Some of the Eastern papers are actuallyspeaking of Windom seriously as a Presi-dential possibility. It is a little singularhow some men, especially editors, can't dis-tinguish a joke from a plain statement offact.

Fbobably Mr. Hayes knew, before tendsring the Dakota governorship to his privatisecretary, Rogers, that he would not accept

This supposition is the only one upon whiolMr. Hayes can escape the charge of beinjhopelessly idiotic

Kemble, the Boss Tweed of Pennsylvania,baa been put in the penitentiary and givenhard labor like other candidates. Itis saidhe willbe pat at shoecuaking. Itis credita-ble to Pennsylvania justice that a wealthyman like Kemble can be convicted.

The Chicago Tiibune is a newspaper ofgreat influence. For over a year ithas beendiligently cultivating Mr. Washburne as aPresidential plant, but is now obliged to ac-knowledge tbat out of the 140 delegites thusfar chosen to the Chicago convention onlyfivehave a preference for its favorite candi-date.

Gladstone ishaving some trouble in forming a ministry. His party seems to be considerably divided. Itis, in fact, a ombiiiation of a number of parties

—the extremesof liberal, democrat and socialist having

combined to effeot the overthrow of the conservative government in the hope of eventu-ally gaining something by it.

Five State conventions are to be held to-day. The Democrats of Pennsylvania andConnecticut willchoose delegates to Cincin-nati, and the Republicans ofArkansas, Ohio,and South Carolina willbe heard from as totheir preferences forPresidential candidates.The principal interest will center in theDemocratic convention in Pennsylvania andthe Kepublioan convention inOhio.

Gen. Butler asserts that fully one-fourthof tbe citizens of Massachusetts are disfran-chised by tho laws of that State, and thatunder tbe law apportioning members of Con-gress s'to is only entitled to eight instead ofeleven Congressmen. Tbe facts stated donot admit of dispute. Tbe poll-tax lawkeeps tb~ .Rands of poor though intelligentmen from tho polls.

Some of tin:Republican papers are point-ing to the larpa deficiency bills of the pres-ent session hs an evidence of the niggarddisposition of the Democratic Congress inrefusing needed supplies to the government.They should rather be regarded as an evi-dence of the extravagance of the Republi-can officials who have the disbursement ofthe funds under their oontrol.

The Chicago Times prints tbe followingquery and answer:

Query— lfGrant and Tilden are the nomi-nees of the two parties, whichof the nomineeswillyou support?

Answer—

That is a hypothetical question,whichThe Times does not answer at present.

Inplain English the answer is: That de-pends upon whioh of the candidates willpaythe most for the support of the Time*.

Dttnnell is indulging in a little cheapbuncombe for home consumption. He nowproposes to put paper on the free list. Thereason why he voted to retain the tariff whenthe question was up, was because he was madat a member of Congress who favored therepeal. This is pretty thin. He knows thathis move will pass for nothing now, andwhen it might have counted itwas on theother side. His little game of dust throw-ing don't fool anyone.

Ithas becomo so common for Republicanpapers to allude to outrages upon the coloredpeople of Mississippi that many people havecome to regard that State as a very hot-bedof crime, and as presenting every induce-ment for the colored people to leave it. Thetestimony of two colored men from that Statebefore the exodus committee on Monday willbe very apt to dissipate that notion, how-ever. They assert most emphatically thatthey are well treated, have equal educationaladvantages to the whites, and are prosperousin all cases in which they are industrious.

NEGROES AT WEST POINT.Itmust be exceedingly gratifying to the

members of the Republican party to readthe debate in the Senate on Monday on theamendment proposed to an incidental billbySenator Allison,of lowa. The amendmentdirects the President to appoint two coloredmen ineach year as cadets to the militaryacademy at West Point The objections ofthe Democrats and some of the Republicansto the amendment developed just about howdeep the professed love of the Republicansfor the colored race penetrates.

