The Regatta To-Day.

The regatta to-day for Commodore Kane's
cups promises to be one Of the most spirited
and interesting events of the yachting season
of 1875. There are likely to be fourteen
competitors for the prizes, and the yachts
entered include some of the fastest and
finest in the United States. A glance at the
list will satisfy every one that there is to be
a lively and well contested race, and that
the winner will be entitled to boast of a
brilliant victory. In the first class schooners
we have such famous boats as the Mohawk,
the Alarm, the Palmer the Resolute, the
Atalanta and the Idler. Among the second
class schooners that will spread their canvas
to the wind are the Estelle the Comet,
the Clio and the Peerless. Then we
have those swift first and second class
sloops, the Vindex, Addie and Vision, and
the Active, Sadie, Madcap and Breeze, while
for the challenge cup for sloops the Vision
and Madcap are to contend. There must be
an exciting race if the weather should be
fair and the wind favorable, and the attend
ance will no doubt be large. The yachtsmen
of the world may well look with interest on
a contest in which so large q number of first
class vessels are to compete so late in
the season, and the spirit which insures
SO brilliant q rendezvous cannot fail to be
duly appreciated. The arrangements have
been admirably conducted, and nothing can
be wanted to make the Kane Regatta one of
the most prominent events of the present
season save pleasant day and spanking

The Eclipse OF tho Sun.

If one of the fabled inhabitants of tho
moon could have gazed through powerful
telescope at our earth about sunrise yester-
day he would have beheld the Atlantic seas
cleaning like crystal in the solar rays, the
coasts of Europe and Africa sinking into
night and the Atlantic shore sparkling with
the glow of dawn, wheeling eastward into
view. Across the surface of the glitter
ing earth q black circular spot might have
been Seen to glide slowly from North
America to Southern Africa. This phe-
nomenon was the moons shadow sweeping
over the earth and shutting out the sunbeams
from all the places in its track. Could the
same lunar astronomer have penetrated
the clouds overhanging the Eastern
States an army of scientific men
would havr been unfolded to his view,
with uplifted telescopes, peering eagerly to-
ward himself These were our American
astronomers, who endeavored yesterday to
scan the celestial wonder in the interests Of
science and civilization Every scientific
observation of total or an annular solar
eclipse not only tends to ennoble the human
intellect by unveiling the mysteries of the
universe, but also results in vast material ben
efits to the world of commerce and navigation.
1t is through such observations that we ap-
proach perfection in the lunar tables and
astronomical science which are the guide of
the mariner over trackless oceans. 1t is
hence to be regretted that the efforts of
American science to scrutinize the eclipse of
yesterday were unsuccessful in consequence
of the state of the weather. Neverthe-
less, such endeavors on the part of our
learned men cannot be deemed wholly fruit
less. They lead to improvements in scien-
tifc handicraft and bring within the
grasp of the popular mind problems
hitherto misunderstood. Our ancestors
of old beheld in the solar and
the lunar eclipse the handiwork of an infu-
rated god The planets which strobe across
the universe We're gods roaming the fields Of
heaven, and the comets were evil spirits,
bearing destruction to kings and peoples
The scientist of to-day subjects those com
plex and wondrous phenomena to the opera
ton of few simple but inexorable laws
The light Of truth and progress dissolves the
monstrous theories of darker days and pre-
pares the human intellect for the reception
of those high and ennobling revelations OF
the works of tho universe which it is the
glory of astronomy to unfold.

MIR. pelano,s Successor.

There has been general rumor that the
President will fill the vacancy occasioned by
the resignation of Mr.. Delano by appointing
Pennsylvania to the Cabinet, and now q
special report assigns that honor to Mr.. G..
Dawson Coleman, of Philadelphia. The re-
publican party in Pennsylvania have long
complained that they were not recognized
by the administration in the distribution of
high Offices. Pennsylvania has supported
the republican party with a consistency
shown by few other States, and its majority
for Grant at the last election was something
incredible. Yet, Notwithstanding this and
the fact that Pennsylvania is the second
State in the Union in Importance and wealth,
it has not been found worthy Of a
representative in the councils Of the
President. During Lincoln's administration
there were many complaints by the poll
hcians, especially Of the preference which
Mr.. Lincoln showed for Ohio over Pennsyl-
vania For a long time Ohio had two Minis
ters-Chase and Stanton-while to Pennsyl-
vania was given the brief administration of
Secretary Cameron. There has been no
Pennsylvania in the Cabinet since Mr..
Cameron retired in 1862 unless we may so
credit Mr.. Stanton. Pennsylvania politicians
during Lincolns time always resented this
credit, and we think with justice. Practi-
cally, therefore, there has been no Pennsyl-
vanian in the Cabinet since 1862, except dur
ing the brief tenure of Mr.. Borie. We
never much believed that President should
appoint his Cabinet officers from sections.
1t is the man and not the section we want.
When the President can just as we'll as not
select his Cabinet from the various sections
he will find his government strengthened.
The new Minister might well be taken
from the South or the Pacific coast. Mr..
Bristow can hardly be called Southern
man, and with his exception We have no rep
resentative of that great section in the Cabi-
net If Mr.. Bristow should be considered
as enough for the South then it might be well
to take Mr.. Delano's successor from the
Pacific coast. That section is rapidly
approaching imperial proportions. 1t
is growing in wealth and influence.
The President would do we'll to have at his
side o statesman from the Pacific. This
would even be better appointment than
from Pennsylvania The only interest to be
served by appointing a Pennsylvania is po-
litical. That of Californian would be ma
tional
The New York herald., 1875-09-30

