The inside history of the Niagara Falls Con-
ference, which our correspondent gives this
morning, furnishes an instructive illustration
of Mr.. Tilden's shrewdnesS as political man
ager The twist was one of the most per-
feet ever turned out at the Gramercy Park
establishment but it was applied so gently,
and with so many seeming apologies for its
defects, that even Tammany was beguiled
into a temporary belief that it was really hav-
ing It's own way in the operation. The ap-
parent surrender in the choice Of Syracuse is
shown to have been no surrender at all. SYRIA
cuse is no longer ruled by IN anti-Tllden
Mayor and its police cannot be counted upon
to hamper the cause of true Reform in case
of any Tammany disturbance III the COnven-
ton. Mr. Tilden has sent his agents over the
State to ascertain the sentiment of the party
on the question of TenOmmating Governor
Robinson, and if he is convinced by their re-
ports that it will be safe TO force Tammany
to crow banquet. he has the power to do it,
and Tammany will be obliged to partake.
None of the candidates for Governor are
making any canvass, for the excellent reason
that they would simply be wasting energy to
do so before MIR. Tilden has decided which of
them he prefers. Mr.. Dorsheimer has discov-
cred that lie has no chance for the nOmina-
tion-a conclusion which everybody else
reached without difficulty a month ago.

OF crockery to those purchasing certain quantity
of the fragrant herb. The retail crockerydealers,
not reshing this. have resolved 10 present pack
ages of tea to all buying their wares, proportional

crockery thus distributed be of good quality, SO
much the better for the customer who must not In
any case however, suppose that he gets his tea or
his crockery for nothing. When competition has
been carried TO the point of losing money, it usu-

A murderer equipped with disposition to
temporary insanity. three long-blaued knives
and two guns arrived in this country
Yesterday. He succeeded in killing the second
steward of the steamer during the voyage,
and as the vessel was an English one he will
be returned to that country for trial. We can
spare him.

Tewfk seems likely to be as tickle and self
minded Khedive as his dethroned father.
His dismissal Of the Ministry and appointment
of one composed of dOcile, obscure Pachas, is
a bold act of autOcratic power, and cannot
fail to excite the alarm of his European guar
dams. He has not learned yet that he was
placed in power to obey them rather than to
govern Egypt.

Senator Thurman, like all other Ohio Demo-
Gratis, is travelling about with two sets OF
opinions, sanguine one for the public ear
and respondent one for his party friends.
1t is entirely credible news that he talks
privately about the dismal outlook in Ohio,
and has little faith IN Ewing's success He
was sure in his recent public observations that
Ewing would be elected, because votes and not
opinions would count on election day. There
seem to be some Democrats in OHIO who are
not as willing as he would represent them TO
be to think one way and vote another. One
Democratic editor has turned his newspaper
against Ewing and in favor of Foster and
another Democrat has been heard to make the
sound remark that, having touched bottom on
financial matters, he was in favor of staying
there. lie evidently is not impressed with the
wisdom of Ewings plan for kicking the bot
tom out.

has not enthusiastic hopes for Ewing in Ohio,
hut seems to be deeply impressed with a
belief that Resumption has removed the
financial question from politics. 1t is natural
he should hope for this obliteration, for the
presence of that issue in politics has been one
of the greatest perplexities of his life.

The presence at COnstantinOple of an AL
banian deputation seeking for home rule for
their province must add to the perplexities
with which the Ottoman Government is now
beSet. The Albanians may justly claim that
they are as fairly entitled to self-govern-
ment as the Bulgarians and Roumelians, upon
whom the Porte has now only slight hold
but they must not linger at StambOul if
they would have their requests granted.
They must be prepared to fight for them as
resoutely as did the Greeks and Bulgarians.

The letter of our correspondent at Salt Lake
City which we print this morning, gives
succinct but satisfactory statement of the
actual condition of affairs, and of the
feeling between the Mormons and the
Gentiles. There is possibility Of
street fight and of riot, but we are
glad to observe that there is not likely to be
ANYTHING more. Resistance to the authority
of the Federal laws on the part of the Nor
mons might lead to disagreeabIe comphca-
tons, but it seems hardly probable that 1t
would be prolonged. The moment the Nor
mons resort to actual and organized violence,
their fate as an organized body is sealed.
Their position is one requiring the greatest
sef-command, and however strongly their
preachers may seem to advise treason, in the
DRY, they will hardly resort to it in practice.

Jersey City takes its turn to-day with
Revolutionary centennial celebration. The
capture of Paulus Hook does not occupy n
large space in the memory Of the average
American, yet 1t contained enough OF heroism
to make this commemOration patriotic ana
worthy. An entertaining account OF the ex-
plot is given elsewhere, and there is also fur
nished interesting facts concerning the early
history Of Jersey City, and striking account
of the precipitate manner In which patriot
was thrust upon the pages of history simply
because a bullet removed his nose.

