mocracy. Why, then, after their victory do
they bring the leaders Of this faction into
situations Of importance and prsht3 Harry
Genet Il rich enough, probably, not to care
about the spoilD or to accept any Office ether
than he has as Senator; but Norton, Dreamer
and others are, It seems quite willing. The
new City Hall has been an enormous plum for
the leading politicians and their friends, and
while we do not say Mr.. Norton win find
another one he is placed In q situation to
search for 1t. II Is curious to see, too, the
overwhelming Christian charity OF the ring
magnates to the so-called democratic organ
of this city which recently assailed them
with the vilest epithets. This is giving
ones cloak to the man who steals the coat
with vengeance. This may be very well
according to Christian ethics, but Is doubtful
policy In such case. The Tammany leaders
were in position to ignore the slippery fell
lows who only opposed them for the sake of
making bargain, and who would oppose
them again tomorrow If they could make
more by it. These leaders should have given
the boilers the go-by and appointed the most
respectable men in the community to Offices Of
trust. In the end, yes, in short time, they
would have made themselves stronger with
the best citizens Of all classes and parties. If
the stupendous jobs that were projected in
the way Of improvements be carried out in
the old style, as, for example, that job of the
new Court House, New York will be Hauss-
mannized, our citizens will find themselves
overwhelmed with taxes and debt, and the
democratic party in this city and State will
find their Gravelotte and Sedan, as Napoleon
found his. Improve the city by all means,
for there is much need Of it, but let that be
done in all cases by the consent Of the cti-
zens and under the control of the best m en- in
the community. Bringing back the old cor
rupt influences to power does not look well,
and we warn the Tammany magnates Of the
danger. -

list of prominent lecturers. He delivered a
lecture at Rockville, Md, last night in which
he told his own story of the conspiracy against
the life of Lincoln, the assassination, his own
escape, wanderings, capture, trial and &C
interesting story, but as to the good taste
that turns such experience as his into money
making exhibition there may be some division
of opinion. A full report Of the speech is

The Opportunity and Dangers of Our
City NIagnntes.

Cuy Iuashatess
That poten. body of men which controls the
affairs and spells Of this city, sometimes
called "the ring, has splendid opportunity
for accomplishing great objects. But it is q
position of temptation and danger, which may
lead to the worst consequences to both the city
and the party. 1t is curious feature of cur
political life or system that few men, not
more than hree or four, can rot only control,
through powerful but irresponsible political
organization, the destiny, property, inte-
rests aud finances of this metropolis,
but the politics of the State, and,
to great extent Of the country
also. We do not propose to GO into the philo-
sophy of this state of things new. We are
simply stating fact. Nor is it necessary to
measure the relative amount of power each
individual of ''the ring" possesses. Some will
have it that Mr.. Tweed is the great magnate
that controls the rest; others that Mr.. Peter
B. Sweeny is the leading spirit; many say
that these two together are the all-powerful
masters of the ring and organization. Then ii
is said that there is triumvirate, and that
Mayor Hall is the other member of it. Again
some assign Mr.. Richard b. Connolly lead
ing position. But, whatever may be the rela-
tive position or Influence Of any OF these
leaders, it is certain the whole power of Tam
many, and consequently, over the city and
politics of the State is in the hands Of three
or four men at most.
Seeing there was need of change in the
government of the city, and favoring munich
pal self government, which the radicals had
taken away, we favored the ascendancy of the
party now in power here. We have given the
leaders good advice and our support because
they promised we'll They began well, too, as
far as improving the city goes; but there is
some reason to fear they are falling into bad
habits. Instead of using the money Of the city
treasury for legitimate and useful purposes
only, they are, 1t is to be feared, creating jobs
to buy up those who have been or might be OPP
posed to them. That they will enrich them
selves is to be expected, and if they will do
this only from the advantage their situation
gives them, without putting their hands di-
rectly into the treasury, and will give us some
thing like an equivalent in the way of improve
ments for the money they expend, the people
will not be disposed to complain. But why buy
up by jobs or commissions the rag-tag and bob
tail opposition2 The triumph was complete over
| that little faction calling itself the Young De-

