WANTING THE PIGMENTS OF A PARTY.

The elements opposing the reelection of
the President are unfortunate in not hav-
ing some strong common grounds upon
which they can unite and around which
the people will rally with confidence and
enthusiasm. If we look for the elements
that are necessary to make formidable
party, we fail to find them in the hetero-
geneous mass that clamor for new party
organization. Free Traders like Gov.
Cox and Judge Brinkerhoof are trying to
join hands with Horace Greeley and Col
Mcclure, men claiming to be enon-partisan,
like Schurz and Trumbull, are coquetting
with men like Sumnerand logan, who all
their lives have been the strictest parti-
sans-Sumner cracking the party lash
over the heads of Senators in the Inn
parchment trial as though their party ties
and not their consciences were to control
solemn opinions. Then, we have old party
hacks and bar-room politicians, like Frank
Blair and Gratz Brown, trying to embrace
such men as Associate Justice Davis and
and ex-Attorney General Hoar. Looking
at these incongruous elements we are nat
urally led TO inquire, what is to cement
them together and make them a compact,
strong organization. The main cry upon
which these men hope to rally the people
is that against coTuption?o But will
honest men feel more like trusting party
which,if formed at all, must be built main
ly out of the timber of that old
reasonable, corrupt party that has betrayed
its trusts and abused its powers until
its own leaders confess the people will
never again trust it? The party that
plundered New York city of hundred
millions and donated, without stint, the
peoples money to political ecclesasti-
cism; the party that involved the country
in war and resisted every measure intend
ed to protect the people against rcpe-
tition of it, cries out against the adj.
minstration of President Grant and
hopes, under the cry of reform and
a new party name, to induce people
to support it. Is this false cry, platform
enough upon which to rally all the va
rious opposing factions? VIII it afford
the nucleus for a great party about which
the people will rally? We think not. We
believe all who are interested in faithful
administration Of the laws all who want
the national credit unimpaired all whC
want the revenues honestly collected an(
faithfully applied all who distrust Dem
ocracy and do not wish to take the risk o
handing the Government again into it
hands, will not support the nominees O
the Philadelphia Convention, and save
the people from q national calamity.

FRANCE AND GERMANY.

Close observers of French affairs
have for weeks been convinced that n
change in the government is imminent.
President Thiers has not been able TO rec
oncile the conflicting elements in the gov
ernment or inspire confidence. He has
been persistently struggling for a new
armament and for additional levies in
stead of devoting himself TO the recupera-
ton Of the country. These indications
of trouble have not been unObserved in
Berlin. For weeks we have seen intima-
tiOns that activity in military circles was
everywhere evident. Our dispatches this
morning afford an explanation of these
unpleasant indications. Bismarck is de-
termined that no changes shall take place
in the French Government that will pref
udice the claim of Grrmany. The
parties who have pledged to pay
the stipulated indemnity ase non in uthor-

til they fulfill their obligations.

TIE TREATY OF WASHINGTON.

Mr.. Charles Francis Adams Interviewed.
The telegraph has mentioned the arrival
of Mr. Charles Francis Adams, American
member of the Geneva Court of Arbitra-
ton, in New York, on the 2lst inst He
appears to have been promptly set upon by
the interviewers. The Hcrdld reporter
makes him say
Mr.. Adams.-So far nothing has occur
red which warrants my saying that the
treaty will be failure. 1 left London
when the greatest excitement prevailed.
1t was on the evening when Mr.. Gladstone
made his hasty, inconsiderate speech,
which / read Just before my departure.
But since then Mr.. Gladstone has modi-
fed his language. In his two following
speeches he took back much of what he
had said at first.
Reporter.--Is there any likelihood that
the British government will consent to
pay the consequential damages in q lump
sum outside of arbitration?
Mr.. Adams.-rhe real question is not
about paying damages, but about admit
ting the claim of consequential damages
within the province of the Court of Arbi-
tration. Mr.. Gladstone holds that such Il
claim is not recognized by the treaty, and
has also declared himself against the pay
ment of consequential damages in lump
sum.
BY the reporter of the World, Mr.. Adj
ans is represented as explaining that the
excitement in England was, after all,
nothing more than a newspaper war, and
that, though not prepared for the question
of indirect damages, English men of busi-
ness with whom he had talked were wait
ing to hear one sum named, pay 1t, and
have the whole account sponged out Mr..
Adams, says the reporter, stated that he
thought it reasonable to refer our claims
under the treaty to the. Geneva court,
which could on the evidence reject or ap-
prove them, as justice demanded.
