Tur Loxvon Coacurnc Cxvus and its hand- some array of drags continue to form one of the attractions of the English metropolis.

The subject is one of considerable impor- tance to the advancement of the interests of | the Chureh, and, judging from the arguments | used at the conference of ministers, will re- | ceive all the attention it deserves. “A Hounnrep Gas Witn 4 Hasty Kyrre” in the hands of George Knight cost tho un- fortunate and quarrelsome Joseph Bennett his life in a dranken brawl. Tho Court, deeming the blow an unpremeditated one, sentenced the prisoner to a ycar's imprison- ment, and this short term of punishment is the price of a human life. This is a lucky estape for the homicide, but if the victim bad not spent that quarter of a dollar on bad whiskey he might have been enjoying the life to-day which he sacrificed ‘for the drinks.” '| this conclusion, but we thinkit asound one, | the democrats in New York and in the | Cincinnati the other day by the managers of | NEW YORK HERALD, TUESDAY, The Cenvention at St. Louis. | The democrats have the advantage of | profiting by the example of the republicans. The Convention at Cincinnati is a lesson to St. Louis, So far as success is concerned it will be hard to do better than Cincinnati. The republicans made a ticket which at once unites every wing of the party, We may call it asmall-beor, milk-and-water, half-and- half ticket, a union of mediocrities, but when we remember what antagonisms were to be reeonciled, what interests were to be corsidered, what enmities were to be settled, we cannot but congratulate the republicans upon their success. It is a great deal to have a ticket which satisfies James Russell Lowell and George Spencer, George Will- iam Curtis and Boss Shepherd, Here is the great triumph of Cincinnati, The demo- erats have the same problem at St. Louis. Four years ago the democrats made their nominations upon tho theory that there was a vast, resliess, dizsatistied reform element in the republican party which only necded reconciliation, ‘The result wes the Greeley nomination, But no such fancy animates the leaders now. Tho Convention will try no liberal republican graft upon the old dem- ceratic tree. The fact that John Cochrane is about the only available plant willing to be grafted may have something to do with The democrats must win or jose this battlo with democratic leaders and upon demo- cratic ground. They must give the country a platform which means reform in the ad- ministration, a recognition of the war, the absolute integrity of the credit, the proteo- tion of all classes under the law. The aim of the republicans will be to divert the can- vass from reform to side issues. They will present two points--the shotgun and the Pope. They do not appear in the platform, but the whole temper of the Convention shows that the canvass, so far as the repub- licans are concerned, wilt depend upon two issues. The first is to.arouse the war feel- ing, on the ground that what the Southern people failed to win with the rifle they are striving to win with the shotgun. The sec- ond is an appeal to the suspicious, ever active and aggressive spirit of religious hatred, which the nomination of General Hayes as Governor invoked in Ohio, and of which he is the chief representative in the republican party. The republicans will not meddle with the financial question beyond a certain point. If they can make their platform mean one thing in Ohio and another in Massachusetts they will be satisfied. The money question is a sword that cuts both ways in*both parties. If the democrats have William Allen the re- publicans have Willam D. Kelley. The soft money men in both parties have had a con- vention, and, as they are fanatics, there is no knowing what they will do before the canvass is over. The leaders of the two parties, the men who seek in this canvass only ascramble for power, would be very glad to postpone any question that involves a principle. “The republicans have shown more discretion on this point than their rivals. ‘They have tolerated the widest dif- ference on the money issue. In Philadel- phia Mr. Kelley expects and. will no doubt receive the regular republican nomination for Congress. But when Mr. Allen ran for Governor in Ohio East openly opposed him and rejoiced in his defeat. Even as astute a leader as Fer- nando Wood publicly and with indignation denied a report that he had contributed or intended to contribute a dollar to the elec- tion of Mr. Allen? We pointed out at the time the morass into which our dem- ocratic friends were rushing. The Western democrats have never forgotten that enmity. The Cincinnati Enquirer, one of the boldest and ablest newspapers in the West, has be- come the organ of this feeling, so that the democrats meet in St. Louis menaced with even more dangerous mutiny than that which menaced the republicans at, Cincinnati under Curtis