An African Railroad scheme.

1t is perhaps scarcely worth while to dis
cuss the wisdom of the proposed appropria-
tion of money for the survey Of railroad
route in Africa, inasmuch as it cannot be
possible that money will be spent in such a
way at time when the democracy, through
pursuit of economy, Is getting cheap
reputation for legislative virtue. The petit
tion in which this appropriations is asked
for presents as its ultimate purpose the
ssopening market for our manufactures
with Central Africa, which is . large pro.
gramme. and proposes the modest initiation
Of preliminary survey ''from the Republic
Of Liberia one or two hundred miles into the
Niger Valley" As it is proposed that the
railroad thus begun shall be transcontinen-
tai it will eventually exhaust great many
such instalments, and before spending even
little money Congress will naturally want
to know how much money it must eventu-
ally spend to utilize that little. It is alto
gethsr bad time to propose that Con-
gress should build transcontinental rail-
roads, especially in Africa.

For long while it has been acknowledged
that Q dinner with Duke Humphrey was q
very insufficient repast for the hungry, and
future ages may be called upon to concede
that q judge of the same family can render
judgments as light and airy with regard to
law as the Dukes dinner with regard to nu-
tritious viands. But II Judge Humphreys
decision in the case Of Senator Patterson
had not much law in it at least 1t contained
some fine phrases. some original views in
regard to faction and first rate testimonial
or character for the United States Senate.
II any one wants more than that in q single
decision he is unreasonable. That body
(the Senate) the Judge holds Is morally
and intellectually capacitated" TO decide on
Patterson's case, therefore the Judge ''cannot
reconcile II to his sense Of duty TO give aid
in placing manacles and handouts around

as from the other. Some Of the manufac-
turers have not manifested . good spirit

rather to crush the strike by oppressive acts
than by conciliation, and the result has
been to make the breach between the en-
ployers and employed the wider the longer

Commissioner Murphy, treasurer Of the
Excise Board, explains to Q HERALD re-
porter what ia done with the money COL
tice, Mr.. Murphy says, to keep the license
money in bank for thirty days after the
license is granted, and then to hand 1t over
to the Finance Department. Meanwhile
the money has been deposited. under MI.
Murphy's treasurership, in the Germania
Bank, which has, he says. paid no interest
on the deposit Since the practice has pre-
vailed Of taking money from applicants In
advance Of the issue Of the licenses of course
the amount in the treasurer's hands has
accumulated largely. The deposits have
lain for months in the Excise Boards hands
without the application being acted upon.
Mr.. Murphy states that since last August he
has deposited all sums, whether on deposit
only or actually paid for licenses, with the
City Chamberlain; but he has now. he says,
seventy Ave thousand dollars in his own
hands, deposited in the Germania Bank, 80
that the former statement does not appear
to be strictly accurate. As Commissioner
Murphy gets no interest for this money Il
is not very shrewd financial operation to
keep it out Of the public treasury where II
would draw interest. Indeed, the Excise
fnanciering seems to be of very curious
character altogether Why should the actual
license fees be kept in the hands of the
Commissioners for thirty days after the
licenses are granted, or, indeed, for single
day Why should Mr.. Murphy deposit
seventy-fvs thousand dollars, or, indeed,
seventy-hve cents, Of the peoples money In
a bank to his private account, where il lies
without drawing interest? Does Mr.. MUIR
ply give bonds to the Chamberlain for the
safe keeping of the public moneys, and il
so, to what amounta The city is borrowing
money on revenue bonds. while Treasurer
Murphy is thus allowing thousands OF dol
lars of the peoples money to lie unsm-
ployed and (of course) improbable. This
is not financial skill; it is not even business
conduct. The Excise Board should be re-
quired to pay its receipts every day into the
Chamberlain's Office, which would b<much
moro convenient than to carry it down tc
the Germania Bank.
The New York herald., 1877-12-07

of honest intentions and fear that the great
trouble with him is that he has had bad ad-
visers. We do not doubt that he can make
better Cabinet than the present, and that,
too, without advertising and even WITHOUT
consulting the tastes of sprightly Western
editors or enterprising Washington corre-
spondents. When he does change his nd
visers we hope he will rely on his own good
sense-the same good sense that dictated
the best parts Of his Message We fear he
has lent too indulgent an ear to Western
prairie geniuses and brilliant Washington
correspondents. These correspondents
seem to think themselves commi missioned to
wind up the clock of public opinion but
the editors are more than certain, they are
cock-sure that they correct the time.
Strangers at Washington, taking these twin
powers at their own valuation, would sup
pose that they rule not only the President,
but the Cabinet, Congress and the whole
country. Such strangers would return
home more mixed than Dickens was on his
first visit and be qualified to write sillier
book than his American Notes" In oil
kindness to President Hayes we hope he
will cut loose from foolish advisers, whether
Of the backstairs sort or belonging to his
Cabinet. y.
In spite of some blunders he has still
golden opportunity, and with q sagacious
Cabinet he might emulate our really great
Presidents and aspire to rank next after
Washington and Lincoln. 1t may be said
that Washington laid the corner stone OF
the Republic, that Jackson made it habita-
BILE, that Lincoln put on the roof and
Hayes, if he rises to the height of his oppor-
tunities, may accomplish work hardly, less
valuable. Besides, from the exceptional
achievements of Washington and Lincoln
the country has done much under other
Presidents. The War of 1912 proved
our ability to take care Of our
selves, and the Mexican war attested
the resolution with which we protect
our borders and the generosity with which
we treat a conquered country. We paid
handsomely for all the Mexican territory
which we annexed, although we might have
held it by what Bismarck called the divine
right of conquest. We feel sure that Presi-
dent Hayes will protect the public credit
and maintain the national honor unsullied,
and if it should become necessary to take
Mexico in hand again we hope he will equal
the vigor and eclipse the magnanimity of
our first Mexican war; He has great oppor-
tunities and has not yet fallen into any mis-
takes SO irretrievable as to prevent his leay-
ing brilliant record.
