NANDERBILT's START. - The New
York correspondent of the Boston
journal says: Every little while the
newspapers contain an account of
Nanderbilt's beginning. His own
statement on his first real success is
this: He was young man on
Staten Island. He was master Of
of rowing. He was athletic. strong
and daring. One night a stranger
came to the landing and wanted to
cross to Gowanus. Tho night was
dark and stormy-the wind blew n
gale. Not hoatman could be found
who would leave. The landlord said:
There is nobody who can row Won
over but Corn. Vanderbilt" for he
was so called. 1T was very doubt-
ful, he said. whether he would do
1T. Vanderbilt was found. and in
answer to the request. replied: ats
pretty rough, but if You'll give me
ten dollars, lay down in my boat
AID not stir, and do Just what | bid
you, Ill try it," The stranger as
serted. He rowed the man over and
back IN safety. As soon as he had
landed at Staten Island the stranger
said: young man. how would YOU
like to run an opposition steam
boat! Nothing would suit me
better" was the reply. Have you
pluck enough to obey ordcrs?" said
the stranger. Il have. was the re-
sponse. Suppose J was to tell YOU
to run into steamboat. what would
you do?' Run into her. by -." +"
The bargain was sealed amid the
storm that night, or the island. and
Vanderbilt entered upon his we'll
known career as a steamboat man.

TOryism Locking Up.

The signs of the times are bad for the Glad
stone administration In England. So far as
we know there have been but two important
elections since Premier Gladstone made use
of the royal warrant for the abolition of pur-
chase in the army. To the aristocrats gem
orally the policy Of Mr.. Gladstone was offen-
sive. To the House of Lords 1t was an open
insult To both houses of Parliament, and,
indeed, to the whole body Of the people, it was
a surprise. The surprise has not been con-
vincing. The people are attached to the
Crown, and the general feeling was that Mr..
Gladstone made use more bold than wise Of
the royal prerogative. The people in all
lands do love change; reaction will set in
against even the best administration and it
does seem as if the author of s'Coningsby"
and 'Lothair" might be once again Prime
Minister of Great Britain. Some weeks ago
the government lost East Surrey. Now it has
lost Truro. 1t is bad sign for Mr.. Glad
stone. 1t is good sign for Mr.. Disraeli.
The tide may turn, but it now runs in an anti
Ministerial direction. For the moment tory
ism is looking up.

The state c.npais. In Now jersey.

Tho state Cnmpa1gn In NOW Sok~oys
The New Jersey democracy, IN Joel
Parker-who has accepted the nomination
have secured their strongest eligible man in
the State as their candidate for Governor, for
in several contests lis strength among the
people has been established. He was elected
Governor in 1862 by fourteen thousand i've
hundred majority, and he lost nothing OF popu-
larity by his hearty support Of the war for the
Union. BY the year 1868 he had achieved q
national reputation as leading man in his
party, for he was not the least or the last of
the distinguished men voted for in the National
Democratic Convention of that year for the
Presidency. The republican candidate, Mr..
Walsh, is popular and well known man, but
he is comparatively new in the political field
and has hard fight before him, considering
the close division Of the State between the two
parties on fair trial and full vote.
Upon the full Presidential vote of 1868 of
one hundred and sixty-three thousand, in
round numbers, Seymour's majority over
Grant was three thousand, but Randolph, the
democratic candidate for Governor (present
Gevernor), over Blair, republican, had nearly
thirty-five hundred majority. If Governor
Randolph had not been ineligible under the
State constitution for another term he would,
doubtless, have been nominated for a re-elec-
ton, for his administration has been good, and
in nothing more popular than in his prompt,
decisive and popular course upon the great
question of equal rights in the matter of Orange
professions. The claims of Randolph's ad-
ministration will operate to the disadvantage Of
Parker. The republican majority in 1870 on
the Congressional vote was 3,400, mainly due
to the acquisition of the new element of the
colored vote under the fifteenth amendment,
fections in several districts.
In the present contest the republicans are
encouraged by their recent successes and
gains In North Carolina, Kentucky, Wyoming,
California, Maine, Colorado and New
Mexico, and by the general and local
unity Of their party on the plat
form Of General Grants administration.
On the other hand, while we do not sup
pose that the ''new departure" will be any
drawback to the harmony Of the Jersey dem
ocracy. or that even the terrible war upon
Tammany will materially shake the integrity
Of their local organization, they have nothing
but their own local unity and strength and the
popularity of the head of their ticket to depend
upon. Nevertheless, upon the strength of
Parker, and upon their acceptable platform,
embracing 'the constitution as it is," and
upon the thorough organization and discipline
of the party, we look for a sharply contested
fight in New Jersey, and the best on the part
Of the democrats of any fgbt of the year since
their electrifying victory Of March last in New
Hampshire.

