THE ATTACK ON MIR. BAYARD.

The gentlemen who issued SO fiery and
truculent card denouncing Senator Bay
ard for stating willful falsehoods in regard
to the New York Custom-house admins.
tration, appear to have made the serious
mistake OF neglecting the advice of Davy
Crockett. They in fast did not, before
going ahead, make sure that they were
right. They accused Senator Bayard of
wiliful and malicious falsehood on the
strength of a newspaper report, and on
the assumption that he had not contra
dicted that report. 1t appears now that
he claims to have contradicted it as soon
as he knew of its existence, and that he
denies having made any such statements
as were attributed TO him. This is hardly
second Morey case, but it appears to be
one IN which some newspaper has sought
to appease grudge against Senator Conk.
ling and his friends by putting inventions
into the mouth of Senator Bayard, who,
as their political opponent, might be sup
posed to be more or less rancorous. No
doubt it is well in such cases to follow the
instructions of General Garfield, and
hunt the rascal down." but it is nee
essary to ascertain in the first place who
the rascal is, and this Mr.. Bayard's accusers
clearly failed to do.

TIE PANAMA CANAL.

If it is true that Secretary Thompson
has accepted the Craftsmanship Of the
American Commission of the Panama Canal
Company, we think there can be no ques-
ton as to the extreme improperly of his
retention of seat in the Cabinet. There
appear to be some persons at Washington
who regard the tenure of these two posi-.
tions as entirely practicable, and who
look upon the offer said to have been made
to Mr.. Thompson as in some way guaran.
tee for the control of the canal by the
United States. We cannot accept this
view of the case at all. To us it appears
perfectly evident that NJ. Lesseps, with
his characteristic melodramatic predilec.
tions, has imagined it possible to disarm
criticism and opposition in America by
offering this position to member of the
Cabinet, and at the same time to give the
stock of the canal lift by causing it to be
believed that it will be largely an Amer
lean enterprise. If therefore Mr. Thomp.
son accepts the offer made to him, and re.
tains his seat in the Cabinet, he will be
converting his office into an advertising
agency for NJ. Lesseps, and lending the
credit of the United States Government to
private enterprise entirely in the hands
of foreigners, and over which it possesses
no control whatever. The scandal of such
situation does not need to be empha-
sized. It would be disgrace to the
country. Mir. Thompson has perfect
right to accept any position he pleases, as
private citizen, but as :. Cabinet officer
and head OF one of the Departments of
Government he has no such right, and If he
does not realize this we are tolerably con-
fident President Hayes will do so for him.

success of the stock subscriptions in Europe.
If Mr.. Lesseps had really received applica-

in Europe he would hardly think it neces-
sary to resort to SO palpable stock obbing
device as this selection of an American
Cabinet officer for the Guardianship of

THE okLAHomA INVASION


The Government evidently has a some
what serious difficulty on its hands in the
threatened invasion Of the Indian Terri
tory. The so.called colonists are said to
be not only numerous but we'll armed and
thoroughly organized, and if it is proposed
TO drive them out of the Territory by force
it is tolerably clear that the troops on the
ground will have to be largely reinforced.
On the other hand, if a temporizing policy
IS adopted with the invaders two things
are to be feared. One of them is an In
dian war, and the other is the similar in.
vasion OF whatever other Indian territory
may hereafter take the fancy of restless
land-hunters. In fact it seems very neces-
sary that the authority of the United
States should be indicated in
this case, and that unless it is
indicated it viii soon become impossible
to make any arrangement whatever with
the Indians, because the Government will
be inpotent to carry out its own treaties.
The Oklahoma invaders are apparently
reckless and daredevil men, who care
nothing at all for the authority of the Gov
eminent or its honor, and who are disposed
to seize land wherever they can find it,
and to look upon Indian treaties as mere
waste paper. l. Is time that such bad
citizens and lawless mischief-makers should
be given lesson that cannot be mistaken,
and we are of opinion that the Government
will make very grave mistake if it does
not at once put forth all its power to de-
feat this outrageous invasion of the Indian
Territory, and to punish the projectors of

reasons for dissatisfaction with the choice

been held, the Assembl y would have had
to decide between the two claimants, and
there can be no doubt that, in accordance
with party usages in all s1ch cases, the
Republicans, having the majority, would
have given the seat to the representative
of their party. In that event Dir. Good
year might have felt sore, whereas he now
knows that his case is completely settled.

THE GUSHING OF JOHN KELLY.

By joint action the Republicans and
anti Tammany Democrats of New York
city have succeeded in ousting John Kelly
from the Office of Comptroller, and great
iubilation has thereupon ensued. Whether
this victory promises any real relief to the
taxpayers of New York is, however, a
question which does not seem TO be de-
termined, and therefore exultation may be
premature. Kelly has sustained loss of
prestige which may or may not prove fatal
to his influence as "Boss." From the
fact that he still retains the control of
Tammany Hall, however. and from re-
membrance of the other fact that he was a
"Boss" before he held Office, we think it
very doubtful whether he has really suf-
fered fatal reverse. Nor must it be for

TIE CASE OF FIrz,JoH PORTER

Randolph's proposed amendment to the
bill for the relief of Fitz-John Porter APP
pears to US to be wholly inadequate to
meet the requirements of the case. He
proposes that Porter shall be reinstated in
the army, but with the provision that he
shall receive no higher rank than that of
Colonel, and no pay, compensation or al
lowances for the time intervening between
his removal and restoration. Like all
compromises this is unsatisfactory, and
moreover the case is not one for cont
promise. II is a question of facts,
which are now so clearly ascertained
that there can be no justification for
doubt III the minds Of the au.
thorities. II Porter was found
guilty with justice on his first trial. then
he ought not to be reinstated in the army.
Ii his first sentence was based on misap,
prehensions, and was therefore unjust to
him, then he ought to be reinstated with
all his rights and emoluments. In such
case it would be most unreasonable to de-
prive him of the pay and allowances which
be would have received had he not
been wronged by an unjust sentence. If
the sentence was wrong, in short, nothing
but the fullest restitution can compensate
the victim OF it, or restore his reputation.
To merely reinstate him in the army, but
without adequate rank, ard without
his back pay, would be to throw doubt
upon his vindication. 1t would be to war
rant the injurious inference that his inno-
cence was still dubious, but that he had
been pardoned conditionally from motives
of commiseration. General Porter himself
can surely not be a party to so strange and
injurious compromise. In his position it
would be preferable to remain where he is
rather than accept proposition which
suggests. doubt OF his ability to clear
himself wholly from the aspersions cast
upon him. We believe that the evidence
which was brought out at the second In
quiry into his case demanded his complete
restoration, for it showed that he had
been grossly belied and misrepresented.
and that in truth he had acted as faith
full and gallant soldier. The Government
ought to propose his restoration, however,
and it ought not to subject him to the
fresh humiliation of such compromise as
that which Randolph hiss now introduced
IN the House.
