ALI our advices from New York and Penn
sylyania promise another political tidal wave
like that of 1874. The revolt against the bosses
is vide and deep, and there is a growing
number of the independent voters who seem
to be awake " the too little understood fact
that the only way of correcting the abuses of
party government is through an occasional
change of parties. Only in this way can
party leaders be kept on their good behavior
aud party machinery kept reasonably pure
and in the hands of the people instead of the
rings. Another opportunity is offered the
Democracy. Can it profit by the lessons OF
experience, or will 1t again verify the maxim
so often repeated by the Republicans, that
the blunders of the Opposition win always
be sufficient TO save them from defeat. Such
has always been the case hitherto; but are
these bluuders to stretch out till the crack Of
doom

The Brooklyn Daily Times (Rep.) thinks
that the value of the pledges given by
political candidates before election depends
upon the character of the particular candi-
date. OF the case of the nominees for Con-
Large from New York it says:
The reply given by Gen. socum to the queries
proponnded by the Civil Service Reform Association
is soh that 1t ought 10 command the respect and conf
dence Of every voter. H. distinctly and emphatcaly
gliIms that he is In favor OF the movement, aud
pledges his support to II elected TO Congress- This
IS Of COURSE Just what every candidate would reply,
But Con. Slocum's pledge we think, may be safely

Amongst the Americans of his time there
Is no one who affords the biOgrapher All easier or
more attractive task than John Randolph, OF ROa-
noke easy because the key of all his political action
his apparent inconsistencies, his inOrdinate
affection for his native State and attractive because
his character was as unique as his career strk-
lug, aud aiordng wonderful fund Of queer dOings
and Witty sayings, In his deep and exclusive devotion
for Virginia Randolph only exhibited IN the highest
degree trait which Is peculiar 20 Nlrginians TO South
Csrollnans, and, in lesser degree, to some other
Southern states. Randolph anan full OF passion
aud prejudice, but Of great personal dgnlty and OF
the purest motives, lie WAS Calhoun's precursor
aud teacher in the dOctrue OF States Rights, But
as the HOrh reviewer says "The greatest interest
We have IA Randolph Is personai Interest. lie rs
the most picturesque ngure Ia Tho hs half century Of

career Of any OF his contemporaries. It IL ey-

was made when an Adams was selected as the biog-
rapher OF John Randolph. Mr, Adams Is simply In
capable Of COmprehending either the public life or

The races of the National Jockey Club last

were good, the finishes close aud, almost without
exception, the cOntestng horses ridden all
| they were worth. The proyerbial uncertainty Of
| hOrse-racing had frequent illustrations, the
strongest faYorites several times defeated by
rank outsiders. sOme discomfort expressed the
defeat Of Buster by Rochester over the hurdles on the
second day, but as conld II was a case

Buster took the lead AT the start and showed the
way over hye Of tbs hurdles. Al the sixth he and

