WISHING TON and ALBANY MORALS.

WISHING ION AND ALBANI MOhALo.
When Mr.. James Wood was accused of hav-
ing sold his votes in the Senate of New-YOrk
to VIM. NJ. Tweed, he very promptly denied
the charge. Perhaps we ought to say, in the
language of the Grant organs, that his
"prompt and indignant denial squelched the
slander.n Butt didn't. The difficulties In
the way Of proving Mr.. Woods guilt were
enormous and when Mr.. Tweed came to tes-
tify, he of course showed the Senator to be
one of the most innocent and unworldly of
upright Legislators. Yet the evidence was suf-
ficient to extort an adverse report and a vote
of censure; /; and to-day no man in New-York
has any moro moral doubt about Mr.. Woods
acts and character than he has about Mr..
Tweed's.
When Mr.. James Terwiliger was accused
of having wrongfully profted by the
official patronage at his disposal, he was
equally prompt and emphatic in deny
ing the charge. Perhaps we ought
again to say, in the language of
the Grant organs, that his explicit de-
:" "nial squelched the SANDER But somehow
again it did MT. In the face of all sorts of
conspiracies to conceal it, the truth
was at last dragged out. The men
that bought him were the most
Jealous in declaring that there was nothing
whatever wrong in his conduct but in this
case that sort of testimony did not avail, and
to-day Mr.. Terwilliger is in consequence
ruined man.
Why should it avail any more in Washing
ton than at Albany7 Mr.. Henry Wilson, Mr..
Jas. G. Blaine, Mr.. Glenni w. Scofeld are ac-
cused of taking bribes on account of the
Credit MObiier, from Mr.. Oakes Ames.
Each denies it, as promptly as did Wood or
Terwilliger. Mr.. Oakes Ames indorses the
denial as emphatically as did Mr.. VIM. NJ.
Tweed, or the printing firm of Weed,
Parsons g. Co. We cOnscientiOusly be-
lieve the denial to be as worthless
in the one case as in the other; and we know
that Mr.. 0akes Ames has quite as much
interest in backing up the one denial as had
Mr.. VIM. NJ. Tweed in backing up the other.
Mr.. James Wood, it will be remembered,
was not bought outright by Tweed, like old
brass or strings of onions. On the contrary,
he only borrowed money of Tweed with
out security, and never paid it back.
Mr.. James Terwilliger was not bought
outright by Weed. Parsons e. Co. He was
only paid twenty per cent of the entire cost
of the printing for reading the proof of it.
Inexact people spoke of them as purchased
commodities; but they were able to
deny the charge In the most sweeping
and comprehensive terms the dictionary
could furnish. Just so, inexact people have
doubtless made a mistake in speaking of
Wilson, Blaine, ScOfeld as the chattel property
OF MIR. Oakes Ames. 1t will probably turn ont |
that their business was arranged oujte as

PROGRESS IN EGYPT

The Vice Roy of Egypt appears to have
accomplished one important result by his re-
cent journey to COnstantinOple. He has gained
it is said, the assent of the Sultan to the
establishment in Egypt of his Civil Code, by
means of which the Kingdom will hereafter be
governed by law instead of Consular and Vice
Regal caprice, as heretofore. In most Oriental
countries this Consular jurisdiction has much
in its favor Where there is no law or settled
society, where the rulers are corrupt or
ignorant. the power given to COnsuls to judge
their own citizens is necessary and advan-
tageous. 1t is sometimes liable to abuse, but,
on the whole, the Western nations are in the
habit of sending representatives better quail
fed to dispense justice than the SER
wants of the arbitrary authorities in
whose dominions they are established.
But no such justification of this exceptional
jurisdiction exists in Egypt. The present
Khedive is as enlightened and just ruler as
any sovereign of Europe, far in advance of
most of them in energy, industry, and fore
sight. He is surrounded by competent
ministers, one of whom, Nubar Pasha, is one
of the most accomplished of living diplO-
matists and statesmen. The Government of
the Vice Roy is fully able and disposed to
.maintain order and TO see justice done among
individuals. Yet up to the present time on
account of the jealousy of the Ottoman Porte,
it has been impossible for this enlightened
Prince to establish in his wide dominions any
settled rule of law. For his own sub
jects there has been merely the Koran
and the caprice Of authority. For
the foreigners who form 80 important
a portion of the trading and manufacturing
classes there has been the irresponsible and
often incompetent and reckless jurisdiction of
the Consuls. An illustration of the effects of
this divided authority was seen in the case of
StrOlogo, servant of our Consul General
Butler. whO having attacked and beaten mis-

correctly and beautifully as Tweed arranged
Woods, or Weed, Parsons & Co., arranged
TerwiIligcr's. 1t was easy TO g carry stock
for them, as brokers do in Wall-st., to pay
them the dividends, sell for the rise when the
enormous profits had accrued, and hand over
the profits on the sale. All this Mr. Ames
would call legitimate business transaction.
And so, to be sure, it was-just as legitimate
as paying Terwiliger twenty per cent on the
whole cost of job of printing for pretending
to lead the proof of it.
One word more. The only possible safety
of these men is in the retention of the pres
ent regime. Break the Grant majority in the
House of Representatives; and there are at
least FIVE present members who will no more
dare to 60 back there than VIM. NJ. Tweed
dared last Winter, to go back to Albany.

full houses for one hundred nights. OF course. no
born dweller in Manhattan will admit that an En-
glish congregation is to be compared to Yankee
one, but if Mr. Yatess lecture is not well attended
and well received, it will prove that our cousins
know good thing when they see it better than we

the pictures by which it is illustrated cartoons by

For over year the people of San Francisco
have been profoundly agitated with the dis
cussiOn of a variety of railroad projects.
When the Central Pacific Railroad Company
seemed likely to secure the possession of one
of the islands in San Francisco Bay as q ter
minus, mass meetings were held to project
measures to build an opposition road across
the continent. Dispatches show that the city
government have been voting on several rival
schemes granting subsidies to different COM
panies. The latest dispatch says that charges
of bribery have been preferred against the
Supervisors, it being alleged that they were
paid 100000 to pass an order submitting a
subsidy scheme to a popular vote. This is
pretty serious business for our San Francisco
friends but it must have been observed that
all the dispatches in relation to this whole
turmoil are so partisan that they have be-
come Enthusiastically. There is evidently an
other side to this last story.

Although fortnight has passed since the
meeting of EmperOrs at Berlin, we are with
out any positive information respecting the
purposes of the sOvereigns or the result OF
their deliberations. Now we are informed by
Berlin journal which is well-known to be an
organ of Prince Bismarck, that the conference
will prove to be the most conclusive and
fruitful in benefcent results which has ever
been held in Europe. The mystery whlchGs
observed is calculated to lead to the impress
sion that no important resolutions were
adopted; that, in fact, the whole matter was
brilliant masquerade, in which each of the
sovereigns consented to act a part without
having any serious design at heart.
