feet on the smaller body of dynamite was pro-
duced 1t remained to be exploded by more
direct means last Saturday.
The object of this smaller work is to re-
duce the surface of FryingPan Rock. The
need for this reduction is quite as imperative,
if large vessels are to take the Sound passage,
as was the work at Haletts Point. All three
of the paths through Hell Gate-the Eastern,
the Middle, and the Main Ship Chan
mel - converge near the FIying-Pan; /;
there is only nine feet of water
over it at low tide. Pilots steering large ves-
sells between it and Halletts Reef have fire.
quently called to mind the adage that COM
pares the frying-pan and the fire. Gen. New
ton uses excellent judgment in beginning work
on this rock promptly. This reduced, the
dangers of He'll Gate will be materially
diminished. Next, it is said, Flood Rock
will be attacked. That obstruction, being
visible at low water, seems to even
transient observer to be very much IN
the way. II is nearly on a line from the ex-
tremity of Halett's Point to the foot of Nine
teth-st, and about go yards from the As
toria shore. 1t manifestly narrows the ap-
prOach from tho south to what 1t
Is now the fashion to call New
" tons Channel" great deal of work
will be necessary at Flood Rock, as it has a
considerable area. But it is pleasant to notice
that not only was the great initiatory work
well done, but also the minor undertakings
are begun in the order in which they are most

UHISTLING.


There is nothing more impressive than
minute precision in a prediction. Ihe Hon
L. X. Apgar is Secretary OF the Democratic
State Committee. At the meeting at the
Cooper Union the other night he showed an
acquaintance truly surprising with the present
condition of public opinion in the state
Indeed, it seems almost impossible to resist
tIe force of Mr. Apgar's arithmetic He was
able TO declare that already the Democrats
have gained Is votes in each Of the 1,S6l
election districts outside of New-York
and BROOKLYN This would give just
27,91j fresh converts to 1llden-and-
IIendrickssm, rs We must call IT, since
Mr.. Charles Francis Adams assures us
that it isn't Democracy. We are surprised at
Mr. Apgars moderation. Why not say 10000
converts would not that be more potential
and sound pretter! However, we promise not
to complain if only Mr.. Apgar will give us
the name of the Twenty y-Seven-Thousand-
Nine Hundred and Fifteenth acquisition. 1t
would not be much of n particular, but 1t
would be better than nothing. We waive the
27,9l4 others and call for. the name OF the
latest regencrlted unit.
But the loudest whistlng is kept mp at the
rooms Of the Democratic State Committee.
They tell every inquiring visitor there that
thousands upon thousands of Republicans are
rushing TO the support OF Tilden. Lovely let
ters from all parts of the State report 10 ac-
ouisitions in this town, and 8 in that; and
how everywhere the very oldest Republicans
are knocking at the doors of Iildcn clubs ana
begging to be let in. In one town. mer-
chants and / carpenter! In another clergy
man. In a third, . farmers, tanners, l
butcher. . artists, and / doctor, The last ac-
QUESTION seems to us the most timely OF all
The votes on the railways and steamboats,
will be coming in prcscntly-Tilden, 2Oo :;
Hayes, THAT will be about the usual pro-
portion Of these unofficial returns. Old poll
ticians know precisely the value OF these
beautiful brogs. They come rs regularly at
every election rs the banners and the
torches II is a pecuiarity OF State Com
mittecs that they always confidently
expect To carry all before them, and the more
desperate the chance, the louder, rs we have
always noticed, the whistlink! All the Demo-
cratic candidates for the Presidency for many
years have been elected Cin their own news
pqp,rJ and have missed nothing except the
majority and the Inauguration. 1t Is only on
election day that the converted merchants and
doctors and clergymen turn up missing. We
do not expect to announce the election of Ill
den and Hendricks any more than the combus-
ton of the Hudson River; but we promise to
record both events honestly, should they occur.

SOLDIERS is CITIZENS.

