The Democratic state Canvass.

The Witness informs us that the demo-
cratic leaders have determined to nomi-
nate Manton Marble for Governor. If
this decision has been made it is a
wise one. The suggestion about naming
Mr. Seymour, when it is known he does not
want the ofice-spurns it. in fact-and if he
took it would do so as kind of strengthen
ing plaster for Tilden, does not find favor.
No one doubts that Seymour would make
good Governor, but the chief office in this
Empire State is not to be forced upon any
man as penance. AS such Seymour would
regard it if hS were nominated Mr.
Dorsheimer is suggested. But while Mr.
Dorsheimer has many gifts, and has a strong
hold on Tilden for his services at st. Louis
there are twenty democratic leaders who are
older and better soldiers. None of them,
BILE. We trust the Democratic Convention
will nominate him by acclamation- Marble
running for Governor would be real can
vass. Seymour in the field would be a sham
canvass
The elevation of q journalist to position
of the dignity of the Governorship of New
York would be compliment to the profess
sion of which Mr.. Marble is so distinguished
member. Such things are done in France,
where journalism is a power in politics,
which had a journalist for President in
Theirs, and which sends it's best editors into
the Assembly. Such things are done in
England, where the journalistic class has
hal n.l.x ~
Lowe. But in England the tendency of
journalists is to keep out of public affairs
and to shroud their personality with a re-
serve that strengthens their independence.
This to some extent is commendable, and If
Mr. Marble were now at the head Of a news
paper we could understand how his nomina-
tion or even his election to any Office, no
matter how elevated, would be distasteful to
him. But his retirement from the World,
his prominence at st. Louis in the Conven-
ton and his high place in the management
of the Tilden canvass are all SO many rea-
would be appropriate.
Governor Tilden could not aid his can
vass more effectually than to name Mr.. Mar
BILE for Governor. He would compliment an
eminent journalist. He would give the
command Of the New York division of his
army to one fully competent. He would
recognize the services of warm, discreet
and sincere friend. More than all, he would
choose q candidate whose election would give
the Empire State chief magistrate Of whom
the whole Commonwealth would be proud.

followers were with Tildens nomination.
The selection of speakers was somewhat
singular one, Ex-Governor Walker, of Vir-

the principal orators. These gentlemen
were the tallacious hope of the democracy

General Butler and Governor Cham.
bcrlain.

General NJ C. Butler of South Carolina.
has written q letter to the HERALD, which we
print this morning, in reply to Governor
Chamberlain, touching the Hamburg riot.
Butler characterizes Chamberlain's epistle as
q fancy sketch, and challenges the Governor
to take steps at once to have the rioters
arrested and punished. Clearly this is the
true course to pursue, and we sincerely wish
Governor Chamberlain had remained at
home and endeavored to do this instead of
spending his time at Washington as if to
seek extraneous aid in matter where the
State authority only should be exerted. At
the same time General Butler can perform
an act which will force Governor Chamber
lain to accept his challenge, even if the
Governor obstinately refuses to make the
necessary arrests in this case. 1t is well
known that he is charged with being
among the rioters. His own reputation,
which, we believe, is very dear to him. ought
to impol him to make his acts at Hamburg
clear to the country, not by bold assertion
merely, but by actual evidence His letter
promises much in the way of proof. Now,
let him bring his proofs to the test by sur
rendering himself to the State authorities
for trial. This will afford the same oppor-
tunity for developing the facts in the case
that would be afforded by his arrest upon
the order of the Governor, and the Governor
could not evade the issue. A good many
men in the North believe that it is not easy
even for the Governor of South Carolina
to arrest and punish lot of determined
white men who have wronged the negroes
General Butler has a splendid opportunity
to disprove this false theory and the false
hoods'he charges upon Governor Chamber
lam by simply going into a court of justice
and demanding trial like any other al
legged offender.

The Custer Monument.

The action of Mr.. August Belmont in
accepting the treasurership Of the fund
for the erection of a monument to the
memory of Custer and his men is only
another evidence of that public spirit
and liberality which have given Mr. Bel
mont so high place in the esteem of his
fellow citizens. We have transferred to Mr..
Belmont the funds sent to us. At the same
time we shall be happy to receive subscrip-
tions as heretofore, to make public acknowl-
edgment and to do all in our power to
push on this work. The monument we pro-
pose is not tribute to Custer alone, as some
correspondents think, but the memorial of
great deed and sublime sacrifice The
men who died in the Yellowstone were men
who died in performance of their duty. 1t
was an act to be remembered with Leonidas
at Thermopyl@, with the charge of the
Light Brigade at Balakava. Deeds like this
exalt race ; and the character of the sub
scriptions received by the HERALD shows how
deeply the event has sunk into the hearts of
the people. Thus far the subscrip ption in
honor of this monument has been the
peoples. The men it is proposed to honor
were men of the people, who came from the
humblest walks of life, and whose careers
are the best illustration of the manliness and
courage Of the people

Donr Hurry UP the Governor.


Some of our exchanges are impatient with
Governor Tilden because he does not write
his letter of acceptance. They point out ths
fact that Hayes, ''weak and feeble" as he IS,
managed to write a most admirable letter be-
fore he was as long in nomination as Tilden
has been. They argue that this shows
higher degree of executive ability on the
part of Hayes than Of Tilden.
But our friends do not look at the ques-
ton impartially. The letter of Hayes was
short. Tildens will be long, and will,
therefore, take more time. Hayes had
candidate with him who was willing to ride
behind Tilden has colleague who labors
under the halucination that he has been
nominated for the Presidency. Time is
necessary for harmony. Then it is i'm
portant that the two sides should agree; and
it may be that Tilden waits for Hendricks
while Hendricks waits for Tilden. More.
over Congress should adjourn, so that
the Governor should know what both
houses have done, and contrast the sue
cesses of the democratic House with the
failures of the republican Senate. There
are the October elections in Indiana and
more expressive letter if he knew how
these States voted than at time when no one
knows how they will vote. There are twenty
reasons for delay and if the Governor will
only have his letter ready by October Is or
November the country will be satisfied.

and learned lectures on the duty of those
towns in regard to their fire departments and
the construction of their buildings. The ar
ticles were admirably written, showed sur
prising knowledge of fire-escapes and lath-
and-plaster partitions and of the compare
tive merits of walls of brick and stone and
iron, ievinced thorough understanding Of
the proper organization of fire companies,
and were enlivened by keen satire at the ex-
pense of the ignorant and needless people
who bad let their homes burn down. The
articles were excellent reading and were
very valuable, for they clearly showed how
any considerable destruction by fire may be
avoided, and what wise precautions New
York had taken, and gave with great smi
