The unblushing bravado of che party press, which makes it a point of party loy- alty to put forth confident predictions of victory tor its own side up to the last mo- ment, make those organs quite worthless as sources of information, Their com- peting claims are evidence of nothing but their own wishes, and their only effect is to confuse the minds of plain people who read their mutually con- tradictory statements and prophecies. The independent press, which scorns such ab- surd clap-trap and disdains to cloud the judgment of its readers when it cannot en- lighten it, contents itself in doubtfal cases with explaining the situation and enabling the public to imterpret the result when it shall be announced on the day after the election. Observers must not allow their minds to be bewildered by the attempts of undis- criminating party organs to fix attention on points of nu consequence, The only really important thing in the elections which are to come off to-morrow is the bearing of their result on the next House of Represen- tatives. The rest is mere drapery, No State officers of any importance are to be chosen either in Ohio or Indiana, and even if a Governor were to be elected in one or both of the States suecess would signify very little in its bearing on the great contest of 1880. But inasmuch as only minor State officers are to be chosen in either State it makes little difference which party carries off this part of the prize. Even the control of the respective Legislatures of the two States isa matter of subordinate interest. In Ohio Mr. Pendleton, the new Senator elect, takes his seat next March for a full term of six years. Mr. Thurman’s term does not expire until 1881, and his successor will not be elected by the Legislature which is to be chosen to-morrow. Although a seat in the United States Senate is involved in the Indiana election, the success or defeat ot Mr. Voorhees will make no difference in the political complexion ot the Senate, which is certain to be democratic in any event. The elections which are to be held to-morrow are of real national importance only so far as they may | affect the new House of Representatives. It is a matter of vital consequence to both parties to control the next House, and al- though the chances favor the democrats it is not yet certain that they will have a ma- jority. Considerable losses in the elections to-morrow would cast a shadow over the democratic prospects of a complete control ot both houses in the next Congress. In the present House of Representatives the democrats have a majority of thirteen. It hence follows that a loss of barely seven members would shift the majority to the other side, because each member taken from the democrats not only diminishes their strength by one, but adds one to the republicans, making a difference of two in the relative count. The elections al- ready held make a republican triumph more difficult than it seemed at the outset. The republicans have lost two members in Maine, one in Ver- mont and one in Oregon, and have gained one in Colorado, making a net loss of three ; and it seems tolerably certain that the republicans will lose five or six members from the Southern States, where their party is virtually disbanded. Unless, therefore, they should make large gains in Ohio and Indiana to-morrow they can have no reasonable hope of recover- ing their lost control of the House of Representatives. It seems not improbable that they will gain two or three members in Ohio, but, judging from the survey of our Indianapolis correspondent, printed to-day, they have but a slender chance of gaining any Congressmen in Indiana. As between the two old parties there is but a slender likelihood that the lower honse of Congress can be wrested trom democratic control. But the new so-called national party is inthe field in both States, inspired with great activity, boldness and confidence since the surprising strength exhibited by their party in Maine. If they should elect a few Congressmen that would bode no good to the republican party, since their members would naturally affiliate with the democrats. But it may happen that, instead of electing members of their they will merely divide the opposi- tion to the republicans and enable the republican candidate in many districts to slip in between the two and secure his election, The republican hopes of success rest to some extent on this calculation; buat whether it is a correct calculation cannot be known with any certainty until we get the election figures on Wednesday morn- ing. The sources of uncertainty respecting the greenback vote in Ohio and Indiana lie en- tirely on the democratic side, and not at all on the republican side. Nobody has republican infla- tionists will do. ‘ue republican party having planted itself on hard money ground both in Ohio and Indiana, its greenback will, of go into the camp of the nationals, thereby weak- ening the republican party to the extent of this ‘loss, whatever it may amount to. But it is not so obvious that the same class will secede from its democratic associations. In Ohio and Indiana the democracy is nota hard money party. The craziest of the na- tionals cannot very well go beyond it in its professed devotion to greenbacks. Demo- cratic voters in Ohio and Indiana are under no very strong temptation to desert trom