Tor THE PRESIDENTIAL YEAR.
:. THE LEADING AMERICAN NEWS
PAPER"
THE NEW YORK
T r | 3 i N E
FOR 1880.


During the coming Presidential year The Tribune
will be a more effective agency than ever for telling
the news best worth knowing, and for enforcing
sound politics. From the day the war closed it has
been most anxious for an end of sectional strife.
But it saw two years ago. and was the first persist
emily to Proclaim the new danger to the country
from the revived alliance of the Solid South and
Tammany Hall. Against that danger it sought to
rally the old party of Freedom and the Union. 1t
began by demanding the abandonment of personal
dislikes and set the example. 1t called for an end
to attacks upon each other instead of the enemy ;
and for the heartiest agreement upon whatever tit
candidates the majority should put up against the
common foe. Since then the tide of disaster has
been turned back every doubtful state has been
won and the omens for National victory were never
more cheering.
THE TRIBUNE'S POSITION.
OF The Trbunc's share in all this those speak
most enthusiastically who have most of the
struggle. 1t will faithfully portray the warming
phases of the campaign now beginning. 1t will
earnestly strive that the party OF Freedom Union
and Public Faith may select the man surest to win,
and surest to make good President. But in this
crisis it can conceive of no nomination this party
could make that would not be preferable to the best
that could possibly be supported by the Solid South
and Tammany Hall.
The Tribune is now spending much labor and
money than before to hold the distinction it has
enjoyed of the largest circulation among the best
peOp?e. 1t secured, and means to retain it by be-

rangement the most systematic.

THE SEMI-WEEKLY TRIBUN

is by far the most successful Semi Weekly in the
country, having fonr times the circulation OF any
other in New York, 1t is especially adapted 10 the
large class of intelligent, professional business
readers too far from New York to depend on our
papers for the daily news, who nevertheless want
the editorials, correspondence, book reviews, scion
tic matter, lectures, literary mscellaney, etc., for
which The Tribune is famous. Like The Weekly
it contains sixteen pages, and is in convenient form
for binding.

VOTES ONLY MUST DETERMINE.
EAlbany Argus.l


Neither directly nor indirectly is
the Democratic party going to be done
out of the Presidential election by any
other way than by a majority of elected
electors honestly chosen by their op-
poncnts. The Democratic party will
not let itself be counted out, litigated
out, commissioned out or legfslated out
of the next election; neither will 1t let
itself be done out of it by bullying,
chicanery or pronunciamento. If the
Republicans can gain the election by
votes it will be theirs. If the Demo-
Gratis gain it by votes it will be theirs
and they will hold it. Votes and votes
only will determine the result. The
talk about the Democrats in Congress
intending wrong in the count is no
matter. It,comes from those who COM
mitted wrong in tho count of 1876. 1t
is the mingled confession and appre-
hension of their pIans-for conciences
they can not be supposed to have. But
talk OF getting any one in without
election everywhere, and outside of or
over Congress as the counting body,
would we'll be abandoned. 1t does not
scare Democrats. 1t can not be done.
The associatian of Grants name with
such talk makes the talk weaker in
stead Of stronger.

A CURIOUS DISCOVERY.
missouri Republican, February %.

missouri Republican,, February 27.l
A body of workmen engaged in
building a new sewer in the vicinity OF
Twentieth and O'Fallon streets, dis
covered two specimens of fossil yester-
day, the most remarkable that has
been unearthed in this country for
many a day. 1t Is probably not
generally known that the sewer Is be-
ing dug through the solid limestone
rock twelve feet below the street level.
Away down under the ground near the
of the rock they came upon
two human feet firmly planted In the
stone. A part of the left shank remain
ed, but of the other member only the
foot was In distinct outline.
The two pieces are distinct from each
other. They were found In a horizontal
position extending straight into the
body of the rock, as If the two feet had
become petriaed while the object was
than the knee remains, the other
having apparently entered into and
become part of the other limestone
formation. Possibly there will be some
doubt as to whether the formations are
really what they seem, but out of fifty
or more intelligent gentlemen who
visited grocery store in that vicinity
where the objects were on exhibition
yesterday, not one doubted that they
were the remains of q human being.
The two pieces are of u darker color
than the stone aud about twice as
heavy.
The left foot and bone weigh 123
pounds, and the right, which contains
only a jagged portion OF the ankle, u
pounds. The toes, joints, and even
the calf of the leg, can be traced. One
of the feet is considerably enlarged ut
one side and is rough and dfscolored,
which some of the gentlemen who
viewed it said was due to the putre-
faction which preceded the petrifac.
ton. The general color of the to men,
bers is like that of straw. The specf-
mems are in the possession of Michael
Cullinane, the contractor, who Is doing
the sewer work, and were on exhibf-
ton yesterday afternoon at Hauretly's
grocery, corner of Twentieth and
O'Fallon. How the feet came to he in
such u place and position Is question
for archseologists.

