The New York Sun draws the
line on our Rutherford IN the follow
ing:
r. B.. Hayes says he would notno
accept the nomination for President,
if handed to him on a silver plate.
In the Assembly of this State, two
years ago, there was a tilt between
james W. Hustled and Ambrose H.
Purdy. The latter accused the for
mer of trimming to secure the nomi-
nation for Senator in the Westchester
and Rockland district. Mr.. Hustled
denied that he had any such desire,
and declared that he would not &C
cept the nomination if brought to
him on q silver plate; and then he
charged that Purdy vas trimming
to secure the same nomination. This
Purdy also denied, saying that he
would not accept it if rendered to him
on a gold plate. "Mr. Speaker"
exclaimed the irrepressible Gen.
Spinola, "the gentlemen say they
would not accept the nomination if
it was offered to them on silver and
gold plates. Perhaps they would not,
but you may rest assured that they
would never give the plates back"
Perhaps Mr.. Hayes is satisfied with
his experience of one term Of Office
to which he never was elected, hat
would it be safe to trust the silver
plate within his reach?

Major SHAW has been reinstated

We were opposed to any removal,
but if the position must be filled by
a Republican, we are glad he has re-
ceived it. Judge WYMAN has made
a splendid record as Superinten-
dent and should have been allowed
to remain. 1t is a dirty, contempt
BILE and cowardly business, to run
politics into these Institutions in our
State, and nothing can be gained by
doing it.

La
The Republican Council of Eaton
did a good thing when it appointed
Ellis Minshall Deputy Marshal.
The Democratic Ring has been dis
pensing the patronage of Eaton long
enough.-Regfster.
All! 1t was on account of the
patronage the appointment was
made, and not because the peace and
quiet of our town demanded a Dep
uty at a voted salary! A very un-
fortunate admission, we should
think. But when and where have
the Democrats of Eaton ever had any
patronage" to dispense, pray? The
Democratic Marshal always appoint.
ed a Republican Deputy. We sug.
gest to onr Council now to go on dis.
pensing patronage" with the PEG

of Health, &C., and vote each a sal
ary.

Whether or not Grant receives the
Republican nomination, the fact re-
mains that the most eminent leaders
of the party were not only willing
that he should be nominated for a
third term, but have done all in their
power to bring about that result.
This of itself is sufficient to condemn
the party in the eyes of all patriotic
American citizens. The party whose
leaders are willing to lend their aid
to SO vile a plot against the liberties
of the country as the proposed third
term, is not fit to be trusted. The
people will not only defeat Grant, if
he should be nominated for q third
term but they willdefeat any candi-
date Of the Republican party who was
in any way accessory to, or identi-
fed with, the third term.

ed SO ferociously at us that we feel

acting as nominal editor of that pa

His opinions of persons and political

impression on his readers; they new

it will be any salve to the wounded

will assure him that our "endeayors

Of a Delegate to Chicago from this

The foreign immigration to the
United States has been enormous
this year. From 1776 to 1920 about
100000 immigrants landed in this
country. From 1920 to 1875 about
eight millions arrived, and of these
eight millions, six millions entered
the country at the port of New York.
The arrivals in 1879 were nearly six
ty thousand in excess of the previous
year, and more than any year since
1874. The number Of immigrants
landed at Castle Garden New York,
from January l, 1880, to April Is,
1880, is 49, 566 against 1886 for the
same period in 1875, 1881 in 1877,
lilo in 1878, and 1916 in 1879.

The Tribune, recalling the decla-
ration of the Grant men some time
ago, that his name would not be pre-
sented at Chicago unless it was the
unanimous desire of the party,
points at the very obvious fact that
unanimity is wanting, and calls up
on Grant "by a few plain words" to
save himself and party from defeat.
It is not unlikely that, should it be-
come plain that Grant cannot get
the nomination, he will make a vir-
tue of necessity, and open his impe-
rial jaws to decline it. 1t isn't his
nature nor his habit to decline any
thing he can get.

WASHINGTON LrrrEa.
From our Regular Correspondents.
WASHINGTON. D. c.
MAY 10th. 1880.

WARRINGTON, ~. w.,
May 10th, 1880.
A Representative proclaimed the
other day, from his seat, that he had
been informed of something very
like another Credit Mobilier affair.
It was in connection with Texas Pa
cific Railway legislation, some nine
or ten years ago. An investigation
will be had. It is stated that among
Others implicated is q gentleman
prominently mentioned in lconnec-
ton with a Presidential nomination.
The River and Harbor bill, giving
nine millions or SO, passed the House
Monday by q vote OF nearly four to
one. If the amount had been run
up to twelve or fifteen millions, SO
as to satisfy many members whose
Districts are not now provided for,
the vote would have been about ten
to one.
Many papers complain of the
House decision to adjourn May 31st.
This is unreasonable. To remain
here after the nominations are made
for the Presidency would be folly.
AS was aptly said in the discussion
on Saturday, Congress- would be
nothing but a political DEBATING so
ciety. What little would be done
would be im~perfectly if nG vicious
ly done. As it is, there is plenty of
time to pass all the appropriation
bills. They are all through the
House except the general deficiency
bill.
There has been an attempt made
lately to 30 amend the National
Bank laws as to permit those insti-
buttons to loan money on mortgages
or real estate. The amendment will
not, probably, be made.
Politicians, especially the Radi-
calls, are holding their breaths now.
The Illinois Convention meets to-
day, and uron its decision depends
the nomination or withdrawal OF
Grant. Should he get q sdlid dele
CATION from his own State his nomi-
nation is conceded. But should the
delegation be divided up, his nomi-
nation would be doubtful, and prob
ably impossible. After the Illinois
Convention, and this week but few
of the States, and those important,
yet remain to hold Conventions. The
Republicans seem cheerful, but it is
plain they lack the confidence of for.
mer years. By a judicious nomina.
ton at Cincinnati / think Democrat
ic success is assured, When wecan
bring to the front such men as Han.

Bayard and Hendricks our chances
of making a strong nominatipn are
better than ever before.
All is alive with excitement to.
day, for at 4.30 the great Hanlan
Courtney race comes off. This let

The betting is in favor of Hanlan.

Mr.. Hayes extends theinformation
that he will not call another session
of Congress even if the dearly below
ed Deputy Marshals should have to
go another year unprovided for. The
outlook for the Deputy Marshals is
on this account not promising. Still
there is no compnlsion. If the Dep
uty Marshals don't like the prospect,
they can resign.

Cleveland Plain Dealer: General
Logan's management of the third
termers in the Illinois convention
was admirable, whatever may be said
cfhis political methods. The success
Of the Grant men was due as much
to skillful leadership as anything
else. The Blaine men, on the other
hand, wretchedly ~mismanaged their
case. They were noisy, brawling
and ~boisterous, but had no intelli-
gent plan of action. So far as appear
ances go it will be much the same at
Chicago. The men who are mana
fging Blaine's fight eem to think
success depends on making a prodig-
ious noise, rushing headlong into
the fight, and slashing about indis-
criminately. They do not seem to
consider it necessary to hare their
forces thoroughly organized upon
some carefully prepared plan Of ac-
ton. A pinned knight is all very
well to talk about, but a plumed
knight who rushes headlong into the
ranks of a well-drilled, welL-disci-
pinned army, will lose both hisplume
and his head. Unless the Blaineites

develop some better generalship than
any that has thus far mark ed their
career, they will be routed in the
Chicago convention even if they
have a majority of the delegates.
