Event« of exceptional intirest continue to occupy the «Irainatic wurl.l in Loodotl, In the general estimate «»1 the « urnut MBM., wliieh ap¡K*;trs in oureorn'SiMiii«leii<<*, it \sill be i»lt;i.s- nnt to our play-goert t«> find that Mr. Jotttt- ton coiiiinanils unabated popularity in his principal character. Not only in popular notions, hut in the work« of wriurs who uhuuM have been hitter informed, the history of the P_lftTÍB-t and the Paritans of New-KiiKland has bottj euiionsly confounded. A letter wliieh we ptint this iiiorniiiK d«)C8 jfootl service by thaw in- sliaijily the line« of distinction. While there is abundant evidence of the need of the East Kiver Bndge, and it w«nil«l be almost iminmsiblo to construct it at a gfBBtat elevation than as at prest nt planned, the complaint« as to its probable interf«*rt!ice with navigation do not make a stuun. chain of tentimony. The probability, on tho whol«*, aeems to be that in a few instancca. the work of lowering the masts of vessels patting under tho bridge will be troublesome and costly ; hut that in general there will be no -great difficulty in making the needful ar¬ rangements. At all events, the poBsiblo trouble to a few ships which tbo bridge may occasion is as nothing to the inconvenience which a grout public must suffer if it is not «con¬ structed. -¦» The impression in gaining ground that the Managers have the losing si«le in the Hclknap impeachment trial. The counsel employed by the ex-Secretary are making skillful use of the fact that he had ceased to be an official beforo the triul liegan. It will require an «BBUpBBtod display «if ¡il.ility on the piirt of tho Managers to meet the argument on this point, and to prowa that the power to impeach can bo e_- erted against private eiiizens. The British Liberals are still dissatisfied with the Queen's new tille. In tho House of «CoamMMM last evening Sir Hcniy Jumes dc- « la red he would move a vote of censure on the Ministry for breaking their promises in regard to the terms of tho royal proclamât ion. Mr. Disraeli promptly accepted this challenge, and name«! Thursday for the parliamentary coniliat. His prospects of being sustained by the House are good, but unless be has a fair majority on his tsulo he will probably resign. President Dillon of the Union Pacific Road replies to tho Judiciary Committee, but is not, prepared as yet to make a proposition for a sinking fund to cover the Company's liabilities to the, liovi-rninciit. He thinks that such B fund could not be safely s»'t aside by IS'.)? without th«« privilege to moimy to the «Government some parts «if the laud grant as part payment. He asks that the «Government will not «leal Oppressively, and give-, a variety «>f reasons urging a liberal eOUM in the matter.

He point-, ont thai tl.«* price paid for theOoTetnment bonds indi- eatee tHat a î peí een1 loan conld i»»' Boated« if it bad long enough to ran to make it ¦ per¬ manent Investment.

