Tue Ricut Man in rue Ricut Pracr.— The rumor that Sitting Bull proposes to run as the conservative candidate for Mayor in Hamburg, 8. C., is in no degree rendered | improbable by the news of the recent riot, which we print this morning. Ow Tus Day one hundred years ago the Declaration of Independence was read at the head of each brigade of the Continental army which was posted in the vicinity of | ‘New York. At the same time the equestrian | statue of George III. was pulled down by | the Sons of Freedom. The veterans of | Louisburg, from Connecticut, paraded the streets of New York, their “lank, lean cheeks and war-worn coats” creating much enthusiasm. Tae Rumor that France has postponed her International Exhibition of 1878 is officially declared to be without foundation. There | is no reason why, in the midst of a profound peace, her people flourishing in spite of | the great war burdens, her government definitely established and no change | in the Presidency possible, except by | death, before 1880, that France should deny herself the privilege of a great world show. Everything of the Kind which shows that | what was possible'as a demonstration of in- dustrial progress under a monarchy or an empire comes just as easy to a republic will help the cause of popular government in Europe. Custer.—The daring deeds that have marked the military career of the gallant Custer would fill a volume, for he never hesitated when duty called for or his native valor prompted action. Our columns to- day contain an interesting account of some of Custer's dashing exploits during the war of the rebellion, related by the comrades in arms who followed him to the fieid and through all its dangers. The love Custer's officers and men bore to their leader was the natural outgrowth of their confidence in | his skill and admiration for his courage. | He never failed to be in the front rank of the Dattle, where tho bullets flew thickest, and mever ordered even a squadron into action without being willing and anxious to lead it. The memory of Custer will live in the hearts of the American people when that of | his ungenerous persecutors will have faded | Into a shadowy recollection. _ Dow Carios, who has ‘been enjoying a very extensive tour over the American con- | tinent, gave a Hernratp correspondent at Washington yesterday an account of his journey and the reasons he had for making it. Since the close of the Carlist war the intentions of the de. | feated Prince have given consider- | able trouble to the authorities at Madrid. His journey through the United | Btates and Mexico appears to have been purely a pleasure trip, or of observation | combined with pleasure, and altogether un- associated with any designs upon Cuba or Mexico. What he told our corre- spondent yesterday about his chances of | reviving the war in Spain is a repeti- | tion of what he told a Hrxatv correspondent in London some months ago—namely, that he has far from given up hope, that his— netion will depend upon his opportnnities | and that these will come when the monarehy _ of Alfonso has fallen to pieces and a republic | has arisen in its stend to shock conservative Spaniards. It shows, however, that he is a man with an unchanged purpose, though he is content to let destiny play the game for him at present. This ‘waiting for dead | men’s shoes” is a business that enn be pur- sued by noone buta prince with success.

The Letter of Hayes—Its Effect on he Canvass—The Opportunity for Tilden. The letter of Governor Hayes accepting the nomination of the republican party for the Presidency will be read with interest. It is a fair, discreet document, and shows that the Governor is well advised. In this letter the Governor takes positive ground on service—meaning permanence in office and non-interference of Congress- men in patronage, which is the only way in which there can be civil service. He speaks emphatically in favor of an early resumption of specie payments, and, while conciliatory toward the South, intimates that the shot- gun will not be allowed to take the place of the rifle. There is a distinct, manly, ringing recognition of one term for the Presidency, which shows statesmanship, and is in all respects a noble utterance, and a bid for religious support on the school question, which is demagoguery and unworthy of a candidate for the Presidency. The one-term idea is the strong point and the school idea the weak point in what other- wise is a fair, commendable, statesmanlike letter. The campaign, therefore, is shaping itself. This letter of Governor Hayes is the first movement of the republican forces. The letter of Governor Tilden accepting the democratic nomination will bo the second move. Governor Tilden has not left us in doubt as to his position. Within twenty-four hours of the St. Louis Convention he raised the black flag, and announced that so far os he was concerned he craved war. In this speech the Governor went to the extreme of sneering at his opponents as negative men. What the republicans want is to preserve the old issues as far as pos- sible—to retain the rebellion, to appeal to