CESARISM IND CARLYLEISM

There is disease which often attacks highly
educated Americans at about the age of thirty
and which sometimes clngs TO them for the
rest of their lives. They wake up some morn
ing with the conviction that universal suffrage
is failure and that only themselves and
two or three of their intimate friends are tit
to govern the world. They announce with
dsmay that America is vulgarizing not only
itself but probably the whole solar system
In some cases, where the habits and traditions
of the patients are English, the disease finds
vent in growing, and may be called Carlyleism
Other victims belong to the class OF good
Americans who have seen Paris before they
died, and have ceased 20 be good Americans
thencefOrward. Their type Of the disease Is
more malignant and may be called C@sarism.
And this disease Of reaction is not confined
10 stock brokers and statesmen out of Office; 1t
is just as virulent among the more recllse ORDERS
as college professors, poets, and women. PrOl'
Lowell, who twenty years ago wrote such me
sentiments about poor mems sons and rich
mems Sons, now grows "A indignant as Black
woOds Magazine against ga system which
gives league because he can dig, IA much
influence az Ralph because he can think"
The WOman's Suffrage movement Is perplexed
with allies like Mrs. Ingersoll of Washington,
who is opposed to allowing any woman to vote
who is not, like herself taxed upon small
property, and IL not qualified, like herself. 10

THE WRONGS OF ERIE.

The Sun lends itself more openly and shame
lessly to the six-hOTse plunderers than we had
supposed it possible for any journal to do. 1t
says:
"Mr Greeley engages in an effort to
from the present Directors the Erie Company viola
ton of the law He asks them 10 reconsider and reverse
the vote by which they classified themselves under tho
Classification aOt Of 1869. This is something beyond
their power The law provides that whenever the stock
holders of any railroad company shall accept that act
IL becomes hencefOrh the nvariabe rule OF the com
Dany The Erie stockholders. at the most numerous
meeting they ever held, voted to accept the act and
their vote cannot he nufed. The Directors no longer
have any power the subject they cannot set aside
the law and any election of Directors held in neglect OF
its provisions simply election at all Our former
abatement that no new Board elected by the Erie stock
holders can be organized except under the Classification
act ID perfectly correct"
Comments by The Tribune.
What THE TRIBUNE asks is that The oCrerS
of the Erie Railroad shall SOMEHOW be empo,c-
cred TO resume the control Of their property #
then think proper TO do so. That is our de-
mand, and the whole of it. If a majority in in
terest of the owners of that Road want it man
aged longer by Tweed, Fisk, Gould g. Co., it
will be very easy for them to vote accordingly.
IF they prefer q different management, ought
not their wish to prevail Who is opposing
"Erie9"
But The Sun says that execrable Direct
Ors' Classification act was so framed that
a company which accepts it can never moro
reverse that acceptance-t has run into
trap whence there is no egress or escape!
All the stockholders might wish to return to
their own charter but they could not do it!
Then let Tceed Fisk and Co. resign, to take
effect after the approaching election. Let them
give notice that they do so expressly to take
the sense of the stockholders, and will all be
candidates for reelection. If they do not kn0U
that they are misusing other folks property
in defiance of the owners wishes, why should
they hesitate 7
Let them resign, open the books for trans
fers, so that the present stockholders may
vote, and call upon every one to express his
opinion by his vote. And, if they choose to
have poll also upon anything said OF done
by Mr.. j. C. Bancroft Davis, we go in for that.
VIII Tweed, Fisk g. Co. allow their stock
holders fair chance at them 7 Yea or Nay

4 VERY LUPERTTNENT NOTE.

To the EditOr Of The Tribune.
SIR: What is your idea of the population OF
this city, II Brooklyn has 10000 inhabitants how
many ought New-York City 20 c0ntain As person 81
some common sense ask you simple question. and re
quest you 10 answer the through the columns OF
your TRIBUNE without any rerbOse coLorng Can II DO
possible that this city does contain nhabant
by at least twothirds than sister ctyi You haVo
some reason left, trust; therefore please answer.
A READER.
Ansrey.-1. Brooklyn has not 100000 inhab-
itants, but somewhere between 100000 ana
10000.
2. We do not know what is the population
of this City, but shdH know, as nearly as pos
sibe, when Gen. Sharpe shall have completed
its Census. This is no matter for gueSS"ork'
but for actual enumeration.
3. If we were to guess in the premises, We
should put the population Of this City at
rather more than twice that of Brooklyn. At
noon, the disparity is much greater, but man
is counted where he usually sleeps. Brooklyn
has 1--WE judge the larger area, but portion
of our City is more cOmpactly peOpled, while
we have far more buildings without Inhabitants
than Brooklyn.

