The corn upon which this fertilizer was ap-

sides q surplus of 100000. Every tenant in
the Peabody Buildings is fully master OF MS
own house, and his seclusion and privacy are
as secure as in the dwellings in the adjacent
streets. The sanitary conditions of the build
ings have been found to be excellent, and the
habits of the occupants for cleanliness and
order have improved in marked degree. 1he
terms are well within the means of working
men, and the general favor with which the
scheme is received is apparent from the nume-
rous applications for every vacancy. The new
Trusts embraced in Mr. Peabodys recent
gifts will greatly accelerate the progress
of the trustees in carrying forward the oD-
iect of the benefactions. Sir Sydney
Waterlow's Company now house about 4OOo
persons. This Company has advanced more
RAPIDLY than the other because the Peabody
Trust only extends itself out of its own profits,
while the Waterlow Company obtains loans
from Government to erect other buildings on
the security of buildings already erected Other
companies in London have adopted similar
policy. and the progress made toward the re-
moyal of a crying evil is described as very
great. even in that great metropolis In New
York, we are convinced, the effect must prove
adaptabilty of our metropolitan population
renders the plan peculiarly feasible here, ana
the want of fair accommodations at tair
price is so grievously felt that Mr.. Stewart
could not inaugurate his project at better
time.
A radical defect in all attempts at improving
the condition of the poor of this city Is TO DC
found in the fact that we have hitherto pro-
yided charities which could only be accepted
by the very base or the very unfortunate
classes of the community. There has been
no endeavor to provide workingmen
with homes where they can live in comfort
for reasonable rent and in this way to pre-
vent well-disposed people from becoming bad.
What we need are great public benefactlons
which shall not be charities. In this country
we have one peculiar illustration in point-that
of widespread religious communion In when
poverty and charity are alike unknown. The
German Baptists. or Dunkers as they arc usu-
ally called, together with the Mennonites and
other sects with similar tenets embrace a
membership of 100000 people in pennsylvania
and the West, and yet in this whole BODY
there is scarcely head of family not pos
sessed of competency. They are people
not addicted to the giving of aims, but the
Younger men have the use of the capital or
the elders, not as a gift but loan, and by
frugality and industry grow rich as they grow
old The same results might be expected to
follow in measure at least, if we should pro-
vide cheap homes for our laboring poor.
Thrift would be encouraged while happiness,
and education, and morality were promoted,
and what would be to the advantage of the
citizen yeuld also prove q gain to the city.

HOMES IN TIE CITY.

When Mr.. Alexander Il. Stewart builds his
projected houses for working-peOplc, we hOpe
he will endow them upon commercial princi
pies similar to the Peabody Trusts and Sir
Sydney Waterlows Company in London. The
British metropolis, under the Transforming in
fuences of railways and skilled labor, has
changed 80 much within the last quarter of q
century as 10 furnish fair parallel to the
growth and expansion of this city. In both
cities like causes have destroyed street after
street Of workngmen's lodgings and given
them up to large manufactures and immense
commercial houses. In London, as in New
York, dwelling houses of higher class have
multiplied indefinitely, while small tenements,
so far from increasing, too often fall before
tho march of improvement. Everybody is
aware of tho effect Of this policy
in this city, where, year after year,
increased rents are demanded for poorer lodg-
ings A workingman whose weekly earnings
are from S18 to $50 per week cannot find q
comfortable dwelling anywhere upon the island
at rent at all within his means, and the con-
sequence Is that he is driven from the city
altogether, or compelled to submit to all the
inconveniences and annoyances of lower class
tenements. Where q man can place his family
in a snug little home in one of the surround
ing villages, described in THE TRIBUNE on
Monday he will find himself better off than in
contending against the exactions Of landlords
in the city but many persons are so situated
that they cannot get out of town, though it is
degradation and death to stay in it. To this
latter class Mr.. Stewards dwellings, and others
which would be sure to follow from his exam
ple, would prove benefaction without being
q charity, and stimulate toll by offering re-
ward to manly independence.
Mr.. Peabody's Trusts now amount to ESQ.,
OOJ. The original fund was a gift of f1jO,OOO
With this the trustees have already completed
dwellings for 1911 persons, OF 400 families, aud
the plan being reproductive, they have be-

Mr. Reverdy johnson has this morning the
curious sensation of reading that, on the same
day and at the same session of the body OF
which he was so long a member, his work
was undone and his successor confirmed. The
vote in the Executive session rejecting his
treaty was emphatic enough, we trust, to
enable our friends in Great Britain to compre-
hend at last the truth which we have for
months sought to enforce upon them. We
respectfully commend to their attention the
figures. Fifty-four Senators voted against the
treaty; precisely one voted for it. The injunc-
ton of secrecy having been removed, Mr..
Summers speech on the subject is to be
printed; and the unusual compliments paid
it in the debate, 10y Senators rarely cSmpli-
mentary to anything Mr. Sumner does, will
cause it to be regarded as in some sort an
authoritative expression of the American view

The lists of appointments for the ensuing
year will give interest, with large class of
our readers, to the proceedings of the New
York East Methodist Conference, reported else
where, but the feature likely to attract most
general attention is Temperance platform
which certainly expresses about as pronounced
opinions on the subject as have often received
the sanction of any religious body. 1t declares
the Church Total Abstinence Society, ques-
tons the propriety of the sacramental use OF
VINE, assails tobacco, favOrs prOhibitory laws,
and condemns the employment of physicians
who prescribe stmulants freely.

