THE FIRST Snow OF THE SEASON appeared
on the SUBMITS of tho Catskill Mountains
yesterday morning. The despatch from
Ulster county, published in the HERALD tc-
day, also states that a slight snow squall
visited Tivoli on Wednesday. 1t was due to
the rapid rise in the barometer and equally
sudden fall in temperature. The atmo-
sphere in the region indicated was suf-
ciently humid, the degree Of moisture being
equal to seventy-one per cent. to produce
the rainfall, which was converted into snow
as it descended through the cold stratum of
air. The recent severe heats of summer
must be compensated for by cold winter,
and this early indication of its approach
serves as timely warning to prepare for its
coming. The present distress among the
poor will be further aggravated by the pierre
ing cold, and now is the time for the chari-
tably disposed to prepare for giving out of
their abundance to those who sadly need
relief. Invalids will also suffer from the
sudden change. and we may look for de-
cided increase in the number of cases of
pneumonia and its kindred diseases, which
are due as much to indiscreet exposure and
delay in donning of warm winter clothing
as to natural delicacy of constitution.

ONE OF SEwARD's MEN- Evarts in his
culogy of Seward justly spoke of the con-
duct of our relations with England and
France in the difficult phases of the war and
the keeping the peace between them and us
as the great Secretary's greatest achieve
ment. Few even at the time comprehended
the dangers Of our relation in that regard,
or the difficulty of the labor so happily per-
formed in the avoidance of complications
which might have given those Powers just
grounds or even a fair pretext for coming to
the rescue of the rebellion. One of the men
associated with that great achievement-al-
most as much entitled to the main credit as
Mr.. Seward himself-was Mr.. Charles Fran
els Adams, then our Ministsr to England.
This gentleman is now a democratic candi-
date in Massachusetts, and his great achieve
ments are forgotten by the party which
claims to possess all the patriotism, and he
is reviled and vituperated by republican
papers.

unfit for his Office as he is. has the support
OF the Northern republican leaders. For the
furtherance of his own ambition he allows
whole State to fall into social disorder, and
he is countenanced by the national repub-
lican party. or by its leaders. Can they
afford to support him? Can they afford, in
the face of the approaching election. to
identify themselves and their party with
Chamberlain Is it no, necessary, before
they can properly ask Northern men to vote
the republican ticket, that they shall openly
cut the party loose from such hangers-on as
Chamberlain, Packard and Spencer?

Facts from South Carolina.

We reprint elsewhere o remarkable article
from the Charleston Necs and Courier, of Sep
tember %. 1t gives a melancholy picture
of lawlessness in the lower parts of the State.
The Ne,rs and Courier is democratic journal,
but it is conducted by honorable men, who
did not hesitate to speak out when the Ham,
burg massacre occurred, and who have
shown by their course that they are sin
cerely deslrous of justice to white and black
alike. The instances of lawlessness they
recito are aggravated by the manner in which
the republican State government deals with
them. Nothing is done by the republican
Governor or the republican judges and
other officers to repress or punish outrage.
Governor Cham mbcrlain abandons his post
of duty in the midst of such events. He is
ready enough to call for federal troops but
he and his officers are evidently unfit for
their duties. Yet they seek reelection.
Of course they ought to fail and we again
advise the peaceable colored people Of the
State to vote for General Hampton and the
democratic ticket. 1t is their duty to the
State and to themselves to do so
But Mn Chamberlain, inefficient, clearly

Jerome Park FAN Meeting.

