E— Theoro {a something more in the marvelous at- tempts of.tho Jnpaneso to change their man- ners, cuatoms, and’ government than the’en- lightened policy of a Mikado, Tho enormous number of 8,000 pupils eesombled at Tokel on tho Tth ult,, to begin thelr studios at tho Poly~ technio School which was then opened by tho Lmperor. Thisehowshow deeply in carnest tho peoplo are in the now movement, and recalls the intellectusl revival in England fn fhe Lith century, whon 80,000 students met at Oxford in ono year. : The tes trado hias been insecuro fn Now York for some time. There were failures a few waoks ago of some of the largest doalors, with aggro- pato Habilities of eeveral millions, and some smaller firms gave ,way day bofore yestordpy. Now Yorle dispatches state thnt theso failuyos svero not caused by the panio; but by the loss of business resulting from tho diversion of whole- sale trade to Western markots. Thoso are now suppliod by tho ovorland route o such an sxtont that tho Eastorn dealora fool tho loas of business soverely, T et — . Alaeka hns olways been a land of brilliant promises, and now adds to Its glittering pros- peetus innumerablo and invaluable gold mines. A nfity of twelvo. minors who recently returned from Caraon Counfy brought with thom $15,000 worth of gold-dust, and report that ono party made £197 in cight hours, Thero is great ox- cit‘vc;nens in consoquence among thoso who have not yot loarned $hnt gold-mining is not a very profitable business. Tho Russians got & “§7,000,000 nuggot out of ' Alasks, and in doing B0 probably exhausted the only eousiderable gold mine in the Territory. p Memphis wag froed yestorday from two plagues. For tho .firat.timo since the yellow fover ontered tha eity, moro than two months ngo, thore were no deaths from the disease and o0 now cases reported. Almost as good is the fows that ex-Acting Mayor Cicalla, who put to This‘own use supplics that ho drew ostensibly for & widow aund her children, has beon expelled Jrom the Bosrd of Aldermen. -Tho voto was ananimous, and so strong was the feoling of the Boord that one of its members who rofused tp «voto wns threatened with tho sume treutmont muless ho apologi vhich he did forthwith, TRoeenzweig, the Now York abortlonist who amurdered Alice Bowlsby, and attempted to get id of bar body by slipplug it .of in a trunk, “has boen ordored dischinrgod by Judgo Hyther- land. A provious trial for this offense had sent him to Bing Bing for & torm of hard labor for | iten years, and he was actunlly working out his <ontence when tho iast Legielaturo amended the smurder law in such a way that his counsel cinimed & new trinl, with tho unfortungte rosult just aunounced. It was by the same logielation that tho dofinilion of murder was so changed that it became impossible to convict Blokes of bis roal offonse, It is n hopeful sign that thero is veory little nows in the financial world. RMoney in Now York is eany, and first<class borrowers are got- ting call loans at from 7T down to 4 por cont, although the banks ate still pursuing a carofu | policy in discounts snd loans.

Tho Jndge indulged in ssome unofficial remarks to the offegt that tho delinquent frm should bo tronted with al} poosi- blo forbearance, sinco tholr financial dlstross ls ahared by tho eutiro commercial world. The proposition submitted by the firm to their ered- itors, tho Judge said, ovincod a desire to make an bonorablo settloment, Jt was impossible, lowever, that any such arrangoment should bo | offoctod undor tho law.

Ho offered hia captors $1,000,~ 000 for his lifo, but blood is tho ono thing Spaniards love botior than gold, and his prico was not accopted. This sickening doed was un- doubtodly dono in disregard of tho oxpress orders of the Home Government. The Spanish voluntcors are as Jikely to hood Castelar's orders a8 tho Carlists would be, and,'as Bocrotary Fish says, gro thoroughly disloyal to fho Homo Govornment. Biill, most peoplo will aslc impationtly how ‘Jong ‘that Govern- mont is to bo allowed to shield itsolf from the rosponsibillty for. such butcherles on the plos of its own inefMciency, and whethor, if Amorican lives aro the stake, our Govornment Lind not bettor inslat on baving something to say about tho relations between Oubs snd Spain, Bee- rotary Robeson is very busy ingetting roady eyery . availablo yesspl for sorvice in Cubsn watora.