Ever since the party came into power ithas assumed to be the especial guardian oftbe colored people of the country. Itwasinthe position— purely accidental, however—

to claim the credit of their emancipation. Itsecured their enfranchisement more with aview to perpetuating its own power than asa matter of justice. It secured the passageof laws designed especially to benefit them.Now Senator Allison rises inbis seat in theSenate and acknowledges publicly that tbeprofessions of regard for the raoe on the partof his party are a mere sham, and thatcoercion will have to be employed to induceRepublicans to accord to the negroes theirjust rights. Notwithstanding the fact thatthe executive offioe and both bouses of Con-gress have been under the control of theRepublicans of both houses nearly the wholetime that the negro has been in the enjoy-ment of the rights of citizenship, but threecolored men have been appointed to oadet-ships in the military academy. Republican

Presidents have bad the privilege of appoint-ing ten cadets each year, but none of tbeappointees from that source have been color-ed men. Republican Senators and Repre-sentatives have had the disposal of severalhundred like appointment 9 each year, andbut three out of several thousand nomi-nated by them have been colored men.Now Mr. Allison proposes to compelthe President to appoint colored men tothese positions —

to compel him to do whathe has the power to do ifhe chooses. Theproposition was ridiculous, and it is not tobe wondered at that itprovoked the discus-sion that itdid.

The law imposes no restrictions upon theappointment of oadets to West Point. ThePresident may name whoever be chooses tobe educated at the publio expense, whetherbe be white or black. The members ofboth houses of Congress enjoy tbe sameprivilege. Ifthe Republicans are %o anxiousto have the negro race represented in thatinstitution, they can secure that result bymaking their appointments accordingly.Two hundred colored men can procure ca-detships every year if tbe Republicans soelect. Bnt they have studiously ignored tbevery source of their present power, and fa-vored only the men of pure Caucassianblood. Even Mr.Allison, who is so solicittons for the publio education of colored menin the art of war,has neglected his oppor-tunities. He has been in the Senate forseven years, and during that time has con-signed fourteen young men to a lifeof idle-ness, but not one of them has been a negro.The most rabid of all the Senators andRepresentatives have a similar record. Notone of them from the North has yet conde-scended to acknowledge the existence of thecolored raoe, save for the purpose of makinga few buncombe speeches.

Senator Allison's amendment was entirelyunnecessary. Tbe President has the powernow to nominate ten colored men to WestPoint. Each Senator and Representativecan nil his allotment of nominations withcolored men. To attempt to coerce eitherof them is a piece of absurdity. It wouldnot receive the support of a majority of tbeRepublicans of either house.

IA SIGNIFICANTSPEECH.

The reigning sensation in New York po-itical circles is a speech by Senator Jacobsn the legislature of that State, in which hetrongly hints that he willnot snpport Mr.Cilden for the Presidency. Senator Jacobs,t willbe remembered, was the obairman ofhe Tilden Democratic convention at Syra-iuse last week, and was supposed to be en-isted heart and sonl in Mr. Tilden's canse.le ia a man of great political influence, alalm, clear-headed politician, and is gener-illyesteemed among men ofboth parties foriis uprightness, sagaoity and tact.

The occasion for the sneech was a tanntrom Senator Woodin, of Brooklyn, hintinphat Sent' r Jaoobs was owned by Mr. TiJ.3en a• 1 eoverned in his political actionwholly f>v his dictum. The official record ofhe portion of the speeoh referred to is asallows:

IMr. Jacobs— As fh« fWator from the Twen-

y-Rixth has seen fitto bring in pol'Mo npon nesolution affecting to Home extent the preßer-ation of our haalth, that the Republican ma-nrity in the Senate need not look for one mn.lent to Democratic division this fall, if it isle-esiary to Rucceed without Mr.Tilden.Mr.Besßions

—Have they an eye single t> the

inhlic <r»od?Mr. Jacobs

—Ypr! The Democracy of this

\u25a0Jtate can get along without Mr. Tilden. andhe Democracy of the country can get alongwithout him. and ifwe find itpolicy to nom-nate somebody else, somebody else willbelominated. because we mean to win in thinSection. We would sooner take a verygoodlepnblican, who loves his country better thanledoes his party, and make him President,ban submit to the corruptions and abuses ofho existing government. The Senator says Ilave pronounced myself an anti-Tilden man.[flam an anti-Tilden man it is because [dolot think be can be elected, and because Ithink;oo muoh of my country, even with the vener-ition and love Ientertain for Mr. Tilden. tompport a hopeless candidacy. Idonot believeFor a single moment that Mr.Tilden willbei candidate unless be thinks he can>c elected, and Ithink Ican say forthe delegation chosen to represent the De-mocracy of the Btnte at Cincinnati, that a largenajority willoppose the nomination of anyman that they think cannot be elected. Now.possibly, Imay be one of those who do not be-lieve that Mr.Tilden can be elected, but thereis plenty of time toconsider that question.

