Mr.. Blaine is sufficiently recovered from
his railroad accident to take the stump in
Maine, and will deliver several speeches this
week. He is one of the ablest of the repub-
lican leaders, and he has an excellent oppor-
tunity, addressing people who have I'M
wavering confidence in him, to speak his
mind freely on the questions of the day. 1t
is very justly said that the Presidential cam
paign is fought this year in the State cleo
tons. The people everywhere are anxious
about the condition of the country, and are
less attentive to local than to federal ques-
tions. We hope Mr.. Blaine will not miss
the present occasion to give the country at
large the benefit of his views on the financial
and the Southern difficulties. He is man
of thorough information and of pronounced
views, which he is little shy of expressing;
but the time has now come when silence is o
blunder for one in his position, and when he
must speak out his sentiments and beliefs
clearly, or fall from the high rank he has
long occupied as leading statesman and
take second or third rate place. 1t has
become q fixed habit with too many of our
public men to play bo-peep with the people;
just now this is out of place. The use of
political leaders is to educate the people in
their public addresses, to instruct them in
the leading questions of the day, and not to
play "heads | win, tails you lose" with the
politics of the country. Everybody wants to
know what republican like Mr.. Blaine
thinks of specie resumption and of imitation;
what he thinks of the Southern policy which
has done so much to ruin his party; what he
thinks of ''the best civil service on this
planet" Mr.. Delano and the Indian Bureau
included. About all these questions man
like Mr.. Blaine can speak without ifs or butts
if he will, and he will be surprised to find
how good he feels when he has once fully
and freely unburdened his mind.

Those Poor English.

In one respect the English are the most
unfortunate people in the world. With the
utmost desire to live at home at ease and
to keep their fingers out of everybody else'a
business, they are constantly compelled to
interfere on different parts of our planet, to
keep or set things straight and to add to
their troubles, this interference every few
years necessitates the annexation of a new
piece of territory to the British Crown"
There are people wicked enough to say
that John Bull is land hungry, and we re-
member ridiculous tale of a gallant British
Admiral, who, when the volcanic island Of
Stromboli arose out of the Mediterranean in
his sight, sent boats crew alongside of it
to hoist the British flag over it ''as soon as it
should cool" But we do not encourage such
stories about our cousins. They are prob
ably invented by Bismarck, who is known as
a reckless joker.
For our own part we offer our sympathies
with the English, who, it seems, find it abso-
lutely necessary just now to annex Burmah.
They have given up with such good grace
of late, first the island of San Juan, on our
northwestern coast, ana later Dela8Oa bay,
on the eastern coast of Africa, that it seems
pitiful to find them already under the I'M
welcome necessity of annexing about fifty
times as much as they have lately got rid Of
1t seems that an Englishman has been MUIR
dered in Burmah it is suspected that the
Chinese government instigated the murder.
Chinese emissaries are said to be controlling
or influencing that singular potentate
the King of Burmah, whose thin var
nish of civilization has for some years
made him an oddity among mon
archs The Chinese, we read, appear to have
q foreign policy; and a new war with China
is suddenly threatened, with q necessary
capture of Burmah as q base of operations
Well, let them fight. 1t does not concern
u.s. On this side of the Atlantic we love the
arts of peace and we advise every English
man who really wants to "live at home at
ease" to come over here, where good beef is
cheap and where, after the next Presidential
election, we shall have no one to modest US
or make us afraid.

AN OPPORTUNITY FOR JOHN MoRRIssEY.-
Here is o thing which Mr.. Morrissey ought
to look after. The victorious Kelly, having
pitched the Achilles Of the party out of the
Tammany doors, is now engaged in levying
tribute upon the wretched remainder. This
is surely too much for human endurance.
Mr. Morrissey, though lost to sight, is still
to memory dear in those halls which but
lately echoed his majestic voice. There
must be in this raid of Mr.. Kelly an oppor-
tunity for his great opponent to re-establish
himself. Can he not provide a Cave of
Adullam for the disaffected? In these hard
times it is surely too much to have Mr.
Kelly going about demanding toll from the
faithful. Will not Mr.. Morrissey come in to
the rescue? He might at least offer to take
less toll. If the chieftainship Of Tammany

