A PERAMBULATING CAPITAL.
From the N. Y. San.

The citizens of st. Louis desire the removal
of the national capital from Washington to
the Mississippi valley. They held a meeting
to consider the question on the 10th of this
month, and resolutions were passed in favor
of calling convention composed of delegates
from all the States, to consider the whole
subject, and secure if possible the desired
removal committee was appointed with
authority to arrange for the holding of the
convention contemplated in the resolutions.
The meeting was enthusiastic, and was adj
dressed by the most prominent citizens of st.
Louis. There can be no doubt that the OBJ
ject in view is to make st. Louis the national
capital, although this was not expressly
avowed in the resolutions.
This proposal to move the capital seems to
us unnecessary and untimely. There are few
countries in the world in which the capital
occupies central geographical position.
Therefore it cannot be said that precedents
are against the situation of Washington. 1t
is true that in Europe the capitals of States
are usually the largest and most important
cities but, following the analogy the capital
of the United States should be, not city in
the Mississippi Valley, but the city of New
York, the metropolis of the country to-day,
and destined to remain so as long as our his
tory shall endure.
The Government has spent enormous sums
Ol money dJ w dSllnBIOn, Wnlcn nave been
only wasted if the capital is to be removed.
Similar buildings would have to be erected
elsewhere, at an expense far exceeding that
of those at Washington for none which are
| suitable for the purposes of the Government
exist in any other city in the Union.
| What advantage can be found in a change ?
| Washington is free from verymany of the
corrupt political influences which almost in
evtably make themselves felt in great city.
There is corruption there, it is true, but only
that which surrounds the National Govern
ment. The political wickedness of a great
city is not added to this.
The increased facility and rapidity of travel
consequent upon the increase in the number
of railroads and other means of communica-
tion throughout the land, render it of very
little importance that the national capital
should be situated at the geographical centre.
The argument to the contrary loses all its force
when we remember that the journey from
San Francisco to New York occupies but
seven days.
If the capital of the United States is ever
to be removed from Washington, it should
not be now. The country is in a condition
of perpetual progression, whichrenders it inn.
possible to fOresee its future wants. course
of action which may seem best now would he
likely to seem very different when the oreat
Western country is densely populated
We favor every kind Of change which seems
likely to prove beneficial; but this proposal
with reference to the national capital does mo-
seem so to us.

among the Democrats of Ohio with regard to
their candidates financial policy and other
issues, are oyer-hasty in jumping at conclu-
sions. These papers, by-the-by, are mainly
at the East; the Western papers are better
informed and the Cincinnati Commercial, the
shrewdest and abest Republican journal at
the West-and it has few if any, superiors In
any section-confesses that Mr.. Pendleton is
a very strong candidate, and that it will be
difficult to defeat him.
This view of the matter is just for the fol-
lowing reasons:-AIr. Pendeton has per-
sonal prestige which attaches to no other
candidate whom the Democrats in that State
could have nominated. No man at the West
has more or warmer personal friends Ihis
large personal following will make the cam
paign an interesting and exciting one, Tor
many prominent men in Ohio will feel and
take a strong and immediate interest in the
success of their candidate. In the next place,
Mr.. Pendleton is confessed candidate for
the Presidency; and this fact, which really
introduces a Presidential issue in this State
canvass will bring out all the energy vlgor,
and hearty goodwill of the whole Democratic
party, as well as of Mr. Pendletons immediate
friends 1t is a fact which will fuse the diff
ferences-if there are any in the party in
Ohio-into a solid and substantial settlement.
Presidential issue in State election always
brings out the whole strength of the party;
and, as Mr.. Pendletons success in this
election will put him in the very front rank
of candidates before the next Democratic
Convention to nominate a successor to Mr..
Grant, the Ohio Democrats, with this end in
view, will work with unusual will.
On the other hand, Mr.. Hayes, the Repub-
lcan candidate has nothing beyond his Re
publicanism to commend him to his party.
lie has no personal popularity to speak Of.
He has displayed no executive ability. He is
running upon the smallest amount of political
capital The Republicans in Ohio, as in other
States are suffering from the reaction of the
late Presidential election. They are disgusted
with Grant, and they may let the election go
by default for the sake of rebu1ling their Pre-
sident The same motive too, which will
prompt the Democrats to put forth their
strongest efforts-to wit: the prominence
which Mr.. Pendleton's success will give him
in the next Democratic Presidential Conven-
ton - will unquestionably influence many
Republicans who would like to see Mr.. Pen
deton foremost among the candidates, in the
hope of creating dissensions in that same con-
vention. They will consider this a bit Of
strategy worth sacrificing Hayes for.
All these things considered, the probabili-
ties highly favor the election of Mr.. Pendleton,
and every Democrat in the country will re-
ioice in his success.

