tice will quietly grow if mischief-makers and
/ busybodies do not provoke hostility by
arousing religious prejudices. The resolu-
I ton on the subject Of the currency is sound
I enough, but the democratic party will adopt
one equally strong and as New York is
unanimous on this subject, no votes will be
gained on either side by declarations against
initiation
The ticket is respectable, but not strong.
The only two candidates who are generally
known are Mr. Seward and Mr. Spinner
the former as the worthy son of an eminent
father, and the latter by long service as
United States Treasurer. No man in the list
has been prominent and influential in State
affairs. No man in the list has a strong
body of followers or in private position
could contribute much to the success of a
ticket beyond his individual vote. Had Mr.
Evarts or Mr.. Bigelow or Judge Robertson
yielded to solicitations and consented to be
candidates the ticket would have been
strengthened by their recognized standing
But as it is, every candidate owes his i'm
portance to the fact that he has been nomi-

Merritt, put on to please the liberals, and
his nomination probably receives the support
of his friend Mr.. Fenton, who is an active,
dexterous politician. The nominations went
a-begging, and with the exception ofMessrs.
Seward and Merritt the candidates are a
second or third choice, taken up after men of
greater mark had refused to run
The whole proceedings of the Convention
bear the impress of weakness. The candi-
dates it preferred have no confidence in the
success of the party and refused to be put on
a ticket destined in all probability to be
beaten The excellent resolution against O
, third term was like throwing part of the
cargo overheard to tighten the sinking ship.
The dragging in of the school question by
the ears is like the desperate clutching of a
drowning man at stray chip in the hope that
it might keep him aAoat. The fifty thousand
democratic majority of last year is not likely
to be overcome by such desperate expedients,
in the face of the strong popularity of Gov
ernor Tilden, which his democratic and
republican enemies are alike constrained to
recognize

The investigation into the causes Of crime
in this city is likely not to be wholly barren
of results Before the labors of the commit
tee charged with this important work have
been brought to a close light will have been
thrown on many dark spots in the public
service. Yesterday some evidence was pro-
duced which went clearly to show that much
of the UNPUBLISHED crime of this city is due
to the corruption or incompetence of the
District Attorneys Office. This is a state of
things that demands immediate attention.
Every consideration of public policy de-
mands that so important branch of the de-
partment of justice should be relieved from
the suspicion of sympathy with the criminal
classes The evidence so far adduced points
to the fact that against influential criminals
the law is powerless. 1t is no wonder, under
such lax administration of justice, that
crime should be rampant and murder an
every day occurrence. Reform is needed
here of q thoroughly radical and sweeping
character, for under the present system
neither life nor property can be considered
safe while the very officers appointed to pun
ish crime use their powers to shield the Grim
inal from the vengeance of the law.

The CARIsTs News from Madrid must
generally be taken with ga grain Of salt,
but there is no reason 10 doubt that the pros
poets of the Carlist cause are well nigh as
gloomy as they are painted by the enemies of
Carlism. Dorregaray is in full retreat before
the forces of the Madrid government, his own
bands reduced to a mere handful. Catalonia
is on the point Of being pacifed, and the
government have resolved to make q serious
effort to capture Estella History is repeat
ing itself The hardy mountaineers Of the
four northern provinces have exhausted
themselves in the effort to impose their will
ON Spain, and now the moment has come
when they must abandon the fight or be ex-
Terminated. In continuing hopeless
struggle Don Carlos displays selfshness
and indifference to the wellbeing of his
friends that ought to disgust them with ''di-
vine right of kings, and no doubt would, were
it not for the religious fanaticism which Is
the great prop of the Carlist Cause

the Ralston family resent this can be judged
from the resolutions passed by the meeting
and the active measures of retaliation they
have resolved on. Perhaps the best tribute
that can be paid to the memory of the late
Mr. Ralston is the warm and large hearted
interest shown by his fellow citizens in his
good name

THE CENTENN1AL-The intelligence of
French worlzingmen is proverbial. They
are adopting resolutions urging on the mer-
chants of France the necessity of having the
industrial products Of their country properly
represented at our Centennial Exhibition In
this they display keener appreciation of the
value of peaceful international rivalry than
their more opulent mercantile countrymen

Banks and Trust Companies.

The unfortunate suspension Of the Bank
of California was caused by the managers
loaning the funds in possession of the bank
in ways which locked them up, so that when
confidence was shaken the bank could not
get its loans in and had to stop. Bank capt.
tai cannot safely be applied to such purposes.
A bank loans not only it's own capital, but
the money left with it by depositors. This
is all right but the most serious duty OF a
banker is to lend only on perfectly good Sc
curity and on such short time rs will enable
him at all times to command a quick return
of his loans.
1t is said that some of our banks and trust
companies have of late been revising their
list of loans, and begin to take prudent
tack. We hope this is true. 1t is of very
great Importance that our banking institu-
tions of all kinds shall be managed with con-
spicuous care. 1t would be serious matter
if any of our banks should be so imprudent
as to involve themselves in the specu-
lative operations of Wall street just
now, when cautious men are with
drawing because the risk is too great,
and when break may happen any day
at the will of the Speculation who uses
the street for his own purposes. For the
mere stock gamblers no one need care, but
the sound condition of our banks, trust COM
panies and other institutions Of credit is of
vital importance to the whole community,
and ageneral belief that they were lending
their funds for the purpose of an extremely
,1.I Ill,
confidence and might precipitate disaster,
dangerous to them as well as to the general
community.

