But it doesn't make much differenco what the Iows Democracy want ; they aro n very inconsiderablo ele- mont in the political composition of that State.

All efforts to obtain par- fon or commutation of the sentonce wera nnavailing, the President remaining firm to tho lnst in his rofusal to intarfero. ‘The Republican State Convention of Ala- bama adjourned yesterdny after nominating » strong State ticket, with the Hon, Trouas M. Prress atthe hend of it for Governor. No instructions wore given to the dclegates 1o the Cincinnati Couvention, but the dele- gation iz understood to bo for Secrotary Bristow for President.

Tho Republicans of Alabama, New Jorsoy, Ken- tucky, and Tennesseo, aud the Democrats of Towa and Ohio held Stato Conventions, ond tho Prohibitionists and Inflationists indulged in National Conventions at (love- land and Indionapolis respectively.

It increases tha rato of cost for a large class of postal service 10 per cont, but reduces tho aggre- gate appropriation 67 per cont; forbida the fiscontinuance of any mail route, but makes It & ponal offenso for tho Postmnster to ex. tced tho sum sppropriated. By a singular sversight tho sapiont Democrats nogleoted to tnact that service must be contragted for at present rates, but paid for on the bnsis of the roduotion of 67 per cent, and impose the death panalty for nmon-conformity, As the bill passed, it is a logislative absurdity which the Benate will havo tooverhanl and put into Intalligent and practicable shape, — It is now regarded as certain that (he Benata will decido that it has jurisdiction in tho BerxNar impeachment case, the principal ground of this dscision being that a roaigna. lon osnnot bo operative when made on the some day that jmpeachment articles are found, The question will probably bo de- tided Saturday, and tho trial will onsne & forthwith, It does not follow, however, that the Benato will convict BeLxwyar, who must be found guilty by a two-thirds vote, while a majority voto is sufficient to decido tho question of jurisdiotion. It ia quite pos- aiblo that, though tha proof of guilt should be absolute, twonty-five Senators, having scruples as to jurisdiction, may vote against Impeachment and thus provent a conviction, This ia a chance for oscapo which Berzwar doubtless contemplates with profound satis- faction, e —— 3 The nearest glimpso of the Presidency that will ever be vouchsafed Mr, PexpLeToN was obtained yeaterdsy when he was chosen Chairman of the Ohio Democratic Convon. tion.

We therefore ropeat tho statements : 1. The Democratic party is rensonably cer- tain of tho clectoral votes of all the late slavoholding Btates, excepting South Car- olina ; that in addition to theso votos the votes of California, Oregon, Connecticut, New Jersoy, and Now York will give the Democratio candidato moro than enongh to olect him; that whatover circumstances will lead to a Domocratic majority in Now York will naturally lead to tho samo resnlt in the other four Btates named ; that under this condition of things the Stato of Now York bosomes o matter of prime nocessity in tha election of o Domocratio candidate, mak- ing thot Stato one of the groat battle-fields of tho clection of 1876. 2. That thoe Democeratic Convontion will meet after tho Republican candidate shall bonominated; that the Demacratio Convon. tion will bo governed in their choics mainly by tho consideration of success, and, know- ing full well that Truoey can carry any other State that nny Domoerat can carry, thoy also know that he alone of all tho Democrats can promiso with some dogres of cartainty to carry the State of New Yorlk. Therafore, on tho presumption that tho Democratic party will act with ordinary common intolligence, and nominate to win, it is fair to assume, and the whole Democratic sentiment is drifting that way, tho Convention will nominate TiLDEN. ‘Tz Toipuxe has ventared to point out to the reckloss and inconstderats Republicans who think that anybody nominated at Cin. cinnnti must be clected, and that a nomina- tion is equivalont to an election, that the nomination of 'FipeN by the Democratio Convention will depond for ita succeas upon the fact whethor tho man nominated at Cin- cinnati is one who will bo ablo not only to carry New York against Trupzy in Novem- ber, but who will bo shle to