YACHT OWNERS. A "Yachtsman" calls
attention to an injustice we were yes
terday led to do to some Of our
yacht owners, in the compliment we paid
to Mr.. Langley for his practical seamanship.
As our correspondent shows, there are many
yacht owners who can sail their vessels as
skilfully as professional seaman. The lover
Of yachting comes as naturally in time to be
a good seaman as the lover Of horse to be q
good horseman. 1t does not follow that
yachtsman should sail his yacht in regatta
any more than that he should ride his horse
in race at Jerome Park. But the accom-
plishment is apt 70 come all the same. We
have many owners Of yachts as competent to
manage their vessels in any stress Of weather
as trained seamen. This was shown in the
Corinthian races, where a condition Of the
race was that the owners should sail their
own vessels. We are indebted to our corre-
spondent for calling attention to this fact and
thus enabling US to do justice to yacht
owners as class.
The New York herald., 1875-10-09

term inevitable is to lead the country to feel
that the repudiators are on one side and the
Jesuits on the other, and that Grant alone
can save MS. Napoleon was not made
emperor because the French wanted a
Napoleon, but because they wanted to be
saved from social annihilation Grant would
like to ''save the country" on the same
terms
The paramount ISSUE the only issue,
really, is the reform of the government.
When Christ drove the money changers from
the Temple He saw that there was but one
thing to be done-namely, to purify the
house Of the Lord. We have only one thing
to do now We must drive the administra-
tion out ofpower. These religious questions
are only bubbles and will break with their
own weakness. These financial questions
will settle themselves in time. The laws of
trade, the unerring principles of political
economy, will bring the country back to the
safe foundation as surely as the sea will fol-
low its tides. We are not going to repudi-
ate a dollar of our debt, or to question
whether we pay ii in gold or issue paper
dollar that will not mean gold some time or
other In other words, this is the nineteenth
century, and we are not going to become
either pirates or fools. The discus
sion of such n contingency is an
insult to our common sense. 1t has
been fostered by the friends of Grant and
third term. We must not be driven by it
from our duty as citizens to reform the ad-
ministration and to drive the money changers
out of the Temple. We need thorough in
vestigation of the government and of every
department since the republicans came into
power. We need the appointment of COM
mittee like the Covode committee, which in
vestigated Buchanans administration and
the result of whose inquiries was a control
ling cause of the downfall of the administra-
ton and the election of Lincoln. Let the
democratic party press the Covode chalice to
the lips of their opponents. Let US have
winter of scrutiny into every branch of the
administration, and in the next Presidential
canvass let the cry be, absolute and trench
ant reform in the government and the root
ing out of our politics of every vestige of
nepotism, corruption and C@sarism."

The staten Island Ferry War.

The Staten Island ferry war is contest
between the people and q monopoly. Mr..
George w. Blunt fumes and fuses and
thrusts himself forward with his customary
officiousness, but he cannot conceal from sight
the bloated figure of the old Jacobus Wander
bilt monopoly which stands behind him,
urging him on. The Jacobus Vanderbilt fight
against the New York and Staten Island Ferry
Company is made because the boats of that
line are run, and run remuneratively, at lower
rates Of fare than the monopolists have been
in the habit of exacting from the Staten
Islanders. With the fight the Pilot Commits
sioners have or ought to have no concern.
1t interests only the Jacobus Vanderbilt mo-
nopolists who seek to extort as high fares as
they possibly can out Of the Staten Island
ers and the people who are compelled to
travel every day by the ferryboats, and who
desire to travel at reasonable rates Of fare.
There is, however, another matter of more
interest than low charges involved in the
quarrel A spirited opposition ferry line,
such as that established by Commodore
Garner, will protect the lives and add to the
comfort of the people who use the Staten
Island boats. When they are not at the
mercy of q monopoly they will not
have dirty, unaccommodating, rickety
old boats to travel by, and they will
massacre. Hence the public interests are all
on Commodore Gamers side in this ferry
war, and the people have shown that they
understand the true merits Of the case by
resolving that the opposition line of boats
shall have landing place free of cost if the
monopoly should succeed in driving them
from their present dock.
Commissioner Blunt's offcious intermed-
ding in championship Of a private interest
against the public interests will direct atten-
ton to the propriety of a change in the
method Of appointing Pilot Commissioners.
Mr.. Blunt displayed his misdirected zeal in
dangerous manner. The question whether
the New York Yacht Club house and the pier
encroach on the harbor lines was in contro-
versy before the courts and undecided. A
Supreme Court injunction prohibited any
interference with the club house and pier
pending such decision. 1t was, therefore,
Mr.. Blunt's duty to hold off his hands, and
If bloodshed or destruction of property had
resulted through his agency he would have
had serious responsibility to meet. As it
is he may yet be called to account for his
illegal acts. Meanwhile, the Chamber Of
Commerce should demand his resignation as
o Commissioner Of Pilots. He was not ap-
pointed to attend to the Jacobus Vanderbilt
should fail to act promptly in the matter the
next Legislature will, no doubt, give the
appointment Of Pilot Commissioners to the
Governor, so that responsible authority
may be held to answer for their efficiency
and capacity.

the cases in their hospital but five per cent
have proved fatal. They dwell upon the
recognition Of their school By national, State
and local authorities, and they think that
Brooklyn should have a homeopathic hospital
similar to the one on Wards Island. We sea
no reason why this request should not ba
granted. The difference between homeopathy
and allopathy is a matter to be decided by
the patients and the physicians. If the sick
man desires to be cured by homeopathic treat
ment he has as much right TO that privilege
as TO select his own religion, and where as in
the case Of homeopathy, there is a large,
growing and intelligent constituency who
accept its principles and are willing to trust
their lives to its practice, there is no reason
why request like that Of the trustees of the
Brooklyn Hospital should not be promptly
acceded to-
The New York herald., 1875-10-09
The Centennial and Foreign Govorn-