and Dana. 6 republican mutiny found a vent in its support of Bristow and is satisfied with Hayes. The democratic mu- tiny demands Allen, and the problem is, How can it be satisfied? In this revolt threo States will sympathize—Ohio, Indiana and | Pennsylvania. If weare to accept Colonel McClure as an oracle, as these States go so will gothe Union. Pennsylvania fromits demo- cratic side is soft money—its last State Con- vention was in that direction. Indiana is the fountain of the soft money sentiment, and | we have many respectable m:n in New York who would be glad to follow Mr. Cooper in | the same direction. How far will this mutiny extend? Gen- eral Butler, Thurlow Weed and Peter Cooper—all of them keen observers—-have ; been interviewed, and have expressed their belief that there will be a secession from the Convention under certain circumstances. We see nothing to justify that opinion. The friends of the murdered Allen--especially | those among them like Pendleton, McLean and others whe regard Tilden as his mur- derer-—will go to St. Louis breathing fury. But how far will it go? Will it be satisfied with the destructiom of 'Lilden, or will it de- mand ssoft money platform? Wedo not fear a revolt. ‘Che demociatic party broke at Charieston on « man, and they will not run that risk now. Behind Donylas and Breck- inridge there were the coming issues of the war. Behind Tilden and Allen is a senti- ment which few understand, and about which it would be very hard to excite any political enthusiasm one way or another. When it comes down to 9 question of har- mony and ali pulling together, when the grave leaders of the winning crowd have their final midnight conference, two or threo Cabinet portfolios can be “placed where they can do the most govd,” just as they were in 1860 by Lincoln's managers at Chicago, and, if the trath were ouly known, as it will be in time, as they wore piaced in | Hayes. We sce no revolt in St. Louis, A party fighting for power will never split for mere revenge. The money | queajion is nothing like tho slavery question. Much hunger and many years absence from the fleshpots have made the democracy conservative, When human na- ture finds itself between roast beef and the Lord's Prayer it is apt to prefer the beef, These democrats all need each other. If there is to be a new administration, Tilden and Bayard, Allen and Hendricks, Thurman and Sey- mour will all be necessary to it. A na- tional convention is- really a struggle for twenty offices, and not two. The nomination of Hayes, if successful, decides the high departments of the government and the chief missions. There was as much of a slate in- volved in that break for Hayes as there will be at St. Louis. It is more of a scramble for precedence than for place. A dozen gentle- men start out forthe Presidency, and any one of them will be content to win the Post- master Generalshipor the Spanish mission. The defeat of Blaine at Cincinnati makes him Sceretary of State under Hayes, just as the defeat of Tilden at St. Louis would make him the Secretary of State under the democrat who beats him if the democrats wi in. Just now the democratic problem, like that ofthe republicans, is to take the man that wins. Nothing will come from the threat- ened Ohio revolt. The lenders of the party will have lost their cunning if they cannot pacify Ohio in a ten minutes’ chat behind a parlor deor. There is more than one cluster of grapeson the vino, as Ohio politicians, with whom the grape is a growing industry, will be among the first to see. And after sixteen years wandering in the deserts of the opposition there are very few democratio statesmen who will not be satisfied with mouch less than the Presidency. The demo- crats have to nominate a ticket that will grow. They must not underrate what the republicans have done. It is well enough to say that they have picked out two of the scraggiest ponies in the stable; that they have put aside Sherman, Morton, Conkling, Logan, Blaine for one who was only up to Grant’s measure of a local Treasury office; that they ignored Curtis, Dana, Hartranft, Morgan for a Vice President ; who was never known outside of his district. Concede this, and show how much better any of us could have done, but the pregnant fact remains that this is a nega- tive, growing ticket, hard to break, as round asahickory nut. As Presidents go now we need not quarrel with Hayes. The demo- crats will do well if they can find a man who will unite them as firmly as Hayes has united the republicans. As the canvass now looks Mr. Tilden is ahead. Unless he should be strangled by the two-third rule he will have the majority of the Convention. Even ifthere should be a two-third rule there is no such minority opposed to him as was opposed to Mr. Douglas. If Uncle Samuel crosses the majority line he may be called the winner. Bot his supremacy is challenged, as was