THE (QMMON COUNCIL AND THE EXPOBI- TION BUILDING. * The Staals-Zeiflung gontains an articlo npon the petition. of tho Exposition Djreptors for por- miegion to retain the building in its prosent locality until May 1, 1876, in which it takes the gronnd that it would ba best to leave tho wholo matter to the declsion of the next Council. Tho ostensiblo reason which the Slaats-Zeitung urges for this referonca jg that the stoclholdors have mado ali the profits, and the pity hns derived no benofit from jt, and therefore, if thostockholders aro to bo granted such o valuablo pormit as this extonsion of time would virtuslly bo, it should bo granted upon cortain conditions, Tho first of thesa ja tho improvement of tho grounds sc- cording to the priginal undorsfanding ; the sec- ond, an expross sgrepmont that tho building ghall not bo used for any purposes injurious to the legltimate trado of the city ; and tho third and last, that it shall bo kept opon on Bunduys. Thero . is nothing objectionsblo in the firsb condition, and the Directors will undoubtedly consent to it willingly. The Exposition has, wo suppose, boona profitable fnvestment, It has drawn hyndrods of thousands of peoplo.here, who have loft thejr monoy liborally in the oity, snd have gona away sptjsfled that thoy got thowr money's worth, and will gladly repeat the opera~ tion another year. Wo assume, therofore, (hat the Directors gre in a position, notwithstanding tho stringency of the times, to ornamont and Dbonutify the grounds adjacont o tho building, and this they would probably do in any event, as it would Lolp to rondor (hejr building still more atiraotive in the futuro, and thus mako good tho oxtra inyestmont. . The second condition is one of importance also, and it should, bo made &n jndispensable requisite to the granting of tho eoxtonsion, whother tho dacinion {s mado by this Council or the poxt. The recent proposition of the Young Mon's Christisn Associations of this city and of Boston, toopena * Bazaar of tho Natlons" for retail trado, 18 wholly apart from thoe purposes for wiieh the city grantod the permit, and for which tho stockholdera apbserjbed thoir money, That proposition Is still plive, slthonghitlLas been temporarily kept in gboyance by the resconstrans ces of tho mercantile community. Thore is no bottor fime than tho present, whils tho potition of tho Directors is pending, to sottla this mat- ter dofinitoly, 8o that it may appiy not only to the Young Mon's Clristian Association, but to oll other assocfatjons or individusls who may sook to gob possossion of he building for mer- cantllo purposes. Such nuso of the byildjng would bo, in the firat placo, an infustico to | tho morchepts who bhave exhibited® thoir wargs in i, bt considorablo esponso to thomselves, aud with morg or less of damago to tholr property. In the sccond place, it would ba coptrary to the spirit of the origigal agreoment. In this sgrooment it was never contemplated by tho ity thpt the building was fo bo turned into a rotall storo, It wes ajmply and solely designod for an pxposition hall, where fho merchiants of this city, aud tho producors of the s} olo West, in fact, Inight placp their goods and producta on oxhybition, both pa a maiter of curiosity and on- tortalngont, and for what futyrp profit might f inure to them jn the way of advertisiog thoir:| business, Any proposed uso of this bullding, thoroforo, which will rosylt in transforming it into & place of trade, elther wholosale or rotail, should be ipmedlatoly nullifled, aud this should Do mado au indispepsable condition to the grant- ing of tho dosired oxtension, As to the third point, the opening on Bundsy, it may bo loft for time to dagide, Jt 18 an iuoldontal itom, which bhas nothing to dp with tho main quostion at issue, It occurs to ua that the Councll cannot taroo it roligious opintonsupon the Directora of the Bxposition, though the latter may mnke no objectlon o the proposed condition, Tho prosout Counell fa norfootly compotent