THE Dirty IN H1ND.

A grave question has now TO be decided by
the people and the Legislature of New York
The Senators from this State have resigned
their seats, because the President had made,
and the Senate was certain to confirm, a
nomination not pleasing to them. Their letter
of resignation, stripped of all disguise, amounts
to this that the President had made one up
pointment without obtaining i'll advance their
personal consent Had they been able to
prevent the confirmation OF this nomination
in the Senate they would have done so,
for they considered it insulting to them
that the President dared 10 act without
their permission. Failing TO bring majority
of f1e Senators Of their own party to their
views, these Senators resign. The Legislature
of New York is now called upon to take the re-
sponsibility of a bitter, unsparing and personal
warfare against the President, hecause he has
seen fit to make nomination which the Senate
and the majority of the Republican members of
the Senate approve, and to which the Senate
gives formal advice and consent, but which two
Senators from New-YOrk did not advise.
These Senators expect triumphant reelection.
They expect to be formally commissioned by
the Republicans of NcwYork to make war
upon the Republican Administration, and if
they can, To break down and defeat the Repub-
Gcan party.
1t is no longer a question whether Mr.. Rob
ertson shall be Collector That was settled
before the Senators threw mp their commits
sions. The Administration will he represented.
in the most important Office in this State, by q
citizen who sympathizes with IL heartily, and
who enjoys so fully the confidence of the people
that resolutions commencing his nomination
were passed unanimously in a Republican Leg
islature. The question now is whether the
Republicans OF New-York will make war upon
the Administration, with no better reason than
that single act whether they will do and will
commission their Senators To do their utmost To
disrupt and defeat the Republican party on that
account; whether, in short, the Republican
party must now lie smashed because Mr.. Roscoe
Conkling cannot dictate to the President.
Ii is good time 20 settle this question. But
the time is short. The members of the Legis-
lature were elected without any such contin
gency in mind. There is little time for the
votersof the State to bring their opinion to
bear upon their Senators and representatives
in the Legislature. Nevertheless, the respon-
sibilty must be met. We hold that the Repub-
licans of the State Of Eew-f York do not wish TO
disrupt or destroy he Republican party On
grounds 30 frivolous. Since. there Is to be a
Republican Administration and Collector In

some disadvantages. It's appeal is to wealthy
men. who are not likely to comprehend the
value of classical learning, but who see at once
that of a scientific or mechanical training. En-
dowment has become all-important, and the
rich it Is necessary and perfectly natural and
proper to conciliate and encourage in their lib
eral intentions. The old, simple but effective
methods of culture made little noise, re-
CURED no great expenditure for buildings, for
laboratories, for museums, for model farms, and
for botanical gardens. In behalf of all these
there has been an appeal, and the response, the
generosity of which we are far from ques-
tioning, has proved that riches do not neces-
sarily harden the heart nor dwarf the under
standing. When the history Of American edu-
cation is written, the story OF the capital in
vested in it will be one Of the. most animating.
The production of n Greek play, in its
original language and with all appropriate
accessories, is a work as far as possible re-
moved from the practical business of life.
Yet it differs IN kind only, and not in character,
from the production and collection of pictures
and statuary, from the erection of buildings
which shall have an architectural beauty apart
from their usefulness, from. the composition
and performance of music of high order.
There is, after all, nothing more real than the
ideal, whether We consider its effect upon char
acter and conduct, its influence i'll refining and
ceyating character, or the general advantage
to the community Of multiplying those whose
tastes and pursuits are digniiicd and heightened
by an abiding sense and love of beauty. Tor
some time it has been evident that our colleges
sorey lacked something There have been con-
slant reports of insubOrdinatOn, of indulgence
in coarse pleasures, and of boyish pervcrsc
ness The greater attention given to physical
culture much n il was undoubtedly needed,
has been accompanied by inevitable dangers
not always successfully avoided. We welcome
any innovation which shall tend to increase the
manlincsS of the Undergraduate, to make him
ashamed of childish waywardncSs, and to keep
him out Of paths which are not the paths Of
wisdom. Not in vain have these examples o.
Grccian beauty and elegance and nagnanllnity
been preserved through all the centuries.
Wonderful is it that through all changes OF
race of manncrs of thought and Of tastes, they
have sill kept their hold upon the human
heart All our victories over the forces Of ma
turr have not diminished their yalur and when
will there be future with humanity in it,
which shall have no need Of them Q