A LETTER FROM MIR. TILDEN.
..g- 15 GRANERCY PARK.
: New York, Feb. 2l,y 1850.

MY DEAR SIE-My engagements
here will deny me the pleasure of being
present at the dinner Of the Demo-
cratic Association of Massachusetts on
the anniversary Of the birth of WASH
ington. i need not say how much
should be delighted TO meet the conn
pany who will be assembled on that
occasion.
Nothing could be moro tit at tho
present time than to commemorate
that day. It was the Father of his
Country, "tirst in war, first in peace,
and first In the hearts of his country
men," who set tho original example
against third term In the Presi-
DENTAL office. He made that menu
orable precedent as guide to all his
successors, and as an uuWritten law OF
the American people. He did SO in
the light Of a prevalent fear In tho
minds of tho most ardent OF tho
patriots who had achieved our national
and created our system
of FREQ government, that indefinite
re-cliglbility would degenerate into
practical life tenure. s.
The vast power acquired by tho
Federal Government over the elections
by Its offlcehoidcrs, It's patronage, tho
money 1t levies, and Its various forms
Of corrupt influence, have developed
this danger until 1t darkcns the whole
future of our country.
In the choice between the republic
aud the empire, We must believe that
the people will be true to their ancestry
and to mankind.
rendering you assurances of my
esteem, am respectfully yours,
SAMUEL j. TILDEN.

CENTRALlSM.

of the State OF virginia anu
j. d. Coles petitioner, is another long
string in the direction of Capitalization.
Justice Strong who delivered the
opinion was member OF the 10
fraud by which the presidency was
stolen and he defended his votes in
that body on what he claimed were
Democratic principles. Perhaps he
will defend this decision which prac.
tically destroys the Independence of the
State upon the same grounds.
Justice Field delivered dissenting
opinion, in which, Justice, Clifford con-
Cured. The morning papers contain
a brief summary of this dissenting
opinion and as it places the question
involved in SO clear and correct a
light we reproduce most of it. Justice
Field holds that
.srhe act under which petitioner was
Indicted, so far as it relates to Jurors In
State courts, is unconstitutional aud
void, aud even if it were not, the in
dictment describes no offense under it,
but is void on its face. He holds that
nothing can be found in the constitution
or it's amendments which authorizes
any interference by Congress with
government and the enforcement of
their laws with respect to any matter
over which jurisdiction was not sur.
rendered to the United States.
tsNothing, in his judgment, could
have greater tendency to distroy the
independence and autonomy of the
States, reduce them to humiliating and
degrading dependence upon the central
government, engender constant irrita-
ton, and distroy that domestic tran
quiIlity which it was one of the objects
of the constitution to insure, than the
doctrine asserted in this case, that
Congress can exercise coercive authority
over judicial officers of the States in the
discharge of their duties under State
laws. 1t will be only another step in
the same direction toward consolidation
when it assumes to exercise similar
coercive power over governors and
Legislatures of States." "a.
Those who regard the independence of
States, in all their reserved powers, as
essential to the successful maintenance
of our form of government, cannot fail
to view with the gravest apprehension
for the future, indictment in a court OF
the United States of a judicial officer
of a State for the manner in which he
has discharged his duties under hcl
laws, and of which she makes nc
complaint. The proceeding is a gross
offense to the State; it is an attack on hel
sovereignty in matters over which she
has never surrendered her jurisdiction.
The doctrine which sustains it, carried
to its logical results, would degrade
and sink her to the level of q
mere municipal corporation; for if
congress can punish the officer of a
State for the manner in which he dis
charges his duties. under her laws, it can
fix the nature and extent of the punish
ment. 1t may imprison for life, OF
punish by removal from Office.

LYNCH LAW.

Webster defines lynch law as the

or offences by private unauthorized

farmer named Lynch, v nv thus took
the law into his own hands," For
more definite and a more just definition

XII, PIP. 1874, 1876.
"I. Whereas, divers evil disposed
