4 IJNDICiIION,

In his annual report to the House OF Repre-
scntativcs for the fiscal year 1865, cx-Sec-
rotary McCulloch presented the most able and
fearless review of the financial state and pros
poets of the country that has proceeded from
anv public officer within the last thirty years.
As that report is inaccessible to most of our
readers, and as its warnings, little needed at
the time, are now forgotten, we shall be doing
"A service to the public and the cause of honest
money in reproducing a brief summary OF few
of its points. After observing that call seri-
"Ous embarrassment, growing ont OF COM
"mercial intercourse between the people OF
different nations, results from failure in the

chg forward of those balances by extensions
"of credits" Mr.. McCullOch briefly reviews
the financial collapses of 1897 and 1857.
and speaks as follows of the dangers which
threatened the country at the close OF 1868:

Of an explanation. To whiten kerosene.
that is, to extract from it the tary
and sulphurous substances that give
1t brown hue, sulphuric acid is added, which
settles to the bottom and takes the impurities
with it. When the acid thus freighted il
drawn of, it is not remarkably odOrous. But
if it is poured out where it reaches water. the
sulphuric acid takes to that with moro affinity
than duck would, and Immediately the nlosl
horrible fumes arise. 1t is said to be no exag.

No wonder that the dwellcrs on Murray
Hill or any other place within two
miles of Hunters Point are stuffed by tho
Odors thence arising, if the manufacturers in
that dclectable locality allow the waste from
kerosene works to meandcr around the village.

ment. The action of the Aldermen in decd.
ing not to have the Flats filled in with earth
must keep them some time in their present
condition. Meanwhile our city fathers might
arrange for division of profits with the doc
tors and undertakers of the vicinity.

YORK A CENTER or SCIENCE.

In respect to almost the entire range Of
sciences, this city for many years had Il rcpu-
tation of Indifference. A few men of high
scientific rcputc arose among our citizens, and
achieved fame by their discoveries. But no
strong institution was ready here to give them
the facilities for rcscarch-to furnish costly
apparatus beyond the reach of their slender
purses, or to bring together for their study
any complete series of specimens illustrating
the progress of special knowledge. In other
cities there wer0 clusters of scientific men /;
their societies gained strength continuously and
with it an influence over the communities
where they resided wealthy citizens took i'll
tcrcst in their work. and science was advanced
New York, it was said, was totally wanting in
public spirit, in all such matters.
But within very few years there has been
a marked change in this particular Science
has penetrated our universities, and Columbia
College has opened wide her doors to receive
it, In a suburb of this city the Stevens Insti-
tutc has brought together and supplied with
every facility for their pursuits, men who have
won and are winning renown in physical dis
covcrics. Prof. Tyndal's visit brought sud
denly to light the fact that science was popu-
lar in Ncw-YOrk. Our local scientific societies
frightened into warmth, and one of them has
recently been so rcsenerated that it has taken
new name
To the enterprises which are to redeem our
city's reputation in respect to science, may now
add the American Museum Of Natural History.
1t much SURPRISES all the others in pcrmancncy
and extent of plan. At the last session of the
Legislature, 5000, 900 additional was apprOpri-
ated for this institution, which will enable the
trustees TO complete in the most thorough man
ncr their new fireproOf building, now exter
nally finished, at Central Park. This il, in
deed only portion of much larger struc-
turc that is planned; but it is in itself com
plcte. The intention is to make this building
and its contents especially of use to scientific
men who may wish to study the specimens
there collected; and work rooms and other
convenicnces, free for their use, will be pro-
yided.
In other columns a correspondent who has
viewed the Hall collection of geological and
fossil specimens at Albany, presents de-
scription of them which will give some notion
of the extent and variety of this most recent
acquisition of the American Museum. 1t may
he properly regarded as already purchased,
since Of the $50, 900 stipulated cost more than
$50 900 has been secured in the subscriptions
of liberal minded citizens. Its deposit in
fireproof building is a matter of Importance,
since the loss TO science if this collection were
destroyed by fire, would be simply irreparabe.
Ii contains an immense number of what are
called type specimens that is, those by which
species are known and described and they, of

BRITTONS LITTLE JOKE.

We never suspected District Attorney Win
chester BrittOn of being Il humOrist, although
we knew he had great many serious matters
to answer for but his reply to Mr.. +. ID.
Moulton's demand for Il speedy trial on the
Indictment for lbelng Mr.. Becchcr is one Of
the prettest specimens of light and lively let
ter writing that we have read this Summer.
- 1t would afford me great PLEASURE says Mr.
BrittOn, " to try YOU for any Oflcnse coming
"within the sevcrer duties of the Summer
months that is for any Oif,nse serious
enough to be made Jail case-but at present
there are several criminals who claim prece-
dencc. "Iatcr ON adds the District Attor-
ney, 81 may be able to accommodate you to
your entire satisfaction, and then you may
" have reason to rejoice that tie ordeal had not
"taxed your energies and forttude during the
heated term" We think it indeed probable
that Mr.. Moulton would not enjoy the luxury
of prosecution 50 highly as he Processes to
believe, and when he wrote To the District-At-
torney demanding IL trial at the earliest prac-
ticable day he must have known, il lie took
the trouble to reflect that the course of JUS
tee WAS not likely TO be fastened in the least
by his application.
It is natural however that he should feel
that he has got to do something. The great
trial has left him in position which to a SEN
stivc man would be insuppOrablc. A very
large majority of the jury have virtually
voted him libclcr and something worse, and
nothing but the destruction Of Mr.. Beecher
will ever reinstate him in the place he held
before-if even that can do it. The ruin of
the pastor of Plymouth Church is his only

hope. Unless he Is ready to step down and
ont. he must make up his mind to live III q
turmoil of Statements and lawsuits. For him
as we'll "a for bis friend it is struggle for
social existence. Now it is hardly reasonable
TO expect that the county will set the ma
chinery of the courts in motion for his per-
sonal qualification. The prosecution for libel
must traverse precisely the same ground as
the action for Grim. con-; there Is no new evil
dence there could hardly be more skillful
counsel. Mr.. MOultOn's request then is nothing
more nor less than that District-Attorney
Britton shall cause the six months battle to
he fought over again Immediately. with no
prospect of any other result than such as has
been reached already. Of course Mr.. BrittOn
has better occupation for his time.
If there is any difficulty, however, about
pushing the Indictment to trial-and indeed IL
seems to us highly improbable that 1t should
ever be tried at all-Mcssrs. Tilton and Moul-
TON need not be at loss. The District-At-
torney reminds them that 1T Is among the
"misfortunes of the civil courts that parties may
there indulge in all manner of quarrels ana
"cxploits, natural and artificial, at their WILL"
There is nothing to forbid their bringing q
new action against Mr.. Beecher for erin. CON-
and we nut Moulton and TiltOn together, Tor
they seem to be about equally Interested in it,
Their yindication can he obtained just as well
that way as any other; they need not wait tor

they make haste they can get jury before

coming intense and general-rcnders the search
for twelve men who have not formed an 0pin-

repeat their recent experiment on their own
account we do not see that they have any
right to complain that Kings County Is in no
hurry to do it for them.

Among the many admirable things done by

has been better than this manly uttcrance. 1t

what only the best members of the party
