Republican Electors, aud,
claiming the ineligibility of one of the lat.
ter, he has come to the rescue. Immortal
ALDRIcH On Wednesday, December O,
when the Electoral College of Vermont
was about to commence business, he an
nounced, in person, that he would like to
take part In the deliberations, but the Col
lege refused his preposterous request,
whereupon he straightway protested, and
resolved himself into committee of one,
with full powers to create an Electoral
College in the interests Of reform" "Who
does not" said the Albany Jour.
nal about that time, "see ALDRIcH
calling ALDRICH to order, and nominating q
ALDRIcH as President Of the College. AL.
DRIcH puts the motion, and ALDRIcH is de-
clsred by ALDRIcH to be unanimously
elected. Then ALDRIcH appoints Al.
DRICH . committee of two to conduct AL.
DRIoH to the chair, aud ALDRICH, getting
to the chair, thanks ALDRIcH for the honor
he has conferred upon ALDRIcH In calling
upon him to preside over the deliberations
Of ALDRTcH. Then ALDRIcH announces
that II there Is no objection ALDRIoH will
act as Secretary, and that he will appoint
ALDRIcH two tcllers to count the vote Of
ALDRICH. Then. while ALDRIcH Is
preparing his ballot, ALDRIcH announces
that he Is sure that ALDRICH would be glad
10 hear the views Of ALDRIcH in regard
to the political situation, and there.
upon ALDRIcH, amid loud applause
from ALDRICH, remarks that he
thinks that bull.dozlng in Louisiana
was not an outrage, but that 1t was an out
rage for Messrs. CHANDLER and MCCoR.
MICK to act - officers of the Republican
National Committee. Atthe conclusion OF
ALDRIcH's address ALDRIcH Is heartily
congratulated by ALDRIcH, after which
ALDRICH proceeds to vote. ALDRICH in
his character of two tellers, having ,u-
vassed the vote, ALDRIcH announce. that
the vote Of ALDRIcH has been unanimously
cast for TILDEN and HENDRICKS. AL.
DRICH then moves vote of thanks to AL,
pRIcH for the able. urbane, prompt and
parlis mentary manner in which he has
presided over the deliberations of ALDRIcH
Then ALDRIoH signs the certificate, ap
points ALDRiCH messenger, and adjourns
ALDRIoH sine die. Ofcourse, in the even,
ing ALDRIcH handsomely entertains AL.
DRICH at ALDRICH's mansion, drinking his
health, and shaking his hand countless
times"
You may marshal words and phrase,
every way, but they cannot over:state this
brilliant accomplishment of ALpRIcH.
CRoSIN was assisted by his nose by Senator
KELLY and by PELToN, while ALDRICH
fought this battle single. handed. and with
what he believed to be single eye to justice
and renown. Where is the American We
therefore ask who Is not willing to uncover
and salute this humble Vermouter, who
rising from coachman to an Electoral
College, now stands before the gaze of the
nation with the hopes of the Democracy
heavily resting UPON him.
LET US spare u moment to the inspection O
fame's latest darling. CRoNIS is gone, th,
noise Of the cypher kilograms is hushed, aut
now comes CATE, of Wisconsin. But yester
day morning he was an obscure politician, al
humble member Of the House, and Of NJ
especial consequence to speak Of. Even a
the young and frisky calf would fain break
loose from the tether that marks its hind lie!
as Its own, and scamper over field and dale
so would CATI, Of Wisconsin. As the frisk,
calf sometimes rends the cord that binds, AM
forthwith "gits," so has CATE broken tn,
tethers of untoward circumstances that hereto
fore bound him in security, and rushing fortl
to the fields of public notoriety, has overspreaS
himself. Forgetting reason, and rising In th
heat of passion above proprIety, he yesterda,
took upon himself the grave responsibility o
shaking his nst under Mr.. HEwITT's nose
and calling his counsels cowardice, while b
was couBselling peace.
SEVERAL anonymous letters were recelve
yesterday through the northern malls by head
of the departments, threatening the life O
Justice BRADLEY. One of them stated "a
God is good, Justice eternal, the mountain
firm, and the heayens high, that man BRAD
LEY will not live TO see the ID OF March.
