shop. What confidence can we have in a
company which is SO careless of the feelings
and interests of its patrons In the absence
of any law such as is proposed by Mr..
Morton it might be well for our telegraph
companies to guarantee their service or
to institute branch which could be
guaranteed. Suppose the Western Union
or the Atlantic and Pacific were to
say tomorrow that they would send over
their wires dispatches of which no record
would be kept at either end. This would
solve the problem. Customers who wished
to avail themselves of this could sign con-
tract which might be printed guaranteeing
the company against loss for any blunder
that might occur in transmission We be-
lieve it is to protect itself against suits for
alleged mistakes that copies are preserved
of all dispatches. But unless some way is
found of protecting the telegraph, at least
from junk shop dealers and curious news
paper correspondents, the whole system will
fall into disrepute.

The Protection OF the Telegra ph.

The New York Times takes judicious
ground on the question of protection to the
telegraph which Mr.. Morton has introduced
the House procured quantity of kilograms
which had been sold by the Atlantic and
Pacific Telegraph Company for waste paper.
President Eckert sent word to the committee,
hoping that the kilograms which he had sold
to the junk dealer would be held sacred.
test. but has continued to sort out the heap
to find evidence. When we think of this
mass of telegraphic matter in the hands of a
committee of the House, aided by jury of
enterprising correspondents, we can readily
imagine the sensation they could produce.
We had an illustration of this some time ago
in series of personal and domestic de-
spatches of the Secretary of the Navy, the
publication of which was an outrage. They
had no bearing whatever upon the case before
the House and had no business in print. AS
the Times aptly says:-"Now, a telegraphic
despatch is, to all intents and purposes, pri-
vate correspondence 1t has, or should
have, all the inviolability which, in free
countries, attaches to q letter, and any in
reference with this rule should be so
hemmed in with checks and safeguards that
its abuse would be impossible. The laxity
which now prevails in regard to it in the
practice of Washington politicians, and we
fear, also, in the practice of the telegraph
companies, is discrcditable AID dangerous.
The whole subject deserves careful consid-
Grafton at the hands of the Senate committee
to whom it has been referred.
We cannot pass from this question with
out censuring General Eckert for his unpar-
donable carelessncss in permitting the copies
of kilograms over his wire to 90 to Junk

Tho War with tho sioux.

The rumor of fight with the Sioux, the
destruction of an entire village and victory
for United States troops not commanded by
General Crook which reached US a few days
ago from Omaha is repeated In a modified
shape by our correspondent at Crooks head
quarters, upon the headwaters Of Goose
Greek, under ths shadow of Cloud
Peak, in the Big Horn country The
news in both instances came from the Indian
agencies where the Sioux not at war remain.
The disposition of General Terry's forces, as
detailed in the letter of our correspondent
with that commander, makes it doubtful
that allowing time for the news to travel, a
fight could have taken place, except with
the scouting party sent up Powder
River. News of q fight with Clusters
detachment, which, all going we'll, was
to have been about the 21st ult. upon
Rosebud Greek, where Crooks battle of the
18th ult. was fought, would probably reach
US as swiftly from Terry's camp as round
about by the Indian agencies. STILL as it is
uncertain whittier Sitting Bull went after
turning back Crook, there may be grain of
would have certainly brought him in contact
with one or other Of Terrys detachments,
but if he retired further into the heart of the
Rosebud Mountains the great fight Of the
campaign is still q long way off Crook can
not move without reinforcements, and they
will not be on the ground for another fort
night or three weeks. This long inaction of
the celebrated Indian fighter proves conclu-
svely the superior strength of the In
dians, backed by their intimate knowledge
of the country, which makes us hope
that unless fortunate chance has brought
a considerable body of our troops suddenly
upon the Indians, we may not hear of
battle before Terry has reunited his forces
and Crook received his reinforcements. In
the interval we might ask, with some en-
phasis, Who is responsible for this war:

Grant and Yaryan.

The documents which we print this
morning seem to render it almost certain
that Yaryan, the internal revenue deteo-
tive, was removed with great precipitation,
and not only without adequate cause but
without cause at all. The act is the Presi-
dents own and the republican party cannot
properly be held accountable for it unless
it accepts and adopts it. TO do this there is
apparently no disposition on the part OF the
republican leaders. Already there is talk OF
asking General Grant to dismiss Babcock from
his civil appointment as Commissioner of
Public Buildings and Grounds and to take
the necessary steps for his dismissal from tho
army AS q matter of course the President
will decline to do any such thing 1t was
out of his blind friendship for his secretary
and crony, if We are to believe the weight OF
the testimony already printed in regard to
this singular action, that General Grant dis.
missed the detective. Even the reasons as.
signed for his course, which would have
been more than sufficient if well founded,
seem to fall to the ground unsupported,
and the President, according to present
appearances, is in the pitiable atti-
tude of dismissing a faithful officer
only because he discovered the wrong
doings of one of the Presidents official
family If this is in reality the case, there
can be little wonder that the republican
leaders are alarmed and wish to assume
none of the responsibility. The President,
however, seems willing to take it all himself,
and intimates desire for the party to go its
own way for the future, leaving him to pur-
sue his during the rest of his term. There is
an odd kind of fairness in this which no
public man except General Grant would be
likely to think of, much less to adopt The
President has all along regarded his high
Office as sort of personal appendage to sue.
cessful military leader, and his regret seema
to have been that he could not always exer-
else his official prerogatives according to his
own sweet will. Now, however, that there
is nothing more for himself, and since he
can only serve his party by keeping within
party bounds, he is anxious for the party to
take care Of itself and leave him to himself.
Such remarkable proposition could only
emanate from such a source, and as the daya
of the Presidents power are short and he can
do less harm with the party out of sympathy
with him than if he held it in accord, it il
best, perhaps, that he should be allowed ia
60 his own way.

