When Messrs. Duncan & Sherman failed he bought very heavily, as was generally under- stood, of various stocks, to prevent the market from tumbling downwards at a panic rate. When the stoppage of the Bank of Onlifornia threatened, on Friday, to send stocks down again, Mr. Gould was once more ready to buy and keep the market firm. It is a fortunate thing for the street and the country that we have a man so public spirited as to take a load on his shoulders which the street, the mass of speculators, dares not or is unable to hold. There have been people who accused Mr. Gould of being a merely selfish speculator— a man who had regard for no interest but his not unlike that in Mr, Tilton’s story. The Semsitive Phillips. Mr. 8. L. Phillips, the President of the Third Avenue Railroad, is as sensitive as he is facetious. We had not the slightest desire to make him ridiculous. On the other hand, we were only too anxious to honor him. Lord Byron is reported to have said of him- self that he arose one morning and found himself famous. Mr. Phillips has done better even than Byron. He made a speech intended to be convincing in its seri- ousness, and there is every reason why he should be surprised at the result—that speech has made his reputation as the funniest man in America. The whole production was as extraordinary in its way asa Third avenue car, with which nothing by the Carlists have convinced even the Pre- tender that it is useless to continue the strug- gle for the possession of the Spunish crown under the present condition of affairs, If Carlism were not the outgrowth of an unres soning fanaticism we might believe that the utter hopelessness of the work its leaders have set themselves to accomplish would in- duce them to throw down their arms and re~ store peace and prosperity to their country.

It is the fate evident: that Carlism-was a local evil, and that even its alliance with the Church party was unable to raise it to the dignity of a great national party.

Neither Blaine, nor Wilson, nor Washburne, nor Conkling would have any pretensions to lead a campaign against the inflationists which could compare with those of President Grant. The probable conse- quence of an inflation victory in Ohio would be a third nomination of General Grant and his defeat in the election by the invincible opposition of the people to a third term.

The State election in California to-day is not likely to have much effect in Ohio, go which way it will. California seems outside the general arena for several reasons. It is so distant that it is not in close political sym- pathy with the rest of the country. It hasa set of interests peculiar to itself. The cur- rency question, so prominent in Ohio, has no meaning for the people of California, among whom there has never been any division of opinion on this subject. The California election turns on local issues, and parties aze so split that to people at a dis- tance the canvass is scarcely intelligible. The sudden failure of the Bank of California and death of its President introduce a new element of uncertainty; but if these events had not occurred the democrats would have carried the State. Mr. Ralston, heretofore a republican, giving a zealous support to the party, had been abetting the democrats in the democrats are defeated Governor Tilden has no chance of a Presidential nomination, and, on the other hand, unless the republi- cans are defeated the inflation issue will rise into sufficient importance to reconcile the party to another nomination of President Grant. No State canvass, in what is called an ‘‘off year,” was ever watched by the country at large with so keen an interest as that which is now in progress in Ohio: Cable Rates. Isthe Anglo-American Cable Company a legitimate enterprise or a mere speculative adventure? We notice that the managers are publishing figures whose purpose is to show that the recent reduction of the rates has not so far produced a corresponding increase in business, and that the result is a decrease in the gross revenue. But these figures do not show that the amount of business the company are now doing at the present lower rates is unremunerative; and if the reduc- tion of rates had really inflicted a loss it would be difficult to account for the recent rise in the price of Anglo-American stock. If the managers of the company would perfect their system of administration so as to trans-- act business more promptly and with greater regularity they would satisfy their customers and the public and secure in a short time a handsome increase of business, To raise