" FRIDAY, JULY 12, 18677 Tbe Coming Campaign a Contest for Principles Mot Men. Whatever may be the faults of the Demo cratic party and who, having read its record, an deny them to he great and almost traitor. oub? we certainly cannot put among them the charge of stupidity in political manamvring. The leaders who control its movements are not ignorant men nor fanatics ; they are educated schemers, and having to deal with a throng of followers having blind coufldonoe in their ability, have been enabled to keep the party organization afloat amid the moat disastrous storms. Their wisdom has never been better exemplified than in the manner in which they Are seeking to conduct the present campaign 'n our State. Aware, as well as we, that the record of the Demooracy is Buch that, if it be kept before the people, cortain and utter .defeat mast follow, they are seeking skil fully to divert attention from the party itself, and centre the eyes of the citizens on their candidate; With great skill they have selected a very excellent gentleman for the standard bearer, and they now Beek to make him carry the platform, instead, as heretofore, of making the platform bear up the candidate. We have sketches of Judge Sharswood pub lished in all the journals, incidents of his life and eulogies on his character, but einoe the day of the Convention not a Democratio paper in any portion of our State has laid the plat form before the people. The scheme is trans parent. It is the intention of the wire-pullers to keep the platform in the background until me popularity necessary is manutacturea troin Judge Sharswood, by means of his personal character, and then, when the time arrives, the unsound doctrines of the Demooracy may be safely laid on his shoulders. Certainly a very ingenious device, but one which will hardly blind the people of our Commonwealth people who have ever voted for principle, not for personal favoritism. A very few words will serve to show that the design of the Democracy is utterly false, that the fight is not a personal one, but one in which the high issue of national policy is involved. But whether Judge Sharswood or Judge Williams is elected U really of no such great moment to the Judiciary, but our oppo nents would seek to use a legal victory as a means of gaining prestige in the political contest of next year. They are urging that we ought not to allow politics to corrupt our Judiciary. Yet they know if through this ory they be successful, the victory will be ascribed to a change in the politics of the people, and used as a precursor of victory in the Presiden tial election. The present oontest is as muoh a political one as the election of members of Congress, and any Republican who would not Tote for a Democrat as his representative, should not vote for Judge Sharswood in Octo ber next. One is as much a question of the success of principles as the other. To show that the fight is really one of national policy, and not of personal character, it is only necessary to oompare the two can didates. Judge Sharswood is an honorable gentleman, bo is Judge Williams. Our candi date is just as learned, just as able, just as excellently qualified as theirs. No one can utter a reproach against him. The partisan press, never noted for sparing a flaw in the character of its opponents, has failed to find a vulnerable point in which to attack his character. They tell us that Judge Shars wood is a good man, and that even the Repub licans can find no fault with him personally. We grant it willingly, but add that Judge Williams is just as good, and that the Demo cracy can detect no spot on which to make an assault. So far as character is concerned, one candidate is juBt as good as the other. Both are sound, upright, learned, and experienced, and either would doubtless, personally, be an ornament to the Supreme Bench. But in addition to personal merit, in which we certainly have an equality, our candidate stands far ahead of his opponent, in a live appreciation of the issues and wants of the day, and a firm and tried patriotism, In which in our darkest hours he was never found wanting. Our nominee 1b fully able to grasp the great progress made within the past decade and having a heart full of sympathy with ad vancement and freedom, will not ignore the decision of the war, and debate questions settled by the sword. In Judge Sharswood's ability to grasp such issue we have no confi dence. He dates his logio in ante-war days, and stands by exploded theories long sinoe .coffined by the decision of the bayonet Having thus an equality in personal merit, and a superiority In sympathy with the living present, the intelligent voter should look care fully to seek a cause for supporting one and op posing the other. And what better guide can be selected than the political principles of the party which places each forward as Us repre tentative f Let the platforms be compared, for In their relative merits the real ground for sRUDPort must be found. Looking at them dis rijflinatingly, we see Judge Williams standing .on one composed of the broad plauks justioe, protection, and a permanent