DIR. TYNGS APPEAL,

We print, in another column statement of
the extra-parochial work, carried on under the
direction of the Church of the Holy Trinity,
with an appeal for means to place this work on
n secure basis. The question has been sometimes
asked rather cyncally to what denomination
DIR. Tying and his church belong, but probably
no one ever thought that their benevolent
work is less deserving because it is I'M
UNCONVENTIONAL. The church has always
earnestly supported the various organ
izations connected with it, and has never be-
fore made public appeal for assistance. 1t
has, furthermore, just made heroic effort
among its own members to pay off its indebt-
edness, and now, therefore, can go before the
community at large with good grace. This
present effort is connected with the compile
ton of the recent subscription.
The circular which we publish contains
what in similar cases is sometimes omitted-a
distinct promise that the $4,000 asked for
shall be spent for the purpose for which it is
asked. The committee which has con-
sented to serve the church in this matter
is composed of gentlemen (of several dfferent
denominations who are accustomed to sue
coed in what they undertake. but it lies with
the public to see that the present case is not
an exception. The people are the objects of
this work, and as the appeal puts it: "Why
"should not those whose sympathes are with
" the neglected classes be its supporters 2"

A certain class of Republicans, dissatisfied
with the course of the Administration, charge
upon the Southern policy Of Mr.. Hayes that
it has resulted in the forced dissolution Of the
Republican party in every one Of the recon-
structed States, brought the impentent rebel
element into power, and left the cOlored
people practically unrepresented and unpro-
tectcd. What these critics of the "S0uthern
"policy" would have had the President
do, they do not so clearly show. There is
force, to be sure, in their suggestion that
the same thing might have been accom-
plshed by skilful manager, without
destroying the Republican party at the
South in the operation. But that criticism sub
stantially would apply with more force to
this Administration in some other di-
rectOns. The Southern policy, as it
is called, consisted merely in the OBJ
seryance Of the law and the Constitu-
ton; it was adopted. not as a matter of choice,
but as a matter of necessity and il was not
the invention of President Hayes, for the first
orders putting it in force were issued by Cen
eral Grant, and the new Administration was
compelled, whether it would or no, 10 follow

We all have heard what according to Samuel
Johnson, LII. d. certain hot place is paved with.
Some good intentions" if they are of the real
article and not an imitation are undoubtedly to be
respected, but when man has gone on borrowing
money and not paying it for n considerable length OF
time his protestation of his intention to pay
IL at the time of effecting the loan, may
be oil and vino to his own lacerated con-
seience but it is hardly soothing 10 his creditors.
Mr.. Cornelius J. Vanderbilt, who IA a borrower has
achieved a remarkable if not enyiable reputation,
being asked in the Court of the Surrogate: " Did
YOU ever borrow any money that you did not intend
TO pay I" promptly and chiyalrously, possibly with
his hand upon his wastcoat, answered Never !"
The Court allowed the answer, which MIR. Vanderbilt
supplemented by the statement, Il have many times
paid borrowed money" nor did he add that he dis
charged one debt by contracting another of the
same kind The moral of the matter Is Of moro i'm
portance than Mr.. Vanderbilt, ir.s intentions"
which, however honorable were not sufficiently
based upon his resources. An intention is a shad-
owy sort OF thing and do not believe that il
took up promssory note nee that kind of docu-
ment came into fashion. When. as Mr.. Clinton said.
tits mans chronic habit "to borrow and not pay" his
"intentions" may be exceedingly beautiful, and
at the same time pretty nearly worthless. Besides,
they are unsatisfactory In another way, and
will continue to DO until We wear windows in
our bosoms. You have only the defaulters word
for them, with his deeds, which anybody can COM
prehend, giving them face to face contradiction.

Evidences of the alarm which las seized the
capitalists and the great mOneyed institutions
of the country, at the threatening approach OF
silver initiation, accumulate almost too rapidly
for enumeration. Two large Western cities
have been refused loans except on gold
basis, one asking 100000, and the other
81, 500, 600; one bank has even refused to make
small loan of $13 900, on the ground that if the
Bland bill should pass the loss would be greater
than the interest would cover. and it was
"safern to keep the money. The statements
of the presidents of prominent banks and
trust companies, in another column, show
that this distrust of the future course of
Congress is general, and that there is a strong
desire among them for concert of action.
But what is more, individual bOndhOlders
have taken the alarm. One sale of large
amount by a private owner is reported, as
well as one of half a million dollars 10y one
of the banks, and bankers report a tendency
to sell even at loss rather than run the risk
of still greater loss by the Silver Bill. 1t is
to be hoped that these fears will not be JUS
tilted by the event, but it cannot be denied
that there is reason for grave apprehen-
sion. 1t is impossible that the country should
be at ease, when the sanctity of the National
honor, the sOundness of the investments
of thousands of financial institutions, and the
safety of the savings of millions of bank de-
posters, may hang upon single vote III the
Senate. Before Congress meets again, the un-
settled voters in that body should be informed

honest majority of this people is on this mat

The Widow Oliver doesn't seem to have
settled much of anything by her legal coquetry,
except, perhaps, that it is worth thousand
dollars not TO marry Simon Cameron.
1t does not seem to occur either to Messrs.
Greenfield or to the authorities that the bodies
of five men and one woman have been lying
for over a week III the ruins of the Barclay
ST. fire. The management of this matter ever
since the fire was extinguished has been dis
graceful 10 the Fire Commissioners and the pro-
prietors, and revolving in every respect.
Theories of the so-callcd explosion in Bar
clay-st. are yielding to the belief that there
was really no explosion at all. The evidence
tends strongly TO prove that the floors of the
adjoining building were heavily laden with
goods, and that the walls, giving way, carried
down those of the candy factory. III it can be
shown that defective building and overloaded
floors have caused this disaster, the Superin-
tendcnt of Buildings must largely share the
blame

hardly say here that no better guarantee Of
the truth of their statements can be asked than

Special Dispatch to the New York Graphic.
WASHINGTON, May 2G.-In brief con-
versation yesterday with your CORES.
pondent, Secretary Eyarts summed up
the policy Of the Administration towards
the business interests Of the country. Mr..
Evarts' verbosity has become an adage,
and it is Cabinet joke to appeal to him
when the Administration wants anything
said or written Of non.committal char.
acter, but he can be epigrammatic when
he desires.
By way Of parenLhesis, Judge Law
renee, Of the Louisiana Commission, re-
marked that where they were notified OF
their appointment the members of the
commission were very much at a loss how
to act, and what TO do in the delicate cir.
cumstances; but when they received Mr..
Evarts' letter Of instructions they were
absolutely in darkness MS to what was OK.
pected Of them.
In regard 10 the commercial interests
Of the country, Mr.. Eyarts said it would
be the object OF the Administration 10
cultivate them instead Of cultivating pol.
itics. 1t was the desire of the President
and Of his advisers TO have as little to do
with politics us possible, and far as their
influence would 60 to direct the attention
Of the public away from otEice.seekine and
political agitation, to the revival Of in.
dustries and general business interests,
They wanted TO go on quietly and admin.
lister the affairs Of the Government, at.
tracing rs little attention as possible,
and giving as little as possible opportu.
nifty for the discussion Of public acts.
This was the principal reason why the
extra session OF Congress was postponed
until October, SO as 10 join the regular
session without an interval, that there
might be but one instead OF two occasions
for political turmoil. OF course they
expected that there would be clashing
OF interests now and then; that preiudices
on one side would set up against preju.
dices on another side, but they would re-
member, in dealing with conflicting in.
terests, the old adagc that ''soft butter
was just as good as hard butter on n
parsnip."
