RUNNING AWAY FROM THE CONTEST

RUNNING AWAY FROM THE C"NIESI'
Over ak hundred people sailed fer Europe
from this port yesterday. In thl5j great
tbrong Cf pilgrims to the Old World there were
doubtless many who reiOiced ut their escape
from the uproar and excitement of the Presi-
dental campaign, and who said to Themselves
as they saw the lights Of NeVeIsnk fade on
the western horizon, and their steamer went
ploughing through the long blue waves of the
omen sea: How lucky we are to get away from
Git alD While their home-staylng fellow
citizens will be worrying and wranglng, max
ing speeches or listening to them, writing polltl-
cal articles or reading them, bOthering about
the close States and wondering If this or that
candidate is really a thief and a pcrjurer, as
the unscrupulous partisaus Of the opposite side
assert these fortunate persons Will be looking

the soldier who goes into battle and does his
part bravely, or the stTaggler who lies IN the
shade at q safe distance in the rear, and con-
oratulates himself that he has escaped the toll
and danger of the fray7 Rightly considered, is
there not something in these fierce quadrennal
contests of ours which stirs the blood Of the
Nation into healthful activity, and sets people
to thinking about something else than their
netty private affairs, and thus quickens some Of
the better qualities of human naturef And II

Pretty soon the country will be convulsed
with party strife. The very air will seem thick
with the smoke and dust of the contest, but
beneath it all the broad stream of National life
will run all the faster and all the purer for this
supertcial agitation. Every man will become
an amateur orator among his friends, and the
newspapers will TEEN with argument, appeals,
and depunciation. A vast amount OF energy
will be wasted in the canvass, and vast
amount of money thrown away. But ,some-
thing will be gained besides the victory OF a
party. and the effects will be felt long after
the heat and passion of the strife have abated'

1NTE-MORTEM.

There is o great gathering of gentlemen with
long faces in GIamercy Park, and the idle
bows of the Eighteenth Ward stand in front OF
No. 15 expecting the arrival of hearse All
day the procession of the friends and acquaint-
ances mounts the historic doOr-steps, passes
in. and passes out again. Nearly all the
associates of the late Claimant are there. Sen
ator Barnum, Of Connecticut, pauses awhile in
the excitement of the mule market to pay a
proper tribute of respect. Mr.. Hewitt, too good
a man to remember injuries in such solemn
bour. is one of the silent assembly. Mr.. w.
L. Scott, of Erie comes also, and tries to forget
that less than four years ago he was publicly
pointed out as the capitalist who was going TO
put up the money to buy few returning boards
for the departed statesman. Mr. Smith M.
Weed, as he glances arOundi the darkened
parlor, remembers how the lamented rebuked
him with gIeat severity for negotiating the
purchase of tue electoral votes OF South Car
nina. and then kindly allowed him 70 supple
ment the transaction with other cOmplOts OF
the same character. Colonel PeltOD's feelings
but upon this sacred ground let us not trench.
The gathering is not precisely funeral III

ceremony cannot, strictly speaking, be called

The friends have come together to administer
upon the estate. "Of course" as one of them
remarked little while ago, if the old man
wants the property, why it is his, and he ought
to keep It, But, bless you it's OF no use tC
hun any more he is almost gone; and we
Gmay as well settle the business owswithout
foolish delay" Mr.. Payne is understood to
have put in large offer for certain mortgages
but recent events at Chicago have made thu
prcpriety of dealing with Mr.. Payne extremely
Oubtful. Hendricks, Hancock, Bayard, Thur
