The necessity of taking vigorous and resolute policy seems to be clear to all who look with kindness upon the new adminis- tration, And who does not look kindly upon it? A few of the discontented carpet-bag barons of the republican party pout and fret and swear revenge, even as did the lead- ers of old feudal France when Richelieu made his new departure and resolved that the Kingdom should have no king but the King. ‘That was the beginning of the great- ness of France. And it may be that the greatness of our country will date from the intrepid Chief Magistrate who, in the inter- est of his country, was brave enongh to defy the very men to whom he owed his power. The policy of President Hayes will only reach its fruition when he lays down a creed for a new party and calls around him as his Cabinet new men. He is opposed by Blaine and the fanatical republicans, Let him seek the aid of patriotic republicans, We can understand why the Camerons, the Butlers and the Blaines will resent the course of the President. They feel that the President is the child of their begetting; that he sprang from their loins; that he owes them filial duty and respect. Under the or- dinary conditions of political life this resent- ment would be natural. In all representa- tive governments party discipline and party honors are respected. If Lord Hartington came into power to-morrow he would seek the aid of Bright and Lowe and Forster. Tho accession of Disraeli means the acces- sion of Derby and Hardy and Northcote. When Polk became President every one knew it meant the elevation of Marcy and Buchanan and Walker. When Lin- coln took office he culled to his side the gentlemen who had been his rivals for the nomination to the Presidency. He sought the aid of the party leaders. Grant had a military idea about a Cabinet as a staff, and the persistence with which he clung to it injured his administration. According to the precedents of legislative government the natural Cabinet for Hayes would have been Bristow and Conkling, Morton and Blaine. These were his rivals in the Con- vention. These were the leaders of the party. If any one of them had been nomi- nated and elected Hayes would have ex- pected a summons to the Cabinet. In point of ability, eloquence, political force and ex- perience in public affairs we do not think that any even of the flatterers of the Presi- dent would call him the equal of Morton, Conkling or Blaine. To throw aside these men was a revolutionary and dangerous step—one that could only be defended upon the highest grounds of duty to the nation, We think the course of the President de- fensible upon the very highest grounds. We do not care much about the cries of the reformers-~their defamation of men whose only offence is, if the truth were known, that they are in office. The Bristow reform movement which ran for a few weeks last summer was a good deal like the Dntch tulip mania, and camo to as ludicrous an end, The reformers ran after Bristow as though he were a witch who could reform the country by riding over it on a broom, It was a movement without a head ora tail—a few sentimentalists and transcen- dentalists running mad after one of the lightest and most frivolous experiments in public life. If Mr. Hayes had made his administration an echo of this absurd affair ho would have shown a lamentable want of judgment. But he saw that the Bristow movement was a straw showing the direction ofthe wind—that the time had come to take a new departure. He must either become the creature of a Senatorial ring, pulled this way by Blaine and the fanatical republicans, and the other way by Conkling and the patriotic republicans, or assert himself and be President. He saw that the republican party was dead ; that the fanatics had killed it ; that the party of Lin- coln and Seward and Chase was now leased out to a knot of adventurers who commanded the Senate and meant to command the coun- try. He saw that new issues were taking shape. He saw that the country was weary of the Southern question ; weary of these cries of war in a time of peace ; weary of the drum-beats and the marching of armed men. He saw that both parties were corrupt, cankered, rotten. He saw that behind these parties was a vast, pious, patriotic public opinion, anxious to find political expression. This pub- lic opinion did not want the democratic party because of its disloyalty during the war, its corruptions in New York, its here- sies on finance. It did not want the fanat- ical republican party because of corruptions in Washington, because of failures in the South and civil service reform. The new President put himself at the head of this opinion and said as he now says to the country:—‘‘I propose to give you a high minded, honest, thoroughly American ad- ministration, and I call upon all men, with- out regard to party—upon you, Messrs. Conkling and Edmunds and Hoar, upon you, Messrs. Lamar and Hendricks and Gordon to support me, and bring once more