Louisiana seems to be afflicted with an
aggravated form of the reputation epidemic
which is sweeping over the Solid South. Not
content with "wiping out " large portion
of the debt itself. it is proposed to cOnfscate
all the interest now on hand and to be col
lected up to January /. 1880, for use in pay
ing the ordinary expenses of the State. The
chivalrous SOuthrOns give this process the re-
spectacle name of RENTING" but in the
colder-blooded portions of the country the
harsher epithet of " stealing" will be pretty
unanimously substituted

All close observers of Southern politics must
agree with Ex-Governor Warmoth in his be-
lief that the Republicans cannot count on a
single electoral vote from the South in 1880.
The grip of the bulldOzer is so firm that
nothing but disastrous National defeat can
shake it OFF, for the South will only cease to
be solid when 1t is convinced that its solidity
Is powerful only for its own harm. Mr.. War
moth inhmates that as the Southern Republic
cans will not be able to assist in electing the
next Republican candidate for the Presidency,
they should be modest about insisting upon
making the nomination. There is wisdom in
that observation.

twenty five hundred are warriors Who'll
Iy nomsdic, they have no villages or
fixed habitstiOns, but roam and pIunder
eight to nine hundred miles from north
to south and seven hundred from east to
west. They own large herds of horses and
mules, obtaining horned cattle emily for
their immediate wants, because they can
not drive these as fast as they want to
move. All their animals are procured
by robbing the Mexicans and Americans,
and all their wars are undertaken more
for plumber OF this sort than for any
other purpose. They never take men
prisoners, though they kill and scalp
them; but they carry off women and
children make wives of the former, and
rear up the latter as their own. They
have never had any permanent places Of
abode, as the absence of all mounds or
tumuh in the territory they range over
clearly proves. They seem to have been
born on horseback, where they do all
their fighting, and in attacking trains
they always endeavOr to stampede the
animals by. cries and war-whoops-a
stampede rendering destruction of a
train almost certain. If they attack a
village, they kill every body thew encOun-
ter and then drive off the stock The chiefs
OF these Indians do not inherit their
authority, but acquire it by superior
knowledge, personal bravery, or success

justed by q council OF chiefs and seniors
of the lodges; but these disagreements
are few. and family feuds are rare. In
deed they live together more harmon
iously than many civilized people do.
OF law they have no notion, nor have
tnev any conceplionNot national policy.
They never observe treaties any longer
than sslt-interest prompts, IN which they
resemble most enlightened peoples. Their
religious ideas are very crude and indeti-
mite. In an evil spirit they do not be-
lieve, bat ascribe both good and evil to
the good spirit. Their conception of e
future lite is ind.sCiact; but they hold
that men who have stolen the most

have the best chance of hsppy hunting

obsecvances. Ties OF kindred are very
strong, and extend not only to relatives
By blood, put by marriage. Ofenses
against any member of family are aven-
ged by all or any one connected with it.
They are polygsmists, some chiefs hav-
ing ten or twelve wives. Inhdeiity on
the part of wife is punished by cutting
off the nose, and the seducer Is obliged to
give up his available property to the in~
jured woman. The husband exercises
absolute dominion over the wife, who
does all the work while he fights and steals.
Going into fight they divest themselves
of every thing except their breech cloth
and leggings. They call themselves Natini,
meaning live, or first-alive people.

The following little story is touching
one. and the hero thereof is well known
Young gentleman of this city. He has
been somewhat wild in his habits in the
past, out for four months he has alb
stained from drink and spent his evenings
at home. One evening, three weeks ago,
he went out calling, and some one gave
him glass o. wine. This aroused the
sleeping tiend, and he went off on a
grand carouse. For three Gays he lost
mastery over himself, and scarcely knew
where he was. On the morning of the
fourth day he was paratively sobered
up. He wandered into the reading room
OF one of our hotels, where he was well
known, snd sat down and stared moodily
into the street. Presently little girl
OF about tee years came IN and looked
timidly sround the room. She was
dressed in rags, but she had sweet, ln>
telligent face that could scarcely fail to
excite sympathy. There were FIVE per-
sons in The room, and she went to each
begging. Ore gentleman gave her five
cent piece, and she then went to the
gentleman spoken OF and asked him for
a peunv, adding, Il haven't had any
thing 10 eat for q whole day" The geLs
tleman WAS all out OF numor, and he
said Grossly, "Don't bother me 90 away .
| haven't had anything to eat Tor thee

bread. Perhaps can get some more
somewhere" The young fellow blushed
TO the roots of his hair, and lifting the
miniature sister of charity in his arms,
ne kissed her two or three times in de-
light. Then he took her to the persons
in the room and to those in the corridors
and the office, and told the story and
ssked contributions, giving himself all

changes which wIil be considered at a
general meeting. The by laws are amen
ded so as to make the hours of business
from ten o'clock in the morning to three

day, when the exchange is to be closed
at two o'clock in the afternoon. After
the closing hour, all business. except that
relating to the transfer of notices and
orders, and the delivery of cotton sold
on contract, is strictly prohibited, and
any member breaking the rule shall be
fined not less than twenty FIVE dollars
nor more than one hundred dollars, or
he may be suspended. Amy contract
made after hours shall be deemed invalid.
A new rnle is added which provides that
six wire bands or ropes, not exceeding
twelve pounds in the aggregate, shall be
considered sufficient for each bale OF cot
ton. Anything above that weight is to
be removed before weighing, or proper
allowance made. The usual side pieces
