THE INDIANA STATE SENTINEL WEDNESDAY. JXTXEJ. 1876

"WEDNESDAY, JUNE 7.

Godlove S. Orth is ai cool as a cucumber, and not a hot as a lime kiln. The Conkling-Morton bargain and aale transaction received a new Impetus from the action of the Iowa Republican convenGovernor Hendricks lead the race on the home stretch. The Tilden movement has spent its strength. lie was too extensively advert Morton's iriends are deserting him, and if he doesn't sell out promptly he won't be able to realizs even a treasury clerkship upon his influence at Cincinnati. If Morton does not receive the nomination at Cincinnati, he may be consoled by the ante-mortem obituaries that bis Re-'-. publican friend are writing: about him. California ha been claimed lor Tilden, bat the San Francisco Bulletin says the delegation will break after the first ballot, and Hendricks will have a large followIng. ; u Pierrepont dots not go to Ejgland until ' after the Cincinnati Convention. Will the failure of Ca ueron to deliver Pennsylvania according to contract determine whether he shall go at all? - That last f 130.000 steal did the buslm as lor Mr. Blaine at Das Moines. It fairly ' captared the admiration of the Iowa Radical., and carried the convention ly storm . lor its bold perpetrator. ' Grant, Conkling fc Co. will hve harder work at Cincinnati than they have antlcipatfed. : Unless they can catch Blaine doing some very meritorious and (liberal thing, ' they will be rooted on June 14. ' The Qaeuec tire department will hereafter keep steam up all day on May SO of each jear. The great fire of Tuesday occurred on the anniversary of the destruction Of the Bitua suburbs by fire thirty years ago. If it could only be shown that Mr. Blaine had murdered his grandmother to steal her gold-rimmed spectacle, or served a term in the Maine penitentiary for sheep ' stealing, he would carry every Radical convention in the Union. And even Louisiana, Buffering and bleeding Louisiana, in whose behalf the great senatorial apostle of bste has exposed to a jeering world the most intimate folds of the sacguinolent undergarment, refuses to Instruct lor Morton ! Upon receiving news that Iowa had Instructed lor Blaine, the sole proprietor superintended the penning of the following editorial paragraph: General Ben. Harrison, of Indiana, has the elements of a dark torse Journal. Peter Cooper unkindly intimates, in replying to a letter informing him ot his nomination for the presidency by the ladependent Greenback party, that the ends sought to be attained by that organization can probably be belter reached through the old parties. The workingmen were of ipecial interest to the Journal a few weeks ago, but cow, when fifteen hundred or two thousand of them gather In convection to ee vise means to secure labor, that paper did not give them one line of editorial notice. The city election Is over. ! The Associated Press dispatch last night, contrary to the expectation of every body cognizant oi the sentiment of that state on the financial question,' made the Damocratio convention declare in favor of the resumption act when they really resolved for Us repeal. - There must have been aome liberal advertising in Missouri. It cow appears that the Turkish aflair was rather a chamber aflair than an erneute, and ttat AbJul Aziz was depesed by bis ministers because he refused to advance, money from his private puree to meet the extraordinary expenses of the war department. A rumor comes by way of Vienna ttat the ex-sultan has been Strangled In his palace. It reads like a tale from the days of the cal'ph. The testimony atiainst Blaine before the eDmmlttee of investigation becomes darker, and there is considerably mere of Tom Scott In his character than acy; body ever thought before. But what does it matter how much isprdVen againBtblm? Every caw bit of evidence against him gives him more delegates at Cincinnati. Iowa instructed for him yesterday, and even Louisiana did cot instruct for Morton. The action of the Democratic State Conventions held yesterday are decidedly favorable to Governor 'Hendricks. Tennessee, where" a-itröng eff.rt had been f made for Tilden, will vote as a unit or Mr. Hendricks, while in Missouri the canvass .of the delegates showed ttat Mr. Hendricks had 19 votes to Tilden'a 10. The ; preference expressed by Maryland for Bayard indicates that Tilden is weakening 'in the East.

