DIRT DARKNESS. AND THE ELECTION.

Very few realize how largely our political
maiorities depend upon popular education.
But for the votes of five or six counties almost
wholly within sight from the spire of Trinity
Church, Mr.. Tilden would not have carried a
single Northern State except Indiana. New
York City gave him 10000 more than his
majority in tins State; few towns along the
Sound gave him his majority i'll Connecticut,
and Jersey City and its surroundings gave him
the vote of New-Jersey. Does any one imagine
that the population of these localities Is pre-
eminent in education Cut off the southwest
corner of Indiana-ScOtt, Washington, orange
Martin, Daviess Sullivan, and the few Demo
cratic counties south of them-and you cut OH
10. 600 Democratic majority, leaving the rest
of the State securely Republican. Is that
the most intelligent part of lndianaf
These few counties had 6l,l35 white
male adults in 1870. of whom S697, or more
than Ia in every 100, were unable to read
and write. In these figures two Republican
counties, Vanderburg and Gibson, are not IN
cluded. But in these and the rest OF the State
living north of the line described there were
327O96 white male adults, of whom only
27634 were unable to read and write-less
than 9 in every 100. Naturally, the more in
telligent body of the State gives 5000 Repub-
lcan and the more ignorant corner 10000
Democratic majority. In this dark hole De-
mocracy found the electoral votes of one State /;
in the slums of New York, New-Haven, Bridge
port, Jersey City, and a few other towns it
found three more, and outside of these delect-
able localities it was beaten in every Northern
State. Why not Darkness did not reign.
Set aside New-York City from this State, New
Haven and Fairfield Counties from Connecticut,
Hudson County Gncludng Jersey City from
New-Jersey, and the counties in the dark hole
from Indiana, and the proportion of white
male adults who cannot read and write in each

before them. 1t is not your slow-going,
phlegmatic man who drinks; it is the warm
blooded. eager fellow who finds his dull daily
routine intoerable. 1t is not your busy busi-
ness man. whose culture, friends and VIDE
social enoyments suffice to give outlet TO MS
appetite for excitement; it is the idle drone OF
the laborer who has neither social pleasures
nor culture but who has just as keen an appe-
tite for excitement as his richer neghbor. The
whisky bottle serves him in lieu OF club
society, opera, books. 1t is not liquor the
American wants it is stimulant, pleasure, IN
his money getting life. Give him these, and
he will drop his habit of tippling and treat
ing. AS proof of this we point our Episco-
pal friends to the late Exhibition. In all the
nine millions of people who passed in at the
gates there was not single arrest of man
who became drunk on the grounds. Ihe
mental stimulant, the excitement offered, was
sufficient liquor was not needed. The Eplsco-
nolians themselves have solved the problem
where they have established workngmen's
clubs, reading rooms, or the many attractions
of Young men or womens homes. The Chris
tian's work is to place innocent pleasures in
the reach of the homeless and the poor, and
with these to OutTival the attractions of the

THE sTATE BAR Association

The liberal plan. upon which the State Bar
Convention has been called, to meet In the
Capitol at Albany on Tuesday next, promises
the organization of State Bar Association
which will be a credit both to those taking
part in it and to the people OF this state.
There has been no secrecy in the movement,
no attempt at exclusiveness, no clique-the
whole bar were informed of the movement a
wear ago; each judicial district of the State has
apponted a full representation, consisting OF
twenty delegates and twenty alternates the
time of meeting has been duly announced,
and everything has been done on broad,
comprehensive system. The official list OF
delegates embraces many distinguished MEM
bers of the bar, and the average talent and
reputation make the convention most respect
able body of lawyers. There can be little
doubt that if the same unseliiSh and all
embracing policy shall continue to prevail,
the new State Association will at once become
a power for good and one to which lawyers
in other States and countries, rs well as the
people of our own State, will turn with con-
fidence at times for counsel and guidance.
One of the provinces of such an association
in its constant contact with society, State
warning when it shall perceive dangers to our
liberties or Constitution, and designate the safe
and legal road by which to prevent rs well as
remedy abuses. If such an association had
been in existence and, knowing that the Presi-
dental election was about to occur, had issued
an exposition of the laws as to the eligibility
of electors, the remedies for frauds or vacancies
and the methods Of canvassing i'll the various
States, before the nation became heated by the
political struggle, who does not see that some
of the evils under which the country Is now
suffering might have been entirely avcrted
A declaration of the law and its I'M
deIlying principles on these subjects by
the whole organized bar of this State
would have been received by the country
with profound respect and would have had
happy educational effect upon the masses.
But hereafter there will be other fields
where such declaration will be of public and
national Importance and the enlightened bar
of the Empire State cannot too soon organize
itself for such usefulness. Those who have
been appointed representatives in the conyen-
ton should put aside all other business and
be in their places on the 21st instant.

EPISCOPAL CHURCH CONGRESS.


