Another mystery Is uncovered in regard
to the strange revolution of the New York
republican state committee on the eve of
the recent convention at Saratoga. The
halfbreeds supposed they had at least two
majority on the committee, but when it
came to voting on the preliminary organ
izatIon of the convention, the proxies Of
Collector Robertson and Judge Smith,
both noted half-breeds, but absent were
found to be stalwarts, and their votes gave
the preliminary organization and thus the
control of the convention to the stalwarts,
resulting in the nomination of Folger and
restoring the machine" to the control of
Conkllng. 1t now appears that one Mon
tayne, a stalwart, appeared with a forged
telegram purporting to come from Judge
Saith, exactly as French appeared with a
forged telegram to take the place of Rob.
ertson, and thus Folger owes his nomlna.

TIE COWBoYS.-The rude rutlianism
and brutality of the western plainsmen ap.
pears TO be giving way to higher and oct
ter customs verging on "reminiscences OF
the days of knight-errantry and chlyalry.
Late dispatches from the plains tell the
strange story Of two droyers-one with a
herd of tour thousand cattle and the other
with q herd OF only one thousand less
who had journeyed amiCably together from
Arizona to Colorado, When they came to
the point of separation it was found that
the herds had become mixed up. At this
distance the difficulty would seem easy of
solution, but not so IN Colorado. The
drovers and their herdsmen talked and ar.
gued, when finally 1t was proposed to sub.
nit 1t TO the arbitration OF battle. This
was agreed to. Six mounted hcrdsmen on
each side were counted off, and at the dis.
lance OF fifty PAGES they opened fire. Four
men were instantly killed One party
then retreated from the lield. 1t was pro
posed to renew the battle, but the yIctors
declined, maintaining that the question
had been settled in accordance with the
terms of the agreement. Fortunately tins
view was accepted. The dead were buried,
the cattle were returned each to Its proper
owner and the march was resumed.