So far In the canvaep, thete high moral sheets have cot gained a very imposing following. The Cincinnati -cabal will hardly ;c nominate-'' Eriatovr: at Cincinnati and the Courie'r-Journal and St. Louis Republican 'do bot seem 'to be 'making 'boa'yery .rapidly for Tilden. As a result of the

latter paper's elaborate and diaengenuous leader of Monday, designed v to Injure Governor Hendricks and advance the cause of Tilden in the Missouri convention, the delegation from that state Is two to one lor the former. . Verily, If Independent Journalism . has -Its reward, It is not on this sublunary planet.

Somebody has . klndiy furnished the Sentinel a copy of the "Life and Public 8 rvices of Oliver P. Morton." As the Sentinel Is Just now engaged In the work developing come obscure points in his civil service, we naturally turned to that psrt of the record to see if the Sentinel' knowledge of Morton had been appropriated by the biographer. We could not find aline oi all that deeply inteieetirg leading which the Sentinel has produced. Bat Imagine our astonish ment when our eye fell upon the follow ing, referring to the time when Mr Morton "had devised a new system of state government:" "Every dollar disbursed during one jevr and nice months of his financial administration was paid on bis check, proper and sufficient vouchers bei eg taken Irl all cases. Not a dollar was lost or misappropriated." Now, just there the Sentinel's record should come in. There ought to be a star at the eod of that senteoce referring to a foot note containing the voucher for Morton's cow feed, and the twenty-five or thirty other voucheia for his private expenses. Why Is There a Scarcity of Labor? There are times when the value of politi cal opinions must be submitted to a prac ties! test. Partisan prejudice will . some times, for long periods, decide politlca action without regard to consequences But crisis occur in which the persona responsibility of the voter must be considered by himself. When the citizen is made to suffer add absolutely fe 1 the oppression of bad legislation, then he Is forced to review bis political aots, and own his part in the bad legislation that has wrought the ruin that 6tares him in the face. This is always the first step of a revolution in public sentiment. To-day the American people are 1 'ling the effects of Republican legislation. The svstera of class legislation that has prevailed with the leaders of the Republican party has gradually grown worse and woise. There has been such reckless and bold disregard of the common interest, in providing lor the profit of the few, that the people can very readily discover now that there has been a distinot and studied purpose to rob the people and enrich the lew. The masses now feel it. It does not affect alone the laboring class, but tb merchant, the manufacturer and the professional man as well. Business prosperity In this country was checked witn the failure of Jy Cooke A Co. Republican legislation gave rise to that species of swindling, commercial transactions, of which Jay Cooke's operations were a conspicuous example. The bubble was touched and.lt exploded. Commerce has beeo maintained, and, indeed, all business enterprises have progressed since then under pressure. The gradual decline has at last reached a point when the dire consequences are directly felt In the need of bread by a large class of men all over the country. The contraction of the currency that has been going on under the Republican measure adopted over a year ago by Cocgrt sounder the leadership of Sherman and Morton has proven so ruinous that only the blind can not trace the present depression as the direct result ol that Republican policy. ' It Is otter folly to deny it. The matter Is so plain that, be who runs may read. Practically speaking, the currency la the only medium of exchange we have. Legislation withdraws that, or through distrust locks it up, and business at once ceases. Oaly the farming class can utilize their labor with a profit nnder such c'rcu instance, and the prices of produce must oi court e decline with no money to buy it. However, the whole cation must suffer; The masses of the people must therefore reler to Its prcp9r cause the pressure of the times, the wicked legislation, pursued for a aeries of years by the Republican party. They have cot legislated for the common good, but for individual profit against the interest of the masses of the people. Republican legislation has pet out the fires in. the blast , furnaces. It has shut ud the coal shaft. It has stopped internal improvements. It has ruined ship building. It has increased the rate of interest. It has throttled commerce, ruined the manufacturing interest, stopped the growth of cities and towfl'p, hindered building investments, and said to the capitalist?, Withdraw your money from commercial enterprise?.' Is it wonderful then that here and there, all over the country, these great wrongs shall produce the cry fcr relief by the laboring masses, .who have no capital to fail back ' upon. At such a time it Is proper and fit that the cause ot the distress should be earnestly considered by the citizBn. If,. In a country like ours, with Its boundless resources, assistance to the necessaries of 11 'e must be furnished to able bodied men willing to work, something In our political system . is grossly wrong. Temporary reliel may be offered, but that does not cure the evil. The wrong must be righted in better legislation, that baa respect to interest of the laboring and prcdocirg Classes. No permanent relief can come but by a change of adminlstrstlor, ' Every social, xellgloua and commercial Interest cl the cation demands it, and demands it as soon as possible, that confidence, now shaken, may be restored; and the legitimate prosperity of Ibis Wuntry may again be secured.

