The Two Dorsheim~rs.

New York is happy in the possession Of
two Dorsheimers. One publicly exalts poor
Mr.. Tilden to the skies as the noblest and
wisest of mankind; the other privately
describes him as no better than a blunderer
and even speaks of his physical appear
ance," but allows him TO be IAN interesting
person" with bad habit of procrastination.
New York staggered under one Dors-
heimer; what will it do with two? 1t is
dreadful to think of. Let MS hope that
there are not two, after all. Let us hopo
that there are two single gentlemen rolled
into one. Let us hope it is q case like that
of Mr. Orator Puff, who had two tones to
his voice. But we hereby give notice that
if New York shall be found to contain two
Dorsheimers we will Immediately lend one
to the New Jersey republicans to run for
Governor if Mr.. Robson should decline.
Did we hear somebody say that the demo-
cratic party is not dead!
The New York herald., 1877-06-27

The great feature of the war news to-day
is the bombardment Of Rustchuk, the cover,
of course, to ulterior operations for it is
not even necessary to give the Russians
credit for humanity or any other quality
than economy in order to understand that
they are not wasting powder for the sake Of
the destructive effect Of their gunnery in
this wretched Turkish town. There can be
little doubt that this bombardment is o
cover to another passage Of the Danube
which has been actually made by the Russian
right at Rahova. Evidently, however, the
Russians have poured 80 hot fire upon
Rustchuk that the people there may have
the people of the wretched Bulgarian villages
felt last year under the operation Of the
favors Of the bashi-bazouks. If people
happen to remember the events OF last year
it will be found difficult to got up any ex-
tensive sympathy over the fact that the
Turks now have reason to know how it is
themselves. In fact, it will be rather anus
ing to note their grimaces, and certainly the
appearance Of the Turk in the role of an
injured innocent, holding up his hand and
calling upon the world to come and witness
the inhumanity Of the Russians is droll. In
Ardahan they say the Russians committed
great outrages, and now they have gone SO
for in the bombardment Of city that the
tender-hearted, plying Turk has actually
let everybody out Of the prisons rather
than keep them there exposed to
the Russian fire. It is rather bad
for the Ottoman record in the article Of
mercy that it never yet benefited anybody
but few rogues in Jail; while all the world
knows that bombardment, though it is q
noisy and unpleasant infiction, is mild
misery compared to what would be endured
by the people of any Russian town that
should find itself ut the mercy Of
any Ottoman commander. Our dispatches
show that tho number Of Russians now in
the Dobrudscha and pushing forward
against Tchernavoda is thirty thousand. If
that is diversion for the operation Of cross
ing the river above Rustchuk it must GER
tainly accomplish its purpose Of attracting
to itself considerable share of Turkish
attention. The feeling against Redif Pacha,
the Minister of War, is certainly on the in
crease in Constantinople, and another revo-
luton is the imminent result.
The New York herald., 1877-06-27

and at once incurred the hatred of the re-
publican politicians. 1t censured next the
silly threats Of resistance by Northern DEM
these imbeciles. 1t demanded the forma-
ton of an electoral commission to decide
peaceably and in an orderly manner the
disputed election, and behold, once more
the republican politicians abused us.
But the commission being formed
against the opposition of the republi-
can demagogues, the HERALD insisted
that its verdict should be accepted
as final, and the democratic demagogues
took once moro their turn to spitefully at
tack us. Both sides declared the HERALD
inconsistent; but the great public, the peo-
pie, the body Of Independent voters, who are
not seeking Office, but who want peace, con-
stitutional government, order and decency-
these knew that the HERALD was consistent
throughout that its object was to pre-
vent the demagogues Of both sides from
plunging US into disgraceful civil strug-
gle. And we may as we'll say that the inde-
pendent voters have been faithful to their
Then came the new policy, denounced by
the leaders of both parties, heartily ap-
proved at once by tho HERALD and other in
dependent journals, and by the mass of the
people, The politicians, democratic and
republican alike, hate the Presidents
policy because they see that it gives the
country peace and brings forward new and
important questions. The party organs of
both sides tamely follow the lead Of their
masters. Once more the independent
press speaks the voice of the people,
who do not care what becomes of
parties, but look to the welfare Of
the whole country. The two parties
are dead. The Presidents wise and patri-
otic policy knocked the life out of them.
There are still a parcel of political ghosts
materializing here and there about the
country, and as they glide out of their cup
boards they make faces at the HERALD. But
making faces will not save them.
The New York herald., 1877-06-27
New Jersey Politics.

