and fight under his flag. AT the same time the
opposition to Conkling may throw upon him
a duty like that which may devolve upon
Tilden. Although the regular troops of the
republican army are with him-Arthur with
his Custom House cavalry from New York,
Cameron with his Highland clansmen from
Pennsylvania, Ames with his guerillas from
Mississippi, Spencer with his 'bummers"
from Alabama, Settle with his colored bril-
gades from North Carolina; although they
are all falling into line with the stead
mess of veterans, and under the
leadership of veteran commanders
Blaine and Morton are strong able,
vigilant, and their war upon Conkling is a
war of hatred. Therefore, it may be the
duty of Conkling to preserve his own power
as the premier of q new administration by
taking up an unknown man. He cannot
fall back upon Blaine or Morton, as Tilden
could upon Bayard or Thurman, feeling that
his selection was one of friendship and
affection as well as policy. He can name
the Unknown Man, that mystic power
which bids fair to exercise SO potent
an influence upon the republican prospects.
And when within the possibility of selection
we note Hamilton Fish, William M. Evarts,
Edwin ID. Morgan, John jay, Benjamin H.
Bristow, William A. Wheeler, +. b. Wash
burne, and others of equal experience and
merit, we may feel assured that whoever
bears the republican standard will be worthy
of the honor.
Finally, and this is q thought that comes
with special emphasis, we must congratulate
the Empire State that she is SO rich in candi-
dates for high place; that one of her sons is
the favorite Of the democracy and another
the favorite of the republicans that how
ever the canvass may develop-be it Tilden,
Bayard or Thurman, be it Conkling or
the Unknown Mantle new administration
will be under the control of Tilden or
Conkling, each Of them q man whom New
York honors, without distinction Of party.
As citizens of New York, proud of our noble
old Commonwealth, we rejoice in this. Let
Kelly and his ..Wiskinskies" and ''Sachems,"
in their dark lantern Know Nothing lodge,
dance and yell and brandish their tomahawks;
let Curtis, with his old fogy grumblers at the
Union League, growl about the machine and
reform-the democratic columns follow
cheerily the flag of Tilden, the republican
lines keep steady pace behind the banner of
Conkling. New York when she enters the
convention halls Of st. Louis and Cincinnati
will 60 supporting one Of her own sons, and
demanding that imperial consideration due
to her proud eminence as the Empire State.

A HINT IN SEAsox.-We note despatch
from Washington arraigning the character
of Peabody, the witness against Belknap.
Peabody is shown by the records" to be
very bad character. We have observed, ever
since the beginning of this investigation
Of Belknap, that whenever any witness
has word to say against the old
Secretary, in day or two he is assailed
from records" in the War Department.
1t was SO with Robinson. Then came
On assault on Custer, and now Pea
body. Is it not time for this to stop?
Secretary Taft is in charge of a depart
ment saturated with Belknapism. He
should lay hands on these accomplices o.
Belknap, who use the records and the pres,
to discredit witnesses willing to speak the
truth, and to defend the most conspicuous
scoundrel in the civil history of our govern
ment.

PASSENGERS BAGGAGE. Judgment has been
given against the French Steamship Com
pany in a case of interest to the travelling
public, by which the company is compelled
to pay five hundred dollars for passengers
baggage lost on the Amerique, abandoned at
sea. As carriers the company could not be
responsible for tho consequences Of an event
due to the elements, like the loss of o ship !;
but the passengers case was founded on the
point that the loss was not due to the ele-
ments, and that the ship was not lost, as she
was subsequently taken into an English port
by British sailors. 1t was, however, held by
the Court that the Abandonment was not to
be Judged in the light OF after events J" but
the fact that she was abandoned by the off,
GERS must be assumed rs evidence that it was
necessary in the circumstances. Judgment
for the value of the baggage is given, how
ever, on the ground that it was actually
stolen; and against such disposition of 1t
the company is held to be responsible. But
on the principle of this judgment it would
make great deal Of difference whether the
baggage was pillaged before or after the ship
was abandoned.

