OUR NEW SECRETARY OF WAR.

The appointment and prompt confrma-
tion of Hon. ALEXANDER RAMSEY as Secre-
tary of War as the successor of Secretary
MCCRARY, are alike creditable to the Presi-
dent, the Senate and the incumbent. We
doubt if an appointment could have been
made which would have met with more gen.
eral approval than the selection of ex-senator
RAMSEY for the War portfolio. A man of
conceded ability and probity, of large ex-
perience in public affairs of unques toned
integrity and unblemished name, he will
bear with him into his new position a meas
ure of public confidence and respect that
seldom attaches to public position. We
have already given brief sketch of his
public career, which has been alike honor
able and successful This is the first break
in the Cabinet since the Inauguration of
President HAYES, and this appointment
vindicates the skill and judgment of the
Executive in filling breaches

THE DEMOCRArIC OUTLOOK.

Mr. MCCLURE, the editor of the Philadel-
phia Times, has been at the Capital for some
days, applying his microscopic powers to
the Democratic situation, to ascertain, if
possible, what the matter is with that
party, and what its prospects are of sustain
ing respectable status in the contest of
1880. He has looked the ground over care
fully, and has come TO the deliberate con-
clusion that about the best thing that can
be done with the wreck is TO abandon it to
the underwriters. He has discovered that
the affair is in very bad way. In the first
place, there is no one question upon which
there is entire Democratic harmony"
This fact confronts and discourages the
party. 1t is admitted that the most serious
trouble now in the Democratic path resides
with the Federal election laws. The diff
Guilty of doing anything with them now, as
the case is candidly viewed, seems to rest
with the fact that the Hotspurs of the
South were so irrepressible and irrestrain.
able during the extra session that
they madly upset every future prospect of
obtaining anything like modification of
these laws so that their Objectionable fea-
lures, if they have any, may be eliminated.
The attempt to repeal them and wipe them
out was so offensive that the President,
who might then have signed an act of mod-
fcation, has been kicked and cuffed by
Southern arrogance until it is very doubt
ful if he can be induced now to approve
any measure of Democratic origin in rela-
ton to them. Then, again, the opinion
turks in the more conservative Democratic
mind that public sentiment has been so
poisoned toward the extravagancies of the
extra session that it will justify any posi-
ton the President and the Republicans
may elect to assume toward future Demo-
cratic action on the question.
Then, again, Mr. MCCLURE has discov-
cred that want of unanimity in the DEM
ocratic party in regard to Presidential
candidate brings grave trouble to its cause
and prospects Then, there is great
"chaiing and unrest among the Demo
cratic leaders because they feel that they
are handicapped in every race" He pre-
diets that I" if the Democrats get TO be the
"under dogs in the fight in this session, as
they were jn the last, there will be a
heroic break for the annexation of half OIL
" the whole of Mexico, and GRANT will be
indicated as the leader"
This is the possible programme that this
observer of the Democratic situation con-
jures up for the Democratic party in 1880
and nothing more deplorable could be con-
ceiyed rs last resort for a party which il
falling. in pieces under the disintegrating
forces that come from descrtion of prin-
ciple and mere scramble for place and
proyender.

VALLANDIGHAM sat upon the Canadian
border watching and waiting during the
war for the rebels to overturn the Govern
ment, and now the Buffalo Courier says
"The Democratic party has been waiting
Z" for some strong man to step forward who
"dares do right without regard to the pos
"sible effect on his Presidential prospects
"and who has the courage even to denounce
"his party's errors" The watching and
waiting" of Democrats is usually fruit
less performance.

THE brains of the Democratic leaders in

convened in New York ON Wednesday last
The object of the association is the promo

HAVING failed to procure the rejection of
the nomination of ex-Secretary MCCRARY
to be United States Circuit Judge, the Post
is now engaged in tearing TO pieces an
imaginary nomination, said, alleged and
rumored to have been rendered to Senator
EDMUNDs to be Associate Justice of the
Supreme Court, vice Justice HUNT, who, by
the way, has not resigned, nor does he con-
template resigning. 1t is perhaps rs well
that the Great National Democratic
Organ y! should expend its superabund-
ance Of youthful political vigor and parti-
san animosty upon this wholly imaginary
situation as upon something more tangible.

THAT Goyernor-elect CORNELL has re.

the cock-and-bull story that General AR
THUR has been pulling the wires for the

ceased. Perhaps it will also dispose of some
of the fears entertained by aspirants for that

MAN in as Governor of New York He has
been the adviser and secret manipulation of
nearly every political fraud that has char
acterized the Democratic party, and it has
been as prolific of them as q shad is of roe.
| His great and overshadowing fraud was his
attempt to capture the Presidency through
the agency of his cipher telegrums in 1876
and 1877, which has been thoroughly ex-
posed to an extent that would have caused
any other man to hide his diminished head
in shame, but he braves it out with the
brazenness of lewdness itself Now he is
probably practicing in Maine, in view of tho
fact that he may need skilled talent in that
line in 1880 and 1881, either for himself or
his party. 1t is safe to bet that TLDEN
has finger in that pic.
IT is possible that the meeting of the
Republican National Committee in this city
next week will be the occasion of some
trouble over the carpet-bagger question
1t is matter Of current gossip that Messrs
of Florida, members of the Committee as
organized at Cincinnati in 1876, are no
longer residents of the States they were
then selected to represent In Mr.. PAT
TERsoN's case there may be reasons of
political nature, arising from Bourbon per-
secution in the State courts, TO excuse his
absence from South Carolina and it is pos
sble that no one will claim the privilege or
right of supplanting him on the committee.
Be this as IL may, however, he is man
enough to step down and out If the situa-
tion shall seem TO require that course from
him. But Mr. PuRMAN's case isditferent. He
seems TO have left Florida to become resi-
dent-if not voting citzen-of Pennsylva-
MIA without any valid reason except that he
has followed his own personal interests. He
has not been the victim of persecution, po-
litical or otherwise, unless, indeed, his con-
science pricks him for his pro-TILDEN
speech in the expiring hours of the Forty
fifth Congress; aud another man, good and
true Republican, bona fde citizen of
Florida, the Hon. GEORGE L. WENTWORTH,
has been selected by the Republicans of
that State TO succeed him. If, under these
circumstances Mr.. PURMAN shall insist upon
recognition as Floridian and as a mem
Der of the Committee, the conviction evolved
from his tOrtuous course in Congress and
out of it that he is selfish fraud will be
doubly confirmed. We presume, however,
that the Committee will be compelled to toll
crate him, as there seems to be 10 precedent
to sustain any other course