The Union Soldiers and Sailors Reform
Association have issued an address to their
former comrades, advising them to vote for
1ildcn and Hendricks. They charge the sup
po,tcrs of Gov. Hayes with "a desire to re-
"kiudlc the old war feeling of anlmosity.
and they accuse the Grand Army of the Re
public most uujGStly, and We must say most
unfratcrually, with permitting itself to be
"madc to subscryc thc purposes of engender-
" ing sectional strife and pcrpetuatlng Radical
" Republican misrulc.' This * serious
Indictment. The author of this address
must have known that old soldiers
have had reasons in past years for not voting
with the Democrats, or at least Tor not sup
porting a good many Democratic candidates
Considering the facts of history, the veteran
has reasons also for distTlstng Gov. lllden
either perSonally or as the representative OF
the Democratic party. But wc put this point
for the present out of the discussion. There
are other considerations which are more pcrti-
ncnt and timely.
Ii appears to us that these members oil the
Union Soldiers and Sailors Reform Associa-
ton are doing the very thing which they
dcprrcatc in others. The true way, ac-
corling 10 the theory of these gentle
men. would bc to have no such association ut
all; and 50, to prove how sincere they are in
their opirions they Immediately form one
of the kind, and make Fighting General
Joe Hooker the President thereof When
men tell us that particular kind
of political organization Is dangerous,
and at the same moment proceed to
form political organization of precisely that
kind, though we may try to respect their mo-
tiycs. il will be hard work to respect their
Intelligence. The bravo veterans of the
" Reform Association " should have forgotten
that they were ever soldiers and should
quietly have become absorbed by the Demo-
cratic party, with 80 no, We'll never men
" ton it !" "a their last distinct and personal
utterance. Instead of this, as soldiers of the
Union, they form society, and then expect
everybody to forget that the Union has ever
been in danger
What the Reform Association may properly
do, the G.. A. r. may properly do. They have
their own opinion of the candidates, considered
in the light of the past and of the present.
Nobody, it seems to us, has drained the cup of
Lethe-sO far as our own observation goes, 1t
is u very remembering time.

WORK YET TO BE DONE At RELL GATE.
People who viewed the great explosion from
Wards Island thought that an excess of pre-
caution was taken i'll keeping them back from
the waters edge, and away from more east
erly position on the island which would have
been nearer Hallett's Reef. There was, how
ever, n danger in this position additional to
that caused by its nearness to the $4,000
pounds of explosive material Midway be-
tween those spectators and the Astoria
shore, another package of dynamite lay be-
meath the waters not comparable in quantity
to the total of the charges in the mine, but
sufficient if in one mass TO do a great deal of
execution when exploded and perhaps to
render perilous position on the nearest point
of Wards Island. 1t had been considered
as among the possibilities that the
smaller mass might have been ex-
ploded by the conclusion from the
larger one. They were perhaps $50 yards apart.
1t is another evidence of the thoroughness
with which the explosives at Hallett's Reef
were confined to their work there, that no eff

immediate success. There has already been
too much of unnecessary bloOdshed and de-
yastation. If the Seryan armies are strong
enough to push the Turks back over the bor-
der. and become invaders in their turn, they
may win more than they dream Of by adyanc-
ing at once. If they merely mean demon
stration for the sake of effect, they will forfeit
much of the sympathy they have hitherto re-
ceived The world admTes brave and en-
during, but not tricky and staggering race.

library to vie in friendly rivalry with that of
Boston. The AstOr and Lenox Libraries on
the one side, and the Mercantile on the other,
are all good of their kind, but the ibcary Of
the future is of another sort, and New-York
must yet mate its splendid school system,
which takes the child almost from its cradle
and sends out n college graduate with public
library worthy of its culture and its wealth.
New-York tribune., 1876-10-02

