Hoffman for Next Goveruor.

II ever there was politician who sat In
the executive chair of the State who has
earned for himself the good will of the people,
without regard to mere party fealty or preju-
dice, it is John T. Hoffman. Although de-
voted to the interests of the democratic party,
and never, perhaps, for moment losing sight
of what he owes to that party for its recogni-
ton of his talents and the rewards 1t has con-
ferred upon him, the interests Of the people OF
the State at large have never been overlooked
by the Governor. The steadfastness with
which he has opposed his authority to all the
jobs and coalitions which have been crowded
upon him during the last two sessions OF the
Legislature, including the Arcade scheme ior
the destruction of Broadway, entities him to
the highest consideration as wise and honest
public official. No chief executive Of the State
has done 80 much to break up the paltry sys-
tenn of special legislation upon which the lobby
has been growing fat for years past and to
demoralize the Albany lobby itself as Gov
ernor Hoffman; and what greater boon could
be conferred upon the State9
The Governors vetoes of the jobs and
swindles which, by various influences, crept
through the Legislature will be long remem-
bered as models Of good judgment, legal acumen
and sound logic. He has never consigned
bill to oblivion, however small its object, with
out giving good reasons for his action-reasons
so clearly put that the friends of the rejected
bills could not demur to the decision of the
Executive Chamber. Then, Governor Hof-
man is gentleman of fine parts and presence; !;
one who adorns physically and mentally the
highest Office in the State. For these reasons
we think that Hoffman is the man for Gov
ernor in 1871. No more popular candidate
can be nominated by the party of the majority,
and few men, if any, we presume, would be
more acceptable to the people at large. Itis an
excellent rule that when we get hold of good
and faithful public officer we should not part
with him if we can help it.

THE NEWS FROM THE WEST INDIES. The
steamer which arrived here yesterday from
Havana brings us encouraging news regarding
the prospects of the early laying of the West
Indies and Panama cable, which, when COM
pleted, will unite Central and South America
with Europe. Sir Charles Bright has already
arrived at st. Thomas to superintend the laying
of the cable, the greater portion of which has
been received. Everything looks favorable,
and by the time the summer is over we may
expect to have to record another achievement
of science. The Haytiens are greatly per-
picked over the discovery Of large quantity
of counterfeit money, and loud cries are being
made for a national banking system. IF even
this will improve Haytien finances we hope the
people will succeed in their desires.

POLITICS AND RELIGION attempt was
made in the Presbyterian General Assembly
to endorse particular policy of President
Grant. The effort was unsuccessful, the
Assembly declaring that the Church had
nothing to do with politics. If the determine
ton of our Presbyterian friends be followed
out it may deprive political parsons of their
stock in trade, and even seriously affect their
income returns; but their hocks will be greatly
benefited thereby, and thousands who have
been driven from under the droppings of the
sanctuary by these false teachers will return to
the fold. 1t is fully time that political
preachers were ''played ont, and no denomi-
nation could better inaugurate the good work
than the Presbyterians.

Decoration Day.

The custom of decorating the graves of the
dead is as old as human affection, and it is as
beautiful as 1t is ancient. How many
thousands day by day, in the privacy Of their
great sorrow, visit the cemeteries throughout
the country, and there, quietly and unseen OF
men, lay upon the graves of the departed
those tributes-which most resemble life in the
proximity of death-brght flowers that WOO
the sunshine, and evergreen shrubs, emblematic
of that enduring life which the grave cannot
extinguish!
But it is on such public occasions as that OF
yesterday that we see how the sympathy OF
the people is expressed for those whose
memory has become public property by dying
in the cause of country. The celebration-the
details of which we publish in our columns
to-day-was grand in all its features,
and exhibited sorrowful sublimity
that was not equalled in the years
which have passed since the war.
With sounds of martial music, with solemn
hymns chanted above the graves, with religious
discourses beftting the ceremony, the living
| comrades of those who sleep in hundred
| cemeteries, almost from one end of the land to
the other, paid that homage which shows that
the dead soldier, though passed away, is not
forgotten. The people generally participated
| in the feeling by abandoning business to a
great extent In this city the Custom House,
the banks and the public buildings were closed.
Even Wall street was affected with touch OF
| nd oil Law yUaq
not legal holiday, the money changers ceased
| to clink their gold out of respect for the
solemnities which were being performed at
| Greenwood and Cypress Hill. The flags on the
public buildings foated at half staff, and guns
| from the forts in the harbOr announced that
honors were being paid to the heroes who had
died that the nation might live.
Similar scenes occurred in Washington, in
Philadelphia, Boston, Cincinnati, Buffalo,
Providence, Lowell and many other cities, as
described in our numerous dispatches. Con-
gress on Saturday adjourned over until Tues
day in honor of the day, and the government
departments were all closed, while thousands
of soldiers and citizens proceeded to the
Cemetery of Oak Grove, and the Soldiers
Cemetery at Arlington, to pay the annua
tribute of this floral month to the fallen brave
This is just as it should be. We hope thai
the custom will be continued and become more
honored in the observance as years roll on.
Let the dead soldiers be honored while thf
memory of their services remains with us, ant
that will be as long as we value united coun
try. Bright be the flowers above them
Peguiesc0t Sp pace!