religious bigotry, to alarm the conserv- | ative sentiment by intimating that ao | democratic » triumph would bring re- pudiation and revolution. There is in every country a large eonservative class sat- isfied to let well enough alone. This class defeated Mr. Greeley because it feared his election might mean revolution. Its ten- dency is now to support Hayes. It is the policy of the republicans to conciliate it and do nothing to alarm it. On the other hand, the democrats wish to remove every issue from the canvass but ‘“‘reform.” If they can sink every question but this, if they can adjourn every principle of political action but the one demand for “reform,” they will win. This was the meaning of the speech of the Governor, and so far as we have any idea of the democratic canvass, this inspires it now. “Attack theenemy. Call them all thieves ! Arousethe country to the fact that burglars arein every room of the government mansion. Demon- strate that the Centennial celebration really celebrates the decadence, not the improve- | ment, of the country. Point out that Iam the reformer, the thief catcher, the ring- Keep our opponents always on the defensive, always on the run.” This campaign is brilliant in conception. If Tilden could be allowed to command the army of his opponents as well as | his own he would win. But we must re- member that there are two armies in a fight, that there are tactics on both sides, that the republican forces are united and under astute generalship, and we see the ablest kind of management in this letter. We must remember, too, that the republi- cans nominated a ticket which united their party, while the democrats nominated one which does not give satisfaction to either the East or the West. We do not know officially whether Mr. Hendricks will even accept his nomination, or whether, it he | does, it will not be in a letter which will do his cause more harm than good. If, there- | fore, Tilden can rally his party to | one point, if he can fuse it into a flame, if he can subordinate all ambitions, | strifes and disappointments to the one thought, ‘‘victory and reform,” he will have a fair chance of winning. The true aspect of the canvass is, therefore, that the repub- licans have organized and the democrats are trying to organize. When we have the letters of Tilden and Hendricks, especially of Hendricks ; when we see how sincere Indiana and Illinois are in Tilden’s sup- port, we can estimate the chances of | triumph. So far as Grant and Grantism are concerned, the two burdens of the republi- ean party, they will lie more lightly upon Hayes than upon any other candidate. They | are heavy burdens, we admit, and Grant is | by such acts as the removal of Yaryan and Dyer; but we question whether a campnign | for the Presidency can be fought upon them | alone. | The weak point in this campaign of 'Til- pecially in this Centennial time. Here we | have been ringing bells and firing cannon and burning bonfires—all to celebrate our- selves to ourselves and to all the world as the | these outbreaks? freest, the bravestand the grandest nation in | the world. Here are two Emperors, the one of | Germany and the other of Russia, who write us letters to the same effect. This is the | festival of the apotheosis of Saint Yankee Doodie, and we are all‘off on a grand féte. To be met in this merry-making by Til- | den and his fellow prophets, to be told that we are all wrong, that we are really going to the bad, that our Centennial product is no better than Spain or Turkey—nothing could | be more annoying to our pride. This | is the danger of the “reform” policy and the underlying danger of the campaign, | so far as Tilden is concerned. “Reform” is a | good issue—but will it last? A revival in | church is a blessing to religion, but even the | best Christians tire of the anxious bench. Tilden may convince the country for a week or two that it is going to the bad, but six | months is along time for mortification and self-denial. Other questions will be forced upon him. Governor Hayes throws a half | Tilden | to carry-—-and already his enemies throw ont suggestions to the efféct that he would not live anyhow were he in the White | House, and that we should have Hendric He will have the church question, which, although the veriest quackery from a | political point of view, is still a potent influ- | | ence. He will have the Southern question | | pests of the poor sewing women. | assure the good people ot Tennessee that we also, which, although not so potent as it was, and which grows weaker every year, still has a strong hold upon the Northern and Western States. All these are problems that the Governor would be glad to ignore, but they are conditions in the can- vass and must have consideration. If hecan make “reform” the transcendent question, if he can make a fervid canvass like those for Fremont and Lincoln, if he can force his en- emies on the defensive and keep them there, he will have a fair chance of winning. But it is a good deal to expect, more we fear than the mercurial temper of our people and their self-complacency over