Union; while JS Sharswood supports one whkh 1b shifting, time-serving catering prejudice, opposed to equal Justice, favoring admitting Rebels without guarantees, and aosuoiiug to support protection when all its representatives have voted against It. One party glories in its record, its ' earnest support . of , the , war, Its determined lova - of right and - freedom, ' nd " ita determination to so plaoe traitors that their rebellious spirit must In tbe futare consume itself, having no opportunity for disturbing the national repone. The other Is afraid to open the whitened sepulchre, stands trembling lest its record should be revealed, and seeking to hide itself behind the person of one respectable member. The attitudes of the two organiza tions, the tone of their declarations, and the principles enunciated by each, need but to be compared to show our people that he who votes for Judge Sharswood votes for the tri umph of Vallandigham, Wood, Reed and In gersoll, as much as though he had supported them in 1803. The same political parties con tinue to-day, the same fight is still progressing, the issues to be settled are but a continuation of those four years ago contested, and vlo tory of the Demoorats to-day would be re ceived with joy by those who shook hands and congratulated each other when the news of Bull Run, Big Bethel, and McClellan's retreat was received. With candidates equal in per sonal merit, the fight is on the principles of the parties. Choose you this day whioh you will serve: whether it will be the party that carried us safely through the war, and will carry us to a peaceful termination; or the one which tried to defeat our armies, and now teaks to reinstate traitors ? Representation for Minorities. The amendment offered in the Senate to the Supplementary Reconstruction bill by Senator Buckalew, providing for what he terms "cumulative" voting that is, allowing each voter to vote for as many Representatives in Congress as his State may be entitled to, and to distribute these votes among the candidates as he may choone, either all for one, or part for one and part for another, or in any other way relates to a reform which is daily attract ing the attention of careful thinkers. Its object is to give the minority its due voioe in the making of laws. Mr. Buckalew remarks that rule by the people, and not a mere ma jority rule, is the true principle of our Govern ment. Acoording to our present political arrangements, the minority has very little voice in the Government. The principle ad vocated by these reformers is that the ma chinery of government shall be so arranged that every man may be represented. For in stance take a State Legislature consisting of one hundred members. If the State Is divided politically into three-fifths Republicans and two-fifths Democrats, the representation ought, according to this plan, to stand sixty Repub licans to forty Democrats. Many plans have been suggested to accom plish this end, and among them is this of Mr. Buckalew. In the recent election of members of the Constitutional Convention in New York, the delegates at large, comprising quite a large portion of the Convention, were chosen upon a general ticket, each voter being allowed te vote for only half of the whole number to be chosen. This enabled the Democrats to choose one-half these delegates, something which they could not otherwise have doue. There are many very strong arguments which might be advanced in favor of the re form proposed. It does not do away with the rule of the majority, but it gives the minority chance to be heard, and to be represented according to its numbers. Should it be adopted, it would render extensive changes necessary in our present system, among others the abolition of the veto power. The single district system of electing representatives would also have to be modified in some man ner. The subject is a fruitful one, and will bear thought. The Reconstruction Rill in the Senate. The Senate yesterday passed Mr. Trumbull's Supplementary Reconstruction bill. It differs considerably in its details from -that passed by the House the day before. The two bodies will now appoint a Committee of Conference, and some bill combining the features of both will probably be the result. The work of the session will then be finished, and Congress will adjourn. The House has already adopted resolution for adjournment to the 11th of November. Whether the Senate will agree to this remains to be seen. Contradictkd. The report of Russia's pro posal for a joint inquiry on the part of Russia, France, and the United States as to the state of affairs in Ireland, is denied from London. It looked like a hoax in its face originally. But why should Russia not make such a pro posal f The oondition of Ireland is certainly bad enough, and Great Britain long ago set the example of interfering with the affairs of other nations. Let us have the Russian in vestigation, by all means. It may now be considered as fixed that the murderess lirirtget Durean will be executed in "ew Jersey on the 30th of next month, accord in to the sentence passed upon her by Judge ' reaenburtr.

