pfIAcTS-MONTAG.

There is not day in the year which will call out
the German population OF our city In such numbers
as the Monday after Pentecost And IL the weather
is anything like fair 1t is safe to reckon at least
fifty or perhaps a hundred thousand people visiting
the parks and suburbs Yesterday being the finest
day we have yet had, Of course larger number OF
people avaied themselves Of the opportunity and all
the up town parks where picnics were announced,
were crowded TO excess The New York Saenger-
bund at Jones' Wood had more than ten thousand
visitors, and 80 1t was at all the other parks IN
proportion At the Saengerbund picnic we Iound
this fault-that their concert was entirely unappre-
cated The vocal and instrumental performers stood
on level with the crowd, and amid the hum OF the
OF the performance Of the several pieces announced,
nor even the Battle Hymn, from "kenzP' OF Wagner,
In which force OF sound Is Of the most necessary
attributes. Had their concert been as handsome as
their turnout In the morning, when they marched IN
procession with Mr.. John KOCH Jr az Grand Mar
shal, down the Bowery to the boat, they would have
carried OF the palm. At Robenstens Bellevue
Park the Saengerlust assisted by a number %, o,
other societies had AL picnic; r,,C,ns,ed was we u
deemed satisfactory. At Suffers East River PARK M

their May or rather s'Pnngst" festival. The United
Liedertafel OF tne Reformers under the control or
John Humbert as president, did everything to make
their guests comfortable but IN IN p1d pandord al % Of vocal
music very little could be observed. They sung weli
the old lyric, "Auf den freen lichten monen n Vn On
the Mountains Free and Clearer'') and also the
"vaterland, o German patriotic song by Ark; but
that either was sung well we viii not say AZ

The Fcnians ut Work Again.

The Fenian alarm is again sounded. The
Canadians are once more in state of pertur
baton at rumors about another invasion by the
terrible Fenans, and the New Dominion bayO-
nets are being frightened up in anticipation Of
fight II is a curious fact that just about the
eve of an election campaign these Fenians, who
number say four hundred thousand strong in
the United States, make great stir and halla-
baloo about pitching into the British govern
ment through the Canadian border They
have some enterprising leaders among them,
who always keep sharp eye to windward, and
they may unite and get up some sort of pro-
gramme for Canadian invasion about this time;
but it is doubtful if it will be ever carried out
the real purpose being fOray upon the purses
Of patriots and politicians, and possibly to
frighten the poor Canadians, as they did at
Ridgeway and Slabtown two years ago. The
Presidential election comes in very happily
at this juncture The political managers
have a large amount of cash on hand,
and it will not do to let these four
hundred thousand boI.1 Fenians lay around
loose Both the q g'eat parties will be
after them with clash ings of cash. The
'Fenlans generally are opposed to the radicals;
but the loftincss of tn; ir purpose will not
suffer them to decline money in aid OF it, come
from what quarter it may. Now let us see
what may be expected to foA ow. The Fenians
will makea feint at some poh1 on the Cana
dian border-St. Adams is cool and con-
venient one. The United Sta tes troops will
be ordered to knock this matter on the head, as
they were two years since. Ga neral Grant
as the head Of the army and the 1 adical calfdi-
date for the Presidency-wili be required to
see that this work is promptly exA ;uted Then
stand aside while the grand explea ion occurs.
1t viii be found that this Feuian m ovement is
not only for an invasion into Calrna but also
into the repose of General Grant. = ie military
organization of the body via bece,1 demor-
allied and the leaders placed tempo rarily in
limbo. But the political organization will still
remain, and then woe to General Grasl and to
all who interrupted the execution Of th plans
of the Fenians with their nearly half a million
of votes. They cannot, of course, b. q 'unted
upon for General Grant Thus may the
Fenians settle the Presidential election, efeat
Grant and elect the democratic Candidate.

SoHoFIELp's FIRST DECLARATION AS SEcRE-
TARY OF Wharf.-The first word we hear from
the new Secretary has pleasant sound. It
informs us that General Stoneman will succeed
to the post made vacant by Schofeld's appoint

sponsible position man in every way worthy
of it-a gallant soldier and one who, as Mill
tary Governor, will only act from his nature In
administering his office in an impartial spiri

THE KANSAS LAND Jon AND OTHER Bra
JoBs.---Our Washington correspondence yes
terday exposed big and atrocious job in the
former Cherokee lands in Kansas, in which
the Department of the Interior had o hand.
We had at the same time accounts Of tre-
mendous job under way for another Pacific
railroad, with all the land grants aud money
which have been lavished on the other routes.
But what is the use Of talking about these johs !?
They cannot be stopped; they will go on.
Some good may come out of the Pacific rail-
roads by opening communication across the
Continent, however much the public may be
fleeced or have to pay. And as TO the rest,
the best way, perhaps, is to Let them go on
without interference till the villany and cor
ruption connected with them culminate and

