Yesterday was a bad day for carriages,
and not very good day for cutters,
hut those which did appear seemed de-
sirous of getting along at the rate of a
mile q minute. A milkwoman who
had come out on runners was crossing
the circus parks at speed of two
miles an hour, when policeman called
out:
BE careful-don't break the fast

She halted, beckoned him nearer, and
replied:

4 HOmeSick Horse.

1t is not generally known, perhaps.
that horses are susceptible to homesick-
ness as well rs human beings. An illus
tration of this fact was afforded recently,
when a gentleman of this city took his
horse to Newport. During the two days
they remained, the horse seemed de-
jected and spiritless, hardly reviving
even in the presence of its master, and
would not eat anything during their
sojourn. On returning home, however,
and being installed in its favorite stall,
the animals spirits and appetite re-
turned together, and it ate almost inor-
dinately-Nee Bedford Mercury.

Shade Of John Phoenix, but that is a moving pic
ture which comes to us from Saratogal How the
soul of the merry squbob must rejoice if it is per-
mitted to look down upon Mr.. Tilden as he moves
about with measured tread and slow, one eye liked
upon his beloved pedOmeter and the other upon
Thurman and HendFicksl There has been nothing
like il since Phoenix fastened his "GOitOmeter" to
the leg of of his assistants in that San Francisco
survey 1t will be remembered that that historic
occasion the instrument worked with commendable
accuracy until its wearer became exhilarated by
frequent rotations of beer, and was induced
to execute a clog dance and indulge IN
other feats of nmblenesss. Then the "GOitometer"
came ont in full glory and registered an enormous
distance as the result of few hours travel vi
course so sedate perst as Mr. Tilden will never
put the pedOmeter to crucial a test as this, but
there are other agencies than beer which produce
active notion Thus no one will be surprised that
Mr.. Tilden travelled much further each day at Long
Branch than he has at Saratoga. He was at the
former place when he discovered the dsreputabe
performances those wicked partners, Marble and
PeltOn, had been committing in the sacred name OF
REFORM and the pedOmeter only did its duty II II
registered o greatly accelerated motion. In all
probability the machinery of the sensitive little
instrument became actually hot every day, about
half an hour after the receipt of the morning papers.

TILE nREGON Else.

Somebody who did not share the general
curiosity about the secret dispatches of the
electoral campaign, asked the other day If Mr..
1Ilden was still running for the Presidency,
and if the election of 1876 was still pending,
that the newspapers should occupy themselves
80 much with the history OF the past. Mr.. Tiiden
we believe is still running. As for the last
Presidential campaign, that was supposed,
uatil lately, to be forever settled. But MIR.
SIilden's partisans have seen fit to reopen
that issue. They are trying the old case
over again. They set out with the
determination 70 reverse, if they could,
the decision of the popular ballot
and of the two houses of Congress- and to
yitiate the title of President Hayes by show
ing that he secured his place by frauds in
certain of the doubtful States. They
have not succeeded in this undertaking ;
but rather than the inquiry should be
altogether fruitless, we have volunteered
to show that frauds were attempted in order
to secure various States for Nj. Iilden, and
that in the State of Oregon especially, which
WAS not mt all doubtful but cOnfessedly Re-
to purchase an electoral vote that would
have made Mr.. Tilden President.
The Democratic party, therefore, having
invited the country to review the campaign
of 1876, and having failed to discover any
fresh scandals at the South, we propose that
they shall go to the Northwest, where there
ia at least something positive TO talk about.
And we present accordingly the first full and
carefully digested documentary history of the
Oregon case that has ever been printed. The
publication of two or three cipher dispatches
between Patrick and PeltOn, last year,
left the case of attempted bribery so black
that no later disclosures can make it much
blaclIer. But great many details are now
added to it. We have gone through an im-
mense pile of kilograms relating to this affair.
We have got at the meaning of many which
have never been deciphered before. We have
corrected numerous errors, and supplied some
omissions in the messages already printed f;
and selecting all that appear to be important
from among the hundreds III our possession,
we have placed them for the first time
in their proper order, so that question
and answer, the temptation and the crime,
arc seen at once in their proper context.
Many of our readers will be surprised to find
how PLAIN story the kilograms thus tell,
without the aid of any explanatory comment.
Some of the persons implicated in these
transactions have asked the world to believe
that whatever improper suggestions may have
been made by the bad man Patrick, the only
purpose for which money was really raised was
the payment of counsel fees and other
legitimate expenses. The dispatches now newly
deciphered utterly overthrow this plea. Proba-
bly, nobody believed in it before. Certainly
nobody will believe in it now when Colonel
Pelton, in transmitting eight thousand dollars
to Patrick according to his request" uses this
frank language: Understand not to be used
New-York tribune. [volume] (New York [N.Y.]) 1866-1924, 1878-09-04

"unless they carry out arrangement recognize
democratic electOr and duly forward his vote
"to Vice-President." Nobody will believe 1t
when Patrick assures Gramerey Park that
this money twill secure Democratic vote"
And it requires enormous credullty
to believe that when, as the hour for
the meeting drew near, Pelton telegraphed to
bis agent in Oregon, els your matter certain
"There must be no mistake all depends on
"you;" and again, "DO not fail; all
" important and Patrick exclaimed, by
electric wire, "Let no technicality prevent
winning; and asked in another dispatch,
"Will programme be carried out P-When
Kelly promised that "Yier" (whOever or
whatever that may be) should "nOt fall" and
there was a fraptic cry all along the line from
Gramercy Park to San Francisco for prompt
"action,"-it requires we say enormous
credulity to believe that all this excitement
was about the payment of counsel fee to
some obscure Oregon lawyer. If any OF the
actors in this rascally transaction had shred
of character left after the investigation OF
last year, it has now been stripped OFF.
