Governor Hampton Succeeds.

The Bourbons of both sides in South
Carolina united their forces to defeat the
selection of Judge Willard to be Chief JUS
tice of the State. The Patterson kind of
republicans hated Judge Willard for his
honorable and dignified conduct during the
counting of the State vote the Bourbon
democrats opposed him because they wanted
an extreme partisan for Chief Justice. Gov
ernor Hampton supported the election of
Judge Willard and he was chosen by large
majority, to the delight Of every sensible
man, Of both colors. in South Carolina.
Judge Willard is an able jurist, dignified
and impartial judge, and he showed himself
the fearless opponent of corruption and
lnisgovernment last year. Some people say
that there is to be but one party in South
Carolina for some time to come. Well, if
such men as Governor Hampton are at the
head of it and it selects such men as Judge
Willard to prominent places, We can wait

Ultramontane agitation will not be fruit
less certainly if it forces the reorganization
of the Ministry in France; but it is very
likely to prove that it might better be fruit
less, SO far as touches the real interests OF the
Church, than to score such victory; for the
necessary consequence must be Ministry

that the clergy should especially desire to

eminent to ''use the legal means at its dis
posal" for the repression OF the clerical
demonstrations, which had gone to such
lengths that they not only threatened the
tranquility of the country, but babe fair by
their declarations as to Rome to compromise
the relations of France with the government
of italy. There was no doubt when the vote
was cast that it expressed the intention of
the House to rebuke the spirit that inspired
these disturbances and to furnish the gov
eminent required moral support for en-
ergetic action; but the phraseology Of the
order of the day rather opened n new issue
than determined the one already open. The
authorization for the government to fuse the
legal means at it's disposal" necessarily pro-
voked the inquiry, What are the legal means
at the disposal Of the government for dealing
with ecclesiastics who seem to exceed the
limits of their function and provoke politi-
cal agitation? This was the ground for a bat
tie between the republicans, who demanded
that the government should not palter
with the evil, and those supporters of the
agitation whom it has been said the Marshal
President does not regard with the greatest
aversion. In this conflict. teased by the
republicans and taken to task by the
President, M. Simon has found that it was
"a bitter glory to hold pre-eminence into
which the logic Of circumstances had thrust
him, to the exclusion of the more legitimate
head of the dominant party, and has re-
signed, the resignation being promptly
accepted. As usual, the fall of the Ministry
was felt on the Bourse, and of course the
city was full of rumors of clerical and
Orleanist intrigues. The resignation of
French Ministry unaccompanied by general

Nothing certain is known as to NJ. Simon's
successor, but the crisis is said to be re-
garded as grave, and the Left is preparing

News from the War.

After having been cut down in swaths Mt
Batoum, as the excited correspondent OF d
London journal hastcned to inform the
world the Russians. according to another
correspondent at that place, are concen-
trating in front of the town prepare
tory to making determined attack.
Comparing the two stories and as
Stunning that the Russian general
is not hotheaded fool who will recklessly
sacrifice his troops against batteries that
cut them down in swaths we conclude that
the recent fight before Batoum really re-
suited in an occupation Of an advantageous
position by the Russians. They are now
probably about to push closer to the
town, so as to be able to destroy
the Turkish magazines established there
We do not believe that the Russians
will seek to occupy Batoum, for it
can be rendered untenable by the Ottoman
feet lying in the harbor. On the Danube
side of the great arena of the war the Rus
slams are massing their corps in such posi-
tions as will enable them to be rapidly di-
rected toward the most favorable point or
points of crossing into Bulgaria. If the
northern front of the Turkish quadri-
lateral is cut concentration of the
troops at Rustchuk and Slistria against
the Russians will be prevented, but the
latter will be placed temporarily between
two fires. 1t is therefore probable that in
order to occupy the Turks at Silistria an
other crossing will be made below that
fortress, and that force will be thrown into
Matchin or Hirsova, and possibly Tultcha
so as to cause further dispersion of the
Turkish army. Thus the two railroad lines
between the Black Sea and the Danube
on which the Turks mainly rely for their
supplies would be practically cut, for the
Russian cavalry would quickly tear up the
tracks by series of dashes ut the nearest
points on these lines. Once the Russians
establish footing in force on the soil Of
Bulgaria we may look for rapid concentra-
ton of the Turkish forces against them,
when the fate of the Empire Of the Sultan
may be decided by Sadowa or Sedan.

eral army. when they could compel silence
on pain of death in their capital, when they
had an army of Indians at their command,
when "Gentile" was only tolerated in Utah,
and they ruled as despots in the Territory
these times have gone by. Their influence
over great part of the Mormon population
has been slowly on the wane ever since the
Pacific Railroad was completed, and justice,
which first made itself felt against Lee, will
no longer be baked there. We hope the
Attorney General is awake TO what is going

the utmost support to the District Attorney

The Fire Fiend in the Woods.