that of Blaine at Cincinnati. There are dark horses on his flanks, around and about him, who may ride him down at the last moment, as Blaine was ridden down by Hayes, Morton and Conkling. It is difficult to see from what direction they are coming, ' The St. Louis Convention will be largely uninstracted. The South will come almost asa unit for the man who can win. The same is true of New England. If Pennsylvania throws off New York and goes with the West then there will be a strong barrier of States to oppose. If tho Southern leaders see victory in Til- den they can and will nominate him. If they have any doubt on that point they will follow their instincts to the West, renew the alliance they formed on the inflation issue, and give us a ticket of about the same political and mental calibre as the milk and water nomination of Hayes and Wheeler. With two such tickets opposed the canvass will be as tranquil as a Quaker meeting, and we can give our enthusiasm to the Centennial. The British Courts and Extradition. The Louisville forger has followed his Boston brother out of prison in pursuance of England's determination to have an ex- tradition treaty with America that will em- body the limitations of the act of 1870, It has been clearly demonstrated that the law in question specially excepted the Ashburton Treaty from these limitations, but we are now for the second time presented with the extraordinary picture of the Attorney Gen- eral of England offering no resistance to the discharge of fugitive criminals amenable to extradition under a solemn treaty. The ground on which resistance was first mado to the surrender of Winslow was the act of 1870, but under the able showing by Mr. Fish of what the law really covers and does not cover that ground has been aban- doned, and the British refusal now simply means ‘I won't.” The excuse of Sir John Holker about the undiscerned meaning of the violated treaty was mere moonshine. In the absence of legislation forbidding officials to carry out the provisions of a treaty as usually administered the rule of long estab- lished precedent should be imperative. Mu- nicipal legislation by onc party to limit the scope of a treaty may lead to serious re- sults in certain cases, and ix at that party’s risk; but the Attorney Gen- eral could not even urge such legislation as an exeuse for his inaction, and we sce the strange sight of a high British court of jus- tice placing the blundering stubbornness of a Cabinet officer above the law of the land and letting the prisoner go. This phase of the extradition cases deserves more than passing comment. Duntxo tie Oup Stave Days the diyines of the South were not conspicuous for de votion to the cause of human freedom in a black skin. They had grown up under the shadow of the ‘peculiar institution,” and never saw fitto quarrel with their bread and butter. We do not suppose that the testimony of the Episcopal clergy of Bar- bados as to the Communistic aspirations of the blacks of that island will be given much weight by the English Colonial Office, They are naturally as much in tho hands of the planters as their brethren of the Southern States were, and are doubtless inoculated with the West Indian religion that any idea, save that of laboring in the sugar fieids at the cheapest possible rate, is sinful in a black. Wittingly or otherwise, | they have been made the tools of the polit- ical party which cpposes Governor Hen- nessy, end, although they do not accuse him of being responsible for the black Barbadian equivalent of ‘forty acres and a mule,” they make a sly blow at him over the turned | heads of the negroes, The cloth nover looks | well when disguising the politician, The New Jersey Delegation to St. Louis — Enthusiasm for Governer Parker. We print interviews with all the members of the New Jersey delegation. It is a strik- ing tribute to the character of Governor Parker that the democrats of his own State, who know him so well, think him the fittest standard bearer of the party for the great political contest which isnow opening. For aught we can see his chances for the demo- cratic nomination are quite as favorable as were those of Governor Hayes on the other side a week in advance of the Cincinnati Convention. Mr. Parker would have all the negative and more than all the positive ad- vantages of the republican candidate. Like Hayes he has escaped the envy and jealousy of rivals. Like Hayes his personal charac- ter is above reproach and his official record unsullied. Like Hayes he would be cor- dially accepted by the supporters of more prominent candidates if the success of their favorites should be found impracticable. Governor Parker's forward and zealous loy- alty during the war, the steadiness with which, as Governor of New Jersey, he kept the democratic party of that State firm for the Union, and his admirablo promptness and efficiency in