"A man in Syracuse, says an exchange,
finds himself under the necessity of writing q
long letter to newspaper in favor of kissing
at church sociables. We have never taken
sides in this discussion of this interesting and
important subject, but we are inclined to think
that if it became clearly apparent that the
cause of public morality would be materially
adanced and the efficiency of the ecclesiastical
system largely increased by the introduction of
this invigorating exercise at sociables, we
would readily sacrifice whatever personal feel
ing we have in the matter and favor it, provi-
ded this office is permitted to have represen-
tative present to form an opinion of the mate
rial operation of the system.

End Of the Tragedy in New York-Opea-
ing of tho Drama.
The losing scenes of the Fisk tragedy
among us have taken place and New York
will know the Erie Prince no more. Yester-
day morning, at half-past eleven o'clock, the
gorgeous rosewood coffin, with gold-plated
handles, containing the mortal remains
of James Fisk, were brought through
surging crowd to lie in state
at the Erie Office for an hour OF
two. Prayers we're said over the body, decked
out in coloneps uniform, by the same chap
lain who prayed beside the living Fisk when
Boston forced him and his regiment to be
pious In theatre or go without spiritual con-
ISOLATION for a whole Sabbath The crowd
surged In and walked past the bier on which the
dead man lay, and at a quarter to two the coffin
was carried into the hearse. Then the fu-
neral procession formed, Ninth regiment band
at the head, Erie employees following, and the
Ninth regiment looking sad and depressed. for
all it's 6nery; then the hearse, with the late
Colonel's charger in the rear then the long
line of carriages. At three o'clock the
gorgeous coffin was being ratified away
to Brattleboro, among the Green Mountains.
and at this hour precisely the drama which 10
to be acted gravely in the Courts opened BY
Edward S. Stokes being brought from his cell
in the Tombs to the Coroner's inquest held In
the Court of Special Sessions. Six witnesses
were examined in three hours and the In
quest was adjourned, with evidence
which will be of importance on the
trial. The prisoner seemed cool, and
Frightened with the evidence that proved
he discharged the hackman at the corner Of
Fourth street and Broadway. The hackmau
thought he looked ''put out" then. Stokes
was taken back to his cell, and the curtain
went down for a few hours on the drama.

the Senate committee that he has confined his
selection to such persons The chairman u
no doubt gentleman of integrity, and, as for
the matter of that, may be all his associates;
yet he is warm friend of the present Eric
Railroad management, and is probably in
debted to their influence for his election. or

Railroad Committee one IL the sou .
railroad superintendent and himself
paymaster on the same line; the
other is the proprietor of the draw
ng room and sleeping cars on the Central aud
Hudson River railroads and owes to them bis
fortune; third is railroad director. We
know nothing and care nothing about the
personal character of these Senator's; but We
insist that from their associations sympathies
and ideas they are not the proper persons to
hold control of railroad committee ia tho
State Legislature at a time when an issue has
been made between the people and certain
railroad management, while the interests OF
the two are in conflict, and al time when
measures of reformatory character are do
manded by the public voice.
natural anxiety to the Assembly The Speaker
of the latter body stands In position different
from that occupied by Senator Woodin. He has
been elected on the openly professed issue Of
honesty against corruptlon-of the people
against the lobby and the rings. One of bis
most prominent supporters did not finch from
charging unfaithfulness to the reform move
ment upon Speaker Smiths opponent, Assem-
blyman Alvord, at least by implication, and
claimed support for his own candidate as q
determined enemy of the corruptionists. In
his address to the House upon assuming the
duties of the chair, the Speaker announced
himself emphatically reformer, and evinced
his desire to carry out his principles to Q
practical result by initiating necessary re-
formation in the employees Of the body over
which he presides. We expect to see him
strictly confine his appointments to five clerks
and to Eve doorkeepers, and to rule out OF
order any resolution that may seek to increase
their number In contraveution of law But
this Is but small item of reform in COM
parison with the selection of the leading
committees of the House, to whose hands
must be confded the shaping and, in great
degree, the control of the business of 1egsla-
ton. As an experienced member Of the
State Legislature he knows the overshadowing
Importance of these positions and the Q forts
that are made by approachable members to
obtain them. If he desires to be true to his
pledges and to enjoy the confidence Of the
people he is bound to exclude from such COM
mittees as Cities, Railroads and Canals every
name that is in the slightest degree furnished
by the breath of suspicion. His appointments
will be closely scrutinized and we call upon
him in advance to be careful that they are
such as to defy criticism.

War In tho Easf-An English Expedite,
Against the LOOshtans.

War In tho Easf-Aa English Expedition
Against the Looshians.
The British troops are once again upon the
war track in the East. This time they are
moving against the Looshans, who have
recently been making disturbances and COM
hitting outrages on the northeastern frontier
of British India. The primary motive for the
sending Of the expedition against the Looshians,
as we are informed by the HERALD corre-
spondent in Bombay, whose letter we publish
on another page, is that about a year ago the
Looshians made a descent on q number of
English settlers, and after committing gross
barbarities and adding even murder to
their other crimes, they also carried off a
young English lady, Miss Winchester, with
them as hostage. 1t is stated, however, that
these people were driven to desperation by
the manner in which they were imposed
upon and treated by the planters and others.
They possessed q tract of land which had
been given them by the Indian government,
and on this they were inclined to live peace
fully, until the intrigues and impositlons of
the planters goaded them on to the perpetra-
ton of the barbarities enumerated. A year
has passed over since then, and now British
expedition Of ten thousand men has set out to
rescue the hostage and administer punishment
to this uncivilzed people. From what we
learn from the tone Of our correspondence
letter the undertaking is one full Of peril and
beset with dangers. 1t shows, however, the
disposition Of England to protect Its citizens,
at no matter what cost. 1t might have been
better had the movement been made at an
earlier day; 1t now seems tardy justice, even
though 1t should reach the full measure 81
success.