Ten years ago the Republican party of Ken
tucky had no organized existence. Then, and
even after its organization, it was scarcely
more than little band of earnest men, who
bore much for conscience sake, and who had
the courage TO remain steadlast to Republican
principles. though on &" the daTl, and bloody
" ground" that was the very stronghold Of unre-
constructed and unrcconcllcd Democracy.
Now it is an organization casting nearly
100000 votes, ard actually aspiring to the
control of the strongest Of I'll the Democratic
States. An interesting account of this rapid
growth in the Republican party, and of the
spirit of the DcmocIacy-whic ~ is usually
the case, is all the more bitter because it did
none of the tigntinS-is given by cor
respondent on another page. The conclusion
is easily drawn from his observations that the
people on the other side of the Ohio may
have some reason for the alarm at the pros
pect of a solid South which thcy seem cspe-
ci9lly to feel

Some of the Republican OratOry in Indiana has

Yesterday came in October, fresh, cool, breezy,
and bright with health and strength and the finest
and most innocent of exhilaratOns in every cubic
inch of the atmosphere There was just enough
taste of Winter in the air to render it pquant and
all the influences tended to make the mere act Of
living positive pleasure. OF course on such Sab
BATH all the places of public worship were uncom-
monty we'll attended; and the great travel over the
suburban lines of railway which has been partially
suspended for several Sundays resumed its Summer
proportions. Should the weather continue fine, as 1t
probably will the number of visitors to the Centen
NAL Exhibition will 10 doubt be very great
There must be 4 great many people who have post
poned their Exhibition trip until this the most
comfortable month in all the year for sightseeing
while the announcement Of the awards will increase
rather than diminish the interest with which each
object will be regarded.

difficult for the Turks to hold the ground they
have won. In its political aspect delay favors
the Servian policy, while it adds to the embar-
rassments of the Porte. Already Prince Milan
may count on the English Liberals as his
allies. Should Mr.. Gladstone come into power
the Servians would undoubtedly have the moral
influence of Great Britain in their favor This

Savings bank depositors seem to have come
back to their sober senses, and the symptoms
of a general run that had developed them
selves have nearly disappeared. In fact, there
was much less to alarm dcpositors generally in
the recent suspension of two banks than
might at first sight appear Both banks
closed their doors voluntarily, taking this
action for the protection Of dcposltors. In
both the proportion of loss seems Likely to be
small, and much smaller than it wcu'd prob
ably have been if the banks had gone on in
the hope of living through. The Withdrawal
of these banks cannot affect Others save IN the
possible loss OF public confidence; aud the de-
crease IN the number is itself an approach to
a healthier s,ate of things. There has been at
no time any need of SO many banks as we
have had, and there Will not 6e SO many
hereafter A business that has been consider
ably overdone may thus be brought within its
legitimate limits.

shock of surprise. There were people who
were surprised, however. The friends and en-
ployes of the accused, including perhaps half
of the jury, could not, we are informed con-
ceal their astOniShment and their joy. Gen.
BabcOck has been close student of the jury

A week more of working days, and each of
the five States of Ohio, Indiana, Georgia, West
Virginia, and Colorado will have given q
pretty sure indication of the direction III which
its electoral vote will be cast. A full list of
candidates and comparative majorities will be
found on another page From Indiana word
comes that both parties are now ANXIOUS
rather than bOaStful, and are cOnccding every
where that the majority either way IA likely
to be small. That the Democrats should have
come to this pass, IN a State represented on
their National ticket, and which they claimed
up to the last moment by large majority, Is
at least Il hopeful sign.

Encouraged by their success last Spring, the
Abyssinians are again harassing the Egyptians
They recently captured MassOwah - the khe-
dives base of supplies-and two of his steam
ers. This time they are reported to have made
prisoners OF Ratb Pasha and his staff. Ratlb
is a C1cassan, who won distinction on the
battlefield, but rashly attempted to shoot him-
self because he had been publicly insulted by
Said Pasha, the late Viceroy. Although he
was commander-in-chef, the direction OF the
last campaign devolvcd on Gen. Loring, who,
with several other American officers, directed
the movements of the expcditionary army 1t
is probable, therefore, that the captured
STAFF includes Gen. Loring and other
Americans In that event, Gen. stone, who
is at Cairo, will no doubt do all he can to
secure the release of his cOuntrymcn, but at
best their position must be critical.
