POLAR EXPLORATION has attracted the at
tention of the public since the return of the
British expedition from the Arctic sens
The failure of that attempt and the reasons
assigned therefor by Captain Mares have
caused much discussion in England
and America rs to the possibility
of reaching the Pole by the Smith
Sound route. We print on another page the
opinions of an English whaling captain who,
on the strength of many years experience
in the Arctic seas, insists on the entire prac-
ticability of attaining latitude 90 north. He
says, however, that it is impossible to do SO
by Smith Sound, and advances some strong
arguments in support of his theory.
CHURCH AND STAGg.-The address Of Pro-
fessor Blackie, delivered before the Greek
class in the Edinburgh University on this
theme, will well repay perusal. It meets
the Puritanical opponents of the theatre
squarely on their own ground. Coming
from a profound scholar and devout
Christian it will give the ignorant desk
thumpers who object to all theatricals but
their own q particularly ine-tempered
Scotch file to gnaw upon

No Privateers.

It was telegraphed from Europe the other
day that some Americans had already made
application to the Russian government for
letters of marque, and were prepared to fit
out armed cruisers to prey on British COM
merce as soon as war should be declared.
In his minds eye the unrefecting patriot in
whose boom the memory of the Alabama
still rankles saw an opening chance to get
new hold on those indirect damages"
and contemplated visions of havoc by COM
parison with which the achievements of
the Confederate cruiser were so small that
they might be readily forgotten in a
not distant future. There is no doubt
that if privateers could be accepted by
Russia the seas might swarm with
most efficient and well-armed craft that
would do great harm to English COM
merce in case there should be war between
the two countries, and England would find
her whole navy SO occupied with the war
proper that she could do quite as little to
pursue privateers as our government did
when cruisers against our commerce issued
from British ports. But England and Rus
sia are not yet at war, and if war should
actually ensue there will be no privateers, as
the enterprising Americans in Russia have
doubtless already learned. Privateering is
abolished by the law of Europe, and Russia
is one Of the nations whose accredited repre-
sentatives signed the declaration abolish
ing it April 16, 1856. There is only
very slight chance that enterprise
will have great field in that direction.
The abolition of privateering is one of four
points agreed upon by the Powers es having
a common obligation and if one OF these
points is violnscd by any Power its enemy
would be released from the others. These
are-that neutral flag covers an enemys
goods, except contraband of war that neu-
trail goods, with the same exception, are
free in an enemys ship, and that block
ades must be effective These are points
through which an arrogant commander of
an armed ship might upset the whole agree
ment between governments, and it is not
improbable that an offensive violation of
any one Of these would lead to a resort to
privateeting The three rules of the Ala
bama treaty bind our government to do its
utmost to prevent the use Of American ports
for the equipment of privateers but our
government might prove as little able to
wrestle with this difficulty as other govern
ments have been.
The New York herald., 1876-11-27

men are not slow to use every advantage the
ground offers to inhict annoyance and loss
on our troops. The steadiness of the in
fantry, combined with the superior range of
their guns, make them formidable adver-
saries and the red men have already learned
of cavalry prevents effective punishment of
the red enemies, yet the moral influence ex-
ercised by the infantry must in the end
convince even the widest Indian that a con-
test with the white man is hopeless, and
must end in submission or determination.

An accurate analysis of the
present political situation has
satisfied a writer in the st. Louis
Republican that the Democracy
have the decided advantage
They are already in possession
of Estates enough to elect the next
President, and therefore do not
need to GAIN States, but merely
to hold their own. Of the recent
elections Connecticut and Ore
gon have demonstrated that the
Northern Democracy are so far
from being dismayed that they
are confronting the enemy every
where at the north with a conf
dence born Of their just cause
and their beneficent intentions.