course, since the difference between the democratic creed and the greenback creed is impercep- tible to the common sense of plain citizens, Pendleton, Ewing and Voorhees, who are accepted democratic leaders, stand on the extreme verge of the greenback doc trine, and there is no great inducement for a democratic inflationist to forsake a party in which such men are recognized leaders. Ali of the republican inflationists will, of course, go into the national party, which is a convenient half-way house where they may rest without the re« proach of going over to the democrats, But why shonld any democratic voter sep- arate himself from his party in Ohio or Indiana on the greenback question? Even Mr. Thurman and Mr. Hen- dricks, who are more moderate than their democratic associates in their re- spective States, have gone far enough to deserve the confidence of the greenback devotees. The republican party in those two States, having declared for resumption and hard money, will necessarily lose its greenback element, which will go over to the nationals ; but the democratic party in those States being as deeply dipped in infla- tion as the nationals themselves, would seem to have a better chance of holding its own members. But it is idle to speculate on what will so soon be decided. Two days hence the election figures will furnish au- thentic information on this point. The chief value of the elections which are to be held to-morrow will consist in the light they may throw on the strength of the greenback party in the West, and the degree of its weakening effect on the two old parties respectively. The dem- ocratic party in Ohio and Indiana has bid so high for the greenback vote thatthe country will be curious to learn whether the bid has been successful. The chief interest of to- morrow’s elections lies in the decision of this point, The Indian Uprising. Again the nation is threatened with an Indian war-—a war which, if suspicions and reports be true, will be more serious than any which has occurred within the past few years. Instead ot fighting merely for their wretched homes, which has been the habit of some Indians during the past de- cade, the Cheyernes are raiding the Kansas border, stealing and murdering as they go, and now it is feared that the long peaceful Red Cloud will take the warpath with the hundreds of Sioux to whom his word is law, and that Spotted Tail also will fight. Had Red Cloud been a white leader he would long ago have joined any one who was fighting against the government, for he and his band have beeo shamefully abused during the years in which they have behaved so admirably. Their latest change of reservation seemed one of the most re- markable of peacetul triumphs over the Indians and a notable proof of the self- restraint of a wild race, supposed to be as lawless as it was brave, but it seems now that the manifest blundering of the government has been too much for Sioux forbearance. Of course, the blunder- ersare not to suffer; the residents of the border, the soldiers of our gallant littlearmy and, apparently, the miners of the Black Hills are to be punished for the faults of those who should have known better than to have abused the confidence and patience of so able a warriorand statesman as Red Cloud. Rumors from Omaha trace the trouble far closer to the government than thievish In- dian agents have ever been, and the public should insist upon knowing just how much truth there is in these reports and whether bribery and trickery have really been attempted by persons high in authority. A Grant Man on Grant, The intimate personal relations that exist between ex-President Grant and ex-Gov- ernor Shepherd, of Washington, give the views of the latter on the question of General Grant’s possible candidacy for the next Presidency, which are elsewhere printed, something more than a mere pass- ing interest. During his second adminis- tration there were few politicians in the republican party who possessed more of the confidence of General Grant than Mr, Shepherd. He was a sort of Cabinet officer without a portfolio, and it was be- lieved, with good reason at the time, that his counsel was oftener sought and more frequently followed than that of any one of the President’s constitutional advisers. We infer from the interview in question that these relations still exist ina greater or less degree. At all events, Mr. Svepherd says that his ‘‘advices” from the ex-President are to the effect that he does not wish his name to be used as a possible candidate; is not seeking und does not de- sire a nomination. Mr. Shepherd, how- ever, is of the opinion that if the republi- can party were to unmistakably signify its desire that he should become a candidate General Grant would again consent to lead its squadrons in the great quadrennial con- test. Coming from so intimate a friend, from one who is evidently in correspond. ence with the General, this may be warded as a sort of semi-author- ized statement that General Grant is willing if the party isanxious. The remain- ing portions of the interview are valuable only as containing the opiuions of one who has the reputation of being a shrewd poli- tician and a keen observer of the political | drifts and currents. ‘Ihe information Mr. Shepherd gives, that the feeling in favor of General Grant's nomination is far stronger | in