The New York Liberals-Senator
FentOn,s Position.

The New York liberal republicans have held
their State Convention, declared their plat
form, and have left their State ticket to be
considered hereafter. Their course will
probably be the same as that Of last year,
when they adopted mixed State ticket from
the republican and democratic nominations,
and when with their six or seven thousand
votes thrown in as balance of power they
elected their men. But as balance Of power
the liberals will doubtless direct their efforts
mainly to secure a balance in the Assembly,
whereby they may WELD their little strength
to some purpose in the election OF a United
States Senator in place Of Mr.. Fenton, whose
term expires on the 4th of March next. Our
State Senate (republican) elected last year,
holds good for the coming Legislature, and
against the republicans (for the United States
Senator) the only chance is an opposition
majority in the Assembly (of five or six)
which will give majority on joint ballot.
According to the results Of our last Novem-
Der election the republicans, under the guber-
material banner OF General Dix, have clearly
the best show for the Assembly; but the demo-
Gratis, under the advantages to them Of general
apathy, are hopeful, while here and there the
liberals expect to secure member, and If
they only gain even two or three members all
told, they may be enough to turn the scale
perhaps in favor of the reelection of Senator
Fenton. That, as liberal or independent,
he is candidate for another Senatorial term
we cannot doubt, and his position, as defined
the other evening in public speech before
the liberals at Albany, is such that upon a
pinch, as last resort and as a choice of evils,
he may be taken up by republicans or demo-
Gratis.
Mr. Fenton claims that the liberals in the
cause Of reform have done good service within
the last two years. but that much remains to
be done. He holds that the principles of his
party are in the end sure Of entire success.
He is sound on the money question. He dis
trusts the motives and the wisdom Of an ad-
ministration which assumes the power to
regulate State and local affairs. He de-
nounces the lack Of attention, the lack of
comprehension, or the lack of honest intent,
at the head of affairs, which he will discuss
at another time. From all this it is apparent
that no agreement has been entered into be-
tween the national administration and Mr..
Fenton, but that the Senator remains in the
attitude of infexible hostility to the national
powers that be. AS an active guerilla party,
therefore, under Mr.. Fenton, the liberals in
our approaching State election may possibly
gain the whip-hand in the Assembly over
the democrats and the republicans. We can
not tell, however, until we shall have heard
from the democrats at Syracuse and the re-
publicans at Utica.

The Euening Post in dwelling with COM
mendable emphasis upon the fact that ''the
HERALD possesses a large circulation" ex-
presses the natural regret that "the voters of
this State are not as enlightened as the
HERALD circumstance which the Post, with
Characteristic acumen, regards as misfor-
Let it be our duty, as well as the duty of the
Post, to educate the people. Let us show the
democracy that to force Mr.. Tilden upon the
State ticket now is to sacrifice the success of
the party in the State and its presumptive
the local ambition of Tammany Hall. Mr..
Tilden will only run, if at all, to help Mr..
Kelly.

Tnere lies Ine south, bleeding, DanKrupt, dis
honored-crime assuming the name of legis-
lation and anarchy dissolving society We
see the Presidency and the Senate clothed
with exceptional and undemocratic power,
while the popular house is not, as it should
be, the real source of government. The inde-
pendence of States and municipal bodies has
been fused into one vast central,
practically irresponsible and governing
central power. ''C@sarism," which year
ago was esteemed by some as HERALD sensa-
ton, is now seen to have been HERALD
prophecy, and is so important that State con-
ventions deal with it as solemn and
menacing issue. In the West the railway
controversy has assumed a shape that no
Legislature and no court can control Ques-
tons of emigration and civil service, OF civil
rights and the right of States to contract
debts which cannot be paid, and to repudiate
other debts that should be paid, ore all new,
threatening immediate Upon their solution
depends not merely the prosperity of the South,
but, as we are profoundly convinced, the
future happiness and fame Of the Union.
Thus believing, we say that there is no
better way to meet and determine these ques-
tions than by assembling all the States IN
national convention of peace and recon-
struction. We are coming upon our centen-
NAL anniversary and how better can we cele-
brate the hundred years of our national life
than to meet in solemn convention and con-
slider the state of the Union, adjusting every
issue that now threatens our peace and enter
ing upon our second century more confirmed
in our republicanism and more thoroughly
devoted to liberty and union2

OwINa TO BREAK IN THE CABLES con-
Meeting at ST. Pierre communication
with Europe has been interrupted for
the last twenty-four hours. The value
OF telegraphic communication was felt
very strongly by the mercantile body,
who were left in ignorance of the fuc-
tuations of values in Europe. Owing to the
absence of stirring events in Europe the gen.
eral public did not feel the interruption very
much. The accident however, teaches the
lesson that we should not be content to depend
on one or two cables terminating at the same
point, and therefore exposed to the danger of
being rendered useless by the same accident
or local cause that disables one. Prompt COM
munication with Europe is as much a neces-
sity now as the morning newspaper, and we
cannot be content to remain exposed to the
danger of being cut off from hourly informa-
tion of what is passing in the Old World. We
uust have more ocean cables-

The SHAKESPEARE DISCUSSION. THE discus
sion that now takes place in the forum of the
HERALD, as to whether Shakespeare or Bacon
wrote what are called ''Shakespeare's plays"
is continued this morning. Mr.. Furness, of
Philadelphia q learned and graceful Shake
spearian student pronounces earnestly in
favor of Shakespeare. Mr. Davey addresses
us an exhaustive and able letter taking
the same ground. These and the other con-
tributions are exceedingly valuable accessions
to Shakespearian literature, and show the
importance of the modern newspaper,
not only as an advocate of opinions
and gazette of news, but as
lyceum for investigation. In this discus
sion, as our friends must again permit us to
remind them, the HERALD is of no party. We
merely present the case, looking upon the
debate with as much interest as our readers,
and reserving our own judgment until it is
closed.

