Third p.rs,s. In city Politics.

We do not think third party IN ciey poll
itics can have anything like tho potghcy OF
efficiency of the greenback party Fh The na-
tional canvass. The power Of third parties
depends on a pretty equal diyisicn between
the two regular parties. If We could sup
pose the two great parties to have precisely
the same strength the change II . single
vote would decide the contest between them
Our two great national parties are 50 eseniy
balanced that the Insignificant vote Tor Peter
Cooper may decide the Presidential elections
but there is no such equality between the
strength of the two leading parties IN this
city. There is no reason to suppose that .
few thousand votes will determine vh9 Is 70
be our next Mayor as a few thousand may
determine who will be the next President
The democratic party has SO immense 8 pre-
ponderance in this city that no small third
party can hold the fate of a city ticket in It's
hands.
There is, nevertheless, this peculiarly
that when one party is SO overwhelmingly
strong as the democrats are in the city Of
New York the jealousies Of leaders may
cause split and revolt, and if the section
of the party which draws of is large
enough to make q majority when combined
with the opposition the regular party may
be weak by the excess of its strength. This
has often happened to the democratic party
of this city, and may happen again in the
coming city contest 1t is q frequent expe-
rience in our city elections. Mr.. Opdyke, a
republican, was elected Mayor in 1861 by
slender plurality of 6l3. although the whole
democratic vote exceeded the republican
vote by nearly two to one. republican
Mayor was elected in consequence of
democratic split, Mr.. Opdyke, the repub-
lican candidate, receiving 25, $50 votes; Mr..
Gunther, the Tammany democratic candi-
date, receiving 24,767 votes, and Mr.. Fer
nando Wood, the Mozart Hall democratic
candidate, receiving 24,l67 votes. When
a political party is strong enough to take the
risk OF split it is as much at the mercy of its
opponents as when the two parties are SO
equally balanced that small third party
may turn the scale. It does not yet appear
whether the dissatisfied democratic con-
tingent in the coming municipal election
will bring to the republicans q strong
enough contingent to enable them to elect
their local ticket. But, until this question
is determined, the result in the city is as un-
certain as the result in the State is by the
equally balanced state of parties, which
makes it possible for the Peter Cooper ticket
to turn the scale.

mr.. sanford's Lctter.

We give place in another column to let
ter sent US by Mr.. Thurlow Weed from Mr..
II. s. Sanford, lately Minister to Belgium,
in which he discusses various phases of the
Southern question. He acknowledges that
there have been great and scandalous abuses
in the South by the republican camp follow
ers who have ruled there and still rule in
some of the States. He points out that the
credit of those States has seriously suffered
called republican rulers ran up monstrous
State debts and robbed in every direction.
He says, what is perfectly true, that those
States, with good government, have before
them an era of wonderful prosperity; and
he adds that what they now need is to be
left alone to manage their own affairs. in
which not only we but the greater part of
the Northern people agree with him. The
continued interference of the federal power
in the local affairs of the Southern States is
very strongly disliked in the North, where it
is seriously damaging the republican pros
poets, and we are glad to have Mr.. Sanfords
testimony to the fact that it is wrong, be-
cause he is not only large property owner
in the Southern States. but, as his letter
shows, an ardent republican.
AS to what Mr.. Sanford asserts about the
danger to our public credit abroad from q
democratic victory in November, we arc
sorry to see SO intelligent man put forward
SO absurd statement. From men like him
we expect better things than such mere cam
paign thunder He acknowledges that the
Northern democratic leaders are good citi-
zens, as we'll as the republicans. But he
need only ask himself whether they are fools
or not. If the democratic party should get
into power does he imagine that they are
going to fling away all their political future
at once by tampering in any way with the
public credit? The democratic leaders
are-like their republican rivals-fond of
Office and power Doubtless if they get in
they hope for prolonged term of Office.
Cannot Mr.. Sanford see what everybody
else sees--that to tamper with the public
credit, to increase the national debt, to act
in any way unwisely or ALPHABETICALLY,
would, in two years, send the party into an
unwelcome exile for half q century? No
party purposely commits suicide.

Philosophio Catering.

