New-York tribune., 1876-09-30

The strain on Gen. Newton, last week, was
too heavy. He kept his head beautifully about
the explosion, but lost it completely in reply"
ing to Mr.. VIM. +. DOdge's letter on the Sun
day question. We say this without in the least
disputing his declaration that it was neces-
sity that the explosion should occur on last
Sunday at ten minutes before three o'cleck'
and on 10 other day and at no other hour
whatever. This he states on his responsibility
as an engineer, which nobody will challenge.
But there was enough that was startling III
the situation and repugnant to the feelings OF
our best people, to give a full warrant for
Mr.. Dodge's protest. There was nothing in the
protest to warrant Gen. Newton's abusive
reply and there was everything in. Mr.,
Dodge's character, public service and age 10
entitle him to respectful treatment. The cor
respondent who discusses the question ID
another column clearly has the right of It,
Gen. NewtOn's hot temper and strained nerves
have betrayed him into false position

New-York tribune., 1876-09-30

Mr.. Seymour's speech at Utica will do the
Democrats good turn in dispelhng the notion
that he is not at heart in favor of Mr.. Tildens
election. But there are passages in 1t too
moderate for Democratic liking. His propOsi-
ton to "leave the Senate with its vast power
and control of appointments in the hands of
" the Republicans must have sent cold chill
down the backs of the Reform Democracy.
New-York tribune., 1876-09-30

Gov. FentOn, IN meeting the question
"whether the Republican party, with its de-
"moralized administrative record of the past
" few years, can DO trusted to work out re-
"forms in the civil service" does so with the
frankpess of one who had the courage to act
upon his convictions, even when they ranged
him against the Republican party His decision
is that which has been reached by an over
whelming majority Of the men with whom he
then acted.

tions as well as OFF Halletts Point. Even II
the Sound passage should never be used by
Atlantic steamers, the benefit of the work to

New-York tribune., 1876-09-30

In other days, Mr.. Charles Francis Adams
was about the last man in the world who
would have been expected to join in the un-
reasoning Democratic cry for change-a
change, not because it is necessary or wlsc'
but because it viii upset things, and spill some
thing into the Democratic maw. Yet the let
ter of Mr.. Adams, greeted last night with
Democratic yells of delight, cries for a
"change" with the lOudest, and borrows Its
logic and even its alusiOns from the shrill and
shallow Democratic press. There was a time
when Mr. Adams was more cautious when
change seemed to him iraught with so much
danger that he preferred second term OF
Ulysses S. Grant to one term OF Horace
Greeley. Now, Greeley paid his income tax.
New-York tribune., 1876-09-30

Gen. Tchernayeff has again let slip the
" dogs of war;" He resOlutely refused to pro-
long the truce, and on Thursday tackled the
Turks, whom he routed with heavy loss. This
bold act DESTROYS all prospect of immediate
peace. The Porte, which is to decide on the
Great Powers proposals tomorrow, can hardly
be expected to accept terms which the Ser
vans disdainfully reject Everything therefore
indicates Winter campaign, Favored by the
elements, and reinforced by the Russian vol
untcers, Gen. Tchemayetf has strong induce
ments to prolong the war until next Spring.
The readiness with which Montenegro has
rejected the proposed armistice shows that she
is still resolved to stand by her ally.
