would be the hight of injustice to keep the
Door man in exile any longer. The costly lit
igation has established the fact that there was
no crminality in plliaging the public treasury
except in the case of Tweed, and even lis
ofiense was only the misdemeanOr of neglect
inc to audit. With the rest of the Ring the
city has merely had little misunderstanding
about accounts, a matter Of arithmetic that can
be settled by' arbitration and compromise
Woodward has disposed of his share in the
difficulty. Garvey is out of trouble. Ingersoll
has been pardoned. Hall has run away,
TO be sure but then he has been
formally acquitted Peter b. Sweeny has
been released from liability with a
handsome complimentary remark from the
bench of the Supreme Court. Nobody seems
to have done anything very wicked except
the two men who are dead, James Sweeny
and Watson and they were the tools rather
than the members of the Ring. Tweed, hay-
ing dlvulged to Mr.. Tilden and John Kelly
all that he knows to the damage Of prominent
politicians, is packing his trunk in expec alton
of "A speedy release from Ludlow Street Jail.

The record of the Ring suits can hardly be
read with patience. After these huge and
tedious prosecutions, running through series
of years, involving a labyrinth of preliminary
investigations, enisting a battalion of lawyers,

The one short triumph of the prosecution IN
the sentence of Tweed was spoiled by the
Court of Appeals. Ingersoll, who went 10
Sing Sing because he had been indscreet enough
TO add forgery to peculation, was released
in order TO give evidence against SWechy,
and now it appears that his evidence Is not

criminal indictments. OF the comparatively
small sum of money recovered from tDe
Watson estate and other sources, about
half has gone to the lawyers, and up 10

The long, dry Summer of the Orient has at
last set in. The SHOWS are leaving mountain
pass and plateau, and retreating to the rayincs
of the loftiest peaks; the full, turbid rivers
are shrinking into clear, shallow streams, and
the marshes and low plains exhalc malaria in
drying. From this time forward we may ex-
pect that the.militlry operations on both sides
will be conducted with greater activity and
earnestnesS. The news from Armenia, in fact
shows that the Russian forces are advancing
with much more rapldity than previously, and
also that Mukhtar Pasha is growing less and less
inclined to measure his strength with theirs.
His position. il we may trust the Turkish
report, is rather singular. His center is at
Koprikoi, at the functions of the roads from
Erzerum to Kars and Bayazid; his right wing
at Debaba, 8 miles further. on the latter road :;
and his left wing about - to . miles north
by east, from EIzcrum. Instead, therefore, of
fronting the enemy's advance, his army IS dis
posed almost en- echeion TO the Russian left,
which, advancing from Bayazid had reached,
at the last reports, Toprdk-kaleh, which is
not more than 20 miles from his extreme right.
at Deliblba. If the Russian left has suspended
its movement, it is simply to allow the center
and right now within easy supporting dis
lance, time to approach nearer TO Mukhtar
Pasha's font, or TO turn his left flank and cut
off his communications with TrebizOnd The
movement upon Van is made by a detached
column. The Russians have shown good
strategy in passing Kars probably leaving
behind sufficient force to invest iD, and
making Erzerum their first objective point.

THE SCHOOL BILL.

One of the most important of the bills now
awaiting the Governors decision is that relat-
ing to public instruction i'll the City OF New
York. Such is lis official title; it might be
called n bill to separate the New-IOrk COM
mon school system from municipal politics.
The efficiency of our free schools can only be
preserved by keeping them carefully apart
from the coruptions and complications OF par
tisan contests, and making politicians clearly
understand that whatever schemes of plumber
and patronage they may pursue elsewhere,
they must not NEEDLE with public education.
Starving the teachers cutting down the APP
proprations, and attempting to revise the sal
airy lists, they have inspired the friends OF the
schools with reasonable alarms, and the result
is the bill in question.
Ii practically makes the Board of Education
an Independent corporation, with power to Tx
its own expenditures within certain reasonable
limits, and with its own counsel. The Board
of Estimate and Appointment is directed to
cause to be raised annually by tax a sum equal
to the amount appOrtioned by the State for the
support of the schools within the City OF New
York and whatever further sum may be re-
quired to meet current expenses already au-
thorzcd by law-nOt exceeding, however, III
the aggregate $14 for each pupil-shall be
raised on the estimate and report of four
sevenths of the Board of Education. The
Board of Estimate and AppOrtiOnment has no
power to revise this requisition. The amount
necessary to pay existing arrears OF salaries
and wages is to be included in it.
We hope the Governor will give this bill
his approval The Board of Education is COM
posed mostly of worthy citizens free from
partisan influences, and in a certain sense ex-
perts in their calling, and they are much bet
ter qualified to manage their own affairs than
the statesmen of the City Hall. The demand
of the people is emphatic there must be no
politics in the schools.

RAILROAD DIVIDEADS.

In another column are given tabular state
mcnts of the returns now made to stockhold-
crs by all railroads IN the country which are re-
ported to have paid dividends within the half
wear ending June /. AS those roads are omitted
which passed the last semi. annual or quarterly
dividend due, so wherever the latest dividend
declared shows an increase or decrease from
the former rate, it is taken as the basis, the
object being to ascertain what proportion OF
railway stock is still yielding returns, and at
what rate, and not to determine the aggregate
returns made within the past year. The tables
given include 81 roads which pay dividends
on their entire stock, II which pay on pre-
ferred stock only, and 81 roads which obtain
dividends on stock under The provisions of
leases. Aggregate dividends of minor roads
not specified, which are leased by twenty three
corporations, are presumed to be receiving the
amounts required by their leases, inasmuch as
these corporations are known to have paid
other and more important rentals. There re-
main only 16 roads which pmd dividends in
1876, according to the latest edition of
Poor's Manual, and these have in the aggre-
gate only $5,219OlS in stock, and then paid
only $2J9,306. Presuming that their earnings
are still the same. We have an aggregate of
$500. 6l1, 702 in stock, which still yields diyi-
dends amounting to So, 1872, 07O yearly. The
same companies paid in 1876, according
to Poors Manual, dividends amounting to
500, $3.50. But other companies, which

poor at a distance. Let
A. -, .nen show theirs by going into the
highways and byways and compelling the Door
ard vile to come up to better ways Of living.
Then the aggregate of 100000 members could
show a larger record than $500 men provided
with employment in the last year. Each man
whose heart was in his work could surely have
helped some one poor wretch TO work and
wages in this hard Winter just past.
We do not wish TO be misunderstood. We
have only praise, and that the beartiest, for
the good work and good intention Of this great
society. But it is because its work is so neces-
sary and its intention honest that we utter
this warning. The moment powerful organ
ization begins to accumulate wealth or to make
q vain display of it, that moment it attracts
men whose intentions are not honest. In
some of the large cities already the Y. NJ. G. A.
has been made by these interlopers a political
lever. In those cities the very name Of tho
Association is tainted in popular opinion by
contact with these men and their aims We
are well aware that the help given to the class
it is intended to benefit has been wide and
effective but 1t is very intelligent, clear
sighted class, and will demand high SINGER
ity in the men who attempt to lead it. We
would remind the Association too that the
Moravian Church, the most successful mission
airy organization in the world, supported all
its missions last year at an expense of less
than $25O,O00. This argues, of course ex-
ceptional zeal and scf-sacrifce On the part Of
its members. With like zeal and unworldli-
ness and its large income, what may not the
Y. NJ. C. A. accomplish But money and
power since the world began have had soiling
qualities. The Association must take care that
its hands are clean if it would do its work.
