CAPTAIN BUDDINGrONS STORY.

Our mail adyices from Dundee this morning
give some further particulars of the Polaris
castaways, which supplement the long nara
tive telegraphed to Us from Scotland ON the
10Th of September. 1t is to the statement of
Capt. Buddington that attention will be
chiefly directed. If any doubt still remained
az to the manner of Halls death and the cir
cumstances of the separation of the crew, the
nresent publication would remove it. Bud
dington, Tyson, Schumann, Bessel, Myer, all
agree in their testimony. There is no dis
crepancy in any important point and hardly
any variation.
Capt Buddington, it will be seen, makes no
secret of his disagreement with Hall, and he
confesses that after the death of Hall the
dissensions became more bitter than ever At
last DR.. Bessel drew up paper which Bud
dington signed, sort of agreement ap-
parently for an amicable division Of author
ity, Buddington commanding the ship and
Bessel tho scientific part of the expedition,
and the document closed with solemn
declaration, not altogether supertiuous under
the circumstances, that the signers were really
earnest in the search upon which they had
been sent. This extraordinary paper, IT it has
been preserved will doubtless be the subject
of further inquiry. That any doubt should
have existed even for a moment as to the
right of command over an expedition sent out
by the United States Government Is in the
highest degree dscreditable.
1t cannot have escaped notice that IN all
the narratives of the adventures of this party
from the hour of their separation to the
present time, it is not Buddington but Ches-
ter who appears as their real leader. 1t Is
Chester who plans the building of the boats
and directs their construction 1t Is Chesters
energy and courage and fertile resources that
bring the men safely through their perilous
voyage. All who have been heard from at
tribute their rescue TO him; and Capt. Bud
dington's voice joins in the chorus of praise
to his gallant first mate.

THE DEMOCRACY At UTICA.

The Democratic Convention which meets in
Utica to-day has a task before it of unusual
difficulty and delicacy. 1t is to prepare for a
campaign where failure is probable in any
case. and certain in the event that the dele
gates follow the unfortunate example of their
State Committee and pretend to treat the Bal
timore Convention as If it had never BEEN
IL would seem unnecessary TO remind adults
of average intelligence that the Democratic
party has no chance for life and no right to
it, except on the ground of its last years ten
denotes and professions. But if we take the
word of some of those who presume TO know
the intentions of the gentlemen in charge of
the organization, there is reason to believe
this one chance is to be discarded.
To deserve success, the Convention must
present better ticket and better platform
than the Republican delegates who preceded
them at Utica. In regard to the platform
there need be little effort. They could hardly,
for instance, bring forth anything more weak
and indeterminate than the resolution by
which our senior Senator endeavOred to get
the back pay out of his pocket, without admit
ting it had ever been there. The people of the
State expect something more definite and
more honest than this from Utica to-day
and the delegates will not be wise if they
allow any mistaken kindness to their own
political associates to blunt the edge of their
utterances. So far as the ticket is concerned
the work of the Convention is not so easy.
They can scarcely make so good nomination
for Controller as that of Nelson X. Hopkins
they certainly can make none better. They might
improve upon the Republican ticket by nomi-
mating Mr.. Raines for Treasurer, as he possesses
exactly the same claims which make the
nomination Of Mr.. Hopkins so unexceptiOn-
able-perfect integrity, unquestiOned ability,
and large experience in office. 1t would be
hard to make worse nomination for State
Engineer than that of Mr.. Taylor, and if the
Convention presents man of eminent char
acter and fitness, it would be giving the
people of the State fair chance to defeat
this instrument of the Canal Ring.
Altogether, the way in which the Conven-
ton ought to walk seems plain enough. But
this is a bad year for prophecy, and we must
wait for the news tonight to sec if the
Democratic party in this State prefers eutha-
nasia to struggle for life.

a share of the resources of the banks Has
been lent out, while but very small proper
ton has been invested in Government bonds
and first-class securities leaving out, OF course
the bonds deposited with the Government as
security for the circulation.
There is already disposition in some quar-
tiers, in place of investigating the misman-
agement which has produced the pres
ent troubles, to look upon the troubles as
inevitable. An unbounded imitation OF the
currency is advocated as sure specific for
any disorder which may arise from the reck-
lessness and ignorance of bank managers

GOOD And DOUBTFUL SIGNS.

