TIE CdUCTS SYSTEM Nv MAINE

The discussion of the uses and limitations
and abuses of the caucus. which the candidacy
of Senator Hamlin for reelection in Maine
gave rise to, is continued In the columns of
the State press. An article in The Rennebec
Journal, formerly edited by Speaker Blaine,
and it is fair to presume still under the infu-
ence of that gentleman, presents the argument
in behalf of the caucus and its binding force
upon individual members of the party quite
temperately and plausibly. The caucus, it
says. is simply a necessity not only in pOlii-
"cal organizations but in all other associations
"where division of sentiment arises, and where
"those thinking alike wish to consolidate their
"strength and make it effective" The choice
of Presidential candidates is cited as the best
illustration of the uses and the necessity for
the system. the National Convention being a
"caucus on q large SCALE" "born of an indefl-
mite series of caucusesr The custom of put
ting forward candidates for United States
Senator by Legislative caucuses Of the dOmi-
nant party, it is urged is an immemOrial one,
and could not be dispensed with. The limlta-
tiOn of the caucus is put "whero the end is
"carried by unfair and corrupt MEANS or where
"the nominee is a corrupt and unfit man.
IL .DrnSQn-
tation of the argument in favor of the caucus.
1t does not descend to the low ground of its
necessity to the party rs means purely of
party discipline and of perpetuating it in
power. 1t Omits the usual nonsense about the
party being like an army going into battle,
and the necessity for perfect subordination
and united front, and treats the system sim.
ply as method of arriving at an agreement
upon representative of certain principles by
those who believe in those principles and are
striving to make them effective. And this ia
all very well. SO long as the caucus was used
for that purpose it was not Objectionable in
its processes or its results. AS means of
reaching an agreement upon matters wherein
the differences were minor and unmportant
in order to have organized and harmonious
action with reference to the questions which
were engrossing and important, il was useful
1t answered a wise and convenient purpose so
But when it came to be held as tho suprcme

MIR. FERNANDO WOODS VIEWS.

1t seems quite clear that Mr.. Fernando Wood
aims to be the counterpart in his own party
Of Mr.. Butler in the Administration party.
His notions of political morality, of the func-
tions of parties, the policy of the Government
and the relations of public men to their par
ties and to the people, do not differ materially
from those of Mr.. Butler, and he discloses
them with equal frankness. In recent con-
versation Mr.. Wood has given his views re-
garding the Speakership of the next Congress
In them We may find also his theory as to the
policy of the party, and his ideas regarding
its leadership. II do not care" he says, "what
the antecedents of candidate Qor Speaker
"may be. l don't care whether such q man
drinks whisky, plays poker, or pockets his
"back pay. If he can take the party through
tho next Congress and can keep down the
Opposition by developing all their msdeeds,
and keep the standard Of his own party
high, he will have my support most heartily
Plainly enough, MIR. Woods theory here
summarized Is n theory of politics, not of gov
ernment 1t is the party that is to be brought
through, not tho country to be served. OF
course the interests Of the country are to be
considered; as he remarks quite incidentally.
the standard OF the party is to be kept high,
and to do that would of course promote the
general welfare; but it will be noted that this
is entirely subordinate to considerations of
party success. keep down the opposition
says Mr.. Wood, "by developing their mis-
deeds" Not by q wise and honest admins
tration; not by prudent and statesmaalike
legislation; not by positive and thorough re-
forms; but simply by pointing to the
misdeeds of the opposition. What sort
OF wisdom is this in leader! What sort
OF policy for party! This is Mr.. Butler
with now name developing the misdeeds of
the opposition! Does not Mr.. Wood know
that this is precisely what the Administration
party has done for the past six years, and
that the People have said in the late elections
that there has beon enough and altogether too
much OF it'll The Administration party has
been overthrown, because among other rea.
sons 1t depended for political capital upon the
misdeeds OF the opposition. Does Mr.. Wood
suppose the American people arc such scandal
mongers as to lot all their politics turn upon
tho development Of mi7'reds, OF suoh fools A.

