A RIGHTEOUS DEBT.

Gen. Candy WAS buried in Indianapolis last
Friday, with imposing funeral ceremonies, the
expenses of which were betrayed by the pub
lie. If it had depended upon his own fortune
he could scarcely have been buried at all.
This famous soldier who had spent his life in
the service of his country, who had never been
intrusted with duty which he did not faith
fully perform, and had never been placed in a
position where be did not win the well-con-
sdered approval of all who were able to judge
him, did not leave money enough behind him
10 bury him with decorum. He had been q
dozen years general He had held the highest
administrative and executive positions in the
military service. He had commanded armies,
and had exercised absolute power over de-
partments embracing tho space Of an empire.
Yet when he died he left his widow penni-
less. He was one of the Oldfashioned public
men who never made money out of their
places 1t probably never occurred to him in
his life that he had anything to do but his
duty. He was hard student all his life, o
severe and relentless disciplinaran The time
and energy which other officers, not less hon
est OF honorable than himself, devoted to i'm
proving their pecuniary condition, were all
wasted by him in the intimate details of mill
tary administration. He might have said, as
Agassz said in reply to very lucrative
offer, " that he had no time to make money!
He did not squander his modest salary in
ostentation nor even in hospitality, like many
of his class. He never kept open house. He
had as little time for society as he had for
money making. He was genial and kindly to
his friends, but not very accessible, and en-
joyed his own home most when there were
no strangers present The reason why he
saved no money during his life was that if
anything was left after his expenses were paid,
he always gave il away. A man or woman
poorer than himself had an unanswerable
claim upon him. His charity was as unpre-
tending IS his other virtues. He never ad-
vertised himself as q giver, but the wretched
knew him by their unerring instinct
aud punctuslly plundered him of his
last penny. We do not mean 10 ap-
prove without reserve course Of life SO
Destitute of providence and wholesome hard
ness Of sense. But 40 Gar rs We know, il was
General Canby's only fault, and no needed
some such blemish to make him human. He

THE CENTENNIAL COMMITTEE.

The first Newly York meeting of the Executive
Committee of the National Centennial of 1875
was held on Tuesday at the Fifth Avenue
Hotel, and resumed yesterday. An account OF
their proceedings is given elsewhere. This meet
ing was obviously a step in the right direction,
and was dictated by very wise forecast and
the same manly good sense and discretion
which, according to the best Judgment we are
able to form. have characterized all the initiate
action of the gentlemen who have had this
matter in hand. Naturally enough, in all
measures merely preliminary, Philadelphia
was the appropriate scene of action, and the
unwonted zeal and liberality of her citizens
and authorities showed themselves in so sub
stantial form as to remove all those doubts
az to ultimate success which those at dis
lance are so apt to cherish. Success by local
liberality being apparently secured, the Exec
utiye Committee did right and polite thing
in coming to New-York to ascertain by per-
sona intercourse what amount of cooperation
they could count On-what our patriotic and lib
eral citizens were willing to do to make the
COmmemoration of Independence worthy OF
the country and the Occasion-and what prac-
teal and business steps should be taken to make
this accord effective
Our Philadelphia friends cOncede that the
course of the accredited New-YOrk press has
been throughout generous and friendly. and
this when there were or might be imagined
inducements to different course. For what
ever carping and fault-fnding there have been,
Philadelphia is more responsible than we. So
far as we can effect it, we mean this friendly
spirit to continue and to be invigorated, and
earnestly wish the Committee success in
effecting the cooperation they seek TO bring
about.

AID INTERIM POLITICS.

There was something so elevatiDg and IN
spring about our politics during the five or
six months, indeed almost year before the
adjournment of Congress, that it seemed too
bad to shut down suddenly upon the civilizing
and Christianizing influences that were radi-
ating from Washington during that time. So
steps were taken to get together as many OF
that noble body Of men AZ possible at St.
Louis soon after the adjournment, in order not
only to continue the discussion but to keep
them massed for public admiration. How they
met and gazed at each other and listened TO
eloquent remarks from Governors and Mayors,
and admired the Father of Waters and Of
Brandy and Waters, and sat down to frequent
banquets and wrestled with the succulent
lamb and the elusive pea, and conducted
themselves like Congressman, has been told
already. The citizens of the great and grow
ing City of st. Louis set up this section of
Congress and went round it and fed it and
admired it and had good Itime, as did also
the Congressman. They talked for the most
part about canals and navigation: specially
and particularly the proposed canal to connect
the Mississippi River with the Atlantic Ocean,
and the proposition to deepen and improve
the mouth of the Mississippi River.
Meantime the Congressman improved their
own alimentary canals and kept their
own mouths open. After they had
eaten and drank what the ST. Louis people set
before tbem and listened to what the St.
Louis people had to say about the resources
of the Great West they took an excursion to
somewhere, and at last accounts were on it.
1t is not probable that the Convention will
d.; the canal or deepen the mouth Of the
Mississippi, but it served to keep up the in
terest in politics and to exhibit some Of the
men who rose fifty per cent on the hands of
the Government and took the rise themselves
A little later, in order to keep up the interest
in political subjects, they had Convention
"of Governors at Atlanta, Ca And they
talked about Transportation which they
said was "the great question of the age.n
They discussed it at much length, and finally
decided that whatithey wanted WAS canal
in fact several canals. How many Governors
there were in the meeting We have no idea
but as there were l47 votes cast on one ques-
ton, we suspect they lugged in some bogus
ones. Nor do we know precisely why the
Governors should be convoked to discuss the
transportation problem and demand more
canals. Why not Mayorsf or constablesi
They seem. however, 10 have discussed the
question temporarily and with moderation,
and to have behaved themselves throughout
like Governors. They closed their deliberations
with what correspondent of one of the papers
calls "the stately mazes Of the cotillion" =
These little affairs serve W keep alive our.

Senator James Woods proposition to gerry
mander the Senate districts of the State has
come to grief. The Conference Committee on
the disagreeing votes of the two branches OF
the Legislature report in favor of leaving the
districts as they are now. Mr.. Wood wanted
to make the judicial districts the basis of ap-
portionment 1t is possible that compro-
mise was effected in the Conference
Committee on two highly undesirable schemes.
The iniquitous plan designed to give major
ity of the Senate to the minority in the States
population has failed, to be sure; but the
amendment proposed to do away with special
legislation has failed also, the Conference
Committee having stricken out those sections
of Article 3 which were intended to cure the
evil. The disapproved sections provided
that no local. special or private
bill should be introduced after the
first sixty days of legislative session
have expired, except by a two-thirds vote of
consent; also, that no such law should en-
brace more then one subject, and that no law
should be revived or amended by reference to
its title only. The report made last night
favors this special and highly Objectionable
class of legislation. 1t is discOuraging state

lege of deciding for themselves whether they
