The President has finally taken tho coiu mciiilai.l. step of reducing the number of Internal ik-venue District* from 120 to 82.

Just what effect the-n chauges "Will have univ not appear for some djys, until the new boundary lines can be studied out. Undoubtt-dly lhere will be a good deal of hard feeling on the port ot Gie men who arc Univ deprived of oaV*, but th* reduction mu., needed and was bound to come. The President has shown wisdom in anonmiat the responsi? bility ol consolidation himself. Reports nbont the floods in the neighborhood of St. Louis vary ; but as nearly as it is possi? ble to judge from the dispatches, tbe waters Bro net risiaff. Tits condition of East St. Louis an.l tbeadjacrnt towns and villages is dreadful ; but enerby ia displayed by every one in strength? ening the embankments, and every hoar therefore hcreases the probability that the sreaof dratiuction will not be much extended, if at ull. There ia much distress among the pooi people who have beeu driven from their homes, but no lives hare been lost. This is in happy contrast w th the aad condition of the inhabit? ants of BOssta, in Prussia. Thara, the cable announces, over seventy lives have been lost in the floods.

Fortunately th results were not fatal. Hyrnes went into liquor shop and, although no liquor WaS sold i his presence, arrested the proprietor, and, wav ing his revolver, threatened any one who cam near him. He actually did shoot at a by stander who was brave enough to ask why th arrest was made. When the artair was de scribed In court yesterday the Justice naturnll; discharged the liquor seller, and the man win wasBhotat; but nnaccountably Byrnes wen free also. If this is not a case for the Pol ic Justice, it, certainly is for the Police Commie nioner*. __ The action of Commissioner Asten yestcrda; at the meeting ot the Board of Estimate am Apportionment, in opposing the transfer o $l,:iOO to pay for the Aldermen's invtstiga tion of the Controllers Office, was entirclt correct. To give the Aldermen the money ii simply to waste it. In the first place, the in vestigation which they have seton foot is fo political purposes only, and no one will hav< auy respect for auy report which the commit tee may mako. In the second place, we al ready have two Commissioners of Accounts ai $3,000 a year each, and assistants, whose busi? ness it is to do precisely the work the Aldenuei have undertaken so officiously, lt athena Com? missioners are incompetent let the Mayor pul other men in their places. He can do it. And if they arc competent, what is the use of payinp out moucy for somebody else to do theil work ? ._________?___ THE HAND Of THE "OLD MAX." We have it upon such Democratic authority ai The World newspaper that the late Ohio Demo eratic State Convention " was the most boister? ous, bibulous and disreputable convention evei held in the great State." But we are likewise in? formed by tho B.inie iournttl that u tlie Ohio Democrats are always demonstrative in con? vention," that ? they will run to faction aad they will quarrel over candidates, but they al? ways manage to reconcile their ditlereuces be? fore the day of balloting.'" The frank admis? sion concerning the character of the convention is followed by the confident prediction thut before the day of roting the ditlerencts will bo healed and a harmonious and united Democ? racy will elect Judge lloadly Governor. .Mean? time certain other Democratic jcnrnals are turning over the results of this u boisterous, bibulous and di-reputitblo" convention, and wondering what crtect, if any, they will have on the X:itional Convention next year, and the Democratic nomination for the Presidency. There seema to be a lurking euspicioii in I be minds of many Democrats that the nomination of Judge lloadlv to be Governor of ohio means a good deal moro than appears on the surface; that he means a good dod more in accepting the nomination, and that the men who Lave been pushing him mean a good deal mote than the i.overnorship oi Ohio. the Atlanta Constitution expresses an opinion by no means uncommon when it says: " It mean* u that either lloadly will bo in training for the "Democratic nomination for the Presidency or "that he will support Pendleton, who is bia u political prophet. From this day forth the Prcs u idential campaign may be said to be in pro ? glCSB." So much of this an relates to Pendleton rn SJ ha dimissed. That genllemau can hardly be called a candidate, ile hud