EDITORS APPEAL-There is an ever

current Of Arkansas politics. Two
months ago the Minstrel rock was terri
bly, lashed in the political storm, and
Brindle' clouds threatened to sub
merge il in the waves, but the fury OF
the storm subsidies and scintiiiations OF
sunlight sre here and there visiblein the
political sky. The grim -visaged Min
stFel monster now reGrs his front and
assumes a somewhat slightly aspect. The
Minstrel press have adopted q tone and
policy OF c0mmendable conservatism

mapped out by the Little Rock ReUu6-

improved as TO be hardly recognizable
by its partisan Opp0nents-and, if the
course indicated by its editorials is pur-
sued, the party in power, with Judge
Baxter in the van, will lead to
very good results and soon attain
popular approval The well-known con-
servstive tendencies Of the Governor
elect, Mr.. Baxter. invite the people to
hope that this policy viii be adherd to,
as his influence viii be a tower Of
strength and eXerted in behalf Of con-
serVatism.
THE EIUDDLE.
Candidates for Senatorial preferment
are being daily added to the already
numerous list. There are Democratic
Riehmonds in the field, all expecting to
be vanquished, but hoping to renew a
similar contest at a more Opportune
time. Among these are A. H. Garland
and E. n. English. II. c. Caldwell
said to be in training for the macad-
amized Senatorial course, expecting to
run on the 'compromise, but in Ar
kansas they compromise nothing: there
fore what might be a strategic political
move in Iowa won I win here. The con-
test here is like trough and tumbler
fight, to be won by him who can e'stayn
the longest The sequel viii sustain
these predictions.
DORSEY AND BANCROFT
An organ will soon be started here in
the interest OF Colonel Dorsey, and will
cOliate its wit and billingsyate from the
fertile brain of Captain Bancroft. The
final result of the ballOting is already a
fOreg0ne cOnclusion-with the Clavton-
Hsdley- Dorsey Mcdonald combination
against him, General Tom Bowen is the
favOrite against the field. His strength
is positive aud tangible, and augments
with the near Aacroach Of the legisla-
tive session. His opponents seem rest
less, growing sensibly aware Of pros
pective failure-their utter hopelessness.
Bowen has nerve and capacity, and, I
have reason to believe, would serve his
constituency with credit 20 both The

suggested that the schooner Eettie Gushing,
which is supposed to have sunk tue Metis, and
which certainly came into collision with some
steamer, was not the cause Of the disaster, but
that her collision was with some other YES
sell In support Of this theory it is said that
some one on board the Nets heard from the
schooner the cry, eve are sinking" and also
that one of the Nettie Cushiug's crew declares
that the steamer in collision with her was
painted white, which the Nets was not. As
no other steamer has reported a collision on
that night, this theory involves the assumption
that the Metis sunk her shooner with all on
board, and that the Nettie Cushing sunk the
steamer which she struck. The investigation
begun yesterday at New London by Supervising
Inspector Low, by order of Secretary Boutwell,,
will probably clear up these doubts.

Iusecurity orlife in londou.

De Quincy describes with startling vividness
the pane into which London was plunged by
one of the "three memorable murders" of which
he gives an account. The wholesale slaughters
OF family, and the escape Of the assassin, filled
the metropolis with dread and indefinite appre-
hension. a similar panic has been felt more
than once by the Londoners within the past wear
or two. The typical detective of the society
novels and sensational plays, if he ever had
actual existence, seems 10 have wholly disap-
peared, They age nc longer lynxed.eyed, sharp
nosed little men, with coats buttoned close to
their chins, and their fingers slipped, with an
air OF omniscient cunning, between its buttons
to be found in the COVent Garden district await
ing mice cases" and ready to follow the trail of
an assassin with bloodhound pertinaclty and
instinct. Indeed, the public confidence is not
only fast ooZing away, but is already SO far
gone that the papers are already grumbIing
loudly over the state OF insecurity which prevails
Several recent cases, in which crimes have been
committed, and the criminals have succeeded in
eluding the pursuit Of justice, have naturally
created considerable alarm.
Some months ago young Russian named
Bauer, commercial traveller for Birmingham
iron house, on returning to London from Po-
land, where he had been on business suddenly
disappeared. Soon after his employers received
a letter in his writing, stating that he was about
TO undergo the penalty of death at the hands OF
Il russian secret society, for having violated the
VOWS which he had taken as their confederate.
From that day to this no trace Of Bauer has
been found, though he disappeared in the heart
of London in full day, and though the police
have been constantly on the alert to solve the
mystery.
More recently two cases have occurred, so
similar, so horrible and mysterious IN their ma
ture, as to shock aud alarm the whole commu-
nifty. Within an interval of two months the
bodies OF two young ladies, who had undoubt-
edly been murdered, were found floating in
Regents park canal. Not only did the police
fail to discover the murderers, but they were
unable to find clew to the names and resi-.
dences of the victims; both these matters are 10
this day mystery Both the young ladies were
evidently well bern and well TODD; yet they
nave passed, nameless, unclaimed and una
venged, into oblivion
The latest case of murder, the perpetrators of
which, as we write, have not yet been discovered
was That Of two poor women, mother and
daughter, who kept Il paint shop at Hoxton
they were killed in most brutal fashion, at
hlgh noon, in street oyercrowdcd with people
ana IN house standing in the MIDST oil shops
whose trade was in full tide at the moment of
the crime. Such deels, committed with impu.
nifty, and by men whose good fortune permits
them to walk the streets in freedom and plot
new atrocities, may well stir the Londoners to
an energetic protest against the inefficienev and
languorof the police, who seem TO have sadly
degenerated since the early years of Victoria's
reiun

