Washington aud New-Orleans are continually


It is q singular anomaly that tho whole
banking community Of this city, the District
Attorney of the county, and the Governor OF
the State of New York, should be praying for
the pardon of the notorious forger, Spence
Pettis, now convict in Massachusetts. But
when it is understood, as appears by the doc
uments published elsewhere, that his testimony
is necessary to the conviction of the most
skillful gang of forgers and counterfeiters OF
securities now in tho country, the petitions
will be universally joined in. The confession
of the convict assures his early reconviction'
and to District Attorney Phelps his testimony
appears sufficient to convict the others. 1t Is
a matter of some regret to find by this con-
fcssion that suspicious are again directed
toward two of the Detective force OF this
city, the same against whom the Bank OF En-
gland last year made complaint OF completely
with the forger MacdOnncll. The charges OF
conyicts do not usually count for much
AGAINST those who are set to catch them. but
the fact that tho District-AttOrney evidently
credits Pettis justifes the Board of Police in
the thorough investigation it is making in the
matter. The standing of the Detective force
Of this city Is not so high tnat charges OF the
kind referred to can be allowed TO pass un-
needed. 1t is duo alike to the service and the
officials thus implicated for the second time
that the facts should be investigated.

MITES,

It must be admitted that the great sums
which rich men bestOw are sometimes exceed
ingly impressive; and it is ungenerOus, un-
gracious, and substantially unjust to reckon
the difference between what they give and
what they keep. At the same time, we may
properly enough consider that those who en-
dow hospitals colleges, and other permanent
institutions build their own monuments; they
are for generations remembered through their
good works, which not seldom perpetuate their
names; while to give greatly out of abundance,
is easier than to give a little out of narrow
means. 1t is well enough known that enor-
nous legacies for charitable uses are often
wasted in their administration, so that it has
become quito a custom among men benevO-
lently disposed to give while living,
and sometimes personally to superintend
the dispensation of their bounty; and
this was done notably by Peabody, Vas
sar, Cornell James Lick, and Gerrit Smith.
All who bestOw their aims in these days of
much-needed charity may do substantially the
same thing, knowing to whom and for what
they give, aud the nature of the machinery which
their donations will help to keep in motion.
When we dlate with awe and admiration at
man, we ought to remember the sacrifices of
those who spare something out of their meager
store and who do what they can to alleviate
the misery which, greater sometimes than
usual, is never more than modified. Always
somebody ID in want. Always trife may be
treasure to some suffering man, woman, or
child. Always the command to "Help one
"another" is in order in this world of chances
and changes
1t is remarkable that the charity symbolized
in the inspired writings is oftenest made to
assume modest proportions. We read of the
widows mite and of the cup of cold water
rendered to the sick, and of particular gar
ments bestowed upon the naked. The benev-
olence of the New Testament never assumes
large, public, and corporate forms-it is a
giving from hand to hand, an immediate and
personal work, a kindness which the poor
can show toward the poorer, and which is
without that Ostentation against which We are
specifically warned. 1t may help us to UNDER
stand the economical as well as the moral
truth of this modest doctrine to consider how
very far little will sometimes 90, and at
what cheap rate, 30 far as cash Is con-
cerned, we may purchase the blessings OF the
suffering and the needy. For instance there
is Young Mems Christian Association in
Davenport, Iowa, which, according to the
annual report before us, has this year been
able to dispense only $780, sum which seems
In itself to be insignificant. Yet with this

sons aided in seeking employment, % per-

1t would be curious If President MacMahon
were obliged to declare against an organisa-
ton of his powers. Yet this would be vir-
tually the meaning of the retirement OF the
Duke Decazes, which is represented as
probable. If the President has resolved to
await the action of the Assembly on the bill
for Second Chamber before taking action on
the demands of the Legitimists and Bonapart-
ists, he has merely postponed an impending
crisis. The constructive power of the Assembly
is as iuconsiderable as it ever was.

The new postal agreement between the
United States and Canada, now promulgated,
is so liberal in its terms that it cannot fail to
facilitate greatly the exchange of mail matter
between the two countries, besides lessening
the cost accruing to either government under
the present system. But the agreement has

of Canada.

The reversal of Judge McCue's order grant

appears to have been a genuine surprise to
the counsel of Mr.. Beecher. A modification
of the order was confidently anticipated, and
it seemed to be in measure conceded by the
defense that some modification might prop
erly be made, but the absolute denial of the
bill was not looked for. The effect upon the
case cannot now be imagined, nor can the
future tactics of the defense be fOretold. AT
