what Gov. TiIdcn has at stake.

Gov TILpEN has much to recommend
him az the Democratic candidate for Presi-
dent. The most serious obstacle in the
way Of his nomination lies in the internal
dissensions of the Democracy OF New fofk.
Can Gov. TIIDEN do any thing To heal these
aissensions2 If he can he had better be
about IL, for, IL unhealed, they threaten TO
be fatal and there is no time to I've lost.
Theresa powerful opposition, at present,
20 Gov. TrLpES. of which the dlbdnU Ercn-
tng Times may he regarded rs the organ
we think PHOTOGRAPHER might supply n
better word than "organ.' This opposi-
ton, we say, is powerful; yet IT seems to
us TO have been unnecessarily-not to say
ntonly-occasioned, and to be of n char
acter which wise management might pln-
cate. or course this could be done only by
means honorable and creditable to both
parties. II is almost superfiuous, though
II may not be quite SO in these times, to
say that II could not be done by any other.
The great disadvantage that the Gov
ernor labors under is in not being imme-
diately surrounded at Albany by mon Of
more tact and sagacity. Mr.. ISAAC SHEER
MAN OF this city has been his lifelong
friend. We do not know whether, in the
present condition of his health, anything
could call Mr.. SHERMAN from his retire
ment; but In him, IL his aid can be in
voked, Gov. TLDEN would find an ally
worth regiment of those who habtually
stand between him and the light, and
shade him.
Gov. TILpES should take this matter
Into immediate and serious consideration.
There is no sense in his going into the Ma
honal Convention with such an opposition
n now exists In his own party in this state.
We think 1t is US needless ms 1t is formid-
able. But the movement for peace should
be made on the Governors side. He can
well afford TO make it, for had all his
friends been discreet, there would have
been neither necessity nor occasion for IL.

The Governors Duty In the Kelsey
Matter.

A singular fact in reference to the KEEL
sEY matter came to our knowledge a few
days ago. While the investigation was
going on before the Coroner, one OF the
parties to the crime proposed to turn
states evidence, and tell the whole story,
on condition that he himself should be
protected from prosecution. While this
proposition was under consideration aud
discussion, some OF the others implicated
got wind of it, and then the witness who
had proposed TO divulge the truth with
drew his offer, declaring that what he had
said was joke.
This circumstance tends TO strengthen
the view we have steadily maintained, that
all that wns requisite TO uncover the Sc
crets of this terrible crime was a shrewd
and energetic course on the part of the
Governor and the Attorney General. Gov.
DIX sent aprivate secretary to Huntington
10 investigate the affair, and, after receiv-
ing his report, the Governor offered n
reward for the detection Of the murderers.
We think Gov. TILDES ought to follow the
example OF Gov. DIX, and improve upon
IT. lie should Offer an increased reward,
and also indemnity to the first one OF the
persons implicated who will come forward
and unvel the mystery.
We speak OF Ii as a mystery; and yet il
is n mystery in regard TO which much,
very much is already known. 1t is known
beyond reasonable doubt that n revolving
outrage was committed upon the person
Of CHARLES G. KELSEY, and that from the
effects OF this no soon after died, or that
he was soon after put TO death by add
tional violence, and that his mutilated
body was sunk in the sea, from which,
many months afterward, il arose. The
names of the persons present on the even
ing OF the outrage aud exulting over the
pitiable plight to which the victim was re-
duced, nre also publicly known.
1t is now believed, MS il has long been
believed, by those most competent to
judge, that the further direct evidence
requisite TO prosecute the offenders to con-
vction could be obtained by an assurance
from the Acknowledgement that one or
two witnesses first volunteering their tes-
timony shall not be prosecuted

tantamount TO the preposterous assump-
ton Of right 10 dictate a sovereign to
Spain. From the moment when these gal
liant but priest-led noun taineers sought to
make good the pretensions OF an aspirant
whom the rest Of the pennsular repu-
dated, they staked their liberties upon the
fortunes OF war. 1t would probably be q
blunder in policy, and certainly devia-
ton from sound historical precedent, II
they were not now called upon to pay the
forfeit. when the Scots crowned CHARLES
STUART King of Scotland, they were per-
haps within the letter of their rights; but
the instant they became aggressive, and,
crossing the border fought the battle of
Worcester, it became the plain duty of
CROMWELL to annihlate their autonomy.

fomented In Biscay the Spanish republic

Will never be assured in the peninsular so
long as bigotry and reaction find the ma

Spain must become homogeneous before
she becomes republican, and the regenera-

supposititious ticket composed MS follows:

For vice- P,esdent-EDwIE ID. MORGAN Of New York.
This would be a pretty lively ticket and

Mr.. BRIsTow, rs the Republican candidate,
would he voted for not only by the straight
out members Of the party, with Boss GRANT

some support from Liberals, Independents,

petey eclpses anything that Germany can show
In the same line. And here, again, the want OF
tact on the part OF the German exhibitors comes
into dIsagreeable prominence. Austria exhibits
great many articles Of an ecclesiastical nature

Germany exhibits plaster statues OF Christ, viz
gins, and saints, with price attached to every
one OF them.

Kid gloves form, as usual, a prominent feature
among the exhibits Of that province. The silk
goods cannot compete with those OF Lyone, but
some OF them, especially those which partake Of
an oriental character OF design, are remarkably
nne. The wool textiles are superior, both In
richness Of quality and beauty OF design, to
anything that the large Elberfeldt exhibits can
show. This is especially the case in the cloth
department, where the old Moravian manufac-
tories beat those Of Elberfeldt all to pieces. The
cotton velvet, velveteen as 1t is called, Is the
only branch In which Germany can successfully
compete with the rest OF the European conti-
nent. But keeping In view that the vulgar
fashion Of velveteen jackets and dresses which
ragged some few years ago has passed away, this
article has considerably diminished in i'm
portance. The decoration OF theaters and the
upholstering Of railway car seats will soon be
the only poses for which this textile will still
remain In use.

So far as handwriting is concerned, this cor
respondent is at to be a competitor for literary
honors in any magazine. This is an important
matter-the handwrting-as any man In a re-
sponsible editorial position will tell him. Ex-
cellent compositions are often rejected by ed-
tors because they are in grabbed or eccentric
hand, making them dificult to be read. 1t Is
another point 10 our correspondents favor, as
literary asprant, that he has evidently paid
some attention TO the rules OF grammar. Many
would-be writers are negligent In this respect /;
but such men are peculiarly offensive to ju-
dicious editors, and are IN danger OF being
laughed at, even by school boys. We should
surmise, after studying our correspondence
note, that he Is apt to fall into heavy and in
volyed style OF writing: but perhaps a slight
warning against this will impel him to strive
after clearDess and simplicity. Next and now,
comes the most important thing we have TO say
In reply to his question. He must look into his
mind, and out Of IL, to see II he possesses any
ideas that stand In need OF publication. any
novel or valuable or striking or attractive or
powerful thoughts, or any important kno wlsdGe
In any line Of research. II no has, he Is called

magazines would be Glad to get hold OF his pro-
auctions; but, II he has not, he had better re-
frsin from writing. There are too many weak
minded and empty-hesded writers ia these
times there are too few wise, sound, and solid
men Of the pen. As our CORES pendent gives us
no account Of his mental powers aud scq isl
