MoRToN's CoSsPIRAcY-MR. A. WAT
son ATWOOD in his regular Philadelphia
letters to the boston Journal Of CtJtanlercs
says, IN reference to the Market street rail-
way frauds: "If Morton, HUM and Stokes
are guilty of the crime alleged against them,
and two of them freely confess their fault.
they ought TO be taken and shot to death.
The rising generation in this republic is
being educated by their own every day ex-
perience, that the greater percentage of
men in public trusts cannot be relied upon
They see, moreover, that the greater the
thief the less his punishment. There ia no
punishment for criminal nabob. 1t is the
ham-fatter who JaIls 1t. Five years ago a
man robbed the city treasury of two hun
dred Thousand dollars, was convicted and
sentenced tofive year Imprisonment. with
heavy fine for condiment. In two
months he was pardoned by the Governor.
anu Today holds clerkship under the CITY
at eo,oVo per year. That man should have
oeen shot, but he wasn't. There is no city
IN america with such little centralized
public influence or sentiment as this CITY n,
Philadelphia. Broad street nortb from
Glrard Avenue to Jefferson street. is called
'Rotten Row. from the fact that a swarm
OF Tweed politicians have bought property
and are living all along there. Fifteer
years ago scarce a man of them was wortl
dollar now they are worth hundreds n
thousands. These men cannot get into re-
spectacle society, despite their thefts. he
cause they have no blood, you know bu
1t has ever been a wonder to me why tn,
respectable society does not make ther
come TO judgment for every disreputabl
dollar IN their filching hands. All the,
Things undermine the faith of the people

example OF the evil doer. II these thin,

MR.. CoNKLING's CONVENTION dwin-
died down fearfully yesterday morning,
fully one third of the delegates having
gone home before the Convention re-as-
sembled. This looks ominis. Those
who did not participate in the nomina-
tions, which were made unanimous may
not feel bound TO support the ticket. 1t
is very possible the gay Senator may find
he spread his feathers too soon and that
there are some men in the Republican
party in New York who are quite as un-
willing to be crushed out, as he is to
crush them
If Hayes who was a soldier in the war
can be thus treated by Conkling who
stayed at home and made lots of money
for himself and his friends out of the war
why there is no use in calling Hayes acts
patriotism, or expecting any further aid
and influence from having been a SOL
der.
Mr.. Conkling may be half right. But
there was no dignity or grace in bearing
himself SO insolently as he did in the
Convention. The like of such proceed
ings never has appeared before in the
country. The truth is Mr. Hayes has
more formidable opposition in his own
party than any President ever had from
the party by whom he was inaugurated.

RUSSIA has seized upon vast States of
Turkey and holds them as in vice,
while she recruits and organizes great
armies within and from those territories.
When these are drilled and fully armed,
and Russia gets all her forces across the
Danube with good bridges for the con.
veyance Of supplies, terrible blow will
be gwen Turkey, and nothing short of
Providential interference will save her
and this she is hardly likly to receive.

Yesterdays New York Sun gives Gen.
George B. Mcclellan, the Democratic
candidate for Governor of New Jersey,
the following gentle reminder:
General Mcclellan will doubtless see the
propriety, under present circumstances, of
refraining from any further argument in
favor of an enlargement of the regular ar
my. His Hdper's Monthly article present
ed his view of the m after; but when we
find that, after he had written his letter ac-
ceptihg the nomination for Governor OF
New Jersey, he gave an interviewer OF the
World his opinion that an enlargement of
the regular army is absolutely necessary,
we must assure him that this is not the
doctrine OF the Democratic party, nor win
it be found iu ccoriance with Democratic
policy.
We certainly agree with what the Sun
says in the above. The people OF this
country claim to be competent for self
government, and don't want to be gov
erned by standing army. They have
witnessed enough of the evils resulting
from the present size of the army. 1t
was threat to use the army to install
fraudulent President that deprived the
people Of their right to chose an execu-
tive officer in 1876. If the Democratic
party is to be led by men who want to
tax the people with large standing ar
my it is time for it to shut up shop; for
the party will not be sustained by the
people unless it carries out its proposed
measures of Retrenchment aud Reform.
And the army is in need of very rigil
reform.

THE New York Herald, which has sus
tained MIR. Hayes pretty strongly, reminds
him very pointedly of his own short-com-
ings in an article from which we COPY the
following:
Again, while many Senators and mem
bers of the House would, we believe glad v
help the President TO abolish the patron
age system, We can hardly blame them it,
seeing, for instance, all Senator Mortop's
friends and favorites provided for in a
lump IN Washington and Indiana; seeing
the President taking care of his own friends
ana faVOrltes with free hand seeing him
appoint 10 office the members of Southern
returning boards, persons certainly not of
exalted character; seeing in short that Mr.
hayes, while refusing patronage" TO some
grants II 10 others and uses himself in ways
and purposes not bit better than those of
the most confirmed machine politicians,
they are angry and cast doubt on the sin
ceritY of his professions.
Toe President proposed to appoint men
TO Office for fitness only only let him
Keep 10 that promise. He proposed to re-
move officers for cause only let MIN stick
to that also. The observes his own rules
strictly and without respect to persons he
need not fear the politicians. The people
Will stand by him. The public does moi
! care tor the grievances of a parcel of sore
heads - 1t IL only when it sees that prof-s-
| sion and practice do not meet that il be-
| gins 10 give its pathy to the politicians
! Senator Conkling's mutiny will be of very
little consequence if the President had
llved squarely upto his promises and if the
| public had not for some time begun to sus
| pect him of an amiable attempt TO carry
water on both shoulders.