the rates to the old figures, as they ap- pear now to threaten, would bring down upon them justly the indignation ofthe commercial class on both continents, and would cause a How long can he be expected to keep it up? Can he continue to carry the whole street on his shoulders? They are broad; he is strong; nobody pretends to doubt his ability to bear burdens, But is he not carrying too great a load? Can hecarry still more? Suppose we should have one or two, or half a dozen more heavy failures? No doubt Mr. Gould will continue to buy; he is not a man to falter in an undertaking. He will increase his load. But may it not become too great even for him? It must be gratifying to him to be able to play the part ’of Atlas; but suppose Atlas should break down? Suppose he should want to unload and find it impossible todoso? Itis a momentous thought, and yet strangerthings have happened. A year ago poor Mr. Ralston, over in California, probably thought himself also an Atlas, but on Thursday he saw that the load was too great for him. It is a nice thing to carry the whole street on one’s shoulders; but it must be unpleasant to Mr. Gould to reflect that the load he is carrying is constantly increas- ing, and that the favorable time to get rid of it seems constantly more distant. For our own parts we advise people to stand from under. Atlas has broad shoulders and a stout frame, but some day he may tumble, and it isa critical thing when a whole world as well as his humor find full vent. He evi- rests on a single pair of shoulders. Mr. Morrissey on Wages. It has been finely observed that a good man struggling with adversity is a spectacle for the admiration of the gods ; and if it is possible to get up a finer show than that we dently loves that noble animal the horse, for which the distinguished Mr. Bergh has also a great affection, or he would not be satisfied with a mile an hour as the speod of a street car in the busy periods of the day. It is cer- tain that he loves his own kind also, or he would not press them so tenderly and closely together and refresh them for hours with the odors of the Bowery and Third avenue. Twenty-seven mill- ion people enjoyed his benefactions at five cents apiece during the past year, and now every mother's son of them is tickled with his humor, as well as suffocated in his sweets. All New York must see to it that his sensitive nature is not wronged, and especially that Hart’s dividends are not diminished by a rapid transit road along the line of the Third Avenue Railroad. Now that we have a real humorist among us we must not injure him in his feelings or his employer's profits, but even forego rapid transit and consent to ride in a Third avenue car forever, if thereby.we can testify how much we reverence humor and the humorist. The Trouble in Georgia. Our correspondence in another column gives the programme of the movements of the Georgia freedmen. Their aspiration was for a black man’s red republic—a rouge et noir Utopia. They had the same beautiful idea in their difficult heads that has several times disturbed the brains of the people of the city of Paris. An equal division of the land and long since have been dispersed. Now they ard wholly unable to do more than protract the war by taking advantage of the nature of the country. All hope of their success is at an end, and the funds of the Carlist support- ers must be exhausted by the constant de- mands made upon them, Though we may not hope for an immediate cessation of the civil-war in Spain the area of operations must become hourly more restricted. The rank and file of the Carlists, when once con- vinoed that their cause is hopeless, will be only too anxious to abandon a struggle that is laying waste their fields and strewing the hillsides with the best and bravest of Spain's sons. Tue Newszoys’ Prcxio.—The Trustees of the Free Excursion Fund announce that the newsboys will enjoy a picnic on Saturday next. It is pleasant to know that this hard- working class of our industrial children are not to be forgotten this year. That the boys will have a jolly time there can be no doubt, and it is to be hoped that the efforts of the Trustees will.be further supported, in order that the excursions may continue. Nearly ten thousand boys and girls have been given a holiday so far this summer, and thero is no reason why that large number should not be increased. Next Saturday’s excursion will be an interesting one, owing to the peculiar class who will participate in the pleasure of the day. The programme of arrangements is of a character to insure success. .

