There is plenty of time to beal the breach, and, like Governor Marcy, men’ the breeches, before the fall elec- tions. The ‘‘cohesive power of public plun- der” will no doubt preserve the domination of Tammany in this cite for a long time to come. Forty Portormen were erraigned before Commissioner Manierre yesterday on minor charges, and in view of the gallantry of the force on ibe 12th instant the charges were all dismissed. This vordict will mect the appro- bation of all sensible citizens of the communi- ty; and now we suggest tbat the insignificant charges against Captyin Petty, who was a per- fect Marsha! Ney on that occasion, Le also dis- missed. Spaw is likewise trow with the Puro- pean nightmare, the International Society. Marshal Serrano has proposed a decree to the King declaring the Internationals social pari- abs, and lawful game to any self-constituted hunter. The general desire of the govern- ments of Europe just now is to do with the International as Shakspeare’s Emelia uncon- sciously proposed to do with Iago, ‘‘to lash the rascal naked through the world.” Moxg Riormse mm Loxvox.—A cable de- spatch which we print this morning bas it that there has been quite a serious riot at Green- wich, near London, A man named Pook had been acquiited in a trial for murder, The people were indignant. Justice, they said, had been'mocked. The mobswelled and mul- tiplied. Four thousand people fought for possession of Pook to finish him after the man- ner of Judge Lynch. For four hours and a half the fight lasted; but Pook was saved and the police won the day. This in Greenwich! No wonder they are afraid of a mob in Hyde Park. We can see a litile of our own far West in this. Bat our Western boys would have made sure of Pook. Tue vuoi Lyxouers, who hanged Mar- tin Mera for brutally murdering his son, are known to the Sheriff of the county, who has been Instructed by the Governor to arrest them, tho latter pledging the whole power of the Btate to aesist him in tle duty. If ever ny one deserved lynching it was Martin Mera, by bis own showing, and although respect for the law should be maintained it is hardly worth while to arrest five or eix hun- Gred of the men who lynched him in order to malotainit. The delays and quibbles of petti- fogaing lawyers in criminal cases, where guilt ‘Dhdowdted, do more to lower respect for the Jow than auch cases of lynching aré apt to do, NEW YOKK HSRALD, WEDNESDAY, JULY 19, 1871—WITH SUPPLEMENT, | ‘The National Democracy—Their New De- | and the popular acts of his administration, | partere and Their O14 Presidential Can- didates. Reflect new glories and augment ot So says Alexander H. Stephens in his new journal, the Atlanta (Ga.) Sun, in reference to the general complaints from the progressive Southern democracy touching his suicidal policy of hostility to the ‘‘new departure.” He will have nothing to do with this thing. He repudiates it and execrates it, and will never accept, as an old line Southera State sovereignty democrat, the fourteenth and fif- teenth amendments, which he regards as out- rages upon the Southern States and as frauds upon the constitution. He will have nothing less than the Tammany national platform of 1868; and upon this ultimatum, which is like- wise the ultimatum of Jeff Davis and General Toombs and General Wade Hampton, it is evident that Mr. Stephens has now, and will probably have at the Democratic National Convention of next year, a host of powerful backers, controlling am important political balance of power. For example, the Mobile Register, a leading democratic journal of Alabama, says of this “new departare” that, ‘‘so far from being a bridge to pass over new mombers Into the democratic camp” ‘it is a bridge that lures and marches over the democratio camp to radical mongrolism.” But our Mobile con- temporary is encouraged in the opinion that “‘the democratic masses cannot be brought to encourage the movement ;” and that ‘‘when it comes to be analyzed in the national party convention next year a great majority will be found that prefer to stand boldly against fraudulent interpolations in the constitution to whitewashing them as dead issues.” On the same tack the Dardanelle (Ark.) Chronicle says :—‘‘If the Northern democrats choose to acoept the late so-called amendments to the con- stitution they can do so; but we are still opposed to them, at all times and under all circumstances. If they choose to abandon the old, well-tried, time-honored landmarks, they can do so; we will not now or ever follow after them. If they choose to become repub- licans to defeat republicans, or radicals to defeat radicalism, they can just do