to ''put down the carpet-baggers, the scala
wags and the State governments In doing
so they have thrown the republicans upon the
offensive, and the answer has been measure
after measure of repression. These measures
are now the immutable law of the land and
Mr.. Tilden cannot change them. If the
Southern men had taken the republicans at
their word at the close of the war; if they
had accepted offers of Cancellation; if they
had not adopted a policy of ostracism and
terrorism, these laws would not now exist
So far as the South is concerned Tilden and
Hayes stand upon similar ground; and if
the Southern leaders were wise they would
SO act in the present canvass that the tri-
umph Of republican or democrat would be
their triumph. There is no disposition on
the part Of republicans to deal with the old
South in any but the kindest and most fra
ternal spirit. There is no power on the part
of the democrats to do any more for the
South than the republicans would do. Til
den will take the same ground in his letter
as Hayes in order to give himself the chance
of an election. Any other ground would
lose him every Northern State.
1t is fallacy to suppose that this canvass
is struggle for anything but power. ''Re-
FORM" revolution" 'repudiation these
cries are mere words We may win civil
service and the one term; but this will come
whoever goes in. Hayes has taken grounds
in their favor and Tilden will be forced to
take grounds. There are no principles at
stake-none Of those issues that sink deep
into the hearts of men. 1t will be noisy,
insincere, claptrap, defamatory canvass,
which we regret 1t will, probably, be the
last time-more especially if the Southern
people are wise-that the republicans and
democrats will hold their present
lines. New parties must form; new
questions must enter our politics
affecting the prosperity and the advance
ment of the country. TO sum up the stu
alton in one sentence, this is a canvass for
roast beef On one side are the gorged re-
publicans, on the other the starving demo-
Gratis. SO far as the outside world is con-
cerned it will make little difference whether
the slices are cut for the next four years by
Tilden or Hayes.

The Mohawk Disaster.

When death by sudden and awful stroke
removes man as widely known and beloved
as ex-vice Commodore Garner, of the New
York Yacht Club, his dirge is intoned by
thousand lips trembling with pity for
his moumful fate. At one moment,
in the ruddy prime of life, full
of hope and heart, seated in charming and
brilliant circle, with the wife of his bosom
by his side, the bright waves tapping their
fortune singing none but gay tunes to
his soul; ut the next instant
shock as from q thunderbolt in his
ears, a crash, quaking and an overturning
an thrush of boiling, angry waters, the
bright circle broken forever, strug-
wife, wife's brother and one fair
young form sway blind and dead
to and fro amid the imprisoned waters
drowned. In our compassion for the dead
we almost forget to rejoice over those links
Of the circle of life in the Mohawk's cabin
snatched by strong will and miraculous
circumstance from the opened jaws of
death. Some, we are glad to say,
were saved; but our pitying thoughts
go swiftly back to the terrible picture of
lives of love and beauty and promise
quenched utterly in the swaying charnel
house beneath the cruel waves. We can but
bow our heads and whisper to our hearts
what the Word has taught us of how inscru-
tably the mystery of life is solved
in an instant; how the stoutest
bark that man in knowledge, JOY and pride
can build, is but as paper when the immu-
table hour has come for the whitening
wind to strike and the waves of death to
engulf
Beautiful and firm to sea and wind as
ever boat that sped across the waters seemed
the Mohawk to all eyes through her year
OF life till yesterday. Yet launched in
the rain and wind one day of May year
ago, a gust of wind and a simmer of rain
came out of the blue carrying death to the
fair hand that dashed the baptizing wine
upon her bows, death to the man who stood in
pleasure by that ladys side. Sad enough in
deed the coincidence to bring to mind
the pcrhdious bark,
Built i tn eclipse and rigged with curses dark
that Milton in melodious mourning sung Of
When the first tidings of disaster reached us
they seemed incredible. But few short
miles away stately yacht to founder in
squall while scarce breath Of air stirred
through the sun-scorched city 1t could
not be true. But it was. 1t was too true
Almost within sight of the city what had
happened once before had happened again.
A yacht with life and mrth and worth
aboard had gone down. For awhile it
seemed to stand as solitary story of
wild freak Of the wind, but it was, after all,
not the first catastrophe of the same kind in
the same waters and the same fair summer
time. And this breathes the moral Of it all.
With the strangest, sharpest cry Of sud-
den death there comes mourning wall,
its counterpart, from the past, with awful
warning of the same deep cry of agony to
come again. 1t comes out of the shadow
that hangs unseen above us all, as the wind
bolt came to the living on the Mohawk yes

strengthening Plasters in Politics.


