The Atomic Theory.

The essays Of N. Papillon in opposition to
the atomic theory 50 long upheld by chemists
as the foundation Of nature and life are just
now attracting great attention among scientific
writers. These views OF ". Papillon and the
opinion Of NJ Berthelot, who, as early as
1864, declared that the atoms Of simple bodies
might be composed Of one and the same mat
ter, are set forth as if they we're confined to
the French school Ct philosophy and worthy
Of the most serious attention. Now. the truth
is that On American savant enumerated this
theory before the Frenchmen ever thought OF
il, and was very heartily laughed at by his
associates in the American Association for the
Advancement Of Science for his boldness.
The hypothesis Of Papillon and the others
was first set forth in paper on
the "Paradoxes Of the Atomic Theory Of
Chemists BY Clinton Roosevelt, read before
the American Association in August, 1860,
and reported exclusively in the HERALD at the
time In this paper Dir Roosevelt denied tho
existence Of tie sixty odd elements or kinds
Of atoms, as claimed BY chemists, and de-
clared that he was for repelling the atomic
theory altogether. After summing up the
hypothesis Of this advanced philosopher the
reporter Of the HERALD observed that Mr..
Roosevelfs paper was very long, but did not
seem to meet with much favor Now, how
ever, the stone which the builders rejected
has become the head Of the corner We only
refer to this matter a. the present time 10
show that among scientific men the absurdities
Of one decade become the truths Of the next,
end that the savant who Is laughed at to-day
~ the whole Academy Of Sciences may see
tie credit 81 his discoveries cooiiy appro-
priatsd tomorrow by some other philosopher
amid the applause Of his scientific brethren.

The Attachment OF swccny's Prop
erty.

Ingersoll's affidavit, involving Peter B.
Sweeny and his brother, James NJ. Sweeny,
as sharers in the dishonest booty OF the Ring,
is likely to bear immediate fruit in attempts
to recover the plumber. Attorney General
Pratt has filed notices Of attachment against
the property Of both the brothers Sweeny,
in contemplation OF an action in which
SUN Of sL132, 598. list OF the pieces
Of property to be attached us peadeas
will be found in our news columns,
consisting Of twelve parcels Of valuable real
estate assumed to belong to Peter b. Sweeny
and four belonging 70 James NJ. Sweeny. The
managers OF the prosecution have no doubt
that this property is liable for the satisfaction
Of the judgment they expect to obtain. Of
course such a mass OF property will not be
surrendered without struggle, and the suits
will produce great crop of fees for lawyers,
even il they should result in nothing else.
It IS alleged by those who are most active
in bringing these suits that it has been Swee-
nys purpose to take advantage Of the statute
OF limitations. IL has been for some time in
foreign country, and, according to the
statute, time passed abroad for the purpose Of
escaping justice does not count as a part
Of the six years. The prosecutors allege
that Sweeny has been back ct least once,
and perhaps more than once with q
view to give proofs Of his continued resi-
dence and protect himself against the
operation of that part of the statute
to which We have just alluded. But
even II the time runs on continuously
he Is liable for all the entertainments since
1869, and the most gainful frauds Of the
Ring were perpetrated subsequent to that
date. Let the axe Of justice fall Those
members Of the Ring who have aed from the

commended from the beginning that the ira
dition against third term was as much o
part of the constitution as the tradition
criticism upon President Grant and his party
is that they have never yet admitted this to be
true-they have despised the tradition as
mere partisan expedient. We have commended
that any attempt to violate it would be an
act of moral treason against the Republic and
obtain from the President on this point is
that when he took the Office ne did not want
it; that circumstances might arise when ne
would be compelled to take it again. but just
now he is perfectly indifferent and Will GER
tainly not decline Q nomination until 1t Is
offered to him. But if he chose to accept it
he has the full right SO to do.
II we do the President injustice in thus
reading his letter we regret it There is
another fact also of cogent character that
must not be overlooked. President Grant is
to-day the strongest man in his party. 1t is
foolish for politicians, in making their calcu-
lations, to count the President as cipher;
and it is this folly that underlies much Of the
republican opposition to the third term Iii
unjust for republican politicians to ask the
independent press of the country to break
down the President and get him out of their
way-to do what they are too weak and timld
TO do themselves. We have no doubt that
Blaine and Conkling and Morton and Wilson
and Boutwell, and Washburne would all re-
joice if it were in the power Of the indepen-
dent press to tumble General Grant, C8sarism
and his whole Cabinet into one grave
and heap millions of acres upon them.
What complexities this discussion and
gives the utterances of the President so much
power is that General Grant is to-day, speak
ing of him simply as q politician, the most
available Presidential candidate the republi-
can party contains. We do not know any
leader who, stained as Grant is with
errors of administration, would begin
to poll as strong vote within the
party, or who would command as much
respect out of it. 1t is this that gives
the real danger to the third term. 1t is this
that embarrasses the calculations of poll
ticians and renders it impossible to make any
definite, successful plan. 1t is this that leads
us to say further that the only legitimate end
in this discussion is the adoption of a one
term amendment to the constitution. Let
that be accomplished and there will be an
end to Casarism. 1t cannot be done by tame
resolutions in Pennsylvania and Ohio, nor by
ignoring the real power and popularity Of
General Grant. Every democratic conven-
ton and every republican convention should
speak with no uncertain sound, and say that
the genius of our institutions demands that
there should be no reelected President. Give
us one term. There is our safety. 1t is more
and more apparent every day. IT We had
adopted such an amendment in obedience to
the wishes of Henry Clay and his school we
should not now be sparring with executive
power and listening anxiously and eagerly try
ing to comprehend the half-expressed oracles
Of the Washington Sphinx.

