PREMATURE ExHILARAT1oN.

Some of our dear democratic
friends were prematurely exhilarated
the other night when they thought
Mr.. Anderson was elected sheriff,
and they gave vent to their ecstatic
feelings by indulging in extravagant
representations about the future.
Col. Fleming, Mr.. Caldwell and
others, We are told, for we did not
hear them, found in the result, as
they then thought it was, the un-
mistakable drift of public sentiment,
and foretold how Hancock was to
make clean sweep" in
Knox county and East Ten>
nessee in November. They
did not stop to think that Billy An
derson is many hundred votes
stronger in Knox county than Gen.
Hancock or any other democrat
living. They did not take into
consideration the fact that the DEM
Gratis who had the management of
the canvass were exceeding careful
not to draw party lines, and how to
prevent this they actually declined
to ratify the nomination of the s'su-
perb soldier" preferring to engage
in ''still hunt" They forgot that
a great many republicans voted for
Mr.. Anderson, but in their feast
Of gladness, their overflow
of soul, interpreted the result
as great democratic victory
presaging an extraordinary boom for
the handsome Hancock.
But when the third, sixth, seventh,
eleventh, eighteenth, nineteenth and
twentieth districts came in with their
painfully disappointing returns, theil
spirits dropped and went down tc

We have reached crisis in the
present political campaign. What
the result will be time alone can
determine. David Davis has come
out for Hancock. He is universally
recognized as heavy man. Here
tofore he has perched upon the
ridge>pole in politics, throwing his
great weight in the centre, thus
preserving the equilibrium. But
now he has gone over to the demo-
Gratis, and there is danger that with
he and Hancock both on the same
side, the other may "tip up" Any
one can see that a catastrophe is
possible at any moment, and the res
publicans ought to be on
the watch for something to hold
10. About the only thing
calculated to prevent this great mis-
hap, is the presence on the same side
with Davis and Hancock, of such
men as Ben. Hill, Senator VOORHEES,
and Judge Hoadly. They are we'll
inflated with gas, and consequently
have a tendency to rise. Being we'll
anchored to the democratic platform,
their influence will be just the oppo-
site of the heavey fellows, and may
counteract it to an extent sufficient
to preserve the balance. The re,
suit will be awaited with anxiety.

THAT DEMOCRATIC REORGANIZATION
MEMS

Democratic reorganization, in NewYOrk as
everywhere else means simply new scheme
TO get office There Is no principle about It,
Nobody ever hears any Tammany man, or any
Anti ammany man, displaying deep interest
about the currency, OF the tariff, or any other
great question of public policy. The Demo
cratic politicians who are engaged in reOrganiz
ing or in resisting reorganization care not a
pipch of snuff for any of these questions.
What they want is to get Office to get it for
themselves, or the control OF it, so that they
bestow it upon their followers. The only thing
that exctes their interest is the prospect that a
new combination Of politicians may bring about
a new distribution of offices and plumber. Elab
crate presentations OF alleged Democratic
"principlesr like those made at the meeting
last night have no meaning to the mass OF
Democratic voters in this city, except as the
promise of q new division OF spoils.
Here are $4,000 Democratic votes in this
city. mostly so ignorant that few leaders,
with little organization and one or two names,
can cast those votes as they please. Ii the
leaders were agreed, these votes could control
nearly all the offices and Jobs in this vast and
most expensive City Government, the DISPOSE
ton of revenue of $30,O0O,OOO yearly, the
selection of eight or ten thousand officials
clerks, dOorkeepers, p0rteIs, workmen and
laborers-and the choice OF many persons to
represent this city in the State and Federal
Governments The voters have nothing to do
in the matter, except to vote as they are told,
to shout foI this leader OF that, and to get what
share no may award them Of the pap and the
plunder. Whether Tammany or Anti Tam
many is uppermost, the Democratic voters are
equally destitute OF real power, and equally
mere serfs of some feudal lord. The leaders DO
not agree. Consequently, one part OF these

THE ART INVESTIGATION.

There ia some misrepresentation, even among
persons claiming knowledge Of art and art
methods. as to the investigation which has been
ordered by the trustees OF the Metropolitan
Museum of Art into the charges made against Cen
oral di Cesnola The matter seems very simple in
deed. dealer in antiquities MIR. Feuardent,
makes the charge that at least objects OF stone
comprsed in the Cesnola collection were fraudu-
lently repaired altered as to give them ficti-
tons value as examples of ancient art. There have
been more charges by Mr. Feuardent as well as by
others. but those made by him have been general
and somewhat indefinite, and the remaining ac-
cusers have been the writers Of anonymous letters
70 the newspapers. The test is practically upon
these seven accusations.
To investigate them, the trustees of the Museum
appointed committee a majority Of wh0m-Presi

In this community than they are, this would still
seem to be Justly constituted tribunal. But MI
Feuardent, when invited TO appear before them,
declined on the ground that he had no rep
resentatiye upon the committee. The claim is an
absurd one. General di CesDola has no representa-
tive ON the committee-why should Mr.. Feuardent
have one Ia IT to be unherstood that any man may

ing a new crusade Donovan is opposed to
the indefinite production Of clean shirts by
alien hands, and has secured the passage of
an ordinance restricting the privilege of

The object of DOnovan's discrimination is the
harmless Chinaman, who by strict attention
to business which would be becoming in DOno-
van himself, manages to make good income.
The Constitution of the United States is not
an obstacle in the way OF DOnOvan's hostility.
Donovan is evidently under the impression
that whenever anything in the Constitution Of
the United States makes things unpleasant for
the Donovans outside the Board of Aldermen,
all that is necessary is for the D0nOvans in
side of the Board to pass an ordinance over
riding or abrogatng as it were, the Constitution.

An American III the next generation, look
ing over the files of the journals of to-day,
will find it difficult to believe his eyes when
he reads the story of the POncaS testimony
IN Washington before the Senate Committee.
The least astonishing part Of it is the mourn
full statement OF the chiefs that they waited
three years for the Government to undo a
dreadful wrOhg-which the Secretary of the
Interior now admits was a wrong
and then grew tired of waiting,
and resolved to submit TO the wrong as it
was. Bat the graver part of it is the suggrs-
ton. drawn from the conduct of the agent
and the chiefs before the Committee, that
this attitude of resignation is itself assumed
under moral cOmpusiOn from the Interior
Department. 1t is also charged that there
was not only fraud in the recent letter signed
by the Ponca chiefs. but unfaimess even III
the Interpretation OF their language before the
Senate Committee, and moral terrorism in its
very presence. Let us have plenty of light
on this matter, gentlemen of the Committee!
This is too big people to go into the busi-
ness Of cheating and expressing helpless and
ignorant indians.
