The Newark fratricide is @ moro potent argument against this fault than evon the Inst speech of 2 is solved, NEW YORK HERALD, SATURDAY, MARCH 3, 1877.-WITH SUPPLEMENT. President Hayes’ Policy. What will be the policy of the new admin- 1 istration? Now that the count is completed and Mr. Hayes is declared President from the 4th of March next the country naturally asks, What will he do? The opening signs are auspicious. Within aweek Mr. Hayes-has written to a friend in Congress words which, if he sticks to them, will make his administration » memorable one for good in the country’s history. He wrote, ‘I shall stand by the idane outlined in my letter of last summer.” He syms up his conclusions in these words:— “With a civil service organized upon a system which will secure purity, experience, efficiency and economy ; a strict regard for the public welfare solely in appointments, and the speedy, thorough and unsparing prosecution and punishment of all public officers who betray official trusts; with sound currency; with education unsec- tarinn and free to all; with simplicity and frugality in public and private affairs, and a fraternal spirit of harmony pervading the people of all sections and classes, we may reasonably hope that the second century of our existence as a nation will, by the bless- ing of God, be prominent as an ern of good fecling and a period of progress, prosperity and happiness." The greater part of his letter was taken up with a discussion of the vital question of civil service reform, and in giving this the first importance and the largest share of his thoughts Mr. Hayes showed a real apprehen- sion of the needs of the country. It re- quired, probably, the bitter and dangerous political struggle through which we have just happily passed to convince the country that we must havo a reform, and a thorough reform, of the civil service abuses if we desire to preserve the peace and the free institutions of the country. Even if we could safely pass through another period like the last six months the business inter- ests of the country would not tolerate it. The burden is unendurable. It is im- possible for a nation to pass once’ in four years through a crisis, prostrating all industry, shaking all securities, stopping all business, and to know before- hand that this crisis must come, with all its enormous and unnecessary losses. No in- telligent people would expose themselves knowingly to such a periodical disaster ; they would far sooner change the form of their government, and nothing is more certain than that, if the country cannot obtain a reform of the civil service abuses in any other way, a public sentiment favorable to a change in our institutions will grow very rapidly, But that would also be a great disaster. We hope, therefore, that Mr. Hayes will “stand: by his letter” in this matter un- flinchingly. He will meet with bitter oppo- sition from the baser kind of politicians, but he will have the people behind him, He can rally to his support not only the better elements of his own party, but the best and wisest of the opposition will zealously aid him. Senator Gordon, of Georgia, is one of the most intelligent and earnest advocates of civil service reform in Congress, and he and other.democrats will, we believe, join zealously in any effort which Mr. Hayes and "his republican supporters may make toward the solution of this question. Both parties, by their platforms, are committed to it ; the nation almost unanimously demands it. But we warn the new President that he will need an immovable purpose to resist the organ- ized efforts of the politicians if he means to succeed. Concerning the Southern question we feel little apprehension. The remedy there, at least for the most glaring abuses, is so easily applied and so generally de- manded that we have no fears for the tuture of Louisiana and South Carolina. But a thorough reform of the federal civil service in the Southern States is one of the greatest needs of that section. The venerable ex- President Woolsey spoke words of wisdom when, last fall, he urged that Mr. Hayes, if elected, should ‘put Southern men in Southern offices.” No one can read the let- ter of acceptance without seeing in it a pur- pose to do just this, and to redeem the federal civil service in the Southern States from the hands of men who have no root in the soil of that region, no interests in common with the people, but are mere placemen, who have too long made office their sole livelihood and abused their places for political purposes and intrigues. We hope not to see under the administration of President Hayes the scandalous spectacle of aman like Packard at the same time United States Marshal and chairman of a political State committee. In his treatment of the currency question much wili depend upon the new President's selection of a Secretary of the Treasury. If he calls to that important office a man igno- rant of the question, or of undecided opin- ions, or who looks upon the office and its patronage as a stepping stone to the Presi- dency, he will find such an appointment an obstacle hardly surmountable in the way of currency reform. We hope, therefore, he will select for this post a man who will sac- rifice political ambition to the service of the country, and who will have both knowledge and will enough to devise and to carry out plans for the early resumption of specie pay- ments. But in all he does we urge the new Presi- dent to have confidence in the people. ‘They will support him in all honest and cour- ageous service. The public sentiment of this country is always higher than the ex- pressions it finds through the party press and the politicians, Timidity is the vice of these organs; they are perpetually calcu- lating the effect of measures