The Failure OF the Third Avenue
Savings Bank.


The old, old story is told again in account
ing for the failure of the Third Avenue
Savings Bank The funds of the bank were
unwisely locked up in securities which were of
very doubtful value before the panic and
have since become little better than waste
paper. The bank has been in difficulties
before and has been subjected to runs"
In 1872, to save itself temporarily, the bank
disposed of most Of it's good securities,
retaining only those that were questionable,
and leaving itself in a crippled condition.
1t has managed to live since then although
not harmonious in its councils, and at last it
goes to Albany, makes an application to the
Attorney General for the appointment of q
receiver and closes its doors This is the
story. OF course it was natural that the con-
Germ should break down at last, and it is con-
soling to know that its dissolution is so COM
pletely in order-that the rottenness Of the
institution can be so clearly traced back to
"before the panic"-that we need be under
no apprehension of any extended i'll conse-
quences as a result of the failure. The only
sufferers will be the poor creatures who have
intrusted their hard-earned savings to the
rotten bank, and all of these united can have
no effect on the great moneyed interests or
create even passing rufiie on the surface
of the street"
But then. certain questions will suggest
themselIes 70 Ihe Suuous mind. Il this
concern know itself to 10 virtually bankrupt
two or three years ago BY what right did it
continue TO induce the public TO believe in
its soundness, and where was the honesty of
accepting deposits frorh poor people who
cannot afford TO lose their few dollars SO well
as the directors of the bank can afford to
lose their thousandsp What security can
there be for the unfortunate depositor if our
savings bank laws permit bankrupt insti-
tuition, loaded with worthless securities to
continue it's business for three years and
extend the circle of its victims Are the
laws, indeed, to blame, or is the evil due to
the neglect or incapacity of those whose
duty it is to enforce them There must
certainly be fault somewhere, and the re-
sponsibility should be fixed where it be-
longs. Better that all the savings banks
should be wiped out of existence than that
depositors should be left at the mercy Of in
stitutions which can use the money Of the
industrious poor for two or three years only
to postpone the day of bankruptcy. One
thing is certain-the management of this
bank has not been such as to claim public
confidence, and it seems outrageous to make
one Of its old managers or officers the receiver.

rules which apply to such utterances, would
present. On the contrary, we believe the
American people may rejoice over great dan
gers past; over a momentous change happily
and generally accepted and accomplished;
over enemies who are friends and country
men once more and who need only time and
a manly consideration on our part for their
disappointed hopes and the changes forced
upon them to make them rejoice at their
failure We believe that with only moderately
good government we may securely look for
ward to period of great national prosperity
and happiness, and of liberties securer than
ever before-that we are at the beginning of
the greatest era of our national history.
1t is pity that the President does not
believe this also

The Grand Jury's Warming.

The presentment made yesterday by the
Grand Jury Of the Court Of General Sessions
is not a pleasant document to contemplate.
That body, which possesses extraordinary
facilities for eliciting facts concealed from
the general public, deems it its duty to
declare that the citizens Of New York, in con o !
sequence of the inefficiency of the police
force as at present constituted, are not
secure in the possession Of either life or
property that cool and deliberate murderers
escape without detection or punishment !;
that the Excise laws are not properly en-
forced that there is no combined and har-
monious action between the Excise and
Police Commissioners ; that violators of the
law, when arrested by the police, are dis
charged or held to bail so insufficient as to
insure their escape, even though the evi-
dence Of their crimes is full and ample.
These facts were all previously known to our
citizens, but brought thus formally and SOL
emnly before the public eye in the shape of
presentment by Grand Jury they become
moro impressive. The picture drawn by the
Grand Jury may induce the people of New
York, on the eve of an election, to reflect ON
the sort Of city government they have
secured as the result of their Last verdict at
the polls

Telegraph Rntes.

