there il an illustration at hand in the
vintages, which recent French papers an
nounce as just begun in several districts.
Here is case in which the people permit
the authorities to tell them when they shall
gather their own fruit. Men are not at
liberty to gather the harvests of their own
fields at a time when, in their Judgment,
they may be fittest to gather. This was en-
ancient feudal regulation, and has persisted
until this time, having lost but little of its
force. 1t should not, therefore, be held that
there is no conservative spirit in the French
people.

Liability or Directors.

The principles of the relation of director
to the company for which he acts are. as
presented in the judicial decision cited in
support Of the steps taken in the case of the
Michigan Central Railroad, as simple as
those of master and servant or merchant and
clerk. If servant spends on himself the
money with which he has been intrusted
that it might be used to purchase some arti-
Gle for his employer, or if he sells valuable
property for a small sum to confederate,
that the two may divide between them the
larger sum the property will bring when sold
again, in both these cases the servant is grossly
dishonest and is amenable to justice and
the essential principles of the case are not
altered when this servant is called a director
and the employer is called q railway COM
pany. If there is any difference in the
change it is rather in favor Of justice for
the law is able to reach the great breaches Of
faith more easily than the small ones The
remedy is satisfactory, for the dishonest
director may be held responsible in his own
property, and the law will declare void the
contracts he has illegally made. This latter
part of the remedy, if applied, will prove
better than penalty it will be preven-
tive for the parties who may lose by the
reputation of such contracts will only
make them after thorough discrimination,
and this will prove an effective impediment
to dishonest operations.

Tn. joint Canvas. I'm North o.reli...

Whichever party carries North Carolina
the people will have been benefited and in
structed by the speeches of the two candi-
dates for Governor, Judge Settle and ex-
Governor Vance, who, in the true and good
old American fashion, have been travelling
together through the State and jointly dis
cussing the questions of the day. Lately the
two candidates for the Lieutenant Governor
ship have begun to do the same thing. 1t is
a pity that this plan of appealing to and in
structing the people on political subjects is
diving out. There is no doubt that it is the
best 1t calls together the citizens of both
parties and gives each side an opportunity
to hear what the other has to say. 1t pre-
vents misrepresentation and compels
fair statements; for whatever is said by the
speaker of either side is listened to by his
opponent, who replies ut once and to the
same audience. 1t trains the people to
hear both sides in orderly silence and ap-
peals to their reason and not to their preju-
dices or ignorance. 1t brings out the issues
of the day clearly and enables the voters to
decide without prejudice to whom they will
intrust political power. The other day,
at Smithfeld, in North Carolina, nearly
three thousand persons gathered to listen to
Messrs. Vance and Settle, and the two parties
being very evenly balanced in number,
there was great enthusiasm and perfect or
der. How much better this is than for each
party to hold its meetings separately and for
party speakers to address only or mainly
those who already believe with them!

Labor and Liberty i'm Franco,

The Congress of Workingmen recently held
in Paris was an important fact and an i'm
portant evidence that the liberation of ex-
treme opinions has already made great prog
ress there and that the government feels
conscious strength which has boen very rare
with governments in that country. These
worlxingmen, though they shout for re-
public, are not very ardent admirers of the
existing Republic, which guarantees them
freedom enough to meet and exchange opin-
orations any government in France with
such faith in its hold on the country
that it would tolerate O convention
Of agitators who were not its admirers
and whose opinions are known to be
that the only satisfactory republic is
the Red Republic. That such q convention
can now quietly assemble in Paris within
five years of the exploits of the Commune is
an evidence of great progress toward the
conception Of fair play for parties. 1t is one
Of the remarkable facts in the history of
French politics that the workingmen the
mechancs-ha commonly believed that
they were the nation; and their opinion has
been accepted in this particular, for an in
tolerance of the pressure of authority which
is peculiar to them has passed for a
characteristics of the whole people. This
trait is not possessed by the rural
Frenchmen, apparently-a fact Of which

