The contest in Ohio this year has far more
than partisan Importance. a victory for the
imitation platform will be an infatiOnist far
more than Democratic success. 1t will be
an ominOus defeat for the honest and intelli-
gent members of the party, who have hoped
under the lead of men like Tilden and Hen
bricks and Bayard to gain possession OF the
Government next year, and to effect a reform
in national politics. 1t is hardly too much to
say that the election of Mr.. Allen will render
this impossible. The issue was distinctly made
in Ohio. The CuyahOga Democrats put for
ward their platform, which was that
of the better class of the Democracy
throughout the country, and went down
to Columbus with it, supported by the highest
character and talent of the State. They were
easily and completely beaten the Convention
fell into the hands of the rag-mOney men, and
the worst platform of the year was adopted
AS yet, it is possible for the intelligent and
honest Democrats of Ohio to say this was IN
accident, trick Of mana cement. They cannot
say this if Allen is elected. for that would
prove that the infati0nists in the State are
majority. This would give them a redoubtabe
prestige in the National Convention next year.
If Allen is elected by good majority this
Fall, what is to prevent Ohio from going into
Convention next Spring, bearing the ban

TUEEDS ERIC HTENING PROSPECTS,

The order of judge DOnOhuc made yester-
day seems to present the possibility of the fail
IRE of all efforts to obtain from Tweed and
his associates in the great Ring frauds any
restitution whatever of their spOils. OF the
151 bills presented to carry out those frauds,
TO which the formal papers and signatures were
attached so as to make them vouchers on which
warrants were issued, al were stolen one
night after Controller Connolly had promised
to produce them to joint committee OF cti-
zcns and aldermen. Ten only in the name of
Kcyser & Co. were saved by the fact that
Kcvser. having suspected that his name was
being fraudulcntly used, had asked copies OF
the vouchers bearing his name, and they
had been taken by the cOpyists from their
ordinary place. Judge DOnohuc now orders
those stolen bills or copies OF them to be given
TO the defendant with specifications of the por-
tions of them fraudulent or partly fraudulent
and how fraudulent.
How this can be done it is hard TO see. Garyey
cannot reproduce his bills His testimony is
that he made mp most OF them OF imaginary
items. only keeping an account that one
third of each was really due him, though
OF that third large share was due by In
dividual members of the Ring who thus paid
their debts. lngersoll is in much the same
condition. 1t is true that Kcyser has ten bills
on which he can put his finger and declare
them in part or wholly false, and Garvey and
IngeIsol can declare few warrants TO have
been on wholly false claims, but KeyScr's
vouchers are fer but small percentage of the
clair, ind tho knowledge of Garycy that the
bill on which warrant was issued was wholly
false does not supply the positive demand for
the items of that bill which the order of Judge
Donohuc seems to require. That order, it
will be observed, is percmptoly. 1t leaves
no loophole for gcneraiiies. Each bill, its
items, and the bills and items which are
fraudulent must be given, or the suit, so far
a. that warrant is concerned, must DO aban-
doned or the whole suit stopped.

After several days of rather profitless investi-
cation the Legislative Committee who are i'll
curing into the conduct of the Emigration
and Quarantine Commissions have fallen upon
q matter of some consequence. In the CXami-
nation of the agents OF certain transatlantic
steamship companies the fact was elected
that 100000 on mere was expended
by combination of these companies
10 secure reduction of headmOney i'll 1874.
and that large amount was raised. if not ac-
tually expended, to prevent an increase during
the session Of the Legislature last Winter. 1t
was distinctly stated by the witnesses that the
money was raised 10 Influence legislation at
Albany and that it passed through the hands
of Messrs. Nolan, Wakcman, Casscrly and others,
the first named receiving as much as $4,000
or $4,000. When Mr.. Alvord interrupted the
testimony Of Mr.. Williams OF the Williams u
Guion line with the remark that such men
would take $40 from their victims and spend
only 10 cents in Albany, the witness signl-
cantly reioined that lie knew little Of such
"matsels, but the legislation that was
"paid for had been obtained" Gen. Hustled,
however, who was also witness, as
sured the Committee. when he came to
be examined, that he "did not believe any
body spent a dollar" to pass the bill Of
1871. However this may be, the Committee
are right in supposing that their duty re-
nuircs them to GET at the bottom facts i'll the
matter. Some interesting disclosures may be
expected from the checks and other papers
which tlo steamship companies are called
upon to produce tomorrow. If the money did
not reach the Legislature, where did it stop?