to, deoldo tho genoral question, and the. objoct of tho Slaafs-Zeitung in trying to push it over until tho .next Council {8 not by any moans clear. T'ho Dircotors havo naked this Couneil to grant thom tho oxtonston, and this Counsil should say yeaoruo, Tho noxt Councllis not yot in legal oxistouco, and has nothing to do with the mattor, With roforence to tho condition of tho question in this Councll, thero nro also o fow worda to ba enid. Tho potition was prosented at tho lnst mooting, and Ald. McGrath moved that it bo postponed. Tho alnority with which ‘this Aldorman “lays down " on auy ordinnnce whoro monoy s supposed to bo involved, should put the Exposition Dircotors upon thoir guard. 1If, during tho prosent week, any attempt shionld bomade'to blackmall the Diractors or to extort monoy from thom, 8 tho condition of au affirma~ tivo doclslon, lot them Xick the blackmallors out of doors, aud stay wheta they are until .the city conn show it has more right to the grounds than thoy have, If Ald. MaGrath and his crowd want +| to bring an action of ojectmont, let thom try it on, sud first show a titlo to tho property. By the timo that can be nccomplishied, the torm, for tho proposed oxtousion will have oxpired. What- over olgo they may do, the Directors of tho Tix- poeition must absolutely refuso to Lo bled n single dollar. ] THE BURRATT CONTROVERBY. Tho controvorsy betwoon ox-Proeident Johne son snd Judgo Holt concorning the exccution of Mra, Burratt is both nocdless and unsnvory, though it is but justico to esy that it has beon forcod upon Mr. Johnson. Thore was' no oceas sion for tha card published a couple of months ago by Judge Holt, in which ho charged that tho rocommondation for morcy in Mrs. Burratt's caso, signod by the Judge Advacate, by Judge Bingham, and by all tho mombors of the Court, had beon uttorly ignored by President Johnson. Mr, Johnson now says that he never saw this papor or heard of it until after the oxcoution bad taken place, and ho detailed tho circum- stances undor which the sentence of the'Court was submittod to him. It scoms that it did not-como to tho Executive Offico throngh the War Offico, which would have beon tho nat- ural courso for it to take, but was brought to Ir, Johnson by Judge Holt in person, who went over the findings of the Court with the Presi- dont, and, having sccured tho signature of tho Iattor ppproving tho sevoral sontences, ho 'thon corrled aiviy {ho popors. Mr. Johnson says, furthor, that Judgo Holt persoually urged him not to sllow the question of sox to modify. thoe. sentonce in Mrs, Surratt’s caso, saying that the lnw made no distinction; and that tho womnn who had thus unsoxed Liorself was more worthy of punishmont than & man who had beon simi- larly guilty. As tho controversy standa now, it is gimply a question of veracity botwaeen Alr, jolin- son and Judge Iolt. Tlio only real point ab issuo is whether Mrs, Surratl was guilty or not. If it'can now bo proyed thaf she was ipnocont of the crime for which sho was oxecuted, it will then. indoed bo- come o mntter of some jmportance whether Judgo Holt suppressed tho recommendation to moray, or whothor 3r. Johnson declined to give it sny gonaidoration nftor his attontion was drawn toit, Itisstated thut Judgoe Holt la still of the opinion that Mrs, Surrats wes & prinoipal in tho assassination of Presidont Lincoln, ihat sho wag properly triod under the articles of war, and justly senfoncod. If thisisstill his boliof, ho scoms to bo 'ongngad in yery poor businoss whon ho comes back on M. Johnson at this time for disrégarding tho racommendation of morgy in her cago. If Mrs, Burrait was guilty of de- liberately nbotting n conspiracy sgainst tho lifo of President Lincoln, sho was gumity of ono of tho most heinous erimes ever commilted in any age or country, and she was entitled to neither mercy nor sympathy by reason of hor 9ox or any other condition, - As long s Judgo Holt holds thif to bo truo, ho s guilty of on st of weaknogs in his effort