journal 10 give place 10 MI w II. DalOhi I
of Boston. This gentleman is better
known as the sharp-eyed writer who
noticed the murderer OF Mrs. Hull,
Chastine Cox, on Boston's streets. The
Press once had a profitable business,
and was valuable property, but Nc
Clure's Times has run away with its
custom and its readers. Col. L. ii.
Nevin, part proprietor OF the Press,
issues the first number OF new evening
two cent paper on the 10th inst.-the
Ersninq Ns.cs. 1t will be Republican in
politics and a Grant organ-Grant Tor
President; and ii that does not satisfy
him, Grant for Dictator; and, perhaps,
Grant for Citizen King.
IT was wreckless waste OF voting ma
terial for the United States officials to
put off naturalizing the onl! Chinese
citizen of Baltimore until two days after
the election. Such a neglected oppor-
tunitv would make Gen. BUTLER or Gen.
BLAINE groan in spirit.
DURING the past three or four weeks
gangs of outlaws have committed crimes
in three or four States, North and South.
The authorities appear to have been
thoroughly frightened, and the scoun-
drels have had their own way. Moth
ing less mild than hanging bee will
effectually stop tins business. The
Governors of States where such outrages
occur should summon sufficient force
10 hunt the scoundrels down and cap
ture them, or, ii they resist, shoot them.
ANOTHER revolution in Mexico is be-
lieyed to be imminent. There are many
thousands of people in that republic
who have the ignorance OF an ante-bel-
lum plantation negro, the pride OF a
Spanish grandee and the insolence OF a
TUX. They hate progress, regarding
any innovation as device OF the devil.
Bigotry and superstition are their most
prominent traits. 1t is this class OF
citizens who make it such hard work to
maintain Republican government in
Mexico.
REPUBLICAN gains in Republican States
are of no more use TO party than an al
ditional foot of water in well that had
plenty of water before. The one great
TACT OF value in the political situation
is that New York, added TO undcnlably
Democratic States, elects President.
The vote of the feud-rent and democrat
lied Democracy OF the Empire State,
this fall is ample proof that when the
partv is united, as it will be next year,
| it will sweep the State jdShingto"
Post.
CONGRESS will meet in three weeks
from next Monday. One its first acts
should be to establish tribunal Tor the
examination of claims. Under the eX-
listing condition Of affairs, two-thirds OF
the time OF every session IS expended on
claims, and the results attained are by
no means satisfactory Washington Post
THERE is no excuse whatever Tor TAX
ING auy account OF Tammany as body
corporate in the coming reorganization
of the city Democracy. There Is not
the least reason for "ConCiliating' the
leaders of the late Tammany Hall
There is every reason Tor treating the
rank and file whom those leaders de
ludcd fairly and kindly in the formation
OF a strong organization covering the
whole OF the city and entirely independ.
ent both OF the late Tilden clique and
the late Tammany clique. Until both
of these remains are buried as well as
dead, there is no chance that the city
Democracy will either win or deserve
the complete success to which they have
lust shown that their numbers entitle
them.-NeW York World.
The result seems TO prove beyond con
trOverSv that the majority of this State
is on the Democratic side and il proves
also, that il the candidate OF the Demo
cracv for President be well selected next
wear, New York may be carried and the
candidate elected. Let the Democracy
then, learn something from the danger
Gus strait into which they have just been
brought The principles OF their polltt
cal creed are those OF the Constitution
their fundamental doctrines form the
very essence of Republican self-govern-
ment. Let them now manifest equa
wisdom in practice, and real victory
NAV be theirs in lSS0.-Ncr York SIN.
TIE political ghost OF Ben Butler
troubles Boston, and particularly the
timid organ OF the swallow-tail Democ
racv. The latest is that Ben will run
for Congress from a Boston district
The wish is father to that perennial 9th
or story that the General has fOreswOrr

Mr.. THOMAS BAILEY POTTER, the dis

dent of the Liverpool Chamber of Com
merce, Yesterday addressed the New
York Chamber OF Commerce in favor o.
a revision Of the tariff that would assis
in readjusting the relations OF trade be
tween this country and En- gland
These gentlemen must see tina
to establish free trade in Thu
country at the present time would
be a suicidal policy. But they also set
that this country has already become the
chief granary OF the world and that ,
prohibitory tariff is the means whereof!
the prices for our food stuiIs are dimin
ished, because it necessarily diminishe'
the number of articles that can be taken
in exchange for the products OF the soil
