The powerful sentiment of England in

The powerful sentiment of England In
opposition to the policy OF DIsRARLI. which
looks to the support OF Mohammedan Turkey,
found expression Yesterday through the ad-
dresses to Lord DERBY, the Secretary of State for
Foreign Affairs. One OF the Populations which
addressed his lordshp was composed Of mem
bers OF Parliament, and the other Of members Of
the "Christian League" JOHN BRIGHT, as
spokesman Of the Parliamentary deputation,
demanded a policy OF strict neutrality on tho
part of the British Government; aud Lord DER
ny. In replying set forth his reasons for believ-
ing that the pc ce OF Europe would not be broken
by the conflict In Turkey. The Christian depu-
tation, which represented the ideas OF the an
cient and retired statesman, Lord john Rus
SELL. was very severe In Its criticism OF Dis
RAELfs Turkish policy. 1t IL evident from the
numerous expressions of pubic opinion In
Great Britain that reach us through the press,
that DIsRAELL has endangered his party's in
terests by his recent demonstrations In behalf
Of the Sultan.

A Typical Candidate.

The Republicans of Indiana were quite
consistent in nominating as their candidate
for Governor, GoDLovE s. ORTIZ, lately
Minister to Austria, and formerly Con-
gresham and lobbyist Tor the Venezuela
Ring. He fully represents the political
morality of the party since it has been
corrupted by its present leaders. He has
never exhibited any remarkable talent
as a legislator or diplomatist. but his
record shows that he appreciates the great
principle OF Addition, Division, and Silence,
the rule generally followed by oflcehold-
srs under GRANTS Administration.
In 1868 a Mixed Commission met in Cara
cas-, in accordance with the provisions of u
treaty made in 1866, 10 settle international
claims pending between Venezuela aud
the United states. A Ring was formed,
consisting of TALMAGE, the American
Commissioner; STILwELL OF Indiana, the
American Minister to Venezuela; w. l..
MURRAY, relative Of STILwELL, who act
ed as Secretary of Legation, and others.
The purpose of this combination was to
procure awards for fraudulent claims
while no American claimant was permit
ted TO receive consideration unless he
would agree to pay one-half Of whatever
sum might be awarded him to some person
designated by the Ring. Thus the COM
mission was engaged at the same time in
Tobbing the Venezuelan Government, and
In Matchmaking American citizens who had
legitimate claims against that nation. In
another part of to-day's SUN will be found
letter which gives few examples OF the
manner in which this thieving commission
conducted its operations.
The Venezuelan Government paid large
sums OF money under the awards of this
commission, but afterward obtaining evil
dence OF the frauds which had been per-
petrated, declined to make further pay
ments and demanded a new commission
TO revise lle awards made in Caracas 1t
N not known at what time ORTIZ was taken
into the Ring, but ms Chairman OF the
House Committee on Foreign Affairs in
the Forty-hrst Congress, he reported in
favor Of confirming the awards OF the
commission; and during the winter Of
1928, after he had been reelected to Con
gress, he appeared in Washington. as the
attorney aud lobby agent OF the black
maileIs, an act which rendered him liable
b. two years imprisonment and a lne o
$4,000 The blaclimaii levied and thu
money stolen by the Ring, SO far as they
have been traced, amounted to certificate
for over 1922 200, though 1t is said that thu
legitimate claims against Venezuela wer,
not in excess Of $4,000. ORTIZ shared il

WHY not Give the Whites an ESuai
ShowS

II we NAV believe the letter writer's to
the Administration papers from washing
ton. the criticisms of the Herald and The
SIN upon the expedition against the Sioux
Indians have furnished the powers that be
great amusement. Consistently with the
fun they have got out Of our comments,
we infer that to tho same persons the death
of CUSTER aud his brave comrades seemed
very entertaining joke.
AS we have the assurance that orr re-
marks afford diversion, II they do not i'm
part instruction, we will to-day make one
further observation on the conduct OF our
Indian affairs. We believe Gen. GRANT
regards the Indian policy as his own, and
has been particularly gratifed with what
he has admired as the successful working
of it. Now, II appears from the accounts
of the massacre of CUSTER and his COM
mand, that the Indians had much better
guns than our own soldiers. What we wish
to inquire is this Inasmuch as our own
Government furnishes the arms to both
sides, why should not ut least as good guns
be allowed to the whites ms to the Indians
The men in Office ut Washington may
be still further diverted by this question.
Nevertheless, we hope they will take the
trouble TO answer it.