IIIE HT1R GdZERS QUEST.

Seven centuries have passed since the era
when the civilized States of Europe, under the
influence Of O sublime enthusiasm, combined
in expeditons TO the Orient, frausht VITA
hardship and peril All ChristendOm has
again united at the present day in sending
forth expeditions to further and less civil
lied East than was sought by Godfrey Dc
Bouillon or Richard Of the Lion Heart. TheN,
the pale light of the crescent hOvering over
Jerusalem, was the center around which the
nations gathered; now, it Is the twilight star.
suspended against the sun, shining over the
isles of the Pacific and the borders of far
Cathay; that attracts them. The crusade Of
the middle ages was inspired by religion;
that of the nineteenth century Is animated sy
science.
On the night of next Tuesday, which will
be daylight in the Eastern hemisphere, there
will be pointed at the sun more than fifty
telescopes from widely separated points on the
Asiatic coast, from little specks of islands in
the Southern Pacific, from obscure hamets in
Siberia unknown to the makers of aliases.
At each of these stations a corps Of men
eminent in the science Of the stars, or well
practiccd in its arduous details, has for sew
means of costly instruments aud frequent OBJ
servatiOns the exa t position OF some insig-
nifcant place on the eartIs surface. Their
labors will all eliminate in the few hours OF
observation that they will have in the day
light of our Tuesday night. When these men
of science have expended so much OF their
time, and not little money, and the busi-
ness is finished, what have they done
What did they hope for, and what
is the result Their reply will be simply and
solely, "We have ascertaned more accurately
" than before the distance of the sun from the
"earth. This is all.r How much other knowl-
edge depends upon this how the observations
on the transit are to be used; what the
methods and intentions are, will be found very
fully related in other columns of tO-day's
TRIBUNE. An effort has bee1 made to explain
these matters without technical detail, and in
words that are familiar The statement Of
Delisle's method is notably simple, and, it is
hoped, will make every reader with IN average
schoobOy's knowledge of figures to cOmpre-
hend one mode by which the transit is used
to ascertain the distance of the sun.
While the utilitarian may grumble over the
loss of time and money, when ne learns thas
none of what he calls "practiclp results is
to be attained by the observations of tho
transit of Venus, it is from u larger point Of
view a matter for great cOngratuiation that
so general and so deep an interest is felt in
the subject. That thirst for knowledge OF
which it is such a remarkable evidence, is the
highest attribute of man. In this case there
is no taint of any uIterior object. The men
who have gone out on this quest, the nations
that have aided it, are not to be made richer
or stronger by its discoveries. But they hope
to be wiser and sharing with them this hope.
let us all wish that they may have fair
weather for observing Venus while she passes
over the flames of the sun.
New-York tribune., 1874-12-05
SERRdNOS VINTER CAMPAIGN.