so; we will none of it, If the Northern people are too corrupt, too ignorant, too unfit for self- government, and must needs have a strong goveroment, a government changed from what it was in 1861, a government consoli- dated and centralized at Washington, they can just fix it that way. We will spurn it and spit upon it still, and call aloud for heaven and earth to witaess the betrayal of constitu- tional liberty." These are samples which serve to show the prevailing opinions of a large body of leading Southern men, whose ideas were burned into them by their four years’ fiery ordeal with their “lost cause.” Even in Kentucky, where one would suppose the sentiments of tho democrats on the leading issues of the day would be somewhat colored from their con- tact with the bordering Northera States of Ohio, Indiana and Illinois, we find the leading men on the party State ticket supporting the old Bourbon platform against the new depar- ture. In fact, the Southern border counties of Ohio, Indiana and Lllinols appear to be now, as in the old slavery times, largely in- fluenced by the Bourbon democracy of Ken- tucky, without exerting any visible influence over the river, except to a slight degree in a few of the river citles and towns. Thus the Cincinnati Znguirer, true to its ancient pro- slavery submission to Kentucky, scouts the “new departure,” and says that if we are to have the two party platforms, ‘‘almost alike as two peas, except that one may have in it & black speck made by afly or something else,” the democracy will accomplish nothing; and that ‘unless the party out of power can present principles and measures superior and sharply antagonistic to those of the party in power the people will not tear their shirts to put one out and the other in.” Wo have evidence here enongh to satisfy the refleciing politician that this ‘‘new departure,” instead of harmonizing, is operating to demor- alize, distract and divide the democratic party North and South, The only saving alternative, then, lefi to the democracy is to make this new departure a secondary matter, and to try the experiment of consolidating all sections and factions of the party upon a stroag, command- ing Presidential ticket, Whattwo mea, of all others, will form such a ticket? Most of the old and some of the new candidates of the party have been interviewed on the subject, but each and all of them have thelr objections to this man, that man and the other, bacause exch men of the catalogue is looking out for himself, Thus a morning city contemporary (the Sun) reports an interview with Governor Gratz Brown, of Missouri, from which it ap- pears that in Governor Brown's opinion Chief Justice Chase will not do for the democracy, because ‘‘his health is not good.” Hendricks, tho Governor considers ‘“‘a very available man,” but asks ‘‘could Hendricks carry the country for the democratic party?” The ques- tion carries its answer in the negative. Gene- ral Hancock will not do, ‘for the trouble just now is the superabundance of West Point red tape.” The men of the West have no particular fancy for Governor Hoffman, because heis ‘‘so irretrievably allied to Tammany” that even if nominated “the would be sure-.of defeat.” So we are left to infer that, in the opinion of Governor Gratz Brown, Brown is the man. And ¢o it is with all of them, We have already recommended to the de- mocracy the Presidential ticket of Chase and Hancock, together with Cabinet ticket, in- cluding such leading men, who belleve in one term for General Grant, as John Quincy Adams, Governor Hoffman, Governor Ran- dolph, Pendleton, Hendricks, General Frank Blair and Governor Walker as the strongest combination of men that could be brought to bear against General Grant. And the more we consider this combina- tion the more we are impressed with its strength, Oa the old plan of simply proclaim- ing a Presidential ticket, we may have again in 1872 the haphazard nomination, under tho great diffloulty of the two-thirds rule, of some such unexpected obscurity as Polk or Pidrce, It may be asked, why not, looking at the suc- cess of both Polk and Pierce? We answer that this game of 1844 and 1952 will not answer for 1872, bocauso In 1852 it was played out. Thatisenough, Against Goneral Grant. Extraordinary Orimes ef the Day. such as the reduction of taxes and expendi- | We seem just now to be passing through tures, and the fnorease of treasury receipts meantime, and the heavy redemptions of the national dght and the great treaty of peace with England, &0., thé can do nothing without a strong an Presi- Alential ticket; and to heal all thelr sectional ‘snd personal grievances in