Pennsylvania If these men were in New
York they would, no doubt feel that
their proper place was at the side of
Governor Tilden, just as Mr.. Bigelow felt
when he declined the nomination of the re-
publicans, to whom he owed all the political
distinction he had ever received, to accept
that of the democracy, and in doing SO give
the Governor a strenuous support.
Altogether the position is full of interest
and embarrassment. The success of the in
fation movement in Ohio cannot be under
estimated It means the control of the next
Democratic Convention by the friends of rag
money and repudiation. 1t means that the
inhationists will send delegation to the
Democratic Convention and probably find
admission. 1t means that there is no
room in the democracy for Tilden and
CASTOR and Bayard, and they must follow
the path taken by Schurz and Grosvenor
and Grow and Adams. 1t does not follow
necessarily, that they must follow that path
into the republican ranks or to the support
of the administration. That is an alternative
which no democrat and very few patriotic
republicans would care to contemplate. We
see growing up in both parties, republican
and democratic, belief that the questions
to be decided at the next canvass for the
Presidency are of more consequence than
any considerations of Office or expediency or
patronage. The strong men in the situation
at present are Grant and Tilden. It may
be necessary for the President of the United
States and the Governor of New York to take
hands in defence of the nations integrity, as,
ten years ago, they took hands in defence of
the Union.

O'BaIdwin's End.

Another Of those gentlemen of muscular
development who live on their reputation as
bruisers has passed away from earth, fgura-
lively speaking with his boots on and with
a couple of ounces of lead in his inside.
O'Baldwin, the Irish giant, whose 'arin was
as big as another mans thigh" and whose
brawny fist could fell an OK rs easily as it could
be done with poleaxe, died yesterday morn
ing from the effect of pistol shot wounds, in
ficted by the hand of one of his own breed,
who had been his ''pardner" in business.
In the good old days of Tammany's ascen-
dancy mon like O'Baldwin could hold high
their bullet heads and their broken noses
and lord it in the first POLITICAL circles
of the city. Everybody remembers
how they might be seen any bright,
sunny afternoon, lounging on the Broadway
corners opposite the City Hall Park or hang
ing about the steps of the public buildings,
receiving kindly recognition from the
'bosses" and homage from the less infuen-
tial adherents of the "Ring." Since the old
leaders passed away to the seclusion Of
prison cells or sought recreation in foreign
lands, the crop-haired heroes have been
driven TO seek living in other ways than
from the city payrolls. Some Of them nat
urally took to the liquor business, and
OBaldwin was one of these. Finding the
sale of rum less profitable than he desired
he signifed his intention of retiring from
the concern whereupon his associate chose
his own method Of dissolving the firm, and
so drew arevolver and put couple of bull
lets into his dissatisfied partner
1t is probably good thing for the public
that these characters so frequently and so
etfectually dispose of each other. O'Baldwin
was young man. Judging by his past
career we may fairly congratulate ourselves
that the city is thus speedily rid of him,
although in the interests of justice the manner
of his end may be deplored. Now and then
the bullet finds useful mark and if the
gallows can do its part and put O'Baldwins
murderer out of the way we shall be happily
relieved of two undesirable citizens by one
event
The New York herald., 1875-09-30

CAN RAG BADY GRow ?-These Pennsyl-
vania democrats still stick to their traditions
with great obstinacy Here is Senator Wal
lace, speaking for the Erie platform, and
telling the people that, though hard money
is the best, we must reach it through still
greater imitation ofirredeemablep OF money.
He evidently had in mind the old saying OF
President Buchanan that no State had right
to secede, but that nobody had any right to
prevent its secession. The notion that rag
baby can ever grow up into healthy and
respectable human being might find favor in
q nursery or a kindergarten but hardly
among farmers and other sensible people

Woodford and Ewing.

The Ohio canvass is to be enlivened by O
series of political debates, in which General
Woodford, of this State, and General Ewing,
of Ohio will meet each other ON the same
platform and speak alternately. Last week
Mr.. Woodford challenged Mr.. Carey, the
democratic candidate for Lieutenant Gov
ernor, to a joint discussion, but the latter
thought fit to decline. Mr.. Ewing, leading
inAationist, and a man of much ability has
since challenged Mr.. Woodford, who
promptly accepts, and the arrangements for
the debate have been completed. The
first of series of eight meetings will take
place this evening at Shawnee, Mr.. Wood
ford opening and closing the debate at
this place. General Woodford has long
coveted an opportunity to meet political
opponent face TO face on the stump. He
challenged Governor Hoffman when they
were competing candidates for gubernatorial
honors in 1870, but Mr.. Hoffman disdained
to crafty him. Mr.. Woodford has
at last found an antagonist will
ing to meet him whose talents are
sufficient to test his powers as q
debater. General Woodford is a ready
speaker and he has the great advantage of
being on the right side of the question but
all that can be said on the imitation side will
be forcibly presented by Mr.. Ewing, and it
will be quite feather in Mr. Woodfords cap
if he foils so capable an antagonist.
In the last generation such joint discus
sions we're quite common in the South, but
they took place only between men who were
opposing candidates for the same Office
There was similar face-to-face contest in
Illinois in 1858. between Stephen A. Douglas
and Abraham Lincoln, when both were can
didates for the United States Senate before
the Legislature then to be chosen. That
debate was one of signal ability. 1t gave Mr.
Lincoln the national reputation which led to
his nomination for the Presidency two years
later. But, except between candidates run
ming for the same Office and as affording q
measure of their comparative fitness, this
method of discussion has little TO recommend
it, 1t is not probable that Mr.. Schurz would
deign to speak in this manner even against
Governor Allen, although he could not doubt
! an easy victory.