the West than in the East, will be agree- | able news to the friends of the illustrious soldier in this section and a strprise to those who suppose that the interest in his future is confined almost entirely to his personal friends on the Atlantic seaboard, ‘The West, Mr. Shepherd declares, has given birth tothe present Grant movement, and | the people, not the politicians, are tho motive power. Yellow Fever Remedies, An epidemic so extensive as that which has ravaged the Lower Mississippi Valley this summer—so deadly and so little con- trolled by treatment—naturally excites the imagination of all men whose thonghts have been given to the treatment of disease, and has particularly emphasized the opinion that he present state of knowledge of this clasa of diseases is a reproach to medical science, It is natural that this impression should have extended to France, and it will not surprise any one that an ingenious chemist of Fécamp, in that country, has sent, through the United States Consul at Havre, for use in New Orleans in the treatment of the fever, a substance the basis of which is chlorine, As all the theories of the prop- agation of this disease attribute it to a microscopic parasite of uncertain origin, and as chlorine is an agent of known en- ergy in the destruction of such sources of | disease, the proposed remedy has in its favor the fact that it seems to be rationally in accordance with what is kuown of the Na MA of cure. We hope it may re~ ceive in the hands of those to whom it is consigned the trial it seems to merit. The Finances of England. Certain remarkable statements which ap- peared in the money articles of the London Times on the 10th, 11th and 12th of last month show a condition of grave apprehen- sion in England as regards the future finan- cial prospects of that country and the enormous changes which have been brought about mainly by the rapid growth and immense resources of our own, They deplore the fact that the decrease in the exports of Great Britain is, like the in- crease in the value of her imports, continu- ous, and admit that for the first eight months of the current year the nominal ad- verse balance of their foreign trade account is about four hundred and fifty millions of dollars, The steady export to this country of Unjted States securities in payment for goods is also a source of alarm, for it is ad- mitted that that means of liquidation is almost at an end, which indicates the early flow of bullion to this country, while the loss of the interest on the bonds thus re- turned ‘is in particular a direct and per- manent impoverishment of a very serious kind.” The very low rates for exchange on London reflects the condition of affairs thus shadowed forth, and it is impossible not to take that condition into considera- tion without grave fears for the future. Whero or how the storm which is preparing may break none can prophesy, but it is evident that the impoverishment of a coun- try which has mainly depended on foreign production for its supply of breadstufts, | while the lands, which are suitable tor the production of grain are held in com- paratively few hands and chiefly used for the preservation of game and the sports of a privileged class, must lead to the home production of what is needed for home con- sumption, and the consequent breaking down of aristocratic accumulation of orna- mental or sporting domains, As we before our war were the best customers of Eng- land so now England in her turn has be- come ours, and in national finance as in private mercantile enterprise no trader has ever been benefited by the loss of means by his customers, the present condition of England should, therefore, be a source of anxiety to ourselves as well as to her. An Interview with Governor Sey- mour, Our correspondent at Utica reports a con- versation with ex-Governor Seymour which exhibits the anxiety of that statesman fora restoration of harmony and good feeling in the democratic party of this State. The Democratic State Committee is to meet and organize in this city to-morrow, and the sentiments of Mr. Seymour deserve their thoughtful consideration. There can be no reasonable doubt of the correctness of the point on which he chiefly insists—namely, that a State committee ex- ceeds its legitimate authority when it as- sumes to control the action of a State con- vention. The committee is chosen one year and the convention meets the next year. Consisting of delegates freshly chosen by the people the convention should be left entirely free to give effect to their wishes untrammelled by a committee appointed a year before and representing the past rather than the present sentiments of the party. Governor Seymour holds—very justly as it seems to us—that the province of a State committee in relation to a State con- vention should be limited to the merely formal duty of initiating the proceed- ings without any attempt to control results. The fact that Governor Sey- mour has spoken on this subject is note- | worthy. It relieves his attitude from the misconceptions which naturally arose out of the action of his brother, John F. Seymour, inthe Syracuse Convention. That action seemed hostile to the Tilden wing of the party, and many people inferred that it was inspired by Governor Seymour, or at least reflected his sentiments. The interview which we publish