DIRT EATERS.

Mr.. Evarts who was so prompt to de
nounce Grants interference in the Sou h
two years ago, now accepts nomination
on the Grant platform and gives his adher-
ance 10 the Cameron order, and Blaine
and Bristow have come together in sweet
accord with Grant and Cameron. Mr..
Schurz and some of his Fifth Avenue
friends who solemnly resolved that the
nomination Of man like Hayes would
demand the united action of all the patriots,
to save the country from the peril TO which
his weakness would expose it, are now
laboring for his election. But the strangest
of all is Mr.. Bristow whose friends went to
Cincinnati to rescue the party from Grant
and the machine, working with Grant and
with those who slaughtered him at Cincin
natl: even working shoulder to shoulder
with thieves whose Imprisonment he
sought. Of all mean dirt eaters, Bristow
seems to be the meansst.

MONEY OR DEFEAT.

Gen. Fitzpatrick, who has bern stump
ing Indiana for the Republican ticket,
writes to Mr.. Hayes, that but for one thing
they would carry that State, which is an
Independent movement. He says the In
dependent party is confined to but few
counties, but is nevertheless formidable
and will defeat Gen. Harrison, unless the
leaders of the movement are bought off.
He says to Hayes: "a bloody-shirt cam
paign with money and we are safe; finan-
cial campaign and no money and we are
beaten unless the national committee
makes up and does its duty to you, to the
party and the conntry, defeat is certain lin
October" He also tells HAYES that the
leaders of the Independent movement "are
poor, needy and in debt" and sat money
will bring them right. Money placed in
their hands will convince them of their
followers no doubt. Money is a strong
and is always potent. ua

raEEnRIBE s'FATE.

The Republican State t,onyentlon o.
New York on Wednesday dominated Ex-
Governor E. D. Morgan for Governor
The nomination of this gentleman, is the
result Of combination to dethrone Sena-
tor Conkling from the party leadership o1
the State. The nomination Of Morgan is
the death knell to Conkling's leadership.
Alonzo B. Cornell was Mr.. Conkling s
candidate: The result of the nomination
Of Morgan and the general action Of the
Convention inspires the belief that the
split in the Republican party in the En-
pire State has been widened. Morgan is
in no sense reformer and will not be sup
ported by the reform voters. The reason
why Morgan was successful over Evarts il,
that the Republican politicians want some
Of Morgan's money to conduct the State
and National canvass. Morgan served two
terms as Governor during the war, has
always been strongly partisan. and has
contributed lavishly Of his wealth for
party purposes. The Custom House inau-
ence is lukewarm toward him, and will
only vote for him in consequence Of the
vital importance of the States vote on the
National ticket. His nomination excites
no enthusiasm with Republicans, while
the Democrats believe they have nothing
to fear from him. Alonzo B. Cornell who
was Conkling's candidate forGovernor who
was afterwards proposed for Lieutenant
Governor, but as there was no probability
Of his nomination he was forced to with
draw his name for the second place, and
Senator Sherman F. Rogers, Of Buffalo,
was nomi tied for Lieutenant Governor
Some ofdhose who supported Evarts for
Governor are disgusted with Morgan's
nomination, and openly declare that it
portends defeat.

argument, and is always potent.

The negro Judge Whipper, elected by
the South Carolina Legislature, who is
legally entitled to the office, though en-
tirely unfit for it, inasmuch as Governor
Chamberlain who knows his bad character
and capacity, is endeavoring to keep him
off the bench, proposes to have himse If
wi ct armis." Surely the decent citizens
of South Caroline wish to get back to the
days Of the Hamptons and the Rhetts.
Governor Chamberlain is making brave
effort to keep the bench from being dis
graced by Whipper. The outrage nc w
threatening South Carolina is not a Ku-
Klux jon, but entirely negro Judges
work.

THE GREAT REGATTA.

Tuesday of this eek was the beginning
Of the greatest Of regattas, on the finest
course in the world. Aside from the
SchuylkilPs advantages as a racing course
no prettier spot, no place around which
cluster so many beauties and romances can
be found in the world. From the starting
point, the course runs nearly due
South for fraction over a mile, making
no turn till point is reached opposite the
Strawberry Mansion. There the first and
only deviation from astraight line is made,
and the course goes gently toward the
west, giving straight sweep ola mile due
southwest until the grand stand is reach
ed on the east bank Of the river, at the foot
of delightfully."- shaded, cool mossy slope.
From the very starting point the river is
fringed on both sides with overlapping,
pyramids Of tall trees Of beautiful foliage,
giving everything an air Of GOODNESS and
quietude. From the start 10 the ending OF
the course, the banks of the river offer
COO, shady position with elevated poin tsfor
the hundreds of thousands Of spectators.
This Centennial international Regatta is
subdivided into three distinct parts, the
National Amateur, the International and
Professional, and all three parts are repre-
sented by crew from every nation. 4
1t is estimated that upwards Of fifty
thousand people witnessed the first races.
No such collection Of people was ever
before seen in Philadelphia. The whole
world seemed to be out for a holiday. 1t
was not Philadelphia that was out, nor
was America, but the whole world was.
there, men, women and children of every
race and color. English, Irish, Dutch,
Turk, Scotch, African, japanese, China
men, Russian, Assyrian, Egyptian, Italian
and Of every class and previous cendi-
tion," lined the banks of the schuylkill to
witness the great Centennial Regatta.

