WILL THE WIGWAM BE REORGANIZED ? Powers of the State Committee and the Tammany Society. GOVERNOR TILDEN'S FRIENDS AT WORK Usually the local political caldron doos not begin to bubble with any degrev of intensity before the cooling breezes of iall temperatures come to refresh the fevered brows of our metropolitan statesmen, thero 1s an exception to the rule. Tho action of the St Louis Convention in nominating Samuel J. Tilden has set democratic gentlemen in thiscity to thinking of their political future, They have just awakened trom a Rip Van Winkle slumber, occasioned by the passage of hands over their vision by “Boss”? John Kelly, ‘The Tatnmany leader started out over six months ago with a vigorous personal warfare against Governor Tilden, commanders, A httle over twelve months previous Mr. Kelly and bis Tammany baud shouted themselves hoarse i adv of their gubernatorial nominee at ‘Then the rank and fle of the Wigwam—the boys who voted carly and often under Tweed and Com- pany—were forcod by their leader into an indorsement ofthe relorm candidate for Governor, ‘They found it difficult to swallow the nomination of a man who had inaugurated a terrible warfare agaist their favorite chioftain, undor whose banner fat offices had been cusily obtained and the people’s money quickly pock- eted. Now comes the change. Kelly, as his ene’ assert, wanted a pliant tool in the Executive chair—a man Who would do exactly as he required, The Tam- many boys were bungry and sighed for ail the plicos, ‘The kitchen cabinets must be provided for, Messra EB. D, Gale, F. B Spinola and others of that stripe should be looked after, The men who figured prominently under ‘Tweed’s régime in the management and.inside organ- ization of the party are still to the front Spoils of ollico are sweet, und those patriots must not be ies shetvea, Charges were made against certain of the Commissioners, The Pulice Departinent was over- hauled. Next came the Fire Commissioners. Kelly wanted their scarps, and intimated as much to the Governor, ‘The Boss came down from Albany and re- ported to his thirsty followers that all the places in this department would soon come under the sway of Tam- many Hall, But Governor Tilden had not pledged him- self directly to any positive policy in the matter of the Fire Commissioners, He wished further time to examine into the merits of the charges against them. Mr, Kelly wanied iinmediate action, He did not get it, This was the first spht between the Tammany leader and Governor Tilden. SECOND CAUSE OP QUARREL, The continued close relationship existing begween the Governor and Comptroller Andrew H, Green also displeased Kelly. ‘The latter, us it 18 well known, broke with Green two years ago, His first enmity in this quarter was occasioned by the Comptroller's refusal to dispense the patronage of the Finance Department for thé benefit of Tammany Hall, Opposition to Mr. Kelly from any quarter Or ander any circumstances creates at once a bitter enmity from that gentleman. ‘Then came the Waterbury-Havemeyer fight. Charges were made as to the legality of Kelly’s tees while act- ing as Sheriff of this county, The #inance Depart- ment contained all available records in relation to the vills, Full and iree access was given to the examiners while investigating the nature and amount of the charges. Mr. Kelly is said to have censured the Comp- troller for an apparent sanguine anxiety to furnish and color statistics m support of the accusations, This statement bas always been strenuously denied, The breach was thus perfected und the war has ever since | been kept up on both sides with unabated vigor.» Gov, ernor Tilden, it is said, was also suspected of assisting in the presentation of these figures. FUTURE POLITICAL CHANGES. Thus stands the political situation at present between Governor Tilden, Comptroller Green and Mr. John Keily, All former love and good feeling between the triumvirate have entirely vanished. The personal Vickerings engendered in this manner have grown daily in proportions until they became a barrier im- possible to be crossed unless by the absolute destruc. tion of one stde or the other, The prestige of victory at Utica and St Louis has perched upon the Tilden banner, The rumbkngs of dissolution and change al- ready begin to thunder around the ears of Tammany Halt Those who occupy the Wigwam and control its councils to-day claim that no immediate reorganization will take place. This assertion is a natural one, eoming IMPROVE from such @ souree, Reorganization of ‘Tam. low. reuts, "many Hall in, 1876 means destruction to : <== | the hopes of those who have beon working EUROPE, | ey TERLAKE. ng place for tourists from all co: tiun tor 4, : large trie: chalets Apurtm vaste Lodi thse pure atinos tween beaut air (with or withous the eure f aus phitbe: Tn th ble sojou ersuns wad invalids during spring, summer and POLITICAL.

