Then he wouldn’t have to take his chances of entertaining an inter viewer unawares. The secret of this agreeable change in the weather is announced from Boston. The wind ceased blowing from the East. A New York Herald weather map couldn’t put the matter more plainly. The newspapers of the stale speak very highly of the fitness of Hon. D. Waldo Lincoln for the presidency of the Boston and Albany railroad corporation. His con specuous qualifications for this important post left no room for doubt as to the course of the corporation In the event of President Chapin’s resignation. Theodobe Tilton makes a statement to the effect that he knows of no efforts towards a reconciliation between himself and Mrs. Tilton, and that he had nothing to do with the publication, preparation or origination of her “quickened conscience” letter. The newspaper attempt to revive the scandal has fallen flat, and it would seem that the gen eral public will take very little interest In what Plymouth Church may or may not do about it. The European dispatches serve to confuse rather than enlighten the seeker after in formation as to the prospect of a settlement between England and Russia. The prospect for a congress seems to be a little better; but the sending of troops from India to Malta has an exceedingly warlike suggestion. It is slated, however, that the supporters of the government regard it as only a natural ac companiment of the other precautionary measures, and not indicative of a belligerent inclination. The opponents of the govern ment regard it as another step in the development of a warlike policy. Democratic Prospects. We publish today in another column a severe but just article from the New York Sun on the lamentable lack of brains under the bats of the acknowledged Democratic leaders. When the result of the electoral commission’s sittings was first an nounced to the public the Democratic masses were inclined to think that they had been sold out by their leaders; but the course pursued by the Democratic spokesmen since that time has had the effect of causing the majority of the party to adopt the more char itable conclusion that their leaders were sim ply outwitted in the game by which the question of the presidential succession was decided. It will be remembered that the once-reverend Garfield explained that tbe reason why the Republicans succeeded in getting the presidency for Hayes was that they “held tbe cards.” It is true that they got possession of the cards, but it is also true that all tbe winning cards were at one time in the possession of the Democrats. Be fore the electoral commission was created tbe Republicans claimed that the president of the Senate bad power to decide which electoral votes should be counted and which should not, and on the validity of this claim they bung their only hope of being able to inaugurate Hayes. While tbe proposition for an elec toral commission was under discussion Senators Conkling, Endmunds and other leaders of tbe Republican party made strong speeches in which they held that tbe president of tbe Senate bad not tbe power claimed for him by Chandler and the other manager in behalf of Hayes. Then was the time when tbe Democratic party “held tbe cards.” Tbe Democratic leaders should have taken the position that the president of tbe Senate had power to act ouly as teller iu tbe electoral count, should have quoted the strong speeches of tbe Re publican leaders In support of that position, and should have rejected tbe proposed elec toral commission. The Inevitable result would have been tbe inauguration of Til den. But the men who acted In behalf of the Democratic party were unable to appreciate the advantages of tbe occasion, and with unconscious and happy stupidity they walked Into a trap which tbe Republicans had set for them. Since tbe Inauguration of Hayes tbe course of tbe Democratic leaders has been as unsatisfac tory to the party as their stupendous blunder was unwelcome. Tako any Intelligent mem ber of tbe party, who is not hampered by eonslderailous concerning bls Individual political ambitions, and ask him wbat would have been tbe proper course for tbe Demo- crats in Congress to pursue towards the ad ministration, and he would without hesita tion mark out a better and more manly pol icy than that which our Congressmen have followed. The main features of that policy would have been somewhat as follows: No childish opposition to the administration in any good work, but a hearty support; no bargaining with the administration for any object whatever; no taking sides with either faction of the Republican party on any question of dispute, except when dictated solely by regard for the public good; no accepting of offices or favors from the administration; and tbe total ostracism of any self-styled Democrat who should accept an office or a favor from the administration. If such a policy had been adopted and pursued by the Democrats in Congress the party would have found itself in 1880 united and able to win the contest with ease. But the policy—or rather the want of policy—of tbe Democratic Congress men, their readiness to make bargains with Hayes, their greed for such favors as he was willing to bestow for considerations which they could give, their willingness to be used as tools for tbe concealing of tbe methods employed by the Republicans in obtaining tbe necessary electoral votes for Hayes—all these things have put the Democratic masses in a mood which indicates rather that they will make little effort to win the next Presiden tial contest than that they will take up the fight in a spirit that will make success a cer tainty. To be cheated out of a victory in consequence of tbe big beadedness of their leaders was dispiriting enough. To be hu miliated by the discreditable policy pursued by these men since the presidency was lost through their stupidity is enough to take about all of the remaining spirit out of the rank and file of the party. NOTE AND COMMENT. And now alleged Spring lamb with mint, on tbe table, has become a lamb-mint-table fact. “Economy is the road to wealth,” and we begin to suspect that it is tbe one which has no turning. Perhaps it is only a theological ruse of the devil to make Beecher change his mind on the subject of hell. See here I Let’s drop this William and Mary business till the Theodore and Eliza beth affair is settled. Bismarck writes with a pencil fifteen inches long,—from which we infer that Evarts writes with a ten-foot pole. Hardly have we passed the season of poems on the Beautiful Snow, when out comes a new poem on “The Maiden’s No.” We command a halt! “Senator Burnside drives a T cart.” In order to properly carry out the idea he should wear a P jacket and an I glass, and be an L of a fellow generally. A fashion item says that coat sleevesjare still very popular,—which effectually knocks our cherished plan of getting another sea son’s wear out of tbe old linen duster. If Beecher had been a country parson, starved on a diet of lean souls and ground down by donations and that, sort of thing, perhaps he wouldn’t have been so frisky. “Against this long and tortuous career 1 oppose my uniform and unimpeachable truthfulness,” says Beecher. Uis uniform? —but, come to think, be has recently been made a militia chaplain. “Several thousand years ago seven persons engaged in a deadly combat in what is now Lyons, Ky. Their skeletons, just unearthed, show by the attitudes that they were fighting when they died.”. But why continue to pub lish items calculated to retard southern emi gration? Let by-gones be by-gones; what the country wants is reconciliation —genuine recocyiation. ECHOES OF THE DAI.

