A PoLIrioAL ScALAwAG.-We notice
that Mr.. Noyes, our Minister to Paris
is about to take trip up the Nile
after which he will resign and come
home to participate in the next Presi.
Dental campaign. Meanwhile the
missions, both at London and Paris
are lett TO run themselves. There il
little danger of serious consequences
however, as the missions for some time
past have been purely ornamental,
their only practical use being to afford
pleasant employment for some of our
superfuous statesmen. Noycs is an
Ohio man, and went down TO New
Orleans, in 1879, and helped Mrs.

A New TuNE.-Great men are no
better than small ones when similarly
tested. The recent count of votes in
the State Of Maine shows conclusively
how wonderfully circumstances alter
cases Mrs. jerks, Sherman 4 Co. bull
dozed the Returning Board Of Louis
lana, Florida and South Carolina in
1876, and compelled those Returning
Boards to tally the votes of those States
for Hayes, although there was ma.
jority in each of them for Mr.. Tilden,
Blaine never opened bis mouth, only to
praise the rogues for the crime they
committed against crime. Now, how
ever, when the Returning Board in bis
own State, in pursuance of lao and the
precedent established BY his Opn party,
count out few Radicals, he howls like
a wild beast A cotempoary peril.
nently remarks: "Mr. Blaine found it
good and rightful to uphold the Re-
turning Board frauds when they profit
ed himself and bis party, and attempt
ed to excuse them on the most miser-
able of shams. Now, when the Con.
sttution and the laws of bis own State
throw out majority illegally chosen,
he finds it hard to accept the situation,
and rushes about wildly in impotent
rage. Ifnjustice has been done in any
case it will be easy to prove it. The
cool head and stern will of Governor
Garcelon have been evidently TOO much
for the Hotspur of the United States
Senate"

A CoNoEITED REMARK.-The New
York Sun remarks Our esteemed con
temporary, the Herald, reports Gen
Grant as having made the remark at
tho house of the Governor of Nevada
that he sincerely hoped the necessity
for his nomination would not arise.
What conceit
AS if there could arise any circum-
stances which would render il o mat.
ter Of necessity that one particular in.
dividual sbonld be elected President OF
the United States
More especially is it absurd for Gen.
Grant TO think that man himself. In
the long line of Presidents there has
not been one who has shown less Gu.
pacity for civil administration than
Grant.
This remark Of Gen. Grants makes
it very apparent that his brain has
been turned by tho attentions which be
received while abroad. He would now
be less fit for President than ever, and
the true history of his eight years
administration shows that he was suf.
ficiently unfit before.

WHAT MiGHT HAPPEN.


Tho State Canvassing Board of New
York has decided that It's power does
not extend TO an examination OF do.
fects IN the election returns not ap.
parent upon their face. and the Chair.
man of the State Democratic State
did not seek to controvert
the Wow which they took Of their
duty. 1t is one which has heretofore
been generally accepted, but which has
been dsregarded in notable instances
when the partisanship Of an election
board perverted It's reason. There is
not much profit arguing what the law
really is in the matter, as there will be
no safety in assuming that 1t will stay
where it is when it does not suit the
party that has the power to change its
Interpretation. When the seven.by-
eight Supreme Court Electoral Com.
mission gave effect to the effort of the
Louisiana Returning Board to alter
the returns to count Hayes 10, all re.
lance upon the Judiciary to main.
tain a stable law, in defiance of vary.
ing political exigencies, was gone
When the trust Of the country in the
integrity of the decision of its Supreme
Judge is gone the Republic may be
assumed to be in serious danger. Its
danger will not come from ITS Demoo
racy; and Of this the action of the
Democrats in the New York State
carvassing board is some assurance
The record of the party gives us
further assurance of it. while that OF
the Republican party is SO bad that
the yiest and meanest attempts may
be expected from it in the effort TO
perpetuate its power. It would be
quite in the line Of its policy for ii to
change the method of selecting the
electors in New York to secure the
vote of the State for its candidate, 1t
would be good deal decentcr way of
defeating the will of the people than
the methods adopted to seat Hayes. 1t
would be a lawful way of cheating the
people, and where they are SO unfor
tunate as to have left open such an
avenue for their betrayal they need
not tear their hair il it is taken advan-
tago of.-Lancdster IHtelligencer.
