Wart Srreet Yesrerpay.—Stocks con- tinue to show depression and the influence of a strong bear movement. In Philadelphia an important decline in Reading stock is re- ported. Gold opened at 110, rose to 110 1-8, and closed at 1097-8. Government bonds wero generally firm and railway bonds barely steady. Money on call was quoted as heretofore. Recorper Hackert's sentence upon the Italian wretch whose revolting calling he fitly characterized should encourage the police to continue and complete the work of | thought. | Senator Gordon went up into New Hamp- rooting out such dens of infamy as that kept by the prisoner. Ir Sxrs that the Khedive of Egypt is about to be taught that if he thinks courts of law good for his subjects he must not ex- pect immunity from their decisions when they are against him or his personal estate. He is just civilized enough to think debts should be collected within his realms by le- gal process, but is not altogether educated up to paying his own or letting the courts make a collection. England and France have taken in hand the task of correcting his lamentably ill-balanced ethics, Sewarp’s Starvse.—The absence of Secre- tary Fish from the ceremonies at the unveil- ing of the statue to the late Secretary Seward in Madison square yesterday was regret- table, inasmch as what the present incum- | bent of the State Secretaryship would have had to say regarding his great predecessor would, on many accounts, have been deeply interesting. Atthe hands of Mr. Evarts, however, the great Secretary's memory re- ceived worthy treatment, and the tribute it was paid will, with perhaps a few non- essential abatements, form the judgment of history upon his career. Yzrurow Jacx.—There are signs of an abatement of this terrible epidemic in Geor- gia; at least the death rate is decreasing, and it is hoped that the disease will soon disap- pear. The fall in the temperature along the South Atlantic coast is exercis- ing a very beneficial influence, as it gives promise of a speedy recovery to con- valescents and reduces the probability of new cases occurring. If, by energetic efforts on the part of the authorities, the existing cases can be quarantined in a suitable hos- pital during the coming week, much may be done to arrest the disease, as the weather will be favorable for that purpose, Jupez Suorvort's Law.—It has just been decided in Rhode Island that o man who permitted the revenue authorities to assess his income and who paid the tax with the added penalty is still liable for a deficiency if his income was actually greater than the assessed sum upon which he paid the tax. This decision will perhaps induce Judge Sinnott of the Marine Court to revise his opinions on a certain part of the law, as they were expressed in his recent letter in regard to Mr. Tilden’s income. In that document Judge Sinnott, in his expla- nation of Mr. Tilden’s failure to make any income return in certain years, said that the law gave the citizen the ‘‘option” of making his own returns or permitting the authorities to make them. That the imposition of a penalty for a failure to do certain acts which the law commands constituted such omission an optional line of conduct was an odd theory at best, but it seems that the United States Cirenit Court has no faith whatever in that view of the law. Judge Sinnott himself must confess that it is o very bad option + shat works both ways. Plain Truth About the Southern States. It is reported that after the October elec- tions a considerable number of prominent republican speakers are to be sent into the Southern States to address the people there. This looks at first sight like an excellent and even a patriotic movement. It is always useful to bring the people of the different sections face to face. When they see each other they see that neither is as bad as the other Last year Colonel Lamar and shire to speak for the democratic party, and their presence drew large audiences of people curious to see these famous Southern men— just as, no doubt, Mr. Blaine, Mr. Schurz and Senator Morton would draw great crowds in the South to see them. But, aiter all, if we had to advise the repnblican leaders we should urge them to leave the Southern States unvisited during this canvass. Indeed, we should | gofurther and tell them that if they wero | wise they would give up every Southern State to the democrats for this election. The South has been a constant and increas- ing embarrassment to the republican party. The party has acted upon the superstition that it must somehow make and keep those States republican. They seem to it the | : é " cratic federal administration so serious as prize of war, to give up which is to give up the result of the war. We speak of this as a superstition, and it is nothing else. In reality the republican party would be far stronger to-day if it had had courage four years ago to cut adrift the Southern wing of the party and let the democrats assume the responsibility of the political settlement in those States. What harm could have come to the country? Not the