The Niobe soon after arrived and demanded the surrender of the imprisoned foreigners and ex- Pianations for the outrage. bd The authorities were obstinate and refused to ‘accede to the demands of the Commander of the Niobe, when a bombardment followed until a fag ‘of truce was hoisted. The prisoners were surrendered and compensa- ‘tlom was guaranteed. % MEXICO.

The Allatment of Inspectors of Election. Tammany, 1; Apollo Hall, 1; the Republicans, 2. A The Apollo Hall Men Coming to the Front. The Probabilities of Success for a Dem- ocratic State Ticket. The Candidacy for Munici- pal Offices. The political contest in this city is fairty inaugu- rated; party lines are positively defined as be- tween the leaders on the great issue itself, as to who shall come out victorious on the 4th of No- vember next. The action taken during the past few duys clears away the mist that hung like a pall upon the political prospect and left men in doubt as to the relative positions of the two rival democratic parties, The clouds that hung 80 threateningly over Apollo Hall have cleared away in the light of the decision lately come to by the Police Commissioners in the spportionment of In- spectors of Eiection, Tammany claimed, from her ancient standpoint and her long supremacy as the chief,democratic organization of the city and State, that she was alone eutitied to be represented in the election of inspectors and canvassers, But the powers that be, outside of Tammany, have de- ¢ided otherwise, and that decision is PREGNANT WITH THE FATE OF TAMMANY AND ‘APOLLO tn this contest. Tammany threw all her influence into the couusels of the Commissioners, as she has been similariy doing in the direction of the State Convention, to induce her sole recognition as the only represchtative of the democratic party as a whole in this city and State, and the consequent laying out in the coid of Apollo Hall as an organi- zation unworthy of such recognition, To this end here in the city the Tammany leaders demanded of the Police Commissioners the appointment of two Tammany democratic Inspectors—the republi- cans to get the other two. This was an important vantage ground, which, if secured, would have commanded all the points of the enemy and left the Apollo Hall line of battle exposed to the Tam- many fire. Tosecure it the Tammany leaders left no stoue unturned. Tne Commissioners were sub- jected toevery cajolement and attempted to be de- ceived by all the artifices which such practised strategists could devise, and in tact Tammany pro- fessed to be as confident of success with the olice Board as they seem to be with the effect of their influences on the Democratic State Convention. But as ‘The best laid schemes of mice and men Gang att a gleg, so it was with Tammany and the Police Commis- sioners. The fact is that the Police Commissioners, after a most careful consideration of the subject, have decided that APOLLO HALL IS A LIVING DEMOCRATIC PARTY im the city of New York, regularly organized and requiring the recognition of the Commissioners and of all men as such. Hence it has been decided that the Inspectors of Election shall be divided in the following apportionment :—One Inspector to the TAMMANY HALL PARTY, one Inspector to the APOLLO HALL DEMOCRACY and two Inspectors to the REPUBLICAN PARTY. As Napoleon said at Waterloo, when Grouchy ‘was detached from the fleld to look after the Prus- sians, that’s one advantage lost in the Nght; so the Tammany leader, John Kelly, may reckon this action of the Commissioners a8 so much against his chances of success in November next. Having thus decided for a fair field and no favor as be- tween the democratic rivals, Oliver Uharlick was authorized to appoint the bottle holders, in- spectors ef Tammany and Apollo, while Hugh Gardner was deputed to do a similar kindly oftice for the republicans, Tom Murphy and the CUSTOM HOUSR RING ARE JUBILANT, of course, over the division thus fatally secured as betwecn Tammany and Apollo, and deem thata walk over the course is awaiting them. From present appearances, if the close corporation policy of Tammany ae to the end, the result will be that Apollo Hall will nominate an independent ticket ior all county and municipal officers, with the probability of an alliance, offensive and de- fensive, with the Custom House party on a mu- nicipal ticket, Such @ combination would dis- astrously affect the Tammanyites. It is already, however, strongly urged by some of the Apollo leaders Who are incensed at Mr. Kelly’s despotic use of the “party whip,” as they claim, Such an ajliance upon the principle laid down, IGNORING ALL PARTY CONSIDERATIONS in the choice of candidates for municipal and county officers, would give the Apollo Hall and Cus- tom House party three inspectors ef election out of the tour. Comment is needless, On the other hand, should Tammany descend from her stilts and make the amende honorable in time a Tammany and Apollo Hall union would put them on an equality in this very important essential to success in a close litical contest with their republican eabcor ae he leaders of Apollo Hall—Mr. O’Brien and others—have'been busy for the last two or three days closeted with Charlick on their best man for the important position of inspecior. ‘the repubil- cans have been similarly engaged, putit is under- stood that Tammany, in high dudgeon, refuses tu be comiorted and bas as yet taken no action in selecting an inspector in its interest. TAMMANY’S PROSPECTS AT THE CUNVENTION. From the result of an interview with a promi- nent democrat, who at present belongs to neither arty, and who is ready to cry out, “A piague on both their houses,’’ tt seems, as the allegation goes, that the Green interest predominates in the election of delegates to the State Convention; that this same Andrew H. Green influence on Tammany councils is the worst platiorm in the party, and 1s sure to bring defeat to it, RSPOKTER—Mr. Green 18 nota delegate to the Convention. PROMINENT DemocraT—-No; but his righthand man, an employé in his office and one of the old Lapel attachés, is an alternate with John Kelly himself in the Eighteenth district. Augustus T. Dougherty is but Green’s proxy, and if os Ta A Aha Mr. Kelly from Stent fat the Convention Green would take his place in the person of his ‘proxy— Dougherty. Tammany ts pursuing @ suicidal pol- icy in this regard, and the people in that particular district and the working democratic masses throughout the city know it, and will desert the Tammany ship as fated to be run upon the break- ers and perish in the hands of its present leaders, REPORTER—I8 not the principal leader (Mr. Kelly) experienced, faithfully trusted and abie enough to joresee and guard against these dangers. it is said that PROMINENT DRMocRaT—Well, “whom the gods destroy they first make mad.” Another of the districts—the Nineteenth—is equally given away in the interest of Green & Co. Tom O'Callaghan managed, by packing the meeting called to elect delegates for that district, to disgust the first choice of the people there, sheriff Bren- nan, who declines to go to Utica, thus leaving it in the hana of the creatures of Green. These prefer- ences so obviously and strixingly given to the Green party in the councils of Tammany have greatly shaken faith and confidence in the leaders, and may itinistely prove their ruin through the masses in favor of Apollo Hall.

