Mr.. Montgomery Blair has the reputation Of
being about he most impractcable politician in
the United States, and it is Mr.. Montgomery
Blair who now demands that Congress shall
adopt the necessary legislation to allow the
validity of President Hayes tile to be
tested in the courts. When the grounds
on which he bases his memorial are
seen, it becomes matter OF surprise that it
should have occaSiOpcd Il sensation, even in the
MARYLAND Legislature. 1t declares the returns
which made Mr. Hayes President to he fraud
uient. and insists that this il proved by his
"repudiation of these returns for all purposes,
"save his own election" But the bulk
of the memorial is taken up with the motives
of Mr. Hayes and John Young Brown
Of course our readers know what is coming
the old, old story of bargain with the
Southern members Of the House, garnshcd
with a new insinuatiOn or two. The PIcsi-
"dcnt elect "-mcaning Mr.. Tildcn--was op-
posed TO the Texas and Pacific scheme, and
Mr. Brown and his associates were, therefore,
anxious to keep him out OF the Office, but
could not ailord 10 do 80. il his exclusion
meant also thc surrender OF the State govern
mems OF Louisiana and South Carolina
to the Republicans. There is much more
matter which is worthy Of even less attention.
Mr. Blair charges that the Presidential Qucs-
ton was decided in favor of railroad corpora
ton, and even drags INTO this statement of
reasons why Mr.. Hayes was not entitled 10 his
Office, a dcnuncation Of his relations to par
ties since he took it! Mr.. Dlair's pronuncia-
mento will make good fodder for Democratic
editors, but as a document having any legal
bearing it is beneath consideration.

Up to the hour Of gong to press, we have
received no details of the extent to which
General Butler celebrated the anniversary OF
the Battle Of New Orleans. And yet it was q
"good old Democratic holiday"
The Servians have paid the penalty Of at
tempting too much. and there might be serious
danger Of q Turkish invasion were not the
Russians so near them at Sophia The pres
ence of q Russian force at that city viii be
found to ncutralizc the effect of any successes
which the Ottoman commanders may attain
near the southeastern frontier Of the Princi
pality.
Virginia begins more VirtuOusy titan Ten
nessee. The latter State at no time offered 20
pay more than 60 per cent OF its debts, and
quickly repeated OF that offer when 1t thong
there was chance to get off with less. The
Mother Of Presidents starts off with an
offer to pay twO-;hrds--or six-andtwo-tirGs
per cent more than Tennessee. This is dOIbt-
less concession to what Governor Kcmpcr
proudly called the traditional reputation OF
"Eirg,nia."
Tompllins Square has witnessed another
Communis, failure. A call for meeting brings
together only two or three hundred men and
boys, and the gathering holds together only Il
quarter OF an hour. Then the leaders of different
wings in this wsetched faction proceed to
call each other names in private. Such a
thing as a New-YOIk Commune does not exist,
and cannot be created by even the most ac-
tive and most depraved OF the Tompkins
Square party. The mere fact is no mean tes-
tlmonial to the character Of the people of all
classes.
There is Il prospect that the next Legislature
of this State may sit in the New Capitol. We
hasten to make the announcement az there
may be many would-be members throughout the
State who would consider this valuable priv
ilege. The Commissioners plea for larger ap-
preparation so that the building may be speedily
prepared for occupancy is reinforced by Con-
troller Olcott, who shows that by applying the
surplus balances in the Treasury TO the work, all
the money necessary for the next two years
will be furnished without taxation. Inasmuch
as so large an amount has already been spent
on this building it would undoubtedly be a
wise economy to give the State the benefit of
its expenditure at as>early day as possible

immigration had reached its lowest point. but

At East the dominion has passed completely
from the Republican party in Ncw-Jciscy.
Yesterday Legislature Of Democrats, of no
lower grade perhaps than the ordinary run OF
iourneyman lawmakers, organized itself ia
Trenton for labor and liz rewards. The Senate
appears TO be crcditably Offered but
no system Of artificial selection known to civil
lied man will justify the Assembly i'll making
a Speaker out of the Hon. John Egan. or thc
twin Democratic factions in the state, which
seem to hate each other as cordially rs the
sons Of a deceased millionaire, one gained
Il signal victory in the nomination of General
Mcclellan, and the other now rctaliates by
capturing the entire Legislative machinery.
General Mcclellan owes nothing to the leaders
of either House, and the leaders owe nothing
to General Mcclellan. As a result. the new
Governor will be at liberty to abandon
himself to career OF independent
reform, and during the next three years he
may be able to pile uD reputation for cX-
ecutive ability which will prove desirable
accumulation of capital for the campaign of
1850.

Speedy conviction has followed short trial
in the case of MIR. Wetmorc, Nice-President OF

he has not tried to throw obstacles in the way
of his convictions in fact his acceptance OF the
verdict az, DIS q striking contrast to the recent
grotcsquc spectacle of opposition to the judge
Jury and law which DR.. Lambert has pre-
scnted The charge Of conspiracy is one OF
the easiest to make in our courts, but usually
one Of the most difficult to prove, except
through admissions OF those concerned. The
guilt of the prisoner i'll making false
statements as to the condition of the company
was so evident that no attempt appears TO
have been made to deny it. The case Is OF
special interest, since other important suits
against the officers Of broken life Insurance
companies arc also based on the charge OF con-
spiacy.

Much satisfactory knowledge as to the life
and works of tie Rocky Mountain locust has
been attained by the United States Ento-
mological Commission. The birthplace of
the insect is the Snake River Valley, in
the Rocky Mountains No great danger OF nu-
merous swarms from there is to be apprehended
during the present year The weather has not
agreed with the locusts in their mountain
home, and very few come from any other
locality. The range of this particular
hopper though very wide, is somewhat
restricted at the West, as it does not
Jump over the Sierra Nevada or Cascade
Ranges. In addition to these reassuring facts.
the chronological Commission consider that
nsn has gained some advantage over the III
sect by new modes OF warfare. The next
great Spring campaign of the lonG-leggcd X.

the report of Secretary jackson, for the Com
miss:oners of Emigration discloses still
greater falling off during the past year
than during the year before. The imml-
grafton during 1877 was 1900 less
than in 1876, and in 1876. $4,000 less
than in 1875; in 1875, it was $4,000 less
than in 1874. IN the past twelve years the
influx of foreigners reached its highest point
in 1872, its lowest point last year; IN the
first named year the total number of arrivals
was 100000, in the last named it was $1,000.
These figures tell the story of sudden and
terrible decline in a most fruitful source of
National wealth.
We think it is safe to say that the danger
of further discussions III the Republican
party, by reason OF fresh efforts to turn
out the present New-YOrk Custom House
officers without charges and against the
strong expression of the Senate, has passed
away. If there is to he further trouble on
this subject, it is not likely to originate with
the President or the Administration. COnscien-
tious Republicans who believe it the chief duty OF
the hour to maintain the power of the Repub-
Ii, an party intact as the most efficient means
for protecting the National credit and the
National Treasury, will see to it that
any other person using this question to dis
turb the harmony of the party shall be held
TO rigid responsibility.
