The Case Of NIr. Seward-The Insrntifude
Of Politicians.

Of Politicians.
II is melancholy fact that we have to de-
fend Mr.. Seward in his old age. We were
never his adherent, neither his supporter nor
his admirer. We never shared in spoiIs Of his
winning nor fattened on the plumber gotten at
the cost Of his moral sense. And yet we, at
the last, out of an enlarged humanity that we
alone possess among journalists, must raise
our voice in behalf of the aged statesman and
against the treatment he is receiving at the
hands Of those who adhered to him in his days
OF pride and prosperity. Behold the Secretary
place out of which Webster will not help
one. 1t is equivalent to saying that he is in
the horse latitudes, with not the least breeze
Of hope for the future to watt a sluggish fancy
to better places. He feels so badly that he
does not want to make speech. Because he
has not heart for speech 'or that brisk converse
and interchange OF conceit that was his delight
be will not dine He refuses even the most
delicate viands Judge Of the state of his
stomach and of the intellectual condition
that led to that state! ssThis Is the
state Of mani" The ''nipping frost
must come; but when il comes (f we
may mix our Wolsey with Macbeth) there
ought to be ''troops of friends" to cheer and
shield against its discomforts. Where are the
friends IN this emergency Of the ancient Secre-
tary? There is voice from Rio, not so gene
rous In its aroma as the Rio coffee-the voice

make dreary journey to the same town, and
adds what bitterness he can In his allegations

From Greeley we could expect nothing else.
Seward once refused 10 give him some little
Office In country town--a post Office, per-
haps-and he has been sewards sworn enemy
ever since, and will never forgive him any
more than he will now forgive Grant FOR not
giving him another post Office. His flings and
jibes were therefore expected, and must give
as little pain TO the Secretary as did the stabs

pain Is in the blow Of this ''litre villain OF q

Tho Great swindle.

Three hundred and sixty thousand dollars Is
the sum total Of the money Of citizens held by
the gas companies through outrage and extor-
ton. At least they admit that they hold THIS
much, though, as these companies do business
on principles that defy all ordinary commercial
usage it is not safe to believe their statements,
though sworn to. The probability is that they
hold twice or thrice the sums they admit One
Of the companies admits that three thousand
dollars has been abandoned to it by the own
ers of the moneya OF course, as
watches and purses are abandoned to high
waymen, because the owners see not the re-
hottest chance for recovery. Another OF the
companies attempts to justify this seizure of
money by saying that one hundred and seven
teen thousand dollars which it holds is all that
it has to secure one hundred and seventy thou
sand dollars owing to it. Was ever anything
more preposterous than this put forth? There
are several points in this statement worthy
public consideration. First, by this the COM
pany claims as business principle that If one
of its customers has defrauded it it has the
right to provide against loss by rObbing any
other customer of an equivalent sum. Here is
commercial morality that regards the mass
of customers as the common enemy. Is this
mercantile view? Second, the company ad-
mits by this plea that its atrocious system has
not even tho poor recommendation Of pre-
venting loss. Third, the point most worthy
public consideration is that the statement is in
all probability an impudent Justification If
the company does not mean that the one hun
dred and seventy thousand dollars is loss,
what right has it to any security above other
dealers? And if it means that it is o loss, how
is its statement credible? All the gas is paid
for In advance-that Is, the company requires
deposit from every consumer before 1t will
supply him. The sum thus required is, on the
average of all the bills, equal to the price of
months supply. At the end Of the month the
consumer pays, and then his deposit stands as
an advance on the next month. Where Is the
room for loss? Again, the company requires
one man to pay the bills for gas that may have
been left unpaid by the one who preceded him
in the same house, and, however scandalous
and atrocious this security against loss, it is
effective.

That coloreA Cabin Passenger.

BY the Judges charge the whole point in tho
case Of the suit against the steamship company
for ejecting colored person from the cabin is
made to turn on the point whether or not the
daughter used deception in purchasing tho
ticket Judge DAILY has put the merits of these
cases in clear light. Common carriers are re-
quired to take passengers, but can impose their
own rules, and may properly separate persons
Of different color, 50 that no colored person
has right or claim to travel In cabin set
apart for whites. Nevertheless If the com
pany makes fair contract to carry colored
person in the cabin of the whites it mnst exc
cute this contract. The question Is, then,
whether the company sold the tickets knowing
they were for colored persons, or whether the
tickets were when sold believed to be for
whites. The company claims that the tickets
were sold for whites, as the daughter who
bought them could not be distinguished from
a white person, and that this daughter de-
ceived the company as to the color OF her
mother, who is black. This fact is what the
jury Is to determine. If there was deception
the plaintiff cannot recover damages; but II
the company knew, or for any reason were
bound to know, that the plaintiffs mother was
black woman it must pay.

to-day extracts from the report Of the commit

have been so common at Albany. The devel-

account Of the Erie war. immense sums OF
money have been poured out like water to
grease the fingers Of the men who, sent to
legislate for the public good, sell deliberately
their influence and their votes. Justice no
longer can be obtained against such ma!ign
influences as are brought TO bear by the vast

GEORGIA AND SOUTH CAROLINA Pass THE
CONSTITUTIONAL AMENDMENT. The fifteenth
amendment to the constitution was passed yes
terday by the General Assembly of South
Carolina. In the Georgia House Of Repre-
sentatives it was also passed, but by very
small majority. The principal objections
urged were the old ones of State rights, but
they were Of no use. The old State rights
principle is fast becoming limited to its proper
sphere and the general government is profting
in q greater Capitalization and consequent
greater credit as nation.
