Mr.. John Kelly is not likely to find much
encouragement at Albany for his claim that
Tammany Hall represents the Democracy of
the City of New-York and has right to all
the metropolitan seats in to-day's State Con-
vention. The best he can expect from the
Convention is that it will show him the door
in polite manner, and not rudely kick him
out as was done two years ago. The outlook
last night was that the country delegates will
be almost solid for excluding both the Tam
many and Irwin Hall delegations and recog-
nizlng the new County organization III TINS
is done the only question of real interest con-
corning the Convention and its results is how
Mr. Kelly will behave after he is told that ne
and his followers are not wanted III the repre-
sentative gathering of the Democracy OF the
State. Will he again organize bolt or VIII
he be content with letting the election in this
city take care of itself9 That he will work
for ticket made By men who hold that he and
his friends are guerillas and outlaws hang
ing on the skirts Of the Democratic party to
betray it, is not for moment to be expected
from a man of his courage and resources. In
the end he will get even with Mr. Iilden and
his country cohorts.
In the language of Mr.. Edmunds, the Dem
Ocrats Yesterday drew the prize in the lottery
of assassination. The Democratic Senators car
ried out their programme of Selling the office
of President pro tempOre of the body by force
of a transient majority occasioned by the Vice
President becoming President of the United
States. They refused to admit the three Re-
publican Senators whose credentials were be-
fore them, and also refused to adopt the fair
proposition to elect a presiding officer for one
day only, in order that the oath might be adj
ministered to Messrs. Miller, Lapham and Aid
rich in due form. Nothing would satisfy them
but the immediate election of Mr.. Bayard TO
the seat vacated by General Arthur On a
resolution to have tho oath administered to
the new Senators by Senator Anthony, Judge
Davis voted with the Republicans on the
other motions he did not vote at all. The net
outcome Of the whole business is that the
bullet of Guiteau has made Mr.. Bayard Presi-
dent of the Senate, and that the second officer
of the Government, who is the possible sue
cessor to the Chief Magistracy has been elected
by wholly DISTINGUISHING the State of Newly ork
and robbing Rhode Island of one of her two
Senatorial votes. Having accomplished this
outrageous piece of partisan work, the Demo-
Gratis made haste TO adjourn the Senate.

WIN the Democrats also go into the Disseminating
businessl


1t is wen to remember that if Mr. Conkhng had
not resigned the Republicans would have elected q
president pro TEN. Of the Senate yesterday.
IL looks as il Mr.. Tilden would have his directions
followed implicitly by the Albany Conyenti'n to-
day. Nothing will be done which will shake his
hold on the party That was what he asked, merely
that nobody hostile to his principles be nominated.
The Convention is likely to bounce Taminany not
so much because it dislkes bossism, because Boss
Tildeu commands it.
Governor Foster said on Saturday night that he
felt confident of his reelection by majority fully
AZ great az the one he had two years ago, over
10000 He also believed that both brapches Of the
Legislature would be Republican He bases his faith
on the apparent determination of the Republican
voters TO poll full vote. 1t is not surprising that
such determination is manifested The Republican
who could stay away from the polls after the events
OF the past three months is not worthy OF the name
Republican
Talnmany went to Albany yesterday with brass
band and in ears smothered with placards bearing
the most inspiriting sort of Inscriptions The mo-
nOpolies came in for some very hard humping, yet
Mr. Kelly, the boss anti-monopoist. sat comfortably
enthroned in palace car as luxurious any rail-
way king could command. As breaker-down OF
monopoes in the interest of the lab0ring man he
ought 10 scorn such things.
Senator Edmunds gave the Democrats of the Sem
ate something to think about yesterday when he
charged them with seeking to gain the prize IN the
lottery of assassination
The Republican quarrel in this State lies very
quietly in its grave. No mourners save the DeInoc-
racy.
1t is predicted that if he is bounced to-day John
Kelly will submit quietly. The prediction does not
seem 10 have been made after careful study of Mr..
Kelly's expressive countenance.
There is thing the country will not stand, and
that is the election OF George C.. Gorham to any
office whatever. As the editor ~ the organ of the
Star Route thieves and most indecent slandorer
of President Garfield ne is entitled 10 nothing from
the Republicans save the silence of contempt.

MUSId AND TIE DRAMA.
nn0TH AS RERTrCCIO.

The uoarseness that somewhat embarrassed Mr.
Booths efforts last week. has mostly worn of, and,
last evening in the character of Beriucco, in The
Fools Revenge" he put forth his powers freely and
with fine effect. The performance, indeed, was
only married by the forgetfuluess hesitancy Of
several of the persons in subsidiary characters.
This impeded the electrical current OF some of its
effects; yet. against all obstacles TINS i'm.
piled, the spirit Of the actor bore him
bravely and splendidiy on; and especially in the
terrible scene of the fathers aeonizng supplicaton
and simulated glee, ut the door of the banquet
chamber, his natural passion-expressod with
the cOpioGs vebemence and fluent eloquence
of frenzied grief-swept the large audience
into a tumut of excitement and wild an
plause There is no achievement inmOdern
tragic acting that affects the feelings more deeply
than this performance does, at its climax, or that
lives in memory as a more brilliant eXempihcation
of the magnetic quality of dramatic genius. Mr..
Booth was three four times called before the cur

feeling taste and grace as FiOrdeliG: but several

Three men had q worry narrow escape
from going owe Niagara Falls the
other night. John Lehman and his
son and John Greenwood, of Chippewa,
Ontario, crossed the river in the morn
ing in two small boats TO visit some
friends on the American side, and set
out just before dusk to return home,
pushing their boats into the stream,
hardly a mile above the falls. They
were not more than half way across
when the river became covered with "a
thick fog, and the men lost each other.
1t was impossible for them to guide
themselves in the darkness and mist,
and they began to shout for holp.
Their cries were heard ON shore, but
nobody cared to venture into the
stream. Their cries, however, were
answered, ana the whole town turned
out. The church bells were rung TO
direct the imperiled men which way
20 head their boats, but the roar Of the
falls drowned every other sound, and
the boats were meanwhile drifting rap
idly toward the edge. Greenwood had
n small anchor attached to a long line
in his boat, and he threw il out. The
anchor, by good luck, took hold OF a
rock, and his progress was stopped.
The Lehmans in the other boat drifted
down to within half a mile Of the falls,
their course being easily traced from
the shore by their cries. Their lives
were saved by their boat striking a
counter carrent, which carried them
against q projecting point on the Cana
dian side, near the burning spring.
Greenwood was heard shouting for help
at intervals throughout the night. but
when day broke no was seen still rid
ing safely at anchor, aud was soon
rescued.

Statistics recently published show
that the process of subdfviding the great
plantations Of the South is going rapidly
forward. In Mississippi, Tor Instance,
there were 1880 plantations in 1860,
and the average number of acres in each
was $40. Ten years later there were
6s,023 farms, the average III of each
being 1893 acres. In 1880 tho number Of
farms was rs, 205, averaging 1856 acres
each. While the areaof cultivated land
is less than it was in 1860, yet the pro-
duction of cottonis nearly twice rs great.
These figures tell a pleasant story of
growing thrift and prosperity, and illus
trate in a striking manner n Of the
great results Of the war.
