HI ter Dana, of the New Yerk Sun defa net Beam te be In sympathy with representative Hatch, of Missouri, in the conviction that certain political fu nereis in a few of the statea would profit th Democracy . Mr. Dana says that the bfttlenal Democratic convention will meet te ratify a popular demand for Mr. Tilden as the presidential candidate of the party. The New Yerk Sun.under Mr. Dana's direction, has been steadily proclaiming for a year or mere that Mr. Tlldea'a candidacy was nu impossibility, and for a few months of the year it vig orously proclaimed Mr. Helman te be the man for the place. Tbe loud funeral demand of Mr. Hatch In Congress seems te lrnve persuaded Mr. Dana that It would net be safe te play the opossum game any longer in the matter of Mr. Tilden's candidacy, if that very astute old gentleman was te be kept politically alive. Notwithstanding all the denials of his continued ambition te be the party nominee, the impression has never died away that he steadily alms at the prize ; and the unmasking of Mr. Dana, his leading organist, clearly shows that the popular opinion has been correct. The ether day Mr. Tilden declined te say in answer te categorical questions of a ,rslstent intcrvlewer, that he would . it be a candidate ; be contented him elf with a mild denial that he wanted tf e office. The convention, therefore will have t. deal with the funereal question and It - .mains te be seen whether or no the najerlty of the delegates will sympa thize with the feeling of ltepresentatlve i Catch. There is no doubt whatever that ',1s declaration has struck a responsive chord in many Democratic besoms. The question simply is whether we are e have a fresh nnd lively campaign, flth new men aud methods, or a stale :,nd wearlsorne canvass with the old Ltlcks. There does net seem te be any pressing reason for the party's confining 'tself te the contemplation of presiden jdutes,-whem it bes prefUlessly iazeuupen for many yeats ; for there Is no man among them commanding the highest place in their regard by his talents, character and services. There is no giant visible. There are hundreds of eoed men in the party who would make geed presidents ; but there Is no particular ene who towers abeve his fellows in his qualifications for the pest The delegates te the convention can leek around and see the location which Is likely te give the most strength te their ticket, with the certainty of finding In that locality n man te be their candidate who is as fit as any ether part of the country can present. And they may And fitter men among these who have net been prominently uanied than among theso who have been made con spicuous by their own or their friends' partiality. If they will give the party a clean, vigorous, sensible candidate, for whom Itcau work with unity nnd zeal, with the feeling that if It elects him he will reflect honor upon it, nnd act se us. te strengthen and unite it, they will de their whole duty. With such a candidate we will have an aggressive campaign ; we will have nothing te defend, and have tin npnil in nt-rdfl nnll-J""avrtlI tnr. thriutainKnu. If we have our prlncl ples'clearly declared and are given a candidate te lead ua, arrayed in spotless white nnd vigorous in bjdy and mind, we will advance te the battle with all the assurance of triumph that it is possible for us te secure. Tim contest for the Itepubllcan nom ination seems te be Blalue against the field, a position similar te that at the last two Itepubllcan conventions, and one which it has seemed that Mr. lilalue at this time desired te avoid, having found It se fatal en these former ecca sleus. But it stems he cauuet get away from it. Nene of his friends will believe tbe assertion that he is net a candidate, since it is one quite iucapable of belief. Mr. illalne cannot retire behind his asseverations any mere thau can Mr. Tilden. A man who has once con sented te be a candidate is booked for it a3 long as he lias any life left in him. There 1b only one man living who has been a presidential can dldnte once, who is credited with an at) selute objectleu te being one again. That is Horatio Seymour. 13ut lie Iiiih u singular reputation for truthfulness and self-respect. The ordinary run of politicians are net believed te be capable of telling the truth when tliey deny tliat they want efllce, particularly when the ofllce is at the top of the heap. Mr. Blaine will have te go in te win this prize with his colors flying; there can be neBnttak game played with the presi deucy by one se conspicuous as he In Hip rogues' gallery. One of the meat Important emces te be filled next fall iu this county Is that of county commissioner. As the Demo crats will elect ene of three members of the beard, a certain measure of rospen slblllty falls upon them te mnke n lit se lectien, and among the candidates al ready announced, with perhaps mere te fellow, there will be no dlfllulty finding a proper man. lint as the Republicans have the selection of ivmujerlty of the beard theso of that party who nre sin cerely interested in u real reform in the management of county affairs will de well net te leso sight of the importance of the commissioner's ofllce iu the scrum bio for mere lucrative places. The en forcement of the law paying the county otlieluls with salaries will largely depend for Ita efilclency upon the next beard of commissioners und auditors, and any candidates for either place who are of easy vlrlue, or who are tee urdeutly de aired by political jobbers, should be re jected. PmttJiDKHT AimlUK has solemnly us surt-d an anxious Inquirer that efllclals In the postefUce service iu Illinois need net fear removal in the ovent thnt they advocate his renominatlen in preference te the selection of Legan. This com. fortable asanrance ought te warm the twarta of nil genuine civil service re. formers, Tun reported oale of Bedford Springs hotel, se wldely advertised last season, has fallen through. The man who thought he had bought it Beems te have been doing a streke of prlvate simula tion en his own account instead of being an authorized agent of the Vnnderbllts, and the grnteful premises of great Im provements at this old summer resort fnde into thin air. Tnr.ni: will be a netable absence of serious contests for seats in the next Democratic state convention. Thore are signs, however, that seme of the few contestants who villi present themselves will base their claims mero en their predilections than en the strength and merits of their case. We trust they will be disappointed. Let every tub stand en its own bottom if It has one. March is very loenlno new, but It will be oxccedlngly Iamb llke when the tlme cornea for its parting.

Tiieuf. is a tuovement ou feet in the New Yerk Legislature te take away from the beard of aldormeo lu New Yerk city the right of oeaflrmlug the mayor's nom inations of heads of elty dopartraenta. As this prcrogative gives the beard Its auto cratic power, thore will be a stern tight for its rotention.

The train was crowded. Finding the scat which he first occupied tee cold he started te walk baek te the rear ears te find a hotter ene. As be opened the car deer the truln was passing along an ombankment eight or ten fcet high, nbeut a mlle from Trenten Junction It had net yet obtained full headway, but was going seme SO miles an hour, ile stepped upeu the platform, selzing tbe brake whoel with the hand in which he held hisnowspaper and mittens, and holding en te his hat with the ether.
