The Mayor became 80 alarmed at finding the city departments dropping one by one into the hands of mon taken:.from the ranks of the Miles O’Reilly demiedtacy, that he proposed to sell the tumble-down ball and all the old tomahawks and, scalps, and to ga. into new quarters, where the rottenaess of the organization might be concealed by new pajnt and feathers. But the sachems overruled him, and he is now making an effort to inveigle the new city officers and the leaders of the Miles O'Reilly democracy back into the Tammany ranks. They very wisely refase to return and announce their determination to repudiate hereafter the candidates of any State conven- tion that may recognize .the rogulatity of Taromany, thus compelling the democracy, it they desire success hereafter, to reorganize their-party, from the foundation up. This is 4 very sensible ‘course for the Miles O'Reilly Union democracy to. pur- gue, and we advise McLean, .and .Con- fom otginiastion, of tho Uniogdomoc- raoyjand ake that the foundation Yor th reconstruction of the whole party gn the plat- "form of the new ideas and principles which have.been developed and brought -into exist- onge by the rebellion. If that is not done they pwill never succeed in regaining power in the nation... The first thing necessary, however, in order to accomplish this result is to commence }. with the local organization in this city by taking’ up and electing Mike Connolly for Mayor in 1867, Judge. Mike is.a rollicking, jovial, fellow, and will make an excellent Mayor. He will bave nothing to do but show his ine monly person to.all visitors and shake tue office, and the: Judge can perform them in much more easy and courtents manner than they’ dre performed by Hoffman. The elec- ‘tion of Mike Connolly for Mayor will establish “the already victorious Miles O'Reilly demo- cracy on an unassailable basis. It will be necessary, of course, to look beyond the local election and to make preparations for the Presidential campaign, and they should there- fore put forward as their candidate for the Presidency General Thomas, of Virginia, wiro finished the war in the Southwest, and who could very. probably lead them to victory on such @ live platform as we suggest. This is the true way to reorganize the democracy, and she Manhattan Club should wake up and take these matters into consideration gt once; for they will we compelled to swallow them all ‘in the ond. % —_ j Caste, Targorama ano News “Aasyoms,— We seo that the London journals are grum- bling at, the, unsatisfactory character of the despatches which. they get from'this country Gstough the Atlantic cable.

A Terris Gas Exrrostox.—Weelearn that & great revolution is about to take place in the method of supplying gas fa all the cities in the faion. Under the new plan it is Cogtemplated @ gas on a large scale, with im- mense works, in. the immediate neighborhood of the coal mines, where coal can be purchased for fifty cents per ton, and to convey it through mains to the several cities, where it can be consumed at one-quarter its present cost. The Atlantio cities and interior cities of the North- ern States will be supplied from the coal mines of Pennsylvania direct by one company. Another will manafacture at the coal mings of Virginia or North Carolina, and supply the Southern cities ang towns, The West will get their gas from mines; and so on throughout the Union, ‘These several projects will be conducted aa national affairs, wader the authority of Congress, The immense ad- vantages of such a system are at once appa- rent. ‘They reach not only to the great reduc- tion in price, but to the improvement in the quality of the gas, ond the banishment of gas mauufactirmg nuisances from the cities. Prepa- rations aré already in « forward condition for the consnmmation of this desirable reform, and lena Ueoh three , 2 tt will be an catabliahed feet ‘and all the others on every side only take gue from the leading actors. _ The: question, which, is freely discussed by ‘our now, and’ which seems to give the Prosidént, Mr. Seward, General Sherman and Mr. Campbell a great deal of trouble, is as te how far the mission: of the'two latter was or was nota failure. But behind this is anottior ‘and very important question, and that ia, what _was the mission for? The newspaper . corre- ts, obtaining thoir information from | Sherman and the authorities at Wash- ington, tell'us the mission was successful’ in part... Shorman, who is generally reticent | men of the press, appears anxious to have impression spread abroad. But neither he,gor any one else tells us how or in what way ttwae a success, There is evidently a consciousness that the so-called mission was a Quixotic one. Shormhy and Campbell went to Mexico end returned, in the same way that the King of France with his twenty thousand men marched up tho bill and’ then rmarghed down again. They performed the role of Don Quixote and Sancho Panza over agate; but which did,the part of Quixote‘and which the part of 8 which tought the windmitis most bravely —we havo ye$iteicara. We know that Sherman things by the ddree'of dieanergy.. Wintusilts nor.anything cise could obstruct his dery carcer when he hasa definite object to séoom- plish. inthis case, however, ho probably had no definite object, and was under the restreint of others. We think, therefore, that while he performed the part of Quixote be acted under the directions of the real visionary Don in the State Department at Washington. On the other side we see Maximilian and Marshal Bazaine having a separate little “play of their own. Poor Max, indignant at the cavalier manner. in which the French were. going to dispose of aud his e establishment, ‘first po. General , neau, tne special envoy of Napoleon, and then kicking up his heels with renewed energy, awore he would, be Emperor in apiteef the French. At one time he was disposed to fy from the country, and was on his way toithé sea coast for that purpose; but Bazaitie, who was not ready for that, stopped his baggage and put » guard of French soldiers in bis way. While smarting under this indignity and the troatment be had received generally, some of the old Mexican chiefs of the church party got his car and persuaded hig to resume ithe rdle of Emperor which he was abandoning: To spite himself or Napoleon and, Bazaine, and to thwart the “ Yankees,” he avowed his, purpose to hold on.to the imperial sceptre, and ret to the city of Mexivo, There be was, acco ing to the last accounts as ime eS reapo) .

On the whole, he ia in desporata ‘s OF 16 6 AMAL about what gov are to leave und who ig to secnre their oleims. Our own government, also, is in « ridiculous position. The rival chiefs of Mexico are ready to dght among themselves immodintely tho French aad Maximilian dhall leave, after their ald fashion. Altogether; Mexican affairs are in a groater muddle than ever. But it will be some consolation to the Frenokh people that their government has not alone been placed in « ridiculon’s position. They have heen excessively sensitive, as was quite natural, at the farce their government bas beea performing, and have felt ‘some indignation against us for having been instrumental, in part, in forcing it into that; but they may laugh atasnow. No people havea keener sense of the ridjoulous, and they will not fail to amuse thomeolves at the sorry figure thé United States has made in the absurd migsion of one of ove greatest gonerals and a ae ae Ro pleai- pétentiary.
