Salnave's final downfall seems to be cOtem-
r,orary with that of Lopez. The bombardment
of Port-au- Prince. the total destruction of its
palace, the arrival of President Saget at the
city, and the retreat OF Salnave into one OF
his fortresses, go to prove that the Haytian
Dictator has been hard pressed. But it does
not satisfy us that his cause has altogether
given up the ghost With one thou
sand men in Fort National, he may have
the ability, as he has doubtless the courage, to
sustain a siege. He has repeated his declara-
ton that sooner than yield he would destroy
the city; aud now adds that he will kill him
self. We judge that it is quite within his
power to do either, but the latter is not so
probable.

Mayor Hall has so rapidly acquired the Dem
ocratic faculty Of scenting plunder that he al
ready leads the pack in pursuit of the
game. Seeing from his office window pile
of dirt in WarDen-st., he thought there might
be something in it. and finally, learning that
there was q hole at the bottom OF 1t, lie dls-
patched a henchman with q written order to
90 down and learn from personal inspection
how it would repay spoliatiOn, under pretense
that the Mayor must know all about it in or
der to determine whether he would allow the
work to proceed. Now, the excavation was
made by the Pneumatic Dispatch Company,
the managers of which, being of mature age
and sound mind, saw the shadow of the com
ing spoiler in the Mayors messenger, and
barred the entrance to their enterprise against
him by pleading a legislative charter for their
bore; in short, telling the Mayor it was none
of his business, and they did not intend to
entail ruin on themselves by allowing him to
make it his business. But they have only
postponed the evil day; for the Mayor is going
to call the attention of the Legislature to the
subject, and the body which has just submitted
to the dictation of Tammany in the election
of Speaker will, of course, let him into the
hole, with full power to get all possible profit
out of 1t. Under the circumstances, the Com
pany may as well make the Mayor a partner
or abandon the enterprise; for has not that
worthy official announced that all ncOngruities
in municipal affairs are to be annihilated and
is it not highly incongruOus for any possibly
good thing to be going and Tammany not have
q hand in it :

supposes he can blast by innuendo and crush

all of his illustrious predecessors, so zealously

We are informed from Washington that the
Presidents reasons for removing Gov Ashley
of Montana Territory, was that he had de-
serted the Republican party and was using his
Official position to aid the enemies of the Ad-

MES these statements brands the charge
of his deserting the Republican party as a
falsehood, and insists that he supports the Ad-

By it two or three gentlemen are to have
their friends combine together and nominate
each other. In other words, q ''ring" is to
be formed which is to fill all the judicial
Offices at its own pleasure. Rumor ascribes
such method to this device: THAT when two of
the parties in the combination desire to
have the same judgeship, they agree to cast
lots as to which should take the coveted
place, and leave to the one who failed in
his desires the secondary position in the
District Court. We are 10th to be-
lieve that there is any such design. To
have such honors as the bench bestows gam
bled for by competitors is disgrace too deep
to be tolerated. With these tales in the ears
of the public, the community will watch with
a scrutinizing eye the proceedings of the dele
gates, and should their actions give proof to
these rumors, the successful candidates under
the combination" will find that while a
nomination may be decided by lot, an cleo
tion is decided by merit.
We do not, however, apprehend that we
will have any but good men placed in nomi-
nation. But we want men of extensive prac-
tice, considerable experience, and undoubted
integrity. Especially do we need legal ability
in the District Court Before that tribunal
will come all those cases which involve more
than 5000 in their decision. All the compli-
Gated questions of commercial transactions
come there, all the involved intrica-
cies of real estate titles, ALL in fact, Of
the civil causes of our citizens which are of
sufficient moment to merit consideration. In
the breasts of the judges of that court rests
the muniments of title to our property, and
if that department prove faithless, either
through ignorance or evil motives, we are
endangered in our possessions and made liable
to illegal deprivations. Let the judge of that
court, therefore, be a man of matured expe-
rience, high and undoubted moral character,
and one who when tried in public place has
not been found wanting in the discharge of
public duty.
In the Common Pleas we are to have two
judges. All the qualifications we have named
for the District Court are requisites here;
and when, in addition to that, it is remem-
bered that all election questions are for its
decision, the Importance of having high
minded patriot is added, while the fact that
life itself is under their control calls for men
to fill that Office who possess the highest
qualities of head and heart. If the conven-
ton will take candidates in whom these quail
fications are combined, then we will not only
have a great partisan triumph, but by the
result of the October election we will
perform an eminent service to the COM
munity in which we live and over whose des-
TIMES the gentlemen named will have so
important an influence.

N.4TURALIZATION.

The very excellent bill for the regulation of
naturalization introduced in the House of
Representatives by Judge Davis, of New
York, was defeated a few days ago by the
Democrats, with the aid principally of
Western Republican members, with large
foreign constituencies. None of the
opponents of this bill had a single
intelligent argument to urge against it,
1t did not interfere with the rights of single
citizen, and it was only such a measure of
protection as common sense, prudence, and a
due regard for the welfare of the country
and the purity of the ballot-box dictated. Its
sole object was to prevent fraud, and to
secure the real citizens of the country from
being overruled at the elections by the votes
of European emigrants just landed upon
our shores; and yet because it
threatened to put a stop to the shameful
practices by which certain men have OBJ
tanned their seats in the House of Represen-
tatives, it secured the entire vote of the
Democracy and, to their shame be its poken, of
a large number of men who profess to be Re-
pubiicans. The defeat of this bill was a
great misfortune, and it is gratifying to find
that Judge Davis, nothing daunted by the
unfavorable action of the House, persisted in
pressing some measure for the reform of ex-
listing abuses upon its notice; and yesterday he
secured the passage of a bill that, if not as de-
sirable as TINT originally introduced will be
at least partial protection against fraud in
the issuing of naturalization papers. This
bill passed the House yesterday by a strict
party vote of 200 ayes to 46 noes, and as
there is no probability that anything better
will secure the approval of the present Con-
gress, we hope the Senate will pass it without
delay, SO that it may become law.

