Afraid OF the Nihilists.

Nihiists have been discovered among the
servants of the Winter Palace, Some
of the Wallets dc chambre who were mp
pointed for attendance on the Gar him
self had aroused suspicious by their man
ner, which betrayed certain unaccount-
able prcoccupNtion Of mind. 1t was,
moreover, discovered that they were in
the habit of leaving the rooms allotted to
them in wing of the palace at nigbtmll, and
of not returning before four or five O'Clock in
themorning CountAdlerbcrg being informed
of these circumstances by some of the Cars
faithful domestics, gave orders TINT the sus-
pected members of the household should be
watched, and without delay proceeded to
search their rooms This led to the discoy-
cry Of Nihillst maniiestoes, pamphlets, pro-
carnations, and lind Of diary in which the
daily occupations and movements Of the
Gar were carefully registered. His
daily habits, the hour of his
walks, every particular of his life were thus
known to the NihilistS The conspirators
who have just been discoveredin the palace
are also suspected of being accomplices in
the attempt made on the life of the Gar Mt
Moscow. The Nilhilst proclamation
seized in the rooms of these
servants are printed with type in very re-
spect similar to that of the imperial printing
establishment of the Senate, and it is thought
the printing characters were stolen from that
establishment by some of the printers en-.
ployed in it who are in league with the
Nihiist committee.

In my judgment this communication de-
aoaStrateS the unfairness and inherent Wei
business of the present method of nominating
by conventions.
The sending of the entire primary vote
through all conventions to the final one, rs
suggested in that communication, is emincntly
fair and will inevitably secure the choice OF
the people
The unseemly scandal and strife which ma:
attended many conventions heretofore held
and the suspicion Of Juggling and trcl<ery
engendered in the public mind respecting
them, has tended to weaken the Democratic
party and imperil the election of its nomi.

The people will hereafter demand The
most rigid fairness in all conventions seeking
to enunciate platforms and declare upon The
merits of candidates, and it occurs to the
writer that the mode indicated in the Letter
above referred to is well calculated to secure
honest and acceptable results.

New York Harbor.

Gen. Hancock recent letter, calling
attention to the almost defenceless oondi-
ton OF New York harbor, has aroused the
apprehension of New York merchants, and
the chamber of commerce, at their month
~ meeting last week, adopted memorial
to congress asking for an increased appro-
priation for their defence. The. statements
made ar the meeting present the subject
in the light of national interest. We
possess no guns capable of making a good
defence against modern armed vessels
carrying guns of l6 inch calibre, which
send balls of ton weight distance of
seven TO nine miles Of course, IN the
event OF war with a powerful maritime
enemy. we would close our harbors with
torpedoes; but torpedoes are only an
auxiliary adjunct to forts. They them
selves require to be defended by powerful
hanking shore batteries. Otherwise, an
enemy's armored ships would fish them
up and steam into the harbor 1t is
pretty well established that q modern
armored vessel can run past a fort, with
the aid of her propeller, without suffer
ing serious damage from the fire of
light guns during the brief time she is in
range. The object of torpedoes is to keep
her under the fire of good land batteries
as long as possible; and. of course, these
land batteries ought to be armed with the
very best ordnance-riied guns of heavy
calibre, throwing projectiles which, if not
able to pierce the thick iron or steel
plating OF the attacking vessel, would have
some chance, at least, of battering her
works, loosening her rivets, on deranging

The people of Ireland. the dispatches
say, are feeling in better spirits and are
more hopeful of the future. This changed
condition of affairs is due to the extensive
measures of relief which have been inaug-
urated by the English government and By
private subscriptions from the world at
large Lord Northcote, in speech before
Parliament on Friday, denounced Parnell
as demagogue and said. but for his
Inouthings the trouble which now besets
Ireland could largely.ha been avoided ,
This is rather severe on Parnell, but COM
ing from an extreme member of the Gov
eminent party will not have the weight

nell does not relieve distress in Ireland, and
that England has been tsrdy in her meas
ures of relief is clearly evident from the
suffering among her Irish subjects.

If Grant receives the nomination by one
vote only, he will accept it. If, in order
to secure that vote it requires constant
and persistent wire pulling. it will be done.
If, in the securing of that vote it be nee

Grants agents, by his sanction, will do
the work. In fact, state it any way you
please, fair or foul, just or unjust, it is of
no consequence how the nomination be
secured, so that it be secured. This,
Grants agents mean to do, and this are
they are permitted to do. by and with his

intentions of Grant is e waste of time.