At Claelnnatl.

In lees .than two weeks the decision of the tlal Republican party, as to their preeldencandidate, will be made. As the situa-! iton now presents Itself, "Mr. Blaine has the approval of the popular branch -of the' party, while .In the quiet background thai determined whimperings ol the officeholders and leaders of the party are heard plotting for his overthrow. There Is no special reason why Mr. Morton should not have been the people's candidate Instead ol Blaine, If, when In times past he bad taken issue with the administration, be bad stood bis ground. But his defections -never lasted long. He lost the golden opportunity when he suc cumbed to Grant's veto of the financial measure of 1874. Had he then cut loose from the administration, Mr. Morton would have beaten Blaine in every Western state, and could have received the nomination with ease. But Morton could cot resist the blandishments of presidential pa'ronage fcr what was promised In the future, and Blaine stepped into the place he deserted. The result is manifest tc-day, as state after state falls Into line endorsing the popular favorite. He clung to the administration, 'entered the presidential ring as about the third choice of the administration. Coupling now appearing first, Wash bur Lie second. The presidential ring will be more formidable at Cincinnati than appears from present indications. It will combine the strength of all the candidates save Brhtow and Blaine, and will finally determine the choice, unless Blaine carries the day on the first or second ballot. It it should happen that Eristow holds the balance of power, and pereis'ently holds nn, the "Grea, Uuknown" will then come to the front. There is f-otne cohesiveness in the republican party, but they have never had such a teal as the Cincinnati convention will produce, and it Is extremely doubtrul if there is held at Cincinnati a convention that terminates with any satisfactory degree of harmony. The West can net in any event be satisfied. Every candidate before the convention is an out and out bullionlst, and favors the most stringent contraction. There ia no ncanepoken of for the nomination that will favor a repeal. It ia said that Mr. MorUn'a Western view is in favor of some modification of the Sherman bill that he helped to make, which has almost bankrupted the country, but his Eastern opinion is with the bullioniäts. If Blaine is nominated, he will have the support of the money power, even it the administration should be lukewarm. But he will be weak before the people In the West. The party leaders see this, and It will be exceedingly difficult to determine what course will best secure a promise of success. Altogether there is a storm cloud hovering over Cincinnati. It it should hurst over them like a water spout and crush the party out of ex'stence, it would be a happy thing for the country. Bad for Horton. A discouraging sign for Senator Morton's presidential aspirations is the reappearance in newspaper discussions of speculations as to his physical capacity for the duties of chief executive. The New York Herald, whose political weather-cock just now seems most sensitive to the Conkling breeze, affects to regard Morton's Ulness as placing him altogether out of the field as a candidate, and this sentiment finds no feeble echo in the provincial press. It is worthy of notice that this feeling is not wholly con fined to the senators pronounced enemies, but is apparent in quarters to which he has confidently looked for support. Is it possible that Mr. Morton's friends are disposed to abandon his cause as hopeless, and take this method of sparing him the mortification ol a direct desertion? It looks very much like It. Mr. Morton's health, always precarious, is no worse now than it has been for months past, and the revival ot the discussion in quarters friendly to him can only be regarded as indicative of a disposition to shelve him with a complimentary vote, and then transfer the strength which he now regards as bis own to some other candidate. Perhaps the rumors of a Conkllcg-Morton coalltien, which are finding their way Into the columns of the Eistern papers, are straws pointing in the same direction. The New York Sun has a