L, Taintor, tho Cashior of tho Atlantio Nationsl Bauk, of Now Yorlk City, is ono of the Iargost, boldest, coolost, and most rockloss and romarkable of all tho many spocimens of commorcial rascality that havo ovor boon unvellod. It involves in disgraco not morely the Cashior who actually approprinted over £600,000, but tho Presidont and tho officera of tho bank, tho Committco of tho Cloaring- House, and tho Government Dank Examinor, The charactor and succoss of the embezzloment aro such as to creato wondor that it could have ‘boon porpotrated in tho manner describod, and to throw contompt upon & banking systom which, under the diroction of responsiblo officors, and with the watchfulness of » common assocln~ tion of all the banlkors aud the officers of tho QGovornmont, admits such an ombozzlomont as poseible. Had tho dofaleation boon of a smaller amount and oxtonded over a fow months' timo, it might Linvo beon possiblo, without throwing any blamo upon thoso who wero not guilly in nactu- ally participating in it, and it might havo boon traced to the ingonnity of n romarkably cool and adrojt scoundrol. But tho dotnils of tho trans- action, s far as known, leavo no oppor- tunity for recriminations aund ropronchos botweon the bank ofiicors, thae Oloar- ing-Houso Committee, and tho GCovorn-- mont officiala, They stand befors the commu- nity gullty to o cortnin dogroeo of tho gross and criminal nogligence which alono could pormit an ombozzlement undor thelr very eyes of such enormous proportions. . Mr, Tainter, the Cashicr, was bis own necusor ; othorwise the defaleation might have goue on apporently until overy dollar in the banlk had boen oxbinusted without attracting any atten- tlon. In dolivering ovor tho keys of the bank'to tho Cloaring-House Committeo, Taintor ac- knowledged having stolen about £400,000. The subgoquont cxamination which was made showad oven o more sorious condition of things, ‘The rosult of tho oxaminntion was as follows : Liabilities, less realized. t Socuritles, left in bank, L According to tho statemont of tho dofaulter, his carcor of speoulation has extended over fivo yoars, which has resulted in the embezzlomont of over 600,000 Tho stockholders in the bank, who had elocted Directors to wateh thoir fntor~ oste, loso overy dollar thoy invested, Tho do- positors, who rely at onco on the Clearing-1Touse systom and the Governmont Examiner, will loso 50 por cont of what they had intrusted on tho faith of such protection. But tho severest blow falls upon thoso who loft monoys and securi- ties on special deposit, not delogating the right of uso in any manner, and who now have 10 means of availing themselves of what littlo thero is loft of tho bank funds to the oxtent in which they wouldbe proportionatlely ropresented. The sum of £162,000 has beon stolen outright in this way. Thoro will bo & loud ory for justico on tho head of Tainter, the dofaulting Cashier, which will bo woll founded. But the indignation againet him will not in this case reliove thoso who were associated with him in the management of tho businoss, and those whose duty it was to watch from outside tho condition of tho banks, from o sorious rospousibility, which, though it may not be punished by im- prisonment, will bo followed by disgrace, and will suggost tho necessity for some suror means for protocting the public_interost from similar cases of wrong-doing and negloct in the future. The cool deliberaticn with which Tainter con- fossed his guilt and exposod the condition of things, of which poither tho Beuk Directors, Oloaring-House Committes, nor Bank Examinor Diad tho slightest suspicion, hus something of o stagoy charactor. It may be natural to tho man, but it {s more likely to be tho rosult of a genoral lothargy in this country in rogard to orimo of all kinds, which has almost approved, and cortainly tolerated, various kinds of public and private theft which aro known by other names. Tho greed for wealth which has lod public moen, occupying some of the highest positions in tho nation, to take part In glgantlo swindlos of the Govornment, to ap- propriato the poople’s monoy in the most impn- dont fashion, and to sot an example of disdnin to ovory disgrace which cannot bo reached by the law or punished in the ponicontinry, has something to do with the