THE sOUTa's wOHSr ENEMIES ARE

these, and these alone, to migrate. If
the HeTdld had gone tins far, its advice
would have been fGultless. 1t is often
asked why the South does rot prosper The
products of Southern industry are of enor
mus value. The account current of the
Uniied Safes with foreign nations is ad-
jrSted by the sugar. cotton, rice, tobacco
md hemp of the SJurh. d. spite the fact
that the people toll more iudustriously
than ever before, fifty whites going into
the fields for each one that held the plow-
handles in 1860, the South does not present
those indications of prosperity that dis
tinguish Northern Communities. The
reason is obvious. However great tue vol
une of SDu.hern production, the whole
sum, beyond that expended for bare sub
,istence, is absorbed by wretched systems
Of local governments administered by rep
resentatiVts of knavery or stupidity. There
fore, in the Gulf States, there are wide dis
ricts, such as Senat II Morton described, in
which there has not been a fence re-
built or house renovated since the
cess .tiun of hoslilIties between the States
But there is another evil palpable here and
confessed by all thoughtful people, which
he HeraId fails to define. Federal offices
n the South, of all grades, are never filed
ny Southern people. Grants favoriies
send hither the personal friends. Federal
offices in the South constitute the proper
p'under, in Grants eyes, of his meanesi
minions. There are many exceptions to
the rule, bur the general truth is that when
a scrVitor of some potent Radical chi6ftain

revolt if he were clothed with Office at

Us remorselessy. Statements affecting
uarshalships in Arkansas, and of the ex
actions levied by Federal courts upon the
government and upon helpless Iitigants
have been often published, showing what
vast sums are stolen and wrested from the
people and sent into distant States
Moreover, all sums expended by the costly
system of Federal sway in the South
pass into the hands of those who expend
nothing here and invest only in property
beyond the Ohio. Many, many millions
are thus drawn from these States, and yet
Senator Morton, seeing the facts Of retro
gression wherever Africa reigns, or rather
the carpet-bagger through the Intervention
of Africa, holds up his sanity hands in un
feigned horror and, shaking the bloody
shirt, ascribes retrogression and dec!y to
idleness, whisky and negro killing. 1t is
rather the killing by slow torture of a once
prosperous and beautiful country. The
,ardy progress of dissolution makes It's
pangs none the less intolerable. 1t is dying

why the South should prefer him, for they
would feel more sure of justice
from any democratic President than
from the most moderate republican. The
South wants the democratic party to succeed,
and if the patriotic war Governor Of New
Jersey would conciliate the support of re-
publicans who are disguised with their own
party the South would be better pleased to
see him nominated than democrat whose
opposition to the administration Of President
Lincoln would lose him votes. All the re-
publican weapons drawn from the old
armory would fall harmless at the feet of
Governor Parker, who is, moreover, per-
fectly upright and fair-minded man, and
has always been highly esteemed in his own
State by citizens OF both parties. Whatever
may be thought of Mr.. Parker's chances, he
has put the canvass in one of the points Of
view from which it will be wise for the dem
ocratic party to look at it.

The republican canvass is interesting.
Blaine's demise makes the road easier for
certain candidates and more embarrassing for
others. AS the field now looks Conkling
leads, with the Galena horse gaining.
Blaine is distanced and already limps off
the track. Mulligans blow hamstrung him.
Bristow falls behind. The people do
not fancy sentimental, detective candidate.
But as the struggle between Conkling and
Washburne deepens the chances of the
dark horse seem to improve. SO far MS New
York is concerned the nominee will be
Conkling or nobody. This would throw the
candidate beyond the Alleghanies. and after
Washburne the strongest is Hayes.
The Western politicians are better man
ayers than our New York men. They know
politics. With them it is business. They
are men of convictions They believe in
their section and stand by their candidates.
If Conkling should defeat Wnshburne the
chances are that Hayes will win.
So far as Conkling and Washburne are
concerned either would make good candi-
date, and, if elected, good President. Conk-
ling represents the courage, the discipline
and the6incerity Of the party. His nomina-
ton would be an unequivocal Endorsement
Of the administration-the triumph of the
regular army. The success of Washburne
would be that of the reform element, of the
disaffected wings of the party, of those who
believe in republican principles and fear
that they have been injured by the President
making the administration personal.

