Charles O'Conor.

The distinguished lawyer who went to his
rest on Monday afternoon was only great in
his profession. He figured somewhat con-
spicuously in politics during very eventful
period in tho history of the country, but his
most ardent admirers will not claim that ho
was a statesman. When young man he
ran for alderman in the Sixth ward of N ew
York city at the age of forty.six he ran for
lieutenant governor Of New York, and at
sixty-eight he ran for president of the United
States, but never was elected to any Office by
the people. With all his great genius he never
had much personal popularity.
When the slavery question was the main
issue in American politics Mr. O'Conor was
probably the foremost champion of tho pccu-
liar institution in tho north. He was
thoroughly conscientious in his views, and u t
the breaking out of the war he refused to lay
aside the constitutional theories which helhad
maintained during tho great anti.slavery
struggle. He opposed the action of the gov
ernment in making war on the seeded states
from first to last, and when he profered him
self as one of tho bonlsmen of Jefferson Davis
it was out of genuine sympathy for tho man
and the lost cause which he represented.
Mr.. O'Conor was nominated for president
by q convention of straghtout democrats
who refused to support Mr.. Greeley. Although
no declined the nomination ho received some
twenty thousand votes, Perhaps the greatest
political service that he ever performed was
when he appeared in his professional capacity
as the counsel for the honest people of New
York city against the Tweed ring. What
ever may have been his failings as poll.
ticiau and statesman, ha was free from the
taint of political corruption, and it was his
disgust at tho low state of political morals
/ that led him into some of his remarkable
/ speculations concerning tho true functions of
| government.
! At the bar Mr.. O'Conor was pro- omne Il
Ho had all tho qualities that constitute O
great lawyer, including au enthusiasm for tho
cause Of his client which never abated. An
indefatigable student from youth to old ago
he had u vast store of legal learning whicl
no could draw upon at will, and ho was a
familiar with tho rules and teChniCalites Of
practice as with the great principles of the
law. We do not think that history will
include him among tho great mon Of the
century, but his fame as an orator and advo.
cate will bo handed down through many
generations IN tho traditions of tho New

A War for Freedom.

~ WI" NoE fEetuO"'
Mr.. Gladstonos speech in the house of
commons in opposition to tho resolution of
censure introduced by Sir Michael Hicks
Beach gives tho Falso Prophet better
standing than no over before enjoyed in tho
western world. Tho very general opinion
that has hitherto obtained is that FL Mahdi
is first.class fraud, who pretends to receive
commands from Heaven (which he imposes
upon his ignorant and crcdulous followers as
inspired revelations Tho rebellion in
the Soudan has been popularity supposed to
bo sort of fanatical crusade undertaken by
superstitious Arabs to establish tho new dis.
pcnsation of Mohammedanisn.
Against this widely. disseminated belief
concerning the troubles in the Soudan Mr..
Gladstone interposcs tho weight and au-
thority Of his great namo and proclaims the
FL Mahdi rebellion to be "a war for freedom" /"
which England ought not to put down. And
so firmly convinced is the English premier
of tho justice Of FL Mahdis cause that he
declares tho sending of an armed expedition
TO Khartoum would amount to "a war of con-
quest against people struggling to be fret" "
This ia very remarkable declaration, inas.
much as England claims to bo tho protector
and ally of Egypt, and it is against the rulo
of Egypt in the Soudan that tho followers of
FL Nahdi have rcbelled.
Whatever may bo Mr.. Gladstone's opinion
of the merits of the war in tho Soudan, it is
quite certain that he did not regard that part
of tho rebellion which drifted over into tho
Red Sea littoral as "a war for freedom" There
was no very close, inquiry in osman Digna's
motives when he threatened British interests.
The goor Arabs who impaled themselves on the
British bayonets may have been struggling
to be free" but thoir noble patriotism did not
save them from remorseless slaughter. In
their struggle for liberty tho Arabs must bo
careful to conhne their military operations to
a region that is not easily reached by British
troops. That which may DO patriotism at
Khartoum becomes 1Hgrant insurrection at
SualSin.
Gen Gordon's mission to the Soudan was
to secure peaceable evacuation of the coun-
try by the Egyptian troops. He has not yet
been able to accomplish that object, and it
would seem to be about as difficult for tho
imprisoned garrisons to get away, even if no
enemy was harrassing their retreat, as it
would be for relieving force to reach them.
1t is quite certain from the tone of Mr.. Glad
stones speech that ho does not want to assist
in maintaining tho sovereignty of Egypt
over the Soudan, and that he wants to avoid
war of conquest.

