What Of New York 2

The nearer the 4th Of November APP
proaches the more apparent il becomes
that John Kelley has largely mistak.
en- the temper Of the New York
Democrats. His assumption of SUI
preme authority III the counscls of the
party has been met by such n dignif-
ed and earnest protest from the rank
and file, that it has almost, if not al
together, stranded him on the shore Of
blasted political hopes. Gov. Robin
son has been so steadily and surely
winning his way TO the hearts Of the
people, without regard to party, that
lSs election, which was at one time in
in doubt, il now assured. The shame
ful and disgraceful iidson of Kelley
and Cornell has borne the illegitimatc
fruit which is always the result Of such
unhallowed political connections. De
cent Republicans have already discov-
cd that the fight between Cornell and
Kelley on the one side, and Robinson
upon the other, has simply resolved
itsclf. into disreputable scramble
for the spoils Of Office upon the part Of
Kelley and Cornell, aud they see like
wise that Gov. Robinson is conducting
his canvass purely upon the economi-
cal and frugal record he has made
since he has been in the Executive
chair Of the State. That record stands
out in bold relief against the dark and
unsavory administration of the gov
ernment Of the State while under the
domination of the Republican party.
Altogether the outlook in New York
Is cheering. and il is almost certain
that Tammany's imperious chief will
be ground TO powder between the up.
per and neither mill stones Of the peo-
pies wrath, while Conkling's puppct
will go down beneath the withering
scorn of an enlightened public senti-
ment.

started in the previous June by Messrs.

ES BRITISH CAPITAL OOAiNo.-Ape
New York Sun says: "In the course
of tie next FIVE years vast amount OF
British capital will find its way to this
country, where branches of English
business houses will be established, while
in many cases the main business will be
transferred here. We may see this to-
day in New York, where shops are con-
stantly being established by English
men. The great dry goods houses are
largely represented by them. The Eng
lish capitalist, feeling an absolute Sc
curity in our public finances, will more
and more pour those boards which he
is a, his wits erd 10 know how TO in
vest into associations conducted by his
own countrymen here, and the benefit
will accrue to both countries. The
present trouble in England will thas
tend to bind even closer the commercial
interests of the two countries. Eng
lishmen already own large possessions
in the West, and every year will see
the number OF such proprietors increase.
Within very few years there will be
a daily mail steamer to England"

ground on Thursday night, and his
granddaughter and a boy about ten
years of age were burned to death. The
fire, which was IN full blast when dis
covered, cut off the escape OF those who
were sleeping up stairs, and forced his
daughter aud granddaughter to Jump
from a window. The clothing of the
first catching upon something broke her
descent, and she escaped without much
injury. The clothing OF the grand
daughter being on fire, she ran some
distance to a neighbois, where the
flames were extinguiShed. Her injuries
were SO great that she died from them
on the Saturday following. The boy
was burned to death in the house. Mr..
Riddle and his wife only escaped by
reason of their sleeping down stairs.
