Law and Justice.

The English journals are discussing the
sentence imposed upon Colonel Valentine
Baker of the English army for an assault
upon young lady travelling in a railway car
That prodigious demagogue, DIR. Kenealy,
brought the matter before Parliament and
censured the Judge for the leniency of his
sentence intimating that this arose from the
fact that Colonel Baker had aristocratic con-
nections and was beiriended by people in
know, was n years imprisonment without
hard labor and fine of e500 This
constant cry of "aristocracy' and
''aristocratic influence" is becoming
dangerous to English politics We think
that in the case of Colonel Baker there could
be nothing more unjust. So far rs the law is
concerned, its administration was prompt,
impartial and admirable, and the sentence,
severe rs it was. is the smallest part of the
Colonel's punishment. The Colonel has
been dismissed from the army. in which he
held high rank. He loses his commission,
worth several thousand dollars, as well rs his
pay and all chances for promotion; he is dis
missed rom all MS cluDS ana Is DanlSnet
from the society of which he was formerly an
ornament His life practically comes to an
end so far MS England is concerned. He is
thrown upon the rocks as broken, worthless
wreck, tortured by the remembrance of the
splendor that once surrounded him and by
sense ofthe honors he might yet have obtained
We do not know any sentence more terrible
than this. It is the purest quaclxery for the
demagogues of London to complain of it as
an evidence of misappled justice.

Summer Living.

We have great many complaints this sum
mer from citizens at the large watering
places as to the management of the hotels.
There seems to be desire on the part of the
hotel keeper to build huge caravansaries,
each hotel city in itself. vast, struggling,
incommodious. The hotel keepers ambition
is to have one or two thousand guests around
his table. over which he presides like
colonel over a regiment We have no doubt
that in a thriving midsummer time, when
people go TO watering places, a large hotel is
sure to make great deal of money. The
system is not calculated to promote the COM
fort of tho people. Hotels with five hundred
or thousand guests are sure to have within
the number all kinds of characters good,
bad and indifferent. Nor can any discipline,
no matter how perfect, manage a hotel of
this magnitude with due regard to the rights
of all the guests. The walters will become
careless, the cooks will be indifferent, the
meals will be tumbled on the table in every
condition, the proprietors will become care
less of the complaints of their guests if ten
go away hundreds will remain. They cal
culate upon the Indifference of the American
character its general carelessnesx about the
comforts of life. The result is tha'twhen the
summer is over the citizen who has gone of
for n few weeks to find health in the noun
tains or at the seaside returns at the first
flush of cold breeze, glad to get home
again, and thinking only of the discomforts
Of his summer life with horror.
What we want at our watering places-at
Saratoga and Long Branch and elsewhere
are small hotels, well kept, moderate in their
appointments, conducted more upon the
French than the American plan. Instead Of
bills of fare burdened with badly cooked
dishes which few care to eat how much
better to furnish simple table dh6te. plain,
good dinner. well cooked as we find it in the
hotels of Europe. Ninety-nine out of hun
dred would much prefer to sit down to a taJle
dh6te and take their chance of enjoying it than
to wade through an American bill of fare and
select their meals from a hundred dishes. AT
small hotels better guard can be kept over
the character of the guests Parents who
have growing children hesitate before turning
them loose in vast hotel parlors where they
may form associations that will remain with
them through life Hotel life lacks that re-
serve which belongs to our best modern So
ciety. This whole question of how to spend
the summer is new one. Every year we
learn more and more In few years we
shall see an end of these tremendous, vast,
uncomfortable barracks which we find at
Saratoga and Long Branch. We shall have
series of small, well kept hotels, reminding
us of the inns in Germany and France, and
where every necessary comfort may be OBJ
tained at reasonable cost.

from a communion which admitted the
Greeks and the Episcopalians. Therefore
these alliances, these conferences, these pro-
posed unions, are only TO be regarded in
their political aspect. The tremendous power
of the Church of Rome is strengthened be-
yond measure by the decree of the last Coun-
Gil, which makes the Pope absolute over his
Church and over the political allegiance Of
the members of his Church to State and
Crown. This is the power these other
churches propose to unite against and fight.
If they should succeed in forming an alliance
which would allow within it the representa-
tives of the denominations who have assem-
bled at Bonn it would be an event of tran
scendent importance not only in its effects
upon the activity and power of the Christian
denominations but upon the political rela-
tions of the Continent and the world.

