the cheeseparings Of London and the crumbs
of Paris, and drink the dribble even of Berlin.
Not verJ long ago there was good little play
performed in London-the production OF an
English author-picturing peculiar phases OF
English life. As the play went on New York
manager had the author by the button hole
bargaining for copy of the manuscript, and
another New Yorker had stenographers busy in
different parts Of the house taking down the
words Of the different characters. 1t has no
yet transpired whether there were not half
dozen more managers and actors equally busy
in different ways-in the authors trunk or his
old brooches pocket-picking out and fitting
together fragmentary parts Of this wonderful
play to make perfect copy. AS yet only two
have presented it to the public. 1t is but fair
to suppose the others will come on in time.
But does it not seem q very ridiculous specta-
Gle that in city like this we may 60 through
year after year withou. a single decent
dramatic picture of American life, and have so
many men vieing with each other in the pre-
sentation Of every little play that may hit the
fancy OF the Londoners! We have actors and
actresses of first rate ability. Native talent,
or talent trained here, is better than any other
on the stage; and why must we be content to
laugh at London follies when we have 80 many
Of orr own.

Another National Bank Failure.

Another of those rotten institutions called
national banks has collapsed. The Farmers
and Citizens Bank of Brooklyn has followed
swindling the public. Great numbers of
farmers, market gardeners, mechanics and
small tradesmen had their deposits in this
bank, their earnings and savings for years, and
the means for paying their employees. Hun
dreds OF poor working people will have to go
unpaid and many be lett without the means of
getting bread, through this failure. 1t will be
seen by our report in another part of the
HERALD that there was great excitement in the
Eastern District Of Brooklyn In con-
sequence of SO many people of the
humber class being victims; and well
there might be. The poor people are
deluded by those rotten institutions being
called national" when, in fact, they are no
more safe or sound than other private corpora
tons Indeed, they are proving far less safe
than the old banks. Congress has been guilty
OF great wrong in creating these establish
ments, and in cheating the people into the
belief that they are sound and reliable because
they are invested with the name Of national
banks They are delusion and a swindle
upon the public; and Congress, Chief Justice
Chase--ihe founder ofthem-Mr. McCul och and
his Treasury Department, aud all who estab-
lished or support them, are guilty Of deceiving
the people. 1t will be well for the farmers,
mechanics, tradesmen and the people generally
not to trust their deposits In the hands Of these
irresponsible and rotten institutions. They
have the greatest temptations to speculation,
extravaganza and fraud, and with all the sup
port the Treasury Department and the Chase
politicians can give them they are bound to
fall. The people Of this country will no,
tolerate long . system 90 corrups and dan.

Tho California Election-The Star In the
West.

Tho California Eiection-The Star In the
West.
The bottom appears to have fallen out Of
the republican tub in the late California cleo
ton. The loss Of the Governor, Legislature,
and two of the three members Of Congress to
which the State is entitled, by eight or ten
thousand majority on the opposition side, over
coming to this extent late republican ma
jority of twenty thousand, is something more
than sporadic case of party discords and
general apathy. There was split in the party
on the Governor; and, as consequence, q
widespread feeling of dissatisfaction and in
difference among the rank and file; but all
this is not sufficient to account for the general
break down upon the Governor, Legislature
and Congressman. The general result signi-
fes general reaction upon larger issues than
the petty personal squabbles in the party camp,
given as the radical explain ,tion of this defeat
What, then, are the causes to which this extra
ordinary republican disaster may be attributed,
for it is a defelt which amounts to q disaster :?
1t is plain to us that the causes lie in the dis
satisfaction of the California people with the
radical excuses and demoralizing tendencies
of the party in power.
Negro suffrage and negro supremacy, Chinese
suffrage and equality, the financial policy of
Mr.. Chase and its tendencies, and the general
drift of the whole radical programme Of national
reconstruction to endless taxations and cor
ruptions, have done the business for the repub-
lican party Of California This is the meaning
of this California election; for it does not mean
revival of the copperhead democracy, nor
an endorsement Of the reconstruction policy of
Andrew Johnson, nor anything of the kind.
1t marks the beginning Of the dissolution of
the republican party, as the splits and squab-
bles in the old wing and democratic parties
marked the beginning of their decline and
downfall. 1t is the beginning Of q permanent
popular reaction, which will spread, and p roba-
bly, in the coming autumn elections, from
Sandy Hook to the COLLEEN Gate Of San Fran
cisco. In the progress of that popular move
Quincy Adams and the Adams party, when
Maine was first carried by the Jackson party,
she was set down as "the Star in the East;' 80
now, by the great body Of the conservative
Union masses Of the country, casting about for
a new national Union party equal to the de-
mands of the crisis, California may be pro-
claimed as "the Star in the West'-the rising
star which gives notice of the dawn of new
epoch, a new party, new measures and new
men, adapted to the new requirements of the
country, and the new departure which has be-
come necessary in our domestic and foreign
affairs Most emphatically, however, do we
regard this California election as q rebuke
from the people against this mad and danger
Gus radical scheme Of universal negro suffrage
and negro supremacy, and we may look for the
same protest from Pennsylvania and New York
in October and November.

the election in California, as If il were in some
way a triumph for him or his policy. This is
all nonsense. The President must not be
miscd by his sycophant, and Hatterers into the
notion that this reaction against the radicals Is
in his favor. He will make the worst of all his
blunders If he draws any encouragement from
the radical defeat on the Pacific.
