welcome to Mr.. Tupper.

The distinguished poet, Martin Farquhaa
Tupper, who arrived in this city yesterday,
will be welcomed by thousands who have
read some of his works. No man but him-
self has probably read all of his works, for
they are countless. They represent over
forty years of incessant production, and in
clude novels, poems of all kinds, from
continuation Of Coleridges beautiful Chris
label" to the "Ode to America" more than
three hundred sonnets, and the celebrated
''Proverbial Philosophy" Of which forty
editions have been sold in England and .
million of copies in America This literary
fecundity is wonderful; Mr. Tupper has
written more verses than Tennyson, Words
worth, Keats and Coleridge combined. That
he has not written as well as they did is
possible; but it is at least something to
have written more. Quantity has its merit
as we'll as quality, and Mr.. Upper has it in
a remarkable degree. 1t is natural that the
book by which he is known best should be
the most criticised 1t is said that the
s.Proverbial Philosophy" is commonplace,
and it has been the subject of numerous
parodies. When Mr.. upper wrote that
line, to the unaffected tenderness of which
thousands of mothers will bear testimony.
"a child in house is we'll full of pleas
ure," an attempt was made to burlesque it
thus:-sA child in a well is house full Of
pleasure" Mr.. Tupper has, however. re-
mained unshaken by these assaults, and
his latest work is s'Washington," q play un-
acted as yet, which he intends to read in
public during the winter. We have given
extracts from this drama, and Mr. Tupper has
ably replied in our columns to the charge OF
q correspondent that the entire play was
plagiarized from an American play of the
same title. But, Independently of his literary
claims, Martin Farquhar Tupper is entitled
to warm reception, for he has always been
the true friend of America, and espoused
with pen and word the cause of the Union
during the war. He will find the United
States very much changed from what they
were when he visited them in 1851, but
twenty-five years have only made him bet
ter known to the American public.

Meaning or Interference in {
South.

In Louisiana there is q considerable body
of republicans, black as well as white, who
mean to vote for Hayes and Nichols-Mr
Nichols being the democratic candidate for
Governor. In South Carolina there is
large and increasing number of republicans
who mean to vote for Hayes and Hampton.
In the same way, last fall, there were numer-
Gus republicans in Mississippi who voted
against Ames, but for republican Congress-
men. That is to say, constantly increas-
ing number of republican voters in these as
we'll as in other Southern States, being tired
Of the corruption and maladministration
practised by their local party leaders, refuse
to support the local ticket. though they
mean to vote the national ticket of their
party.
1t is this split which threatens Packard in
Louisiana and Chamberlain in South Caro-
lima with the overthrow which befell Ames
in Mississippi last fall, and as Ames called
for federal troops to help him in his ex-
tremity, SO Chamberlain now prepares to
follow his example. The object of thus
commanding federal soldiers into one of
these Southern States is threefold. They
are used, as by Packard to intimidate
democrats; their presence at the same time
helps to arouse and organize the most igno-
rant part of the negro vote; but, finally,
their most important use in such q state OF
things as we have described is to discourage
and cripple the efforts of the opposition re-
publicans. The mass of colored voters in
State like South Carolina have disposition
to follow the possessor of power. They be-
lieve in the superior power and strength of
the federal government; if they see that at
Mr.. Chamberlain's request General Grant
sends troops to act under Chamberlains
orders argument and appeal are alike use
less to persuade them to vote against Cham
berlain.
Observe, therefore the troops are used to
re-elect Chamberlain that is the object.
They were used to elect Kellogg in Louisi-
ana. Packard hopes to use them to elect
himself; Ames asked for them to re-elect
himself, and, not getting them, was beaten,
and promptly resigned and removed from
the State. Can the republican party hope
to succeed if it thus misuses its possession
Of the federal power to keep in their places
corrupt or inefficient State officers to
coerce not democrats alone, but independ-
emit republicans, and drive them back into
the support of corrupt men, or cripple their
efforts to relieve themselves and their State
of such control?

Another Statesman to tn. Front.