Postmaster James must see to it that all such nuisances as the soda stand in the new Post Office are prohibited. A bar would be quite as necessary as a Innch room or soda stand. The location for these places is in the contiguous streets, and it would be un- wise to continue them in the Post Office build- ing. A Carnoric Srxop has met at Maynooth, Treland, under the presidency of Cardinal Cullen, to consider the education question. against the divided opposition. California has long been a ring-ridden State, and in this canvass the railroad, mining and local rings have been acting in concert and thought it for their common interest to quietly help the democratic party as the organization most likely to succeed. Mr. Ralston wished to control the State Legislature, and especially the municipal government of San Francisco, as he was scheming to sell the water works, in which he had a large interest, to the city for twenty million dollars or more, and thereby extricate himself from his financial difficulties. His failure and death may make a difference in the result of the election. He had been aiding the democratic canvass with contributions of money, but his death on the eve of the election may not have crippled the party, since he would naturally have given his money at an earlier stage of the canvass, But the intense feeling excited by his death may upset all political calculations. There are four parties in the field in Cali- fornia, with four sets of State candidates— namely, the democratic, republican, inde- pendent and temperance parties. The last is of little account, but the independent party was strong enough last year to elect Gov- ernor Booth to the United States Senate, and if the democrats should not succeed in the election to-day the independents probably will. The candidates of the respective parties for the Governorship are William Irwin, democratic ; Timothy G. Phelps, republican ; the cost of the service, and not by the neces- sities of the public; when two cables are working the Anglo-American puts its rates down. Why should it raise them now? If the company chooses to manage its affairs with due regard to the convenience of the public, and shows that it is satisfied with such constant but moderate profits as form the proper returns in any legitimate enter- prise, it will probably continue to prosper. But if its managers propose to make the public the victims of careless service and arbitrary rates the time is near when the governments of Great Britain and the United States will be compelled by a general demand to assume the control of the cable and manage it for the public interest. If they did not the newspapers of this country and England are now rich enough to lay a new cable on their own account, and they are not incapable of doing so. “Coupon Clippers.” The statement of the condition of the sav- ings banks of New York up to the Ist of July is interesting in more respects than one. There are deposits to the extent of $316,335,617 82. The assets of these savings banks are $336,308,236 43, Since the first of the year the deposits have been increased by twelve millions of dollars, and there has been a gain also of thirty-six thousand in the number of depositors. This is the largest increase in the amount of deposits since 1872. Morrissey. Some envious Casca out of the Kelly camp launched a few days since a ter- rible imputation against this gentleman's honesty asa reformer and his consistency as a democrat. He meanly hinted that Mr. Mor- rissey was solicitous that laborers should be paid two dollars a day in this city, but thought that less was necessary at Saratoga; and we, as faithful chroniclers of what is said and done in the world, reproduced his story. For our part, however, we did not sympa- thize, and we regarded the innuendo as one of the plainest of all the tricks that are vain. It was, in fact, merely a job of some chaps up at Saratoga to get their wages raised. If Morrissey paid them a dollar and a half we thought it was most likely all they were worth. Indeed, we will venture the opinion that at this season of the year there are two or three thousand persons at Saratoga who would be overpaid if given thirty cents a day to labor at any useful occupation. Shall all Northern New York come in for its two dollars a day, not because it earns it, but in order that Mr. Morrissey may be consistent ? Mr. Morrissey, however, magnanimously shows his hand. He puts before our readers his payroll. It isafine document. We are glad there are so many of them, and if the luxury of the time likes to enjoy itself at a race there comes out of it the one advantage that it distributes the money that would not com-' fort so many homes if virtuously hoarded in Puritanic tills. But Mr. Morrissey says cied that one of these was as practicable | and as just as the other; and if they could not get both, or if they were in- terfered with in the organization of an armed force intended to secure both, then they were ready to fight for their eause. Exactly what would necessarily be the result | of their attempt to enforce such a programme they perhaps could scarcely understand, and therefore they may have used in comparative innocence of mind words that have become commonplace when they said they would fight for their cause; but white men who are familiar with the history of movements of this sort know, what a terrible significance this commonplace may acquire in the collision of races where there “has been slavery. Frightful as might have been the results of a move- ment on this theory it is very satisfactory to see that the colored people of Georgia were fully as innocent as the mildest interpreta- tion of the words they used would suggest ; but they were the dupes of two or three ne- gro agitators of the worst type. These men seized upon an organization of negroes ap- parently made for a praiseworthy purpose, and attempted to pervert it to their destruc- tive and plundering schemes. One negro confession indicates that one society used by the negro Morris originated in a pursuit as peaceful as that of political economy. Its first purpose was ‘‘to stop selling corn at thirty or forty cents a bushel for whiskey and then having to buy it in the spring ;” to regret this if the disasters lead to the adop- tion of sounder principles in business in the future. Curesz Insuuts AND APOLOGIES seem just now to be the principal divertissements of English diplomacy. England is not afraid to make war upon the Celestials, slow as she would be to court it in any other direction, and the Chinaman had better be careful of the British lion.

