the indictments. The District At
torney wanted to have some ar.
rangement by which he could ar
que the case once for all, without
taking them up in detail. The
matter was finally set for to-mor'

siderable sensation, as a number O
interesting cases came before the

stiu sGuabbiing over tho Result.
NEW YORK, Nov. 1O.-The Times

"Ansth 4" Brnt Grans.''
NEW YORK, Nov. 10.-The Sun
says, in its leading article: The
elections which have just taken
place in several States show con-
clusively such an augmentation of
Republican strength as to render
it altogether probable that the Re-
publicans will be able to elect their
candidate for President next year.
The election of President for o
third time would be an innovation
on the custom of the country estab-
lished by the revolutionary fathers
ian innovation of O most alarm
ing character, and menacing the
overthrow of our free institutions
and the establishment of monar-
chy. "Anybody, everybody, against
Grant," is the motto of true and
enlightened patriots.
A Tnsrd Party Threatened.
NEW YORK, Nov. 10.-The World
says: The Tammany machine has
been shattered in this city. The
Tilden machine has been shattered.
The Republicans of New York, on
the contrary, have come out Of the
contest of 1878 handicapped with
the Conkling machine, which may,
and probably will be strong enough
to impose Grant on New York Re-
publicans as their Presidential can
didate in 1880. Were the Demo-
cratic party in 1880 to put ma
chine candidate like Tilden, and the
Republican party to put a machine
candidate like Grant in the field, a
third party, representing tho con-
servative common sense of ma
jority of this people, would newt
ably come to the front.
That Mexican ssOry Discredited.
NEW YORK, Nov. 10.-The Sun
has the following: A dispatch from
California states that the agent of
certain Mexicans who are plotting
to overthrow the Government OF
President dag, is trying to entice
American capitalists to aid revo-
lutionary schemes. The promises
are glowing and tempting, and, II
fulfilled, would practically turn
over the control of Mexican
finances, including the issue OF
money, lands, railway and tele'
graph lines to favored individuals,
f 1t is not likely, however, that any
, sensible capitalist will be induced
, to invest on the strength of this
r golden representation Of future re
ward. No nation, nat even the
{ Chinese, are more Jealous of for
eign Intervention than the mass o.
. the Mexican people, and no Gov
. ernment which would grant any
: such extensive and exclusive pow
. ers to foreigners as those above al
y luded to, could exist for week.