To manv Democrats it seems strange thai honest independí ills find it hard to tru.-t thai party. They claim that it should not be M responsible for the acts of lome foolish Bud soin«» «knavish membera« They admit «that it bas Bot succeeded «credit ibly in pra«clical leg¬ islation! but utge that, allowati.e should In- made ¡»»r «comparative inexperience! ;«ml «for the lack of that sobering sense of rosponri- bility which «complete power in both Houses would bring to worthy men. These claims have much justice and force, lint tiny «I.» not touch the chief cause of distrust« The Republican party has lo.-t coiiti.lencc, but tie- Democratic party has not gained it, lu-cause rotes of Democratic members reveal «the existence in thai «party <>f a powerful and apparently a glowing «lenient, t<> Which it would be in the last de¬ gree dangerous to intrust ihe power. For illustration, «take the vote on the motion of .Mr. Hobnail last Moinlay. It was a motion to repudíate a solemn pledge <>f the public faith. It WM a motion t«i r.-]i.-al, without con¬ dition or qualification,; the only act which «Con- greai has yet 1 nssed making any provision whatever for tin* redemption of «tbe dishonored notes «if the United Btatea, the continued us. of which as currency, without provision toglVC them stability of value or im«proved «credit) baa caused iBiBMiasiiialdc disaaters to industry ami commerce. Vet «one bnndred Democratic members Voted for this motion, and less than forty against it. Of nearly thirty who iefuscd to vote or WOTS absent, there are probably mor«' tha'in twelve who would «support tin- measure if forced to a final <!¦ < i-ion. Thus two-thirds of ÜM Hcinocrntic members have declared by their voles, or doobtleSS would «le- < la)«-, that they desire to r«-pmliate B pledge of the public faith, and t«) postpone resump¬ tion indefinitely, in Bnanee, as in parliament¬ ary law, indelinite postponement means ine- vocabie defeat. The number of these votes is «ven less «__g> nilicant than their locality. The policy of the Democratic party, from ils earliest «lays, has been controlled by the South. Kine Democrats from Southern States voted against the inolion «tf Mr. Hobnan.barely enough to show that the party in that section is m>t «juit«* unani¬ mous on the subject. Hut litty-seven Voted for the motion.nearly iiin» ty pat «MBit of the mem luis voting. All honor to the brave and true men who, like I.amar of Mississippi, Kehr of Missouri, Giban of Louisiana, ami others, stubbornly breast«-«! the torrent. It takes some courage to resist so poweiful a tendency in the party ami the section upon which the political future of a member dependa. lint not a single Democrat from seven of tho Southern States rotad against the motion. Fight from Virginia, two from West Virginia, live from Noitli Carolina, si*ven from Georgia, one from Florida, four from Alabama, one from Louisiana, two from Texas, two from Arkansas, eight from Tennessee, live from Kentucky, and twelve from Missouri voted for unqualified repudiation. Not a single Republican from tlio South voted with them. But tho Democrat« of the great West seem to bo equally unanimous in this matter. Only two of them dared to voto against the resolution ; twenty-eight voted for ¡«..eleven from Ohio, («even from Indiana, six from Illinois, two from Wisconsin, and ono each fioni Iowa and Kansas. The only Demo¬ cratic voto from Michigan was ngainst the motion, as from Mississippi at th« South. No Democratic votes were cast from Minnesota, Nebraska, or South Carolina, and the Demo¬ crats of Texas and Louisiana were divided in the vote. Hut from ten Southern and six Western States the Democratic mi inbeis were either absolutely unanimous, or M nearly so, that the preponderating Rintiinoiit rannot be niis- taki-i). These States cast lso electoral rotes. To thOM must be added Pennsylvania, with its 2'A votes, for eleven Democratic in« tubers from that State voted for the motion and only two ngainst it. Nor is thee any r.-ason tobo* lieve that the oveiv.helming sentiment of Democrats at the South and West will lack expression in the law States from those se«'- tions which were «divided or not pu sente«! in the vote on Monday. It will n.»t «-scape attention that these Stati s will not only si'inl a Large majority of «lel«'- gates to a national convention, but tlu-y will elect a large majority of the Démocratie mem¬ bers whenever that paity raecccdl in control¬ ling tii«* lions.-. In a word, they will control any Democratic caucus, any Démocratie House, and any Democratic Convention. Moreover, so powerful is the sentiment among Demo¬ crats of these States, that we find the resist¬ ance to repudiation perceptibly weakened lince tbe former vote in th<» House on ¦ similar motion. At that time, three Demo¬ crats from Michigan, lour from Texas«, three fiiii) Mississippi, five from lYnns-ilvania, and twelve from New-York Oppooed the motion ; now only one from MichigBB, t\»<» from Texas, two lio«.i MissJ«ssippia two from IVim-ylvania, ami six from New-York ara recorded <>n the right side. Borne member) «ere properly ab¬ sent, aad some «lodged. I'.ut it is becoming more clear every week tint the tendency toward inflatioa and repudiation is very strong within the Democratic party. Yet men iron* «1er why tii«! independent hesitate to trust it! TBE ALABAMA claims. a eorreapondeni put«, with some force this morning a point in reference t.» the ¿Uabassa mosey which has Im-í'd put betöre, yet has hardly received the attootioB ii deserves. The surplus of that sum, he sa\s, "belong! lo "<'rc.it Britain, and by «-very consideration of "linn «;y and fairaeei it ibould ba returned to "her." The amount <>f «the payment was the toti'l of the sep.uate accounts for damages for which the arbitrators held Créai Britain liable, and «tbe United States preseated the claims as tin-a:.*,nt of the individual owners, and re¬ ceived ill«- money in trust i»»r them. If bow it tains out, oa closer examioatioB by a court of our OWI creation, that Mime ol l!i«' claims were unfounded or « Uggemted, and that money consequently remsius on li.ltnl, it seems to follow M a matt"! of «nlltsi- that the umli-trüeit« .1 balance ought t«» be returned to Great Britain, »vim was induced to pay it by <>ur uulotentional mbuepresenta !i«»n-. In the «case of West agalast «the «United States, the «Court «>f Ctommiari»aneri of «Ala* iiaaia Claims said: mDom n«»t national cow* "testy ami good faith require of us to suppose " ih it Congress, in creatina this court, never "intended we should distribute tIns fand "other than for the purposes far which Great " llrituia supposed she wm psyiag it T For "instance, suppose Congress had < h.»-, n «to "keep hilf the fand and conven u into the "Treasury of the oatiim, <>r bad directed «this "eourt i.» distribnte i' among ihos»- whose «com- "lüt.i.il int. «itshad been injared by the tor- "lot and aliim cativl by tin- IBSUTgPUt uui«- "eis, or among those who had suffered h»-.s " by tin- depredations «>t rebel «cruisers «other "than the «Alabama, Florida, and ftlicnandoah.

