We have not the time to moralize upon
tho results this week, but append the fol-
loving paragraph from the Glrstt', eI-
lressive of our views:
We have no ugyestlons to offer at
present, as to the proper course to pur-
sus in the future, except to suggest
shat there must be vastly more wis
dom, great deal mora zeal, and
nslch less fanaticism, If practical results
are to be secured through legislation.
And, first OF all, the public conscience
must be aroused. This done, the chief
difficulty in the way OF legislation will b }
removed. Public sentiment must p Q
c"de the enactment of laws. Without
the former, the latter are practically
worthless. AS matters now stand, the

Condition Of Affairs ON the River Fronts

Yesterday.
Matters along the river fronis yesterday, SO far
as the 'longshoremen we're concerned seemed un-
changed. The owners and agents OF the sailing
vessels are paying the old rates IN most instances
but the steamship men, with one or two minor ex.
ceptons, have adhered to their scheduie OF re-
cuced prices with great uuanimEy. On the other
hand the union men seem careless about the
peculiar condition In which they have been placed,
yet take evident pleasure In assuring all
lnquirers that they will never again work
fer the steamship men unless they agree to their
terms. On South street tue impression OF many
OF these locked out laDorers was that they could
continue idle for weeks 70 come witnout being
compelled TO seek their old employers. and would
DO so happen what may They secuted the idea
that tho firms and corporations against which
they are lighting have the least power to work

Just as strong as ever with no signs OF weakness.
Notwithstanding the bold attitude which Is
assumed by them. however. some OF their older
members have cut adri.t rom the relations which
put them IN false position. but this number Is

THE COOPER UNION FREE COURSE.

Lecture ON the ssAncient Glaciers OF the
C0untry'-By Professor Morse.
The large hall OF Cooper Union was filled last
evening with highly intelligent looking audience,
who had come to hear the last OF Professor Morse's
course OF lectures on the "Ancient Glaciers OF the
Country" The platform was so crowded with
ladies and gentlemen that finally not only the new
arrivals had TO be turned in among the ranks. but
several occupied chairs had to be removed 90 that
q full view OF the blackboard upon which the lec-
turer was to illustrate might be had by the audi
ence near the side doors. As usual Peter
Cooper occupied prominent seat on the platform
receiving . hatterlng reception on his arrival.
Professor Morse was introduced Oy Mr.. Hewitt,
Secretary OF the Union who made few remarks
to the effect that in luture the doors would be
closed promptly az eight O'CLOCK, and not re-
opened until the. lecture was over, this course
being found necessary, owing to the disturbance
about seats at the beginning Of former meetings.
Professor Morse, OF course, discussed the subject
OF glaciers fuy, tracing their progress In the Tor.
nation Of the countries, and explaining oil the
theories In regard TO them that had ever been ad-
vanced BY scientists. The lecture lasted the usual
hour.

years family OF seven persons named Mackey.
whose depredations iu thieving and burglary have
been the disgrace OF Stamford and have put to the
test the best enorts OF the authorities TO arrest

men started for the house, which they reached
during the afternoon. AS they approached
the thieves seemed TO have received
warning, took to the woods, and all
escaped except the old man, whose

the house ana remained all night. THIS morning,
the matter having attracted attention, Sheriff
Leeds called on the village military organization,
as stated, to proceed to the capture Of the
offenders. Seventeen men responded, and,
thoroughly armed and equipped, they left
at eleven O'Clock. They secured the woods every

some or the scenes enacted hereabout in 1851 but
no trace or the Mackeys could be found In their
opinion the thieves had departed during the night
for more distant paris and at halfpast three the

notices OF trial were nled by the counsel for the
defence In the Tilton-Beecher case yesterday upon

was also hied. Messrs Morris and Pearsail,
counsel for Mr.. Titon. served a notice OF appeal
from the decision or Judge McCue granting . bill
OF particulars upon Mr.. shearman. Mr.. Beecher's
attorney, yesterday afternoon. The appeal is
taken on the ground that the Court shall not limit
the prosecution on the trial to the proof Of any par
ticuar time aud place. They hold that although the
discretion OF the Court IN granting the order is
not appealable to the Court Of Appeals, so much
OF the order as prohibits the prosecution FROM
proving any other acts than those specified may
be argued upon exceptions taken by the plaintiff
The argument will be heard before Judges Nelson

week.