causes that led to Tainter's dofaleation, Bat all theso things have been still moro active agonts in pro- moting tho epirit of indifference and ostablish- ing the tone of unconcorn with which Taintor moots tho situation, Porhaps ho fools that ho 18 Qividing the responaibility with not only tho bruk ofticors, banks in gonoral and ofticors in genoral, but with the American people. THE PARTY AND THE NEWSPAPERS, There has boon a good denl of talk in cortain quartors sinco tho Prosidentinl olection about nowspapers without & party, Tho dritt of tho public concern in thin rogard sooms to have ohanged, and the trouble is now about a party without nowspapers. The, notion that & news- poper which i not & party-organ s liko o ship without a ruddor is a rolic of tho paleozolo nge of journalism, but it wag found desirable, and thought to be partlcularly cuto, to revive it for application to the indopendont pross. Thonows- papers included in this catogory havo not ox- hibited any specisl alarm at the terriblo state, of things which was predictod as o yor sult of tho indepondent position in which tho lato olection had lofi thom. Thoy Lave, without & gingle oxcoption, stoadily progrossed in pros- pority, incrensod thoir usofulness, and found » wider field of Influence in the unbiaged and un- constrainod oxprossion of opiunion. Now,: how- ever, an Administration papor comes forwnrd and acknowledgoes thiat tho slios piclies on tho othor foot. As the indopondont pross found no occa- vion for alarm, and rofusod to be whipped into n sorvile position, while thoir indepondence and freedom were at ounco profitable, con- gonisl, and popular, the scaro was {ransferrod to tho party. Tho Washing- ton Republican, an organ of the Administration at the Capital, has eounded the alarm, Com- monting upon cortain utterancea of Congrosg- man Scofield, in which ho oxpressed tho opin- lon thnt Tre Cizoago Trinuse, tho Now York Tribune, tho Cincinnat! Commerotal, tho Louls- villo Courfer-Journal, and tho Bt. Louls Re- publican—cnly fivo papors-—''wore ablo to put tho wholo Republican parly to its trumps,” tho Wnehington Republican confesses that ono of tho groatest dangors that throntons the party at tho prosout timo I8 tholosa of its nowapapors. Tt pointn out ihat the Now York Times hns ute torly falled to ftnko tho placo ns o party nowspapor which was vaeated by the Now York Tribune, and unys, further, that, *in whatovoer dircction wo turn, wo find that tho nowspapers that formorly stood by audsuatainod tho party havo olthor assumed an atiitudo of hostility or aro cold and indifforont to it." Tho Republican 18 dotormined that it skoll not bo misunderstood, and dosivos to improse upon the party tho full significanco of tho situntion, for it roponts : * It is plain to nuy ono who ovor pays tho slightest attontion to tho subjoot, tuat tho Ropublicau party Is loslng its nowspapors day by day, and for the most obyions roasons in tho world.” It may or may not bo that *tho most obvious reasons in the world" to tho 'Washinglon Republican naro the same that would bo cltod outsido the party; but thio fact romains, attested by a loading Ad- ministration organ located at tho look-out of tho politienl citadol, that tho nowspnpors aro grad- ually loslug thoir loyalty to tho perty, nnd that tho clinngo is fraught with sigoificance and dan- ger—to tho party. g In roproducing tho article from the Washing- ton Republican, nnd tho views of Mr. Booflold,— who furthor says that *‘wo [the party] can't af- ford to keep, up the effort” ngalnst what ho is plensed to call “a poworful pross syndicate,"—tho . Nation concludes that no party can maintain itsolf with tho wholo intolligont progs of the country mrrayed ngalust it for threo yoars, The Nation nlko eaya that, i€ tho editorial statomont mado by tho Administration papor be truo, **thon itis cortain that & wovement hos bogun spontane- ous, unforcecen, long before a Prosidentinl eloc- tion, and on tho lheols of a disastrous defeat, which I8 lnying the broadest and strongest foun~ dation fora future party, by drawing to itself the sympnthy, if not the eupport, of the ontiro intolligenco of the people.” It will bo romen- bored that tho Nation ncted with tho party dur- ing tho lato clection, aud rondored it officiont and valuablo sorvice on