An ¡m- portant clam <>» claims, admitted by Draal Britain, has not been passed BOOB by th<< court at all, the Act of Congres« withdmwi&g it from consideration. It is ;i well-settled ruh' of law that an insurer who has p.¡id the owner as for a «total losa entitled t.» i.- »abrogated m all the ri^ht-i of the aasured. In the Act constituting the CoUll of Alabama Claims, however«. «Congress chose, under the lead of a politician who exhibits eataaic ingenuity in ¡.citing his country into disgrace, to ignore this nniversally admitted principle, ami to provide tli.it BO insurer should receive any- tbing iiii'iss he «Could show that the sum of his losses on war risks during the whole period of the Rebellion exceeded tin* pre¬ miums. Not only was this a flagrant violation of the common rules of law and «equity, but it was opposed t«> the spiiit of oar agreement with Cieat Britain. The full claims of th»' Insurance companies wer." included in the " MM «if particular-" furnished by the agent of the United states at Geneva»and were con« sid.-red by the arbitrators in fixing the amount of the Indemnity. In fine, we have collected the money on these claims, and we cannot re¬ fuse to pay it over without rank dishonesty. our lirst duty, therefore, is to aasend the Act of 1*71 by allowing the excluded insurers to prora their claim«-. When th.y have been disposed of, if there is anything left.as no doubt there will be.honor requires lhat we should return it to the British Covcrniiiciit. THE CASE OE MR. SCHRECK. The bri«>f reports which the Associated Press has famished from «lav to «lay of the cxani- ination of the Selienck casB in Washington « 011- vey an Imperfect Idea of the «bift of the tea* liinony. It was probably Impossible to give, i:i tho space which the New-York morning papers could allow for a late télégraphie sum¬ mary, a s lietly faitliful accoiiut of the evi- «lence, iniicli of which was obtained with dilli- culiy on a close cross-examination. The clear nml biisiix s-s-lik«- Banner, for instance, in which Mr. Ib-witt, in his cross-examination «if Cen. Sehenck, brouglit out the real character «>f the ex-Minister's agreement with Hark, is only to be perceived by a leading of the full report. It is only from the full report, too, that wo can understand .Mr. Hewitt's able anal¬ ysis of .Schcnck's eOBBpUeated money transac¬ tions with Hark, from which it appears that Cen. Sehenck made a prolit by his original in¬ vestment in the mine, instead of a loss as lie declares. And we publish this morning MM extracts from tbe testimony upon auotlnr i»i»i_»t which Im« not yet been placed before the pub¬ lic in the proper light. Altogether it may bo said that the inquiry has been much less favor¬ able to Mes«rs. Park and Schenck than many of us have been led to believe. The Fisher correspondence which wo pub¬ lished on Wednesday will strengthen tho l-ad impression already created, for it directly at¬ tacks (.en. Srhenck's veracity in more than one particular, and shows that his connection with the mining company was much closer and more confidential than he hag been willing to admit. Then; is not likely to bo any further investigation, however, into this branch of the .abject Tho inquiry, which has already greatly overpassed its legitimate bounds, is s'.ib.stantially closed, and the raped will soon be before tho country. It wotthl bo a BMN waste «»f time at this stage of the «"ase to spec ulnto upon its precise nature; but unless the lust informed person-* at Washington are greatly deceived, it will brush away the mul¬ titude of irrelevant, matters with which the Schrnck-I'ürk-anil-Stowait party have iiicuiu- bered the lataat will leave the litigants in the lawsuit, to light out their battle in th«* courts, and will pronounce upon the «"«induct of the AaMtieBB «»Minister at London in serving M il» coy to a speiiilative company, for a consid¬ eration, the same vcnliet which has already been given b\ the common sense of the nation.