paragraph of friendly advice to Morton, counseling him to abandon his personal ambition and drive the best possible bargain with Conkling for his Influence at Cincinnati. The Brooklyn Eagle details with some minuteness the Grant-Cockling programme- in which Hayes Is said to be lated lor vice president and Morton for secretary of the treasury. The great war governor is not a man to mistake the s'gns of the times. It is possible that he has read the writing on the wall and, conscious of the hopelessness of his own case, has put euch strangtb as be has been able to gather where It will do the most good. If one can cot be president' himself, it Is something to say . who shall be, and the secretary Bbip of the treasury is co insignificant plum. It, would be singular if a mutual betrayal has been going on; if Morton's friends 'have conspired to abandon him, making his infirmities the pretext, and at the same time he has been plotting to sell out his support to Conkling at Cincinnati J 1 ' rThe Turkish Kniplr. : The : real significance or - the revolution in ' Turkey Is not determined by the ' , meagre dispatches that lave been received. . It was generally believed that 'the willingness of the deposed' sovereign to accede to the demand of the allied powers was constrained by the fear of its results upon bis own sub jects. .It cow appears that the very parties whom he feared, the Soitas, have ; been foremost in the conspiracy lor the de

thronement, and tie yielding to the de-

mands made by Russia and her allies for the settlement of the religious question that has rendered the sultan's poslticn J very much like'a residence In the cater.of f a volcano. ,'Aidal' Azia.Kabn'sdcedeJ to tbeempireln 1861r and baa -reigned nearly fifteen years. rThe new aultan, Murad ErJendi, is his nephew, the heir presumptive to the throne. He is only ten years younger than his nncle, and, with the title of prince, baa been a prominent facor in the political movements of the empire. From -the satisfaction with which the abdication and new accession have been received In Europe, and the concessions made to the demands of the Count Andrassy's ' cote, we may Infer a liberal government, compared with that of the late emperor, will be given to the people, and equal justice .adminis tered alike to Christian and Mussulman. vvnue we can not but think mere was definite foreign encouragement to the dep s'tioa of the late sultan, yet we can clearly trace in the deplorable calamity at Salonica the - immediate precipitation of the crisis that lead to tne recent change, The advance In Turkish securities in Lon don is favorable to a peaceful termina tlon of the negotiations, between Turkey and the allied power. I l --gB The Situation. The New York Express gives the following estimate of the pieterenccs of the delegates to Ht. Louts (too) do far as chosen: Governor Htndrlcka, 175; Governor Xl den, 117; William Allen. 4: Joel Paiktr, ia; Wlnneld B. Hancock, 17; Allen G. Tharmau, 15; benator Bayard, 14. -cond ballot Governor Hendrirks, 21U; TUdeD. 47; Parker, 18; Hncock, 17; Tnurman, Ii; iiavard, II, and the 70 New York delegates not classified, but probably for Judge Church. The Tribane says "there are 3 'S delegates to be 'chosen. Benator Bayard's strength depends entirely upon whe' her there In a belter peoopeclfor elecllDghlm than Governor Tilden. He Is probably the second choice of neany all of TilJen's supporters."Since the above estimation, was made, Tennessee wlih her 22 vote, Missouri with 10 vote9, a portion of the Minnesota delegation, have 'pronounced for Hendricks, while a recanva&s of the Iowa del egation gives him two-thirds of the vote of that Bta e, formerly counted for Tilden. The tide is now setllng in f?r Mr. Hen dricks very decidedly, aud it is to be hoped that a second ballot at S". Louis will be changecTto a general acclaim tor Mr. Hen dricks unanimously. The Contest at Cincinnati. While the country at large is looking on the political currents that are setting In toward Cincinnati, and speculating as to which stream will engulf the rest, the leaders of the party, the Inside ring, are preparing for a most bitter and persistent fight ever the nomination. Blaine is the popular man, while