THURBDAY, MARCH 6, 1879, A LO3T OPPORTUNITY. The President missed a glorious oppor- tunity to do tho State some service—a thing, by tho way, which a President is not in a position to do every doy in the year—when he consented to sign the River and Harbor Appropriation bill, All advices agree that ho jutonded to voto the bill, and hind gone 80 far s to writo his veto mesange, but that, a8 soon s this fact was noised about in the lobby, ho was beset by * Cabinot members, Senators, and Congressmen,” and finally yielded to their pernicious persansions, Buch a pressure wns sure to bo brought to bear upon him, becauso the bill only suc- ceeds in Congress by combining all the sce- tional interests, and thus securing the sup. port of Representntives and Bonntors from allparts of tho country, Thosamoe community of intereats would naturally bonr down upon tho Prosidont. But circumstances wore peculiarly favorable this “year to a voto. In running up the bhill to 8,500,000, Congress so far ontran the lim- ita of decency that no large opposition could havo been organized against tho Presidont on account of his veto, Thon, too, it was certoin that thoro wns to be an oxtra session of Congress in any cnse, by ronson of the failure of the Logislative and Army Appro- ‘priation bills, so that the River and Harbor bill could have been vetood without sacrific- ing tho fow meritorious improvemonts It provides for, sinco these could be included in n now bill ot the oxtra sossion. Tho Pres- idont scoms to bave boon influonced ot the Inst by the atatomoent that Congresa would surely pass o similar bill at the oxtra session by so largo a wmnjority ns to rendor a voto powerlosy; but he should have remembored that his intorferonco, and the public atten. tion which a voto would direct, wmight result in a materinl roduotion of these approprin- tions, and he tnight bave onjoyed tho satisfac. tion of saving the country at least two or three millions, If not this, then he would hiave put upon o Congress Dowocratio in both Houses tho responsibility for this huge and indefensiblo job. The River ond Harbor bill in Congross occupios much tho sawo relation to tho Na- tional npproprintions as the item for sowers in the municpa! approprintions of n growing clty. It s the rosult of log-rolling and tiading. Just es the Aldermen from ono ward ogree to voto appropriations for sew. ors in onothor ward in cousiderntion of a similar concession frons the Aldermen whom thoy thns accommodate, so in Congress Honators from one State and mombors from ono section voto e;tmvagnnt oud unneces. sary appropriationa for othsr States and dis- tricts in order to securo u favorabla henring for the claims urged upon them by their own constituents, It is Ly means of this kind of accumulation that the bill grows; without such trading, tho approprintions for rivers and harbors would bo limited to publio fm. provements of actual value, which wonld probably bo covered by an oxponditure of $2,000,000 ennually, Under tho prevailing custom, howover, the bill includes a list of rivers which cannot be found in the latest editions of tho geographies, and horbors that hiave searcoly a mud-scow to give war. raut to tho title, ‘Tho Listory of this year's River and Har- bor bill has been ospacially scandalous, The rocommondations of the War Departmeont (and Dopartmont cstimates aro notorlously excossive) were for about $5,000,000; first {Leo Houdo oxcsodod this exoess, and then the Senate doubled up on Houso items, and incorporated new itoms, till the total was run up to nearly $9,000,000. This includes an”appropristion of pearly $2,000,000 for continuation on tho work of Eavs' jettios at tho mouth of tho Mississippi, thongh thero Lias been no satisfactory acoounting for tho moueys alrendy spont on that undertak. ing. ‘This item camo very ucar break- ing down tbe bill, and it was only two or throo days ago that its fallure was predicted by reason of tho utter rocklossnoss of the Sonote additions, Iudeed, soveral Benators minde & dosporato effort to dofoat tho job.

Father Epwann Punoeen kept what ha called his pegounts,” the ontlook isutterly hopeless for poor dopositors whose entiro savings have beon swallowed up and lost sight of in this abyss of bad management. A nmmber of bills wore passed in tho INli- nola Sonate yesterday, among them the bill enlarging the juriadiotion of County Courts; tho bill requiring the Governor’s appointeos as Ponitontiary Commissioners to bo ap. proved by tho Senato; a Dbill rolating to the earo of hedgo fences; o bill amendatory of tho law regarding injunctions; a bill to regulato town elections ; aud o bill prohibit. ing tho transfer by insuranco companies of suits from tho State to the Federal Courts, under penalty of tho forfeiturs of their licenso to do business in this Btate. The National Buttor, Cheese, and Egg As- sociation is holding its annual Convention in this city, and the trado is represented by an unusually lavge attendance of dealers and shippers in dairy and len products. The figures presonted in tho different raports show the immense proportions to which this iutorest hns increased aud its olaime to con- sideration by reason thereof. Bomo intcrost. ing facts in relation to tho manner in which the butter and chocse producers of the United States ara haudicapped by tho oxist- 1ng tariff regulations wero brought to the no- tico of tho Convention by the Prosident in his annual addross.

