The incongruous and incoherent coalition of 1872 against General Grant is abandoned by the democratic party. The democracy of Ohio for the West, and their brethren of Pennsylvania for the East, in taking their new departure for their ap- proaching fall elections, have as quietly ignored the liberal, or anti-Grant, republicans as if no such organization had éver existed, and as if such lately conspicuous political engineers and pioneers as Greeley and Brown, Sum- ner, Trumbull, Schurz, Curtin, Forney and Fenton belonged to the Dark Ages. The reaction of the democracy from their strange adventure of last summer, in which they ap- peared as the followers ofan unknown body of deserters from the administration on their Cincinnati platform, has been very quiet, but it is decisive. From the profitless pursuit of those strange gods the old party of Jefferson and Jackson and Buchanan returned to its own altars. So far, thon, we have the foreshadowing of at least the main body of the opposition organization for 1876, The democratic party, accepting , the established order of things resulting from our late civil war, adheres to its ancient organization, and all the efforts from within or without the party camps to divert and merge it in some new party, with a new name and upon new issues, may be considered as decisively de- feated. It was thought in 1872 that, consider- ing its disastrous defeats of 1860, ’64 and ’68, the party could not do worse than to fight again under its own banner, and that it might do better by withdrawing into the rear as the ally of a revolting faction from the party in power. But in its action at Baltimore as the democratic party, while confessing its wenkness in adopting the Cincinnati ticket and platform, it too clearly betrayed its pur- pose as a trick of strategy for a’ democratic restoration, and hence the demoralization, failure and collapse of the impracticable ad- venture. Casting aside, then, the useless disguise of the Cincinnati Convention. and dismissing the liberal republicans as a profitless balance of power, the democratic party returns to itself, and, adhering to old name and ancient faith, is reorganizing its forces. for the Presidential succession. What, then, is the prospect? Will this old party serve as the nucleus around which may and will be rallied all the outside anti-administration or anti- Grant elements, or are we to have in 1876 two or three opposition tickets in the field, as in 1832 against Jackson, as in 1836 against Van Buren, as in 1848 mgainst Cass, as in 1856 against Buchanan or as in 1860 against Lin- coln? Upon the answer to this question de- pend the possibilities or impossibilities of a democratic restoration, If there is no union of the oppdsition elements they will mie] feated in 1876, as the whigs were in 1832 an: 1836, and as the democrats were in 1848, and democracy were again defeated in 1860. But can the various opposition elements be fused in the democratic party? Our lights for the future are our experiences of thé past. Turning to these, the nearest are the lights of our late Presidential contest. Before the meeting of the democrats at Balti- more there were placed before the country the Presidential tickets of the temperance reform- ers, the labor reformers and the Cincinnati liberal republicans, After the Baltimore Con- vention the democratic Bourbons from Louis- ville threw their ticket into the canvass, and the free traders from the Fifth Avenue Hotel issued their Presidential ticket and pronuncia- miento ; but, while the Bourbons created con- siderable disaffection in the democratic ranks against Greeley and Brown, the temperance party, the labor reformers and the free traders disappeared in the smoke of the battle. Excepting the democratic Bourbons, we may say, the opposition forces were concentrated upon Greeley and Brown. In the coming contest, with the lines more sharply drawn between the administration and the democracy, may we not, therefore, assume that the fusion of the opposition forces will be more cordial and effective? Will they not more fully appre- ciate in'76 the necessity of union from the disastrous consequences of their disaffections: and discords in ’72, particularly as the demo- cratic party, relieved of all disguises and entangling alliances, will itself present a com- pact front against the party in power? We should rest upon this conclusion but for the disturbing forces at work and the effects of which upon the two great parties cannot now be estimated, For example, thg now and powerful sclf-protecting organization of the farmers’ granges against our railway monopolies and extortions is a league which, at present, is acting independently of the republican, the democratic and every other merely political party ; but we apprehend that the granges will, nevertheless, play an active part and wield the balance of power in our next Presidential election. The repub- licans and the democrats, in their State Con- ventions, are bidding high in large promises for the support of the granges; but as most of the farmers concerned are repub- licans it is not likely that their granges will materially weaken the administration in the “West, so long as they maintain their present character as social bodies of men and women, from which party politics and religious con- troversies are said to be excluded. The dem- ocrats are also bravely courting the sweet voices as the republicans were in 1856, and as ma of the labor reformers ; but, one way or the other, their opposition is of little consequence. ‘The same may be said of the temperance party from the returns of the various elections of last year