If the wide journeyings of the President within the last two months were junketing excursions, had they been undertaken for mere recreation or for vulgar personal ex- hibition, we should none the less have printed reports of them as part of the news of the day, but if we had deemed them worthy of comment it would have been rather in a tone of censure than of appro- bation. But, even in that case, we should have hesitated to accuse the President of neglecting his official duties. During the latter part of summer very little besides, routine is transacted in Washington, except when the country is at war, as it was through all of President Lincoln’s summers, or when there are grave complications in the foreign intercourse of the government. | Most of our early Presidents spent the hot months at their country seats in their own States, and although we had then neither railroads nor telegraphs the public business never suffered by their absence from the capital at that season of the year. General Grant passed more time out of Washington during the unhealthy scason than any other of our recent Presidents ; but he was quite as useful at Long Branch as he could have been in the White House. He was in easy communication with the Executive depart- ments by telegraph, and his faculties were clearer in the invigorating ocean air than they would have been in the miasmatic atmosphere of Washington during the dog days. It is ridiculous to complain of a President for preserving and recruiting his health for the severe duties of his station when Congress is in session, If he is to make excursions for intercourse with the people, the summer is the fitting time; if he does not wish to make excursions, he is | entitled to go to his farm, if he has one, or ; to some other healthful resort, if he prefers it, where, by aid of the telegraph, he can administer the government more efficiently thaa he could do in the unhealthy capital. A President who should make extensive tours merely to exhibit himself, court per- sonal compliments, would expose himself to criticism by his vanity ; but if he takes that method of instructing and influencing the | public mind it is a praiseworthy use of his | position. What is called free government is government by public opinion. The | highest function of the Chief Magistrate is not recommending measures to Congress, signing or vetoing bills and appointing men to office, but the guidance of public opinion. The difference between a Presi- dent like Jefferson and a President like Polk lay in the superior ability of the former to mould the public sentiment of his time. To be sure, Jefferson made no Presidential tours. He had no gifts as a popular orator and he affected to undervalue things in which he did not excel, Instead of making aspeech at the opening of each session of Congress, as his two predecessors had done, he pretended to think it an aping of roy- alty and set the example of sending a writ- ten message, Had he been an orator, like Adams, he would not have changed the usage. It was ‘or the same reason that he poured contempt on Presidential tours. Being no orator, he could not have utilized them for moulding and vivifying public senti- ment. But no President ever so well un- | derstood as Jefferson the importance of guiding public opinion. Impotent as an orator, but powerful with his pen, he pre- ferred to use the instrument of which he was so great a master. His public doc- uments were the aptest for influencing the public mind of‘any that have ever appeared, and his masterly pen was always busy in correspondence with men who possessed the gifts which he lacked. He controlled pub- lic opinion by -privately impressing his views on its mutural leaders, whereas had he been an orator he would have preferred to make direct appeals to the people them- selves and to have impressed upon them his own thoughts in his own incomparable way of presenting them. But ho had a keen appreciation of the necessity of captivating the popular mind, and employed the tools in the use of which he was most dexterous. Mr. Hayes equally understands that the success of a President depends on his ability to carry the public mind with him, and he wisely employs for this purpose such gifts as he possesses. Mr. Hayes is not a great orator, but he speaks fairly well, and he is doing a grand work indeed in the popular speeches which he delivers on his journeys, In his New England trip Mr. Hayes’ speeches had very little merit beyond their cordial sincerity. His humor, when he attempts to be humorous, is clumsy and sometimes grotesque, and, except as an evi- dence of his good nature and kindly feel- ing, it is better calculated to provoke ridi- cule than to inspire respect. But when he speaks seriously and earnestly, as he has so often done in the South, the unaffected generosity of his sentiments is fitted | to make a deep impression, Nothing could be better of its kind than his | day. be clear or partly cloudy and warm. speech at Atlanta, which we printed yester- It was pitched in the same key as all his New England speeches and all his other Southern speeches, but it was not marred by any expression inconsistent with the dig- | nity of his great office. Besides the lesser merits of