A Probable Accident not Without
Fault.

II was a coincidence that on the very
day when our former article predicting
an accident on the Long Island Railroad
was published, n collision took place be-
tween two locomotives at Mineola. We
are informed that the engines were dis
abled but, rs both trains had slackened
speed, no person was hurt. We suppose 1t
may be set down rs one of that numerous
class of cases in which jurors render ver-
diet that no one Is IN blame.
But If such an accident occurs rs we have
predicted, from running over cattle, IL will
not be an accident with no one TO blame.
The President Of the Long Island Railroad
Company will be to blame. II passengers
are xii ed or injured 1t Will be his fault.
1t is his duty to see that the road is prop
erly fenced and protected. He has only
the superior watchfulness OF experienced
and careful conductors and engineers to
thank that a terrible calamity has not
already covered the track and his own
skirts with human blood.

The Two-ThIrds Rule.

The two-thirds rule. which has so long
prevailed in Democratic National Conven-
tions, is n bad thing in itself. II Is anti
democratic. 1t is calculated to defeat the
will Of the majority. II tends to prevent
the nomination of any one among the
chief Statesmen Of the party, compelling
the Convention to fall back upon some
negative and obscure man. The rule
ought to be abolished.
But 1t ought not to be abolished in the
st. Louis Convention until after the nom
ination. In the first place, there is no
need of abolishng 1t in order to secure
the nomination of the peoples reform
candidate. With the unprecedented sup
port which has rallied around Mr. TIIDrN
from the North. the South the East, and
the West, he will have the votes OF the
requisite two-thirds of the delegates nj the
very start. He will be nominated without
struggle. In fact, we should not he sur
prised If The Convention. on comparing
notes, were 10 conclude that IT is bet
ter TO nominate him by acclamaton
without hallutng Mt all or casting compli-
mentary votes for the two or three distin-
guished gentlemen from States whose
representatives have intended TO pay
them such honor. The two-thrds rule,
then, may be allowed to stand so far as the
present Convention is concerned. Indeed,
IL is better that II should stand. With the
absurd and violent opposition made against
Mr.. TILDEN by n handful of politicians in
this State, whose demands he has not
thought proper 10 agree to, II is better that
the nomination should be given him under
the most rigorous conditions. II will make
the defeat of this opposition the more con
elusive and satisfactory.
But after the immediate business is over
when the nominations ana platform are
completed, the Convention should pro-
claim the two-thirds rule abolished. both
on the ground Of principle and the ground
of policy, and IT should frame such a
declaration upon the subject as will be
most influential and binding with future
Conventions.
The sun. [volume] (New York [N.Y.]) 1833-1916, 1876-06-26
How IL will Probably stand.

Things have advanced pretty rapidly
within the last week, and tho indications
respecting action ut st. Louis ara not to-
day what they were ten days ago.
The probability that Gov. HENDRICKS OF
indiana may be nominated for Vice-Pres-
ident on the same ticket with Gov. TILDrN
has considerably decreased. and the signs
especially the substantial adhesion of the
Illinois state Convention to Mr.. TILDEN-
now indicate a combination about as fol-
lows:
For Treaient-sASJKL J. TrLDES OF New York.
For Hce-Pt esdent-wILLIAn H. MORRISON Of Illinois.
This will be very strong ticket. Mr.
MORRISON, though only a short time in
Congress, has gained the reputation of Il
man of great intellectual soIidity and
weight, with a character OF perfect up
rightncss and judgment that Is rarely ut
fault. When the delegates OF Illinois rise
Mt 1t. Louis and propose that Mr.. MoRRI-
SONS name be placed on the ticket along
with that of Gov. TILDEN, we presume that
even the screeching voice of Tammany
Hall will not be raised very loud in oppo-
sitiOn.