The Hon. John JAY, formerly Minister to
Austria, is writing series Of letters in refer
ence to the Centennial Exhibition. Mr.. jay
was our Minister in Vienna during the Ex-
hibition and speaks on this subject with ex-
perience and authority. Many Of his sug-
gestions are wise and will, we have no doubt,
be accepted by our friends in Philadelphia.
In recent letter Mr.. Jay dwells with some
earnestness upon the fact that the national
government has not made the Exhibition q
national affair. He speaks Of it as partly
public and partly a private enterprise, and
argues that this uncertainty as to its exact
condition has led to the absence Of Russia
and Italy and other countries Mr. Jay
thinks that the government should identity
itself more closely with the Exhibition and
make it thoroughly national, and that it is
not too late even now for the State Depart
ment to put itself in direct communication
with all the Powers Of Europe and extend
such invitations to them that it viii be i'm
possible for them to decline.
As to the refusal Of Russia to take part in
the Exhibition, it is generally understood that
this arises from the difficulties attending the
recall OF Mr.. Catacazy, the former Russian
Minister. Since that event and the visit of
the Duke Alexis to this country the relations
between the Russian and American govern
ments have not been cordial We can well
understand why the Emperor would not be
over-anxious to oblige a country which, in
his opinion, had seriously disobliged him.
AT the same time we do not think that the
success or the failure of the Exhibition at
Philadelphia will depend on the recognition
it receives from foreign Powers. At the be-
ginning the general sense of the country op-
posed making the Exhibition national
affair. This was because we feared that
there would be endless jobbing; that
large appropriations would be voted,
and that they would be corruptly
expended; that if the matter were
intrusted to the general government it
would inevitably fall into the hands Of poll
ticians and sharpers, and that it would be no
less successful as a private, spontaneous ma
tional affair than under the patronage Of the
government While, as Mr.. Jay argues, it
"ouia Do OIL oo'1hbas5c W AaNO bl6 EAnlbi-
ton so arranged that it would be possible for
the President of the United States to invite
the heads of other governments and to assure
them personally of all distinction and credit,
it is more in consonance with our interests to
preserve its present democratic form. We
do not know what success will attend the Ex-
hibition. We believe it will be gratifying.
The success will be greater if it comes from
the efforts of the people than if it was in any
way owing to the interference or endowment
Of the government So much, therefore, of
Mr.. jays criticism as relates to the action of
the government does not seem to be well
founded. The less the national administra-
ton has to do with the Exhibition at Phila-
delphia the better will it be for its success.
If the people cannot make it succeed then
it should fail.
The New York herald., 1875-10-09
The Recordership.

The feeling which has been shown by the
press Of New York, without a single excep-
ton, upon the proposition to drive Recorder
Hackett from the Tammany ticket to make
place for one more subservient to the wishes
Of the party is worth studying as an illustra-
ton of public opinion in New York.
Recorder Hackett has been for some years
the principal criminal magistrate of the city.
He has shown that he is neither to be moved
by Establishments nor by threats. Not ac-
lively partisan, almost haughtily upon one
occasion declining to be regarded as politi-
clan, he does not appeal to the rank and file
of the organizations, like many of the gentle
men now named for Office. So firmly rooted
in the minds Of the people is the idea that
he is an honest incorruptible and
fearless judge that every journal in
New York, without distinction of party,
favors his reelection to the Recordership.
Now, the question before John Kelly as the
chief Of Tammany Hall is a simple one.
Can he afford to throw aside Recorder
Hackett for no other reason than that he is
not favorite Of the politicians and give his
place to some favorite, some obsequious
vassal who has no interest to serve but the
commands of his master? The Evening Mda
of yesterday gives expression to the feeling
Of all honest citizens when it says:-''The
respectable members of Tammany Hall, who
have some concern for the public welfare
and their own reputation, may well be ex-
ercised over the evident reluctance Of Mr..
Kelly to renominate Judge who has done
more to make crime dangerous to its perpe-
traitors than any Recorder we ever had"
'Let Mr.. Kelly refuse to nominate
Judge Hackett if he dares we
should like to see him try the experiment. !"
1t will hardly require a menace to induce as
shrewd a man as John Kelly to do what is
right in the management Of his party He
has read the history of New York politics
and remembers the several defeats Tammany
received when in the magnitude Of its power
its leaders were unwise He has not for
gotten how Charles G. Halpine and Gunther
and Havemeyer and General Jones each de-
feated the regular organization at q time
when it seemed invincible If Recorder
Hackett is thrown overheard by Tammany
he will be nominated as the peoples ca1-
didate, and John Kelly will find it difficult
to elect his ticket this fall He himself will
then be in the strange position Of weakening
the party and invoking defeat upon the
democracy simply to crafty personal liking
for some other candidate.
The New York herald., 1875-10-09

RECORDER HAcKErT's OFFENCE against John
Kelly is that he refused 10 remove his clerks
and other officers Of his court to make place
for appointees Of the Tammany General
Committee. 'If there exists an Office" said
Recorder Hackett on refusing compliance
with the demand, (which more than any
other one should be utterly divorced from
political considerations it is that of clerk
or deputy clerk Of criminal court" The
people agree with tho Recorder and will
honor him for his independenca
