"EnPRESS OF INDIA.

The ROYAL Titles bill has aso passed its
second reading in the House Of Lords, and
there Is now no moral power in Great Britain
to stay the final enactment of the measure.
The sober second thought of the English
people has been stimulated TO consider the
subject mt too late an hour to make their in
creasing opposition available. Although they
are beginning to sec clearly that the title of
Empress of India" instead of comforting
upon the Queen any real accession Of dignity
disparages the simple Royalty Of her crown !;
although this cercmonious recognition of the
Indian Empire suggests slight to the far more
important Colonies, where men Of English
blood are no laying the truer foundation of
future nations although there is no other
valid occasion for tho additional title than the
late extravagant and somewhat fantastic jour
ney of the Prince Of Walcs,-thc sentiment of
personal loyalty to the Queen, always potent
in England, has been SO skillfully manipulated
that the result is fixed. All the opposition
now proposes is an appeal to Her Majesty,
praying her not to lessen the simple luser of
that noun by assuming the permitted adjective.
TO impartial eyes, tho whole matter looks
very much like an awkward diplomatic move
of Russia in Central Asia. Our English cousins
will permit us to turn our heads aside and
courtcously conceal smile, as we balance the
gains of the two great Powers. On the one
side tho annexation of KhOkand and an actual
if not ayowcd authority extending to the
passes of the Iiimalayas; on tho other, the
Prince of Wales riding on glded elephant. and
Queen Victoria walking behind the peacock
feather fabe}la of the Great Moguls, on Occa-
siOns of State! Many correspondents Of the
London journals are asking, with great pro-
priety, why the other: and equally important
realms of the British Crown should not re-
ceve n similar acknowledgment. Why not,
indcedi And if the character of the title
were determined, as in this case, by that of
the previous rulers of the dominions and
colonies, there would bo q vast increase in the
plcturesqucness, il not the awe, of the spanglcd
pendants to the royal and imperial name
Chieftainess of Canada" would be next in
order and "Cacique of the Antilles would
harmonic delightfully."- with "Head MaOri of
"New-Zealand" and "COrobbory" (or what
ever may.b be the proper term) "of Australia"
Even as the martial strains of England follow
the sun and keep company with the hours. 80
the titles of Englands monarchs would thus
follow the march of her colonization and keep
company with the dignitics of the tribes it
displaces
The most unpretentious substitute yet sug-
gested in England is, "Queen of Great Brit
cain. Ireland, and the English Beyond Seas
Unfortunately the adoption of this title will
not relieve the Royal Family of private
grievance the existence of which is perhaps a
more important motor in bringing about the
introduction of the bill than the rivalry with

TRUSTEES.

Mr.. William A. Darling has published n
defense of his conduct in connection with the
Third Avenue Savings Bank. He declares that
he knew nothing of any improper or dishonest
transactions by the officers of the bank while
he was trustee; and rs for the Annual Report
signed by him as Secretary pro tenn. Ill 1871,
and now alleged to have been false If not
fraudulent, he says that it was prepared by
tho Actuary, and was signed in good faith.
We presume that Mr.. Darling's account OF the
affair is correct. We know of no reason to
charge him with fraud, or with a guilty knowl-
edge of the mlsmanagcmcnt by those who took
a more active part in the business than he
did, and we certainly shall not make haste to
suspect him OF wrong while 1T Is possible to
believe him innocent
From his letter. however, Mr.. Darling seems
to have committed a fault which is unfor-
tunately too common. He accepted trustee
ship, and took no proper pains to execute
the trust During portion of the
"year 1865, and most of tho years
"Is6G-7,r he says, 81 could not give
"much attention to the affairs of the
"bank, by reason of my absence III Washing
" ton rs a representative i'll the AAAlAth
" Congress, ana COnnncilcnt 10 my houSc ny
" serious illncss.n Ii was during this period
that the loans were made which ultimately
led to the fiiluro of the bank. Afterward, 1t
is fair to assume indeed Mr.. Darlings letter
virtually asks Us to assume, that he gave but
"A superficial attention to the business, and so,
when he signed the Report. although he
believed it to be a correct exhibition of the
condition of the institution, he really did not
know whether il was or not.
Now the dcpositOrs placed their money In
the bank in the understanding that Mr.. Oar
ling and the other trustees associated with
him would supervise its management and pro-
tect their interests. When the trustees ac-
ccptcd Office they bound themselves i'll honor
to do that, and when they neglected their
trust, to run for Congress, or to take care OF
their private affairs, they were guilty of u
breach of trust. Mr.. Darling of course only
did what hundreds of others do every day,
without thought that they are doing wrong.
But if the standard o. business morality were
~ high as it ought To be, gentlemen whose
names are now used for bait would realize
that they have no right to accept Il trust un-
less they are prepared to discharge the obi
cations it involves.

