It Js difficult to set in motion, cumbrous in Its proce esses, dilatory In its) conclusions, ‘The .

His worstenomy couldn't wish Mr, ard a greater injury than to became Pres- ident under these clrewmstances, It would KAM hin politieatly, as Gartield used to say, “ forever and forevermure.” We are tielined to think, indeed, that he has killed binself already by grabbing the vain an delusive power, Me fas shown his-own weakness and want of principle, Yet he Is pleased with the paltry trick whieh gave It ta hin, and rejoices over hts. dishonorable con nivance, procured by disfranchising three Senators, as a child docs over a new toy, Woaro quite sure that so sinall-minded a inan as Mr, Bayard ts will never Ilve to bo President of the United States, Mr, Gronae Briss has written a letter to the New York Pines defending his conduct in oppusing the reorganization of the Repub- lican party machinery In New York. Mr. Bliss is much concerned to prove his con> sistency, and has been adroit enough to lend the Times olf thon that faise scent. We care nothing about his consistency, We shoutd as svon look for consistency tn a bumble-bee ag ina politician of the stamp of Mr. George Bliss, polnt iy that hls defense on Its merits, entirely apart from hls previous ree- ord on this question, Is radleally unsound, disingenuous, tnd logical, For example, Mr. Bilss says? a But in my opinion the Intervention of the State Cunvention with the alfulrs of the Hepub- Jieans of the elty should at any time be rangit only ng wiextreme measure, The 41,000 Repub- Hewns in New York City ace as inet entitied to mannge their own alfalrs as wee Cie TOK) Mee publicans, more or less, In Woodin'a Cayuga or Sosstons’ Chautauqua, und, to Judge from the kind of men they et Cue public oilice, a good deal pivre eompetent. ‘Thy lugenuity with which Mr, Bliss man- ages to prt his opponents In the wrong snd to ‘steal their thunder to confound thei with cannot. by too much admired. ‘The argu- ment whieh he advances for nut recognizing tho clty districts ts the argument which shey have been constantly using fur doing that very work, It is becanse tho $1,000 Repub- licans In New York aro “as much entitled to manage tholr own affairs ag nara the Re- publicans in Cayuga or Chautaugua’ that the anthniachinists wish to reorgunize the elty associations, Tho Republicans In New York City do not now manage thelrown alfuirs, Mr. George Bliss and about 4,000 of his trlends, representing an equal mumber of dead men and non-residents, havo kindly taken that task off thelr hands, ‘Mr. Bliss defeated reorganization, It now ap pears, by a trick, Ie caused the candidates to be nominated first, and then threatened to knife thei all if they interfered with the elty associations, Thus tho resolution was tabled. ‘Hho State Committee has ample power to preseribe a uniform rule for the representation of Republicans juall parts of the State, giving the clty Republicans the snine advantages, no more ant no less, 25 thoso of the country, The committes will be derelict in ts duty if it does uot adopt such a rule before the next State Convention is held. THE ELECTIONS TUESDAY. ‘The success of the Republican ticket In the Obie election Tuesday was not wholly unex- pected, yet it was in some respects a note- worthy triumph, Owing to the illness and death of President Gartleld, the campaign had been unusually lifeless, ‘There was comparatively no public speaking, and avery deficlent organization... Experlence has dem- onstrated that these are ‘couditluns peeul- Jarly favorable to Democratic snece: Little or no urging is required to bring the Democrats to the polls, while there is acer tain proportion of Republicans why cannot be got out wnless thay receive a special invle tadou., ‘The Prohibitiontsts, too, were very active, and thelr strevath Is Aimost wholly drawn from tha Re- publican vote, It was believed, fur Uese and other reasons, that the