JESSE JAMES IN NEU- YoRK 4 FAILURE.

The picturesque exploit of the latest New

he took great deal OF trouble for nothing and
that as an illustrious gambler recently con-
fesscd, the same amount Of brains and energy
applied to Legitimate industry would have reapcd
a surer reward, The robbery was one CT the
most daring on record and readers Of dime novels
will search in vain for a parallel in the fictitious
annals of Western rulianism. But II inspires no
fear for the security Of railroad travel in this
State, and prospective "road agents. can only
learn from it a sautary, if depressing, lesson.
The train, leased by the American Express
Company and employed TO transport specie and
other valuable express matter to Chicago IS the
same which was boarded and robbed near Utica
last September In each case the methods fol-
lowed have been similar, and the detectives are
probably right in fixing the two robbeneS on the
same man. The September thief entered the eX-
prcsscar by laboriorsly saving through panel
of the front door, covered the express messenger
whose back was turned, with revolver, and,
after securing one or two small packages backed
10 the platform, cut the airbrake rbber-hose,
thus setting the brakes on the entire tram,
and then jumped off and disappeared. Tho

Mr. Curts's address on Lowell, delivered in
BROOKLYN last evening and printed in full in our
columns this morning is one OF his most finished
and eloquent productions Lowell was his dear
friend, and of him he spoke both with the ardor
of friendship and with the discriminating power
of the critic. The Grafton was in fact eulogy,
and was heard with delight and unbounded in
terest by large audience.
Hills speech to the convention which he " set
up and "ran" is rather more amusing than his
previous efforts. The mixture of goody -goody
matter and ignorance on important public ques-
tons which it contains is only equalled by its
authors affected surprise at the action OF the
ment that the Democrats "have no money"
Another highly interesting touch is this declara-
ton that the choice of the partys National stand
ard bearer "is matter of very least impor-
tance.' Why, then, it may be asked, all this
fuss and this unprecedented midwinter ccnven-
ton?
Members Of the Bar Association OF this city
are naturally disinclned to talk freely in regard

however, that the matter will be brought up at

reference Of it to a committee will doubtless fol-
low. In that case it is much TO be hoped that
the committee will deal with it in frank aEd
fearless manner. Such blot as the appointment
Of Maynard has never before been put upon the
highest court Of the State. A calm and earnest
protest against it by the Bar Association would
have most wholesome effect, and would be
sure to cause Maynard's defeat should he be a
candidate for . iudeeship before the peeple next

The ant-Hill contingent lost no tine, after
being snubbed by the State Committee IN ar
ranging to carry their movement to its logical
conclusion. Even while Hill was addressing his
subservient followers his opponents were per-
fecting their plans. They decided to hold a
State Convention at Syracuse on May 81, and
to choose contesting delegation to be sent to
the National Convention. The earnest spirit
and businesslike way in which these men trans
acted their business bode no good to Hill, and
make it impossible for him to put forth any
claim that he represents united party IN MS

DEFEATING THEIsEIvE

We often think that the Republicans waste good deal of time and thought in efforts to defeat the Democrats. The fact is, the Democrats will defeat themselves whenever they have a chance to do it. It seems to be their destiny. They are at it now, as usual. Some of the clear-headed ones see the situation, but their protests are unheeded. For instance, Congress- man McCreary of Kentucky is in despair with congress and says that the members might as we'll be at home as at Washing ton, for all the good they are doing. "We cannot even pass an appropriation bill" he says, "without quarreling among our selves, and the Republicans look on and laugh, and the country grows more dis gusted with us every day." Of course it does. When the Springfield Republican feeis moved to say what it does about "the fool Democratic congress" the situa- tion must be desperate. Says the Repub- lican: By carrying through the House by great majority an outrageously extrava- gant river and harbor appropriation bill, the Democracy in congress gives the lie to every profession made in favor of economy in expenditure of the peoples money; to every claim of loyalty to the Democratic principle of closely limiting the jurisdiction of the federal government, and to every appearance of sincerity in its oft-repeated denunciations of the extrava- gance of the "Billion- dollar Congress" of the Republicans. Ithas been found utterly untrustworthy in dealing with the silver question. Its desultory and half hearted and incongruous efforts to reform the tariff have created popular impression of insincerity and fearfulness even there. It has proved itself at every turn an incompetent, hypocritical, untrust- worthy, unorganizsd, leaderless mob.
 It is certainly discouraging to be Dem ocrat or an assistant Democrat. There is small satisfaction in travelling about in the wilderness for thirty or forty years, occa- sionally getting glimpse of the promised land, and then getting drunk and losing the road to it.
