70RUENTjNG FRESHMEN.

We are glad to observe that DR.. McCosh.
the President of Princeton College has taken
thorough measures to protect the members OF
the new Freshman Class from the vulgar an
noyanccs to which in most colleges they are
subjected. 1t appears that candidates for adj
mission at Princeton are especially insultcd
by the bows of the outgoing Freshman Glass,
who are in great hurry 10 assume the tradi-
tional privileges of their new rank. Right
minded lads would be glad to welcome the
new conner TO the h0spitaltlcs of the instItu-
ton, and TO show HIM those well-hred atten-
tons of which strangers naturally stand IN
need. The custom is to dog his footsteps, TO
ironically cheer and to hustle, TO follow him
to the very door of the President, and thus
10 include that officer in the insulting de-
mODsiratiOn. The same annOyances are Kept
up while the new men are gong into the Hall
for examination; and This year they were so
gross that - Of the offenders were ordered TO
leave town Immediately. Then the Class Of
80 bccame boistcrous and troublesome, and
consequently President McCosh, tired of halt
measures, suspended it bodily-a thing which
has not before occurred since the foundation OF
the College in the year 1746.

laid upon "the United States" Congress
passed laws in 1875 and 1907 authorizing the
President 10 call out the militia or employ inc
regular land and naval forces to assist the
authorities of State in REFRESHING domestic
violence. 1t is under these statutes that the
President is sometimes called upon to inter-
fcre. But he can only do so when his and Is
invoked by the State for the purposes speci-
fed in the Constitution. The power conlideu
TO him is discretionary. The courts have
ruled that he must judge for hinis'll
rs to the facts in each particular case.
" Domestic violence is defined TO he arnneo
instruction, AMI if the resistance to the
local authorities does not amount 10
an armed nsurrcction, he cannot act, ana
whether il does or not he himself Is to decide.
He cannot act until his and has been invoked
by the State; hence If there are TWO rNai
State governments he is required, IN respohu-
ing to such an appeal, to determine which OF
thc>two is legitimate. But he has no business
TO decide between them except incidentally 10
the exercise of his authority to reprcss dohes-
tic violence. He has not been constituted the
general arbiter OF State quarreis, ana TIC u
not called upon to ."rccOgnize claimants III
time of peace.
When our excited South Carolina friend asks
us. therefore, whether Mr. Hayes has not
"choscn for himself what powers he VIII ex-
"crcisc. without the slightest regard to the
provisions of the Constitution" we reply, No.
On fine contrary. ne has acted in strict obcdi-
cnce 10 the Constitution. In South Carolina
and Louisiana he decided that at the time oil
his accession there waa no such armed lns'ir-
rcction, such fragrant rebellion and civll war
aS constituted "dOmcStic violence" III the
sense of the Constitution, and therefore II was
not his duty to take the extreme step OF call
ing ont the militia or employing the army.
And since he did not intend to interfere, he
WAS neither required nor authorized to decide
which of the opposing Administrations III those
two States had been fairly elected. That he
Judged rieht in both cases was proved by 'hc
event. for rs soon rs it became known that he
would not call ont the troops the so-calcd
"violcncen ceased and the rival Legislatures
coaIcsccd, and peace and quiet have prevailed
ever since
OF course a great many republicans believe
that peace has been obtained ut Columbia ard
Newt Orleans by the triumph OF men who were
not elected. But that is not to the point
Great wrongs have no doubt been committed
in both States; only it is not the Presidents
business TO right them. Enormous trouble has
been necdcssly made III the working OF the
Reconstruction acts and cXaSpcratlng conln-
sion introduced into national politics 10y the
carpet baggcr's pet theory that the President
is required TO "su,tan" every claimant OF a
govcmorshp whom he believes to have been
clccicd.-a theory which finds 10 justification
i'm any line of the Constitution or the laws
but is mere impudcnt assumption.

SUICIDES IL .JENN.

Our exchanges just now confirm the fact,
announced lately by somebody with turn of
mind both ghoul-likc and scientific, that the
present month is the one when the propensity
10 suicide is always most prevalent. They are
full of accounts of miserable people weary of
breath, who have taken up pistol or Paris
glccn against their sea of troubles, and 80
ended them. Men tired of scoldng wives,
women jealous of their husbands, young girl
vino could not "pass" in algebra, a young man
who lost Il trinket, are among these extra
ordinarily unhcroc people. The superintendent
of insane asylums, who ought 10 know some
thing about the matter, announced their opinion
recently that suicides were not necessarily
insane, while, by an odd coincidence, on the
same day the Supreme Court of Pennsylvania
declared that they were.
We are not at all sure that ii is wise to hold
any more pour parIrs over these wretched
people. Even Saircy Camp held that there were
some corpscs that we needn't make much of.
The suicide is certainly among them Let him
pass ut once ont of sight. II can do him no
good in his grave to discuss the cause that
hurried him there; it Isl point which his friends
would usually gladly cover and it certainly
does not ut all concern the public. The sui

There has been some difference of opinion asto
the wisdom of binding the jefferson Market Court
house in the way in which it was built. The Mum
cipa Society, for instance made Spartan estimate
that Sl5O,OOO had been unnecessarily expended
upon il. We suspect however, that the average
man is 40 much pleased to find municipal binding
actually delight To the eye, that he thinks more Of
his unusual experience in getting something for his
money than of the money itself. But now that the
building has been completed. there will be no two
opinions about the wisdom of putting it to immrd-
ate use Mr. Tousey's reminder TO Mayor Ely that
the Courthouse is not relieving the Tombs, as it
should of its quota of prisoners, because there is
money 10 pay keepers. ought To be promptly needed

character and take wide range. Taxation,

Importance are to he discussed, and there are
numerous papers relating 10 education, public
charities, and the means for slipprosaing vice.

Jules Ferry, one of those able and honest
men who have preserved the Republican faith
in France, yesterday defined the situation
clearly when he said the present conflict was
between personal and parliamentary govern
ment. President MacMahon's acts and words
admit of no other meaning. IN his message
he deprecated the independence of the
Legislature, and appealed to the country
TO elect deputies who will promise to support
him. With the issue thus narrowed to blind
obedience 10 MacMabOn and his Royalist Cab

1t seemed easy when the Third Avenue
Railroad made its application for permission
to use steam upon its road to see that, while
its object doubtless was TO deceive the public
with the notion that the general demand for
rapid transit was TO be respected, rapid transit
was in reality farthcst from IT. thoughts The
truth of tins suspicion was made plain yester-
day by the decision of the Aldermen TO allow
the experiment, as il is strangely called, to be
tried. That Company proposes, 1t is now
stated, to use steam only between Harlem ana
the Sixty-ffth-st depot, and this the Alder
men will permit to be DONE for the present,
with but five cars. The Third Avenue Railroad
has in view economy. of the time OF the
public, but of the money Of the company; ana
so far as It's scheme is called by the name OF
rapid transit, IT is a dclusion and snare.
