THE ROANOKE NEWS. THURSDAY OCTOBER, 0, 187'J. WHAT IS THE TAMMANY SOCIETY ? Chicago News. In Mnv, 1708, sociuty waa organiz.'d inNuwYork and christened ' St. lam niany Society, oj Independent O.der id t i. rii." tie existence ol w He h wca announced as "being an American society to cnmdat of native born who fill all offices, and adopted Americans who arc eligible to posts of w&irior an ) hunter." The list ol omcers and memtieia pub lished at that date givea do name ot prom iocneo, most ot tbero bting email tiadcs men ad manufacturers, It ia supposed the original intent of tha fneiety was to counteract the aristocratic teudcoclo ol Cincinnati, of which Washington waa the head. This feature attracted to the Society Aaron Burr, who was the first man of aoj note who connected himself with it. True it is that the 8 cuny warmly espoused his cause iiu I nppo-ed Mr. Ilimilton. It was not long before the Sooiety started by shocmakrra and carpen tors attracted Bimio nttcntinn and called into it J. (). Hoffman, then an emluer.t lawyer, end he was immediately followed by such men as C. C. Golden, the 8art wouts, Ben Romanic, Judah Hammond, au 1 others, who were, or soon became, magnates in the Republican (uIihi fj'iein ly tho Democratic) party. In the second year ot its ae it cliaoyed its name by drop ping "8 ma of Liberty," aud a hile a'Ur the "8t" disappeared, and at lat thu (society received its legal baptism an I was incorporated in 1805 as ''The Taunnniv Society ; or, Colombian OMer," v;hi.:b ia its name to-day. In older to bu unmis takably American the Society was divided into t'ibis rcp-escnling the original thirteen States, and each havj the mm'.' of an animal. Nev Y' rk was the Eagle; New Hampshire, the 0:ter; Rhode Island, the Beaver, etc. Il doe not appear that the Society was started as a partisan ortfaniz ition, but lu tho e eailv days patty ppiiit ran hij;h and the men who made Hie Boe'i'tv could not lie kuiit out of politics. In 1800 Jiffisraon and But were cindt.. dates for the presidency, but the year liilnre the Fjder. lists had cairivd New Yolk. Under the lead of Tammany, Bmr carried the city ot New York i.i 1800 which pro luced a tie. in the Electoral College between the two aspirants. In this election Tammany commenced i s jtricks to cheat the people at eleciions which have been improved !n time. In New Ymk there waa then a proprty q laltbction far vo'erj, an I only real estate owners could vote. It) this election innney, was furnished by t c S cicty to buy houses, and one had no Icps than seventy-five owners, another had lliitty nine, and so on. Among the young men who were thus ma fe voters, and alter wards became famous were Gov. Tomp kins and W. P. Vm Ness, Thomas Swartwout, Edward Ft'iris and John D, Broom. Oa the 27:h ot September, 1837. the Societv noiniuatcd Gen. Jackson !o tho presidency and ardently supported him. In the city ol New York Tammany 8 cie y h is for many years had control The tiri-t Common Council elected afier the Society was formed had two ,f tho tube as members. This continued until 1821 aud Irom that time until 1833 the Sieietv bad completely the upper hand in a'l charter elections. In 1833, 1837. 1833 and up to 1844, Tammany was gcncrr:y de feated. Up to 1806 the Society h is h id about its share of cifii '.i il spoils. It was under Fernando Wood, in 1359, th d Tammany uudertook to control pany machinery by declarinj that all conven tions ol the party mnt bo held iu Tam many H ill, wliwb resulted in a f plit in tho Society, Wood tunning ono and Gunther the other wing. Tho sorriest ex perience ol the Society was with Tweed, who ciutured lie party machinery, and how ho managed it every ono knows. Tne Society has a membership of not ever 800, and a large propoiii.in aie iuacive. The Societv has retail. ed its p wer Irom the fact that it has been managed with thu most consumm do ability. It is con trolled by a board of thiiteen saolie ns whohave been men o! great' abi't'v, and are not responsible for anything but results. PRESSURE ON THE BRAIN. An Ame icau medical man was called one day to see a youth, aged idgbii ti. who had been struck down insensible oy the kick of a horae. There wi.g a de pressed fracture of the fkoll a hire above, the left temple. The skull was trephined. nd the loose It abluents ol bono that pressed upon the I riin wee removed, whereupon the patient came to his senses. The doctor thought it a good opportunity to make an experiment, as there waa a holt in the skull through which he could easily make pressure npon the brain. He asked tile boy a questiou, and btt'oic tli ve was time to answer it he pressed li oily with hia finger up on the exposed tvain. As long as tlie pressure was kept up the boy was mute, but the instant it as tern ved he made a reply, never .'iiapecting that In had not answered at once. The i xpeii meDt wi8 repeated several times with precisely the same resu't. the boy's thoughts being stopped and staited again on each occasion as la-ib and certainly as tlia injjinicr stops aud starts his locomo tive. On another occasion tho fame doctor waa called to see a groom who bad been kicked on the head by a mare called 1) illy, and when Iiu luund q iie insensi ble. There was a fracture of the s'iul', with depre-sion ol b mo at tiic upmf ''' Of the loreheal. As soon as the port D ,ol bono which was pie-sn g upon t: e brain was removed the patient culled out with great energy "Whoa. Doll) I" and then stared about him in blank nm 7, nviit, asking: 'Where H the mare? Where .m H" Thrco hours hud pvtcd since the accident, dining whi. h the words he war just going t utter when it happened had remained looked up, as they might have been lot ked up in the puouogr&pli, to be let go the moment the obstructing pressure was removed. The patient did not remember, when he came to himself, that the mare had kicked him : the list thing before he win in-uisihle which he did remember was. licit she wheeled her hccla round and laid back her cars viciously.