reference to such ‘a commanding ticket as Chase and Hancock, they can do nothing better than to couple with it a Oabinet ticket of their left-out Prosi- dential aspirants, such as we have indicated. The two-thirds rule of the democratic Presi- Geatial conventions has been fruitful of mis- obief to the party, divisions and defeats, till, at Charleston, from the irreconcilable dissen- sions of the party upon {ts candidates, it was broken to pieces and the country was planged into a gigantic civil war. Now, to bring and to hold all sections and factions of the party together in 1872, we repeat they oan do nothing better than to nominate a Oabinet ticket with their Presidgntial tloket. By this process thelr leading Presidential aspirants, holding over four, eight or twelve years, may all be provided for and all satisfied, and thus secion, wl Necagca ae party on Presidential ticket and enlarge the field 0: cussion in its favor. It is manifest that the democrats in this coming campaign will need all the strength they can muster. It is appa- rent that the new departure is a perplexing conundrum to the old dyed-in-the-wool Bour- bons, and will be a difficulty in the national party conventions. It is visible to all the world that the late hideous atrocities of the Paris Commune have, in both hemispheres, produced a reaction in favor of ‘‘the powers that be” against violent political changes and revolutionary parties ; and in this view General Grant and his administration are stronger than they wore six months ago, abroad and at home. Clearly, then, it is the policy of the demo- cracy to compromise their difficulties upon their new departure, in a Presidential and Cabinet ticket which at once will reconcile all divi- sions of the party, and command the general confidence of the country; and the combined tickets we have suggested, will, we believe, serve these important purposes. One thiog is certain, and that is that no such experiment as Polk, Pierce, Buchanan or Seymour will serve to meet the necessities of the democracy in 1872. The Evangelical Alliance and Its Mission to Rusela—Letter from a Groek Priest. In another place In this day’s Heraxp will be found a letter from a priest of the Greek Church, relative to the mission of certain mem- bers of the Evangelical Alliance to the Ozar of Russia and to a recent editorial of ours on the subject. We gladly print the letter. In com- menting upon great events we have no de- sire but to be truthful and impartial. The writer of the letter it is manifest understands as yet but very imperfectly the character of American liberty. Otherwise he could never compare the noble mission undertaken by some of our most esteemed and trusted citizens to a European deputation whose business should be to wait upon the President of the United States, asking him to interpose in favor of the Mormons or the Ku Klux. If Euro- peans should undertake any such foolish mis- sion we answer our correspondent that it would not “immediately create a legitimate outburst of indignation all over the United States.” We should entertain them, enlighten them as to our liberal institutions, and send them home to imitate our example, We thank our correspondent for the information his let- ter contains. Weassuro him, however, that toleration in Russia isa very different thing from toleration in the United States. We know many good priests of the Roman Catholic Church who could tell sad tales of sorrow ex- perienced at the hands of the Russian authori- ties in Poland. In regard to the Baltic Pro- vinces, we know too much to believe that the members of the Evangelical Alliance have been decoyed into a mission which was un- called for. We are willing to wait the reply of the Czar and the report of the delegates. By the way, what say our Jewish fellow citi- zens about toleration in Russia? ” Tuters AND Gampetra.—The Paris journals speak of negotiations going on betweon Thiers and Gambetia for the establishment of a mod- erate republic in France, The position which Thiers now occupies gives him a power which he can exercise for good or evil for France. Gambetta in the National Assembly will, if we mistake not, rank among the foremost leaders of the nation in her “new departure” on a9 course which will tend to develop all the dormant energies of the people. These two men, acting sincerely, honestly, energetically and patriotically to- gether, can realize for France, under the republic, that prosperity which she never yet reached under monarchy or empire, Lot this be their aim, and France, instead of being the first empire in Europe, will become the first republic of the Old World. Tax Soctaist Rior m Vienna.