Complete Reconciliation of the
New York City Democracy
The Congressional Districts
Divided.

NEW YORK, September 1.-The Democ-
racy OF the city, through a committee
from its two leading organizations, met
this evening to settle the div-
sion of the Congressional districts,
so as to more thoroughly unite
the Democratic vote in New York at the
ensuing election on Congressman. Sub.
committees on either side held joint
conference, and after deliberation re.
ported that Tammany Hall should first
select two districts, then Irving Hall
two, and the remaining three should be
drawn for with the understanding that
which ever should draw the Eighth dis
trict should also take the Eleventh dis
trict. This plan being agreed on Tam
many Hall selected the Sixth and Ninth
districts, represented byS. s. Cox and
+. Wood. Irving Hall selected the
Fifth and Tenth districts, represented
bv Nicholas Muller and j. O'Brien. The
remaining three numbers we're put in
hat, when Tammany Hall drew the 7th,
represented by Edwin Instein, Irving
Hall drawing the Eighth. represented
by McCook, and, as by agreement, took
the Eleventh, represented by Morton.
The conference was unanimous through
out.

"CuILD or TIE STATE.

Tonight the coy Opera House, cor.
ner of Fourteenth and Market streets,
will be opened for the season by the
Hocy and Hardie Combination, who
will present the above named play. The
sale OF seats has been such AS to make
the prediction sure, that the audience
will be one of the most fashionable ones
OF the season. Col. Reister, the genial
manager, has spared no pains to make
this opening a brilliant one, and it is
hoped that his efforts will be apprecia-
ted.
The drama is thus spoken OF by the
Philadelphia North .imtricom "A drama
entitled a Child OF the State, newly
adapted from the French by Mr. George
Hoey, VAS presented At tine Arrh street
Theatre, Hast evening, for the first time
in Philadelphia. Its announcement had
attracted one OF the largest audiences Of
the season, and the bosterous applause
with which its progress was followed
bespoke the satisfaction Of the specta-
tors. There is no doubt that the piece
will become popular. 1t contains the
chief elements OF success. Its plot is
interesting, and after it has been once
fairly opened, it is developed with con-
siderable ingenuity. There is Il success
sion OF sensational situations which are
at least specifically impressive, while
the piece is constructed with a skill
which at once inilancs curiosity and
battles conjecture"
The company appear tonight and to-
morrow afternoon and evening.

Old English Names.
Richard Grant White.

At the time Of the Norman Conquest only En-
glish names, with very few old Celtic names
were known in England. This may seem 10
some readers too obvious to need setting forth,
until they know that this limitation excludes
such names as John, Thomas, James, Ste.
phen, William, Robert and so forth. 1t is not
quite true to say that John was absolutely un-
known, but it was very rare and was of late in.
PRODUCTION. Now John and William are the
commonest Christian names borne by men OF
English race. Before the Conquest the names
were truly English-Alfred, Arthur, Ethel.
bert, Edgar, Harold, and-so- forth. After ths
Conquest these rapidly disappeared. The con-
querors' language yielded to the strength and
the foot-hold of the English speech, but their
names were diffused all over England, and
within less than century and a-half had al.
most wholly driven the English names out Of
the country. This is remarkable because, al.
though the Normans brought the Bible names
and saints names, as we'll as their own proper
Scandinavian names, their list was compare.
lively small, and the consequence was a great
repetition In every community of one hun.
dred English men, as Mr.. Bradsley remarks,
there would be, during the four hundred years
preceding the Reformation, an average %
twenty Johns and fifteen Williams, and then,
in fewer numbers and varying proportions,
would come Richard, Robert, Walter, Henry,
Guy, Roger, Thomas, Nicholas, Philip Simon,
Peter. and so forth. OF women's names dur
ing these four centuries, the favorites were
Matilda Isabella, Emma, Cecilia, Catherine.
Margaret and Lillian-all Norman, it will be-
seen. A fact very remarkable, as to the COM
mon repetition of names. is that, in many
cases, one name was repeated in one family
and in the same generation. A father would
sons, John, or William, or James. This
strange custom did not pass away until nearly
the beginning of the seventeenth century.

The Significance of It.
ALBANY Journal.

Consider for moment what this nomination
means. Here is party which was the foe,
the stumbling block, the menace of our soldiers
from the day that Sumpter was fred upon un-
til the day that Lee surrendered; which
growled at Lincoln's call for troops; which as
sembled in Convention at Chicagoin 1864, and,
according to its ability and malign influence,
cheered the rebels and disheartened our BOYS
in blue by pronouncing the war a "failure;''
which furnished all the Copperheads who
smiled when our forces met with reverses, and
sighed when we gained victory. And yet
with such record behind it the Democra-
cy now comes forward at this late day and
seeks, in the absence of all other claims upon
the regard of the electors, to win the day
by nominating candidate who stands for the
great cause which it spit upon, and for the VIC
tories which it did nothing to winl Such
death-bed devotion to the soldiers will deceive
no one, least of all the soldiers themselves
The nomination of Hancock will be recognized
by all sensible men simply as a desperate at
tempt of party which has been out of power
for twenty years, and whose long fast has given
it the hunger of the wolf, the assurance of a
highwayman, and the brass of Satan himself
to climb once more into place and power and
provender by an exhibition of fervent regard
for great American soldier. The people of
this country are not fools. The meaning Of
