An Oasis In tn. Canvas.

Uncle Sammy Tilden and Centennial Din
are old political rivals and personal friends.
We felt certain that when the news Of the
Centennial Dix is making on the Hampton
beaches, down on Long Island, came to the
ears of Uncle Sammy it would arouse his
feelings as sportsman. 1t is no surprise to
us to learn that Tilden will shortly visit
East Hampton as the guest of Mr.. Gardner.
East Hampton is an old, quaint, unique
town near the sea, with a fine avenue Of
spreading trees. Talmage breaches to the
surging seas to keep himself in tone. Thers
are no taverns, no billiard saloons, and Rus
kin will be rejoiced to know there is no rail-
way within six or seven miles. There are
windmills, and an evening coach like De-
lancey Kane's, whose driver blows horn,
and which carries the government mail and
the New YORK HERALD. We do not know q
more soothing place for Presidential can
didate. AS Centennial Dix is only few
miles off-in West Hampton-Uncle Sammy
can meet him, and they can have fine
time among the ducks We should like to
see these fine old sportsmen at theiI
best. And if Peter Cooper could be tempted
to go down and take hand the result
would be memorable in the annals Of sport.
Uncle Sammy is firm shot, with steady
nerves and good eyes, and, as Tweed and
others might testify, sure to bring his game
in the long run. But it will be hard for
Uncle Sammy and Grandfather Peter to beat
the score of Centennial Dix. Moreover, as q
reason for Uncle Sammys trip on the
Hampton beaches, and in East Hampton
especially, the thermometer is never, not
even in these days, more than five hundred
in the shade.

butchery, and expressing the strong but
courteous dissent of the writer's from our adj
vice to Governor Tilden. 1t is the practice
of the HERALD to give fair hearing to both
sides in every important controversy, and it
is willing in this case to let our readers see
the strongest arguments that can be presented
against its own views. On this particular
question we are more fortunate than our dis
satisfied correspondents. They are repre-
sented in Congress by the scapegrace flip
pancy and heartless buffoonery of Mr.. Cox !;
but we have strong ally in the noble elo-
quencc, courageous sincerity, statesmanlike
wisdom and broad humanity of Mr.. Lamar,
a democrat who is doing more than any
other individual to make his party respect
able and respected We should be proud
of our country if there were moro
men of the type of Lamar in public life. 1t
is not merely his ability and eloquence that
excite our admiration, although we do not
undcrvalue his brilliant intellectual gifts;
but what especially commands our esteem
and homage is his moral elevation. He is
one Of the few men capable of rising above
the murky atmosphere of low partisan poll
tics, one of the very few who habitually
make us feel the value of enlightened con-
science in public affairs. We should do in
Justice to our own feelings if we failed to pay
him this tribute and to assure him that the
best public sentiment of the Northern States
regards him rs sincere patriot and a wise
statesman.
Those who arc so forward to tell us and
are so anxious to tell the public through our
columns that affairs like the Hamburg
butchery arc of purely local concern, and
that nobody outside of the States in which
they happen have any duty in regard
to them, have profted but little by the
tremendous history of the last twenty

dence half century ago they were warm
advocates of the South American revolt
against Spain, although. in legal point of
view, it was simply question between
Spain and her colonies We were champions
of Hungary against Austria, and paid public
honors to Kossuth we sympathized with
oppressed Ireland and paid court to the
Fenans we have given the whole weight Of
our moral support to Cuba. On what
grounds is this constant championship of
right against oppression to be justified? As
suredly not on the ground that we had any
legal pretence for intervening in favor of
foreign subjects struggling against the injus-
tice of their governments, but solely on the
right of free people to give their active
sympathy and moral influence to the down.
trodden victims of misrule. Are we any less
free when such victims are American citi-
zens? MIR. Webster made noble re-
ply to small cavillers on questions
of strict legal right and authority
to employ armed force in his elo-
quent speech on Greek independence.
Sir" said he ''this reasoning mistakes the
age. The time has been. indeed, when
fleets and armies and subsidies were the
principal relances, even in the best cause
But, happily for mankind, great change
has taken place i'll this respect. Moral
causes come into consideration in proper
ton as the progress of knowledge is ad-
vanccd, and the public opinion of the civil
lied world is rapidly gaining ali ascendancy
over mere brutal force" If Governor Tilden
is statesman abreast Of the progress of the
age he cannot undervalue the prodigious
power of public opinion, and it ought to be
his ambition and his pride to WELD this
superior force in the interest of right and
Justice and domestic tranquility. The
merely legal authority Of the President
could be welded by any fifth rate country
lawyer whom accident might invest with
the office; but really great statesman would
value the position chiefly as n means of en-
abling him to govern by his influence over
public opinion. We would gladly rank Mr..
Tilden in this higher class, and if he really
belongs to it he will not think his duties
and influence circumscribed by his purely
legal functions.
We had intended to touch on other topics
appropriate for Mr.. Tildens letter Of accept
ance, but this seems so paramount and We
have given it so much space that we must
postpone the others. If he is defeated it
will be by republican appeals for negro
rights, but if he will give satisfactory
guarantee that the rights of NIL citizens will
be maintained nothing can prevent his
election.