THE NORTH CAROLINA CONVENTION has met
and organized. From the nature of it's com
position we may expect some stormy scenes
The first efforts made to secure an adjourn
ment sine die have been defeated after a very
close vote, but the contending parties are so
closely matched that it would not be surpris-
ing if the friends Of the status quo should in
the end carry their point and secure an adj
iournment.

New JERSEYS ELECTION. New Jersey has
adopted all the proposed constitutional
amendments except the taxation of mort
cages. The most exciting feature of the
contest was the struggle over the education
question. The Catholic priests made great
efforts to have the amendment relating to the
public schools voted down, but they were
not heartily supported even by their congre-
cations. Considerable dissatisfaction was
caused by the introduction ofpolitics into the
pulpit, and many prominent Catholics re-
sented the interference of the priests by
voting and urging others to vote against
them.

THE KNosBRIDGE RoAD.-The owners of
property along the Kingsbridge road have
with the Aldernsanic Committee on Roads.
AS the persons most interested, they de-
manded that the work of grading and mac
adamizing the road should be done by con-
tract rather than by days work This claim
was conceded on the part of the Aldermanc
committee, and it is probable the work will
be done under the direct supervision of the
people who will have to pay for it.

BELLA JONES DEATH. The testimony given
by Mr.. John Moore in the case of Bella

In 1865 man named Richard Hamp-
less matchmaker in Woolwich, England
He was sent to prison for nine months,
and on the very day of his discharge returned
to Woolwich and smashed the same window
This time the Court gave him eighteen
months; and once more, on the day his SEN
tence expired, he returned and again broke
in the same window His third sentence
was for ten years. but the other day he was,
for good conduct discharged on a ticket of
leave, having served nearly eight years.
Promptly, for the fourth time, he went straight
to Woolwich, and once more smashed the
same window, and being thereupon brought
into court for q fourth sentence, he remarked
that he would break that window as often as
he got the chance, for the rest of his life.
He is in for another ten years. His talent
is wasted in England. There they send him
to the treadmill Here he would change his
name to Pendleton and run the democratic
party in Ohio. If Boss Kelly could get hold
of him he would make him Sachem of Tam
many at once. He is just the stuff of which
the democratic party has made its leaders for
about twenty years. In all that time the
party, as well as the leaders, have been going
continually to the 'demnition bow-wows. ="
But every time they are ''sent up Salt River
they vow, like poor Richard Hampton, that
they will smash that window whenever they
have chance"

At democratic meeting at Holly Springs,
in Mississippi, on Monday Senator Gordon,
of Georgia, it is reported, urged the negroes
to join the democrats and help them to
''drive out the carpet-baggers. He meant,
we suppose, to expel them from power in the
State; and we refer to his remarks only to
say that he blunders in his denunciation of
''carpet-baggers, which is a term applied in
Mississippito all Northern men. The present
State government Of Mississippi is corrupt
and inefficient to the utmost degree, and all
good citizens should be brought together for
its overthrow at the polls. But the State con-
tains q large number of Northern men,
''carpet-baggers, so-called, who are men Of
substance, honest and honorable in all the
relations of life. 1t is rank folly in the
democrats to repel these from their party by
such foolish denunciations as this of Senator
Gordon. There are Northern men holding
important public offices in Mississippi
who are men of honor and culture,
and these ought not to be rashly de-
nounced. The democrats could easily carry
Mississippi if they acted with wisdom and
moderation. The majority of tho white
republicans in the State are opposed to the
present republican rulers. But when, on
the same Monday Senator Gordon denounces
''carpet-baggers' at Holly Springs, and some
of his fellow democrats break up negro
meeting at Clinton and ego out cunning"
after black men, do they really fancy them
selves taking the best means to conciliate
their opponents and win votes for the demo-
cratic party3 We have before us as we write
private letter from Mississippi republi-
can, who complains bitterly of the reckless
corruption of those who control the republi-
can organization there, but asks how he and
those who feel with him can go to the demo-
cratic side, when they are constantly de-
nounced as ''scalawags" or "carpet-bag-
gers" and covered with insult. These Mis-
sissippi democrats are just now doing good
deal to make 'third term" possible and TO
cause a reaction in the North toward the ex-
tremest measures of the radical republican
policy. In fact, they could not do more if
they were hired and paid by Senator Morton.

Ex-CoRPoRATIoN COUNSEL SMITH put in his
bid yesterday for some federal appointment
by making a speech in the Saratoga Conven-
ton against the anti-third term plank of the
platform. He came to grief in the Conven-
tion; but as he did not aim to influence it's
decision, but only to attract the favorable
notice of the President, it remains to be seen
whether he did a good thing for himself
Having been turned out of two Offices
for malversation he naturally covets
another, but he has probably miscalculated.
If President Grant rewards him for his futile
service in standing in ''the imminent, deadly
breach" it will be such an open confession
of third term aspirations as will make his
selfdenying letter ridiculous President
Grant is ambitious, but he is not fool. He
is not likely to bestow fat Office on a twice
dsgraced functionary for an unsuccessful
attempt to stem the tide Of public opinion.
He has no reason to be proud of his solitary,
superserviceable champion. Poor Smith

them, singly, to be present at the

pointed hour, and all found they had
been made the victims of practical
Joke. It is said that nine ministers
were there at one time.
