The SITUATION IN FRANCE. Assem-
bly,, under the new Ministry has entered
upon the discussion of the constitutional
laws. Two things appear evident. The first
Is, that the Bonapartists hold the balance of
power and endeavor to precipitate chaos,
tumult and revolution in the hope that power
will come as it came after the coup d ftat. The
other is, that the extreme legitimists and the
republicans are virtually in alliance to COM
pei the dissolution of the Assembly. It is diff
cult to see how dissolution can be prevented
France no longer respects an Assembly that
has no representative power NJ. Gambetta, q
clear minded, and, judged by the Rochefort
type, conservative politician, has been max
ing speech in which he compliments the
republican party upon its admirable organiza-
ton. and predicts that the final struggle win
be between the republicans and Bonapartists.
We see no better solution to this problem
than the declaration of republic by Mac
Mahon, and frank acceptance on his part Of
the fact that only republic is possible in
France. The time has come when this soldier
may become the Washington of France. If he
has the courage and the patriotism to be SO
it will be well for his fame and for the happi-
ness of his country.

many brilliant theories and dazzling schemes.
VIII the Presidents view-the one sound
idea touching our national finances that is
now before the country-control the financial
vagaries of our arid and feeble legislators and
compel them to group around it as central
point whatever fancies they intend to have
written in the law? We trust it may. This
would give character and purpose to an
endeavor which seems to have become vain
and aimless. 1t is to be hoped that ON this
point the new Secretary of the Treasury is
thoroughly and earnestly in sympathy with
the President otherwise his advent Will he of
little advantage to the country. No one has
yet spoken for his knowledge in financial
science, or for his capacity to reason in the
very difficult class Of problems which this
science presents. He is chronicled as good
Union man and good soldier and good
lawyer, and man Of industry and integrity
Judge Richardson was also, we suppose, q
good lawyer, as he is now nominated for the
Court Of Claims, but he was the worst Secre-
tary of the Treasury ever known in this coun-
try. If being a good Union man and a
good soldier would qualify man in financial
science there are nearly million men in the
country from whom to choose We are sorry
that what is said as to General Bristows
fitness for his position is not more
relevant 1t is too much like the gen.
eral notion which prevails in many minds,
that no special knowledge is necessary in
special pursuits. 1t ignores the necessity for
knowledge, without which no man can sue
cessfully fill the place to which General Bris-
tow has been appointed. Few persons would
in these days employ clockmaker to plead
an important case in court through overlook
ing the fact that law is regularly studied as q
profession by large number of men; and we
do not believe that General Grant would ever
put teamster in command of battery of
artillery if an instructed artillerist could be
had. Yet it is not greatly different to put in
the post of Secretary of the Treasury man
who does not appear to have given any espe-
cial attention to the study of financial science.
For these reasons we are not sanguine that
the new Secretary will be great success; but
his greatest hope for usefulness is in an ener-
getic support of the one financial idea of the
administration-the idea of the veto-an in
flexible adherence to the necessity Of taking
some steps toward redemption.

An event which always possesses particu-
lar significance in the fashionable world, and
to which the New York public looks forward
with interest, will be the opening of the
spring season of the American Jockey Club at
Jerome Park on Saturday next The time is
especially propitious for the enjoyment of the
fine treat prepared by the gentlemen of the
having departed, and the majority Of the
theatres being closed, such source Of pleas
ure is oil that is left TO the amusement-loving
people of the metropolis. 1t is an appropriate
ending to the brilliant season, which has
lasted, almost without intermission, since
October last, and an excellent preparation for
the gayeties and Kaleidoscope phases OF water
ing place life The pride of the city, Central
Park, is in its gayest dress at this season, and
the beautiful drive to the race course may be
appreciated to the fullest extent The skill,
taste and iberality displayed by the
club in the management of the
race meetings. cannot be too highly
commended, as nothing has been left undone
to secure unalloyed enjoyment The order
which prevails on each race day among vast
crowd of visitors and the absence of any of
those scenes that in other less favored places
mar the pleasure Of such meeting, testify to
the success of the management of the club.
The spirit of exclusiveness, which might be
associated in the minds of some with this
body Of gentlemen, finds no expression at
Jerome Park. Freedom, in the true sense of
the word, and consequently popularity have
attended every meeting. The preparations
for the series of events which commence on
Saturday have been very extensive. The rep
resentative equine blood of America will be
there. Old favorites and new candidates for
the honors Of the turf will be presented and
books are filled, and the stables are the centres
of interest for the forthcoming races. Whoever
wishes to enjoy view of the best side of me-
tropolitan Life will be afforded the opportunity
at jerome Park on Saturday.

