THE ELECTORAL COUNT.

If we are to Judge from the tone of the
debates on the electoral count in the Sen.
ate the other day, there are some Republi-
cans as well as Democrats who do not
greatly care to have the matter adjusted.
This, at least, is what we gather from Mr..
Conkling's remarks, for it was evident that
he occupied the position of an obstruction
ist, and that any course proposed would
have been equally Objectionable to him. 1t is
curious that just at this juncture Mr.. Conk-
ling should show himself undesirous OF
having the electoral count provided for
equitably and deinitively, for it really
seems to lend some serious significance
to the statements which have been put for
ward by the Stalwarts, about the necessity
of having a candidate who would not sub.
NIT to be counted out, but would see that
he got his seat. Possibly the news from
Illinois had the effect of making Mr.. Conk-
ling Indifferent to the securing of any pro-
vision for making the electoral count.

A CHARACTERISTIC soMERsAULr.

The New York Herald has Just achieved
one Of those characteristic somersaults for
which it is notorious, and its tendency to
which so fully explains its utter lack of in
fuence upon public opinion. After having
fought the third-term movement in the
most persistent and laborious way, after
having opposed the denomination of Grant
from every conceivable standpoint, after
having put forward half dozen candidates
of its own, each and all of whom it SOL
EMMY declared to be the best men avail
able, it is so demoralized by Logan's cap
ture of the Illinois Convention that it
throws itself head over heels, and with a
ludicrous assumption Of seriousness an
nounces the next morning. that Grant is
g the only fit candidate" for the Presidency.
What makes this sudden and unprincipled
"Hop" even more astonishing than it
would otherwise be, is the fact that it is so
utterly unnecessary. The New York Her
aid is read by hundreds of thousands for

TILDEN AND HIS PARTY.

We presume that very few Democrats
really believe it possible to beat Tilden for
the nomination, if he wants it and that
still fewer have any doubts as to whether
he wants it. We hear now and then some
faint intimation that he may not be able to
carry solid South, but of course that is all
hummery, since the solid South has no
other ticket to vote than the Democratic,
and however much some Southerners may
dislike Tilden they would rather vote for
him than for the best Republican who could
be named. Tilden thinks the nomination
is his right, and he has taken steps to rem
der that theory operative. He appears to
have about two. thirds of all the delegates
thus far elected, and the opposition to him
is very feeble outside of New York, and
not very formidable there. He seems in
fact to be completely master of thesituation,
and though the New York World still
fights him, it will have to fall into line
with the rest after he has conveyed his will
to the Cincinnati Convention.

A BLOODY DUEL IN LOWER CALIFORNIA.
The following is from the San Diego Union
of May Dist:
We learn that DR.. Lozano of the Mexi-
can Army, and Surgeon-in Chief of the
Federal force in the Peninsula, who has
been in San Diego for few days. yester-
day received by courier from San Rafael
an urgent call to proceed without delay to
that point, where Colonel Ranjel's troops
are stationed. Two captains of the line,
between whom there has been i'll feeling for
some time, yesterday morning at an early
hour engaged in duel with swords, and
both are so badly wounded that the result
is in doubt. The combat was continued
with desperate determination for more
than half an hour and only ended when
both men fell exhausted from loss of blood.
Each officer has terrible cuts about the
head and thrusts in the chest and limbs.
1t is stated that the duel was conducted
strictly in accordance with the laws of the
code, several officers, friends of the repect-
i've parties, being present besides the Sec
onds. The courier did not state the names
of the parties to the duel to any one but
Dr. Lozano, who did not wish to commune
cate them.

SPORTING FRAUDS.

II is stated with much positiveness that
the late abortive boat-race between Court
new and Hanlan was sold by the former,
and certainly the facts appear to warrant
that inference. If this were an isolated
case of the kind it might not justify any
disparaging generalization, but it IS by no
means solitary instance. The in
crease of fraud in sporting events of all
kinds appears TO have been proceeding
steadily Of late years, and when we con-
slider that this has been coincident with the
increase of fraud in politics and commerce,
perhaps we ought TO look upon it as merely
the natural adaptation of all things to
their environment. But however the
growth Of fraud in sporting matters may
be accounted for, it seems inevitable that
it must, if continued, gradually extinguish
all general interest in the class of events
referred to- The prize-ring was some years
ago practically banished from England by
the advent of corruption, and the same
result must be reached in this country
in connection not only with pugilism,
but with sports and games and
trials of skin of all kinds, unless some
serious effort is made to reform the man.
agement of these affairs. Seeing how
largely sporting has become mere excuse
for gambling, perhaps it would not do
much harm to public morals if it should
fall generally into disrepute. But the de-
STABILITY Of sustaining and encouraging
athletic and health giving exercises is too
obvious TO be questioned, and it would GER
tainly be misfortune if such exercises
were abandoned because Of the dishonesty
Of some persons who have. undertaken to
make their living by them. 1t is. OF
course, mainly in the trials of skill or en-
durance shat the public are interested.
Let them enco become persuaded that
there is to be no genuine trial of the kind,
and they will drop the whole business, in
Guiding horse racing and leave it to the
professional "sports," who will then dis
cover that they have killed the goose that
laid the golden eggs.

its news, but nobody reads it for its opir-
ions. 1t now Grant should be nominated,
1t would support him after its usual fash
ion, but whether it supported or opposed
him would make no difference to its read
ers, for they are not guided or influenced
by its political expressions at all. OF
course no paper that habitually pursues
such policy can hope to WELD any influ-
ence over public opinion, and perhaps the
Herald does not desire to do SO. But at
least it would be as easy and as advan-
tageous to maintain some semblance OF con-
sistency, for at present its want of trust
worthiness and stability deprives its edito-
rial columns of all interest and signif-

THE ILLINOIS CONTESTANTS.

1t appears to be certain that the Illinois
delegations to the State Convention which
were SO arbitrarily deprived of representa-.
tion by the Grant faction at Springfield last
week, viii appear at Chicago as contest
ants, and will dispute the right of the Hi
nois Grant delegation to be admitted. The
result of such contest will depend largely
upon the organization of the Chicago Con-
vention. If the organization is captured
by the Grant men no doubt the Illinois del
egates Will be admitted. But it viii evil
IDENTIFY be the interest of all the other can
didates to resist their admission, since
without them all hope of nominating Grant
on the first ballot must be abandoned, and
it is almost certain that if he is not NOM
mated on the first ballot he cannot be NOM
mated at all Thus the chief interest of
the struggle will center in the Illinois del
egation, and it is apparent that a formida-
BILE effort will be made to counteract the
usurpation perpetrated by Logan. The
card of Hon. G. B. Farweli in this
connection is specially significant. He
therein declares that "The anti-Grant
districts have elected delegates and will
present them at Chicago. Logan and
"Garcelon stand as the political burglars
of the time. and Logan's crime against
" liberty will, in the end, bring him no
"'morc spoil than was won by Garcelon.
These expressions show not only that de-
termined action is to be taken, but that
the anti Grant men in Illinois are deeply
exasperated, and resolved to push the
quarrel to the bitter end. There has never
been SO much angry feeling between the
contending parties as at present, and this
feeling is growing SO rapidly that we shall
not be surprised if it results in split in
the Convention. There can be no doubt
that the least attempt to cozen the anti
Grant delegates to that body cut of their
rights, and to procure the nomination OF
Grant by arbitrary and unfair tactics, will
produce a resistance of the most pro-
nounced character. In fact, all the dele
gates are approaching the scene of their
labors in a more or less excited frame Of
mind, and it will require consummate tact
and very conspicuous disposition towards
fair play TO avert trouble.