Mr. Woodin—

Then you must go for him.Mr. Jacobs

—Iwillnot support any man who

[ think cannot he elected.Mr. Woodin

—You are opposed to Tilden.

Mr.Jacobs—No, sir; Irepeat that Ihave the

hisrhest venerntion for him, and think he wasdefrauded out of the position to which he wasfairlyelected.

Mr. Woodin—Imean as a candidate for

President.Mr.Jacobs

—That is another thing. Now, yon

gentlemen who wear the collar—

is that thename?

—thnt wear the collar of Mr. Conkling,

take notice from us of the minority, that theharmonized Democracy are on hand, that theywill meet the common enemy and meet himwith a good man, a noble leader, a true pa-triot, a man devoted to the hest interests ofthe country, and that they willelect him, andthat when they have elected him he will takehis place at the head of the government atWashington.

These remarks, coming from the sourcethey did, have led to a great deal of com-ment, and are regarded as significant of aknowledge possessed by Mr. Jaoobs that Mr.Tilden has in contemplation the withdrawalof his name as a candidate for the Presiden-cy. While he does not say inexpress termsthat he will not support Til-den, he implies as much bythe remark that he willsupport no man whocannot be elected, and the insinuation thathe is of the belief that Mr. Tilden is one efthose who cannot be elected if nominated.He is further confident that the Democraticparty willbe united in November, and heknows very well that this result cannot beattained unless Tilden is removed from thefield.Itis not surprising that these utterances

should have created such a sensation. Ithasbeen the common supposition that the con-vention over which Mr. Jaoobs presided wasthe personal property of Mr. Tilden, andthat its action indicated the determinationof that gentleman to foreclose his mortgageon the nomination if itwas found possibleto do so. Itwould seem ,however, that theimplied adherence of the conven-tion to his canse

—for it was not distinctly

expressed—

was only contingent, and liableto be transferred to some other candidate incase itwas found impossible to seenre har-mony on the old man of Gratnercy park.If this should be the case a great manyDemocrats throughout the country wouldexperience feelings of intense gratification.The division in the party cannot be healedif Tilden presses his candidacy. A unioncould be had upon almost any other mannamed, end the Democratic party wouldmove forward to an ea-y victory.

PIUS NINTHSOCIETY.

This .Tempestuous Organisation tn Court—The Answer to the UoHanoi Party—Try-lug to Agree on the Faots and Wade Inon the Law.

The case of the State ex rel tbe PiusNinth Gatbolio benevolent society against

It. \V. Bell, late secretary, ThomasGonway, late treasurer, and P. H.Drum, late chairman of the board of direc-tors of tbe society, came before JudgeWilkin yesterday afternoon on a motion toshow cause why a writof mandamus shouldnot be granted compelling the late officers ofthe society to deliver the books, money andother property belonging to the sooiety nowintheir possession. The motion was heardat tbe chambers, Mr. Wm. Louis Kellyappealing in behalf of the relator, and Mr.J. J. Egan representing the interests ofthe other faction.

Tbe case was opened by Mr. Egan ,whoread the allegations of tbe complaint, a fullaccount of whioh appeared in a previousissue of tbe Globe. Mr.Egan then readthe answer to tbe complaint, whioh deniedthe allegation of the sooiety being a corpor-ation existing under the general laws of theState, owing to a defect in the by-laws, butthat the sooiety was organized solely forbenevolent purposes and to foster a spirit ofbrotherly love. Tbe answer denies that anysum in excess of $586 has ever been in thehands of the sooiety, and that such sum hasbeen under the control of the directors, andis represented by a certificate of deposit for$300, and shares of stock inthe HomeBuilding sooiety amounting to $286.