tends to remove that im- pression and to show that John F. Sey- mour’s conduct at Syracuse was without the sanction or complicity of his distin- guished brother. The Ancient An ancient colored professor of the enli- nary art in the Southern States, questioned on the subject of her age, distinetly remem- History of Now York. | bered, as an important fact in the case, that she ‘cooked for the hands that dug the Chattahoochie River.” That fact undoubt- edly establishes a good record for age, but then the whole South isa sort of new coun- try, and the wide ditches called rivers in the Gulf States were none of them, per- haps, formed more than two or three thou- sand years since. But a writer in the eur- rent number of the Popular Science Monthly telis in a very entertaining way what he knows about the digging of New York Har- bor, an event of comparatively great an- tiquity, since it happened, as nearly as ho can count or remember, some millions of years before Havemeyer was Mayor. Few stories in the literature of science are more fascinating than the fine yarns the geologists spin from the evidencés of the rocks and rivers, the mnd and the moun- tains and the fossils; but when these yarns are made local the charm is certainly far greater. Thus there is a certain interest in the pterodactyl, wherever placed. It is vagne and general, however. But place him at the corner of Broadway and Four- teenth street, and the fancy immediately seizes upon him asa denizen if not a na- tive, and longs to build him into the narra- tive of municipal history. It appears from this record that the Police Commissioners, in their attempts to fill up the harbor, only continued # lubor that has been in progress for many ages, and that consequently the real bottom of the harbor is now from one hundred to two hundred feet below the present soundings. That bottom is of rock, and was made at a time when the water that now goes to the sea by the St. Lawrence River, as well as that by the Housatonic and the Connecticut, all came down and went out by way of the Battery. We had more terminal facilities then, but not so much use for thom. Grain elevators would have been of no account, because all OCTOBER 7, 1878.—TRIPLE SHEET. the walls of the harbor were as bape above the river level as the bottom of the harbor is now below soundings, and the grain could have been dumped off into the ships. But the land went down and the water didn’t, and consequently we are where weare, All the land in common, it seems, with nearly the whole eastern edge of the continent went down slowly, slowly, and the worst of it is it is still going down at about the same rate—an inch or two ina cen- tury. In acouple of thousand years, there- fore, we shall all have to move, unless some Tammany engineer can get a big appropria- tion through the Legislature to shave this thing stopped. A Picture of Puris. The letter from Paris on another page presents an interesting photograph of the life of the gay, glittering capital of France, which is to Europe what our own city is to this Western continent. All the world is in Paris just now. Its boulevards are the promenade of the nations—of the Russian and the Greek, of the Pole and the Peru- vian, the Egyptian and the Canadian, the Japanese and the Englishman, One week alone brought eighteen thousand from every land to which civilization is known—more than one thousand from our own shores, giving us the fifth rank in point of attendance at the Exposition and at, perhaps, other points of attraction upon which our correspondent is discreetly silent. The suggestion tlrt this American invasion is composed mainly of the gentle- men who have paid their debts by act of Congress is grimly humorous and is pos- sibly true, If so they are careful not to register at the Heraup Bureau and so avoid the weekly setting of their names in the type of our cable Personal Intelligence. Perhaps their modesty is purely owing to their consideration for their cred- itors. That the bankrupts are not, however, our only American pilgrims is shown by the long list of well known citizens, from General Grant down, who go to make up the American colony. It will be seen that there are enough of our statesmen there to form an entire administration, but we are so rich in that article that we could well afford to send over several hundred more without very great detriment to the country. Paris in these October days is supremely happy and proud. After all her sorrow and suffering she is still the queen of the European capitals, A Tragedy of Errors, When a man goes into a church in search of revenge there must be some cause for his action that is entirely out of reason, and when he stabs the wrong person, hav- ing apparently intended to kill his own wife, the motives of his conduct must be searched outside the boundaries of respect- able human sentiments. From the earliest days whose history is recorded, churches have been asylums for all classes of evil-doers and suspected persons, and no one but brutes in human form have even endeavored to disregard the mercy and pity which have always been offered the wicked in the name of religion. The wretch who yesterday stabbed (and in church) a woman whom he believed to be his wife, seems to have transgressed the laws of humanity, common manliness and religion. He had been sent to prison for