The presidential frauds of 1861 will
prove fruitful theme for discussion, du.
ring the present session of Congress. Be
sides the testimony already taken by the
Potter investigating committee, the cyphel
telegrams are also to be investigated, and
testimony of Samuel J. Tildcn, Peitony
Tildens nephew, Manton Marble and edi-
tors of the New York Tribune is to be
taken. The result Of it all can have no
other effect than to furnish electioneeFipg
documents for the campaign of 1880, as
Tilden, if at all connected with the cy-
pher kilograms, which is not probable, is
beyond the reach of law, and is merely a
private citizen, and Congress has long ago
decided that Hayes viii not be disturbed
IN bis occupancy of the White House.

upon and Congress is asked to pass more
efficient laws for the prevention of abuses.
The cause of education has materially
progressed, and the Presidents former re-
commentator that Congress enact appro-
pirate measures for the purpose of supple
menting, with national aid, local systems
of education in the several States, is re-
moved

AS predicted by the ADVOCATE last
week, contrary to the general reports from
Washington, the present session promises
to be a stormy one. Jim Blaine, of
Maine, has set the ball in motion in the
Senate, by introducing a resolution pvovid-
ing for investigation into State elections,
and Fernando Wood, of New York, has
started the subject in the House, by char
actcrizing the Presidents allusion to cleo
ton disturbances in the South as partisan
and unfair, as proofs of interferences and
intimidation in New York were at hand.
Mr. Wood might have added Massachu-
sets and Pennsylvania to New York.
The financial question, it is likely, will
also be warmly discussed, and upon the
whole We believe that both parties will
devote more time Cor at least will have for
their primary object) to preparing for the
next Presidential contest than to devising
just and necessary laws.

Notwithstanding all the newspaper talk
about the "Man on Horseback" the
"Sphynx," etc., Blaine, Conkling, or the
Great Unknown, is more likely to be the
Republican candidate for the Presidency
in 1880 than Grant We should be graft
fled. if the Democratic party could have
one more chance at this man. His auda-
cious attempt against the liberties of the
people by calling the soldiers around the
capitol in the last days of his administra-
ton, has received no adequate rebuke at
their hands, for the want of an opportuni-
ty. Should he be candidate again, that
opportunity would be presented, and the
scorn his conduct merited might and would
be expressed. at the polls. We are for
Grant as the next Republican candidate
against all his competitors, for the reason
that we believe his defeat would be so sig
nal and emphatic as to be a warning
against any attempt by President to play
the tyrant hereafter.

Samuel j. Randall has many supporters
as the next democratic candidate for the
Presidency. Mr.. Randall is believed to
possess some of the old Jacksonian spirit
and magnetism, so requisite in these days
in political leader. Had he been in Mr..
Tilden's place, in 1877, he would, to-day,
be the President. The fraud of the Presi-
dency would never have been successful.
He would have inspired his supporters to
stand for their rights, which Mr.. Tilden
did not do, although the rank and file OF
the party were prepared to do SO. 1t was
the prominent men in Congaess who showed
the white feather and adopted the uncon-
stitutional and cowardly expedient of an
eight by seven commission to consummate
the outrage upon the right of the ballot.
They were alarmed at the cry that they
were about to Mexicanize the government,
when the Republican party had Mexican
lied it already. The Democratic party
and its leaders in Congress will cut rather
a sorry figure in history, when these &C.
currences come to be reviewed in the light
of sober reason in the future.

Murderous edies.

