THR DEAD Louk ‘at an end, and the banner of the democracy once more floats triumphaatly in the Assembly Chamber. ‘340w It was that the tide of battle was made so sud- @ealy to change in favor of the bare majority at the ‘Sery moment when they seemed hemme in upon gi siaes; Wat means were employed to weaken the Banks of the enemy; what motives prompted the @efection in the republican forces, are al) questions @ eonjecture which may be saicly left to everybudy to answer according to his own wiews of tho late disagrceable situation, ‘She fact 1s that the republicans have lost the fight, ard that is enough. it all came about this morning ‘when the Committee on Citles reported the new tax Jovy aud the amendmenis to the city charter, ana a motion was made ‘0 go into Committee of "he Whole fo consider them. Alvord aud several other repubil- fans at once GOT INTO A WRANGLE @ver the motion, contending that, as the bills Bad been very much amended m comunitice, Wey should be primed and laid upon every member's table before taking final action upon them. The democrats, at least the leaders, Knew what was to come, and vigorously pressed all tecir motions, one after another, and never flinched, even wien the yeas and nays were called to oc. ension delay. Fields moved the previous question, ami when it c:m2 Winans’ turn to vote he rose and ssid that his his name had been used m connection wita the repablican caucus resolution without his enthority. He farther said he acknowledged that tne dgemocracy here was ented to a constitunonal ma- ity, and he would vote herealter with them every It would be impossible to describe THY EXCITEMENT hat followed. The crowds iv the galleries, the lob- Dies and on the fosr of the House jolued with ihe gemocratic members in a round of applause that laste tor several seconds, and which was again and WD renewed after Winans had resuraed his seat. ‘The republicans looked chopfalien and said noting.

Goodrich then voted no, ant sat down. Winans, duiing the whole huboud, sat quietly in Dis seal, sing avs agreeably as thougi someboily bad been delivering a inisome eu! on his high cauracter, d wilh wien he felt mightly pleased. Freart thea moved THE SPECIAL ELECT N BILL, ‘and it was passed, Wivans vou. wiih the demo- craw every tine. It is beiteved that, although tne bill was passed, it will not ve vent to the other House, as i( was only rushed through to sausiy those members who had promised not to vote for the pas awe Of any other Dill Deore it had passed the House. how 1 must confess that, although the repub- ins were compile ely taken by surprise when ‘imans rose trom his seat and deliberatety threw of lus party a leguince, they had anticipated ceieat long before the House had come together. Their surprise Was not vhat one oO: their nuuber had goue over to the enemy, but tuat the one who had gove should have been the ove they least suspected. jad 3 THE “TRAITOR” been one of the contemptid y avaricious, amail-souled country republicans Who are always given tie credit, whetuer tiey deserve it or not, of being always in tue market at a very low price, they would have bad good reason to have suid, “\Ve expected as much,” but wio of the entire sixty-three repanii- cans ever suspected Winans?

Though suspicion a tached to more than a dozen of tie mimority 28 being rather prove to giving way to golden temptations, nova breath of distrust was ever breathed agat.ist the man who, 1m the tong run, bf sunple Word to-day, sent a thrill of joy theough every democratic heart in the House, aud Cast A GLOOM over his potitical colleagues that will rest upon them heavily ior tue balance of the session. and why should the have been suspected? He is reputed to be very wealthy. He has one of the most expensive suits of apartments tm the Delevan House, and nas held jor over bwenty years a most lucrative position on the Erie Rai road. Ada to this his unflaching devouon to his duty, during six years of legislation, ana we can easily imagine why his detection has created such a tremendous Sensation. The question now te, Woy did ue turn traitor? Was it for money, dor post ton, or was It to KEEP A PROMISE be had made to the democrats when the Irving- Weed diiticuity took place? It may be that money had something, im fact a great deal, to do with it, {i ali the stories that are afloat about offers made to others yesterday can be relied upon. It is said that sir. Blackall was ovfered $00,000, and a lucrative position in New York to go over to the Other side; but as the best authority for this statement fs oniy Mr. Biackail himself, it can be taken wisi un immease grain of sait, ac least as to the ainennt, So as to te muivy question there are many coniicting vpinions, ff Winans were A POOR MAN there would ve but one opinion as to the motive power wiich Mung nim into the ranks of the demo- cratic party. lie clatins that he was one of tne re- pebiicans who pledged themselves to stand by tie Majority on ali political questions provided they did nos retain Irving in lis seat alter the vificulty he had had with Weed, and that, finding that his cul- leagues were determined to take advantage of the corner into wich, by standing as one man against the democrats, thes could drive the imna- jority, he resolvel 10 keep w As ior his nume being atiacned to the caucus resolu- tions, proscribi the tax levy and other bills, be Aeciares that he signed the resolutions withoat even reading ‘bem.

Last night, where politicians most do congregate the great topic of the night was the unexpected breaking of the deadiock at Albany. The arrival in the midst of an anxiously looking throng of a gentie- man from Albasy was an event that gathered together the stragglers as suddeniy as the arrest of a pickpocket im Broadway in the biaze of day, and he had to sustain a imtrailleuse of inquiries from @ battery Of eager questioning poll- ticians, who all wanted to know how the new tilag worked this morning in the Legislawre, The sudden bolting of the republican into the demo cratic ranks and the happy termination of THR DEMOCRATIC AGONY was such @ miany-sifed event that every group had tts own way of discussing it. in the different caucusea that were tnvoiuntarily made censure and commendation of the course adopted by Mr. Winans were pretty equally divided. ‘The republicans of the Union League stripo were, of course, very indignant, and their vocabuiary was scarcely suffictently extensive, or, to use the lan- guavre of the lamented Mr. Dickens, words were not eloquent enough to convey to the mind their holy horror at conauct 80 treacherous an! 80 despi- caole as the selling or VING AWAY TRE RRPUBLICAN PARTY.
