and hit much nearer the truth, if it
would tell what it knows of the grand
conspiracy now Matching to make Cor
nelius Vanderbilt President of the Unit
ed States in 1867, as the candidate,
strange to relate, of the Farmers or
Anti Monopoly party of the great West,
in opposition to the party in power since
1850. The New York Herd d seems to
the initiated to be simply diyerting the
faction from the real Caesar of our times
Commodore Vanderbilt-to an imagn-
ary Caesar The army at the backo of the
Commodore is, to-day, larger than the
regular army of the United States, and
the influence of the former is absolute
over his followers. One of the most
powerful political organs in the country,
the New York Tribune, is believed to be
owned in part and financially controlled
by the Vanderbilt family, and the mar
vellous enterprise of that great paper is
thus easily accounted for, and its shrewd
and non-committal handling of the rail
road problem. The scheme to make
Vanderbilt the opposition candidate in
1876 is deep laid and cunningly devised,
and we appFehend that Augustus +.
Schell, Chairman of the National Dem
ocratic Committee, the executor of the
late Horace F. Clark, and the most init
mate personal friend and financial asso-
ciate of the Commodore, has taken a
leading part in this gigantic scheme of
elevating his patron to the White House.
Those grand quadruple tracks on the
! New York Central are not only inten-
ded to facilitate transportation for the
! West. but also switch its owner into the
! Presidential chair This great work
will be completed in about two years,
| Just about the period that the fever of
| the Presidential succession will set in.
| The Commodore will then be enabled to
carry through freight, such as grain,
I cheaper than ever it was carried before
| by any railroad. He can then proclaim
| to the oppressed millions of the West,
! II come to emancipate you. Behold
| your benefactor." How can the Ma
| tional Convention, called by Augustus
f. Schell, withstand the popular pressure
which such an appeal will make in this
material age--when only material ques-
| tions agitate the public mind? Add to
| this the element of strength the other
| significant fact that the Commodore has
! the inside track for the control of the
next election of the Western Union Tel
/ egraph Company, in which he may in
| augurate the cheapest system of tele-
| graphic intelligence the world has ever
/ seen, and the American people will see
| that the Caesar of this age is not the late
General of the armies, but the Colossus
of Wall street, whose charger is the To-
| comotive and whose messengers are the
! winged lightnings. -....

Late Markets.
BUTTER.

At New York on Monday, the receipts
for the week were nineteen thousand
seven hundred and thirty-two packages.
The exports for the week were ten hun
dred and sixty-two packages. The pric-
es of the finest qualities is maintained at
the late advance. The nearby butter in
New England, Jersey, etc, lessons in
make and is apt to be white and poor in
the dog days and they have to look more
to the New York districts for supplies,
which always enlarges this months de-
mand upon this market. 1t is thought
that the serious drouth of June together
with the gradually advancing prices of
last year, has set the minds of dairymen
to start the butter crop this fall as high
or higher than it is likely to be car
ried through the year, and the impress
sion gains ground that the startingprice
will probably be fully as high as circum-
stances shall warrant. The hay crop.
OF course is scant, and there was not the
usual flush of June feed, but as a rule
the pastures have done better than the
meadows, and through July the weather
was cool, with frequent rains, fresh
feed, and perhaps, less THAN the usual
shrinkage of milk. The demand of the
year is bound to be heavy. The
Western make is being usedin their own
towns and cities, and in the manufacture

CHEERFUL. is with pleasure we
record the fact that our public debt, may
be slowly, but surely is decreasing. As
each month passes away, we are gratifi-
ed with the cheering announcement
from the Treasurer, that our debt to a
certain additional amount is decreased.
One month the announcement is made
in millions, and the next in hundreds of
thousands. Last month it was decreas-
ed by the sum of $370,518,95. The
latter sum is not indeed very large but
it is much better than running in debt.
While at the same time we condemn all
extravaganza in the administration of
our governmental affairs, and express
our earnest disapprobation as regards
the 'salary grab, still we wish to ex-
press our hearty approval of the efforts
continual and prolonged, which have
characterized our present government,
in the matter of reducing our immense
debt.

A NEW IDEA--TIIE NEXT PRESIDENCY
VANDERBILT TO BE A CANDIDATE-wHO
ARE TO BE HIS SUPPORTERS.

The railroad problem is very likely to
make itself prominent in the next Presi-
dental election. The oppressed farmers
of the West will, however, play only a
secondary part i'll the Presidential game,
as the politicians have seized hold of it.
and will make it a hobby on which to
ride into power The recent inf1amma-
tory and denunciatory articles in the
New York Herald are something more
than sensational The silent and per-
vading influence of the President among
all classes of the people, particularly
among the business class, is something
without parallel in our political history,
and fills politicians who profit by the
change with intense disquietude. This
restiVeneSs under the oyershadowing
personal influence of one man is appa-
rent in the Republican as we'll as the
Democratic ranks. The Credit Mobilier
exposure of last winter has played such
sad havoc with old time leaders and re-
putations, that Grants prestige, as the
future leader of the party, seems more
pronounced, to-day, than ever before.
But as yet no one can fathom the pur-
pose of the President. He seems to be
the child OF fortune, totally unambitious
holding himself aloof from politicians,
and aiming only to act with rectitude,
without the least regard to the effect of
his measures. in promoting his own
popularity. The absolute and total fail
ure of the New York Herald to excite
anything more than visibility at its mon
strous pretense that in the humble-mind-
ed Grant the country might yet behold
Caesar dangerous to the liberties of the
country, show that the solid confidence
of the people is nndiminisheG in the ma
TONS choice. The New York Herald
