Is it possible that the Foley Injunction was
granted by Judge Barnard as a whole only
that it might be dissolved in detailH There
have been several notifications Of it, which
were, perhaps, proper enough. All the people
ask is that there shall be the proper restraint
against paying out money without scrutinizing
bills, and the presence of an honest man In
the Controllers Office suffices to secure this.
But when it is seriously proposed to allow
Tweed, as the head of the Department OF
Public Works, to go ON in the extravagant
construction of works whose necessity is not
apparent and is disputed by eminent engineers,
it becomes a matter Of moment and OF money
to know how far these notifications are to be
extended. We possibly need new reservoir
of Croton in Putnam County, but there is a
greater necessity in the present state of the
public Treasury and funds that we shall be
assured of judicious expenditure and prompt
construction of the same. And nobody be-
lieVes that Mr.. Tweed will complete the work
as long as any money can be drawn from the
Treasury to pay for it, or as long as his friends
can be kept employed upon it.

We must now reckon the undergraduates OF Am
horst College among the ungalant opponents OF the
admission of women to collegiate opportunities.
Nearly all the students there think that the presence
of female students would lead to an increase OF bur-
densome laws and regulations; that the fair ones
would entice men from study; and that their ma
circulation would lower the standard Of the College
course All this simply amounts to an assertion that
the innovation would be an experiment; but this
ia certain to be tested somewhere we think that it
should have fair trial In some old, well endowed
and thoroughly respectable College

writer In The Toronto telegraph suggests rs prevent

Governments, whenever the hygrometric condition
of the atmosphere becomes or is about to become,
source Of probable extensive danger-the authort-
ties thereupon to enforce, ct whatever may be the
necessary cost, such extra precautions as experience
has Indicated" The suggestion b good one, and
although as the writer points out, 1t might be diff
cult to prevent the vast fires that sweep prairie and
forest there could surely be no difficulty in adopt
ing such precautions In city like Chicago.

Mr.. Theodore Tilton's Extraordinary biography Of
the fair lady who sits at night upon the ridge pole
Of her stately mansion" communing with ghosts,
is attracting on the other side Of the Atlantic the
notice which it richly merits. Il Is in
deed Q matter Of no sIght moment to the
world that Demosthenes, after Q silence Of about
1900 years, is speaking once moro TO mankind,
even though 1t be through the medium Of womans
lips and newspaper and we are not surprised that
Tls London Daily News should devote to the Tlton-
Woodruff alliance and Its curious fruit most inter-
esting leader from the pen Of one Of its editorial
contributors well known lin New-York literary go
cety. Judicious persons will be panied to observe
In the article slght ubAavor Of incFedulity, not
to say sarcasm; but Il Mrs. Woodhulrs utterances
betray no internal evidence Of the inspiration Of
Demosthenes 1t should be remembered that the elo-
quent tongue Of the Grecian orator has probably
grown rusty after twenty-five centuries disuse.

Wearied Of his long vigil by the side Of the
Hornet, the Spaniard has hauled down his flag
at Port-au-Prince and departed. The history
of this case is a curious one. The Hornet,
which cleared from Newly for Aspinwal,
with arms, landed her cargo on Che coast of
Cuba, returned to Nassau, where she was
warned of, and then sought refuge in The
neutral harbor of Port-au-Prince, where one
two Spanish vessels have exercised
surveillance over her ever since,
threatening to capture her whenever
she attempted to leave. The Hornet few the
American flag, and Capt. Hudson, who had pre-
viously gained some fame by crossing the At
lantic in the little ship Red, White, and Blue
claimed and obtained the protection of the U.
s. frigate Tennessee, when the Santo DOmin-
go expedition was at Port-au-Prince last
March. The papers of the Hornet were regu-
lar, and there was no reason why the Spaniard
should claim her as prize except on common
report; no legal proceedings were sought to
be commenced against her; and now, after an
Intellectual demand for her from the Haytian
Government by the Consul at Port-au-P Prince,
the exasperated spaniard has left in high
dudgeOn.

