The STORY OF THE PoLARIs The Sunday
edition of TIE New York Herald contains six
column account of the search of the Tigress for
the remains of the Polaris, furnished bv it's
special correspondents. 1t opeus with a report
of a conversation with the Royal Inspector of
North Greenland in which that gentleman
stated that the failure of Halls expedition was
owing to the intrigues Of Emil Bessel, chief of
the scientific corps, and Frederick Never, me-
Jeorologist. These men had a Door opinion of
Halls scientific attainments, which, indeed
were not extensive, and cherished feeling of
jealousy because of the honor and reputation
which would accrue to him should the expedi-
ton prove a success. They fomented disturb
ances among the crew, composed chiefly of
Germans. and therefore naturally placing con-
fidence in them, and succeeded in winning over
Capt. Buddngton by giving him the key to the
medicine chest. Indeed, so far did mutny CO.
that when the Polaris arrived at Hosteiuberg
Bessel and portion of the crew contemplated
desertion ApprebendiDg trouble, Hall left
valuable papers with the Inspector. These pa
pers relate to the Franklin expedition and con-
tain positive proof that some of Sir John
Franklin's men had eaten each other in the
throes of starvation on the journey from Prince
OF Wales Island.
The Inspector is of opinion that Hall died
other than natural death, and that there was
foul play. He thinks the body should be sought
after and exhumed.
The Juuata proceeded to Upernavik, where
steam launch was fitted out for exploration as
far as Cape York.
The Tigress reached Upernavik Aug 10, and
there met the Junata. She steamed for the
North on the 18th, and encountered the steam
launch off Tessuisak next day. On the follow
ing morning she sighted the DEVILS Thumb
and steamed across Melville Bay toward Cane
York. AT Littleton island it was expected
some news of the Tigress would be found. Int
not single sign of life was discerned.
On the 14th of August the Tigress passed
Cape Abernethy. Tyson and some of the sur-
vlvors, whose escape on the ice foe SO startled
the world, were now on d ok. What recolIec
ton the present scene recalled to them! They
were approaching the spot where the Polaris
mystery had its birth. Strange enough. too.

The action of the President and Secretary
Richardson in refusing to issue any portion OF
the S44,000,000 greenback reserve for the aid
OF the distressed New York banks will I'M
doubtedly elicit hearty commentator from
the business community. The construc-
ton which he places upon his authority in
the matter and the rigid conformance to law,
to which he confines his prercgatives in the
matter, are guarantee of stability in the man.
agement of the national finances and indicate
the conscientious scrupulonsness which the
President brings to the discharge of his du-
ties. Mr.. Reverdy johnson, the lawyer
whose opinion was sought, held that, while
the constitution forbids the action sought, the
exigencies of the case would warrant the
President in overstepping the legal barriers,
which is a rather liberal view for so pronounc-
ed ''strict constructionist" as Mr.. johnson.
The adoption of this view of the subject
would be exceedingly dangerous as preced-
ent, however useful it might be temporarily.
A power placed in the hands of one or two
men to control the money market of the
country and to change values at their will
would present overwhelming temptations 10
abuse and would be a constant menace to the
business interests of the country. In each
case of interference everybody injured would
raise the cry of corruption and favoritism-
a very plausible accusation in the face of such
an enormous motive as might exist for any
such action. The functions of government
should be restricted within the closest limits
consistent with the safety of persons and
properly and the development and prosperity
of the nation.
