The Proposed Fee Bill In the surro-
gates Court.

An important bill, introduced by Senator
GERARD ~ this city, is now pending in the
State Legislature. II is entitled AN act
authorizing the Surrogat" Of the county of
New York 10 charge and collect certain fcc-.
aud directing the disposition Thereof"
and its purpose. as might Doe gathered from
it, title, Is the introduction Of graduated
fee bill in the Surrogatc's Court Of this
county.
In tho first place, Il would soon 10 reflect
i've people sufficient and conclusive ohlec-
tlon to this bill that there is no reason or
occasion whatever Tor a change Of the pres
cnt law in this respect. Uncallcd-fpr csisla-
ton is one OF the pcstilcnt evils II the times
On the probate Of IA will where the value
of the property sha'l hc over $1,000 and UNI
der $1,000 the Surrogate is authorized 10
collect from the executor or administrator
50; and this charge is increased in proper
tion to the amount Of property involved I'M
iii We find 500 charged wien the value Of
the estate exceeds 100000. Foes are inn
posed upon the granting Of letters Of admin
istratiun; upon the granting Of letters Of
guardianship; upon the appointment Of a
receiver of real estate; upon entering a de-
cree on the final settlement of the account Of
any executor, administrator, guardian. trus-
tee, or receiver; upon entering an order for
the mortgage, leasc or sale Of real estate,
and upon making decree for the admcas-
uremcnt Of dover. In this way, from the
minute an estate gets into the SurrOgate's
Court until its final settlement, a tax Is inl-
posed on each successive stop.
The fees thus collected are to bc paid over
by the Surrogate - the Comptroller, to he
by him credited Ia the account OF the OK
pcnscs of maintaining the Surrogate Court
On principle We are opposed to any fee bill
in any court, and the objection applies with
particular force in Surrogate's or Probate
Court. 1t costs already quite enough to set
Tie up an estate, and the tendency OF such
measures as this will bc to drive all capital
out of this county, and to still further de-
crease the number Of resident taxpayers.
There is no justification whatever Tor this
special legislation in reference to the city
and county Of New York, and the bill should
be voted down unanimously.

WASHINGTON, April 22.-Thc numerous APP
plicants for the vacancy on the Supreme bench.
who have been filing recommendations at
Washington. and pursuing their - claims" with
personal importantly. may save themselves
trouble and expense 10y learning that it is prac-
ticaly disposed Of. The Judges are united In
the opinion that. as the South has no rcpresen-
t.tion In the court. the vacancy should be filled
from that section. They also favor tho appoint
ment Of Mr.. Bristow.
Chief Justice Waite. who Is n personal friend
and political adviser Of the Fraudulent Pres-
dent. is very jealous in Brstow's behalf. and he
enjoys opportunities TO urge his interest that
few possess. As frontier State. Kentucky can
hardly be considered a representative of the
South proper. and politically considered. Mr..
Brstow is more in aflllintion with the pro-
nounced Republicans Of Ohio than with the
opposition of Kentucky.
The whole bar Of tho vacant judicial district
have pressed Judge Drummond for this place.
on account Of his admitted ability and the salts
faction he has given to the profession and the
public in his circuit Senator Howe claims IL
on the patriotic ground that he refused TO ac-
ccpt District Judgcship several years ago.
when his seat in the Senate would have been en-
dangered by esignation. Senator Christiancy
who was quite willing to accept the mission to
Mexico is also an applicant and is strongly adj
vocated by Zach Chandler. who longs for re-
turn to the Senate and thinks there is n chance
for his election If Christiancy could be got out
of the way.
A multitude Of other aspirants Of various de-
grees seek the silk gown ms they would clerk
ship In one Of the public Offices. All the indca-
tons are favorable to Bristow. unless the Adj
minstrntion should find 1t necessary to put the
vacancy in market for political influence or to
carry out partisan combinations. The appoint
ment will probably be held back until the next
term of the court because II II should 20 South
as is now intended. Aliunde Joe Bradley would
be- assigned TO the district formerly filed by
Mr.. Justice Davis. Meantime all the applicants
are encouraged with hopes of ultimate SUCCESS

The new political manifesto of Secretary
THOMPSON for thus we may designate the
body ofthe interview which he has prepared
for publication, and which appears in
to-day's SUN-has shadowy aspect
and mouldy odor about it. 1t is a
proposition to call back from its tomb
the old Wing party, with some of
its features destroyed and others dis
torted, and without the force or energy of
life that once gave 1t place in the country.
From the care that was taken in the prcpa-
ration of this manifesto by a member Of the
Cabinet, it can be taken for granted that it
represents scheme of HAYES and his Fraud
ulent Administration. and that il Is put out
rs fccler at this emergency. SO full of por-
tents warnings, and ominous hootings from
the dismal shades.
1t is scheme Of desperation for the
Fraudulent President. 1t shows that he
realizes that lac is deserted by the leaders of
his party; that he feels his inability to con-
troll his incensed party: that he is filled
with apprehension and dread Of the attacks
that will soon be made upon him. and that
he is seeking for some refuge to which
he can fly from the impending storm.
Realizing his impotence and the weakness
of his position, he yet seeks 10 undermine
and break down the Republican party.
which put him whore he Is. TO discredit its
leaders, to demoralize its rank and file, and
to abolish its very name. If he must go
down, he will nj least carry with him in the
crash the party that put him up. He will
show MORTON, and BLAINE, and CAMERON,
and CHANDLER. and LOGAN. and CHAMBER
LAIN and PACKARD, and the rest Of them,
that their desertion 81 him after his dcser-
ton of them is an offence the penalty u
which must be borne 10y both sides.
But can the Fraudulent President pull
down the Republican party and oblitcrate
Its principles, its policy, and its platform
Can he force its leaders out Of it and into
his Wing party, or transfer its voters
I'm mass from one side to another
The leaders Of the Republican party are
men who have not been accustomed
e. this kind Of thing, and who will not at
this time, or AT the hands of HAYES, tolerate
1t. 1t Is more likely that in the conflict
soon 10 open all along the line between him
and them they will paralyze his Admins
tration, drive him into Tylcrism and imbc-
cility aud make him rue the day that saw
him Fraudulent President.
He will set up old Whisgory on tho ruins
Of the Republican party-old Whiggcry
with lecr on its shrvellcd face. THoMp-
son Of his Cabinet. from Indiana. has got
up the prOgranme-a protective tariff, in
tcrnal improvements by the Federal Gov
eminent, and sound currcncy-all Of
which three principles may be- condensed
under tine one title Of wholesale subsidies
through trading and corruption. Thus the
country will lie paclied, and the Treasury
bankrurted.
We shall sec how the Republicans take
this proposition Of the Fraudulent Admins
tration to be turned into subsidy Whigs,
and u be forcibly baptized by wholesale.