Tae Mexican Pirates-Necessity of Their
Punishment.
The attack on the American bark Brothers
by the greasers Of Santa Anna Bay, a
detailed account Of which we print to-day, is
one of those fagrant and inexcusable out.
RACES which cannot be permitted to go
unpunished. The consignee of the vessel
seems to have been the leader in the wrong,
and his clerk, Rippoll, led the attack upon
Captain Thurston and his crew. So far as
we can see there was no reason for their
course toward the American seamen, and
under any circumstances they would not be
justified in resorting to such high-handed and
violent measures. The case is one requiring
the closest examination and the most COM
plete reparation.
1t is in the nature of the Spanish American
population to offer the most wanton insults to
the United States. The Cuban authorities do
this habitually, and the Mexicans are little
behind the Spaniards in Cuba. If they were
only lacking in fair dealing in business matters
we might excuse them, but they interpret
impunity from punishment for every insult
offered TO Americans as an invitation to COM
NIT fresh outrages, and their arrogance is
beginning to be without bounds. Here
at last is case which cannot be over
looked, and which must be followed by the
swiftest punishment unless the wrong Is made
good.
The story which we print is full of interest.
II is in every way fair specimen of Mexican
valor. The attacking party, in the first in
stance, were completely vanquished, and the
hostile boats met with little better fortune.
Had the ship been supplied with arms 1t could
have been defended against all the odds which
came against it. This not being the case the
men were compelled to take to their boat,
and their sufferings till they were picked up
by the Harvest Home were fearful The cap
tain's account of the affair appears to be cor
roborated throughout, and taken as a whole
1t resembles the stories Of Spanish piracy in
the West Indies, which we thought could not
be supplemented by like outrages at this day.
But it is in every way characteristic of the
people by whom 1t was committed. aud calls

The FIres a saratoxs.

The raging element of fire seems determined
to destroy the Oldest and most fashionable
inland watering place in the Union. Two
more OF the hotels that line Broadway, in
Saratoga, were destroyed by fire on Thursday
morning. and q third was partly damaged, 50
that between the Grand Union and the Clar>
sndon, on that side OF ias ia .aSS:ssaghfare, only
building and half remain. The hotels that
were destroyed-the Park Place and the
Columbian-were by no means among the
chief hotels of the place, but they were of suf-
fcient value to sum up pecuniary loss by
their destruction, and that of the stores and
stock Under them, to two hundred thousand
dollars. To make matters worse, the excited
citizens of the stately pleasure haunt have the
impresson that the fire was incendiary, so
that it is apparently not their ''luck, but
some determined enemy, possibly envious OF
the profitable uses to which nauseous mineral
waters have been put, who is pursuing them
with his dread malice.
1t is hardly to be supposed that the dignf-
fed statesmen, the fortune seeking bogus
nobility, the gay sports, the solid old mer-
chants, the thrifty mothers, the eligible.
daughters or the fashionable bellies OF
the Avenue ore attracted to Saratoga
merely by the delight of drinking sixteen
glasses of Congress water before breakfast.
1t is hardly more probable that they gather
there every summer for the delicious pleasure
of the moonlight drives to Saratoga Lake or
to put up pennies for the 'Ingin" boys to
shoot at. The races might call them together
for time; but that cannot certainly be the
attraction after race week is over. The club
house certainly does not attract the mothers
and daughters nor the solid old merchants,
nor can the feminine glory Of thirteen changes
of dress day deceive the Senatorial magnates
into believing in its summer fascinations.
The actual success Of Saratoga as summer
resort lies in the fact that people 60 there
because other people 60. The human race.
like sheep, goes always in docks. Saratoga
has been watering place since the date OF
Burgoyne's surrender, when the grand old
heroes of the Revolution actually believed in
the health giving quality Of its waters. But
now it is nothing more than caucus room for
party politicians and show room for finely
dressed women. These go there not for the
waters or the races or the drives, but because
others are going The hotels and hotel life
are the chief attractions of the place, and the
infamous incendiary who seems bent ON
destroying the hotels of Saratoga has taken
the best method of destroying the charm
and prestige of Saratoga itself.

