DEsEcBArIoN OF LINcoLN's ToMB-The
attempted desecration of the tomb of
the late President Lincoln is one Of
those stories which would seem to be-
long to imaginative rather than real
crime. 1t is difficult to believe that
sven the worst of criminals would plan and
endeavor to execute such project. Had
1t succeeded the whole world would have
regarded it with horror, and we may we'll
believe that the expectation of ransom with
which the crime was planned would have led
TO the final detection of the criminals, even
If they had succeeded in concealing their
purpose until its accomplishment And
even now, with the full details we have of
the affair, it is difficult to conceive Of such
crime or to accept the scheme as a reality.

Tho Closing of tho Centennial Loan
Exhibition.


Last night the most important exhibition
of art ever held in America was brought
to close at the Academy of Design and
Metropolitan Museum of Art, after a career
80 successful that it fairly astonished its orgi-
nators. 1t was q magnificent proof of the
cultivated taste andSpublic spirit of the
wealthy citizens of New York that they took
from their houses priceless treasures of art
to place them at the service of their less for
tunate fellow citizens and offer new source
Of pleasure to our country and foreign Wis
itors. The exhibition was also intended
to do a desirable work in helping to
pay off the debts of the Academy of Design
and of the Metropolitan Museum of Art, and
this important work it has practically &C
complished. During the time the Loan
Exhibition has been open to the public
more than one hundred and sixty thousand
persons have visited it. An interest has
been shown in the art works unpre-
cedented in the history of art in America.
The total receipts from all sources will be
close on fifty.onc thousand dollars. Whether
educational or tho financial point of
view it must DO pronounced fattering sue
cess. Too much honor cannot be given to
gentlemen like Messrs. Sherwood, Belmont
and Taylor, who began the good work and
carried it to such a splendid issue. The
artists WHO co-operated may also congratu-
late themselves on the result. 1t did good
service also in giving our foreign visitors q
more correct notion of the art taste of the
most cultivated of our art patrons, and cor
rected Spy false impressions our visitors
may have formed as to the state Of our art
education.

huge train of evils from which We
still suffer. The country has not forgotten
these things. nor the agency of the demo-
cratic party in bringing them ON MS,
Modesty is virtue the democratic poll
ticians will do well to cultivate. We repeat
what we said yesterday. the people will not
tolerate for an instant anything which
looks to disorderly or violent attempt
to grasp power; they will resent in
stantly and fercely even anything in
their conduct or language which could be
construed into threat to do so. Let the
democratic leaders join frankly in efforts to
disentangle the present political maze.
Let them show decent confidence in the
honor of their respectable opponents,
and if they shall prove to be beaten, which
may happen, let them take their defeat
good naturedly, and thus they will do more
to regain permanent place in the conf.
dence of the people than in any other way.

COUNTING THE LOUISIANA voTK-The
HERALD suggested yesterday that commits
sion of prominent and good men of both
parties, in whose fairness the public has
sonfidence, could most readily satisfy
the public mind about the vote of
Louisiana. The President now makes
"a similar suggestion, but he seems to
MS to be infelicitous in his selection of re-
publicans The names he is reported to
have recommended are not such names as
would satisfy both parties We should
say that such republicans as Mr..
Evarts, Judge Hoar and General Dix
would inspire greater confidence, and on
the democratic side we would suggest Mr.
Belmont, Mr.. OConor and Mr.. Groesbeck.
The men Of both sides ought to be of ma
honal reputation for fairness and on impair
bal spirit 1t is not work for mere parti-

Tho Troops in tho South.