The Manifesto of the British SOien.
lists at Belfast.


The grand gathering of the clans of science
at Belfast, which has just adjourned, will
mark momentous era in the history of the
age. No student of the progress of modern
philosophy can fail to be impressed with the
altered tone and emboldened claim there put
forth by its great votaries, who within the
memory Of men still living were wont to wear
the mien of modesty and disavow every specu-
lative pretension. Taken as the spokesmen
of the great brotherhood Of science, the hon.
ored leaders who spoke out at Belfast have
made manifesto which will ring forth in no
ambiguous sound over the whole world.
Their words are an undisguised declaration Of
war upon systems which their forefathers in
confessedly shaped the morals, the religion
and the law of all Christendom.
1t is the part of skilful strategist to shift
the scene of active military operations from
the field where he mannuvres to disadvantage
to one where he can strike fatal blow, and
yet, in case of reverse, find an easy retreat.
Such has been the strategy of those who met
at Belfast to plan the campaign and fight the
battle Of science against the religious system
which seeks to chasten its pride of reason and
confne it within the legitimate limits OF scien-
tifc thought. AS, more than once, we nave
predicted, the aim has been disclosed to make
the theory of evolution the dark and myste-
rious ground of the future conflict which
scientists wage for supremacy. No longer is it
proposed to bring evarv thought and every

In THE SK1Es.-The balloon question should
be settled soon, so that we may know some
thing of the air tides and the currents in the
heavens. Our Philadelphia correspondent de-
scribes balloon trip from that city to Allen
town, which was pleasant adventure. If these
air excursions are scientifically managed, they
should yield us curious information about the
upper regions, and perhaps lead to discov-
cries of value in reference to the navigation of

The YELLOW FEVER SToRY.-The story that
came to us yesterday to the effect that yellow
fever had made its appearance on the Gulf
and the Atlantic coast seems to have been
coarse and cruel cotton -jobbing canard,
started at this time to affect the price of cot
ton. There is no sign of the epidemic what
ever, and there is no fear of its appearance
at this season of the year.

long FAREWELL FAREWELL farewell" Loud
cries of s'Farewellr s'Farewellr' aud much
excitement among the colored spectators. !
Kelley then shaded his eyes with one hand.
aud prayed as follows: "Oh my Heavenly
Father, we do thank Thee TO-DAY for thus
sparing us to meet here on the occasion OF
this mans death. Thanks be to God, am
| ready. Father have mercy on all within
the sound of my voice. Bless, Father, the
jsilor and his family. Bless the ministers
standing upon the platform with me. Bile IS

Thee that Thou hast spared me to meet this
Judgment about to be visited upon me. Oh
Father. Thou hast heard Thy little ones cry
ceased In my body, ease me down into my
grave, through Christ, my Redeemcr.
Amenr As the prayer was brought to a
close, loud cries and groans were heard
nom the eolored people present, The
and Sheriff Whitworth securely tied bis
arms and feet with strands of cord. A mo-
ment later the black cap was drawn over
his face by Deputy Sheriff wilkinson, and
the deadly moose adjusted by the sheriff.
The officer whispered, '.is IL to tight, Bill9"
TO which the prisoner replied, No, SIR" At
this moment the excitement among the col
ored people became fearful. In the midst
of the tumult Sheriff Whitworth turned to
the vast surging crowd and said: 81 am
willing at all times to do my duty, but This
is painful one to me-" He then rapidly
descended the steps, walked beneath the
platform, seized keen Ratchet, and struck
quick blow.
THE TRAP FELL
instantly, aud the body OF Bill Kelley was
suspended between the heavens and the
earth. This was at thirty-tbree minutes
and thirty-three seconds past o'clock. The
fall was about five feet, but, owing to the
fact of tie knot slipping from It's position,
the neck was not broken. Death, however.
was painless, scarcely struggle following
the lunge of the body, which swayed
sluggishly to and fro, gave few eonvulsive
tremors, and then was motionless. Not
more than two Or three minutes after the
fall of the trap terrible connection arose.
caused by the plungipg of frightened
horse, to the west of the gallows. Men,
women and children rushed like wild
wave against the rope surrounding the
ground, and instantly the guard, bay onets
and all. were overwhelmed and even the
gallows and its horrible burden. were in
danger OF being overthrown. When the
stampede first occurred, it was thought the
colored people were making break for the
purpose of rescuing Kelley, and hundreds of
revoiyers were drawn by people standing
outside the ropes and who rushed to the
assistance of the guard. The neise and con-
fusion was frightful, and cheeks of brave
men turned pale nth ter. or. The bayonets
of the Enfield rifles, with which the sheriff's
posse was armed. flashed in the sunlight as
their bearers vainly strove to press back
the mass of human beings bearing down
upon them. Sergeant McAllister dashed
into the crowd on horseback, with revolver
in hand, and aided materially in restoring
order.