least. The democratic party South is not composed of monsters and barbarians ; those Southern States which have, in spite of republican struggles and intrigues, become democratic are almost the only’ peaceful and prosperous ones; which proves sufficiently that the Southern democrat, thrown on his responsibility, seeks, as he must, to secure honest and lawful government for his’ State. He cannot help doing so, for he owns nearly all the property in his State and has a larger interest in its prosperity-than the republican by far. The credit of democratic Georgia is as good as | that of the federal government. Arkansas is peaceable and prosperous under demo- } cratic rule, while South Carolina and Lou- isiana ore unquiet and wretched under | republican control. Alabama, long thought j to be no better than Louisiana, became quiet as soon as the democrats gained the ascend- ancy. That is to say, the republican rule in tho Southern States has not been a success, but the contrary; and the failure has been caused mainly, if not altogether, by the fact that the so-called republicans of the Southern States have been the constant pets of the Northern republican politicians; they have been nursed and coddled; their qualities have not been questioned; their faults and crimes have been condoned; they have been bolstered up by extraneous forces; by federal troops and federal interference of various kinds. They’ have not ruled on their merits, or because they were abler, stronger, more capable men than their op- ponents, but because they were allowed to call for federal troops when they chose; to sell their support in Congress and in na- tional conventions for partisan and danger- ous legislation. intended to bolster up their continually failing influence in their seo- tion. They have played upon the humane fears and the ignorance of Northern repub- licans until their wretched and selfish mis- government in the South has brought the national republican party into disrepute and danger of defeat. And, after all, they who have done this are net republicans in any true sense. They are merely political ad- venturers, whom the honest and real repub- licans in their States dislike and fear with all their hearts. Whatever efforts the republican party makes in the South during the present can- vass will inure solely to the personal advantage of this class of men. What- ever success the party may secure down there by its efforts will be the gain of the Kelloggs, Packards, Spencers and Chamberlains. That is now unavoid- able, Thdse people have the machinery in their hands; they are the candidates for office, and they cling to office with a death grip. Reform in the South lies not in their further success, but in their utter and dis- organizing defeat, If the republican leaders of the North understood the Southern situa- tion those of them who are conscientious and patriotic men would shake off these Southern barnacles, and those who are not conscientious would still, for expediency’s sake, drop.these adventurers, whose alliance has been and must continue to be an embar- rassment to the national party. Suppose an honest republican speaker sent into any Southern State, except North Carolina, and what would he find? Unless he kept his ears stuffed with cotton and avoided all intercourse with men he could not help learning that every speech he made there was made in support of men no better than Tweed and his Ring; he would hear from the decent and honest republicans whom he would meet that they depiored nothing so much as the success of the persons for whom he was appeal- ing; he would find in Alabama that the real republicans of the State havo been either driven out of the party or silenced within it by Spencer and his gang of federal office-holders. He would find in Louisiana that honest republicans, though they vote for Hayes, refuse utterly to vote for Packard and his gang. He would find in Mississippi that honest republicans are abused and vilified by the thieves who have the machine there. He would find in South Carolina, in Florida, eve:ywhere, except in North Carolina and Virginia, that duty to his country and his party made it impossi- bie for him to take part in the canvass, and that if he spoke conscientiously he must ad- vise honest Southern republicans whilo vot- ing for the national ticket to support and help elect the democratic local ticket. The policy we suggest will be sconted | by republican purtisans ; but it is, neverthe- less, the true poliey for the party. It is the policy of prudence as well as wisdom. In the Southern tier of States—in South Caro- lina, Georgia, Alabama, Mississippi, Louisi- .a good licking.” ana, Arkansas—there is to-day no republican party worthy of the alliance of the national perty or in whose fortunes it can take part without injuring itself If Mr. Hayes is chosen President he ean, if he is wise and intelligent, as we believe him to be, easily form a respectable party there ; but he will have to begin by cutting adrift the so-called republican leaders in those States in a body