cruelty to his wife. Saturday night and Sunday morning he had been drinking and playing cards, a bottle of whiskey being found in his possession. Hé had done nowork since leaving the Island, and though sometimes he went to church he alluded to religious services as something endurable only when there was nothing better to do, A better course of training could not be devised for turning a man into a soulless, ferocious brute, without, apparently, a single redeeming feature. Meanwhile, the in- nocent woman who had been mis- taken for another is suffering from an ugly wound made because of jealousy in a man unfit to have been treated as a faithful companion. There are some sad mistakes which are excusable, but in this case there seems no possible room for ex- cuse or even pity. Bismarck Gives No Bismarek also threatens to resign unless he can have his own way. In Kuropean politics generally very great use is made of the threat to resign. It was the most used weapon in ‘Thiers’ armory, and it has been lately pat on duty by MacMahon him- self, who has threatened to resign unless the obstinate Senatorial electors make faces at the Republic. Gambetta hints, witha pun, that this is running things into the ground, and rather more than intimates that if France could only be sure that MacMahon would stand by his promise it would assume at any moment any given attitude which he would be kind enough to declare would force his resignation. It will be remem- bered that the opponents of Thiers used against him his habit of threatening to re- sign. He made this threat repeatedly on great occasions, and the Assembly as often gave way betore it, because they could easier abandon any given point in politics than face the chaos that seemed imminent at any conception of his withdrawal. But he threatened too often, and a trap was made for him by the enemy, who, taking him at his word, forced him trom the Presi- dency. Bismarck has proceeded always in « different spirit, and has been chary of attempts to influence legislation by hold. ing up the spectre of the chaos that might come if he were to give way. He has, how. ever, nade this appeal, and no doubt very sincerely just now. In fact, the imperial polities are at a point where he would prob- ably be satisfied to be absolved of responsi-+ bility unless he can act without restraint. He had made his bargain with the papal power, and would have got on without the national liberals; but the Crown Prince, in actual authority, refused to ratify that bar- gain. Bismarck was thus forced to a bar- gain with the others or to certain defeat. ‘They will not trade on his terms, and defeat is imminent, from which he endeavors to save himself by the assurance to those anxious to force it that if they make the law to suit themselves entirely he will not stay to enforce it, Dean Stanley in New York. With the most solicitous regard for Dean Stanley's health, which was to have limited his pulpit efforts in America to two, we are nevertheless glad that New York was one of the points to be benefited by his vio~ lation of his physician's orders. His sermon in Calvary Episcopal Church yesterday waa upon that portion of the story of Job in which the pure understanding of the young Elihu overbore the traditional wisdom otf the patriarch’s three counselling friends, and the application was that while truth never changes its aspects do, and that these are to be regarded with the candor, earnestness and obe« dience which are demanded by the prin- ciples of which they are the expression, Personally, this application is not limited to religious topics; the scientist and the statesman will find in it the only prin- ciple by which their own callings can be pursued with honor to themselves and good to humanity. Mexico's Injured Innocence. “Here’s the sort of game to make you laugh seven years arter yer dead, and turn every ‘air on your ’end gray with delight.” So said the little man with the three thimbles and a pea at Greenwich fair; and 80 may conceivably say the ingenious pere sons referred to in our Mexican corre. spondence the other day, who have estab- lished a connection with the Mexican treas« ury on the ground of the presumed sere vices they are to render in the columns of American newspapers. These columns are extremely numerous. There are over three hundred thousand of them, if we count the newspapers of the country, as averaging twenty-four columns each, and there is con« sequently no limit to the service that may be done. There should be as little limit to the money due when pay day comes. It may be remembered that the name of the principal agent to enlighten the press was Pritchard. By a singular coincidence the name of the Mexican Con- sul at San Francisco is also Pritchard, and by another coincidence that is almost start- ling the readers of the Hrraxp will tind to-day that this last Mr, Pritchard is in an agony of apprehension lest the United States should violate its international duties toward Mexico on the Rio Grande, and is determined at least that it shall not do so through ignorance if he can throw any light on the subject. We give the in« terview with him just as it comes from the Pacific coast, because it may be useful to know what Diaz has to say by the mouths of agents who are, perhaps, more in hig confidence than his diplomatic representa« tives.
