Patny ana whose political power is greater
than that of any other section. He was
asked to please the South, who only
wanted reams Of new paper to .ssaye them
from ruin" He was admonished that the
honor of his administration needed this
bill for its vindication, and he was
entreated by the ablest the most active
the most persistent leaders Of the repub-
lican party. First of all there was Gen.
eral Butler, whose eccentric genius points
to every measure of questionable and audi
cious legislation as unorringly as the needle
to the pole; who, more than any
man in public life, has the amazing
fatality of supporting to-day what the purest
sense Of the nation will regret tomorrow.
General Butler championed imitation, and he
was sustained by Morton and Logan, by
Brownlow and Cameron and the almost un-
broken phalanx of the West and the South.
1t was bold step to take, for the President
has drawn line of demarcation between him
self and the most powerful sections Of his
party.
We do not know what these sections will do,
for their leaders are men of infinite resource
and reckless ability. But they may as well
know that the President in this contest repre-
vast deal to say on this subject since it
came before Congress, but the substance
of our comments has always been that
as q measure of relief imitation is
delusion and o snare; as measure of
national policy crime. We have never
known, and our political history does not
show superstition more pronounced and
deep-seated than this legend, that in some
way the issue of inconvertible currency
would be ''a relief to certain suffering sections
OF the country Heaven knows that there is
no question of ''relief' to any section, and more
especially to the West, our brothers and our
children, and to the South, to whom we owe
chivalrous patience, sympathy and encourage
ment which would not command from the
Northern States their heartiest support. But
to ask us to deliberately violate the solemnly
pledged honor of the nation, to enter upon
course of legislation condemned by all
the precedents and experience Of history,
to dishonor our credit by schemes of midsum-
mer madness, to postpone the happy hour of
resumption day longer than is necessary to
continue in season of peace and prosperity
the desperate expedients Of financial war
legislation is to ask us to do the Office which
Brutus asked Of his comrade at Philippi-to
hold the sword while they threw themselves
uDon it For nothing is more certain tn us
than that the success of this scheme OF infla-
ton would be the first step in pitiful career
of dishonor, misfortune and shame. The
veto will save our brethren of the West
and South from the demagogues who would
lead them into ruin and call it craftsmanship
And the time win come when they will re-
member it to the honor of the President as
an achievement more glorious than vicksburg
and Appomattox. Then he saved the sover-
eighty Of the Union; now he has saved it's
honor.

It appears to be as necessary to s.investi-
gate frauds" under reform" as under Tam
many rule. One of the investigators, Henry
s. Olcott, received $2,657 in little over
three months. Another, Henry F. Taintor
received SIS, 1852 in nine months. A third, r.
g. Hatfield, received $685. in the same
period and drew in addition about 50, 600
from the Board of Apportionment fund. In
the month of March, 1873, 81, 211 was divided
June they drew from the public treasury
50, 1872. All this is in addition to the large
amount paid for salaries in the Finance De-
partment, which department, as we showed
yesterday, spent $4,000 more last year for
running expenses than was expended in 1868
under the corrupt ''ring" rule. r. A. Storrs,
who figures under the Comptrollers soon
tingencies' for expenses at Albany, 1913, is
the old deputy of Connolly, retained as deputy
by Green. Moor Falls, who receives small
pickings for expenses in paying laborers,"
is paid liberal salary out of the public
treasury, although he does the work belong
ing to the Chamberlains Office, and should be
paid out Of the liberal salary of $50, 900
allowed that officer for all the expenses Of his
bureau.
These are plain, undeniable facts, and they
deserve the serious consideration of the tax-
payers, who may well ask if we are still living
in the profigate days of the old Tammany
rule. The services alleged to be thus paid for
by Mr.. Green are the services for which his
clerks are employed and for which he expends
in his Office larger amount in salaries than
was expended by Connolly. If he keeps a
corps of spies and detectives at the city's ex-
pense he should so state in his estimates, and
not cover up the fact under the cloak OF soon
tingencies. And what a commentary it is
on the reformed" city government that the
special services of secret investigators of
frauds" should be required month after month
at heavy cost to the taxpayers! We repeat,
the contingency fraud is almost always a
source of outrage and corruption, and the
best thing the taxpayers could do would be
to employ investigators" to investigate those
who are fastened like so many leeches on the
contingent fund of Comptroller Green 8
Office. 1t is singular that Mr. Green asks this
year an enormous increase in the amount set
apart for contingencies. Last year the city
and county contingency appropriations were
together 100000. This year Comptroller
Green demands their increase to 500, 600,
and this while the legal right to appropriate a
dollar under such head is at least very
doubtful.

