Is IT PossIBLEq

We find i. very difficult to believe the
statement that Uncle Samuel Tilden has
agreed to tap fresh barrel in the interest
of Hancock, and to give the latter the ben
eft of his political experience in the ap-
preaching campaign. We are inclined to
think that Uncle Samuel has had his own
soup so very hot that be has lost his interest
In cookery for the present, and that he will
probably not be himself again until he has
had an opportunity to fleece somebody
roundly, after the example of his friend
Cyrus Field in the Elevated Railroad al.
fair. But if it should prove true that he
has accepted the direction of the New
York fight, on the understanding that he is
to be the power behind the throne in the
event of Hancosk's election, it is ques-
tionable whether the gain to be derived
from his astuteness will not be more than
counterbalanced by the rancor his par
ticipation must impart to the Tammany
faction. 1t is not probable that Kelly and
his friends would join hands with Tilden
under any circumstances, and certainly not
to elevate him to power vicariously. The
whole story, in fact, Is open to suspicion,
and requires more confederation than it
seems likely to obtain.

TURKEY FESTIVE.


The Porte has not unnaturally rebelled
at the advice given it by the Berlin Con.
ference in regard to the surrender of ter.
ritory to Greece, and a disposition is shown
to retort upon the Powers the failure OF
treaty stipulations for which they are UNI
doubtedly responsible. Turkey is ap.
parently on the eve of dissolution, but
still she cannot be expected to take the
spade in hand and dig her own grave, ana
this is what the Powers have invited her
to do. 1t is intimated that il she refuses
to surrender the territory demanded by
Greece, the latter is able to take it. As to
that we are by no means SO sure. The
Greeks in modern times have shown them
selves inferior fighters to the Turks, and
they are almost as destitute OF means. II
Turkey and Greece are left to fight it ont,
the end may be such as to astonish the
diplomatists. and if Greece should receive
sound drubbing it would certainly serve
her right, for she has displayed no quail
ties but greed and poltroonery since the
late troubles of the Porte commenced.

side adhered to had been triumphant, the
adhesion would have been held justifiable.
Ii the side adhered to had been
defeated, the adhesion might have
been punished as crime. But at
the moment it is clear that every
man in authority would have been COM
PEELED to judge for himself on which side
he would stand, and therefore General
Hancock cannot be blamed for expressing
his opinion in the absence of any authori-
tative guidance to duty. Whatever sig
nifcance this incident has is of another
kind 1t may not have been fault on
his part, but it assuredly was strong in
dication of his political bent, and an indi-
cation which fully accerds with all that is
known concerning his proclivities. 1t
shows that the mental tendencies which
at the close of the rebellion led him to be-
come the willing instrument of Andrew
Johnsons Copperheadism, still prevailed
with him, and that his instincts moved
him in the direction of anti Union politics
| rather than in the other direction. In
short, it serves to show that the Southern
Brigadiers knew very well what sort of a
man they were supporting at Cincinnati,
and that they were by no means altogether
governed by admiration for his record as a

HANCOCK AND 1876.

The story about Hancock's statement
to General Sherman In 1876 has received
so much confirmation as to leave little
doubt of its truth. 1t is stated that Gen
eraI Sherman wrote to him soon after the
Presidential election, asking his opinion
upon the situation, and that he then de-
clared it as his belief that Tilden had
been elected, and added that if Tilden
should be sworn in he lHancock) should
consider it his duty to obey his orders.
As this is alleged to have occurred pre-
vious to the appointment of the Electoral
Commission, and when there was no GER
tain guide to political opinion, it is evil
dent that no serious accusation against
Hancock can be made out of it. The
question whether, in the event of the then
threatened conflict, military commander
should obey the Senate or the House, must
have been entirely one for individual
determination. Subsequently the char
acter Of that determination would have
been defined by the outcome. If the

THE SOUTHERN DUEL.