ton on the Republican side will speedily

OF this opinion. The settlement in Lousi-
ana, and the mode Of reaching it, will form
the ground Of attack. Instead of weaken
Ing the position taken by Mr.. BLAINE and
the large class that he represents, it has
strengthened it materially; and no in
vcnthe genius il needed TO find the way for
organizing a hostile movement.
Resolutions Of inquiry have already been
prepared, which will lay the foundation for
charges and bitter debate on the Louisiana
question. 1t is openly alleged that the de-
foction in PAcKArD's Legislature was
brought about partially by the personal
persuasion Of the Commissioners; and when
that failed, by menaces which were more
effective. II will hc interesting to know

oyERWoRKING cHILDRENs BRAINs.
A New Educational system-schooI Teachers
better Than Policemen.

To THE EDITOR OF THE SUN--Sir: In an
article under the above heading THE Sun has
discussed one Of the most important topics con-
corning the welfare Of future generations.
Education is generally understood. in a very
narrow sense. as mere stulng ofthe brains with
some undigested notions Of knowledge. without
any regard To the proper and harmonious de-
vclopment OF the whole being-body and mind.
Parents are unwisc and unreasonable: instead
OF giving their children good, substantial food
ii speak of those who are not in absolute pow
erty). they feed them with candies. cakes. and
sweetmeats. which make them weak and sickly.
They sleep nervously. get up late suffering with
headache. and If they live long enough go to
school to be shut up in small rooms. There they
stay three hours. and are then allowed to 20
into a yard overcrowded and damp. The sun
does not shine there once in year. AT the
sound Of the bell they return TO their little cor
ners for two or three hours more, and finally
20 into the street or into the small rooms of
tenement house. BY and by they become Just
as healthy rs plants which happen to grow by
compost heap on the shady side Of barn.
We must begin education another way; we
must have schools for children from Two To
seven years old we must first take care of the
body. because there will never be- n sound mind
without sound body: we must have schools
lifted for the number OF pupils they are to re-
ceive with plenty of room. air. light and sun
shine; We must have yards in which 200 or 900
children can play easily. and gymnasium or
covered play ground; we must require the
children to come To school earlier in the morn
ing and stay later in the evening-ahout eight
or nine hours in all divide those nine hours
into two parts. half for the body and half for the
brains. Let each school have It's bathing place.
somewhere in the river and let tho pupils swim
ut lenst three times every week in SIMMER and
hathe once week in winter. Let healthy chill
dren be under such discipline from to II
years Of age. and am sure there will be a great
many less pale faces. &C., in the city.
II would cost few millions to get this svs-
tenn in New York. 90 be- sure. but am certain
that it would be paying Investment in a great
many ways. Instead OF 1000 policemen and
OOn school teuchcrs. we could. perhaps, have
1000 teachers and 900 policemen to 1O00.OO0
inhabitants. Would It not bc even better 10
spend $40 to train up n man to morality or use
fulness than 81 to cage him and render him
harmlessl j. j. BURNER.

this task are skilled in parliamentary war
fare, and are not likely TO plant their
batteries out of range Besides, there
are other methods of initiating cam
paign like that ahead OF u.s. But the
simple and direct plan suggested affords the
best means Of reaching the public mind, be-
cause the resolutions themselves will bc the
bugle call TO arms, and the answers, what
ever they may be, cannot be shaped in such
a way as to weaken their effect.
Any attack on the Administration no mat
ter who may lead 1t, or what may be the
motive, will find n sympathetic response
in the hearts of the great body Of sturdy
and working Republicans They point TO
the Cabinet as proof Of HAYES treachcry
at the start to his so-called Southern policy,
as confirmation of tho charge; and to
the civil service sham, by which
the patronage of the Government is to be
pcrpetuated in the hands of o1lcholdcrs no.
toriously corrupt and convicted of all man
ner OF jobbery, as an insult to the name of
reform, and base dcscrtion of the men who

and Offices and subsidies for the Democrats
on the other.
1t is too early to develop fully the plan OF
campaign OF this new party In 1880; but
there will, no doubt, be novelties in 1t. Mr..
EvARTs is man Of talent, and he will not
be likely to make q commonplace sort OF a
rum OF course he will adhere strongly TO
the great system of Returning Boards, and
will take care beforehand TO get them estab-
lished in every State. Then, If he is de.
fcated in the election, ms, no doubt, he will
be, he will still be able to get himself counted
in; and, If he succeeds in this we shall have
another Fraudulent President t~ follow the
one we now enjoy. We beg to congratulate
Mr. EvARTs on such cheering prospects. He
is an ambitious man, and erhaps the situa-
ton delights him.
