There was neither fraud nor violene en-
ployed in carrying South Carolina cleo
tions, but equally with Wade Hampton
the Charleston, S. g., Neos knows bet
ter and thus relieves it's conscience:
Senator Hampton in his speech in the
Senate on Thursday admitted that there
had been irregularities and frauds at cleo
tionS in this State, and announced his un-
alterable discrimination to try at the
earliest moment to rectify the wrong that
had been done. The 'irregularites," or
whatever else we please to call them,
were justified and justifiable-just as rev.
olutlOn or rebellion is permissible when
there is no other escape from tyrannical
government, under which neither life nor
property is safe. 1t is manlier to rest on
the right Of revolution, whatever form it
takes, than on denials which do not car
ry convictions, and on evasions which de-
ceive nobody worth deceiving. Senator
Hampton, in his speech at Blackvile on
July 4, 1878, said frankly that if elections
were to be carried by fraud the State
would soon cease to be worth saving
What was done in 1876, in 1878 and in
1880 was necessary. Similar work is in
dispensiblc no longer, and the people will
not put up with it. The Democ ratio
masses cannot be whipped or spurred up
to the point Of taking the chanses of AL
bany Penitentiary. 1t is not right that
that they seould, for there is not the need
now that there was before. Nothing but
the unalterable determination of the
elections, by hook or crook, put the
Democratic party in position to prove, in
practice that under Democratic rule, the
taxes should be lowered, that the laws
would be justly administered, and that
the condition of the whole people would
rapidly improve. These are facts, not
proises. And they spring from the op-
portunties given by the frauds and irreg-
ularitieS which our opponents insist on
treating as mere devices to take offices
from one set of persons and give them to
another set. For such purpose the peo-
pie would not tolerate chicanery at cleo
tions. This is one reason why there is
determination to have free vote and
fair count hereafter. The means which
can be justified where the very existance
of the people is at stake are uncomfortable
when the objective point is the gratitica-
tion of individual ambition and the salts
faction Of personal greed. No one can
tell at this moment in what particular
way we shall continue to maintain re-
spectacle and equal government and at
the same time do away with fragrant
abuses at elections. Somehow it will be
done. The Democracy know what is
wanted, and are wei! able to put their po-
litical household in order.

The new Superintendent of Central Park. if
he prove equal to his opportunities, will meet
with many difficulties in his efforts to set his
new domain in order SO many things ought
to be done, and done promptly that il must
be embarrassing to determine where to beoin
Equally important is it to know what not TO do
and some doubt and hcstancy will therefore
be natural and excusable before setting on foot
any extensive alterations. 1t is always easier
to mar than to make, and Superintendent
who has not studied the original design of tbe
Park and has failed to catch the spirit and
aims of its creators, can readily work irep-
arabic mischief But there are some things
which Mr.. Jones can do where mistakes are
impossible.
When the Park was originally projected
the northeastern corner was intended
to be converted into an arboretum,
where city students should be able TO
find specimens of all trees, native and foreign.
which could stand the climate. These were TO
be arranged in groups and classes to facilitate
comparisons, each specimen being properly
labelled. For some reason this plan was never
carried out, and the city thus lost most yalu-
able factor in its educational development.
Whether the original intention can now he oc
complishcd is probably doubtful, but the point
Is well worthy the Superlntcndents considera-
ton. Since the Park was established many
new handsome varieties of trees and shrubs
have been discovered, and the ma
terials available for a irst-cass arboretrm
which should be worthy of this great metrop-
oils are much more abundant than thew were
twenty years ago. In the rarer trees and
shrubs Prospect Park is far ahead of New
York, and it is time that our Park authorities

