Tne re idea among the foremost men, not of all ia democratic world of New York, but among the more notapie leaders of the present movement, is to or- @anize from the whole disaffected body politic a force ‘wufticlent to enable them at the proper time to make demands upon the ruling powers advantageous to themselves and to such of thelr adherents as are aspiring after offices in the city government. How far the promises and pledges now made may be keptor how long the fancied support of the dis- affected may be relied upon in the coming struggle can only be seen m the time comes for the fulfll- ment of one pledge Sr the other. Political organiza- tions formed under such auspices are generally but ropes of sand, at least to all those who depend upon the new leaders, by whom they are for the time being held together. The astute and Powerful chiefs who command the political eitadel im this democratic city know well how to @eal with the whilom leaders of erratic party organi- wations and a donative, by the way of a few uninfu- ental and subordinate offices, bas been enough to Dridge over all difficulties in the past. These petty Deaders are ike the pretorians of the Roman empire, ‘and are dealt with in a similar way. No matter how the people murmured or threatened the reign- ing dynasty, @ donative to the Praetorian Guard was always sufiictent to secure the Emperors a lease of power. The Tammany chief in like manner has but to me down with an office or two, and the disaffected aders are at once won over to the side of the aged that be, leaving their dupes to mourn over clr apostacy and once more to regret their own gullibility, THE POSITION OF TAMMANY. But the very seeming strength and solidity of the power—never 80 | pa as it 18 at the resent moment—may prove its weakness.

Let Gideon bring on the whole strength of his band; a fairfield and no favor, and odds on the “young 'un.’? CIVIL AND POLICE JUSTICES. There are vacancies to be filled in all the Civil and Police Justice Courts of the various districts. In the First Civil district the justice bench has been filled for the past six years by the present in- cumbent, Judge Quinn, most commendably. He 18 a candidate for renomination, and will undoubtedly receive it at the hands of Tammany, in case that the powers there do not translate him to fill the vacancy on the bench of the Superior Court, to which he, with a fair prospect of success, aspires. In the lat- ter event Colonel Michael 0, Murphy, ex-Assembly- man, woald be unanimously chosen by fammany and the citizens of the district as his successor, In the Third district the present incumbent, Judge Wiliam K. Smith, will be a candidate, but strongly opposed. Ex-Judge Dusenbury isja candidate for the oltice. In the Fifth district Judge Loew, if not nominated for the Court of Common Pieas, will be 9 candidate for re-election, Should the vacancy thus occur, Jo- seph Koch, of the Comptroller’s office, or Thomas KE. Hill, ex-member of the Legislature, will be the man, In the Fourth district Moses D. Gale, present in- cumbent, will be a candidate, but will hardly receive the Tammany nomination, John H. Harnett is spo- ken Ol as acandidate. In the Sixth district Judge Lane, the present tn- cumbent, will be nominated and will not be likely to be opposed by any party. Tn the Seventh district Judge Stemmler will meet with some eae bee from the present Clerk of the Court—Mr. Michael McCann. In the Eighta district, William H. Ball, Justice, there will be q severe conteat. The present inoum:- bent will be opposed by Mr. Thomas W. Ficmady at present Clerk of the Jefferson Market Police Court, a very popular and withala very well qualified aspir- ant, Mr. Pitman will in all probability receive the Tammany nomi 0, and if so he will have a clean walk over the course. ‘he principal contest will be ovor the nomination. In the Fourth Districts Police Court (Judge Con- no!ly) the most prominent candidate for the coming vacancy In that office is Mr. Jona Masterson, who is backed by the highest influence of the district. He nies in all probability receive the Tammany nuomina- ion. . wall SUPERVISORS, There will be two vacancies to be filled in the Board of Supervisors, One is to be filled by the vote of the citizens, the next highest candidate will re- celve the appointment of the Governor, There will be @ great struggle for this office. It is one of those thas the Germans are determined to do battle for. The most sia candidate of the whole cae 1s Mr, Jacob Conen, an Israelite of very great popularity, not only among the German population but amo il classes of nis fellow citizens. He has a atakt 1m the general welfare and ig anxious to be in @ po- sition Where he can exercige some supervision over city affairs, He is therefore a candidate for the coming vacancy in the Supervisors’ Board—not only g can- diuate ior the Tammany nomination, but a candidate for the suffrages of the péople at large, for he ia de- termined to run for the office with or without the {eres nomination. When Mr. Cohen so big aud to the wheel there is no turning bac The ring, therefore, may as well adopt him at once, In Senatorial, embiy, and Other political mat- ters very little activity is noticeable among the few active politicians that a1 t ‘ibcree left in the city, A few weeks more and the full tide of the poiltical wave will be upon us, when organizations will be completed and ‘itical movements apparent. With the exception the general bearing of parties as above given, there are no positive actions, move- ments or plans to chronicle. We shall, however, continue to note and publish every move that may take place on the political chessboard between this and the entering upon active operations. THE NEW REPUBLICAN ORGANIZATION. Interesting Disclosares—How Republican As- sociations Make Their Rolle—Democrats Belonging to Them, At the meeting of the new Republicaa Central Committee, at the Everett Rooms, on Friday night, the following address was reported by Mr. Norman Stratton and afterwards adopted:— ADDRESS OF THB UNION REPUBLICAN CENTRAL OOM- MITTES OF THR CITY OF NEW YORK TO THE RE- PUBLICAN ELBOTORS OF THE CITY AND STATE OF NEW YORK, The republican party, 98 organized in the city of New York, has become disvracted and demoralized, and has ceased to be of any beneflt or use. Two separate and antagonistic general committees have, for the past three years, kept up an exist- ence, each cl aiming to represent the repub- Ncana of tue city, The Twenty-third street com- Mittee claims for itself respectability and antiquity, while the Twenty-second street committee makes but one claiin—that of regularity. A very large an reapectavie portion of the republican electors of the city have no sympathy or confidence in either of them, feeling assured that neither of them repre sents the masses of the republican party and fiat both of them are a fraud upon that party; and they have been especially di at the ads erpetrated in the district associations, in which tle oe of three or four have kept entire con- trol of such associations, using them without re- gard to the best luterests of the party and for their nating conventions and to their General Committee such delegates as best subserve their personal ends. ‘This large Glasa of repubilcan voters felf that they were unrepresented by any General Committee, and rat they were exclu ed from all participation in Fee working of the party.