years. Twenty years ago it was said that
the federal government had nothing to do
with slavery that it was purely domestic
institution, subject only to State regulation.
This may have been sound view in point
of constitutional law, but by the folly of the
South the slavery agitation continued to go
on until public sentiment was created
which swept down all barriers If the
Southern leaders and their democratic allies
in the North had possessed any foresight
they would have put an end to the agita-
ton, not by vainly pleading the constitu-
tional bar, but by uniting to prevent the
pretensions and aggressions which stirred
Northern indignation to its profoundest
depths. 1t is in the power of the democratic
leaders to put an end to these hideous race
conflicts in the South by the mere exertion
of moral influence and moral authority, and
if they are so blind or misguided as to neg
lect this plain duty their experience may
prove as unfortunate as in the case of slavery,
when they constantly used the same argu-
ment-that it is 'none of our business"
Unless these outrages are stopped the people
of the North will make it their business, and
it will be found impossible to maintain con-
stitutional barriers when they are perverted
to defend outrages on freedom, justice and
humanity. 1t is in the interest of local self
government that the HERALD gives this
friendly warning.

The Internationally Boat Racer

Again victory on Saratoga Lake perches on
the banners of the Empire State. Cornell's
clean sweep of the honors this year after her
victory last year will make the boys who shout
for Ithaca proud indeed. Harvard, taking
second place in the ix-Oared race, did verv
well, and Columbia's gallant struggle wilI
keep up her repute for another day on the
same waters. While we congratulate the
winners and the Empire State on nourishing
such sturdy oarsmen we must pause for a
moment to notice the falling off in popular
enthusiasm regarding the University
races. First, the race on the Connecticut
weakened the interest. The Yale and
Harvard struggle did not attract very much
attention. The public looked on it as sort
of priggish attempt to make the rivalry be-
tween Yale and Harvard an American Ok
ford and Cambridge affair, and as neither
had come to the front in the broader strug-
giles with the other colleges it was treated
no worse than it deserved. There could be
no objection to Yale racing Harvard any
where she liked, but there was too much
presumption in beaten Yale thinking that
by taking herself out of the association all
eyes would follow her. Then there has been
so much centennialism in the air, and pomps
and shows of ali kinds about that events like
the interuniversity struggles must put up
with their share of the enthusiasm. In
deed the coming races at Saratoga and Phila-
delphia cut in upon the interest in the row.
ing YESTERDAY to a great extent
We note these points with care, because
aquatic sports are assured Of their future in
America, and for the benefit of the faint
hearted, who are prompt to look on the
momentary lessening of public enthu-
siasm as sign of the decay of rowing Next
year, which is an "off one in politics, will
have no international exposition, no centen-
NAL skyrockets going up with a flash, whiz
and burst of colored stars to set the crowd
cheering till cheer becomes almost as
hateful to the ears as hearing Aristides called
''the Just" was to the old Athenian. Next
year the regular Olympian days may claim
larger share of enthusiasm and get it.

MIR. Wheeler's Letter OF Acceptance.
publican candidate for Vice President,
printed elsewhere, is noteworthy for the
prominence it gives to the necessity of pro-
tecting oil classes of citizens in the South.
The emphasis given to this question by Mr..
Wheeler BELTS his position in the canvass,
inasmuch as the principal reason for his
nomination was the distinguished part he
bore in the pacifcation of Louisiana. 1t was
''the Wheeler compromise" that put ON end
to the troubles of that State in the spring of
1875 His conduct in effecting that settle
ment was so fair and considerate and
yet so firm as to raise him in
public estimation, and the tranquility
which has reigned in Louisiana since the
adoption of his compromise is trophy
which any statesman might be proud to
wear. His opposite quotation from his
declaration Of sentiments at the time is in
refreshing contrast to the bloody shirt
harangues of Senator Morton and other
republican leaders. Mr.. Wheeler seems
inspired by deep sense of justice and, as
it is the nature of justice to be impartial, he
deals as fairly with the South as with those
whose rights are imperilled by the brutal
conduct of a portion of the Southern people.
He makes due allowance for the ignorance
and misjudged impulsiveness Of communi-
ties destitute of onr Northern facilities for
popular education, and deprecates harsh
judgments which make no allowance for
the peculiar difficulties and dangers
which beset Southern society. But he
is, nevertheless, immovably firm in main
tanning the right of all American citizens
to equal and full protection. "This will be
accomplished" Mr. Wheeler justly says,
.'only when the American citizen, without
regard to color, shall wear this panoply of
citizenship as fully and as securely in the
canebrakes of Louisiana as on the banks of
the ST. Lawrence" There is nothing in Mr.
wheelers views on this important subject
which the democratic party might not ac-
cept and ought not to indorse. We should
rejoice to see q new and broader 'sWheeler
compromise" than that which was adopted
in Louisiana last year-a compromise which
would bury the bloody shirt and Bourbonism
in the same grave and take the Southern ques-
ton out of party politics. The deplorable
race conflicts in the South would soon end if
all republican leaders would be as moderate
and considerate as Mr. Wheeler and all the
democratic leaders would be as just, wise
and high toned as Mr.. Lamar.

