The Honorable John Declines.

"The Honorable John" steps down, but
not out He writes striking letter 10 the
patriotic gentlemen who on Saturday nomi-
mated him as the ti-Tammany candidate in
the Fourth Senatorial district against John
Kelly's nominee, ex-Supervisor John Fox, in
which, while declining the honor thrust
upon him, he deals the Tammany moguI
some telling blows. THE Honorable john"
in fact, defineshis position-and every scien-
tifc boxer knows that his position was always
good one. He is democrat-frst and lasta
democrat, because he has faith in the self-gov-
erning intelligence of the masses, and because
he believes that democratic principles, prop
erly administered, are the best for the peo-
pie. But 'the Honorable John" does not
believe in such democracy as is practised
by the present managers of Tammany. He
does not indorse the Tammany leaders in
terpetration Of the principle of 'home rule"
by which citizens of other States were
brought to New York to preside over the
municipal departments He does not admire
Kelly and Wickham's reduction of ''the hard
earned piittancee Of the laborers" while the
''high salaries" Of tho heads Of departments
remain untouched. He does not approve the
policy of refusing to renominate honest and
deserving public officers simply because they
refuse to be the tools Of q centralizing parti-
sanship. And while declining the Sena-
torial nomination because unwilling to sub
ject his motives to criticism, he sympathizes
with the spirit in the Fourth district which
revolts against the candidacy Of the other
John, the associate Supervisor with Tweed
and Hank Smith in the palmy days Of the
Ring.
"The Honorable John" is, as usual, with
the people His sentiments are shared in by
large majority of the citizens Of New York.
One hundred and thirty thousand free and
independent voters do not see why John
Kelly should assume the part of King Carrot
and expect them all to accept the characters
Of vassal vegetables. They do not know by
what right Kelly claims to name their
judges, district attorneys, coroners, Senators.
Assemblymen and Aldermen for them, and
to deny them any voice in the matter. They
resolve that he shall not drive from the Bench
an upright, fearless judge, whose crime is q
refusal to be the tool of centralizing par
tisanship," and shall not lay his hands upon
all the criminal Offices Of the county. So if
''the Honorable John" will keep his muscles
trained and his conscience clear he will find
large majority Of the voters Of New York on
his side at the polls

Mr.. MOODY will close his labors at his
home in Northfield this week, having held
his last Sunday service in the North Congre-
gational church of that city yesterday,
From the report Of our correspondent
it seems his efforts there have been
characterized by their usual gratifying
success, the opposition Of the Unitarians,
headed by Mr.. Sunderland, having had no
other bad effect than that OF creating division
among themselves In this age and coun-
try, where the demands Of religion are apt ia
be lost sight Of in the eager pursuit Of mat
ters purely temporal, it would seem to
be the part Of wisdom TO welcome
all means and methods for stirring up the
community to consideration Of spiritual
things, and to this view at least all the
evangelical clergymen Of this city and
vicinity have given their hearty con-
sent

The Condition or our state Prisons.

The account Of the condition Of our three
State prisons Sing Sing, Clinton and Au-
burn-published to-day although brief, con
tains much matter for serious reflection.
We are told that these institutions are
crowded at the present moment as they have
never before been crowded, and that the in
crease Of crime evident from such fact is
enough to alarm the country. Already the
insuficiency Of the accommodation Is se-
riously felt The law very wisely restricts
the occupancy Of . cell 70 a single prisoner;
but at Sing Sing this provision cam
not be observed, and some four hun
drod cells have two conyicts in each.
IT il also stated that one-half the
inmates Of Sing Sing are idle and subsisting
wholly 1T the public expense. When they
leave the prison they have no trade e fol-
low, even if honestly disposed to reform,
and are let loose on tic community more
accomplished il crime more reckless and
hardened than when their first offences
against the law worc committed.
one Of the inspectors suggests that by o
triHing expenditure for machinery and ma
terial two branches Of industry might be
established At Sing Sing that would give
employment to 0 large number Of convicts.
one Of these is the manufacture il the prison
Of all tho cloth necessary for the use Of all
the State penal institutions, as shirting,
blankets and convict suits. The other is
the manufacture of cocoanut mats for doors
Neither of those would be subject TO
the objection Of competing with outside
\ labor The cloth manufactured might
be used not only in the prisons, but IN all
charitable and other institutions that are q
State charge, and the cocoanut mats used IN
this country are mainly imported from Eng
land and arc made in the English prisons.
The suggestion seems deserving Of considera-
ton. Something should be done to give
employment " Az ahla-bodiad GanYaits" and

The Sermons YesterdaY.

