The Presidencr in ,s4 and ,ss
A LONG LoOK AHEAD BY A POLITICAL SPEC
ULAToR-wAR ON TIE sTALwARTs.

UIATOR-wAR on TIE sTALwARTs.
The Washington correspondent Of the
New York Sun telegraphs to the journal as
follows
lis now understood that tCieneraI GarfeId's
cabinet will be mabe mp at Mentor; before he
comes to Washington at the end of this month,
with the bare posi- bility of some change af-
ter he gets there. By taking this course,
General Garfield may relieve himself from
irksome Importantly. The party chiefs who
have not been consulted at all, and who nave
had no personal opportunity of expressing
their opinions as to the makeup of the new
administration, cannot be expected to take
his action in good part.
A more polite president elect would have
seen and heard every body entitled to consid-
Grafton on this subject, even If his mind had
been positively made up in advance. Ia
shutting the gates down and prohibiting free
conference General Garfield exhibits not
strength but merely weakness of character.
He lacks the moral courage to confront the
leaders whom he intends to osappoiat. He
is afraid to tell them why he has decided
against their preferences This course viii
! only sharpen the edge of resentment, and
, unnecessarily make enemies by woundng
personal pride.
The main elements of the cabinet were
chosen long ago and viii not be changed
! The subordinate places may be altered, but
! not enough to effect the unity of purpose
( upon which the new administration is to
/ proceed. The central idea upon which Mr..
/ Blaine, as the controlling spirit, starts out is
| for General Garfield to be his own successor,
/ with Mr.. Blain as the candidate for 1888,
( when he viii be fifty-eieht years old.
This interesting programme not only shuts
{ out the third -termers for 1884, but is also
: serves notice upon them that the policy and
! the patronage Of the new administration
( will de directed against the men who were
I defeated at Chicago. With this the object of
Garfield and Blaine, of course the Grant
! leaders could not expect to get the Treasury,
! upon,which their fondest, hopes are centered.
! That recognition would have placed them
I on an equality with their rivals, and Mr..
/ Blaine does not propose to admit their equal
( ity.
( If Mr.. COnkling and the interest which he
represents will be content witha mild Grant
/ ite like Mr.. Lincoln, who presided over a
/ thiTd-term meeting in Chicago but has made
. no figure in politics, they may be Cratiiied.
/ But there is no intention to strengthen Mr..
! Conkling's hand in any way nor is there
/ any especial desire to ba eak with him.
/ 1t is easy to see what the result of the exist
I ing Tivalries must be. 1t is the old story OF
the White and Red Rsses, Of jefferson and
/ Hamilton, of Clay ard Webster, of the
HunkeTs and BarnbuTners, of Douglas and
( Breckinridge, OF Seward and Chase. A col
/ lisiOn is inevitable in the natnre of things be
/ tween the factions led by COnkiin, with
/ Grant as his figure head, and Blaine, with
I Garfield at his back. It cannot come to soon
/ for the good Of the country.

THE UNITED KINGDOM.
A New Move of the Land League
Mr. Bradlaugh's Case-The For
tune Bay Inquiry Postponed
why tsFreiheIt'' was Prosecuted.

LONDON, March 31-A dispatch from
Dublin to the Times, announcing that the
Land League are trying to organize local
branch in Dublin in order to bring
pressure on the traders who have kept aloof
from the League or who have given it no
substantial support, says:
"The League has commenced in the old
quarter OF the city by establishing branch
where there is large population of the
working and the lowest classes capable Of
supplying abundant materials for mischief.
Their resources in this respect have been
often developed In violent attacks on
the police, and in riotous and disor-
derly scenes The Council of the new
branch have sent a circular to merchants
and traders in the district who do not sym
pathize with the League, but who are large
ly dependent upon the populace for labor
from injury to their warehouses,
workshops, etc. The merchants
and traders do not know how
to deal with the circular. They are unwill-
Ing to comply with It's terms, and are afraid
to refuse. There can be very little doubt
that If this branch succeeds others will be
planted, until the city is overrun with the
0OXlOuS GTOWbQ Oh Tie LEAGUE { ybLetu.
In the Court of Appeals, Justice Bran
well sustained the decision of Justice Mat
thew, that Mr.. Bradlaugh's defense, that
the right to take an affirmation instead of
an oath, as allowed in courts Of law, applies
to the House of Commons, was wrong
Justices BoggalY and Lush concurred in
the decision. Mr.. Bradlaugh has an
nounced his intention to appeal to the
House of Lords.
1t is stated that Mr.. Labouchere will, in the
House of Commons to night. move for
new writ for an election In Northampton.
The government, it is expected, will assent.
In the House of Commons this evening"
Sir Henry Holland, at the request of Sir
Chas. Dixie, postponed putting his ques-
tion relative to the position OF the negotia-
tions with the United States concerning the
Fortune Bay affair.
Sir VIM. Harcourt, replying to a question,
read extracts from the obnoxious arti-
Gle in Fretheit, and pointed out its revolt
ing character. He said its attacks
even included one on the President of the
United States. The government thought it
would be grave error from a democratic
ss well as from an international point of
view TO ignore the article. 1t was a demo-
cratic crime and breach Of public morality
to iucite murder. No government would do
It's duty If 1t allowed refugees in free
State to convert it into hot-bsd of inclte-
ment to assassination. The government
acted on its own accord, and was not insti- i
gated by foreign powers.

