The Amcrfca Cardfn al.

Nothing could be more graceful than the
method by which cardinalate was bestowed
upon Archbishop McCloskey, and the appoint
ment itself is another evidence of the great
wisdom which has so long swayed the Roman
Catholic Church. 1t was but natural that the
Archbishop of Posen, in view of the persecu-
tons he has suffered at the hands of Prince
Bismarck should be elevated to this dignity
as a recognition of his services and sufferings
in behalf of the Holy See. A similar honor
bestowed upon the Archbishop of New York,
while it can have no such direct political sig
nifcance, is even more noteworthy in the con-
trast it presents to the elevation of Arch
bishop Ledochowski. The distinguished Ger
man prelate was honored in part because he
had suffered from political prosecutions. On
the other hand the distinguished Ameri-
can prelate was honored in part be-
cause he neither seeks political in
fuence nor can be made to suffer from
political prosecutions. 1t is practical dec
laration that free institutions are not incom-
patible with the spiritual dominion of the
Church. In this view of the case republican
HDerby has Sdlueu new Victory III the ele-
walton of Archbishop McCloskey, the news of
whose appointment is now completely and I'M
mistakably confirmed by the special despatch
from Rome, which we print this morning In
few days the distinguished Archbishop will
be officially informed of his new dignity, and
a little later the first cardinals hat ever
brought to America will reach the city of
New York. The event is in itself one of the
most important in American history. That
it is so regarded in Europe is apparent from
the satisfaction it affords to the clerical repre-
sentatives of the different pationalities in
Rome, especially when it is remembered that
Archbishop McCloskey's elevation apart from
his personal merits is viewed by the Pope
himself as an express appreciation of Ameri-
can Catholics and as n compliment to the
United States. American Protestants, as we'll
as American Catholics, will hail with plea
sure this double evidence of progress where
by the influence of the Church is widened at
the same time that republican liberty is
strengthened and encouraged.

SUPERINTENDENT WALLINo was tried before
the Board of Police Commissioners yesterday,
on the charge of keeping prisoners in custody
over twenty -four hours without bringing them
before police magistrate. The charge was
admitted, but justified on the ground that the
Superintendent could not comply with the
law, because the Police Commissioners were
not in session during the time the men were
in custody at headquarters, and on the add
tional ground that justice would have been
evaded had he not acted as he did. We do
not wish to PREJUDICE the Superintendent or
to judge him harshy, but one thing is very
plain-namely, that he cannot trust the police
courts, which is necessarily tho position he
has assumed. Upon this point the whole
question really hinges.

The Sharkey Case.

The position in which our government is
placed by the fact that Sharkey, a condemned
and escaped murderer, is allowed to remain
at large in Havana and even to commit MUIR
derous assaults upon American citizens, is not
a pleasant one. We observe that one of the
Spanish officials is reported, in recent letter
from Havana, as saying that there is no more
reason why Sharkey should not remain at
large in Cuba than that the Cuban Junta
should have permission to exist in New York.
OF course, there is political feeling in this re-
mark, which we respect. But let US look at
the case clearly. Two years ago an American
citizen escaped from England, where he was
Havana The English government thereupon
asked President CASTELAR, to return him to
England to be tried for an offence of which
he was presumed to be innocent until
he had been proved guilty. There was
no treaty Of extraditon between the
not say that, because England allowed the
Carlist Junta to raise money in London and
buy supplies for Don Carlos, he would
not deliver up the forger to be tried for
his ALLEGED crimes. He did return him to
England, where he was tried and sentenced
to imprisonment for life--a sentence which he
is now undergoing. Now, Sharkey is muir
derer; not under indictment merely, but
under sentence of death. We have no ex-
tradition treaty with Spain any more than
ENGLAND had and vet n seema that mr. di,,lo-
macy is 70 powerless that We cannot induce

The New SENATOR FROM MICHIGAN, Mr..
Christiancy, made his maiden speech in the
Senate yesterday on the Pinchback case. Tho
speech is one that is noteworthy as an indica-
ton of the policy of the independent repub-
licans who have come into the Senate, and
shows better and purer tone than was usual
in the last two or three years. Evidently
Mr.. Morton and Mr.. Conkling are to have
new and dangerous element to battle against.

Two NEGROES were hanged in Maryland
yesterday, one at Belair and one at Easton.
In the one case it was revenge and in the
other greed that were gratified. There were
the usual prayers and hymn singing in the

spectacles which make capital punishment so
hideous

TIE BILL TO PROVIDE for the aid and sup
port of the poor in the counties of Erie,
Kings and New York, has passed the Assem-
bly, and goes to the Senate. Such law may
be necessary under the amended constitution,
and Mr.. Campbelps bill may fully meet the
necessity, but the subject is of such grave
importance that it should receive the best con-
sheraton of the Senate. We have the author
ity of the leading members Of the constitu-
tional commission, who framed and adopted
the amendments, that the clause in
relation to the aid and support Of
the local poor was not intended to
affect and does not affect the appropriation
of moneys authorized by law to be appropr-
ated to our institutions of charity. 1t is be-
lieved that all the laws authorizing such APP
preparations, including that for the distribu-
ton of the excise moneys, are as constitu-
tional and operative now as they were before
the adoption of the amendments. 1t is there
fore very desirable that friendly case should
be made in order to secure an early judicial
decision on these points. If new legislation is
needed the law on the subject should be very
carefully framed and guarded.