CEN WOODFORDS SERVICES.

The World infers that Gen. WOOdfOrds ser
vices in our late War were insignificant be-
cause his name does not figure in Mr.. Gree
ley's American Conflict while Gen. Slocum's
does The reason is not far to seek Gen.
Socum was educated at West Point; Gen.
Woodford was not. Gen. SlOcum entered the
service in 1861 as a colonel, and was at once
adopted into that inner circle or ring whereof
Mcclellan was the focus, and so became a
Major General before he had done anything to
warrant his promotions but We were then in
great want of general officers, and had to
use such material as there was. And
Gen. SlOcum made respectable officer
though he was not zone of the four great
Generals of the War; MS The World used to
proclaim him. He learned to be honest and
faithful in the Republican ranks; and, though
the Mcclellan ring turned his head and made
him turn his coat, he is an honest man and
pretty good fellow even yet. Gen. Wood
ford entered the service at a later day, on
lower plane, and under far less favOring aus
pices He rose to be colonel of regiment
and latter its evacuation by tho Rebels mill
tary commandment at Charleston, 5. C., the
cradle of the Rebellion. He did all the work
required of him-did it cOnscientiously and
efficiently-and having been "faithful in few
&" things" is about to be made ruler over
many" We trust The World will 10 pre-
pared TO accept the situation.

The failures of Delmar and Wells should
not prejudice such Bureau. Delmar would
fail anywhere; and Wells undertook to lecture
where he should have been content to collect
and compile. Take one instance OF his fair
ness and candor He is confronted by the
awkward fact that the Savings Banks of Mas
sachusetts had a large increase of deposits be-
tween 1860 and 1867, whereas he wanted to
prove that the Laboring Glass were less fairly
recOmpensed under Protection than they had
been under Free Trade What is he to do 7
Why he tells us that the currency is so depreci-
ated in 1878 that the Ninety Millions in the
Savings Banks in 1867 are not equal to the
Seventy-five Millions that were there i'll 1860
Very well: The premium on Gold had fallen,
next year, from 40 (Or thereabouD to 10; and
now, according to his logic, the depOsitors in
the Savings Banks were Twenty Millions
richer than they had been the year before !;
but this did MT appear in Mr.. Weiss Report
We instance this only to show that the head
of our Bureau of Statistics should not be al
lowed to compile annually partisan missile
or manifesto, but required to cOnfine himself
strictly TO compilation of essential facts.

We have received very indefinite rumors
OF the escape of fragment of Ba-
zdne's army from Metz, which, though we
publish, we do not fully credit. They con-
fict with more positive advices to the 18th
inst, which represent the German army about
Metz as having drawn close around the
fortress, evidently with the design of investing
and reducing it, The escape of Canrobert, as
rumored, while not an impOssibility, is very
improbable. If he should by strategy and
cunning get away from Prince Frederick
Charles, it would only be to encounter the
Crown Prince elsewhere.

Mayor Hall proposes public funeral in honor
of the memory of Admiral Fanagut when the
remains of the brave old hero are removed to
New-York. We dread the extravaganza and
bad taste of public funerals, and have especial
reason to dread obituary junketings conducted
under the auspices of the Corporation OF New
York. 1t would be a melancholy satisfaction
20 all loyal Americans to be enabled to lay
the remains of their great commander to rest
with somewhat more of national and of1clal
respect than was shown during the ceremonies
at Portsmouth; but from the contemplated
ceremonies in New-York we anticipate moth
ing but Corporation holiday with the usual
,uOrtuary revels.

