Science is quite popular nowadays Sci

Of all sorts, from the daily newspaper to the
monthly magazine, reserve space for the scen-
tinc paragraph or discussion. II, along with
this interest In science, there shall be engen-
defcd the habit Of reasoning with scientific
accuracy, and testing the actions of men not by
metaphysical distractions, but by the study OF
their make up and circumstances, the present
popularity OF science will be of benefit in many
ways. The young editor of the Powerful Mind
makes a specially of science. Next to love,
kisses, tears, and Rush generally, he patronizes

The British Government has demanded

mo,al Of Lr1s NENEGAs from the royal
mail steamer Elder at 81. Johns. Porto

clal SArz; secondly, the immediate suIrcn-

salute of twouty-one guns TO the British

The outrage referred TO was committed
over two months ago, not on the high seas

ignorance If International law might, per-
haps, be partially eXcusable, but at the
capital of a Spanish colony, the residence
Of Captain-Gcuoiul, the direct represon-
tative OF the King Of SPAN.
When We recall TO our minds the haste
with which Great Britain, on the very list

by Capt WILKES Of Mossrs. Mason ana
SLiDELL from ON board the Trent. gave as
the option of war or the surrender Of our
prisoners, not only does the haste which
the British Government displayed on that
occasion appear at this date, almost in
decent but its apathy and delay in exact
ing from spain Tepnraton for a far grayor
insult would induce the belief that the
offence Of violating its flag is relative to
political circumstances.
In the case of the Elder, no cottou-loid
interest has spurred the Government TO
action as in the cast of the Trent.

Tic Rcpublican state c.onyent..on.

Tie Republican state iOnvcnt ION.
There were salient featv res in the pro-
cccdings of the Republicy II state 'Convcn-
ton which will arrest 2 cncral attention.
The tall form of Senai or CoNIsrINa was
conspicuous by its ~ ,seuce. lie domi-
mated the Convention Mt Utica n year ago.
lie specially requisite d that 1t should not
now assemble in tn At thriving city One
OF his main reasons for this doubtless was
that whereas tho Utica Convention did
not dare to adopi a resolution against n
third term, 1t WIS very certain that the
Saratoga CONVEX ton would. And he did
not wish to see this done.
From the outset the Convention wore a
lnnguid, sombre air which struck every
impartial observer. The delegates were
eminently respectable, and in the aggre-
gate were worth "A vast amount of money.
But the light of victory did not CLEAN in
their eyes. Indeed, they rather looked
like forion hope on the road to inevita-
BILE defeat. Though gen. SHARPE Sur
vcyor Of this port, hustled about as usual,
and the Bald Eagle of Westminster now
and then raised his clarion voice, and
Judge ROBERTSON sat calm and composed
rs if he was peering into the future, and
COY. MORGAN was evidently contemplating
he effect of the November election upon
MS chances for the Presidency, there was
cloud of dependency lowering over the
convention which depressed even the
spirits OF those who hoped for good things.
In "A word defeat now aud defeat next
year were visibly written ON the brows OF
both delegates and spectators.
The platform is wordy, and generally
commonplace, but il has two or three sig
nilicant points. It denounces the third
term plot ia explicit terms. Some of the
delegates desired that this might be other
wise but the tide was too strong to he re-
sisted, and the opposition was over
whelmed. The Catholic school question
was drawn in, but without any provoca-
ton that warranted its introduction on
this occasion; aud the loud cheers with
which that plank IN the platform was
greeted only prove that q party on the
brink of destruction VIII grasp even at a
shadow to break its fall
In respect To the ticket put in nomina-
u"u the Convention has utterly failed to
meet the public expectation. We were
promised am unusually strong list of can
'tt'-. We are turned away with re-
mnrNahly weak one. Mr. SEWARD is

to appoint Judge LOTT to the vacancy in the

Argument; but We support the Judge on another

We trust he will make nrst-rate Governor /;

ambition to attain that Office may be justified.
But II he had been the conductor of a leading
metropolitan journal of power and influence, It
would be a sacrifice for him 20 assume an adj

SAM DOwLFs wants CHALEs FRANCIS ADAMS

SAN BowLHs for Minister to England. SAN thinks
ADAMS would make great President ADAMS thinks
sam would make splendid Minister brooklyn Argus.
What is the evidence that such a bargain has
been nader We don't believe 1t. They are not
that kind Of men. BowLEs supports ADAMS
because he is convinced ADAMS would make
frst-rate President He Is not after any office.
ana II the British mission were offered him, we
dare say he would refuse It like man. Besides,
while we are very willing to have Mr.. ADAMS for
President, since we sure he would make
dignined. honest, and economical administra-
tion, we are against Mr. BowLEs for Minister 70
England. For that office we have another can
didate, much handsomer than BOwLEs, and at
the proper time we will put him In nomination.
Enough for the present TO say that he Is not

era raised n hue and cry against GREELEY

they succeeded IN giving GRANT second

card was issued, the whole system which
these bankers had commended to the coun-
try exploded, and some of the most prOlnt-
ncnt sguers led the way.
Since then three years have passed

The very reverse is true. rs everybody

The people are in no humor to favor the
great mouopoles or corporations, which
have hitherto exercised too much power
nj Washington. Capital is naturally con-
srrvative, but when il goes out of the
beaten paths of prudence to invite con-
test with hungry labor, it takes risks that
do not promise large dividends. Banks