Centennial af- fairs will permit. There is this also to be considered—that Tilden is a very able man, who knows every wire in the political ma- chine; who has been accustomed to hand- ling conventions and campaigns; who will not be without abundant resources. The democratic army will have a good commissary and quartermaster’s depart- ment this year, and that is an immense ad- vantage. Governor Tilden has the opportunity, which Governor Hayes offers in his letter, of | making a burning appeal to the country. Let him emphasize and echo every good point of Hayes and strike his weak points. Let him unite in the demand for purifying the civil service, and say he will make no removals except for cause. Let him sup- port Hayes in denying to Congressmen any right to interfere in the patronage. Let him take as high ground as Hayes in favor of one term. On this he will have the exampleof Buchanan. Let him beas shrewd as Hayes on the school question, for there the republicans expect to win much strength, and he can say as much as his rival without doing his canvass any harm. While the let- ter of Hayes justifies the approval bestowed upon his nomination as a safe, fair man, while as s republican move it helps the party, it gives Governor Tilden a good op- portunity—the opportunity of saying that the party of Hayes has been in power for six- teen years without redeeming a single prom- ise contained in this letter of acceptance, and that what Lincoln and Grant could not do will hardly be done by Hayes—that where a political system is false no man can save it, and that promises are vague after sixteen | years of broken pledges, Bloodshed in the South—How to Elect Hayes and Wheeler. We have a series of despatches from Augusta, Ga., describing a conflict between a militia company composed of negroes and a white company, which, according to the report, assembled for the purpose of compelling this negro company to respect the decision of a negro judge. The reasons leading to this collision are given with that vagueness which generally characterizes de- spatches from the South detailing any quarrel between blacks and whites, a vagueness which may be attributed in most cases to the fact that the whites write the narratives, while the negroes are killed. The practical point in this South Carolina quarrel is that the militia negro company was dispersed with canister; that at two in the morning ‘four prisoners were shot” and the rest released; that the full extent of casualties are un- attainable, but that our correspondent “counted one white man and six negroes dead.” “One white man and six negroes dead” is about the fair average in these disturbances. Is it any wonder that Senators like Morton raise the bloody shirt? Is it any wonder that peaceful men in the North mourn over this bloodshed and ask if there can be law and order where public opinion justifies We await with deep inter- est the full details of this new contest. So far.as the report now goes it looks as if these Southern white madmen had resolved to elect Hayes and Wheeler. They are doing yeoman’s service in Augusta. One or two Hamburg riots will settle the business. A Monument to Custer. In this country we are too apt to neglect the graves and the memory of the men whose lives were sacrificed in the country’s honor and the country’s defence. With us tributes to the departed are too rare, in- deed—at least tributes which will keep green the memory of a brave man or a great deed. Washington has no monument worthy of his fame and his services to the Republic, and the shaft we attempted to raise in honor of his name might as well be taken down, for there is no hope that it will ever be finished. Jackson and Clay and Webster, norany one of our statesmen or soldiers, have a fitting mausoleum. Their deeds live only in their country’s history. Shall the same fate befall the latest of our heroes, the brave Custer and those of his kinsmen who fell fighting by his side? We trust not, and sin- cerely hope that the widespread feeling of sympathy which has been excited by the spectacle of a whole family lying in close proximity on the field of slaughter will be responded.to by a deed as bright as these emotions have been generous. Even the savages, wrought to admiration by the bravery and courage of the great chief whom they slew, preserved his body from mutilation and desecration. Can we do less in recog- nition of his glorious career? At least we must give him a monument more enduring than this unconscious tribute of the savage foe. Yesterday we proposed some fitting memorial, and offered to give one thousand dollars as the Henarp’s share toward so im- portant and so worthy an object. We prefer that an association with a responsible treas- urer be formed to carry this project forward, and in the meantime we will receive and re- port such subscriptions as may be made to- ward that end, and pay over the same and our own contribution to the treasurer of the Custer Monument Association as soon as one is appointed. A Sewixe Macurne Acrxt has been cap- tured in Tennessee tor swindling and ill- regulated amativeness.

