NEW TREASURES FROM CYPRUS.

The success of the Loan Exhibitions suddenly
opens to our city surprising, an Invaluable
opportunity. The Metropolitan Museum, being
entirely relieved Of its former debt finds itself
in n position to acquire, with little additional
aid, one of the rarest collections OF antiquities
in the world. Gen: di CesnOla, Consul OF the
United States for Cyprus, has continued his
excavations on the island during the last three
wears, and he has been rewarded by discoveries
only second IN interest and positive value to
those of DR.. Schliemann in the Troad, and
Marette in Egypt. After securing the precious
spois of Golgos and Idalium which now make
our Metropolitan Museum unique in the world,
he explored the site of KOurium, near Paphos, on
the southern coast and there found, 40 feet
below the surface of the soil, four treasure
chambers belonging to temple, with all their
stores intact.
This remarkable collection embraces 1,5OO
objects IN gold, silver, gems, bronze, alabaster,
and terra Gotta. The indications are that the
vaults must have been in charge OF the
priests, who alone possessed the secret OF their
location, and who, being driven away by bat
tie or revolution, somewhere about 600 b. u,
left them unknown to the world until now.
Among the treasures are diadems, rings, ear
rings. necklaces, and bracelets. There are cyl
inders of Babylonian origin, some OF which
have been ascribed to as old date as 1000 B e.
Some of the intdJIi are said to be exquisite {:
one of them represents Pluto and Proserpine,
another Borcas, marvelously scuptured, and
another Venus The stones belonging 10 the
Egyptian and Assyrian periods are onyx, agate,
carnelian, chalcedony, jasper, and sard. There
are silver pdterG, cups, vases, bracelets, anu
lets. and belts some of which are so much
oxidized that they crumble at the touch.
There are many specimens OF terra cOtta WORK |;
more than 800 bronze or copper utensils; four
large lions heads of bronze; eight heads OF
bulls with enamels in the eyes. Since the
mummy of Queen Ah-hotep, arraycd in all her
superb jewery, was found mt Thcbcs. few
years ago, and "Priam's chest (as Schliemann
confidingy calls it was unearthed beside the
ScRan Gate, there has been no such discovery
of ancient jcwelry.
Three cities now compete for Gen. di Ces-
nolas collection. Paris offers 100000 francs
London GlO,00O and NewIorll has the re-
fusal for three days, the last of which Will
expire this evening The trustees of the Metro
poitan Museum have acted with n prompt
ness and an energy which entitle them to the
gratitude of the city, no less than to It's imme-
date support. They have already secured
SOS, 900 gold, and further sum of $1,000
is all that is needed to give Us the wonderful
collection. But this latter sum must be sub
scribed to-day. We do not need to urge the
appeal of the gentlemen representing the
Museum. We came near losing the present
collection, the rare value of which our citizens
now appreciate let us not lose the only chance
of making it complete and magnificent

II must be already evident that the prospect
of having any reform in the machinery of
counting the electoral vote at the time when
it is most needed is by no means bright
Should the contest over the Presidency be
adjourned to the halls of Congress, even after
the Returning Boards have given in their ver-
diets, each party would probably be too sus-
pic;ous of the other to allow any change to be
made in the present system, lest 1t might
inure to the others advantage. wise and
patriotic agreement on some middle ground
might save the country from great misfortune,
and at all events, put an end to disastrous
suspense. But if the conflict goes so far, 1t
will go further. We must therefore be con-
tent with the electoral system as it is until an
opportunity comes in the calm of political
armistice to give 1t the attention it demands
In view of this fact, the practical consldcra-
tions set forth elsewhere in Washington let
ter with reference to various contingencies in
the counting of The vote, are of interest. Some
of them, however, are contingencies which are
never likely to grow into probabilities, and
several have only become subjects OF reluctant
discussion because the intemperance OF foolish
partisans has forced them into view. Never
theless this review tells clearly what the con-
tngencies and the certainties are, and those
who wish to get comprehensive notion OF
all of them, will find it worth attention.

Mr.. Blaine says very emphatically that he
could not be President of the Senate if he
would, and that he certainly would not, under
the present circumstances, if he could 1t is
noticeable that Mr. Blaine regards the present

