The Triumph or an Editor-A Hint
20 the Democrats.

~~~@@s
20 the Democrats.
The election of Henry Watterson to
Congress from Louisville seems to have
been an extraordinary event. Fifteen
thousand votes were cast, and only five
hundred went to his opponent, who was an
independent democrat. 1t was understood
that this result was tribute to leading
journalist, and it shows how much the
people are apt to believe in an editor who
serves them with honesty and independ-
ence. The triumph of Watterson only con-
firms us in our advice to the Democratic
Convention to nominate Manton Marble for
Governor. Mr.. Marble is also great jour
nalist like Mr.. Watterson, and for years has
held aloft with undaunted courage the for
lorn banner of the democracy. Now is the
time to honor that fidelity and nominate a
candidate who will sweep New York as Wat
terson swept Louisville. All the journalists
would support Mr.. Marble for professional
reasons. All the clergymen would support
ponent of sound religious doctrines. John
Kelly would support him because John hates
Dorsheimer. The ladies would support
him because Of his personal charms. Mr..
Marble is q much handsomer man than Mr..
Watterson, and for that matter SO is Mr..
Dorsheimer. The democratic ticket. with
Marble and Dorsheimer at the head, would
be an artistic ticket. In that respect it
would be much more attractive than the re-
publican ticket with Evsrts and White. Let
the democrats ponder over the success of a
great editor in Kentucky, and try their luck
with a great editor in New York.

NARRAGANsETT PIER. Our correspondence
from Narragansett Pier gives a pleasant
picture of that young and hourishing water
Ing place, and of the way in which the
world Of fashion and pleasure is enjoying
itself this summer. The opening of the new
branch railroad from Kingston, on the shore
line, will be great aid to the Pier and is a
decided convenience to the public. The
proposed impeachment of judge of the
Supreme Court of Rhode Island is, how
ever, one Of the results Of this enterprise

MExrcos PRESENT TROUBLE is an extraor-

Porfirio Diaz having fizzled out ingloriously.
The worst feature of these rebellions is the
manner in which the government allows the
leading rebels to escape oil consequences of
their crimes against order and being con-
tented with simply leaving the rebel forces
to disband when they sec success hopelessly
removed. There is nothing thorough
about the government.

not enGghten the country very much we

he complained that all the Associated Press

NEWS FROM CROOKS COMMAND up to August
4 informs us that the Fifth cavalry had
Joined General Crook and that the entire
expedition was about to start in light march
ing order and with supplies for fifteen days
down the Tongue River. The hostile Ind
ians are said to be moving leisurely east
ward down the Little Big Horn. Crooks
move is evidently prudent one, as it is in
q parallel line with the Indian advance,
and will prevent their coming to the agen-
cies, while Terry, who starts up the Rose
bud tomorrow, will help to corral them
effectively if they cross the divide to attack
Crook. Above all it gives the two columns
. chance of joining forces without great risk
of being beaten in detail. If Crooks move
can keep the attention of the savages long
enough an opportunity may be given to
strike that decisive blow" which We are
promised.

RAILnoAD ACCIDENTS are very frequent in
England at this season of the year, owing to
the number OF extra or excursion trains
slaughter has become so periodical as to
be annually commented on in the English
papers, the great panacea Of Parliamen-
tary inquiry failing to stop it. The empty
excursion train which figured in the acct
dent on Monday night at Radstock, in the
southwest of England, was the cause Of the
mischief 1t was not on the time table. and

knew nothing about it until too late.

CoNKLINo ON THE WARPArH.-The rumor
that Senator Conkling is going to Saratoga
on the warpath is confirmed. He will make
things interesting, but We question the wis
dom OF such course. His policy is peace,
patience and waiting for 1880. He can gain
nothing by fight now, and in q year or two
the alliance that opposes him will have dis
solved. We can understand his desire to aid
as true friend and as good man as Mr.
Cornell But Mr.. Cornells nomination now
would injure his own prospects, which, for
young man, are very bright.

meaning. He sees clearly that the whites
mean to rule the Southern States and that
peace will only come when they have as
serted that right Unless we take the plan
of Boutwell, and remand those States tc their
Territorial position (Which is not to be toll
erated) there will be no peace in the South
until the plan of Mr.. Hendricks is adopted
We may as well accept this fact We cannot
prevent it.

A WISE JUDGE-Judge Goepp, Of tho
Marine Court, is an honor to the Bench. A
case came before him the other day in which
it was necessary to have the appearance OF
Hannah Osterhoudt. Now, an ordinary
judge would have directed an advertisement
to be published in some of the miserable
journals which live on drippings, but which
no one sees, or in some of our legal papers
which have no circulation. This, in fact, is
what judges are doing all the time, and cor
ruptly. we think, as they defeat the ends Of
justice. But Judge Goepp said:-'Let the
plaintiff advertise once week, for three sue
cessive weeks. in the personal column of the
New YORK HERALD, that Hannah Osterhoudt
is required to report to the Marine Court in
New York city" The Judge, like an honest
magistrate, wants to find Hannah in order
that she may have justice, and, instead OF
throwing bone to some starving Bohemian,
he seeks the personal column Of the HERALD,
which all the world reads. Judge Goepp,
we observe, has come out for Tilden. Uncle
Sammy will, we trust, if he has the chance,
put him on the Supreme Bench. He is
wise and thoughtful judge, and knows how
to administer justice.

