Anti-Tammany steps Into the Mire.

What was the ground of objection to Tam
many Hall at the last election 1t was that
Mr.. john KELLY, the potent head OF Tam
many assumed to dictate all nominations
and all appointments, and to rule, with the
iron will of enc man, the entire Democratic
party. We objected to this because VIZ be-
licvcd this onc-man power to bc antagonstic
10 the democratic doctrine OF equal rights
and popular government. Personally Mr..
KELLY was entirely unobjcctlonable, and
We opposed him, and did 1t solely from n
sense OF duty, because democratic princ-
pies required II.
Acting upon these views, We readily sup
ported the nomination and election OF Ed
think IL was tho advocacy OF The sun
which determined the result In his favor.
However that may bc, we did what we could
for him. And what is the RESULT He is
hardly installed in his Office before nc at
tempts to perpetrate an act OF uncommon
injustice and wrong. All that was conjcc-

KELLY becomes at once an accomplished
reality under EDWARD CooPERl A more
offensive official assertion OF one-man, ar
bitrary power could not have been made.
And now what do the sore-hoads and soft
heads Of Anti-Tammany dol They hasten
to adopt resolutions approving Of the arDi-
trary and unlawful conduct OF the Mayor
Why did they not adopt resolutions in
favor Of the Russian plague? II is hardly
more fatal To its victims than their resolu-
lions will prove 10 them.

1t Is not probable that the Legislature OF
any other civilized commonwealth in tho world
could DO induced to consider the proposition
which has occupied the Pennsylvania Legisla-
ture for the greater part Of the present session.
The Pennsylvania Railroad Company demands
that 81 o00.0O snail be handed over to it 10y the
State to make good the so-called Pittsburgh
losses. occasioned by the labor riots Of 1877 and
it is more than likely that the appropriation
will be made. Pennsylvania can hardly be said
to be a free State. 1t is under the heel OF the
great railway monopoly and Is oppressed and
liundcrcd at its pleasure. But there are some
reasons why this grab should be attended with
unusual danger to the seryie politicians who
promote it.
AS the law stands. Allegheny County IL re-
spousbc for these damages II responsibility
attaches anywhere but to tho company itself.
Yet the re- has been no trial OF the issue. and the
State is asked to relieve the county before the liza
bllity Of the county has been ascerianed. 1t is
well understood thatth railroad company dare
not submit lis claim TO n judicial test. There is
nota court from the Delaware to the Ohio that
would not decide that the company had brought
this calamity down upon itself-that is unless
the facts have been grossly misstatod
In a recent debate Mr., FAUNcE Of Philadelphia
snd: " The Governors proclamation had ex-
hibitod the exact character Of tho great out
break. and the arrival OF the military had really
been an assumption Of authority on the part Of
the State which clearly fixed her liability for tho
subsequent losses" This is the only point
made by him, or 10y any one else, in favor Of the
bill; and II Is the only ono that could be made
under any circumstances. But it Is readily dis
posed Of The Grand Jury Of Allegheny, Col.

THE MARQUIS or LORNE IN PERIL.
The Way In which he Interfered with Can
ada's Constitutional Rights.

MONTREAL, April "a great change has
come over the face OF affairs here since the
arrival OF the Marquis OF Lorne. Queen Vic
toria's son-in-law. AMI the reintroduction Of
the old-iashionod Downing street rule which
prevailed here some twenty years ago. and in
fact up to the time OF the Confederation. You
may depend upon It there is trouble ahead II
the Marquis persists in his course. He has
already proved himself an utterly misplaced
Official. He has shown his incapacity to M
any post Of trust or responsibility.
His refusal to sanction the dismissal Of Gov
Letellier De ST. just OF Quebec upon the adj
vice Of his Ministry. without consulting Down
ing street-a thing which mono OF his pre-
dccessors ever was guilty OF in SO plain a
case-is an insult to the whole people OF Canada
who had testified their confidence in that MIN
lstry ny ,hc sweeping Conservative majority Of
last fan. The Ministers are solely rpsuonslble
30 the people both for their own acts and the
acts OF the Governor General; they are not re-
spOhsible To the Governors Gpneral-thnt is II
there Is any virtue in the Responsible Govern
mcnt aud Confederation acts OF the British and
Canadian Parlinments. But MS England and
these acts so far as England's side OF the bar
gain is concerned, have very little value "a n
guarantee Of Canadian rights.
II matters little whether the dismissal Of Lo-
telller WAS wise or an unWisa act on the part
Of the Ministry. The Mnrquis's disregard of
the wishes Of the Ministry rs "a disregard Of the
voice ana wishes Of the people who authorized
that Minstry-and no other Ministry, whether
British or Cnnalinn-tO advise him. The fact
IT, the Marquis Of Lorne should have stayed AT
homo, and gone ON writing poetry and decaim-
ing other mems productions in reply To loyal
addresses. He has been caught IN nj least two
literary theits Of this SORT -one from the Grafton
OF D"moslhrnns on the Crown. and the other
from Charles Knight ON the Magma Charta.

Cipher Weed.

II appears by the reports from Albany
that the Honorable SMITH NJ. WEED is
making himself very onicious about the at
tempted removal Of the Police Commits
sioners.
Mr.. WEED is n bright and current man (,
but the circumstances in which he is placed
point to the propriety Of his stepping down
and out of politics for the present. His
head is one which is likely to be hit wherever
II arises. He had so much to do with the
cipher dispatches that he should reduce

What win the Covcrnor Dot

IL is announced that Mayor COOPER has
made up what there is Of his mind, and that
he will transmit, to-day. TO the Governor at
-Ttttarrv ~ t-ywnn-to cII.ha .rsasunsl az
three Police Commissioners, for the action
OF the Governor thereon.
II is now more than fortnight since
Mayor COOPER stated that the case was
closed and after his constant and continued
vacillatons there may be some uncertainty
as 10 what his action will he to-day. II Is
with the Mayors mind somewhat IA It is
with March weather; the only thing safe to
predict about it is that it will soon be differ
ent from what it is now
But assuming that the Mayor sends the
certificate of removal TO the Governor what
Will the Governor do about it?
We have been accustomed to regard Gov
ROBINSON with great respect We have
looked upon him as firm, rcsolutc. con-
scicntious public officer. Those opposed to
the Governor his encmies-arc fond of rep
rcsentng him as broken man, unable to
read, and with eycsight so greatly inn
paired that he does not know where to sign
his name.
Does he know whore not to sign il d? II he
does, he will not sign il to the certificate OF
removal of these Police Commissioners
which the hot-headcd unbalanced Mayor
has made out without afIording them the
opportunity to be heard guaranteed to
them by law.
The enemies Of Gov. ROBINSON assert
that he is no longer Governor, but that his
able and accomplished son, MI DAVID G.
ROBINSON, is, in fact, the real Governor of
the State.
We would just as soon have the son for
Governor as the father If, as we are as
sured, the son IS just as good man; but
the preference Of the people to have some
man whom they have elected might be very
clearly manifested, II their attention should
now be called to that point 10y any indis-
erect and arbitrary act ON the part Of the
Executive.
We cordially supported LUcIUs ROBINSON
for Governor. We have hoped to support
him for reelection. Notwithstanding all
that is said, we shall adhere TO our faith
and confidence in him unless II shall be de-
stroyed by some nconsidcrate act Of his
own, such ~ the approval Of Mayor CooPERs
