MARRIAGE should not per Sc be an objec-
ton to lady teaching in the public schools.
This is a very simple proposition, but many
who agree to it forthwith pile up
doloful record of conditions which
should prevent married women from
teaching. The principal argument is
that the supply of unmarried young
ladies is SO great that. as they have to rely
on their own efforts for subsistence, prefer
ence should be given to them over those
who have had man solemnly promise to
cherish them. If this disposed of the sub
iect we should be able to set o troublesome
question at rest, but, unfortunately, it does
not. Any one who reads the interviews and
communications on this subject which we
publish in another place can convince him.
self that it has many sides. BY the way, we
do not like our correspondents to CRY ''old
maid" as they would ''mad dog" Celibacy,
at an advanced age, is not crime, nor
always misfortune. We would defend the
old maid as we'll rs the married women from
aspcrsions resulting solely from their condi-
ton.

sauce piq,lante. that burns the Ameri-
can cuticle when the mess is finally
thrown in our face; but On entertain
ing libeller like Dickens is fortunately
rare. Whether we have grown thick-skinned
and do not feel things as much rs we used,
or whether America has so increased her
stature that the witlings and peripatetic
quidnuncs cannot reach higher than our
risibles with their water-gruel sarcasm and
infantile invective we decline to say but
we do not ordinarily pay them much atten-
ton. Perhaps we understand their little
needs and their little methods better. When
we read Count Smorltorks book on the
Downfall Of America we recur to his great
work ON England about which the charm
ing anecdote is told. The famous Eng lish
philosopher Pickwick meeting the Count
at tate champetre, asked HIM
.'lIave you been long in England?r
"Iong-ver long Observation-Disclosures" replied
the Count.
.Do you stay hero lonsf"
"You will havo enough to do" said Mr.. Pickwick,
smiling compacently ITO gather ali the materials you
want in that time"
''Eh they gathered! They are here" said the
count, tapping MS I0renead slgnlncdnty. Large
book at homc-fu Of notes, music picture. science,
poetry, polite; all tings"
To be sure, with this example before his
eyes, even Dickens fell into the Smorltorkian
method when he came to America, but we
must remember that he had Smorltorkian
reputation of his own to keep up and o
Smorltorkian public to swallow his Notes. A
European who writes fair book about
America produces that sense of disappoint-
ment among his people which we all
should feel if dramatist introduced a
Gascon who did not brag. His book
does not go. Therefore. we beg our con-
tenAporaries not to be angry with any young
man who, after a few months residence here,
takes on himself to tell what he thinks he
ought to think or what his people at home
expect him to think about us. If Count
Smorltork had remained here whole month
he would not be satisfied to play Washing
tons ghost at the end of the book, but would
go home persuaded he was Washington him
self Let us thank Providence that Smorl-
tork only stayed three weeks, and let us re-
gard all Of his ilk with that benevolent sur
prise which illuminated the countendhce of
Pickwick when he replied "Indeed!' to

Prescription in South Carolina is takink
shape. Governor Chamberlain has issued
an order disbanding rife clubs in two
counties of the State, presumably because
the members are democratic. If he goes on
he may provoke another Hamburg outrage,
which would be a godsend to the bloody
shirt patriots just now. We do not see that
rifle clubs arc necessary to an election, but
if the order to disband them is to be an ex-
cuse for bringing in the soldiers, bad work
is beginning.

IL It q Myth

Lemuel Tyler, A. A., says that if there is
any harm in the relations of Governor
Hayes to the A. A., that Governor Tilden is
not guiltless. because he was indorsed BY
the same body once and was glad about it,
but requested Lemuel to keep the fact Sc
cret He did not want it to be known that
he knew Lemuel, which may not be odd.
But who is Lemuel Tyler, A. A.? He says
that the letter from Hayes secretary was
.staken from his Office" which seems to i'm
ply that he has an Office. In what street Of
what city and at what number of the street
is that office to be found? There is a post
Office address in the published letter, but
tho box is not Lemuel's now, and there is an
intimation that it was closed because the
amount Of the little bill was not iorthcom-
ing. If that be true, tho A. A. is appar-
emily not in funds, and that is strange
condition for body which endorses" Presi-
Dental candidates. Perhaps it indorses too
much. George Psalmanasar invented q nation
once, and even invented the language which
the people spoke, and DR.. johnson said it
was q copious and excellent language and
George lived on his invention for
some years. We hope that Lemuel, if there
is any Lemuel, is not disciple Of
George in the way of invention but it
would not astonish us to learn that he had
invented the American Alliance and sold its
secrets to the innocent young gentlemen
who manage the Tilden campaign.