pleasing duty to-day to present the first
named subject to his congregation, and of
Mr. Taylor to point out how we should use
our Bibles and wherein we fail to do so now.
The true and the false in religion and
science will receive consideration by Mr..
Loutrel, who will give his hearers signs and
tests by which they can readily distinguish
the true from the false, and SO discarding the
one and seeking after and holding fast to the
other they may attain to the beauty of holi-
ness as it shall be presented by Mr.. Light
bourn, or as it is portrayed by St Paul. Mr..
Clarke will tell us in an unsentimental
way what he knows about sentiment
and sentimentalism, and Mr. Hale will
give synopsis of the legal aspects
of the work done by the Tempe
rance Brotherhood of Brooklyn. The specu-
lators in morals and science will be at work
also giving us their views on secret and in
visible things. Mr.. Wiggin will speculate
on the weight of the human SOUL as if that
were a matter of much Importance; Mr..
Fowler will speculate also on the primitive
actualities of existence and its law of gene
rative wellbeing, angelic and carnal, while
DR.. White will bring to the front the good of
Spiritualism, if there be any such element as
goodness in it, which, judged by its results
up to this time, may well be doubted. But
the spectators as well as the evangelicals
stand side by side in this great city, bidding
for the masses who refuse to enter the halls
or churches of either, but go on in their own
way gratifying their own spiritual, intellec-
tual or carnal desires without reference to
either The moral teachers must bid higher
before they can gain the ears and the hearts
of the mnsseS.

Excursion Peri1s.

The Coroner's jury of Brooklyn have re-
turned verdict in the case of Krummeyer
who was crowded off the steamer William
Cook on Sunday, to the effect that 'the
owners or lessees of the William Cook are
censurable for their reckless disregard of
human life in loading their boat beyond its
capacity and also for not providing for the
better security of passengers in the event Of
accidents" 1t appeared in evidence that
when Krummeyer was crowded off the vessel
she had twenty-five hundred persons on
board, and that the passengers were obliged
to stand outside of the railing. We believe
the law limits this vessel to five hundred
passengers, so that we had fragrant viola
ton of law which resulted in the death of
one citizen. This shameless habit may at
some future day, if not amended, lead to
terrible calamity This whole business of
steamer excursions should be submitted to
the severest discipline. Sunday is
a favorite day for excursions during
the summer. On this day of rest
to so many thousands of our laboring poor
nothing is more natural than that the hard
working man, with bis wife and children,
should seek few hours at the seashore or in
the forest. Instead of ministering to this
desire in legitimate, prudent manner, our
boat owners and boat lessees are reckless,
avaricious, careless. Last Sunday there was
a race between the Long Branch boat and the
Staten Island ferryboat that frightened
women and children and came upon the
verge Of terrible accident. The William
Cook ran into RockNway burdened to the
waters edge, with two thousand five hundred
people. What excuse could there be if this
vessel had metwith an accident and had gone
down with the hundreds of souls on board
and no possible means of saving them? Now
that public opinion is awakened we trust that
our authorities will not pause until they
have remedied it altogether and made an
example of the boat owners, who care nothing
for the comfort of the people so long rs they
make large sums Of money.

Hard Money Candidates.

German journal--the Chicago Stats
Zeifunq announces that it will support Gen
eral Grant on a hard money platform against
any candidate who favors imitation or rag
money All right. But General Grant is
not the only possible hard money candidate.
There is Mr.. Washburne, who has lived
among hard money Frenchmen so long now
that he would, undoubtx ly, favor a hard
money platform. The Vice President also
would fit well on hard money platform.
Governor Morgan would prefer hard to soft
money. Mr.. Blaine has not been very zeal
ous in that direction, but he would accept
hard money if he were asked, we suppose.
All these are republicans. Then there are
among the democrats Senator Bayard, Gov
ernor Iildcn, Mr.. Grocsbcck and doubtless
others, who arc hard money men. and would
stand on no other than a hard money plat
form Finally, there is Charles Francis
Adams, who is an independent hard money
man. On the whole the hard money men
have candidates enough, and very able men
at that, III both parties. Hard money is not
going a begging; the hard money men need
not be in a hurry to hoist General Grant to
the masthead.

The Place OF the Democratic conveia'
tion.

