Tilden,s Victory.

The fine Italian hand of Tilden was visible In
every movement OF the regular democratic con-
yentfon at syracuse. n. Y, yesterday and even
his enemies must admit that he Steered the
party through stormy and even dangerous
period with admirable adrOitneSS. He realized
that any appearance of violent opposition to
him would be damaging to his candidacy, and
ne knew, too, that there were men in the con-
ventlon anx1ously watching the opportunity or
even pretext to declare their hostility to him
and show that the feeling existed through
out the state. In this emergency the willy poll
tical manipulation OF Gramercy Park simply
toned down his aspirations somewhat, and con-
Sented to accept half loaf in the way of in
dorSement rather than run the risk of getting
no bread OF that character at all He no doubt
would have been gladto assert his former auto
cratic sway, and have the convention openly
acknowledge his rule and Instruct the delega-
uon In his name. But that was lust
what his enemies wanted him to do. and
he was too shrewd to crafty them.
ANY effort to commit the delegation to Ti,den
would have called forth bitter protests from
the minority, accompanied with charges that
the convention had been packed for that pur-
pose. Tilden wanted to avoid all discussion.

communities that had almost unanimously

shadow OF an election behind them admitted

From the Philadelphia Times, 18th.
Senator Malone, of Virginia, is
just now an object of interest to
the politicians, and especially to q
number OF gentlemen like ex-Sec.
rotary Gorham, who want to get
back TO snug places in the Senate.
The next Senate will be uncom-
fortably clio for both parties, but
it Is not probable that a deal can
be made TO change the present
secretary and other subordinate
officers of the body. Assuming
that Tennessee will elect some sort
of Democrat to the Senate, and
California some sort of a Republic
can, the new Senate will stand 81
Republicans, 81 Democrats, and 2
independents Malone and Davis.
Davis is not likely to trade with
any body for anything, but Ma
hone is quite likely to trade with
everybody for everything, and 1t
is among the possibilities that he
may deal with the Republicans,
tie the body, and thus enable the
Republican Vice. President to give
his party majority on some ques-
tions, but so frail a supremacy as
that would run q brief career. Ma
hone is practically desertsd by the
Democracy OF Virginia, and he
must decide upon one of the two
ways for the futurc-either to go
squarely over to the Republicans
and make hay while the sun shines
or go squarely with the Democrats
and attempt to restore himself in
the confidence of his State. He has
six years for the experiment,
which will crrry him over 10 fine
middle Of the Administration that
succeeds Garfield, and what he
shall do Is of infinetely more i'm
portance to himself than to either
party or to the country. The new
Administration is certain to be in
the minority in both, branches
sooh after it starts, unless the
Democrats shall be largely divid-
ed in support of Garfield, and
what one man or a dozen men
shall do in either Senate or House
will be of little moment beyond
the few officers to be gained in the
organization.

DURING the past six or eight

DURING the past six or eight
months number of bold robberies
have been committed on the line of
the b. u o. r. R., near here, by
breaking open cars. On the night
of the 1st inst, a car was broken
open and quantity of goods stolen.
A clue was had to the perpetrators,
and on Friday last Constable Miller
was given a search warrant, and in
company with detective of the B.
& O. r. r., proceeded to search the
house of Frank Reed, colored. The
search discovered a lot of dry goods,
&C., which were identified as having
been taken from the car. Frank
Reed and his wife Nancy were ar
ranged before justice Wilen, and adj
mitted that the goods had been ia
ken from the cars. After a full
hearing of the case, justice Wilen
held each of the prisoners in the
sumo of 900 for the action of the
Grand Jury, and they were commit
ted to Jail.
The chief party in these car rob-
berries is a negro named Stewart
Wheeler, against whom there are
now two or three indictments, but
who has thus far succeeded in elud-
ing the officers. We learn that he
was tracked to Cumberland, and
was arrested by an officer on Mon
day night, but succeeded in getting
away, after the offices had him in
charge. The officer found him in bed
in the house of a negro, and in going
down stairs, led the way, Wheeler
following behind. When partly
down the stairs Wheeler turned and
ran back, pursued by the officer, and
jumped out of an upstairs window,
carrying the sash with him and made
his escape.

AT the recent election, the State
OF Kansas adopted an amendment
10 the Constitution, entirely pro-
hibiting the manufacture and sale
of spirituous liquors within the
limits of that State. The provision
thus engrafted in her fundamental
law cannot be repealed except by
two.thirds vote of the Legisla-
ture, and ratified by vote Of the
people. This measure, which is
far in advance of that adopted by
any other State, was accomplished
without the aid of any distinctive
temperance organization, and
shows that when public sentiment
is educated to the point of taking
sterner measures for the suppress
sion of the liquor traffic, it will
find expression in some way.
