THE NEWLY APPOINTED Police Justices have
been sworn in, and, under the law, should enter
upon their official duties on Tuesday of next
week. Of course, the constitutionality of the
law under which they have been appointed
will be contested by the Police Justices now
filing the Offices by election, and it is said
that Mayor Havemeyer, in anticipation Of such
o result desires the Police Commissioners to
order prisoners to be taken before the new
Justices only. But the question will have to
be settled by the Courts, and not by the Police
Commissioners, and, for the protection Of the
citizens, 1t is TO be hoped that the decision will
be reached as speedily and with as little indie
cont conflict of authority ~ possible.

that the whole corporation was little more
than one ring within another. each ring steal
Ing from the other, and that part Of the pro-
ceeds of the bonds was applied to pay the in
terest and to soothe the press. 1t was found
that not dollar had been paid by the pro-
jectors towards the road. There was . con-
struction company, which charged three prices
for building the railway; . land company
which took the best portions of the land grant
for nothing and gave worthless bonds in re-
turn. City sites and town lots had been quietly
parcelled out among the directors. part of
the shares had been put away as reserved
fund, and when this fund was examined 1t
was found that these shares had been divided
between members of Congress, popular
clergymen and editors Of the press-all but
one fragment which was devoted to the sup
port of o number of ohaplains who labored
with the mechanics and workingmen on the
Sabbath day.
When these things were known there was
o great clamor. But who wns to blame?
Had not Congress voted subsidies? Had not
the projectors Of the enterprise subscribed to
every charity and advertised in every news
paper? Was it not noble thing to develop
the country? Were not the bonds good for
new generation9 And were they not largely
held in foreign lands and by a strange
people, for whose misfortunes we cared littlep
And if Buchu and the members of his ring
lost nothing should we censure them for being
shrewd men of business ? If, in short, the
whole enterprise was swindle-a false pre-
tence from beginning to end-only an expedi-
ent to sell worthless bonds on commission,
make money out Of construction companies
and gain vast land franchises for nothing
why should we complain? These men only
took advantage of the time They saw that
to do evil things did not always bring an evil
name. They had learned the wonderful mer-
camille value of press that speaks your bid
ding and pulpit that advertises your bonds
at morning and evening prayers. They
applied the subtle principles of the financial
philosophy of Buchu to their enterprises
and were successful True, the panic led to
their failure, but it was only failure to pay
honest debts and make good swindled buyers
of fancy bonds. Beyond that there was no
failure and no men to-day have more real
money out of the reach Of the courts than the
managers of the bankrupt Buchu Pacific
Railway.

THz 'Snvzn AaE"- have had the
golden age, the iron age, the gresnback age.
and ii seems that We are now to have the
'silver age" This silver issue, however, may
be the ''silver lining to the black panic cloud
that lately overshadowed the country. but we
imagine our workingmen who are out Of en-
ployment would prefer to have their pockets
lined with the dsspised national currency than
to hear the silver jingle In the pockets of their
more fortunate neighbors.

DISTRESS IN ALABAMA. 1t is stated that in
consequence Of heavy rains and the destruc-
lion of the cotton crops by the army worm
much destituton exists in several counties in
Alabama, particularly in Sumter and Marengc
counties 1t is alleged that in some places
there Is actual starvation, and that aid is
required in order to avoid the most serious
consequences during the coming winter. It
Is sad to reflect that while portions of the
Southwest notably Memphis and Shreveport,
have been afflicted with terrible epidemic
part Of the extreme South should be
suffering from another visitation. But in the
midst Of these troubles it is gratifying to
record the spirit of hberality exhibited by
Northern people in behalf Of their afflicted
Southern brethren. We trust they will not
halt in these praiseworthy efforts in the cause
of common humanity.

The Late Panic and the Working
People.

The Late Panic and the Working
People.
The late panic which for the time created
general apprehension, and caused the banks
and individuals to rake together all the money
they could get and keep it locked up, proves
in the end more disastrous to the working
classes than to any other The bankers and
speculators who fail are generally provided
with some means, through previous assign
ment Of property to their families or other
wise. In fact, they live generally in much the
same style. But the locking up Of money
through fear in such o crisis closes manufac-
turing establishments, stops industry and
+, throws out of employment great numbers of
work neople, who have nothing to live
upon but their wages from week to week.
ALI round we hear Of susperssson OF iaoof,
because employers cannot get the money
necessary to pay their hands. Employers
take advantage too, Of such state of things
to reduce the rate of wages. Every way,
therefore, the worhngmen are the greatest
sufferers. This stringency in the money mar
ket, and consequent interruption of industry,
occur, unfortunately, at time of the year
when the prospect is more gloomy than at any
other season-when the winter is about to
commence and when families want to lay in q
supply of fuel and other necessaries. But the
tradesmen and small dealers must also suffer
from the means Of the most numerous class of
society being cut off However, the winter
has not set in yet, and there are indica-
tions Of an improvement in the financial
affairs of the country. The effect of the panic
is passing away, and it is to be hoped the
banks and individuals who have locked up
money will let it out again, and thus enable
the manufacturers to resume or continue
work. The state of things caused by the re-
cent disturbance Is only artificial Still it will
take little time to bring the current back to
its ordinary channel In the meantime we
advise employers to be considerate to their
workmen and the workmen to be patient and
reasonable The country is prosperous, not
withstanding the temporary panic, is full Of
resources, and never had since the war bet
ter prospect as regards trade with foreign ma
tions. We hope the consequences of the panic
will pass away before the severe winter weather
sets in.

Legitimate Expenses or an Election.
The Chairman Of the State Executive Com
mittee of the republican party has issued an
appeal to tho supporters of that organization
and its principles and to all who ''are desirous
of the success of it's candidates at the ap-
preaching election" to forward . contribution
to said in dafraying the legitimate and large
outlay required in the present contest" To
day we publish an appeal from poorly paid
Post Office clerk, who complains that an as-
sessment Of one and q half per cent on their
salaries is demanded Of the Post Office en-
ploy6s by the Superintendent for electioneer-
ing purposes, and asks Postmaster James to
assure them that they will not be dismissed if
they refuse to rob their wives and children of
this amount In addition to this we have q
Custom House assessment and, besides, a
very high assessment upon the candidates who
are running for Office, and all to meet '1egiti-
mate electioneering expenses"
Now, who receives and expends all this
money, and what are legitimate expenses of
an election2 There are the printing of bal
lots, the erection of ticket booths, the pay
ment of the ticket distributors, and the adver-
tising, posters, and probably few public
meetings, bands, torches, &C., to be paid for.
But all these are paid by the over-eager can
didates themselves. It follows that either q
large amount of money is spent in corruption,
bribery and other illegal work, or the money
extorted from poor clerks and political boobies
is pocketed by ring Of sharks in the organ
izaton. So far as the partisans are concerned
they are at liberty to throw away their money
If they please, but the robbery Of hard-worked
employees is an outrage of which civil service
reformers should be ashamed. We are con-
fdent that neither the Collector Of the Port
nor the Postmaster will suffer any clerk in the
Custom House or Post Office to lose his
position if he should refuse to pay these assess
ments, and hence we advise all the employees
to respectfully but firmly decline to pay the
amounts demanded Of them by superservice-
able subordinates.

however, are not worth controversy, as they
can be practically determined whenever it may
be necessary to decide them. The main point
of interest to the public in Mr.. Orton's COM
municaton is to be found in the admission
that the Western Union monopoly will make
no reductions In its tariff for some time to
come, and in the attempt to justify tho exist
Ing high rates this declaration will increase
the desire for postal telegraph In the United
States, and will excite the hope that Postmas-