and letting the infected wreck float away. Why is it not better policy in the repub- lican leaders to do this now, and thus relieve their chief of an embar- rassment? We can appreciate the feelings of those who urge that it would be better for the country, and better even for the Southern States, that the republicans should rule in the federal administration for another four years, especially with a President who seems to be in earnest about reforms, and who is said to understand the Southern situation. But if the condition of republican success in No- vember is the continued maintenance of such republican State governments as obtain in Louisiana and South Carolina, and of such so-called republican politicians as aim to rule in other Southern States, then we should unhesitatingly welcome a democratic victory; for there is no danger in a demo- the continued misrule of the South by dema- gogues calling themselves republicans and having the countenance of the federal ad- ministration. We advise the Northern re- publican leaders, therefore, to send no speakers to the South, unless it be to Virginia and North Carolina, and to let it be at once and frankly understood that they mean to cut loose from the Packards, Spencers and Chamberlains. The War in Europe. The report that Servia has refused to as- sent toan extension of the armistice and has resumed hostilities is credited to the London Standard, which is, in the peculiar ciroumstances of the case, a doubtful authority for news of that character. It would not be unpleasant for tho ministerial party in England if an event of this kind had really occurred; and sometimes when a desired event has not occurred it may be invented, and the Standard, from its sympathids with the party in power, would be the likely medium of a useful fiction. If a clamor as to Russian intrigue in Servia can be raised in England it may offset somewhat the popular indignation over the horrors in Bulgaria. It will be well, therefore, to wait for the repetition of this story on other authority. It appears from Lord Derby's address to a deputation that the government has no idea of calling a session of Parliament just now. He hints slyly at the notion that, as there is no especial occasion fora sossion in the practical con- duct of the foreign relations, the Ministry will not assemble the wisdom of the nation merely that its adversaries ‘may have a chance to turn itout. Indeed, His Lordship - assumes the famous position of Paddy Ma- loney in the story, ‘Paddy Maloney,” said his adversary, ‘‘come out here till I give you “Indade, then,” said Ma- loney, ‘I wouldn’t come out for two.” Indian Treatics. Against their will, in great part, the head men of the Sioux nation have finally signed the treaty by which they oblige themselves to give up the Black Hills—that is, to expa- triate themselves, to leave their homes, to go away forever from the country in which the younger generation was born and in which the old, with a common human at- tachment to familiar scenes, had hoped to rear their children. Without exception they mistrusted our good faith; but some, in whom amiable natures seemed to exist, were persuaded against their convictions; some, with primitive cunning and _ suspicion, signed lest others should gain an advantage at their expense; and many, with the notion that resistance was use- less, accepted the situation with bravado. The negotiation has been unusually fruitful in the crude and vigorous oratory of the savage, or rather, perhaps, as the case has attracted especial attention, that oratory has been more liberally reported than ever be- jore. The comparatively elaborate speech of Spotted Tail on this occasion, if accepted as an evidence of the capacity of the un- tutored intellect, will place the American savage foremost in the races of men. If the men who are capable of such efforts in their barbarous condition were also capable of civilization they would have no superiors anywhere, Finally, these men have signed that treaty with the plain declaration that the conditions laid down would induce them to sign willingly if they could believe that the conditions wotld be performed, but that their past experience induces them to doubt our promises. And the worst of this is that they are right, and that the conditions on which they have signed will not be kept as promised. Our faith with the Indian will be broken in this case as it has been always hithorto, and the reason is that we cannot keep it. It is the reproach of the American people that they cannot make or maintain a government that can honestly keep their simple promise. If wo agree to give the Indians a cow they will receive, perhaps, a goat. If we agree to give them a wagon “they may get a wheel- ‘arrow. If we promise them a rifle they will be fortunate to get a ramrod. For every President has many friends, and there are Secretaries of War and of the Interior, and Indian agents and contractors without number, and they must all have a dip out of the supplies on the way to the Indian, and the Indian may have what is left. omesinjiorasion Tus Wasnrnctay Dove.