Seymour for every convention of democrats,
and the disorganizers who were in sympathy
with Governor Tilden's plans availed them
selves of that charm to defeat serious nom-
ination. They threw in that name as the
cunning racer threw the apples before the
swift competitor to tempt her away from the
gcal.
There was more than mere disorganization
in their scheme. however, for it promised
this advantage to themselves-thati if they
could put their man in the second place he
might in one of several contingencies attain
the first place. 1t was, therefore, an attempt
to use Mr.. Seymour as a tool to utilize the
well-earned credit of his name for the pur-
pose of desperate personal project that
will destroy every man connected with it.
And the failure to give the State Committee
the usual authority to fill vacancies will,
perhaps, turn ont to have been part of the
scheme, which Mr.. Seymour's frmness has
SO promptly exposed.

lations are restored to the great family OF
Baptists in tho North and South. The
Erdngelist halls the goodly prospect OF
organic reunion, and adds:-''It is a day to
expect the greatest and best events in the
churches, and among these are great recon-
citations among long and bitterly divided
households of the same faith and order.
The Observer also joins the chorus and halls
the event under consideration as another
evidence that the time has fully come for
burying the differences of the past and re-
storing the bonds of Christian fellowship as
they once existed among all the branches Of
the Church. The result of the deliberations
of the joint commission, says the Observer,
cannot fail to bring JOY to every Christian
heart, not only in the two communions rep
resented, but throughout the whole Church
of Christ, wherever the circumstances of the
separation and the promise of the reunion
are known. This result will doubtless be a
surprise as well as joy to large part Of
the Christian public. 1t was as little to be
expected in ard from this quarter as in any
branch Of the Church.

Rotten Savings Banks.

Two more savings banks in the hands of
receivers. Pleasant news, is it not, for the
poor depositors? The greater number of
our savings banks fortunately, are sound.
But why were not all so? These banks are
under the special control of the State Super
intendent of Banking. He holds his Office
in order that he may by his vigilant scrutiny
of these banks protect the industrious poor
from loss. The law gives him abundant
powers to ascertain their condition at
all times, and to make suro that
the funds intrusted to them by poor
working men and women are sacredly
guarded. Yet five or six savings banks have
suspended since last fall, and in some of
them, it is now known, gross frauds were
for long time going on. Has the Superin-
tendent of Banking no responsibility in this
matter? He draws his pay; he has sworn to
perform his duty; he neglects 1t, and the
industrious poor lose their little savings
through his cold carelessness.
We have been waiting to hear from Gov
crnor Tilden on this subject He is the
Chief Executive of the State. The Bank
Superintendent is his subordinate. The
Governor is responsible that his subordi-
mates do their duties faithfully. But the
Governor is busy with politics. He does
not seem to care about the poor depositors.
At least there is no evidence in any net of
his that he either knows or cares about their
moneys. There is so much talk about re-
form in these days that We wonder some of
the reformers do not, for sweet consistency's
sake, look little after the hard savings of
the working men and women of New York
and see to it that the savings banks are
honestly conducted.

Tho President as n Speaker.

1t is singular evidence Of the judicious
spirit of General Grant that he, who is in
reality fluent and even gossipy talker,
should, after so many years of public life,
retain the reputation of being an uncom-
monty taciturn man. The fact is that he
speaks freely only to a few persons whom he
chooses rs the recipients Of his confidence,
and that, moreover, he speaks only on those
matters which he selects. The White House
could tell of many curious and laughable at
tempts to pump" the President, all of them
failures. II approached my subject very
carefully" said politician in Washington
last winter, relating one of these failures.
"The President was remarkably full of
talk; / never saw him freer, and 1
kept him going until at last I thought my
time had come, and I asked my question.
All at once his mouth closed and do what
l would never got another word out of
him." That is the story of many attempts to
''make him talk" But that he can speak,
and to the purpose, everybody knows who
has ever come near him on congenial
topic, and the long interview with HERALD
correspondent, recorded in yesterdays
Herald, shows it clearly.
Tho President is evidently not alarmed
about the result of the election. He is O
very shrewd politician, and his opinion
is worth more than that of most men.
He has kept very close eye on the canvass,
for it is well known that he sincerely be-
lieves that the good of the country demands
another four years Of republican rule He
early saw the causes which led to the pro-
tracted conferences between Governors Til
den and Hendricks "Tilden dares not lose
Indiana" he said at the time therefore he
means to write such letter as will not
offend Hendricks" The result proved him
q sagacious prophet.
We notice that the President does not
claim Louisiana or Florida; and this again
shows his sasacity and the closeness with
which he watches political events. Louisiana
will probably, as he knows, go democratic
and he probably knows also that it ought
to-that. the good of oil classes in the State
demands change there, which, indeed, is
desired by the best republicans. North
Carolina, South Carolina West Virginia and
Maryland he expects the republicans to
carry. That he did not add Virginia proves
again that he is o cautious calculator.
1t is pleasant to read such frank utter
ances from the President. He begins
already, in fancy, to feel the burden and
cares of State slipping from his shoulders.
We do not doubt he will lay them down
altogether with sigh Of relief and we wish
him many years of happy and careless case
and enjoyment.