For the first time in more than a genera- tion the government is confronted by that only dangerous fact in Indian history, a leader possessed of sufficient fame and infiu- ence to awaken in the mind of every savage the slumbering hope for successful con- flict, and possessed, also, apparently, of enough genius for that kind of war to real- ize this hope when any proper precaution is neglected by those sent to operate against him. Every Indian war, every important episode in the relations of the white man with the Indian on this continent, has been associated with the appearance of such a chieftain. It is true that war, in the history of every people, produces leaders of excep- tional fame. Every chronicle of carnage “shines with the sudden making of splendid names.” But with civilized races wars are made for reasons aside from chieftainship, and the war, unless it is abnormally short, produces the commander who conducts it to a successful or satisfactory issue, Thus, war with us makes leaders, but with the Indians it has always been otherwise. Leaders trained in the strife that on a small scale is perennial obtain influence and fame, and the elements of power gather around them | by a kind of unconscious human gravita- tion; or they, with prevision of the possi- bilities, with a partial comprehension of the case, organize extended movements of their whole race, and the appearance of a leader capable of conceiving the combination and conducting the operations produces the war. He is the essential condition of unity of urpose. 3 Toke. the ordinary record of the Indian existence and we find it to bea power that melts away silently for the most part under the influence of the steady pressure of con- tact with a superior race; but there are points in the chronicle that stand out above the rest like blazing promontories. In that part of the chronicle you will find the names of Black Hawk or Osceola, Pontiac or Tecumseh, Billy Bowlegs, Red Jacket, Corn- planter, Powhatan or King Philip—some of these distinguished by the happier com- prehension and capacity that made leagues for the preservation of the peace from true philanthropic views of the welfare of their race, but the larger number giving unusual faculties to the more ,natural pursuit of savage impulses, and thus producing in the history of their race epochs of furious hos- tility and an almost national sentiment. In this there is no point that is especially peculiar to the savages of this continent. It is an essential distinction between nomadic peoples, whether altogether savage or only partly so, and the peoples that havea settled existence, national character and political organization. Asin the scale that has civilization at one extreme and a merely savage or animal life at the other men are nearer to one or the other of these extremities they act in com- bination under the inspiration of dif- ferent motives. Only the stimulus of war—the thirst for slaughter—induces the men of mere savage tribes to act with others in a common unity and subordination, while the unity of civilized peoples is secured for a thousand other objects, and in peaceful and in warlike purposes is constant. In any case of savage combination where the great leader is killed that is the end of the war. Sitting Bull, and Crazy Horse as his capa- ble lieutenant, are, therefore, the important features in this war; and governments that act on the policy of putting a price on the heads of savages might well consider their crania cheap at twenty thousand dollars each. There is, however, no such cheap escape for us—because that policy would, doubtless, offend throughout the country a sentiment much more respectable than that which inspired the moral tract policy of snivelling over the Indians. There is, in short, good reason for the opinion that the Indians, bad as they are, are not alone to blame for this war. The rifles that killed Custer and his men were held by Indians, and Indians pulled the triggers, but to put a plain truth in an obvious metaphor, the pieces were loaded at Washington. Sitting Bull is, no doubt, a bad In- dian; but he has been a bad Indian for a number of years, and yet there has been no_ great war. He has roamed up and down the country and lived by isolated murders and necessary thefts, and has been joined from time to time by | bands of marauders like himself; but though always ready to gather force about | him, and perhaps solicitous to that end, he was for years unsuccessful, for the agency Indians, by their relation with the govern- ment, had got just enough taste of the ad- vantages of civilization to comprehend them, and in that taste had a sufficient moral and intellectual support against their savage impulses. The mere appearance ofa leader was in this case not enough, there- fore ; but it was an essential condition, and when the government supplied a motive the warcame. Those men in the government, therefore, whose duty it is to see the Indians honestly dealt with are to blame for the dis- content and even starvation that have driven vast numbers of agency Indians to swell the force of Sitting Buall’s marauders. It will be necessary to deal resolutely with the Indians, and if those on the warpath can | be exterminated so much the better; but the country must not forget that the responsibility for the Indian rings, which are worse than the Indians, lies at the door of the President of the United States. Tue CoxtixveD Hor Weather has been attended with extremely unpleasant conse- quences all over the country, but in the cities, particularly of New York and Brook- | lyn, many fatal cases of sunstroke have oc- curred since the commencement of the heated term, while instances of dangerous prostration have been too numerous for record. Yesterday there was a slight diminution of temperature in this in the morning owing to the prevailing cloudiness and the change of the wind to easterly points due to the advance of the atmospheric depression which we an- nounced in yesterday's Henatp; but during the afternoon, and notwithstanding the brisk breeze, the thermometer indicated 101 de- grees, the highest temperature recorded for the past four years.

