The conduct Of the Board Of Health in regard
to the lepers is certainly open to censure. While
the Board affects sympathy for these poor unior-
tunates, and i doing what it may consider i. the
best for them, We believe tina, they arc spending
an extravagant sum Of money without accom-
ulishing the end to be desired.
The sum Appropriated for the use Of the Board
was certainly generous. and if properly handled
would 70 far u amcli,rate the miserable c5nii-

no fact of preexisting quarrel or
misunderstanding to justify this wholesale in
Jury. Belligerency, so far as the Rebels MAIN
famed if. proceeded-argues the Secretary
from the ports of Great Britain and her prov
inces. This and more, he remarks, on the
pyecipitancy of the Queens declaration, as Mr..
Bright characterized (which concession Oh
beligerency, we are made to understand, the
President regards as q part of our case only
so far as it shows the beginning and anlmus
of o course of conduct.
We have neither time nor space to pursue
fully an argument which takes up so many Oh
our columns. But we cannot forbear 10 COM
mend again the statements that Ureat
"Britain to the end continued to be the
"arsenal, the navy-yard, and the treasury
"of the insurgents" and that whereas we
lost more than q million of tuns ship
ping by the war waged by Anglo Rebellion,
Great Britain increased her shipping CORE
spondngly by 1,190,65O tuns. Approaching the
direct question of the Claims, our State Depart
ment complains that month after month the
Queens Courts consumed in quibblng over
statutory techncalities which Parliament might
have settled in moment by an act Learned
Counsel gave sanction to artful devices OF
"deceit;n and the English Government excused
itself by alleged defects of law and municipal
regulations Why not have repaired the law
Why not have taken the risk of doing damage
to two individuals like Laird and
Piioleau instead Of wreaking desoa-
ton upon o great and friendly nation
We need not pursue the narrative OF these
Claims, still deeply interesting to every Amerl-
can, still insisted upon with the cOnstaucy we
owe TO principle even more than to outraged
feeling. What Mr.. Golden said Mr.. Fish now
| most OPPORTUNITY recalls" You have teen car
frying on war against the United States from
"these shores and have been infiicting damage
"greater than would have been produced by
"many ordinary wars" Let it be understood,
finally, that our State Department lays down
the principle that no sovereign power can fairly
plead defect Of it's domestic penal statutes to JUS
tify or extenuate an international wrong, or,
in other words, that municipal regulations do
| not constitute the measure of nations re-
| sponsibhties.

They evidently do MT believe in cheap legis-
lation down in Alabama. Some enterprisiDg
reporter has been figuring up the cost of the
General Assembly of that State FOR the last
month and comparing it with the work done,
and he finds that the people have to pay just
$1,000 for every bill that reaches the Gov
ernor's table While the New York Legisla-
ture pockets more money every year than the
Senators and Representatives Of Alabama do.
they also infict many times the injury on the
State for the money they get If, however, in
addition to the salaries and the incidental ex-
penses of our Legislature, the bills of their
special committees for hotel parlors and car
rage hire, wine suppers, theater tickets, and
stationery, we had to stand the swindling
"jobs they annually pass and then pay for
the 900 and more bills that Gov. Hoffman
signed last Spring at the rate of $4,000 apiece.
we would better go into bankruptcy immedi-
ately, allow our Representatives at Albany to
divide the property in the State that they have
not already secured among themselves, and
begin life anew in some more favored region.
What a relief it would be to see only two bills
a week going through at Albany-and an early
adjournment

Editing and reporting on Brooklyn news
papers must he very poor business, since even
a Common Council (and they seldom have
anything TO spare) propose to make the ragged
reporters each present Of fifty dollars for his
Christmas box. If any one among them per-
mits himself to use the name of The TRIBUNE
in any manner fayOring the claims or per-
hitting the reception of such charity, we hope
some member, or officer, or outsider, will
promptly show him the door, land give us
early notice of his action. This annual market
for reporters is one of the notorious scandals
of the time, and it should be at once and for
ever stopped, for the sake of the members of
Common Councils at least, as it takes two
rogues in every instance to carry on the work
first the beggar who asks for the money,
and second the rObber of the public treasury
who votes it to him.

from the public chest might prove good tnng
for those appointed to distribute it, but IL "ou'u
do very little good to any others. we assert
a. q matter of fact, and appeal TO men Oh "iue
experience TO confirm our statement, thaI Oh

But not merely would the Two Millions be q
dead loss to tho Treasury--the whole scheme
would prove dead failure. The settlers VINO
had their 800 each this year would want
another 800 still worse next year-would often
need it to buy seed or piows to make crop
with. Ten years hence, not one in ten OF them
would be found on the several locations
whereon they squatted as preGmptionerS-not
half of them would be found anywhere. Mean
time. the Two Millions would have been sup
plemepted by several Millions more; and the
whole might as well have been thrown into
the sea.
We do not suppose Congress will lend any
countenance to this prepOsterous scheme. Un-
less it is ready to open the doors of the Treas
ury and invite every one to step in and I'LL his
pockets, this pauperizing the Freedmen ana
divestng them of all stamina and self-trust

