The report recently laid before the
mittee on Finance ana Taxation, sets forth in
forctble terms the injury which Grantism has
inflicted upon the material interests Of that
State, not only by burdening the people with an
enormous fraudulent debt, but also through
the effects Of the political turmoil instigated by
the Administration. The raids made by United
States Marshals under the orders of LANDAULFT
WILLIAMS and local GRANT officials, upon
haRrantly false pretences, greatly increased
the distress among an already impoverished
people by paralyzing industry, democrat
izing the laboring class, and driving capt
tai and enterprise away from the State
so that the resources upon which the
public debt was supposed to be based were
rendered unproductlve. The committee report
that the taxable property Of the State amounts
only to about Sl59 900, while its indie bted
OF every kind amounts TO $29,OO0,000 OF nearly
one-nfth OF the taxable property. Under CARPET
baa and negro rule the main object OF those in
power seemed to be to pile up municipal.

The canvass in the Seventh Assembly
District seems to be more interesting lust now
than anything else connected with the election,
and people In the upper part OF the city talk
about II more than about every other political
subject. This seems remarkable, considering
that the Seventh ~ but one among the twenty
one Assembly districts OF the city; but this ex-
ceptional prominence is understood when we
reflect who are the candidates. The RepublI-
cans are running DIR. HAYES, physician OF ad-
vanced years, who, many years ago, sailed no 10
the Arctic Ocean, but came back without hav-
Ing seen the North Pole, and has since been
writing geographical articles for the Herald.
The Democratic candidate, Col. BARTLETT, on
the other hand, is young man. full of life, dash,
and originality, at the same time a soldier be-
loved by bis comrades, and lawyer esteemed
alike by Judges, jurors, and clients. or course,
with such candidates the contest is intense, but
the chances are all In favor Of the younger man.
BESIDES, Col. BARTLETT Is identified with the
cause Of reform and honest government, while

The figures presented by an accountant

The figures presented by an accountant
at a recent meeting OF depositors of tho Third
Avenue Savings Bank leave no doubt that tho
bank has been insolvent for a number OF years,
and that II should have been wound up In 1879,
as urged by THE SUN. The figures also leave no
doubt that the bank officials were aware OF the
insolvency, even when they subscribed to state
ments which made out a pretended surplus.
Some OF those officials are protected by the stat
ute of limitations. Others are not. The latter
should be punished, a. an example and warn
ing. The savings banks of New York are, "a IA
rule, honestly and safely conducted, and the
conviction OF tho officials OF the late Third
Avenue Bank would teach people to heed the
warnings Of THE SUN, and deposit their moss y

JoHN KELLY's city administration here, has
been seized with nt of economy. Unfortunate
IL for the taxpayers, the economy began aud
ended at the foot OF the pay list. The wages Of
laoorers In the employ Of the city were cut
down twelve per cent. while the officials, who
receive total OF S2S3,774, continue to enjoy their
salaries without any reduction whatever. A
reduction Of 10 per cent. on the officials would
save Boston nearly $4,000 year but there, as
under one-man rule here, the laborer alone pays
the cost OF pretended reform.

The American people can rarely be
charged with neglectng to exercise the right Of
voting when there is any question OF real I'm
portance before them. At the recent election IN
ohio, when the imitation principle was up, and
the canvass was very thorough by both parties
the vote OF the State rose high as sol ,Of7. We
presume this Is the highest ratio Of voters to
population ever known at any election In this
country. The whole vote was over 6l,OUO greater
than that for President IN 1872, which was the
largest ever cast in Ohio up to that time. Were
a. large proportion OF the population Of New

thousand higher than It has ever yet been. THE
