Conservation In Engsand-NIen Who Will
Not Learn.

Conservatism i'm Engsand--NIen Who Will
Not Learn.
On Wednesday evening in London was held
meeting which, in its way, was a curiosity
The meeting was held at the Terminus Hotel,
fitting place, and the company assembled
represented the Conservative Association.
This association is purely and unqualiHedy
tory. It looks back and sighs for the past. 1t
dislikcs the present. 1t can only think of the
future with fear and trembling. So far as the
names have been communicated to us not a
single man was there but is radically opposed
to everything like change. Progress with
every one Of them is an enemy to be dreaded.
In the opinion Of one and all of them the
world In moving does not advance, but retro
grades. In place Of rising to a higher platform
we are sinking to more vulgar level. They
represent the men who would, if they could,
have chopped the head off Hampden rather
than Off Charles l.. the men who would have
tolerated the bigotry of James H.; the men
who opposed the first Reform bill the men
who opposed Catholic emancipation and the
removal Of Jewish disabilities. They are
themselves the men who have opposed every
recent reform but one, and into that one they
were cheated by too skiiful leader. They
have not forgiven Disraeli for his Reform bill,
and Gladstone they hate for his Irish reform
measures. Is it wonderful that such party
should now be minority in Parliament; that
they should be losing the respect of all good
and wise men?
To all those who make it point to watch
progress In all lands and who take any inte-
rest in the politics Of Great Britain. it must be
gratifying to observe that from this stupid and
reactionary meeting every man of the so
called conservative party who has the slightest
sympathy with the progressive spirit and
movements of the age was conspicuous by his
absence. Disrael himself found it convenient
to be absent; so did Lord Derby, and the
Marquis Of Salisbury and Lord Lcnnox; and
the name Of the new leader of the party in
the House of Lords, the Duke Of Richmond,
does not appear. These men know that the
old landmarks are no more. They know that
if they cannot discover some new and sensible
point of departure their opposition is worth
less and their party existence is in peril. Not
only is the conservative party in hopeless
minority, it is not unit. Its best men, such
as Derby, and Salisbury, and Carnarvon and
others, yield to 1t only hereditary allie
glance. These men, however, have no chance
to distinguish themselves SO long as they
remain aloof from the great liberal movements
of the times. They are giving the country no
cause to be grateful to them. On the con-
trary they are making themselves obnoxious.
For those advanced spirits we can see no field
Of usefulness, unless they join the great liberal
dry. II is not now the tories or the wings,
but the people, who rule the British empire.
Reform must, therefore, 60 on apace.

whe Oneida Disaster.

The latest particulars Of the cat astrophc TO
the Oneida leave no reasonable doubt that the
captain OF the Bombay ran away from the
accident fully conscious that he had left a ship
in Distress even il he did not know that he
was sending hundred men to the bottom.
The mere fact that he considered with his
pilot the neighborhood Of the damaged vessel
to the spit indicates that 1t was between
them thought possible she might 90 down.
For the sake OF humanity we wonld rather
doubt until 1t is fully proved that he made the
boast TO an officer of the British navy upon
reaching Yokohama that he had ''just cut
down damned Yankee frigatc, and served
her right" Should it be proven that he made
this boast we suspect that the seas OF this
world will hardly be wide enough to give him
comfortable navigation for the future. How
the accident occurred it is impossible to see as
that when the Bombay was sighted ahead the
order was given to sport the helm" This
would have taken the Oneida to the right,
with view to passing the other vessel just as
pedestrians pass on our streets. The left side
of the Oneida in passing would have been to
the left side to the Bombay. This would have
been in accordance with tho rule Of the sea.
When both side lights you see ahead.
Port your helm and show your red,
for the red light is on the left side Of the ship
and the green light on the right or starboard
side. In the testimony Of Captain Eyre he
declares that he observed the same rule
positively swears that he kept the helm Of his
ship aport until he shut from his sight the
green light of the Oneida. II this were true
on both sides the ships must certainly have
passed in absolute safety; but the next thing
that happened after Captain Eyre had lost
sight of the green light on the Oneida was that
he hit her on the starboard side--the side on
which she showed green light. 1t is there
fore not true that he put the green light out Of
his sight.

TIE NEW HAMPSHIRE ELECTION affords but
little comfort to the arithmetciau whose duty
il is TO cipher up democratic victories from the
republican majority in New Hampshire is
reduced, but the democrats gain nothing
thereby. If their State Committee had not
coquetted with the labor reformers they might
have done better; but even in this reflection
there IL not much comfort. The fact that tho
New Hampshire democratic managers were
partly inveigled into guerilla flank move
ment shows that the party has no longer any
reliable backbone.

The New city Charter.

The latest new City Charter, proposed
as sort of compromise between the Tam
many and anti-Tammany factions at Albany,
covers probably the general provisions Of the
scheme which will be finally adopted. The
bill transfers the State commissions to the city
authorities, provides for city government
more generally dependent upon the popular
vote III our annual local elections than the
original Frear bill, and, upon the whole, look
ing to popular rights, municipal rights and
democratic rights, the new bill has evidently
been carefully considered by oil the parties
concerned in it. Section twenty seven pro-
vides that ''no person shall hold more than one
Office under the government of the city or
county Of New York or both, and every per-
son holding moro than one such office who
shall not within thirty days after the passage
OF this act duly resign all except one of snch
offices shall be deemed and taken to have re-
signed all such ofices;" and this Is doubtless
the sine qua NON Of the ''outs" against the
"ins," without which there will be no treaty
of peace between the rival factions. There
are some other good features in the bill look
ing to the city treasury. Thus something
good may yet come out Of Nazareth, and the
more the subject Is agltated in all its details
the better, it begins to appear, will be the
results to our taxpayers in the final shaping
Of the Charter.

THE LATR MASSACRE or THE PECAN INDI-
ANS, with the disclosure Of its atrocities, has
brought out General Sherman in statement
charging the responsibility upon General
Sully, Notwithstanding SulIy's denunciations
Of the horrible affair. The facts. briefly
stated, appear to be these General Sheridan,
in military charge of all that Northwestern
region to the Rocky Mountains, suggested to
General Sherman that 1t would be good
thing to pounce upon and ''strike' some Of
those hostile Blackfeet gangs in their winter
quarters that General Sully seconded the pro-
position; that General Sherman approved this
snggestion; that Colonel Baker accordingly
was detailed with strong force against the
Piegans in their winter encampmcnt; and that
without much discrimination in favor of age,
sex or condition, he made a fearful slaughter
Of the Piegan encampment, men, women and
children. General De Trobriand, also in COM
mand out there, thinks that this affair entities
Colonel Baker to promotion. We think, it the
facts are as reported, that this shocking mas
sacre calls for court martial by order Of the
President and an investigation by order Of
Congress.