or a policy, not on the e¢guntry, but on their party. Let Président Hayes act faith- fully up to th® promises made and the policy whicli he announced in his letter of acceptince, and he will gather around him the ardent support of the most thoughtful and most intelligent part of the nation and will win the gratitude of the country. Fortunately for him, whatever his policy might be, it must precipitate a break in parties and a reformation of both political organizations. Circumstances over which even he can have no sufficient con- trol make this inevitable. He would make the wretched murderer who was cxecuted at | lamentable failure, therefore, as the Presi- Auburn. dent of a party; no efforts could procure him success in this line. But he is, as we said the other day, in a peculiar and solemn manner bound to be the President of both parties and of the whole people. All the circumstances of his election not only en- title him to look outside of parties for sup- port, bnt oblige him to be unpartisan and to take into his view and judgment the whole country and the wisest men of both sides, We trust he will remember this, and that he will have tact, judgment and firm- ness sufficient to begin right, and to begin at once, at the beginning, for as he begins, so, inevitably, will he end. The Great Rain Storm, The country has seldom been visited by such a general rain storm as that now moving into Canada, the lake region and the Middle and Eastern States. Taking its course from Mexico and the Western Gulf the storm centre moved through Texas into the Indian Territory, thence across the Mississippi be- tween Cairo and St. Louis, through Illinois into the Inke region and Canada, We de- scribed its progress and characteristics during Thursday in yesterday's Hzraup, Yesterday it advanced northeastward with considerable velocity, and, as we. predicted, contracted its area when approaching the lakes and Ohio Valley. In the morning the rain area extended over the country from Florida to Lake Superior and from the Missouri to the Atlantic, In the after- | noon the rain area contracted considerably, extending trom Northern Tennessee to the lakes and Canada and from the Mississippi to the ocean. The heaviest rain fall was along the coast and over the Middle States and Ohio Valley region. Snow fell north of Chicago and Toronto and rain at all other points. The precipitation at New York up to five P. M. was 0.79 of an inch ; Baltimore, 0.75; Philadelphia, 0.51, and New London, 0.45, Ahigh southeaster prevailed on the coast during the afternoon, and strong winds, varying in direction accord- ing to locality, were experienced within the circle of greatest disturbance, which was fully one thousand miles in diameter. An area of high pressure bars the outlet of the St. Lawrence to any rapid eastward progress of the storm centro, while another high area follows from the north- west. The barometer has fallen very low, with rain, at San Francisco, and also in the Rocky Mountain region. The tempera- ture has fallen to zero in Manitoba, but is high on the northerly, southerly and east- erly margins of the storm area, The Lower Missouri, Mississippi and Ohio rivers have fallen, but the upper sections of these streams have commenced to rise, Tho weather in New York to-day will be cooler and partly cloudy, with high southwesterly to westerly winds, followed by clearing weather. Spring. Spring, the coquette of the year, whose at- tendants are blustering March, April, whose tears are turned into rainbows by his smiles, and merry May, has come at last, and the other day as we welcomed her we bade goodby to winter. Yet we must not be sure that we are rid of him, for as March came in likea lamb he is likely to go out like a lion, and winter as he flies will shoot his Parthian arrows of snow and frozen winds | into the area of our depression. March is the meanest of all the months; for, while heis claimed by spring, in this country he really belongs to winter, and we would be glad to see him banished from the calendar. Eleven months in the year would be quite enough. The American climate is so very uncertain that we can only be sure of a cold in the head in this season, of which the English poets, from Chaucer to Thompson, have sung so charmingly. Their poetry is not founded upon our facts, and thus we read of daisies, primroses and daffodils that come before the swallow dares, wrapped up in ulsters and racked with bronchitis and colds, Even now, as was foretold by that awful and mysterious being, he who rides on whirlwinds and directs the storm—the W-th-r Pr-ph-tg-spring ap- proaches us from Texas in the form of a tremendous tempest of rain, which, not being deflected by the Alleghany Moun- tains, burst upon the city yesterday. With such a climate it is natural that Americans should sometimes confuse the seasons, and that such names for the months as Janpril, Apruary, Juvember and Septober should be instinctively used. Still, we must welcome spring, with all her faults, for the sake of her pleasant prophecies. All the seasons have some peculiar merits, and not the least of spring is that it is the vestibule to sum- mer. Kissing the Babies, At last President Hayes has arrived in Washington. His journey was made delight- ful by the attentions of thousands of his fellow citizens. Mme. De Stitel said that allover the world there were nothing but men, women and children, and Mr. Hayes had the honor to prove that the baby is ubiquitous. From Columbus to Washing- ton, at every station at which the train stopped, My. Hayes was invited to kiss the babies, an invitation which he cheerfully | accepted. ‘This ordeal is one which all Presidents have undergone, and their compliance accounts for the vast num- ber of George Washingtons, ‘l'homas