The Legislature has not spent the last month
very proftably for the State. but by little
diligence it may yet earn the reputation OF
working body. The Assembly did well yes
terday in passing the bill extending the rem
edy of attachment to causes OF fraud OF
malversation by public officers. This bill
cannot find place on the statute book too
quickly.

While months must elapse before any def
mite knowledge can be obtained from the
observations of the transit of Venus, the story
of the work as it comes in from the distant
stations shows that the American parties have
equaled if not surpassed those of other
nations. On our second page will be found
an interesting description of the observations
at Nagasakl, which met with fair sue
cess, and will prove of excellent ser
vice when compared with those taken
on the islands in the Southern seas. The ex
petitions in Japan seem to have met with
every courtesy and assistance from the native
Government, and no feeling of rivalry pre-
vented the astronomers Of different nations
from helping each other. The statiOniDg and
equipment OF. the American expeditions reflect
great credit upon the Commission that had
them in charge.

The city will soon become heartily sick OF
the very name of Supervisors, if claims go on
accommodating from that fruitful source. Now
the Aldermen have held a caucus, and it has
been decided that they will claim $4,000 extra
salary for services as Supervisors. Tay-pay-
ers thought that they had heard the last Of
those expensive services with the close of the
year lust past.

The thirtieth annual report of the Prison
Association of New-York is an admirable rec
ord of good work done among class which
would be sore!y neglected if 1T were not for
the efforts of this Association. The state
ments of the report concerning the overcrowd-
ing of the State prisons, and concerning the
disregard of the law, which requires that en-
ployment shall be given to those confined,
will merit attention.

While the House of Representatives has
been foolng away its time with the consid-
Grafton of schemes to maintain the supremacy
of the Republican party, the grave question Of
how to make both ends meet has been as
suning proportions demanding attention. Our
Washington dispatches to-day show the alarm
ing condition of the financial department of
the Government, and that the Republican
leaders again find conflict between fancied
duty to their party and known duty to the
country.

The need of trained statesmen, which is so
largely and SO painfully felt at the present
time in this country. was an important theme
of Prof Summers address on Political Science,
delivered last evening before the Yale Alumni
Association. The Importance which the
thorough study of political science has
assumed was well emphasized by this able
teacher, who insisted that the country must
look to universities for the training which
shall furnish men fit to grapple with the
pressing problems of craftsmanship.

Review Of the Situation.

Greater prosperity has followed the abors
Of the Patrons during the past year than in
any year previous. The excitement Of or
ganizatiou has passed away and the members
are settling down TO earnest work. The
grange is no longer a novelty, but reality,
and the people are becoming convinced that
the Order is here to stay. Manufacturers
and business men are rapidly adjusting their
affairs TO this end The accounts from every
state are Of a most cheering and satisfactory
character. The western oranges are gaining
members and influence steadily, and quietly
advancing the interests Of the farmer and
laborer.
Iu the eastern states the deputies are still
breaking the ground aud clearing away OBJ.
structions and attending to the preliminary
work by organizing oranges. Officers aud
agents are working industriously to perfect
our financial system, making satisfactory ar
rangements with importers, Wholesale dealers
aud manufacturers, and diffusiDg correct in-
formation among the members in regard to
the financial features Of the Order
Success seems to crown their efforts every.
where. As the grange aud its objects be-.
come better understood, business men and
manufacturers approve Of its objects and has
ten to make satisfactory arrangements with the
Order, until, to-day, we have better terms
with dealers and more satisfactory PROPOSE.

dent friends Of the Order anticipated one

eft of the shriekers of the North, to

Captain Hood, late of the Federal army,
the position of Quartermaster General,
which he has accepted. Governor
Porter was Confederate soldier, and

for hours, when the battles of the late
war were more or less discussed, when
so little of feeling was expressed that,

not be stated. That does not look
much like prescription, and | only

North could see the smiles of derision