TIE HORNET is no longer watched by
Spanish war vessels. The latter have taken
their departure for Cuba in view of the. ex-
pected arrival at st. Thomas of the United
States frigate Congress with the mission to
escort the Hornet on her homeward voyage.
Spain has thus taken the first step to avoid an
armed collision with the United States. The
steamer Virginia, at Aspinwal, is also to be
left uudsturbed by the Spanish war vessel
Pizarro, which had been watching her. Such
Is the tenor of our despatch from Havana,

UTAH AS A STATE-THE Foolish HOPE OF
THE MoRMoNs. Utah Delegate in Con-
gross, Hooper, is either very stupid or
designs to humbug his Mormon constituents by
asserting that the Territory would be admitted
as q State within ninety days. 1t is certain
Congress will not admit Utah as State until
Mormonism or polygamy is killed OF beyond
recovery, and 1t is not likely this can be
accomplished in ninety days or in year. 1t
would be serious mistake for the federal
government to loosen the grip II has taken on
that other relic Of barbarism, poygamy, until
The evil Is effectually extirpated. Mr.. Hooper
is inspiring foolish hope in the Mormons.
They cannot be admitted as State with their
present immoral and unchristian social insti-
tuition Of polygamy.

ject from which ii seems difficult to arouse
To give assurance of safety we need ships
and guns competent to contend on equal
terms with those now possessed by other ma
tions. In these we are wofully deficient, and
before we can create them we must procure
the material, machinery and accommodations
requisite for their construction. This de-
mands time and preparation. Our navy yards
do not hold the facilities for building first
class iron-clad; they cannot even ex-
peditiousy dock and repair the few
vessels which we now possess and,
worse than all this, their situation is so ex-
posed that some of them might readily be
destroyed before they could manufacture the
means of self-protection. At Kttery, Maine,
the Navy Yard Is situated within three miles
of the ocean, and has no defence whatever;
while with regard to our other yards, though
their defences might be adequate for what was
war science of 1860, they would be unreliable
to repel naval attack in 1872.
While we have stood still the rest
of the world has been moving on, leaving
us behind. Not only are the fleets of
other nations far superior to ours but
the guns they carry have more efficient
destructive power than any our foundries can
produce. Our ffteen-inch guns, onoe deemed
the best are now so far surpassed by the
''Whitworth" ordnance that a comparison can
scarcely be made between them. Assuming
other conditions to be equal, one Of our ships
could not engage an enemy armed with the
Whitworth gun and have reasonable hope Of
success. AS already suggested, these are un-
palatable truths, but the sooner they are
known and appreciated the sooner will the
peoples servants In Congress be instigated to
better fulfilment Of their trust, and legislate
for enlargement Of the navy Of the United
States. True, this will cost money; and
spending the public treasure-except when it
is applied to the payment, ten years before
due, of the national debts not popular just
now. 1t might, however, be argued that
national expenditure, when made to foster the
ingenuity and industry of our own people, is
not extravaganza, but is a benefit to the pro-
ducing and laboring interests Of the country.
Forty millions year devoted to Improvement
of our national defsnces will give greater
impetus to prosperity at home than would one
hundred millions lavished for Improvement of
the national credit. In the estimation of the
world there is something which may be worth
more to us than this, and that is national
dignity and power.

Spanish Naval Action Against the Sultan
OF Ternate.

Spanish Naval Action Against the Sultan
Of Ternate.
The HERALD special telegram from London,
which we publish to-day, records the fact that
Spanish war vessels have just been ''blazing
away" in the waters of the far East. King
Amadeus officers have undertaken to chastise
the Sultan of Ternate for the encouragement
which he has been giving to piracy in the
Chinese territory. The Spaniards acted I'M
der the terms of the joint convention which
was concluded between the governments of
the United States, England, Germany
and Spain some few years since,
having for Its object the protection Of legiti-
mate commerce from the assaults Of pirates In
the Eastern seas. The Spanish war ships
opened fire of the Island of Gilolo-one of the
Malacca group-and bombarded and de-
moished the forts and other stronghods Of His
Majesty the Sultan, besides damaging his
palace domicile. In this matter the Dons
appear to have accomplished a necessary work
most effectually. OF the Sultan it may be
said, ''his smoking rooftree testides they have
done their errand WE'LL" We illustrate our
special news telegram by appeudng to 1t an
exposition Of the valuable trading interests
which are imperilled by piracy in the quarter
Of the East which is referred to. If the
modern De Sotos continue to protect them IN
this vigorous manner the nations will be
greatly obliged to them, and their power for
war may God new, healthy and profitable

republic.
