Year: 1874




about to found new party is one Of the most
important events resulting from the canvass,
and, although he denies it in his interview
with our correspondent in Boston, which we
print to-day, still the party itself may con-
strain him to accept the Office which he
would modestly decline. We have felt
for some time that the General was too
large man to be comfortable in any
existing party organization, in this respect re-
minding us Of the late lamented Tweed, who
preferred finally, under the pressure of events,
to serve on BlackwelIs Island rather than
rule on the island of Manhattan. The details
of this proposed party are not given to us,
but both republicans and democrats will
watch with interest the movements Of the
Essex statesman. 1t seems certain that the
General has reached the end Of his usefulness
as republican, his democratic usefulness hav-
ing come to an end ten or twelve years ago.
Nothing is left to him but new party.


There will be no lack of men, and conspic-
nous men, to assist in this new organization.
Colonel Mann, Of Philadelphia. is a famous
recruit, and there are q number of eminent
Pennsylvanians who share the condolences of
Colonel Mann who would gladly follow the
General. Several gentlemen now under trial
in Washington will, if they keep out Of Jail,
make admirable members. New York is rich
in recruits. The Honorable John Morrissey,
a very powerful statesman, is now unattached
to any party, and he has q friend by the
name of Hayes, now in search Of employ
ment, who would be of value to the new
movement Ned Hogan and John Fox and
Jimmy O'Brien and the modorn Adonis, Tom
and point to tho organization. Then there Is
our old friend, Knickerbocker Havemeyer,
who has claims. 1t would be common
charity for Benjamin to give the old man
seat by the fire and pipe. Comptroller
Green will soon havo leisure, and this new
party would give him opportunity, and if the
General is not too particular about his asso-
Citations he will And no trouble in obtaining
Mr.. Waterbury and Charley Spencer and Dick
Croker. Since the unfortunate quarrel between
Uncle Dick and the democratic organ the
venerable statesman of Rhinebeck may also be
said to be without q party. We commend
Uncle Dick to the new party. He will give it
wisdom and experience and pay all the wine
bills.


This new party will, of course, have the value
OF Mr. Sanborn's counsel, and we shall be dis
appointed If Mr. Jayne is not assigned to a
high place. Throughout the South there are
thousands Of unappreciated gentlemen-Kel-
logg, Dick Busted, Whittemore. Governor
Moses and many others of equal renown-who
would rally to the new movement. These men
are not wanted by the republicans and would
not be accepted by the democrats, and the
Butler party is their only relief We would
also recommend Mr. Theodore Tilton, Young
man OF great ability, out of employment, and
seemingly more in need Of good, hard, whole
some work speaking, writing, woodchop-
ping or something respectable--than any man
we know. Mr.. Noulton, if he is not other
wise employed in serving the State, will no
doubt, be open to an offer.


If General Butler will found this party ho
will do the country great service Then, if
he will emigrate with his party to the southern
districts Of New Mexico, he will attain unpre-
cedented popularity and become as great
man in politics as Brigham Young in religion.





The RUSSIANS OPPORTUNITY IN CENTRAL
ASIA. From Central Asia we learn that tho
Khiyan population is demoralized, even to
anarchy. The Turcomans have rcbelled
against the Khan, and fear holds mastery in
his council The Cabinet advisers of His
Highnoss have informed him that the aid Of
Russia is indispensable to prevent his oblitera-
ton as al executive power In this tho Gar
may fnd an opportunity to further prepare
for tho great conflict which the Russians must
eventually fight with tho conquerors OF Cam
dahar and Cabool on the plains Of Hindostan.