The crime ot Mr. Beecher has preached a sermon more impressive than any ever de livered from his pulpit. He has written a testimony to be read of all men, showing the danger of departing from the old land marks of religion that have been placed on tbe highway of life by men whose wind and example the world will uot willingly let die, and whose wisdom, despite ihe attacks of infidelity and rationalism and socialism and all the isms of latter day philosophers, now shines in bolder relief than ever before. — Philadelphia Times.

The Want of Brains in tbe Democratic Party. New York Sun. The Democratic leaders feel so sure of the Presidency at tho next election that they think it matters not wbat course they pur sue in tbe intermediate time. They con sider that they start out iu the contest with a solid South in their favor, and that against such tremendous odds it will be in vain for the Republican hosts to contend. That the Democrats have greatly the ad vautag. in tbe preference for their party throughout all the old slave states is unde niable; yet hardly any odds are so great that they cannot be thrown away. Tbe dis satisfaction among the Democratic masses at tbe failure to inaugurate Mr. Tilden is not only general but Intense. We know that it is common in this state for Demo crats to say: “What is the use of going to the polls?" We elected one man, and then couldn’t get him in.” And tbe distrust felt toward all those who were concerned in throwing away tbe election by agreeing to the electoral commission seems likely to be permanent. If a majority of the Democrats in Con gress are iound, no matter how, consenting to tbe retention of the Presidency by Mr. Hayes at the end of the term, it would uot surprise us to find the Democratic voters so disgusted with the want of brains, or the want of fidelity, or both, in the Kaders, that they would let the next Presidential election go by default. Tne Republican party is not dead yet. THE LATE WILLIAM M. TWEED. An Incident of Ills Career Related by a Resident of Cincinnati. Cincinnati Enquirer. A gentleman ot this city, formerly a resi dent of New York, yesterday related to an Enquirer representative an Incident of the career of the late Boss Tweed. “I bad,” said the gentleman,“an up-town office,for the care of which I had engaged an Irishman re cently arrived in this country, who made his visits regularly each morning, sweeping the office, building fires, etc. He was a quiet, industrious fellow, but four months over the waters, and evidently with but few friends or acquaintances in the city. One day he failed to come, but in his place came another man, who performed the morning duties, staling that Pat was sick. The next morning be camo again, and tbe next and the next, until I concluded that Pat was really sick and might be in want, and so concluded to look him up, which I did. I found him down in the “Swamp,” living in tbe fourth story of a tenement building, bis family occupying but a single room, and evidently in absolute poverty, having had, as I soon after learned, but the small sum paid for the care of my office—an hour’s work per day—for the sustenance of himself and family. I inquired after bis condition, and finding that be was really sick, offered him money and any assistance I could ren der him. “Ob, no,” said be. “I don’t need anything now; tbe Boss has been here.” “Who is the Boss?” said I. “I don’t know his other name,” he said, only they call him the Boss, and he is a very kind gentleman, and says I shan’t suffer for anything while I’m sick.” While we were talking tbe Boss entered. He was a large, tine looking man, quiet, dignified, and well dressed, and I thought at first a clergyman. He was accompanied by some men carrying a good bed, table, and other furniture, to make the room look com fortable, and a quantity of provisions—flour, meat, sugar, tea, etc. —enough to last the family for a considerable time. He paid no attention to me, but entered into conver sation with the sick man and theu with tbe wife, who, overcome with gratitnde, seized bis band and covered it with kisses and tears of gratitude, meanwhile showering upon him her thanks and blessings. He continued his conversation with them, ad vising and telling them they should want for nothing, and was about leaving when I addressed him, assuring him of my gratitude on behalf of the unfortunate mau and proposing to share with b|m the care of tbe invalid and bis family as far as my means would allow, stating at the lame time iny relations with tbe man in question. “Your |offer," he replied, “is very kind aud one uot at all ^common, but I have taken charge of tbe matter, and you need give yourself no further trouble. They shall want lor nothing,” and without fur ther remark be departed. 1 continued, how ever, to send Pat bls little weekly salary un til he recovered, when he returned lo my employ. One day I questioned him in regard to bis benefactor, when be told me bad learned that his name was Tweed, com monly known as tbe “Boss,” aud, said he, “be is the Boss for kindness, for he never let me want for anything while I was sick.” Wbat Tweed’s object was In this,or whether it was anything more than simple generosity, 1 don’t pretend to say, Tbe man had only been over four months, aud would uot be a voter lor four and one-half years,and it could uot have been bis vote that the “Boss” was working for at so early a day In bls lite in America.
