THE CAMPAIGN IN D4HOMRY.

The good wishes OF the civilized world will
accompany the little French army that is now
marching inland from the Gold Coast to crush
the barbarous power of King Behanzin. Da-
honey has long been one OF the blacklist spots
on the whole Dark Continent, and its name
stands for all we know Of cruelty and rapine.
To storm it's capital and reduce its savage King
to subsection will be cOmmendable work as
was the similar movement against the neigh
boring kingdom of Ashantee by the British,
nearly twenty years ago. The recent events
that have impelled the French Government to
take this decisive step are well known. King
Behanzin has ruthlessly violated bis treaties,
and has again and again attacked the settle
ments at Porto NOvo and elsewhere under
French protection. lie has shown himself one
who must be dealt with as savage beast.
II would be as well to make treaty with a
wolf as with him: or to appeal to the humane
instincts Of tiger as to his. lie must be
crushed, or the whole region must be aban-
doned to his bloody sway. The former is the
course upon which France has properly decided.
The campaign should not prove a particularly
serious one: certainly not nearly so arduous
as was that of the British against Coomassie.
Abomey, to begin with, is only seventy miles
from the coast, or fifty miles nearer than
Coomassie. and the character OF tho country Is

THE REPUBLICAN, PRESS.

There can be no doubt that political party
is largely indebted for its strength and energy
+, the newspapers which advocate its principles
and support its candidates There may be
some papers whose influence is mschievons'
and whose services could be better spared than
not by the organization to which they profess
attachment, but in the aggregate party Jour
mails perform an immense amount oil loyal
jealous, intelligent and Indispensable work III
behalf of the political causes to which they are
committed Their original contributions to The
common store of knowledge and argument are
many and fruitful, and in addition to this they
supply the only means of swiftly and univer-
sally diffusing the influences which spring from
other sources Through them campaign COM
mittees and speakers address the whole country
at once, and so find their efficiency enormously
multiplied
The Republican party OF New-fork' and
therefore the whole party, has great advan-
taoe tIIs year by reason Of the fact that far
larger part Of the newspaper press OF thIs city
is on lis side than ever before lie TRIBUNE,
which has engaged in more than one political
contest with scarcely a single ally among it'
contemporaries, heartily welcomes these stanch
and jealous recruits, and rejoices TO serve the
common cause Of good government at their
side. "The Press" and 1.-THE Mail and tx-
press are not new arrivals on the field, but they
will permit MS to say that they are constantly
disclosing new resources Of energy and skill.

parent. "The Commercial" have simnlfane-
ously ceased to doubt the paramount necessity

birth alert, enterprising, resourceful and on the
right side, is impressing itself and the pr'n'
ciples for which it is contending upon large
and rapidly expanding circle OF readers.

Democrats were unable yesterday to take
cheerful view of Commissioner Pec!t's report.
They INDUCED in charges of treachery, and be-
hind the report professed to see the cloven hoof
of David b. Hill. Not one of them was capable
of perceiving in Mr.. Peck's facta and figures
the result Of IN impartial investigation, despite
the circumstance that the Commissioner was
first apo nied by their cand date for the Presi-

show that Republicans have good reasons for
rejoicing at this unexpected Republican cam

But the objection to wearing mourning Is not
criticism aimed at any legitimate expression OF
heart-breaking sorrow. Death is the crucial tesc

DR.. Holmes celebrated his eighty third birth
day In the Quietest possible way at his summer
home at Beverly Farms. lie is in good con-
dition, both mentally and physically with the
exception that his eyesight is somewhat i'm
paired. His working days are over, and he is
enjoying the delights of serene and unrutfied
old age. In conversation yesterday he recalled
the fact that he was born in the same year with
Gladstone, Tennyson, Lincoln and Darwin. II
was indeed a remarkable year and the birth
OF the AutOcrat was by no means the least i'm
portant incident in its 3s5 days.
Reports regarding the cholera in Europe dc
not grow more encouraging. Cases OF the dis
ease were officially reported yesterday in Berlin
and Bremen, and in Great Britain the scourgd
is spreading alaimngly. There appears to
have been sad lack of care in the case OF
vessels arriving in that country from infected
ports. Additional precautions against the en-
trance of the disease into the United States arc
being taken by the Quarantine officials at this
port and the city authorities now fully apprc-
ciate the importance Of being ready to cope
with the cholera il il makes its appearance
here. Unfortunately, there are other ports OF
entry which are poorly prepared Tor all
emergency.
The Murphy Maynard correspondence Is ex-
tremely interesting, and in a sense extremely
important. The most natural construction ia

Maynard down easily. We venture to say that
Edward Murphy was well aware, when he wrote
his letter what Maynards reply would be. The
Democratic party of New-York has done many
sudacious and indefensble things but it would
never dare to nominate person like Maynard