The democrats propose to nominate Horatio
Seymour for Governor. Some republicans
wish to offset this by nominating William
NJ. Evarts. Neither of these gentlemen de-
sires the Office. Mr. Seymour has Just de-
clined to be a candidate for the Presidency,
and the friends of Mr. Evarts think he
would demean himself to run for State Of
flee. Seymour and Evarts are wanted as
strengthening plasters. The more the poll
ticians study the State the more doubtful it
appears. Neither party will have a walk
over. Consequently the strongest names are
wanted for the State ticket. Mr.. Tilden
made up slate at the last convention of IA
vorites and cronies, but this year he evinces
a desire to have the old statesmen and war
horses to the front. Hence Seymour is
named. The republicans have treated Mr..
Evarts with shabbiness that cannot be ex-
cused. He has never received the least
recognition from Grant except to be retained
in the Alabama case. But now the republi-
cans want to bring out the last voter, and
above all that class of men who admire the
splendor of the name of Evarts, the stain
less purity of his life and his high acquire
ments. With Seymour as strengthening
plaster for the democratic ticket, and Evarts
as Strengthening plaster for the republic
cans. We should have . warm canvass

TuDEN AND HAYEs.-It is said that the
reason Governor Tilden does not write his
letter of acceptance is that he is too busy
with his duties as Governor of New York.
Well, Hayes is Governor of Ohio, and he
found time to write letter which helps his
canvass. Uncle Sammy must not let the

The PREVIOUS RUMoBs Of the death of
Sitting Bull in the attack upon General
Custer are in q measure confirmed this
morning, but we still regard it as exceed
ingly doubtful that he is dead. 1t is not easy
10 identify dead savage by means of descrip-
lions and comparisons, and it seems too
much to expect this Sioux warrior to have
met the fate OF Custer and his companions
Still, it may be true, and if it is the mere
fact will do much to destroy the prestige of
the fatal battle from which such evil conse-
uuenccs were feared

EARL DERBY acknowledges the receipt of
= communication from the United States
government relative to the sExtradition
Treaty. He desires further delay to the
expression of parliamentary opinion regard
ing this matter, and the opposition oblige
him so far as to postpone n motion on the
subject Now, while it existed, the treaty
suited us very we'll, and the first objection
rnised to its operation was by the English
Minister. We hope, therefore, that in the
desire to recement the diplomatic relations
between the two countries, our govern
mcnt will make no concessions not consist
ent with our national rights and dignity.
The suggestion of any modification in the
terms of the old treaty must come from Eng
land, to be accepted OF rejected bv us, as our
interests demand.

THE EGYPTIAN GOVERNMENT sets itself
above the law which it has itself created,
and refuses to permit the execution of a
judgment rendered against it by one of its
own courts. The result proves that the
Judge considers that his functions rs dis
penser of Justice have ceased and he there
fore closes his court. The nature of the
case which has led to this deadlock between
government and court is not yet fully known,
but it illustrates very clearly the difficulties
that surround litigation where an absolute
ruler is the defendant.
The New York herald., 1876-07-21

The WEATHER will continue warm and
cloudy, with occasional local thunder
storms passing to the northwest of this city,
which will probably give us a sprinkling of
rain now and then. Copious raintalls have
occurred in the Upper Missouri and Missis-
sippi valleys and over the lake region, which
will be felt in New York State tomorrow
and Sunday. On Tuesday the temperature
will fall somewhat, and cool weather. with
westerly winds, will prevail for some days.
The New York herald., 1876-07-21

If he THINKS the place to which he has been
nominated too small let him decline it. If
the democrats cannot win without Hendricks
they cannot win with him. AS it is his un-
certain, menacing, dissatisfied, offcious at
titude hurts the Tilden canvass. If he
really means to run for Vice President let
him take his place behind his leader, listen
to the music and keep time until November.
