"NEW YORK, MONDAY, OCTOBER “BL, 1878, The probabilities are that the weather in New York and its vicinity to-day will be fair and warmer, witha temporary increase of pressure. Zo-morrow it will be warm and partly cloudy, with a slowly but steadily falling barometer and vouthwesterly to southerly winds. Tue InrerxaTIoNaAL BaseBaLt CHAMPION- suiP threatens to remain an unsettled question until next season. Tus Farview Burciars have been con- vieted of one of their offences, despite the masks behind which they hid while perpetrating their rascality. An InrerxationaL Boat Race between old tars is enough of a rarity to merit special atten- tion, even in this well filled sporting season. See our Rio Janeiro letter. Atrention, Pastors !—The Pope has specially honored Father Grace, of Newport, who has reduced the debt of his church nearly $100,000. “A word to the wise,” &c. Temperance ADDRESSES made yesterday be- fore the two most prominent societies holding Sunday meetings were something like what such wfforts should be to be effective. Tue Poor Druxkarp who yesterday begged to be sent up for a year, that he might be kept from drink, is more of a man than he thinks; the drunkards who object to stopping are the hopeless cases. Magor Rewpiesrocx, who chased the run- away Cheyennes, blames a white man—an in- terpreter—for the departure of the. redskins from their reservations. Rascally whites are generally at the bottom of Indian uprisings. Tre Deatu of Rear Admiral Paulding, the last surviving officer of MacDonough’s vic- torious squadron of 1814, and the senior flag officer on our naval retired list, suggests the ‘any reminiscences of national interest which ‘will be found on another page. Tue Sermons reported in our columns this morning average stronger than usual, partly because most of the topics are such as men and ‘women particularly need to consider; and for the rest—a preacher is likely to talk best when his subject is one which appeals strongly to the seutiments and ueeds of his hearers. . No Wonxver that New Orleans has been scourged by yellow fever. A special committee reports that up to August the garbage of the city was dumped in a public square to form a foundation for a statue of General Lee, and that carbolic acid was powerless in attempting to neutralize the stench of the nuisance. Mr TatmaGe’s second discourse upon the Gotham elephant contains some very strong points, one of which is that the worst vices of this city are not monopolized by the young and the dangerous classes, but that men of reputa- tion and social position are debasing and de- Btroying themselves in vile haunts, robbing their families in order to gratify their depraved tastes. ‘Taw Wreatner.—The depression referred to jm yesterday's Heratp as being over the New England coast has moved slowly into New Brunswick and over the entrance of the St. Lawrence River. Light rains continue on ite southerly and easterly margins, and brisk west- erly winds attend its movement. The low pres- sure in the Northwest has now assumed a defi- nite organization as a considerable disturbance, and dominates the weather over all the re gion west of the Jakes and the Mississippi River from Texas northward. Over the Rocky Mountains the barometer is rising be hind this distprbance, and very high west and northwest winds prevail over Nebraska and Dakota and the adjacent British territory, The high pressure extends over the Southern States and northward into New York, but show tendency to move southward as the western flepression advances. However, the zone of high barometer is decreasing in width toward Florida, where the pressure is decreasing slowly. Fresh to high southerly winds prevail over large area of the West and Southwest, and as thetemperature is again rising in the Intter region we fear the conditions will not coutinue favorable for the arrest of the spread of yellow fever. Except in the Northwest and far North- east and over the Eastern Gulf the weather is tlear or fair. Increasing cloudiness may be ex- pected over all the northern districts during to- day. The weather in New York and its vicinity will be fair and warmer, with tempovary in- erease of pressure. ‘To-morrow it will be warm and partly cloudy, with a slowly but steadily falling barometer and southwesterly to south- erly. winds, Arrest of the Directors spd Man- agers of the Glasgow Bank. The arrest of these offending officers in Glasgow,and Edinburgh looks like a vigor- ous attempt to put the machinery of justice in motion against a fou) nest of conspirators and swindlers; but it is not stated under what statute these arrests have been made, nor to what penalties the culprits are ex- posed in case of conviction. There is nothing in the act of Parliament relating to the Scotch banks which subjects them or their officers to any other than pecuniary penalties. If they are liable