to the country an era of peace and good feeling.” No President ever set out on his work with fairer prospects. But his work is not over. He must create his party. He must destroy the leaders of the republican cabal in the Senate or they will destroy him. All is quiet now; but wait until Congress meets or we have the autumn con- ventions, The way to diminish their power is to call into life an enthusiastic public opinion, as Jefferson did ; to organ- ize it ; to call new men into authority. can only do this by answering in the best sense the hopes of the country. Above all things he must pacify the South. Then he must take ground on the financial and tariff question. Here, as business revives, will be found the crucial test of his success. Once the South is ont of the way, and we shall have to deal with specie payments and free trade. There is a strong feeling in the West against specie payments, in favor of inflation. This must be watched and, if necessary, assailed as a heresy and a crime, There is a growing sentiment in favor of free trade. We see it all over the world, in England and France and Germany, and it presses upon us in the United States, On He | this question the President can rally around him a party that will give him an intelli- gent, conscientious support, Let him do away with all tariffs except those necessary for revenue. We have a large debt, an expensive government, and wecannot think, especially with the continued depression in business, of general and direct taxation. Therefore so far as o tariff is a means of revenue we must respect it. But let us do away with every vestige of the old protec- tive spirit ; with duties upon iron and salt, upon coal and lumber, upon paper and books, upon nineteen twentieths of the arti- cles on our list—duties that offend and annoy the peopleand eat up their substance. Peace and administrative reform in the South; peace and civil service reform in the government; peace and revenue reform in the finances—these are the cardinal points of the new administration, the lines of new departure. Let the President summon the country on these issues. Let him defy the party leaders—especially the republican fanatics—to do their worst. Let him ap- peal to the patriotism of good democrats and good republicans, and when we havea new Congress and the autumn conventions there will be a public opinion in fa- vor of Hayes as irresistible as that which surrounded Lincoln during the war and sustained him through every trial—a public opinion before which the proudest baron in the republican party must bend or | break. But Pesident Hayes can lose no | time in proclaiming and effecting this pur- pose. He must go on. He stands at the parting of the waters. He may give usa Tyler administration or a Jefferson adminis- tration. But he must not hesitate. He has thrown aside the republicans. The demo- crats do not want him. Let him create a new party, representating the best elements of both, and he will not only go out of power with as great a fame as that of Jeffor- son, but, like Jefferson, dominate the politi- cal thought and action of the country for another generation. The Man Who Laughs. If the genial official who presides over the Police Department is not efficient in the dis- charge of his duties in the matter of street cleaning he is at least funny about them. This is a big thing evenif the dirt is a bigger one, and the chasm into which the street cleaning appropriation is dumped is the biggest of its kind. Artemus Ward's kangaroo was, according to his owner's account, ‘an amoosin’ little cus” and per- formed very diverting antics, but he by no means exhausted ali the possibilities for provoking laughter. Men who have a lively appreciation of the ridiculous are more common among us than we suppose, and are easily made to laugh, no matter how solemn or sacred the sub- ject. To draw the line between what should be laughed at and what should cause grief and confusion is a very difficult matter. A Western settler once returned to his home and found his dwelling burned, his wife scalped and his baby brained. In the excess of his grief and horror he ex- claimed, ‘This is too ridieulous!” Such a remark serves to illustrate how a man will associate the terrible with the absurd, even when he suffers himself. Now, turning to the case of dirt-besmeared New York, with its daily and increasing contributions to the suburban cemeteries, we can almost hear President Smith exclaim that it is ‘too ridiculous.” The mere fact that the city is very dirty he regards as decidedly funny, and laughs heartily at the idea of cleaning the streets ata cost of only three quarters ofa million dollars per annum: Among his best jokes, which we publish on another page of to-day’s Hrnatp, are that ‘‘ the very highest sanitary authority in New York” is ‘Professor Chandler;” that cremation “might make lime cheap and dirt dear,” and that ‘‘with eight or ten good scows, good dumping places and eight