why They are Anxious.

From time to time ever since the inaugu-
ration of Mr.. HAYES, We have been rcceiv-
ing adviccs from Washington that great
anxiety was felt by the President and the
members Of the Cabinet about the title UNI
der which they hold Office For time, we
were at n loss to understand this, because,
In the first place. doubt was entertained by
the lawyers whether there was any provs-
ion in law for quo ,rdrrdnto to test HAYEs's
title. and, secondly. because IL was generally
understood that Mr. TILpEN was indisposod
t. litigate the matter.
Something of the mystery which voiled
the source of this anxiety has been revealed
by the prosecution Of the members OF the
Returning Board in Louisiana. From the
statements OF Republican journals it appears
that Mr.. HAYES relied upon assurances
he had received that nothing OF this kind
should he done He had little fear of u quo
wdrrdnio, but he knew that the cheat OF the
election was liable to be exposed by crimi-
nal prosecution of the officers concerned in
St; and on this account lie might naturally
feel all the anxiety he has exhibited.
A man occupying the Office OF President OF
the United States, conscious that he holds 1t
by color OF fraudulent election returns,
knowing that the corrupt character of these
returns may be judicially determined in u
criminal prosecution, and only relying on n
promise that such prosecution shall not be
Instituted, can hardly be otherwise than
nnxious

Lille Insuranv. D,.--..-.

More than two years ago, before the long
succession or failures among life insurance
companies began, THE Sun pointed out that
the manner in which the business was con-
Quoted was unsafe, vicious, and sure to lead
to disaster. Now we see how general is the
dstrust in the system of life insurance as
usually practised, and how rotten many OF
the companies which made great display
Of vigor have been proved to be. These ex-
posures OF concerns practically doing bust
ness under false pretcnccs will go on stead
lily, and at last we shall have 10 consider
seriously how TO reform and save an institu-
ton which controls 50 large share OF the
savings Of the people.
The trouble with life insurance companies
is that they are too extravngantly conduct
ed, pay too high price to their agents, are
run too frequently for the enrichment Of a
Ring, and put too much money in SNOWY
buildings. No private business so conducted
could stand. and life insurance, unless thor
oughly reformed will utterly lose the conil-
dence OF the public.
We doubt if it will over hc established on
n sound basis until 1t has got rid Of its
army Of soliciting agents and the officers
who grow enormously rich on their salaries.

circumstantial evidence Of killing WILLIAM
SHAW. who had been shot dead in the night by

been hanged on the 18th Of May last. On the
18th OF May evidence was shown to Gov.
PHELPS. TO the effect that joins. n brother Of
PoISDExTER. had confessed himself guilty Of
the murder OF SHAW. On the strength of that
evidence. PorSpExrER was rcpreved until Fri
day last. There seems 10 be no doubt that JOHN
EDMoSDsoS did. on his dying bed. declare him
self the murderer. but the Governor became
convinced that the declaration was not true. and
was made with a view Of saving the convicted
brothers life. The law was therefore allowed
to take its course. 1t is to be hoped. after what
has happened, that the Governor was right in
disregarding the dying confession.

the terrible havoc Of the diseases which are

bilitatng. II is the dull, heavy heat which
works SO great disaster and OF that just
now we arc getting some experience. Spite
OF frequent rains, cleansing the streets and
purifying the atmosphere, we find that tho
diseases peculiar to summer are prevailing
among tho inhabitants OF the tenement
houses and decimating tho infants OF those
close and ill-ventilatcd habitations 1t is
dsgraccful to New York that this breeding
OF fatal disease goes on year after year, Ia
the same quarters, and under the same
conditions.
There is no department OF medical science
which has of late years received more at
tenton Mt homo and abroad than that OF
public hygiene, and the advance made in it
is displayed in the improved sanitary con-
dition of the English cities especially. Yet
in New York we seem unable to prevent our
regularly occurring summer pcstilcnce. IL
is true the conditions here are different from
those OF London, for instance We expert
encc n torrid heat in July and August which
speedily causes decay among animal and
vegetable matter, and renders the denscly
inhabited tcncmcnts OF the poor really unfit
for human residence In London the sum
mer is comparatively temperate. Our mar
kcts. also. are filled with vegetable food.
which, though healthy when fresh and ripe,
becomes dangerous to health when green
and stale. and the children OF the poor are
apt to get 1t in ono or the other state, for
then II is cheapest. The ignorance Of par
ents has much to do with the prevalence OF
the maladics OF tho summer; but their
poverty compcls many thousands OF them
TO give very little heed to tho quality OF
their food SO long as they get any food at all
Moreover, the bad air in which they live,
and the enfecblcd and exhausted condition
of their mothers, are the fruitful causes oil
