SOLDJEPS' HOME IN NEW YORK.

This evening there will be meeting Mt
Delmonico's, called by a number OF persons OF
the first responsibility, to give some prellmln-
ary consideration to the project of establishing
q Soldiers Home in the State of New-1Ork.
At later day there will be public meeting
at the Academy of Music to take further
measures toward promoting the same honor
able purpose 1t is stated that through the
activity of the Grand Army of the Republic
the sum of $4,000 has already been sub
scribed for such a Home; farm has been
purchased in Steuben County, and III order to
complete the buildings it will be necessary to
acquire n further sum Of 100000. There
surely should be no difficulty in raising this
very moderate amount The veterans whose

A very rich man in this city when asked to
give something in aid of the Republic during

New-York one of the largest, most populous,
and wealthy of the States, had 50 much to
lose and has saved so much, that Of
all she can least afford to be ranked
with the forgetful and the ungrateful.
Four hundred and eighty thousand men car
ried her banner and fought her battles. Of
this number. without any fault or indiscretion
on their part, it may well happen that many
wounded perhaps in the service or otherwise
disabled for active life may low find them
selves homeless and in general want. The aid
extended to those thus crcumstanced it is an
indignity and an untruth to designate as
charity. 1t is literally, as we have said, the
payment of a debt, and what is more, of II
debt of honor. We might say more, but really
it is hardly necessary. That meeting is TO
be held tonight shows that the matter has
already attracted proper attention in the most
suspicious quarter.

There was n degree of frankness in this
avowal, together with readiness OF COM
municaton and familiarity of manner that
must hayo left the impression on Gov. Hayess
mind that, if he ever should be elected, this
would be an uncOmmonly good man to send
out of the country. How President Hayes
may feel about sending him to Chill to repre-
sent the United States Government we do not
know. There are reasons connected with this
country why his appointment would he hailed
with enthusiasm, but there are others con-
nected with foreign courts which would have
q tendency to modify that feeling and repress
undue exuberance. 1t is well to consider be-
fore making the appointment that we are at
peace with Chill, and Chill has not, so far as
we know, done us any harm. We really see
no opening anywhere in the diplomatic service
for Fitzpatrick. All the nations of the world
have treated us well, and we owe none Of
them grudge.
There was a good deal OF forethought and
wise provision in the remOnstrance made by n
mild-mannered person in the parquet when
they were about throwing over an offensive
person from the gallery" No. no; don't
throw him over now: save him to Kill

offensive person at all-and yeti does seem
too bad to waste him on Chill, when by-and-
by, no doubt, he will be so handy to kill a

ANOTHER WILLING DIPLOMAT

Gen. JudsOn Fitzpatrick of New Jersey is
willing also to serve his country in diplO-
matte capacity. 1t has been represented to the
State Department, as we understand, that if
the Government should express a reasonable
degree of anxiety to avail itself of Gen. Kill
patrick's great abilities as n diplomatist, that
gentleman would not feel at liberty to refuse,
even though he should he desired to represent
the United States as its Minister to Chill. That
is a position which has been once occupied by
the General already, and he may be supposed
to have some familiarity with its--well call
them duties. The CHILEAN Government, it may
also be presumed, is not unacquainted with the
General, or ignorant of his character as states
man and his methods as a dplomatist. Indeed,
if we rightly remember, there are certain mat
tiers of record in the State Department in con-
nectiOn with his diplomatic career in that
country which go to show that at the time of
bis departure from the scene of his great SER
vices he and Chill understood and appreciated
each other thoroughly. We have a suspicion,
though, that however willing Gen. Fitzpatrick
may be TO make the sacrifice demanded of
him in accepting the appointment, the Republic
of Chill will contemplate the prospect of his
return with anything but rapture. This for
reasons connected not very remotely with the
gentleman's behavior and the company lie kept
when he last blessed that South American Re-
public with his diplomatic presence. lie and
Chill know each other intimately, and what
ever he may say about Chill there can be no
doubt that Chill is saying about him, "No more
Fitzpatrick in mine"
The last great public service rendered by
Gen. Fitzpatrick was in the epistOlary line, and
consisted of letter OF great power and pathos to
Gov. Hayes shortly after the lattrr's nomina-
ton. 1t conveyed the information that, in tie
writer's opinion, the success of the party and
election of the candidates depended upon two
things-to wit there must be plenty Of money
and it must be made bloody shirt campaign

As it was never seriously supposed that the
Republican Senate would put Democrats into
the Offices of Superintendent of he Bank De-
partment, Health Officer, Captain of the Port
and Port Warden, the wholesale reflections OF
the Senate yesterday doubtless gave no shock
of surprise to the gentlemen who had
been nominated for these positions and
will not plunge the community in profound
grief But the evident determination OF the
Republicans of the Senate to reject the name
of Gen. Mcclellan will, we are convinced, ex-
cite regret without regard to political con-
siderationS. The Office for which he was
named was created by a bipartisan vote, and
his nomination was as near an approach to a
nOn-partisan choice as could have been eX-
pected There may be honest differences
of opinion about Gen. McClellan's capa-
bilites for the place, but we are
inclined to think the Republican Sena-
tors overestimate the number Of Demo-
Gratis who are thoroughly qualified for this
position. They are certainly setting high
standard for Democratic appointments, if
they think they can get one more reputable
than this. 1t may do no harm to suggest to them
that good nomination, once confirmed, would
pIeveut the possibility of poor one.

Without that qualification of greatness, ST.
lcnce, ex-Mayor Hall was always something OF
a Sphinx. Under much verbiage he concealed
his greater or lesser thoughts. His jokes had
a tinge of sadness and his very puns were
often so dry as to suggest melancholy. His dis-
appearance on Friday night last without word or
sign to any friend disposed to speak, may
be accounted for by murder, suicide derange-
ment or hoax but we strongly suspect that
that theory will prove the true one which sug-
gests that he has gone abroad to avoid
testifying against Peter B. Sweeny, the
man who made him politically, and the
one friend in whom he had perfect
faith and to whom he was always loyal.
There is no positive evidence of the truth OF
this or of any other theory-in fact, all the
evidence is negative and unit to condemn
dog on-but thus far this is the only one
based on any other fact than that he Is mis-
sing from home and office.

Hayes's Two Great Cards His Failure
to Exhibit in New Jersey.
From the Newark N. J., Journal

The management Of the Presidential
show by Mr.. Hayes reminds us strongly
of Barnum. The latter always labored,
so he told the people, for their benefit
never for the fifty cents admission fee,
In like manner Manager Hayes comes
forward every time and says he is labor
ing around only for the benefit of the
country-never a moment for the pur-
pose of working up return Of seeming
popularity. The two great cards of the
troupe are erring Brother Key and the
embodiment Of the temperance cause,
Mrs. Hayes.
While Manager Hayes has on every
occasion trotted out Judge Key as "a rare
attraction" Mr.. Evarts or Gen. Devens
have seen to it that Mr.. HayeS's "Molly
Stark" has been exhibited to the best ad-
vantage. The company has hauled of
for a time, and is now taking rest in

Newark paper that the company passed

soul but the telegraph operator to shout
"Rah for Hayes W-the hour being the
lively one of 10'a. m. But it is still sad
der to see the Times damning the Presi-
dent and his party with faint editorial
praise, by remarking that "People who
have grown little tired of the limpid
stream of oratory which has marked the
course of the President and certain mem
bers of his Cabinet through New England

speaker and the occasion of the speech
give a significance to commonplace ex.