Governor Tilden is gentleman of so much
character and has so many genuine titles t.
respect that it does not become him, even in
small matters, to practise the shams or resort
to the cant of those pests of politics who be-
long to the genus demagogue His talk with
newspaper reporters since the call of the
Convention at Syracuse about ''bearding the
Canal Ring lions in their den," and about
''marching boldly into the camp of the en-
envy does not befit a statesman who stands
so Justly high in the confidence of the peo-
pie. TO those who know the facts such
utterances will seem too nearly akin to the
small arts and boastful bravado of vulgar
politicians The truth is that Governor Til
den wished the Convention to be held at
Saratoga, and was strongly set in favor Of
that location up to the night preceding the
meeting of the State Committee. lie con-
sented to the change on the strong
representations of Mr.. John Kelly who had
come. up from New York with his Tammany
queue full of his hot quarrel with Mr.. John
MoTissey, who was not dead, although the
Tammany chief had taken his political scalp
and carried it bleeding in his belt He
found that Mr. Morrissey and Governor Til.
den were in perfect accord in desiring the
Convention to be held at Saratoga For the
purpose of humilating and circumventine
Morrissey he insisted that Syracuse should
be the place, and when he had persuaded
several others Governor Tilden yielded
This is the true history of that small affair.
1t was of no real importance whether Sara
toga or Syracuse was selected, because the
action Of the Convention will be controlled
by delegates sent from all parts of the State,
who will be too strongly in favor of Governor
Tilden's policy to " influenced by local out
side pressure. The Governor should be
content with his solid strength, without at
tempting to fortify it by disingenuous
vaporing. The master of long range shotted
cannon should disdain to explode Chinese
frecrackers in the face of his foes.
The New York herald., 1875-08-22

MAYOR WGcKHAM seems as slow in his
treatment of Mr. Townsend's charges against
the Police Commissioners as Governor Til
den was in the disposition Of the case of Cor
pontion Counsel Smith What he should
have done was to cite the accused Commits
sionors before him without an hours delay,
for it is his duty to prefer the charges to the
Governor if he thinks they ought to be re-
moved. They have the right to be heard in
their defence. and this being the case time
enough will be lost without any judicial con-
sidemtion of Mr.. Townsends charges apart
from the answers Of the Commissioners. Tho
people demand the immediate reorganization
of the Commission, and for this it ought to
be the purpose of the Mayor and the Gov
ernor to provide.

A New STEP IN JOURNALISM. The EUening
Telegram of yesterday was issued at ten
o'clock in the morning, containing n special
cable despatch giving full account of the
London money market at one o'clock on the
same day. This our afternoon contemporary

between London and New York. 1t is dis
tinct feature of the progress of modern jour
nalism. We should think that a report of
this kind, gathered by accurate correspond
ents. and in the hands Of every merchant be-
fore he begins business, would be invaluable.
1t will especially prevent any attempt to

Tramps, Beware!

From the rural districts is reported the odd
mshap of common tramp He went to
church; but, possessed of the perverse genius
of tramps, he did not go in the ordinary way,
when the doors were open and the bells ring
ing and the sun shining, and while the mot
ley company of Sunday citizens gossiped in
the vestibule Perhaps he was modest, and
thought that in the condition of his wardrobe
he would not cut happy figure in such
scene SO he chose the obscurity of the
night At that time the doors were shN and
the windows, but a really pious man is not
prevented by such obstacles. There was
fue open, and he went in by the flue. But
the fue, not contrived for the entry of the
congregation, proved an extraordinarily de-
vious route. Inasmuch, however as it is rec
ognized that the long and narrow way is the
right one the tramp wriggled forward with
as much energy as that famous tramp whose
experiences were recorded by Bunyan, the
tinker. But Bunyans hero never got into
a flue. and the man who did found it harder
than any of the known ways over Jordan.
He consequently decided to give it up Alas
III
tedious as to go o'er"-nay, that to re-
turn was impossible. 1t is said that the
fue was in the form of the letter u, and, of
course, the turns were too sharp. What can
be done by Christian in a fue in the form
of the letter Y, who can neither go forward
nor return? 1t is evident that he must raise
the voice of lamentation and alarm; and this
was done so effectually that the people came
and cut the tramp out of the fiue. Our pur-
pose in restating this adventure is that some
person may communicate it to that sturdy
political tramp Kelley, of Pennsylvania.
Kelley has his eyes on the temple of repub-
lican glory and we suspect that he means
to get in by way of the financial flue, if he
finds it open. We warn this adventurer that
the shape of the letter u is straight line by
comparison with the actual form of that hue;
and, furthermore, that in the case of any
accident the hue will be considered of more
consequence than the tramp. Nobody will
cut the Aue to help Kelley, but Kelley will
be torn out piecemeal to relieve the fue
