The EDITORIAL HARNESS. Is reported
that Mr.. Bigelow has withdrawn from the
editorial management of the New York
Times, and Is to be succeeded by Mr.. Fred
eric Hudson, for many years managing edi-
tor of the New York Herald. There has
been sundry symptoms of state of dscon-
tent In the Times office for some time. Aside
from this, however, Mr.. Bigelow's admins
tration docs not strike outsiders as having
been a success. The paper has certainly not
improved In enterprise, force, and readable
ness under his control, and many think II
retrograded. This is contrary to the expec-
tations Of all who knew Mr.. Blgelow as an
editor In former years. We should not be
surprised II II Is wholly owing to his several
years. absence from the profession and from
the country. There is no other pursuit which
demands such q continual wearing of the
harness, In order to keep up with the times,
as the editorial. A few months absence
even will make an editor feel as II everything
had rushed by him, and he will hardly know
how to get to work again. Particularly has
this been the case since the war, which estab-
lished great gulf between the Journalism of
the country before and since.
The requirements, the methods and the
whole standard Of the profession have been
immensely advanced within the last ten
years. We do not see how 1t Is possible,
therefore, for Mr.. Bigelow, who has been liv-
ing quietly In Paris during the greater part
ofthis changing era, to have kept himself
abreast Of the editorial demands Of first
class daily journal. We may add that Mr..
Hudson will experience something Of the
same difficulty. He has been retired for
four or five years from active duty on &C.
count Of Ill health, and has been pleasantly
living In the country. This is more favora-
bio than to have staid abroad, for the pro-
gress OF Journalism has been constantly
under his practiced eye. He will, however,
find 1t hard work to resume the editorial har-
re',s and to wear 1t as easily and effectively
as OF yore. He will, at any rate. have tho
profession, who will eagerly welcome him
among them again.-Boston Journal.

ity. All OF the States will probably have
full delegations holding the commissions of
the Governors and acting In behalf of the
people, for whom they are thus entitled to
speak, The Peace Congress Of 1851, at
Washington, which sought to avert the war,
was composed Of delegates appointed In like
manner by the Governors, the cities also ap-
pointing their best men.
The Philadelphia papers (notlcing the pre-
eminent character Of the New York appoint
ments) have been filled with urgent appeals
that Pennsylvania should select her best
men. In consequence the Philadelphia rep
resentatiyes, eighty In number, will be care
fully selected. New York will send over one
hundred.
This assemblage is national one, and no
sectional interests are to be subserved. True,
we propose to consider Southern questions,
but not In the sense of past sectional con-
ventions. What We do will be simply to
urge the adoption Of such measures and such
future policy that shall benefit tho whole
country. We wish no advantages which
may result In detriment to Northern in
