Saratoga is thick with politicians Delegates
are on the ground betimes, and the excitement
is already intense. Mr.. Cornell's followers are
boastlng that he will have from 14O to 100
votes on the first ballot. The trick will de-
ceive no one. Mr.. Conkling's stock was bulled
with even more noise week before the Cln-
cinnati Convention met. Although the ma
chine men have been slaughtered in all parts
of the State and are clearly in minority,
they are well trained, and may succeed IN
naming a compromise candidate. Their hos
tihty is mainly directed against ex-GOy Nor
gan, and they will take Mr.. Evarts as choice
of evils, if there be no hope of nominating
President White or exGOv. WOodfOrd. The
opponents of the machine command the stu
alton They have only to unite But suppos-
ing Mr.. Cornell's friends should happen to be
right. Suppose they should carry the cOnven-
ton. We tell them again, without the least
disposition to threaten, and only with sin
cere desire that this convention may help ard
not hinder the cause of Hayes and Wheeler,
that with Mr.. Cornell at the head of the ticket,
or even with his representative, MIR. Andrew
D. White, they cannot carry the State Either
a third ticket will be placed in the field, or
the men whose votes can alone secure the
State to Gov. Hayes VIII 50 oYuarely for any
decent candidate for Governor whom
the other side may nominate. They
did it two years ago, were perfectly
satisfied with the result, and are per-
fectly able to do it again. The State can pos
sibly be carried by Gov. Morgan. 1t could
certainly be carried by Mr.. Evarts 1t cannot
be carried by Mr.. Cornell. These are the hard
facts of the situation; and politicians who re-
fuse to consider the facts, when making a
nomination, had better 60 into some other
business for which they are better fitted.
The Saratoga correspondents begin to talk
about the fights being between Morgan and
Evarts. They misunderstood the situation
Mr.. Evarts is not engaged in any fight. He
is not competitor for the nomination. We
have said that no man has right to
doubt that if properly called upon by
his party, at such a time as this,
Mr.. Evarts would obey his plain public duty.
1t seems needfu to add that he certainly could
not be expected to go into a scramble for a
place which it is notorious that he doesn't
want, and could not take without sacrifice.

The New-York Central Railroad has done
we'll to place special guard along its line
with orders to arrest all tramps found near
the tracks. The recent attempts to wreck
express trains have rendered such precautions
imperative. The tramps must be driven into
highways where their deviltry will not en-
danger thousands of lives.

The daring Yankee who sailed recently from
Boston to Detroit in O tiny skiff has found
worthy rival in the captain of the dory Gen.
tennial, who arrived yesterday in Liverpool
after tardy voyage from Gloucester, Mass.
Such feats stimulate mania for eccentricity
rather than the old-time passion for maritime
adventure.

The dscord in the coal combination may
eliminate In the withdrawal of the stronger
corporations to-day. Charges and counter
charges of violation of the compact limiting
production have been made, and the gulf is
now so wide that it will be difficult to bridge
1t over permanently. Such combination dies
hard; but when it does die-and fall to pieces
it must, sooner OF later-the public will haze
the jOlliest kind Of wake.

Controller Green's reply to the delegation of
taxpayers who urged him to accept nOmi-
nation for Mayor is rather ambiguous. He
does not intend to take an active part in the
canvass, but thinks it is mot yet time to
make decision" Taxpayers only waste
their breath in paying compliments like these,
however well they may be deserved. Mr..
Green is fond of talking about municipal
finance, but he is too discreet to commit him
self unnecessarily. He knows that political
convention is the only agency through which
a nomination can be effectively made.
A dead calm has fallen upon Pennsylvania
politics Party leaders seem to think that 1t
is idle in midsummer to labor at the oar ana
whistle for the wind, and are waiting Tor the
October breezes from Ohio and Indiana to fill
tiIer canvas. The pressure of the hard tunes
bears heavily upon the politicians, and they
are anxious to reduce the expenses OF the
campaign to minimum and to force the
lighting during the last month. A Republican
triumph is regarded as certain. The imitation
ists have not yet learned to hurrah for Tilden
with much zest the Philadelphia Democrats
are as stupid and treacherous as ever ; and the
able leaders of the party are either under

a few stragglers with him into Tilden's camp
Although the chances are all in their favor,
the Republicans cannot afford to nominate

The financial crisis in Lisbon arose from the
principal banks having refused further aid to
insolvent concerns whose bills had fallen due.
As usual in psnics, the public did not dis
'cIiminate, and the strong banks were called
apon to redeem their notes in gold. This they
were unable to do promptly, and accordingly
had TO close their doors. The circumstance
confirms the expediency of having large sup
ply of coin On hand at all times.

