Mr. Tilden gave, a few years since, an ac- curate and adequate definition of a healthy political party when he said that it consists of an association of citizens ‘‘who think the same things concerning the Republic,” by which he of course meant sameness of view respecting pending questions of im- mediate urgency. Parties cannot stand long on obsolete questions or spent issues, No political party can be efficient which does not consist of men who think alike and act in concert on the live issues of the period, Judged by this standard we aro at present destitute of any well-compacted po- litical parties in this country, Our parties may think alike on past questions, but they have no unity of sentiment on present questions, We have, therefore, no real parties, no honest and genuine parties, but only humbug parties—that is, shams. ‘Yhis truth is brought home to popular apprehension by the striking events of the last three weeks, beginning with the Maine election and culminating in the flight or “thegira” of the regular Massachusetts dem- ocrats from Mechanics’ Hall in Worcester toward Faneuil Hall in Boston. The Maine election was regarded as startling only be- cause the old parties are blind. Amovement so wild, so stamped with ignorant fanaticism and folly, as the greenback craze in Maine could have made no impression on the regular parties in that State if they had not been moribund, if they had not been ‘in the hour and article of death.” They were so easily disintegrated because they had ceased to think the same things concerning the Republic, and therefore lacked any true bond of cohesion, A structure does not tumble into a shapeless mass of ruins at the first stroke of a battering ram unless the cementing mortar has already crumbled away and the walls have been thrown out ot perpendicular by.a sinking or giving way of the foundations. When so utterly irra- tional and contemptible a crotchet as the greenback heresy can shake both political parties in a naturally hard money State like Maine it is a conclusive proof that neither of them any longer possesses any strong cement of prirciple or even cohesive party pride to stand in the place of princi- ple and hold the party together. This truth is, if possible, still more signally illus- trated in Massachusetts, where both parties are put in mortal dread and poril by a man so little fitted to inspire public confidence as General Butler. A majority of the Mas- sachusetts democrats are abjectly licking the feet of a man who has been the fore- most reviler of their party since he deserted it many years ago. How utterly the party pride of the Massachusetts democrats must have been prostrated in the dust before a majority of them could become enthu- siastic supporters of General Butler! And this same man, who, having been a per- petual mischief maker in the republican party, has now become an open renegado and disorganizer, is able to carry with him a considerable portion of the republiean rank and file. When Andrew Johnson de- serted the party that elected him he strengthened it by rousing its indignation and made its unity more compact and zeal- ous. The reason was that the party had not at that time outlived its principles, and that it was still bound together by the pow- erful tie of thinking the same things con- cerning the Republic. But at present there is no great living question on which either the republican party or the democratic party cherish the same views or are united by-common aims. Each party bears more resemblance to a quarrelling mob than toa disciplined army, It is difficult to say whether there are more elements of dissension and discord in the republican or the democratic party. A large portion of the republican party has been in a state of mutiny against the re- publican President ever sinve he came into office; and if the quarrel is transiently hushed for the present it is only because the whole party is struck with alarm and consternation by the probable result of this year’s elections. In this State, for ex- ample, nothing prevents a war to the knife between the Conkling republicansand the Hayes republicans but a restraining | dread that the democrats may carry the | Legislature and elect the next Senator. It is not common aims, but common fears, that have led toa temporizing truce while the election is pending. On the real vital ques- tion of the time—the great question of the currency—neither the republican party nor the republican Cabinet is unit. Since | the Maine election even Secretary Sherman, who is charged with the high responsibility of resuming specie payments, has shown decided symptoms of weakening on the vital issue, In a recent interview, which he revised for publication and thereby authenticated, Mr, Sherman assumed an- apologetic air respecting his restimption measures, and went cleand over to the position of Senator Thurman on the question of substituting greenbacks for bank notes. He went clean ovor in princi- ple, and differs from Mr. Thurman only on aminor point of time. Senator Thurman would substitute greenbacks for bank notes at once, and Secretary Sherman, while ap- proving of the substitution, would defer it to a more convenient season when it would not embarrass his administration of the Treasury Department. ‘This is a most singular, nay, a most disquieting position to be taken