ANOTHER PROPHECY.

Inc New YORK Herald has discovered
another candidate for the St. Louis con-
vsntion that it claims possesses advantages
superior to all others. 1t draws compar-
ison betwten Senator Bayard and Ex- Gov
Parker, Of New Jersey, and states that The
latter has advantages over the former, be-
cuuse he has been out of public life, and
could not be prejudiced by quotations from
bis speeches OIL the currency question. We
feel authorized in stating that Mr.. Baysrd's
speeches are open to all to quote from Is
much as they shall desire, for there is
naught in them but that which is given up.
on foundation of honest convictions, and
we'll fortified by sound argument.
The Herald speaks as follows: Bearing
in mind that no infationist or ssmi-inAa.
ZIONIST can carry New York, and that the
soft money democrats will not consent to
the nomination of Thurman or Tilden, let
us inquire whether any candidate can at
the same time carry New York and unite
the party. There is no Western man who
can do both, but there are two good hard
money democrats in the East who would
command full party vote in all sections
Of the country. These two are Senator
Bayard, of Delaware, and Ex-Governor
Parker, Of New Jersey. If the currency
question were the sole issue there would
be little TO choose between these honest
and popular statesmen. Senator Bayard
has wider national reputation and ranks
higher in the scale Of abilities and accom-
plishments, bat Governor Parker has never
been brought into sharp collision with the
infation!sts, as Mr.. Bayard was in the cur
rency debates in the Senate. There is no
hard money candidate on whom the demo-
cratic party could be united with SO little
humiliation to the West as Governor
Parker, who is perfectly sound and trust
worthy, but has never been called to do
any public act which is specially offensive
to Western sentiment. Unlike Governor
Tilden, he has not been charged with de-
siring and seeking the defeat of the demo.
cratic party in an important election ina
sister State. Unlike Senator Thurman, be
cannot be accused of ingratitude to his
immediate constituents, who have given
him Office and honors. Like Senator Bay.
ard, his attitude toward the Western dem.
ocrats has been marked by perfect courtesy
and candor, but be has the advantage Of
Bayard in having been out of public life
during the currency discussions, 80 that be
cannot be prejudiced by quotation from hi.
speeches. There is no genuine hard money
man on whom the democratic part coult
more easily unite if the currency were the
only question involved in the canvass.

DISADVANTAGES OF WEALTH.

There are many disadvantages in being
wealthy. And upon the other hand, there
are equally as many, if not more, in being
poor, which must have lead to the remark
so often quoted ut is no crime to be poor,
but it is dreadful inconvenient." But
there is one relief that the poor man has,
and the rich man does not enjoy, and that
is, freedom from the appeals Ola begging
community. The latter Of these two pill
lars to society is made the target for the
supplication. of those interested in the
erection of new churches, and for all the
fairs given in the town where he resides
he is assessed at FIVE and ten dollars. His
fine residence is fascinating to the eye Of
the mendicant, who exhibits a shrunken
limb, and other Affections shocking to the
sight He is called upon at all times to
read dilapdated manuscript setting forth
the dire needs OF the unfortunate who
bears it. All regard the wealthy man, as
necessarily, in accordance with Christian
ideas, liberal man, one who has amassed
his means to bestew them upon others,
and reap his reward hereafter in the
spirit that "he who giveth to the poor
lendeth to the Lord" But if the wealthy
man recognizes the truthfulness of this
scriptural injunction, he does not very
strictly observe it, as he invariably re-
CARDS himself as the poorest person in the
world, and consequently the most persecu-
ted. 1t is something that he cannot con.
vince the world of, although, he is more
convinced Of it himself every time he cuts
the coupons from his bonds or lsoks owe,
his bank book to see how rapidly the
thousands are accumulating, or how lon,
it will be before he can salt down the frs
million.
The latest phase we have of the disad
vantages of wealth is in the enbarass
ments it has caused to the widow Of tn,
late A. T. Stewart. Hardly had the re
mains Of her husband been deposited il
their final resting place before she was be
ssiged by basket full Of letters asking TO
aid. Some were from the managers .
charitable institutions, others gave pite
GUS wall from the trustees of some church
who wished to liquidate large debt upol
the edi6ce, while host Of them represen
ted the inpecunious state Of families VII,
had lost their all by some cslamitous cir
cumstance. But she has greater troubl
to contend with now than she found in tn
basketful Of aims asking missives. A
batallian Of relatives have sprung up, al
of whom are pleased to state that they ar
blood relatives Of the late A. T.. Stewart
and although hswas extensively advertiset
a. modern Crnsus none Of them knew
The Morning herald., 1876-06-08

