State delegations in the next Congress. But
the greenback people, who have the adj
vantage over both republicans and demo-
Gratis at this time that they have distinct
policy and believe in it, disturb the problem.
Suppose, for instance, that the repub-
licans should nominate General Grant,
which is by no means impossible, and place
him on hard money platform. which
they would probably do The West
ern and part of the Southern democrats
would probably nominate Senator Thur
man or Mr. Hendricks on a green
back and imitation platform but the East
ern and part of the Southern democrats
could not agree to this. Neither could they
support General Grant; and they would
probably nominate hard money cam
didate Of their own, hoping, with
reason, that if their candidate was q
statesman held in general esteem-such
q man as Senator Bayard, for instance
he would draw off from the republicans all
that large part of that party which would not
support General Grant, and which yet would
not vote for n greenback democrat. Is it
too much to say that with three such candi-
dates in the field the election might easily
go to the House? And coming there with
such men as candidates and with parties
disorganized; with republican greenback-
ers lukewarm toward Grant and demo-
cratic hard money men opposed to Thur
man or Hendricks and equally opposed
to Grant, who can foretell what would be
the result of the vote?
Suppose the democrats sure, by standing
together, of defeating Grant, as they would
be on the probabilities Of the fall canvass,
it is probable that the democratic hard
money men would appeal to republican
hard money men to unite with them in
defeating the greenback democrat And as
of defeat in the House, it is not easy to see
why the republican hard money men should
not unite with democrats Of like faith to
elect the democratic hard money candidate
rather than, by holding to Grant, suffer the
election of the greenback democrat.
We present this problem as at least one
of the possibilities of 1880. The Maine
republicans have just led off on that side
with hard money platform; the Western
democrats are committing themselves to in
fation. Unless the hard money men of
both parties at the next session of Con-
gress should unite and force the cancella-
ton of greenbacks as fast as they are re-
deemed, the greenback issue will take a
conspicuous place in the canvass Of 1880;
and if it does three candidates will, in all
probability, take the field.

The Vote i'm Germ q ny.

From the indications thus far received Of
the results of the election in Germany it
may be assumed as certain that no mistake
was made in the dissolution of the last Par
lament, and that the new body will do SUBJ
stantially what the government will request
against the socialists, though perhaps not
precisely in the way the government would
like to have it done. Though they have
polled large vote in their strongholds the
socialists have certainly lost u number of
seats, and the national liberals have gained
some of these, while the conservatives have
also gained some, and apparently the larger
part. In addition to what the government
has gained in direct support it is sure Of the
assistance, at least for this specific purpose,
of the ultramontane party. That is the OBJ
ject, we may be sure, of the negotiations now
on foot between the German Chancellor and
the representative of the Vatican at Kissin-
gen, and the Chancellor is O man who pur-
sues his aims in too resolute spirit to per-
NIT such q negotiation to fail when any
ground Of agreement is attainable. With
an increased conservative vote, with the
ultramoDtane vote FOR the time, and the
vote Of one other small faction-the impe-
rialists who are sure for this occasion, the
government will be in a position to be if
not absolutely independent of the national
liberals at least SO near to the capacity to
do without them that they will modify the
conditions on which they are disposed to
assist it.

The murder of Policeman Smith in Jer-
sey City is very mysterious as we'll as q
most revolving crime. 1t seems almost in
credible that man could have met with
such q violent death--that his skull could
have been beaten in and dozen stabs in
ficted upon him, while his wife lay all the
time undisturbed by his side. The suppo-
sition, of course, is that the woman was
rendered insensible by chloroform before
the murder was committed; but would the
murderer have been likely to risk disturbing
his victim by first administering chloroform
to the woman lying by his side? 1t is evil
dent that the murdered man was not chlor-
oformed first, as the position of the body
shows that he must have attempted to
spring from the bed when first attacked.
The weapons used were procured in the
house and discovered subsequently con-
cealed in closet. 1t is possible that the
story told by the woman may be true; but
she was very properly placed under arrest.
and it is to be hoped that the truth will be
brought to light and the guilty parties made
to pay the penalty of their horrible crime.