We like an apt name, and therefore con-
gratulate whomsocver it may concern on the
choice of "The Forlorn Hope as the title of n
baud of devoted heroes who organized last
night for the avowed purpose of reforming and
purifying the Democracy of this city! Theo-
dore T. Tomlnson is the Hercules who is bold
enough to attack these Augean stables. His
intention is declared to be " to take into con-
sderation the many evils of the City Gov
ernment that holding Office may become hon
"orable, and legislation pure" To all which
we say, Amen But we have some grains of
doubt whether Theodore is likely to prove the
chosen vessel. He has done some droll things
in politics in his day; but, his enterprise of
reforming our City Government viii astonlsh
even those who know him best.

REG ULdTING VICE.


The Mayors Of the several cities in OHIO
lately held meeting, at which they discussed
the policy of licensing houses of lewd resort
and are said to have reached the conclusion
that, though such haunts should not be licensed
they may properly and usefully be regulated
IDdisposed to dOgmatize on subject nVoV-
ing such grave and varied perplexities. we
venture few suggestions, by way OF setting
the problem in clearer and fuller light;
We begin by admitting the TACT that no
LEGISLATION, and no absence of legislation, can
eradicate the evil contemplated. Make hanging
the penalty, and still lewdness would exist,
and those already corrupt would perpetually
and successfully seek to make others as vile
as themselves.
What we who advocate legal repression seek,
is TO admonish and alarm those as yet uncon-
taminated. We would have every youth who
is first tempted TO enter den OF debauchery
made distinctly to understand that SAID den Is
under the ban-that whoever Willingly cutters
its doors is law-breaker, and the associate OF
legal outcasts rs well rs moral lepers. Wo be-
lieye that thousands after thousands are lnred
by already corrupted associates into these
dens who would reCoil in horror from their
door-steps if it were publicly proclaimed ana
generally understood that the keeping OF
haunt of lewdness was n felony, that tho keeper
of such a haunt was liable TO be sent to the
penitentiary, and all her subjects or satellites
were doomed by law TO the pcnitcntary OF
wOrkhOuse.
Thus we would deal with sexual dcpravity
as a social disease treating sternly those who
sought personal gain from others debasement
but more tendery, yet inilexibly as criminals
those who were once betrayed but are now be-
trayers. And we believe one excellent feature
of the law which should be enacted Oh this
subiect would bsthe confiscatOn 20 the State
of the house, furniture, and other belongings,
of every house of lewd resort, This
would not extinguish such haunts, but
it would diycst them of very much
of their meretricious allurements. and deprive
many of their pretext for taking their yerdant
friends TO places where they may see llie.'
We are opposed to what is commended rs
"regulation,r because it would be inevitably in
terprcted by the vile as lending legal sane
ton 10 their horrible orgies. No matter IN
what terms expressed, the regulation would
be regarded N a license, and treated as com
mission 10 pursue their nefarious business I'M
der tho authorization and sanction of the
State. To any regulation" that can be 40
construed. we are in1oxibly hostile.

THE 1LABAN1 CLAIMS.

The great question of our demands upon
England growing out of a war carried on from
her ports in the interests Of Southern Slavery
and her own mercantile supremacy. !, revived
to-day IN o chapter from the StAe Depart
ment 1t Is a long one, but it IS as spirited as
it is important, and upon the whole well worth
attentive reading. Those who have denounced
our high-minded Secretary "a the slave
of Spanish influences, the betrayer Of
American principles, and the destroyer of Cuba,
might read his correspondence with profit
They might then be enabled TO suggest to
themselves why our Government has not in
terpreted the law Of 1918 into a justification of
the premature recognition of the Southern
Confederacy, and why it prefers not to risk
the commission of such acts as might tend TO
destroy the morality of the complaint we have
20 justly, 80 earnestly so feelingly made
against the cOnsummnte wrong inflicted
upon us by England. But apart from any
such consideration as this, Secretary Fish
holds, we doubt not, that the course Of
straightforward duty is in the long run the
best helper of men and nations and that ~
Englands premature and sinister aid only
brought prolonged ruin on the South, SD any
thing less than square dealing with the Cuban
question will only protract the pains of those
whom we desire TO be able to rescue.
Both in his Cuban and English correspond
ence Mr.. Fish has shown a steady ability which
the admirers of serpentne and sangunary
craftsmanship will have occasion to acknowl-
edge No point in the case of our claims has
been omitted by him; and every argu-
l,v Ia
full manner in which he presents it.
While demonstrating that the judgment
of Congress and the people as to the Johnson
Clarendon treaty has been almost unanimous,
he yet takes pains to show, by reference to an
historical precedent, that the rejection of the
treaty by our Senate was rs natural as it was
legal and rightful, and was not to be- re-
garded as a discourtesy. ReOpcning the
general question of the Claims, the Secre-
tary fciterates our right in 1861 To expect "tbe
earnest goodwill, sympathy, and moral sup
"pOrt of Great Britain" Then comes our
standard array of facts, reinforced with ad-
mirable statement and clear logic The de-
termination of the English Government on the
6tl, Of May to recognize the South -four days
prior to the arrival in London of any official
knowledge Of the Presidents proclamation Of
April II, 1851, is Of course dwelt upon gravcly.
1t is by reference to this proclamation that
the Queens proclamation of beligerency has
been defended, but the defense falls to the
ground when it is considered that the purpose
of recognizing the South was expressly de-
clared before it had any proclamation of ours
to justify it. At the time Of recognition there
was no such thing as "a population elevated
" into q force by the prosecution Of war, which.
as Mr. Canning points oE is tho test
"of belhgeTeut condition" There was

