Mr.. Tilden Again.

We print short letter from Mr. Manton
Marble replying to some statements con-
cerning him by the chairman of the Demo
cratic State Committee. which appeared in
our columns. The merely personal and his
torical parts of Mr. Marbles communication
call for no comment, but the final paragraph
is very significant, considering that It is
written by one of Mr. Tiden's intimate
friends. Mr.. Marble might as we'll have
said, in plain words, that Governor Tilden
expects to be che democratic candidate again
in 1880. He speaks of "a portentous event.
which has not only determined "the one SUI
preme issue" of the next Presidential contest
for.the democratic party, but 'its choice Of
candidates as WE'LL" The one supreme issue
here alluded to is, of course, the alleged
frauds in the last election, and the pre-
determined candidates who are to represent
that issue are Messrs. Tilden and Hendricks,
or at least Mr.. Tilden and some name whose
owner will consent to have it stand second.
1t is perfectly Legitimate for Mr.. Tilden to
desire a second nomination. 1t is q more
manly method of seeking redress than by
attempting to upset what has already been
done. We do not know that Mr.. Tilden is
giving underhand encouragement to such
patriots as Mr.. Montgomery Blair. but he
would be strengthened by publicly disavow-
ing any Wish or purpose to disturb the present
occupant of the White House. Peace, order
and prosperity are more important to the
country than the redress Of any mans
wrongs or the qualification Of any mans
ambition. If Mr.. Tilden subordinates his
personal grievances to the public tranquil
lity it is possible that the people may elect
him in 1880 by a majority SO triumphant as
to admit of no question. But if he has such
hopes let him call off and chain up his dogs
who are barking at Mr.. Hayes.

Mlontg omery Blair's Me m orr nj.

If Mr.. Blair succeeds in getting his me-
mortal adopted by the Maryland Legisla-
ture it will be his first success of any kind
since he was forced out Of President Lin
coins Cabinet Everything he takes hold
of seems to wither in his hands. Last win
ter he tried to make himself conspicuous by
starting democratic newspaper in Wash-
ington. which went dead against the Eleo-
toral Commission, dead against acceptance
of its decision. dead against submission
to President Hayes Inauguration hut Mr..
Blair had no influence even with the ex-
treme democrats We shall know in few
days whether he stands any better with the
Legislature of his own State Even if this
memorial should be sent to Congress Mr..
Blair must have great deal more influence
with members than he had last winter if he
can secure for it a respectful consideration.

uary, 1878. Canal Commissioner ought
to have been elected in his place last No
vembe-, and 1t was clearly an error to decide
otherwise The failure to cleo: has created
vacancy just the same as il successor to
Mr.. Thayer had been elected last November
and died before the first of this month. 1t
is not only within the power. but it is made
the duty of the Legislature to ill the exist
ing vacancy. Next November, in case Of
the failure of the appointment and qualif-
cation Of a Superintendent of Public Works
during this Legislative session. q Canal
Commissioner will be elected to take the
place of the one now to be appointed-a
fact which proves that the failure to pro-
vide for the election Of Mr.. Thayer's sue
cessor last November was legal blunder.
As two Canal Commissioners out of the
three are still in Office. however. no harm
has been done blythe errorsand there is no
reason why the Legislature should be in
undue haste to fiji the vacancy caused by
the expiration of Mr.. Thayer's term.

lie is thoroughly well done, and his death,
however morally deplorable. is not a
calamity in any other sense. All the ma
chinery of the administration of govern
ment will move on the same as
in his life, and his son, Prince Hum
bert, will ascend tho throne without dis
pute or trouble. II is deemed possible
that there may be some change in the rela-
tons of the government toward the Church
through the fact that the new sovereign
having been bred in different times, has de-
cidedly different ideas from those enter
tanned by his father of the extent to which
n sovereign should assert his supremacy
as against prince who disputes
his title within his own diminions.
Ground for this belief may have
been supplied by the conversation
of Prince Humbert when he was only heir
apparent; but man in view of throne
and man on that same throne are an
imated by different conceptions Of the royal
dignity, and we have no doubt the impulses
Of the new ruler will be moderated to the
tone supplied by the example of the late
sovereign. 1t is so evidently the policy Of
the Italian government to avoid any un-
seemly demonst rations toward the Church,
and it is so certain of its position if it sim
ply drifts on with events as it has done hith-
erto, that the new sovereign can scarcely fail
to pursue generous and considerate course
in this respect.