The RECENT PRIZE FIGuT-The "strong
light that beats upon throne" may also
fall upon q prize fight. The people
who think that the late fight near Penns-
vile N. j., did not deserve reporting mis-
understand the functions of the news
papers. Weeden, the man who is as
serted to have indirectly caused the
death of Walker, and who was detected,
arrested, and is now imprisoned. was dis
covered by a policeman who had read the
description of him in the HERALD reports.
The story is elsewhere told, and tho ability
of Captain Allaire deserves commendation.
The New Jersey statutes in respect to prize
fighting do not take into considerat on the
question of the death of ono of the prnci-
pals, but the common law may come to the
help of the special acts Of the Legislature.
That Weeden deserves u severe punishment
no one can deny. 1t would hardly be
fair to accuse this man of murder in the first
degree because he is poor pugilist, who
takes the risk he expects his opponent to
accept; but the brutal sport should have
its penalties. Here is man who has killed
another, or who has helped to kill him, and
society demands that he shall receive the
punishment of his rebellion. 1t is hard to
abolish prize fighting, but it is growing
more repulsive year by year.

Pulpit Topics To-day.

Our advertising columns and budget Of
topics yesterday and to-day indicate the
very general return of our city pastors to
their focks and their homes Mr. Lloyd
starts out with love for the Church of God,
and makes the immovable apostle his goal.
Mr.. Herr will tell his people what the
preachers theme and work are, and Mr..
Hatfield will give some reflections connected
with his summer vacation as illustrating
Gods care over his people and the corre-
spending call for obedience and thankful
ness on their part. What the particular
needs of the Church are at this time we shall
learn from Mr.. Leavell, and that sin is
cheat, if we did not know before, Mr.. Cook
would demonstrate to us to-day, and at
the same time show us the neces-
sity for the spiritual change which
we call the new birth. But if there
be any doubt about it Mr.. Muir will
make it so plain that the human heart is
den of iniquity that no one will doubt it
hereafter In such case the power of the
Cross must be put forth to cleanse tie heart
ere there can be any church OF the present
or of the future to speak about, as DR.. Lori
mer will dilate upon to-day. And with the
heart thus purified the Lords Prayer, on
which Mr.. Martyr will speak, can be offered
acceptably. 1t is one thing to build and
another to keep what we build. 1t is there
fore an important work for DR.. Deems to
show us how to build and keep. And think
ing Of Christ, we come to appreciate more
and more, with Mr.. Mccarthy, His mediate
rial sacrifice, and to render to Him the
homage of our hearts and lives as we'll as Of
our lips. The sayings of God are impor-
tant at oil times and worthy of closest atten-
ton but MIR. Bache he's selected q few of
them to call special attention to to-day, while
DR.. Armitage will demonstrate that q soul
may be saved from death by them Mr.. Morgan
will set up the career of Manasseh, the
prince of fast young men, as an example to
those fastening on in his footsteps, and il
they do not repent soon Bishop Snow, who
thinks he is the prophetic sign to be spoken
against, will consign them to the great burn-
ing, but to relieve their anxiety will tell
them the time and manner Of that terrible
day of the Lord. What life one must live
among conhagrations and dissolutions and
crashings of worlds visible and invisible,
as this messenger of God does He'll could
hardly have any terrors for such man.

ALTHOUGH JuDoE GRAY, tho President Of
the Saratoga Convention, had Mr.. Seymour's
declination of the nomination for Governor
in his pocket when the Convention re-
assembled on Thursday morning he did not
find out that the nominee would not accept
until he read it in the HERALD interview the
next day. II he had sent us that despatch
for publication ut the time he received it he
would have got the news day earlier and q
great blunder would have been averted by
the New York democracy.

The BROOKLYN DocroRs are still debating
the terms in which the recent yellow fever
case should have been described Dr. John
son, the attending physician, in his report to
the Board Of Health ascribed the death Of
his patient to malignant bilious fever"
and it is contended that DR.. Otterson should
have understood this to mean yellow fever.
This is probably true but if DR.. Johnson
had called yellow fever simply yellow feve,
there would have been no misrepresentation.
1t must be said in his behalf, however, thai
the fault of not calling things by their right
names is the fault of his profession.

Opening OF the Public Schools.