Conkling, Morton and Grant will ail take underbolds in the wrestle, and by every powar at their command they will seek to overthrow him. It will be a vigorous fight, and great fear is exercised lest there be a disruption of the party. CONCERNING CANDIDATES. The Hon. James B. By an Surveys the Field in the Freeman's Journal. "A VOICE FROM INDIANA." WHAT THB FREEMAN'S JOURNAL SATS OF THE HON. JAMES B. RYAN. A5D TBI POSITION HB TAKES ON PRESIDENTIAL CANDIDATES. The New York Freeman's Journal says: The Hon. James B. Ryan is a man ot deserved influence in Indiaca. There arg, not many men in tkat Sta'e who wield so much Influence. When be wants a hearing in th Freeman' Journal, be can have it. The Freeman's Journal can cot be for, or against, any candidate for the presidency, except, on matters of the highest principle, without stultifying Its pes t ion that all personal -prejudices ought to be sunk, In view of the more serious principles Involved. We are certain that the financial qn-stton ru.h' not tojecter into the argument a-:d plans of a pcpulir canvas. The candidate tor president who presents his plan as ths cn'y one eea-lb'e does cot understand the business interests involved. The true wisdom, In a contest for president, or for paity, is to understand that the United S ates government has done enough of mischief by ialse measures, and that the best thing remaining lor it to do is t take its bands off after n sending the stupid 'reolv-" of returning to specie payments in 1879! The way for the financial tangle to be unravelled Is lor government to let the currency question stand as It did before the crazy resolve of resuming specie . payments in 1879. ) MR. RYAN'S LEITER, REFERRED TO. HB REVIEWS THE SITUATION, AND ARGUES THAT GOV. HENDRICKS IS THB BEST AND MOST AVAILABLE MAN. The article in your paper of this date, In regard to the presidential nomination, headed, "What State Shall Furnish the Candidate ?" should, as no docbt it will, receive the hearty approval of all eacdid meo. Uujccss in tne coming preelder.tlal election will depend, in a grea. measure, upon the candidate presented tor the suffrages of the people. As you well remark in the article raterred to, in 1863 and 1872, under the regime of wtrch Mr. S. J. Tilden was the representative, Naw York furnished candidates for the presiJeacy only to be defeated. 'In fact, New York has Inroisbed candidates for the last tt-re presidential elections'only to be defeated. And now arises the q iesuoc: snail New York once more make the candidate, when such a ' policy, In all human probability, will again result In defeat? In the present temper of tbe public mind I can net bat regar i such a pol cy as suicidal. After tbe experience we have had. as you re mark, will it not be graceful on tbe pirtcfj New York "to ask ether states to propose candidates?" I have not a word tossy agilnst Mr. Tilden. I fully appreciate his devotion to sound political principles bis integrity and his admin lair stive ability, but doea bis location and surroundings point him out as tbe best man to- bead t te presidential ticket at tnis timer I ' think not, and such I bulleve to bs the ' ' - - ,i . ' PREVAILING , SENTIMENT AMONG THE DSMOCBACY .' of the South andtWeat. aYou als? xefer,' with" fust encomiums, to Judge Thornton, of Ohio, and Senator Bayard, of Delaware '

as suitable candidates lor the presidency. I agree with jou in all you ay in, regard to those distinguished gentlemen, as to their Integrity in both public and prlvfcts lifeu.Eiitj hat a!dcan . either give tof e cure sucof si io Ue cOoiTng presidential election ? Juc'ge Tnurman can net carry bis own sta e itr even the presidential com i nat ww, toufiU&v 1 n e,io . O f course Mr.c Bijard could carry his own stata, both as a candidate .and in the election, but any candidate . tbe Democracy may nomlnte at St. Liou:s, will carry D lvare, for she Is a reliable Lemocraiic state. I can not see what we are to ga'.n by nominating either ol these . gentlemen. Either would grace the position, but what hope of their election? I also agree with yon fully in another, suggestion you make. It the candidate should come from New York, it should be Iloratio Seymour. He ia eminently fitted for the place.