his nomination for Vice Pres.dem. in 1804, and his boom for the liist place in lHl.S aud so fur as those places are concerned maybe considered shelved. There are plenty of reasons for setting this down as a fixed fact, but one will suffice. Mr. Pendleton ia so far committed io Civil Service Keform aa to make it doubtful in the niiuds of many Dem? ocrat*) whether he would make a clean hweep of the Republicans in office and put Democrats in t neil' places in case of his election. The present Democratic party, whatever else it may do, will mn noii-?k* and take no chances iu a matter of euell vital importance. The Atlanta editor may bo assured, moreover, that should Judge lloadly be elected Governor of Ohio? which we take lravo to say is extremely im? probable?he is not the mau to turn over to another tbe advantages thereof, or to lend Mt. Pendleton or anybody else tem prestige of his Oivn success. Judge lloadly purchased this nomination?as BOOBS Democrats charlie?and if he should merced in purchasing an election in (H'tobcr, it is an investment of his own funds for his own prolit. Ile is not, engaged just now in philanthropic enterprises, but iu practical politics. It is a political ventuio for the bane fit of Judge lioadiy himselt. .If tho Ohio election is mulei.stood to lap over on the Na? tional Cnn vent ion he will insist that "the tail goe-. arith the hide." Ho is not buying the priv? ilege of acting as ladder or stepping-stone to some one else. Moreover, there are uncommonly good rea? sons for the belief that au eminent Dc uiociat of this eily?whose, robust vitality and radiant youthfulness were recently dei.-ribed so poeti? cally by Mr. Henry Watterson?had something lo do uith putting lui ward Judge lloadly as candidate for Governor ;-*and he is not a mau ayhoas ambition 'tops wi>h the making of mere [Jovernors. Tho Atlanta newanaper truly says : "From this dav forth the Presidential cam? paign may SS tai*, ts be in progress." lt might have said further that so far as the Demociattc BMTSSS in Ohio is concerned Mr. Samuel J. Tilden1* great e/Wt to pay ort an old debt and make bis own man President has fairly begun. afr. Tilden owes Judge, Hoadly a considerable lobt of gratitude, lt is well known to pei sons familial1 with tbs political history of the p.i-u fight years that Judge Uoadiy wrote and pub iished dining the pendency of Mr. Tilden's tlsim ts the Presidency in 187G-7a most elab .uate and formidable opinion Bjastaialag the I'ogus Cronin electoral college in Oregon. It is iot so well known thnt at tbs lime nf this pl? ication certain emissaries of Mr. Tilden were in their way with large suma of money to the lit]uled StataB?South Carolina, Florida aud Louisiana?and that upon the strength of the lloadly opinion their instructions were coun erinaiided ; Mr. Tilden having become con rinced teats the lloadly argument in the Ore? gon case was sound, and that tho one vole he it oded l? in j- it,sn red there was no need of .pending more money on the other disputed states. Mr. Tilden ia probably Hie only man resides its author who ever read Judge Hoad y's argument in that case. Hut it was so subtle md technical, so full of pettifogging points iud withal so interminably tedious, that it coru nended i aelf to him at oue e. From that time Mr. Tilden has been an ai dent idmirerof lloadly. The two men are not on ike in disposition, temperament and mental [iialities ; they believe in a general way in the ame political theories, and it may be fairly in erred from the stories current concerning the >hio nomination that their methods io politico do not differ. Mr. Tilden is probably ont of t! question ns a candidate and knows it Mut he not ont of active politics, and will not be till 1 dies. It is his highest remaining ambition to b not President, but Preaident-makcr. It wi the Tilden wing of the party, not simply I Ohio, but assisted by well-known Tilden leade in other States, notably from Kentucky, tb: made Judge Hoadly tho candidate. Their tb signs by no means stop (herc. The President! campaign fl in progress. A desperate erto will be made to carry Ohio, then to control tl National ('.