JUNIOR BACnELoRs' CLUB This
Society-this new ant-marriage institution
has issued pamphlet, neatly printed
affair, containing an Address by Franklin
Wood, and Poetical Address by Edmund
Walsh, both of which were delivered at the
Annual Pic Mic cf the Society," held on the
9th of the past month. The Addresses,
which we have read carefully, contain much
literary merit, and do honor TO the writers
as scholars, and we would advise our young
folks to get copy and peruse it at leisure.
We have high respect for the members of
the Club, as we consider them young men
of mind and talent, but at the same time we
must protest against the spirit of such un-
warrantable institutions. Did we entertain
an idea that such a society would be of long
duration. We should call loudly upon the
fair maidens of our beautiful city, to arise in
their might, and speedily adopt measures to
put an end to it's existence. A society of
such fine looking and attractive young men
as compose this Club, can but see that their
institution is founded Oh sand, and cannot
endure but short time. One by one their
members will plunge into the sea Of matri.
mony, and thereafter boldly deny, or confess
with shame, that they were ever connected
Herewith. Ladies, we leave the matter in
your hands. trusting you will crush this
movement in its infancy. and appropriate
the members thereof to yourselves.
We would add, that this neatly printed"
pamphlet was printed in the Office of the
State Democrat, where more of the same
quality can be promptly done.

hal Phi in wheL NJ Daniel. and other. entered with
Nj Ve Mr Nisls in consequenee Of lis saecsss ap

SO mapy words-so many errors.
There were all told but plans actually submitted
TO the old Commissioners, TO wit: by Mr.. Vele
and one by Mr. SsmuelJ Gustn the present Landscape
Gardener.
|. One other plan was brought to the Office, by q
French gentleman from Yonkers, but il was never
formally examined by the Commissioners. These
were the "mspy others such was the "competi'
ton" with which Mr.. Viele had to contend The old
Commissioners cid net attempt To elicit popular com.
petition. They offered premiums for plans; they
made public adve tisement that phns were wanted.
Mr Viee did not receive his appointment " in conse-
quence of his success in this socaled "competi-
ton" Tie appointment was conferred upon hun e1-
lusivey upon tie ground of bis supposed competency
as an erg neer.
The plan offered by him was rejected by the Com
mission ers except ss TO two or three OF It's features.
This is the whole of his " success No other
poof of this Is needed than is found in the a that
lie Office # Landscape Designer was conferred upon
Roswe Graves esq. To him belonged the duty OF
determining, ofcto the form OF the Park, SUBJECT
only TO the directions of the Commissioners. Wash
pgion Irving may remark in passing expressed the
opini,n (concurred in by the entire Consulting
Board") that the plan Of Mr.. Gustin was " very
beautiful and tasteful design. 1t unfortunately had
the disadvantage of being an IDEAL plan, while Mr..
Viele's was supposed to have been prepared from
actual surveys." shall not discuss the question
raised by your correspondent as to the proprley OF
the action of the present Commissioners IN taxing
measures to secure fair and honorable competition OF
designs. The old "conpetition'' was sham and a
burlesque. 1t ia questionable whether person who
already occupies the position Of Engneer-inC Chlet,
displays good taste" in becoming competitor for
the prizes offered by the Commissioners, since he in
my event must carry out the plan adopted and since
it but too natural for disappointed aspirant to find
onc object upon Which to vent his veyaton But as
there Is DO such thing as arguing question Of taste
cheerfully leave the point to the candid consldera-
ton OF Mr.. Niee and the public. NERirAs.

INTEREST ON BANK DEPOSITS.

To tie Editor If The " y. Tribune
SIR: There seems to be very general desire on the
part Of the best governed banks to abolish the per-
n.ous practice of paying interest for depositsa prac
tce which must ever tend TO undue and dangerous e1
pansions, followed by rapid and disastrous costrae-
tions How fearful the recent exemphcations! 10
guard against this great evil almost unanimous action
en- the part of the banks is necessary; and that 1t
would SEEM is not easily obtained this any other
great question of public interest. To meet the case
legislation has been proposed, prohibiting the banks
from paying interest on deposits.
Allow me to suggest simple law which, l think,
world at once check the evil, and produce the una
nimy on this question which appears now so difficult
Let the Legislature pass law attaching unlimited
rsrsonal liability to the shareholders of all banks
paying interest for deposits and we shall hear no
more Of a want Of united action on this question.
Ii banks were also prohibited by law from making
what ore called call loans, am very sure many un-
necessary sgitatons Of our moneymaiket would be
avoided Allow them at three days call, If you please,
or any other short tme but not "on call, for many
reasons which can be given. DEPosIToR.

IT, the Editor Of The n. \. Tribune.

II the Editor Q The \. Tribsae
SIR: The extraordinary resolution Of the Board Of
Commissioners Of the Central Park, passed at their
meeting of Feb. 9, exhibits, Il seems to me- an utter
msconception of the fundamental idea Of the Park
beside disclosing a fckle and vacillatng policy on
their part II il had been the original intention of the
Commission TO demand estimates of details Of con-
struction in connection with the plans, why was not
this important feature clearly se forth in the circulars
Of specifications prepared for the benefit of compe.
tors last FALL and which has formed the basis OF all
the plans which have been commenced and ught now
to be nearly compietsd3
The very fact that at this eleventh hour they come
with startling declaration IL the best evidence
that they never thought Of imposing its conditions at
the outset.
We had reason to feel then that they entertained
that large and liberal iGea, which they seem 10 Dc
losing sight Of ow that the Park il 10 be work OF
art and not merely a triumph Of mechanical skill In
ugineering and construction work where peifect
development has less 70 do with the present than with
the future.
They have dispelied this illusion, and weakened the
confidence OF competitors, IN their judgment and STA
bility of purpose by abruptly demanding working e--
Inmates 10 accompany their plan, when only three
weeks remain in which TO complete the work. ohe
cannot help deplorng either their utter ignorance Oi
the amount of labor comprised in that resolution, or
the culpable indifference and want Of consideration
and reflection which allowed il q pass. Are they not
aware that the mere item of draining could not be
sysemazed in the short time left that the details oi
lighting even more complicated than might nj hrst
aIpt ar to say nothing Of the more important matters
which will not dwell upon.
The utter INJUSTICE and abeurdity of the resoouon
must be apparent 10 every rejecting person. What
