Fundamental principles, were officially adopted

the direct pecuniary loss which this deusiOn
has entailed upon the country, by hindering
and delaying return to rational methods in

to the credit of the country. weakening every
promise of the Government, making the

looks like a complete victory for honesty and

OF course we can never contemplate this

THE IPPRO4CB or AUTUMX.

The air was full Of Summer yesterday, when the
reign of Autumn began. few leagues to the north-
ward brown leaves are iuttering to the ground. the
swamp naples are all afame, and every landscape
shows n hundred Obtrusiye evidences that the
ripened wear is fastening TO its rest. Hereabout, on
the contrary the woods and fields are all
green with lsty. life and growth. Tho lawns
in the Park never looked fresher in June. and
one would hardly bo surprised to see the bloom
of lilac and yiburnum instead or altheas and
snowy panicles of hydrangea AMI the orange-co-
ored trumpets of the bignonia. Last September
found the fields burned brown and the foliage of the
trees dry and shrivelcd, and all the early
Autumn was chokcd with drought and dust.
The exceptional and almost yernal freshness of the
year past its prime Is dde To the generous rams
which made the August just left behind memora-
BILE month in the weather records OF recent years
One can hardly recall time when the earth III ma
ture Summer was blessed with so liberal asaturation
and when in early September there was no excuse
for vegetation TO take rest rom growing except
that Inc work Of the year had been rounded and
upencd into completeness.
Bat no doubt the Almanac is right. September
has come, and all the world is packing up for the
return to town, just before the kindling color
in the woods and the dreamy haze upon
the hills transGgure every landscape, and just be-

must come home some time. The children must
90 to school and the Fall trade must De looked
after. The year cannot be all vacation. and the
courts and schools aud churches and theatres must
begin their orderly ongongs sooner or later. Alto
go!hcr the 1st of September may be the most ap-
propriate day in the calendar for sun-hrowned
judges anl teachers and preachers 20 pick
up their work where they had lad it down.
Bat there are people who return 10 the
city at this season simply because they arc bid to
30 80 bv fashions and il may be worth while to
remind these that fashion never promulgated a
more senseless decree. Swinging in hammock Is
only life by courtesy. Passive existence may be
more endurabo in the country than in the
city during the season Of midsummer Ian
guOr But life i'm the country life actual
and hearty, when living tsolf a luxury, only
comes with the crisp and stimulating breath of an
Autumn morning.
Fortunate they who have yet some vacation days

of all the year for escape to the country
and for gathering treasures of health and courage
and hope is yet to come.

i0ur dispatches from Saratoga Indicate that
Mr.. Cornelrs nomination for Governor on
Wednesday is extremely probable. HIS friends
arc so sanguine that they claim his nomina-
ton Oh the first ballot, and perhaps by ac-
clamation Unprcjudiced observers concede
him 24O votes, or 13 more than a majority.
Ii is claimed that he is the second choice OF
many delegates, and that so soon as other
candidates are dropped votes will begin to 90
over to him. The anti-Cornell men admit
that he can only be defeated by general
fusion of all the opposing elements lmmedi-
ately after the first ballot. Two men are men
toned as the candidates of this fusion. See
rctary Evarts and Sherman s. Rogers. NJ.
Evarts's name is thought to be used entirely
without his authority. None of the principal
anti Cornell leaders are on the ground yet,
ard no general plan of action has been
formed. There is a marked absence of all
bitterness between the various elements, and
the general desire Is to make that nomina-
tion which shall be most certain of giving the
party victory. Whichever one OF the prominent
men now named gets the nomination, il is
perfectly clear that he will receive the hearty
support Of his present rivals. There is less
said in our dispatches about the platform than
we could wish. We are glad, however, to find
that it Will contain emphatic approval of
the Presidents course during the late session,
rs well as a hearty recognition of the great
work of the Treasury in the resumption of
specie payments and revival of prosperity.
We hope there will be also some distinct
utterance on the genuine railroad grievances
of the people of New-York. There is "A gen
eral recognition Of the extreme importance of
the election with reference to next years
Presidential contest. The Convention will
embrace as large number Of distinguished
men of the State as any one for many years
past. and their deliberations will be iclosely
watched by voters.

Mrs Dixen rises TO the yindication OF her
husbands memory from the ISLANDERS of bis
murderers in statement which is impressive
with the shadow of an awful grief. Her re-
cital of the manner of his death and OF the
events which led to it will settle forever all
question of the character of the quarrel which
ended so foully. He was murdered because ne
opposed the Democratic party. and for no
other reason. She makes startling ADDITION
to the overwhelming mass of proof already
accumulated when she shows that four days
before the crime was committed the Demo-
cratic Convention charged formally that
Dixon had threatened to assassinate Barks-
dale, the man who subsequently murdered
him. When Dixon read this charge, he said /;
THAT means murder; l am to he assassi-
mated tins is another way 70 prepare the

unusually long ticket is to be voted for' com
prising, beside COngressmen, full State legiS-
lative and municipal officers, Chiei-Justlce
of the Supreme Court and six Associate JUS
tees. and three Railroad Commissioners.
While there are five parties in the contest,
the struggle is really between the Repu5h-
cans and three factions of the Democratic
party. Two of these factions have the same
candidate for Governor. while the third, which
is Kearney's party, has separate State
ticket. but the regular Democratic judicial
ticket. In this division of the opposition the
Republicans base their hope of victory. They
are confident of electing their candidate for
Governor and at least three of the four Con-
grcssmen 1t is impossible to judge at this