to ymakp ber oxecution appear now as a ovuel thing, and to throw tho blamo for it upon ex-President Johneon, If ho hiad opoped this controvorsy with an “expression of bis beliof thet tho woman was Innocent, backed up by evidencs, there wonld then bo somo morit in bis chargo upon Mr. Johnson, it ho should bo abla to proveit. As ib is, Judgo Holt is uttorly inconsidtent, and, in tho abaence of any further proof on eithor pide, the piblie_ will bo apt to accopt Mr, Johnson's statement of tho caso a8 the rue ouo. THE NEW YORK ELECTION FRAUDS. Tho recont elegtion in New York City con- firmod to some oxtent tho impression aiready vory gonoral, that the new and so-called * Re- form ™ party in that city is not actunted by any higher motivas than tho faction whichi “16 dis- placod. Tho work of th upw Government had shown po reduction of expenses prior to the eloction, and the manner in which the clootion was conductod oxhibited the samo contompt for fairness at the polls which was obeerved under tho fulo of Boss Tweed in tho dayas of theotd corrupt Tawmany party. Tho frauds wero of the boldest and most outragogus doseription, and seom to have boon organized under the Joint aus- pices of iho Custom-House Republicans and & coliquo of corrupt Domogrgts.” The most promi- nent mop charged with compligity in theso frands aro Oliver Chinrlick, s Democrat and g mombor of the Board of Police Commissioners appoisjed by Mayor Havemeyer; Henry Smith, & Img Ropublican, and John T, Davenport, United BStatos Commission- or, who mado himsolf obnozipus’ a .yoar ago by a system of jnquisitoripl and arbitrary arrosts. Chatliok's complioity in tho frands was 80 manifost that tho Tnmmquy Hoolcty pxpelled him immediptoly nftor tho clection, and tboy havo further sunoupced thoir intontion of bringlng ohsrgos againgt bim bofore Mayor Havemoyor. Asto Duypnpors, it is said thgt ov- idonop can bo produced ngatnst Lim which wli cnnso him to resign. This is not probable. M, Davonport belongs to that olass of oficoholdors who soldom die and never rosign. 'Tho only remaody which exieta for illogal arrcet is n por- sonal action sgaiust Commissjouer Davenport, 1t s intymated, howovor, that the Lammany As- soclation will supply the counsel and tho necos- sary funds for proscouting all suits that mey bo brought on their merits, To underatand the gituation thoroughly, it must bo rememborod that tho Pgmmony Hall of - to-day is not tho Bfil’fm institution thatlt wgs'n fow yonrs ago, It was thoroughly roorganized aftor tho downfall of Twoed, and hns since claimed to bo in full sympathy with tho Roform movemont. Tho black sheop, undor the load of Jimmy O'Brion, caudidato for Mayor a yoar ago, have strayod off to Apollo Hall, Tho Apollos and Custom-Houso Nepublicaus, it secms, made comumon caueo in the late oleotion, with the pur- pose of securing thréo Blate Benators, Tuelr offorta wore rowntded with only ono; but tho falluro to securo tho other two was through no fonlt of theira; The evidonco beforo tho Tamma« ny Assoolntion Included falso countsof the votos, intimidation of votors, illogal arrosts, tho snm- mnry removal of Tammany inspactors without eauno on tho morning of tho oloction, eto. Afidavits wore prosonted to tho offect that, in one oleotion distriot, tho inspoctora brushed the ballots from tho tablo without counting tliem, and declared Mr, Wilds, tbo Oustom-Houso can- didate for Assomblyman, to be eloctod. In othor distriots, thoro was no protonso of. counting tho Dallots, tho boxes Laving boen talton nway. In ono of the Sonatorial Districts, the nttompt was made to count out the Tammany candidato and count in tho Custom-House candidato. Alto- gothor, tho ovidonco shows s dopraved politiesl condition in no wiso superior to thatof s fow yonrs sgo, when Tammany was tho offendor; and tho oitizons of Now York will do well to in- sist upon » prompt luvestigation and tho impar- tial punielimont of all who shall bo proved to ba guilty, it they donot wish tobo overrun and