in haste in denouncing Representative
| Williams for Introducing the Avondale
Graveyard Bill. 1t did not close up that
burial place, but left it to the local Health
Officer 10 determine whether, for sanitary
or other sufficient public reasons it should
be closed up. When the Representative
heard of the oppositi it excited, he was
instrumental in getting Senator Kirby
to move reconsideration in the Senate
Mr.. Tilden is reported by New York
correspondent as a candidate if either
Grant or Blaine is nominated, but will
not run against HAYES, Sherman, Wash
burne or Edmunds. He relies on the Ger
mans for refusing to vote for either Grant
or Blaine.-The Republican State Conven-
tions OF Iowa, Kentucky and Missouri will
be held to-day, and that of Massachusetts,
tomorrow. In Iowa Blaine has the inside
track, though the Convention NAV not in
struct. Missouri will probably go for
Grant. A good deal f interest is felt in
the action of Massachusetts,; but all the
indications are that the anti Grant del
egates will control the Convention by a
decided maj rity. The energy of the ma
chine has not been felt there.-The Ken
tucky Republican State Convention will
be held in Louisville, to-day. The third
termers claim majority of the delegates,
and are bent on instructions for Grant un-
der the unrepublican unit rule. 1t is pos
sible the Sherman and Blaine delegates,
br working together may defeat this de-
sign; and If they succeed, it will mean the
defeat OF the third-term project at Chicago.
The Enquirer says: The Democrats of the
State of New York owe duty to the Ma
tional Democracy. They owe the same
duty to themselves; but With that obliga-
ton We do not care to. meddle, and for its
| performance, SO far as the Democrats OF
that State are concerned, the Democrats of
| the other thirty-seven States care cOmpara-
lively little. The chief peril that confronts
the National Democratic party In this i'm
pUrtant Presidential year is notorious, vi
cious Democratic quarrel in New York. The
New York Democrats owe it to the party
in the Union to settle this quarrel at home.
They have no business to obtrude this fac
tional fight upon the notice and the po-
litical. fortunes Of the Democratic party in
the thirty-eight States. They have no
right, in political ethics, to bring that
petty strife to the Cincinnati Convention
for adjustment. 1t matters little how the
difficulty is settled, but let it be settled,
and in New York, prior to the meeting OF
the Cincinnati Convention. Tam
many Hall could be wiped out of exist
ence and the National oemocratic
party would continue business
at the old stand. Mr.. Tilden might die,
and the great Democratic organization,
which has survived the death of many
great men, would continue to exist. If
the State were Rhode Island, instead of
New York, the Democratic party could
afford to take up the quarrel, or not to
take it up, to settle the wrangle in
favor OF one faction or in favor
of the other, or to ignore either of
the wings, without suffering detriment
But New York is a great State, and
the responsibility of the Democracy
of that State is correspondingly
great. The party is substantially
harmonious, with the exception of tho feud
in New York. If the Empire State would
retain its empire and make easy the success
of the Democracy, it will harmonize itself
before tie 22d Of June.-The size Of Mr..
Groesbeck's boom in the Republican papers
is attracting good deal of attention. The
Republican managers who insisted that the
Legislature should accomplish all there was
to do in thirty days have the satisfaction ot
knowing that, while it has been in session
one hundred days, it has only done about
thirty days work.
The Gazette says: The Postofice Depart
ment has for some time been running fast
mails from New York to different points,
and when these were put on, Cincinnati
publishers asked for an early train from
this city to indianapolis. This was desired
for the reason that Indianapolis is an i'm
portant railroad center, from which trains
| ut 10 o,,I ON Id a.
old arrangement the trains leaving this
city missed those connections. Conse.
ouently the transmission of Cincinnati
mail was DELAYED substantially whole
day. Tlis will rapidly become one OF
the NEST important trains leaving this
city, and will soon be highly ap
preciated by the public. Instead of being
an expense to the Government, it will
speedily become more than selfsustaining.
OF course, it is an advantage to the pub
. lisbers Of Cincinnati morning newspapers
but it is an advantage those publishers pay
for, and it is an advantage as well to the
public. The fast mail, furthermore, is evi
dence of the excellent management of the
Post-office Department. 1t is no longer an
old fogy concern, but real wideawake es
tabli>hment, keeping fully abreast OF the
times. TO this Is to be largely attrib
uted the immense increase in Post
office business. The more the pc pie
are accommodated, the more they will use
, the mails The late announcement of til,
German Government that it will add an
other division OF soldiers to its already
overgrown military establishment is help
I ing to drive emigrants from the country b.
: thousands. Nearly six thousand left Bre
men for the United States in lh
week ending Sunday.--The renom
a ination of Grant means the es
| tablishment of a struggle by hin
and every President for denominations fo
life, to which all the power of the Govern
ment patronage shall be bent. 1t meanl
r the organization of the Government arm,
of 100, 600 Office holders to work for con
tinual denominations 1t means not merel
an exceptional third term to General Gran
or to any other President, but renomina
| tions for life. 1t means that the supper
OF denominations shall be the essentia
qualification for Office under the admins
tration, and the first duty of every Officer
