U1PPY AND MERRY!

II i, curious to consider how much man
makes 1t the business of life to be merry.
The long faces, except during some period OF
public calamity, are the exceptions. We for
tify ourselves against depression by repeating
proverbs and by singing songs. 1t is poor
heart that never rejoices; There is IA time to
laugh; Care killed the cat o what's the use Of
sighingf Away with melancholy; Care to our
coffin adds nail no doubt, And ev-
cry grin so merry draws one out. So
determined is this tendency in our nature, that
we consider q prolonged indulgence i'll de
spOndency for any reason either as weak
ness or an affectatiOn; the low-spiuted are
made to understand that their company is not
agreeable; and we speak rather cOntemptuously
OF them IA "hyp'd." The poor imprisoned
prince in the play said he could remember how
the young gentlemen in France used to be
sad as night for only wantonness;' but
he thought if "he were out of prison
"and kept sheep he should he as merry as
"the day is long," and sometimes, when we
have less Gauss than this luckess boy for
wishing, we too banker for life different
from that to which we have been called. But
man, the animal who laughs, is as rule cheer
full. Now and then, indeed, we meet with
people of astonishing spirits uniformly ami
mated and with such genius for looking upon
the bright side that they are Invaluable to
society and a blessing in any house. Moth
ing puts them ont they exceed themselves at
weddings, and they move at funerals with a
decent gravity which has no despair III 1t, and
is never unreasonably prolonged. Sometimes
it happens that they have sorrows of their own
which by an effort they put away for bedtime
and solitude, taking care not to betray them lest
they mar the joy of any occasion, or give pain
to the sympathetic. These are real heroes
oftener. perhaps, heroines. They ought to
make weepers and sighers and groaners
about nothing ashamed of themselves
They carry sunshine with them into what
soever dark places they may go; in all
times OF trouble they are sought for "a "the

of Republican Committee. and passed by
y .yubican Senate, there was small chance Tor
making party capital out OF it, There was
some disposition to hold Gov. Filden RESPONSE
BILE for signing 1t, but that was so transparent
dodge that but little was made OF
it. As the Republicans have absolute CON
troll in both branches Of the Legislature we
shall look to them to repeal the offensive
clause in the act Of incorporation at an early
day after the opening OF the session. we
have not the slightest idea that there was any
insidious design in the passage OF this section
of the act referred to, but it is fact that the
precedent established is unwhoesomc and dan
gerous and we presume there will be no seri-
Gus opposition to its repeal. With that and
with the adoption Of Mr.. Blaine's proposed
amendment to the Constitution on the School
question, public sentiment as opposed to any
DO sible designs of the Roman Catholic Church
to interfere as a church in our politics would
seem to have been sufficiently crystallIzed to
enable us to take rest from that feature OF
the question.
Not unlike the feeling Of hostility to Catho-
lie interference with the schools IS that when
has been awakened by Bishop Gilbert Haven
in his request to the clergymen OF the Metho-
dist Episcopal Church that they should pray
for the reelection Of President Grant. This
was, under all the circumstances, so much like
mixing of Church and State, and very
practical and significant mixing too, that
there was general protest at once from all
quarters. A great many honest people who
had been seriously disturbed over the danger
they believed to be imminent of the Catholic
Church interfering in our politics, hearing OF
Bishop Ravens open and bold bid for the re-
election of Grant to convention of clergy
men of the Methodist Church, turned round
at once with, $780, so; the Methodist Church
sis going into politics. is itT And public
opinion very soon made itself understood,
even, we suspect, to Bishop Haven, that
it was not n question of which church
should run the political machine, but
profound conviction that no church should as
a church interfere with political affairs 1t
is not safe for any denomination, church, or
sect TO ask special privileges or mix in politics.
The people will have none of it, and whoever
the offender will rebukc it. President Grant
may or may not be renOmnated One thing
seems to us to have been made certain by the
responses from all parts of the country to
Bishop Ravens appeal, and that is that the
Bishops action damaged vastly more than 1t
helped him. Sectarian politics may in very
far distant future become by some calamity
possible 1t certainly is not now, and what
ever church functionary undertakes any step
in that direction will be pretty sure to burn
his fingers.