As good wine is said to need no bush, 80
wherever Delmonico puts up o kitchen
with an eating room attached people are sure
of good dinner if they can pay for it, and
there is no necessity for covering tho city
with posters to assure our citizens oi
the fact. The late Mr.. Stewart would
not have his name over his stores
on the same principle, but everybody
knew where to find the great dry goods man,
whether yard or a cargo of calico was
wanted When the Nestors of the restau-
rant business Of New York open o new
house it is as much an event as the opening
of a royal bottle of Johannisberg or Chateau
Yquem, hoary with the cobwebs OF
quarter century, at the little dinner
of pair of veteran gourmands. On
Broadway, near Pine, the lucky house
finds itself which was yesterday bap-
tized in all kinds of desirable and stim-
ulating liquids, and on whose altar every
edible bird and beast Tin season) was offered
up, not, indeed, whole burnt offerings, but
"done to turn" 0 rare Delmonico we
would say of the great king of cuisine, az
was said Of Ben Jonson, did it not strike ua
that captious world might think the per-
feet chef Of chefs was in the habit of presenting
his viands underdone. Let rs rather say sa-
gacious Delmonico. for it is the live tradition
Of nigh o century in Gotham that las Del
monico goes SO goes the dining" In his
new palatial house Of the roasted bird and
the fragrant wine on Fifth avenue beyond
Madison square success has crowned his
brow as naturally as good humor crowns
good cheer. Marching legion Of
cooks from Fourteenth street upon tho
heels of the upholsterers and house
filters who went ahead to make
things comfortable, Delmonico completed
his conquest over the bons uivdnts as quickly
as Cesar over the Pharmacies. He came, hs
slew (birds), he cooked. The business
movements of so sagacious caterer are
matter of significance to the student of ou1
city's growth, and the abandonment of the
Fourteenth and Chambers street houses for
houses respectively half mile higher ur
town and half q mile lower down town are
suggestive of o dual concentrative movement

Tho Herald and tho NewsdeaIers.

Tho Herald and tho Newsdealers.
That obstreperous and short-sighted fac
ton of the newsdealing fraternity which pro-
tests noisily against the reduction in the
price Of the HERALD has been seeking to en-
list popular sympathy by the plea that the
small hand-to-mouth dealers are being
ground down and forced to the verge of
starvation, and that q great injustice is
chargeablc to the HERALD in consequence.
This specious but absurd plea is abundantly
refuted by the statements of the small
dealers themselves, as reported elsewhere.
Instead Of being ground or starved to the
alleged degree they are not only in fair
state OF health and comfort, but are doing q
much larger business in HERALDs than here
tofore, owing to the popular appreciation of
the reduction in price and the corresponding
increase of the demand. 'Ive sold forty
to-day" said one dealer, ''and never used
to sell more than eighteen or twenty before
the price was reduced" 1t is apparent that
at this ratio of increase the advantage to
the dealer is greater than before, and thus
the fact dawns upon the newsmen that an
old profit may return in a new dress, and
that they who most promptly accept the
new order Of things will reap tho first bene-
ft while the less sagacious and more

Why the south Carolina Democrats
Ask for Troops.

Why the south Caroiins Democrats
Ask for Troops.
A delegation of Charleston democrats have
asked for the protection of United Statea
troops. Why2 A letter we received some
days ago from lady of Charleston tells the
reason. The rufianly part of the blacks OF
Charleston, this lady complained, daily
gather in the streets, insult ladies and
frighten children with vague threats of vio-
lence and murder. This has gone on fol
some time There is no remedy for this
grievous abuse and danger. The local gov.
ernment does not give protection the Gov
ernor neglects his duty as conservator of the
peace and order Of the State, and the white
men are forbidden by Chamberlain's procla-
nation to carry arms or to organize to pro-
tect those dear to them. What can they do2
II they undertake to punish these black ruff
fans they outlaw themselves, and, not only
that, but they help Chamberlain to raise
hue and cry Of insurrection. Every one
must rejoice that they have restrained the
natural impulse to crush rufiianism them
selves. They have asked for federal troops
what else had Chamberlain left for them to
do, except to suffer the continued insults
to ladies and children of the lawless blacks?

Tho international oper. House.


Apart from the question of growth in
wealth and population and consequent
power of sustaining more and better estab-
ishments devoted to the dram matic and lyric
arts, the enterprising New York manager
has to consider location. When he is satis-
fed that New York can support another
opera house or another high comedy theatre
his most difficult task remains in putting
it where it will do the most good" We
suppose Mr.. Maurice Strakosch has solved
the main question to his satisfaction,
and taken his cue from Delmonico, who
has forsaken the old operate alignment of
Fourteenth street for o more advantageous
stand up town. We shall welcome q new
home for opera, particularly on such
splendid scale as Mr.. Strakosch indicates,
not because we at all believe that the use-
fulness of the Academy of Music is APP
preaching an end, but because competition
is the life Of ar. as we'll as trade. What the
in London and between Halanzier and
Strakosch in Paris has done for opera in
Europe we all know. A new house
rs large as La Scala, at Milan,
with stage appliances equal to those
of Wagner's Theatre at Baireuth, with one
hundred and sixty boxes. with seating
capacity for five thousand persons, and un-
de- the management of SO entcrprising and
experienced an impresario rs Mr.. Strakosch
would so stimulate the taste for opera in
N.w York that it would soon reap its profit
and keep the Academy of Music going as
we'll. Give New York such a house, with
first class company, headed by such artists
as Nine. Adelina Patti and Mile. de Belocca,
and Mr.. Strakosch will evoke vigorous
rival at the Academy of Music, even if his
brother Max has TO head the opposition.
We could look on even such an unfraternal
strife with complacency if we thought that
art was bettered thereby. We are even GER
tain that when Maurice stabbed Max with a
bewitching tenor, or Max defantly flung a
magnificent baritone at the head of Maurice,
each would bear the pang at wounding
his relative with the Same fortitude that
nerves Medea whom she butchers her babies
The New York herald., 1876-10-27

