Negro slavery controlled national poll
tics from 1874, when CLAY ran against
POLK, down to 1872, when GRANT beat
GREELEY. Twenty years ago. in the
height OF the slavery controversy,
member OF Congress who was cautioned
against supporting measure OF doubtful
propriety, gave a fair expression TO the
sentiment OF the times when he replied
that his constituents didn't care what bills
he voted for so long as he maintained
their opinions on the negro question.
This low tone of public sentiment has
passed away with the causes that produced
II; and never since the campaign of 1874
has there been time when the per-
sonal character OF a candidate for the
Presidency will be 40 closely scrutinized
ne now, and will count for so much il 1t be
pure and invulnernble or will stand so
much in the way OF success II 1t be clouded
with suspicion. The n1tioual mind is sem
bitve on this subject, and neither party
can afford to trifle with 1t by nominating n
bad candidate, or even one whose reputa-
tion can be called in question.
In view OF the demoralized condition OF
both parties, II would be placing the num-
Der Of Independent voters, who will make
the character OF the Presidential candi-
date test in the contest this year. at a low
figure to call IL POO. 900; and this number of
voters will in all probability be sufficient
to turn the scale. 1t would not be fair
60 take the figures of 1872, for GREE
LEY fell far short of rallying the full
strength of the Opposition. The election
of 1868 affords better test for determining
what 100000 independent voters eau do.
SEYMOUR was regarded as having been
badly beaten by GRANT. But GRANTS ma
5ority was only 3O5,OO0 on the whole vote
cast and change OF 10, 5000, II properly
distributed, would have altered the result.
The Democrats are usually supposed TO
have swept the country In 1874. But their
aggregate majority was so small that the
going over OF 100000 voters TO the Repub-
Leans would have given the majority TO
the latter. The total majority of the
Democrats in the last elections held in all
the States is only 226,OO0; thus proving
that a change of 114,OOO votes would have
placed the majority on the other side.
This is likely 10 be an unproductive year
for Presidential asprants OF doubtful rep
utation. An honest man, fresh from the
people, whose character can bear exami-
nation, will be sure TO defeat any old hack
who is weather stained with corruption,
OF s even the favorite of venal politicians.
Each party should let this class OF candi-
dates understand that the time has come
Tor them to retire.

the accession Of ALEXANDER I'LL, have no
other foundation than that the Car in
tends 10 withdraw for time from active
participation in state affairs.
The reasons for his taking this step
are exclusively those Of health, not
Of age, for he is still n comparatively
young man, having barely reached his
lfty- eighth year. Ills malady Is of long
standing and is one inherited from his
uncle. Symptoms OF softening of the
brain were noticed in the Car some six or
seven years ago. Medical science has de-
monstratcd that this form OF disease is not
always transmitted in q direct line of de-
scent; but IL the germs of the malady
were in the Gar, his habits OF life must
have accelerated their development. He
always was aud is still a great smoker,
and up to some years ago INDUCED also in
drinking. II IL had not been for his taste
for hunting, shooting, and horseback rid
ing, which went far to counterbalance the
effects of wine and tobacco, he might have
broken down much sooner.
Notwithstanding these shortcomings OF
his, however, he has certainly been the most
humane and kind-hearted autocrat who
has ruled In Russia, and during the twenty
years of his reign the vast empire has
made greater progress than IL would have
done in a hundred years of a rule like that
OF his father. or the Czarewitch-the
future ALEXANDER I1I.-little is known
beyond his intense dislike Of everything
German, a dislike in which he is strongly
supported by his wife, the Princess DAG
MAR OF Denmark, sister 10 the Princess OF
WALES. 1t woulu therefore not be sur
prisinG II the abdication or the death of
ALEXANDER H., besides proving n serious
loss to Russia, should lead to the great an
noyance IL not Actual danger OF Germany.

from the Brooklyn linton, under the heading Of

on one of our most distinguished citizens,

ignored the Christian code, and drawn veil
over its tabernacle Of conscience.
Now, that George Washington Childs, A. NJ,
does write the sweet little obituary poems for
the Ledger. everybody who knows him tes-
tify, II they will, and for such a slur as the
linton has offered In saying he did not write
them, there can he no excuse whatever. II the
editor OF the BROOKLYN linton could see our
poet, he would no longer wonder at his sublime
obituary strains. Merely to see the poet peram-
bulating our most deserted streets, where pre-
walls tho atmosphere of gloom, with bis head
bowed, and laboring under deep meditation,
while counting his finger ENDS In true poetical
measurement style, would prove sufficient evil

mt subject. and settle at once aud forever the
authorship OF the poems In question. But such
wrangles will take place over the works OF at

The Cars Abdicatlon.