hundred and fifty thousaid dollars a year” some- thing could be done. These witticisms are enough to make anybody laugh, and who, therefore, can blame Com- missioner Nichols for losing his gravity when they were uttered? Perhaps Presi- dent Smith can tell us, when he stops laugh- ing, why he does not give the city three- quarters of a million dollars’ worth of street cleaning as it is. That odd hundred thou- sand dollars’ worth we will not mind for the present, but will be more than satisfied with the good work the present appropria- tion can secure. Be generous, O most facetious of Police Presidents! and allow your fellow citizens to share your hilarity, for they are literally in the dumps just now. An Important Cow Case. In another column will be found a com- munication of public interest from Mr, Bergh, President of the Society for the Pro- vention of Cruelty to Animals, in which he gives a history, with notes, of his nominal victory, but real defeat, in a case in which he endeavored to secure the punishment of one of the keepers of garbage-fed cows, Mr. Solon Shingle, it may be remembered, was of the opinion that the most important point in a cow case was to have the right kind of a lawyer. Without due attention | given to that point all else, he thought, was vanity. If Mr. Bergh has not overlooked that requirement of litigation we are sure that he has done nearly all that humanity is equal to in this connection ;' for that his case against the cow keeper was just, that the cow keeper should have been severely punished, and that his escape is areproach to our criminal system—of all this there can be no doubt whatever and searcely two opinions among fair-minded men. Mr. Bergh, directing the energies of his society in what is indisputably its proper function, as in this case, has our sympathies, and, we doubt not, the sympa- thies of the whole public, and we regret that his efforts so directed should fail; but, and we say it kindly, we are not surprised that they do. If Mr. Bergh will incline his ear this way we will whisper into it what we be- lieve to be the reason, That reason is to be | found in the direction of some warnings we have hitherto given. His mistaken, not to | say ridiculous, applications of the law to that it can only reach by a stretch of author- } good cause. He has provoked the points it was never intended to reach and | ity have done harm to his cause, as a fool- | diag: ish advocacy is apt to do to every | mimic art to be acquired by training in the hostility of all who were previously indifferent; he has alienated many who were with him in sentiment ; he has put a benevolent and generous charity before the world in the attitude of an ill-willed, can- tankerous machinery fox interfering with many legitimate pursuits on points of cru- elty that were merely matters of opinion. Consequently the public has lost faith and turned away its face, and does not sustain him against the rough ones with whom he must necessarily deal. Yet we trust he will not give up on the cow cases. It would be more legitimate for the Board of Health to pursue this evil ; but there is no hope of any advantage to the public from that source, and we trust, therefore, that Mr. Bergh will persist in this direction. William M. Tweed’s Confession. That Tweed has, with the assistance of Mr. Townsend, his counsel, prepared@a writing of considerable length in the nature of a confession, and that this document was day before yesterday taken to Albany and submitted to Attorney General Fairchild for -his examination, are facts of which there is authentic evidence, and this much was printed in all the city journals yesterday morning. One journal also printed what purported to be a synopsis of the con- fession, which crented quite a sensation by its mention of names and recapitulation of specific charges against individuals impli- cated by Tweed as accomplices. Whether the confession has been read by the person who prepared the sketch of its contents or whether he gave as facts what are merely his own conjectures are questions on which the public can form no judgment on first read- ing the synopsis, because the public was in possession of no evidence. It seemed im- probable that either Mr. Townsend or the Attorney General would submit the docu- ment to the inspection of a newspaper reporter at this stage of the transaction, or that if either of them disclosed that part of its contents which affects the reputation of individuals they would show favoritism to the reporter of a particular journal. It seemed more likely that some enterprising, inventive Bohemian had grafted on the ascertained fact of a written confession his own guesses as to its contents; and it is possible that he had some advantages for guessing shrewdly in particular instances. But this is too slender a basis for assailing the reputations of citizens. Not- withstanding many probabilities against the accuracy of the synopsis, the interest it excited