That there is no sum at present in thehands of said Gonway, treasurer, save fourand one-half dollars ;that all sums ofmoneycoming into his bands have been duly ac-counted for;they deny that the hall cornerof Tbird and Gedar street was the place ofmeeting on AprilIst, 1880, but that previousto that time the plaoe of meeting was dulyand regularly changed to the oorner of Sev-enth and Jackson streets ;defendants allegethat they have always faithfully and honest-ly discharged the duties of their respeotiveoffices and that they attended a regularmeeting of the sooiety on tbe first ThursdayinApril,1880. They deny that any validmeeting was held on the above date otherthan the one alluded to. They deny the al-legation that they ever deceived any of themembers or falsely summoned them to anyof the meetings. They deny the passage ofany resolution or aot of the society vacatingor removing them from their respectiveoffices.

They deny that Patrick McManns is act-ing president ofthe society, bnt allege thathe refused to serve in such capacity: theyadmit the allegation regarding the possessionof the books and allege that in retainingsaid property they are acting in accordancewith the by-laws of the society. They al-lege that they are the legal organizationknown as the Pins Ninth society, and thatrespondents have always acted in obedienoeto the rales of said society. They allegethat the proceedings are wholly unwarrant-ed and that they have been commenced forthe purpose ofsundering and disorganizingthe society.

The following is attached to the answerand bears tbe names of over eighty mem-bers of the society :

We, the undersigned, members of Pius NinthBenevolent society, hereby state that weadheretosaid society as organized and existing the22dday of April,ISBO, withR. W. Bell as secretary,Thomas G. Gonway as treasurer and P. H.Drum as chairman of the board of directors,against whom certain proceedings have beencom uienoed in the district court of Ramseycounty, and that said officers have acted ingood faith, obeying the rules and regulationsof said organizaiion and tbe duties imposedupon them at a regular meeting held AprilIst,1880. and as such we have full confidence intheir integrity and fidelity,and that each andall of ns, confidently and ingood faitb, believeinthe regularity and legality of all our pro-ceedings, and that we believe we constituteihe organization known as the Pius Ninth Be-nevolent society, and as such organizationMessrs. Bell, Gonway and Drumhave dischargedand are discharging the duties imposed onthem by the by-liws of said society.

Upon concluding tbe reading of the an-swer Mr.Egan addressed the court, com-mencing by referring to tbe allegations ofthe complainant, in alluding to whioh hesaid that itwas patent that the suit was com-menced for the purpose of trying the rightto office and that mandamus was not theproper course of procedure. He conoludedwith tbe remark that if the relator hadwanted the books bo should have resorted toan action in repl vin.

Mr. Kelly followed by alluding to the an-swer, which he said raised some very impor-tant questions, some of whioh involved theexistence of the society. The speaker saidthat inview of the complex character of tbecase itmight be well for himself and Mr.Egan to agree upon tbe faots and then ar-gue tbe points at issue. Mr.Egan said thathe represented a large number of personsand that they were anxious for a decision.After a short consultation tbe case was leftopen until 10 o'clock to-morrow morning, inorder to allow counsel an opportunity ofagreeing upon tbe faots.

THE IRISHLANDLEAGUE.

The Object of the Organization Clearly

Stated.The league was formed for the followingob-

ject s:First— To put an end to baok-renting, evic-

tion, and landlord oppression.To effeot suoh a radioal change in the land

system of Ireland as willput itin the powerof every Irish farmer to become the owner, onfair terms, of the land he tills.

The means by whioh itproposes to achievethese results, are: Organization amongst tbepeople and tenant farmers for purposes of self-defence.

(2) The cultivation of public- opinion bypersistent public exposure of the monstrousinjustice of the present system, and of itsru-inous xesults.

(3) A resolute demand for reduction of theexcessive rents wbioh have reduced the Irishpeople to a state of starvation.

(4) Temperate but firm resistance to oppres-sion and injustice.

Irishmen inAmerica can give moot effectualaid, first by enlightening American publioopinion as to the working of the landlord sys-tem, and by exposing, through tbe Americanpress, the oppressions and outrages which arepractised on the tenant farmers of Ireland.