Tomorrow the fall meeting of the Ameri-
can Jockey Club begins on the beautiful
race course at Jerome Park under the best
promise Of fine sport and crowded attend
ance The racing will be continued on the
Sd, 5th, 7th, 10th, 18th aud 14th days OF
October. Thirty three events are to be de-
cided by the feet-footed animals, which. In
addition to their olden hold upon our admi-
ration, are interesting from the glorifcation
they have received at the hands Of Professor
Huxley. Just as the Bourgeois Gentilhomme
of Moiere had been talking prose all his life
without knowing it so most of US have been
prasing the horse and prating about i'm
proving his breed, without being aware
what aid we were giving to the evolution
theory Of the scientists These gentlemen
look back through the ages, or rather down
through the rocks to the time when the
horse had four fingers and thumb, and
went about throwing hand springs over the
rocks and powders of very primitive
world. If one Of these hobbling. hoohess
creatures could be revivified and entered for
the Nursery Stakes the brilliant gathering of
gazing at as they saw the youngsters dash
away from this very old horse. We should
like to compare his time over four miles
with that of Ten Broeck's the other day at
Louisville. But we have not to 60 back
quite SO far to judge how much the Ameri-
can Jockey Club has done for the breed of
horses in America. When the turf was rap
idly drifting into disrepute and there was
nothing SO unreliable as the honesty OF
horse race the organization of the American
Jockey Club came to the rescue of this beau
tiful sport and gave gentlemen who desired
to become the owners of blooded animals for
racing purposes firm ground ON which to
practise it. Hence arose wider interest
in the breed Of the horse and bestowal Of
public favor upon the racing gatherings of
America, which is steadily on the increase.
AS this meeting falls within the centen-
NAL period we may expect to see thou
sands of the visitors who are aocking
from all over the country to the Exhibition
at Philadelphia spend day at the races.
With very few exceptions the visitors from
distant points spend from day to a week in
New York, and carriage drive through Cen
tral Park is sure to be on their programme.
As this ride through Central Park is by
far the most delightful route to the race
course, and as at this period Of the year,
when the trees are putting on their russet
glories, the Park is at it's best, we may ex-
pect that the visitors will kill two birds
with one stone-i. e., enjoy day Of genuine
sport at the course and feast their eyes upon
our lovely Park as they so and return. To-
morrows contests will include three-quar-
ters of mile dash with maiden allowances
the Jerome Stakes for three-year-olds, two
miles always fine race; the Nursery
Stakes for two-year-olds, one mile the Man
haitian Handicap, one mile and q quarter; and
a selling race, one mile and m eighth. We,
therefore, look forward to fine sport and
brilliant throng, with scenes upon the road
that will make pageant from Madison square
to the gates of Jerome Park.

picion can be put upon the motives of Secre-
tary Fish.
If we were to find any fault with Mr.. Fish
or with his predecessor, Mr. Seward, re-
specting extradition between this country
and Spain, it would be in the form of blame
for not having made treaty covering this
subject. To be sure. it takes two parties to
make contract, and Spain is not nation
that easily adopts improvements. But when
she was so anxious to get possession of
Arguelles Mr.. Seward might have taken adj
vantage of the occasion to propose treaty
Of extradition. Mr.. Fish had no such oppor-
tunity in the case of Tweed, because we were
the nation that was seeking a favor. But
there is no evidence that either he or Mr..
Seward ever made the faintest attempt to
negotiate on extradition treaty with Spain.
The whole drift and tendency of modern
opinion, especially in free countries, is to
withdraw this question from the discretion
or caprice of rulers for the time being,
and make it the subject of obligatory
regulation, in accordance with strict
rules In international as we'll as domestic
administration 1t is important to substitute
o government of law for a government Of
caprice 1t is consistent with justice and
necessary for the protection of innocence
that surrenders shall be made only on evil
dence duly examined by proper magistrates.
All extradition treaties make provision for
this, and we trust the time is not distant
when the old doctrine of international COM
ity on this subject will be wholly super
seded by treaty arrangements We are so
near to Cuba and so near to Canada that it
is especially important that we have extra
dition treaties with Great Britain and
Spain ; but unfortunately we ore dependent
on the mere comfy of one and have lately
found our treaty with the other worthless,
broken reed. We would fain hope that be-
fore Mr.. Fish retires from Office he will
crown his career with efficient extradition
treaties with these two nations

Married women .. Teachers.