the besis of promised roforms that have beon ontirely ignored. Ono obvious remson why tho party pross is poworloss in defonso of the party is, that inde- pendent journalism is tho gront demand of tho people. Thoy aro tired of organs. Thoy want papors that not only foll the truth but the whelo truth, and that without referenco to whom it will hurt, A party organ outside of the circla of offlce-holdors and oftico-sockors is regarded as o more officinl bulletin written to order, from which everything that might reflect upon o par- tizan {s oxcluded, and everything falso or truo affocting tho adverso faction is conspiouously displaged. Tho public read tho moro parly Ppapors just as thoy might rond tho handbills of rival quacks. They look to the othior class of pnpors for information aud intelligonco, for discussion, for fair trealment of all porsons and questions, and for an honost summary of facta. Howover convinced & man may bo upon political quontions, o hns mora confidenco in his judg- mont whon he fiuds himeolt supported by a press that is freo and indepondont, and not the' more mouthpicco of tho lant county convontion. Tho worlness of o mereparty pross wasnever so con- spicuous as when contrasted with the vigor, suc~ cosy, and popularity of tho independent press. This is shown in tho utter faituro of that press to justify tho party men involved in tho various oxposures of scandalous corruption. Tho Inw of solf-preservation is as conspicnous awong nowspapers 88 among Iudividuals, sud tho timo seems to have, como when, with tho mont loyal disposition in {he world, the party press daro not approve of acts that havo out- ragod tho wholo people, and brought into con- tempt and distrust tho political organization that ig responsiblo for them, Tho mituation Lis interosting in many rospoots, but principelly so for two reasona: - First, becauso it indicates that o movomont of irosistiblo forco has beon inaugurated to break down public abuses ; and second, becauso it teaohes what is valuable for tho publio to undorstand—that nowapapora aro mioro necossary to tho party than tho party to the newspapers. OUR INDIAN WARDS. A Now York dispatel states that the Purchas- ing Committea of the Board of Indian Com- missionors havo contracted for 1,600 dozon butcher-knives and 120 dozon skinning-Inives, which among other articlos are to bo distributed among the Indians, ~ In viow of the recont gealping of survoyors and immigrant parties, and the murder of Gon, Cauby and Commissionor ‘Thomas, it {8 impossiblo to fend this announco- ment without . shudder. It is, lowover, part of the general Indian policy of the Qovernment, and this. policy s no moro short-sighted than most of {ho acts of tho Indian Commissioners relative to supptics. Mrs. Swissholm, who has o porsonal knowledge of tho Tndion quostion, Lns writton lottor to thie Now York Zwibunc which soveroly criticizes the present Indian policy, and prosents sowmo unansworablo arguments againat the manner of supplying thom, which only keops thom in idlo- ness, and taxes the industry of tho country to support thom. Tho ono besotting sin of the Indiun 8 his Inzincss, If thoro iy auy work to bo dono, o compels the squaw to doit. The Govornment confirms Lim in Lia lazinoss, and, by maintsining him, allows him to live without work. It atands botweon him and tho great law of labor, sud tho inoviteblo result is to offer him & promium for leading a dissoluta life, and giving unbridled liconso to his worst qualities. Tho whito frontier settlor hos to worls, and roceives littlo or no protection from the Governmont, His noighbor, the say- ngge, livos without worly, and s maintained and protected by tho Governmont, Tho flrst stop from savagery to civilization is labor, and the Govorument provents tho Indian from tuking that stop Ly wupporting him, If an idle and viclous white man is punishod, why not an idle and vicious Indinu? If tho law provents tho idlo whito men from proying upon tho indus- trious classes, why ig not the law applicable to tho Indianaléo? 1f the idlo whito man has to work or starve, why not let the idlo Indinn starve nlso ‘Clio amount of boof which ig snnually furnished tho Indians involves the Govorumont in an onormous expenso, but why ls it necessary to provido thio Indians with boof ntall?