made it our duty to investigate it, and the result of our inquiries is that it was a deliberate imposition on public credulity, fabricated out of scraps of gossip which have been floating about in certain circles for several weeks, and some of them for many months. The concocter of the sy- nopsis had no knowledge of the contents of the confession derived either from actual perusal or from authentic communication by any person qualified to speak. Among the men interviewed are a large number of the accused, and their denials would be taken with some abatement if the charges against them were really known to be made in the confession, although Tweed’s unsupported statements should have no great weight as evidence. But some of the most important contradictions are not made by interested parties. The libellous charge against Judge Folger is sct at rest by Attor- ney General Fairchild, who states that the confession contains nothing of the kind. The charge against Mr. Prince is refuted by Tweed himself, who knows better than any- body else what he has actually written. Now these denials, coming from such sources, prove conclusively that the pre- tended synopsis is mere guesswork and invention. It asserts that things are con- tained in the confession which we know by authentic evidence are not there. We also know by the statements of Mr. Townsend and the Attorney General that they have been scrupulously careful not to divulge the contents of the document. It is need- less to comment on the depravity of spread- ing such charges and cruelly calumniating individuals without any other foundation than mere conjectures respecting the con- tents of a paper of which the authors of the fabrication had no real knowledge. Miss Dickinson's Troubles. Sudden collapse has come upon Miss Anna Dickinson’s dramatic venture at the Eagle Theatre, and there are different opinions as to the reasons therefor. Miss Dickinson’s own opinions on the subject will be found over her signature in another column. She ‘says that ‘seven pieces of scenery” which should have been supplied were wanting; that the furniture was not properly upholstered ; that the theatre was short of properties and had no drapery. These accusations seem to imply an opinion on the lady’s part that some theatrical acces- sories are necessary to the successful per- formance of a play; crude theory that stupendous personal superiority and oceans of genius are not all sufficient in such cases. Here was a theatre filled with Anna Dickinson’s talent but poorly supplied with properties, and the prepos- terous notion finds place that the failure was due to that pitifal absence of proper- ties. Can this be a true theory? Is,the merely theatrical clement of such over- whelming importance? If this be a correct view it seems to us that the lady is thrust by her own logic to the position that the presence of an actress in the leading part in the play would itself be of some con- sequence, and that the absence of such an important feature might be of even greater moment than the absence of a few proper- ties or than a little defective upholstery. We diffidently hint this, with the hope that it may not provoke a scoiding match at our expense. Miss Dickinson's dramatic ex- perience has reached an important phase, She has tried the stage and failed, and she will not recognize the real cause of failure. She scolds the newspapers and scolds the managers as the mortal enemies of her tran- quillity, merely because the public will not come out to hear a dull lecture on English history which she fancies is a play because the narrative is broken up in the form of dialogue. Let her theretore scold the pub- lic for staying away, and then consider a little whether there is not such a thing as RK HERALD, WEDNESDAY, APRIL 18, 1877—TRIPLE SHEET. where, and, even then, only to be acquired where there is natural adaptation. If she as- sents that there is, she may well doubt whether this adaptation exists in a mind that has required painful experience to de- monstrate to it the mere existence of this art. Preliminaries in the East. Possible operations of armies fill now nearly the same space in the despatches that was filled a few days since with the possible schemes of the diplomatists. Dip- lomatic speculations are displaced aslto- gether, or have fallen into the ridiculous vein of the story which attributes to the Sultan’s advisers a plan for yet preserving the pence by carrying out the protocol with a change of characters. The Emperor of Russia is to declare that he will disarm and send an ambassador to Constantinople to treat of disarmament. This proposition, first made with regard to Turkey, was spurned by her as an indignity; and yet the Turks seem to fancy that it is a very natural proposition to make to Russia, This would be scarcely called a diplomatic poposition in any other country than Turkey. Rumor seems still concerned in different capitals with the re- port now several times