Thoughts from the Talmud,


The thought of the sin is worse than
the sin. The older the wise man gets
the wiser he grows; the fool, when he
ages, becomes but an old fool. He who
studies for good purpose, to him his
study becomes blessing; to him who
does not, it grows into a poison. A bad
wife is like a hail storm. Do not dwell
too long on your friends praises; you
will end in. saying things against him.
Do much or little, so that you do it for
q good purpose. Refined musici is liked
by refined people; weavers do not care
for it. Three cry out but get no pity,
viz: he who lends out his money with
out witness, the henpecked husband, and
he who cannot get in one place and does
not try another. Even ths common talk
of the wise should. be pondered over.
One goose generally follows another.

our future reward be like that Of him
who remains silent under false impu-
tation. One peppercorn. is better than

whose deeds are evil is like q man who

The sunnyslde Calamity.

An unaccountable and almost incompre-
hensible accident to North River passenger
steamer comes as if to revive that tradition
Of appalling calamities for which the river
boats had once bad pre-eminence. Fortu-
nately the present accident is far less terri
BILE than accidents to North River steamers
have commonly been in the times when they
were more plentiful; but the comparatively
small loss Of life is not due to any improve
ment in life-saying apparatus nor to any
iudicious conduct of the steamers people,
but simply to the fact that the lateness Of
the season has driven judicious travellers to
the cars and left to the boat only the
venturesome few. The people were not
there to kill, or the hardy mariner who
has done for eleven would have
done for two or three hundred with
stood that if steamboat has her hull stove
in to any extent she will go down as far as
the depth will permit, and that thus left to
the mercy of the waters she will go to pieces,
All this is plain if the holes in the bottom
are granted. But how did the holes gel
there? 'Cut by the ice," is the answer
From which answer it will be natural to ash
whether the bottom Of this steamer was made
Of pasteboard or of old cigar boxes There
has been no ice made before this cold storm
and it was light, local, broken new ice that
the boat was, as we are told cut down by
not the awful rush of yielding pack or tho
heavy, granite-like squares of midwinter
The penetration of the hull of river steamer
by ice made in the twenty-four hours pre-
vious to the calamity needs the close investi
cation of the insurance companies.

Repeal or the Tammany Charter.

The Tammany Society, or Columbian Order
having really forfeited its charter by pervert
ing the institution to unauthorized uses, it
is the duty of the Legislature to declare the
forfeiture and deprive the society of its cor
porate privileges. 1t has been objected that
this would amount to nothing, since the
Objectionable political organization could be
kept up under other forms which would
be equally efficient for mischief But
the society would no longer have
the prestige of legal sanction.
Nobody can dispute that it would be an
abuse Of legislative power to give the coun-
tenance and support of law to a political
association avowedly organized for such OBJ
jects as those to which Tammany is devoted.
Ii the Custom House Ring, for example,
should apply to the Legislature for a charter
to facilitate their electioneering purposes,
the whole people would demonstrate against
such an abuse of the law-making power. II
is just as improper to continue such an adj
vantage as it would be to confer it. Nor is
il certain that if the Tammany char
ter we're cancelled the society would
20 on without legislative countenance
A withdrawal Of its charter would be a
strong expression of condemnation by the
people of the whole State, and it is absurd
to say that public opinion so expressed would
not be a heavy blow to Tammany. A move
ment to declare the forfeiture of the charter
would, Of course lead to legislative inyes-
tication Of the affairs of the society and
thorough exposure of its abuses. search
ing investigation would be as damaging to
Tammany as it has been to the Canal Ring
Tammany totters under the heavy blow dealt
il in the last election and the repeal of its
charter after full legislative exposure would
topple it down in ruins.

The Convention Of University Oars
men at Springfield.

The students in convention yesterday at
Springfield could not tell how or where to
row the University race Of 1876 voted down
coxswains followed our suggestion Of hav-
ing Mr.. Thomas Hughes as referee-if they
can get him-chose a good regatta
committee, wanted the race rowed in
heats, but did not seem to know
how to manage it, or hardly what
heats are, raised trihing objections to Sara
toga, the three colleges nearest Springfield
favoring its course, three further east pre-
ferring New London, Williams wanting any
place but Saratoga, and Wesleyan and the
five New York and New Jersey institutions,
though furnishing the four fastest crews Of
the last two years, having seemingly nothing
to say as to where the meeting should be
held, almost everything being left
to the Regatta Committee and to an
adjourned meeting month later.
Meanwhile the aspirant for seat in his
university boat must draw what comfort he
can from this incoherent attempt at work
The current, sandbars and diagonal lines of
the Springfield course the exposed position
of the tidal one at New London the distance
Of both from many, if not q majority, Of the
competitors the dissatisfaction which
followed the race at the former in
1873, and the utter inability OF either
to accommodate even a quarter Of those
who would like to attend the greatest row
ing race we have, seem to have been entirely
forgotten, while the cost Of erecting fourteen
boat houses and the other necessarily large
expenses seem in fair way to be forced
upon one Of these cities next sum-
mer, to be taken elsewhere year later
II IS unfortunate that after twenty three
years trying We are as far from good
University race as ever, or even from know
ing where to have it; also that we cannot
show our many and discriminating visitors
next summer contest conducted on q plan
with which we are already familiar, and not
at best a mere bungling experiment.

