Thurlow Weed At Saratoga.

1t is said that this veteran and venerable
political strategist will be in Saratoga during
the Convention. and it is to be presumed
that with the weight Of years resting upon
him, he does not make such journey fol
nothing. He is not the kind of man to
hover like powerless ghost around the
scenes of his former activity. He has won
too many triumphs at the State conventions
of his party, has made too many governors,
has been too great a Warwick to go to such
a place without purpose. In spite of years
and inirmities his mind is still clear and
vigorous, as he has lately proved in our col
umns by his successful controversy with
Alexander H. Stephens; nor is there any
reason to suppose that he has lost his astute-
ness and dexterity as political manipulation.
Four years ago he executed skilful flank
movement in the Republican Convention at
Utica and secured the nomination OF
General Dix, who was triumphantly
elected Does he intend to try his hand
again at his old game now? If SO he n>s
kept his secret. as he did four years ago, and
nobody knows what candidate he will favor.
We would fain believe that it is Mr.. Evarts,
but we dare not think it probable. Still,
Mr.. Evarts was one of the warmest and most
devoted supporters of Mr.. Weeds lifelong
friend, Mr.. Seward, and there is no good
reason why any surviving friend OF
the great republican statesman should
not support him. Mr.. Weed is no
admirer of Senator Conkling, and it
is quite certain that he will not
aid Mr. Conkling's candidate. His former
relations with Governor Morgan were inti-
mate and friendly and he has more in COM
mon with a man of that type than with
great lawyer like Mr.. Evarts. We congratu-
late Mr.. Weed that he feels strong enough
physically, and takes sufficient interest in
the success of his party, to go to Saratoga
in this crisis Of its fortunes and give thA
Convention the benefit Of his counsel.

Bold Ben Butler.

1t is impossible not to admire or at least
not to be amused by, the vigor with which
this noted political athlete 'comes up
smiling in the arena after being knocked
out OF breath. Hopelessly beaten in his old
Congressional district he offers himself as a
candidate in another and if he can get the
republican nomination he has good chances
OF an election, although Mr.. Tarbox, demo-
crat, was chosen two years ago by more than
one thousand five hundred majority. That
was the year of the so-called tidal wave,
when so many political miracles were
wrought and democratic Governor was
elected in Massachusetts,. Ordinarily there
is a large republican majority in the district
which General Butler now aspires to repre-
sent, Judge Hoar having been elected from
it against rarbox in 1872 by six thousand
majority. As there are no signs of tidal
wave this year there can be little doubt of
Buffers election if he captures the repub-
lican nomination. He counts. with good
reason, on the support of his own city OF
Lowell, where he made dashing speech
last evening to large and applauding
audience The raising of a Hayes and
Wheeler banner supplied him with an oc-
casion, and when vast crowd had been as
sembled by display Of fireworks the null
titude thronged to the City Hall, filled it to
overfowing and listened to q speech in
Buffers most characteristic vein. He capti-
waited the hearts of Irishmen by glowing
congratulations on the escape of the Fenian
prisoners, fourished the bloody shirt to the
satisfaction OF earnest republicans, made
virtual renunciation of his imitation heresy,
planted himself squarely on the Cincinnati
platform, and boasted that when he, was in
Congress he attended to the private busi-
ness OF all the Congressional districts in Mas
sachusetts, and promised to confne his good
Offices at the national capital, if he should
be again elected, to the people of his own
district. If the irrepressible Butler gets
back to Congress he means to make it par
ticularly hot for the democrats and says he
is equally willing to serve his constituents
for five thousand dollars year as their rep
resentative or for many times that sum as
their legal adviser. Patriotic distinterested

New York BURGLAR is always disap-
pointed man when some policeman a little
less obtuse than the rest interferes with his
operations. Many of the most successful burg
laries recently perpetrated in this city were
committed under the very eyes of the police,
and nobody is surprised to hear of such
crime as that attempted in Front street yes
serday morning. The only surprise is that
he men were detected in time to arresl
ihem before they had disposed of the stolen
property. Detective Kierns and Officer
Pilkington are deserving of special mention
or keeping their eyes open while in the dis
sharge of their duty.

Assess ments of OHice.Holders.

