Best Organs on Most Favorable Terms,

The new terms offered by the Mason
& Hamlin Organ Company, for the sale
OF their celebrated instruments, create
dissatisfaction with many dealers, who
declare that they will greatly injure the
business of selling other orgaus, espe-
c;alIv by peddlers. By these terms per
son Is allowed TO hire an organ, paying
only a reasonable rent for it-having
the privilege, of course, of returning it
AZ any time after six months, or of pur-
chasing it at any time, If the purchase
is completed within year, the whole
cost of the organ is only five to ten per
cent. more than if all cash had been
D aid at the beginning.
Dealers say this is much too small a
difference for the accommodation in
time. anil privilege of returning, given.
The Mason & Hamlin Company are
determined TO try the experiment thor
ouVhIy at least, being confident that
their organs will prove so attractive and
satisfactory in use that scarcely any viii

ART NOTES.

There Is on exhibition at the Somerville Gallery
an interesting collection OF paintings. There are
several works by native artists who have studied
abroad which display great power, and show
clearly the benefit our young men derive from
study in the European art centres. A landscape
BY Dubois Is especially worthy OF note for the
splendid quality OF the WORK. 1t Is strong study
from nature ana the way In which the light ana
shade are trea ed Is worthy OF the strongest com.
mendation. The atmospheric effects. too, are well
rendered. Several works by james Crawford
Thorn, an artist who won much distinction In
Europe, form part OF the collection. Among these.
"A Religious Procession OF Brittany Peasants on
Christmas Eve" and "A Brittany shepherd Watch
ing His Flock" are full OF charming sentiment,
and are painted with unusual technical skill.
There are a large number OF works by European
artists, ana though the examples are not OF the
highest merit the collection will well repay a
visit.
The Lotos Club held its art reception last night,
and goodly display OF paintings by our native
artists was made upon It's walls. These art re-
ceptions are very enjoyable AFFAIRS and do the
artists and the clubs great deal OF good.
Among the attractions at Goupips gallery are
two beautiful busts by Lawlor, the well known
London sculptor. The head OF Argyra especially Ia
classically beautiful. The modelling is at once
delicate and firm, and the execution bespsaks the
trained chisel.
Several young American artists who have lately
returned from Europe are going back IN disgust
Tney are better patronlzeo by foreigners than ~
their own countrymen.
David Johnson mas just completed o charming
picture which he calls "A view at Ramapon and an
othsr landscape which we consider hts best work.
1t is view at Warwick, painted with unusual
strength.

Christmas Thoughts In the Pulpits.
The festival of Christmas and the approach
ing end of the year give the pastors an excel
lent opportunity and an additional inspira-
tion, if they need one, to call men to
repentance. Very many Of our city pastors
will, therefore. make these events the basis of
one or more of their dscourses to-day The
Rev. Mr. Alger will show how we may abuse
as well as use these events in our annual
retrospection, while Mr.. Hepworth will help
his people to take an account of moral stock
previous to embarking on another years
voyage. He will also repeat his sermon of
last Sabbath, by request on 'The Outlook
too, will have some thoughts to
offer on Christmas and on the New
Year as apropos to those who have allowed
another year to pass without having made
their peace with God. The Rev. Mr.. Corbit
will also preach q Christmas sermon this
morning, and in the evening will take peep
into eternity. And as time and eternity are
nearly related to each other DR.. Porteous
will probably tell us what they are and what
is their relationship. Dr.. Miller will have
something to say about the Christ child also
and Mr.. Hawthorne will revive the Sacred
Memories" of the season and of the year, and
will invite his people to accept the joy-pro-
ducing elements OF Christianity instead of its
melancholia. ''The Star in the East will
enable Dr.. Armitage to guide his congrega-
| ton to where the infant Redeemer NAV he
found, so that they can offer the material gifts
of their hands as well as the homage of their
hearts,

A Good beginning.