In the afternoon of that day the place of meeting was taken sgi10n of by certain persons now in the control of the General Committee, who, after inviting certain Ons claiming to have been elected, and excluding all others, held a meeting and determimed what de- legates should. be admitted, and what rejected, in the formation of the committee in the evening, thus passing upon the qualitications of delegates to seats without a hearing or any evidence. The excluded delegates were, however, at the Meeting in the evening, permitted to have their claims to seats sent to a sub-committee, the mem- bers of which were all against them from the start. ‘That General Committee, after waiting four mouths, went on finally and organized permauently, and be- fore the committee on contested seats had reported, and before 1t was known who were members of that committee and entitled to vote for ita oiicers. The sub-committee finally reported a simple conelugion to which they had come—that the sitting members were entitled to ir geats, bus orted no fact or reagon Sate .

Thus was thig “regular” ‘Twenty-second street General Committee organized by the perpetration of gross ir! larities—manifest unfairness—by fraud and an outrage on the rights of others, Thus did they usurp power, in order to organize themscives into a general committee, thinking, doubtless, that ail unfair and nefarious ways by which they got the power would be shielded and hid onder the protec- tion that they were “‘regular.’?

The second person singular of the verb (‘thou lovest,’’ for in- stance,) is seldom or never used, except among Quakers and tne like. Poets, and on rare occasions other men of letters, use “thon,” and ‘‘thee,” an “ye,” but in general conversation and the great mass of Anglo-Saxon literature of the present day these pronouns are never used. Over half a century ago they became essentially obsolete. It seems to us most remarkable that all writers of gram- mar persistently ignore tne fact that the pronoun “you’? is used in the singular as well as in the plural number, and is equally correct either way. This persistence it resaion nas our party here a unit r Burl 8 mission from China to the ce in an Obsolete form of exp! respected political organization.
