Whoever Will take the trouble to observe
the state of public opinion in the various sec
tions of the Union will soon be convinced
that the Currency question is not settled.
The Inhationists everywhere outside of New
England New-Y York, California, and Texas,
are actively and earnestly pushing things. If
they are not met by superior activity and
earnestness on the other side, their final tri-
umph and the disgrace of the country are but
questions of time 1t is therefore of the high
est importance to those who comprehend what
great things are at stake that they should
know the true situation of affairs. First and
foremost, we have been greatly weakened by
the schcming of politicians. Speaker Blaine,
in his long letter to the voters of the Hid
Congressional District of Maine, devotes one
solitary but significant sentence to the subject
of the Currency "The Currency question, at
zone time threatening to diCide parties, and
"what would be far more serious, to divide
"sections, is IN process of a Happy adjustment,
"partly by rise and temperate enactment passed
"by large majority in both branches Of Con-
"qress, and approved by the President, but in a
{" far greater degree by the operation Of
"causes more powerful than any legislation
"can be-" Considering how many political
conventions are controlled by the Inflation-
lists, and that reputation of State and National
indebtedness is openly advocated i'll some
parts of the South and Pendletonianism in
the West, we cannot join in Speaker Blane's
fluctuations that political parties are not to be
divided, "a Happy Adjustment" having been
accomplished.
Concerning that Happy Adjustment" we
have q few brief observations to make ::
/. Reported from a Conference Committee
made up of four Inflationists (Messrs Ferry
of Michigan, Wright, Marshall, and McCrary)
and two -Infatonists (Messrs. Dawes and
Stevenson), in the division by which it passed
both branches of Congress, the vote of no
Infationist is recorded against it, while more
than half of the opponents of Initiation re-
fused to support it, 2, This AdiustmeRt

TIE POSTPONED REG1TT1

Up to Thursday evening last there was
general cOngratuation over the change of
locality for the University Regatta. When il
was first proposed to forsake the New England
rivers for the New-YOrk watering place, there
were dismal forebodings of the result among
many friends of University sports. 1t was
thought to be triflng with youthful innocence
to throw it into such immediate contact with
mundane influences Saratoga had long pos
sessed baleful fame In several respects.
There the hotel clerk assumes his most
destructive and austere aspect; there woman
is l0yeliest and most devastating; and there
is widespread Iumor of the snares of hazard
lying in wait in Saratoga for the unwary,
which lilIens it to the Connecticut deacons
idea of Arkansas, "a far-distant country,
"where the jack takes the ace.o
But those who passed this week M Sara
toga appeared to have come to the conclusion
that the students had lost nothing of conse-
quence i'll moving the scene of their annual
games little further West. The air and the
water both seemed favorable. The sirens of
the hotel piazzas and the wolves of the green
cloth both refrained from going out of the
way to bite the young athletes who stuck to
their oars. The crowd, on the other hand.
was something phenomenal. The coolest esti-
mate placed it among the twenties of thou
sands. The prospect of bagging two birds
with one stone has always been fatally allur-
ing to our race. Saratoga and the Regatta
are each 80 well worth seeing that the
addition of the other makes the attraction
irresistible to any one who has the day at his
hat th. nf q.
sites had the prospect of exhibiting their
prowess before a crowd of spectators which
was large and discriminating enough to have
reused the noblest rage of emulation. Per

not care for this. II they did not, 1t was a
mistake. The thirty thousand people VINO
wanted To see the race on Saratoga Lake
would have been able and inclined to give
q considerable impulse to the interest IN athletic
sports in this country, which we take to be the
chief object of this Intercollegiate Regatta
But it must be confessed that the bad be-
havior of the weather on Thursday and yes
terday suggests far more serious Objection
to the selection of Saratoga than any that
tmd critics saw last year in the fiutter OF
silken drapery or the rattle of the roulette.
1t is no laughing matter to postpone race
for f0rty-eight hours when many thousands OF
people are waiting to SEQ 1T, half OF whom
have no beds to sleep in and no clean linen
wherewthal they shall be clothed If 1t shall
appear that the wide expanse OF Saratoga
Lake is more liable TO severe disturbance from
the action of the wind than the surface OF the
sheltered rivers of New England, 1t Is prob
able that the first general regatta on thiS
capricious sheet of water will be Also
the last. These two successive failures are
an event hitherto unknown in boating annals.
Of the tired, hungry, and rumpled thousands
who waited so patiently for two days to see
there will be a considerable number short
sighted and unreasonable enough to protest
against the management of the Regatta rather
than the elements, as the cause OF their dlsap-
pointment. 1t remains to be seen whether
their complaints will serve to advertise or dis
credit the collegiate games.
1t is as yet difficult to apportion the blame
according to strict justice. There Is unfor-
tunatey no question as TO the harm done
The prospects OF boating in America are
necessarily damaged by the occurrences OF the
last forty eight hours, whether the crews are
blameless or not. This Is point, we repeat,
not clearly decided We should wish to see
some better reason than has yet been pre-
sented why yesterday morning, which was
fine, should have been passed over to wait for
the afternoon, which was foul 1t may be said
that the habit and training Of the crews were
directed toward an afternoon race; but when
the race had failed once on account OF the
weather, 1t would have seemed natural that
the earliest available hour should have been
selected. This would have been equally fair
for ALL even if the average time should
have been little more than usual. There
has for long time been tendency IN
college crews to fix too late an hour for their
races, and then to start long after the hour
fixed. The result of this last year was to
bring the boats to the finish in the darkness.
and thus to raise a disagreeable question about
the result. If race is fixed for the late after
noon and any delay occurs, a day is lost If
the time designated were IN the morning, the
day would be all in the hands of the manage
ment to retrieve all errors and accidents. A
little common sense might be as valuable III
regatta as anywhere else.

expedition of African discovery. under the
command of Mr.. Henry VI. Stanley. Ths
purpose of the enterprise Is to complete the
work left unfinished by the lamented death
Of DR.. Livingstone to solve, if possible, III,
remaining problems of the geography Of
Central Africa; and to investigate and report
upon the haunts of the slave-traders. FOr

New-York tribune., 1874-07-18

To the country at large the most decided
interest felt in the Missouri campaign will
be aroused by the question whether 1t is to
result in the National calamity of remanding
Senator Schurz to private life. The very clear
analysis of the political situation in that state,
printed on the third page of thisl morning.
TRIBUNE, would seem to show that to Mis-
sourans themselves the Senatorial aspect of
the campaign has as yet attracted little notice.
Parties lie in chaos, the only organization that
appears perfectly clear about what it wants
being the good Old-fashiOned rebel Democracy
In a lf-blind, cropping way peoples move
ment, which is In one aspect revolt against
party domination on both sides, and in an
other an effort to meet the popular demand for
reform, seems to be working into a position
that may command success. In Wisconsin, as
the letter on the same page shows, politics
turn largely upon Mr.. Carpenter and his
party associates very much wish they didn't
