The Louisiana Returning Board has evlnced
again, as it seemed to evince at the beginning
of its work, a disposition to deal fairly by all
parties. The protest of Democratic candl-
date for Presidential Elector yesterday against
his exclusion from the room while the vote Tor
and against him is canvassed, produced the
effect of determining the Board to allow nm
hereafter to be present. This action, 1t IS be-
lievcd. will be followed by similar modlilca-
ton of the rules in behalf of other candidates or
their counsel, thus resembling the acton OF the
day before, which excluded the Democratic
attorneys This decision will strengthen the
Returning Board in the eyes of all fair-minded
men, and Just now all such want to think as
we'll of it as they can. 1t is the only legally
constituted authority for ascertaining the vote
of Louisiana, and its verdict is law. Every
STEP therefore, which tends to prove its in
tentions honest and its work straightforward
will be gladly received by the great mass of
the people. To them the personality, or even
the political attitude of the President, is of
little consequence in comparison with the vital
necessity of getting the President who has
been honestly elected.

New-York City did well by the Constitutional

sion of Democratic ticKet-peddlers to dis
tribute ballots in favor of them. the vote of

Prof Sumner furnishes an interesting story
of his recent observations in Louisiana. He
says less of the Presidential result than of the
present system of managing elections, and the
condition of the people, but his statement is
the report Of a man who is trying undoubtedly
to tell honestly what he saw. But there can
be no doubt that he looked through Tilden
spectacles.

The friends of sound learning must have noticed
with satisfaction that the Trustees of Princeton, at
their meeting last week, gave signs of intention
to enlarge and strengthen the teaching force of that
college. The report suggested an intention to in
crease both its quantity and quality. This is the
first indication that the respectable gentlemen who
form tho governing board of this institution
had noticed in the columns of The Inde-
pendent the very plain words in which the
Rev. DR.. Ward told them of their deficiency in
this respect We glad to see that they are not,
as he feared welded to the theory that money gath
cred from the charitable and invested in stately
buildings is alone needed TO make great univer-
sity. Harvard and Yale taught their ten thousands
in barracks. and installed professors like Agassz,
Dana, Silliman, Lowell. Marsh. Longfellow, and
Whitney, before they sought to exchange brick for
freestone. Good teachers first, and good buildings
afterward.

A new iron-clad oath will have to be framed,
to be administered hereafter to the Southern
delegations in National Democratic Conventions,
pledgng them not to ignore the National ticket
in their State contests. Fresh confirmation of
Southern indifference to Mr.. Tilden's fate comes
from the observations of Chief-Justice Cartier
given in our Washington dispatches. His
statement that Wade Hampton is said by Judge
Mackey to have mentioned the Presidential
question only once in tour of the whole
State. and then in a semi-declaration for Hayes,
is interesting in view of the fact that at ST.
Louis the vote of South Carolina was cast
solIdly for Tilden.
Alexander III. spoke with becoming candor
to the British Embassador, when on the I'd
inst he declared that Russia had no designs
on Constantnople, that the proposed Servian
kingdom was "folly," and that the conquest of
India was impossible. But events succeed each
other rapidly nowadays Since the Car gave
these assurances, he has answered Lord
BeacOnsfield in defiant terms, ordered the
Russian army to prepare for war, and announced
A national loan. He has also, it is understood,
resolved to demand concessions at the Confer
ence which the Turks will not yield if they
have reason to feel that England will be con-
strained by self-interest to aid them. There
fore. the signs of war preponderate.

There is doubtful report from Baltimore
to the effect that Mr.. William II. Vanderbilt
has been finally worried into a proposal to the
Baltimore and Ohio to waive his former de-
mand that in any schedule of freight rates
from the West no discrimination should
be made against New-York on ac-
count of its greater distance from the Leading
Western shipping points. This very proper
demand by Mr.. Vanderbilt in behalf OF New
York was the origin of the whole railroad
war. If he surrenders this, we do not see why
he should ever have made any nght
at all, and we confess that we are not
yet prepared to believe that ne has
surrendered it. We do not think the New
York Central has always served this city weli'
but it has certainly done its duty manfuliy IN
protecting us from unjust freight d1scrlmina-
tions in favor of rival ports We do not DE-

the year. The sum is not large, but it is
nearly equal to the amount which Mr. Steb-
bins declares to be sufficient. There can be
no doubt of the wisdom of doing at least this
much, and doing it quickly. The matter OF
responsibility for this complication Is one
about which Mr.. Green has his opinions
given elsewhere, and Mr.. Martin his. Mean
while all this argument does not mend roads
or keep parks from going to ruin. Every
consideration Of economy, if nothing else, dl-
rects immediate provision for the regular needs
of the parks. One dollar spent now would
save twenty later. Mr.. Martin and Mr.. Green
can settle the question of municipal ethics
afterward.