When we pointed out some weeks age
that Russia, in supporting the Andrassy
scheme Of reform and pacifcation in the re-
volted Turkish provinces. was not sincere in
her expressed hope that quiet might be
restored on the basis of the present distri-
button of power in Southeastern Europe,
We scarcely expected to see our opinion
confirmed in the shape which late events
have taken. In the pacifcatory efforts Of
Austria there was just that sincerity and no
more that might be seen in public man
who, not able to follow the course he de-
sired in an affair, yet took another
course to preserve his standing az
one without whom nothing could be
done. This desire to NEEDLE for the sake of
meddling left Russia an easy game to play.
She had only to consent to the practically
impossible scheme of reform drafted by
Count Andrassy and await the result. This
result could only be the demonstration OF
the futility Of making pact with the Mus
sulman to treat his Christian subjects fairly.
No matter what the Porte might promise,
Russia could rely on Mohammedan fanati.
cism, which has for motto, ''Thou shalt
make no pact with the infidel. but thou shalt
smite his soul to hell" The truce in Herze-
govina, however, came, and things began to
look as though peace injurious to Russian
designs might be patched up. Russia could
not openly go behind efforts made in support
ofthe Andrassy scheme, but by a very cunning
slo CO., <Io rvo;no
again. This was simply delivered by I'M
muzzling the Russian press and letting the
papers bark panslavism, detestation of the
Turk and distrust of Austria from st. Peters,
burg to Moscow. News travels fast nova
days; the revolted rayahs soon learned Of
this outbreak of sentiment, and now we see
the instruction extending, the bankrupt
Turks hurrying more men to the front on
money borrowed at Heaven knows what pre-
posterous interest, Servia apparently on the
brink of war and o dislike Of the Austrian
peace preachers taking root among the men
fighting for their homes and affairs with the
edge of the sword.
This is oil very favorable to Russian pre-
tensions, but it remains to be considered at
what period of the game Russia will take up
arms on her own behalf. The declaration of
war by Servia would give Russia an excuse
to mass her troops on the southwestern
frontier, and she would march them to the
scene of conflict at the first move made by
Austria. Unless by that time Russia and
Austria had secretly agreed on scheme fol
spoliation of the Turk European war whose
complications and extent no one can foresee
would be the result. Of the other great Pow
ers, France and Germany would, for many
reasons, be the last to take sides. England
would probably like to keep out of it, but her
money and her Oriental supremacy would
be soon in question, and whenever she takes
up the rifle it will be against Russia. The
possibility of such tremendous conflict is
saddening in this nineteenth century. 1t
would, however, give an immense impulse
to American progress, and when America adj
vances humanity is the gamer.

THE SAMOAN TROUBLES. What Mr.. Stein
bergers position may be in Samoa we do
not pretend to know exactly, but we do not
like to see an American citizen made prs-
oner Of by British man-of-war and held
in confinement because savage says the
citizen is n fraud" The action Of the
United States Consul, Mr.. Foster, in this
case is certainly discreditablc, if the report
is true that, at his instigation, Steinberger
was made prisoner of and held as
such on board Her AIajestys ship, the
Barracuda There seem to be meddling
English missionary business and some Eng
lish trade interests at the bottom of the in
reference with Steinberger, and though the
latter may not shed lustre on the American
name We are not quite prepared to submit to
the principle which this transaction appears
aimed to enforce that England has
n protectorate over the entire Pacific. and
that where an American interferes with her
interests she is at liberty to imprison him.
COMMODORE VANDERBILT -Ramor mongers

ical gentlemen that MS the winter was fatal
to Mr.. Astor and the spring to Mr.. Stewart
the public mind would be quite ready to be-
lieve any story Of calamity to Mr.. Wander
bilt, aud that therefore this would be an
suspicious moment to revive the oft re-
peated story that he was seriously i'll. But
the story has been told so often that it appar-
emily found few believers, and il will prob
ably be doubted on the inevitable day, which
We hope will be many years hence, when it
will be true.
