Tue Rex on tue Manhattan Savings Bank is about over, the depositors having drawn less than the burglars did. Parent or Pott Tax as a prerequisite, of voting is being urged in Texas. How such a rule would reduce the vote of the metropolis! ‘To “Drown Tuk SHamRocK” as Motlier Na- tare did yesterday was bad enough, but to stiow, also upon the sacred sprig was to add Same to injury. Tne Cases of County Clerk Gumbleton and Register Loew, as they appear to the Governor and as he has decided upon them, are reported at length in another column.

Such intelligent benevolence cannot be too highly commended. ‘Tux Laresr Back Pay Story sounds like a fomance. A minister was the claimant and a church the debtor; the creditor sued for eight hundred dollars, and the jury allowed him more than a thousand, which shows that churches and preachers know y little about business. Tne Arwy Equiruest Boaxrp is hard at work trying to increase the availability of our soldiers’ accoutrements, clothing and camp and garrison equipage. This is us it should be, for an army that is compulsorily a skeleton ought atleast to be relieved from heavy loads and hindrances of all sorts. Axorner Decuston Deap.—One of the world’s darling fallacies is that St. Patrick. affects bad weather. Probably some contemptuous Brit- isher, in whom the wish was father of the thought, started the story, but the files of the Henrarp, quoted in another column, show that ouly three times in a quarter of «century has the shamrock been wet with anything as weak as rain water. The romance is dead—gone to meet Pocahontas, William Tell, Washington's little hatehct, and othe: cr tradition: al bric-a-brac. Tue We. avuee.—The marked feature of yes- terday’s weather was the very rapid movement of the disturbance that made its uppearance in the Southwest on Sunday. Its general direction was parallel with the Alleghany Mountains until it reached Pennsylvania, where it turned more to the eastward, arriving on the Massachusetts coast yesterday afternoon. It was followed by & large area of high barometer, which moved southeastward from the vicinity of Colorado. Rain fell on all the Gulf and Atlantic const dis- triets daring the early part of the day and snow was general throughout the central valleys, luke regions, Middle Atlantic and New England States. The weather has been cloudy in all parts of the country east of the Rocky Moun- tains, exeopt the Northeru Missouri and Missis- sippi valleys, ‘The winds have been brisk in the Middle Atlantic, New England States and the Southwest, and generally fresh elsewhere. They are likely. to increase considerably to-day over the Noya Scotia const. The temperature rose in all the districts except the Southwest, where the northwesterly winds caused a fall to take place, and in New England, where northeast winds prevailed, Reports from the northern sections of the State say that a large * amount of snow has fallen, On the Hudson a severe snow storm prevailed yesterday morning, but it cleared off toward evening. ‘The special weather reports from Europe show that the dis- turbance predicted by the Hrnatp Weather Bureau to reach the British coasts bet 16th and 18th has arrived on time. The storm centre was passing over Ireland last night, at- tended by southeast gales and rain, the pressure being as low as 29.12.inehes. The weather in New York and its vicinity to-«lay will be cold and partly cloudy, with rain or anow in the carly portion, followed by clearing. To-morrow it promises to be warmer and fair. 4 D ‘which he had The Extra Session. ‘We have heard of brides who were so im- patient of the tardy pace’ of slowefooted time that on the approach of the nuptial ceremony they had themselves arrayed by their maids | in-all the faultless elegance of white in which they expected to appear before the altar, days in advance of the celebration, as- sisting their imagination by the contempla- tion of their mirrors in éonceiving the admiration of the spectators on the happy occasion, Are the democrats, who have so long been out of power, and who. have forced this extra session, imitating the rest- less vanity of such expectant brides and trying to realize to themselves how it will seem to have control of both branches of Congress after an interval of more than eighteen years? Why could they not have waited until the time fixed for the opening of the regular session in December? We have also read of persons of a gloomy imagination and great personal vanity who had an equally silly wish to anticipate the figure they would make in their funeral pageants. The most noted instance of this form of human weakness was furnished by that really great monarch, the Emperor Charles V., who went through the ceremony of o mimic funeral in the convent to retired after his abdi- cation in tavor of his son, Philip Tl, It is too early to determine which order of examples the new demo- cratic Congress is tfying to emulate in this premature session. All that can be af- firmed with certainty is that the democrats are anticipating, fos no good reason, pro- ceedings whose proper date is next Decem- ber. Whether it is o bridal or a funeral which they are so impatient to rehearse will appear in duo time. What is certain is that the putting of the new democratic Congress into the exercise of legislative functions nine months io advance of the regular time is a stroke of party tactics for which there is no reason- able justification, The democratic’ Con- gress can do nothing now which would not be just as seasonable and just as efficient if done any