Yesterday regular business was resumed at
the Stock Exchange. For five hours stocks
and bonds were sold as usual without the
slightest symptom of panic. 1t is evident that
a new basis has been established from which
any future rise in the prices of stocks will
take its start. The level now reached is not
materially lower than the prices which pre-
vailed only two or three years ago. So far as
the welfare of the stock brokers and their
clients is concerned, the closing of the Stock
Exchange has been fully justified.
The only thing now remaining to be accom-
plished is to put the bank machinery in work
ing order Let those Over-cautious people who
have not some good reason for distrusting the
credit of the banks with which they have been
accustomed to do business, restore the money
which they have withdrawn. SO much lies
within the power of the people. On the other
hand let the banks use their funds freely in
discountng and responding to the demands of
depositors. Too great concern for their own
safety will not fail to be the destruction of
these institutions. There are some indications
that the issue of the new currency Of
certificates may be carried too far and cOntin-
ued too long. The principles of good banking
and the dangers to which the banks are
exposed are not universally understood, even
by bank officers. The practice of paying
interest on current balances seems to us a
dangerous one, and chief cause of the pres
ent troubles. Another cause Is that too large

SOUTHERN STATE GOYERNvFNT9


The pleasing intelligence is telegraphed from
Little Rock that the political warfare in Ar
kansas is at an end, and the Republican party
is at last united and happy. The Supreme
Court has decided, as we always held that it
must decide. against the right of court of
law to determine the Governors title to his
office. The writs of quo warranto and similar
processes issued by Attorney General Yonley
become mere waste paper. Chief-Justice Nc
Clure retires from the more congenial excite
ment of partisan journalism to the seclusion
of the bench. His newspaper changes hands
and supports the State Administration which
it has blackguarded so long and with so keen
q relish and Gov. Baxter musters out his
militia. So ends the Little Rock War, which
threatened at one time to cOnvuse the whole

There is devotion to science that is inspired and
heroic which has sentiment as well as reason There
is no soldier more gallant than the young German
physician who lately died of cholera, and is said to
have actually invited in the interests OF science the
attack of this nearly certain death. He had worked
through severe epidemcs of spotted fever and small
pox without being in the least moved thereby, and
as soon as no realized that he had the cholera he
went cheerfully to tell the Principal of the Patho-
logical Institute to which he belonged that it had
attacked him, and that he would soon make an end
of it, It unfortunately removed him from all further
observations, but not before he made his case to
form a starting point for fresh Investigations Med-

The story of the shipment of one hundred tons Of
wrought iron from New-York to Liverpool to be
sold at profit for a less price than the correspond
ing quality of English make, turns out to be pure
myth. An order for one hundred tons was solicited
by the agent of an American house in this city,
Liverpool firm sent an order for that quantity, but
the American house could not fill it without loss,
and there the matter appears to have ended. The
English have partly lost the American market but
we still continue to import thousands of tons every
week in spite of the great development of our own
manufactures.

In regard to the awards that have been
made by the American and British Mixed
Claims Commission, there is some satisfac-
ton to DO derived from the fact that,
although nearly two millions of dollars
are added to our debt, it is probable that
the surplus from the Geneva award, after
the claims of private persons are paid by
our Government, will be sufficient to meet
this indebtedness. Our chief cause for con-
graduation, however is the fact that the
sum awarded to claimants is almost an
infintesimal portion of the aggregate amount
which they demanded.

The Arkansas political troubles have been
closed at last by the withdrawal of the Brooks
suit against Gov. Baxter. That functionary
has disbanded the State militia. who have
been maintaining an attitude of armed OBJ
servation for some time. This conflict has
latterly taken the shape of an attempt to get
from the courts the determination OF ques-
ton which had been already closed Gas was
considered) by the Legislature of the State.
The plan to GUST Baxter from the Governors
chair was not, however, so much the work of
his political opponents as of his own party
colleagues, who were dissatisfied with his
management" Probably we shall find that
the peaceful result which has been reached is
based on one of those compromises which
anxious politicians know how to apply for the
healing of difficulty.
