ANISTEREsrING STRUGGLE.

The struggle that is going on between
the editor of the Intelligencer and Mar
shall ATKINSON as to which Of them
will 90 IS q delegate to the Republican
National Convention Is growing inter-
esting. Each have some points in their
favor, and each have some very sharp
points against them.
For instance, this being 8 Democratic
State, it would seem fitting that the late
editor Of the Democratic Baltimore Ga
zette be preferred over q man who is
known to be a Republican. That's
point one in favor of our versatile neigh
Dor OF the big hand organ. Then he is
not an offiee-holder; and it Is supposed
by that gentleman that a man who
holds an Office can't do anything else.
That's point two.
Marshal ATKINSON holds an office
and that's q point against him. He is
for ARTHUR, who might be elected il
nominated, and is opposed to BLAINE
who can't be elected. and that is point
two against him.
We find, in this brief review, We have
given the points in favor of the Intelli-
gencer man and the points against the
other man; but in the next review we
will reverse the order.

HOW nAnE orr.

A correspondent excltedly demands
10 know how The REGIsTER makes II
out that r. B. HAYES il not IN ex-
Presidents OF the United States. We are
surprised to find that any person at all
mi crested in public affairs Is unac-
GUAM ted with the fact that in 1876 the
people of the United States, by major
ity ofa quarter million, elected SAMUEL
]. IILDEN to be their President for four
yeirs. A person named r. B. HAYES,
who IS now engaged in what we trust
Is the honest business Of keeping hens
in Ohio, was frsudulently placed In the
White House by 9 band Of reasonable
conspirators, and for four years embez-
zled the salary of Mr.. TILDEN. As X.
B. HAYES meyer was elected President
Of the United States, it is quite clear
that he cannot be an ex-President. Ii
a sneak thief should get into the house
ofour correspondent, lock the latter out
and proceed to eat the food IN the
pantry. and pocket the spoons, the
neglect of our correspondent to fire him
out would not constitute the thief the
rlghtfll occupant Of the house aad
owner of the spoons. We hope the
point is made clear.

Philadelphia Record.-Both parties are
looking around this year for brains. The
country IL In no humor for senile old men
nor second Ia:e young ones
Trenton nmes.-Samuel J. Tilden should
move to New Jersey. There Is more good,
solid sympathy for the victim Of the fraud
of rs in this State than in all the rest of
the Union put together.
Philadelphia Inquirer Carter Harrison,
of Chicago, denies the story that he wrote
10 Mr.. rilden suggesting Q revival OF the
old ticket, with himself rs the tail. He
is for Tilden. but not necessarily Tor har-
rison.
La Crosse Republican.-It would be
great relief II Mr.. Tilden would either
speak for himself or reduce the number OF
those authorized to speak for him. OF
course every body understands that Mr..
Tilden cannot both accept the nomination
and decline the nomination, but which as
ssrtion Is the correct one9
Hartford Telegram.-The fact is, the cur.
rent of sentiment is so strong towards the
democratic party that the party is perme
ated with o genuine enthusiasm. Atno
time since the war were the Democratic
prospects as bright as they are this yesr.
With good candidates and an honest re-
form platform the party will be invincible.
Butler Mon Miner.-Serstor Edmunds
has about as much chance for the Presl-
dency as the man in the moon. Tne ability,
rhe integrity or the statesmanship OF Mr..
Edmunds may be conceded, without fur
thering bis prospects for the office, for the
fact il no Republican candidate for the
Presidency will come from Vermont this

THE iron trade Is discussing with
much interest the probable effect at an
early day Of competition with cheap
Southern manufactured pig iron. 1t is
announced that the other day contract
for 8, 900, 900 worth Of that product was
made st Nashville, Tenn, the manu-
faclurer STIMULATING to deliver so tons
daily for ten or fifteen years to q stove
foundry in that city at prices ranging
from SlO50 to $3.50 per ton, free on
board. The party agreeing to deliver
is said by the Louisville Courier Journal
to be entirely responsible and sbund-
sntly able to execute any contract he
may enter into. AS the present price
of Pennsylvania pig iron ranges from
SO to 81 per ton, the Tennessee manu-
fscture has decidedly the inside track,
and 1t is not improbable that he will be
able to compete even with John Bull
on his own ground. That is II the "con-
traetn represents actual facts and is not
gotten up for boom in S9uthsrn iron
manufacturing.

WALL sTREEr CURIOSITY.

The retirement of q successful specu-
lator from Wall street, with fortune
well secured, is such an unusual occur
renee that it is worthy Of more than
passing hotice in the brief news notes
OF the daily press. Wall street was
greatly surprised last week by the an
nouneement that G. J. OSBORN had de.
eided to go cut of business, and that
the firm of brokers of which he was
member would tai e in its shingle.
Had it been announced that the
house was insolvent, the surprise could
not have been greater. But it was
known that the firm vas not only per-
feetly solvent, but wealthy, and in full
tide of success. Mr.. OSBORN retires
with S3,OOO,OOO of the spoils
Of Wall street, which is
quite sufficient for any man not ambi,
tious to rank with the GOULDS or VAN.
DERBILTs as mere possessor Of super
fluous dollars. He is evidently one of
the few men who know when they
have got enough.
AS q rule Americans never know
when to stop after the money-msking
mania has once taken possession of
them. The American man Of business,
particularly the man engaged in the
business Of gambling in stocks, gener-
ally devotes the better part Of his life to
the insane scramble for gold, and the
more he gets the more he wants. By
he lime he has secured an independ-
ent fortune he has become the slave OF
mis- business habits and cannot enjoy
his wealth in 3 rational way. He must
he in the thick Of the fight or life has
n. charms for him.
His whole life has been devoted to
business and he cannot give it up with
uut some such struggle as the opium
eater goes through when deprived OF
his drug. Many man has seen the
time when he could have quit the street
with q million or more, and has gone
On in the hope of doubling his pile AID
lost it all by some unlueky speculation,
being unable to resist the temptation to
gamble.
The case Of JOHNNY SHAE, the Pacific
coast mining operator, strikingly Illus
trstes this inability to understand what
constitutes enough" At one period
of the Sierra Nevada rise, SHAE could
have cleaned up about ten millions, but
he wanted the earth aud kept on play
ing against the game of the
bonanza kings until he lost his
asst twO-bit piece and had
to go to work. Spectators not only do
not know when it is wise to stop, but
they never give a moments thought to
he injustice of their speeulations.
The course Of this broker in retiring
from business with more than enough
Is to be commended to American men
of business. IL would have been bstter
for the country had VANDERBILT.
GOULD, SAGE; sni the rest Of the
money kings of Wall street retired with
SS,OOO,OOO apiece and devoted their
energies to amusing themselves and
spending their income.
