Some people were surprised that
the democrats on the electoral com
mission voted against counting
Cronin's vote, but it would have
been folly for them to DO otherwise.
The vote of Oregon had unques-
tionably gone for Hayes, and they
could not hope to count it for Til
den. Their sole aim before the
commission in the Oregon case was
TO throw out one vote entirely.
This would have made tie, carried
the matter before the House, and
resulted in the election Of Tilden.

party can succeed in this State only by
compact unity, and unity is possible
only on platform which indorses the
President Mr.. Conkling must perceive
this more clearly than anybody can tell
it to him. His personal influence being
fully vindicated by his control OF the Con-
vention and his election as its president he
will wisely exert his control in such way
rs to carry the election if possible, and, if
that be impossible, in such way as to give
no color to charge that the State was lost
by his hostility to the republican admins
tration. Mr.. Conkling knows well enough
that military coercion of the South is an
obsolete question, and he is not the kind of
politician to ride a dead horse. He will
not even put the Convention in opposition
to the President on the civil service issue.
His friends are still in Office, and he will be
better able to protect them if he indorses
Mr.. Hayes than if he permits declaration
Of hostility. We incline to think that Sen
ator Conkling's success in the election of
delegates insures harmony and good feeling
in the action of the State Convention.

The meeting held here yesterday to adopt means to
supcrscde General James A. Walkers candidacy as
Lieutenant Governor somewhat stormy ono.
G. I. Barbec, OF Brdgewater, one Of the oldest and
stanchest conservatives In the State, and member OF
the Convention al Richmond which nominated General
Walker was chairman Of the meeting Resolutions
looking TO the nomination OF a candidate In General
Walkers place were adopted. Captain H. Il. Riddle
berger of Woodstock, also member Of the Richmond
Convention, was active participant In the meeting
ard in denouncng walkers abandonment Of the
ya,ye platform Hon. Judge Harrls OF tho United States
took grounds against the passage Of the

In Rockingham and Shenandoah counties. and without
some satisfactory explanation the majority OF tho
votes OF these strongly conservative counties will be
cast against him.
FORMIDABLE MOVEMENT.

The Republican State Convcn ito IA

The chief interest in the State Conven-
after tomorrow, turns upon the purposes
of Senator Conkling. His attitude toward
President Hayes is an enigma, but, in spite
of his stubborn personal silence there is
widely diffused impression that he is hostile
to the administration. We suspect that it
will be found that there has been great
deal OF exaggeration on this subject. Mr..
Conkling is q proud man, and very re-
served man in matters which touch his
pride; and his resolute silence since
his return from Europe may have been
misinterpreted by the public. The policy
of President Hayes is really very popular,
but in spite of Senator's Conkling's sup
posed opposition to it his friends have sue
ceeded in electing a majority Of the dele
gates to the Republican State Convention.
This is signal proof of Mr.. Conkling's un-
diminished influence in the republican
party OF his own State. 1t is certain that he
will be able to control the State Convention
and mould it to his wishes, but it would be
an unwarranted inference to suppose that
he will put it into open opposition, or even
into covert opposition, to the President.
He is too sagacious q politician to
do anything of the kind. His ac-
knowledged triumph in the election Of
delegates is sufficient proof OF his
power-a sufficient proof that no rival has
been able to eclipse or supplant him in the
confidence of his party in this State. Hav-
ing demonstrated his continued influence
and ascendancy over the New York repub-
lcans he will doubtless make discreet use
Of his power. He is delegate himself and
will be elected as the presiding officer if he
consents to take the position. We have no
doubt that he will consent, because there
could be no more conspicuous proof that
his leadership is mistaken. When he has
received this mark of confidence, when
it is thus advertised to Mr.. Hayes that
the distinguished New York Senator con-
tinues to hold his old position, he will
make concessions which will be more
valuable by the fact that they are voluntary
Every generous motive and every selfish
motive will impel him to treat the Presi-
dent with respectful consideration. With
power to control the Convention he cannot
afford to SO control it as TO lose the State in
the election. To be sure the State may be
lost to the republicans in any event; but if
| Mr.. Conking puts the State Convention in
! opposition to the President the defeat will
be charged to him, and that would end his
career as a public man. The republican