time next winter. The President has been forced to call this extra session by the resolve of the democrats to withhold appropriations necessary for keeping the government in motion until the federal election law is repealed. It makes no real difference whether that law is repealed mow or at the regular session. It 4s inoperative in the elections of the present year. It applies only to elections in which mem- bers of Congress or Presidential electors areto bechosen. Neither Representatives nor Presidential electors are to be chosen in 1879, and hence there can be no plea of haste or urgency which is not ridiculous on its face. A repeal of the federal elec- tion” law’ ati ony time during tho regular session, which is to begin in December ‘next, would accomplish every | practical object which can be attained by a repeal of the same law at this needless extra session. Why, then, is the country subjected to the expense Gf a'calléd session? It is idlo to plead the jury law, the test oath and the presence-of federal troops at the polls, because it was perfectly well under- stood at the late session that these points would have beenyielded if the House had consenteg to pass the appropriation bills without insisting on a repeal of the federal élection law. The republicans will make their stand on this law at the extra session, and it is not doubted that the President will veto any bill for its repenl, and veto any appropriation bill to which the repeal is attached as a rider. But if’ Congress adjourns the extra session without pas- ing the appropriation bills how can the democratic members face their constit- uents? The question will be incessantly put to them, “Why block the wheels of the government-now to head off an evil which cannot be felt until the autumn of 18807” To this question there can be no answer which would not be utterly childish, A repeal of the federal election law in 1879 might be important if the law applied to the elections of this year. But inasmuch as itwill next become operative in theelections of the autumn of 1880 there is not the shred of an excuse for the bother, expense and inconvenience of this extra session. The idea in which this extra session origi- nates is a palpable absurdity. ‘This absurd idea is that o political party which gets control of the two houses may force its policy without any regard to the constitutional rights of the Execu- tive. The veto power of the President isa nullity according to the theory of this extra session. ‘lhe two houses of Congress can at any time bring the government toa deadlock and block its wheels if they choose to go to the extreme of withholding the regular annual supplies whenever the Pyesident withholds his signature from ills. Undoubtedly the veto power with which the constitution clothes the President could be made an impotent nullity in all cases if either house should tack the vetoed measure t? an appropriation bill and stop the supplies unless the President yielded his judgment, But this would un- settle and subvert the constitution. It would virtually annihilate the veto power. If, when the President vetoes a bill which he disapproves, it is proper and legitimate for Congress to stop the supplies and disorganizs the government, there- by asserting the supremacy of its own will against the Executive, the veto power is a perfect folly. We wish democrats who take this novel view would explain why this crotchet of theirs never occurred to Henry Clay; who strenuously set himself against the veto’ power, but never thought of this new-tangled method of nullifying a veto, That great states- man was enraged at President Tyler's vetoes, but it never occurred to him to countervail a veto by withholding the annual supplies; yet this method was as practicable in his time as it isin ours, It never occurred to that great statesman who wished to abolish the veto power by & constitutional amendment, although it was justas competent for Congress in his time as it is for Congress now to block the wheels of the government by tacking a vetoed mensure to an appropriation bill. This ingenious idea never occurred to Mr, Clay, because it is so perfectly absurd. The veto power, with which the constitution clothes the President, ig a perfect nullity if Congress can overrule a veto, not merely by the refusal of two-thirds of both houses to sustain it, but by the re- fosal of a bare majority of *both houses, to pass apprépriation bills to which they may tack a vetoed measure, If it is legitimate for Congress to block and dis- organize the government by the vote of .a simple majority of either against a veto, in- stead of fhe two-thirds of both, which’ the constitution requires to override a veto, the long accepted theory of our legislation is subverted, and the veto power is eliminated from the constitution. If a bare ma- jority of either, house may glock the wheels of the government when its will is not submitted to, and thereby coerce the President into signing bills which he dis- approves, the veto power is a prepos- terous and contemptible nullity. It is not to be expected that President Hayes will accept this degrading view, and the whole responsibility of disorganizing the govern- ment will rest upon the democratic ma- jority if Congress adjourns without pass- ing the appropriation bills. Bottom Pacts About St. Patrick. In our considerations of the legend of St. | Patrick we have touched but lightly upon the probability that the great regenerator of Ireland was an American; yet we have no “doubt'whatever that, if there ever was any