''Grant Congressman and influential repub-

We hope this news is not premature for we
really want good republican ''organ' in
New York. New York is not healthy place
for "organs," and the President must feel
nervous and lonely, as he opens the New
York journals, without knowing whether he is
to have honey or NORWOOD. A good, sound,
substantial ''organ" is a good thing to have in
a city. You always know where to find it.
You are sure to see the official advertisements.
But New Workers are queer in their ways.
They do not crave "organ" literature, and even
Custom House people would rather read what
is said against the President than what is said
in his favor. Another trouble with "organs"
is that they dc not generally have SUBJ
scribers or advertisements. A machine

COMPULSORY EDUcAT1os.-H viii be seen
from our Albany news of this morning that
the bill providing for the compulsory educa-
ton of children was yesterday passed by the
State Senate. 1t is right and proper that no
child should be allowed 10 grow up to claim
the rights of citizen Of the United States
without having enjoyed the advantages of q
common school education. Parents, of
course. have right to educate their children
where and how they please; but the State
has right to say that they must be educated
More and more compulsory education will be-
come Law among the civilized nations. 1t has
long been the law in Prussia, where it has
worked wonders. 1t is now the law in Eng
land, and. sooner or later, the principle will
tss adopsed hv all the States of the Union.

The MANUEL MuRDER in Rockland county
forms the subject of an interesting but terri
BILE story in the HERALD this morning. Two
men named Murphy are in jail charged with
the offence, but no definite proofs of their
guilt exist, and there are suspicious of the
criminal being another person. The crime
is the result of family jealousies, and it is to
be hoped the identity of the murderer will
soon be established

Two RAILROADS IN WISCONSIN refuse to COM

that they cannot pay dividends if they reduce
the rates. This, we suppose, will be the argu-

It appears to us that the venerable Chief
Magistrate of this metropolis, who gets awfully
older and older every day, is not conspicu-
GUS success in the political circus. He does
not ride two horses galloping in opposite
directions with the splendid ease which gives
the feat its real charm when practised by
younger athletes, but which is Immediately
seen through by the public when performed
by very old men who have to do it slowly,
and SO give the lockers on who should be
dazzled by the dashing brilliance of the act.
an opportunity to analyze it while in prog
ress.
Obviously the old gentleman letter to the
Lieutenant Governor leads to such conolu-
sion. 1t suits him very well to ride the Gus
tom House horse, to meet the Custom House
propositions more than half way, and to make
any tair bargain for the good results he hopes
from such an alliance; but he must necessa-
rily ride the democratic horse also, for 4
would not do to imperil the bird in the hand;
1t would not do to be chronicled as rene
gade and shut out as traitor. Hence
the letter framed to put him right with
his democratic supporters, to present
him to the public az champion Of the rights
of the city-ot those rights the maintenance
of which has always been the democratic
policy. All the time, of course. the dear old
gentleman knows that his letter win have no
effect on the Legislature. Care has, Of course,
been taken to let them all know that it ia
written only in a Pickwickian sense, other.
wise dreadful consequences might be appre-
hended; for, old as be is, he is tremendously
eloquent and he might have persuaded some.
body
Evidently the bill to give the Mayor thu
appointment of Police Commissioners win
pass the House, as it has passed the Senate,
despite the resolute opposition of the demo-
Gratis and SO the Custom House appointments
will be made But we doubt If the Mayors
well pretended opposition to tina measure will
deceive the democrats and if it does NOT
what must happen? The poor old gentleman
will fall, dreadfully hurt between his two
horses, for the democrats will visit his crime
upon his head. What the Custom House may
promise would be small compensation for
what the democrats could give; but when the
Custom House finds that the democrats have
left him he will lose all respect in official eyes,
and his new friends will drop him also.
Then all the people will be called upon to pity
the sorrows Of poor old man, or he may send
around his hat inscribed with the famous OBJ
servation that Belisarius would be grateful
for trife. His glory will be gone.