The different tenure oa which nesro slavery exiMs in Brazil from that on which it formerly existed in the United States, may be judged by the fact that the bead of the State can utter himsell In this way.

The Slate De partment cannot only accept In-ult with an un ruffled lempT, but It Is apparently rather fond of it, and can be frowned and bullied into sob srrvicnt civility easier than any spaniel. How else can we interpret the fact of its putting a Government vessel at tbe disposal of tbe wife of the Mexican leader Juarez for the voyage from New Orleans to Vera Cruz T At a Mexican port only a short time since an American vessel was boarded, and a prisoner torn from the protec tion of the national colors; straightway we re ciprocate this friendly act by civilities to the wife of the Mexican President, as if we would placate tbe fury of that illustrious people. There is no trouble over putting a national vessel at the service of the wlio of a Mexican; but when it was desired that the wife of Far Tagut tbould sail on a national ship, the tumult was terrible. RUSSIAN NOTE ON IRISH AFFAIRS. ST. PeteRpburu. 9th 2lit) IMay. 19fl7. Monsieur In Barou: 1 he happy result of Itie Cou Terence at Loudon lor the regulation ot the future d ex Liny of the Urand Duchy ol Luxembourg encourage a hope that we enter on au era of peace and conciliation. The Imperial Cabinet Is pleated to recognize the reality of the service whioh the Government of her Britannia Majesty has rendered In this exigency to the repose and civilization or tne worm 0 luiiiaiuig mat uou tereuce. In admitting the happy Influence of Bin cere efforts culculut-d to spare Europe a war, of wnlcb It would be Impossible to foresee either me extent or the result, we 1I1111K that In following the saute path In other questions Interesting the whole Duuiaii race, 11 wouia 1101 omy oe possiDie to avoiu uie dangers whluu International diU'erences are fraught Willi, out io 10 exuauHt tne sources or uuiversnt eril, which present certain ouuiiii.m wiiicuatiueiirsi lush not onlv distract tne Interior ueaue of aluropeau Slates, but which. examined lu a closer degree. con tain 1 letnenta 01 dauber to all. J wo questions must at tue outset strike the uisiLlerested observer 01 pre sent events the question of Cundia, uuon which you cannot be Ignorant of the sentiments of our uiiguit master anu 01 tne enure 01 kusmiu; ana tue question oi Ireland, which spi-ears to us 10 be equally wormy of Interest. It may be said, perhaps, thtt the aiftli-s ol lrelsud, inasmuch as ihey not only concern the ex isting relations between the British Government and Its Irish subjects, unitlit not lu be viewed as giving rise to a Eur-pean uuesiiou. Our answer to that ob jection la very simple. Yars have passed since tbe creaiionoi a ruin n question, tie uoverniueuti 01 rtince nud Kngland, since that time, have excited diplomatic coalitions against us, with the oblect not only ol Intervening In that question under the spe cious preleuse of treaties, but actually In tbe name of buffering humanity, ol an oppressed nationality, aud of a peisecuted rellKlous belief. While repelling tue slightest foreikn interference with the sovereign rights ot our august master, tbe Imperial Government, at you know, has uccep'vo, with 11 moderation to which tublic opinion has done lull justice, an Invest ga lon. Foreign cabinet have been couvluceJ of the paternal Intentions 01 our august master toward all bis subjects wituout distinction of race or religious belief. The Polish question lias disappeared, and during a long lime Poland has preseuted to Kurope the spectacle of the inott perfect calm, and ol the most complete harmony oetween the Government and the governed. But if the French, and Kugllsh Governments have, according to us, created the Polish question which un longer etlsts, we can declare with truth that we havi in no degree contributed to the creation of the Irish question, which unfortunately has existed lor centuries, uuJ which in our own days and still more recently has assumed proportions a deplorable as they are alarm ing. I shall not seek here to Institute a parallel between the pretended suU'irlmis of Poland and tbe actual sufferings of Ireland. The Kngliib press, with a candor which does It honor, produces day after day lacts which furnish a rrool or the.