The removal of the Commissioners uf
Charities and Correction by Mayor Vance is Q
good beginning in the work of purifying and
reforming the municipal departments. Tho
Department of Charities and Correction
has been in no greater need of reform
than other departments of the city govern.
ment. There has been SO much Of personal
intrigue in the municipal Offices that the pub
lie interests have been almost wholly over
looked. The Fire Department, the police the
Finance Department, the DOCKS have been
managed as though they were the personal per-
quisites of their heads. One Police Commits
sioner has claimed this appointment the
other that. One Dock Commissioner has had
his friends to provide for and another has
been in similar position. This Fire Com
missioner has been watchful of one con-
tractors interests, while his associates have
looked after the interests Of others. In
the Finance Department the people
have been altogether ignored. Its
pragmatical head has assumed not only
to be supreme in the management of the city
finances, but to rule all other departments of
the city government The Comptroller's Office
and its bureaus have been asylums for the
partisans of its chief, and have cost the city
double the amount for which they could be
managed as business Offices. The work of
publication commenced by Mayor Vance can
now be vigorously pursued by Mayor Wick
ham. Its necessity is acknowledged, and the
changes demanded cannot be attributed to
partisanship AS the most important reform
is that relating to our financial policy Mayor
Wickham's first duty will be to deal with the
Comptroller. When he has turned out Andrew
H. Green and placed the city finances in capa-
BILE hands he can then turn his attention to
other departments and complete the work SO
well started by Mayor Vance.
The New York herald., 1874-12-27
Green's Economy.

Mayor Wickham will of course require
from Comptroller Green an explanation of
his relation to the misconduct for which the
Commissioners of Charity were 80 properly
removed by Mayor Vance. 1t appears, and
the fact was shown in the HERALD nearly q
year ago, that bills in excess of one thousand
dollars were illegally incurred by the Com
missioners but these bills were paid by the
Comptroller. How was this? Was the
Comptroller deceived? Where, then, is that
vigilance for which he makes the city pay so
enormously? Was he party to the game of
the Commissioners? Where, then, is his
honesty? 1t does appear that he must have
been one or the other-ether a party TO the
game or dupe of the players-and the Mayor
should call upon him to explain which he
was. Good-natured people would like to
believe that he was dupe only, but there are
difficult facts in the way. He is for instance,
peculiarly on the alert for games of this sort
He fully appreciates that the most important
function of his Office is to watch against them
He has greatly increased the burden of clerk
hire, ostensibly that he might the better be
prepared for this service, and yet his prepa-
rations are bald failure, Could his experts
not see through the thin pretence of division
of bills to make smaller sums than thousand
dollars? Nonsense. If they were experts
they knew; and if they knew it was Green's
duty to require contract before the payment
of the bills. In that duty he failed. For
what reason? This is as much case for
his removal as tor the removal of the Com
missioners.

PETTIs, THE FoRGER. Spencer Pettis, the
forger, who is now residing in the Massachu-
setts State Prison, tells story, which will be
found in our news columns, of the manner in
which he was imposed upon in the Bolles
forgery case by sharpers sharper than himself.
He has petition for pardon, which he
is very anxious for the Governor to sign,
and if that functionary only complies with
his request he promises to come to New York
and reveal much about the recent forgeres of
railroad bonds and throw a food of light
besides on the true character of the New
York detectives. The latter, he insists. are
using their influence to prevent him from
getting out Of prison.

Mayor Wickham's Duty-What Should
BE His First Act.

The proper management of the city finances
nicipal government. An intelligent, compre-
hensive and well defined financial policy is
the best safeguard against mismanagement in
all the public departments. Since Andrew
81. Green has held the Office of Comptroller
the people have not been vouchsafed any full
information as to their financial condition.
In the Board of Apportionment, to which is
assigned the duty of fixing the amount to be
levied annually by taxation for the support of
the government, one OF the members de-
clared, day or two ago, that it was impossi-
BILE to obtain from Comptroller Green full
and satisfactory statement of the city debt.
Here is 5 board called upon to provide what
amounr.'of the public money shall be ap-
propriated for interest, and the financial
officer of the city is unable or unwilling to
tell its members how much the city owes In
removing the Commissioners of Charities and
Correction Mayor Vance charges upon those
officials criminal violation of duty in having
made purchases Of supplies, without con-
tracts. in amounts forbidden by the law and
at fraudulent prices. The removed Commits
sioners could not have committed this official
wrong if the Comptroller, whose duty requires
him to scrutinize such accounts, had not been
neglectful of that duty or willing party to
the offence. The Corporation Counsel, who
ton, reports hundreds of suits against the
city involving about ten million dollars
These are necessitated by the obstinate refusal
of the Comptroller to pay debts owing by the
city, against which he is advised there is no
possible defence.
These evils should be terminated by Mayor
Wickham as soon as he enters upon the duties of
his Office. One Of his first official acts should
be the removal of Comptroller Green. The
charter requires the Mayor to communicate
to the Common Council at least once year a
general statement Of the finances OF the city,"
No particular time is fixed for this statement,
but in view of the unsatisfactory condition of
our financial management it cannot be made
too soon by Mayor Wickham. 1t is duty he
owes to himself to enable the people to know
their exact financial condition and to initiate
new financial policy at the commencement
of his term of Office. He cannot do this until
he rids the city of financial charlatanism. His
removal OF Andrew H. Green will be indorsed
by Governor nlden in accordance with demo-
cratic principle, and with man of brains and
integrity in the Comptroller's Office our finan-
cial affairs can soon be redeemed from their
present confusion.