The tide Of religion is again at full flow
since the watering places and the mountains
have given as back our reinvigorated minis
ters and their refreshed congregations. The
sermons bear evidence about them Of the sea
breezes and the mountain air and are in
striking contrast with the fag end of the city
season, when brains grow weary and relig-
ion drags. The congregations exhibit re-
newed attention and reawakened in
terest. The annual revival comes
in good season, for it promises to
hold in check the unbrotherly feelings
sometimes INDUCED in about election time,
at all events among those who attend church,
and it may urge us on to good deeds toward
the poor before the severe weather Of the
winter overtazes them. and lays them help
less at the feet Of charity Mr.. Frothing-
hams address, intended TO prove that God
is the embodiment Of love, honesty and
truth, would seem to be peculiarly
happy at this time, and to tend toward such
results as those at which we have limited for
how necessary is it that, in our political and
business lives, we should cultivate the godly
attributes Of honesty and truth, and how
strikingly does the divine love point out to
US our duty toward suffering humanity2
The sketches Of the several sermons
which we publish to-day display a va
riety Of thought and an originality
which will claim attention, and which makes
them interesting reading Mr.. Beecher,

prefers to keep it in hand, ready to turn II
into gold and bury it whenever there Is q
| prospect that Mr.. Phillips and General But
Ter may carry the day. He lets it lie in the
bank OF he lends it on short time at low
rate and accepts a greatly diminished IN

doubtedly right.

putting the currency on the only stable basis
it can haye-on a gold basis, which is recog-
nized all over the world-and he eagerly
launches out into new ventures, for
he is hungry for an increased in

prudent He will summon workrnen
around him from every part Of the country.
The demand viii be SO great that wages, in
stead Of going down. must go up; there will
BE- more people with means to buy, and con
sumption will increase. Thus the rewards
Of the producer in every branch will be
greater, and wages and prices, 50 far from
falling by resumption Of specie payments,
must inevitably and quickly rise.
They cannot rise in any other way A new
expansion Of the currency would not induce
enterprises; it would only still more fatally
check them The mere prospect Of it, the
threats Of Allen and Pendleton, Butler and
Phillips, have only made the times harder
and duller AT the very time when it
seemed probable that Governor Allen would
be elected and that the friends Of initiation
would sweep the country, the Fall River
operatives had to give mp their strike and
re-enter the factories with disagreeable CON
ditions. They may rightly blame General
Butler and Mr.. Phillips for this, for the price
Of the Fall River products has fallen almost
every time these two gentlemen have spoken
for imitation.
Our condition is as that Of a Western
colony would be, if, after having built their
houses, raised their crop and completed
their road, they should fall into a dispute
about the size Of the bushel measure one party
desiring to enlarge, the other to diminish il.
While the dispute lasted everybody would
refuse to sell his grain because he could
not tell how much Of it would 90 TO a bushel
next week, and mechanics and farmers
would stand idle, and production would
cease, and consumption would be checked
until the dispute was settled-until some day
a sensible man made the suggestion that the
bushel measure which was used by their
neighbors and the world at large was the
only and true bushel for them, and that they
could not increase their stock Of corn by
measuring it out in smaller bushels But it
is plain enough that when the great bushel
question was settled, then industry
would revive, people would go to work
with confidence in the future laborers and
mechanics would find employment; and
consumption or demand, which rules the
price Of labor and Of products would revive.
The only way to higher wages is by the
resumption Of specie payments, which means
stability Of values because thus only can
capital be induced to new ventures, which
will increase wages, which will enlarge the
power Of consumption, which alone can re-
'viye general industry, and thus raise the
WAGES Of labor

The Politics OF Cities.

