The New York Democracy.

John Kelly, at the meeting Of tho Tam
many general committee on Tuesday evening,
gave general directions as to the conduct of
the Tammany primaries which he counsoled
should be held with due formality and upon
proper notice as to places and times, In order
that 'our neighbors," as he termed the
county democracy, should have no grounds
on which to criticise them. He also advised
that Tammany send a large number Of men
to accompany the delegates. Whereupon
Gen. Spinola, he of tho altitudinous
shirt collar, became enthusiastic and
wanted to roll into Buffalo with
twenty-four crowded palace cars containing
at least 1000 men. II is to be presumed that
the object of sending such an army would be
to have a good dehl Of heavy standing around
dono in tho hotel corridors and saloons, and
likewise to sec fair play in case of q scrim-
mage. Mr.. Kelly spoke patornally of the
jarring brethren who have been ordered by
the democratic state committee TO ignore
Tammany, and expressed the hope that the
democracy would send united delegation to
the state convention. This Is rather an
effort to put his enemies in the
attitude of being quarrelsomo than
an overture to have union of forces. II is
evident that two delegations are to 60 to the
New York democratic state convention, and
that each will struggle for tho possession of
he present state com mittee which Is to de-
eide which set shall have the original seats,
Which ever side carries that point may be able
to dictate how the other shall be dealt with
by the convention. The question of harmony
in the democratic party depends on how much
forbearance these warning factions show to
each other. With Kelly dispeased tho city
democracy will bo beaten on ooctlon day.
With Kelly pleased, how much enthusiasm
will there be among the county democracy
1t would seem that whatever happens must
inure to the benefit of the republicans if they
do not play into tho hands Of the enUmy.

Money Orders and Postal Notes.

The chief of the money order division Of
the Postofice department. estimates that at
least two-thirds Of all money orders are for
sums less than s., and therefore the new
postal notes can beused In the place of postal
orders. AS these notes are issued with much
greater facility than money orders, he con-
cludes that their use will materially tighten
the labors Of money order clerks in large
postotiices
The probability that attempts will be made
to counterfeit the new postal notes, If they
should pass into circulation as currency
which now seems likely, has not been over
looked by the treasury secret service officials,
aud q careful watch will be kept for such at
tempts. Chief Brooks, Of the secret service
bureau, said yesterday that attempts to coun-
terfeit the new notes would very likely be
made. He said he had not yet examined
them carefully, but from the color in which
they were printed he was certain they could
not be counterfeited by photography.

A WESTERN newspaper, in referring to the
convention of free thinkers at Rochester,
N. Y, suggests that they cultivate honest
description in their title, and "calI them.
selves free takers" The point Is not bad
one. Tho gentlemen who constituted the con-
ventiou. as we'll as the element they represent,
have availed themselves much less of their
freedom to think than they have of their
freedom to talk. The other side, with few

The RAlsing OF the slyerdaie.

Supervising Inspector General of Steam
Vessels Dumont is in receipt Of daily reports
from New York respecting the work of rails
ing the wreck of the Riverdalo The report
from Supervising Inspector Starbuck, re-
ceived yesterday, states that another change
in the plan has been made, and that now the
boilers will be removed from the hull and
deposited alongside the wreck, after which
the hull will be first raised. The reason for
this change In the plan Is that the wreckers
have been unable yet to obtain derrick for
raising the boilers, the only derricks that
could be obtained being now in use on other
work. This will postpone tho inspection of
the boilers indefinitely.
Gen. Dumont, supervising inspector gen.
eral Of steam vessels, left for New York last
evening in response to q telegram received
yesterday afternoon from Supervising In
spector Starbuck, stating that the wreckers
at work on the Riverdale had obtained a
derrick and had raised one Of the boilers
(the good one) of the steamer, and would
have the other one raised by tomorrow morn
ing. Gen. Dumont wishes to be present when
tho boilers are inspected. and had made ar
rangements to be notified as soon as they
were ready for inspection.

Democratic Assault. on . Lady.

An old letter has been dug up, or mRnuiac-
tured, in which that vascillating Old gentle
man, James Buchanan, is made to scold at his
niece, who presided at the white house, for
having made an excursion on the government
vessel bearing hor name. The old man seemed
especially troubled that the matter had been
made the subject Of newspaper criticism. 1t
was the straining at gnat by president who
had swallowed a whole drove of the camels of
fraud, official corruption, executive tyranny,
and party perfdy. The administration of
Buchanan made that of Pierce respectable by
comparison, and blackened the political his
tory of the country with chapter of traffick-
ing in patronage for political ends, which was
fitting prelude to the passive treason that
rendered secession an easy step and the first
months Of the rebellion q picnic. 1t is worthy
of the party which canonizes such man that
its scavengers should invade the decencies of
life to rake up aud publish sprivate letter
containing an unkind and unnecessary repri-
mand of an accomplished lady now living, and
which could only have been intended for her
own eye. Keep the rascals out

THE Virginia obstructionists concede in
the language of tho Washington Post that
the democratic party of Virginia, a,-the
bourbon funders,' as their opponents call
them-met their Appomattox when, after the
federal executive department and the senate
had sided against them, the supreme court of
the United States swept away their last hope"
According to tho same authority this, and
debt paying wing of tho democratic party in
Virginia to accept the debt settlement effected
under the Riddleberger bill for just what it
is, an accomplished and unalterable fact"
No higher tribute could we'll be paid to the
good Judgment of those who were the means
of securing that settlement; ard, on the
other hand, it would not be easy to find a
more humiliating confession of the lack of
common sense on the part of those Yho op-
posed it. What shall be said, then, of the
cool impudence of these obstructionists in
claiming that having at last accepted defeat
they shall wear the vict ors crown and be
entrusted with the execution of tho very
laws they strove SO hard to defeat2 If per-
fectly sincere in accepting the inevitable
their want Of sense in the first instance
should disqualify them now. And 1t would
be wonderful exhibition of stupidity not
to allow the noble band of heroes whose
wisdom secured the adoption of the adjust.
ment scheme to carry into full effect what
has been so well begun. This seems to us to
bo the great question of the day in Virginia,
compared with which other issues sink into
comparative insignihcanCe, and we doubt not
her voters will SO look upon it.

Protest Against Any Action Looking to

Representative Dunn has addressed to the

iterating the protest mado by Gen. Rosecrans,
Representative Cobb, aud himself against any
action on the part of the department looking
to tho issuance to the Southern Pacific Rail
way company of certificates for the land grant
Of tho Texas Pacific railway and against tho
filing Of any mortgage by tho New Orleans
Pacific Railway company on the lands
claimed by IL ns assignees Of the New
Orleans, Baton Rouge and Vicksburg
Hallway company, as a basis for the
issue of land grant bonds. Mr. Dunn says:
My attention is now again called to q
statement in tho press dispatches Of recent
date to the effect that one Mr.. Sypher, per-
son unknown to me, has, ina letter to the
secretary Of the interior, urged him to act
favorably on tho respective claims of the
Southern Pacific Railway company and the
New Orleans Pacific Railway company to the
respective land grants that they are seeking
to acquire by virtue Of said pretended assign
ments, and against which action said protests
were made, and that he assigns as one reason
for such favorable action the statement
that said protests have been withdrawn"
The acting secretary of the interior was
verbally notified late in June that no power
or authority was conferred upon any person
whomsoever to do or perform any act what
ever IN connection with said protest or the
matters to which they related for them OF in
their names"
Mr.. Dunn also repudiates any action that
may have boen taken by L. N. Hill in the
matter.
Mr.. Sypher's application for the appoint
ment of u commission to examine complete