Election EstImate.-

We print elsewhere some prophecies about
the New York election from the managers Of
both parties. The democratic chiefs are
very confident They tell of great gains oil
over the State, and Governor Tilden is said
to assert that he will carry New York by Mt
least seventy thousand majority, which is q
very handsome vote indeed. The republi-
cans are no less confident, though not nearly
so communicative. At their headquarters
they were not guessing at majorities when
the HERALD reporter called but it is under
stood that Governor Morgan estimates the
majority for Hayes in the State at about
fifty thousand.
Unless the politicians this year achieve q
miracle, which we do not much expect of
them, there seems something wrong in these
estimates. To q person of only moderate
arithmetical requirements it does not ap-
pear probable that the democrats will carry
the State by seventy thousand and the re-
publicans by fifty thousand at the same elec-
ton. Governor Tilden and Governor Nor
gan are both astute politicians, and either
Of them could find hackers for his guesses
at an election return. But we Judge that
no prudent man would back both of them
this time. New York is IN uncertain State,
rs both General Dix and Governor Tilden
know. On the first Tuesday after the first
Monday in November either Governor Til
den or Governor Morgan will be found to
have prophesied rashly. One or the other is
bound to suffer somewhat severe disap-
pointment. We are glad to find both politi-
cal sides now SO confident. 1t makes
them happy, and it hurts nobody. After
while the people will decide. There is an
old saying that you can tell best about an
election after everybody has voted, and of
the truth of this the gentlemen at the demo-
cratic and republican headquarters will be
quite certain in few weeks. Meantime we
caution everybody against betting on tho
New York election. 1t is bad practice.
The better loses his vote, and, moreover, tho
result is very uncertain, if we may believe
California proverb, which says, 'You can't
tell unless you bet and then you may lose. :"

A LITTLE WHOLESOME PUBLICATION, as in
the case of the sewing machine company
that seized Bridget Barrys sewing machine
after she had paid the company about thrco
times the ccst Of the article, does good in o
variety of ways. First, it warns the Offend
ers that there is no profit in pursuing their
brutal and illegal course second, it points
out remedy to the next victim. The hear
ing of the case of Cecilia Jainaux before a
police court yesterday resulted in prompt
offer on the part of the company to return
the sewing machine which an agent had
seized.

CIrY Po1IrIcs are just now in q very cx-
cited condition. Those who have visited
menageric about the time when the keeper
rolls in his barrow Of meat and bones and
have heard the universal roaring and growl-
ing, paving and tail-lashing which forthwith
take place, can form q fair idea Of the state
in which our local politicians find them
selves. The conventions, with their nomina-
lions for tho "bones" of Office, arc looming
mp and the animals are bowling. Alas !
there are not bones enough to go round, and
some of the patriots must go hungry. This
fact gives extraordinary volume to the sound
proceeding from their ravening jaws. We
have had the sounds as far as practicable
reduced to writing in plain English and the
mass Of our citizens may find them else-'
where. We give in this connection list Of

Astonishment, not to say alarm. Our cable

most, of such improvements have been
wisely made to attract population and busi-
ness.
Mr.. Martin estimates the cost of the Har-
lem River improvement at from ten to
twenty millions and he alarmed us, until
we remembered that General Newton had
made an engineers estimate of the cost,
which we printed in February of last year.
His views contemplated the cutting of o
channel, three hundred and fifty feet wide,
through Harlem River and Spuyten Duyvil
Creek, giving depth of fifteen feet at low
water throughout, from the East River to
The New York herald., 1876-10-08


Thus less than three millions would give
us the actual fifteen foot channel, and that
is what we need. The rest, bridges, docks,
tunnels. &c, included in Mr.. Martins larger
estimate, could follow in time. Much of it
would be and ought to be done by private en-
terprise; the work necessary to be done by
the city could be put off until we could af-
ford the cost. What we need at once to at-
tract business and population thither, and
to relieve the overcrowded lower part of
the water front, can be got according to Cen
eral Newton for less than three millions.
We believe that this ought not to be delayed;
that the city government the Chamber of
Commerce and the merchants of New York
ought tospetition Congress in December to
grant at once such sum as is needed for the
governments part Of this improvement; and
that the work ought to be vigorously pushed.
New York needs more room, unless it means
to undertake an exclusively retail business.