There are hard words between the Aus
trian and German press that seem to have a
peculiar significance just now In the
United States the press, as we know by the
capital experience of the civil war, has O
dangerous capacity for the excitement of the
public mind and for putting the disputes
and differences of sections in such position
rs to make compromise impossible. 1t was
tho infammatory Southern newspapers more
than any other single force in the country
which made it necessary that the settlement
Of sectional differences should occur on the
battle field. This power of the newspapers
to put into a hostile attitude populations
that previously only differed in opinion is
with us consequence of the absolute free
dom of the press. But, strangely enough,
tho press seems to possess the same power
in Europe, and there it is q consequence of
its trammelled condition. Thus the stric-
lures Of the Austrian press on Ger
many's attitude excites the subjects Of this
criticism, because, as the Austrian govern
ment has the full authority to prevent such
publications, the fact that it does not pre-
vent them will be regarded in Germany as
an evidence that the opinions are not merely
those Of the journalists but Of the govern
ment. In Austria the same view will be taken
of the German answers, which will certainly
not be less tart than the Austrian criticisms.
1t would be an odd eventual settlement of
the Oriental difficulty if the two royal and
imperial" governments should become so
deeply involved in q dispute of this
nature as to leave Russia and the
Porte alone to deal with ono an
other. But even without such a quarrel
there is likelihood that Austria's influence
will be neutralized in the settlement by diff
ferences within her own limits as to her rela-
ton to the great dispute. Hungary's
antipathy to Russia provokes demonstrations
favorable to Turkey, and this is so contrary
to the requirements of the triple alliance
that it must necessarily provoke ON inter-
national scandal. This threatens to lead to
changes in the Austrian government; but
until those changes take place Austrias
position on any point in issue will not be
Of consequence beyond her own borders.

doubtful States in which the Cooper men
may hold the balance of power. There is a
strong and aggressive greenback party in
Indiana, consisting of men who believe in
the rag money doctrine. A large portion of
them had no hesitation in voting for Will
iams in the State contest, but they are too
fanatical to waive their greenback preju-
dices in the Presidential canvass Ii any
considerable part Of the rag money men Of
Indiana should vote for Mr.. Cooper Hayes
would carry the State The democratic
party cannot afford to lose Indiana.
If they should lose both Indiana and New
York by the greenback diversion the jig
would be up with the democratic party.
We warn the democrats of this danger, but
are not sure that any precautions or exer-
tions on their part will suffice to obviate it.
In contest SO close and doubtful as the
present it may happen, and is not unlikely
to happen, that the derided canvass of Peter
Cooper is the real pivot of the Presidential
election.
We must express our regret that our es-
teemed and venerable fellow 'townsman,
whose name is an honored household word
throughout the length and breadth of the
United States, and especially in this city,
where he is so we'll known and regarded with
SO much affectionate veneration, we regret,
we say, that citizen who has SO many titles
to esteem has permitted himself to be made
the representative Of the rag money heresy.
Mr.. Cooper deservedly holds the first place
among American philanthropists, and there
is no other citizen in whose favor the public
is SO inclined to observe the lenient rule
Be to her faults : little blind,
Be 10 her virtues very Kind.
The unfeigned respect felt for Mr.. Cooper's
virtues has tendency to bribe the judg-
ment and court the support Of citizens who
would not otherwise separate themselves
from the political parties with which they
have been accustomed to act. With all due
respect for Mr.. Cooper's judgment we think
the greenback idea u miserable, illogical fall
lacy, fraught with danger to every business
interest. But we cannot be blind to the
fact that his small squad Of supporters may,
perhaps, turn the scale in SO close an cleo
ton.

dilatory few will be distanced in the race

of the HERALD was taken only after the most
careful deliberation. and, having been finally
determined upon, was not to be lightly
changed at the whim and caprice of faction
OF middlemen, the whole body of whom,
though useful enough. are by no means
essential to the efficient distribution of an
enterprising newspaper. 1t is creditable to
the small dealers that they are selling lots
OF EN-, as one Of the newsmen says, instead
of wasting time in idle protests. BY at

gacty.