Marshal SerranO is reported as just starting
from Madrid to rOut once more the thrice
routed Carlist insurrectiOn. He will have
probably about the same experience which
eager English hunters meet with, who come
to this country to shoot the famous mountain
sheep of the Sierra They rarely damage the
sheep, but they always see great quantity of fine
mountain scenery, enjoy some weeks of active
exercise, breathe pure air. and go home with
their ideas of the world more or less enlarged.
There is no reason why the Duke de la Tore
should not have pleasant jaunt among the
hills of the picturesque Basque country. or
pass few days on horseback among the
winding and snow covered roads Of Navarro.
The trip may be of advantage TO him in many
ways, even if he does not succeed i'll bagging
the rebellion. This he will scarcely do. The
army of Don Carlos viii be apt to melt into
o loyal farming population wherever tho Pres
ident passes with his forces and to spring up
into lively bands of guerrllas as soon as he
has gOne by. The rebellion, it is true, has
shown moro signs Of definite weakness this
season than ever before, but there is as yet
no reason for believing that it is ready to
djsband or surrender. Don Alfonso may re-
sign, Gems. Dorregaray and Saballs may throw
up their commissions, but there is no GER
tainty that they will not all be in the field
again next week. Even if they went over to
SerranO, they could scarcely be counted upon,
and if they were killed their places would be
filed as fast as the heads of the hydra were
reproduced. The Carlist war is not one of
the things which anybody can bring to close
until it runs its course.
But there Is suggestion in the telegram
announcing tho intentions Of the President
which shows that public opinion recognizes
another more immediate and pressing danger
to his authority than the Carlist insurrection.
1t is stated that he has taken great care to
weed out of his staff all persons who could be
suspected of leanings toward the restoration
of the Bourbons to the throne. 1t Is undeni-
able that there is more apparent possibility of
the return OF Queen Isabel than there is of
the capture of Madrid by Don Carlos The
former has a strong party, both among the
soldiers and the politicians of Spain and the
latter has no reliance except on fanatical
peasantry and the covert sympathy of Dor
ton Of the priesthood. A successful conn
d'etat or prOnunciamientO might bring back
the Queen, to remain until another one drove
her away again. 1t is therefore extremely
judiciOus for the Duke dc Ia Tore to examine
his staff with care, to see il it contains any
elements capable of being used in the Bourbon
interest against the peace aud dignity of the
Republic.
1t will not, however. be the easiest thing in
the world to do. as 1t will be embarrassing to |
draw the line between 4 SelgAaist and Au |

Isabelino. Tho Marshal himself is not wholly
free from suspicious which are more honorable
to the memory Of his heart than they are to
his political integrity. No one would be
greatly surprised to see the Duke de 10 Tore
embracing once more the cause of the Queen
to whom he was once so intimately devoted,
If the sudden mutations OF politics in Spain
should make it more expedient to share in a
restoration than to struggle for the mainte-
nance of Republic. 1t is by no means certain
that even the Marshal himself is sure OF bis
intentions in all contingencies, and it is highly
improbable that others are aware of them. 10
can we'll be imagined therefore that an inqui-
sition into the views of his military associates
in reference to a possible restoration of the
banished dynasty, would prove severe ordeal
to many officers, who would like to stand
well with Serrano as long as the present state
of things continues, and who would not relish

POLITICAL CH4OS.

The five States of Iowa, Minnesota, Mis-
souri,, Illinois, and Indiana are among the
richest and most fourishing in the Union.
They cover the heart of the Continent, have
population of ten millions, and are asserted
to be the center and focus of the political life
of the United States. We are justified in
looking to them, if anywhere, for the signiii-
cance of the late elections. We have done so
We have read the platforms, carefully studied
the election returns, and endeavored to arrive
at some conclusion as to the significance of
the late voting. We have puzzled over the
matter in vain. We challenge any one
to deduce from the contests in those
States any other moral than political
chaos and the decay of parties. What, in
deed, exists in those States deserving to be
called party3 There is that organization of
the postmasters, Indian agents, pension agents,
revenue officers, and Government contractors,
called the party Of the Administration. The
Administration may be said to have party
according to Swift's definition of one" the
"madness of the many for the gain of the
"few.n But the difficulty is that the few have
become great deal too many, and the many
much too few. The party, in fact, is falling
to pieces on account of this disprOportiOn of
it's parts, like militia company made up of
score of officers and no privates. That such
is the fact we are about to show from the
election returns.
The proper years for comparison of the
vote with that at the election just held are
1866 and 1870. 1t would not be right to ex-
pect as large vote to be pOlled in 1874 as in
year when the President is elected. We
shall take the off year, 1866, that being quiet
year in rather dull times for business. and
nothing of an extraordinary nature existing to
disturbpolitics. Going back eight years, we must
make an allowance for the increase of voters.
We find that from 1860 to 1870 the population
of the five States of Illinois, Indiana. Iowa.
Minnesota. and Missouri increased from
5,O9l,327 to 7.575549, or fifty per cent.