A I. CANVASS. We priai in other columns this morning tin» lust li.-tis of delegatee already fhoeoa to the National Conventions, with the Presidential prefereneea of each, which we have been able to construct troce the facts now acceeeible. It is qaite pOMJble that in some cases local news¬ papers hi cm re-poiulents niiiy have niisicpre- teated parttealac «I» legates, but in the main we believe the lists to be substantially accu¬ rate. Thpy show Got. Tilden clearly ahead in the Democratic race, with Handliche second and Bayard third. In the Bepoblieaa Convention il is clear, as it has been for tOBM weeks, that Mi. I'.lai.ie will inevitably hav»- tin: laigeet BBmbef Bf votes on the titst or second liiill.it. Whether this strength at the outset is likely, in the absence of a two-thirds rule, to prove as fatal to him as a similar standing under a two- thirds rule «lid to Mr. IVndlcton, in the Demo- t-iali» t'oiivention of lMtiH, r.'iii.iins to be MOB, His eertaifl ¦treagih, like that of all the other caiididati-s, has been overrated. He s«'«'tins to be rea.s«inably sure on the titst or 8«>conil ballot of about 135 out of the .ITS rcipiircil to nom¬ inate. A little over half th«; delegatee havo already bOBB chosen. If lie nhotild have e«ntally g«Mid luck with tho rest, ho would still bo a hundred or more votes short of the rt.piisito number. «Senator Morton stands next, and a fair «.stitnat«' of his strength se«*ms to give him about 00, Senator Conkling «-oines nearly or quit.* up to 80. Secretary li ris tow can fairly lay claim to about 48. The rest are not in the field.at least until these are killed off. The Hristow men assert, with special earnest¬ ness, that the list of delegates already com¬ mitted to their favorite give no clew to his real strength ; that the popular pressure» both at Cincinnati and throughout the coun¬ try, will be overwhelmingly for him, and that tho temper of the times is so unmistakable that even the machine poli¬ ticians will not daro to set themselves against it. This is an element in National Conven¬ tions on which there are no data for calcula¬ tion. Tor that matter there are no data at praeent for any political calculations. Harties have not been so chaotic for half a century. .^.-*-*«,-_. .- A^aaawbf . ' A SUGGESTION. -****»." 'Ihe Philftileliihia Inquirer strongly urges the reduction of the price of admission to the Ex¬ position from tifty to twenty-live cents, on the ground that the present chargo will virtually close the doors against hundreds of thousands of workingmen and their families. " The great " and, indeed, only value of the Exhibition," it says, ''is as an educator of tho mass of the " American people. It is not in any sense a u speculative ot stock-jobbing allair." If tho managers of the Exhibition look at it from this lilveral point of view, there can be littlo doubt that the price of admission will bo lowered, if not linmediati'ly, soon after the opening. Fifty cents is a small matter in itself, but the Ex¬ hibition, for purposes of study, or even for «.asnal examination, will require many visit», and few mechanics or laboring BWB can afford this «expense, added to that of car fare, food, etc. The Swedish and Spanish Covernnients and the people of France propose to send bodies of workmen to this country, at large ex¬ pense, to reap tho benefit «Of study in tins Exposition. H has been provided for the e«lu- eatioti and advantage of our own people; la- boring men have largely contributed the funds to establish it; yet by the exaction of a high éntranos foe this very clase will bo shut out. The closing of the granada on Sunday, how¬ ever justifiable from certain points Of view, will undoubtedly «deprive the great mass of the laboring population in Philadelphia ami the adjacent country of their chance to visit it. Why cannot some compromise be established, such as the lowering of the price on ¡i certain day of the week to a minimum rate! If the mill band or clerk must give it]) bis day's wagOS to visit the Exposition, at least let the «loors open to hiai at M small cost M possible. fifty cent » appear**, too, an extravagantly high rate for the admission of chililren, who certainly will find no such education else¬ where.

ap¡K*;trs in oureorn'SiMiii«leii<<*, it \sill be i»lt;i.s-nnt to our play-goert t«> find that Mr. Jotttt-ton coiiiinanils unabated popularity in his

principal character.