SICKLES.
From the N. Y. World,

eve take the liberty of doubling the statement
that Senator Sumner has taken pains to write let
ter to a riend of General Sickes guaranteeing the
confirmation of that person as Minister to Spain,
when the matter should come before the Senate.
Mr. Sumner is not in the habit of doing such things,
and he ought to know the true character OF Sickes
too well even 10 vote for his confirmation,
much more to undertake to carry 1t through the
Senate II was bad enough in General Grant to
nominate him; but it will be far worse to have the
Senate confirm him. Let him come home and go to
place where his past reputation will be less in
the way, and his talents which are not small, may
be more useful Springfield Republican.
We have little hope for the virtue of the
Radical Senate. If it rejects Sickles it will
take advantage of the Fitzpatrick law, and put
that rejection upon a technicality which
should be grounded on the cOuntry's honor.
We have never denied the services of Sick
les to his party, nor objected to their requital
in some decent manner. Fewmen have done
the Radical party more etfectual service than
he. When dirty work was to be DONE he has
performed his allotted task with cOngenial
facility. Certainly, the Radical party is under
the most weighty obligations to him, but it
was not necessary that those obligations
should be requited, by General Grant, with q
foreign mission which imposes his presence
upon the refined and pure society of a foreign
capital, and inficts an insult upon every
honest man and every vrtuous woman in the
society which he is assigned to represent.
1t is an insult to the army and a degrada-
ton of its esprit de corps that he should be in
it; but is there no Office of profit, but not of
honor, to which he can be assigned where
his unquestioned talents may have play where
his opportunities for stealing would be small,
and where his life might be obscure and his
past forgotten? or will the pious Dodge and
the honest Greeley insist upon eminence for
this object Of their friendship, respect, and
esteem p

FRENCH REFORM.
From the n. Y. Tribune.

The imperial plan of reform, as given by
the French press, does not materially vary
from our kilograms. The Emperor and his
Corps may initiate laws-a legislative right
hitherto dev0ured by the Government His
ministers may be legislators, and in any case
have parliamentary hearing, and though, as
hitherto, impeachable only by the Senate, are
responsible. These provisions would tend to
make the French administration as represent
ative as that of Great Britain, were 1t not for
. suspicion of the Emperor's stipulation that
his ministers depend only from himself Sc
material sittings are to be made public, but a
request from five members may establish
secrecy, as was formerly the case with the
LEGISLATIVE body, SO that the Senate will still

A bill has been introduced into
the Legislature of Ohio by Mr..
Walling, of Pickaway county, max.
ing it penitentiary offense for a
person not being white male citi-
zen of the United States to vote. -
This measure does not touch the
mooted visible admixture question,
but simply supplies cdsuS omiSsuS
in our statutes. When the election
law OF 1s41 was passed, penalties
were inflicted on all other kinds Of
illegal voting, but were silent on
this point, because ut that time no
one supposed that manifest negroes
would ever be voted In Ohio. AT
the late elections hundreds of these
illegal votes were polled outside Of
even the decision Of our Radical Su.
preme Court. No honest man can
object TO n law which inAlcts the
same penalty for illegal voting on u
negro rs now stands on the, statute.
book against a white man.
The Radicals in the Legislature
who may oppose this bill will show
themselves openly in favor of stuff
ing the llot.box with illegal votes,
whenever il can be mado to count in
favor of their party.
The warranty Of tho immediate
passage Of such q law is shown by
the fact that Greene county last fall