AUDITOR TH4YEES FATE.

The Governor has suspended Auditor 1hayer
No fair-minded citizen OF whatever party can
doubt that the suspension Is deserved; ana
the report of the Canal Commissioners, printed
Yesterday, makes tho necessity for prompt
action clear. Mr.. Thayer is sworn to audit
the claims against the treasury of the State,
on account of the canals He has awaited HIM
self of this position to delay the audit until
the weary creditors were eager To sell their
claims at a ruin0us discount. has had them
bought mp, and has thereupon promptly audited
them, got the pay. and pocketed the heavy
discounts which tho luckless creditors lost.
Ffty-eight several acts of this sort are re-
ported by tho Commissioners. In these
the Auditor bought up, at ruinOus discounts,
S31s,343 81 of claims against the treasury,
which he falsely said there were no funds to
paw, and which were promptly paid as soon as
they passed into his hands. On one claim of
$50 200 he made SO, 800. On some Others he
appears to have made larger, on Others smaller
profits. The facilities for doing the business
were secured him by an Improbable bank in
which he was stakeholder, and to which he
secured heavy deposits of the States money.
This showing seems to be ample. The
Auditor was heard before the Commissioners,
and his own testimony gives the fullest con-
firmation of every charge which they have
made against him. 1t is a striking proof of
the general decentralization that the man did
not seem to be conscious that no had done
anything wrong, and tonight he doubtless
considers himself grossly injured individual.
But we do not believe that the States credit
ors will be put off by the next Auditor with
the story that there are 10 funds. until they
are wearied into selling him good claims at
heavy loss, only that he may promptly draw
the ful amount

SECT4RIANISM IN POLITICS.

We arc lust now illustrating the peculiar
constituencies which We have "a people to
ANYTHING that looks like a confusion OF the
well marked lines between Church and State !;
furnishing very striking exhibition of the
jealousy with which we regard whatever looks
IKE an encroachment by any religious estlb-
lishment sect, or denomination upon the
proper domain of politics. SO far we are true
to all our traditions; so far acting in the full
light of experience and history in recognizing,
with the keen instincts that may perhaps have
come down TO us from the veins of the Puritans
and Huyuenots, tho first signs of interference by
any church in purely political affairs. 1t was
with something OF tins feeling of hostility to
the mixing up of Church and State, or as 1t
was then called "bringing religion into poll
d" ties" that the action OF religious 0rganlza-
TONS churches, societies and associations,
and of clerymen, as such, in the great slavery
controversy that was at its hight from 1884
till the end of the war, was condemned by
many, criticised by more, and received by many
more under silent protest. The con-
certed action of Northern clergymen and
of religious bodies was vigorously de-
nounced by the Democrats as improper
and dangerous, and the argument might have
been effective had not the greater peril alb
soibed public attention. The Democrats in
using the argument showed how well they
knew the popular feeling upon the subject.
They kept it up actively AMI energetically
until actual war began, and in that presence
the danger of priestly domination or dictation,
or of union of Church and State, fell into
insigniicance and dropped ont of the contro-
versy.
The political managers in the Republican
organization only recognized the existence Of
this senstiveness in the public mind, though
they may perhaps have Oyerestimated. 1t or
miscalcullted their opportunity, when they de-
hberately resolved last Summer to make n
desperate struggle to retrieve their failing for
tunes upon ths issue Of sectarianism III poll
ties. To be sure, they had little or no pretext
| for it, but that made no difference they reck-
| oned upon " firing the popular heart " with
! suggestions of possible danger to the school
system, and carrying themselves safely through
on the top of the wave of excitement. 1t Is
with this view and this only that all the dis
/ turbance has been made by local politicians,
and the subject been dragged by the Presi-
| dent of the United States into his annual
message to Congress. Had what is called the
"Gray Nuns act" been passed by our State
| Legislature last Winter under any other cir
cumstances, doubtless much political capital
would have been made ont Of it by tho Ad-
ministration party. But as it happened to
have been offered by Republican Senator,
reported fayorably by Republican Chairman