Gen Cadwallader Washburne is an excellent
man, and a capital COngressman-sO good, IN
deed, that we are sorry to see him taking to
moonshne. Gen. Washburnes proposition to
put the telegraph lines under Government con-
troll is bad enough; but his declaration that by
doing so he is going to make the cost OF
things in the Rocky Mountains as small as
in the most densey settled parts of Prussia
is going to break up the Associated Press, IS
going to make news cheaper and bring the
telegraph within the reach of the humblest,
seems almost copy from the royal proclama-
ton of Jack Cade. Let us give Gen.
Washburne little hint. Try your
hand at managing the mails decently
before camoring for the telegraph
Abolish the robbery of the Franldng Privilege,
which makes the poor mans postage dear, be-
fore you pine for the more cumbrOus telegraph

the country would dream of trusting YOU with

The Government examination detects de-
ficieney in the cash of the Howard National
Bank of Boston amounting to more than S6O,OOo
The book keeper of that institution states that
the loss occurred about seven years ago; he
supposes, by mistake in settlement with
other banks; and that he has concealed it until
this time in hope of discovering the error.
There is case on record of bank in this
city where the abstraction of large sum had
been covered up by false entries during even
longer period. 1t appears that bookkeeping
may be an exact science of recording
and exhibiting facts, or high art
that cOnceals art, according to circumstances.
Somebody may suggest that the carelessness
that permits crime has flavor of criminality.
and inquire, when defalcations are detected
after such lapse of time, whether only the de-
faulter has lapsed from virtue. And it Is not
perfectly certain, if bank officers in such cases
were indicted as pGrticeps crimiRiS, how their
protestatOns of innocent ignorance might DO

men, and actually clothed themselves out OF
the profits of tho bargain. Finally, the matter
was sent to the Committee on Public Printing!;
and then the Convention took up the question
of how many reams of paper, envelopes, gold
pens, pen-knives, erasers, sticks OF sealing
wax. inkstands, pounce-bOxes, &C., &C., should
be allowed to each member at the cost of the
State. For wonder, the delegates agreed to
interpose at least slight check upon fraud
and waste for it was ordered, whenever one
of them went to the Secretary of State for q
supply, that he should give written receipt
therefor, and that record should be kept OF
the consumption of stationery by each mem
ber-a precaution which may prevent some
prudent persons from laying in a supply for life.

II is odd TO notice that the moment the
members of a Legislature, Congress or legally
authorized Convention get together they begin
to consider what perquisites they shall vote to
allow themselves ut the expense of their con-
stitucnts. For example, one of the first pc
culiarties which developed itself in the Illinois
Constitutional Convention, now in session, was
of newspapers and for sending the bills there
for to the Treasury for payment. Some men,
bes wanted sixty newspapers some thought
they might be content with thirty; while Mr..
Turner made dreadful exposures, and said that
members Of the Legislature, to his knowledge,
instead of receiving and reading the newspa-
pers allowed them. committed with tho news

Let Miss Anthony rejoice and be glad.
Wyoming has a greater, following close be-
hind. Now comes the State Of Iowa, wherein
Miss Julia G. Addington has been duly elected,
by the free suffrages of her male admirers q
Superintendent of Common Schools. With the
natural mOdesty of her sex, she hesitated to
take so responsible a position without entire
satisfaction as to the lawful right to do so /;
and so she asked the advice of Mr.. Attorney
General 0'Connor. That gentleman replies, in
explaining the restriction supposed to be con-
veyed in the term male" that recent
decision in the Court of Exchequer, England,
"hoding that the generic term man includes
woman also, indicates our progress from n
"crude barbarianism to a better civilization
Thereupon, after much circumlocutiOn, the
gallant Attorney General concludes: 81 need
scarcely add that in my opinion, Miss
"Addington is entitled to the Office to which
"she has been elected"