-invention, and finally to carry tl country. This is tbs menning of thc Ohio bus ness-, and this is tho tai-reaching puipose < Mr, Tilden. We aro confident that it will mi: carry at the next step in October. CAXT ABOUT CORRUPTION. It is ono of the cheapest aud most fool is tricks of tht* cheap demagogue tobe continual! canting about the corruption and profligacy i the opposite party, when it is in power. Inasmuc as tho Democrats are much in lack of moro d< cent or effective campaign material this yea ono can hardly be surprised that the chcapei demagogues among them run riot in their plai forms. But tho mau who imagines that th: mud-slinging does him any good, or strengthen his party, only shows thnt he is a callow pol; Heidi. It would be well for bim if he coul hear how his stuff is regarded by tho plain pec pie, outsido of the circle of office-holding an oflice-seeking partisans. The average voter, t begin with, does not give the average politicia credit for any extraordinary honesty. He doe not make much distinction between parties i that regaid ; according to his impression th aveiage politician of either party will take any thing thut is not nailed doTvn. There is som injustice in this. Our National, State an Municipal Governments would bra great den more corrupt and wasteful than they are if th politicians of both parties were as a rub * tj ii it as thorongh rascals na the plain people suppos them to be. But tho voter has some exense. H Bees all sorts of dishonest methods used in got ting office, and infers that no higher code o nun als governs after ollices have been gained. V.'lu i. a politician of such estimation, believe! by thc piala people to he chielly anxious for : diam rs to steal something, lilts up his voice iu : prolonged howl about the dishonesty of tin other fellows who aro in ofliee, Ihe only feel ing that he awakens is OBS Of cnntcinpr for him N f, lt is taken for granted that his morals an not shocked by anything that happens. Hoi troubled, tbs plain people say. only bceau-o tex other tallowa arc getting the swag tba! lu wants. Until he ran learn to be mme de.cut ii his met ods, more truthful in his st it'im-nts more self- respect in g in his choice of poliUoa tools oi ???ocistwe. ihe people take it forgr.iiitc that he objects only to tho stealing ajana Ik cannot shan the plundei. Vcir niter year, the voters see the same cam in political pint tot ins, nnd wonder what thf donkey repent* it for. It deceives nave ol them, and does not ehaogS a vote, thongs il does give them na idea 'hat their would-br lenders are thinner hvpociiles than they think themselves. For tweuty lean and DOCS WI have heard every year about the hoi rible cor? ruption and Increasing rascality ol Republican! iii ofliee, and according to Densoerats it hu baan getting eroms aad worse all tbe while, lt half (hey have RaaMTtad wire true, theft would have been Dotbillf left to Steal tefl veals ago. Tho fact is, as tho plain people know?hav? ing much more sense than the cheap dema? gogues who try to impose on them?that our i.o.ernment in all its braaohes is administered ?SJ tbs whole with it lair degree of honesty. Them are ruscal* bl both p.uti.--, oi ionise, and they are ant to bo the very non abo wei k hard? est to pet into ofliee, municipal. State or Na? tional. Bat tbs nstrsiats nf offlos j.rove stronger than they imagine. To steal with mach aaooses or safety, one Deeds cor fedei etea, and these are not IO often found. Tenuities Bro ?e\< re, public sentiment is more watchful and BO* > a great deal more than il formerly did. Many exposures have taken place, 'n high sta? tions or in low, and men have leal and to dread them. Tba Democratic Stile Tmj-uich who ran narai last aeaeoo, and tbe Dasaosiatie pity official a hov peculations hrtve tei < ntly como to light, are after all exceptions in one party, just ns the Star Bents pc>!?ie are in the other. Thc plain people take note of tho fact that most of the officials do not run away or flat suddenly rich. Two United State* Tie adnera, ofter handling untold millions, havo retired poor j nota ungle Seci.iaiv of the Treasury ot Host master-General in twenty years has left ofliee with more evidence of weah h than he bad when be entered it; nnd tba same may ba said of al ino-t all the official* nt Washington who have had the greatest oppoitnnittss toabneepobllc tl lists. No-.r ni;d then an exception occurs. Then nil hunt down the rascal with zeal, and a gnat stil? ls made about it. Hut il is nut right to ><>rget tl.pt most of our puldic ollicers j.rove upright and that the aggirgate expenses of thc (Ioc? tl iiuient are small in view of nil the services it renders, 'ihe bowling I'cmociuts cannot lind any Administration since to compare for eon t p tion arith the last of their own party.