We print elsewhere an interview in which
one of the citys boasted statesmen takes
position which entities him, and is perhaps
intended to secure him, the conspicuous
and important position of Secretary of the
Treasury under the next administration, in
case Mr.. Peter Cooper should be chosen
President. 1t is one of the advantages Of
free country like ours that it can always fur
nish statesmen adequate for any occasion.
When the emergency arises the man appears.
If Mr.. Cooper should be elected he would
no sooner enter the White House than, be-
hold Mr.. Richard Schell, or ''Uncle Dick"
as the boys love to call him. Amiability is
Uncle Dicks strong point Happy himself,
he fondly sighs to see all his countrymen
equally blest. His plan of campaign when
he shall rule in the Treasury has for its
chief motive the desire to make every man
jack OF US at least twenty-five cents better off
than we are now. Hence he proposes new
issue of currency-an issue SO vast that it is
scarcely possible but almost every infant in
the country will get at least ten cent shin
plaster for its share.
We advise Blue Jeans Williams to got
somebody to read him Uncle Dicks PROPOSE
ton. We commend it to the lamented Hol-
man, whom an ungrateful constituency have
just relegated to the obscurity of private
life as it were. We are sure it would receive
the praises of that considerable body of in
fation martyrs whose brainless bodies strew
the bleak shores of Indiana just now. Not
only would our venerable "Uncle Dick
print thousand millions of irredeemable
shinplasters, but he would give half Of them
away. When the lamented Tweed, whom
we are soon to welcome among us again,
once called an ungrateful dependant an
Adder, he was met with the mean retort.
"And you are Subtracter' Our Uncle
Dick is neither; considering the magnitude
Of his generosity we should call him nothing
less than "a Pair of Dividers."

JEROME PARK continues to furnish excel
lent sport for the lovers of the turf, the races
Yesterday being the most successful of the
meeting. The race for the Centennial Cup
was the event of the day, this valuable piece
of plato being won by Tom Ochiltree. 1t is
such events as this which give national
character to the meetings Of the American
Jockey Club, and we trust the prizes here
after will show something of the munifi-
cence which was displayed in this casa.

BOILER EXPLOSIONS are still of frequent
occurrence an accident of this kind at Pitts

It is probable that all care in the examina-

require some terrible disaster, like that on
The westfeld, to compel the inspectors to

SITTING BULL IN ABYssISIA.-
TO our news this morning the King of Abys-
sinia has succeeded in crushing three sepa-
rate Egyptian columns. Sitting Bulls ex-
plot on the Little Big Horn was not more
complete, and on much smaller scale than
these massacres in Abyssinia. The savages on
both sides of the globe seem to pursue
the same policy--that of striking the en-
emy when he is unprepared, and then dis
anpearino from his front.

PETER COOPER, it appears, has an abiding
raith in the petty financial heresy of which
he is the political exponent. 1t is Mr..
Cooper's mission to exait the glories of the
oreenback, but he is willing to retire in Mr..
Tilden's favor if Mr.. Tilden will only ac-
oept the greenback platform. This is very
eate proposition, but apart from its imp-ac-
t;cability such a course would rob the can
vsss of its only humorous characteristic, and

have an aggregate of 157 electoral votes, or
only 2S less than majority. II Hayes can
gain 2S votes in addition to those of which
he is already certain, it is as good as certain
he will be elected. The requisite %, if he
should get them, must come from some one
or more of the following States =
New York. ............ 35 New Jersey ......... Q
Indiana. .............. Is Connecticut .......... 6
California. .......-.... Oregon ...............
OF the States in this doubtful, or at least
debatable list, the republicans might carry
four-namely, New Jersey, Connecticut,
California and Oregon-and still fall short
of majority by four electoral votes. Unless
they carry either Indiana or New York they
have no chance of success if all the Southern
States vote for Tilden. 1t is possible, but not
probable, that they can recover Indiana after
losing it in the State election with nothing
in the other October States to discourage
the democratic party. 1t would be waste
of effort and ammunition for the republicans
There is a bare possibility that they might
carry it, but the loss of New Jersey and Con-
necticut, which together have the same
number of electoral votes, would deprive
their victory of any practical value. But if
of these six States they can carry New York
they will have more votes than they need in
addition to those of which they are already
certain. But the success Of the democrats
in Now York would not in like manner
carry them through. They will need twelve
additional votes If they save Indiana they
will get these twelve votes with three to
spare But if they should lose Indiana
neither New Jersey alone nor Connecticut
alone would help them out. They must
carry them both, or carry New Jer-
sew with one of the Pacific States,
or Connecticut with both of the Pacific
States. In this extremely doubtful state
of the canvass everything is staked on
New York, which will be the Thermopyle
of this Presidential canvass. A republican
success Is certain if they carry New York,
and there are strong probabilities that if the
democrats carry it they will get the twelve
additional votes they will need to give Til
den majority. The republicans have every
motive for concentrating all their efforts in
the Empire State, but the democrats cannot
win without carrying some of the other
doubtful States in addition to New York.
The fact that the Presidential contest is
narrowed down to the ability of either party
to carry New York will be admitted by every
experienced politician who peruses the fore
going statement No intelligent man can

The advance of the troops is nee

The officers in command of the