ma purity and abllltv can not be Ques tioned. And ii he should be elected be would restore ' he cfBoe to what it was dur Ing the best days ot the republic. Fortunate would It be for the countrv it tbe helm of state Ciuli be placed in the hands of tuen a man. it n oold be a guarantee that honesty, economy and sound principles wouia once more control In the administration cf put lie affairs. Rut in tbe present condition of the country, I can not believe that the friends of Seymour, or even Mr. Seymour himself, would thick his nomination the wisess policy for the national convent iop. Now. Mr. EJltor. let us look the field over and see if we can not find a winning candidate, and one who would makejust SUCH A PRESIDENT AS THE COUNTBT ' NEEDS in the presett crisis of public affairs, but not mentioned among those whom jou have named as fi:tlcg candidates for that high efflee. It must Le admitted that the October election in Indiana will influence, to a great extent, tbe November elections. And should not the cational convention well weigh th's matter in its ' selection oi thjcaui ditej If Itdiina is lost in Oct - ber, what hope fcr success in Novembti? In the presidential elections of tne pas:., tbe October vets in Indiana has determined tha result of tne November election In New York. Do you thick that the nomination et either Mr. Tildeo, Judge Thürman, Mr. Bayard, or even Mr. Saymour, would give Indiana to tbe Democracy at the October election? In Indiana we want a candidate who will carry tbe itata in October. And we think we can present such a candidate fcr nnminaflon at St. Louis. I refer to the Hop. Thomas A. Ilendricka. With Mr. llendicks as the candidate, I bedeve we can carry 15 Southern stau s, Indiana, New York, New Jersey, Connecticut, California and Oregon, which will give us 41 msjor.ty in the electoral vol e. With success In Indiaca at the October election, it would be the forerunner of success ail over the country in November, and I firmly belie V6 that we will carry every state that I have named. With Mr. Hendricks as the candidate, we would work with a will and zeal lor victory In October that we could not with any other leader; hence, I urge hü nomination as just THE MAN FOR THE EMERGENCY. Mr. Hendricks has filled many Important public positions, and he has always been equal to the occasion. He has been representative and senator In Congress, commissioner of tbe land office, member of the constitutional convention in this state in 1850, and now governor. In all his public career his honesty has never been questioned. Not a taint tests upon bis reputation, In either public or private life. What you say of Mr. Seymour will apply just as well to Mr. Hendricks, and I reproduce it, because I can cot find mere appropriate words to express my idea oi tbe fitness of Mr. Hendricks for the presidency, and the policy of nominating n;m at St. Louis. "With his long and rips experlnce In administration; with tils thorough knowledge of tbe country and of its public men; with Lis broad and deep a rpr relation ol what it needed to rest rj y-ace, prosperity, and tapplnees, to t .e p'cple oi the whole country," if itstiou d tec in good to the delegates at St. Louis to nominate him, cot only will the state of Indiana give him its electoral vote,'butwe feel a certainty, almost, that the dlstrewed aud sffi.cted people of all the states will, before the ides ot November, resolve to commit to his man agement tbe reorganization of our ruined fcrtanep, and give him such a sweeping vota of states, as will put in his power, wisely and firmly, to set the ship of state, once more, on her true coarse." In 1SGS, Mr. Seymour Eatd Mr. Hendricks should have been the candidate, on account of his eminent fitness for tbe place, and I have no doubt he now entertains the same idea as to what would be tbe most suitable and wisest selection at St. Louis. James B. Ryan. Indianapolis, May 20, 1876. CURRENT COMMENT. HEADING FOR SEYMOUR. Ohio Slate Journal. 1 About four motths ago, a shrewd New York politician, talking over the sltnation with ths writer, predicted the nomination of Horatio Seymour at St. Louis. After much backing and tilling, events seem to be. heading that way just now. ; A SHARP GAME ON TILDEN. brand Rapids Eagle J The Wettern enemies of Tilden have evidently put up a sharp game upon blm. They have sent out adulatory notices ol him to tbe Western Democratic trees with a request for their publication as adveriisemeuta for money, leaving it to be inferred that ''slippery Sam" lurnlsbes the money. . . 1 THE E LANDER ON (PEAK BR KERB. Lleaveland Leader, Rep. A person named Green has been lor several days in Washington testifying that several years ago be came to Wash ington, was Introduced by a friend to the HonM. C. Kerr. 'and paid him 1 600 to nominate and secure the appointment oi hta son as a cadet to West Point. Uf Mr. Green we know nothing, but we believe his Jstcry to .be a He. This - opinion is based'simpty cpon the character ol Mr. Kerr. We dissent entirely from bis poli tico, but webave alwavs belUved him to be an honest man. Mr Green's story may verv trotrlv be investigated, but it will prooablv turo out as baseiea as the similar BLAINE OR CONKLING. ; I " .

