Gates Wanted Mt the Ferries.

The parsimony Of the ferry companies has
cost more than one life. Deaths are constantly
reported Of people falling of the bridges at
the ferries. The other night an unfortunate
lady, with her child in her arms-being near
sighted--walked over the dock at one Of the
Williamsburg ferries and was drowned. 1t
would cost but little TO put gates to the ferry
bridges so that no one could go of them when
there was no boat in the slip. The extra labor
for attending 10 the gates would be very
small addition to the expenses Of the company,
as there are plenty Of hands always about the
boats. But the fact is that the directors OF the
ferries are so avaricious that they do moi
weigh human life against q dollar. Never
theless, the law ought TO compel them to Dc

New Racing Parks.

Under tue head of "The Turf" we published
yesterday special kilograms giving an interest
ing account of the opening Of two new racing
parks One was the Narragansett Park, at
Crans.on, Rhode Island; the other the Dia-
mond Beach Park, Cape Island, New Jersey.
A decided impulse has lately been given to
racing sport in this country. The success of
the Jerome racing park at Fordham has I'M
doubleday had the effect OF stimulating similar
enterprises in other paris Of the country, and
we may expect to see many more; for the love
of pleasure and popularity is associated in the
views of those who establish them with shrewd
money making operations. However, they are
decided improvements which should be en-
couraged. They embellish the envrons of
cities, afford healthy and an exciting recrea-
ton to the people, and tend to improve the
breed of horses. But In order TO make them
popular and useful, all those who project or
control these racing parks should take care
to keep the blacklegs and gamblers away, and
should give the mass Of the people an oppor-
tunity of enjoying the sports in them. In this
way they will become both useful and profit
able otherwise they might become an evil

The UnadilIa Bank-Served Them Right.

1t appears that the people of Oisego county
have been nicely caught in their own trap by
the failure of the Unadlla Bank, and that this
is the secret Of their turbulence. The farmers
and others in the vicinity having money on
hand loaned it to the Bank, and took the notes
Of the officers for the same in order to avoid
taxation. In trying to rob the government of
its dues they have themselves been robbed.
OF course there is not much sympathy for the
victims since this fact has been known. There
are, no doubt, great many others in the same
situation these Otsego people were in-trying
to cheat the government by all sorts of eva
sions. They had better look OUT for dishonest
practices in one are apt to beget dishonesty
in others having business relations with each
other.

The Virginia Convention.

The report given to-day of the proceedings
in the Virginia Convention, OF Richmond, tells
very plainly that there is no Improvement in
the relations between the Hunnicutt faction
and the Bolts faction of republicans in the Old
Dominion. The split grows wider and deeper.
The niggers have the balance of power, and,
under the lash Of Hunnicutt use 1t without
reserve. There will be In that State white
mans republican party and black mans re-
publican party, and the former may have
strength enough to give the State to any well
organized opposition.

The EuRvfsh Reform BiII-Breakers Amend

By the cable news in to-day's HERALD it will
be seen that the attempt Of the English House
of Lords to modify the Reform bill as sent up
by the Commons, by raising the rate of quail
fcation, has produced renewal of the popular
excitement. Another grand meeting in Hyde
Park is convened. The action of the Lords
upon the legislation of the popular House is,
to say the least Of IT, illtimed and dangerous
Lord Derby, who in the Upper House is all
powerful, should have managed better than to
permit this interference with the work of his
sagacious henchman, Disraeli. The people and
the aristocracy are now once more brought
into direct antagonism, and unless the Lords
give way there will probably be trouble.

Another American Triumph.

1t is sometimes said by our friends on the

in ideas. It is not so. Americans don't love
ideas for their own sake only, but for what
they arc worth. The reaping machines which
have just been the wonder and admiration of

from ali competitors, are fair specimens Of the
