Lincoln's Policy.

From the St. Louis Republican.I
The Hartford Comm Oou>
rant says:
Had Lincoln lived to carry
out the plan of reconstruction
which he had already begun to
devise, who can doubt that his
great good sense and his utter
lack of selfish motives would
have led to different results 7"
And who can doubt that if
he had attempted to carry ont
his plan, he would have met
with the same intense and wins
dictive opposition experienced
by his successor7 johnson en-
deavored to put in operation
the precise policy which Linz
coin had decided to inaugurate,
and no sooner did he take the
first step in the path Of concil>
liation and compromise than
he was set upon by the whole
Radical pack in full cry and
literally bounded from the be>
ginning to the end of his official
term. The same pack were
preparing to leap at Lincoln's
throat when the bullet of Booth
released and made a martyr Of
him. Fortunate bullet was it
for him. Had he lived a year
longer, he would have been
denounced as q traitor and q
rebel by the very men who,
since his death, have extolled
him as a purer and grandel
patriot than George Washing
ton. Never did a public per-
Fsonage make a lnckier exit
than Lincoln. He may have
died too soon for his country,
but he certainly died inst at the
right time for himself.

We said the other day that there would be no
want of volunteers for an Arctic expedition,
and that young men of thorough training and
scientific capacity would rejoice to undertake
the duty. To-day we publish letter from
Lieutenant Commander Edgar G. Merriman,
now commanding the United States flagship
Pawnee, who offers his services as leader of
an expedition to the North Pole, and who,
under certain conditions, sis willing and
ready to become responsible for its success or
failure" Lieutenant Commander Merriman
has had valuable Arctic experience with the
Polaris search expedition and has served
eighteen years in the navy. He is native OF
New York. and his offer shows a spirit and
resolution which is honorable to the State.
The embarrassment is not likely TO be found in
the lack of volunteers, but in the difficulty of
selecting from an excess Of capable asprants
for the service.
With this letter we print translation from
advance sheets sent TO rs by DR.. Petermann of
an address lately delivered at Vienna by Lieu
tenant Weyprecht, the leader Of the second
Austro-Hungarisn expedition. The scientific
results of that celebrated expedition, the eff
fects of Arctic cold and new plan for
governing Polar expeditions are embodied in
this interesting address.

The position of the HERALD toward the
rapid transit discussion is this:-We are in
favor of every plan that can possibly be sug-
gested of solving the great problem of quick
communication. The way TO obtain rapid
transit is to utilize what we have and begin at
the beginning. We have steam railway
running from Forty-second street to the Har-
lem River, and thence to every part of the
Union. This railway is double track and as
well built as any in the world. That is one
fact We have an elevated railroad running
from the Battery to Thirty-fourth street.
This was an experiment Timidly accepted
at first. it has steadily grown into favor. 1t is
not an inviting and attractive road, but thor
oughly safe, growing every day in popular
ity. 1t solves the problem of rapid transit by
conveying passengers from the Battery to
Thirty-fourth street in fifteen minutes Now,
why not make connection between the Ele-
waited Railroad, at Thirty-fourth street. and
the Harlem Depot? The track might
run through Forty fifth or Forty-sixth
street, could be carried over Fifth
avenue by a graceful bridge, and could con-
meet with the trains. This would be the be-
ginning of rapid transit, and from this begin
ming We could go on and build our west side
and east side roads and perfect the whole
scheme of quick communication. Let us have
anything for beginning.
IL we had statesmen among our rulers or
enterprise among our citizens to adopt COM
prehensive plan 10 would embrace three
features First, an east and west side
double track steam railway second, the COM
pletion of the Brooklyn Bridge, with steam
railway from the City Hall into Long Island I;
and, third, the tunneling of the Hudson, SO
that the trains from Philadelphia and the
South could come directly into New York.
BY this means, with railroads running in all
directions-to Kings, Westchester and New
Jersey--New York would have the same op-

One of the most frequent causes Of COM
plant against Comptroller Green is his de-
meanor toward all who have business with
him. Mr.. Green's unfortunate temper breaks
out on all occasions. In this respect he
resembles very much the accounts we have
of Secretary Stanton when he first took
charge of the War Department. A re-
port of any of the proceedings in
which the Comptroller takes part reads like an
old-fashioned Tammany Hall meeting. We
have the Comptroller, when he is Sarcastic"
and ''stern," suspecting everybody, resenting
any proper inquiry and assuming that he is the
only honest man in the world This results
from overweening egotism, and we have little
doubt that vanity underlies many of Mr..
Green's mistakes.
1t is always an indication Of narrowness Of
mind for public officer to show bad temper
in the discharge of the duties of his Office.
The first duty of an official is to be courteous
to those who seek him. People have right
to complain seriously when public officials
who are, after all, their servants
treat them with suspicion and con-
tempt, or without due regard for
the conventionalities and amenities of life.
If we could trace the cause of the opposition
to Mr.. Green which is now so general q large
part of it would be found to result from his
own angry and ungenerous temper. The les
son which his unpopularity teaches is that
those of our citizens who are in public station
should remember that when they become
ofdce-holders they do not necessarily cease to
be gentlemen.