that they had rich relative living in New
York, worth millions Of dollas, until they
read with fearful eyes of his demise
throguh the newspapers.
None of them think it matter of prob
ability that they were related to him, but
are positive that there were consanguinsous
ties existing between them. Some Of them
came over from Ireland in the same boat
with him, ate hard tack and salt herring
in the steerage in the same mess with the
lately departed, but separated upon arri-
wing on the shores of America, and often
longed to know what had become of HIM
but could, hear no tidings until it came
through the press announcing his death.
One Of these letters says that Though poor
the writer is yet relative Of the late A.
T. Stewart, and that blood is thicker than
water, but whether it is thick enough to
CONCEAL an acknowledged relationship by
Mrs Stewart with the writer remains to be
seen. The number Of kinsmen that have
already announced themselves is estimated
at two thousand, and they are still coming
in. Ifthey keep on the accumulated sales
Of the paper which the announcements are
written on will net enough to
distribute penny to each, which
is about as much if not more
than any Of them will ever get. This GER
tainly presents case Of the disadvantages
of being wealthy. 1t is very prsplexing
situation to have an army Of creditors
about enss ears; but when it comes 10
thousands Of begging relations, then the
object at which these are directed must be-
gin to study the easiest mode Of commit.

TIE REPUBLICAN PARTYS DI
LEMHA.

After storm there is always 4 calm,
and that calm has now settled over Wash
ington and Republican politicians. The
session of the House during the reading Of
Mr.. Blaine's private correspondence, as he
il pleased TO term it, was one Of intense ex
citement, and far eclipsed that brought
about by the Amnesty debate. The House
has settled down to routine business, and
the politicians have engaged faithfully in
the work Of estimating what damage the
ex-speaker has brought to the party that
was once proud to acknowledge him, the
noblest exponent Of its priaciples The
leader whe built a shrine Of patriotism
surrouneed with fanatical ideas, and ap-
psared himself - the ornament upon its
TOP for sthers TO bow down and worship,
has lost his lus,re. The strong dogmas
which he dedicated to the Republican par.
ty as a new doctrine, that would profit
more than the worship oftbe old, have been
exploded, by his ewn faithlessness, and the
apostates have returned again TO the field
Of action to find more worthy teacher
than the one who fell in the very plenti-
tude of his power. There is patent cause
to believe that Mr.. Blaine himself, is not
insensible to the depth Of disadvantage he
has buried himself as candidate for nom
ination At Cincinnati. If not, he is guilty
of an assurance, unsurpassed even by his
disrespect in storming the House with
presumption and impotence.
There are currents in politics as we'll as
in bodies of water by which the tides are
to be judged. In the Republican stream
. counter current has set in. 1t bears the
political barks away from the course they
once took, and shuns Blaine as no longer a
beacon, but dangerous shoal upon which
they will be stranded. They resemble the
mariner who is surrounded by many lights,
without knowledge Of the safety Of any
Of them sufficient to steer toward Upon
Blaine they had placed the highest hopes
Of the party's ambition for the preservation
Of power, around him clustered the bright
sunshine Of statesmanship, patriotism, in
tesrity and winning political influence, but
in one grand sweep of the broom of inves-
tiration these beautiful attributes have been
cleared from him, and he is now help
less cripple in the complicated field Of pol
itics. He has fallen, and with the fall, the
bright hopes Of his party lie crushed and
bleeding. This i the pulse Of the Repub-
ljcap party, md hey are in ssAch Of some

The Boston papers speak very highly of
the character of Mr.. Mulligan, the witness
against Blaine. He is fifty years old; has,

federal authority in case Of riot, instead OF
remaining at his post and doing his sworn
duty. In politics, more than in any other
department of life, the true test of merit is
success. When policy after faithful trial
does not accomplish its object it is proper
to change it when ruler like Chamber
lain or Packard after fair opportunity does
not create contentment and prosperity by
his methods reasonable modesty would
lead him to retire and let other methods
have trial. Governor Hayes understands
this and it will be found, if he should
be chosen President, that he is not the
man to continue policy which, by the
constant confessions of Messrs. Boutwell, and
Morton and its other promoters, has failed
utterly. He does not believe in the ''bloody
shirt, and the politicians in the South who
have so long misruled under the protection
of the federal government may as well take
notice of that fact
The New York herald. [volume] (New York [N.Y.]) 1840-1920, 1876-08-12

In the report which Mr. Boutwell, has pre-.
sented to the Senate in regard to Mississippi
affairs he gives as q remedy for disorders in
the South the following recommendation
from his committee Estates in anarchy or
wherein the affairs are controlled by bodies
of armed men should be denied representa-
ton in Congress" Another recommends
ton is that '.if these disorders increase, OF
even continue, and if mild measures shall
prove Intellectual" the United States will be
required to remand the State to Terrific
rial condition" Does this sweeping propo-
sition, for which there is no just cause,
mean more than is seen on the face? May it
not also mean that the electoral votes Of
Mississippi and other States are to be thrown
out in counting the Presidential ball
lots on the pretext that the South
ern States "are controlled by politi-
cal organizations composed largely Of
armed men whose common purpose
is to deprive the negroes of the free exercise
of the right of suffrage and to establish and
maintain the supremacy of the white line
democracy, as the report says? If the adj
ministraton leaders dream of such On inter-
ference they will be rudely awakened But
the Boutwell, report seems to squint toward
such arbitrary interference, and there ara
Senators enough who would gladly perpe<
trate this outrage if they dared.