Our latest dispatches from the scenes Of
the devastating fires now raging in Northern
New York, New Hampshire, Massachusetts
and Canada give little encouragement tor
the hope that the march Of the fire fend
will be stayed yet awhile. Reports from
the Green Bay region in the Northwest
indicate that the valuable timber
lands bordering Lake Michigan are on
fire, and that nothing but heavy
rain can prevent the destruction Of an i'm
mense extent OF forest rs well rs other
property. The light rains of yesterday had
no effect on the raging fires, which first
scorch the trees and lesser vegetation into
q condition Of absolute dryness and thon
deyour them with irresistible flames The
intense heat developed by these tempests of
fire drives those who would combat them to
n distance and renders their efforts vain. In
districts where the underground is thick
and dry .backfring" is but desperate
measure after all, and should not be
adopted unless for the protection Of valu-
able mill buildings or villages. Forest fires
are best fought when they are descending
hllsides, and. as we stated yesterday, by
telling belt OF trees toward and from the
advancing flames. Our weather indications
point to the probability of light rains over
the devastated regions, but We fear that
their effects will be inconsiderable.

The farce Of the examination into the
charges of official incapacity and neglect
brought against the Superintendent of the
Banking Department was continued at the
st. Nicholas Hotel yesterday, the Superin-
tendent's counsel raising an objection to
nearly every question put to the adverse
witnesses and the committee in many i'm
portant instances, showing their knowledge
of chow not to do it" by sustaining the OBJ
jections. One witness, however, an expert
who had examined into the affairs Of the
Third Avenue Savings Bank, threw bomb
shell into the camp of the defence by the
straightforwardness and clearness Of his
animation of the books must have enabled
any competent person to discover that
during Mr.. Ellis term Of administra-
ton the entire dividends were made out
of fraudulent entries fraudulent entries
were made of pretended assets and the
whole revenue account from interest was
falsifed An offer to prove that one hun
bred thousand dollars had been illegally
added to the cost of the bank building by
entries which must have been seen by the
bank examiner, whose duty it was to ascer-
tain the actual cost, was ruled out On the
ground that the "dates of the items were
prior to the examination" as if they could
have been discovered if they had been made
subsequent to the examination. The Pres
ldent of the United States Trust Company
and two or three others testified that they
had counselled Mr.. Ellis to act cautiously
and not create panic by unnecessarily
closing the Third Avenue Bank but as they
knew nothing of it's wretched condition and
rascally frauds their testimony did not ben
eft the Superintendent. Besides, Mr.. Ellis
did not ask their advice untilafter Duncan,
Sherman & Co. s failure. As this occurred
the last week of July, 1875, Mr. Ellis could
not have consulted them until August, and
that was more than four months after the
banks rotten and fraudulent condition was
officially made known to him, and less than
two months before the bank shut its doors
on its depositors by its own action.

census of the Inhabitants of the State
of New York is taken at intervals of ten
years, and the State census falls midway
between the preceding and succeeding fed
eral census. The last federal enumeration
was taken in 1870 and the next will be in
1880; the last State census was taken in 1876
and the next will be in 1885. The State
constitution makes it the duty Of the next
Legislature after each enumeration to recon-
struct the Senate and Assembly districts,
giving, as nearly as may be, an equal num-
Der of inhabitants to each This duty was
neglected by the last Legislature and falls
to the present. Both branches of this Legis-
lature being republican it was expected
that they would attempt to gerrymander the
State with purpose to give the republican
party undue strength in the Legislature for
the ensuing ten years. But the bill reported
by Senator Woodin, which will probably
pass, is SO much fairer to the democrats than
they had any reason to anticipate that we
do not believe Governor Robinson will think
himself justified in vetoing it. 1t gives to
the cities Of New York and Brooklyn three
present number. Governor Robinson cam
not afford to veto such BILL for the gain of
members in these two cities may determine
whether the next Legislature will be demo-
cratic or republican. It is really the
fairest bill of the kind ever framed
in this State by the representatives
of dominant party, its fairness being
no doubt due TO the fact that the veto power
is in the hands of the opposition. Mr..
Woodin's bill will probably pass both
branches, and Governor Robinson cannot
veto it without hazarding the supremacy of
his party in the next Legislature. The
three additional votes in the Senate and the
eight in the Assembly from the great demo-
cratic counties of New York and Kings
may determine the party complexion Of the
next Legislature. If the bill is vetoed
neither county will gain any additional
members, although both are entitled to
gains by the large increase of their popu-
lation. The fact that the gain in Assem-
blymen is not in proportion to the
gain in Senators is no valid argyll
ment against the proposed apportion-
ment. The constitution requires the
Senators to be apportioned on the simple
basis of population, but it modifies this
rule in relation to the Assemblymen by the
provision which gives each county at least
one member of Assembly without regard to
it's population. The consequence is that
several counties must have Assemblymen
which would not be entitled to them by the
mere numbers Of the census. The remain
ing Assemblymen are to be distributed after
these members are assigned, and it is not
politics but arithmetic which prevents an in
crease of Assemblymen in New York and
Kings in the exact ratio Of their increase in

desperate effort to move it forward was

should start on another political voyage he