coutest woald by close, If not doubtful, and diag tie: Democrats were nore likely than not to carry the Legislature. ‘The Legislative dis. trlets, it should be remembered, were nid out by a Democratic Legistature in 1871, and a Republican majority of 5,40 to 10,000 Is required to overcome the effects of former kerrymanderlag, ‘The Republican yietory was much nore complete than any save the most sanguine of tho managers had dared to hope tor, Ac> cording to the Jatest advices Faster and the Wwholu State ticket are lected by ma- Jovities ranging from 12,000 lo 20; two out of three of the Stato ators and ning out of ten of the Represent. atlyes elected in Hamilton County aro Republicans, and the Logislatiae fe certalnly Nepublican in voth branches. ‘hls means that no plan of redlatricting the Stale in.the Democratic interest can possibly get through, ‘Tho whole government of the Stato is to be in Republican hands, ‘The Prontvition vote, which contributed a special clement of wocertainuty to the cam- palin, will probably exceed 12,000, which ts threo tines ts large ng the vote enst for the ‘Tevtotal caudidate In the Foster-Ewing cnm- paign of 1870, Nearly all of this vore came from tho Republican side, ‘The faet that Foster was able jo poll so consideravly. 0 plurality in spite of it ty tresh evidence of his strength with the poople, ‘here were also npumber of distracting {ssues In amilton County, invelving many spilt tickets and o great deal'of wrangling butweeu the face tons, If nono of these discordant clroum- stances had attached to .the campaign, and there had been u fairly netive canvass, with the question of supporting a Gartield Adiin- istration in the foreground, we beliove Alr, Foster wight easily haye had a plurality of 25,000, As it fs, the election in Ohlo Is significant enough.

As might. have been pedicted, tals tally to salisty the watered-stovk sueculators of Wall street, Our dispatetes represent them as Indienant, over the parsimony of the Treasury. Ade- eling of prices, In Governinent bonds and wild-eat stocks alike, expresses the disap- noluttnent of the gambling operators, who fancy that they voice the opinion of tinan- vlul efretes. Seeretary Windom found that the revelpts of the ‘Treasury during Sep- tember were 35,000,000 grenter than the dis- bursements. ‘That he hastens to return to the channels of business. deelines to go, beeause he could not pay out alarger sum without Invading the reserve held agalnst the fegat-tenders, or using the monty seb apart for the payment of called bonds, * One of the signs of the times is the clamor of speculators for rellel from the ‘Treasury Yor the money market, If fs more than a straw showing whieh way: the wind blows; Itisastorneiiag, Itisn sign that specula- thon and railroad pullding have absorbed capltul to 2 dangerous point. Speculators have been buying corn, oats, whent, cotton, and rallroad stocks with borrowed money, wntil they have used up all the Hoating capl- tol of the New York money market, and have made Its equilibrium so unstable Unt it cannot endure the temporary withdrawal to tho ‘Treasury vaults of the money paid for tases. A siinpla comparison of fiaures will shaw how speculation will outrun its resources. During the past year $125,000,000 of gold inve been added to our stock, Inthe same time the Tregsury has increased Its holdings of money $41,280,000, And yet Wall street has the eifrontery to elutm that the monetary stringency now felt in New York is due to the absorption of money by the ‘Treasury, and this preposter- ous nssertion Is supported by such Journals as the Boston sidvertiser aul the New York "Pounetal Chronitele., (At present prices tho visible suvply of grain and cotton requires §:11,000,00) nore of cash to curry ft than was needed a yearago, If we turn to stocks wo find prices enormously swollen above the figures of a yearage, Unton Pacific that ts now 118 was S8YZ a yenr ago.

