The Pro and Con OF Yachting.

Although many people ''go down to the sea
in ships" most people do not; fewer still ''go
down to the sea in yachts" Yet Mrs.
Grundy, with wild idea that yachtsman
is constituted Of equal proportions of leisure
and lucre, cries out "Why don't he go down
to the sea in his yacht2" There are reasons
why he shouldn't and there are reasons why
he should, and we propose to steer our course
while on each Of these tacks, discoursing as
we sail
We have acquired yacht and ship our
crew. sailing master, two mates, four
seamen, cook and steward. Drawing diff
ferent rates of pay, we find ourselves at the
very start under an expense of some three
hundred and sixty dollars per month for live
stock alone-live stock that from the very
alpha of our voyage must be uniformed and
ever after fed upon three square" meals a
day. AS for stores, you, Mrs. Grundy as an
old housekeeper, are quite as capable Of cast
ing up their cost as we are, giving, as point
of departure say four persons in the
cabin or parlor, and nine in the fore
castle, or kitchen, if you like the
word better When fairly out at sea it
comes on to blow. Spars are sprung or
carried away sails rent and rigging parted
small matters in themselves, but all item
lied in the bill for repairs which must be
encountered and paid for at the first port we
touch at Arrived at our winter cruising
ground (the West Indies, if you willy, fresh
pecuniary dangers rise up before us. 1t is
duty to ourselves and society not to try to
resist the attractions which invite us to the
shore. We drive, we dine and we dance with
the black-eyed daughters of the isles Next
day comes reciprocation. The ''fair women
and brave men" flock on board the yacht, with
tastes that seem to have suddenly been refined
by contact with superior civilization. Potent
punch yields the pas to imperial champagne,
and the pie of Perigord supplants the in
digenous pepper-pot. SO at port after
port the high-jinks go on, to the deplor-
able depletion Of our wine locker and the
diminution of our delicacies, until wearied
out with paying to the right of us and pay
ing to the left of us, we hoist anchor for
the last time, homeward bound.
Thus we have recited some of the reasons
why people as a rule do not care to Ego down
to the sea" in yachts. But putting our helm
hard down, let us get about on the other
tack, and inquire if there are not certain
pleasures TO be enjoyed and benefits gained
by an extended yacht voyage To find our
selves speeding over the dark blue waves
with o fair wind and q rolling sea is to drink
in great draughts Of health sparkling with

business, with his dull, daily grind at
the bread mill-to the man with nerves
and the hypochondriac- let up OF
this kind is Of inestimable benefit.
A life of perfect ease to mind and body and
a thorough freedom from the cankering care
Of shore existence, are the rule rather than
the exception Of the passing days. Charm
ing scenery, balmy breezes and moonlight
seas lend repose to mind and body, while an
acquaintance with new faces and strange
customs affords gentle stimulant that is as
enjoyable as it is beneficial. The foregoing,
then, are some of the reasons why people
should 'go down to the sea" in yachts We
have been led to the above remarks by
reperusal of those charming works, Lord
Dufferin's Letters from High Latitudes" and
South Sea Bubbles, by the Earl and
the Doctor" and, later still, of Mr.. W. p.
Talboys' little volume, which he has chosen
to christen "West India Pickles"

Mr.. Hale, of Maine, has introduced bill
in the House ito relieve certain ships and
vessels from compulsory pilot fees" This
apparently is not the battle against pilotage
in this harbor that has been waged from time
to time, with more or less spirit in the in
terest of the foreign steamship companies,
but the somewhat different battle in the in
terest of New England captains and owners
in the coasting trade. 1t is to be hoped that
this bill will not get through without the at
tentlve consideration of some member from
this city. Our harbor is very important
possession and must not become the sport of
reckless or over-confdent captains willing
TO take the chances" rather than pay the
fees. Such navigators may risk their ships !;
but the risk that they may fill up the chan
mel with their sunken ships is our concern,
not theirs. On the other hand, our harbor
should not be given over as a farm even to
the pilots, for this point Of heavy charges
often becomes a serious burden on commerce.
Will the captains who wish 10 be relieved of
compulsory pilotage give bonds TO remove
their ships within forty-eight hours by blast
ing or otherwise if they get them aground at
the edge of the channel?
The New York herald. [volume] (New York [N.Y.]) 1840-1920, 1876-01-08

As things stand now the heads of depart
ments hold from four to six years, and the
election of new Mayor makes no real change
in the city government because his subordi-
mates, by their longer tenures, are quite in
dependent of him. We approve of Senator
Bixby's bill so far as it makes all the
heads of departments come in and go out
with the Mayor under whom they serve.
Until their terms begin and end with that
of the Mayor this officer has no real power,
and is a mere fgurehead in the municipal
government. 1t may be deemed trivial to
have Mayor without power, but to have a
people without power is very grave matter.
When irremovable heads of departments hold
their offices for four or six years, while the
Mayor is elected for but two, it is evident
that the Mayor has no efficient authority,
and the people of the city none at all.
Senator Bixbys bill is an improvement not
only in prescribing spring elections but in
enabling the people of the city to make a
complete change of their rulers as often as
they 90 to the polls to vote on municipal
affairs.
There is another excellent point in Senator
Bixby's charter, as sketched by our Albany
correspondent We refer to its attempt to
simplify the city government by CONSOLE
dating departments, reducing the number of
commissioners, and giving more symmetry
to the municipal administration. He may
have erred in details, but the general idea
of reducing the number of departments and
officers is excellent. This subject will be
worth discussing in detail when Senator
Bixby shall have matured and presented his
bill
We doubt whether he is right in the divis-
ion of responsibility contemplated by his
plan of charter He would have the
Comptroller and Corporation Counsel
elected by the people, and independent
of the Mayor. Such division of respon-
sibility is against the recent tendency
of public sentiment which inclines to make
the Mayor responsible for every part of the
city administration, and to clothe him with
corresponding power. AS the President APP
points the members of his Cabinet and is
held responsible for their conduct in Office,
so it is believed that the Mayor of great
city should appoint his subordinates and be
responsible for their official fidelity. We
forbear extended comment on this part of
Senator Bixby's bill until we have an oppor-
tunity to see it in its finished shape. If it be
not good bill it has good points. We in
cline to regard it with favor because it recog-
nizes the Importance of early action, without
awaiting the report of Governor Tilden's pro-
crastinating commission.