The opening of the public schools each
year is an event as significant and important
as the annual elections. Our citizens gen.
orally take too little interest in the matter Of
the education of their children; but still our
common school system seems TO be increas-
ing in usefulness and efficiency from year to
year, and, from what we know of the teachers
we believe they are an intelligent and discreet
body of men and women. Still parents will
do we'll to exercise something like a personal
oversight over the persons to whom the edu-
cation of their children is committed, not
officiously or offensively, but by way
Of encouragement rather than correc-
ton. The course of study is best
left to those whose duty it is to pro-
vide it for the schools. AS our readers are
doubtless aware, new curriculum has been
adopted for the present year, and we lay the
whole course of study before them for the
first time this morning. 1t will be seen that
it is very elaborate and in the main we be-
licve it is very good. Its principal defect is
in the fact that it is procrustean in its nppica-
tion-a defect that is in some respects in
herent in the public school system. No al
lowance is made for the difference in the
mental and physical aptitude of pupils
The quick child and the dull one are
made to travel Mt the same pace. Ex-
are nil very we'll, no doubt, but the drill
must become exceedingly irksome to the
child who wishes to get on and cannot
because he is held back by the dullards.
To make course of study suitable to the
needs of the schoolroom it must be flexible,
and there must be fexibility in classifca-
ton as we'll as in the curriculum. Our OBJ
lection to the American collegiate courses is
mainly in the cast iron procrustean charac-
ter of the system which most so-called col
leges pursue. Like tho Attic highwayman,
they make their victims, whether tall or
short, fit the bed whose length their wisdom
has ordained. This is what we now
find our Board of Education doing,
even with the little children. Dog
berry was nearer right than most people
imagine when he said that reading and
writing come by nature. Give a child
books and papers and he will learn to read
unless he is very dull indeed but drill such
q child for months and years in vowel
sounds and combinations of letters and
figures and object lessons, rs plain to his
eyes rs to his teachers and often more won
derful to his imagination, and ten chances
to one he will become disgusted with his
schoolroom before he ought to be sent to it
at all. Mr.. Thomas Gradgrind evidently
had a hand in the preparation of this elab-
crate course of study, but it must be re-
membered that Gradgrind seldom obtained
results from his magnificent array of facts.
We are not arraigning the splendid pro-
gramme the Board of Education has
adopted on the other hand, we rather like
its appearance on paper; but then we should
not like to see the teachers in our public
schools adhering to it as if it was like law
of the Medes and Persians.

WALL STREET YESTERDAY. Speculation
was most active with the coal stocks, which
suffered further decline The general
market was heavy, and, with few exceptions,
lower. Gold opened at 100 7-S, declined to
100 3-4 and closed weak at 100 5-S. Govern
ment bonds were steady. Railroad bonds
were generally lower. Money was in abun-
dant supply at per cent on call.

The STATUE OF LAFAYETTE, the gift of
France to America, is to be inaugurated on
Wednesday in Union square. This work of
art will long stand, we trust, not only as o
memorial of the services of Lafayette to the
struggling colonies, but as mark in the
centennial of our independence of the good
feeling of the two republics, to the establish
nent Of which these services led.

An EXAMINATION of the schedule Of the
freight charges of the Pennsylvania Railroad
will show that it costs nearly twice as much
to ship goods to Western Pennsylvania as to
points in Ohio, Indiana and Illinois. This
act alone shows the utter recklessness Of the
freight war between the trunk lines but if
The railroads only ruin themselves by this
folly the ''war" may as well go on.

FIGHTING IN SERvIA was progressing ac-

courageously.

THERE NEVER WAS A CAMPAIGN more dis
graceful than that of Servia against Turkey,
unless it be the campaign of Turkey against
Servia. We have been told repeatedly that
the subjects of Prince Milan were in the
habit of wounding themselves to escape
going into battle, and now we are informed
that they shot their Russian officers for
compelling them to fight for their country,
their race and their religion. The butcheries
Of the Turks are atrocious but the abject
rowardicc of the Servians is incxplicable.

The WYATHER.-The brisk after winds that
olew from the northward and westward with
. maximum velocity of twenty-four miles an
hour during yesterday indicated that the area
oflow pressure had passed us during the night
before. A shor: and not very heavy shower
of rain marked its presence, bu, this quickly
gave place to the cooling winds that rushed
toward the atmospheric depression. We will
now enjoy bright and bracing weather for a
few days, but let us mako the most of it, for
another area of low barometer has manifested
itself in Dakota and comes on apace. This
will cause a return Of the high temporature,
though with a seasonable modification of the
heat. The weather conditions prevailing at
present in the United States are very
varied. In the northeast and the north
west there are areas Of low barometer and
. high pressure extending all over the Mis-
sissippi Valley from the lakes to the Gulf
Threatening weather, variable winds and
rains, however, prevail in the southern por-
tions of Mississippi, Louisiana and Texas,
and storm centre is moving in the Atlantic
of the coast of Northern Florida To-day
the weather in New York will be pleasantly
cool and clear, with moderate wind from
he westward.
