HAYDEN CURRENCY AND PRESIDENT SAaEr 9
DECREE. THE President of Hayti has issued
decree, as will be seen by our
despatch in another part Of the paper,
to abolish paper money currency; but
he very wisely extends the term for ac-
complishing this object four months from
the 18th Of this month. President Saget
might just as well have extended the time
much longer, for no one can imagine how
specie payments are to be resumed where cur
rency holds the relation to specie Of three to
four hundred dollars for one dollar. and where
there is scarcely any specie in the country.
However, as the President has exercised the
power to repudiate all the notes of twenty dol
lars denomination, because they have become
much deprecated by countsrfeits, he may
squelch the whole paper currency and debt of
the Republic in the same facile manner. Mr..
Summers pet black Republic has peculiar
and original system Of finance for disposing
Of its obligations unknoUp elsewhere,

French spoliation once more engaged the
attention Of the Senate yesterday. The
venerable measure was treated with some
indignity at the hands Of the Ohio Senators,
from which its extreme age should have saved
it. The International Exposition ct Vienna
next year and the Credit Mobilier scandal
engaged the House. For the former
some kind words were said on the
score of its peace-inclining genius.
Is it wrong to be cynical on this view of the
benefits Of those international raree shows ?,
That they help trade and commerce is some-
times true but that they are Of any greater
sentimental value than the piping of the wind
instruments at the late unfortunate Boston
Jubilee is, we fear, untrue. When we look
back over the Paris Exposition Of 1867 and
the omipous display Of Krupp riaed cannon

HoME FOR DEcAYED Actors Although not
very popular with the mass Of the actors of
his day and generation, the late Edwin Forrest
has won place in the esteem of those who
survive him by his munifcent donation for
the establishment of comfortable and per-
manent home for those who have become de-
o'htated or decayed in following their pro-
tession' According to the terms Of the be-
quest this Home is to be erected in Phila-
delphia, surrounded by an extensive area of
ground, and TO be both an ornament to the
city and in every way appropriate and elegant
for the purposes intended by the donor. In
the hands of proper trustees, and duly in
corporated by the Legislature of the State,
this Edwin Forrest Home may become one
OF the finest private cleemosynary institutions
IN the country.

We regret President Grants action in this
Louisiana matter the moro because his re-eiec-
ton afforded him SO favorable an opportunity
to inaugurate new and magnanimous policy
in his treatment of the Southern States. In
all his former public career, while no
remained Independent of the politicians,
General Grant displayed q liberaiiy to-

him to the popular heart; for the American
people are generous in their instincts and arc
willing to forget the enmities Of the past
The belief that In his second term Of Office
tho President would insist upon restoring to
the Southern States all their constitutional
rights, and would leave the Southern citizens
to manage their own affairs in their own way,
influenced many thousands Of voters to sup
port him at tho polls In the recent election,
North and South. He might have won-he
may yet win for himself a fame in peace as
enviable as his reputation in war, by pursuing
such course as will restore entire self-gov-
eminent to every State in the Union. 1t is
evident that In his action on the Louisiana
question he has been badly advised, but it is
not yet TOO late TO remedy the evil Let him
recall bis recognition Qf the Pinch

The Approach OF Christmas.

In New York and sister cities Christmas has
become quite On institution. 1t is not more
faithfully observed in any part Of the South,
or indeed, in any part Of ''Merrie England"
than it is with us. Thanksgiving Day itself
is not more heartily welcomed by the young
folks than is Christmas Day and the holidays
which follow it. It is the season of mirth and
jollity. of good cheer, of kind wishes and
deeds Of charity 1t is the season in which,
more than in any other the heart goes out
beyond itself and finds delight in the diffusion
Of happiness. The day commentaries o
great love, and it is well that on the day char
ity should find free and full expression.
In few days more the holiday season will
be upon us, and there is every evidence that
the season will be one Of unusual prosperity
and liveliness. Already the stores along
Broadway and on the various avenues are put
ting on their holiday attire. The wholesale
places Of business are filed with the choicest
assortments Of goods adapted to the holidays
The theatres, too, promise to be lively and
entertaining beyond almost any Christmas
season in the past. In day or two more our
country cousins will be in upon us in crowds.
They have their wants to supply, and their
present anxiety Is what stores to visit and
where to invest. To all such we commend as
the best directory the advertising columns of
the HERALD. If amusement is wanted the
HERALD tells where to find it, and where it is
safest and wisest to purchase the HERALD in
fallibly guides.