Tho polioy of tho Govorn- mont {8 to maintain Indisns without work, and such & polioy cannot but prove fatal to poaco and good order, whilo it opens a thousand ave- nues to frauds and corruptions of ovory descrip- tion. Tho English Government, in its doalings with Indians, has treated thom as responsiblo men. It gives thom tho snmo opportunitios ag .whito men, and makes them amonable to Inw in tho samo manner.

Tho Hon, B. G, Northrop, tho Bocrotary of tho Cohnoatlout Btato Board of Education, hns taken the load in tho mattor. Mo recontly published an article in tho Ohrislian Union, in which ho pointed out many objections that ocourred to him, and he pro- posos to pursuo the subjoct in a more elaborato manner. It is understood that Prosident Eliot, of Harvard, Btearns, of Amherst, Dr. Mark Hop- king, Prosident Portor, and other workors In Amorican education, congjwr in the viows of Mr. Northrop, and will co-oporttq fn thd effort.to check the migration of so many Amor- jcan students to European echools. Theze gentlemen ocoupy too high a po- sition to be suspected of any eolsh motive in secking to holp American youth at home, It I8 ovident that thoir solo interest 18 in the cause of American education, and that they honestly Dbellove tho incroasing practice of attending foreign sehools is baneful at onca to tho Amorl- can youth, and to tho Amorican system of educa- tion. Thoir opposition iu divected mainly agrinst the echools of the proparatory or acadomio grados, tho henofits of tho Europoan University systom bolng concodod for advanced students of well-digoiplined minds and natural charactor. Tho gonoral statomont of tho caso is, that tho customs of Enropean schools have o tendenoy to unflt Amorican youth for the farther pursuit of knowledgo naccording to the oustoms of Amorican oducational Institutions, and also that the surroundings, socisl and political are caleulated to leave impressions and instil 1dons that are opposod to the duties of American oltizenshlp, Tho objections irged extond to Doth tho moral and tho moutal influoncos which surround tho American student abroad. It may bo concoded that tho goneral conolu- slons of Mr, Northrop and those who sympathizo with him aro correct as appled to tho vast ma- ority of tho American youth who aresentabrond to school, without, howgver, admitting the justica of all tho arguments that aro brought to bear ‘upon tho caso,-For tho practical duties of Amor- fcan lifo, whothor commercial or professional, thero is little doubt that schooling at homo has grent advantagos over schooling abroad. This conelusion noods no othor basis than the obvious adaptation of educational practices to the cus- toms and habits of tho country, Tho formation of character and tho dircction of thought aro nocossnrily influcnced by tho associations of oorly lifo, Asarule, thorofore, olomentary in- straction looking to further devolopment in Amerioan colloges or univorsities, or what la Luown as practical education to fit an American boy for tho herd, mattor-of-fact duties of active business life, may be best pursuod at homo, Tho rule should be followad all the more becaueo of the dangor that an American boy who goos abroud to study will find his way into the board- ing-nchools which have boon establishod on tho Continout—in Frauco, Germany, and Bwitzor- land—for tho English ond Amorican youth, where tho syatom I8 apt to bosuporficial, the dis- olplino frequently Iax, aud tho oxponsos always unronsonable, It doos not follow, howover, that tho currieulum of the Gorman or Fronch school is necossarily unadaptod to the Amorican student. Tho thoroughness of the Prussian gymnasium Lias soarcely dogoneratod as much aa Mr, North- fop belloves, and be Is also mistakoy whon ho Liolds that two yoars' proparation in tho study of tho Gorman language Is necossary for the etu- dont to gvail himeolf of the adyvantages which it offers, Blx months In thp Gorman school will suflice to soouro groater proflcioncy in tho lan- guago than as many yoara' stidy of the languago in Amorles, and will onoble tho student to pur- 8uo his coureo with facility, The thoroughnesa of tho systom