to other punishment it is proba- bly under some general statute against, frauds or breaches of trast. Our despatches have repeatedly stated that there are heavy penalties in Scotland for the overissue of bank notes. As we have the law relating to Scotch banks before us we can tell pre- cisely what those penalties are. They con- sist merely in a forfeiture by the bank of a sum equal the excess of its issues above what is permitted by law. It is only a fine imposed not upon particular officers but on the bank in its corporate capacity. By the act of 1845 the circulation of every Scotch bank was restricted to its average amount during the year 1844, and was to re- main stationary at that limit in all future years, except that the Scotch banks could issue their notes beyond the fixed. limit at pleasure by having an equal amount of coin in its possession. The authorized circula- tion of the Glasgow bank since 1845 has been £72,991, plus the amount of coin in its vaults, At the time of its failure it had £293,545 in coin, and was therefore entitled to a circulation of £366,466. But its actual circulation at the time of the collapse was £604,196, or £237,730 more than the low permitted. If the bank had not failed this excess of £237,730 would have been forfeited to the government as a penalty for the overissue of notes, and this is the only penalty prescribed in the act for that offence. It would have proved quite sufficient if the officers ofthe govern- ment had exercised due vigilance and ‘had not been deceived by false accounts, The law makes it the right of the stamp officers to examine the books and count the coin of the Scotch banks ‘‘at all reasonable times,” and had this duty been faithfully dis- charged it is difficult to imagine how the issues of the Glasgow bank could have become 80 excessive except by false records of its circulating notes. The imprisonment is probably for this falsifica- tion, and not for the excessive issues of notes, which are punishable only by a pe- cuniary forfeiture of the same amount as the illegal excess, The violation of law practised by the Glesgow bank in its enormous issues of its own notes is the most trivial part of its offences. The note holders will suffer no loss nor even any temporary inconven- ience, Immediately after the failure of the Glasgow bank the other banks of Scotland agreed to assume and redeem its notes, relieving the note holders at once from all anxiety. It is curious that one of the most eminent American statesmen, in a political speech delivered a few evenings since, asked his hearers to observe what a great advan- tage it would have been to the people of Scotland if they had possessed our system of a guaranteed circulation at the time of this failure. Such a line of remark pro- ceeds from a total misconception. The note holders of the Glasgow bank do not suffer at all any more than those of one of our national banks would suffer in consequence of its failure. But when we pass from the note holders to the depositors we find that the advantage is on the side of the Scotch sys- tem. When one of our national banks fails its depositors and all its other creditors, with the exception of its note holders, are always victimized, whereas no creditor of this broken Scotch bank will suffer any loss ex- cept by the necessary legal delay in recov- ering what is due him. Under our national bank system, too, the depositors must sub- mit to the dilatory course of the law, and they recover at last only their pro- portion of the insufficient assets. But in Scotland the stockholders are compelled to make up all deficiencies in the assets. They are all liable, not merely to the amount of their shares, but to the full extent of their property. No note holder or depositor or other creditor of the Gias- gow bank will suffer any ultimate loss, The eminent statesman to whom we have alluded was preposterously wide of the mark in insisting on the superiority of our own banking system to that of Scotland, so far, at least, as bank creditors are, con- cerned. The.whole burden of this stupendous failure in Glasgow will fall upon the share- holders of the bank. Unlimited liability in such a case seems hard and oppressive, but such is the law in Scotland. Pur- chasers invested in the shares with their eyes open, but they are, nevertheless, to be pitied as victims of rascality which they had no renson to suspect. It is to be hoped that the offending directors and managers have been arrested under some law which is strong enough to hold them and bring them to condign punishment. No ordinary thie? or highway robber is half as culpable as these men who have brought ruin and wretchedness upon thousands of innocent families. A burglar who should have broken into one of their houses and stolen a small amount of plate would bea very harmless criminal in comparison with these