GIVE AND TAKE.

DoN'r ever 60 hunting for pleasures.
They cannot be found thus, know;
Nor yet fall a-digging for treasures,
Unless with the spade and the hoe! :.
The bee has to work for the honey;
The drone has no right to the food;
And he who has not earned his money

The ant builds her house by her labor;
The squirrel looks out for his mast:
And he who depends on his neighbor

In short, tits no better than thieying,
Though thief is hard name to call,
Good things to be always receiving,
And never to give back at all.

Return of the Team.

The reception yesterday rendered to the
victors of Dollymount was well deserved
recognition of important services rendered.
1t must have in great part consoled the gem
tlemen to whom it was offered for the many
sacrifices and labors through which,
without hope of fee or reward, they
passed for the honor and good repute of
their country. Quiet and unobtrusive men,
they must have impressed the people they
met with in Europe as much by the modesty
and dignity of their department as by the
wondrous skill they displayed before
the targets. Only skilled rifemen can fully
understand the amount of self. denial and
patient labor that were required to achieve
the grand success which attended our men
in their contest with the best trained long
range rifemen in Europe. In teaching
foreigners that the citizens of this Re-
public have still the same cool, steady
nerve their forefathers displayed in
the struggle for independence, our rifemen
have rendered the country a great service /;
for it teaches those who dwell at a distance
that we have hands and hearts ready and
able to defend the national honor, though
no hireling troops invest our coun-
try. The feeling displayed toward
the team by the people was of the
most enthusiastic nature, though the
unfortunate downpour of rain interfered
sadly with the effect of the parade. 1t did
not, however, prevent the assembling of q
large crowd at the City Hall and along the
route of the procession, and everywhere the
members of the team were received with
warm demonstrations of welcome

THE IRISH QUESTION obtains new interest
because of the excitement occasioned by the
O'Connell celebration. In our Dublin letters
this morning we present an interesting
analysis of the situation, together with an
interview with O'Connor Power on the issues
involved between Ireland and England. Fol-
lowing the example of Mr.. Froude, the his
torian, who came to this country three years
ago to present the English side of the
controversy Mr.. Power purposes visiting
America to present the Irish view. This gives
his opinions as expressed to our correspond
ent a particular value and enables >us to
judge somewhat of the young parlimentarian
who is soon to appear among us.

State against the democratic party. In
Georgia, for instance it is probable that Gov
ernor Brown and Mr.. Stephens combined
could carry the State for any policy which
they approved, and by very large majority.
or course they would be powerless to carry
it for a policy of prescription. But there is the
best reason to believe that the republican
leaders, had they made such men the dis
pensers Of federal patronage in their States
and taken their advice as to a Southern
policy, could to-day have established large
and, we believe, a predominant republican
party in most of those States.
Nor is this a matter Of merely party inn
portance. 1t is of the greatest consequence
that there should be IN all the Southern
States two parties, each containing fair
proportion of the leading minds and the in
huential public men of the State There can
be no permanent political settlement down
there until this takes place. Unfortunately
the policy of the republican leaders has hith-
erto prevented it, by prescribing and reject
ing all the men of brains and real power in
the South, and giving federal place, power
and countenance alone to a class, part
strangers and part low whites and persons of
no influence, in whose hands the republican
party has perished.

The Two Pilgrims.

There can be no doubt that we are now
freshly embarked in the campaign for the
Presidency. The best evidence Of this is to
be found in the pilgrimages which have been
recently made by Governor Tilden and Gen
eral Grant The surest sign that politician
aims at continued advancement is when he
goes among the people" When we find
statesman as old as the Governor leaving the
comforts OF Saratoga and Long Branch to lee
ture the people of Albany and Buffalo and
Syracuse upon internal improvements, we
may well believe that he is not above the am
bition of ascending still higher in public
life. When we find politician as stolid as
General Grant, and as much devoted to his
comfort and his personal ease, leaving the
attractions of the seaside Branch and the
soothing and distinguished society which
there surrounds him, to attend Sunday
schools and clambakes we are at liberty to
put our own construction upon his motives.
The campaign for the Presidency may be
said to open with the pilgrimage of Tilden
to the salt mines of Syracuse, and with that
of Grant to the clambake of Rhode Island.
The character of these two pilgrimages
illustrates largely what we may expect in the
coming canvass. Governor Dorsheimer Is
the handsomest man now in public life. AS
he has served in both parties and been hon
ored by each he has an unusual experience
in public affairs. Governor Dorsheimer illus
trates in his person the value of regeneration.
A few years ago he was publicly sneered
at as beef-eater, as a vassal of President
Grant, as q hanger-on at conventions and q
stipendiary of the Custom House There
came change Of heart Dorsheimer left his
old party and found 80 much grace with the
new that he is now the second officer of the
State He is no longer beef-eater, no longer
vassal He is the representative of Young
America, the rising De Witt Clinton of the
State He is Jonathan" to King David. This
combination-th wisdom of Tilden and the
beauty of Dorsheimer-have made fine i'm
preston upon the State. The people have
had the opportunity of looking upon the
venerable features of our distinguished Chief
Magistrate. They have seen the ring
breaker. Already the artists of the campaign
are decorating their banners for Uncle SAM
and the political poets are finding rhymes
for Tilden. Soon we shall have ditties bur-
dened with Uncle Sam. All the while our
advice to the Governor is to make haste
slowly.

