gone to Europe in apparent discourngement;
Alr. Hendricks was inactive, Judge Groes-
beck and General Ewing were openly advo-
eating the dissolution of the party, and
nobody can dispute the claim Of Mr.. Thur
man to the supreme place of honor in that
critical year.
The victory Of the soft money democrats
in the Ohio Convention makes it certain
that this question will come up at st. Louis
and be the occasion Of q sharp controversy.
If the hard money men had prevailed in
Ohio the inflationists would have had
their hopes dampened and might
have thought it inexpedient to fight
a. strenuous battle in the National
Convention. But after their success at Gin
cinnati yesterday it is certain that they will
not give up the contest without a struggle
The fact that the democrats in Congress
were kept at deadlock on this question
during tho first three or four months of the
session, and after long succession Of eau
cuses abandoned it in despair, unable to
agree or even to compromise their differ
ences, proves the strength of tho imitation
wing of the party and its unyield-
ing tenacity. 1t will very likely happen
at St. Louis, as it happened yesterday at
Cincinnati, that motion will be carried to
adopt platform before ballo.ing for candi-
dates, and the infationists will try to make
it of such character that no pronounced
hard money candidate can stand upon it. If
they succeed in this they will destroy all the
chances of democratic success in the cleo
toral colleges, and bolt by the hard money
men would be the wisest thing for the
party, for there would then be posi-
bility of throwing the election into tho House
of Representatives. where one or the other
of tho democratic candidates would succeed.
But the chances are greater that the hard
money men will preponderate at St. Louis,
and that they will attempt to conciliate their
opponents by making concessions in the
platform, and will then nominate hard
money candidate.
The victory of the imitation democrats in
Ohio does not help the chances Of Governor
Hayes Had the result been different, had
the Democratic Convention behaved reason
ably yesterday, there would have been q
possibility of the democratic party carrying
Ohio in October, and it might have been
thought expedient to nominate Hayes as the
strongest candidate for carrying that State.
But the infationists have given away Ohio,
and any candidate the republicans may
nominate will carry it with as much GER
tainty as Hayes.

There is no more harmless and inoffensive
faith than that of the people who call them
selves Second Adventists, and who are more
widely known as Millerites. They count the
days in the Book of Daniel, and the number
of the Beasts in the Book of Revelation,
and set the time when they believe the Mil
lenrium will dawn and all earthly things
shall take on a sudden and miraculous
change for the better. Meantime they live
on the nearest shelf, and once in while,
usually in the pleasant springtime of the
year, they hold public meeting to warn
mankind of their sins and their unfitness
for the day Of dread, and if one planet ma
lignantly persists in classifying their arith-
metic they only revise the count and shove
the calendar ahead little. Some day they
will be right, and will have the exquisite de-
light of calling out to the poor wretches
without ascension robes, II told you So"
We trust we shall not be thought profane
if wesay that the gentlemen who met the
other day at the Fifth Avenue Hotel seem to
us kind of political Second Adventists. 1t
was q company of undoubted virtue, of the
very best intentions, with most laudable
desire to make the world over and cure all
the evils from which we suffer. Paul Louis
Courier described political conservative as
one who, if he had stood by at the creation of
the world, would have exclaimed, "lMon Dict
don't, don't disturb the chaos r Our Fifth
Avenue Hotel philosophers are no such men
as this. They rather resemble another
Frenchman, who modestly remarked that,
though he found the world, on the whole,
IN excellent and commendable world, if he
had been present ut the creation he thought
he could have made some valuable sugges-
tions.
There are many good people who regret
keenly that SO much wisdom and virtue as
was collected in hotel parlor here should
apparently run to waste; but we advise
them to moderate their grief. 1t is in fact
rather matter for congratulation that our
political Millerites have but little influence in
this country. Ardently DESTROYS to make the
world over, they are really revolutionaries,
and where they have had power they have
often shown themselves mischievous class.
In France, il Germany, in Mexico and Cen
trail America it is their kind who in the
name of all tho virtues upset constitutions,
and by their restless energy, their blameless
personality and the enticing grandeur of
their visions, persuade excitable masses to
attack the established order of things, in tho
hope that somehow, il they only kick up
their heels and break all the furniture, they
can get a new house.
Fortunately, here they are harmless. Nor
can one restrain a smile as he reads the list
of names, for many of them have figured at
such gatherings for number of years. They
met four years ago at Cincinnati and nomi-
mated the late Mr.. Greeley; and met again
few weeks later at the Fifth Avenue Hotel to
denounce Mr.. Greeley. They met in 1864 and
opposed the denomination Of Mr. Lincoln
in very much the same phraseology which
they now use; and not few Of them then

EARL DERDY's REPLY to Mr.. Fish's note
regarding the Extradition Treaty with Eng
land has been received in Washington and
synopsis Of it is published in our
Washington dispatches. Earl Derby moves
the issue entirely from tho ground taken by
Mr.. Fish in his note, and defends the refusal
to deliver up winslow, on the ground that
such refusal is in harmony with the treaty
itself irrespective Of the British act
of Parliament of 1870, which, Earl Derby
claims, does not enter into the consid-
alton Of the British government in its view
Of the case. 1t. raises q question of fact
which we think Mr. Fish has already disposed
Of efFectually-namely, that the actionin the
case of winslow is entirely in consonancc
with the treaty itself It further states that
the British Foreign Office cannot so behind
the magisterial dira to determine the case.
This, we are sorry to say, looks very
like lodging the responsibility. as the police
magistrate has been, At any rate in this case,
guided By The government lawyers.

