NEW YORK HERALD, FRIDAY, MARCH 28, 1873.—TRIPLE SHEET. ‘The Dissotuti or Recoristraction or the Democratic Party. Governor Hendricks, of Indiana, it appears, bas made a visit to Washington for the pur- pose of a reconnoissance jp reference to the fature course of the @emocratio party, his pro- gramme being the abandonment and dissolu- tion of the democratic organization, name and all, and the substitution of a new liberal party, with a new name, “on the living issues of the day.”’ It further appears that Senator Thur- man, of Ohio; Mr. Beck, of Kentucky, and other democratic notables in Congress decline as yet to support this movement, while others, again, are in favor of it. Tho argument said to be advanced by Governor Hendricks in favor of the proposed new departure is this: — That a new party which shall have for its platform such conservative and conciliatory declarations of principles as will attract to its support all classes who are opposed to the dominant party may easily secure a victory in the next Congress, the elections for which will occur in that low-water interval of public ex- citement when the opponents of the party in power are always more or less successful. He thinks, too, that their success in these elections will so encourage the opposition elements that, by the year 1876, they may form a party sufficiently strong to dispossess the republicans and to secure possession of the government. But the essential proposi- tion of Governor Hendricks, in this connec- tion, is the abandonment of the old name of democracy, or the democratic party, for the reason that ‘‘the masses of the people of both sections of the country are distrustful of any- thing which bears that name.’’ In support ofthis movement the Chicago Trine, a leading liberal republican supporter of the Cincianati and Baltimore coalition in the late Presidential campaign, contends that the democratic party is defunct—that it no longer offers any inducements to the people ; that they have no confidence in it; that its record is bad; that it is in that stage of dry rot which crumbles at every blow ; that with every advantage in its favor it can do nothing ; that the recent election in New Hampshire has shown this old party to be a mere shell whose kernel long ago had shrivelled away, and that such being the helpless condition of the party in New Hampshire, with all the advantages for success offered it in the late contest in that State, there can be no hope for its resuscitation ; that they who are attempting to revive this party, which is incapable of motion or effort of any kind, ‘‘are only galvanizing a dead body into an artificial show of life.” Of course the ultimatum of our Chicago liberal republican contemporary embraces the abandonment and dissolution of the democratic party and the fusion of all the opposition elements into a new liberal party against the corruptions of the party in power. It is worthy of notice, too, that the Chicago Times, one of those democratic Bourbon organs which could not swallow the democratic departure to Greeley and Brown, thinks now that the time has come for the organization of a new party. What, then, is the prospect? We can judge of the future only from the teachings of the past, and the bleaching bones of our dead parties of the past mark the route upon which the democratic party has been lost to view in the desert. The old federal party, which came into power with Washington and which was dislodged by Jefferson, was broken up, dispersed and finally disbanded from its opposition to the war of 1812. In like manner the old democratic party has been brought to the point of dissolution from its opposition to the late war for the Union. But, again, the old whig party, from its drifting and temporizing policy on the slavery ques- tion, passed from its great victory of 1840 to its ignominious defeat of 1844, and from its hopeful triumph of 1848 to its inglorious rout, dispersion and dissolution, with its defeat of 1852; and such, too, have been the vicissi- tudes of the democratic party since the time when it assumed a definite shape as the party of the late powerful King Cotton and the de- fender of his sovereign rights as a slaveholder under the constitution. Irom the rise, decline and fail, then, of the old federal party and of the old whig party, and from the lengthened chain of heavy disasters suffered by the demo- cratic party, it may be logically pronounced to be passing through the processes of disso- lution, though its sadly diminished and de- moralized forces still cling to the shadow of its once all-powerful name. Governor Hendricks, however, we apprehend, is too early in the field with his proposition | for a new liberal party. He is charged, more- over, with a design upon the White House on this new departure; and the bare suspicion of such a design is always fatal to the political reformer initiating a new departure, great or small. This new departure is proposed too soon, because there is no power behind it, and because none of the conditions exist necessary to give it vitality. No immediate rewards and no attractive prospects of office, spoils or in- fluence in high quarters, are offered to men disposed to join this new party. No great idea is advanced challenging the support ot a large body of the people; no immediate ref- ormations are proposed calculated to disturb the present sluggish current of our political affairs. The democratic party was strong | until it presumed too much upon its strength with King Cotton, and then the abolition idea became stronger than the almighty dollar. | Again, the democratic party became apparently strong in the money power of Tammany Hall; | but that power was only the shelter of Jonah’s gourd, and it was blasted in a single night. Now, utterly dispossessed and all adrift, this once all-pow- erful party is apparently passing away, while the republican party, with such powers of spoils and preferment at Washington and among the