il is now constituted for it is new district
and has, Mt each of the two elections since its
reorganization, chosen a Democrat. Bat 1t ia
notorious that these were political accidents
! Colonel Willis owed his first election to the
wholesale refusal of Republicans to vote for
an unfit Republican candidate, whom The
! TRIBUNE exposed and denounced, and the
second to the fact that his opponent only en-
! tered the field a few days before the election.
| Mr.. Willis is not likely to fall upstairs third
| time. 1t is as great an absurdity for n Dem
ocrat TO represent the Xlth District III
| Congress as it was for John Morris
sey to speak for Murray Hill in the
| State Seuate-and in saying this we
have no intention of insttutiug comparisons
between Mr.. Willis and Mr.. Mouissey-and
! the voters of the District are likely to see
| it in that light at the next election. Inc
| XXXth District Monroe and Orleans Coun-
tics) which had not elected Democratic
Congressman in its whole history before, did
elect one in 1876, by reason of discussions IN
the Republican party. SO did the Niagara
District, the XXXIst, where a Republican
member was "clean thrown away" by
a dispute so fierce that it eliminated IN di-
viding the Republican vote between two can
didatcs. The Erie District, almost invariably
Republican, was also lost by few hundred
votes during the Presidential year, when there
was a Democratic ground-swcll in this State.
Every one of these districts ought to be re-
claimed. and can be. In only one OF them
was the Democratic majority at the Last elec-
ton over five hundred votes, and in that one
whore there were two Republicans in the field,
the Democratic majority was less than four
hundred The gain of these four Districts
would make a difference of eight votes III the
next House. It might mean a Republican ma
iority, and a Republican House means an
effcctual check upon a Democratic Senate,
solid bulwark against all schemes Of plumber
and reyolution-against Rebel raid upon the
Treasury, or a second Northern raid upon the
Presidency. These four Districts are worth
trying for.
1t must not be supposed that these or any
others can be gained without an effort. The
Democratic gam of Congressman in Oregon
shows that the party is III pretty good work
ing order, and the present House has backed
down from its plan OF revolution in time to
allow n good many of the drifting voters TO
forget that there ever was such scheme.
The discomfort OF the hard times, too, will be
apt to work against the Republican party with
unemployed workingmen, to whom that party
represents the Government. There must be
hard work to reclaim the House, and, above
all, there must be concord. And in no State
is this advice more pertinent than in New
York. There seems to be an organized attempt
here to provoke a quarrel Various pictur-
esque persons are walking about with chips
on their shoulders, spelling for fight Every
Republican who wants Republicans to win
should do his best to see that these mischief
makers are disappointed. There is room for
only one Republican party in this State this
year.

unless it be Purroy. For there Is probably hotn-
ing 80 well calculated to stir up the deepest
feelings of band of patriots gathered on the
Fourth of July in Fourteenth-st. to watch the
compass lest the needle vary from the Pole
star, as the announcement that there
are thieves in Liberty's Temple steal
ing the emOluments of power. We nave
no doubt that so soon as this information gets
circulated, nearly every man who Is now oc-
cupied with watching the compass will Volun-
teer to 90 into Lberty's Temple and stand
guard over the emoluments of power. we
have that degree of confidence in Mr.. SehelPs
ability to rouse the masses.
eff we remain silent and submissive" says
Mr.. Schell "t the enemy will tread beneath
"insolent feet our entire political heritage"
But he does not propose to remain silent and
submissive; at least not on the Fourth
of July. "The Society Of Tammany," he
saws, "has stood shoulder to shoulder
with the Democratic masses of the whole
Union - Sin all the conflicts Of the century"
" And so for the future she will stand. AT
cher coming festival she will dedicate
"herself anew.n Precisely what this pro-
cess of dedication is, we do not know
probably some WIkinskie and Sycamore
business-but at any rate it is fair
warning to taxpayers, and Mr.. Schell
has done the handsome thing in giving them
notice. For if Tammany Hall IL going to
dedicate itself anew to the business she has
been engaged in for the past dozen or fifteen
years, the best thing taxpayers can do is to
sell out and move away. The occasion prom
isas to no ono ofexcendin0 interest As q show
it will be worth going a great ways to see.
Few people outside Of New-York have any
idea what sort of folks we have here keeping
sleepless vigil over freedom, and watching the
compass, lest the needle vary from the Pole
star. 1t Will be great deal funnier than the
AQUARIUM.

