The depression has moved slowly castward and the pressure within its area has risen somewhat. ‘The barometer continues high on the Atlantic coast. It is high- est over the Middle Atlantic and New England districts, It has remained nearly stationary over the Gulf. Rain has fallen in the northern lake regions, the South Atlantic and Gulf const districts. Elsewhere partly cloudy weather has prevailed. The winds have been brisk over the northern lake region and the Northwest and generally fresh elsewhere. Temperatures have risen in the Middle Atlantic districts and the Jake re gions aud fullen elsewhere. The weather in New York and its vicinity to-day will be slightly warmer und partly clondy. Tomorrow the same conditions are likely to prevail in the early part of the day and be followed by in- creasing cloudiness. NEW YORK HKKALD, TUESD. Hew. John Kelly at Syracuse. ‘The great ‘'ammany chief has gone to the native seat of the renowned tribe of the Onondagas with all his war paint on, wear- ing in his belt a well sharpened tomahawk and the knife with which he hopes to take the scalp of that hated paleface, Governor Robinson. If he should return in triumph, with the dripping scalp of the Governor as a trophy, there will be no bounds to the admiring welcome with which he will be re- ceived’ by the Tammany braves. In that event not many city democrats will be bold enough to resist his will, and he can nominate any city ticket he pleases with a certainty of getting it elected. But if, on the other hand, Mr. Kelly should resemble the well known character who ‘‘went forth for wool and came back shorn,” his power and prestige in the city will-have become so diminished that the candidate for the Mayoralty whom he is supposed to have nominated in petto will be dropped, and Mr. Kelly will have to look about for a substitute whose real fit- ness will commend him tothe people. At the present moment Mr, Kelly’s pros- pects at Syracuse rest under a heavy cloud. The loud boasts of his organs that he had secured control of the State Con- vention are just now taken at a large discount. ‘There is, perhaps, also some bravado in the counter boasts of his democratic opponents; but their boasts differ from his in a very important circum- stance. Mr. Kelly’s organs make only a vague general claim, that he has a majority of the delegates ; but the Robinson faction furnish a detailed statement, county by county, of the delegates it has secured, and it is able to reckon up a clear and decisive majority. That the Robinson estimate is correct, and that the Kelly faction -know it to be substantially correct, is rendered prob- able by a rumor which they set afloat yesterday morning that a contesting delegation had been chosen in Oncida county, with Governor Seymour at its head. Had this story been true the outlook would have been rather bad for the supporters of Governor Robinson. Mr, Seymour is the most respected, influ- ential and popular democrat in the State, and were it trne that he headed an anti- Robinson delegation from Oneida county his influence would easily bring all waver- ing members of the Convention over to the Tammany side, But before the close of the day on which this report was started it was ascertained to be a baseless fiction. Gov- ernor Seymour, instead of being the head of a contesting delegation, was chosen as a member of the regular Robinson delegation from his own county, But, unfortunately for the Robinson faction, the ex-Governor's health will not permit him to attend, and his kinsman, John F. Seymour, is to take his place. Even if his health were better Gov- ernor Seymour would:probably be reluctant to go into a convention df which his friends woald insist on making him the president. But the fact that he is known to favor the Robinson side will increase the difficulties of Mr. Kelly’s position and weaken him with the rural democrats. ‘The Syracuse Convention will consist of three delegates from each of the 128 Assem- bly districts, making a totel of 384 members. The Robinson men claim that they havo a clear 220 of the 384, with the probability of a considerable in- crease from doubtful districts. But the situation is eompli¢ated| by an unusually large number of contesting telegations. Itis a rule established by a'grent-mass of prece- dents that contested delegations take no part in the preliminary organization of a Democratic State Convention, and that the delegates whose seats ars not contested con- trol the initial proceedings and appoint a committee on credentials to adjudicate con- testing claims. In view of this rule the opponents of Tammany have gotten up a set of contestants for the sixty-three seats from this city, with the purpose of shutting out Tammany from the preliminary organi- zation, But the sharp and alert Tammany chief has Attempted to retort this game upon its inventors by getting up contesting delegations in the Robinson districts, in the hope of ‘excluding greater number of Robinson than of Kelly delegates from the early proceedings of the Convention. *The consequence is that about one-third of the Assembly districts will have to stand aside under the rule until their claims are passed upon by the Committee on Credentials. The contests are 12 from Albany, 27 from Kings, 63 from New York, 9 from Onon- daga, 6 from Westchester, 3 from Orleans end 3 from Niagara, making a total of 123, or nearly one-third of the number of seats. But it is claimed that this sharp game will redound to the advantage of the Robinson faction. In spite of all the exclusions it is claimed that the Robinson men will have 147 of the 261 uncontested delegates, and be able to decide the claims of the contestants, If this be a cor- rect estimate it is certain enough that the Robinson men will not admit a sufficient number of the Kelly delegates to enable the latter to control the Convention, With such an unexampled multitude of contested seats to be passed upon it is next to impossible that the Democratic Convention should con- clude its labors cn Wednesday, so