FoLsy HALL Cutgr—The reform party has been reorganized and will become a power In the con- test. They will gather to their standard all citizens opposed to party politics in local affairs. Tne old relerm party succeeded in carrying the two recent elections against the Rings and Halls, but unfor- bs | their choice of men to fill important offic: was not such as to secure all the measures of re- form demanded by the people. THE MAYOR IN HI3 BEST ENDEAVORS has made some serious blunders, for which the re- form party ought not to be held responsible, though they have been unjustly censured for them, The most unpopolar of these biunders has been his alliance with Green and his support of a policy in that important oftce that the reformers themselves denounced. REPoRTER—What would be the chance of the suc- beck of @united democratic ticket in the city and Foutey Haut Cnrer—Every chance, both in city and State, In this city all classes are aggrieved at the failure of the republican party—having the whole machinery of the law, city and State, in their hands—to punish any of the Ring oriminals during the two years they have now been in power. ‘This fact and the conviction that has come home tothe minds of all classes, that offices are only sought for the emoluments and patronage they bestow upon parties and polfticlans, has deter- mited them to ignore all party politics in future and to vote only for men whose sole aim will be to dischurge the duties of their several ofices in the interest of the people at large.

But as to the State ticket, there is a desire among ail democrats to unite on it in the hope of securing State oficers and a democratic Legislature with @ view of securing the election of SAMUEL TILDEN to the United States Senate, and building up a democratic bulwark in the State against the tide of Cesarism that threatens to sweep away all the 1¢- publican institutions of the country. THE VACANCIES IN THE CITY, There is no change in the attitude of candidates for the various offices that are to be filled in No- vember next. For the SUPREME COURT the candidates stand as we last enunciated them. With regard to the judictary, and, in fact, in all the other offices where such a policy can prevail with any advantage to the party, it seems that Tammany is opposed to revominating any of the retiring incumbents, How tar this will work advantageously or otherwise, has yet to be tested. it 1s certainly a sweeping assumption of party dic- tation, with which tne electors may be strongly inclined to Lenore Woy tried men—geod men and true— should not be permitted to claim a recogni- tion for faithful services at the hands of their con- stituents by presenting themselves for re-election 18 ONB OF THE ANOMALIRS which Tammany’s policy of late presents.

Birdsall is @ candidate. Judges Curtis and How- land are candidates both strongly urged. In the case of Judge Howland, the Tammany interdiction would not affect him if he even brought any sup- port irom that quarter, as his present occupancy of the Bench is by appointment of the Governor to filla vacancy. He has discharged his duties with pat fidelity and ability, as has also his colleague udge Curtis, and will no doubt be the nominee of the republican party. Mr. James 0. Sheehan is confidently waiting a party and popwiar recogni- tion of his strong claim ior the office. THE SHRIBVALTY. It now looks as if Mr. W. C. Connor wonld retire his claims for this office and look for his old office of County Clerk. This restricts the contest to Mr. John Fox, Mr. Bernard Reilly, W. H. Wickham and Joel O. Stevens. The latter is the present Under Sheriff. Mr. Reilly served as Deputy Sheriff under the present Tammany leader and his three successors in that office, and is, consequently, well versed in all the impertant duties appertaining to iw Mr. rOxt Boll heed appearances, however, has the inal THR COUNTY CLARKSHIP. No change in the candidacy ior this office, save that Mr, Connor has entered the lists against his competitors.