General Butler, who recently captured
the seat of democratic convention in
Massachusetts, once endeavored TO capture
a somewhat stronger place in another State
by the brilliant method of concussion. He
had the Chinese theory that the really terri
BILE thing in war is noise, and that the party
that makes the most noise in any given col
lision assuredly wins 1t was theory
somewhat related to his political expert
ences, and so not altogether unnatural in
him. From war to medicine is but one
step, and now this theory of concussion
has been suddenly imported into medical
science. 1t is proposed to end in that way
the prevalence Of yellow fever in. the in
fected districts Of the South. 1t is An imi-
tation of the plan of the doctor who
always gave his patients something to
give them fits, and then cured the
fits; but it appears to emanate from
some one who cannot even cure the fits.
Conclusion will have about as much effect
on yellow fever germs as it had upon the
walls of Fort Fisher so far as its dispersion
or destruction Of such germs is concerned;
but it will have q greater effect in another
sense. One of the things that the explosion
Of any considerable quantity of gunpowder
can certainly accomplish is to make such
actions and reactions in the atmosphere as
to disturb an existing equilibrium and pro-
duce rain. Extensive experiences in war
prove that. What the concussion may ac-
complish, then, is to give the fever cities
rainy weather; and no worse fate can hap
pen them than to have copious rains. 1t is
the one thing that aggravates their condi-
tion more than any other. Heat and humid
weather are the elements on which the pes
tilance thriYes.

The CANADIAN Elections.

The opposition party, led by Sir John
Macdonald, has won a complete and signal
triumph in the election of members of the
Dominion Parliament. 1t is a political
revolution, and the Mackenzie government
will be forced to retire, since 1T
no longer possesses the confidence
of the country 1t is supposed that
the Mackenzie Ministry will Immediately
resign and that Sir John Macdonald will be
invited to form a new government The de-
feat Of the liberal party has been SO deci-
sive, so overwhelming. so surprising, that
both in Canada and out of Canada there
will be a lively interest in the affairs OF the
Dominion until the new government is or
ganized and settled.
So far as the United States are concerned
the change is likely to prove adverse to our
interests Sir John Macdonald, the conser-
vative leader who has achieved this great
triumph, is an ardent and vigorous protec-
ZIONIST, and the new Parliament which he
is to lead will pass laws hostile to the trade
of this country. Our productions will be
excluded from the Canadian markets by q
high tariff, with view to build up Canadian
manufactures. The chances of zollverein,
and even of new reciprocity treaty. are
diminished by this great revolution in
Canadian politics.

The Murder af Mary Stannard.

II the Rev. Mr.. Hayden is innocent OF the
murder of the young girl, Mary stannard,
he is one of the most unfortunate of men.
The revelations at the trial from day to day
all go to build up against him one OF the
strongest cases of circumstantial evidence
that has been presented for many years in
court. In the first place there is the testl-
mony Of the half sister of the deceased
that on the evening when she was
found murdered she had declared that
she was TO meet by appointment
the Rev. Mr.. Hayden. Then there are
her admissions to the same half sister of
her criminal intimacy with the accused
clergyman and the blood stains upon
his pocket knife. This is strong and
is not all. In the despatch Of our
correspondent this morning letter written
by the murdered woman four days before
her death is printed, which forges another
link against the accused pastor. This
letter has been referred to in the
trial, and at the proper time will
be made part Of the record. In it the
unhappy woman mentions her sorrow and
shame and requests her half sister to deliver
a note enclosed in it to the Rev. Mr. Hayden.
This was on the 30th of August. She was
murdered on the Sd of September. This
letter proves conclusively that the most in
innate relations existed between them-re-
lations which do not usually exist between
clergymen and the female members Of their
congregations Mr.. Hayden may be inno-
cent, but the weight OF evidence is thus far
all against the theory that he is not the
murderer of Mary Stannard
The New York herald., 1878-09-19
A Message OF Peace.

1t will be seen by despatch in another
column this morning that Mr.. Tilden
denies the truth of several interesting
rumors which are at present disturbing
the equanimity of large number OF the
democratic politicians of the city and
State. In the first place, he declares that
he has no designs upon the coming State
Convention and does not intend to inter-
fere with it in any way. Next, he assures all
whom it may concern that the only knowl-
edge he has of the movement against the
Sheriff, the Register and the County Clerk
has been acquired from the newspapers ;
but if these officers are guilty Of violation
of the law he has no hesitation in saying
that they ought to be removed from office
This is the first time in many months that
we have heard from Mr.. Tilden upon State
and city political questions, and although
what he says is not of very great Importance
it will be welcomed as the evidence that
Louisiana, Florida and Oregon have not
crowded us altogether out of his recol-
lection.