The unfortunate riot which occurred in
Hamburg, S. c., the other day, is one Of the re-
suits of tho anarchy which has prevailed In that
State under carpet-bag rule, and OF the raco
dissensions which have been SO industriously
cultivated by the Republican leaders. The
militia" company which suffered so severely
was an armed mob Of lawless negroes, who have
been the terror OF the country for years, and
who were ordered by the Governor to deliver
up their arms to the State a year ago. The
Justice, PRINCE RIVERS, who undertook to ar
rest the captain OF the company for contempt
the immediate cause OF the rlot-was a negro,
AID u leader In the Re publican nnrtv. The
shooting OF tue pix, iers, however. was utterly
wrong, however great the provocation. At
the ssme time, II has no more political sieni-
ncance than the stoning and drowning OF the
THIELHoRN brothers In the Passaic river 10
Newark on Thursday, when they were trying to
escape after having assass,nated several men.
But the HAYES newspapers will make the most
OF II, and parade " as an incontestible proof
that the rcbeilious whites Of the South are de.
sirous OF exterminatinR the negroes because
thew are Republicans; while the fact Is that In
regard to crimes against life and property In the
reconstructed states the negroes are the trans
gressors in nine cases out OF ten.

It is represented to us that the arrogance
and insolence of the departments at Wash
ington-it might seem invidious to partic-
ularize some that have been spoken Of as
excelling in this respect-have been sur
passingly great under the present Admins
tration. The most prominent members of
Congress have often been turned away as
if they were dogs; while the practice OF
cooling heels in ante-chambers has been
the principal gymnastics cultivated at the
national capital.

worse and more offensive would they be-

Who Shall be Nominated for Governor
Of New York;

II Is alleged that there is u conspiracy
among certain Republican politicians to
overthrow Senator CoNKLING; and they
propose TO begin by beating ALoNzo d.
CORNELL in the next State Convention
held to nominate Republican candidate
Eor Governor.
Mr.. CORNELL is not only q man Of emil
hence in respect Of general ability and
character, but he has been tried in impor-
liant public stations and has never been
found wanting. He has been Surveyor OF
HE Port and Speaker of the Legislature,
and is now Vice-President Of the Western
Onion Telegraph Company. As Speaker
be especially distinguished himself. He
was prompt, intelligent, impartial, and
Energetic, administering the public BUSH
ness in a manner which no presiding
officer has ever surpassed, and gaining the
respect of opponents rs well as the conf
ience OF his friends. We should add, also,
~ matter of information, that Mr.. Cor
HE'LL is the son of the philanthropic and
liberal founder of Cornell University.
Is there any reason why such a man,
with such antecedents, should not aspire
10 be the candidate of his party for the
pfice OF Governor None whatever, ex-
sept that ill-founded and unaccountablo
luminosity which has been conceived
against Senator CoNKLISG by men who,
without his intellectual power and ca
pacity for craftsmanship, envy his position
~ the leader Of the party. Mr.. Corn ELL
h the Jealous and attached friend Of Sena-
tor CoNKLINa, and 1t is believed that any
blow which reaches him, reaches the Sena-
sor also. This is why he is to be assailed.
II we understand Alright the quality OF
Abe parties and the nature of the struggle
Mr. CoNKLING and his friends will not be
overwhelmed and routed by the beating
Of gongs or the sound of noisy menaces
They have been faithful to their party they
have labored for its unity and its advance
ment with brilliant success. It's present
organization, discipline, and efficiency ar,
their work, and no sincere Republican car
consistently refuse to give Mr.. CORNELL
fair showing in the State Convention.
Probably, however, these reports of dis
affection against Senator CoNKLING, ant
of determination to crush him, are either
imaginative or at least much exaggerated
But the defeat of Mr.. CORNELL in the Stat,
Convention would go far TO prove tina
they have solid foundation, and that IA,
execution of such an absurd and danger
Ous design is really contemplated.