Bernard Reilly wants to be sheriff, Augustus Schell mayor, Colonel William R. Roberts coanty clerk, and the aldormanic slate has been mapped out so as to retain a majority of the present meumbents Reorganization means death to the hopes of all those disinterested candidates, In such « contingency their small games will be scuttered to the winds and a new dispensation rule over tho land of political milk and honey. HOW TO REORGANIZE, It is not goneraily understood how a reorganization’ of the Tammany democracy can be brought about. The fe Central Committee may recommend such a course, but they have nothing whatever to do with directing what change shall be made. The way to getat it is by a vote of the Sachems of the Tammany Society. If a majority should order a reorganization of the General Committee then the fat must be obeyed. It | will be recollected that the Tammany Society owns the building in Fourteenth street, and under permis+ sion of this organization the Tammaoy Hall General Committee meets ii that locality aud transacts all po- litieal business tu its rooms. ator John Morrissey said, at the that the Tammany democracy “ain't nothing but a building.” Then, alluding to their rules, be further remarked that the orgatization was absolutely controlled by Mr. Jobu Kelly. No one was admitted within the sacred portals Without the sunetion of the “Boss,” and all Opposed to his personal government in any way were isabriet summary of Tam- Uuea Convention last April, many as it 84 ¢ THK SACHEMS’ POSITION, vast April the new Bourd of Sachems wes installed at Tammany Hall with allthe pomp and circumstance peculiar to that singular body. The slate was made out by Mr. Joli Kelly, ‘lo-day the eyes of politicians aro anxiously turped in searching analysis ot the probable position of those gentlemen ws regards Gov- ernor ib and Mr Jubn Kelly, If the Governor is pie to control a majority Vote of these Sw hems a new tion of the General Committee can be ordered. the obnoxious and rebellious now deal, ‘Tried and ‘The lopped off in th men might be placed at the hea of the each Assetnbly district, and the corrupt Tw fastened like barnacies to the democratic party in ity, effectually cut oi from further represeuta- ‘A glance at the names of the General Committee this tion, fi many of the distnets will show that many of ‘Twoed'’s former henchmen still rule as ward and. dis- trict leaders and monopolize many of the tat offices, Is it not Lime to pul oP eba to this state of alfairs? THE TILDEN SACHEMS, A prominent politician, with whom conversation was beid by the Hera gave it as bis decided opinion thata majority of the euchems could now be found to vote for reorganiwation, He gave their names as follows:—Mayor Wiekbam, rit Conner, Henry 3.

There is no doubt but Governor Tilden and friends control the state Committee, with Daniel Magone; Jr.. at its head. This is the great central muctine which manipulates the nominations at State Conventions. In a few days this committee will meet and issue a call for the next State Convention, which will probably be held in the frst week in September.

This Stare Committee can exercise a strong moral intlucnce over the councils of the democratic party in this city, Republicans congratulate themselves (hat Yammany will only give a lukewarm support to,the St. Louis nominees, ‘The Police Commissioners, com- posed of two Tatmmany and two Custom House repub- licang, exercise an immense intiuence in determining the result of the bailot in this city. y control the | appointment of election inspectors, Tammany may cretly coucitde to defeat Tilden in tbis State by form x an underhand alliance with the republicang The machinery of the Police Commission eould be brought into play with telling effect in this connection. The secret history of legislative work in Albany bears unmistakable proof of corrupt bargains between Yammany Hall and the republican party. | Tweed first successfully maugurated those combins- tions. The exemple has been followed by Mr. Jobu he session of 1875 and 1876 proved this fact conclusively. A game of chess bas beea going on | during those periods between Comptrolier Gree ry Tammany.

