The Great Ocean Yacht Regatta.

On Thursday afternoon thirteen vessels OF
schooner rig and of four distinct classes
which have never before met in racing COM
petition, sailed forth under q clear blue sky
on q grand ocean race The fact that five
vessels of our trim pilot feet whose fame in
their line of hardy seafaring is worldwide,
were sailing beside five saucy schooners of
our racing feet is circumstance in itself
worthy of note. That two working schooners,
one from Staten Island and another from Cold
Spring Harbor, brought their ruddy crews
into competition with the pilot boats and that
a gallant little schooner smack came forward
to claim her share of the race, give us pic
ture well worthy Of the genius of some such
American painter of marine subjects as
Moran. That the race meant down.
right sailing under conditions which
divested it of the toyike quality of races in
shore was evident from the beginning 1t was
test of qualities that are not brought out
in races with land calms threatening to spoil
all sport in races with subtle knowledge of
tides and currents telling more than the great
quality of fast sailing; in races where the
exact reach of every tack under given direc-
tons of wind can be calculated to nicely.
The vessel, in such o race as that started on
Thursday is tested as much as the sailing
master, and the result will prove much more
of the true grit in both than the ornamental
regattas which, in their place, are SO very ad-
mirable. About this race there is another

heart, by whose lives coasting commerce is

whose fathers in turn manned the gallant ships
that in the war of the revolution SO brilliantly
contested with England for the supremacy Of
the seas-are taking their places in the race
with their fortune favored fellow citizens. 1t
matters not to whom the prizes fall if the race
proves where the best contests are to be
decided and if it marks an innovation in
yachting experience worthy of the aquatic
holidays Of republic. The course, covering
from two hundred and fifty to three hundred
miles Of actual sailing, is splendid one, and
one of the results of the race will doubtless be
to make it the scene Of the future contests of
importance batted in by yachts in the
vicinity of New York. Throughout yesterday
the arrival Of the winning vessels was
anxiously expected, and the explanation that
three hundred miles cannot be sailed in the
time of an ordinary race from the Narrows to
Sandy Hook Lightship and back was made
hundreds of times by those learned in the
matter to others not SO fortunate, but up to
the present time the return Of none Of the
yachts has been reported.

argument for an open nomination is that II
the President appoints the right man the
country will be satisfied in any case. 1t is the
old laisser auer of the contented trader, trust
ing. in Micawber spirit, that the right thing
will turn up in things political in spite OF all
the chances on the other side, We have shown
how the President may make . mistake, and
what little chance there is through the servile
Senate of its being corrected until it has
become disgrace to the country and stain
to the administration. If the name OF the
right man for the place were submitted to-day
the country, irrespective Of party, would
unite in praise. and the worst that could come
of poor appointment would be the preven-
ton of an error in Judgment becoming re-
proach to the entire nation.
The dark, plotting ways of European di-
plomacy and the stealthy preparation of po-
litical surprises, which are there called
craftsmanship, are foreign to our SOIL If
General La Marmora had never told the world
that conspiracy and counter-conspirncy in
French, German and italian embassies were
the preludes to all the events that have
changed the map of Europe after carrying out
the fight of diplomats on the field of battle,
we should still have been able to say that
these things are for empires and monarchies,
and not for q democratic Republic. The
silence which would cover the agreed on ap-
pointment of an administration partisan, be-
cause, as is alleged, its announcement would
necessitate Senatorial resignation, under a
clause of the Constitution, would be re-
proach to ITSELF 1t would mean that it COW
cred train of political bargaining, and that
no doubt was entertained as to the power to
force an appointment through. 1t leaves the
paramount question of fitness contemptuously
aside, and bluntly discredits the intelligence
of the nation.

limits. These roads are mainly built with
Indian money by British engineers and en-
ergy. They must exert an immense influence
in bringing these vast populations into in
innate connection and sympathy with the in
stitutions and peoples of Europe and America

shall see the weekly arrival of thousands from
those crowded districts to people our vacant
lands, which but wait for industry to furnish

The Church and State Question and
tho Evangelical Alliance.

