The peculiar impress of Cornelius Van
derbilt seemed as perceptible in the rites
over his remains yesterday ms it ever was
upon what transpired about him during his
lifetime. In the ceremonies there was moth
ing done for the sake of mere display, yet
the strict appropriateness of all that was
said and done was, like the Commodores
own deeds, more effective than any labored
efforts could have been. In death, as in
life, he was surrounded by his friends, and
by them alone; the prayers offered were
strictly appropriate to the occasion the
hymns, like the man, were as effective as they
were unostcntatious, and the sermon was
practical discourse instead of an artificial
eulogy. Even nature itself seemed in SYM
pathy with the occasion and its subject, and
was by turns as stormy and serene, rs
gloomy and bright, as the ftful life of the
man who was returning to natures bosom.
Over the scene of his earliest triumphs q
greater conqueror led him back, and con-
Quoted him to final home close beside the
one from which he started when he went
into the great world. Departing from their
usual custom, even the pulpits of the city
kept silence before him and forebore to
review his career, but left tho man to the
Maker who alone comprehended him, and
his example to those to whom for many
years it has in oil its phases been plainly
npparent

The story OF the Florida Return
Ing Board.

Our special Washington correspondent
gives concise account, from democratic
sources, of the manipulations by which
Florida was declared first for Stearns and
Hayes, and on recount ordered by the
Supreme Court for Drew and Hayes. If
this story is true the Returning Board has
been clearly guilty of fraud; the republi-
can managers are also guilty of fraud in
the counties mentioned, and the republic
cans cannot afford to count in Mr.. Hayes by
such fraudulent methods. If they cannot
show that the vote of the State was honestly
taken and fairly counted public opinion
must set against them. If they can refute
this story we advise them to do so without
delay. They had control of the State;
their Governor was a candidate Tor re-
election; they appointed the election off,
GERS, and they are fairly accountable and
must show that they dealt honestly.

The Board OF ApportiOn m ent. &.

The new Board of Apportionment will
hold it's first meeting to-day. President
Wheeler, of the Department of Taxes and
Assessments, is the only member of the old
Board who remains in his position. His as
sociates in the first Board on which he
served where Mayor Havemeyer, Comp
troller Green and Alderman Vance This
body had not been long in existence before
Mr. Green got into an ENHANCEMENT with
Mr.. Wheeler and Mr.. Vance. and as the ex-
Comptroller carried the Mayor with him
the Board was tied up, two and two, and
its sessions were at once quarrelsome and
farcical. When Mayor Havemeyer's sue
cessor took Office the composition of the
Board Of Apportionment was Mayor Wick
ham, President Wheeler, Alderman Lewis
and Comptroller Green. The latter then
found himself in minority; but Mr..
Wheeler on several occasions was unable to
cooperate with the Mayor, and was COM
PEELED to join with Comptroller Green, thus
again tyinl the Board. The present Board
comprises Mayor Ely, Comptroller Kelly,
President Wheeler and Alderman Purroy.
It is decidedly the best Board we have had
under the charter of 1873, and, as it is en-
tirely harmonious, it can do much to pro-
mote the interests of the city.
If the Board of Apportionment will be
guided by sound common sense, and while
properly protecting the taxpayers will ap-
propriate money for all desirable purposes
and aid the departments in improving and
benefting the city and in discharging their
duties efficiently, it may make itself very
useful element in promoting good munic-
ipal government Heretofore if q transfer
of money or a special appropriation hap
pened to be required technical and factious
distractions were almost certain to be
thrown in the way, no matter how proper
and expedient might be the object sought
to be promoted. Some quibble of the
charter was sure to be discovered to delay if
not to defeat the desired action. 1t is to be
hoped that all this wrangling is now at an
end, and that the present Board, instead OF
obstructing the progress of the city and
paralyzing the departments, will be found o
valuable aid to an efficient and intelligent
administration of our municipal affairs.

THE WEATHER.--The Gulf storm which we
predicted on Thursday morning has ac-
complishcd its movement over the coast line of
the United States and is passing into the Atlantic
Ocean off the Nova Scotia coast. Its progress
has been marked by the conditions that we an
nounced would prevail when We drew attention
TO its approach. Heavy rain accompanied the
storm along the coast, with snow on the western
margin Of its area. The storm was like the
last two that passed over this city-limitcd in
area, but progressed with remarkable energy
The gale ut New York yesterday was one of over
thirty miles nm hour. The of precipitation

Marine Disastera.

The perils of the sea have not for long
time been brought so frequently before the
eye of the public as during the present sea-
son. The double wreck of the Circassian is
not yet forgotten. two or three cases of un-
usual sufferings by shipwreck have been
reported in the HERALD within week, and
to-day ship is ashore near Barnegat.
There are grave apprehensions as to the
safety of one of the Fall River steamers the
Newport. which is in danger near New
Haven, and the unfortunate steamer Ame-
rique. of the Transatlantic line, went ashore
near Long Branch yesterday. The last
named vessel will be remembered as the
one which was abandoned at sea two
or three years ago, and it would
almost seem as if she had an
intelligence of her own and was bent upon
suicide. Happily, the loss of life conse-
auent upon these accidents is small, but
the similarity of the cases suggests the
question whether the nation should not pay
Us much attention to the prevention of ac-
cidents as it does to the saving of life after
accidents have occurred. Powerful fog
whistles ut each life-saving station would in
all probability have given the stranded ves-
sells timely warning and prevented the loss
of several lives and a large amount of valu-
able property. While cases of grounding
are so frequent it would seem as if fog sig
nails are fully as necessary and useful as

These lateral canals are a mere burden,
and not another dollar should be expended
on them except one or two which servo as
feeders for supplying the Erie Canal with
water. After throwing off this burden the
State should manage the Erie Canal on the
simple principle of inviting business and
keeping down the price of railroad freights.
If the tolls are put low enough
the main canal will always do a
large business, and whatever business it
does will contribute to the prosperity Of
New York city, whereas oil the railroads, ex-
cept the Central and the Erie, divert busi-
ness from New York. Water transportation
will always be cheaper than transportation
by rail when the roads make their charges
high enough to yield o profit. The
State and the city have vital interest in
keeping open this cheap channel of COM
munication with the West, and the present
Legislature must begin the policy of using
the canal merely to attract business. The
small amount of the canal debt which
still remains unpaid must be discharged
by State tax, and the Erie Canal
be forever dedicated to cheap transporta-
ton. 1t will then have large business,
even in years when the railroad competition
is most active and will prevent railway
freights from becoming exorbitant in years
when the roads are managed with view to
profit.

Our state Canals.

The annual report of the Canal Auditor,
just sent to the Legislature, makes melan-
choly exhibit of the business of the canals
for the last season of navigation. 1t has
been the most unprosperous year
in their whole history. We do not
believe that this extreme depression
is permanent, but it furnishes conclu-
sive reasons for o fundamental change
in our canal policy. The railroad war which
was so active during the season made the
railways more formidable competitors of our
public works than they have ever been be-
fore. This competition cannot be main
tanned for o series of years without bringing
utter ruin on the railroads, and we may
therefore expect the Erie Canal to recover a
portion Of its lost business. But the railway
competition will hereafter be SO formidable
that the State must abandon all idea of
making the canals source of revenue.
The tolls must be reduced to the lowest
point that will suffice for defraying the ex-
penses of superintendent and repairs, and
the worthless lateral canals must be aban-
doned. 1t is idle to talk of selling them,
for the State will never find q purchaser.
Their revenues and the deficiency of tolls as
compared with expenses are exhibited in the