—Again that per- secuted innocent, General Babcock, is to walk from a court of justice an acqnitted man. The safe burglary case, like the whiskey case, despite the vigorous effort of the government to convict, falls to the ground, and Babcock triumphs. This time so plentiful is the supply of whitewash that Cook declares his client's character fully vin- dicated and his good name unstained, end Boss Shepherd pronounces him “as white as So ends the jndicial furee. But what says the army? Is this uhstained Washington dove regarded by his brother officers as o fitting person to wear the uni- form of the army of the United States? a dove.” An Early Answer Requested. They are putting an awkward question to some of the democratic candidates in Ohio and Indiana. It concerns Southern war claims, and our advice to democratic candi- dates for Congress, North, Soutt, East or West, 1s to make quick and frank reply whenever this question is put to them, as it doubtless will be. There are a good many silly and ignorant people in the South who imagine that when the democratic party gets its hands in the National Treasury it will rain larks down South, and they will only have to hold their mouths open to get their stomachs full. There is no notion down there of pay- ment for slaves or payment of the Con- federate debt. All that nonsense would be as vigorously opposed South as North. The slaveholders were but few in number, and the Confederate debt is not yet due—it was made payable six months after the acknowledgment of Confederate independ- ence, and you cannot sue on a note until it is past due. But there is a multitude of claims of a different kind, and a multi- tude of claimants who imagine that some time or other they will get something on these claims, and they look to the demo- | cratic party for their money. These claims are of this kind:—The Union armies marched over a very considerable part of the South- ern States ; they camped every night ; they cit down a tremendous amount of timber ; they burned a good many thousand miles of fence; they quartered themselves in the least uncomfortable places they could find, public and private build- ings; they took food and other supplies where they could find them, as is the custom of invading armies. In fact, they lived on the country, as was their proper right, be- cause the folly of the people had made it for the time an enemy’s country. Now a considerablo number of those who were thus forced to entertain and supply our armies have still the hope that they may get damages out of the government. Of course they are mistaken; they will never get a dol- lar, because the American people are nota set of idiots, But it is a question which the democrats had better get out of the way, now that it is raised. The fact that at the last session of Congress some bills suspi- ciously Jooking toward the payment of such claims were introduced by democrats in the House, and that they were not rejected but quietly laid over to the next session, gives the matter a practical importance; and we advise the democrats to say at once, publicly and positively, that they will not pay a cent. Sly Peter Cooper. Those people who imagine Mr, Peter Cooper, the greenback candidate for the Presidency, to be an ingenuous and simple- hearted youth who has suffered himself to be notninated only because he was too kind to refuse this gratification to his friends among the workingmen, are, we suspect, mistaken in their man. Mr. Cooper has not spent many years in active relations to our city politics for nothing. If he is as public spir- ited, as patriotic and as honest as Mr. Lincoln, he may yet turn ont to be as astute a poli- tician as the great war President. Shrewd- ness is not forbidden to the best men; ‘‘be ye therefore wise as serpents, and harmless as doves,” is the admonition, and if Mr. Cooper should quietly leave his competitors in the Presidential race to fight out a Kil- kenny cat battle, and should walk into the White House when they are both demol- ished, such of our readers as now laugh at the suggestion of his superior political astuteness would, no doubt, cease tu laugh. The republicans in Indiana maliciously assert that the Cooper movement is engi- neered and supported by Governor Tilden, out of o desire to draw away votes from the republican side. They say that Mr. Abram Hewitt is at the same time Governor Tilden’s .political manipulator and Mr, Cooper's son-in-law, and that he is managing not only Mr. Til- den’s canvass but that of Mr. Cooper also, Of course this is nonsense. Mr. Cooper is managing his own canvass; he knows that a clear majority of the present House of Rep- resentatives is for unlimited greenbacks; he does not mean to give himself the trouble of making a general canvass of the country. His shrewd policy isto carry one or two States, fling the election into the House, and thus make himself President by elimi- nating the other candidates. We warn the Tilden and Hayes politicians in time. There is danger ahead. Mr. Cooper