rs CAUCUS. TO BE KINGs5

When the Democracy of this city. elected
Councilmen to their present position there
was an honestly implied condition that they
would carry out the political wishesof the
people. In tae dark recess Of aSaucus they
sneered at the popular win and named q
Republican for the pace Of physician to the
municipal hospital. Does any one of these
gentlemen fatter themselves that they
would have received the votes Of the Demo.
cracy If they had expressed an intention Of
electing lifelong enemy of the party to q
place in their gift's Let them hug no such
fancy. They we'll know that they could not
come within sight of nomina tion. They
are in power, and by their action they
laugh at the people as poor fools who are
unable to help themselves. 1t is pleaded in
bar that Dr.. shortlidge voted for John ALL
mond. Does that make him Democrat
By no means. If that were the test, every
cunning official whose love of Office was
stronger than his political conviction would
watch the current of events, and by q skill
full change Of vote retain his place.
The test to be applied to the doctor is
very simple. He was at the time Of the
caucus Republican Office holder, and as
such was politically ineligible to be consid-
cred by Democratic caucus. We have no
purpose to forward. 1t is personally all
like to usS who is elected to the place;
but we are anxious that justice and fair
play will direct the policy of our Council
men, 90 that they may retain the confidence
and respect Of their constituents I (
When caucus violates the very elemen-
tary principles Of party its decision is not
binding, and bolt is an evidence of courage
and political honesty. "A bolt from the
G .ucus nominee can only result In the elec-
tion Of some other Republican, hence it can.
not be censured as movement to defeat .

enough to stand by his principles, aad refuse

q. s. Grant, 81.

To the Editor of the Mev York Sun
SIR: Conspicuous by its absence in the
long list of contributors to the yellow
fever fund is The name of our illustrious
e1-President, Gen. Grant; and although
in common with large majority of this
communicated and poor, widow and
orphan-I have already given what I
felt that I could afford, rather than that
a name destined to be handed down to
posterity for untold ages should fail to
appear on record in aid of such cause,
herewith inclose one dollar, with the
request that it may be credited to Gen.
Grant as his subscription to the above
named fund.
For my present action in this matter
there is ample, precedent, large sums
having been contributed for other worthy
purposes in Gen. Grants name by GER
tain of his wealthy admirers. 1t is but
fair to add that the generosity of these
gentlemen was not allowed to pass unre-
warded, having been invariably compen-
sated by Offices of honor and emolument.

In His Own Tomb.

About fifteen years ago the late Will
liam Niblo, of Niblo's Garden, built a
handsome tomb in Greenwood Cemetery.
He expended great deal of money upon
it, and it naturally became one of the
attractions of that pensive resort
Among the eccentricities of that veteran
manager was that of visiting this tomb
on sultry Summer afternoons and sitting
there, novel in hand, until the shadowing
of the grand path before the door showed
him that evening was near. One day
Mr.. Niblo passed through the lodge gate
as usual, saluted the attendant in his Gus
tomary courtly style and wandered away.
That night Mr.. Niblo did not return to
his home in New York. Nothing was
thought of it, as he had such number
of friends whom he might visit and re-
main until late. But when the morning
showed the room unoccupied and the bed
undisturbed, then alarm seized the house
hold. Search was made, the clubs, places
of public resort, the theatres, all were
visited. He had not been seen there the
night previous. Then one remembered
the visits to the Greenwood tomb. When
those who were searching for William
Niblo reached the gate of the cemetery
they were met by the man in charge.
He remembered that Mr.. Niblo had been
there so many days before that it had
become custom. "What was the mat
ter? Mr.. Niblo lost? Come to think of
it, didn't see him 60 out of here when
I locked up. He must be in the tomb"
The tomb has an ornamental door letinto
the solid round surroundings. 1t is mas
sive, thick, uninviting, and seems just
the aperture for a perpetual home of the
dead. Beyond it is an airy apartment,
in which the sunlight filters. When
Mr.. Niblo entered his favorite resting
place that summer afternoon, he sat in
his accustomed seat, opened his book and
fell to reading. The wind rose, the vault
was filled with air until propulsive force
was generated, and then suddenly there
came short, sharp click, with semi
darkness after it. Mr.. Niblo was shut
in. The vault door had sprung to. He
was found sitting composed in the tomb,
and by no means so much agitated as
were any one of those who were looking
for him. He explained the accident, his
shrieks for assistance, and then his re-
lapse into calm and philosophical con-
sideration of the circumstances. He
knew that no one could hear him call,
but he felt that the active brains of his
friends would seek him out, and that
sooner or later would be liberated.

says: He resides in Greenville, S. c.,
and is by occupation a Special Deputy

that during the year 1872 he held the
office of United States Commissioner and
resided in Union County, S. c., and at

spiracy, &c., under what was commonly
known as the Klu Klux act. For the

Major Merrill that a claim would be
