NEgS FROM PRINCETON.

The attention recently directed TO the affairs
of Princeton College has not been thrown
away. The trustees held a meeting last Thurs
day and took action which shows that they
have not been unmindful of the criticism so
freely expended upon the institution, and that
they purpose meeting it in the only effectual
way. Two trustees were chosen to fill va
cancies in the board, and three new professors
were elected, and the selections were all ex-
cellcnt. One of the new trustees is Dir. William
Libby, the managing man in the firm of A. T..
Stewart g. Co. Mr.. Libby is an elder in DR.. John
Halls church, and has been q generous bene-
factor of Princeton in ways which he has
never allowed the public to know. The other
trustee is Mr.. Charles Elmer, rich land
owner and business man OF Bridgeton, N. j.
The changes in the faculty consist of the ap-
pOintment of Prof. Charles A. Young to tho
chair of Astronomy in place of Prof. Alex
ander retired on q handsome pension the
creation of an adjunct professorship of Greek
to be filed by Prof. 4 8. Orrs; and the cleo

FLORIU4.

II il n lust decision. Florida rightfully voted
for Hayes, and if it were possible to eliminate
all the trickery fraud, and force on each side,
we have no doubt it would appear that the four
electors who voted for Hayes were duly chosen
by the majority of lawful Voters. But such an
investigation is now a physical impossibiliy.
The highest evidence that can now be OBJ
tanned in regard to the actual vote of the
State is the decision of its lawfully constituted
Returning Board. That evidence the Tribunal
has determined to accept as the highest, and
its decision will undoubtedly be approved by
the great multitude of citizens, Democrats and
Republicans, who prayed for the establish
ment of such a tribunal to resolve their doubts.
I'm some quarters it is thought very unfortu
nate that this decision was reached by vote
according with the partisan preferences OF the
members. 1t is unfortunate, we grant, that
not q single Democrat of the House, of the
Senate, or of the Supreme Court was able to
appTeciate the force of the argument sub
mittad by Mcssrs. Evarts, Matthews, and their
associates. Nevertheless, we cannot profess
surprise. When this bill was pending, The
TRIBUNE opposed it on the very ground that
members selected after Il case had been made
~.
crafts because of their known opinions on the
DISPUTED questions, and that the Republicans
would virtually surrender the whole case If
they did not balance the Tribunal by the
selection of men whose opinions were also
known. Then the issue wOnld turn upon the
selection of the fifth Judge. Human nature
being what it is, nothing better was to be ex-
pccted. The result proves that the Democrats
did choose men whose opinions were not
shaken i'm the slightest degree by all the
strong arguments submitted in this instance.
More than one of them has been consid-
cred unusually fair and honorable, but
such is the force of party feeling that even
those members adhered to the extreme Demo
cratic theory as to the right OF Congress to
set aside the decision of State. Democratic
traditions went for nothing. The palpable UNI
fairness of accepting an illegal partisan de-
claration made after electors had voted, as
better than a legal decision made at the time
required by law, and by the board empowered
Nv law TO decide did not move one of them.
II can hardly DO deemed strange that the Re-
nub]ican members voted with equal unanimity
,he other way. The weight of argument was
with them; the spirit supposed to reside In
fine odd man, to which this measure socmnly
oppealed was with them. But it is now plain
that if the Republicans had chosen single
member of Democratic leanings in respect TO
the question at issue, they would have sur
rendered four electoral votes to which they
are rightllilly entitled.
The country now has right to demand
from the Democrats, whose threats and pro-
tests caused the acceptance of this measure,
and whose votes made it law, prompt and
unquestioning submission to the decision.
They were not willing to trust the officer

The San Francisco Clearing house began OPP
erations in March, 1876 and the Louisville i'll
the third week of January. On the whole, the
trade of New-YOrk appears from these returns
to have been quite as well sustained as that
of any other important city, and much better
than that of Philadelphia. 1t appears, also,
that during the week ending Feb. 3, for
which the returns are given from only ten cities,
New-Yorl shows a gain of nearly 3 per cent,
New Orleans about 7l2 per cent, Louisville
about 9lo per cent, and Boston about 10 per
cent, while Philadelphia shows a loss of nearly
lG per cent, Chicago 5i2 per cent, Baltimore
4la per cent, and st. Louis 2l2 per cent. Tho
comparison shows that when all classes of
business are included-whOlesale, retail, legiti-
mate, speculative, manufacturing, domestic,
and foregn-as in clearings all appear, the
business of New-YOrk Is not altogether on the
decline If, as is believed, prices are about
per cent lower than last year, the comparison
indicates general increase in quantities ex-

No sooner is one school of political economy
swept away by the ruthless hand of the hard
times than another comes to take its place
Henry d. Purroy treads close upon the mighty
heels of VIM. X. Martin. No sooner has the
one formally abandoned the demonstration OF
his great theory that the world owes day
laborers living. than Mr.. PuirOy, undlsmhycd
by this failure, lays down the broad principle
that the city must pay the campaign expenses
of Aldermen by comfortable addition to their
salar es. He SAYS substantially that the heads
of departments have an undue advantage over
the members of the local legislature, because.
getting their offices by appointment, they need
not spend large sums in campaign expenses, or,
as Alderman Purr0y would never have
said it, to buy up "the boys" This was
a beautiful sentiment indeed to air in a con-
ference of municipal ieformcrs, gathered to
consider means of tightening the burdens
of the city-nOt ways of adding to the per-
quisites of ward politicians. Nevertheless,
though Alderman Purroy disturbed the meet
ing he was not the only hopeless feature about
it. Ii was far more discOuraging to find the
heads of all the departments protesting III turn
that TO reduction could be made in their eX-
penscs without serious detriment to tn" pub1c
service, and thus reducing the conference to
IN absurdity. Indeed there seemed to be so
little of the spirit of concession in the gather
ing, and so little comprehension of its objects
or desire to comprehend them, that Mr. Nor
rissey's trite declaration that what is wanted
is "a proper charter, drawn by the citizens Of
"New-York for their city, which cannot be