is not a man to be trifled with. But we give no credit to the reports that Mr. Hewitt is managing both Mr. Cooper's and Mr. Tilden’s canvass, Mr. Hewitt has infirm health, and could not bear the strain. It is as much as he can do to conciliate John Kelly and tune up tho harmonious city democracy. Prospects. It is remarkablo that » general revival of trade should take place in the midst and heat of a Presidential canvass, when usually, even in good times, trade suffers and be- comes slack. If this business revival were felt only in the Eastern cities it might prop- erly be called one of the effects of the Cen- tennial Exhibition. But trade is awakening and confidence reviving sensibly West as well as East. St. Louis journals note a large increase of country buyers and a generally active trade. Chicago, Cincinnati and other Western cities report greater activity in trade than has been known since 1873. From New Orleans we hear that the new cotton crop coming into mar- ket has o marked effect upon business. New Engfand reports hopeful efforts toward establishing an export trade. Wool, which has been dull for a long time, finds sale again. The Pittsburg papers speak cheerfully, even of the iron trade, which has been the most depressed of" all. There are, it seems, indications of an im- ved and improving business in iron. What is now needed is caution on the part of manufacturers, If every ono rushes rashly into production we shall have markets glutted again, renewed stoppages, distress and confusion, The country produces now- adays more than it can consume. We must re-establish a foreign trade before we can work upon a sound basis, and ¢o do that we need some bad laws changed or repealed which now bar us out from the markets of the world, Our labor-saving machinery en- NEW YORK HERALD, THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 28, 1876.-TRIPLE SHERT. a ables us to produce at sucha rate that we must sell a surplus abroad or else be made to feel that American ingenuity, of which we have always boasted, is a curse to its Possessors, A Change of Heart. Weare pleased to see that Mr. John Kolly has undergone achange of heart. Influenced by the spirit of harmony and union which is in the eir he responds tothe soft wooings of the anti-Tammany leaders and opens his arms and his heart to those with whom he was only recently at bitter enmity. ‘Let dogs delight to bark and bite, for God hath made them so;” but John Kelly’s angry passions will not hereafter rise, nor will his hands in future tear the eyes of rival politi- cians. In his speech at the democratic ratification meeting on Tuesday evening he sang the praises of Tilden with almost as much energy as he used in denouncing the Governor at ‘St. Louis and Saratoga. ‘I know Mr. Tilden’s character well,” said Mr, John Kelly, “and I believe him to be a purely honest man in every respect.” But, John, if you know Til- den’s character so well, and if you believe him to be an honest man, why did you before his nomination publish column after column in a paper which you control to prove that he wasa rajlroad grabber, a dishonest trickster, a political cheat, a fraud- ulent pretender in the cause of reform? Why did you, at St. Louis, set on your dogs to bark at him os an impostor, o ‘‘fraud” and an unfit man forthe nomination? Why did you fight against every candidate at Sar- atoga who was known to be a friend of this “purely honest man?” We rejoice if you have really undergone a change of heart, and yet these things require an explanation. You were dishonest then, Mr. Kelly, in de- nouncing so vindictively a man you knew to be “purely honest,” or you are dishonest now, and only beslaver Mr. Tilden with praise because you intend to betray him at the polls and desire to cover up your tracks. The Silver Commission. The Silver Commission has completed its number by the selection of the three ‘ex- perts” provided for by Congress, The Com- missioners have, of course, opinions of their own, and so have the ‘‘experts,” and they may be arranged thus:—Senators Jones and Bogy, Representative Bland and Experts Dix and Groesbeck are silver men; Senator Boutwell and Expert Nourse are greenback men ; Representative Willard is an inquirer, not having made up his mind, and Repre- sentative Gibson isa gold man. It will be seen that silver is very strong in the com- mission aad gold very weak. The public will be surprised, by the way, to learn that General Dix and Mr. Groesbeck are experts on the question of the use of silver as cur- rency. The inquiries of the committee will be prosecuted here, and they have authority to ask the opinion of other experts, if they can find any. The question which will trouble them most will be on what terms to readmit silver to general circalation. Some of the members of the commission are said to believe that it ought to form the basis of all paper issues, but the rate or value at which it shall circulate or be used to guarantee circulation is what they will be puzzled to determine, unless, indeed, they accept Mr. Bland’s view, that the actual price of silver in the market has no more to do with the quantity of silver which shall go to a dollar than the price of printing paper has to do with the figures on a greenback. Tween's Rerogy.