President Hayes is shrewd,

Administration, is in Washington.
And Washington dispatches relate
that "Mr. Hayes took Mr.. Jones out
for II long drive this afternoon. The
President put his arm affectionate.

PROTECTION AGAINST CRIME.

There isn't the slightest protec
ton against crime in the city. IT
IA man charged with crime is arrest
ed, he has no difficulty in making
his escape, if he has money enough.
Within week four men charged
with grave crimes and under arrest,
deliberately walked off, one out of
Ludlow st. Jail, one of the Tombs
police court, and two out OF the
court house. In each case the Otfi-
GERS in charge of the prisoners were
conveniently blind, or conveniently
out of the way, and all the prison
ers had to do was to walk out and
get away. Now all this means

TAMMANY Is IN CONTROL AGAIN.

The spirit of reform which shook
the city has spent its course, pOpu-
lar feeling has in measure subsid-
ed, vigilance is relaxed and the De.
m ocracy have come to the front
again. The old Tweed Williams are
filling the Offices, Boss Kelly and
his gang have control, and such OPP
erations as permitting the escape of
criminals who can pay for it, are no
longer punishable. Unless the adj
vancing tide is checked by some
demonstration of strength on the
part of the Republicans supported
by the decent portion of the De.
mocracy, the city will be in the con.
troll of the Tammanyites as COM
pletely as it was under Tweed, with.
in a year. The Republicans who
are growing about small matters
in the Presidents policy ought to
stay here a while, and see the prac.
teal workings of Democracy where
it has unlimited sway. 1t is alike
everywhere. Wherever it gets pow.
er corruption runs riot, and fraud
rules supreme. Tammany is a poi
son which abides wherever there is
a Democratic majority. The strug-
gle now is not SO much as to 'pOli.
tics' as it is whether the respecta-
BILE portion of the population or the
lower elements shall have control.
In Democratic New York we are
very securely in the hands of the
lower elements, and the police col.
umns of the newspapers show the
effects thereof much more clearly
than | can.

All the creditors of savings hank

Government bonds pay now only about four and
a half per cent. aud savings banks ought not to
be temp pied. by efforts to pay high interest, to
invest in any but the very safest securities. The
present limit Of the surplus to ten per cent. Is
too low for safety, in view Of the liability Of in
vestmcnts to depreciation. Such fund had
better be too large than too small.

chamber procedure, was to invite suspicion
and discredit.
The House committees have had no con-
ceamcnt, and therein they acted wisely.
The character of the witnesses and the
value of the testimony could thus be
slftcd, us in u court of justice, by free
crcss-cxamination, and by the production
Of papers. The minority could not te de-
MED any right without the certainty of
exposure. They have visited all the coun-
ties and parishes which the Returning
Boards cast out for intimidation and
Violence, or for other alleged causes.
The press has had free entry TO all the
sessions, and without the least restriction.
The reports of the Senate side are fore
Swallowed. The Returning Boards are to
be sustained rs strongly rs that of Louisi-
ana was by JoHN SHERMAN's committee.
That of South Carolina may be somewhat
mildcr than the others, but Louisiana and
Florida will take no step backward. HOWE
aud SARGENT are to justify all the false
counting that has been done, aud the Re-
publican majority OF the Senate are ex-
pected to swallow this dose, sugar coated
with the personal explanations of their
committee, without the least OBJ lection.
The case To be made up by the House
side is pretty well understood already by
those who have followed the general testi-
mony. But it will be materially strength
cncd by the reports when all tho leading
points are condensed and confirmed by
irresistible proofs. OF course the majority
in the House will sustain their committee.
rs great majority of the people are likely
to do, because the investigation has been
conducted in II way to attract confidence
and sympathy.
Now, these conflicting reports are more
likely TO widen the breach than TO heal
the distraction. There is a real danger
OF disagreement between the two Houses,
unless there can be found a sufficient num-
Der OF Senators brave enough to rise above
the demands of party. and to stamp out the
conspiracy TO make n President upon fraud
ulcnt returns. A number OF Republican
Senators stand professcdly uncommitted
upon the present issues winch relate to the
powers OF the President of the Senate and
the rights of the two Houses as to the mode
OF counting the electoral votes They have
uniformly said, Let us wait for the reports
of the committees" and in the mean time
some OF them have expressed liberal views,
which will have no binding effect if these
reports lead to II change of mind.
There Is little probability that the joint
committee appointed to devise II method
for the count will finally act until these
Southern committees have reported. That
| delay may prove serious obstruction TO
agreement, especially II the extreme coun-
sci of Mr.. MoRToN should prevail.

Probably nm Agreement on the Manner oil
Declaring Who In Elected.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 2.-There is to be n
meeting of the House Committee on Counting
the Electoral Votes tomorrow. Several Demo-
cratic members of the committee have ex-
pressed their willingness to accept the PROPOSE
tions contained in senator Morton's bill Of last
session. with an additional section to obviate
the difficulty arising in case the two Houses
acting In their separate caDacitics do not con-
cur IN n decision. The section proposed would
apply especially to the question arising
as to which IL the proper return In
case two returns from one state are
received by the President OF the Senate,
" one House should agree to receive one set OF
electoral votes and the other House the other,
as might be the case with the oregon electoral
returns. 1t Is suggested that the subject be
brought up In the Joint session OF the two
Houses, the question Of adIuissiblity being nut
the result being determined by maj Ority Of The
members OF the joint meeting. 1t Is argued
that the proper and only rule upon which the
two Houses should act Ia, that where there H.
only one electoral vote, or one set OF electoral
votes, the authenticity OF which is doubted. the
concurrence OF both II ouses should be necessary
to decide the unauthentic return, and where
there are two sets of votes there should TO "A
concurrence of the two Houses as TO which one
snail be rejected, ana IN case such concurrence
cannot be mad "A majority of the two Houses Ia
admitted. IL Is said that a majority Of the
House committee. including at w. lst one Repuo-
hcan. are satisfied with the ngrcement, which has
about been reached in .he Senate Committee,

Peter u. sweeney Not 10 he Expected to Cross

When the suit of The People agt. Peter
II. Sweeny was called by Judge Westbrook yes

the prosecution deemed 1t desirable that MIR.
Sweeny should attend the trial, and that after
some negotiation Mr.. Sweeny's counsel were
promised that their client should not, II he
came 10 New York, be arrested on any other
prosecution, civil or criminal. But Sweeny
could not be IN New York Yesterday. and 1t was
necessary that the trial should he adjourned to
some future date.
Mr.. John Mckeon said that the arrangements
for Mr. SweciSs coming to New York
were not consImmnted until the 2oth OF

ed to Mr.. Peckham that the time until
the date set for the trial was so short that

The marriage of Miss Caroline May to
Mr. James Gordon Bennett, the proprietor Of

by his Eminence. Cardinal McCloskcy. Mr.
Bennett had desired that the marriage should