We understand that some prominent DEM
ocrats complain of the order issued yester-
day by General Grant supplying troops to
the federal commanders in Louisiana and
Florida. They are reported to say that in
this the President is violating the constitu-
ton.
The President of the United States has the
constitutional right to send troops into any
State, county or township in the United
States at any time, to quarter them there as
long as he pleases and to move them about
as he thinks the public service shall demand.
In sending troops to General Augur in
Louisiana at this moment the President
acts most wisely. There is in that State,
naturally, an extreme condition Of excite
ment it is of the greatest importance that
order shall be maintained until the dispute
about the election is settled. The mere pres
ence Of the troops will restrain the passions
Of both sides. The soldiers can do nothing
to influence the result one way or another.
The election has been held.s The votes are
cast. The returns are by this time in New
Orleans, where they will be canvassed in
the presence of leading men of both parties
from the North, and all complaints will
have hearing. 1t is mere folly, under
these circumstances, to suspect or i'm
pugn the motives of the President
in sending troops to the State. When Cen
eral Grant allowed Governor Chamberlain
to use troops before the election in South
Carolina the HERALD was the first to declare
that he had committed an error, o political
blunder. and we do not doubt that this
act of the administration did lose
the republicans thousands Of votes.
But even then it did not occur
to us to assert that the President had
no constitutional right to quarter United
States troops in any State of the Union. We
advise our democratic friends to keep cool
They made mistake in 1861 which has cost
them and the country very dear. If they
should make another mistake Of the kind it
will cost them very much dearer The coun-
try means that there shall be fair play, but
it does not mean to stand any nonsense

Tho weather-Another Rain storr

Tho Weather-Another Rain Storm.
As already announced in the HERALD. the
storm centre now developing in the North
west has assumed decided form, and we
may look for it in New York State
by tomorrow or Monday morning. The
pressure at Bismarck, Dakota, last even
ing was remarkably low, being 1929 inches,
and the isobars eastward were close together,
indicating barometric gradient of one
tenth of an inch to hundred miles. A still
greater depression will probably take place
at the centre of disturbance when it de-
scends into the Upper Mississippi or Lower
Missouri region, where the atmosphere rap
Yesterdays light rain was due to the sudden
movement southwark along the coast of the
low pressure that accompanied the recent
rain area before the corresponding move
ment of the area of high pressure which
was central in the northern part of Lower
Canada. In the West the afternoon tenn
perature at Yankton reached "A degrees
and at North Platte n degrees phenom-
enon worthy of the attention of meteorolo-
gists, because Of the fact that the surround
ing regions had temperatures Of II to 20
degrees lower. As yet no rain has resulted
from the development OF the storm, but will
follow its eastward advance. The effect of
the approaching rainfall on the Croton water
supply may be very beneficial, but at pres
ent it is difficult to determine what increase
it will cause therein. ; The weather in New
York to-day promises to be cool and cloudy,
followed by higher temperature and possi-
bly, rain.

A Welcome Yisitor.

The temperance of Mr.. Dion Boucicault
in his quaint creation of Conn, the
Shaughraun," at Wallack's charming
pleasure Only to see the mischievous
twinkle in the eyes of Conn and to hear the
unctuous softness of the vagabond's brogue
is real relaxation in this season of political
nerve-tension. You do not see his dog, Tat
ters. but the playgoer who has modicum
terialize him at pleasure as fully, at
least, as Mr.. Hewitt and Zach Chand-
Ter have been able to materialize
their majorities. To see Mr.. Gilbert
as the old parish priest alone is as
good as course Of the beatitudes.
Indeed, from the sentimental English
captain to Harvey Duff, the Irish "informer,"
there is nothing wanting to make the pic
ture perfect. With such ladies in the cast
as Miss Dyas, Miss Wood, Nine.
Ponisi, Mrs. Seton and Miss Baker
we have q fine balance to the
male portion. One of the great secrets Of
the success of 'sThe Shaughraun" is that, in
addition to the story being full of dramatic
interest in the acts after the first,
every character is clear type. It
has been argued that these are
hackneyed, but so is human nature, SO
are the Alps, SO is the ocean To have
an author like Mr.. Boucicault, who can
write such play and who can interpret
its leading role as no other man could, ia
q great boon to New York. If, as we
take Mr. Boucicault's speech on Thurs.
day night to convey, he intends re-
naming with us, we congratulate him
on his resolve and America on the stimulus
its drama will receive With Mr.. Bouci-
cault and Mr.. Lester Wallack permanently
combining their efforts 10 entertain the pub
lie we should be able to announce new ere
in the Thespian art. May it prove true.