What can the Republicans Of this State do
toward rescuing the House of Representa-
tives from the grasp of tho Democracy :
Much, if there is union and hard work, if
the quarrelers are sent to the rear. There are
at least four districts in the State now repre-
scented by Democrats which have been in the
habit of electng Republicans, and viii surely
elect Republicans to the XLYIth Congress, if
there is proper effort and a reasonable degree
Of harmony there are others whose redemp-
ton is less easy, but it can be accomplished,
and ought 70 be.
The XIth District cannot be said TO have
been in the habit of electing Republicans, as

congratulation that so little mischief mas Deen
done. With most thorough and hearty intent
TO do evil, incalculable in amount, and ailect-
ing every industry and business, this Con
gress has been unable to do much, partly be-
cause of the incapacity OF those who tired to
lead, and partly because of the patience, keen
watchfulness and superior ability OF the men
who have defended the public honor ana
welfare. Here was the vital point OF danger
To the financial and industrial interests Oh
the country this Congress might have done
and threatened to do Unreasonable INJURY
All other mischief that it has done can
be borne; let us be thankful that the
key of the battlefield has been saved,
and that recovery of industry and trade, ana
future prosperity, may now depend upon the
excrtions and thrift of the people, the great re-
sources of the country, and the ProVidentlal
goodness that gives rare harvests and large
markets, and no longer upon the doubtful
chances of daily struggle between the pubic
faith and desperate repudiatOrs. The time Tor
revival of confidence has come. The COM
merco and industry of the country, though
checked during these weary months OF trlal,
have been maintained IN surprising volume.
Nature still holds out generous promise for
the Fall. The outer world still increases its
demands for our products. With security and
confidence, we may now hope for renewed
energy of producers rcdoubled activity IN
markets, revived confidence Of capitalists, and
a steady progress toward the lOng-dclaycd
DrogperIty.

Travel on the new Elevated Railway has its hu.
morous side, like everything else. clOselypacked
car was rounding curve on Munay-st. the other
night, when the crowd of standing passengers gave
lurch and shot the hat of a comfortably seated
gentleman out of the window. As he sprang for the
door to get off at the next station a man who had
been swaying to and fro in front Of him dropped
into his seat with the unfeeling observation

mornings ago with brilliant plan for securing
comfortable and early ride down town. He took
up train to the Central Park, with the intention Of
changing there for down train, in order to securea
seat as much as possible secluded from the uncer-
tain perpendicular passengers. The train got caught
on a switch below Fifty-eighth-st., and he was
forced to remain in the for threequarters OF an
hour lie could not step out without falling into
the street. and so he sat and medisated. He
emerged from his Imprisonment an enemy Of rapid

by checking tho production of steam. The
evil might be largely reduced by making
the awnings fire-proof. This can be done by sat
urating them with solutions Of various simple
bodies. as common salt, alum or borax. Sulphate Of
ammonia would be still more effective. For perma-
nent awnings not rolled up, sihcate Of potash or
soluble glass might also be used. None of these
substances would make the awnings absolutely in
combustble, but they would prevent them from
bursting into flame, and reduce the damage from
falling sparks TO a minimum.

Easy-minded people who insist that the gen
eTal alarm about the advance along the whole
line of Rebel claimants upon the Treasury Is
a manufactured fright, and means nothing,
will please direct their attention to the vote
in the House of Representatives yesterday,
upon Mr.. Conger's proposed amendment to
the Constitution. Mr.. COnger's resolution
simply prohibited the payment Of any Rebel
claim growing out Of the late war, and its
presentation threw the Democrats of the
House into panic. The Northern Democrats
voted on the side of the North, but siTty-ORe
members voted against this straightforward
measure of protection for the Treasury. In
other words, 81 members Of the House, all Of
whom will probably be found to be Southern
Democrats, and many of whom are undoubt-
edly ex-Rebels, voted that Rebel claims ought
to be paid from the Treasury. There are
people who seem unable TO believe that Mr..
Tilden's letter on Southern claims offended
the South. VIII they believe now that the
South means what it says when it VOWS that
Rebel claims must and shall be paid

