Mr. Curtis was allowed license never before
granted In republican convention.
Altogether, looking at the results of the
first days contest in the Convention, we find
a disposition to strike at every aspiration
that interferes with the ambition of Mr..
Blaine The fact that the Pennsylvania
delegation strikes at Mr.. Conkling for the
same reason that it destroyed Mr.. Seward
sixteen years ago-because he is a New
Yorker-is only a trifing incident but one
that comes unfortunately in this GEN.
tennial year of peace and harmony. That is
question which the republicans Of New
York and Pennsylvania must settle among
themselves. As we have said all along, if
the republicans choose to nominate Mr..
Blaine against the advice OF every indepen-
dent journal in the land, against the judg-
ment Of every conservative member Of the
party-if these desperate gamblers in
politics resolve to force upon the
ticket a candidate whose nomination
will mean canvass of apology and expla-
nation, upon them be the responsibility.
Speaking for the high patriotic sense of the
country we say to the Convention that it
will never accept as President gentleman
whose record is stained with jobbery, and
whose devotion to union and reconstruction
may be summed up in his speech
about the Duke Of Alva and Jefferson
Davis. The nomination of Mr.. Blaine means
the defeat of the republican party. as surely
as the nomination OF Scott meant the defeat
of the wings twenty-four years ago. 1t
means that oil the pride, all the nobility, all
the high aspirations of the republican party
have gone out of it; that nothing is left but
n scramble for Office. There is as much diff
mates Blaine and the conventions
which gave us emancipation as between the
Roman Republic ofAugustus and the Empire
of Ohio and Augustulus. Perhaps it is the
best that can happen to the country. We
are tired Of the republican party, and the
will be the Brutus of to-day. He will
have killed Caesar and his friends, but in
doing SO will save the country from further
fraud and corruption, for the democrats will
surely win with Blaine as the republican
candidate. When crew of shifty
politicians, offce-holders, railway job
bers and gun contractors are deemed
worthy to rule it the sooner it's
mission is over the better. Thus far
the best opportunities Of the session have
been wasted in an effort to screen Belknap
and apologize for Blaine. 1t is proper that
tho Cincinnati anton ehould copt;nua
this work of apology. 1t makes the cam
paign ON easy one, and, looking at the whole
situation from o national point of view, it
may be for the best if tomorrow we can say
that the gods who make mad those whom
they wish to destroy have taken possession
of this corrupt and degraded organization,
and in nominating Mr. Blaine have made it
the duty Of every honest man to aid in its
destruction.

Release OF Winsiow-The Extradition
Treaty Dead.

Winslow was discharged yesterday. This
not unexpected event creates an unpleasant
complication in the relations between ouI
it may affect the stability of the DisraeD
Ministry. The public opinion of this coun.
try unanimously supports Mr.. Fish, but the
public opinion Of Great Britain is NOT
united in supporting Lord Derby. Several
of the most respected organs of British opinion
admit that Secretary Fish has the best of the
argument, and if Parliamentary attach
should be made on the Disraeli governments
for this unwise embodiment Of friendly
relations with the United States its oppo-
nents might gain great advantage. If
man commits the crime of forgery and also
the crime of murder there is no reason
why he should not be tried and pun
ished for both crimes. If he flies
from justice and takes refuge in . foreign
country what interest has that foreign
country, or what interest has anybody en-
cept the criminal himself, in protecting hin
from the penalties he deserves? The pre-
tence of the British government is that it il
bound to maintain the right Of asylum fol-
political offenders. This is an utterly
absurd and irrelevant pretence to bt
set up against the United States
which has never, in its whole history,
punished an individual for a political
offence. We did not even try jefferson
Davis. Political offences apart, there is ne
reason in the world why criminal who has
fed from justice. when he has been sur
rendered by foreign government
should not stand precisely in the same
position as if he had never escaped.
The British pretence is utterly alb
surd. Suppose, for instance, that person
is extradited for the crime of murder, but
that it should appear on his trial the evil
dence is only sufficient to convict him Of
manslaughter, ought he to escapes all punish
ment because he was extradited for murder
and manslaughter is different offence? It
would be easy to suppose scores of cases where
the pretence that criminal can be punished
only for the crime for which he was extra
dited is equally absurd. The enlightened
opinion of Great Britain will indorse the
American position, and the Ministry which
succeeds that Of Mr.. Disraeli will probably
be willing to negotiate with us rational and
satisfactory extradition treaty.