THE SEA SERPENT has been again heard from
A Scottish bark, which has just arrived, reports
that in mid ocean she passed within ten feet of
him, and that he was tbirtytive feet long and of
dull reddish color. 1t is really difficult to see
why he should be fooling away his time many
miles from land, where he can be Of no possible
service to any one. No decent serpent would be
guilty of any such folly and he certainly cannot
be in any way connected with the exceedingly
thoughtful reptile who SO opportunely made his
appearance on the New England coast "a few
months ago for the purpose of advertising the
watering place hotels.
The New York herald., 1877-09-24

on the good latin OF the Soutn:-"Anu now,
my colored friends" said he ''let me say
another thing We have been trying it for
these six months, and, in my opinion, for
no six months since the war have there been
so few outrages and invasions of your
rights, nor you SO secure in your rights,
persons and homes than in the last six
months. Great cheering)." No colored
citizen in the whole South can dispute the
truth of this statement The magnanimity
of the President and his generous trust in
the sincerity of Southern professions has
done more to secure good treatment for the
negroes than all the military coercion and
terrorism of the preceding twelve years. 1t
is no wonder that the President
was willing to proclaim at Atlanta
more explicitly and with stronger
emphasis than he had ever done
before that he adopted his Southern
policy for the one controlling reason that,
after mature reflection, he believed it to be
right. ''Now, my friends" the President
said, II see it stated occasionally that Presi-
dent Hayes has taken the course he has be-
cause he was compelled to it, (Voice-'We
don't believe it, Now, was compelled to
it. (Applause.) was compelled to it by
my sense OF duty, under my oath of office.
(Immense enthusiasm and cheers.) What
was done by US was done not merely by
force of special circumstances, but because
we believe it was just and right to do it.
(Cheers.)" We are glad that the President
defends his policy on this broad ground,
and thereby takes away from his party IN
the North oil excuse for apologizing for it
as thing forced upon him by the
failure Of the House to pass the
Army Appropriation bill The President
scorns to descend to this imbecile,
apologetic tone. He would have pursued
the same policy il he had possessed au-
thority to pay and employ an army Of a
hundred thousand men. He did not adopt
his Southern policy from a sense Of COM
pulsion, but from sense of justice, and he
feels that the result thus far vindicates his
wisdom. This noble declaration, made in
the heart of the South, and the effect it is
certain to produce on the Southern mind,
removes the last doubt Of the COM
plete success of the policy. The
Southern Senators will not permit
the President to be obstructed by his
own party in pursuing an intention 80
honest, manly and patriotic He could not
have employed the week or two Of time it
has taken to better advantage than in
making this Southern journey, which will SO
strengthen him in public confidence that
there will be no further opposition to his
magnanimous policy. He is more useful
to the South than Mr.. Tilden could have
been, because Mr.. Tilden, instead of silenc-
ing, would have intensified the republican
opposition to such policy. The inaugu-
ration Of Mr.. Hayes was a very fortunate
event for the Southern States, and the best
public of that section SO regard it.

stanley's Undelayed Recognition,

Sir Rutherford Alcock, President of the
Royal Geographical Society, has sent warm
congratulntory telegram to Henry NJ. STAN
ley on his great success. Fortunate, indeed,
is he who, having accomplished great
undertaking, is thus able to command i'm
mediate recognition from the most coveted
sources Apart from those who can only
vindicate the reason of their existence by
crooking themselves into perpetual notes Of
interrogation, or those who 60 everywhere
prepared to scoff, even though they
are forced to ''remain to pray" there are
many we'll meaning, conservative souls Of
whom Thomas Didymus was the type. To
the former "a hinge or loop to hang
doubt on" is godsend; to the latter it is a
grave reason to withhold praise The mod
ern scientist is almost entirely of this class.
1t is not his cue to doubt, but to accord be-
lief only when demonstration is perfect.
Stanley, last heard from among the lakes
and rivers of mid-Africa, emerges on the
west coast at the mouth of the Congo,
whittier the best opinion of geograph-
ers, reasoning by the process of ex-
clusion, had believed that he who
followed the course of the Lualaba
would arrive. This is perfect demonstra-
ton, and at once it meets the recognition Of
a great traveller like Cameron and great
geographer like Sir Rutherford, with all
that the official position of the latter carries
with it. The road thus clear for the fuller
details which may shortly be expected we
are content to chronicle with pleasure the
timely utterances of those best fitted to
measure the Importance of Stanley's exploit
to science, to commerce, to humanity. Our
brethren of the American press continue
their appreciative notices, and through
them all we are glad to trace the idea that
the triumph is one in which each of them
has a veritable share.

years ago some persons would have made

without paying four or five hundred per
cent more than the work is worth the expen-