Not only in popular notions, hut in thework« of wriurs who uhuuM have been hitterinformed, the history of the P_lftTÍB-t and the

Paritans of New-KiiKland has bottj euiionslyconfounded. A letter wliieh we ptint thisiiiorniiiK d«)C8 jfootl service by thaw in- sliaijilythe line« of distinction.

While there is abundant evidence of the need

of the East Kiver Bndge, and it w«nil«l bealmost iminmsiblo to construct it at a gfBBtatelevation than as at prest nt planned, the

complaint« as to its probable interf«*rt!ice with

navigation do not make a stuun. chain of

tentimony. The probability, on tho whol«*,aeems to be that in a few instancca.the work of lowering the masts of vesselspatting under tho bridge will be troublesome

and costly ; hut that in general there will beno -great difficulty in making the needful ar¬

rangements. At all events, the poBsiblo troubleto a few ships which tbo bridge may occasionis as nothing to the inconvenience which a

grout public must suffer if it is not «con¬

structed.-¦»

The impression in gaining ground that theManagers have the losing si«le in the Hclknapimpeachment trial. The counsel employed bythe ex-Secretary are making skillful use of thefact that he had ceased to be an official beforothe triul liegan. It will require an «BBUpBBtoddisplay «if ¡il.ility on the piirt of tho Managersto meet the argument on this point, and to

prowa that the power to impeach can bo e_-

erted against private eiiizens.

The British Liberals are still dissatisfiedwith the Queen's new tille. In tho House of«CoamMMM last evening Sir Hcniy Jumes dc-« la red he would move a vote of censure on

the Ministry for breaking their promises inregard to the terms of tho royal proclamât ion.Mr. Disraeli promptly accepted this challenge,and name«! Thursday for the parliamentaryconiliat. His prospects of being sustained bythe House are good, but unless be has a fairmajority on his tsulo he will probably resign.

President Dillon of the Union Pacific Roadreplies to tho Judiciary Committee, but is not,

prepared as yet to make a propositionfor a sinking fund to cover the Company'sliabilities to the, liovi-rninciit. He thinks thatsuch B fund could not be safely s»'t aside byIS'.)? without th«« privilege to moimy to the«Government some parts «if the laud grant as

part payment. He asks that the «Governmentwill not «leal Oppressively, and give-, a variety«>f reasons urging a liberal eOUM in the matter.

DIS1EI si JUSTIFIED.To manv Democrats it seems strange thai

honest independí ills find it hard to tru.-t thaiparty. They claim that it should not be h« Mresponsible for the acts of lome foolish Budsoin«» «knavish membera« They admit «that itbas Bot succeeded «credit ibly in pra«clical leg¬islation! but utge that, allowati.e should In-made ¡»»r «comparative inexperience! ;«ml «forthe lack of that sobering sense of rosponri-bility which «complete power in both Houseswould bring to worthy men. These claimshave much justice and force, lint tiny «I.»not touch the chief cause of distrust« TheRepublican party has lo.-t coiiti.lencc, but tie-Democratic party has not gained it, lu-causerotes of Democratic members reveal «theexistence in thai «party <>f a powerfuland apparently a glowing «lenient, t<>

Which it would be in the last de¬gree dangerous to intrust ihe power.For illustration, «take the vote on the motionof .Mr. Hobnail last Moinlay. It was a motionto repudíate a solemn pledge <>f the publicfaith. It WM a motion t«i r.-]i.-al, without con¬

dition or qualification,; the only act which «Con-greai has yet 1 nssed making any provisionwhatever for tin* redemption of «tbe dishonorednotes «if the United Btatea, the continued us.

