Tharsday, Oetober 26, 1871.
The Tammany Victory at Roch= ‘ ester.
‘Mae. William M. Tweed has put
Horatio Seymour, Mr. Samuel J, Tilden, and the other protesting or reforming Democrats into his pocket,
and has buttoned them up. There
was never so humiliating and ridiculous a surrender so close upon the
heels of the most. sonorous defiance.
The reform Democrats declared that
they would expel Tammany ignominiously from the Convention.—
They proclaimed that the honest andintelligent men of the party should
' be admitted as the true representatives of the New York city Democracy, and the whole world was to
“gee that the party was not responsi“ble for the sins of Tammany. ‘And
what was the result? Tammany
eame to ‘the Convention. Directly
upon the organization it announced
that it was the only regular delegation, and the only one entitled toa
seat, but that it would of its own
pleasure waive its own unquestionable right, and that New York should
he unrepresented. It chcse not to
take its seat. It chose not to have
any other delegation admitted. It
chose to leave the city of New York,
the centre of the Democratic vote,
unrepresented in the State Convention. It declared that it did this of
its own free will; and Tammany
having thus decided what the Conyéntion should do, Mr, Horatio Seymotr and Mr. Samuel J. Tilden
bleated ‘‘Amen!’’
It is now asserted, says Harper's . .
Weekly, that the only object of the
decent Democracy was to exclude
Tammany from the Convention, and
that they didit. But itis not. true.
Tammany. declined to take the seat
which it defied the Convention to
—-eontest, and itself excluded_the-de-. —
cent delegation. And, after scornfully consenting to hear the orators
of the reform, Tammany hissed Mr.
.Pilden when he made a show of censuring corruption, and he instantly}succumbed, and did the work of
Tammany by moving to proceed to
the nomination, leaving the question
of admission unsettled. The Conyention then renominated the ticket,
with one or two exceptions, which
Tammany nominated two years ago.
We repeat, therefore, that the Convention did not exclude Tammany,
but Tammany excluded the decent
Democracy.
If. the pluck of the Convention
had been equal to that of Tammany,
it would have said that if Tammany
chose to stay out, it was tts own affair, but that it certainly should not
comicin,and that the honest and decent Democracy of New York should
be represented by the delegates it
had chosen. Why did not the Convenation do this, which, as Mr. Abraham KR. Lawrence said, was the honorable course to pursue? Betause
it feared the revenge of Tammany.
That isthe only reason. It feared
that Tammany would defeat the party in November in order to show
that its support is indispensable to
victory. And in what plight does
this conclusion leave the Democratic
gentlemen who have cried ous against
the Tammany frauds? Simply, that
while they denoungy the stealing of
money by the Ring, they wink at the
stealing of votes to secure a Demociatic majority. Tammany has
never won & more complete victory
than at Rochester; and those who
acquiesced i in it from fear of defeat
ja .the November election, have
merely succeeded in identifying their
party with the Tammany frauds.
When the war upon Tammany began, we were reproached for <impliyating the Democratic party in the
dishonesty. But the Democratic
party of New York, in its State Convention, has just suffered Tammany
to exclude an anti-Tammany delegation. The party has refused by its
action to denounce Tammany, and
ite platform is waste paper. Even
had it resolutely admitted the decent delegation to the Convention,
and taken the risk of defeat at the
election, it would have been questionable whether honest men should
= ‘yots for. candidates of any party
which is so deeply tainted; but now
that it has inclined to purge. itself,
there is no ‘question whatever. In . .
. which opposes Tammany now, as it)
has always opposed it, and which denounces its frauds at the ballot box
no less than its frauds at the. money
box, We have heard of many Deni
ocrats who, in disgust with the Rochester surrender to Tammany, will
vote for the Republican ticket, But
we have heatdof no Republican who
whatever his regret at some of the
proceedings at Syracuse, proposes
to vote for the Democratic ticket.
TreEasuRs seekers, says the White
Pine News, have met with success in
hunting for money said to have been
buried between Treasure City and
Hamilton, by a man who died near
Tem Piute. Two men (one the
brother of the deceased) engaged the
seryices of a sbiritualist, at Pine
Grove, who informed them that he
‘could find the money, $11,000. Since
their arrival they have been prospecting for the money as secretly as possible, Abner Goblen, a miner living
on Treasure, Hill reports that they
have found the money—$11,000 in
greenbacks— buried in a tin can unner a bush.
*“Give the Poor Fellow a Show.”
_ Every man is good for something
if he only strikes his forte, and Gov.
Haight is probably not an exception
to the rule. Asa Governor he was
not a success, asa lawyer we hope
he may be. ‘The TEanscriet did its
best to defeat him, but as we believe
in giving the vanquished enemy a
show, we insert free of charge the
following, which appears as an advertisement in -theSan
papers:

Tur Tammany THIkVEs To BE Pun13HED.—Charies O’Connor said recently that the work of prosecuting
the defaulters in the city was going
on well. Facts were given that show
that many who now think themselves safe from the storm, are likely
to be overthrown in spite of their
apparent bravery, and that many
who now enjoy the belief of being
perfectly secure, will be rudely
aroused by finding themselves in the
grasp of the law, and in sugh a degraded position that neither money
nor influence will have the slightest
effect in procuring their rescue. So
certain is the work that even if the
enemy knew all the movements of
the attacking party, they cannot help
being overthrown and annihilated.

" Buleide of Brown.
Biles F. ‘Brown, a native of Kentucky, about 49 yeart-of age, by profession a lawyer, committed suicide
at Virginia City on the 23d inst, at
about 3 o'clock in the morning, on
the top of the International Hotel,by
shooting himself with a pistol. He
had becomé very dissipated lately,on
account.of family troubles, and has
threatened several times during the
past few days to commit suicide. He
was last seen alive at about 10 0’clock
Sunday night. He had placed. the
muzzle of the pistol in his mouth
and probably diedinstantly. He has;
beep in the State of Nevada sirice
1860, and in Virginia City for six or
eight yeers. He was a veteran of
the Mexican war, having served in a
Kentucky regiment tifider General
Yell. He leaves a wife and three
children. Brown was formerly aresident of this city, and was—at one
time foreign miners’/tax collector.
From the Virginia Enterprise we
obtain the following additional particulars: H. L. Bobie, who left some
medicine for Brown the night before,
went to his room the next-morning,
and not finding him, and seeing the
trap door leading to the roof open, he
ascended the steps and found Brown’s
body lying* sbout twenty feet away
upon the flat roof. He was lying
upon his back, his left hand upon
his breast, and in his right he held
the pistol with which he had fired
the fatal shot. The evidence taken
before the Coroner’s jury showed
plainly that he intended to kill himself. Mr. Robie testified that Brown.
had told him a dozen times within
the past week that he intended killing himself. To Tom Buckner he
Said that it was likely something
would soon happen that would surprise him, and in that case he wanted
him te write te his brother Philip,
in Kentucky, and ask him for God’s
sake to take care of his daughter.
The verdict of the Corener’s jury was
that deceased was a native of Scynthiana, Harrison county, Kentucky,
that he was 49 years of age, and came
-. to his death by a pistol shot fired by .
his own hand. Deceased leaves a
wife and three children, one his own,
and two his wife’s by a former husband, in Virginia City. He was a
knew him, but drink brought on family troubles, and his wife having applied for a divorce from: him, he
seems to have made up his mind to
at once rid himself of life and all its
perplexities,

Perrsonat Detraction.—The Nevada TRANSCRIPT in an article under

man’s onal is public property but
his character is his own, and no one
has a right to assail the latter.”’
Speaking of the latter kind of warfare, it endorses the declaration of
its neighbor, the Gazette, that ‘‘one of
the weakest and meanest weapons
that was ever used by politicians or
any one else is pérsonal detraction,”’
and adds, ‘‘a case in point is the
contemptible attack upon John