The Board of Education last week directed
the Committee on Bylaws to consider
very important subject-the employment of
married women as teachers in the public
schools. The committee will meet this
afternoon at the hall Of the Board and will
discuss the question within the limits of the
following resolution:-"T the subject of
the employment Of married women as teach
ers in the public schools and their continu-
ance in the employment of the Board as
teachers after marriage be referred to the
Committee on Bylaws, and that they be re-
quested, after o careful consideration of the
subject, to report what legislation, if any, is
required in regard to such employment
To us it appears that there should be no
difficulty in coming to just conclusion.
The object of Commissioner Fuller's reso-
luton. which we have quoted. is not easily
understood. No objection that we remem-
Der has been made to the employment Of
married women as teachers. and no special
reason for this investigation is known to US.
1t may be inferred, however that there is o
belief in some quarters that married women
canno. at once do justice to their school and
family obligations, and that it is for the in
terests Of education that teachers should be
The old woman Of Mother Goose celebrity,
who lived in a shoe and had so many chill
dren that she didn't know what to do would
not be able to add public school to her
domestic responsibilities but all married
women are not in that predicament Many
of the best teachers have been married
women, and the reason is evident-they
have had experience in the management of
children, and the practical common sense
learned in q household becomes broad and
general in the conduct of school. The art
of teaching does not wholly exist in hearing
ence md maternal watchfulness over the
characters and tendencies Of the young To
be sure, single women may possess all the
tact and authority q teacher needs, but
married women are naturally likely to pos
sess these valuable qualities. So far from
ing upon the theory that family duties
divert their attention from the school we
would prefer that the Board of Education
should decide that certain proportion of
teachers in our public schools shall be mar
ried women. We believe that careful in
quiry would show that the standard of
scholarship in classes taught by married
women is quite as high as in those taught
by spinsters.
Another point to be remembered is that
any sweeping legislation by the Board of
Education dismissing from their employ
ment oil married women without discrimi-
nation would be to place brand upon
marriage. 1t would be injustice to some of
our ablest teachers who have made teaching
the business of their lives, and who depend
upon that profession for their livelihood.
We believe that Commissioners West,
Beardslee, Baker. Hazeltine and Walker,
who compose the committee, will take
liberal view Of the question, and report in
favor Of the married ladies.

.Economy and reform" In E.r.s.t.

ECONOMY and Reform" In Earnest
This economy and civil service reform
business is getting serious. The people
have been so belabored about the necessity
for greater economy in the government and
for a reform in the civil service that they be-
gin to believe in these doctrines We warn
the politicians of both sides to be on theil
guard. They will have to live up to theiI
professions. 1t was said in 1861 by shrewd
politician that the long-continued outcry
about danger to the Union" kept up by
democratic politicians against the republi-
cans, was fatal to the Southern democrats
when they attempted to secede. The people,
warned by the democrats, turned against
them when they proved false to their pro.
fessions. 1t threatens to be SO now about
reform and economy. The people 'believe
in it" Here, for instance, is o series OF
questions which are addressed to several
Western candidates for Congress by voters
creased, and who are alarmed about
Southern war clalms:-
First-As Representative in Congress- arc you Ia
of the United states Treasury the 81 492 Ito direct
taxes paid by thcmY
Seeomt-Are you IN favor OF, or opposed to, refund
ing tho cotton tax, in whole or in part levied ana
collected from 1868 10 1863. and amounting 20
Sos, or, ,3SSf
Third Aro you In favor or or opposed to, the pay
ment Of and supplies taken or OF rent Tor the
and occupation OF property, including vessels,
where the claim Is in favor 0t n citizen who waB dis
loyal during the wary
fourth-H you arc opposed to the pay ment OF such
claims, are you IN favor OF, and will you aid in the
hall. dor
tho House oil Representatives against the recognition
or payment OF Them by the United states'
10 these questions candidates are re-
quested to make categorical replies, and
our advice to them is to ''answer quick"
Southern war claims to the amount of sew
eral hundred million dollars are likely
to be brought up; some are already before
the present House of Representatives. If
candidate really favors economy he will
pledge himself to reject them all, for it is
not reasonable that we should pay the ex-
penses of both sides in war which we did
not begin, and the taxes are high enough
now.
And here is another equally important
question, which constituents begin to thrust
at candidates for Congress-
viii you, II elected, con0ne yourself to giving In
formation or advice to tho Executive when asked and
for the rest mind your own business, leaving the
President and departments TO attend to theirs?
That means civil service reform. Every
Congressional candidate. democrat and
republican, ought to have this question put
to him, and ought to be required to answer
it. A House Of Representatives fully OK
even largely committed by public pledges
to such non.interference with the appoint
ments, would have time to attend to its
legitimate duties, and would give the next
President, whether he is republican or dem-
ocratic, q fair opportunity to introduce and
perfect reform in the civil service, which
is moro necessary to an economical admin
istration than anything else.

BASQUE PRIVILEGES. The determination
of the Alfonsist government, in Spain, to
destroy the exceptional privileges of the
Biscayans known as fueros seems to have
thrown the provincials into an attitude Of
been their pride. While We may be senti-
mental over the manner in which these gal.
liant but narrow-minded people have fought
for their olden laws, we think that the utter
obliteration Of these special privileges will
tend to make easier the progress OF liberia
government in q united Spain.
