to favor the success of the Repub-
lIcan party in the battle Of 1880
ha We made up their minds to be In
the field early. II our memory
serves Us right, they have called q
National Convention to meet in
March Of next year, which Is
months in advance of the two great
political Conventions. The Ma
tional Labor and Greenback Con-
vention would doubtless like to
play the role of the Liberal Con-
vention at Cincinnati in the Grant
Greeley campaign, and outline a
programme for the Democracy to
adopt. They can resign this ambi-
tion ut once. The dog this time
will wag the tail, not the tail the
dog. 1t is high time that, all over
the country, the Democracy should
begin the work of organizing for
the decisive battle which will de.
termine whether or no the Ameri.

Ars going on In France just as
though there had been no resigna-
tion Of the Marshal President of the
Republic. M. Grevy seems to find
The reins resting easily In his
hands. 1t 10 instructive TO recur to
The reasons which led TO President
MncAfahon's resignation. Though
Prssldent Of the Republic, and a
military President at that, the old
soldier found 1t absolutely impos.
oibIe to retain his old comrades in
their commands in the army. He
WAS In the hands OF remorseless
Republican cabinet, who dictated
to him what should be done In
matters which pertained to his
own special department-the army.
It'll only by contrasting the Presi-
dent Of the United States with the
President OF France that we can
obtain realizing sense of the pow
er and dignity Of the first citizen
of this country. His powers are
really those Of sovereign. He is
by the law the Commander-in-
Chief Of the army. His will, un-
like that of the Marshal President
OF France, is absolute in all assign.
ments to military commands.
While 1t Is true that it is in the
pewsr Of the Congress Of the United
States to say whether the army
shall be large or small, and even to
prescribe the uses to which it shall
BE- put, as far as regards its mere
staff and assignments, the decision
Of our President is final. During
GRANTS twSterms, az esst as far as
regards the Southern States, there
was not more despotically gov.
erned country in the world than
the United States. With all our
boastei Constitution. as long as we
retain this feature France is far
more constitutional country in its
polity than our own. Under the
Iystem Of ministerial responsibility
will of the people is reflected

there than under our vaunted sys.
tenn. We do not pretend to cast a
balance between the merits and
drawbacks of the two schemes oi
government, but merely point out
the striking disparity which exists
Ours may be infinitely the better
plan of administration but it is fal
less Republican than the other.

Hunters Death.

Pieces Of the rope with which Hunt
er was hung were peddled IN Camden
last Saturday for s. dollars an inch.
An ingenious speculator made a nice
thing by hawking bogus rope. The
physician who was with the condemn
ed murderer during the closing hours
denies that the poor wretch was either
drunk or drugged. The doctor says:
ellis control over himself was wonder
ful. When he he attempted TO com
NIT suicide he closed his jaws, and We
thought he was dying. He could con-
troll the circulation of his blood and the
beating Of his heart. He appeared TO
be ia q stupor, and IL was impossible
TO obtain his pulse from the wrist.
Even al his heart the beats could not
be told, because Hunter prodnced an
artificial sound and motion OF the
breast, and IL was three minutes al one
time before we could get the pulsation
Of the heart. never met the mans
equal. There is no doubt but that he
was badly scared, and that he feared
the death which awaited him, but he
had nerved himself sufficiently 10 make
the last act in the drama one of thrill
ing interest You can set il down for
n certainty that Hunter was conscious
when he was carried down stairs, and
he was neither drunk nor drugged, be-
cause / attended him all the morning
and TO the end, and no one else admin
istered anything TO him. The man
who helped adjust the rope about
Hunters neck thinks that the public
was unnecessarily deprived of a few
last words. There was, he says, "a
faint surgling in the throat, as II the
murderer was about 10 clear IL, and his
lips moved perceptibly. / Thought for
a certainty that he was about TO speak.
He could not have done so had he de-
sired, though, because, as 1 saw at a
glance, the rope bad slipped frow the
position which il should have been In
TO break his neck, so that he could not
say a word. IL was not done intention
ally, but was a mistake of the sheriff,
which was excusable." The sheriff
certainly made some mistakes with his
new tangled bang Dg machine which
were utterly iuoxcusably.