Russia or the Princes Indian journey. 1t is
included, indeed, in the former of these, but,
for obvious reasons, has not been openly stated.
Every one familiar with Courts is aware that
"Imperal Majesty" has certain inalienable
prerogatives superior to those of plaiP MAJ
"esty;" and the pride of the loyal English
man has always been fattered, hitherto, by
having the higher consideration accorded to
the lower title, in the case of his own land.
The courtesy of Courts, however, sometimes
comes in conflict with the Individual claims OF
members of the reigning families. Such con-
tlict, between Her Royal Highness the Princess
Beatrice and Her Imperial Highness the
Duchess of Edinburgh, took place soon after
the latter's marriage, and 1t required special
Journey of Alexander III. to London, before
his daughter was relieved from looking at the
back chair of her sister-in-law But now the
Princess Beatrice, as she cOntcmplates the blonde
chignon of the " Imperial" Ilighness, murmurs
to herself in ecstasy yet few more days, and
"thee the all-behoding sun shall see RELOCATED
"to thy proper place by the Royal Titles
"bllr' 1t is the young feminine blood OF
Brunswick against that of the Romanoffs. The
intermediate links between the cause and
effect are only two-the Queen and Dlsraell-
and the process of development may be I'M
raycled by the dullcst imagination.
The history of the bill shows that large
portion of the people of England were at first
fattered by the tinkling sound of the new
title. They have very slowly become awake
to all which it indirectly implies including an
actual sacrifice of simplicity and dignity. The
words "Our Queen" have still potency in
English ears; but "Our Empress" even though
the use of the title were limited to India,
would make an honest soldier first laugh, then
blush. 1t is n pity that the inherent manliness
and good sense of the nation should not have
sooner pierced through its surface crust OF
tunkyism. and arrested a measure against
which after protests, 10 matter by whom urged
or how widely supported, will in all proba-
bility be useless.

TILE DIE OF EiSTER.

A great many excellent people here and III
England have been much pcrturbcd respecting
the date of Easter Sunday in the present year.
They have been brought up in u belief that it
is to be ascertancd by u simple little rule that
connects it with the first full moon after the
vernal equinox. Tried by this rule the date
should bc April o; but tho almanacs say that
April tG Is Easter day. Now this is really a
serious matter, if tradtiOnary beliefs are to go
for nothing and Easter day, Lent, and all the
movable fcaSts Of the church can be showed
ahead whole week at the will of the almanac
makers. On another page we give q somewhat
elaborate review of tho subject, from which it
will he evident that great deal can be said
on both sides, even at this late day, notwith-
standing the decision of the Council of Nice in
the fourth century, and the reformation of the
calendar in the sixteenth.
Tho fact is that the popular methods of find
ing Easter day are something like the magic
balls in the Der Freischitz legend sixty times
they hit, thrice they 20 astray. There are
rules which arc accurate, but they are too cum
brous to DO carried in the memory of any ex-
cept matheInaticians. The good fathers of the
Church who contryed the Prayer Book tables
dld excellent service, anu III Is Scafcciy WOrtn
while to go behind their work. Their tables
yield April 16 ~ tho date of next Easter Sun
day to any one who will take the trouble to
study out "Domincal letters and golden
numbers" A wise Frenchman did, indeed
draw up a simpler scheme Of tables and urged
it's adoption on the Church. This table was
founded on the full moons, rs il the popular
rule. But the scheme of Pere Melton found
little favor with the Church; and as for as
tronomers, they declared that no new plan was
good for anything till somebody would declare
where on earth the moon was to be observed
We can therefore assure people who are dis
satisfied with their Prayer Books that they are
not likely to do better elsewhere. If, however
they want to go to the bottom of the Easter
controversy, to get q full comprehension of all
the dispu ed points, and to understand more
exactly than is Indicated on our t!lrd page, why
the 10th aud not the 9th of April is in this year
tie date of the festival, we ~ ould recommend
such inquirers to begin the study of the sub
ject early in life, and not to hope for time to