Gen. Grants estimate of his services in the
field, during the war Mr.. Sandford is merely
transferred from Belgium to Spain. Mr..
Riotte, sent to Costa Rica, was ap-
pointed TO the same post by Mr. Lin
coin and recalled by Mr.. johnson.
He is native of Germany, an exile of 184S
a Jealous Republican and man Of culture.
Gen. Andrews of Minnesota, sent to take Mr..
Yeaman's place in Denmark, was at the out
break of the war a young St. Cloud lawyer,
and State Senator lie was prominent in the
operations resulting in the fall of Mobile, con-
cerning which he has written book. Mr.. Morse,
reappointed COnsul-General at London, has held
that office with the general approval of the
Government since 1861. Gen. j. Meredith
Read, jr carries off the Consul -Generalshp at
Paris, now held by Mr.. Nicolay president
Lincoln's Private Secretary, which Mr.. Mont
gomery Gibbs was reported to have secured.
of the other nominations those that will
attract the most attention are the ones reor-
ganizng important bureaus in the Interior De-
partment. Col. Eli Parker, the Indian on
Gen. Grants Staff, is made Commissioner
of Indian Affairs Judge Fisher of Ohio, Com
missioner of Patents, and Mr.. Van Aernam,
late Congressman from New-York, Commits
sioner of Pensions. The New-YOrk In
ternal Revenue appointments have gone
back unchanged. Gen. Barlow gets
the Marshalship, instead of Wads-
worth. Several of the other U. S. Marshals,
chiefly at the South, are remOved-the most
notable change being the substitution of
Stephen b. Packard for Gen. f. j. Heron
at New-Oreans..

The long columns of Executive nominations
sent to the Senate yesterday will form TO most
readers the most interesting feature of this
mornings news. They range from Foreign
Ministers Plenipotentiary to village POstmas-
tiers. If the President should manifest the
same industry and rapidity for two or
three days longer, the Office hunting
fever will soon abate, and the session
of the Senate may he a short one.
The most important of the new diplomatic
nominations are those for the Chinese, Mexi-
can, and Spanish missions. Mr. Howard, sent
to take Mr. Ross Brownies place in China, is n
former Congressman from Michigan, who was
appointed Postmaster of Detroit by Mr. Lin
coin in 1861 Gen. Nelson, sent to take Gen.
Rosecrans's place in Mexico, is an Indianian,

A friend writes with regard to the bill in
creasing the fees of the Sheriff of our City,
now pending at Albany, that
"The provisions OF that bill monstrous, especially
those which enable the Sheriff charge upon erey erecu
ton received tho full amount OF the fees lie would be en-
titled to upon collecting the Judgment no matter
whether he collects cent, that think 1t Ought to re-
ceive the condemnation Of every honest man."
We beg leave to assure our verdant friend
that the monstrosity of this bill is exactly what
will secure its passage. The Sheriff can afford
to pay 100000 for its passage; there are good
many legislators who think they can afford to
take his money. Hence the bill is pretty sure
to 20 through.

TO PROTECTTONISTS.

The champions of Free Trade are so busy,
jealous, and well organized, that the necessity
of systematic work to counteract their inces-
SAINT efforts must be manifest to every thought
full advocate of Protection.
We do not fear the issue if the People can
only be induced to read both sides. Often as
the opposing arguments for Protection and Free
Trade respectively have been brought home to
the American People, We have secured
from / large majority Of all who can
read verdict for Protection. We can do it
again and again if the People can only be in
duced to read both sides. But if we give up
the field to our adversaries, VIC give up the
contest as well.
We propose hencefOrth to keep on hand for
sale the best works which illustrate and uphold
the principle of Protection. We beg our
friends to circulate them and challenge our
opponents to unite with them in reading both
sides. Mr.. Wells's late dishonest Report-dis-
honest in that it is thoroughly hostile to Pro-
lection while pretending to DO otherwise
is printed for cheap diffusion and scat
tered broadcast by our antagonists. We have
therefore procured supply of Mr.. CAREY's
LETTERS TO WELLS, thoroughly reviewing his
statements, and refuting his deductions. These
letters (hirteen) appeared in successive issues
of THE DAILY TRIBUNE, and are now col
lected in pamphlet which is twice as large
as Wells's Report, yet we will afford it at
the price asked for that by tho Free Traders
ten cents per copy.
SOCIAL SCIENCE, by HENRY c. CAREY, is q
work for students of Political Economy, espe-
cially those who are hereafter to discuss it on
the stump or through the press. 1t is COM
plete exposition of the Science in threo largo
volumes. Price $40.
MANUAL OF SOCIAL SCIENCE is synopsis Of
the last named, in one compact volume, by
Kate Mexican. Price So 70.
TIE WAY TO OUTDo ENGLAND WITHOUT
FIGHTING HER, set forth in a series Of letters
to the Hon. Schuyler Colfax by HENRY c.
CAREY. We commend this especially to our
Irish and other foes Of British domination, who
fancy that the only way to resist such domina-
ton lies through the coarse expedent of whole
sale devastation and bloodshed. Mr.. Carey will
teach them better If they will but hear and
heed him. ...
We ask those who desire the prosperity and
growth of the Republic to aid us in giving
these works a wide circulation and general
perusal. We do not wish them read to the
exclusion Of those commended by the Free
Traders, but along with them, and by citizens
of every party and all classes, but especially
by those who live by their own
useful Labor. If the arguments of both
sides are fully considered, it must he
that the public judgment based thereon will be
in accord with the public interest and the
highest public good. Too often, one class
hears the argument and another pronounces
judgment. Let US resolve that this shall not
now be the case, but that every school district
shall resound with the facts and arguments
