The displacement of John Kelly seems
to be regarded by many as the first step
IN the retirement from politics of the noted
Tammany leader, and the ultimate disin.
tsgratlon of Tammany as seperate society
others do not so regard it, and think
Kelly will still be able to exercise great
influence as director of politics in the
state, aud that his power will be iclt when
the elections occur in 1881. As proof OF
this. 1t Is stated that, possibly no man in
New York has larger personal following
than John Kelly; that he has the facility
OF making his friends devoted TO
his interests, and that sooner or later.
kelly's influence will be felt with ali the
force which vengeance can give. A third

Iamnany will continue to exist, but that a

There can be no question that Secretary
Of State Evarts is not pleased with Consul
Moseby, who has been altogether too tree
in his exposure of the crookedness of his
superior officers, to suit the Republican
leaders. Yet they dare not remove Mose-
by, for everybody would know the reason,
There is way, however. to punish Moseby.
and this the secretary of state does By
refusing to grant leave of absence, and
by making it as unpleasant as possible for
the outspoken consul.

The st. Louis Republican says: The

wisdom by experience. or il would never
enter upon q new crusade against the
South. There can be but one ending to

There is story going the rounds at
Washington, which states that Secretary
of War Ramsey once said of Garfield that
he was "a weak, vacillating man. with no

From a private letter from Tucson we take the following items of inter est concerning mining matters in tbe Territory: Mining excitement is Se- ginning to run high Some of the most noted mining experts on the coast are here examining properties, among whom I notice Geo. Hearst, Taylor, Hoffman, Parish and others. Many properties are changing hands at sat islact0ry figures. New and rich dis tricts are constantly coming to the front. Among the most noted of these k the district in the DragoOn noun tains, where Gen. J B. Allen is now opening up the Silver Cloud-a rich bonanza of chlOridcs-and the Empire inning district, where the celebrated pro>pcctorS Hank Williams, Poppy Johnson and Captain Weeks are dis covering and locating rich prospects. which will soon be developed into paving mines.