The large capture of members Of the Ku-
Klux which has been made in one of the
South Carolina counties in which the writ of
habeaS corpus was lately suspended, will show
the Tpfians theresbouts that the Government

There have been sufficient delay and warning
before resorting to this undesirable means

Upon tho abolition Of what Mayor Hall terms the
old Board of Supervisors, the officials thereof were
continued In office ct an expense Of many Thousands
of dollars per annum for which there La not the least
necessity. The Common Council are already fur
nished with an army Of clerks, assistant clerks,
deputy clerks, assistant deputy clerks and % on.
until one knows not which feeling Is uppermost, be-
wilderment at the ingenuity which has invented 50
many honorable titles, or admiration Of the liberal
ity which provides for so many impoverished gentle
men, not one-quarter Of whom are ever expected to
perform any duty. Mr.. E. A. Woodward, whose
baronial magnihcence astonishes the rural popula-
tion of Connecticut holds one Of these sinecures,
and his resignation would be as little felt by him a.
it would be regretted by the public.

The Man of Sedan has unbOsomed himself
to a newspaper reporter. Napoleon considers
that the present Government of France is
weak and inadequate to the wants Of the
country. OF course the natural inference is
that he believes only imperialism strong
enough for France; but, though people have
various opinions respecting the weakness of
NJ. Thiers's government, it must be admitted
that it is paying off the debt incurred by an
imperial war quite creditably.

.THs Utica Observer upholds the disfranehise-
ment of the manned veterans In the y. 8. Mill
tary Asylum, near Dayton, Ohio, by saying that
"Ths ground on which tho Dayton AsylIm stands was
coded TO the United States by the State of Ohio 1t
naad absolutely under the control OF tho General Gov
ernment and the State lost all jurisdiction over It. Ihe
inmates Of the Military Asylum were subjected 70 req

years ago. the question arose - to their gnt ." oo
The Supreme Court Of Ohio, whereof majority Oh tno
Judges were and Republicans, decided Without
dissenting voice. that these inmates were no' enoo "

"Does THE TRIBUNE deny these facts"
Ansper.-THE TRIBUNE denies that what
The Observer pronouncesI" facts" are sufficient,
even if they uere facts, to disfranchise our
crippled veterans. If they were, all residents
on Governors Island "a U. 8. military post)
and all who lodge In any post-ofice or court
house whereof the site has been ceded by the
State to the Union, would be denied the Right
of Suffrage: yet these vote every year, and
have a right to vote.
Tho Observer conceals the "factn that there
would have been no case whereon the Su-
preme Court of Ohio could have adjudicated
in the premises hada not the Democrats OF
Montgomery County resisted the claim Of those
who had lost their limbs for the Union to
vote. But for that resistance, they would have
voted of course. And we can't believe the
party that wants the veterans disfranchised
f1t to govern the country. The Court was
misled by false analogies, and an imperfect
presentment of the facts. We believe it ready
to retract its error; at all events, We know that
the veterans ought to vote.

Fire CnnnnanieS.

The various Fire Companies of our city are
deserving of much credit and the warm thanks
Of every citizen and property holder of our
place. Many of them have neither house nor
hcme they can call their own, yet when the fire
fend is Embossed, they rush to the rescue en-
masse, and tire not until, by their efforts, the
flames are under control and the city in safety
No one can fail to see, who has been connected
with Fountain Fire Company No. l, the poor
condition in which its members are placed to
render them efficient. The room in which the
engine is now placed is entirely too small-it is
a bleak, dreary place; no stove nor heating APP
paratus within its walls. When the engine
must be cleaned after fire or practice the en-
gineer is compelled to work without fire, in a
cold room for hours. The room being entirely
too small, much more time is consumed than
would otherwise be necessary to do the work
Let the authorities look to this matter and
extend a helping hand IN order to avert a repe-
titon of the terrible Chicago disaster Protect
the Fire Companies, We city guardians! Help
them; care for them; look to their comfort
that they may help you. EX-FIREMAN.

Near the Knoxville and Charleston railroad
bridge resides an unfortunate woman, who,
through domestic troubles, IS almost entirely
bereft of reason, and if anything occurs to dis
turb her tranquility acts in an outrageous man
ner, or would be considered so in persons pos
sessed of their right mind. On Friday night
she beat one of her children in cruel manner,
but was forced to desist by the guard at the
bridge, who, hearing the blows, ran down for
moment, not knowing but she was in danger
of being killed.
Shortly after the insane woman took her bed
into the street, in the darkness and rain to sun
it, she said, and laid there till morning, when
she again beat her child as severely as before
and left the house. She should be looked after
by the authorities and sent to the asy lum. We
understand that her vagaries are often more
violent than this and that she frequently cor
reefs other children than her own.

above, was taken charge of by her brother, and
