one of those CHASTITY crimes by which ships
bottom is prepared for destruction with
view to the insurance, or that the boat was
utterly unseaworthy, and that it was scarcely
less than murder to put passengers upon her
for any voyage whatever She was cut down
by floating ice which was moving with her in
the current, for she was coming down stream.
How great was the impetus of that ice How
great the resistance opposed to it9 Is il
conceivable that new ice, three or four inches
thick, moving down stream, could cut into
the side of o good boat SO that she could gs

GENERAL FITz JOHN PORTER has taken the
button off his foil in his combat with our
good Comptroller and stabs savagely at that
trusty official. Here, indeed, will be wit
messed fence worthy of the Hippodrome.
Our upright Comptroller is not the
man to be ''pinked" without making
the point of his smallsword whisk
in agitating proximity to his foemans
vitals. If the fight wakes warm and bad
blood is shed, so much the worse for the man
who bleeds If our jovial Mayor was only
on the ground, armed with fire trumpet
and acting as bottle-holder, the public would
be additionally delighted. The trouble is
all about street openings.

Pool SE1L1NG.-We are glad to learn that
the Grand Jury proposes to take action on

DISSOLVE THE TAMMANY DARK LANTERN So
c1ETY!-We print elsewhere an interesting
article from the EUering Post, in which ex-
Attorney General Barlow, Judge Fancher
and other prominent jurists express their
opinions as to how the Tammany charter
may be dissolved. They think it lies in an
action at law, and that the Legislature has
no power in the matter. They all agree that
its dissolution is obtainable. Let it be OBJ
tanned The charter was framed solely to
extend relief to proper objects of charity. :"
1t would make funny procession about the
City Hall, if John Kelly called the Tweeds,
Connollys, Sweenys, Ingersolls, Keysers and
Garveys, with all their following, to testify
that they were "objects" within the meaning
Of the charter. 1t would be the best defence
the burly, masquerading Grand Sachem
could make.

frightened the French government from buy

she ghost Of Khiva which hurried the Eng

RAPID TRANSIT. The order given yester-
day by the Supreme Court, General Term,
appointing Messrs. Oliver II. Palmer, John
T. Agnew and e. r. Lawrence, Commission
ers mainly to determine whether Third ave-
nue. is proper route for an elevated rail-
road, is another step forward in rapid transit.
We may expect tremendous efforts on the
part of the horse car company to procure a
negative reply to the question, but as the
line will be for the benefit of the entire city,
and not to suit the exigencies of close cor
poration, we have little doubt that the esti-
mable citizens appointed to decide this ques-
ton will do so fairly and honestly. The
people demand the Third avenue for rapid
transit. 1t is the best as the most obvious
line for such travel, and we hope the Com
missioners will waste no more time than the
law compels in arriving at the only proper
result.

The LATE SENATOR HARRIS, In the death
Of Ira Harris, which took place at ALBANY
yesterday. New York loses one of its most re-
spected citizens. Senator Harris came from
one of the families which went with Roger
Williams into exile. For nearly fifty years
he had been q member of the Albany Bar.
During that time he held various Offices
first as q member of the State Legislature,
afterward delegate to the Convention for
revising the constitution of the State subse-
quently as q member of our State Senate.
In 1847 he was chosen to be Judge of the
Supreme Court. In 1861, at the outbreak OF
the war; he was elected a Senator at the close
of contest memorable in our New York pol
itics between william M Evarts and Horace
Greeley. Mr. Greeley was opposed by the
friends of Mr.. Seward on account of his
action in defeating that gentleman at the
Convention which nominated Mr. Lincoln.
The election of Mr. Harris was compromise
between the two factions-Evarts, the Sew
ard candidate, and Greeley, the anti-Seward
nominee. Judge Harris was respectable
Senator, took an active part in debates, and
was always conservative, moderate and trust
worthy.