States as never a political party in times of peace possessed before, appears to be securely entrenched in its high places against all probable contingencies of misfortune for at least another Presidential campaign. But the acts of Congress and of the admin- istration of the next two or three years will determine the organization of parties and the issue of the Presidential contest in 1876. General Grant was too strong for the malcon- tents of his party in 1872, and the balance of power which they expected to carry against him in the Greeley movement proved a false conception. But it is expected that General Grant will retire in 1876, and, under this im- pression, several aspirants for the siccession, it is given out, have already shown their heads above water in the republican pool, in- | cluding Mr. Spcaker Blaine and Senators | including the export of gold, will pay for. Conkling and Morton and Others. Sen- ator Morton, charged with the impor- tant duty of considering, during tho recess, and of reporting to the Benate in De- cember next, such amendments to the consti- tution and the taws as may be deemed ex- pedient and proper in reference to the election of President and Vice President, will have the opportunity in this matter of making some valuable political capital for Presidential pur- poses, while Senator Conkling, charged by the administration with the safo keeping of the Empire State, has only to keop it where it is to command a strong support for his advance- ment a step or two highor; and ‘so on to the end of the catalogue. With tho retirement of General Grant, how- ever, from tho Presidential field, if resolved or permitted to retire in '76, the intrigues and cross purposes of a baker's dozen of active republican candidates for his place will almost certainly result in such discords and divisions in the republican party as to give us ascrub race for the succession like that of 1824, when the republican party of that day, having no opposition party any longer to contend against, broke up into several divisions on the personal merits for the Presidency of Jackson, Adams, Crawford and Clay. In view of the repetition of this Presidential drama, which marks the transition epoch between the old fathers of the constitution and the age of spoils and plunder, tho democratic party can do nothing better than await yet a little longer the course of events. With two or three republican can- didates in the contest for the succéssion the ticket of the combined opposition elements may be completely successful. Meantime, as it is probable that the corruptions and profli- gate expenditures of the outgoing will be con- tinued by the incoming Oongress, even General Grant, in due season, may feel com- pelled to retire as from a sinking ship, in order to escape the consequences which otherwise may threaten him. In any event, Governor Hen- dricks is breaking ground too soon for the or- ganization of a new national party ; for tho Presidential parties of 1876 will be formed upon the public events and the public questions which will come to the front within tho three years intervening. Thore is, then, no necessity for the immediate settlement of the question whether the democratic party shall be disbanded and dissolved or revived and reconstructed. The Washington Market Lease. The rickety shanties which encumber Bar- clay and Vesey streets at their North River extremities under the name of Washington Market engage the attention -of the Legisla- ture at present. Despite their ungainly and uncleanly appearance, these odoriferous shells are in demand. We have already referred to the outrageous pretensions of a party of monopolists, styling themselves the Washing- ton Marketmen’s Association, who arrogantly demand the acquirement of a lease for sixty- three years of this valuable although much neglected property. The specious arguments put forward by the advocates of such a mo- nopoly cannot well deceive any right think- ing person. They declaim against putting up this vast business interest to be sold out at public auction, because it would compel them to pay tribute toa set of speculators. There is too much sophistry in such an argument. It is frequently used by all friends of monopoly. Now comes another bidder. The New York and Brooklyn Improvement Company want to undertake the management of the market for fifty years or thereabouts. The bidders in both cases propose to erect substantial iron buildings in place of the miserable structures which now disgrace the city. Of course this must be expected from whatever parties the Legislature will decide upon as proper lessees. But such a grave question as the disposal of a valuable municipal lease cannot be justly de- cided in any other way than throwing it open to public competition. Let there be a fair auction, without any regard to monopoly or favoritism, and the shame and filth of Wash- ington Market will be removed forever. Such a gigantic speculation as is proposed by the Marketmen’s Association or the Improvement Company should not be allowed to disgrace the record of the Legislature. A public auction and fair play will meet with the ap- proval of the taxpayers of this city. ‘Tax Power or THE BANK or ENcnanp Over Ovr Frvancta, AFFATRS was seen again here in the advance of the premium on gold in con- sequence of that institution raising the rate of discount from three and a half to four per cent. What is the use of talking of specie payments or of financial independence when the gold market, and all other markets cor- respondingly, are so subject to this influence? If by any possibility we could reach a specie basis the Bank of England could any day cause a suspension as long as we continue to buy much more than our exported products, It may be said, however, that with the increased business and influence of the other banks in England, and with the tendency of the age, through the medium of the telegraph, to the equalization of financial matters and values the power of the Bank of England is declining relatively. Proposep Cuancz OF THE Prestpentuat, IN- avcunation Day.