After the scrimmage.

| The labor greenbaek convention at Syra-
cuse was little better than continuous
row. The promiscuous assemblage finally
organized, and secured the semblance of
order by turning all the New York deleea-
tons out of doors. A platform composed
| in equal parts of common sense and
crazes was adopted, and an old hack poll
tician was nominated for Judge in the
highest court In the state. Before the
meeting OF the convention the new move
ment was formidable 1t represented a
general and profound discomfort 1t was
supposed to have strong backing of in-
| telligent citizens and leaders who would
| show qualities commanding respect But
| tie convention was composed for the most
part OF old politicians, many of them pro-
fessionals who have NO standing whatever
IN either of the old parties, which they
assail 10 loudest terms for valid reasons.
Instead of the honest, hard handed sons of
toll, the Intelligent yeomanry of the couu
Try, the staiwart wage-earneTs who want
work but can 6nd nothing to do and pro-
pose to reform the evils which impoverisb
them, motley crowd of recognized pollti-
cal bummers. and strikers. and wire
puliers, and office seekers spring up into
public notice and fill the air with their
vociferations. The result is Just what
might be expected. The public are dis
appointed, if not disguised. Stock in the
new party has dropped below quotation
marks. The whole movement has shrunk
sixty per cent. in public estimation. Peo-
pie see that they can expect no relief from
such crowd, and refuse to follow Its lead.
1t was great mistake to set the repre-
sentatiyes of the new party up on exhibi-
ton, but now the menagerie has been
seen, all further interest 10 its monkeys
and foxes and jackals and rhinocerous and
trained jackass and talking chimpanzee
has collapsed. The real friends of the
workingDen of the country will now see
that they must look to the democratic
rarty for relief, and they will not look to
it in vain.--Neeo York Observer

COLUMBUS, Ohio, July 24.-It was vel
known that Hayes, upon leaving Wash.
ington to attend the Soldiers Convention
at Newark. Ohio. on Monday last, had
planned a Western trip as far as Minnesota
and the sudden change in his programme
has excited much comment. From per
sonai friend of his / learn that he was
so greatly chagrined at his cool reception
here and at Newark that in utter discour-
agement he returned to the bosom of his
family at the Soldiers Home, &
Upon his arrival at the Columbus depot,
en- route from Washington, with the mighty
Devens at his elbow. Hayes looked visit
fully from the car window, expecting to see
welcoming throng, and wondering greatly
that no tumuituous brass band or exulling
cannon heralded his approach "a.
What he did see was a solemn and
spiritless company of hundred or less,
mostly personal retainers and relations,
who hurried him into carriage to rest,
undsturbed by enthusiastic callers, al the
house of brother-in-law.
On Sunday he went 30 the Broadway
Methodist church, where the minister took
the opportunity OF putting In a plea for
the eolored man and brother, following the
theme of the Freedmen's Bureau, in which
he was particularly severe on the man and
policy who had consigned the negro to his
present fate.
At the Soldiers Reunion no enthusiasm
greeted Hayes's presence. The cheers
when he arose were of the politely gepteel
sort, quite unlike the soldlerly huzzas that
welcomed Gen. Sherman and a host OF
minor officers present.

Hayes was doubtless wise in returning TO

and still the taxes can be reduced
only one mill for general purposes.
With this view of the question,
which is purely an economic and f
nancial one, | am inclined to the be-
lief that the Legislature would act
wisely if it did not engage in legisla
ton, except so far as it is absolutely
necessary for the general welfare of
the State, call conventson, and ad
journ. The time of election of the
delegates and the meeting of the con
vention is a question that should be
thoroughly discussed. Judging from
the present financial condition of the
State, the present limit of taxation
would have to be largely increased
next year to pay the expenses Of leg
islation, holding elections and print
ing the meeting of body, that would
cost as much as a session Of the gen-
cral assembly. Would it not he less
expensive, if we are to have it, to or
der the election of delegates iu No
vember, 1879, and let the convention
assemble in January, 1880, instead
of the Legislature, and submit the
Constitution for ratification, and the
election Of officers of the general
election of 1892 If the pledge
made by the Democratic Party at
Baton Rouge, in their platform, is to
be carried out, the present State Off
GERS will be undisturbed until their
terms expire. And if the other
pledge of the party, to maintain the
integrity of the State debt as it now
is, is adhered to, where, oh! where is
the relief to come from? Either par
ty pledges are to be forfeited or tax
alton is to remain almost at its pres
ent limitp am afraid the members
of this Legislature, like their prede
cessors, will occupy thankless pr
sition, as too much will be expected
of item. Wise and Jeffries knew
this, hence their great reluctance in
accepting the nomination. Let US
be slow to perform judgment.

we never knew the Democratic

of carrying the Presidential election

the majority of States and a large

EDITOR DEMOCRAT
A pretty quarrel is going on be-
tween the Interior Department and
certain Army Officers. The Indian
policy of the Government, as every
reading man in the world knows, is a
bloody and costly failure, and the
present controversy grows out of an
attempt to fix the responsibility for
that failure on the two branches of
Government connected with the car
rying ont of that policy. Our Cana
dian neighbors manage their Indians
with little expense and no bloodshed :.
There will be q most earnest discus,
sion this winter, in Congress, over
the proposed transfer of the Indian
Bureau to the War Department. 1t
would seem plain that a divided re-
sponsibility like that now existing
would lead to extravaganza, if not to
all other evils incident to the present
system. I believe the transfer will
be made, if not at the coming session,
then at the succeeding one.
There is story in the Radical
: papers that Mr.. Potter's Committee
will examine into the noted "cipher
dispatches and examine Messrs.
Tilden, Peltoa, Coyle and others,
with view to "heading OFF, the Sen
ate in such an investigation. /
don't think either of the parties will
Investigate" those dispatches much.
1t is well understood that they have
done all the mischief they are capa.
BILE of doing.
The celebrated suit of the Lee
heirs for the possession of the Ar
liugton estate will come up next week
in the United States Circuit Court at
Alexandria. In form the suit is
against q Government officer in
charge of the property, but the case
will be tried on it's merits, the Court
having overruled technical objections
raised by counsel for the United
States. AS is well known, the estate
includes very large "Na'ional Gem
etery, in which are buried many thou
sands of Federal troops, and to this
and to the fact that the place was the
house of Colonel Lee, afterwards
General Robert E. Lee of the Con.
federate Army, is due much of the
interest felt in this case.
Very few people North or South
will regret the reelection of General
Gordon to the Senate from Georgia.
The General has friends among all
parties and from all sections, and
has great influence in the Senate
when he speaks for his section. The
State Of Georgia could not have done
better.
The sailor who reported here fol
duty few days since, alleging that
he Has a survivor of the wrecked
Huron, has disappeared. He said
that he foated on the water for TWEEN
ty-four hours after the Huron wen,
to pieces, and was finally picked ri
and carried to Norway, from which
country he returned to serve out his
term of enlistment 10 the Navy. HI
was an impostor, but he thoroughly
deceived the Secretary of the Navy
and at least one survivor Of the HUI
ron disaster professed to recognize
him. He did not succeed in getting
the several hundred dollars due Il
