The Tammany leaders have exhibited a little more pluck this timo in their nomina- tions for Congress. They have selected men ‘without any regard to compromises. Con- Beious of their power they have shown it in selecting some good, sound Tammany sup- porters, and have neither huckstered nor patched up old quarrels with the deserters. In cutting off such democrats as Morrissey and Fox, and substituting new men like Roberts und Jones for Congress, they have taken a de- parture from the system of making bargains and compromises with delinquents and extend- ‘ing pardons to recusant democrats, which shows that Tammany appreciates its power and knows how to use it. In nominating Fernando Wood for his eld seat in the national legislature the Tammany leaders only pay a debt of gratitude to the man who taught them a good deal of what they know of the political science of governing the city of New York with the best advantage to themselves and the people. Fernando Wood jwas the original standard bearer of the people—the arch-rebel who assailed the Tam- many fortress some years ago, from Mozart ‘Hall, with a cannonade that threatened de- struction to. the Wigwam and hammered at it with no mean force. But Mozart Hall glided away from him like a beautiful illusion, and Fernando, grown older and grayer and wiser, fis a steadfast democrat still that Tammany can afford to endorse. This ig all right. In the Congressional nominations we observe that the deserters nowhere appear. Tammany thas shown some pluck and backbone in this business. No compromise with traitors, no seats in Congress for the secret allies of the enemy, were evidently the thoughts which controlled the leaders in making these nomina- tions. PERSONAL INTELLIGENCE.

Michael William Balfe. A telegram from London annowices the death of this eminent musical composer, in the sixty-third year of his age. He was born in Dublin on the 15th of May, 1808, and displaying great talent tor music when very young he received his first instructions from the bandmaster of a regiment stationed at Wexford, and from bis father, who was himself a musician. Subsequently he took lessons from the celebrated composer Horn, and gained his first suc- cesses as a singer and violinist. When but six years of age he execuied with marked ability a morceau of Viotti, At Drury Lane theatre, in London, ac- cording to one authority, in 1824, being then only in his sixteenth year, bc made his début in the opera of “Freyschutz.”’ In 1825 he visited Italy, where he first appeared as a composer, his piece being entitlea “Lapeyrouse.” It was periormed at La la in Milan, but was not a success. Gotng to France in 182, Mr. Balie obtained an engagement at the Italian theatre as bass singer, und suug, under tne name of Baif, with Malibran and Sontag. At the close of the season he returned to Italy and applied himself to the work of composing operas, which Were rep resented at Palermo, Milan, Paris and London. “Les Rivaux” appeared in 1530, “Un Averussement” in 1832, “Henry IV.’ in 1534, “The Siege of kochelle” in 1835, ‘Marion L Malibra “Falsta Gipsey,” “The Star or Seville « Puits d’Amour,”? “Quatre Fils @’Aymon” and others at various later date: Mr. Balfe’s operas were not all successful on the stage, but aliof tuem bore evidence of his genius. it is notewortny, too, that they attained different degrees of popularity in ditterent cies. “the Bo- | hemian Girt” and “Quatre Fils d’Aymon” met with | great success In Germany, Wihlie in London “The Daughter of St, Mark’? ran for one hunted con- secutive nights, Mr. Balle receiving a present of a piece of plate in commemoration of the one hun- dredth performance.

Mr. bulfe visited the United States twice, His second daughter, born in 1837, appeared for three seasons in London, singing with marked suc- cess. She married Sir John Crampton in 1869, and after her divorce irom him im. 1863 was married to the Duke de Frias, a grandee of Spain.
