Presidential Candidates.

There need be no dearth of Presidential
timber next year, for our own State alone can
furnish at least nine candidates, between the
two parties, and there are but few in this large
number who would not fill the Office credita-
bly, to themselves and the nation, while sew
eral Of them would nobly lift it from the deca-
dence into which it threatens to fall. To the
republicans we could give Mr. Evarts, Mr.
Pierrepont, Governors Morgan and Fish and
Senator Conkling; to the democrats, Cover
nors Tilden, Church, Seymour and General
Mcclellan. There are not more than two
men in this list who could possibly take
small view Of the Presidential Office and mar
row its functions to the limits of poor capa-
city. With any one of the others any good
citizen in either party might we'll be content
But how much practicable Presidential timber
we may have in the State it will be for the
conventions and the candidates to determine
between them, for certain Of these men only
are candidates in the sense in which they can
be regarded as having personally assented to
the use of their names in such q connection.
Tilden's candidacy is recognized. Governor
Morgan, as will be seen by few lines Of an
interview with him, in another column, has
"put himself in the hands of his friends"
Governor Fish would jump out of all the fry
ing pans IN the United States if there was the
least hope that any one of the jumps would
land him in the fire of the White House. Pub
lie opinion does injustice to Mr.. Conkling if
he would not, supposing he knew how stock
the cards for his nomination. Names like
those Of Governor Seymour and Mr.. Evarts
are placed in this connection not by them
selves, but by persons who take high view
of the Presidential station and believe it
should be held by men of pure character,
great capacity and extensive experience in
public life. In an article in another column
will be found the current facts on this subject
of perennial interest to the sovereign people.

RIFLE SHOOTING IN CoLLEGEs.-The idea
thrown out by the HERALD some weeks ago
that rife shooting should be introduced into
the programme Of college sports is likely to be
generally adopted. Cornell has already the
nucleus of a rifle club, and within few
years intercollegiate rifle matches will prob
ably become as popular as rowing matches.
Rife shooting is peculiarly fitted as an out
door sport for students Unlike rowing, it
does not involve severe physical training and
that overstrain which is sometimes so inju-
rious to the oarsman. But it demands imper-
atively temperance Of life, soundness of judg-
ment and bodily health, and will impress on
the youthful mind the value of these qualities
in the struggle of life.

Police Outra gcs.

1t would seem that our doughty guardians
of the public peace are in no way frightened
by the proceedings of the Legislative Com
mittee. No doubt they look on all the ex-
animation and cross-examination of witnesses
by inqusitive legislators as simply summer
pastime for these gentlemen, not likely to
lead to any practical results for the police
officers shield is regarded talisman that
secures the wearer against the operation of
the law. Hence the police officer is embold-
ened to commit outrages that even the most
reckless criminal attempts rarely. The story
of the girl who charges she was outraged by
Policeman Finnerty, in the Battery Park,
aided by his pal, is q pretty illustration of
the conduct of the guardians we pay to pro-
tect u.s. There is, however, a good chance
that swift punishment will overtake the per-
petrators of this latest outrage. The girls
story bears the impress of truth, and for
tunately the accused men are in the hands OF
the courts, where they will be dealt with ac-
cording to the law. We require an example
to be made of policemen who use the power
intrusted to them by the public to commit
crime with something like impuDity. When
one of these black sheep is caught in the
commission of q serious crime he should be
punished with the utmost severity of the law.

In CUBA the Spanish cause grows more and
more feeble, and while disease is decimating
the army and want stalks over the island the
insurgents become moro confident in increas-
ing strength, and we expect from present APP
pearances that the end is near at last. Even
Valmaseda begins to despair. We trust that
Spain will give up hopeless struggle which
has already cost too much blood and been the
cause of the sacrifice Of too many lives,

The English view of the CENTENNIAL.