POLITICAL SCHEMES.

which will be very barren of
results. The fact is, the plat
form, as introduced by political
parties, has come to be part OF
the machinery of politics. 1t is
usually manufactured by a COM
mittee from that small class who
make a living by party manage
ment. More than one of this
class has defined it as device
to catch votes-a declaration OF
political faith that binds no one
who don't want to be bound
Thus, for two or three years or
more, there has been incorporat-
ed into nearly every Republican
platform a declaration in favor
of the civil service reform, and
of economy in public expendi-
lures. Both declarations exact
| ~ met the popular demand
Yet both were practically repu-
dated by these politicians who
have had everything their own
way. We have come at last to
accept the fact that, given, an
honest man competent and thor
oughly in sympathy with the
wants and aspirations ofthe peo-
pie, the platform will be all
right whether it is formulated or
}. remains unwritten; and given,
a man ofexpedients, of low tone,
who relies on party machinery,

fusion and a snare. How many

From the Democratic Pa) Watchman-l
The South Carolina Democrats
seem to be hemming, having and
hesitating about whether to nom
mate a candidate for Governor
against Governor Chamberlain.
We say to them, don't hesitate
any longer. Put up your best
man and rally the vote on him.
Chamberlain, who processes to
be such a virtuous Republican,
may be a little better, perhaps,
than Moses and Scott and Whip
per, but if he is looked at closely
it will be observed that he has
the same ear marks-is tarred
with the same stick. His action
in refusing commissions to Moses
and Whipper was a good one
and his general course as Gov
ernor of the State is not without
it's commendable features, but
at the same time it must be re-
collected that the Governor has
all along had his eye on a Sc
cond term, and it would have
been suicidal for him to have
trodden in the footsteps Of his
predecessors. At all events, he
has never done anything to emit
tie him to the votes of the Dem
ocracy of South Carolina in pref
erence to one of their own men,
and we do hope that they will
not allow the election to go Re
publican by default. If they
ever want to carry the State
again and get the government OF
it back into the hands Of the
white people exclusively, they
must not tamper with any sncf
halfway men as Governor
Chamberlain. Better to be de
feated with a candidate of theil
own, representing their princi
pies, than successful-with a Rad
ical to lead them. We are sur
| prised that the Democrats 0
South Carolina should think 9
such a thing as making no nom
ination. They ought to put ON
Of their very best men into tn
field and then rally their who'll
strength upon him. We believ'
that even the better portion o
the Republican party of tina
State would help them, for it j
not possible for the sensibl
men Of that party to look upo
the present condition of thing
: there without disgust. By a
: means let the Democracy sho,
that they still exist in the Pa

HE now PROMISES TO VETO BILLS PAYING
SOUTHERN CLAIMS.
At last Mr.. Tilden has walked up to the
necessity of defining his position on the
"5outhern claims" question. He has writ
ten letter to Mr.. Hewitt, the Chairman Of
the Democratic National Committee, assur-
ing him that if elected President he will
use the veto power with great vigor should
Congress pass any bills for the payment of
''rebel' claims of the classes which he
designates. Mr.. Tilden is 30 excited over
the matter that he actually uses the word
"rebel."
The following are the material portions
of the letter : Should be elected President
the provisions of the fourteenth amend
ment will, 80 far as depends on me, be main
tanned, executed, and enforced in perfect
and absolute good faith. No rebel debt will
be assumed or paid. No claim for the loss
or emancipation of any slave will be al
lowed. No claim Cor any loss or damage In
Cured by disloyal persons arising from the
late war, whether covered by the fourteenth
amendmenG or not, will be recognized
or paid. The cotton tax will not
be refunded / shall deem it my
duty to veto every bill providing for the
assumption or payment of any such debts,
losses, damages, claims, or lOr tne reIunu'
ing of any such tax. The danger to the
National Treasury is not from claims Of
persons who aided the rebellion, but from
claims of persons residing in the Southern
States; or having property in those States,
who we're, or pretended to be, or who for
the sake of aiding claims, now pretend to
have been, loyal to the Government of the
Union. Such claims, even of loyal persons,
where they are from acts caused by the
operations Of war, have been disowned
by the public law of civilized nations,
condemned by the adjudication of the
Supreme Court of the United States, and
only find any status by force of specific
legislation of Congress. These claims have
become stale, and are often tainted with
fraud. They are nearly always owned in
whole or in part by claim agents, by specu
lat0rs or lobbyists, who have NO equit.
against the taxpayer or the public. They
should, in all cases, be scrutinized with jeal
| GUS care.
