Thore is encparaging news f or the Democrats from the central counties of New York. Tho apaiby of the Re- pubiicaaa is very greatsTheir iDte re8t appears "to centre more iu the contest between Kelly and. Robinson; than in Uornell. , As cautions a cor-r respondent as the; Philadelphia ZcJ- ger'a writes from New York on the 3d: 'The dominant Idea all through the rural districts, in fact, is that Tammany is as ob jectionable a power morally as it is politi- cally.and now that there is an opportunity iur uiuxig mu enu iu 11, iv uiigut u us wen for all good people, aside from political preferences and prejudices, to unite to im prove It. This class of Republicans admit that tho defeat of the Kelly faction would give undue prestige , to . Mr. Tilden, but if they have to choose between that gen tleman and Mr. Kelly, they say they can put up with Mr. Tilden, . and take the .chances of upsetting him hereaf ter. If these' representations are correct, as I am' inclined to think they are, the alle gation that there is a, secret alliance be tween Cornell and Kelly would seem to be disposed of. The reports abqye mentioned. it may be added, have been laid beiore the Republican General Committee, and the effect there is to quicken the arrangements for mass meetings here ana throughout tne State, in order to keep the rank and file to the support of Mr. Cornell, without any reference whatsoever to the Democratic schism." : ' "" Score one for Tammany. ' That fac tion or party has beaten Mr. Tilden before the Supreme Court of New York , in the matter Of appointing In spectors to represent the Kelly party. From a special in the Philadelphia JPress the decision appears to have been unanimous. The special says: "After the argument the Court took a long recess,and on reassembling announced that they bad come to an uuanimous con clusion as to the construction of the law and the duty of. the Police Board in execu ting it in the appointment of Inspectors of Election. The Court thinks that after In spectors of Election representing the politi cal minority (the Republicans) In the city on Stale issues were appointed, it was the duty of the Board to have selected the re maining Inspectors from JLhe Democratic party in its entirety and not from any fac tions thereof; that as they nave already se lected a third Inspector in each District in the wing of the party known as the Irving Hall Democracy, it is now their duty to choose the remaining Inspectors in the or ganization known as Tammany Hall." Marshal Douglass, of the Western District of North Carolina, has fifty deputies iu his service. Ue reports to the government that Redmond, the notorious South Carolina moon shiner, upon whose head a prioe has been set by the government for the killing of one of its officers, is now firmly entrenched in the mountains of Swain county, N. C, with a band of twenty five or thirty desperate followers. Only a few days back some of Marshal Douglass deputies ran across Redmond and his band, but as they were much inferior in point of numbers they withdrew from the vicinity without much cere mony. He asks the government to offer $1000 for his arrest, and guarantees his captnre if this is done.

The Rabbi Mendelsohn was greeted last night at the Historical Society, by a small but highly cultured and respectable au diecce of ladies and gentlemen, and for nearly two hours entertained them and the Historical Society with one of the most in strnctive and exhaustive literary entertain ments in which it has been our fortune to partake in Wilmington for many years The so eject was thoroughly discussed and treated, under the following heads, viz: First, crimes and punishments under the penal code of the Talmud; second, the jurisdiction of the Synhedrion, or High Tribunal of Justice; third, the mode , of trial and its incidents, and rules of evi dence; fourth, of the execution of the judgment. Each of these chapters or heads was treated in a masterly manner, showing profound research and a conscientious and exhaustive presentation of the subject, . Our columns do not permit us to give any satisfactory account of this splendid lec ture as a whole, and if we had room, the lateness of the hour forbids it We learned a great deal that was new, however, under each of these, heads, some of which we will endeavor to preserve and relate for our readers on some future occasion After the usual vote of thanks, the Soci ety being informed that the Hon. A. M. Waddell, of this city, had completed the paper which his friends have been for some time anticipating, upon the ancient history of North Carolina, on motion a committee was appointed by the Chair, consisting of Judge Cantwell, Rev.

They say that the fuss was kept .up a greater part of the night, but that about 11 o'clock the programme was varied by the heart-rending screams 0 a woman, which sounded as. if some one ytts being murdered.