furnishing troops at every call of President Lincoln, put it ont of the power of the republicans to shake public confidence in hi¢ unfaltering loyalty to the Union. In this respect he is more abso- lutely invulnerable than any other demo- cratic candidate, even including General Hancock, whose unsullied lustre as a Union | soldier cannot be disputed. Tho differenco is that General Hancock, as a faithful sol- dier bound to obey orders, had not the samo freedom of action as the Governor of a State, whereas Mr. Parker's splendid exhibi- tion of loyalty was entirely voluntary and unconstrained. If a candidate is to be nominated at St. Louis with a view to spike the republican guns Mr. Parker's resplen- dent record as a war Governor puts him not only in the first rank, but in the foremost place in that rank. ‘ Another strong point in favor of Gov- ernor Parker is the soundness of his opin- ions on the currency question, combined with the fact that he has given no offence to the Western democrats. He has no advan- tage over Governor Tilden in the correctness of his views; but, unlike Governor Tilden, he has not incurred the deep and bitter hos- tility of the Ohio democrats. If they are compelled to accept a hard money candidate they can support Governor Parker with a smaller sacrifice of pride than would be re- quired of them if the Convention should nominate a man who has aroused all the an- tagonism and stirred all the venom of the soft money democrats. The Cincinnati Con- vention, by its weak declaration on the cur- rency, has put it out of the power of the re- publicans to make any political capital as a hard money party. There is, accordingly, no necessity for the St. Louis Convention to emphasize its devotion to hard money by selecting an aggressive advocate of specie payments. Governor Parker's views are decided enough to meet the require- ments of the canvass, and he has a better chance than any other candidate for har- monizing the dissentient democracy of the East and West on this difficult question. These are the strong points of Governor Parker's‘ canvass; but still his chances for the democratic nomination depend on the inability of the leading candidates to get the support of two-thirds of the Convention. If the two-thirds rule should defeat Gov- ernor Tilden and his leading rivals Gov- ernor Parker seems to have the fairest pros- pect of coming in at the end of the race as the successfal dark horse. But if Governor Tilden should be within eighteen votes of the requisite two-thirds the New Jersey delegation will come to his rescue and give him the nomination. So far as they express any second choice their unanimous second choice is Tilden. The Progress of Materialism. The Catholic Bishop of Orleans, Felix Dupanloup, is also a life Senator, and his utterances, therefore, have a double value, for he speaks not only asacleric but as a politician. It is, however, true that this mingling of functions, which the spirit of the age regards more and more as incongru- ous, tends to take away ffom the authority of what he has to ee a purely religious nature. He has written a pamphlet, styled “Whither Are We Going?” which, a short cable despatch says, ‘‘endeavors to show that society and religion are in the greatest peril through the triumphant progress of atheism and materialism.” This is not by any means a new cry, although we have no doubt that the acute mind of the great French cleric will have presented it in a vory striking form. The progress of materialism is, in- deed, undeniable, but the question of how far society dg imperilled thereby is one which must be in out of the heat of politics to meet with fair consideration. That it impevils religion goes without saying if the progress is admitted to be great. With M. Dupanloup itis evidently a politico-religious question, and its discussion now will be attributed to the defeat of the monarchists in the French elections, the victorious republicans being held by their enemies to represent triumph- ant materialism. How unfair this may be we shall not attempt to discuss at present, beyond stating that among the monarchists of France the progress of materialism is only the less marked because it is veiled under indifferentism. Tho danger to society from materialism and atheism lies notso much in their being the professions of certain individuals as that, unchained by any moral code of their own, they might, if adopted by the ignorant, be held to absolve them from morality alto- gether. There may be nothing in tht rejec- tion of a personal God, or a belief only in the physical manifestations of nature by un- alterable laws as opposed to inspired ac- counts of the economy’ of the universe, to drive a man into dishonesty or any other crime against society, unless it is admitted that the fear of n hot hereafter and the anxiety for an eternal reward in the next world are the only motives that can avail to keep a man in tho path of rectitude, But it is cminently- a subject for the di- vines of the present day to grapple with, When the Evangelical Alliance met in this city three years ago JUNE 20, 1876.