BUNKER HnL-The next date Of conse-
quence in the list Of centennial anniversaries
is the date Of that memorable conflict in
which the British troops sailed from Boston
to storm redoubt in the lines Of the be-
siegors, which redoubt, If held by the patri-
OTIS, must have made the city Immediately
untenablo to the troops. That battle came in
such relation TO the Concord fight as to prove
to the world that the names Of Concord and
Lexington were not to drop into insignif-
canoe as the scenes OF merely accidentally
and inconsequent collisions Of an armed
force with an irrtatcd people, but were to
stand forever as preludes to the series Of I'M
equal struggles that we're to lead to the in

Responsibility IN AsyIums.

1t has at last happened in this community
that man has been sentenced to imprison-
ment for term Of years for an outrage COM
mitted upon person subject to his care in a
public institution. In this case the public
can sympathize with that afflicted woman
whose husband rejoiced that she had at last
found man under the bed, inasmuch as she
had looked for one there every night for
seven years. Our people have waited pa
tiently q great many more than seven years
for the experience that has come at last. Not
a year, scarcely a month, goes by but we are
called upon to chronicle outrages in the pub
lie institutions In the hospitals, the prisons
the station houses, the lunatic asylums, men
and women and children are constantly sub
jected to the fury Of attendants, never chosen
with regard to their fitness for the duties they
are to perform, and the victims are often
manned and not infrequently killed, as was
the lunatic for whose murder his keeper has
Just been tried and sentenced. One case of
this sort, in view Of so many in which keepers
like the one now convicted have been assisted
to slip through the fingers Of justice, scarcely
warrants a hope that We have come upon
better practices; but We naturally trust that
this good result is not merely an accident. If
we are to see the regular punishment Of peo-
pie who abuse tho wretched creatures COM
mitted 70 their care in our asylums it will DO
q reform full Of humanity, and reform that
we trust may especially be extended and APP
piled in the police force.

Relltgerent Miners.

The troubles in the coal regions are by no
means at an end. The fight, which is re-
ported in another column, shows that the
men on strike are prepared to use violence in
order to secure the triumph of their views.
1t was hoped that the good sense of
the men would have prevented them
coming in conflict with the law, but
they have shown by their conduct yesterday
that the strong hand of authority must be
used to preserve the peace and secure the
right to labor for those who do not share
the views of the strikers. Whatever SYM
pathy may be felt by the general public with
the workingman in his struggle against the
oppression of capital it will never 60 the
length of countenancing interference with
the rights of individuals. No one
will deny to the workingman tho
right of refusing to work at a rate of wages
he may deem unfair, but when he goes step
farther and attempts to prevent, by violence
and intimidation, other men from working OF
the rate he refuses public opinion will decide
against such an unwarranted outrage in no
hesitating spirit. The authorities have taken
prompt action to preserve the peace, and
should the riotous workmen attempt to carry
out their threats of further violence they will,
no doubt receive severe but merited lesson,

The Cuban Question In Europe

The Cuban Question In Europe.
There was a grim humor in the reply made
by Lord Derby to the deputation of the Anti
Slavery Society which called on His Lordship
to urge that the British government should
intervene as mediator IN the Cuban struggle.
He said the time was not opportune-a phrase
His Lordship may have familiarized himself
with. by reading the Washington utter
ances on the same question. 1t is
rather curious that he bases his argu-
ment wholly upon Spanish constituencies. He
does not attempt to deny that in the interest
of humanity something ought to be done to
stop the useless slaughter that has been going
on for more than six years in Cuba. Nor can
he give any hope that Spain will be able to
crush the instruction until Carlism has been
finally suppressed. Just now this appears o
rather remote contingency. If the Cuban
war is to go on until Carlism has been utterly
crushed then the Cuban instruction has
long lease of life. 1t may be quite true that
this country has abandoned all intention Of
annexing Cuba and, no doubt, British states
men would rather see that beautiful island
reduced to the condition OF st. Domingo than
that it should belong to the Union. Still, hu-
mainly has some claim even on statesmen.
1t may be that the people Of this country will
get tired waiting for the suppression of Carl
ism, and may take such measures as would
render the holding Of Cuba task altogether
beyond the power of Spain, even were the
Carlists quite suppressed. There can be no
longer any question as to the issue of ths
struggle now going on at our doors.
Had it been possible to suppress the
instruction it would have been done
long ago, but its vitality is too
great to give Spain any hope of ever
reasserting her past dominion over the island.
1t would, therefore, be an act of real friend
ship for some Power which could intervene
without exposing its motives to suspicion to
make an effort TO restore peace. Cuba, even
now, would be willing to pay Spain large
indemnity if she would abandon her preten-
sions to sovereignty over the island.
