A GENTLEMAN who was present at tho re-
cent important meeting of the Democratic
State Executive Committee of Georgia, held
in Atlanta, writes us that but one member,
Ereaing ibs, expressed an opinion in favor
of Tilden. Not even Hon. George T. Barnes,
Of Augusta, Ga, of the National Committee,
could give Uncle Samuel lift. II seemed
as though the Sage of Gramercy Park y
was entirely deserted save by one lone, i'm
pecunious newspaper man. While Thurman,
Bayard, Field. and Hendricks were favorites,
Hancock was the first choice of several, and
the second choice of many. All seemed
favorable TO his nomination at Cincinnati

THE ENGLISH MONARCHY AND
YOUNG NAPOLEON.

We disagree oftener than we agree with
Mr.. Frederic Harrison, when he writes on
subjects connected with British politics. His
fierce arraignments of the policy of the Bea-
consneld administration in Afghanistan and
South Africa in the Fortnighdy Reup pro-
woke our dissent more frequently than they
elicit our approval. Yet we find nothing
but praise for the manliness of his protest
against the proposed memorial in Westmin-
ster Abbey TO the late Prince Napoleon.
There has been nothing in the recent his
tory of the English Royal family more likely
to discredit the idea of constitutional mon
archy, or impair the position of that family
in the respect Of the liberty-loving and law
loving English-speaking race than the osten.
tatious friendship Of the Queen and her chill
dren for the dethroned Bonapartes. Reasons
Of State may have dictated the cordiality
which began with the Anglo.French alliance
at the time OF the Crimean War, but when
the Empire was succeeded by the Republic
II was as bad in taste as it was in interna-
tional policy TO treat the friendliness as one
lN'''""i w INV u''hiph'u uhuIpcIb instead
Of what IL ought TO have been, viz: friend
ship between two nations having common
interests at stake. Writing to a recent con-
ference of remonstrants against the step
taken by Dean Stanley, MIR. Harrison says:
Tho Abbey Is the resting place Of great Eng gshmen,
not oi foreign conipiTatoIs TO carve on It a name
which stands for iteaehory and bloodshed and SO TO
make Il serve the plot against friendly people, Is an
outrage GA al that IL peaosabe and law abiding In the
Enalish character This proves 10 US that We cannot

THIS Is pretty strong; but the proyocation
vas great. We fully agree with the Boston
I,@ss, which says "Mr. Harrison is entirely
right, aud his manner Of speech. in refer

1.-The Price of Ice' is timely, and applies to WASH
ington as well as to New York:
OF course the Ice crop for next has all been
gathered, and the Ice companies know Just the amount
10 he had for the supply OF the demands OF the season
The Hudson river crop has nearly failed. and 1t
not for Maine there would necessarily be scarcity OF
Ice during the summer. But Sew England has gath
cred such an abundant crop that Middle State
suffer from the lack Of the cooling commodity during
the heated term. Nevertheless the ice companies
already demanding extravagant prices, and If their
demands go higher with the mercury, before the end
OF the season the consumers will groan under the bur-
den OF shameful cxtorion. 1t Is not probable that
while the winters OF Maine continue to he rs rigorous
as now Ice will ever be scarce In New York. except
ns combination OF Ice dealers restricts the supply
brought to our market. i! consumers are compelled
to pay three or four prices for Ice next summer It Will
be because greedy monopoly EFFORTS the money from
the people. There will be excuse during 1850 for
unusual exactions from Ice consumers That sl per
100 pounds is already demanded by great ice
pany indicates that extraordinary eXtortions Will bc