The meetings of this body have been regarded
with especial interest by the public not only
because of its influence but partly because
there has been observed from year to year
marked and growing change in the intellectual
attitude Of its mcmbeTs-a tendency TO bring
all subjects to the test of live, sound common
sense rather than vague tradition; to pass by
purely doctrinal differences as unimportant, and
to concern themselves with the real practical
issues of the day. At the last meeting 1t was
observable that when problems concerning abs
and genuiexions were up for discussion
certain drOwsiness Overcame the majority OF
the members, but as soon as the Indian ques-
tion or wOman's work or any other live diff
Guilty was brought forward, they all wakened
at once and took hold of it with a most
promising amount of zeal, energy, or perhaps
sharp acrimOny. Our Episcopal brother of late
years does not wear his lawn sleeves with less
state but he gives us more proofs of the mans
muscles and warm flesh underneath them,
thereby showing that he is not, as many
suppose, graceful figure of the past but an
active leader of the present.
The Episcopal Church, IN spite of its inces-
SAINT discussion of mere formulas, has in fact
taken firmer grip on the actual obstacles to-
human progress than many other religious
bodies. 1t has virtually solved the Indian
problem, and brought the two great classes, the
rich and the poor, with their separate needs,
together in a new, practical, effective way.
We are not surprised, therefore, to find that
they have taken up boldly another unsOlved
riddle-intemperance-tO try what they can do
with it. Reform bodies usually give this matter
the g0-by. Even the prison refOrmers. when they
talk of prevention of crime, simply state the
fact that two-thrds of the inmates of our
jails penitentaries, and almshouscs are sent
there, directly or indirectly, by liquor and
there drop the subject. Physicians aclnOw-
edge that the majority of cases of insanity,
epilepsy, and all nervous diseases arise from
the inherited effects of alcoholism, and as
sure us that, from climatic and other reasons,
the American is less able to bear the effects
of liquor than the European. Now how do our
EpscOpalian friends propose to meet this very
live Satan9 One earnest speaker recommends
its punishment as n crime, forgetting that the
punishment of drunkenness already falls
heaviest on the drunkard. Nine out of ten
victims would free themselves from its deadly
hold if it were possible. A man who is not
daunted by the debasement of soul and body
the loss of fortune, friends, and life is not
likely to be deferred by the terrors of the law.
Another reformer declared total abstinence to be
the only cure for drunkenness, which is a self
evident axiom, but hardly pertinent to the
difficulty, which is, How to deter men from
drinking7 How keep the young lad, the tired
mechanic, from the temptation of the grog
shopf
The answer is, Put q stronger temptation

Adding the number of white male adults IN
the dark spots at the North, we find that MIR.
Tilden's votes came from localities having
9. 800. 293 white male adults, of whom 317,313,
or 1876 per cent, were unable TO read or Write'
But maiorities for Mr.. Hayes came from localities
having 5,755391 white male adults, of whom
only $50, ,953 or &C per cent, were unable to read
or write. If the contrast is not delightful to
Democrats, perhaps they may be interested on
some other occasion to learn more about the
source of their main strength at the North

THE Failure OF TIE POLAR EXPEDITION

THE FAILURE Or TIE TOL1h EAf EDiiioN'
BY the complete report of Capt. Mares por-
tions of which had hitherto been made public,
the reason for the failure of the expedition and
for its return, is at last made apparent. Hitherto
il has not been clearly shown that there was
good reason for abandoning the undertaking
while the Alert and Discovery were i'll
good positions for further work from
the head of Smiths Sound. Good success
had attended the sledge parties sent to east
ward and westward along the shore line OF
the newly discovered Arctic Ocean. The
northern sledge party had not been so fortu-
nate. having only penetrated 73 miles from the
position of the ship, and perhaps not more than
80 miles from Cape Joseph Henry. Great
difficulties were encountered III progress
toward the north, and further effort in that
direction last year would have evidently been
unyise. But the conditions of that ley sea
might wholly change next Summer. The ex-
pedition was abuDdantly fitted for another
years stay Why was return resolved upon
The answer is that nearly all the men and
officers of the expedition had suffered severely
with scurvy, and were so weakened by That
disease that sledge travel could not have been
successfully resumed if they had stayed at the
North another year. The details given
of the attacks of the disease are sur
prising. The entire crews of both vessels
suffered severely; the officers were at
lacked later. 1t came as direct consequence
of the hardship and exposure of sledge travel.
Can't. Mares is convinced that if there had
been no sledging work there would have
been no appearance of scurvy. He thinks,
however, that it was latent in both
crews, and that the sledge work merely
developed it. The officers were the
last to be attacked, only because
they were the last to labor at the sledges after
the rest were disabled. Two things are needed
to prevent attacks of scurvy: fresh meat and
lime juice. The expedition was not very
successful in shooting game. Hans, the
Esquimau, was their great reliance in hunting
seals, and his skill served almost as eifectually
as it did on the Polaris expedition to provide
food that saved human life. There is a hint
that the British ships were not supplied with
lime Juice; if such was the fact, somebody
blundered" frightfully when the expedition
was preparing for sea.
Under the circumstances, Capt. Mares was
perfectly justified in returning; he would have
done wrong to remain. But the route by
Smiths Sound need not be given up, nor is
the "Pole impracticable." The report does
New-York tribune., 1876-11-20

not make it certain that the ice OF the
Paleocrystic Sea is permanent; on the con-
trary Capt. Mares was evidently anxious lest
the ice should move while the northern sledge
party was upon it. Great risks will have to
be taken if that sea is to be navigated
by a steamship. 1t can only be done when the
wind there is blowing from the south
ward, carrying the ice of Smiths Sound
to the north and the chances are that the
channel though which vessel may find pass
age will be closed to a return. The report as
a whole is not nearly so discouraging to those
who are interested in polar navigation as were
the cable dispatches.