separated from theirs by an impossible BAR
rier erected by the constitution.
If the present Canal Board is corrupt the
republicans are entitled to make the most OF
that fact, since the Board is democratic by a
majority of two to one. But if the present
Canal Board is not corrupt the public will
find it difficult to account for Governor Til
den's loud cry for reform. The Saratoga
Convention ought not to be swayed by Gov
ernor Tilden's vehement denunciations one
way or the other. They should be intelligent
enough to know whether the present manage
ment of the canals is corrupt, and if it is,
that fact will be n republican and not a
democratic weapon in the approaching can
vass. The democratic party cannot maintain
that the democratic Canal Board is honest
without treating Governor Tilden as the
prince of ibellers, and the Saratoga Conven-
ton may safely leave the democrats to take
which horn of the dilemma they please. If
the Governor tells the truth about the demo-
cratic State officers the people will be apt to
think it an odd argument for electing demo-
cratic successors. At any rate, it is safe for
the Saratoga Convention to let the Governor
alone, to denounce the Canal Board on their
own knowledge and select State ticket Of
such conspicuous integrity as to preclude all
doubt that we shall have an honest Canal
Board after the LIST of January if the republi-
can ticket is elected. 1t is absurd to make
the canvass revolve around the Governor as
its grand pivot when he has no authority
over the officers to be chosen, and would be
liable to impeachment if he should intrude
within their province. 81 am the State" is
an assumption which would be quite ridicu-
lous in New York Governor stripped by
the constitution of all control of the execu-
tive departments. Lftat c'est moi seemed
the height of arrogance even in the mouth
of French despot.
The third term question will, we are in
formed, come up in the Saratoga Convention,
although many members would willingly
avoid it. But any member is entitled to offer
aresolution, and one determined member can
prevent its being strangled in committee;
for when the Committee on Resolutions re-
ports, it will be in order to offer an amend
ment and bring it to vote. If resolution
against third term is voted down the Con-
vention will stand before the country as in
dorsing General Grants aspirations. This
would be suicide. We accordingly expect
an anti-third term resolution, and to avoid
scene in the Convention the Committee on
Resolutions will prefer to prepare it them
selves and emasculate its phraseology. If
this course should be pursued we trust
some sturdy republican will move vigorous
substitute and insist that it be voted on. If
the republican party expects to survive the
next Presidential election it must give this
alarming question its quietus now. IF New
York will add its voice to the States which
have already spoken, and declare its oppo-
sition with strong emphasis, the republican
party may even vet be saved.

The NEWPORT STEEPLEcHAsEs were splen-
didly attended yesterday, and the weather
favored the public and the contestants. Our
Newport letter picturesquely narrates the
events of both races. In the handicap only
two horses were started, Deadhead winning
over Wood6eld by half length. In the New
port Cup, for gentlemen riders the shaugh-
raun won by a length. The accident to Mr..
Clason was fortunately not serious, and the
success of the first steeplechase races at
Newport will undoubtedly cause them to be
renewed next year upon still larger SCALE

helped to frame the constitution under which

The .IIarmonious Democracy

Scarcely has the valorous Kelly restored
quiet to Tammany Hall by vigorous eypul-
sion ofone-half fits members-soa as to reduce
the party to some practical dimensions, we
suppose--before we hear the howl of new
democratic combat in Pennsylvania. Senator
Wallace and Mr.. Randall are the leaders of
this latest faction fight, and the Governorship
of the State is the bone of contention. Mr..
Randall would like to nominate Ex-Governor
Bigler; Senator Wallace prefers Judge Ross.
Mr.. Randalls friends assert that Senator
Wallace is in secret alliance with the Cam
eronian republican ring; Senator Wallace's
friends assert that Mr. Randall took his back
pay and is in general no better than he ought
to be. We hope the fight will go on. 1t is
just now the dull season of the year, and we
hail with delight anything which is of an
amusing nature. Certainly nothing can be
more amusing to lockers on than these
squabbles among the leaders of party which
is going into an election next year with one
half of its chiefs looking the other half in the
face and calling them naughty names. We
should like to see Mr.. Morrissey and Mr..
Kelly run over to Erie to arrange matters
for these Pennsylvanians. fallen and Carey,
Pendleton and Thurman, Hendricks and
Tilden would also go over, they might all
have their fight out there. Erie is kind of
neutral ground, where the police would
hardly interfere.

The Parade Nuisance.

The Police Commissioners were guilty of a
blunder almost amounting to a crime in per-
hitting the procession from New Jersey yes
terday to seize upon the leading streets and
avenues of the metropolis to the detriment
of legitimate traffic and the annoyance of
everybody We never knew more unwar-
rantable proceeding to happen in this city
There was neither reason nor excuse for the
parade. No sentiment, religious or other
wise, was to be subserved. A number of So
cieties in the contiguous towns across the
river determined to invade New York, and
they chose the busiest season and selected
the most crowded thoroughfares for their
purposes. The Police Department, forget
ting the opposition of our people to pa
rades of all kinds, carelessly accorded
the invaders everything they asked, and
the procession was escorted all over the town
by the municipal police, delaying traffic for
hours in the busy part of the day, and pre-
senting saddening spectacle to gods and
men. A more uncouth line was never seen
in our thoroughfares Butcher carts, soap
wagons, trucks apd like vehicles, decorated
with underground from Jersey swamps and
thickets, went numbering through the streets,
and the whole metropolis was compelled to
wait until the procession passed The mis-
take is one which must not be allowed to
occur again. No procession, whether foreign
or native, should be permitted to interfere
with the travel and traffic of the metropolis,
and we hope the Police Commissioners will
be more discriminating in the future when
applications are made to them for the right
to use the streets and avenues of the city.

respondent at Erie has reviewed the situation
before the meeting Of the Convention, and