s'FA1R PLAY TO GRANT.-Colonel Nc
Clure of the Philadelphia Times. is anxious
that Hayes should have ''fair chance" and
to that end he thinks the republicans should
repudiate the administration. We do not
see how this would help Hayes. Suppose
Grant were to repudiate the republican
party by resigning, would he not leave
Hayes in sorry plight? He would turn the
government over to Ferry and the Pograms,
the inAationists of the West. There Is a
good deal of cant in this wanting to be rid Of
Grant. We are willing to have him fol-
eleven terms in preference to such an adj
ministration as would come in with Ferry.
And, after all, Grant will be memorable and
honored figure in our history, long after Til
den and Hayes, Wheeler and Hendricks, and
all the statesmen who are abusing him ara
forgotten. Now that the weather is so warm,
and especially in Philadelphia, let independ
ent journalists like Mcclure take large
views of things.

The WEATHER during the coming five days
will be very warm, owing to the relative
positions OF the areas of high and low barom-

yrecs. and in the moro northcrly and east
nly regions of seventy eight degrees The
lowest barometer is now central west Of the
Upper Mississippi, with very high mid
oight temperature, ranging from seventy-six
20 eighty-threc degrees. Yesterday clear
weather prevailed over the greater part of
The United States cast Of the Rocky Noun
tains, except on the Middle Atlantic coast,
md will be likely to continue, except during
short thunder storms, until the high barom-
tier moves into tho Atlantic Ocean. High

The STEAMBOAT INSPECTORS should GER
fully overcrowded state Of the excursion
steamers, on Sundays particularly, sends q
thrill of horror through those who know
enough to figure to themselves the whole
sale slaughter that would inevitably follow
any catastrophe on board. At this period
of the year an excursion down the Bay is
among the most desirable ways of passing
day outside the broiling city, but why hold
out every inducement to misfortune and
make o day of pleasure be passed at the gate
to the grave of five or six hundred persons? :?
These steamers generally carry double
the number of passengers allowed by law.
A sudden squall, an outbreak Of fire
or even the alarm of fire, not to speak of
other dangers, might produce panic that
the overcrowding would make tenfold more
dangerous. While we have provisions Of
law covering the point of overcrowding and
officers paid to see them enforced, cases of
absolute cramming Of excursion steamers
are reported to us daily. We have before
called upon the inspectors to stop it. If
they cannot choose more honestly between
public safety and the greed of the steamboat
men others must be found who will. The
scene described elsewhere on the Plymouth
Rock and the breaking down of the ma
chinery of the Americus yesterday, COM
pelling her to be towed into port by the
Neversink, show that We do not overrate the
dangers.

Bri.tow, Grant and the Frauds.

Is it not just possible that one reason why
Bristow does not go before the committee OF
Congress and tell all he knows is that he
knows nothing worth telling? Grants record
in the whiskey business will come out straight
His enemies have had the newspapers for
year, and have used them, but have failed to
throw stain upon the President. Grant ia
not candidate for the Presidency, nor for
any other place that we are aware of, unless
it may be John A. Logan's as Senator from
Illinois. He wants to get through, go to
Europe, and have n good time. If the
weather continues it would not surprise us
to hear that he had turned the whole ma
chine over to Ferry and gone abroad. With
the thermometer at one hundred and sixty
degrees or thereabouts, and both houses in
session, and republicans crying out against
the man they have made President for two
terms, and Hayes not saying word about
the second Washington with Belknap i'm
peached and Robson lowering on the verge
of impeachment-what may not wornout
President do? The prospect of ten months
of Ferry, with his views on finance, should
make us little more tolerant to Grant, who
will live in the splendor ofhistory long after
his accusers have been forgotten.
