Judge Black on the Silly Craze for
Political Sensation.

Ia an interview published in Wash

called 10 the declaration in some quarters
being made that the winning ticket Of
, 1854 would be Blaine for President and
Joe Brown, Of Georgia, for Vice Presi-

Paying The Price.

A New York letter of Feb. 21st says
The politicians here all admit that the
Tammany men in the legislature have re-
celved their reward in the composition of
the senate Committees for selling out to
the republicans The republican heuten-
ant governor gives the three Tammany
senators more places on the committees
than any other members of the senate, re-
publican or democratic. The make up
of the committee on cities shows that it
was a part Of the bargain to give Tammany
this control Of legislation affecting New
York city The anti-monopoly party has
been sold out and sacrificed for the bene-
fit OF the other contracting parties. The
railrCad committee of the senate has been
made against that party, although two
Tammany senators are members. The
republicans have been declaring all the
while that there was no bargain with Tam
many; but the senate committees, or
ganized as they are with particular view
to making Tammany prominent on every
important committee, tell as plain story
OF bargain and sale as has recently come

How great power the reporter reaiiy
i. IN journalism was manifested In Ne"
York city some years agc-it vas 4 long
time since James Gordon Bennett was
sill alive, and So was Horace Greeley, oot
both we're old men, if siivered heads ahd
beards make age. II was when A. A.
Low. the then President of the New iorK
Chamber of Commerce, had returned from
a European tour. 4 great complimentary
banquet was given Mr. Low at the fiftn
Avenue Hotel. HIS Honor, the Mayor,
was there so was Judge Brady; IN tact,
all of the big guns Of the bar, and all the
famous editors, except the elder Bennett,
who never vent to diuuers. After all the
marnales were seated, the reporters were
admi,ted-there were fourteen OF them
and we're taken to . long table which was
not set of for dinner, though elegantly
aiapted TO writing The walters trooped
IN with v.ands, but ignored the reporters,
who bore the slight until the course had
been served then, by mutual agreement,
they arose and tramped silently out OF the
banquet hall in Indian file. Horace
Greeley, Manton Marble, Jones, Hud-
son, Brady and Brooks saw the depart
ure. Greeley laughed and said I'D
if the boys ain't serving 'em just right
The guest Of the evening looked on IN
dismay, as he was primed with long
speech that he wanted well reported.
After ali absence IF two hours the re-
porters returned from the bar-roOm OF
tie hotel, where they had whiled away
the time in ssmpling ice-water and per
haps something stronger. No sooner had
they got back TO their table than waters
were sent 10 them with wine and cigars.

the fourteen in chorus. The chairman

He srid special dinner should be pro-

dinner" answered the fourteen. To
work apparently they went ; pencils flew
over the paper the speakers glanced at
the writers they seemed TO suspect their
diligence. perhaps they thought 1t was not
deserved AT all.
Next morning confirmed their suspi-

Good BY 20 John X ely.

A New York letter says: Mr.. John
Kelly is regarded by country Democrats
as the bully Of New York politics, who
has wrecked habitually State and national
tickets to save certain 81 oils TO knot Of
local traders as reckless and dislUyal as
himself But even this would not be
such serious matter If Mr.. Kelly had
not mounted upon the shoulders Of his
spoils brigade and bullied the Cincinnati
Convention out of its senses, and thereby
brought down irreparable disaster upon
the country. There Is also -.strong feel.
ing that after beating f,iden in the. Con
yention he treacherously slaughssred
Hancock at the election. Add TO this IN,
conviction in the Democratic mind, which
no argument can shake, that Tammany,
with some of its Southern coad tutors, con
, nived at the fraud of 1877, and the New
York reader will not wonder that the
country Democracy is more than will
ing to part with John Kelly and his faith
less tribe for good and all.
When the Democratic State Conven-
tion last year refused to admit the Tam
many delegrtes, who came up notas Dem
ocrats, but as kellyites, the action was
universally endorsed as wise and Just,
and as the beginning of the end of the
troubles which had 50 long covered the
Democracy with shame and defeat And
now the refusal of the Democrats to bar
gain with Mr.. Kelly's stool pigeon in the
Legislature appears to complete the sur
gical severance of the body of that death
from the body of our life.
Let the Republicans shoulder it open
ly, lot them carry it for a while in broad
day IS they have long done in secret dark
ness
Nothing has of late years given more
pure satisfaction to the country Demo
cracy, nothing appears to have conveyed
abetter promise of future harmsny aud
success, than this final riddance Of John
Kelly and his gang. You cannot pick UP
q country newspaper which does not pre-
sent this view IN stronger terms than
have employed.

