state Politics.

A ASaratoga correspondent Of the HERALD
furnishes the valuable information that if
Mr.. Cornell should not be nominated then,
in the belief of the political wiseacres as
sembled at Saratoga. . will lie between Mr..
Hiscock, Judge Robertson, Mr.. Pomeroy,
Mr.. Sloan, the celebrated Mr.. Starin, ex-
Governor Morgan, MIR. Fenton and several
others It is astonishing how much those
Saratoga politicians appear to know and
do not know.
There seems to be, showever. a general
impression at the political watering place
that Mr.. Conkling will drop Mr.. Cornell
and take up some other candidate. Some
people imagine he has ''dark horse" in
training. Governor Fenton's temperance
in the active politics of the State attracts
curiosity and attention, and there are peo-
pie who fancy it means something, but they
do not know what.
We still think that unless Mr.. Conkling
means to run himself he had better lose no
time in bringing forward q candidate upon
whom all the factions OF his party will
readily unite. 1t is not good time for
trifling, and if he persists in pushing Mr..
Cornell, and is then beaten, he will regret it,
The republicans think that the demo-
crafts ought to and must renominate Gov
Wood-was frank enough to tell HERALD
reporter iurther that he did not think Mr..
Robinson could be elected.

The WEATHER.-The area of high pressure
has passed out into the ocean off the coast of
Maine. The barometer continues to be above
the mean in the Middle Atlantic and South
eAtlantic States and dominates over the
weather in these districts. The atmospheric
pressure is gradually diminishing west of the
lake regions, and the storm centre which
has remained almost stationary in the
Northern Missouri districts during the
past two days is being more and more
developed, and it is slowly moving eastward,
but owing to the high pressure southeast of the
lake regions it is more than likely to pass north
of the lake regions. Its influence is now being
felt in the northern portion of Minnesota, where
high winds are prevalent The temperature is
comparatively low in the Middle Atlantic and
South Atlantic States, but Is rising rapidly
throughout the central valleys and the North
west. The weather has been clear along the
Atlantic coast and those sections of the country
lying south of the Ohio River as far as Florida
1t was fair IN the lake regions and cloudy west
of the Mississippi River, with occasional raius.
Heavy rain has fallen in Florida. The winds
have been high in the Northwest and the upper
lake regions, brisk In the Southern States and
gentle to fresh elsewhere. The weather in New
York aud its vicinity to-day will be fair and
warmer. Tomorrow it will be fair, with higher
temperature.

presence at the head of the government
seemed to indicate a recognized prece-
dency of Hungary in the Empire, and his
function was to prevent such development
as would introduce forces which might dis
turb that balance. But Count Andrassy
now goes out of Office, and he goes out SIM
ply because the elements that favor the
policy of an Austrian absorption of Slavic
countries on grand scale has received def
mite and explicit encouragement from Ber-
lin, and is thereby so much strengthened
that he cannot control it,, and because he
knows that the indulgence of that policy
will make insuperable difficulties for any
Minister who expects to govern constitu-
tionally.
Austria, therefore, moves toward the East
in those important countries under the i'm
pulse of her own ambition and thrust for
ward by the policy encouraged at Berlin,
and all that stands in the way is political
honeycomb of pigmy States guarded by
Russia. Germany may very likely say that.
Russia shall have just share, but that be-
yond that she must yield, and if there is
any unpleasantness between Russian and
Prussian councils it is because of this a,tl-
tude of Germany, which, though it opposes
one of England's enemies, is not at all the
same as friendliness toward England. In
deed, the German support of Austrian
progress in that way is as distinctly in
imical to England as to Russia

Nordenskjold's Voyage and the Rescue
Expedition.