A New QuEsr1oN-This is not pleasant
reading that we have from Mexico of this
massacre of Professionals in Acapulco and
other places. It is delicate thing for any
government to interfere with the internal
management of other governments, and
especially to take sides in a religious ques-
ton. Mexico has been distressed sorely by
the controversies between the Church and the
anti-Church parties. But we must remember.
ALSO that the United States is Protestant
country, and that, while we grant freedom Of
conscience to every religion, that the Prot
estant denominations are the majority. Now
it seems to Us o question worthy of con-
sideration whether our government should
not insist upon neighboring republics re-
specting the rights of conscience and pro-
tecting Protestants in their faith. It becomes
very serious question whether We really
protect our citizens if Americans can be muir
dered in Acapulco because they do not believe
in the Catholic faith. We trust that our
government will give attention to this matter.
Our protection of religious freedom OF homo
is of little value if we fail to compel respect
for the religion of our fellow citizens in other
countries,

All the indications poirt to cheerful
spring. with fine business prospects and en-
ergy in trade. The long winter is breaking,
our people are recovering from the prostrating
effects Of the panic. There is much activity
in commercial circles. The farmers are PEE
pairing for their crops. In every branch of in
dustry and commerce we have cheerful signs
It is time that this "long strike,'' as it
were. this long season of depression,
should come to an end. And there is no
reason why it should not end. All we want
is energy, patience and confidence. Above
oil things, however, we desire to prevent our
people from plunging into a deeper panic by
giving way to the Big Bonanza fever which
now RACES in Wall street. We desire to see
our business pulsing and throbbing with the
activity of health, and not feverishly beating
with the activity of disease. Now that spring
opens so brightly, and now that our business
heavens are bathed in sunshine; the future
Frightening with hope, we cannot be too care
full in avoiding the speculations of Wall street,
in keeping away from fancy stocks and using
our money in honest business interests and
investments, and not throwing it at the feet
of desperate gamblers, who live only by de.
ceiving and plundering the public.

The Board OF Health and the Water.
Many functions of our city government are
done too little; but there are some others
that if not actually done too much are at least
in o superiority of hands. There seems to be
no adequate provision scarcely any provision
whatever-for securing the purity of articles
of daily consumption-food, beverages and
medicines that the people buy in ten thousand
shops to the great profit of small and dis
honest traders but our Croton water has the
benefit of double guardianship. and yet it is
not pure. 1t is cared for by the professors
more or less learned-of our phenomenal
Board of Health, and it is in the hands of
the Croton Board. Exactly what is the limit
of the function on the part OF these respective
pears to fall on either so far short as to
leave out large space in the middle, and
that space the important one in which pro-
vision should be made for the healthfulness
and suirableness Of the water for common
beverage. Croton is at present not agreeable to
the eye. DR.. Chandler, President of the Board
of Health, has given to one of our reporters
his opinion that the water is not unhealthy,
and in evidence the analysis of scientific
assistant. Yet the Doctor is probably aware
that noxious principles in air, water or food
escape analysis altogether. Every Jersey
man knows that if he lives at the edge of
swamp in the flats on the Jersey Central he
will get fever and ague, but none of the
chemists can find in the air the fever poison.
In the ward of a half dozen smallpox
patients, where the unprotected could not
escape the contagion, analysis cannot dis
cover in the air what communicates that
disease. So with the water; our chemical
processes may be too clumsy to detect the
trouble, but it is there Fortunately, though
the chemists cannot measure and weigh the
fever poison, all know how to avoid the fever;
and if it cannot be declared altogether how
water becomes unhealthy the processes for
making it healthy are susceptible Of distinct
formulation; and if attendance to these is not
required of the Croton Board by the Board of
Health it is delinquent in it's public duties,
and we beg to call its attention to the fact
that this delinquency is far more serious than
that of the Department of Buildings which
recently resulted in the Duane street calamity.

A PLEASANT EPISODE.
THE HON. M. C. KERR's LETTER.

The following is the full text of the letter
of the Hon. NJ. C. Kerr to the Southern Pa
cific railroad convention, which entirely
accords with the views expressed by the
Sentinel, touching Mr.. Kerr's position, a
few days since:
NEW ALBANY, IND, Oct. IL, 1875.
My DEAR SIR: / have your kind invita-
ton to attend the national convention to be
held in St. Louis on the 23d of November
next, 70 take action In favor of a Southwest
ern Pacific railroad, and also the accompany
ing address Of your committee TO the people
of the United States, and have carefully
examined the latter. The intrinsic i'm
portance OF such a railroad, L think, is too
apparent to admit of any question. most
heartily wish its construction could be as
sured at an early day. The manner in which
your able address proposes to accom-
plish it raises grave questions
of public policy and duty. These
you VIII pardon me for not attempting now
TO settle for myself. 1 will give the great
subject, when presented to congress, just
and impartial examination, and to that end
also will watch with interest the proceed
ings of your convention. III l can do so
consistently with my convictions OF public
duty, will cooperate Tor it's aid and con-
struction. can not attend your conven-
ton. But IL 1 could / would not hesitate to
do So not to participate in its deliberations,
but TO hear and learn. But other duties
will at that time require my presence else
where.
am, with great respect, yours very truly,
M, G.. KERR.

Atty. Gen. Pierrepont has prepared an
elaborate argument, which he will make
personally before the United States Supreme
Court, on tomorrow, relative TO the inter
ests Of the government in connection with
suits entered to recover moneys due by the
several Pacific railroad companies. These
suits involve more money consideration
than any which have ever before been
brought to the attention of any court in this
or any other country, and have engaged the
most lively interest OF the legal fraternity,
here and eisewhere.-Washingt dispatch
to the Chicago Times.