swindling directors and managers, and it would be the reproach and scandal of Scotch justice if they cannot be punished. Their prompt arrest as soon as the result of the examination became known attests the vigorous earnestness of the officers of the law. Although many failures have taken place in England and Scotland in consequence of the collapse of the Glasgow bank the num- ber is probably small in comparison with those which are still to come. The severest pressure will be felt when the shareholders are called upon to make up the deficiency in the assets of the bunk. There is good reason for believing that nothing like a general panic will grow ont of the excite- {ait caused by these astounding exposures, Allgsorts of wild rumors havo been set flying, gnd among thems preposterous one that the Bank of England is in difficulty. We see no reason for doubting the strong denial made by the London Daily Telegraph, which denounces the stories about the Bank of England and the Bank of France as ‘‘ palpable inventions.” Nevertheless, we are prepared to expect many more failures of mercantile firms and perhaps of some banks. Theshocking out- rages against every principle of commercial morals and pecuniary good faith which have been dragged forth to light in connection with the Glasgow bank are fitted to make a deeper impression than the extent of the failure or the beggary and misery it will entail on its victims. The Fishery Award. Asan aid to the decision of our English and Canadian cousins about the justice of the fishery award we print elsewhere a sum- mary of the British ‘‘case.” The English and Canadians claimed four- teen millions of dollars as the sum which the United States ought to pay for ten years’ use of the Canadian waters tofishin. Of course this claim was defended by a bill of particulars, and the British Commissioner and Mr. Delfosse, the arbitrator, in con- demning us to pay five and a half millions, must be supposed to have examined this British bill of particulars, which they found, apparently, much too high. But they concluded, for no reasons that they have ever published, that five and a half millions was the sum properly due from us. Presumably they based their decision upon a close examination of the English accounts against us. But it is shown in the paper which we print elsewhere to-day that, leaving aside “constructive damages” such as the Geneva arbitrators refused us in our Alabama claims, the British bill of particulars, taken exactly, would show them entitled to only $120,000 a year or $1,200,000 for ten years, or, as our correspondent remarks, $1,440,000 for twelve years; less than a million anda half instead of five millions and a half; and against this common fairness would offset the special duties on fish and fish oil remitted by the United States to the Canadians, which amount for the ten years to three millions. ‘That is to say, accepting the British account against us as it was pre- sented, the Commission ought in justice to have condemned Great Britain to pay the United States something over a million and ahalf This isan astonishing statement, but the facts bear it out completely, and it seems to make it necessary for the British Commissioner, Mr. Alexander Galt, and the arbitrator, Mr. Delfosse, to explain publicly by what methods they arrived at the sum of five anda half millions which they declared on oath the United States justly owe Great Britain. No arithmetic with which we are acquainted brings the total out to that amount. Music and Morals, Mr. Richard Grant White, an observer so earnest in the realm of art that whatever conclusions he records are likely to attract attention, is reaffirming in the Allantic Monthly some ideas which years ago he pub- lished on the subject of music. His convic- tion now, as then, is, that music is uttterly devoid of moral character or influence, either good or bad. The principal ground for this impression seems to be that music, when what it should be, is artistic, and that art is of itself alone, affecting human be- ings through the tastes only, and being more injured than helped by any inten- tional imfasion of morality. Mr. White truly says that music may be enjoyed, as music, by the dunce, the vulgarian and the villain, as well as the cultured gentleman and lady. But is this all? Is it possible that millions who have frequented the concert room, opera house and church have been mistaken in imagining themselves strangely stirred to good or evil by certain musical strains, even when these were un- accompanied by words? Can it be through some incomprehensible mistake that the significance of certain keys in music is as fully recognized by uncultured savages as by finished musicians? It might seem that Mr. White believed so did we not read in his own pages that music ‘“‘may awaken passion good or bad, holy or unholy.” A power