The Next aou.. Of Representative.

The Next House OF Representative.
The observant reader will have noticed
that in the list of Congressman we have
published from day to day. since the cleo
ton there has been a change of name in
several instances from an original estimate,
but slight change. if any. from the demo-
cratic majority in the next House of Repre-
sentatives. No changes likely to occur in
the figures we present this morning can
change the majority from twenty-five. where
we now place it, to lower number, while
complete returns from South Carolina and
Wisconsin are likely to increase rather than
diminish the democratic majority. AS
regards the standing, of the House, it will be
of about the same calibre in the Forty-fifth
takes the place of Blaine as the representa-
tive of the dramatic element in the opposi-
ton, and on the democratic side Lamar will
be the most sadly missed. With these ex-
ceptions the leaders on both sides will be
pretty much the same. Sayler will
be Speaker, as matter of course,
Cox having sacrificed the chance which
possession gave him to his opposition to
Tilden at st. Louis The organization of the
committees, too, will be very much the same,
Morrison and Randall and Cox and Swami
being all reelected and entitled to the'cour-
tesy of their places in the committees of
Ways and Means, Appropriations, Banking
and Currency and Foreign Affairs. Knott is
also reelected and, we presume. will be able
to hold his place at the head Of the Judiciary
Committee. Only two important committees
will be remodelled, those on the Pacific Rail-
road and on Commerce. Lamar was chair
man of the one and Hereford, of West
Virginia, Of the other Had General
Ward, of this city, been chosen he would
have been entitled to the craftsmanship
of the Committee on Commerce, and we
shall not be surprised if the new Speaker
takes advantage of these circumstances to
repair the injustice done to Mr.. Wood
through the prejudices of the late Speaker.
These speculations are only valuable at this
time as showing that the present regime in
the House will be continued for at least two
years of the coming administration, and as
forecasting the kind Of legislation we may
expect in the near future. The next will be
the complete counterpart of the present
House of Representatives in every essential
feature the only difference being in the alb
sence of one distinguished statesman on
each side and in the smaller majority which
the country has accorded to the democratic
party.

Chinese Habitati0ns.

Eastern architects may get some
hints OF things to follow or avoid from q
description which the Virginia City
Chronicle gives Of the structure erected
by the Cinnamon in that city: Between
fights tho Chinaman is IN industrious
animal. Just now he is turning his en-
crgies to building, and, like his fight
ing, some Of it is contrary to law and
also shocking 10 correct architectural
taste. On the northwest corner Of I and
Union streets John has created mar
velous affair. It is built out far enough
to occupy q third Of tho roadway. The
front elevation (height i've feet) is COM
posed Of odds md ends Of stone picked
up III the neighborhood. Tho one win
dow is formed OF three oil cans-two up
right and the other laid across tho top.
The roof Of this edihce, which has q
frontage Of about twenty-five feet and a
depth Of thirty or more, would make a
handsome playground for Il school, as it
is perfectly fiat and composed of earth.
The interior, which tho reporter
doubled himself up to enter, is divided
into numerous little dens and one spa
cious saloon, with earthcn floor and one
oil.can window. The place is shortly to
DO opened as q restaurant, provided the
police do not interfere, which they
should do. The idea OF utilizing oil
ems for building material has been
eagerly seized by other Celestials, and
tho consequence is numerous fireproof
Shanties. The cans, filed with earth
and piledone upon another, makea solid
wall, and no bullet can penetrate them
not slight consideration these times.
Underground residences aro also popu-
lar. A big square hole is dug into the
hillside, covered in with sticks, straw,
and m occasional plank. Tho door is
naturally furnished by the Eastern
slope. Although such tribes as light
and mir are left out OF consideration, the
hombproof character Of the under.
ground structure has a charm for the
Chinese inhabitant. The only drawback
to such n house is tho pr; liability that
on some rainy night IN enemy may take
it into his slaven head to dig trench
md direct tho water Of the street down
tho chimney.