The theatrical outlook for this season is re-
markably promising. This week the theatres
open with rush. and we may look upon the
fall season as fairly inaugurated AS might

themselves with Characteristic dash into their

The spectacular DRAMA represented ut

"Around the World in Eighty Days" at the
Grand Opera House, will this week be rein
forced by second production of the same
story at the Academy of Music, which it is
promised will exceed in brilliancy of effects
any spectacle ever witnessed in this country.
Next week the serious drama will claim public
attention and two Hamlets dispute for the
crown of public favor. The appearance Of

to be of great interest. We are glad to SEQ,

do it in the spirit of generous rivalry and
appeal TO the Judgment and art taste of
the American public rather than to narrow

Unjust Discrimination by the Federal
Government.

It is an established fact, we believe, that in
this country one man is as good as another;
but it is not so evident that one State is as
good as another. Here for instance, is Hi
nois 1t is large State, fertile State, q
populous State, wealthy State 1t is the
State from which General Grant entered the
army in 1861 1t is the State from which he
appointed his excellent Minister to France.
1t is the State which contains General Logan.
1t is, on all these and many other accounts, a
State which does not deserve at the hands of
the federal government such grave and Of
fensive slight as has been and is put upon it.
We speak of the matter with pain, but in the
public interest we can remain silent no
longer.
Ku Klux have ragged in Franklin and
Williamson counties, in Illinois, not merely
for weeks or months, but for two years
'Shrouded sharpshooters" defy justice, and
murder and intimidate at their own ferocious
wills. The law officers Of the county and
State are, or seem to be, unable to check
violence or to punish murder and rapine
and yet we do not hear of federal interfer-
ence. General Grant remains unconcerned
at Long Branch while the laws are defed by
masked murderers in his favorite State.
There is no proclamation warning these
Illinois Ku Klux to disperse. There is no
summons of troops to go to the scene of long
continued bloodshed. The President, so
prompt to interpose his strong arm in South
Carolina or Louisiana or Mississippi, so eager
TO interfere in Arkansas in the cause of peace
and order, is utterly neglectful of Illinois.
Why is this? Are the people of Illinois not
as good as those Of Arkansas and Louisiana
Must men nowadays live south of Mason
and Dixon's line to be entitled TO the favor
able notice of the federal government?
Have Northern or Northwestern men no
rights that the President is bound TO enforce
with federal bayonets? Are Ku Klux to be
destroyed in the South and to be encouraged
in the North only? And if so, why? This
is matter which touches the pride of States
and of sections. AS Northern men we can
not see with patience such gross and long
continued favoritism on the part Of the
federal government towards the South.

OvERcRowDED STEAMERS 1t will be seen
from our report Of yesterday that the author
tiles have been taking active measures to
prevent the overlooking of steamers. This is
a subject that is thoroughly covered by the
law. There is no reason why the law should
not be rigidly enforced so as to prevent the
discomfort that is now visited upon so many
Of our people and the danger of an appalling
accident. During the midsummer months
the only opportunity that thousands of our
people can have for recreation in the country
is by taking the excursion boat and spending
the day in the woods or among the breakers.
AS we are anxious TO have New York made
0n attractive city during the summer, and as
it is part Of wisdom to bring the city into
close relations with its suburbs, there cannot
be too much care taken with these excursion
boats. If an example can be made Of two or
three Of them for overlooking it will have
beneficial result. The whole subject is one
which requires thorough investigation. We
trust that before the summer is over we shall
be enabled to chronicle a salutary reform.

More Bonds.

