CHINAMEN AS VoTERs.-A correspondent inquiries
whether Cinnamon are generally eligible as voters.
The law p~rescribes that q voter shall be able to read
and write, but does not say whether it, shall be in
English, Hawaiian, Chinese or Sanscrit, that he
must be able to use those accomplishments. We
don't believe it would hurt John a bit if he were
declared ineligible for the exercise of the ballot
privilege, SO long as he may be allowed the far more
important privilege of peddling cakes and otherwise
ipdulging his proclivities for trade.

SpJLLEp-MILK CONTENTION.

A new convention is called by the Demo
cratic State Committee, to meet at Saratoga
on Wednesday, Sept. 13. 1t may be properly
called Spilled-Mik Convention. There's an
old proverb that "there's no use crying over
"spilled milk" This convention will do more
than cry over it. 1t will undertake to make
butter-nay, may we not say, in view of Gov.
Seymour's specially, cheese--of it. 1t will
meet under circumstances of the greatest
solemnity. The men who last week threw up
their hats and howled themselves hoarsc over
the prospect of "SeymOur and Victory" will
come together IN a less exuberant mood, ana
look each other in the face. great change
has come over the spirit of that beautiful
dream. They have discovered that Gov. Sey-
mour was in earnest, that Col. Faulkner was
deceived. that Mag0ne was-well, they have
not vet made up their minds about
Maoone-that Spriggs, the able Spriggs, was
deluder. and that, in short the whole world is
stuffed with sawdust, and all things are not
what they seem. One shudders to think OF
these people coming again face to face under
such circumstances. What Will Magone have
to say? How will Faulkner, the smooth and
plausible Faulkner, appcarf And will Spriges
be thereR These are the questions OF tho
hour. And then, last weeks speeches and last
weeks predictions and last weeks enthusiasm
who shall call them to mind who dare III that
somber throng add remorse to melancholy by
referring ever SO distantly to themf
1t has been intimated upon high authority
that the convention viii investigate. With
investigation there will be recrmination, with
recrimination perhaps collision, and with col
lision large diffusion among individual MEM
bers of the black eye already received by the
party. Upon the whole the convention prom

cannot be otherwise than lively. There's elo-
ouence already gathering IN various parts OF
the State sufficient to occupy the convention
four DAYS in listening to it, and of a sort that
must come out. 1t will not be damned. Ev-
erything else will, but that will not. And

great party that has spilled It's milk gathers it

THE FALL OF ALEXIN1TZ.

There can be no doubt, after reading the
vivid description of last Fridays battle by the
correspondent of The London Times, that II the
Turks have not taken Alexinatz it was SIMPLY
because they did not want it. No reliance
whatever can he placed on any contradiction
from the Servian sidc The one important,
hard-fought battle of the war has been no more
successful than most of the minor engage
ments which preceded it, The Turkish army
arpears TO have been splendidly handled, and
thus Tchernayen's lack OF military genus
becomes more than ever conspicuous
We can only wonder that the Ser
Wan troops held out so long ana gal
lantly 1t is certainly no inglorious defeat !;
and even yet the broken army, If reformed,
reinforced, and competently led, might make
another and n firlner stand. If Osnan Pasha
advances Immediately, however, the road to
Belgrade cannot be barred against him. 1he
Servians are no longer able to hold Deligrad :
they will fall back upon Chuprja, line OF
defense less naturally strong than that from
which they have been driven, and will hight
passively TO impede-nOt prevent-the Turkish
invasion.
The fall of Alexinatz does not change the
political situation. 1t is too nearly coincident
in time with the published reports of the Bull
garian massacres, To be of much service to
Turkey in the coming intervention. IL VIII
undoubtedly hasten the action of the Great
Powers, in order to afford, when the chance
has nearly passed some little protection to the
Servian people Diplomatic interests are fast
receding, in the face of crime against human
ity. In England, the impatience of the people
with the attitude of the Government Is finding
fierce expression On the 23d ult., Earl Russell
wrote to Lord Granville, urging an Autumn
session of Parliament He calls for an alliance
of the Powers of Europe, to combine in one
"frm and rcsolute treaty against Turkish
"tyranny in Europe" lie then makes this
for an English statesman-amazlng declara-
ton: 81 care not whether Russians, Austrians,
"Germans, or Italians succeed them. England
"wili only require to have the passage into
"tbe Black Sea free to all ships of war and
"of commerce,-the passage to Odessa ana
"Varna open"
These words will find hearty echoes. The
barbarites pcrpetrated by the Turkish author
itics are equivalent to declaration OF war
against all Christian mankind. by permitting
them. Turkey has forfeited her right to be rec
ognizcd as a nation. The issue of the Servian
war is the least important aspect OF the ques-
ton now to be settled.

many worthy but weary man will be glad
to follow. Nine out of ten in his position
would have yielded, and submitted under
the spell of partisan ascendency to conditions

substantially declared that the Democratic
party does not own him, and all the little and
great file leaders stand aghast at such an uh-
wonted display of personal independence.
They shake their heads IN impotent wrath
and declare that they have done with him
forever, and that never shall he receive hon

see that he does not want them. With their
usual coarseness they miss the most delicate
point of the situation. What does one who

THE JyGRATyTUDE OF A PARTY.

The thanks of all leading political men are
due to Gov. Seymour. BY the frmness with
which he has refused to be the mere humble
servant of party. ready to make every per-
sonal sacrifice of convenience, of inclination,
and of personal dignity for the sake of pro-
noting the ambitious schemes of others, he
has really done much to break that spell of
party domination which has made miserable
many noble nature and filled with the Bit
terness of unnecessary disappointment many q
faithful public servant. We are not disposed
TO Try into Gov. Seymour's motives. We are
willing, in the absence of a definite knowledge
of them, to believe that he has been governed
by considerations which are perfectly hon
orable. The question almost for the first
time has arisen whether convention has
right forcibly to abduct n man from his Otium
cum dignitdte, and in spite OF all considerations
of his health, his tastes, his private exigencies,
to compel him to be its candidate. Gov. Sey-
uour is the last man who should have been
subjected to this indignty. He has been at
least faithful party servant. He has proved
his loyalty in more than one hard fought field ;
and he has been full of courage and of hope
when to be Democrat was equivalent to q
resignation of most political honOrs and DIS
tinctiOns If his party to-day is power in
the State of New York, its thanks for immu-
nifty from comparative extinction are due to
him. For the sake Of that party he has submitted