in which they were most directly interested. In short, as our political parties now stand, General Grant, backed by the solid and dis- ciplined organization of the republicans, is as conclusively master of the Presidential suc. cession as was General Jackson in 1832 or 1836, The Washington Republican, an administra! tion organ, in its discussion of Casarism, says, “Let General Grant, then, be again put before the people for re-election,” for that the people, in confirming the choice of the nation’s coun- cillors, will be “following both national prece- dent and national liberty of will.” . And as this Washington organ would hardly venture to speak so bofdly without at least the authority of the Kitchen Cabinet it may be logically as- sumed that the party engineers of the admin- issue no longer. The question, then, first to be considered by the democracy and all the utside opposition elements in reference to the Presidential suc- cession is not the question® shall we revive our late demoralizing battle cry of ‘anything to beat Grant?’’ but ‘can we beat Grant?”’ Under the existing conditions and agpects of the political field they cannot beat him. He isa man whose popularity is “established, and whose powers and advantages asa candidate for another term are immeas- urably greater than were thosé of Jackson !n 1836, when his word was the law to his party and the party nomination was equivalent to an election. The democratic party, then, in this view of the subject, is reorganizing under the Bourbons for another Presidential defeat, while the republican party is paving the way for an indefinite prolongation of its power un- der General Grant. Thus, while reaffirming our confidence in his honesty and patriotism, wo are now called, not to discuss Casarism in connection with the possibilities of a third term to the President, but in connection with the probable effgcts of tle first example of a third term upon the country and the govern- ment. We hold that the example wil be fraught with danger to our republican institu- tions, and that we are safe against Cmsarism only while we adhere to the Presidential limi- tation established from the example of Wash- ington, or in fixing a limitation in the con- stitution. : The “Average Detective” in Murder " Cases—Phe Nathan Mystery Again. The skill of the American detective has be- come a byword. Young people who read the thrilling romances of Miss Braddon, with the inevitable detective of fascinating shrewd- ness, or whose hairs have stood on end at the stories of the sluthhound Fouché, or who Have been appalled at the deft and deep doings of the detective of Edgar A. Poe, aro easily misled when they come to apply their ideal to the detective as he flourishes in this vicinity. The average citizen of honest ways and sim- ple mind invests this being with a cloud through which alone peers forth the historic impenetra- ble face, ‘in whose lineaments,’’ according to the novelists, ‘the shrewdest observer might fail to detect the keen power of obser- vation which in reality the man possessed.’’ As a page or two is generally devoted to ‘‘the searching eyes which never appear to search,” we decline to print the confounding descrip- tion; but we have little doubt that the afore- said average citizen has an implicit belief that such cloud-enveloped bodies and impenetrable faces are to be seen moving up and down on Broadway at certain times. We cannot, how- ever, afford to let this delusion rest upon the average citizen, whose house is as liable to be robbed as the Ocean Bank, or whose dearest friend is as liable to be murdered as Mr. Nathan. So it may be no harm to remove the cloud and sketch the’ ‘average detective.” He is a very ordinary looking man, whom you would scarcely evér suspect of shrewdness, and he is .never likely to belie this appear- ance. His training consists in knowing o great many vile characters and learning all the slang of the profession of thievery. His skill extends to recovering articles stolen by pickpockets and sneak thieves. As there is seldorg a prosecution in these cases the merit of the detective is hidden from the public eye. It may be modesty that prevents this, but as these are what are called ‘‘comipromise cases,”’ and the person who has been robbed gives a handsome bonus to the detective as well as the thief,a malicious world, if the facts were made known, would not be slow to imagine that both the officer and the criminal understood each other perfectly. Above this his skill does not soar. There is a point, however, on which he is strong—namely, ‘‘theories.’’ If a daring and successful burglary or a mur- der of some little mystery occurs the detec- tive can describe to a nicety every wink and “jimmy’’ wrench, every stab and pistol shot which has taken place, the mode of entrance, the mode of exit and the exact social status of the criminal he can follow to a miracle. Then comes the question, ‘Who is it?” The average citizen is here respectfully re- quested to mark the remnant of his romance detective in ,the manner of the average detec- tive’s reply to this query. He pauses, smiles gust perceptibly at the corners of the mouth, and winks his right eye. After a moment’s silence, with a fine dramatic touch, he remarks that it is a fine day or a dark day, as the case may be; but he never catches his burglar or murderer. Nevertheless, he can fan up the excitement of an admiring public through some innocent members of the press, who probably cling with fervor to the idea of the astute face in the cloud. He theorizes and winks himself into notoriety, and finds his profit in the recovery business as before; but