of which as currency, without provision toglVCthem stability of value or im«proved «credit)baa caused iBiBMiasiiialdc disaaters to industryami commerce. Vet «one bnndred Democraticmembers Voted for this motion, and less thanforty against it. Of nearly thirty who iefuscdto vote or WOTS absent, there are probablymor«' tha'in twelve who would «support tin-measure if forced to a final <!¦ < i-ion. Thustwo-thirds of ÜM Hcinocrntic members havedeclared by their voles, or doobtleSS would «le-< la)«-, that they desire to r«-pmliate B pledgeof the public faith, and t«) postpone resump¬tion indefinitely, in Bnanee, as in parliament¬ary law, indelinite postponement means ine-vocabie defeat.The number of these votes is «ven less «__g>

nilicant than their locality. The policy of theDemocratic party, from ils earliest «lays, hasbeen controlled by the South. Kine Democratsfrom Southern States voted against the inolion«tf Mr. Hobnan.barely enough to show thatthe party in that section is m>t «juit«* unani¬mous on the subject. Hut litty-seven Votedfor the motion.nearly iiin» ty pat «MBit of themem luis voting. All honor to the brave andtrue men who, like I.amar of Mississippi, Kehrof Missouri, Giban of Louisiana, ami others,stubbornly breast«-«! the torrent. It takes some

courage to resist so poweiful a tendency inthe party ami the section upon which thepolitical future of a member dependa. lintnot a single Democrat from seven of thoSouthern States rotad against the motion.Fight from Virginia, two from West Virginia,live from Noitli Carolina, si*ven from Georgia,one from Florida, four from Alabama, one

from Louisiana, two from Texas, two fromArkansas, eight from Tennessee, live from

Kentucky, and twelve from Missourivoted for unqualified repudiation. Not a

single Republican from tlio South voted withthem. But tho Democrat« of the great Westseem to bo equally unanimous in thismatter. Only two of them dared to voto

against the resolution ; twenty-eight voted for¡«..eleven from Ohio, («even from Indiana, sixfrom Illinois, two from Wisconsin, and ono

each fioni Iowa and Kansas. The only Demo¬cratic voto from Michigan was ngainst themotion, as from Mississippi at th« South. NoDemocratic votes were cast from Minnesota,Nebraska, or South Carolina, and the Demo¬crats of Texas and Louisiana were divided inthe vote. Hut from ten Southern and sixWestern States the Democratic mi inbeis were

either absolutely unanimous, or M nearly so, thatthe preponderating Rintiinoiit rannot be niis-taki-i). These States cast lso electoral rotes.To thOM must be added Pennsylvania, withits 2'A votes, for eleven Democratic in« tubersfrom that State voted for the motion and onlytwo ngainst it. Nor is thee any r.-ason tobo*lieve that the oveiv.helming sentiment ofDemocrats at the South and West will lackexpression in the law States from those se«'-

tions which were «divided or not i« pu sente«!in the vote on Monday.

It will n.»t «-scape attention that these Stati s

will not only si'inl a Large majority of «lel«'-gates to a national convention, but tlu-y willelect a large majority of the Démocratie mem¬

bers whenever that paity raecccdl in control¬ling tii«* lions.-. In a word, they will controlany Democratic caucus, any Démocratie House,and any Democratic Convention. Moreover,so powerful is the sentiment among Demo¬crats of these States, that we find the resist¬ance to repudiation perceptibly weakenedlince tbe former vote in th<» House on ¦similar motion. At that time, three Demo¬crats from Michigan, lour from Texas«, threefiiii) Mississippi, five from lYnns-ilvania, andtwelve from New-York Oppooed the motion ;

now only one from MichigBB, t\»<» from Texas,two lio«.i MissJ«ssippia two from IVim-ylvania,ami six from New-York ara recorded <>n theright side. Borne member) «ere properly ab¬sent, aad some «lodged. I'.ut it is becomingmore clear every week tint the tendencytoward inflatioa and repudiation is very strongwithin the Democratic party. Yet men iron*«1er why tii«! independent hesitate to trust it!

THE CASE OE MR. SCHRECK.The bri«>f reports which the Associated Press

has famished from «lav to «lay of the cxani-

ination of the Selienck casB in Washington « 011-

vey an Imperfect Idea of the «bift of the tea*liinony. It was probably Impossible to give,i:i tho space which the New-York morningpapers could allow for a late télégraphie sum¬

mary, a s lietly faitliful accoiiut of the evi-«lence, iniicli of which was obtained with dilli-culiy on a close cross-examination. The clearnml biisiix s-s-lik«- Banner, for instance, in