-e sufferings. During more than two years those constitutional guarantees, the possession of which tue Kugllsh 1 eople feel pleasure hi boasting, have ceased to exist for the people of Ireland. Insuirectlons succeed one another, stranvled at great cost by crushing military forces, nod notwithstanding the unscrupulous appli cation of most energetic measures ot repres-lon, the country Is a prey to urronsm. The spirit of Insurrection grows dally In the heart of the nation, and the sentences of death which are pronounced day after day by tbe English courts are received with defiance and Insult by a heroic Jieoole tor whom death has no terrors. These acts, 1 repeat, are derived from actual English narra tives. There exists, therefore, lu this respect what cannot be denied a question big with danger to the British empire, and menacing the existence of the entire world, which is Interested In any catastrophe that could strike at the bead of the principal locus of modern industry. I have not tbe intention in this confidential communication to dilate regarding the eorrows, so well founded, of the people of Ireland, lord Kussell has laid down tbe principle that every Government must rest on the confidence with whlcU it is able to inspire the governed, and that the ascend ancy ot the law over wnai is arbitrary ought to be the foundation ot order and stability. Are these princi ples, to which we subscribe, the basis of Kugllsh authority in Ireland, and do we not ratner sex the exercise of arbitrary forces, which Is the more pain ful to the mind because it is In llagrunt contradiction to the liberties so vaunted by British rule? I reserve to mysell the power of discussing at a later period the points which appear to lortn the dilliculty ot tbe Irish question. The position so cruelly, Ironically atslgned to a Ct urcb existing In the bosom of a Catholic popu lallOL the oppression of a Celtic race tor the ad vau tage of a Haxoii oligarchy the relations so un Jubt between landed proprietors and their lenouls lu line the migration that voluntary renunciation by an entire people of the pleasures of "country" a fact unparalleled In history, and which epitomizing, as it dues, all these evils each of these points deserve the most serious Investigation. There are, according to us, ample materials for an Inquiry on the part of the Kuropean powers, like to that which took place regarding the affairs of Lebanon, and which tbe French Government proposes to us with regard to the events otCandla. I shall return Immediately to this subject. I wished from the outset to let your Excel lency know the Benllmenta will which the Imperial Cabinet Is animated towards Ireland, aud I shall con fine myself to adding, that I have addressed alike communication to tbe Ambassador of the Emperor at Paris, as well as to his En voy at Washington, with the object of obtaining au Interchange of ideas with the Government of Prance and of the United Stales, on the subject of the situation of that unhappy country.

Contincbd Perils ok English Railways. A lady writes to the London Morning Post: "I had a narrow escape from being burned on my return from Paddington to Windsor on Wed nesday, June 12. The axletree of the oarriage took fire, and the heat was so great that I could not have borne it many minutes longer without suffocation. The train was a quiok one, and I was alone in the carriage. I oould not close both windows to diminish the draught, or I should have been suffocated. I tried to diminish the smoke by stuffing the cushions over the burning part. On notioing the smell of burning wood I put my hand nnder the seat, and the heat blistered my hand instantly. I shrieked 'Fire I' from the windows till I was quite hoarse, and my neighbors in the next oarriage shook their newspapers out of the windows to attract at tention, but we could not succeed in stopping the train. One gentleman got out of a carriage near and made his way for some distauoe along the outside of the carriages, but was obliged at last to give up, and nothing was done until the train stopped at Slough, lhe cushions were then burned quite through, and I was beginning to feel that I could not endure any longer the intense heat and the suffocating smoke." The Trincess of Wales has not boon well lately. Her Royal Highness has again been suffering a good deal 6f ptsln, and her general health has not been satisfactory. Her intended departure from London for the summer will be delayed in consequence of thia relapse. FIRE IN NEW YORK TO-DAY. A Wfclabjr DlttllUrjr JDaatrojratt Kattnsatesl at Abt 30,000-Ob Kan Fatally Injured. . 