We have read with much concern The statement
made b. the Rev. Mr.. Talmage To the synod which
is trying him. in which ne sets forth the supeIhu-
man labors which be has undertaken. He says tina;
he is pastor of a church that he is president of
lay college that lac is editor of a newspaper; that
mi, private correspondence Is beyond his capacity ;
that he issues one or two books year that he
does his fall share OF work in the lyccums of the
cities that he responds far a. possible TO the
calls that the platforms OF charitable institutions
make upon him that his physician IS constantly
warning him that there Is limit 10 human cndur-
ance Under these pressing crcumst ances he thinks
il rather hard that he should be 30 severely criti
ci,ed. 50 closely watched and 50 much tried 10y
Svnods. Perhaps so. 1t is for the respectable
ecclesiastical bodies winch have Mr. Talmage III
been preferred against him. But putting him and
them aside las It never occurred TO the reverend
gent eman that he might be dong altogether too
much. Hercules himself we believe, attended to

might he not preach better sermonsf Or if he
would preach fewer sermons might he not shine

and the presidency, might he not make fewer mis-
takes as an editor Or If he should leave editing
might not his books be more meritorious 7 III not

bothered, might he not get INTO fewer scrapes :
These are questions for his consideration-it is
not for us to attempt to answer them. We put them

mcton dispatches the other day as the alleged
"author" of the petitions which Congress is
receiving. asking for the payment to soldiers oi
the difference between the pay they actually
received and the amount they would have
received if they had been paid In gold
The meaning of the statement, rs shown
by the context, was that he was
the author OF the petitions, hut
Mr. Weaver. being anxious to get INTO the
newspapers. insisted on believing that he had
been charged with being the author also
OF the signatures to the petitions ana
charged upon the House with personal ex-
planation. Having denied with great fcrociiy
what The TRIBUNE did not say, Mr.. Weaver
sat down, only to hear the House break out
into general laugh at his expense.
The average politician does not mind abuse,
but even a crazy Greenbacker does not ENJOY
being laughed at rs fool. That laugh OF the
House will probably keep Mr. Weaver in his
seat for some time TO come.
There was an interesting debate yesterday
in the Senate upon the Voorhees, resolution

causes of tho negro exodus. Mr. Windows

New-York tribune., 1879-12-19

The almost positive statements made in
some of the New-York papers yesterday that
General Grant has accepted the Presidency
of the Interoceanic Canal Company prove to
be untrue. Admiral Ammen. who was given
as the authority for some of these statements,
admits this, aud General Grant himself, on
being questioned. abandons his reserve long
enough TO deny that he has agreed to take the
place. This leaves the subject just where it was
before, with great pressure upon the Gen
eral from one side to abandon the hard and
trying ways Of politics for the honorable posi-
tion rendered him, and from the other to
allow himself to become q candidate for a
third term. IL Is a strange situation, which
the public watches with great curiosity.

4 Mistake OF the Evening Post.

Our respected contemporary, the Evening
Post, asks for another assurance from Gen
eral Grant that he will not again be Presi-
Dental candidate. 1t thinks letter from
the General is required. We reluctantly,
but positively, disagree with the Post 1t
is applying in the wrong quarter. What is
needed is letter from the republican
party.
General Grant has shown plainly and
positively that he neither seeks nor wants
the nomination. So far as he is concerned
there is nothing more to say. But every
few days some republican politician-Gen-
eral Garfield or Senator Hoar or Governor
Jewell or Governor Shepherd-turns up,
who says. "Oh, but the republican party
may need him, and if it unanimously calls
for him he will not refuse" That is
perfectly true. General Grant would like
to remain out of politics. but if the party
to which he is attached should unanimously
call upon him to become once more its
candidate we think it at least possible he
might, out of q feeling of gratitude to it for
its past favors, reluctantly obey it's CON-
mand. 1t needs, however, no letter at this
time from General Grant to say that either
he would or he would not sacrifice his own
preferences in such contingency. Clearly
he ought to wait until the event occurs be-
fore deciding.
Meantime, rs the Eoening Post reopens
this matter, we will ask it two questions:-
First, does it, as an influential organ of the
republican party. believe-whata good many
republican leaders assert-that it may be
expedient and necessary to renominate
General Grant and second, will it support
General Grant If he is renominated by the
Republican Convention? We should be
glad of definite reply to these two ques-
tions, and we believe the public would be
very much interested in reading what the
Post may have to say.

look for the Presidency from precisely the
same ground. and the rivalry between them
being thus of personal rather than public
character, and involving no questions OF
policy, unless one is willing to give way to
the other each makes the others nomina-
tion difficult, if not impossible. If either
of the two stood upon a policy dis
tinctly his own this might improve his
chances. If either had the support of the
administration that might, perhaps, turn
the scale. AS matters stand, the other cam

satisfaction the spectacle of the two fore

The Rumors and Humors or Syracuse

The kumOrs and HumOrs OF Syracuse
Both the contending factions at Syracuse
evidently felt yesterday that it was danger
GUS to blunder, and that, in the Convention
at least. conciliatory course was advisa-
BILE. The Tilden people were especially
cautious, and showed by their course that
they are not so sure of their ground as to
make it safe for them to assume i'm
mediate and unconditional command of the
Convention, as Mr. Conkling did at Sara
toga.
Outside of the Convention. however,
there was less restraint, and both sides
expressed themselves freely, Tammanys
caucus openly declaring determination to
secede and hold an independent conven-
ton if Governor Robinson should be nomi-
mated BY the way, is it not little
''strong," as it were, for the Lieutenant
Governor of the State to publicly denounce
the Governor in political meeting? No
doubt Mr.. Dorsheimer has serious griev-
ances, but proper respect for his official
position would, we should think, lead him
to decorous silence, or if he was convinced
that the country could not get on without
hearing his voice he might have resigned
his Office before going to the Convention.
Among the numerous reasons given by
Tammany men why they should vote
against Robinson we notice that of Mr..
Schell, who said it would be degrading
to his manhood" to vote tor the
Governor. That sounds we'll, anyhow.
NJ ~ o~-oco1 No-a.co. D1h;p.op
apparently on the ground that ''Hayes went
into the White House by fraud" We are
more than ever persuaded Of the soundness
of the advice we gave the Tammany people
some weeks ago, to be content with making
public their opposition to Governor Robin
son, but enter into no explanations.
During the afternoon the fact that the
Kings county delegation holds the balance
of power and that its members were ex-
tremely reticent caused suspicion that
General Slocum might be the coming man,
and on this Slocum brass band began to SER
enade the Brooklyn delegates, on the chance
that they would stick to the General. At q
late hour, however, our reports say that the
Kings county men are divided, and part Of
them have determined to support Governor
Robinson, whose cha nces, the HERALD cor
respondent telegraphs, are believed to have
slightly improved during last evening.
In the Committee on Contested Seats the
policy has prevailed which will admit the
Tammany delegation to-day, the inten-
ton being to bind them to support the
action of the Convention, by making them,
without opposition. a part of it. AS the
Convention reassembles at an early hour
this morning it will probably complete its
work during the day.
One of the curiosities of the occasion is
the number of active anti -Tilden men at
Syracuse who were Jealous Tilden men at
St. Louis in 1876 Why is this thus as the
late Artemus Ward used to ask.