AMNESTY for the Communists is still the
uppermost topic in the French Chamber of
Deputies. The division on M. Raspails
motion for q complete pardon to oil will be
narrowly scanned by all France, the radicals
evidently wanting to make record for the
Assembly on what they hardly hope to carry.
We are glad to note at the same time that the
sending of delegates to the Centennial Ex-
hibition has not been overlooked in the
turmoil of party warfare.

The HERALD special despatch from Fort
Lincoln, Dakota, announces the starting
from that point of q column of soldiers, one
thousand strong, finely equipped and well
provisioned, to open the campaign against
the wild Sioux. As will be seen from our
despatch, thoroughly digested plan to
whip these troublesome Indians has been
prepared by the War Department, and we
propose to lay it, briefly, before our readers
without venturing to criticise it. The scene
of active operations is laid in that portion Of
the Territory OF Dakota lying between the
Little Missouri and Yellowstone rivers and
bounded on the north by the Missouri River.
1t may be roughly described as o parallelo-
gram about one hundred and fifty miles long
by fifty broad, the Little Missouri and yell
lowstone, which form its eastern and west
ern sides, flowing toward the great river
in north-northeasterly direction. Sit
ting Bull, the fighting chief of the Sioux,
has his fifteen hundred lodges, capable of
furnishing three thousand warriors, camped
near the Little Missouri, and to strike him
before he has time to move or to catch him
if he runs, is the object of a triple move
ment of United States forces. First of these
counts the command of General Terry, in
Guiding the gallant Clusters cavalry regi-
ment, which has started from Fort Lincoln
on march of one hundred and fifty miles
due west, and is heading directly for Sitting
Bulls camp. The second and more prop
erly the supporting force, under General
Gibbon, has started from Fort Ellis, Mon
tana, near Bozeman City, on the Yellow
stone, to descend the river for two hundred
miles until reaching depot Of provisions to
be established near the mouth Of the Big
Horn, tributary of the Yellowstone. This
will place Gibbon to the west of Sitting
Bulls camp, in q position to catch the
Indians if they break before General Terry
and run west. The third force is that under
General Crook, the renowned Indian fighter,
whose command moves north for three hun
bred miles from Fort Laramie to meet the
Indians if they break from Terry and Glib
bon and run south. The only road this
leaves open for the Indians is to the north,
where the broad Missouri confronts them.
This rude sketch of the plan Of an Indian
campaign on larger scale than has been
undertaken for years is necessarily incom-
plete. and those who know anything of Indian
fighting arc aware how futile finely drawn
plans are with willy enemy better informed
than is generally supposed; prepared to take
advantage of every condition of the ground;
that can run for days and days with scarce
mouthful of food and that naturally knows
the country better than the invaders. The
most hopeful side of the plan is that which
provides for meeting the Indians if they run
away, which is one of the greatest points in
their strategy. As our despatch indicates,
we may look out for lively times in Dakota
in couple of weeks.

The Political Conventions Yesterdays
Yesterday was an active day in national
politics, conventions having been in full
blast in not less than five States. The most
important Of these conventions was that OF
the Ohio democrats, on which we have COM
mented in another article. Next to Ohio
the Republican Convention in New Jersey is
OF most interest. Its proceedings were en-
tirely harmonious, and, although its dele
gates to the Cincinnati Convention were not
instructed, it is understood that they are
pretty unanimous for Mr.. Blaine, who has
been helped great deal by his position on
the ti-Catholic question. The secret league
against the Catholics had its origin in New
Jersey, and was strengthened by what was
called the Catholic Protectory bill A letter
from New Jersey citizen to Mr.. Blaine.
which was surreptitiously obtained and pub
lished last fall, and which showed, or seemed
TO show, that he had been initiated into that
secret Order, has made him its favorite.
Whether his alleged membership be fact or
fiction it is certain that he Endorsed the
views promulgated by President Grant on
tuuI SuUJecC III ulS well huoWu OOb AAO1uo1
speech. and he is likely to reap all
the advantage which will accrue to any
body from that issue. The State Of New
Jersey is more important to him than his
own State of Maine, New Jersey having
eighteen votes in the National Convention
and Maine only fourteen. Mr.. Blaine is
visibly gaining, although he has not yet
delegates enough to make anything like
majority.
The Alabama Republican Convention is Of
little significance, because the republican
party is split in that State, and the other fac
ton of it hold q convention next week and
will select delegates having different pref
erence. The anti-Spencer Convention yes
terday favored Mr.. Bristow but the federal
office-holders belong mostly to the other wing
of the party. Nobody can predict which set
of delegates from Alabama will be admitted
to seats at Cincinnati.
The Greenback Convention, at Indianapo-
lis, is one of the side shows of politics, and
as it sends no delegates to either of the ma
tional conventions its action cannot affect
the prospects of any of the candidates.

as noted in the reports for April shows
steady increase, there being, what is es-
pccially noteworthy, closer approximation

registered than ever before. This is doubt

for its complete application were made.

believed poor Mr. Lincoln to be conspira-
tor against the liberties Of his country, and
did not hesitate to accuse him Of being a
politician, which ID as much as to say, In
their vernacular, monster of wickedness.
They hailed with delight General Grants
determination to have nothing to do with
politicians, and thought it a mark OF
genius in him to select his Cabinet
from among obscure and unheard-of
persons, and they do not yet see that the
only really successful and creditable Cabinet
officer chosen by General Grant-namely, Mr.
Fish-was Of the tribe Of politicians whom
they SO abhor, and that his ability arises
from the fact that he had had political train
ing and experience. They cry out that only
fit men shall hold Office, and deny that ex-
perience, a knowledge Of the traditions of
Office and Of political life are an important
element of fitness. They want to parity our
politics. and begin with theory that all
who have to do with politics are necessarily
base and corrupt. They go about persuading
people that political training units men for