Railroad Charges.
Resolutions offered by Mr. Stewart, Of
Nevada, In the Senate. with regard to reeu-
lating rates of fare and transportation ON
railroads between the States, and instructine
the Committee on the Judiciary to inquire into
the authority of Congress on the subject, have
been adopted and referred to the committee.
It is under the provision of the constitution
which authorizes Congress to regulate com-
merce among the several States that these
resolutions were offered. It is to be hoped
the Judiciary Committee will thoroughly in
vestigate this matter and propose the legisla-
ton needed. The railroads have grown to
be stupendous monopolies. and tax the people
heavily than the federal government can VEN

This is a more burde a r los

the States, and Congress has, no doubt. tho

to the Committee on the Judiciary, and we

SLAVE TRADE.-Sir Bartle Frere arrived in
Alexandria, Egypt, yesterday, at the head Of
the British Commission which has been
despatched for Zanzibar to operate for the
suppression Of the African slave trade. The
travellers enjoyed pleasing, enthusiastic
reception from the English officials and the
Egyptian army officers serving in the city.
Sir Bartle will proceed to Cairo, where he will
be entertained as the guest Of His Highness
the Khedive. He is attended BY staff Of
distinguished officers, as will be Seen by our
cable telegram, and will no doubt be enabled
to accomplish very important results soon
after he reaches the objective point Of hia
present Journey.

Murder is the fashion of the day in New
York. Humiliating as the confession is, truth
compels it. Criminal homicides are recorded
in almost every issue Of the HERALD. the sick
enihg details furnishing daily sensational hor-
rors. Life is held cheaper here to-day than it
has ever before been, evon in the most lawless
localities of the West or South. In the 'flush
times" thirty or forty years ago. it was es-
teemed perilous to visit Natchez-under- the
Hill after nightfall. Pistols and bowie
knives were freely used there, but the blacklegs
who congregated in the bells were cognizant
of the custom, and honest people could stay
away. CALIFORNIA; early miners protected
their lives and property with the ready revolt
yer, and punished theft by the simple law Of
vengeance. II ths rude conditions q society
which sanctioned such practices there was
lack Of the regular organizations for
dispensing justice. The swift punishment
of an offender by the party injured or his i'm
mediate friends, though informal, was often
actual justice, and popularity accepted as
such. Here, on the contrary, we have muir
derous violence in open defiance Of law and
PaDno sentiment Our o,s ", is guarded by
vigilant police. Its Courts of Criminal juris-
diction are many and costly. Perhaps no
where else does the public pay more literally
for judicial protection, yet murder stalks our
most public streets in high day; it holds revel
in our slums OF night; it infests our hotels;
1t mocks the majesty of the law by Staying its
victim on the threshold Of judges chamber;
it is all about us, thickening the air with
blood, and it is never punished Jack Rey-
nolds was prophet His execution only
gave the seeming lie to his assertion, "Hang-
ing is played out" which has since his death
become literal truth. Our City Prison is
thronged with murderers. Their lives are
safer there than those of the average
citizen in the streets. We do not
hold the police responsible for the
terrible condition into which we have
drifted. They usually detect and arrest
the slayers. In the practical uselessness of
our Courts and prosecuting officers is the
source of this plague, which, if not stayed,
will work the ruin of our great and proud city
1t is well known that money is able to post
pone and indefinitely prolong the trial Of
q culprit guilty Of the most heinous
murder. If money is not used to corrupt
officers it certainly is made to procure such
vexatious delays that in effect it thwarts
justice and procures immunity from penalty
to the most guilty. 1t obstructs and clogs all
the operations Of the Courts and, far worse,
has created popular belief that murder in
New York is not to be punished. This is the
explanation Of the reign Of murder at all
times and in all places through our city.
Were it once again established that speedy
and sure hanging would be the fate Of every
murderer, from that moment murder would
become a rare crime. To bring back this
assurance is the sacred duty, as 1t Is the
urgent interest, of every citizen. Without it
neither life nor property can long have value.

dents action will scarcely be accepted as
sufficient The President, he says, did not
doubt that irregularities had occurred on both
sides but, believing that the republican
ticket had received majority Of the votes of
louisiana" he determined to forestan the
action of the State by recognizing Legisla-
ture declared elected by Board which did not
have before it an official election return from
a single district Of the State. So, according
to this legal luminary of the Cabinet, the
''belief'' of the President as to the result of
State election i to compensate for all ''irregu-
larities" in the canvass and to decide what
government shall be pronounced the 'lawful
government of State
These unfortunate events are deplorable for
two reasons: First, in the broad aspect Of
the question, because they are calculated to
undermine the foundations Of republican
liberty and to substitute brute force for law.
II the action Of Judge Durell was legal in
Louisiana, a similar authority might be exer.
cised by the federal Courts in any State of the
Union. 1t would only be necessary for the de-
feated party to obtain the friendly aid of a
United States Circuit Judge, and the assist
ance Of body Of federal troops, to enable
them to reverse the result Of an election and
to seize upon State government. Once in
stalled in Office by such means, they could
initiate the example Of the negro Pinchback
and his Legislature in New Orleans; impeach
and remove Objectionable State officials; abol.
ish unfriendly or independent State COURTS
disarm the militia; replace the police with
creatures Of their own, and thus render their
power supreme. All this has been done in
Louisiana, sovereign State Of the
Union, and if suffered to succeed,
the States viii henceforth exist only through
the suffennce of the federal government But
there is another reason for deploring the arbi-
trary action Of the federal authorities. II is o
