the same city Is another offender Mr. Mccoy oo-
casionaly falls into the error, but less frequently
than one would naturally expect from his peculiar
position and constant strain. DIR. Hepworth lately
talked about seeing the autographs Tor was 10 mono
grams of Moody and Sankey on the souls Oh certain

Dr. Deems tells from the pulpit that it Is his haoit
to pray on the first day of each month for all OF hIS
flock whose names begin with A. on the second DAY
for those who begin to spell their names with b. ana
so on until tho alphabet and calendar are stimuli
taneously exhausted. 1t is customary TO attribute
this spreading vice to the example of Nit Beecher'
who in the pulpit IS often guilty Of expressions
which create laughter. But his imtators ought not
to forget that Mr. Beecher's Beecherisms" as they
have come to be called, have thought and power
aud often rich poetry in them, and that, however
grotesque they arc filed with truth and human
nature which tho simplest person in his audience
at once recognizes and feels.

WAGYER md TgE CANTEYNI4E.

There is now authority for the announce
ment that Richard Wagner has agreed to COM
pose grand march for tho opening of our
exhibition at Philadelphia. There is no mu-
sician living whose work would be more likely
to attract notice in this country than the
author OF "Tannhauser and the "Ring of
"the Niblungs," and perhaps there is none
who would produce for such festival q work
more richly deserving notice. Wagner has
never written poor music to order since
the miserable days of his early youth in
Paris, when he manufactured arrangements
for the publishers at starvation prices. All
tho occasional works of bis mature years have
been of high and permanent value; he has not
put pen to paper except under the impulse of
ideas he gives nothing to the world which he
does not believe to be worthy of his fame.
His American Centennial March therefore will
doubtless do credit to his own genius, and we
need hardly say that it is almost certain to be
stirring and gorgeous enough for the celebra-
ton which it is TO usher in.
That the great master has been induced to
interrupt the preparations for his model per-
Torrance at Bayreuth long enough to write
this March for America il the fruit of the
negotiations of Theodore Thomas, under
whose direction OF course the execution of the
piece will take place. II is owing however to
the zeal of the Women's Centennial 0rganiza-
ton, which has pledged itself to provide tho
necessary money, that Mr. Thomas was en-
abled to offer Herr Wagner q suitable COM
pensation. The ladies of Philadelphia and
Boston have agreed to raise certain moder-
ate amount, and the ladies of New-York arc
following their patriotic example. If the his
tory Of the Centennial enterprise ia ever pub
lshed in full, the world will be surprised to learn
how much the women of America have done,
often in the most unobtrusive manner, to make
il successful

occasioned by the retirement of tho Conkilng
and Custom house faction to back seats. ana

men Is always selfish. narrow. and misclnev-
ous and their management, always weak

resent-as Mr.. COnkling represents In a
very conspicuous way - Grantism, pure ana
simple. The blind and unreasoning sub
seryiency to the personal fortunes OF the
President the unquestionng support of all his
measures, appointments, and policies which
have brought the party to defeat and the
country to disgrace, have been represented by
no man so thoroughly and completely as by
Roscoe Conkling. In all questionable transac-
tons by the President or the Presidents init
mates, no one has stood by SO faithfully as
he; no one has so eagerly adopted the Presl-
dents whims SO persistently and vlndicuveiy
pursued the gentlemen whom the President
favored with his hostility, or so constantly ana
offenslvcly asserted as party maxim that the
President could do no wrong. To nominate
him for the Presidency would be the next and
the closest possible thing to renomlnating Grant.

has upon it the smell OF this Administration.
The people are utterly sick and tired OF the
sight, sound, and smell of it.
There are several We prominent people in
this coilntry-stateslnen they are called, or
call thcmSelves-who may as well set back
their chairs. There has been great deal OF
cheating around the board during the past
seven or eight years, and the consequence is
a great popular yearning for new set OF
players and new deal. The list of shameful
exposures Of official corruption has grown to
such length as almost to defy enumeration
Suspicion attaches to almost everybody who
has been in active political life 1t is well defined
and positive with regard to every one who has
been connected with the present Administra-
ton as its advocate or defender. They have
outlived their opportunities, and may as well
gracefully retire. The Grant regime has not
only absolutely skinned the soil and gathered
all the growing crops, but it has blasted the
ground under it with barrcnness for the future.
The Republican party has but one chance left,
and that is to throw overheard the whole
Grant cargo. The New-York Convention can
help do it, or it can give itself up to the office
holders and Conkling delegation to Cincin-
natl, and "point to the past with pride" as
the ship goes down.