—A horrible fear disturbs the rest of some of our authorities, Tweed has been captured, and is on his way home on board a United States vessel of war. There is now no fear of his escape. ‘He can- not bribe his keepersand he cannot run away. He is too fat for asmall boat, and be- sides is not in condition fora long and strong pull. But he may commit suicide! The great Boss may actually jump into the water—to which he was never very partial in its natural stateo—and his avoirdupois may sink to the bottom of the Atlantic! This would indeed beacalamity. Think of the precious secrets that would be swallowed up in the waves with our “Twid!"” Reflect on the legal pickings which would be washed away with the body of the Boss! Im- agine what a rich feast for attor- neys, jailers and _ politicians would go to feed the fishes! Such a loss must not be risked ; so Tweed is to be kept under close confinement on the Franklin. We scarcely believe that these precautions are necessary. Tweod is too fat, too jolly and too full of precious secrets to seek a watery grave. He will come back alive, and then probably we shall hear what we shall hear. Tur Weatnen.—Yesterday we felt the in- fluence of the rising barometer that follows the rain area of Tuesday, in the strong wes- terly winds and decreasing cloudiness. The slight sprinkle of rain that fell in the forenoon only amounted to one-hundredth of an inch, and was followed by clear- ing weather and lower temperature than that of Tuesday. The barometrio fall within eight hours at Galveston yes- terday was two-hundredths and at In- dianola four-hundredths of an inch, indi- cating an approaching change of weather in the Southwest. Another decrease of press- ure within the samo time has taken place in the northwest, the barometer falling at Bis- marck, D. T., from 30.20 inches in the morning to 29.83 inches in the afternoon. This decrease has been also observed to the eastward as far os the lakes, and marks the adyance of another area of low pressure from that quarter. The track of this area will be southeastward from Dakota and probably over the lake region. A disturbance is also indicated in the East- ern Gulf, where the pressure has fallen and the wind has varied somewhat in direction and increased in velocity. To-day the weather in New York will be clear or partly cloudy and cool, growing warmer toward night, with a veering of the wind to the southwest. Centenntan Awarps.—Last evening thé awards of the judges of the Centennial Ex- hibition were promulgated in the Judges’ Hall, These awards have been watched for with the keenest anxiety by those having articles on exhibition, and will be conned with avidity. , nhieu Greenbacks at Albany. The chivalric leader of the greenback army has flung his banner to the breeze in the Empire State, and marches to battle bearing in advance the war emblem of @ griffin. This emblem has been happily chosen, The griffin was supposed in ancient times to watch over mines of gold and hidden treasure, and it will be the province of this particular griffin to soefaith- fully discharge this duty as to insure ua against any attempt of the resumptionista to drag the precious metal from its hiding places and substitute it for greenbacks. We are told that a griffin is a cross betweer lion and an eagle; that it has four legs, wings and a beak; and certainly the green- back party is well represented by such @ remarkable animal. It is a deformity which offends the sight and which finds no place, fortunately, among the objects with which our eyes are familiar. The resolutions of the venerable Peter Cooper's meeting were introduced by Mr, George O. Jones, of Albany renown, and were not well received. The branch of im dustry in which Mr. Jones is distinguished is different from that of the daily laborer, and, as no labor plank appeared in the plat form, some dissatisfaction was expressed by that element in the remarkable gathering. A delegate wanted Mr. Peter Cooper to make work for all who are unemployed as well ag paper money for all who have empty pockets ; but Chairman Jones was after moneyed core porations, railroads, banks and insurance companies, which pay much better than daily labor in a legislative session, and so the workingmen were snubbed. However, Mr. Peter Cooper's banner is to the front, and in the case of his State ticket there will be no fiasco, His candidates will stick and his colors are glued to the mast, How Mucu Fastzen?—Two years ago the horse Fellowcraft beat the best recorded time for four miles when he cut the figures down to seven minutes nineteen and a half seconds. Yesterday at Louis. ville the horse Ten Broeck went over his four miles in seven minutes fifteen and three-quarter seconds, bettering the pace by three and* three-quarter seconds, No wonder Professor Huxley praised the perfection of the recent horse.