dowatroddon as in formor yosrs, The Custom- Touso Ring throatons New York moro seriously than Yammany did in its most corrupt daya, —e MR. CLARY’S TESTIMONY. Wo continue this morning tho publication of Mr. Rogistrar Olary's evidenco bofore the Oom- mitteo of the Board of Trado concerning irrogu-~ Tarities in the warchouso business. Tho stato- mont 18 vory diffuso, aud probably appears littlo botter than jargon to those not familinr with the warchouso business, A, Olary, however, makes rome Important statemonits. Bpeaking of tho ‘business and duties of his own offico, ho mays that the rogistration of warehouso rocolptsis in- offcotzal to prevent frauds, but may doteot thom § that the law requires receipts to bo can- coled bofore the grain Is actuslly shipped out, but that this is not dono ; and that all tho olo- vators doliver grain, moro or ‘loss, without the surrendor of rocoipts or their cancollation. It turns out that Mr, Olary's department is not ono of original informntion, Ho obtaina aill hig in- formation as to the amount snd kind of grain in warohouso from the books of the warchouse, and in like manner all ko knows about the slip~ mont of grain, From theso, if tho books are kopt honestly, he ean from time to timo tellhow much grain is in storo, and how many recoipts ought to bo out. When the warchonsemon can- col recoipts, they oxhibit thom to him. Tho quostion that will suggest itaclf is, Of what possible use is the ofiico of Registrar? His ontira duty s00ms to bo to visit tho elovators and copy tholr ontries of reGoipts and. shipments, and eco if thelr receipts have beon duly cancel- ed. Ho admits that the rogistration of roceipts cannot provont fraud; but if tho warchousemen keop their books honestly,'then roglstration will dotect frand, How far a warchousoman, intond- ing to commlt fraud, would kaop his books hon- ontly, is o question that might bo answored by Munu & Scott. ’ 3 But the statoment js mado by Alr. Olary that’ all tho olevators doliver grain more or lees with- out tho surronder of r_u'culpks, ond, "of courso, without cancoling thom, 'So far had the cancel- Intion of roceipts follon behind the shipmenta that Mr. Clary forcibly describos tho situation by Baying that, whon the panie struck Chicago, it caught all these wnrohousomon iith their trousers down.” It doponds on the honosty of tho warobonsemen in purchasing sfd othorwito obtnjning receipte equal to the amount of grain shippad, in ordor to make things oven, Tho law by which tho Stato assumed tho in- speotion of grain, and. generally - tho control of tha warohouse bnsiness, is dofective in tho par- tloular that It makos no provision for a daily ac- count of the grain takon In or shipped out, and leaves tho business of the cancollation of re- celptg at looso ends. Tho law is singularly do- ficiont in penaltiep for many acts which it pro- bibits, and for’ tho non-porformance of othors that it commands.” Tho Loglalature thia winter should romedy all thoso defects, and such othor dofocta as'huive bogn pointed out, 5o that frauds may not only bo dotcoted but provented. THE PENNSYLVANIA CONSTITUTION: . The pooplo of Penneylvania will vote' on'the ndoption of the new Constitution on the 16tk of Decembor. Tho greatest danger which awaits it is in the mopt necossary reform which it con- taing, It haw provislons juregard to clootions that havo beeri preparod with tho express pur- poso of dofonting the frauds by whish tho eloc- tions of Philadelphin and tho Stato of Pennsyl- vania havo boon carried for many ‘years past,. and tho corruptionists threaton-tho defeat of tho Constltution on thisground. If they can induco thoso clnsgos who opporo the prohibitory clauisos to’ join them in this offort, it may bo that tho ‘npw jpstrumont will “fail to scoure n major- ity of votes, and Poupsylyania will bo glven’ ovor to corrupt political rule for yeara to come, which may strongthen itself so wminol in the moantime that it will bo next to impossible ever to crush it out.

