suicide is left for the reader to de.
termine on such information as the
Chronicle has received. With re-
gard to the probable truth of AL.
ston's declaration that he was SUBJ
ject to mental alteration, it may
be mentioned that Mrs. Alston on
one occasion, in conversation with
q Chronicle reporter, remarked that
there was only one cause she could
imagine for her husbands deser-
tion, if he had really abandoned
her, and she declined to intimate
what that apprehension was. 1t is
possible that the unfortunate lady
may have noticed symptoms of in
sanity in her husband, but was un.
willing to yield to the terrible sus-
picion that he was a madman.

News OF the Jeannette.

BY the schooner General Harney, which
arrived at Honolulu August 81, we get
news of the steamer Jeannette, of the
American Arctic expedition. Our des-
patch from San Francisco, given in
another column, records that the Harney
brings whaling news to August 1, and
news of Nordenskj0ld's passing through
Behring Strait ''between July 20 and "a I"
The location Of the Jeanette in Kotzebue
Sound is given without date, but neces-
sarily implies good time made by the ex-
plorers. Kotzebue Sound is north of
Behring Strait, and is an indentation Of the
American continent just inside the Arctic
Circle. The Jeannette was at Oonalaska on
August 2, and that she should have reached
q point fourteen degrees further north in
time to be reported there by the Harvey
indicates determination on the part of
her commander to make the most of the
season. The captain of the schooner also
reports that all hands on board the jean
nette are in excellent health.

Harbor Distinctions.

In the account which we publish to-day
of proceedings in the interesting investi-
cation of the steps and methods pursued by
oil those persons intent upon filling up the
channels in the harbor will be found an
interview with the secretary of the Dock
Department, which will well repay perusal.
Formerly it appears that department
dumped the rubbish it has to dispose of
under the direction of it's own employees
and at its own expense-that is to say,
not by contract. 1t cost the department to
do that twenty-six cents per cubic yard.
That sum was, we suppose, the lowest price
for which the work could be done by any
method known to the Commissioners. With
all possible vigilance, with ali scrutiny and
care to guard against extravaganza, the de-
partment found that the lowest price at
which it could possibly dump its rub
bish to be in accordance with the
law was twenty-six cents cubic yard.
But a contract was made by which the de-
partment got the rubbish off its hands at
fifteen cents cubic yard-that is, al eleven
cents cubic yard cheaper than the work
could be done by the department.. That
was a very great difference Did the Com
missioners really believe that the men who
agreed to do the work so cheaply meant to
do it honestly, or did they know that they
meant to dump it in the harbor?

viva of business is extending to all parts OF tho

and capitalists and laboring men are to have better
times in the years to than during tho past hye
years. Upon all this congratulate you and wish
that could stay longer with you. but as is Did
you good evening.

tons along the road crowds were In attendance bus

The New York herald., 1879-09-10

Southern States were misruled by carpet
baggers, who were sustained by federal
bayonets, and this fact was held by a
great number of Northern republicans to
excuse the solid opposition of the South.
Now all the Southern States are relieved of
this misrule and OF federal interference
and stand upon precisely the same footing
as the Northern States. The Northern
voter rightly holds that that which
was excusable in 1875 is inexcusable
now; and when he sees not only
that the solid South is maintained
even by such criminal brutalities as the
Yazoo plan, but that it is encouraged and
counted on as a legitimate political fact by
the Northern democratic leaders, he ad-
journs all other questions and says, until
a normal and heathful political condition
obtains in the Southern States it is best to
keep the republicans in power.
Ii democrats complain that this is
wrong the reply is that it is nevertheless a
fact, fact fatal to their success and
which they cannot afford to overlook.
If they urge that, as our correspondent
reports, the republicans acted very
unscrupulous part in the coercion Of
operatives and laborers by the owners and
managers of factory corporations, in the in
timidation of pensioners, and in the heavy
and cruel assessments levied on petty Office
holders, we reply that all this only shows
more clearly how fatal is the democratic
position to themselves. Such acts as our
correspondent describes are odious to the
people; they could not be practised without
bringing upon their authors the popular in
dignation and resentment. if it were not
that public sentiment regards the "solid
South" and the general democratic attitude
as even more odious and less tolerable.

At Syracuse.

The noisy patriots who are assembled at
Syracuse to help Senator Conkling elect
Mr.. Cornell spent last evening in prelimi-
Robinson men argued with equal heat, and
if we may judge OF the probable temper of
the Convention to-day from the positive ILL
temper Of the members last evening Syra-
cuse will see lively day.
Foolish as the democratic wrangling is,
it is, after all, infinitely better than the
Yazoo plan OF making matters unanimous
by the help of shotguns; and we suggest
to the "unterrifed," who will meet to-
day, that they adopt q resolution de-
nouncing the Yazoo plan, and refusing,
in the name of the Northern democratic
party, the help of Southern votes obtained
by ianatical intolerance and intimidation.
Such a resolution would be timely
novelty, and would help the democratic
brethren more than the battle royal over
the temporary Craftsmanship of the Con-
vention which is to open tho proceedings
to-day, and the action of the State Com
mittee concerning which looks SO much
u DODlnSOu SuCCeSS tndC even CQe lam
many men were staggered by it.
The latest news last night seems to leave
little doubt of the denomination of Cover
nor Robinson, and our correspondent re-
ports the Tammany men as alarmed. They
will doubtless make desperate fight
in the Convention if they are beaten
they talk of nominating separate
ticket, which is, OF course, lett-handed
way OF giving the State to Mr.. Cornell.
Well, the HERALD has not spared advice to
the democrats, as indeed they have con-
fessed. But they have blundered on in
their own peculiar way. and We leave them
to their fac.
BY the way, we do not quite see what in
ierest the people of the State have in the
quarrel Where do they come in, anyhow
Suppose Tammany does secede and beat
Governor Robinson and get extinguished
itself will any real interest OF the people
suffer3
