constitutional amendment reducing the legis-
lative assembly to one body or increasing it to
three would be Equally Questionable :
and yet lit seems to us no such
objection would be entertained. The recent
biennial sessions amendment (and the sessions
might have been made every four or six years)
must be invalid If thir claim lie correct, be-
cause it prevents these bondholders from ap-
plying to the Legislature as often as they
would have but for that amendment.

OF Edwin NJ. Stanton the Cincinnati
Gazette now says: The true character
of our great war minister was little
known to the general public, That he
was capable of doing acts of gross injus-
lice was pretty well known, and it passed
for firmness, but some letters TO Buchan-
an, never published till after the latter
died, revealed great capacity for dupli-
city in his character" A public man
cannot be properly judged until years
have passed after his demise. The infa
nous record of Edwin N. Stanton, cul-
minating in his self assassination should
consign him to eternal infamy. No man
of character should be permitted to pro-
nounce his name without disgrace.

Rescued from Death.

our readers. He says: ''In the fall of 1876

followed by severe cough. 1 soon began to

cosKLIvG,s OVERTHROW.

There is general rejoicing in all parts
of the country at the overthrow of Conk-
ling. 1t is regarded generally as the
overthrow of bossism in politics. Per
haps it is, but the indications point in a
different direction. Conkling has been
the ''boss" in New York politics for
many years. He has not gone into the
details of the business, but has issued his
commands, and they have been obeyed.
But after Conkling who2 Or what? The
latter inquiry is perhaps the most appo-
site.
Conkling has been the governor OF
New York politics for nearly a score OF
wears. 1t cannot be said in truth that he
has administered his trust dishonesty.
He has used no dishonorable means to
maintain his supremacy, but has stood
firmly upon his own merits and the pre-
sumed merits of the party to which he
belonged. He was a leader of whom any
party should be proud. The Republican
party has discarded him. That organlza-
ton may succeed in carrying elections
without his aid, but the probabilities are
that it will fail.
When a man has attained the promi-
nence that has been given to Mr.. Conk-
ling in political life, is nonsence toSpre-
sumo that he will relinqulsh his station
However much Mr.. Conkling may desire
to quit the arena of political life, he cannot
do so. He will be drawn into it, whether
he wills it or otherwise. But he will not
support party for which he has done SO
much and for which SO little return has
been made. This is simply human ma
ture. For the future it may be safely
reckoned that Roscoe Conkling will not
be one Of the foremost advocates
of the Republican cause as he has been in
the past. He may not take the opposite
course, and it is 10 be hoped he will not,
but if he remains quiet-occupying the
position of armed neutrality-we may
look out for squalls. +"

What the Noted Nihilist Has to Say of AZ
fairs in Russia and the Object of His
Visit TO America.
New YORK, July 31-Leo Hartman, nj
hilist says his presence here is desire to gain
the sympathy of the American people for
those struggling for liberty in Russia. ave
wish to show that change of
government is necessary. Sympathy
once aroused will have influence on the con :
sentative element in Russia as well as encour-
age the revolutionary party. Before COM
ing here / judged from the tone of tn e
newspapers published in this coun-
try that the people were little ac-
quainted with nihilism, much less
in fact than in England 1t has been said l
intended to form nihilist organization here.
This is false. 1t is reported that Geneva has
been nihilist center in Europe"
"Have you any fear of extradition?"
"Not the least" replied the nihilist, laugh
England at all while l was there. 1t was
only on my arrival here that it
was raised for the first time. An at
tempt might be made to kidnap me.
What we wish is a general congress elected
by the people to frame q constitution; in a
word, a constitutional government If
there is no change of policy, the car
will die. If his successor pursues
similar policy he will be killed, and soon.
The misery Of the people is increasing daily,
and the spirit of revolt is increasing with the
weight of their burdens. In Russia there

falls directly on the working classes. 1t is a

land sale is to be made. It may well be
termed cut throat law, and one which
is far from creditahle to the statute book.
1t appears to have been devised for the
especial purpose of enabling lot of
pine land spectators to pay
the State tax alone and escape the local
taxation. To give this class bonanza in
the way of escaping taxation it became
necessary to make the law general and
rob and Cypress many who have been
ligitimately unfortunate in their delin-
quencies. 1t accordingly robs the local
governments in the counties where the
pine lands are listed and robs the unfor-
tunate in other counties 1t is double
barrelled robbery under color of law
In section it will be seen that the law
recognizes the contingency OF larger
sum being paid than the amount due, IN
which case the former owner of the for
feited land may imagine he is to secure
the surplus. This will prove all magma
ton, however, as by reading section it
will be found that this surplus
is distributed to the several
funds" Shylock only demanded the
pound of flesh called for by the bond, but
this measure is worse than Sylock. 1t
not only commits robbery, but makes the
outrage matter of speculation. Such
legislation is clearly against public policy
aud discredit to the State. 1t will be
strange if it is not overthrow by the

TIE POE MEMORIAL PERFORMANCE

THE POE MEMORIAL PERFORMANCE.
For an entertainment of a miscellaneous character
this was one of the best that have been given here
within our recollection. The programme. indeed,
was not entirely symmetrical. For various reasons
it was permitted to shape itself somewhat uneyenly
and with several rather violent contrasts. great
play with great cast would. OF course, have been
preferable; but, as this could not be
arranged. tho managers did the next
best thing, and made miscellaneous
entertainment of q singularly refined character.
The performance lasted five hours, and it fulfilled
the promise OF the programme almost to the letter
There were but few mshaps. Some Of the house
bills. hastily prepared did not contain the name of
Salvini, while others gave the name Of Mrs. Mckee
Rankin in place Of the name Of Miss Louise Syl-
yestcr us the representative Of Betsy Baker. Miss
Catherine Lewis and Mr.. John Howson, who had
been announced to sing, did not appear-and were
greatly mlssed-in consequence OF some misunder-
standing about tho necessity OF an orchestral
accompaniment. The act Of Sullivan" III which
Salyini appeared was considerably cut to save time

and the accession to the monument fund is very
cor slderable.
Ii was very agreeable to observe the kindly en-
husiasm OF all The artists concerned in the perform
ance, and therewthal the ready response Of the
sympathetic public. Tho great reception Of the
day was given to John Gilbert-a rame never asso-
ciated with any but good things. and steadily aud
rightly held in the atiootonate of this public.
The great performance of tho day that of Clara
Morris. III tho Sleep scene from Macbeth" The
variety aud significance of Miss Morris elocution in
this were exceedingly beautiful, aud the long
sigh with which her performance eliminated will
be forgotten. We do not hesitate to say that
tins bit OF the character Of Lady Macbeth has Dot
been acted with greater truth to the ideal greater
pathos. on the American stage within the last thirty
years. The greeting accorded to Mira Bouccault
exceptionally cordial, and it very clearly indi-
clted that the gentle and even tender feeling with
which she Was long ago regarded in this
Immunity mas lost nothing of Its warmth
and sincerity. Mr. Charles Wheatlegh acted with