Wendell Phillip. and General Butler.

Wendell Phillips, General Butler, the Cris-
pins, the labor reform party, the Interna-
tional and the women's rights women have
combined their forces against the Old Bourbon
republican ring of Massachusetts,, and they
are powerful coalition. Regarding this holy
alliance, as holding the balance of power in
the Old Bay State, the democrats are brist-
ling up with extraordinary enthusiasm, inspired
by the hope of slipping into glorious victory
in November. Massachusetts was never in
such a stew before as she is now, and Wendell
Phillips and the women agitators of women's
rights are keeping the fire well supplied with
combustibles and the caldron up to the point
of boiling over. Phillips on Butler speaks
like prophet of Israel to the worshippers of
Baal. In the estimation of Phillips General
Butler is not only mighty man in Israel, but
the only man who can save the State and the
nation.
According to Phillips, Massachusetts,, sincs
the good old days of Samuel Adams, has not
had a candidate for Governor who could hold
q candle to General Butler. He Is the only one
alive who has an idea or policy on any ques-
ton, or who would be missed If he died to-
night. Mr.. Phillips as q candidate had per-
mitted the newspapers to run over him,
but General Butler fights them, hip
and thigh, and is taking the conceit
out of the editors. The republican party is
dead, at least In Massachusetts,, as Mr.. Phil
lips informs the world but it resists burial
1t represents nothing, 1t is good for nothing,
its candidates have not an idea beyond the
spoils; while the progressive Butler, as tho
standard bearer Of the labor. party, is raising
the red flag of reform over the stagnant pool
of party politics; and this constitutes his
great offence to the old fogies, and this 1t Is
that makes him so many enemies. He u.s.,
moreover, down upon the moneyed corpora
tions, including railroads in general aud tho
Eastern Railroad in particular; he is down
upon the Southern Ku Klux Klans, and he is
down upon the grogshops, and, If elected
Governor, he will make the rumsellers howl.
With such stirring appeals in behalf Of
General Butler, as the champion OF labor
reforms and negroes rights down South, and
women's rights everywhere, and of tenn
perance in Boston, can 1t be wondered at that
Massachusetts is in great ferment or that
her old republican Bourbons are frightened.
while the democracy are inspired with visions
of democratic Governor slipping in between
the new Butler party and the old rcpublcansp

The CHOLERA IN EUROPE is still raging.
Advices by cable from st. Petersburg state
that the reports arriving continually at that
show the Asiatic demon to be committing
fearful havoc among the population. Con.
trary to former reports, it appears to bs
increasing in virulence and causing greater
terror to the Russians. A case of cholera
Of what type is not speci6ed-has been dis
covered in Newcastle; and the fact Of our
agents considering it worthy of transmission

matter of considerable significance in England.

The ENGLISH RowERs seem to have un-
usually hard luck on this side the Atlantic.
Some strange fellows in Montreal playfully
demolished their shells on Wednesday night,
and they were busy all yesterday morning
patching them mp for the race in the afternoon.
They led their Nova Scotia opponents in the
race, but mistook their turning buoy and went
three hundred yards beyond it before they
were aware of their error, the Bartons in the
meantime making their turn correctly and
coming in at the end hundred and fifty
yards ahead. The death of Rsnfortb, the
defeat at Saratoga Lake, and the present un-
fortunate bIundcr, certainly comprise series
of misfortunes that is apt to disgust the
muscular Englishmen with this ''blarsted
country"