—TRIPLE SHEET. we commented upon the fact that only A Lull in the Eastern Question. one address of any importance directed} ‘The Paris correspondent of the London against the progress of materialism was de- livered, and that ‘by a German doctor. ‘It has been the fashion to say that atheism gained ground only in Catholic countries, where liberal minds revolted against its ex- travagant pretensions to infallibility, but Protestant Germany is in reality its head- quarters, and a great many Protestants would be astonished to find that in their joy over the attacks of Bismarck upon the Ger- man ultramontanes they have been taking part morally in a war which gains most of its anti-Catholic force from the enemies of all religions. In England materialism claims men of the highest social and scientific in- fluence, and in America its forces are far from unfelt. Here, we submit, is work for the divines of all creeds. What M. Dupanloup says to-day was said by Professor Christlieb three years ago, if not in the same form, at least with the same object, and ina few years at furthest it is likely to be the subject on which all Christian sects shall approach unity in striking at a common foe, At present recriminations between Prot- estants and Catholics are the order of the day. Say the Protestants:M‘Catholicism forces men into atheism by the law of ex- tremes.” Say the Catholics:—‘Protestant- ism leads to materialism like steps down a adder.” The Caldwell Despatch—An Infamous Affair. Tho republican party has reason for gratitude, not unmingled with terror, at its narrow escape from Mr. Blaine as its Presi- dential candidate. The notorious Caldwell despatch, which he so fiercely assailed Mr. Knott on the floor of the House for suppress- ing, is proved to be a shameless and un- scrupulous trick for practising upon the committee. Mr. Knott’s suspicions of its genuineness, which induced him to with- hold it, are fully justified by the facts, now that they have become known. That de- spatch was telegraphed from this country to London, in order to be cabled back, for the purpose of imposing on the committee and deceiving the country. Its skulk- ing concocter did not dare to sign it with his name nor to address it by name to Caldwell. It was sent from the Western Union building, in this city, addressed to “Favo,” in London, subscribed “Philadelphia,” with this direction:— “Cable this immediately to chairman House Judiciary Committee, Washington.” What followed was an exact draft of the London telegram received by Mr. Knott. This is one of the basest fabrications ever perpetrated, and it will cover with inefface- able infamy every man who was a party to it or an accomplice in it. Its detection and exposure are due to Mr. Hewitt, whose inti- mate knowledge of thé telegraph business, from his having been the president of one of the cable companies, enabled him to direct the investigation with the requisite skill for uncovering this scandalous fraud. We trust that its skulking authors and all their accom- plices may be detected and put in the pillory of public contempt. It is clearly the work of Mr. Blaine’s friends, and there is a strong presumption that it was done with his knowledge. The fact that he knew all about it before Mr. Knott, to whom it was addressed, and the two or three gentlemen to whom he had men- tioned it disclosed its existence, is a strong circumstance against Mr. Blaine. His ac- quaintance with the transaction was so minute that he surprised and almost confounded Mr. Knott, by telling in the House the sub- stance of its contents and the very hour when it had been received. Mr. Blaine’s other attempts to tamper with witnesses and to manufacture or suppress evidence, seem small matters in comparison with this. Even his method of procuring his letters from Mulligan is less disgraceful. This extraor- dinary and astounding transaction justifies the suspicion that the Mulligan letters were not read by Mr. Blaine as they were written, and that he garbled them to deceive the House and the country. The republican party had an escape as lucky as it was nar- row when Mr. Blaine barely failed to get the nomination at Cincinnati, Tue Impxacument Triat in the Senate, it is now decided, will proceed on the 6th of July and not be adjourned until November. To this order is added the proviso that the trial ‘‘can only proceed while Congress is in session.” This proviso opens the door for anotker contest in which the majority in the Senate will endeavor to force the majority in the House to remain in Washington during the summer-—something the democrats, who want to work in their districts, will not like. The whole trial has become so bound up in the Presidential campaign that each party will fight for effect before the country. The republicans, who are anxious to punish Bel- knap for the good of the party, will have to fight the Fabian tactics of Belknap's counsel. The democrats, who can get as much politi- cal capital out of the case if it is left un- finished by the republican judges as if | Tee's Provably to the Belknap was convicted, are not likely to help the Senate in its difficulty. For the sake of public business it would be as well to get the case out of the way before the fall, but for a cool trial perhaps November would suit all parties better. A Forozr 1x tHe Toms or tae Law.