No candidate whose relations to railway
operations are MS open to suspicion as are
those of Mr.. Blame will be acceptable to the
people of New York. Only blind political
machine would insist upon attempting to
place in the Presidential chair man who
must be defended before the country from
serious charges surely to be brought against
him. Neither can Mr. Blaine nor any other
republican candidate succeed in divert
ing attention from any just accuse
ton against himself or his party by
endeavoring to throw the people back to
where they were eleven years ago. Should
the democrats nominate Mr.. Bayard, who
has been steadfastly true to the North and
fearlessly just to the South, this reckless
attempt will receive the full measure Of the
rebuke it deserves. Mr.. Blaine's weapon
will be turned against himself and
his party in this year of national
unity and of national progress. The
American people have learned much by
the experience Of the past, and they will not
permit designing politicians, whether they
be republicans or democrats to manufacture
sectional divisions for their personal ad-
vancement, and the election of Mr. Bayard
will be warning against similar attempts
in the future. The machine" controls Gin
cinnati. Let not the same thing be said of st.
Louis. A political organization may nomi-
nate candidate in disregard Of the press and
the country, but to elect him is another mat
ter. We therefore repeat that a candidate
whose record in connection with railways is
open to unfavorable criticism will not be ac-
ceptable to the people of New York.

The Racing Season.


The Jerome Park summer meeting will
close with the six races to be run to-
morraw, and from the character of the
events we may confidently predict that the
end will be brilliant and worthy of the
American Jockey Club. Yesterday four fine
races were run before an attendance which,
in point of numbers, was not all that could
be wished. The victories of Leander, Sui
tana, Ore Knob and Sunburst would
have repaid q greater number of
spectators than were on the ground
1t strikes us that one great fault in
the Jockey Club meetings is that they are
spun out too much, and made to extend over
too much time The interest in the racing
suffers from paralysis midway between the
first day and the last. If the events were
compressed into solid week of racing, with
races every day, the excitement over them
would be quintupled, and sustained instead
of being let drop because of the intervening
off days. The sports, both new and old,
which attract our people now have manli-
ness about them full of the best promise for
the muscles of the rising generation. The
typical American of English caricature will
have no representative in our national
youth hereafter if the sports now popu-
lar continue to attract the attention
they receive. When all work and no
play made young America slab-sided,
fair game for the caricaturist. To wearing
work succeeded either absolute rest or fever
ish pleasures that only sharpened the angles
of his ungainly frame, but with the spread Of
yacht racing, boat racing, rife shooting,
base ball, cricket and our latest sporting ac-
quaintance-polo--xe hope 10 see young
America as strong in physique as in brain.
We have called polo our latest acquaintance,
but it is a very old sport, whose ex-
cellence in the East has been at
tested by generations upon generations of
players New York is summer city in
everything but the within of fashion which
says it is not, and it needs but glance over
the sporting columns of the HERALD for the
past week 10 show how brilliant, varied and
well attended have been the outdoor ioy-
ances of the city, presenting an array of
amusements that no Saratoga or Long
Branch or Cape May could gather with
the expenditure of the greatest effort,
while with US they were merely the
recurrence of certain features of the
regular sporting year. In to-morrow's
racing five events have been announced, but
another will be added-namely, hack race,
in which the members of the Jockey Club
will ride their own animals. At the close of
the racing match at polo, being further
contest for the cup, will take place on the
grounds of the Polo Club, hard by the racing
track, and altogether fine days sport may
be anticipated. A game OF race which
makes it the fashion for young men to be on
their horses instead of behind them is worthy
Of being fostersd and encouraged.

IT Is PLEASANT Centennial thought that
the delegation from Pennsylvania to the
Republican Convention opposes Mr.. Conk-
ling for the same reason that it opposed Mr..
Seward sixteen years ago-namely, that he is
New Yorker, and that Pennsylvanians have

York ambition. This point will fit nicely
into the oration which Mr.. Evarts is to make
In Pennsylvania on the Fourth Of July.