Jeffersons, Abraham Lincolns and other Christian titles which designate the Smiths, Browns and Blacks of America. Ruther- ford B. will henceforth be popular in the States of Ohioand Pennsylvania, Fe kissed the babies, and their mothers are not un- grateful and will honor him at the baptismal font. We cannot enumerate all the babies that Mr. Hayes had the pleasure of kissing, but if their votes had been counted the democracy would have conceded the legality of his clection. | The only baby he did not kiss was Mr. Til- den’s, and this neglect was due to reasons which it is not necessary to enumerate, The kisses which Mr. Hayes bestowed will be long remembered, and if he administers the government as the people hope he will, perhaps some present baby, destined to be a future President, may, half a century hence, recnil that compliment as a benediction. But the general kissing of Mr. Hayes is excolled by one immortal embrace. Nearly twenty years ago, when John Brown was led out of his jail to be hanged, he took from tho arms of a negro | that the parcel is not too large, When the woman her little baby, pressed its lips to his own, and in this act paid an eternal tribute to the race for which he had lived and loved, and then ascending the scaffold calmly gave his sonl to Heaven and be- queathed his inspiration to his country. Louisiana Free. In another colump will be found the ; documents and instruments by the opera- tion of which the State of Louisiana has been enfranchised from that military ty- ranny which was a stain in our history, and which had such grave practical conse- quences as have recently appeared in the nearly invalidated Presidential election. And the principles declared in these documents determine also the case of South Carolina. Many persons with more faith than perception have within these few years past laughed at the fancy that an individual will might be some time set above all the guarantees of American freedom ; but the shameful fact that the word of one man was set against the will of a majority in two great States is suffi- cient evidence for those who care to regard the case seriously, since what could happen in two States might happen in twenty. Order, it is true, must be preserved ; but the history of the world is before us to show that it is in the name of order that the foot of the oppressor is always put upon the liberties of the people. It is a wise conces- sion to the opinion of the country that has determined this last important act of Presi- dent Grant’s administration, and it will always be regretted that the light which enabled the Executive to see his way clear to this just proceeding did not dawn upon him earlier. There is no safety for the States of this Union except in govern- ment by the will of the majority. Any sys- tem by which » minority in a State is kept in power through its relations with the federal authority must if continued neces- sarily lead to ruin. Crib Work Bulkheads. The proposition embodied in the report of Committee No. 5 of the Commercial Asso- ciation of New York for completing the bulkhead line with crib work is one calcu- lated to mislead public opinion regarding one of the most important of our city im- provements. Although tho suggestion is qualified in the report by a reference of the question for final decision to the Com- missioners of the Sinking Fund, still the object seems to be to secure the adoption by that body of the proposed plan. Any argument that can be advanced in favor of crib work for the bulkhead line must rest on the single foundation of mere econ- omy. It cannot be made on the ground that crib work is the best and most suitable form of construction for the water front of this great city. It does not require an extraor- dinary amount of technical knowledge to convince any one that the employment of a perishable material in what is intended to be a permauent improvement can have any claims on _ public favor. We would beg to remind the crib work economists that New York is not a Nova Scotia fishing village, and that her docks are not intended for the exclusive purpose of drying herrings or curing cod- fish. The proposition itself is so absurd that we fear it covers more than appears on the face of the committee’s report. We hope that in this case the public interests of New York are not going to be sacrificed to the private interests of any individuals who may own large tracts of pine forest in Georgia or elsewhere, and who would notscrupleto turn an honest penny in the name of economy. Strong, substantial and perfectly con- structed bulkhead walls of solid masonry and concrete can be built along the water front for a very little more than the cost of weak, unreliable and perishable structures of wood. proper system of improving the water front were adopted the stone wall would not ac- tually cost less than the wooden one. Be- tween the two there can be no choice, for stone work is so immeasurably preferable in every way to crib work that we are sur- prised that any proposition to adopt the latter should be seriously advocated, much less entertained. If our present system of work on the bulkhead wall is slow and ex- pensive it is because of maladministration and ignorance of those in charge, and not of the plans they attempt to follow out. One of the most dangerous undertakings for a body like the Commercial Association is to tinker plans that they evidently do not un- derstand. Let them apply their acknowl- edged ability to its proper object—namely, the abolition of the vicious system of admin- istration of the Dock Department, but abandon their absurd advocacy of crib work bulkheads for New York. Cremate the City Garbage. The great difficulty that presents itself in dealing with the city garbage is in the