NEW-YORK At TIE NATIONAL CONVEN-
TI(IA


We take il to he an established fact, recOg-
nlzed by every Obseryant voter IL the Repub-
hcan patty and admitted by every one who is
not personally interested in ignoring it, that
the Hon. Roscoe ConklinG has not the slightest
possible chance of being nominated at CiDcin-
natl. We do not need to 20 further and say
that even if he had chance for the nOmina-
ton he would not have the ghost of a show
for an election. Were there ever a yGar that
might be accounted his, this is certainly not it !;
were there ever circumstances under which his
election, through some inconceivable faulty
of his opponents, or some blasting Of the in
teligence or soaring Of the vision of his pOliti-
cal associates, might fall within the range of
possibilities they are not present now. What
ever else may be, it is no time now to nOmi-
nate Roscoe COnklng. That is one Of the few
follies which the Republican party cannot
afford, for it is one which the Democrats, with
all their facility at laundering, could not
possibly Ovcrtop. And it is fact patent to
every thinking Republican in the country.
We know what blindness falls on Presidential
aspirants, but it can hardly be that Mr.. COnk-
ling is so blinded by ambition that he cannot
himself see, first, that he could not, If nomi-
mated, be elected; and, second, that there is
not the slightest possibility of his being nOmi-
mated. And yet, in the face of these obvious
facts, it is believed that a serious effort is
making to carry the New-York delegation
to Cincinnati for Mr.. Conkling. The Conven-
ton which meets at Syracuse next week will
be urged to nominate full Conkling delega-
ton, and to instruct the delegates TO vote as a
unit for that statesman. Outside of New York
he will not get vote; IN the State he could
not under any circumstances obtain majority
of the party vote as Presidential candidate.
And these facts are notorious. As Presidential
candidate he is simply an absurdity, and even
the men who are pushing his claims know it.
The influences at work III bis behalf are well
known. They are such as have brought the
party into disrcpute in the State; such as de-
feated the ticket In 1874, when they con-
trolled the Utica Convention. and brought
Mr. Conkling TO the froat with q speech TO

New-Hampshire has gone Republican by
about thousand majority. The Democrats
concede the election of Gov. Cheney, and OF a
majority in both Houses; the Republicans
claim that they will have nom Is to 20 ma
iority in the House, and from to
of the II Senators. 1t is what every
body has expected who read THE TRIBUNE
correspondence; and the methods of the cam
paign ought not to leave the victory much sig
nifcancc as a move on the national field. Never
theless it will have it. Every gratified party
paper will tomorrow be shouting, New
Hampshire leads tho way!' And the moral
weight of this cry will be distinct and
tangible influence in the politics of the
wear. Horace Greeley might have been
elected In 1872, if North Carolina had not
been bought CT counted away from him. The
Republican canvass this year will be strength
ened by yesterdays purchase of New-Hamp-
shire.

The Senate Committee opposes the coniirma-

the reasOns-as far as we now make them ont
that he ran against Gen. Butler for Con-
gress, and that he had 8 dispute with Gov
VIM Beach Lawrence about the notes to Whca-
toms international Law. 1t Uncomfortable that
the Senate can be guilty of such monumental
folly as this. Mr.. Dana's nomination was re-
ceived with universal favor To reject it on
paltry, partisan grounds, would be like the
rejection some years ago Of Attorney-General
Hoar; but with this dilterence-that was at a
time when the Republican leaders carried
everything before them. and could indulge in
the luxury of displaying the insolence OF
power: this would be display of equal
insolence and greater folly, at time
when they have to fight for every inch
of ground they stand on. If the Senate
wants to teach the disguised country that not
merely Grantism but also Republcanism has
to be repudiated, it could not take better
course than to reject Mr.. Dana because he
tried to defeat Gen. Butler

The ministerial statement read yesterday iii
both the French Senate and Chamber of Dep
uties is intended to serve the same part as
the annual Presidents message in this country.
The French Government declares that the pco-
pie have sanctioned the Republican constitution;
warns ofiice-hOlders that they must be
loyal, and promises new measures regard
ing university degrees and municipalities.
The Government also says that the present
taxes suffice, and that it will maintain the
policy of commercial freedom when revising
the treaties OF commerce. 1t favOrs reOrgan-
ling the army and keeping the navy IN an
advanced state of efficiency. 1t manfcsts good
will to foreign nations, and wisely deprecates
such military schemes as the Mexican expedition.
In general the tone of the message is progress
sive and satisfactory. The Government pro-
poses no violent changes, and discrcctly avoids
amnesty and other questions likely to create
luminosity among the rcactiOnists. 1t uphOlds
free trade, but that implies in France the
substantial protection afforded by the existing
tariff
