The Park Bank DefaIca ton.

The defalcation by the Park Bank teller
is only another instance OF bank clerks
final yielding TO temptation after having
for years lived amid great and peculiar
opportunities for theft. No young man
should be so placed by his employers that
he is surrounded by easy chances to steal,
and is daily beset by enticements TO pos
sible peculation. Though the clerk should
be the stronger against the temptation be-
cause of the very proof TO which he is put
and the greatness of the trust confided in
him. yet experience shows that even men
OF ordinary integrity VIII at times yield
under such circumstances.
clerk who has the handling Of money
should he surrounded by checks which
leave few, IL any, chances for him 20 mis-
appropriate it. With such protection
against temptation the honestest man can
find no fault, and the weak man abso-
lutely needs il. 1t r., indeed, sin to put
in the path of clerk on moderate sal
airy opportunities for embezzlenent and
temptations to wicked greed, for in due
time he may stumble. The best way to
prevent thefts by employees intrusted
with the receiving of large sums OF money
is to so hedge them about with restrictions
that theft is next to impossible without
immediate discovery. The severer the
scrutiny, the sharper the espionage, the
safer the man of iugrained honesty against
suspicion, and the greater the protection
OF the man OF weaker principle against the
temptation to steal.
Though in the case OF the particular
bank-the Park Bank-whch suffers by
this defalcatlOn we know of no reason to
make the remark, yet i'm others of our
institutions of trust not only the clerks
hut also the directors and high officers
need adequate checks against the misap-
preparation of the money committed TO
their charge. The Park Bank teller Eli
LIS, will probably be caught and atone fUI
his crime Mt Sing Sing; but We wish he
could meet there certain of the managers
of savings banks who have detrauded
the poor of their savings, and who yet
walk abroad safe from the punishment OF
the law.
The loss of $4,000 is q small one TO the
great PARK Bank. No one will suffer
hardship by reason OF the theft except the
thief himself. But the men who have
ruined the savings banks ut whose doors
the poor now crowd TO get paltry and
long-dolayed dividend on their deposits,
and who, through folly, reckessness, OF
Tor personal gain, have wasted what was
intrusted To them, have defIauded the
| laborer, abused confidence, impaired the
popular feeling of security in IA most bench
cent institution, and committed far
more serious crime than that OF the de-
faulting teller.
ELLIS of course deserves his punishm ent
though he should not have been suffered
TO stand in a place OF such temptation; but
these iailhless or needless trustees should
also receive punishment Tor their crimes
OF shortcomings. II the law fails to rem

Gov. Tilden on the Rebel War Claims,

Let everybody read the convincing let
ter of Gov. TILDEN concerning the bug
bear of Southern war claims in to-day's
SUN Calmly aud with invincible logic
he effectually disposes of this spectre
raised by Republicans to frighten timid
and thoughtless Northern voters.
He promises in clear and explicit Ian
guage that II elected SO far US de-
ponds on him, no rebel losses shall be REQ
oguized or paid, whether covered by the
Fourteenth Amendment or not, that the
cotton tax shall not be refunded, and
that he will veto every bill providing
for the assumption or payment Of such
debts, claims, or losses. Gov. TILDEN
could not use stronger language than he
does In this letter or more effectually
sweep away the bugbear manufactured by
demsgogues.
His most interesting point Is that the
danger to the Treasury Is not from rebel
claims, but from those Of real or pretend
ed loyal men I'm the South during the war
These claims are great in number and enor-
nous in their aggregate amount. They
are also tainted with fraud, and a tireless
lobby has long been using all its corrupt
arts to get them paid. The Republican Rings
are interested in them, and with Re
publican President we might safely expect
10 see them draw many millions from the
Treasury on fraudulent representations
and against law and precedent. Mr.. TIL
DEN would defeat this conspiracy, and iu-
stead Of the allowances of war claims in
creasing under his Administration his
jealous scrutiny of the claims would great
ly decrease the inroads on the Treasury.
The letter of Gov. TILDKN is sound and