Bourke, the Irish exile, is also @ candidate, and strongly urged for a nomination by his Irish fellow citizens. few days more will clear away the difficulties in the way of presenting candidates for the Assem- bly and the Senate. The candidates are numerous, but as the fight here will be vere one, the lead- ers refrain from showing their bands, and the can- didates themselves are backward in coming for- ward until aiter the State Convention at Utica.

Confused State of Political Affairs in Brooklyn— The Re‘orm Business Bampant—The Turn in the Tide of Power—The Fights of Factions forthe Ascendancy—Of- fices To Be Filled in Novem- ber and the Candidates in Quest of Them. The condition into which “Mr. Tweedlepipe’s” mental capacities were merged upon the slightest exciting cause which chanced to cross the limited Sphere of his destiny is nothing as Compared with the “mixed condition” of matters and things in general in the small political world encompassed by the limits of Kings coun'y. In the first place there is no such thing as united party in Brook- lyn, and, in the second place, it would appear that there ts no necessity for unity during the cycle of revolution through which we are revolving upon the axieof progress, With political parties which in the past have been wont to act in concert jeal- ousies have arisen among the leaders and minor lights, which have so weakened their relative Strength that it would be worse than useless to expect anything akin to confidence in principles which they once protessed to adhere to, ‘The only principle now sought after by the captains of the great political armies of patriots who vote in the City of Churches is the princtpa share of the good things of Qficial life. These lat- ter they all crave, and while many, alter the man- ner of the veteran rogue in the “hue and cry” yell “Stop thief!” they themselves are worse than the old political rats who have fattened ana gorged themselves at the public crib, The great cloak which covers up the enormities of the “soreneads” of our students of the HISTORY OF MUNICIPAL GOVERNMENT is manufactured of shoddy material and is com- monly known as “reform.” This article of dress has beeu worn for so long a period now that it has in many instances grown threadbare and thin, and a8 such it ig sometimes seen through with the naked eye without the ald of a magnilying glass. That there exists much necessity for genuine and healthy reform in many of the abuses of the local government there can be no dqubt, but whether all tnose who are banded together under that flaunting banner are actuated by sincere and disinterested patriotic purposes 1s altogether an entirely diverse question, Many imstances might be here adduced if space would permit to show that the actuating causes of the patriots of Brooklyn reform was not purely disinterested. ‘What can you expect from a reformer when he accepts an office?” inquired a citizen while conversing upon the subject with the writer the other day. And yet how few of the po- litical purificators bave ignored an opportunity to ACCEPT THE PAP OF OFFICIAL LIFE upon the presentation of the slightest opportunity! ‘The campaigns of the past few: years all tend to demonstrate the truth of these assertions. The democracy were in the majority in Kings county for many years. Thb power they achieved they abused by corrupt means and a selfish monopoly on the part of the leaders. This could not last, and dissatisfied members of the party overthrew the “Ring.” Republicans worked assiduously, hop- ing for the dawn of the day star of their supremacy. It came with the down cry of the people against Tammany, andon the tidal wave of reform the minority rode safely into the haven of power and proiit in Brooklyn. Itéo happened that a serious obstacle to the retention of popularity smong a large portion of the ‘oid life-long adnherenta’’ of the republican party presented itself to the leaders, known as “The Three Graces,” Messrs. Dutcher, Tracy and Jourdan, There were not places sufl- cient in existence to satisty tne hungry and clam- orous horde of partisans. Last winter the leaders cooked up pap upon THE FIERY FURNACE OF PARTISAN LEGISLATION, and itis now feared that they singed the party wings somewhat by their operations in the Albany kitchen, Certain itis that the dissatisfied repub- licans are growling like @ pack of hungry bears against ‘the graces’—the ‘oficial head of whom, General Jourdan, is President of tae Departments of Police, Excise and Health. There were many places, uncharitably, perhaps, termed sinecures, created by special and charter legislation; but un- fortunately there was not enough for all. Of prom- ises in advance to “the faithful’ there was no stint; but words are but air, empty nothings in the mouths of the modern rulers of the maunici- pality, and the disappointed naturaily feel ag- grieved, The latter are numerous and influential, are banded under the flag of the ‘Bowen-Henry- Leich’’ faction. They promise to make ‘music in the air’ for the regular ‘graces,’ notwithstanding the immense patronage wielded by the Dutcher- ‘Tracy-Jourdan party. OLD NATIONAL DEMOCRATS. The old national democrats are about to enter earnestly into the arena this season, and have re- organized for that