But whether it is possible to revive the ar
boretum project or not, much can certainly be
done with the Park as it is in educating the
people. Many fine specimens of native and
foreign trees adorn our public pleasure ground !;
but how many of the thousands who take de-
light in it can distinguish one tree from an
other How many know by sight and can tell
where to find the Japan Gingko, the PROSTATE
juniper, the Oriental spruce, of which there are
some exquisite specimens in the Ramble, the
weeping beech, or the giant tree of California?
Of oaks elms, naples, birches, ashes, and other
trees, many varieties exist in the Park, but
the public have no means of identifying them.
Why cannot Superintendent Jones remove the
difficulty by setting his gardeners at work
affixing labels to all prominent specimens
where they abut on the public walks 7
One or two such labels can even now be
found, but the plan, to be of real benefit should
be carried out thoroughly and Systematically.
The labels need not be large, their color could
assimate to that of the trees to which they
were attached, and they should give not only
the common but also the scientific name of the
plant.
The advantage Of such system, thoroughly
well done, can hardly be Overrated. And there
seems to be no good reason for not adopting
it. In the Museum of Art and the Museum
of Natural History visitors find every object
carefully labelled, and half their pleasure con-
sists in knowing what they are looking at.
If dead birds and fishes are thus named, why
not live shrubs and trees which would lose
none of their beauty and attractiveness by
being better known?

Every thanked God, yesterday, as he wiped
his streaming brow that the President was safely
removed from the fearful heat.
Mr.. Hendricks has not impressed his party by his
declaration OF the erocious courage which he would
have exhibited in 1876 if he had had a chance. Not
Democrat has felt moved to rise, and pointing at
Indianas only original statesman, to shout: "There
he stands There is the for in 1SS4p
Nothing of the kind has been said, and there
signs that anything of the kind will be said. The
truth is that Mr. Hendricks is bygone. If he VIII
absorb tins fact he will have much more peaceful
old age.
New-York bows its head IN prayer for the Presi-
dent today. 1t will be a solemn service in which
the whole State will JON.
General Grant thinks Mr.. Conkmg is q necessity
in New-York politics. He undoubtedly is for Re-
publican quarrel, but not for Republican victory.
If the President takes fresh start now as he him
self says he already has. and improves steadily the
question of inability will soon drop ont of sight
There is harm in letting ii for a short time
longer There Is no apprehension IN the public mind
on the subject.
Mr.. Hendricks Is talking with great freedom on
all public questions. He has started run for the
Presidency three years too soon, rs usual. All his

The Rcorganized Democrats are trying hard to

two New-York Senators to their seats and thus

The quarrel between Governor Piaisted of Maine

The New-YOrk Democrats have given Themselves
only about three weeks in which TO make their
campaign Why didn't they 90 a step further and

been cheaper and the result would have been the

The number of sunstrOkes yesterday in this
city and the vicinity was not so great as might
have been expected perhaps, from the in
Tense heat. The number reported from
this city, Brooklyn, Jersey City and New
ark is, in all, about forty. There have been
much longer lists for New-York alone on
days of less severe heat. No doubt the differ
ence is due to the fact that the heated term
came suddenly and has not lasted long

might begin to sink under it, should it

For some fifteen years house on the
Rue de Ia PAX, Paris, contained among
other tenants, q young girl of bewitching
beauty. Her hair was of the red-gold that
Giorgione loved; her eyes were dark, and
large, and velvety; her complexion was as
fresh, as delicate, and as pure as aroseleaf;
her figure, her carriage, every charm was
perfect. In fact, her beauty was SO re-
markable that, when for considerable
fee, she began to offer to bestow similar
loneliness upon judicious patronesses, she
found her hands full and her account at the
bank something remarkable. But. within
the last year, Leontine Rachel has aban-
doned the business of making other women
beautiful forever. and has developed So
prano voice of nazing compass and power.
Verdi has not only encouraged her to seek
front place among prime donne, but has
also permitted her TO call herself Verdin.
Emile de Girardin presented her the other
evening to an audience Of conoisseurs,
among whom, no doubt, she found it easy
to recognize some Of her former customers
of the Rue de Ia Paix.