II Is WHISPERED from Washington that
President Grant, having failed to run down
the fox called Cuba, is now in full cry after

which we heard the other day at Key West

baying along the Rio Grande. 1t is grave
mistake for President Grant to imagine that
any war policy will SO far condone the errors
of his administration and 50 Ear accustom

tutional provision as 50 allow him 70 win

HONESTY" AS 4 PARTY CRY.-It is all very
well to cry honesty" and ECONOMY" when
democrats and republicans are fighting and
when the leaders are seeking to win the
suffrages of the people. But It is unfor-
tunate to introduce these cries into canvass
like this for the Speakership. We are bound
to suppose that democrats have elected none
but honest men to Congressman who are
above "rings," and who know no jobs.

good reasons and the loyalty Of his sup

the party ana clouded plain issues. Such a

WHAT AN ADVANTAGE it would be to the
country, not to speak of the new color il
would give to General Grants fame, if he were
to initiate the example of his colleague al
the head of the Judiciary Department, Chief
Justice Waite, and declare that under no cir
cumstances would he be candidate for the
third term! Such an admission could be
made the crowning feature of his coming
Message. 1t would enable his friends to look
around for man who, as candidate would
rally all the elements of strength in the or
ganization, and in the end it might prove
good for The republican party.

MIR. Peter Cooper on the Currency.
The interview with Mr.. Cooper which we
print to-day is worth attention, as showing
how the currency question looks from the
standpoint of veteran and successful busi-
ness man who possesses the knowledge Of his
class and has little acquaintance with the dis
cussions of scientific economists. The value
of the interview consists in its showing what
kind of ideas the advocates of hard money
have to meet and what prejudices they must
remove or satisfy. We need not say that we
dissent from most of Mr.. Cooper's conclu-
sions. We do not believe in the imitation
which he advocates nor in the scheme of in
the HERALD to give all sides fair and re-
spectful hearing.
On one important point we are not pre-
pared to take strong ground in opposition to
Mr. Cooper He thinks the bank note circu-
lation should be suppressed, and that our
paper currency should consist exclusively Of
legal tender notes issued by the government.
There is great deal to be said in favor of
this view. The national bank notes circu-
late on the credit of the government, and not
on the credit of the banks that issue them.
Why should the government be responsible
for any other promissory notes than its own
Why should it give away its credit for
the profit of banking institutions! If
it be for the security of the people
the people would be equally secure if the
whole currency consisted Of greenbacks and
the government would receive the profit of
the paper circulation. When a man borrows
bank notes he merely borrows the credit of
the bank. merchant whose credit is SO
good that another wealthy merchant indorses
his note for nothing goes to bank and gives
the joint promissory note of himself and his
indorser in exchange for promissory notes Of
the bank for the same amount, and pays
seven per cent discount for the use Of a credit
which is really no better than his own. If
the greenbacks were withdrawn the govern
ment itself might 90 to bank for
loan and pay six or seven per cent
for the use of bank notes whose
circulating power depends on its own in
dorsement that is to say, the government
buys back at heavy discount its own credit
which has been given to the bank. This is
absurd. Why should not the government
have the full advantage Of its own credit ?
When citizens pay for an exchange of credit
why should it be nominally for the fictitious
credit of . bank instead Of directly for the
real credit Of the government which gives
the bank notes their circulating power
Great profits are made by the exchange OF
the credit Of solvent individuals for the
credit of the national banks, and these profits
rightfully belong to the government whose
credit and not that Of the banks, gives cur
rency to the bank notes.

SUNSET Cox.-Mr. Cox should follow the
excellent example set by Mr.. Wood and con,
suit his own ultimate satisfaction, as well as
present expediency in the party, by the
withdrawal of his name from the contest fol-
the Speakership. If this contest for the
Speakership were purely question of per-
sons and personal aptitudes we scarcely
believe it would be determined in favor Of
Mr.. Cox, or that a majority would find in
him its conception of presiding officer but
the case is not one of persons-it is the issue
Of Tammanyism in the democratic party.
The lines are fairly drawn on that issue, and
all candidates aside from it only raise
dust that spoils sport 1t is necessary that
Tammany should be beaten, and whoever
perverts for his own cause one vote that
would assist this public cause does harm.

MIR. Edison,s Discovery.

In another column will be found an ac-
count of new discovery in natural science
recently made in the experiments of an
electrician. This gentleman observed that
the spark which arises from the contact of
two pieces of metal when one is in contact
with the core of battery was apparently the
product of some force other than electricity,
and upon the application of tests was able
to prove that the principle whose existence,
and operation were thus demonstrated by
the electrical apparatus was not electricity,
but was some hitherto unknown and unde-
scribed force From what he has thus far
learned of the nature and manifestations oi
the new principle he is led to compare ita
operation to that operation of nature which
produces the aurora and venture the theory
that he has detected the principle upon
which that grand pageant of nature depends.
The practical results Of the discovery as
now contemplated, have regard to tele-
graphic manipulation, and the discovery
seems to promise greatly increased facility
for the transmission of signals. All that the
world has learned in the short life of modern
science indicates that we are only at the
threshold of the great secrets of nature
that are yet to be opened to US, and every
step we take in this direction counts toward
the grand result of the victory of man oven
the obstacles of matter and space and time
