the price of corn uniform in spite Of din =
ences in the crops? The depreciation Of the
currency has no connection with the rate OF
interest. When the rate is seven per cent
for paper money at par it will also be seven
per cent for paper money worth but fifty
cents to the dollar. The only difference
would be that q man would have to borrow
two hundred dollars and pay fourteen dol
lars for its use instead Of one hundred and
pay seven for its use. General Butler as
serts that an increase in the quantity OF
money does not depreciate its value, which
is another remarkable exhibition Of acumen.
He ought to be able to see that money, like
wheat or any other commodity, has its value
affected by scarcity or abundance and in
accordance with the same laws. Another
specimen of brilliancy is his assertion that
there is no more necessity for making the
measure of value redeemable than for making
yardsticks redeemable. 1t is true enough
that it would be nonsense to talk of making
gold dollars redeemable, because they carry
their value in themselves But it is still
greater nonsense to confound paper dollars
of no intrinsic value with pieces Of coined
metal, which are worth as much without the
government stamp as with it. We have
neither space nor patience to follow General
Butler further in his wilderness Of absurdi-
ties the specimens we have noticed being
sufficient to expose the quality of his finan-
cial thinking.

The Unjust Action OF the State As
SCISSORS.

The city of New York has for years been
compelled to bear an unfair and unequal
share of the burden of State taxation The
honest rural districts are, of course, in a
majority in the Board of State Assessors,
and the counties particularly represented
contrive to make profit out of the
privilege. Cayuga county, while her popu-
lation and wealth increase, finds seat
among the State Assessors secures her q
reduction of three-quarters of million
in her valuation for State taxation. Seneca
county, under like circumstances, obtains a
reduction of half million. But these
pleasant local economies must be made up
in some quarter, and the city of New York is
used for that purpose. Here are your mer-
chant princes, with their Broadway palaces
and their Fifth avenue mansions here are
your Wall street and your Central Park !;
here are your bawling brokers and your
bloated banks Just the place, says the
honest countryman, to add on a few hundred
millions of valuation and make up for our
own nice little savings.
There is, however, limit to endurance
The State Assessors this year, under tho
pretence of "equalizing" the valuation
of property throughout the State, have
thrown upon the city of New York greatly
more than one clear half of the entire
State tax. That is to say, one million
of people living in the city are called
upon to pay proportion of the State
tax amounting to per capita OF eight
dollars, while three millions and half Of
people living out Of the city are only taxed
at the rate of about two dollars head. This
result is accomplished by decreasing the
valuations fixed by sworn local assessors on
all real estate in the State outside New York
and Kings and increasing the valuations in
those two counties. To New York and Kings
the State Assessors say, 1T is our duty TO
raise the valuations made by your local assess
ors, and we, therefore, surcharge New York
five hundred and forty-one million dollars
and Kings seventy-three Millions" To the
rest of the State the same assessors say, ut
is our duty TO decrease the valuations made
by your local assessors, and we, therefore.
reduce the total amount fixed upon you by
the sum of two hundred and sixty-two mill
ion dollars" They thus make one sauce for
the city geese and another for the rural
ganders

any other part Of the State by the depression

The TWEED SUIr-Judge Lawrence has
denied the application for o stay of proceed
ings in the six million suit against William
Nj. Tweed and ordered the case to speedy
trial Thus another attempt to prolong the
litigation by premature appeals to the court
of last resort has been defeated. If the prece-
dents set by the lawyers in this case had
been accepted by the courts not only justice,
but the administration of justice, would be-
come impossible We have been simplifying
the practice in this State until it is no easy
matter to get case Of any magnitude tried
at all, and SO we are especially rejoiced to
find the Judges of the Supreme Court de-
termined to try this case upon its merits.