that can do this is beyond question a force in morals, and no deification of art for its own sake can persuade any person of healthfal mind that music and kindred arts are only sensuous in their influence, The Farmer in Politics. This isthe season of the year in which the honest farmer—perhaps in his State he is called o “‘granger”—is so industriously cultivated that he finds scarcely time enough in which to ttend to interests of his own cultivation. Just now everybody wants the honest farmer’s vote, and, as farming is an occupation which more than most others isolates a man and, in large measure, denies him opportunities for dis- cussing leading questions with his friends, the candidates and their representatives shrewdly venture upon statements that would appall Munchausen, Jules Verne or a Louisiana politician. ‘The honest farmer has been largely persuaded that his class should take united action in politics ; that the agricultural populace have special ond peculiar rights, which heretofore have not been recognized, but to which the solicitor of his vote is rather more devoted than he is to his own precious life, and that the nation can only be saved by the honest farmer voting a certain ticket which is placed in his hand. As this game has. been played for fifty years or more without any particular gain to the rural population it is more than time for agri- oulturists to retiro from it and act accord- ing to individual sense, without regard to what they are told by interested parties. The political standing and influence of the farmer depend entirely upon his own wits, He has, more than the;members of any other large class, the opportunity for con- secutive thought, and the more he thinks the less inclined he will be to believe that any party nostram is a panacea for griev- ances of the body politic or those of his own class. If he will think ay indepen- dently as doctors and draymen, porters and preachers do, he cannot help benefit ing by his vote the general situation, which in turn will benefit him; but there is neither money nor glory in his passively allowing himself to be a catspaw to drag from the ashes the nuts which cunning politicians have roasted for their own in- satiable maws, Another ‘“éAceident’ at the Forty: p second Street Arch. Even the Commigsioner of Public Works and his engineers must now admit that our condemnation of the structure, which they were pleased to call an arch, at Forty- second street, near First avenue, was & justifiable one in every sense. The fatality that attended the fall of the newly built section on June 29 might have led the de- signers and builders of this model arch to modify their plans and manner of building 80 as to satisfy the public that some effort was being made to insure its stability. But it seems that they have bravely stuck to the original blundering, and have simply enlarged and rendered more cer- tain in its operation an already very extensive and elaborately prepared death trap. We remember that the Commissioner and his agents pointed triumphantly to the section first built as being solid and secure and that some very curious reasons were advanced to account for the failure of the second section. The contractor and inspector were censured for careless workmanship, but no doubt was expressed as to the stability of the work that remained standing. Mow, however, that particular work has fallen in, and in such & manner as to demonstrate beyond all question that it was as defectively de- signed and executed as the portion that in falling killed two unsuspecting victims. Happily this time the trap was sprang before any one could be put in position to be crushed by the falling mass of bricks and mortar, that is to say, mud, and earth filling, so that this second ‘‘accident” has been a failure. Ample warning was given to Mr. Commis- sioner Campbell and Mr. Engineer Camp- bell of the danger that threatened. For days the crown of the ‘‘arch” had been sag- ging underthe weight of the filling placed on it, and it only required the rainfall of Friday and Saturday morning to add the necessary weight ‘to complete the ruin of the structure. Thereare other parts of the work, notably the retaining walls, that must also fall, so that we may look during the next few days for an almost complete dem- olition of this piece of work. Comment on such a delightful condition of things is un- necessary. Mr. Bacon's report, referred to in our own, published elsewhere to-day, may be read with profit by our citizens, We .know very well that the usual state- ments will be made to show why this “arch,” which was doubtless intended to be a great engineering triumph, came to grief, but we are satisfied that an intelligent pub- lic will set the true value on them. A traveller from Poughkeepsie may now sit on the broken arch at Forty-second street and mentally sketch the