Mr. B,,ine,s Political Methods.

The republican perfectionists profess to
dislike Mr.. Blaino's political methods"
If they were in court OF equity they
could be compelled to give q bill of
particulars and to state the facts from
which they draw the inference that Mr..
Blaincs political methods" are vicious
or corrupt. What has Mr.. Blaine done in
politics that merits censure from con-
scicntious republicans? What means has
he used to promote his political fortunes
that might not have been used by Carl
Schurz OF George William Curtis?
Mr.. Blaine has been endowed with ex-
ceptional gifts. He has the qualities
which the masses Of the people most ad.
mire ia political leader-pluck, aggres-
siveness, eloquence; he deals heavy blows
in fight, and his antagonists are pretty
certain to suffer from the effects of his
de xterous hitting. But what is there in
the exercise of his splendid powers as de-
batter that ought to excite the hostility of
the perfectionistsP
Has he ever employed his eloquoncc in
bad cause2 Has he ever sought to de-
grade his country or to wrong his follow
men? No doubt the Yale land Harvard
professors will cite his speech aud vote on
the anti-Chinese bill to provo that his
political methods" are not up to the
standard of the perfectionists. But Mr..
Blaine is not college professor, whose
duty 1t is to deal with abstract truths as
applied to an ideal state of society. He
| Is n practical statesman, and in dealing
with practical questions he takes note OF
the existing state of public opinion, and
of men and things as they are-not al
they might DO after being subjected II
two or three centuries of Harvard cul
ture.
But these learned philanthropists ART
not consistent. They condemn Mr.. Blaine
for his anti Chinese vote. but find no faul
with Mr.. Bayard. In fact Mr.. Bayard ii
their ideal of all that is exalted in states
manship, and yet during thepast fourteen
years he has voted against every measur,
relating to tho rights OF the newly en-
franchised citizens which they regarded
us essential to the welfare of tho countr!
and the protection of tho people. Whel
the amended Chinese bill was put on it
passage in the senate the other day Mr.
Bayard voted yea. This vote will no
deprive him of the support of the perfec
tionists if he gets the democratic nomina
tion for president, although one of thei
reasons for opposing Mr.. Blaine is tn
fact that he voted in favor of the origina
bill and thus brought down on himsel
tho charge of being addicted to ba
"political methodsn

The secretary Of the Independent re-
publican committee" made great mis-
take when he mailed one of its circulars
to Hamilton Fish, jr. The object in send
ing out these circulars is to procure
signers to o call for general confer
ence" to be held Immediately after the
national democratic convention has COM
pleted its work, with view to forming q
new party if the democratic candidates
should not prove satisfactory. Mr.. Fish
not only declined to sign the call, but In
= lowledging the receipt Of the circular
plainly intimated that he regarded
fhe sending of such q document to him
as an impertinence.
"Although Mr.. Blaine wasnot my preference
Mt Chicago" says Mr. Fish, "still in view of
the fact that his nomination was made by
delegates elected in the main by congressional
districts mot by state conventions as has
hitherto been the custom) and was evidently
the free and untrammelled act of she great
majority Of the delegated representatives OF
the republican party, l cannot associate my
self with any adjunct or tender to the demo-
cratic party (which your movement necessarily
must be-whether Intentionally or not / am
not prepared 10 say)-and am with the great
mass of sincere republicans earnestly support
ing the distinguished candidates recently
nominated, aud of whose election happily for
Ne country, there is so little question"
Mr.. Fish further informs the committee
that it seems to be controlled by gentle
men "who are welded to free trade
principles, and who have at heart the
success of those principles rather than
that of the republican party"
Tho Pharisees walked up the wrong
man when they asked Mr.. Fish to assist
them in electng democratic president

The Consular and Diplomatic Dill.

The conference committee In charge of the
consular and diplomatic appropriation bill
concluded consideration Of that measure at 4
o'clock yesterday morning. With the excep-
ton of The senate amendment appropriatng
S25OOO for the Nicaraguan waterway project,
an agreement was reached on the entire bill
The house conferees refused to agree to that
feature of the bill, and the senate confcrees
concluded to consult with other members of
the senate before expressing their decision on
the amendment. They also requested that
they be allowed till this morning to make
their report
The reduction us compared with senate bill
including the Nicaraguan project, amounts to
about SG6OOO0. The salaries of the ministers to
Italy and Austria are left at $4,000 ns agreed on
in the senate, and the salary of the consul gem
cral at Cairo Egypt, ut ~ OO0 as proposed by the
house. The senate confcrees rcceded from the
senate amendment providing for the appoint
ment of u commission to visit and ascertain
the best modes uf securing more intimate in
ternationHl and commercial relations between
the United States nnd the several countries Oi
Central and south America.