repeated that the Turks will cross’ the Danube at Widin to hold a strategic point on the northern side. If this is part of a scheme of Turkish mili- tary operations how did it become so gen- erally known? Ottoman folly is to be ex- pected and is credible in almost any form it may assume; yet it would certainly be a monstrously ill-advised act for the Turks by the invasion of Roumania to anticipate the Russians in making that country the first theatre of war and thus to excite against themselves a bad feeling in Germany. To do this without even the equivalent of putting a feather in the way of the Russian advance seems incredible stu- pidity; for the supposition that the passage of the Danube can be pre- vented or delayed is idle. Russia is cred- ited with plans of quite another sort as to their intelligence. The intention to make Armenia the scene of her first important operations, and thus at once carry the war into the enemy's country, is attributed to her and is a military conception that has the merit of striking at a vital point—if there is one in the Turkish Empire. To display sufficient Russian activity on the Danube to detain there the main Turkish army while a large Russian force moves through Asia Minor will be to give the Czar the full advantage of the numerical supe- riority of his forces. More Military Tyranny One hundred thousand Tichborne men, the cable assures us, want to know the rea- son why the British Parliament does not come to the rescue, set aside the verdict and sentence, open the doors of Millbank Prison and give Sir Roger Arthur Orton Tichborne his liberty. In order that they may know this they propose to ‘‘escort” a petition to the neighborhood of the House of Commons, and the government has consequently taken the wise precaution to have handy and within call all the troops stationed in and near London. It is set down in the chronicle that this number of one hundred thousand Tichborne men is exclusive of the Kenealy division of the. Tichborne party, which perhaps numbers a hundred thousand more. This seems a large number of persons to be the victims of a delusion so shallow; but when was the world without the spectacle of shallow delusions accepted earnestly by at leastasmapy? All England has heard of the Tichborne case, and all who have heard have formed opin- ions one way or the other. Consequently the English people are divided into Tich- bornites and anti-‘l'ichbornites, and the day has not yet come when hundreds of thou- sands of men cannot be rallied for any side whatever on which it can be said there is of impudence to say it. There are also, no doubt, a hundred thousand men in London of “the dangerous classes” who would util- iz2 any opportunity to plunder shops or houses, and these may give the Tichborne demonstration a practical aspect.

THE RUSSO-TURKISH CRISIS, No Further Talk About an Ani- cable Adjustment, “COURAGE, RUSSIA, AND----FORWARD.” Outline of a Circular Which May Have Two Readings. FRANCE’S RELATIONS WITH GERMANY. [PY caBLE To THE HERALD.] Loxpow, April 18, 1877. There are grounds for belioving that the idea exists of making the eighth article of the Treaty of Paris a starting point for fresh mnogotiations. The idem is now taken up by England and broucht fore ward at St, Potersburg; bat it soems as if the cra of negotiations is there regarded as closed. Sanguine people may still derive some hope from this uncompromising attitude, so ostentatiously displayed, but Russia bas all along shown her un- varying purpose to set aside, or, at any rate, to ignore the very existence of the Treaty of Paris, Still, she will not care to raise a discussion on the point how far its stipulations may ve deomed valid, knowing such discussion might perhaps bring her into opposition with one or more of the other Powers beside Turkey. As the Czar’s arrival at Kischeneff is only announced for the 22d inat, it ie supposed His Majosty will stop at Moscow, He may uso his stay there to make another declaration or possibly issue the expected manifesto therefrom, The intelligence of tho movemont of the Russianarmy is confirmed on many sides. It is believed in welle informed circles that not much time will be lost is crossing into Roumania, Such a movement may be made simultaneously witb or pervaps before the regular declaration of war so that the movement would have the character of a menace. This would be following the precedent of 1853. The Turks way not be disposed to allow such occupation to pass over in silence, for trustworthy information indicates that they mean to consider the crossing of the Pruth a declaration of war, and intend crossing at the same time into Roumavia at Kalatat, Nikopol: and Olmentha, and between Tults- cha and Hirchova. Roumania is preparing to resist by mobilizing ber whole army. One great difficulty stands in her way—want of money. Her only resource re. maining {8 to issue paper monoy uni convention, which will now probably be concluded with