THE DEMOCRATS HAVE THE ASSEMBLY.
The Democrats have carried the Legsla-
ture aud they mean to have t. The desire of
upright Republicans is that the Democrats
shall prove their claim 70 both Houses and
enforce it. Such Republicans prefer that q
Democratic ma ority OF $1,000 tor Governor
shall be found 10 bear in it the Democratic
control Of the State Senate and Assembly.
Governor Hill is evidently convinced that the
Democrats will control both houses The
Legislature is fairly ours. and we shall obtain
it, he says. Any attempt to iuggle the re-
turns in favor Of Republican candidates Will
be resisted to the last.
JAY COULD ALL RIGHT.
DR.. j. z. Mum, Jay Gould's physician.
when asked about the condition OF his dis
tlngushed patient replied Mr. Gould is
not sick. He is all right in every respect
Mr.. Goulds sons also denied the rumOrs re-
garding their fathers health which they say
were started in Wall street for stock gamb- !
ling purposes
No private Brazilian news was received here
this morning 10 was stated at several large 1
houses that the lack of news from Brazil |
must be looked upon as favorable sign.
THE END NOT YET.
Although the case against DR.. Briggs was
dismissed by tie New ork Presbytery by |
W at was regarded a decisive majority. IL is |
certain that it will occupy the at
tention OF the various judicatory bodies Of the
Presbyterian Church and OF the Protestant
part at the public. for the next three or four
years at least That is the very earliest time.
according 10 those persons familiar with Pres.
byterian procedure, III which the case can be
finally settled.
TO HAVE TIE COMMITTEE DISCHARGED.
II was SAID to-day that the friends Of DR..
Briggs will make another effort at the meet
ne of the Presbytery on Monday to have
he committee OF prosecution discharged.
But should the Presbytery as iucb under
axe TO discharge the prosecuting committee.
which was part Of the udicatory. they would
My afford another opportunity or cause for
appeal.
1t will thus be seen that the case Of the
Rev. DR.. Briggs may yet have to be tried by
he Synod or the General Assembly. only the
'ew York Presbytery VIII virtually be Joined
