THE FIFTH AVENUE CONFERENCE.

THE FIFTH AVENUE CONFERENCE.
THE TRIBUNE was not mistaken in assuming
that nothing but good should be expected
from the Fifth Avenue Conference.
1t developed an overwhelming sentiment,
even among the discontented Free Traders,
in favor of the Cincinnati ticket as the only
rallying point about which could be gath
cred the opposition to Gen. Grant. 1t
drew from Senator Trumbull weighty,
compact, and unanswerable argument for Gin
cinnati. 1t brought from nearly every State,
represented in the Conference, unexpected de-
showed the irreconcilable opposition TO Messrs.
Greeley and Brown to be even smaller than
The TRIBUNE had anticipated.
And, finally, it drew from Gen. Carl Schurz
q cOgent, persuasive, magnetic appeal for a
harmonious support of the Cincinnati nomi-
nees, the influence of which can hardly
be OverTated. Gen. Schurz did not like the
nominations; and he has this great title to
consideration, that he has never pre-
tended to like them. But he has never
given the slightest warrant for the gross
Interpretations whereby he has been
reckOned as either hostile or doubtful and OH
the occasion which he has himself chosen as
the ittest, he procaims his attitude in q man
ner as influential as it is conspicuous
and frank. When he had spoken, last night,
the Conference had reached its results Its
national prestige, its political power, its gen
eral force had declared for Greeley and, for
mally resolving to take no other steps, it
adjourned without day.
There il still some dissatisfaction; a9d q

Gen. Sherman's march through Russia is
made to appear sufficiently like an ovation to

Two towns in Butler County, Kansas, are
fighting over the county seat. El Dorado has
it now, but Augusta has secured votes enough
to move it thither III Dorado mounts guard
with musketry and the cheerful domestic
pistol and swears that the county records
and machinery shall not go thence. Augusta
menaces FL Dorado, and El Dorado maintains
a stage of siege. The Governor has been be-
sought to intervene, and we may have Bleed
cling Kansas repeated in Butler County.

The first report of the Street-Cleaning Bu-
reau has quite the tone of romance OF the
modern practical sort. In the first week OF
its existence it has cleaned the entire paved
area of the city, and large part OF it has
been swept three several times. We venture
to say that the whole city was never before
known to be clean at one time. Moreover, we
are promised that all the streets will be kept
clean hereafter, which is perhaps too good a
story to credit fully, OF too fair promise to
make Internationally, and so the Superin-
tendent, whose report we are talking about,

sou,eGning less than the $4,000 which 1t cost

not seriously count the cost. That is compar-

sideration, and this New-YOrk must have at

Mr.. w. T. Clark, a Connecticut carpet
bagger, pretended to claim seat in the
House of Representatives from the Hid
Texas District The Governor, entering into
the conspiracy, actually gave hin the certifi-
cate of election, though it was patent and
demODstrable that d. G. Giddings had the
majority of votes cast. The House was COM
pelled to give Clark the seat until Giddings's
claim thereto should be made good. But
Clark, once in that seat managed
to keep it until just at the close of the session,
when tho House was forced, by the irrefrag-
able evidence adduced, to give Giddings, Dem
ocrat, the place held by Clark, Republican. A
more shameless case of fraud was never per
petrated on Congress; Gov. Davis knew and
Clark knew that Giddings had sole right to a
certificate of election, and that the throwing
out of the votes of four or five counties
was swindle. But MT' Clark, by re-
peated delays, managed to stave of
the contest in the House until he had
drawn pay and mileage for the session, and
had gobbled up every book, document, and
perquisite belonging to the lid Texas District
in Congress, and then went out with low
Joke on his lips. This man, who deserved a
livery of some sort, has been rewarded by the
President by appointment as Postmaster at
Galveston. And we have "the best civil ser

For months wo have been assured by the Grant
organs that the expectation that the Democratic
Convention would accept the Cincinnati nominees
was prelosterous that the Democrats merely wished
to lure the Liberal Republicans on TO their destruc-
ton and had not the remotest purpose themselves to
make other than straight nomination after they had
committed the Liberal Republicans beyond recall
Suddenly we are told, with an air equally positive
and oracular that the Democrats sure 10 accept
the Cincinnati ticket and that this is precisely what
the Grant men have all along wanted. In late
war, which, according to the Grant Convention
in New-York is still in progress, it was tho
habit of certain side to proclaim
after each defeat that their retreat only for the
purpose Of taking more desirable position, that in
short thoy had now just succeeded in getting the Yam
kee army exactly where tbey wanted it, and would
presently make short worl, of it. It would seem
that the Grant forces are equally certain
in their announcements about the Gin
cinnati movement. AT each reverse which they
have encountered they have just succeeded in get
ting the Cincinnati column where they wanted it..
and presently they are going to begin to punish 1t
tremendously.

just occasions for censure upon Gen. Butler,
that it gives US real pleasure to announce his
entire and handsome vindicatiOn in the Til
den-Butler suit, concerning the seizure of the
Nassau, which has been for some days in
progress in the United States Circuit Court
The proceedings were discontinued after an
explicit statement by the counsel of the plain
tiff that they were entirely satisfied Gen.
Butler had acted solely in the interests of the
Government, and for praisewortby objects.
They admitted, further, that they had been
misled by their own witnesses, and declared
1t mere act of justice that the proceedings