The completa atory of the troubles that have coma upon Archbishop Puncery, of Oincinnati, through the drendful finauciering of himself aud his broker, Father Epwanp Punoert, as told by the Now York Sun, is o pitiablo one,—pitiable mors when one con- siders tho victims then ‘the prelate. Tho ‘broker begon to dischargo his dutiesas finan- cinl agent to the thon Bishop in’ 1838, tho year of ordination, In 1860 the Bishop was made Archbishop, and from that time to thie tho savings of the many congre- gations in his diocess have bosn intrusted to tho Puncevrs for eafo keeping, Tho panio woakened confidence in them, but the run did not commenco until the recont bauk-tail- ures in Cinoinnatl, Then the searad dopos- itors flocked to the Episcopal residenco to got their money, only to find it gone. Sev- oral prominent persons in Cincinnati and tho priests in tho diocese contributed $40,000 for tho roliof of tho Bishop, not kuowing tho extont of tho disaster, and supposing 1t would bo ample nid jn the emergoncy, It was but a drop in the bucket, for six mill. jons lind gone,—nn uttor, hopoless, irrotriev- ablo loss to tho creditors,—gono as com- plotely ag if ho had piled it in o hoap and burned it. Tho other day wo asked the quostion what had become of this money. ‘Pho Sun's arlicle answers it. The money recoived lins beon used g rovenua for Church purposes. It has built churches, sohools, and convents, beon exponded in support of {ho poor, and beon squandered in gifts. How recllossly and cruolly the trust was administered- 18 shown by the following statoment: ) “'From what I canlearn, the factaseem to ho that ho Rev, Father Puncess patd tho whole cost of the Cathedral, as now appears, from the depositors’ monsy.

Yet he ot no time inveated oven a titho of tho funds o ob- tained in any way that would return him 6 per cont. Father Puncrry lent out larze sums of money to private tadividusls and busincss Arme sithout age- quate sccurity, often without tritten acknowle edgment. He loancd moncy at stipulated rates of intereat, and thon, when the borrowera pleadod poverty, would romit the Interest,— sometimes the principal also, Ho would receiva depoeits, give the dopositors. mero momoranda on bits of paper. and fall to make any entry of tho sums so reccived upon records for his own Information, When intercst was clalmed lio would jot down the amount on the buck of the old mentorandum. Whon he made loans to cliurches, In many fustances ho dld not take notes or other records. Tho Archblshop knew he was faithful, Iodustrions, frugal, aud honost, and bee lleved him capable, but the Archvlshop was no Judgo of capacity iu that direction. As ono who has known him for many years sald of bim to-day: *Ho knows the differcace between the eures on a five-dollar and a Gve-hundrod-dollar note, but at- taches no mora Jmportunce tu one than tho other, and anything deemed by him a deserviug object of charity would getthe latter justas readily os the former,'" In its extont tho disastor oxcoods any of tho recont collnpses of insuranco companies or savings bavka, aa thero are no nssets leff. Buits havo boon brought, but nothing ean bo rocovored unlesa the Church proporty can be taken, and none of the plany suggosted for relief, such na fairs, lottories, and national subacriptions, will commond themsclven to popular favor or come within tho limits of proprioty, It s & gigontic disnster, with little or nothing to reliove ity misery. What- ovor othor result may happen from it, it ought to be n solomnn and losting warning to Ohurch authorities to keep out of the bank- ing businoss, especially whon an uttor igno- rance of fluanclering will defeat the best and moat honost of intontions, — FOREIGN INSURANCE COMPANIES, Thero are two, nud porbaps more, bills pendivg in the Logislnture having for their purposo the prohibition of any insurance in this Stato by sny ingurauce company char- tered by any foreign Government. Oue of these bills provides that enclh company shall doposit with tho State Auditor, bofore doing business in this Btate, bonds of the United States to an nmount yiclding equal to 4 per cent on $160,000, and tho othor roquiresa deposit of bonds produciog interest equal to 6 per cont on §200,000. Of course none of thicso companies cau or will comply with nuy stich requiremeont, ‘This demand fora sep- arate deposit in Illinola does not apply to any insuranco company organizod undor the Inws of ny State of the Union, It admits tho companies of nny other State, whether of Maine, Virgiula, Florida, Tunuessco, Arkan. sa8, Nobraska, or Oregon, to do busiuess Lere without any auch spooial deposit ; but it is intended to apply to the Qauadlan, the Liverpool, tho London, tho B8cotoh, tho Fronch, and Gorman companies who mam. tain ngoncies in this country,® If any por. tion of the Amerloan peopla hisvo substantial reasons for gratitude for foreign insurance companies, the pooplo of this Btato have. After tho Chioago firo, mourly tho whole brood of local companios went up in the smoko; some fow of the Enstern companies nobly mot their lossoa, "I'ho Illinois jnsur- ance, howover, pald out from 5 to 26 cents on tho dollar; some compnnies in other Btates, 40 to 60; o fow Eastorn companios, 100 conta; but all the foreign companies paid their losses in full promptly. ‘There is nc ono who opooly ventures to domand the exclusion of theso companica from doing busincss in Illinois, though o legal gontloman of this city is now at Bpring- fleld lobbying for the pusssge of this bill, Who are his constituenta? Whow doos ho represont? Ho is not there giving hls timo sud sorvices pro bono publico.