THE HAMBURG MASSACRE AND THE MoLIIE
MAcUIRKs. democratic newspapers ask
why does not the republican party arraign
the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania as in o
state of anarchy because of the Mollie Ma
guire murders in the coal regions, just rs
its leaders arraign South Carolina for the
Hamburg massacres. This is not fair COM
parison. What we see in South Carolina we
have seen throughout the South If the
Mollie Maguires were to gain possession of q
State as the White Leagues did of Louisiana,
if it was shown that they controlled the
militia and threatened to overthrow Com
monwealths, the case would be parallel.
The Mollie Masuires have been arrested,
tried, and some will be hanged. When we
hear of Southern white man being hanged
for killing negro, under circumstances like
those Of Hamburg, we shall admit the
parallel.

Turkish Atrocities.

The article from the London Times ofyester-
day, which has been cabled here, sets the
popular opinion of England on the
wholesale massacres in Bulgaria in
clear light. For State purposes the
Disraeli Ministry have, during the past
two months, adopted the apologize tone to
which the Times refers, and while saving
jauntily that things were not SO bad as the
Daily Ne,os reported. took care through the
party press and such papers as the Pail MaA
Gazette to prepare the public for laying the
blame of the slaughter on the unfortunate
victims themselves. All this has been
neatly exposed in the Times article. II
should be observed, however, that the con.
Germ of the English people in the matter
arises from the fact that very slight turn
of circumstances may make them the allies
of the inhuman monsters who burn villages
and murder peaceable villagers in cold
blood who follow up every warlike success
with incendiarism and atrocities Of the most
horrible and filthy character. The attempts
of the Ministry to clog official inquiry and
pooh-pooh the murders and ravishings have,
therefore, special meaning If Russia
were to step into Servia tomorrow all this
English squeamishness would disappear in
an attack Of Russcphsbia, and Disraeli IL

NEW YORK, WEDNESDAY, AUGUST 9. 1876.
The New York herald. [volume] (New York [N.Y.]) 1840-1920, 1876-08-09

The country is becoming more and more
dissatisfied with the Governor of South
Carolina for his failure to arrest and
bring to punishment the authors of the
Hamburg massacre. It cannot be said
that his power has been resisted, be-
cause he has not made any effort. If he
tried and failed, if it was seen that General
Butler and his friends resisted the powers
of the law, then there might be some reason
But SO far from resisting the State authori-
ties, Butler and his friends have offered
themselves for trial The timidity or the
incapacity Of these Southern Governors does
the republican cause harm. At the first
signal of alarm they run to the President
When McEnery arose against Kellogg in
Louisiana that abject coward ran to the Gus
tom House, and remained there until the
federal troops restored him. When the
Hamburg massacres took place Chamberlain
ran to the President instead of taking q
posse, going down to Hamburg and arresting
ere. Such an act would have strengthened
him and his cause. His hesitancy and
timidity have led to the impression that the
massacre was political and that its best use
was rs campaign document
DOES HENDRICKS MEAN TO WIN Some
shrewd politicians are asking if Mr.. Hen
bricks really cares to win. They point out
that his course on the financial questions is
only consistent with the theory that the
defeat of the democratic ticket now is his
gain four years from now. They answer the
imputation of disloyalty to Tilden by show
ing that when Allen was running for Gov
ernor Of Ohio Tilden's friends opposed him
on the ground that Aliens defeat as an infla-
ZIONIST would help hard money candidate
at st. Louis. Why, they argue, should not
Hendricks pay Tilden back in his own coin
The question is worthy Of consideration by
our democratic statesmen in the East.

HUBBARD seems to have been equal
to the occasion, according to a cores
pondent in the Tyler Democrat, when
he reused the Galveston Convention
into wild enthusiasm by his speech.
Thus says the correspondent: ...s
No man could have looked on Col.
Hubbard yesterday, as he stood before
the assembled delegates Of the people
0fTexas, and spoke OF her and her past
glory and her grand future, and felt
otherwise than proud that we had such
man to stand by Governor Coke in
the terrible storm through which he
conducted us in 1873, and who will
again carry the old Democratic ship
into quiet and peaceful waters, should
storms and tempests arise and threaten
her life and safety. Governor Hub
bard's speech was necessarily brief,
but it was unquestionably one of the
finest pieces Of oratOry that I ever
listened to, and to have been appreci.
ated in all its beauty, 1t should have
been heard. AS the Roman mother,
when called on to display her Jewels,
proudly pointed to her noble son, so
Texas may justly point to Governor
Coke and Governor Hubbard, as two
Of her brightest and nOblest.

GENERAL, TuoNfAs RosspR

GENERAL THOMAS RossER, now So
journing for few days in Dallas, was
one of the most daring cavalry officers
under Robert Il. Lee. He was edu-
Gated at West Point, and quilted that
military school to take command of
the celebrated battery of Washington
Artillery. His GOODNESS, judgment and
gallantry in battle was appreciated by
General Lee, and his promotion was
rapid. He participated In many of the
most desperate and brilliant cavalry
charges ofthe war, bearing himselfamid
the smoke and storm of battle as be-
came a Virginian. General Rosser is a
man of commanding appearance, be-
ing over six feet in heighth, and is in
the prime of vigorous manhood. He
Is the brother of Captain Robert s.
