trigue which had, for twenty-one ballots,
artfully `;played prominent, _aspirant
against anOther, until the object of the in
triguers,--the slaughter of PENDLETON and
HANcocs— had been neatly and effectively
accomplished. The Convention had sat for
six days, including Stmday, which seems to
have been a Democratic working-day. The
Southein and Western delegates were equal.

scheme a'nd combination, which could stand
in Mr. 13Entorolt's way, had been blown up
and shivered to fragments, and the delegates,

never be forgotten. 'HORATIO SEYMOUR
was the very man, of all others, who was
conspicuously responsible for this abortive
treason. And froin that day forward, he
has stood convicted of its guilt. His har

authority, his undisguised hostility to the
National efforts to

was ozever able to, conceal, whether as a
citizen l • Or•as Governoi of his State—and
his subsequent sympathies with the con-,
tintied,reltel, opposition to the reconstruc
tion of their States in the interests , of
,
loyalty,—certainly 'nothhig • more is
-needed to show that the Democracies of
1860 and. 1868 are identical, and that SEY
moult fitly represents them both.
Our political history does not record an
intrigue more selfish and, shameless than
this, which has achieved hii nomination at
the expense of the; other candidates and, as
he has himself acknowledged, of his own
honor. But this is purely a Democratic af
fair, and we feel no concern in it,, except to
congratulate our Republican friends upon
that actierC oar 4ippiitneuts which,
dis
honored';by ita own admissions noir, will
in .due time be sttll more effectively con
demned by the popular voice.
The; same party has nominated Mr. F. P.

the dissatisfactions, the heart-burnings and
aversions toward the" ticket, which have
heretofore embarrassed the Republican ac
lion; have resti:ted almost ex - elusively from
allegations of misconduct against the dele
gates. Year after year, the ticket has been
assailed, with more or less persistent acri
mony; as the product of log-rollini combi
nations, by which minorities among dele
gates are charged with parcelling out among
themselves the o ffi ces whiCh ni ter of them
hashed the separate strength to secure. It
is not to be wondered at that the friends of
Al who has really more votes'than any
offier man -for a nomination, should com
plain-it - finding themselves beaten by an
opposition which secures a majority sup
port by going for 13, C and D, for the other
offices which they respectively desire, Con;
tendons organized in thisway_ have come
to be too often controlled by "rings," thus
made up among.the espirantawho are really
less prominent, and who could never have
secured, respectively, majorities of the dale-
gates upon a square popular vote.
It would be well Tor the Committee to I
conilder ; not only the expediency, but the
need, in fact, for breaking up this faulty
and dangerous propensity, to ring-tactles
and log-rolling. 'They will be entirely right
in concluding that any Municipal ticket,
each of the candidates upon which is fairly
and undeniably placed thereon by the pref
erence of a majority of the Republican
voters attending the primary meetings, will
be cordially and triumphantly sustained by
the hearty and undivided votes of the Union
Republicans of this city. No such ticket
will ever be bolted, scratched or defeated.
With such a ticket, the polls in this city will
invariably.open with , the Republicans con
fident and cordially. united, and will as reg-'
ularly close upon swelled and still welling
Republican majorities . And with that con
clusion, the Committee should have no hesita
tion in recommending the amendment of the
old system, in such partieulatsand to such
an extent as shall the most faithfully con
rduce to the more - cOrdial solidarity of the
`:Republican party in-Pittsburgk.
Quite sure as we are that thiasiihject will
receive die consideration froncthe Commit
! tee, -we deem •it not improper to suggest
I that the Republicans of Philadelphia, mak
ing the Same objections ea 'ablicilai system
I which had for years dragged down their
local politics frOM bad to worsen until the
most diaastrofis results to the party were
threatened, have recently devised and ap
plied a remedy of the most radical and effi-
cient character. They revised their Con
vention system so as to cat this log-rolling
business up by the roots., Their Executive
Committee, abandoning the old plan of one
Convention and tie set of delegates for fill
ing the nominations to all the offices, adopt
ed' the simple, natural and moat effective
alternative, by ordering the assemblage, on
the same day and hour, of separate Conven
tibna, and delegates for earn office. The
effect of this action- was magical. Thirty
three different Conventions' assembled, each
of their hating,but one office to consider,
and all but one of these aocomplished its
work, promptly and harmeniously. ' The
exceptionresulted in a schism, butthis con
erned - one office only; as to the other thirty
4wO, these -: schismatics were as entirely
agreed as . any
,of the party, and their split
has itself already been healed by' the,
.withdrawal Cli" ' both candidates, and
that Contention will re•assemble to
make ,another nomination. Here 'was
one of the beauties of the new system, that
even a split upon , one, office could not ex
tend to the rest of the ticket, : which the other
delegates 'had hannoniouSly agreed upon.
We have said thd effect was magical. For
the first time in the 'politics of that city, a
great party had accomplished its nomina
tions without leaving an element of dissatis
faction and. weakness behipd. Every name
upon it was placed there by a majority of
the delegates fairly , elected upon a square
vote. Log-rolling was played out com
pletely. If it existed at all, it was in the . ,
primary meetings, where it could-do little
11Fra, as long as thes.neople were there to
watch it . and ha;ie . a hand in it. And, as

A MYSTERY, AND A REVELATION.
On Tuesday night, alter six neffectnal
ballotmgs in the Conyention, iL' became
evident that the powerful New York dele
gation, with such interests as they could
control in the other States, entertained same
mysterloukpurlxiSe'as to the nomination to
beinades. mystery •ao`impenetrable that,
beyond the intent to defeat PENDLETON,
nothing more r,ould,,be divined. Specula
tions were rife as to the preference which
they would ultimately disclose; some opin
ions led one way and some still another,
the belief that Cintsz. Was.really, their fa
yorite perhaps predominating. True, XT.
SEYMOUR had been spoken of ; but he had
repeatedly, the last time from the very plat
' form of the Convention, declined the honor,
absolutely declaring that he could in no
event be a candidate. It was insisted in
some quarters that this refusal might be
withdrawn, but the public finally agreed
that he was out of the field, and that his
name would not solve the mystery. That
night, riding in the Central Park, his friend,
Mr. PETER CAGGER, the most conspicuous
and influential political manager of the Now
York Democracy, was thrown from his can.'
riage and almost instantly killed. A. re
porter says :
Just before the catastrophe, and yet when It was
Inevitable, Mr. Cagger le reported to have exclaim
ed, "This Is the last of. it. John. But tell them to
stick to Seymour, it power," These were his last
words. ' : : • '
His companion, Mr. JOun E. DisviaN,
survived, although fearfully hyrt, to report
those last words. The 'bated breath of the
dying politician revealed the whole pur
pose of the NeW York .Democracy. Their
game had been played, from first to last—
and he kneNrit, for he had been its control
ling spirit-to secure the nomination of
Horan° 'l3rvasonn. That was a fin e stroke
of finesse; allowed the public to be
deluded with the idea, that CHAsn - would be
the beneficiary of their perfected designs; a
game with only that cbject would have been
shallow, too palpable to suit these adroit poli
ticians.' The candidate's own reiterated
declinationswere but Cassn's thrice put

road, which left Erie at 7.40 last evening,
broke through a bridge over French creek,
about three-quarters of a mile east "of
Union. Mills. The engine, tender and bag

senger cars went through= the bridge, the
bind car running on top of the other, mak

five feet of• water in the creek.
The following• is the list of the killed:
Mrs. J. A.Peese, Flat Rock, Seneca county,
Ohio, and her two children, aged two years
and tough months, and fourteen months;