Comptroller Green advertises three hun
dred and seventy thousand dollars worth of
bonds and will receive bids for that amount.
These bonds are for city parks, to meet as
sessments and to pay claims and judg-
ments. The rate offered for city bonds is
gratifying to all who esteem the credit of
New York. This business of increasing our
bonded debt should come to an end. The
most serious complaint that we have to make
against Comptroller Green is that coming
into Office reformer, he has steadily added
to the burdens of our people. Now, it is
very certain that if business man managed
his affairs upon the principle of adding to
his debts every year by borrowing more and
more, the end would be sure bankruptcy
If a city like New York manages its affairs
upon the same principle, what else must
come but bankruptcy? New York
is a great, rich, powerful metropolis.
Under a good government there is no
reason why it should not from year to year
pay its running expenses. This borrowing
money and putting off the evil day and pay
ing the interest is the curse of our American
governments There is scarcely town or a
village or a corporation that does not feel that
its first duty is to go largely into debt We
are debt burdened people and New York is
a debt burdened city We shall believe in
no reform in New York that does not rest
upon the clear principle that every year tax
alton shall pay that years expense, and that
beyond this we shall not go. We do SO in
the national government, why not in this
city2 The Secretary of the Treasury is con-
stantly selling bonds and reducing the debt.
Here we are issuing bonds and constantly
increasing our debt. The best evidence in
the world that Comptroller Green is quack
fnancier as well as o fraud generally upon
good government is in this constant increase
of our bonded debt. If he were brave,
original, far-seeing man he would earn
title to the respect of his people by insisting
that New York should pay as it goes.

NEGRO INsURRECTIoNs IN THE SOUTH are
always problematical at best but the antici-
pated Georgia uprising is more absurd than
any that have preceded it. That all the white
men were to be murdered in a country where
the whites almost equal the negroes in num-
Der is an absurdity in itself, but that the
ugly women were to be included, while the
pretty ones should be spared, stamps the
whole story as a foolish canard. Even the
Southern negroes are not sufficiently igno-
rant to entertain a proposition like that con-
tanned in the confession of Jack Mooreman
and others.

The Creedmoor Fall Meeting.

A desire to make Creedmoor popular with
the whole country and encourage all classes
of rifemen to take part in the annual con-
tests is clearly shown in the programme pre-
pared by the National Rifle Association.
Small bore and military rifles have been
fairly classed, so that the competitors in all
matches will be placed as nearly on a condi-
ton of equality as possible. Members of the
National Guard will no longer find them
selves pitted, without an equivalent allow
ance, against men shooting with superior
arms. This system of classifying and
handicapping rifles will no doubt cause some
dissatisfaction among the possessors of
special arms, but it must commend itself to
the sense Of fair play of all disinterested
rifemen. Under the old system competitors
using the regulation arm were at terrible dis
advantage at the long ranges. The difference
in precision of firing between the regulation
and special arms up to five hundred yards is
not very considerable, but at all ranges be-
yond, the heavy charges and bullets of
special rifles gave competitors using them a
most unfair advantage This injustice we
are glad to see the Council Of the
Rifle Association has had the courage
to remove. Another pleasant feature
of the fall programme is the recognition
given to the off-hand riflemen. The intro
duction of an interstate match will do more
to make Creedmoor the American Wimble-
don than could be accomplished by any
amount of patriotic appeals. This year. no
doubt, the representation from the States
will not be very large, but next fall will in
all probability witness the assembling of
rihemen from every State to compete for
the championship of the Union. We would
suggest that the council go one step further
and introduce the Wimbledon system of dis
tributing prizes by stages in the champion
ship matches. 1t would tend greatly to
increase the interest felt by rifemen in these
contests, by preventing the few crack shots
from sweeping away all the important
prizes

BERNAED B1GL1N's ELECTION EXPENSES pre-
sent curious problem, and it is very re-
markable that there should have been an
arrangement between him and the Commis-
sioners of Emigration for compulsory sub
scription toward his election to the Assem-
bly,. II IS also noteworthy that he did the
express business Of the department about
the time he was member Of the Legislature.
Evidently there is something in this case
that ought TO be more clearly understood

Our CUBAN LETTER reveals important in
ness of the Spanish cause in the dependence
of King Alfonso's government for crushing
the insurrection. Two noted and wealthy
slave traders, Don Julian Zulueta and Don
Jose Baro, have been exalted into genuine
hidalgos and these, through the aid Of Vals
maseda and fresh levies from Spain, are the
only hope of subduing the rebellion. But
even this will not save the Spanish cause in
Cuba.

The time for the consideration of the ques-