—The cap- ital of Austria las had its disturbance, On Sunday last a terrible riot broke out there, The police were powerless to suppress the émeute and the military had to be called in to bring the rioters to terms, The disturbance was created by a party of socialists who found some means to bring themselves {nto col- lision with the clerical party. This led to the disgraceful proceedings, which required the aid of the military to quell. We have little more than the mere announcement of the affair, and consequently are not ia a posi- tion to judge correctly as to which party was {nthe wrong. This we do know, that for months past an unhealthy sentiment has beon growing up in Austria against the ultramon- tanes, and nothing would afford greater satis- faction to the socialiste—who, to a great ex- tent, share the opinions of the Paris Oom- munists—than to precipitate a conflict of the character which the cable informs us took place in Vienna last Sunday, A Witp Bott carried terror and panic into the neighborhood of Nioth avenue and Thirty. eighth street yesterday, and in his mad career upset a woman, injured a man and fatally wounded a little child. The gallant police gave chase and quolled him floally; but the way men and women scattered at his approach while he ran his brief course was a thrilling remindor of the panic of the 12th. cycle of criminal phenomens as peculiar as shocking and atrocious; and it is remarkable that many of the horrid crimes we have heard of lately have been committed by women—by women, too, who have had the advantages of education, and in some cases of good birth and condition in life, There is the recent case of Mrs. Fair, in California, with which all our readers are familiar, Then came the reported murder of Nelson W, Sherman and his three children by poisoning in Connecticut by the wife of Sherman and stepmother of the chil- dren} and now we have the horrible tragedy in Baltesere, in which an agcomplished woman, Mrs, Wharton, moving in the best society, has been indicted by the Grand Jury for poisoning General Ketchum and attempting to poison Mr. Van Ness, and with ciroum- stantial evidence that other victims have been disposed of in ao elmilar manner by this woman, These last named women are similar in wholesale destruction of life and jo criminal action ;. but ip the case of infamons Italian pringess there was the of eaptige as well as 0 fnur- Sie japan ] @ cases of Mrs. ShéFmaa and Mré. yn there does not pone 0 he oneiig He lon, thongh there may have been cupidity. Jn fact, with Mra, Wharton there seems to be, so fat as the evi- dence shows up to this time, scarcely a motive of cupidity strong enough for the crimes she ia charged with, It is diffloalt to believe such crimes could be committed under the clroam- stances by a sane woman; yet Mrs, Wharton had lived years in refined and intelligent soci- ety without being suspected of insanity. True, more than twenty years ago, when a girl, she was wayward and acted in an extraordinary manner, and was charged with being insane by her father when she announced her ap- Proaching marriage and got ready to marry a gentleman who knew nothing of the matter; but that was a long time ago. Since then she has become a woman of matnre age, with a grown up family, and has lived respected ap- parently in a community that was supposed to know her well. She was even, it is said, a consistent member of the Church. Is it possi- ble that with all this Mrs, Wharton was at heart and secretly a murderer of the worst sort? Or was there a latent streak of insanity in her unseen and unsus- pected by her friends and acquaintances? It is hard to decide. Then, again, admitting even that there was a touch of insanity in this woman, a nice question arises as to how far persistent, continued and systematic crime in one so generally sane and intelligent can be exeused or be punished. The whole com- munity will watch with the greatest interest the development of evidence in her case. It will be one. of the most remarkable cases in the history of criminal jurisprudence, and, no doubt, the ablest lawyers will be employed in it, These fearful crimes by women indicate that there is something wrong in onr social life. Has the effort of the so-called strong- minded women to bring their sex into the tur- moil of life's arena, and by so doing to draw their sisters from the sweet influences of do- -mestic life and the family, led in a measure to these crimes? This is a serfous question, and one which our mothers and sisters would do wellto ponder over. ‘The times are out of joint,” and there must be no mistaken philan- thropy, no