Good insuranco is ono of the essentinls of eradit and prosporous trade. No good and substantial insurance company in the United Sintes has noy objeotion to sharing its risks with tho Britlsh, Fronch, German, Canadian, or other fareign cowmpanies, Wheon a risk is divided botwoen such companios and sound Amorican compnuies, thera s an ndditional credit given to tho insured, and men of good crodit rargly ovor sot firo to their property. This oity owes au immen- sity .to {ho foreign insurance com- panfos,- and no history of tho recovery of Chicazo from tho disnstgpns fires of 1871 and 1874 will bo fair or just that docs not awnrd full credit to the promptuess, fidelity, and sorupulons integrity, shown by all the foreign insuranco compnnies. T'ho effcct of tha pasage of alther of thesa Ditls s as cortoin as is tha intontion of those who liave suggested them, A foreign iusur. anco company places on doposit in Now York, wo will say, $600,000, subject to the draft of its ngonts to pny losses oceming in tho United States, As losses ccour the pay- ments sra mado and tho doposit is made good. If, howavoer, 8200,000 be required to bo deposited in Illinois, and like sums rang- ing from $1560,000 to $200,000 be roquired to bo doposited in cach of the thirty-oight States of tho ,Union, tho total smount required would run up into millions, snd tho amount available for payment of losses at nny point would be limited to the sum on deposit at that point. As no company would ovor seattor its monoy in this way, or conld do 80 evon if it wonld, the passaga of this bill would, ns is well understood and in- tended, compel the withdrawal from this Stato of nll insurance by such compannies, and thus deprive the owners of proporty of that quality of insurance, It is tobo hoped the Legislature will not sanction any such mischiovous, proseriptive, and prohibitory leglslation, the injurious 'offccts of which will fall oxclusively on our own property- holdors and peoplo. , Good insurance isnone too abundant now. BHALL WE HAVE HONEST ELEOTIONS} Thera remain but thirtcen days before Congross iu oxtrn session will reopon the questions that havo been distracting tho country, and the Domocratic majority will resumo its revolutionary maneuvros towards the accomplishmont of its political conapir- ncy. Meanwhile it is important that tho people should thoroughly understand tho squestion in issue, and- that it should be pre- sonted in tho discussion outside of Congress upon its naked merits and stripped of every- thing thnt tends to oonceal its real chiaracter. The cffort of tho Domoorats to repeal the atatuts covering the National clactions is in the interest of frao bullot-box stuffiug aud the withdrawnl of all protoction of the fran. chiso whorae there is a disposition to swindle, That is all there is to the queation. - The law provides that, upon the application of a cor- tain pumber of citizens, a Buporvisor of Tlections shall ba appointed from esch party at the expeneo of tho Goneral Government, whoso duty shall bo to dotect aud provent and to seo that tho vote i counted and roturned correctly. What could ba fairer? Tho law was framed in the inter. ests of honest oleotions, It goea into opora. tion whoraver an application is made by vither party, It applies. only to Federal olections, It oncronches upon no Btate right. It caunot intorforo with tho proccss or progress of any local olection. « It ia unag- gressive and non-partisan, It is absolutely fair and impartial in its operation, and its only intention is to gunrantoo the honesty ond purity of eloctions, From tho very nature and character of the law, it is appar- ont that no party can object to it which is not. in favor of awindling, bulldozing, and ballot- box stufling, By what abnormal pecnliarity of “political temporamont is it that the Dawmocratio lend- ers aro always opposed to overy protootion ngninst fraud in oloctions? This hns beon tholr recond ovor sinco 1844, when thoy oheatad Hesny Cray out ‘'of tho Presidenoy by tho notorious Plaquemine frauds, which gavo Loulsiaua to Powx, and by their colos. ol frauda in New York and Ponnsylvania, whero the total voto showed the propor. tion of oma voter to ovory five in. habitants, which {8 o physical and mornl impossibility in any community ox- copt whera every man is u voter and outitled to voto; and thero aro no such communities In tho United States. They aro opposod to rogtstration. ‘Chyy oro opposed to naturali- zatlon, 'Thoy are in favor of tho largest op- portunitios for froa fraud aud for freo vot. ing, which means unlimited voting without regord tolaw, voting of averybody, ** early and ofton,” and without punishmont, They have no compunotions in stenling any offics, from that of Prosident down to Cou. atable, by all the corrupt procosscs for de. fonting honost elections, It s concoded that eight or ten Doemocratic membors of Con. gress from tho Boutls havo boen elected by tho most unblushing frauds, and not a Dam- ooratio voice Lias beun hoard in condomnn. tion of tho outrage, Investigation of some of theso cases have alrendy boen followed by criminal indictments, ond to prevent punish. ment the Domoceratic Jeaders proposo to re. pent tho laws that have boon violated, not only that the guilty partles may oscape, but that mora sconndreliam of' the sawe sort may be perpotratod in tho future. To add to tha fnfamy of this revolutionary pro- caoding, thoy biave fastoned tho demand for vopeal upon an Appropriation bill, whero it Lins no right or authority to Lo, and insolent. ly uolify the Administration thnt the appro- printions for current exponses shall not be voted uuless the amendment for frec fraud is allowed, It is of no use to mince words about this outrago ; the emergenoy is too grave.