The Centennial Sermons Yesterday

The intensity of the heat yesterday,
which, although it might be considered as
illustrative of the warmth of religious feel
ing that should animate the Christians
soul when contemplating the great works
and mercies of the Creator still exercised
such q prostrating influence on the poor
tenement of clay that the thoughts of the
most devout worshipper wandered away in
spite of him from the draughts dispensed bv
the preachers from the living fountains of
truth to those that afford a temporary relief
from the pangs of 1eshly thirst that are suf-
fered when the thermometer marks nearly
one hundred degrees in the shade. Not
withstanding this drawb back the churches
of New York and Brooklyn were well
filled, and the several ministers took
occasion to base their sermons on the great
text supplied by the Centennial of American
independence. This grand rallying point,
where professors of every form of religious
faith could unite in celebrating one of the
greatest events connected with human prog
ress. was treated of with all the cloquence
for which our ministers are Justly celebrated,
and many useful lessons for our future guild
ance were drawn from the experiences of the
past century. The spirit of sound patriot
ism breathed through every discourse, and
if here and there preacher was found to
wander from his text into the byways of
sectarian discussion the exceptions only
proved the rule that our people desire to be
united at least in loving their country.

England and the Eastern Question.
The present sentiments of the English
liberals are doubtless accurately reflected in
our special cable despatch from London
with regard to the troubles in the East. The
party still led by Gladstone and Bright
would naturally oppose the active policy
pursued by Disraeli in the East, because
it was not their policy while in power,
and because the alternative of keeping quiet
amid all the broil and making money out of
the troubles of others would commend
itself to the mass of English voters, par
ticularly when the alternative of war would
bring them to the side of rotten, corrupt
goes deep enough with Englishmen, there is
pugnacious national feeling that goes
deeper still, and in the event of
a broad imperial policy, demanding
the sacrifice of war; Disraeli, who
knows his countrymens strong points
and weaknesses as well as Palmerston knew
them could sweep the peace party out of
sight with ten minutes speech 1t would
but be necessary to say that English suprem-
acy in Asia was endangered to stigmatize
the opponents Of his policy MS the peace-nt-
any-price party to add that the price this
time was national degradation and a large
loss in pounds, shillings and pence, and
to appeal to 1.-The flag that bravod a
thousand years the battle and the
breeze" 1t certainly looks as though
the English Cabinet was convinced that
England cannot long keep out of the
Turkish quarrel. Patting the volunteers
on the back by letting them hold re-
view in Hyde Park is very safe thing to
do; for, if they are haply not wanted, no
harm will be done. They have the makings
of fine soldiers in their ranks, but great
number Of these quiet, respectable citizen
soldiers are sober fathers of families, who
would much prefer the indefinite continue
ton of their holiday marching to even act
ing as a home guard in real war.
1t will probably be some days before we
hear of actual hostilities between the Ser
vians and Turks, at least anything beyond
desultory skirmishing. In the meantime it
is not likely that any important change in
the attitude of the Powers not at present en-
gagged will take place. To Servia and Con-
stantinople we must apparently look for the
next news of consequence, the condition of
affairs at the Turkish capital being quite as
critical as the Turkish condition in the
field.

may become winning one. He has fair
prospects of success. But he should reserve
himself 1t will do very well for Tammany
politicians like Frank Spinola to harangue
crowds about everything going to the bad
and this being the centennial year of cor
ruption and misgovernment but it is not
what we expect from candidate for the
Presidency. The republicans can answer
fire of defamation with great ability. They
have their own burdens. Much will depend
upon the letter of acceptance from Governor
Hayes. If this letter is concession to the
worst elements of the republican party, if it
trims on finance, civil service or one term, if
it shows the Governor to be light,
negative man, it will aid Iilden.
The Yaryan case is on its face a small,
Insignificant matter, and remembering that
Yaryan is only detective we are disposed
to dismiss it as q detectives romance. At
the same time no pebble is so small that in
certain conditions it may not sway current,
and even Yaryan may become prominent
feature in the canvass. If the democrats
can show that General Grant has been a
party to whskey or other frauds it will
harm the canvass of Hayes Just now the
campaign rapidly takes shape. To-day it
shifts in one direction, to morrow in another
1t will not do for Hayes or Tilden to make
mistakes. Hayes cannot disembody himself
and float through the fight like a phan-
tom. He must bear the burden of his
party and the administration. Tilden can
not carry his canvass on any system of
Chinese tactics-beating the reform gong and
winning by terrifying his enemies. He will
have to carry the record of his party and
meet the apprehensions of the country as to
what would result if it came into power.
We trust there will be a good old-fash
ioned Hail Columbia canvass, with patriot
ism, good feeling and all the gracious
attributes of this centennial time. But this
hope rests upon frail foundation. 1t looks
like a canvass of strenuous, earnest con-
troversy. The consolation under all is that
whether we have Hayes or Tilden we shall
have a good President, and we shall cele-
brate our Fourth of July with every recur-
ring season as heartily as we hope to do it
tomorrow.

HINT FOR THE FoURTH.-Our authori-
ties should exercise the greatest eau
ton on the Fourth of July. There
will be unusual displays of fireworks
and lanterns. We generally pay a terrible
price for our Fourth in the way of fires
and the loss Of life. We think that an in
telligent public opinion WILL sooner or later,
do away with these fire displays But we
shall have more than usual show tomorrow
the authorities should take the utmost pre-
cautions The police should all be on duty;
the firemen should be at their posts. If
necessary militia force should be kept in
reserve to aid the hremen and police in
case of need. A little prudence may pre-
vent terrible calamity. Since our people
will play with fire on the Fourth let us see
that as little harm as possible ensues.