Indiana tended to weaken the republicans
more than the democrats. The rag money
democrats were tolerably well satisfied with
the regular democratic platform and ticket
platform which demanded the repeal of
the Resumption act and ticket which in
cluded the name of Governor Hendricks. The
third party movement in Indiana was re-
garded as o trap to catch the soft money
republicans. Wolcott's withdrawal, coupled
with a recommendation to 60 over to the re-
publicans, spoils a very pretty game. 1t is
as yet uncertain whether the greenback
certain is that the Topping over of Wolcott
on the eve Of the election furnishes the re-
publican soft money men a pretext, if they
wanted one for going back into the ranks of
their own party. If the greenback organi-
zation should disband and disperse in con-
sequence of Mr.. Wolcott's desertion the re-
publican chances in Indiana will be ma
terially improved If they should carry
that State and carry Ohio too, the moral
effect Of the double victory would prob
ably strand the democratic party in Novem-
Der.
And yet q great deal will depend on the
magnitude of the majorities. If the repub-
icans barely escape defeat ''by the skin Of
their teeth;" if they carry these States by
such slight majorities that they have but
little to crow over, the democrats will not be
utterly discouraged. When they nominated
Mr.. Tilden they made up their minds to
throw away Ohio, and they confessed that
they thought Indiana doubtful when they
made their ticket incongruous by giving
Governor Hendricks the second place. Let
Indiana 60 as it will, they will make deter
mined effort to save New York But their
verse Of promising if they lose Indiana, and
not particularly bright if they should carry
it by majority SO insignificant as to show
that they had barely escaped thrashing.

York. We therefore repeat our advice to the
democratic factions in this city to harmonize
their differences and make "a pull oil to-
gether' to save the State in the national can
vaSS.
The table which we printed few days
since, grouping together in three sepa-
rate lists the sure democratic States,
the sure republican States, and the
doubtful States which each party might
hope to carry by strenuous effort, aided by
favorable circumstances, will deserve care
ful study after the returns shall have come
in from to-morrow's elections. That table
made it apparent that neither party could
expect to succeed without the vote Of New
York. But if Ohio and Indiana should both
go republican it will be more emphatically
true that all the hopes and prospects of ONE
Of the two parties are staked on New York.
In any event, let to-morrow's elections 60 rs
they may, the one certain thing is that un-
less Mr.. Tilden can carry his own State he
will have reason to curse the day on which
he was made Presidential candidate.

MALARIAL FEVER at the Centennial is
something whose presence is undeniable.
We think, in view Of the facts which have
come to light, that 1t would be much more
becoming in the Centennial managers and
Philadelphia editors to- give tho my
riads Of visitors little plain ad-
vice as to how they may best escape the
Centennial sickness than to denounce rs
they do all who tell the truth about the
matter. We advise the visitors from other
cities to avoid drinking water in Phil lei
phia that has no. been boiled, or if they
drink cold water to mix little wine or
spirits with it, not 10 go to the Exhibition
very early in the day or remain very late,

THE QUESTION OF THE DAY-"How will
Ohio and Indiana go?' The politicians of
each party appear to be equally sure, but it
is probable that they are equally alarmed.
Republicans and democrats are like the
Chinaman and the African who met in the
streets of London. Cuffee had never seen
John Chinaman, and the Heather Chinee
had never seen Cuffee, and they glared at
each other in fear. each supposing the other
to be the devil. 1t is very much in this ter
rifed state of mind that the politicians are
gazing at each other now.

TH1 ELECTION IN GEORGIA demonstrates
that there is not much danger of war of

contrast to unhappy South Carolina. The

cratic ticket by thousands, and no violation

SOMETIMES the little politician Of to-day is
she big leader of the day after tomorrow.
Sometimes the little politician will tell more
Of the workings of parties as far as he is
concerned in them than the man in the big
office will or can tell. The series of inter-
views we print to-day with number of our
minor statesmen will on these and other
grounds be found worth study.

