CURED to prove by very clear testimony that
he did not commit wilful contempt Of
court, and that his agents were not hurriedly
despatched for the purpose of evading the
injunction.
1t is difficult to believe that the outrage
Of Tuesday night and yesterday is wholly
attributable to misplaced official zeal Com
missioner Blunt, like most fossils in Office, is
fond Of thrusting himself before the
public in diluted newspaper cor
respondence, and mistakes business for
efficiency. But it is evident that in
this case he is only the tool Of the Van
derbilt ferry line, with whose enormous
profits the lower fares of Commodore
Gamers Staten Island boats are interfering
The legal proceedings against the club house
and pier were taken by the rival line under
the plea that the Garner pier is built so near
to the Vanderbilt lines landing as to conflict
with law passed in 1857. With this Mr.
Blunt has no concern, and his appearance in
the lists as the monopoly champion on a diff
erent issue is, to say the least, remarkable.
lie is laboring not to protect the public in
terests, but to bring the people of Staten
Island again under the heel of an oppressive
monopoly. The Staten Islanders have
stoutly resisted the outrage, as they resisted
in the old Quarantine war; and this time
they have law as well as justice on their side.
Not a dozen citizens of Richmond county
could be found who would approve Mr..
Blunts action. 1t is to be hoped that the
courts will restrain him from a repetition OF
his attempt to destroy private property, and
that the next Legislature will review the
present Pilot Commissioners law and place
the appointment of those officers in the
hands of the Governor Of the State

The MISSISSIPPI TROUBLES. 1t is fatal to
the peace OF the South that private quarrel
like that between Senator Alcorn, OF Missis-
sippi. and negro sheriff should lead to re-
suits such as those reported from Friar's
Point this morning. No good reason is as
signed for the conflict, but it is likely there
was some more exciting cause for the out
break than q disagreement between white
man and negro, though the 'is q United
States Senator and the other sheriff. The
case as it now stands wears very much the
aspect Of wrong On both sides, and it is
noteworthy fact that these riots annually oc-
cur about election time.

THE BROKEN SAVINGS BANK. Some of the
victims Of the Third Avenue Savings Bank
met last night for the purpose of consulta-
ton. The meeting was somewhat disorderly,
as such gatherings generally are at first, but
the foundation of movement for mutual pro-
lection was laid and may lead to efficient
action hereafter. 1t certainly appears de-
sirable that the friendly arrangement by
which an officer of the rotten bank was made
its receiver should be reviewed. 1t is also
proper that the course of the Bank Superin-
tendent should be brought before the courts.
The Savings Bank laws are stringent, and rs
false statement made unders oath to the
Bank Department by the officers of such an
institution constitutes the crime of perjury
there may yet be a means of furnishing the
men who have enriched themselves at the
expense Of thousands of victims, even
though they have managed to creep out of
the bank before the final crash.

The YACHT RACES The first Of the series
Of yacht races, arrangements for which were
made recently, took place yesterday be-
tween the Estelle and the Resolute. There

Of the series of sea matches recently made

weather. Mr. Hatch, who loses on time al
lowance, has still sufficient opportunity to
retrieve his fortunes He has three more
races to run, and there is rumor that there
will be q further race between the Estelle
and the Comet or the Clio for a cup. We
are glad to see this interest in yachting at a
time of the year when it is safe to look for q
stiff breeze and seamanlike sport.

In THE TWEED CASE in the General Term
Of the Supreme Court, yesterday the order of
Judge Donohue requiring bill Of particu-
lars was reversed, while Judge Barrett's
order refusing TO yacatc the order Of arrest
or reduce the bail was sustained. Thus am
other step has been taken in this important
case, but as a matter Of course there will be
an appeal and fresh arguments by counsel,
and more fees for the lawyers. When the
end will come nobody can predict, The Tweed
case is destined, perhaps, to remain longer in
the courts than Jarndyce and Jarndycc, and
there arc fatter fees in the real case than in
the imaginary one invented by tho novelist
Indeed, all of Tweed's robberios seom TO have
been for the enrichment Of the lawyers, and
if the cx-statesman lives long enough he may
be able to exhaust his ill-gotten six millions
in paying his legal counsellors.

Shall Faithful Judges BE Sacrificed to
Party!

Upon the ID Of November judges of the
fifteen are to be chosen. Fourteen Of the
present incumbents are democrats, and in
city so largely democratic they naturally
seek reelection. Six of them are chosen
from the county electors at large. Against
their character or qualifications no sugges-
tions have been made. Indeed, several have
been six and ten years upon the Bench. Of
course all Of them have acquired great
special knowledge during this long perform
ance Of their trusts. Recognizing these facts,
the people, who really care nothing about
the political complexion Of the judiciary,
are already anxiously observing whether
the party leaders Of any stripe intend to sac
rifce experience to expediency. The people
are prepared to find old and approved judges
either restored to position by fresh selection
or returned by reelection.
The old Tammany regime began to lose in
huence from the day when it refused to renom-
mate Judge Clerke, who had been Judge of
the Oyer and Terminer during many years,
and did his whole duty by the dangerous
classes. That regime, not needing this
warning, brought their bold craftsmanship to
climax when in 1871 they sacrificed Judge
Sutherland, who had been sixteen years a
fearless Judge of the Supreme Court These
lessons teach that it would be Unjust to the
party and to the people TO make any wanton
changes in the Bench-to displace faithful
magistrates for favorites 1t has always been
an argument against our elective judiciary
that honest magistrates would be stricken
from the Bench to suit the exigences Of
party The political leaders would do well
to remember this, and not to hinder their
canvass by giving the people the opportunity
Of saying that honest fearless magistrates
had been supplapted to crafty the ambition
Of political leaders.

Our lives-Or rather their happiness or
misery-are in great measure made up Of
trifes, just as time is made up of moments.
The discomfort of having to wait for a meal
beyond its regular hour, or Of finding things
i'll prepared or carelessly done, or of meeting
SlovenlineSss and discomfort, when little
thought and pains might have introduced ease
and even elegance, or Of being brought up
sharp at every turn by want of pHnctuality
and of method-these are ills more difficult to
bear than the initiated imagine. Most houses
might be comfortable and elegant. Yes,
elegant! For comfort consists in finding
everything where and as it should be. Ele-
gance in adding to what should be there, that
which need not be there, but whose presence
surprises, attracts and gratifes. There is often
neither comfort no elegance in the richer man
siOns, while both are found in the laborer'
cottage. A jug filed with flowers, neat white
curtain, a couple of fower-pots, may effect
what the expenditure of as many dollars ha.
not achieved. Let it not be said that these
are mere trihes, unworthy of attention. Dis
trust the pretenes of that spirituality whose
eyes are too lofty for the common things o.
life In the leng catalogue Of things to "thinl
on" they rank at any rate ameng tn,
whatsoever things are lovely" You ga!
these are trifes? Then all the more the.
ought not to be neglected. But trifes though
they be, to neglect them is not tri6e; it is
breach Of plain duty.