THB JOURNAL'S IDEA OP EVIDENCE lEvenlng Ntwf. The Journal has a curious idea of the value 'of evidence. It skys that Colfax 'was actually hounded out of public life, and is still pursued and hounded on far weaker testimony than exiits in this CAe," .'.meaniog Kerr's. Colfax was convicted by public "opinion ; on the sworn declaration of Oak ee . Ames, who produced his "memorandum book" to prove that he bad paid Col ax certain moneys at certain tlrue, and the books of tbe corkeeper of the House showed that (Jolrax bad bad just suca sums at those tlmee. Besides this bis own explanations were evasive and inconsistent, and to begin with he prevaricated, cr not to put too fine a point on it, tried to lie cut of tha I Credit Mobiller accusations. Ths case agalust bitn wa almost as ftrong as circumstantial evidence could make it. The Journal also thinks that the case against Belknap was not so strong either. Here again we difitr from our neighbor. If tne testimony of tbe Marches and the rest Is not stronger than tbe evidence of Harvey ;aud Green, bis resignation is conft-ssion es absolutely as suicide would have been. The main point against Mr. Kerr is tbe circumstanca of his having appointed a man comparatively unknown to him, and from another state" than his own. Ilhecle rMfci away there will be little difficulty in dipsiog of the rest. We Drint eisawtere tne di-ptches of the New York papers yeUerday, which will give a beuer idea of the surroundings of the caee " ' "".FRIENDLY ADVICB TO MR, MORTON. - : i New York fc'un. - The other day we advlaed Mr. Blaine to show a high specimen of magnanimity by leadirg hla followers icto the camp of Snat-ir Conkling, and making him the candidate or the. party.'-Thl9 was before Blaine's private and confidential transaction in Belling an int6rst in the N?rthern Pacific railroad lor $23,000 had been exposed. It wai good advice then, and it is still better advice now. We renew to the gentleman from Augusta tbe soggefction that when you can't be the king, it is not a bad idea to be the klcg-maker. The came wise counsel we now tender ta Senator Morton, the distinguished statesman from Indiana. Hiscbanc of being nominated and elccteJ president in the year ol erace, 1876, is not very flattering; but he can do a great thing lor bimsell and delight hla party ty making an alliance with Senator Conkling, aod putting the nomination of that grtntletnsn by tba convention at Cincinnati beyond any shadow ol doubt or uncertainty. Mr. Morton should take warning by tbe dissensions in the Democratic party. Those dissensions threaten to perform 'lor that party In the approaching election the same service which the folly of ita managers has for a long time past periodically 'performed every four years. Would It not b well fcr Mr. Mor;on to take care that such dlssensiors shall co longer add to tbe danger of th Republican part 7 Le: him also make lriecds with Senator Con Kling, and render his cominatlon certiin. There is nothiDg eleein this world so beautiful as cordial affection and brotherly harmony among politicians of tie same str'ps.