—The Cincinnati Enquirer, commenting upon the fact that so many Presi- dents have taken severe colds in consequence of the inclement weather on the 4th of March, suggests that inauguration day be changed to some time in the month of May or June. If there be no change forward there might be a change to a little time backward and the day be fixed for the 22d of February, when Wash- | ington’s Birthday and the inauguration of the new President migkt both be celebrated at the same time. This would prove a fitting honor in commemoration of the natal day of the “Father of his Country,” an anniversary that is unfortunately becoming legs and less ob- served as time and events press on. But if the 224 of February be thought unsuitable why not Independence Day? Here is an op- portunity for some patriotic Congressman to distingaish himself at the next session of the national legislature. Tax Covorep Porte of New Orleans have endorsed the Kellogg government. Things have been so inextricably mixed there lately that one could scarcely tell white from black. ‘Tho endorsement of the colored people, there- fore, is better than nothing. The Spanish Repubite. The troubles which aro gathering around the Spanish Republic aro certainly such as might have been anticipated. ‘The stiff, elow- moving hidalgo class through which Spain has been known to the world is aubtle-minded ag well as tenacious, and will throw. what difficulties it can in the way of the Republic. Tho Spanish republicans themselves, so little known, except through their leaders, are unweighed in the political balance, and fears from extreme measures on their part naturally enter into the calculations of the prophets. Bosides the mere conservatives, who are afraid of the Re- public, reactionism militant assails the democ- racy through the Carlists. At the present moment it is difficult to say whether the tangi- ble opposition of the armed Bourbons in the field or the intangible mass of hostile opinion is the greater obstacle to the new Republic. It would seem, however, for reasons somewhat analagous to those which preserve the slafus quo in France, that the Republic is destined to survive all its oppo- nents, at any rato in the immediate future. It isa fact, and therefore strong. It has been moderate in its policy as well as in the assertion of the democratio idea. It has succeeded in referring to the people for a confirmation of the power which the only government left standing by the abdication of Amadeus placed in its hands. The news which we publish to-day of the termination of the ministerial crisis is an indication that the spirit of mutual forbearance is present in the republican councils. No Oabinet changes are yet announced, and the probable retirement of Castelar and Acosta, cabled two days ago, is at least premature, To-morrow, it is expected, the formal proclamation calling for elections to the Con- stituent Cortes will be made. The successful carrying out of these elections will, we believe, in the event of the government obtaining a working majority, fortify the Republic against all its enemies, The conservatives, it i® stated, will abstain from voting. This action, whatever motive it may cover, will be taken as a sign of weakness. Place it how they may on the ground of tacit protest, it will be a weapon in the hands of the republicans. Against these consoling features to the well- wisher of the Republic must be placed the failure which has met its efforts to crush the Carlist insurrection. In Upper Catalonia the rebels are said to be masters, and insubordi- nation in the ranks of the army in that province evinces one of the worst features at- tending all changes of government. We are not informed whether this mutinous spirit is merely the offspring of demoralization or the result of political differences. Tho spec- tacle of officers running away from their com- mands is Gurious to those who know how an officer who knows his bdSiness can inspire respect in spite of being unpopular with his men. ‘There is probably more of desertion than anything else in this officer's movement in Catalonia. Don Carlos does not evidently believe highly in his ultimate chances, for, according to the JIatest ac- counts, he has abdicated in favor of his son, whom he places under the regency of his brother. President Thiers has at last decided to take the side of the Republic by putting an end to the loose policy which allowed tho Carlists to make Pyrenean France their headquarters for conspiracy and haven for retreat. Elio, the chief plotter, is to be interned and Don Carlos himself to be arrested wherever found. If Thiers had taken this step a month since there would not be a Car- list in arms to-day. A movement.is announced in the Canary Islands aiming at making them independent of Spain and placing them under a British protectorate. It is possibly a ruse of the monarchists, who wish to assail the strength of the Republic as much as possible. The national integrity is one of the keynotes of all pretenders, and to show that it is weakened by an existing government is a strong appeal to Spanish pride. In Cuba the effect of long misgovernment tells its own tale. The insurgents in the field are said of late to have received accessions from an un- expected quarter. Three companies of native troops have taken the rebel side, carrying their officers with them. Fortune seems fight- ing for Cuban independence. In spite of all the difficulties of the Spanish Republic we hope to notice its steady triumph at home. Should Cuba wrest its autonomy from the Spaniards the end may happily prove to be for the best interest of both. ‘Tae Presmency mv 1876.—The Cincinnati Commercial avers that public opinion is already in motion on the great questions of the next Presidential campaign. ‘Those questions,” it adds, “are represented in the warfare against rings and against corruptions, and Elibu B. Washburne will almost inevitably be the leader in this great contest.’’ It is urged by papers of opposite views that the Commer- cial is not always an infallible prophet in re- gard to Presidential nominations. Witness its advocacy of the nomination of Charles Francis Adams at the Cincinnati Convention, and the discomfiture of that gentleman by the Greeley hosts. Temprnascs Men Overneacntnc THEM- SELVES. —-It is stated on competent temperance authority that nine-tenths of the evils which flow directly from the liquor traffic are unpro- vided for by the present liquor law of Dlinois. ‘The law is now regarded as a statute ‘for the encouragement of the growth of liquor saloons in the city of Chicago,”’ and they are profiting finely under its liberal provisions. With nine-tenths of the law in their favor the saloon keepers say the temperance people are welcome to the other tenth. This is the way the extreme temperance men overreach them- selves when they attempt to regulate men’s appetites by sumptuary laws. ‘Keep within bounds’? should be the motto of all tem- perance advocates. Tur Woman in THE Goopricn Case was arrested last evening upon information placed in the hands of the police. Her name is withheld for the present ; why, it is difficult to guess. his arrest is very important, for there cam be no doubt that, even should she not prove to be the murderess, she can set the police on the track of the real criminal. No time should be lost in instituting a strict inquiry into all her sur- ‘ roundings. .The theory sho has started of the criminal being a man, an enemy of Charles Goodrich, aay be ouly an ingen- ious suggeation to weaken the suspicion on her- self ; but we beg of the police to let no pre- conceived theory of her guilt allow thom to slacken exertion in the matter. It may bring to light what has, wo fear, been overlooked— an accomplice in the murder. Where sho passed Friday night she does not appear to have divulged. The police, if worth their salt, should settle this question. ‘Tax Corron Onor or 1872-73.—The cotton dealers in Augusta, Ga., have hit upon an ingenious plan of gotting at the extent of the annual cotton crop. They invite estimates from experts and savans in the cotton trade and strike an average of the lot. Thus we learn that the ‘‘pool’’ upon the present crop numbered 357 estimates, the calculations coming from as many different sources, On taking an average it was found that the cotton yield for the year ending September 1, 1873, will be (or ought to be according to this pro- cess of ascertaining it) 3,764,888 bales. ‘Tweep Has Resianep His Szart in the State Senate. This was the best course open to him and was advised by the Heratp some days ago. It will save some valuable time to the Committee of Investigation and allow them to attend to other business of the State. The changes of a year or so are very curious. The man who a couple of sessions'since could keep at least one member from taking the seat to which he was elected, did not dare to take his own seat last session, and this year resigns it with humility. And yet ho is not happy. A Senswie Consrrruzncy.—The republi- cans of Trumbull county, Ohio, have called upon James A. Garfield, who represents them in Congress, to resign hisseat, in consequence of his voting for the back pay grab. Perhaps a little of the tincture of the Orédit Mobilier obloquy actuated them in making their re- quest. It is refreshing to notice that Ohio has no North Eastons or South Bends in her Con- gressional districts, in which Oongressmen who have committed official wrongs are wel- comed with ovations. Such unenviable dis- tinction is left for her sister States of Massa- chusetts and Indiana. “An Arrmmative Party” is what tho Chicago Times wants. During the ‘‘anything- to-beat Grant’’ campaign the Times wag anti- Greeley and democratic all over. The people wanted Grant, and made ‘‘oath and affirma- tion’’ of their sentiments by electing him.

[From the Pottsville Neti Sarit Journal, March A REALLY GREAT NEWSPAPER. The New YoRK HERALD of Sunday last contained sixty-seven full columns of advertising, and the publisher makes an apology to the persons whe favored the paper with eight other columns of ad- vertising which were crowded out. If this does not show the position of the HERALD with the bual- ness people of New York city and prove che advan- tages its great enterprise gives it we wouldn't know what kind of evidence to ask for. (From the Lebanon (Pa.) Courier, March 27,] The New York HERALD of Sunday last containe® sixty-seven coluinns of solid advertisements, most of them being but a few lines in length; and the paper states that it had eight columns more for which their was no room in its columns. The in- come of the HERALD is immense, leaving a princely income for its youthful proprietor after meeting the great outlay consequent on the policy of spar- ing no expense to gather news, which character- izes it. It is said that the net profit ef the Phila- delphia Ledger is a thousand dollars a day. Not- withstanding the much greater outlay in publish- ing the HERALD, its income is so much greater than that of the Ledger that its net revenue must largely exceed it. These figures seem large, and yet when the capital, the enterprise and the talent employed in publishing the Hkrap is taken inte consideration, the profit cannot be regarded a3 excessive or unreasonable. THE HERALD AND COMING EVENTS. [From the Scranton (Pa.) Times, March 26.] The world may soon expect to be again startle@ by the achievements of the New York HERALD. One of its correspondents is now among the Cubap insurgents, and may at any time be expected to return with full accounts of the Cuban war from its commencement down to the present time. We only wish our government had a little of the HgkaLo’s enterprise and energy. MUSICAL AND DRAMATIO NOTES, ‘The Mario-Patti combination sing in Newark om Saturday night. Mr. E. A.
