Tho veteran weed ON the situation.

Tho Veteran Weed ON the Situation.
The veteran politician, Thurlow Weed,
puts on record in the HEnALp to-day his
views in regard to the prospects Of some of
the prominent candidates who have been
trotted out or who have trotted themselves
out on the Presidential track in preparation
for the great racesior the nominations at
Cincinnati and st. Louis. Mr.. Weed talks
about the difficulties in the way of certain Of
the aspirants, but does not give his own
opinion as to who the nominee of the Repub-
lican Convention is likely to be. We there
fore conclude that, like many others, he is
waiting patiently for the disclosure of the
name Of The Unknown, upon whose success
discreet sporting men are disposed to bet.
We think that Mr.. Weed, in his par
tial retirement from active public life.
somewhat undertakes the strength of Senator
Conkling when he fails to see how he can
possibly secure the nomination. As Mr..
Weed says, "the Washington atmosphere is
all Conkling." and certainly, with the en-
thusiastic personal following at the com
mand of the New York Senator and the
strength the administration earnestly and
sincerely put forth in his favor, must give
him good chance of success.
On the democratic side Mr., Weed enlists
as a Tilden man. He is in favor of the Gov
ernor's nomination at st. Louis, and pre-
sumes that he will be the successful candi-
date before the Convention. We fear, how
ever, that Governor Tilden will not take
much consolation from this accession to his
forces. Mr.. Thurlow Weed desires that the
Governor shall be the democratic candidate,
because he believes that che would certainly
lose New York and be weak, very weak, be-
fore the people at large" With this opinion
many democrats appear to coincide, only
they oppose Governor Tilden's nomination

Decoration Day.

The manner in which Decoration Day was
celebrated yesterday shows that the interest
in that anniversary increases as time re-
moves us further and further from the suffer-
ings and bitterness Of the war. On no
former occasion has the observance of the
day been more general or more sincere All
over the Union the graves Of many thou
sands of soldiers were decorated by relatives
and friends who cherish the memory Of their
occupants, while the sympathy Of the nation
went out to thousands of other heroes
whose resting places are unknown. Monu-
ments and headstones and green turf
became suddenly gay and fragrant with
flowers. The opening of summer has been
aptly chosen rs the season for paying this
floral tribute to the brave men who gave
their lives to restore summer and sunshine
to the nation. But the wreaths were laid
upon the grave Of the Confederate as well as
of the Union soldier, reminding us that the
strife is over, that the dissensions of the
past are forever buried out of sight and
Of relatives and friends bloom the flowers
of restored brotherhood and peace
The anniversary is one whose celebration
promises good to the nation. 1t carries us
back to the heroes of the Revolution as we'll
as to those of our own time. In this city
the statues Of Washington and of Lincoln,
the tombs of Alexander Hamilton, of Rich
ard Montgomery and of the dead who were
known to us in life received the same
honors Such an event cannot fail to re-
mind MS of the protection we have received
in the past and to warn us against sectional
strife in the future. The work of yesterday
must make the one side in our last struggle
more tolerant. the other side more willing
to accept cheerfully and in good faith
the result After the decoration of the
graves of all the martyrs to the cruel strife
of ''the blue and the gray in common-it
would seem revolving to endeavor to drag
the bitter feelings of the war into the politi-
cal canvass upon which we are about to
enter. The fragrance and beauty of the
flowers we have just laid on the tombs of
Union soldier and Confederate, without dis
tinction, should cause us to turn with loath-
ing from any new exhibition of the ssbloody
shirt" The memory of those who fell in
the countrys cause is with grateful nation,
and will be with us in all future time But
people desire now to hide the wounds of the
past and to remember the war only through
the garlands that lie on the graves of the
dead.

IT APPEARS that there is to be a scramble
over the property Of the late Mr.. A. 7. Stew
art, after all The parties who are about to
contest the will claim to be the third cousins
of the deceased, their grandfather and the
grandfather of Mr.. Stewart having, as alleged,
been brothers. As the ground upon which
the will is to be contested cannot yet be
ascertained it is impossible to form any
opinion as to the merits or prospects of the
suit. But Mr. Stewards well known bust
ness habits and drmness OF character,
together with the fact that he was in full
possession of his faculties to the last, would
seem inconsistent with the idea that his last
will was not made in accordance with his
wishes and intentions.

EMMA MINE is as bad as old Banquo.
Her ghost is perpetually appearing in the
British House of Commons, much to the an
noyance of Mr.. Disraeli, no doubt. Mr..
Hamburg has now given notice that he will
at an early day call Mr.. Schenck and his
connection with the speculation to account.
1t is difficult to see what good Mr.. Hamburg
proposes to accomplish by the movement as
Mr.. Schenck is not very likely to return to
England just at present.

The WINsLow ExTRADITIoN CASE was not
mp before the House of Commons yesterday,
rs Sir Vernon Harcourt did not put his
question to the Ministry in regard to the
correspondence, as he had intended to do.
1t is stated however, that the government
will to-day ask for Winslow's further re-
mand, to await Mr.. Fishs reply to Earl
Derby's last note.

fifteen hundred dollars, and that the two
hundred and seventy-one thousand dollars
paid by the firm in settlement was an ex-
tortion. Judge Davis corroborated this
statement II Mr.. Dodge speaks the truth
does not the matter need yet further inves-
tigation?

The great interest shown in the sprtg
meeting Of the Athletic Club at its grouns
at Mott Haven yesterday, the variety AID
closeness Of the racing and the large null
Der Of competitors, evinces the increasd
foothold manly sports are obtaining anon
our youth, while the fine weather. the alb
sence of any foulfhg and the brillian
assembly combined to render the event
especially attractive. 1t should not now
be long till all our larger cities have Their
well ordered athletic grounds, and trials Of
speed, agility and endurance become as
general among us as in England. The adj
vantages athletics have over gymnastics
in cultivating both health and endurance in
stead of spasmodic strength, often at serious
hazard, are gradually getting better under
stood; and the presence and successful efforts
at these public meetings of gifted young
men like Mr.. McCosh give very valuable
incentive to these innocent and healthy
pastimes Now that these gatherings are
coming into notice it is necessary that great
care should be exercised that such o ques
tionable performance as that of the winner
of the long walk yesterday should be called
by its right name. This comes with espe-
cial force now from the fact that Mr.. Stems
style of walking has frequently been the
subject of comment in private circles, even
before yesterday meeting was contemplated,
and we hope to see him rectify his mistake
before the spring meeting of his club in
1877.