WHAT Are THE COMMISSIONERS PAID ?-The
question as to whether the United States
Centennial Commissioners are entitled to
compensation under the act of Congress
creating them supervisory body has been
submitted to a number of the leading lawyers
of this and other cities by the Board of FL
nance, and the decision has been unani-
mously in the negative. Yet it appears
from our Philadelphia letter that in defiance
of this opinion the Commissioners are paid
by the Board, and that the Board declines ia
furnish statement of the expenditures to
the public This kind Of thing will not suit
the people who are expected to pay the ex.
penses of the Exhibition. There is no rea-
son why the exact cost of the Centennial fair
and its exact receipts should not be pub
ished every week. 1t is not private but .
national enterprise, and the managers are
simply trustees for the people.

The Indian Battle.

General Crooks command has had sharp
skirmish with the Sioux warriors who have
deserted the Red Cloud Agency for the pur-
pose of preventing intrusion into the Black
Hills country. Three thousand more war
riors are reported to have left the reserya-
ton in war paint, and it looks as if we
are to have q serious Indian war. These
reports have reached us through many per-
lis, and it is only through dangers escaped
that we are able to print this important
news this morning. General Crook is to be
congratulated upon the vigor he shows in
pursuing the savages and we may be sure
that he will teach these treacherous maraud-
ers salutary lesson before he gets through
with them. But the necessity of an expedi-
ton of this kind is in itself sad commentary
on our Indian policy. For years and years
we have been feeding these wild men Of the
woods in the vain hope that they could be
civilized and Christianized, but during the
whole history of the Republic the savage has
gone upon the warpath whenever he grew
tired eating the bread he had not earned.
The Sioux, especially, must be compelled to
undergo a very different experience. The
Indian must be made to work and required
to take his place in the new order of life to
which it is necessary he should conform by
force and not merely by moral suasion. Il
he goes to war then the only thing for him
and his tribe is determination. It has long
been evident that no other policy would
settle this Indian question and this latest
Indian battle is only another proof of it.

A FRANTIC LOCOMOTIVES,

The train of the New York and
Philadelphia Company's New Line
which left Philadelphia at 1870.
D. M, on the | lth inst. consisting
of an engine, baggage and smoking
ear and eight passenger coaches, all
we'll filled, while running into the
depot of the Central Railroad, of
New Jersey, about 4:l5, P. m, at
Jersey City, the air brake broke,
and the engine Consequently DOSING
all contF j of the train, passed beyond
the end of the track, crossed about
sixty feet of stone pavement, thence
through a building, tearing away
the partitions and plunged into the
river, baggage and smoking cars
following. Fortunately there were
but three persons in the baggage ear,
the baggage master who jumped off
without injury, and two others who
ran to the other end Of the car were
thrown into the water, but escaped
with slight bruises. The smoking
car landed on top of the baggage
car and turned over, the passengers
escaping though the windows. The
remainder of the train escaped with
out injury to the passengers or cars.
The engineer and fireman saved
themselves by jumping, but the for
mer is considerably bruised. There
were but five persons injured to
any extent.

An Unanswerable Argument.

The strongest argument which can be urged
against the advisability of administering such
corrosive and nerve destroying poisons as ar
senic and quinine for intermittent and remittent
levers, is the vastly superior in the pre-
vention and cure OF such diseases OF medicine
which is the very antipode Of the above named
drugs, both in respect Of its composition aud the
results wrought by it. Such medicine is Hos
letters Stomach Bitters, a purely vegetable
preparation. which not only eradieates with
wonderful promptitude every trace Of fever and
ague and kindred Types Of malarous disease,
from the system, but is a certain preventive OF
all maladies begotten Of masma tainted air and
water. These results mineral anti rbrile acme
dies do not effect with certainty. aud their CON
tinued use entails consequences highly per
nieious TO the system The Bitters, on the con-
trary, not only afford speedy relief, but estab-
lish health on a permanet basis.

ONE WAY TO BE MISERABLE.

If you want to be miserable, think
constantly about yourself, your woes
and your cares, your trials and your
tribulations pity yourself for the
troubles and tribulation you have to
bear and the evils that aflict you.
Magnify every evil, see no comfort
or blessing in the path life's stern
destiny has planted your feet in /;
and if you want to make your
friends miserable too, keep your sad
fate ever before them forget that
they may have bitter trials of their
own, and insist upon entertaining
them with recital of your peculiar
troubles, and seek for their constant
sympathy and coincidence. You will
accomplish your amiable purpose by
this course, but before long you will
find yourself your only sympathizer,
for your friends will vote you an un>
mitigated bore, and seek more con-
genial society, and avoid yours like
pestilsuce.