purpose. They marshalled under the leadership of Perrier Thomas Faron, Colonel E. T. Wood and Alderman Charies Wylie. They will probably nominate a full ticket and run against the regular democratic organiza- tion, ‘They will work with the Fifty, THE JEFFERSONIANS. This committee, which ran an independent ticket last year, will take a position in the field for the great struggle at an early day. The most prom- inent men in the Jeffersonian Committee are ex- County Judge James Troy and a young man named Lynch, who was an unsuccessful candidate for Justice of the Peace in November, 1872. The great contest willbe, of course, among the regulars for |. the MAYORALTY. This office is of great and vital concern to either Parties this election, as, under the new charter, the Chief Magistrate of the city is the appointing eye who shail designate the heads of the various departments of the city government, thereby se- curing to the successiul party a vast deal of patronage, The McLaughi jaction, or regular democrats—that is to say, the General Commit tee—are really in iavor of renominating His Honor Mayor Samuel Powell; but it may (and will, itis believed) be found inexpedient to take such a step. Should they ey conclude to alter their wishes in this respect their choice will be be- tween ex-Aiderman Daniel D. Whitney (Presi- dent of the Democratic General Committee) and ex-Congressman Genera! Slocum. The “back pay business’ would not, however, be favor- able as a plank in the record of the latter candi- date. Should the democrats nominate Powell then the republicans would nommate Alderman William Richardson, and the Committee of One Hundred would not endorse either of these two gentle- men. It is also intimated that, in case either of pel ee shouid be finally agreed upon, Alderman Ripley Ropes, independent republican, would receive the unanimous nomination of both party ey! democratic and republican, and, in nt, such an event, he would receive the endorsement of the One Hundred, , Ol course, be elected. The One Hundred wiil endorse no candidates who are not in nomination by October 15. It remains to be seen whether the leaders will ignore the Une Hundred’s influence by making their siates public that date or whether they will dare to ignore that body. The party leaders are watching each other upon this point with great interest. The in- dications are that the nominating Conventions wiil not meet until about October 2, however. In such an event the race, so far as the regulars would be concerned, will be between Powell and Richardson. 2 THE SENATORIAL CONTEST in the Second district, which gives about 3,000 re- publican majority, lies between ry KE. Bowen and Senator John C. Perry, the latter being backed by Jourdan and the host of patronage. Perry was elected over Pierce, democrat, two years ago by a majority of 2,000, Bowen is backed by the Henry and Leich boys of the district. “Tom Murphy” is also said to be opposing Perry’s interest, for the reason that he did not harmonize with him in Albany last winter, The voting population of this district is about 000, Supervisor Jobn Coe, “Tiberal republican,” will doubtless receive the democratic endorsement for Senator. THIRD SENATORIAL DISTRICT. This district, which embraces the Third, Sixth, Eighth, Ninth, Tenth, Twelitn Fourteenth, Six- teenth, Seventeenth, Eighteenth, Twenty-first, Twenty-second, Twenty-third, Twenty-iourth and Twenty-fifth warda and the county towns, has a votlng population Of about 45,000, ie democracy carry the district by from 6,000 to 10,000 majority in ordinary times, John G, Jacobs, the Demos- thenese of the Assembly, who has represented the Ninth district for seven separate terms, will be the nomiee of the regular democrats, and will, it is believed, receive the endorsement of “the Hun- dred." He has an excellent record as a legislator, and will doubtiess occupy the chair of Senator Henry ©. Murphy in a most worthy manner. The latter Senator, who retires to the privacy of un- retentious Se teeae Stated the other day that e¢ had “not yet named his successor,” but he will be saved that diMiculty by the popular voice in No- vember. Opposed to Mr, Jacobs is ex-Assemblyman Dominick che, of the Third Assembly district. The republicans concede the Third district to the democrats, 5 S @ REGISTER, Hugh McLaughlin, the veteran “boss of the democracy regulars, retires {rom official life this year.

SCRANTON, Pa., Sept. 27, 1873, The bodies of Mrs. O'Mara, aged sixty-five, and that of her daughter, aged thirty, were found near Montrose station, on the Delaware, Lackawanna and Western Railway, this morning, but not man- gied by trains in any way. The Coroner’s jury elicited suMcient evidence to warrant the belief that they were murdered and p ced onthe track by Daniel O'Mara, the old lady’s son, and his hired man, named Irving. Blood was found on Irving's clothes and at several points between the house and railroad track, a distance of two and a half miles, Daniel O'Mara inherited some property on condition that he would support the mother and daughter, the latter of whom was partially blind from her birth. The supposition is that Daniel killed nem to be relieved of the burden of sup- porting them. He and Irving are both held to answer.
