The daily circulatioa Of the An.erioan 0rgan Is

BATHISG.-The custom of bathing the body every
day, we believe, is recommended by nearly every
physician in the land but we fear that large ma
jorty of our citizens do not adopt this pleasant and
healthful practice. In this custom we are far be-
hind the old Roman and Eastern nations which
retrogression ought never to have occurred.
Among the old nations, bathing was constant
though costly luxury, while, to indulge in it,
every refinement of architecture and ornament was
exerted. The public baths had FIVE or six apart
ments for the accommodation Of bathers. In Rome
there were $50 public baths, single ones of which
could accommodate ], 800 persons at one time.
The Mahommedans consider frequent bathing
a religious duty, 80 that every house has bathing
apartments, and every village public bath. The
luxury Of Turkish bath has been frequently d.
lated upon. warm ana hot bathing are now very
general, even Russia and Hungary. We certainly
should not be behind the age in regard to bathing
The practice is 20 essential TO vigorous and healthy
naturalization that there is wisdom in the religion
which enforces It as a duty. A clean skin Is full
as necessary TO health as food, as your physician
viii tell you.

The MAYOR VERSUS THE COMPTROLLER AND
THE CoRPoRArToN CoUNsEL.-The Mayor has
already refused to sign some warrants which
have received the signature ofthe Comptroller,
and all that are not accompanied by speciii-
cation of the items. 1t has been the custon
for the Mayor heretofore simply to put his
name to them without questioning the legality
Of the claim, but Mr.. Wood has announced his
determination to examine all the accompanying
papers before he viii consent TO sign the war
rants.
A few days ago warrant for over fifteen
thousand dollars, bearing the signature Of the
Comptroller, was presented to him, but he re-
fused to endorse it, on the ground that some Of
the 'items'' were exorbitant. Among these
was one amounting to eight hundred dollars
while the services performed were not worth
perhaps one twentieth Of the sum- Yet the le-
gality Of this claim was admitted by Mr.. Dillon,
the Counsel to the Corporation, who has already
placed himself in an attitude Of hostility to the
work Of reform commenced by the Mayor.
Let Mr.. Wood persevere, however; he will have
the people in his favor, and if Mr.. Dillon still
persists in his opposition let the matter be tested
before the courts. It is time that this pecul.-
ton should be put stop to, and those who in
this contest take the side of the dishonest and
currupt should suffer with them.

TIE HARD TINES ND THE BANEs.-The news
papers are busily engaged in proposing RENE
dies for the hard times, and some propose the
establishment OF grea. national bauk with a
capital of five hundred millions, to absorb ali
the State banks and Incorporated in.sitations
Of the same kind. This is simply revival OF
the old national bank project which agi.a,ed
the country twelve OF fifteen years ago, aud
was set aside in very decisive manner. The
present financial system OF the country, with
its banks, bonds, State credits and every
branch Of the credit system, is an expcdient
one, and contains the secret Of the prosperity
of the country, and its rapid material develope-
ment ard power. That The present system has
faults il undoubtedly tue, but 1t is she best
that can he devised. A national bank would
centralize the financial system, and thus ex,iu-
guish the very feature in the present system
which has been found so bene6cial-the rivalry
between moneyed institutions-and also estab
lish . financial despotism foreign to the cha
racter Of our institutions.