This is not by any means satisfactory
showing for NewYork, especially as it appears
that at ths season about Al per cent OF all
grain came to this port in 1876, and about
Al per cent in 1875. But what letter can be
expected while the Central Railway, practically
crippled by snow-stOrms and by the disastrous
effects of the skinning to which 1t was sub
iected in order to yield nominal earnings last
year, suffers Baltimore and Philadelphia to
dictate its policy and It's rates? What better
can be expected while the merchants who
best understand these evils spend their time
at various meetings in referring plans from
Committee 80. 2" back to " Committee No. L.
or rce yersa. the real rulers OF tie city mean-
willie caring nothing about it :
Under the circumstances, it is gratifying
that the trade of NewYorli has not been
more seriously impaired. For the Clearing
house returns show that there has been some
real gain III quantities exchanged, ii not III
values, and that the trade of this city is much
better sustained than that of others. In con-
ncction with this the compilation of Clearing
house reports made by The PHbhc is interest
ing, the more as we believe that no attempt
has previously been made in this or other
counties thus to trace the progress Of trade
at different points by gathering and reporting
the clearings at all the commercial ccnters.

THE GRAIN MOVENENT.

The grain report made last Friday by the
Produce Exchange shows shipments from west
ern ports during the week ending Feb. 3 OF
$50, sol bushels, against 1,041, $50 during
the corresponding week last year and 1,O23,-
OO4 in 1875. From Jan. 1 to Feb 3 ship
ments were 4,O57,s79 bushels, against 5,969,-
s25 last year. The cause, as is well under
stood. is not a lack of grain, but peculiar
condition of the market which has caused i'm
mense quantities to be accumulated at West
ern points in expectation of an advance. De-
Quoting freight and other charges, the price at
Chicago is too high for New-York or for Liver
pool the spectators on warike prospects hold
as long as they can to realize the expected adj
vance. 1t is probable that this advance has
already been 80 far discounted that ii war
should occur the price would hardly make
good the operators.
REGENTS at Eastern cities continue to show
the disastrous effects of the sham peace to
which, after many sounding promises and much
buster of protecting Ncw-York," the Van
.dcrbIt interest was forced to consent Out Of
1,S27123 bushels of grain received at the six
Atlantic ports during the week ending Feb. 3,
ONLY 6S5, GS3 bushels came to Now York, or
80 per cent. The loss OF tnis CITY mas Deeh
especially marked in corn; out of 1,267,2OO
bushels Of corn received at the same ports
during that week, this city took only 31S,O32
bushels, or 25.1 per cent, while Baltimore cap
turel 7O5, 900 bushels, or $50 per cent. How
ever, this latest week is by no means the worst
of the year thus far. In fact, the average has
been even worse. The total receipts of flour
and each kind of grain at each port from
Jan. to Feb. 9 we have compiled from the
weekly reports of the Produce Exchange thus:

The Democratic election machinery in Mis-
sissippi, as explained elsewhere, seems to be
far more complete than Mr.. Tweed's was. 1t
combines all lns Improvements in the art OF
ballot box stuffing with all the Mississippi
modes of intimidation, violence, and imposi-
ton upon credulous blacks. Altogether 1t
forms about the most admirable apparatus fol
making a majority out Of minority even

These Louisiana witnesses are an interesting
set. Another clerk of the Returning Board
gave some valuable testimony on Saturday.
He had come down, like the wolf on the
fold, to expose the Beard, but succeeded
only in taking forty millions of people into
his confidence about his bibulous habits.
Evidently the committee thought no sober
man would include himself in a general and
hilarious charge of forgery and fraud so
they asked him frankly if he was not intoxi-
Gated at that very moment, and showed so
little respect for his denial as to take
a census of his days drinks. In the morn
ing, it seems. he had had ga glass OF
Gale, glass of cider, a toddy, and
Cocktail" and also "a couple of CIGARS" the
latter seeming to be, in his opinion, OF the
family of int0xicants. But this was not all.
just before he encountered the committee he
had braced himself up with two more toddes.
After this course of badly mixed drinks, he
was quite clear in his mind that he was per-
fecly sober, also that he knew just how the
affdavts of violence and intimidation were
manufactured and as for what consolidated
statement was, "thcre wasn't man IN the
Country who knew it any better" Poor MI
Field!

We sympathize with the universal wall of Mr..
Tiden's friends over the apparent partisanship of
some members of the Electoral Tribunal. The Flor
ida vote was rather destructive of reverence for the
High Commission because it precisely eclroed and
mirrored what we had heard and seen of the High
Commissioners while yet they were simply Demo-
cratic and Republican gentlemen clad with no
plcnary powers to make President But 1t Is not
vet TOO late to shake off the shackles of party. 1T
some one or more of the seven Democrats who have
hitherto voted with stubborn unanmity Will only
be reasonable and step the party line to the
majority, the -partisanship of the Tribunal will
be demonstrated. The Judicial faculty of Thurman
or Bayard or the three Representatives, may not be
adequately developed for such heroic adventure;
but may we not cherish the hOpo that Justices Cliff
ford and Field will yet trample their party preju-
dices and take their stand beside the other Justices
with the stern determination that the legal decision
of the States as certified by the lawful State officers,
shall not be defeated by violence or fraud, that the
right of the States shall be preserved and their
voice IN the election respected, as it has been re-
spected in every previous election since the founda-
ton of the Government