by the chief finance officer of the administration in the present grave con- juncture. Whero shall the country look for stability and consistency and financial | courage when the Secretary of tho Treasury | yacillates and wavers on the most important | question of the day? The distraction and disorganization of the democratic party isat least equally con- spicuous. How wide isthe difference be- tween ‘lilden and Hendricks, between Bayard and Thurman, between the regular democracy of the West and the regular de- mocracy of the East! How can so divided a party act together in a Presidential elec- tion? Neither ‘Tilden nor Bayard could stand on any platform which a majority of the democratic party would accept, nor could their friends vote for Thurman or Hendricks without a complete renunciation of their principles. We need not look so far ahead as the Democratic National Con- (vention to got a lively imovression of these .still more signally illustrated in Massachu- irreconcilable antagonisms. We have lately observed tyem in Maine; within the last two days we have seen their effect in Connecticut, where Senator Eaton, Gover- nor Ingersoll and other conspicuous hard money democrats fled from the State Con- vention when they found that the green- back men had a majority; we have seen it setts, where the party is hopelessly cleit asunder by the candidature of Butler. There are symptoms of it in New York, where the Ohio ideas are meeting witha hospitable reception irom the dem- ocratic opponents of Mr, Tilden. The diversities of sentiment in both par- ties are ineradicable. For the tran- sient purposes of an election party leaders may preach harmony and cry peace! peace! bat there is no peace. We are apparently on the ove of a general breaking up and reconstruction of political parties, and the so-called national or green- back movement seems to be the battering ram by which the old organizations are to be brought down to the ground and re- duced to the condition of mere materials to be used in the new architecture. We hope to see the work of reconstruction begun in Massachusetts by a union of the hard money democrats with the hard money re- publicans against General Butler. Treaty Obligations—The ‘Trouble in the East. In the initiation of the difficulties that led to the late war in the East England cried out, as the champion of ‘‘the sacred- ness of treaty obligations,” against Russia’s proposed coercion of Turkey. Jingo opin- ion was exceedingly fond of the high moralities of national intercourse about that time, and to be able to say with any approximation to truth that a nation had ever failed to fulfil all the pledges to which it was bound by treaty was to give it over to the just reprobation of that highly moral party. England, therefore, roared inces- santly before the world on this theme of the “sacredness of treaty obligations,” until even the Austrian government hinted that it was somewhat nonsensical to rail so con- stantly on that theme in regard to a treaty that not one of the Powers that made it was prepared to defend in arms, But Eng- land railed on just the same, and would be railing yet, perhaps, if this subject of the obligation of treaties had not been brought to her attention in a way to give her sudden pause. Very lively notes have doubtless recently passed between Berlin aad London on the subject of the proposed conference to consider what steps shall be taken to compel Turkey to discharge the obligations she is under by the Treaty of Berlin. Germany, it will be remembered, initiated this proposal in consequence of Turkey’s course in Bosnia and her re- fusal to act on the recommendation with regard to Greece. Austria, Russia and Italy have responded favorably, but the response of England has not yet been heard. Why does she not assent like the others? Is it because she considers ‘‘the sacred- ness of treaty obligations” of less conse- quence in the case of Turkey than in the case of Russia? Apparently that is the rea- son. For Russia to disregard the terms of a certain treaty was very horrible in the eyes of England, because that treaty was made mainly to subserve British. purposes. But for ‘Lurkey to prove indifferent to every part of a treaty does not seem so horrible to British statesmen, because the treaty thus put aside with contempt was framed with a view to its easy violation by Turkey; and every part of England's relation to that treaty showed her intention that Turkey should be only ostensibly, not really, bound by the decrees laid down at Berlin. Hitherto Austria has been the only victim of the policy, the only dupe of England, the only sufferer by the faith reposed in British good will. At Berlin, but for Aus- tria England would have encountered only Powers favorable to the Treaty of San Ste- fano or Powers indifferent as between Eng- land and Russia. England, however, se- cured the support of Austria-first by fear and next by a promise. She frightened her by the “premature” dis- closure of the Anglo-Russian agreement. Austria, in alarm at the ihood of a com- plete understanding between London and St. Petersburg, was overready to bargain, and agreed to support England fully in consid- eration of the privilege to ‘“‘oceupy” Bosnia and Herzegovina. She supported England and helped her through all the unsettled points with Russia, and Russia