will bo of ns great valuo to the Amoriean student as to tho Gorman student with n view o thoso subsoquont purs sults which roquire, or may bo alded by, 8 knowlodgo of tho classics, of mathomntics, of modorn Ianguages, and of arts and belles-lottres gonorally, Tho Amorfonn academio oduoation Lng not yot ronched tho thoroughnesn In drlll of the Gorman ; and for thoso whoso calliugs in lifo shall probably domand such n basis in atudy aud montal diselplino the Gorman gymnusium offers nearly thoe same advautagon to the earnost Ameriean studont ns to the German youth, Thero are undoubtedly individual casos in Whioh tho oarnosinoss and comploteness of the Gorman clngsienl rehooling offer advantages and Dproduce rosults suporior to thoso of tho Amerl- can gohool or averago colloge eystem; but the rulo will atill hold that tho majority of those who aro ront abroad to school at an enrly age aro not 80 woll propared for the lifo in America which thoy subsoquently Rssumo aa if thoy had.boon roared amid Amorican influences, and partaken of the charactoristio drift of American sehooling, The moro maturo development at tho foreign univorsity, combined with the broadening influ- onco of travel at an age whon improssions may bo guidod by judgmont unaftectod by projudice, in moro apt to bo productive of good results than the foroiga influouces surrounding tho American chinracter in procoss of formation, Thoro aro dangors to bo oncountored oven in this practico, Tho exporimont should bo govorned by tho dis- position of tho student, his condition in life, tha drift of his mind, the prospocts beforo him, and the sphoro of usefulness which ho has outlined for himsolf. For thoso who fail to contemplato any sphore of usefulness, It mattors little whethor thoy go abroad or romain at homo, In oithor caso, thore will bo tho samo likelihood of forming associations, and falling into habits of domoralizing tondoncles. Thoe scope of Euro- poan university life i3 undoubtedly broadoer than the mojority of Amoriean univor- sitios offor, and thoro are partloular pointa of information to be acquired in travel and in the contnct with & foreign poo- plo that ean never boe obtained from vooks, Tho discipline and adaptability of such an oxporlonco dopond altogothor upon tho characterof him who sooks it, It may lerd to o bnad npplication of natural ability, as well as to the culturo of thoso qualities which should be most doveloped. Thero is no doubt that a Europsan lifo of ploag- ure ig enorvating dnd demoralizing to Amorican youth; n European lifo of application and study, on the other hiand, givos a broadthand a strength to charnctor and provides a fund of information that may bo made more useful in contributing to mubsoquent success aud happiness than any dis- ciplino that can bo found st home. To guard ogainat its dangors, and to onjoy its benofits, it should not be undertaken oxcept at an ago and. at anadvancement likely to discriminate betwoon tho real grain and tho chaff, both of which will bo found in abundance. In summing up the advantages of Europosn schooling on the ono side, and its dengoers on tho other, thora is little doubt that Mr, Northrop and his asyociaton have undertaken a good work In- disconraging the growing practice, Isrgely fostored by fashionablo influonces and ambition, of gending American boys to foreign schools with no higher objoct than that of “having thom there, no definite purpose of securing tho pocu- liar advantages that cortaln of the Buropean #ch0oln offer, und no views for the Tuturo that could not be better advanced by aclmollng. at homo. THE CORNELL UNIVERSITY, The Rogistor of tho Cornell University for the meholastio yonr of 1872-'73, which hag just been issued, shows a record of progross which alto- gothor oxceeds tho antielpations of those who ‘were most confident of its success whon it was eatablishod o fow years ago. It is more than likely that the good results of tho Univoraity system adopted at Cornell have boon the incont- ivo to tho recommondations made by President Eliot and others that thore shall ba greater lib- orality introducod into tho dlscipline and courso