New York Tribune Extra

The New York Tribune has done the
country service by publishing in its con-
venient pamphlet extra" form the five
principal ora,ions delivered on the Centen-
NAL Fourth of July, together with Bay ard
Taylor's Ode read at the Philadelphia cele-
bration, and the shorter poems by Bryant,
Whittier, and Holmes. The orations, all
of which are given in full, are those Of Mr..
Evarts at Philadelphia, the Rev. DR.. Storrs
at New York, Charles Francis Adams At
Taunton, Mass, Henry Ward Beecher at
Peekskill, y. Y, and Mr.. Robert C..
Winthrop at Boston-a collection OF
great present and historic value,
which it will be difficult if not i'm
possible ever to duplicate No other p Ibli-
cation is offered, or likely TO be, in which
all Of the orations and poems contained in
the Tribune Extra can be obtained and Il e
price at which the pamphlet is sold twenty
five cents, postpaid,D makes it almost the
duty not less than the privilege Of every
citizen to provide himself with a copy. OF
the interest and importance of the orations
nothing need be said-the names OF the ora

Mr.. EDITOR: All my life long l have be-
held, with most respect, the man who knew
himself, and knew the ways before him, and
from amongst them chose considerately,
with clear foresight, not blind-fold cour-
age. And having chosen, with a steadiast
mind, pressed his purposes. Now, Mr.. Edi
tor, to enumerate, every thing that aids in
constituting the strength Of this great Re-
public, you must in the first place diminish
taxation, Foster agriculture, dissipate pow
erty, which will give self reliance and union
to her people; is it fancy. sir, that fosters
those bright results, or is it reason? think
it is the latter. can show it by arguments
which can be applied to the prospective
condition OF nations or individuals; argu-
ments by analogy; analogy to the affairs Of
high officials; analogy between the Affairs
of this great Republic. Yes, analogy (ad
in6aifum and those of an individual is, OF
course, to limited extent. Notwithstand-
ing it il still considerable, it follows, gen.
orally, that which contributes most to the
prosperity of the individual, contributes also
To the prosperity of the Republic. 1t is also
true that a man will manage his own busi-
ness, if laboriny under no personal incap &C.
ity, consequently, there is no reason what
ever, why the same principle should not
hold good with regard to our country sal
vation. Permit me TO make reference to the
German sentiment, as appeared in the ST.
Louis Times of the 26Lh: at NAV not be
out of place to say about this reigning cor
ruption and its Iesults,of course there are al
ways men in the country that are ever will
ling to sacrifice the welfare of nation, or
their own interests. Dishonesty and neg
lect of official duty, are not new to US here
in America But when corruption becomes
the rule in a nat ion, and official probity the
exception, then, say, it requires Hercules
to suppress it," The confederation, | hope,
may prove profitable, to that remedy may
be applied.
Your vessel, Colonel, lies at anchor; not
altogether broken. There is hope for the
future, let happen whatsoever will, to save
you, BY swimming, if you only contribute
your support in favor of Tilden as chief
magistrate, and Hendricks for Vice.

the Rugby county court, in which lady
OF independent means sued butcher for

rarty was represented by a solicitor. The
defense was that the defendant shot the
cuckatoo, mistaking it for an owl The
fellow-bird of the deceased was brought
into court, and while the solicitors were ar

a compromise Of the action, strongly recon-

Postmaster James said yesterday, in re-
gard to the ~ithdrawal OF the fast mail
trains: at is a great public calamity, and
will most certainly be felt throughout the
country. The establishment of these trains
by Messrs. Vanderbilt and Scott was a mag
nihcent contribution to the public, and was
undoubtedly greatly appreciated. The in
crease IN postal matter after the starting of
this system was fully one-third. At iirst
the newspapers will feel the discontinuance
most, but in few days merchants and ban
kers will be especially embarrassed. IL dis-
arranges very many OF our plans, and
makes necessary the employment of lar
ger force, not alone in this city, but in al
most every Post Office in the land. The
New York mail left Chicago on Saturday
evaning at 10 p. m, on the lzst East-bound
mail train, and arrived here Monday at ,
a. N. Hereafter the Chicago Monday morn
ing mail will take exactley forty-eight
hours to arrive in New York, an enforced
delay of seventeen hours.
Assistant Postmas aster Pierson and General
Superintendent Ioumans also expressea
most decidedly the opinion that the discon-
tinuance Of the fast train would be an i'm
mense loss to the community.
III y. Vail, Superintendent Of the Rail-
way Mail Service, who is stllI in the city
making arrangements for the transmission
OF the mails, said: Ii is popularity sup
posed that the ia-t mail trains have alor
been discontinued, and although this Itself
would be most serious hindrance to the
rapid transmissions Of postal matter, still

no reports of damage by wind, have been
received. Several severe shocks from light
ming, however, were felt, and in one instance
the fluid struck the top Of a frame house on
Ottawa street. between the Esplanade and
Second street, occupied by Mr.. John Win

chimney, abou. half past ten o'clock, and
running through into the building, Knocked
off considerable quantity of plaster from
the ceiling of bedroom occupied by Miss
Emma Winberg, who was in bed at the
time The debris fell on her bed, and all
around her, but she escaped uniniured, al
though terribly frightened.
A large tree on the Esplanade, near the
house, was also struck about the same time,
and several OF the branches were wrenched
off BY the shock.

