on Resolutions and the Committee on Credentials
The Committee on Resolutions in reply TO an inqui.
ry stated that they would report yesterday (Wednes
day. at 10 o'clock, A. M. The Committee on Gre
dentals has leave to sit during the sessions of the
| Convention. The New York case has been, and
perhaps still Is before it. The Committee will ex.
| anime the case fully and fairly, with a view to the
satisfactory arrangement OF the difficulty. if such
be arrived at If motif, through the stubbornness
OF the contendng factions, such arrangement be pre-
Vented-the Committee and the Convention must and
will wash their hands of the whole affair. ma.
tonal and national platform must be presented
by the balance of the States and the true Democracy
of New York invited TO rally around the standard
AS to the rumors put afoat by gossipping newspa-
per correspondents, We again say that they amount
nothing at all and are not worth quoting. We think
ii improbable that any balottng was done Yesterday
1t is pretty certain that the reports of the Commit
tees on Platform and Credentials occupied the most
of yesterday and these things must be settled be-
fore voting is proceeded with.-Ibid, Thursday 5h.
o. The papers are busy specializing upon the prob
able results likely to flow from the action of gov
eminent in dismissing Mr. Champion, who has al.
legation, who have also demanded their passports
The archives etc, have been turned TO M. Sar-
tges, the French Minister. So that it would appear
that not only Mr. Champion, but the embassy is gone
Some appear to take very dismal and dreary view
of things We are to have war, and we are also,
say they, sure to suffer Indeed of these good
people, in pursuance of their usual custom, appear
to be getting ready to take the part of nybody else
against their country, and TO throw all the blame
upon the American Executive. Well, such things
always have been and always will be. There are
those whose terrible Americanism would always lead
them to sheer at the poor emigrant, mainly because
he is poor, while at the same time they ready TO
fall down and worship every British ordlng because
he not poor and 10 take sides with the lordy court
and cabinet of Great Britain against their own cabi
net, should it happen to be Democratic The war of
1912 showed this, and the war with Mexico was not
without It's examples.
We do not underrate the gravity of the crisis or
the spirit and power of Great Britain 1t is nonsense
10 say that she will not fight and make strong fight
too, where her government and people cordially
united. But she will not fight over Mr.. Champion,
and not France, anxious she certainly is to
see the two powers, who stand substantially ahead
of her in resources derived from commerce and in
dustry, destroy each other, can urge on fight upon
that score. At least such is Cur opinion. Mr. Dali
las may or he may not receive his passports. We
think he will. But that is not war, although it must
be confessed that leads state of feelings out of
which war may more readily arise than it would un-
der more favorable circumstances
The Central American difficulty is really the most
difficult of adjustment because it involves something
tangible and not diplomatic etiquette upon mat
tiers already settled between the two governments-
Still even that, think can and will be arranged
If anything can reduce the remote contingency of
war into certainty, it will be the confidence which
European governments may derive from dsjoint-
ed state at hcme-frcm the attempts made to divide
the people of the country upon questions of sec
onal institutions, religious faith locality of birth
But those who form calculations based on this state
of things will be disappointed. An attack from
without would unite all true men, and put down all
disturbing demagogues Instead of weakening
the Union, it would give it vitality.
