The Recorder yesterday denied the applica-
ton to transfer the Ring cases to the Oyer
and Terminer Very well The decision is
final, and nothing now remains but to begin
the serious business. Let Mr.. Barlow open the
case against Tweed at once and end it with
out useless dilatory motions.
According to a Japan journal, Mr.. Mort,
| japanese Minister at Washington, and
! lwakura, the Plenipotentiary. were not alto
| gether harmonious in their cOunsels. and MIR.
MOri has accordingly been superseded. This
story does not agree with that which the
Minister Resident has industriously circulated.
Brigadier-Gen. F. II. Dent, Gentleman
| Usher in Waiting at the White House, will
| find some interesting reading in the sworn
narration of Mr.. A. N. Fretz, which we PRINT
to-day. Mr. Fretz complains that he not only
paid what he thought was the regulation bride to
the National DOOrkeeper, but that he did not
get the Office which he bargained for, after all.
The first day for registration in NewYOrk
is next Tuesday; on the same date Brooklyn
voters will be afforded a second opportunity
to enroll themselves The registration in the
| latter city has thus far been small, owing
| doubtless to the fact That the opening of the
| polls was not generally notified to the public.
In this city it is of the utmost Importance
that the registration should be full, and that
no Liberal should fail to do his duty at once.
Although the grandeur has been gradually
FILTERED away from the final proceedings at
| Geneva, the account which we print to-day
| has q certain dramatic interest to the reader.
Sir Alexander COckbum crouched behind
his vOluminous protest and the ArbtratOrs
| afiixing their names to the written verdict
may never become historic figures but they
will remain for while as illustrating in their
way the end of Conference which promised
q great deal and accomplished but little.
On the ninth page of this mornings TRIBUNE
is a table showing the votes and majorities of
the several States of this Union in every i'm
pOrtaDt contest since the year 1860 1t will be
| found an interesting study, demonstrating that
the power of mere party organizations is by
no means Omnipotent, and that causes long
| forgotten, and OF utter insignifcance compared
with those now working, have produced great
revolutions of the popular will Next week
will confirm the truth that moral forces are
now, as ever, superior to fraud, chicaneTy and
corruption.
A private letter from one of the best in
formed Liberal Republicans in Ohio says:
Everything looks propitOus. If the Demo-
cratic vote stands squarely up to the State
:" ticket we are sure of victory. Thus far |
" see no disposition to finch, and I think you
" may look for good news. Our Liberal Re-
"publicans are as true as steel, and we will
" sling 10000 votes upon the State ticket"
We know that this gentleman is thoroughly
familiar with the admirable organization in
Ohio, and though he is more sanguine than
we at the East have been, we are sure he has
reasons for the faith that is i'll him.
The agitation for federal union of Great
Britain is maintained with so much persistency
by the supporters of the scheme, that it may
soon become equal in importance to the de-
mand for a republican form of gov
eminent. Both contingencies appear to
be very remote, but the former is less
radical, and is not inconsistent with a mOnar-
by some prominent men as a means of pacify-
ing Ireland; and that the advocates of the
measure are not very difficult to suit, appears
from the speech of the chief HomeRnle mem
Der of Parliament, published this morning.
He is as moderate as is consistent with the
character of the principle he supports.
We publish in another column note from
the Hon. John S. Watts of Santa Fe, which in
dicates that the cOlored citizens of New-Mexico
and Texas have more judiciOus views of their
interests and duties than those Mr. Wendell
Phillips would like to inculcate; just as many
of them in Georgia seem to have shown
at the polls that they have. Judge Watts
was the founder of the Republican party in
New Mexico, for several years delegate in Con-
gress from that Territory, and one Of the lead
ing citizens and proprietOrs of that region
Neither as Republican, a landholder, law
yer, or a banker, does he see any reason to
dread the election of Mr.. Greeley. In common
with some thousands of veterans like him, he
evidently needs instruction from Mr.. Clews
1t seems a pity that Mr.. Cakes Ames is not
likely to be in the next Congress, where he
will be needed on the witness-stand when due
investigation of the Credit Mobilier bribery is
had. A TRIBUNE correspondent, whose letter
is printed on our fourth page, says that Mr..
Ames has been broken down in the lid Mas
sachusetts District. The same letter gives
fair resume of political matters in the Bay
State, and elucidates the situation so far as
it is affected by the decision of Senator Sum-
ner not to accept the nomination for Governor.
