STNDJY STE1MBOITING.

Yesterday was mostly a charming day for
the little voyages of the steamboats, with their
freights of seekers after fresh air and tOler-
able temperature. The Sylvan Dell and the
Sylvan Grove and the Sylvan Glen and the
Sylvan Stream, all flags and festivity, pulled
away from their piers for the dells and groves,
the gens and streams of Harlem and Astoria;
other banks more ambitious sought the roar OF
Rockaway; while passing by many seductive
SPOT, there were those whose tastes carried them
as far as New-H Haven, and who came back III the
evening full of those high moral influences IN
which it is needless to say Connecticut
abounds For these fugitives from care there
was music and dancing and sea air, and we
hope sobriety. Certainly if there is to be Sun
day pleasuring there could be nothing
prettier and nothing more salubrious than
these excursions. They give maxi
mum Of innocent pleasure at minimum OF
price. They are usually orderly, though not
SO invariably. Those who have plenty OF
leisure and can make every day holiday If
they choose. can hardly appreciate the zest
with which those who for n week have been
toing, take their fill of sunshine and pure air
and the sights of the sea and the shore. Nor
need these trips interfere with the due reliS-
ious observance of the day. Most Of the
churches are open early enough in the morn
ing for early prayer and praise; and we sus-
pect that some who avail themselves of Sun
day TO get q glimpse of something better than
brick walls and stony streets, do not forget
the sanctuary before their departure.
We are well aware that this method Of
passing Sunday may, in the opinion OF many
worthy persons, require defense. We shall not
undertake it, unless it be n defense to say
that this Sabbath sailing is better than loung-
ing at the street corners, or carOusng secretly
in saloons, and then going home to abuse
some patient wife, or 30 beat the helpless
children. 1t is usually as quiet and harmless
rs any Dissertation can beat least it would
always be so if the New-York ruiiian did not
have n habit OF insolent intrusion and of find
ing his comfort in spelling the comfort of
others. IL is not irrcligious to seek health and
rest, and it is not worse to seek them by n
sail than by walk. care being taken not to
neglect other and graver duties. If q mans
conscience commands him to stay at home at
home let him stay. IL it permits him to go
abroad, let him go in decent and respect
able manner. being always careful not to
offend the feelings or interfere with the OBJ
scryances of his more scrupulous neighbors.
Keeping barroOm open in defiance of law
is to maintain a nuisance; participating in
pleasures which need disturb nobody is quite
another matter.

marty in power could food the country with its CAM
naen literature under official signatures, forged OF
otherwise and compel the postmasters to distribute
carcatures and venomOus assaults on political oppo-
nents without paying cent OF postagei Well, last
March Mr. Robertson obtained unanimous consent
in the Senate to introduce o Dill winch
simply and BADLY renewed the franking privilege
Perhaps it struck few of the Senators, however,
that such proposition might excite some popular
feeling that would interfere with Presidential pros
meets. So the Committee on POst-Ofices ana POST
Roads took the bill in hand and amended 1t. ana IL
was again brought forward last week. Inc
new measure attaches some trihing formahties 10
the performance of ranking, but it would practi-
cally bring about the old system again. Members Oh
Congress know perfectly well how the public regard
tbs ranking fraud, and with such knowledge
should have sense enough TO perceive that the res
toration of the privilege in any form will bring I'M
qualified odium on all concerned. If both parties
should engage in passing it, the fact might prove
the most effective of weapons to 3 third party.
Among the more important proceedings OF the Ma
tional Academy of Sciences at its recent annual
meeting were its memorials to Congress. One OF
these urges that the course OF Official experiments 10

tories Tho earlier experiments are described Ill

other memorial sets forth the importance and value
of having survey made of the tract OF ocean along
the shores of Labrador and Newfoundland, which
serves as the principal pathway for Atlantic steam
ers. The object of this survey will DO to determine
tbe laws governing the movement of ice
bergs in this tract between February and
August. 1t is believed that their movements
can DO ascertained in advance, so that
warnings can lie given by telegraph, enabling YES
sells when leaving port to avoid this danger. AT
least three of the large passenger steamers that nave
been sunk in the ocean, leaving nobody to tell their
story are believed to have been wrecked by ice
bergs, and q proposition which points the way
toward diminishing such peril is certainly well
worth considering.

Tile EXCISE JU.MBLE.

Yesterday morning, albeit the morning OF the
Sabbath, promised anything but peace. If
there was apprehension of violence and of
rioting it was no more than might be reason
ably expected with the underlined notions of
jurisdiction and of responsibility which for
several days had embarrassed everybody
Nothing could be more mischievOus than the
conflict of opinion between Recorder Hackett
and the Police Commissioners. Nothing could
be more certain than that the charge of the
last named functionary did not encourage
the effort to close the bars. 1t seemed to
leave the police, 80 far rs enforcement of the
Sunday statute was concerned, well nigh
W. thout the support Of the courts. Then to
cOmplcate matters came an injunction, re-
straining the police from entering place of
public entertainment without paying the usual
price of admission. Then on Saturday after
noon came vacation of this injunction
by the same judge. Thus were continued
the uncertainties which have complicated
matters from the beginning. Nothing
seemed settled except the determine
ton of Gen. Smith. the President of the Police
Board, to enforce the law with all the power
at his command. Even the liquor dealers, who
are held to bail by hundreds, do not find the
District Attorney eager for trial. Matters
being in this loose condition, what are we to
expect but prOlongation of pretense and
of tOmfoolery in the place of vigorous vim
dication of justice The trouble will go on
until there shall be something like accord be-
tween our Courts our Boards and our Com
miSSiOns

THE RANKS.