AN UNLUcKY BLow.--The mau who knocked
another down in the street.-the other being
picked up dead--seems to get off very easily
by the verdict that the man died from apo
plexy. This apoplexy was strangely coinci-
dent, it would appear; yet, as there were nc
external marks of violence, it would be diff
cult in any way to attribute death to the blow
given. Doubtless the drunkenness predisposet
to apoplexy, and perhaps the fall had share
in the result; but the death was more due tt
the rum than to the blow 1t was another
case Of Sunday rum.

IRELAND IN ENGLAND. Irish Land
Tenure Reform bill was passed in the English
House of Commons last night. Premier Glad
stone thanked the House for its ''steadfast
support" Of his Cabinet measure. The bill
was sent Immediately to the House of Lords.
The Peers received il and read it, This is
worse than the Fenian invasion Of Canada
The law of primogeniture and of entailed
estate is in danger here.

COLLECTOR GRINNELL.-It is stated that
strong efforts are being made to have Collector
GrinnelI ousted, and the name Of a prominent
gentleman in Westchester county is mentioned
as his probable successor. We regret to see
such an undesirable change agitated. Under
Mr.. Grinnell's management the business of the
Custom House has been conducted in q man
ner perfectly satisfactory and with an improved
result in revenues and reforms, and his place
could not very well be filed.

THE MEANEsT CowARDICE OF ALL.-And
now the President is asked to intercede on be-
Canada and got caught. This is pitiful These
terrible fellows who would hear of no remon-
STRANGE and yield to no moral restraint,
who would have war and rapine and pillage,
now cannot endure even the consequences of
their own acts and must beg off, For the
President to accede to the demand would
certainly make such outrage marvellously
cheap.
The New York herald., 1870-05-31

acknowledgements IDEA.-Whatever may
be said of Brother Beecher's jolly mode of
storming heaven, there can be no doubt that
his idea of Sunday, as set forth in his sermon
last Sabbath, is the genuine Christian idea
He says that it is day for rest and recrea-
ton, for walking out with the children, for
excursions to the country, for bright merri-
ment and social intercourse, for all that is
pleasant and not ungodly. He, himself, was
raised as child with the gloomy old
Puritanic idea Of Sunday-reminded of his
sins if he laughed and threatened with the
pangs of eternal punishment if he giggled
aloud--he that now sets Plymouth Church in
one wreathed smile every Sunday. He has
learned enough since arriving at mans estate
to feel that his Sunday teaching in youth was
wrong and he has the nerve and independence
to preach against such principles, even OF
the late Lyman Beecher, as he thinks
wrong. And his idea of Sunday is far prefer
able to his fathers idea of Sunday. When
we consider what mistaken Sunday training
the Plymouth pastor received in his youth,
it almost bewllders us to think what teacher
he might have become had he been trained in
the principles he now advocates.

The IRISH LAND BILL is passed in the
English House of Commons and read first

WALL STREET AND DECORATION DAY.-The
brokers' who struck gold from the list during
the war lest their patriotism should be in the
least impugned came near forgetting what was
due to yesterday, but made amends by ad-
journing at the close of the morning boards,
so that Decoration Day was made a half holi-
day in Wall street.

THE Greenwich STREET ELEVATED RAIL
RoAD-The Grand Jury refuse to indict it.
They perhaps think it has not had fair trial.

M1rTEE.-Why not call on the Secretary OF

THE SoANNEL FAMLY.--One of the brothers
of late Alderman was arrested the other
day for threatening to take the life of a citi-
zen, and before the magistrate made such
declarations of revengeful spirit and mur-
dering nature as to leave no doubt that he will
some day Commit murder when rather more
rum than usual shall give him the necessary
frenzy. He ''could not rest for FIVE months
with the thought of his brother in the hos
pital." No doubt when he kills his man the
iury will find that the idea of his brother in
the hospital worked bis insanity.

General George Napier, of the British
army, telegraphs from Canada ''exultingly"
to the English government ''of the prompti-
tude and prowess" displayed by the Canadian
volunteers in their ''late engagements" with
the Fenians This looks as if there had been
series of battles on the Dominion soil. It
also accounts for the fact of how one of the
contending armies had to give way quickly.
The men followed the banners of great soldier
names in each instance. General O'Neill
comes, of course, straight down from the Irish
warrior Hugh ONeill, or "Hugh of the Red
Hand" and the great Con O'Neill (Baccah, or
sLame Con'), the mortal enemies of Queen
Elizabeth and her successors. General Napier
displays the banner of the Napiers; men Of
mighty war deeds on land and on the ocean,
from the fields of Hindostan to the sea before
Cronstadt, where Admiral Sir Charles Napier
lowered for time between the outside of that
vast fortress and the inside of very hot
place-which is much more easily reached
during the Crimean war. General Napier, in
Canada, if he is of the Gould stock, is exactly
matched by General O'Neill in that respect at
least

Orr DISTINGUISHED INDIAN VISITORS, hav-

taken to Mount Vernon to-day, in order to
have their sated curiosity once more aroused.
Doubtless the emotions that will arise in their

last resting place will have the desired effect.
For making truly wild Indian of the forest
appreciate the power and glory of civilized
institutions and the insignifcance of barbarous
redskins there is probably nothing better than

THE LATEST MURDER.-If inquiry substan-
tiates the story of the man Wilson, who killed
Gilligan, his offence must be set down as
homicide fairly justified by the necessities OF
self-defence. When drunkard pursues to his
own home one who will not join his carouse,
and knocks him about and assumes an atti-
tude generally that his superior strength
makes dangerous, society cannot punish the
man who defends himself and cannot inquire
over closely as to how much force he may
apply to his defence.
