The vote in the House of Commons on the
proposition to censure the Gladstone Ministry
is suggestive of remarkable change in public
opinion in England. A fortnight previous to
tho opening of Parliament the Tory leaders
had resolved to leave tho Conservative
reaction to gather force, and make
no decisive effort to defeat the
Ministry during this session. So strong
however, has been the discomfort of various
advanced Liberals, on account Of the policy
of the Government on the Education Question,
and apparently of other of his former sup
portors, on account of his position toward
America, that the Tories have been encouraged
promptly to engage in a contest for power
Although the proposition to censure the Gov
eminent has been rejected, it was with a nota-
bio decrease of the majority with which
they have usually been supported. On Mon
day night, out Of 500 votes, the Government
had majority of only 81; while last session.
when the Army bill was under consideration,
the Government, out of $40, had q majority of
IS votes; and on the Ballot BILL in June last,
the Government was sustained by proportion
ate majority of o. out of 554 votes cast This
steadily decreasing majority is certainly sug-
gestve of the approaching downfall OF the
Gladstone Ministry.

CARNOCHAN AND LEET.

The resignation or removal of DR.. Carnochan
ms Health Officer is in order. After the reye-
lation of his guilt, charged six months ago IN
this journal, before the Assembly Committee
which met yesterday, there ought to be no
hesitation on the part Of the Governor; there
must be none by the Legislature when it re-
convenes. The evidence of his having
accented bride for granting to
beggarly company of extortionists the
privilege of preying upon the commerce
of tho Port is more positive even than that
which revealed how the Adventures Leet and
Stocking had thrived in the same way with
only Presidential favor as capital. The bride
has been traced directly home to DR.. Car
nochan and his confederate Martin Wiener /;
and if the District-Attorney does his duty he
will not wait for Legislative action, but pre-
sent both these men before the Grand Jury.
Their infamy no further exposures can In
crease; it will require no further testimony
to establish their guilt; and their punishment
ought to be speedy.
But, at any rate, the relief which our
merchants are entitled to ought not to be
this time, from leet and his cOnfederates and
CarnOCllan anu Ills Crew, buCu cAdCtlOuo 40
commerce cannot withstand; and the witness
who said that another year of such oppression
would irretrievably injure our commerce
only expresses the opinion of hundreds
of our Oldest merchants. Lcet and Com
pany arc continued in the place they
have forfeited only because the present
is tho busy and profitable season of the Gen
eral Order stores. When trade is duller and
their sacrifice will be less they will doubtless
be removed. Then the busy season of Quar-
antine will have set in, and in place of Leet
the merchants will have to endure CarnOchan
for term. If President and Governor retain
respect for their offices, and cherish the
good opinion Of the merchants whom they
have so long delivered over to the tender
mercies of their reckless favorites, they will
hasten to do this tardy act of justice by in
slant dismissal Of these INSCRIPTIONS advent

VISITING THE PRISONER.

OF all organized charities, perhaps, none
seem so hopeless and fruitless as those which
seek to reclaim from vice women who have
sunk so low az to become tolerably familiar
with the Police Court and the interior of the
Tombs. But there are one or two bcnevo-
lent associations which have for their
objects the reclamation and reform of
women who have no other helpful
friends than these. The Women's Prison
Association, which has named its asylum '"The
Isaac Il. Hopper Home" is one of the noble
charities that may be heartily commended to
the kindly public as an organization which has
done and is doing great good. 1t is one OF
the few which offer asylum, comfort, and
direction to women who stretch anxious, plead
ing hands out of the depths. Women who
have been tainted with various forms OF
vice are found in the House of Detention, the
institutions on Blackwells Island, and the
State Prison at Sing Sing. 1t is the merciful
errand Of the good women of the Prison Asso-
citation to seek out in these places such as are
willing to try for better life when they shall
be discharged, to bring them to the Home,
to afford them all practicable means of be-
ginning new and honest career, and to sur
rOunu Jncln HJ bldrJIuS Will buCu SIdClOus anu
restraining influences as only wise and kindly
women know how to use.
That this scheme is not visionary, tho annual
report of the Home attests. During the year past,
there have been 416 women received at the in
stitution; of these, 222 have gone into domestic
service, where they have found comfortable
homes employment, and means OF earning
an honest living II 1.-THE of that number
only had been saged from lives of shame,
the "Isaac Il. Hopper Home" would have
earned the right to be called a great blessing.
But, besides these poor souls delivered from
prison, II were returned to home and friends,
A provided for themselves, 9 were discharged,
0 sent to hospital, to the Almshouse, I died,
and 60 are "not heard FROM Alas for
these. Forty-seven now remain at the Home,
in preparation for the new fields which are
before them.
1t does not seem to be necessary to add
word to this brief statement. Over two humid
red women reclaimed from vicious lves-tms
is n years work of which the noble women
who form the Prison Association may well be
gratefully proud. 1t commcnds itself TO every
generous soul. 1t needs but its own plain
statement to recommend to the hearty SYM
patty of all who wish well for humanity that
band of large-souled women who are thus
mindful of the SaviOrs words" was sick

loves good debate that it seizes the first

TIE ARMS SCANDAL IN TIE SENATE,
If any one has imagined that there was any
truth in the clustering statements of the live
red organs of the corrupt Rings of Washing
ton, that the investigation of the French Arms
Scandal had fallen through, no will be
fully undeceived by reading the account of
yesterdays debate in the Senate. Gen.
Schurz had not his spurs to win. He
has long been known as one Of our foremost
public speakers. But he gained yesterday his
greenest laurels as an energetic and brilliant
parliamentary dcbater. The interest of tho
session was not, however, merely personal
one The dense crowd which throngod
the galleries of the Senate and the
overflow upon the floor wcre evidently
deeply interested in tho subject of the debate.
The most significant incidents of the day wero
those improper and Illicit bursts of applause
which followed every expression Of independ-
ence and every denunciation of frauds and
corruption in office.
Striking as was the oratorical success of Mr..
Schurz tho superior force of his argument
was not less marked. All the grace of his
wit, the acerbity of his sarcasm, and the ardor
of his eloquence did not carry him away for
a moment from the point he was making.
He Invested the question from those
personal issues with which Morton and
Conkling had 30 labOriously enveloped
and befogged it. He dismissed them with
few words of witty and good-natured con-
tempt, and then stated with singular clear
ness tho three questions involved in the
inquiry: 1st, whether anything had been
done, in connection with the sale of arms in
1870. inconsistent with the rule laid down by the
Government touching our neutral obligations
I'd, whether our own laws were violated; and
Sd, whether there is ground for suspicion of
corrupt practices in connection with these
transactions. These are the only questions
proper for consideration in this debate.
Yet Mr. Morton and Mr.. COnkling have
been for week trying to make them
selves and the public believe that the
platform of the Missouri liberals, the
prospects of the New-Hampshire campaign
and the result of tho Philadelphia Convention
were the questions naturally aroused by the
resolutions of Mr.. Sumner The bulk of Mr..
Schurz's speech, yesterday, was a close
and logical argument, couched in the
most temperate language, showing that
in all three of these respects there
was an apparent irregularity amounting to an
absolute violation of law. He left little doubt
that the War Department must have known
it was selling arms to tho French Agent, and
he brought forward a suspicious, and thus far
unexplained circumstance, going to show that
the suspension of the sales for few days in
October was in order to accommodate Remington
and Sauires, the avowed agents of France
~ al A,
evidence of NJ. Lecesne in Paris, which showed
that Remington protested TO deal directly
with the War Department in his purchases.

prove that the sale of the breech1oadng

ccivcd il London last December, though it