The Presidential COntest-What Are tht
Principles InvOlvcds

Principles InvOlvcdF
What are the principles involved in the con-
test for the Presidency upon which the country
is entering On what facts or what opinions
are the people at issue, and what will it
signify, what objects will be gained, what
purposes furthered, if Grant is elected on the
one hand or defeated on the other? Does the
contest mean anything more than a choice be-
tween Grant and man not yet named or the
question which Of two sets of politicians
shall possess the spoils? These are the
queries for which every man who desires to
vote intelligently in the present grave state Of
the country must first find answers.
All the promises that the republican orgaui-
zation means formally and officially to make it
has already made, and all the insight it will
offer into the pecuarities of its policy is given
in its platform and in the name of its candidate.
In its platform this party declares no principles.
1t only puts forth series of negatives, and
even these are indistinct generalisations, that
bind no one and commit the party to nothing.
What they say any man can say, no matter
what may be his politics or his views of the
| national necessities. In order to ascertain
what the principles of this party are it is neces-
sary to examine its history in the past three
years of peace and to consider the
very complete declaration of his position
made by their candidate. Since the
end of the war this republican party has acted
persistently on one idea-revolution; revolu-
tonary reconstruction of our government so
as to give all power to an oligarchy in Con-
gress. This is the one object they have sought,
the one purpose they have persistently pur-
sued and kept in sight in every measure. All
things that were likely to aid in the accom-
plishment of this they have favored; all that
stood in the way they have endeavored tc
trample down. Their original establishment
of military despotism in the South theiI
desperate attempt to abolish and stamp out
the Executive; their assault on the Supreme
Court of the United States-all were inspired
by the same idea of securing the absolute
domination of an olgarchy through revolution
and the overthrow of that fabric of govern
ment set up by the constitution.
Military despotism, then, supported by i'm
mense taxation and railing at the will of an oil
garchy of arrogant politicians in Congress
is what the republicans have labored fo
in the past. Within this simple and compre
hensivc programme lie all their principles, al
their political ideas; and for this programme
: they will labor more energetically and witt
more resolute persistency in the future
They will extend the sphere of its opera
ton also. Grant accepts their programm
/ fully, unreservedly, slavishly, and deibc
: rately promises beforehand that he wi

The Chinese Embassy at washington.


The Chinese Embassy after short stay in
this city have gone to Washington to attend to
the real business of the mission. They were
precluded upon point of etiquette and pro-
priety from receiving any public ovation while
here, because they had not been through the Off
cial form representation at Washington, though
they received many cordial and hattering at
tentions in private way. Both at San Fran
cisco and New York they were cordially re-
ceived, and these marked attentions from our
citizens were only preliminary to the hearty
welcome they will receive both officially and
uno6icially at the seat of government. Off
cially they will be received at Washington
with all honor and dignity becoming such an
important and unprecedented mission, and
Mr.. Seward will put on his most approving
smile. The government in all its branches
will mark the extraordinary event as becomes
great and friendly Power. There can be no
doubt of its success in this country, for it
means progress and more intimate relations
between the Oldest and most populous empire
and the greatest republic of the world. 1t will
leave the shores of America with the most
favorable impressions and with a prestige
that will have the happiest effect in the other
nations of the Western World to which it is
going
The Embassy, after having finished its
official business with the government at Wash
ington, will return to this metropolis, and then
will be received in a becoming public manner.
The Chamber of Commerce has already taken
steps to this end. The city authorities, we
suppose, will also act in the matter. But
while We hope to see every department and all
our citizens do what they can to give 6clat
to the occasion, we recommend the Chamber
of Commerce to take the lead. The Aldermen
and Council of the city would probably want
to make job and drinking spree out of it,
while the Chamber of Commerce would give
the reception and entertainment more re-
spectacle character. The entertainment should
be on the largest and most impressive scale.
It should be grand fste champetre in the
Park, at the old monastery on Monastery
hill. At that sacred and beautiful spot there
could be imbibed with the champagne the pious
feelings pertaining to that holy locality. But
by all means let the Aldermen and Councilmen
be kept in the background, for fear they might
get drunk and desecrate the spot and the occa-
sion. We want to show these distinguished
and learned Chinese when they return to the
metropolis that we are people of taste as well
as of hospitality; and we recommend them
not to go to an obscure small hotel again, in the
vicinity of Mackerelville, but to the Fifth
Avenue or some other good and large hotel
where persons of their station and dignity
should 60, and where our respectable citizens
could see them. The Japanese Embassy,
about which so much noise was made, was
small affair in every way, compared with this
from China, and we have no doubt the great
metropolis Of America will give due honor
to it.

conduct of the Impeachment Managers in their
present investigation but foretaste of what
would follow with such men in power? Here
we have all the personal rights of the citizen
invaded at once. Without any process of law
whatever man is deprived Of his liberty and
thrust into cell at the mere bidding of poll
teal bully. The secrecy of the telegraph and
Post Office is violated as no man would dare
to violate it in despotic France. Men who
do such things merely because they have the
power will know no limit but that of their
power in enforcing their will. With the gov
ernment in their hands and administered by
their tool we would see law passed in Con-
gress to give the government the same author
ity over the Northern that it has over the
Southern States, and Grant, with the Habeas
Corpus act suspended, executing that law
In the success of the radicals the people
may foresee the supremacy of such principles;
and in supporting the opposing party they give
their voices for the supremacy of the constitu-
ton and return to the old established order
of our government. This is assuming that the
democrats will nominate Chase. We believe
they will do this for the simple reason that
Chase is the only man with whom they can win.
They can elect no other; and it is only
question with them whether they will elect the
Chief Justice or be beaten. Chases name
indicates the principles of the party that
sustains him. He is the only man of great
intellect in our politics who has conspicuously
stood for the conservation of a government of
law and opposed the fury of the radicals. He
made his first point against these extremists
in the courts of North Carolina in determining
against a military order of General Sickles,
and he has consistently pursued the same idea
through this great effort to remove the Execu-
tive by political inquest. His conduct on this
trial stamps him a man of exalted character,
uncompromising honesty and resolute to do
what is right.
In the history of one party and in the posi-
BILE candidate of the other men may see what
each aims at, and may determine calmly
whether they will go with the radicals in a
revolutionary change toward despotism or
with the conservatives for an assertion of the
supremacy of the law and for securing the
rights and liberties of the people
