It will puzzle the Democratic State Con- vention, which is to meet at Saratoga next week, to find a candidate for Governor who is as strong in his own party as Mr. Morgan s in the republican party. HoratioSeymour might, indeed, more than meet this require- ment; but Mr, Seymour has so often de- clared his immovable purpose never again to be a candidate for office that he is quite out- side the pale of choice, But with the single | exception of Mr. Seymour there is no demo- cratic citizen of the State who equals or ap- | proaches Mr. Morgan in the ability to turn the resources of his own party to the best account, Dorsheimer, who has heretofore been Governor Tilden’s favorite candidate, would make a small figure in a canvass against Mr. Morgan. Dersheimer is a demo- eratic neophyte ; he has been too recently transplanted to the party to have struck his roots deeply into the soil, whereas Governor Morgan has enjoyed the full and steady contidence of the republican party trom the day it was first organized up to the present time. Seymour is the only democrat in the State who possesses in an equal degree the confidence of his own party; but Seymour has made himself an impos- sible candidate. There no room doubt that Mr. Morgan would make a wise, safe and discreet Governor, for he has twice held the office to the entire satisfaction of his party and the public; and he might have been elected a third time if he had not preferred a transfer to the Senate of the United States. Whether Mr. Evarts would not have made astronger and more popular cundidate has become a mere speculative question ; but while it remained a practical question the | only body authorized to pass upon it de- cided in favor of Governor Morgan. ‘Lhe nomination of Mr. Evarts might have opened amore spirited canvass ; for the appeal, in that case, would not have been to the repub- lican party merely, but to the whole body of intelligent citizens. Multi- tudes who care little for party politics would have been proud to vote for Mr. Evarts as a means of testifying their admi- ration of great abilities, high character and conspicuous public services. Mr, Evarts would have made a more dashing canvass. He would have excited the enthusiasm of many who care nothing for mere party poli- tics. But old stagers like Mr. Thurlow Weed, who are “hackneyed in the ways of me: judged that the enthusiasm of volun- teers is of little account in comparison with the steadiness and discipline of regular troops; and this judgment controlled the action of the Convention. | It does not need Mr. Weed’s political ex- perience and astuteness to appreciate the reasons why he preferred Mr. Morgan to Mr. Evarts. ‘The basis of Mr. Weed’s reasoning is that the republican party has an assured majority in this State whenever all its mem- bers can be brought to the polls. He thinks oefull republican vote equal to victory and that there is no need of courting out- side support if the republican party can be thoroughly reunited and inspired with sufficient zeal. The dem- ocratic canvass of 1872 was a signal demonstration of the futility of depending on volunteers instead of the regular political army. The Greeley canvass was lively and spirited at its opening, but fell flat in its subsequent stages, because two sullen and disgusted democrats stayed away from the polls for every liberal republican that was induced to vote the democratic ticket. Mr. Weed has no faith in that sort of tactics, and when aman of his ripe experience differs from ao sentimental politician like Mr. Curtis there is a strong presumption that the old pilot has a better knowledge of the intri- cacies of the channel than the amateur. Be this as it may, the Republican Convention thought it safer to follow the counsels of Mr. Weed and nominated Mr. Morgan. There was no necessity for courting the sup- j port of the liberal republicans and independents, for they had already | given a hundred proofs of their in- | tention to support the Hayes ticket. | Their _ votes secure in any event. Whey will support Morgan with as | much zeal as they would have supported | Evarts ; but the nomination of Morgan has a | greater tendency to keep the Old Guard steady and efficient. At any rate it was | safer for the Convention to follow the judg- | ment of an old leader like Mr. Weed than of a sentimentalist like Mr. Curtis, although | the latter presented an admirable candidate, | It is easy to say that ‘machine politics” won the vietory, but veteran politicians are more likely to succeed than irregular troops. ‘Lhe | latter may have more dash at the outset, but is for were | the regulars are more reliable in the ¢ the battle. Ina choice between discipline and enthnsiasm Mr. Weed's judgment in politics resembles that of General Sherman in military operations. The Saratoga Con- vention accepted Mr, Weed's strategy, and it | is now too late to revise its decision. as idle to speculate on the vote which Mr, Evarts might have polled as to ask what would have happened “if your uncle had been your aunt.” It is certain that the Re- | nomination for Governor and that the demo- cratic party will be ‘put up to all it knows” to present a better. | The spontancous choice of the New York | democrats for a candidate to be pitted against so strong a rival as Morgan would, of course, be Governor Seymour, if he would consent to run; but this tramp card cannot be played. ‘The two most prominent demo- cratic candidates for the democratic nomina- tion sre Lieutenant Governor Dorsheimer and Clarkson N. Potter. The