— William H. Veltman and his alleged confed- erates aro now under arrest for extensive forgeries committed on Messrs. Bryce & Smith, of New York. The forger was the bookkeeper of the firm, and was of course intrusted with its banking business, This trust he has betrayed and now stands com- mitted to’ await the action of the Grand Jury. The circumstances surrounding the crime, the cold blooded spirit of thieving exhibited by the forger, who was not in need, will weigh heavily against him in court, but we regard his case as an addi- Times is sagacious man, who can see as far into a stone wall as most people, who can distinguish » hawk from a handsaw when the wind is southerly, and, given a common- place phrase, so it comes from an Emperor, can foreshadow European politics therefrom as readily as a clairvoyant would tell a girl’s fortune on receiving a tress of her hair. Said the Czar of all the Russias to a lady the other day, ‘I hope they'll not bother me at Jugenheim as they have at Ems.” The ingenious correspondent builds a mighty structure upon this and draws conclusions sound enough in themselves, but as little dependent upon what the Czar said to the lady as the nomination of Hayes last Friday was upon the sometime famous remark made by the Governor of North Carolina to the Governor of South Carolina. The fact isthe correspondent wished to let the world know that he knew somebody who knew a lady who had exchanged the time of day witha live Czar, and he used it to give éclat to the dish of prognostications he had prepared from solid facts, just as the ingenious child of Erin made limestone broth by putting the beef, potatoes and spices that he had borrowed by way of sea- soning into the pot where his limestones were simmering. It has been pretty plain for some time past that the three Emperors have been bound over to-keep the peace of Europe fora month or two at least, This has been accomplished by Disraeli, who, while the three Chancellors were busy con- eocting plans in the North, by a supple movemént changed the aspect of things in the East so completely that there was nothing left for Russia, Austria and Germany to do but sit quiet until they could judge how the government of Mourad V. was likely to work. Turkey with its new ruler, new promises and new endeavors, backed by England, is left to herself for the present, but that does not mean that the trouble is all over. The financial difficulty, the insurgent diffi- culty, the Principalities difficulty remain to Turkey. She has a better opportunity of dealing with them than a month ago seemed possible, but her chances of surmounting them are not more discernible. The insur- gents refuse to lay down their arms, having tasted Turkish blood and Russian sympathy and felt the breath of freedom in their nostrils. The Principalities ask for territory as the price of peace. The ups and downs of Turkish bonds attest that the will and the deed are two different things in the payment of coupons. Meanwhile it is not to be supposed that Gortschakoff will cease to breed trouble, that Bismarck will pocket the snubbing he has received or that Austria cannot again be tempted into making dem- onstrations of her desire to stand before Europe asa peacemaker. The outlook in general is not so threatening as it was before Abdul-Aziz went boating down the Bospho- rus one rainy night, but indications are not wanting that new combinations dangerour to European peace are taking shape. Tus Dopwztt Murpze furnishes another terrible temperance lesson, for it was clearly the result of the intemperate habits of the murderer, who was laboring under the in- fluence of mania a polu when he committed the crime. It presents one of those cases in which the law finds it difficult to distinguish between an act of deliberate slaughter and the fatal violence of a man whose reason is destroyed by the abuse of alcohol. The evidence gath- ered at the Coroner’s inquest goes to show that Dodwell was a peaceable and well dis- posed man except when under the influence of strong drink, and there is an entire ab- sence of motive for the murder, so that the tragedy presents a problem which can only be solved by the most careful examination of ~the facts.
