II liz evident that the Land'League organizations
in this country are not going to be read out of ex

nouncing the League dead, aud are declaring with
much vehemence that they intend to live and -four

opening of an old split. While Tile hish World has
peen of great service in organizing League branches,
and has been phenomenally successful in the
raising of money, it has gained the confidence
of large portion of the League organizations The
hostility between 1t aud this portion was at one
time very bitter. but its great SUCCESS in raising
money during the past year or two nearly senced
all opposition. Its declaration now that the
League is dead has revived all the old luminosity,
and an animated struggle for supremacy between
the two factions is now imminent. Deman is are
already heard for accounting of the expenditures
made from the Fund, and these demands certain
to be resisted long possible complete state
ment of the uses to which the nearly hall million
dollars have been put would be of great interest

We wish to remark softly to the excited and Jub-
apprehension. 1t is not the Republican party
which is going to pieces. but the machine. The
PARTY itself is merely getting the track clear for
1854
Let us hope that the candidate whom the Admin
istration committee has Picked out for Congress-
man Large will not atllict US with nine ten
column letter of acceptance. Nothing less than
that space would be sufficient to give an adequate
explanation of this remarkable selection. He has
already explained too much for he felt the neces-
sty of announcing in advance of his nomination that
it WOnld be n great mistake for the committee TO
nominate him with the expectation of being paid
handsomely for it. 1t was novel thing to hear
man cry to his pursuers Don't put me under
the pump!r Now that ho has been put under, let
us be spared any further attempt to fool the party
about the real nature of the transaction. The
party stomach is badly overloaded now, and one
more letter of confession aud eXhortatOn would
be likely to cause unpleasant results Be-
sides, the committee must be very to the limit
of its folly by this time, unless it has deliberately
gone to Work the slaughter of the W hole
of the Administration ticket.
The Religious Herdld of Richmond, is authority
for the statement that the Hon. j. Randolph Tucker
in the course of recent two hours speech drank
two quarts Of buttermilk. Let it once be cstab-
lished that buttermllk when taken In excesSis liable
to be attended by speech two hours in length aud
by common consent 1T Will be struck from the list
of harmless beverages.
Mr.. j. Damn" Thompson and the other Admin
istratiOn crb-feeders who are 80 enraged with the
Republican press appear to have short memories.
They curse the newspapers for shaking the conf
dence of the people i'll our best men by persistent
abuse. by our best men" are meant of course
Flat Carpenter and Mr. Steve" French. We do
not recall anything the dlabolical press which
more profoundly shook the confidence of the public
IN Mr.. 0onklng and the President than the formers
resignation and the atters efforts to force his re-
election at Albany. unless il that famous Sun
day meeting at the Presidents house at
which thoy conferred, but did not have a
conference. as for the peoples confidence
in Measrs Plat, Carpenter French and other
of our best men" of that uaibre, We doubt
if there enough OF THAI for any body to get
holu of to shake 1t has never been necessary to
do anything more than chronicle the everyday
dolngs of the Administration statesmen to shake
the peoples confidence in them. We suppose that
even Mr. J. Damn" Thompson would admit that
the newspapers ought to publish the news How
would he like to take a paper, for example, which
suppressed the news of Mr.. Conllings resignation
and OF his subsequent extraordinary fight for u
vndicatiOnf Yet those were the feats of states
nanship which disposed of Mr. Conkling so Thor
uughly that even his own friends do not dare let
him take the stump this year.
General Ketcham receives the unanimous nominal
ton of the Duchess District for Congress- for the
tenth consecutive time. No comment on a fact like
that is needed. lie has always had the confidence
of his constituents and he is sure OF his election
los, al
more than we can safely say of all Duchess County
candidates.
PERSONAL,
Senator Hale, of Maine, is in such poor health
that he will DO unable TO take any further active
part IN tins falls political contests.