Fortunately the alarm was unfounded re- specting the reported fatal cases; but the effect of the heat was so terrible as to cause the abandonment of the camp yesterday morning. We publish elsewhere the par- ticulars of this affair, which indicate gross ignorance and mismanagement on the part of the New Jersey military authoritios, Castle Garden. While we can scarcely regret the disap- pearance of the unsightly structure so long known as Castle Garden, yet we cannot forget that the rude edifice was one of the landmarks of a city which has allowed too few buildings with historic associations clinging round them to remain standing. In later years, as everybody knows, it was a mere immigrant station, but there was some- thing like fitness even in this, for from the time that the Dutch first landed at Com- munipaw to make the island of Manhattan their home it was the outlook of New Am- sterdam, New Orange and New York. It occupied the site where the early Dutch settlers first erected their fort. In the early days of the metropolis it was the social centre of the city. The Dutch Governors and burghers had their headquarters on this spot. It was there they smoked their pipes in solemn content, and from there old Petrus Stuyvesant directed the affairs of New Netherlands and made war by proclama- tion. Ata later day the English conquerors used it as their Dutch predecessors had used it before, so that up to the time of the Revo- lution it was the outpost of the city. When Washington followed Lee to the Kennedy House, at No. 1 Broadway, to prepare for the defence of the city against Sir Henry Clinton and Lord Howe and his brother the Admiral, whose fleet and army were in the lower bay and on Staten Island, it was the centre of his defensive operations. Old Fort George stood upon this’ site or near it. When he returned in triumph after the war was over and when indepen- dence had been gained, it was here the Father of his Country landed from his barge, amid the acclaim of his countrymen., Later still, when war and defence were lost and useless arts to the commercial centre of the New World and music came to soften the pursuits of trade, it was here that Jenny Lind first entranced her American hearers, At last, however, the situation was of no avail for any of its old uses. The military outposts of the city were below the Narrows, and wealth and fashion had long deserted the Battery and Bowling Green for Rich- mond and Murray hills. Even Jenny Lind went to sing at Tripler Hall, and all the world moved up town or out of town. It was then that Castle Garden became the principal emigrant station, and so con- tinued until its destruction by fire. At best, it was ill adapted to the purposes for which it was used, and its destruction yesterday removes what was an eyesore to the ap- proaches to the city from the bay. Now there is scarcely a sign that the old building once stood on the historic site it occupied, and we trust no effort will be made to re- place it with any temporary or permanent structure. The city can afford to preserve this spot from any of the base uses to which it has been put, and its associations are best cherished by keeping it unobstructed as part of the Battery Park. In the future the site might be made the landing place of all dignitaries whom the city chooses to receive, but by no baser uses should it at any time be desecrated. Oar Dead Correspondent. The death of Mark Kellogg, who shared the fate of Custer and his comrades, gives a sad interest to the brief sketch of his life which we print on another page. His career was useful and honorable, but fame came to him as to many a good man it has come— only when it was worthless. He had strug- gled and suffered and failed and succeeded, and even in his fall was seeking to render service to his country. Every one among his civil and military companions liked and respected Mr. Kellogg, and one of the pa- thetic incidents after the fight was when the officers of General Gibbon’s command searched the field for the body of the army correspondent. There is a lesson which his death teaches. The army correspondent often holds the post of honor in journalism because he holds the post of danger. It is of battle, and for the sake of the pen to defy the dangers of the sword. His services are not merely those of a historian, but are ren- dered to the power which now makes history possible. Cmsar wrote his own commentaries and Napoleon dictated his own memoirs, but the correspondent must record the fight the moment it is fought, nor wait for the slow official reports. The anxious eyes that watch | a distant army where every soldier is a hus- band, brother or son, the impatient heart of the country that beats for victory, cannot cold, calm despatches. The press must speak, and it is the press, and through it the There have been many illustrious instances during the late war of men who perished in battle or to give the facts to the people with- out delay. But no one died ina more haz- ardous service than Kellogg, or one in which glory. There is small fame to