Tho Domocracy have deliberately thrown away every chance of winning the national election. Had they nominated Judge Criask for President and Gen. Hancock for Vice President, they might have won the day, At any rate, they would have enormously | strengthened their vote; and if their can- didates for the highest offices had, after all, failed to be elected, there would certainly | have been a great increase in the Democratic strength in Congress, and the party, inspired by new ideas and new hopes, would have | stood before the country with a cortalnty of | future triumph. But all this was rejected by the doctrinaires of the Tammany Con | vention. By nominating Governor Skymoun, they proclaimed that they wanted none but | Democratic votes ; and then by nominating Fuank Bram, they proclaimed that they did not want all of those, Putting Blair on the ticket, with his wild programme of revo. Jution and civil war, was as complete an act | of political suicide as ever was committed In this condition of things, it is doubly | Important that the Democracy of this Stato | should prove that they, at least, are capable | did not inelude any lands which th their property by the payment of the tither and rent charges which are a lien upon the lands. This last recommendation ie some. what mystified by the cable, but that part of the report which relates to tenantry on church lands is explicit enough. If adopted, it would establish the principle that it i« beneficial fora country that every farmer should be his own Iandlord. This would be in accedance with the views entertained by Stuart Mill and other advanced agrarian re- formers. If it be conducive to the public welfare for a Royal Commission to lay violent hands upon the property ofholy Church, there can be nothing profane in crossing the boun- daries of the secular estates and reforming the many abuses which there exist, If it be right to relieve a fat bishop of a portion of | his superfluous wealth, it cannot be wrong to tie up the hands of an exterminating land lord, and deprive him of the means which | | he now enjoys of working so much mischief ‘The newspapers refer to the large amount of nesets left by twenty Irish bishops, ence | the year 1822, as evidence of the over ple condition of the establishment twenty divines died wealthy, which in every mammonloving community, is regarded as a holy and plows dition of one's worldly affairs. aggregate sum amounted to £88! con: The , which y might Lave purchased, family settlements which they might have made, or any stock which they might Lave trausferred to avoid legacy duty. As matters now stand, the scale is some what turned against Disreeli and his Church and Stato dogmas. It is more than likely that the result of the approaching election in Great Britain and Ireland will abolish an of managing their businces with sense and | cdious impost, aud remove one of those griev judgment, If the power of Congress and | the spoils of the national patronage are to go to their opponents for another four years, the very life of the purty, not only here, but in the nation at large, will depend upon its maintaining its supremecy in the Empire State, Lf that should also pass away, it is | ¢ difficult to sce how the Democracy can pre: | th serve any vitality in itsorganization, or even | hold together any longer the defeated and | humiliated relics of its once famous legions, It ip true that the Den.cratic party here | ¥! press as well as on the stump, might follow with great advantage, but what is better, Mi makes his counsel to others the lab his own conduct as a public man, politician, and a vigorous and successful one, he never forgets that he is a gentleman, tioneering nitied discussion ; he combats the policy of his antagonists, but per. | sonal al #0 into the contest with enormous advanta- ges. They not only have all their own strength, but for some years past the Republicans have labored with great ability and success to add to it. By their quarrels and their management in this metropolis they have alienated thousands; by their excise laws | and their denial to the ruminatory German of the sac ed right of muddling his brain with lager bier on Sunday, they have driven at least fif y thousand voters over to the De- mocracy. One would suppose that this was enough to determine the result of every elee- | tion, and that the Democrats must triumph, no matter who their candidate or what their Programme. So they would under ordinary | cireumstances; but the revolutionary plat- | form on which, by the nomination of Blair, they have placed their national canvass, and the certainty of GitANn7’s election, imperil even their great predominanco here, and impose ‘upon them the duty of using extraordinary Pradeace, as well as extraordinary zeal and energy, in all their proceedings, The great question for them to decide is, ‘Who shall be their candidate for Governor? For this important nomination three promi- each express his 0} | in the canvass.’ This {s not only excellent as received, Mr. Spicer mixed himself, after his wife had left the room, fervesced like ordinary powders, as Mr, Spicer subsequently said; but 1 bitter, and tasted ag if it contai Within a few minutes afer taking it, he was ances which Evglish rule Las so long saddled upon Ireland. i nieaigiaeiee The Hon, Joux 'T, Hovesan eald a word of wisdow in the course of a little apeceh to a serenading party at Saratoga on Tuesday even- ing. ‘Ie trusted that in the coming political st, the ordinary acrimony and reviling of | candidates would be dispensed with; that | an, without using invective, would calmly ns and act his part honorably de the , which the advocates of ail parties, Hodinan jal rule of While he isa His elec eeches are mortels of fair and dig. | palyzes the prineiples and © and misrepresentation he never cm ploys or encourages. - — We print this morning the conclusion of | the Coroner's inquest in the case of Mr. John Spicer, who died suddenly at his residence in West Eleventh street on the 19th ult, It seems that Mr. Spieor, fecling unwell, requested his wife to send for a xeidlity powder. The messenger, his colored servant, procured it at the drug store of Mr. Frees testified and handed it to Mis.