PROFESSION AND PRACTICE.
Few Inquiries In Regard to the Record OF
Rutherford n. Hayes.


To THE EDITOR OF THE sUN-Str: would
like to have the following questions answered In
reference TO the Republican candidate for Presi-
dent, az he touches upon civil service reform
and the ono-term question in bis letter Of &C
oeptance:
First-Is this bis third term as Governor Of
second-Did he not, twenty-four hours before
he WIS nominated for his last term, perempto-
rily refuse to be "A candidRtef
ihird-After his nomination, didn't one OF hts
tuelemen IN The Convention pull out OF his
Fnurth-After his inauguration, were not all
Of Gov. ALIENS officials dismissed. although
among them we're some Of the best officers ONO
Fifth Has he ever condemned GRANT or his
Administration
sixth-Is be a member OF the American Al
lance whose battle cry Is Down with the IRISH
and Dutchf"
In reference TO the last question 1 have the
best assurance that he was elected a member OF
said order on the morning OF july D, and thai he
sent letter to the Secretary fully subscribing to
Its principles. W. 3.
PHILADELPHIA, July 10, 1875.
HAYES Is now serving his third term as Gov
ernor Of Ohio but we have no information re-
garding the incidents In the Convention referred
to by our correspondent. 1t Is true, however,
that In the use OF the appointing power Gov.
HAYES acted upon principles the reverse of those
which he proclalms In his letter OF accept
ance. For Instance, white he was first In office,
even for the merely honorary positions, such
as trustees Of charitable institutions, only one
Democrat In the whole state, Gen. BARNABAs
BURNS OF Richland county, received an appoint
ment. When Gov. ALLEN came In he restored
the old rule Of giving two such appointments
out OF Ave 10 the opposition party, but when
HAYES came back he again reduced the proper
tion. But there is a great difference In the cir
cumstances between HAYES as the successor Of
IA Democratic Governor and IA Il candidate for
the place now occupied by GRANT In the for
mer case there were Democratic ofiiclals 20 be
removed while the Federal offices are Allied with
political wire workers, whskey thieves, and
other opponents of Grantism, and HAYES is
necessarily In favor Of keeping them In on for
life. He has never condemned GRANT, but he
has denounced the Congressional inquiries into
the iniquities Of the Administration, and he ap-
proves Of the Republican platform, which thanks
GRANT for all that he has done to degrade re-
publican Institutions.

Both Candidates Men Of Good Char
aCter.

The Republican and Democratic candi-
dates are both men Of good personal char
acter; and moreover. the third candidate.
Mr.. PETER CooPER-a gentleman of ma
ture age and faculties-must be included
In the same category, as an entirely respect
able man. We have never heard that his
glue would not stick. His ground bone
might be rather better as fertilizer II the
glue were not extracted from II, but then
we do not suppose it would be as good for
him.
We regard all attempts to show that Mr..
TILDEN or Mr.. HAYES is not possessed OF
what lie ordinarily considered a good per-
sonal character, rs labor thrown away. The
men are good enough. both Of them.
There is no proper place or room for per-
sonal abuse and vituperaton In the cam
paign. The battle is to be fought, and to
be won by one side or the other, on princi-
pie; and IT is fortunate that this is SO.

philosophlc Democrat, like JEFFERSON and

ends Dy appeals to reason and patriotism, and
not by trick and chcaDery. II there were many
more such politicians, the country would DO a
great deal better of than 1t is.

The venerable Judge SAMUEL NELSON,

HENDERSON cannot be technically called
a thief, for that might not be accurate
phraseology; but he is a man who when
trusted with the money of the United
States, conveyed it into his own pocket.
He may certainly be called sncaking,
treacherous enemy of his country, because
being a public officer he defrauded the
Treasury In time OF war.