was not without some uneasiness as to the accord between England and Austria, Then the clanse in regard to the Bosnian occupation went through to the complete satistaction of Austria, Subsequently occurred a pers formance not down on the bills—England tipped the broadest possible winks to the Sultan that of course Austria's ‘‘occupation” was down in the treaty, but it was for Con- stantinople and Vienna to arrange the con- ditions, and that, in the absence of such arrangement, the Sultan could not help it if the Bosnians should resist. Precisely how definite the communications on this point were is not known, but it was made clear enough to the Sultan that he was quile at liberty to help himself in this respect, and could count upon the ‘moral support” of England, That is what Austria got for her readiness to take part with England against her Northern neighbor; and England was the more ready for such a piece of “diplomacy” inasmuch as there was no delusion any- where in regard to Austria's motive. But why does Germany now take the initiative in stirring up this point of Turkey's delin- quency? Is it because sho holds her dig- nity to be peculiarly involved through her‘ leading relation to the Council? Probably not. It is more likely that she wishes to have the Powers committed, each for itself, and especially England, on the point whether the treaty is or is not mere waste paper, If it is not binding upon Tur- key—as England's position seems to imply she holds—then is it binding upon any one else? If one important part of it isto be ignored why not all the rest? If no one will coorce furkey under this treaty who will coerce Russian? And why should sho evacuate Roumelia? The C dian Eleetio The opposition party, led by Sir John Macdonald, has won a complete and signal triumph in the election of members of the Dominion Parliament. It is a political revolution, and the Mackenzie government will be forced to retire, since it no longer possesses the confidence of the country. It is supposed that the Mackenzie Ministry will immediately resign and that Sir John Macdonald will be invited to form a new government, The de- feat of the liberal party has been so deci- sive, so overwhelming, so surprising, that both in Canada and out of Canada there will be a lively interest in the affairs of the Dominion until the new government is or- ganized and settled. So far as the United States are concerned the change is likely to prove adverse to our interests, Sir John Macdonald, the conser- vative leader who has achieyed this great triumph, is an ardent and vigorous protec- tionist, and the new Parliament which he is to lead will pass laws hostile to the trade of this country. Our productions will be excluded from the Canadian markets by a high tariff, with a view to build up Canadian manufactures. ‘Che chances of a zollverein, and even of anew reciprocity treaty, are diminished by this great revolution in Canadian polities. Murderous Remedies. General Butler, who recently captured the seat of a democratic convention in Massachusetts, once endeavored to capture a somewhat stronger place in another State by the brilliant method of concussion. He had the Chinese theory that the really terri- ble thing in war is noise, and that the party that makes the most noise in any given col- lision. assuredly wins. It was a theory somewhat related to his political experi- ences, and so not altogether unnatural in him. From war to medicine is but one step, and now this theory of concussion has been suddenly imported into medical science. It is proposed to end in that way the prevalence of yellow fever in,the in- focted districts of the South. It is an imi- tation of the plan of the doctor who always gave his patients something to give them fits, and then cured the fits; but it appears to emanate from some one who cannot even cure the fits. Concussion will have about as much effect on yellow fever germs as it had upon the walls of Fort Fisher, so far as its dispersion or destruction of such germs is concerned; but it will have a greater effect in another sense. One of the things that the explosion of any considerable quantity of gunpowder can certainly accomplish is to make such actions and reactions in the atmosphere as to disturb an existing equilibrium and pro- duce rain. Extensive experiences in war prove that. What the concussion may ac- complish, then, is to give the fever cities rainy weather ; and no worse fate can hap- pen them than to have copious rains. It is the one thing that aggravates their condi- tion more than any other. Heat and humid weather are the elements on which the pes- tilence thrives. The Massachusetts Republicans. The Republican State Convention at Worcester yesterday was in every way o contrast to ‘its democratic predecessor of Tuesday. It was marked by harmony, dig- nity, decorum; by nominations which satis- fied the expectations of the party, and by a declaration of principles,from which there will be little dissent. In the platform the chief emphasis was laid on the points upon which the party offers battle to General Butler and his supporters—that is to say, on the financial question and the integrity of the republican ad- ministration of State affairs. It makes no humiliating appeal for democratic sup- port, which would have been a symptom of weakness, although expressing