Second—

By the immense moral influencewhich their support exerts on the people athome, encouraging tnem to be steadfast in thestruggle, and not to give way to despair.

Third—

By contributing sufficient money toenable the league to oarry the movement inIreland on a scale such as is necessary to in-sure success.

Up to the present, through want of money,the league has been obliged toconfine its ope-rations chiefly to a few counties. The pur-poses for which the funds are needed, are chief-ly two.

(1.) To enable the league to spread its orga-nisation throughout the thirty-two counties ofIreland.

(2.) To enable the league toaffordprotectionto those who are evicted fordoing its work.Already the league has been obliged to under-take the support of the families of the menwho were recently sentenoed to imprisonmentfor r«sist inn eviction inone of the famine dis-tricts.

The league appeals to the Irish in Americatoaid itin this great work, and with their as-sistance itwill undertake, withina short time,to destroy that fabrio of Irish landlordismwhich has for so many years been the curse ofour common country.

(Signed,) John Dillon,On behalf of the Irish National land league.No. 32 Park Place, New York, April 3, 1880.

To the American people:The land laws of Ireland constitute a mon-

ster grievance in that country. Under a systemot rack-rents, inmany cases 100 per cent, overtbe government valuation on which all publictaxation is based, itis impossible that tbe til-ler of the soil can gain from his labor, skill orcapital, even a bare means of living,bo that inperiods of partial failure of crops a famine asnow must be the result. Under this system toothe insecurity of tenure rendering evictioneasy, is a prevention of tbe full developmentof the resources of the soil, the tenant knowingthat improvements mean increase of rent ordispossession. The existence of absenteeismdrawing out of the country 8,000,000 poundssterling, annually, without the expenditure ofany portion thereof among the people who helpto earn it, is another of the evils complainedof.

These are inbrief the wrongs to be remedied,and the order and manner of the remedy arebriefly but pointedly explained by Mr.Dillonin the foregoing address. Believing in the jno-tice, humanity and patriotism of the objectsand purposes so set forth on behalf of theexecntive of the IrishNational Land league, theIrit-hNational Land league of New York citypledges its hearty co-operation and support tothe movement in Ireland, in the struggleagainst landlord tyranny, and indefense of anoutraged and long-suffering people. And weconfidently appeal to our fellow countrymenand to the justice and liberty loving citizensof allnationalties, for aid and sympathy in tbeendeavor to assist the people of Ireland to uproot and destroy that accursed parasite, thebody and soul destroying system of aliea landlaws, which overshadows and devours theland's prosperity, blights and withers thelabors and energy of tbe husbandman and istbe root and seed of poverty, pestilence andfamine. W. B. Wallace, Pres.

John Kenny, Secy.Irish National Land League, New York City.Tbe above have been adopted by the Land

league of St. Paul, which will hold its nextregular monthly meeting on thesecond Mondayin May.

CONKLING'S COLLAR.

It is Worn Cheerfully In/ the Entire NewYork Delegation to Vhicag't

—A Unani

mnttH Vote to be Cast for Grunt.|New York Special, April24.]

Some weeks ago itwas claimed at tbe Blameheadquarters in Washington that the Senatorfrom Maine could count upon receiving at leastfifteen votes from tbe New York delegation,which is pledged to support Gen. Grant at Chi-cago. The report wan received with generalincredibility here, but the parties who are mostactive in managing Gen. Grant's campaignthought itworth while to set inquiries on foottoascertain the present feelings and intentionsof the delegation. Tbe investigation has beenmade, and the results reached justify the as-sertion that there innot the slightest reason todoubt that Grant will receive the united voteof the New York delegation, for the first threeballots at least, and that with one or possiblytwo exceptions he willreceive their nndividedsupport as longas his name is kept before theconvention as a candidate. Of the seventy del-egates elected at Utica, twelve were originallyBlame men; all tbe rest were simon-pure disci-ples of Conkling, and hence reliable and un-failing workers of his will in the matter ofsupporting the ex President. Within the pastfortnight alltbe original Blame delegates haverepledged themselves to oarry out the Utica in-structions. Their committal to this course isde-cisive, and in tbe main perfectly satisfactory totbe Grant managers . Senator Schroeder says heconsideres himself in duty bound to vote withthe majority of the delegaton. Judge Robert-Ron, of the Twelfth assembly district, says thatalthough he was not personaly pledged atUtica to support Grant, he consideres his Hi-lent acceptance of a place on tbe delegationunder the instructions imposed as equivalentto a pledge, and he willstart in by supportingGrant. Husted and Woodin distinctly pledgedtheir word to vote withthe delegation, and sayit is ridicnlous to snppose they would be falseto their word, although their districts original-lyinstructed them to vote for Blame. Robert-son, Husted and Woodin make their livingout

