Business Men to the Front.

There has probably been no period in the
history of the country when sound practical
legislation was more needed than at the
present time. Business of all kinds has, in
great measure, come to stop. Capital
on the one hand is unable to find employ
ment, and on the other hundreds of thou
sands of workingmen are idle and have
been idle for years. If we could put these
two forces to work the dull times would
soon disappear. How TO do it is the prob
lem. We have already pointed out in these
columns some of the ways and means of
accomplishing so desirable result. We
have shown that some of our tariff laws
are so many Chinese walls built by
ignorant legislation to prevent us from
getting at legitimate markets. TO the
national administration, with the help of
Congress and the foreign governments,
which are really as much interested in the
matter as we are, we look for the removal of
these unnatural barriers, if not this winter
in the near future. This will be great
stride in the right direction. But it is not
the only direction in which we can help the
good work of improvement and recovery
from the errors and follies of the past.
What we need, as we have said, is practical
legislation, and we must have practical men
to doit With all due respect for the lawyers
we think we have too many OF them in Con-
gress and in our State legislatures, and it is
time they gave place to men who understand
the important financial and industrial ques-
tions that now SO loudly call for the wisest
The New York herald., 1877-09-11

vention, but it would be contrary to all
usage for them to attempt to forestall the
action of the Convention one way or the
other. Governor Robinson's declaration in
favor of renominating the State officers will
have considerable weight in many of
the Assembly districts and may in
fuence the choice of delegates, but
he has repeatedly disclaimed any wish
to dictate. When the Convention as
sembles it is his purpose to keep hands
off and leave the two factions to fight it out
without any aid from him. A great portion
of the old democratic leaders will be on the
ground to oppose the denomination of the
State officers. The New York city delegates
will oppose them, the Brooklyn delegates
will support them, and they will be stifly
opposed by the delegates from Syracuse and
Rochester If the Convention should be held
in either of these cities the local influence
will be hostile to the old ticket, but if held
in Utica it will be favorable. At Saratoga,
where it was held last year, the Convention
would meet on neutral ground. The place
designated to-day by the State Committee
will indicate the preference by majority
Of that body. Meet where the Convention
may, it will be the scene Of q bitter, violent

FIFTH AVENUE THEATRE.

BuMoR THAT 1T IS TO CLOSE ON SATURDAY,
MR. AUGUsTIN DAILY SAID TO DE BANK
RupT.
Mr.. AuQustin DAILY, manager of the Fifth Avenue
Theatre according to rumors which we're In circua-
ton "on tho Riato last night, called his company
together yesterday morning and informed them that,
owing to proceedings effect his disposession of tho
theatre which has long been identified with his
name IL would be necessary for him to close
his season on Saturday. It was added tha,
after imparting this information to his
company Nr Daily remarked 81 foel hundred years
old.n Inquiry at tho Ffth Avenue Theatre elected
complete denial Of the rumor, but in spite OF this II
was positively asserted on what seems excellent
thoriy that Mr.. Dalys career as manager Is really
at an end. he began his managerial career more
than O dozen years ago at what has alternately
beon called tho Broadway and tho Globe Theatre
with the clever play Of 'Under the Gaslight" This
proving successful, he took the little theatre In
twenty fourth street. which he christened the Fifth
Avenue Theatre. For four or i've years he managed
this house, alternately alternately presenting such stars
and French society pieces like 'Frou-Frou,"
"Fernande," and ''Articlo 47.'' In the piece
last named Miss Clara Morris made her great .ht"

The Fall Of Plevna.

The dispatches printed yesterday morn
ing in. regard to the capture of Plevna have
not yet been confirmed, and we are left in
some doubt as to the actual situation of faffairs.
Dispatches of as late date from other
points contain no allusion to the event but
this does not necessarily imply that the
city has not fallen. Preparations were made
there by the Russians for great battle,
and it may be that owing to the difficulties
of communication definite information has
been delayed. The most significant news this
morning relates to the operations in the
rear OF Plevna, where the Russians appear
to be in great force, and where an impor-
tant, if not decisive, engagement may be
expected at any moment

Uniform and Uniformity.

