1.-THE NIGHT OF DESPOTISM.'


The powerful utterances of an orator named
Gallagher, from New-Haven, Conn.,, at the
Irving Hall meeting of the Tilden- Rob-
inson Democracy ON Saturday night, were
calculated to excite, in the breasts
of the timd, vague and mysterious
apprehensons of impending calamity.
He said that if the Democracy should
close their standard bearer "-by which
it is understood he meant if Robinson
should be defeated" the night of despotism
would cast its shadow over the Empire
State" He said 1t IN such an earnest
and impressive way, as though l" the night
of despotism chad begun to pull itself to-
gether oyer in Connecticut already, and he
had come in on the dead run just ahead of
the shadow to tell people to get out of
the way of it, that many persons got
I'D and went right out of the meeting,
for the purpose, it is supposed, of laying
in stock of candles large enough to last
through. Mlny others thought seriously of
following, but, being treasured by the applause
and other demonstrations of approval by Demo-
Gratis on the platform, made up their minds
that there was no immediate occasion for
alarm, aud believing that they could stand
1.-The night of despotism as long as any of
the fellows on the platform could, stayed
till the show. was out. The orator
also said that Liberty was on trial.
aud that that was the reason why
Sherman, Evarts and Blame had hurried
"here to divert the attention of the people
L" from the real issues of the hour" which
was another statement calculated not only to
excite earnest curiosity, but to awaken serious
alarm. This sentiment. or statement, or
proclamation, whatever it was, was received
likewise with bOister0us applause. Not, we
presume, because of the fact that Liberty is
on trial, and these hirelngs are trying to divert
attention from it, but probably because Gala
CHER had heard of it in time to get here with
the news ahead of everybody three days before
the election.
Now it has been suspected in various quar-
tiers for some time that Liberty was on trial
in this election. Indeed. it is believed by
some that Liberty is more or less on trial in
every election. They put the question to the
people over in Connecticut the other day,
whether, as Liberty was getting a good deal
tagged and bedraggled with annual trials,
it wouldn't be well to let her have
rest, and try her only every other year. But
the people rose up and wouldn't listen to it.
They said if they didn't put Liberty on trial
every year great many active politicians
would be out of work, and the food OF miscel-
laneous slack-jaw which now expends itself in
that direction would be turned in on the home
circle. to the humiliation of domestic peace and
the devastation of whole neighborhoods. SO
they keep trying her every year. Here iu

what would happen to Liberty IL the
New-York Democracy should he diverted

skin the island, and that "the night OF des-

that the Democracy of the city could not see

into the Treasury.
But we hasten to assure the timid that
There is really no danger, and that if any
body desires to vote against Governor hoD-
inson he need not be deferred rom
il by fears of "the shadow OF the
might of despotism." We have made
inquiries about Gallagher. For when
man comes here and talks as though he had

the line say in Greenwich, and threatens 10
let it out on us if we don't vote as he says
il is proper we should know something
about him. We find that he isn't at all
dangerous. He is rapid talker and Wild
eesticulator on the platform, and sometimes
gets so carried away by the torrent OF bis own
discourse that he seems absolutely bloody
minded But his neighbors say: " Bless you, he
" wouldn't hurt n fly ~ He is i'll the habit OF
running for things in Observation-Disclosures OF
Congress, Mayor, State Senator, any little
thing that's lying round l0ose-and he
always talks as though " the night OF
"despOtism,' or something worse, would
be turned on full head i'll less than two
minutes If he should be defeated. But he has
been defeated great many times, and
nothing of the sort has happened yet.
SO that Connecticut people have quite
got over the habit of looking over their Shout

readers, as the result of our inquiries
about Gallagher, that there is no occa-

wouldn't let it loose if lie had it in a

1t was no doubt great disappointment to
Mr.. Tilden that his broker WAS unable to
recollect what stock transactions he had man
aged for that gentleman during the period
covered by the income tax suit and was also
unable TO see the piopricty of refreshing his
memory by an examination OF his books.
What Mr.. Tilden wants is the truth and be
wants it now. An election will he held to-
day in which Mr.. Tilden, though not for
mally candidate, is really about to submit
to the suffrages of his fellow citizens his
claims to the Presidency of the United States
and any body can see that as Il man of honor
and prudent politician he must have been
anxious for the immediate refutation of a
charge affecting at once his integrity and his
patriotism. Few things could be more un-
pleasant to "A Perpetual Presidential Pretender
than to have it alleged, or even suspected
that he had cheated the Government out of
his just share of a tax imposed TO pay for the
suppression of the Rebellion, and that while
rolling in wealth he has shifted his own
burdens upon his poorer neighbOrs. Yet a
suit to recover taxes fraudulenty withheld
places him IN just that compromising position
and he can only set himself right by making