The democratic canvass at st. Louis is now
Of secondary importance, as much depends
upon what the republicans will do at Gin
cinnati. But, at the same time, there are GER
tain features Of interest in it as far as it goes
If Tilden should find his canvass a failure,
either through mutiny in the West or the
adoption of the two-thirds rule by the
Southern. vote, why would it not be wise for
the Governor to cross the ferry and find his
dark horse in the historic county Of Mon
mouth?
New Jersey is rafting, glorious, true
blue, sterling little State. She was the Bel
GUM Of the Revolution, and if there is any
sacred soil within the Republic it is the soil
Of Monmouth, Princeton and Trenton. It
was in the Jerseys that Washington won vic
tory, independence and fame. Jersey pa
triotism has borne its natural fruit in Jersey
justice, MS our murderers in the
Tombs would discover if they chal-
lenged the judgment of Jersey jury.
In the war for the Union Jersey came
to the front under generals like Kearny and
a governor like Parker. During that pro-
longed and fierce contest her banner was
always in the 'front.' The highway, and in
some senses the suburb Of the two great
cities and States Of the Union, New Jersey
represents the best elements of Philadelphia
and New York--of the Quaker and the
Knickerbocker. Why would it not be we'll
to 90 into New Jersey if Great Unknown is
needed at st. Louis and see what kind Of
mettle there is in Parker2
Bayard and Tilden keep their lead for st.
Louis Seven years of Grant do not predis-
pose us to Hancock or any captain, however
renowned. Hancock's chance will come
with the next war. Hendricks means revo-
luton and reputation, and Aliens chances
are merged in those of Grandfather Peter
Cooper, who is already in the field on an
Allen platform, while the Ohio statesman
has not even O nomination.
AS to Bayard, there is no nonsense more
degrading than the avorment that his war
record would harm him. His course was
that of gentleman and patriot. All this
talk about ''war records is contemplate
and unpatriotic. We fought the South and
won, and let MS have an end of the Southern
question in politics Bayard did nothing
during the war to forfeit the esteem Of any
gentleman in the Republic, North or South.

1t isa peculiar and in some respects
gratifying fact that the leading candidates
on both sides are from New York. The
democrats present Tilden, the republicans
Conkling. They are both men of intellec
tual ability, Of rare force and honesty. Eithe
would do New York honor in the Presidency
More than this, we have a fine lot of states
men in reserve on both sides. The repub
licans have General Dix, William NJ. Evarts
George William Curtis, John JAY, HamiL
ton Fish, Edwin d. Morgan and William A
Wheeler, any one of whom would adorn the
White House. The democrats have s. f.
Church, John I. Hoffman, Horatio Seymour.
Henry G. Murphy and s. s. Cox, who have
oil been named for the Presidency. This
does not include the fine stock Of nursery

charges, all of which were brought in regu-
lar form before the British authorities. Is
he, by the adrotness of his defenders, to
escape justice? Is this necessary in order to
protect the right of asylum? Or take another
and recent case, where a vessels crew had
mutinied and killed the captain. They were
surrendered on charge of murder but the
only witness who had seen the fatal blow
struck and had beheld the dead body Of the
captain disappeared. Was it necessary or
just to set the criminals free? They were,
in fact, we believe, tried for mutiny or for
assault with attempt to kill, and convicted.
il the act of Parliament had declared that
person surrendered under an extradition
treaty might be tried for any crimes or
offences mentioned in the treaty, and none
others, we should think this reasonable,
and should hold it wise to change the present
treaty to that effect But even in that case,
while the treaty remains as it stands, its
terms cannot be altered by the legislative
act of one of the contracting nations nor
the manner or conditions of its enforcement
suddenly changed and this seems to be the
real point at issue. We trust Secretary Fish
has, in the despatch which is now on the
way to London, put an end to what has be-
come tedious discussion and required
definite answer to tho demand for Winslow.

SUNDAY AT THE EXHIBITION. If our Phila-
delphia correspondent is correctly informed
the closing of the Centennial Exhibition on
Sunday is becoming more and more unpop-
ular The reasons given nre plausible.
Sunday is the only time which the majority
of our people can spare from business and
employ for recreation or study, and they
feel, under this restrictive law, like the
young prince who wept because he had lost
a day. The only practical objection to the
rule is that the opening Of the Exhibition on
Sunday would impose additional labor upon
exhibitors and employees. Yet this, we be-
lieve, could be easily removed. The in
creased profits would enable the managers
to employ extra labor, and many of the ex-
hibitors would be very glad of the oppor-
tunity to show their goods. The post offices,
the hotels, the drug stores, the street cars,
the barrooms, the restaurants, are all open
on Sunday. and the Exhibition ought to be
governed by similar principles which con-
Germ tho convenience or the necessities Of
the public. -.

We print an interesting conversation with
Ex-Governor Joel Parker, who acquired n
bright and enviable reputation as demo-
cratic war Governor. and is now the iavorite
candidate of the New Jersey democrats for
the ST. Louis nomination. His war record
would neither help him nor harm him in the
South, for the electoral votes of the Southern
states will be given almost unanimously for
any candidate whom tho National Convcn-
ton may nominate. If Governor Parker's
admirnblc war record will mako him more
popular in the North that IL . strong reason

ANOTHER COMMUNIST SENTENCED TO DIE
After so many years that have elapsed since
the days of the Commune the civilized
world is startled by the announcement that
another Communist must die for his mis-
deeds during that bloody civil strife in
France Why has not the criminal been
promptly punished for his offence, and has
not the time arrived when the policy of
mercy should be applied in cases where
justice has been so tardy in striking? These
are questions deserving consideration just
now in France.