All Americans who have made the round of
the cathedral cities of England, or who have
passed through Canterbury on their way from
London to the continent, not like Chaucer's pill
grims, bnt, rather, like Cooks Excursiouists, or
Mark Twain's Innocents Abroad, will learn
with great regret that fire is in progress that
threatens the destruction of Canterbury cathe-
dral. The magnificent structure was begun in
the early part OF the twelfth century, but was
not finished until two centuries later 1t is
adorned with tower of rare beauty, and its
irised windows throw their many colored light
upon nave and aisles of the most imposing
architectural effect
The length of the edifce is 514 feet, and its
extreme breadth II feet. Many years ago, but
not long before the accession of Victoria, it was
restored and beautfied, and further decorations
were contemplated as part of the general sys-
TEN OF restoration now going on, which has
permitted MIR. Gambler Parry to enrich the roof
Of Ely cathedral with wondrous ornament, and
made the Chapter House of Salisbury one Of the
finest gems of decorative art.
OF the historical associations of Canterbury
the most stirring is the murder of the celebrated
Archbishop Thomas a beckett before the high
altar in NO. There are many monuments in
the interior of more or less interest as Sculp-
lures, among which those erected to the memory
of Henry w. and the Black Prince are of great
est interest.
The fire. which the telegraph informs us is
beyond the reach of the local fire brigade, we
may hope will vet be eXtingushed before the ex-
quisite building has been wholly destroyed.
Canterbury is but ninety minutes from London
by the lightning express, and we may believe
that the London tiremen will repairtO the scene,
with their engines and apparatus, as fast as
steam can carry them.
But should they fail in arreSing the flames
until the woodwork of the cathedral no longer
offers anything to burn, it is gratifying to know
that the ruin will not necessarily be complete or
irremediable. twice. within forty-three years
has York Minister been almost reduced to a
cinder in the interior. In 1929 it was set on fire
by a lunatic, and the ceiling, stalls, and screen
of the choir were totally consumed Again, in
1910, through the negligence of a workman, il
caught fire and was we-nigh Quilted by the
flames. But the structure has been built anew
within its ancient walls; the brasses tombs
tablets, payements, remain comparatively un.
harmed; some of the stained windows yet re-
tain their antique panes; and York Minister i:

In like manner we may hope that Canterbury

that over twenty-five thousand democrats IN
that state refuse 70 support Greeley, and that
straight out" democratic clubs are forming in
every county. The letter adds that the negroes,
If not prevented by the operation Of the recently
adopted tax law, will vote solidly for Judge
Walker, the republican candidate for governor,
and for General Grant The time for holdiDE
the election in Georgia, the writer saws, has
been changed from November 5 to October 2.
A Boston gentleman, who has been travelling
through Vermont and Canada, and who before
his trip was somewhat infected with Greeleyism,
now says Two things rather shook my faith
during my tour One was that all those Ka-
nucks, who, during the war, aided our rebels
and supported the St. Adams raiders, now are
outspoken for Greeley, and say they hope he
will clean out the id abolitionists. The other
is that almost all the good old farmers and hon
est stage drivers with whom cOnyersed in Yer
mont would say: oval, l think, after all, that
Grant is pretty good sort of a workugman's
president, and guess wen have to vote for him
once more" 1t is pretty hard 10 confuse the
instincts of such men, and that is the way they
talk all over the state.

WORCESTER
THURSDAY, SEPT. >. 1879.