pertect good taste and exquisite tact it was marked throughout by a justness | and generosity of sentiment whieh not only captivated his immediate hearers but will | command general approval. The excellence of this speech may be in part due to the admirable tone of Governor Colquitt’s address of welcome. No speaker ever hit the mark more exactly in the middle than the democratic Governor of Georgia did when he said to the I’resi- dent:—''Tho great moving cause of these hearty demonstrations which have greeted you since you reached Southern soil is to | be found in the generous confidence with which you believe what we say, and your magnanimous trust, which will not exact cringeing and servile guarantees,” Presi- dent Hayes has had the manliness to accept the professions of the South as sincere, and as confidence begets confidence the South trusts Lis sincerity as he has trusted theirs, The President is convinced that his confidence has not been misplaced, He told the colored people at At- lanta that they had never been so undisturbed in their rights as during the six months of the President's reliance | Tight. on the ‘soa faith of the Bouth:— “and now, my colored friends,” said he, ‘let me say another thing, We have been trying it for these six months, and, in my opinion, for no six months since the war have there been so few outrages and invasions of your rights, nor you so secure in your rights, persons and homes than in the last six months, (Great cheering).” No colored citizen in the whole South ean dispute the truth of this statement. The magnanimity of the President and his generous trust in the sincerity of Southern professions has done more to secure good treatment for the negroes than all the military coercion and terrorism of the preceding twelve years. It is no wonder that the President was willing to proclaim at Atlanta more explicitly and with stronger emphasis than he had eyer done before that he adopted his Southern policy for the one controlling reason that, after mature reflection, he believed it to be “Now, my friends,” the President said, ‘I see it stated occasionally that Presi- dent Hayes has taken the course he has be- cause he was compelled to it. (Voice—‘We don't believe it.’) Now, I was compelled to it. (Applause.) Iwas compelled to it by my sense of duty, under my oath of office. (Immense enthusiasm and cheers.) What was done by us was done not merely by force of special circumstances, but because we believe it was just and right to do it. | (Cheers.)” We are glad that the President B defends his policy on this broad ground, and thereby takes away from his party in the North all excuse for apologizing for it as a thing forced upon him by the failure of the [House to pass the Army Appropriation bill. The President scorns to descend to this imbecile, apologetic tone. Hoe would have pursued the same policy if he had possessed au- thority to pay and employ an army of a hundred thousand men. He did not adopt his Southern policy from a sense of com- pulsion, but from a sense of justice, and he | feels that the result thus far vindicates his wisdom. This noble declaration, made in the heart of the South, and the effect it is certain to produce on the Southern mind, removes the last doubt of the com- plete success of the policy. The Southern Senators will not permit the President to be obstructed by his | own party in pursuing an intention so honest, manly and patriotic. He could not ' have employed the week or two of time it has taken to better advantage than in making this Southorn journey, which will so strengthen him in public confidence that there will be no further opposition to his magnanimous policy. He is more useful to the South than Mr, Tilden could have been, because Mr. Tilden, instead of silenc- ing, would have intensified the republican opposition to such a policy, The inaugu- ration of Mr. Hayes was a very fortunate event for the Southern States, and the best public of that section so regard it. Stanley’s Undelayed Recognition, ‘ Sir Rutherford Alcock, President of the Royal Geographical Society, has sent a warm congratulatory telegram to Henry M. Stan- ley on his great success. Fortunate, indeed, is he who, having accomplished a great undertaking, is thus able to command im- mediate recognition from the most coveted sources, Apart from those who can only vindicate the reason of their existence by crooking themselves into perpetual notes of interrogation, or those who go everywhere prepared to scoff, even though they are forced to ‘‘remain to pray,” there are many well meaning, conservative souls of* whom Thomas Didymus was the type. To the former ‘a hinge or loop to hang a doubt on” is a godsend; to the latter it isa grave reason to withhold praise. The mod- j the expense of the right. It is pos- j sible that since the battle of the | 8lst of July showed what might be ern scientist is almost entirely of this class. It is not his cue to doubt, but to accord be- lief only when demonstration is perfect. Stanley, last heard from among the lakes and rivers of mid-Africa, emerges on the west coast at the mouth of the Congo, whither the best opinion of geograph- ers, reasoning by the process of ex- clusion, had believed that he who followed