Nearly the entire community, without
distinction Of race or religion, has shown
its readiness to stand up for the rights of
our jewish fcllow-ctilons, who have felt
nggricvcd over the SELIGMAN affair. Not II
single newspaper We believe, has sustained
llITroN's policy; it has been condemned by
the leading business men, the most promi-
ncnt clcrgymcn of the Christian faith, and
10y nearly all the hotclkccpers who have
been heard from. 1t has been made evident
that. If Mr.. HILTON docs not stand alone.
his party must be- very small indeed. It.
members refrain from showing themselves,
and are certainly neither powerful nor bold
Our Intelligent Jewish American citizens,
including Mr.. SELIGMAN himself, were
naturally gratilcd with the expressions Of
public sentiment. aud promptly expressed
their appreciation Of them. On Saturday

courses, which were wise, judicious pacify-

the best form of efficient civil service. Not
n word has been lispcd against his charac-
ter, or a complaint of any kind against his
official administration. A brother of one OF
Deacon RICHARD SMITHS wicked partners
wanted the place, and HAYES proposed to
give it to him. To got rid Of BOWLING, the
following official letter was addressed to
him:

SOME NEU BOOHS.
A Writer Calling for Reform In the Light
ming Protection business.

A Practical Treatise on Lightning Protection,
by HENRY W. SPANG. which contains informa-
ton of interest to every builder and property
owner in the country. Philadclphia: Claxton.
Remscn and Haffclnngcr) How important is
the diffusion Of some sound notions on this sub
jcct may be inferred from the fact that nearly
all the lightning rods now erected in the United
States contain from ono to three serious defects.
Even upon number Of so-callcd scientific in
stitutons worthless lightning conductors can
be found which arc "a standing satire upon the
science taught within their walls.
1t is well known that the business Of applying
metallic conductors to buildings. a business
which ought to be controlled by persons Of
capacity and requirement. has Of late years
been principally carried ON by n class Of wan
dcring mechanics known as "lightnng-rod
men," who have conducted IL in such II manner
MS to bring tho vocation into bad rcputc. The
object Of these men has been TO make money.
and they have accordingly employed unreliable
conductors. affixed them in an unscicntiilc
manner. and in many cases practically insu-
lated them from the earth. The result is that
majority Of tho lightning rods now erected are
porils and not projections.
Again. it is worth noting that n building over
ono hundred feet square cannot be adequately
defended unless. in addition to the conductors
number arc employed in tho interior at inter-
walls Of not loss than 1fy feet and well con-
nected with earth terminals placed in the base
ment Of the building. The obvious purpose Of
this arrangement ia to provide short and direct
paths for the lightning discharges.
After demonstrating that the electricity Of tho
earth is principally accumulated in the sub
terrancan water bed tho writer Of this useful
book points out that few OF the rods now used
can be relied upon for the passage Of heavy
lightning discharges. owing TO the small guam
tty Of metal they contain. and the dry condi-
ton Of the earth around and beneath their
lower terminals Mr.. Spang insists that the
metal roofs. rain and gas pipes. iron fronts. &c..
about buildings arc much better conductors
than the ordinary rods with polished points,
and il properly connected with the earth would
afford absolute protection. He suggests. more
over, n simple method hy which the rain and
waste water can bee utilized 50 ns to always
maintain an easy path in the earth Tor lightning
discharges.

CIVIL Tcnmre of Office.

When the Republicans i'm Congress quar-
relied with ANDREW JOHNSON. and deter
miod to crush out what he called "my
policy" they tied his hands by passing an
act in 1861, intended to restrain the power
of the Executive over the public patronage
and practically to vost the control Of ap-
puintments in the senate. soon after GRANT
reached the Presidency. this act was modi-
feel in some respects. but it still remains ON
tine statute book, substantially in tho orig
inal form.

The Fundamental Question.

Mr.. TILDrS was right. the other evening.
when he said TINT "the question Of Qu's-
tons now is, how TO prevent in future
the installation rs President Of the Uuitcd
States. OF a man who has not been elected t0
that Office.
Long experience has demonstrated that
the most efficient mode In which the popular
will can make itself felt IN the executive
branch Of the national Government, j. to
name in some form opposing candidates
for President and Nicc-Irc, idcut, a. rep
rcsentat.ycs Of the political parties into

popular vote which will instruct and bind
them in casting the votes Of the State in the
electoral bodies. In this way the choice. Icy
q majority OF the people of a State, Of par
tlcular set Of electors, becomes the express
sion OF the popular preference for the can
didatcs for whom these electors are in
structcd to cast the votes u the state. But
the system necessarily implies that there is
some central authority 10 which the clec-
toral votes are to be certified, and by which
the result il TO be ascertlined and declared.
The Constitution has vested this authority
IN the two Houses Of Congress. by making 1t
necessary that the electoral votes shall be-
opened i'm their presence. and by Immediately
declaring that the votes "shall htn bee
counted" which means nothing more nor
less than this, that the two Houses shall.
