The Springfield Republican makes kindly
and in the main just analysis OF the char
acter and influence of Mr.. Dawes, who now
retires from public life after long service.
''With all of Mr.. Dawes faults and short
comings," says the editor. she does not leave
his equal as o public servant behind him in
the body which he is quitting after eighteen
years of continuous service. Run over the
list of the best men in the House-G Garfield,
whom the Nation coddles and invents excuses
for, with tenderness quite foreign to its
stern nature; the Hoars, the others. There
is not man Of them who can match records
with him either in respect to useful public
service or political courage. Not a man Of
them has worked SO hard or accomplished 80
much; not q man of them has spoken out so
boldly or taken such risks in the performance
of public duty. If he is naturally 'timid,'
if risks are not at all in his line, 80 much the
more honor to him." Timidity in public life
is weakness that too often as
sumes the proportions of crime. Our
public men have no right to assume the dig
mites and rewards of Office and to ignore it's
duties. MIR. Dawes himself, in one conspio-
uous and lamentable instance, illustrated
how weakness could be made crime. When
the Credit Mobilier infamy was in full tide in
the House Mr. Dawes, by one of those
speeches which he knew so well how to make
when they served o political purpose could
have driven it back forever. He did not make
the speech He condoned and approved this
fraud. And it was shown that at the very
time he was engaged in pecuniary transactions
with the leader of this fraud We are willing,
in kindness to Mr.. Dawes, who now goes from
public life after many years Of faithful ser
vice, to call this 'timidity." But it was
morally crime.

ALAS The Boston Traveller now advises US
that ''the clerk who was carried for about four
years on the payroll of the House Postmaster
without doing any work was the private
secretary Of General Garfield, who took this
means of paying him out of the national
Treasury for personal services. We hope
General Garfield can disprove this grave
accusation, and especially the additional aver
ment that he threatened to secure the removal
of the present Postmaster 'if he disturbed
the arrangement"

The PrrrsBURa Despatch says that it is quite
probable that the intimations that have been
conveyed to Rome as to the feeling Of Ameri-
can Catholics on the question Of an American
cardinal twill receive an early and favorable
answer" This is good news When we
read the announcement that the Pope re-
garded America as country in which he was
more Of Pope than in Europe we felt sure
that he would not continue to overlook the
claims OF the faithful prelates and officers Of
our American Church in the distribution of
its supreme honors.

MIR. BEEcHER. The publication in another
column of Mr.. Beechers letter asking Plym-
outh church, through some of its most worthy
and distinguished members to investigate the
charges made against him by Mr. Tilton will
crafty every friend of truth and morality in
the community. Mr.. Beecher courts the
fullest inquiry into bis life and conduct as a
Christian pastor, and the result we are con-
fident, will be source of pride and thankful
ness to the millions who have honored and
trusted him for 80 many years.

"UNpER WHICH KING ?''-Hon. Ellis II.
Roberts, member Of Congress from the Utica
district, does not respond to the appeal Of the
HERALD as to the nomination of the President
for third term. The diplomatic finish of his
explanation will excite admiration. He says,
in the Utica Herald:-
The NEW YORK HERALD, which perhaps origi-
third term discussion, In referring to q recent
article in these columns sayS:-
''If the third term idea Is to be beaten men like
Mr.. Roberts must not speak in proverbs and
tnat such nomination would be blow at repub-
ican institutions more terrible than would have
been the success OF the rebellion"
Our naInesake insists that nomination for
President for a third term is probable. We regard
1t az contingency too remote to be considered.
The American people Will not cOquet with the
treat 1t with prompt decision. In the meantime
we see no reason for any more bold proclamation
than any other curious put impracticable PROPOSE
ti0n. Nor after the citations OF our namesake do
we find any evidence that any republican journal
or leader has advocated third term Tor the Presi
dent We DO not wrong General Grant by toler-
atlng the belief that he listens for moment to the
revolutionary scheme.
If men like Mr.. Roberts, who hold high
place in the republican party and look for
ward, justly, to higher honors, insist upon
dealing with the third term question in this
guarded, coy, diplomatic fashion, nothing can
prevent the Presidents denomination, and
nothing, we are profoundly confident, the
overwhelming defeat Of the party and it's can
didate. If republicans like Mr.. Roberts were
wise they would see this.

to the members OF the Assembly
Committee of Thirty It will be seen
by our specification of certain clauses of his
proposition that MacMahon is engaged in the
very delicate work of endeayoring to retain
the chief power of the State in his own hands
and of according at the same moment some
thing to the people and the Assembly.
Just here, however, is the critical point.
Is it only proper assertion of authority that
is to be apprehended, or has the country to
contemplate new piece Of Cromwellism or
Napoleonism in the act of the man who
expels the Assembly and assumes to govern in
its placeP No one in France seems to appre-
hend the possibility Of dishonest course on
the part of the old Marshal he stands in
the glory of a good name. People have faith
that he will not violate an oath to defend and
protect the country and become its ruin under
the delusive inspiration of personal or
family ambition. He is not vulgar adven-
turer. He never tried to secure crown with
q tame eagle and piece of raw meat. He is
not an accident Of political complications,
who, a magnste In Office to-day, would be
nobody if out of Office tomorrow. Even to
count commercially one may say that it is
better worth while to be the honest Duke Of
Magenta, famous old soldier, SCARED in his
country's wars and beloved and respected by
all, than to be scorned in life and death as o
king who rose to q throne by perjury and
theft

ANXIOUS ABOUT THE WESTERN Trade
The Boston merchants and people generally
have been good deal exercised of late about
the trade of the West. Several meetings have
been held of late, at which the Mayor and
other prominent gentlemen were present. The
newspapers, too, keep hammering at the sub
ject. At recent meeting, where as is re-
ported, ''great enthusiasm was manifested" q
committee was appointed to concert meas
ures and secure an organization for the pur-
pose of improving the trade between Boston
and the West, and for 'building up the bust
ness Of Boston" These gentlemen are look
ing to the railroads chiefly to accomplish their
object. All this is fair enough. The Boston
people are to be commended for their spirit of
rivalry and for looking after their own inter
ests, but they cannot overcome insuperable
natural and geographical disadvantages We
would advise them not to sink their capital in
hopeless struggle, but to bring it to New
York, which is and must be the centre of
trade and activity.