carry Ohioin October next, Last fall, at tho most sovere- ly contested clectlon over held 1n Qhio, Gov. Havzs, who is personally popular, only suc. ceeded by a majority of leas than 1 per cent on the whole voto; and had not the Cincinna- 4 Commercial and other indopendent papers of that Btato given their support, or had Mr, Bonunz not gone to Ohio and so aronsed and animated the German independent votors to the danger which threatoned the country, it is very certain tha State would have given a large Demooratio majority. While Ohio has been o Republican Btate, 1% Is not onme that can bs handled by machine politicians. Ono-third of tho voters aro fudopendont of party; they are opposed to machine politics ; andif thoy have n cholce will not voto for & President who repro- sents machino politics, or who has been part of the corrupt uystem which has made our Civil Servico a national abomination, Ohio, whila it may be spared by the Democrats, is doubly essential to the Ropublicaus, . Ohio will vote for reforn,~n Republican Reform. or if possiblo; if not, then it will vote for tho next best Reformer thot is offerod. Obio, morcover, has & preliminary cloction in Oclober next, and, while a Republican victary at that election will 2dd largely to the chances of carrying New York in Novem. ber, a Republican defeat in Ohio in October will rendor defoat in New York olmost cor. tain, and turn the scalo in all the dlose States ogainst the Ilepublicans. Ohio, therofore, is, as well as Now York, to be a great battle. fiold, and tho Republican party cannot afford to nominate at Cinoinnati any candidats who is not certain boyond all reasonable doubt to carry New York and Obio, No sano or well. informed Ropublicsn in Ohio will say that any one of the machine politiciana who aro pressed for the Oincinnati nomination can hope to carry that Btate in October. Fati- mates based on supposed possible Democrat. io divisions aro not worthy of considoration.

Tho recorda of the Supreme Court of Indi. ano furnish tho Iatest illustration of the Domogratio corruption that survived the Domodratio rebellion, and which is about all that the dostruction of slavory loft of tha party that was held together by the cohesive powerof spoils. The four Democratie Judges of that Court wero elocted in 1870, Thoy are ‘Wonoex, Perrrr, Downey, and Buaxinx, the samo who are now the Democratic candi. dntes for re-cleotion. Tho offico to which thoy wore elected was popularly supposed to bo ono in which the practice of the spoils systom was impossiblo; no foes or perquisites attached to it, tho componsation of the Judgos boing limited to a fixed salary. But true to their party instincts, training, and associations, theso Democratic Judges invonted a method of manufacturing and captaring spoils, which thoy proceaded to do. 1t scoms thoy had authority to draw upon tho Btate Treasury for incidontal oxpenses of tho court,—janitor hire, repairs of furnitare, stationery, ete, | They did so, and an exam. ination of tho vouchers on file and approved by them discloses o system of small thievery by thess Democratic Judges of the highest tribunal of tho State that is without o paral. 1ol in the history of judicinl infamics, From theso vouchers, now on filein the State Audit- or'soflice, it appears that Justice Busimx purchased of an Indianapolis furniture firm two hair pillows, two hair bolstors, 10§ yards of sheeting, 11 ©yards of muslin for bed-clothes, n spriug. mat- tress, o cotton pillow, n pair of sheots, four bolster-slips, a pair of blankets, and a bed-sprend, which wero charged to the Bu. premo Court, and paid for out of the Stato Troasury upon vouchers approved by his fel. low-Judges. ; In liko manner, the Judges of the Bupreme Court provided thamselves, as nppears by the vouchers, at various times with 31 yards of oil-cloth, 6] yards of ofl- cloth, 7§ yards oil-cloth, 10} yards oil-cloth, 6 yards oil-cloth, y 8} yards oil-cloth, 10 yards oil-cloth, and 8 yards oil cloth, 27 yands of carpeling, 65 yords carpeting, €2} yarda carpoting, 65 yards agnin, 70 yards matting, a mosquito- bar, 3 walnat bodstesds and spring beds, ba- sides sovornl mattresscs, 3 marblo-top bu. reaus, azd tho like, As a curiosity in its way, a literal copy of one of these vouchers, now on fils, is appended : l’!fl'n' C.