On Monday next the Anglo-American Tel
egraph Company will increase its charges TO
one dollar per word At present the rate is
twenty-five cents This is difference that
must necessarily be Of very considerable con-
sequence to all that portion Of the public
which uses the cable freely TO have to pay
four thousand dollars where you formerly
paid one thousand is Of consequence to every
body, and the burden is none the more agree
able becauseit is imposed by tho mere stroke
of pen in London. But what is the
cause? Will it cost any more TO cable
words next week than it costs now Z
VIII labor be any dearer? Has any
body made terrible corner in the raw ma
terials of electricity No. 1t is the one
word monopoly that explains it all. Some
days ago the Direct cable was in operation
and the rate went down TO twenty-five cents.
Now the Direct cable is crippled and the
rate goes up to one dollar. This rich COM
pany put its rates down to crush COM
peting line, and now it puts the rate up
again to make the public pay for the opera
exorbitant charge for the service. Twenty
five cents is an ample rate, and this offensive
exhibition of the power to levy this ex-
travagant toll on commercial, financial and
other interests is the strongest evidence of
the need for more cables.

The ..Kanen Regatta.

Our yachtsmen were unlucky yesterday
in sailing the "Kane" regatta The weather
was inconstant and played sad tricks with
the vessels. OF the sixteen yachts that
proudly unfurled their sails there were only
eight which went out into the sea- Commo-
dore Kingsland's pretty vessel, the Alarm
went ashore on the West Bank, but received
no special harm. The Mohawk, Vice Commo-
dore Gamers celebrated yacht, was becalmed
tune befell the Resolute. Outside there was
heavy head sea, which carried away the
masts of the Peerless. These misfortunes,
small and great, made the day one of inter-
est if not of enjoyment We can hardly call
it regatta where one-half of the vessels
fail to take part from causes beyond their
control. AS the turfmen would say, it was q
'dead heat" and we should have another
meeting, if for no other purpose than to show
what our yachtsmen can do with an autumn
breeze and an autumn sea. The only first
class schooner that went over the course was
the Atalanta. There were two second class
schooners- Comet and the Estelle-the
former winning. None Of the first class
sloops sailed the course, while the
Sadie was the only second class
sloop that was fortunate enough to
do SO. We regret that Rear Commodore
Kane, who gave the prizes for this regatta
was not more fortunate, as his generous and
enterprising liberality, and his zeal for the
interests of the cluh deserved all the hon0rs
that can rest upon yachtsman's flag. Our
yachting clubs were never in a more prosper
Gus condition, and especially the New York
Club, under the command of Commodore
Kingsland The New York Club has
now fine club house at the anchorage
on Staten Island. This is like the club
house at Cowes, the rendezvous Of the Eng
lish squadrons, and it is owing largely to
Vice Commodore Garner, whose efforts on
behalf Of yachting deserve special recognition
and honor

Charles Francis Adams.

There was no disinclination in the Massa-
chusetts Convention to have done with
Grantism, and even to give formal notice Of
its difference with the administration on sew
eral points Of public policy. But though
they were ready for any rebuke Of Grant
they evidently had no quarrel with Vice
President Wilson. Indeed, it was that gen.
tleman's "tea party" and the whole enter
prise was in his hands. Now Mr.. Wilson is
clearly of opinion that there are plenty of
ways Of expressing disapproval of the ad-
ministration without going to the wild
extremity of nominating for Office the
best men in any community. That
is not precisely his notion of reform
in the republican party. He wants to kill
Grant politically, Of course but he wants to
kill him with men who are at least no larger
Intellectually than Wilson. If Mr.. Adams
had been nominated by the Convention he
might have been elected Governor of Massa-
chusetts and an original republican Of his
character elected Governor Of Massachusetts,
in the present conditions, might have ap-
peared to the next National Republican Con-
vention figure of Presidential proportions.
1t would not square with Mr. Wilson's views
Of the future to have this happen.
The New York herald., 1875-10-01