be won in our Indian wars. . Snecess is taken for granted and defeat accepted with surprise by the country. It is fortunate for Custer’s fame that he did not survive the terrible mis- fortune at Little Big Horn River. Glory, came to Kellogg, as to all the others only by death. It was not an idle curiosity that sent Kel- logg to fall by a savage hand in tliat un- his brothers and all that gallant array, in the discharge of his duty, and no death could be nobler than that. Thackeray de- scribes how Pendennis and Warrington passed a great newspaper office in London— a blaze of light)/and labor in the midst of the sleeping city., ‘Look at that, Pen!" War- rington said. ‘There she is—the great en- gine—she never sleeps. She has her am- | bassadors in, every quarter of the world, her couriers upon every road. Her officers march along with armies and her envoys | walk into statesmen’s cabinets.” hk. which was true when Thackeray wrote is doubly true now, and one more correspond- ent of the Herarp'has given his life to the dignity and honor of American jour nalism. The Hayes and Wheeler Campaign Rhymes. If Mr. Conkling had been nominated at Cincinnati the republican campaign poetry would have been all right, for his friends, who were more numerous among the poets than they were in the Convention, had sup plied a hundred thousand rhymes to hi celebrated name. It is true that many of these rhymes were alike; but ‘honkling,” “donkling,” ‘‘monkling” and ‘‘conchling” will long live in the annals of American po- etry. But as Mr. Conkling did not long cling these many thousands of noble poems are either useless or will have to be put away for future use. It was Horace, we think, who said that a poet should keep his verse for seven years before publishing ; but the Conkling poets may not have to wait longes than four. Mr. Conkling being now superannuated asasubject for the poets the whole cam- paign of rhyme must begin again. The war that for a space did fail now trebly thunder ing swells the gale, and Hayes and Wheele: isthe cry. Weare pleased to see so much imagination displayed so early in the repub- lican canvass, and consider it to be a for tunate omen for that ticket. Already we have received hundreds of campaign songs, in which the rhymes for Hayes exhibit the most remarkable invention. One correspond- ent informs us that ‘the Union will be soon ablaze to escort to the White House Hayes, while the liberty bell rings another pealer this centennial year for Hayes and Whee- ler.” Another sweet singer tells us that ‘in Cincinnati James G. Plaine strove vainly to defeat him, sir, and there’s not @ man in the nation’s main who is, in my opinion, sir, competent to beat him, you bet. Then glory to Rutherford Burchard Hayes; to Wheeler also glory be, my countrymen; and glory too, which never decays, to the republican party, Mr. Editor.” Here is a campaign song which we should much like to hear sung, and we wish that Mr. Pat Gilmore would set it to appropriate music. A poet, who apparently desires to exhaust the whole possibilities of rhyme, favors us with the following:— “With glad amaze we hail thee, Hayes! and now we raise our joyous lays to sound thy praise, immortal Hayes! 'Tis no ass brays, turned out to graze; but Pegasus neighs, eager for frays, and spurns delays, while he essays to sing great Hayes! Oh, happy days! oh, welcome phase! the sun's bright rays dispel the haze that blinds our gaze ; and lo! a blaze of glory plays about our Hayes! Thy name, oh Hayes! all fear allays of a ‘Gree- ley craze’ which but betrays ; thy fame out- weighs the foe’s arrays ; lo! bring forth bays to crown our Hayes! Bully Wheeler was the healer of the Louisiana row ; and that, upon a bigger scale, is just what we need now.” Although this is poetry we print it as prose, for the reason that life is short and laure- ates are long, and because much as we re- spect the muses we must always give space to the newses. If the Henanp were a maga zine it would devote pages to this beautiful verse, but at any rate we trust the campaign poets will give the public another haze when- ever they feel in the humor. Tue Srnvians have not marked their ad- vance into Turkish territory with any success so far likely to have any favorable effect upon the war. On the other hand, the Turks are reported to have crossed the Drin and entered Servia, drawing the Servian troops encamped at Belgrade to meet them. The defeat of General Zach, as described in our special cable despatch, appears to have been an overwhelming one, The fate of the present offensive warfare of Servia upon Turkey hangs upon the struggle imminent between General Tchernayeff and the Turks under Osman Pacha. Montenegro still waits, the isolation of Servia being still almost complete. It is more and more evident that the chances of outside help depend upon Servia’s show. ing some ability to maintain an offensive po- sition unaided. The one other chance of attracting help by the desperation of a de fensive struggle is a very remote one, PERSONAL INTELLIGENCE, A Wisconsin man’s name is G.
