blow to the Liberal cause.


Grant Republicans who pride themselves on
their morality and virtue are very much elated at the
result Pennsylvania but very backward about recog

the original Bourbon. Let President Thers be ON his

The RenomnatiOnists are counting upon
success In November through the moral influence of
their victory in PENNSYLVANIA. As that victory is the
election OF dishonest man by fraud the moral influence
from such popular Endorsement OF rascaity must be
inoacua0le.


The Grant organs are terribly enyaged be-
the Liberal journals refuse give up the fight The
sight OF table which shows the undeniable fact that
there States certain for Greeley than for Grant,
almost throws them into conyulsons IL Is so absurd
you know. Now and then one OF them tries the funny
dodge, but with poor success. Like the fun which
followed Cincinnati, it has very funereal aspect.

A singular incident is told in connection
with the arrival in London of Marguerite
Dixblancs, whose shocking murder of her
mistress in Park Lane recently created such
a sensation in England. On hearing of the
prisoners arrival one Thomas Lewis gave
himself up, declaring that he had assisted
the woman in the niarder. He was taken
into custody and committed, but it soon
appeared that he could by no means have
been anywhere near the scere of the
tragedy, and that in truth he had never
seen either Dixblancs OF her victim in his
life. Further inquiry disclosed the fact
Lewis was excessively drunk on the night
he surrendered himself, and that his charge
against himself was simply a wild freak of
intOxicatiOn. He was dismissed with fine
of a shilling, and a sharp admOnition, on
solemnly promising that he would 'never

GOVERNOR GgATz Brown, in his speech at
New Haven the other evening, opened the cam
paign for the opposition coalition Presidential
ticket in Connecticut with marked emphasis
and confidence in the result of the November
election, and with manifestations of high en-
thusiasm from the immense crowd assembled
to hear him. He did not beat about the bush
in his endorsement ofM Greeley but said -
II believe him to be a great and grand
statesman" Nor was he slow or luke
warm in his opinion of the popularity of
this new departure of the democracy
under true republicans as their standard
bearers. "This ticket" he said, sis going to
sweep the country from one end to the other in
a manner which will make the hair stand
straight up on some Of your heads" Mr..
Brown said further that he would not be sur
prised .'if General Grant does not carry three
States in the nation" Here at all events, in
the democratic candidate for Vice President,
we have those great qualities displayed essen
tial to vigorous prosecution of the campaign-
ability, enthusiasm, and confidence in the re-
suit and we dare say that this is not the last
the administration party in this canvass will
hear Of Governor Brown.

Brazil AND THE ARGENTINE CoNFEDERA.
TIoN-A PROSPECT OF WAR.-The very inter-
esting statement which we published yester-
day, from our correspondent at Rio Janeiro, on
the warlike relations developed between Brazil
and the Argentine Confederation, indicates the
probability of o bitter conflict between these
two Powers before many months are over. The
trouble between these two nations has grown
out of that war upon Paraguay in which the
foolish Argentines were the allies Of Brazil.
We predicted at the time that after the sub
jugation of the intervening republic of Para-
quay, Brazil when ready for it, would find
occasion for o quarrel with her allies, with a
view to the enlargement of her boundaries
southwark. In this case however, the provo
cation for war seems to come from the Argen-
tines, while Brazil against their warlike blus-
terings appears to hold the attitude of digni-
fed forbearance and contempt In any event
it is apparent that the Argentine Confederation
has gained nothing from its late offensive
alliance with Brazil against Paraguay, and
should war follow between these late allies, we
apprehend that they will soon discover in
Buenos Ayres that in assisting to disarm Para
quay they have opened the door to their most
dangerous enemy.

large number of caterpillars have appeared
through the cotton belt three weeks earlier
than ever before, and that the weather which
develops the worm continues. We regret to
receive this information, but hope the ravages
of this terrible caterpillar will not be as bad as
anticipated. Cotton in the far South is pretty
well advanced, and the scourge may only be
local The planters and cotton spectators
sometimes exaggerate, to influence the market,
and we must wait little longer before de-
Gliding upon any damage to or the amount Of