In his address before the Bankers’ Convention in August, Cone troller Knox stated that on May J, 1881, the total mmount of coin and paper currency in the country was $1.190,510,950, Yet in the face of this vast clreulation we are asked to belleve the business of New York, and with itthat of the whole country, Is endangered because the Treasury Departnient holds the {rifling proportion of $41,289,000 mare than {¢ dliiayenrago., Of thly sum, thirty iniliions isreserved against ealled bonds which are still extant among the people, serving ag the basis for bank elreulatton, and for collateral for loans, and thus: fulltiling most of the uses of money. Tho Watl street organs cannot prove their ense, If thoy had luoked much nesrer home they would have found the true cause of their dimeultles, ‘The statement of the New York banks shows that they have pushed up their foans tosuch a point that their reserve ts below the Hmit required by the Jaw. ‘Their toans Oct, 1 were $550,500,000 against $399,509,000 of deposits. During the past year thelr de- posits have deelined $2,115.700, while thelr Jonns haye Inerensed $12,602,700, This is progress In the wrong direction. How dif- ferent is the situation In Chicago, where the banks doa sound and fexitimate business, While the loans of tho Chicago National banks have increased durlag the year from $20,800,000 to $31,500,000, the deposits hava gone up from $44,600,000 to $60,000,000. Our Jonnable resources linve Increased much faster than our Joans. ence while Now Is tIuttering in the tolls of monetary strin- Beney, Chicago Is doing an active and pros- perous business with perfect ense. If Naw York would recover Its financial balance It inust eat down its lonnson speculative trash and erase appealing to the ‘lreasury forhelp, Tho more of the latter they get the more thoy will need, In Ovtober, 1872, lu New York, money was very tight, a stock panic was at hand, appents for help went wp from Wall street to Washington, ‘he help was given by the deposit of $10,000,000 of legul- tenders by Secretary Bontwell In the New York banks, But the panto was only stayed, not prevented, It camo back with frresisil- Ula force within a year, and Secretary Kleh- ardsun’s tasu0 of $20,000,000 of greenbacks avulled nothing, In its appeals to the Treas: ury Wallstreet fs now repeating Its history.

Tho Court ot Appeals of New York has within a few days handed down 2 deelsion declaring the Inw upon, a question of great fnterest, which -fs worthy of attention fn every community, Abouto year azo It bee came known in Albany County that the grossest frauds had been committed upon the County Atiditing Board by the presenta- ton of unwarranted elalms, The boldest and most successful oflenders agulnst the fnws touching this subject were belfeved to Len cortatn clique of undertakers, who, by connivance with the Coroners, had been enabled for a number of years to obtain pay- ment of bills tor taking caro of ant bury: Ing na bodies of paupers and those upon whom inqnests had been held the re. mains of persons which In sume cascs the claimants had never even seen, They had thus obtalued thousands of dollars, In order to throw all possible, Ieht upon the matter, the Hemized billy of the undertakers Inst presented wera’ pud- shed in fall in the columns of the nuwepapers of Albany, snd it then becamo Kirown that In many eases where tho cll tuts had attended to the buelalof the per sons pated In their bills they had revel vod Tull payment for their services from. suryly- ing relatives, So brazen had these swindters bevome Chat they ineluded In thelr bills as reeelvlug pupers’ burial persons who had: been buried with military and soclets: honors by local organtzations, ‘These dls- closures aroused great indignation, es- peeriaiy among the worthy poor, many of whom had drawn npon thelr Httle hoard of savings or plucked and serliped for months te give the ‘temains of loved ones dccunt Ine turment, and to sive them from tho stigma of pauperlsin. ‘Nhe sue ful perpetrution of these frauds did not necessarily lead to tho Inference uf carruption in the Auditing Board, as fty members refied to avery great extent upon the Coroner's eertifieate uf cor- rectness, and the short fine allowed for thelr sessions provented further investigation, Public oplaion strongly finpressed upon the county proseeuting oficer the duty of taking action In the matter, aud the Coroners and a number of undertakers were indicted, Several were brought to trial, but the ane case Whirl attracted most attention, dnd Which hns become tho occasion of declaring the law (the anly ona In whieh conyletion was obtadned), was that of Cornelius O'Rlelly, Ags the penalty for presenting u fraudulent demand was a comparatively Nght one, the Aistriet-Attorngy procured Indictments for perjury, based ‘Ou the false oath to the cor- teetness of the Dill, and for this offense O'Rellly was arralgned and placed on trial, Under the advice of one of tho best lawyets, ho attempt whatever was made to establish: the justness of tho clafin, tho defense being placed on the slnple’ paked ‘proposition that, ho form,of oath having beun orally repeated by the Comtulsstonor uf Deeds, no oath was taken, notwithstanding the alidavit was signed by O'ftelily In the presenca'ef the Commissioner, who was atO’ellly's place of business by appointinent with him to admin- {ster the oath, The Commissioner swore that words were spoken and responded to, Svv- eral bystanders, friends of the accused, testl- fled thut nothing was sak.