Ex-Governor Seymours address on Educa-
ton at Madison University is Il defence OF
the Common School system, as it is, equally
against those who think it is dong too much
and those who think it is doing too little.
1t was scarcely necessary to assail the theory
of a National system of education by means
of new and bloated universities. That idea is
only seriously entertained by the dislnter-
ested persons at Washington who would like
to distribute the degrees and concentrate the
salaries proposed to be conferred by those
institutions. Mr. Seymour addresses himself
mainly to that element which has been assert
ing itself of late years to a marked degree in
favor of limiting the efforts of the State to
education in the lower branches of knowl-
edge He argues from the wide diffusion Of
intelligence which the common school system
as now constituted has made, that it would
be unwise to make any change, and that it
would be dangerous to trust education in the
higher branches wholly to the law Of supply
and demand,

As might have been expected, matters Of
detail are causing greater delay at the Euro
pean Congress than important changes, such
as the independence of Bulgaria and tho ces-
sion of Kars, which war and diplomacy had
settled in advance The government Of the
new unnamed province known as Southern
Bulgaria or Roumeha, now under discussion,
is one Of those minor problems which are
beset with perpIexity. 1t might be solved
easily by allowing the people to choose
for themselves, but the Congress has
not attained that degree of lberality. Eng
land-the power most interested-tries to lib
crate the province from Russian influence, TO
maintain the nominal sovereignty of the
Porte. and give the people the same degree
of freedom that is enjoyed by her colonies
In Turkey, the conditions are such that these
objects conflict and England will find that
she cannot reconcile thcm.-The compromise adj
hitting Greece 10 representation, during the
discussion of matters affecting the Hellenic
race, is fair and polite. 1t would have been
obviously unjust to admit a Greek representa-
tive to the general deliberations while those
of Servia and Montenegro were excluded.
The Iowa Republicans could not easily have
passed the President by with more COnspic-
uous disapprobation. All mention of him is
carefully excluded from their platform, even
in it's references to the controversy over
his title, in which the illusions to
the Office itself are strictly imperSOnal
The only knowledge of the existence
of Mr.. Hayes which the platform betrays is in
a keen thrust at his Southern speeches last
wear, in which the Convention declares that
the civil war was not ga mere trial of
"phydcal force between Greeks" The
course of his Administration is most
severely criticized, but only by imDlica-
ton, the Convention declaring that the loss of
five Southern States to the Democracy has
followed upon Democratic intimidation and
failure to enforce the principles of the Repub
lican party, and denOuncing the attempt to
restrict citizens in the exercise of their pOliti-
cal rights. The Convention also cheered
Justify for Grant. 1t couldn't cheer for Hayes,
under the circumstances, and it had 10 cheer
for somebody But by a coincidence, it seems
to be General Grant that conventions of Western
Republicans find it most handy to cheer for
nowadays.

General Sherman is distinguishing himself
nowadays by the making Of good speeches,

his early labOrs.

Governor FentOn's name as a delegate to the
Monetary Conference was overturned, and the
nomination confirmed. That rejection was
creditabe to no one but to Mr.. FentOn, and IT
was, in the highest sense, a compliment to
him, because it showed the bitter hos
tlity of the silver men to man
who fairly represented the State OF New
York and the good sense of the country
on the silver question. 1t was, however, IN
no particular personal reflection upon MS
character and the Senate was careful TO
have it so understood. 1t was long ago evil
dent that on any mere political issue ex-Goy-
ernOr Fenton's confirmation would have been
certain. and now thanks to Mr.. COnkmg'
the Senate has been saved from the mistake
of rejecting, in this matter, a representative
of the better sentiment Of the Nation.
Congress Gran emptnsr the last day. and
did little that was of public interest The
time of both houses was mainly consumed IN
adjusting their differences on the Suudry Civil
Appropriation bill, and little else was accom-
plished. There was great deal of lobbying
and quauelling, much disorder aud confusion,
and few votes of public Importance. The
Brazilian mail subsidy, the Senate's revival
of the Thanking privilege, and the
proposed regulations respecting class
fled mail matter, have failed. There
were two votes on currency questions, IN one
of which General Ewing, who once held the
House Of Representatives in the hollow OF his
hand, was actually voted down. This IS q
good sign. But, happily, the country Is
relieved for the present from the painful
necessity of watching this Congress, in the
anxious hope that it will show good signs, and
may not turn out so bad after all, etc, etc.
Congress has gone-and a good radiance it is.