A tremendous " affair" has been iu progress in various parts of Ibo Slate of Virginia for the past few days. Two Kichmond editors have bein endia vol ing since Thursday last to gai a sin.! tit each oilier, but owing lo tho vigi? lance of tbs police sad tbs inability ol the sec? onds to keep up w ith the pi incipals they ||IT|. thus far been disappointed. The trouble began in | newspaper controversy of tbe good old fashioned kind. The Editor of 'Ihe Mate re? marked that the Editor ol Tin Whig l" longed in politics to a u vicious, cormpf and degraded gang," who were trying to muk* capital out of the ''nigger" question. The EaUtnt ol 'Un Whig moiled in ti tone nf lofty contempt that. this was a * deliberate, knowing and malicious Ile," and attempted to disparage his rival's enrage by calline him a BottbSaVtes Poiieso who had once pretended to light S duel by go? ing upon tne field with pistols without caps, lidding (hat he hi nisei f had once gone out with caps and had been shot in the face. As soon as Mr. Bierae, tbs UihM of 'lin State, read this irritating sllnsioa to his valor, he communica? ted with Mr. Elana, tba Editor of lae Who, ind demanded satisfaction. Mr. Klam had lett towu ts pimpara for tho fray without polictj ii Inference and the challenge was forwarded to him. A hostile meeting waa arranged, but could not rome ort nt once as ont: of the seconds was behind time. Both ferocious Editors were con? cealed iu farm-houses about two miles from Ivicl.moud, and were compelled to restrain iheir fury till Friday. At a preliminaiy coum il ;>t the seconds it had been proposed in behalf jf Mi. flicino that the weapons should be six ?hooter navy revolvers, ami the distance eight tiaces ; that after tho first firing the challenger ivas to say whether he was satisfied ; if he (aid no, both men should lie ut liberty to ad vanes toward each other and continue firing until all khe chan bera were emptied. These conditiona had been accepted in behalf of Mr. Eiam, b when the seconds assembled on Friday to mal the final arrungementa, Mr. Elatn'a secont produced two small five-shooters as the wea] ons. Mr. Bierne'a seconds objected to these i umere children's pistols," and offered a pair < regular duelling derringers.which were declinei It will be perceived that Mr. Bierne'waa di termined to have no half-way work this timi His tt valor"' had been queationed once, but should not be again. The wrangle over weal ona consumed so much time that the police lin time to find the party, and just as they wei proceeding to the woods for the light, Mr. Bierr was arrested. Mr. Elam concealed himself an was not taxen. Thus ended the second dar. Public interest in the affair had now becorrj intense. Full accounts of all the proceeding were published in the newspapers, with glow bag eulogies upon the indomitable courage t the two Kditors, and thrilling predictions of th goto which would flow if they were permitte to get at each other. On Saturday Mr. Biern got away from custody nnd disappeared t parts unknown. Mr. Elam was discovered, i hiding nt a farm-house, but betore he could b arrested he slipped out of the back door un fled. The seconds, in tlie meantime, were tly ing about like decapitated lieus. They ha no idea where their principals were, and cov ered wide sections of country in a vain Beare for them. 'Hie Richmond lHstiatch of Sunda: published an agitated account of the perplexin business, in which it says: u It is understoo "that a meeting of the seconds wns held in "hotel in this city yesterday. It is believe' "that arrangements were again made for " fight, or will bo ns soon ns tho means of cora " niuiiicatiug between principals and seconds i ''secured. But tho greatest difliciilty will b " to get the principals together again.'' Al through Sunday the suspense was continued and we are told that tho public desire to bea from them was " intense." A few sccptica persons began to doubt if there would boan' duel alter all, but this seems to us to bc an un charitable view. Both men are said by tin Richmond journals to be "expert pistol shots, both have "Hashing eyes," both are noted fo "courage and coolness," both are writers o "force and ability*" nnd both are " quick am active in their movements." When two sud warriors gel together with " six-shooter navy ie volvers" there ia likely to be some bloo( spilled. Bm the chances are much agains their meeting. They are far from cudi other and still further from the second-., and Uk revolvers are with the s'-conde, and tin police nie every where. It is very (lisappointini to the public. Maybe it is to the piincipal ?lao ; bit at this di- hines it looks as if they tool uncommon pains to let the police know nba they were up to. A SEVENTIETH RIBTHDAY.