The CASE OF CHARLES CocKBURS, indicted
for the murder of James Hadwin nine months
ago, was practically determined in the Court
of Oyer and Terminer yesterday by the dis
charge of the prisoner upon his own recog-

him with the homicide. Nine months is q
long time to keep man in prison awaiting a
trial for an offence of which there is no evil
dence against the accused person.

FREIGHT TRANSPORTATION The report Of
the Committee on Railways and Canals, which
was presented to the House Of Representatives
yesterday and appears in the HERALD this
morning, is full OF truisms. but it scarcely
affords the kind of relief the country will re-.
quire. A freight railroad from New York
to the Missouri River is an acknowl-
edged necessity, but the wisdom of its
practical construction by the govern
ment is more than doubtful Public
works in this country have seldom proved sue
cessful and, though the committee thinks
that the methods by which existing roads are
operated are inadequate to the necessities of
this great line we may we'll doubt whether
the new line would solve all difficulties
merely because ten millions of dollars of the
public money were invested in it. It would
be wiser to charter the road, with proper safe
guards and restrictions, and leave it's con-
struction to private capital and enterprise.

The Fitth Avenue min.

The State Legislature will adjourn in q
week from to-day. We have no hope now Of
the passage of any law that will give us good
roads and clean streets in New York; but at
least we might expect some action in the mat
ter of the Fifth avenue pavement That Gen.
trally located avenue has been kept by COM
mon consent free from the encroachments of
city railroads, and set apart as q public
drive as much as the Park itself Its
present condition, o relic of Tammany
contractors, is disgraceful to the city
and annoying and dangerous to those
who use the avenue as a drive The necessity
and propriety Of its improvement is conceded
by all except the venerable youth at the head
of the city government, whose spirits are ex-
hilarated by the sport of dancing on poultice
pavements and skipping over rutted roads.
But Mr.. Havemeyer knows nothing about
well paved streets, and when he pronounces
Fifth avenue in good enough condition he is
thinking of the wagon roads to Canal street
over which he and his Chief of Police used to
travel three-quarters of century ago. If the
legislators have any desire to do one good act
for the city of New York they will pass law
placing Fifth avenue under the entire control
of the Central Park Commissioners, authoriz-
ing them 10 repave it at once with such pave
ment as they may select and to keep it in
repair and proper condition hereafter.

process of restoration, swill be the time to con-
slider the question of more currency"
There are some recommendations on the
subject of free banking, but upon these we
do not dwell now. Our first duty is to ex-
press to the President our hearty and pro-
found commentator for his brave and
manly act. The veto of this bill will stand
out as the most conspicuous act in his men,
orable and extraordinary career. The very
faults of this message its awkwardness, its
crude statement of facts, its want of rhetorical
show, are 80 many advantages. For we see
that this is the work Of Ulysses s. Grant. Il
knew that Rawdon never wrote that letter.,
says the old aunt in Thackeray's novel,
because he never writes without asking for
money" We know that this is the act OF the
President; his own resolute, clear minded
common sense, and we see in it an
other marked manifestation of the character
that has made him the most celebrated Ameri-
erican of his time. The greatest man is he
who is equal to his opportunity. The Presi-
dent has shown this greatness. He had an
opportunity like Washington when he
signed jays treaty, like Jefferson
IN the purchase Of Louisiana, like
jackson in dealing with notification,
like Lincoln when he signed the Emancipa-
ton Proclamation. His veto will remain in
our political history as one of those shining
acts that certify great mans claim to great
ness He had every temptation to sign the
bill. He was called upon by the West, where
he lived. with whose people he was in SYM

THE following story of young man
who until recently lived in Lawrence,
Mass, is told by the -4merican Of that
city: "He was engaged to be married
to young ladJ of Lawrence, and in the
ardor OF his affection made a number
of presents. Two or three weeks since
the young lady died, after few days
illness, and the grief of the sadly
stricken suitOr was very sad to contem-
plate. Everything that belonged to
her was very dear to him, rendered
doubly so by her untimely taking off.
He prized the few tributes he had given
her to such degree that he couldn't
think for moment of leaving them
with her family. He came with bo1
before the funeral occurred, collected
them very carefully, Daiied them up,
and forwarded them by express to his
home. The sister Of the deceased ex-
pressed 8 desire that she might be al
lowed to retain some small sourenir,
and the disconsolate lover suggested
that perhaps she would like muff. If
so, he was ready to sell it. He wouln't
be mean: il cost him Sl5, aud being
ii va. her, she might have it for $40.
She produced the money, took the mnif,
and the lover after the funeral ceremony
departed ed-doubtless 10 bestow the
presents he had rcgained.