of politics, and even ifthey felt inclined to actindependently of tbe instructions of the con-vention, itis not likely they would care to op-pose themselves at tbe onset to the will of themajority, and thus destroy the unanimity efthe delegation. Delegate Stivers, Wales, Dick-inson, James, Murray, Allen, and Sessionshave also reaffirmed, in the most positive man-ner, their intention to stand by the instruc-tions. The doubtful sheep inthe flock seemsto be AlbertDagzett of the Third district, whohappened to be absent from the conventionwhen the Chicago delegates were pledged, andwho a few days after asserted that he wouldnot vote for Grant under any circumstances.Itis understood that he has so far reconsideredthis resolution aa to consent to votefor Grant on the first ballot, but heconsiders that thereafter he is at liberty to votefor Blame, according to the expressed prefer-ence of tbe district be represents. The fact is,these men, excepting Daggett, made baste inthe convention to accept tbe decision of themajority, under the belief that if they did notdo so they would immediately be voted off thedelegation. Having thus committed themselvesthey don't intend to perpetrate political hari-kari by going back on their word and incur-ring the eternal enmity of the machine man-agers in the State. How long the delegationwillhang together on Grant cannot be statednow, but the Grant managers profess tobelievethat with the exception of Daggett and prob-ably of Sessions, the delegation will supportGrant as a unit as long an he is a candidate,

and. ofcourse, claim that he willbe nominatedon the first ballot.

Gen. Woodford, Chester A. Arthur and otherprominent propellers of the Grant boom, pro-fess to have a great contempt for tbe anti-Grant movement in this State. They denythat itis making any dangerous headwayamong the people, and think that so long as it*>only standard bearers are political theorists andambitious but vealy young men like the inde-pendent scralchers. it won't attract many de-serters. They call attention to the fact thitthe anti-Grant conclave whichmet in Albanythis week attracted verylittle attention.

The report sent out from Sioux City a fewdays ago to the effect that a throngh trainwas about to be put on from St. Paul toGounoil Bluffs and thai a Sunday train wouldalso be run, is in part incorrect. Tbe put-

ting on of a Sunday train, we understand,has not been thought of in arranging thenew time tables.

The new time table for the St. Paul &Sioux City road, to go into effeot next Mon-day, willprobably provide for the expresstrains leaving St. Paul and Sioux City inthemorning, instead of aa now in the afternoon.Close connections willbe made at Worthing-ton with fast trains for Sioux Falls.

A telegraphic dispatch below announcesthe bringing of a suit against some of tbeTennessee railroads which may prove inter-esting to some of tbe owners of Minnesotarailroads. The circumstances inMinnesotaand Tennessee are similar, but itis possiblethat our State's foreclosure and sale of itsroads may have relieved the owners of Min-nesota roads from the responsibility for theState aid bonds which is assumed to attachto the owners of the/Tennessee roads.

Nearly 2,000 emigrants, who arrived inBaltimore, on one veßsel, Sunday morning,left in the afternoon for the West in fourtrains. They are from Germany, Austria,Sweden and Norway, and are coming toMinnesota, Wisconsin and Nebraska.

An Unthought-ofDanger Averted.

One of our Chicago exchanges says:"Through the thonghtfulness of H. A. Beck-ler, of Rogers Park, what might have been asiokening railroad catastrophe was avertedSunday evening of last week. Two freight-oars, which had been side-tracked and thebrakes set, were put inmotion by the wind,and were forced out upon the main traok ofthe Northwestern road. Mr. Beckler, feel-ing bis way homeward through the intensedarkness, encountered the obstruction on thetrack, and immediately notified the stationagent. He had just time enough to placethe signal lights when the Green Bay expresstrain, which left tbe city at 9 o'clock p. m.,rounded tbe curve at a speed of nearly fortymiles per hour. Bat for Mr. Beckler'schance discovery of the obstruction therewonld have been an acoident which wouldhave taken rank with the Asbtabula catas-trophe or tbe Jackson horror."