IT would seem that the charitable in
stitutions of Philadelphia are not to be
enriched by tho $4,000 wager with which
tho Times challenged the Press to make
good its claim of circulation exceeding
that of tho Times by 100000 Tho Press
promptly accepted the challenge, but it
looks very much as if the Times was
afraid to meet the test on tho terms pro-
posed by itself

OUR esteemed contemporary, the New
York World, lays down the essential
qualifications of the ideal candidate whose
nomination will fill the soul of its sole
proprietor with delight. He must be n
man suro to get tho vote of the inde-
pendents, q democrat who was not opposed
to the war, and he must not be free
trader. How would tho Widow Butler
please the World? 1t strikes us that he
possesses the required qualifications.

The United States coast and geodetic survey
has issued the following notice of important
changes at or near Cape lIenlopen:
/. The beacon Lighthouse at Cape Henlopen,
owing to the lnrOads of the sea, now stands
about twenty-five yards outside of the high
water line, and is consequently IN imminent
danger of being washed away. Mariners should
bear this In mind, and should thcyat any time
in coming in be unable to see the range of the
beacon with the cape light or the breakwatcr
light, they should not attempt to enter unless
they have IL good pilot; orthey should at least
keep to the northward of the breakwater range.
g It is intended by the United States engi-
neers to Immediately begin the filling In of the
channel between the eastern end of the ice
breaker and the western extremity of the
brcakwater by sinking ''mattresses' of brush
and branches preparatory to entirely closing
the opening by n continuous wall of stone. Ma
rincrs must beware of using this passage here
after, as it will, of necessity become more
shallow day by day, and an attempt to pass
through would be dangerous.
o. a llfe-savlng station has lately been built
about twenty-five yards back of the beach and
about 800 yards to the eastward Of the railroad
wharf at Iewes,

WOMAN is gradually acquiring hor
rights under the law. 1t has generally
been supposed that marriage settlements
arc made for the benefit of the wife, but
u case is now pending in New York city
IN which husband brings suit against
his wife to recover property promised to
him in an antc-nuptial agreement. The
Widow Macarthur covenanted to give
Alexander Boyd the half Of her third
) interest in an estate left to her by her
deceased husband if he would marry
her. Mr.. Boyd performed his part of the
agreement, but his wife (the late Widow
McCarthur) refused to make the promised
conveyance. Under tho laws of New
York, Mr. Boyd can compel his wife to
carry out her agreement. married
woman certainly labors under no legal
disabilities in New York, when sho can
be made defendant in u suit brought by
her husband to enforce an ante-nuptial
contract,

Hon. JOHN A. KAssoN, who was nomi-
mated by the President yesterday as min
lister to Germany. is an experienced
diplomatist and is in every way qualified
to fill tho high position to which ho has
been appointed. lie was sent abroad soon
after the close of the war to negotiate
postal conventions with tho principal
powers on the continent and this mission
brought him into contact with the lead
ing minds of Europe. During the admin
istra tion of President Hayes ho was
United States minister at Vienna. The
only thing to be regretted about the send
ing of Mr.. Kasson to Berlin is the fact
that he is needed in the house of repre-
sentativcs. He is born legislator, and a
leader on the republican side whom it is
generally safe to follow. When Mr..
Kasson leaves tho house he will be missed.

Good News In Abundance.

The election news in the city tO-dly is to
the following effect: Congressman Casey
Young is Just here from New York. He
says that 1t is almost impossible 10 find a
businessman there who is not for Cleve-
land; that the reported detection among
Democratic Irish laborcrs is all bosh that
the proprietor Of one German heer-g
in that city told him that OF the sixteen
hundred people in that garden, the most OF
whom had hitherto voted the Republican
ticket, all intended to vote for Cleveland,
and that from all he could see and hear in
New York he is convinced that the State
will give Cleveland an immense majority
Senator VOORHEES,, who has recentS arrived
from Indiana, says that never before has 4
canvass in that State looked so favorable for
the Democrats as now, and that the State il
as sure for Cleveland and Hendricks as
Texas. Dir. Scales, member Of the House
from North Carolina, and the Democratic
candidate for Governor OF that State, and
Mr.. Shober, from the same State, ex-Secre-
tary Of the United States Senate, concur in
the opinion that the lowest mai ority by
which the Democrats will carry North Ca
rolina is fifteen thousand. A prominent
Republican from the same State comedies
that Scales will have ten thousand majority
for Governor, but makes the remarkable
prediction that the State will. at the same
election, go for blaine WGshin7ton letter

Did we Intentionally omit the name OF
b. III. NASH, Esq, of this city, from the
several lists Of the Virginia CLEVELAND
delegates to the Chicago Convention? By
no means. We copied the articles as they
had appeared in other papers, and, we con-
TESS, without noticing that Mr.. NAsH's name
was omitted. He was the Virginia member
Of the Committee on Permanent Organiza-
ton at Chicago. But this is not what we
set out to say. We intended to state that
the first time we met Mr.. NASH after Mr..
TmDEN's letter Of defamation had appeared
we found him decidedly for CLEVELAND.
The fact Is, NASH Is almost never wrong.
lie knows intuitively what ought to be
done next.