THE RUMORED TILDEN SLATE, It is given out by some of Tilden’s friends that M Edwara Cooper is their choice tur Mayor and Mr. Ai drew H, Green for Governor. It 18 claimed that the re- form canvass ot Mr. Tildon would be oreditably supple- menied in the nomination of Mr. Green for Governor of the State of New York. The political life of ihe astute head of the Finance Department, it was whis- pered by some of the Tammany Solons, would cease alter the 20th of November next. They based their wise prophecies on the failure of the disgraceful Legis- lature of 1876 to pass a bill extending the Comptroller's term of office. But now with the elevation ot Tiden ax the Presidential nominee of the democratic party, and the defeat of Tammany, Mr Green bas suddenly be- come a poltical power, ‘His chances for the guberna- torial nomination are, thereiore, put down a3 excel- Jent. But then other statements go out that Governor Sey- mour may be induced to bead the State ticket with Dorsheimer lor Lieutenant Governor. Should Tilden reach the White House Seymour goes to the Cabinet and the Buftalo statesman takes up his residence at the Executive mansion in Albuny. FOR AND AGAINST TILD&N, Hartford Courant :—*‘Mr. Tilden can now rise and explain why the Sheriff who allowed Tweed to escapo has not been removed from oftice. There was a fine chance for some genuine reform work.” Oswego (N. ¥.) Gazette:—“This nomination 1s a com- plote vindication of the earnestness of the liberal do- mocracy in the cause of adininistrative reform agaist tho aspersions of the corrupt leaders of the republican party.’? Lowell (Mass) Courier:—“Wo believe there never has been a greater fraud in the reform movement than Governor Tilden, of New York, and we are confident that the people of this country will see to it that no such man Is placed in the Presidential chair. With the notorious John Morrissey as his best man at St, Louis, and other blacklegs and thieves among his loudest and most earnest supporters, it will turn out long before November that Tilden reform is not what the voters of the country want. ”” Rochester Ezpress:—“The democratfe platform is astump speach. It 1s not without strenuth and effec- tive points for its purpose, but it loses dignity and | docency in the heat of its partisanebip. Some of its statements are false on their face, while others are verbaily true with the spirit of falsehood underneath.” Newburg (N. Y.) Telegraph:—“The platform adopted at St. Louis is one of the most complete declarations of principles, in the shape of a solemn arraignment of the republican party for its crimos and weukness, that has evor been the duty of a national convention to presont for the consideration of votera We invite every reader to read and ponder upon its merits.*” Cincinnatt Gazette:—“It will be easy to prove, upon the best of democratic authority, that Tilden is a rail- road pirate, a swindler, a jobber, a mock reformer and @ practicai intlationtst, This simplities the republican programme.” New Haven Falladium:—‘“The difference between Governor Hayes aud Goveruor Tilden was strikingly exemplified in the way each received the news of his nomination forthe Presidency. rernor Hayes be- haved like a modest gentleman ; Governor Tilden like a mountebank who had just received a large order for his quack medicines, ‘The people wanted reform,’ said Mr, Tilden, ‘and they have come to the right shop for it Iam the only patentee of the original articlo, warranted to cure the most desperate cases.’ “” Philadetphia (Forney’s) Press ;—“The democracy do- mand reform, Mr. Tilden means reform, and se does Mr. Hendricks. And the republicans mean reform. The latter admit that great mistakes have beea made in their own party, They do not protect thetr sinners, but they deny that the democrats can cure the evils of the times, ‘They concede all the personal merits of forming remedics they do not look to the party that made the rebellion by trying to torce slavery into the ‘Verritories.’” Cumberland (Md.) News :—-*We do not believe the de- mocracy did their best, by a good deal, in the nomina- tron of Goveruor Tilgen yesterday, He was so bitterly opposed by the powerlul Tammany organization, as | wel! as by the Cineinnati Eaquirer aud other miluen- | tial soft-moneyites in the West, that it will not be in the nature of things to reconcile the conflicting eie- ments in the ranks of the injarmonious democracy with Mr. Tilden as tho leader.” * Washington (D. C.) Star:-—“Mr, Hendricks, like Mr. ‘Tilden, is a man of large experience in public affairs, and, like the latier, @ of high personal character. An | element of weakness in Mr, Hendricks’ candidacy will | be the disaffection to him of German voters on conse- quence of his signing a coercive temperance bill while Governor of Indiana.” Harrisburg (Pa.) Matriot:—“Overriding by his splen- did toliowing the two-thirds rule, whieh has been tital to Jess popular men, Mr. Tilden vaults into a leadership to which he trings all the resources of high character and inteilectual greatness, The foremost man has been placed in the foremost place, ”?

