in New Hampshire yesterday as decidedly Ia
yorable, showing that they "had done wen III

always, to avoid overshootng the mark III our
estimates of our victories, we yesterday gave
our majority as at least $500 On the au-
thority of an Associated Press dispatch from
Concord, footing up the returns from l4l towns
at 1884 for Steans, and 2S,OS6 for bede,
we are now warranted in claiming at least
4,5OO Republican majority, against S'o@a a

omen for an opening Administration ana

AItboucb Mr. Stewart retires from the Treasury

Although Mr.. Stewart retires from the Treasury
under a combination of circumstances which seem
to make that step unavoidable, his retirement Is
marked by one of those acts of munihcence
which seem to he characteristic OF American
citizens Here is man who offers to give
princely fortune for the opportunity OF serving
his country. "You seem to think l am
Fitted for the Treasury, and that my expert
"ence in private affairs will enable mo to serve
'"you in public affairs. Well, for that honor
"will give to any charity that may be named
"six millions of dollars, and retire from the en-
"ioyment of the largest income now received 10y

the offer made by Mr. Stewart to Gen. Grant
and through him TO the people of the
United States. The only parallel that we now
recall is the liberaity of our fellow-cltlzen MI
Peabody. A Republic has many elements OF
public virtue and glory when its citizens snow
This spirit of self-abnegation. The motives OF

the country because of his resignation and tho

The Tax Commissioners bill reported to the
Senate proposes to substitute for the present
Tax Commission one to be appointed by Mr.
Controller Connolly. This is substantially the
same bill passed by the last Legislature and
vetoed by Gov. FentOn. We do not see how
a Republican Legislature should be asked to
make change which can have no other effect,
and probably has no object, but to turn capa-
BILE and experienced Republicans out Of Office
and put Democrats into their places
But this bill increases both the number
and the compensation Of officers, and thus
adds needlessly to the burdens Of this tax
ridden City. We hear no complaint of the in.
tegrity, the fairness, or the efficiency of our
present Tax Commission, and we submit that
New-York is not now too well governed to
justify changes for the worse If Republican
legislators shall vote to increase the cost of our
City Government, and this for the benefit
of their political adversaries, their constituents
will want to know why.

of marble, or who own quarries not now

of Agriculture, Washington, D. c. The ex-
press charges upon such specimens will be paid

other item of interest concerning it, such as
the extent of the deposit, when discovered, if

Our Legislature is familiar with the various
plans proposed for steam communication in this

grant no monopoly, but to grant every charter

the cities be as free as tho other parts of the

"LET NOT THE SUN GO DOWN
UPON THY WRATH"
BY ELIZA COOK

"Father, forgive u.s." is our daily prayer,
When the worn spirit feels its helpless
dearth;
Yet, in our lowly greatness, do we dare
10 seek from Heaven what we refuse on
earth; .-
Too often will the bosom, sternIy proud,
Bear shafts of vengeance on its grave
ward path;
Deaf to the teachings that has cried aloud.
'fLet not the sun go down upon your
wrath
We ask for mercy from the Throne above,
In morning worship and in vesper song;
And let us kindly shed the balm of love,
To heal and soothe brothers deed of
wrong.
If ye would crush the bitter thoins OF
strife, -.
And strew the bloom of peace around
your path;
If ye would drink the sweete streams Of
life .
"Let not the sun go down upon your
wrath"
Were this remembered, when human lot
Would find more blessings in our home
below,
The chequered world would lose Its darkest
blot,
And mortal record tell much less of woe.
The sacred oounsels of the wise impart
No holier words in all that language
bath;
For light divine is kindled where the hear t
Lets not the sun go down upon its wrath.
