WASHINGTON, February 23.-The de.
termined stand taken by the Tammanyites
against Tilden and their ultimatum that

support him, but would spare nothing 10

den materially. The Democrats generally
consider New York as lost TO them, unless
the party there should be united and
harmonious in the next campaign, and so
long as the Tammany faction maintains
its present position against Mr.. Tilden, the
almost unanimous opinion among the
Democrats is, that to nominate him would
be equivalent to throwing away the State
in advance.
On the other hand, Mr.. Tilden is him

many, aud his friends assert that no can.
didate Objectionable to him shall carry
New York.
The selection OF Cincinnati means that
the Democracy have determined to wage
a vigorous campaign in Ohio next fall,
and there isnot the slightest doubt that
the second place on the ticket will be
given to that State whether Tilden is nom.
mated or not. This, OF course, disposes OF
Hendricks. since Mr.. Tilden has declared
that he will not consent to his nomination
for the first place. The Democrats in the
many conferences they have held with
each other were compelled to these con.
clusiOns relative to Ohio because they
have every reason to believe that Grant
can not poll the heavy German Republi.

NASHVILLE, February 2l.-A reporter
describing the attempt to resuscitate the
negroes hanged at Murireesboro on Fri.
DAY last says: After they had been sus'
pended for seventeen minutes they were
cut down, and DR.. sieger, of Nashville,
and Drs. Byrne and Muriee, OF this city,
attempted the experiment in resuscitation
which was proposed some days ago. They
did not begin until thirty minutes after
the men had been cut down. A number
OF physicians were present TO witness the
experiment. After the clothing had been
taken off, their bodies were wrapped in
hot blankets, applications were made TO
their necks to reduce the swelling, and an
artificial respiration brought about by the
means usually applied in cases OF persons
who have been in the water for long
time. All this was preliminary 10 tho ap-
plication OF electricity. Batteries were
placed in juxtaposition to the spinal cord
and different portions OF the brain. The
effects OF the application were soon appar.
ent. First came nervous muscular twitch'
ings In those parts OF the body with which
the batteries were placed In contact. The
temperature was gradually increaseduntil
It reached over 1,000 degrees.
The effect was immediate. The muscu'
lar contractions increased. The limbs
twitched and shook like men asleep, and
struggling under the spell Of horrid
nightmare. The regular drawing in and
expulsion OF air, produced by the appli,
ances referred to, were horribly real and
life.like. The respiration came with ar
effort, however, and sounded like the
gasps OF men struggling for breath.
Dir. Siegar put his hand 10 their wrists
'The pulse is beating" he said. 'for
can feel II, but family"
Their eyes next opened, under the etiec
OF the electric current, and turned abou
the room in vacant gaze. There was nc
sound but the labored gssping OF theil
lips. All in the room stood still with hor
ror.
"Gentlcmen," said DR.. sieger, "the ex
pertinent is concluded. Our main oblecI
was to show the effect OF electricity upor

IT is claimed that the contributions for
Irish relief, liberal as they have been, are
still far from being sufficient to provide
against famine in Ireland. Advices show
that the extent Of the distress and the
consequent danger Of death from famine
are greater than was imagined in this
country lew weeks ago. All the money
that has been contributed here and in
England would not, II divided per capita,
amount to dollar for each person who is
on the brink OF starvation. How long will
q dollar keep a man alive? The story is
told in the statement that in Donegal
alone the number OF the distressed has in.
creased 10 sixty.six thousand, and that
the increase in the county Mayo in two
weeks was nearly seventeen thousand.
The HcralTs Dublin correspondent re-
ports that II. is the opinion Of competent
observers that the worst is TO come,
although there will bc n relaxation OF the
famine during the two weeks when labor
will be employed in sowing the crops. The
experience OF 1877 teaches that the sever
est period Of the famine will be the last
fortnight of May, the whole Of June and
tho first fortnight Of July. These consid-
erations must impress the importance Of
keeping upa steady flow Of subscriptions
to the several funds which have already
reached such respectable proportions.

he alluded to the fact that the citizens OF

After speech OF about forty-tive minutes