I A HOTEL KREPER KILLED BY A PEDLER—AN OLD SCORR PAID OFF—CAPTURR OF THE MURDERER—-CORONER'S VERDICT. [From the Utica Herald, July 7.] A terrible and most singular murder in cold blood waa committed at Earlville, Chenango county, at balf past eleven o'clock Wednesday night, redulting in the unprovoked murder of William H. Jones, proprietor of the Earlville House, a native of Boonville and tormer résident of Clinton and Hamilton. Information of the tragedy reached this city at anearly hour yesterday morning. A Herald reporter drove to Earlville, and, with our Norwich correspondent, obtained the details of the murder, which is one of the most remarkablo of cases in the annals of crime, Matthew Brady, the murderer, got upon the train at Norwich, Wednesday, aboat fifteen minutes past seven P. M. He got off at Kariville, proceeded to Brown’s Hotel, which is opposite the Earlville House. He remaiaed about the place until half-past nine P, M., when he asked N. Brown, the proprietor, for a glass of lager, which he drank and paid for, He then inquired the price of lodging and breakfast, and Brown said, “As you look like a labor- | ing man I will give you a good bed and breakfast for seventy-tive cents.” Brady paid the amount from a two dollar note and pocketed the change. He carried | | with him a large oilcloth bag, which he pushed under | the bar, saying, ‘*l guess that will be all mght there,” | and tuen left the hotel, The next that was noticed of Brady he was sitting im the barroom of the Karlvile | House, He called tora glass of beer, which he drank | and paid for, He was nearly or quite alone in the bar- room for some titne. Mr. Jones, the proprietor of the house, was standing upon’ the steps of tho | hotel about twenty minutes past eleven P. M. ‘The Townsend theatrical troupe had played in the village that evening, and he had been sisting bis guests into their carriages. When all were gone he stood. leaning against one of the pillars ofthe porch, William Hamhn, a gentleman with a | erippled arm, standing close to him, Hamlin noticed 4 strange man in the barroom, apparently reading. In amoment Brady cume out, passed closo to Jones, Placed a seven shooter over Jones’ heart and fired, passing away without a faint display of haste. Hamlin saw the glitter of the barrel of the revoiver as Brady dropped his band after firing, and exclaimed, ‘My God! Are you shot, BillyY? Jones replied, ‘No, I am not shot, Billy.”’ He then walked a few feet to the | north end of the stoop with Hamlin, and as they saw Brady passing and disappearing behind the west side of the Felt block he said, ‘Who is that man #”” and Ham- | lin told him he did ‘not know. In a moment or two Jones put his hand to his breast and exclaimed:— “Mty Gop, 1M sHoT!” He reeled around and started to go into the barroom and fell against the door. An alarm was given and a crowd of excited people congregated in and about the hotel, The wounded and dying man was carried to his bed and within three or five minutes breathed his last, During the excitement r ; ‘THE MCRDRRER STOLE AWAY, and search was made tn vain. A descriptive hand bill was immediately printed by aid of a hand press owned by a citizen, and couriers were sent out as quickly as possibie to distribute them im all the places in the vicinity. CAPTURED WITHOUT TROUBLE. About five o'clock yesterday moruing the murderer | made his appearance at Hopson’s Hotel, Sherborn, about five miles trom Earlville. He rapped at the door and Mr, Hopson, who had received one of the hand- bills during the’ night, immediately recognized nim. Joseph Bryant, a butcher, son of Deputy Sheriff Bryant, stood near and Hopson tola bim to arrest the murderer. THE MURDERER ADMITS 118 GUILT. Brady said to Bryant, ‘I am the man who shot Billy Jones! Here's my revolver! Byrint took the weapon and locked Brady op When arrested the murderer was very talkative. He said be had worked with Jones’ father im Boonville twelve or fourteen years ago at woodchopping. He said he was NEITHER DETNK NOR CRAZY, but went to Earlville ic. > purpose of committing the | deed to satisiy old gru 5 against Jones and his father; he was gind that he had done it, as it had given fim great relief, He claimed that he was mis- used by the deceased in Earlville ve years ago. | ONE GRUDGE. originated in this way, He said he went to Brown’s Hotel about five years ugo und that Billy Jones recog. nized bim as a former workman 0: his father ana urged hitn to come over to the Farlwile House, as he was glad to see him, He says Jones'treated bim we ‘vat during the evening, while Landlord Brown and a party of boys were standing around, Jones threw a glass or pail of water over him. This enraged bim | greatly. and he swore that he would be revenged. ANOTHER GRUDGE, Landlord Brown wont to Sherburne early yesterday morning to identify the murderer. He went into bis ceil and saw that it was the man who had engaged lodgings the previous night. In reply to his ques- tions Brady said he shot Joues intentionally, and bad purchased the pistol for that purpose, He said coolly :—*l would have shot vou (Brown) as. quick as { did Jones if | had a chance, because you and Jones drove me out of the house five years ago, threw water ‘on me and allowed the boys to make fan of mo!” He continue 1 intended to shoot myself after killing Jones, and thus relieve myself; but afterward [tought 1 would live, give myself up, and tell the world why Tdid it, then t will te ready to suffer the penalty ot the Jaw’ I have suffered in my heart {rom this matter for twelve or fourteen years and it has hurt me.” The last remark applied to a side ex- pression that he had another grudge against Jones’ father which originated when he worked in Booneville, Mr. Brown informed our reporter tat he did not re- member of ever having seen Brady belore, and certain- ly knew nothing about Jones throwing water on him— in fact he did not believe that anything of the kind ever occurred, OTHKR ATTEMPTS, At one time he satd: “Why, I have tried to kill Billy several times before this, I was at his house five or Six weeks ago, just after buying the pistol, and thought Tcould settle the matter then forever, but Jones was away trom home.” All these statements were made coolly and voluntarily, as if speaking of a bargain or business arrangement. TAKEN TO NORWICH. Atono time it was proprosed to bring Brady to | | Eariville, but threats had been made that be would be suminariiy dealt with if brought back, and Sherif Brown took him to Norwieh. The village was in a state of intense excitement ail through the day, and there 1s no doubt the murderer would have received rough treatment tt he had been within reach.