1t is evident that the law which ostensibly
was made to protect salaried officers of
the government from the extortions of po-
litical committees at election times was art
fully worded, with the intention to make
it imperative. This appears not merely in
the TACT that it only torbids officers of the gov
ernment from making these collections, but
also in the fact that it excerpts certain officers
from that prohibition. 1t was, in fact,
scarcely within the province of Congress to
forbid any person but an employe of the
government making such collections as
those referred to. In the case of an officer
violating law Of Congress in this particu-
lar the probable loss of his position would
be restraint, and he is in that respect
within the control of the law but it is
doubtful if the other part of the penalty could
ever be imposed, while us against citizens
generally law to punish them for ''receiv-
ing anything of value for political purposes"
would prove to be of the nature of the
famous bull against the comet. But though
it must thus necessarily be free to nom
office-holders to collect money for election
expenses they would find little success in
their quest but for the implied countenance
of office holders in high position. Nobody in
the Custom House would pay if he felt safe
as to the Collector Of the Port. But the coll
lector for the General Committee acts with
the presumed authority of the head man in
any department., and it is the fear of the loss
of place that enforces payment Now col
lectors of the port, postmasters and others
are not included in the prohibitions of the
law. They are appointed by the President,
with the advice and consent OF the Senate,
and only persons not so appointed are for
bidden to make political assessments.

CoMpTRoLLER GREEN was very coy yester-
day with his German fellow citizens who
sailed upon him to tender him a nomination
!or Mayo. The truth is they came at an
!nauspicious moment, and he told them so
in manner which even his enemies must
admit was strikingly urbane and courteous
If he had said to them ''by and by may
not be unwilling to serve, but just now
somebody is to be nominated for Governor,
md it is not impossible that Mr.. Green will
be the man," he would have expressed in
words what he evidently meant to convey by
his coy and guarded sentences.

The SERvAN PEosPEcTs, which were
brighter Tor day, seem to be clouding
again. Even the Car reposed confidence
in the change which had taken place. and
the Russian government became peaceful in
ls disposition as the Servians showed the
ability to defend their territory. Now, how
aver. there has been another retreat tor n
ANAL stand, and an all-day battle has taken
place, the result of which, it is feared, is un-
favorable to Servia. Should these fears be
realized there must be peace or mediation.
Within q few days it is likely the fate of
both Servia and Turkey will be determined,
and il will be known whether there is to be
peace or war in Europe. Nothing except
The good fortune of the Servians can much
longer prolong the struggle under its
present condition, and hence the whole in
terest Of the contest now centres in the
probable action of the great Powers.

II Is MISFORTUNE attending every fnan-
cal crisis that weak banking institutions
must be strengthened 20 prevent the most
disastrous consequences TO people who have
no relations whatever with the banks. 1t was
SO with US in 1873, and it was only by sue
coring bankrupt national and savings banks
that universal panic and ruin were averted.
The present crisis in Portugal is aggravated
by like cause, only the stronger institu-
tions are refusing longer 10 succor the
weaker ones. Except in extreme cases,
where a whole people would be involved. it
is best to let the feeble institutions fail, and
thereby and at a single blow avert what
must otherwise prove lasting evil.
A panic in the United States at any
time within the next five years would
ruin most of the national and saw
ings banks IN the country and the only
way to avoid the worst OF possible conse-
quences is to compel the feeble institutions
to wind up their affairs befo-e crisis comes.

The WEATHER. For the first time since
the commencement of the summer the SEN
sation of positive GOODNESS was enjoyed in
New York yesterday and last night Indeed,
many were disposed to believe that the hot
season had ended, and began to regard the
subject of iall overcoats rs one worthy of
serious consideration. But although we are
approaching the end Of our regular summer
weather We shall yet experience considerable
warmth before the end of the present month
The area of high pressure, the source of
the cool winds, will have passed our merid-
ian before morning, and the temperature
will continue to rise during to-day, with
easterly and southerly winds in the neigh
borhood OF New York. Tomorrow cloud
mess will begin to set in, with southeasterly
winds and probably rain toward night, un-
less the low area now advancing should be de-
layed in its progress eastward. In any event,
the weather change will occur, accompanied
by high temperature. Yesterday morning
the velocity of the wind at Bismarck, Da-
kota, reached forty-two miles per hour
from the westward, showing the low ba-
rometric pressure at the storm centre in the