The Sentinel mt His ton
Safe.

We are afraid that the people of this great
city, with that. ingratitude which is the
shame of republics, do not appreciate at his
true worth the great man who is now Mayor
of New York, and whose sands of official
life are swiftly running out. The one virtue
which is last to be rewarded is modesty, and
this has always stood in the Mayors way.
If His Honor had been an obtrusive, ambi-
tious man, he might now be candidate for the
Vice Presidency, an office for which he was
pressed by the ladies of Sorosis, the man.
ayers of the Founding Asylum and other
useful and representative bodies. But
Wickham gave way to Uncle Sammy MS the
elder soldier, and now proposes to retire
from public life to his Long Island farm.
This avowed purpose adds tender grace to
the closing acts of his official career, and it
is with deep emotion that we read such an
announcement as the following
Mayor wckham, Police Commissioners Erhardt and
Chilus and superintendent Wallng met last night

the authorities might be informed without delay II
trouble should occur.
Our readers are, perhaps, not aware that
we have been on the brink of n social revo-
luton. The thermometer has been rushing
up to eleven and twelve hundred in the
shade, and mems passions are naturally Mt a
fever heat. The keen ear of Wickham, ever
on the alert for the public veal. heard the
first sound of danger. He was then in the soli-
tary retirement of Huntington, preparing his
farewell address, which he proposes to deliver
to the American people with musical accom-
paniment at Gilmore's Garden. At once, like
Cincnnatus, o. Cromwell and the late
lamented G.. Washington, the Father of his
Country. he threw aside all pleasure and
came to his post of duty. Our readers only
partly know the dangers he encountered

The Weather.

Between the Mississippi and the Alle-
ghany Mountains rain continues to pre-
vail, and decided rise in the Ohio and
its tributaries is to be expected The large
area affected by this rainfall will also in
crease, by it's drainage, the volume. OF the
Mississippi waters below Cairo, but it is inn
probable that the river will reach its danger
level at any point. Cooler weather, with
light rains, prevails on the lakes, where,
however, brisk winds may be felt during to-
day. In the Northwest low barometer still
induces strong winds from southerly and
easterly points, but the weather in that re-
gion yesterday afternoon was moderately
warm and clear. The changes in atmos-
pheric pressure between midnight md
noon, especially along the Atlantic coast,
are very considerable, but the high
barometer which is now central over the
North Atlantic States is moving steadily
eastward, and we may expect warm south
erly winds with local thunder storms dur
ing the next few days. The heat will, how
ever, be moderated somewhat by the cold
wave from the Northwest which will move
over the lake region and the northern parts
of the Middle and Eastern States. The in
fiuence of this cold area has already been
felt as far east as Toledo and Cleveland, Ohio.
The weather to-day ct New York will be
warmer and cloudy. A thunder storm mar
pass over or near the city in the afternoon.

SENATOR MoRToN opened the campaign in
Indiana at Indianapolis last night with q
speech, in which he took occasion to rebuke
the constant slandering of public men and
public administration in this country. 1t
was n manly and needed protest against
the abuse of freedom of speech, and we
trust it will have some effect in diverting
political parties from the crusades of SANDER

Tho River and Harbor Swindle.

We can hardly read with patience the
details Of the River and Harbor Appropria-
ton bill as passed by both houses. In q
time Of general poverty and business depres-
sion, when the country needs economy, q
reform" House, in connection with the
Senate, gives away five millions Of dollars
''for the improvement of rivers and har-
bors.' 1t seems that every wildcat Con-
gresham who had ditch or q pond in his
district demanded an appropriation to
make it canal or harbor. SO the wildcat
Congressman united their demands, 'sloc-
rolled" bill, and, by the sheer pressure of a
dumb majority, passed it. AS the reform
House passed this bill it was over seven mill
IONS Now it has been reduced to five. 1t
is safe to say that not half of this money
will ever 60 into rivers and harbors. There
are some works of public utility, like the
opening of the channel at He'll Gate, which
should be completed. The improvement
of the Falls of st. Anthony, of the Des
Moines Rapids, of the Great Kanawha
River, of Charleston Harbor, of the
bar at Galveston Bay, are works that will
commend themselves to the public iudg-
ment. But nine-tenths of the money should
have been saved. 1t happens to be a Presi-
Dental year. Members desire political
capital at home, and had better gain capital
than TO win an appropriation from the Treas
ury. The whole business is n new abuse,
has grown into magnitude within the past
few years and should be checked We hope
the PRESIDENT will be brave enough to veto
this bill.