Gen. Logan takes pains to assert that he has
never dreamed of anything else than support
ing the Philadelphia ticket. He also takes
pains to assert that he fully expects the Phila-
delphia ticket to be elected. This last was
not necessary. If he had not believed it, he
would never have made the first state
ment. There is in all the United States no
more thorough believer in the duty of getting
on the winning side than Gen. John A. Logan.
If his Judgment were equal to his zeal, he
would be an invaluable political gmdeboard to
all tide-waiters and place-hunters. The Cen
erals course proceeds upon mere mlscaicu-
lation of forces-that is all. He is not so much
to blame;-he meant to get on the winning SIDE

Liberal Republican Convention, yesterday.
The enthusiasm which prevailed seems to
have been based on an intelligent perception
of the issues before us, as well as on the
prospects of success for the ticket. New
Jersey Republicans have little for which to be
thankful to this Administration, and the mis-
rule at Washington has brought forth fruit
in the large accession of her Republicans to
the popular Liberal movement.

Mr.. Gladstone has formally confirmed the
general impression that England considers
that the portions Of the Treaty of Washington
relating 10 other matters than the Alabama
claims stand OF fall 10y themselves. The action
of the British Government in filing their an
swer in the San Juan case before the Emperor
of Germany, the other day, was proof enough
of this position, perhaps; but the Premier, in
reply to a question propOunded in the House
of Commons, has declared that this was the
attitude of the Government. This is a crumb
of comfort, though not large enough to save
the Treaty from the failure which has over
taken it.

To her German citizens America owes great debt.
and one which it is pleasant gratefully and heartily
to concede 1t lies in the taste for good music, and
the understanding of it, which they have done so
much to give u.s. 1t is not very many years since
the character Of popular music was OF the poor
est and most unmeaDing sort 1t was only through
the Opera that our people could receive the higher
musical cultivation, and, Of course, it was but a
small minority that profted at that Italian school
The masses rejoiced chiefly in dance tunes and
negro melodies, and the noble and serious music OF
Germany was almost unknown to us. There has
been wonderful change not only in our cities, but
throughout the cOuntry-a change wrought, in
great measure, by the efforts Of our German resi-
dents Their societies and their concerts have n-
spred us to similar organization, and have more
than anything else perhaps taught us to appreciate
the best works of the best masters. 1t Is pleasure
to note every new SaenRerfe,t like that recently
held in St Louis, and to realize the meaning Of the
enthusiasm with which native Americans, as well as
Germans, greet compositions of sterling merit
That our musical standards ara rapidly and steadily
rising one of the most encouraging indications Of
the growing refinement and artistic feeling of the
nation.

is now ready to begin paying off the last sub
divisions of the German indemnity still due
BY the negotiations which have just been con-
cluded, the remaining three milliards OF francs
DOW unpaid are to be delivered as
follows: One milliaTd on OF before Feb
I, 1878; one milliard on or before
Dec. 81, 1878; and one milliard before
Dee. 81, 1874 AS soon as half millard OF
the first payment has been received, the De-
partments of the Marne and Haute-Marne are
to be evacuated; and at the completion of the
payment of each of the three milliards now
due the force Of the German Army OF Occu-
patton is to be reduced one-third, so that the
army will disappear with the payment of the
last subdivision of the indemnity. The remit
tance which will secure the evacuation of the
two remaining Departments is ready and the

An interesting insanity case has attracted some
attention this week in Philadelphia. William h.
Oskins was tried last February for the murder Of his
wife. under circumstances of peculiar atTocty and
was acquitted on the ground Of insanity. The ver-
dict caused surprise, as there was nothing IN
the testimony TO show that he lad before the killing
exhibited any signs Of madness. He was committed
as an insane person to the City Prison. and has been
there ever since. Now he is brought before Judges
Pierce and Finlatter upon habeas corpus and ms
enlargement is sought upon the ground that he has
never, since the trial, exhibited any symptoms Of
mental maady. The physicians, for this reason
only. decline to say that he has recovered. The
Judges refused TO grant order for the release OF
the prisoner upon these statements and evidence.
but said that any physician counsel might send
should be admitted to examine Oskins The best
that can be said for him is that be is subject to sud-
den fits of madness during which he is disposed to
commit murder. But what he has done once he
may at any time do again. A person liable 10 90
mad and kill is better under lock and key. IL he
gave no sgn before his first madness, he NAV give
no sign of another approaching paroXysm, and if he
benefits by his plea he must accept all its legitimate
consequences.

somewhat troubled by the wasteful and inhuman
practice of wantonly destroying buffaloes especially
by tourists journeying on the railway trains-"a
wanton waste of the lives of Gods creatures and
the valuable food which they furnish" We are now
informed by The San Francisco Post that by crossing
the bualoes with domestic cattle an excellent breed
of animals may be obtained, rather hard 10 keep in
