Deputy Attoncy-Gencral Fairclild's state
ment. given elsewhere, of the conversation
between himself and Mr.. McGuire in reference
to Mr.. Hammond, ellectually dispels the cloud
of campaign lies which have been thrown
about it. Beyond setting this minor scandal
at rest it is also of interest as showing the
remarkable unanimity of opinion at Albany
about Mr.. Hammond, who considers himself a
perseeuted man because the pubic will
not admit that two years of honesty III
the Legislature atone for sixteen years OF
stealing and blackmail in the Attorney-Gen-
erals Office. Mr.. Fairchild exhibits little
natural resentment at the treatment of him by
the Republican press. No honorable man faith
fully doing his duty to the State likes to be
treated with greater indignity than the worst
of canal thieves. Mr.. Danforth may not be
responsible for this, but he certainly could
have stopped it. The Albany Journal which
has been foremost IN this business, is largely
owned and edited by an intimate friend, if not
relative, of Mr.. Danforth.

No event in Brooklyn-unless it were the
removal of Mr.. Beecher himself to another
congregation-could produce a more marked
sensation in religious circles than DIR. StorlS's
acceptance of call to New-Nork. DIR. Storrs
is unquestonably one of the most accomplished
pulpit orators in the country. The call from
the old Brick Church was presented early last
week and accepted on Saturday.

umn We have examined the matter with care
and candor, and with every disposition to

the good opinion of many of his neighbors,

New-York tribune., 1875-11-01

A reduction of about two per cent in the
estimates of the cost of governing this city for
the coming as compared with the past year is
the total measure of economy that taxpayers
can now hope for. The reduction is principally
under the head of estate Taxes" and in the
absence of further appropriation for the
Fourth-ave. Improvement, while on the other
hand there is an increase of the amount paya-
bic for interest on the debt In nearly all the
other appropriations the differences are so
small that it looks very much as if things
were going OH in the old way.
New-York tribune., 1875-11-01

Absolutely the only objection anybody has
urged to the election of Peter b. Olncy to the
District -Attorneyship is that he has not had
such experience as to assure voters of his fit
ness. No man is more scrupnlous on such
points. and no man is farther removed from
mere partisan considerations than Charles
O'Conor. Mr. O'Conor, in published card, pro-
nounces Mr.. Omey thoroughly competent, an
able lawyer, with precisely those traits, stern
integrity and unyie!ding vigilance, which a
District Attorney most needs. There is no
authority on such a subject in New-York so
high and so universally trusted as Charles
OCOnOr.
New-York tribune., 1875-11-01

A letter from Philadelphia furnishes care
full review of the political situation throughout
PENNSYLVANIA. Both parties have been 80 tim
orous about the really important issues of the
campaign that no forcibe efforts have been
made on either hand to change the convictions
of the mass of voters. This condition of al
fairs might be supposed to facilitate the fore
cast of Tuesdays vote, but it only renders
evident probability that the contest will be
IA pretty close one, and that much depends
upon the strength which the Prohibition party
exhibit.
New-York tribune., 1875-11-01

The opinions which Minister Gushing must
necessarily have expressed in his mysterious
memorandum on the Cuban conflict are, no
doubt, irritating to Spaniards who persist
emily hope to reGstablsh royal authority III
the rebellous island. Unwelcome advice to
the Government at Madrid seems to be the
order of the day, as The London Times advises
them to abandon "a distant dependency which
"can never be governed save by military
"power" rather than run the risk of dismem-
bering the monarchy. The traditional friend
illness of England for Spain gives this opinion
more than ordinary significance

Misapprehenslons regarding the visit of the
Emperor William to Milan are explained by
Mr.. Trollope in a letter on another page. lie
shows that both the King of Italy and his
guest were in accord in making Milan instead
of Rome the place of meeting. This decision
makes it all the clearer that it is not with the
Pope personally, but rather with the tendencies
of the Vatican, that both mOnarcbs are more
or less in conflict. 1t is noteworthy that re-
hecting men in Italy, as well as elsewhere
anticipate a severe struggle.

Speaking of dogs andP reform
the attention of tho Postmaster-General
is called to the state Of the postal service
in Milwaukee. There is said 10 be man
living there who is the proprietor of a
bulldog of unprecedented ferocity.
The animal passes the day upon the
front door steps of his owner. In conss-
qeunce Of this four hundred letters ad-
dressed to the gentleman have accumu-
lated in the hands OF the postofiice car
rier. The dog has some objection to
their delivery. and the postman, rather
then else, prefers unlacerated legs.
When the Department supplies iron
trousers. that carrier Will do his whole
duty-not before. Dogs on door steps
will probably be discussed in the next
report Of the postmasterG General. and

said about them. The Milwaukee dog
