The news of the death of George
Mellish on the street, Sunday morning,
was quite shock to the community,
as he had been on the street and about
his business up to Wednesday after
noon. Wednesday afternoon, after
getting his mail, he started for his res
idence, and when about opposite DR..
Sherwin's residence he was taken with
a severe pain in the region of the heart,
extending along both arms to the
finger tips and with nausea at the
stomach. He stopped few minutes in
the passascway, expecting to relieve the
stomach, but couldn't, and proceeded
to his home, the pain continuing. DR..
Sherwin was called the next day,
who gave him opiatcs to relieve the
pain, and he continued quite comfort
able until about II o'clock Saturday
night when he had second attack,
and passed away in about an hour, in
the 18th year of his age. Mr.. Mellish
was an old and respected citizen, has
filed many local offices, and was at
the time of bis death town treasurer
and receiver of taxes. He was a very
active man for one of his years and
will be greatly missed in the commu-
nifty.

Party Tactics Ina New York.
N.w York Graphic.

The deadlock was occasloned by a matter Of
politics. The three parties are very nearly evenly
divided. The active contest over the election Of a
president of the board was between the county
democracy and the Tammany hall members, the
republicans taking neutral attitude, and egg
ing the others on to tearing each other to pieces
Each of the democratic factions considers that
success in the election Of one Of their number as
president gives the seal Of regularity to their or
ganization at the next state and the next national
convention. This Tammany hall particularly de-
sires in this presidential year. The county de-
mocracy are now held to be the regular democratic
Organization Of the city, and are naturally
anxious to deprive Tammany hail of such claim
as the election Of its candidate, William p. Kirk
would give it, Neither could succeed without the
aid of at least four Of the republicans. At first Il
was thought that the policy Of the republicans
was to prevent any organization, and thus to keeI
the factions wrangling but other cOunsels were
heard, and the deadlock was broken yesterday b,
the election Of Mr. Kirk. the Tammany man.

The New York Times blows hot and cold on
the subject of the proposed investigation of
political murders in Virginia and Mississippi.
1t does not think the prima facie evidence
justifes any such inquiry as to tho Danyille
murders as will probably be held, though it
might be possible to have one so clearly i'm
partial and thorough as to possess some
value. The Times sent correspond
emit to Danville who supplied
it with abundant evidence, but it discredited
him in its editorials of the issue in which his
letters appeared. This, too, although he
gave tho sworn testimony Of Judge Black
we'll and Daniel Digger, two democrats of
tho highest character and standing. The
public will know just how much weight to
give tho Times, which thus labors to temper
down the truth concerning political crimes
because Of its hatred of individuals who
were on tho republican side.
Concerning Mississippi, the Times takes tho
other side, aud says: "The evidence is very
different and much stronger, and an adequate
investigation is not only justified, but de-
handed" Then follows an animadversion
upon tho senate committee on elections,
which is in these words:
| But, with entire respect TO the senate we do not
| think that its committee on elections would be
likely to make such an inquiry Its chairman is
| Mr., Hoar and its other members are Messrs. Cam.

They could do nothing but get what facts were

Ivy, would be little more than couple Of cam.

The Times was probably addressing its
democratic customers while discoursing on
Virginia, and its republican customers while
touching on Mississippi Such impartiality
should net 90 unreWarded.