which Mr. Ib-witt, in his cross-examination «ifCen. Sehenck, brouglit out the real character«>f the ex-Minister's agreement with Hark, isonly to be perceived by a leading of the fullreport. It is only from the full report, too,that wo can understand .Mr. Hewitt's able anal¬ysis of .Schcnck's eOBBpUeated money transac¬tions with Hark, from which it appears thatCen. Sehenck made a prolit by his original in¬vestment in the mine, instead of a loss as liedeclares. And we publish this morning MMextracts from tbe testimony upon auotlnr i»i»i_»t

which Im« not yet been placed before the pub¬lic in the proper light. Altogether it may bosaid that the inquiry has been much less favor¬able to Mes«rs. Park and Schenck than many

of us have been led to believe.The Fisher correspondence which wo pub¬

lished on Wednesday will strengthen tho l-adimpression already created, for it directly at¬

tacks (.en. Srhenck's veracity in more than one

particular, and shows that his connection withthe mining company was much closer andmore confidential than he hag been willing to

admit. Then; is not likely to bo any furtherinvestigation, however, into this branch of the

.abject Tho inquiry, which has alreadygreatly overpassed its legitimate bounds, is

s'.ib.stantially closed, and the raped will soon

be before tho country. It wotthl bo a BMNwaste «»f time at this stage of the «"ase to speculnto upon its precise nature; but unless thelust informed person-* at Washington are

greatly deceived, it will brush away the mul¬titude of irrelevant, matters with which theSchrnck-I'ürk-anil-Stowait party have iiicuiu-

bered the lataat will leave the litigants in thelawsuit, to light out their battle in th«* courts,

and will pronounce upon the «"«induct of theAaMtieBB «»Minister at London in serving Mil» coy to a speiiilative company, for a consid¬eration, the same vcnliet which has alreadybeen given b\ the common sense of the nation.

quit.* up to 80. Secretary li ristow can fairly

lay claim to about 48. The rest are not inthe field.at least until these are killed off.The Hristow men assert, with special earnest¬

ness, that the list of delegates already com¬

mitted to their favorite give no clew to hisreal strength ; that the popular pressure» bothat Cincinnati and throughout the coun¬

try, will be overwhelmingly for him,and that tho temper of the timesis so unmistakable that even the machine poli¬ticians will not daro to set themselves againstit. This is an element in National Conven¬tions on which there are no data for calcula¬tion. Tor that matter there are no data at

praeent for any political calculations. Hartieshave not been so chaotic for half a century.

'Ihe Philftileliihia Inquirer strongly urges thereduction of the price of admission to the Ex¬

position from tifty to twenty-live cents, on theground that the present chargo will virtuallyclose the doors against hundreds of thousandsof workingmen and their families. " The great" and, indeed, only value of the Exhibition,"it says, ''is as an educator of tho mass of the" American people. It is not in any sense au speculative ot stock-jobbing allair." If thomanagers of the Exhibition look at itfrom this lilveral point of view, therecan be littlo doubt that the priceof admission will bo lowered, ifnot linmediati'ly, soon after the opening. Fiftycents is a small matter in itself, but the Ex¬hibition, for purposes of study, or even for«.asnal examination, will require many visit»,and few mechanics or laboring BWB can affordthis «expense, added to that of car fare, food,etc. The Swedish and Spanish Covernnientsand the people of France propose to sendbodies of workmen to this country, at large ex¬

pense, to reap tho benefit «Of study in tins

Exposition. H has been provided for the e«lu-eatioti and advantage of our own people; la-

boring men have largely contributed the fundsto establish it; yet by the exaction of a highéntranos foe this very clase will bo shut out.

The closing of the granada on Sunday, how¬ever justifiable from certain points Of view,will undoubtedly «deprive the great mass of thelaboring population in Philadelphia ami theadjacent country of their chance to visit it.

Why cannot some compromise be established,such as the lowering of the price on ¡i certainday of the week to a minimum rate! If themill band or clerk must give it]) bis day's wagOSto visit the Exposition, at least let the «loors

open to hiai at M small cost M possible.fifty cent » appear**, too, an extravagantly

high rate for the admission of chililren, whocertainly will find no such education else¬where. As yet wo have h«-ard of no arrange¬

ments for half priée or discount on schooltickets* «Ice. Some such arrangements willcertainly, We presume, be mad«'. Largo niiin-

beri of visitors will Otherwise leave theirchildren at home, and schools will be debarredaltogether from going.