The bank statement of Saturday last IL
chiefly remarkable for the continued decrease
of loans, the large decrease of specie, and the
rapid improvement in legal-tendcr reserves.
Although there il a net decrease of $374,675
in the total reserve, the specie on hand being
reduced $1,759, 700, there is an increase of
ST. ,293.5 800 in the legal tenders held, which
are now 25.O1 per cent of the deposits. AS is
usual at this season, the banks are in de-
cidedly strong position, and the reduction IN
specie and increase in legal tenders held are
such as to warrant the hope that some of the
banks which have habitually neglected their
legal-tender reserves, have taken advantage of
the opportunity to fOrtify themselves against
the strain which may be expected later in the
season. In deposits there is decrease of
only $316,1OO. The circulation again recedes /;
the aggregate is now S15,S1O.1OO, decline
of over one million since March l. The
clearings approach closer to the return for the
corresponding week last year than has happened
for some months, but chiefly because the
transactions for the week ending June II,
1875, were unusually light.
The loan average declines again 81 ,3OS,S 800,
notwithstanding the remarkably low figures
hitherto reported. A decline of nearly twenty
one millions since March is IN unprecedented
phenomenon, and indicates clearly tho great
decline in business operations. Exceeding the
temporary reaction during the week ending
May 6, this decline has now been continuous
for three months, and, in view of the fact
that the dull Summer season is at hand, it is
likely that further decrease may be wit
messed. The banks now hold nearly $69,OOO,-
600 of idle money, having only $249.379,7O
loaned-a position which they have not APP
preached at any other time since the panic.
We need not conclude, however, that the

THE CONVICTION OF GEORGE LORD.


The jury in the Canal case at Buffalo found
a verdict of guilty against George ID. Lord
after half-hOur's deiberatiOn. This result,
though evidently just was not very conf
IDENTIFY anticipated. There were many who
believed that the money and influence OF the
Lords and the political importance OF the
Ring with which they have long been identi-
fed would prove too powerful for the prosecu-
ton that witnesses would be tempered with
or spirited away, and jurors would be induced
to close their ears The verdict is triumph
of the law over a most formidable combina-
ton, a proof that the movement for Canal
reform is something much more important
than the partisan device which those whom it
hurts are fond of declaring it to be, and a
step in the direction of purer politics not less
significant than was the conviction of Tweed
i'll New-YOrk.
1t has been widespread belief IN the in
terror of the State that, whatever the Governor
might do with small thieves the Lord combi-
nation was strong enough to defy him. The
members of this family held position in State
politics very much like that which the old
Boss of Tammany occupied in the city, but they
partly concealed their business operations under
a social responsibility to which Tweed never
aspired. Among all the gcntlemanly allies of
the Tammany chicftain there was not one who
believed him to be an honest man or would
have met him as q companion at the dinner
table. Tweed was driven for society TO the
Americas Club or to Davidson's back Office,
and he mixed his punch in room over his
stable. But when George ID. Lord was tied
for felony last week he had no difficulty in
finding reputable citizens clergymen, editors,
Judges, and so on, who could testify to his
| high standing in the community, and to a pub
| lie opinion which rated HIM among the worthy
| citizens of Rochester. The spectacle of such
a genteel offender in Jail will carry a forcibc
lesson, and will probably prove the death blow
| to the Canal Ring.
What effect it will have upon the political
fortunes of the Governor it is too soon to
predict The chiefs of the Canal faction are
already so intensely embittered against him
that an incident like this cannot increase their
opposition. They have known for year and
more that between them and Mr.. Tildcn il
was war to the knife, and the knife TO the
hilt. If they cannot destroy him they are all
likely to 60 to prison. The hostility to his
pretensions which has manifested itself 50
sharply during the past month is largely in
spired by their agents, and is altogether in
their interest But among the people at large
this evidence given at Buffalo OF the practi-
cality of the Governors reforms will make n
deep impression. There is yet time for public
sentiment among the Democracy to affect the
| delegates to St. Louis, and it is not at all I'M
| likely therefore that we shall hear less and
less from this time forth of discussions in the
party in New-York, and that the belief in
| Gov. Tilden's availability will increase.

commercial stagnation is peculiar 10 th's
country; the recent reduction OF the rate vi
discount by the Bank of France to poipt
lower than has been reached for years, ana tie
very low rate prevailing at London, as wei
as the returns of clearings at London, snow
that the paralysis affects other countries httie
less than this.
There appears to be considerable increase
in the amount of bank circulation surrendered.
The amount surrendered by the banks ID tins
city, 81 33, 700 during the past week, IS larger
than that of any other week since March 20,
and the weekly Treasury dispatch shows that
the same tendency has prevailed elsewhere.
This is perhaps due in part to the urgent needS
of some of the banks, in preparation for settle
meDts of June 30. Wherever bank Is
punched, with bonds at present prices, the DIS
position is strong to realize on the bonds, ana
add about 33 per cent to the capital immedl-
ately available for discharge of debts. On the
other hand the redemption bureau has been
working with unusual rapidity of late, so that
the amount of legal tenders on deposit Tor re-
demptiOn of bank notes has steadily declined
since April. The operations of this bureau, ami
the amount of legal tenders surrendered after
the LIST of July, will be watched with especial
interest
