LIKE CROMWELL.

Grants instructions to Gen. Sherman
oreshadow the complete military occu-
paney of the South, in the interest of
the Republican ticket. 1t is a specious
plea, however, for Grant to say, in extern
uation Of this movement; that he merely
intends to provide for fair elections.
History states that Cromwell claimed
be used the army OF England for the
best of purposes, yet he soon unfolded
the desperate intrigues of base usur-
per. Napoleon said he unified France
in the interests Of French freedom. Yet
his grand army enthroned him as EN-
perOr. 1t is popular to Aaunt the ban
ner of pretended justice and equality;
yet at the same time the dangerous de-
signs Of a tyrant may be the source OF
all this show
Boutwell, and Cameron are determined
20 prolong Republican rule in this coun
try, if thereby they have to re-enact the
military conquest of the South. These
unscrupulous leaders assert that Demo
cratic aseendanoy is but another name
for ecession-revolutIon They and
Grant are deceiving the country. To
be forewarned is to be fOrearmed. The
North is dancing on a loom that may
weave for 1t a shroud, In common with
th e whole country. That section, bent
upon still further humilisting the South,
IS pushing on to extreme measures, that

nothing to prevent Gen. Grant from cleo

point out the lesson of these election
figures They speak for themselves The
republican leaders have by their miscon-
duct forfeited the confidence of the great
mass of Independent voters in the Northern
States. They have need to be careful. 1t is
extremely unwise in them to give their coun-
tenance to the suspicious actions of the
men who control republican politics in the
three disputed States. The people are very
patient, but they are not dull they
will not forget what is now happening in
those States, nor that the Northern repub-
lican leaders are to-day supporting as their
allies the corrupt politicians of those States,
and supporting them in acts which offend
thepublic sense of justice and propriety, and
expose the count of the votes to just sus-
picion of fraud. If that which is now
going on in those States with the counte-
nance of the republican leaders could have
been foreseen by Northern voters there is
not the least doubt that there would have
been an immense and overwhelming repub-
lican vote cast for Mr.. Tilden /; for the
American people do not tolerate the pre-
dominance Of disreputable and vicious ele-
ments in national politics. They never have
and they will not in the future. If the repub-
lican leaders hope for future they must
take care now that the count in the disputed
States, in the hands of their own partisans, is
SO conducted as to satisfy the country of its
absolute fairness and honesty. If they do
less than this, though they may count in
their candidate, they will prepare for them
selves disgraceful and overwhelming de-
feat at the next election.

The state Finances.

Our Albany correspondence gives some
interesting details from the forthcoming
report of Comptroller Robinson. 1t appears
that the State debt has been reduced during
the year ending September 30 over five mill
ion dollars that instead Of the usual de-
fciency there is q surplus in the General
Revenue Fund Of seven hundred thousand
dollars; that the one-third of a mill
tax of last year for the extinguishment
of the bounty debt, due next April,
will, with the moneys already in hand for
that purpose, really clear off that part of the
debt while contingent debt of one hun
dred thousand dollars will also be paid OF
this year.
This is an admirable financial exhibit,
and we shall look With interest for Governor
Robinsons inaugural message, in which he
will doubtless make important and sensible
suggestions concerning the State finances.
The prisons of the State have this year ex.
pended seven hundred thousand dollars
more than ever beforehand of course the
deficiency is also larger than in other years.
The passage ofthe constitutional amendment
will doubtless stop that great leak The
public buildings have also cost good deal
one and three-quarter millions during the
year-but that was expected by everybody
who knows how difficult it is even for pri.
vate individuals to control the outlay il q

finances seem to be prosperous. We wish

Tho city Expenses for Next Year


The Aldermen have completed their re-
vision Of the city estimates for next year,
and have increased the total amount one
million and seventy-fve thousand dollars
over the sum fixed by the Board Of Appor-
tionment. The principal additions have
been made in the Departments of Public
Parks and Police, the Street Cleaning
Bureau and the Board of Education. The
Park Department received nearly six hun
dred thousand dollars in 1875, and the ap-
preparation which was honestly expended
was not found any too large. Last year q
reduction was made to four hundred and
ninety-five thousand dollars, and this in
sufficient appropriation produced the diff
Guilty under which the department has
labored and endangered the proper care and
through economy on the part of the Commits
sioners. enough was saved from special
appropriations to supply the deficiency in
the maintenance fund. This year the Board
of Apportionment for some reason or other,
again reduced the appropriation to the
utterly inadequate sum OF three hundred
and eighty-four thousand dollars for 1877,
which would leave the department crippled
long before the close of the year. The
Aldermen have very properly increased the
estimate, and the Board of Apportionment
will no doubt admit the necessity Of the in
crease. The Street Cleaning Bureau amount
is raised, because there will be unavoidable
extra expenses entailed on the bureau next
year which will require larger expendi-
ture The estimate as fixed by the Alder
men is, however, onlya trife higher than in
1874. and the work, which was then notori-
ously neglected, is now we'll done. The ap-
preparation for the Public Works Depart
ment is increased about twenty-three
thousand dollars, but the increase is made
in the item Of supplies, pay of janitors, &C.,
when it might have been more properly
given to the repairs and renewal of pave
ments.
The city expenses are too high, but
neither the Board Of Apportionment nor the
Aldermen touch the true source Of extrava-
gance. The departments employ too many
people. A private business could be con-
Quoted quite as we'll with one-half the num-
bcr. Useless commissioners should be dis
pensed with; clerks and other employees
who are not needed should be made to earn
living outside and not be pensioned on
the city treasury the machinery of the gov
ernment should be simplifed 80 as to abol
ish a number Of departments and bureaus
which are about as useful as fifth wheels
would be to coaches. These are the leak
ages that should be stopped. The people

Mr.. Stanley and tho Philanthropists.

Mr.. Stanley and the Philnnthropists.
An attempt was made at the last meeting
in London of the Royal Geographical So
ciety to induce that body to pass resolu-
ton of censure on Mr.. Henry M. Stanley
for his so-called ''unjustifable method Of
dealing with the natives of Africa" But
the society refused in q very practical way
to make itself the tool of the persons who
engineer this clamor. II may be remem-
bered that the grievance against Mr..
Stanley is that on one occasion when
he deemed himself in danger from the hos
tile purposes of the savages he defended
himself, and as his arms were more effective
than those of the Africans they suffered Sc
yerely 1t is the opinion of some people in
London that the number Of negroes killed
on that occasion by the explorer was unnec-
essarily large. This may be true; but, as
we have hitherto taken occasion to
observe, Mr.. Stanley was on the spot
and his London critics were not;
and the white man on the spot is the
only competent judge of the exigencies of
such On OCCASION II is not to be assumed
that he was more bloody in his acts than the
occasion required. 1t appears that the Coun-
Gil of the Geographical Society judged the
case in this light. and was determined not
to be carried out of its way to cast odium
upon a traveller who cannot defend himself.
Lord Napier of Magdala. Captain Cameron,
and some others who have made excursions
in Africa, were present and gave counte-
nance to this act ofjustice to the holder OF
ono Of the society's gold medals.
