Attorney General Williams has decided that
interest shall be paid on the certificates of the
Board of Public Works of the District. If
any large proportion of these is held by
the Freedman's Bank, few people Will be
found to begrudge the payment. By
the bye, we hope that no political
considerations as to its effect on the can
yass, will be allowed to delay the promised
inquiry into TIE affairs of that Bank. Its

Tn the coming report of the accounts of the
Navy Department, prepared by the Fourth
Auditor of the Treasury. there is one feature
that will excite remark. The number OF de-
linquent paymasters has not been reduced
and they have not been prosecuted. whether
this unseemly leniency is to be laid at the
doors of the late administration OF the Treas
ury is an inquiry now in order.

If we can believe one of the Vienna jour
nails the Schleswig question, in its most recent
form, is set at rest for the present. Germany
is said to have admitted the possibility of
mistakes by subordinate officials and promised
more care in the future. There is nothing
improbable in this report Such course on
the part of Germany, beside being COM
mendable, will be considered a rare act Of
grace when it is remembered that the cOnces-
sion is made by very powerful State to one
so weak as Denmark.

The rage for libel suits has extended to Salt
Lake City. Judge Mexican has called upon
Grand Jury to investigate the charges made
against him by one newspaper and copied by
another, and to indict the editor of the latter
if they prove untrue. Judge McKean's course
has made many bitter enemies, and it is not
surprising that they say hard things about
him; but nothing except knowledge of the
facts as stated can justify the aspersion OF
which he now complains.
New-York tribune., 1874-10-20

President Laimbeer's resignation does not
seem to indicate any material change IN the
Board of Charities and Correction. There is
no evidence that it is connected with the re-
cent investigation of their affairs. The Board,
of which he still remains member, have all
along shown that they are very well con-
tented with themselves, and the change OF
Presidency is probably in compliance with
custom of rotation in office.
New-York tribune., 1874-10-20

We are advised that Gen. Dix is to be
serenaded, some evening this week, and is to
take advantage of the occasion to express
himself strongly against the Third Term. 1t
will be an act worthy of the Generals sound
political opinions, but not creditable to his
political sagacity. He was serenaded two
days after the Convention which nominated
him had listened approvingly to Third Term
speeches from its leaders, and cOnspicuOusly
lodged the subject in its resolutions. Then
was his opportunity. Ii he had made then

Gen. Banks's prospect as an Independent
candidate in the Vth Congress District of
Massachusetts is much improved by the action
of the Democratic Convention in making no
nomination. The refusal of that body to throw
sop to the Labor RefOrmers will not hurt
the Generals canvass, as his hold upon the
working men of Charlestown and Lynn is toll
erably secure. and those cities make up nearly
half the District. But Mr.. G0och, the present
Republican candidate, had majority at the
last election of 4,4OO in 2O,5OO, and it is by no
means certain that the additions to Gen.
Banks's vote this year will be sufficient to
carry the field.
New-York tribune., 1874-10-20

1t is reported that Mr.. Van Mort, the pres
ent Commissioner of Public Works, is to be
the Republican candidate for Mayor. Con-
troller Green has been in the habit of de-
claring that Mr.. Van Mort was put into office
by Tweed, whose clerk he had been,
and has proved his apt pupil. if not
his representative and successor. But
Controller Green is very apt to say things
of this sort about his opponents. Mr.. Van Mort
is not the sort of man we should like to see
as Mayor of this great city. But there are no
present indications that we shall see it, and,
for that matter, it has been some time since
we have had reason to be proud of our
Mayors any way.
New-York tribune., 1874-10-20

The Custom house nominees for Congress in
this city seem so far to be either little known
or Unknown men. We are sorry that at least
in the one or two Districts in which there
may be a possibility of their electing their
candidates. they did not try to improve upon
Tammany. But Tammany made no nomina-
ton so contemplate as that of Mr.. Chas. 5.
Spencer, and the Administration managers
have made none so admirable as that of
Abram s. Hewitt.

Bloodshed and disturbance still mark the
progress OF the canvass in Louisiana, but they
are confined to struggles between factions OF
the Republican party. The colored citizens
have been taught to rely upon force and vio-
lence in politics, and have learned their lesson
only too WELL Nevertheless there are cheering
features in this contest, and the fact that In
many cases the cOlored voters join hands with
the whites in seeking reform is sure sign of
imnrovpment

Gen. Miies's expedition reports a good pros
pect of driving the Indians against whom he
was sent into surrender either to him or
the Cheyenne agency. This is probably
the concluding act in Indian warfare
for long time to come. 1t is
in accordance with the original plan of the
campaign, by which several commands were
sent to distant points and thence gradually
brought together, so as to corral" the rowing
bands that have hitherto escaped pursuit
after their depredations.

French Committed for Trial-Over-
vhclming Testimony Against Him.
Justice Keese rendered his decision yesterday
IN the case OF Lewis E. French, charged with con.
spring with one Sacia to deiraud the people OF
NewJersey py maintaining bogus concern under
the title Of "The Paisade Fire Insurance Company
Of Jersey City," The Justice In rendering his
decision said that there was no doubt that
the conclusion was Irresistible that
conspiracy had been entered into to defraud the
people OF the State under the pretence OF organ
izing an insurance company purporting to have
capital 1t did not possess. Among the papers OF
the so-caled company were twelve mortgages,
two assignments OF mortgages and twelve bonds.
In every case the signatures were forged and the
acknowledgment was iraudulcntly taken But Tor
the act passed at the late session OF the
Legislature, requiring the Secretary OF State
to examine the affairs OF all insurance companies,
this bogus concern might have thrived and nOur-
ished for years without fear OF detection. Even
the aflidaviIs In the case were forReries. French
was 80 bold as to testify he did not attend the
were consulted 1t appeared very plainly that ne
did attend the meetings. In conclusion Justice
Reese SAID that French was beyond all
question party to the conspiracy to
delraud, and because OF his position
Secretary he must have guilty knowledge Of the
fraud; tnat being q stOckhoder Ia the company
he was Interested In the success OF the fraud, and
that he committed the overt act necessary to con-
stitute the conspiracy by signing a false state
ment OF the condition OF the company. French
must therefore be remanded for trial. the question
OF pail to be fixed hereafter.

To-Morrow a Great Day In Israel.
This evening will commence the Day of Atone

the sun ON Monday. That will be the great day
OF the least. Usually the synagogues are crowded
on that day as on no other day in the year, and
SO anxious are the faithful to gather together lor
the worship of God on that day that temporary
synagogues are improvised in halls ana public
places, where those too poor to pay for seats IN
the grander and more arlst0cratic synagOgues can
enjoy the services OF the day without cost.
Wealthy lsraelites pay for these privileges Tor
their poorer brethren. All day long these places
of worship will be kept open and one, two or
three sermons will be delivered in each. Such
congregations as have no rabbi or minister usually
get one Of their smartest laymen TO de-
on those great days. For, according TO
the Jewish theory, they are ali priests--a

day was appointed for It's observance, yet to this
hour 1t IS sOlemnlzed with the same rigor as on

the lold back to the good road and cause them to
serve Israel's God with faithiulness. This day Is