the opinion that all good citizens ought to unite against his dangerous and alarming principles. The plattorm is firm and strong on the currency question, and it gives an unqualified indorsement of the republican State officers whose conduct General Butler has so roughly impugned. It goes as far as it can toward an indorsement of President Hayes, but when carefully read it is found to be no indorsement at all, his intentions and pledges being praised without any assertion that he has fulfilled them. Evidently the republicans of Massa- chusetts think his civil service promises aro mere professions ; but they approve of his Southern policy, which has been exe- cuted in accordance with his declarations. Itis evident that they intend to make no quarrel with the administration and are disposed to go as fur as they can in giving it a seeming support. It may, perhaps, excite surprise that they did not.make wore significant overtures to the anti-Butler democrats. We have no doubt! that their reserve in this respect is wise and politic, There is more to be gained by encouraging the democrats torun a regular ticket, and thereby keeping a por- tion of their party out of the Butler ranks, than by inviting ao coalition which would release ull democrats with Butler leanings from any further allegiance to their party. Hanlan anit Courtney. Courtney reaches Lachine to-day, where Hanlan is already hard at work preparing for the great race on the 2d of October. Both are well up in their training and beginning to get down near racing weight. The course, as was feared, is proving rough, and it might have been well had Couttnoy re- mained a week longer at sheltered Ownsco, Unless large liberty is allowed the referee in fixing the hour of the race should, the water prove rough on the first day there will be danger of more of the vexatious delay which Saratoga experienced, and which lasted beyond endurance in the Han- Jan-Ross race on the Kennebecasis. Mean- while the interest in the contest steadily increases, and bids fair to outstrip that felt in any professional race ever rowed in America. Both men are well so far, they have the, confidence of their friends, cach has made very fast time in the past, and everything points cither to o tremendous pace over the first mile or a close, hard race all over the five miles, with a very large as- sembly 6f spectators to view the sport. Although the betting is now even there is little doubt that Hanlan’s great activity and Courtney's comparative retirement during the past summer have turned public opinion decidedly in Hanlan’s favor, not only throughout Canada| but in many parts of this country as weld. If the rough water continues at Lachine he will have a de- cided advantage over his rival. Ihe Murder of Mary Stannard. If the Rev. Mr. Hayden is innocent of the murder of the young girl, Mary Stannard, he is one of the most unfortunate of men. The revelations at the trial from day to day all go to build up against him one of the strongest cases of circumstantial evidence that has been presented for many years ina court. In the first place there is the testi- mony of the half sister of the deceased that on the evening when she was found murdered she had declared that she was {to meet by appointment the Rev. Mr. Hayden. ‘Then there are her admissions to the same half sister of her criminal intimacy with the accused clergyman and the blood stains upon his pocket knife. This is strong and terrible evidence against him, but it is not all. In the despatch of our correspondent this morning a letter written by the murdered woman four days before her death is printed, which forges another link against the accused pastor. This letter has been referred to in the trial, and at the proper time will be made a part of the record. In it the unhappy woman mentions her sortow and shame and requests her half sister to deliver a note enclosed in it tothe Rev. Mr. Hayden, This was on the 30th of August. She was murdered on the 3d of September. This letter proves conclusively that the most in- timate relations existed between them—re- lations which do not usually exist between clergymen and the female members of their congregations, Mr. Hayden may be inno- cent, but the weight of evidence is thus far all against the theory that he is not the murderer of Mary Stannard. A Message of Peace. It will be seen by a despatch in another column this morning that Mr. Tilden denies the truth of several interesting rumors which are at present disturbing the equanimity of a large number of the democratic politicians of the city and State. In the first place, he declares that he has no designs upon the coming State Convention and does not intend to inter- fere with it inany way. Next, he assures all whom it may concern that the only knowl- edge he has of the movement against the Sheriff, the Register and the County Clerk has been acquired from the newspapers ; but if these officers are guilty of a violation of the law he has no hesitation in saying that they ought to be removed from office. This is the first time in many months that we have heard from Mr. ‘Tilden upon State and city political questions, and although what he says is not of very great importance it will be welcomed as the evidence that Louisiana, Florida and Oregon have not crowded us altogether out of his recol- lection.
