him if he carries out his animated threats
Some of the custom-house clique who have
been opposed to Packard's recommendation
for federal Offices claim that Packard Is
wrothy because Hayes is about TO remove
United States Marshal Pitkln and one or two
more of Packards adherents, and that this
course is taken to bulldoze Hayes. Others say
il is Morton. Blaine dodge to whip Hayes

remembered that when Springfield had her

80 of the wealthlest citizens of Springfield
signed bond agreeing to convey these four
acres to the state free Of cost; and now the
legislature has dlrec ted the secretary OF state

of these 80 wealthy citizens to make good
their bond. OF course they will do it-in a

and visited New York, under pretense of be

Halleck, but really to feel bit Of the public
pulse as it beats Hayes.ward in view OF his
recent revelation of southern policy. The
popular approval of his policy, as indicated
by the number OF people that gathered about
the depot on his arrival and that swelled the
procession on his way to the hotel was fiat
tering enough, and this feeling received al
ditioral emphasis at banquet that was given
him BY the Chamber Of Commerce IN the
evening, which was attended by a full repre-
sentatlon of the merchant princes and money
lords of the city, without distinction of party
and the speeches at which were all that could
be desired. But there was "a Mordecai at the
kings gate" While the merchant princes and
money lords, intent only on their gains, were
ready enough to do honor 10 the po.entate
whose favor could contribute TO their boards
the invitation the Chamber of Commerce had
extended to the Governor of New York and
his cabinet, to Samuel j. Tilden, y. S. Hewitt,
and other prominent democratic politicians,
was frigidly though respectfully declined.
The "court journal" is supremacy disguised
IN consequence, but with proper degree Of
self respect it is hard for honest democrats 10
see how they could have done otherwise,
The unvelling of the statue took place at
O'Clock next day, and was witnessed by an
immense concourse The veil american
flag was withdrawn by President Hayes,
who accompanied the act with very brief
speech, telling the audience that this was
Hallack's statue, and that on behalf Of the
subscribers, he presented 1t to the city OF New
YORK. William Allen Butler delivered the
Grafton, ard Richard Grant White read a po.
elm written tor the occasion by John G. Whit
tier, who was not present. This ended the
ceremony. In the evening the President and
party had reception at the residence of ex.
Gov. E. D. Morgan, and on Thursday morning
they returned to Washington.
The poet Halleck, in whose honor all this
pageant took place, ranks only as one Of the
minor poets of America though interviewer
here and there in his writings are flashes of
genius that must forever keep his name alive
as one who had been endowed with the genu
Inc poetic inspiration Where, IN the Eng
lish language for instance, can lines be found
more happily conceived and more frequently
quoted than this exquisite quatraln, on the
death of his genial lcompanion and bosom
friend, Joseph Rodman Drake:
Screen be the turf above thee,
Friend OF my better days;
None knew the but to love thee,
None named thee but to praise"
Or these lines, from his Marco Bozaris:
"One of the few, the immortal names
That were not born 10 die"
For high-fown, sonorous English The
American Flag" the JOINT production of
Haleck and Drake, has perhaps nothing to
excel it in our language, but as piece of
true poetic art it Is crammed with faults and
could never bear the ordeal of close critical
analysis.

France.

France has had ministerial crisis, the
most serious since the fall Of Theirs. The
country is thoroughly republican. McMa-
hon has been compelled to surround himself
with republican ministry, and both legls!a
tive chambers are strongly republican. le'
Mcmahon is an Orleanist and monaFchlst
and he has written n letter divulging !nGe-
Gently the secrets of cabinet consultations
and complaining of his ministers N such d
way as TO force them to resign. Inc CHAM
bers, by large majority, voted confidence IN
the ministers. This isolates Mcmahon, and
as dissolution would only bring him still
more hostile assembly, there seems nothing
left for HIM but his own downfall or Ma
poleonlc coup d'etdt, either to place Bour-
bon on the throne or make himself dictator
The situation is regarded as painfully seri-
Gus. France actually seems 10 be on the eve
of bloody civil war.

The attitude of England may be regarded
as better defined by the termination Of the
debate on the Gladstone resolutions. The
liberals, though generally voting with Glad
stone, conceded that they found no fault with
the position of the government as defined by
Mr.. Cross, to the effect that England would
strenuously avoid war until compelled to take
up arms for the protection of British inter-
ests, Mr.. Cross intimating that the mainte
nance of the integrity and independence OF
the Turkish empire was not a British inter
est. Mr.. Goshen QiberaD said the extortion
OF this declaration from the government VIM
dicated the usefulness of the debate. The
Gladstone resolution was defeated on Monday
night by vote of 354 to 900, and Sir Henry
Wells substitute adopted, That the house
declines to entertain any resolution which
may embarrass the government il its main
,enance OF peace and protection OF British
interests"