The Chappaqua Philosopher yesterday re-
ceived official notification from delegation of
the unterrifed of his nomination as democratic
candidate. Horace was in good humor, and
playfully informed the delegation that he was not
in thehabit of replying to notifications of NOM
ination as Presidential candidate. This sun
accustomed as am kind of reply tickled the
unterrifed very much. and they swore by st.
Tammany that good Uncle Horace should be
carried to the White House if all the ballot
boxes in the Union had to be
used up. This profanity charmed the
the company to a teetotal picnic on his Chap
paqua farm, where he will hold forth to-day on
what he knows about raising votes. Uncle
Horace bears his blushing honors with the
equanimity of on ancient stoic and declares
that he is ready to sacrifice everything save
his republicanism to save the country from
Grant. The democrats are no less enthusias-
tic or self-sacrifcing. In order to show the
stuff they are made of they will undertake to-
day to clear at least half an acre of the Gree
ley wood just to demonstrate how much
they know about woodchopping and make
some return for the free lunch and spring
water which Uncle Horace so literally offers.
Gratz Brown was taken suddenly ill yes
terday morning. and it was thought
at one time he was changing color
and looking somewhat blue but towards
evening, thanks to bottle from the Chappaqua
springs, he became himself again, and pledges
himself to drink spring water if necessary to
overthrow the man on horseback Such de-
votion deserves victory.

The SoUTHsIDE RAILROAD DISASTER. The
verdict of the Coroners jury on the
bodies of those killed by the collision
on the Southside Railroad on Long
Island deserves the special attention and
approval of the community. The con-
ductor, Rathbone, and his engineer, Scott,
were both taken in charge in consequence of it,
and will, doubtless have to answer for the re-
suits of their negligence of rules before the law.
We are gratifed, also, TO learn that the jury
embodied in their verdict the following point,
to which we earnestly invited attention few
days ago:--"We also find that in our opinion
no steam railroad should be operated on o
single track and that all stations or stopping
places should be connected by telegraph"

Withdrawn from the performance Of their
usual and necessary duties to protect every
little body of fanatics who may ch9ose, to pro-
woke hostile attack, the sooner the Legislature
Of the State interferes to put an end to oil for
eign celebrations the better. This would ap-
pear to be the logical issue out of our present
trouble, as we certainly cannot afford to main
tain an army of policemen for the purpose of
keeping the peace between bands Of imported
fanatics. The ludicrous appearance of the few
hundred Orangemen,, guarded on all sides by
an army of police officers, ought to cure the
most ardent enthusiast; and could these peo-
pie only sec themselves as others see them we
should no longer be troubled with Orange pro-
cessions. It is creditable to the good sense Of
the majority of the Irish population that the
celebrants and the spectators were so few. No
doubt the advice OF the HERALD was not lost on
them. The peaceful issue of the days pro-
ceedings will rob the demonstration OF all in
terest in the mind of Americans; and now that
the rights of all classes have been fully vindi-
Gated we hope we have seen the last Of the Or
ange parades. If the admirers of King William
desire to honor his memory they can do so
with eminent propriety in their lodges, without
causing any uneasiness to the citizens or en-
dangerinq the peace of the city. 1t would,

Noticing the other day, In addresses at

 the Morse testimonial meeting at the capital, instances given of the wonderful things which the telegraph enables us to do, it oc- cured to us that there was one great result to which allusion was not made, to wit !: the transmission of time by telegraph. Through the agency of the wire and the electric spark, the transit, except in some central city results or an observation taken or calculation made can be sent over the wires hundreds of miles in every direction in infinitely less time than the twinkling of an eye. Many jewellers avail themselves of the telegraph in ascertaining the time and governing the regulators. Take for in- stance Mcssrs. D. H.

The New Yorker sends word that at precisely such a moment he shall send the time; and all being ready and the second hand on the dot, the opera tor touches the instrument, and in flash, in the infnitisimal fraction of a second, practically ''in no time at all," the wire at this end clicks, MT.