A Terrible Tragedy in Brooklyn.

It has rarely been our sad duty to record
more terrible event than that reported in our
columns this morning. A mother killed her
three little children and wounded her husband
so fearfully that he may not recover. Mrs.
Dryer, of North Eighth street, Brooklyn,
E. D., first struck her husband, a cooper,
with q cooper's hammer and fractured his
skull while he was sitting quietly in chair
reading newspaper. They had some
words before, however, about the distress Of
the family, caused by Dwyer having struck
with others of the Coopers' Union against
their employers As soon as the unfortunate
man rushed from the house for the police
Mrs. Dwyer slew her three children, aged
seven, four and two years, in q horrible
manner. The woman appeared stolid and
gave no sign of grief There appears to be
little doubt that she is crazy. In fact, she
had been in a lunatic asylum about year
ago, though discharged under the supposition
that she was cured. 1t is said there is
nothing in her countenance to indicate q
cruel or vicious nature, that sh was a good
and tidy housewife and that she was not
addicted to the use of intoxicating liquor.
How watchful people ought to be over those
OF their friends who have ever been insane or
shown symptoms Of insanity! The deed is SO
shocking that it is some consolation to believe
the wretched woman was not sane.

The Food supply in the Department
OF Charities and Correction.

OF Ch0r1t1eS ana correction
The list of warrants drawn by the Comp
troller during 1873 shows that about $3.50, 900
was expended by the Commission OF Charities
and Correction that year for meat, -four, fish,
vegetables and groceries. Of this about
$500, 900 was for meat, fish and flour. Taking
the average contract price OF meat OF six cents
q pound, of fish at five cents and adding to
the weight Of -four one-third for bread, we
find that $1,000 pounds of solid food per clay
was consumed by the department last year.
The payments for meat-averaging the last
three months OF the year, the warrants for
which are not yet published-were about
$180O00 which represents 100000 pounds
at six cents per pound The payments for
-four aggregate about $780, 900, which, at the
rate of S. barrel, gives %, 900 barrels, or, at
1876 pounds to the barrel, 1900, 900 pounds
Of -four. From these figures we find the fol-
lowing to have been the consumption during

Dividing this by 365, we find the daily con-
sumption to have been little over 81, 600
pounds. As no report has been made by the
Department OF Charities and Correction since
1871, despite the requirements of the law, we
are compelled to take such meagre statistics
as we can find in the report of that year to
form an estimate Of the extent of the frauds
perpetrated in the TODD supplies. We find the
constant population" which we presume to
be the daily average, in all the institutions,
prisons, hospitals, schools, asylums and nur-
series to have been from 6, 900 to $3.50 during
seven years. Taking the highest number to
have been the population in 1873, and allow
ing two pounds OF bread and meat per day to
each individual, including the sick in tho
hospitals and the children in the schools and
nurseries, we account for the consumption of
16, 500 pounds of bread and meat leaving o
margin OF 10000 pounds day for waste or
stealings. This calculation is greatly in favor
OF the Commissioners, and we have no doubt
that an honest investigation would prove the
facts to be even more outrageous than they
now appear to be-

A Boy MURDERER, only fifteen years Of age,
was sentenced yesterday at Little Valley, in
this State, to the Auburn State Prison for life,
for chopping his stepiather to pieces in jan
uary last while both were intoxicated. This
is evidently case of precocious crime owing
to the want Of moral training on the child,
and ought to call general attention to the
many neglected children in both city and
country. More good can be accomplished by
preventing the child from falling into bad
habits than by trying to reform the hardened
sinner.