FOR SHERIFF,
ISAAC GRUB,
MR.. McMENAMlN AND THE STREET
-t"@ COMMITTEE

.
We present to The people Of Whining
ton this morning, complete vindication
Of Mr.. McMenamin from all charges
brought against him as Chairman Of The
Committee on Streets and Opening Streets.
1t will be found upon reading the article,
that Mr.. McMenamin's administration has
been one that has saved large amounts to
the city. His reforms show a careful
study Of the peoples interests, and that
he has allowed no imposition to be prac-
tised upon them or the city. ~
In the matter of furnishing curb stones,
he smashed ring, and relieved the prop
erty owners Of an outrageous tax that was
being piled upon their pockets. In very
short while the price Of curbing was re-
duced from ffty-two cents to thirty-one.
He cut down the contractors price digging
crossings from seven dollars to three ard
a half, and has never allowed contractor
to go beyond the standing price of twelve
cents for curbing. Another outrage that
he corrected was the charge made of a
double price for bricked cutters. Mr..
McMenamin has never yet charged but a
dollar and fifty cents day for laborers,
while it is proved by figures that under
the old committee, Mr.. Simmons was paid
by Council as high as two dollars per
day for hands, and in one instance four
dollars for mason.
There has not been single charge made
against Mr.. .McMenamin, that The HERALD
of this morning, does not refute. The
charge Of ungentlemanly conduct in the
committee 80 far as to cause one member
to refuse to meet with the committee, is
without foundation. That gentleman had
no idea of meeting with the committee
again, as he intended to go away before
another meeting, and did do so. The
gentleman also stated that he knew nothing
of the Walnut street remonstrance, before
it was handed to him to presentto Council,
and at the same time when an examination
Of the remonstrance was made, his name
was found to be the seventieth on the list
of over hundred.
If it was violation of the Fifty Dollar
Contract Ordinance that caused Mr.. Candy
to revolt against tie committee, he had
enough of such experience under his own
administration, when occupying the same
position that Mr.. McMenamin now does,
and the article upon our local pages this
morning, shows that Mr.. Davis has never
violated the contract price for larger
amount than five dollars, and then only
once or twice. While with Mr.. Simmons
it was violated as often as twice in a bill
Of fourteen items, and for very large
amounts.
To-day William McMenamin stands
cleared Of every charge preferred again ct
him, and a popular and winning candidate
for reelection in his ward.

THE PETROLEUM TRADE.

tN THE PEEBOAEGA TxSTAO0s
We have in former numbers Of the
HERALD referred 10 the scheme now seri-
ously agitated and strongly advocated,
which contemplates the speedy construc-
ton of pipe lines leading direct from the
oil regions Of Pennsylvania to Philadel-
phia, New York and Baltimore The
monopoly of productive oil which Penn
sylvania possesses, has hitherto only been
utilized to limited extent, as immense
quantities of the oil has been sold
abroad at rates that paid little more than
the cost of pumping, refining, barrelins
and transporting.
The recent rise in the price Of this ia
NOUS product Of Pennsylvania promises to
be an event Of great commercial impor-
tance. Few events have ever instanta-
neonsly effected such an immense saving
as the discovery that nature had stored
away in great natural reservoirs within
the reach of man substance that could
advantageously be substituted for all the
expensive oils used in the production Of
light. Pennsylvania has supplied lhe
markets Of Europe with generator OF
light of such extraordinary cheapness, that
its price has at all times been considerably
less than one-half the price Of any article
that would possibly come into successful
competition. Domestic consumers will
suffer slightly from the advance, but they
may still console themselves with the fact
that petroleum is still great boon, and if
they universally adopt the practice OF
using its only thoroughly refined products
there will be but very slight extra ex-
penditure, and little care will avoid all
accidents and save all the lives. now lost
by the reckless use Of dangerous illumina-
ting oils. Economical considerations first
induced its use into families. They found
it better and cheaper light than all other
competing illuminators, and now if even
its price is doubled, they will still find its
cost less than that Of any other substance
that yields an equivalent amount Of light.
Experiments with pipe lines for the
conveyance Of oils have proved successful
in the western portion of Pennsylvania,
and there is no doubt about all the me-
chanical and engineering difficulties in
volved in the contemplated project being
surmounted. The demand for petroleum
has kept increasing constantly during a
period when the continued influence Of a
partial diminution in the number Of new
oil wells and the destruction of large
quantities of the oil stored in tanks by
fires led to serious reduction Of stock on
hand, and this new relation between sup
ply and demand, is one Of the main causes
o. the rise in prices and since it has Sc
cured, it will be fortunate thing for
Pennsylvania and the whole country if the
advance is maintained, as the bulk Of the
product is consumed abroad and the chief
gain made from the people Of other coun-
tries. The recent rise in this famous pro-
duct of the Keystone Of the Federal arch,
promises to be an event of immense pro-
portions. Let the pipe line be pushed 10
successful termination.