strength of Mr. Dorsheimer lies in the fact that he is the preference of Governor Tilden, and Mr. Tilden has too much interest in the canvass to afford to make o mistake on s0 vital o point. He is nochicken in State politics, and he has a greater stake than anybody else in the defeat of the republican ticket. But he has not been expecting the nomination of Morgan, but of Cornell. Mr. Dorsheimer might have been a strong candidate against Cornell without carrying guns enough to contest the State with Morgan. yet appear-whether Mr. Tilden will change his preference in view of the action of the Republican Convention ; but if he adheres It is | a - | publican Convention has made a strong | A Nover though senguinary method of | It does not | | things are pleasant to record, especially in | and grace are to be compared with the rude | to outstrip all the other events of the NEW YORK HERALD, FRIDAY, to Dorsheimer as the strongest candidate the Democratic Convention should “think twice” before crossing his wishes. Governor Til- den is altogether the shrewdest politician among the New York democrats ; there is no better judge of the public sentiment of the State ; no other man has so deep an interest in a democratic victory, and if a politician of his consummate skill should regard Mr. Dorsheimer as the strongest candidate to be run against Governor Morgan the Demo- cratic Convention onght to weigh his judg- ment carefully before overruling it. It may be that the republican nomination will change Governor Tilden’s choice ; but if he adheres to it his party will run some risk in crossing his wishes, for no other democrat in the State understands its public senti- ment so well as Governor Tilden, We recognize the force of the considerations which led Mr. Tilden.to prefer Dorsheimer when he supposed that Cornell would be the republican candidate. Dorsheimer and Cornell are about equal in political status, and Dorsheimer has a great advantage on all the reform questions. His boldness on the money question in the St. Louis Conven- tion is a great feather in his cap, but it will avail him little against such a candidate as Morgan, whose hard money record is unim- peachable. But yet, if Governor Tilden ad- heres to his original preference, and thinks that Dorsheimer is as strong o candidate nst Morgan as he would have been against Cornell, it is very possible that his judgment may be correct, although others fail to see it. Certain it is that Mr. Tilden is under heavier bonds to guard against mistakes in the democratic ticket than any other citizen of the State. If, on a full re- view of the situation since the republican nominations, he continues to think Mr. Dorsheimer the strongest candidate, his judgment should be well considered by the Democratic State Convention before it is re- versed. Not democrat disputes that Mr. Dorsheimer is right and sound on all the greater public questions; but a large por- tion of the party doubt whether a new re- ernit like Mr. Dorsheimer is the safest leader in a critical canvass. . Next to Lieutenant Governor Dorsheimer Mr. Clarkson N, Potter is most talked of in democratic circles as the candidate for Gov- ernor, and he has some advantages to which Mr. Dorsheimer can make no claim. Mr. Potter has been a steady and consistent dem- ocrat, but Mr. Dorsheimer ected with the re- publican party from the Fremont campaign in 1856 up to the Greeley movement in 1872. Mr. Potter 1s known and respected in the same business circles at this end of the State by which Governor Morgan is held in high esteem, whereas they know little or nothing of Mr. Dorsheimer. Mr. Potter has won a bright and enviable repntation in Congress, but Mr. Dorsheimer is not known outside of the State. If Governor Tilden should pursue the course adopted by Senator Conkling, and leave the selection of candidates to the free action of the State Convention, he would do a wiso thing both for himself and his politi- cal party. In that event Mr. Potter would have excellent chances for the nomination, and no democratic candidate could make a strotiger canvass. According to present ap- pearances the choice of the Convention lies between Dorsheimer and Potter, and, with- out intending to disparage the claims of Mr. Dorsheimer, we think Mr. Potter would be the stronger candidate, The Centennial Contests. The progress which has been made in athletic sports during the last century is fitly illustrated by the prominence of yacht- ing, boating and rifle practice in the pro- gramme for the Centennial celebration, Already the yacht clubs have contested in an ocean race for centennial honors. At this moment the Schuylkill is alive with eager contestants with the oar, including single sculls nnd crews of two and four. Never before were so many representative oarsmen brought together in this country. Nearly | all the American clubs are represented, and New Brunswick and Nova Scotia have sent us their swiftest watermen. The Thames may also contribute some of its best profes- sional oarsmen to give interest and variety to the féfes. The Dublin University Rowing Club will participate, and so will many of our own college crews; it is not impossible that even Cambridge and Oxford will put in an appearance in some shape. All these the interest of boating. In this aspect the value and importance of the matches cannot be overestimated. Style as well as speed is to be tested, and from this year boating men in the Old World and the New will begin to understand the difference in their “schools.” B h finish energy and force