Ever since the commencement ct the trials of the cases against the whiskey ring thieves these arrant knaves have lieen dailr ehaririuircoiniilicitr in the frauds azainst whatsoever official their malignity prompted them to li bel. Thus, the President, his broth er, his son, Secretary Pristow, ex- Commissioner Douglass, Senators Morton and Logan, P.rooks, the great detective who worked up the cases. and at leant a Ecore of others less conspicuous but not less worthy men, have, day by day, been charged, some explicitly, others by lauendo, with participation in these frauds, without any cause, even the sligh.'est, whereon to base the imputation. Such a foul cloud of slander and villifka investigation is asked of the frauds and outrages whereby Mississippi was secured to the Democratsfit i shaking the bloody shirt." Appa rency so thinks the Philadelphia Timrf. Ax anti-third term resolution was passed in the House last week by a vote of two hundred and thirty-two to eighteen. That ghost being laid, we now Lope to bear no more bab ble about the absurdity. There is great chuckling among the Democrats over Mr. Maine's not voting on the resolution. As however, that gentle man is a recognized candidate for the Republican nomination, there would have been manifest indelicacy in his voting on a question in which he has so direct a personal interest. The Confederate Drigadiers in Congress gallantly led the Democrat ic host to the breach on Tuesday of last week when Mr. Fort proposed that in the selection of officers of the House wounded Union soldier should le given the preference. No! no! yelled the Confederate soldiers and their D mocratic followers. A rote was refused and the resolution was promptly referred to a committee, where it w ill never ece the light again. Meanwhile the appointment of Confederate aoldiers to the posi tions goes bravely on.

New York, December 18, Itt. A tTEP FOEWAEU There is something in public opi" ion after all. Even the reckless ad venturers who have control of the Democratic parly of this city have discovered that they have not the moral strength to brave the indigna tion of the whole city, and they are letting down. The crushing, over whelming defeat that Tammany met with in November, has hd its effect. Tammany will, in a week, be Tam many no longer, for its chief strength will be shorn away.

If this i9 accomplished, down goes Tammany. The few kid-gloved gentry who were willing enough to rule the unwashed membership so long as they did not have to associ ate with tbem, will go out in disgust, or, if interest forces them to remain, the ardor on both sides will rapidly cool. You might as well expect oil and water t mix, as the unwashed Sixth warder and the elegant Fifth avenue politician, who wauts not on Ir the spoils, but iufluence in political circles far removed from its dirty source. Interest will hold some of them, but when the grimy privates and perfumed officers come together, there will be trouble. Pat, when he rets a voice in the management will not be content with the ecraping3 of the pot, but will insist upon his share of the solid meat, which heretofore his owners have monoiwlized. And when A. Fitz-Hugh Jones, Esq, of r.t 1 K Olu avenue, i cumptircu w m shoulders with Dinnis O'Flatberty, and not only that, but divided with him, Jones goes out.

Two hundred and thirty-two fearless souls rushed to the encounter, and the fright ful spectre incontinently ranisbed into tbioair. Tbat dog's dead, what are yoa pouodinghim cow for? said Tom to Bill, who was industriously dabbing a defunct canine. I know he is, was tie reply, but I intend to give Lun a realizing sense of the future. So, with our Avigbty Congressmen. The third term luoQster was &Iaio, months eiaee, by the preaidct'5 let ter to General While, and now its spook has beea giweu a realising :nse of tie hereafter. Yire la fc3i- Zug! Ex-Senator Heniersn, of Mis souri, who, by and with the advice of the President, was employed to assist in the prosecution of the whis key riDg thieves at St. Louis, in his address to the jury in the Avery case, travelled out of the record to make a wanton attack upon the Pres ident, more than intimating tbat he was a party to the frauds. For this unprofessional aud outrageous con duct, it was determined by a unani mous vote in cabinet counsel, to dis pense with his further services, and the Attorney General so telegraphed bim. Thereupon the "Independent" and Democratic press set up a simul taneous howl ever the matter and are charging frantically that this re moval was made because Henderson knew too much, aud that the Presi dent was afraid that some of his favorites would be convicted. It happened, however, that it was not in accordance with the President's wish merely, but by the unanimous desire of the Cabinet, including Sec retary Bristow.who has so relentlessly pursued those thieves, that Hender son was removed. In his place James O. Broadhead a leading Dera ocrat. personally opposed to the Presi dent, and an abler lawyer tban Hen derson, in .fact the ablest criminal lawyer at the St. Louis bar, has been retained. District Attorney Dyer, who had done all the hard work, pro cured the indictments, and the con fessions which is tlit burthen of the testimony, and had prepared, and knew all about the cases before Hen derson cime in, still has charge of tbem, and basjust been confirmed by the Senate; so the hullabaloo over Henderson's removal is the merest nonsense, and only shuws to what desperate straits the enemies of the President are driven for political capital. Never did the Democrats under take a harder task than when tbey set out to persuade the public tbat the removal of Henderson for slan denng the President was the end of the whisky ring prosecutions. He still abides by his peremptor order, "Let no guilty man escape. The prosecutions are being- pushed with greater rigor than ever, andtb eventual result will be that this basest of the attempts of the Democricy to injure the President will only recoil upon their own heads. irection : one urm Las an orchestra, which plays during the evening; notber has in illuminated exnioi- tion of mechanical dolls, and n, third evotes three bay-windows lo pass ages of doll life.