Washington. IL is part Of this campaign
that Mr.. Kerr should be Speaker. Link by
link we trace this whole canvass for the
Speakership from the nomination Of MIR.
Kerr in the West, until we find its source in
the secret, dark lantern, Know Nothing
councils Of the Tammany lodge on Four
teenth street.
We may try to cloud the truth in these
discussions, but the truth is clear. The
people Of New York saw it in the last cleo
ton Then they we're told by our demo-
cratic friends, and by none of them with so
much ability and eloquence and knowledge
of the facts as the World, that Tammany
Hall was above reproach that these impu-
tations upon its secrecy and its ambition
were partisan ISLANDERS, and that the people
would only be too happy to vindicate the
efforts of its leader, John Kelly, to purify
New York. Well, the people answered the
World by defeating Tammany by large
majority, even though Tammany was
strengthened by the support of Governor
Tilden and by the universal desire among
men without distinction Of party to help the
Governor in his campaign for reform. We
may say that'if this canvass for the Speaker
ship in Washington takes the same shape,
if Governor Tilden and his friends"
force Mr.. Kerr upon the country as
a part of the Tammany programme
for the Presidency, the country, when t
comes to speak on that question, will speak
with the emphasis shown by New York.
This country is coming to the conclusion,
irrevocably that the existence of secret So
cieties controlling our politics is incompati-
BILE with liberty. No matter how much
democrats and republicans may desire to
honor men Of personal character no matter
how much they may respect men as worthy
of respect as Mr. Tilden and Mr. Kerr and
Mr.. Kelly and others, they will do moth
ing to perpetuate this principle. If these
gentlemen are mad enough to believe that
they can gain power in the country by con-
tinuing the political dynasty which began
with the treason of Burr, and which bore
fruit in the rapacity and robbery of Tweed,
they have read the public heart of America
in vain. Tammany Hall must die sooner or
later. If the men in its organization like
Tilden and the rest could only see this
they would cut aloof from the association
and contribute to its destruction. 1t be-
longs to the past. 1t is an excresence,
sore, political cancer. 1t has no place in
any republic which respects democracy. 1t
is because the canvass for the Speakership
in behalf of Mr. Kerr is only part of the
Tammany programme to maintain power
that we oppose that canvass. Unless the
democrats in Washington are brave and dis
Greet enough to arrest Tammany in this
new movement to gain control of the coun-
try they will burden the canvass for the
Presidency as heavily as they burdened the
last campaign when they matched Greeley
against Grant, and compelled him TO carry
the odium and shame Of the Tammany Ring.

The Savings Banks and the Court,

Fortunately the run on the savings banks,
which followed SO naturally the several
failures, seems to have exhausted itself with
out having unnecessarily carried down any
more Of these institutions. There is an in
structed opinion abroad to the effect that
these establishments are all at bottom in
such condition that there would be ulti-
number Of them should 60 down now than
there would be if they should linger on and
fail at later day with ampler deposits.
However this may be- we regard it as for the
moment public advantage that the storm
has passed over This will be hard winter
with the poor of the city ; and its miseries
would be greatly increased if the many poor
persons who believe they have a little pro-
vision made in the banks should find that
source fail them in the bitter emergencies of
cold and hunger. It is to be hoped
that with regard to the banks that
have actually gone all is not lost. With
the case fairly in the hands of the courts we
ought to be able to feel some security in this
respect but it is TO be apprehended that the
courts do not take In cases of this sort pre-
cisely the same view that the public would
take. Courts should be regarded in such
matters as the adversaries Of all persons
related, however remotely, to the swindles
and as the defenders Of the victims 1t does
not seem to be proper that they should have
any inspiration from Albany, for next to
the savings banks the Banking Department
itself will need to be investigated. Through
delinquency, or for some other reason, that
department failed to perform its duty under
the law in regard to them, and is, therefore,
not free Of the charge Of lending its coun-
tenance, ifnot its assistance, TO their practices
against the public Ii the courts act in the
case Of these banks on advice from the de-
partment, investigation. in regard to its rela-
tions with them will prove Intellectual, and
the remedy Of the public against organized
swindling will not be satisfactory.

COMMISSIONER POTTER gives additional rea-
sons why the laborers on the Public Works
should not have two dollars a day. He asks
the Board Of Aldermen to put themselves
in his place, and then say whether the city
should pay more than the laborers are
willing to take from private contractors. II
he brought his argument, based upon the
great depression in the labor market home
to himself, we believe that great many
Commissioners of Public Works could be
found in New Jersey who would take half
his salary and do all the work.
