HENDRICKS FOR PRESI DENT. The chances for Governor Hendricks for receiving the'Democratic nomination at St. Louis were never better than they are to-day. With each passing day, too, they are growing brighter. In accord ance with the ancient policy of the party any candidate to receive the nomination must obtain two thirds of all the votes in the convention. At the present time there is no mistaking the fact that Governor Tilden leads the list of aspirants. Me will go into the convention with very near, if not quite a majority of the delegates. Next to him in the number of delegates already pledged or recognized as favorable to him comes Governor Hendricks. Without question a great number of ballots must be taken before any nomination is reached. With each successive ballot there is every reason to suppose that Tilden will lose and Hendricks gain votes. In the first place, there is a formidable opposition to Governor Tilden in the New York delegation. At the first it was supposed that this opposition •was confined to the Tammanv Hall delegates, of New York City. Their opposition was natural, and to be expected.

Governor Tilden did more than any single man to unearth the frauds of Tweed' and to bring that monster rascal to punishment. It is but natural therefore that the successors of the boss s'hould bear Tilden no good will. But so far from their enmity hurting him, it would be an element of strength to him. The fact that the delegates have received instruction from the convention which chose them to vote as a unit, will secure the solid vote of the State to Tilden for a while. But the opposition to him it seems, is not confined to Tammany, but embraces in its rauks many prominent and influential men, who, for reasons that shall be mentioned later, are against him. Before many ballots havo been cast, some one of these delegates is sure to speak out in the convention, and if his advocacy of the rights of the minority does not at the first succeed in dividing the vote of the State, it will have a powerful effect on the balance of the convention, and it is not improbable that it will so appeal to the idea of fair play in either close delegation* as to make them turn from Tilden. Their votes will naturally gravitate to the candidate with the next highest number of votes. That man will be Hendricks.

Again, a very strong argument against Tilden,—and we incline to the theory tha1 it will have very great weight in the convention once open expression is given to it,—is that the three last candidates of Democracy have been taken from New York and that they have led the party to an unbroken series of defeats. Conventions are superstitious bodies and New York candidates have not been lucky ones for the party. More than this there is a sort of notion abroad that presidential honors ought to be diffused over tfie country and that it is now about time for the West to receive recognition. Hendricks is a Western man, and comes from a state hitherto not honored with the naming of a presidential candidate, though she has da ne yearnan service in the ranks.

Governor Tilden, of all the candidates before the convention ha6 been most outspoken "and determined in his utterances. He has refused to compromise, lie has stood unflinchingly by his opinions. He has insisted that Democracy should be true to its traditions and its history, that it should hold to those fundamental principles of governmental policy which have distinguished it in the past and made it a partv of ideas. He has refused to look upon the rag baby as anything other than the miserable little bastard that it is, has denied that it was of Democratic origin, and has explicitly declined to do anytlyng for it or have anything to do with it except attend its, funeral. We mention all this to his honor, and it is really a matter of regret that the correctness. of his views and the fearlessness of his expressibn of them should not secure to him the nomination. Against him all the Billallenites pf the nation will he arrayed in fierce and furious opposition and though they will be as far from nominating their man a* they -will secure the defeat of Tilden. After fierce contention between these factions it will be found necessary to choose a compromise candidate. That

man

win be Hendricks. His principles will be satisfactory to the friends of Tilden. 1 lis location in the west will please the friends of'Allen. Besides this his record is of the very best, and all sides qnjl| all factions recognize in him a man pf brood Tiewrs imd of

i«

tegrity. If he shall exactly suit neither faction in his financial opinions, both will be pleased with the prospect of having the public money, cf whatever" character or description it may be, faithfully collected and honestly disbursed. This is more important than the kind of money we shall have and there is a growing feeling, that if the leaks should be stopped, our currency would be found amply sufficient for the wants of trade. For these reasons we incline to the theory, that, beginning with a strong follow lowing. Governor Hendricks will gain with each successive ballot until he will finally receive the nomination to the great satisfaction of the whole convention, and of the entire party.