palliation of crime, because the criminals may be women. For the sake of society Justice must be blind and hold the acales evenly toward women as well as toward men, Bon Butler’s Tactics. Here are Ben Butler's tactics ina nutshell. He and Dr. Loring made a mutual bargain that he (Ben) would go for Loring for Gov- ernor (Claflin being out of the way), pro- vided he (Loring) would go for Ben for Con- gress from the Essex district. This was, of course, 8 disreputable bargain to begin with. Now see how Butler uses it to his own ad- vantage. Ie pronounces the accusation false in every particular, and shuts up Loring’s mouth completely by indignantly denying it on his bebalf, averring that he (Loring) was too honorable a man to be guilty of any such bargain and sale. Ofcourse poor Loring will not dare to say that the story fs true, for if he does he will avow himself a trickster and double dealer, and so lay himself upon the political shelf forever. Meantime, the hero of Big Bethel will go on making his bargains, just as he did during the old free soil coalition times of 1850-52 (when the four “busy bees”— Butler, Banks, Boutwell and Barlingame— were in all their glory), avowing them or deny- ing them as best suits his purpose. But if it were not for such men as Ben Butler Massa- chusetts politics would at this time be as dead asa salt mackerel buried in the lowest strata of & Gloucester mackerel barrel. Go ahead, Ben! Trouble In the Shad Kingdom, The Watkins (N. ¥.) epress states that myriads of dead fish have récently been float- ing in Seneca Lake and lining its shores, They are supposed to be young shad, which, arriving at the spawning age and being un- able to reach the salt water—indispensable for purposes of procreation at such seasons— have perished by the ton, Here isa fine op- portunity for Commissioner Roosevelt to solve a curious fish phenomenon, Have these shad been produced from shad garbage thrown into the lake, as one fish philosopher suggests, or have some of Seth enity Gu and salmon seedlings been mixed with shad spawn and found their way into the puro and placid waters of Seneca? It may bo that the action of the New York Harbor Commissioners in abolishing shad poles in the North River pro- duced # consternation In the shad kingdom and impelled the old school shad to send their finlings so far into the interior that they have not been able to get back in time to take the summer tides for Sandy Hook. Be that as it may, it is evident that, so far as shad domiciliary life in Seneca Lake is concerned, well may tho old chiefs of the shad realm, while lamenting the loss of their young, sing, after the manner of the “Old Folks” from the hymn book :— Life is @ shad—is a shad—oh! how it dies | Tus Atianra Zrue Georgian is loud in exhorting the democrats of the South to unite on the “‘new departure” and fight vigorously on that line the common enemy, the radicals. The True Georgian fica the Hoffman flag for the Prealdong> ‘The Now Modes of Rapid Transit. The acceptance of the vinduct plan by the Legislature, as the proper method of rapid transit for New York city, has put all the other experimental companies on thelr mettle, There is in consequence a spirited competitive exhibition_of rapid transit qualities going on among the many new devices which inventive genius has gotten up, The underground men were reported tuoneHing about Madison ave- nue some time ago with desperate energy ; the pneumatic people keep up a prominent show of what they have done, although they do not seem inclined to do anything more except coin quarters for admittance to the curiosity; the square-shaped and awkward cabs are continu- ously dragging themselves about the public thoroughfares at a discouragingly slow pace, lool for social partios of foyr to hire them ; while that much-de one-legged railway on Greenwich gtroct, having diverted itself of stationary engines, revolving heli pd fu ning gear and boldly adopted dummy engines, sends its traing of carg gavosting and careering through aerial space from Dey street to Thir- the rate of ten trips a day, and in the Teme sta SE viaduot route has ly been broken Yet, and unless it is hurried up some of these new methods may take such hold upon public favor that when {t is finished the people will no longer need it, The mistakes in the cab system we have al- ready shown, The cabs are built for too many passengers, they charge too much, and they are not managed with a view to giving their patrons most satisfaction, If four persons, all ecquaintances, want to go from one point to another together, the cab may be just the ve- hicle for them; but even then the