John Kelly could not control the Democracy of New York, and as a con sequence becomes an Independent can didate for Governor. The spirit that controls the Tamma ny chief in his avowed purpose of help ing the Radicals to defeat the Democra cy of New York, is the spirit of an “Independent candidate.” Now that Judge Wright has declared for Grant in preference to Tilden, may we not hope for a publication of Fel ton’s correspondence with Ferry and other prominent Republicans, when he was asking their assistance in his war upon the Democracy last year? TltEASUREIl HENFROE AGAIN. In the proceedings of the committee of the legislature raised to investigate the affairs of the Treasury department, and published in the Atlanta Constitu tion of last Sunday, wo find an addi tional statement made by 'Treasurer Renfroe, in which he says he did not know of the provision in the now con stitution, which prohibits the Treasurer from receiving any interest or any thing arising from the deposits of the State under any circumstances what ever. According to our understanding of the theory of government, every man is bound to know the law, and especially the law pertaining to any office he may fill, and that he will not be allowed to plead ignorance as an excuse for mal feasance or misfeasance. But, ai we have before said, we think it would be well under the ciroumstances for the legislature, if Mr. Renfroe will make a clear exhibit of all the State’s funds, aB we believe he can do, except perhaps the five or six thousand dollars of in terest received, to allow. him to resign and let the affair drop. We say this on the supposition that no actual less has occurred to the State on account of any wrong done by Mr. Renfroe, and be cause he has in our opinion managed the finances of the State so far as out side matters are concerned with ability, and has been careful of the Btate’s in terest in his conduct of the Treasury department aside from this matter of receiving interests on deposits. We were pleased to see that the At lanta Constitution in its issue of Sun day morning took a view of the affair similar to that expressed by us last week. As that journal says, the punish ment of impeachment is a severe one, and is perhaps greater than the Treasu rer’s conduct deserves, but we can see no way out of the difficulty for him except hy resignation and the clemency of the legislature, for by his own ad mission—frank and manly admission though it be—he has confessed his guilt in a technical sense. He has time and again done what the constitution of the State distinctly snys he should net do. We repeat, let him settle up with the State and resign; and then let the matter drop. _ POLITICS IN NEW YORK. If the Democratic State Convention which recently met at Syracuse had been harmonious in its action, nominat ing the ticket it did, or one as good, the success of the party would have been almost a certainty. But the war be tween Gov. Robinson and the Tamma ny faction had grown so fierce that all hope of compromise between them had been abandoned before the meeting of the convention, and as party affairs stood at the time of the convention the “Tammany party,” led by John Kelly, had to be accepted as dictator, resulting in the shelving of Gov. Robinson and the defeat of Mr. Tilden as a power in the State, or, on the other hand, John Kelly and Tammany had to be ignored which all knew would result in the withdrawal of Kelly and as many Tam many ites as he could control from the convention, and, consequently, from the party. In this dilemma the party did not hesitate. There was no dickering—no giving way to fear, but the majority boldly met the issue, and nominating Gov. Robinson and a full ticket of good men in thorough accord with him, they, by their conduct, defied Tamma ny and its chief, and told them to do their worst. In doing this the Demo crats of New York have, we think, acted wisely, and should receive the applause of the party throughout the Union. Mr. Kelly, according to the theory of the Democratic party, was but a unit in the party, and had no right to require of others unquestioning obe dience to his will. The chances of Democratic success in November are of course diminished by the defection of Kelly and his associ ates, but the case is far from being On the contrary, there are strong grounds for expecting Gov. Rob inson’s re election. He is very popular in the rural districts, whilo Cornell is not. He has sustained a well-earned character for honesty and integrity du ring his present administration, and has made character as a reformer; and already several of Tammany’s strongest men have withdrawn and are support ing him, while it is quite probable that many more will do so. Yellow Fever. Memphis, Sept. 13. — Twenty-three new cases in all, ten white and thirteen colored, were reported to-day. Among the number were G. W. Sperry, M. B. Mahaffey, Charles Warden, J. L.

Morgan, secretary of the Merchants’ Exchange of St. Louis, which makes 82,500 as the total subscriptions of the Exchange to the Howards.

The total number to date, 1,136, The total number of deaths officially re ported for the week was 48; whites, 32; colored, 16.

New York Herald: The Democrats at Syracuse yesterday, a f ter tho Tam many delegation had bolted, renomi nated the whole present State adminis tration with the exception of Lieuten ant-Governor Dorsheimer, for whom Mr. Clarkson N. Potter was substituted with his own consent. The proceedings, after the withdrawal of the Tammany delegation, was orderly and quiet. Tammany bolted, sure enough; and yet it is undeniable that the Democrats, by renominating Governor Robinson in the face of Tammany’s bluster and threats, have given their party a future in the State. The garden at Ville d’Avray, in the suburbs of Paris, and called when owned by Balzac Les Jardies, is now owned by M. Gambetta. He paid 86,- 000 for it. There in striot retirement he will work about his garden for a few days, wearing slippers and a. straw hat. Suddenly of an evening he departs and travels under an assumed name.

The special order which was a bill of the Senate to relieve the lunatic asylum, was taken up. The committee on this institution to whom the bill had been referred, reported a substitute with the recommendation that it pass. 1st section of the substitute prohibits superintendent to receive any patient who is able to pay his or her expenses, unless a sufficient sum be advanced quarterly for this purpose. 2d section provides: That superin tendent shall give at least one month’s notice to the guardian or trustee of pa tients able, themselves, to pay their ex penses, or whose kindred (who are le gally liable) are able to pay their ex' penses, of the requirement of the 1st section, and on failure to comply with same, shall be turned out of the asylum. Section 3. Limit! the provisions of the 1st and 2d sections speoial to the clasB of patients who are able to pay ex- penses, or whose kindred who are liable to do so by law are so able. Section 4. Requires statement of the court having jurisdiction of the subject and sending any patient to the asylum to append to the usual order, a state ment showing that neither said patient nor his or her kindred legally bound for his or her support, is able to pay the ex penses of the patient. Soclion 5. Requires superintendent to pay over all moneys collected from pay patients into the State Treasury, and to make quarterly reports of all moneys received from this source to the Govern or of the State, and shall keep a list of all pay patients and also of all patients not able to pay their expanses. The hour of 11 o’clock having arrived the high oourt of impeachment con vened, and the Senate was occupied during the remainder of the day as such court. It is thought the impeachment trial will be concluded by Saturday, the 20th. BILLS ON THIRD READING.

KING, A. M. nug12twltw.‘lm Mr. Cox, of Troup, moved to recon' aider the action of the House in refns ing to pass a bill to prescribe the man' ner of selecting and impanelling juries in criminal cases.

The motion to reconsider prevailed. Mr. Barksdale moved to reconsider a bill withdrawn the day before to fix the compensation of jurors in Superior Courts, The motion prevailed. Mr. Fort moved that the House consider its action in passing a bill to extend the time allowed for the com pletion of the Great Southern railroad, and argued against the bill. Mr. Hulsey opposed the motion to reconsider, and explained that the Great Southern railroad was schemed to run from Millen to the coast and not inter fere with any other road in the State The charter expires next year, and the continuation is asked for the comple tion of the road as soon as possible.