CHINA AND JAPAN-Elsewhere we give an
perhaps, was averted the war between China
and Japan, that seemed imminent as a conse-
quence of the japanese expedition to Formosa-
Our correspondence will well repay an atten-
tive perusal on the part of all persons
interested in the relations of the two great
Eastern pupils of Western thought. China
never made more characteristic appearance
in any negotiation whatever, and the pecu-
liar tone and temper of the resolute and prac-
tical japanese are equally clear. The ulti-
mate point in the case-the actual result of
the negotiations-was given first in our
columns some weeks since; but the story of
the negotiations is now told for the FIRST time.
The New York herald., 1874-12-27

faunted in the faces of all comers. As a man
blessed with constant good health never pa
rades the fact that he is well, so man whose
integrity is part of his nature never thinks
OF trumpeting to the world that he is an hon.
est man. When person gets uncomfortable
about what he is pleased to call his ''honesty,
attempts to trade on it politically, and does all
sorts of odd and outrageous things to adver-
tise il, people are apt to conclude that repu-
tation that needs such perpetual propping
rests on frail foundation. As chaste wo-
man shrinks from having her chastity made
topic of common discourse, as if it were
point open to doubt and requiring constant
succession of proofs, so men of genuine
integrity are offended by instead of
not knaves. Really honest men prize honesty
for itself and not as political capital to trade
on. They do not assume, as Mr.. Green does,
that most other men are rogues, because those
who are virtuous themselves find it easy to be-
heve in the virtue of others When Mayor
Wickham removes the Comptroller he will
have no difficulty in finding successor whose
honesty is not a perpetual source of discom-
fort. We have already mentioned few of
the many excellent names from which the new
Mayor could make a popular and creditable
selection. Among them are-John J. Cisco,
Frederick Tappen, President OF the Gallatin
National Bank w. Seymour, the ex-Presi-
dent of the New York Stock Exchange John
L. Agnew, E. p Fabbri, of the firm of Fabbri
u Chauncey (; Edward Cooper, John S. Hume
and Abel Dennison, retired merchant and
President of the Warehouse Company and
we will DOW add the name of George S. For
rest, at present one of the Commissioners of
Emigration. 1t is libel on the city to say
that it has but one honest man competent to
be Comptroller, and ridiculous satire to
contend that that one honest man is Andrew
II. Green.
The New York herald., 1874-12-27

THE GRAND DUKE NICHOLAS, nephew of the
Gar, who has been declared insane by an i'm
perial ukase, is the same royal parsonage who,
some months ago, robbed his mother of her
jewels to give them to an American adventures.
That scandal is fresh in the memory of the
American public, and is, no doubt the cause of
the declaration of the Grand Duke insanity.
There was no other way, probably, of dealing
with his offence and saving the honor of the
imperial family of Russia.

Doors AND SHOES FOR THE NEBRASKA SUr-

an abundant supply of clothing is anticipated
from the benevolent Boots and shoes for
ladies and children are what are now most

THE BEEcHER CASE came up in the Brook
lyn City Court yesterday and gave the oppos-
ing counsel opportunity for spirited Pick
wickian debate, which had little to do with
the question. 1t was finally agreed that the
argument upon the appeal from Judge
McCue's order for bill Of particulars from
Mr.. Tilton should take place tomorrow, when
the time for the trial will be fixed. Thus far
the trial seems to have been not to appoint
any time whatever.