DAKOTA UNDER WATER.
THE ICE IN THE MISSOURI BRO
KEN UP.
Bismarck, YanktOn and VermIIIIOn
Inundated-SiOux City in Peril
Vast Quantities OF Wood Swept
OR-LOss of Life and Destruction
of Property.

ST. PAUL, MINI, March 31.-A special
from Bismarck says that the ice in the Mis-
souri, river broke there yesterday and the
lower part OF the city is overfioBed, and a
great sea of ice and water extends for five
miles. Three government warehouses on
the landing were wrecked. The river rose
ten feet in a few hours, and is now thirty
feet above low water mark. The wood
choppers and settlers in the low lands were
all washed out, and many were probably
drowned. MardaD, on the west side OF
the river, is under three feet of water. The
greatest loss, aside from the lose of life,
will be in cordwood, thousands of cords
having been swept away.
A dispatch from Sioux City SAYS: "There
is thirty feet Of water in the channel at
YaBkton. The lower part of the city is
overfowed, and the Inhabitants have fed to
the hills. The food is the largest ever
known here aud the damage is immense"
The city of Vermilten, Dakota, is also
inundated, the water being up to the second
story windows of the houses. The occu-
pants were taken to the bluffs in boats and
were probably landed in places of safety.

"FREIHEIT'S" EDITOR.
Remanded without Bail for a
Week.

LONDON, March 29--Herr Most, of
Freihet, who was indicted at the
Bow Street Police Court for publish.
ing libel concerning the late Gar, and
urging the people to commit murder
outside of Her Majesty's dominions,
was remanded for a week He was not al
lowed bail. The Daily Meas says: eff any
foreign pressure has been used to induce
the govern mant to undertake the proceed
ings againss FretheH it probably ema-
mates from Germany. Fyeiheit'S ret
respective approval of the mur-
der of the Gar is less dangerous than the
suggestions it is charged with, throwing out
for the repetition of the crime in other
countries, and which, as alleged, point not
obscurely to the Emperor William" The
NeaOS. however, doubts the expediency of
the prosecution.
The property taken possession of by the
police at the Freihe3 office included three
hundred pounds in gold The charge against
Herr Most states ''that he, on the 19:h
inst., and divers other days, did, within the
Metropolitan police district, print, publish
and procure to be printed and published
in FIeiheu, a scandalous, wicked and ma
licious Iioel concerning the Emperor Alex
ander, who was murdered, and did arge the
people to commit murder outside of Her
Msjesty's domintous
The court during the proceedings was
crowded with foreigners. Sir James
1ngham was the Magistrate. Mr.. Poland
prosecuted, instructed by Mr.. Pollard, one
OF the Treasury solicitors, and Mr. Church
ly defended the prisoner. The Chief OF
the Criminal Investigation Department oc-
cupied a seat on the bench.
MI. Poland in opening the case against
Herr Most said there was no wish to inter
fere with the freedom of the press, and
that Herr Most had a right to publish any
thing that a British subject might publish.
He then read the article in the FyeiIteit of
the 18th inst. Some persons in the court
applauded the passage lauding the murder
of the Gar, and we're elected. Mr.. Poland
pointed out that the articles contained a
direct incentive to the murder of
the Emperor of Germany, who was
described as the "erstwhiIe grapeshot
Prince of Prussia" and added that
the act provided that persons
melting to murder were guilty of misde-
meanor and liable to penal 9ervitude for
maximum term of ten or minimum term
of three years, or to two years imprisonment
st hard labor. 1t would be a scandal to
justice If the act was not enforced
against the persons convicted with the
publication of such articles The evidence
of the police was taken, detailing the arrest
of Herr Most, and the fact that he de-
scribed himself as the editor of Freiheit,
that he owned the authorship of the article,
and that he said that he expected a prose-
cution.

THE GREEK QUESTION.
War Possible. bus Likely 20 be
Averted = The Powers VIII Not
Intervene should the Compromise
be Rejected.

LONDON, March 31.-The Pail Mall Ga
sette says: "The general assumption that
the Greek question viii not lead to war is
premature, and exultation at the present
time is unfounded. The powers could easily
restrain Greece by sending ironclads to the
Pirseus, but there is no indication that
the powers intend to take such q
course. The question is therefore what
amount of resistance diplomacy can oppose
to the momentum with which Greece is
gravitating into war. Keen observers at
Athens believe that nothing but force will
suffice"
The Gazette thinks the powers ought to
decisively restrain Greece from plunging
into an abyss.
The Times in its leading article this morn
ing says: "We cannot imagine that Greece
will reject the award of Europe"
A Berlin correspondent says the powers
jointly agree to declare to the Greek Minis
try their firm resolution not to intervene
II the compromise is rejected.