Mr. Beacher at seventy is younger than his father was when he got out of harness. Dr. Lyinau Beecher entered the ministry iu 1708 at East Hamp? ton, L. I., went t( Litchfield, Conn., in Iii 10, whets Usury Ward Bseoher was boru, aud after twenty-two years of actiye pastoral work, there ai in Boston, accepted the presidency of tt theologic seminary near Cincinnati, where he remain twenty years. When he resigned his office in 188 he had been in the ministry fifty-four years ai waa PS his seventy-eighth year. After his return Boston he devoted his energies to a revision of b published sermons, and occasionally entered tl pulpit, where, for a fow years at least, he was ab to preach with old-time energy and tire. He lived the advanced age of eighty-eight, hie memory fal mg long before his physical powers were material impaired. Mr. Beecher's friends hare reason, thor fore, to expect a good many years of actiye servii from the pastor of Plymouth Church.

New-York nr Dat and Night. ?It would be a moat curious oalculatlon>hleh would establish, even approx*, lraately, the difference between the population of Irena York City during the day and the night It must he somewhere in the hundreds of thousands, and lt is qu.te possible that lt will reach bali or even three-quarters of a million. It ls doubtful If in any other olly in the world so many workers by day leave the hive to sleep In other cities.

SETrmO A FaBHIOW IW BrjILDWOS.?Tm Ti-ibcwb Building," said a builder who was contemplatiJjjj Printing House Square from the City Hall, ? seems to have set the fashion In the architecture of high buildings in this city. There were none of les peoullnr style before lt was de? signed, and of the many since built the Morse, Temple Court, Boreel, Mills and Produce Exchange follow closely Its general plan, while the United Bank and the Flab! buildings, with their undressed-stone trimming*, are practically in tbs same style." Am Old Name Misapi'lisd.?Since the demolition of the old Washington House at Bowling Green and the Battery, known as ? Washington's Headquarters," s?me~ body has tried to attach the nama to a building at the corner of Peurl and Broad sta. Of coarse there ls e liquor shop there, und the claim Is made In Its behalf. It is not absolutely certain, but lt is probable that at the time of the Revolution the site of this new-found head? quarters of tbe Father was some distance out la the bay. Tba wall at Wall-st. had not entirely disappeared theil, Brosd-st. was still a canal and Fort George was near the Bowling Oreen. The present Battery was only Indicated then. It must be remembered that New-York in 1775 was still a small provincial town. Broadway was paved only as tar as Ht. Paul's Churchyard, and ? to walk In Broadway,** says a Swedish traveller of thc day, ? was like entering a garden i the shade trees wera plentiful, the birds sang sweetly from their brunches, and tba frogs chanted sa merrily In the alms und locusts thut ona could hardly hear one's self speak." There were no streets above Dey, aud City Hall Park was an un Inclosed common. Cars Over the Big BerDoe.?" It will be three weeks yet." said John H. Hoagland, Master of Transportation of the Bridge, yesterday, " before tho cars are run." " When will the elevated railroad station be removed I** " I understand that lt will be about tbs same time," wm the reply. Inquiry elsewhere elicited that by some ar* r.mgement reached by the mauagrrs of the road and tbe Bridge, the connection between the two at the New-York terminus will bc at once completed by tho extension of the Bridge platform to the track at the present tartr.tnus. This will practically make the Brook? lyn terminus of tho Bridge a terminal station of the Third A verm" Kalin,ad. The railroad cara will be run over the Bridge by being attached te the regular Bridge cars, thc locomotives, of course, not crostmg. A Single car now serves for ihe ordinary traffic during mast of tho day over the road from tbe City Hall to Chatham Square, and it is not thought thai the Brooklyn traffle will require 'he addition of more than mic car. It will be a great advantage to Brooklyn residents, especially at night. _ A OPBBOBB Coixchiescb.? It ls a matter of some comment that the rr ul name of oue and tbe assumed liante of the other woman whoso escapades bava furnished town-talk for a fortnight should be the same.