of studles at Harvard—n suggoation that cons Lémpluma o nearer approach to tho scope of the colebrated universilios of Europs. Cormell atarted out with a plan caleulated to insure a froodom of study and a variety of advantnges not to bo found at any other singlo institution of loarning in tho country. It proposed to unite the litorary, solontiflo, professional, and polytechnio systoms, including spocial attontion to agricul- turo, ag might be bost adapted to tho varied wanta and ambitions of Ameriean studonts, It was undor fow rostraints, It recolved tho whole ot Now York's sharo of tho land-grant made by Congress for the purposo of cstablishing agri- oultural schools, It received from Mr, Ezra Cornoll, of Ithaon, the sum of $500,000 in money, besides » gift of ‘over 200 nores of land ncar Ithaca, with the buildings thorcon, asn farm to bo attached to the Co\l‘egu of Agricultura. The other gifts, amounting to about 1,000,000 in waluo, cousisting of building funds, musonms, libraries, oto,, wero made without rosorvation or conditions that ‘could affect tho course of study or univorpity disoipline. It owed to the Unitod Stutos o spocial dovolopment in agricul- ture and tho mechanio arts, and an opportunity for kustruction in military sclence. It is undor obligatton to provide a freo scholarship onco a year to tho most moritorions applicant from each of the 128 Assembly Districts iu Now York Btato, which it fulfills, making ench scholarship extond over four yoars, Mr. Cornell's dosire in con- tribiting the genorous fund whioh secured the establishment of the univoraity was oxpressed in thoso words: *TI would fonund an institution whore any person can find instruction in any study.” It hea boon the aim of the managemont to comply with this comprehonsive iden, so thnt tho benefits of tho institution are oxtonded to both sexos, to students from all partsof tho world, in the kind and dogreo that may be do- sired, without distiuction of politics, soct, or any other matter of individual concorn, Tho Cornell Univorsity wes oponed Oct. 7, 1808, with fifteon rosident professors, throo ase slstant profossors, and six nou-resldont profos- sors. There woro 400 applications for admis- slon, 860 of which wore passed. Sinco that time thero have boon 140 graduatoes, aud tho bonefits of the institution have boon extondod to many who were not matriculated, During the four yoars that havo olapsed, tho fuculty hag boon jn- croased from twenty-four to fifty professors, and tho number of martriculntod students at tho losy gossion was 625, Extonsive buildings have boon eracted fu the moaptime, muucumg and sciontitle colleotions of groat value have heon socured, and coursos of locturos, bosides those of tho rouldont professors, havo beon delivered by Gold- win8mith, George Willlam Curtis, Jamos Russoll Tawoll, Thoodore W, Dwight, Bayard Taylor, and QGeorgo W, Groone. Tho permanont income of tho Univorsity from its ondowmonts is about 980,000, and about ©80,000 from ita ronts and tultion fees, 2 This rapid matorial progresa Is undoubtedly to bo attributad to the grontor scope of study and froodom of solootion which are charactoristlo of tho ayatom that has beon ndopted at Cornoll. The University is dividod Into ton collogos, onch of which Lins its spocinl faoulty. These aro ag follows: 1. Collego ot Agricullure; 2. Collogo of Ohemistry and Physics ; 8.

Thero is no proparatory de- partment, no marking system, and nono of the dovicos for theincitemont to atudy which should bo confined to littlo boys and girls, It is ox- prossly statod that the Unlvoraity is not aro- formatory institution. It oxercises no restrainta and no esplonngo overthe studonts, It is simply required that tho students shall recognize the rulos of common decency and common morality. Holong s they do this they may do it according to thoir own fashion and inclination ; whon they fail to do this thoy nro dismissed. Tho systom of mantaining o corpa of non-rostdent profea- 8ors, who doliver courses of lectures, introducos brordor viows tlan could, bo obtained in o limited circlo .of men wholly dovoted to thoir books and thoir clfssos.