A RAILROAD ROW AT MONTPE-
TIER.

The Montpelier and Wells River
Railroad stockholders meeting held at
Montpelier, Tuesday. ended in a big
row. Last summer. d. r. SOrtwell Of
Cambridge, Mass, ousted James g.
French, from the management Of the
road. In December, Montpelier holding
$500 Of shares voted to sell. James W.
Brock bought 1000 Of the Montpelier
shares at s266O. A year ago. l. 7.
Kinney obtained a judgment against the
road for $4,000. Three weeks ago he
took an aliens execution. and attached
the stock Of the road. The notices Of
the sale were not seen BY the French
and Brock party, and last week Sortwell,
c. J. Gleason and Nelson Bartlett bought
the stock Of the road at 20 cents per
share. Brock obtained an injehetiOn to
prevent the SOrtwell party from voting
the shares bought at the sberlf7s sale
At Tuesdays meeting Mr.. Hall was in
the chair. Ex-Congressman Willard
moved an adjournment until the legal
questions could be determined. C. H.
Heath for the Brock party, urged an
immediate vote. There were several
hundred present Gen. Pitkin moved
that President Heath preside
Heath took the platform and tried to
take possession Of the books from Joel
roster, Jr., clerk OF the road. Foster
resisted and general melee followed,
in which the scenery Of the Grand Army
in the village hall was torn down. and
the piano Of the Choral Union battered.
Constable Tuttle finally obtained the
books, and with assistance deposited
them in the First National Bank, the
row continuing. Gen. Stephen Thomas
came IN, and made a few remarks on
the disgraceful performance and Quoted
the tumult. Then Hall declared the
meeting adjourned for two weeks, but
Heath went on with his meeting, and
the following board Of directors was
elected: G. H. Heath, J. W. Brock, J.
G. French. George Wooster, J. W. FL

mean time Heath was arrested for an
assault on Foster and bailed in the sum
Of $4,000 by ]. r LangdOn. George
Shepard and Gen. Pitkin. The amount
Of the whole is contest between Sort
well, a heavy bond holder, and new
combination among the old stockholders,
who have hitherto been at variance for
the possession Of the road.

1t cannot be denied that the present
indications Of the year 1876 being a
peaceful one are not very strong. PrOph-
cts Of evil always abound. but no one
can consider the present condition OF az
fairs in Europe without seeing reason
TO believe that serious troubles are i'm
pending. The great nations are all pre-
pairing for war, not for peace. England
has at length taken a stand which will
render 1t almost impossible for her to
preserve neutrality in the event Of q
collision between the Continental pow
ers- Her new interest in Egypt, what
ever may be said in Its favor, undoubt-
edly exposes her to some new dangers
Honor will Oblige her to defend the in.
terest which she has acquired in the
Suez Canal. Sometimes the general an
tieipatiOn of war has the effect Of pre-
venting it. and we hope it will so turr
out in the present instance. But it il
not the less certain that the political at
mOsphere Of Europe Is at this momen
heavy with black clouds.

Two SAMPLES OF CONCENTRATED
LABOR.-A correspondent of the Con-
gregationalist tells one Of those astonish-
ing stories of great returns from a small
area, as follows: The farm contains
about One-third of an acre. The house
and barn. the walks, grass-plats, borders
and beds for shrubbery and flowers take
about One-half of the lot On the re-
naming 1000 feet there are three cher
~ trees, four apple trees, seven peach
trees, 40 pear trees of some 80 different
kinds, some Of the trees having two or
more kinds. 10 grape-vines Of IS differ
ent varieties many of these vines are on
trellises around the house and barn,
100 hills Of currants between the trees
and between the rows Of trees, yielding
last year three bushels of currants, so
hills Of raspberries between the rUws Of
trees, and few dozen hills Of tomatoes.
Almost all these trees, vines and bushes
are in bearing condition, and yield
abundant From this little spot there
has been gathered, this season, at least
60 bushels Of fruit. The cost for enrich
ing this small spot of land has been but
little, except for few loads of loan