Russia, provides for this want, WHAT 18 THE NEXT MovB? The arrival ot tho Czarin tho camp is likely to be followed by a pause, which, if it does not pro- duce a compromise, will probably be succeded by crossing the Pruth witnout attempting to cross the Danube, No actual fighting must be ane ticipated in the immediate future unless provoked by the Turks, Two hundred thousand German colonisté in Southern Rassia intend to emigrate to Brazil and other parts of America to avoid draft into the army The emigration has already begun. TURKEY STILL DEFIANT. According to a despatch from Constantino,‘ it hag been decided that tho Turkish Cabinet sbal{ meet daily to deliberate on tho situation. It i¢ reported that on the outbreak of war Ruse sian subjects will be expelled form Turkey. An officiat communication contradicts the state- ment that the Turkish government conteme plated proclaiming a state of siege in Cone stantinople or any other place in the Em pire. It is reported in the Tarkish capital that Colonel Valentine Baker’s appointment to the command of ¢ brigade has been cancelled on recommendation of Redil Pacha, who declares European officers are not needed.

NO MORE NEGOTIATIONS, Two days ago news came of an intention to make ay appeal to the eighth article of the Treaty of Paria, which stipulates that in case of differenco between any of the Powers and Turkey mediation by the other Powers should be tried before taking active steps, The idea was put forward by the French Cabinet, but found go little encouragement that it has been dropped, Nothing is heard of turther negotiations from any other side, From Constantinople alone comes a new plan, It is that the Czar should deciare that ho will disarm, and then send to the Porte an Ambassador, who could, in these circumstances, excrcise somo pressure to make Turkey disarm—although it secms almost likea travesty of the Russian declaration, THE QUESTION OF ROUMANIA’S NEUTRALITY, Tho large concentration of Turkish troops .at Widin has caused considerablo commotion in Roumania, A Cabinet council has determined to increase the force stationed at Kalcfat so a8 to resist the descent of the Turks on the Roumanian sid Roumauia has also laid its apprehensions before the Powers, repeating the assurance that it meant to keep neutral, which it could only do so long as Roumania was not made the theatro of war, The recent nomination of Cogoinitshano to tho Ministry of Foreign Affaire of Roumania will not tend to romove the diMeultics between Turkey and Roumania, and the po- sition of affairs is such that dificultios must needs arise. An absolute rule not to operate on the Rouma- nian side is one the Turks cannot submit to. Politically this would be an admission that Roumania ts no longer apartof the Turkish Empire, whilo from a military pornt of view it would ke according immense advantage to the Russian over the Turkish army. Its firs would ve to make the Turkish floulla useless, as every sbot fired on tho Roumanian bank would constitute a violation of Roumanian territory. Nevertheloss the Turks would be ill advised if they provoked, at the very beginning of the war, a collision with Roumsnia by occupying Kalatat The occupation of Kalatat by the Turks for any purpose would be a waste of strength, and would compromise the success of the campaign, THK RUSSIAN PLAN OF ADVANCE. Tho shortest and cusiest line of Russian operations is In the first Instance at least through the southern portions of Bessarabia to Ismail and Taltsoba, where three arms of the Danube branch off. All that is as- certained of Rassian movements shows that they con. template crossing ther Now, this point 1s 300 Eng- lish miles from Kalatat, so that a flank movement as that distance would be laughed at. Even if the Kus. siaus crossed at Silestria or Rustcbak this is 160 miles trom Kalafat and beyond flanking range, at any rate ot a Turkish army moving in a hostile country and risking coilision with Roumania, which conld increase the Russian army by 50,000 mea. Special despatches from Constantinopie fix Thursday next as the day of the probable embarka- tion of the Russian Embassy. According to present | arrangements the Czar will set out for Kiseheneff on Wednesday evening. A despatch from Bucharest ro. ports that the movement of the Russian army from Kischenef! toward Ungheni has made considerable progress, The troops at the points of concentration near the Roumabian frontior are being continually re. inforced, aud troops trom the interior are filling the positions vacated by those going to the front, A SEMI-OPPICIAL RUSSIAN CIRCULAR. The following from St. Petersburg, though no state. ment to that effect accompanies it, Is probably a fore. cast of a circular which itis expected Rugsta will send 10 the Powers, notilying them of the commencement of hostivities : Tho Czar leaves for the army immodiately. Ho will con himself to inspecting the troops and will not take part inthe campaign, Tho order of the day ane
