YORK DAILY TRIBUNE TUESDAY, OCTOBER "a, 1876.

Greeley seven years ago is prophetic to-day.
Mr.. Tilden is IN this canvass even more actlVe
q manager than he was in 1868, and far more
directly responsible for any frauds which may
be committed. He is far more powerful to-
day than he was then in Che Sheriif's, the
Mayors, the Supervisors offices, and single
positive word from him would put stop to
the gross frauds which are being palpably pre-
pared Will he speak that word
The managers of Tammany Hall were de-
claring yesterday that not less than 100000
votes would be registered in this city. That
number would be over fifty thousand more than
the highest honest vote ever cast here. 1t would
he eleven thousand more than the registration
of 1868, when it is notorious that thirty
thousand false naturalization papers were
issued and total of fifty thousand illegal
votes cast for the Democratic candidate Mr.
Tilden better than any man i'll New-lork

These figures show that the decline in legal
tenders has been little less thus far than 1t
was in the other years named, 1873 OF course
excepted but that the decrease of deposits
has been such that the proportion has declined
33 per cent this year, against 3.9 per cent
last year, and 1t per cent i'll 1874. But the
decline in legal tenders after this date was
over $1l 100000 in 1872, over Sll,G00,OOO
in 1874 and about $11. 100000 in 1879.
similar outflow would bring the legal-tcnder
reserve down to $3l, 900, 900 or $37 7,00O,0 600
by the end of this year. The proportion de-
clined after this date 5.3 per cent in 1872,
and 80 per cent in 1874, and 40 per cent in
1878, and similar decline this year would
reduce il to l6.7 per cent at the worst, or lo.l
per cent at the best. And the probability Is
that the causes already mentioned may occa-
sion AN outflow of legal tenders somewhat
more rapid than we have seen OF late years
Hence there are possible dangers in the future
winch prudent bankers will guard against
with care.
Political considerations also enter here When
the danger of Democratic success was aVerted
in 1868 by the election OF Grant, Unlteu
States bonds Immediately rose and gold fell
rapidly. If the Democrats should succeed
this year, with the wild notions held Ivy the
great majority of that party, and with the
formal pledge TO repeal the Resumption act, it
may bo held exceedingly probable TINT bonds
will fall and gold advance. considerable
ALARM on the part of men who have money
on deposit, the value of which might
be materially affected by depreciation
of tho legal tender, would be very
natural. If, in obedience TO such a demand,
country banks should be forced to deplcte
their deposits, and at the same time nomInally
advancing prices of breadSiuis should hasten
sales and shipments, serious difficulty might
occur within a month after the election. Such
difficulty would be more threatening, II the
election should so result as to render probable
an ugly and bitter contest over the counting
of the votes. Safety for the banks and their
depostors. and for the business community
which is dependent upon the banks for sup
mort. lies only in the success of the Republican
party by a decisive majority.

reauire. The Commissioners, by their acts,
say openly and fairly and emphatically that
tbey mean to reform the whole force by pun
ishIng first the responsible heads whenever they
can detect them.
Thus far the removals have been secured
only by the personal efforts of the four Com
missioners. They were forced, we understand,
TO secure the evidence against Van Dusen ana
Irving by personal exertiOns they received no
assistance from their immediate subordlnates.
We should not like to add further that they so
far distrusted them that they did not dare to
call upon them for information. But the
Commissioners should no longer devote
their personal efforts to this sort OF de-
tective work. If the superintendent ana
inspectors cannot be trusted to watch the
captains and sergeants if the captains cannot
be depended upon to report delinquency on the
part of any of their commands, then superln-
tendent, inspectors, and captains are unfit for
their duties, and the whole system of discipline
in the force is wrong. Heretofore under the
old organization these higher officers have
been leagued in sort of common de-
fense, each protecting the other by silence,
and sometimes by false swearing. Hereafter
1t ought to be plainly intlmated to them ana
clearly understood by all of them that they
are 10 be a check and watch upon each other

is the ONLY correct basis for the disciplining OF

New-York tribune., 1876-10-24
CONCERNING Legal TENDERS.