The Police Commissioners are constantly
making what they call improvements" in
the uniform Of the men under their control
They discarded the old and serviceable caps
and substituted therefor another that had
nothing to recommend it except its ugliness
The old cap was protection to the head
of the wearer in case of an attack, for it was
capable of resisting heavy blow and, be-
ing admirably ventilated, was not injurious
to health. The present style of hat is
too hot for summer and not warm
enough for winter wear, and the absurd
cord and tasscl adds to it's cost. BY this
change in hats the men were compelled to
lose the price of two, the discarded cap
being of course, no use. Then, again,
every policeman is expected to purchase
waterproof cover. Now the Commissioners
have made another needless change. Every
man on the force possessed rubber coat,
which in wet weather protected his entire
person, yet the Board decided that cape
would do as we'll, so the men are obliged
to discard their waterproof overcoats
and purchase a cape which will only
protect their shoulders. OF course all
these new articles are purchased on con-
tract and furnished by the Board; 80 the
inference is drawn by the men that some
body makes percentage on the same. We
do not think that the Commissioners are
privy to any such arrangement, but we live
in such degenerate days that jobs are sus-
pected on the slightest grounds.
The fact is the discipline of the depart
ment needs more attention than the matter
of uniform. The Board might put their
men in chain armor, but that would not
improve their efficiency. The average per-
sonnel of the force is Of high character,
and we have had abundant proof of the
reliability of the department, as body, in
the hour of danger; but there are men in
the ranks who ought not to be there, and
the Commissioners should weed them out
Men of brutal instincts, who are prone to
use the murderous club, are not fit for the
position Of o policeman, and whenever
such man betrays his ignorance
of, or disregard for, the rights of citi-
zens, he should be removed. Now
a peaceable officer finds no encouragement,
for the belligerent savage is allowed to go
on his warpath unchecked and unchidden.
What the public would like to see is not
new styles Of uniform on the backs of the
police but uniformity in conduct when
discharging their duty. Novel caps and
cords and natty capes are of no interest to
the taxpayer while the wearers indulge in
indiscriminate club exercise. Reform your
discipline first, Messrs Commissioners and
then the dress of the men if you must.

The state Militia system.

The reasons given by Governor Carroll
for approving the disbanding of the Sixth
regiment Maryland militia, prove conclu-
sively how necessary it is that strict dsci-
pline be enforced in such organizations.
The fact that the colonel of the Sixth re-
ported to the Governor that majority of
his men sympathized with the rioters, and
that he could not trust them in face of o
mob, showed not only inefficiency on the
part of the commissioned officers, but a total
disregard of their duties. The Governor also
states that out of one hundred and twenty
men who were sent to the railroad depot
fully one hundred deserted their posts

and most thoughtful consideration. No
country in the world has so many lawyers
legislating for it as the United States In
France and England and Germany the
financial, commercial and agricultural in
terests are largely represented in the ma
tional councils, and there can be no doubt
that the prosperity of those countries is in a
large measure due to this fact. The most
distinguished Of French writer's has charac-
terized lawyers as the ''conservators Of
ancient barbarous usages," and the condi-
tion of our statute books to-day shows how
closely he has hit the mark. We respect
fully suggest to the lawyers that this is an
excellent time for them to step down and
out and to political parties that they will
have no better opportunity than the present
of putting the country under great obliga-
tion to them. Let them nominate a large
proportion of good, honest business men
for Office, for the common councils as well
as for the State legislatures, and let us at
last have some practical, sensible legisla-
ton, instead Of the conservation of ancient
barbarous usages.

Was It a Murders

The public has not perhaps yet forgotten
the sad story of the death of the young Eng
lish actress who played in 'Life" at the
Fifth Avenue Theatre less than year ago.
Her name was Amy Fawsitt, and she came
to us only short time before from Lon
fully sustained here, of being an excellent
actress. When her death took place the
journals of the day contained mysterious
allusions to the dead actress, and not few
of them printed homilies on what they
called her life lesson. We were told
that she had died of consumption and
that death was fastened by an in
trinity to which she was unhappily subject.
In few weeks her name ceased to point
paragraph and disappeared from the public
prints. But almost from that day to this
there have been vague rumors that Amy
Fawsitt's real life, and perhaps her death,
were much more tragical than any she had
ever personated on the stage. These rumors
have been so frequently and persistently
reiterated that we have deemed them worth
the trouble of an investigation, and the
story is given in other columns. 1t is cer-
tainly strange and curious one, and those
whose official duty it is to investigate such
matters will fail in their duty if they allow
the case to rest and do not take up the
threads and clews to, possibly, dark crime
which we place in their hands this morning.

military code in time of active service; yet
these deserting militiamen were so ill in
structed in their duty and responsibility
that they, no doubt, believed they had q
right to doff their uniforms and go where
they pleased. No wonder the Sixth regi-
ment is disbanded; but the Governor Of
Maryland deals altogether too leniently with
his officers. He should have court martialled
them for ;ncompetency and then cashiered
them. It is about time militiamen began to
appreciate the fact that when they volun-