Samuel J. Tilden'a Railroad.Tbe campaign talk of 1876, about Mr.

Tilden's being a railroad-wrecker wonld beadded to in 1880 ifhe should be again acandidate, by tbe story of the recent opera-tions in connection with tbe New York &Oswego Midland railroad. The road wasdesigned to make a new line through NewYork and New Jersey, with western connec-tion, for competition with the Erie and Cen-tral systems. But in1873 itwent into tbehands of receivers, one of whom is AbramS. Hewitt. In1876-'BO with the aid of thecourts the property was transfered to a neworganization, and the plan has now beennearly carried out. Omitting details oftbe plan, but premising that Mr. Jordan,Mr. Tilden's- agent, has the handling ofcash, stock and bonds, it is enough to stateresults. The property originally cost«s2l,--000,000. The new company, consisting ofTilden, Jordan, Hewitt and their friends, ob-tains the road for $15,000,000. Thenew company's capital is $50,--000,000. It will have theproperty and about $28,000,000 ofstock andcash assets and the parties named, holdingtbe controling interest, willnot have investedtoexceed $7,500,000. Tbe second bondholdersand stockholders of the old company havebean induced to furnish most of the moneyby tbe improbability of their otherwise re-taining any interest in the property. Theplan will be oonsumated the 14th of nextmonth, when tbe time of redemption ex-pires and the new company will then pro-ceed to carry out the original idea of makingthe Midland one of the great trunk lines.

The N.P. Yellowstone Division.The Bismarck Tribune states that over

500 men and 200 teams were sent out to workon the N. P. last week, that there are nowabout 1,500 men at work, and that the forcewillnumber 2,000 by Monday next. Traoklaying is being pushed at the rate of over amile a day, and the graders .are at work allalong to the LittleMissouri. Trains willberun to Green river by June 1

*Ist and to the

Little Missouri by Aug. Ist. At the latterdate the grading willbe nearly completed tothe Yellowstone, and there is no reason fordoubting that the track layers willreach theYellowstone before winter sets in. The ironon band, on the west side of the Mis-souri, will lay twenty- one miles of track,and enough more is at Bismarck,to be crossed, to complete thefirst 100 miles beyond the Missouri. Twoparties of locating and grading engineers areat work at the front and the company andcontractors seem united in the determina-tion to push things.

NAVIGATIONNOTES.

AtDuluth yesterday the temperature was60

°F., and the prevailing wind was from

the west. The ice field remained inshore,but was visibly lessening.

The steamer Far West arrived from belowat Bismarck at 8 p. m., Monday, and willpro-ceed to Benton this evening.

A Biamarck dispatch of yesterday statesthat the steamer Bachelor has not yet beenrun into the river.

The first ocean steamer which has beenbuilt inNew York for five years is now onthe stocks, and is intended for the New fork& Cbarlestown Steamship company. Shewillbe a propeller, and her dimensions areas follow*: Length, 278 feet; breadth, 21feet, and depth, 40 feet. She willbe namedthe City ofColumbia.

Th? winds on the Mississippi below, thepast few days, have interfered with the movements ofboats very considerably, though,so far as learned, noserious disasters have oc-curred to any of the craft running in the St.Paul trade.*. ;;' ?

The K. N. packet Belle of La Crossepassed LaCrosse at 5o'clock yesterday morn-ing and will be at the levee this morning,and leave on her return to St. Louis at mid-day. Capt. Mose Hall has the roof of theBelle while W. F. Rector is in the office.

The Josephi ne, of the Diamond Jo line,has been so delayed that she willnot arrivebefore sometime to-night.

The gauge yesterday showed six feetthree inches of water, a rise of one inch inthe previous twenty-four hours.