jr ... Mcgrnphic columns of to-day's GAZETTE A:-

nd full particulars

of the charges preferred by one Harney against M. C. Kerr, Congressman from the New Albany district in this state and Speaker ofthe House ofRepresentatives It appears that Harney in the year 1S66 was one of the door keepers of the House ofRepresentatives. The charge he prefers against Mr. Kerr is that he bartered with him for the purchase of an appointment in the army for a friend of his by the name of Greene. He declares no fault can be found with the explicitness of the charge—that Kerr demanded for making the appointment that he offered $400, and that they finally compromised on $450. That sum he states he paid to Mr. Kerr. This is the charge. It rests upon the unsupported oath of Harney. Now let us examine the evidence to the contrary, first stating that there is no dispute upon the question of Mr. Kerr's having appointed Greene (1.) Harney is now an appraiser ii 'or officers being Messrs. Bliss and Dar ling, well know politicians of New York, who run the machine for Roscoe Conk ling. The argument deducible from this fact is that these men, to whom in the past no point of honor has given pause have compelled Harney, either by bribes or threats, to swear to these charges, which, if sustained, would be an offset to the Belknap or Babcock cases. 2. Some weeks ago a black-mailing let ter was received by Mr. Kerr, intimating those tuings which Mr. Harney now swears to, and saying that silence could be purchased. The letter was undoubtedly written by Harney, and was an attempt to frighten Mr. Kerr into some sort of an effort to stop a -scandalous though lying charge, and so strengthen a case against him. Unlike a guilty man, Mr. Kerr immediately called his friends around him, read the letter, and expressed his determination to read it before the House, and demand an investigation. This he refrained from doing at their suggestion, that the matter in its then shape, was beneath his attention. 3. Mr. Kerr denies the charge in each and every part, severally anjj collectively, as a bare faced and brazenlie. Mr. Kerr is a gentleman whose word is weighty by reason of a long life in public service,Wherein, though bitterly opposed by political foes, his personal integrity has never yet been impeached. He is a poor man now. We do not mean to say that poverty alone, is an argument in favor of a man's integrity. There are plenty of poor spendthrifts up and down the l,md who have stolen poor funds. Their poverty does not prove their honesty, but their wasteful prodigality. We dare wager that Belknap is a comparatively poor man to-day. though the wages of his political sins flowed to his coffers with almost the regularity of an annuity His ill gotten gains were spent in lavish dressing and extravagant living. Mr. Kerr's case is different. He is another tvpe of man altogether. His mode of ife has been frugal and simple. As/one of the leaders of Democracy in thc

House during many years, had he been willing to trade upon his honor, he could have made.a fortune. Ilispoverty is an eloquent plea to his incorniptibilitv. 4. A. P. Greene, who received his appointment through Mr. Kerr's influence emphatically denies, so fat* as his knowl edge reaches, that any -money was paid to Mr. Kerr. Mr. Kerr, he says, examined him carefully as to his qualifications, before recommending his appointment. He never understood that he was paid anything. It must be remembered that Harney testified that he told Greene that Kerr demanded $500, and that Greene counted over his meney before Harney, and havingfonly $410, gave that to Harney, who added $40 of his own. This Greene denies, explicitly and emphatically. Remembering further, that Greene, has no motive for lying, being now out of the service, and that Harney has, being an officer in the New York Custom House, under Republican control, it will be 6een that in a conflict oC testimony, Greene's word is the weightier. (5.} Persons present at the examination of Harney, both- Republicans and Democrats unite in declaring that his manner in testifying was that of a man committing perjury. Attorneys, and others famiKar with the examination of witnesses,will understand the force this statement made by persens present while he was testifying.

If the case was left in its present condition ahef not another word of taken, it is plain that every fair man in the land must acquit Mr. Kerr of the crime with whicfi he is.chaiwe^/Shat a conspiracy against "hitt," a 'deep and' damnable conspiracy, coqked up in the rottca recesses ofthe New York Custom House, where IMf the political crimes bf

theJc$uhtiVare hatched, is already plain Left with the American people in its present shape, Mr. Kerr's fair fame would not suffer. But the case will not be left !n its present shape. It must be pushed further, and probed to the bottom And it will end in the conviction of Har ney as a perjurer. His punishment should be swift and terrible.

DISTRICT ATTORNEY BLISS, orfe of the backers of Harney in his testimony against Kerr, is the gentleman who sent out a government detective to St. Louis to steal the evidence from Dyer and give it to Babcock and his attorneys. He is a scoundrel ofthe deepest dye. Where a criminal is Bliss, it is folly for him to be at large.

Bob's troubles thicken.

AITDCL-AZIZ KHAN, Sultan of Turkey has been formally deposed, and his son now reigns in his stead at Constantinople. The fact that 'Zizy has so long held power,and indeed the further fact that his Empire has not been swallowed up' by his neighbors, or eate,n up by the Russian bear, is one of the resnlts of that even balancing of power in,' Europe. Russia would have made quick work" with thc Sultan and his Kingdom, had she not been restrained by the other powers of Europe, which would not have permitted such an incVease of the power and influence of Russia, without going to war about it. This jealousy among his neighbors, has been the cause of his retention of power. Known for years as the Sick man oi Europe, his throne has been on thc eve of tumbling in pieces ab6ut his ears, a dozen times in twice as many years, from civil dissessions, but his neighbors, liking not him at all, but jealous of one another, have propped him up and'sustained him. At last, however, matters had become unendurable. Civil feuds have racked and torn his kingdom. His credit has sunk in the commercial centers of the world rtntil it is almost worthless. In this desperate straight his cabinet on Monday night quietly deposed the old fellow and concluded to try his son Murad Effendi. This party must have a marvellous faculty for wrong doing if he does not make a better ruler than his much married papa, who was the most harem-scarem fellow living.