John Kelly has chosen to assume the char
acter Of conscientious reformer in his Mt
tempt to drive Recorder Hackett from tho
Bench. If all Nh. Kellys acts as public
officer and as the leader of Tammany Hall
were consistent with the position he now ar
rogates the motives Of his crusade against the
Recorder might not be called in question,
however much his judgment might be con-
demned. But neither as office-holder nor as
political manager does Mr.. Kelly's record fit
him for the role in which he now appears
While Sheriff of New York his bills against
the county were such as no conscientious
official DESTROYS of protecting the taxpayers
would have presented. There may have been
q thin covering Of legality to warrant his ex-
travagant charges, but a strictly upright
officer would not be willing to strain the law
in order to deplete the public treasury.
A sheriff who could swell out bill
of nearly one thousand dollars for the
execution of O murderer cannot be credited
with any nice sense of the rectitude which
should control the acts Of every upright pub
lie servant. Nor is it to Mr.. Kelly's credit
that he allowed his official accounts against
the county to be manipulated by such no
torious corruptionist as the late County
Auditor James Watson.
But the insincerity of Mr.. Kelly's pres
ent professions is most strikingly illus
trated by his action as the leader of tho Tam
many organization. The Recorders votes in
the Board of Supervisors are given as one of
Ia NJ 10
ton his nomination by the Tammany Con-
vention. But last year James Hayes was,
with Mr.. Kelly's consent and by his action,
placed upon the Tammany ticket for the
Office of Register. Hayes was VIGOROUSLY
prominent as o member of the Supervisors
''ring" during its most corrupt days,
and supported all the jobs that went
through that body. Kelly made no
objection to his candidacy on that account,
but, as we have said, concurred in and IA
vored his nomination. At the present mo-
ment Mr.. Kelly is endeavoring to force on
the people of the Fourth Senatorial district
the nomination of John Fox for Senator
Yet Fox was q Supervisor with Tweed,
Hank Smith, Hayes and others of
similar character from 1865 to 1870 during
the palmy days of the Court House swindle,
and voted consistently with the deposed
"Boss" throughout those years. Indeed, the
composition of the committees satisfactorily
explains the relations then existing in the
Board of Supervisors The Committee on
the Court House was composed of Tweed,
Orison Blunt Hank Smith and John
Fox. The Stationery Committee COM
prised exactly the same names. Of
the Committee on Armories and Drill
rooms, Tweed, Blunt, Hank Smith and Fox
formed the majority. Yet John Kelly, while
pretending to oppose the Recorder, because
he voted, as alleged, for the payment of a
few extravagant bills, Insists on the nomina-
ton of John Fox, whose whole time was oc-
cupied in the apparently profitable business
of one of Tweeds favorite supervisors,

THE OCEAN RACE, in which tho yachts
Dreadnaught, Resolute and Vesta took part,
was concluded yesterday, all of them turning
the Cape May Lightship within a few
minutes of each other, and the first two being
less than two minutes apart at the finish.
The Dreadnaught was the first to arrive but
Mr.. Hatch claims the race for the Resolute
on time allowance. The question has not
been settled by the judges. 1t is to be re-
GREETED that the accident to the Vesta prac-
tically put her out of the race, as the close
sailing over tho first half of the course
made it especially desirable that the qualities
of all the yachts should be fully tested. As
it was, however, the race was an exceedingly
interesting one; and the story is presented in
the HERALD this morning from every point of
view, our reports being written on board of
each of the three yachts These narratives
will be read with zest; and, however the diff
ferences between the Dreadnaught and the
Resolute may be settled, the story will lose
none of its graphic and dramatic interest.

RECORDER HAcKETTs LANGUAGE in reply to
poor Kelly's futile effort to be allowed to par
tition up the Offices in the Court of General
Sessions among his hungry followers cannot
be too often repeated. What keen and pol
ished rebuke is contained in the following
sentences:-'The Legislature has wisely
placed the selection of officers for the Court
of General Sessions in the exclusive discre-
ton of the judges of that court. Every day
of experience contributes to court officers
usefulness The Court has under it many
officers of ten years experience; they are
reliable, unbribable and discreet. If the
notions you foreshadow should be acquiesced
in by the criminal judges, inasmuch as the
composition of political committees often
changes, SO might the composition of court
officers, and thereby confusion at least be
occasioned. ! cannot sanction your propo-
sition."

LUDLOW STREET JAI.-The management
} of Ludlow Street Jail was the subject of in

on Crime yesterday. Such Of the prisoners

leeches, doubtless, that much Of the evil
reputation of Ludlow Street Jail is due.

OF tho last two years. Real estate has
shrunk one-third in value, yet the local
authorities have steadily increased the
valuations. In 1871 the total valuation
was, in round numbers, seven hundred and
seventy millions, and in 1875 eight hundred
and eighty-four millions-an increase of
one hundred and fourteen millions In the
face Of these facts and of the further fact
that the local valuations in most Of the coun
ties outside New York and Kings have been
kept unfairly low, the State Assessors heap
up higher and higher the burden of State
taxation on the city and correspondingly
tighten the load on the outside counties.
Some years ago Fernando Wood declared that
the interests of the metropolis demanded
division of the State Let US hope, how
ever, that the good sense and fair play of the
Legislature will undo the wrong we have
suffered at the hands Of the State Assessors.