I bere is always a crowd round the windows, and children are by no means the largest part of them. CHARITT FAIR.. Some sort of a fair is being held in almost every ward. The largest is in aid of the Jewish hospital, one of the largest and best conducted in the city. This fair is held at the Hippodrome a bewildering building in its present state where fans, dolls, smoking sets, lounging chairs and such necessaries of life, are dealt by some of the handsomest women in the city. The most superb beauty, as well as the greatest wealth, is found among the Jewesses of the better class, and nowhere is dress more gorgeous. The managers of the fair bad a large number of valua ble articles to be raffled for, but they were warned by the city authorities that if lotteries and raffles formed part of the attractions at the Fair tbey would be dealt with according to law, the officials deeming it unfair to apply the law agaiast gambling in oie set of pases, and not in another. TITIC LACK or WORK. A respectable mechanic waa arrested the other day for stealing something outside of a store to get bis wile aoa three children food to eat, as be had been unable to get wok for week?. The bricklayers' association have pe titioned the Common Council to give them work to keep their families from starving, and the Department of Public orl.s is to push ahead all enterprise possible to afford this re lief. CRUELTY. A strange malignity seems begot ten by the cruelty of the times. A boy of sixteen tried to burn bis fath er "and mother in bed by pouring ker osene round them and setting fire to i' Kerosene, lor.once, failed to ex plode and kill the user. A Jersey couple ware arrested for killing their little bor of six. by cruel treatment. His stepmother, a Southern woman of frightful temper, told a neighbor they were going South before winter, but she meant to bury the boy first. His arm was once broken by rough treat ment at home, and he wasaaoljectof pity among the neighbors for the con tinual beating by which he was tor mented. About two weeks ago he went to school frightfully bruised, and seeming stupid, instead of bright and active, as usual. When ques tioned he said he didn't dare to tell what bad hurt him. His little sister said the stepmother knocked him down with a piece of board, and kicked him about the house. A neighbor took him in, but his brutal father cime for him, scolding the child for not going home. A bed was made for him on two chairs, be fore the fire, where be lay a few days till he died. When the poor little body was dressed for the grave, it was found covered with welts and bruises from the waist to the feet. The story is but one of the dark aud harrowing tales tbat might be told ' f the lonesome couutry districts within twenty miles of the metropolis, where brutality and low passions go un noticed. In the city tbey cannot be hidden. THE ESCAPE OK EOSS TWEED Has been a nine day's wonder, and is almost forgotten. It was no escape at all bis prison doors were opened by the officials whose duty it was to keep bim in custody, and be walked off. He could have gone any time the last three years he went when be did, doubtless by the advice of his lawyers. The prosecu tions the city was pressing against him were closing about him the most important were to come on in a few days, and the Boss, realizing that he had no h"pe. walked out through the door he had always kept open, and ranisbed. The Democratic sher iff and his assistants are responsible for his escape, and Gor. Tildcn will be forced to bold tbem to an account. But as they have all been doubtless paid beavilr, little do ther care. hver since tbe great chiel has been in Ludlow street jail, he has been permitted to go out whenever he choose, with a deputy or two, and be has lived more of the time at his home on Madison avenue, and the up-town hotels, than be has been in his prison quarters. When hia time come to run, be went out as usual, with two deputies be went in a car riage to bis bouse tbe deputies stay ed in tbe carriage in the most accom modating way, till be didn't return. Then these innocent fellows, after waiting two hours aad searching tbe bouse which they knew he was not in, which consumed another hour raised tbe alarm. In the meantime, a steam yacht was lying in tbe East River, coaled and provisioned. Doubtless the Boss walked through bis own bouse into tbe street beyond, got into a carriage in waiting, was driven to this yacht and in three hours was decentlr out on tbe bosom of tbe ocean. Or, be bad plenty of time to get into secure biding in tbe citr, from which he can take his de parture at his convenience. Tbe po lice demonstrate once more their in efficiency or corruption, by finding no trace of him the sheriff's officials are even worse one-half the Democra cy grin with ill-concealed delight at their chiefs escape, and the others are rexed as tbey think of tbe politi cal capital this escape furnishes against them. I predict that tbe Boss will nerer be taken. Those who assisted in his escape don't want him to come back to daim any of the property they have got their claws upon. Ihe miserable old man is abroad by this time, and he will probably stay there till he dies tbe companion of a weeny, Connolly and Genet, bis accomplices. Would tbat some of the present offi cials would go and do likewise, be fore tbey have quite bankrupted the citr. It is said, that David Dudley Field, lawyer of the Boss, advised his flight The bondsmen of tbe sheriff are shir ering in their shoes, for the city will at once proceed against them.