the course of the Lualaba would arrive. This is perfect demonstra- tion, and at once it meets the recognition of agreat traveller like Cameron and a great geographer like Sir Rutherford, with all that the official position of the latter carries with it. The road thus clear for the fuller details which may shortly be expected we are content to chronicle with pleasure the timely utterances of those best fitted to measure the importance of Stanley's exploit to science, to commerce, to humanity. Our brethren of the American press continue their appreciative nolices, and through them all we are glad to trace the idea that the triumph is one in which each of them has a veritable share. ‘ An Instalment of Dock Improvement. In accordance with the ordinance passed by the Board of Aldermen early in the sum- mer the Commissioner of Public Works, acting in connection with the Dock Depart- ment, is actively prosecuting the work of erecting gus lamps on the docks tor the purpose of lighting the docks and piers of the city. The ordinance contemplates sup- plying lamps on the North River side from the Battery to pier 34, and on the East | River side to pier 37, and already five piers on the North River and four on the Hast River are lighted, much to the satisfaction of the residents in tho vi- cinity. The improvement is a needed and useful one, and will, no doubt, be event- ually extended to the whole line of docks on both rivers. It is fortunate, too, that it is being made at a fair and reasonable ex- pense. Five lamps complete, with the con- nection, cost only one hundred and fifteen, dollars, and the charge for lighting will be less than twenty dollars a lamp for the year. If the work had been done a few years ago some persons would have mado fortunes out of it. to secure necessary public improvements without paying four or five hundred per | cent more than the work is worth the expen- diture will not be begrudged. But our docks and piers need something more than lighting with gas. Indeed, so far as their condition is concerned, it would be more to the credit of the city to leave Now that we are enabled | some of them in darkness. Their recon- struction would, no doubt, involve a large outlay, but if the Dock Department would display some energy and do the work in an honest, business-like manner, they would hear no gruinbling about the expense. The people complain, not that large amounts of money have been expended on the docks, but that the expenditure shows no adequate return, and leaves our docks and piers still a disgrace to the metropolis and a drag on the commerce of the port. The Fighting in Bulgaria. With desperate persistency Suleiman Pacha continues his efforts in the Shipka Pass, while with persistency that so far seems but slightly less desperate the Rus- sians continue to assail Plevna. Although the Turkish losses in the pass are not a mere waste of men, since they maintain a division of forces that weakens the advance against Osman Pacha, yet this tesult seems | dearly purchased at that price, for the soldiers killed in the fruitless Ottoman attempts to fight their way down that mountain road, while con- siderable by their number, are of far | more consequence in virtue of the fact that | they cannot be replaced. Vurkey, if not beaten otherwise by the Russians, can at least be beaten by the mere waste of war. Between these belligerents there is in re- spect to the population that may be drawn upon for troops somewhat the same relation that there was between the North and the South. Conscious that they had the mill- ions of the North behind them some of our generals put their soldiers into battle with a lavish disregard to all economy of life, while the South was surely to be ex- hausted by the repeated loss of the far smaller number it had killed in those battles. Although they come forward slowly there are men on the march to replace all the Russian losses, But it is not so as to the other side, and hence the assaults of the Russian position in the pass are after all foolish butcheries, There is just as much butchery before Plevna, but it is more sys- tematic, and the assaults there, also, un- doubtedly inflict severe losses on the Otto- man army. If the Turkish operations in the pass are unaccountable the Turkish inactivity at other points is not less so, Mehemet Ali's failure to take advantage of the weakening of the Russian left wing 1s incomprehensible, or | is to be explained only upon the hypothesis that he is himself far feebler than has been thought. Indeed, this reason for supposing his numbers inferior to what they were re- ported, taken in connection with the unex- pected strength of Osman Pacha at Plevna, suggests the likelihood that the Turkish left has been enormously strengthened at accomplished by making the most of the position on the Russian right a great por- tion of Mehemet Ali’s troops have been sent by way of Adrianople and Sofia into Osman Pacha's lines. There has been no report of such a movement, but the Turks are able to suppress what they do not wish to have made public, so that that fact is of little value as an objection in their case. If the whole of the Turkish army in Europe is really in Osman Pacha's lines and a mere ; curtain in