THE DELEGATE ELEOTTONs.

The Republican voter who carelessly or pur-
posely negects to participate in the delegate
elections to-day will have poor excuse for
complaining of the character and antecedents
of the men placed in nomination tomorrow.
The polls are opened at four o'clock in the
afternoon and close at eight o'clock in the
evening If any of our readers who are en-
titled to a vote have neglected to avail them
selves of the privilege, let them do their duty
to themselves and the Republican party, if it
is not too late by the time this paragraph
meets their eve.
The evening telegraph. [volume] (Philadelphia [Pa.]) 1864-1918, 1870-06-14

The Press of this morning performs an ex-
cellent service to the Republican voters of
this city by publishing, in nine-column ar
ticle, the boundaries of each and every cleo
ton division in the city, and the place at
which the delegate election will be held this
afternoon. With this index in his hand,
no Republican voter will have an excuse for
neglecting his duty this evening. The pre-
paration and publication of such an article is
not less creditable in the way of newspaper
enterprise than it is serviceable to the Re-
publicans of the city.

THE JUDICIAL NOMINATIONS.

TO-DAY the Republican citizens elect dele
gates, who will on the morrow nominate the
party candidates for the three judgeships to
be filed in October. Two of these are to sit
on the Common Pleas bench, and one on that
of the District Court. 1t will seem hardly
necessary for us to dwell on the great i'm
portance of having these offices filed by men
who combine at once the qualifications of
intelligence, integrity, and patriotism. There
is no other place in a republic the influence
of which for good can be so great and for
evil SO hurtful. An executive may be tyran-
nical the people see it and check him, for
with him no discretion is vested The Legis-
lature may be corrupt, and pass laws which
violate the sacred rights of liberty or property;
the judiciary interpret these laws as to cancel
the evil and right the wrong; but if the
Judiciary itself be corrupt or inefficient, there
is no redress within the peoples reach. The
large discretion vested in them is a shield
behind which they can justify their malprac
tices, and the wrongs inflicted upon one per-
son must be often repeated before public at
tention is attracted and public indignation
aroused. These considerations in theory are
enough to provoke general interest in the
choice of those who are to wear the ermine,
but when we see the fearful ills arising from
bad judges practically exemplifed in our sis
ter city of New York, we have undoubted
proof that our property, liberty, even life it.
self, depend on our acting with a wise dis
cretion in their choice.
We have heretofore preserved studied
silence in regard to the judicial nominations
IL L 4 - IL
by the popularity or merit of the competitors
we could with safety let the choice go without
any attempt at influence or warning. But
the rumors which have been circulated of late
have been so generally spread that it is we'll
to call the attention of our citizens to some
of the dangers which they run, should the
Vaccinations or combinations of interested
parties prevail. And to the gentlemen who
are to act as delegates we would give one
cardinal rule of guidance, Vote against tho
man aohO asks yOu TO cote for him. No
man is fit for such an Office of dig
nifty and honor who will solicit
support as a beggar solicits aims from all
whom he encounters. Yet we hear it said
that So-and-so is ''canvassing the city" and
that such and such candidate has got such g
precinct ''set up for him. Surely we have
indeed sunk low when the Office which has
been filed by many of the purest and ablesi
of Pennsylvania's citizens shall be occupied
by men who huckster their personal claims
from polling booth to polling booth, and ex.
hibit their own merits, like ''Coriolanus" did
his wounds, as claims for popular suffrage.
Against all such every right-minded delegate
will set his face.
Again, we are told of most atrocious pro
Oeeding which calls itself combination,
and which is to dispose of all the judgeships.

tanned
The message sums up the present situation
in Cuba as one of guerilla warfare. 1t alleges
that the insurrection ''seems to be confined
to an irregular system of hostilities car
ried on by small and lily armed bands of
men, roaming without concentration through
the woods and the sparsely populated regions
of the island, attacking, from ambush, con-
voys and small bands of troops, burning
plantations and the estates of those not SYM
pathizing with their cause" 1t further adds
that while the Spanish authorities have
issued murderous and revengeful DEGREES, the
Cuban chief 'shas admitted the slaughter by
his own deliberate order, in one day, of up
wards of six hundred and fifty prisoners of
war !" Cruel as the Spaniards are, the
Cubans seem, if possible, to be still more
relentless, and the contest is more like that
waged on our frontiers in times of Indian
hostilities than the combats of civilized
mankind. Red Cloud, Billy Bowlegs, Black
Hawk, Tecumseh, King Philip, and Pow
hatan, rather than George Washington
Thomas Jefferson, and John Adams, furnish
the type of the Cuban patriot of 1870. And
we trust that it will be impossible for any
press to issue enough Cuban bonds to blind
the eyes of the people or of Congress to the
impropriety and impolicy of premature re-
cognition of Cuban belligerency.
