speaker, dextrous manager of caucuses and
lucky manipulation of conventions. There is,
indeed no reason why politician who is so
utterly letterless as to be unable to read or
write should not win notoriety which some call
fame. But it is doubtful whether such can
ever be particularly useful. 1t is toerably
certain thar he will be nothing except to his
own day and generation, unless he possesses
singularly strong natural abilities. Military
distinction is of course, thing apart, and is
based upon a knowledge, acquired or intuitive,
of military science; bat we are now speaking
of craftsmanship and of legislative capacity.
There is a somewhat general and most mis-
taken impression that the people do not care
for highly educated leaders, and are rather
jealous of scholars who enter the political
arena. Perhaps, some time or another, it will
be discovered that this is an entire mistake.
The people, to be sure, are obliged to take
what they can get. Other things being equal,
they would prefer the well educated to the
iliterate candidate but the difficulty has been
to find men of cultivation willing TO engage in
the scrambles of politics hold places of pub
lie trust. When those who are of scholarly tastes
consent to take offices for which they are fitted
our impression is that they are usually regarded
with great consideration and favor by the peo-

1t would be indeed strange If people trained
under our universal public school system should
undervalue intellectual cultivation.
General Garfield will be remembered for sew
eral things let him be remembered as n MEM
Der of the American House of Representatives
who thought it necessary, for competent study
of financial questions comparatively late i'm life,
to acquire a knowledge of the French language.
We have known Ambassadors Extraordinary
and Ministers Plenipotentary who, with much
greater reason for taking that trouble, declined
TO take it, and suffered out their official greet
ings in "a language which no European monarch
could understand We have had numerous
financial expositors and prophets who knew a
greenback from silver dollar. and knew no
more. If General Garfield had lived the country
would inevitably have derived great advantage
from bis habits of conscientious investigation
and patient study. All that he had made him
self is precisely what we have lost. Ere this
has dawned upon his soul knowledge in COM
parison with which all the possible results of
earthly thought and study are the densest
ignorance. Here all was fIite--there all is in
finite. He would have been much if we could
have kept him-hOw much more is he now.

The Republican Convention Will be COM

Something over 200 delegates, or about two

raj districts the party is Overwhelmingly

sumo his functions as Boss. OF 2O7 dele

delegates including one district in this city.
are known to be in his favor; the preferences
OF twelve delegates are unknown; while the.
seats of seventeen delegates, including Mr..
Conllng himself are contested. There is
, scarcely a doubt that all of these seventeen
places belong on the side opposed to Mr..
ConbLng, but it is not to be expected that
the State Committee will take this view.
and, looking toward the organization OF the
Convention, it is best to keep only facts in
sight. The Conhling strength comes from the
cities. New York has 20 delegates, and the
machine can count on an almost solid delega-
uoh. hlngs County has 46 delegates, and
there the machine will have the lions share

will probably be more even division. ALBANY

Mr.. Gladstone is in fair way to have a
Scotch Land bill to deal with next session.
iIhe London Times declares that the bill which
the Scottish Chamber of Agriculture has pre-
pared is one of the most far-reaching meas
lures on the land question ever yet submitted
to Parliament" The Scotch landowners are
powerful, but if the people heartily support
this bill Mr.. Gladstone will doubtless adopt it
as his own. His party cannot logically refuse
the Scotch the same protection that has been
accorded to the Irish tenants.

The adherence and disgust with which
Guiteau and his crime are regarded by all
men are sufficiently shown in the fact that it
is with great difficulty that his own brother
m-law, Mr. Scovile, has finally persuaded
himself to act as Guiteaus counsel. Mr.. SEQ
vile makes one announcement which will give
satisfaction-that he will not wage fight of
technicalities. He will raise no question as to
the jurisdiction of the Court or the form of
the Indictment He will rest his defence on
the plea of insanity, and will ask only an i'm
partial trial. That Guiteau is entitled TO-,
and must and will have not for his sake
but for the sake of the country and the
law. Guiteau's case differs from that of most
murderers in the notOriety of his guilt 1t is
known of all men, and admitted by himself
and half an hours formal examination of wit
nesses will be all that is needed to establish
the TACT But at the same time he must receive
the full benefit of the provisions of law designed
TO protect men under similar charges The
country has already shown a splendid spectacle
all the people were excited with an unparalleled
National grief. There should be no falling
away from this digniied attitude. Guiteau
may safely be left to the-courts. 1t is no part
OF the business of the press to hound him to
the gallows. 1t will be another proof of the
law abiding spirit of the American people if
his trial is allowed to proceed with as little
interference, either from the press or the people,
as II he were commonplace murderer

grotesque development in the London
money market has been the revival of dealings
Ia Confederate bonds. Considerable business
has been done in them, and. strange to say, at
rising prices. On Wednesday they were quoted
at about two and half per cent yesterday
at three and half to four. A number of them
were bought for Amsterdam account The
credulous Dutchmen who are buying them
would be much wiser to follow the example
OF their ancestors, and spend the money on
choice tulips. They would at least delight the
eye-which the Confederate bonds will never
do. 1t would be interesting to know the pre-
else misconception of American affairs which
is at the bottom of this movement.

further than to ask the various Secretaries to

many and obvious reasons, to leave the Presi-

who earned the gratitude of the Republican
party by his firm and manly stand during the
long summer struggle in Albany. Forty dele
gates out of ninety-nine, dissatisfied with the
denomination of Senator Pitts, organized Sec
ond Convention and nominated A. b. Lamber-
ton, some years ago Democratic candidate
for Senator and Congressman, and lately re-
ceived into the Republican party. 1t is plain
that some OF the followers of Mr.. COnlkling are
not particular to the means they use to
break up the Republican party That seems
to be the especial object of their ambition
just at the opening of President Arthur's
term, when it is especially desirable that the
party in his own State should be able to give
him united support.
