LNooLNs BIRTHDAY. This being the an
niversary of the birth of President Lincoln
the event is to be celebrated in number of
cities. In Buffalo the exercises will consist
OF semi-religious, semi-patriotic pro-
gramme. Though 1t is nearly nine years
since Mr. Lincoln was assassinated this, we
believe, is the first time that birthday honors
we're accorded to his memory.

The ARGUMENT in the civil cases against
the Tammany corruptionists, in which the
people of the State are made complainants,
was commenced in the Court of Appeals at
Albany yesterday. Mr.. Charles OConor

Much good has been accomplished this
season by the various charitable entertain
ments, theatrical performances balls con-
certs and the like, the proceeds of which have
been distributed among the poor of the city.
Many thousands of dollars have been realized
from these sources. The necessity for relief
is now more urgent than ever; hence the
efforts of those who are instrumental in ar
ranging charitable entertainments and the
cooperation of those through whose liberality
they are made successful should not be relaxed.
This week very enjoyable programme is
offered at the armory of the Seventy first regi-
ment, on Broadway and Thirty fifth street.
The usual fair is omitted, and instead the
armory will be open on Friday and Saturday
and the entertainments will comprise
music by the regimental band, promenade
concerts, dancing refreshments, Punch and
Judy shows Valentine post offices and other
fun and frolics. Many thousands ought to
pass in and out and enjoy themselves for a
short time during the two days, especially as
the charge Of admission is only one dollar
The proceeds 60 to the funds Of the Samaritan

ton Similarly deserving of liberal support
will be the ''Pot-Pourri" at ST. Cecilia Hail.

The LEaIsLAruRE IL PUZZLED WHAT to do
with the various projects for the promotion of
rapid transit in our city. In all the schemes
so far presented the accustomed niger has
been discovered, so that the virtuous repre-
sentatives do not know what to do. The
plain and simple course is the appointment of
reliable commission with full power to erect
a railway for the benefit OF the citizens. 1t is
the quickest and cheapest solution of the rapid
transit question.

The REMAINS OF JAMES w. GERARD were
buried yesterday. The best proof that he
lived noble life is in the spectacle around
his bier. The Bench and Bar were never
more fully represented on a similar occasion,
and we believe ii is the first time in the city
where the little school children have so spon-
taneously testified their grief at the death of
public man.

The PoOR AND THE CHARITABLE. The
communications and incidents which appear
in the HERALD to-day bring to light several
additional cases Of restitution in the city, and
reveal more and more suffering. At the
same time we are pleased to see that
the subscriptions in aid of the home
less and the starving flow literally
in, and that many Of our citizens are aroused
to sense of the duty of Christian people
in q season like the present We trust that
the example of those who have already con-
tributed will stimulate all who can afford to
give to similar acts of charity.

Practical CHARITY. Perhaps the best and
NEST practical machinery in aid of charity is
that rendered by the press. Yesterday we
published the case of Mrs. Ford, widow
with nine children in starving condition,
and before noon OF the same day the poor
woman had received sufficient assistance to
make her comfortable for many days-one
giving ton OF coal, several sending meat,
some clothes for the children and several
sums of money. Ten dollars were received
for her at this Office. There is no want of a
disposition to give, but people want to know
where to give and any distinctly stated and
well established case of distress is sure Of
sympathy and ample aid in this rich and
generous city.

A TERRIBLE VISITATION village of
South Windham, Conn, is undergoing ter
rible affection in the ravages of smallpox
The disease has attacked every house in the
village and several deaths have occurred
Business is suspended the trains on the New
London Northern Railroad are rushed by
without stopping and no communication
from the outside is allowed. The disease is
said to have been introduced by lady from
Mystic, whose child was recovering from the
malady. The spread of the disease to other
towns is feared. 1t is to be hoped that the
panic which has evidently seized the people
will cease and that proper precautions will
DO taken to prevent further calamity.

Soup KITCHENS. Already a great deal of
good has been done in directing public atten-
ton in special directions where there was dis
tress, but pinching hunger is still abroad, and
the need is felt for more systematic daily dis
tribution of food in different quarters of the
city. Are the churches doing anything? They
are clearly in the number of organizations from
whom society has right to expect efficient
service in such a care. All these bodies of
men and women, often in good circumstances
and at least agreeing on the large points of
Christian charity, might accomplish wonders
by united action on behalf of the wretched
poor. Shall we have some soup kitchens
organized by the churches? Not long ago all
the churches in London appointed Hospital
Sunday day on which to collect money for
the hospitals of their great city-and it was a
memorable success. Our churches might
with equal good effect appoint Soup Kitchen

WHHKEy BROUGHT TO GRIEF.--It appears
that among the evidences of the perfection OF
our federal system of enforcing the laws
Barren Island furnishes very convenient if
unhappy illustration. There was formerly
upon its sterile acres a fat-rendering estab-
lishment, but carcasses becoming scarce or a
demand for them rare, the property was put
to the use Of distillery, without the knowl-
edge of the federal authorities, we are bound
to believe, and immense quantities Of whiskey
were manufactured. This whiskey reached
the consumer without the tedious definitions
of the taxgatherer, and it seems that certain
deck hand, believing this form of doing bust
ness to be irregular, told his story to the
authorities who, with one hundred soldiers,
yesterday morning captured The island and
large quantities of the contraband fluid

Wednesday we published in an editorial
the views of the Adjutant General upon the
frontier defense BILL It Will be seen from
the report of his views that he looks with
disfavOr upon the bin in its present form,
and desires that it be put into some other
shape The bill is defective in many re-
spects, but its friends and originators claim
thai under the present financial embarrass-
ments Of the State, it is the best that can be
put into operation. As to the idea that
money and not men is what is wanted by
the people of the frontier, it Is claimed by
friends of the bill that men from elsewhere
are not what is wanted, from the fact that
they do not take that interest in the de-
Tense Of the frontier that is necessary; in
other words that money spent under the
present system is more effectively spent
upon men who live upon the ground, than
upon those who come from elsewhere. Gen.
Steele's views are entirely correct, If it be
possible to put them into effect, upon such
plan as he would recognize as suited to
them, The only question, Is we look upon
it, is that ofmOuey. A thoroughly equipped
regiment Of frontier rangers, always on duty
and under thorough discipline, it win be
admitted, is the best means that the State
could adopt toprotect the frontier, but even
the strongest advocates Of frontier protee-
ton claim this system would entail an ex-
pense on the State which it could not
endure, and that such q system would fail
through an inability to command means to
carry It out. Nothing would be more graft
flying to Us than to see the frontier amply
protected. but It does seem that full prOtee-
ton cannot be obtained under the eircum-
stances until means are at command sufi-
Client to station thoroughly organized
force within the exposed country. Gen.
Steele realizes these facts and regrets them,
while At the same time he wOnld be glad to
have any organization, proposed under the
pending bin, effected in style which be
could WELD, as would be expected Of him.
Gen. Steele Il more than anxious 10 do good
service for the frontier, and beng so, de-
sires to have . bin passed Is free from inn
perfeotiOus us possible. To this end. too,
We earnestly hope the subject wiz tend.
The snbject q frOntier defense has ell the
while been most VexOd one. and we hope
the present Legislature win do all in its
power 70 establish it. The Democratic
party pledged itself to this purpose as the
last State convention, and we desire to see
the promise fulfilled.