More testimony was given by Police gap
tains Yesterday before the Assembly Commit
tee of which Mr.. Il. c. Campbell is Chairman,
as to the obstacles which they encounter III
suppressing gambling houses. Gamblers brought
before Police Justices it was asserted, have
often been discharged, and when the captains
who made the arrests have had good evidence
against the violators of the law, the latter
have been merely held to bail i'll small sums
and never brought TO trial, while the paper, i'll
such cases have not reached the DlStrict-Attor-
ney's office. Capt. Byrne gave list OF futile
arrests, which is instructive but nor palata5lc
reading There can DC 10 doubt that political
influence has often been potent TO shield the
proprietOrs OF gambling hells both with Police
Justices and Police Captains, and until the
selection of captains and justices is taken out
of the sink of corrupt political manipulatons
thorough and lasting reform is not to be hoped
for

Among the romantic stories drifting through the
press concerning the Tammany Ring there IL one re-
latng to one of its fallen chiefs that has an insrnc
tive trait. 1t is the life history of his wife. 1t is
easy to pardon the allusion to this adroit manp-
ulator A. IA great politician" and the hope that ii
she should return she might do much toward re-
storing the old bond of sympathy between the
members of the company of which she was once the
r,igning QUEEN" but forbearance ceases TO be Il
virtue when the doSertion by this lady of her first
husbands home for that of an Italian lover is re-
ferred 10 ~ a slip from the honelier republican
IDEAS to which she lad been bred and her crime is
described as &" her fault and folly" The American
people have yet TO learn that crime is nothing more
than folly, aud, unfortunately, are too we'll aware
that sin OF this description is not solely a mon
archical institution.

Russia. which initiated the Brussels Confer
ence for the purpose of alleyiating the horrors
of war, now intimates that she is willing to
. have it's proceedings regarded as ended. This
is diplomatic triumph for the British For

the Cars pet project with disfavor, and has
been the principal obstacle 10 its success.

The proposed annual rife contest for the
championship of the world viii no doubt be
regarded favorably in the United States, as it
would give our marksmen an opportunity OF
acquiring still greater distinction. 1t is not
desirable, however, to have the contest an
nually at Wimbledon while this and other
countries are willing to welcome the competi-
tors TO their ranges. Allows all things Ameri-
can rihemen would rejoice in an opportunity

Every day we have some new evidence of the
sincerity of the South in the desire expressed
by Gen. Fitzhugh Lee and others at the
Bunker Hill celebration for a restoration Of
complete fraternity between the once cstranged
sections of the country. OF late South Caro-
lima has taken the lead i'll manifestations OF
zeal in this direction. The proposition now
made by the Washington Light In
fantry of Charleston that Centennial
Legion composed of military organizations
from the original Thirteen States of the Union
shall he organized as feature OF the great
celebration in Philadelphia next year is a
happy conception, and we have no doubt that
it will receive, as it should, hearty responses
of approval and cooperation from all of " the
cold Thirteen" The only trouble likely to
arise is from contention as to what companies
shah compose the military division thus to be
made conspicuous.

Secretary Delano evidently wants to reform jour
nalism as well rs the Interior Department from the
inside. How else can we account for the Associated
Press dispatch printed in yesterdays papers, stating
that certain parties whose claims have been re-
jected by Secretary Delano are among those who
organized and have persisted in the recent attacks
upon him through the medium of tho press, with the
design OF driving the Secretary from the Cabinet,
and securing a successor who would be more fayorl-
bic to their interestsw Is Delano going to turn
iconoclasti And shall we Prof. Marsh pilloried

In Louisiana reform moves slowly. For years
we have been hearing about the frauds Ill the
Auditors Office and of measures to bring the
perpetrators to justice and yet nothing has
been done to that end by the Courts. GOV.
Kellogg now gives the Attorney General
pretty explicit reminder OF ms duty
in view of the facts recently ascertaIncd by
experts. For once Louisiana may look to
South Carolina for encouragement. The vcr-
diet against ex-1rcasurer Parker, rendered at
Columbia on Monday, shows that official plum
derers may be reached at last by persistent
demands for justice, even in the face OF the
most adverse circumstances.

The attitude of the Republicans and the
Royalists in the French National Assembly on
the question of dissolution, is described in the
letter of our Paris correspondent on another
page. Il is shown that the former are striving
to hasten general election, while the latter
are endeavoring to defer it in the hope OF
some contingency arising which would advance
their interests. The Royalsts seem likely to
have their way, as the Committee of the AS
semby reported yesterday i'll favor of recess
from August to November. This would render
it practically impossible to elect new Assem-
bly, this year.

EARLY COURT INCIDENTS.

Yesterday was the twenty-frst day of the trial.
and the events which marked it were of unusual
importance. The expected decision of Judge Nell
son as to the plaintiffs competency crowded the
courtroom to an uncomfortable degree, and the
space allotted TO the counsel was encroached upon
seriously. There were more wel-known faces
in the audience than have been seen before on any
one day during the trial, and all the persons
directly interested in the controversy, except
Mr. Moulton, were present. Mr. and Mrs.
Beecher and their youngest son were IN
their seats before the beginning of proceedings
and the Plymouth Church delegation, larger than
usual surrounded the family group. Mr.. Beecher
bowed slightly TO Mrs. Titon, who with Mrs. Field,
Mrs. OvingtOn. Mrs. Shearman and another lady
arrived about the time of opening and were present
during the entire day Mr. 1ltOn entered the court
room late and alone as usual Mr. Evarts and Mr..
Sheaman came among the first and exchanged the
usual morning cOurtesies with the jurymen. who
were already in their places Mr. Tracy, Mr. Pryor
and Mr.. Pearsal were absent all day. Among other
persons present were ex-District-Attorney Rodman'
Alderman Zindcl, Moses A. Beach, Gen. Jadson XII
patrick, and Assistant District Attorney Moore.
Judge Moore sat upon the bench beside Judge
Nelson part OF the day.