such person as St. Patrick, he went to the tight little island from this side of the sea, and was himself the first link in that psycholog- ical relation which has subsisted between the two countries more or less continuously ever since: Who St. Patrick wasin America we do not know, but it is probable that he was an Alderman in some city of the’mound builders. In the light of this theory, that the Saint was really the first Irish-American, the wayfaring man, though a fool—as he very often is—may perceive at once in whata symmetrical and beautiful style the history of Ireland has repeated itself; for succor, aSsistance and purification sent from America to Ireland .is the familiar fact of ourown times as well as the substance of the legend. Indeed, in this view we might‘contemplate St. Patrick os the first of the Fenians, He would probably have been plunged into a British bastile if there hag been one, or if at that time there had been seven centuries of oppression to denounce. Archwologists will observe that this theory accounts‘ for the snakes that figure in the legend, since snake worship was the great original religion of the early Americans, and an American on his travels would be surrounded with the emblems of his religion. These would also appear in pictorial representations of his voyage, but an ignorant posterity would lose the tradition of their significance and supply an imaginary explanation. But, while we are certain that St. Patrick was an Ameri- can, if there was any St. Patrick, we are compelled to declare our cv.\.ction that the whole story isa great national myth, and nota personal history, and this may be Clearly proved in accordance with the theories of the celebrated Macksey O'Muller, @ distinguished authority on mythology. All the elements of tho myth are whiskey, snakes and gentility., lt is certain that before the period put “down as that of the Saint the Druidaruled the roast in Ireland, and the roast was a still, for “grab” and “bub” stand for one . another in all legends. These Druids made fearfully bad whiskey, which was the only beverage theinhabitantshad. Consequently the coun- try was full of snakes, which, as we have be- fore pointed out, were in the boots of the people. Then came into the country some gentlemen from America. In the language of the people, which was afterward called Latin by one of the great errors common in philological history, these persons were designated patricians, on account of their evident gentility. They taught the in- habitants how to make whiskey as good as it was made in Bourbon county. Irishmen used this excellent beverage liberally and there were no more snakes. Therefore it was said that the patricinns drove out tho snakes. Popular gratitude preserved the memory of this achievement in pictures of these patricians, who were all fine tall fel- lows. Eventually these pictures, which were not photographs, were thought to be various portraits of one person whose name it was supposed was Patricius, which be- came popularized os Patrick, and in the course of time the Church adopted this mythical hero and made a saint of him. White Slaves. Iti is quite remarkable and discouraging that, after all the publicity which has been given to the traffic in Italian children, padrones still roam safely about the coun- try, abuse their little victims and live upon what the children beg and steal. All this happens among people who helped abolish negro slavery, who view the coolie system with abhorrence, send missionaries to the heathen and attend meetings to talk and pray for what they term the evangelization of Italy. Wicked New York has followed the padrone so closely that none of these scoundrels or their slaves are to be found im our streets, but if the various bands have merely disappeared by going to the in- térior cities and towns the evil exists as flourishingly as ever. Humane people, shrewd detectives: and laws against in- voluntary servitude are to be found every- where, Why are they not used against the padrones, wherever found? here is no other way to repress this revolting traffic in human life except that of prompt legal action. There is but one system uhder which the little Italian musicians come to this country, and that is practically a worse form of slavery than the negro ever ondured in America, ‘The business is conducted by brutes and makes its victims brutal, The Chinese aro blessings to society compared with the padrones and the ignorant, hard- ened vagabonds that the Italian children be- come by the time they reach their majority. Let this particular phase of everybody's business be followed up by everybody claim- ing to be human, until the padrones are driven into penitentiaries or out of the country, and the worse than orphaned chil- dren cared for according to their great necessity. The Democratic Caucus. It became evident on the first ballot in the democratic caucus of members of the House last evening how false and hollow and boastful have been the pretensions of Mr. Blackburn. He nover had any real , chance forthe Speakership. Mr. Randall was so far ahead on the first ballot that no further interest was felt in a contest thus virtually decided, We congratulate Mr. Randall on his brill- iant success. It is alike creditable to him and to the democratic party. It is an in- dorsement by the party not prez of his personal character but of the policy of moderation, retrenchment and economy of which he has been so conspicuous and deter- mined achampion. Mr. Randall is the best choice for Speaker which the’ new