selec- tion of a suitable place of deposit where it cannot be injurious to public health, offen- sive to the senses of sight and smell, and will not be used as filling on Innds that are destined to become the sites of dwellings or other buildings. As a manure the garbage of New York proves very valuable, but its use for that purpose involves a careless sys- tem of transportation to more or !ess thickly settled districts near the city. It is useless to expect that the Street Cleaning Bureau will comply with its own rules regarding the separation by householders of the ashes and garbage, The employés of the bureau inva- rinbly remix the two by dumping the con- tents of all vessels into a common cart. Something must be done with the garbage, so that our active and intelligent officials will not any longer make it a source of danger to the public health and its disposi- tion an outrage on public decency. As an effort at self-protection we earnestly advise housckeepers to burn all animal and vegetable refuse in the furnaces of their kitchen stoves and ranges. This can be done without any trouble or annoyance from unpleasant odors arising from combustion. Let certain days be set down in each week for garbage cremation, the oftener the better, for the quantity of garbage to be burned will bo less. A bright strong fire being ready in the kitchen range or stove, wrap the bones, potato peels and all kinds of refuse ina newspaper, taking care -Indeed, it is doubtful that if a- wrapper takes fire in the furnace open all the dampers fully and ollowastrong draft of air to pass through the fire and flue, 80 that every particle of the garbage will be quickly consumed and the gases carried away through the chimney as fast ns gener- ated. If this is done with some little skill— and practice will make perfect—not the least odor will be perceived in the spart- ment. By this simple but effective means the percentage of house garbage which the employés of the Street Cleaning Bureau now so diligently mix with the ashes and street sweepings will be reduced to a minimum. The offal of the streets can be easily col- lected and burned at public furnaces erected on the water front. We would thus get rid of one of the greatest sources of danger to the public health next to bad sewerage and filthy streets, und could with safety use the street sweepings and ashes for filling low lands near the city. Many families in New -York now burn their garbage, and we do not see why the custom should not be generally adopted. . The experiment of cremating the city garbage is very well worth a trial. The Appropriations. On the Naval Appropriation bill anew conference has been found necessary; and likewise on the Post Office Appropriation bill. The Deficiency bill has been agreed upon, and the Sundry Civil Appropriation bill has gone to the Committee on Appro- priations. The Army bill has passed the House, but in a shapo which en- dangers its passage by the Sen- ate. This bill is loaded with the condition that the army shall not be used as ithas recently been used in the Southern States without the authority of Congress, Republicans in the Honse voted for it despite this condition, and it is likely that republicans in the Senate may do the same, for in fact this clause is like the bull against the comet. In the contingencies to which it might apply it can have no effect. Any President determined to interfere in the elections in a Southern State will not stop on account of one more clause in the law against it. If such a course of action could be prevented by law there was enough law against it already; yet this restraint has been found inoperative. Perhaps the re- publican Senators may see in the passage of the bill with this clause a ready way to re- lieve President Hayes from embarrassing relations with a dangerous element in their party. Peay SR Ss MeN The Dog Ordinance. Alderman Cowing’s proposition that dogs shall submit to license and muzzles has gone to the Law Committee of the Board, supported by the hopes of all timid citi- zens. Affection, even for a dog, is apt to grow conservative when it reaches the pocket of the person exercising it, and the imposition of a license fee of five dollars will provoke many a wonder as to whether the dog is worth his cost. Should such wonderings develop into unpre- judiced inquiries there can be no doubt that the rivers and harbor of New York would soon resemble a miniature and thickly studded archipelago, while sausages would become so cheap that every tramp could have one. Canine mortality would be largely increased, too, by the muzzle requirement; for when the beautiful Spitz comes to realize that he can lunch only upon his owner's family and in the seclusion of the family mansion his tender heart will burst with the agony of hope deferred. The only weak point of the proposed or- dinance is the imperfectness of specifica- tion. Its provisions should verbally include puppies as well as dogs, and then kill two nuisances with one legal stone, If all pup- pies, including those which infest society and hang about church doors and theatre lobbies, could be muzzled, an immense nuisance might find temporary abatement, and the destruction of those withont licenses would keep. undertakers and gravediggers from grumbling about hard times. The body of the two-legged puppy is useless for edible purposes anywhere this side of Equatorial Africa; but the charitable so- cieties could speedily put his outer covering where it would do the most good. His con- demned body might be given to the sur- geons for vivisection, and thus end the com- plaints of the tender-hearted against this practice, for it is an incontrovertible fact that no pain can be experienced by an organism which is utterly destitute of brain.

