1t proposed to get up . grand sH-
sursion to NEE. Gen. Grant in San
Francisco on his return home from his
around. the world trip. Arrangements
are now in progress at San Francisco,
Omaha, Chicago and other points east
ward for this purpose. 1t is suggested
that through passenger cars be started
from all the leading cities on the Allan
tic coast, to meet at Omaha-and there
be made up into trains for San Francis.
co. The tare is to be put At the lowest
possible fgure-so rs not to exceed slo
for tho round trip from Boston, New
York or Philadelphia to Omaha
and s25 or $50 for the round
trip from Omaha to San Fran
cisco and back-in other words to
make the rates o. low ~ one cent
mile. 1t is estimated that at this rate
80. 900 passengers would be secured.
Correspondence has been opened with
the hotels and dining stations along the
line to secure corresponding reductions.
1t is proposed to occupy three wsek' in
the trip, remaining one week in San
Francisco. Each line OF railroad Of the
standard gauge is expected to furnish
coaches for its own passengers, who will
be sent through without change, run
ming at the rate Of perhaps twenty
miles to the hour, making stops only
for wood and water. The Pacific Rail
road will procure the necessary number
OF additional locomotives from other
lines where hundreds are now lying
idle. The strictest measures will be
taken to protect the railroad and to
prevent any but bona fde eIcursionists
taking advantage OF the reduction OF
rates.
We agree with the Reading "Times"
and "Dispatch" when in alludins to
this projected excursion, that it would
do General Grant more harm than good, j.,
as it would be looked upon as an ex-
hibition OF man worship on such col
!ossal scale that sensible intelligent
men would not only condemn the man
worshipping excursion but General
Grant himself whom it Is intended to
honor. The Generals habits and
tastes, not only in this country while
he was President, but while he was
the honored guest Of Emperors and
Kings in.forsign countries, have been
very plain and simple, and we are sure
that il his desires were consulted he
would favor no such mammoth .xcur-
sion as proposed. His unbounded
popularity lies in his simplicity as an
American citizen, and it would be i'm
DO ssible to make an aristocrat out OF
him, or anything else than the plain
honest ,unpretentious citizen that he is.
lie needs DO .uch ovation to brig him
into popular notiee, for like Washing
J ton he lives in the hearts OF his coun-
trymen, and if the Republican candi-
date for President, he will be elected
by the people who delight to honor
him. but who would not make a god OF
him. Let ths excursion he abandoned.

THE "Gazette," has a great terror OF
armed soldiers going to the polls to
protect them, but it has not word to
say against armed rowdies with their
pockets full Of pistols and knives, to
keep Republicans from voting. No man
that wanted to voc was ever preven-
ted from doing SO by soldiers, while on
acooupt of armed Democratic bulldozers
in the South very few Republicans are
allowed to vote at all. As it in the

WHdT WILL MR.. TYLDEN Dor

A letter to a Western Democrat, from Cen
eral j. b. Corse, of this city, is said to con-
tain the information that Mr. Tilden, if con-
WINGED that Governor Robinson cannot be
elected, will take the field and run for Gov
erDor himself 1t is probable that he could
not do a better thing for his own interests.
If he cannot hope to carry this State, 1t will
save him q great deal of money and some
trouble to find it out before the Presidential
nominating convention meets. A campaign as
candidate for Governor will test his strength
in this State far better than it can be tested
by running any subordinate, or any candidate
unobectionable to Tammany. 1t will cost him
mach less than Presidential nomination. If
he should succeed, it would make his nominal
ton almost inevitable, and materially increase
his chances of an election. BY that policy
he would be enabled to fight his main bat
tie In his own State, on familiar ground,
and with known and chosen aids and agents
and if he cannot win there and this year, there
is not one chance in hundred that he could
win next year, as Presidential candidate. Then
he would be heavily handicapped with the soft
money tendencies of his party elsewhere, with
its hunger for appropriations and jobs at the
South and with the jealOusies of other Demo-
cratic leaders, and would have the still-un-
tested hostility of Mr.. Kelly and Tammany
Hall TO meet besides. Now, as candidate for
Governor, he would be able to meet Mr.. Kelly
alone. With no outside burdens TO carry, he
could certainly put down the local instruction
in his party, if it is possible for him to put it
down at all, and it would then be no longer a
grave discOuragement to his friends in all
other States.
There is some reason to suppose that the
formal notice which was served upon Mr.. Til
den by Mr. Springer and other Western Dem
ocrats not long ago, has convinced the vet
eran of Cipher Alley that his best course is to
take the field himself He was told that Dem
ocrats elsewhere had no part In the quarrels
in New-York. but that he could not be can
didate for the Presidency unless he could har-
monte his party In his own State. 1t will
naturally occur to Mr.. Tilden that this local
quarrel if not clearly and fully settled, will
hurt him much more next year than it does
now. 1t was admitted by Mr.. Tiden. in re-
marks which have been quoted upon the au-
thorty of prominent Democrats, that this
State might be lost this year, though he
claimed that he could carry it next year.
But Democrats elsewhere demand evidence
that he can carry it at all, and demand that
if he can, he shall do so this year
to avert the harm 10 the whole party
which defeat in New-York would involve
To carry the State, and to show that he can
harmonic his party here-that is the problem
set him. Victory with Governor Robinson, if
attained at all, must be attained IN a way
which would show that the party was not mar
monized, upon conditions which would not