PARTIES AND PUBLIC CONFIDENCE.


The Democrats are surprised and angry be-
cause exposures of corruption do not result to
their advantage. lll-naturcd remarks implying
that all Republican and independent voters
are willing to tolerate or shield corruption
begin to appear in Democratic journals. Possibly
party, hungry for power, can win by I'M
pugning the motives and denying the honesty
of the majority of voters, but we doubt it,
The more Democrats insist that all who are
not willing to trust them must be in sympathy
if not in league with robbery, the more the
voters are likely to resent and spurn the i'm
putatiOn. Democratic vexation is quite natural
but not at all profitable. There is an obvious
and sufficient reason for the refusal of public
confidence-a reason which it would be wise
for Democrats to consider dispassiOnate!Y. The
people know that the corruption which dis
graces the country is the effect of system Of
persOnalism and partisanship in the public
service. They know that they do not desire
the prevalence of fraud. have no sympathy
with corruption, and do not intend to
shield it In any way. But they wait,
and very properly wait, for evidence that
either party is willing to abolish the
demOraliziny system which causes cOrrup-
ton. The people are not destitute of
common sense. They understand that the
greatest rascal would be swift to expose the
frauds of somebody else, if he could thereby
get the opportunity to enrich himself by fraud.
Violent virtue in the outs is no sign Of i'm

He has told long, elaborate and complicated story
which is consistent in all its parts, but for which at
the time there was no corroborativs evidence
whatever. Since then several important
and startling parts of 1t have been dis
tinctly corrobOrated from separate and unexpected
sources. Thus Prof. Silliman undertook To contra
dict him but has been badly impalod on his
own dispatch. Gen. Schenck denied Lyons story
that Xxx had written his letter of resignation
for HIM; when promptly comes telegram
from the Emma shareholders in London, offering
to produce the letter in Parks handwriting. On the
whole then up TO this time, the presumption isstrong-
ly in favor of LyOns trutlfulness. We wish We
could say as much for Gen. Schencks candor. But
what is to be thought of lis petty evasion the other
dayi When confronted by McDougalls telegram
about the proof OF Schenck's having ordered Cheese
borough to sell 900 shares he denied ha he scntany
such telegram. True, General; why should you when
Cheseborough was with you in Paris at the tmei
But in point of fact did not Cheseborough promptly
90 back and make the sale for youf BE frank
General, whatever happens. That was once your
strong point!
We believe that New-York is to be congratulated
not less sincerely than Brooklyn upon the prospect
for a vigorous revival of work the East River
Bridge That is narrow idea of she means for pro-
among them plans for making it difficult for people
to get ont Of il. The better methods OF
egress and ingess we have the better
will it be for US in the long
run. The contrary theory would make the neigh
borhood Of pleasant suburbs positive injury; and
when people absurd enough to believe that they
are just about absurd enough 10 continue the foolish
fight against the Brooklyn Bridge. We hope to see
it speedily completed and rejoice heartily at the
ton of tho Board of Aldermen in obedience to the
law requiring the issue of two and two-thirds mill
ions of bonds for the work.
