Cheap Transportation.

The work proposed to be done by the
Cheap Transportation Association is of vital
importance to the prosperity of New York. We
have constantly urged upon the mercantile
classes the absolute necessity which exists for
the adoption Of some measures to insure
cheaper conveyance Of freight to our port if
we do not wish to see our trade gradually
turned into other channels Montreal,
Baltimore and other seaboard cities have
struggled to beat us in the race, and,
though we are still ahead, it will require
energy and foresight to maintain our
position as the Capital of the Continent. The
position lisa magnificent one, and well worth
struggling to keep. Weare glad to see that the
directors of the Cheap Transportation Associa-
ton mean to deal practically with the question,
and wisely begin by showing in what our
merchants are to blame for the loss of trade
we have suffered within the past few years.
While the grain trade of Montreal and Balti-
more has increased nearly two hundred and
fifty per cent since 1856 that of New
York has only increased fifty per
cent This is wholly due to the
want Of cheap transportation and to the ap-
sence of facilities of storage in New YORK.
The railways may have been beyond our con-
troll, but the want of grain elevators and ware
houses can only be attributed TO the lack Oh
enterprise of our merchants.

The Death OF Michelet.

Yesterday we had occasion to announce the
death of representative German. To-day
we print an obituary notice of an eminent
Frenchman-a man long renowned in the
world of letters. M. Michelet was not the
founder Of school or leader of thought in the
sense in which Strauss was; but his writings,
which are multifarious, have largely infu-
enced his countrymen and left deep impress
on the age. As lecturer, as historian, as sci
enlist his ability has been equally revealed. A
Frenchman, through and through, he was yet
German by education and by literary taste.
student of the school of Vico, he regarded
history as philosophy teaching by example.
His History of the French Revolution" is
one of the most readable books in any Ian
guage. His History Of France" larger and
more ambitious work, will long remain q
standard. His 'Life of Martin Luther" is
delightful piece of biography, and, written by
a man who never finally broke off from the
Catholic Church, it must ever be regarded as
one of the noblest tributes ever paid to the
memory of the great German Reformer. His
scientific works on "The Bird" "The In
sect and ''The Sea, reveal the versatility of
his genius but they amuse and delight rather
than instruct. His works on the people"
woman" and Love" long established IA
vorites at the circulating libraries, reveal
fine fancy, warm heart and kindly nature.
Michelet was an enthusiastic liberal, and suf-
fered not little for his services in the liberal
cause. He seems to have had but one hatred;
and the Jesuits have never had more bitter
or rssolute opponent At the ripe age of
seventy-six the old man has gone to his final
rest The fruits, however, of useful and
industrious life remain; and he, being dead,
yet speaketh.

The OLD SOUTH CHURCH in Boston is his
torical; and for this reason everybody who
delights in the landmarks" of our leading
cities would like to see it stand. But the
society has asked the Massachusetts Legisla-
ture for the right to sell or lease the property.
About one hundred and fifty worshippers are
all that will probably attend in future should
Sunday services be resumed, the pewholders
being only thirteen in number and all over
sixty years of age. As the property is worth
over half million an annual outlay Of over
fifty thousand dollars is thought too great for
the venerable thirteen. These considerations
will destroy the ancient structure, though even
the great fire spared it

Practical CHARrrY.-A city firm offers to
contribute one hundred loaves of bread day
for thirty days to any soup house opened in
the Ninth ward This is practical offer, and
we hope that no time will be lost in organizing
soup kitchens in the different police stations
and engine houses. 1t is the most prompt
and effective as well as the cheapest way of
feeding the hungry. If the system was once
put in operation no doubt other parties would
come forward with equal liberality to the aid
of the suffering poor.

CHARITY Box AT THE LEDERKRANz-
One of our correspondents suggests that a
charity box, under the charge of number of
ladies' shall be made a feature of the forth
coming Liederkranz ball. The suggestion is
good one and well deserves attention.
There is, perhaps, no moment when the human
heart is more inclined to be generous than in
such festive scenes, when the vulgar cares of
life are for moment forgotten and cast aside
At such moment the suggestion of the want
and sorrow of others strikes with double
force, and we doubt not that many hundreds
of dollars that might be spent in dissipation
would be turned into the stream of charity if
this excellent suggestion be acted upon by the
Liederkranz Society

SERRANo AND THE CARIIsTs According to
the impartial, Madrid journal, the govern
ment has agreed to an exchange of prisoners
with the Carlists. This is questionable piece
OF intelligence. 1t may prove to be correct,
but 1t seems to Us to make too much of the
Carlist power in the North. If Serrano makes
any such arrangement it must be for some
ulterior purpose.

BEBoH AND THE BOOSTERS. great
champion of the right of animals to the enjoy
ment of health and prosperity achieved quite
triumph yesterday in his raid on the cock
fighters. Battles between ROSTERS were at one
time a very fashionable diversion, but our
increasing tenderness for the feelings of the
brute creation has of late years consigned cock
fighting among the brutal sports. 1t is GER
tainly very cruel, and the law does well to
punish severely men engaged in it, Some
thirty-seven of the fancy were captured in the
raid yesterday, and the Court imposed fine
oftwenty dollars each on the prisoners, so that
they paid pretty dearly for their ROSTERS.
Bergh's men netted some six hundred dollars
by the capture, which will, no doubt, have q
wonderful effect in exciting thirst among
them for new exploits.