he never catches his burglar or murderer. Led at times from his usual round, he makes a great show of activity, but the moment he attempts the more delicate kind of work to which belongs the discovery of criminals of mof® than ustal intelligence his blunders and shortcomings are painful to behold. We have said he never catclfes such a criminal; but the criminal occasionally confesses and catches himself, whereupon we hear of the average detective again, as he struts with his name abroad and his wink more oppressively owl- like than ever. Here and there we, perhaps, have exceptions to this not very flattering portrait, but they keep perseveringly out of sight. ‘The latest phase in the Nathan murder mys- tery is the peg whereon we hang the fore- going enlightenment for the average citizen. Aman named Irving, who has been giving himself up to the California police for the past six weeks, has made a “ confession,” in which he pssigns to himself a very modest share in the deed, while he makes a charge of the most terrible and ‘cruel nature against the young gentleman who had of all others the most to deplore in his father's horrible death, To another nian, unnamed, he gives the dog’s part of the bloody work. He has a memo- randum book hidden in this city, he says, in which some names, well known to the Nathan family, are to be found, together with some writing in Hebrew. Now, the detectives generally pronounce all this a fraudulent pretence for securing a return ticket to New York, and they may be right. The story obtains very little istration have resolved to put forward Gen- eral Grant fer a third form. and saat pushed credence in any of its parts from Mr. Nathan's Arends. although the stom of @ missing memorandum book is partly borne out by the it has been suppressed and -evidence of a gentleman whose views will be | heavy s, in the shape of cash fines, found elsewhere, This may be of little im- | levied on itd Moré active promoters, The portance, but the detectives seem to have re-| people of the Central Asian Khanates must solved long ago that: they will not have any-| prepare themselves for the advent of civili- thing to do with him or his information. | zation, but it must be dono in a spirit of Superintendent Matsell disposed of the matter | repentance and humiliation, as has been the very curtly when this same individual being | case with the populations of British India oppressed with home longings-or his secret | since the days of Warren Hastings. presented himself to the authorities in Auburn, Cal., some fortnight since.

We do not want him.” We do not rashly dispute that this man, Irving, is any or all the disreputable things which tho Superintendent and detectives aver, or that he is doing other than lying in his story; but the dogmatic air with which Mr. Matsell says that Irving knows nothing about the murder would lead one to suppose that Mr. Matsell or his detectives knew all about it. They do not want him; bat tho murderer is wanted, and until they have found him they should have a care not to frown upon a man who can be no more ignorant of the murderer's identity than they are themselves. Our reporter's researches have indicated how there may be some grain of truth in the story. The murder of Mr. Rogers and a dozen other crimes are scored against the ‘skill’ of our detectives, cal disquiet which afflict Spain have not abated, but are, on the contrary, likely to be intensified by the active interference of an outside Power, the Power of Great Britain. Tho Spanish Republic is afflicted by the efforts of Spaniards who wish to go further than the point of democratic republicanism as it is at present defined in Madrid, They wish to ad- vance suddenly to Communism, to share ina general distribution of other men’s capital. This is a home Spanish grievance. It is not by any means less dangerous for the reason that it is either of home birth or the fruit of a very ready, perhaps’ ill-considered, parental adoption of a stranger bantling.

Here we have the old story of neglect of duty on the part of some one andof the trains not being on time. On: a railroad like that of the Hudson River there never ought to be a deviation of half a minute in time, andif by any chance a train is de- layed by accident that fact ought to be in- stantly made known at every station and point on the line, Every signal man or other em- ployé who neglects his duty should be pun- ished severely. Let us hope this latest “accident,’’ as it is called, or, rather, this catastrophe, from the want of proper man- agement and due attention, will be a warning to railroad managers and those they employ. Broortrn’s DerancaTions AND RoBBERIES are fairly vieing with any we have had in New York. The exposure in the case of the late Mr. Mills has hastened an- other. Mr. Rodman, the Deputy Treasurer of the city, is charged with having embezzled about one hundred and forty thousand dollars belonging to the people. The city is fortu- nately secured against the loss, however it may go with Rodman. The Brooklyn frauds seem to differ from those of New York in the “highly respectable’ character of its delin- quents as compared with the rougher social specimens who preyed upon Gotham. As it 1s the City of Churches, so, we suppose, even her thieves must be pious. ABMY INTELLIGENCE, Wasuinaton, August 29, 1873, A general order just issued trom the War De- partment directa that frequent tuspections be made of the recruiting depots and rendezvous, for the purpose of enforcing tne regulations and orders concerning enlistments, with a view to pre- vent the reception into the service of minors and men ‘of bad character.