that the Republican Convention, which meets on Thursday, will not have the advantage (if they expected any) of shaping its proceed- ings with reference to what had been done by its antagonist, Mr. ‘Tilden professes to be out of this fight, and perhaps 1s so far as regards any active participation. It concerns him only remotely, but it concerns Governor Rob- inson immediately and vitally. ‘The Demo- cratic State Committee appointed by this Convention will have a potent influence next year when a full State ticket is to be nominated and Governor Robinson may be acandidate for re-election, But it is the State Committee of 1879 that will call and organize the Convention of the spring of 1880 for selecting delegates to the National Democratic Convention, and Mr. Tilden hasa direct interest only in the State Committee to be appointed next year. But whether he acts this year or abstains from action, all his’ sympathies go with Governor Robin- son) ‘Whose triumph at Syracuse would smooth the path and facilitate the plans of Mr. Tilden, He evinces his customary | | England's enpacity for war in India. shrewdness fight. If Governor Robinson should be foiled Mr. Tilden will not share (or at least will affect that he does not share) his de- feat. But if, as now seems not unlikely, Robinson triumphs over Kelly, the friends of Mr. Tilden will claim that if Robinson alone is an overmatch for Kelly Tilden and Robinson together will achieve an easy victory next year. The admirers of Mr. Tilden understand full well that the success of Governor Robinson now will advance the interests of their chief next year, and they will work with as much zeal for Robinson as they would for Mr. Tilden himself. Mr. Tilden is, there- fore, as dexterous and canny as usual in giving out that he is not active in this con- troversy, thereby exempting himself from a share in Robinson's defeat, if Robinson should be defeated, but keeping himself in a position to profit by Robinson's suc- cess if he gets the upper hand of Kelly at Syracuse. England’s Indian Trouble. With regard to the relations of England and Russia in countries contiguous to England’s Indian Empire British poli- ticians are still, as they have always been, divided into two classes. One class has always treated the notion that Russia could ever become a source of uneasiness to Eng- land in India as the madness of visionaries, and the other has ever been ready with an array of significant facts to prove that the | danger, though not immediate, was one that only constant watchfulness could guard against. In the arguments of the first the distances have always figured for a great deal, as have also the other physical ob- stacles—the uncertainty of the supports that the northern foe must depend upon and the sufficiency of England’s military resources in the East. Naturally these will deem the last point as greatly strengthened by the showy compliment which the govern- ment recently paid to its colored soldiery in bringing a few of them to Europe; for there are people who imagine that that ridiculous feat of transportation proves the fitness of the Hindoos to fight the Russians. But those who have thought that it was un- wise to belittle the dangers of Russia’s proximity to India have always pointed to the constant and regular progress of her advances in that direction; to her success in overcoming the repugnance to her su- premacy of the barbarian potentates in her path; to the fact that she is no longer re- mote from India in a military sense, and to the fact, above all, that if it should come to hard fighting England is much the most remote from the scene of conflict, since the fighting material would have to go from the British Isles. It would, in fact, be as idle for England to try to fight Russia with Hindoos as it was for France to put ‘Turcos” as fur as they went in the ficld against the Ger- mans, Out of Asia there has come into're- lation with the people of Europe but one really high class fighter. This isthe Turk ; yetin the recent war the Turks at their best, with military training and equipped with the best arms in the world, never stood any chance at all in open battle against the Russians; and the Hindoos would be no more successful against the conquerors of the Turks than they were for- merly against the Russians themselves. All these considerations will be gone over anew in England now, for the insult to the British mission at the frontier of Afghanis- tan will give them fresh interest. Jealousy of Russian advances and maneuvres in Afghanistan was what prompted the de- spatch of this mission. It was held that England must have from the Ameer an ex- planation of the appearances that seemed to indicate an excessive good will between him and the northern enemy; and the sudden determination of doubts as to his temper toward England will confirm the worst opinions on this point. Does it follow from this that the collision between the great Powers in the East, which must come some day, is now near at hand? Doubtless the course taken now in Afghanistan is under Russian impulse; bat we do not believe that Russia proposes to be seen just now in awar with England. Events will take o shape that will make them even less easy to deal with than they would be in that case. England has been grossly insulted by a small Asiatic potentate, her neighbor. Her prestige will require her to punish him. An expedition will be sent for that purpose, but its result is not to be certainly counted upon. England has found the Afghans troublesome cus- tomers in former contlicts, but the Afghans, plus the assistance that Russia can secretly give them, will of course be more trouble- some still, and England might not readily come out of the difficulty to her satisfac- tion. Here, then, is the characteristic way in which Russia may try the exact limits of There will be no invasion of India, as the British | erities have always counted there would be in reasoning on this subject. But England will be excited to invade other States, and the war so