Col. 8. M. Robertson.
K. TrHll-

b. X. TrHAl.
There is now no room whatever to
doubt that the convention that assem-
bles here next week will renominate
this gentleman for Congress.
That Col. Robertson, after serving
only Il part of one session of Congress,
with only IL moderate amount of of leg
i~sfative experience before going there,
should so overwhelmingly defeat an
opponent so cultivated and distin-
guished rs Col. Thos. G. Sparks, proves
him to be possessed of no ordinary pO-
litical tact and mental endowments.
Going to Congress, we say, with only
the experience of a term in the lower
house of the State Legislature, in a few
short months Col. Robertson not merely
became popular with his constituents,
but won an influence at the National
Capital not a whit inferior to that of
any young member. He has been &C
tive and Industrious, attentive to the
interests of his constituents, and o
derfully successful in the measures es
poused by him. With the increased
influence and experience that comes of
faithful service his powers for accom-
plishing good will be greatly augment
ed. We should feel a pride in the
young Congressman who has received
such substantial evidence of the res
pect and confidence in which he is held
b. the Democrats of this district.

In the Saddle Again.

In an article commenting or the APP
pointment of Boss Fitzpatrick to the
important Office of United States Mar
shall recently made vacant by the death
of Mr.. Peasants, the N. 0. States says:
This appointment as we showed yes
terday evening is but another link in
the chain of evidence, now almost per
feet, which proves that the charge,
persistently made by the States in the
late campaign, that there was a specific
bargain and trade between the Reform
leaders on the one side and tho Big
Four, on the other, the terms OF which
were that tbevlatter would nse their
machine, $ggH deadheads, strikers, re
peaters and ballot box suffers to land
a Nichols delegation in the Democratic
nominating convention, while Nichols
and Gibson, through the State and Fed
eral patronage, were to stake care OF
who viii now deny that there twas
such q bargain? The goods on both
sides have been delivered in the pr3
ence of the whole community, and the
parties to the trade now put their
thumbs to their noses, wiggle their lin
gers in the faces of the people and ask
them with II grin what they are gong
to do about it
The States yesterday pointed out
the n in which the Nichols Glib
son alliance has provided for the City
Ring and we recapitulate the details
now.
The Governor has provided for Duffy
by giving him a fat tax relationship ;
for Davy by appointing his tool Super
intendent of the New Canal poor Pat
Mealey's representative has been APP
pointed a harbor-m master in violation Of
the law; John Fitzpatriek's stool pig
con, Flynn, has been appointed Regis,
trar of Voters, and thus the control OF
the elections in this city has been
turned over by Governor Eicholls to
the old city ring next Boss Fitzpatrick
has been, through the Influence of the
| Reform Governor and Senator Gibson ,
given the Office of United States Mar
shall, and finally, the Reform Governor
and his Attorney General are engaged
in an ingenious effort to so misconstrue
the laws as to give the old city ring a
chance to upset a large part of the good
work of last April by d~isplacing Com
missioner Leche and atfording the ring
an opportunity to recapture the posi-
ton Mr.. Fitzpatrick filed and dis
graced and which he manipulated to
land a Nichols delegation in the Dem
ocratic convention.
Thus are revealed to us the ripened
fruits of the secret bargain aud trade
between the reformers and the Big
Four; thus we see consummated a poll
teal dicker that in its shamelessness
has had few equals and no superior,
and thus far the achievements of the
Reform administration, we see, have
been confined to the rehabilitation,
through tho distribution of the offices
belonging to the people, by Nichols
and Gibson, of the old, corrupt and in.
famous City Ring which the people but
five months ago repudiated with wrath
and indignation.

of at least four of our six ~Congressmen,
with the probability that the other two
- Messrs. Lagan and NeWton-can
have their placesagain if they wish for

gentlemen. This is as it should be-. An
old member is almost invariably of
more value in Congress than a new
one-'ta yearling," az MIR. Cox informs
us those are called whose changing
constituencies give them bnt n term.
1t is a we'll known fact that a State
which is represented in Congress by
veterans in the service exerts more in
huence in the committees, the caucuses
and on the floor of the House than those
which are given to sending up new
members.
