tionable, and to create . vacancy to be filed
by the appointment of Mr.. Green, would be
such an unscrupulous exertion of mere
power in contravention of right as would
make the whole term of Mr.. Cooper, if he
should be elected, period of turbulence
and confusion in the city govern
ment. Such municipal coup d<tat
would make the Mayoralty an instrument
of the ambition and revenge of Messrs.
Tilden and Robinson, and would sacrifice
the interests of the city to the political
hopes of Mr.. Cooper's democratic hackers.
We call upon Mr.. Cooper to disavow such
mischievous designs as are imputed to him
by his only democratic supporter in the
press of the city. Governor Robinson
wishes to be candidate for re-election and
Mr.. Kelly stands in his way as the chief
obstacle. But we should be sorry to think
that Governor Robinson would enter into
such conspiracy with Mr.. Tilden and the
anti -Tammany candidate for Mayor as is
implied in the remarkable threat to which
we have called attention.

Tammany's Ratification Meeting.

The Tammany wigwam last evening was
ablaze with all the glory of Chinese lamps
and campaign oratory. The fierce democ-
racy werc there to overfowing, and the
surplus sufiiced to render the scenes out
sido the hall as exhilarating as any old
time democrat could desire. In token that
this was the home Of the REGULARS" Sena-
tor Herman, Lieutenant Governor DORIS
heimcr and Ernstus Brooks were gathered
on the platform around Mr. John Kelly.
To be sure Mr.. Tilden was absent
and Governor Robinson was away; but
nobody, it appears, seemed to miss
them. Firstly, Senator Kernan discoursed
ably on the financial question--hard money
man of hard money State. Then MIR.
Erastus Brooks raised his voice against
the cruel republican wrong of refusing to
reapportion the State Mr.. Dorsheimer
came from these far away subjects TO
business, and asked for the election
of the entire ticket Mr.. John ID.
Townsend stuck some little pins in the
lonely and unim pressionable figure at
Gramercy Park, and then came Mr.. John
Kelly, who made one OF those characteriSti-
cally frank speeches, in which he appealed
from the cry of dictatorship to the candi-
dates he laid before the people. He praised
the Tammnny candidates, and asked COM
parison between them and their opponents.
Mr.. Edward Cooper he referred to in kindly
terms AZ man who never could make mp
his mind, but went about to other people
seeking for decision and coming back in
the end to the first he had consulted to
know what his opinion had been when he
set out. There is ag grim humor about this.

nounced as thief, another as o burglar, q

to help the great cause of truth or justice,

invent whole catalogues Of imaginary
crimes to be laid at his door. It would seem
to be as necessary for candidate to have o

friends to blazon forth. The whole gamut
of slander has been SO played over that it
is "played out" TO use phrase politicians
will understand. It deceives nobody. Its
object is dishonest one, for the entire aim
is to keep the eyes of the people off the real
issues of canvass. It seeks to place tho
issue not, for instance, on whether the city
or State shall have good and strong gov
ernment, but on whether Hezekiah Frank

was bounty jumper. or Peter McBranigan,
the democratic aspirant for Alderman, q

The large attendance Of ministers and
laymsn at the conference in this city yes
terday OF the believers in the second advent
of our Lord is the best evidence that could
be given of the keen interest that is felt in
this question by the various Christian do
nominations. With one or two exceptions
almost every division Of the Christian
Church was represented. Nearly one hum
dred clergymen, who in other matters of
belief arc wide apart as the poles, met on
o common platform to attest their adhesion
to this idea, and IL ia very certain that the
doctrinal divisions on the platform hnd
their counterpart in tho large audience in
front Of it. This amicable gathering Of
Presbyterian and Baptist, of Methodist
and Episcopalian is in itself strong pre-
sumptive evidence in favor Of the second
advent and the millennium, which the sec-
ond advent implies. 1t is sweet to see
brethren dwelling together in peace and
there il some consolation in knowing that
there is at least one point upon which Chris
tian clergymen can unite. AT tho meeting
yesterday no new light was thrown upon the
question under discussion, and il is not
very probable that we shall know any more
on the subject after the conference adjourns

Pope and Porter.

The artful expedients to which General
Pope has had recourse to evade testifying
before the Board of Inquiry in General
Fitz John Porter's case will make an unfa-
vorable impression on the public mind.
General Pope was leading witness before
the court martial which tried and sentenced
Porter, and if he was in error in some
parts of his testimony it would be an act of
candor and manliness to assist in the cor
rection of his own mistakes and to acknowl-
edge the Misrepresentation under which he
labored at the time of tho trial, when o
great deal that is now known Of the situa-
ton had not come to light. His unwilling
ness to appear before the Board and tes-
tify will be ascribed to his dread of cross
examination. He has. therefore, acted
very unwisely for his own reputation, as
we'll as evasively toward the investigation.
The Board of Inquiry is not a court; it has
no commission either to revoke or confirm
General Porter's sentence. The only duty
with which it is charged is the collection of
evidence to enable the President to make an
intelligent review of the case. When
SO important witness as General Pope re-
fuses his assistance, or at least declines to
testify in the same manner as the other wit
nesses subject to have his testimony tested
and sifted by cross s-examination, a handle
is given to General Porter's friends to assert
that he is not receiving fair treatment and
that the instigator of the original trial
makes practical confession that it would
be.awkward for him to attempt to support
his former testimony. If all the witnesses
had been permitted in like manner to
shirk q cross-examination the inquiry
would have been of no value as
a means Of eliciting the real truth. But no
satisfactory reason CON be given why this
prominent witness should be shielded from
the usual tests of credibility to which all
the others have submitted. It is desirable
that this controversy be closed in such
way as to leave no reasonable ground Tor
complaint, and it is to be regretted that
General Pope is unwilling to contribute to
that end.

The WEATHER.-The central area Of the low
pressure recently in the Northwest is now over
the lake region and the British territory to the
northward Steep gradients have tcen formed
on the western margin of the low area by the
rapid advance Of the high barometer from the
Rocky Mountains, and high winds from the
Northwest and West prevail over and westward
of the lakes and Mississippi River. In the
South and Southwest the pressure is increasing
rapidly, the low area in the Western Gulf
having moved eastward during yesterday and
formed with the northern depression an irregu-
lar shaped baromctric trough extending from
the lakes to the Eastern Gulf district. Rains
have fallen over all the region east Of the Mis-
sissippi, with snow in the lake districts The tenn
perature has fallen quite low in the Northwest,
but has risen somewhat on the Atlantic coast.
It must, however, decrease again rapidly in the
latter region when the depression passes east
ward and the cold northwest and west winds
set in. The winds on the northeast coast are
northeasterly from the high barometer overly
ing New Brunswick and Newfoundland. Dur
ing to-day they will change to southwesterly
and westerly. Navigators about to leave port
for Europe or the New England or British
American ports will do well to take precautions
against heavy southwest followed by north
west blow. The weather In New York and Its
vicinity to-day will be partly cloudy or fair and
solder. Tomorrow IL will be clear or fair and
sold. The middle and east Atlantic coast cities
will have similar weather, the clearing taking