of the backwoods, and we are to have a comparison of strokes as well as of swiftness. All this has an interest and value of its own. But for novelty and the hold it is likely to take upon the popular imagination the international rifle match at Creedmoor, which begins on the 12th of September and lasts two days, is likely year. In this great match the Irish, Scotch, Australian, Canadian and American rifle teams will compete for the championship of the world, This match excites a worldwide attention, and the greatest interest will be | felt in its results. At this early day it is impossible to predict which of the teams will be able to carry off the medal of the United States Centennial Commission, and we all await with impatience the decree of skill and good fortune which is to decide whether it shall remain at home, become the possession of our northern neighbors or be taken over the seas to Ireland or Scotland or to the antipodes. In any event we shall all be satisfied, though none of us can ex- pect to see the next trial of skill at the ond of another hundred years. Wonkaen Ans Lravine this country for Europe in search of employment. A large number went to Scotland on the steamship Pennsylvania yesterday.

The most efficient politician at Saratoga was Thurlow Weed, the venerable Nestor of New York politics. It is owing to him more than to any other individual that the pro- ceedings at Saratoga weré so harmonious and that the work of the Convention gives such general satisfaction to the republican party. With the foresight in which he was never wanting Mr. Weed perceived that his party was in o crisis, and that every possibility of electing a republican President was staked on the action of the Saratoga Convention, In spite of years and infirmities he, felt that it was his duty to come to the reseue and to buskle on the po- litical armor in which he was so powerful in younger days, Although infirm in body his mind is as clear and vigorous as it ever was, and his influence in the republican party is rather strengthened than abated by the fact that he has nothing to hope or fear from the success or defeat of political parties, and that his counsel, whether accepted or not, is perfectly disinterested. This, indeed, was one source of his great influence in the days of his prime. With hundreds of op- portunities to obtain office in his long politi- ver Mr. Weed steadily declined them and by this disinterested course acquired such confidence as a political adviser as has never been possessed by any other great leader in American politics. He has made Governors, has made Senators, has deter- mined the choice of foreign ministers and places in the Cabinet, but has never sought any official position for himself, and when such places have been offered and pressed upon him he has always declined them. Had he been a vulgar office- seoker he could not have exerted that controlling influence in American politics which made him the most influential man of his time. Mr. Weed has loved power, but has scorned the ostentation of it; he has seen public men rise and fallin ephemeral prosperity, while his own influence was perennial so long as he chose to be active in cal cai all, he politics. In late years he has retired from the political arena and sought the seclusion suited to his years. Nothing short of a great crisis in the fortunes of his party could have tempted him to forego his ease and make a journey to Saratoga. He accomplished the object for which he went, and the republican party is probably more indebted to him than to any other influence for the harmony which pre- vailed in its State Convention and the excel- lent ticket which it put in nomination. He went to Saratoga with the intention to make Governor Morgan the leading can- didate, and he accomplished his purpose. This is probably the last occasion in which this astute and peerless politician will exert his influence. IfMr. Morgan is elected, and the electoral votes of New York are given to Hayes as a fruit of the republican victory, Mr. Weed will deserve a great share of the credit, Let the result of the election be as it may, this is probably the last occasion on which this remarkable man will take an active and controlling part in the politics vf the coun. try. The Coal Question. It is especially necessary at this time, in the interest of fair dealing and the integrity of the laws of trade, that the Lehigh Valley Railroad shall be sustained in its quarrel with the Coal Ring by a strong public senti- ment. So strong is the grasp of the monop- oly upon the production as well as the transportation of coal that competition is to be fostered above every other consideration. If we lose this we lose everything, and the broken Ring will be riveted again moro firmly than before. The two interests to be protected are the rights of the consumer and the freedom of the producer. The carrying companies seek to control these by arbitrary schedules of tonnage and prices. In affecting it they endeavor to crush every interest but their own. Itis only natural that the next step should be an attempt to punish the Lehigh Valley road for its alleged breach of faith with the other companies in the combination in carrying more tonnage than it was entitled to by the terms of the conspiracy. Should such an attempt succeed it would be dis- astrous in the extreme, especially if the managers of the Lehigh Valley road can be induced to act*in good faith toward the public. In this direction, it must be confessed, the company needs watching. We care