MARErxD WOMEN AS TEACHERS. n
woman is married should she be permitted
to teach in the public schools? That is
tho educational question which has been
raised. We do not believe that marriage
should be put under q social ban, but we
yield to our contributors some space
for their opinions on this important
subject. There is no reason why
brand, stigma, should be placed
upon marriage. If married lady is
unable to teach school, dismiss her. But
the discrimination between one lady and
another must not be based upon marriage,
but upon personal fitness. We should not
have in our public schools any new Salic
law which disqualiies the maternal duty and
exalts tho celibate heresy, and we believe
that the Board Of Education will see the fall
lacy of such an absurd distinction.

SPIRITUALIsM is just now one Of the sensa-
tions of London, because Of the discussion
of DR.. Slade as n medium and his arrest
under the vagrant act. The general opinion
seems to be that he is skilful legcrdemain-
list; not as clever as Mr. Maskelyne, or
Hermann, Cazeneuve, Blitz or any of
the prestidigitateurs we know, but great
deal more presuming. The trouble with
Elade, as with all mediums of the kind, is
that he refuses to submit his revelations to
scientific tests, but always insists upon u
certain margin within which deception is
possible.

CUBA has during the last eight years been the
grave of the ambition of great many Spanish
war captains, as we'll as the grave of q great
many Spanish soldiers. Martinez Campos,
with blushing honors thick upon him from
the proclamation of young Alfonso and the
campaign against the Carlsts, is about to
undertake the task of smothering the
Cuban insurrection. Twenty-four thou
sand additional troops are going with
him. General Jovellar is to remain as
Captain General, while Campos will COM
mand the armies in the field. Here, then, is
a great chance for the latter. Spain in send
ing this General pledges her utmost endeavor
10 crush the rebellion. The arrival of Mar
tinez- -Campos in Cuba will give o renewed
interest to the brave struggle which the busy
world has been losing sight of for months
at time and only recalling when the cap
ture Of o town, the burning Of an estate or
the execution of stray rebel has caught the
eye in a brief despatch.

Russia and Turkey.

What diplomatists like the Russian and
Turkish Ministers to England say in
presence Of crisis like that at present in the
affairs of the Ottoman Empire must gener-
ally be carefully sifted to find the real pur-
pose which actuates their governments. Yet,
as everything they utter may be taken as
what their government is desirous to have
believed as its opinions, the inter
views which we publish elsewhere with
Musurus Pacha and Count Schouva-
loft are particularly interesting. We
can measure the strength Of Moslem
hate and gain shadowy outline of Rus
sian ambition in their utterances. 1t is not
singular that both should refer to the
Crimean war, but the lesson drawn from it
by each naturally conflicts with that of the
other. Turkey still believes in the possi-
bility of gaining allies in case Russia
should try the test of the battle field, as she
did in 1854 Russia does not think that
Turkey in 1876 can gain the same
support in Europe she did over twenty
years ago, and believes, into the
bargain, that the result to-day, even in
face Of a similar alliance against her, would
be vastly different. Turkey it is very GER
tain, has much less reason on her side than
Russia in this statement of the case. Russia
is better prepared to fight now than in Cri-
mean times. France may be counted out of
the fray, and that England will take up the
sword for the savage Moslem is at
least doubtful. One thing seems very
certain-namely, that Russia is deter
mined to give England no adequate reason
for going to war; If Count Schouvaloffs
declaration-that the most desirable out
come of the situation would be the erection
of an independent Christian State in Euro
pean Turkey-may be taken the aim of
the policy of Russia it is difficult to see on
what grounds England could object. That
such State would be more amenable to
Russian than to English influences is, of
course, highly probable; but England would
find it difficult to arouse any active hostility
in Europe to the plan on that ground alone.

explained, and after that they take up
the other returns. 1t examines the tes-

sufficient number Of voters from regis
tering to affect the result materially,
then and not otherwise shall the return

not fully satisfied, it is their duty to
examine further testimony. If then
they are satisfied that the purity and
freedom of the election were interfered
with, or Il sufficient number were pre-
vented from registering to change the
result materially, the returns must be
excluded. This is the law.