OF this hlgh-minded commission, were
placed In the third class, and got little or
nothing. Under the treaty, and under the
instructions Of the Department, SIMON was
bound to pay to each individual indian
the sum due him. and take his receipt for
1t, except In cases Of minors and orphans,
where 1t was to be paid to " trustworthy"
persons as father or uncle Of claimant,
who should be selected with the
advice and consent of the chiefs.
And yet when the business was done IL
was asoertained that out OF uinety-two
Indians, to whom distribution was made,
only thirteen received certificates for their
own money, either by themselves or pa
rents. Nineteen certificates were given to
"so-called trustees" rs Major HITCHCOCK
put II, and sixty to attorneys in fact.
BRoDnEAD had the bulk of the claims, and
Middletown bunk notes, -. CAMERON,
Cashier" we're thick as autumn leaves.
For instance. BRoDHEAD bought OF JOHN
BAPTIST PEoN the claim of his two minor
children for $500, and received SIMoN's
certificate and draft for $500. After the
Commissioners left the place, a private
docket was found i'm their room wherein
every claim for which BRoDHEAD APP
peared was m irked allowed, and II 1t was
that of q half-breed, placed in the first
class.
In the mean time the money 10 pay the
half-breeds had been sent up to Prairie du
Chen by HITCHcooK. But nothing was
further from SIMoN's virtuous intention
than to have this money disbursed there.
Such course would have deprived the
spectators Of every excuse for taking
powers of attorney, assignments, and trus-
teeships. IL the money and the commits
sion and the Indians should all be brought
| together at Prairie du Chien, there could
be no possible excuse for not paying each
Indian precisely what belonged to him.
Accordingly, SIMON, MURRAY, and BRoD-
HEAD left Prairie du Chen about the time
the money arrived there, and the latter
being promptly returned to Major HITcn-
COCK, they reached st. Louis on the same
day with it,
But Major HITCHCOCK was bold rs well
ms an honest man. lie had acquired suf-
fcient information TO understand the scam
dalous proceedings OF the commission and
the nature of the cruel frauds committed
upon the Indians. He suspended every
| draft against the half-breed fund, reported
TO the department, and began an investi-
gation-the result of which was that all
these proceedings were set aside by the
department, and BRoDHEAD and his nc
complies lost their plumber. The report
of the Commissioner of Indian Affairs, and
the endorsement OF the Secretary of War
concerning the doings of this commission,
are as severe as an official paper can well
be made. A new commission was ordered,
and nothing done by the CAMERON Com
mission was permitted the slightest recog-
milton.
And thus IL was that SIMON became the
Winnebaeo chief, and began to acquire
that character for stubborn integrity
which makes him so dear 10 GRANT. ana
enables him to dictate nominees TO the
| Republican Darty.

ST. Louis.

IL is in the power of the st. Louis Con-
vention. which meets tomorrow, to rem
der great service to the country. Its duty
Is 10 nominate candidate who represents
reform, aud to put out platform which
boldly proclalms the principles OF reform.
We have corrupt, faithless, aud wasteful
Administration. The st. Louis Convention
must take the first step for supplanting It
with an honest aud sound Administration,
prepared to carry out the policy ofretrench-
ment. When we consider the demands
made upon II by the country, and the OPP
portunlty that Is presented To II, we can
not believe that II will fan in this duty.
There is no doubt whatever rs to the
fact that Gov. TILDEN is by far the strong
est man before the Convention-strongest
in himself, in his principles, in his record,
In his party relations, and in his national
position. His strength has been more
clearly developed, day by day, rs the time
for the Convention has been approach
ing; and now, at st. Louis, 1t is admit
ted on all hands, that even those
OF the other aspiTants who come nearest
to him are far behind him. His stand
ing Is UNEXPECTEDLY high in many OF the
Western delegations, ana the Southern
delegations are ready to seize the oppor-
tuuity to sustain him. II is deplorable TO
see so many of the Tammany politicians
of this city rushing 10 ST. Louis to oppose
Gov. TILDEN, who was recommended for
the nomination by the State Democratic
Convention II short time ago. In this
business john KELLY has made another OF
those false steps which have marked his
career in politics.

The History OF the Two-rhird. Rule.

To THE EDITOR OF The SuN-Sir: The
origin of tho two-thirds RUE, now forming 4
part Of the political discussion Of the day, take
the liberty OF placing before you the recollec-
tions OF an old politician.
In 1896 Martin Van Buren, was nominated for
the Presidency. He was Gen. Jackson's choice,
and although the nulliners OF that day were op-
posed to him, yet there was no doubt Of his
nomination. The only question was, who should
receive the nomination for Vice President. Col
luchard NJ. johnson was the favorite OF the
hard-hsted Democratic masses. A report writ
ten 10y him IN opposition to disseminating tho
running Of the United States mail on sunday
had made him popular In the North and West
but Mr. Van Buren, and his friends desired To he
reinforced by strong name for the South. They
preferred William e. Rves OF Virginia. In
order 20 defeat johnson In the nomination the
two-thirds rule Was introduced by Mr.. Van
liurens friends. II did not prevent Johnson's
mination. but he failed to obtain the requisite
number ~ electoral votes to secure his election
lie was afterward selected by the United States
Senate A. Vice. President.
In the struggle at Baltimore, in 1871. the
two-thrds rule was introduced by H. NJ
saunders, Of North Carolina, In order 10 pre-
vent Mr. Van Burens denomination rs lrc~i-
dent. The writer Of this article was cooperating
with Saunders to defeat Mr. Van Buren,. On
one occasion he recollecta distinctly that he met
saunders In the rotunda Of the Capitol ut WASH
catric Convention was to meet al Baltimore
The writer remarked to saunders that he was
satisfied that majority Of the delegates were
for Van buren,. and he could not see how he
could he deprived Of the nomination. Saunders
answered, =" There Is not II majority sincerely in
his favor. Enough Of them will vote for this
resolution" He then exhibited the two-thirds
rule. and he added. ave will give Van his own
medicine" Afterward, II IL well known. Saun-
ders aud Robert J. Walker fought successfully
Van Buren's friends. The result was Polk $
nomination. Since that time the rule has formed
u part Of the traditions OF the Democracy.