~NcA ana tho " lke0 SpocA
1t is tolerably certain the German ImpA eial
chancellor will never be found wantingA
the proper word for every occasion. In the
moment OF victory he folds his arms, laughs
and says ;-''I told you so !" in the moment
OF defeat ne says to the victors beware 1"
There Is so much earnestness and so much
ruse, SO much firmness and SO little scruple
about him, that people have come to Judge
him in bulk rather than in de-
tail Hence when we find him. fresh
from his defeat at the hands of the
liberals in the Reichstag, calling up
the spectre rouge to brighten them back into
propriety, we are in doubt whether to be-
heve his story or to look on it as that of one
who cries ''Wolf! wolf" t o make the liberal
shepherds keep sharper watch. The strong
repressive measures which he wanted the
Reichstag to place in his hand by passing
his Revised Penal Code bill were rejected by
the vote of the liberals, who have always
acted with him since the proclamation of the
Empire, and now he whispers in the ear of
a liberal Deputy that the social democracy
has of late made enormous progress in Ger
many; that the next general election will
startle the upholders of law and order and
that the respectable classes will in a few years
on their knees beg sterner legislation than
that which he had recommended and the
liberals had defeated. We know that tart
word Of unmoved faith in the hour of defeat
often has the effect Of making the victor
pause in momentary doubt, and it satisfies
self-esteem in any case; for have we not
seen President Grant morosely confident in
his ST. Domingo scheme when it had been
defeated by the Senate amid the scorn of the
whole people? But if Socialism or Commun-
ism is the rising danger to the German En-
pire-and the relaxation of the persecution
of the usually conservative Catholic clergy
up-does it not preach another los
son altogether? Does it not show that
this mighty iron war machine which grinds
the people in taxes on purse and life is
crushing out patriotism by process of reac-
ton Repressive legislation to hold the
people down within the Empire, while they
pay in blood and money for the great armies
that awe its foes without, will not stand the
test of the nineteenth century for long.
These measures may be necessary to pre-
serve the Empire as Bismarck has shaped it,
but it will be happy for Germany if this
great power is perfected on another plan,
one which will be cheaper to carry on.
and with greater liberty instead of less to the
people.

wendell Phillips as n coop

Mr.. Phillips once wanted to appoint oil
the federal generals, and thereby put down
the late rebellion. The country, however,
refused to set Mr. Phillips up as an elocu-
tionary West Point Now he wishes to be
Bostons Chief of Police so that he may close
the grogshops within twenty-four hours.
We hope that Boston, which loves to erect
monuments and statues, will clothe Mr.
Phillips with peripatetic blue, streak his
pigeon breast with two rows ofbrass buttons,
and, cooking the straight peak Of his cap
over his left eye, send him, club in hand, to
spill much grog, which, like a little learning,
makes the Athenians mad. The late Humpty
Dumpty made good policeman, and Mile
Dejazet in breaches personated Napoleon.
Shall Mr.. Phillips not be 'cop" for q short
twenty-four hours? If he succeed he may be
able to find Charley Ross, Boss Tweed and
the author Of Beautiful Snow" If he fails
he might be brought to New York, where
failure is essential for the police. In time,
no doubt, he might wear white cotton gloves,
strut Broadway and hand gentle ladies over
the mud He would soon become living

The Sublime Porte OF n Sovereign In
Distress.

From Constantinople we learn that the
Grand Vizier, having received the project for
reform in Turkey agreed upon by the great
Powers, informed the messenger that his
Majesty the Sultan did not care to have his
kingdom reformed by his neighbors just
now, and would undertake for himself all
the reform he cared to have. Such is the
calm reply of his Asiatic Majesty to the
grand inquest at Vienna This is very much
as if one Of the gentlemen at the Morgue
should give his compliments to the Coroner
and inform that functionary that he did not
care to be ''sot on" just at present, and
would like to be left to the tranquil enjoy
ment of his marble table Between the
Powers interested in the future of that por-
ton of Europe now included within the linn
its of the Ottoman Empire it was agreed that
the Austrian Ministry should draw up
the programme of reforms to be
required of the Turkish government in the
interest of the Christian subjects of the Sui
tan. This programme demands the aboli-
ton of serfdom; the equality before the law
of all religious denominations; provincial
and communal self-government including
local authority over taxation. Before it was
sent to Vienna, this programme was sub
mitted to the St Petersburg governmentand
approved. 1t therefore has behind it the
combined authority of the Austrian and
Russian governments 1t is submitted to
the Sultan as diplomatic Intervention, the
acceptance of which will prevent the armed
occupation of his territory by Austrian troops.
That he has treated it therefore in the way
indicated in the telegram from CONSTANT
nople seems scarcely credible Either the
despatch is erroneous in the important point,
or the Sultan has concluded that he would
prefer the occupation of his border land by
foreign troops to quasi abdication of his
sovereignty for the whole Empire