The Episcopal CONVENTION YESTERDAY
listened to Bishop PotteT's annual address,
which was mainly devoted to urging the duty
Of continuing the labors Of the missions and
other enterprises Of the Church, notwith-
standing the depressed financial condition Of
the country. There IS money enough, says
the Bishop, but il is locked mp here because
people have not enough confidence ID each
other to put it in circulation But the
Church deserves confidence and yields a re-
turn for all that is given to her Tho Bish-
ops argument is financially sound, and the
missions can no doubt be well supported
without imitation. The review Of the prog
ress Of the diocese made by the Bishop at the
last Convention rendered it unnecessary to
repeat the details now. The financial re-
ports were all satisfactory.
The New York herald., 1875-10-01

Hon. FERNANDO WooD requests US to deny
the statement of the New York infationists
that he is raising money for the democratic
canvass in Ohio" He has neither raised nor
given dollar ito assist the election of
Allen" 1t is a strange condition of affairs to
see democratic leader in New York denying
with emphasis and as though it were
o serious imputation upon him, that
he had ''given one dollar to assist
a brother democratic leader in Ohio.
If Mr.. Wood does not think the election
of Allen worth dollar of democratic
money what does he think Of the election
of Hayes2 And if our New York democrats
all feel this way now how will the Ohio and
Indiana and other democrats in the West
feel when the New York delegates appear at
the door of the coming Democratic National
Convention Would it not be amusing to
see these boiling democrats shut out by
Western votes, and Uncle Dick, at the head
Of paper collar rag money delegation, ad-
mitted2

The Autumn Races.


The autumn meeting at Jerome Park
promises to be a season of unusual enjoy
ment if this glorious weather holds. We
do not see why our Derby should not be run
in the autumn, why we should not make Oc-
tober the chief month in the racing calendar.
This seems to be the purpose of our turf
men We feel sure that if the horses could
have their say they would prefer autumn for
their contest to an enervating day in spring.
The spring days have beauty which is not
to be contemned and we can understand
why in England and France they should be
chosen for racing. England and France do not
have the American October. That blessing,
like the Beecher trial and the Star-Spangled
Banner, Providence has denied them.
We should be law to ourselves in this,
and make our racing meetings to suit our
season. October is our coronal month
Then nature rises to her full majesty. Then
is the time when we can completely enjoy
the ride to Jerome Park, one of the finest
drives in the world, before which those to
Longchamps and the Epson Downs must
surrender their worldwide fame. And If
we only had Comptroller who did not feel
that municipal reform" was municipal
strangulation, how much more attractive the
approaches to the Park might be. But even
Green cannot last forever and after Green
we shall have the Westchester end of our city
made worthy of the metropolis.
Green is always tempting subject as
we pass along, but our concern is with the
races. The stables are full, and some of
is truth that we hear, any one Of them
would make better comptroller than the
present incumbent Mr.. Donahue's hurd-
lers, we know, have more sense, more
conscientious devotion to duty, and more
skill in their performance than two-thirds
Of the men who will be nominated to of
fee by O'Kelly or Van Shafer. We would
match Deadhead, for instance, any day
against Judge Quinn, either for
hurdle-leaping or for downtown can
yass. And much as we respect
the O'Morrissey, especially since he took to
hearing Moody and Sankey and has sold
his gambling shop, we believe that, in fair
race for the Senatorship, Ascension or Calvin
or Galway would give him weight and lead
him to the winning post. The value of
these horses is that, like O'Morrissey, when
they go in they mean to win and not to
throw their hackers. Already more than
one hundred and twenty horses have arrived.
They are in fine condition. There was
rumor few days since that, like the
democratic politicians in Ohio or the
Loring men in the Massachusetts,
Convention, they had the epizootic.
Some Of them coughed as violently as Pig
Iron Kelley. But they are all well now.
The horses, not the politicians, will make
run on Saturday and the succeeding days
that will teach lesson in running even to
the infationists. L. p. Lorillard, j. B. Pryor,
John M. Davis, Z. Snedicor, Jeter Waldron,
J. Pincus, Price McGrath and D. Mcdaniel
have all good stables, filed with horses that
will stand investigation and in their behavior
under trial respect public opinion. This is
good deal more than we can say of Grant
and the present administration.