We print this morning an admirable article
from the London Times of July "a, comment
ing upon the Centennial Exhibition in Phila-
delphia and giving us fair idea of the view
entertained by foreign nations of this great
work. The London Times commends the
urges upon our people the erection of high
standard by which to measure the character
of the objects exhibited. The Times has no
ticed in recent exhibitions San increasing
tendency to turn the building into place for
the common vulgar advertisement of trades
mems goods, without the slightest regard to
what is supposed to be furthered by an exhi-
misunderstanding improvement, artistic excel
lence, ingenuity of process or the like"
Where tradesman is allowed to make show
of his wares of ordinary goods, which
you may see in twenty shops in Oxford street,
without single new idea suggested by
them, the public feels that there must be an
element of charlatanism and jobbery in the
nature of these displays and is repealed
accordingly" The Times trusts that the
Americans will do something to remedy this
evil, and it thinks that we can do much
toward renewing "the usefulness and popu-
larity Of the industrial exhibitions" by max
ing a selection from the mass of merchandise,
good, bad and Indifferent, that will be sent
to us by Contemplating firms" We are
glad to find an authority, representative in its
character like the Times, so judicious and
chary in its commentators, taking deep
interest in our Centennial Exhibition. We
count largely upon the warm support of Eng
land in this display because, while we cele-
brate in 1876 the foundation of the Republic
of the United States, we celebrate in no less a
degree the greatness of that mighty nation
from which we come and in whose relation
ship we feel an honest Anglo-Saxon pride.

TA1rsiANY REORGANIZATION. 1t is evidently
intended that the reorganization of Tammany

committees the law OF loyalty which they are
expected to accept These resolutions are
rather hard reading, but the faithful, doubt
less. can discover their meaning.

WHILE ALFoNs1sT VICTORIES are reported
in the operations against the Carlists the
projected constitution is in a fair way of
adoption. This document will guarantee
freedom of worship to Protestants in their
own churches, and will, probably, lead to
great deal of religious and political agitation.

THE O'CoNNELL CENTENARY. We print
highly important dispatches from Dublin
about the O'Connell celebration, among
them an interesting interview with Cardinal
Cullen. Our Irish friends seem to be more
and more perverse in their celebration of the
OConneI centenary. We have the ultramon-
tame movement on the part of the priests, who
insist that the great leader was simply a SER
want of the Church, and who propose
that the demonstration shall be a menace
to Bismarck. We have also the Fenians and
the members of the extreme revolutionary
party, who demand that the display shall be
a rebuke to England for imprisoning
the Fenians. Neither of these parties
can remember that O'Connell was not
merely Catholic and an agitator, but
a great statesman; one who knew when to
march and when to stop; who loved his coun-
try so well that he would not become the
slave Of any party or any sect. There could
be no insult to the memory of OConnell
more fragrant than what is proposed in the
action Of the revolutionists and the priests.

possession, thrown from the steamer Columbus.

The Settlement Unsettled


The Louisiana question is the Louisiana
question again it is not settled. 1t was
Compromised" by FIVE ex- members of
congress from other states, but it would
not stay compromised. 1t has broken out
in fresh place and here we areEin the
midst of it again. 1t is small point that
the compromise splits on, but it is enough
probably to do the work. The lower house
of the state Legislature as reorganlzed un-
der the compromise is Democratic by a
small majority, but the senate is Republl-
can by lager majority, SO that If the two
houses should meet in joint session to elect
a United States senator in place of Pinch
back, the Republicans would outvote their
opponents. The Democrats of the house
oyercame this disadvantage by giving seats
to four Democrats whom the returning
board returned as mem bers. hut the house,
as at first organized, refused to admit,
The Republicans bitterly protest that this
is violation of the compromise, but the
Democrats reply that it involves point
not covered by the compromise; that the
house has an indefeasible right to Judge of
the election and qualifications of its mem
bers; and that the four persons referred
to having been admitted even by Repub-
lican returning board to have been elected,
ought be allowed their seats. This reason
ing does not satisfy the RepublIcans-and
therefore the whole trouble is probably re-
opened, and Louisiana is RENTED to the
suspense of a new controversy. t.ss.
p We have intimated repeatedly that all
violent and artificial adjustments of this
wretched quarrel will prove Intellectual,
and every fresh aspect of it confirms that
view. There has not been an adjustment
made otit yet that could stand without
foreign support 1t has been settled"
three several times and as often unsettled,
simply because it was settled wrong. It
has been adjusted without regard to the
rights of the people; these have been sub
ordinated to the interests of the Republi-
can party. The successive compromises
have all been based, not on the enduring
principle Of the right OF people to elect
their own officers, but on assumption that
the Republican party must be maintained
in Louisiana at all hazards: and this is
why they have all failed, Fer years pas
the state has been governed by the Repub-
lican central committee, of which Marshal
Packard is chairman, with the federal army
behind it. Such condition is Tyranny
and mockery of every principle, and there
can be no social and political order in the
state as long as it is maintained st. Louis