Comparative Cost Of Grain Ship
ments by Rail and Sailers.

The Southern Pacific Railroad has
placed the tariff on Wheat and Flour at
Sl3 per short ton from all points in this
State to Galveston, Texas This definite
announcement allows US to estimate with
some degree of certainty its effect on sail
ers. At SIS per short ton, a long ton is
SlI 56. From New Orleans the lowest
ocean tariff to Liverpool is 81 90 per long
ton. Accepting this as the probable low
est rate from Galveston to Liverpool, and
we get sum total of sl7 O6 per long ton
hence'to Liverpool In this calculation
We do not include necessary charges that
will be incurred in reshipments at New
Orleans or Galveston, particularly so when
it goes by sail To reach the many i'm
porting ports abroad much will have to
90 by sail or small steamers from the Gulf
ports. At from 52s 6d to 55s per long ton
to Liverpool direct, sailers can come here
in ballast and load outward with profit
while, with an inward cargo, they can a.
cept still lower rate and net money to
the owners. Taking 55s direct, without
taking of the 3 per cent at this end, which
goes to the charterer, and it gives us
Sl3 80 per long ton-a difference in favor
Of ships of about 50 so per long ton, equal
to nearly l4fe per GENITAL We have taken
in the above calculations the highest posi-
bic range for ships after the railroad es-
tablishes through connections, and the low
est possible rate by steam from the Gull
ports to Liverpool From New York the
rates by steam to Liverpool is from 4d
to 5d per bushel, equal to from 81 % to
S3 20 per long ton, which gives IN favor
of the Gulf ports from 4Sc to 81 20 per
ton. To successfully compete with sail
ers the railway company must reduce their
Graintariff to quite low figures. F.

Corruption Everywhere.

And now comes from the southern part
Of this hemisphere statement implica-
ting another American ambassador IN
what is described as one of the "schemes
of a gang of rascals who are deceIving the
Americans in relation to affairs in Peru
and Bolivia" The ambassador now I'M
phcated is General Adams, American min
ister resident at the capital of Bolivia
According to The Times Of Valparaiso. I'M
portant letters from DIR. Cabrera, who is
described as ''the principal promoter IN
Washington and New York of the intrig-
ues plotted by Hurlbut in Limaand Adams
in La Paz," have been intercepted, which
throw light on the purposes OF certain
North American emissaries who have
inst arrived" The purposes of said emls-
saries, it seems, relate to speculation
connected with the "Potosi real sOcdrOn,
valued at $50, ,OO0, 600, and railway from
Puno to La Paz, to carry out which the
gold plethora in America is counted ON.
Cabrera says that the money is ready, and
that the Bolivian legation-Minister
Adams--.is completely under the con-
troll Of the capitalists who have the en-
terprise in hand" The letters are said to
show. also, that Adams himself has acted
as the secret agent Of the speculators
that h. visited the mineral districts OF
Bolivia and then went to America, where
he busted himself selling shares in the
Potosi real sOcarOn and other mines. ut
Is impossible to imagine" the writer says,
anything of more scandalous nature
than the speculative jobbery IN which
Minister Adams is implicated. He is cen
nected in the Chilian mind with Hurlbut,
for whom, it appears, the Chilians en-
tertain no mplimentary opinion. 1.-The
moral turpitude of these two men, it is
said. "has worked an incalculable amount
Of mischief to the interests Of peace, and
made the United States the most unpop-
ular of all foreign powers in the eyes OF
Spanish America Their recall from
that section Of the globe is recommended
to the Washington cabinet as the course
Of wisdom, if they do not wish the honor
and dignity of America 20 be dragged in
the filthy mire of disrepu.able transac-
tions carried ON under the e.is Of its great
name"
There has notappeared any good ground
for doubt that it would have been quite
as well for America, and for its influence
among the more respectable of the Span
ish- American states, if MIR. Hurlbut had
not been sent to manifest his diplomatic
qualifications at Lima At all events, it
can not at present be thought that he Was
granted indefinite leave of absence any
too soon. And if the charges now brought
against Minister Adams are not altogether
unfounded, the same observations may be
applied to him. 1t is pretty clear not
only that recent American diplomacy in
the Andeaa c1untries has been seriously
nverdone, bnt that the Washington ad-
minislration has not been lucky in the
salection CT its diplomatic representatives.