front of the Czarewitch, of | course the apprehensions that have been { felt in regard to the position at Biela have been misplaced. The announcement that only asmall force was engaged on either side in the engagements of Thursday and Friday last and that both days’ fighting re- sulted in drawn battles causes the interest toagain centre about Plevna. Especially | will such be the case if Chafvet Pacha and twenty thousand men have been added to the already large force of Osman Pacha. The Republican State Convention. The chief interest in the State Conven- tion, which is to assemble at Rochester day after to-morrow, turns upon the purposes of Senator Conkling. His attitude toward President Hayes is an enigma, but, in spite of his stubborn personal silence, there is a widely diffused impression that he is hostile to the administration, We suspect that it will be found that there has been a great deal of exaggeration on this subject. Mr. Conkling is a proud man, and a very re- served man in matters which touch his pride; and his resolute silence since his return from Europe may have been misinterpreted by the public. The policy of President Hayes is really very popular, but in spite of Senator’s Conkling’s sup- posed opposition to it his friends have suc- ceeded in electing a majority of the dele- gates to the Republican State Convention. Vhis is a signal proof of Mr, Conkling’s un- diminished influence in the republican party of his own State. It is certain that he will be able to control the State Convention and mould it to his wishes, but it would be an unwarranted inference to suppose that he wili put it into open opposition, or even into covert opposition, to the President. He is too sagacious a politician to do anything of the kind, His ac- knowledged triumph ‘in the election of delegates is a suflicient proof ot his power—a sufficient proof that no rival has been able to eclipse or supplant him in the confidence of his party in this State. Hav- ing demonstrated his continued influence and ascendancy over the New York repub- licans he will doubtless make a discreet use of his power. He is a delegate himself and will be elected as the presiding officer if he consents to take the position. We have no doubt that he will consent, because there could be no more conspicuous proof that his leadership is unshaken. When he has received this mark of confidence, when it is thus advertised to Mr. Hayes that the distinguished New York Senator con- tinues to hold his old position, he will make concessions which will be more valuable by the fact that they are voluntary. Every generous motive and every selfish motive will impel him to treat the Presi- dent with respectful consideration, With power to control the Convention he cannot afford to so control it as to lose the State in the election. To be sure the State may be lost to the republicans in any event ; but if Mr. Conkling puts the State Convention in opposition to the President the defeat will party can peti in this State only ria compact unity, and unity is possible only on a platform which indorses the President. Mr. Conkling must perceive this more clearly than anybody can tell it to him. His personal influence being fully vindicated by his control of the Con- vention and his election as its president he will wisely exert his control in such a way as to carry the election if possible, and, if that be impossible, in such a way as to give no color to a charge that the State was lost by his hostility to the republican adminis- tration, Mr. Conkling knows well enough that military coercion of the South is an obsolete question, and he is not the kind of politician to ride a dead horse. He will not even put the Convention in opposition to the President on the civil service issue. His friends are still in office, and he will be better able to protect them if he indorses Mr. Hayes than if he permits a declaration of hostility. We incline to think that Sen- ator Conkling’s success in the election of delegates insures harmony and good feeling in the action of the State Convention. Le Verrier’s Death. Seldom has the scientific world had cause to mourn the loss of a brighter ornament than Le Verrier. His whole life was buta series of triumphs in the most advanced branches of human knowledge and in those, mysterious fields of research in which it is given to but few men to enter, but where all the trophies won are precious. We feel that in Le Verricr’s death the Herp has lost an appreciative friend, who took a deep inter- est in a work to which we have devoted our “labors. We refer to the Henaxp weather ser- vice, which early attracted the attention of the famous scientist. In an interview with M. Le Verrier at the Paris Observatory on the 13th of April, this year, our representa- tive was requested to convey to us the as- surance of the sayant’s desire to embody in his new work on meteorology a descriptive memoir of the Heranp system. ‘This it afforded us great pleasure to furnish, We feel we can claim the right to mourn for the dead man with more than a mere admirer's sorrow, and add a tribute to his memory |. which springs from a deep admiration for his great and good qualities as a scientist and a citizen, PERSONAL INTELLIGENCE.
