ever heard of Tammany Society giving one
dollar to relieve distress? This humane
and generous purpose has long since been
abandoned. Tammany Hall, which IN the
eyes OF the law is benevolent institution,
against which no one can complain has
grown to be secret political cabal, used by
thieves and political adventures for their
own gain and power 1t is to-day as illegal
as gambling or smuggling AS our contem-
porary, the Evening Post, well puts it,
"A more perfect peryersion could not be con-
ceived. If the Union Ferry Company, whose
business it is TO run boats between this city
and Brooklyn, should undertake to build
and work a railroad to San Francisco or if
an insurance company should direct its at
tention solely to the maintenance Of an inc
briate asylum or if the directors of bank
should attempt theatrical management-in
none of these cases would the departure
from Legitimate purpose be wider than it
is in the case of the charitable society Of
Tammany, which is now and for years has
been nothing but secret association of po-
litical managers" Clearly enough. therefore,
the duty of the Legislature is to give voice to
the will of the people of New York and to
abolish this charter which has become for
feited by the acts of its managers Let the
men who go to Albany ON the first Of the
year show that they will tolerate no longer q
monstrosity like Tammany If the mem
bers OF the society are really anxious to con-
tinue the work of benevolence they can
easily find means for doing this without
meeting in a club room and calling themselves
Indians and dancing around the council fire.
But Tammany to-day, achartered body, secret
in its deliberations, governed by irresponsi-
BILE political charlatans, is as much an evil
as was the existence of the Jacobin Club,
which claimed to make war or peace as it
pleased, to control France by its mobs and
to send to the guillotine the purest and best
citizens of the Republic when they failed to
do honor to ruffian like Marat or a fanatic
like Robespierre. Let mass meeting of
merchants be held. Let the business voice Of
New York unite with that of the independent
press, and cry "down with Tammany Hall"
and "down with every secret political infu-
ence which abuses the will Of the people and
enables peculators to gain Office and power.

England ana Exypt.

Now that the English government hAs pur-
chased the shares of the Suez Canal there is
great dissatisfaction in Paris as the special
shows, because the offer of the Khedive to
sell them to France was not accepted by the
government. All this is plain enough
now that it is seen that Eng
land has made a Characteristic move
in the great diplomatic game for the spoil OF
the crumbling Ottoman Empire. In one Of
Planche's happiest bits of humor the alter
native is put to warlike old gentleman to
pay or fight. ''Up with your banners or
down with your dust" England has lately
been in position analogous to that OF the
old knight. She has had the opportunity to
display once more in support of the Turk
''the flag that's brayed a thousand years the
battle and the breeze" But she has
been ioath to utilize the occasion. She has,
however, seized the earliest opposite to come
''down with the dust in the very practical
shape of securing property right in the
Isthmus of Suez. 1t is declared IN London
that this purchase is political, and this gives
it even more significance. Here is q case IN
which we see the modern commercial and
financial system changing the whole scheme
Of the relations of nations to one another.
England can now secure by purchase all that
in another period she must have obtained by
diplomacy or war. For what else does
she want of Egypt if she possess
this canal2 1t has been an admitted
point of British policy that Egypt must be
in the possession of England or of a Power
in friendly relations with her; whence the
support of Turkey and the recent announce
ment that if Turkey was given up England
must occupy her greatest dependency in
Africa, an announcement against which
Russia made no protest. but to the spirit OF
which she rather consented. Is Egypt OF
any other value to England than for the sake
of the route to India2 The best opinion in
England seems determined that the de-
pendency would be rather an embarrass-
ment than an advantage, except for this
route. If, therefore, England secures, as is
proposed, the full property right in the canal
and nationalizes the property as she has
done Gibraltar she will secure all that she
needs unembarrassed by the encumbrance of
the remainder of the Khedive's possessions.
Such result will be happy stroke OF
British foreign policy.

)ur Cable-Letter and Our Paris
Reading Room.
Our

Our pithy letter from Paris by cable gives
gay capital the activities of managers,
actresses artists and authors the plans
and programmes the dissensions and
legal skirmishes the quirks and quiddities
Of the witty, contentious and irrepressible
Gallo life. How ample scene the cable
sketches for us IN its few lines how filled
with notable people how well supplied with
the indications of the kind of labor that
makes an impression on the world Offen-
bach suing manager Rossi guessing at the
sensational possibilities of Shakespeare !;
Paris determined TO have the greatest Of
all circuses two American prime donne
storming the citadels of fortune; Worth, the
high priest of the sublime in feminine attire,
financially in danger These are few Of the
lively themes lightly 'laid in" on our can
vas Of Paris life.
This cable-letter, if we may coin word
which becomes necessary to explain the
modern steps in journalism, is now as much
of feature in the HERALD as our Washing
ton dispatches Paris and London are as
near to New York, in a newspaper point of
view, as Washington and New York were
when the telegraph first became a
system. In this sense journalism becomes
an assurance of peace. 1t binds the nations
together as it binds the States in a union Of
intelligence and peace. The Paris cable
letter, which must in time be followed by
other cabe-letters from the great news
centres Of the world, is a step in that
path Of progress which was marked by the
opening Of our Reading Room in Paris. This
Beading Room, on the Avenue de rOpera-
in the very heart Of the magnificent metrop-
olis-is, perhaps, the best Of the kind in the
world. Certainly, there is none 50 at
tractive for Americans anywhere. Here
are nearly two hundred and
fifty journals-representin thiry-nine
States-the best newspapers in the country.
Here also are the principal journals of the
cities Of the continent The American in
Paris will find his country 50 far as il can be
found in its journalism IN the Reading Room