abe is reelected, and by next winter the trouble
u will all be over"
II will be by virtue Of such consider
atoms as these that he will be elected, if he
ia elected at all. II, on the contrary, his
blatant mouthpieces, by trying to make his
avindication declaration of hostility against
General Garfield, rouse the latent Republican
LOYALTY of New-York to revolt against the
machine, they may encounter result which
will astOnsh them. The rank and file OF the
Republican voters of this State do not intend to
be cut of from the great National party which
has been for so many years the object OF their
pride and allegiance. The sentiment of the
party in the Nation, with exceptions too insight
Gcant to mention, is wholly with the President
and against the arrogant and injurious dicta-
ton of Mr.. COnklmg We are low, we have
been for years, deprived of our Legitimate
weight and influence in Congress and in Ma
tional Conventions, on account of the impactl-
cable and offensive character of the man at the
head of our State OF aniZation. For four years
past he has not been on speaking terms With a
Republican President and Republican Cabi-
net This did not in the least cmbarrass Mr..
Hayes or Mr. EyartS, but IT was daily incon-
venience and disadvantage 10 the citizens OF
the State and positive injury to the party. IL
we reflect him now. we shall have to pat up
with ills same disagIccablc relation for four
years to come, as our uncomfortable Senator
has already announced that he will never again
speak to General Garfield. He stopped speak
ing to the Secretary of State years ago, and has
recently shown prcmontoIy symptoms of cut
ting the acquaintance of the Postmastcr-Gcn-
cIal. The inconvenience arising from this
rauSc may perhaps be obyaicd, to cc't''n
degree, by his sending the ice-PreS'rH' a!l
Mr. Plat on his crrands. BIT if an a.;t.i 81
indigestion should lead him some u..y'' 'n'a-

sympathy with that Administration, 1t is the
plain duty of sincere and patriotic Repubn-
cans of this State not TO send Senators to WaSh-
ington 10 make wer or to disrupt the party.
The sensible and patriotic course is to select
Senators who can fairly represent the people OF
New York. and the Republicans OF New-Iorb,
without prosecuting savage personal warfare
against the Republican Administration.
II the people speak promptly and with the
emnbasis which the occasion demands, their
voice NAV be heard. Members Of the Republi-
can marty. whether hlbitual leaders or not
have a right to be heard. Any one of them
can draw ND brief ana respectful petition re-
questing that the Legislature will not foster a
mischiey GUS personal strife by rejecting either
of the Senators who have resigned their seats,
but will endcayOr to select, as Senators from
this State, men who will strive to act IN har-
mony with the Republican Administration, and
with the majority of Republican Senators from
other States. Such petitions, Immediately pre-
pared and circulated III any town or village III
the State, would receive many signatures. II
forwarded without delay to Republican
Senator or REPRESENTATIVE, Who would not only
give reasonable attention ia It's prayer but sub
NIT il TO other Republican members OF the
Legislature it might help to prevent scrio g
mischief
The Republicans " New-York stand ii great
need Of n declaration of independence. Recent
events show that their assumed leaders IN the
Senate have not been in harmony with the
majority of National Republican Convention,
with newly elected Republican President, or
with a majority Of the Republicans IN the
Senate. 1t is about time to stop that aGlaeo-
nisIn. The Republicans of New York can put
themselves into line, and keep step TO the music
of the Union, if they take pains to have their
real wishes made known at Albany without
delay.

CONCERNING TINDICATION

1t will not be advisable for Mr. Combines
adherents to talk too loudly about the meaning
and significance of the vindication he expccts
from the Legislature of New-lOIk. Il is possi
bic, as we have no hesitation in admitting. that
his friends may have majority of the Rcpub-
lican caucus. But the feeling in his favor is by
no means unanimous among Republicans, and
any gross indiscretiOn Oh the part of those who
are managing his canvass may prove fatal to
bis cause. In one word, the C0nkling faction
of the Republican party of this State cannot be
carried over bodily TO an attitude of open hos
tility 70 the Administration and the President
MANY of his supporters deprccate the quarrel
which threatens tbeir own political standing
They sympathize with him to a certain extent
but they are not ready TO follow him out of the
Republican party. On the contrary. there are
some of them who hope that the reelection he is
now seeking may be the means of pacating
and modifying him and keeping him in the
ranks after the confirmation of Judge Robert
son. They talk Of him privately us a spoiled
schild; he must DO humOred little; it IL
sreally hard lines upon him to be beaten so In
the Senate be will be pleased and satisfied If

1t seems too bad said one Of the etawsrts yes
terday, that the President should not have done
something TO conciliate our Senators instead Of
driving them to adopt this course. The party can
not afford to lose two such men, one ripe states
man, the other young man at.ths beginning Of
what promised to be useful career" There's not
much in the driving out as in the condition Of the
statesmen. One Is ripe" 1t is trne-apparentl just
little too ripe-and he falls on the other is not

Possibly the New-York Senators themselves