paid into the society's treasury and used lor
benevolent purposes.
Tho judges, saying that the case was without
nrecedel,t and must be decided upon general
principles, adiudged the main question IN
favor of the Association. The general pur-
pose-the moral and religious Improvement OF
young men-was public charity, for 1t en-
braced all classes alike. That the privileges
of the library and reading-room were conilhed
to young men who had paid fees OF member
shin. did not change that fact, since all classes
could become members on like terms. The
use of evangelical" IN the constitutions
made no difference, for that word meant
according to the gospel" An endeaYor 10
disseminate the principles of the gospel
among young men of all classes impartially,
was an act Of public charity. The point rs to
the rented stores was decided In favor OF the
tax collector. An association can only hold as
exempt from taxes the property which they
use in their benevolent labOrs. Money In
vested TO secure an income must pay its tax,
no matter how the income is spent. Inc re-
suit was that the collector was told he must
reduce the tax bill to fair tax upon the
stores, letting the upper part 20 free, and the
Association was ordered to pay that only.
As nearly all the States grant exemption
from taxes to- property devoted to religious,
charitable and educational uses, this decision
will probably have a wide application. 1t
finds considerable support in some former
cases. Such institutions as the Hebrew Free
School Association in NewYork. the Little
Sisters of the Poor in Cincinnati and Masonic
lodges In Georgia, have been considered ex-
cmpt, because charitable or religious, though
the contrary has been said of Odd Fellows
lodges in Missouri. And, as to taxing the
rented stores, there are familiar decisions that
exemptions from taxation when granted to
churches or colleges do not enable them to
hold parsOnages or rented school or lodging
houses free Of taxes, nor even to collect rents
for portions of their buildings which they do
not want, but only include property which the
Association uses directly in its. benevolent

There is nothing to say about mobs which has not
been said thousand times but perhaps the mob
battles at Quebec were somewhat more outrageous
and criminally absurd than usual. The trouble
mainly arose from that prejudice and hostility
for which no ingenuity can find an excuse If the
French Canadians had kept quietly at home, in
stead Of marching about III thoroughly useless
procession, there would have been no trouble. OF
course they had legal right thus to parade unless
forbidden by the authorities; but men frequently
have legal right to do what they had better by far
leave undOne. Nor was It absolutely necessary for
them, if they must march, to take their way
through part of the city swarming with lrshmen
but of course. they must have their own way,
lest they should be regarded rs towards. What
Quebec seems to lack is a government vigorous
enough to maintain peace and the laws.
For want Of this many lives were endangered,
many persons were seriously injured--as usual the
sufferers being those who were keeping the peace
and not those who were breaking it. The lower
part of the town was, for some time, in possession
of the rioters. and though there was some show Of
military force, they did pretty much they pleased
for disgracefully protracted time We have been
unusually free in the United States from riots dur
ing the present season. the uneasy part of the pop
ulation having good reason for believing that an
indulgence in their sangunary eccentrictics would
not be wholesome.

TAXIN4 THE CHRISTIAN Associations.

T4YINp THE CHRISTIAN ASSOCIATIONS.
The numerous members of the Young
Mems Christian Associations will be graft
fed with the favorable view of their Organi-
zatlon taken by the courts in the matter of
taxing their property. The Association in
Philadelphia, which does not appear to differ
materially from the general type of these
societies all over the country, has for some
years withheld payment of taxes upon its
building, upon the ground that it was the
property of an institution of public charity.
Such institutions are, by the law of Pennsyl-
vania, exempt from taxation. AT length, as
the tax collector was about to proceed
to sell the building for the taxes
due. the Association brought suit To
forbid him. The building in question
is a large, handsome edifce on the corner of
Fifteenth and Chestnut-sts. 1t has, like most
of the Association buildings in the large cities.
a ground floor fitted up with stores to be
rented, and floors above arranged for the
library, lectures. meetings and business of the
Association. The counsel for the tax collector
argued that the associations are not institu-
tons of public charity. because their object is
to promote only evangelical religion, which
would exclude Roman Catholics, Jews and
Unitarians from their benefits. But the Judges
interrupted him to say that in a legal sense
" evangelical il not restricted 10 particular
denominations, but means holding the funda
mental doctrines of the Christian faith, and
would include Roman Catholics. Counsel then
argued that il Christian Associations may
hold IL building for devotional and benevolent
uses Tree from taxation, they cannot invest
money in block of stores to be- rented. and
escape taxes, even though the rents are