Recently it was stated that an anti
dueling society had been organized in one
of the Southern States. Yesterday our
dispatches contained the account of fatal
duel in that region, marked by all the
ferocitY, injustice, and brutality, which
characterize the genuine duel everywhere
A quarrel appears to have been persist
emily forced upon an old man, and on
accepting the challenge he was taken out
and murdered according to all the rules of
the code. The survival of the duel at the
South is one of the most damaging testi-
monials against the civilization of the
Southern people. 1t does not signify how
the practice originated, the fact is incon.
testable that no people can advance far
beyond barbarism who cling to such a
system. The superficiality OF much of
what passes for civilization in France is
shown in the persistence with which the
French cling to dueling. In England and
in the Northern and Western States it has
lOuE SiuCc uCGH dOditOuCuy DtCduSc IL has
been outgrown. The respect for human
life which is necessary to the rejection OF
these bloodthirsty combats can only come
by generations OF advancing culture
Where that respect is wanting, as at the
South and on the frontiers, the pre-
vailing tone of society is low. In
all such cases there is great local
pride, for local pride of the kind which
finds expression in extravagant and fam
tastic notions about "honor" is thor
oughly characteristic of barbarsm, how
ever unpleasant the fact may be to those
whom it concerns. Savaees are always
great sticklers for the kind of honor they
believe in, and always prompt to wipe out
supposed affronts with blood. 1t is GER
tainly time that an anti-dueling society
was established at the South, but it is ex-
tremely doubtful whether any attempt of
the kind can succeed until the Southerners
have become so far civilized as to abstain,
not alone from dueling, but from the po-
htical brutalities which have disgraced
their section ever since the close OF the
rebellion, and which they appear to regard
as perfectly defensible. a society in which
the shooting, hanging and iogging OF ne
groes is thought entirely justiiable, on
political grounds, cannot be expected to
be capable of advanced and enlightened
views on the subject of dueling. In fact
the South has long way to go before it
catches up with the North, and we should
be pleased to see some realizing sense of its
deficiencies exhibited by its people.

POLITICAL ASSESSMENTS.

A story comes from Washington to the
effect that a clerk in one of the Govern
ment Departments was told recently on
drawing his salary that twenty dollars
would be withheld from him as campaign
contribution, since he had taken no notice
of a circular soliciting similar aid. We
| hope the story is not true. If it is, the in
| ference is unavoidable that the money
withheld from this clerk, or from any per-
son in a similar position, was stolen, as
literally as if it had been flched by a pick
pocket. For it is perfectly clear that no
authority exists anywhere for the with
holding of any part of the wages which per-
sons in the employ of the Government
earn. If the head of private firm were
to tell his employees that he intended to
withhold twenty dollars apiece from their
wages in order to make campaign fund,
he would very soon be made to understand
that he possessed no power to confscate
other peoples property in that summary
way. The Government service ought not
to rest upon different basis, and to the
extent that it may or does it is corruptly
and improperly administered We trust
that President Hayes has not so com.
pletely abandoned civil service reform
as to permit so gross an abuse of au.
thority as the compulsory levying of
political assessments constitutes The most
evil feature of all such abuses consists
In the facility with which they can
be perpetrated. Under system which
permits offices to be vacated without cause,
and which consequently enables every de-
partmental head. and every member of
Congress, to practice favoritism and
tyranny without let or hindrance, it is pos
sible to compel acquiescence in the most
outrageous practices by holding the threat
of removal in terrorem over the employees.
A government clerk who might be invol-
unfairly assessed in the manner spoken of,
would be obliged to smother his indigna-
ton and disgust, for ne would be aware
that the first attempt at ventilating the
wrong done him would be punished by dis
missal from his place. For such abuses,
therefore, there can be no remedy but that
of unsparing exposure. The press alone
can face and withstand the tyranny Of
political partisanship, and it is its duty to
visit all such misdeeds with sharp and
vehement censure. 1t is the more neces-
sary to call attention to this case because
it has been several times categorically as
serted that the abuse of political assess
ments upon ofice-holders at Washington
had been reformed, and because President
Hayes himself has at least on one occasion
given positive orders for its suppression.
OF course it must be perfectly idle to think
or talk of reforming the civil service so
long as practices of this kind are permitted
or approved