OUR ADvIcEs direct from Paris represent
the morale Of the soldiers as excellent
Trochus war bulletins claim successes in the
recent sorties, bat the statement that on the
night of the Sd Ducrot's forces bivouacked at
Vincennes is sufficient evidence that the French
were unable to maintain their positions on the
left bank of the Loire. In addition we have
report from the secretary of Minister Wash
burne predicting the surrender of the city in
three weeks. Prince George of Saxony also
telegraphs to the King, at Dresden, that further
offensive movements on the part Of the French
are impossible. lie is, however, too confident.
1t is hardly probable that Trochu will capitu-
late without making another desperate effort
10 cut through the German investing line.
That he will fail we have no doubt; but that
he will order four hundred thousand men to
lay down their arms without one last struggle
for victory Is scarcely to be believed

of Long Branch seems to have been one of
those inevitable casualties for which there is

steamboat captains Of their duty to keep the

| would be q wise thing, aud our
word, IL words Of criticism, must be
taken as the counssls OF q friend and
well-wlsher, the republicans must take
Grant or nobody. II they cannot elect him
they can elect no one else. 1t is not the
nomination that IL in danger, but the re-elec-
ton. To be nominated and defeated would
throw cloud over Grants illustrious fame
that would rest upon 1t for all time. He Is
the third great general elected to tho Presl-
dency. Washington and Jackson were re-
elected, and to justify his claim to the honors
Of their Pantheon he must have the approval
Of the people upon his administration.
But, as we have said, he cannot drift into
1872 and have any hope Of triumph. He must
command and electrify and fuse the country,
as Jackson did when he made his war upon
the Bank. What are Schurz and Brown and
Trumbull and Sumner and Greeley to the
combination which assailed jackson? There
were Webster, Clay, Calhoun-the giants
Of a gigantic time-backed by enormous
financial strength and great political
party. Jackson defeated them ALL because he
made his cause the cause Of the people and
they sustained him. He attracted to him
strong men, founded policy, and made war.
We feel confident that the conqueror Of Rich
mond has in his nature the dormant qualities
of Jackson. Let him show Congress and the
country that these qualities have come to life,
let him give the country policy which it can
take and cherish, and with his just and pure
fame his high character, and his great popu-
larty, he may enter the canvass without fear,
and win without trouble. But the signs to-day
are not the signs of victory. Her angel wings
ara wingisg in other directions. She should
be summoned before it is too late to heed the
summons. 81 y-r' .a

Canada and the Presidents Message.
The Canadian papers discuss with some
warmth that portion of the Presidents Mes
sage relative to the Canadian fisheries, and it
would seem that the people themselves are
somewhat excited over the unusually belli-
gerent tone with which our President says that
it will become his duty to protect the rights OF
the citizens of the United States if the New
Dominion undertakes to enforce her odious
and unjust provisions against our fishermen.
These words from quiet man who acts
rather than talks, brighten the Canada that
was so belligerent some time ago. They smell
more strongly of gunpowder than suits the
fastidious nostris Of Canadians, who have
been used to nothing of late more overpower-
ing than Fenian blasts and who distinctly
remember Vicksburg and Richmond, and
probably have not yet succeeded in
forgetting the st. Adams raid The
President states that no vessel has yet
been condemned under the provisions
Of the measure; but even while the Canadian
people were reading and digesting the words
for the first time, and beginning to regret
inwardly that they had ever been so foolishly
malicious, judge in Halifax was declaring
forfeit to the government the American fishing
schooner Wampthuck and her entire stores,
cargo and rigging. This is essentially enforc-
ing the fishing laws, and the contingency
under which the President has stated that he
would protect the rights of the citizens Of the
United States has burst full upon him before
the purport of the words has become fully
defined to the people most interested. Con-
gress has already called for information re-
garding certain seizures. The question comes
now, shall we have war on the fishery question
or will Canada recede /?
The Canadian papers evidently dread war.
The people don't want it, and it is, therefore,
most likely that some modification of the mat
ter will be made. bold, Independent stand
for the right, backed by the army and
navy and the still blooming military prestige
Of the United States, is not likely to fail of its
purpose, especially when made in person, as
| it were, by the conqueror of Lee. Little Canads
already talks of telling her mamma, and refers
| timidly to the great power of Great Britain,
| and intimates that she is yet minor, and is
not responsible for her acts, and that we shall
have to whip England first but that view o
| the case makes no difference with us. W.
don't care who takes up t1e quarrel. Oul
| fishermen must have their rights.

FROM LILLE comes despatch stating that
a great movement of troops is in progress
there. We suppose these forces belong to the
Army of the North recently beaten near
Amiens. If they are still a compact, organized
body Of men they may effect some wonderful
changes in the military situation. An army
fifty thousand strong leaving Lille with ten
days provisions could, by forced marches,
enter the Argonne Mountains, and, making
Mezeres base of opera ions, destroy the
German line of communication with Metz
OF course the movement would be fraught
with danger; but it is just such one as a
Napoleon wenld have successfully made. The
French generals of the present day, however,
seem incapable of bold, hazardous action.