INC hvohSeAlcuA Alll0mccs
The discussion which took place in the
Alliance Conference on the Church and State
question has not, we think, converted the
American people. Canon Fremantle did his
lishment principle; but it is not our opinion,
able as his paper unquestionably was, that he
made good his position to the minds of the
American portion of his audience Certain it
is that the reported address does not alter the
convictions of the American public. 1t was,
all. 1t is the question which the American
people have already settled, and on which they
neither need nor wish light. It is the ques-
ton which reveals the weakness of the
Alliance, and in America, where the
State Church has no existence, it
would most certainly have been wise
to leave the vexed question alone. Our
Republic has prospered andit goes on to pros
per, because it has left and still leaves religion
to the family and the individual 1t will be
have got on very we'll hitherto-remarkabl
well in comparison with the nations of Eu-
rope. The speech of President Woolsey was
o magnificent defence of the American posi-
ton. In Europe to-day the American system
is working its way with great success Never
during the many years of its existence was
the Liberation Society so strong as it is now.
Disestablishment, in fact, is the order OF the
day in Great Britain. Mr.. Gladstone began
his public life by advancing some such Uto-
plan theory as that of Mr.. Fremantle; but
Mr. Gladstone has long since come into the
fuller light, and the disestablishment Of the
Church in Ireland represents Mr.. Gladstones S
later and more mature convictions. Two
thirds Of the Scottish people worship
in Christian temples supported by
the voluntary contributions Of the
people, and test vote in Scotland tomorrow
would demolish the Church establishment.
The Church is strong in England strong
mainly because Of its enormous wealth in real
estate; but the nonconformists of England
have perfect right to claim at least one-half
of the population. We have no fear that
when, some fifty years from now, the last
traces of the Church establishment are disap-
pearing in England, the American people will
be busy building up great national church.
We do not go backward. There were no State
churches in the beginning. There will be
none in the end. The prominence given to
this question will, we fear, have bad effect
on the future of the Alliance.

General spinner on the Operations OF
tho Treasury Department..

The United States Treasurer is preparing
his exhibit of the operations of the Treasury
Department up to the end of the fiscal year
for Congress. He will show that the receipts
from customs had fallen off about $28, $50, OOO
and from internal revenue SIG, 900, 900, in all
$45, Isl 900. There was however, On increase
of 81, 800, 900 from miscellaneous sources and
public lands. From customs the amount was
$1S8, ,095, 522, from internal revenue S113, 729,-
314, from lands 81, 8S2, 312, and from miscel-
hneous $29, ,037, 055 The total income from
revenue sources was $3.50, 735, ,2O3. One of the
heaviest items Of expenditure was for the War
Department. amounting to $46, 0OO, 900, which
is $4,000, 900 over the expenditure of the
year before. A few years before the late war
the whole expense Of the government did not
exceed that of the War Department now.
Yet the army is not very large. Where does
the money go? There has been no great In
dian war, though few troublesome out
breaks and conflicts. We fear the contractors
for the troops operating in the Indian country
have been enabled to dip deeply into the
Treasury. AT oil events, the War Department
in time Of peace, such as we have now, ought
not to cost SAG, 100000. The expenditure for
the navy was $23, 900, 900. This was SO, 000, 900
over that Of the preceding year. Reckoning
the interest on the debt in round numbers at
500, 100000, there would still be left over
$3.50, 100000 of the years income for current
expenses and to be applied to the liquidation
of the debt This is far too large revenue to
raise. 1t only leads to extravagance and cor
ruption. A hundred and fifty millions year
over what is necessary for interest on the debt
would be an ample revenue for paying the ex-
penses of government in addition to round
sum for hquidating the debt 1t is hard work
to bring the government to the healthy
economy Of former times, yet we would urge
Congress when it assemblies to reduce taxa
ton and cut down expenditures That would
both help the industry Of the country and
give better economical and moral tone to
society.

The New York Temperance state
Convention and It's Programme.


Convention and It's Programme.
The New York State Temperance Conven-
ton, which has, at Utica, defined the political
position and purposes Of our absolute prohibi-
tionists, is, we believe the last of the list of
our political Stats conventions for 1873. 1t
leaves our approaching November election
contest between the republicans and the dem
ocrats; but, nevertheless, upon the liquor
question it proposes an active guerrilla cam
paign against the adherents of John Barley
corn on both sides. The platform of these
temperance men is certainly the broadest,
deepest and most thoroughly radical Of any of
the State temperance organizations of the day.
Their first proposition or requisition is pos
itively startling, and if carried out will be de-
cisive against oil indulgences in or uses of
intoxicating drinks in the United States. It
is nothing less than q demand for law from
Congress interdicting the importation into the
United States of intoxicating liquors and sup
pressing the manufacture and sale thereof
within the limits and jurisdiction of the gen.
eral government We can only say of this
comprehensive project that it strikes at the
root Of the matter, and that, if carried into
complete effect, intemperance will be abol-
ished in this country; but if there is man
child now living destined to see the day when
this proposed law of Congress shall be law
of the land he will doubtless be the happiest
man and the Oldest man that ever trod the
earth. In short, if our total prohibitionists
intend to fight it out on this line they will
have, we fear, to maintain the battle "while
the grass grows and the water runs
Descending to feasible design, our State
temperance party propose to look about them
for temperance candidates for our next Legis-
lature, and where such candidates cannot be
found in the republican or democratic nom
nations they intend, if practicable, to go
for independent nominations, and they in
tend to go for the revival of the Local Option
bill, for the suppression of the Sunday liquor
traffic, for the prohibition of the manufac-
ture and sale of intoxicating beverages by the
State and the legal observance Of the Sabbath.
The democratic and republican parties, there
fore, will please take notice that our liquor
prohibitionists are on the warpath, and that
candidates for the Legislature are to be sub
jected on the liquor issue to o searching
cross-examination.
