Mr.. jefferson Davis is q singulaTly inoppOr-
tune person. No man was ever so unfortunate
in the times and circumstances of his public
appearances, and no man ever failed so to
hold together. He seems to have the ability
to be conspicuous, but TO fall just short
always of being great. With little more
balance he might have been famous; as 1t Is,
he is merely notorious. With little less self
consciousness he might have passed for mar
tyr; as 1t is, he Is pretty generally set down an
asa. 1t is hardly possible that any other man In
his position would have undertaken to Skip
away from his pursuers at the close of the
war in female guise still less possible that
he should have gwen occasion for the sleep
ing-car scandal, and before that was cold
make speech glorifying the women of the
Confederacy because he had never seen
one that had been reconstructed; and almost
incOnceivable that any other man who had
made these particular blunders should, while
posing before his own people as n martyr, SO
practice upon the credulity of still another
woman rs to make himself her legatce to
the exclusions of her lawful heirs. 1t was
Artemus Ward, we believe. who said "it
"would have been five dollars In JEFF Davis's
"pocket if he'd never been born" However
that may be, il seems certain that 1t would
have been more than that in his pocket If he
had not survived the war. 1t is manifestly
one of the deepest revcnges ever brought In
by the whirlgig of Time, that while Abraham
Lincoln died by the assassin's hand at the
very elimination of his work. in the fulness
of his fame, Jefferson Davis was spared by
the magnanimity of his captors to illustrate
the littleness of his own character and
emblazon the folly of his career There
is no man now living to whom silence and
retirement would be SO becOmingj none who
so persistently breaks the one and emerges
from the other with such invariably fatal eff
feet to himself and his friends. Like the
tramp bounds SO Omaha, he Is kicked at every
appearance and like the same tramp, he
seems bent on reaching a place IN history, "if
"the seat of ais trousers only holds out"
His latest public appearance is in the letter
to the editor of q Mississippi paper, which
was published In yesterdays TRIBUNE.
Therein he declines, ut great and unnecessary
length. to be, a candidate before the Missis-
sippi Legislature for United States Senator

Tie best part of the platform adopted yes
t.rday 10y the Massachusetts Republican Con-
ycution is that in which the responsibility for
a revival of sectional issues, so often charged
uron the Republican party. is fastened upon
the Democrats, where it belongs. Democrats,
and not Republicans, were the first to
revive war memories and war Issues
Every candid voter will admit that
the close of the last Presidential contest lett
the people Of the country ready, rs rule, to
think well of the South and to look upon the
questions OF the war as forever closed. That
feeling found ITS extreme expression IN the
Southern policy Of President Hayes, and for
time the North approved 1t. 1t was
when il was made clear that the South would
reward Cancellation only with intolerance, and
while preaching peace abroad had established
the rule of tho shotgun at home that the
good sense ard manlincss OF the North re-
volted. Again the South revived war issues
by declaring. through some of its spokcsmcn,
that every trace of war legislation should be
swept from the statute book. and tbs Rcpub-
can party was responsible FOR TeneNal of

for, but the Convention has chosen strong
candidate nevertheless. Mr.. Long is young

The meeting of the Republican Central Com
mittco last night was large and enthusiastic.
The gathering soon became a personal demon
strlticn in honor of the Republican candidate
for Governor, who is member of the Com
mitiec.
The opening of the American Institute Fair,
which takes place to-day, is always an event
of interest TO many thousands of our
people. Ii seems likely, however, that several
days must olapse before the Fair is fully pre-
pared for Its visitors.
The Republican majority over all on joint
ballot in thc Maine Legislature, which elects
all the state officers except the Governor, is
81. This figure will keep the Democratic
party IN a bad humor until the Ohio election
and then they'll be in worse humor than
ever.
The prospect of prosperous opera
season al the Academy Of Music is set forth
elsewhere with most convincing details.
Nearly all the boxes and seats that are usu-
ally taken by subscription have been already
engaged. Some account is given also of the
singers whom Mr.. Mlpesol proposes to bring
with him. and lis methods of management.
The scheme 10 hold an lIish National Con-
ventlon to promote the Home Rale cause may
be retarded by the discouraging terms in
which Mr. Mitchell Henry refers to II.
Although Mr. Henry is an Englishman, his
wealth and public services have rendered hm
influential with the Irish people. He doubt
less discerns that as conventions are prohibited
in Ireland by an old statute, 1t Is expedient,
Just now, to avoid any such complication.
The Aldermen made merry yesterday at the
expense of the Mayor. When the nomination
of Mr.. Hawley as Commissioner Wheeler's
successor was received, one Alderman moved
that the paper be returned to the Mayor
with the thanks of the Boards another
approved of that idea, except that he did not
10 have the Mayor thanked another, and the
most facetious of all, moved that the nomina-