PUGET SOUND ARGUS.
FRIDAY, JUNE %. 1876.
The NoN1NEE.-Last Friday night

The NoMINEE.-Last Friday night
a telegram was received in town
announcing the nomination by the
Republican National Convention at
Cincinnati of Rutherford B. Hayes,
of Ohio, for the office of President
of the United States, and William
A. Wheeler, Of New York, for that
of Vice President. The news was
a surprise to many, and particularly
so to those with whom the election of
Blaine was a foregone conclusion.
The nomination was evidently
brought about by combination of
the supporters of other prominent
candidates, who found it impossible
to secure men of their own choice.
Governor Hayes, although, per-
haps, not so well known to the pop
ular mind as some other men in the
Republican ranks, yet has national
reputation, and while his field of po-
litical operations has been mainly in
Ohio his ability as a party leader
has attracted the attention of politi-
clans throughout the country. He
was educated as a lawyer. When
the rebellion broke out he entered
the service as Lieutenant-Colonel of
volunteer regiment which he
had raised, served for the most part
with the army of the West, and be-
fore the close of the war was brevet-
ted Brigadier-G General. At the end
of the struggle he returned to Ohio,
and was soon after elected to Con-
gress and subsequently Governor of
the State. He is a Republican of
the old school, and although Blaine's
nomination might have aroused more
enthusiasm for the time being, the
selection is a strong one and will
doubtless secure the entire vote Of
the Republican party.
Hon. W. A. Wheeler, member of
Congress from New York, and well
known as the author of the Wheeler
compromise, by which the Demo
Gratis elected from the Louisiana
Legislature by the military were re-
stored to their rightful positions,

ALI. Americans rccoIlcct with
pride that in lN5l. oil Cuwes, the
Queens cup was horne OF by the
Yacht America, which defeated a
squadron of British clippers in their
own waters. This coveted treasure
has been held by the Americans ever
since. and is in the possession of the
New York Yacht Club. But the
Royal canadian Yacht Club think
they have a craft now that can re-
capture this prize cup; and in April
last they sent a challenge to New
York for a race for the emblem of
victory. The yacht Countess of
Dufferin has been built expressly
for the undertaking. To give the
Canadians a fair chance to win, the
New York Club has waived the six
months notice required under the
rules, and promptly accepted the
proposition. The race, or a series
of three, will take place on July
10th, 18th and 14th; one race to be
sailed over the course of the New
York Club, one outside, and one over
a course not yet designated; the
winner of two to take the cup. The
boat selected to sail against the
Countess of Dufferin is to be named

CENTURY AND HALF CENTURY
SHIrs.-Upon the supposition that
anything possessing a centennial
flavor is in order, be it ships or what
not, gentleman whose professional
calling has prompted him to keep
record of some of the oldest and most
famous ships in the mercantile ma
rine furnishes the following list:
The oldest vessel in the United
States, the bark Rousseau, built at
Philadelphia 10 1901, belongs to the
port or New Bedford. She ran on
her original bottom until 1870, when
she was supplied with some new
timbers. For many years past she
has been. in the whaling business.
Next in age is the bark George and
Susan, built in 1909. She has been
a fast sailor in her day. Another
pioneer vessel is the bark Globe,
which for a number of years has
been laid up at Sacramento, Califor-
MIA. This vessel made her first trip
as a whaler to the Pacific in 1922,
and arrived at San Francisco in 1924
with full cargo of sperm oil. The
bark Draco was well known in Bos-
ton forty years ago, and was favor
ite vessel. She was built in 1924, at
Duxbury, Mass. Bark Java, built
at Newbaryport, Mass, in 1922, is
now employed in the whale fishery.
The Mount Wollaston, built at Quin-
cy, Mass, sixty-one years ago,is now
almost as good as new. There are
belonging to the port of New Bed
ford twenty-five vessels fifty or more
years old. Among the most famous
tea ships was the Horatio, recently
destroyed by fire at Shanghae, whose
name adorns many of the tea chests
still in existence. She was built
forty-four years ago for the China
was employed in that bust
ness for upward Of forty years.
There was hauled up for the winter
last year at Newburyport, Mass. the
schooner Magnolia, of Surrey, Me-,
which was built at that place in
1881, and the FIRST three -masted
schooner built in that State. A
quarter of a century ago, the largest
ship in our mercantile marine rarely
exceeded 500 or 600 tons register,
while at present the average is about
] 200 tons. There now is large
and magnificent feet OF American
ships registering from 1900 to 1880