The curious fea- ture is that the rebels do not wish the laity . to be mixed up with the financial affairs of | the Church. This exhibition of a spirit of caste is perhaps only the natural result of the | relations existing between the priests and people, but it is certainly not o feeling that an be looked on with favor in this country. The churches belong to the congregation, and their administration ought to be care- | fally supervised by their owners. The mere ‘fact that the members of the priesthood are intrusted with the care and administration of certain property does not give them the right to assume the airs of proprietors. In Europe lay Catholics are almost wholly ex- eluded from the direction of the affairs of their own churches; but we doubt that in this country the congregations will be will- ing to see clerics assuming absolute control of property which docs not belong to them, members of Congress are chosen to-day in California. But the success of none of the tickets can be of any national importance. The Governor and Legislature will be elected with sole reference to local State issues, and the democratic party will be so strong in the next House that a gain of one or two Con- gressmen or even the loss of the one Cali- fornia seat they had in the last Congress would make no difference in their working strength. The result in California is not likely to have any influence on the canvass in other States, and it would excite little curiosity if the recent catastrophe had not so strongly directed public attention to San Francisco and the Pacific slope. The election in Maine, which follows | | next, is of more significance; yet of very | little, because the questions in Maine are so different from those in Ohio, where the chief interest of the fall elections centres. There are no inflationists in Maine, nor is there | any school question which comes into poli- tics as o disturbing element. The election on the old issues. A democratic victory would help the party in Ohio, not as indors- ing inflation, but as proving that the tide of popular feeling is setting against President | Grant's administration. But a democratic ability, and if the republicans hold their | own and make gains the party will be en- couraged in all sections of the country. It was good strategy to bring Senator Morton | upon the stump in Maine, where he can help the party more than he could have | done by remaining in Ohio, His record oa ‘and of which at best they are but trustees for the benedit of phoix oorishionerse exert anv real influence this vear in Ohio: will be a trial of the strength of parties | victory in Maine is beyond the range of prob- | the inflation question is too bad for him to It has another value, and this we commend to General Sam Carey, of Ohio, and those enemies of the ‘‘coupon clipper” who are now canvassing the West. This three hun- dred and thirty-six millions of dollars represent to a large extent govern- ment bonds, The ‘coupon clippers” are more numerous in savings banks than elsewhere. Now, if General Sam Carey and his friends can ‘‘convince the people,” they will make war upon this vast property representing ‘the savings of the people” and of “the §oorer classes.” What a great achievement it would be for General Sam | Carey to exterminate these ‘coupon clip- pers.” Why should there bé three hundred and thirty-six millions of dollars hoarded up | by the “bloated depositors” in savings banks? Why should the people of the West and agricultural regions be poor while these | “sordid” depositors are enabled to gather to- gether such vast gum of money? Why should not this money be taken out of the | banks and given to those who need it, the | brawny-fisted laborers of the West? Here is | a good chance for the enemies of the “coupon | clipper.” Woe trust that General Sam Carey will not overlook his opportunity when he | hears the astonishing and painful fact that in New York alone over three hundred and thirty-six million dollars have been stowed | away and buried in savings banks by those | enemies of freedom—‘coupon clipping” de- | positors. | ‘Tue Amareun Ruoarta at Troy began | yesterday, Courtney holding his own and bad.

More Murper.—Another murder by sud- den violence has occurred in the city, and, of course, nobody knows who did it; and at Police Headquarters it will perhaps be deemed a ridiculous fancy for the public to suppose that the police should forthwith catch the murderer. But the police have all the machinery in their hands, only they are without either the intelligence or the energy to use it. Ina properly organized police the law for the arrest of habitual criminals would have settled this case, as it bas often settled similar ones in England. Under that law the slams would have been swept within five hours of this murder, and every known criminal would have been in the hands of justice. One of the mon thus caught would probably have been the man wanted, or would have known the whereabouts of that man. Moreover, the sudden arrest in that way about once @ week of every known rogue would stimulate the disposition of rogues to visit neighboring cities.