At recent meeting of the park academy
of sciences, M. Tresca gave an account of some
experiments in blowing by electricity which
he witnessed at Sermaise, in the Marne. A
Gramme machine, making 1900 revolutions
per minute, and driven by steam engine,
was connected to a second Gramme at
distance of 40 yards, and caused the
latter to revolve at the rate of lao
revolutions TO the minute, the electricity pro-
duced by the first machine being thus CON
verted into work. The second machine was
connected to third at distance of PIG
yards, and these two worked cables attached
to double Brabant pillow. According to NJ.
Tresca, the experiment was very successful,
the work accomplished representing the
equivalent of three horse power, while one
half of the motive power obtained from
the steam engine was really transferred to
distance of more than 1000 yards from
the furnace.

The initiatory steps were taken yesterday
to establish commercial league representing
the bushes interests of the entire state. The
movement is an important one and has been
already too long delayed. In the insane eff
forts to cut each others Threats by local
rivalry, the fact has been overlooked that
common enemy might sever the jugular vein
of the State. The danger of such a result
has become sufficiently alarming to secure
union of forces that did not heretofore exist,
and the action yesterday was significant. 1t
was formal declaration that the people of
this section propose to form a league, often

has become not matter of choice, but one
of necessity. We are glad that our people are

duty from literal Interpretation of the
editors parting injunction to conduct the
paper as we thought best.' We further
wish to cay that we are not responsible for
the previous political complexion or utter
ances of this paper, and, it is un-
necessary to add, for its future po-
sition. We also think it superfuous to say
that the editor is not responsible for it's polit-
zeal sayings this week. 1t may be case of
misplaced confidence" yet We emphatically
believe in the old saying, with single addi-
ton, that all is fair in love, war and politics.
We would like to place at the head of these
columns the Republican State ticket and
platform. but Mr. McClintock, who never
does things by halves, has electrotyped his
own platform and ticket, nailed, soldered
and weighted it to the form, go the readers
will have to take the will for the deed. If
there is anything in this issue but what is

know that there is something wrong in Den

Revolt of a Portion of the Army and Navv
at Vera Cruz.
CITY OF MEXICO, June 3O.-On the Goth
part of the crew of the Mexican war steamer
Liberia, at Vera Cruz, mutinied and seized
the steamer while the commander was on
shore. simultaneously some officers of the
Vera Cruz garrison attempted a revolt.
Nine of the rebels were killed. The steamer
Liberia went to sea and other steamers went
in pursuit. While the government has ap
parently mastered the situation since the re-
volt of the garrison reign of terror has
prevailed. All merchants are hostile to the
government in consequence of the passage
OF the law against contraband trade, and
they have ever since been in state of Quasi
revolt. 1t is generally believed the revolters
killed were assassinated in the guard house,
on the prete1t that they attempted an escape.
The resignation of Seamacona, Mexican
minister to the United States, was officially
denied.

Boy Drowned a. Newport

On Sunday afternoon, about 3 o'clock,
two boys named Willie Strand and Elias
Scofeld, residing at Newport, went to
slough tributary to the river to enjoy bath.
Scoield entered boat, while Strand dis
robed and jumped into the water. After
swimming about for time Willie seized
hold of the chain attached to the boat, but
was drawn under by the suction created by
its motion and drowned. The body was re-
covered soon after but life was extinct Will
lie was the s IN of widow, was fourteen
years old, and an industrious, dutiful son.
he was almost the only support of his moth