The Republicans of the Vth District of New
Jersey have done wisely in nominating GEORGE
A. HALsEY for Congress. Mr.. Halsey is an ae-
tive, energetic, intelligent business man, in tho
prime of life, who has had some experience in
public affairs and who thoroughly believes in
republican principles. After having served
two terms in the New-Jersey Legislature be
was appointed by President Lincoln, in 1862.
Assessor of Internal Revenue for the Newark
(Vth) District, in which position he acquired q
reputation as one of the very best officers in
the service Indeed, so faithful and
efficient was he in the discharge of his
official duties as to meet the disap-
probation of Andrew johnson, who re-
moved him from Office whereupon, in 1866,
the people elected him TO represent the Dis
trct in Congress. In the House of Represent
atives he was an intelligent, active, efficient
member, giving his attention to the practical
affairs of legislation rather than to buncOmbs
experimenting. If any man can redeem the
District, Mr.. Halsey is that man. The leading
Republicans there say they can elect him. Let
them leave no proper effort untTied to secure
that result. The Republican Congressional
nominations for New-Jersey are now complete.
as follows:
First District-JOHN w. HAZEToN.
Second District-WuIIAM A. NEWELL.
Third Distict-RoBERT RUSHING.
Fourth District-jOHN HILL.

Victor Emanuel of Italy seems to have gone
80 war with the Pope for very nearly the same
reason that impelled Napoleon to quarrel with
King William-that is to keep his throne. He
says in letter TO the Pope that any
longer delay on bis part to occupy the
Papa States would have been followed by the
proclamation of the Italian Republic. This
compulsory action, for which the Italian King
apologies, is last resort, which will not save
his Kingdom. Republicanism in Italy, as in
France and everywhere is progressive, and in
che end will prove irresistible.

Mr.. James b. Pearsall has for two years
represented the first district of Queens County
in the Assembly of our State, where he reso-
lutely set his face against every corrupt job
and swindling contrvance. Though Demo-

licensed Liquor Traffic Sectarian Schools,
the Tweed Charter, and the infamous Erie d.

The little news which is sent us of the Prus-
eian movements about Paris is significant.
The several points mentioned in our dis
patches as occupied by the Germans are,
with hardly an exception, railway stations,
thus indicating the purpose of the besiegers
20 sever without delay the communications
of the French capital. We have no details of
movements west of the city, nor of the extern
sion of the lines beyond Creil on the north,
and Corbeil on the south; but it is very prob
able that such operations have already been

A New York correspondent says that on
Tuesday communication was handed to
Marshal Sharpe, who has charge of taking
the census in that city, purporting to have
been signed by Christian Zigler, Paul Witt
and J. Dressed, all of East Nineteenth-st.,
complaining that their names had not been
taken by the Enumeration. The census roll
was at once examined, and their names
were all found upon it. A subsequent ex-
animation revealed the fact that these men
knew nothing of the matter. When shown
the communication they at once declared
the signatures to it were forgeries. Other
letters of similar character have proved
false. 1t only goes to prove that Tammany
is reduced to terrible straits to maintain
the power of repeating, when it can stoop
to forgery to make it seem that the census
has been incorrectly taken. The Marshal
challenges the Mayor of New York. who
denies the accuracy Of the census, to make
a test count in the tenth district of the Sixth
Ward, where the census says there are $40
inhabitants. although 767 votes were polled
at the last election.

Just how long Northern man must re-
side in the South before losing the unen-
viable notoriety of beinga 'carpet Dagger
has not, it seems, been definitely settled.
In the I'd Congressional district of Tonnes
see the Democrats have recently put in
nomination ia opposition to Hon. Horace
Maynard, present Representative to Con-
gress from that district, a gentleman bear
ing the euphonious name of Blizzard, who.
in speech accepting the nomination, had
the bsd taste tc say that it was time the I'd
district was represented in Congress by
native Tennessean. The Knoxville Chron-
icle thinks this is carrying the carpct-bag
question pretty tar. considering the fact
that Mr.. Maynard has been bona fide
resident of the State for nearly forty years.