The highly interesting letter which we
print elsewhere describing the march of
General Terrys command from Fort Lincoln
westward to the Little Missouri River gives
good ground for thinking that if there is any
necessity for furnishing the hostile Sioux
the comprehensive plan of three different
bodies of troops operating from different
points was necessary. Sitting Bull who had
been reported on the Little Missouri, is not
and has not been there within six months
So far, therefore, it has been wild goose
chase, with the probability that Sitting Bull
himself had something to do with it. Gen.
eral Crook, who is marching for the Same
point from the south, has met plenty of In
dams, but not in masses, and we have no
news from General Gibbon, who was at last
accounts moving down the Yellowstone in
search Of this same Sitting Bull, with his two
or three thousand warriors. II the In
dams are well informed they may sue
coed in eluding all of the bodies of
troops sent out against them. The false
information on which General Terrys force
undertook its long march we have very
little doubt was concocted by the Indians
themselves; and though this may seem
strange to Eastern readers it is one Of the
common experiences Of Indian campaigns,
and one which adds enormously to the cost
of Indian wars. There is a chance that the
hostile Indians may run against one of the
columns in attempting to avoid another,
but with campaign ground OF over fifty
thousand square miles there is room for a
good deal OF hide and seek.

home of Mr.. Bancroft Such emperors are
unfortunately rare.


The reason assigned by Mr.. Bristow for
his retirement from the Cabinet is a decorous
disguise for the true one. His private affairs
would have permitted his longer absence if
his relations with General Grant had been
mutually pleasant and satisfactory. We sup
pose the truth to be that he made volun-
tary tender of his resignation because no
would otherwise have been asked FOR it. He
has been barely tolerated in the Cabinet
since the st. Louis trials, the President not
wishing 10 force him out, because his friends
would have cried him up as the great martyr
of reform and strengthened his chances for
the Cincinnati nomination. Mr.. Bristow did
not resign earlier because his official position
was a shield against open attacks. The
friends of the President could not very well
ass,il him SO long as he was kept in the
Cabinet. The reasons ceased on both sides
as soon as Governor Hayes was nominated
at Cincinnati, and Mr.. Bristow thought
it expedient to get beforehand with
the President by at once offering the resig-
nation, which would else have been ex-
torted This, rs the whole country knows,
is the plain English of the matter; but we
approve of Mr. Bristow's reserve in making
no parade of his uncomfortable relations
with his official chief He would have acted
with more manlincss and spirit if he had
retired as soon as he knew that he no longer
possessed tho confidence of the President.
We dare say President Grant will not write
him one of those remarkable letters of
regret, friendship and Endorsement such as
he has been in the habit Of giving to men who
were forced out of Office for reasons very
different from zeal for reform-the letter to
Secretary Delano, for instance.
The speculations relating to Secretary
Bristows successor point to Governor Nor
gan. Mr.. Morgan is, perhaps, the fittest APP
pointment that could be made to that i'm
portant office. He is business man of the
highest standing, and has had wide expe-
rience in public life. He is sound to the
core on the currency question, and his per-
sonal responsibility would strengthen tho
administration. But we tear that his frank
ness and candor in his speech opening the
Cincinnati Convention may not have raised
him in the favor of President Grant His
advice to the Convention to put in its plat
form o demand for a one term amendment Of
the constitution was an implied rebuke Of
the President Such recommendation as
sumed that there is an occasion for it, and
was an implied admission that General
Grant had excited apprehensions by his
ambition for another nomination. It is
pretty safe to assume that Governor Morgan,
Notwithstanding his high character and en-
inent qualifications, will not be invited to
seat in the Cabinet.
The New York herald. [volume] (New York [N.Y.]) 1840-1920, 1876-06-19

and hostilities for the common good. We
have heard intimations that Governor Sey-
mour has actually consented to go, and we
trust that they may be confirmed. He could
not give more decisive proof that nothing
could induce him to accept nomination
himself, since the etiquette of such occasions
requires candidates to stay away, and Gov
ernor Seymour is the last man in the country
who would expose himself to the imputation
or the suspicion. of hanging about the skirts
of "A Convention with selfish object. But
he would do himself honor and deserve the
gratitude of the party as promoter Of con-
cord and a counsellor of friends who stand
apart and ought to be united.
We also hear limitations of attempts,
which may prove successful, to bring about
better state of feeling in the party in this
State in advance of the Convention. Mr..
Tilden's democratic opponents complain
that he has been too domineering and intol-
Grant in the politics of this State, and it is
limited that without conceding the justice of
this complaint, he is not unwilling to stand
aloof and make no attempt to influence the
next state convention, leaving the selection
of candidates for Governor and other State
offices to the free action Of the party. II he
satisfies the disaffected leaders that he will
have no candidates of his own, and will
leave an open field for all asprants for State
officers, it is quite possible that most Of the
New York opposition to his nomination at
st. Louis may be withdrawn. 1t is under
stood that Mr.. Tiden's favorite candidate
for the Governorship next fall has signifed
his intention to retire from the contest Il
a reconciliation should be consummated mt
home and the New York delegation to st.
to be in action, Governor. Tilden's prospects
for the nomination on an early ballot would
be very bright indeed.