objections intervene that the four are likely to be crowded if they are of average size, the load is heavier than the horse ought to draw, and the drivers are predisposed to drive very slowly at best. The cabs ought to be built for two passengers inside, with room for athird next the driver if necessary, and an open front view for passengers. They should have stout, fast horses, and should go from point to point ata full trot, When these con- ditions are filled, and the charges are lowered, and cabs are thickly scattered all over the city, probably they may be considered s public con- venience. The Greenwich street railway appears so far to be the most prominent success in the line of rapid transit, It has persevered steadily against evil report and the opposition of rival companies ever since its inception, and it has now a line over which itscars actually make the rapid transit up and down town about which the people have been dreaming, as a thing of fairyland, ever since our streets be- came crowded. Of course the Greenwich sirect route has its drawbacks, It is a frail-looking structure, being one-legged, as wo say, and the community gonerally dis- trusts its ability to carry heavy loads with secu- rity. But it was severely tested on two occasions fresh {n the momories of tho citizens, and it only broke down at one point, where there was asbarp curve, That point has been rendered stronger than ever, and it is confidently stated by the directors that tho road is now fully equal to all emer- gencies throughout ita whole length. Another drawback is that it has only one track, but another is soon to be built, and the train makes the trip so rapidly that even with one track a vast deal of time is saved compared with the time of the surface routes. Then the dummy engine is apt to scare horses on tho strects below, though city horses, according to the directors, get used to it very readily. All these drawbacks, however, may bo reme- died in time, and even then the one-legged railway will prove an immense public con- venience. The energy which those rival corporations exhibit is a timely hint to the Viaduct men, They must hurry up, It is a race now for the patronage of the people, and first come will be first served. CzLEBRaTiON oF THE Fourtn oF JoLy m EnaLanp.—Americans, no matter in what part of the world they find themselves on the Fourth of July, are bound to have their celebration, That day they keep sacred, and with good reason. In busy, commercial, crowded Liver- pool, on the morning of the “glorious Fourth,” the Star Spangled Banner floated from many a flagstaff, and from the tall masts of the shipping in the Mersey our “starry banner” kissed the winds, In the evening the ninety- fifth anniversary of American independence was celebrated by a banquet, at which a large number of American gentlemen wero present, The closing toast of the evening was ‘The Washington Treaty—a pledge that arbitration, and not war, shall settle the differences botweon the two countries,” ComMissioNeR PLEASONTON introduces a new and very commendable Idea relative to the personal perils now attendant ga the col- lection of the Internal rovenué. He writes to Mr. Jourdan, Assessor of the Brooklyn dls- trict, in regard to the descent of Jourdan’s men on the Illicit distillers last week, in which one gauger was killed and geyeral revenue employés wore ‘Wooded so that he’ intends to propose to Congress the enactment of « law granting pensions to persons wounded and to the families of those killed in this branch of tho civil service, just as in the military and naval, In view ot the imminent deadly breach that they have to assail all over bh atry whon they seek for illicit disti Ha pet kes ae tab * timely. Some similar provision ought to be made for our militia and police also, Tas Urtoa Observer addres: Horace Greeley some “plain fanguago,” becauss Grooley asserted that it lay in the power of Governor Hoffman to prevent any disturbance in this city on the 12h instant, The Observer asserts (and declares it knows whereof it affirms) that until Tuesday Governor Hoffman was not aware the police proposed to forbid the procession, and concludes by pronouncing Greeley’s attacks on the Governor ‘‘ao wick- edly unfair and vicious that no motive purer than unalloyed meanness could possibly have inspired them.” Tho weather is just now too hot to get much exclted over this matter. Tho truth is the radical press fear Hoffman's popu- larity in the rural districts in consequence of his bold vindication of law and order in thi city last week, Henco the animus of the present meaningless assaults upon him, PERSONAL INTELLIGENCE.