nothing about its breach of faith with the combination, and if the charge attributed to it that the other com- panies were selling coal at lower prices than schedule rates is only an excuse for dissoly- ing its connection with the Ring, we would be inclined to justify it. But there are rumors afloat affecting the company which have anything else than an innocent look. There is no reason why the Lehigh Valley road should discredit the great sale of coal on Tuesday next unless it be to maintain prices by keep- ing purchasers from the sale. If the sale is to be a valid one, and we trust itis, every- body will hail this kind of punishment for the Lehigh Valley Company with delight. Asale of this nature will bring the trade nearer its true basis than anything else. Combination and speculation have too long controlled the coal business, and what we now wish to see maintained is freedom for everybody— the freedom of the coal companies and opera- tors to produce as much coal as they may choose, the freedom of the carrying com- panies to carry as much tonnage as they can, which in the end will be only as much as there is a market for, and the freedom of consumers to buy whero they can buy the cheapest in the absence of any arbitrary standard fixed by a combination or con- spiracy represented by a board of control. In a word, now that the Coal Ring is broken a stern public opinion must be directed against any similar combination in the future. No Decisive Bartzrz has yet been fought between the Turks and Servians, but the news from the seat of war this morn- ing indicates that such battle must soon take plac The fighting around Alexinatz has been of the most stubborn character, and General Tchernayeff has evidently made up his mind to make a supreme effort to hurl back the tide of Turkish invasion. But even if the reported repulse of the Turks should prove to be true the chances of Servian success appear to be desperate, as the Turkish superiority in numbers is so great as to render a victory to the Ottoman arms almost certain. The Significance of Methodist Re- union. The reunion of the two branches of Epis- copal Methodism, which have existed in this country for nearly thirty years, is the longest stride yet taken toward that complete recon- struction of which we have all been dream- ing ever since the close of tho war for the Union, When Methodism was divided in 1847 slavery agitation was the primary cause ; but the underlying cause, and in truth the real cause, was the fact that at that time the Union was already dissolved in the hearts of the Southern people. It was idle to talk of maintaining a Union of love when a body like Episcopal Methodism was split asunder on questions of national polity. Any allu- sion to this truism was earefully avoided in the bond of fraternization between the churches which has just been signed and published ; but it was scarcely necessary that the original cause of division should have been so tenderly handled. As the division of American Methodism was the most significant fact in our history previous to the rebellion so reunion is the most sig- nificant event since reconstruction. Division meant war; reunion means peace. The separation of the churches occurred because the hearts of the people North and South were estranged. Methodism hus come together again in one strong and power- ful body because sectional jealousies are breaking down. ‘This event means political, as well as Christian, fraternization. It is the surest sign which has yet been given that the Sonth ‘‘accepts the situation” and that the whole country is once more united in love for the Union. While the sections wero estranged in heart and feeling the sep- aration of the churches was a mere conse- quenco of that estrangement. Slavery agita- tion was only an incident of the division, and the disappearance of slavery in no sense ineant reunion. If the people of the South still refused to accept the results of the war, if they were still rebels, as so many dema- gogues assert, American Methodism would still be as divergent in 1876 as it was thirty years before. It was sectional jealousies and bickerings which led to ecclesiastical disunion. The separation of the churches only preceded the endeavor to separate the States. A breach in Methodism meant a breaking up of the Republic. Fraternization now means the reverse of all this, and shows how base and baseless are the charges of political adventurers, who would have us believe that the old spirit is still alive in the South. With these men, whether they are in the Senato of the United States or on the hustings, the wish is father to the thought. If the Southern people did not mean peace, political and social, this bond of fraternization never would have been sealed ; and it is because reunion means so much in its national and political aspects that this event has such great significance. Nor can we overlook the fact that it is this very significance which réflects peculiar lustro upon American Methodism and will make the Cape May Conference and its re- sults a turning point in our history. In the state of feeling which existed between 1840 and 1860 it was easy enough to divide the churches North and South. A very great change was necessary to make reunion possi- ble in 1876, and it must not be forgotten that this change is political, not religious, In taking this great step American Meth- odism has bound the Union of the States together by a bond which cannot be broken, for it has demonstrated that the hearts of the people are reconciled, and