The Democracy aro just now having their
own domestic troubles. It is known TINT,
un1css tile Republican party mike such a
nomination as to virtually abandon tho con-
test, the Democrats cannot elect n candidate
without the vote of tho State Of Now York,
Mr.. T1LpEH has won national fame as q re-
former, first by bis voluntary and vigorous
investigation and formal prosecution Of the
TWEED Ring ending in the conviction Of the
majority Of TINT gang, and the recovery Of
civil judgments for tho amounts stolen and,
second, by his equally vigorous disruption of
tho great Canal Ring, and tho prosecution
of tho guilty men1bcrs Of that party. This
fact haa commended him rs a refor1ner to
tho American people, and has made him IN
eligible candidate for tho votes Of the whole
Independent party, who 1nay not find more
acceptable man in tho field as q candidate.
So irresistible was the logic of facts that
date fow weeks ago was considered FORE
gone conclusion. But official corruption and
dishonesty, however baflled, can hate. 1t is
vindictive, it is revengoful. Consequently,
TwEEp's Tammany and the Canal Ring
thieves haro vowed tho defeat OF Tu4DEN.
Within month tho men upon whom Tn-
DEN had placed the brand Of infamy, md
whom he had made disgorge tho public
plundor, and whose profitable business Of
robbery ho had destroyed, put up their three
hundred thousand dollars and purchased the
New York Express, and mado it an anti
T1hprH organ. They thon moved further !;
they purchased tho Now York 1KorM md
converted that paper into an anti-TnDEN
organ. 10th organs are now Engaged in
proving that Tt1pEx is tho weakest Of all
candidates; that ho cannot carry New York; !;
and TINT defeat is certain if he be tho caniii-
date.
This il warning to all honest mon. If
you soo man picking pocket, robbing a
house. or setting fire to store, the safest
policy is to turn aside and let the wickedness
60 on, lest, nert day, you be denounced in
tile organs for haTing injured tho party by
insisting On honesty and integrity. T1lDzs,
who alone Of the Democratic candidates
might hnvs = 1arge support outside of hiB
party, is to b. slaughtered in his own party
because he prosecuted TWEED and his asao-
ciates, md broke up tho Now York Caaal

Wo have several times called attention to
tho demands of tho several Pacifo Railway
Companies, which demands are growing in
insolence and III magnitude, It will DO re-
menbered that Congress made donation to
these roads of many millions OF acres Of
public lands. The Government also donated
to tho Central and Union Pacific Railway
Companies United States bouds bearing per
cent interest, and running thirty years, to
thd amount Of sG4, 100000 Tho Companies
have failed to pay tho interest on the bonds,
which has all been paid by the United
states, except small amount paid In the
way of charges for transportation The re-
suit ia that the amount Of principal aud in
terest duo on these bond8 now, In May, 1876,
reaches $87,977,353. The bonds have IN
average OF twenty years moro to run, aud nt
tho end of tho term the Unitod States will
hava cluim for principal md interest
amounting to $135,000,U00 secured by

These Railway Companies have selected oil
the lands they need for ali purposes Of the
road; tho officers havo taken all the eligible
town sites, al tho water stations hayo been
appropriated, and all the agricultural lands
have boon disposed Of, mud tho Companies
find themselves with some fifteen or twenty
millions Of acres Of lind which aro compare
lively valuoleas, not being worth, on m aver
age, 10 cents an acre. Therefore, they now
make now demand on Congress, and
committee Of tho Senate hayo reported In
favor OF granting it.
The grant Of land To the Union and Gen.
trail Pacific Roads was 1t the ratio Of Il, 800
acres per mile. This Committee now propose
that the United 6tates shall purchase thorcfu
lind at $3.50 pcr acre, or at tho rate OF
$32, 600 per mile OF the road that the United
states ahall allow the Companies interest on
that sum at tho rata. OF 4 per cent, con-
pounded, and that tho Companies shall, in
small annual payments, mike up the def
cheney, and thus bo discharged of Ill liability
for principal aud interest to tha Government
on account Of the bonds.

One Of the most significant signs of

most favorable light, England is in bad
way. Turkey has declined to accept the
agreement of the three ers,--Germany,

knowing that Turkey will not aud cannot
carry out any reform, are determined to fight
on until the Independence Of 1loani4 and
Hcrzogoyina IL conceded, which would be
tho entering wedge for the Independence Of
all the other Sclavic provinces. It is necesaa-
ry, therefore, for the three Powers TO confer
again, and the now conference Ia already an-
nounced to take place at Ems. Meanwhile
Italy has sent iu hor adherence to tho meno-