House could have made, and the democratic party has reason to congratulate itself that it was in no rea) danger of being committed to the wild political, sectional and financial here- sies represented by Mr, Blackburn. We wish we could feel ‘assured that Mr. Ran- dall’s election as Speaker isa guarantee that wise and moderate counsels will prevail in the extra session, The Plea of the Poor. Under the above title a resident of a tene, ment house expressed in yesterday's Henaup the opinions of the better members of his class. His arguments and implications will not affect landlords and_ the -busi- ness world any, for business is business, and the man who conducts it, no matter what he may profess to be when he is away from'the scenes of his daily work, regards according to their business aspects all tene- ment houses, whiskey shops and other means of money making. But nearly every man has asentiment, of which he is more or less ashamod, in favor of something that is morally superior to business—a something which some men call charity, others humanitarianism, and still others Christianity, but which in either or all cases implies that all men are to some ex-. tent their brothers’ keepers, and are, according to the measure of their means, responsible for the condition of such of the lower strata of society as are not vicious. The only prominent organization that pro- fesses to embody this sentiment in its prin- ciples is the Church, and the-efforts and gucesss of this body in the direction of ameliorating the condition of the poor is’ the only one of its claims to respect which infidels as well as Christians acknowledge. The condition of our tenement houses had frequently been made known, and partio- ularly so within the past few weeks. Now, what is the Church, or the churches, going palates. The entire.nature of the liquor is ehanged by the compound operation; wine no longer, ever getting into the market here. reformatory movement in which they will have so much aid and be so tialy to suc- coed? Carelessness and Crime. The case of a church officer who had been suspected of improper relations with women has lately been exciting a denominational and sotial circle in the City of Churthes and ended in a verdict of not guilty, but indiscreet, Tho individual and his friends are to be congratulated that the suspicions seem to have been groundless; but both they and other persons professing Christian rectitude will make a grave mistuke if they fail.to comprehend the real seciousness of what is admitted. The w>d has had experience enough in such matters to be able to understand that indiscretion, without evil intent of any kind, works a thousand times as much mischief os wilfal crime, and is therefore to be more carefully avoided, particularly by those whose professions induce other people to regard them as models for humanity to con- form to, The inmates of our prisons are in most cases just where they should be, but their misdeeds seldom have anything like the bad and far-reaching influence of the irregularities of hundreds of times as many persons who are regarded as respectable. The people should understand and the pul- pit should preach what experience has been saying with ceaseless and saddening itera- tion for centuries, that it is not the crimi- nals but the fools, the careless, who keep society in hot.water and retard human progress, PERSONAL INTELLIGENCE.

How much of it, where and by whom is it being used? Spare the Children, An indignant parent lately complained through the Hxnaup of the severe tasks which school children are compelled to ac- complish. ‘Tho complaint is well founded. Whether education or mere discipline is the object of attendance at school, neither jus- tifies the physical constraint and mental exertion to which hundreds of thousands of children are subjected every day. Few soldiers are as severely taxed on the drill ground os ‘many children are in our show schools and others which aspire to high reputation for order; but, as if this cruel training were not gestractive enough of health and spirit, the custom grows more and more popular with teachers to make school hours merely the time for reci- tation, the lessons to be studied at home. After six hours spent in the schoolroom, and from four to six at study at home, how much time and inclination has a child for recreation? Parents should remember that they have rightfully a voice upon the course of studies to be followed by their children, and should refuse to allow home to be turned into a schoolroom unless they are themselves going to officiate as teachers and save their children from doubled reatraint and double duty. Amother Chance for the Temperance Party. Tt is to be hoped that the large and re- spectablé body of people who desire legisla- tion to. restrain intemperance are alive to all their opportunities. Jast before the adjournment of Congress a Senate com- mittee reported favorably on ao resolu- tion requesting the Treasury and State de- partments to veh imag upon the adulterations and ‘“‘fortifying” of wines and liquors made abroad for use in this country, and wine drinkers in* the com- munity will admit that thero is a great deal to be inquired into. It is the generul ver- dict of drinking men that the quantity of headache to be obtained from a given quan- tity of wine cannot be ageertained by the ordinary tests of brand, taste and gppea® ance, but that many a bottle of wine apparently light is more annoying to stomach, head, temper and equilibrium than an equal quantity of strong spirits would be.