Some republicans in New Jersey propose,
it seems, to nominate ex-Secretary Robson
for Governor. These geniuses ought to
have leather medal given them, with
suitable device engraved on it. One won
ders where they have lived for the last
year and half, or even for the last
three months There is general belief
that New Jersey will go democratic this fall;
these republicans evidently want to make it
sure. We do not hear that the Iowa repub-
licans mean to nominate ex-Secretary Bel
KNAPP; but why not?
The HERALD remarked the other day that
the republican party is dead. Certainly
no live party would "trot out" Mr.. Robson
for Governor, even if it were sure he would
be beaten.
The New York herald., 1877-06-27

This thing is really going too far The
Tammany Society, defunct political or
ganization of this city, materialized long
enough the other day to entreat the country
to be on its guard against 'the craft and
unscrupulous methods" of President Hayes,
and the republican ''soreheads" have been
denouncing him for three months for his
Southern policy. There is a general howl
about the new civil service orders too. And
yet not only Boston, but apparently con-
siderable part Of New England, turned out
yesterday to welcome the President. 1t is
too bad. A great crowd, delighted to see
the President a procession marching
through streets decorated with flowers the
whole population in the streets with
enthusiastic shouts; big hall full OF peo-
pie anxious to shake hands with the Presi-
dent and his Cabinet; a, cordial welcome
also everywhere to ''thet rebel fellow Key"
Is it not about time for the republican
''soreheads" to come in out of the cold !?
What is the use of standing out there?
The New York herald., 1877-06-27
Red Tape and tho India ms.

One Of the principal reasons why red
tape in Washington is more dangerous to
settlers near the Indian frontiers is this,
that citizens who emigrate to those regions
know the nature Of the Indians, and would,
if left alone, do as the pioneers of American
civilization did, and take ordinary risks Of
property and life only. But now the condition
of the West is wholly different from what it
was in the time Of Boone and his fellows,
who penetrated the wildernesses of Ken
tucky and Ohio. Now the government
guarantees every citizen protection, just
as much in Idaho as in New
York. 1t sells the emigrant lands, en-
courages settlements and undertakes to gov
ern our Indian population and keep in sub
lection the wandering savages. For this
purpose it builds and garrisons forts, keeps
standing army in the West and expends
every year millions in providing for the In
dians. 1t is natural tha. the emigrant
should trust the honor Of 50 great and pow
erful government, and should fearlessly
depend upon its promises to protect him
self and his family from the savage
But how is the promise kept2 Let the
recent mnssacres in Idaho make answer.
Again the settlers have been betrayed by
the government, which failed to give the
protection it promised. Worse than this, af-
ter the country has been shocked by the mur-
ders in Idaho, it has refused to send troops
enough to defend the women and children
who were spared, but who are now in dan
ger OF fates worse than death. There is no
authority under the law, it is coolly said,
by which the government can send a part
of it's army to their assistance. If another
dreadful calamity should happen it will
not be to the Indian savages that the coun-
try will turn with wrath, but to the officials
in Washington, who have SO tied up our
troops in red tape that the army is almost
useless for the very purposes for which it is
created and maintained
The New York herald., 1877-06-27
Tornndoes and Rains.

All the region west of the Allegheny Noun
tains and northward Of Tennessee, but
chiefly the Lower Ohio Valley and the trans
Mississippi States, has suffered during the
past two days from violent tornadoes
and an extraordinary rainfall. These
disturbances are due to the remark
able differences Of temperature that
have prevailed in the districts affected,
and to enormous evaporation which
he's been in progress over extensive heated
surfaces. Such a succession of tornadoes
within so short q period has not been ex-
pericnced for many years. They have been
exceptionally violent and destructive, chiefly
to growing corn and timber. Our reports
from many points in the West give the local
effects, and it is to be feared that agricul-
tural interests will suffer seriously in conse-
quence.
The New York herald., 1877-06-27
columbia,s Raee with Harvard.

Instead of being behind at the start Co
lumbia yesterday dashed away with the
lead, held it all the first half mile, relin-
quished it most reluctantly in the next,
steered well, and hung doggedly to her ad-
versary over all the rest of the course.
True to her traditions, she rushed her stroke
ut once up to thirty-nine and did not drop
more than two minute throughout the en-
tire work. This was probably the best thing
she could have done. First, because she never
was SO good at long, slow stroke as at this
sharp, rafting one. Second, because If
show of leading was to be made at all
the place for it was in the first half mile.
Indeed, had she ever before pulled an eight
cared race it is doubtful if she would have
relied on her swift stroke yesterday. For
four or six, rid of every ounce of super
huous weight, it is excellent, and admirably
adapted to 1.-the, springy and rather lightly
built men, such as many of her best
oars have been-such as Captain Goodwin
is to-day. But for Juggling a large and
ponderous craft over q long distance, and
with nine men aboard-one Of whom is al-
work-the careful, measured stroke, far for
ward and back and slow in the recover,
is the one to win. Yesterdays work
hardly showed this, because the only crew
in fit condition to race had mere walk
over and nothing to draw it out. But when,
drive or lead it over every inch of the first
three miles, II not of the whole four, then
the full force of this will be all the palmer.
The HERALD on Monday said that Harvard
could win by quarter of o mile; but that
if she knew what she was about she would
foot Of clear water. The result makes the
justice of that estimate apparent to all. A
crew as plucky as one could wish to see,
but unframed, utterly unused to their boat,
to the distance and to each other, had to