In spite of the ef- Rivee Fie ar the einen HE, Of | fete of the medical man, Mr. Sploer died Muhe an cacctiout eavcutive officer ; either | would be an unexcepticnable candidate ; and yet, in our judgment, one of them is, for the Present purpose, #0 much superior to both the others, that there ought not to be the Teast hesitation in taking him, and letting Rie rivets wait for @ more convenient oppor tunity. ‘The great stronghold of the Democracy is New York and the candidate for Gover nor should be the man who will obteta the largest possible vote here, Is there any doubt who that man is? Not the least. It is Joun T. Horraan, Wis magnificent Majority of last December proves it, Mr, Cuncu, with all his great talents, is com- paratively a stranger here. Mr. Munvity is much betier known, but while his name is Celtic, and dear to the Irish, it has no such magic charm for the devotees of Sunday lager as the round, rolling, Teutonic Horr- MAN, Bosides, Mr. Munruy is not in any respect the man to enlist the aflections of the Germans and keep them from following their natural tendency, and relapsing into the Radical camp. Ho is a maa of eminent abil- ity and character, but he docsn't look as though Le ever drank a gallon of lager in his whole life, while the graceful and win. ning HorrMan has evidently been nourished by its wholesome and philosophical inspira tion from his earliest days, In short, if the Democrats really mean to gave New York out of the wreek of their for. tunes, let them bid for the German vote, nominate Horrmax, and put all they know | into the fight. Any other course than this will only invite the general calamity whieh | awaits them elsewhere to overwhelm them here also. Ce Church wad State in Tretand, The Royal Commission which was ap: pointed to report on the condition and opera tion of the Irish Church Evtablishment, pre. vious tothe introduction of Mr, Gladstone measniy to Lurliament, have at length bee heard from. Notwithstanding the pert! nacity of Mr. Disracli's opposition to any modicum of reform in this quarter, and the alstinate Dlockheadion gf tho Lords in throwing out the bill, the Royal Commission- ers have reported in favor of abolishing all the episcopal and archicpiscopal sees in Tre: | land, with the exception of eight, which they | recommend to be placed on reduced incomes They aro also in favor of measures that would enable tenants on church lands to purchase, at their own pleasure, the interest of their leases, so that they would become the occupiers in perpetuity. If this suggestion were carried out on a broader seale, and, instead of being confined to church property, applied to the estate of every landlord in Ireland, it would establish ® peasant proprietary, which is the mode of adjusting the | most vig in terrible agony in less than half an hour. Prof. Doremus, who analyzed the contents of the stom- Pronounced the cause of death strychnine, The question arises, how and by whom was it ad- ministered? The draggist showed that the pow- dor he sent was taken from a box containing some scores of genuine seidlite powers, all made at tne same time from the same — ingredients, out of which many had previously been sold without pernicious results, The colored MAN soya ho gave the powder as received by him to Mrs. Spicer, und ale testifies that she at once took it to ber husband, in the same condition, suve that her hand was wet, she having just left the “room to take it from the servant, and in consequence the paper was damped.

The jury would Joave it to be inferred that it was done by either Mrs, Spicer or the colored man; but if the evidence justitiod such a suspicion, why did they not say so fraukly, not stab the reputation of persons who may be the vietins of some frightful blun- dor, without giving them the means of vindica- ting their innocence, : sae Tt is alleged that among the decorations of the ball in which the recent Democratic Conven- tion of Kansas beld its sittings was a Confederate flag.
