'MR. HEWITT says that bonds will 60
up as soon as the conference plan is in
troduced "-that accounts for the milk in
the cocoanut. The "bonds" are in the
way. The Presidential issue must be
settled not with reference to right and
justice, but to save the value of the
"bonds." Shylock must have his pound
of flesh.

OUR Sea-shore contemporaries areunan-

are appealing for nothing but what is
right. Can a Democratic Legislature
afford to reject their petition?

THE people have decided the Presi-
Dental election at the ballot-box. The
Constitution prescribes the mode of
counting the votes. Congress has no
authority to transfer the power vested in
it to an irresponsible tribunal, nor have
its Democratic members right to imperil
the fruits of the victory which was fairly
won for reform at the polls.

Ghazi Nlouk htar's Defeat /.

The fanking movement by the Russians
against the Turkish lines east Of Kars has at
length proved successful. After the aban-
donment Of his advanced position at Kizil
Tepe, which was necessitated by the mass
ing Of large Russian forces against his left
wing, Moukhtar Pacha retired to strong
position on the Aladja Dagh, range of hills
overlooking the plains which extend be-
tween tho rivers Arpe-Chi and the Kars-
Chi, the scene of the recent heavy
fighting. In this position, and in
more compact formation than when
he held the Kizil Tepe line, the
Turkish commander awaited Developments
These came in the shape of powerful
assault on his lines by the Russians, which
resulted in his complete defeat, with the
loss OF many guns and his camp. Our
special despatch from near the scene of the
battle, published this morning, gives the
details Of the engagement. Moukhtar's y
broken army must now depend on its legs
to reach Kars in safety; but there is a prob
ability that the Cossacks may get there first
and spoil the Turkish plans. The turning
point Of the campaign in Armenia seems to
have been reached, and we are fully sus-
tained by late events in the views we have
expressed as to its issue.

Register At Once.

To-day is the second day for registration
in this city. The number registered on the
first day this year showed very great fall
ing off from 1876, and was considerably
smaller than in the preceding year. 1t is
to be hoped that there will be more liberal
attendance at the registration places to-day,
since it is very desirable that there should
be pretty full vote in the Ecxt election.
There are no very valuable local offices to
be filled, it is true, and the interest felt in
the election by the politicians is therefore
moderate. But the people arc concerned in
the selection Of good men for the positions
Of legislators and Aldermen, and the better
class of citizens should not by their indif-
ference or neglect suffer these important
offices to fall into bad hands. While we have
machine politicians and men Of no position
or responsibility in the Board Of Aldermen
it is impossible to hold any salutary check

him an absolute power of removal
at his pleasure. From n democratic
point of view it would be attended
with the advantage Of permitting the dem
ocratic President, if democrat should be
elected in 1880, to make clean sweep of
the republican employees of the government
and fill their places with democrats. But
we doubt whether the democratic members
will be controlled by this consideration. A
repeal OF the Tenure of Office law would
make the President Independent, not only
of his own party, but independent of the
democrats. They will probably prefer to
retain such control over him as they
possess. Under the Tenure of Office law
he can only suspend officers, but cannot
remove them without the consent Of the
Senate. The democrats are strong enough
in the Senate to insure such consentin every
case when they approve of the action Of the
President, and they will probably prefer to
keep him in q condition Of dependence on
their votes instead Of giving him a carte
blanche power to remove officers at his
pleasure. They do not expect any serious
differences between a democratic President
and democratic Senate and will prefer to
keep the hold they have on President Hayes
in his dependence on them for the success
of his removals.

TIE WEATmER.-Thc depression which on
Monday was north of Lake Superior has moved
southeastward across the ST. Lawrence Valley
and the New England States, on the line which
we indicated it would follow. Rains continue to
attend this disturbance, but the winds have not
yet increased in force to any considerable dc
gree. In the Southwest the depression which
we also predicted would be developed has en-
tered the Lower Mississippi Valley States with
attendant rains, which extend northward to the
Red River Valley. This depression will very
probably develop into storm of considera-
bic energy rs it advances eastward. 1t
has already exercised u marked in

two on a line parallel with the Ohio Valley, and

Middle Atlantic coast Light rains have fallen
through the Missouri and Upper Mississippi val

over that section. The highest prcssurcs are ut

The Activity Among the Oarsmen

The quiet which prevailed among the
oarsmen early in the season, made the more
marked by the absence, for the first time in
many years, of national university race,
has given way recently to unparalleled ac-
tivity, especially among the very best oars.
Courtney, Riley and Plaisted at Saratoga;
johnson and Ten Eyck at Owasco Lake,
the recent fall meeting on the Harlem,
Morris summary disposal of Luther, Han
Ions suspiciously easy work on Monday with
SO good man as Ross, Higgins sweeping
victory over Boyd, the English champion
these make it plain that the prospect for good
rowing in the future, particularly among the
professional scullers, is far brighter than ever
before. III the weather proves tair to-day
two very interesting meetings will take
place-namely, that on the Susquehanna at
Owego, and that Of the Metropolitan As
sociaton of Amateurs on the Kill Won
Kull, off Staten Island. At Owego Courtney
is to have the pleasure Of suddenly facing
Hanlon and Morris, both flushed with recent
victories, while good men like Riley and
johnson stand ready to fight hard for second
place. 1t is just possible that Courtney's
Waterloo has come, especially it he is not in
good condition. For the Metropolitan meet
ing the Atalanta, Nautilus, Columbia Col
lege, Nassau, Dauntless and Carman clubs,
of this city; the Nereid, OF Brooklyn, and
Tritons, of Newark; the Neptunes and
Hespers, of Staten Island, and the Argo-
nautas, of Bergen Point, are all entered, and
each of the six events promises especial in
tcrest 1t is pleasant to know that the fine
distinction which makes one profess
sional oarsman who happens once to have
caught few more trout than he could use
and to hsye sold them, has outlived its USE
fulness, and that many ofthe first clubs in
our land are having the courage to say 80,
and to hold that professional oar IS, sub
stantially, one who rows match races for
money, or who gets his living as water
man, not he who rows simply because he
loves to, all the prize he asks being few
inches OF ribbon.