It was brought nbout finally by threatencd evidenco moroderogatory than anything that has yot trauspired a3 to tho choracter of the docoased Commodore, It has cost Witrease IL, the oldest son and principal heir, 81,000,000 besides the legal oxpensed, which amount to o considerable The suit was o good investmont for CQonxerius and Mrs, Le Bau, who thus re- ceive just double tho amonnt they would Nevortheloss, it has boen n disreputnble sort of exhibition Nono of tho partics to the suit have come oubt of 1t with any particular It is gonerally understood that Wirntast I, Vanpesomr had agreed to give Conxnertus $1,000,000 if he would not con- sum, otherwise have reccived, throughout, aeredit, tost the will; if 80, he should have lived up {o that agreemont without being foreed to Lkeap faith by the eoxposure of domostia troubles. At thosama time, tho Commodore's sucecssor, in yielding finally to avoid further ronndal, has shown himself more sonsitive to his father's reputation than the Commodore himuelf would have been nnder similar cir- oumstances. From what wo kuow of the decensed Vanoenniut's character, we should sy that no amount of blackmnil, and even no foar of exposures founded on truth, would aver have succceded 1n making bim yield ono dollar of his hoard, ITe was apparently in. differont to criticism and the opinion of his follows, ‘The suit was terminated by o withe drawal of all charges of undue influcnce by the widow of tho late Commodors, but it has ocenpled so much public attention within tho Ingt fow months that everybody will have an opinion of his own as to that motter. A good many poople will bo flrm in tho belief that, n man of Oommodore VANDERBILT'S great self-roliance nnd norvo was not to bo swayod by s woman or any of the influences with which sho could purround him, The readlng and ob. servation of othurs will lead them to think that Vanperniet, though a man of iron will, iinmonso wealth, and groat cournge in busi- ness affairs, wns just tho sort of person to yiold to womanly direction in the Iator years of his life, and to lend a willing car to Bpiritunlism or other influonces of n mystic or superstitious character, * Thé conclusion |- of all the ovidence which tho contestants proposed to produce would not probably have worked any important chouge in the various judgmeonts of tho public, no matter what the verdict in the Surrogate’s Court might have boen.

The annual cxaminatlons for admission to Harvard College, and to the Scientifle, Law, and Medical Schools of Horvard University, are to be held next June In this cley, a3 well as in Cam- Urldeze and Cincinuati.

Yale Immediately adopted the new idea; so that, fn 1870, Harvard held examinations {n Cin- cionati and Yalo fn Chicago.