A Musical hImcenns,

Mr. Samuel Wood, an old and highly
respected citizen and millionnaire pro-
poses to establish . College Of Music
in this city and to endow it with
the munifcent sum Of five million dol
lars. In another column will be found
the particulars Of this grand and unpre-
cedented gift toward the most beautiful
of the art sisters. Music has made such
immense progress in New York within the
past few years that it may now be consid-
cred as one Of the most popular studies of
the metropolitan public. The concert hall
and the opera house are more lberally pa
tronized nowadays than the theatre or the
lyceum. The liberality and enterprise Of
Mr.. Wood will undoubtedly be pro-
ductive of the highest beneficial ef-
feet in the interests Of music in
this city, and will make New York the centre
Of art. The native talent which is so album
dant here, and which has languished 50 long
for want Of encouragement can nov have
an ample opportunity to develop tself to
the fullest extent. Many q great artist in
the seasons 70 come may have occasion to
bless the memory Of the good man vito es-
tablished an institution in which the divine
spark Of genius in music was called into
existence

ANOTHER SAVINGS BANK has succumbed
the institution known as the Mutual Benefit
Savings Bank having susp ended yesterday.
The loss to depositors probably will not be
great, but the shock 70 public confidence oc-
casioned by the failure Of this and other
banks will be almost irreparable. One Of
the worst failures so far is that of the Man
ufacturers and Builders Bank. The show
ing in this case is worse If possible, than
in the case Of the Central Park Bank. In
the latter case it was utterly i'm
possible for the bank to make money !:
but nobody had vouched for the Sc
curity of the institution, while as recently as
the 10Th OF October the State Superintendent
of Banking certified that the Manufacturers
and Builders Bank possessed assets to the
amount Of one hundred and eighty thousand
dollars above its liabilities. 1t now turns
ont that the bank will be deficient at least
eighty thousand dollars. Naturally enough
the public will desire to know how Mr.. Ellis,
the Superintendent reconciles his certificate
with the actual condition Of the institution.
The question Is one which must be answered.

HENRY WILSON'S FUNERAL is seldom
the demise Of public man occasions such
sincere regret and widespread grief as have
been felt in the death Of Henry Wilson. His
unostentatious manners and ready sympathy
with the wants Of the people endeared him
TO the whole country, and lis countrymen,
forgetting all the prejudices which come
from party differences, united to do honor to
his memory when his life work was ended.
Since the death Of President Lincoln
there has not been such an imposing
funeral cort6ge in this city as that which es-
corted the remains of the dead statesman
yesterday from the Cortlandt street ferry to
the Grand Central depot. When conspicu-
Gus ability and tireless service earn such
honor we need not despair Of the Republic,
for while the hearts Of the people are respon-
sive to the generous emotions occasioned by
the death Of the Vice President the Ameri-
can masses, as they always have been, can
not fail To he true * liberty.

suicide

On Monday afternoon last aoout
O'Clock, Will Kennedy, boy some Twelve
wears of age, residing about four miles
from Cairo, Richie county cmmitted
suicide by hanging himself to tree.
The cts of the case, as we learn, are
these: He was sent to the mill with some
corn. and on the way one OF the bags
bursted, scattering its contents over the
road, He returned home, stated what
had happened. and was severely repri-
manded by his parents. His brothers
began haunting him by calling him corn
spiller" and other names, at which 1t Is
supposed he became so exasperated as 10
lead him to commit the horrible deed.
His absence was not noticed until near
night, his parents supposing he had
gone to some secluded spot to give vent
to the violent temper he possessed. About
9 o'clock that night the family, with
several of the neighbors, started out IN
quest of him, and after about two hours
search, he was discovered haning to the
limb of tree on the premises. lie had
nailed Il strap to the limb and fastening
it about his neck let hmsel! down. HIS
face was terribly scratched and the front
of hi, shirt torn, bearing evidence OF a
hard struggle. He was left hanging until
s o'clock the next morning, it being con-
sidered by them unlawful to cut INN
down until viewed by the Coroner

SENATOR JOHNSON ACCUSED OF
RRIKERY.

a dispatch 10 the NASHVILLE Tennessee
Times, says that Senator Ex-Presiden'
JoHN.ov Ia, been charged with bribery
in his election. II is stated that he paid
$4,000 to secure the support Of the Shel-
by county delegation in the late senator
ial contest, and joint resolution has
been adopted by the legislature to make
u full investigation in the matter.
1t must be that there is mistake in
this charge. ANDREW JOHNSON has been,
by no means, free from grave faults. Until
he became President, he always bore the
reputation of being a demagoguc, and
the hanging of Mrs. SUEEATT, must al
ways stick as most foul blot upon his
reputation; but We do not believe he has
been guilty of bribery. As far as honesty
goes nothing has ever been charged
against him, and the unself-hness with
which he administered the government,
lin striking contrast to the use made OF
the Presidential office for the advancing
Of personal designs by his Successor,( has
created Il decided sentiment in the EX-
President favor. The Investigation will
very likely be pushed through, and we
predict complete vindica.ion OF Mr..
JOHNSON He has had a great
many trials in his political life; but
he has always risen above them, and this
will be likewise overcome. 1t would in
deed be sad should it turn out that En-
President JOHNSON, of all men in
public life to-day, had succumbed to the
fatal influences which have furnished the
fair fame of the United States in the last
few years, and made her by-word for
official corruption throughout the world.