There is OCCASION not for alarm, but for
caution, in the rapid outflow of legal tenders.
Such a movement is usual at this season, but
at its commencement this year the banks held
much smaller legal-tender reserves than they
ordinarily hold, and there is reason to believe
that the crop movement may be very
large Crops in Europe are generally short,
excepting in the regions which would be closed
to commerce by war between Russia and
Turkey Prices naturally rise in Great Brit
ain, and are likely to have an upward
tendency so long as the danger OF war
continues. Moreover, the aTmstice for SIX
weeks, if it should finally be forced upon Tur-
key, would leave the main question as much
unsettled as ever, and would not materially
lessen the grave apprehension winch causes
the price of wheat to rise. 1t Is therefore
probable that wheat and corn will 20 forward
with unusual rapidity for some weeks to come,
and the low rail rates, and the apprehension
that there may be an advance, increase the
desire to place grain at the scabOard quickly.
About the 1st of August the banks held over
$6O, 900, 900 in legal tenders. For obvious
reasons, we do not regard the gold notes held
as an available reserve Ill the event of de-
plctlOn Of legal tenders. Inc amount Oh leEu
tenders held was scarcely smaller, $j9,223, 100
being the average for the week ending sept.
l6, when the movement OF crops became large.
Since hat time the banks have lost about
$40. 500, 900, and the deposits, meanwhile,
have decreased about $13,000,OOO. AS yet
the proportion of legal tenders to de-
posits is above % per ccnt-lt was
about 26 per cent Sept. 16-but the movement
could not he expected to cease thus early
even if no unusual causes existed to stimulate
and prolong it. Last year tho outflow of
legal tenders continued without interruption
to the end of the year; it was scarcely inter
ruuted in 1874 from this date To the end OF
the year; and in 1872, the movement was
the same. The following shows the amount OF
legal tenders and of deposits held at the mid
die of September, at this date, and at the end,
of the years named

POLICE REFORMATION AND

POLICE REFORMATION AND DISCIPLINE
The dismissal of Capt James Irving from
the Police force is bit of justice long de-
layed. II former Commissioners who tried
him two years ago had been half as positive
and conscientious in the discharge of their
duties as the present ones, Irving would have
been dismissed for his grossly corrupt collusion
with mcdonnell, the Bank of England forger.
For that Oliense he may yet be tried, if the
agents of the Bank in this city carry out in
stiuctions to lay the facts before the proper
authority-the Distlict-Attorney.
This decision is a second important step
taken by the Police Commissioners in the
work of thoroughly cleansing the police force
of the corrupt meh who rose to power i'll the
department under the Tweed Ring. The dis
missal Of Capt. Van Dusen ought to have indi-
Gated clearly enough the new policy to have
warned the whole force of what was coming
in the way of reformation. The dismissal of
Irving ought to be The last warning which

An Albany letter observes of the Greenback
party in that section what is doubtless true of
it throughout the State-that its vote is drawn
mainly from the Democratic ranks. There Is
no probability however, that the Republican
bunder in Indiana is to be repeated in New
York under Democratic auspices. Once Is
enough with mistakes of that kind, and the
Greenback candidate for Governor Is more
likely TO have offers from both parties to come
out for the other side than to be asked for a
preference which so recently proved fatal.
Meanwhile another correspondent speculates
upon the future of the Grcenback party in
general, predicting that Democratic defeat VIII
be almost equivalent to disbandmcnt, and Will
turn over a large share of its voters to the
Greenback movement. Those wcIl-meanng
people who are supporting Gov. llIdcn Win
the idea that Democratic victory will bring
Democratic "chaos" might do well to consider
whether Democratic defeat is not a shorter
and a surer road.

Most things Turkish being abnormal, it is
quite reasonable that hopes of peace should be
entertained in Western Europe, while fighting
has been resumed in Seryia. The comparative
calm Is due to the likelihood that. Turkey
will accept the six weeks armistice, although
it is demanded by Russia, her avOwed enemy.
With conspiracy at the capital and disalection
throughout the land, the Sultan cannot afford