THE POWERS ANSWER RUSSIA Gortschakoff’s Note Reduces Europe to a Mutual Admiration Society. THE AMERICAN PRESIDENCY. What the London Press Thinks of the Result, A HIGH LIFE MARRIAGE, [BY CABLE TO THE HERALD.) LONDON, March 2, 1877. The HERALp's Berlin correspondent telegrapnt that the great Powers have approved of Lord Derby's proposal to reply to the Gortschakoff note separately, but the tevor of the German, Austrian, and English answers ‘will “be almost identical, The great Powers will begin by acknowledging Russta’s great services in the protection of the Christians of Turkey, and will conclude with an argument in favor of the fit- ness of granting a year's respite to the Ottoman government for the execution of the reforms, Russia’s acceptance of these pacific replies is thought to be certam, whereupon a general dig armament throughout Europe will follow at once, THE DECLARATION OF PARIB. In the House of Commons last evening, Hon. Percy Wyndham moved that the government ought to take the earliest opportunity of withdrawing from the de- claratiou of Paris, whereby England had renounced the Tight to seize enemies’ goods on borrd a neutral and privatecring was abolished. Mr. Wyndham and lord Eslington in speecher supporting the motion laid great strean on the tact that the United States bad consistently refused to be comea party to the declaration, Mr. Bourke, Under Secretary for the Foreign De partment, speaking on behalf of the government, op- posed the motion, He maintained that the deciara. tion of Paris conterred great bonefits, and pronounced the discussion inopportune, Tho motion was rejected by the vote of 170 to 56, ALL RXPPLAINED, YOU KNOW, The object of the removal of the British squadron from the Pirmus is now declared to be for the purpose of refitting the ships and giving loave of absence to the men preparatory to a cruise during the summer, polith cal reasons no longer rendering the presence of the squadron necessary in Eastern waters, IT MAY Re 80, The Times publishes a letter from its St, Petersburg correspondent, dated February 22, saying :—‘‘Notwith- standing all that is said about the impossibility of the Czar receding from his position, 3 still believe war will be avoided for the present, at least."’ The correspondent is convinced that if the Czar should issuo a manifesto declaring that owing to changed circumstances ho feels it his duty to domobilize the army, the deciaration would bo received with cheeriul obedience by all classes of Russian society, END OF THK BULGARIAN OUTRAGE TRIALS, In the Houso of Commons yesterday afternoon Sir Stafford Northcote, Chancellor of the Exchequer, ip reply to a question by Mr. Mundella (liberal), member for Shoffeld, said it was true thet Tonssoua Boy and eight others wero acquitted by the commission appointed to invostigate the atrocities i Bulgaria, Mr, Baring, Secretary of the English Loga- tion at Constantinople, considered their acquittal ob- jectionable and contrary to the evidence.

The Post reviews tho events connected with the Presidential question in the United States; praises the moderation of the majority of the democratic party as vessol compared with tho happjly defeated tace tics of the filibustering section, and con cludes:—‘We fear President Hayes’ authority will bo seriously diminished by the moans adopted to secure his roturn, But the interests of country are superior to those of party, and, as Mr. Hayes has been proclaimed by tho logally constituted tribunal, sothing remains but for all loyal citizens to acknowledge his authority.” WHAT THE “‘TRUNDERER” THINKS, The London Times this morning praises the demo- cratic leaders tor their moderation, and thinks their couduct will s¢cure the entire sympathy of #) law-abiding American “people, who aro well able to appreciate moderation and re. spect for constitutions! restraints. Among public men Mr. Hayes’ election cannot oxcite genuine enthusiasm, except in those who regard politics as gambling, tricky game. It may be viewed wit! moderate satisfaction as an escapo from the worse evils . of prolongation of excitement or conflict of titles, Bat Mr. Hayes has not, unfortunately, the moral weight necessary to ballast o republican administration situated as this must be, With tho best intentions he will probably be unable to carry into effect many of the pledges of his letter to the Cincinnati Conven- tion, We trust our anticipations aro wrong, and that Mr. Hayes may sbow anexpected force of character, and conquer tho sympathies of the nation by an honest, fearless reform policy.