Prince Napoleon to attend the recent tate at

A CRISIS IN ENoLAND.-The labor question
is assuming great importance in England, and
it would not at all surprise us if there were to
be s'crisis' arising out of the present agri-
cultural lockout, the end Of which no one
can foretell. Newmarket ia the centre of the
agitation, and we learn by cable that at
meeting held there yesterday MI. Wood, an
Englishman for some time resident in Ohio.
had announced that he knew Of any quantity
of laborers now in Ohio who would gladly go
to England and work for fourteen shillings q
week. As fourteen shillings may be esti-
mated in our money as about four dollars,
we are afraid that the oratory Of Mr.. Wood
was like the heather Chinee, with intent to
deceive. The statement is untrue and absurd.
If Mr.. Disraeli is really a statesman let him
address himself to this labor question. Nome
graver has been known in the history of Eng
land.

skilled workmen for his work, and not upon his

gentlemen, ''who, either during many years
residence or prolonged visits OF Rome, through
the whole period of Mr.. Storys residence
there, have watched the progress Of his works
in their various stages, from their first sketch

against an honorable life Of devotion to art,

How THE WESTERN Press STANDS The
Chicago Tribune has taken the trouble to col
lect some statistics as to the sentiment Of the
Western press on the Presidents late veto,
and it discovers that, ''of the 116 examined,
81 sustain the veto AZ oppose it and 10 have
expressed no opinion sufficiently decisive to
tell where they stand" Our own examine
tion of the press of the country shows that the
papers Of the West stand about Us two in
favor to one opposed; those of the South,
about equally divided those of Pennsylvania,
about two in favor of the veto to one against,
and those of New York and New England with
the exception Of one journal in Oswego and one
in New Haven) unanimously in accord with

JAPANESE c CARPENTERS. The Japanese car
penterS are very ingenious Workmen, and thelr
work is done with marvellous neatness. a Gu
rious feature of their houses IS, that they, 90
not contain nail, all Of the joints and tlmbers
being dovetailed together by many ingenious
devices; and the whole work, even to the, raj,
tiers, is as smooth as fit had been pohshed
down with sandpaper Aud the Japanese are
y neat neople: for they use no paint to hide
any blemsh of construction or ornamentation
no 6lgree-work or plaster OF Paris geW-g a~s
but every stick in the building is exposed. =
Every morning, as regular as she cooks the
breakfast or sweeps the floor, the japanese
housewife takes a wet cloth and scours the
whole interior of the dwelling, leaving no part
untouched and no stain or dirt spot TO mar Its
cleanly appearance. Then the Japanese do not
come into the house with muddy boots, after
the STYLE of the American sovereign; but, hay
ing covered the floor with neat mating, always
remove the dirty sandals before stepping upon
it. ~.
I stood and watched the japanese carpen-
tiers at their work for some minutes, and motto
ed the popularity of their movements. The
japanese carpenter works toward him that is
instead of showing the plane from him., he
reaches out, sets the plane upon q board at
arm S length, and pulls it toward him; and ne
cuts saws and chops in the same way. His
saws are fixed in handles, like butcher S cleav-
er and the teeth slant or rake towards the han
dle.-The planes are constructed like ours, but
the wooden portion is very thin and wide. The
adze is fastened to the end of a hoped stick
like the handle of one of the crooked canes worn
on the arm on our streets; and although their
tools are very different from ours, yet cannot
observe that they are very awkward ID appear
ance or very awkwardly Neutrality-suspicious. Cor.
respondent.
A PARIS letter-writer explains the meaning
of the nickname "Plon Pion, which is given
to Prince Napoleon, thus: You have seen those
little soldiers, which are SO constructed that,
being placed upon their feet they prove tor
heavy instantly, turn over and stand on their
heads. French children style these playthlngs
"Plon-P lon," that is, "made Of lead, and you
can understand how ridiculous such nickname
rendered the Prince, who, whenever he was
started off upon any military mission, was lneV-
itably recalled just in the nick OF time to make
it seem that he was running from possible dan
ger. The French are keenly alive to the rldl-
culous, and they eagerly seized upon the oppor-
tuuity offered for laugh or sneer by the nick,
name Of the Prince, and it became an accepted
idea that be was a coward. This impression
gained ground from the fact that when cha!-
lenged by the Duke d'Aumae, some years
since, to fight duel, and having let 1t appear
that he would meet the Duke. the Prince re-
ceived the Imperial mandate to refrain.