New-York tribune., 1876-11-20

We suppose the Mayor may be expected to
send in nominations to-day for the offices OF
| Corporation Counsel and Controller, for the
ensuing four years. For Corporation Counsei
there is no doubt that he will renominate Mr.
Whitney, who has been model olncer, ana
has been of especial service to the city IN pro-
tecting it from unjust or eXtortlonate claims,
while he has greatly reduced even the legitl-
mate EXPENSES of his Office. In the Controllers
office there has been an idle story that
Mr.. Green was likely to resist
change, and to deny the authority
of the Mayor to appoint his successor
Mr. Green is very fond of power, and very
obstinate but we suppose neither quality
could be developed quite strongly enough 10
lead him into step like this. The authority
of the Mayor to appoint the Controller Is pre-
cisely as clear as it was to appoint the Colpo-
ration Counsel, or the Commissioner of Public
Works. or the President of the Department OF
Police. All this he has done without ohJec-
ton or question, and we presume he VIII TO-
day appoint a Controller in the same way.
So far the Louisiana Returning Board Is
doing well-much better than might have been
resolutions providing for the admission to Its
sessions of five representatives of each delega-
ton present from the North, so that each
party, through its chosen deputies, may witness
the count This is not all. Counsel for each
side are to be given hearing on all disputed
points and are to be allowed to examine re-
turns as they are opened, in order to satisfy
themselves that they have not been tampered
with. New-Orleans dispatches give some idea
of the favorable impression the action OF the
Returning Board has made. If its conduct
throughout should be no less impartial than 1t
has been up to this point, the Democratic
press will have before it the largest meal OF
crow on record, and the people will make up
their minds that some good can come even ont
of New Orleans. The lClst charitable view OF
this action will set it own to the presence
of so many distinguished men from the North,
and it is difficult to deny the force OF the sug-
gestion. 1t cannot but have a wholesome
effect, when you are counting votes, to have
call the world and the rest of mankind look
ing over your shoulder.
New-York tribune., 1876-11-20

A certain number of very intelligent and very
sincere people earnestly desire to introduce in this
country the practice of cremation as a
means of disposing of the bodies of the
dead. Their purpose is at least thoroughly
respectable. They believe the present mode
of burial prejudicial to public health and it seems
to be also offensive to their tastes. Very few as yet
agree with them, but none fail to respect their
intentions, or object to their pntting them into prac
tce in cases over which they have legitimate
control. But it would be pity to see
the whole business turned into q CHASTITY
joke by carting the mountains the remains of
man dead and embalmed months ago, over whom
grotesquc parody on burial service long since
performed. If cremation is advocated the ground
of the public health, this performance is far more
likely to prejudice than promote iii if on the ground
of good taste, the cremationists ought TO raise a
subscription to get this scheme abandoned.

Mr.. Pinchback is keeping a sharp eye out
for his own chances in Louisiana, and declares
that if the election of the Returning Board is
legal his election as Senator is also legal, both
being creatures of the same Legislature. The
argument is a shrewd one, but its personal
application is abOminable. Mr. Pinchback is
distressing enough as a claimant; let him be
satisfied with this bad eminence.

The loss of South Carolina to Gov. Tlden
while Wade Hampton is elected, is curious
commentary on the loyalty of the Southern
Democrats to their party. That the possess
sion of their State Governments seems vastly
more important to them than the election of a
President can easily be believed, but that they
would use every effort TO secure the one at the
expense of the other, seemed hardly credible
This year, for the fist time since the war,
Democratic victory was possible, and yet Gov.
Tilden will probably miss the Presidency
simply for the lack of vote which the South
might easily have given him, if it had fulfilled
it's promise to be "solid." From all quarters
there come reports of Southern indifference to
the fate of the national ticket, as compared
with results in the States, and in New-Orleans
the politicians are talking of selling out Gov.
Tilden as coolly as if he were a candidate for
the pettiest local Office. These men do not
represent, probably. the better class of the
Southern Democrats. such as they are,

Watering the Subject.

The Herald publishes an editorial arti-
Gle this morning in which no attempt is
made to prove the allegation made in that
paper In two previous numbers, that
Mr.. ORyrne received "21 votes" in the
late Democratic caucus, and by infer.
ence he was cheated out of two when he
received but l6. O'Byrne's article is in
reply to card of Esquire Publ, in our
issue OF Saturday, and the remarks of
the GAZETTE Of the day previous. It is
the most egotistical Production we have
seen in print for long time, "Mr.
OByrne" appearing only twenty times
IN short column. We have no quarrel
with Mr.. OByrne, and want none with
the publishers of the Herald. What we
said we deemed necessary to vindicate
the Democratic Caucus from the impli-
cation cast upon it by that paper. We
kept or desired to keep our remarks
within the line Of facts.
The GAzETTE's defence 0! the rights

cratic party in Wilmington or in oa1
State, our party would have been in the
same condition that the Republican
party now Is, and our meetings would
have been disagreeable places for on,
working men and mechanics. The whole
effort of the article in the Herald seem,
to be to array the Irish voters in mas
against the Democratic Party, so tha
Mr. OByrne may place himself at thei
head and threatened TO do so and so i
so and so is not done. While th,
GAZETTE does not defend the side O
either party in the late contest for Dele
