rather lukewarm in their fighting with the

now in a frenzy Of noble anger. A committee
has been appointed, after the pattern Of our
Committee of Seventy, to ferret out the Grim

likely to have q publication in Brooklyn poll

much commiserate. They should reach after
the politicians who planned and directed the
swindle, and whose arrest would strike the

"the abominable practice of wearing hair on the

Mr.. Riddle, the Don Quixote of the Wood
hull-Clafin party in Washington, suing for
the right Of women to vote because of the
light of nature and the Constitution of the
United States, has met with a reverse In the
Supreme Court of the District. AS well as
we can make it out from the imperfect report,
the Court holds that women have no present
right to vote, but that it is quite competent
for Congress so to amend the laws as to give
them such a right in the District. or for the
States to do it within their respective jurisdic-
tons. Mr.. Riddle prefers, it is reported, in
stead of now asking Congress for Woman
Suffrage in the District, to go next to the
United States Supreme Court for it. There is
no provision of the Constitution that can him

If the French journals, as now reported, con-

hall speech that France must now seek an
alliance with Russia, we must guess at the
reason for the lachrymose deduction. Certainly
there was nothing in the Premier's speech, 80
far as reported by cable, to warrant any such
conclusion; but probably he did not express
any very warm sympathy with the French
people, and his peaceful representation Ger
tainly could not possibly be of much comfort
to the great party in France which cherishes
hopes Of q general European alliance to avenge
upon Germany the humiliation of the French.

There ore MethOdists In this country who kay,
white skins and there arc also Methodists tho have
black, while between them are MethOdists more or
less yellow. AS it is not anticipated that any Of
these will take their skins with them to Heaven.
and moreover as all these professors or cOnfesors
expect to go precisely TO the same Heaven thsrs
does not seem to be any good why they should
not pray at the same altar and MARBLE together out
of the same hymn-bOOk. We mourn to say that
they do not do it. and what is worse that the white
part STILL in the assembling together. keeps aloof
from the black part. The African N. E. ChurChSas
q body is wholly separated from what Is called The
IN. E. Church proper" though We should decidedly
say Improper" The White Methodists, however,
knowing and feeling that this separation Is unspeak
ably inconsistent and absurd, propose what they call
"a complete union" Albeit it turns out. when
to particulars, that it is no real union at al
which they are driving at. For these diyerseiy-
tinted brethren there Is to be White Branch anda
Black Branch. The former is to have White Bishops
and Pastors and the latter Black Bishops and Pas
tors. The arrangement, certain Methodist news
papers affirm, will result In /" the most practical
union" not in the matter of Conferences aud the
pastoral work, but in some other matters, such -
schools magazines, and missions" connectonL
work." as it is called. There may be prospect Of
good and chance of the increase Of charity in the
new scheme but as it is based the very reverse Of
brotherly love, and upon the presumption that two
Christians cannot sit In the same pew when ono Of
them chances to be little darker than the other
we are constrained, if not to denounce the scheme
"a wicked. TO declare that its complete realization
would merely leave all essential and weghty mat
ters precisely as they were. As affairs stand, the
initiative must be taken by the White Methodists
but while they offer nothing better we cannot
blame the Black brothers for being little shy Of
such limited copartnership.

The speech Of Mr.. Gladstone, printed on
the second page of THE TRIBUNE to-day, is
not so much the manifesto of the Premier as
the good address Of the member for
Greenwich. Perhaps, because it was good
natured and not at all dictatOrial, we find it
bristling with interruptions" and disorder.
The honorable member did not meet with q
dignifed reception from his constituents, who
were plainly unprepared for the mild tone of
conversation which pervades the whole of his
speech. His good word for the hereditary
principle in legislation was unexpected.

The various rumors concerning the future
plans of the Pope, which have prevailed since
Rome was made the capital of Italy, have now
assumed the somewhat definite shape of a
proposition from his Holiness to take up his
abode il France. If n. Thiers's offer of the
Castle of Pau shall be accepted, the Pope will
certainly have q charming retreat, as Pau is
one of the fine old towns of the Lower Pyre-

SHALL THE LESSON BE HEEDEDi


Suppose Horatio Seymour, Charles O'Conor,
Samuel j. Tilden, Sanford E. Church, Francis
Herman, &C., had undertaken, for their party's
sake, to discredit the revelations of Tammany
rascality and deny that any great frauds had
been committed-had welcomed Tweed's dele
gates to seats in their State Convention, and
attempted to go right along, as though nothing
of Importance had transpired-how would the
Democratic party have come out of our ro-
cent Eectionf
This question is best answered by the vote
of our City. Here, the Democratic party ,rdS
identified with Tammany and its chiefs far
more closely than elsewhere. The TammaDy
organization was here the regular organization
of the party; Congressman Cox presided over
Tweed's nominating convention, and clear
majority of the Democratic votes were cast for
Tweeds candidates. And this is the result on
the State Ticket:

Democratic loss In the City. ....24,3 800

Assuming the City vote to be One-sixth that
of the State, like change from last year
throughout the State would have elected the
Republican State Ticket by more than One
Hundred Thousand majority. But, allow for
the effect of distance from the theater of the
Tammany frauds, and still the Republican
State Ticket would have been elected, in case
the Democratic leaders in the State had
attempted to sustain and whitewash Tweed,
by more than Fifty Thousand majority. Instead
of being merely beaten by the Tammany frauds,
the party would have been buried under them.
Is there not lesson in these facts for more
than one partyf
For months, the developments of rascality
in the management of the reconstructed gov
ernments of several Southern States have been
growing more and more conclusive. No intel
hgent man longer doubts that those govern
ments have been fagrantly expensive and cor
rupt-that they have increased taxation, in
CURED debt, and issued bonds, to an enormous
extent The facts are In part concealed or
obscured, but cannot long remain so; enough
is already known to justify the very gravest
apprehensions. In the two Carolinas es-
pecially, the robberies appear to have been
quite as gigantic, when the relative wealth of
the respective communities is considered, as
in this City. Yet men whom we have es-
teemed honest talk as though all exposure
and apprehension Of these villainies should
be left to Democratic journals-tbat we
ought to ignore, or befOg, or belittle
them. They represent such exposure
as calculated to damage the Republican party
generally; we bold that, even If this be 30, that
party will be far worse damaged by seeking to
cover up those iniquities, and thus making
them, to some extent its own. Let it promptly
and fearlessly expose and denomce the crimi-
mails, if it would vindicate itself from all Gem
phcity in their crimes.
We have received communications from
leading Republicans in Texas, insisting that
We have regarded their legislation and rule
with greater disfaYor than the facts will war
rant, To this we answer that the People of
Texas seem to take Substantially the same
view Of the matter that We do. Two ,yeafs
ago, they eleeted q Republican Governor.

gress from all four districts BY an aggregate ma