OF Hts Fitness Tor the once.
Mr.. Cannon, comptroller Of tho currency,
yesterday appointed Mr.. Walter S. Johnston
receiver Of the Marine National bank Of New
York. Mr.. Cannon says that he has not yot
received detailed statement from Examiner
Serbia, who is in charge of tho affairs of tho

letter received on Monday from Mr.. Serbia
he became satisfied of tho insolvency of tho
bank, and has accordingly appointed q re-
coiver.
Mr.. Johnston, who is at present at the
Fifth Avenue hotel in Now York, was last
evening notified by telegraph of his appoint
ment
Mr.. Cannon said last night that the ap-
pointment was made after careful consd-
GRAFTON of all matters pertaining to the
failure OF tho bank. Much, he said depends
upon the receiver in the initial stages Of his
duty, aud he added that in the failure of
the Marine bank many intricate questions of
national banking law will have to bo imme-
diatoly considered. Mr.. Johnston, ho said.
has the special ability and legal knowledge
necessary TO enable him to promptly and
carefully handle tho affairs Of tho broken
bank for the bost interests of all ito creditors
lie has been, Mr.. Cannon says receiver of
five different national banks the most i'm
portant of which was the National Bank of
the State Of Missouri, of st. Louis, which had
a capital of $2,500,0OO, and ho adds that Mr..
Johnston'srecord as receiver is excellent, his
| management OF tho several banks of which he
has been in charge having been characterized
by economy and prudence. Ho says further
that Mr. Johnston's appointment was recon-
mended by nearly all the largest creditors of
the Marine bank and by such men as Solon
Humphrey, jr., VIM. Dowd, L. Ii. Perkins,
jr., president of the New York clearing house,
o. ID. Baldwin, president Of the Fourth Ma

He says that Mayor Edison and Comptroller
Grant, Of New York, the largest depositors
of tho broken bank, telegraphed to him
Monday, asking to be heard in tho matter of
the appointment of receiver, and that yes
terday ho received joint telegram from

and gave her an engagement ring. After he

future husband.
Prior to his promising to marry you had

Schemes for the improvement OF the Ohio river
are in process of incubation. These schemes we
apprehend, are more in the interest of rapacious
contractors who want to bleed the government
for their individual aggrRndizement than in tho
interest OF navigation and commerce. The only
plan by which the Ohio river can be made a safe
and Well-behaVed channel Of commerce is to con.
sruct q deep, strong high wall on both its shores,
from its source to its confluence with the Missi5.
sppi so as to keep the raging flood within bounds
during tho freshet. The bed of such wall must
bo laid deep as to be proof against the danger oil
undermining, and its top must be so high above
the point reached by the last flood as to be beyond
the possibility Of overflow by future great rises
And an Ohio river improvement Of this char
acter-the only one that is demanded or that
would prove efIective-would probably require
the expenditure Of all the surplus revenue in the
United States treasury for a decade to come.

What Senator Edmunds now proposes should
have been done at the close Of Gen. Grants presi-
dental term. 1t should be done now with as little
delay as the orderly forms of legislation will per-
init. When he was made the republican nominee
and elected president, in 1872 that was done with
out any procurement of his; and when it came
about, he was obliged to resign the high position
OF general in chief of the army of the United
States-a position won by priceless services to the
country and which was then, with one exception,
the most illustrous place in his profession in the
world. 1t was serious personal sacrifice. 70
that place he should have been restored at the end
of his presidential term. 1t is the position for
him. and 1t is the position the country should
wish he should occupy-even though 1t be upon
the retired list. Should war unhappily come, he
would be the man equal to any military occasion;
but he has learned 50 much of the sacrifices and
miseries entailed by war that resort to that 10y
any suggestion of his would be among the last
events to happen. AS already said, the propos'
ton is not a new one; 1t has always been proper
thing to do 1t should have been done seven years

MIR. BLAINE IN VIRGINIA.
The Significance OF His Visit to His
Friond, Col. Parsons.

RICHMOND, VA, May 13-The Hon. James
G. Blaine, accompanied by his daughter, ar
rived at Natural bridge Sunday morning.
Some Of Mr.. Blaine's friends say his visit to
Virginia at this time is to seek rest and rec
roation. 1t is regarded as significant, however,
that the Maine statesman selected as the
place in which to secure that repose neigh
borhood in which one of the most prominent
straightout republican delegates to the Chi
cag6 convention happens to reside. Col. II.
@. Parsons, vice president Of the Richmond
and Allegheny railroad, lives at the Natural
bridge. He is warm personal friend Of the
ex-secrotary of state and was one of the first
men in the state to advocate his claims for
the presidency this year.
The fact of Mr.. Blaine's friendship for Mr..
Parsons is one reason why that gentleman
was chosen by the straightouts as delegate to
Chicago. 1t is believed that Mr.. Blaine's
visit to Virginia at this timo is o combination
of pleasure and business. 1t is surmised that
he is at Natural Bridge to confer with Col.
Parsons as to the best policy to be pursued by
the straightout republican delegation at
Chicago. Mr.. Blaine has had considerable
business dealings with Col, Parsons and
knows no is man Of great discretion and
Judgment, and, moro than ALL disposed t
view political fights with great calmness.