Inc increasing tendency of our popula-
ton to congregate in cities, which has re-
celyed new illustration in the recent State
census OF New York, besets the politics of
the country with danger which grows con-
stantly more alarming. During the first
half century Of the Republic our population
was chiefly agricultural, with a great ap-
proach to equality in property, intelligence
and morals The scum and dregs which
were almost unknown. But at present the
dangerous classes in cities often hold the
balance of power, and it has become serious
question whether we can preserve our in
stitutions without interposing new checks on
the power OF demagogues over the criminal
population. The art Of politics in a great
city like New York, for example, has de-
generated into the creation or maintenance
Of organizations for enabling crafty lead
ers to consolidate large masses of
the lowest class Of voters in COM
pact phalanx, to be moved at the
Tammany organization is a case in point. 1t
was easily controlled by Tweed it is con-
trolled with equal ease by Mr.. Kelly both
maintain their ascendancy by the same dis
reputable means of favoring the wishes
Of the worst part Of the population. We
happen to have in our most important crimi-
nal court Judge who has made himself "a
terror to evil doers," and has incurred the
enmity Of the whole body Of rowdies, thieves,
burglars and cutthroats. Mr.. Kelly finds it
necessary, as O means of preserving his
power, to appease and satisfy the criminal
classes by making war upon this upright
and efficient magistrate. These classes are
formi dable in our politics only by combina-
ton under leaders who use them as tools.
If we could break the combination we
should escape the danger. The democracy
Of the rural districts have long been sensi-
bic that such organizations as Tammany are
a great nuisance, and few years ago the late
Mr.. Cassidy offered resolution in the State
Convention with q view to shatter the in
fuence Of Tammany. That resolution, which
was adopted, made it a standing rule that the
party should recognize no such organization,
and that all delegates to the State Convention
should be chosen in the cities, as they are in
the country, BY the democrats Of the separate
Assembly districts, without any outside in
terference This rule, though kept in force,
has been evaded in substance by the Tam
many organization but it is nevertheless a
valuable democratic testimony to the evil Of
political organizations which destroy the
individual independence Of voters and sub
vert the first principles of democracy. 1t is
for the honest voters Of the city, without dis
tinction Of party, to remedy the evil with
which the rural democracy made vain at
tempt to cope There has never been moro
favorable time than the present for sue
cessful assault on an organization which has
been for twenty years the plague of demo-
cratic State conventions, which came near
running the party under Tweed and has now
made bolder bid than he ever ventured on
for the support Of the criminal classes.

The depositors Of the Third Avenue Saw
ings Bank appear to be resolved to adopt ac-
tive measures for their own protection.
Naturally they have no faith in the receiv-
ership Of Mr.. Carman, who, as secretary Of
the bank, connived at the dishonest act of re-
coiving deposits when it was known that tho
institution was bankrupt and that the de-
positors must lose the greater portion Of their
money, and who is said to have signed and
verified some Of the false reports Of the condi-
tion Of the bank made to the Banking Depart
ment. The proposition to apply to the
courts to set aside Mr.. Carman and appoint
some other receiver meets with favor. 1t is
urged as a reason why this step should not
be taken that Mr.. Carman has not long been
associated with the bank; that he is
capable man to wind up its affairs and that,
if the receiver is not interfered wieh and al
lowed time, the depositors may get eighty
cents on the dollar Indeed, even brighter
prospects are held out to-day to induce the
depositors to leave Mr.. Carman alone. But
any capable receiver would be able to secure
quite as much for the victims as can be Sc
cured by Mr.. Carman, and the depositors
would be likely to be more patient under the
receivership Of q man in whom they have
confidence than under an old officer of the
bank.
We believe that in the public interest the
course Of the Bank Superintendent in the
affair should be very closely scrutinizod. He
knew that the bank was hopelessly bank
rupt: he knew that the managers had
been dishonest in incorporating its con-
dition. by what right did he suffer the
bank to continue to extend the area Of its
victims and to cntice new depositors? What
Y is his clear duty in such a case? !? BY what
4 right was an officer Of the bank appointed
its receiver secretly, without the knowl-
edge of the creditors, and IN such
a manner MS to catch the depositors in
a trap before they dreamed Of their danger?
+. DO the existing laws warrant such proceed
inps? If So they certainly need revision
rs the singular course pursued by Mr. Ellis
consistent with the duty Of the Bank Super
intendent? If so the people would be better
protected without than with such an officer.
It is believed that proceedings of criminal
nature will be instituted against the officers
and trustees of the broken bank in order to
test whether it is not criminal act to take
peoples money on deposit under false pre-
tences. Such proceeding would probably
result in good. Meanwhile is there no
authority that can reach the Bank Superin-
tcndent and investigate his share in tho
whole questionable proceedings3
