Up to the final struggle ali tho odds were tm favor of the “young ’uns,” and no one in auy ‘way committed to the party hesitated to talk biz and crow and blaster at their coming victory, As the hopes aud spirtts of those who having deserted ahe old Tammany party were at the higiuest, so now bave they fallen to a corresponding depth of despon- dency and gloom.

D THE OHY GALL. annnn Bannan nnn The reporter of the HSMALD, Tull of tne sudject dearilig upon tie fate and fortunes of the young democracy, made araki upon City Hall and tum- bled against Mr. George W. Koome, keeper of the imstitution and head botiic washer for both boards of Aidermea, The usual crowd ;of tobacco-recking Joalers wore assembled around the fluted colurans ef the Hail, tier hangs buried @eep in tieir pants pocsets and thelr blood shot eyes rolheg aroma in bappy anticipation of the desh-puts im sire for tem under the comiug cnarier. Mr. Roome, wii @ quid of Michigan fine cut in his starboard jaw and bis hands exploring tue deep recesses of his breeches pockets, stood on the extreme edge of the area above the steps of the City Hell and seemed to be engaged in profound cou templation of the amusing bootblacks in the park below. Mr. Roome isagenteman who has hada hard road to travel in his day, beiug supposed to keep on the beat of terms with all the warring ciiques aud factions who from time to tume ussembie at the City Han and pasa their edicts of plunder at their own sweet will. Mr. Roome knew nothing Of the disturbauce which had sbaken the democracy up at Albany, nor did he care toknow. 1c touk him, be suid, all his time and aitention to act the part of the good Samaritan and keep noth sides afloat at the game time, This is a figurative way of putting it aud does not mean to express the 1dca that the ferce youn orsne screech- tng old democracy need whiskey to keep their spisits from sinking. IN THE SHERIFF'S OFFICE the bold but baffled representatives of the you democracy assemoled during the day and tate: over the gioo.y situation of wifairs. Jiminy, of the O Biten clan,‘hrew his manty form into au arm-chair anu guve his borse-sense advice to the company re ént, He wold them that their only strongboid, the Bireet Commissioners’ office, was at the mercy of the Diercliess eneuly, ahd that the only prospect beiore them was utter and irretricvablo deteat if they Negiected to change their programme of opposition and rejected proposals of compromise, As for, McLean, the general seaiiment was that if he goes by the board under tue oe of Tammany opposition his loss will be of ttle account, aa he was never of much good to sny- body, and had the least pluck of all tue men who toox upon themselves to fignt the Tammany mon- gier, Frequenters of the City Hall deciare their opinion tuat tne game is up and & settlement will be very 800n arrived at, in which the fierce and faming pe democracy will renounce all opposition to the ‘ammany party, and enter the traces in as gentle and docile @ spirit as becomes penitent politicians. ABIUT THE SYRE&T DEPARTHEX?. Probably there never was in the history of metro- potitan politics a day of greater anguish for small office holders than yeaterday, The anxiety of those who, when the tide of victory seemed to be floating the democratic malcontents into power and patronage, were loud in their denunciations of the old ring, was as amusing to the staunch supporters of the Regency as it was painful to them. The pride of the plugs was hum- vied, vaulting ambition bad o’erleaped itself and failen on the wrong side of the ditch. That the braves of Tammany would but on war paint imme- diately and go on the war path agatnst their ene- mies was the general belief. ‘The victory in the City Assembly not only left the Tammany chiefs masters" of the fleld, bat gave them # apiendid opportunity of carrying destractton into the demoralized camp of the young democracy. No one seomed to know where or how the frat blow was to fall, or who among the malcontents was the first on the list of victims. Outside the closely guaracd doors of the Tammany cures all was doubt, fear and anxious expectancy, How it was with the Lig Injins in their Souncils 2 few days will probably reveal.

The victorious chiefs seomed electrified. The rout of the Philistines hal been so complete that every scout and seniry of the dynasty’s camp had plunged into the reveiry of the rank and fille, while the field marshals grandly stalked the Court House halis and overwhelmed each other with chronicies of the battie. To the HERALD reporter a veteran brave ex- claimea— Now fa the winter of our discontent Made glorlons summer by this sum of York; Ant ali the ciouds that lowered upon our In the deep bosom of the ocean Lurled, As the day wore om the conquerors began to 100k after the routed foes, and watch them as they co- vertly met to bury the dead ana organize guerilla parties, Scouta were thrown out to observe the secret movements in the Sheriff's office, and other reconnoxring detachments scoured the city in search of the demoralized enemy; but nothing was discovered except disheartened opponents meditating Anrt-kari or seeking avenues to “‘recon- struction.” Scores of small fry oMiciais, who for many bie had talked charter with wagging heads and bit their thumbs at their superiors, cooed softiy wih the rejoicmgs that surrounded them and laughed at the young democracy’s discom- ftare while their eyes wore @ look, and evidently contemplated, hope, the sure removal of the saithfal. The atmosphere of the City Halland Court House was fragrant with ligktaing, for the day of compromise bad passed and the victors had not ouly vassals to remember, but new ailles to recompense. ‘That watcaword of democracy, ‘Remember thy friends, and forget not teine enemies was displayed on the outer walls, and every one felt that this Waterloo of the “coalluion” could have no osher result than the utter destruction of all foes to the triumphant dynasty.

IDE DiMOCRATIC TROUBLE IN REW YORG. To TEE EDITOR OF THE HERALD:— You havo lately, and with decided force, hit the nail on the head in your remarks on the democratic trouvles in New York. Thirst for power, greed for plunder are the whole cause of the connict. Patriot- ism, public spirit, has notuing to ao with it. it was @ bad mistake to give Norton the nomination last fall, aud ¥ was @ crime to take from Terence Farley the nommation he bad tw appease the unbridled anger of Genet. ‘The citizens would suffer much and the demooracy would crumble to pieces in New York if these “irre- concilables” had their wey. Theyare not honest and they are not able. ‘They can rob, but what are they competent to do in the management of @ party? Sir, they have no brains for this imculs business. The very smartest of these men has intellect for othing higher than the political tricciness of a ward. The demo- cracy in New York bas always been the centre of the Gemocracy of the nation. And wherefore? Be- cause it has always haa splendid orans to conduct it. That is the answer, What are Gemet, Norton and the rest competent to do in conducting the party, in sustaining its traditions, inupholding te powerful attitude, in making it formidable to ite enemies, 10 leading ttto new conquests? sir, the, can do nothing; 1t 1s not in the! re; i not im them by acquisition, ‘they are traitors to their camp. They are nothing else. Trust suca men with power! Sir, power in their hands would be the dissolution of the party. If these fellows were 1n contro! other fellows like thom, in want of mind and hungry for spoil, would immediately rise up, new contestants for authority and emolument. They must be sup] . ‘The very integrity of the party requires this. ‘The voice of every democrat should be raised against their impudert, insolent, outrageous perfidy. Let us keep the able, tae success- ful leaders we have. These gentlemen enjoy tne high- est respect with ail the community. Sir, ey it has as much intellect as twenty-five of these fellows, and nota smirch upon his name. The ambition of Creamer against such aman! Iv is the most auda- cious ambition ever iieard of. Then look at Tweed, @ great, big character. Norton against him! shame, Michaci!