An Extraordinary Summer In Europe.
From the other side of the Atlantic there is
increasing intelligence of the most abnormal
weather, which will be likely to mar the pleas
ure of American tourists and to affect agri-
cultural interests seriously. When, within
week or two of the summer solstice, damag-
ing frosts afifict country, as they have this
year afflicted Great Britain, the prospects of
the husbandman must be greatly jeopsrdized.
An English contemporary states that the tenn
persture for the week ending June 40, as re-
corded at the Royal Observatory (Greenwich),
fell 6.5 below the mean for the last fifty years.
The Tweed, il is said, has not been so low
since 1925, when corn was so short in the
stalk it was pulled by hand. The droughts
have been 80 extensive that the hay harvest
has bean very short and the cattle have suf-
fered distressingly, while the unreasonable
dryness has been relieved only by destructive
hail storms.
The alarming feature of the season is
deficiency Of the temperature requisite for
grain ripening and this appears to extend
beyond the British Isles. In the north of
Italy the frequency Of tremendous hail storms
is anomalous, and indicates an extremely low
thermometer, which is anything but aus
picious for health or harvest. Some of the
old Italian churches and other magnificent
public edifces have suffered severely in these
tempests and we have reports of the streets
of Milan being covered with wounded and
dead birds, finding no escape from the icy
elements. Indeed, it would seem that the
whole northern hemisphere, including our own
Continent, has so far, Notwithstanding occa-
sional outbursts Of excessive heat, experienced
ON extraordinary thermal depression during
the summer. Can not our scientific men
determine whether this anomaly is in any de-
gree traceable to the cosmical influence of the
comet? Whether this can be done or not the
facts stated are significant CT those conditions
which determine the harvest calculations Of
the present year in Europe.

CARIIsT BARBARITIEs. General Dorregaray
has, it appears, issued manifesto to the civ
ilized world, in which he denouuces the re-
pubicans and at the same time attempts to
justify the execution of republican soldiers
by the followers of Don Carlos. In view of
the fact that remarkable leniency has been
shown from the beginning by the repubi-
cans to those Carlist rebels this manifesto dis
plays a spirit of savagery not wholly out of
keeping with the known tendencies Of the
partisans Of divine right. The aim of the
leaders in numbering prisoners is clear
enough. They desire q war d o,itrance be-
cause the recent defeats have lessened their
authority with their followers. A war with
out quarter would cut off all retreat from the
rank and file, who would be compelled. by
fear of reprisals to adhere to their chiefs.
This is evidently the meaning of this last
outburst Of brutality on the part of the men
who come to save society and religion from
the dreadful republicans. Such tactics, how
ever, can only bring the Carlist cause INTO
disrepute, without in any way increasing the
Bourbon pretender's chances Of success
A DIsEAsE-BREEDNa NUISANCE still exists
on the west side of the city, up town, from the
old slaughter house establishments, notwith-
standing the long and earnest protests Of the
people and the press. The smell is very Of
fensive and calculated to spread disease at this
season of the year. Sometimes, when the
wind blows from the west, it reaches across
the city. The Sanitary superintendent of the
city reports, it is true, that the slaughtering
houses now are generally in good condition,
yet the nuisance remains. It is thought the
remains of the old neglected slaughter system
are imbedded in the mud along the shore of
the river and that the evil arises from these.
Whatever may be the cause it ought to be re-
moved promptly. The health of the city, to
say nothing of the unpleasantness of the vile
odor, is of too much importance to neglect
this matter or to leave the difficulty unsolved.
The nuisance should be removed at any cost
and without DELAY.

EMIGRATION TO MIDDLE GEORGIA At
lanta papers record large immigration fow-
ing into the interior of the State Many of
them are English and Northern people, who
ore amply supplied with funds to purchase
land and engage in manufacturing industries
while large proportion, the Atlanta Herald
reports, are white residents of Louisiana and
South Carolina, who have emigrated to escape
negro rule in those States, to higher ATTITUDES,
where the negro population is in subordina-
ton. There is, in consequence, remarkable
decrease in coast property, and the Herad in
stances the Hill plantation on the Waccamaw
River, South Carolina, now offered for twelve
hundred dollars, that two years ago com.
manded as high as twelve thousand dollars.
Land on another rice plantation is offered at
seventy-fve cents per acre, which, previous to
negro rule in the State, was held at from
seventy-fve to one hundred dollars per acre.
ALABAMA Politics. The canvass in this
State has already become very exciting and
the election is likely to decide whether the
whites or the carpet-baggers are to rule the
State in the future. The whites, under the
lead of General Houston for Governor, are Or
ganizing all over the State against the blacks
and the few whites who lead them, and they
propose to go to the polls on the simple ques-
ton of whether they will or will not tolerate
the civil rights proposition and equality for
the negro. The conservative organs report
the entire white population, with few carpet
bag exceptions, united, and express confidence
of winning a substantial victory on the Sd of
November. The issue is q most unfortunate
one, and we cannot but feel that wisdom
would have avoided it.