1 At twenty roinutea pantl o'clock this (Friday) mornlnft, a Ore broke out in the whisky dlt tlllery ot Enjlehardt A Co., No. 3',)5 Pearl atreet, extending through to No. 84 Vanlewater street. The flamea spread with wonderful rapidity throuRhout the premlaeg. Thetwonlnht watch men, Peter and Philip Brody, were the first en issuing from the buildlnir. Peter, it seerua, wa on the third floor at the time, aud as the tiro com- uieuueu un me eecona story n round it Impos sible to encape down stairs; tieace he took to the window on Tearl street, got ouuttle, and by cnngina: on the water leader, managed to de acend to nearly the accon.l story, when hla hold cave way and he fell to the sidewalk. He was picked up insenRible and conveyed to the Fourth Precinct Police Station. He soon after became conscious, and complained of hisbxek. and npht thigh; blood was flowing freely from a severe wound on the lei. Sergeant Kelly ordered a carriage, and be waa conveyed to Ucllovue Hospital. It believed the injury will prove fatul. Philip Brody escaped without injury, being oown atalr? at the time. John Vf. Harnett, the engineer, stated that be was oa tbe floor when tbe fire started, and he alleges that it was caused by one of the tubs or vats leaking and tbe fumes of the alcohol, coming In con tact with tbe Baslitrht, taking tire. lie had much difficulty in escaping; a It waa, how ever, be received a severe cut on the arm.cauaed by broken glass ihiown around by the explosion of alcohol. The alarm was soon sounded, and tbe firemen quickly responded to the call; but In spite of their 'efforts they were unable to save the building. Finding their force insufficient, a second fclarm ' was rimer, which brought an extra force; but at the time our reporter left the scone, at hal'-past 2 o'clock, the adjoining buildings on Vandewater street had caught Are. and thi re was every indication that they would be destroyed. The value ot the stock and build ing is estimated at from $50,000 to $60,000, upon wbioh there 1j said to be no insurance. The Fourth Freclnct police succeeded iu saving about lorty barrels of liquor. They were finally compelled to retreat from the building, owing to the immense hent. The Public Grammar School No. 1, on Vandewater street, adjoining the distillery, was at one time In great danger, but by the efforts of the police and the citizens it was saved. It took tire several times, but was in each instance put out by the police and the cltlzeno. Tbe flames illuminated toe whole lower portion 01 the city. TV. Y.. Herald. Projectiles and Ammunition. The quantity of shot, shell, ammunition, etc., ordered by the British War Department for the year 18G7-8 is thus particularized in a parliament ary paper lately published: 61,4'Jtf tin cups for Armstrong guns, 488,607 fuses of various patterns, 33,710 rilled breech-loading shells for 7-inch, 12-pounder, 9-pounder, and 04-pounder guns; 144,500 muzzle-loading shells, 80,000 of which are for common 64-pounder guns; 2400 common riveted shells, 3586 shrapnel rilled muzzle-loaders, 21, 1C0 Palliser rifled muzzle loaders, of which 16,000 are for 7-inch guns.

Cheese-makiko in Cbesiiirb. A meeting of agriculturists was held at Cheshire, Kngland, on the 22d ult., to discuss the propriety of establishing a manufactory for making cheese. Several agriculturists spoke of the difficulty experienced by the small famers of Cheshire in obtaining dairymaids and other labor neces sary to be employed in making chee3e, and thought it would be a benefit to the class mentioned if factories were established in oen tral positions, to which farmers could send their milk to be made into cheese. The American system of cheese manufactories was referred to as affording an example of the suc cessful carrying-out of the proposed scheme, and several gentlemen were of opinion that the results obtained in that oountry might be secured to Cheshire farmers. A committee was appointed to consider the proposal. Queen Victoria is going to appoint her son-in-law, Prince Christian, as Ranger of Windsor Forest. This is one of the sineoures held by Prince Albert, and carries a handsome salary, and no work.