A BLOW AT BTO0K-GAMBLING, The Committeo of tho New York Assoclated Tanks Lns mado areport of soveral vory importunt roforms, which linve groatly oxclted the apecu- lators fn Wall stroot. Tho roport recommends that ¢ 1, No bank shal pay interast on deposits, 3. No sheok shall be eortified unidl tho full amount thereof hns beon deposited in tho bank. 3, Oheoks upon associated bauks only to bo rocelves on doposit, S 4. Tho Olearing-Houso Commiltee shall fix tho rate of discount on chooks upon banks out of New York, 8. All chiceks shall bo taken at dopositors’ risk, and collocted through the Olearing-House; thoso not pakl o bo returnod to tho depositors noxt day, Tho renl roforms aro contalned n tho two firat-namod resolutiona, That rolating to intor~ 8t on deposits is ono that is likely to bo adopted by Congross, Its oporation is opon to some uncertalnty, Tho New York banks, by offering o pay intorost on balances, have always attract- ed largo sums of monoy from tho country be- longing to other banks and bankers. Thia ‘monoy, drawing 4 por cont, has beon loaned out at much highor rotes to the stook-gamblers. The prohibition of tho payment of intorost on thoso balances may have the offect of driving all those deposits to the private banking-hounsos, who will not be subject to tho prohibition, and theso Iattor ostablishments may thus gain buai~ ness. . Against this possibility there aro tho many and various ways by which the prohibition- may bo ovaded, When a man hasmonoy to lond, and thero aro porsons wanting to borrow it] and pay for its use, experionce has shown that tho con- traot can bomnde and exccuted in apite of any prohibitory law. Tho whole history of the usury lawa llustratos tho imposelbility of rostrioting the hiring of monoy on any torms agreed upon between thoparties. . 8o tha intercst-on-doposita question is not likely to bo eolved in a hurry. Tho cortification of checke without any corro— sponding deposit by the drawer ia s procesding local and peculinr to New York. It has beenun- lawfully and extousively carried on, Tt hasbeon tho menns by which ali the spepulators in gold and stocks in Now York Liave dono business, A broker purchnsing o “cortificate of stock for 850,000 would draw a chock on the bank whero ho kopt bis acoounts for $45,000, and anothor for $5,000 ; and, pinning the stock-cortificate to thom, sond them to tho bank by,a 14-yoar-old boy, and the bank would return both chooks cer- tifled,—ono for $5,000 on account of his sctual doposit, nnd tho other for §46,000 -on account of the cortifieato of stook, retsining tho lottor an collatoral security .for theloan. This ls the general process by which stocks nro bought and 8014, tho banks holding tho atocks, and fssuing cortifiod ohecks for their amount less an agroed margin, Tho trananotions of this kind ofton ronch $60,000,000 a day. For this amount of chooks the banksheld nothing but the stocl-cor- tificatos, Itisnow proposod to abolish thia practico, and to limit tho cortifying of checks to the amount actually on deposit. This, of courso, breaks up. Wall stroet spoculators who ‘do busi~ ness on marging morely. If the banks lend them monoy ou such collaterals as stocks and bonds, they must do 8o in the manner pmscrll:)cd by law, and not in the haphazard stylo of issu- 1ng cortified checks to be used as carrency, How far thoso reforms are practical can bo ascor- tained in timo; but that any reforms. are pro-’ posed Is ovidonco that tho Now York banks ‘aro sonaible of tho dangora of thelr Intimato alli- auco with tho jobhers of Wall strect. — .

Thoy report that tho abolition of corporal punishmont has affocted tho dlacipline in o varloty of waye, -which theymention in dotail. Thoy sy, particularly, that truanoy is more fro- quent, that poor parents are called away from tholr ocoupations to discipline their childron, that many unroly childron have boen driven into the stroot or to 'tho workhousos, and thnt pupils do not exercise so0 froo & submission of thoir will to that of tho teacher in casen of .sclf-denial or unimpor- tant mattera, Wo epprehiend that tho latter rea- son oxplaina tho desire of tho tonchiers to have corporal punishmont rostored, It is vory likely that tho pupils do not feol thomeolves g0 much enelavod as whon tho rattan is held over tholr hoads ; but wo do not belisve there fe any good roason why they should.