| The DOCTRINE OF AssAuLTs-kEYEsAw.-
The Army and Nary Register last week contained an
able icyiew of Gen. COX's last volume Of war his
tory Theconclusions this reviewer are In the main
so sound and well stated that the single Instance
where they altogether wrong ought be
iOoi'od. Ho says.
For the assault on Kenesaw most excellent rea-
sons given, which ought to he conclusive
They were not the oftquoted ones, that
slry to show that the troops could fight well as
manwuvre but that the weather was bad that sup
plies could not be transported TO any distance from
the railroad: manu.uyreS of the character subse-
quently adopted with success, we're not possible at
that time and the only alternative do nothing
until the weather cleared and the roads improved
10 assault "Ihere was fair chance to carry some
point In the enemy line II au assault succeeded 1t
would be decisive event. II 1t failed, the venture
would at least be justified on sound military prncI-
pies. ~ aud the man9uvIes could be resumed as soon
as the weather permitted. They were, IN short the
very reasons which have always justified assault
before entering upon Siege and they were perfectly
applicable TO this case.
All this is totally wrong. Assaults on fortified
positions like those at Kenesaw. SpOttsYlvania. and
Cold HarbOr rank folly. For II they succeed, the
defensive army having secure line Of retreat,
suffers less than the assiutug array, while II they
fail, they generally will, the is still worse.
The assault on Kenesaw, If 1t succeeded, would nat
have been "a decisive event, because, Sherman
had not occupied JOhnstOns line OF communications
in force the latter would only have been compelled to
fall back and take up another defensive position,
win loss In the action probably not nearly great
as that he would have Inflicted upon his adversary.
| The armes, both North and South, which fought In
our civil War; were not TO be stampeded like a flock
| of Egyptian sheep, because they had lost single
position, but were always ready to fight In another
| the very next day. The phrase about "entering
'upOn siege - is simply silly. There nothing
to beslege at Kenesaw. The operations strictly
those of field armies. The - which have al
'ways Justified assault before entering upon q
| "sege ~ did not exist at Kenesaw in any form OF
shape. Some OF those are for example,
when an army Is marching to relieve the beslegeC
force, when climatic other make hast,
necessary The great Caesar illustrated the assault
question when lie defeated the POmpeian army a
Ilerda Ia Spain. lie placed himself upon his enemy
line OF retreat, there he fortified and by skillfu man
| guyres hemmed In his adversary and lnaIy com
| PEELED whole army nearly quite as strong hi
| own to surrender. All the while he resisted th,
clamors of his subOrdiuates for unnecessary as
| saut, aud 50 achieved great victory without i'm
pairing the strength OF his veteran legiOns. Tha
were 10 give him the empire Of the world at Phar
| salia.

EVIDENTLY the same ideas which did the
Army so much harm under the Grant re-
gimG continue to prevail. General Pope
and Colonel Mackenzie have Just been Sc
lected for promotion. The only claim of the
first is seniority, the latter has no claim at
all, as he is already above a great number
of officers who are his seniors in length of
service and at least his equals in merit.
When Jealous b. Tower, wounded at the
head of a storming party in Mexico, who has
| received more brevets than any other officer
of the Army, to say nothing of Hunt, Getty,
Stanley. Gibbon, Parke, Gilmore, Weitzel,
| and dozen more, mast retire as a colonel
in order that the youngest officer of that
grade may be a brigader little earlier,
oldfashioned ideas of military rank receive
pretty severe shock, When this sort of
thing is happening all the time what incen-
tive is there for any officer to take thought
of any duty except that of currying favor
with those who hold or who influence the
appointing power.

The attempt to stop Mr.. F. X. Ward from
conducting his business because the noise
his wagons make annoys the people living in
the neighborhood Of his Alderney dairy
depot raises curious question. II Mr..
Ward can be compelled to remove his busi-
ness, we do not see why the same process
might not be brought to oust every green
grocer or other person who uses two or three
wagons, that necessarily make considerable
noise, especially in the otherwise still hours
Of early morning. TBB scNpAY HERALD
press may I've considered nuisance by some
light sleeper in our neichborhood, and the
electric.light machinery is still noser. The
residents in MIR, Wards vicinity have seen
his business growing until it is now a
very large one, with a very considerable
capital invested. II he can be stopped, we
don't see why any baker doing business
near residences could not he compelled to
remove by an application OF precisely the
same principle which is now brought to
bear against Mr.. Ward, And as his neigh
bors have stood the necessary incidents of a
dairy business for five years, it seems they
might wait until the case can be tried on its
merits in the Equity Court, 1t will be no
great hardship for those who complain
against the Alderney Dairy to wait for a
judicial decision, but to enioiu Mr.. Ward
from continuing his business pending such
decision would be, as we are con-
lident His Honor the Judge will see,
very great hardship, entailing upon
him enormous pecuniary loss. II
would, in fact, be little short OF ruin
to vast business like this to enioin 1t even
for few weeks. The courts have always
| taken the view that thc prcocsE of iniunc
| tion must be remedial aud not oppressive
and we are sure the Court in this case will
perceive that the petitioners against Ward
are seeking to use its powers for an illegti.
mate purpose. Even laymen can see that
this is not a case where the business com.
planned of should be brought to stop pend
| ing the determination of the questions in
volved. Such an injunction, if it should he
ordered, which we are confident it cannot be
would in effect anticipate the decision to b,
had after trial or evidence, since Mr.. Ward:
business would be effectually ruined 10y
suspending it for even a limited period.