ruins of official and professional reputations. Bad bricks and mud mortar serve as well as last straws to break camels’ backs. Our Prizes at Paris. The awards to American exhibitors at the great Paris world fair have been partially sent hither by cable, but we are enabled to-day to present our readers with a com- plete list of them, alphabetically arranged, procured from official sources in Paris, While to men in every ‘branch of business this long list of honored representatives of American inventive genius and industry will .prove especially interesting, it can prove no less so to those who simply gain therefrom an idea of the aggregated force which America is exerting on the indus- tries of the world. It will give a timely hint of the true cause to those of other nations who are wondering at the giant strides America is making in the world of manufacture and invention. A nation which directs so much of its mental vigor to the mechanical might not at first glance seem the one most likely to excel in the intellectual, but with the increment of wealth which that practical mechanical genius must bring the opportunity to in- dulge the higher propensities will surely come. Weneed have no anxiety about the ar- dor with which such an opportunity will be improved. In looking over the list of American grand prize takers—gold, silver and bronze medallists—it must not be for- gotten that it was only at the last moment, as it were, it became certain that America could take anything approaching a proper part in the great industrial competition at Paris. Many who would, under moro fa- vorable circumstances, have gladly sent their goods across the ocean wero obliged to see the last ship sail without their con- tributions. ‘To-day the grand ceremony of conferring the awards takes place in Paris amid all the pomp which the French government knows so well how to throw around an event of such importance, It will be among the pleasantest part of Marshal MacMahon’s duties therein to bestow upon the citizens of our Republic the typical rewards of their contributions to the world’s progress. ‘ in Murder New Developm: The new revelations in the Mary Stan- nerd ond Billings murder cases do not speak well for the efficiency of the police and prosecuting authorities in Saratoga county and New Haven. It is alleged that aman named Benjamin Stevens, who was under some suspicion, made a remark soon after the first examination in the Stannard ease which proved certain testimony he had given to have been false, and that, moreover, his daughter-in-law had, the day after the murdor, washed a pair of panta- loons belonging to Stevens which were so saturated with blood as to cause her to faint away and to bring on a fit of sickness, It is remarkable that evidence s0 easily obtainable was not sooner discov- ered by the police. If suspicion rested on Stevens it seems singular that the authorities were so careless as not to have made a scarch at his own house which would have disclosed the fact of the wash- ing of the blood-stained clothes, In the Billings case the District Attorney and detectives have caused the body of the murdered woman to be exhumed, and an ex- SHEET. amination of the skull by Dr. Swinburne, of Albany, has, it is alleged, disclosed the presence of pieces of lead which were broken off from the bullet. One feature of the defence was that the flattened bullet pro- duced at the trial of Billings was not so heavy a missile as would have been fired from the carbine supposed to have been the weapon used in the murder, The discov- ery of the additional pieces of lead is said, therefore, to have an important bearing on the case. But the fact that no thor- ough examination of the skull of the mur- dered woman was made before the trial im- plies inconceivable incapacity and stupidity on the part of the prosecuting authorities, Ss hed from Death. Our special despatch from Montpelier, Vt., recounts the most remarkable escape trom the gallows that has ever occurred in this country. A bulletifi board, an excited small boy, a newspaper and a busy tele- graph instrument combined to snatch John P. Phair from the very foot of the gallows. They also, if reports are correct, convicted a great Commonwealth of being about to slaughter a man whose innocence might have been proved long ago had not the State acted with inconceivable niggardli- ness in providing for the defence of the accused, who had no money with which to provide for it himself. Twenty dol- lars was the amount allowed him for this purpose, while a reward of two thousand five hundred dollars which was offered for evidence tending to convict him drew to the court as witnesses some men whose records, had they been looked into, would hardly have persuaded the Court of their trustworthiness as witnesses. At this rate the best man in Vermont may yet be hanged if he has no money.
