Of the probable result of the vote
on'thc first ballot in the Republican
nominating convention ut Cincin

this distribution Of tho votes. be no
choice, and the same writer pro
cccds to estimate tho result of Il
second ballot, which i" given as
follows Blaine, $50; Conkliny,
lG3 Morton, 1873 Bristow, 1872
Hayes, 4l. The necessary Inference
from this calculation is That Blaine
is the coming man for standard
bearer Of the Republican party il
the coming fight. The estimate
would seem to be correct in on,
thing at lcast--in giving no chance
to Hartranft or Jewell. Both these

The IMPEACHMENT QUESTION. 1t would be
an anomaly of political ethics if high officer
of the government could commit crime,
confess, resign and escape impeachment
Yet this is what Mr.. Carpenter contends is
the right Of General Belknap. 1t certainly
was not the intention of the trainers of the
United States constitution that this evasion
should be possible, even if in their careless
ness they did not forbid it. The ingenious
theory which is advanced by General Bel
knaps counsel is dangerous, for it tends to-
ward the encouragement of collision on
the part of officials. Grant made mistake
in accepting the resignation of q member of
his Cabinet without properly investigating
the attending circumstances, and if Mr. Car
penter's argument is sound some future
President may profit criminally by the ex-
ample in the event of the dismissal by the
Senate of the articles of impeachment for the
want of jurisdiction. 1t will be clear that
there is very great difference between the
law rs it is and as it should be.

The Republican Reform Club, just started
in this city, is the pioneer of q timely and
useful movement which may lead to very
beneficial results. The enrolled members
are gentlemen Of established character and
position, and their association together for .
common object will give directness and
force to the influence they individually
possess. Such an organization in a metrop-
oils like New York, representing its COM
mercial interests, its wealth and intelli-
gence, cannot fail to have weight with politi-
cal parties and with the people at large, and
to command attention for its views. Politi-
clans are powerful because they combine
for common object md act with singleness
of purpose but rs they are generally con-
trolled by selfish interests their strength is
a public evil. There are plenty of honor
able, conscientious citizens among us who
earnestly desire to reform our public affairs
and to purify the political atmosphere.
But without unity of action they can accom-
plish no practical results. BY combining
their efforts and acting in harmony they can
make themselves as powerful as the politi-
clans. This advantage promises to be
secured by the Reform Club, and General
H. L. Burnett, the chairman of the Execu-
tive Committee, deserves praise for the
energy and zeal with which he has pushed
the movement to permanent success.
Similar clubs should be started all over
the country, and as far as practicable should
correspond and consult together. Their in
fuence would then be great, and would be
felt in nominating conventions. At this
particular time, when reform inside the re-
publican party is SO much needed and SO
desirable, they should be represented ms
literally as the political organizations will
be represented at Cincinnati. But it is es-
sential to their success that they should be
free from political intrigue. If they should
suffer themselves to be used to aid or sup
port any pet candidate their influence
would be destroyed They must be reform
clubs in good faith, steadfast in their work
for the publication of political parties md
of the public service. Then they will be q
power not only in conventions, but in cleo
tions. forcing the nomination of acceptable
candidates upon the politicians, destroying
corrupt bargains and combinations and car
rying reform into national, State and mu-
nicipal administrations.

LONDON STREET TRAVEL. How rapid tran
sit is obtained in London is the subject of
an entertaining letter to the HERALD which
we print to-day. Of course an underground
railroad would be difficult here, but we may
take hint from the other methods Of con-
veyance the Londoners have adopted. Their
problems may be easier to solve than our
own, because Of the peculiar confguration
of the island Of New York. yet it is evident
that both in cheapness and speed our cabs
and stages are far inferior to those on the
other side Of the Atlantic.

THE SAMOAN TROUBLES. The East and the
West are at war. If the story of the persons
who have just arrived at San Francisco from
it-Great Britain has got into another of those
little wars in which she is SO frequently en-
gagged. There has been a battle between
English marines and the Samoan tribes, and
a number of the former are reported killed.
Several of the native chiefs were made pris-
oners. The redoubtable Steinberger had no
part in the affair, but he demands satisfac-
ton. His attitude is like that of the hero
in the burlesque who insisted upon "Anas-
tasia or death, with decided preference for
the former"

President Grants Reply 10 His In


The investigating busybodies at Washing
ton ''waked up the wrong passenger when
they called the President to account for his
absences from the national capital. These
noodles are doing n great deal to make all
their labors ridiculous by their headlong
zeal to nrraign persons in positions OF
trust They blunt the effect Of the
most necessary Investigations by bark
ing like unruly ours at the heels of
every passer-by rs if he were thief If
they had known anything of our history
they would not have set upon President
Grant and have sent him resolution which
was an arraignment for doing things which
his predecessors, from Washington down,
have done without blame or question. They
did not need to know any history, but only
the plain text Of the constitution, to have
saved them from so unsecmly a blunder.
BY the constitution the President is
made Commander-in-Ch Chief of the Army,
which he can command in the field in per-
son whenever he chooses and still exercise
the civil duties of his Office. There is no
part of the United States in which he may
not perform any executive act without i'm
pairing its validity.
When Congress is in session our Presi-
dents, Grant included, have always remained
within easy reach of that body for the con-
venience of official intercourse In the
recess of Congress they have always felt
at liberty, in time Of peace, to be
absent from the seat of government
for health, business or recreation,
and nobody thought of accusing them.
Washington spent much Of his time during
recesses Of Congress at Mount Vernon, when
the seat Of government was New York and
Philadelphia, although the journey was
formidable with such facilities of travel as
then existed and communication by mail
was tedious. President Adams used to
leave Washington in May or June for
his home in Quincy, where he stayed
until September or October; and
jefferson, in like manner. spent his
summers at Monticello and Poplar Forest.
Before the establishment of railroads
and the telegraph such absences might
sometimes cause inconvenience, but the
heads of departments conducted the routine
business, and in graver matters waited until
they could hear from the President by post
At present the absence of the President in
the recess of Congress is not even attended
with inconvenience. He can hold instant
communication with the capital at all hours
of the day and the night, and there is no
more difficulty in referring matters to him
and getting his decision than if he never
stepped outside of the executive mansion.
President Grants message on this subject
is o very telling document, and his over
whelming array of facts and presidents
should make the authors Of the resolution of
inquiry blush, if they are capable of blush
ing.

THE WEATHER INDICATIONS for the next
few days are decidedly unfavorablc, and we
may expect rain in New York and the New

over the Mississippi Valley, from the lakes to
tho Gulf of Mexico. Snow fell at Cheyenne,
near the base OF the Rocky Mountains, and
also in Nova Scotia The thermal and
barometric gradients were very steer in
Illinois and Iowa, and we may, therefore,
receive reports from those sections OF strong
local winds, which will also affect In their

The REVELATIONS in the Chicago whiskey
cases indicate very desperate state of
affairs. If the testimony of Bergenthal, the
distiller, is to be credited, the conspirators

monstrous offences we can hardly help adj
uniting that, disguise the truth as we may,
we men are a little race"

careful of accepting favors from any corpo-