THE WEATuEK.--The movement of tie area Of
direction, and its centre has now passed away
into the Atlantic Ocean over New Brunswick
and Newfoundland. The depression in the
Northwest to which we drew attention on Tues
day and yesterday, has moved to the region Of
the upper lakes where the lowest pressure il
now central. The barometer however, has
fallen quite low through the Mississippi Valley
toward the Gulf, with decided rise Of tcmpera
t,lre and rains and snow in the lake region and
Northwest. The movement of the high area
would seem to have created a deep pocket be-
hind it into which the low barometer has moved,
and there is now some probability that a storm
may bc developed during to-day over the lakes
The rapid rise OF tho barometer to the westward
Of the depression will favor the organization Of

dications are that tho depression which was

The Street Cleaning bureaus Men
ina Buckranl

ina Buckram.
The secret history OF the grossest official
outrages that have been perpetrated at the
expense of the city of New York is not with
out its comic features. Indeed, many of
the crimes that have loaded this city with
its enormous burden of debt have been al
most condoned by public opinion because
they have been so ridicuiously scandalous,
SO out Of the common in their villany as to
excite as much amusement as indignation.
A glance over the list of salaried
employees Of the Street Cleaning Bu-
reau, which we print in full this
morning, will furnish all the evidence nee
essary to prove that if the street cleaning
authorities do not possess either the ability
or honest inclination to perform their func-
tions they are, nevertheless, eminently
qualified to practise the most excruciating
practical jokes on the citizens of New York.
In selecting their foremen and gangmen to
superintend the cleaning of the streets these
fun-loving officials seem to have taxed them
selves severely to organize corps Of as
sistants on the simple basis Of the comic
We find, for instance, that in the First ward
their foreman is furrier and the gangman
a calker. We freely admit that in what
police nomenclature terms "skin game
such game as the alleged street cleaners
play on the city-a furrier might be adj
vantageously employed as an expert but
we are at loss to know what services q
''calker" could render his employers, un-
less that his familiarity with oakum might
enable him to instruct the chief officials in
the secrets Of its manufacture, and thus
save them much mental labor in the future,
should their energies be directed to the dis
organization Of pieces of old rope. To add
to the efficiency Of the street cleaning SER
vice we find that speculator, baker, q
pocketbook maker, grainer, cigarmaker,
o coal dealer liquor store keeper, feed
store proprietor, marble polisher, livery
stable man and barber-no doubt an emf
nent shampooist-are among the employees
selected to direct the work. Besides these
there are masons, clerks, machinists,
firemen, contractors, watchmen, stevedores,
q printer, an ice dealer, wireworker and
teacher engaged for the sake Of their valu-
able services. A further variety embraces
q marble cutter, pattern maker, a sur
veyor, cellar digger, a cabinetmaker and
two mineral water manufacturers. Surely
these remarkable selections serve to show
how broad is the view taken by the Street
Cleaning Bureau officials of the necessities of
New York. In little while we have no
doubt that the bureau will employs corps of
miners to dig down to the original level of
the streets of the city through the noun
famous accumulations of filth that will
cover them. In this case it will be quite in
keeping with the present plan to have the
operations supervised by qualified dentists,
photographers and jewellers.

The New Hampshire Republicmns-
President Hayes Squarely Endorsed.


Unusual interest and curiosity have been
felt as to what the Republican State Conven-
ton would do this year in New Hampshire
in consequence OF the flaming denuncin-
tions which have been scattered broadcast
over that State and over the whole country
by William E. Chandler. The Convention
has been held, and Chandler's reverberat-
ing guns have done a great deal more execu-
ton at the breech than at the muzzle. His
secret accomplices will now drop and dis
claim him, and even bold Ben But
ler will shrink from Offering his
proposed resolutions in the House.
Chandler has been SO signally repudiated
and Ii humilated ut home that nobody will
be in any hurry to espouse his cause in
Washington. In the stormy caucus held
Tuesday evening Chandler was pitched into
right and left by the most distinguished
republicans Of the State. He got such q
formidable thrashing that there was little Of
him or his faction left in the Convention
yesterday.
If the resolutions had been prepared by
Mr. Evarts or Mr. Schurz they would not
have indorsed the policy of President Hayes
with more judicious emphasis, and these
resolutions were adopted by the Convention
without dissenting voice. The only point
on which they were criticised at all was
their omission to condemn the republican
as we'll as the democratic repudiationists.
Our correspondent states that the temper OF
the Convention was not enthusiastic nor

almost endless variety of Samples from

He has adopted Wanamaker's rule of
guaranteeing satisfaction; and every gar
ment must be to the mind of the purchas-

like his ready-made trade, decided sue