The speech which Senator Sumner prepared
for delivery in Faueuil Hall, has been printed
since his departure for Europe. 1t is chiefly
defense of the position in which he finds him
self. There are quotations from some of his
former speeches, with new meanings suggested
touching the matter of reconciliation" and
there is a forlorn attempt TO believe the demo-
cratic party has been converted" His old talk
against Gen. Grant is renewed to some extent,
and there is eulogy of Mr.. Greeley, sort Of
fancy picture, which fails to show that gentle
man as he is. The speech does not show his
accustomed earnestness and strength, and it
will persuade nobody TO Join him in the work Of
restoring the democratic party to power, who is
not already engaged in that work The best
thing about the speech is the indication that
Mr. Sumner, while writing it, felt that his posi-
ton needed defence. A few years hence, we
think, he himself will regard this defence as
wholly insufficient We are glad he mas gone
to Europe, and hope he will find there all needed
health, rest, and tranquility.

The Louisville convention appears to be very
respectable so far as concerns numbers. On
balloting for candidate, 6O4 votes were cast by
delegates holding credentials. Perhaps it will
amount to nothing, as the organs of Greeley and
Brown say; but it seems determined TO do
good deal more than its critics admit to be pos
sible. 1t is edifying to see how it is treated by
some of the Greeley organs. The New York
Tribune is quite sure that it will pass into his
tory "amid the ridicule of a continent" and
regards it as inexpressibly contemplate. The
World calls it "disbonest' and "bogus,"
says "no respectable, honest democrat will con-
sent to take their nomination." and treats it as
awless disturber OF the peace These journals
can not deny that it troubles the nerves of The
Greeley canVassers.
We observe its proceedings with considerable
curiosity. 1t may prove to be weak and unim-
portant in its influence on the canvass, but this
can not be made certain beforehand by any criti-
cism or cursing of the Tribune and World.
Therefore, il seems more prudent to wait a little
and see what it can do. Even the World ad
mts that there a great many "hOnest demo-
Gratis who would be glad of an opportunity to
vote for some other presidential candidate than
Mr.. Greeley" and, certainly, there are many who
will either vote for some other candidate or not
vote at all. This shows that the Louisville con-
yention has a constituency which it may succeed
in organizing effectively. For this reason, the
Tribune is too hasry in describing it as contempt
ible. Should it prove TO be SO, this will be due
to lack of spirit and skill in its managers; for
there is abundant opportunity to make it some
thing very different If the Baltimore conven-
ton had nominated Senator Thurman or Gov
ernor Hoffman, such movement against the
nomination would certainly amount .
or, rather, would ~

imperative enemies of the dem
voratc party that ever assailed it. Rebellion
against him as a candidate is not the same thing
as to bolt the nomination of regular represen
tative democrat. We think the Tribune has
some reason Tor trepidation.
The Louisville convention has been watched
and plotted against with great industry by
Senator Fenton and his congressional commit
tee. His conspiracy to make it seem that the
republicans were aiding it, in which his private
secretary and three or four persons employed in
his committee room were concerned, has been
fully exposed Nevertheless, the Tribune has
done all it eau to make somebody regard this
convention as republican contrivance, although
it represents bolt which began openly at Bal
timore. The Fenton-democratic conspiracy to
discredit or destroy it, has even sought
10 capture Charles O'Conor and with
draw his influence from the movement
They were eager to make him the Greeley
democratic candidate for governor, and
appeared to believe, that, like Mr.. Greeley him
self, Mr. O'Conor could be bought with
nomination. They could not buy him. He was
not moved from his purpose; and, although he
has desired the convention to nominate some
other man, it now seems likely that he will be
its candidate for the presidency; for the nomi-
nation has been formally rendered, and he has
not declined it, although be has repeated the ex-
preston of his desire TO have the convention
select some other man. Before merning, our
dispatches may tell how this question has been
settled

IDAHO INDIANS The Idaho Signal of the
lilh says Some Indians fired the grass on the
inrther side Of Iammany hollow last week, and
it burned off all the winter range for stock
between the hollow and Glass farm. There
seems to be determination on the part of these
Indians to prevent the white settlers from hay-
ing any winter range for their stock. At this
time OF the year, when the grass is so dry, the
fire not only burns the grass, but it destroys the
roots, and It does seem singular that nothing
can be done onsthe part of those who have the
Indians IN charge 20 prevent them from doing
this mischief Fires have been deliberately started
by the Indians within the past fortnight, for
the evident purpose Of burning newly cut hay
and at the same time destroying all
the pasturage within the range Of farmers.
These Indians have reservation con-
timing within its limits the cream OF the sur
rounding country. Over this area the whites
are not allowed TO herd any of their stock, while
on the other hand the Indians may Craze theirs
upon any land that Is not fenced There is,
however, an agent appointed and paid by the
government, who, while he is supposed to see
tnat me Indians ENJOY all the rights guaranteed
thelh ny the treaty, Is also expected to see that
tney DO not infringe upon the rights Of the
WINE settlers. Year after year large numbers
OF stock owned by white men disappear lost

horse cannot be found, Year after year these