These vouchers of themselves advertise tho potty thievery af tho Judges elected by tho Indiana Democraoy to presido over tho highest tri. bunal in the Btats. To that thiovery the Democratic party managers have mades them. selves acoessory after the fact by renominat- ing tho thioves after their crime was dis- closed for tho same high office ; and it all i of aplece with the Democracy of Frovp, Troumvson, and Twrep, which is also the Democracy of to-day, RAVY.YARD REFORM NEEDED. Wa are inclined to givo unstinted approval to tho report on the navy-yards which has beon submitted to Congress by Mr, Wicns, Chairman of the Bub-Committee intrusted with the examinntion of thosubject. Wo belleva 1t ought to bo adopted and legislation framed to carry out its recommendations, There is not a rensonnble doubt that large amounts of money havo been squandered on the American navy-yards for which the pub- lio service has received no adequate returs, and that thoy havo boen frequently employed as political machines. In both respocts the Davy-yards have been corrupters of the pub. lio service,—in tho one case spreading tho contagion for floecing tho Government in contracts, and in the other encournging par- tisan resort to unfair and disreputable meas- ures for success, ‘I'ho system under which thoy have been mansged has afforded n con. stant opportunity for Congressioual manipu. lation of sppointients aud the awarding of contracts, It is a notorious fact thatin certain of heso navy-yards thousands of men Lave boen employed st various times at tho cx- pense of the Government, for whose services thero was no legitimate demand, and who have merely beon used to assist tho political prefermont of Congressional orlocal candi- dates, There is bo doubt that the navy- ' THE'CHICAGO TR IBUN! yards, and the varlous ramifications of the nnval servico of which thoy are the centro, have furnished opportunities for the viclous practico of political nsscrsments, Commo- dora Prentx and other naval officors have testified boforo tho Committoe that contracts and orders were approved in Washington for which thero was no nocessity and in direct opposition to the judgment of tho ofcors in charge. The vory existence of so many of theso navy-yards has furnished a provoeation for oconsional extraondinary expenditures up- on tho elightest protext, such as Becretary Roneson hos made twice npon rumors of possible complications with Spain, Tho only remedy for all theso abuses is some complete and radical reform such as Mr. Wizrts' Committoo have rocommended, Itis proposedin tho first place to close all the navy-yards oxoopt those at Brooklyn, Nor. folk, and Maro Island at onco, and eventual- ly also that at Norfolk. This would give ono large navy.yord on the Atlantio const and anothor on the Pacific const, which would bo ample for all the necessities and conveniencea of the American navy during o profound ponce with all the world, Tho only logitimats uso of navy-yards, so long as this condition lasts,s for tho rapnir of ves- sels and machinery, and theso two yards nro 80 located aa to furnish cnsy mccoss to vesscls on cither side tho continont., »- As to tho othor navy.yards, it is proposed that Norfolk (Va.), Kittery (Mo.), and Pensncoln (Fln.) shall bo retained and giarded at amall coxponso, so that operations may bo resumed thore immedintely ‘whunuvnr tho neees- sity s arises. g This ' ia tho more propor sinco the location of theso yards is such that thoy would bring tho Governmont but o comparatively small sum if sold, - It is dificult, howorvor, with tho yards located at Washington and Charlestown, Mass, Theso yards are now centrally located in the two cities, and the property has becomo so valu- nblo that their sale would yield a handsomo sum of money; nor is thoir location so desirablo from n maval point of view that their abandonment would over eripple the service. It is rocommonded, and we bolievo properly, that no further approprintions bo made for Leaguo Island (tho Philadelphin) navy-yard. Tho Government might go oven furthor and assurs the complote abandon- ment of this yard by disposing of it alto- gether. It