in consequence both the Christian and the patriot will rejoice in the work which has been accomplished. mr. The great prominence of Mr. George Will- iam Curtis in recent political movements makes him a conspicuous figure in American politics. He has been for twenty years or more a littérateur of some note; but none of his productions has attracted atten- tion in Europe, and, exeepting the “Potiphar Papers,” which gave a promise of satiric fiction which has not been fulfilled, nothing he has written has made much impression in his own country. Of late years he has abandoned literature for poli- tics, but the only political talent he has exhibited is the capacity to make pleasant speeches, which serve to amuse an audience, but lead to no practical result. It seems Curtis as a Politician. to be his peculiar gift to ride some hobby which falls down in its track before it reaches the goal. He mounted the civil service hobby with agreat flourish of the whip and display of plated spurs, but the steed fell dead on the course, and our literary knight thereupon began a quarrel with the administration. He went to the Cincinnati Convention as the champion of Mr. Bristow, and to the Sara- toga Convention as champion of Mr. Evarts ; but it somehow happens that every candidate whose cause Mr. Curtis espouses is deprived of an occasion to write a letter of thanks for successful advocacy. As was said of poor Goldsmith, he touched nothing which he did not adorn; but Mr. Curtis touches nothing which does not prove a failure. He was a member of the Constitutional Con- vention of 1865, but a member without influence, and of the various things he has attempted in politics none has suc- ceeded, He is an exquisite phrase-maker, but no politician. Mr. Curtis is a rhetorical rider of dead horses. He made his glow- ing speech in favor of Mr, Evarts as the republican candidate for Governor to an audience which knew that Mr. Evarts could not possibly be nominated, and al- though every word of the eulogy was ac- copted as true it had no more praatical effect than if it had been a eulogy on William Wirt or Patrick Henry. Mr. Curtis cannot be ranked as a statesman or a politician, bnt only as an elegant contributor to pnblic amusement. Tur Erwemic or Wire Beatixe continues, and to-day we publish another case, where a brute in human form kicked a woman sense- less for no other cause than that-she offered him a tart reply. Brutality of this kind is of the most cowardly stripe, and its proper See check and punishment would be the cat-o’+ nine-tails prescribed in liberal doses at the police courts, Governor Kellogg on she South, Asa political philosopher Governor Kel- logg, of Louisiana, is not a success. He talks like a republican Bunsby, and it is very hard to get an opinion out of him even as regards his own State. He speaks of the possibilities of terror- ism in Louisiana, but whether he thinks intimidation probable it is not easy to de- termine. If his chatter means anything it means this, that if Hayes is strong before the country the negroes will not be interfered with, if Tilden shall bo able to carry the popular sentiment then the blacks will be kept from the polls. With a republican administration in power at Washington and Kellogg himself Governor of Louisiana this is queer reasoning. Nobody can believe that the apparent chances of ao canvass would determine the action of the White Liners in Louisiana or anywhere else in the South. If intimidation is possible it is weakness in Governor Kellogg to talk about it in this uncertain way; if it is improbable he ought to say so instead of trying to conceal his meaning by meaningless phrases, On one point, however, he is explicit and outspoken, and, coming from the source it does, what he says is especially noteworthy. The Sonth does not want to break the Union now, the Governor tells us, no new rebellion is to be appre- hended, and the dream of a separate rule has been dissipaged. This is doubtless true, and Governor Kellogg deserves credit for the frankness with which he says it, but his consequent reasoning is not so praiseworthy, The South, he thinks, is going to stay in the Union in order to rule it; but he ought to remember that this is not such, a heinous ambition after all ifthe North and West and the two great political parties allow it, Putting his directness and his indirectness together, Governor Kel~ logg’s views in the Hrnarp this morn- ing are among the best things said in behalfof the South during this campaign; but the only way in which his opinions are likely to serve his party is by compelling the leaders to work all the harder to repair the damages inflicted upon it by his indiscre- tion. Govznnor Tu.pex’s Incomz Tax.—The brief despatch from Albany which we print elsewhere makes a pertinent suggestion in connection with the charge that Mr. Tilden did not give a correct statement of his taxa- ble income in 1862. A lawyer may earn his fees in one year but collect them in a subse quent year. His returns of income will, of course, include not his charges, but his re~ ceipts. This very simple consideration may reconcile the apparent discrepancies be- tween Mr. Tilden’s statement of his income in 1862 and his subsequent statement rex specting his legal fees in that year. He could not return his fees as income until they had “been paid, and the fact that they were earned in one year and paid in anothers seems a sufficient answer to the accusation, Onesrry has an annual apotheosis before an admiring world in the shape of a clam- bake.