The rumors concerning the forthcoming
Indication of the Emperor of Russia,
though not fully confirmed as yet, excite
great interest in Europe. The London
Times and the Pan MAI Gazette comment
almost daily on the predicted event,
and prognosticate a change in the exist
ing relations between the Cabinets Of ST.
Petersburg and Berlin, consequent upon
the strong antl-Gcrman tendencies of the
her apparent, or the Czarewitch, ms he is
generally called. A Vienna telegram to
the London DdtiU Ncws, on the other
hand, ropudiates the rumor of the abdica-
ton, and denies its authenticity.
1t seems that the Cars health has lately
been declining, and that his medical adj
visers have prescribed for him a season Of
summer treatment at Ems and residence
Of a couple of months in Switzerland In
the autumn. This will not be the FIRST
time that ALEXANDER ii. has had to alb
sent himself from Russia, though he has
seldom been away more than six or eight
weeks at time Whenever ne has gone
abroad the C2arewitch, since he became OF
age, has invariably been placed at the head
OF council intrusted with the rule OF the
empire, He has thus often actually exer-
cised the powers of Regent; but he
never bore that title. The power OF the
Car is so autocratic that even when he
habroad for his health or pleasure, all mat
tiers OF any Importance, even down to the
appointment or promotion of military or
civil service officers, are invariably sub
United to him, either by telegraph or by
SPECIAL courier constantly rushing TO and
fro between ST. Petersburg aud the place
where the Emperor may be sojournii.g.
Such being the usual arrangement made
by the Russian Emperor it is not at nil
surprising thatwe hear that now the Care
witch IS to be left in charge OF the empire
with the title of Regent; and the circum-
stance affords no certain ground for the
rumors that ALEXANDER intends TO abdi-
cate the imperial throne. The theory Of
divine right has nowhere such Il strong
hold on the minds OF the people
as In Russia. The Cars themselves
really believe that they are rulers "by the
grace Of GoDi' and they consider that they
have no right TO relinquish the power
which the Almighty placed in their hands.
Abdications are, consequently, almost I'M
known In Russian history. When ALEX
AMBER |. became quite i'll and unable to
bear the burden OF State affairs, no signed
vi act or abdicatiOn in favor of his brother
utneVer had the courage TO promulGste it,

The Boston Scandal.

Mr.. BEARD undertakes an explana-
umns, but we do not see that he sue
Deeds in diminishing it's magnitude.
Congress passed n law some years ago re-
quiring all sailing vessels to carry fog
horns. Some smart Yankee saw an opening
He plunged In. He made new-fashioned
horn. He got certain officials 80 approve
II. He got Secretary BOUTWELL, to issue n
Treasury circular and prescribe Its use.
The horn might cost dollar to manufac-
ture. II was sold for six dollars. The
speculation was q good one, and the fish
ermen and coasters were everywhere
forced TO buy. 1t was soon discovered
that the exacton was an oppression
for the benefit of Spectators. A new
circular was issued when Mr.. BRIsTow
came in, and the exaction clause was
left out. Mr.. BRIsrow's circular left the
whole question ms to what kind of a fog
horn should be bought TO the discretion OF
the master OF the vessel, cutting up the
speculator's monopoly by the roots. The
following Is the language Of that circu-
lar
tn. selection o. an n;,rumen, 70 be employed in
ostJt 70 me master or ooner " the resell"
Notwithstanding this specific instruction
of the Secretary, the fog horn operators
continued 10 drive ignorant aud af-
frighted mariners into buying their
patent horn, under threats OF nne aud
seizure. and rs In the case of the Native
American, they carried it to actual seiz-
ure, though no shadow OF a right existed
to justify them. 1t is hard TO conceive of
the audacity which would claim right Of
seizure under direotiousso explicit Us those
we have quoted.
This seizure we have denounced rs an
outrage. 1t was done at tho instigation
and complaint of the fog-horn wonders by
the District Attorney, who went outside
the line Of his legitimate duties to order
IT, In the irst place, the captain had con-
formed TO the terms of the Treasury
circular; and, In the second, II he violated
tho circular, its enforcement belonged to
the Collector of tho Port. But the fog
horn men had first applied TO Collector
SIMMONS TO make the seizure and he had
refused. He sent them about their business,
using this significant and explicit Ian
guage: "Gentlemen you cannot make use
of this office for any squeezing purposes
The fog-horn men had therefore no other
resource left but TO apply to the District
Attorney, to see II he could be used 70 7
squeezing" purposes. Ii was in this way
that SANGER was brought into the bus inc IS.
The fact was that the captain had q per-
feet right TO select his own fog horn,
and accordingly the Collector declined to
act; while, knowing the animus of the
prosecution, he made use OF the language
we have quoted. The real controversy
In this case Is thus between BEARD
and SANGER on one side, aud Collec-
tor SIMMONS on the other. We have
merely emphasized and ampliaed the Ian
guage used by the Collector himself in the
case. 1t Is q squeezing" process accord
ing TO his perception of II, and he being
on the spot aud qualified to judge. and it
being his duty TO decide, we give his
decision as final in the case.
The scandal stands.

II anybody before doubted that GRANT
used every effort to shield BABCoCK from the
consequences OF his crimes, the testimony Of
BELL, the detective especially employed by
GRANT to circumvent the prosecution, must
make the fact clear aud indlsputable. lie set
this mau to the task OF destroying the evidence
against bis private secretary, and when he failed
TO do that he had him promptly discharged
from the employ Of the Interior Department,
which paid him foe his detective services In be-
half OF the White House confederate OF the

ginning to end but In its fraud, misuse Of the

put only affords new instance OF Grantism, OF