scems hard to loso all the money that has been exponded there; but this is a matter of past mismanagement which cannot now be helped, and it is better to -stand tho presont loss than to send millions upon millions of dollars af- ter it. Mr. Wruus' estimate that it will require $60,000,000 more to put Lengue Island in working condition is probably not exaggorated, since a vory largo part of that sum will bo neccessary to dig out the Dela- wiare River so that the largest vessels can be taken thero, If theso recommendations be carried out, thero will be two Inrge navy-yards, where all the necossary work can bo concentrated at o greatsnving. An ndditional saving may also bo mnde by ‘sbolishing the burcau system and making the commanding officer at ench responsiblo for tho management and ex- ponditures, This changowould bo the surest remedy for the abusos that havo cropt into the lotting of navy contrncts, the purchase of supplies, tho omployment of men, the hours of Iabor, tho numbor of clorks, oto,, ote. | Thero will then bo s dircct nnd porsonal naccountability for the monagement of each yard, and it will be within the power of tho Becrotary of tho Navy or Congress at any timo to ascertain the cost of maintaining tho yards or doing any special picco of work i and it will bo practicable and easy to onforco any roform or rotrenchment which shall be demanded, for tho officer in chargo will al- waya feel the responsibility and cannot shift it off on any burenus, Logislation to nccom- plish all this should be promptly provided, and we know of no branch of the public sor- vico where legialation ¢an save so much pub. lic monoy now or for tho future. e ——— BTRENGTH OF THE ISTIAN REVOLU- TION IN TURKEY. In computing the probabilities of the suc- cess of tho Christian insurgents in tho strag- gle with their Mohammedan oppressors there has always bocn one cloment of diffl- culty in uscortnining their renl military strength, so thatit has been impossible to detormine whothor they could maintain a war with Tarkey upon their own means of ng- gression or defonse, or whother thoir only Lope of success would depond upon forcign intorvention. Bomo light, howover, has now boen thrown upon the subjeet by Horr Vox Wiokeor, an eminont German military au. thority, who has been a closo observer of all the wars of tho pust twenty-five years, and who was the famous correspondent of the Kolnixche Zeitung during the Franco-Ger- man war.4 Having recently completod a mil- itary roviow of Turkoy for the .Aligemeine Zeitung, ho hos now, - for the same paper, mado a reviewsof the offenalve and de. fensive eapabilitics of Roumanin, Servia, and Montenegro, from the aggregate of whichhe arrives at the goneral conclusion that theso powezs, even if left to thomselyes, would be very likely to got tho botter of tho Turks, Bome of tho dotails of , his ohservations will prove of very genoral intercst, : In point of military power ho places Roumania between Sorvia and Montencgro. § The Roumaninns oxcel the 8erbs in numbers, but in physique, courage, and discipline, the Sarbs are supe- perior to tho Roumaninns, § 1o claims that the Roumanian governing clasaca are among the loast worthy spacimens of an aristocracy in tho world ¥ Mo also remarks: { **Espocial- ly intho upper ranks in Roumania there reigna generally—of courso with numcrous excoptions—snch corruption, effominacy, and immorality that itis almost impossible for them to produce efliclent officers, Those young Boyars havo usually dovoted them. selves to all the excessss of the modern civil- ization of tho West, aud often outatrip thelr Parislan models,” * The army . numbers on the war footing 45,000 regular troops and 8,000 horses, with 124 guns, togother with a speciea of active reserve of militia numbor- ing some 23,000 men, DBesides these thore is the Natioual Guard, corresponding to the German Landwehr, which embraces the re. maining munhood of tho country. In Her- via and Montenegro the peoplo aro martial and warlike by naturo, and have been thoroughly trained and organized for war, Montenegro, having only a population of 120,000, can place 23,000 men under arms.