Shifting the River Channel.Perhaps the idea of shifting the Mississippi

river, through St. Paul, as advanced in theGlobe of yesterday, a half mile or more to

the right side of its ancient bed, may haveseemed to some readers a rather extravagantone. We are willing,however, to compromiseon the proposition toshift the whole river tothe right side of Coal, Raspberryand Harriet islands. The slough on that sidecould be converted by dredging intoa straight,deep chancel, sufficient to accommodate allthe waters of tbe river at highest flood times.The sand and clay dredged out would makethe levees on either shore with, some to spareitoward* fillingup tha present channel.

• The

coat of making the new channel and tillingopthe old one, including damages paid to thoseowning the islands and the owners of riversideproperty or privileged, would be amply madenp in the value of the land gained. Iftheimprovement was begun at or near the railroadbridge, the whole city front would be benefit-ed] and property on both sides of the riverwould be directly and largely enhanced invalue. The cost of bridf.es would be less-ened. Another advantage to be gained,and one well worthy of considera-tion, would be in the opportunityto improve upon the past experience of the cityby providing for allinterests and all classes ofbusiness, in Helling property and grantingprivileges on the new levees and .on the madelaud.

But, though we are willingtocompromise onthe proposition to shift the river only part way,we must retain the belief that the idea ofshifting itclear over to the foot of the Sixthward hills is the one which offerß the biggestmargins of profit. "There's millions in it,"for a fact.

KELLY'S KICK.

The Latest Pronundamento Against Til-den's Candidacy.

|New York Special, April23d.|John Kelly issued his anti-Tilden final

irrevocable manifesto to-night. Itwas ata large meeting of the Tammany generalcommittee, and was greeted by a storm ofapplause. John the bolter said:

"Ithas been tbe policy of oar enemies tomake itappear that Mr. Tilden is the mostformidable candidate the Democrats oanpresent; but they know he is the weakest.We have no quarrel with them for that.These gentlemen do not agree with as onprinciples or pablio policy, and we knowthat they willresort to all strategy to winsuccess for their party. Tbe Democraticpress ontside the city maytake their cue from the journalshere; they may suppose that whatthey see so often repeated is the truth; butall this is ohimerio. They will pass away,for truth always prevails in the end." Hethen briefly outlined the position of an-tagonism to Tilden and the reasons therefor."And now," be continued, "we say to thewhole country that if any Democratic con-vention, such as that which will[meet .atCincinnati,DBEAMS OF NOMINATINGMB. SAMUEL J. TILDEN

for the Presidency, so sure as that nomina-tion is made itwill be defeated by the De-mocracy of the country. [Applause.] Andwe say, further, to tbe delegates from thisState wbo are going to Cincinnati to urgehis nomination, ibat we willoppose him withall our strength and all onr might." [Ap-plause.] While tbe applause continued,Mr. Kellycast his eye to the press table,and, noting tbe eagerness with whiob hiswords were being taken down, raised hispowerful voice to its full strength and ex-claimed:

"Yes, put that down, you gentlemen oftbe press, sitting here. Ihope you willputitall down, and let it go out everywhere,and iftbe Associated Press can be reaohedto-night, let its thousand wires carry tbenews toevery town and village that has anewspaper, that it may be known how wehere

SAY TO THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY,

as its delegates willgather at Cincinnati,that if they should make Samuel J. Tildentbe Democratic candidate they must expectthe strong, the vigorous, and the energeticopposition of tbe Tammany Hall."[Enthusiastic applause.] Continuing,Mr. Kelly said that Mr. Tildenoffered tbe first example inthis history of tbe country of a man usingmoney to buy his nomination by a nationaconvention, and that if tbe people of thiscountry should elevate such a man to tbePresidency itwould be a shame and a dis-grace in which tbey would have no part.But he had too high an opinion of theAmerican people to believe that they wouldelect such a man. He believed therewas no chance for that man's nomination.Mr. Kelly then warmly eulogized SenatorBayard and Gen. Hancock, and mentionedin milder tones Uendricks, Thurman, Davisand Field. "Isit possible," be continued,"that tbe Democratic party cannot select itscandidate from suoh a list? If it is insuoh a state that itcannot live except byTilden, it should not live twenty-fourhours."
