NEW YORK remembers General Jackson very woll. Itis | asingular fact that all these old folk are! quite as juvenile as if they had been born in the present age, and their reminiscences are | exceedingly entertaining. We print to-day | several interviows of historic interest and worth, OR Rare inher Mr. Poter Cooper's Ideas. We think the most sensible man in the country is Mr. Peter Cooper, for he is almost the only man who ever declined a Presiden- tial nomination. It is true that a nomina- | tion by a Greenback Convention is more insulting than complimentary, yet the temp- tation to accept even doubtful honors is great. As such a sensible man Mr. | Cooper's opinions on public matters have | acquired new value, and his views, given to the Hznaxn to-day, will be read with interest | and, we trust, with profit. We do not agree | with Mr. Cooper in everything. He says | that the need of the country is “a man—an | honest, constitntion-respecting, God-fearing | man.” We trust that America has many | such men, and we know that Peter Cooper is one of them. But no man can redeem the country from its present distresses. The necd | isnot a man, but a law. The necessity is for an organic change in the government, an amendment to the constitution which shall check the ambition of an Executive to con- tinue his own rule, and which must be the only basis and foundation of a true civil ser- vice reform. Mr. Cooper still thinks that “Grant has a better chance than any- body else.” He should reflect upon the logical consequences of this fatal admission. Grant was a good man when he was first elected, but he was spoiled as a President by | the vast vista af ambition which the possi- bility of his second or third election opened to his dazzled eyes. What the country needs is not an honest man alone, but laws which shail enforce honesty, put an effec- tual bar to the continued rule of any official, and guarantee the right of the people to the control of their own government. Vanpanism at THE Exursrrion.—Benjamin Hayden, the English painter, accused his countrymen of Vandalism. If George and Betsy went to see a statue, he said, they would write their names upon it, so that Tom and Jane, when they came, would see that Betsy and George had been there first. We regret to learn that this passion for dis- figuration and destruction has been shown at the Centennial Exposition. It is not American, for this country has always respected art, ond our people have not the foolish ambition to seek in- glorions distinction on the principle of the ambitious youth who fired the Ephesian dome. We are glad to learn that these Vandals in Philadelphia have met with speedy punishment, and trust that the examples made will put ‘an end to the crime.

SMITH, THB DETROIT MURDERER, TO DBE SURRENDERED BY THE CANADIAN AUTHORI- TIES, Toronto, May 19, 1876, Tho case of Naraino Smith, beld by the Windsor authorities for extradition for the murdor of McKeen in Detroit, was argued before the Judge of tho Court of Quoen's Benob, it having beon sent there by Justice Galt, of the Practice Court, who heard counsel yester- day. Mr, Glass, counsel for the prironor, objected to the extradition on the grounds that the warrant of com- | mitment was defective under the statute and treaty, and that there was not enough evidence to show the erime murder. The Conrt held the warrant of commitment substantially correct and proper under the statute, raling that the omission of unimportant techni- calities In the form of the warrant was not fatal, as had been contended, He hold also that there was enough evidence to ostablish a prima case of murder. Tho prisoner will, therefore, be extradited. . HOTEL ARRIVALS. “General George B. McClellan and family arrived at the Sturtevant House yestorday from Baltimore. Pro» fessor Herrmann and Messrs.