In to-day's HERALD are published both the
full particulars OF the condition in which
the ship Vega passed the winter in the Arc
tic ice and the record of the loss on the
coast OF Japan of the steamer sent to the
rescue Of the explorer and to help him out
of the peris of the Polar Sea- BY way of
Arctic seas and unknown icy regions,
around misty capes whose craggy outlines
were lost in fog and storm, over shoals
where q safe way was only found by the
constant use Of the lead, the Vega passed
safely to winter harbor within
but a few days steaming Of Behr-
ing Strait, and thence, when the
summer came, passed, it is fair to suppose.
easily out to the ocean. But the rescue ship
went by the Suez Canal and the tropical
seas and the open Pacific, and has gone to
pieces on stormy coast. 1t will be noted
that in one of the communications from
Nordenskj3ld which we give to-day he
expresses himself emphatically to the effect
that IAN expedition of rescue is unneces-
sary," and gives distinct statement how
we'll his stores and coal have held out. Con-
will not entail any hardship upon the ex-
plorers, and is not on event disastrous to
discovery. Nordenskj0ld's narrative of his
wintering is one Of great interest.
Our readers will remember that we gave
in May last the last word heard from Pro-
fessor Nordenskjold previous to his dreary
winter in the ice on the Siberian coast.
That last account included the report of the
adventures OF the Vega from her start until
her arrival at the mouth Of the Iona River,
and brought the news down to August 26
Until that time all had gone well, and the
voyage of the little ship was not differ
ent from other voyages in compara-
gerous waters, and Nordenskj6id, from the
progress actually made, was sanguine that
he would get through before the summer
was over. Then the veil was drawn. The
Vega did not appear in Japan by the time
she would have been due there if she had
got through. 1t was evident, therefore,
that she had failed in that respect; but that
certainty entaiied some anxiety as to
whether that was the worst of the story, for
she might not only have failed to get
through, but she might have gone down or
gone to pieces and all hands perished. add
ing their names to the list of the martyrs Of
exploration. But the minds OF men were put
at ease on that head u good while ago. and
the letters that we print to-day from Nor
denskjold to his friends in Sweden, and
which left the ship as late as February 20
in the present year, tell the Story OF his
wintering. In these the chronicle is taken
up at the point where it was discontinued
in the former record, and the ship is carried
to the point where she was caught by the
ice and held, only one hundred and fifty
miles from Behring Strait. 1t is evident
from the chronicle that winter in the Arc
tic regionswas never gone through with less
distress than was endured by the hardy
Swedes.

Ohio Politics.


General Garfield has given HERALD COR
respondent at some length his views of the
philosophy of Ohio politics. He regards the
State as sort of temporary stopping place
for the Eastern democratic voter on his way
further West; it this happy wanderer re-
mains long enough in Ohio he turns repub-
lican; but, apparently, as soon as he changes
his party he removes from the State. It is
on this theory that General Garfield ac-
counts for the fact that the democrats do
sometimes carry the State, and that it is so
uncertain that he even fears they may carry
it this fall.
He holds further that the greenback
movement owes large number of its ad-
herents to the Greeley movement, the green
hackers being, he thinks, republicans who
went off after Greeley and were ashamed
afterward to go back into their old party,
but would not become democrats. This
year, he hopes, many of them will come
and he believes the democratic State
rights notions are going to scare them
home. We doubt if he is correct in
this. The republican party was made up
of federalists and State rights men; or, to
put it in other words, of centralizationists
and Observation-Disclosures and now that the
republican leaders all over the country are
taking very extreme ground in favor Of GEN.
tralizing power in the federal government
they are. in point Of fact, more likely to
lose than to gain adherents Without
the help of State rights voters the re-
publican party could never have elected q
President; and the republican leaders are
on dangerous ground when they demand
further extension of the powers of the fed
eral government They will even find it
difficult to defend the federal marshal and
supervisor laws, of the use made OF which
recent Investigations make bad show.
The Springfield Republicans comments on
this head will have the concurrence of
great many republican voters. It
remarks of the facts brought out by
tho Wallace committee in New Eng
and:-''The plain. unvarnished truth
stands out boldly in evidence that some Of

employees from exercising the right of suf-
frage free from interference. It is dis
graceful state of affairs, but we are forced
to the admission that the federal super
visors were employed not to keep peace at
the polls, but TO keep anti-republican voters
away; that these supervisors, instead of pre-
venting fraud, encouraged it by aiding to
persecute all opposed to the republican can
didates. 1t is fact developed by Senator
Wallace's committee that no matter who
offered republican ballot it was accepted
and no questions asked; whereas some of
the best men. socially and morally, and all
others who were at all active in opposition
to the republican party, were carefully
watched. and their every move dogged by
paid spoilers"
General Garfield relates an interesting
conversation with General Grant, apropos
of the talk about his denomination. The
reasons which he gives why the republicans
might insist on Grant we shall consider ut