We print this morning 0 communication protesting against tho actlon of the City Counell in refusing the Mutual Telegraph Company the right.to erect poles for their wires from the elty limits to the centre of the city, ‘The privilege was asked tempo- rarily—thatls, for two years, and until the un- derground system should prove a success, Wo do not think our correspondent’s objec- {ons are valid, and we think the action of the Counell was entirely justifiable. ‘There Is an ordinanes of the clty prohibiting the erection of any more telegraph poles; this ordinance was not passed until it became na necessity no longer to be delayed. We have no ques- tion that. tho present owners of the Mutual Company have no purpose to bulld a line of telegraph that It may be sold out, but asall other telegraph companies havo sold out, and as It Is possible that a majority of tho stock of this company aay be purclinsed, there [Is no cortainty that lis control may not follow that of all its predecessors, Itistlne that the elty should be relieved of the unsightly poles, and the Council has taken the first aud proper stap to that end by prohibiting tho erection of any more. ‘The application In this cise was to authorize the erection of so many additional poles as might bo necessary for the uses of a company that expeets to do all the telegraphing business of ils city. The Connell properly refused this privilege, The tayIng of telegraph-wires underground Is practiced in all the cltles of Europe, and the telegraph companies of PhiJadelphia, prohibited from erecting any more poles, are laylng theirsvires underground, So long as the companies ure allowed to erect poles they will not lay their wires underground, be- cause the use of poles is comparatively much cheaper, So Jong as the laying of wires underground fs not a physteal impossibility, sud so Jong as that process will not prevent or brenk up the telegraph business, then the souner this company adopts the new plan the better. “Lhis ordinance is not a discrimination aguinst the new compantes, beenuge all other com pantes are also prohibited from erecting any poles, ‘Che Counell retains the power to compel all other companies to take down tho poles now In use, and that tis power will be exercised In due time there cannot bo any doubt. Tho ordinance was right I itself, and should beadhered to by tho City Council. Dn, Parkuvnst may not-be subjected to another trial for slander, but another ex- planation ts certninly In order, In his stute- meus before the conference In regard te lis remarks about Dy, Thomas he led the public to believe that Mr, Hill, the theatrical mana- gor, had tempted tw to visit a performance kiven by the comedian, Denman Thompson, He inthmated that Mr. HIM first suggested. that hu coukd do this without any publicity. But Mr. 1K has made a public statement of tha conversation which dliTers easentially from that of Dr, Parkhurst, and Mr. EMI's brother, who heard tho talk, coutirms the Intter’s version. Dr. Parkhurst was dls waraging Mr, His pusiness and decrying the theatres, Mr. TUM suggested that it wasn't falr to condenm that business whhout knowing what ft was, and olfered Parkhurst the use of a box: but Parkhurst declined, saying that “so far ag hhugelé was concernod he would very qineh Ike to see tho play If ib were not for what other peopla would gay.” -‘Phis was 0 peeullar position. for ® gentleman of Dr, Parkhurst’s pretensions to take. Wa sup- posed that the Methodist Church condemned play-going, and that It was because Dr, Park- lurst thoroughly butleved in the Methadlst Discipline that ho would not go to tho theatre or tolerate theatre-golng In others, But, if Mr, ITM has quoted Dy. Parkhurst correetly, then Dr, Parkhurst would tike to zo to the theatre “1f It were not for what other people would say.” Is this ood Methodist’ doc- Wine? Are Mothodlst ministers governed in matters of discipline only by “ what other people would say"? Evidently it Is proper that Dr, Parkhurst should take the floor ugaln, After that, Mr. Arthur Dixon may elatin the right to be heard, ‘Tuk sentence of the conference on Dr. Thomns wes expulsion not only from the mine iatry, but from tho membership of tho Method- fut Courob, My what autnurlty, or for what of fonso, was ho excluded from mumborship? ‘Thle lau quostlon that touches yory nearly all pore Gone in the Mothadlet connection.
