LEN BRYANT, DAVID DUDLEY FIELD, and
GEORGE OPDYKn. Pointing to the infa :
nous character OF WEED, and his notorious
ly close relations with SEWARD, these influ-
entail Republicans were very earnest in
their appeals to delegates from other Stat s
against the nomination of SEWARD. After
remarkably active canvass, which, near
the close, became both desperate and
dramatic, they were successful.
1t Is thus evident that the overthrow OF
Mr.. SEWARD at Chicago was primarily due
to the complications Of THuRLow WEED
in the Albany lobby. Luc1Us ROBINSON
was then member Of the Legislature,
and was distinguished for tireless hostility
to WEEDS venal schemes for enriching
himself and rewarding his serfs. The re-
spectacle name of EDWIN u. MORGAN was
one of the tallest intrenchments behind
which WEED was wont to hide when as
sailing the virtue Of weak but needy mem
bers OF the two Houses in that well remem-
bered session.
The scene now shifts Sixteen years
have interviewed since the acts We have de-
picted were performed. Mr.. MORGAN and
MIR. ROBINSON appear as rival candidates
for the Govornorship. Strange to say,
WEED still survives to take n prominent
part III the contest. He loves MORGAN
and no hates ROBINSON. He brought
out MoRdAS at the recent Saratoga Con-
veution, as it were creating him afrosh
He PUSHES into the arena and nssais Ron

have not been able to abate.

1t was evidently time for old Mr.. Dis
RAELI 20 retire TO the House OF Lords, under
the shadow OF lofty title. The speech which
he delivered yesterday Is sure to increase the
excitement against hs Ministry and its Turkish
policy, In Great Britain. IL is unworthy OF q
statesman or man Of sound temper, and looks
like the utterance of purblind and angry politi-
clan. Nothing could DO more discreGitable to him
than his reference to Mr. GLADSTONE. whose
denunciation Of the Bulgarian atrocities Is even
worse In DIsRAELIs eyes than the atrocities
themselves, and who Is accused OF trying to
grasp power by means Of them. SO, again, Dis
RAELis allegation that the Servlan war was
stirred up by the "secret societies" of Europe,
showed bis determination to misrepreseut tho
gravity OF the principles at Issue In that war. So,
again his denunciation Of, not the Turkish, but
the Servan Government, was utterly out OF
place. II DIsRAELI do not retire from the
leadership, his Government will be overthrown
before the end Of the year.

JOHN MILTON, the great English poet
who, two centuries ago, wrote his divine
comedy" as Prof HUXLEY calls Paradise
Lost" Is getting fun credit IN these times for
the contributions he made TO religious thought
through that work. Not long ago The Sun took
occasion to observe, In the course Of contro-
versy on the nature OF the devil, that the gigan-
tic, potential, and peculiar personality which
rises before the Imagination OF most religious
people. or, at least, OF most Protestants, as the
father OF evil monarch OF hell, enemy Of NJ an,
and torturer OF the damned, does not appear, as
that kind OF q being, in Holy Writ, but IL really
the creation Of JOHN MILTON In Paradise
Lost" There IL a spirit OF evil. or devll,
spoken OF In tho Bloc, who II there described
under various names, aud To whom certain
powers and traits are there accorded. lii not
the Biblical devil. however. but the Miltouic
devil, who is most faml' rly known in the re-
leious word-he whose portcntous figure was
originally projected on the moral horizon by the
mighty power Of JONI MILTON. In like maui
ner 1t may he said that many OF the notions ex-
tensively prevalent about hell and Paradise are
Miltonic rather than Biblical. MYflads Of peo-
pie who never read a line Of Paradise Lost"
nave been indirectly affected by its imagery,
which, we may say, has passed into the atmos-
phere OF common thought. And now, after all
this, here comes Prof. HUXLEY, the great Eng
fish master Of modern science, alleging that
the current religious ideas about the creation
OF the world are derived, not from MosFs. but
from MILTON. HUXLEY made a very striking
argument In favor Of this view In his scientific
discourse OF Monday, and doubtless led many
OF his hearers, perhaps even some u the smiling
ones, to believe in the correctness Of his argu-
ment. We think. however, that Paradise
had haf 100 no

ligious belief.

An Unrecorded Fact in the History OF
the Times.

Our esteemed contemporary. the Nelo
YORK Times, recently celebrated its
twenty-nfth anniversary, and received
many well-merited compliments on the
occasion.
There is one fact in the history of the
Times which we have not seen mentioned
In any of the notices of that journal: we
refer to its defeat of JAMES G.. BLAINE. II
Is well understood that Mr.. BLAINE would
have been the Republican candidate for
President but for the determined hostility
of the Times. Even at the very last, at the
time of the Convention at Cincinnati, If
that journal could have been placated. Mr..
BLAINE would have been selected; but its
opposition was unrelenting and it is said
that assurances were given from the high
est quarter that 1t would not be abatcd
even II he were nominated.
This is fact altogether too creditnble to
the Times to be omitted from its history.