made will prove an enormous process for tapping her resources, The Ceol Weather, The weather of the past few days has indeed been very extraordinary, putting our citizens in a quandary. Many have been in doubt whether it were better to put up their sammer c!othes and don the heavy garments necessary in the winter months; but no sooner would they be prepared for a cool breeze than they would have to undergo the very unenviable sensation produced by the erratic winds changing round to the south and raising the tem- perature to that of a midsummer's day, It is very probable, however, that folks will not be kept long in suspense, because when the depressions that are in the West will have passed eastward the chilly north winds will soon banish the straw hat and summer clothes from sight and bring forth the ulster and fur collar. There is very little possi- bility that the beneficial effects of the cool weather will reach the Southern yellow fever districts, because of the close proximity of a zone of low pressure that lies to the south of those sections and which is very vertain to move northward. in keeping out of the present H A Hint to His Holiness. Itis announced from Rome that at the next Papal Consistory, which will be held on the anniversary of the election ot Leo to the Pontificate, His Holiness will com- memorate that interesting ‘event by the creation of three new cardinals, the fortu- nate gentlemen being the nuncios at Paris, Madrid and Lisbon. There are, of course, sufficiently good and pious reasons for singling out these three gentlemen at three of the principal political points in Europe for the high honors of the cardinalate, and every loyal son of the Church will, as in duty bound, approve the action of the Holy Father and his saintly advisers. Spain, Portugal and France have, compared with Italy, little or no voice in the Sacred College. In the latter country cardinals are almost as nu- merous as Congressmen are with us, and the contemplated appointments have in all probability been decided upon for, among other reasons, the purpose of rendering more equal the clerical equilibrium of the Church in Europe. But if the countries that it is proposed to honor and propitiate in this way have been badly'treated, with how much more reason might the Church here com- plain of the manner in which it has been ignored at Rome! Italy could be, buried in one of the canyons of our great mountain ranges; in fact, it would scarcely make a comfortable hunting ground for one of our Indian tribes, and yet we have only one cardinal, while it has mor? thin twoscore ofthem. As a matter of fair play, which St. Peter particularly loved to see carried out upon all occasions, we think his sainted and apostolic successor ought to send another “hat” across the Atlantic. It is hardly fuir to give all the honors to the sons and subjects of the eftete despotisms. General Butler on His Canvass. General Butler, it will be seer. from the interview ‘with @ representative of the Hirarp last evening, is still sanguine of success in his campaign. Where his vote is: to come from; where the one hundred and forty or fifty thousand men who must march to the polls to elect him now are, he does not say, except that they are somewhere within the borders of the State. The figures of his secretary, which we printed yester- day morning, in which it was claimed that the gallant General would capture seventy thousand of the one hundred and eight thousand that voted for Mr. Tilden, leaving the Faneuil Hall party only a beggarly thirty- eight thousand, are repudiated by him. He is equally emphatic in declining all re- sponsibility for the statement that he would obtain thirty-five thousand regular republi- cans. ‘his arithmetical exactness is not to the General's taste. He is full of tho most magnificent expectations and wisely believes that it will be time enough to begin the counting when the election is over. There is one point, however, upon which the General ventures a little prophecy—namely, that in this State at the coming election the greenback party will cast one-third of the vote. If the estimate of his strength in Massachusetts has no better foundation in fact or probability than this the republicans of the Bay State need not have much fear of the Butler Adullamites. Seeing the Elephant. It is strange how fond the country par- son is of pursuing zodlogical studies in this city. From the remote rural districts in New England ; from all the States of the West, even to Jersey ; and from neighbor- ing cities they love to come trooping in to draw from their contemplation of ‘the elepbant,” as seen in the city, inspiration for sermons more or less instructive or sensational, Parson Talmage is the latest visitor who comes to apply the processes of vivisection to the study of the wickedness of the human heart in the metropolis. Formerly, however, the public learned of the explorative spirit of the visiting parson in another way. He was commonly first heard of at Jefferson Market, where he ap- peared next morning in charge of the officer whose duty it was to conduct t> the presence of the magistrate those who had been locked up over night. Astonished to see a man of the parsonly style in such company the magistrate skilfully drew out his name and the whereabouts of his home, and he was goon on the way thither. But the brethren had heard of the story generally, and when they, with faces lengthened and sad, called for an explanation, the truth came out that the parson had gone to the city—yea, even tothe city slums--to see for himself the terrible wickedness, to study and contem- plate in their nakedness the vices of man, that he might preach against them with a more feeling fervor. Of course the expla- nation was satisfactory—yet there were always doubters, who shook their heads ; and we are, therefore, glud to see that Mr. Talmage takes a policeman with him, to guard against misinterpretation; for, though a policeman is not more virtuous than a parson, he is hardened and indifferent.