Tho Jerome Park opening was unusually
we think of the splendor of the attendance
on Saturday, the beauty, the wealth, the
fashion, the display. We are glad to note
this general acceptance of the turf as the
royal amusement An indication of the
growing interest in outdoor enjoyments
fact, that while last year there was
but one drag in the Jerome Park,
on Saturday there were seven or eight. In
other sports there is the same interest which
marks the jerome opening. Colonel Kane's
coach still runs to Pelham, and next season
ming into the delightful suburbs which sur.
round New York. The new game of Polo
new to rs, but with q celebrity which
extends from London to Bombay-has taken
root. The yachtsmen are making ready fol
the pillows the boating men are preparing
cricketers and base ball players are ready
with ball and bat and wicket the marks
men are cleaning their rifles, and, altogether,
we look forward for busy season.
We are glad of this, as we are glad of any.
thing that gives us manliness. We
give too much time to the almighty
dollar, too little to the almighty
body, in the development of which we
are sure to find truer national character.
1t was the glory of tho Greek and the Roman
that they never sacrificed themselves to the
pursuit of gain. England to-day, with her
wealth and resources, feels q keener interest
in boat race on the Thames than in the fall
of the Grand Turk. Here England shows
her wisdom. We, too, shall be wise if we
follow her example, and remember that God
made the mir, the sea and the fields for our
uses and that we should seek health and
manhood in their. enjoyment.

STREET DIscIpLyE.-We trust that our
city rulers will not permit our cab and car
riage drivers to go around at night with un-
lighted vehicles. Our streets are narrow
and not brilliantly lighted. As we are
always tearing down or building up they
are at times very dangerous The neglect
of simply carrying a lighted lamp is
seen in the fact that accidents are
always occurring in the metropolis
This arises from the selfishness of carriage
owners or the negligence of carriage drivers.
The police should stop every vehicle that
violates this precaution and punish the
offenders. 1t would be a much better bust
ness than making raids on music saloons
and beer gardens.

The arrival of Jarrett and Palmer's
transcontinental express at San Francisco
at twenty-five minutes past nine o'clock
yesterday morning, bearing copies Of the New
YORK HERALD Of Thursday last is one of
the greatest triumphs over old Father Time
that the age has recorded. A journey Of
three thousand three hundred and sixteen
miles in eighty-three hours and twenty
minutes, or fraction less than forty
miles on hour, including oil stop
pages and delays is an accomplishment that
marks distinct err in railroad travelling.
Perhaps the most remarkable thing about the
journey is that it has not required any other
appliance to complete it than those already in
use, except the injection of that quality which
to-day we call enterprise, and which Chris
topher Columbus illustrated for his belit-
tiers when he crushed in the end of the egg
over three centuries ago. The same track,
engines, cars, fuel, water and off,
cials were used to lessen this journey
by three days that had combined to keep
the time of transit from ocean to ocean twice
as long during the past seven years The
hand, and which commanded the
ready service of . thousand trained
hands, was what made the trip from
Jersey City to Oakland marvel among
the achievements of the rail. To all
concerned in it, from Messrs. Jarrett
and Palmer down to the Chinese laborcrs
in Weber Canyon, debt of gratitude is due
which the warm instincts of the American
people for all that smacks of material
progress will promptly recognize and
pay. That it is but the extension on SUI
perb scale of what the HERALD, humbly full
filling its duty to the public, has done
in the way of fast trains over shorter routes,
detracts nothing from the brilliant feat Of
the gentlemen at the head of the present sue
cessful transcontinental express. In starting
the HERALD special fast trains to Philadelphia
and Saratoga we but transferred to the SER
vice of our readers what had already been
the almost exclusive right of railroad mag
mates in hurry to travel from point to point
To some of the long fast dashes made upon
the New York Central, record of which
will be found elsewhere, we would refer our
readers. In such occasional feats the
HERALD saw its chance to make them
permanent benefit to the community, and
the fast mail train to the West was the first
broad application Of this open secret to the
Post Office service. What is to-day q won
der in the transcontinental journey will
not easily be surpassed or even equalled for
many day, but as it has shown that the
thing can be done, we hope to see
regular train soon attempt to emulate the
time of Jarrett and Palmers express, and SO
shove back further into the Dark Ages the
time when the old emigrant road across the
Plains was strewn with the graves of men
who started with horse and wagon, and
when the pony express seemed revelation.
